Just after the third month of Shouxiao, Lin Zixu found Xu Ziyang and said: "The head of the family, the matter of migration has been almost prepared, most of the subordinates have been dismissed, and those who remain are loyal and reliable, but some of the generals just want to stay in Pingzhou, and the Qian steward does not want to return to Dizhou." ”

Most of the generals of the Xu family are Xu Zhongshan's former personal soldiers, most of them were brought from Dizhou, and some were later taken in, marrying wives and having children in Pingzhou, and they have already taken root here, so let them follow them to Dizhou, I am afraid that some strong people will be difficult, and these Xu Ziyang can also understand.

It's just that the money housekeeper is an old man in the family, so he doesn't want to go back to Dizhou.

Xu Ziyang was a little puzzled, and recruited a money housekeeper.

Steward Qian bowed deeply to Xu Ziyang and said: "The old slave entered the Xu family at the age of thirteen, and the old man was in charge, thanks to the master's attention, let me manage many affairs of the Xu Mansion, it has been more than 30 years, and the ancestral house of the Xu family is the root of the old slave." The old slave is sixty-five years old, and his days are numbered, and he cannot withstand the bumps in the road. The old slave begged the head of the family to let the old slave stay in Pingzhou, guard the grave, and be buried in Pingzhou after death. ”

After hearing this, Xu Ziyang was very sad, sighed and said: "Uncle Qian is an old man in the family and is loyal. It really makes the money housekeeper bumpy and tired, and I can't bear it. I will leave a part of the property so that the money steward and several families will be able to die in peace. “

"Thank you for being compassionate. The old slave is old and can no longer serve the little marquis, and the old slave swears that even if he is a ghost, he will guard the house. Steward Qian sobbed.

One day in early February, Xu Ziyang and his family dragged their families with them, and more than 100 people left Pingzhou just after dawn.

Xu Ziyang was in a complicated mood along the way and was silent.

Seeing that Xu Ziyang was in a heavy mood, Lin Zixu asked, "The head of the family was in a heavy mood along the way, but for the sake of the family's migration?"

Xu Ziyang said abruptly: "I was born in Pingzhou, grew up in Pingzhou, left here today, I don't know when I can return to Pingzhou." ”

Lin Zi smiled and said, "It's man-made. In the past, the old marquis was just the son of a businessman, and in the end, he was named the marquis because of his outstanding merits. As long as the head of the family can stand above 10,000 people, where can he not be home, let alone return to Pingzhou. ”

Hearing Xu Ziyang's words, Xu Ziyang's blood boiled, but after a while, Xu Ziyang calmed down, and then said gloomily, "My father is martial arts, everything is extraordinary, and I can't do martial arts, how can I compare with my father?"

"Why should the head of the family be arrogant, your qualifications are excellent, but the head of the family has never paid attention to these things. "Lin Zixu is kind and seductive.

"Shangxin?" Xu Ziyang muttered to himself after hearing this.

"Yes, your mind is used elsewhere, and the head of the family is just perfunctory about civil and military affairs. Lin Zixu stared at Xu Ziyang's eyes and said.

After hearing this, Xu Ziyang's face was slightly red and his expression was embarrassed.

In fact, Xu Ziyang likes to read, but what he likes is some miscellaneous books such as gods and ghosts, and he is extremely disgusted with the moral articles of the great Confucians in the world.

Xu Zhongshan is busy with official business on weekdays, and every time he sees Xu Ziyang reading quietly at home, he is very relieved, but he doesn't know that he is reading absurd books.

Xu Ziyang was slightly embarrassed, wanted to divert the topic, and suddenly asked: "Uncle Lin, before his death, my father said that he delayed you in seeking the Tao, I don't know what kind of Tao Uncle Lin is seeking?"

"The way of the gods. Lin Zixu said indifferently.

Although Xu Ziyang often reads stories about gods and monsters, he also understands that those ghosts and gods are false, so after hearing Lin Zixu's words, he was very surprised and said: "Uncle Lin, the words of ghosts and gods are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Xun Xian asked, even more ethereal. Uncle Lin is a wise man, why is he also asking for this fruitless thing?"

Lin Zixu smiled faintly and asked, "The head of the family doesn't believe that there are immortals in the world?"

Xu Ziyang was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Everyone in the world is rumored to have immortals, but who has really seen immortals?"

Lin Zixu sighed and said, "What the immortals seek is to be quiet and leisurely, and they are mostly hidden in the world, so the world can't see them." ”

Xu Ziyang asked, "Could it be that Uncle Lin has seen it?"

Lin Zixu shook his head and said, "No." But I know that there are gods in the world. ”

"Where is it?" Xu Ziyang hurriedly asked.

Lin Zixu didn't answer, and asked rhetorically: "Does the head of the family know the origin of my Lin family's marksmanship?"

Xu Ziyang shook his head and said curiously: "I don't know, is there still a story?"

"My grandfather was a sailor of Cai Guo, once the water march encountered a water dragon, more than 20 ships were destroyed, only my grandfather survived, but fell into the Dian River, and accidentally found that there was an abandoned water mansion in the Dian River. With only a few books and a few weapons, my grandfather practiced martial arts in Shuifu for three years and eventually became a master of the martial arts generation. My Sun Gun was obtained by my grandfather from Shuifu. Lin Zixu told the story.

Xu Ziyang suddenly felt incredible after hearing this, he often heard that someone had encountered ghosts and gods, and he always thought it was a rumor in the market, and a foolish man and a foolish woman spread a false rumor. I didn't expect that Uncle Lin next to him really had such an adventure.

"If it weren't for the immortals, who would be able to open up a water mansion under the water? And the martial arts secrets and some poetry books that my grandfather obtained were thrown on the ground casually, but the real bookshelf was empty. The Lin family's Burning Sun Spear, Bright Sun Knife, and Sanyang Sword were all picked up from Shuifu. The treasure room in the water house is also empty. Therefore, my grandfather guessed that the treasure he obtained was a mortal object, and the immortal abandoned it as if it were a piece of clothing, and did not take it with him when he left. When Lin Zixu said this, his face was full of fascination.

Xu Ziyang was even more dumbfounded, and after a long time, he asked, "Uncle Lin's grandfather is Cai Guo's Lin Shuangfu Lin Immortal?"

"It's grandfather!" replied Lin Zixu.

Xu Ziyang asked: "It is rumored that Lin Shenxian lived for more than six hundred years, and finally became an immortal. ”

Lin Zixu sighed and said, "The rumors are not credible. It's true that my grandfather lived a long life. However, he did not live to be 600 years old, he was only six Jiazi. ”

Xu Ziyang was a little enlightened after hearing this, and muttered: "It turned out that it was exaggerated by the world! Three hundred and sixty years old, in the eyes of the world, he is an immortal." ”

My grandfather once said that mortals need to cross four realms to become immortals, the first is to refine and refine qi, the second is to refine qi and transform gods, the third is to refine gods and return to the void, and the fourth is to refine the void and merge the way."

When Xu Ziyang heard these secrets for the first time, he became interested and asked, "Uncle Lin, what are the ways of refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning to the void and refining the void together?"

"Refining and refining qi is to integrate the essence of heaven and earth into one's own body, cultivate true qi, store it in the lower dantian Guan Yuan acupoint, and then let the true qi wander in Zhou Tian, endlessly. Lin Zixu paused and continued to speak.

"What is the essence of heaven and earth?" Xu Ziyang said curiously.

"To put it simply, what you usually eat and drink is the essence of heaven and earth. ”

Xu Ziyang suddenly realized, and then asked, "What about refining qi and transforming gods?"

"Refining Qi and transforming the gods is the connection of the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, after the completion of Zhou Tian, the acquired qi turns into innate qi, which is stored in the middle of the dantian and the middle acupoint. Then use the innate qi to gather the five internal organs, and finally rush through the heavenly gate in the body. The gate of heaven is open, the primordial spirit is present, and when there is a primordial god, it can be regarded as truly embarking on the road of cultivation. Lin Zixu talked about the way of cultivation, his eyebrows fluttered, and he talked endlessly.

"What is refining the gods and returning to the void?"

"The innate qi is stored in the upper dantian Yintang acupoint, and the original god lives in the gate of heaven, no longer refining the body, but turning to refine the original god, emphasizing the void but not the reality, this is the refining of the god back to the void. ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Zixu paused and sighed: "As for what the Refining Void Combination Dao is, I don't know. ”

After listening to this, Xu Ziyang muttered to himself: "I only heard that there are dantians before, but today I know that there are dantians that are also divided into upper, middle and lower." ”
