Chapter 325 Making a Name
Ten years ago, Su Silin, living in Tiehe Village, became the best hunter by his strength and also relied on this to marry his wife, Hui, and lived a very happy life. Although his temper was a little grumpy, he never hit his wife or his mother.
One year after his marriage, Su Silin was so happy because Hui was pregnant. Su’s mother even said to everyone she met that her daughter-in-law was pregnant and would have a brand-new baby boy.
Perhaps because they said too much and made a taboo, Hui eventually gave birth to a daughter. Although Su Silin and his mother were not very happy, they did not show it.
After that, within a year, Hui was pregnant with her second child. This time Su Silin and his mother did not say a word, just waiting for the baby to be born.
But this time, she still born a daughter, which finally made Su Silin angry. He didn’t even give a name to this girl and beat his weak wife violently. Under the dispute between the two, the second daughter’s face was sc.r.a.ped by fine jewelry, and the blood was everywhere.
Recalling here, the village head sighed, “This girl is Erya. Later, the villagers went to mediate and cleaned his house kindly, but Hui was so frustrated that she took her eldest daughter back to her natal family. And then, people heard that she had remarried, and there was no more news for her. It didn’t take long for Su Silin’s mother to end her life for angry.”
“Just a few days after that day, the people on the east side of the river were infected with the plague, and all of them were insane, which made the medical clinics in the town fill with our villagers!”
“It took about half a year for people in the east side of the river to recover from illness. After they got well, they moved away one by one, and within a month, there was only Su Silin’s family.”
“Strangely, Erya had just been born at the time who should be the most susceptible, but she was the only one who didn’t get sick. When I took her to the mammy to feed, she behaved very obediently. Maybe G.o.d has mercy on her.”
Huang nodded sullenly. In that case, the girl had been suffering a lot since her birth.
“Li, I know your meaning.”
Huang patted his thigh with his palms lightly, saying with a deep voice, “Erya suffered a lot from childhood, and I also lived in solitude. Therefore, it’s better for us to live together. As long as I am still alive, I will never let that child suffer.”
The village head rejoiced, for that he finally settled his thought, “It’s better for you to think so. Erya is so blessed!”
Huang gave a response, and didn’t speak anymore. He sat down for gossips, and soon went home.
Early the next morning, Erya woke up and sat up from the bed for a moment. Then she reacted that she was no longer living in the east of the river, and her father… was dead, and now…
Erya thought of something, so, she suddenly came down from the bed and ran out barefoot.
The morning sun shone through the mist into the yard, and Erya found immediately that Grandpa Huang was almost ready for breakfast. Her bright eyes flashed a bit of light and she shouted lovely, “Grandpa.”
Huang was so thrilled that he almost thrust his hand into the fire. He looked up to see Erya. He couldn’t help grinning and immediately came over, laughing, “Your girl, the ground is so cold. Why don’t you wear shoes!”
Erya giggled without speaking, which turned out to the child’s nature. Huang looked at her with happiness. It seemed that his father’s death had no effect on her.
“Little girl, how about I give you a name today?”
Huang sat on the threshold with her in arms, “Erya is your nickname. I will send you to the school, so, you can’t always use this name.”
Erya nodded obediently, and her fresh and delicate eyes were filled with expectations, “Grandpa, please give me a name.”
Huang grinned and immediately pondered, with his brows frowned together.
However, although he had some unusual experiences, he was uneducated. It was not an ordinary difficulty for him to have a name at once.
“Your father’s surname is Su. Although he didn’t treat you well, this surname is still necessary …”
Huang was murmuring, and suddenly he came to an idea, which made his long-quiet heart suddenly beat vigorously, and once this idea came up, it could no longer be constrained.
There was a custom in the village. If one was weak and sick when he was young, he would have a mean name to feed him. Therefore, there were so many people called Ergouzi or s.h.i.+dan in the village. While people with misfortune life, like Erya, should have a great name to change their life.
What was the greatest name with its surname Su?!
There was only one candidate in Huang’s mind. The owner in Mount of Holy Girl of Yuxu Sect had changed when he went up the mountain decades ago, and what he said to Erya were mostly boasts, but… he remembered the legendary name very well!
“This name is cited as a taboo in the cultivation circle, but… Erya is just a mortal, and there are so many people with the same name…”
Huang’s eyes became brighter. Eventually, he made up his mind and said, “Erya, you will be called Su Li!”
Boom!!
Su Li!
This name…
Erya’s mind was blank, and her face became pale quickly. Her lips were trembling, and she let out a shrill howl, holding her head and yelling,
“Su Li, Su Li… Linli… Linli… Ling Li!”
Seeing that Erya was stimulated, Huang was scared with his face changed greatly, “Girl, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me. I won’t call you Su Li anymore. It’s my fault, Erya …”
Seeing that Erya was increasingly caught in a strange situation, Huang panicked for a moment and finally reacted, holding Erya to find a doctor.
At this moment, Erya calmed down suddenly and stopped trembling as he finished the words. Everything was back to normal.
Huang was puzzled, put down Erya who closed her eyes, and looked at her up and down. He really didn’t know why the name could make her have such a big response.
At this moment, Erya suddenly opened her eyes, and her pupils were dark, as deep as the stars.
“I am Su Li.”
Suddenly she spoke, and her childish voice rang again. It was calmer than before, but Huang who had not been in contact with her for a long time didn’t notice it. Instead, he nodded and said with joy,
“Right, you are Su Li!”
Not only did he not worry at the moment, but he felt fortunate for his decision. The situation for Erya just now was mostly the blessings of the great holy girl. All the various divinities of the cultivation circle were beyond his conjecture.
“Grandpa, I’m a little tired. I want to rest for a while.”
Su Li said after a moment silence. Huang had no doubt about her words, nodding and saying, “Go quickly. You are just growing up and need more sleep. I will call you after breakfast is cooked.”
Su Li responded, and turned around. Her pace was no longer brisk. Although Huang felt something was wrong, he was so happy that he didn’t care much and then kept working.
Su Li returned to the room, looked at the new bed, frowned and said nothing.
After a long time, she reached out and p.r.i.c.ked the Neiguan Point in her wrists, and then… nothing happened.
“It seems that I really got free from Reincarnation Mirror and returned to Qingshui Circle.”
With a murmur, Su Li, who had just recovered her memory, was in doubt again. She had clearly lost her soul in front of the spirit of Reincarnation Mirror. There was no longer the possibility of reincarnation, but now she not only reincarnated, but also completely restored her memory.
What happened on earth?
Soon after her wondering, Huang called her outside the house, so, she had to put aside her distractions for a moment and her eyes flashed.
In any case, she should go through the present predicament first. This body was too weak, and a little greater danger could make her return to nothingness.
This feeling was not very good.
Huang had mostly sweet potatoes, and naturally only sweet potato porridge was made for breakfast.
After breakfast, Huang worked in the field and left Su Li alone at home, accidentally giving her enough time to think.
“As Huang said, it is not difficult to guess that this place is not far from Yuxu Sect, but the people in Tiehe Village obviously have not been in contact with the cultivators. This place… is extremely remote, being threatened only by the beasts, which gives me the chance to recover.”
Thinking so, Su Li touched her right ring finger, and she could feel that the ring was still there. Just because she didn’t have cultivation, it could not be revealed.
“Is it Black Lotus Ring of Ghost Clan that took me to reincarnate…”
This thought inevitably arose in her heart, and Su Li recalled all the things that happened in the east side of the river before. After she recovered her memory, her power of the soul surged. She could remember every detail since her birth.
The desolation and plague in the east side of the river, and the violent death of Su Silin and others were all caused by her blood, which had many unpredictable and strange characteristics due to Black Lotus Ring seemingly. So, it might be reasonable for her to be called “jinx”.
Thinking of this, Su Li smiled with not guilty.
If Su Silin took good care of her, there would not be so many disasters in the east side of the river. It could only be said that evildoers were bound to be punished after the reincarnation.
“I’ll re-step on cultivation, and it’s the most complete method for cultivation that I’ve known in this life.”
Sitting cross-legged in the house, Su Li pondered silently.
Yuxu Sect had Yuxu Tactics, which was a rare mental method in the cultivation circle. Although she was a gifted genius in the past, she could hardly reach the top hurdle of Jindan Realm in just six hundred years without a good mental method.
In this life, she obviously had a better choice.
“When I was caught in the mirror at that time, I didn’t know it. I just thought that Ao Sword Skills was a unique skill. Now, it seems that it is a top-level cultivation holy method that integrates the mental and the sword method. Perhaps this life I can practice it first.”
“Ghost Valley Meditation Direction is also a holy method of cultivation, but it specializes in healing with lower power. If I practice this method, I can only be controlled by others, which is not my wish.”
Other practice methods collected in Reincarnation Mirror were superior mental methods mostly and holy methods partly.
Holy method! It was also very rare among the top sects in Qingshui Circle. It could be seen how valuable the mental method of Reincarnation Mirror was. It was no wonder that it attracted so many people in the past.
Su Li sighed slightly, skipped several figures in her mind, and immediately shook her head gently to get rid of distractions. She stood up to pose the starting move of Ao Sword Skills.
It was just that she just started cultivating the mental method, and suddenly
