Volume 1 from the beginning to the ninth chapter gossip
"Let's all go back."
The village chief stroked his sleeves and said to the villagers guarding the entrance of the village, this world is like this, if you want to live comfortably, someone must pay and protect it. The procession into the mountain disappeared from view, crossed the pontoon bridge built on the Huai River, and entered the Tianmai Mountain, where the song came from afar, soothing the hearts of the family.
Li Qingshan stood at the entrance of the village with everyone, looking at the rolling mountains in front of him, and had a faint feeling of yearning for this world in his heart. Jiu Lao Village is not big, but what he sees and hears subverts his cognition again and again, the humanoid creature that is like a hill, the ghost owl who cries like a ghost, and the exercises that the village chief said, the breathing method that can increase qi and nourish the body through breathing, are all existences that make them yearn for and explore.
Walking on the cobblestone path, the villagers who have already packed up their mood are busy with their own things, going to the fields, washing clothes, slaughtering livestock, life is carried out in an orderly manner, of course, there are always some seasonings in life, and the naughty child is run away by the mother with a broom, crying that I don't dare next time, don't dare, this is spared. Li Qingshan's state of mind has never been at peace in the world, and at the same time, he has a little understanding, people always live for the sake of living, without the drive of greed and interests, a simple and simple life is the most comfortable way for people.
Li Fengxian, the head of the village, walked in front, with his hands behind his back, and from time to time stomped on the uneven road with the soles of his shoes, where half-grown children often ran around, and when they were playing and playing, someone was always tripping and falling, not to mention, and his body was always blue and purple.
Li Qingshan followed behind him, like a model, seeing that there was a bulge on the road, he also followed up and stepped on it, but after a while, he was deflated, these pebble piles on the ground were very tight, and he stepped on it hard but did not move, and the soles of his feet were also painful.
Sensing that Li Qingshan was behind him, when he turned around, he saw him pouting, sitting on the ground rubbing the soles of his feet, with a painful look on his face, the village chief chuckled and shook his head, and then asked, "Child, are you willing to refine qi?" ”
"Grandpa, are you talking about a Qi Refiner?"
Li Qingshan's spirits perked up, and there was some surprise in his heart, if it was true, the monks in the world would be of the same origin and would definitely be able to find his way home.
"You know the Qi Refiner?" The village chief was also interested at this time, and wanted to hear what Li Qingshan said.
Regarding the pre-Qin Qi Refiners, they are still a mysterious existence, and what Li Qingshan knows is only a few strokes recorded in the book, and he does not introduce them too much, but just said that they are different from the traditional Taoist monks, who major in Qi Refining, essence, qi, and spirit, do not behead the three corpses, preach the Tao with themselves, do not think about the past and the future, and only cultivate the present life.
Li Qingshan shook his head and said, "I have seen some words in the book, the time for the appearance of the Qi Refiners is extremely short, I don't know the origin, and no one knows where they are going. ”
The village chief nodded, he knew that Li Qingshan was originally in a world with poor spiritual energy, and the current monks were only mortals in the flesh, and those who were over 100 years old were at most long-lived, even if there were real monks, the longevity was only three hundred years, and as for the traces left, they had long been worn out by the years.
"Come with me."
After the village chief finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and continued to walk, Li Qingshan followed behind him, going in the direction of the ancestral ancestral hall.
The Nine Domains Human Race, except for the natural gods, all children who have reached the age of ten must go through a dust washing ceremony, borrowing the treasures of heaven and earth and the essence and blood of fierce birds and beasts to transform their bodies from the inside out, so as to truly embark on the path of cultivation, but before that, they need to practice breathing and physical techniques to improve their physique, otherwise it will be difficult to withstand the impact of foreign objects on the body. However, even if they are successful in practicing breathing and physical arts, there are still many children who can't bear it every year, resulting in heavy damage to their internal organs and a disease that is difficult to cure for a lifetime.
In the ancestral hall, several teenagers from Fat Tiger, Sanwa, and Jiang Shixing sat cross-legged in front of the ancestral tablet, their eyes slightly closed, and their breathing was deep or light. At the age of about 10, it is the time to play with the heart, and it is difficult to calm down and practice.
"Well, open your eyes."
"Grandpa the village chief, we were wrong."
Hearing the sigh of the village chief, the children opened their eyes one after another, the breathing method was too difficult for them to cultivate, and they couldn't comprehend the true meaning at all, so they drooped their little heads, waiting to be taught.
The village chief did not blame it, it was indeed not easy for children of this age to control the breathing method in a short period of time. Sitting on the bamboo bench brought by Jiang Shixing, he said in a gentle tone: "Children, do you know the difference between a natural god and a mortal body? ”
The teenagers shook their heads for a while, their eyes wandered, and their faces showed a hesitant look, the miracle of Yu Cun Yu Yin and Yang on the altar of the god is still imprinted in their hearts, and since then, their mood has also changed, and they are more in awe of these natural gods.
The village chief looked at the children's demeanor, knowing that their mood had been affected, so he got up and walked past each child, the story will be told once a year, including their parents, Li Fengxian wants to plant a seed of a strong heart in their hearts.
"The so-called god man is born to be convenient for blind dates, and when conceived in the mother's body, he is nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, takes off the mortal womb, reshapes the root bones, and the body is like an ethereal spirit. After birth, Qianbai Dao blended with it, and endowed it with supernatural powers to inject it into the sea of knowledge, helping it awaken in its growth. ”
"Isn't this the chosen one, who came into the world for cultivation."
Li Qingshan smacked his tongue secretly, and a sense of frustration pierced his heart, growing up with this kind of person is destined to be suppressed for the rest of his life.
Without waiting for the village chief to finish speaking, Li Qingshan noticed that the fat tiger sitting on the group shop, the three babies and a few people, their eyes were obviously dim, but in an instant, they all looked stubborn, waiting for the next with their heads held high, and their hearts were full of unwillingness.
The village chief smiled, and the changes of the children were fully visible, and then continued: "The vast majority of the monks in the Nine Domains are mortal bodies, even those innate gods who worship under the Immortal Sect Holy Land are only a handful, and most of the people who have preached the Tao throughout the ages are mortals like you and me, do you know ......why?"
The village chief paused, with a kind face, looked at the teenagers who had regained some of their strength, and asked rhetorically.
"Like the first human emperor, there is invincible faith!" Jiang Shixing stood up, clenched his fists, and said loudly.
The deeds of the first generation of human emperors have been widely spread by the human race of the Nine Domains, from a weak mortal, rising in troubled times, and finally attaining the supreme avenue, the tribulations experienced in it, ordinary people may not be able to experience it in the end, but his invincible will infects and inspires every monk.
"Under the avenue, all beings are equal. The gods are extremely talented, and they can be said to have no bottleneck in their cultivation, although they are advancing all the way, but they also bury hidden dangers for them, and the heavens and the earth are born and born, and the mentality is naturally higher than others, if they are frustrated, they are often unstable in their hearts, and their cultivation is stagnant. ”
"And ordinary monks, from the beginning of the practice, all the way to the difficult, the practice of breathing and the resonance of the five organs, the body bears the pain of lightning strikes, so that the root bones are transformed, the meridians are stretched, when washing the dust, the big medicine enters the body, like a fierce beast in the body, it is even more painful, so every step is to temper the mind, for a long time, the foundation is deep, and the heart of the Tao is unswerving."
After the village chief finished speaking, he helped the beard to sit down, and let the children experience the meaning of the conversation on their own.
