Chapter 37: rice bug
Afterwards, Xu Yi covered a weak heart that had endured tormented displacement, and shrank away from the sad place.
Before going out, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Su Yan, who was buried in Su Yan's arms...Lin Qingxu, who couldn't stand upright with a smile.
Alas, the world is getting worse, and morals are degrading!
Lin Qingxu didn't notice Xu Yan's condemning eyes, she held on to Su Yan's jacket tightly, her belly twitched, and it took a while for her to recover.
As for why the old man Xuyi didn't enter the Immortal Realm, in addition to his high-sounding answer, she actually came up with another answer.
The most important reason is that because Xu Yu and fellow daoists have soared together, the cultivation of fellow daoists has stagnated. As a trustworthy person, Xu Yu decided to keep his promises.
——The above is a condensed and concise answer. If you dig deeper, you have to mention the scene that the two agreed to.
Three hundred years ago, Xu Yu and fellow Taoists on Quju Mountain in Xianshan had a drinking match.
At that time, both of them were cultivation bases in the early Yuan Ying period. Generally speaking, when an immortal cultivator enters the Nascent Soul stage, it is equivalent to opening a crack in the gate of ascension, and only after the out-of-body stage, the calamity-transcending stage, and the Mahayana, he ascends to the fairyland.
Both of them are leaders in the world of immortality. Even if they made a promise to ascend together when they were drunk, they were very reassured about each other's strength, so they didn't make any changes. I don't think that one of the two's Xuyi cultivation base developed as normal. Constantly improving, and fellow Daoists... have been standing still.
Waiting for Xuyi's cultivation to go from the early stage of Nascent Soul to the middle and late stages of Nascent Soul, and even after a small calamity, he officially entered the stage of out-of-body, and the daoist still stayed in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Fake moment: …
In addition to the disappointment, the old friend confirmed that this is a stagnant cultivation base, and there is no possibility of ascending to immortals within a thousand years.
When it comes to cultivation base stagnation and the common bottleneck period on the road to immortal cultivation, there are differences.
The cultivator who entered the bottleneck period also did not improve his cultivation, but vaguely, he could feel the force of the upward thrust, the strength of the upward thrust and the suppression offset, breaking through the bottleneck period, and the cultivation level could be improved to a higher level; , you may suffer from a backlash from your cultivation base.
And monks like Xu Yu and old friends who are about to reach the realm of ascension, have experienced the great enlightenment of the world almost over and over again, not to mention cutting off the seven emotions and six desires, many desires and extravagant thoughts have long been released. At this time, the cultivation base is no longer advanced, and to a large extent it already means that there is no hope for ascension.
The old friend's cultivation base is stagnant, which means that the dream of the two of them soaring together turns into a bubble and floats farther and farther. Xuyi, from that time on, preached that he was nostalgic for the world and did not want to ascend.
The above facts are enough to show that Xuyi is a good friend who is affectionate and righteous, but if you go deeper, there will be gossip to talk about.
Lin Qingxu deliberately mentioned the name of the "Qing Huan" girl he fell in love with before. It can make Xu Yiheng's mind stay in the mortal world, and it also adds a role of Qinghuan.
Qinghuan's surname is Xu. She is the daughter of Huaxuan, one of the three major sects in the Xiu Xian world, who is worthy of the name.
The head of the Xiuxian sect is difficult to change for thousands of years, and the age of Qinghuan girl is almost the same as that of the thousand-year-old old man. Xu Yi is Shan Linggen's excellent talent. The road to immortality has been smooth sailing, but the relationship has not been smooth.
Xu Qinghuan has ordinary water and spiritual roots, but because of the benefits of the sect, he has been washing tendons and bones since he was a child. In addition, he is diligent and intelligent, and has a thorough mind, which makes him progress faster than ordinary cultivators.
Xu Qinghuan is addicted to cultivating immortals, and has no mood to love at all, let alone the genius Xuyi who often hangs around her. When Xu Qinghuan was 1,200 years old, she was able to enter the Mahayana and ascend to immortality. She remained unrepentant.
On the eve of her transcendence, Xu Yu heroically put into words the pain of unrequited love for thousands of years. Xu Yu imagined it perfectly. According to the progress of his cultivation, he would retreat and study for a hundred years, and his ascension would be similar. At that time, he would not only be accompanied by friends, but also fly with his beloved.
However, his boyish heart was ruthlessly destroyed - Xu Qinghuan rejected him without pretense, and it didn't take long for him to survive the calamity successfully!
The ruthless rejection of the beloved, coupled with the sadness of the old friend's stagnant cultivation base, in a moment of anger, he decided not to enter the fairyland again!
Lin Qingxu laughed when he got a real and comprehensive answer.
She has always felt that Xu Yi's character is very pure and strange. She has lived for more than a thousand years, and she does not have the kindness and gentleness of the elderly. She likes to toss the younger generation.
However, she only discovered today that there is a reason for Xu Yu's innocence. Although he has a skin that has survived for more than a thousand years, he still carries a cheerful and sensitive heart.
After Lin Qingxu finished laughing, a certain part of his heart settled down.
When Su Yan first told her that the old man's Taoist name was "Xu Yu", she suspected that the old man was the same person in the novel "The Legend of Lin Nuxiu"? After all, there is a lot of overlap between the characters in the novel and her reality.
But now she can basically confirm that they are definitely not the same person.
Whether it is character or behavior, Xu Yu and the old man in the novel are simply separated by a world. If one day the old man turns into the kind-hearted look in the novel, he speaks eloquently, and is cautious in his words and deeds, not to mention whether other people can adapt, just himself, he will be vomited to death by that restrained look.
Ever since Qing Wan left, she married Su Yan and got to know him in depth, Lin Qingxu felt that the plot of the novel was getting further and further away from her.
The shackles that bound her called the plot before seemed to be getting looser and looser, and were only loosely placed behind her. Only when she looked back inadvertently, did she suddenly remember their existence.
...
After the middle of July, it began to enter the dog days, which lasted until the beginning of autumn, which is the hottest time of the year.
In the early part of July, it rained intermittently to cool down, but in August, not only did the rain not fall, but even the windy weather was pitiful. Lin Qingxu ran around in the hottest weather, his skin darkened by two degrees, and he finally finished reading all the agreed houses.
After the yard is over, the matter is not over. After Lin Qingxu comprehensively considered all the houses, he finally screened out three courtyards for Fang Embroidery to choose from.
The three courtyards are close to or far from the Su Mansion, but the layout is similar. They are all compact houses with large open courtyards and a single row. The price is completely within Lin Qingxu's tolerance.
Fang Xiu was quite satisfied with the three courtyards and was not too picky, so he chose the one closest to the Su Mansion.
Lin Qingxu paid the money generously with Fang Xiu on his back, and arranged for the OEM to quickly decorate the house. The courtyard was cleaned and tidy, the worn-out tiles were refurbished, the old paint was repainted, and the completion time was agreed. , returned to Su Mansion happily.
Qian Fangxiu, who bought the house, originally intended to pay for it himself. Although Lin Qingxu didn't know how much property her mother had saved over the years, she knew from the original owner's memory that although the Lin family was not poor, it was nothing to do with Kuanchuo.
Besides, she is now a little rich woman who can't get in the money. Of course, she has reason to spend it.
When Su Yan came back in the evening, she deliberately told him about the money, and made it clear that A-Niang would be responsible for the money she bought for the house!
Hearing this, Su Yan touched her head with a smile and agreed.
That night, Lin Qingxu slept deeply with the pride that she was now grown up and able to help auntie buy a house and a car.
However, when she woke up the next day, when she flipped out the money box hidden in the inner layer of the wardrobe, there were only a few bits and pieces of silver left in the empty box, and there were actually five more hundred two-dollar bills!
And in her memory disturbed by the dream, suddenly appeared in her dazed morning, the soft words that Su Yan leaned against her ear before leaving.
"I left some pocket money for Qing'er, not much..."
Lin Qingxu: !
Is five hundred taels of silver really not much in Su Yan's eyes? Also, is the place where she hides her private money really so easy to find? She feels very secretive!
Before the winter came, Fang Xiu moved to the town smoothly as Lin Qingxu wished, and with her came a group of chickens big and small.
Fang Xiu thought it was troublesome at first, because he wanted to throw the big red **** and his little brother to the neighbor Aunt Zhao, how could Lin Qingxu want to!
Ah Mao is so sturdy, in case of being stabbed by Aunt Zhao with a knife, who will they go to to eliminate their old hatred of her before?
Besides, she is determined to wait for Ah Mao to live as a fairy chicken!
Fang Xiu moved to the town, and within a short time, Lin Qingxu really had nothing to worry about.
She had predicted that if she realized that something was wrong, she would take her mother and the members of the Su family to a distant city for refuge. Now there is no accident to say, the Su family also has an old cultivator in charge, and there is no small water wave in the surrounding calm.
In this way, Lin Qingxu started the rice bug with peace of mind.
The hourglass of time keeps turning upside down, and the fine sand that slides down the opening will not return.
After crossing the dog days and the golden autumn of falling leaves, the sky is getting colder, with the first biting cold wind blowing, officially entering winter. The mystery of the four seasons is that they are always changing, but there are still rules to be found.
After winter came, Lin Qingxu officially changed from a house worm to a long-sleeping rice worm.
She couldn't wake up if she didn't sleep until noon (11:00), which was Fangyin's anxious judgment after summing up her experience.
When she first discovered such a situation, Fang Yin was in a panic.
The ancients went to bed early, and they would definitely fall asleep at Hai Shi (21:00-23:00). Even if the eldest young master tossed around for a while at night, he would not pass the midnight (one o'clock in the morning). It is not normal for the lady to sleep for half a day. phenomenon.
At that time, Su Yan went out to handle business as usual, and Fang Yin hurriedly brought the matter to Yu Shi's.
When Yu Shi heard this, he was overjoyed!
When Lin Qingxu woke up that day, he was held by Yu's hand and patiently condoled, for example, what was the reaction recently, besides being sleepy or not feeling any other discomfort, would he want to eat sour, would he want to vomit... blabla.
Lin Qingxu was stunned.
After she was diagnosed with a demented face by the doctor, did she realize that Yu thought she was pregnant? ?
Lin Qingxu: …
Yu was disappointed to learn that Lin Qingxu was not pregnant with her little grandson, but she still suppressed her sadness and followed the doctor's instructions to tell Lin Qingxu not to sleep too much, so as not to be weak.
However, the matter of how long to sleep is really not something Lin Qingxu can control for a while.
Before getting married, Lin Qingxu was woken up by Fang Xiu by smashing the door every day. However, after they got married, there were no harsh family rules in Su's house, and they asked to wake up at what time to be safe. Su Yan even wanted to let her sleep as much as she wanted when she was still young.
For Lin Qingxu, a person with weak willpower, good habits are hard to stick to, and bad habits are formed in a day.
She couldn't get out of bed without sleeping for ten hours in winter, which became the most realistic portrayal of her.
In the later period, the doctor came again and confirmed that her body was indeed fine, but it was only because she felt a lot that it dispelled everyone's doubts. And Lin Qingxu slept until noon, which gradually became her daily routine.
...
Someone who had fallen asleep again struggled to get up from the warm big bed, lazily took Fang Yin's hot jacket by the fireplace, and put it on slowly.
After eating the "breakfast" meal, Lin Qingxu sat upright in front of the desk and practiced calligraphy for an hour. Seeing that the copybook was finally free from earthworms crawling, she could barely call herself a decent handwriting. She breathed.
When she was in modern school, her father, who was a teacher, specially asked her to copy copybooks and practice pen calligraphy. She could not be used as a model for writing, but she was also decent.
She used to not understand why someone wrote a word that twisted like a worm, or like a little monster shrunk into a ball, until she faced her calligraphy... Every distorted font really looks like a lot of lines Bugs twisted together.
After practicing calligraphy, Lin Qingxu got up and flipped through the book of words on the bookshelf. After confirming that he had read all the words, he sighed and said to Fang Yin, who was reading hard, "Fang Yin, we will be doing this afternoon. I went to Qilu Bookstore, and I finished reading my book again."
After she finished speaking, she glanced sadly at the other window that she had not seen.
Fang Yin was nibbling on one of the "books" in her mouth, and she heard the words smoothly.
An hour after breakfast, Lin Qingxu had lunch again. After lunch, she and Fang Yin left Su Mansion in a carriage without stopping.
In the Qilu Bookstore, Lu Qishen was not obsessed with creating his "Love, Hate, Love and Enmity that XX and XX Have to Say" this time. He was holding two hand warmers, shrunk on a chair and wrapped in a thin bear, looking up and thinking about life .
The room was surprisingly cold, only a little warmer than the ice and snow outside.
The carriage could not enter the narrow alley, so Lin Qingxu and Fangyin trotted over, thinking that they could finally reach a warm place, but they didn't want to be dreaming at all!
"Miss Qingxu, you are finally here!"
The depression in Lin Qingxu's chest failed to materialize, and was scalded by Lu Qi's deep, hot eyes.
She tightened the thick coat on her body, rubbed her hands again, glanced at the hand warmer that Lu Qi was holding tightly, and complained, "It's too cold for you? It's still leaking..." She glanced at the door at the window. A huge hole.
Hearing the words, Lu Qishen touched a wooden board, and in the surprised eyes of Lin Qingxu and Fang Yin, he covered the hole...
"Okay, is it gone now?" Lu Qishen said seriously.
Lin Qingxu: "..."
She suspected him to be a fool.
...
Lin Qingxu and Fang Yin, each with a hand warmer, whispered beside the bookshelf.
Since Lin Qingxu recommended the storybook to Fangyin, this little girl has become addicted recently. Apart from not forgetting the business, she actually spends her time reading the storybook.
And her current rank belongs to the most elementary level, there are no taboos in each story, and almost every protagonist CP can make her girlish heart overflow.
Lin Qingxu watched Fangyin's eyes fall into the book of words, huddled beside her like a hamster entering a new world, her eyes glittering and whispering, she couldn't help rubbing her hair.
Very nice.
Fang Yin: (⊙_⊙)
Here, they chose the script to their heart's content, while Lu Qishen, who was not protected by the hand warmer, was staring at a small stack of ink-stained paper without fear of the cold, and studied it like a cult.
His hands were numb from the cold, so he consciously put his swollen palms to his mouth and breathed in the heat. After the heat spread, he continued to study.
The paper in front of him is exactly the character template and story stalk that Lin Qingxu classified during this period. Compared with Lu Qishen, he only knew to write some old-fashioned stalks of princes and princesses, commoner scholars, or immortals and mortals' love-hate entanglements. What Lin Qingxu wrote completely broke through the boundaries of his thinking.
What about the dead horse and resurrection terrier, the reincarnation of the dead to cross the terrier, the time and space shuttle terrier to the past and the future, or the primitive jungle life terrier, as well as other planetary world terriers and so on.
Although some of the stalks are based on Lu Qishen's undeveloped brain area, his reading is in the fog, but it can't stop his constantly upgrading imagination. It is also thanks to Lin Qingxu that his calligraphy practice has been effective at these times. It is not as ugly as he was originally, and there is still a typo in two or three words (Lin Qingxu: ... Please read it with me, it is called 'simplified Chinese'! ), causing Lu Qishen to look dizzy.
When Lin Qingxu and Fangyin each came out with a stack of storybooks, Lu Qishen swam round and round in the imaginary ocean.
His exposed cheeks were colder than Gao Yuanhong, but the corners of his obsessively raised mouth seemed to be tucked into the eyes of two stars, looking at Lin Qingxu with a stomachache.
"Cough cough!" Lin Qingxu coughed heavily and greeted Fang Yin, who smashed the words book on his desk just like she did.
Two consecutive shocks made Lu Qishen suddenly return to his senses.
After counting the points, taking out the money, and waiting for Lu Qishen to carefully wrap the outer skin with thick kraft paper to protect it from moisture and cold, Lin Qingxu returned the hand warmer to its original owner and prepared to leave.
Lu Qishen held the long-lost hand warmer, and was so moved that he was about to cry.
Seeing that the two girls stepped out of the threshold and were about to merge with the snowy sky outside, Lu Qi's mind suddenly flashed, and he hurriedly stopped them: "Hey, Miss Qingxu, wait a minute."
Lin Qingxu retracted one of his legs as he stepped out the door, and told him to stop himself, not surprised: "What's the matter?"
Before it was so cold, she ran to Qilu Bookstore two or three times a month. At that time, Lu Qishen's thinking had just been developed by her, and many things could not be understood. It was a common thing to stop her and ask questions.
It's just—she looked back and saw Lu Qishen's stupid expression.
What about the ignorant and circled little star?
Lu Qishen hugged the hand warmer tightly, watched her come back, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Miss Qingxu, I'll tell you something, it's about your husband Su Yan, don't be angry when you hear it."
Lin Qingxu frowned: ? ?
Why, is it possible that you can still come up with the shocking secret words that my husband went out to steal men? !
Seeing this, Lu Qishen turned serious and solemn into a pleasing smile, winked at her, and his voice was eager to try: "Master Su, he is being watched!"
The author has something to say: Lu Qishen: The actor himself is also!
