Chapter 6: The Death of Cultivation

Spread out the rice paper, dip the pen in ink, and write silently one word after another, a total of 100 words, densely packed with rice paper. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Then the old gentleman pointed to a word casually, and Lin Duan had to recite the meaning of the commonly used words, alien shapes, common fakes, and word making rules, and there could be no mistakes or omissions. Lin Dusk's back, the three children listened in the back, their faces showing different degrees of surprise and stunned. He memorized it fluently, and he couldn't hear any flaws in a dozen words in a row, and if a hundred words were like this, the children would never be able to ask themselves. However, probably because he didn't think there was any need to check it thoroughly, the old gentleman only asked twenty words before stopping, and then raised the ring ruler high, and said to Lin Duan: "Stretch out your hand." ”

Lin Dui was a little surprised, he didn't know what he was wrong, Lin Hao and Lin Peixuan were relieved, if Lin Dui didn't make any mistakes, it would surprise them. Lin Peili was still rubbing her little hands, her eyes were slightly red, obviously she didn't have the heart to care about Lin Dui, but if she had an older brother to accompany her to be beaten, she might feel a little better.

With his right hand still writing, Lin Duan stretched out his left hand. The ring ruler fell on the palm of his hand one by one, and the pain in his heart turned red and swollen when he saw it. Lin Du gritted his teeth and endured it, hitting him five times, and Mr. withdrew his hand, which made Lin Hao, who was silently counting in his heart, very unhappy, only five times, this is just a mistake, is it a little less? But I heard the old gentleman ask: "Lin Dui, do you know why I hit you?"

Lin Du felt that his left hand was about to be knocked off, and he pursed his lips and shook his head.

"The writing is too ugly!"

“...... Oh. Lin Du wanted to say that he was working hard to write, but seeing that the old gentleman looked very angry, he had to bow his head aggrievedly.

Lin Hao and the three of them were all stunned. The reason why Lin Duan was beaten was not because he made a typo, but because he had memorized all 100 words! Sir is really getting more and more severe. The three of them all looked down at their own words, especially Lin Hao, who directly threw away the graffiti on his desk.

However, it turned out that their worries were unnecessary, Lin Hao, who wrote like a picturesque map, was not punished by Mr., only Lin Du was punished. Lin Duan, who learns a hundred words every day, is diligent and serious and has never made a mistake, but his words have never passed the test, and he will be hit with a ring ruler every day, which causes his left hand to be slightly red and swollen all the time. A few children gradually felt that he was a little pitiful, and he had to be beaten every day after learning so much and doing so well, and no one would be upset, right? But Lin Du went to class as usual, and he was serious and never complained.

He didn't dare to tell his mother about the beating, this kind of humiliating thing would only make his mother think he was stupid, but his redoubling of his hard practice still attracted Jin Luohua's attention, and he soon saw his red and swollen left hand. While washing his hands with a swelling potion, he asked what happened, Jin Luohua said earnestly: "Mr. beat you not because you can't write well, but because he doesn't want you to be proud, and urges you to persevere and persevere." In fact, you shouldn't learn so fast, learning and practicing words is more important to cultivate your self-cultivation, so that you can concentrate and be willing to persevere, only in this way can you practice smoothly in the future. ”

Lin Duan has understood a lot since then. Perseverance is more important than cleverness and diligence, and learning and practicing characters is actually preparing for practice, so Mr. prefers students who are practical and persistent than students who learn quickly. The daily precept ruler is a reminder to him, telling him to always remember that he still has shortcomings and cannot relax. Thinking about this, Lin Dui's heart was completely understood, and he gradually adapted to the cold ring ruler of Mr. However, what he didn't understand was that when he didn't feel any grievances, some people couldn't help but stand up and cry out for him.

This person is Lin Peixuan, the one-year-old young lady who is a big Lin twilight. Originally, this arrogant little girl didn't care about Lin Dui's routine beating, she felt that it must be Lin Dui's handwriting that was too ugly, and her brother Lin Hao's handwriting was so indistinguishable that it didn't cause her husband's anger, she was curious about how ugly Lin Dui's words would be, so she secretly glanced at it, and then she had a big pimple in her heart. Lin Duan's handwriting is not ugly at all, after all, he practices on the ground every day, and his pen power is definitely not ugly, and it is simply heaven and earth compared to Lin Hao. The little girl felt very incomprehensible and unfair, so she suddenly stood up when her husband was about to make a routine ring.

Anyway, Lin Du is her half-brother, although she doesn't like this showy guy very much, but as an older sister, she should protect her younger brother, as a young lady of the Lin family, she is to maintain the dignity of the Lin family, and Mr. beating people for no reason is to provoke the dignity of the Lin family, so she stood up and questioned Mr. But the husband didn't answer, but Lin Du turned his head and said to her, "Thank you, sister, I didn't do well, and my husband should beat me." ”

Lin Du felt that he should thank the young lady for her maintenance, but this sincere thank you made Lin Peixuan's eyes widen. The little girl sat back in her seat and turned her face away from him. The beaten people have said this, what else can they do? She was so angry in her heart that she couldn't let her husband break Lin Dui's hand.

Strangely, I don't know if Lin Peixuan's questioning played a role, and on this day, Mr. put down his ring ruler and suspended the routine punishment of Lin Dui. The children wondered if Lin Du would not be beaten again in the future, but the next day he did not come to class, and the maid Liu'er ran over to tell the gentleman that Lin Du was sick.

This time it's not perfunctory, Lin Du is really sick.

In addition to the character learning class, other courses are also gradually unfolding, and the astrological signs and the principles of cultivation are all incorporated into Lin Dui's knowledge system from scratch. He began to understand the world and gradually understood the importance of spiritual practice in this world. In fact, human beings have always been pursuing power, and if there is a Gu Xing, they will gain strength through practice, and without Gu Xing, they will not be able to practice, so they will develop their power with the help of external objects, so people in another world continue to exploit resources to develop science and technology, and establish a scientific and technological civilization based on the use of foreign objects, but the people here do not, their energy is focused on cultivation, and everything is centered on cultivation, for example, if you can fly by yourself, you don't need to build airplanes and rockets.

So in this world, cultivation is the root of everything. However, as his studies deepened, Lin Duan found that not everyone could practice, except for some cultivators who had a higher chance, and those who could practice accounted for less than one-tenth of the total population, which meant that more than 90% of them were congenitally deprived of the opportunity to practice. Of course, Mr. also mentioned that the young masters and ladies of the Hou Mansion do not have to worry about cultivation, because the bloodline of the Huaiqing Hou of the Lin family has special talents, and everyone can practice, but there is a difference between high and low qualifications.

But Lin Dui is not the real Young Master of the Hou Mansion, even if his mother said that he can practice, she still treats him as the missing Lin Dui, but he knows very well in his heart that he is different from the previous young master, and he begins to secretly worry about whether he can practice. On the day when the old gentleman exempted him from the precepts, he learned a deeper "seed theory" and finally confirmed the fact that he could not practice.

When a person is born under the irradiation of the planets, he or she will plant the seeds of the planets in his body in order to have the power given by the planets, which is the "seed theory" in the spiritual world. In other words, if you want to cultivate, you must first be born under the light of Gu Xing, and Lin Dusk, who is from another world, obviously does not have this condition.

He can't practice. This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, not only because spiritual practice is so important, but also because of his special status. The young masters and young ladies of the Hou Mansion can all practice, but he will become the only outlier who can't practice!

In that case, his mother would definitely dislike him. He can not fly away, he can not use all kinds of strange abilities, he can endure the contempt of others, but he is afraid of losing his mother. Finally has a mother who loves him, and he doesn't want to go back to his old days.

Lin Du felt a large stone pressed against his chest, as if he was about to suffocate. When he returned to Yingluo Garden, he didn't practice writing or reading for the first time, locked himself in his room, and couldn't come out of dinner at dinner, allowing those maids and servants to knock on the door again and again outside. Jin Luohua was worried that something would happen to her son, so she decisively ordered someone to break open the door and rush in, but saw Lin Du sitting in the corner of the wall and falling asleep, her face was so pale that she was frighteningly pale, she felt a pain in her heart, and tears flowed down as soon as she "brushed", and she picked up her son and shouted to the people: "Don't go and call the doctor yet!"

After the doctor came to see it, he couldn't tell what was going on, but said that it was a symptom of depression and qi deficiency, and prescribed a few herbal medicines. Instructed the people to withdraw and decoction, Jin Luohua was alone in the room holding her son, I don't know if Lin Du woke up or dreamed, her eyes were closed, her little hands grabbed her clothes, and she said in a daze: "Mom, will you think I'm stupid and don't want me......"

The voice is soft and somewhat hoarse. Jin Luohua's tears flowed down again, and she hugged him tightly in her arms: "Silly child, how could my mother not want you? You will always be your mother's heart, and in your mother's eyes, you are also the smartest child in the world." ”

Lin Dusk stopped moving, and fell asleep again. Jin Luohua fed him a bowl of medicinal soup, and didn't go back to his room, just held him and leaned on the head of the bed, and when he was about to fall asleep in the middle of the night, he felt that his hand was suddenly grabbed tightly by Lin Dui, and he heard him say in a daze: "Mom, I can cook...... Will clean the room, will beat the back...... Don't drive me away......"

Jin Luohua sighed, patted his back gently, and didn't sleep all night.

The next day, Liu Er went to Mr. Ji to ask for leave, because the little master was talking nonsense in a fever and couldn't go to class. The doctor came several times, and kept saying that the child was too heavy and stressed, which led to heart blockage, liver qi stagnation, and became ill for a long time, but this disease appeared in a seven-year-old child, a pampered young master, which made him very puzzled, and it could only be attributed to the heavy schoolwork.

Jin Luohua didn't ask much, just accompanied and took care of his son, and after a few days, Lin Dui finally completely subsided his fever, so he took him to play in the back garden of Lin Mansion. There is an artificial lake covering an area of dozens of acres in the depths of the garden, the mother and son take a flat boat on the artificial lake, the lake water under the boat is blue, reflecting the white clouds, Jin Luohua sat on the side of the boat and watched his son play in the water excitedly, and gently stroked the sparkling water waves with his hand, and suddenly asked: "Xiaodui, you see that the lake water is so clear, why can't we see the bottom of the lake?"

When Lin Du heard this, he lay on the side of the boat and looked into the water very seriously for a while, and found that he couldn't see the bottom of the lake clearly, so he raised his face and smiled at his mother: "Mom, I know, because the lake is too deep!"

Jin Luohua smiled softly and touched his little head: "Yes, because the lake is too deep, no matter how clear the water is, it can hide its secrets at the bottom." The bottom of the lake is its secret, and no one can see it. ”

Seeing that Lin Du didn't speak, just looked at himself quietly with big eyes, Jin Luohua continued: "This is like a person, no matter how simple and kind, he can have his own secrets, but if you want to keep your own secrets, you have to make your heart very deep and big, and you can hold a lot of things without feeling tired. If you can't fit it, you have to give it to his mother. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Luohua reached out and gently touched the left side of Lin Dui's small chest, and asked gently, "Xiaodui, is your heart big enough?"

If your heart isn't big enough, why not share it with your mother?

Lin Du shook his head slowly, looked down at his small breasts, reached out and touched the position of his heart, and said, "But, my mother is here with me." ”

Jin Luohua was stunned, and his eyes were hot. Yes, Mom is in his heart, no matter how big his heart is, that's enough. She also pointed to her left breast with her finger and said softly, "Twilight is also here with Mom, always there, always there." ”
