Thirty-one
At night in the countryside, the moonlight envelops the village like a white veil. In the distant rice fields, the moonlight flows. The people of the village have long been in a sweet sleep.
As soon as Hongxue and the others entered the village, the silence of the night was broken by a barking of dogs, and Ziying said, "Girl, I'm afraid we will spend the night here tonight!"
Hongxue nodded and said, "Well!"
When she entered the village and saw that the candles in the courtyard were not extinguished, Hongxue said, "That's it!"
Ziying nodded, got up and gently slammed the door.
"Who!" said an old man's voice for a long time.
Ziying said: "Hello uncle! I am passing through here with my girl! It is too late to hurry, so I want to stay at home for one night!"
Inside the door, I heard a woman say, "What a girl sleeps in the middle of the night, don't be something unclean!"
The man glanced through the crack in the door and said, "It doesn't look like she's riding a cow!"
The woman said: "Recently, something strange has happened in the village, so don't look for trouble, whose girl knocks on the door in the middle of the night!"
Ziying said: "Uncle, we are really here to spend the night, if the uncle does not dislike it, we will definitely give the silver!"
I only heard the muttering inside the door for a long time, and after a while, the unlocking sound of "jingle bell" was heard, and the door opened!
It was the uncle who opened the door, and the uncle said, "Girl, please!"
When Hongxue came in, she found that there were two men behind her. The woman hesitated and said, "There are still two sons, girls are .....!"
Ziying said: "Auntie, it's okay! their silver is counted separately!"
The aunt hurriedly said, "No, no.. The girl is not a matter of money! My house is still a room, this girl and son...?"
Ziying looked at Hongxue, and Hongxue smiled: "It's okay!
The aunt nodded and responded, "That's good, as long as you don't think there's anything wrong!"
When the uncle lit the lamp, Hongxue saw the uncle's appearance clearly, the uncle was about fifty years old, wearing a gray coarse cloth gown, a tall and thin plaid slightly hunchbacked, his yellowish face had climbed into folds, and his eyes were bright. The aunt was slightly chubby and wearing a coarse cloth dress, and the circle around her waist had not yet been resolved, looking like a peasant woman.
The aunt took Hongxue and the others to the small room in the west corner. The aunt pushed open the door and said, "Girl, childe, this room has been idle for a long time, and I will bring you a few clean bedding later, so you can be so wronged!"
The humble room was dusty and dusty, and an old wooden bed frame was in the corner.
Ziying was obviously shocked by the clutter in this room, and she frowned and looked at Hongxue. Hongxue made an indifferent expression and said, "It doesn't matter! We've all slept in the barren mountains and mountains, it's nothing!"
After a while, the aunt brought the mattress, and Hongxue slept on the bed, and a few of them made bunks on the floor.
After falling asleep, Hongxue felt a cool undercurrent surging in her abdomen, and thought: "After sucking that bead today, the fierceness on my body seems to have been reduced a lot, but after all, this water and fire are incompatible, and this cool air has not been fused. Even if I can cultivate my inner self into a solid foundation, I can also truly exert the power of water and fire, otherwise my body will really become a refining and melting field for the two of them, and in turn will be restricted by them. !”
Hongxue sat down and found that the ball of fire was suppressed in the dantian by an invisible force, and the ball of water flowed like a spring.
Hongxue adjusted slightly to turn the dantian into roots, and the five organs into trunks. With the breath of the red snow, the source of the water droplets was slowly led to the internal organs, and the dantian qi was activated to break through the suppressed fire beads, and a ball of flame suddenly surrounded the red snow's body. Hongxue suddenly felt burned by the flames again! Hongxue hurriedly practiced her luck, and Hongxue read: "The wind is different, the thunder shakes the palace, the practice of separation from the water, the source of water life, internal and external training, the internal organs are peaceful, and the gods are exquisitely combined, so that I become a god, the Tao and nature, the heavens will last forever, and the urgency is like the law!." ”
As soon as the word came out, the fire in Hongxue's body condensed into the dantian, and the fire of the dantian ignited instantly, and Hongxue only felt that the true qi in her body was abundant, and the warmth was no longer as hot.
She then poured the source of the five internal organs, and the endless water source dripped into the dantian with the roots of the tree to skillfully integrate.
At this moment, several clusters of light flashing blue, white, and yellow floated into the house, circling around the red snow.
I heard a woman's voice say, "Oh.... It turns out that there is a girl cultivating here! No wonder the aura is soaring here!"
A man's voice said, "Yes, I saw that the girl had already settled down, and it was the time when she was defenseless, so we took advantage of this time to suck the essence of the essence, it was easy!"
Another man's voice said, "Wait! If this woman has a lot of mana, let's not get it anymore, but someone will clean it up!"
The first man's voice said, "What are you afraid of! Don't worry! She is now the time to enter the meditation of Vipassana, and there is nothing she can do about it, if she forcibly makes a decision, it will only make the inner element turn into powder." ”
Hongxue felt the demon's interference, and her body began to shake, and sweat broke out on her forehead. She sighed in her heart: "It's not good, if I am interrupted by them at this time, I will definitely fall short, and I may not ruin my cultivation!"
"No, I can't be disturbed, I have to be calm!"
"Sun spirit and moon god, shine brightly, protect my body, shine brightly!" Hongxue began to chant incantations in her heart.
Lingxin felt Hongxue's uneasiness and woke up, and he saw that Hongxue was being disturbed by several evil spirits. He was about to make a move, when Hongxue chanted a spell and his body glowed with golden light, until the flame red fox burst out, and several evil spirits rushed out of the house with a roar.
I heard a wail outside the hospital, and the man said, "Didn't you say that she is defenseless now!"
Another man said, "How do I know that his Dharma Protector is so powerful!"
One man said, "What was that!
Another man said, "I don't know! Let's run away first! It's bad luck to be caught by her!"
As he spoke, several clusters of light vanished
Lingxin stepped forward and saw that Hongxue's mind had been settled. He said softly: "Sister, I'm not sleeping, I'm here to protect the Fa! You can cultivate and adjust with peace of mind!"
Zi Ying got up and was about to say something, but Lingxin hurriedly put her finger to her mouth, made a silent gesture and shook her head, Zi Ying immediately moved in place.
After the fusion of water and fire in the body, Hongxue slowly opened her eyes, and the sky was already bright.
Lingxin hurriedly asked: "Sister, how do you feel, it was really dangerous last night, if it weren't for the Red Flame Fox in your body to protect the Fa, I'm afraid you would have lost your spirits." ”
Hongxue eased up slightly, smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay! I've now balanced the power of water and fire, and not only that, but I've been able to mobilize them well." ”
"Thank you, for keeping watch for me all night!"
Lingxin said: "Sister is polite, Ziying also didn't close her eyes all night, guarding her sister!"
Hongxue looked at Ziying and said movingly: "Ziying has worked hard for you!"
Ziying was deeply ashamed and said: "Girl, don't say that, there was a demon entering yesterday, which almost shocked the girl's cultivation, I fell asleep and didn't know anything, Ziying really deserves to die." ”
Hongxue lowered her face and said: "Ziying, don't always blame yourself like this, you have done a good job, you accompany me, take care of me with all your might, but I want you to sleep with me, I am very upset." In my heart, you are just like my sister, don't be like this!"
Ziying said in fear: "Girl, don't say that! The girl treats us sincerely, and it is our blessing to be able to accompany you, and Ziying is also willing to follow the girl!"
Lingxin said, "Yes, sister, I don't know how happy I am to come with you all the way!"
Hongxue was very relieved to look at Lingxin and Ziying and said: "Ziying, Lingxin! and auspicious, thank you very much, if you didn't accompany me, I really don't know if I can get to this point!"
Lingxin said: "Don't worry, sister, no matter when, I will always be with you!"
At this time, Jixiang also woke up, squinted his eyes and said, "Listen to what you mean that there is nothing wrong with me!"
The three of them looked at Jixiang at the same time, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"Girl, Childe, are you up, breakfast is ready, you can eat some!" shouted the aunt outside the door!
Hongxue's voice responded happily: "This is coming, auntie!"
Hongxue saw that there was a rectangular wooden table in the courtyard, which was already a little corrupted. On the table were bowls of porridge, a basket of steamed buns and a plate of pickles.
The aunt said, "Girl, son, sit down and eat quickly!"
The aunt said and brought another bowl of porridge.
Hongxue said, "Auntie, hurry up and sit down and eat together!"
The aunt said, "No, you can eat first! We'll eat later!" Seeing that the aunt was busy, they were no longer polite when they had to hurry!
While Hongxue and the others were eating, the door to the east of the house opened. A man walked out of the room.
I only heard the aunt's pleasant voice say, "Ah Zheng! You get up, come quickly! Breakfast is ready, hurry up and eat some!" The aunt said and waved at Ah Zheng.
The man was seventeen or eighteen years old, eight feet tall and stocky, with dark skin, thick eyebrows, and upright features.
When the man saw Hongxue and them, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mother, what are these people doing?"
The eldest aunt said: "No, these girls last night, the son came to spend the night, and your father thought that there was still a vacant room at home, so he let them stay!"
The man looked around at a few people, and Hongxue and his party nodded politely.
The man seemed a little embarrassed, and hurriedly sat down to bury his head in eating. This man eats a lot of food, no wonder the aunt wants to get a basket full of heads. The man took a bite of steamed buns and stunned Hongxue them.
Hongxue suddenly noticed that there was a faint trace of black demonic aura behind the man, and Hongxue frowned.
Lingxin noticed Dao Hongxue's expression and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Hongxue smiled stiffly: "No! nothing!"
At this time, Ah Zheng stood up after eating, Ah Zheng himself was quite rude, and when they saw Hongxue, they were even more overwhelmed when they were nervous.
Ah Zheng said in a sullen voice: "Mother!
The aunt hurriedly put down the work in her hand, wiped her hands on the bib around her waist, and said, "Ah Zheng, hurry up, don't delay going to Fang Zhenren, give this a copper coin!" The aunt said and stuffed the money into Ah Zheng's hand, glanced at Hongxue happily and said excitedly: "Yesterday, this girl gave a certain amount of silver!
Ah Zheng was stunned and responded: "Oh! I know my mother!" After speaking, he went out.
Hongxue saw that Aunt Ah Zheng was full of joy, and hesitated: "Auntie, can you ask! What kind of person is it?"
When the eldest aunt heard Hongxue's question, her eyes suddenly lit up and said: "Girl! You are a foreigner, you don't know, this real person is a real spirit! At the beginning, the young people in our village all got a strange life, and my Ah Zheng also unfortunately suffered, and the people in the village were in a hurry, so they all went to the temple in the village to ask the Bodhisattva to manifest the spirit, and then the gods may have felt that our sincerity was really manifested, and sent the Taoist to our village, he said that he was instructed by the Bodhisattva to come to the world to save the suffering, and at first everyone did not believe it. But those who drank his elixir were cured. However, this Fang Zhenren said that this elixir had to be eaten for half a month, but this Fang Zhenren said that these gods he invited were very demanding, and they wanted these good men and women to make three animal offerings once every seven days, and they took silver coins to worship incense every day, and they could receive medicine after making merits. But it's nothing, as long as the disease can be cured. The aunt described it vividly.
Hongxue was very puzzled and asked, "Then what kind of strange disease do they have?"
