Chapter 106 After Xie Shan's ceremony, Su Ziyi opened his eyes and looked at Dr.
Li on the altar.After absorbing that aura, Bian Qing, who was successfully promoted to the fifth layer of qi refining, was overjoyed, he bowed his head and exchanged a pleasant look with Su Yulang, who was also promoted, and he wanted to share his good mood with Su Ziyi, but he didn't want to see Su Ziyi's frowning.His heart tightened, and he pulled Su Ziyi's sleeve: "What's wrong?"
”Su Ziyi turned his head to look at him, shook his head, and turned back again: "Let's talk about it when we go back." ”It is indeed a good thing that Bian Qing and Su Yulang can be promoted, but he is now thinking about the sacrificial mutation in his heart, and he is really not in the mood to communicate with Bian Qing for the time being.And it's not a good place to say those things either."
Hmm."
Bian Qing understood that he was afraid that something had happened, so he put away the joy on his face and followed Su Ziyi's line of sight.After the sacrifice, there was a commotion under the altar, and the villagers were in groups of three or five, talking in a low voice, while walking out under the leadership of other old people, leaving Dr.
Li standing alone on the altar with his head upright.The old man did not take off the mask on his face, but kept a solemn expression for a long time, looking extremely lonely.Su Ziyi knew that Dr.
Li was afraid that he was uncomfortable.Although Dr.
Li's cultivation is not high, he is also a cultivator after all, and the abnormalities in the sacrificial aura can also be perceived, especially for people like him who have participated in Xie Shanyi countless times, such abnormalities are like a trace of stench mixed in the fragrance, which is too abrupt and difficult to ignore.And such a change is caused by the villagers of Luoshan Village losing their faith step by step, can Dr.
Li not feel uncomfortable?
Although he did not have any sense of belonging to Luoshan Village, at this moment, Su Ziyi inexplicably felt a kind of sadness."
Shall we go?"
At this time, except for the people who were going to keep vigil, there were few people on the entire field, and it was quite strange for their family to stand here, Bian Qing couldn't help but push Su Ziyi.Su Ziyi retracted his gaze, nodded, then took Su Yulang, who was curious, and walked in the direction of home with Bian Qing, but along the way, he kept wrinkling his face and didn't want to speak."
Father, what's wrong?"
The pace couldn't keep up with the adults, Su Yulang stumbled a little when he walked, but he didn't say anything sensible, just blinked his eyes and looked at his father with a worried face, and asked curiously.And Su Ziyi only found out that this kid couldn't keep up with his speed after he spoke, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart that he was stunned, then slowed down his pace and smiled at Su Yulang: "It's not a big deal." ”"Oh."
After seeing that his father's face had really improved, Su Yulang believed Su Ziyi's words, his eyes were shining, as if he had a super delicious big candy, and shared happily with Su Ziyi: "Father, I have already refined qi at the third level!"
”"Great!"
Su Ziyi was not stingy with praise at all, and praised him vigorously.After all, this kid's cultivation has only been more than half a year, and he has already reached the third level of qi refining, which is really remarkable, compared to his peers, it is really too much, but praise is praise, and there should be a warning: "But you can't be proud, you must continue to work hard." ”"Good!"
Su Yulang responded happily.And Bian Qing, who was walking aside, came to the two of them who were talking happily, and the worry between their eyebrows was completely dispersed.It's just that after returning home and putting Su Yulang to sleep, Bian Qing still went to the study to find Su Ziyi.When he entered, Su Ziyi was holding a volume of geography in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he woke up when he opened the door and made a "squeak" sound: "You're here." ”Seeing Bian Qing coming, Su Ziyi immediately sat up straight, put the book on the table, and wiped his face with one hand to sober himself up."
What are you thinking?
Something has not been quite right since the end of the sacrifice. ”Now, the two of them are very familiar with each other, and Bian Qing also wants to get close to Su Ziyi from the bottom of his heart, so he doesn't wait for Su Ziyi to say hello, he sits down next to Su Ziyi, as long as the other party tilts his head slightly, he can see his face clearly.I don't know if I'm already familiar with such a distance, after Su Ziyi sat down with Bian Qing leaning on him, there was nothing wrong in his heart, and he didn't even notice it at all, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Bian Qing, who looked concerned, and exhaled: "You say, what is this Xie Shanyi?"
I always think there's a secret hidden here?
”"Secret?"
Bian Qing didn't know this kind of secret in the village, so when he heard Su Ziyi say this, he was also confused: "I don't know either." ”"I don't think many people in the village know about it."
Recalling the conversation with Li Yu and the choice of the young people in the village, Su Ziyi thought that there were only a few people who knew the truth: "The village chief used to say that Xie Shanyi was to reward that immortal - but is that really the case?"
If it's just a ritual thing, why are they so persistent?
Don't hesitate to turn your face with your juniors?
”"And today's aura is a little weird.""
Weird?""
Hmm."
Su Ziyi bowed his head and tapped his fingers on the table: "You didn't cultivate last year, so I don't know, in fact, the aura I obtained at last year's sacrifice was purer than today's, at least two to three points." ”"What?!"
After cultivating for so long, Bian Qing naturally knew what the purer aura represented, and because he knew it, he couldn't help but grow his mouth in fright.At the same time, he was secretly frightened about how much aura it would take to step into the sixth layer of Qi refining."
Why is that?
What went wrong?
”"Faith."
On the way home, Su Ziyi was thinking, and now he can say this answer with certainty."
Although I don't know what Xie Shanyi is, it will definitely have something to do with the villagers' belief in it.Recently, there have been too many changes in the village, and more and more people have doubts about Xie Shanyi, which naturally affects their sincerity when the sacrifice is held, which further interferes with the sacrifice, resulting in such a problem. ”"That's ......"
Hearing Su Ziyi say this, Bian Qing was stunned in his heart.At the same time, I also remembered that before the mining in the mine, although the villagers were very poor, they were quite conscientious in the preparation of the ceremony, just to make a wish to the immortals, hoping to live a good harvest in the coming year, or perhaps because they were too sincere, Luoshan Village basically did not suffer any natural and man-made disasters.But in the same way, no one can live a prosperous life, and everyone can only be hungry and not starving.Perhaps because of this, under the stimulation of the wages of the mines, everyone's hearts are biased.They forgot that Luoshan Village was the only village in the ten miles and eight townships that had never suffered from natural and man-made disasters, and they only remembered how torn their clothes were and how hungry they were."
So, will this have any effect?"
After thinking about those, Bian Qing couldn't help but worry about the secret behind this ritual.He had now experienced the benefits of that aura, so there was reason enough to suspect that if the ritual was further broken, it would lead to even worse problems.After all, that aura couldn't have come down out of thin air.So, over the years, what kind of and unknown deal has Luoshan Village made with the secret behind Xie Shanyi?"
We'll have to ask those who know the secret."
Su Ziyi said: "The old people in the village should have experienced or heard something, so they have a great obsession with the ceremony.But there should be a few people among them who know the secrets behind it, such as the village chief, and-" Speaking of this, he narrowed his eyes: "Doctor Li." ”He remembered what Dr.
Li had said to him two days earlier by the river."
Dr.
Li......"
Bian Qing said, not expecting Dr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Li to participate in it at all."
The day before yesterday, by the river, Dr.
Li said something strange to me, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid that Dr.
Li has expected something."
Under the flickering candlelight, Su Ziyi narrated the conversation between him and Dr.
Li that day, and Bian Qing was also inexplicably nervous when he heard it."
So what are we going to do now?"
From Murakami's situation, such things will only get worse, and Xie Shanyi will also develop in a worse direction."
I'll go to Dr.
Li tomorrow to find out."
Su Ziyi was still worried about Dr.
Li reminding him that if he wanted to leave, he would leave early."
If things don't turn out to be what we expected, then we'll leave the village first, and then come back when the time is right."
When he thought of the secrets and treasures hidden in the mountains, he was unwilling to leave like this."
Okay."
Bian Qing thought about it, but after all, he couldn't come up with a better way, so he could only respond to Su Ziyi's words.It's just that the thought of leaving the village where he has been staying for almost twelve years makes him a little panicked.Su Ziyi saw that he was uneasy, and comforted softly: "Now these things are just our guesses, even if things will develop to the point of no return, there will still be a long time for us to transition, so don't be too nervous."
At this stage, the most important thing is to improve our cultivation, no matter whether we go or stay in the end, we will have more confidence. ”Oh, yes.Hearing Su Ziyi say this, Bian Qing was not so nervous in an instant, he let go of his bitten lower lip and nodded to indicate that he knew.As soon as breakfast was over on the second day, Su Ziyi packed up some freshly picked herbs, put them on his back and walked to Dr.
Li's house.And Bian Qing sent him out of the courtyard gate, stood at the courtyard gate and watched his back until he couldn't see it, and then went back to practice with a lot of concern."
I knew you would be here early this morning."
The dew had not completely dissipated, so when he arrived at Dr.
Li's house, Dr.
Li did not go to move his precious herbs, but sat in the yard and repaired his tools.When he saw Su Ziyi enter the door, he was not surprised, but sighed and said Su Ziyi's intention: "Is it for Xie Shanyi?"
”"Hmm."
Unloading the things behind him, Su Ziyi looked at Dr.
Li from behind and found that there was a lot more gray hair on the other party's head."
Hey-" Speaking of this, Dr.
Li's face, which was already wrinkled, instantly became wrinkled, he glanced at Su Ziyi, who stepped forward to help repair the medicine hoe together, and asked, "Su boy, tell me the truth, what are you cultivating now?"
”Su Ziyi paused in his hand, looked up and saw Doctor Li's serious face, his eyes drooping slightly, and after a while, he said in a muffled voice: "Nine layers of qi refining." ”"Qi refining nine-layer ......"
Listening to Su Ziyi's answer, Doctor Li had no sadness or joy on his face."
You also participated in Xie Shanyi last year, right?"
Dr.
Li began to ask himself and answered: "Yes."
So when you attend again this year, you discerning guy will immediately know the crux of the matter – I'm not wrong. ”A tired look appeared on his face: "How many years has this Xie Shanyi been, it has been passed down like this from generation to generation, and now-" Su Ziyi didn't interject, he also knew that he didn't need to say anything at this time."
Actually, I knew there would be such a day."
Throwing the things in his hand on the ground, Dr.
Li pulled down the corners of his mouth and said, there was a flash of wisdom in his eyes that saw through everything: "Luoshan Village is backed by a mountain, it is inconvenient to enter and exit, and it is not much different from being isolated from the world, so I can keep the things passed down from my ancestors in the past." ”"But now, something outside has upset the balance, and people have seen a new world, and naturally there are more ideas.One is a visible silver coin, and the other is a ritual that has been passed down for so many years and has no practical effect. ”Speaking of this, Dr.
Li's eyes were full of sadness."
Su boy—" "You say—" "Are people happier when they are ignorant, or are they happier when they know more?"
”A pair of eyes surrounded by wrinkled, shrunken and loose skin, like sharp eagle eyes, stared at Su Ziyi, as if they didn't give Su Ziyi any chance to lie at all.Being stared at by Dr.
Li like this, Su Ziyi couldn't say anything about the scene, he thought for a while, and then said without saying a word: "It depends on who it is." ”"If it is for a man who has nothing, the less he knows, the lower his desires, and naturally he will be happy because of some small things; But for some people who already have a certain amount of wisdom or resources, the more they know, the more they know where the problem is, and they will actively look for a solution to the problem, and the moment they find a solution, they will be happier for him. ”After saying this, he stopped talking, and Dr.
Li just stared at him, and after a long time, a more satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth."
I know what you're here to know.""
I can tell you something, but you have to promise me one condition."
There was a sly glint in the old man's eyes."
If it doesn't go against my bottom line."

The old man's request, Su Ziyi did not refuse, but after thinking for a while, he replied conservatively."
Of course, I'm not going to let you do anything to be a traitor.""
Then please speak."
In this case, Su Ziyi has no reason to refuse."
I know that with your qualifications, you will eventually leave Luoshan Village, so I have only one request, that is, in fifty years, I hope you will come back again - just take it as a visit to see my old bones."
When he said this, Dr.
Li's eyes were looking at the cobwebs under the eaves, which contained unsolvable sorrow.
