Prosperity through farming

Chapter 122

"Yes," Lu Chi went on to explain for Xiaohan, "It's like in our formation research room, those who are of similar level will discuss and argue together, but those whose level is too much higher than ours will occupy another research room. They will often stay with those of us who are low-level, so even if they are in the same discipline, they may not know all of them. Basically, the students in the village school are most familiar with those students who are similar in level in the same discipline."

"There are also friends I met in the bookstore in the first six months." Han Lu added as if thinking of someone, and then, without waiting for Xiao Han to ask, he pointed his hand, "The lobby is here, Zhang Laozu and Sun Laozu Are they all there?" The second half of the sentence was said respectfully to the two ancestors sitting behind the table in the lobby.

"Xiao Han is here?" It was Zhang Laozu who stood up with a smile, and Sun Laozu just smiled at them, and after saying hello, he went back to the jade slips in his hand.

"Zhang Patriarch," those who can be called Patriarchs in the village school are all above the distraction stage, with a life span of 8000 years, and those who will be robbed by the next level, and only villagers at this stage will be assigned Taking turns to spare 200 years to spend on village school affairs, "I brought Xiaohan to report." Han Lu was very respectful.

"Patriarch Zhang." Xiaohan also saluted respectfully.

"Okay, okay," Zhang Patriarch stopped with his hand, "After entering the village school, it is good to bow to the Taoists first, and there is no need to practice the teacher's salute. Now that we have embarked on the road of cultivation, we are all just seekers of the Tao. It’s just the sequence of the road.”

Xiaohan obediently bowed her hand, "I remember."

"Come on," Patriarch Zhang didn't move, and had already come to Xiaohan's side, "I'll take you to the Natal Pagoda to light the Soul Lamp." He waved to Han Lu, "You guys go."

Han Lu gave Xiao Han a wink, telling her to obey her ancestor's orders, step back obediently, and follow Lu Chi to the other side.

Xiaohan looked at Patriarch Zhang, and before she had a second reaction, she felt that something was holding her up under her feet. After paying attention, she realized that she was standing beside Patriarch Zhang, and was supported by Xiangyun to the back fly away.

Xiangyun doesn’t fly high, but it also makes Xiaohan doubtful. She didn’t see what she sees now on the aircraft before, towers, views, and buildings. Xiaohan understood it, and it is estimated that it is the effect of the mountain protection array.

As if understanding what she was thinking, Patriarch Zhang said softly, "Aircraft are not allowed on the mountain, only those above the distraction stage can fly with their own cultivation, and only when they fly low can they fly." After seeing the whole scene clearly, you will know later.”

"Students, if you want to go there," Xiaohan pointed to the building complex that must be the training room, "you have to run?"

"Yeah, climbing the mountain every day is also exercise." Patriarch Zhang smiled slightly, "Your brother may not have time to explain to you, the cafeteria is next to the square, and you have to run back and forth on the mountain road at least once a day, because the cafeteria in the morning It's not open, and it doesn't sell food until noon and evening. Those buns, dumplings, and porridge for breakfast are only sold at night, but you can buy them and put them in a storage bag for the next day. Eat it every morning."

"Uh," Xiaohan understood. The road is not short. The village school is built on Shenqi Mountain at three-fifths from the foot of the mountain, and the buildings are at four-fifths. Zhenguan, at that time she felt that the pagoda behind it was a bit abrupt, "The Natal Pagoda is behind Chongzhen Temple?"

"Yes." Patriarch Zhang nodded, he deliberately slowed down so that Xiaohan could see clearly.

It turned out to be the original life tower, no wonder, the cultivation base in the village school is relatively advanced, and two people will be stationed every day. It seems that it is not only to clean the Chongzhen temple, but also to check whether the original soul lamp in the original life tower has changed. .

Sure enough, as soon as they landed in front of the pagoda, the two uncles greeted them from the pagoda gate, "I have seen Patriarch Zhang."

"A newcomer enters the school, I'll bring her some soul lamps." Patriarch Zhang was very kind.

Xiaohan smiled and gestured with her eyes, and said hello to the uncle who the two ancestors obviously did not intend to introduce to her.

Immediately, two strands of divine consciousness swept over her, one was as sharp as ice, and the other was as soft as cotton candy.

After the two uncles "looked" at her, they both had momentary surprises on their faces, but they didn't say anything. They stood sideways and stretched out their hands to draw her in, "Old Ancestor, please do what you want."

Patriarch Zhang led Xiao Han to the middle hall at the bottom of the pagoda, and the two uncles ignored them and walked up the pagoda.

"They want to patrol the tower," Zhang Patriarch explained to Xiao Han who looked doubtful, "Don't worry about it, what's important now is you." A cabinet door was opened, and inside the door were arranged lampstand-like utensils, which were often seen in costume dramas. They were placed on the table, and short and thick candles were lit inside, and the candle flame was covered with a spherical glass cover. kind of.

Xiaohan couldn't help observing carefully. Speaking of which, it was the first time Xiaohan saw a lampstand. The stones used in daily life at home were called "fluorescent stones". Come on, it's soft and not dazzling. Although the light emitted by small fluorescent stones is a bit dim, the larger stones, which are four inches square, are almost comparable to the incandescent lamps in the previous life. , have not seen the lampstand yet.

When there is no sun?Injecting some spiritual power into the fluorescent stone can also be used in the same way, and it can be brighter for a longer time.

Therefore, in the past 16 years, Xiaohan really saw the lampstand for the first time.

Moreover, this lampstand is very strange. How should I put it, the bracket made of metal in the lower part is very crude, very "handicraft of the peasant family", and the round white crystal-like spherical lampshade on the top But it is as delicate as if it was carved by the best jewelry craftsman. The beautiful lines carved on the inner wall are really exquisite and incomparable.

Isn't this too inconsistent?Can't you make the lower bracket look nicer?

After Patriarch Zhang brought a lamp stand in front of her, and looked carefully, he found that the material of the bracket below was also very poor, that is, the thickest iron, and at first glance it seemed to be the handicraft of the peasant family, but now that he looked closely, It's not anymore, it's like something that a child keeps tinkering and kneading when playing with mud.

Seeing Xiao Han staring at the iron bracket, Patriarch Zhang smiled, "This is the first thing the children of the Lu family forged when they forged weapons. The children of the Lu family can emit spiritual fire at the foundation building stage, and then Each person will be given a lump of iron ore, and the iron must be tempered with spiritual fire to remove impurities. Afterwards, the pure iron obtained must be made into such a lampstand. You don’t know, the shape of the refiner The shape requires the use of spiritual consciousness, and those children only have to build the foundation stage, how can they use their spiritual consciousness freely? They can only wrap the spiritual fire around their hands, and make this kind of bracket bit by bit like piles of sculptures Come."

Xiaohan smiled in relief, "No wonder, those lampstands in the closet are all different heights and sizes." It turned out that they were really made by children.

Old Ancestor Zhang smiled, flicked his fingers, and two chairs appeared in front of Xiaohan, "Come on, sit down, the most important thing you have to do today is to light up the soul lamp. We have plenty of time, so we can take our time."

After getting in touch with the ancestors of the village school, Xiaohan knew that Zhang's ancestor was slow, and she was not impatient anyway, so she sat down obediently.

As soon as she sat down, she received the white crystal mask in her hand. Zhang Laozu stuffed it into her hand, "The bracket is not a big deal. The most important thing is this soul shield. Take a closer look."

Xiaohan held the crystal cover with both hands, and began to appreciate it carefully. At first glance, those patterns seemed to be carved on the inner wall, but only now did he realize that it was not. Putting into the middle of the white crystal is like embedding patterns into the glass, but this white crystal is brittle and fragile, how can things be embedded in it without breaking?Moreover, crystals are crystals, so how do you think about it so that the cover can be so round and seamless?Except for the small slit on the top, the whole lampshade is worthy of the word "slippery autumn".

Truly ingenious!

"Well, I don't think you will specialize in weapon training in the future, right?" Patriarch Zhang waited until Xiaohan had seen it almost enough, before making a suggestion.

Xiaohan handed the white crystal cover to Patriarch Zhang, "It's too delicate to be able to see it, it's really ingenious."

Ancestor Zhang didn't pick it up, and looked at her with a smile, "This lampshade, in the Lu family, can only be refined by at least one who has cultivated at the out-of-body stage. I have to take a trace of your soul, don't be nervous, you won't feel anything."

Xiao Han hadn't reacted yet, Zhang Patriarch's finger was on her forehead, she just felt a slight sway in the sea of ​​consciousness, a drop of transparent and purple spiritual matter, wrapped in thick white spiritual energy, fell into the water in her hand In the crystal cover, this is taken from her sea of ​​consciousness?
Before he had time to feel his own body, Xiaohan saw that after the point of spiritual matter fell to the bottom of the crystal cover, although it was wrapped in thick white spiritual energy, it was still turbulent, and it was obvious that it was about to disperse. Wrapped in aura, I'm afraid it has dissipated into the air.

Then, Xiaohan's heart flicked, and when he raised his eyes, the ancestor pulled out a short wire between silver and white from somewhere in his body. It was very unstable, the ancestor's hands made a tactic, carefully folded, and pressed the will into the crystal cover.

Then, with one hand tightly pressing the small circular opening on the crystal cover, and with the other hand pinching a finger across the cover, the short thread, as if under some kind of persecution, got into the mass of spiritual matter underneath, and when the thread ends and As soon as the psychic servant came into contact, both of them stabilized suddenly. The most obvious thing was that the short thread flickered and turned into a small flame, shining on the bottom of the crystal cover. At the same time, the thick white aura It scattered all of a sudden, and the transparent purple spiritual substance that was originally wrapped in it also suddenly changed color, becoming a khaki.

At this moment, inside the small ball cover, there is like a small drop of khaki lamp oil, with flames formed by five layers of tones dancing on it.

Patriarch Zhang withdrew his gesture, took the bracket, held Xiaohan's hand, and put the ball cover with beating soul flames on the bracket, "Hey, the khaki color underneath means that you are from the earth-type heavenly spirit root!" Qualification, the flames are colorful, which means you are practicing Hunyuan Kung Fu, come on, now we have to put it upstairs, come on, I will support you and stand up." A round jade cover appeared in your hand, just to cover it There is a circular gap on the crystal cover, and on the jade cover, there are two rows of characters, the big one is "Zhang Xiaohan", and the smaller row is her birth date.

Hearing what the old ancestor said about her being disabled, Xiaohan wanted to jump up to prove that she was not disabled, but she couldn't do it anyway. Only then did she know that there was a reason for the old ancestor's words, so she had to hold the old ancestor's arm and stand up.

The ancestor was obviously used to it, he held Xiaohan's shoulder with one hand, and brought Xiaohan's hand with the other hand, he just stuck her to hold the Yuanhun lamp, "The Yuanhun lamp is also called the natal lamp, only you I can hold it by myself, and when other people touch it, various symptoms will appear, come, come with me."

The ancestor's "follow me" is completely polite, and Xiaohan is half paralyzed at the moment, being carried away by the ancestor.

Going up to the second floor, along the wall, there are all natal lamps. Walking to Zhang's house, Xiaohan's natal lamp is placed on the empty space on the table. , Strange, there is no Hu family and Ge family.

The old ancestor knew what her questioning eyes meant, "The Hu family and the Ge family are not human monks, so they cannot light natal lamps. The monster race and the elves are much more open-minded than humans in this respect."

Xiaohan's eyes turned to another place, why is there still a cover made of black crystal?Although there are only one or two, what kind of special character is this?
"That's the Zhong family's office in the underworld. Once you receive the duty card from the underworld, the lampshade will also appear." Ancestor Zhang glanced at it, "There are not many here, because here are all foundation-building period and gold lampshades." The natal lamps of the dan stage are on the upper floor of the natal lamps of the Yuanying stage. Most of the natal lamps of the Zhong family are dark there, so it won’t be surprising if you see more of them in the future. Let’s go, let’s go out, I have to put Are you going to send me back to the village school, or are you going to be sent home?"

Xiaohan tried his best to move his body, but still couldn't do it, "Go home." Talking didn't hinder me.

"It's normal. After taking a drop of Consciousness Sea, the soul has gone to the first line. The body always needs time to adapt." Zhang Patriarch nodded slightly, "Everyone's situation is different. Your two brothers are not as serious as you. , I'll take you home to rest."
