Chapter 423: Means
Ula Province, Sanping County.
The temperature is already very low in the north, and it is only the end of October, and the sky is full of snowflakes, heralding the arrival of another snow season.
When it snows, the right amount is the scene, and the excess becomes a disaster. Since about the year before, the people of Ula Province have been accustomed to the white winter, with occasional circuit failures, frozen water pipes, and cotton jackets and pants that have returned to their bodies.
"Crunch!"
In the morning, a taxi came from the station and drove directly into the compound of the county hospital. As soon as the car door opened, two figures, one big and one small, came down, and ran to the inpatient department in a hurry.
took the elevator to the third floor and entered room 302, An Susu pounced at once, "Mom, are you okay?"
"The girl is back...... Ouch, don't cry, don't cry!"
The woman in her thirties, but who looked *** haggard, hurriedly hugged her daughter and said with a smile: "I'm fine, isn't this good?" ”
"Okay, okay, don't press your mother!"
Her father reached out and carried her away, pressing her against the chair. An Susu was still squirming and asked, "What my uncle said is terrifying, what did I see the last time, I thought, I thought...... Woohoo......"
"Okay, the first two days were a bit dangerous, but now it's stable, and I can be discharged from the hospital after a while. The mother rubbed her hair with a face full of love.
The two of them have been farmers since their ancestors, and they have been digging in the fields for half their lives, and their children were born late, and they only had such a daughter when they were almost thirty.
The woman's heart has not been very good, and she will fall ill every few months, and then she will be hospitalized for intravenous drips, and the cycle will continue. This time it was also violent, and it was indeed a little scary.
My father was talking to my uncle outside, and my mother asked, "How are you doing over there?" ”
"I'm fine, I eat well, I sleep well, and no one bullies me. It's just that the rules are strict, you can't go down the mountain casually, and it's hard to practice on weekdays. ”
An Susu was very sensible, picked up an apple and began to peel it. The short fingers are a little strenuous, but the hand is very steady, and the knife is very even, and the peel is continuous.
"At the beginning, it was your uncle who said that it would be good, including food and shelter, and teaching skills, so I sent you there...... Alas, in fact, we don't understand it, it sounds like an army?"
"Hehe, what kind of army, it's just a mountain, it's so big, it's big, and then there are a few masters, teach us, teach us ......"
An Susu hadn't seen her family for a long time, and she was so happy and excited that she was about to tell her mother about it, but then she suddenly stopped.
"What to teach you?" the woman curious.
"Well, we have rules, we can't just say it. ”
"There are quite a lot of local regulations! I don't see anything good, and we are still paying attention to it after going out for a few months. "Father came in and interjected.
"Tsk, how do you speak?"
The mother patted her daughter with one hand and said, "Are you blind? Look at how much whiter this girl is than before, and her hair is also dense, what is it called not good? Go and go, find a place to smoke!"
She blasted her husband away, and comforted her: "It's okay, don't talk about it if there are rules." I'm fine, but since you're back, stay two more days. ”
"Uh-huh!"
So, An Susu stayed with the bed in the hospital, enjoying the warmth of the family she had missed for a long time.
Their family was originally in a small riverside village, but now the village is engaged in development, and the house land has been expropriated. With the compensation money, my father found a place to live in the county, and he didn't farm and did odd jobs or something.
Now I live a lot, except for the lazy, no one can starve to death, and even higher than the previous income, of course, prices are also rising.
The parents have a clear plan, and when the first batch of concentrated communities is built, they have a policy of priority resettlement, so they will pick a house and settle in the county in the future.
The little girl was also very happy, thinking about going back and working hard, earning a few pills for her mother to cure the disease, and the most important thing is that the family is neat and happy!
Anyway, everything was fine, nothing unusual happened. After three or four days like this, An Susu saw that her mother was indeed fine, so she proposed to return to Baicheng.
"Can't you stay a few more days so soon?" the woman reluctantly.
"I've been delayed for a long time, I still have to practice when I go back, and I ...... practice" An Susu was embarrassed, and he couldn't say clearly.
"Then you are too unkind, what's the matter if you don't let you go home?"
Our first year is the inspection period, and if I can stay after a year, I will have a vacation, and it will be convenient to come back later. ”
"Then you behave well, oh yes......"
As if thinking of something, the woman suddenly took out a pendant from under the pillow and said, "This is the peace charm I asked for before, and you wear it with you." ”
If it was before, the little girl would have taken it honestly, but now that she has learned the skills, her world view is changing a little bit, so she asked: "Mom, where did you ask for it? The peace charms in the temple are all fake, and they are not as effective as my fists and feet!"
"If you want to wear it, it's your mother's will!" the father was a little angry.
“……”
The little girl didn't dare to say more, so she took it and tied it around her neck and covered it with her collar.
It was a round, jade-like pendant, with a string of small red beads underneath and two red thread tassels underneath.
The jade pendant is engraved with two words: peace.
An Susu didn't think much about it, said goodbye to her parents, and followed her uncle to Phoenix Mountain. And this time and again, a week has passed.
After returning to the mountain gate, she first found Lao Shui, "Uncle Shui......"
"Brother, how many times have you said it!"
"But I'm only seven years old, and you're almost thirty, so there's nothing wrong with calling your uncle. ”
Tsk, now this batch of little Loli is only cute on the surface, and they are all black when they are cut.
Lao Shui didn't want to discuss this kind of thing, and asked, "Is your mother okay?"
"The old heart problem, hospitalization. ”
"That's fine, if there's any financial difficulty, just tell us. You go to the service hall to get rid of the leave, and then you can go back to the dormitory. ”
"Got it, thank you, Uncle Shui!"
An Susu retreated as he said, and after a lot of chattering, he returned to Wutong Garden. The young ladies were concerned and inquired, and they were enthusiastic.
In the evening, the little girl took a bath, climbed into bed and went to bed, as usual, with her pillow in her sleep.
Six people in the same room, all maintaining a strange position:
Lie flat with your legs stretched out naturally and your right foot on top of your left foot. Fingers crossed, thumb and little finger facing each other. Palm down, hold on to the dantian. The thumb is on the navel and the little finger is on the pubic bone.
The eyes are slightly closed, and the chest is rhythmically lowered together, as if it is running and regulating the qi.
This is called raising Danchun, and the simple exercises exchanged by Lu Yuanqing can also warm up the qi in sleep. This is the abbot of Baiyun Temple, drawing on the sleeping skills of Chen Luan's ancestors, and the top grade in the basic qi method.
In the dead of night, the empty mountains are silent.
“……”
The six girls slept soundly, and no one noticed that the pendant on An Susu's neck suddenly glowed with a slight red light.
"Hmm......"
The little girl frowned in her sleep, and seemed uncomfortable. The sensation was fleeting, and she grunted, and fell back to sleep.
…………
It is the truth that the people live on food. This people, including everyone, naturally includes the monks. Take the Danfang of the Qi Gathering Pill as an example, which includes:
The tuber roots of sand thorns can shield water vapor when eaten.
The scales of the fish will not get the disease if you eat it.
Withered grass, eating it can clear the mind and prevent fainting and confusion.
The heart of the eared mouse can resist poison......
Etcetera. The alchemy materials of the West are all analyzed and analyzed, reacted, and changed...... We're very unconventional, what we taste like and how it will be.
The Xia Kingdom on the tip of the tongue has been passed down from ancient times to the present.
The Qi Gathering Pill is recorded in the Sazu Dao Seal, and it can only be taken by people in the fairyland, thirty-six kinds of materials, Gu studied them for a long time before sorting out their properties one by one.
Just like refining the body of Wushan, there are no raw materials, and they can only be collected according to their attributes.
Big project, as long as one material is wrong, the whole furnace will hit the street, and by the way, another thirty-five kinds will be wasted. This is a very congested thing, Gu deliberately doesn't think about it, and he can make himself feel better.
Northwest, Fire Continent.
After this vast land was ravaged by the Fire Aura Riot, it has always been in a state of lockdown, and all along the Fire Continent are full of army sentry posts.
It's been four years, and the scene of the great migration of 700,000 people is still vivid, and I don't want to revisit the same place today.
"Whew!"
A golden light streaked across the sky and landed within the boundary of the Fire Continent, and Gu Immortal appeared and raised his eyes to look around.
The sky seemed to deepen, and the sunlight struggled through the red clouds to reveal a deep light. The surroundings were filled with a pale red mist, which was the tangible state of the dense dense fire aura that was too dense.
Some of these red fogs are heavy and condense in a certain area, while others are very light, drifting with the wind or even disappearing, which is caused by the uneven distribution.
Gu felt the temperature and the aggressiveness of the fire aura, compared to the beginning, the aura was already very stable, and there was no sign of riot. Ordinary people are still in danger, but they can get in.
He walked forward with his feet in accordance with the direction he remembered, and all he could see was red, and above the red ground, there were many strange dependent creatures.
Most of them are red as the base, with other variegated colors, snakes, insects, rats and ants, birds and animals, tall and low vegetation, which can be seen everywhere, and a complete ecological circle has been formed.
The only thing lacking is water, which is almost invisible.
He watched the Jedi scenery slowly, and after about two or three hours, a red stone mountain with a length of 100 kilometers from east to west jumped out of the horizon.
From a distance, it is like Lao Jun's furnace descending into the world, with the earth as the foundation and the mountain as the wall, and the red flames rise to the sky, scorching everything in the world.
And on the periphery of the Flame Mountain, about a hundred zhang away, the concentration of fire aura suddenly increased.
Gu's figure flickered, and in the next second, he appeared on the top of the mountain, and went straight to the "Demon Suppression Valley".
He came here to search for alternative materials, but he hadn't forgotten that there was a thousand-year-old ghost under this mountain!
