Chapter 219: Two Years of Retreat
"Someone else?" The two chatted as they walked. "Yes, Daoist Qi also took in a lot www.biquge.info of people in the Taoist temple, and there were more than 30 people with the baby before you came. Gu Xiao leaked a sudden expression, but he didn't expect that the purity of the peaceful and prosperous era would return to a trace of liveliness when the world was in chaos. As he spoke, he came to the kitchen, several tables, and the whole room was full of people, and the lighting was the candles and kerosene lamps of the past, and the only thing that was modern was the flashlight. However, looking at the faint light of the flashlight on the mountain, I also knew that the power was about to run out.
"Sister Jin, this is your daughter, she looks so handsome." Jin Aiying's face was full of pride and she still smiled and said, "That's it, haha." Looking at the sound of talking and laughing all over the room, Gu Xiao also thought about it a lot, walked over and sat aside, and nodded hello to a few people next to him. The dishes on each table are the same, two vegetarian dishes but the amount is quite a lot, and everyone also has porridge, compared to those outside who endure the black summer, it is a great happiness.
After eating, Xu Cong took them into two rooms, there were quite a lot of empty rooms in the Taoist temple, more than thirty people in one room, and the rest were three or four in one room, except for Gu Xiao and their family of two rooms this time. She won't be staying in this room for long, though, because she'll soon be in retreat. "Two years! What are you going to do for so long? As soon as Gu Xiao opened his mouth, Gu Zhonglin and the others were taken aback. Well, I'm going to practice hard in the mountains near us for two years, and after two years, we'll go back to the base and have a look. ”
"What grievances do you have to say, this kid, as long as you know that you are next to your mother, your mother's heart will be stable, I think it's good here." Jin Aiying grabbed Gu Xiao's hand and glanced at her. "Your mother is right, the environment here is good, it's safe, there is food, drink and housing, and everyone has a good personality, just like the neighbors in the past, so you don't have to worry about the two of us."
Gu Xiao held a thing in his hand and put it in Jin Aiying's hand: "Mom, this is a storage bag, her role is like a space, but you can't enter a living thing, there are a lot of things I prepared before, everything I used to eat, everything I wear, and everything is very comprehensive, I have it for you, and you can take it out when you need it." And also...... Be sure not to let outsiders know. Gu Zhonglin took it and looked at it magically: "Knowing that there is such a thing as not leaking money, we have more experience than you." After explaining everything, she returned to her room with confidence.
After staying in the Taoist temple for two or three days, Gu Xiao saw what this group of people were doing, and the people who were sure that there was nothing to cause trouble finally relieved, looking at the father who was laughing and doing things together with people and the baby who was holding the woman who was washing clothes next to him not long after giving birth with a happy smile on his face. She couldn't help but think that maybe she might just go on like this. A week later, Gu Xiao packed up his things and went up the mountain with Qi Qianshan, and when he left, he also released the little Tibetan mastiff and Sun Xingzhi in the space, and the retreat place was not far from the Taoist temple for half an hour.
If you have something to do, your family can come over and have a look, and you can rest assured. "You are in this cave, I thought you came to prepare it for you before, I am in another cave not far from you, if there is anything you can ask me again, there are two Bigu Dan, wait for you to eat when you are hungry, it is best to eat less food with the smell of fireworks in the world during the retreat." At the beginning of the retreat, Gu Xiao was not used to it, and when he cultivated to the same time as usual every day, he probably couldn't cultivate.
And so it goes, day after day, month after month, year after year. Gu Xiao had long been accustomed to it, and even slept in such a position. At first, she would stop every few days to draw drawing talismans and read books or something, but then she went directly into the realm of selflessness and didn't feel hungry in her body, there was a world inside the cave, and there was a world outside the cave. The people under the mountain are enduring the torment of the high temperature of more than 50 degrees and the black summer torment of no water and no food, and the temperature has been slowly increasing for the past two years.
There is a situation everywhere, there is a situation of cannibalism among zombies, and the level of the winning side is getting higher and higher, although the zombies are slightly less but it is not a good sign, because the speed of human advancement is far from catching up with them. Compared with the life of outsiders, the people in the Taoist temple are really much better, and the ancient well in the backyard of the temple has never dried up, which makes people sigh and scream.
In the days of Gu Xiao's retreat, the New Year should also be in their thirties, and the people also lived a very lively day according to tradition, in the early days, a few chickens and ducks left by Gu Xiao had laid a lot of eggs, and those days Gu's father and mother also took out some fruits and frozen pork and beef, as well as salted dried fish from the storage bag. Saying to others that this is some food left by their own daughter is a space ability, fortunately, these people did not appear greedy and wanted to take it for themselves, but thanked them with gratitude on their faces, which made what Gu's father and mother were worried about not happen, which is also thanks to Qi Qianshan's credit at the beginning.
As for why I knew that the New Year was very lively, because the parents at the entrance of the cave talked a lot outside that day and left a bamboo basket, which was full of food. She rarely eats some fruits on weekdays or only eats one or two meals in two or three days, and she has eaten all the meat that day, although she knows that it is not good for cultivation, but she still does it, because this is a piece of her parents' heart, and she also deeply understands one thing and cherishes what exists. The road ahead is still too long and too long, and her parents may not wait until that time, she doesn't want to leave any regrets like Qi Qianshan.
Two years later, her cultivation finally increased from the fifth level of Qi cultivation to the sixth level of Qi training, and there were still four layers to reach the foundation building period, which sounds very little, but it is very difficult to really cultivate, and she has also grown from that twenty-year-old girl to twenty-four years old. Gu Zhonglin and Jin Aiying have already figured out that they will no longer worry about her marriage, and their daughters have more important things to do. "Uncle Shi, I still have some important things to do now, and when I finish dealing with the things down the mountain and find all the medicinal materials that Zhuji Dan needs, then I will go up the mountain again and not be bound by the mortal world."
"Go early and come back early." Gu Xiao knelt in front of the cave entrance of Qiqian Mountain, waited for these four words and a piece of paper to wrap up something, stretched out his hand to take it, kowtowed, and went down the mountain. Because there are no outsiders in the Taoist temple on weekdays, the doors outside are bolted, and today there was a sudden knock on the door, just when everyone walked out of the house and wondered, the sound outside made Gu Zhonglin and Jin Aiying overjoyed. "It's Xiao Xiao who has come down the mountain!" The two hurriedly walked over and opened the door, and it was indeed their daughter standing outside. (To be continued.) )
