Chapter 861 I'll Come and Pick You Up
Shen Zhinan tightly grasped the jade card in his hand, feeling the warmth and coolness coming from it, trying to calm himself down.
But his breathing could not stop becoming more and more excited and rapid, revealing his true emotions at the moment.
Shen Zhinan was both excited and nervous.
He was not stupid.
Anyone with a little more insight could feel that, whether it was true or not, the things here were actually not worth pondering.
The appearance of the man in white robe was too coincidental, and he could appear directly in his dream.

To put it another way, the nightmares he had one after another during this period might have been caused by the other party.
He showed up at the critical moment, making himself grateful to him, so that he could believe in him without a doubt.
Of course, Shen Zhinan's intuition told him that this possibility was very small.
First of all, he was a laborer who could hardly eat, but he was just stronger.
The other party was so elusive that he could appear and disappear in his dreams. This method was unheard of. There was no reason for him to have any crooked thoughts about a laborer like him. Even if he had crooked thoughts about him, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
Secondly, he was really smart.
When he was in private school as a child, he only needed one day to learn what others could learn in a month.
Although he was poor in literature and rich in martial arts, studying was also a very expensive thing. The apprenticeship fee, regular tuition, meal fee, and red envelopes or local specialties were required to express his feelings during the New Year and other festivals. These were not something he could afford at all.
Therefore, after only learning a few words, Shen Zhinan dropped out of school and went home. Later, he became a coolie at the dock. Fortunately, he had some strength and the money he earned was barely enough to make ends meet.
But Shen Zhinan knew very well in his heart that this kind of life could not be maintained for too long. Sooner or later, he would be old and weak. Moreover, why was a coolie a coolie? No matter how hard you worked, you could only barely make a living in the end.
Such a life is not what Shen Zhinan wants at all.
When he was young, Shen Zhinan knew what he wanted and dared to fight for a way to change his fate. However, the world was like this and he could only be swept by the torrent. However, over the years, he has been constantly reminding himself that people should behave like people.
Although he was not well educated, it was not difficult to explain from the various miraculous situations last night and just now that the figure in white robe was probably far from what he could imagine.
Even the sacrificial spirits guarding a county could not match that kind of extraordinary intention.
Some of the geniuses in the tribe started to move blood at a young age.
He also took a medicinal bath when he was a child, but his own talent was too poor. He could not take the first step until he was twenty years old. He could not move blood, so he had to leave the town and find a way out.
At the moment, he seemed to have a better choice. Who would do hard labor if he had the ability? If it didn't work, he could go to a big family as a guard.
Moreover, the other party's tone just now was unquestionable, and it seemed that he would not care whether he would agree or not.
Even though the other party's tone was calm, he still needed to fight for his unborn child. He didn't want his child to work hard like him for the rest of his life.
"Zhi Nan... what are you doing?"
The woman looked at Shen Zhi Nan, who hadn't spoken or made any moves for a long time, and couldn't help asking.
"I may... have to go out..." Shen Zhi Nan looked at the woman and told the truth.
"Go out... where to?" The woman was a little confused.
"I don't know, but it should be far away. When I settle down there, I'll see if I can take you over, or take you directly over." Shen Zhi Nan shook his head and spoke again.
...
After returning to Liu Village.
Jiang Huai went to the underworld as soon as possible.
Three days passed in a flash for him.
He planned to wait here and see what the special ability he was talking about was.
Of course, he was not idle either.
He secretly took time to observe the actions of the Immortal King Lun Kong.
It's just that the Immortal King Lun Hui did not get enlightenment from the last reincarnation.
He had some enlightenment, but it was far from enough. Instead, as time passed, his clarity was about to disappear. He really became a mortal. Now he couldn't even remember that he was once the Immortal King of Samsara.
He had been through many hardships for half a year. He had many children and grandchildren. He was not rich, but he had enough food and drink.
But the older he got, the slimmer his chance of awakening became.
This was not the result Jiang Huai wanted to see.
Since soft tactics didn't work, he could only use force.
Originally, he hoped that the Immortal King of Samsara could understand it clearly by himself, and finally he could take charge of the Dao fruit and come back again. Now it was probably impossible. Fortunately, he could intervene, and the intervention would not affect the identity authentication of the token, but as for whether there were other effects, Jiang Huai was not sure.
After all, the situation of the Immortal King of Samsara and Shen Zhinan was different. If the latter did not take action, he would probably sink into the small hell in his dream forever.
By that time, the body will die, and the soul will not be found. The door to the small hell of reality will be completely opened, which will affect reality, and Jiang Huai will have to clean up a bigger mess.
…
In the bamboo hut.
The white-haired Samsara Immortal King was half lying on his back, lying sideways on the armchair under him.
The armchair was shaking, and the whole person looked quite comfortable.
Now, he is already sixty years old.
At sixty years old, he can be called a sixty-year-old.
For mortals, this age is actually considered an advanced age.
Although he did not accumulate a very wealthy family fortune in his life, he still had enough food and clothing. Logically speaking, he should be at the age to enjoy a comfortable life.
It's just that the Immortal King of Reincarnation always feels like he has forgotten something.
And those things should be important to you.
"Can't remember..."
The Immortal King of Samsara rubbed his forehead
The sky and the earth are no longer clear, and there is gray mist everywhere, floating in the air.
Immediately afterwards.
These floating mists seemed to be clamped by a pair of invisible hands, suddenly flowing rapidly.
At this moment, the Immortal King of Samsara stood on the other side of nothingness, surrounded by gorgeous and mysterious light and shadow, as if he had crossed the long river of time and space.
In front of his eyes, scenes overlapped like broken mirrors, each piece carrying a memory of the past. They slowly flowed in the void, weaving into magnificent historical pictures.
In the flood of memories, he seemed to see his former identity——
Not that unknown mountain villager, but the Immortal King of Reincarnation who towered over the Nine Heavens.
Fighting fiercely with kings of foreign lands, possessing the supreme power to control reincarnation and reverse life and death. Each reincarnation is to sharpen one's mind and accumulate strength, just to regain the long-lost power in this day and come back again.
"The true meaning of reincarnation...is to maintain the essence of the true self in reincarnation from life to life..."
The Immortal King of Reincarnation looked serious and muttered to himself.
The next moment, an extremely mysterious aura descended on the Samsara Immortal King, as if an invisible Milky Way poured down from the nine heavens, and the aura around him suddenly changed.
The whole person is exuding radiant light.
soon,
Such changes naturally woke up the heirs and concubines in this life for the first time.
Several people hurriedly ran out of the bamboo strip house and stared at the changes in the Samsara Immortal King. They all froze on the spot.
"Father, you...what's wrong?"
The eldest son choked to speak. It was really the power exuding from the Immortal King of Samsara at this moment that made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He did not dare to speak. However, because he was worried about the state of the Immortal King of Samsara, he had to suppress the fear in his heart and speak.
The Immortal King of Samsara lowered his eyes, and his gaze slowly swept over everyone from below, softening, but he did not speak.
Because at this moment, all his eyes were attracted to a certain token that appeared on his waist at some point.
There is information in the jade tablet.
When his consciousness touched it, a loud roaring sound immediately sounded in his mind.
…
Three days passed quickly.
This is true for mortals, let alone Jiang Huai, who is as still as time is.
He made arrangements in advance.
Of course, the so-called arrangement is to notify Old Man Lin of this.
Then let him arrange for a specific person to go to the lower realm to pick him up.
In the end, Tuwazi participated enthusiastically.
The lower realm is the place where he was born, and the constraints of heaven and earth on him will be minimal. After staying in the fairyland for such a long time, he really wants to go there.
In addition, it is also for relaxation.
In the past few days, the Ten-Crown King, Banished Immortal, and others often asked Shi Hao, Liu Shen, and others for advice on the experience of the Emperor Realm. After going back and forth, although the ready-made experience was not useful for the Emperor Realm, the two still had an epiphany. , all fell into seclusion.
He followed from beginning to end, but he never gained any insights related to the Imperial Realm.
This realm is still far away for me.
With his own talents and qualifications, it is an unexpected blessing to be able to reach the level of a supreme giant. The rest cannot be forced, so he can only let nature take its course.
Accompanying Tuwazi were Valkyrie and Shi Hao.
Valkyrie wanted to go down and see if Zhulu Academy was still there after so many years.
Shi Hao was just following Tuwazi to join in the fun.
There is Willow God, the Lord of Willow Village, and many of the talented peers in Willow Village who are qualified to spy on the emperor's path.
The burden on his shoulders was far less heavy than he imagined, so his whole body was not as heavy and felt much more relaxed.
Because of the Valkyrie, this time the three of them chose to go through the lower realm of the climbing ladder in the back mountain of Liucun.
The ladder to heaven, a rare item extracted by Jiang Huai when he was still in the lower world, has a terrible effect. Not only can you reach the upper world completely through this ladder, but the most heaven-defying thing is as long as you are a believer of Jiang Huai and your faith value reaches a certain level. , and those who complete the entire journey will have a certain probability of getting a chance.
This opportunity may come from blood, or it may come from magic, supernatural powers, or the like, but no matter which one it is, it has the ability to change one's destiny against the will of heaven.
The first avatar possesses nearly ten kinds of heaven-defying talents, all thanks to the ladder to heaven.
Although the ladder to heaven is the passage from the lower world to the upper world, it can be reflected in the village, so the three of them do not need to make a special trip to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Reaching the lower realm, the three of them went their separate ways.
Valkyrie went to the wilderness to find Zhulu Academy.
Tuwazi and Shi Hao went straight to Tianyu, looking for the person named Shen Zhinan.
"Brother Tu, do you know why Senior Liu asked us to find that person named Shen Zhinan?!"
On the way, Shi Hao couldn't help but ask.
When did Senior Liu make a special trip to the lower realm?
Could it be that the man named Shen Zhinan is some kind of genius?
But this isn’t right either.
There are so many geniuses in the village as there are crucian carp crossing the river, so why do we need someone to pick them up? !
There have been precedents like this before, but those were all done by Village Chief Lin at random, and most of the time he just asked two of the village's guards to go. This time, it was the first time that Tuwazi went down to the realm in person.
Tuwazi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
But he didn't bother to think about the reason.
After all, I took the initiative to ask for it this time.
The two chatted and laughed along the way. Although they were not in a hurry, their realm was here. Soon, a human city appeared in front of them.
Without alerting any of the soldiers guarding the city, the two entered the city directly and arrived at their destination.
In a cramped courtyard with black tiles and earthen walls.
Shen Zhinan felt uneasy.
Last night, he didn't sleep much the whole night. He kept waiting for dawn, which made the woman quite angry because the original after-dinner exercise was also cancelled.
However, the woman still prepared breakfast for Shen Zhinan early.
"Master, are you sure you didn't lie to me? Someone really came to pick you up today?"
The woman asked dubiously. At the same time, she peeled the boiled sweet potato and handed it to the man.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the rich people in the city were about to prepare for lunch, but no one showed up.
The woman had some doubts as to whether her man was suffering from hysteria due to nightmares.
Otherwise, why would you think that someone is coming to pick you up?
He also said that he was going to change his destiny...
This is clearly something that can only be said by a hysterical person.
Thinking of this, the woman couldn't help sneaking to the kitchen and wiping tears.
Hysteria is a serious disease these days. Where can you find the money to treat it?
Shen Zhinan is her god. Although she is a little poorer, she is really good to her. She would rather eat less than let herself eat more.
What would she do if she really got that disease?
While he was sobbing, he heard crisp and powerful knocking sounds from the door.
Someone knocks on the door...
Who could it be at this time?
Could it be Aunt Zhang?
If that were the case, he wouldn't be able to open the door.
In the past few days, the other party has been looking for me, trying to find a matchmaker for me, a married woman, and arrange a matchmaker with Wang Yuanwai from the east of the city.
I have known Zhinan for three years, and now that I am pregnant with her child, I must not do anything to regret Zhinan.
"Who is it?" the woman asked.
There was a strong knocking sound outside the door.
Tuwazi and Shi Hao did not need to open the door at all and could come in directly. However, Grandpa Lin said that this person was picked up by the adults by name, and the minimum etiquette must be followed.
The two of them didn't feel surprised when they heard a woman's voice coming from inside. After all, even if they didn't use any means, it was hard to say that this dilapidated house with black tiles and earthen walls could hide any secrets.
"On your orders, I came here to pick you up!"
Tuwazi put away his hand knocking on the door. asked loudly.
"ah……"
What followed was the sound of a wooden barrel filled with cold water falling to the ground.
At the same time, there was a rush of trotting, but because the courtyard was so cramped, there was also the sound of various debris being knocked down along the way.
Immediately afterwards,
The door opens.
Revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes.
Shen Zhinan pursed his lips and swallowed again. Then he became less nervous. He imitated those scholars and slightly raised his hands towards Tuwazi and Gu Chen to edit.
"You two, I have had a hard time waiting for you."
