Luo Shan bought some dry food in the town, filled the water bag, and left with the little girl, Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and followed. Out of the town, the sky gradually darkened, Lin Yi was tired and hungry, and the money he was carrying had already been searched by the white-eyed wolf, and now he was penniless, with swollen feet and sore legs and hunger along the way.

When they arrived in the wilderness, Luo Shan took the little girl to stop, found a flat land, picked up dry branches, lit them with flints, and lit a bonfire. The little girl took off her poncho and rested on the ground, while Luoshan bent a small tree that was a little long and tied the front end to the waist of the big tree with vines, and cut off many branches, and put leaves on it, and spread hay inside to make a simple shed.

Lin Yi learned the method, painted a scoop according to the gourd not far away, and built a simple shack, barely able to live in people. It's a pity that there is no flint on his body, so he can't make a bonfire, so he can only hide in the tree shed and hug his arms and rely on his body temperature to keep warm.

Noticing his movements, Luo Shan sighed helplessly and beckoned him to come over. Lin Yi walked over tremblingly, feeling uneasy, and waited for Luo Shan to greet him again before he dared to sit down by the fire.

Lin Yi looked at them secretly, the little girl was eating dry food by herself, her cheeks bulging like hamsters, and Luo Shan asked, "Why don't you go back with the official, don't you want your parents?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi was sad, with red eyes, and slowly wrote on the muddy ground with a branch: I don't have a father, I followed my mother when I was a child, my mother was killed by Beiyou officers, and my home is gone.

Luo Shan couldn't help but be stunned, the little girl also stopped talking, looked at each other, her face was full of embarrassment, Luo Shan had no choice but to say: "Good boy, what happened, you tell me slowly." ”

Lin Yi nodded, took the branch and wrote and wiped it on the ground, wiped it and wrote again, and slowly described the experience.

The fire crackled, reflecting the last line of words: I promised my mother that I would find a spirit official to learn art and avenge her and Gong Xu.

Luo Shan's face was serious, and he looked sad, not like a fake, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still shook his head, divided some food, and asked him to go back to rest. Lin Yi was extremely disappointed, begged several times to no avail, and left unwillingly.

When Lin Yi returned to the tree shed, the little girl's eyes rolled down with big tears in her eyes, and she cried: "Woo~~ Beiyou is so hateful, the little brother is so pitiful...... Daddy, you can take him as an apprentice!"

Luo Shan sighed and said: "This kid is bent on revenge, can I really teach him martial arts and let him kill people? ”

"But Daddy ......"

"Don't talk about it, go to bed early after practicing. ”

The two argued again, but the little girl still couldn't resist her father, so she had to compromise, meditate cross-legged under the supervision of Luo Shan, and meditate on qi.

The next day, Luoshan set off early with his daughter, and before he could get out of the two miles, Lin Yi followed him again. Luo Shan felt helpless, so he had to stop him, and said earnestly: "You follow us to eat and sleep, not only can't you learn skills, but you are tired of your body, so it's better to go back." If you don't have it, I can give you some pieces of silver, and you take the money and go home to learn a trade, and you won't starve to death. ”

Lin Yi shook his head and decisively refused.

Luo Shan had no choice but to persuade again: "We are wandering all the way, the four seas are our home, how can we have time to teach you martial arts, why follow us to suffer?"

Lin Yi thought for a while and wrote a line of words on the ground: I'll go back with you.

Luo Shan smiled bitterly and sighed: "Alas, I travel everywhere, and the four seas are my home, where can I go back?"

Lin Yi shook his head, pointed to the little girl's head, Luo Shan looked over in surprise, glanced at his daughter, it was no different from the past, turned around, but saw Lin Yi writing a row of words on the ground: You lie to me, you must go home, and I will follow.

"Why do you say I lied to you?" said Luo Shan with a frown.

Lin Yi wrote: Hair.

Luo Shan was stunned, and the little girl also touched her hair and couldn't understand what she meant.

And again, he wrote: Beautiful.

Luo Shan glanced at his daughter, her hair was indeed very beautiful, soft and smooth, black and dense, but what did this have to do with lying to him? The little girl saw him praising herself, she lowered her head embarrassedly, a little embarrassed, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

Luo Shan didn't know why, and said with a straight face: "Boy, don't pat yourself, it's dangerous in the mountains, go back quickly, if you meet any tigers and bears, I will drag you away in the middle of the night, I don't have time to save people!"

Lin Yi was still determined and followed from afar. The three of them trekked through mountains and rivers, and Luoshan could have left him behind, but in this barren mountains and mountains, there were many snakes and beasts, which was tantamount to sending him to death, so he had to let him go. After a short time, when I reached the foot of the mountain, I met a tea picker on the road, this woman was about 20 years old, with a simple face and yellow hair, as if she was used to working hard in the mountains. Luo Shan asked her for directions, rushed to the east, just walked out of a short distance, stood suddenly, and suddenly realized: hair ...... I see!

If it is a poor family, the child will not be able to eat good food and vegetables since birth, lack nutrition, and his hair will naturally grow dry and yellow. And the little girl has a full face, black hair, and no matter how she looks, she doesn't look like a ranger who sleeps in the open air, so she shows her stuffing and doesn't hide it.

And Luoshan's trip was to take his daughter back from a pilgrimage to the Western Wilderness, and he wanted to return to the Lingguan Mansion, but Lin Yi saw through it at a glance. Looking back at him in surprise, he sighed: "Although this kid is thin, his eyesight is good. ”

At dusk, the silver man is shining. The three of them rested beside the stream, Luo Shan relied on his skills, caught a hare, roasted it with a fire and shared it with the girl, deliberately did not call Lin Yi, wanted to starve him for a few days, so that he could retreat. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi grew up in the Huaijiang River, he was good at fishing and catching shrimp, he went into the water and caught a few big fish, scraped off the fish scales with stone chips, opened the intestines and stomach, washed the internal organs, pierced them with branches, borrowed fire from them, and roasted them leisurely.

On the contrary, the girl didn't fight for her face, and half of the hare couldn't eat enough, so she walked over and rubbed the fish to eat, which made Luo Shan angry and laughed.

After dinner, the little girl went back to meditate and practice, and the bonfire made her face flush. Lin Yi was hearted, and hurriedly sat down cross-legged, learning the same thing, and suddenly heard the little girl ask, "Daddy, why do you have to meditate every morning and evening?"

Luo Shan was stunned, and he didn't know why he asked this question, but he still explained carefully: "Didn't I say it, this is looking for a sense of qi." The so-called external practice, internal practice, people have the three treasures of spirit, energy and spirit. Cultivation is to draw essence from food and elixir, gather true qi in exhalation, and after finding the sense of qi, you can use divine thoughts to manipulate true qi, gather essence and plant it in the dantian, until it takes root and sprouts, bears spiritual roots, and peeks into the path of Xuantong. ”

He said again: "And the essence can nourish qi, luck can refine the gods, and the three treasures are indispensable." ”

The little girl was still puzzled, and pouted: "How can I feel any qi and divine thoughts, why can't I feel it?"

"Didn't you feel it a long time ago?" Luo Shan frowned, thinking to himself what happened to the girl today, how many times have you asked this question, and said patiently: "That's because you haven't calmed down, so the time is not working." Usually, the divine mind is regulating the body, and the true qi is spread throughout the body, and it is impossible to detect it. Only by meditating on zazen and tethering the mind can we slowly comprehend that the so-called thinking is manifest, and the body is quiet, and this is the truth. ”

Lin Yi listened attentively, and suddenly saw the little girl quietly turn around, wink at herself, and suddenly realized: "It turned out that she deliberately said it to me!"

Sensing that his daughter was abnormal, Luo Shan turned his head to look at both sides, why didn't he understand?

I was almost angry with her at this time, and immediately put on a straight face and feigned anger: "Okay, stinky girl, you can turn your elbow out at such a young age, and you can still grow up?"

"Shhhhh......h ”

This night, Luoshan slept very unsteadily, tossing and turning at night, and kept muttering: "My daughter has grown up...... It's going to be outsiders. ”

With the little girl's secret help, Lin Yi gradually touched the threshold, and every time he settled down and restrained his mind, the restlessness in his body slowly converged into a dark energy, walking in all directions, as if he had caught the shadow of qi.

Lin Yi followed them, crossing mountains and mountains during the day, and closing his eyes to practice at night. In the past month, that qi has become clearer and clearer, and it is still half a step away from being manipulated with divine thoughts.

On this day, I arrived at the eastern border of Yunguo, within the boundary of Yongzhou.

To the north of Yongzhou official road, there is a Fulong Mountain, and there is a magnificent mansion at the foot of the mountain, with high walls and deep courtyards, covering an area of 100 acres. Walk along the bluestone road to the door, there are dragon and tiger stone statues sitting on both sides, and there is a Nanmu plaque hanging under the eaves, carving out the three big characters of the Lingguan Mansion, and the bearing is extraordinary.

Since the alliance of the four kings, the Heavenly Book Mansion was created, strange people were recruited, they were named spiritual officials, and they enjoyed the country's wealth, and eight spiritual peaks were set aside for them to cultivate. But in addition to the cultivation of the spirit officials, they also have to help the South Alliance deal with the Immortal Sect. Therefore, most of the time, the spirit officials are at the foot of the mountain, some go to the front line to fight against the Northern Devils, some travel all over the world, looking for fate, and some build a family and a business, and defend one side.

And Luoshan is the latter.

"The master is back!" Seeing Luoshan's return, the guards guarding the door immediately announced loudly, and there was a bustle in the house. In order to apprentice, Lin Yi followed all the way and never gave up. But now that I have arrived at the ground, I am shocked by the momentum when I see the mansion of the wealthy family, and I am suddenly suffocated, and my heart is timid.

Luo Shan and the little girl were embraced by the subordinates, while Lin Yi stood at the door, embarrassed. Just as he hesitated, the little girl suddenly ran again, stood at the door, and shouted at him: "Little brother, after chasing for so long, do you want to give up now?"

Along the way, the little girl helped him in private, and Lin Yi was grateful. was hesitant, but when she shouted like this, she aroused her courage and followed him into the house, and the guards at the door saw that he was familiar with the young lady, so he let him in without hindrance.

Luo Shan asked the family to find a side room and arranged for Lin Yi to stay, while he went to the main hall. He was the lord of a house, and he had been out for a few months, and when he came back, he was busy, and now the housekeeper was holding the account book and accounting to him, explaining the recent running expenses and the income from the fields.

After being busy for a long time, he finally sent the housekeeper away, Luo Shan rubbed his head, feeling a little dizzy, and the maid walked in again and said: "Master, the pilgrimage has been hard, the housekeeper has called the cooks to hold a dinner party in advance, and now the wine and food are ready, waiting for you to enter the table." ”

Luo Shan nodded and ordered, "Tell them, I'll go over immediately...... Ah, wait a minute!" As if remembering something, he took a pen and wrote down a prescription, and said: "Send this prescription to Dr. Sun, let him prescribe some medicine, and send it to the kitchen when he comes back, so that the ladies can boil up." ”

The maid took it respectfully, glanced at it a few times, and asked worriedly, "Master, are you having an uncomfortable throat?" Luo Shan shook his head, "No, the medicine is boiled and sent to the new boy in the guest room." ”

The maid nodded in agreement and walked out the door.
