Chapter 12: Taoist Immortal
Shangcheng is a developed city in the north. Many big companies are stationed in this city that never sleeps, creating a life of extravagance and decadence. When you step into Shangcheng, you can almost smell the scent of money. All the people in the city seem to be living in an ideal world, wearing white-collar suits during the day and indulging in gowns at night.
And now, in a cheap rental house in the upper city.
The fan was creaking as it turned, and the mouse was moving back and forth , picking up a bag of potato chips and snacks, and taking away a half-eaten duck neck.
Sun Che was squeezed into a narrow chair, his fat body weighing down the chair, making it shaky. He was sweating profusely, but his small eyes were moving rapidly, looking at the screen with hope.
At this moment, on an unknown website, a highly popular post was being rapidly discussed by everyone——
[Strange, really strange! I saw someone floating on the side of the road last night, hanging in the air!]
"That's nothing. I saw my neighbor walk through a wall yesterday. I thought I was seeing things, but when I saw his evasive look, I started to doubt whether it was really something."
"My colleague seems to have a ghost too. His reflexes have improved a lot! One time I dropped something and he caught it with a snap."
"You guys think...it's not really like what's written in novels, that some people have awakened superpowers, right?"
The light from the screen illuminated Sun Che's small eyes. Sun Che wiped the grease off his head, moved his fat body a little, and scratched it.
Immediately, a line of words was typed in the reply column of this post:
"Brothers, I feel the same way. It feels like someone suddenly becomes... a different person."
"Here's the thing. I'm a security guard. I have a friend who joined the company at the same time. He used to be just as carefree as me, but these past few days, I've noticed something's different about him."
"At first I just thought he looked at me with contempt, but he said it wasn't true, so I didn't think much of it."
"But later on, the contempt in his eyes grew stronger and stronger. He looked at me... like an ant."
"His attitude became increasingly distant and arrogant. I thought he looked down on me because he had become successful."
"But things are much more complicated than I thought."
While editing, Sun Che recalled the magical scene in his mind.
"One day when I was taking over from him, I returned to the dormitory early, but I found him meditating."
"Sitting on the bed, breathing in and out, I don't know if it's my eyesight, but it seems like there are some stars twinkling."
"I rubbed my eyes, trying to get a closer look, but the next moment, he suddenly appeared in front of me and angrily told me what I was peeking at!!"
"Of course I don't accept it. We're all in the same dormitory, so how can there be any question of whether or not to peek?"
"But he took it very seriously, and he moved out the next day."
"As the days go by, his physical fitness is getting better and better. Climbing a flight of stairs used to be tiring, but now he can patrol without even breathing hard."
"What I can't forget the most is the scene where, in the blink of an eye, the face appeared in front of me... It was like traveling through time."
"Who can appear from the second-floor bunk to the window in the blink of an eye?"
"I doubt……"
At this point in the post, only the last sentence was left before it could be sent out, but in the end, Sun Che deleted all the text and closed the page.
Li Dajie understood that secrets could not be kept secret at all, and there must be something fishy about this matter!
Could it be that there really is such a thing as cultivation, just like in novels?
Qi sinks into Dantian, and one attains enlightenment and ascends to immortality...
Thinking of this, Sun Che felt his genes pulsing. If he could truly become a superman, who would want to be an ordinary person? Who would want to squeeze into this tiny house?!
no……
This won't work.
…
…
One day later.
As night fell, Sun Che sneaked into Li Dajie's residential complex and waited at the gate. Then, Li Dajie walked out of the community wearing a security uniform.
In Sun Che's eyes, although Li Dajie was still wearing a security uniform, he seemed to be a different person.
His body seemed to have become much lighter, and his face had changed from being decadent to becoming more vigorous and energetic. His body had become much thinner and more angular, but what made Sun Che most jealous was the starlight on his body, lingering around him and passing through his pores!
What is this!
Sun Che rubbed his eyes again, wanting to see more clearly, but someone happened to pass by Li Dajie, and the starlight disappeared instantly.
Although Li Dajie now looks like an ordinary person, in Sun Che's eyes, Li Dajie has completely transformed! The starlight on him must be immortal! It cannot be displayed in front of ordinary people.
He must be cultivating immortality!
Sun Che breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't calm down his inner excitement at all.
Seeing that Li Dajie had completely disappeared from his sight, Sun Che immediately bypassed the security guard's sight and ran towards the community.
After some indirect inquiries, Sun Che finally figured out the address of Li Dajie's home. He rushed to the door of the rental house and after searching for a while, he found the key under the carpet.
Fortunately, he had the key, and it was in such a conspicuous place, otherwise Sun Che would have had to climb through the window or scale the wall. But Sun Che hadn't become an immortal yet, so he wasn't that powerful!
He hurriedly opened the door. Although Sun Che had more than enough time as he had to work an eight-hour shift, he still started searching immediately to be on the safe side.
There was nothing in the living room, but after entering the room, Sun Che was dumbfounded——
He couldn't even see a bed in the room, only a cushion and an altar with many burnt incense sticks in front of it. Red lights were installed on the edge of the altar, illuminating the statue in the middle.
The statue in the middle is not the common Buddha, but rather one I have never seen before. This ordinary-looking statue has one hand in front and one hand behind, one leg standing and the other raised, with its mouth wide open and eyes looking forward, giving a sense of detachment without desire or ambition.
Li Dajie doesn’t even need to sleep, and there’s no need to guess anymore, he must be practicing Taoism!
What about the secret book?
Sun Che swallowed his saliva and began to search the small room. There were not many things in the room to begin with. Soon, Sun Che discovered that there was a secret door in front of the altar. He opened the secret door and found a scripture with a blue cover. On the scripture were three words:
Taoist Immortal Scripture!
With just one glance, Sun Che was completely attracted by this technique. His breathing gradually became heavier, and he solemnly picked up the Taoist scripture!
"The Tao can be taught. Mortals and immortals can turn their hands to make clouds and turn their hands to make rain. They can achieve immortality. All of this is contained in one book."
It’s effortless!!
This kid Li Dajie was really eating alone, and now Sun Che finally found a way for him to become an immortal!
He no longer has to be a security guard earning only 3,500 yuan a month. In the future, beauties, money, and status will all be within his reach. As one of the first cultivators, he will definitely be ahead of those who come after him!
But Sun Che still has his sense.
If I rashly take the Daoxian Sutra away, Li Dajie will definitely find out and cause trouble.
Sun Che took out his cell phone and carefully took photos of every page of Taoist immortals. After checking it again, he put away his phone with a wicked smile.
I'm a genius! If I don't cultivate immortality, who will?
Sun Che thinks that he is countless times better than Li Dajie. Now that he is cultivating immortality, he must be much better than Li Dajie!
Sun Che completed the final work, put everything back in place, wiped off all traces of footprints and fingerprints, and finally confirmed the scene again.
Turning back, Sun Che looked at the statue on the altar with some confusion on his face.
The statue's eyes met Sun Che's gaze, and the eyes that showed no desire or expectation looked at Sun Che in a daze. The statue's outstretched hand was aimed directly at Sun Che, as if it wanted to catch him.
Shivering, Sun Che moved away from the direction his hand was pointing, muttering "How creepy".
He immediately left Li Dajie's home with rich spoils.
“Pah.”
The door was closed, and in the dim room only the red light from the altar illuminated the lonely statue.
As Sun Che left, a sudden sound rang out from the room.
"Sun."
The fixed statue moved slightly, wriggling a little bit, and the stone rubbed obscurely, like a snail. It would be impossible to notice it without careful observation, but if you looked at it for a long time, you would find that the statue's movements were constantly changing.
Its hands gradually closed from open, the statue's mouth was sometimes round and sometimes flat, its eyes gradually became brighter, and its body leaned forward, becoming more and more tilted.
"Che."
A sudden voice came out , word by word. The light in its eyes became brighter and brighter, even flashing with crystal light. His expression became bitter and collapsed.
"Help, help."
"I."
Save me, ah.
