In the remote area at the junction of Feixing Country and Yunchu Kingdom, there is a Blue Bridge Village, because it is not in the center of the border between the two countries, there are few outsiders in this village, only about 20 households, the people are simple, and it is a rare pure land between the two countries.

Cui Yichu has been away from Osan for some time, and now she is standing outside Lanqiao Village, which is the destination of her trip, although she doesn't know why she chose this place, but her inner voice clearly tells her that this is the best place to retreat.

She walked in, it was almost dusk, the villagers had returned with farm tools, their faces were tired after work, but also satisfied with joy, she saw in her eyes, there was a rare calm, as if everything in this world could no longer stir up the slightest wave in her heart.

"This girl?"

As she was thinking, an old man came up to her, smoking a pipe in his hand, and his eyes were full of compassion.

"Hello!" Cui Yichu smiled.

"You're a foreigner, aren't you? I don't know what I'm here for? Although our Lanqiao Village is small, but they are all peace-loving people, you ......" the old man wanted to speak and stopped, in the past he did not have too much interrogation of outsiders, only to see her inexplicably felt that she had a fierce aura, and he walked out involuntarily.

"Don't worry, old man, I'm just passing by, and I won't stay here for a long time." Cui Yi felt something at the beginning.

"There is a thatched hut on the top of the mountain, which is used by the villagers to rest when they go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables on weekdays, if you don't go there to live, I am the village chief here, and I asked you before, but only out of the duty of the village chief, I hope you don't blame."

"The village chief is polite, I won't take it to heart." How could Cui Yichu deal with a conscientious village chief? In her opinion, the real village chief should be the old man in front of him, taking the affairs of the village to heart, and at the same time not rejecting outsiders.

It is said that it is a mountain, but in fact it is just a mountain bag, but the location of Lanqiao Village is also a little higher than the terrain of other places, so that standing here can clearly see the village under the mountain and the pass of Yunchuguo in the distance.

"Are you the new sister that grandpa said?"

Cui Yichu smiled, but there was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl standing in front of the meeting, wearing a coarse linen skirt, and her eyes looked timidly, and when she saw her appearance clearly, a trace of surprise and envy flashed in her eyes.

"Yes! My name is Luo Xiaoyou! Cui Yichu saw her in her spiritual consciousness as early as possible, and also heard her grandfather, Village Chief Lan, confess that he asked her to send a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

"Hello Sister Luo, my name is Lan Ling'er, the village chief is my grandfather, grandpa said that you just arrived in the village, there must be no dinner, so I sent this bowl of Yangchun noodles." She whispered, looking at Cui Yichu with anticipation in her eyes.

"Thank you!" She took it with a smile, and under Lan Ling'er's gaze, she ate the bowl of noodles cleanly, and then wiped her mouth and said, "Very delicious noodles, thank you grandfather for me, and thank you for sending noodles to me." ”

Lan Ling'er heard her say this, especially when she saw the bowl that had been eaten, she was very happy to take it, her nervousness disappeared a lot, and her eyes when she looked at Cui Yichu became a little more playful: "Sister Luo, can I come to you when I have time?" I've never been out of the village, so if you're from outside, can you tell me about the outside world? ”

"Good!" Cui Yichu has never felt this way, in her previous life, she was an orphan and a lone star, although in this life she had a good childhood because she had her mother by her side, but she had never interacted with people of the same age, or was so admired and respected by people younger than herself, so she couldn't refuse Lan Ling'er's request.

Lan Ling'er heard this, her eyes were shining like stars, and then she left with joy, the bouncing happy figure made Cui Yichu inexplicably a little envious, she didn't know what was wrong with herself, she was so eager for family and friendship in this life, obviously she was used to everything, but she still couldn't stop wanting to get close and have it.

When night fell, Cui Yichu sat cross-legged in front of the grass hut and began today's cultivation, she was used to practicing at night these days, and today she planned to start practicing the Taiyi Condensing Technique.

Taiyi Meditation is divided into nine layers: condensation, condensation, condensation, birth, forging, unity, unity, cocooning, and condensation.

Although everyone knows that they have a soul, no one can see that a monk can cultivate the original spirit in the end, but it does not refer to the soul, because it is not easy to feel one's own soul.

"Condensation? Feeling the soul, and then condensing and forming, sure enough, the cultivation of the soul is ten million times more difficult than the cultivation, but the more difficult it is, the more powerful it is. Cui Yichu opened his eyes and looked at the blood moon in the night sky, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The combination of the soul and the body forms life, and the cultivation focuses on self-cultivation, mind cultivation, and aspiration, but only the cultivation of the soul is missing, and now it is about to begin, then it is necessary to forget the self, or to perceive life, and then detach from life, perhaps at that moment you can see the soul, and take this opportunity to condense and take shape."

Cui Yichu muttered to herself, then closed her eyes slightly, her spiritual sense spread, and the spiritual consciousness of the monk in the spiritual transformation period could reach hundreds of miles, and the people in the village were all in her perception, and the same was true of this short mountain bag.

She saw that the grass was growing happily, she saw Lan Ling'er telling the village chief about coming here, and she saw a budding wildflower, all of which are life, but is life really tangible?

"Alas!"

At the same time, a faint sigh came from her neck, which contained helplessness and pampering, and at the same time as the sigh, a faint light suddenly came out of it, enveloping the entire grass house and Cui Yichu, so that her cultivation would not be disturbed.

The sky was slightly bright, the people in the village made the sunrise, Cui Yichu opened his eyes, got up with a smile, walked to the village, and then said a few words to the village chief, and then followed him into the farmland, she took the seedlings, rolled up her trouser legs, and walked into the field barefoot, feeling the dampness and coolness of the soil, as well as the endless vitality in it.

She smiled and looked at the movements of others, and also went to plant seedlings, her movements were rusty, but very serious, the people in the village were originally very curious about her, a foreigner, and now seeing her like this, they couldn't help but look at it.

Seeing that she was rarely frowned because of the rice planting, and her delicate face was full of concentration, leading the villagers to want to be close to her, not long after, a woman stepped forward and taught her how to do it hand in hand, she suddenly realized, thanked her repeatedly, and her modest and gentle smile attracted the favor of many villagers.

"Xiaoyou, you are still young and have not married, so it's better not to show your face like this." After a day's work, Lan Linger's mother, Sister-in-law Lan, held hands to remind her.

"Huh! I haven't done it before, so I want to try it and wonder if the food I grow will be more delicious. Cui Yichu thought that when she was in Taoyuan Village in this life, she should have had the opportunity to do these things, but when her mother was alive, she was reluctant to go to the field, and after her mother died, the farmland was taken back by the villagers, and it was the first time she did farm work in her previous life and this life.

"You! At first glance, he was born in a rich and noble family, what is there to experience in all this hard work? But it's up to you to make your own decisions. ”

She patted Cui Yichu's hand again, and then turned around and went home, and it didn't take long for Lan Ling'er to deliver rice again, and what she sent today was not noodles, but a bowl of rice and a plate of braised pork.

Cui Yichu took it, and a warm flow flowed in his heart, this warmth has not been felt since the death of his mother Tao Yuanyuan.

"Sister Luo, can you tell me about the outside world?" Lan Ling'er sat beside her, expecting to say.

"The world is boundless, so big that you can't imagine how vast it is, and the outside world naturally embraces many different people and things." Cui Yichu couldn't help but think of Duanmu Jing, Zhou Ying, and Manbai Yanyan and others.

"Really? What's so interesting about that? Lan Ling'er's eyes lit up.

"Have you ever heard of a prince falling in love with an orphan girl? There is such a prince outside, the prince of the dragon and phoenix among the people, but he fell in love with an orphan girl of unknown origin, which shocked the government and the opposition and provoked the royal family to almost turn against him. ”

"And then?" Lan Ling'er listened attentively.

Cui Yichu fell into memories, and it wasn't until this moment that she realized that there were some things, some people, who didn't need you to remember, he would naturally fall deep in his heart, whether you wanted it or not, whether you liked it or not.

She lived in Lanqiao Village like this, and like the villagers, she did it at sunrise and rested at sunset, the difference was that her rest was spent in cultivation, especially the Taiyi Condensation Technique was the most important, and through contact with the earth, the growth of plants made her finally have a trace of experience of life.

Spring goes to autumn, two years have passed in the blink of an eye, Cui Yichu has become one with this village, no one remembers her as an outsider, as if she has lived here since she was a child, everyone regards her as family, and Lan Linger's closeness and worship of her have reached an indescribable situation.

It's just that she didn't notice at all that every night of practice, the Nether Ring would protect her tightly, so that she could cultivate with peace of mind during this period.

"Plants and trees die in winter, and spring is reborn, death is life, life is death, and the cycle is life, but what about the soul? When the body dies, does the soul still exist? ”

Cui Yichu's eyes flashed with deep confusion, the whole person sat in front of the grass hut, fell into an ethereal state, she felt as if she was floating, constantly rising, and constantly going away, until there was a baby's cry in the village, she stopped traveling, but she felt that she had come to this farmhouse, and saw the child that the woman had just given birth, and the umbilical cord had not yet had time to be cut.

"How's the kid?" The woman raised her eyes weakly and looked at the child in Wen Po's arms.

"The child is healthy, he is a fat boy. Oops-" Wen Po cut the umbilical cord, cleaned the child, wrapped the quilt and put it next to the woman's bed, and then went to clean up the woman's lower body, not wanting to be frightened by this sight and making her scream.

"What's wrong?" The man waiting outside the door rushed in.

"Blood, blood—"

The woman wept sadly, watching the child next to her gradually lose her voice, and at the same time, the baby who was already asleep began to cry loudly.

Cui Yichu's eyes suddenly lit up at this moment, she understood, but before she began to practice the Taiyi Condensing Technique, she was awakened by a strong vibration, she suddenly opened her eyes, and looked into the distance through the hazy moonlight, and her spiritual sense also dispersed, and then her eyes were covered with a thick shock.
