Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

Regarding Sang Ziping's state, Fang Chang's understanding is that they, the secularists, need to experience all kinds of sufferings in the world, separation of love and hatred, greed, anger, ignorance and resentment...

These related experiences and experiences are the key to progress in practice for the world-oriented sect.

Only after experiencing it can we finally break away from the mundane.

For Sang Ziping, although he had a premonition about the departure of his second apprentice Wei He, the sudden separation after years of getting along still brought a huge shock to his state of mind, and naturally there was an obvious change after breaking up.

It's just a choice between the apprentice's company and his cultivation, I don't know which one Mr. Sang will prefer.

Between gains and losses, it is also self-knowledge.

"Two, let's have breakfast." After Fang Chang came back from the morning class, he lit a fire and boiled a pot of thick soup in the cauldron, and then went to the guest room to call on Master Sang Ziping and his apprentice.

"Morning, Mr. Fang."

Sang Ziping seemed to have fully recovered from the shock of his apprentice's sudden departure yesterday, and when he saw Fang Chang's call, he immediately got up and walked out the door with his apprentice.

Fang Chang held the spoon and comforted him:

"Mr. Sang, origin and extinction are common things in the world, so there is no need to worry too much."

"Yeah." Sang Ziping nodded, it seems that he has already looked away: "I also know that my second apprentice's celestial relationship has come to an end, and he has been separated from Daofan since then, but this does not affect that he is my apprentice. Just go and visit, after all, he just left after doing nothing, and I should be happy for him if he can find his way."

"It's great that Mr. Sang can think clearly." Fang Chang said.

"Hey, this is a common thing in our school of practice. If there is something that you can't understand, it will be a disaster."

Several people sat at the dining table in the kitchen and began to have breakfast.

The main ingredient of this pot of thick soup is still sweet potato, but it is dried and smashed sweet potato powder, choked with shallots and oil... Ding, also put shredded vegetables and meat in it, sprinkled with a little salt.

The thick soup tastes very smooth, and you can feel the delicious shredded meat and fragrant vegetables when chewing, which is rich in taste.

Fang Chang and Sang Ziping were eating soup, chatting with each other.

On the other hand, Mu Anning, who was young next to him, didn't seem to have relieved himself from the sudden departure of the second senior brother. He was burying his head in eating, as if this could suppress sadness with appetite.

Sang Ziping took a mouthful of soup with a wooden spoon, put it in his mouth and said while eating: "Mr. Fang, look at the progress. The pond outside can be completed today. Anyway, if you have plenty of time, why not use stones as the bottom? That way the water will be much clearer. "

"I'm going to use this pond to grow lotus." Fang Chang shook his head, "And if you grow lotus, you can dig lotus roots to eat. If you use stones to pave it, lotus can still be planted, but it's not easy to dig lotus roots."

After eating and cleaning, the two of them continued digging in the pit with the boy Mu Anning.

The pond has already taken shape. Fang Chang plans to start filling the pond with a shallow edge and a slightly deeper center when the center is belly-deep.

With the digging below, half of the pit is soil and half is stone.

This is also the reason why the progress is not so fast. Otherwise, with Fang Chang's supernatural power, if it is fully activated, it will be done with bare hands, and it has been completed by now.

Now, in order to prevent the blade of the bronze shovel from breaking, they can only try to lower the shovel, so the progress of both of them is very slow.

Of course, since there are labor-saving tools, there is no need to be reckless like that.

Anyway, neither of them lacked time.

"Crackling."

An ordinary light sound indicated that the bronze shovel had dug another stone.

With a light pry, Fang Chang pulled out the stone from the soil, and was about to throw it on the pile of stones outside the pit, when suddenly he let out a "huh".

"What's wrong?" Sang Ziping heard the movement from Fang Chang's side and looked over.

"nice one."

Fang Chang picked up the stone, weighed it with his hands, and smiled at Sang Ziping. Mu Anning next to him also noticed the situation here, put the bronze shovel on the ground, and walked over to watch the commotion.

"There may be jade in it." Fang Chang checked the stone in his hand twice and confirmed.

"Jade?" Sang Ziping also put down his bronze shovel and walked to the side, "I have lived in the mountains for many years, and I have never seen how jade is picked from mountain rocks. Today is just a good time to learn."

Fang Chang laughed dumbfounded: "Actually, this is the first time I've seen it too."

He already knew about Yun Zhongshan's jade production, because Sun Yun, the monkey spirit, once offered him two pieces of rough jade, but he didn't know where it was produced, and he didn't ask.

"Jade is the essence of stone. A stone with jade must be more beautiful than ordinary stones. When I looked at this stone just now, I could see a trace of spiritual light flowing on the surface. I think there should be jade or other spiritual things inside. "

After performing a descaling technique, Fang Chang turned his mud-stained hands and the mud-stained stone into clean as new. Then he reached into his arms and took out his small straight-backed jade knife.

This small knife looks like jade but not jade, and it is extremely sharp.

He has been carrying it with him since it was built, and the material itself is very good. Even if it has been used as a table knife, it is obviously extraordinary now.

Fang Chang smiled and said:

"As for whether it is true or not, just open it and have a look."

"I've heard a story. There was a man who found a stone containing a peerless gem and offered it to the king of his country. As a result, everyone around him thought it was just a stubborn stone. The king cut off his left foot in anger."

"When the next king came to the throne, he went to offer it again, and then lost his right foot. When the third king came to the throne, he was not reconciled, so he went to offer it again. This time, the king was young, and he was cut open on the spot. So I got a piece of peerless gem."

Sang Ziping shook his head beside him:

"This person is too stupid."

Fang Chang swung the small jade knife and peeled the stone like a potato. When the stone touched the table knife in his hand, it was peeled off piece by piece like glue, without any crumbs.

After a while, a green light appeared on the new cut surface.

"Sure enough." He handled the knife more cautiously, no longer cutting off large pieces like the first one, but cutting open one by one, and pulled out the jade stone almost completely, then put the knife back into its sheath, and put it in his arms .

Sang Ziping took the jasper from Fang Chang's hand, looked at it carefully, and praised:

"Good jade, but she is not big."

"It's time to make some more jade pendants." Fang Chang smiled, and then he pointed to the hole under his feet: "This pond can be dug in another quarter of an hour. Now that we have encountered this jade, the pond has its name—Jiyu Pond. "

Sang Ziping said with a smile: "This name is a bit too simple, but the meaning is good."

…………

...

The section of Huanhua Creek closest to the pond will be rebuilt so that it passes through the pond.

After digging the last barrier, the stream jumped into the pit happily.

Immediately, the waterfall beside Xianqi Cliff stopped flowing, and the slender waterfall could only recover after the Biyu Pond was filled with water.

Looking at the gradually soaking bottom of the pit, Sang Ziping said to Fang Chang: "The pond has been completed, but Mr. Fang, after the pond is filled with water, the feng shui on the cliff is getting better and better?"

Fang Chang didn't pay much attention to Sang Ziping's words. He frowned and looked towards the official road down the mountain:

"There is a bad guest, Mr. Sang will go with me?"
