Chapter 2: Eight Years! [Ask for collection!] Ask for follow-up! 】
The silver chain village is located in the south of Tianlin Cave.
Forty years ago.
It must have been fifty-two years ago.
At that time, an immortal master came to Tianlin Mountain to open up a cave, accompanied by dozens of 'True Yuan Period' and hundreds of 'True Qi Period' quasi-monks, who mastered the three hundred mountain villages, including Yinlian Village, in a short period of time, and spread words and exercises, issued various rules, and educated one side.
Fifty-two years ago, the population of Yinlianzhai was only about 400.
Forty years later, the population had swelled three or four times, totaling nearly two thousand.
And this year, the old and young in the village add up, and there must be a population of 3,000.
Two people and three children!
Eighteen years of generation!
Not only Yinlian Village, but also the population of Sanbaitong Village is all surging.
The truth in this is that Meng Nan understands -
"It's hard to cultivate immortals!"
"If you want to cultivate immortal cultivators and cultivators, you must have a huge population base as support."
"First, it is easier to emerge good seedlings."
"Second, a large amount of manpower to grow grain, mine, cultivate and collect medicines, all of which are needed by the immortal master."
Therefore, each village will vigorously develop the population, even as the first task.
What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom.
Originally, it was only required that each family in each village have at least one child.
But year by year 'interpretation'.
In Meng Nan's generation, it had already increased to two. For example, their family is his brother and his two children.
But the two of them were already the last.
After that, every family will have to force three children.
Until now.
"I heard that there are still many people in the village who are discussing forcing the fourth or fifth child, but they were stopped by Aunt Qian Yu."
"Aunt Qian Yu, you know, right?"
"Two days before we got married, she had just been promoted to the 'True Qi Period', and she was able to speak in the village at that time. Two years ago, it became the 'True Yuan Period' again, and even the owner of the village had to give some face. If it weren't for her, we might both have to continue to live. ”
Zhao Xiaoshuang seemed to be chattering, in short, it was natural to tell Meng Nan some of the situations in the village in the past ten years.
Money rain.
Aunt Rain.
Of course Meng Nan has heard of it.
She is also a woman from other villages who married into Yinlian Village, just like Zhao Xiaoshuang. However, Qian Yu is talented in cultivation, and when he got married, he was already a 'visualization realm'. After getting married, he didn't give up his cultivation, and it didn't take long for him to be promoted to the 'Internal Qi Period'. When he was thirty years old, that is, two days before Meng Nan got married, he was promoted to the 'True Qi Period'.
At that time, there were not even twenty people in the true qi period in the village, so of course they had the right to speak.
The true yuan period is even more rare.
Even the current Silver Chain Village, there are only three in total. She occupies a seat, and even the opinions put forward by the owner of the village have to be considered, and she dare not ignore them.
"Ten years will be promoted to the True Yuan Period!"
"From fetal breath to internal qi, to true qi, to true yuan, it only took twenty-two years."
"I also took the time to give birth to three children in the middle!"
Meng Nan didn't think it at the beginning, but now looking back, looking at the first half of Qian Yu's life, this is a cow!
He came interested.
In the bamboo forest, while doing carpentry work, Zhao Xiaoshuang, who was rushing to help, asked Qian Yu about the situation: "How did she cultivate so fast?" Was there any adventure? ”
After a few hesitations when he first arrived, Meng Nan is quickly adapting to this future time and space, just as he was adapting to this strange world.
Calm down.
Take a closer look.
It is difficult to stay in this future time and space for a long time, so the benefits for him are nothing more than two things-
The first one, eight years of meticulous practice, cultivation can't be brought back, but lessons can be brought back. If you go back after eight years, it's just that the cultivation is empty, and it should still be easy to rebuild.
Again, since we have come to the future time and space, we will push forward from now, twelve years, and from now on, eight years.
In the past twenty years, he can roughly grasp the big and small things in the silver chain village-
Who are the people in the stockade?
Where was a treasure ever born?
What year is the harvest.
When there is a disaster.
Wait on this, he knows now that it's useless, but when he returns to reality, it is equivalent to mastering the 'future', taking the first step to make friends, searching for treasures, and then avoiding disasters, is he still worried about not being able to cultivate?
For example, Qian Yu.
Making friends in advance is beneficial and harmless.
Of course, this one had already been promoted to the True Qi stage twelve years ago, and there must have been a lot of people who scolded her, and it was not easy for Meng Nan to climb up.
But if she has adventures to practice quickly, can she get it one step ahead?
Cultivating immortals is not allowed to be polite.
has the opportunity to get treasures and opportunities, Meng Nan is not hypocritical.
As for whether Qian Yu has any adventures-
"Really!"
Zhao Xiaoshuang smiled, and said an interesting story: "It is rumored that in the early years of Aunt Qian Yu, about seven or eight years ago, when she returned to her parents' house, she took a shortcut, and then met a tree called 'Suoluozi' in the south of the village. However, this kind of fruit is not very useful for the cultivation of the 'True Yuan Period', and after she was promoted, she had already transplanted this tree into the stockade and had a special person to guard it. ”
said.
Zhao Xiaoshuang glanced at the three brothers and sisters of Meng Santan who were also helping in the distance, and looked forward to it: "When they reach the age of cultivation, if they behave well, maybe they will be able to eat one or two spirit fruits, which will be helpful for cultivation." ”
There is such a spirit tree in the village, and the spirit fruits that are concluded will of course be used first by the group of people with backgrounds.
But Zhao Xiaoshuang heard that this tree bears a lot of fruit, and there will always be more, so that the cultivators who perform well in the village may also be able to be given some.
Something is better than nothing.
It's better to have hope than not to have hope.
Zhao Xiaoshuang is quick with her hands and feet, clearly organized, and she speaks to Meng Nan in a familiar tone. Driven by this, Meng Nan quickly became familiar with her.
The newlywed wife twelve years ago was not familiar with it, but she experienced the feeling of an old husband and wife first.
Honestly-
"Not bad."
Meng Nan also smiled and gradually adapted.
……
Night.
After talking to Zhao Xiaoshuang for a while, Meng Nan sat cross-legged on the bamboo futon he had weaved, and there was a coolness under his buttocks, he adjusted his posture and began to practice.
The first level of practice: fetal breath.
The first level of fetal breath: meditation.
Meditation, that is, alignment.
This is the beginning of spiritual practice.
Meng Nan has been in this small level for two years, but he has not been able to reach the realm of 'heart descending at will, head and hands are like nothingness, only feeling a little true breath in and out of the umbilicus, and moving away', and he has not been able to step into the threshold of 'Qi Sense Realm'.
Helpless.
You can only endure hardship, but only persevere.
Meng Nan inquired from Zhao Xiaoshuang that 'he' was promoted to the 'Qi Perception Realm' in the second year of marriage, and the 'Visualization Realm' to be promoted in the eighth year of marriage.
And then stay all the time.
Until you go mad.
There are many difficulties in cultivation, and there are all kinds of dangers.
'Going mad' is the most common one, and it is not uncommon in the cultivation world.
Even small silver chains appear occasionally.
Not unusual.
"But I have to practice carefully now, and strive to achieve 'visualization' in these eight years, and even step into the 'inner qi stage'."
Meng Nan didn't know what to do because even if he died here again, he just returned to reality.
Don't say anything, it's okay to die, why don't you dare to wave if you're afraid of death.
It's just that this opportunity is too important.
I'm not qualified to wave yet.
If the waves die and die in the 'quiet state', it is equivalent to a trip in vain. Next time, I don't know what the future plane will ask for, and when will it be.
Be careful.
"Regardless of the watermelon and sesame seeds, it is true to catch it in your hand first."
Meng Nan's current goal is to cultivate 'internal qi'.
Others, let's see.
……
In the next few days, Meng Nan was familiar with this time and space, life after twelve years, and understanding all kinds of things in the past twelve years.
A few more days passed.
He went to see the 'Suoluozi' tree that was transplanted by Qian Yu in the village and guarded. At first glance, the tree looked like a tea tree, short and inconspicuous.
Meng Nan glanced at it from time to time, remembering the appearance of each stage and season of this tree in his mind.
I took the time to inquire about the place where Qian Yu found this 'Suoluozi' tree.
Many people in this place know, and even the owner of the village has come to see it, and it is not difficult to inquire about it, and it is not difficult to come over. In fact, it is a remote mountain col that does not often come to people, not far from the silver chain village, with the footsteps of Meng Nan, it takes about an hour. When you come here, you can vaguely see the soil pit left behind after digging up the 'Suluozi' tree.
Meng Nan made a note of this location and decided to come back and visit it several times a year in the future.
There is also the 'Suoluozi' tree in the village, and you have to continue to look at it, often look at it, and strive to write it down thoroughly, and the years will not grind.
There was little news about the small village, and counting back twelve years, there were very few things worth commendating.
Even less useful to Meng Nan.
Qian Yu's promotion to the true yuan period is counted as one.
The 'sarozi' tree counts as one.
And then, it's gone.
A year has passed.
Two years have passed.
In the middle of the second year that Meng Nan came here, far away in Tianlin Cave, there was a quasi-monk at the peak of the True Yuan Period, who was inscribed five times, positioned Sanjiao, and then successfully promoted to Qi Cultivation Immortal Master, becoming the first Immortal Master promoted in the fifty-four years since Tianlin Cave was opened.
For a time, the whole world celebrates!
The amnesty of the 300 Villages, the holiday of the holiday, the setting of the table, the festive to the extreme.
Yinlian Village has been set up for seven days in a row, the whole village is in charge of eating and drinking, the children are happy, and the adults are laughing all day long.
It has nothing to do with them when others are promoted to Qi Cultivators.
But holidays and flowing seats are real benefits.
Meng Nan's family also had a good time in the past seven days.
On the evening of the seventh day.
It was rare for Meng Nan not to practice, and he had a good time with Zhao Xiaoshuang.
It wasn't until the next morning that he got up and practiced the morning class.
Bamboo futons.
Meng Nan sat cross-legged, his upper body was upright, his hands were holding the meridian buckle, his eyes were hanging down, and his eyes were looking at his nose. The nose looks at the mouth, and the mouth looks at the heart.
The tongue touches the palate, the heart, the mind, and the mind guard the umbilicus, and the mind does not move.
I don't know how long it has been.
Meng Nanhu's heart moved, and at that moment, he seemed to have no head or hands, he couldn't sense anything, everything was nothing.
The senses of the limbs are gone.
Other aspects are more obvious.
For example.
Meng Nan felt that at the position of his navel, there seemed to be a little warmth and coldness, crispy and numb, very peculiar.
But no matter how much he supports, this cool breath will never move.
When it's too little.
Meng Nan was a little tired, and he naturally opened his eyes.
It wasn't until the moment he opened his eyes that he reacted-
"A little bit of truth!"
"It's a sense of gas!"
……
"Cultivated back to 'Qi Sense'?"
"That's a good thing!"
On the same day, Zhao Xiaoshuang was quite surprised to learn that Meng Nan had broken through again.
She has been married to Meng Nan for many years, and she knows this person's obsession with cultivating immortals best. As soon as she opened her eyes early in the morning of the second day of her wedding, she saw Meng Nan meditating and practicing in the house.
More than ten years later.
It never stops.
Last year, Meng Nan almost died, and Zhao Xiaoshuang was immersed in the surprise of Meng Nan's resurrection at first. Later, he began to worry that Meng Nan would be depressed and give up on himself because of the loss of his cultivation for a while.
But no.
Meng Nan still practiced hard, and there was a tendency to start all over again.
Life.
Job.
I didn't ignore it.
is even more enthusiastic about her and the three children, as if she has returned to the time when she first got married, and even more attentive than at that time.
"It's good to have amnesia."
Zhao Xiaoshuang sometimes thought to herself.
The big girls and little daughters-in-law in the silver chain village, the aunts and mothers saw her, and none of them were not envious.
From time to time, she could receive a small surprise from Meng Nan for her, and Zhao Xiaoshuang only felt that happiness was about to overflow.
I just hope that such a day can go on forever.
……
Three years.
Four years.
People are happy, and life flies by.
Unconsciously.
Zhao Xiaoshuang and Meng Nan are both thirty-eight years old.
The eldest in the family, Meng Xingzhi, has reached the age of eighteen, and his cultivation qualifications are not high, so far he is still only in the 'Qi Sense Realm', and he will get married in two months, just like Meng Nan did at the beginning, and start a family.
Two months in a flash.
This night, the eve of Meng Xingzhi's marriage.
……
"Time flies."
Zhao Xiaoshuang cleaned up the room and sighed to Meng Nan.
Eight years have passed.
Whether it is her or Meng Nan, her appearance doesn't seem to have changed much. Zhao Xiaoshuang is life is comfortable, Meng Nan is physical fitness is against the reality, eight years have passed, he is only about twenty-six years old, of course, he is young, and it will take at least another seven or eight years to change.
The husband and wife were talking in the house.
It's rare for Meng Nan not to practice and say a couple of sentences from time to time, but there is always a bit of absent-mindedness.
Zhao Xiaoshuang noticed it, turned her head and laughed: "My son is married, why do you seem to have lost your soul?" ”
Zhao Xiaoshuang laughed for a while.
"Time flies!"
Meng Nan shook his head and smiled.
Zhao Xiaoshuang is lamenting the children's fast growth, but Meng Nan is lamenting eight years of emotion.
In the blink of an eye, it's time to come to an end.
During these eight years.
In addition to Meng Nan's practice, he never ignored the family members of Zhao Xiaoshuang, Meng Xingzhi, Meng Jian, and Meng Santan.
He doesn't dwell on the past, present, and future.
Don't bother with the real and the unreal.
Meng Nan has always believed in 'living in the moment' and doing whatever kind of things he does at any time and under any circumstances.
Here, cultivation is urgent, but there is no urgency.
The family is real.
Each one has flesh and blood.
The boss Meng Xing is getting bigger and bigger, and his appearance is becoming more and more similar to him, which is almost carved out of a mold.
The second Meng Jian is more delicate, like his mother, but his personality is more similar to Meng Nan, gentle, meticulous, organized, and calm at a young age.
The third Meng Santan is babbling, clever and lively, and his eyes are very similar to Meng Nan.
Zhao Xiaoshuang also has advantages.
She is optimistic.
Resilient.
I've never seen her anxious.
Sensitive, the emotions of the family can be detected at the first time, or pretend to ignore, or use excuses to comfort, the family is harmonious, and the neighbors of Yinlian Village get along very well.
The more time spent together, the more Zhao Xiaoshuang could be discovered.
Faces grow old eventually.
A person's intrinsic nature and the nature of two people are the most important factors in determining whether they can be together for a lifetime.
Although Meng Nan has just gotten married, he has been with Zhao Xiaoshuang for 20 years.
It's an amazing feeling.
"I don't know what you'll be like at eighteen."
Meng Nan stepped forward and gently hugged Zhao Xiaoshuang from behind.
"What's wrong today?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang stopped moving, touched Meng Nan's hand, and seemed to be still talking. The tone was very gentle, and the voice was very good, but Meng Nan couldn't really hear it.
Gradually.
Including the sound, the touch, all faded.
Like a blister bursting, there was a soft sound, Meng Nan opened his eyes again, and the person in his arms was sleeping soundly, but a few lines on his eyebrows were missing. Look around, big red quilts, big red candles.
It's a new house.
"It's back!"
