Chapter 7 Secrets

early morning.

The dazzling morning light leaps out from Dali Mountain and caresses over the golden Wangyue Lake. The wind sweeps through the endless layers of reeds, bringing with it the sound of children laughing and playing on the Meichi River.

Chen Erniu sat on the ridge of the field, looking worriedly at the crops in the field and thinking about the woman who was ill in bed.

Chen Erniu was born in Lichuankou, east of Dali Mountain. More than twenty years ago, Lichuankou suffered an unexplained drought. Not only was there no water falling, white smoke was also coming out of the ground, which scared the villagers and fled in all directions.

He was still a half-grown child at the time, and he fled to Lijing Village in a daze. After he begged, the farmer Li Genshui took him in and rented an acre of land for him to survive the next year.

When he was older, he rented an additional acre of paddy field, built an earth house, married Li Genshui's daughter, and took root in the village with great success.

But his wife suddenly fell ill. Fortunately, he still had some savings over the years, so he carried her to the entrance of the village for Mr. Han to see - the minor illness only required a few doses of medicine. He placed his wife with his husband, but he still couldn't let go of his worries. One illness would impoverish three generations!

"Uncle!" Chen Erniu was lost in thought, and a hearty voice woke him up.

But he saw a handsome young man walking out of the courtyard, with an eager smile on his face, greeting him.

"Hey, Changhu, I can't bear it, I can't bear it!"

Chen Erniu bent down repeatedly. He just married a concubine of the Li family and was a tenant of the family. He really couldn't claim to be the eldest son.

Li Genshui was smart and capable, but he was very carefree. He didn't have enough wives, so he went to the road to take in two women as concubines. His wife gave birth to two boys, but his concubine gave birth to three sons and four daughters.

At that time, Li Genshui was old and almost dead, but his only legitimate son who was with him died suddenly like this. Several concubines were young and strong, and they were eyeing the more than ten acres of land at home.

At this time, Li Mutian, who had run away from home, came back with a knife and his men. This cruel veteran hacked to death the housekeeper who was cheating on others, and the whole family of the big family who poisoned his brother and was about to merge was killed. Jing, not even a dog was spared.

Li Mutian and his two brothers carried knives dripping with blood and dragged the corpse on a cart. The bloody traces were dragged from the end of the village to the end of the village. Every family in the village was closed and everyone was in danger. Li Mutian's younger brothers were frightened and panicked. They thought that the real owner had come and they would lose their share of the land.

Unexpectedly, Li Mutian summoned several brothers and said that they were all like brothers. He divided the land of the big family into two acres, and gave four acres of land to each of the brothers he brought back. He was so grateful. The two younger brothers repeatedly called the master's eldest brother, and this was how they settled down.

Seeing Li Changhu's gentle smile, which somehow overlapped with Li Mutian's indifferent face splattered with blood, Chen Erniu shivered in the bright sun and asked respectfully:

"Is Changhu coming?"

"Hey, my uncle is too polite." Li Changhu smiled and said softly:

"I heard that my aunt was ill, and my father thought that my uncle would not be able to spare time to cook, so he specially asked me to invite you and Xiao Ze to the house to try my mother's cooking."

"This... I'm so embarrassed." Chen Erniu forced a smile and was in a dilemma.

"That's it! Mother has prepared the food." Li Changhu patted Chen Erniu on the shoulder, said goodbye and left.

"Okay." Chen Erniu smiled, shook his head, and shouted into the room:

"Ozawa, pack up and go to your uncle's house for dinner tonight."

The Li family renovated the house the year before last, and the area was expanded several times. The entire house faced north and was rectangular in shape. The front yard was built with stone bricks and stone locks. It looked like a place for martial arts training. Chen Erniu looked at the weight of the stone locks. Not small, I couldn’t help but praise:

"Doesn't the Li family still have a way to practice martial arts? What a stone lock."

Stepping on the stone bricks, we entered the main courtyard. There was a pond built in the center and a few herrings were put in it. On the left and right of the lobby surrounded by bluestones were the side rooms of Li Changhu and Li Tongya. The bottoms of the house, verandah, gate and second door were paved with strips of stone. Or the stone steps, which look very impressive.

Li Tongya greeted and entered the main courtyard. Now he is eighteen years old, but he has not yet married. Li Changhu actually married the second daughter of the Ren family, and he had married into the family with great success some time ago.

Chen Erniu had dinner with everyone in the Li family and sat in the courtyard chatting, but he saw Li Chijing hurriedly walked into the front yard and whispered a few words in Li Mutian's ear.

Li Chijing was only nine years old, but he was handsome and smart, which made him particularly popular among his uncles, nephews and brothers.

Li Mutian was leisurely watching his children chatting, when he heard Li Chijing whisper in his ear:

"Father, then... the jianzi shines!"

He remained calm, patted his legs, and said to everyone:

"I'm old, but I can't sit still anymore. I'll go and have a rest while you guys chat." After saying that, he turned around and went to the backyard. Everyone hurriedly responded, and Chen Erniu bowed and was about to leave.

There were several side rooms in the back hall, and Li Mutian entered the ancestral hall, which was located in the center and was the most spacious. In front of the ancestral hall was a memorial tablet with melons and fruits, offering sacrifices to the six generations of ancestors who had been found in the village annals.

Li Mutian pushed on the wall, revealing the compartment at the back.

The skylight was open in the compartment, and the moonlight fell on a stone platform made of bluestone inside.

There was a blue-grey bronze mirror placed on the stone platform, and it was indeed shining with white light like water.

"Three years... Jing'er, go and call your brothers."

Li Mutian looked at the gray bronze mirror and frowned.

"Yes." Li Chijing nodded vigorously and went out to find his brothers.

When Lu Jiangxian woke up, his mind was filled with information. He paused for a stick of incense and began to read the information on the jade stone.

"Taiyin Breathing and Nourishing Wheel Sutra"!

This method mainly teaches how to control the aura of heaven and earth through the "orifices" of the human body, activate the lunar moonlight, and finally cultivate the six wheels of fetal breath. You can use these six wheels to extend your life, nourish your nature, and perform various spells. After the six rounds have been raised to resemble a full moon, you can enter the Qi training period.

Later, there are several minor techniques, such as golden light technique, clothing purification technique, water avoidance technique, exorcism technique, heart connection technique, etc. All you need to do is cultivate six rounds and activate the spiritual energy according to the method.

At the same time, Fa Jue talks about the six realms of cultivating immortality, which are divided into fetal breath, Qi training, foundation building, Zifu, golden elixir, and Yuanying. What this jade stone records is the fetal breath nourishing wheel method of the Yuehua Yuan Palace, the Yue Kingdom Immortal Palace, and was given to Yue Hua Immortal Palace fetal breath disciples to learn and practice.

After Lu Jiangxian swallowed the jade, he felt that he had understood a lot of things invisibly. Not only had the range of his spiritual consciousness expanded to twenty feet, but the upper limit of the power of the moonlight had also increased dozens of times. As long as the power of the moonlight was enough, "Taiyin Vomiting" Several minor techniques recorded in the Nayang Lun Sutra can also be performed within one foot of the mirror body.

The most important thing is that a spell emerged from the memory of the mirror itself, called:

"Xuanzhu Sacrificial Spiritual Technique"!
