The only way

Chapter 658

The first summer is still clear and peaceful, and the herbs have not stopped.

In the midsummer of July, the sky is blue and blue, with a faint orange color, without a trace of cloud, the green leaves on the branches of the small courtyard are tinged with green, and the clean bluestone slabs are hot from the sun.

Under the trellis of wisterias, the trellises of wisterias cover a cool place.

An eleven or twelve-year-old boy sat cross-legged on the smooth ground, with his hands imprinted, his eyes closed, his breathing was long and regular, his back was straight, and there seemed to be an inexplicable charm between his breaths.

On one side, there is a young woman lying leisurely on a bamboo chair, holding a round fan full of lotus flowers in her hand, fanning the wind every now and then, also closing her eyes, as if taking a leisurely nap.

Feeling that the spiritual power in the small courtyard was somewhat active, and the idle spiritual power floating in the air was rising and falling with the young man's breathing, Ling Chu, who was fanning the round fan, quietly opened his eyelids.

Cultivating the Tao is not an easy task, just meditating in meditation requires a lot of patience.

What is samadhi, what is meditation.

The place that can make the mind focus on one place can be called samadhi.

Entering concentration requires keeping people relaxed, adjusting breathing, and getting rid of distracting thoughts, so as to achieve a state that retains consciousness but has no desires or desires.

This is very difficult for most people. Close your eyes and keep awake without other thoughts. It is not difficult for a while, but the difficulty is to keep it going.

Entering samadhi and meditating are somewhat consistent.

It's all about breathing, relaxing.

It has been more than two months since Li Xianxian practiced in the meditation state, and only then can he touch the threshold of meditation.

After meditating for half an hour as usual, Li Xianxian woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that his master was fanning the wind for a while, and there was a plate of chilled spirit fruit on the small table beside him.

After living together for more than two months, Li Xianxian obviously already has a deep understanding of some habits of his master.

Although he is a monk, some aspects of his living habits are very casual. In terms of basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, the most important thing is food.

Moreover, the monk can obviously eat bigu, but his master, whenever he encounters delicious food, he will never miss it.

For example.

I saw the woman in front of me covered half of her face with a round fan, raised her eyes slightly, looked at the sky through the gap between the vines, cleared her throat, "Xianxian, the weather in July is hot, It’s so hot, I miss Su Hezhai’s jelly. It’s clear, ice-cold, and sprinkled with a layer of sour fruit juice. It’s best to add a layer of sweet lingsha. It's wonderful."

"There is also the Guifang drink from Guifangji, the finely ground smoothie, and the sweet and sour drink."

"There is also the roast duck in Beicheng. I don't know what kind of wood it is roasted. The skin is crispy, the meat is delicate, and there is a faint fruity aroma in the mouth. It is sour, sweet and spicy when eaten with their sauce. It’s also appetizing, although it’s a bit tiresome to eat in summer, but it’s a must when paired with jelly fruit and Guifang drink.”

Suhezhai’s jelly, Guifangji’s Guifangyin, Beicheng’s roast duck.

As soon as Li Xianxian heard it, he knew it in his heart.

"Master, wait a moment, the disciple will go and buy it for the master."

The little apprentice is on the way, and Lingchu is lying on the bamboo chair with a smile on his face. In fact, as an apprentice, his cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the past two months. It is really a rare progress that frying, steaming and cooking can be done now.

But progress is one thing, and whether it tastes good is another.

For Lingchu, an old glutton who was fed by Sangzi and had his tongue in his mouth, he could only be considered ordinary, he could watch it, and he would not eat it if he could.

Fortunately, this capital city of Liguo is the capital of a country after all, and the restaurants and shops that can establish a foothold here all have such unique skills, and they can still catch Lingchu's eyes a little bit.

Seeing the apprentice salute to him, he went into the kitchen with a bamboo basket familiarly, opened the door and went out, Lingchu, who was lying on the rocking chair leisurely, squinted his eyes and smiled slightly.

Li Xianxian was carrying a bamboo basket, and as soon as he walked out of the small courtyard, he ran into his neighbor who lived in the same alley.

It was a little girl about his age, dressed in ordinary commoner clothes, cleanly washed, with a healthy blush on her pretty face, sitting under the threshold to enjoy the shade, holding a melon in her hand, the moment she saw Li Xianxian, a pair of The bright almond eyes suddenly became brighter.

"Brother Li! This is the delicious watermelon my mother just fished out of the well. Would you like to try it? It's sweet and cool." Always be a little more forgiving.

Although Li Xianxian is also dressed in commoner clothes now, but with a handsome face, coupled with the noble demeanor he has cultivated in his childhood, the indifferent appearance he has cultivated in the past two months, for the girls in the alley, he is really a rare good-looking brother.

Although the girl in front of him is a neighbor, Li Xianxian never eats from someone he doesn't know well.

Although he didn't eat, Li Xianxian sincerely thanked the other party for his kindness, "Thank you, sister of the Yuan family, but I have to go out, so it's inconvenient to bring things.

Yuan Erya lowered her head in disappointment, but remembered something, and said with sparkling eyes, "Then I can wait here for Brother Li to come back, and I will leave a piece of the sweetest and reddest piece for Brother Li."

Li Xianxian smiled politely, but was about to refuse, so Yuan Erya said again, "I can leave an extra piece for Brother Li, and give it to my brother's master."

Although the residents in the alley thought that the new neighbors who moved in looked like sisters and brothers, the other party called them master and apprentice, which really puzzled them, but if they said they were master and apprentice, they could only be master and apprentice.

However, the master and apprentice lived in the ghost house for several months without any harm, which still made the neighbors talk about it, and even those who were hesitant to buy a house at a low price even regretted it.

If I knew it was okay, I would buy it!

When mentioning Master, Li Xianxian paused for a moment, but still refused.

He can buy a melon by himself and put it in the well to splash, so the master will definitely like it.

Thinking in this way, Li Xianxian silently added another item of buying melons to the original itinerary.

After being rejected one after another, Erya's face was filled with disappointment. She stared at Li Xianxian as she walked away, and her back disappeared into the alley. The little girl let out a long sigh.

Before he finished sighing, his mother's big palm fan slapped the back of his round head, and the woman's crisp voice came from behind, "As expected of my mother's daughter, I knew how to find a good-looking husband-in-law for me at a young age." gone."

The ten-year-old girl, who already knew what a husband-in-law is, blushed immediately, covered her head and turned to stare at the woman, snorted, turned and ran into the house, not forgetting to bring her A piece of the so-called reddest and sweetest melon.

Across the wall, Lingchu, who had excellent hearing, smiled with crooked eyebrows.

Young man, young man.

　Eat melons, eat melons, I love to eat melons, and there are many and big melons recently, but it goes without saying that we still advocate eating melons rationally.
