Chapter 012 The Thickness of Autumn
The mountain behind the White Cloud Temple.
Li Yunsheng was looking at the kitchen's wooden bucket with a broken mouth with some hurt.
"Luckily the water for the old acacia tree is finished, there's still some water in the water tank for cooking, so tomorrow I'll go back and ask Eldest Brother for a few nails to patch it up."
He scooped a ladle to fill the kettle on the stove, then carried this broken wooden barrel out of the kitchen and placed it at the foot of the old acacia tree, he was a little tired today and was too lazy to pick it up and pour it out, so he just left it there and let the water in the barrel slowly flow.
The water in the barrel slowly gushed out from the not so big hole, and then layer by layer seeped into the soil at the foot of the old acacia tree, and finally by the old acacia tree countless tiny roots and whiskers to feast on.
Not a little while, Li Yunsheng is still busy, the water on the stove opened, the old acacia tree also produced a few more buds ......
Time in the blink of an eye to the cold dew season, in the past days the noisy cicadas singing frogs fade a lot, the vast sky red evening sun in flocks of geese began to fly from the north, the white cloud view of the ten-mile radius of the mountains were the mountains of red leaves dyed crimson, only the back of the mountain this old acacia tree is still long green leaves, blooming white flowers to say that the different places, should be the old acacia tree inside the bamboo fence, a strain of chrysanthemums of different colors began to bloom.
"I don't know who planted them ......"
The windows of the hut were just enough to take in the view of the mountains in front of the hut, Li Yunsheng was holding a cup of tea, sitting beside the small wooden table next to the bed. Tea is the big brother to give, Qingming rain before picking new tea, big brother and extremely good fried, even if Li Yunsheng some stingy only put a few sticks, but also immediately tea overflowing, water into green soup, the cup of spring is full of flavor.
In the season full of autumn is as thick as ink can still taste the taste of spring, Li Yunsheng is very satisfied with this life, even if the head is still residual beads of sweat just finished work.
These days, in addition to digesting the hundreds of books "stolen" from the Yellow Crane House, Li Yunsheng in the view also learned a lot of things, he was down every day at daybreak to follow the third brother of the various fields back and forth, a period of time down, about the immortal field planting things also memorized a lot of things, a few days ago, master Yang Wanli and a few of their brothers ate a meal, at the end of the meal, Yang Wanli and his brother had the opportunity to learn about the immortal field planting things. A few days ago, master Yang Wanli had a meal with a few of their brothers, and at the end of the meal, Yang Wanli suddenly announced that the three acres of immortal fields at the foot of the back of the mountain would be handed over to Li Yunsheng, and that the land could be turned over and fertilized for planting after the frost.
From the beginning of arriving at Baiyun Guan, Li Yunsheng's every day is very fulfilling, picking water, reading books, going down to the field, boiling water, cooking, bathing, washing clothes, cultivating, day after day is so busy that there is not a moment of spare time, because this second senior brother Li Ran scolds him for being stupid from time to time.
This is how he scolded Li Yunsheng-
"Since that acacia tree has already blossomed why do you need to continue watering it every day? Even if you water it, who can tell if you water a few quarts a day, why do you need to water the full twenty quarts every day? This old acacia tree blooms every day, old man Yang will not give you more than a few bottles of white brew!
Cultivation is also, since you already know, you this rootless immortal vein again how to cultivate can not complete the stage of rebirth, can not complete the stage of rebirth, it also means that you and the road is not destined, even if you try again also, do but also useless, you are not stupid people, why on this matter can not figure it out?"
"Is it really because I can't figure it out myself?"
Li Yunsheng didn't spend too much time thinking about this question, not because he couldn't answer it, but he realized that it wasn't a matter of being able to think straight or not.
Take the matter of watering the old acacia tree for example, Li Yunsheng felt that having an extra flowering spirit tree at his doorstep was a pleasing thing to the eye, and for him it was just a matter of working harder every day.
Cultivation of this matter is even simpler, the second elder brother said that he does useless work every day, but he does not think so, as he and his father for ten years as one day to visit the spiritual mountains and rivers in search of immortals, many things are vague until success, success or failure is one thing, to do or to do.
What's more, asking for immortality is originally a thing that goes against heaven, there are too many things that heaven does not allow you to do, if everything is not done because it is not possible, is there still a cultivator in this world?
"I'm just using my time to do what I want to do and can do, it's not that I'm working too hard, it's that you're too lazy, senior brother."
Once Li Ran is again with Li Yunsheng a burst of chanting, at that time is watering Li Yunsheng some annoyed so back to him, the result of angry Li Ran more than half a month did not come to the back of the mountain, after the fact, Li Yunsheng feel their words inappropriate to find Li Ran want to apologize but was his gloomy bombardment of the back.
"The new tea will be bland after one brew."
After refilling two bowls of water, Li Yunsheng looked at the tea stalks in the bowl with some regret.
So Li Yunsheng went out the door to dump the tea in the bowl, and then prepared to take the broken wooden barrel home by hand.
"I can't believe it hasn't run out after so long."
He was surprised to find that there was actually a little bit of water left in the bucket.
As if he had discovered something extraordinary, Li Yunsheng squatted down and quietly watched that remaining water, little by little, flow out of the broken hole.
Until this bucket of water flowed out, Li Yunsheng stood up and muttered, "Although this bucket is broken, but because the hole is not big, so the water flow is not so fast, if I keep pouring water inside, is it possible that the water inside will never run dry?"
He thought about this question on the one hand and took the bucket home on the other.
Time is still early to eat two noon left dry steamed buns, Li Yunsheng and the house in front of a bundle of dry thatched grass cut from the mountains to cover the roof, will soon be winter, the current leaky hut is not able to withstand the cold winter winds.
Busy for a while, Li Yunsheng took a bath and began a side of dull "reading" side of the notes.
Until the time of the day to stop writing and turn out the light.
Although he turned out the lights, but did not immediately lie down on the bed to sleep, but on the bed to meditate on his knees, mouth with a strange rhythm of breathing and exhaling.
This time every night at midnight was Li Yunsheng's regular meditation and cultivation time.
After about half an hour, Li Yunsheng began to feel the tiniest of warm currents running out of his five viscera.
Because he was clear in his mind, although he did not have the legendary real person's internal vision method, he could still feel the location of these five warm currents, what he had to do next was to return these five warm currents to the dantian out, to build a dan tire.
This was a necessary path for every Dao seeking cultivator, unable to cross the stage of shedding and building a Dan tire, it was impossible to become a true cultivator.
All the way up to the step of returning the five qi to the dan heart, Li Yunsheng had done it perfectly, perfect enough to make those same level cultivators in the Immortal Mansion who had been made the proud sons of heaven sweat.
This step of putting the five elements into the heart of the dan is like walking on the edge of a cliff that can only accommodate one foot, you have to be very careful in order for them not to fall off the "cliff", as long as the difference is a little bit, you will have to start from the beginning, regrouping the five qi to go through the process again.
Ordinary cultivators cultivation progress, is the speed of the five qi return to Yuan, the faster you do not have mistakes, the faster you cultivate, if you fill the water tank as an analogy, ordinary cultivators can inject a tank of water a night, the cultivation of geniuses can be injected into the ten tanks a night, and Li Yunsheng's speed compared to these geniuses is ten times faster.
But Li Yunsheng fast is fast, but it is a rootless immortal vein, Li Ran said, this rootless immortal vein is a broken water tank, you come fast and go fast, even if you are talented again, but you can't hold water in the water tank ah!
Failed again.
Li Yunsheng felt that the five qi in his body entered the dantian, just like a stone sinking into the sea, not even a splash of water to see.
This was the reason why most cultivation sects did not accept rootless Immortal Vein disciples.
It was already unknown how many times, Li Yunsheng's five qi that he had managed to gather with great difficulty melted into nothing, but there was no special expression on his face, as if this was something that was no more unusual.
He opened his eyes and took the towel next to him and wiped the sweat from his face, then got up and pushed open the window next to his bed, a gust of cool breeze mixed with the scent of flowers rushed in, and the old acacia tree outside the house emitted a light pink glow under the moonlight that was exceptionally eye-catching.
"That's right, since my immortal vein can't hold water just like that broken wooden bucket, but as long as I pour in enough water, I can already ensure that the bucket is full!"
Li Yunsheng originally just wanted to open the window to get some air, but he inadvertently remembered that broken bucket today.
"But where will I get that much water?"
After thinking about it he started scratching his head again, according to normal exhaling, the amount of heaven and earth spirit qi he absorbed to condense the five qi obviously couldn't keep up with the rate of loss, or else his dan fetus would have been formed long ago.
"White brewing!"
He recalled the bottle of White Brew that Yang Wanli had given him, this White Brew was brewed from Immortal Grain, and Immortal Grain was originally claimed to be Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that did not need to be refined, wouldn't drinking it allow him to condense a large amount of Five Elements Yuan Qi?
With a hint of excitement, Li Yunsheng almost didn't hesitate to sit back on his bed with his knees crossed, then inhaled a breath and poured a whole bottle of White Brew into his stomach.
