Chapter 50: Building the Foundation
It didn't take a few days for the two to arrive at Denanqu City, it was in the morning, the pedestrians on the street were constantly coming and going, and the street hawkers were one after another, and there was a lot of noise. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe two of them didn't care about the bustle and prosperity of the city, and walked straight to the alley where Xia Rou lived.
The alley where Xia Rou lives is called Xianning Lane, and it is indeed much quieter. The two entered the alley, and they didn't go far before they arrived at the house where Xia Rou lived.
I don't know when the house has been repaired, the original old wooden door has been replaced with a new one, and you can still vaguely smell the fragrance of the wood, which is good wood. The tiles on the eaves are black and shiny, and they have also been replaced.
Zhang Ye's eyes flickered, and he gently clicked the copper ring on the door, and he could hear a gentle response from inside. The door opened, and Xia Rou couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Zhang Ye.
I haven't seen her for a few months, Zhang Ye is still the same as before, but Xia Rou seems to have changed drastically, she is wearing a blue cloth dress, light black trousers, plain clothes, but showing her plump and beautiful figure, her face is full of shock, and her eyes are shining with surprise.
Xia Rou smiled gently and said, "You're here." ”
Zhang Ye nodded and followed Xia Rou in. After the entrance, there is a yard about ten steps in size, and then a few huts. The interior of the house has been refurbished, and although it is not luxurious, it is not as simple as it was originally bought.
Zhang Ye and the two walked into the house with him, and saw Xia Qing sitting at the table writing, his expression was calm, but there was a lot more agility in his eyes, he turned his head and saw Zhang Ye, he was slightly stunned, and a look of surprise flashed on his face, and he was about to come forward, but he was stopped by the person next to him.
This person was wearing a robe, his hair was gray, and although his mouth was stern, his eyes were full of love, and he was none other than Elder Xia of Jiyun Pavilion. Xia Qing was drunk by him, his face changed slightly, and he sat at the table again, but his eyes involuntarily moved to this side.
Zhang Ye and the others looked surprised and bowed.
Elder Xia saw Zhang Ye and the two, nodded slightly, and sternly told Xia Qing to write, Xia Qing had to reluctantly turn his head again.
Zhang Ye secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that he doesn't have to worry about the life of this mother and son in the future.
At noon, Xia Rou made a table of good dishes, which made Zhang Ye feel satisfied. The laughter and harmony during the banquet made Zhang Ye's heart full of warmth.
In the afternoon, Xia Qing didn't have to practice calligraphy, although he was happy about Zhang Ye's arrival, but he didn't have much to say to Zhang Ye, as soon as there was a child outside the door, he ran out.
Elder Xia sorted out the pen, ink and paper that Xia Qing was writing, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were full of smiles.
Elder Xia asked Zhang Ye why the two of them came here, and Zhang Ye probably told him about Master Hua Xiaoyan, and didn't talk about the important things of Falling Soul Valley, Elder Xia nodded slightly, didn't ask more, and didn't give any good advice, no one can do anything about finding a needle in a haystack.
Elder Xia suddenly looked at Zhang Ye with a cautious expression, and said, "Zhang Ye, you saved the lives of my daughter, mother and son, this kind of kindness is really difficult to repay, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me." ”
Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, stunned by the meaning of Elder Xia's words, Elder Xia had made a promise.
Zhang Ye stood up and bowed to Elder Xia. Elder Xia calmly accepted this salute, and regained his gentle demeanor, with a flash of inspiration in his hand, he took out a palm-sized wooden box, handed it to Zhang Ye, and said, "If you have completed your Qi training, you will be able to build a foundation in the last step, and this elixir is just right for you." ”
Zhang Ye was stunned again, took the pill, and saluted again. Elder Xia instructed the two of them in their cultivation again, and both of them benefited a lot.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was getting dark, several people had dinner together, Xia Rou's house had no spare empty rooms, and Zhang Ye and the two had to stay in the street inn.
The alley was remote and there was no inn, so the two stayed at an inn near the street. After entering the room, Zhang Ye took out the elixir.
Zhang Ye opened the wooden box, and inside it was a pale yellow elixir, the size of a little thumb, shining with a faint fragrance. The name of the pill is Zhuji Dan, as the name suggests, it is the pill used in Zhuji.
Zhang Ye calmed his mind, and when he took the pill, he felt the spiritual power in his body tumbling violently, and it seemed that some changes had been born, turning into a more mysterious existence, flowing in his body.
The mysterious spiritual power flowed through the center of his eyebrows, Zhang Ye shook his whole body again, and a more mysterious change was produced in the divine soul, as if a drop of water dissolved into the sea, and as if a small tree had finally grown from a weak young branch to a towering tree, a powerful feeling was born from the divine soul.
The mysterious spiritual power flowed through the whole body, and all kinds of feelings were used in my heart, and what I had never thought of in the past was suddenly realized, and what I had never thought of before also poured into my heart......
The mysterious spiritual power dissipated after circulating in his body for a week, and Zhang Ye was already sweating profusely, looking tired, but his eyes were full of essence.
After resting for a while, the spiritual power in Zhang Ye's body recovered, and he closed his eyes again and operated the spiritual power in his body. Although Zhang Ye's cultivation has not changed in the slightest at the moment, his perception in his heart is different.
I saw a faint light flickering on his body, and the spiritual power in his body surged, but after a while, he returned to his previous mysterious state, but this time it was all on his own, and he did not use the power of the elixir.
That mysterious spiritual power circulated in the body for a week, and another week...... The glimmer of light on Zhang Ye's body kept flashing, and his momentum gradually climbed.
After most of the night, Zhang Yecai stopped again, his expression was full, his eyes flashed, and he had already built a foundation and cultivated. He stood up and found that at some point, his body was covered with a thin layer of black substance.
Zhang Ye was happy in his heart and laughed. The foundation building period is the foundation of cultivation, and only when you step into this realm can you really embark on the path of cultivation, and you can have a life span of 180 years, and most of the spells that cannot be practiced when practicing qi can be learned at this time.
Zhang Ye walked out of the inn through the window. The Nanqu River passed through the city, and there were many streams, but in a few moments, Zhang Ye arrived in front of a small river, jumped into the river, and cleaned his body.
There is already a lot of chill in the river in autumn, but Zhang Yexiu is in his body, and he is not afraid of this cold. Zhang Ye washed his body, went to the shore, and hurried back.
Suddenly, a low cry came from the river, Zhang Ye was stunned, stopped, and found that the sound was coming from the house on the other side of the river.
Zhang Ye had just broken through the foundation building cultivation, and in addition to being happy in his heart, he was also a little complacent, how many people could have built the foundation and cultivated at the age of thirteen? At this time, when he heard the cry from the other side of the river, he was not vigilant in the past, but he was curious.
Zhang Ye swept towards the other side of the river, and just wanted to jump into the house, but suddenly saw that the crying sound came from the top of the wall, and a woman was sitting on the wall.
Zhang Ye took a few steps closer and saw that the woman was sitting on the wall, neatly dressed, and carrying a burden on her back, not like a thief, because the thief did not have that kind of luxury, and he didn't dare to cry on the wall, but because the wall was too high, he didn't dare to jump off the rich lady.
Zhang Ye took a few steps forward and said, "Do you need my help?"
"Huh?" the woman was startled, and suddenly she shook her body and fell off the wall.
Zhang Ye's figure flickered, and he suddenly arrived under the wall and caught the woman. The woman violently broke free from Zhang Ye's grasp, leaned against the wall, and said, "Who are you?"
The woman looked up at Zhang Ye, Xu Shi found that Zhang Ye was just a teenager, Xu Shi woke up to Zhang Ye's Fang Cai was saving himself, and said, "Thank you." ”
Zhang Ye asked, "What are you doing here, why are you crying?"
"I ......" the woman paused, but slowly squatted down in the corner, "I want to run away from home." ”
Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, looked up at the mansion in front of him, although he couldn't look at it all, but it was enough to see that this mansion was quite large, not smaller than the mansion of the Zhang family in Liangcheng.
Zhang Ye turned his head to look at this woman again, and realized in his heart that this woman must have committed the temper of the eldest lady. Thinking of this, Zhang Ye felt a slight pain in his heart.
Putting his thoughts aside, Zhang Ye asked again: "Why did you run away from home?
The woman was stunned for a moment, raised her head, the tears on her face were still clearly visible, she shook her head, her expression was gloomy.
Seeing her such a pitiful appearance, Zhang Ye couldn't help but move slightly in his heart, and said, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
The woman was stunned again, looked up at Zhang Ye, and said again, "Thank you." She got up and walked away from the wall, approaching the river.
Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, and a thought suddenly popped up in her heart, didn't she want to jump into the river?
The woman walked into the river, and the cold water flowed past her knees, and it was evident that she was shaking all over, but her feet were not stopping.
Zhang Ye's face changed slightly, and his body was already behind the woman, and he pulled her back to the shore. Even if a woman insists, she is just an ordinary person, how can she be as good as Zhang Ye's cultivation.
The woman couldn't resist, and was taken back to the shore by Zhang Ye, her body trembling, and she burst into tears again at some point.
Zhang Ye was inexplicably angry in his heart, and he said: "Why are you looking for death? Do you know how many people want to live but can't live, do you know how many people are homesick and have no home......
The woman sat on the ground with her head bowed, her body still shivering. Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, his hand flashed, and a fire was born out of thin air.
Looking at the woman who was crying, Zhang Ye only felt inexplicable in his heart, thinking to himself what he was doing? Could it be that by breaking through the foundation building and cultivation, even the heart can be changed.
The woman said, "Thank you, you are a good person." ”
Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment and said, "What's unpleasant about you?"
The woman said: "My father and mother promised me to someone else, but I already belong in my heart." I don't want to marry someone I don't like, but my parents' fate is difficult, so I think I might as well run away from home!"
"But when I climbed over the wall, I suddenly realized that I couldn't practice, my physique was weak, I didn't even have the courage to jump off the wall, where could I go, and I could live a few days away from home. ”
"My lover is also a cultivator, he is a restless person by nature, he has run away without a trace, where can I find him? Even if I find him, one day, I am old, and he is still in his prime, but how can he hold on. But I can't stay with him, I might as well die!"
Zhang Ye's heart was also suddenly depressed, the so-called separation between immortals and mortals is like this. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he asked, "What's your lover's name?"
The woman sighed, but still said, "His name is Xun Qiu." ”
