It is said that he resigned as the sect leader and concentrated on his cultivation, but for the time being, Nan Pingxiu does not seem to be concentrating on his cultivation.
After that day, she seemed to live the life of a secular woman, not to mention practicing attentively, not even practicing without concentration.
At night, instead of meditating or meditating, she slept beautifully, and her sleeping posture was quite inelegant, with her arms and legs spread out. When she woke up in the morning, she would not get up immediately, but would stay in bed and take a nap.
So when she got up, the sun had already risen high.
She also needs to freshen up and dress up.
It is not a matter of applying makeup and powder, but a simple red dot between the eyebrows, a beautiful hairpin gently holding a black hair, and then a slight smile, which vividly explains what it means to be a goddess in the world.
During the day, she also did not practice and had nothing else to do.
The Nanping Show is just like an ordinary tourist, walking and browsing among the waterfalls and streams in the territory of Lanshui Sect.
But many times, she still holds a little tail in her hand.
Xiao Xiuer was by her side most of the day.
In fact, it was like this before.
It's just that Xiao Xiuer neither talks nor plays most of the time. She always appears quiet and is easily ignored.
Nan Pingxiu was quite surprised that Xiao Xiu'er was brought back by her without crying or fussing that day and seemed to have no attachment at all. In fact, Xiao Xiu'er didn't even have the slightest doubt about the change in her appearance. The first thing she saw when she saw her was
When she saw her, she called her aunt and rushed over.
"Xiu'er, can you still recognize me?"
On the way back, Nan Pingxiu's first question was this: Xiao Xiu'er.
"Of course! Auntie has become more beautiful!"
Xiao Xiuer said innocently.
This is not a question of good-looking or not, but given that Xiao Xiuer's situation is quite special and she is only a few years old, Nanpingxiu did not discuss this issue further, but asked another question: "Xiuer,
Why did you come back as soon as I took you with you? Don’t you want to play there?"
"Brother will come to me!"
Xiao Xiu'er said with a smile, her eyebrows turned into flowers.
Xiu'er, why are you so close to that little boy?
This is the question Nan Pingxiu wanted to ask, but he hesitated several times and finally failed to ask the question.
The problem of little Xiuer's closed consciousness is very serious. No matter what the reason is for her to show closeness to the little boy, it is a good thing! And the reason is really not important at all!
But several days passed, and Xiao Xiuer didn't show any crying, so Nanping Xiu became a little strange again.
"Xiu'er, don't you want to go play with your brother?"
Nan Pingxiu found Xiao Xiu'er who was sitting by the railing of the pavilion and stared blankly outside for a long time without moving, and then asked like this.
Hearing her question, Xiao Xiuer's eyes blinked, and her whole body instantly changed from clay sculpture to life, "Brother is looking for me. We play together every day!"
This problem is serious!
In the past, Xiao Xiuer only showed extreme isolation and autism, but now, could she even have thoughts? And the situation seems to be very serious.
Nan Pingxiu's heart sank, but she asked with a calm smile on her face: "But why didn't aunt see your brother coming?"
"Brother came to me in a dream!" Xiao Xiuer smiled happily.
Nan Pingxiu didn't ask again.
But on this day, Shi Shao suddenly came over to send a message that Xu Tonghui was visiting.
Nan Pingxiu said that she did not practice spiritual practice, but in fact, she was "relaxing her mind." To put it simply, it can be said to be completely letting go of her mind, not thinking about the past, the future, or the present, leaving her consciousness in a blank state.
If you see white clouds, you will see white clouds in your consciousness; if you observe flowing water, you will see flowing water in your mind.
Is this practice?
no.
But actually it is.
This is actually a method that Master once taught her, called "The Great Freedom of Watching Flowing Water and White Clouds".
This method actually has no direct benefit to spiritual practice.
But it has incredible benefits in regulating the body and mind.
The experience of that day was actually a blur for Nan Pingxiu.
After returning to the sect, she sat in front of the mirror for a whole night, but she still hadn't come back to her senses.
It’s impossible to come back to your senses!
To be honest, no woman in the world would care about the change in appearance, but Nan Pingxiu is not a secular woman after all. What makes her so confused is the level of spiritual practice behind the change in appearance.
change.
The inheritance from the sect only reaches the earth-level Qi-entraining realm.
Master has special circumstances and has another inheritance besides the sect's inheritance, but that inheritance only partially extends to the form refining realm.
In essence, it is still a state of entraining qi.
But no matter what, compared to the average Qi-entraining realm monks, Nan Pingxiu's understanding of the Form-Refining realm above Entraining Qi is much better.
In that hall at that time, Nan Pingxiu had not yet reacted.
After I came back, I thought about it. The changes in the ten children were clearly the result of refining their bodies. And they were the complete refining of their bodies!
Then, herself.
She herself is also a master of refining!
This goal that Master had been chasing all his life but could not reach was just passed by her out of thin air.
Or in other words, being pushed by others.
Is this still possible?
Nan Pingxiu could only resort to the "Great Freedom of Watching Flowing Water and White Clouds" method to calm down his scattered mind. However, after several days, although the effect was slight, it was minimal.
In this case, Xu Tonghui came to visit.
If it were anyone else, other than Xu Yishan and Xu Tonghui, Nan Pingxiu would definitely be missing.
But at this time, Nan Pingxiu thought for a moment, and also thought of Xu Tonghui's nephew, Xiao Xiu'er's "brother", so he arranged a meeting.
There weren't many outsiders present.
On the Lanshui Sect side are Nan Pingxiu, Xiao Xiuer and the new sect leader Shi Shao.
Xu Tonghui is the only one here.
Xu Tonghui sat a little cramped and unnatural.
To be honest, he couldn't resist the charm of Xiu from Nanping, so he didn't want to say anything. He almost said his intention directly after sitting down: "Master Nanping, I want to give this to Xiu in my personal capacity."
Miss."
As he spoke, he carefully took out a small wooden box from the large portable box he brought with him, and then gently pushed it to Nan Pingxiu on the table in front of him.
This small wooden box is very familiar to Nan Pingxiu and Shi Shao!
"Xiao Ning Qi Powder?" Shi Shao's voice couldn't keep calm.
It's not that she hasn't seen the world before, it's that her impression of this thing is really too deep!
"Almost." Xu Tonghui said with a smile, then stood up and bowed slightly to the two of them, "Master Nanping, Master Shi, I will take my leave now."
This gift is too valuable to accept.
At least it can't be accepted so simply.
Under normal circumstances, this would be the reaction of Nan Pingxiu and Shi Shao, but the current situation is obviously very abnormal.
First, Nan Pingxiu was uneasy; second, Shi Shao was uneasy; third, this gift was given to Xiao Xiu'er. In view of Xiao Xiu'er's special situation, did Xu Tonghui have any special meaning in gifting this potion?
Due to multiple factors, the two of them let Xu Tonghui go.
Well, Shi Shao gave it to him.
When Shi Shao came back, he found Nan Pingxiu staring blankly at the potion in front of him.
"Sister Xiu!"
Shi Shao came closer, and then, she also started to stare blankly.
The wooden box has been opened, and the medicine in the wooden box is obviously different from what they saw that day!
Not only is it much smaller, it’s also...
Indescribable.
It should be a transparent potion, and it's not even big enough for a little finger, so when I look at it, I can't see the bottom of it.
It seems that there is a boundless sea hidden there, as well as a boundless starry sky.
When I looked over, what I saw was not the potion no bigger than a little finger at all, but the vast ocean and starry sky.
How to see through and see through!
And as long as you stare at it, your mind will easily be drawn into the endless illusion of the sea and the starry sky.
They didn't know how long they watched, until a cloud drifted across the horizon, briefly blocking the light of the sun, causing the endless illusion to suddenly undergo a big change, and then the two people's eyes and minds were freed from it.
"Sister Xiu, is this... Ning Qi Powder?"
Both of them had read the storybook of The Road to Qingyun, and Shi Shao asked with unspeakable throbbing in her heart.
Before, she asked if it was Xiao Ning Qi Powder.
Xu Tonghui’s answer was, “Absolutely”?
yes.
It's almost the same indeed.
It's just a "small" difference.
Shi Shao looked at the potion, and her eyes couldn't help but drift to Xiao Xiu'er in the corner.
Xiao Xiu'er had behaved blankly towards Xu Tonghui before, no different from when she faced other people.
Nan Pingxiu also came to her senses at this time, and then waved, "Xiu'er, come here."
Little Xiuer instantly changed from dull to agile, and rushed over like a normal little girl, "Auntie!"
She jumped directly into Nan Pingxiu's arms.
She had never done this kind of action before. Although she was in a daze, Nan Pingxiu was still confused about Xiao Xiu'er's situation. Why did Xiao Xiu'er keep showing that she was much happier than before after she came back?
?
Are you so happy because you recognized a brother?
"Xiu'er, come on, open your mouth." Nan Pingxiu said, suppressing the doubts in her heart.
Xiao Xiuer opened her mouth obediently, and the next moment, Nan Pingxiu poured the medicine in the wooden box into her mouth.
"Auntie, what?"
"Something from your brother's uncle."
"oh."
Xiao Xiuer did not show any more concern or curiosity about "brother's uncle".
The next moment, she hugged Nan Pingxiu and said, "Auntie, I'm so sleepy. I'm going to find my brother!"
After she finished saying this vaguely, the sound of her sleeping sound started immediately, and it was obvious that she was already sleeping soundly.
Nan Pingxiu didn't move, and Shi Shao didn't move either. They both looked at Xiao Xiu'er quietly.
But a long time passed, and Xiao Xiuer just fell into a deep sleep without any changes on her body.
