You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu exchanged glances, and Xia Yu said to Shi Zelan: "Since you like bricks, practice using them when you have time."

"The brick technique in my hand is always not easy to use. It should be related to my low level of cultivation."

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu listened to her words, and they thought about it seriously, and said, "Did you choose the most difficult technique to learn?"

Shi Zelan nodded, and Shi Xiaoliu looked at her: "I remember you liked bricks back then, because you liked how easy and convenient bricks were to use."

After listening to Shi Xiaoliu's words, Shi Zelan thought for a while and said, "It turns out that I have made a mistake. No wonder I am unwilling to practice the brick technique now.

Sometimes, no moves are better than moves. I have too many moves now, and I don’t know how to make any moves. "

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu nodded at the same time, and they shared their experiences of learning martial arts but being unable to apply them flexibly.

The three of them sat together and talked for a while, sharing the detours they had taken during their cultivation.

After a while, Xia Yu returned to the room. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan stood on the edge of the mountain and observed the actions of the alchemists at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the Taoist priest had walked around several times with a compass, then walked back and forth along the mountain road several times with a frown on his brow.

He finally came down the mountain in disappointment and said to the people waiting at the foot of the mountain: "The feng shui of this place is good for living."

After hearing this, the old man sighed and said, "Well, at least the children can live here. We should not do it."

After they left, Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan at the mountainside: "I can hear the sighs of the old people even when I stand on the top of the mountain."

Shi Zelan looked at him with amusement after hearing this: "I remember this old man has come here three times, but he still isn't willing to give up."

"Yes, at such an old age, he still lives such a tangled life. Does his future generations really worry him so much?"

Shi Zelan sighed and said, "If you think about it, after thousands of years of absence, our ancestor also went back to look for his descendants. You will understand that it is normal for elders to consider their descendants."

Shi Xiaoliu looked at Shi Zelan for a while and said, "Our ancestor was wise and courageous. He had foresight and cared about future generations, which is why we exist."

They stood at the edge of the mountain for a while before they flew to Shi Zelan's roof and continued talking about this and that.

Xia Yu was busy in the room for a while, and when she came out, she saw Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan sitting leisurely on the roof.

He flew directly to the roof and said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan, "Don't you two want to lie down and bask in the sun?"

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded at the same time, and then Shi Zelan explained to Xia Yu: "In spring, the temperature is about the same whether there is sunshine or not."

Xia Yu listened to her and said with a smile: "You said the summer sun is too scorching and you can't stand its heat."

Shi Xiaoliu laughed at the side: "Sister Lan, you said you like the autumn sun because it is the sun of harvest."

Shi Zelan looked back and forth at the two of them and said frankly, "I actually like the sunshine of all seasons. It's always happier than rainy days, right?"

“Pfft, when it rains in the spring, you said you can hear the saplings drinking water.”

Shi Xiaoliu took over Shi Zelan's words, which made Shi Zelan glare at him angrily.

Xia Yu couldn't help but laugh. Shi Zelan had so many truths that she could never use them all.

Shi Zelan looked at the two of them speechlessly: "I am a person who loves life very much. Don't you have any work to do today?"

Shi Xiaoliu flew down from the roof directly: "I'm going back to my room. I still have some medicine recipes to remember."

Shi Zelan glanced at Xia Yu and said, "I'll go back and carry some things too. I'll leave this roof to you to bask in the sun."

After Shi Zelan flew down, Xia Yu followed behind her: "No need, I'll go back to my room and memorize the direction of the formation."

Before Shi Zelan entered the room, she saw Xia Yu had closed the door before her, so she smiled and closed the door. That day, the wind on the top of the mountain was blowing freely, and Shi Xiaoliu and the other two had never left the room.

It was late at night. Shi Zelan walked out of the room, stood at the edge of the mountain for a while, and then returned to the room.

The next day, the sky brightened. Shi Zelan sat on the roof and took a deep breath. She heard the sound of Shi Xiaoliu opening the door.

Shi Xiaoliu walked to the open space and saw Shi Zelan on the roof: "Were you meditating on the roof last night?"

Shi Zelan shook her head: "I went up to the roof only after it was light.

The morning glow is so beautiful, and the moment the sun jumps out of the mountain is so spectacular that it makes people feel that all the things in the world cannot compare to the most beautiful time in front of them. "

Shi Xiaoliu was about to respond to Shi Zelan's words, but saw that she had calmed down, with a look of sudden enlightenment on her face.

Shi Xiaoliu thought carefully about Shi Zelan's words again, but he was unable to enter the state of enlightenment.

Xia Yu walked out of the room and saw two people on the roof. He flew to the roof, looked at Shi Zelan, and then spoke to Shi Xiaoliu.

"Did she have an epiphany?"

Shi Xiaoliu told him the details through voice transmission, and sighed: "After she told me her feelings, I was about to respond when I looked down and saw that she had an epiphany."

Xia Yu looked at Shi Xiaoliu with some sympathy: "Let's get up early tomorrow to watch the sunrise, maybe we can also have an epiphany."

Shi Xiaoliu glanced at him and said: "If watching the sunrise has this effect, I can sit on the roof to greet the sunrise every day."

Xia Yu laughed: "I think it will only be effective if you are sincere."

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu stood guard on both sides near Shi Zelan, and they closed their eyes and meditated to practice.

At noon, Shi Zelan opened his eyes and saw the two people guarding her. They were immersed in cultivation.

She flew directly off the roof, stood at the edge of the mountain, and then walked towards the back of the mountain.

Shi Zelan went to the canyon, stood on it and listened for a while. It seemed that no one was walking at the bottom of the valley.

Shi Zelan went down the mountain wall to the bottom of the valley, then carefully checked every place in the valley and went into several caves to take a look.

There was indeed no one at the bottom of the valley, so she felt relieved. She walked to the river and looked at the flowing water.

She reached out and picked a leaf, threw it into the middle of the river, and the leaf floated away along the river.

After Shi Zelan walked along the river bank for a while, she turned back and took out a brick to practice.

"One, two, three, throw."

This is the method Shi Zelan came up with to practice using a brick. It is simple and clear. Take out the brick, aim in a direction, and then throw it out.

After practicing for a while, she felt much clearer.

She stopped and vaguely heard someone talking at the intersection.

Shi Zelan went straight up the mountain wall to the top of the canyon. Even if someone accidentally saw her, they would only think that she was climbing the mountain quickly.

At the top of the canyon, Shi Zelan saw people entering the mountain, and from the devices on their backs, he guessed their identities.

Shi Zelan stood there for a while, and heard that they planned to stay at the bottom of the valley for a few days, so they picked some herbs and put them at the bottom of the valley to dry. (End of this chapter)
