Chapter 6 The Old Road of the Broken Temple
At dinner, Li Mo planned to make pancakes to eat, and his younger brother liked to eat them very much. I scooped two bowls of flour and a bowl of cornmeal, and added some finely ground sugar. Then make egg-sized balls one by one and roll them out into cakes. Fry patiently in a pan until both sides are golden brown, and sprinkle a few sesame seeds on the noodles. A sweet smell permeated everywhere, and Li Mo tasted one and was very satisfied. Just wait for Li Kui to come back and eat it directly.
"Mo Niang, it's not good, your Kuiwazi let the wild boar hit it. β
Li Mo looked at the door, and everyone carried his younger brother back, he was covered in blood. Li Mo's body was a little weak, he staggered, and stood up straight again. Pulled over the lady who had reported the message before and said, "Auntie, please ask for a doctor, help me get a doctor." β
The eldest lady looked at the mess, and she had to run out to call the doctor after stomping her feet.
Li Kui was already semi-comatose, and occasionally he was a little conscious, and he only muttered a few words in a low voice, "Sister, sister" or "Pain." "There's a hole in my stomach, and it's still bleeding, and it looks like it's almost done.
The person who sent Li Kui back said, "It's already considered good luck, hey, it's a wild boar, it suddenly came out of the bushes, hit Kuiwazi and walked away directly, it was like Kuiwazi just blocking his way." Not to mention children, last year there was a man in the next village who encountered a wild boar, and even the corpse was lost. β
Li Mo forced himself to calm down, but his tears couldn't be controlled, and he fell down in a hurry.
The doctor took the pulse, knew that the child was hopeless, and sighed. Out of professional ethics, he carefully gave Li Kui medicine and bandaged the wound, and finally stopped the bleeding. He looked at Li Mo in embarrassment and said, "Mo Niang, I won't lie to you, Kui Wazi is about to die, he has lost too much blood." I've done everything I can, and now I can only ask God. β
"Doctor, let's try something else. Li Mo pleaded.
Ignoring Li Mo's plea, the doctor had no other way to save people, so he shook his head and left. As a doctor, I am used to seeing life and death, and I don't want to see this kind of scene that is destined to end, which is troublesome. Some of the villagers brought some things over, and they all slowly left.
Li Mo sat on the edge of the bed, weak. Every day after being reborn, the scenes are rolling, the tears have not broken, and the heart hurts. Until midnight, Li Kui never really woke up except for occasional convulsions.
"Do you want to save him?" suddenly sounded in the quiet and empty room, and an old and majestic voice sounded.
"Who?" Li Mo looked up, only to see a Taoist priest suddenly appear in the room, with a white Taoist robe and a white beard, but he had black hair and a childish face.
"You're not the Taoist priest who broke the temple. Li Mo was already a little sure, and asked urgently, "Can you really save my brother?"
Lao Dao touched his beard, "It can be saved, but it's not easy to save." β
"What requirements do you have, what conditions do you have" Li Mo looked at Lao Dao anxiously and said.
"It's not that the old man wants to ask for anything, it's just that this kid has lost too much essence and blood, and even if he comes over, he won't recover so quickly, and it will take at least ten years to cultivate my unique mental method. After Lao Dao finished speaking, he was afraid that Li Mo would not understand enough, so he continued, "The old man's unique heart method cannot be taught casually, this kid has to worship me as a teacher." The old man here will not stay for long, if you agree, the old man will take him away tonight. β
Li Mo said, "If you can really save my brother, I promise you all this, but where will I find my brother in the future, how do I know if you lied to me." β
Lao Dao spread his right hand, and a ball of fire appeared out of thin air, floating in the air and stopped, and suddenly compared the faint flame of the candlelight, and emitted an incandescent light, illuminating the room transparently.
Snorted coldly, "The old man disdainfully lied to you, so why not tell you the truth." The old man is a cultivator, and your little doll probably doesn't understand. The old man calculated that there was a strange treasure born in the depths of the mountain behind you, so he came to investigate, but unfortunately he found nothing for so many days. Your younger brother has good qualifications for cultivation, and he is a mutated Lei Linggen, and the old man has moved his heart to love talents. β
Speaking of which, he looked at Li Modao, "Your sister and brother are also miracles, it is rare for one person in 100,000 mortals to have a spiritual root, and your brother and sister actually have both." However, your spiritual root is too poor, and the old man's sect never accepts female disciples, so it's useless for you to beg the old man. If you're okay, I'll take you. β
Li Mo said to Lao Dao that he had a spiritual root, and before he had time to care, he asked, "Then where will I find you in the future." β
Lao Dao suddenly changed his temperament, his skin was as clear as jade, his white beard was windless, and his Taoist robe swayed gently with a certain rhythm, and he suddenly looked like a fairy wind and bones. Looking at Li Mo condescendingly, "After entering the cultivation realm, you are different from clouds and mud, and this mundane thing will only affect his mind and disturb his cultivation." Do you understand. The old way will not deceive you, you take this silver and live your life well. It's also considered me to be a substitute disciple who is a master, but I have this sister-brother relationship. β
Saying that, he conjured up 5 ingots of silver out of thin air, and Li Mo knew that it was one hundred taels and one ingots. Five hundred taels of silver is indeed enough for a country woman to live a rich life for a lifetime.
But Li Mo didn't answer, Lao Dao's momentum was a little overwhelming, Li Mo was like a drowning man desperately floating up against the water, gritted his teeth and looked at Lao Dao firmly, "I'm just this one brother, he will look for me when he wakes up." β
It felt like a quarter of an hour had passed, and Li Mo felt a sense of oppression on his body, he was too nervous just now to find that his underwear was sweaty.
Lao Dao said, "That's it, the old man has always been known for his kindness, so I'll give you one more way." β
As he spoke, he pointed to Li Mo's forehead, and Li Mo felt a ball of light rushing into his brain, and before he could react, he listened to Lao Dao and continued, "This is the mental method of cultivating the true for a period of entry, if you can practice to the beginning of Qi training, you can only start the subsequent period of exercises, which is enough for you to practice to the foundation building period." If you can really step into the cultivation realm, come to Tianzhu Mountain to find your brother. The old man's road name is Qingyangzi. There is a difference between mortal dust, with your qualifications, how can you be so easy to cultivate, if you don't practice to achieve peace of mind, live a good life here. After speaking, without waiting for Li Mo to reply, he flicked his sleeves and disappeared.
Li Mo hurriedly looked back, his younger brother was gone, and there was only the five hundred taels of silver on the bed.
Knowing that his younger brother was saved, Li Mo quickly felt at ease.
Only then did I have the heart to check the light that Lao Dao entered. Li Mo searched for a long time, but found nothing. Finally, I closed my eyes and felt it hard.
"Hold the spiritual platform, heaven and man are one. The air sinks into the dantian, and the circumference is circumferential. β
A sentence suddenly appeared in his mind, and the frightened Li Mo's eyes opened suddenly. I tried a few more times, and then there was no movement. There were a lot of things that happened today, but I was really sleepy at this point, and I quickly fell asleep.
But he said that the old road here turned over the inside and outside of the back mountain, and confirmed that it was a miscalculation, and there was no treasure. I was still a little proud in my heart, I couldn't find a strange treasure, and it was not bad to pick up a single Lei Linggen disciple, not bad. Those old guys showed off in front of themselves, that disciple was talented again, and how filial he was to that disciple. It's not that he bullied himself for not having an apprentice.
Returning to his own cave house, Lao Dao rummaged in the storage bag for a long time, poured out a pill, and prepared to feed it to Li Kui, and then took it back when he got to his mouth. He said to himself, "No, no, this is a muscle-restoring pill for mortals, one pill can be good, but I don't have to waste such a good opportunity." β
It was another whole flover, and almost all the pills were laid out, and they were picked up and looked at in the same way, and they thought about it again. Finally, he excitedly said, "Yes." "With a goal, it's time to take the pill. A delicate jade bottle the size of a thumb, carefully poured out a pill, the pill body was blood red, and there were still lines wandering around the pill body.
Lao Dao looked at this elixir with his eyes, just like a big man looking at a beautiful woman, and said to himself, "This life creation pill is almost lost in human essence and blood, just take it, it can regenerate essence and blood, and there is a five-layer chance to improve qualifications." It's up to you," and then fed Li Kui.
After Li Kui took the pill, his whole body was red, and the wounds on his body recovered as before. When the red light faded, Li Kui woke up, his skin was as white as jade, his face was ruddy, and he looked like he was seriously injured and about to die half a minute ago. Rubbing his eyes, he saw this strange cave, and then saw the old Tao in front of him, and said, "Old Dao grandpa, why are you here? β
Qingyangzi stared at Li Kui and shouted from the beginning, sure enough, his qualifications have improved again, this is really a peerless jade. The beauty in my heart was temporarily put down, and I replied, "Do you remember what happened before?"
Li Kui thought for a while and said, "I'm also strange, it seems that I let the wild boar hit me before." But I still remember that it was my sister who accompanied me. Where's my sister?"
Qingyangzi stroked his beard and said, "Your sister saw that you were dying, so she sold me five hundred taels of silver as an apprentice." β
Li Kuidu was about to cry, "You are talking nonsense, how can my sister sell me, and besides, I don't want to be a little Taoist." β
Qingyangzi was very happy on his face, "Anyway, this is the truth, when did the old man lie to you." β
Li Kui shouted, "I'm going to find my sister." With that, he ran out of the cave.
When I came out, Li Kui was stupid. On the top of a dangerous peak, the peak is high in the clouds, surrounded by cliffs, and you can't see the ground at a glance, only a lot of bamboo is planted around.
Li Kui really cried this time, and said to Qingyangzi who came out, "I want to go home, I want to find my sister." β
Qingyangzi said, "The kid is not promising, isn't it just some cliffs, and it scares you like this." Worship the old man as a teacher, and when you cultivate to the foundation building period, you will be able to step on the sword and go home. β
Looking at Li Kui's confused appearance, Qingyangzi directly sacrificed a flying sword, and walked around the cloud top for a few scrolls. It was only a blink of an eye, and he instigated to put away his sword and stand in front of Li Kui.
Li Kui immediately knelt down and said, "The master is above, please accept the apprentice." He said a bow, but he kowtowed three times very hard.
"From today on, you will be a disciple of the teacher. The teacher is the uncle of the head of Tiandao Mountain, and there is only one disciple of you at present. There are also a few sect elders on it, but they are all the same generation as my master. Our Tiandao Mountain is one of the three major factions in the Northern DesertΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Li Kui hurriedly interrupted, "I know, Master is the most powerful." Then Master, when will I be able to build a foundation and step on the sword?"
Qingyangzi tried his best to make an unfathomable look, and touched his beard a few more times before saying, "Your qualifications are very good, and you will teach you carefully as a teacher." You can build the foundation in ten years at the earliest. β
Li Kui jumped up and stopped kneeling. His roar echoed around the quiet cliffs of the hollow valley: "Ten years!
