Chapter 21: Quiet
Fang Cheng sat in front of the door and slept all night with himself in his arms.
At that hour, a bell rang from Xijian Peak.
Fang Cheng opened his eyes in a daze and woke up from his sleep.
Looking at the children of the same age as himself appearing one after another on the mountain road in the distance, Fang Cheng, who had just woken up, was a little confused.
On the mountain path, children scrambled to the bottom of the mountain.
"Oh, don't push me! I'll go!"
"Big brother, slow down!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, grind and chirp, why don't you run as fast as those girls just now!"
......
The originally quiet mountain road has become lively.
In the crowd, a girl leaned against the rocky mountain wall and slowly descended the mountain. The girl looked over to the stone bridge and noticed a black figure at the door of the tiled house.
This tiled house has always been unoccupied, why is there a figure at the door today? The girl was a little puzzled.
Since she was sent by her family to Qingyun Sect to practice immortal methods, the girl began to believe that there are ghosts and monsters in this world, and a few days ago she also heard that there was a boy in the Sword Washing Hall who got up in the middle of the night to pee and saw the green fire in the mountains and forests, and he was so frightened that he held back his urine.
Looking at the black figure, the girl mustered up her courage, stepped on the stone bridge, and walked over.
Through the hazy white fog, the girl vaguely saw that the black image at the door of the tiled house was a person.
The girl was frightened by this discovery, and stopped by the stone bridge arch with her hand in her hand.
Did you hit a ghost yourself today?
The girl gritted her teeth, as if she had made a decision, crouched down, picked up a piece of gravel on the ground, and threw it over.
"Oops!" Fang Cheng instantly sobered up.
"Ahh
Fang Cheng was also startled by this scream, and after listening closely, he found that it was a strange girl's voice.
Holding his forehead, which had just been hit in some pain, Fang Cheng got up and walked to the stone bridge.
The girl closed her eyes in fright as she saw the black figure of the human figure getting closer and closer, and her fingers turned white with the force on the arch railing.
Fang Cheng took a closer look, it was a girl with short hair, and because of the white fog, her appearance was a little unclear.
"Uh... What are you doing here" Fang Cheng looked at the strange girl who was a little scared with her eyes closed, and didn't know how to speak.
The girl, who closed her eyes, heard the voice of a boy and slowly opened her eyes.
"What are you doing here" Fang Cheng repeated as he saw the girl open her eyes.
The girl who was squatting on the ground saw a boy covering his forehead with one hand, his face was a little painful, and he remembered the stone he had just thrown.
This... I can't do it.
The girl immediately said to Fang Cheng, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't know that there were still people living in this place, so I shouldn't have thrown stones." ”
Fang Cheng was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then he was a little helpless.
What to do, what can be done.
Fang Cheng covered his forehead with one hand and stretched out his other hand to put it in front of the girl.
"Get up. ”
When the girl heard what Fang Cheng said, she timidly stretched out her hand to hold it.
Fang Cheng pulled with one hand, and the girl stood up.
The girl lowered her head with some guilt, and didn't dare to face Fang Cheng.
Seeing this, Fang Cheng pursed the corners of his lips.
Alas, who made me a great man...
Fang Cheng turned to the girl and comforted: "It's okay, it's just that I was hit by a stone, and I have cultivated immortals, and this little injury is nothing." ”
After that, he also touched the place where his forehead was smashed.
"Oops..."Fang Cheng raised his eyebrows in pain and blinked.
Hearing that Fang Cheng was in pain, the girl felt even more guilty.
"It's okay... It's really okay!" Fang Cheng's voice increased.
The girl lowered her head, hesitated for a long time, and a sentence came out of her mouth.
"You... Why don't you break through the second line of Ren Du?"
"Oh yes, if you don't say it, I forgot, I can absorb the aura. Fang Cheng was about to pat his head with the hand covering his forehead, but as soon as he was about to wave his hand, he withdrew his hand and pressed it on his forehead.
"Then, I'll go first!"
After that, the girl was like a running deer, turning her head and running.
"Eh, together!" Before Fang Cheng finished speaking, the girl was gone.
Fang Cheng sighed helplessly, alas, this Qingyun Sect is really...
It's really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
Running back to the tile house, Fang Cheng specially changed into the snow-white brocade clothes given by Aunt Dai before leaving, picked up the Ling Pei on the table, and Fang Cheng stepped out of the house and walked towards the mountain road.
Looking at the bustling flow of people on the mountain road in front of him to the foot of the mountain accompanied by songs and laughter, Fang Cheng smiled sincerely.
Life is a bronze mirror, you laugh at it, why complain in frustration.
Fang Cheng, who poured himself a bowl of chicken soup for the soul, merged into this shoulder to shoulder flow of people.
——
Gathering table.
It was obtained by Qingyunzi after founding the Qingyun Sect, and he went to great lengths to find a place of natural noise in various peaks and opened it up.
The reason why I was looking for this noisy place was because the immortal master said the word "quiet" in his cultivation, and the word "quiet" ran through the whole of his cultivation.
The foundation of refining and pouring gas speaks of "quietness", Jindan Jieyuan infant speaks of "quietness", and the transformation of gods to seek ascension speaks of "quietness". Meditation is the starting point of cultivation, and when the body is quiet, the mind is quiet, and when the mind is quiet, everything is quiet, so that it is true to the immortal path.
Fang Cheng followed the flow of people to the foot of the mountain and entered a bamboo forest, where Fang Cheng faintly heard the sound of the middle stream hitting the water.
Walking out of the bamboo forest, Fang Cheng's eyes suddenly opened up.
I saw a large waterfall surrounded by dozens of thicknesses, like an angry silver dragon, swooping down from mid-air, smashing into the heart of the pool, and the sound of the water roared. In front of the pond, white fat ashlars covered the ground, and dozens of Xijian Peak disciples in emerald green coats sat cross-legged on the ground, swallowing and spitting.
"This should be the Qi Gathering Platform," Fang Cheng stood at the entrance, muttering to himself.
"I said brother, don't get in the way! just an hour, get out of the way!" Before Fang Cheng could turn around, a child of the same age as Fang Cheng behind him nudged Fang Cheng aside. Seeing that Fang Cheng's original standing position was exposed, the children behind him rushed out and ran towards the gathering platform.
Fang Cheng didn't care about this posture, followed the children into the gathering platform, found a clearing at the end, and sat down cross-legged.
Listening to the rumbling sound of hitting the water, Fang Cheng was a little stunned.
It's so noisy, how can you cultivate?
When Fang Cheng was still struggling with how to cultivate, a girl walked beside him.
Fang Cheng looked up and saw that it was a short-haired girl. The girl had a beautiful appearance, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and she turned around Fang Cheng's face a few times.
"Am I taking your place?" Fang Cheng said and gestured to get up.
"No, no, no!" the girl hurriedly waved her hand.
"Oh, what's... Eh, why is this voice so familiar?" Fang Cheng was halfway through his words, and suddenly felt that he had heard this voice somewhere.
Fang Cheng's eyes lit up, pointed to his forehead, and looked at the girl.
"Are you the girl who smashed me?"
As soon as the girl heard Fang Cheng say this, her face immediately turned crimson, and she looked at a purple wound on Fang Cheng's forehead, intentionally or unintentionally.
"I didn't mean to, I'm sorry," the girl bowed her head and apologized to Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng saw that the girl was a little self-blaming, and immediately smiled heartlessly: "Didn't you just say that it was okay, why apologize, it's a little meaning." ”
The girl raised her head slightly, looked at Fang Cheng's facial expression seriously, and saw that Fang Cheng was indeed not angry, and the girl herself had a smile on her face.
Fang Cheng wanted to beckon the girl to sit down, but as soon as the words came out, he didn't know what the girl's name was, so he immediately asked, "Eh, I don't know what your name is..."
"My name is Fu Xiaobao, and my grandfather gave me the name. The girl sat down on her own, looked at Fang Cheng and replied.
"Xiaobao, Xiaobao, your grandfather chose such a random name" Fang Cheng repeated the word Xiaobao in his mouth.
Fu Xiaobao thought for a while and replied, "My grandfather said that according to the rules, I can't choose a name until I'm sixteen years old, and I'm only ten years old now. ”
"Oh oh oh..." Fang Cheng wondered, what kind of rule is this, and this statement.
"What about you, what's your name?" Fu Xiaobao asked rhetorically.
"I, my name is Fang Cheng, Fang is the direction of the square, Cheng is the one above the mouth and the one below the king's Cheng" Fang Cheng was afraid that Fu Xiaobao would not understand, so he specially explained.
"Cut, why doesn't your name sound good" Fu Xiaobao slightly spoke.
Fang Cheng scratched his head, I think it's okay...
Fu Xiaobao saw that Fang Cheng hadn't started cultivating for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you start cultivating?"
"No, such a loud sound of water, it's too noisy, I can't calm down" Fang Cheng pointed to the waterfall in the middle of the pool.
"It's just such a loud sound!" Fu Xiaobao said.
"What?" Fang Cheng wondered, didn't this sound of water mean to make trouble.
Fu Xiaobao looked at Fang Cheng with a disgusted expression, and told Fang Cheng about the use of meditation in cultivation.
"I see, I said, Brother Sun, why hasn't I been mentioning my cultivation, I'm going to go with a light hammer," Fang Cheng suddenly realized.
Fang Cheng admired Fu Xiaobao who was the same age as him beside him, she knew much more than herself.
"Eh, have you broken through now?" Fang Cheng asked.
"Not yet, my breakthrough is slow, it will take a long time. ”
"Why is that?" Fang Cheng felt like a fool asking for directions now, and he didn't know what to ask.
"Secret" Fu Xiaobao glanced at Fang Cheng again.
Fang Cheng disagreed, and snorted.
"Hmph, I also have a secret" After saying that, Fang Cheng learned Fu Xiaobao's movements and skimmed his mouth.
"Hurry up and cultivate, just one hour!" Fu Xiaobao crossed his legs and gestured to Fang with a finger.
Fang Cheng nodded, closed his eyes and began to quiet himself.
The sound of the waterfall kept echoing in the gas gathering platform, and it was like a cavalry in battle, and the people and horses were roaring, impacting into the ears of the disciples in the gas gathering platform.
Fang Cheng frowned slightly, a little distraught. After closing his eyes, Fang Cheng felt that there was no longer the sound of water in his ears, as if he was now sitting under the waterfall with his whole body, ambushed from all sides. Every time the waterfall hits the pool, the sound of the water turns into a spear and stabs at him, blocking his mind and making him unable to communicate with the qifu.
Fang Cheng slowed his breathing, no longer resisting the piercing of the sound of water.
If you can't resist the noise, you have to blend in.
Gradually, Fang Chengyu's eyebrows stretched, and his mind fell silent.
In the Qi Mansion, the golden galaxy emitted faint points of light, and milky white true qi slowly appeared all over Fang Cheng's body, and the true qi was like a tongue of fire enveloping Fang Cheng, and he couldn't stop jumping.
Fang Cheng took a deep breath and began to swallow and breathe, and on his white little hand, the ring flashed with a faint golden light.
