Bab 3: Learn from a master
"Please... gods... help... me!"
Amidst the dimly lit forest, a headless weasel suddenly straightened its body, and with a gurgling sound in its throat, uttered an obscure and inscrutable sound.
But to Ye Tian's ears, it was excruciatingly harsh, causing his eardrums to vibrate and buzz.
The slime creature in front of the weasel's remains changed its expression drastically, with its three eyes' pupils narrowing sharply!
One of its tentacles extended from the slime, grabbing the celestial blue sword and slashing directly towards the weasel, which was now only half a body!
Bang!
Just then, the weasel's body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist!
With the explosion of the blood mist, a mysterious aura enveloped the entire forest!
An extremely terrifying feeling arose from Ye Tian's heart!
The entire sky darkened, and a shadowy figure emerged from the void, tearing apart the canopy above.
The silhouette was strangely shaped, shrouded in a thick layer of mist, making it impossible to discern what kind of creature it was.
Absolute horror!
But at this moment, Ye Tian's head ached intensely, and his vision became unprecedentedly clear, revealing the creature's appearance.
The creature had a sheep's body with a human face, and four human hands grew in place of its limbs, with a pair of eyes peering out from under its arms, staring eerily at Ye Tian on the ground.
As if sensing Ye Tian's gaze, the weird creature glanced meaningfully at Ye Tian from under its arms.
In the instant their eyes met, Ye Tian's eyes burned with intense pain, as if on fire, and bright red blood flowed out of his eye sockets!
The weird creature opened its mouth wide and bit down towards Ye Tian!
The enormous shadow descended from the sky, getting closer and closer to Ye Tian, occupying his entire field of vision!
Ye Tian's body was instantly immobilized by some mysterious force, leaving him with a creepy sensation and a sense of imminent danger.
"Stop harming people!"
Just then, the slime creature stood in front of Ye Tian, its body glowing with a bright aura!
In the blink of an eye, the head of the slime creature in front of Ye Tian exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist!
But its body also emitted an unprecedented brightness, piercing the sky!
The dark clouds dispersed, revealing a clear sky.
The bright moonlight once again shone down on the earth.
Looking at the headless slime creature, Ye Tian felt a sense of unreality.
Dead?
In just a blink of an eye, both the weasel spirit and the slime creature in front of him were dead.
Witnessing this scene, Ye Tian experienced mixed feelings.
Although the slime creature had died, it had sacrificed itself to protect him.
Perhaps what he saw wasn't real, and the people of Bull Head Village were right. He was just hallucinating.
Just then, the flesh at the neck of the slime creature suddenly began to twitch, and a new head slowly emerged from the flesh!
Seeing this, Ye Tian's scalp tingled.
Could it still be alive?
Instantly, Ye Tian subconsciously wanted to flee.
But the monster seemed to have targeted Ye Tian, quickly moving its eight legs to reach Ye Tian's side. Two long tentacles emerged from the slime, tying up his hands!
Just then, Ye Tian's headache subsided, and his vision blurred, revealing Chen Su in a purple robe holding Ye Tian's hands. He was covered in injuries, with blood on the corner of his mouth and his hair disheveled, but he looked at Ye Tian with concern.
"Young friend, how are you?"
"Are you injured?"
Looking at Chen Su returning to normal, Ye Tian couldn't help but be taken aback, frozen in place.
Chen Su, in such a state, was still worried about him. Why had he imagined him as a monster?
Could such a righteous and selfless Taoist priest possibly be a monster?
Could there be such a kind-hearted monster?
It must be because of his headache that he mistook people for monsters!
For a moment, Ye Tian was filled with guilt.
He looked at Chen Su with concern and nodded vigorously.
"Thank you, Taoist priest, for saving me. I'm fine."
"That's good, that's good."
Chen Su turned around and put the celestial blue sword back on his back, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Seeing Chen Su's expression, Ye Tian forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and shifted his gaze towards Chen Su.
"By the way, Taoist priest, weren't you recruiting disciples in our Bull Head Mountain? Why did you come down?"
Chen Su shook his head and looked intently at Ye Tian.
"Earlier in Bull Head Mountain, I recognized at a glance that you possess an Immaculate Immortal Body, which has a deep connection with my Taoist path. Unfortunately, you misunderstood me deeply at that time, and I had to deal with the villagers first, thinking of finding you later."
"I didn't expect you to leave the village directly, and I couldn't find you for half a day, wandering around the area before finally seeing you being entangled by the spirit."
"That spirit knows the art of summoning gods. If I hadn't used a substitute doll, both of us would have died here today!"
"Spirit?"
Listening to Chen Su's words, Ye Tian couldn't help but frown slightly.
Did people in this world call spirits and monsters "spirits" as well?
However, he quickly noticed something different in Chen Su's words.
"Immaculate Immortal Body?"
"You mean I have an Immaculate Immortal Body?"
"That's right!"
Chen Su looked excitedly at Ye Tian.
"The Immaculate Immortal Body is a rare and precious Taoist body that only appears once in ten thousand years. Although its state of mind is different from ordinary people, its Taoist cultivation can progress by leaps and bounds, carrying immense fortune!"
"That spirit must have recognized your uniqueness, which is why it sought enlightenment from you!"
Looking at the unprecedented excitement in Chen Su's eyes, Ye Tian felt a strange sensation arise in his heart.
But he couldn't pinpoint what was strange about it.
Just then, Chen Su looked sincerely at Ye Tian.
"Young friend, would you be willing to become my disciple and follow me to cultivate on Mount Qingcheng?"
Looking at Chen Su's genuinely sincere expression, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel hesitant.
Although Chen Su had saved him, the scene of him turning into a terrifying monster was still fresh in his mind. To say he had no doubts would be impossible.
However, if he refused Chen Su and the latter had ulterior motives, there was no way he could escape.
The only choice left in front of him was to accept Chen Su's offer.
Ye Tian took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Chen Su.
"Since you have shown me such kindness, I humbly accept your offer!"
Who cares about the rest! Just go with the flow!
As for the fate of the villagers in Bull Head Village, it was no longer his concern.
Seeing Ye Tian's actions, Chen Su, with disheveled hair, revealed a pleased expression and laughed heartily.
"Since you've already accepted, why do you still call me 'Taoist priest'?"
Listening to Chen Su's prompt, Ye Tian hesitated for a moment before bowing again.
"teacher, please accept my bow!"
"Disciple, please rise!"
Under the moonlight, the shadows of the two men intertwined, presenting a harmonious sight.
