Chapter 5: Cultivating Immortals First Cultivating People
"You're only half right."
Mr. Liang laughed at himself with a drunken mouth, his drunken eyes seemed to have evoked some memories, and he said with some indignation:
"Everyone wants to become an immortal. How can it be so easy to become an immortal? Hey! You can't even be a human being, so you still try to become an immortal? Bah!"
"Don't ever think that you can become an immortal just by reading the secrets of cultivating immortals. The first level of Taoist cultivation is to refine essence and transform energy into energy. How much essence can you, a mere mortal with an ordinary system, have to practice? Don't even say that you are successful in cultivation in the end.
Even the body has to be repaired!"
Mr. Liang was very excited when he finished speaking. The whole long solid wood table in the photo was trembling and groaning. Lin Hai felt the sadness and anger in his heart so keenly that he vaguely guessed something from it.
"The two realms of nature and nurture in martial arts are the two realms of foundation building in the Immortal Sect. Only when mortals take these two steps can they be qualified to become immortals."
"Boy Lin, please remember, if you want to cultivate as an immortal, you must first learn how to cultivate as a human being!"
Master Liang raised his glass and touched it with Lin Hai. He raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass. His movements and postures were quite heroic, as if he wanted to swallow the sweet dream of his youth together.
Lin Hai stretched out his hand and patted Mr. Liang on the back. He remembered that day at his house, when he asked him what his realm was, and how he answered calmly. He didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
This drunken meal made Mr. Liang very drunk, and it was also the scene of Lin Hai's successful apprenticeship today that touched the past in his heart for many years. When Lin Hai was sending him to the sedan chair, he heard the word "chunhua" coming and going in his mouth.
.
"Master Liang has never married and has no children."
Xiao An whispered to Lin Hai from the side. Lin Hai patted the sedan chair and told the servants carrying the sedan chair: "Good luck sending Mr. Liang back home."
Watching Mr. Liang's sedan leave, Lin Hai turned around and embarked on a different life path.
Wait a minute, aren't you just going for a run? Why do you get so excited? Those who don't know think they are going to save the world.
When Lin Hai came to the lake in the west of the city, he felt shocked for the first time.
There is continuous water vapor all around, and the end of the lake can hardly be seen from the shore to the left and right. Moreover, in this huge lake, there is also a majestic mountain island.
To be honest, if Lin Hai hadn't walked all the way, he would have thought he was at the beach.
Xiao An tugged on Lin Hai's sleeve and suggested:
"Master, isn't thirty laps a day a bit too exaggerated? How about we... reduce the number?"
Lin Hai smiled. He faced the big lake, stretched out his arms as if to embrace each other, and said boldly:
"Run! Why don't you run? If I can't even overcome this difficulty, it's useless to put the secret book of cultivating immortals in front of me! Didn't you listen to Master Liang? If you want to cultivate immortals, you must first cultivate humans!"
However, Lin Hai, who believed in Mr. Liang's words, didn't know that he would be tricked by this unreliable guy soon.
By the West Lake, there was now one more person running around day and night.
Lin Hai's physical strength was only within the range of ordinary people. He was already exhausted before finishing the first lap. However, the impact that the headless monster brought to him was too great. It was hard and tiring, it was better than having his head ripped off.
!
There was nothing in the first two laps. When Lin Hai's physical strength reached the limit and the whole world began to spin, he suddenly found that the wisp of Qi that Shang Yunfo had left in his Dantian was slowly relaxing in response to his heartbeat.
.
Lin Hai began to sweat profusely. The sweat was different from the previous ones. There were also some dark impurities coming out along with the sweat. This change gave him infinite motivation as he was nearing the end of his physical fitness.
But manpower is sometimes scarce. Lin Hai, who practiced on the first day, ran until the sun set and only managed nine laps.
There is no way, this West Lake is too big. Lin Hai estimates that a lap around the lake is at least six or seven kilometers. It is not easy for an untrained person to complete one lap in one breath. It is not easy for Lin Hai to last nine laps.
At this time, his consciousness was blurred, and he ran into a useless person who could only breathe and couldn't stand up even to fight.
"Master, it's getting very late. Let's go back and rest early. If we keep running, our bodies will be broken!"
Xiao An advised from the side and used a sweat towel to wipe off the dirt on Lin Hai's face.
Lin Hai nodded gently like a patient having an asthma attack. His whole body was sticky at this time, as if he was wrapped in a pile of mud. He wished he could jump into the West Lake in front of him and take a bath, but his reason stopped him.
He does stupid things.
The appearance of the headless monster made Lin Hai know that there were demons and ghosts in this world. Otherwise, he would insist on completing the thirty-lap task even late at night and early in the morning. And was there something underneath this unknown West Lake?
No one can tell what is hidden. Since ancient times, there have always been drowned corpses in some large mountains and lakes. Lin Hai would not go down to take a bath in the middle of the night for excitement!
Xiao An helped him sit back in the carriage. On the way back, Lin Hai couldn't help but vomited several times uncomfortably, but all he vomited out was water, and the little inventory inside was vomited out during the day.
Seeing his young master suffering so much, Xiao An was afraid that something would happen to Lin Hai. He didn't care about driving the carriage, so he knelt outside and begged Lin Hai to stop being so disrespectful to his body.
This guy was adopted in the Lin Mansion since he was a child and was trained as a confidant of the dead soldiers. He was a considerate person and was loyal to Lin Hai.
If he hadn't risked his life to wake him up that night, he might have had his head pulled out.
"Get up, I have my own sense of propriety."
Lin Hai was in so much pain at the moment that he couldn't move his hands to help him. He just said verbally, but the boy didn't listen. He just kowtowed on the ground. He could only pretend to cover his chest, looking like he was out of breath:
"Guisun, are you going to make me angry to death?"
When Xiao An saw it, he came forward to check. Lin Hai took the opportunity to grab his wrist, straightened his face and said:
"I have a wisp of innate wisdom planted by Master Shang in my body, and it doesn't matter if it looks uncomfortable! Huh? Why are you still crying?"
"The wind is strong and the sand is squinting."
Xiao An was stubborn and refused to admit it. Lin Hai said "Oh" when he heard this. After listening for a while, he suddenly curled his lips and said: "Seriously, Xiao An, you look so ugly when you cry!"
"I'm not crying! It's windy! I'm squinting!"
The voice was filled with strong anger.
"Okay, okay, squint your eyes, squint your eyes."
The carriage swayed forward, and there were not as many people walking around the streets at night as there were during the day, because most people living in ancient times got up to work around five o'clock, and their energy had been exhausted during the day, so they did not sleep at night.
Very early.
Lin Hai opened the curtains on both sides of the carriage to the maximum, allowing the night wind to blow in as much as possible, and at the same time said to Xiao An:
"When you get home, remember to ask someone to flush the carriage so that you don't smell like sweat when you sit in it tomorrow."
Xiao An was about to respond, but something came to his mind and he forced himself back.
What are you doing running against the carriage? Of course you are using it! What are you using it for? It must be running again!
Lin Hai curled his lips at Xiao An's soft resistance and knew it was time to have a heart-to-heart talk with this kid.
"Remember Chuntao, right? A little girl of fifteen or sixteen, what a good person. When she left, for a moment I really wanted to fight that monster, but what should I fight with?"
When Lin Hai talked about his mood at that time, he was a little excited for a moment. Regardless of whether Xiao An, who was driving outside the carriage, could see it, he directly stretched out his hand and gestured:
"With such a thick copper bell, it will break as soon as it takes off its claws. What can I do to fight? The current practice is an opportunity! It's okay if it's hard and tiring. It's better than running away if I encounter it again."
Xiao An looked at the street with few pedestrians, and said softly with confused eyes: "Master, I miss Sister Chuntao."
The headless monster that night not only overturned Lin Hai's outlook on life, but this unnoticed servant was also deeply shocked.
When the carriage drove to Lin's house, the night was getting late, and Lin Hai suddenly asked Xiao An: "What is your name?"
The latter was stunned for a moment and then replied: "Ping'an, Lin Ping'an."
"Good name."
"The master started it. He wanted me to protect the young master and live in peace for the rest of his life."
"That Lin is safe, good night."
