Chapter 19 Attunement
In the middle of the night, there was silence in the mountains, and Li Yi fell asleep early, exhaling a gentle breath.
Since waking up, except for the first month, he still has the habit of practicing meditation, which is replaced by eating and sleeping. This is not a rigid need for him, but it can make him live more comfortably.
He enjoys the joy brought by his taste buds, and he enjoys the tranquility brought by sleep.
Some people regard "not eating five grains, but drinking dew" as a symbol of immortals, while some people regard it as a difference between immortals and monks.
But Li Yi doesn't think so. Everything has its own cause, but it cannot be attributed to the effect. Not eating five grains, inhaling wind and drinking dew is just for beginners to smooth out the essence and cleanse the marrow, so as to better condense the innocent body, but it is useless after the alchemy is formed. Bigu is for the smoothness of the road to immortality, not for bigu to become immortal.
An upright husband follows the law of nature, should eat, drink, and have sex.
Practice is for self-denial, not ruthlessness.
However, many people do not agree with this statement, for which he also had a falling out with a friend.
buzz buzz...
Suddenly, there was a vibration in the air that ordinary people could not hear, and wisps of ripple-like spirits flew from the sky.
For Li Yi, it was like a mosquito in his ear, waking him up from his sleep. He subconsciously picked up the slipper on the ground and threw it out the window, accurately hitting the **** outside.
The next second he realized that he was wrong about the chicken.
The feeling of being woken up in the middle of the night made Li Yi very irritable. He stroked his messy hair, got up halfway, took out his phone and looked at it, it was 3 in the morning.
"Where did the belief come from? I don't have a temple in modern times."
The distance is too far away, and his strength is less than one ten-thousandth of the peak. Even the induction between heaven and man cannot accurately distinguish where it came from.
Li Yi is no stranger to belief. For a long time, he has received more incense than Buddha statues in the temple. At his peak, he even imitated the golden body of Xiangmen, creating a golden body of merit.
Protected by the incense of all peoples, all laws are inviolable and indestructible. Just this golden body can compete with the power of the **** transformation stage, establish a sect and establish a sect, and shock one side. But to Li Yi, it's a golden tortoise shell, and it's something more meaningful than practical.
At the same time, incense is a thing of great cause and effect, receiving the benefits of all peoples, accepting the grace of all peoples, and establishing peace for all generations. There is no idle **** in the world who only eats tributes and does not work. Once a catastrophe cannot be solved by clay sculptures in the temple, incense will solve you.
It's like praying for rain from the Dragon King in ancient times, and one of them is called Wuqi. Different from praying and wishing for rain, if the dragon king really does not rain, the people will carry the statue of the dragon king to the scorching sun until it rains.
In the early years, there was a severe drought in Chu. At that time, science and technology were not as developed as they are now, but there were already cannons. Some officials fired cannons at the sky and even cut off the head of the Dragon King statue after asking for rain.
Li Yi belongs to the category of people who work first and then get incense. The cause and effect are not important, but the various prayers mixed with beliefs are too noisy. So he threw the meritorious golden body into the Tao River, the first river in the world and the source of ten thousand rivers, to suppress floods.
It is taken from the people and used for the people.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yi couldn't figure out where the belief came from, and didn't bother to pursue it.
The current problem is how to solve these beliefs. Although the spirit contained in them is too noisy, it is also a good thing in the current environment.
Looking around, the things in the room are very miscellaneous, all kinds of boxes that don’t know what they contain, the graduation photos of elementary and junior high schools, a few small wooden stools, the posters of the once popular band, an old floor fan...
Faith needs to be supported by an entity, which can be a person, but it is better to be a thing. If people absorb beliefs rashly, the spirit contained in them will pollute the soul, and eventually lose their true self and become the gods imagined by all peoples. And a dead object has no self, so naturally it will not be affected by beliefs, even if it has a little more charm, it is just an object.
The ideal carrier is a statue of a god, which can better awe people and generate more faith.
"Just you."
Li Yi picked up the wooden sword beside the bed, held the sword in his right hand, and flexed his left hand a little. Suddenly, there was a faint light on the yellow-brown wooden hilt, and two neat and round characters appeared on the wooden deformation.
Non-aggression.
"Ha~" Li Yi yawned, threw the wooden sword on the ground, and fell asleep again.
When he woke up again, it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning, and he was sweating from the sun.
At this time, Li's father went out early to help the uncle's house. I heard that he was a small supervisor in the battlefield, with a monthly salary of 4,000. The uncle who has been prosperous for so long finally knows how to help his brother.
Although the money is not much, it is easy to win. This is very important for Li Xingguo who is sick. It also reduced the difficulty of Li Yi's treatment of his father's body. Using spiritual energy to nourish him for a year or so should be able to remove most of the hidden injuries.
Pneumoconiosis is a bit troublesome. I'm afraid I need some treasures from heaven and earth, or I will have enough aura in the future.
There was the clicking sound of the sewing machine next door, obviously it was my mother working.
After Li Yi finished eating the noodles that had cooled off early on the table, he pulled the bamboo chair and ran to the shade of the trees in the yard.
Another day when nothing happened.
I don’t know how long it took, a basket carried by my mother came out of the kitchen, handed the basket to him and said:
"Yi'er, go to the second uncle's place to deliver some food. Two days ago, your second uncle sprained his ankle while herding cattle, and he couldn't walk."
Second Uncle, the younger brother of Grandpa Li Yi, the oldest bachelor in the village without a wife and no children. In his impression, he was a big man with a stubble face. His family raised a herd of buffaloes, and he was the main force of plowing in the village when there were no farming machines.
"Okay..." Li Yi responded weakly, and reluctantly walked out of his house with a basket in hand.
Follow the road in memory, walk a hundred and eighty steps along a mountain road, there is a step made of bluestones that can only accommodate one person, and there is a small stream continuing up, the stream has no childhood shrimps and fishes .
Cross the creek and walk another 500 steps along the path, and the sight suddenly opens up. The golden terraced fields run step by step along the hillside, and a few buffaloes walk along the ridge in the distance.
Meeting on a narrow road, the old buffalo raised his head and glanced at Li Yi, with light shining in his black pupils.
moo~
The old buffalo barked and walked down the field ridge to make way. Apart from humans, the most valuable animals in the countryside are the cattle in front of us. Although machinery has replaced the role of cattle, buffalo still exist in the countryside.
For example, the terraced fields in front of us are difficult to access by machinery, and they are basically plowed by buffaloes.
Li Yi walked over and reached out to pat the buffalo on the head. The other party didn't make any drastic moves, but just looked up at him, showing doubts in a human way.
"Everything in the world has animism. I see you are quite spiritual. I will teach you the method of enlightening wisdom, the technique of cultivating the self, and the magical power of protecting the Tao. I hope that one day you will ride the clouds and become a fairy."
Li Yi waved his hand and left, walked across the field ridge, and disappeared along the path.
The old buffalo was stunned for a long time, and the pupils glowed brighter, as if something was being conceived.
Finally, it knelt down towards the place where Li Yi left.
"Second uncle, I brought you food."
Li Yi came to a house made of mud bricks, and then a black shadow sprang out, it was a yellow dog.
"Boom!!!"
The yellow dog bared his teeth at him, with such ferocity that he could be seen as a good caretaker of the nursing home.
Before the dog had been arrogant for too long, the second uncle came out with a wooden stick, and smiled when he saw Li Yi's face full of age spots.
"Xingguo, you are here."
The second uncle is a bit demented. Although it doesn't affect his life, he always regards him as his father. Ten years have passed and he is still the same.
