one's door

After Bi Qingdan swallowed, her life expectancy increased by ten years, and Shen Hong made up for all the loss of vitality caused by her previous illness.

Today's Shen Hong is no different from a normal person, even compared to other people of her age, she has better physical and mental strength.

Liu Rui smiled, led Shen Hong to the kitchen, pointed to a set of utensils and ingredients on the stove, and said to Shen Hong: "Mom, here are the things you mentioned, try it , let’s see if it’s still alive?”

"What? Is my daughter greedy? Good! Mother will show you something today!" Shen Hong didn't think much, and started to tidy up.She is a peasant girl, what housework can't she do?I was just sick before, but now my body is better than before, and my hands and feet are more agile. After a while, I cleaned up all the things and started pancakes.

When the pancakes came out of the pan, Shen Hong helped roll some special sauces and fillings in.When it was finally handed to Liu Rui, it looked like a rolled cylinder.Although the appearance is a little rough, but the smell knows that this thing must be delicious.

It's really delicious!

Rao Liu Rui also worked in the imperial dining room of the palace, and she also ate some of the leftover delicacies, which may not taste as good as the pancakes in her hand.

While Liu Rui was eating, Shen Hong had already started to bake another for Liu San who came over.

Liu Rui ate the pancakes, feeling that the pancakes with fillings were enough for her to have a full meal.And it tastes really good.So he said, "Mother, this pancake needs to be named something easy to remember."

"Hey, your child is just a pancake. What name do you choose? Besides, mother doesn't even know the words, so how did you choose a name?" Shen Hong felt that her daughter's words were very interesting now.His words and deeds are also quite methodical, secretly thinking that he doesn't know which big gentleman has raised Liu Rui so well.No one said no to everyone who was a lady.

Liu Rui didn't know what Shen Hong was thinking, she had her own plan, otherwise how could she do it for no reason?Do you really think you are hungry?

"Mother, your craftsmanship is so good. You can spread out a pancake quickly. You can make one pancake without the effort of half a cup of tea. Moreover, the fillings are rich and delicious, and my appetite will be full with just one pancake. For people like Liu San or Liu Er who can eat, both of them should be [-] to [-] percent full.

You said that if you set up a stall to sell this kind of pancakes, and sell them with some porridge and rice paste by the way, can you support your family? "

"Ah?!" Shen Hong was dumbfounded.A poor person who has been poor for half his life, how can he imagine that one day he will be able to find food with handicrafts?

"Mother, just say that you believe that the pancakes you made will be bought by many people?"

"This..." Shen Hong put down the things in her hands, walked back and forth in the kitchen, lost her mind for a moment.She never planned for herself like this.

"Girl, you have seen the world now, mother listens to you!"

"Hehe, that's good, mother, you start to practice your handicrafts. You need to work hard on the stuffing, prepare enough, and how to prepare it must be kept secret, as long as you know it yourself. In addition, you also have to figure out how many noodles you need to prepare..."

After Liu Rui's explanation, Shen Hong could only nod her head, but at the same time she was serious and anxious.Let Liu Rui repeat some parts several times, and only after confirming that he has not forgotten will he continue to speak.

For several days in a row, Shen Hong's workmanship was fine, and all preparations for the stall were comprehensive.

"Girl, what's the name of this pancake?"

"It's called Aunt Shen's cake and fruit." Liu Rui said with a smile, and handed an embroidered flag to Shen Hong.As long as a bamboo pole is inserted, it can be erected as a signboard.

The whole Liu family is busy.The two boys, including Liu Dagen, are busy with the cake stall.If this stall is doing well, it will definitely make more money than Liu Dagen going to the quarry to help people lift stones.The food and clothing of the family can rely on this stall to improve.

"Girl, are you leaving?"

One night before leaving the stall, Shen Hong knocked on the door of Liu Rui's room, sat by the bed and talked to Liu Rui who was also awake.Although Shen Hong was busy with things these days, she felt that her daughter's words were getting less and less, and she always stood by and watched with a smile.

Although Shen Hong didn't understand any major principles and knowledge, she could feel that her daughter was about to leave.

Just like what the daughter said to her father on the first day they met, the word "owe" will always be repaid.Even if the daughter repaid the debt of being a father in that incident back then, she saved her mother and found a way out of "Aunt Shen's cakes and fruits".Is this repaying another favor?

Not hiding it, Liu Rui nodded and said, "It's time to go."

She felt and guessed the same as Shen Hong.Liu Rui came back this trip just to get rid of the obsession in her heart.The father met once, and now there is no bondage.Mother's grace also used two pills, as well as some guidance and foreshadowing later, and asked herself if it was clean.Then what's the point of staying?

"Then can you wait a few more days? Just seven days! Mother wants to celebrate your birthday." Shen Hong was a little cautious.After the daughter was born, the family was too poor and never celebrated anyone's birthday.She felt that after this farewell, she might never see each other again.So I wanted to keep thinking about it.

"Okay, I'll listen to my mother."

Chapter 472

She has never celebrated her birthday, and Liu Rui never wanted to make her birthday any different.

In the past, my family was poor, and then I was a slave, so I didn't deserve to celebrate my birthday.

Later, when I had the conditions, I felt that other people's birthdays were to commemorate my own birth and the kindness of my parents.Liu Rui doesn't think these things need special commemoration, and even she was not sure whether her parents' birth grace is worthy of her.

This is also the reason for Liu Rui's deep obsession.

Unexpectedly, my first birthday was still held, and I spent it with my family.Although there is a table of simple meals, for Liu Rui, she has never had a spiritual feeling.

Liu Rui didn't turn her head when she left, but when she came out of Dezhu City, she felt as if she had lost something that was closely connected with her.The feeling of being cut made it difficult for her to accept it for a while.

Even shortly after leaving Dezhu City, Liu Rui felt that something was wrong, so she could only find a quiet place, lay down the array given by her master, and adjust her breath cross-legged, hoping to alleviate her sudden trouble.

The trouble was so sudden and overwhelming.It doesn't come from the physical, but from the spiritual level, and the root seems to be in one's own "Tao".

Liu Rui smiled wryly and realized that she might be in big trouble this time.She never thought that she would encounter her own "tribulation" at the late stage of Profound Vein Realm.And it is an extremely dangerous "heart robbery".

Liu Rui remembered that she had seen this kind of early calamity in the Taoist scriptures, which can be said to be unique.And it is also beneficial to go through the catastrophe early, which means that the possibility of encountering the same kind of catastrophe in the future will be much smaller, and even if you encounter it again, the risk will be much smaller than others, and it will be easier to survive.

But the problem is that Liu Rui doesn't know whether she can survive this time.If you fall down this time, what will you talk about in the future?

There is only a wry smile, what else can I do?Perhaps without the experience of going home this time, and the determination to cut off the past, there would be no such knot.

regret?Liu Rui didn't think so.From the moment she met her master at the state banquet, her path was doomed to be a path of indomitable progress under the eyes of everyone, a path that subverted other people's cognition and all suspicion and contempt.

Since "My Way" started like this, there is no reason to change it halfway.Cutting off the past and seeking the way wholeheartedly is what Liu Rui should have done.Otherwise, I really procrastinate, and when my parents pass away, there will be no possibility of unraveling and cutting off this obsession.Liu Rui's "Tao" may have obvious cracks due to this.

But it's one thing to strengthen one's Dao heart, and it's another thing to resist the heart calamity.If you want to solve the catastrophe, you need to find and understand the key to this catastrophe.

Sitting in the formation is a few days.Liu Rui has no clue at all.Even the more she figured out what she did in Dezhu City, the more she felt that there was nothing wrong with what she did.But the connection between family affection and blood will eventually converge to the tearful look of the mother before parting, and the ordinary but unforgettable birthday feast.

It seems to be forcing Liu Rui to choose.

Either admit that one's "Tao" should not cut off the past like this; or continue one's "Tao" but cut it thoroughly, and even clean up the last emotions and memories that remain in the memory.Even kill them at any cost.

Liu Rui would not choose either of the two options, and she knew that this was just an illusion given to her by Xin Jie.If she really chooses any one of them, then she will be in a heart-robbing way.

Another few days passed, and Liu Rui was trapped in this catastrophe, not only unable to move an inch, but also getting worse and worse.She even felt that her consciousness was drying up.If it continues, her Dao foundation will be seriously damaged.

"Don't be anxious and irritable in the face of a catastrophe, this is not a strategy to overcome the catastrophe."

Suddenly, a peaceful voice rang directly in Liu Rui's ear, causing her frown to relax.This is Master's voice.

Master is here!

Liu Rui doesn't know why the master came suddenly. She is in a critical situation now, and if she is not careful, she may directly damage the Dao Foundation, and her future practice path will be cut off.

"Master, doubts abound in this disciple's heart, because the choice between family affection and 'Tao' seems to be contradictory, forming a pull, which makes it difficult for the disciple to untie it now. Although the Dao heart is strong, it is difficult to extricate yourself from the quagmire."

Zhang Yan was originally sorting out his late-stage Synthetic Realm gains in the cliff mountain to prepare for the [-]th Heavenly Tribulation later on.But suddenly, he felt that his apprentice Liu Rui seemed to be in extreme danger.But there is no jade amulet inspired.This made Zhang Yan extremely nervous, and moved directly to where Liu Rui was.

As a result, Zhang Yan was startled when he saw it.He also didn't expect that Liu Rui was going through a catastrophe at the late stage of Profound Vein Realm!

"Tell me about your return to your hometown in detail. As a teacher, I also want to hear how you deal with your own way." Zhang Yan has never experienced heart tribulation.But after all, he is about to complete the body-fit state, and there are thousands of "reasons" in his cognition, and he has the ability to help Liu Rui solve some key problems.

Liu Rui also suppressed the discomfort, and quickly told what she did in Dezhu City this time, and said it in relative detail.

After listening to Liu Rui's narration, Zhang Yan didn't act emotionally in his heart, but simply used his own "reason" to find the thread that fits Liu Rui's way and can solve this catastrophe.

"I ask you, why do you seek the Tao?"

"In order to get out of the shackles of all beings, I want to have a glimpse of the mysteries of the world, and I want to control my own destiny in my own hands, so I seek the Tao."

"Since you want to peek into the mysteries of the world and hold your destiny in your hands, why are you stagnant?" Zhang Yan used his own "reason" to draw out a thread.With a shocking voice and magic power, the words were directly printed in Liu Rui's mind.

"Because of being trapped by family affection, I want to cut it but it seems difficult to cut it off, so the root is broken and entangled, and I can't make any progress."

"Since the past has been cut off, how can it be broken? It's just memories and memorials to the past, how can it be regarded as a tie?

For the strong, only for the strength of the heart.Believe in your own choices, accept your past and past events calmly, just ask for a clear conscience, why worry about everything?Where did the connection come from? "

This word first states what is strong, followed by two rhetorical questions.

"But please have a clear conscience? A strong person only has memories and the past, but no connection?" These words broke in like a pair of scissors, and then cut Liu Rui's messy consciousness with a click.Once a thread is untied, the pimples behind will naturally be untied along the way...

Chapter 473

Liu Rui's mental calamity has been extremely thrilling.And after passing this test, it will be an unparalleled reinforcement for her Dao Heart.

The more resolute the Dao heart is, the better it is for the monks, and it means that it will be difficult to cause any flaws in the Dao heart in the future.

But now when he saw Liu Rui's Dao Xin first formed with his own eyes, although he had expected it before, Zhang Yan was still inexplicably a little astonished.

The brave are fearless, the strong are self-reliant, and my fate is up to me!

There is even the determination and clean means to cut off the past.

With the blessings of these parties, Liu Rui's path in the future must be based on sweeping away all obstacles with great strength.This kind of absolute strength and uprightness is also an extremely rare way of practice.Either be strong all the way to the end; or be strong and easy to break with little room for maneuver.

After Liu Rui's heart calamity was untied, Zhang Yan moved back to the mountain and continued to clean up.On the other hand, Liu Rui sorted out what she had gained from this great advancement of Dao Xin on the spot.Then she decided to go to Yaozu.In her words, since the Yaozu's extremely powerful way to sweep away all obstacles is not only a matter of Dao Xin, but also a matter of killing methods.Except for the Yaozu, there is no other place in this world that is so suitable for practicing killing methods.

And compared to the ghosts that are effectively controlled on the land of the human race today, there are still large-scale ravages in the land of the monster race.Going to the Yaozu is much more meaningful than continuing to travel in the human race.At least that's true for Liu Rui.

Back in the mountains, Zhang Yan discovered an interesting change.

When Zhang Yan was in the mountain gate before, he always stayed in the Dengyun Hall, or on the Yingtiantai, and rarely went around the mountain, especially in the middle and lower half of the mountain.

Before returning to the mountain this time, Liu Rui begged Zhang Yan to help her see the spiritual seeds she had planted behind the Lingxiu Building.It would be even better if we could simply record some changes after more than a year.

Looking at his apprentice's pleading eyes, Zhang Yan naturally couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

Although his perception covered the entire cliff mountain, Zhang Yan didn't pay much attention to the vegetation in it.Even recently, because he is busy preparing for the next catastrophe, Zhang Yan's thoughts are mostly on himself, and he doesn't care about the many changes on the cliff mountain.As long as there is no intrusion into the mountain gate, he will not be distracted.

But when Zhang Yan sensed the small medicine field behind Lingxiu Building after returning to the mountain this time, an unexpected scene came into his mind.

I saw a fox leading the other three little foxes, each holding a half-opened gourd in its mouth. There was some water in the gourd, and they were giving medicine to the new crops from Liu Rui in the field little by little. The spirit seed is pouring water.

Foxes line up to serve the medicine fields? !

Anyway, it was the first time Zhang Yan noticed this kind of thing.So he moved to the nearest hidden place to see what happened to these foxes with his own eyes.

Zhang Yan recognized one of the four foxes, the biggest one, the orange-red and white one, and he remembered Liu Rui named it "Little Clever".

And this fox has also been enlightened by Zhang Yan, and he intentionally guides it to the "demon", not the demon clan in the wild world.It looks surprisingly good now.

No, he has already learned how to flatter others.And it's a precise flattering.The person who is in charge of the entire Cliff Mountain and has a good impression of these spirit beasts is Liu Rui.Yang Rui didn't care too much, Wang Nian always thought about what it's like to barbecue with spirit beasts.So flattery can only be flattered on Liu Rui.

And Liu Rui seldom needs the help of spirit beasts.Now that he has traveled far and experienced, there is only this medicine field left.

Zhang Yan felt it carefully, these foxes are really not fooling around, even if Liu Rui is not in the mountains, they will honestly serve the spirit species in the medicine field in the best way.For example, the water contained in the gourds they brought is not an ordinary mountain spring, but a spiritual spring gushing from the bottom of the mountain, and the water flows through the place where the spiritual veins gather in the mountainside.

But because the output of Lingquan is not much, it is only a small strand as thin as a little finger, so it is generally divided up by the spirit beasts in the mountains.It is very rare to be able to be loaded so much by a few foxes.

Watching "Little Smart", the aura is already very strong. According to Zhang Yan's hints, there is already a mass of aura gathering in its chest and abdomen and producing a unique transformation.

Unlike humans, although spirit beasts breathe out the essence of heaven and earth aura, sun and moon, they cannot directly apply aura.They need to make a detour and gather the aura in their chest, which is similar to a monk's dantian, and then accumulate the aura to form a new kind of power that belongs to them alone: ​​demon power.

Spiritual beasts that produce demon power can actually be called "monsters".

And when the demon power gathers to a certain level, there will be signs of materialization similar to monk Dao Dan, and he will officially become a demon cultivator.

Therefore, "little cleverness" has actually broken away from the category of spirit beasts, and should be called "monsters".The first real monster in the wild world, the fox monster, is not an indigenous monster like Baronka.

"Based on this, wouldn't Xiao Zhiming become the ancestor of all demons in Desolate Heaven Territory? Tsk tsk." Zhang Yan couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.

The ancestor of all monsters!The title is big enough.But at this moment there is absolutely no way to connect with a beautiful and cute furry fox.

Except for "Little Clever", the other three foxes obviously did not respond with demonic power. They should be spirit beasts who were followed by "Little Clever" to form a gang and practice.

For these spirit beasts, since they have developed their wisdom, cultivation is the top priority, and many habits will change spontaneously because of this.For example, follow the strong of the same race.

Because of watering and flattering, Zhang Yan suddenly became interested in the animals and plants in the cliff mountain.Counting the time, it has been several years since the Cliff Mountain became a blessed land and was moved from time to time with new spiritual veins returning to continue to gain spiritual energy.The changes in the mountains were far greater than what Zhang Yan thought.And his discoveries were followed by these four foxes before he slowly set his sights on the middle and lower half of the entire cliff mountain.

Whether it is vegetation or animals, there are basically no unusual things to be found in the cliff mountain.Even an inconspicuous grass about an inch high on the ground contains some traces of spiritual energy, which belongs to spiritual seeds, and even if you look carefully, there are some medicinal effects in it.

The vegetation is still like this, and the animals have all become spirit beasts.Even a gopher would find an open rock to climb up at night, put on a strange posture, and absorb the essence of the moon on its own.

Have you ever seen a fox eat fruit?Zhang Yan hadn't seen it before, but now he saw it.

And those four foxes are even more amazing, not only will they practice on their own, they will find fruits that can be eaten and increase their aura, and they will even leave the cliff mountain to hunt wild food near some nearby villages.

The wild food eaten by the foxes made Zhang Yan also feel something different from the past beyond the range of the cliff mountain.

Chapter 474

The fox is a demon and has strange eyes, so it is easy for ghosts to eat it.

This is a record of fox demons in Daoist Miscellaneous Notes. It says that after foxes become demons, they will develop unusual eyes, which will not be troubled by the boundary between yin and yang, and they will instinctively hunt ghosts.

And the more ghosts it preys on, the more eerie and frightening the fox demon's temperament will be.On the contrary, foxes that prey less or do not prey on ghosts will remain alive and become uniquely friendly due to their talents.

In other words, the ghost-eating fox is not likable, but there is another way to become stronger.Fox demons who don't eat ghosts or eat less will be more likable.

Therefore, in many stories, monks kill demons and eliminate demons, and most of the demons killed are those "unlikable" demons.

Ghost-eating and soul-eating demons are one of them.

However, "Little Clever" and its partners didn't know that eating ghosts in Huangtian Territory was not only unpleasant, but also evil to this world.At that time, it would be no fun to give them merit aura like a reward.At least this is not so suitable for Zhang Yan's future plans.
