"Winter solstice, a yang sheng, good luck!"

Hanzhang looked at the words on the book and tasted this sentence repeatedly, only to feel that it had a profound meaning.

According to the book, the arrival of the winter solstice heralds greater cold, but it also marks the beginning of a new cycle as the days gradually increase and the yang energy gradually rises after the winter solstice.

In the leap of thoughts, Hanzhang couldn't help but think of his awakening.

The day she woke up, it happened to be the winter solstice.

"Hanzhang, is your father here?"

A sudden voice interrupted Hanzhang's thoughts, she looked up, and saw a fifty-year-old woman walking towards her, this woman she had some impressions, it was the second daughter-in-law of a family surnamed Yi in the village, surnamed Guo, known as Guo.

Hanzhang looked at the kind face Guo in front of him, pulled the corners of his mouth, hooked a smile, and replied: "I went to the back mountain, and said that I would come back before lunch." ”

"Houshan, I guess I went to collect medicine for you again, right?"

Seeing the confusion on Guo's face, Han Zhang turned to make up the answer himself, so he agreed: "Presumably so." ”

"Then remember to tell him when your father comes back, the township spirit government has issued a notice that this year's spiritual examination is free, so he must participate!"

"Hmm!" Hanzhang pulled the corners of his mouth and gradually nodded with a skillful smile.

"This kid is really interesting!"

Guo Shi looked at the little girl sitting on the wicker chair wrapped in a quilt in front of him, she was thin, her skin was sallow, and her breath was obviously lacking in breath, and her illness was revealed. But the girl's expression was calm, and she answered her words with a clear look, and according to her words and demeanor, it was not interesting, but it was a little obedient and gratifying.

She stretched out her hand, touched the little girl's head lovingly, then shook her head and sighed, "Your father...... Hey!"

After sighing, she told "don't forget to tell your father" again before turning to leave.

Hanzhang looked at Guo's light back when she left, knowing what she was happy about, and knowing what she was sighing about just now.

She was happy because the news of the "free spiritual examination" was so exciting.

She sighed because she had brought such good news to the wrong person.

As soon as they are born, they must be sent to the temple for spiritual initiation, and after the initiation, the children can practice spiritual arts. Practicing spiritual arts can greatly improve one's individual strength.

There are two main aspects to improve individual strength, one is spiritual energy, and the other is magic.

The more spiritual energy a person accumulates, the stronger his physical strength will be, and the stronger his physical strength, the more things he can do.

The higher a person's level of spells, the more useful they become. For example, a high level of attack spells will lead to a strong force value, and a high level of healing spells will have a strong ability to heal diseases.

The two complement each other, and the benefits are clear.

However, once a person's spiritual practice begins after initiation, they must undergo a spiritual examination every year.

There are three main contents of the spiritual examination:

The first is a comprehensive test of the spiritual and technical level of spiritual practitioners.

The second is the detection of the health status of spiritual practitioners.

The third is the testing of the cultivation potential of spiritual practitioners.

The objectives of the test are:

First, the practitioner is divided into positions for which he or she is qualified according to his or her spiritual level.

In short, the higher the level of psionic arts, the higher the position that a person is able to fill and usually earns more, and vice versa. And the spiritual test certificate is the threshold for people to find employment.

Second, to ensure that practitioners can detect and adjust in time when abnormal situations occur in the process of spiritual cultivation.

In the process of spiritual cultivation, it is very easy for the spiritual energy that was originally operating normally in the meridians to go off the road without realizing it.

This situation is not a big deal, as long as it can be adjusted in time, it will not have any impact on future cultivation and normal life.

But if the spiritual energy forks in the way deep and severe, the consequences are also serious. At worst, the path of spiritual magic is ruined, and at worst, it is life-threatening.

But don't worry, as long as the practitioner undergoes a spiritual examination every year, this kind of serious consequence will not occur.

Third, discover the best time for spiritual practitioners to practice in a timely manner.

There are naturally individual differences among spiritual practitioners due to different physiques, different qualifications, and so on, and everyone has their own optimal cultivation period.

During the optimal cultivation period, if you can strengthen your cultivation and supplement it with good resources, your cultivation results will naturally be twice as effective with half the effort.

If one is able to grasp every best period of cultivation in one's spiritual cultivation career, one's achievements will be needless to say.

In this way, the spiritual inspection is of great importance to every villager in the village.

However, the cost of the inspection is not cheap.

Judging from the average income of the villagers in Yutang Village, the cost of a spiritual inspection must definitely account for the majority of the total income of the year. For some people with a low level of spiritual arts, after deducting the cost of spiritual examination, they will even have little income left over for a year or make ends meet!

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Guo Shi couldn't help but be happy about the "news of free spiritual examination".

But for the villagers to be such an important spiritual inspection, it is an exception for her cheap daddy Yu Changde!

Yu Changde is now 70 years old, and the people in the village call him the head of old virtue. I heard that when he was young, he didn't like cultivation very much, and when others were diligent and penance, he was looking at flowers, when others were diligent and penance, he was making grass, and when others were diligent and penance, he was wondering why the sun was out of the sun and not raining on this day......

In short, he not only devoted his energy to some messy things, but also routinely advised others not to practice diligently, always saying, "There are all kinds of techniques in the world, and there are numbers in the arts, instead of cultivating diligently, it is better to have a good number of techniques!"

Over the past few decades, other people's spiritual cultivation has risen slowly, and his spiritual cultivation has climbed at a turtle's speed; others have been promoted to become wealthy, and he is still planting mud in the fields of the village; other people's children have become talented and a generation of newcomers have replaced the elderly, but he has ended up with a ruined family!

However, his dismal life is not without any benefits.

I heard that the old man has not participated in the spiritual examination for at least several decades. But except for the occasional chatter, it is still alive and well.

For him, the villagers are really envious.

If they can also not be effective, won't they be able to save a lot of money every year?

Especially for some people with poor cultivation qualifications and low level of spiritual arts, even if they can't earn much money, they can get rid of the current situation of making ends meet and becoming a burden to their families!

But they only dare to think about such thoughts, in the early years, there were cases of serious consequences caused by negligence, and now, almost no one dares to ignore the spirit inspection.

As for the old man who "ignores the dangers of ineffective inspection", many villagers persuaded him at the beginning, and after trying to persuade him to reason and lay out all the facts, people found out that he really recognized his own set of "combined numbers".

After decades, the villagers have long seen his stubbornness, how can they expect him to change his mind just because the spiritual examination is "free"!

Yes, how could Guo, who was full of excitement to deliver the news, not shake his head and sigh!

Hanzhang retracted his mind and put it back on the book.

The book in her hand was given to her by Yu Changde yesterday, and the content mainly introduces the customs and natural timing of this place, and also introduces some common, commonly used, and often related things in life.

Although the content of the book is simple, the language is simple, and it looks ordinary, but the perspective and attitude of looking at things in his words are something she has never been exposed to.

Therefore, the introduction of every thing made her feel like her heart was open.

For example, the introduction of the festival "Xiaohan".

The book says: A small cold is better than a big cold, and it is not uncommon to see it.

That is to say, it is not uncommon for the temperature on a small cold day of the year to be colder than on a cold day. Then Xiaohan's day is likely to be the lowest temperature of the year here.

She remembered Xiao Han's experience half a month ago, and now she still has relatives.

On the day of Xiaohan, she was only able to sit up after waking up for half a month under the care of Lao Detou.

At noon that day, after serving her with some gruel decoction, Lao Detou directly wrapped the quilt around her, and gently carried her to the rattan chair outside the door.

At that time, the sky and the earth were white because of the heavy snow of the first night, and the noon sun shone on the snow, reflecting a fierce cold.

As soon as she was moved out of the house, she felt that the sky was shining and the cold arrows were piercing her heart. It stimulated her body, which was originally extremely cold because of her weakness, and the extreme cold in her body pushed forward one after another, like rolling waves, going forward and backwards.

Yu Changde, a partial student, muttered while putting her on the rattan chair:

"Daughter, you have encountered a good time, such as when the yang energy is in its prime, the yin injury you suffer from can just be repaired with yang energy, and the harmony of yin and yang will soon get better!"

Then he pruned the branches of fruit trees around the courtyard dam, and occasionally hummed a few minor tunes, and the soothing scene and the scenery of heaven and earth reflected each other, reflecting a good natural scenery!

She only remembers that at that time, she was disheartened and silent, and the uncontrollable waves of her heart lake rolled, and the strong emotional fluctuations refreshed her life.

Probably because of this, her cold soul was revived.

Hanzhang stroked the pages of the book, and felt that the content of this book was shallow, but the truth was not shallow.

After waking up from the day of the winter solstice, she really experienced what the book calls "a greater cold". When she first woke up, her body was extremely weak, and she didn't even have enough energy to support her consciousness, but she still had to resist the cold of winter.

As a result, she had to be in the abyss of dying like a gossamer.

As Yu Changde served the decoction day after day, the vitality in her body gradually increased, and her senses began to become sensitive. But it's definitely not a good taste.

Because the cold of the outside world is better than one day at a time, the pain of the body itself also erupts intensively, and under the internal and external attacks, the extreme sensory experience is pushed forward one by one, until the extreme of Xiaohan's day.

Hanzhang can definitely say that this is definitely the "biggest cold period" in her life.

After Xiao Han, the temperature is warming, and the vitality in her body is also continuing to grow, and with the combined support of the two factors, this feeling of being extremely tortured has eased day by day.

The important thing is that after surviving this extreme torture, she actually tasted a little new taste of life, and the idea of life was rejuvenated in her soul.

She began to silently observe the unfamiliar environment around her, silently experienced the environmental feedback and her humanistic customs, and felt that this seemed to be a new world!
