Volume 1 The Man Under the Umbrella Chapter 13 The Bitterness and Sweetness of the Sugar Gourd
As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked, and the people from the Lingnan Sword Sect under this tree looked at Nandao with shocked expressions, and they just felt that there was a flow and convergence of heaven and earth vitality, and they thought that it was because of the clump blades under the tree that were cultivating, but they didn't expect that someone was entering the Tao here.
The woman in the white dress was the last to look back at the South Island.
The always cold face is also full of disbelief expressions.
Her original intention was just to make Nandao die, but she never thought that he would really be able to enter the sermon in this sermon!
The voice of Yun Hu's unknown sermon in the sermon was still ringing by the stream, but under the apricot tree in the Sword Sect, no one cared anymore.
Nan Dao looked at everyone's expressions, scratched his head and said, "Am I not considered to have entered the Dao?" ”
The woman in the white dress looked at Nandao in silence for a long time, stood up, and said, "You come with me." ”
Nandao got up and followed the woman in the white dress out for some reason.
The two of them passed through many pulpits, crossed a path covered with white flowers, and came to the meditation lake.
The woman in the white dress stopped on the shore of the lake, then turned to look at Nandao and said, "Stretch out your hand." ”
Nandao stretched out his hand imaginatively, and was fantasizing that the woman in the white dress also stretched out her hand to check his hand, but saw the woman in the white dress say lightly: "Let me see the vitality in your body." ”
"It's not about looking at heaven and earth..... "The ghost of Nandao was about to say the root of heaven and earth, when he raised his eyes, he met the woman's cold gaze, and stopped his mouth, and then operated the heaven and earth vitality that was absorbed into his body, converging to his fingertips.
The woman looked at it in silence for a long time, then looked up at Nandao and asked, "Have you ever practiced the Five Thousand Words of the Green Ox or other cultivation methods before?" ”
Nandao shook his head and said, "I just heard that this book exists. ”
The woman in the white dress looked at Nandao deeply for a long time, turned to look at Jingsi Lake, and said softly: "Do you know the difficulty of entering the world? ”
"I don't know."
"Initiation is just a general term. Speaking of the experience of the two thousand years of the Dao in the present world, before entering the Dao, there are actually three pseudo-realms, that is, Qi Sense, Entering the Body, and Zhou Tian. ”
Nandao listened ignorantly, just a few days ago, he was just a teenager squatting under the eaves of the town with an umbrella all day long, and in just a few days in Nanyi City, he had received too many things that he had never understood before.
"The so-called sense of qi is to look at oneself inwardly, and then feel the rules of faint flow between heaven and earth, which is also the avenue."
"After having the sense of qi, it is to constantly get close to it, meditate on it in order to be in harmony with it, and then introduce it into the body, and plant the seeds that are the immortality of Ceres."
"The seed will slowly move on its own, absorb the power of heaven and earth, strengthen itself, and then move around and wash its own body, this step is called Zhou Tian, also called assimilation."
Nan Dao looked at the back of the woman in the white dress and asked puzzledly, "Why is it called assimilation?" ”
The woman in the white dress looked at the calm water of Jingsi Lake and was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "This is a saying from a thousand years ago, and some people at that time believed that the so-called cultivation was alienation, and this statement has also survived, but now it is generally called assimilation. I thought that I entered the avenue for assimilation. ”
"I see."
The woman in the white dress continued.
"Of the three stages, the first stage is screening, and from a general point of view, the Great Dao is limited, so it is impossible to leave enough seeds in everyone to feel it, and the Qi Sense is the most critical place to screen the secular and spiritual worlds."
When Nandao heard this, he remembered Mr. Mei, who was the one who was screened by the Great Dao.
"And the second stage is to test the affinity between the seed in your body and the Great Dao. The higher the affinity, the shorter the time from feeling the qi to the inducing qi into the body, which is generally between January and March in the current practice world. ”
"And the last stage is to look at your talent, which is ..... Heaven and earth roots. ”
The god of grains is immortal, it is called Xuanqi. The gate of Xuanqi is the root of heaven and earth. If it exists, it is not used diligently.
Nandao finally understood what Yun Hu meant by what he had said earlier.
The woman in the white dress turned around and looked at Nandao with a complicated expression.
"Sitting and entering the Dao, I haven't seen it, even if it's just the initial entry to the mountain realm."
"If you really haven't practiced before."
"Your heaven and earth roots are indeed very large."
Nanjima scratched his head and asked, "How big?" ”
The woman in the white dress glared at him, turned and walked towards the path from which she came.
"I don't know."
When she walked to the trailhead and stood under the door full of flowers and vines, the woman in the white dress looked back at Nandao, and said with a cold look in her eyes: "My name is Qiu Xi'er, every afternoon, you can come to Jingsi Lake, and I will teach you to learn swords." ”
Nandao couldn't help but walk towards the woman in the white dress with joy, but was blocked by a sword intent, and almost cut off the toe of his shoe. Nan Dao looked down at the sword intent, not knowing when it appeared, but he heard the woman in the white dress continue to speak.
"Also, don't tell others how long you entered the Dao, your initiation is too weird. The Sword Sect is there, I will solve it. You should stand here for three hours now, and when it is later, go and find Mr. Yunhuda. ”
The people in front of Nandao were still able to understand, but when they heard that they didn't know what to find Yunhu, they were a little strange, and asked, "What are you going to do with Mr. Yunhu?" ”
"There are some things that he may understand better."
Qiu Xi'er finished speaking calmly, and then disappeared on the path.
Nandao held an umbrella and stayed alone on the shore of Jingsi Lake, and the sword intent stayed in front of him. Nandao said in his heart, if you stop me in front, I can't just walk from behind.
So as soon as he turned around, he saw another sword intent.
......
When Qiu Xi'er returned to the Jiazi preaching floor, Cong Jian had already left at some point.
Those people from the Lingnan Sword Sect had also disappeared, and the Four Broken Sword Cheng Lu was looking at the direction of Jingsi Lake with his eyes, and when he saw Qiu Xi'er coming back, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did Senior Sister just go to talk to him?" ”
Qiu Xi'er sat down in place, looked at Yun Hu and said in a cold voice, "It's nothing." ”
Then he looked at Cheng Lu and said, "How about Senior Brother Cheng do me a favor?" ”
Cheng Lu frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Help me take a trip to Lingnan."
"Senior sister doesn't want the people in Lingnan to spread the news?"
Qiu Xi'er said calmly: "No, it's just this person, I want to sharpen the sword cliff." ”
......
The man I had seen in the Mathematics and Science Institute in Nandao before was standing quietly on a stone bridge over the Nanyi River outside the Hanging Courtyard, and the long street was full of people coming and going, very lively, but this place was lonely.
Cong Jian bought a sugar gourd and walked slowly down the street.
"I haven't eaten this in years, do you want one?" Cong Blade walked to the bridge, stopped beside the man, and held up the sugar gourd in his hand to gesture.
Bu Operator turned his head to look at the sugar gourd, which was red, like a lantern, and the syrup was licked and melted a little, like blood. So he shook his head and said, "I'll forget it, how many years haven't you eaten?" ”
Cong Jian looked at the sugar gourd in his hand, squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, and looked up at this prosperous ancient city.
"It's been a thousand years, I remember that at that time, I was only a teenager, because I couldn't figure out some problems, and I was unhappy every day, so my master asked my brothers to come and play cards with me."
Cong Jian said, shaking his head and smiling, and when he looked at the world again, his eyes were full of nostalgia.
"But I don't like to play cards, I prefer to go and drink, and then buy some sugar gourds, lick them, take a sip, and the taste of alcohol after eating sugar is so bitter that I can't swallow it. It was only then that I realized that the tide that came up from life was more bitter than anything else. ”
Bu Operator looked at Cong Jian calmly, as if he had understood what he wanted to say.
Then Cong Jian gnawed off a grain of hawthorn and said vaguely: "Some people's lives are sweet and bitter, such as me, and some people's lives are bitter all the way." ”
Cong Jian didn't say whose life it was, but Bu Operator knew who he was talking about.
"Fate can be unpredictable, let alone just a road forward." Bu Operator said lightly.
The two looked together at a certain intersection in the street, where people came and went, and no one seemed to be making a choice.
Cong Jian looked at Bu Operator and laughed, and returned Bu Operator's most famous sentence: "How do you know that this is not the original intention of fate?" ”
"I'm three feet away from my fate, so I don't know." Bu Operator said calmly, and then walked off the bridge.
There was a girl waiting there with a boat on the side of the bridge.
Her name is Rat Mouse.
The fortune operator got into the boat, and then the boat slowly moved south with the flowing water.
Cong Blade also got off the bridge, gnawing on the remaining few hawthorns while walking in the direction of the Human Sword Sect.
......
The story doesn't go as Qiu Xi'er thinks - Nandao is trapped in the sword intent, and then bored waiting for her to unlock the cage.
The fact is that Nandao squatted on the edge of the lake rather bored, pulled out the line from his clothes, and sank into the lake with those few sword intent to catch fish.
At the beginning, Nandao looked at the sword intent on all sides, so he tried to drive the vitality that had just been introduced into his body to touch the sword intent.
That meager vitality was naturally shattered at the first touch, and it returned to heaven and earth again.
Nandao frowned for a while, and then suddenly had a whim, and carefully poked it with his finger.
As a result, when those sword intents touched Nandao's fingertips, they instantly became docile and fell into Nandao's palm like a few fish.
At first, Nandao was very excited, but after fiddling with it for half an hour, he realized that he couldn't seem to conjure up other tricks. The only thing that has been researched is to allow them to attach to the black umbrella in your hand.
Convenient for easy use.
Later, the South Island began to use them for fishing.
When Qiu Xi'er came in the afternoon, she saw Nandao sitting by the lake dozing.
"What about sword intent?"
Qiu Xi'er's usual cold voice sounded in his ears, Nandao was excited, jumped up, and those few sword intents were thrown ashore, landed on the black umbrella, and then were included in it.
Qiu Xi'er looked at this scene in surprise, raised her hand to touch the edge of the black umbrella, was silent for a long time, looked at Nandao with an embarrassed face, and asked, "Where did you get this umbrella from?" ”
Nandao rubbed his eyes, yawned and said, "My dad knocked it for me." ”
Qiu Xi'er looked at the black umbrella quietly and said, "It is indeed a good sword." ”
“?” The South Island is confused.
Qiu Xi'er didn't mention this umbrella again, looked Nandao up and down, and asked, "Those sword intents were tamed by you?" ”
Nandao scratched his head and said, "Yes." ”
He wasn't sure if it was his fault.
Qiu Xi'er looked at Nandao with a complicated expression and said:
"Your heaven and earth roots are bigger than I thought."
