As the Universe Turns - Chapter 107

Chapter 107 Life Experience
A few days later, the night breeze was clear and clear. At midnight, a gust of cold wind blew into the room. Xiao Chen suddenly woke up from his nightmare. His entire body was covered in cold sweat, and even the sheets and bedding were soaked. When Shen Jing heard the noise, she quickly walked in. “What’s wrong?”

“I… I had a nightmare.”

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s face was still deathly pale as if he had lost his soul. Shen Jing slowly sat down beside the bed and gently pressed on his shoulder. She said softly, “Don’t worry, Miss Wei Yang, she will be fine …”

“No, it’s not …”

Xiao Chen shook his head. It was his nightmare when he was young. Blood flowed into the river in his dream, and corpses piled up all over the ground. His hands were stained with blood. Was that really him?

When Shen Jing saw that he was still in a daze, she said, “It’s fine. Go to sleep.” As he spoke, he helped him lie down. Xiao Chen grabbed her hand and shook his head, “I can’t sleep. Sister Shen Jing, accompany me out for a walk.”

“Yes.”

Shen Jing nodded slightly and slowly helped him up. The two of them went outside. The breeze blew and the moonlight was like water.

When he arrived at a small cliff, Xiao Chen sat silent. His mind was still filled with the nightmare he had just had. The dream was too real. Even now, he was still shocked.

After a long time, she finally heard him say, “Sister Shen Jing, did Ah Niang ever tell you about my background?”

Shen Jing looked at him. She didn’t know if she should tell him at this moment, but even if she didn’t tell him now, she would still know when he went out in the future. She said, “There is a village several dozen kilometers away from Ning Village, called Gu Village. Twenty years ago, all the villagers of Gu Village died unexpectedly overnight. Only a baby who just had a full moon survived …”

Xiao Chen’s entire body trembled, “You mean …”

“Mm …”

Shen Jing sighed softly and continued, “Later, that baby was saved by Fairy Miaoyin. Later, Fairy Miaoyin gave the baby to Ning Village of Wu Niang to raise and named him Xiao Yichen …”

“Master …”

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s entire body trembled. No wonder, no wonder, it turned out to be Master … Back then, when he jumped off the Immortal Burial Cliff, Master, she … she …

Shen Jing took a deep breath and continued, “I heard all of this the last time I went out. It was your master’s senior sister that day. She said it with her eyebrows crossed. I don’t think there’s anything fake about it.”

“Ancient Village … Master …”

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt his heart go numb. What kind of place was the Ancient Village? Master had never mentioned it to him. So it turned out that he, he …

“Ah!”

He covered his head with both hands and his eyes were red. He didn’t want to think about it, but the more he thought about it, the clearer it became. It was the nightmare, the nightmare of blood flowing into the river. The ancient village, the ancient village … his own background … his parents … ah!

“Xiao Chen, calm down!”

Shen Jing held him down and shook her head, “Don’t think about it anymore. It’s all over. That matter is complicated and confusing. It’s as if the murderer has never been to this world in the future. Even the Xuanqing Sect can’t find out who did it …”

“If I don’t think about it … why don’t I think about it …”

Xiao Chen’s eyes turned red as he shook his head, “Every night, I dream of blood flowing into a river. I dream of my own hands stained with blood and corpses under my feet. I dream that I killed them myself … I … No, I want to go back to the Ancient Village, I want to go there and take a look!”

“No!”

“Xiao Chen, why don’t you think about it carefully? How could an ordinary village in the ancient village be annihilated for no reason? Yet you survived? Why didn’t you think that the murderer might be coming for you?” Shen Jing’s expression turned very serious.

“They’re coming for me …”

Xiao Chen gradually calmed down. Shen Jing continued, “That’s right, if the murderer really came for you, “Then more than twenty years ago, he must have thought that you were dead, because no one knew about Fairy Miaoyin saving you. But now, it’s different. His eyebrows were also dazzled that day, and he actually told everyone about this matter. Now that everyone in the world knows your identity, the murderer must also know …”

At this point, Shen Jing paused for a moment and continued, “Now that Ling Yin is not by your side, it would be easy for that person to kill you. Fortunately, everyone thinks that you are dead now, and no one knows where you are. If you walk out like this now, once that person catches your eye …”

“Come on! I’m not afraid! He slaughtered my entire village and killed my parents. Even if he doesn’t come looking for me, I will definitely go look for him!”

“Xiao Chen! Calm down! After experiencing so much, don’t you … don’t you understand that in this world, you don’t have the strength and can only be trampled upon by others …”

As she spoke, Shen Jing’s eyes gradually reddened. She couldn’t help but think of herself. That night, she just watched like that. That person slashed off Master’s head with a sword. How could she take revenge for this?

“It’s fine, it’s fine …”

Shen Jing’s voice choked. She hugged him gently and sniffed, “Your biological parents might not be from the ancient village. Why don’t you think about it? If they were just ordinary villagers of the ancient village, why would they attract the disaster of annihilating the village?”

“Is that so …”

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt both physically and mentally exhausted. The matter of the previous moment was not over yet, and now he had suddenly heard about the matter of the Ancient Village. Who exactly was he …

“Sleep well. When you wake up tomorrow, everything will be fine …”

Shen Jing gently brushed her palm against his face. A medicinal fragrance entered her nose, and Xiao Chen fainted on her shoulder and fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, Shen Jing had already prepared a medicinal bath in the room. Xiao Chen felt quite guilty when he saw that she was preparing it for him so early and that he was still so hysterical last night. He said, “Sister Shen Jing, you’re up so early.”

“Yes.”

Shen Jing nodded slightly and put some medicinal ingredients into the wooden bucket. She said, “You go in and sit for a while. I’ll give you an acupuncture later to completely recover your injuries as soon as possible. It might hurt a little. Just endure it for a while.” After saying that, he went out of the room.

Xiao Chen stood up and walked towards the tub. He took off his clothes. As expected, as soon as he entered the water, he felt bursts of needle-like pain all over his body. He no longer had any cultivation, so he could only clench his teeth and hold on.

After about half an incense stick of time, the pain gradually lessened. At this moment, in his mind, he couldn’t help but recall what happened last night. Gu Village, his own background, he still decided to go back and take a look. However, now that he didn’t have a body full of cultivation, what should he do? If he really encountered that murderer, it would be as Shen Jing had said. It would be as easy as turning his palm if the other party wanted to kill him.

“Dong, dong, dong.”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Chen took out a towel and put it in the water, saying, “Sister Shen Jing, come in.”

Shen Jing pushed open the door and walked in. There was a needle box in her hand that contained dozens of silver needles of all sizes. Xiao Chen thought to himself that her current medical skills were excellent enough to be called a “medical immortal”. However, her cultivation techniques seemed to be different from those of various sects in the Immortal Origin Ancient Land. He did not know what kind of cultivation technique she was cultivating.

“Oh right, Sister Shen Jing, why haven’t you told me where your previous sect was? How come I’ve never heard of a sect so proficient in medicine in the Immortal Origin Ancient Land?”
