Chapter 4 The heart of the Tao is initially determined, and the child is fearless
The next day, Li Mu woke up early.
After eating last night, he felt groggy and fell asleep. This night was the most restful sleep he had since the scientific expedition, because he had firmly established the idea of cultivating the Tao in his heart, and although this period of time was bumpy, his state of mind was more clear and quiet, and his distracting thoughts were gone.
After sobering up, Li Mu only felt that his spirit was good, the fatigue of his body and mind was swept away, and he was full of infinite energy. He rolled over and jumped off the edge of the bed as usual, but he didn't expect to hit the top of the bed headlong and smash the top of the sandalwood bed carved with a cloud dragon.
Li Mu's head collided with the top of the bed and made a loud sound, which alarmed the maids outside the door, and when the maids panicked into the room to check, they found Li Mu standing on the bed, touching his head a little at a loss, looking dumbfounded. So the maids also looked at the broken bedtop in a daze, and looked at Li Mu with awe-inspiring eyes.
You know, the top of the bed made of sandalwood is a full three inches thick. A carpenter with great strength chops with an axe, and it takes a long time to chop it solidly. And this son, who looked thin and weak, actually smashed it head-on, but he was unscathed, which shows that most of him is not an ordinary person, but an "immortal". And this "immortal" smashed the top of the bed at this time for some reason, and for some reason he was in a daze here, it was not for them to ask the maids, so the maids could only accompany Li Mu in a daze.
And when Li Mu was muttering puzzled here, someone had already informed He Qiu about the situation. After He Qiu heard the rumor, he was also a little strange, so he smiled with relief and walked to where Li Mu's house was.
He Qiu laughed and walked into Li Mu's room, waking up Li Mu, who was still in a daze.
Li Mu Shili said: "I've seen Brother He, ...... here"
He Qiu smiled: "There's no need to be polite, speaking of which, I haven't asked for your name yet." ”
Li Mu replied: "I don't dare to call my name, my real surname is Li, a famous pastor." ”
"Then I will call you Senior Nephew Li - if you can pass the examination, you will be my official nephew. Presumably, Senior Nephew Li is confused by his sudden gain of great power?" He Qiu said.
"Yes, what else can I ...... Uncle Shi solved my doubts. ”
"Do you remember what I said to you last night?" He Qiu asked with a wink.
Li Mu replied, "Yes." Uncle Shi said that after discovering that I had devoured the spiritual objects of heaven and earth on the outskirts of the city, not only did I not explode and die, but I gained the great benefit of washing the essence and removing the marrow...... Wash the essence and cut the marrow!" Li Mu suddenly realized.
He Qiu smiled slightly.
Li Mu hurriedly asked, "Is it that the essence washing and marrow has improved my physique and given me great strength?"
He Qiu replied: "Yes, but if you think that washing the essence and cutting the essence is so simple, it is a big mistake." ”
Li Mu said sincerely: "Please also ask Uncle He for advice." ”
He Qiu said leisurely: "Ordinary people, the lifespan is not more than a hundred, because of the filth in the body, there are too many accumulations, it is difficult to remove. Once the amount is excessive, it will affect the body's metabolism and growth. When a person is old, the five internal organs are exhausted, the essence is decayed, and one day, the turbidity and filth in the body can no longer be removed, and when the time comes, it is the time of death. And after you swallow the elixir this time, and get the power of the elixir to wash the meridians and cleanse your muscles and bones, your meridians have more than doubled compared to before, and your muscles and bones are also several times tougher than before under the power of the elixir. These are the benefits that you can slowly realize later, and the more direct benefits are your great strength. But if you want to say that the biggest benefit of washing the essence is still in the longevity. After you washed the essence of the marrow this time, your physique is far from being comparable to that of ordinary people, and your body's metabolic ability has been at least doubled compared with ordinary people, that is, the speed of your body's failure at this time has dropped to about the average of ordinary people. And your natural lifespan is at least one hundred and fifty years. ”
After Li Mu listened to He Qiu's unhurried explanation, he couldn't hide his excitement on his face, so he raised his hand and thanked him: "Thank you, Uncle for solving your doubts." ”
He Qiu waved his hand, and continued: "You don't have to thank me, you will know this knowledge after entering the door." You don't have to get too excited, a person like you who has lived a hundred and fifty years old has only just touched the threshold of a cultivator. The real cultivation of great power is already to break through the limit of lifespan and live the same life as heaven and earth. Speaking of this, He Qiu's eyes also flashed with a hint of yearning.
He Qiu put away the look in his eyes, and saw Li Musu standing aside, with a respectful look on his face, and a posture of listening to his explanation, he was suddenly in a good mood, and his impression of this young man changed a lot, and the previous trace of unhappiness and jealousy disappeared.
He sighed and said, "I have spread the news that I have found you to the door, and the messenger from the door should arrive in Yedu in the next few days and come to take you away." Then you will enter the door with him. If you can pass the assessment and become a disciple of your own sect, you must be respectful and respectful when you see your elders, and you must not have the slightest slackness, but if you meet a disciple whose status is lower than your own, you must not lower your tone and make him despise him. In addition, I also revealed the news that you have been cleansed and purified, but I did not say that you directly devoured the spiritual objects of heaven and earth - this matter will eventually arouse the envy of some narrow-minded people. You'd better not take the initiative to mention this matter, if an elder asks, you will say that it is just the power of the elixir left by your ancestors. Do you remember?"
Li Mu knew that he was sincere in mentioning something, so he put away his slack heart and replied seriously: "Yes, my nephew remembered." ”
He Qiu said again: "I haven't asked where your family is, if you go to the door, unless you are successful in cultivation, you will never have a chance to meet them again." Do you want to take advantage of this break and rush home to say goodbye?"
A look of struggle flashed on Li Mu's face, and then sadness flashed, and tears rained down. He was a seven-foot man, but he fell to the ground and wept silently: "My parents and family passed away together a few days ago. There are more than 30 members of the family, all of whom have disappeared, and none of them survived. ”
He Qiu thought for a while, his face showed an unbearable look, and asked, "Are you from Gui'an County?"
Li Mu hissed: "Yes, my nephew grew up in Gui'an since childhood, and his parents, relatives, and close friends are all there. And now after a '**', they all left me. In this world, the nephew is already a lonely ghost. My nephew is dead, but please ask my uncle to sue me, how can he be a master of the Tao and lose his conscience so much and anger innocent mortals?"
He Qiu was silent for a long time, and then replied in a pitiful tone: "I don't know the specific matter, but the elite has been sent to investigate this matter." But I can tell you for sure that this time it is a rare predecessor in Gui'an, and I am afraid that you will not be able to reach its height after exhausting your life. This or two masters are likely to be the most powerful cultivators in this realm, or they are masters from another world. In short, if you want to avenge your parents and friends, I'm afraid there is no hope in this life. ”
Li Mu got up, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said word by word: "Musheng is a son of man, and his parents cannot be filial to his knees, and now his parents are dead, if he can't avenge his parents, in order to sacrifice his soul in the sky, how is it different from beasts? Even if the enemy is the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor, how dare I take half a step back, only one dead ear, and why am I afraid? Thank you Uncle Shi for telling me, Mu Goodbye." After Li Mu finished speaking, he bent down deeply and solemnly saluted He Qiu.
He Qiu's face was complicated. His feelings for Li Mu went from jealousy at the beginning, to appreciation just now, and then to regret at this time, with a little admiration.
The indomitable and death-oriented temperament of this young man made his expression a little dazed. Isn't this the same person you used to be? Not afraid of the sky, fearless, this is exactly the pure heart that cultivators should always uphold. However, his cultivation qualifications are here, and he is destined to be on the road of cultivating immortals, and he can't go too far. This is the main reason why he indulges in the material desires of the world all day long, otherwise, who does not have a heart to yearn for eternal life in a cultivator? He was aroused by Li Mu's words and felt regret in his heart, but he was a little reluctant to face Li Mu. After leaving only one sentence of "Hello for yourself, mourning and changing", he drifted away.
Li Mu was in the independent room, thinking about the unfinished meaning of He Qiu's words. He was originally an extremely intelligent person, but he was bound by the rules and regulations of scientific research for many years, and he was never able to really think. But now is not yesterday, he no longer cares about scientific research and even the world, he knows very well how his future path should go, and he also understands where He Qiu's regret comes from: I am afraid that the power of his enemy is so great that even He Qiu, the teacher of a country, does not dare to be a little disrespectful.
But he was a dead man, but now he was able to live for unknown reasons, and he was told that he could cultivate. Since you can cultivate the Tao, no matter how far away you are, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, then there is a chance to chase.
He has always been resolute, and under the ups and downs of this experience, nothing can shake his heart. This heart desires, only revenge. Therefore, he only has an indomitable momentum in his heart, and he has already set the only goal in this life: to cultivate the Dao, to cultivate the Dao, to cultivate the Dao, to cultivate the Dao! Until one day he can find out the murderer and reach the level of stabbing the enemy, so as to comfort the souls of his parents in heaven.
Li Mu pushed open the door, walked outside, and looked up at the sky. I saw that the sky was cloudless, and the sun was already hanging high, still selflessly shining on everyone in the world.
Li Mu was in a trance, remembering that dream-like experience, he suddenly lost his awe of the sun high above.
People in the world are not natural creatures, they are born equal, so why are there class differences? It is nothing more than the size of the power, and the mortal who holds the power can be called the emperor and the emperor, and the cultivator who holds the power can be called the immortal Dao ancestor.
The death of his parents made him deeply feel his weakness, and also made him understand a truth: as long as you have strength, what you do is right, even if it is pointed at by thousands of people and scolded by thousands of people, in the face of absolute power, it is just a senseless complaint. Only by mastering power can you truly control your own destiny, and even, the destiny of others!
Since then, Li Mu's heart to the Tao has been as solid as a rock and has not changed.
