one person's life

Chapter 150: Changes in the four families during the night chat
After the Tang Sect reformed, it took off the mysterious veil that had been wrapped around itself in the past, and frequently appeared on occasions that it would not have participated in originally.

This is also due to the times. After all, no one in the Tang Sect can live on a small amount of commissions now, and there is no need to farm like Taoist priests. Disciples can get a lot of subsidies for a trip, and their time outside of practicing has become more generous.

In the final analysis, it is still about connections. There is a lack of employers these days, and the younger generation of Tang sect cannot establish any connections with the outside world. This will not be good for the development of the sect in the long run.

After sending Gao Shaoshan away, Tang Muzhi returned to the pit and thought about Zhao Xiansi for a while.

Except for Nason Wei and Nason King, no one else can get out of Nason Island... Zhao Xiesi should be the same.

If he had the ability to go in and out of Nathan Island quietly, he wouldn't have to run upright now to expose the news that he wasn't dead to the whole world.

"I don't know what Zhao Fangxu thinks... but when people arrive at Nason Island, they won't interfere."

He had slept during the day, and at midnight, when many practitioners were meditating, Tang Muzhi walked out of the cave. The bright moon slowly shone from the top of the cave, making the entire ground white.

Holding a wolf-hair brush, Tang Muzhi spread a piece of rice paper under the moonlight and moved his elbow slightly.

From the mane behind the withers down to the spine and ribs, the dark ink engulfs the moonlight shining on the rice paper little by little, and the outline of a galloping horse gradually appears.

"Brother is very interested."

Ye Kexin's cold voice came from a distance. Her volume was not loud, but it was very penetrating.

Tang Muzhi quickly realized that this was a strange technique that compressed the sound into a straight line so as not to disturb other people in the tomb.

He looked up and saw Ye Kexin with her hair tied up, holding on to the wall with one hand, walking towards Tang Muzhi along the path of the moon shadow.

"Thank you for letting Tang Hong send you the quilt a few days ago."

"It doesn't matter, just rest more and don't let your body break down."

Ye Kexin came over and saw the horse painted by Tang Muzhi, and sighed: "This is imitated by Xu Beihong's painting. It is not like those fat horses. They have a long and thin body, wide hooves, thick and powerful nostrils, and a graceful and vigorous body."

"Hehe, there's no need to praise me for this one. From a distance, it looks pretty similar. If you look closely, you might not even be able to tell the difference between a donkey and a horse, haha."

Tang Muzhi put away his brush. It was interesting to see it from a distance. The posture and body shape were in line with a good horse. Looking closer, the horse's facial features were painted crookedly except for the nostrils. The overall strokes were also intermittent, not crisp and not far enough. to the essence.

"Fortunately, it's just my hobby. If I had to rely on this to make a living, I would have starved to death."

Ye Kexin approached and took a closer look, and found that there was indeed nothing worthy of praise, so she nodded frankly, "It can be seen that apart from the above advantages, there is still room for improvement."

As soon as this was said, both of them laughed.

"Speaking of which, thanks to you these past few days, the dinner made by Tang Hong is very delicious, a bit like the vegetarian food in a big temple." Ye Kexin stretched out her bony arm and tugged on it.

"I didn't expect to be treated like this before I came here... I've gained weight, which is a good thing."

Tang Muzhi asked her if she had rested well. He hadn't seen her for several days, and Xu Xin didn't see her playing chess with her again.

Ye Kexin said that there had been a breakthrough in the alchemy method in the past two days, and that the tomb was a place for cultivation. Tang Muzhi followed this topic and asked about it to satisfy his curiosity.

The two sat under the moonlight, and Tang Muzhi got a cup to keep her hydrated.

Ye Cheng and his wife are well aware of the benefits of dual cultivation of life and life, so before Ye Kexin was 12 years old, before the red dragon appeared, they asked her to worship a Quanzhen old Kun Tao as a teacher.

At that time, she had just fallen ill, and after being treated with medicine, her vitality was sufficient and her true blood was full. It was a good time for practice.

The elixir formula says: "You must rest your mind first, your mind will be calm and your mind will be clear, and your heart will be cold."

A cold heart produces blood, which is of great benefit to her condition. Those two years were the time when their family was thriving and facing the disease with confidence... Ye Kexin said that that was the happiest time in her life, even in the past. When I successfully became a disciple of the chess master and competed everywhere with great glory, I was not so satisfied and comfortable.

"This is the feeling of having a clear goal, being able to see the road and walking on it." Ye Kexin recalled, "At that time, I could see the whole family working together as one and the same. I also tried my best to practice and take the nine precepts. I happily finished it and persuaded my parents to send away the nannies and nurses, and the house became extremely clean for a while."

"Do you know? I used to be a very thoughtful girl, and I was always jealous of my sister. My sister is nine years older than me. She was clamoring to leave home when she was only fifteen. It was all my tricks. She She said she really hated me back then... I couldn't understand many things here, maybe it was just my nature. Later, after receiving the precepts, coupled with the teachings of Master and my family, I fasted for two years, and I now know right from wrong. broken."

The Nine Precepts of Jurchen: the first is to be filial and gentle, be careful in speaking and not jealous; the second is to be chaste and keep oneself chaste and avoid all filthy behaviors; the third is to cherish all things and lives, be kind and compassionate and do not kill; the fourth is to recite rites diligently and cautiously, and abstain from eating meat and wine; The fifth is, the clothes should be of high quality and should not be decorated; the sixth is, the temperament should be adjusted and there should be no worries; the seventh is, do not attend fasting meetings; the eighth is, do not abuse slaves; the ninth is, do not steal people.

To get started with alchemy, you must purify your mind and let go of all ties.Ye Kexin said that after she learned that she was terminally ill, her temperament changed completely. She only thought about how to cure the disease, stop thoughts, adjust the mind, and keep the center... When practicing to recover from illness, there are no distracting thoughts in the mind. This is to calm the mind.

After practicing to cut off the red dragon, the foundation-building skill has come to an end. Next is the stage of refining Qi through Xiao Zhou Tian, ​​which is the inaction of refining and transforming Qi. After Xiao Zhou Tian circulates, Qi circulates through the veins and finally forms elixir. ... She was pure in heart, neither worried nor angry, nor acted rashly. This step was also completed very quickly.

But the good times did not last long. Lao Kundao passed away, and her own condition worsened with age. Refining Qi and maintaining health only temporarily delayed the onset of the disease...

Just a few days ago, she had a breakthrough in her alchemy realm and reached the third step of refining the female elixir to transform into a god: Talisman Fire.

Tang Muzhi didn't ask for details. There were differences between men and women in alchemy and Qi refining, which involved women's privacy.

"and after?"

Tang Muzhi asked: "How is the Dharma of the Immaculate Vajra? And why did you go to the Tang Sect so hard?"

Listening to her like this, after a few years, Ye Kexin should have realized that terminal illness is hopeless to be cured in the ups and downs of life, and she also took a fancy to the mental method in it to cultivate the Vajra Vajra, to get rid of the obsession brought about by the illness, and finally Do face up to failure and death.

But shouldn’t we spend more time with our parents and family at this time?
"I just haven't given up yet." A look of determination flashed across Ye Kexin's delicate face, "A cultivator values ​​​​life. God has given me all the conditions to resist the disease, so I will try my best to live. I came to Tangmen to live. Go down, there’s no doubt about it.”

Tang Muzhi nodded and said something unpleasant. He didn't want people with such resources to give up treatment early.

It is true that ordinary people have nothing to do when they suffer from difficult and complicated diseases and consider themselves unlucky; but if those who control social resources get sick, they will promote the research of such diseases far beyond ordinary people.But Tang Muzhi still couldn't figure out that she came to Tangmen specifically for treatment. This ALS was not poisoning, nor was it a problem with her five internal organs. Tangmen's antidote and five treasures body protection method obviously couldn't solve her disease, and maybe even It doesn't even have a relieving effect, so what treatment can she take?
Ye Kexin didn't say anything, so Tang Muzhi thought of asking Yang Lie after he went out.

"Senior brother, how is your leg injury? I see that you can walk without any problems."

Tang Muzhi rolled up his trousers, revealing a smooth scar around his ankle. After the bone was connected last time, when Tang Muzhi used the third level of reverse life to remove the scar, the Qi thread that fixed the wound almost came loose, so he had no choice but to let it go. .

"The flesh and blood have been healed, now we just wait for the bones to grow back."

Ye Kexin saw the hideous and terrifying wounds on Tang Muzhi's right foot, as if they had been cut off all at once, and worry flashed across her eyebrows.

"Does the Tang Sect still make a living by being a killer? I have seen Tang Mian and others rarely do this."

"There are very few." Tang Muzhi sighed, the era of assassins has passed.

……

These juniors from the Tang Sect can never be idle.

Tao Tao, Gao Shaoshan, and Sima Yuan had already become acquainted with Luo Youhua on Lu Jin's birthday, so it would be nice to invite them to play together now.

They bought train tickets and arrived in Mianning County first. Their destination was Xiaoxiangling behind Lingshan Temple. Luo Youhua would pick them up.

Lingshan is backed by Xiaoxiang Ridge and adjacent to the Anning River. Behind Lingshan Temple, smoke and clouds are swirling and purple air is flying.There are many mountains around the temple, with green pines and cypresses and clear springs flowing over the rocks.Climbing to the top of the Buddha, you can see the rolling snow scenery of Yangluo Snow Mountain to the north, the majestic Yak Mountain and the fertile fields on both sides of the Anning River to the west, and the thousands of peaks of Daliang Mountain stretching for hundreds of miles and the scattered Yi villages to the east.

This time Wu Jin's ancestor worship ceremony was held in the gap between Xiaoxiangling and Daliang Mountains. The village at the foot of the mountain was already filled with outsiders. Most of them were Qigong practitioners. It was a rare opportunity. I came here to experience Wu Jin's skills. gain knowledge.

Before the ancestor worship meeting, the younger generation of Jin in Liangshan have to go through a "battle of tricks". The force represented by the winner will obtain greater resources in the next year, and will also be qualified to meet the ancestors.

In the past, this kind of witchcraft fight was mysterious, and outsiders were never welcome to participate. However, many people were invited to visit this time. There must be something big happening in Liangshan, and it is almost announced.

"I will take you to the place where you live first. It is difficult to rent a Tuzhang house of the Yi people."

The Tuzhang House uses stone as the wall base, and uses adobe to build the walls. The beams are erected on the walls. The beams are covered with wooden strips and bamboo, and a layer of soil is covered on the top.

The roof built in this way is flat and smooth, and can be placed directly on it to dry grain.The whole house is warm in winter and cool in summer, resistant to rain and fire, and is very practical.

As soon as Luo Youhua received the Tang Sect's group, he couldn't help but sigh, "We haven't seen each other for a year. This world... is not peaceful at all. I thought that all the sects are training those disciples hard now, just waiting for the next time Luo Tian It’s time to show off your talents at the big ceremony, I didn’t expect such things to happen recently.”

Tang Wu stood behind and thought for a long time, then turned around and said, "What else has happened recently? Is Ding Shian being put on a bounty? It's been a year since I last saw you, and you have become a lot like a mother-in-law."

Luo Youhua smiled and ignored the following sentence: "This is your professional habit. You always keep an eye on these things. In fact, there are people from the Lu family who were put on the reward list. I really don't know who ate the bear's heart." Leopard is so bold that he dares to take advantage of the Lu family... But Quan Xing and those lunatics really dare to take action."

"Then what did you just say?"

"I'm talking about the Lu family's affairs... Anyway, things are not peaceful now. It seems that there is a force that has involved the entire four families. It is better for us outsiders not to get involved and let them solve it on their own."

"By the way, will anyone from the Lu family come this time?"

"I'm afraid he won't come. The old man of the Lu family is probably very angry."

……

……

Wang family compound.

Inside the hall.

Wang Ai looked at his grandnephew Wang Shun who was kneeling in front of him.

Wang Shun is a descendant of his cousin's lineage. Although he is usually naughty, his talent is extremely good. Among the younger generation, his strength is one of the best.

"Shun'er, you get up first." Wang Ai let out a long sigh. A very troublesome thing has already happened to the little guy in front of him, and he cannot avoid it!
"My grandpa has actually been paying attention to you. As for you - you keep making small mistakes but not big mistakes. Why are you so confused this time?"

Wang Shun stood up in silence. His face was pale, his veins were bulging, and under the plain shirt, the bandage was torn, and bright red blood oozed out, instantly staining his whole body red.

"Hey -" Wang Ai frowned and sighed, "Come here! Call the doctor over here!"

After a while of fussing, the hall returned to silence, and two grandsons, Wang Ai, Wang Shun, and grandson were left.

"I have never accepted Lu Wen's marriage to you... Isn't this what you meant? Now if something happens to her, to be honest, it's a matter of the Lu family, and you can't get involved."

Wang Shun stood supporting the wall with his head lowered and his mouth slightly open, but he didn't make a sound.

Wang Ai leaned on crutches with both hands, lightly tapped the floor tiles, and said angrily: "You raise your head and look at me! Where is Lujia Village? Can you just let your temper run wild? This time, the mad dog will give me face. I spared your life, and the others would have died a hundred and eight thousand times long ago, so you can still stand here?!"

Seeing that Wang Shun didn't speak, Wang Ai was silent for a moment and then said: "This matter is also out of the Lu family's protection for you, Lu Wen...the death is not very simple, it has already happened, no one wants to let another junior Get stimulated! Do you understand?"

"...I have always regarded him as my biological sister - grandpa." Wang Shun raised his head, his teeth clenched and tears in his eyes, "You have to let me avenge her."

"That will have to wait until you recover from your injuries!" Wang Ai's face softened a little, "Although the murderer of Lu Wen came after you, a junior, he was very clever, and even the Lu family himself couldn't find anything. Now the clue falls on you, do you understand? This matter started because of you, and whether the result is good or bad, it will definitely end because of you."

"...Understood." Wang Shun made a hoarse voice in his throat.
