Volume 3: The One Who Should Think Thinks Chapter 80: Enlightenment

The people in the village, including Baoyu, gradually changed their bodies after eating the meat of that spirit beast.

On this day, the Shui Gu suddenly summoned the men of the tribe who had reached the age of sixteen, the women who had reached the age of fourteen, and those who had not yet married and were under the age of thirty, to see her spinning.

The people here have always lived in a primitive and primitive state, and when a man reaches the age of 16 and a woman reaches the age of 14, he can already marry or marry, but not all of them will marry so early. Girls generally marry relatively early, but some men actually start a family at an older age for a number of reasons, the first of which is that they need to have enough ability.

The water girl ordered these people to come, of course, to try to guide them into the initial realm. Children who are too young are not only mentally immature but also physically not fully developed, so they are not suitable for premature cultivation and cannot be taught. As for those who are over 30 years old, their physical and mental development has reached their peak, but they have never been able to enter the initial state, and there is little hope of success in the future.

A few years ago, the mountain god was still there, in fact, many people in the ritual of worshiping the mountain god were unconsciously guided by the mountain god, but they have not entered the initial realm, and the water girl mainly pinned her hopes on those young people who have not yet married. As for the clansmen who have already married, it is not absolutely impossible, but there are more chores in their lives, and their mood is also affected, and it is unlikely that they will succeed.

But the aunt did not say what her purpose was, but only ordered everyone to come and see her spinning, and she did not prevent those who did not meet the requirements from coming to watch, but only ordered that the people who stayed in the village and met the requirements must come.

There are two open spaces in the village, one in the center and directly in front of the altar, and a smaller open space behind the altar in front of the house where the water girl lives. Dozens of clansmen sat in this small clearing as required, facing the water girl, who was sitting in front of her house. As for the other clansmen, if they want to see the excitement, they hide to the side and sit and lie down casually, but they are not allowed to run to the front to block these people, and they are not allowed to disturb others by talking and talking.

There are almost no stools in the villages, and they usually sit on the ground kneeling or cross-legging, and cross-sitting is more stable than kneeling, and the upper body is more upright, which is a habit that everyone has been doing since childhood, and there is almost no need to teach. And the water aunt didn't say much, just asked everyone to try to follow her example - sit cross-legged. This posture is the most stable and upright, from the body is the mind, and the mood is also the most stable and upright.

The water girl weaves arrowroot cloth. In ancient times, the tribesmen's clothing was made of animal skins and leaves, which could protect them from the cold, but they were not suitable to wear in the warm season, and the leaves were easy to break. The "cloth" is derived from the thread rope, which people use soft teng or plant fibers to knead into long strips, thick ropes can be used to tie things, and thin threads can be sewn into animal skins.

Later, people weaved fine threads into sheets, which was the earliest and most primitive cloth, and then people learned to wear and weave warp and weft, and also began to weave cloth with simple looms. The best weaving material in the mountains is kudzu silk processed from kudzu fiber, which is very fine and soft, and the woven kudzu cloth is light and comfortable, suitable for close wear or summer clothing.

The roots of kudzu vine can be eaten, and it can also be finely minced to remove the fiber, dried into arrowroot powder for preservation, of course, it is a good thing, and the tribesmen often go to the mountains to collect it. In the village, there was only kudzu cloth at the earliest, and in recent years, the people have learned to grow hemp, and the silk made of hemp fiber can also be woven into linen. Ge cloth is better than linen cloth, and the kudzu cloth of Shuigu weaving is the best, the texture is extremely dense and soft, and it is even called "water cloth" among the tribes in this area. The belly pocket that Baoyu usually wears is made of "water cloth". When the Lu Clan exchanges things with other clans, the "water cloth" is the most popular item.

However, in the past few years, the Lu people have hardly used the "water cloth" to exchange things with foreigners, and the Ge cloth is already better and less, not to mention the "water cloth" spun by Shuigu herself? The Lu people have a stable source and a guaranteed quantity of hemp, and they occasionally use double the amount of hemp silk and linen to exchange Gesi and Ge cloth with foreigners.

Today is the first time that Baoyu has seen Shuigu weaving "water cloth" with her own eyes. Shuigu didn't use a loom, but just sat quietly in front of the door, and the tribesmen's processed gardzu was stacked in front of her. Jia Baoyu of the branch, although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes before, he had heard of it, but he didn't use a loom to weave cloth, he just saw it for the first time, and heard it for the first time.

I was thinking about what Shui Gu would do, and suddenly found that the slender Gesi on the ground suddenly seemed to come to life, and automatically floated into the air in front of Shui Gu without wind. The kudzu silk is intertwined, interspersed vertically and horizontally, and the warp and weft are weaved, and they are slowly spun into cloth out of thin air. One end of the fabric slowly drifts, while the other end of the gardzu silk is still flying and weaving into a long piece.

People don't have to do anything, and they automatically fly up and weave into long horses. The feeling of the clansmen is only amazement and not horror, because she is the water lady that everyone fears, and it seems natural to have such a ability. It's just that Granny Shui asked everyone to sit in front and see this scene clearly, which is unprecedented.

But Jia Baoyu does understand that there is a doorway here, and there seems to be an invisible force in it that dominates all this. Jia Baoyu began to guess that the reason why the white-bearded old man brought him here was to let him master this ability.

The weaving process is also strange to say, everyone sees it, but when they want to see it carefully, they don't seem to see it and have different feelings. The big silk thread that flew up on the ground, as if echoing with some kind of power in these people's bodies, some people gradually felt that they couldn't stand it, and a large silk thread flew up on the ground, as if it was related to some kind of power in these people's bodies, and some people gradually felt that they couldn't stand it anymore and began to sit still, but Shui Gu ordered everyone not to move, so everyone could only endure it.

There are still some people who vomit when they look at it, because the silk thread is too dense, and the whole process is dazzling and exciting, causing some people to start to have a nauseous situation. So many people began to dare not look at it, at this time they found that as long as they closed their eyes, this uncomfortable feeling would disappear in an instant, but it was obviously very uncomfortable, but Shui Gu let them see clearly, what is going on?

These simple tribesmen are so obedient that most of them grit their teeth and insist, but in fact they can't hold on at all if they insist on it, and in the end they faint and feel as if they are asleep; some people really can't get into the state, so they can't see the process of weaving, they just sit there and persevere.

If you want to say that the most exceptional among these people should be Baoyu, he stood aside and looked at Shui Gu curiously, showing his magical skills. At this time, his mind suddenly recalled the previous situation when the strange bird grabbed things in the air, and compared with the two, it was obvious that Shui Gu's ability was much more powerful than that strange bird.

When he was thinking wildly, he couldn't see the details of Gesi's flying clearly, and realizing this, Baoyu immediately cleared his mind and began to watch the whole process seriously, and then he saw it clearly. The scene in front of me was magnifying, and there seemed to be only countless flying wires left between heaven and earth, intertwined and woven into cloth, and each of the arrowroot silks, thinner than hair, became as thick as twine in sight at this moment. I saw the details of the silk woven into the cloth, and then I also felt drowsy, I slept well yesterday, why am I sleepy again now? I shook my head vigorously, and I got out of the state just now, and what I saw was still the water lady who spun the cloth in front of the door.

Still watching, at this moment he no longer felt uncomfortable and dizzy, and gradually saw not only the flying silk cloth, but the whole scene. The scene is very smooth and very beautiful, accompanied by a natural flow of power, like a moving painting.

These patterns are often very simple and rough, and the tiger baby often goes to see those pictures. For example, he saw some patterns outlined by simple lines, and after pondering and understanding, a group of clansmen chasing prey appeared in a trance in front of him.

At this moment, Shui Gu has also become a painting in Baoyu's eyes, although he and the others have not moved, but they seem to be frozen, Baoyu vaguely, seems to see a strange thing, as if controlling those Gesi with a strange rhythm. The kudzu cloth that floats slowly in the air is like a stream flowing in the mountains. What Baoyu saw was flowing water, controlled by the forces of heaven and earth, converging into streams in the mountains. The stream always seems to be like that, but the water keeps flowing.

This is the stillness in motion, the flowing water becomes the stream that people see, and the flowing silk becomes the cloth that the tiger baby sees. Regardless of whether there was such a thing as kudzu cloth in the world, if the kudzu silk was woven in this way, it would appear, and people could see the stream like water flowing in the mountains. It is necessary to comprehend the stillness in this movement in order to see every scene clearly.

Jia Baoyu began to understand a little, this should be a very magical realm, this is not summed up in words, but naturally entered this state, he has forgotten what he is doing, and he is not even aware of his own existence. In this state, he seems to be looking and not looking, and between looking and not seeing, he enters a very mysterious realm. When he forgot about himself, he closed his eyes.

I feel like my whole body is moving inside and out, my heart is beating, my chest and lungs are breathing, the blood is flowing all over my body, and even my hair and skin are in a tidal rhythm, and there is not a trace of stillness. But in this dynamic feeling, he entered a strange state of silence, so that he could perceive it all clearly.

He stood there as if he was asleep, smiling and relaxed, but he stood firm and did not fall, and his whole body felt very comfortable. What Baoyu didn't know at the moment, Shui Gu wanted the people to watch her spin cloth, hoping that everyone was looking for this state. Looking at everyone, only Jia Baoyu entered this wonderful state, but at this time, Shui Gu never thought that Baoyu would be the first to enter the state, because he was not a member of his own race, and he was not familiar with many life scenes here, and he had never been in contact with the mountain god's cultivation in secret, so he suddenly mistakenly thought that Baoyu was in a daze.

"Alright, that's all for today. When you go back, you have to reflect on your feelings at the moment. All those who meet the requirements will come and see me spinning next time, and everyone else should come as long as they are okay. After speaking, he looked at Baoyu again, "You are not very familiar with this place, and it is normal that you have not entered the state, don't be discouraged." ”
