Chapter 27: Ling Xiao Sect
More than 100 children, in this small town, seem to have come to the land of bliss.
Here, there are indescribably many delicious foods, and when you take a bite, the whole mouth is delicious, and even after a long time after eating, long enough to last until the next meal, the mouth is sweet, and there is no trace of that bitterness.
So much so that many children swallowed their saliva.
Swallow saliva not before and during eating, but after eating.
It is okay to say that it is an aftertaste.
It is okay to say that the mouth secretes saliva instinctively because it is stimulated by taste.
It should be said that these two factors are intertwined.
Here, there are colorful clothes.
Poor child, when he came here, he learned that there are more clothes than shorts, not only undershirts.
Some are worn on the head, some are wrapped around the neck, some are short-sleeved and long-sleeved, and what is even more outrageous is that everyone can wear something on their feet!
They also know that it's called shoes.
On the streets of the town, there were people coming and going, and one day at noon, a family of three passed by. Two adults, holding a little girl.
That little girl is so good-looking, better than she ever dreamed of!
Her skin was whiter, whiter than the white clouds of heaven;
Her hair was long, then braided into small bundles, each with a different color ribbon wrapped around it. As she walked, her hair shook and flicked, and the ribbons tossed and flung together;
She wore a white shirt that looked soft at first glance, and a red coat was put over the shirt.
She wore a pair of ankle-length pants underneath that were black.
She wore a pair of shoes on her feet, and the skin on those feet was also white, and the tops of her feet and toes were exposed, and when she walked, her toes were cocked.
Even, she wore rings on her two wrists, which were blue and purple, and as she walked, her arms with those two rings were also dangling beside her.
......
First, a child standing by the door saw the little girl.
He stared dumbfounded.
Then two, three, four......
Then dozens of children crowded around the door and window, watching in amazement.
The little girl walked with her head tilted up and smiled and talked to her parents.
The laughter faded away.
After a long time, after coming back to their senses, many children lowered their heads and looked at themselves for the first time, and this look was also a long time.
......
They waited in the town for four or five days.
Four or five days later, the town was populated by a lot of people from outside.
These people, young or old, male or female, all look like big shots.
More than 100 children were lined up in the large courtyard and walked in front of them one by one.
The adult who brought them out was talking in front of them.
By the end of the night, for the first time, more than a hundred of their children from the island had been separated.
In the courtyard, Xu Guangling and seven other children held hands.
"Let's go!"
With a clear sound, all the children's bodies rose into the air.
Some children exclaimed, but they all forcibly held back as soon as they instinctively got up.
Then, they didn't feel anything, but they heard the whistling of the wind in their ears. I don't know how long it was, but in the middle of the night, they landed in another empty courtyard, and there were things hanging on the walls on both sides of the courtyard, which illuminated the courtyard as bright as daytime.
After a few moments, the eight children sat cross-legged on the ground, one by one.
And in front of them, the old man who had flown them here spoke to them:
"Children, from today onwards, you are the people of my Lingxiao Sect!"
"Do you want to learn to fly?"
"If you want to learn, then you can practice well. ”
......
A dreamy night passed, and from the next day, a new life, a very different life from the island and a completely different life from that town, unfolded in the lives of these children.
The children on the island are illiterate.
So the beginning of their so-called "practice" began with literacy.
But it was not only the eight children who learned to read and write, but also many children from other places, and there were more than 100 of them together.
It was another unknown old man who told them.
"Today, let's learn two words, 'immortality'. ”
One by one, the children sat cross-legged on the ground, while the old man was holding something white and writing on a large black board.
"Come, read with me. ”
"Come, write with me. ”
Each child has a small stick by his side and a wooden plate filled with fine sand.
Half an hour later.
"Can everyone read and write?"
"No, raise your hands. ”
After a short while, the four children timidly raised their hands, followed by a dozen more children raising their hands in unison.
"Come on, let's learn again. ”
After this time, the seven children sat down.
Again.
All the children did, and they all sat down.
The old man had a good temper and was always smiling.
"Do any of you know what these two words mean?
Three more stood up at once.
"Come!" the old man pointed to one of the fat men.
"Immortality is to live for a long, long time, two hundred years and three hundred years!"
"Come!" the old man pointed to another child.
"To live forever is to live for a long time, to live longer than 10,000 years!"
"You are talking nonsense!" Before the old man could say anything, the little fat man just now was gone, "You are nonsense! How can people live so long! No one can live so long!"
"Ahem. ”
The old man coughed slightly.
The little fat man shut up.
"Come!" the old man pointed to the last child who had just stood up.
"To live forever is to not die, not to die at any time. ”
That's it for the day's lectures.
Very short.
The children were disbanded and led.
First decide where to stay, and then tell them where to eat.
Four people lived in one room, and the eight children who came from the island were completely separated.
The place where the lecture is held in front.
After more than a hundred children left, the four-year-old man walked into the courtyard, and then bowed to the old man in unison, "Master!"
"Hmm. The smile that the old man had been hanging on his face before retracted at this time, he responded lightly, and then said, "Guangyuan, tell me, what is your understanding of 'immortality'?"
"Master, immortality is not eternal life, so immortality is not immortal at all times. ”
"Immortals live longer than ordinary people, and as for how much they grow, whether they live for 200 years, 300 years, or 1,000 years or 1,000 years, depends on the level of cultivation. ”
The boy named Guangyuan said this.
"Then if the cultivation level is high enough, can you live for 10 million years, 10,000,000 years?" the old man asked.
