A true life

The two practice books are not made of ordinary paper, each page is translucent white, it doesn't look like a mundane thing.Shen Dong wrapped them in silk with great care and handed them over to Ah Chen, and Ah Chen began to learn to practice like this.

But before that, he had to learn to read and write.Shen Dong was literate, so he took those two books as textbooks, taught Ah Chen to recognize a few lines every day, and then learned to write after reading.This process is very boring, how can ordinary teenagers sit still.But Ah Chen is surprisingly hardworking, often Shen Dong fell asleep and he would still read and practice calligraphy under the lamp, or meditate with his eyes closed to adjust his breath, he would never go to sleep until he completed his daily tasks, he was really stubborn.In the dark and cold night, only the dim yellow light of the oil lamp danced there, as if it also had life. The light coated the frail young man with a layer of gold.

With such efforts, Ah Chen's progress is very obvious.Those two practice books were seven or eight thousand words in total, and by winter he could already read them by heart and recite them silently, and he would write most of the words.If the depth of Taoism is based on knowledge as the standard, then Ah Chen will definitely be among the best.It's a pity that the way of cultivating Taoism really values ​​talent too much. He has worked so hard and can only barely sense the aura of heaven and earth, but he can't condense the aura in his body.And to reach the state of "concentrating mind and refining Qi" that Ji Lang said, it is even more necessary to be able to "gather spirits into a sea" and form a "spiritual sea" in the body. I don't know when it will be possible to do this.So Ah Chen is often angry with himself.He was angry at himself for being so useless, why he couldn't even learn such a basic Taoism.

Seeing that Ah Chen was depressed all day long, his delicate eyebrows were wrinkled all day long, and he stayed up all night, Shen Dong tried to persuade him a few times, but he was afraid that he would hurt the child seriously, so he was very anxious.

Early this morning, Shen Dongduo made some steamed buns and simmered them in the pot, changed into clean clothes, and packed oranges, chestnuts, and fresh green spirit vegetables from his own fruit trees in bits and pieces. After finishing the car, he said to Ah Chen: "There is no vegetable oil at home. I will go to the town to buy some, and then sell the vegetables on the way. I guess I will come back in the afternoon. You watch the door at home. There are too many steamed buns in the pot. Eat when you are hungry. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."

There are always snacks at home, even if you don't cook, you can't get hungry at all.But usually, Shen Dong always took him with him in the last episode, and now he was left alone at home, so Ah Chen asked, "Don't you need me to help, Dad?"

"I'll go with you Uncle Tie Zhu and the others. Don't go if they are taking care of you. It's freezing cold, and you'll have to suffer back and forth." Shen Dong smiled and patted Ah Chen's head, telling him to stay at home with peace of mind. Put on the bullock cart and go out.

After eating, Ah Chen cleaned the house briefly, watered the fruit trees and a few clusters of flowers in the yard, and sat beside the tall flower trees to adjust his breath and refine his Qi, and continued to work hard to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

There was still no improvement, and the thread-like spiritual energy dissipated after staying in the body for a short time.Ah Chen didn't give up, and tried his best to mobilize the aura to flow into his body. His internal organs and meridians couldn't bear the impact, and soon became extremely painful.Ah Chen's face turned pale all of a sudden, until he couldn't bear it anymore, he gradually stopped, holding his chest and panting for a long time before he recovered.

This is not the first time this has happened.Muscles and bones often hurt, and Chen, who is inexperienced, does not know that he has suffered internal injuries.

After resting for a while, after lunch, a child from the farm came to ask him to dig yams together.Ah Chen is a bit withdrawn, and actually doesn't like to go crazy with other children.Another thing is that these children always have thick noses, and Ah Chen likes to be clean, so he can't look at them at all.However, Shen Dong likes to eat sweet potatoes, which grow in the wild and taste a bit like bamboo shoots, but softer and more delicious.After thinking for a while, Ah Chen closed the doors and windows, carried the baskets on his back, took a small shovel and went out of the village with the group of children.Although there is no one in the house, just close the door. The folk customs here are simple and simple, and the housekeepers are not guarding against thieves, or watching wild cats and dogs.

The children were really energetic, and ran all the way to a field at the foot of Dongyun Mountain. There are several places here that love to grow wild yams.After searching for a while, Ah Chen spotted a purple-black rhizome of a wild yam. He dug in the soil with a small shovel, and then he dug out a piece of red-skinned yam that was as thick as a small radish. The skin and sliced ​​meat are delicious when fried together.

He searched and dug all the way, and when he dug up another six or seven pieces of yams, Ah Chen found that he was about to enter the forest.It is close to human habitation, and beasts are rare, but it is better to be careful.Ah Chen was about to turn back when he saw a white ball falling from the sky and landed in front of him at once, causing the dust all over his shoe.

Before Ah Chen could react, the white ball came alive, turned over, tilted his head, and looked at Ah Chen with his big amber eyes, but it turned out to be a small animal.A Chen was a little surprised, and also looked at the white ball.The white ball is small in size, about the size of a big orange, and looks like a dog, but its hair is silver and shiny all over, and there are streaks of dark silver patterns, which Dust has never seen before.

The man and the beast looked at each other for a while, then Bai Qiu blinked suddenly, wailed twice, wagged its tail, and rolled to Ah Chen's feet.Because the white ball is too small, and it really doesn't look like a beast, so Ah Chen didn't feel scared, but it was a little strange.He couldn't help but take a step back and stared at the little white ball, but he didn't know that the little white ball stretched out two paws and grabbed his trouser legs, and then the hug was not loose.

Ah Chen was very embarrassed, fearing that this rascal dog from nowhere would bite his cotton pants, he bent down to try to pull the white ball away, but the white ball took the opportunity to jump into his arms, and burrowed into his clothes desperately. "Come down, don't damage my clothes!" Ah Chen was so surprised that he didn't know what to do with the white ball in his arms.

When Ah Chen was fighting the rogue dog, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of his eyes, and as the wind passed by, a man stood lightly on the thick pine branch in front of him.

Seeing someone coming, Ah Chen put away his expression, stood up straight and looked at the person silently.But I saw that the person who came was just a young man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, broad chest and broad shoulders, very heroic.But he was wearing a sky blue gown, carrying a long sword, and standing on the tree in that posture, obviously a practitioner, Ah Chen felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

The young cultivator also looked at Mo Chen for a while, then smiled gently, and said to Mo Chen: "My little friend, the Frost Moon Dog in your arms has stolen a lot of spiritual grass from my clan. Bring it back for punishment, can you give it to me?"
