The next day, after the rain, water droplets dripped from the tips of the branches and leaves. Leylinfeng, who was squatting in the courtyard and brewing medicine with a palm-leaf fan, heard someone knocking on the door. He put down the palm-leaf fan and went to open the door. He asked, "Second brother, why are you here so early?"
The door to the courtyard opened, only to see a sloppy old man standing outside. He was dressed in a dirty blue robe and had a large medicine box slung over his shoulder. In his left hand was a banner with the words' Hua Tuo is Alive 'written on it. Seeing that it was a stranger, Leylin Feng blocked the door and asked coldly, "Who are you? What do you want?"
The sloppy old man was not annoyed. He looked into the courtyard and said, "Qilin descends from the sky, hundreds of ghosts walk at night, the Son of Destiny. You are the perfect material to be my disciple."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Leylin Feng's expression changed. He stretched out his hand, wanting to push the old man who was spouting nonsense to the side. However, he only managed to push empty air.
"Aiya, what a heavy corpse qi, swoosh swoosh …"
Leylinfeng looked back and saw that the old man was already in the courtyard. He pushed the door open and was about to enter the house. Fortunately, just as his hand touched the door, a peach wood sword stabbed out. The tip of the sword swayed, and more than ten sword points were aimed at the old man's vital points.
"Damn, do you want to kill me?"
The old man waved the long banner in his hand. With a clang, the old man retreated to the middle of the courtyard. Lei Budong stood in front of the door with his sword, and Leylinfeng also blocked the door with a shovel.
"Who are you!?"
Lei Budong held the sword in his right hand and twirled his goatee with his left hand. His eyes narrowed, and there was a hidden murderous intent.
"Me?"
The old man pointed his finger at the tip of his nose and grinned. He carried the long banner on his shoulder and said, "Elder Brother, I can see that you don't look like a nobody. Look at this and you'll know who I am."
The old man fumbled in his bosom for a long time before he took out something and tossed it to Lei Budong. Lei Budong caught it and had a look. It turned out to be a palm-sized white jade token with a carving of a high mountain in the clouds. In the middle of the cloud, there was a seal character "Mao".
"Mao Mountain Demonic Badge!"
Lei Budong quickly arrived in front of the old man and returned the badge with both hands. He looked much better and was about to say something when the old man stopped him. The old man put his hand on Lei Budong's shoulder and whispered something in a low voice. Leylin Feng was confused.
"Elder Brother Lei, your eldest grandson's bones are amazing. He's a good material to eliminate demons and defend the Dao." The old man held the baby, his face full of kindness.
"Holy sh * t, Sister Chu, Sister Chu, are you there?
What kind of trick is this? Did I transmigrate?
Damn it, I'm so unlucky. "
At this time, Du Kang was depressed. He never thought that the plot that only existed in novels and TV dramas would actually happen to him.
Looking at the sloppy old man who was hugging him, the more he looked, the angrier he became. Du Kang was up to no good and smacked his lips twice.
As a result, the sloppy old man was only halfway through his sentence when the baby peed on his face.
"This child!"
Leylin Feng hurriedly took a handkerchief and handed it to the old man. He pretended to want to spank the baby's butt.
"It's okay, it's okay. Hahaha, little guy, your greeting gift is really unique." The old man wiped his face with the handkerchief and returned the baby to Leylin Feng.
Looking at Lei Budong who was sitting in the middle, he said, "However, Elder Brother Lei, don't blame me for being straightforward. This child has a golden sword edge and is destined to be a child crossing disaster. Originally, he was born with a great calamity. Fortunately, your elder brother has good means. You broke the Hundred Ghost Encirclement House. I don't know what kind of treasures you used to take this child back from the gates of hell. Even so, I'm afraid he won't live past eight years old."
"Then Immortal … Oh, Sir, what do you think we should do?" Lei Budong looked anxious and stood up on the spot with both hands on the armrest.
The old man rubbed his right eyebrow and said, "It's nothing. I feel that this child and I are destined to meet. As long as he takes me as his master, let alone eight years old, even eighty years old is fine!"
"Okay, okay, it's his good fortune that Master is willing to accept this kid." Lei Budong didn't hesitate and readily agreed.
"Don't. Who is this old man? You've agreed to give me away." Du Kang could not speak. He could only watch his fate change with a few words from the two old men.
Leylin Feng, who was holding his son and giggling, looked at his old man. As soon as the word "but …" came out, Lei Budong glared at him.
"Well, as long as I'm here, all evils will retreat. Ah, by the way, I'm going to the mountain to prepare something for this little guy. I'll be back on his 100th birthday. Goodbye."
After saying that, the old man floated away with the long streamer in his hand. When Lei Budong and his two grandsons chased after him to the door, he had already disappeared. Only the old man's Taoist song could be heard from afar. "All the heavens are peaceful, my Taoist sun is prosperous …"
"This old man really knows how to act tough!"
Du Kang curled his lips in his heart. He felt that the old man's acting tough was so fresh and refined that it could be called a stream of fresh air in the world of acting tough.
Spring passed and autumn came. The persimmons on the branches turned orange and the leaves withered. The small courtyard of Lei Budong's house was full of joy. It was decorated with lanterns and streamers. The villagers came to congratulate Lei Tong on his 100th birthday.
"Old Chief, your fat grandson is very good-looking. Come on, let me have a look at him …" An old farmer with a rough appearance and graying sideburns, who was dressed in coarse cloth trousers, smiled and reached out to tease the little thunder boy in Lei Budong's arms. The little thunder boy held one of the old man's fingers with his little hands and sprayed a stream of urine accurately on the old man's face.
Du Kang snickered in his heart. "Hehe, how can you look at my little brother? Humph, I pee."
Fortunately, Du Kang could not speak. Otherwise, he would definitely curse loudly. Why did he come here for no reason? What was this place?
"Pfft, good boy. When you grow up, you will definitely have many children and grandchildren. Hahaha …" The old man was not angry. He reached out to wipe away the pee on his face and pointed at the tip of Little Lei Tong's nose. Then, he laughed and walked into the courtyard with Lei Budong.
"Hey, Brother Lei, where is my precious disciple?
Come on, come on, see what good things I have brought back for him. "
Just as the villagers were celebrating happily, Zhang Yexian, who was unkempt and had two strands of straw in his hair, suddenly appeared on the scene. Ignoring the pointing and gossiping of the people around him, he covered his mouth and laughed secretly, saying where did this madman come from? Then he directly grabbed Lei Budong and carried Little Lei Tong to the backyard.
"Come on, put it on." Zhang Yexian carefully took out a small jade pendant from his bosom and put it on Little Lei Tong. It was strange that Little Lei Tong liked Zhang Yexian very much. When he saw this cheap master, he kept giggling.
It was not that Du Kang liked the sloppy old man, but the child named Lei Tong. This also made Du Kang feel very strange. From the beginning, he was like a bystander until he was caught by Lei Budong and brought into this child's body.
"Does this child have self-awareness? Then, am I time-traveling or am I going to possess him?
Well … I must have read too many fantasy novels. Possession, haha … "
While Du Kang was indulging in flights of fancy, the banquet outside was still going on.
"Sir, what is this?"
Lei Budong touched the jade pendant on Little Lei Tong's chest. It was just a bluestone jade of poor quality with a Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Tai Chi Diagram strung with a red string.
"I caught an old bull in the mountains that was about to become a demon. I used its blood essence and the birth date of this boy to refine it. As long as you wear this jade, you will have the strength of one bull. Moreover, ordinary evil spirits will not be able to get close to it." Zhang Yexian said proudly and touched his right eyebrow inadvertently.
