"Just ask-

"In the Three Realms of Antiquity, the immortal gods loomed, the cultivators were high, mortals were like ants, the immortals were able to fight the law once, they could cause the living souls to be miserable, and the sorrow was all over the wilderness, but the merit and sin were only in one thought, no matter how high the merit was, no matter how deep the sin was, there was no punishment, between heaven and earth, those who knew the white and kept the black, the self-proclaimed transcendent, regarded as the dog...... Abound.

"Such heaven and earth, mortals...... How can I protect myself?"

An indifferent voice resounded in the depths of the hearts of many Heavenly Dao powers, echoing in their minds, as if seeking a true answer.

There is great power to follow the heart, and he replied:

"Only by constantly striving for self-improvement and taking the road of cultivation can we protect ourselves, enjoy the world, and live forever. ”

There is also a powerful reply:

"Even if it is difficult to achieve great success, you can also rely on the strong, put it under the eaves of the veins and Taoist systems, and you can also protect yourself. ”

The indifferent voice asked again: "Among the many mortals in this heaven and earth, those with poor cultivation qualifications are the majority, if they can't worship the door wall of the various veins and Dao systems, what should they do?"

Many powers were silent for a long time, and some of them replied:

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, all things are dogs, heaven treats everything equally, who has a short life, who lives forever, everything is a fate, helpless. ”

There is even more power to sneer and say:

"If the heavens and the earth are infinitely large, then all things are weak, so all things are sinful, and weak is sin. ”

The indifferent voice asked: "If the short-lived person is your own and your relatives, can you still be so calm?"

The Mighty were silent again.

Suddenly, a mighty person replied:

"Knowing its male, guarding its female, for the world's stream, knowing its white, guarding its black, for the world's style, knowing its glory, guarding its humiliation, for the world's valley, this is the way of man. ”

The indifferent voice sighed: "Return to Pu, for the sake of not fighting...... How easy is it to say?"

Less leaning, and there is a powerful reply:

"Heaven and earth have no heart, life is born by nature, disasters disappear, luck is difficult to change, when there are saints who take their own hearts as the heart of heaven, establish lives for all sentient beings, and legislate for heaven and earth. ”

The indifferent voice had a hint of laughter: "However, Emperor Wa has the merit of creating people, and he has also made up for the four poles of the sky, the best and most holy, this is naturally what my heart wants, but the heart of the saint is not the heart of heaven, after all, when it is difficult to be able to reach the power, only by setting up the rules of heaven and correcting the heart of heaven is the perfect strategy." ”

Suddenly, a powerful person asked:

"The rules of heaven are supposed to be just and selfless, so for heaven and earth, and set such heavenly rules, isn't it biased in favor of mortals? Isn't it unfair?"

The indifferent voice said: "Favoritism? The prosperity and decline of all spirits is common sense, there is no constant strength, no constant weakness, the number of lives is impermanent, but practice is against fate, if you go along with it, if you go against it, practice is against the principles of heaven, in the past, it was the incompleteness of the way of heaven, which caused all spirits to tend to be chaotic, and it should have made up for the way of heaven and re-balanced, so how can you say favoritism?"

Someone mightily asked:

"The Great Tribulation of the Outer Dao is to correct the Heavenly Heart?

The indifferent voice said softly: "The way of heaven should be selfless, but now the heart of heaven has selfish intentions, so it will cause a catastrophe, and it is useless to say more, you will know it after experiencing it yourself." ”

……

……

The sky is blue, and it is as clear as a wash.

'I' looked at the sky a little blankly, lay on the grass, and muttered, "I...... Who is it?"

"Stop...... Brother Zhishui, you ...... What's wrong with you?" a slightly stammering girl's voice sounded next to her, and her voice was quite childish and pleasant.

"Stop the water?"

I gradually came back to my senses and found a familiar memory: "Oh...... I'm Lin Zhishui...... It's the snake catcher of the snake village......"

I turned my head to look, and saw a girl in gray and white clothes sitting next to her, her face was slightly immature, but she could already see that she was a beautiful embryo, a pair of clear and ignorant eyes looked at him with some worry, and stammered and asked, "Brother Zhishui, you ...... Are you alright?"

"It's okay, Xiaochan, I'm just sleeping, let's go back." ”

I stood up with a smile, patted the blades of grass on my body, picked up the cage containing the snake next to me, pinched the tip of Xiaochan's nose again, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you today, I caught enough snakes so quickly, Uncle Liang will be very happy, you are really amazing." ”

Xiaochan's pretty face was slightly red, and she snorted, "I don't know either...... What's going on...... You can understand what the snake is saying......"

"Maybe you have the qualifications to 'refine qi'?"

I smiled and said: "I heard Lu Lao say in the village, those immortal masters in the legend are actually masters of qi refining and cultivation, and the adult who often comes to our village to collect snakes heard that he is an immortal master, and he is also another more powerful immortal master apprentice, you are so special, maybe you can also refine qi!"

"Qi refining...... Is there anything good?" Xiaochan said a little confused.

"It is said that after cultivating, you can live for a long time, and you can fly to the heavens and the earth, and even fly to the heavenly realm to see the legendary Nuwa Niangniang and the Jade Emperor. I couldn't help but say yearningly.

"Jade Emperor?" Xiao Chan looked at the sky and said, "In ...... Heavenly?"

I nodded, looked up at the blue sky, and said, "The sky is high, only powerful immortal masters can go up." ”

Xiaochan sighed and whispered, "Brother Zhishui...... And I ...... Cultivate with me. ”

"I don't have cultivation qualifications. I said depressedly: "Grandpa has already asked an immortal master to see my qualifications, and the immortal master said that I am just a mortal, and I have no qualifications, and I can't even do anything 'enlightening'. ”

"Brother Stop Water...... I don't have any qualifications, so I'm sure I'm ...... Not qualified. Xiaochan hurriedly said.

"What if there is?" I rubbed her head and said, "If you can become an immortal master, then don't I have a good friend of the immortal master?"

Xiaochan shook her head cautiously and said, "I don't want to be an immortal master......

"Why?" I was stunned.

Xiao Chanqiao blushed and said in a low voice: "I heard...... Immortal masters should always ...... Retreat and cultivation, if I become an immortal master, wouldn't that be ...... I can't see you......"

I was stunned for a moment, and then I couldn't help but knock her on the head, and said angrily: "Stupid you, when you have cultivated, you can pass on your skills to me, I heard that there is a way to practice in pairs, and it must be a man and a woman, we are just right, when you cultivate, won't you be able to let me become an immortal master together?"

"Duo cultivation?" Xiao Chan was slightly stunned, then blinked her eyes, nodded her little head vigorously, and said with a firm face: "Duo cultivation!"

I couldn't help but squint my eyes and smile, and said, "I'm just talking casually, I heard that there is no one in ten thousand people with qi refining qualifications, don't think too much." ”

"Oh......" Xiaochan nodded her head.

At this moment, I felt a cold touch on my neck, and a small black-scaled snake slightly thicker than my thumb came out of my collar and crawled on top of my head, hissing and spitting snake letters.

"This little guy can sleep better than I do. ”

I pulled the little snake off my head and asked, "Why don't you grow up?" I've been feeding you for years, and I've been like that. ”

The little black-scaled snake shook its head as if it were spiritual.

"You can actually understand what I say, are you a monster?" I knocked on its head and laughed again: "But I heard that monsters are very large, and snake monsters are not only thick, but also very long, how can you be a monster like a small one?"

The black-scaled little snake turned its head, looked like it didn't want to pay attention to him, and hissed twice at Xiao Chan.

Xiaochan understood the snake language, so she said: "Brother Zhishui, Xiaoyou...... Say you're uncomfortable in your arms, think of me...... Sleep in your arms. ”

I let out a sigh and handed the black-scaled snake to Xiaochan.

The little snake immediately slipped into the neckline, coiled comfortably in it, and continued to sleep.

I looked at Xiaochan's bulging chest, and couldn't help but nod as if I understood, and said: "No wonder Xiaoyou likes you, you seem to have been a lot stronger recently, your chest looks much bigger than mine, but it's a little too soft, I pinch it and deform, you see how strong my chest is, Xiaochan, you have to exercise a lot." ”

"I practiced...... But I've always ...... on my chest It's very soft, it's not strong......" Xiaochan looked aggrieved.

I thought about it, and suddenly my eyes lit up, and I said, "This...... Maybe it's because your body is too weak, you have to rely on external forces, you look at the third uncle, he often lets people beat him with wooden sticks, just to make your body stronger, and you will have to temper your chest in the future. ”

Xiaochan nodded knowingly and said, "That'...... Brother Zhishui help me. ”

"Leave it to me, make sure you're strong. I patted my chest and said confidently.

While chatting with Xiaochan, I walked along the edge of the mountain stream, with the snake cage behind me, in the direction of the village, and returned to the door of the snake village in a short time.

The man guarding the gate of the village asked with a smile: "Stop the water, how many snakes did you catch with Xiaochan today?"

"It's full, of course. ”

I smiled slightly smugly and shook the snake cage behind me.

"So powerful?" The gatekeeper smiled in surprise: "That's great, before tonight at the latest, the snake fairy master will come to collect the snake again, this month's weight is still a little insufficient, the owner of the village has been urging people to go out to catch snakes, you catch a cage and come back, the owner of the village will definitely be very happy." ”

"No matter how happy my dad is, he doesn't have much to reward. ”

I pursed my lips and said, "He also said that he would send me to a private school in the city to study, what is there to read." ”

The gatekeeper smiled and said, "Then do you want your father to marry Xiaochan to you?"

"Marry me? Is it the same as my mother marrying me? I don't want to, my father bullies my mother every night and makes her cry all the time, so I won't bully Xiaochan." I snorted: "And maybe Xiaochan has the qualifications to refine qi and can become an immortal master, when the time comes, Xiaochan and I can practice as a couple, so that I can also become an immortal master, why should I bully her?"

"Brother Zhishui......" Xiaochan looked at me with a touched face.

The corners of the gatekeeper's mouth twitched slightly: "Double cultivation......? Repair?"

"Well, double cultivation. Xiaochan also nodded solemnly.

"Don't talk about it. I waved my hand and pulled Xiaochan towards the village, "Xiaochan has gained weight recently, I'll go back to help Xiaochan exercise first." ”

"Are you fat?" the gatekeeper looked confused.
