Handbook of Survival in the World of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 4 03: Going Home and Alive
Despite all kinds of reluctance, Yu Guisi finally embarked on the road home.

As for Lu Liang?Of course I chose to go with him!
This wasteland is desolate, I walked for a whole day and only found a dead tree, I just wanted to find a place where people lived, let alone find the year of the monkey, just don't eat or drink, just looking for it with black eyes If you go down, you may die here halfway and become a pile of dead bones that no one cares about in the wasteland.

Now that I don't know anything about this world, Yu Guisi is a good breakthrough.

Lu Liang tried to draw Qi into her body while walking, but after entering the body, the spiritual Qi was completely out of her control and flowed into that strange vortex by itself.

Lu Liang frowned when he saw the vortex obviously not refusing anyone who came, and when his stubborn temper came up, he continued to absorb the aura of the surrounding world without hesitation. Since you are so good at absorbing, let's absorb as much as you can!I'd like to see when you can suck it!
The two of them didn't talk much along the way, as if they reached a consensus inadvertently, both of them were practicing silently, although the progress of their cultivation was completely different.

Within the boundaries of the wasteland, although the aura of heaven and earth is not strong enough, it is also abundant enough.

At dusk two days later, I was finally able to see a small black spot on the horizon in the distance—it was a small town.

Lu Liang just walked behind Yu Guisi, and most of the rest of his mind was on cultivation. It wasn't until a certain foot crossed a dividing line that the aura of heaven and earth that he could feel suddenly dropped dozens of times. It turned out to be out of the wilderness.

Lu Liang stared at the well-defined land under his feet, lost in thought.

Something is wrong!

Generally speaking, the aura of heaven and earth is basically constant. Like the world of cultivating immortals in Lu Liang's first life, the aura of heaven and earth is much thicker than that of the wilderness. It took her a while to get the aura into her body. Adapt to the huge psychological gap. After all, in my memory, cultivation is such a natural thing, instead of working hard for a long time but making no progress like now.

——And now, the two lands under the feet have a clear boundary, and just this little distance is like a difference between cloud and mud.

The amount of heaven and earth aura is one in the sky and one in the ground, and the content of heaven and earth aura in non-barren lands is pitifully small. Lu Liang suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the monks in this world... such a pitiful little amount of heaven and earth aura, it takes hundreds of years to build a foundation, right?Oh, no, you can still go to the wasteland...

The woman who was looking forward to the big rock under the tree in the distance had come to the two of them in an instant, and before that, Yu Guisi stepped back a few steps and tried to escape, but It was useless, and still without any resistance... was lifted by the ear.

Lu Liang looked up at what was happening in front of him in astonishment, and put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being.

Yu Guisi, who was lifted by his ears, had already left his feet off the ground, kicking his legs like a rabbit whose ears were caught, his hands tightly hugging the woman's arms, tears almost overflowing his eyes , with a painful expression on his face, he shouted: "Mother, mother...it hurts! Take it easy...!"

mother?
Lu Liang raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman in front of him.

Although her hair looks like a woman's, she doesn't have a single wrinkle on her face. Her willow eyebrows are as slender as the daisies of distant mountains, her cherry lips are not smudged but vermilion, and her figure is as slim as a young girl's. She looks just in her twenties.

Thinking about it, since Yu Guisi already had a foundation building practice, then the woman in front of him——Yu Guisi's mother should have a foundation building foundation.

Immortal cultivators seek the art of immortality, want to become a saint with their bodies, live the same life as the heavens and the earth, and keep their faces forever. These things are nothing compared to them.

Lu Liang was thinking about something in his heart, while Yu Guisi was still howling loudly. The woman's willow eyebrows stood on end, her beautiful eyes stared at her, and Yu Guisi died down immediately, her mouth was flattened, but she felt wronged. Don't dare to speak out anymore.

"You still dare to come back to my old lady? You little bastard, you sneaked out again, go back and see if I don't take care of you!"

The woman put down the hand holding Yu Guisi's ear, raised her voice and began to reprimand Yu Guisi who was already trying to find a way to get out of it. After a careful inspection, he let out a long sigh of relief after confirming that there was no injury.

Lu Liang watched it clearly from the side, and didn't say much. He turned his head and pretended he didn't know anything, and began to think about other things carefully, quietly acting as his own background board.After crossing that line, the weather seems to be more pleasant, which is amazing!
Mother... what a great existence.

After reprimanding her disobedient son, Xia Yaoyi turned around and carefully observed Lu Liang who was looking up at the sky and pretending that she was not there.

The hair is a little smoother, and it is simply pulled up with a piece of cloth torn off randomly, but the clothes on the body are already dirty and tattered; the face is black and white, just like a jigsaw puzzle; the shoes are worn out and the toes are exposed , half of the right foot even stepped on the ground; the wound cloth wrapped around the leg was already dirty and smelled, and the scorched flesh could be seen in the loose place...

As for the spiritual root, although she was sure that the little girl in front of her had a spiritual root, she couldn't even tell what the attribute was, and she had never heard of such a situation before.

Her eyes paused on Lu Liang's lap, and she quickly raised her eyes to meet her eyes. Xia Yaoyi raised an eyebrow at Lu Liang and said, "What's your name?"

"My name is Lu Liang."

Xia Yaoyi was startled when she heard the answer, and remembered a rumor... Lu Liang.Could it be that Lu family...

…………

Yu Guisi's home.

Sent Yu Guisi to continue to boil some hot water, Xia Yaoyi reached out and stirred the barrel to test that the temperature was right, then turned around and waved to Lu Liang.

Lu Liang, who was forced to sit on a chair by Xia Yaoyi, jumped down when he heard this - because the chair was too high, he staggered a little when he landed.

Xia Yaoyi frowned when she saw it, and walked over a few steps to help Lu Liang stabilize her body and remove her clothes. When tearing off the wound cloth, she looked at Lu Liang hesitantly, and Lu Liang responded with a gentle smile.

The process of removing the wound cloth was a bit difficult, because over time, the skin and flesh near the wound had already bonded to the wound cloth, and it was inevitable that the wound that had not scabbed and started to heal would be involved when it was moved.

When all the wound cloths were uncovered, Lu Liang's silver teeth were almost gnawed, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Xia Yaoyi looked at the wound in front of her eyes in silence.I don't know what kind of method was used, most of the legs were scorched black, and some places were covered with blood-red flesh, and the bulging pustules spread all over it, making it even more hideous.

Although I heard rumors about the Lu family's attitude towards the abandoned children in the family, it was just a rumor before, but seeing it today...for a child, this is really too...

"I know what you want to say, and I know it the moment you hear my answer."

Lu Liang's face was a little pale and forced a smile, the pain seemed to tear her sanity, but she still tried to straighten her back, stubbornly fighting against fate to the end.

Sweat dripped from his forehead to the floor.

"You..." Xia Yaoyi stayed where she was with a surprised expression, but she couldn't utter a word.

Lu Liang shook his head at her, turned around, stepped on the low stool with difficulty, and climbed into the barrel.

The water level rose, and the full bucket of medicinal liquid shook and slapped the wall of the bucket, splashing water.

"I can't go back, and I don't plan to go back, it doesn't make sense."

Lu Liang gradually lowered his body and sat in the center of the barrel, letting the brown medicinal liquid soak into his whole body.

She lowered her head and closed her eyes, her voice was still hoarse and unpleasant, like a dying old man.

"...I just want to live now, just live as Lu Liang."

……

The Lu family is located in a corner of the wasteland.

Although there are countless dangers in the wilderness, danger is also equal to opportunity.

In order to compete for more cultivation resources, both the Eastern Kingdom and the Western Kingdom encourage practitioners to explore the wilderness. After exploring for a long time, they naturally developed forces that are beyond the two countries - the aristocratic family.

Since the aristocratic family dared to occupy the crisis-ridden wasteland, it naturally had enough strength, especially for the Lu family as the top four of the ten aristocratic families.

Because of the lack of resources for cultivating immortals in this world, every bit of it is hard to come by. In this kind of family, the cruel rules of survival of the fittest are inevitable. Among them, the cruelty of the Lu family is more prominent in this regard, and those who are useless will be discarded. Lose, and concentrate resources on cultivating younger generations with more potential—this is a world where strength comes first.

……

Lu Nuan looked not far away, and the buildings under the setting sun overlapped to show the majesty of a big family, but when you look closely, it is not just a whole building, there are high platforms built of rammed earth, and the buildings are built on On the high rammed earth platform, halls, living rooms, corridors, ancestral temples, bathrooms, etc. are densely packed and scattered in layers, forming a group of complex and spectacular buildings.

The building with the big roof looks more majestic and solemn without any decoration, and the people walking on the corresponding long platform look like ants, whether they are monks or ordinary people.

The noise of people was gradually blown away by the wind in the wilderness.

Lu Nuan followed the memory and continued walking towards the sparsely populated place.

The sheltered place of the Lu family has built a well-organized city. In this city named "Feng", only this small corner makes Lu Nuan feel peaceful.

Looking at the familiar low house in front of him, the thatch on the house was blown away by the recent increasingly violent wind, Lu Nuan was thinking in his heart that he would go find some new thatch to fill in later, only to hear another sound coming from inside the house. The woman's sobs made her frown and immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

"Mother, don't cry."

Barely lighting the oil lamp fueled by the fat of monsters in the wilderness, most of the house was still pitch black. Lu Nuan's eyes instantly locked on the crying woman covering her face in the corner. She wanted to comfort her mother as usual, but suddenly realized that something is wrong.

Turning around to take a closer look, the room was in a mess.

"...Mother." Lu Nuan turned around and shook the woman's shoulders, his eyes were bloodshot due to long-term fatigue, but his voice trembled a little: "Mother, where is Liang Liang...?"

Lu Nuan will never forget this scene in his life.

In the dimness, the mother raised her head, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were empty and full of tears.

She cried for a while and laughed for a while, the tears were still mixed with blood, and she opened her mouth and said, "... no, no... ahaha no..."

Lu Nuan's heart felt like an ice cellar.He even lost Liangliang when he was out on a mission...Father!
The joints of the tightly clenched hands creaked, and a storm of hatred filled the boy's eyes.

"Ah... one step too late..."

Someone sighed in the darkness, and the figure disappeared instantly.

　During the Spring and Autumn Period, out of the need for political, military rule and life enjoyment, the vassal states built a large number of high platforms and palaces (generally several earth platforms with a height of several meters to more than 10 meters were rammed in the city, and palaces and houses were built on them). ("History of Chinese Architecture" edited by Pan Guxi, Southeast University)

　　The place where the Lu family in the center of Lujiafeng City described here is located is such a high-rise building complex.In the wilderness where the Lu family shelters, the Lu family is the king.
