Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life Chapter 24 Taoist Beads

The two went to a shop along the street and asked for a small drawer of steamed buns and two bowls of porridge.

Li Xuan didn't eat the buns, but just took the porridge bowl slowly.

Zhou Shuning ate the buns in small bites, very elegant.

Li Xuandu said: "Speaking of xiaolongbao, I still prefer Jiangnan steamed buns, you can see the soup inside through the skin, and you are also particular about eating, lift it gently, move it slowly, open the small window, and then drink the soup." ”

After Zhou Shuning swallowed the food in his mouth, he reminded seriously: "Eat without words, sleep without speaking." ”

Li Xuandu smiled: "I'm not a scholar, I don't pay so much attention to it, besides, it's you who eats, I just drink porridge." ”

Zhou Shuning pursed her mouth, obviously not agreeing with Li Xuandu's strong words, but the little girl did not have the courage of the Confucian sages to "although tens of millions of people will go to me", and in the face of Li Xuandu, the "big devil", she dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Li Xuandu had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were even more unprecedentedly gentle, unlike in ordinary times, he seemed to be kind to others, but in fact, he was indifferent in his eyes.

This ice-like indifference was condensed by the bloody rain and the shadow of the sword, but it also melted because of a clear and clean child.

The little girl continued to eat steamed buns, so she abided by the rule of "eating without saying anything", and did not say more than half a word. Although the little girl is not very old, she is already very ladylike, plus the little girl is an out-and-out beauty embryo, when she grows up, it is estimated that she is a fairy character similar to Yu Qingning.

It's just that these have nothing to do with Li Xuan, and by the time the little girl can walk the rivers and lakes, he is no longer young, and he will probably be honored by the young heroes as a "senior".

After Zhou Shuning finished eating, Li Xuandu asked, "Do you want to buy some pastries?" ”

The little girl nodded a little embarrassedly.

Li Xuandu said softly: "If you want to eat pastries, you have to practice hard." After stepping into the Qi Realm, the next step is to try to use the Qi Machine to impact the Upper Dantian Xuanqi. Xuannu Sect is more inclined to Taoism, so we will say according to Taoism, the spine of the Qi Sea Acupoint from the tail to the gate of life is the coldest, it is the snow mountain, the snow is the spine, and then up to the back of the head is the Fengchi Acupoint, which is the smallest and difficult to open, the qi machine is not easy to pass through so far, and the force should be greater and more refined, the Taoist is known as the ox pulling the cart, if you can break this pass, you can make the body qi achieve Zhou Tian, that is, the seventh product in the realm of nine products into the divine realm. ”

The little girl lowered her eyebrows, but there was still a little smile between her eyebrows, and the whole person quietly jumped up.

Things in the world are so unfair, some people may not be able to touch the threshold of entering the divine realm after practicing hard all their lives, but they can be replaced by a very small number of people with good talents, but it is a common thing to set foot in the divine realm in the rest of the month, Li Xuandu of the year, enlightened at the age of three, enlightened at the age of four, and began to officially refine qi at the age of five, but it is even more terrifying to skip the solid and enter the imperial qi realm after three days of hard work.

Li Xuan drank all the porridge in his hand, put down the porridge bowl, even if he couldn't see Xiao Nizi's eyes, he knew that she was laughing, so he poured cold water on Xiao Nizi and said: "Nine products and nine realms, solid, imperial qi, and the three realms of entering the gods are known as the first glimpse of the door, even if you are lucky enough to touch the realm of entering the gods, because of skipping the solid realm, the foundation must be unstable, plus you can't make a move and a half, and you have no experience in fighting people, if you really want to start with others, it's still a matter of a knife." ”

Zhou Shuning raised her head and pursed her lips and didn't look at him.

Li Xuandu smiled, since he has embarked on this road of rivers and lakes, he is no longer a flower in the garden, and he will inevitably undergo the washing of wind, frost, snow and rain, what is this verbal "sword".

Disciples, the most taboo is soft-hearted, and strict teachers can produce high disciples. Although Li Xuandu is a first-time teacher, how the master taught him back then is still vivid.

After eating the buns, Li Xuandu got up and went to settle the bill, only spending ten yuan, and then took the little girl to the pastry shop, ready to buy a few pastries.

Although Zhou Shuning was born in a scholarly family, Zhou Tingchao was an honest official before his death, and he only paid more than 100 taels of silver a year, and he had to support his family.

Li Xuandu is not stingy, picked a few delicate plain pastries, less oil and sugar, made of glutinous rice, although the taste is light, but not greasy, about two catties of silver, spent nine dollars of silver, almost a family of three for a month's expenses, wrapped in oil paper, after coming out of the store, Li Xuandu turned his palm, and disappeared.

When Zhou Shuning saw this scene, she thought she was dazzled, but looking at Li Xuandu's up and down, there was no trace of an oiled paper bag at all, where can such a big oiled paper bag be placed?

Looking at Zhou Shuning's puzzled eyes, Li Xuan didn't answer, but just led her to find an inn to settle down first, after all, this little half a month of sleeping in the open is really not a good time for the little girl, and it is also a good thing to be able to rest for a while.

When he came to the inn room, Li Xuandu rolled up his sleeves, revealing a string of purple and black prayer beads on his wrist, dark in color, a total of eighteen, at first glance, it looked like a bunch of ripe grapes.

Li Xuandu explained: "In this world, there are not only martial arts, but also various immortal treasures, among which there is a kind of treasure that can contain Sumeru in mustard seeds, according to the appearance of the treasures, the size of the hidden Qiankun is different, ordinarily speaking, it is the size of three feet square. ”

The little girl's eyes widened, carefully examined the string of prayer beads, and found that each bead was engraved with a villain, or sitting, standing, or lying, or carrying hands, or holding a sword, or chanting, or meditating, with different postures, and around the villain were engraved with various difficult talismans, faintly revealing the glory.

Li Xuandu continued: "In addition to Buddhism, in fact, Taoists also have prayer beads, also known as flowing beads. "Taishang Sanyuan Liuzhu Sutra" cloud: the use of white pearls, round and clear, as large as the tongzi 365 pieces, should be the degree of the stars, the sun and the moon will meet. and "Taixuan Golden Lock Flowing Beads" cloud: day and night, the week and day are endless, such as the endless flow of water, the stars are round like pearls, so it is said that the beads are also. ”

"The most common number of Buddhist prayer beads is one hundred and eight, which means one hundred and eight kinds of troubles, and the common number of Taoist beads is eighty-one, which means that there are eighty-one of them, of course, there are twelve, twenty-four, twenty-eight, and thirty-six pieces, but the number of eighteen is extremely rare, implying the towering eighteenth floor on the road. The name of this string of beads in my hand is the eighteenth floor, each bead is a Sumeru mustard seed, the inside is about the size of a three-foot square box, eighteen beads are connected into a string, it is equivalent to carrying eighteen large boxes. ”

"But this is not the best Sumeru mustard seed treasure, Yan Feiqing of the Zhengyi sect has a pocket, called the Qiankun bag, which is as big as a palace, which can not only be stored, but also used as a magic weapon against the enemy, and the enemy is included in it in a special way, which is extremely mysterious. ”

As he spoke, Li Xuandu flipped his wrist, and the two catties of pastries appeared in his palm again.

The little girl took the pastry, her face full of fascination, almost as a fairy story.
