Chapter Twelve Autumn

White clouds view the back mountain.

Li Yunsheng was looking at the broken wooden barrel in the kitchen with some worries.

"Fortunately, the water from the old locust tree has been poured out, and there is still some water for cooking in the water tank. I will ask my senior brother how many nails I want to make up for it tomorrow."

He scooped a scoop of water kettles on the stove, then picked up the broken wooden barrel from the kitchen and placed it at the foot of the old locust tree. He was a little tired today and too lazy to pick it up and pour it down, so he put it there to let the water in the barrel flow slowly.

The water in the wooden barrel slowly poured out from the small hole, and then penetrated into the soil at the foot of the old locust tree layer by layer, and finally was feasted by countless tiny roots of the old locust tree.

After a while, Li Yunsheng was still busy. The water on the stove was boiling, and the old locust tree also had a few more buds...

In the blink of an eye, it is the cold dew season. The cicadas and frogs that roared in the past have become much fainter. In the vast sky, the bright red sunset glows began to fly from the north. The mountains within ten miles of the white clouds were dyed red by the red leaves in the mountains. Only the old locust tree in the back mountain still has green leaves and white flowers. To be different, it should be the old locust tree bamboo fence, where chrysanthemums of different colors began to bloom.

"I don't know who planted it..."

The window of the wooden house just filled the scenery at the foot of the mountain in front of the house. Li Yunsheng was holding a cup of tea and sitting upright at the small wooden table beside the bed. The tea was given by the eldest brother, and the new tea picked before the Qingming Festival rain. The eldest brother was very good at stir-frying. Even if Li Yunsheng was a little stingy, he only put a few sticks, the tea fragrance immediately overflowed, the clear water turned into green soup, and the spring in the cup was full of spring.

In the season when autumn is full of ink, you can still taste the taste of spring. Li Yunsheng is very satisfied with this kind of life, even if there are still sweat beads of just finished work left on his head.

During these days, in addition to digesting the hundreds of books "stole" from the Yellow Crane Tower, Li Yunsheng also learned a lot in the temple. He went down the mountain at dawn every day to follow the third senior brothers back and forth in the fields. After a while, he also recorded a lot of things about planting in the fairy fields. A few days ago, his master Yang Wanli had another meal with his fellow brothers. After the meal, Yang Wanli suddenly announced that he would hand over the three acres of fairy fields at the foot of the back mountain to Li Yunsheng, and he could turn the ground and fertilize it after the frost descended.

From the beginning of Baiyun Temple, Li Yunsheng was very fulfilled every day, carrying water, reading books, going to the fields, boiling water, cooking, bathing, washing clothes, and practicing. He was so busy that he had no time to spare, because this second senior brother Li Lan often called him stupid.

This is how he scolded Li Yunsheng—

"Since that locust tree has been in a meeting, why do you need to continue to water it every day? It's okay to water it. Who can tell how many loads of water a day? Why do you have to water those twenty loads every day? This old locust tree has flowers in full bloom every day, and Old Man Yang won't give you a few more bottles of vain to brew it!

The same is true for practicing. Since you already know that no matter how much you practice the rootless immortal vein, you cannot complete the stage of rebirth. It means that you have no fate with Tao. No matter how hard you work, you will be useless. You are not a fool. Why can’t you figure it out in this matter?”

"I really 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 because he found that it was not a question that he couldn't figure it out at all.

Take watering the old locust tree as an example. Li Yunsheng felt that it was pleasing to the eye with an extra flower-filled spiritual tree at the door, and for him, he was just a little more miserable every day.

Cultivation is even easier. The second senior brother said that he did useless work every day, but he didn't think so. Just like he and his father visited Lingshan and rivers all day for ten years to find immortals, many things are illusory before they succeed. Whether they succeed or not is the same thing, they still have to do it.

More importantly, asking the Tao that immortality is a thing that goes against the will of heaven. The way of heaven does not allow you to do too many things. If everything is not done because it is impossible, will there be cultivators in this world?

"I'm just using my time to do things I want to do and can do. It's not that I'm too lucky to be hard, but that you are too lazy, senior brother."

Once, Li Lan talked to Li Yunsheng again. Li Yunsheng, who was watering at the time, was a little annoyed and replied to him. As a result, Li Lan was so angry that she had not come to the back mountain for more than half a month. Afterwards, Li Yunsheng felt that his words were inappropriate, so he found Li Lan and wanted to apologize, but was bombarded back by him sarcastically.

"The new tea will fade once it is brewed."

After replacing two bowls of water, Li Yunsheng looked at the tea stems in the bowl with a pity.

So Li Yunsheng went out to pour out the tea leaves in the bowl and prepared to take the broken wooden barrel home.

"It's not over yet for so long."

He was surprised to find that there was a little water left in the bucket.

As if he had discovered something amazing, Li Yunsheng squatted down and quietly watched the remaining water flowing out of the hole bit by bit.

It was not until the bucket of water flowed that Li Yunsheng stood up and murmured to himself: "Although this bucket is broken, the hole is not big, so the water flows so fast. If I keep pouring water inside, will the water inside never flow dry?"

While thinking about this question, he took the bucket home.

After eating the remaining dry steamed buns at noon early, Li Yunsheng covered a bundle of dried thatch cut from the mountains in front of the house on the roof. Winter is about to begin. The current small wooden house with air leakage everywhere cannot withstand the cold wind of winter.

After a while of busyness, Li Yunsheng took a shower and started to take notes while staring blankly.

The pen is not stopped until midnight and the lights are turned off.

Although he turned off the light, he did not lie on the bed and sleep immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed, breathing and breathing in a strange rhythm.

Every night, this time is Li Yunsheng’s fixed meditation and practice time.

About half an hour later, Li Yunsheng began to feel a warm current flowing out of his five internal organs.

Because his mind is clear and clear, although he does not have the legendary method of looking inside the real person, he can still feel the position of these five warm currents. What he next has to do is to return these five warm currents to his dantian and build a dan fetus.

This is the only way for every practitioner who seeks the Tao. If you cannot pass the period of rebirth and cannot build a elixir, you will not be able to become a true practitioner.

Until the step of bringing the five energys into the Danxin, Li Yunsheng did it perfectly, so perfect that it would make the cultivators of the same level in the Immortal Palace ashamed.

This step of bringing the five elements of energy into the Danxin is like walking on the edge of a cliff that can only accommodate one foot. You must be very careful to prevent them from falling off the "cliff". As long as you have a little bit of a mistake, you have to start over and gather the five energys and walk again.

The progress of ordinary monks' cultivation is the speed of returning to the original state of the five energys. The faster you make, the faster you will practice. If you use the analogy of injecting water into the water tank, an ordinary monk can inject a tank of water in one night, while a genius of cultivation can inject ten tanks in one night, and Li Yunsheng's speed is ten times faster than these geniuses.

But Li Yun is fast, but it is a rootless immortal vein. Li Lan said that this rootless immortal vein is a broken water tank. You can come and go quickly. No matter how talented you are, your water tank cannot hold water!

Failed again.

Li Yunsheng felt that after the five qi in his body entered the Dantian, he was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he didn't even see a trace of water.

This is why most sects of cultivation do not accept disciples without roots.

I don’t know how many times it was. The five qi that Li Yunsheng had finally gathered in qi turned into nothing, but there was no special expression on his face, as if this was an ordinary thing.

He opened his eyes and wiped the sweat from his face with the towel beside him, then got up and pushed open the window beside the bed. A cool and breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers rushed in. The old locust tree outside the house emitted a light pink light under the moonlight, which was particularly eye-catching.

"By the way, since my immortal vein cannot hold water like a broken wooden barrel, as long as I pour enough water in, I can guarantee that the bucket of water is full!"

Li Yunsheng originally wanted to open the window and breathe, but inadvertently remembered the broken bucket today.

"But where do I get so much water?"

After thinking about it, he began to scratch his head again. According to normal breathing, the amount of the spiritual energy he absorbed in heaven and earth condensed into five qi was obviously unable to keep up with the speed of loss, otherwise his elixir would have been formed long ago.

"White Brewing!"

He remembered the bottle of Bai Jianji that Yang Wanli gave him. This Bai Jianji was brewed by immortal grain. The immortal grain was originally claimed to have no need to be refined. Can't drinking it condense a large amount of five elements vital energy?

With a hint of excitement, Li Yunsheng sat cross-legged back to the bed without hesitation, then took a breath and poured a whole bottle of white brew into his stomach.
