Chapter 5 Born to be a Human Being
"Knock-knock-knock-"
The bell is far away, and the timbre is extremely deep, cleansing away the glitz and fatigue of the night.
Nan Xiao woke up from her deep sleep and found a pair of black cloth shoes embroidered with silver leaves and clothes next to the bed.
And the sika deer has been waiting at the door for a long time, and its wet eyes are full of excitement.
Hurriedly put on white clothes and cloth shoes, and under the guidance of the sika deer, Nan Xiao trotted all the way in the direction of the school.
The fairy mountains are ethereal, and the majestic peaks are dangerous.
On the gentle slopes, there are terraced fields.
The heights are dotted with pavilions, and the valleys are lined with houses.
The blue-robed cultivator stood on the ridge of the ditch, with a bright belly, waving a large pu fan and blowing the seedlings.
The early sun shines in the east, and the rainbow is in the sky.
Nan Xiao looked up and saw a clear spring stretching in the sky like silk.
There is a fairy in a purple dress, with hair like a waterfall, driving the flowing spring to irrigate in mid-air.
Flowing water came from heaven and scattered with the wind.
Nan Xiao was fascinated, she didn't expect that cultivation could replace manpower to a certain extent, so she slowed down her running speed and admired it seriously.
After a while, the fairy rainbow was far away.
The wind gradually stopped, and the water did not rise.
Gray-robed people came from the valley, some leading oxen, some carrying plows, yawning, and began another day's labor.
Perhaps there will be cultivators coming to loosen the soil and weed.
I didn't see a herd of deer this time.
Nan Xiao chased the plum blossoms, went around the mountain road, and ran for half an hour.
In front of it is a jasper building, about three floors.
The staircase is outside, and the moss in front of the stairs is thick and verdant.
Nan Xiao heard the sound of books on the second floor, but there were no footprints on the steps in front of the door, so she made a mistake.
"Meihua, I seem to be late, how should I get in?"
Nan Xiao rubbed her head, she was still a little panting, and she did not rush to the second floor by stepping on the steps, but wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, and asked the sika medicine deer who was extremely human.
Her voice was low and soft.
The sika deer shook its head, then stared at the moss on the steps, its eyes lit up, and its hooves moved in unison, ready to come forward to eat.
"Smack!"
There was a crisp slapping sound from above.
Reading on the second floor suddenly stopped.
The sika deer whined and whispered, and a silver collar appeared around its neck, binding it in place.
Nan Xiao stood beside him, not reaching out to rescue, but looking up to find the root of all the strange things.
Really!
On the second floor of the splendid jasper, there is an old man with crane hair and a childish face looking down on the railing.
Nan Xiao bowed slightly, held the full moon jade pendant in both hands, and said, "Disciple Nan Xiao, disciple of Elder Zilu, meet the Venerable Master." ”
"If you are the son of an elder, why don't you know the rules? The moss that was late on the first day, missed the morning lunch time, and indulged the medicine deer, and was used to warn the younger generations not to be lazy was almost destroyed! ”
The old man's tone was very serious and unpolite, and he directly pointed out Nan Xiao's question.
Nan Xiao did not deny it, but maintained her posture and quietly listened to the old man's teachings.
"Remembering your first offense, and your master is my senior brother, so you will only be punished with three precepts."
Seeing that Nan Xiao's attitude was quite correct, the old man turned his back.
The sound of the book on it is re-written.
Nan Xiao stood up straight and found that the collar around the neck of the sika deer had disappeared.
The bronze door on the first floor of the Jasper Building also slowly opened.
"Meihua, you go back first, don't wait for me."
After saying this, Nan Xiao crossed the threshold and entered the Jade Tower.
It wasn't dark inside, it was even brighter than the early morning light outside.
Nothing but nine bronze hanging lamps hanging overhead and a revolving wooden staircase in the very center.
After a rough glance at the overall layout, Nan Xiao walked up the stairs on the inner floor and walked briskly to the second floor.
The layout and desk placement on the second floor are roughly the same as the layout that Nan Xiao saw in the private school of Banyuepo School.
The unsmiling old man in a green shirt covered his body, holding a green jade ring ruler in one hand, checking the schoolwork of the white-robed apprentices.
"Disciple Nan Xiao, disciple of Elder Zilu, meet the Venerable Master."
Seeing that the old man didn't care about himself, Nan Xiao had to give it up again.
Suddenly, the full moon jade pendant in Nan Xiao's palm was protruded by a soft force and fell steadily back into Nan Xiao's arms.
Then the green jade ring ruler held by the old man turned into blue light, and he slapped Nan Xiao's palm three times.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
The sound is crisper than the other.
Nan Xiao endured the pain in her heart, she didn't say a word, but the tears in her eyes fell uncontrollably.
The palm of the hand, which was already covered with calluses from climbing, was shattered by the blue light, and the hard flesh on the epidermis fell directly to the ground with the dirty blood.
It all happened at the top of the staircase.
In addition to Nan Xiao, there were eight boys and girls in white robes sitting on bamboo benches not far away.
There are a total of ten desks, two in a row.
The first four rows are full, and the last two desks are still available.
The group of children about the same size as Nan Xiao are all exquisitely carved, either white and pure, or round and chubby, like porcelain dolls.
At this time, most of these porcelain dolls pinched their noses, and their eyes were full of complaints.
Probably the old man didn't expect this to happen to Nan Xiao's palm, he frowned, took out a palm-sized copper lamp from his arms, and blew the candle flame lightly at the filth.
Tongues of fire swept through the hard flesh and blood, and before the smell of burnt burnt could spread, the filth was incinerated away, leaving only a pool of black ash in its place.
Putting away the copper lamp, the old man waved his wide sleeves, and the wind and wisps of water swept away the scorched black on the ground.
The jasper floor is once again spotless.
"Find an empty seat to sit."
"Uncle Xie!"
Nan Xiao, due to her difficult childhood and early childhood wisdom, calmly chose the most corner position to sit down in the eyes of a crowd of disdain.
"My name is Master Qingxuan, Shenqiao Cultivator, and in the next three months, I will guide you in your cultivation, medicine refining, and animal taming. I have already told you the mantra of the bitter sea chapter of the Tao Sutra before, and now I can ask any questions. ”
Master Qingxuan sat upright on the bamboo chair at the front, and there was no ruler in his hand.
"Venerable Master, I am the clan brother of Lan Yu Eucalyptus Immortal Miao, and my name is Yu Qin. What I want to ask is, in the sea of bitterness and silence, is it really endless death? Why is the first step in practice to seek death? ”
Yu Qin, the boy sitting at the front, was the first to ask. Although his clothes were white with Nan Xiao and the others, a golden leaf could be seen on his neckline.
Master Qingxuan nodded, appreciating Qin very much, and affirmed: "Yes, people's cultivation is to cultivate the path of birth in the land of death, and the sea of suffering is death, and naturally all are endless death. However, the essence of the human wheel of life is dissipated by cultivation and eventually floats on the surface of the sea of suffering. As long as you practice further, you can make full use of the essence overflowing from the wheel of life and open up a fountain of life in the sea of suffering, thus laying the foundation for the future Shaping God Bridge to ascend to the other side. ”
The girl who sat in the first row with Yu Qin was wearing two croissants, muttering, she obviously wanted to be the first to ask a question just now, but she was preempted.
At this time, it did not mean that Qin continued to ask questions, and the girl hurriedly shouted: "Venerable, it's my turn!" I am Bao Fei, my brother is Bao Wan, the one who is a childhood sweetheart with Qingcheng Fairy, our family is in the Wangxian Market under the West Gate of Shu Road in Qingya Blessed Land, a merchant home dedicated to providing mortal treasures for immortals! ”
Master Qingxuan's thin lips opened lightly, and he interrupted, "Talk about the problem." ”
"What I want to ask you is, what kind of physique are those immortal seedlings? Why was it named a fairy seedling? Bao Fei's little face was ruddy, and at a glance, he knew that he had grown up rich, full of the spirit of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.
After hearing this question, Master Qingxuan sat up slightly and said solemnly, "The sky belongs to the birds, because the birds have wings and are suitable for flying. The scale fish returns to the river and the sea because the scale fish breathes in a way that is suitable for survival in the water. Tigers hunt with sharp teeth, snakes and insects have toxins ......"
"It's the same with human beings, some people are born with the right people to practice. This kind of people, whether it is the refining and operation of the essence of heaven and earth, or the understanding and deduction of Tao and reason, and the deduction and appropriation of the four seasons and fortunes, are all beyond ordinary people. And the best of this kind of people have a natural physique, and they are given a proper name by virtue of the brilliant achievements of their ancestors. For example, the feather body of Zhongzhou, the divine body of the Eastern Wilderness, the heavenly demon body of Nanling, etc., as well as the innate Dao fetus that can sway the Great Dao, the Hades body that connects the underworld with visions, the Taiyin body and the sun body are rare in ancient times, and the chaotic body is rare in eternity. Throughout the ages, in addition to the legendary Chaos Body, the Ancient Holy Body can be regarded as one of the strongest physiques, and according to legend, they are ......"
Nan Xiao's body shook when she heard the Ancient Holy Body, and she tried to sit forward, trying to hear what was going on, but Master Qingxuan's voice became lower and lower, and in the end it was almost inaudible.
Venerable Qingxuan didn't seem to be willing to continue to extend on this issue, so he didn't elaborate on those special physiques that were even more powerful than the Immortal Miao.
"Venerable Master, I know the Ancient Holy Body!"
Bao Fei took the case, then glanced back at Nan Xiao, then turned his head and smiled sweetly at Master Qingxuan: "My house is in the Wangxian Market, the dirty girl who bleed just now is a beggar, a natural cheap embryo!" What if his brother was Holy Communion? It's not dead yet! ”
Master Qingxuan didn't stop it, as if conniving at Bao Fei, he said softly: "I haven't been down the mountain for a long time, I don't know much about this, can you tell me about it?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Bao Fei, who was originally quite reserved, was like beating chicken blood, like a chicken pecking rice, and the story he heard in Wangxian Market kept shaking out.
"His brother is the Ancient Holy Body, who was discovered by the Feather God Dynasty and taken away! As a result, his life was cheap, he was useless than a mortal soldier, and he died in a few years! Banyuepo turned his career to sell meat buns, and the second child of the Wang family said it personally! Bao Fei was excited, concise and to the point.
Nan Xiao sat in the corner, a little dazed.
Angry, but she didn't dare to resist, after all, the strength was far from the same.
Ignore it, but she doesn't want her brother to be ridiculed and slandered by others.
I wanted to make a fist, but my hands, which were originally tied with white robes, were still dripping with blood.
Nan Xiao could only sit in place, clenching her teeth, her face pale, and trying her best to keep her senses.
Sitting in the second row, a white and chubby boy laughed out loud and asked, "The second child of the Wang family?" What the hell is this name? ”
"Hey! The eldest of the Wang family was arched to death by a wild boar, so the second eldest of the Wang family was scared and stopped being a butcher, and now he specializes in buying ready-made meat and selling steamed buns instead! Bao Fei replied loudly, she enjoyed the feeling of being supported by everyone.
In order to stir up the atmosphere, Bao Fei continued to paint and depict the tragic situation of Nan Xiao's brother when he died, as if he wanted to drag the unattainable holy body in the mouth of Master Qingxuan off the altar.
The corners of her mouth were wide, her teeth had not yet grown, and her speech was a little leaky.
Bao Fei, who is as crystal clear as morning dew on the outside, is domineering on the inside.
At the beginning of human beings, their nature is inseparable.
Nurture is only part of the determining factor.
Some children who have not yet learned to disguise themselves are born wicked.
At this time, Nan Xiao, who had endured for a long time, was extremely angry.
She couldn't help it!
