Chapter 2 Immortals in the World

Early in the morning, the weather is not bright today.

Li Yi's ward ushered in a new guest, a man, with handsome facial features, and gold-rimmed glasses on his face, the whole person has the temperament of an urban elite.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Si saw Li Yi sitting on the bed, exactly the same as the meditation and cultivation in the TV series.

Hearing the movement, Li Yi slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Zhao Si, and asked, "Are you?" ”

Zhao Si looked at the familiar and unfamiliar brother in front of him, his mood was mixed, and he was more happy and excited.

"Brother Yi is me, Zhao Si."

Zhao ...... Four? Li Yi first showed doubts, and then his mind turned over the river and the sea, and the long-term memories kept emerging, and the picture had long been blurred, but he could never forget it.

"Are you Zhao Si?"

The man in front of him in a suit and leather shoes is difficult to associate with the glasses on the head of the pot back then. can look at it carefully for a while, and the eyebrows can reflect Zhao Si back then.

"Zhao Si! Good boys, they have all become rich and handsome! Tsk tsk, tall and handsome in a suit and leather shoes, completely counterattacked, what are you doing now? ”

"I studied psychology in college, and now I'm a psychologist." Zhao Si pulled a stool and sat next to him, and the two talked very naturally, as if they were 10 years ago.

"I graduated just in time for the hospital reform, and the public hospitals were in a big decline, while the private hospitals were not up to the mark. I didn't go to the hospital at all, and I opened my own clinic. On weekdays, he mainly gives psychological counseling to people, and most of the patients are some children, rich landlords, and even some entertainers. It's the same as you said back then......"

Li Yi immediately picked up: "Most of the people who see a private psychiatrist seek peace of mind, just like asking for Buddha in a temple." ”

"Hahaha, yes, if you really have mental illness, you should go to a regular hospital, and many medical devices in private clinics like mine are not available except for secrecy. However, with the current social environment, there are more and more people who need psychological counseling, and I can be regarded as catching up with the times. ”

Li Yi asked curiously, "Why?" ”

"My old Qin people are bitter." Zhao Si beat his chest, although he was not an old Qin person, Li Yi could probably understand what the other party meant.

"If I have the opportunity, I must go to Qi and enjoy the joy of Qi people. It's a pity that the nationality of Qi is difficult to enter, and my parents are reluctant to leave, so I can only continue to stay in Zhou. ”

"What happened to Qi Guo?"

"Qi has caught the express train of the Internet, and its economy has taken off, with the momentum of the economic leaders of the six countries of China. There are many opportunities to develop there, but there is basically no possibility of Zhou Guo coming back when he goes out. ”

"I remember when I didn't say that I was going to return to the Zhou Dynasty? As long as they are the nationalities of the six countries, they can freely enter and leave their respective territories. ”

For 70 years, the situation has been going on endlessly, and even he, a high school student, can feel the tension of the situation. Countries are forming factions, and every day on the news is which country forms an alliance and which one breaks diplomatic relations. It's like a kindergarten child quarrelling, pulling one person to isolate the other, and forming an alliance in order not to be isolated.

Children's isolation may be just a sentence of "I won't play with you anymore", and the isolation of the country is a knife hanging around the neck.

"You collapsed within a few months of being in a coma, Qin Wude was the most abundant, and he fought all the way to the Mediterranean, and that year was also the first shot they fired, I thought it was a vicious battle." Zhao Si pushed forward with both hands and chuckled.

"In one year, the Turks were exterminated and the north went to the polar regions. Two years, three crosses the Caspian Sea. During this period, there was a very good female general, known as the wolf of Siberia, an invincible martial god, who almost planted the old Qin Xuanqi on the ground of other people's Rome. Just like the Eastern Expedition of the Qi State back then, the Xiongnu were attacked, and the Heavenly Poison, Ryukyu, and the Shogunate were destroyed. It's all come to this point, and the old Qin people of the Zhou Dynasty who reorganized in front of them are of course unwilling. ”

"You have been in a coma for all these years, and the "fierce men from the sky" in the six countries of my Shenzhou have blowout, as if you have returned to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. ”

"Speaking of which, do you remember when we were in junior high school, our school also accepted dozens of war orphans caused by the Eastern Crusade of the Qi Kingdom. The class next door to us is the naturalization class, and the class leader of the naturalization class is called Shiraishi Yukimi, and a girl is very strong and often fights with us. Zhao Sixuan talked about things when he was a child, hoping to know what Li Yi could recall.

"When I was a child, girls were more precocious, and we were all pressed and beaten by her, and you were often beaten and cried by her at that time."

。

。

。

In the past 60 years, when science and technology were booming, mobile phones and computers had just begun to become popular, and at that time, the Internet had to be dialed up, and 1M traffic seemed to cost a dollar.

Yucheng Chengbei Street Primary School is located between two villages, and it is said that the streets are surrounded by farmland, and there are no buses or private buses. One of the school's six-story buildings is the most beautiful building within a 10-mile radius, and most of the people who go to school here are rural children.

Li Yi was not gregarious at that time, because his relatives were directors, and he became a librarian at a young age (the school was understaffed). Whenever he had time, he went into the library to read the Taoist scriptures given by the Taoist temple, and his father's worries about his ordination began here. In fact, Li Yi didn't read the Taoist scriptures at first, and at the beginning he preferred story meetings, but the children's publications were the same, which was not as good as the strange stories recorded in Taoist miscellaneous stories.

Adults seem to be working as coolies, but in the eyes of elementary school students, they are great officials, so Li Yi did not take less sugar and spicy strips in the class, just to pre-order the extremely rare comic books in the library every week. At that time, comic books were all donated from the recycling bin, but that didn't stop the children from enjoying them.

The most of them are island comics, which were annexed by the Qi Kingdom, and a large number of cultural works from the Heavenly Poison Peninsula, Ryukyu, and Fuso poured into China, which had a great impact on the people who received the ritual music education of Shenzhou at that time.

Li Yi, who is keen on reading Taoist classics, has to admit that these works are really interesting.

Later, when the indoctrination class found out, they had a conflict.

"Li Yi!"

A pair of white and tender little hands slapped on Li Yi's desk, making him tremble in fright.

When I looked up, I saw a rather cute facial feature, with fair skin, a long ponytail, and a very fluent Shenzhou language. Later, Li Yi realized that the naturalization faction had a high probability of knowing Shenzhou since childhood, and it was a sign of nobility that the naturalization faction knew Shenzhou since childhood, and that they could speak Shenzhou fluently in the four directions of Shenzhou.

Her name is Shiraishi Xuejian, the class leader of the naturalization class, the female development is earlier than the male, her height is a head taller than Li Yi, and the female characteristics also begin to develop, at that time Li Yi thought it was a chest muscle, so he was very jealous.

"Dry... What are you doing...."Li Yi bluffed out his chest.

Shiraishi Yukimi said sternly: "Are you relying on your identity as a librarian to keep occupying comic books?" ”

"How can you tarnish people's innocence out of thin air?!"

Li Yi was suddenly annoyed and angry, slapped the table and got up, and soon the two scuffled together, and after a few seconds he was pushed to the ground, and Bai Shixue couldn't get up when he saw that he was sitting on him.

"Get out of the way!"

"Haven't you been dominating comic books!"

"You get up, woo woo woo!"

Li Yi's cry soon attracted the teacher, who took the two of them to the office and scolded them.

After scolding for a few minutes, the teacher looked at Shiraishi Yukimi and said:

"Xue Jian, I always thought you were a student with good character, why did you beat Li Yi? I also ran to someone's class to fight! Call your parents tomorrow! ”

When Bai Shixue heard the call for parents, she immediately panicked, and tears rolled in her eyes.

"Teacher!" Li Yi raised his hand, "One person does things and one person is responsible, I am the first to move!" ”

The teacher was obviously stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "You are still very proud!" Call your parents tomorrow. Since it's Li Yi's fault, Xue sees that you can leave first, it's none of your business here. ”

Next, after the teacher's investigation and Li Yi's surrender, in order to realize the decentralization of power, there was one more librarian Shiraishi Xuejian. At that time, Li Yi felt that his territory had been violated, and he had always had a great prejudice against Shiraishi Xuejian.

As if he didn't notice it, Bai Shi Xuejian kept pestering Li Yi to let him read the history book "Overseas Countries" in the library.

"If you don't take these things in the exam, what are you learning to do?" Li Yi casually flipped through the thick books, which were mostly written in classical Chinese, and he was probably the only one in the entire elementary school who could understand them, except for the teachers.

"These countries are gone, but my Shenzhou derivative civilization, you can read the language better than this. The six kingdoms of Shenzhou are enough for you to carry, Chu is in the south, Zhao is in the north, Yan is in the northeast, Qi is in the east, Qin is in the west, and Han and Wei are in the middle. After modern times, it has become Xia Zaizhong, so why Xia Zaizhong? Who is missing from the Six Nations? ”

"Hmm....." Shiraishi Xue couldn't think of scratching her hair, and asked rhetorically, "Why?" ”

"Stupid, because we have occupied all the surrounding land, and the territory of the original Zhou Kingdom belongs to the Seven Kingdoms. From the North Pole in the north, to the Luzon Islands in the south, to the Bering Strait in the east, and to the Caspian Sea in the west, we are the land of China, and we are the east of the world. Li Yi stretched out his arms, as if to describe the greatness of Shenzhou.

"There are still six countries missing South Korea, to put it simply, ask which country was the first to go to Fuso?"

"Qin State! Jimmu Emperor Xu Fu! When Shiraishi finally encountered a question she understood, she immediately raised her hand to answer it.

"Wrong! is a native of Langya, Qidi, and Xu Fu is a native of Qi. You're so stupid, you don't understand this and you still want to learn extracurricular knowledge. ”

"I ....." Bai Shixue hesitated for a long time, and then the little face returned to its usual serious expression, and it was a little adult, "The people in the other classes don't play with our naturalization class, and many people scold us for being islanders, I want to know why." Today, the Chinese teacher teaches the fallen leaves to return to the roots, I want to know where my roots are, if I know, can I play with you? ”

"What is the root of fallen leaves?" Li Yi asked curiously.

"Want to know?" Bai Shixue raised her head slightly, "Then you have to help me read this book first." ”

"Forget it, I'll look it up in the dictionary. Fallen dead leaves, falling at the roots of trees. Figuratively things have a certain destination. Mostly refers to those who live in a foreign land, and they will eventually ....."

"You're a fool! Don't check! ”

Only in the language and history that the other party is not good at, Li Yi dares to be arrogant, and at the same time gives a little guidance at the request of the other party. In the middle, they fought a few more times, and they didn't let the teacher know under the three chapters of the covenant, but Li Yi never won.

For this reason, Li Yi rummaged through the secret books of divine skills in many Taoist scriptures, and finally found a book of five poultry operas, and after his divine skills finally took effect (the body began to develop), they graduated from primary school.

Shiraishi Xuejian left Yucheng because of the transfer of his parents.

。

。

。

"You were so bold at that time, you dared to contradict the exterminator, and I would definitely throw the pot on the white stone." Zhao Si paid attention to Li Yi's expression as he spoke, and he didn't see a trace of doubt and incomprehension from beginning to end, but was full of remembrance.

Obviously, there is no problem with Li Yi's memory.

"Brother Yi, when I graduated, I remember that Xue Jian asked you to go out alone, what did she tell you?"

Li Yi recalled slightly, but he only remembered that Bai Shixue was crying when he hugged him, but he didn't remember the specifics.

"I remember her wiping snot and tears on me, and I couldn't speak."

"At that time, I peeked in the corner, we didn't understand before, but now I understand that she likes you, and Shiraishi said that she likes Brother Yi." Zhao Si said suddenly, and suddenly turned the topic to this, which caught Li Yi off guard, and he was directly choked by his own saliva without taking a breath.

"Ahem, cough, whatever, you were obviously following me at that time, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to beat the muscle stone, so I asked you to come along."

He remembered that that day, Bai Shixue only said that he was leaving Yucheng, and then he kept crying and crying, and finally the teacher took her away.

"Hahaha, Brother Yi still has a good memory." Zhao Si quietly glanced at the medical record in his hand, Brother Yi's logic and memory are fine, why do you say that there is serious paranoia?

So far, Li Yidu has behaved like a normal person, without any out-of-the-ordinary behavior. But there are many "normal" mentally ill people, and they tend to be very abnormal in some ways.

"Brother Yi, what were you doing when I came in and saw you sitting cross-legged on the bed?"

"Meditate, comprehend heaven and earth." Li Yi replied without thinking.

Here it comes.

Zhao Si continued to ask: "Why do you meditate, I heard that Brother Yi, you meditate all day and night, and rarely lie down, which is not conducive to recovery." ”

"........" Li Yi was silent, he didn't know how to answer Zhao Si, his experience was beyond common sense, and even he thought he was dreaming.

"Little four, if I say that I haven't fallen asleep in the past ten years and went to another place, do you believe it? It's going to be a nervous wreck, hahaha, but I'm sure I'm not crazy, I did go through it. ”

The vast majority of mentally ill people do not consider themselves mentally ill.

Zhao replied without changing his face: "I believe in you, can you tell me what you have experienced in the past ten years?" ”

Psychotherapy can be roughly divided into two types, one is drug treatment, and the other is psychological counseling, that is, talk therapy. As the so-called heart disease medicine stone has no doctor, if you want to be cured, you still have to rely on words to heal.

Paranoids often can't tell the line between reality and illusion, and they make up a false fantasy for some reason.

However, Zhao Si found that he had underestimated Li Yi, and after getting the reply that he believed, the other party looked at himself quietly, as if he had nothing to hide under those calm eyes, both physically and mentally.

"Little Four, ten years later, you are still the same, you can't lie."

"........" Zhao Si panicked for the first time in the face of a patient.

"Heh..."Li Yi chuckled, then lowered his eyes and looked at the sheets, Shanshan said: "It's not ten years, it's five thousand seven hundred and thirty years, I use the pseudonym Li Changsheng, looking for immortals, asking immortals, and cultivating immortals." I don't fight, I don't take the elixir, I don't practice the Fa, I don't practice the magic weapon. I opened the immortal gate with my sword, stepped on the Buddhist sect, and suppressed the world. At first, they called me Demon Dao, then they called me Immortal Dao, and then they respected me as a Red Dust Immortal, a living immortal. ”

"And I'm just a mortal now, and I don't feel a trace of heaven and earth qi."

Cultivation has become his instinct, but modern times are not suitable for cultivation, and he can only absorb a trace of spiritual energy from heaven and earth after meditating for so many days. If you want to reach the standard of inducing qi into the body to open the spiritual platform, I am afraid it will take ten years, and the foundation may not be able to be achieved for a thousand years, and there is no more than this in the era of the end of the law.

There is a kind of confusion and fear that he does not know where to go, and he is afraid that everything he has experienced is illusory, and it is all the imagination of a mentally ill person.

He is the only one who knows the cultivation world, just as he is the only one in the cultivation world who knows the modern age.

"I'm a little lost..... Maybe it's really my imagination...."

"Tell me about it, it's not good to be pressed alone." Zhao Si was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that Brother Yi's conjecture was relatively slight. The hospital judged that it was a serious conjecture because of meditation, and it was a day to sit for a day to overcome physiology.

"Yes, you should be ..... Listen to the story. ”

"I was born in an ordinary farming family, and I didn't have the Immortal Gate Crossing Method, but I just relied on a book of qi training tips to enter the immortal path, and I took the path of an ancient qi refiner. I stayed in my hometown all the time before I was a hundred years old, and I said that I was actually just a mortal who could refine qi and essence, and I didn't understand anything else, and there were a lot of jokes in the middle. ”

The grassroots character design is the same as Brother Yi's reality.

Zhao Si said secretly, and at the same time continued to ask questions without changing his face, allowing the patient to continue: "What is the difference between a Qi Refiner and an Immortal Cultivator? ”

"There is no difference in essence, but cultivating immortals pays more attention to fighting, and many things need to be learned and fought for, such as the law and the land, the six arts of cultivating immortals, and so on. However, Qi Refiners only pay attention to refining Qi and refining essence, but because they do not have cultivation resources, it is generally difficult to achieve a great avenue. Personally, I am not good at fighting and do not like to be busy, so I spend most of my time sitting and forgetting, refining pills to cure diseases and save people in my spare time. ”

Li Yi returned to the topic: "I was born in a peasant family in Qingshui Village, and my grandfather used to be a wild Taoist priest who walked the rivers and lakes, and he belonged to the kind of pit meng abduction. And I showed that I was smarter than other children of the same age and became a prodigy in ten miles and eight towns, and the village raised funds for me to go to a private school........."

Soon only Li Yi's leisurely narration was left in the huge ward, and a picture scroll of an ancient Tian Ge herding cattle unfolded to Zhao Si, and the emperor's eloquence and story were very real, as if he had really experienced a crossing. Pictures appeared in his mind, and Li Yi's simple words could make him make up the pictures immediately.

The dilapidated farmhouse, the scenery of the countryside and fields, the childhood sweethearts, and the high spirits of the examination room.......

It is called the induction of heaven and man, and the spirit that Li Yi inadvertently exudes affects this room, and words are its medium.

In Li Yi's fictional world, he is a farmer's son, with his modern memory and adult IQ, he has become a prodigy in ten miles and eight towns, 8-year-old child, 13-year-old Xiucai became famous in one fell swoop, and was even often invited into the mansion by the county guard as a guest.

And he has also been engaged to marriage since he was a child, and the youngest daughter of the family next door is beautiful and knowledgeable, and the two can be described as childhood sweethearts.

Career, love, and future are all there, and he is simply a winner in life.

It's the same as before he became a vegetative person.,Except for the absence of a childhood sweetheart.,It's basically an enviable existence.。

Zhao Si vaguely grasped Li Yi's "cause", he was unwilling to accept that his life was ruined like this, and all the fictional worlds were created. Where his life is still dazzling and still full of spirit.

"I thought that life would be over like this, but something happened. The county guard, who was very close to me, was exiled by the new emperor because he was on the wrong side, and I was implicated by him and could not participate in the scientific examination, and my former classmates were alienated from me, but fortunately, my fiancΓ©e never gave up on me. In the end, I gave up my career and went back to the village to marry my fiancΓ©e and open a private school, and my life was quite passable. ”

Zhao Si said secretly: The end of the career is the same as being hit, and they will all fly into trouble.

In the ancient society, where everything was inferior, only the high level of reading, the loss of career basically meant the end of life. However, Brother Yi later imagined marrying his childhood sweetheart, did it indicate that he wanted to open up and live an ordinary life.

"A year later, a few Dao Aunts came to the village, and they were the first immortal cultivators they came into contact with."

Zhao Si asked, "You have embarked on the path of immortality since then, which is impressive?" ”

"Nope." Li Yi shook his head, a wry smile appeared on his face, "They took my wife, she seems to have some special physique that is very suitable for cultivation." ”

"Your wife abandoned you?"

"No, I told her to go. Since you can see the wider world, there is no need to be a frog at the bottom of the well with me. Xi'er is also a very good and strong person, her favorite is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period I told her, I can see that she yearns for galloping the world, rather than playing husband and children. Walked away after getting my consent....."

"She took you to practice later?"

Li Yi still shook his head: "She never came back." She didn't come back until I buried my parents, father-in-law, and mother-in-law, who were over 40 years old and half-gray and the house I built with her collapsed. ”

"Didn't you see her again?"

"I saw it, but..."Li Yi tilted his head slightly, as if recalling the past, "That was a thousand years later, I reached the realm of refining the gods and returning to the void, and she also became a gray-haired old man." She hugged me and cried, and I could smell the old man's stench in her rouge powder, and she still cared so much about the smell of herself. ”

A picture of a fish jumping out, the beautiful wife is already dying, and the husband is still a teenager when he is found.

"She begged me to take her back, and I refused."

"Why?"

"It's been a thousand years, people are gone, houses have collapsed, and hometowns have become lakes. And she has seen enough of the prosperity of the world, I haven't seen it, the Gangfeng in the nine heavens, the Lethe River under the nine glooms, the endless mountains, and the giant turtle carrying the mountains..... I want to check it out. ”

"I still want to ask if there are immortals in the world? It's a pity that no...."

Li Yi smiled, smiling very slightly, but that almost arrogant smile made Zhao Si's breath stagnate, as if he was really a peerless master who overwhelmed the world.

Strange, very strange.

Li Yi smiled with relief and sighed: "The road to immortality is long, everyone is a lone seeker, even if Xi'er comes back to accompany me, there is a high probability that I will leave her in the end." Meeting is fate, and meeting again is a blessing, and I don't dare to ask for too much. ”

"....." Zhao Si was silent, it was not bad to see him as depressed.

"Then did Brother Yi become an immortal in the end?"

"No, heaven and earth are not allowed to become immortals, my talent is dull and only to the realm of refining gods and returning to the void, which is far from the way of refining the void."

"Then how did Brother Yi embark on the path of cultivation?"

"That's a long story, my grandfather is a Taoist priest in the rivers and lakes, relying on the classics he doesn't know where he came from and the Taoist scriptures we have here, I have studied for decades and finally brought qi into the body........."

。

。

。

In the next three days, Zhao Si ran to the hospital, and he couldn't even take care of the business of his clinic.

While communicating with the hospital about the treatment plan, he chatted with Li Yi as a psychiatrist and listened to him tell about his bizarre spiritual life.

Li Yi's imaginary world, unlike most patients with similar symptoms, is not smooth sailing, and the road to cultivating immortals can be described as difficult and dangerous. There was no one to bring him to the beginning, he could only rely on his feelings to practice little by little, most of the time he was walking the wrong path, and there were a few times when he had problems practicing and lay in bed for several years, until he was 70 years old, he barely got started.

He didn't say how good he was, didn't describe his "great achievements", and even said a word about some of his life's highlights. On the contrary, Li Yi prefers to tell about his difficult and dangerous exploration journey, and whenever he talks about whether he understands the solution, his eyes seem to be shining.

It may be a weak heart, or it may be that it is not important.

Li Yi's eloquence is very good, sometimes Zhao Si is unconsciously immersed in it, and countless pictures float in his mind.

Zhao Si took his friend's medical record, and the hospital doctor said to him, "Doctor Zhao, you should tell him the reality." According to our observations, Li Yi's situation is better than expected, he has a very complete logical thinking, and there is no violent tendency. He is more peaceful than anyone else and should accept the facts. ”

In the past few days, the hospital has also been observing their conversations, and the hospital has seen Li Yi's sobriety, his logic, and his communicability from the conversations. Li Yi's medical records changed from severe paranoia to mild, which means that the hospital considers him just a normal person with a bit of paranoia.

"You can also discharge him from the hospital without wasting money. Spend hundreds of thousands a month, what are you trying to do? ”

"How?" Zhao Si asked, he knew very well what to do, but he still asked, as if this would alleviate the guilt, obviously he had scolded the patient more than once before.

"Tell him that it's been ten years, and that he's not an immortal, just a vegetative person who has slept for ten years."
