Chapter 2: The Idol Hides the Treasure
Qing Yu has been perceiving the aura of heaven and earth according to what was said on the handscroll for a few days, and she has felt it as if nothing is happening, but she has no way to grasp it anyway.
It must be difficult to cultivate immortals, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult, but think about it, if it is really so easy to achieve, then wouldn't the immortals be all over the ground?
Qingyu went to the river to wash clothes with a basin of clothes, she didn't feel wronged at all, she did the work, Aunt Wang would give her food, she felt very fair. There were already aunts carrying laundry sticks to wash clothes by the river, and there were little girls next to them who were also helping, more playing in the water, and giggling laughter came from time to time.
After greeting them, Qingyu found a shallow place to do laundry, and she was thinking about her own business.
Xiaohe Village is not accessible to the world, people rarely go to the outside world, and it is five or six days away from the nearest town, so people will not go out unless there is something to do, because going out means delaying the work of the family, so unless it is necessary, people will not leave the village easily.
However, she had to leave the village, and although she had begun to feel the legendary aura with the methods her father had taught her, she still found it difficult. She wants to go to the world of immortal cultivators and cultivate immortal methods. However, she is still so young, she has no idea what it is like outside, how to get there, and what to rely on to support herself?
Qing Yu quickly washed her clothes, and on the way back, she was thinking about it.
"Aunt Wang, can I work more, you give me copper coins?" Qing Yu knew that she had to be rich to be able to live outside, so she thought of this method.
As soon as her words came out, Aunt Wang's face immediately changed, "You...... You dead girl, and you still want copper coins? The old lady has already lost money to raise you, and I don't know that you have such a vicious mind at a young age, my money is going to be used by my son to marry a daughter-in-law in the future! ”
As soon as her words came out, Yun Tianqing, who was sitting under the eaves reading a book, lit up, and his eyes immediately changed when he looked at Qing Yu, he seemed to think that Qing Yu asked for money as if he had promised to be his daughter-in-law. However, at the same time, another young man who was carrying water into the water tank had an ugly face, because Aunt Wang's son still had him, and he had not yet married. Qing Yu asked his mother for the money he wanted, naturally there was his wife, so he glared at Qing Yu viciously, if Aunt Wang agreed, maybe she couldn't help but throw her out.
Aunt Wang threw down the apron in her hand and went into the house, and couldn't help but be angry when she saw Yun Tianqing's stunned appearance, "What do you see?" Take a good look at your book! The old lady also pointed out that you will show your talents in the future and enjoy the blessings! One or two are not worrying! ”
After a while, Aunt Wang came out in a hurry, seeing that Qing Yu had already dried her clothes, the anger in her heart was a little smoother, and she stuffed the dustpan in her hand into her arms, and the force was so strong that Qing Yu almost fell: "Feed the chicken!" ”
Qing Yu silently took the dustpan and walked towards the chicken pen.
It seems that it is impossible to make money from Aunt Wang. However, she should have thought that the whole village was so poor that asking them to pay for it was almost a dream.
Back in the house, Qing Yu was still thinking about her own money, she thought of the jewelry that her mother had taken out before, and said in her heart: It shouldn't be used up so quickly, right?
Anyway, since her mother died, she hadn't seen those jewels again, and Aunt Wang and they had also come to the house to look for them, except for a few coppers, and they didn't see half a penny.
Qing Yu thought that a smart person like his mother would definitely not leave a way out for his daughter, but where would the mother put the money?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she hurried outside.
In the land temple at the east end of the village, Qing Yu went back and forth, went around and around, and searched for several laps but did not find half a penny.
However, in her memory, she still remembered that her mother once said: Qingyu, if people have something, they will look for the land master, because the land master will fulfill their wishes.
Aspiration? Her current wish is to be rich, but will this old man of clay sculpture help her make it happen?
For the father-in-law of the land, Qing Yu did not have the awe of the villagers at all, because his mother said that the land lord was imagined by people, and those immortals were cultivated by people, so they would not care about the suffering of the little people. Qing Yu has always believed in her mother's words, and she doesn't believe that if she bows to this clay old man for a few years, she will be able to adjust the wind and rain smoothly, and there will be no illness and no disaster. Otherwise, how can people have so many troubles, and how can they die?
Her eyes lit up, she looked at the kind-looking old man, and bowed respectfully, after all, it is not the old man who should be respected, and then hugged him with all her strength.
Sure enough, the statue could be picked up, but when she looked at it, it was empty.
"Nothing?" Qing Yu couldn't help but mutter, "Do you want to smash you and see if there is any goods in your stomach?" ”
Although Qing Yu thought so, she still didn't dare to do it, if it was known, she would not be killed by a lightning bolt from the land, but would be killed by the whole village. She believed this, because they were better and more respectful to the land than to their ancestors, and she saw that she would definitely do, and if she did, she would be beaten to death, and then reviled by countless people in later generations. They would say, "Look, that's what happens when you don't fear the gods, so she's dead."
Qing Yu was unwilling, she really couldn't hold it, and put the statue flat on the ground, thinking about resting for a while and then putting it back, but when her eyes touched the bottom of the statue, she suddenly saw a wooden box inlaid in it that was no different from the color of the mud.
Box!
At this moment, she really didn't know how to describe her excitement, she just felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat! She was at a loss for what to do.
Looking left and right outside, she hurried to pick up the box like a thief, but the box and the statue were glued too tightly, she used a lot of strength to get it down, she didn't dare to open it, and quickly put the statue back, then put the box in her arms, and rushed home.
It was really terrifying, after closing the doors and windows, and then using a wooden stick against the door of the house, Qing Yu still felt like a drum was beating in his heart.
After a little calmer, she took out the wooden box and opened it with hope, and it contained two strings of pearls, then some gold leaves, and a few pieces of broken silver.
Money, a lot of money.
Qing Yu's eyes couldn't move, and she stroked the contents of the box, unable to calm down for a long time.
With these things, even if she doesn't do anything, she can live well, but she knows that she can't be like this, she doesn't want to live a dull life like this, and she doesn't want to marry Yun Tianqing's little kid when she grows up. Although Yun Tianqing treats herself well, she doesn't like him, she only treats him as a brother, she doesn't want to scold her father and mother every day for a few coppers like Aunt Wang, she can't imagine herself becoming like that. She had to leave this place.
After hiding her things, Qing Yu began to meditate again, and in the dead of night, her eyes suddenly opened, flashing with a clear light.
She felt the aura!
Yes, she felt the aura!
Although she had no way to verify it, she just felt that she had really felt the aura just now.
Father said that when there is no way to keep the spiritual power in the body before the qi is inducted into the body, it is necessary to introduce the spiritual energy into the bead at this time. But how to do it, she hasn't mastered the method yet, after all, what is said on the handscroll is too difficult, and she really doesn't understand.
Mind guidance, what is that?
