With a Door In Mind

Zhou Xiaochuan followed the old man to the main hall and looked around.

The wooden structure of the house is surrounded by a lot of fur and animal bones, as well as some bow and arrow weapons. The layout is a bit like the cottage in the movie Zuo Shandiao.

"My lord, please sit down!"

Wu Qi took him to a room in an inner room and motioned him to sit down. Then he took the lead and sat on the back of the coffee table.

Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at the futon made of hemp rope on the ground, and curiously learned that the other party was sitting cross-legged on the futon.

After the old man sat down, he didn't speak, but took a small coal stove and lit the charcoal inside with a torch. Take out a clay pot, take out something from the bottle and jar next to it, and pour it into it.

There is milk. There is tea powder.

There are onion, ginger, jujube, cornel, mint, orange peel and other seasonings. There were also things he couldn't understand.

The amount of each is not much, just a little bit of each, put them in a clay pot and cook together. Seeing this thing, Zhou Xiaochuan felt dizzy for a while.

At this time, he thought of one thing. It seems that before the Tang Dynasty on the earth, tea was not drunk, but a bunch of things were boiled in it. This is not making tea, is it?

While thinking, the old man looked at Zhou Xiaochuan after finishing the work.

He asked with deep eyes: "My lord, dare to ask, isn't your lord from this county?" Hearing this, Zhou Xiaochuan took his eyes away from the clay pot.

He glanced at him suspiciously: "Old man, what do you mean by that?" The old man smiled when he heard this, "Because you don't understand anything!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Xiaochuan was silent for a while.

It is not surprising that people from two different worlds are completely different in terms of language, clothing, and living habits. He didn't even think about avoiding the eyes of these people.

Those who treat others as fools are really fools, although these people look like some natives. But it was a little different from the natives I imagined.

Thinking of this, he smiled and nodded: "Old man, to be honest, I don't know where I am from. Our place has always been closed, and I have never been out since I was a child. I really don't understand. As for where I come from Come on, it’s really inconvenient to tell me.”

The old man heard this,

Nodding his head slightly, he had some guesses in his heart.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan looked around, and then slowly asked: "Old man, can you tell me about the situation here, I want to know something, anything is fine. Also, why do you call me my lord? Also, how can you speak our language?"

"Because you are too strong and too weak, my lord!"

Hearing these contradictory words, Zhou Xiaochuan was puzzled for a while: "What do you mean?"

The old man tidied up his sackcloth and said with a smile, "Because your lord is an orthodox spiritual practitioner!" Zhou Xiaochuan probably had something to do with his thoughts when he heard this.

He didn't speak, and looked at the old man, wanting him to continue explaining.

Seeing this, the old man explained: "The monks in Dongzhou are divided into Yuanxiu and Lingxiu. As the name suggests, Yuanxiu communicates with the world and absorbs the vitality of the world through his body.

And spiritual practice is to cultivate the spiritual sea first! ..."

Following the old man's explanation, Zhou Xiaochuan felt uneasy for a while. Damn, there really is a cultivation system.

"Yuanxiu practice is divided into physical body, Naqi, Guiyuan, and Zangling. Only when you have cultivated to the realm of Zangling, can you use the spiritual sea and mobilize the vitality of the world.

And spiritual cultivation can cultivate the spiritual sea from the very beginning. The cultivation speed is countless times faster than normal people...」

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Xiaochuan's thin body and smiled, "My lord, your body is really too weak. That's why I said you are an orthodox spiritual practice."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaochuan probably understood what it meant.

To put it bluntly, Yuanxiu and Lingxiu practice both lead to the same goal in the end.

Yuanxiu has cultivated to an advanced level, and he can also cultivate the spiritual sea, and Lingxiu will open the spiritual sea in advance to assist Yuanxiu in his cultivation, and the speed will be very fast.

The so-called orthodox spiritual practice is to only cultivate the spiritual sea, so as to destroy the world in one thought. then

A moment of doubt.

"But... I see that quite a few of you here can use Linghai! You are all... Is that what you call the realm of hidden spirits?" After hearing this, the old man shook his head with a wry smile. Shaking his head, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket.

"That's not a spiritual sea. It's a spiritual object after your spiritual practice. We can barely use it until we bleed." Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan curiously reached out to take it and take a look.

The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally passed the jade pendant over.

Zhou Xiaochuan naturally saw the old man's hesitation just now, but he still took it and looked it up in his palm. Holding the thing in his hand, it is an ordinary jade pendant with an animal carved on it.

I don't know what kind of animal this is.

However, he also discovered that although the old man handed him the jade pendant, the old man's thoughts were still there, which must have something to do with the bleeding just now. Probably because he was afraid that he would destroy things.

He didn't see any tricks, so he returned the jade pendant to him.

He asked casually: "Old man, according to what you said, there seems to be no big difference between Yuanxiu and Lingxiu, right? Just practice faster at the beginning? And this fast jade pendant can only speed up your cultivation? Is there any other use?"

Since wearing this jade pendant can speed up cultivation, then this jade pendant should be very important.

The old man smiled wryly when he heard the words, and shook his head: "This is a spirit created by a spiritual master. You can't mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth into your body, otherwise there will be conflicts."

Zhou Xiaochuan probably understood what it meant, probably there was some kind of spiritual thought in it, so it couldn't enter the body. Like the rejection imagination of blood transfusion.

Don't understand, but that's how he understood it.

Seeing this, the old man continued to explain: "In addition to mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the range, this jade pendant only has the function of storing things, and has no other functions."

"As for the difference between Yuanxiu and Lingxiu you just said? The difference is quite big. The younger you are, the better your cultivation is. After speeding up your spiritual cultivation, your foundation will be more solid.

In addition, Yuanxiu can only cultivate himself, and the ability of spiritual cultivation is quite complicated. For example, this jade pendant is just the simplest low-level jade pendant. Others include substitute jade pendants, teleportation jade pendants... ··These can only be completed through spiritual practice, and Yuanxiu can only start to make these things when he has cultivated to the realm of hidden spirits...」

When Zhou Xiaochuan heard that the jade pendant had a storage function, he was already surprised and wanted to ask. But he still refrained from asking.

And he didn't expect Lingxiu to be so powerful.

This caused his heart, which had not been shocked all this time, to set off a stormy sea.

When the old man stopped talking, he calmed down and asked slowly: "Where did you get this jade pendant? I see that the tribe opposite just now has it, and your tribe also has it. By the way, you just said What is the substitute jade pendant for?"

Although not many, there are several. This thing is powerful!

And the substitute jade pendant mentioned by the other party just now reminded him of a person, a person lying on a hospital bed. Maybe this thing works!

"This is sold in the big tribes in the forest, but the price is not cheap. You have to dig up yuan jade to exchange it."

After the old man finished speaking, he explained the stand-in jade pendant: "Oh, the stand-in jade pendant is more valuable. After bleeding, an identical person will appear, and the main body can control the stand-in from a distance."

Zhou Xiaochuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Then if the Lord's body dies, will the jade pendant return to its original appearance? And what is the Yuanyu you're talking about? Is it money?" I had too many questions, so I could only ask them out of my head.

Hearing his words, the old man shook his head helplessly, he really didn't know where Zhou Xiaochuan came from. Why don't you understand these basic things?

Is my guess wrong?

But he still didn't dare to offend the other party, so he explained quietly.

"Yuanyu is a kind of jade with vitality. Lingxiu no longer looks at ordinary coins. What they want is Yuanyu.

! As for the stand-in jade pendant you mentioned, if the main body dies, the jade pendant will return to its original appearance..."

After the old man patiently explained, he waved his hand, and a 3 cm square jade appeared in his hand. Carefully put it on the table.

After Zhou Xiaochuan finished listening, he slowly understood. Then he looked at the so-called yuan jade handed over by the old man.

It looks similar to suet jade, but he can feel that this is different from the jade in the mainland, because there is a strange energy fluctuation in it.

It's an indescribable feeling.

Just this piece of jade is much better than the quality of my suet jade.

I'm a little disappointed, if only the jade from my side can be used, it's equivalent to being able to spend jade here. But it doesn't matter, I have a way in the future.

I asked how this Yuanyu came from, and learned that it was mined from Yuanyu Mountain, and it was all occupied by powerful forces. The previous jade pendant was also made from leftover scraps after the vitality inside was used up.

As for the double jade pendant mentioned by the old man, it ranges from the lowest level of 1,000 yuan jade to the highest level of priceless jade.

Zhou Xiaochuan heard some movement outside, thought of something and asked the old man: "Old man, what is the highest level of cultivation in the tribe?"

"The people in our tribe who cultivated the most are people like Wu Mang, whose physical body is 9th level! Especially Wu Mang, it should be no problem to enter the Qi-receiving state in the future. In his lifetime, even returning to the Yuan state is not hopeless."

The old man spoke with a glimmer of hope, and then sighed: "If it weren't for the catastrophe in Dongzhou 17 years ago, there would be one or two hopefuls in every generation here, and it would not be impossible to go to the college in Northwest County. .Now······"

In the end, he didn't want to talk anymore. While thinking, the water in the clay pot boiled.

With a wave of his hand, the old man took out several ceramic cups and put them in front of him, and poured boiled water into them. Pushing a cup in front of him: "My lord, please use tea!"

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at something that looked like gruel, and his head went black. Are you sure it's drinkable?

Shaking his head and laughing, "Forget it, old man, I have my own tea! Try mine." After speaking, an enamel teapot appeared in his hand.

A few more porcelain cups appeared.

He poured the tea that had been prepared before in the still space into the cup, and pushed a cup in front of the old man.

The old man looked at the water in the glass, and was shocked for a while: "Yuanye? This... There is Yuanye in it? No, Yuanlingye?" Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan turned his attention to the quilt superior.

A heartbeat.

Yuanye?

Could it be space spring water?

Don't think about it, it must be this.

Just what is Yuanye? What is Yuanlingye?

He is like a novice now, absorbing the blind spots of his knowledge. Seeing his expression, the old man smiled wryly.

Then he explained: "Yuan Ye is actually the liquefaction of Yuan Qi, which is the same as Yuan Yu. It can only be found in places where Yuan Qi is particularly strong. Ten drops of Yuan Ye are equivalent to a piece of Yuan Stone, which can help Yuan Xiu practice.

The Yuanling Liquid can help spiritual practice, ten drops of Yuanling Liquid is equivalent to a piece of Yuanling Stone. "

After finishing speaking, the old man asked him a little anxiously: "Master Lingxiu, can this water be given to Wu Mang to drink?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaochuan thought for a while, and finally nodded: "This is the water I offered you to drink. As for who you give it to, I don't care. But I want to see how you practice cultivation, okay?"

He also wanted to see how to cultivate.

As for the Yuanye just mentioned, he guessed that it might be the spring water of ordinary jade, and Yuanlingye might be the spring water decomposed from jadeite. When the old man heard this, he was excited, "Yes, yes!"

After apologizing, he quickly got up and walked outside. After a while, Wu Mang was brought over.

After the other party came in, he looked blank, and when he saw the water glass on the table, he also looked shocked. But the clan elder didn't speak, and he didn't dare to say anything.

After the old man came in, he carefully picked up the water glass, put it in his palm, pointed to the open space beside him and said, "Drink the water, try your luck."

Hearing this, Wu Mang glanced at Zhou Xiaochuan, then at the old man.

Without hesitation, he drank the water in one gulp, chewed even the tea leaves and swallowed it. Then sit cross-legged on the ground.

close your eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan stared at the other party.

I saw Wu Mang's face slowly turning red, with a look of pain on his face, and the muscles of his exposed thick arms swelled up like an inflated balloon.

There are also things like small earthworms swimming in the blood vessels. Varicose veins?

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xiaochuan muttered softly. This fucking practice turned into varicose veins?

But he didn't say anything, and continued to watch quietly.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, an inaudible sound came out, and Wu Mang also roared. Zhou Xiaochuan was startled by him.

Damn, what's your name!

Then he felt that the air in the air seemed to move slowly, moving towards Wu Mang's body slowly. After waiting for another ten minutes, when the air calmed down, Wu Mang suddenly opened his eyes.

The old man looked excited: "How is it?"

Wu Mang nodded excitedly, "Clan elder, it's done, it's done." Then he got up and stood up.

"Good, good, good! Great." The old man said a few good words in shock.

"Since the catastrophe happened and your father's group passed away, there has finally been a young person in the tribe who has received energy. He still hopes to participate in the recruitment of Donglin County."

After the old man finished speaking, he said excitedly: "Quickly inform the whole tribe, Daqing is today!" Wu Mang nodded and looked at Zhou Xiaochuan.

Under his surprised gaze, Wu Mang thumped and knelt down on one knee: "Thank you, Lord Lingxiu, for your kindness of reinvention. Wu Mang will never forget it." This sentence was spoken in jerky Chinese.

Zhou Xiaochuan felt a little embarrassed seeing this scene, he always felt embarrassed about kneeling. "You're welcome, get up!"

The other party nodded, stood up, said hello and left.

After the people left, Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the water cup on the table and asked: "Old man, can this Yuanye and Yuanlingye be used as money to buy things? If possible, I want to buy something, jade pendants like yours , as well as stand-in jade pendants and the like.”

"Yes, definitely!"

After the old man finished speaking, he said to him: "However, this thing is only available in Donglin County, and the quantity is very small. We will go to the market every month when we go to the market, and the grain will be harvested in about half a month. We will go there at that time, if you are not in a hurry, I will take you there together? We...」

At the end, the old man hesitated: "Sir, you...can't make spiritual objects?" Zhou Xiaochuan nodded: "I haven't learned this before."

Hearing this, the old man was disappointed for a while, "We are going to ask the adults for a water-gathering jade pendant!" Zhou Xiaochuan probably understood what it meant when he heard this word.

Then he asked, "Is it because of the crops outside? Can't we and you guys buy jade pendants?"

"My lord, you don't know! After the natural catastrophe, the price of the water-gathering jade pendant is getting higher and higher. It is very difficult to buy it now. If you can't buy it, the forest will not be able to survive in a few years. And without rain, food will also be lost." owed."

Having said that, the old man sighed. Zhou Xiaochuan nodded slightly when he heard the words.

This is no longer a planet. It is no longer easy to survive under the condition of 17 years of little rain. But he didn't know the situation here, what if this place wasn't a planet in the first place!

But for water, he has some ideas.

When there was a flood in the space before, a lot was collected, and there was no place to release it, fearing that it would cause a flood disaster. Isn't this just usable?

Moreover, there is so much water in Lake Baikal that it can be said that it cannot be used up. I looked at the time, it was getting late.

Although he still has a lot of doubts, he has to go back. There is still a wife waiting at home! And there is a room in the stone house!

He wanted to see what was inside.

Thinking of this, he said to the old man: "Old man, it's getting late, I have to go back, but I know a place with water, next time I come back, I'll bring you some. Why don't you dig a water pond."

Hearing this, the old man became excited for a while: "Really?" "Well, really!"

After Zhou Xiaochuan finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Old man, I would like to ask, do you have Yuanxiu method here? I want to see? Is there any spiritual practice?"

When the old man heard that there was water, he was happy for a while.

When he heard the method he wanted to cultivate, he hesitated for a moment, and took out a yellowed book from Yu Peili.

He said solemnly: "This is the cultivation method of our tribe. You can return it to us after reading it. Please don't spread it to outsiders!"

If it weren't for seeing that the other party is a spiritual practitioner, and his level is very high, he would not be interested in this thing, and he would never be able to tell the cultivation method of his tribe.

This is the root of a tribe's foothold here. Although they are just a small tribe.

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded, and took the book: "Don't worry, I'm just looking at it, and I'll return it soon. It's getting late, so I'll go back first." The old man nodded slightly, and led him out of the hall.

At this time, there was a burst of excitement outside, diluting the sadness of the previous death. Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at it, and the food he cooked was just rice porridge.

This is also called Daqing?

Shaking his head, under the escort of the old man, he came to the side of the motorcycle.

People nearby were discussing, but Zhou Xiaochuan didn't understand a word.

Zhou Xiaochuan came to the side of the motorcycle and started the motorcycle under the curious eyes of everyone, and immediately some people scattered in shock. There are also people who have seen it and are not afraid.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the village behind him, then rode his bicycle and left.

Driving on the sand and rocks, headed towards the direction of the mountain pass.

But there is no past.

When he came to a nearby big rock, he saw no one around, so he went back to the space directly.

After coming in, he didn't go back in a hurry, but looked at the book he just got in the space. Want to see what this looks like.

After opening it, looking at the various postures on it, it looks a bit like a martial arts cheat book. At the end, there are a few prescriptions attached, which should be used when practicing martial arts.

It's a pity that he can't understand most of the characters on it. They should be local characters. Why do they look like seal characters? can't read.

Thinking about taking it back and looking for someone to study it?

If he couldn't understand it, he didn't plan to read it. He planned to ask someone to translate it when he went back. If it didn't work, he had to ask old man Wu. Put things away.

The jade seal appeared again in his hand, and he came to the stone house. Go to the small door next to it and try to open the room.

As his thoughts moved, the stone door slowly opened by itself.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan knew that it was the function of the jade seal, but he couldn't figure out what the jade seal was. At this moment, his eyes were attracted by the room in front of him.

After walking in, the place doesn't look very big. There is a wooden bed, a wooden bookshelf, and dozens of wooden boxes next to it. Nothing else.

The wooden frame is five meters wide and estimated to be hundreds of meters high.

The bottom layer has the most books, at least hundreds of books, while the top layer has at least three books in total. Out of curiosity, Zhou Xiaochuan went to the bookshelf and picked out a book at random.

But when he got a book, he couldn't get it out. strangeness!

With doubts, he tried a few more books, but he still couldn't get them out, even from the bottom. Strangely, he thought for a while, and tried to use his mind.

Huh! active!

The others didn't move, but the books on the bottom shelf were taken down by him following his movements. Looked it up,

It is similar to the book that old man Wu gave himself.

It's just that this book is more complicated and thicker. Shaking his head, he still couldn't understand the words on it.

He took a few copies in a row, and he didn't read it again because it was meaningless.

Putting the thing down, he tried other book layers.

But except for a slight movement on the second floor, there was no movement at all, as if thoughts were like strength, and one's own strength was not enough.

After putting the things down, he was going to check the box next to him.

But when he thought of something, he stopped, turned around, and with a thought, he took out a book he had read before. Thoughts scanned the books.

"boom!"

There was a shock, and Zhou Xiaochuan felt that the whole book seemed to come alive, and he was rehearsing it in his mind. At this moment, he understood the meaning of the book.

This is a book about cultivation. After reading this and then reading the book given by the old man, I feel that the content of that book is too simple.

It introduces the division of realms of cultivation: physical body, breathing energy, returning to origin, hiding spirits, ecstasy, enlightenment, and other realms later, but this book does not introduce them.

This book only introduces the cultivation of the hidden spirit realm.

However, the book given by the old man only reaches the Guiyuan Realm, and it barely reaches the Guiyuan Realm, and there is no follow-up cultivation method. And the cultivation speed is very slow.

It is estimated that the tribe is too weak.

And it is mentioned in it that after reaching the state of ecstasy, one can wander the universe in a dignified way. Seeing this, he was excited for a while.

Can I go back to the past?

Thinking of this, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, read the book once, and prepared to try again when he has time! However, there are several prescriptions in it, which can strengthen the body.

After reading it, I put the book back and wanted to read other books.

But this time he felt very strenuous when he took the book again, and he also felt a little sleepy. It's just that the title of the book attracted his attention very much.

Devotional! He really wants to see it.

But in the end, he still didn't look at it again, feeling that he was too sleepy.

Anyway, he can't escape here, he has plenty of time to watch, and he will come over and take a look later. After putting the book back, he set his sights on the wooden box next to him.

The size is one meter square.

The further back the box has exquisite carvings on it.

With doubts, he opened the first wooden box, and he still needed the help of his mind to open the wooden box. Zhou Xiaochuan shook his heavy head.

This is all at home, why is it so hard to look at something?

But when he saw the first box, he blinked.

This box looks to be one meter square, but inside it is very huge, as large as a dozen or so cubic meters. There are a pile of jade blocks neatly stacked inside.

It was exactly the kind of jade that the old man showed him before, but this jade looked a little different from the old man's. He picked up a piece, put it in his hand and looked around.

Can't tell the difference.

With doubts, I checked other boxes, but only this box could be opened, and the others still couldn't be opened. Damn!

Zhou Xiaochuan was speechless for a while, why set so many conditions!

At this moment, he didn't have time to think about this problem, because it was almost time to get off work, and his wife would be angry if he didn't go back. Anyway, things can't be escaped here, and he still has a lot of doubts that have not been solved.

Does his appearance here have anything to do with the disaster in Dongzhou? I can only wait to find out later.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly changed the venue.
