Chapter 708: There Are True Immortals in the World — Ga Makes His Move (6/7, please subscribe)
Noon.
Baiyangdian.
A small figure stepped across the water's surface, his face full of exhilaration.
"Your buddy Ga is going to become an immortal!"
"Ha ha! I did it. With Brother Taixuan's help, those little devils are nothing to worry about!"
With a light tap on the water's surface, a fat carp of five or six jin immediately leapt out of the water, landing in his hand. Ga strung it together with reeds, carried it in his hand, and ran toward home.
Having grown up in the reed marshes since childhood, Ga was quite skilled at catching fish and shrimp — no worse than the fishermen who sold fish for a living.
Having stepped onto the path of the extraordinary, Ga's legs moved extremely fast; within a few minutes he could see his home.
If he weren't afraid of being too shocking to the world, he~ could even go faster.
From afar, Ga saw his grandmother busy at work, and could not help — his eyes reddening.
"Grandma!"
Ga dashed over and hugged his grandmother. "Grandma, I don't want you to — die!"
Grandma heard this and froze for a moment, her heart warming. She said, "Silly boy, isn't your grandma perfectly fine?"
"Mm." Zhang Ga nodded, a little embarrassed. "It's just that something happened earlier. Grandma, let's go inside and talk."
"Oh, Ga, you little kid — what secrets could you possibly have?" Grandma looked utterly speechless, but she was still pushed inside by Ga.
Once inside, Ga said with a mysterious look, "Grandma, I met an immortal!"
Grandma froze, then suddenly stretched out a hand and — slap! — smacked the top of Ga's head.
"Silly boy, you got tricked, didn't you?"
"Where in this world are there any immortals!"
Ga was taken aback: "But Grandma, don't you usually burn incense and worship Buddha too?"
Grandma's face was full of exasperation, a little frustrated that her grandson was not learning fast enough: "When I burn incense and worship Buddha, I'm seeking peace of mind, praying for blessings. If there really were immortals, how could they let the common people suffer so much!"
"But Grandma, the one I met is a real immortal!"
At a thought from Ga, he floated up directly.
Grandma had originally wanted to lecture Ga a little, to keep him from falling for a swindler's trick.
But when she saw Ga floating up, the whole person froze on the spot.
She circled around Ga once, and the whole person was not feeling well.
"There really are immortals?"
"Really!" Ga nodded. "Those immortals also said that you would die fighting the devils. Grandma, I don't want you to die."
Grandma froze: "I'm going to die?"
Regarding such things, she did not care too much.
She was already at a great age, and had lived long enough.
In this era, for common folk, living was truly hard.
Not only were there landlords and gentry exploiting them, but the devils were also squeezing them day after day. It could be said that every commoner had been wrung dry.
Only, she began to worry about Ga.
Ga was so young — if no one took care of him, what would become of him!
But once she saw the smile beaming on Ga's face, and that miraculous floating, she felt at ease again.
"Since my grandson has met immortals, he naturally has the protection of immortals."
She looked at Ga and said, "Besides this, what else did those immortals say?"
"Right, what kind of immortals were they?"
Ga pulled his grandma to sit down on a chair and said excitedly, "It was Brother Taixuan, and Sister Su and the others! There were so many people, they were amazing!"
Grandma listened, her face a picture of bewilderment.
Which temple or Daoist monastery had immortals like these?
Seeing his grandmother's puzzled face, and unable to explain clearly, Ga could not help but grow anxious.
