Chapter 8: Alternative Practice

Immortal Peak, that is, the residence of the legendary lonely immortal, has almost been turned around by Chen Xiaoyi. It turned out that behind the three huts there were still three points of vegetable land and half an acre of farmland. But this is not enough to surprise it, it can only be said to be unexpected. Who would have thought that a lonely immortal who is as high as a god and has endless legends would actually farm and grow vegetables.

If you say this, I'm afraid you won't even believe in ghosts, but Chen Xiaoyi really saw it. He asked the immortal soul curiously, but the answer he got was that this was the tradition of the lonely immortal lineage. Chen Xiaoyi was speechless, which immortal would farm and grow vegetables, there was no appearance of a fairy at all, no wonder the Lonely Immortal Temple was broken like that, and no one cared about it.

At this time, the fairy soul told him that from now on, those fields were under his control, and he could grow whatever he wanted. If you are lazy, you will starve to death in the mountains. There are still some grains on the mountain, and Chen Xiaoyi can take out some of them and eat them, and sprinkle the rest into the ground.

Chen Xiaoyi stood on the ground for a long time, and began to wonder if he had been fooled. Is this really the legendary Immortal Peak, the residence of the Lonely Immortal Master?

It can't be cheated!

Chen Xiaoyi came to the hut and looked in the direction of Guxian Town for a long time. He had looked at the Immortal Peak in the Lonely Immortal Temple many times, and this direction should be correct. Looking at the distance between this immortal peak and the other peaks of the Nangu Mountain Range, it is also correct. But he still refused to believe all this, so he went around to the back of the house again.

He always felt that there must be some places on this mountain that he had not been to, so he searched everywhere. Sure enough, a small crack was found between the two rocks behind the vegetable patch after a while. The crack was less than three feet wide, and could only fit one person through. And there were tall and lush weeds outside, and if he hadn't looked carefully, it would have been difficult to find.

Chen Xiaoyi picked up the weeds and was about to go inside to find out, but at this time, the immortal spirit suddenly appeared and blocked the front. He still looked indifferent, staring at Chen Xiaoyi with mirror-like eyes, and said, "You can't go to the back mountain yet." ”。 Chen Xiaoyi was stunned for a while, and could only leave obediently.

Since that day, Chen Xiaoyi has been driven to the field and began to cultivate his life. The fairy spirit stood on the ground, both as an overseer and occasionally as a guide. Chen Xiaoyi has been begging for a living since he was a child, and he can be regarded as having tasted the bitterness of the world. Now, I have tasted the difficulty of farming. Hoeing weeds, digging the ground, breaking up the soil, piling up, sowing seeds, these things seem simple but very trivial.

But he still couldn't figure out why he still had to do this in his cultivation, couldn't he just concentrate on his cultivation!

The fairy soul said that these ordinary and ordinary things are the easiest way to appreciate the true meaning of life, and they can also shape a person's heart the most, so he works every day. In this way, half a month later, Chen Xiaoyi finally planted everything that should be planted. Watering it every morning and evening is a good time to relax.

Suddenly, one day, the fairy spirit called him to him and said, "Today I will teach you some breathing and breathing techniques, and when you have laid a good foundation, I will learn something else." ”。 The two sat cross-legged, and the fairy soul first passed on his mantra, and then carefully guided him, and then let him understand and practice by himself. Finally, he was given a packet of powder and told him to take it every day, seven days and forty-nine days.

Since that day, Chen Xiaoyi's life has changed dramatically. In the morning and evening, you need to practice breathing and breathing for several hours, and at other times you have to learn to read, practice words, and take care of crops. Days like this are very fulfilling. How could he have imagined that as a beggar, he would have a day when he could read and write.

The packet of powder given by the immortal soul was taken by Chen Xiaoyi every day, and forty-nine days later, the immortal soul gave him a new packet. Chen Xiaoyi took the new powder and went back to the room to practice breathing and breathing, and when the second package of powder was used up, his two fields were already green. At this time, the fairy spirit gave him a third packet of powder.

After doing this again and again, Chen Xiaoyi received a total of seven packs of powder from the immortal soul. Each pack was taken for 7749 days, and the seven packs of powder were used up, and before I knew it, nearly a year had passed. At this time, Chen Xiaoyi had grown to the age of sixteen, although he had light tea and light rice every day, but because he practiced breathing and breathing every day and worked in the fields all year round, his body was much stronger than a year ago.

Today's Chen Xiaoyi, the whole person has become very different from before. Not only is his stature much taller, but even his temperament has changed a lot. His body began to have a pure and quiet temperament. Perhaps because he began to read and write, his eyes also became quite aura.

His eyes no longer have the cowardice and monotony of the past, and they begin to become resolute and emotional. Chen Xiaoyi himself did not notice such a change. However, the immortal souls who observe him every day are all in their eyes. The immortal's attitude towards him has also changed a lot, and he used to scold him, but now he will occasionally praise him.

On this day, the immortal soul called Chen Xiaoyi to him again and said, "Now that you have laid a good foundation, the next step is for you to practice martial arts and exercise your body." ”。 The immortal soul moved his hand towards the void, and an extra knife came out. A bright light flashed in Chen Xiaoyi's eyes, but he still remained calm. Seeing his performance, the immortal soul nodded, and said: "This is an ordinary steel knife, three feet long, three inches wide, and weighing twenty catties. ”

Chen Xiaoyi asked curiously: "I read that the book says that other immortal cultivators mostly use swords, why do I practice swords?" The immortal soul closed his eyes and was silent for a while, and then said: "The sword represents the royal road in the world, the benevolent way, although the lonely immortals of the past generations have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and they also have great achievements and great virtues in the world, but they have never thought of being called the king and the emperor. ”

After a pause, the fairy soul said again: "The sword has a double edge, if it does not hurt others, it will hurt itself, the knife is a single edge, representing domineering, there is an indomitable momentum, the lonely immortals of the past generations have come forward when the human race is in danger, draw their swords to help, sacrifice their lives and forget death, and move forward, this is the ambition passed down from generation to generation!"

At this time, Chen Xiaoyi mustered up the courage to ask: "I have heard many legends about the lonely immortals since I was a child, but I don't know how many lonely immortals there are, and where are they now?" The immortal soul stared at him for a long time before he spoke: "Since the beginning of the world, there have been six lonely immortals in the world, and you are the seventh!"

Chen Xiaoyi asked again: "Then they are all ......", but the immortal soul shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”。 Chen Xiaoyi was puzzled: "You are ......", the immortal soul interrupted his questioning, and said: "I am a wisp of immortal soul created by the previous generation of lonely immortals, after he created me, he lived in Xianfeng for seven hundred years, and then left suddenly, and never came back. ”

There is such a thing!

Chen Xiaoyi's heart was full of doubts, but there was nowhere to solve them. The six lonely immortals left endless legends in the human world, but they disappeared without a trace, where did they go? Why did the previous generation of lonely immortals leave suddenly? These questions entangled in his heart, making him feel like numbness. Chen Xiaoyi shook his head, knowing that he shouldn't think about these things now.

Since that day, Chen Xiaoyi has been practicing swordsmanship. But the fairy soul did not teach him knife techniques, but only practiced basic movements such as splitting, slashing, stabbing, teasing, blocking, gridding, sweeping, and horizontal every day. This is three years of practice. At this time, Chen Xiaoyi had grown to be nineteen years old. At this time, Chen Xiaoyi was tall and thin, with slightly dark skin, and he looked like he had clear eyebrows. At first glance, it looks like a sunny boy.

Another day, the immortal soul called him to him and said, "Your foundation has been laid, and today I will pass on your cultivation method of the Lonely Immortal Lineage." ”。 Chen Xiaoyi clenched his fists, and finally waited until today.
