Donglin Town is also a big town. There are more than a dozen streets horizontally and vertically, square. Most of the people living in the town are officials, businessmen and people from the rivers and lakes, and there are many mountain villages on the edge of the town, and the official roads are well repaired, so the economy is also prosperous. When the market is rushed, the town is even more lively.

On this day, Bai Ming and Dugu Ni went to the market to buy vegetables. There were still many beggars in the market, and Dugu Nie took the copper plate given by Bai Ming, and when he saw a beggar, he went to give ten. Last year, when he went to Bai Ming's house to live, Bai Ming taught Dugu Ni to give alms, and at that time, he only gave one copper plate each time, and Dugu Nirvana was also very happy. This time, Bai Ming probably thought of accumulating more virtue for Dugu Nie, so he gave more.

Walking up to an old woman who sells vegetables, I saw that the old woman was very rickety, and her movements were not very neat, so she took out the cabbage from the back basket one by one. Dugu Nie was suddenly afraid that this old grandmother would die. After experiencing the incident of the spiritual gate, Dugu Nirvana became very afraid of death, and he was also very afraid of the death of others. As soon as his nose was sour, Dugu Ni took the remaining dozens of copper coins, walked up to the grandmother, took the grandmother's hand, and put all the copper coins in the grandmother's hand.

The old woman asked, "Brother, do you want to buy any food? ”

Dugu Nien said: "No, it's not to buy vegetables, it's for you!" He didn't know how to say it for a while, why did he give the old grandmother a copper plate for no reason, and the old woman is not a beggar!

Bai Ming walked over and said, "Old man, this child is looking at your hard work and wants you to eat something good and nourish your body." Dugu Ni nodded seriously.

The old grandmother showed a kind smile on her wrinkled face, and said, "Thank you, brother, God bless you, and you will be admitted to the Xian Academy in the future!"

Dugu Ni knows that the Xian Academy is in the imperial city, and if you study the Xian Academy, you will have the opportunity to become a big official, which is a good way out for everyone in the family. smiled and thanked the old grandmother. But the thought of people becoming so old and so pitiful in my mind lingers in that sadness.

I remembered that I once saw an old man scavenging in Fuying Town, who went to buy a roasted sweet potato, but when he turned around, he found that the thief had stolen his money, and the old man was even reluctant to throw away the sweet potato, so he hugged the roasted sweet potato with his shirt and chased the thief who ran fast. While chasing, he shouted "Thief, catch the thief!" Dugu Nie wanted to help the old man chase at that time, but he also knew that he would definitely not be able to catch up, and his father and mother were the least willing to meddle in their own affairs.

I don't know if the old man chased the thief in the end, and Dugu Ni didn't understand, the old man who was scavenging was so poor, why he was reluctant to roast sweet potatoes when the money was stolen, and what about his family? When he thought of this, Dugu Ni felt very sour in his heart. I don't understand why there are bad people in this world.

Every time I see stray cats and dogs on the street, Dugu Nie will also feel that they are very pitiful, and from time to time will quietly bring some food from home to feed, Dugu Nie told her mother if she can adopt these cats and dogs. Mother scolded you for not being able to support yourself, and you are going to raise other animals, don't even think about it.

Thinking all the way, he had already returned home, made lunch with Bai Ming, packed some food into the lunch box, and Dugu Ni ran to Lancao Mountain to find Qu Liu. He remembered that every day, Qu Liu would go to the mountains to cultivate. Qu Liu said that the aura in the mountains should be sufficient.

On a small hillside, Qu Liu slowly opened his eyes and sighed: "Hey, really can't you break through?"

"Uncle!"

"Here we go!"

Dugu Nie ran out of breath, put the lunch box on the ground, and threw herself into her uncle's arms.

Qu Liu was not in a hurry to eat, and asked, "I have to go to school in a few days, are you happy?"

"Haha, happy, is it fun to go to school?"

"School is not for fun, it's for knowledge. ”

"What do you do with knowledge?"

"After learning knowledge, I know how I want to live my life. ”

"Then how am I supposed to live my life?"

"If you let your uncle say, he only wants you to be able to support yourself in the future, to be able to do what you love, to contribute to the world. But what path you will choose is up to you. ”

"My father and mother said that I would be a big official in the future!"

"Do you like to be a big official?"

"I don't know. ”

"You'll find out one day. ”

"Uncle!" Dugu Nie suddenly looked at Qu Liu seriously and asked a question: "Will I die?"

"People die. ”

"When am I going to die?"

"The average person lives to be about 100 years old at most, and then he is going to die. If it is a martial arts cultivator, there are also people who can live to be one hundred and forty or fifty years old. If you are a person who cultivates the Immortal Dao, once you have cultivated, you may be able to live longer. ”

"I'm afraid of death! I don't want to die!" Dugu Nie buried his head, and it could be seen that the events of that day still had a great impact on him.

"Everyone dies, but you are still a long, long time away from death. ”

"I'm still afraid, just like that day, before I get old, I'm going to die!"

"If you want to grow old safely, you have to have strength and wisdom!"

Dugu Nirvana didn't seem to understand, and asked again: "Uncle, will you die too?"

"Haha, of course. After Qu Liu finished speaking, he saw Dugu Nirvana's tears left again. comforted: "Silly boy, my uncle will still die for a long, long time, but my uncle is a cultivator." ”

"Then I'm going to cultivate the Tao too. ”

"What kind of Tao do you want to cultivate?"

"Do you still want to choose?"

"In this world, there are so many choices, you can be comprehended in every corner of life, and find your own way, such as: music, chess, books, paintings, songs, wine, flowers, tea, medicine, poison, fishing, hunting, sewing, casting, crafts, business gambling and so on.

As for the later influx of the Western Kingdom's cultivation of the Immortal Dao into the Eastern Kingdom, the talented people in the human world have also successively created various cultivation methods, such as martial arts, immortal cultivation, spiritual cultivation, life cultivation, heart cultivation, demon cultivation, etc., this world has become splendid. In the western country, there are many more unheard of cultivation methods! However, martial arts are still the foundation, and it is also a cultivation method with the most and most complete cultivation methods, which can stand on the shoulders of predecessors and avoid taking a lot of unjust paths! For example, the immortal path cultivated by my uncle is still in the stage of hard exploration, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough!"

"Can my uncle cultivate the Dao of Immortals?

"Haha, that's just a legend, but the immortal path is a great achievement, and it can indeed prolong life, and the sword flies into the air!"

"Then uncle, can I cultivate the Immortal Dao?"

"Why do you want to cultivate the Immortal Dao?"

"Because I want to live a little longer. ”

"What else?"

"I want the people around me to live longer! I want to protect them!"

Qu Liu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Nirvana, my uncle's own immortal path has not yet been cultivated, this road is too lonely and too difficult, maybe my uncle has not yet learned the law, and there is no way to teach you." If you want to cultivate the Tao, my uncle suggested that you can practice martial arts, this is a visible way out, and it is not easy to deviate! The East Linmin Academy will teach the introduction to martial arts, and my uncle also learned it back then! Eight basic martial arts, easy to learn but difficult to master, when you learn in the future, don't underestimate these introductory martial arts. If you can understand it with your heart, these martial arts can also give you the ability to protect yourself and your family!"

"Okay, I remember!"

"If you have the opportunity in the future, you can also go to Qingxu Town to find the Snow Shadow Sword Sect, if you can worship this sect, it will also be a good place to study!"

"Qingxu Town, Snow Shadow Sword Sect, it seems far away, will my father and mother agree?"

"Haha, then you'll have to figure it out yourself. As long as you keep thinking, it is possible to think of a way. ”

"Snow Shadow Sword Sect, is that the most powerful sect?"

"There is no such thing as the most powerful sect, but that sect may be more suitable for you. ”

"Why?"

"There are two qi of yin and yang in the human body, and in your body, the pure yin qi is thicker than the pure yang qi, in this case, the internal force of cultivating the ice vein will be smoother. And the martial arts of the Snow Shadow Sword Sect just happened to be the martial arts of the Ice Vein. ”

"Oh, then uncle, can you teach me martial arts first?"

"Haha, my uncle's martial arts cultivation is so-so, what can be taught to you, that is, what Donglin Minxue can teach you, you can learn it in a few days, don't worry!"

"Uncle will teach me first, I want to learn now, okay?" Dugu Nie pulled his uncle's arm and shook it, this trick still had some effect on his uncle.

couldn't stand Dugu Nirvana's pleading, Qu Liu had no choice but to agree: "Okay, you absorb the aura of heaven and earth for a while, and my uncle will teach you after eating!"

"Okay!" Dugu Nie jumped up happily and began to meditate. His current pranayama is not a martial arts cultivator, and he runs the yin and yang qi in his body to travel around the meridians of his body. It is simply the absorption of the aura of heaven and earth, which is of some benefit to the refining of the body.

In fact, last year Dugu Nirvana wanted to learn, but Qu Liu's never agreed, saying that he should first learn the truth of being a man, and then learn martial arts, so as not to cause trouble.

After a few days, Dugu Nirvana had memorized the cultivation method of internal strength-holding martial strength and light strength-Yue Wubu. Although this is the entry-level martial arts of the Tianwu Kingdom, as Qu Liu said, these two martial arts are also easy to learn and difficult to master, and if you really want to learn Dacheng, it is no less than the martial arts of some sects.

Qu Liu is also not good at the internal strength of the ice vein, but if Dugu Ni reaches the Snow Shadow Sword Sect in the future, he will naturally be able to learn an ice vein-grade internal skill: Snow Tide. Of course, it also depends on whether Dugu Nirvana has this opportunity.

These days, Dugu Nie and his uncle insist on the absorption of the aura of heaven and earth in Lancao Mountain, and are familiar with the mental method of holding martial arts and Yue Wubu, of course, more to learn some principles of living in the world.

Speaking of which, Dugu Nie's perception of the aura of heaven and earth is actually quite talented, Qu Liu's teaching him for two or three months last year, this child is already able to perceive and absorb aura. However, the perception of his own yin and yang qi is not in the way. After a few days, the footwork can already be practiced, but the martial arts have not yet crossed the threshold, but the child is still quite diligent, or maybe the freshness is at this time, and he has not given up. In fact, Dugu Nirvana was really afraid of death, and turned her fear of death into a driving force for cultivation.

Qu Liu is not in a hurry, and believes that the teaching method of the Minxue School may be more comprehensive, which can help Dugu Nirvana perceive the two qi of yin and yang.
