Chapter 318 Beads
The white-haired man stood on the cliff and looked down, but he didn't see the figure float up, and his figure flashed, and he came to the waterhole.
He half-crouched on the shore, pulled out a branch from the side, and stirred it in the pool a few times. Soon, there was a big splash in the waterhole, and then a head popped up, gasping for air.
"Not bad." Li Jing'an walked to the shallow water area, looked up at the mountain, and felt a little palpitating, unable to believe that he had really jumped down, and he was not injured much, but there was some pain in his body.
Tearing pain. The left shadow stretched out a branch, Li Jingan grabbed it, and pulled it up,
"Passed the first level, right?" Zuo Ying glanced up and smiled, "Forget it, it's so tall after all." Li Jing'an breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "What is the second level?" Zuo Ying said with a smile: "The second level is much simpler, at least there is no worry about life, it is very simple, it can be done by anyone." Seeing the other party's smile, Li Jingan knew that things must not be so simple.
Sure enough, after Zuo Ying once again exerted his ability to shrink thousands of miles, the two came to a quiet path halfway up the mountain.
Looking up, there are thousands of stone staircases, as if they lead straight to heaven. The stone staircase is flanked by green weeds and lush trees, all of which are not very named.
There is also a basket next to it, which contains a basket of round beads of different colors but about the same size.
Li Jing'an looked around and asked, "Is this...... What to test? Zuo Ying stretched out his hand and pointed to it and said: "This level is very simple, you just need to carry this basket on your back, and pour a lot of beads inside into that ding, even if you pass the level." β
"It's that simple?" Li Jingan was a little surprised, he only needed to carry a little thing up, it was not difficult, it could even be said to be very simple, he was a little skeptical.
"Yes, as I said earlier, it's very simple, and anyone can do it." Zuo Ying smiled and said, "Okay, you can do it quickly, I'm sleepy, I'll go sleep for a while, and I'll come to see you at night." β
"Will this wait until the evening? I'll be able to do it in a moment. Li Jing'an saw that although there were many stone stairs, they were only a few thousand steps, and with his physical strength, he believed that he would be able to climb them soon.
"Uh...... Possibly. But I'm going to go back to sleep first. Oh, by the way, let me remind you, there are a total of 100,000 beads, well~ yes, that's 100,000. Okay, let's go first. The left shadow flashed away, it had been a long time since I had read, and I felt uncomfortable.
"Huh...... It's gone. Li Jing'an wanted to say something, but the left shadow had disappeared, so she had to shut up.
He came to the basket and grabbed a handful of beads with his hand, which, though he didn't know what they were, were round to the touch, and not very heavy.
He looked up again and wondered if it was really that simple. Just carry the basket up the hill?
Li Jingan thinks it's unlikely, this is a test anyway, how can it be so easy for people to pass the test.
Later, it turned out that it was indeed not that simple. He carried the basket on his back, walked up the stone stairs, climbed thousands of steps, and was about to reach the end, when suddenly a bead leaked out of the basket, and then rolled down the thousands of steps, and soon disappeared.
But one thing is for sure, the beads must have fallen down the mountain. Li Jing'an glanced back, immediately put the back basket on the steps, and then ran down quickly.
The requirement for the test was 100,000 beads, one is not less, so he had to chase that one back. He was very fast, galloping all the way, and soon came to the bottom of the mountain.
Fortunately, the bead was red, conspicuous, and out of place with the surrounding things, and he quickly found it.
But as he took the bead and climbed the stone staircase with great difficulty, and was about to reach the basket, a breeze blew.
Yes, it's just a breeze that blows on a person's body, it only makes people feel cool and cheerful, but it doesn't have much strength.
But the back basket, which had been placed smoothly on the stone staircase, was blown down by this gust of wind. So, 100,000 beads, just before Li Jing'an arrived, poured down like a flood.
Li Jing'an was standing in the middle of that torrent, and beads kept rolling at his feet, thunderbolting, bit by bit, eroding his patience.
Soon, the mountain road and the foot of the mountain were full of beads. Li Jing'an understood, and the real test began.
Enduring the fatigue and pain, he stepped forward to check the gap in the basket, patched it up, and then walked to the foot of the mountain with the basket on his back, and began to look for them one by one, and began to count.
One, two, three...... Hundred...... Two hundred...... Thousand...... Five thousand...... 12,000 ...... 33,000...... 41,000 ...... Fifty thousand, the last fifty thousand.
He searched in the jungle, in the mountain streams, in the weeds...... It was already dark, and the stars came out, but the beads were as dull as the stones.
Li Jing'an hid the basket in one place, then ran back to the dormitory, and asked Bolun to borrow a stone lantern - a lantern made of a special stone, the imperial stone, which can be illuminated at night after absorbing sunlight during the day.
And the light is very bright, a small one can illuminate a hall. After Li Jing'an took it, he ran back quickly, and then began to look for it again.
People in the world always think that the drastic changes in life and death are the most humane, but in fact, they are not. It's the little things that are!
The more boring, simple, and boring the little things, the more you can see a person's heart. It is not difficult to jump off the cliff, as long as you muster up enough courage and have a hot mind, you can complete it.
It's like those miserable and beautiful loves, who died for whom, with a swipe of the knife, clicking, resolute and magnificent, and deeply moving.
But this is actually not too difficult, the real difficulty is often the trivial things in daily life.
Day after day, after all the freshness and all the love has faded, it is true greatness to be able to remain as religious and patient as ever.
Under the moonlight, accompanied by the stars, and with the help of the light of the imperial stone, after a night of searching, the next morning, Li Jingan lay down on the ground, looking at the beads on his back, showing a bitter smile.
But even after all this time, he didn't rest for a moment, and there were still many beads that he hadn't found. Now there are more than 99,800 of them, and more than 200 are missing.
This is a mountain road, and there are piles of weeds nearby, and there are dead branches and leaves, and ravines are criss-crossed...... After some beads rolled down, they could not be found at all.
Li Jing'an lay on the ground, a little desperate. But fortunately, he quickly strengthened his heart, and when he thought of the scene when he was powerless in the face of Chang, he once again burst out with amazing perseverance.
As long as the beads roll down, then they must be in this mountain. It's not under the leaves, it's in those little holes, and it doesn't disappear for no reason.
Picking up confidence, Li Jingan found it again. Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after a morning of struggle, and an afternoon.
Li Jing'an finally found all the beads, one hundred thousand, one is not less. He carefully put the last bead into the basket, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then he took a heavy breath of relief, and after a brief rest, he carried the basket on his back and walked carefully up the mountain.
Although the process is a bit tedious and boring, it is fortunate to be able to complete it. This test can be regarded as passing.
Li Jing'an thought a little excitedly, and was in a much happier mood. However, just as he stepped on the last few steps, he had already seen the tripod placed on the top, and suddenly the bottom of the back basket cracked.
Then Huo opened a huge hole, and all the beads leaked out of that hole like flowing water.
100,000 pieces, as long as it is gone in an instant. Li Jing'an opened her mouth, almost collapsing in place.
"Why? Why? Why ......" He couldn't believe his eyes, and even thought that the left shadow was playing tricks on himself.
At first, what kind of waterfall jumping was so high, ordinary people couldn't finish it at all, and even if it was done, it would be either death or injury.
Whoever would be stupid enough to jump off a cliff, he just said this test to scare people away. But he miraculously completed it, so he proposed a second test.
This seems simple, but in fact it is the most difficult. The sudden wind will inexplicably break the back basket...... All this, I'm afraid he is playing ghosts, in order not to accept himself as an apprentice.
Seeing that it is about to succeed, there is such a ...... Since you don't want to, just say it, what are you doing with so many moths?
Li Jing'an stood on the stone stairs, looked down the mountain, and shouted loudly.
"Ah, why?! Why! His voice echoed through the mountains, but there was no answer. Looking at the beads that were far away, Li Jing'an sat on the stone stairs, put her hands on her cheeks, and fell into deep thought.
I don't know how long later, when the moonlight fell again, a person suddenly came up from the bottom of the mountain. The girl is slim and elegant, wearing a white long skirt, like a beautiful and noble snow lotus, fresh and refined, elegant and chic.
Li Jing'an thinks back to this life, as well as the previous life, as if she has never seen such a refreshing girl.
Truly innocent and lovely, pitiful. The girl was carrying a food box in her hand, and along the way, she also picked up the beads she encountered on the road, and in the end she probably couldn't take it, and it was not good to lift her skirt to hold it, so she had to give up some.
After seeing Li Jing'an, the girl raised her head, and immediately lowered it habitually, and then said in a very timid voice: "That...... Yu Chang was worried about you, afraid that you would be hungry, so I asked me to help bring you something to eat. With that, she handed over the food box.
Li Jing'an hurriedly caught it,
"Thank you." Yun Qingxue snorted, then held the beads in the palm of her hand and said, "What I saw when I came up, I don't know if it's yours, it's just that I didn't bring anything to pack, so I can only help you pick up so much." β
"Oh, thank you." Li Jing'an thanked her again, took the beads from the girl's hand, and then placed them on the stone stairs beside her.
Yun Qingxue saw Li Jing'an take it, and said, "There are so many on the ground, I'll help you pick it up." β
"No, no, no......" Li Jingan hurriedly said: "I'll pick it up myself for a while." β
"But so many, you can pick it up all by yourself?" Yun Qingxue said worriedly, she saw it on the way up the mountain, all the way.
"It's just a matter of time." Li Jing'an smiled,
"I'll pick it up when I'm done eating." Yun Qingxue glanced down and said softly again: "I'm fine, you helped me last time, and it's time to pay you back this time." Li Jingan smiled: "I really don't need to, I'll just come by myself." As for last time, it's really hard to say who helped whom, so don't care. Li Jingan looked at it and said: "It's not early, I'm afraid that the road will be difficult to go back after a while, so you better go back early." Yun Qingxue said: "My eyes can see clearly at night. As if thinking of something, he said, "But you, if it gets dark for a while, how will you pick up these beads?" Let me stay and help you. β
"Not really." Li Jingan refused again, not wanting to trouble others,
"I have a stone lantern, and I can see it at night." With that, he held up the stone lantern, but suddenly found that the lantern was not lit.
Only then did I remember that after I used it up last night, I put it in the shade of a tree, and there was no sunlight to shine, and it couldn't absorb sunlight, so there was no light at all.
Now that's the waste one.
"This ......" Li Jingan scratched her head a little embarrassed, Yun Qingxue lowered her head, and whispered: "You eat first, I'll go down to help you pick it up first." β
"This ......" Li Jing'an wanted to refuse, but Yun Qingxue had already walked down and began to pick it up. Li Jing'an was a little reluctant to go, and she didn't know what to say to refuse, so she could only go in the end.
He opened the food box, and the food inside was fragrant, obviously all of them were big dishes in the meat area, and he was usually willing to eat them.
Knowing that it was given to him by the girl, he immediately picked up the food box and ate it in a big gulp. Originally, according to his character, when he encountered these delicious things, he must taste them slowly before he was willing to swallow them.
But when he saw the girl bending over and humming to help him, he couldn't chew slowly. After eating, Li Jing'an was about to go down with the back basket, but as soon as he saw the hole at the bottom of the back basket, Li Jing'an's face sank.
He threw the basket on the ground, and then stepped on it, and the basket split apart in an instant. Without the back basket, Li Jingan lifted the food box down.
"I'll do it myself." Li Jingan said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to trouble you." Yun Qingxue handed over a large handful of beads in her hand, and Li Jingan hurriedly caught it with a food box.
Yun Qingxue lowered her head and said, "I'm fine, pick it up quickly, otherwise I won't be able to finish it." Seeing that the girl was a little persistent, Li Jingan didn't say anything more, bent down the old waist, and began to pick it up like a chicken pecking rice.
The moonlight is like water, and the stars are shining. Two figures, a mountain road. The breeze is blowing, and the years are without a trace.
"Hey, Yun Qingxue, do you know the left shadow? How strong is he? Li Jing'an casually found something to talk about, after all, on this quiet mountain road, the two of them were so close to each other, if they didn't speak, the atmosphere would be very weird.
"Well, I don't know, but I've heard it's amazing." Yun Qingxue lowered her head, and her voice was very soft, like the sound of mosquitoes.
"You don't know, I thought you did."
"I'm sorry, I didn't ask."
"You...... Haha, you're such a strange person, I asked you, even if I begged you for help, why did you apologize to me. Li Jing'an smiled and said, "By the way, who is that old man in the back mountain?" How strong is he? β
"This ...... I don't know very well, but I know that he used to be a master of the Xuan Dao. Yun Qingxue lowered her head and said.
Li Jing'an saw her like that, stood up straight and said, "Yun Qingxue, why do you always like to talk with your head down?" And the sound is so small, like a mosquito. β
"I ......" Yun Qingxue's voice was still very soft,
"I'm sorry, I ......"
"Don't always be sorry, you didn't do anything wrong, I just said it casually, curious, well, just curious."
"I ......"
"Well, you can actually speak boldly, what are you afraid of? And no one blames you. Look at that sister of yours, she speaks like a ...... Well, it's like a big sister, and her voice is louder than that of men. You have to be like her, be lively, don't keep your head down all day, as if you have destroyed the whole world. β
"Hmm."
"You really understand? Then you say something out loud to listen? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Hahaha, it seems that it is really difficult for you, but you do need to change it, otherwise every time you speak, I will have to prick up my ears to listen. That's a bit of that...... What does it mean? Alas, almost. It's actually quite uncomfortable. β
"I'm sorry."
"Why are you sorry again?"
"I'm sorry, I ......"
"Hahaha, forget it. You can't change it for a while, so take your time. β
"Hmm."
"By the way, I'll tell you some stories while you're bored."
"Hmm."
"This story is called ghost blowing the lamp, and it is said that once upon a time, it was ......" Under the moon, two figures bent down like chickens pecking rice to pick up those beads, and sat side by side to talk and tell stories.
Although Li Jing'an was talking most of the time, and Yun Qingxue was just listening, the relationship between the two was a lot closer.
Yun Qingxue already has a sense of closeness to Li Jing'an, which is derived from her own heart
Although today's Li Jingan is not the same person as before, his personality, temperament, and behavior are very different, but some feelings are preconceived and difficult to change.
And after Li Jing'an came here, the first person to have a good impression must be Yu Chang, who is also the first friend he thinks.
As for the number of Bolun and the like, they can only be said to be acquaintances. It just so happens that others don't want to have a deep friendship with him, although everyone usually plays around, but if there is really something, they will only say one sentence,
"I only know him, not very well." Li Jingan never minded this, and felt that it was very good.
It is impossible for two people to know each other, so they must be friends, otherwise they will be enemies. In fact, most of the so-called acquaintances in this world are only in the stage of understanding, and understanding is a long process, and it takes a long time to go further and take a step back.
Li Jing'an has no feeling for the likes of Shu Bolun, and is close to Chang because in that long process, he has already known Yu Chang and affirmed it, while others need to be observed.
So making friends, in fact, is very difficult. And Yun Qingxue, he didn't know why, as if he was seeing each other for the first time
"Knowing", the other party's temperament and temperament, he seems to be able to understand at a glance, and feels good.
Therefore, after meeting the other party, Li Jingan was willing to treat the other party as half a friend and took the initiative to approach.
Last time on the mountain road, according to Li Jing'an's previous temper, seeing Yun Qingyu's domineering appearance and condescending charity, he must be angry, and he had to ridicule the other party a few words.
But because Yun Qingxue was there, and Yun Qingyu was her beloved sister, because of this relationship, Li Jingan had to endure it at that time.
Therefore, she accepted Yun Qingyu's alms, so that she could be more proud of her good deeds from her heart, so as to obtain great psychological satisfaction.
In fact, Yun Qingyu didn't know that the large sum of money she gave was never used by Li Jing'an, but stored it.
So in the past two days, Yun Qingyu was curious and angry when she saw that Li Jing'an was still wearing shabby clothes covered with patches and tattered shoes.
I came to ask Li Jing'an why she didn't spend money to change her clothes and shoes, why she didn't improve herself, thanks to Yun Qingxue holding her back, otherwise she might say some mean words again.
The two of them sat side by side on the mountainside, looking down, it was a thousand-step stone staircase, and looking up, it was also a thousand-step stone staircase. The two are in the middle, as if to cut them off.
The mountain wind blows, and the early spring night is a little cold, and you can occasionally hear the wind roaring. In addition, Li Jing'an has been telling the story of ghosts blowing out the lamp, and even deliberately lowered his voice in order to demand a certain sense of stimulation, forcibly creating a terrifying atmosphere.
It's just that to Li Jing'an's surprise, Yun Qingxue looks soft and weak, I thought that a girl like her would be shy and scared when talking to others, and when she heard these stories, she would definitely scream in fright, at least her body would tremble, plug her ears, and dare not listen to it anymore.
However, Yun Qingxue had a look of hope, as if she was still unsatisfied after listening to it, her face was full of expectation, and she didn't see fear at all, and asked what then.
And then it's gone. Li Jing'an opened her mouth to look at this weak little girl,
"You're not scared at all?" Yun Qingxue shook her head, probably because she had been indulging in ghost stories before, and she didn't notice that she had actually been raising her head and looking at each other's eyes, but she suddenly noticed it, and immediately lowered her head in shame.
"You ......" Li Jingan really didn't know what to say, and shook her head with a wry smile,
"You're the first girl I've ever seen so daring." In addition to the ghost blowing the lantern, there are also many ghost stories that are circulated among the people, such as the yellow skin going to the grave, the water monkey, and the girl in the wedding dress in the well...... He told people these more than once, and all the girls who heard those stories were all frightened and screamed.
But...... This is the first time he has encountered a situation like Yun Qingxue, and he was a little caught off guard for a while.
Yun Qingxue heard Li Jing'an say that she was bold, and smiled slightly, this was probably the first time she had heard it in her life.
Li Jing'an looked at the sky and found that the first sun in the east was about to rise, so he quickly stood up and said, "It's almost dawn, I'm going, I'm sorry to delay you for so long." Go back quickly, go back and rest early. Yun Qingxue looked left and right, and there were still a lot of beads that she hadn't picked up.
Li Jingan smiled: "It's okay, there isn't much left, I'll be able to pick it up soon, you go back quickly, otherwise your sister should be in a hurry." Yun Qingxue thought to herself that her sister must have been in a hurry, maybe she was looking for herself everywhere.
She looked at Li Jing'an, thought about it again, and decided to go back and have a look first, so she said, "That'...... I'll go first. β
"Hmm." Li Jing'an nodded, looked at the departing back, and when he was at the foot of the mountain, he suddenly shouted: "Yun Qingxue." The girl turned around slowly, and Li Jingan smiled: "Thank you." The girl smiled slightly, like an epiphany in bloom.
Li Jing'an exhaled, and did not begin to move again until the girl had been gone for a long time. Eighty thousand beads have been picked up and twenty thousand remaining.
He rubbed his old waist, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and sang the familiar ballad again in the early morning, when the mountain road was silent.
"You are my eyes, take me to appreciate the changes of the four seasons, you are my eyes, take me through the crowds......" When the sun rose and the time came to about eleven o'clock, Li Jing'an finally picked up all the remaining beads.
100,000, finally 100,000. Li Jing'an carried these beads and walked cautiously towards the mountain.
It didn't take long for him to see the bell again. Victory beckoned to him again, and this boring game was finally coming to an end.
But just as he stepped on the last stone staircase, the handle of the food box suddenly broke, and then the familiar scene resurfaced in front of him.
Countless beads rolled down like a tide again. 100,000 ...... Li Jing'an sighed, threw the food box aside, then sat on the ground, and lay back again, posing a big character on the mountain road.
Looking at the white clouds, he sighed heavily.
"You're trying to kill me." β¦β¦ At noon, Li Jing'an returned to the dormitory to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, and went to the canteen to eat.
Looking at the beads, the boy sighed, and then began to pick them up again. When you are tired, you sit for a while to rest, and when you are thirsty, you go to a nearby mountain stream to drink two sips of water.
After another night, Li Jing'an finally picked up all the beads. This time he was very careful when he went up, for fear that the back basket would inexplicably break a hole, so he simply carried the back basket in front of him and checked the situation at any time.
It's just that as before, as soon as he takes the last step on the stone staircase, there will be an accident. This time, the basket was fine, but he accidentally stepped on a pine cone, and then he fell down with the basket.
He doesn't know how many times he has swept this mountain road, how can pine cones appear for no reason. Li Jingan was indignant, but she didn't want to give up yet.
The more you want me to give up, the more I won't give up. Wait and see. So the emaciated boy was busy again on the mountain road.
The beast that slipped and inexplicably bumped into it, but the weather of the sun hailed, and finally there was an earthquake, only the mountain road collapsed in the earthquake and was disconnected...... More and more absurd accidents make Li Jingan fall short every time she comes to a juncture.
Isn't this a trick? However, when he thought about that experience, and that powerless situation resurfaced in front of him, Li Jingan told himself that it must not be like this again.
He got up again, and walked towards the beads again, from the beginning, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand...... More and more, and finally a hundred thousand.
When he stepped up the last stone staircase again, the beads had fallen as before. He was ready for this, so he immediately walked down the hill and prepared to do it again.
Only this time, when he picked up the first bead, all the beads on the mountain path disappeared. The mountain trails, which were damaged by various accidents, have also been restored to their original appearance.
At the end of the stone staircase, a white-haired man sat on it, raised his hand, and greeted him with a smile.
"Yo!" On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head. Light rain. The boy looked down at the bead in his hand, and then at the white-haired man who was sitting on it and greeted him.
After being silent for a long time, he scolded loudly: "Your uncle's! The white-haired man was not angry, but still smiling,
"Good morning."
"Okay, uncle, it's fun, isn't it?"
"Hahaha......" The white-haired man stood up and smiled, and said, "Come up first, show you something good." Li Jing was still angry, he was played around for several days, even if he had a good temper, he couldn't help but want to scold at this moment.
But when the words came to his lips, he endured it again, obediently followed the left shadow, and went to the top. After walking thousands of steps of stone stairs, there is a platform above, and the three-legged giant tripod is placed in the middle.
There are also many rune seals engraved on the giant ding, which looks twisted and twisted, like some earthworms. Zuo Ying pointed at Juding and said, "Throw that bead in, you've passed it." Li Jing'an looked at the beads in his hand, then at Juding, thought for a while, and said, "Don't you want 100,000?" This is only one. Zuo Ying smiled: "You hold it up and take a good look." Li Jing'an didn't know what to do, so he took the beads to his eyes to check them, and suddenly found that the beads that were as red as blood had become crystal clear, and inside the beads, large and small, and I didn't know how many small beads appeared.
"This ......"
"There are 99,999 of them, plus the big one in your hand, it's just 100,000." Zuo Ying smiled: "This thing is called a soul quenching bead, which has the effect of calming the mind and calming the soul. Haven't you always wondered why you haven't been able to manifest yourself until now? Actually, it's because your soul is uncertain. β
"Unsettled?" Li Jing'an asked, "What do you mean?" β
"Simply put, it's a mismatch between your soul and your body, your body." Zuo Ying thought for a moment and said.
Hearing this, Li Jing'an suddenly tensed her mind, could she be seen? Zuo Ying continued: "There are many reasons for this, it may be that the yin qi has entered the body, the evil is strange, and the bewitching mind is confused...... Or ......" Zuo Ying thought for a while, didn't continue, just changed his mouth and said: "That's probably it, anyway, in the end, it will make you unsettled." You should know that the mobilization of Qi's power is inseparable from the divine soul, and it is also inseparable from the meridians of the acupoints around the body. Your soul is uncertain, and it is naturally difficult for Qi to manifest, and no matter how hard you practice, it will not help. β
"I see." Li Jing'an finally understood the reason why he had been wasted, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but asked curiously: "How do you know that I can't let Qi manifest?" And how do you know that I am cultivating diligently? Could it be ......" The corners of Li Jing'an's mouth showed a touch of pride,
"You've been following me and you've noticed that I'm different, talented, and a rare talent. Haha, I knew that you really fell in love with me, but I was afraid that you would have made up your mind to take me as an apprentice early in the morning. It's just that you didn't take the initiative because of your own face. So I got my idea, and I wanted to take the initiative to speak, and then you agreed, didn't you? Hmph, I've seen it all this for a long time, and your tricks are too naΓ―ve. Left Shadow was dumbfounded.
Li Jing'an said proudly: "I said it, you are really, we are all adults, to put it bluntly, why are you doing so many bells and whistles." Bored. Zuo Ying took a deep breath, and then patted Li Jing'an on the shoulder,
"You have such a big imagination, I didn't even know I thought that way." Li Jingan snorted lightly and put on a hanging look that you don't want to quibble.
Zuo Ying sighed, and then said, "Okay, let's not talk to you, let's get down to business." "The left shadow walked to the giant ding,
"You throw the Soul Quenching Orb into it, then take off your shirt and sit down in it, and let the Quenching Soul Orb help you calm your soul. After your soul is settled, I will teach you the exercises. Li Jing'an was stunned,
"Teach me the exercises? You promised to take me as an apprentice? Zuo Ying smiled: "I said, as long as you can pass the test, I will naturally accept you as an apprentice." Li Jingan said unexpectedly: "Aren't there three tests?" There are only two of them, and what about the other one? β
"You're already there."
"Huh? When? Li Jing'an wiped his face, and the light rain wet his clothes. Left Shadow smiled but said nothing.
Li Jing'an couldn't figure it out, but he knew that he had passed. He timidly asked again, "Then how did the apprenticeship ceremony come about?" Zuo Ying flicked his fingers, and the rain spread out a foot away from him, and said with a smile: "Forget those false courtesies, anyway, you are not a person who respects teachers, there is no need to engage in those." β
"I ...... what I said" Li Jingan laughed herself,
"It seems to be."
"Alright, let's throw things in." Left Shadow reminded. Li Jing'an snorted, and immediately threw the soul quenching bead into the giant ding, and when he heard a dingdong, he knew that there was still water in it.
"Take off your shirt and jump in." Li Jingan hummed again, and quickly took off her shirt, revealing her skinny body.
This kid looks like a poor family, otherwise there wouldn't be half a tael of meat all over his body, it was all ribs, and the whole row of bones was fine, and it was a shame that he could grow until now.
But speaking of which, the boy is actually a little short among his peers, that is, Yun Qingxue, a female doll a few months younger than him, is also a little taller than him.
Of course, in general, girls have always developed early and grow up fast, but after the age of thirteen, the boy's strength period comes.
One by one, like mushrooms after a rain, they are rushing up. Among the peers, many teenagers have begun to emerge, like the Daoyang last time, and the cold building, these people are much taller than Li Jing'an.
I'm afraid that only Yu Chang is willing to wait for him and grow up with him. Two poor babies, a spot in height.
After the Quenching Soul Bead entered the water, it began to emit a faint red light, like a little spark, and instantly stained all the water in the giant dome.
Zuo Ying didn't bother to watch Li Jing'an grind, and threw him into the water. The poor boy, like a drowning duck, fluttered in the water, and at last, relying on instinct, turned over and sat in it.
Ignoring the young man's glare, Zuo Ying placed his left hand under the giant ding, and soon, the inside of the giant ding warmed up and began to bubble.
Li Jing'an asked timidly, "Master, will you cook me?" How do I feel so hot? β
"Cooking Ding requiem, how can you be safe if you don't cook?" Zuo Ying said: "Forbearance is over, and the process will not be too difficult." β
"Really?" Li Jingan was a little unconvinced, after all, he was very uncomfortable now. The red light entered his body through the holes on the surface of his skin, and traveled among his limbs, forming a huge rushing momentum, rampage, which made him very uncomfortable.
"At this time, I will tell you about the cultivation of the cultivation, and it will also give you a bottom in your heart." Zuo Ying pressed his left hand on the wall, and his right hand took out the erotic book, and said with three purposes: "I guess you already know your talent, and you know that you are a mediocre talent......
"Master, that ...... In fact...... Well, you can say that I'm average, not a stunning genius, but don't be so blunt about saying I'm mediocre, it's hurtful. Li Jing'an interrupted.
Although I know that my talent is not good, I still can't accept being called mediocre in person.
Zuo Ying ignored his glass heart, and continued: "Whether it's a mediocre talent or a genius, in fact...... None of the problems are very big. You see, you are now in the midst of an unparalleled time. Now you, although you walk later and slower than others, you have hope to reach the top. You should be thankful for that. Li Jing'an was puzzled and asked: "Why do you say that now is an unparalleled era?" Zuo Ying looked at the book with his eyes and said lightly, "Have you heard of the realm?" β
"Well, I've heard a few, but ...... It seems that we don't talk about the realm, right? Li Jing'an said carefully. Zuo Ying didn't answer directly, but said: "Actually, there used to be realms, and there were a total of fifteen realms, one realm and one floor. β
"That'...... Why not now? "More than a hundred years ago, the Great War of the Hundred Clans, countless geniuses fell.
The world ushered in the first great trough, but after that, I don't know whether it was the law of heaven that bottomed out, or the impermanence of the harmony of yin and yang.
A few bright stars appeared in the world, rising and shining in the night sky. Not too many teenagers, not only ended the war of the hundred tribes, but also ushered in a new era.
Zuo Ying's thoughts fluttered, and he said after a long time: "At that time, there was a Tianjiao character in the world, a real Tianjiao character, he took the soul as the front, the flesh and blood as the backbone, the five elements, the yin and yang, the sun and the moon, and the broad way, unswerving, and no regrets. In the end, with the power of a sword, he broke the realm cage, so that everyone in the world could open the pulse and climb the mountain and seek the way. Zuo Ying put down the book and turned his head to look at Li Jing'an,
"For a person with mediocre qualifications like you, he should be most thanked. Otherwise, it will be impossible for you to embark on the path of cultivation, and even if you do, you will not achieve much. Li Jing'an was a little unconvinced,
"Really?" Zuo Ying laughed and said, "Let's give you a simple analogy." In the past, the path to the top of the mountain was one step at a time, and each time you stepped on the steps, you were one point closer to the top. But...... You have to know that everyone's qualifications are different, and the speed of climbing the steps will be different. To put it simply, those of you with poor qualifications are like turtles, with short hands and short feet, and every step is very hard to reach the steps, and even some of the steps are too high, and you are congenitally deficient and cannot climb up at all, which is also the so-called hopelessness of cultivation. And those geniuses, they are different, they climb the mountain like rabbits and tigers, there are no steps that they can't pass, and every step can be walked easily, if they meet a few good masters behind to drive the guard, they will reach the top faster. Therefore, in the past, on the path of cultivation, almost all of them were geniuses, and even if they were not geniuses, their cultivation qualifications would not be too bad, and they could at least see the hope of reaching the top, even if the avenue was slim. Li Jing'an asked weakly, "What about now?" β
