Chapter 29
Li Ji was not discouraged. He was ready for failure thousands of times. At this time, persistence was the most important thing. Not to mention that he, an adult in his twenties, even those Taoist children, none of them retreated.
Even if you persist, you still have to talk about the method. The facts proved that the barbaric method of last night was not effective. So he began to constantly change the rhythm of practicing qi and psychics, or concentrate on qi and psychics at sunrise and sunset, or rest to fully pursue qi and quality, or continuously qi and try to see whether there is any surprise after mental fatigue. Everything you can think of was done. Ten days later, Li Ji looked at his reflection in the Yudai River, with a stubble face and a body full of fatigue. He finally realized that if he did not make any changes, his road to the Tao might end here.
Li Ji is not the only one who is in poor condition. In fact, most Taoist children look exhausted, and even a few young Taoist children are sent out of the blessed land because they cannot bear the pressure. Even if everyone works so hard, after ten days, no one is successful in feeling the energy. The feeling of the stone wall tests not only the perception of the inspiration, but also the character and tenacity of a person... The deep meaning of Taoism is actually not that simple...
Sitting cross-legged by the Yudai River, Li Ji calmed down and thought about some questions repeatedly: What do I need to come to this world? Do I sit in a cave like a stone and meditate all day long just for the empty and ethereal road to becoming an immortal? What is the meaning of such a road? No food, no women, no friends and family, no laughter and scolding... If the cultivation of the truth is like this, even if I truly cultivate to become an immortal, what happiness can I have? It is just an eternal and unchanging stone without emotions. Is this what he wants?
What do I like? Happiness, freedom, and unrestrainedness are essential. I actually like women, why not? I also like money. It is best to own a big house in a beautiful place and go home when I am tired of traveling through the world... If I can only live for decades with all this, compared to becoming a stone with countless lifespans, which one would I choose?
He took out his dagger and shaved his beard cleanly. The cool river water made his thoughts clearer. ‘That’s it,’ turned around and walked towards the town.
The town in the Fudi Land of Xinyuemen is famous Gukou Town. The town is not big, with a population of about two or three thousand. There are all kinds of shops in the town, and there are several food shops of all sizes. It is their happiest thing to start a disciple in Xinyue. Each food shop makes a lot of money. The chefs in the town are ordinary, but they can't stand the food. The vegetables, vegetables, cattle and sheep produced in the Fudi Land taste different from those outside, as if they have some inspiration.
Unlike the hurriedly dealing with a few days ago, Li Ji enjoyed the blessed food this time. After walking out of the food shop, he slowly wandered around the streets of the town. He was not intending to give up feeling angry or giving up cultivation, he just wanted to use his own way.
What is Li Ji's method? In fact, he couldn't explain clearly that eating, drinking, sleeping well, is this the premise? Speaking of sleep, since time travel, he has never felt meditation and breathing can replace sleep. To be honest, breathing can indeed nourish the spirit, restore energy, and improve the quality of sleep, but it cannot really replace sleep. In the cave, there is no bed, no quilt, no door, and no difference from sleeping in the wild. How can such a rest be adjusted? Therefore, Li Ji's first purpose in entering the town is to find a place where he can sleep.
There are no inns and hotels in Gukou Town, because they are not available, and there are neither merchants nor people who visit relatives. Therefore, Li Ji could only see if he could find a family that could stay overnight. The prices in this place are extremely expensive, so staying at home is probably not an easy task. Before he set out from Twin Cities, he had about a hundred taels of gold and nearly a thousand taels of silver. He spent all the money, but he was unwilling to treat himself badly. Now there are less than a hundred taels of gold and five hundred taels of silver, which is not relaxed.
It is not easy to find a house. Those who are too generous may not be able to live in. Those who are too dilapidated may be disliked. They must be clean and have few things to do. It is best not to disturb children. After finding a few houses, they were not very satisfied. When they walked to the west end of the town, a separate courtyard attracted his attention. The walls of the courtyard were painted bright yellow, and compared with the monotonous gray of other houses in the town, there was more of a sense of life.
‘克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克�
‘Wow…” The person didn’t see it, but he saw a light of water. Maybe the people in the house were used to doing this. The basin of water was really urgent and accurate. The incident happened suddenly. Li Ji did not expect that there was such danger in the dignified fairyland. Even though he was agile and half of his body had been splashed, the smell of the water seemed a bit strange...
A young woman stood in front of the door with her hips on her waist, with a plump figure and white skin as white as fat. Her curved eyes showed fierce light and she stared at the uninvited guest outside the door...
"You woman, it's so unreasonable. Why did you throw water into someone without any distinction..." Li Ji was furious. If it weren't for the woman in front of him, he would probably have moved forward.
"If you enter a house for no reason, you are a thief. You little thief dare to bite you? Believe it or not, I will smash your dog's head..." The woman was not weak at all, and she dragged out a stick from behind with one hand...
"I have to make a fuss about the reason, and I'm going to be in a different way. I've just changed my clothes, but you have to pay me a compensation..." It's not Li Ji who was stingy. He only brought two sets of clothes to change clothes when he entered the blessed land. One set was already dirty after wearing it for ten days. Today, I just washed it and hung it on the railings of the plank road outside the cave. Where can I change clothes? Gukou Town is expensive in everything, so he doesn't want to go to the garment store to be a big head.
"I'm sorry for your clothes? The little thief really dares to think about it..." The woman laughed, "When I call the Taoist, I have to commit you to break into a private house... To be honest, did you, the little thief, send you Lao Wang, the head of Zhenbei, to steal clothes and things?"
"What's the old king and the old Li, but I don't know..." Li Ji suppressed his anger. The woman was so entangled. But he was so blessed that he couldn't really be serious with her. "I came in and felt psychic when I was recruiting disciples this time. This time I just wanted to find a place to stay. I knocked at the door and called for someone. Don't you say you didn't hear it..."
"The little thief is coming to lie again. Since you are angry, why don't you stay in the stone wall? Also, most Taoist boys are in their teens. Which sect will want you if you are like you?" The woman looked disdainful.
Someone mentioned his qualifications, and Li Ji couldn't bear it. "I am willing, why am I at this age? I can't ask for the Tao? I don't steal or rob, and come in openly. There are also records in the Taoist sect. How can I do the fury of Senior Brother Fayuan to make for me? So what if I enter the town? Who stipulates that Taoist sang cannot enter the town? I haven't become an immortal, so I have to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and sleep. Where can I go in the town? I want to go to the Xinyue Gate. I let me in? You woman, unreasonable and vicious, and I don't know what to use to smear my clothes. I just have this set of clothes. Could it be that I'll be wet like this? No, I won't leave today. If I don't accompany my clothes, I won't follow the Taoist slaughter..."
Li Ji held a gun and a stick, and I finished venting it in a short time. The woman looked at him for a while, but couldn't help but laugh. Most of her fierce appearance was just pretending. As a local from Gukou Town, she certainly knew that there would be many Taoist children who could not stand the pain and would go to the town to sleep. As for age, there were all kinds of strange things in the world. Not to mention Li Ji who was in his twenties, they were dying in the past seventy-year-olds and eighty-year-olds, and some were trying to break the joints of wealth. It was not surprising at all.
