Chapter 25: The Fruit
"Fruit?"
Li Xiangping raised his head and looked at Li Qiuyang, who was sitting cross-legged suspiciously.
"Yes..."
Li Qiuyang looked a little uneasy, his hands tightly pinched the corners of his clothes, he had condensed a wisp of spiritual energy after practicing for a few nights, and he felt that the speed was not the same as in the volume, for fear that he would fail to practice the gong, so he hurriedly took the method and asked Li Xiangping.
When Li Xiangping heard Li Qiuyang's cultivation speed, he was so frightened that he took the Qingyuan Wheel Cultivation Method and looked at it, and pondered it carefully several times.
After a full cup of tea, Li Xiangping looked up and asked him if he had eaten anything strange.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Qiuyang suddenly remembered a major event and hurriedly replied:
"A few years ago, several partners insisted on being bold and agreed to climb the back mountain, but in the end, I was the only one who went up the mountain, and I didn't see my partner on the road, and I got lost unconsciously."
"As I walked, I saw a little green tree, and on it hung six or seven red fruits, which were shining red and looked very delicious."
"I really couldn't help it, so I picked a fruit to eat in a daze, walked down the mountain in a daze, and slept for three days after I came back, so anxious that my father found many people to come and see."
After listening to Li Qiuyang's speech, Li Xiangping couldn't help but be speechless for a while, patted Li Qiuyang's shoulder, and said:
"Now it seems that it only takes a little more than a year for you to condense the Xuanjing Wheel."
Seeing Li Qiuyang's face full of hope, Li Xiangping continued:
"But there's one more thing that matters."
Li Qiuyang was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Li Xiangping.
"Take me up the mountain to find the spiritual root."
————
Li Tongya returned to the small courtyard of Lijing, and as soon as he crossed the stone steps in front of the door, he saw that Liu Rouxuan was sitting obediently in the courtyard, supporting her chin with both hands, and counting the fruit seedlings in the spiritual field in a daze.
Seeing Li Tongya coming in from the door, Liu Rou stood up from the stone bench with a smile, looked at Li Tongya with her eyebrows lowered, and said timidly:
"Immortal Master."
"It doesn't have to be so polite."
Li Tongya waved his hand, his gaze quickly skimmed over Liu Rou's beautiful eyebrows, and said with a smile:
"I'm only six or seven years older than you, just call me Tongya."
Seeing Li Tongya's easy-to-talk appearance, Liu Rouxuan relaxed a lot, thought about it and said:
"Brother Tongya."
Li Tongya nodded, got up and took out a wooden tablet from the wooden shelf in the house, and said to Liu Rouxuan:
"This is the method of the fetal rest realm, called "Qingyuan Wheel Raising Method", you first memorize it in the courtyard, remember not to spread it."
"Yes!"
Liu Rouxuan responded in surprise, respectfully took the wooden tablet with both hands, and carefully held it in her arms.
"Every day at the hour and at the hour of the day, someone will bring a meal, and if there is anything needed, you can also tell the person and ask someone to bring it."
Li Tongya took the teapot, said while pouring tea, poured two small cups of tea, and continued:
"On weekdays, I don't often be in this courtyard, but Chenshi and Shenshi will come to give spiritual rain to this spiritual field, if you have any questions about your cultivation, just mention it."
Seeing Liu Rouxuan nodding again and again, Li Tongya smiled and asked softly:
"Have you ever brought any utensils and clothes from home?"
"It's been delivered." Liu Rouxuan replied.
"Then you will clean up and live in the East House, practice weekdays, don't go out before you become Xuanjing, have you ever read?"
Li Tongya asked suddenly.
"When I was young, I read a little and I knew a few words."
"Then you don't need me to teach you one by one, you read through it first, and then ask me if you have any questions."
Liu Rouxuan should have spoken, holding the wooden tablet and looking at it word by word.
Looking at Liu Rouxuan burying her head to read the Qingyuan wheel raising method, Li Tongya sipped his tea, thinking about it with or without a match:
"This kid came to Lijing Village, he is unfamiliar with the place, and he is trapped in this courtyard, so he doesn't have to worry about the exercises leaking out in the past few years."
Just thinking about it, I heard a loud laugh, and someone pushed the door into the small courtyard.
"Third brother, why are you here?"
Li Tongya opened his mouth in some surprise, but saw that Li Qiuyang was following behind Li Xiangping, with a worried face.
Li Xiangping told him about Linggen, Li Tongya was naturally surprised, and he had a little more attention to this Li Qiuyang in his heart, and as soon as the two of them combined, they took Li Yesheng and a few strong men in the village to the back mountain.
The season has entered the late autumn, the mountains are scattered and scattered, the leaves are falling, and the wild beasts are fat and strong, and they are dormant and ready to spend the winter.
With the abundant and vibrant reeds, the people of Lijing Village have never been very interested in the back mountain, but with the reeds to feed, why go to the deep mountains to fight with the beast?
Therefore, the people of Lijing Village for generations only rely on the few mountains and forests at the foot of the back mountain to harvest some firewood, use some sandalwood or June snow to cook rice, these dwarf trees grow quickly, and are easy to pick, only when building a house to go up the mountain to cut wood.
Therefore, the path on the back mountain was full of thorns and vines, and Li Qiuyang couldn't remember the approximate road, so several villagers took firewood knives to open the road, and Li Xiangping and Li Tongya followed behind.
"Second brother, I have some questions."
Li Xiangping took Li Qiuyang's hand and turned his head to look at Li Tongya.
"How?"
"You said that this Si Yuanbai has demarcated the boundary for my family, and outside this boundary is someone else's land, before my Li family rises, that family only needs to send a child to this place. Who would dare to disobey their fate? ”
"Then why has my Li family been cultivating here for two hundred years, and not a single immortal cultivator is willing to come? Do you really disdain these mortals? ”
Li Tongya touched his chin and said with a solemn expression:
"I've also thought about this, listening to what Si Yuanbai meant, there was no spiritual opportunity here for hundreds of years, so there was no immortal cultivator at all, so there was no immortal cultivator willing to waste time here."
"Second, this side is Dali Mountain, the mountains are endless, how many monsters and ghosts are there in the mountains? Far less comfortable than that county town. ”
Li Xiangping nodded in agreement, his face was a little ugly, and he said to Li Tongya in a low voice:
"Brother, there's a worse possibility."
"Although this Qingchi Sect is extremely powerful, it only occupies a quarter of the Yue Kingdom, is there no strong enemy around? I'm afraid that in my Li family, it is on the edge of his Qingchi Sect's power! ”
"The two villages compete for water, and naturally no one wants to get crops on the side, which is the reason. According to Xu Wenshan, to the south is the country of Wu, and there is constant friction between Wu and Yue, and the relationship between the Immortal Sect behind it is probably not much better! ”
Li Tongya's heart froze, and his face was difficult to look at, and he said:
"But it's an omission, tomorrow I will send someone to carefully investigate around Guli Road, and it is important to find out the situation of my Li family first."
"I just hope that my Li family won't be the crops that the Qingchi Sect planted on the side."
Li Xiangping smiled bitterly, but listened to Li Yesheng in front of him shouting with a few sweaty villagers.
"Immortal Master! What a big worm! ”
