Chapter 3: Cultivating Genius
Old Man Ding's family of four lived in a house of two or three hundred square meters, arranged Lu Yu into a side room, brought water for Lu Yu to wash, and then called Lu Yu to the courtyard to eat.
There were four dishes on the small table, and seeing the child staring at the dishes on the table with drooling eyes, Lu Yu guessed in his heart that this should be a more sumptuous meal for the family.
Lu Yu saw Old Man Ding's daughter-in-law, who was not very old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looked a little shy.
Old man Ding introduced his family, then poured a glass of wine for Lu Yu and said: "There have been no guests at home for a long time, and there is nothing delicious in the countryside, don't dislike it!" ”
Lu Yu looked down at the wine in the cup, and felt Old Man Ding's kindness, so he couldn't shirk it: "Thank you Old Ding, if it wasn't for Old Ding to take me in, I'm afraid I would have to sleep in the wild tonight." ”
"Readers are polite! Say no thanks, how can there be no difficulty when you are alone outside! Drink! ”
Lu Yu picked up the wine glass, put it to his mouth and took a sip, speaking of his own alcohol consumption is really not good, in the main world two or three bottles of beer dizzy, very envious of those who can hold the box to drink, as for the liquor, it has not been touched, but today's hospitality is difficult for Lu Yu to refuse.
The wine is not very strong, and there is a hint of sweetness in the mouth, and when it enters the stomach, it immediately penetrates into the internal organs like a sweet spring, and the body is like a dry earth bathed in the gentle wind and drizzle under the scorching sun, and it feels indescribably comfortable.
"Good wine!" Although Lu Yu didn't understand wine, he also felt that this wine was a little extraordinary.
Old man Ding was a little stunned and said: "Lu Xian's nephew is really good at laughing, the turbid wine brewed in the poor countryside is not a good wine. ”
Da Zhuang on the side couldn't help but say, "Brother Lu, are you really a monk?" I've heard that all the scholars are monks, and there isn't a single monk in our village. ”
Lu Yu didn't know how to answer Da Zhuang's words, so he could only say vaguely: "Who did you listen to?" ”
"Who else can I listen to, people outside the village say this, I also want to become a monk, but others say that I am not qualified enough to become a monk!"
Lu Yu was speechless, he was not a monk, and he didn't know anything about monks, but looking at Da Zhuang's expression, he knew that the status of monks in his mind should not be low.
Old man Ding sighed and said, "Lu Xian's nephew doesn't know, there has not been a monk in our village for a long time, if a monk can appear, the taxes in the village can be reduced by 10%, and life will not be so difficult." ”
If there are monks in the village, they can also reduce taxes, and Lu Yu doesn't dare to talk nonsense, so as not to show his feet.
Old man Ding sighed with emotion: "It's too difficult to become a monk, in addition to the qualifications are acceptable, you also have to ask for a teacher and a teacher, just the monthly cultivation resources are not something that a poor family can afford, unless the qualifications can reach the level of qualified, no one will be willing to pay this cultivation fee, but there are very few people with this kind of qualifications, and we don't dare to expect it!" ”
When Lu Yu heard this, he didn't know what his one-two-six qualifications were, but he felt that it shouldn't be too bad, otherwise the system wouldn't have chosen him, right?
Da Zhuang next to him coughed and sighed: "I have six out of twenty today, which is completely hopeless, but Xiao Wang's qualifications have reached one hundred and two, if someone is willing to help Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang still has hope to become a monk." ”
"Don't dream about it!"
Old man Ding said with sadness: "If you want to become a monk with one hundred and two qualifications, then the monk has not become a crop in the field, so you can have as much as you want?" ”
"But how did I hear that there is an elixir called the Pulp Cleansing Pill, which rich people will buy for juniors with poor qualifications, and after improving their qualifications, they will be able to cultivate", Da Zhuang said dissatisfiedly.
Old man Ding laughed angrily and said: "What nonsense have you heard outside, the myelin-washing pill is also what you want to get, don't talk about the myelin-washing pill, just say that you have a spirit stone?" ”
Da Zhuang struggled and looked at Lu Yu and said, "Brother Lu, do you have a spirit stone?" ”
Old man Ding's face sank and said, "Lu Xian's nephew was just robbed, what do you say?" ”
Da Zhuang shrunk his neck and whispered: "I have grown so big, I haven't seen the appearance of a spirit stone, I just want to see what a spirit stone looks like?" ”
Lu Yu didn't know what a spirit stone was, but he knew from the conversation between Old Man Ding's father and son that the spirit stone should be a resource for cultivators, and it was very scarce and precious, otherwise it would be impossible for ordinary people in this world not to have seen it.
Old man Ding ignored his son's unrealistic fantasies, and said to Lu Yu: "Nephew Lu Xian, can you help me see if my grandson can become a monk when he grows up, my grandson is the most qualified one in the village, if he can't become a monk, I don't know when a monk will appear in this village." ”
Lu Yu couldn't even tell what cultivation qualifications were, and he wasn't a monk now, so Old Man Ding's question stumped Lu Yu.
But Lu Yu can't pretend that he doesn't know anything, listening to Old Man Ding's words, it seems that most of the scholars are monks, and Lu Yu's guide also clearly says that he is the second layer of qi refining, which should be the level of the cultivation realm, the problem is that this realm doesn't seem to be too high, if he talks nonsense, he will definitely be exposed, what should I do?
Lu Yu's eyes rolled, he looked at the child who was gobbling up at the table, and immediately had an idea in his heart: "Heaven is impermanent, there will always be a trace of vitality, qualifications are destined by God, cultivation is in the individual, if you want to succeed, you have to look at what ordinary people can't!" ”
Old man Ding's eyes lit up and said: "What Lu Xian's nephew means is that congenital deficiencies are made up for later, qualifications are important, but hard work is fundamental!" ”
Lu Yu nodded slightly, but said in his heart: This was said by Old Man Ding himself, and I didn't say anything.
Old man Ding was overjoyed, and he also knew in his heart that his grandson's qualifications had just reached the passing line, and he was still 108,000 miles away from becoming a monk, but there was still hope after all, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Lu Yu.
Seeing that he had successfully fooled the past, Lu Yu hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Elder Ding, how far is it from the capital, and how many days does it take to get to the capital?" ”
Old man Ding knew that Lu Yulu was lost by robbers, so he introduced it in detail: "When Lu Xian's nephew left, he walked seven or eight miles to the east, and he could see the post road, and he went north on the post road, and he could reach the capital by walking more than a thousand miles. However, Lu Xian's nephew is now entangled and robbed, and if he walks, I am afraid that he will have to walk for more than ......a month. ”
Lu Yu asked about the way to the capital, mainly to ask for some information about the Tianlan world, but he didn't expect that Dingjia Village was thousands of miles away from the capital, and this distance was very far.
Old man Ding poured Lu Yu another glass of wine, and saw Lu Yu said with a thoughtful expression: "There are still two months before the big exam, and the time should be in time." ”
Lu Yu didn't dare to ask more questions on one question, so he thought of another question and said, "I don't know how far away is from the nearest county seat?" ”
"About a hundred miles to the northeast!"
Lu Yu asked this question, mainly to find a densely populated place as soon as possible and inquire more about the Tianlan World, his current state of knowing nothing about the Tianlan World is easy to make people suspicious.
Lu Yu kept in mind everything he saw and heard today, and asked some things about Dingjia Village, and under the persuasion of Old Man Ding, he drank three glasses of wine in a row, and felt a little dizzy in his head, so he excused himself from being good at drinking.
"Isn't Brother Lu a monk? I've heard that monks can drink alcohol, and they can drink one or two catties of wine at a meal, and it's not a problem to eat more than a dozen catties of meat? ”
"Nonsense!"
Old man Ding blew his beard and glared, "Have you ever seen a monk?" That's all hearsay, not true! ”
Lu Yu was shocked, and said that there is no wind and no waves, and the rumors are not necessarily false, but there may be exaggerated elements in them, especially if he is an impostor, if he meets a real monk, he will be debunked in minutes.
The more Lu Yu thought about it, the more scared he became, pretending to excuse himself that he was already full and wanted to rest!
Old man Ding's family also ate about the same, and wanted to pull Lu Yu to chat for a while, seeing that Lu Yu wanted to rest, he thought that Lu Yu was physically and mentally exhausted by the robbers, so he hurriedly asked Lu Yu to rest early, and persuaded Lu Yu to stay in Dingjia Village for a few more days, and it was not too late to hurry after he recovered.
Lu Yu was just about to step into his room, when the ghost envoy looked up at the sky above him, "What is that?" ”
At the end of Lu Yu's field of vision, the black canopy was inlaid with white circles of different sizes, some looked about the same size as the moon, and some were only the size of a bowl.
The strange celestial phenomenon didn't seem to cause any sensation, this may be unique to the Tianlan world, Lu Yu thought about it and returned to his house, closed the door for a while, and made sure that the Ding family would not come to disturb again, so he thought calmly.
From the conversation between Old Man Ding's family, it is vaguely known that the status of monks in this world is very high, and if you want to gain a foothold in this world, the best way is to become a monk.
But it is not easy to become a monk, a monk is not a cabbage on a roadside stall, and there has not been a monk in Dingjia Village for many years in three or four hundred people, which shows how difficult it is to become a monk.
Lu Yu's mind sank into the system space, and he glanced at his data again, qualification: one, two, six, and I don't know if this data is high or low, but I think it shouldn't be too high and too low, because Old Man Ding said that those with excellent qualifications will have people who are willing to take the initiative to take out a lot of resources for training, that is to say, the unjust ghost he pretended to be has not reached that height.
It's a pity that Lu Yu doesn't know the past of that unjust ghost now, otherwise he wouldn't have been so tired.
Fortunately, Lu Yu now appeared in a relatively remote small village, and the people in the village didn't know much about monks, which gave Lu Yu a great opportunity.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu's heart moved slightly, he took out the cultivation book left by the unjust ghost, and looked at it by the light of the oil lamp, after a long time, Lu Yu's face became cloudy, and things really did not surprise him, and the difficulty of cultivating in this world is no less than the college entrance examination in the main world.
The question is, do you have such time?
Lu Yu thought about it carefully, and found that he had few choices, one way is to hide his identity incognito, this road seems to be feasible, but in fact the risk is extremely large, so big that he may be discovered at any time, think about the household registration system of the main world, as a social creature, it is impossible for humans to hide in the deep mountains and wilderness forever, not to mention the risks, even loneliness can drive a person crazy.
The only way left is to pretend to be the unjust ghost and integrate yourself into this world.
But here comes the problem again, the unjust ghost is a second-level Qi refining cultivator, just now Lu Yu has read the cultivation books, the cultivation in this world usually starts from the age of sixteen to eighteen, and if you can't enter the Qi refining period before the age of twenty-five, you will not be able to cultivate again for the rest of your life.
Lu Yu didn't know if he, an outsider, had to abide by the rules of this world, but even if everything was not affected, it would not be easy to become a cultivator.
That unjust ghost is also twenty-four years old this year, if he starts cultivating at the age of eighteen, it will take six years to reach the second layer of qi refining, this speed is very slow, if Lu Yu wants to pretend, he must quickly improve his cultivation to the second layer of qi refining in a short period of time, otherwise he will show his feet.
Lu Yu sensed the aura around him according to the exercises in the cultivation book, and found that he couldn't feel the existence of the aura at all.
Not being able to feel the presence of the aura, that is, not being able to step into the Qi Refining Mirror.
Maybe Lu Yu slowly groped to make himself feel the existence of aura, but how long is this time, not to mention a year and a half, even a month or two is obviously too late.
Lu Yu thought of a possibility, that is, to stay in Dingjia Village first, and then leave Dingjia Village after he entered the Qi Refining Mirror.
As soon as this idea arose, Lu Yu vetoed it, and it was not a big problem to stay in Dingjia Village for a few days, but if he wanted to stay in Dingjia Village for a long time, the reason why he was going to go to Beijing for a scientific expedition would be doubted.
Can't you hurt yourself?
Maybe there's another way?
Lu Yu didn't believe that he could think of a problem, the system couldn't have not taken it into account, it should be something he missed?
The information in the system doesn't seem to have changed, Lu Yu looked at the information on the system panel, thinking about all kinds of possibilities, if he thinks correctly, the system can't ignore the host, otherwise it will lose the meaning of the host's existence.
Of course, Lu Yu doesn't know what the system's purpose is for himself, but these are not the problems that the weak self should consider now.
Qi Refining Level: +
Refining Level: +
Skill Points: 1
Lu Yu quickly discovered the changes in the system panel, 1 skill point was sent by the system when he found out that he was incomplete in the cultivation exercises, and the previous qi refining and body refining levels seemed to be 'none', but now it has become '+', is it because of the changes that occurred after having skill points.
If Lu Yu's guess is not wrong, the skill points can be allocated to the qi refining and body refining levels, does that mean that as long as you click on it, you can become a monk.
The more Lu Yu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, he was a one-in-a-million cultivation genius, but time was running out, and it was impossible for him to waste his good time on boring cultivation time, so he needed a little dispensable help from the system.
