Chapter 2 The Savior
Jinan Prefecture, Pingyuan County.
It was dusk and the sun was setting in the west. There was a woman dressed in coarse cloth, limping step by step, carrying an empty pole, and walked slowly along the village path.
Today's cloth is all sold out again. Thinking of this, Qiao Nu felt a little relaxed. She is industrious and skillful, and the cloth she weaves is very popular with everyone, and every time she sells cloth at the stall, there is not even a piece of cloth left. This is definitely a pillar of survival for her, who makes a living from weaving cloth and still has children.
Her fate was not lucky.
Qiao Nu lost her father at a young age and lived with her mother and younger sister. Because there are only mothers and daughters in the family, they are inevitably exposed on weekdays, not to mention that the countryside does not pay special attention to the prevention of men and women.
However, she was born black and ugly, with an open nose and a lame leg, every time she went out to wash and fetch water, she would be discussed in front of her face and ridiculed behind her back, and no matchmaker came to her door to propose marriage. It wasn't until she became a twenty-eight-year-old girl that she married a poor old widower of forty-eight years old in the same county.
However, only three years later, the old widower fell ill and died in a snowy winter, leaving only a newborn son.
I wanted to go back to my parents' house to ask my mother for help, but my mother refused to let her live in her parents' house for a long time, and only my sister secretly helped. Qiao Nu has been discriminated against and bullied since she was a child, and she has already developed an independent and self-reliant character, so she took her son back to the old widower's house, weaving cloth every night, and selling it in the county during the day, barely wrapping her belly.
Life was already hard. Unexpectedly, four days ago at night, Qiao Nu was weaving, and when she was tired, she suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground outside the door. Her house is in a remote area, and there are few people around, Qiao Nu couldn't help but get nervous, delicately removed the weft beating wooden knife of the loom, and walked carefully to the door.
It was quiet outside the door. Qiao Nu's eyes were already dizzy, and she could only see a black mass on the ground outside the fence door, and she didn't move.
Qiao Nu looked back at the room where the child was sleeping, swallowed her saliva, and approached boldly.
It turned out to be a person.
She tried to poke the person with a wooden knife, but there was no response, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she couldn't help but make a difficulty.
In the early spring of this cold day, normal people lie outside all night, and they are afraid that they will freeze to death. But to save him, the family is surrounded by walls, not to mention, he has no power to restrain the chicken, and his son is young, in case this person wakes up with evil intentions......
After thinking about it, she thought of her husband who had just died of illness due to the cold, and when she relented, she struggled to drag this person into the demolition house, visited him every day, and poured some hot water, wild vegetable soup, etc., to maintain this person's life.
Thinking of the people who were still unconscious at home, Qiao Nu's pace couldn't help but be a little faster.
This person has delicate skin, no calluses on his hands, obviously has not suffered, he is dressed strangely, looks like a Taoist costume, and his daily life should at least be worry-free. But she inquired for a few days, but she didn't hear of any missing people in the county or in the palace.
"If he doesn't wake up tomorrow, I'll report to the police." Qiao Nu thought about it, and silently carried out the construction of her heart. In the face of the government, poor grass people like her have a natural fear.
……
"Strange ceiling."
Thatched roofs, to be exact.
His eyelids fluttered, Xu Su opened his eyes suddenly, and was affected by the sudden feeling of dizziness, and slowly closed them.
After a while, he gradually got used to his physical condition, and he was able to sit up and lean against the stack of wood.
"I'm ...... What's the situation? ”
The discomfort in the body gradually disappeared, and in its place was a wonderful sensation flowing through the body.
Xu Su only sat for a while, and then he felt that his physical strength had been restored, and his ears and eyes were clear, and his thinking was quick, which was a state that he had never felt before.
"What is this?" Confused, he got up and moved around. I was obviously sleeping, and I was dreaming, why was I wearing the Taoist costume of Maoshan Chuandu now, in this dilapidated place.
"Crunch~"
Suddenly, the small door of the firewood room opened, and Xu Su hurriedly looked, but saw a black and ugly woman in ancient costume, holding a flat pole and carefully probing her brain.
This dress-up?
Xu Su had a conjecture in his heart, he naturally raised his hand and asked aloud: "You are merciful, may I ask what you call it?" What is this place? ”
The one who entered the door was Qiao Nu, who had just returned home and was attracted by the movement in the firewood room.
Xu Su was a young Taoist in his early twenties, full of Taoist books, and he showed kindness in his gestures, Qiao Nu gradually let down her guard, hurriedly bowed, hesitated for a moment, and invited Xu Su into the house to talk.
After all, orphans and widows, Xu Su is not suitable for a man to sit in the courtyard and talk, in case he is seen, it is not good for anyone.
As the night deepened, Xu Su sat in the firewood room, silently sorting out the information he had obtained today.
It seems that he has indeed traveled to ancient times. But how did you get through? Why did the pajamas change to a roadgot? It's still not clear, and it's mysterious everywhere.
After thinking for a while, he had no clue, he pulled a ball of dry grass, sat on it, habitually finished the evening class, and recited the "Jade Sutra in the Yellow Garden".
Unfinished again, Xu Su discovered the abnormal movement in his body!
This is...... Inward-looking?
When Xu Su was chanting, his spirit unconsciously guarded inward, and in a trance, he seemed to see his body all around, and gradually became as transparent as crystal, and only the five internal organs were five colors, surrounded by five-colored smoke. And as he recited, the five-colored haze gradually thickened and condensed. When the recitation was finished, the smoke gradually dispersed into the five internal organs, but left five villain images of a few inches in length!
Xu Su's heart was shocked. He has been studying the Taoist book for a long time, how can he not know what it is?
This is the inner deity that contemplation has achieved! And these five inner gods, showing five colors, are respectively within the five internal organs, and they must be the gods of the five internal organs!
Has you really embarked on the journey of your own immortality?!
Xu Su was so excited, and in addition to being excited, he continued to chant the sutra until he was full ten times, feeling a little tired, and then stopped.
At the end of the ten times, Xu Su observed that the appearance of the five inner gods had not changed significantly, and he knew that this was the accumulation of years of cultivation. At present, the inner god can appear, I am afraid that it is the result of my previous years of accumulation, and now it is the result of being stimulated by the crossing event.
Although there are some small achievements, they are still far from using the various Taoist methods in the "Shangqing Sutra". At present, the "Huangting Neijing Jade Sutra" has not yet been completed, and this scripture is only an introductory pre-study of the "Shangqing Sutra".
Xu Su lay on the haystack and thought of the woman who had saved him.
This is a poor man, but also a kind man. I want to help her, at least improve her living conditions.
But first, you have to figure out your environment. Let's take a look at the county tomorrow, you should be able to get more information.
Xu Su thought for a while and fell asleep.
