Time flies, and five years have passed in a blink of an eye. Five years, Ling Li has become a personable young man, not as pompous as the vast majority of his peers, but his eyes reveal the light of wisdom, these five years, idle to take some classics to watch, no matter what type, like a sponge, constantly absorbing knowledge. When he entered the sect as a child, Wu Weizi simply taught him to read and write, and he didn't know anything about Confucianism, so he took this opportunity to make up for the shortcomings of the past.

There are many books on the market, and they are intoxicated and happy, sitting in the medicine hall every day, drinking tea and reading books, but they are very happy.

For the matter of absorbing Lei Wei, Ling Li also put aside for the time being, and his heart has not yet healed, and he has not yet healed from the heavy damage to his heart, and for the invasion of Lei Yun's heart demons five years ago, now that he thinks about it, Ling Li is still palpitating. There is no elixir, no mana to open the furnace for alchemy, and there is no elixir, so Ling Li has to drink some nourishing tea every day to slowly nourish the Yuan Shen, and the progress is very slow.

Fortunately, there is no great danger in the mortal world, and the people of Lin'an City are quite simple, and there are few traitors. Compared with the hardships and tensions of cultivation, the ordinary life is calm without a single ripple, and his mentality is not like a young man in his prime, but like a dim old man.

"This peace and nature in the mortal dust, it is rare to stop and rest on the path of cultivation, which shows that this way of mental cultivation also has its own uniqueness. If you want to gain a foothold in the cultivation realm, how can you be inert, but for a long time, the monk's mind is always in a state of exhaustion and tension, and there are too many disadvantages for cultivation. And the way of heart refining is too demanding, Hongchen enlightens the Tao, walks the world, and enters the mortal dust, in which the tense mind is naturally slowly relaxed, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to suspend practice. Everything has pros and cons, and everything is relative. Ling Li said thoughtfully.

"What are you muttering again?" Wan'er's voice suddenly sounded behind Ling Li.

"You're eavesdropping on me again. "Ling Li didn't have a good airway.

For five years, Xie Ling has been with Ling Li in the medicine hall for five years, Xie Ling at this time is slim and beautiful, and most women of the same age are married to women of her age, but Xie Ling has always been quietly accompanying Ling Li in this medicine hall. Ling Li sometimes thought about it, and his heart was moved, but when he thought of the boundaries of the monk's mortals, he couldn't help but sigh, and he still hadn't made any decisions.

He didn't know if he should take her on this path of cultivation that even he was confused about. If she is a hundred years old, and finally she turns into a bowl of loess, but she will suffer for a lifetime, he is unwilling!

"Ling'er. Ling Li sighed in his heart and called softly.

"Why are you sad? Xie Ling said teasingly.

"In the past few years, I've suffered you. ”

Xie Ling was silent instantly, it had been five years, and Ling Li had never said such a thing to himself in these five years.

"What's wrong with you today?" Xie Ling looked at Ling Li worriedly.

"It's nothing, it's just a lot of thoughts, and I know how long five years is for a woman. I've never promised you anything, it's just that I have my own struggles. Ling Li's face was helpless, and the bitterness was self-evident.

"I know. Xie Ling smiled and comforted.

"You know?"

Xie Lingzhen nodded his head and said stupidly, "I know, you have me in your heart, even if you have never shown anything to me in the past five years. ”

Ling Li's face turned red, and he bowed his head and was silent.

"Presumably you also have your story, your concerns, I don't ask you about your past, what kind of person you are, what you do, just like you never asked me about the entanglement between me and King Xie An. All I know is that I am willing to wait for you. Xie Ling's eyes were firm, looking at Ling Li.

"It's only five years, and there's another five, ten years ahead. I wait for the moment you promised me. ”

Ling Li's heart stirred, such a woman, what else do she have to worry about.

"Sometimes you will talk to yourself about things that I don't understand, what cultivation, what foundation building, mental refinement, and so on, and then I know that you are a mysterious person, and you must have had a completely different life experience than mine. However, I have no regrets, I am willing to wait. Xie Ling's eyes were complicated, and he said sadly.

As soon as these words came out, Ling Li's eyes lit up, and he sank a little, his eyes showed a strange color, he looked at Xie Ling, and said slowly, "You, do you want to know what cultivation is?"

When Xie Ling heard this, he was silent for a while, and then nodded violently and said, "Yes!"

Ling Li pulled Xie Ling into his side, motioned for him to sit down, and after the beauty sat down, Ling Li looked into the distance, and slowly said, "What is the husband? The vitality of the Tao is born from all things, the size of heaven and earth, all of which are born from the Tao, the system of nothingness, the root of creation, the foundation of the gods, and the element of heaven and earth. In heaven and earth, there is a type of people who are looking for one of the ways of this 'Dao' and want to explore the origin of the Heavenly Dao. In the enlightenment, we have a limited lifespan, and often disappear before we have understood it thoroughly, and then some people create exercises, first cultivate their own bodies, and at the same time understand the mysteries of heaven and earth, and in this way, countless years have passed, and this immortal life is born. Most of the monks nowadays are seeking immortality and enlightenment, which is no longer the goal we are seeking. This is the monk, and I am one of them. ”

Xie Ling covered his mouth lightly, his eyes showing shock.

Ling Li saw Xie Ling's expression and smiled bitterly, "I knew you had this reaction." ”

Xie Ling's eyes were extremely complicated, he lowered his head and was silent, for a long time, he raised his head, and asked in a whisper, "Then you... How old is it now?"

Ling Li didn't know why Xie Ling asked this, and said blankly, "I started at the age of six, cultivated for nine years, and now I have been here in Lin'an for five years, exactly twenty." ”

"That's good. Xie Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought I liked that hundred-year-old monster." After saying that, he playfully stuck out his tongue.

“。。。 Ling Li opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, this woman is really unpredictable, and she became curious in this regard.

"But I still don't understand what you're saying. Xie Ling said helplessly, listening to the clouds and fogging.

Ling Li sighed slightly, and said abruptly, "I don't understand either, what is Tao." I only know that I am now called monasticism, but I don't even understand what the Tao is. He shook his head and sighed.

"Now I have been training in Hongchen for a hundred years, and I will go back in a hundred years. Ling Li looked at Xie Lingdao.

"A hundred years ... Xie Ling kept twisting his shirt at the hem of his skirt and muttered.

"That, are you willing to cultivate, accompany... Stay with me. Ling Li said more and more vaguely at the end.

Xie Ling was shocked, raised his head, stared at Ling Li, and said, "What did you say?"

"Nope. It's nothing. Ling Li's face turned crimson, up to his neck.

Xie Lingxi smiled and said, "You are a flute, what are you shy about?" ”

Ling Li didn't speak, his face was tilted to the side, his eyes wandered around, and his heart was pounding.

"But what if I don't know how to cultivate. Xie Ling's aggrieved voice sounded.

"I'll teach you!" Ling Li immediately looked back, but looked at Xie Ling and saw the sly smile in her eyes, Ling Li was embarrassed.

"Okay, you little girl, tease me!"

In the autumn in the afternoon, the leaves are colorful, and the sound of laughter in the pavilions is continuous, and it seems that the gloom of this autumn is not so strong.

Since then, in addition to drinking tea and reading books every day, Ling Li has taught Xie Ling to cultivate. There are countless Taoism in Ling Li's heart, and there are many exercises suitable for women, so he chose a copy of the "Five Mysterious Methods" and handed it to Xie Ling, and solved his doubts every day. These five mystical methods, external cultivation of eyes, ears, mouth, nose and tongue, heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, internal cultivation of spiritual knowledge and sensitivity, this exercise is Ling Li for its carefully selected volume, Xie Ling cultivation is late, the meridian toughness is insufficient, fortunately in its martial arts in the body, the main veins are smooth, these five mystical methods are to cultivate the body, wait for Xie Ling to practice for a period of time, the hundred veins are integrated, and then let him choose his favorite exercises.

Xie Lingchu touched Xiuzhen, full of interest, and asked this and that in Ling Li's ear all day long, Ling Li did not tire of it, answering and explaining one by one. There is no need to hide it in front of her, and Ling Li's heart is a lot more relaxed.

Xie Ling's root bones are still acceptable, much better than before Ling Li reshaped the root bones, in just over a month, he actually felt the sense of qi, and stepped into the qi induction period, and now the cultivation realm is roughly divided into qi induction, line qi, gathering qi, building the foundation, knotting Dan, Yuan Ying, distraction, merger, Mahayana These realms, but Ling Li learned in the Dao system of killing that it seems that the ancient cultivation realm is not so divided into realms, and it is very vague about this, and there is no specific realm.

In any case, Xie Lingyue entered the Qi Induction Period, which made Ling Li very happy, and secretly determined, "The road to cultivation is vast, although I am also pondering, but I must protect Ling'er thoroughly." Don't let it hurt in the slightest. ”
