Volume 1 Ending in the Human Realm Chapter 12 The Expectation of Crossing the Hongqiao
In the pale world, Liu Buyi stood alone in place, this is a world without the slightest life, as if everything is dead, broken walls, not desolate, there is gray smoke rising, rippling in the space, Liu Buyi rubbed his eyes, he looked around.
And at this moment, a rainbow bridge fell from the sky in front of him, spreading in front of Liu Buyi, Liu Buyi is very familiar with this rainbow bridge, he once walked on the bridge under the leadership of Mr. Yuxuan.
"Come up!" A gentle figure came from the end of the rainbow bridge, Liu Yi could not easily look, and could only see a white light at the end of the rainbow bridge, the white light was very soft, making him feel kind.
Liu Buyi hesitated for a moment, and finally he took a step, Mr. said, don't think too much at the moment, Liu Buyi thought in his heart.
Hongqiao is like a stone road, it feels very solid, but it is like a river, every time Liu Buyi takes a step, there is a rippling colored light like water waves under his feet, this feeling is very wonderful, Liu Buyi tries to take a bigger step, and the feeling of rippling water waves becomes more and more obvious.
The figure at the end of the rainbow bridge pursed his lips and chuckled when he saw this, this kid is also weird and interesting! The figure thought in his heart.
Just when Liu Buyi walked to the fourth quarter of the Hongqiao, a voice came, "You stand in place!"
Liu Buyi did so, he stared ahead, as if looking for the person who spoke, or the immortal.
"With your current body, you can't finish this Hongqiao, let alone cross the Hongqiao to meet me!" the figure said.
Liu Buyi stood in silence, in fact, he was thinking in his heart, why do I have to come to see you, but he didn't say it.
That figure seemed to guess what Liu Buyi was thinking, "If you want to live, crossing the Hongqiao to see me is the only way!"
Liu Buyi's whole body was shocked, obviously this person's words reached his heart, after hearing Mr. Yu's words, Liu Buyi believed that he would not live to be sixteen years old, at this moment, this person's words undoubtedly made him more convinced, and the person who spoke at the end of the Hongqiao said that he had a way to let me live?
"How can I cross the Hongqiao?" Liu Buyi stood still and thought about it, and then said.
"It's very simple, you only need to become a cultivator of the Ten Ranks, and you are qualified to cross the Hongqiao to meet me. The figure said.
"Become a ten-rank cultivator?" Liu Buyi muttered, he didn't even know the concept of the ten-rank at the moment, and he didn't know what to do at all.
"The cultivators in the world are nothing more than ten grades, from bottom to top, ten grades of martial arts, nine grades of Taoism, eight grades of talents, seven grades of extraordinary, six grades of supernatural powers, five grades of excellence, four grades of the world, three grades of heaven, two grades of avenues, and one grade of rivers and mountains. The figure explained for Liu Buyi.
"Ten rank martial arts, whether it is martial cultivation or spiritual cultivation, the first step is to temper the body's qi veins, martial arts to cultivate yang veins, sense the qi of heaven and earth, spiritual cultivation of yin veins, gather the spirits of heaven and earth, and this is the first step of cultivators!"
Liu Buyi nodded, but the figure continued: "Your body's qi and veins are all broken, your aura is not passable, and you can't practice congenitally, so for you, this first step is like a moat." ”
Liu Buyi listened silently, without showing any expression.
"But fortunately, that jade pick has taught you a set of boxing techniques, this set of boxing techniques is of great significance to you, you can finish 10,000 punches first, and then go to talk about cultivation!"
Liu Buyi was a little silent, he silently retreated from the Hongqiao, but the figure at the end of the Hongqiao stared at him and stopped talking, even though he knew that this moment was a particularly uncomfortable moment for this child.
"Just do it, I'll be waiting for you here!" The light curtain flowed, and the figure spoke gently, and this trace of voice came into Liu Buyi's ears like a heavenly sound.
Liu Buyi, who got up from the bed, his eyes were extremely firm, although he was still in a fog about cultivation, but at this moment he had a clear direction, and he finished 10,000 punches first.
He thought of the scene when his grandfather passed away, because he had no money, he picked up stones on the side of the mountain, in order to build a grave for his grandfather, he moved sixty-five stones heavier than his own weight in one summer, and now it is much easier to practice boxing.
After getting up and washing, Liu Buyi was cooking in the pot, and he practiced outside the yard, the first time was a little slow, delayed for some time, Liu Buyi stopped and thought about it, and the speed of the second time was a lot faster.
Liu Buyi, who has practiced twice, is pale at the moment, he feels that his breathing is a little tight, and he has a feeling of dizziness, Liu Buyi's physique is not weak, all year round, he rarely catches a cold, and he feels that because he often works, his physical fitness is okay, but now he has only practiced twice, and he feels that the whole person is about to fall.
In fact, it is not to blame that Liu Buyi's body is not good, the fundamental reason is that Liu Buyi's qi veins are all broken, and the breath does not run smoothly, so all parts of the body are in a state of load.
Liu Buyi, who had rested for a long time, had the strength to do other things.
Looking at Liu Buyi's back, Mr. Yu picked up in the school and gently wrote two words on the white rice paper - "Good beginning!"
Many things, the beginning is difficult, the process is also difficult, in the end, persistence is more difficult, for Liu Buyi, the biggest test of life, has quietly come, whether he can grasp it, related to the fate of his life.
For example, if you are asked to write a word 10,000 times, it is boring and rigid, and many people can't do it! If you can't even fight this 10,000 punches, then how can you get 100,000 or a million punches?
The greater the blessing, the greater the test, if the red carp is just the simplest test, then the ten thousand punches are directed at the hearts of the people, which is a test that takes time to witness.
Yu is waiting, that person is waiting, they are all waiting, waiting for what? Waiting for Liu Buyi to finish this ten thousand punches, waiting for the world to slowly get better.
The memorial arch of Qingshui Village is located at the entrance of the village in the east of the village, it is a long card of two zhang high, three zhang wide, under the roof of the mountain type, the word Qingshui is engraved, the archway pillar is that kind of white jade pillar, some years are completed, the plaque is that kind of red lacquered wood, faint and red.
On the top of the archway, there is a pagoda with a stone shape, although it is not eye-catching, but it does look quite solemn, the eaves are square, there are four stone beasts squatting on the top of each one, sixteen stone beasts are different, they face the four directions, they look majestic.
Qian Defa, the second young master of the Qian family, is a child of about ten years old, he is a very special existence in the village, he usually doesn't like to talk, when he has nothing to do, he likes to squat not far from the archway, looking at the pagoda at the top of the archway, the stone beast is in a daze, sometimes he will drool over the bright red money on the plaque, and some people call him a fool in private.
However, this title is only circulated among children.
Compared with the second young master of the Qian family, the eldest young master of the Qian family, Qian Shutong, is much more normal, this fourteen-year-old young man, he likes to visit the cemetery very much, and he can often be seen in the area of the rabbit slope, someone has seen that this guy spent the night alone under the big locust tree in the cemetery, and I don't know if this thing is true or not, but since then, few people dare to provoke this young master of the Qian family, obviously a fourteen-year-old boy dares to spend the night alone in the cemetery, and not to say whether it is true or false, this courage is not comparable to ordinary people.
The rain in the valley is coming, the rain is coming, many people in Qingshui Village are busy, and Liu Buyi is also busy.
The crops in his own field need to be taken care of by himself, he herded the cows, returned home, in addition to normal work, he still has to go to the field to weed, plough the ground, the potatoes have grown lush and lush, peppers can even be picked, Liu Buyi also picked some yesterday, sent some to Huang Tingyu's three families, the tomatoes planted on the other side are also blooming, and the vegetable garden is thriving.
On this day of Gu Yu, there is a custom in the village, will go to the village together under the oldest big locust tree to worship, people in this day, do not have to do anything, is to squat under the big locust tree, or rest, or pray, adults like to write their wishes on the red cloth, and then tie it with a stone, throw it on the branches and leaves of the big locust tree to hang, for a long time, the big locust tree is red, it is the most simple wish in the hearts of the villagers of Qingshui Village.
Children, on the other hand, play games.
There has always been a saying in the village that the big locust tree is the ancestral tree of the village, and the ancestors of Qingshui Village all stand on the tree, sheltering the entire Qingshui Village and blessing the men, women and children in the village.
And these ancestors are especially precious to these children, so when these children pray to the big locust tree, the big locust tree will drop how many leaves according to the blessing of each child, the more leaves indicate that the blessing is deep, and the less leaves means that the blessing is thin.
This year is no exception.
Liu Buyi, Huang Tingyu, Hou Qing, Gu Li and other twenty or thirty children in the village gathered under the big locust tree, this is a grand event, even the young masters and young ladies of the Li family, the Qian family, and the Long family also joined in.
Each child stands in one direction and prays to the locust tree, and after a few moments, they are answered.
The huge locust tree shades the sky and the sun, between the lush branches and leaves, there is a faint green fluorescence swaying, the branches also become a little crystalline, the leaves and veins of the locust tree are blurred, and the pale green halo can be faintly seen flowing like flowing water.
Liu Buyi didn't have much expectations for this game, but he liked to see his friends smile happily, the three of the Li family, the Guli sisters and brothers, Huang Tingyu, Hou Qing and others, they would have a harvest every year, and every time they would laugh very happily.
This time, without exception, all the children in the village have gained, but Liu Buyi has not, in fact, Liu Buyi is standing in it, it is a little out of place, but Huang Tingyu and others surrounded him in the middle, and each handed out a locust leaf in his hand.
"It's not easy, let's try it again next year, I believe you will have a lot of leaves!" said Huang Tingyu here.
Liu Buyi has heard this many times, since he was a child, he may not have expectations for the big locust tree, but there is still awe in his heart, at least it shelters his grandfather's grave.
The sky was hazy, and Liu Buyi, who came home from outside, looked at the locust leaves in his hand, and was still a little disappointed.
He found that the leaves of the Coulee could be preserved for a long time, and the green inside would not fade, but his leaves would begin to wither when he got his hands, and when he returned home, the leaves had withered and yellowed like pickles, Liu Buyi really couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dwell on this problem, the weather was slightly cool, summer was coming, and it was suitable to fight it two sets of punches at this moment.
In the gray rain and fog, the figure of the young man sometimes stands, sometimes squats, sometimes stands upside down, the young man's face has sweat, compared to before, the current Liu Buyi has calmly finished a set of punches, when the seventh type is finished, Liu Buyi lies under the eaves of his house, looking at the boundless rain curtain, he exhales a breath of turbidity, Liu Buyi calculated, he has finished playing six hundred times.
After these 600 times, Liu Buyi had a deeper understanding of the set of boxing techniques passed on to him by Mr. Yuzhu, and he found that his whole body seemed to have begun to change slightly, although he couldn't tell where this change was.
In the school, Mr. Yu Zhu watched the fire clearly, and he could clearly see that the dilapidated house in the past seemed to be redecorating now, and it was gradually improving.
The figure above the canopy nodded slightly, just like the seeds planted by the villagers, beginning to sprout, waiting for growth, is the best expectation, maybe this process will be a little long, but hard work, the sky does not pay!
