Chapter 10: The Stone

"Don't rejoice too soon. Chen You, who was sitting on the side, said slowly: "With your qualifications, it took three years to gather Zhenyuan for the first time. At such a speed, I am afraid that before I can be punished by that day, I will die of old age. ”

Li Yu's heart trembled when he heard this, and he asked weakly, "Master, aren't cultivators like me able to prolong our lives?"

"Who said that cultivating the Tao can prolong life? Cultivating the Tao without results is a waste, and not being punished by the Heavenly Dao is even more delusional to live forever. Chenyu on the side interjected.

Chen You waved his hand slightly at Chen Yu, and then said to Li Yu: "It's also because the teacher didn't explain it to you clearly." Only when this cultivation achieves the right results can we attain eternal life. We righteous monks are all human beings. Although human beings are the spirits of all things, and their talents for cultivating the Tao are unique, the Heavenly Way has the laws of nature, and if there is prosperity, there will be decline. The life span of a person, excluding the longevity of the previous life, is only a Jiazi. If you can cultivate to the perfection of the Heaven Breaking Realm, and then resist the punishment of the Heavenly Dao, you can break it and stand up, wash the marrow valve body, and get the life span of two more Jiazi, which is to obtain the positive fruit of the immortals. Your qualifications are extremely poor, and with such a cultivation speed, I am afraid that this one Jiazi is not enough. ”

Li Yu heard Chen You's explanation, only to feel a roar in his head, and repeated Chen You's sentence in his heart, "I'm afraid that this one nail is a little insufficient", as if he was stupid.

Seeing Li Yu like this, Chen You secretly sighed and shook his head gently.

"Brother Yu, don't be afraid, Master once said that there is a treasure medicine in this world that can prolong life. When I have cultivated to a high level, I will help you find it. Qin Huang couldn't see that Li Yu was sad, and said comfortingly.

The senior brothers were also comforted by your words, but Li Yu seemed to be hit hard, and remained silent.

"Daddy, why do we have to wait for the heavenly punishment to get the immortal fruit rank and increase the lifespan?" Yunxiao asked Chen You.

"All living beings are under the way of heaven. Heaven has the law of reincarnation, and all living beings need reincarnation, so that you and I all have a destiny. But there is also a law of detachment in the way of heaven, and there is a way out for everything. If we take the essence of heaven and earth to refine ourselves, and if we violate the law of nature, the way of heaven will punish us. Under the punishment of heaven, there is no one in ten, those who survive will have life, and those who do not survive will be reincarnated. Chen You replied with a smile.

"Then I heard from my mother that you will be punished by that day in these two years. Wouldn't you ...... then," Yunxiao couldn't help but worry when he heard this.

"Yes, Master Master, this heavenly punishment is so dangerous, can you be sure?" Qin Huang couldn't help but ask.

Everyone was immediately attracted by Qin Huang's words, and they were all worried about Chenyou.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. This real person has excellent talents, a deep Taoist foundation, and has a complete realm at a young age, so he is not afraid of the punishment of heaven. Besides, I'm also the head of a faction, how dare I cultivate without any background. Chen You smiled, suddenly felt that his words were inappropriate, and looked at Li Yu.

It's just that Li Yu seemed to be lost at the moment, and suddenly felt that Chen You was coming, so he bowed and gave a salute, turned around and left the small courtyard silently.

Everyone paid attention to Chen You, and they didn't notice Li Yu's departure, only Chen You sighed alone.

Li Yu, who left the small courtyard, walked in a daze, and before he knew it, he came to the mountain spring pool behind the courtyard to get water.

I don't know when this pool was built. Along the spring, a small pond was built with bluestone in a low-lying area. The edge of the pool is mottled with moss, the water is crystal clear, and pebbles are all over the bottom of the pool. There is a large stone standing next to the pool, and the word "Reflecting Star Pool" is engraved on the stone.

Li Yuyi sat on the edge of the pool, looking at the slowly setting sunset, his heart became more and more sad, and he couldn't help but recall the scene when he went up the mountain.

When he went up the mountain to seek the Tao, Li Yu never thought too much. I just listened to the village mouth storyteller talk about the benefits of cultivation, how amazing it is. There is also the Tao that one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. With the desire to learn the Tao and benefit the mountain village, he knocked on the mountain gate again and again, and was turned away again and again.

Although he finally entered the sect by mistake, because of his poor qualifications, he was not valued by the elders of the sect. Although he has never given up, he has been practicing hard day and night for three years, but the result is so unbearable. He was even told that he would never be able to get that positive result after spending his whole life. Now it seems that little wish back then may not be fulfilled. Li Yu thought of Qin Huang, perhaps, his wish could only be fulfilled by Qin Huang for him.

But if that's the case, what else can I do to cultivate the Dao? Since my qualifications are so poor, and I don't have any reason to practice, can I just give up? Go down the mountain and become an ordinary villager again, chopping firewood and farming every day, and spend the rest of my life in a muddy way? Thinking of this, Li Yu couldn't help but fall into confusion.

The sun finally set its last rays, and the sky was swallowed up by the darkness. The cold air of the night refreshes the bone marrow, and the cold people's hearts are frosted.

Li Yu looked up at the inky sky, and shouted in his heart that heaven was unfair. Abandoned by his parents in the wilderness since he was a child, he is not like the children in the village who have a father and a mother, and live a carefree life. It is rare to have a chance to enter the door, and the people around him are each the dragon and phoenix among themselves, and they only seem to be like the broom in the corner, useless. The hard work of perseverance has resulted in such a result. Is his life so unbearable? Doesn't it mean that Heaven rewards hard work? Where is Heaven Heaven?!

Li Yu's hands were clenched into fists, his nails pierced his palms and embedded in the flesh, oozing blood, but he didn't realize it, just stared at the night sky, as if he wanted to ask for an explanation from the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, the dark sky revealed a little starlight, which was still dotted at first, but in an instant, it was already full of stars, and the light was brilliant.

After three years of perseverance, Li Yu has been practicing behind closed doors every night since he went up the mountain, so that he has never seen this beautiful starry sky, and for a while, he was faintly stupid.

Li Yu watched in a daze as the vast galaxy and stars moved around, and the meteors were fleeting in an instant. The tense body couldn't help but relax, and the bit of anger in my heart seemed to be slowly melted by this beautiful night sky.

The stars shine like the Milky Way falling down. Under the starlight, this star-reflecting pool is like a reflection, and it also emits a pool of starlight, and the water in this pool is sparkling, it is like a dream.

Li Yu was very surprised, and suddenly remembered that when he first started, the senior brother said that this pool was strange. Cooking and laundry, drinking and water are all during the day, and I have never seen such a scene.

Li Yu was curious and looked carefully, only to see that the water of this pool was translucent, and the pebbles at the bottom of the water were shining with a glowing glow, and the starlight of the pool turned out to be emitted by these pebbles, making this pool like a reflection of the Milky Way, which was extremely magical.

Li Yu was looking at it in amazement, and suddenly saw that the star stones in the pond were shining, but only one stone was dim. I can't help but feel that I am like this stone, surrounded by stars, showing my ordinariness.

Li Yu stretched out his hand to the bottom of the pool, and fished out the stone to take a look, amorphous and non-jade, Uri Wu Tu, and felt like himself, like a mortal dust in the world.

If you look closely, the stone is not as smooth as the pebbles in the pool, and it is angular and angular. Li Yu only felt that this was a mortal stone puppet that had fallen into the star pool, just like himself, and he was incompatible with this cultivation world.

Li Yu held the stone tightly, the sharp edges and corners of the stone stabbed the wound in the palm, and the flesh that was originally punctured by the nails oozed a little bit of blood, staining the stone. It's just that in Li Yu's hands, which Li Yu couldn't see, the stone was like a sponge, sucking all the blood into it.

Li Yu only felt a slight pain in his palm, and spread his hand. The black stone lay quietly in his hand, and the more Li Yu looked at it, the more he felt that this stone was like himself, and he was about to throw it back into the pool, but his raised fist suddenly stopped in the air.

Look at the gurgling water, and see the pebbles that have been washed so smoothly by the water. In an instant, it was as if something had broken open from the bottom of my heart.

Li Yu slowly put down the hand holding the stone, re-examined the ordinary stone, and said leisurely: "Although you are a stubborn stone, you are not worried about the destiny of heaven, and you are a mountain stone but you want to jump into the star pool. Although it is mortal dust, this pool of water cannot erase your edges and corners. Since you are like me, I will be like you. Cultivation is bumpy, I can't retreat from my intention to practice the Tao, and although the destiny of heaven is hard, it can't stop me from cultivating the true heart. Don't ask why you have entered the true path, and call me to refine the Dao heart!" Li Yu said louder and louder, but the meaning in his eyes became more and more firm.

After speaking, Li Yu ripped off the twine on his cuffs, tied it with a black stone, and wore it on his chest.

It's just that Li Yu took Shi Mingzhi this time, but he didn't know that he would embark on a road of no return from now on.

Star-picking faction courtyard, in the east house. Chenyou Zhenren is walking back and forth with his hands behind his back at the moment.

Seeing this, the Chenyu Daoist who was sitting next to him said, "Husband, but are you worried about the punishment that day?"

Chen You sighed, sat down and said, "Seeing that the punishment of heaven is approaching, although I have been prepared for a long time, I have calculated for a long time, and I always feel that it is still not safe enough. ”

"Oh, what are the plans of the husband?" asked Chenyu.

"This day is punished with thunder and quenching the body, which is extremely dangerous. Although I went to the Baicao Valley Divine Pill Gate last time, I asked Hu Zhongxian for a talisman golden pill. But the old boy said that although Jin Dan was good, it was not perfect. I thought about it, and I guess I still need a talisman to be stable enough. ”

"This ......" Chen Yu thought for a moment and said, "Husband, it's better to take all the treasures in that sect and exchange them for treasures." ”

Hearing this, Chen You shook his head and said, "How can I do that." These treasures in the sect were obtained by the ancestors of the past generations, and they were hidden in the sect in case of emergency. How can I appropriate. ”

Chenyu smiled: "Isn't it time now?" You are the hope of our faction, and these treasures are not right to use at this time. Presumably, the ancestors of the past generations have spirits and also agree. ”

"This ......" Chen You hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then where can I exchange it for a talisman magic weapon?" This treasure that can withstand the punishment of the heavens is something that the Heaven Breaking Realm Consummation Cultivators urgently need, and I am afraid that it is very rare. My golden pill was also exchanged for Hu Zhongxian's drunkard after taking Master's bottle of 'intoxicating heart liquid'. ”

Chenyu smiled when she heard this: "Husband, have you forgotten that place?" ”

Chen You suddenly woke up and said, "You mean Duobao Mountain Linlang Pavilion?"
