章 3: Weird world: Studying scriptures

The moment, he turned his head, in the sky further away, he could see a huge golden palm just like the one recorded in the novels in his past life.

The palm seemed to be heading further off in the distance at an alarming speed before it was dissected into two. This made the gloomy world seem to have been stirred, dispelling some of the gloom nature, but it soon returned to normal.

In the further distance, someone seemed to be scolding, "You bald donkeys from Sinkong Temple don't want to chant scriptures anymore and get involved in worldly affairs."

Another sound came like a breeze making people refreshed, " Donor, has already abandoned humanity. Why not let his poor monk relieve your burdens."

"Bullshit!" Roared the man, and wanted to slash again when some Sankskit sounds descended with a unique character, carrying massive power.

"Amitabha!" The sound of the monk was heard before things returned to silence, but Situ's heart was set on huge waves.

"This is..." Yes, this is just like the scenes he experienced before dying, but this scene is a small play. But it did not deter the fiery look in his eyes, he can imagine an attack like that of that person leveling down celestial bodies in its path.

It has to start somewhere and the fact that the old man pulled him from Earth, resulting in his death, was no longer important, his attachments to that place were negligible.

For the first time, he experienced the love of a family, so he was here to stay, and looking into the distance, he seemed to have even more reason to like this place.

But he managed to discover that almost all the children in the vicinity were being watched by their parents, with some reluctance as though something was targetting them.

The confrontation did not stop as the parties involved seemed high up in the sky, and kept moving further and further, but when his mother picked him up from where he was pretending to play with mud like the children his age, he could see that she was not scared but a little flustered.

'This situation does not seem that abnormal, and the way 'mom' in this life just reacted implies this happens occasionally. Thankfully she seems more intelligent and did not rush into the house, but anyway, these actions by those strong men could cause loss of life. Or it is even happening at this moment.'

Thinking about it, he seemed to have some understanding of the fact that he lived in a dangerous world. Perhaps one day, it would be his death even when asleep, but there was nothing he could do at all.

4 years later.

In the morning.

"Young master Situ, wake up!" At this moment, a little girl in plain clothes was shaking Situ, forcing him out of his sleep.

"Xiaohe! Why are you always aggressive? Who is going to marry you if you act this way in the future? Women should be cultured you know!"

This little girl was a servant that the family got for Situ, and it was normal for people to have servants especially since his father was not that badly off. But he was not sure what that old man does for a living.

But for some reason, after he reached his second year, after he learned to read, he thought he would get some praise, but the old man gave him some scriptures that he had to memorize every day, and in the beginning, he thought it was just a few pages and he could just be finished but after starting, he barely remembered the complete page.

When he completed it although he saw some surprise hidden in his old man's eyes, he got the second then the third, until now he was still studying them and thankfully with his photographic memory, he could do this with half the effort.

When the old man seemed to even bring out some old ones that seemed close to flying away as dust, he had already started to suspect these scriptures were valuable.

As someone with some awareness of the dangers in this world, he decided to work hard and oftentimes just pretends he was struggling a little, and a little lazy too.

But what he did not know was that the scripture he had finished yesterday to memorize was unique, even his old man seemed to have taken longer to do that, and that is in years.

At this moment, the husband and wife were discussing, in their room.

"Muer, our son is not normal. I gave him the half page of desolation scripture and he has managed to memorize it within half a year, and he probably was not being serious about it. Not only that, the other scriptures he has grasped even geniuses in that place cannot match this speed." As the old man Fengxian spoke he found that his wife was not bothered at all.

"Why! Isn't normal for our son to be the best?" she asked as though the old man was wrong in saying this.

"Forget it, we will have to observe how he develops after reaching 12 years old. At that time, we can decide which course of action is best for him, but it will also be the time he will have to take care of himself." The two seemed to have no choice on this issue, and one could see some sadness in their eyes.

"Muer, I failed you!" Fengxian said, but his wife shook her head, "We did what we thought was for the best, and now that we have our son it is enough. since you have confirmed that he is capable, we can find other means to help him in the future. As for stopping the event, it is impossible. It is in fact for his own good to be able to escape this hole."

"I see." Replied Fengxian with his right hand tightly holding onto some jade bead, on a string, resembling a necklace. No one knew what he was thinking.

*****

"Young master, wake up or master will come himself at the time, he will punish you to make copies of all the scriptures you have ever read." Hearing this, Wang instantly woke up. His old man was indeed capable of doing that, but at that moment he would end up paying for his laziness.

"By the way Xiaohe when did you learn to threaten people, even this young master does not seem to escape from your palms."
