Dai Wei's expression changed when he heard what Old Shen said.
He hurriedly asked, "Old Shen, are you saying that everything that happened is related to the yellow-skinned man that I encountered?"
Di Jing seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Old Shen and said in uncertainty, "Old Shen, did Dai Wei offend an immortal?"
She was from the northeast and naturally knew some things about the Great Immortal.
Hearing the word immortal.
Ye Chen could not help but look at Old Shen.
Elder Shen nodded with a serious expression when he met their gazes. "Xiao Di, you're from the northeast, so you should know the rumors about the Xian family. There are five immortals in the Xian family. They are the fox, the snake, the weasel, the rat, and the hedgehog. They are collectively known as the Five Immortals."
Di Jing nodded.
Old Shen sorted out his thoughts and proceeded to speak, "It's said that the Five Immortals are animals with a certain level of cultivation. However, they must go through three stages and eight difficulties before they become immortals. For example, the Boy Stage, the Adult Stage, the Horse Stage, the Life and Death Stage, and the Heaven Stage."
Hearing this.
Ye Chen nodded to himself.
The deities that Old Shen mentioned were a little different from those in the cultivation world. The animals in the cultivation world cultivated to become spirits, and they would only experience the Thunder Tribulation. However, it was probably related to the different laws of heaven and earth in both worlds.
"Old Shen, does this mean that the person I met earlier was a Grand Immortal?" Dai Wei's face turned pale. He stammered, "I didn't offend it that much. I only scolded it a little. I was drunk at the time."
"Sigh!"
Old Shen sighed softly and said, "Xiaodai, this definitely wouldn't have happened if you pretended not to see it or ignored it."
Speaking up to this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, "As I said earlier, animals have to go through a tribulation. For example, the Boy Barrier. The so-called Boy Barrier is the barrier of ignorant children. As soon as they see snakes, rats, hedgehogs, weasels, and so on, they have to beat them up. If they don't die after being beaten up, even if they are covered in scars, they still pass the barrier."
"The second is the adult stage. Everyone in this society knows that people like heavy tastes. They especially like to eat bullfrogs, crayfish, wild boar meat, snake meat, and especially snake meat. If people want to eat them, that is the adult stage."
"The third level is the vehicle and horse level. For example, if a snake is run over by a passing vehicle on the road, it will be considered a failure."
Hearing this.
Di Jing asked subconsciously, "Old Shen, I've seen on the news that a university raised a white fox. The white fox was frightened when it was chased away by the students. It was run over by a car when it was running away. Is this the so-called Traffic Barrier?"
Dai Wei could not help but be curious.
He had also seen this news at the time. After it was hyped up on the internet, most netizens blamed the death of White Fox on the students of that university. In the end, the topic escalated to the point that the students of Hua Nation were trash and had no manners.
Old Shen nodded lightly and said, "The last one is the Heavenly Barrier, which is also known as the Heavenly Thunder Barrier. They've gone through all sorts of trials and tribulations before them, and they'll become immortals as soon as they pass the Heavenly Thunder Barrier."
Old Shen sighed softly as he spoke to this point. "Before they go through the Heavenly Tribulation, they'll try their best to get permission from humans."
"Old Shen, why do we need to be acknowledged by others?" Di Jing was shocked. She had never heard of such a saying even though she was a northeasterner.
Old Shen paused for a moment and said, "I heard from a master that humans are the rulers of this world. The human's will represents the direction of the universe on a certain level. Therefore, these animals would disguise themselves as humans and ask humans before going through the barrier. The questions they ask are simple. For example, 'Do I look like a human?'"
As soon as he said that.
Dai Wei's face turned pale.
What Old Shen said was very similar to what he had experienced before. The weasel had asked him the same question back then.
Di Jing asked, "And then?"
Old Shen said, "Most people would either be shocked or curse like Xiaodai when they encounter such a situation. Some of the more knowledgeable people would understand that the person is going to criticize them, so they'd say that they're just one person. Then, the person would leave while thanking them profusely."
"Old Shen, why would they ask such a question?" Di Jing was confused. She really felt like she had opened her eyes today.
Old Shen forced a smile and said, "Because they want to be acknowledged by this world. A human's words are like a sign of approval. If they're approved, it'll be much easier for them to go through the Heavenly Tribulation."
Ye Chen shook his head lightly.
He did not agree with what Old Shen said.
The reason why these animals asked such a question was because they were animals themselves. To put it bluntly, they were beasts. In front of humans, they would feel inferior. Therefore, they hoped to be recognized by humans. It was a psychological effect.
It was just like how Xiaoming hoped that his math teacher would respect and trust him. Before the final exam, Xiaoming would ask the math teacher if he could pass the exam.
If the teacher said, 'You're a piece of trash who dreams every day. Do you think you can pass the exam? Go eat sh * t. '
Then, Xiaoming …
Dai Wei's face was extremely pale at the moment. "W-What if I say that it's n-not like a human?"
Old Shen sighed and said, "If it doesn't look like a human, it means that you're denying its hard work in cultivation. You're also denying the trials that it has gone through. It'll leave a shadow in its heart, and it'll be even more difficult to go through the Heavenly Tribulation.
It'll be extremely dangerous. "
Bang!
Dai Wei fell onto the ground directly. His face turned pale. "I-it means that I ruined its cultivation, and it took revenge on me …"
"Sigh!"
Old Shen shook his head lightly. "Xiaodai, you said that no matter how you dress up, you can't change the fact that you're an animal. That's too much. I think it hasn't gone through the Heavenly Tribulation yet."
"It's already dead. How is it going to take revenge on me? I don't believe it. "Dai Wei clenched his teeth, unwilling to accept what Old Shen said. He felt like he was lying to himself.
Old Shen said, "Even humans know to look for help when they're being bullied. How do you know that it doesn't have a family? It doesn't have friends? "
"Old Shen, that means that it was an immortal that we encountered at the hotel earlier, not a ghost …" Di Jing secretly sighed in relief.
If it was an immortal, it would not be that afraid. After all, it had no grudge with them.
"I've no idea if it was an immortal or a ghost."
Old Shen shook his head and said, "But judging from the mark on Xiaodai's neck, that hotel must be related to the immortal."
At that moment, a pungent smell came from somewhere. It was accompanied by the smell of blood.
"What's that smell?" Di Jing pinched her nose immediately.
Ye Chen lifted his eyes to look at the bush ten meters away from the off-road vehicle. There was a piece of skin that was covered in blood.
Di Jing and Old Shen looked over as they followed his gaze. Their expressions changed drastically. Di Jing said while stammering, "D-Dai Wei, how did the clothes that you threw earlier turn into a piece of skin?"
