The Three Spirit Stones

Time flies, Ah Cai is 14 years old now, she is in the third grade of junior high school in the town.

During her growth, Cheng Yu gave her meticulous care, and she also injected fresh strength into his dry life.

It's warm and happy for two people to depend on each other!

But sometimes, it seems that God is reluctant to give even this little bit of happiness to mortals.

One day, Ah Cai was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night. When she opened her eyes, she was almost frightened to death.

The moonlight was bright that day, and I saw a tall man standing by the window, with a pointed nose and mouth, and long red hair.

The man said to the door with a wicked grin, "Hehehe, you've lived a very comfortable life these past few decades! But it's hard for me to find you, is that your woman in there?

"Would she be scared if she knew your true face?"

"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting,"

"Don't be afraid, Acai, Dad is here,"

It was Cheng Yu's voice.

Ah Cai covered her mouth and looked over with horrified eyes. She saw her father standing opposite the man and gritting his teeth and saying, "Isn't it enough to chase me for two hundred years? You are going too far."

"Hehehe, you are the one who is bullying the devil too much. You are the only one who is to blame for this. Hahaha~,"

The strange man laughed wildly and arrogantly.

"Take your life,"

Cheng Yu suddenly jumped up and punched the strange man.

"court death,"

The man punched him as well.

But Cheng Yu made a feint, then suddenly flipped over in mid-air and rushed to the bedside, picked up Ah Cai and jumped out of the window.

"Ah, ah, damn boy,"

The strange man was so angry that he screamed and jumped out of the window to chase after him.

Ah Cai closed her eyes tightly as Cheng Yu carried her and ran away. She could only hear the sound of the wind whistling in her ears, which made her face hurt.

Her mind was a mess now, and she could hardly tell whether it was a dream or reality?

After running for a while, Cheng Yu hid her behind a big rock and whispered, "Don't come out no matter what sound you hear."

After saying this, he jumped up and disappeared in an instant.

"dad……,"

Ah Cai opened her mouth in surprise.

Soon, there were bursts of fighting sounds coming from the distance, accompanied by the sound of trees breaking and shouting. The sounds were erratic, sometimes far away and sometimes close.

She was so frightened that she hid behind a rock and shivered.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound gradually stopped and the surroundings finally returned to silence. She couldn't help but stick her head out and cried out softly with a trembling voice.

"Dad~"

No one responded,

"Dad~ where are you? I'm scared, woo woo..."

"Color~"

At this moment, a very faint voice came from a distance.

"Dad~,"

Ah Cai ran towards that direction in surprise and saw a person lying on the ground from a distance. There were many broken trees around, which showed how fierce the fighting scene was!

When she ran closer and took a look, her mind buzzed and she could not believe her eyes!

Under the moonlight, Cheng Yu was lying on the ground like a rag doll.

His clothes were tattered, his body was covered with wounds and his flesh was turned inside out. White bones could be seen in many places. The worst thing was that there were several fist-sized holes on his body, and through the torn flesh and bones, he could see the ground he was lying on.

But the strange thing was that no blood came out of him, just like a piece of old bacon that had been hurt and riddled with holes.

His appearance frightened Ah Cai, and she knelt beside Cheng Yu and burst into tears.

"Dad, why did you become like this? Woo woo,"

"Don't... cry," Cheng Yu said with difficulty, "I didn't mean to lie to you. I lied to you because I was afraid you would be scared..."

"I'm just a... ghost,"

"Thank you for allowing me to finally... live like a human being,"

After saying this, he closed his eyes and waited for death to come.

He thought back on his life; it had been long enough and tiring enough!

For nearly a thousand years, they have been living in desperate struggle, wandering from place to place, killing people and being hunted by others, just to survive.

Apart from the warm maternal love he had in his childhood, what he missed most was the more than ten years of adopting Acai!

Although I was worried about leaving her alone, what else could I do?

There is nothing I can do, it's all over!

Perhaps, this is how life will be!

……

A Cai was heartbroken looking at Cheng Yu who was almost torn apart!

She didn't care whether he was a human or a ghost, she only knew that this was her father, her only relative.

She asked with tears in her eyes, "Dad, tell me how can I save you?"

At this time, the sound of roosters crowing came from afar.

“…It’s too late.”

"It's dawn, the sun is shining..."

"It's gone like smoke..."

Cheng Yu said these words with difficulty and could not say any more!

Ah Cai understood. She was stunned. He was fine last night. How could he suddenly become like this? This was her only relative!

No, you can't.

He can't die~

Her heart was roaring!

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she leaned over to Cheng Yu's ear and asked, "Dad, will you be okay if the sun doesn't shine on you?"

"……Um,"

Cheng Yu responded weakly.

When Ah Cai heard this, she immediately stood up, looked around, and ran out. After a while, she came back with a large branch in her hand and a bunch of branches as thick as her wrist.

After putting down his things, he took off his pajamas, leaving only a small vest underneath.

She tore her pajamas into strips, placed the branches she had picked up across the branches, and tied the two ends tightly with strips of cloth.

Once all the branches were tied together, a simple stretcher bed was ready.

Then he took off his pajamas, twisted them into a hemp rope, and tied it around the front of the branch.

After doing all this, she dragged the branch to Cheng Yu's side, used all her strength to move him onto the branch, and then used the remaining cloth strips to secure him to the branch like a seat belt.

Then she ran to the front, put her shoulders through the rope made of pajamas, and pulled up the branch like a boatman.

Although it was very strenuous, I really pulled it!

"Dad, do you remember? ...There's a small cave nearby?"

"I hid you in a cave!"

Cheng Yu was lying on a tree branch. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the thin figure in front of him, barefoot, crawling forward as if risking his life, falling down and getting up again, falling down and getting up again.

He felt both distressed and touched!

This child has been spoiled by him like a princess since she was young. She has everything she wants, and her temper is spoiled and willful.

Now, when he was in a life-and-death crisis, he never expected that she would be able to save him.

But surprisingly, she came up with a solution!

As soon as the cock crowed, the sun would soon come out. Now that his inner energy had been completely depleted, he was completely unable to protect himself. As long as the sun shone on him, he would be burned into a charred corpse in an instant.

This place is at least several miles away from home, and there is no one around. How can I, a grown man of over 1.80 meters tall, and Ah Cai, who is so thin and weak, move it?

Fortunately, she was able to think of this solution in a short time. Perhaps, there really is a glimmer of hope!

……

When the sky in the east turned pale, Ah Cai finally dragged Cheng Yu into the cave.

Fortunately, the road is not very far, otherwise this small body may not be able to hold on.

She sat on the ground and took a few deep breaths. She struggled to move Cheng Yu down from the branch, then dragged the branch out and stood it up to block the entrance of the cave.

This cave is half a person's height and the space inside is very small, but it is enough for hiding.

Then, she rushed to the weeds nearby and pulled them out desperately. After pulling out a bunch of weeds, she tied them up and placed them on the branch at the entrance of the cave.

When the first ray of sunlight shone down, the cave entrance was already full of weeds. She panted and asked through the weeds, "Dad...are you okay?"

After a long while, she heard Cheng Yu's faint "hmm", and she finally felt relieved.

Although her body was covered with wounds from being scratched by branches and weeds, she felt that it would be safer to pull out more grass.

By noon, the grass at the entrance of the cave had become a thick pile, and it must be pitch black inside.

During this period, she would call Cheng Yu every once in a while, and would not leave until she got a response. It was not until he said that she felt much better that Ah Cai finally felt relieved.

As soon as she relaxed, fatigue came over her and she fell down on the grass pile at the entrance of the cave and soon fell asleep.

Cheng Yu, who was hiding in the cave, watched the cave entrance fill up little by little until it became pitch black inside.

At this time, he felt relieved, knowing that his life was no longer in danger for the time being.

In fact, if he had been alone at that time, he would definitely have been able to escape, but he absolutely could not accept leaving Acai behind.

The man was a fox demon who had only practiced for nearly two thousand years. He accidentally met Cheng Yu two hundred years ago and immediately wanted to take the Yuan Ling Qi in Cheng Yu's body for himself. For this reason, he did not hesitate to hunt him down for two hundred years.

But he could not have imagined that in just a few decades, Cheng Yu's skills had improved so rapidly.

From being beaten by him to the point where he had no way to resist and had to flee in a panic to now being evenly matched with him.

Cheng Yu was determined to die together from the beginning, so this old fox demon was seriously injured by him, and it is estimated that his life is hanging by a thread now!

With peace of mind, he began to heal his wounds.

He mobilized the last bit of Yuanling Qi in Dantian, from Qihai to Yinjiao to Shenque, and all the way to the meridians and acupuncture points throughout the body.

After a short week, he was very surprised!

After that trace of true qi circulated around and returned to the sea of ​​qi, his spiritual power seemed to be much stronger. He supported his body and was able to sit up and cross-legged in meditation.

One small Zhoutian, another small Zhoutian,

The Yuanling true energy circulates in his body endlessly!

……

As night fell, the temperature began to drop, and Ah Cai woke up from the cold.

She opened her confused eyes and was at a loss for a moment. Suddenly she thought of Cheng Yu and jumped up in fright. The cave entrance was still covered with grass. She pulled away the grass and asked nervously, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

But there was no response from inside. She was very nervous and pushed the branch away with all her strength.

When I saw it, I was so shocked that I almost stopped breathing!

Cheng Yu was seen sitting cross-legged inside, his whole body glowing and transparent, like a crystal statue.

Oh my god! What's going on?

A Cai was stunned!

At this time, the moonlight shone into the cave, and the light emitted by Cheng Yu's body and the moonlight reflected each other, and the entire cave was illuminated like daylight!

When the light from his body gradually became brighter than the moonlight, he actually began to slowly float up.

Ah Cai was very scared and thought, what if he flew higher and higher?

She didn't think any more and instinctively reached out and grabbed his arm.

At this moment, Cheng Yu seemed to have turned into a big magnet, sucking Ah Cai tightly to his body. Before she could even scream, she fainted.
