More than a hundred children, in this small town, seemed to have arrived in the land of paradise.
Here, there are so many delicious foods that are indescribable. If you take one bite, your whole mouth will be filled with delicious food. Even after eating, your mouth will be filled with sweetness for a long time, long enough to last until the next meal.
, and there is no trace of that bitterness.
So much so that many children swallowed their saliva.
It's not about swallowing before or while eating, but after eating.
It can be said that it is an aftertaste.
It's okay to say that the mouth instinctively secretes saliva due to the stimulation of the taste.
It should be said that these two factors are intertwined.
Here, there are colorful clothes.
Poor kid, only after he came here did he realize that clothes are not just shorts or T-shirts.
Some are worn on the head, some are wrapped around the neck, some are short-sleeved and long-sleeved, and what’s even more outrageous is that everyone can wear something on their feet!
They also knew that they were called shoes.
There were people coming and going on the streets of the town. One day at noon, a family of three passed by. Two adults were holding a little girl.
That little girl is so beautiful, even more beautiful than in her dreams!
Her skin is white, whiter than the white clouds in the sky;
Her hair was long, and then braided into small bunches, and each bunch was wrapped with ribbons of different colors. As she walked, her hair was swayed, and the ribbons followed.
Tossing and tossing together;
She was wearing a white shirt that looked very soft at first sight, and a red coat outside the shirt.
She was wearing black trousers that hung down to her ankles.
She wore a pair of shoes on her feet. The skin on her feet was also white, and the tops of her feet and toes were exposed. When she walked, her toes curled up.
She even wore unknown rings on both wrists. The rings were blue and purple. As she walked, her arms with the two rings were dangling beside her.
of.
…
First, a child standing by the door saw the little girl.
He stared blankly.
Then two, three, four...
Then dozens of children crowded near the door and windows, watching blankly.
The little girl was walking, smiling and talking to her parents with her head raised.
The laughter gradually faded away.
After a long time, after coming back to their senses, many children immediately lowered their heads and looked at themselves, and this look lasted for a long time.
…
They waited in the town for four or five days.
Four or five days later, many people from outside came to this town.
Regardless of whether these people are young or old, male or female, all of them look like important people.
More than a hundred children were lined up neatly in the large yard, and then passed in front of those people one by one.
The adult who brought them out spoke in front of those people.
On this night, the more than a hundred children on the island were separated for the first time.
In the yard, Xu Guangling and seven other children were holding hands.
"Walk!"
With a loud shout, all the children jumped into the air.
Some children screamed out in surprise, but the shock just started to arise instinctively, and they all suppressed it by force.
Afterwards, they didn't feel anything, but they heard the whistling sound of the wind in their ears. After an unknown amount of time, it was midnight anyway, and they landed in another empty courtyard. There were things hanging on the walls on both sides of the courtyard.
The yard was illuminated as brightly as daylight.
After a while, the eight children sat cross-legged on the ground one by one.
In front of them, the old man who flew them here spoke to them:
"Children, from today on, you are members of my Lingxiao Sect!"
"Do you want to learn to fly?"
"If you want to learn, then practice hard in the future."
…
After a dreamy and confusing night, starting from the next day, a new life, a life completely different from that on the island, and a life completely different from that in that town, unfolded in the lives of these children.
None of the children on the island can read.
So the beginning of what they call "cultivation" starts with literacy.
But it was not just these eight children who were learning literacy together. There were also many children from other places, totaling more than a hundred.
It was another old man they didn't know who told them.
"Today, let's learn two words first, 'immortality'."
The children were sitting cross-legged on the ground one by one, while the old man was holding something white and writing on the big black board.
"Come, read with me."
"Come, write with me."
Next to each child is a small stick and a wooden plate filled with fine sand.
After a while.
“Can everyone read and write?”
"No, raise your hands."
After a while, four children raised their hands timidly, and then a dozen more children raised their hands in unison.
"Come, let's learn it again."
After this time, the seven children sat down.
Again.
All the children knew how to do it and sat down.
The old man had a good temper and was smiling all the time.
"Does anyone among you know what these two words mean? If you do, stand up and say it!"
Suddenly three more people stood up.
"Tell me!" The old man pointed at one of the fat guys.
"Eternal life means being able to live for a long, long time, as long as two hundred or three hundred years!"
"Tell me!" The old man pointed at another child.
"Immortality means being able to live for a long time, and being able to live longer than ten thousand years!"
"You're talking nonsense!" The old man hadn't said anything yet, but the little fat man just stopped. "You're talking nonsense! How can a person live so long! No one can live that long!"
"cough."
The old man coughed slightly.
The little fat man shut up.
"Tell me what you say!" The old man pointed to the last child who stood up just now.
"Eternal life means immortality, and you will never die at any time."
That’s it for today’s lecture.
Very short.
These children were dismissed like this and then led by others.
First decide where to stay and then tell them where to eat.
Four people lived in one room, and the eight children who came from the island were completely separated.
The place where lectures are held at the front.
After more than a hundred children left, the four-year-old boy walked into the courtyard, and then all bowed to the old man and saluted, "Master!"
"Yes." The smile that had been on the old man's face faded at this time. He responded lightly, and then said: "Guangyuan, tell me, what is your understanding of 'immortality'?"
"Master, immortality is not eternal life, so immortality is not immortality at any time."
"Immortal people live longer than ordinary people. As for how much longer, whether they live two hundred, three hundred years, or one thousand or ten thousand years, it depends on the level of cultivation."
The young man named Guangyuan said this.
"Then if the level of cultivation is high enough, can you live ten million years or ten million years?" the old man asked.
