Chapter 13: A Village in the Mountains

Shi Lei led Liuyun to the center of the village. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info A few cauldrons were set up in the open space, the heat was boiling, and the fragrance was constantly emitting, which couldn't help but arouse the cravings in Liuyun's stomach. But after all, it's someone else's land, so you can't be too embarrassed, Liuyun swallowed his saliva, trying to maintain his demeanor. As if to divert his attention, he looked around, and there were still some people in the open space, all of them looking at him curiously, and from time to time someone showed a kind smile, and nodded in response when they saw this. In the distance, surrounded by mountains, this village was actually built in the valley, which made Liuyun a little surprised, I don't know how they usually live.

"Bang-" Liuyun stumbled and almost lost his head, he turned back angrily, "Old Black, what are you doing?"

Shi Lei laughed, "Look at your small body, it's forbidden for me to touch it so lightly." ”

"Touch it gently, is that 'gentle'?" the corners of Liuyun's mouth twitched.

Shi Lei said embarrassedly: "I just thought, isn't this a meal yet, I'll take you to meet the village chief first." So saying, he led him toward one of them.

Seeing this, Liuyun also followed. According to Shi Lei, this village chief is the most knowledgeable person they have here, so there are some things that Liuyun wants to ask again.

When he arrived at the village chief, Liuyun looked carefully, it was an old man in the age of a sixtieth year, and the rings of the years left a furrow on his face. When the old man saw someone looking for him, he smiled charitantly, "Leizi, this is the little guy you brought back." ”

"To Sahac is him. Shi Lei patted Liuyun's shoulder heavily.

"Ahem", Liuyun glared at Shi Lei, and then greeted the old man respectfully: "The old gentleman is polite." ”

"Little one, don't be polite. It's not as much red tape out there. The old man said modestly, "Lao Yu is the village chief of this cow, his surname is Fan, and he can call Lao Yu the village chief." ”

"Yes, boy Liuyun. May I ask the old village chief how far away from Chenzhou is?" Liuyun Shicai also asked Shi Lei, but Shi Lei knew very little, so he asked.

Fan Lao condensed and recalled for a while before replying: "People are old, and their memory is not bright. Fortunately, this question can still be remembered. This Chenzhou is adjacent to our Xuzhou, separated by the Bailing Mountains, so although it is bordered, there are not many commercial exchanges. ”

"Does the old village chief know about Qingyuan County in Chenzhou?" asked Liuyun again.

"This..." frowned, Fan Lao thought about it seriously, and found that he didn't have this place name in his impression, so he had to say helplessly: "I'm sorry, I don't know." ”

Hearing this, Liuyun was a little disappointed, but he still thanked: "Thank you to the old village chief for solving your doubts." In fact, Liuyun's heart is very conflicted, he doesn't want to return to the sad place, and he misses his hometown a little, especially his friends such as Fang Xi. However, he also understands that there is no point in going back now, and it is likely to live up to his sister's good intentions. Hey, I don't know what to do next. Thinking that he is now rootless duckweed, Liuyun can't help but feel a little confused and worried.

Fan Lao, who had a lot of experience, saw something and kindly proposed: "Little one, if you don't dislike this poor country, you can live here in peace." ”

"Yes, yes, I don't see you have anywhere to go, so you might as well live with us. I'll teach you how to hunt. Shi Lei was also on the side to help.

Liuyun was a little moved, thinking that he was unfamiliar with his life and had no means of making a living, so he didn't act cowardly, and immediately said: "Then it's troublesome for you." ”

"It's okay, just stay in peace. Today, you will squeeze it with Leizi, and tomorrow will build a house for you. Fan Lao said with a smile.

"How embarrassing is this, it's good to be able to take me in, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Lei interjected: "What's so embarrassing, help each other, if you don't want to go, won't you help back in the future." As he spoke, he wanted to pat Liuyun on the shoulder again, but he dodged him.

"Oh well. Liuyun, who couldn't stand their enthusiasm, nodded in agreement.

At this time, Fan Lao reminded: "The meal is ready, go eat." ”

Liuyun was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, and when he heard this, he immediately ran towards the food as if he had been pardoned. Not to be outdone, Shi Lei followed. Fan Lao looked at this scene, and his love was even worse.

In the clearing, Liuyun is gobbling up a lot of food, but there is one thing that makes him very depressed, that is, Xiaoli's food problem. He wanted to give half of his meal to her, but Xiaoli didn't eat meat, which made him wonder if he hadn't seen his sister eat meat before. But he didn't know that Liuli did not eat meat before, and he only reluctantly swallowed it in order to accommodate his younger brother. Helpless, Liuyun could only ask for some fruits and vegetables to feed Xiaoli, but fortunately, she did not refuse vegetarian food, which made Liuyun relieved and realized how difficult it was for her sister to take care of herself.

After dinner, everyone sat around the bonfire, and in the middle were Fan Lao and Liuyun. It turned out that this was specially arranged by the village chief Fan Lao in order to welcome Liuyun to join. A pair of eyes stared at Liuyun, which made him a little restrained, who had always been generous, and he was a little shy when he lowered his head and hugged Xiaoli.

"Ahem, everyone, this is Liuyun, and we will be a family from now on. Fan Lao announced loudly, and then lightly touched the flowing cloud on his side and motioned for him to say a few words.

Liuyun cheered himself up, took a step forward, and introduced himself: "My name is Liuyun, please take care of me in the future." When he finished speaking, he bowed again.

"The boy is very handsome, and he can have more contact with my girl in the future. ”

"Haha, Sister Zhang, just your daughter, just don't scare others. ”

"That's it, Liuyun, don't listen to their nonsense, come and sit with me when you have time in the future. ”

“......”

The enthusiasm of everyone made a warm current flow in the heart of Liuyun, who had seen the indifference of human nature not long ago, and he couldn't stop nodding in return, looking sincere.

In the conversation with everyone, Liuyun has a deeper understanding of this place. The ancestors of this village were a group of displaced people who fled the war, and accidentally found this place, and found that there were mountains and rivers suitable for life, so they settled here. Disgusted by the war, they cut off contact with the outside world and warned future generations not to leave once they were able to become self-sufficient. This place is very remote and difficult to find, and over time, the outside world has forgotten about it.

Generations have changed, and in their generation, there are still about 20 families in the village, a total of only 100 people. The old village chief was able to have those insights because of the adventurous feelings of his youth, when he was very curious about the outside world, and despite the opposition of the villagers, he insisted on walking through the mountains to the outside, but after a few years he returned, and it is unknown what happened during this period, but he also warned the villagers not to go out like his ancestors, and because of his rich knowledge, he was later elected as the village chief. As for Lao Hei, he was brought up by this Fan Lao, and at the same time he was the next village chief, which made Liuyun a little surprised.

After a while, everyone retreated. After Liuyun said goodbye to them, he followed Shi Lei back to his residence. Shi Lei made a bunk on the ground with some animal skins, and left the bed to Liuyun. To paraphrase him, "You kid don't be like a, and I'll tie you to bed again." Liuyun was grateful, but he didn't show it in front of him, just obediently lay down on the bed. Liuyun slept in the bed, and of course Xiaoli was with him, and Xiaoli's size didn't take up space at all.

Lying on the bed, Liuyun tossed and turned and had no intention of sleeping, partly because of Shi Lei's thunderous snoring, which made him even more determined to get his room up quickly and then sleep alone. And the other, more important reason is that he is thinking about life. The first thing to bear the brunt of is my sister's business, but it's useless to think about it. The second is what he encountered in that mysterious space, he knows that it is not a dream, or it is not a simple dream, and the scriptures engraved in his mind remind him of the reality of the matter all the time.

Looking at the silent night outside the window, the scriptures in Liuyun's mind flashed out inadvertently, the glory of the sun, the essence of yang energy, is the refining of the morning light, the flower of the stars and the moon, and the essence of yin qi are refining the middle heaven. This means that the essence of yang energy is in the rising sun, and the essence of yin energy is in the middle of the night, and these two times are the best time to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. While being able to directly understand the meaning of the scriptures, Liuyun also has some more methods in his mind to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, which are also brought in the scriptures.

Seeing that it was almost time, Liuyun was a little hesitant, but when he thought that when his sister fought with that Huiyu, he couldn't help at all, and suddenly, he had a decision.

Because it was a kimono and slept in clothes, so there was no need to dress, Liuyun got up quietly, tiptoed out of the door, and when he got outside, he was relieved, fortunately he didn't wake up Lao Hei, otherwise it would be very troublesome to explain, and it is estimated that he can only use the toilet or something like prevarication.

At this time, there was a soft touch from his calf, which almost frightened Liuyun to scream, and when he looked down, it turned out that Xiaoli came out with him. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, hugged Xiaoli up, and glanced at her with some disgust, but Xiaoli rubbed in his arms unconsciously. Seeing this, Liuyun was helpless, and he couldn't really blame Xiaoli, so he could only let her go.

Choosing a suitable place, Liuyun put Xiaoli beside him, then sat cross-legged, straightened his waist, and made different postures with his left and right hands, among which his left hand was in the shape of a flower, and his palm was placed three inches away from the purple palace acupoint on his chest, and his right hand was clenched into a fist, and the heart of the fist was built into the abdomen qi sea acupoint, and then the silent mind began to absorb the essence of the night's yin qi in the way he remembered.

At first he didn't feel anything, but he didn't give up and continued in this position. Finally, when his patience was about to wear off, a cool breath entered his body along the pores. As soon as that breath entered, Liuyun felt a burst of coolness, extremely refreshing, and it was simply refreshing. However, he immediately came back to his senses, suppressed the joy and excitement in his heart, and guided it to the sea of qi according to a human meridian route.

Since they can't see what is going on inside the body, which is called "looking inside", Liuyun can only rely on their senses. After that breath entered the sea of qi, he clearly sensed that something seemed to be more in his lower abdomen, but he didn't know what was going on. If there are experts here, they will know that this is opening up the lower dantian, but the general martial arts heart method or cultivation method is not so powerful, and they can absorb the essence of this kind of heaven and earth aura, and they all absorb the ordinary aura between heaven and earth to complete this work.

With the previous successful experience, Liuyun absorbed more and more proficiently, and the amount of absorption gradually increased, but he didn't notice that when he absorbed the essence of yin qi, a small part of it overflowed to Xiao Li's body, Xiao Li just felt that the breath made him very comfortable, and instinctively began to absorb it.

As soon as the time passed, Liuyun, who obviously felt the decrease in yin qi, stopped exercising. With a long sigh of relief, Liuyun stood up and moved his body, the long sitting made him very hard, if it weren't for the pleasure of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and the desire for strength, he didn't know if he could hold on to an action for so long. Liuyun checked the results of the next night, and felt that his body had not strengthened much, and he couldn't help but feel lost. Forget it, let's practice first. It's a mentality that talking is better than nothing. If any monk knew the inside story, he would definitely scold him for his tyrannical cruelty.

Liuyun, who was a little tired, picked up Xiaoli and sneaked back again. Then he lost sleep again, the reason is that the snoring of a certain big man is really shocking. Liuyun lay on the bed and wanted to cry without tears.
