Extra: Luo Xiu (I)
It was almost dusk, and the smoke was already rising from the houses in the village, and the children who were playing in twos and threes were shouted by the elders to go home for dinner, so that it was a harmonious natural beauty. At the entrance www.biquge.info of the village, a teenager dragged a dead black bear with difficulty.
"Uncle Chen, this time this black bear can be worth it, I chased him for several days. The young man said to Uncle Chen at the village head purchasing office.
Uncle Chen hurriedly agreed, took out the grinding disc and weighed it, "The weight of the three grinding discs is ten taels of silver." ”
The young man took the silver and tossed upside down, "It's worth that much, forget it, I won't compete with this kind of big guy next time." ”
"Luo Xiu, what did you hit this time?" asked an aunt passing by.
"Hey, that's a shame, three black bears weighing a millstone. Uncle Chen hurriedly took over the topic and said.
Luo Xiu had to scratch his head embarrassedly. In the face of the ferocious beast, Luo Xiu would not hesitate to fight him, and in the face of acquaintances and fellow villagers, Luo Xiu revealed the shyness that a teenager should have.
"Luo Xiu, I went to my aunt's house for dinner today, think about the year Uncle Luo picked you up and said to us: This child is not easy to see, but it's a pity that your Uncle Luo died two years earlier, otherwise I would be very happy to see you so capable. The aunt directly snatched the hunting items in Luo Xiu's hand, and pulled Luo Xiu to rush home.
Luo Xiu lived alone in Uncle Luo's house, because Uncle Luo had no children and no daughters, and his wife died early, so he picked up Luo Xiu and treated him as a son.
Luo Xiu had to face the problems of life after Uncle Luo's death, so at a young age, he began to learn from adults to go hunting in the mountains, since it was hunting, it would definitely be injured, and several times he was hit or scratched by fierce beasts, he would persevere.
Luo Xiu is a very optimistic teenager, but occasionally he wonders: where did he come from, and where are my parents.
All kinds of problems plagued him, and even when he was hunting, an old man would approach him, thinking of this, Luo Xiu couldn't help frowning slightly.
Since Luo Xiu has a memory, he has been living in this barren Yue country small mountain village, life is ordinary, Luo Xiu is like other children, learning all kinds of skills, but the unfortunate death of Luo Xiu's uncle has changed Luo Xiu, he is only strong, strong, stronger. This has made him different from ordinary people.
However, the dull days were soon broken, and Luo Xiu went hunting in the mountains as usual, and met the person who changed his whole life.
In Luo Xiu's eyes, this old man was chattering, and he approached him three times and twice.
"Hey, old man, what are you doing here again?" Luo Xiu said impatiently.
"Xiaoyou, my name is Chiyazi, and I am the 12th generation head of the Caixia faction, are you willing to worship like my disciple? Lao Dao couldn't help but pull Luo Xiu up and rose to the sky.
"Uh-a-, is that true? Who the hell are you? Luo Xiu slowly opened his closed eyes and said in surprise.
"Come with me, I'll talk to you slowly. "Soon, there was a mountain in front of me that was not very high but full of aura" This mountain is called Caixia Mountain, which is the foundation of our religion, follow me. ”
Luo Xiu hurriedly followed, only to see a wave of the red tooth sleeve robe, and suddenly the scenery in front of him changed greatly, buildings appeared, and many young people practiced spells on the platform of the mountain peak. Luo Xiu, who watched it, was surprised.
"Little friend, come in with me. "Oh. Luo Xiu immediately reacted and hurriedly followed.
"Senior brother, are you back?" "Senior Brother in charge", "Master", "Master" The men and women you met along the way all greeted the old Taoist in front of you respectfully.
"What kind of person did you say the master brought back this time?" a female disciple asked the person next to her.
At this time, the senior brother Bai Zihua came over, "Don't talk nonsense, he is an immortal seedling, and the future is unlimited, we have to have a good relationship with him." "Yes, brother. The disciples replied.
"Fairy seedlings, yes? I want to see how amazing you are. A hint of gloom flashed in Bai Zihua's eyes.
However, Luo Xiu didn't know that someone was already staring at him, and he was still shocked by these things that he had never seen before.
"Here, this is your room, you rest here for a day, and I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning." You can officially come to my door, are you willing?" said Red Tooth.
Luo Xiu was also not ambiguous: "The disciple is willing." He had already thought a lot along the way, and he had already seen these things clearly, so when Lao Dao asked him to worship at the mountain gate, he agreed without thinking about it.
"Okay, well, you have a good rest. There was a glare, and the old way disappeared out of thin air.
"Hmm, I'm really looking forward to it, is this the cultivation of immortals?" Luo Xiu thought secretly while lying on the bed. Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
I don't know how long it has been.
"Knock knock" "Who?" Luo Xiu woke up suddenly. "I was sent by the master to deliver dinner. The outsider replied.
"Oh, come in then. Luo Xiu touched his stomach, "I'm really hungry," Luo Xiu thought to himself.
"This is dinner, you haven't Bigu yet, so the spirit fruit specially sent to you by the master, then I'll leave first. "Well, okay. Luo Xiu replied.
There was only a light blue fruit the size of half a fist on the table, Luo Xiu picked it up and sniffed it gently, only to feel that the whole body was extremely comfortable, as if bathing in a hot spring, both came and was safe, Luo Xiu was not afraid of anything, swallowed the fruit in three or two bites, and felt that this fruit tasted very good. "It doesn't seem bad to stay here. Luo Xiu thought to himself.
Luo Xiu recalled in his mind what he had heard and seen during the day, which absolutely subverted Luo Xiu's cognition for many years, and he tried to imagine the day when he could soar through the clouds, how enviable, although Luo Xiu had been calm since he was a child, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement at this time.
Time always flies quickly, the sun and the moon alternate, and the morning comes very quickly, "Senior Brother Luo Xiu, the master is waiting for you in the main hall, come with me." A disciple shouted outside. "Alright, here we are. ”
"Apprentice, these are your senior uncles, and the following are your senior brothers and sisters. Red Tooth pointed to the various figures in the hall. Luo Xiu said with interest, "Meet the master, uncle, I have met all the senior brothers and sisters." ”
"Red Tooth, this is your new apprentice? It doesn't look like you have any foundation at all! Are you sure you're not looking for the wrong person?" Luo Xiu followed the voice and saw a big man with fluffy hair and ragged clothes, Luo Xiu couldn't help frowning.
"Senior brother, this is exactly the immortal seedling I am looking for, this time I invite you out of the mountain, that is, I will entrust this son to you to teach, you are the most clever in our Taoism, and you and I can rest assured that this son is handed over to you and me. Chiyazi was not angry because of the recklessness of the big man, but said with a pleasant face.
"Luo Xiu, Senior Uncle Zhang will be responsible for teaching you some basic Taoist techniques and common sense in the cultivation realm in the future, you have to study hard. "Knowing the master," Luo Xiu replied, but he rolled his eyes in his heart, "Damn, how do I feel that he is going to kill me... ’
"Then I'll take him away, boy, come here. The big man shouted. "Yes, Uncle Shi. As soon as he approached the big man, he was picked up by the big man and took off into the air. Luo Xiu secretly thought, 'It's really rough, I can't disobey him, otherwise I will have to suffer a little'
"Boy, do you regret that the old immortal of the red tooth handed you over to me?" the big man asked suddenly. "No, where do you regret it, Uncle Shi's Taoism is exquisite, and I volunteered to learn from Uncle Shi. Luo Xiuyan said insincerely.
"Good boy, count your acquaintance, come on boy, let me tell you about the division of the realm of cultivation, the realm of cultivation is generally divided into: Qi refining, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, out-of-body, distraction, integration, tribulation, Mahayana. Cultivating to Mahayana will allow you to ascend in the daytime, these are still early for you, I will teach you to forge the body first. "Now, we're just ... Yes, Uncle Shi. Halfway through Luo Xiu's words, he held back. "You should follow this body forging scripture first. "Yes, Uncle Shi. Luo Xiu endured the thought of slapping the uncle to death, and watched the big man staggering and sitting at the small stone table and drinking. "Look, hurry. "Yes, Uncle Shi. Time passed slowly, and there was only a thin figure struggling to beat on the cold hill. The sun was gradually setting, and Uncle Shi finally stopped drinking, "Okay, let's stop here today, good job, you go find a place to rest, and continue tomorrow." After saying that, he left with a flask and swayed.
Luo Xiu sat down suddenly, although his body was scarred, he knew that it was effective, because he felt the lightness of his body and the vitality that was different from the past. He found a mountain spring, scrubbed his wounds, picked some wild fruits, rested for a while, and then got up to continue his exercise, he didn't want to waste time swallowing slowly.
Under the moonlight, Uncle Zhang said to himself, "This son is not simple, his character is so resolute, he will become a big climate." He shook his head for a moment and left.
Day after day, month after month, half a year passed quietly. "Boy, you must have paid a lot for your forging speed so fast, since this is the case, I will teach you the introductory Dao technique today. "Yes, Uncle Shi. After more than half a year of tempering, Luo Xiu is no longer the young man, although he is excited, he does not show it.
"I'll teach you simple low-cost exercises first. Otherwise, you won't be able to cast spells. "Yuan Gang Qi Jue" This exercise is the most basic masculine exercise in the cultivation realm, I look at your root bones, this trick is suitable, you come with me, I will help you break the rules and open up the Yuan Gang Qi veins. Half a day later, all the 4 Yuan Gang Qi veins were opened. "Boy, it's up to you to understand this trick, I'll see you in half a month. After that, it shot out like a green rainbow.
Luo Xiu's eyes were hot for a while, and he worked harder to comprehend the "Yuan Gang Qi Jue", but unfortunately Luo Xiu couldn't sense the existence of that true qi no matter what, calm down! Slowly Luo Xiu fell into the realm of emptiness. He saw the four meridians, and there was a trace of true qi circling in the meridians, and Luo Xiu slowly sensed it, slowly guiding the true qi to converge to the nodes of the meridians.
If Uncle Zhang knew about Luo Xiu's current situation, he would definitely be surprised that his eyes would fall out, because Luo Xiu was looking inward, and a young monk who had just started practicing Qi could do it inwardly, which would definitely make him feel ashamed.
However, Luo Xiu didn't know all this, he succeeded, he tirelessly ran the true qi round and round, and slowly, the true qi in the dantian was as thick as a hair. Luo Xiu was ecstatic, he finally succeeded, and in the next few days, Luo Xiu worked day and night to expand his true qi, and when he was tired, he collapsed on the bed to rest, and the appointed time soon came.
"How's it going, boy, don't let me down. A voice came from afar.
"Uncle Shi, the disciple has succeeded. Luo Xiu replied proudly.
"Don't be proud, the following is really difficult, fire control is a low-cost spell for cultivating the truth, suitable for monks who have just come into contact with the cultivation of the truth to learn and use, you listen, the following is the method of running the true qi, follow me, extract the true qi through the vein and run it to the fingers, and feel it slowly. Okay, you try slowly, I've got to take a step beforehand. ”
Luo Xiu was speechless for a while, every time it was a critical time, this cheap uncle would always slip away in advance, and he had been groping for it himself...
Luo Xiu gritted his teeth, struggled to control the condensation of the fireball, and finally "Go. . . The fireball flew towards the tree in front of it. Unfortunately, before it could hit the target, it collapsed into the air. "Whew... It's so hard.,This fireball is really hard to control.,Come again.。。 Luo Xiu worked hard to condense the fireball and shoot it out, and when he lost his true qi, he meditated and ran the Yuan Gang Qi to return to his true heart. In the past ten days, Luo Xiu has mastered the use of fire control techniques with great difficulty, but it is still extremely laborious.
But Uncle Zhang completely saw Luo Xiu's potential, thinking that back then, he had learned fire control techniques for half a year, and Luo Xiu could master them in only 10 days, although he could not use them continuously and it was more laborious to use. But if you give him half a year, I don't know how far he can master, it can be described as a genius. The more I thought about it, the more Uncle Zhang looked at Luo Xiu, the hotter it became, as if he had picked up a treasure.
And this scene fell in Luo Xiu's eyes, but he felt a chill... That look is as if ... It's like a lover.。。 This reminded Luo Xiu of the legendary same-sex orientation. I couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Uncle Zhang saw Luo Xiu's strange appearance, "Stinky boy, go on, what do you think." Go on!"
Luo Xiu quickly came back to his senses and found that he was really out of state just now, it seemed that he was thinking too much, and he couldn't help but feel hot. This almost made Uncle Zhang think that he was a reversal of true qi.
"Boy, here is a book of Taoist insights, which I wrote by myself, you can take it and take a good look at it, it may be of some help to you. ”
"Thank you, uncle. Luo Xiu took the handwriting. Stroking the rough cover, it seems to be as relieved as if it has been treasured.
"Uncle Shi, the head of the family invites Uncle Shi to come out of the mountain for a gathering, and there are important things to discuss. Two disciples at the foot of the mountain shouted with a telephonic technique.
"Boy, I'll go back as soon as I go, that old immortal usually doesn't have anything important to do, he won't shout like this, you practice hard here." Without looking at Luo Xiu, he turned into a green rainbow and left.
"Hmm... It seems that I am going to speed up my learning, and it will be so long before I can have a fire control technique. Luo Xiu looked at Uncle Zhang's Taoist experience, and gradually became fascinated...
