Chapter 477: Take the pill
Xiao Ding slept in a stone house on the top of a small hill until noon.
With the hot kang head and the warm room, Xiao Ding slept very well. The fatigue of days of rushing has finally dissipated.
It wasn't until noon that the second girl came to the stone house again with the food box that Xiaoding got up and freshened up.
Water is easily accessible at the top of the hill because the water at the bottom of the hill also comes from the hot spring in the cave at the top of the mountain.
The springs of the hot spring were cleaned again, and five springs were dug up in the vicinity.
The spring water flowing out of the cave is divided into two ditches, one of which is diverted to the waterhole on the mountainside, and the other is diverted directly from the stone wall of the cliff on the east side for the daily use of the people in the courtyard of the Yamashita family.
There is also a pond dug next to the spring in the cave, which can be used for bathing in hot springs when it is filled with water. Of course, the water in this pond is also drained to the waterhole on the mountainside after it flows out of the cave.
Xiao Ding's washing was done by squatting next to the ditch that flowed to the mountainside.
In winter, it is also very comfortable to wash your face with the warm hot spring water.
After washing, Xiaoding returned to the house to have lunch with the second girl.
This time, the second girl directly brought the weight of the two. White rice, stir-fried tenderloin with green vegetables, steamed hare meat, braised pheasant nuggets, stir-fried liver with winter bamboo shoots, and two bowls of vermicelli ball soup. There are four dishes and one soup in total, and it is also very hearty.
Judging from these foods, the Tian family has really lived a rich life. Of course, these meals were made by the maids and ladies who bought them at home. It tastes good, and it looks like it's made by people who cook often, and the cooking skills are not bad.
Think about the time when I just crossed over, the Tian family was surrounded by four walls, and I had to count the rice grains in the pot for a meal, and I couldn't even drink rice soup at every meal, how could the Tian family have a good body?
At that time, the dilapidated house in the family was also leaking everywhere, and if he hadn't crossed over by himself, Xiao Ding would have wondered if the Tian family would have been frozen to death by the cold last winter.
In just one year, his arrival has completely changed the life of the Tian family, and I have to say that it was all brought by Xiao Ding. Of course, this is also inseparable from the hard work of the Tian family. Xiao Ding provided ideas and a way out, and the Tian family went to follow Xiao Ding's path to make money and improve their lives.
Everything is from scratch. Xiao Ding himself has now changed from a "fool" when he just crossed over, to a noble Hou Ye.
Of course, there are many coincidences and opportunities in this, but if Xiao Ding does not have wisdom and skills, even if there is an opportunity, he will not be able to grasp it.
Therefore, people in the world often sigh that they have no talent and no chance to get ahead. But the truth is, it's not that you haven't caught up with the opportunity, it's that you don't have the skills to grasp it.
Rise from the ground in another world and soar into the sky. Serendipity is important, but so is the wisdom of the mind and the ability to reach the sky.
Xiao Ding traveled to this different world for more than a year due to fate, and through his wisdom and hard work, he entered the upper class, and at the same time changed the living conditions of the Tian family. These achievements are obvious to all.
Perhaps no one in the Tian family thought that this person, who was once a "fool" in the eyes of everyone, has now turned into a superior Hou Ye. At the same time, he also came up with a way for the Tian family to make money by growing vegetables and medicinal herbs in a warm shed. It's worth more than the chest of gold he brought back last time.
After all, there will always be a time when gold will run out, and the way to make money can go on forever. As long as no major changes occur, this way of making money can go on forever, and there is absolutely no problem in making the Tian family live a prosperous life.
Moreover, Xiao Ding also discovered the use of coal and cement. Nowadays, the people in the village, who are heating in winter, have begun to learn from the Tian family, digging coal in the pit behind the village, and then coming back to use it.
Those who built a new house or renovated an old house also learned from the Tian family, built a fire kang, and learned to use original cement.
Xiao Ding didn't have the idea of making money on ondol, coal and cement formulas. In his opinion, money is just something outside the body, enough to spend it, there is no need to see profits, and all the ways to make money are in his hands. After all, the money in the world can never be earned, and if you are too greedy, it will lead to the annihilation of human nature and the immoral things.
Xiao Ding is a cultivator, and naturally he also pays attention to the cultivation of the mind. Otherwise, leaving the demons in the future will be the biggest obstacle to cultivation.
Of course, Erniu also understands that all the changes in the family are all because of Xiaoding. Therefore, she has become more and more attached to Xiaoding, and now it has reached the point of death.
In fact, she spends very little time with Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding started going to the battlefield last winter, and this year he left home for more than half a year.
However, it was these just a few months of time together that made Erniu regard Xiao Ding as a treasure. She was already influenced by the feudal ideology of this era, and the idea of "marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog" has long been deeply rooted in her heart.
Originally, she was young and ignorant of love, and was sold cheaply by her family to a fool of the Tian family as a daughter-in-law. At that time, she thought that she would never be happy in her life. However, after marrying into the Tian family, she saw that although the fool's brain was not very bright, he was not bad. Although the Tian family is poor, in fact, her family is not much better.
Later, Xiao Ding crossed over and replaced the fool, although the second girl also found a little different, but she didn't expect that her husband would be replaced by others. After all, after she got married, the fool slept on the haystack for almost half a year, and the two of them sat at the same table when they were eating, so that they could have the opportunity to say a few words.
Therefore, after the second girl got married, she had a closer relationship with Xiao'e. And after Xiao Ding crossed over, the two have been living together, although they have not yet rounded the house, but in the hearts of the second girl, the two have lived together, and they are already husband and wife. It's not going to change in this life. Moreover, since Xiaoding's arrival, the family has begun to change slowly.
Erniu suddenly found that the fool she married sometimes seemed to be smarter than other normal people. He not only designs comfortable underwear styles for himself, but also knows how to take care of people, and the rouge gouache he wants, just a simple mention, Xianggong bought it back the next day.
In addition, those things such as buying land and building houses, growing vegetables in greenhouses, etc., are all obvious to everyone. With such a capable father-in-law, where can I find it myself? I was able to marry my husband, but now it has become a blessing from my previous life. Xianggong is now a marquis, so isn't he a marquis?
Thinking of this, Erniu's heart is full of beauty.
If only I could break through the fourth layer of Qi training earlier. The second girl said secretly in her heart.
Thinking of this, her little face couldn't help but blush, and then she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Ding, who was eating, and asked, "Xianggong, you said that you have an elixir that can help me break through the exercises, when are you going to give it to me?" ”
Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment, glanced at Erniu, and then teased: "Erniu, can't you wait?" Do you want to break through the exercises so much? ”
The second girl had a ruddy face, lowered her head shyly, and whispered: "Of course people want to, I still want to give you a baby as soon as possible?" ”
Xiao Ding already knew that Erniu was thinking about this, and it was not good to touch her mind, so he said: "Since you are so anxious, I will give you the pill after eating in a while." ”
When the second girl heard this, her face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you!" ”
It didn't take long for the two to finish their lunch. The second girl collected the dishes and tableware together as usual and prepared to carry them down the mountain.
Xiao Ding stopped Erniu and said, "You can wash the dishes in the canal on the top of the mountain, and then after taking the pill, it's not too late to take them down the mountain." ”
The second girl was surprised: "Xianggong, are you going to give me the elixir now?" ”
Xiao Ding nodded and looked at the second girl with a smile.
The second girl lifted the basket containing the food box, quickly went out the door, and went straight to the canal at the top of the mountain.
After she quickly cleaned the plates and bowls and other utensils collected in the food box, she returned to the stone house, put the basket in the kitchen, and couldn't wait to come to Xiaoding, and said excitedly: "Xianggong, I'm done washing the dishes." ”
Xiao Ding knew what she meant: "Give me the elixir!" ”。
So, Xiao Ding's mind moved, and he immediately took out the bottle containing the Chilian Yandan from the jade pendant space, poured out a red pill from it, handed it to Erniu and said, you take it first, and then we will go to the kang in the bedroom, you meditate and refine the medicinal power, and I will help you protect the Fa. ”
Erniu took the pill, nodded obediently, and then swallowed the pill into her mouth.
The Red Lian Yan Pill is made of Red Refining Yan Fruit as the main medicine, which melts in the mouth, and has a fruity sweet atmosphere.
The second girl only felt that there was a line of fire flowing directly into her abdomen from her mouth. She hurriedly walked into the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the hot kang, and began to run the exercises that Xiao Ding taught him to refine the medicinal power.
Xiao Ding has helped people protect the Dharma many times and has already gained experience.
Therefore, even if the second girl's skills are still shallow at this time, her physical body can't resist the cauterization of the medicinal power. But Xiao Ding now has deep spiritual power, and with him on the side, there is no big problem.
It's just that the second girl needs to endure the physical torment and get through it, that is, she will be reborn from the cocoon and go further. If you can't get through it, you may have your body destroyed, your fragrance will be damaged, or you will be left with some sequelae. After all, the medicinal power of this Red Lian Yan Pill was still very violent.
When Xiao Ding took the Red Refining Flame Fruit, he almost burned his body. If he hadn't gritted his teeth and persevered to the end, maybe he would have turned into a pinch of dust.
Now the second girl, there is Xiao Ding next to her to protect the Dharma, Xiao Ding naturally will not let the second girl come to danger. Therefore, as long as he finds that Erniu can't hold on, he will take action in time to help Erniu repair the meridians burned by the medicinal power, and help her refine the medicinal power.
Even so, the second girl was already soaked with sweat at this time. Her body was sometimes burned by the power of the medicine and she was shivering.
Xiao Ding knew that this was all a normal performance.
If you can improve the exercises by taking a pill casually, it is too simple, you know, this is equivalent to pulling out the seedlings to help grow! Unless it's an immortal medicine, otherwise, where can it be so easy.
The path of cultivation is to go against the sky. If it were that simple, wouldn't the immortals in this world be overcrowded.
Therefore, if you want to improve, and you want not to endure the pain, there should be no such thing in this world.
Everything in the world follows the general logic of "only by giving can you reap". No one can succeed casually. The same is true for cultivation, either you have to spend time and energy to practice diligently; Either endure the torture of the medicinal power and take shortcuts to improve the exercises.
With Xiao Ding's protector, Er Niu will not be in danger, so in the end, the exercise will be improved, and it will be a matter of course.
After half a day and a whole night of refining medicinal power, Er Niu finally managed to break through the next morning and entered the second layer of the Qi training period.
She was the same as the civet cat, after entering the second layer of qi training, there were no small spells in her mind.
Because the clothes on her body at this time were already soaked with sweat, and her body was washed by the medicinal power, and a lot of impurities were also discharged, so Xiao Ding first asked her to take a bath in the hot spring in the cave behind, and when she came back, Xiao Ding was ready to teach her those few small spells.
At this time, Erniu felt as if her body had been reborn after death. Where would she have thought that this elixir would be so domineering that it almost burned her body to ashes. If Xiao Ding hadn't come over to help from time to time, she believed that with her little spiritual power, she would definitely not be able to get through it.
The second girl also felt sticky and greasy on her body, and there was an unpleasant smell. I also followed Xiao Ding's advice and went to the cave behind to soak in the hot springs.
From yesterday afternoon to this morning, the two of them have been refining the medicinal power, and the water and rice have not entered. At this time, Xiao Ding's belly was already protesting.
Last night, Xiao'e brought food to bring dinner to the two. When she saw Xiao Ding and Er Niu practicing together, she didn't bother.
Ding told her to put the food box in the hall first.
Xiao'e said that she had also recently felt gas entering her dantian.
This made Xiao Ding also feel very surprised. Unexpectedly, Xiao'e was about to enter the threshold of the Qi refining period.
In fact, Xiao'e's cultivation speed is still far worse than that of Erniu. At the beginning, she was the first to follow Erniu to learn Xiaoding's set of exercises, Erniu had successfully introduced qi into the body very early, but Xiao'e had been practicing for almost a year, and then she felt that there was qi entering the body.
And the rest of the family has even worse cultivation talents, except for Xiao'e, there is no one else who can feel the qi.
Also following Erniu to learn this exercise are Li, Xiao'e and Xiaozhu'er. As for Tian Dabao, Zhao Laixi and Xiaofu, they didn't learn. One is that Xiao Ding doesn't have time to teach them, and the other is that the second girl is a female dependent, so it is inconvenient to get too close to Zhao Laixi and Xiaofu.
Xiaoya has taught Zhao Laixi, but Xiaoya herself doesn't understand how well she learns, and if she teaches Zhao Laixi again, she can't understand it. As for Zhao Laixi, after learning from Xiaoya a few times, he never got the essentials, and he lost his interest. In addition, he usually manages all the things of the Tian family, and he is also relatively busy, so he does not insist on studying.
Xiao Fu didn't have the opportunity to learn Xiao Ding's exercises, but he did follow the Ou brothers and sisters to learn some of the introductory moves of the Ou family's martial arts. He is the same age as Ou Mulin, and since Ou Muyun started to revolve around Xiao'e's ass all day long, Xiaofu's daily playmates have been replaced by Ou Mulin and Xiaozhu'er.
Until he was sent by Xiao Ding to Zixia Academy in Luoxia County, he had been playing with Ou Mulin and the others.
After all, Xiao Zhu'er is still young, although she has also learned the exercises, but there are a lot of professional knowledge involved in this exercise, such as meridians, acupuncture points, dantians, etc., and she still can't completely understand what they are, so her progress is also very limited.
Xiao Zhu'er, Xiao Ya, and Li's family, after a few of them practiced the exercises, their bodies have only improved to a certain extent, and they usually don't easily get contaminated with minor illnesses such as wind and cold, and Li's old diseases before are now easily gone. Plus the diet at home has improved. The Tian family, who was weak before, is now starting to gain weight. The physical fitness has also improved a lot.
Xiao Ding heard that Xiao'e had now successfully induced qi into her body, and he was happy for her, but he didn't plan to let him take the Chilian Yandan immediately, after all, with Xiao'e's cultivation at this time, he still couldn't take the Chilian Yandan.
Tell Xiao'e to put the food in the hall first, Xiao'e doesn't bother them, turns around and goes down the mountain.
