The rooster crows before dawn, and Li Ci wakes up before the rooster's crow, facing a white fishing line on the horizon and begins to spit out and practice, until the red sun rises in the east.

Stretching out, he got up.

Although this kind of authentic breathing method does not help to increase luck, it is not inferior to the art of fighting and martial arts.

Since Li Ci practiced diligently, he only felt refreshed, even if he slept less, his energy was very abundant.

However, this superficial effect is still a few points worse than the effect of the superior's luck condensation, the saint tomorrow sleepless night and deal with political affairs, there is no ghost god to bless, the jade girl to serve, protect the dragon's health, in order to obtain a little bit of luck to protect the dragon.

Although they are ghosts and gods, they are really pitiful.

This is called the return of all people, and the command of heaven.

Li Ci thought about this kind of mysterious and mysterious things recorded in the ancient books, and it was not enough to review the cultivation. But it's really good, and it's too ambitious.

Li Ci was thinking about his gains and losses, but he didn't see a little girl with a linen face towel sneaking into the courtyard on tiptoe and coming to Li Ci's side, just about to scare him.

But after all, he has been practicing the art of breathing for a long time, and he has the blessing of luck that is slightly stronger than that of ordinary grass people, and his ears and eyes are clear, waiting for the little girl to approach within five steps in front of him, even if he didn't make any sound, Li Ci had already noticed it.

But he didn't speak, but with a light smile, he suddenly turned around with a "frightened" sound, which startled the girl.

Then the girl's exposed watery eyes hid a few steps to the side with a slightly angry look, and grumbled angrily

"Pig killer, you're really boring......"

Li Xi smiled cleanly and thoughtlessly, and then coaxed a child to grab the dried fruits on the mountain from the dustpan to dry and handed them over.

Seeing that the little girl who was only seven or eight years old took it unceremoniously, she was still angry and didn't speak.

sat at a position that was only an arm's length away from Li Ci, staring at a pair of eyes that were not beautiful but very aura.

Li Ci is good-natured to accompany him, compared to the pure goodness that he pretends to be in the village on weekdays, he still has a lot of sincere kindness and love in front of this child.

The child's name is Xia Cao, and she is a girl from a poor family nearby, her father went early, and the mother and daughter depend on each other. Because her mother refused to leave her daughter and remarry, and half of Xia Cao's face was poisonous, other families were not willing to ask for an oil bottle. Naturally, it was delayed.

Mother and daughter barely survive on a little thin field, although Xia Cao is young, but in such a family's world, there is no way not to be precocious, knowing that he is dragging down his mother, so he only eats half full at each meal, but he says that he is full, and the little child takes on a lot of chores at home alone, but he never wants to cry or complain.

This kind of thing can remind Li Ci of her sick sister in her previous life. When I was admitted to that school, I was carried by my father to see off my child at the station, and I looked at myself with a smile with eyes as clean as Xia Cao, and I was happy for myself.

Li Ci is very relieved to see such a familiar gaze in a place where things are not people, and he can't help but feel a little more sincere pity for Xia Cao, and often leaves her some food and even game corners, and tells some fairy tales from her previous life...... Help with chores

After going back and forth for more than a year, this girl has become very clingy.

So getting along with Li Ci also shows a bit of naughtiness commensurate with her age,

When he was angry, he directly asked him to kill the pig. Li Ci was naturally not annoyed, and sometimes explained to himself with a smile that he could also kill roe deer, hares, cattle and sheep, not only pigs.

Although Xia Cao is not yet nine years old, she is very obedient and skilled, and many village women are sorry for talking and doing things, if it weren't for the poisonous swelling on that face, she must be asked to be her daughter-in-law.

They have never seen this girl look a little rude now.

pouted and stuffed the nuts into Li Ci's hands, and had to let Li Ci peel them before eating.

Li Ci's strength is much greater than that of children of the same age, and the skin of this nut is already cracked after the sun, and his hands are strong, and it will not be long before it is a small pile of nuts.

While stuffing it back, he gave Xia Cao a pleasing look, and it was still a normal person with gray in the middle, and the life pool was even smaller than Li Xi. But the little sickness that was vaguely entangled before is indeed gone, which means that her body is better than a few days ago.

Li Xi was very surprised, you must know that Xia Cao is not a temporary disease such as typhoid fever, but a deep and small disease caused by malnutrition and hard work since childhood, even if it is okay to live, but the body is really poor, and it is not as lively as children of the same age.

Even if Bian Que is reborn, there is absolutely no reason to suddenly return to the level of a normal person, but after carefully looking at it with Wangqizai, there is indeed nothing abnormal, and the original sallow face also has a tendency to become a little moisturized.

I was very strange in my heart, and I was about to ask, but Xia Cao came over a little mysteriously. Whispered:

"Pig killer, I tell you, I dreamed of a fairy the night before yesterday, and she told me to go to her tonight...... And then I woke up and found this ...... in my hand."

The girl approached, and the covered Ge cloth rubbed on Li Ci's face, a little itchy, but Li Ci looked at a small iron plate in Xia Cao's little hand in surprise.

In addition to a few simple patterns on it, it is just a piece of dark iron, the kind that no one picked up when it is thrown to the ground, but it is completely different in the eyes of Li Ci, this iron plate is surrounded by a shallow white gas, although it is only a shallow point, but it shows that it is not a mortal thing

Almost instantly, Li Xi thought of the temple in the village that was about to collapse, and Xia Cao was still mysteriously saying:

"It's a real spirit, after I woke up from a dream, I felt a little lighter, and my spirit was better than before......"

"That's really a good thing, it must be that the gods feel sorry for you as a good girl, so they came to you on purpose...... Maybe I'll take you to be a god together......"

Li Ci retracted her thoughts, smiled and gently reached out and rubbed Xia Cao's hair, causing her to pout and glare at him. Li Ci hesitated in his heart

"Although in the past and present lives, I have not heard of the Han Dynasty having ghosts and gods to disturb the people, but now after all, the Han Dynasty is declining, and there may be evil gods who are making trouble, or the little gods are calculating, I really don't know if it is a blessing or a curse for this girl......"

When the thought came to this, he wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but he didn't want Xia Cao to suddenly stuff the iron card into his hand.

Xiao Xiao whispered: "Oh, you invited me to eat nuts, I'll give you this ......"

Xia Cao raised her little head slightly, looking at Li Ci with a stunned expression, her hair sticking to her sallow and thin face, her eyebrows were low, and her voice was almost inaudible:

"Since I was a child, except for my mother, only you have been good to me, give me meat to eat, tell me stories, help me clean, comfort me, and I have always been grateful to you in my heart......

But I don't have anything good to come up with...... But this is really a fairy ......."

Sensing Li Ci's gaze, Xia Cao was afraid that Li Ci would think that this thing was a tattered thing, so she explained a little anxiously.

saw Li Ci's good-looking face full of warm smiles, and his voice was joking: "Such a good thing, if you give it to me, I won't return it......"

Xia Cao was stunned for a moment, and then her gloomy eyes slowly revealed a bit of crystalline brilliance, and then nodded vigorously.

It was still early, and Li Ci began to chat with Xia Cao about some daily trivial things when he had nothing to do.

Zhang's family, Li Jia's short, ninety percent of it was Xia Cao who was talking, Li Ci only occasionally smiled and added a few words, and in a blink of an eye, Xia Cao reacted and complained softly:

"Oh, I'm going back to do my work, next time I'll bring you my dried wild fruits, they're sweet and sour......"

Then he got up very well, put down his cloth skirt, and said goodbye and left. When I walked out for a certain distance, my regular walking posture became a little excited, like a little beast in a good mood.

Li Ci looked at the back of this girl walking away with a smile, clutched the black iron card, and exhaled leisurely,

Originally, before obtaining the position of village head, Li Xi didn't want to provoke it.

However, since it has found the head of summer grass, it has its own number of days in the dark. If you miss this time, there will be no cause and effect with it in the future.

Although I don't know what the ghosts and gods here are calculating, but with the dozen or so killing character urns that I have accumulated, I won't be too embarrassed by it that has been broken for more than ten years, so it doesn't hurt to go through it for Xia Cao to see if it can be solved, so as not to let such a child be left in his heart by a feminine object.

Li Ci had a plan in his heart, and his heart suddenly opened up, there was not much worry left, but there was a bit of complicated excitement and expectation.

Due to the diligent work in recent days, several live animals put here have been cleaned up, and it is very idle for a while.

Take the big bones and mix them with wild vegetables to boil a pot, and then put a little white salt in the market, although it is not as fine as the later generations, but the taste seems to be better. I warmed up the leftover bread from yesterday, and it tasted a little bit.

In such a barren village, everyone is just barely able to make ends meet, not to mention now, it is the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and the average number of people in the world is only enough to eat.

As for Li Xi's kind of food that can bring meat from time to time, it is really rare for ordinary people, which makes him very glad to go into the mountain with Orion, a body in his early tens, if there is no such high-protein and fatty meat supplement, it will be a disaster.

When the body is not grown, it is easy to fall into congenital deficiencies, which affects physical strength and spirit, and even longevity.

In fact, Li Xi originally had the intention of beating the big guy and accumulating talismans.

But I found that everything in the mountains was very wild, I didn't hone my skills in the sleeve and bow and arrow for a long time, and I didn't have a good dog at home, so I basically had to go home empty-handed, and those beasts were not like the ones tied on the chopping board, and they were generally killed if they were killed, but they were far better than children of the same age by virtue of their skills, and Li Ci could hunt meat for a day or two every time he entered the mountains.

As for the recent practice, although I have also learned to practice bows and arrows and sets, after all, I am not a beginner at present.

Of course, Li Ci was not willing to waste too much time on such trivial techniques, which was also one of the reasons for the slow progress, sighed and cleaned up the dishes, and took out a missing page of "Spring and Autumn" from under the stone pillow and flipped it.

A Maocai or even a boy in the township is a character who can make the most beautiful girl in the village upside down.

However, in this kind of world dominated by the inspection system, there is no way for the lower-class people to advance, and occasionally there is a common boy Maocai, which is absolutely slim compared to the base number of the people in the world.

Therefore, if any child has to say that he reads, he will definitely be regarded as a son of a child by his father and mother in the family.

But in Li Xi's opinion, it is absolutely feasible to think that the world is important to cultivate a name for his article talent, even if the family gate valve has seized the vast majority of the official positions in the upper echelons, but after all, this is a brilliant era in which the white-clothed Qianshou can leap to the door.

After all, the legacy of Spring and Autumn will not be dissipated in a few hundred years. The clan gate valve will not be able to dominate the world.

I exchanged two rabbits for a "Spring and Autumn Period" used by the village doctor to cushion the table, and wrote eighty or ninety percent of the "Analects" from memory, as well as the famous Confucian texts accumulated in bits and pieces.

The reason why it is so cumbersome and unfortunate is because Li Ci sadly found that it was definitely more difficult to find all the Confucian books that should be read in the hundreds of miles around here than it was to marry a virtuous and medium-looking girl.

From the perspective of information sharing, it is really impossible to compare with the modern society that can find a large number of relevant information in seconds, which makes Li Ci quite helpless.

In order to settle for the second, he wrote down the famous passages of this era from memory, carefully scrutinized his literary style, tried to combine the experience and accumulation of several eras in later generations, as well as the changes in the later world, to write something that was either satisfactory or unsatisfactory, and then destroyed them all. This is Li Ci's little pastime that he has enjoyed himself in the past six months.

Although it is not of much use to feel that it is not very useful, at least it is not a pure wasted life.

Just as he was reviewing his rebirth for almost two years, whether the difference between gain and loss was a waste, he heard a rough voice shouting outside the door

"Is the Li kid here?"

Li Ci stretched out his hand and stuffed the book back under the pillow, opened the door and looked, it was a middle-aged man with a strong body standing in his small courtyard and shouting.

It was Zhang Niu, the hunter of the nearby neighbor's house, who didn't have a deep friendship on weekdays, but the old bow that Li Ci had fiddled with recently was given by this person.

Li Ci changed his smile and went out to greet him: "Uncle Zhang, what's the matter?" ”

There is a bit of horizontal meat on the yellow and black face, the shoulders are big and the waist is round and strong, but Zhang Niu, who is not too tall, looked at Li Ci and nodded secretly, I just think that this child is more spiritually sensible than his own bastard, but it is not in vain that he teaches him to set rabbits.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Niu's voice was thick and low, a little hoarse, and he went straight to the point:

"In a few days, we and a few hunters from the neighboring villages are going to enter the mountains, there are big things, it is definitely not easy to fiddle with, if you go, you may hurt some flesh and skin, of course, you don't need to go to the front, just a few clever hands, dare to come? The reward is that the roe deer you put here yesterday will share half of your ......."

Li Xi pondered for a moment, and looked at Zhang Niu, the man's eyes were full of energy, and the life pool was the vigorous gray gas of a person in his prime, and there was no black omen, on the other hand, his life pool was also full of gray and white gas, and there was no disaster. Then there's nothing to do

According to the current market price of roe deer meat, that half of the roe deer can be exchanged for a month's miscellaneous expenses, and it is cost-effective.

What's more, the three words of that big thing really poked Li Ci's itch, at least it had to be a tiger and leopard beast, if it was killed by himself, it would be a big benefit.

If you are lucky enough to condense into a light golden killing ring, you can at least have a sharp attack equivalent to the blow of the top fierce general of this period. So even if he faces an ordinary junior general-level officer, with this eleven-year-old weak body, he may take advantage of his unpreparedness to kill him, which is the confidence to save his life in troubled times.

As for the luck of encountering a beast with a little climate, and getting lucky to get some of its luck, I didn't dare to think about it, but this is too tempting.

So after hesitating for a moment, he readily agreed: "I'll go, I'll prepare some things first, and when I leave, uncle, you call me ......."

"Tsk, that's it, I still have to go to another village to cage people, let's go......"

Zhang Niu is also a cheerful man, and he left as soon as he greeted the urn.

"It seems that there is a big move this time......"

Li Ci looked at the man's back thoughtfully, turned around and walked into the room.

The day passed in a hurry, and before I knew it, it was night.

Li Ci looked at the iron card given by Xia Cao on the table, half the size of a palm, and it vibrated gently like a mosquito and fly shaking its wings.

You don't have to use the art of looking at qi, you can see it glowing with a faint and cold glow in the dark night, and it makes a somewhat frightening trembling sound when it hits the table like a living thing

If you look at it with hope, it is just a wisp of gray qi without roots running and moving, just a trick of the little ghosts and gods, so that ordinary people can know how powerful, and they will be more respectful and respectful.

However, even the emperor who gathered purple qi from the yang world could not complete the small technique that this little ghost god with a white grid position could exercise. You have to incarnate as a Yin God after death to obtain the divine power that matches the number of qi.

The difference between yin and yang has its own heaven and earth limitations.

Li Ci came to the courtyard with the trembling iron card and pondered for a moment, stretched out his palm, and thought about it, hoping that the Qi Technique could see that more than a dozen red killing seals were hovering and floating between the ten fingers, spinning into a mysterious trajectory.

I found some old incense left over from last year's offerings.

Sink your heart and follow the guidance of the iron plate in the dark, and rush to run.

All the way over, I just happened to see the road clearly under the moonlight, the village was already small, so I clearly recognized that the road that the iron plate was guiding was the abandoned small temple that Li Ci had checked, and Li Ci unconsciously accelerated his pace.

After three or two moments, the eaves of the temple were already in sight, but the trembling halo of the iron plate suddenly disappeared without a trace, and there was no longer that kind of guidance from the underworld.

Li Ci stopped and waited for a while, but maybe the ghosts and gods in the temple noticed that the person who came was not Xia Cao, and Tiepai still didn't react at all, obviously rejecting Li Ci's arrival.

Although he understood this, after Li Qi hesitated, he still stubbornly walked there.

After walking more than fifty steps, with the help of the technique of looking at qi, he could already see wisps of pure white mixed with pale red qi luck cage in a small area, which invisibly caused a small resistance to Li Ci who was approaching.

In fact, Li Ci is strong in blood after all, and he is a living creature in the yang world, if it weren't for the fact that the yin qi at night is very heavy at this time, and Li Ci has an iron card in his hand, he would not have been like this, so even if he feels that the blood is tumbling and he is a little dizzy, he can still bear it.

However, as a young man under modern scientific education, although he has experienced rebirth, he has also seen all kinds of miracles such as snakes and corpses and red lotuses, and that ancient book of hundreds of thousands of words describes the word ghosts and gods in detail as real as lackeys on the ground.

But thinking of seeing this kind of creature, Li Ci couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart.

gritted his teeth and walked through the temple door, but he felt that a layer of diaphragm had been broken in the dark, and all the discomfort and pressure disappeared abruptly, and his body was light. I heard a woman's sigh in my ear.
