Vol 2 Chapter 171 I
“Just ask-
“In the ancient three worlds, immortals and gods are looming, practitioners are high above, mortals are like ants, immortals and gods are powerful in a fight, they can cause life to be wiped out and grief everywhere, but merit and sin can only be considered in one thought, no matter how high the merit is, it is useless, and no matter how deep the sin is. Punishment, between heaven and earth, those who know the white and keep the black, those who claim to be extraordinary, those who treat them like a dog…the list goes on and on.
“In such a world, how should mortals … protect themselves?”
An indifferent voice sounded deep in the hearts of many heavenly almighties, reverberating in their minds, as if seeking the real answer.
You have the power to follow the original heart, and replied:
“Only by persevering in self-improvement and following the path of cultivation, can you protect yourself, wander freely in the world, and see for a long time.”
There is also a great man who replied:
“Even if it is difficult to achieve great success, it can still be attached to the strong, placed under the eaves of various channels, and it can also protect itself.”
The indifferent voice asked again: “Among the many mortals in this world, those with poor cultivation aptitude are the majority. If they can’t worship the door wall of the various dao lineages, what should they do?”
Many great masters were silent for a while, and one great master replied:
“Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are regarded as dogs. The way of heaven treats everything equally. Whoever has a short life and who has a long life, everything is fate, and there is nothing to do.”
The even more powerful sneered and said:
“The sky and the earth are infinite, so all things are weak and weak, so all things are sinful, and weakness is inherently sin.”
The indifferent voice asked: “If the short-lived person is your own, or your relatives, how can you be so calm?”
Your great powers are silent again.
All of a sudden, the great power replied:
“Know the male, guard the female, be the stream of the world, know the white, guard the black, be the style of the world, know the glory, guard the shame, be the valley of the world, this is the eternal virtue, the way of man.”
The indifferent voice sighed: “Return to Park, don’t fight for it…why is it easier said than done?”
Less leaning, there is another great able to answer:
“Heaven and earth have no heart, life is born from birth, disasters are eliminated, and fate cannot be changed. There should be sages who take their own hearts as the heart of heaven, establish destiny for all living beings, and legislate for heaven and earth.”
There was a hint of a smile in the indifferent voice: “Of course, Emperor Wa has the merit of creating people, and he has also made up the sky and established the four poles, the most good and holy, these words are naturally what my heart wants, but the heart of a sage is also When the non-heaven’s heart is ultimately beyond the reach of strength, it is only by setting the rules of the heavens and rectifying the heart of the heavens that it is a sure-fire strategy.”
Suddenly, a great master asked:
“Heaven’s rules are supposed to be fair and selfless, and to set such a rule for heaven and earth, isn’t it partial to mortals? Isn’t it unfair?”
The indifferent voice said: “Favoritism? The rise and fall of all spirits is common sense. There is no constant strength, no constant weakness, and the number of fate is impermanent, but practice is against fate. Obedience leads to ordinary people, and vice versa. Immortals. In the matter of the principles of heaven, in the past, the Tao of Heaven was incomplete, causing all spirits to become chaotic, and it should have been supplemented by the Tao of Heaven and re-balanced, so why would you be biased?”
A great man asked:
“The great calamity of foreigners is to rectify the heart of heaven? The slaughter of foreign demons is to make up for the rules of heaven?”
The indifferent voice said softly: “Tiandao should be selfless, but now Tianxin has selfishness, and it has just caused a catastrophe. It is useless to talk about it. You will know it after you experience it yourself.”
…
…
The sky is azure blue, as blue as a wash.
‘I’ stared blankly at the sky, lay on the grass, and murmured, “Who am I…?”
“Zhi… Brother Zhishui, you… what’s wrong with you?” A slightly stuttering girl’s voice sounded next to her, her voice was quite childish and sweet.
“Stop the water?”
I gradually came back to my senses and retrieved a familiar memory: “Oh… I’m Lin Zhishui… I’m the snake catcher from Snake Village…”
I turned my head to look, and saw a young girl in gray and white clothes sitting next to her. Her face was a little immature, but she could already tell that she was a beautiful embryo. A pair of clear and ignorant eyes looked at him with some worry, stammering. “Brother Zhishui, you… are you all right?”
“It’s okay, Xiaochan, I just fell asleep, let’s go back.”
I stood up with a smile, slapped the blades of grass off my body, picked up the cage with the snake beside it, pinched the tip of Xiao Chan’s nose, and said with a smile, “Thanks to you today, I caught enough of it so quickly. Snake, Uncle Liang will be very happy, you are really amazing.”
Xiaochan’s pretty face was slightly red, and she murmured: “I don’t know… what’s going on… I can understand what the snake speaks…”
“Maybe you have the aptitude for ‘Qi refining’?”
I smiled and said: “I heard Lu Lao said in the village that the immortal masters in the legend are actually masters of qi refining and cultivation. The adult who often comes to our village to collect snakes, I heard that he is one of them. Immortal Master, and another more powerful Immortal Master apprentice, you are so special, maybe you can also refine Qi!”
“Qi refining…Is there anything good?” Xiaochan said in confusion.
“It is said that after cultivating, you can live for a long, long time, and you can also fly to the sky, and even fly to the heavens to meet the legendary Empress Nuwa and the Jade Emperor.” I couldn’t help but said yearningly.
“Jade Emperor?” Xiaochan looked at the sky and said, “In… the sky?”
I nodded, looked up at the blue sky, and said, “The sky is so high, only a powerful Immortal Master can go up.”
Xiaochan snorted and whispered, “Brother Zhishui… and me… let’s practice with me.”
“I don’t have the qualifications to cultivate.” I said gloomily: “Grandpa has already asked an immortal master to see my qualifications, and the immortal master said that I am only a mortal person, and I have no qualifications, and I can’t even ‘enlighten the spirit’. ”
“Brother Zhishui… has no qualifications, so I must also… have no qualifications.” Xiaochan said quickly.
“What if there is?” I rubbed her head and said, “If you can become an Immortal Master, wouldn’t I have a good Immortal Master friend?”
Xiaochan shook her head cautiously and said, “I don’t want to be a fairy teacher…”
“Why?” I was startled.
Xiaochan blushed and said in a low voice, “I heard that… the immortal master has to… retreat to practice. If I become an immortal teacher, wouldn’t it be… I won’t be able to see you…”
I was stunned for a moment, then I couldn’t help knocking on her head, and said angrily, “You stupid, when you finish your practice, you can pass on your skills to me. I heard that there is a way to practice with two people. , it also has to be male and female, we are just right, after you cultivate, won’t you be able to let me become an immortal teacher together?”
“Two-person practice?” Xiaochan was stunned for a moment, then blinked her eyes, nodded her head forcefully, and said firmly, “Two-person practice!”
I couldn’t help but narrowed my eyes and smiled, and said, “I just said casually, I heard that there is only one person with the aptitude for qi refining, so don’t think too much.”
“Oh…” Xiaochan nodded her head.
At this moment, I felt a cold touch on my neck, and a small black-scaled snake that was only slightly thicker than my thumb burrowed out of my collar, climbed to the top of my head, and spit out snake letters hissing.
“This little guy can sleep better than me.”
I grabbed this little snake off my head and asked, “Why don’t you grow up? I’ve been feeding you for several years, and it’s always been like this.”
The black-scaled snake shook its head as if spiritually.
“You actually understand what I’m saying, are you a monster?” I knocked on its head and smiled again: “But I heard that monsters are all very big, and snake monsters are not only thick, but also very long. How can you be a monster like this little guy?”
The black-scaled snake tilted its head, as if ignoring him, and hissed twice towards Xiao Chan.
Xiaochan understood the snake language, so she said, “Brother Zhishui, Xiaoyou… Said that you are uncomfortable in your arms, think of me… sleeping in your arms.”
I sighed and handed the black-scaled snake to Xiaochan.
The little snake immediately got in along the neckline, coiled comfortably inside, and continued to sleep.
I looked at Xiaochan’s growing chest, and nodded involuntarily, and said, “No wonder Xiaoyou likes you, you seem to be a lot stronger recently, your chest looks much bigger than mine, but it’s a little too much. It’s soft, I will deform when I squeeze it, look at how strong my chest is, Xiaochan, you need to exercise more.”
“I’ve practiced… but my chest has always been… soft and not firm…” Xiaochan looked aggrieved.
I thought for a while, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I said, “This… Maybe it’s because your body is too weak, you have to use external force, look at the third uncle, he often has people beat him with wooden sticks, just to make his body weak. Stronger, you will have to exercise your chest more in the future.”
Xiaochan nodded ~www.readmtl.com~ and said, “Then… Brother Zhishui, help me.”
“Leave it to me, make sure you are sturdy.” I patted my chest and said confidently.
While chatting with Xiaochan, I walked along the edge of the mountain stream with the snake cage behind me, walking towards the stockade, and returned to the front of the snake village in a short time.
The man guarding the gate of the village smiled and asked, “Zhishui, how many snakes did Xiaochan and Xiaochan catch today?”
“Of course it’s full.”
I smiled smugly and shook the snake cage behind me.
“So powerful?” The gatekeeper smiled in surprise: “That’s great, before tonight at the latest, the Snake Immortal Master will come again to collect snakes, this month’s weight is still not enough, and the village owner has been urging people to go out. Catch snakes, if you catch a cage and come back, the village owner will definitely be very happy.”
“No matter how happy my father is, there is no reward for him.”
I curled my lips and said, “He also said that he would send me to a private school in the city to study, what is there to study?”
The gatekeeper smiled and said, “Then why don’t your father marry Xiaochan to you?”
“Marry me? Is it the same as my mother marrying me? I don’t want it. My father bullies my mother every night and makes her cry, so I won’t bully Xiao Chan.” I hummed: “And maybe Xiaochan has the aptitude to refine qi and can become an immortal master, when Xiaochan and I practice together, we can also become an immortal teacher, why should I bully her?”
“Brother Zhishui…” Xiaochan looked at me with a moved face.
The corner of the gatekeeper’s mouth twitched slightly: “Dual cultivation? Double… cultivation?”
“Well, Shuangxiu.” Xiaochan nodded solemnly.
“Don’t talk about it.” I waved my hand and took Xiaochan towards the village, “Xiaochan has gained weight recently, so I’ll go back and help Xiaochan exercise first.”
“Are you fat?” The gatekeeper looked confused.
