Chapter 234 Chi Xiu's Boyhood
In the first year, Chi Xiu randomly ate some jujubes and pine nuts on the treetops in the back mountain, dug Poria cocos in the soil, and roasted it to eat.After eating that golden elixir, he wouldn't be hungry even if he didn't eat, but if he really stopped eating, he felt that he was not alive.
He is very proficient at weaving rags now, he can pull out the hemp one by one and cook them quickly. Then he weaves the cloth and sews the clothes. On the back mountain, he picks some grass that his sister-in-law used to dye clothes, such as Banlangen. The leaves can dye clothes blue.
He now builds houses, weaves cloth, tans leather, farms, picks fruits, hunts, lives alone, and practices.
Using a thin stone knife, slowly carved a comb.
Comb your hair and beard, find ways to cut off long beards, and eventually learn to control the rate at which your beard grows.
In the second year, I couldn't help but cleared up the weeds that spread around the hut, went to the back mountain to dig stones, and paved the road.
There was no deep pool or small lake under the small waterfall in the back mountain. The spring water spurted from the rocks flowed away along the stream. Chi Xiu made a stone shovel, dug for a few days, and dived into the water with his eyes closed. The fine sackcloth pulled out the soil, and the stones were thrown to the shore, digging out a big puddle.After two days of precipitation, look again, the spring water is crystal clear, you can take a bath, and you can also use water to wash your hair and comb your beard.
Looking at the clear water of the lake, Chi Xiu felt a little better, and jumped forward—the spring water was just submerged, and when it fell into the mud at the bottom of the lake, it stirred up billowing yellow mud.
He crawled out silently, went down with a sackcloth and a shovel, and continued digging.
After three full months of digging, a deep pool with a circumference of 50 meters and a depth of [-] meters can be dug out.
In the third year, the wooden bucket used for watering broke down, so Chi Xiu made a stone ax to chop down trees to make a wooden bucket, and felt that it was not convenient.
It just so happened that I worked as a supervisor in my elder brother's weapons factory back then, and knew how to smelt iron from iron ore. Although the smelted iron could not be made into swords, it was easy to make axes and hammers.Think about that wooden barrel, it doesn't seem to be a spliced barrel, it should be dug out from a piece of wood by Master using magic.
In the fourth year, the orchard around the ginseng fruit trees finally began to bear fruit. It took five years for peaches, three apricots and four pears to be harvested. This year, apricots were harvested.Chi Xiu no longer needs food.
Seven years passed in a flash, and he was sitting in the woods weaving wicker baskets, secretly thankful that he was not as pampered and pampered as the nobles of the Huangdi clan, even though he was the leader's younger brother, he was good at working.
The panda was eating some strange things, probably a mixture of fruits, twigs and bamboo shoots.
The only thatched hut not far away has not been opened for seven years. Although it is a fairy... there is a feeling of unknown life and death.
Chi Xiu talked to himself a few years ago, but later he felt that what he said was stupid, so he shut his mouth and went to work in silence.
The strong wind and rain last night damaged the house he built himself, and the clay pots he had fired two years ago were crushed by the collapsed house.
Now that the basket is finished, he will go to the back mountain to dig the soil and come back to burn pots and bowls. Over the years, he has carefully searched the entire Longevity Hill. He knows where there is clay, where there is iron ore, and where the trees are suitable for harvesting. Burning charcoal to make iron.
The house was built soon, and Chi Xiu couldn't help thinking when he was practicing, he can do everything now, did the master forget to go out?
I heard that some gods will sleep for 1000 years, can't they?
Master is wearing such beautiful clothes, where did they come from?
He has been in seclusion for many years, and no friends have come to him.Who is my master?
I have thought about these questions thousands of times, but there is no answer.
In the ninth year when Chi Xiu went up the mountain, after breaking off the tail and wing feathers of the pheasants, he successfully domesticated several chickens and got eggs every day.He doesn't like to eat these things, they are all prepared for the old iron. The iron-eating beast has aged a lot, lost a lot of weight, and started to lose hair.Chi Xiu thought it must be because he didn't have a lot of meat to eat, and some eggs would do just fine.
The golden elixir of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan was refined in advance, the golden light is shining, the music is lingering, and the fragrance is overflowing.Xiang's iron-eating beast rolled all over the ground, almost biting Chi Xiu's arm.
Great Immortal Zhenyuan concentrated on practicing alchemy, and only now did he realize that he still has an apprentice who just went up the mountain and didn't understand anything, so he wouldn't be disobedient and run down the mountain, right?I don't seem to have told him anything, all children in the world are stupid.When he opened the door of the hut, he froze immediately.
The open space in front of him was originally full of weeds, and he often used fire to burn the weeds, but the weeds could not be burnt out, and the spring breeze blew and regenerated the weeds.Once I retreated to practice or practice alchemy, weeds and shrubs could grow to more than one meter high, which was very annoying. There were also tree species blown by the wind. Once I retreated for ten years, the door was full of trees, and I almost hit the tree when I went out.
This is not the case now, the eyes are very clear, the ground is clean and tidy, and some low plants and herbs are planted.
In the past, when walking through the sticky mud, people usually attached the real qi to their feet to avoid sticking to the yellow mud, or drove the clouds directly. Now there is a clean stone road, which leads directly from the door of the hut to the ginseng fruit tree. direction.
Daxian Zhenyuan looked around in confusion, the courtyard was very clean, there were some things drying in the big bamboo drying tray, and there was another thatched hut next to his own, which seemed to be repaired by his disciples, and the two huts were also used. They are connected by slate roads.
He couldn't help but walk over to have a look, the door of the hut was ajar, inside there was a bed, a straw mat, two futons, a table, several earthenware pots containing clear water, mosquito repellent herbs, a A jar of oil, and a clay lamp, two flints and a jar of fine wool.
My apprentice seems to be very capable, so I don't need to worry about it at all. No wonder I have a relationship between master and apprentice.
Daxian scanned the whole mountain with his spiritual sense. The tree he loved was growing well. He drove over to find his apprentice, and saw that the boy in the past was still a boy, harvesting rapeseed and sesame.Daxian looked at him for a long time, seeing him wearing clothes made by himself, holding a hoe, sickle and bamboo basket made by himself.Suddenly he felt that he was a little too bad for his disciples. The disciples who explained and stopped teaching were not so miserable, but he was really an honest boy who could be old-fashioned and obedient in such an environment.Well, what's his name?
Daxian pressed Luo Yun's head: "Chi Xiu. You... did a good job."
Chi Xiu was really taken aback, he was always strong and strong, hearing and eyesight, but now he didn't hear the sound of Master approaching at all.Hastily put down the hoe, bowed and said: "Master, you have left the customs."
Daxian felt a little embarrassed, I was not serious about being a master, after all, it was the first time: "Well, the house is well built, and the cultivation is also good. What do you want?"
Chi Xiu was silent for a long time, and said: "Master, this disciple doesn't know Master's title yet."
The Daxian blushed, thankfully the apprentice didn't look up, otherwise he would have been seen.Only then did he briefly introduce himself, Zhen Yuanzi, ginseng fruit tree, and asked his apprentice, "What do you need?"
Chi Xiu had thought about this matter countless times before, and said methodically: "Master, if you feel pity for this disciple, please teach me to read and practice spells. Please allow me to go down the mountain and buy pots, needles and threads, salt and some other things."
Daxian nodded slightly: "There is no money on the mountain." In the mortal world, shell coins are used for a while, knives are used for a while, and coins are exchanged for a while when the dynasties change.
Chi Xiu was speechless, and said: "Master, there is a copper mine and a silver mine in the back mountain." This mountain is really big and has everything.
Daxian felt that he was very embarrassed, so he directly supported the two of them on a cloud and went straight to the South China Sea.Scanning under the sea surface, the Dragon Palace is really boring, eating and drinking again, caught a huge clam with magic and threw it to the apprentice: "There is a night pearl in it, dig it out by yourself, don't light the oil lamp at night, it will hurt your eyes."
Chi Xiu saw the boundless sea for the first time, and he was floating in the air looking down again, sitting on the cloud with a little dizziness, and forced himself to calm down: "Thank you, Master."
Daxian said in his heart: The little apprentice is really soft and cute, hardworking and well-behaved.I couldn't help but reached out and stroked his hair: "It's so good." And hundreds of catties of salt were filtered directly from the sea, and there were probably some fish, crabs, and kelp in it.
Chi Xiu suddenly thought of his elder brother, and when he was a child, he was pressed and rubbed his head by his elder brother. It felt similar, and his eyes immediately turned red.
Daxian really wanted to take such a good apprentice out to show off, but before that, he got some things for him. On the way back, he caught a lot of clouds and colorful clouds. The clouds hundreds of feet wide were held in his hands and stirred with spiritual energy. , Squeeze, squeeze, it becomes a ball, shake it, it is a ball of white cloth, hand the cloth to the apprentice: "This is the fairy clothes, you can control it to become clothes by soaking it with your consciousness."
Chi Xiu got a plain colored cloud dress.
On the way back, Great Immortal Zhenyuan saw another familiar object, a big iron lump: "Chi Xiu, do you know what this is?"
Chi Xiu said in his heart: "It's ugly iron ore." "The disciple is stupid."
Daxian Zhenyuan said: "Gonggong touched Buzhou Mountain in anger, the sky tilted to the northwest, and countless meteorites fell from the sky. This is a piece of meteorite from the sky." With a wave of his sleeve, he put away the piece of meteorite: "Do you want an iron pot? A sickle ? Knife? What else do you want?"
Chi Xiu said: "I don't know, maybe there should be a weapon."
"You can't use such an ordinary meteorite as a weapon. I will go to the 33rd floor and grab a piece for you as a teacher."
"Master is working too hard." Chi Xiu said heartily: My master is so generous.
That night, the two masters and apprentices sat in a clean thatched hut with night pearls hanging on the roof. .
Immortal Zhenyuan sat on the ground, holding Fuchen in his hand, and sitting opposite Chi Xiu in white clothes.Daxian was very satisfied with the current state and began to teach him to recognize characters. The characters used by the gods were different from the characters he used (Oracle Bone Inscriptions).
"Da, Zai, Qian, Yuan." Daxian Zhenyuan said while moving his fingers lightly to draw these words in the air, and then turned the words floating in the air to show his disciples.
Chi Xiu took a bamboo slip and a knife, and carved all these characters.
"Dry. Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen."
Chi Xiu asked: "Master, what do these words mean?"
Immortal Zhenyuan was even happier: "Savvy!" He explained it to him in detail, from the Dao to the Tao Te Ching, from the Tao Te Ching to Yin and Yang, to formations, and to gossip.
The Great Immortal started to speak, and he talked for a month without a break. Every day, the master and the apprentice went to water the tree together. Chi Xiu carried the bucket, and the Great Immortal Zhenyuan watched him carefully watering the tree.
"Master, this tree is so big."
"Yes."
"When will you mature?"
Immortal Zhenyuan took out one from his sleeve silently: "There is another one from the previous batch, and this batch is about 1000 years old. Good apprentice, I'll give you one."
"Thank you, Master." Chi Xiu almost cried while holding the ginseng fruit, which looked like a baby who had not yet reached the third dynasty.
Immortal Zhenyuan was a little at a loss, patted his head: "Don't cry." I know that I am a good master, so you don't have to be moved to cry.
Chi Xiu sniffled: "I think of my daughter, she was only this age at that time, she got sick several times and almost died, and finally grew up..." Died on the battlefield, right in front of my eyes.
Great Immortal Zhenyuan sighed, fumbled in his sleeve, grabbed something useless and turned it into a handkerchief and handed it to him: "Don't cry, she has gone to reincarnation now." Afterwards, he told me about the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Then give him a ball of black molten iron that has been boiled for a long time, let him pinch the sickle and pot by himself, and then continue the class.
The bamboo slips recorded around Chi Xiu piled up like a mountain. When the immortal stopped to drink water, he said, "Master, this disciple wants to build a house first to keep these bamboo slips."
Immortal Zhenyuan fell into deep thought, and it took him a long time to arrive: "There should be a spell to build a house, but no, I'll invent one for you."
Chi Xiu waited for a while.
Immortal Zhenyuan walked to the door and stared at the ground: "Get up!"
Four earth walls were erected on the flat ground, leaving gaps in the doors and windows, and then some sticks and thatch flew in...
"There is no such spell, but you can manipulate these things with your mind."
Not long after, Master was about to retreat again, and Chi Xiu asked: "Can Master accept a few more disciples? I can have someone to talk with when you are retreating."
Immortal Zhenyuan thought for a while: "Okay." The pine nuts and dates on the back mountain are enough to eat, and you have quite a lot of chickens, so you can afford it.
Golden pill, of course not everyone can eat golden pill.
Chi Xiu smiled shyly, and brought out a child from the bamboo grove: "When I was going down the mountain, I met a clansman who was being hunted down by his enemies. I really couldn't bear it, so I brought him back. The master looked at him and said he was okay. , let him be an apprentice, if not, the disciple will let him live at the foot of the mountain, temporarily avoiding the enemies, and then send him away when he becomes an adult. Is that okay?"
The young Baihong was so nervous that he couldn't speak, he took a sneak look at the glowing fairy, and quickly lowered his head.
Great Immortal Zhenyuan said: "If you like it, keep it, and slowly teach him how to cultivate immortals. When I leave the customs, if I can practice Taoism, I will stay. If I can't, I will talk to others."
Chi Xiu bowed and said, "Thank you, Master." He gradually figured out Master's temper, he has a good temper, as long as his tree is not involved, he will almost respond to requests, and he will be very happy because of some inexplicable things.
Immortal Zhenyuan closed the door and said to himself: Your vision is not as good as mine, this kid looks stupid, not as good as you.
Chi Xiu said: "Second son, let's go, brother will take you to feed the chickens and collect eggs."
The author has something to say: Fortunately, I have seen things in this area, which is almost primitive life.
At that time, many spells had not been invented, and many things did not exist.
Great Immortal Zhenyuan is so cute~ Chi Xiu's little crying bag.
A mountain cannot be clean and orderly, barren mountains are messy.
