Chapter 82:
The Birth of the Demon Tortoise
In a dense forest, two escape lights flew through the air and landed on the ground. However, someone in the escape light exclaimed, and the light figure suddenly slowed down. Like a light feather, it slowly floated down, and then the light disappeared without a trace.
Madam Chen and Chen Jishi looked at each other and saw the lingering fear in each other's eyes.
Madam Chen patted her chest and looked around, saying, "Husband, this is the wilderness and there might be wild beasts around. We should leave quickly."
She took a few steps and her hand was grabbed by Chen Jishi. She looked at him strangely.
Chen Jishi stammered, "Wife, are you really going to give my son to Priest Zhang as his disciple?"
Madam Chen frowned, "Husband, why are you saying all these things now? Running for our lives is more important. "
She shook off Chen Jishi's hand and walked out of the forest with her hands on her abdomen.
Chen Jishi stomped his feet and chased after her. He went up to support Madam Chen. She struggled a little and let him go.
The forest was not big, but when Madam Chen was about to leave the forest, she paused, as if she thought of something, and said, "Wait, I saw a shadow chasing behind us. Fortunately, the little Daoist blocked it. If we go out now, what if the little Daoist couldn't block it and that person chased after us?"
Chen Jishi hesitated, "The little priest's mana is strong, I'm afraid …"
Madam Chen shook her head, "If the little priest can block it, why let us go first? Sigh, if only Priest Zhang was here. "
Chen Jishi was speechless.
Madam Chen looked at the sky and saw that the sun had risen. She immediately turned around and said, "Let's hide in the forest."
Chen Jishi was shocked, "There are tigers, wolves, jackals and leopards in the forest, why do you need to take the risk?"
Madam Chen said coldly, "Tigers, wolves, jackals and leopards, how can they be unpredictable? I'm not afraid, what is husband afraid of? "
Chen Jishi sighed and could only support his wife as they walked forward.
But after walking a few steps, Madam Chen's face suddenly turned pale and cold sweat dripped down her forehead. She felt a pain in her waist and abdomen. She reached out her hand and felt something red between her legs. She thought, Not good, could it be that my child is about to come out?
With this thought, he could no longer endure the pain and couldn't help but let out a moan.
Seeing his wife crying out in pain, Chen Jishi was momentarily at a loss of what to do. On the other hand, although Madam Chen was in pain, she was rather calm and ordered: "Husband, quickly remove the pot from your back. Go and gather some dry wood and fetch some water from the river to boil it."
Chen Jishi made a series of 'oh oh' noises. He was still grumbling about why his wife had given up on those books and insisted on bringing this pot with her, but now he admired his wife's foresight.
He wasn't someone who didn't know how to differentiate between the five grains and the four limbs of his body. His family often farmed for a living, so it wasn't messy to take care of these things. When they reached the river, he took off his long gown and poured the water into the pot. He brought it over and in a short while, he started the fire and boiled the water.
At this time, Madam Chen's pain was getting worse. He rubbed his hands nervously and paced around her, wishing that he could take her place.
Two hours had passed since Madam Chen was born, but the smell of blood had attracted many beasts in the forest.
Chen Jishi heard a series of rustling sounds and could faintly see something wandering in the forest. His heart was filled with fear and he didn't care if it was useful or not. He made the fire burn brighter and felt at ease.
He anxiously took care of Madam Chen for close to an hour before the child was finally born.
As soon as the child was born, the umbilical cord fell off and his eyes opened. Normally when a child is born, they would cry. But when this child was born, he let out a giggle. The sound was loud and clear, piercing through the sky and splitting the clouds. It shocked the birds in the forest and caused them to fly away. Many of the beasts in the distance seemed to be frightened and ran away with their tails between their legs.
Chen Jishi was bewildered and thought to himself, "When other people's children come into this world, they cry. Why is my child laughing?"
But at this moment, he was still immersed in the joy of becoming a father for the first time. This thought flashed past his mind and he carried the child and washed off the blood stains on his body. He wrapped the child in a robe and placed it at the side. He then changed a towel and wiped Madam Chen's body. Although Madam Chen was weak, she anxiously said, "Husband, is it a boy or a girl? Quick, bring the child to me to see. "
Chen Jishi nodded his head and tore off a piece of his robe. He wrapped the child up and handed it to his wife. He warmly said, "Wife, it's a boy."
Madam Chen struggled to stretch out her hand to take it. She looked at her child with an infinitely gentle gaze. From time to time, she would stretch out her fingers to tease him. However, she was also extremely tired. Not long after, she fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Chen Jishi was also tired, but he finally calmed down and let out a long breath. But after sitting for a while, he suddenly thought of something and was shocked.
He didn't tell Madam Chen about this. That day, he dreamt of a white-haired Daoist passing through the room. Later on, he found out that Madam Chen was pregnant and specially went to have her fortune read.
The Daoist told him that if Madam Chen's first child was a daughter, then she would be guaranteed a lifetime of wealth and glory. But if she was a boy, then her parents would definitely die.
He was originally skeptical about this, but with all the strange things happening before his eyes, he had no choice but to believe it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. He thought, "My family is a scholarly family. Although we can't be considered rich, we don't have to worry about food and clothing. I should be studying and taking exams right now, so why would I be involved in these strange things? This child must be a demon, and the root of the disaster for my family. Why don't I …"
As soon as he thought of this, he shakily stretched out his hands and picked up the child. He had the intention to throw this source of disaster to death.
But when he picked it up, he saw that the child's face was rosy, unlike the wrinkled and ugly appearance of other children when they were born. Moreover, the child's eyes were bright and lively, the pupils were like dots of paint. Seeing that he was carrying her, not only was she not afraid, she even giggled and stretched out her pink hand to play with his beard.
Seeing how cute this child was, Chen Jishi couldn't bear to do it. This was his own flesh and blood, so how could he bear to hurt him?
On the other side of the forest, Zhang Pan was riding a magic tool in the shape of a flying cloud in search of the Chen couple. When he arrived, he suddenly smelled the scent of blood and couldn't help but be startled. Following the scent, he found his way over.
Zhang Pan saw Chen Jishi raise his hands again and again, as if he wanted to throw the child to death. But the child thought that his father was just playing with him and was waving his arms and legs, giggling. Zhang Pan was shocked. Zhang Yan had told him that nothing could happen to this child, so he angrily roared, "Chen Sheng, what are you doing?"
Chen Jishi's hands trembled and he almost dropped the child. Seeing that Zhang Pan was still standing in the air, he picked up the child and sat down on the ground. Disregarding the filth of his clothes, he scooted backwards. Then, as if he had come to a realization, he threatened, "Don't come over, or else, or else I'll throw this child to death on the spot, and your master won't be able to be his master!"
Zhang Pan's eyes were filled with anger as he shouted, "Chen Jishi, even though I, Zhang Pan, am a beast, I know that even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. Why haven't you put down the child in your hands?"
"Beast?"
Chen Jishi was startled, then a look of realization appeared on his face. He said emotionally, "As expected, as expected, I guessed correctly. You are all jackals of the same tribe. This, this child is a monster!"
Although he said this, his hands didn't move. Zhang Pan was afraid of hurting the child, so he didn't dare to rush forward.
At the same time, a beautiful and dignified female Daoist with a fly-whisk in her hand passed by in mid-air. She seemed to be looking for something. At this moment, she glanced down and her eyes were filled with joy as she said, "Wonderful, wonderful. So Martial Uncle's disciple is here."
She pressed down on the cloud and saw Zhang Pan saying something in front of Chen Jishi. She hurriedly waved her fly-whisk and shouted, "Where did you come from, monster? Hurry up and leave, or else don't blame I for being merciless. "
Naturally, she could tell that Zhang Pan was a demon in human form, but she rarely killed. She also saw that Zhang Pan was stepping on a magical tool and the spiritual energy on his body was righteous but not evil, so she guessed that he might be a disciple of some big sect. Therefore, she did not want to cause any trouble and only wanted to drive him away.
Zhang Pan couldn't see the depth of this Daoist nun's cultivation. Now that he didn't have any talismans on him, he knew he wasn't this person's match. He thought to himself, "This Kun Dao's cultivation is high, and she seems to be from a righteous sect. She probably won't allow Chen Jishi to kill in front of her. I'll remember her appearance first, then I'll deal with her after I call master."
He then bowed to the Daoist nun and said, "This Daoist priest, I'll leave now." He glared at Chen Jishi fiercely and drove his instrument into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The Daoist nun leisurely walked to Chen Jishi. The latter sighed and stood up to bow, saying, "Chen Jishi thanks Daoist priest for saving me."
The Daoist nun smiled faintly and said, "You're called Chen Jishi? You don't have to be so polite. I came here for a matter today, saving you was just a matter of convenience. Speaking of which, this matter is also related to you. "
Chen Jishi was puzzled and asked, "May I ask Daoist priest, what is it?"
The Daoist nun glanced at the child in his arms, then looked back at him and said with a smile, "I came to accept a disciple."
Hearing this, Chen Jishi felt as if he was struck by lightning. He couldn't stand still and took two steps back as if he had given up. He let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it, it's not up to me anyway. You can take this child." With both hands, he held the child in front of the Daoist nun.
The Daoist nun glanced at the child and said, "What do I want this child for?"
Chen Jishi was stunned and said, "You … Daoist priest, aren't you here to accept a disciple?"
The Daoist nun shook her head and said, "No, it's not I who's here to accept a disciple, it's I who's here to accept a disciple on behalf of my Uncle-Master."
Chen Jishi smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't that the same thing? In short, you have to take this child away. "
The Daoist nun frowned and looked at the child again. She cupped her hands and said, "Layman Chen, it's not that I don't want to accept this child, but I see that this child is outstanding and has a strange phenomenon. I'm afraid his background is great and not something that I can accept. I hope Layman can forgive me."
Chen Jishi was confused and said, "If Daoist priest doesn't want to accept my child as a disciple, then who are you here to accept as a disciple?"
The Daoist nun smiled and cupped her hands and said, "Of course I'm here for Layman. Layman and my Shibo are connected by karma, so I should call you Shixiong. Now that the time has come, it's time to return to the mountain."
She didn't avoid it and went up to grab Chen Jishi and said in a deep voice, "Shixiong, come with I back to the mountain today."
Hearing this, Chen Jishi's mouth opened wide and his face was full of disbelief. Seeing that the Daoist nun was going to pull him away, he hurriedly struggled and shouted, "Wait, my wife …"
The Taoist priestess turned her head and smiled, saying, "In the future, when Shixiong has the ability to fly in the sky and burrow into the earth, you will be able to come back and visit Madam. Time waits for no man, Shixiong should leave with I."
With a wave of her horsetail whisk, the child in Chen Jishi's hand was carried by a gentle force to the side of Madame Chen. Then, with a shake of her sleeve, a puff of smoke rose from the ground, and the two of them broke through the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
