After eating with Qin Tian Xiaonan, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening.

Qin Tian drove Jiang Bai's family first, and then sent Xiao Nan back to her residence.

"Let's go. ”

Jiang Bai waved goodbye to Qin Tian Xiaonan, then turned around and beckoned his mother and sister to go home.

It is said to be a home, but it is actually a simple house in an urban village.

The village is called Shangliao.

It's a common name for a water village in the south.

Village houses are densely packed.

Cables run overhead like spider webs, all of which are eight or nine storey high, but there is not a trace of extra space between them, and when you look up, only on a sunny day can you see a narrow crack in the sky.

The people who live here are people who come to this big city in search of a better life, but their income is not enough to support them to rent a more comfortable neighborhood in terms of housing and facilities.

In the city, people often joke that those neighborhoods are:

Europe inside the walls, Africa outside the walls.

Jiang Bai's family lives in Africa.

Because his mother's income has been meager, plus he has to go to college, and later, he has to raise a younger sister, and his life is even more stretched, and then he finally survived until Jiang Bai graduated from university, but his career has not improved, and the income he takes home is only embarrassing.

Later, he had an accident on the set, and the flame of hope that had just been ignited by the family was extinguished again.

Therefore, with such a snail house that can shelter from the wind and rain, Jiang Bai is already very content.

Jiang Bai took out the key to open the door.

Probably hearing the sound of his key turning the iron door, the door of a room on the third floor suddenly opened, and from the vacated balcony came an old woman with a swarthy and dry face like orange peel.

"Mrs. Jiang, this month's rent has been delayed for three days, when can you pay it?"

The old woman spoke a Lingnan characteristic folk sound, trying her best to maintain what she thought was decent and harmonious.

"Mrs. landlady, please give me a few more days, the owner of my work will settle the bill for me when he comes back from abroad, and I will make up for you as soon as I get the money, I'm sorry." ”

Jiang Yihong looked up at the woman on the third floor, with a look of guilt and embarrassment.

Even after many, many years, Jiang Yihong is still a self-respecting and proud woman, if it weren't for the compulsion of life, how could she be willing to be so low-minded in her life?

"Well, then let's give you a few more days, you've been a tenant for many years, hey, you don't know how sought-after the house is now. ”

The old woman retracted her head as she spoke, and muttered into the room.

She never noticed that her tenant's vegetative son, who had been bedridden for a year, had woken up.

"I know, I know, thank you landlady. ”

Jiang Yihong looked at the back of the old woman of the landlord and expressed her gratitude.

"Mom, I'm sorry. ”

Jiang Bai stretched out his hand and gently hugged his mother's back, his voice bitter.

"Silly boy, what is there to be sorry for? If you want to say sorry, it should be your mother who is sorry for you. ”

Jiang Yihong looked up at his son, who was more than himself, and his eyes were full of apologies.

If he hadn't insisted on giving birth to Jiang Bai at the beginning, perhaps, his life path would not have been so hard, right? Or maybe, if he had handed him over to that scumbag, his life would definitely be better than now.

And if you don't have enough food and clothing, you can't talk about it, your career is not going well, and you have to be angry everywhere.

It's all your own fault.

"Mom, look at what stupid things you say, being your son in this life is the greatest happiness for your son, Mom, don't worry, I will work harder than before to earn money to support you and my sister. You and your sister are the people I love the most in this world. ”

Jiang Bai's heart was bitter and warm.

Of course, he knows his mother's suffering, and he also knows the suffering he has lived for more than 20 years, but he knows how to be grateful, because other people's mothers love hard, and his mother is protecting their brothers and sisters with her life.

"Mom knows, we're working together as a family. ”

Jiang Yihong looked at his son and encouraged.

"Brother, come on!"

Sister Jiang Mo pouted, looking at Jiang Bai, her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

In her world, she probably doesn't know much about the joys and sorrows of the world, and the cruelty of life, right?

"Thank you, Momo. ”

Jiang Bai squatted down, gently picked up Jiang Mo, and kissed her gently on her little face.

…………………………

The night is quiet.

Silent.

Even the ping-pong pots and pans sonata that lasts for a long time next door upstairs on weekdays has finally come to rest at this moment.

Jiang Bai lay on the bed.

There was no window as far as his eyes could see.

It's a darkroom.

For the family, it is a blessing to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Moreover, because this is a one-bedroom apartment, because Jiang Bai is unconscious, his mother gave him the bedroom where he originally slept by himself, and she now takes her sister Jiang Mo to sleep on the simple sofa in the small living room outside.

Through an inferior plastic steel door that was not soundproof, Jiang Bai could clearly hear the slow and calm breathing of his mother and sister.

They must all have fallen asleep.

Jiang Bai opened the door lightly, and with the dim street lights outside, he saw his mother hugging his sister.

His heart throbbed again.

Turning his face, Jiang Bai opened the iron door of the living room and walked out.

The city has fallen asleep.

Overhead, the moon and stars are scarce.

The village is located by a small river, the water is clear, the water is luxuriant, and a dense plantain forest meanders along the riverbank - all wild plantains, of average breeds, and no one cares for them, and it was a paradise for their children as children.

Jiang Bai walked into the depths of the plantain forest.

There is a huge rock jutting out of the river.

The water is empty.

Lin is quiet in the middle of the night.

It is a place that is perfect for monasticism.

Although it is said that the cultivation of this world has long become a legend, it has even been ridiculed as nonsense by ignorant people in later generations. However, Jiang Bai, who has experienced all this, understands that everything is true, just like in "The Three-Body Problem", people from the four-dimensional space can know the past and future of human beings in the three-dimensional space.

We know too little about the unknown.

It's just that compared to the blazing aura of the Xuanwu planet, today's earth's aura is sparse and pitiful, and Jiang Bai has already tried to use the cultivation method to catch it from the surroundings on the way back tonight.

Few.

Rarely.

But it's better than nothing.

Moreover, the closer this kind of place is to the true state of nature, the more aura will be.

All this was not enough to make Jiang Bai afraid.

Returning to this planet, although his physical body in his previous life has been destroyed, his spiritual sense is still there, and he still remembers the mental methods and techniques of cultivation, and thanks to the experience essence of tens of thousands of years of cultivation experience of a great cultivator like the Heavenly Dao Alliance, he is confident that even if he only has a trace of spiritual energy, he can still practice according to it.

Cross your knees.

Sit.

Close your eyes.

Concentrate.

Jiang Bai followed the cultivation method in his memory, and used all his strength to capture the imperceptible trace of aura in the universe desolation, he introduced them into his own Qi Sutra Eight Veins, and then slowly incorporated them into the dantian............

He is no longer Jiang Bai at the peak of the Mahayana Transformation Realm.

Tonight, Jiang Bai began his first qi training on this planet.
