33, interlude
Taibai Immortal City has two city gates, east and west, immortal cultivators enter and exit the city and walk through the east gate, and mortals enter and exit the city and walk through the west gate.
Lin Ning parted from the noisy mortal procession at the fork in the road and walked in the direction of the east gate. There are not many people who embark on this road, and immortal cultivators generally come and go, except for the Qi cultivation period immortal cultivators who are not yet able to fly with their swords, everyone else generally flies directly to the city gate.
In front of Lin Ning's diagonal walked a group of boys, wearing a uniform cyan Confucian shirt, a uniform bun tied up high, and only a wooden hairpin was inserted in the bun, both men and women.
The children looked to be no more than ten years old, and the youngest was about the same as Lin Ning, jumping up and down happily walking together, and the noise of chirping was endless. In front of them walked a young man in a white Confucian shirt, and Lin Ning recognized his outfit as Hongjun Pavilion's.
On the avenue where there are not many people, this group of people is very conspicuous, not to mention that they are all children. Lin Ning became curious, what were the students of the Hongjun Pavilion doing in Taibai Immortal City? Could it be that they were also waiting to open the mountain gate?
Lin Ning took two steps faster and caught up with a little girl who had fallen behind in the group of children. This little girl was as tall as Lin Ning, her face was a little pale, and she looked very tired.
"This classmate. Lin Ning walked to the girl's side, showed her a bright smile, and said, "What are you going to do when you go to Taibai Immortal City?"
Someone next to her suddenly made a noise, and the girl was startled, but when she saw Lin Ning's smiling face, she quickly returned a weak smile and said, "We are students of Linxian Hongjun Pavilion, and we are going to visit and study in Taibai Immortal City." ”
"Linxian ......" Lin Ning pondered for a moment and said, "The road is very far, did you come here?"
"Hmm. The girl nodded and said, "We have been walking for more than a month, and the master said that we want to exercise our will." ”
I see. Lin Ning realized.
Compared with the disciples of the Immortal Sect, the qualifications of the students of the Hongjun Pavilion are generally worse. These children only have one or two levels of Qi training, and most of them will not be able to break through the Qi training period and reach the foundation building stage in this life.
But these children's energetic hearts are still moving, compared with the pride of the sky, they want to get the same thing, they pay much more than the latter.
Looking at the girl's pale face, Lin Ning couldn't help but feel a little distressed. She took out a small porcelain bottle from the storage bag, poured out one of the pills inside, took the little girl's hand, and put the pills into her palm.
"Eat it, your body will be more comfortable. ”
The little girl looked up in confusion and surprise and met Lin Ning's sincere eyes. This is an elixir! The masters can only get one pill a year! Can she eat it? Her eyes involuntarily cast to the master's side, and she happened to meet the master's eyes.
It's just the most basic rejuvenation pill, Lin Ning still wondered, why didn't this little girl eat it, obviously her face was already so bad.
The master had already seen Lin Ning. What Lin Ning had used on himself before was only the most ordinary trick to cover his eyes, which was only effective for mortals. She didn't plan to hide her head and tail in front of these Hongjun Pavilion students.
It's just that the master didn't see through Lin Ning's cultivation at a glance, and he didn't look like she was malicious, so he didn't act rashly, thinking about waiting and watching. Who knew that after saying two words, Lin Ning actually took out a pill.
At this time, the children also noticed the abnormality here, the laughter stopped, and everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the pill in the palm of the little girl's palm, revealing disbelief.
Lin Ning's face changed slightly when he saw this. Careless.
I don't blame Lin Ning. Whether it is in Shangqingmen or in the Lin royal family, the most basic pills such as Rejuvenation Pill and Bigu Pill are all big road goods, and the price of cabbage.
But for the Hongjun Pavilion, which aims to popularize basic immortal cultivation education, students rely on water grinding to cultivate immortals, and there are many people who have never seen such a precious thing as pills.
Seeing that everyone was coming, the master coughed lightly, and said to the little girl in a warm voice: "Eat, this is your chance." Take advantage of it. ”
The little girl was stunned, and then her eyes showed joy, as if she couldn't believe that she had such good luck.
It was only that her surprise suddenly turned to deep despair, because the boy standing beside her suddenly reached out to grab the elixir.
"Humph!"
Lin Ning snorted lightly, and the boy's hand that grabbed the pill seemed to be frozen in the air, and it couldn't fall any longer.
After revealing this hand, no child dared to fight this elixir, and they realized that Lin Ning, who looked smaller than them, was actually unfathomable in his cultivation.
The little girl experienced great joy and sorrow in an instant, and at this time, she looked at the pill with a sense of happiness that she had lost and regained. She no longer hesitated, thanked Lin Ning seriously, and then resolutely swallowed the pill.
The moment the little girl swallowed the elixir, Lin Ning keenly felt that the aura around her was a little restless. She blinked, and looked at the little girl sitting in the middle of the road with five hearts to the sky. She was about to break through.
The surrounding hundred-foot aura swirled into the little girl's body, Lin Ning stood in place to protect the little girl, and she glanced at the eyes of the children around her. There is jealousy, there is envy, but there is also pure amazement, and a more determined Dao heart.
Lin Ning withdrew his gaze. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and although the children are small, they will also form their own small society. If there is society, there will be classes, and if there are classes, there will be oppression. The boy snatched the little girl's things so easily just now, obviously not once or twice.
God helps those who help themselves, she can help for a while, but she can't help for a lifetime, I hope this little girl can be stronger in the future and walk out of her own wonderful life.
When the little girl finished settling down, she really succeeded in breaking through the second layer of Qi training, she felt the spiritual power in her body that was more powerful than before, and she was overjoyed, and thanked Lin Ning again and again. You must know that the cultivation of the second level of qi cultivation can generally only be achieved by those older children, and if you reach the second level of qi training at this age, your future future will be different.
Lin Ning knew that her pill was just an introduction, and the little girl's breakthrough mainly relied on her usual accumulation and the transformation of her mood just now. She stopped the little girl from thanking her any more, said goodbye to the Hongjun Pavilion and the party, and walked towards Taibai City first.
This incident also gave Lin Ning a wake-up call, and she told herself in her heart that in the future, she could no longer arbitrarily cause and effect just because she was just a gesture to herself.
Embarking on the path of cultivating immortals, the higher the cultivation, the greater the impact it can cause, and an unintentional move may trigger a series of chain reactions, and a small act of oneself may change the lives of others.
It's not bad to do good, it's just to be more cautious. At the very least, actions should be taken after clarifying what the consequences of each of their actions will be.
Many years later, Lin Ning would often think of this little thing, and that was the first time she felt that her energy was beyond her imagination. And how to make herself stronger and stronger get along with the world is also a proposition she has been studying.
