Chapter 33: Between Life and Death
"Senior brother is too humble. I see that my senior brother has a strong magic power, so he is in the New Moon Sect. I am afraid he is also an elite talent..." Li Ji flattered and patted him lightly.
Fa Yuan shook his head and said, "You are not a Taoist sect, and you don't know the key points... Among the monks, if you want to prolong your life, you have to build a foundation if you have to build a foundation... I am ordinary in my qualifications, and I have only entered the middle stage of the Consciousness Realm for seventeen years. I am afraid that there is no hope of building a foundation in this life. Don't talk about talent, but I am really mediocre..."
"The consecration period? This is..."
"Hey, it's okay to say it's your turn. There are many realms on the road of cultivation. Every time the realm is improved, your strength will be greatly improved... Like those Taoist children who have successfully entered the Taoist sect, the Xuanzhao period, and then they will consecrate, build foundations, fusion, heartbeat, golden elixir, Lingji, Yuanying, etc. The ancestors of this sect are the great Jindan monks, and the elders are also fusion, heartbeat, cultivation, strength, or even major sects near the Zhou Kingdom..."
Li Jiran, he didn't know what the strength of the Xinyue Sect was. Even if he was very strong, no one would come to provoke him? It seems that the person who came here would not be weaker, or even stronger. The relationship between the Cultivation Sect had nothing to do with him, and his current situation was probably not even cannon fodder.
"Actually, monks are not as glorious as you imagined, especially those who have never built foundations like me, who are not as good as high or low. Brother, you can't feel the energy into the Tao, and you can still do something by returning to the world with your own ability. There are always sixty or seventy years of life. A small cultivator like my senior brother, my life has not changed much, but I can't return to the world with freedom..."
"You can't enter the mortal world? Why is this?" This is the first time Li Ji heard of this statement.
"You don't know that once a mortal enters the Tao, spiritual energy enters the body, and after practicing the exercises, the physical fitness will naturally change. This process is irreversible. Either you keep practicing diligently in the blessed land. As long as you have no spiritual energy supply and no spiritual energy nourishment in the body, it will have a great negative impact on the cultivator's body, and even your life span is not as long as you mortals..." Fa Yuan looked helpless.
"I think some Taoists are not always in the Great City of the Moon? Why are they not afraid?" Li Ji talked about things like Chongfa, Fairy Yun, and Xiaoyue Temple.
"Of course it's different. First of all, they are all major cultivation practices above the foundation building, and their physical functions are stable. Secondly, they are all sent by the sect to the mortal world. Naturally, the sect provides spiritual stones and spiritual objects to maintain the daily practice needs... Like our minor cultivation practices, how can we have that kind of financial resources?"
Li Ji said so, "I said that I have been walking for nearly ten thousand miles, but the monks are rarely seen. It turns out that there are such restrictions, and they are hiding in the cave of blessed land. It seems that the idea of practicing Taoism and doing power and doing blessings is not feasible. Both of them are very depressed, and they eat more and more wine. In the end, Li Ji fell head-on and did not wake up from his work.
——————————————————————————————————————
"You little thief, you are lazy and greedy, so you can pick up water and push them all in every way. You deserve to feel unhurried and cannot practice the Tao..."
Amid the nagging of Tofu Village, Li Ji carried a pair of large buckets and walked out of the town behind Tofu Village. Does it take a lot of water to make tofu? There is no well in Gukou Town, so he uses water to get the water by himself. In the past, Wang Dazhuang, a coolie in the town, sent three waters to carry water every day. Yesterday, Wang Dazhuang had an emergency and had no choice but to drive the ducks to the shelves and force Li Ji to work hard.
There are some special points in the water collection area. Tofu Village is clean and picky. I think there are people washing clothes and rice in the waters near the Yudai River. Therefore, Wang Dazhuang used to go out far away to get water at a spring. Li Ji didn't know the road, so he could only lead the way for the first time.
"You woman, you are so troublesome, where can you pick up water? You have to go all the way. You are not the one who works hard, but I will only suffer..." Li Ji complained.
"The little thief is not old and has a very short mouth. Be careful of me tearing you up..." Tofuzhuang was very dissatisfied with Li Ji's attitude.
"You are allowed to say thief, mom, don't I be allowed to say yes?" Li Ji retorted.
"Little thief..."
"Crazy Woman..."
After walking straight out of the town for a moment, he came to the place where he fetched the water. "I didn't see the difference between this place and the Yudai River. I tell you that all flowing water and living water are usually clean, so there is no need to be such a trouble..." Li Ji was overwhelmed when he thought of going three times like this.
"Shut up, I don't know how live water is stagnant water. I only know that not only do people wash clothes and rice, but also wash toilets. You can eat the tofu made from such water, but I can't eat it..."
The spring was in a remote place with leeing back. The spring water constantly poured out formed a small moor and then flowed into the Yudai River. The water quality was clear and seemed to be full. Li Ji was not angry and his movements were particularly rude. The two buckets were stirred up in a mess. The tofu farm next to him was not very satisfied. "Fill it, little thief, you are extremely brave when you eat. Why is it your turn to work hard? It turned into a soft-footed shrimp..."
"Noisy, what do you know? No matter how full the bottom is, it will be only half a bucket when you sprinkle it all the way..."
"Will you not spill it? It's useless,... Wang Dazhuang is full of water when he fetches..." Tofu Zhuang curled his lips.
"He carries water every day, of course he won't sprinkle it. For the first time in my life, how can I walk steadily?" This woman was really angry. Li Ji was so angry that he saw a piece of bamboo tube exposed on the water pool. He was also owed his hand. He couldn't help but pull it, but he suddenly saw a few big bubbles appear under the bamboo tube, and then a person suddenly rushed out of the water...
Li Ji was startled and subconsciously drew his sword in his hand. Tofuzhuang was still yelling in his ear, "Little thief, what are you doing? Why are you pulling out a living person?" Li Ji stepped back and stared at the man and said, "Shut up, this man is hiding in the water, his origin is unknown... I don't know the magic of immortals, so how could he become a living person?"
This is a young man of medium size, with a black robe and a ruthless bun, with a vicious face and a fierce look. What is strange is that although he came out of the water, he had no water stains on his body.
"Ah, this person is a disciple of Pingdu..." Doufu Village quickly realized that she was an indigenous person in the blessed land. Her understanding of Taoist sect and the troubles of Xinyue Gate were much deeper than Li Ji.
"No, it's obvious that someone is going down the river to catch fish, and the crazy woman insists on talking nonsense... This brother, I just don't want to pull you with straw. I'm really sorry, is it okay?" He walked towards the stranger and tried his best to smile.
Since she came to this world, what Li Ji was most proud of was his calm judgment. It was obvious that what a strange monk could do would have to hide in the water? What Tofu Zhuang said was not false, because when the heavy sword Wufeng said the word Pingdu, she could clearly feel the murderous aura emitted by the Taoist priest, and then think of the recent troubles of the Xinyue Gate mentioned by Fayuan. Obviously, this Taoist who was unknown in Pingdu had the intention to kill people and silence. It was useless for mortals to run in front of the monks, and they could only go head-on. Li Ji had never responded to the person who wanted to kill him...
"Hehe, haha, what this little brother said is that he was just fishing, and he didn't expect... He is really destined to be with his little brother..." The Taoist in black robe smiled dryly and took the initiative to meet Li Ji.
He is a disciple of the Consecration Period of Pingdu Sect. He sneaked into the Fudi Land of the New Moon Gate. He had his own tasks. Because he was good at water-based martial arts, he hid under remote waters. There was no problem for a monk to stay under the water for a short time. However, he didn't know why these two people came here. In order to see the situation, he put a bamboo tube in his mouth. Unexpectedly, it was exposed. He had to silence these two people. It was easy to kill them. The problem was that he had not completed the sect mission. If he rashly used magic, the spirit of the mountain guard formation of the New Moon Gate would find it. It was hard to say whether he could escape. It was precisely because the two people on the opposite side, he could not use magic and only use ordinary means to solve it. Li Ji came over and was just his wish. How could he not see that Li Ji was not meant to be malicious? However, a mortal who felt that he had a defensive magic array and was not afraid of mortal weapons. If he killed a man, the woman would be simple.
