Chapter 8 The Indus Blossoms Bloom, Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix (Part 1)
"Xiaoxian, it's getting late, it's time to get up and have a meal."
Xu Huai made breakfast, wore a coarse cloth apron, walked to the room, and called the little girl to get up.
Last night, in a mysterious small valley, shortly after breaking through the innate realm, Xu Huai rushed back. Although Dabai was taking care of his family, he was still worried.
It was winter, and it was cold, and it was time to sleep well. The little girl was covered with a quilt and slept very soundly, so she didn't want to get up at all.
"Brother, it's so cold outside, Xiaoxian doesn't want to know. Can it be later! Just a moment!"
A head stretched out from the quilt, then stretched out two hands and lifted a corner. Xu Xiaoxian rubbed her eyes and said in a daze that she wanted to get up later.
"I want to stay in bed! Okay, then I went down the mountain alone, my brother. Today, the town seems to be in the market, so lively and fun, it would be a pity if Xiaoxian didn't go." Xu Huai said, bringing out his killer weapon.
"Ah, I'm going to the market today, no, brother, I'll get up, I'll get up."
When the little girl heard about going to the market, she immediately became interested and came out of the bed. She no longer had to dodge her clothes and got out of the bed.
Xiaoxian put on her clothes, brushed her teeth, and sat on the stool in front of the hall. Xu Huai had prepared hot water and placed it on the stone bench in the yard.
The little girl washed her face obediently, and he stood behind the girl, picked up a comb, and combed her hair for the little girl.
Since the family passed away one after another, Xu Huai, as a young man, became both a father and a mother, learned to comb his hair and take good care of the little girl.
But what’s so happy is that the little girl is smart and sensible, and she doesn’t make a fuss about asking her parents for anything. The brother and sister depend on each other and live a good life.
After packing up for the girl, Xu Huai brought out three bowls of noodles from the kitchen, which was the little girl's favorite egg noodles. One bowl was poured into the rice bowl of Dabai, and the other two bowls of Xiaoxian Xu Huai were one bowl of each person.
After Xu Huai finished eating, he sat on a stool waiting for the little girl and Dabai. After a while, he fell into deep thought.
By chance last night, in that narrow valley, he broke through the original acquired shackles, entered the state of innate immortality, and entered an unprecedented magnificent world.
After entering the innate realm, Xu Huai's entire body acupoints were connected, his essence and blood were full, and he gave birth to the heavenly eyes mentioned in Taoist scriptures, also called the mind eyes.
In his mind, he could sense the slightest movement and stillness of a hundred meters around him, and could sense that everything has life. The breathing of animals, plants and trees, and the rhythm of the ups and downs of the ground were like a universal radar, and wherever he passed, there was no way to hide.
He found that the air in the world began to emit colorful spiritual ions, but they were relatively sparse. This example could be integrated into his body and strengthen the true energy in his body.
According to Xu Huai's guess, this kind of ions that can emit colorful and spiritual radiant are the so-called spiritual energy.
The acquired entry into the innate world not only brings about the birth of the mind but also changes in the energy situation in the body.
Acquired, the essence flows in the body. As the saying goes, the essence and energy in the body are obtained by eating grains. After entering the innate world, the energy state of essence and energy cannot keep up with the consumption in the body, and it will naturally transform into a higher level of true energy.
However, the biggest difference between acquired and innate is that the innate realm can use true Taoism.
No matter how you polish or explore the day after tomorrow, you can only achieve great success. Using some skills in fists or some inexperienced magic can be useless and difficult to reach the level of elegance.
In the innate realm, the soul begins to blend without the heaven and earth, and has begun to establish a connection with the heaven and earth. It is precisely because of this that the innate and the acquired will have a difference between the clouds and mud.
"Brother, I've finished eating, let's go down the mountain quickly."
The little girl suddenly said, interrupting Xu Huai's contemplation.
"Then let's go."
Xu Huai sorted out the thoughts in his mind, then packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and took the little girl and Dabai out.
Along the way, the little girl jumped and was very happy.
When the villagers in the village saw each other, they were busy saying hello to the two brothers and sisters or giving some candy to eat. Obviously, in the hearts of the villagers, both brothers and sisters were very good.
There is still one month before the New Year, and the village has begun to be filled with the New Year atmosphere, and every household is preparing for the New Year in a month.
Some people are lanterns in their yards, and bamboo cut from the mountain is cured step by step, and then the lamp oil that has been boiled is put in.
Some families are planning to kill New Year pigs and ask three or five neighbors to come and help. A group of people are carrying a pig in the pig house, which one is the largest and the fattest!
Among them, the most lively one is the kids’ favorite stewed sugar, which is malt sugar.
Now there are many kinds of candies in the city, and this kind of thing is rare in the countryside. However, in this mountain village, you can’t miss the New Year’s candy every year.
Wash the wheat grains and glutinous rice early, put them in a clay tank and soak them in water, let them stand for eight to ten days, take them out and cut them into pieces.
Wait until the day of boiling, remove the soaked glutinous rice, drain the water, add water to the chopped wheat grains and place them in a clay pot for fermentation.
Finally, after continuous high heat and low heat, the maltose is freshly baked.
The village is at the foot of the mountain range, but not at the bottom. If you want to reach the town, the brother and sister have to cross a mountain and walk a long mountain road.
After passing through the village, the original bustle disappeared, and only Xu Huai and Xiao Yatou were left on the rugged and difficult mountain road.
No, to be precise, there should be a dog.
"Brother, I'm so tired, how far is it?" Not long after the village, the little girl started to scream, crying about being tired. Shui Lingling's big eyes kept turning, staring at Dabai who was leading the way.
"I know what you want to do, you girl."
When Xu Huai saw the little girl's appearance, he knew what the hell was thinking.
Every time I go to the town, the little girl would complain about being tired halfway through the way, but in fact it wasn't that the little girl was tired, she was in good health, but she just wanted to ride Dabai.
Usually at home, it is not impossible for the little girl to ride Dabai, but Dabai is too tall and the little girl can't get up at all, let alone riding Dabai.
Xu Huai, like Dabai as his relatives, he would not agree to the request of the little girl Dabai as his relatives.
"Dabai, come here." Xu Huai shouted, and Dabai in front suddenly turned his head and walked over.
"You're satisfied now."
Xu Huai said, then picked up the little girl riding and asked her to ride on Dabai's body.
