On the day of the winter solstice, the sun was very good, and the gloomy dark clouds of the previous days did not know where to go, and there was not a trace of clouds in the clear sky.

Today is the day of the annual festival, from the Son of Heaven to the people, they must sacrifice to heaven and earth on this day, thank the country and the people for the wind and rain of this year, and pray for peace and peace in the coming year.

The specifications of the winter festival are the highest of all the festivals, and naturally the whole village participates.

The presiding officer of the sacrifice is the seventy-four-year-old village chief, who is so old that he has lost his beard, and only a few sparse eyebrows remain. With the support of his two great-grandsons, he stood tremblingly on the makeshift platform, and recited a blessing and prayer to the incense table of worshipping heaven and earth.

The old man's health is already very poor, and his memory is not good. I don't even remember the prayers that have been said countless times over the years, and the short passage has been said intermittently for almost half an hour, and I don't know how many times I have added it upside down.

But from these upside-down words, Wu Xie heard full of sincerity. Whether the old man really believes that heaven and earth can bless everyone, at least his expectations for the future are sincere.

It doesn't matter if the incense and offerings on the table are made, only this sincerity is the key to the realization of the sacrifice.

Sacrifice a way, only true and sincere, only sincerity can move heaven and earth.

After the prayers, the whole village pays homage to heaven and earth. Because Du Tuanlian wanted to participate in the big sacrifice in the army in the county government, the team in this village was headed by Dr. Wu.

At this time, Dr. Wu's identity was not the old marquis of Jishihou's mansion, but the old doctor of the village. And Wu Xie is not a dignified Ji Shihou or a living immortal, but the son of Dr. Wu.

He stood inconspicuously at the front of the middle of the line, and with his brother, like every ordinary villager, he honestly participated in the worship.

After the Winter Festival, there is a celebration. Wu Xie didn't participate, just stood next to the venue and watched from afar.

"Why don't you go and have fun?" Brother Wu Cheng came over with his two sons and asked with a smile.

"No, if I go over, I'm afraid it will cause them a mess." Wu Xie smiled, looking at the short beard that had grown on his brother's face at some point, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong? Is there anything upset about? ”

"Time flies! I still remember when I saw the immortal fighting method and made up my mind to go out to seek immortals...... At that time, I was only fifteen, you were only nineteen, and I had just been married for a few days, and I was shouting all day long that men had to support their families and make money to support their families, as if our family was very poor......"

"Actually, our family is not poor at all." Thinking of what happened at the beginning, Wu Cheng couldn't help but smile, "As a result, within a few months, you came back with a few hundred taels of silver." Then in a blink of an eye, he took down the pharmacy in the city...... Wouldn't you have cultivated to become an immortal by then? ”

"At that time, it was just a little immortal, and it was very early to become an immortal." Eight years have passed since the incident, and Wu Xie has no need to keep it secret, and said casually, "It's that Sanshan Dao man, in fact, is also an immortal - but from the evil sect." Looking back now, we have been neighbors with a cult immortal who kills people without blinking an eye for so many years......"

"yes, it's a little scary when I think about it! Poor Ah Ruo, she ...... at a young age" Wu Cheng sighed, shook his head, and said with regret, "Maybe...... That's fate......"

"Fate...... Is it? Wu Xie groaned and fell into deep thought.

With Du Ruo's talent, hard work, character and heart, if he hadn't died young, no matter which immortal sect he went to, he would have been able to be included in the door, at least Qingyangguan would definitely be happy to have such a good disciple. But because of her lack of experience, she fell into the trap of the Sanshan Dao people and was taken away, and now she can only become a ghost living in the realm of the Heavenly Book World......

Probably in the dark, there really is a "number of lives", right?

But the number of lives is obviously not absolute, otherwise there is no need for several heirs of Buyi's god to compete for Li Buyi's true inheritance, everyone will know who can get and who can't, and Changchun Zhenren doesn't need to help Xiong Hao to rebel, and he also lost his old life.

Wu Xie once consulted Xiao Buyi, how powerful is fate? And Xiao Buyi's answer is that three points are in life, and seven points are in people.

It's just that...... For those who lack sufficient strength and correct knowledge, "seven points in people" is nothing more than empty words.

The weaker the person, the more powerless they are in front of fate. The strength of the mind, the strength of the power, the strength of the spirit...... If you want to choke fate, these are indispensable!

He was so pensive that he couldn't help but clench his fists.

It feels good to go home, but he is an immortal cultivator after all, a person who pursues transcendence of the earth, life and death, and destiny!

Finish this work early, and then go back to the mountain to continue cultivating!

With this in mind, after the winter festival was over, he hurriedly returned to the county seat to guide his apprentices to continue their cultivation.

The Radiating Star Dou Clarity Mystic Method is a very simple and reliable exercise, although Wu Xie has not practiced it himself, but with his realm and vision, it is very easy to guide others to start cultivating.

In order to help Jobs get started as soon as possible, he also went to the Heavenly Book World Realm and asked Jasmine to use his supreme supernatural powers to evolve some starlight true qi, and then pass it on to his apprentices to experience it carefully.

The amount of these true qi is very small, but it is enough to help Jobs take the key step of "sensing starlight". Within a few days, this young man, who had been cultivating hard every day, had successfully picked up the power of starlight and finally embarked on the path of cultivation.

After completing this, it is to push open the portal to the Supreme Dao, and then Wu Xie can't help too much, he must rely on his own hard work, and accumulate the power of starlight little by little, until he achieves something.

In this process, his body will be constantly refined and strengthened, and the acupuncture points and meridians will also be constantly warmed and strengthened. As long as he persists in cultivating, he will continue to grow stronger......

Wu Xie hoped that the next time he went home to visit his relatives, he would see that his apprentice had broken through the innate realm.

"Disciples who cultivate the Great Sun Bright Technique can generally break through to the innate realm within half a year to two years, and this Radiating Star Dou Clear Light Wonderful Method enters the realm a little slowly, it is estimated that it will be one or two years fast, and three or five years at the slowest, and it will be about the same." Du Xin said, "Maybe before you see sexuality, he has already successfully entered the Tao." ”

"I hope so......" Wu Xie replied with a smile as he galloped through the sky with sword light.

He did not go to Changning City, but came directly to Nanping County to meet with the clay.

The Tao family still has a house, but the clay did not live in it, but used a spell to refine a small wooden house next to the family's cemetery, and lived there as if he was keeping filial piety.

When Wu Xie saw him, he was dressed in white and was making a pottery statue, and outside the cabin, there were many pottery statues that had been made.

"This is the statue I made for my relatives." "When I returned to my hometown, I found that although it had only been a few years, many people didn't remember the Tao family very much...... Although I know that this is a matter of course, I always feel uncomfortable. ”

"So you made these statues? Where are you going to put them? Is it next to the cemetery, or inside your big house? ”

Tao Tu smiled bitterly: "Those places are not suitable, what should I do if I scare others?" In fact, I haven't figured out the right way to deal with it. ”

Wu Xie thought for a while and said, "You used to prosper here because of pottery, right?" ”

"That's right, but there aren't many potters here anymore."

"Then let's build a memorial hall to let people know about the prosperity of this place!"

This ingenious idea made the clay's eyes suddenly light up and he gave a thumbs up.

"Worthy of a senior brother! Good way! ”

The two immortals are out of the horse, and it is natural to build a memorial hall. They bought a few houses in the town that were close to each other, then bulldozed them with their magic to build a simple but surprisingly large house. Inside the house, the clay uses a clay statue to introduce the prosperity of the town in the past.

His craftsmanship is exquisite, and with Wu Jie's help, it only took ten days to build the memorial hall.

The weather wasn't very nice on the day it opened, and it was a little foggy, but that didn't stop the curious, and almost the whole town came to see the excitement. They wandered around the memorial hall, marveling at the extraordinary powers of the clay and Wu Jie, and admiring the lifelike sculptures.

The pottery statues inside the memorial hall are all shrunken, and from a distance, it looks like a town has shrunk here. While the pedestrians and workshops in the town take clay and sell pottery carts, and outside the city there are pottery pits and clay kilns...... Everything is exactly the same as it was at the beginning.

Walking inside the memorial hall is like crossing the river of time and witnessing the prosperity of the town in the past.

More than one person burst into tears when he looked at the lifelike sculptures in front of him, and many old potters found their statues in the memorial hall, sighing and proud as they looked at them.

"It's all over...... It's all gone......" sighed an old man who was once a master potter, "I'm too old to make fine pottery." And there are no people in our town who can do this business well...... Even if you make pottery now, you may not be able to sell it......"

"yes...... I can only look at these pottery statues and slowly recall......"

"But that's good! Seeing this is like seeing the original town! ”

"Yes! When I saw this, I felt that I had not lived in vain in my life! ”

While people were talking, Wu Xie and Tao Tu had already left the town with their sword lights.

"Senior brother, thank you!"

"What is there to be thankful for, it's just a memorial."

"It's not just a memorial!" Looking back at his hometown in the mist, he smiled and said, "This memorial will definitely attract many people to visit, and there will definitely be people who will be willing to contribute money and effort to start the pottery business again." ”

Wu Xie was stunned, he really hadn't thought of this possibility.

"I want to ...... If you come back in 10 or 8 years, maybe the town will have returned to its original state! Tao Tu smiled happily, "Before that, I'll work hard and work hard to cultivate to the realm of hundred refinements!" ”

"Why did you suddenly think of cultivating?"

"Because I think that when the time comes, seeing that scene with my own eyes may touch me, and maybe I will directly break through the barrier of insight...... For us, cultivation is the most important thing! ”

"Well said! Cultivating to become an immortal and ascending to heaven is our fundamental goal! ”

"Hey, hey! Big brother, your goal is too ambitious, I can't keep up with you! ”

The winter mist was dispersed by the sword light like a wave, and the two of them talked and laughed, and flew towards the fairy mountain.

Hometown is just hometown, and the direction of their future progress is not the officialdom, martial arts or business world of mortal dust, but the road to heaven for cultivating immortals!
