Chapter 227 Small Town Occasionally

"Is this the place where Cai Zhuoxia grew up?" Xiao Hua has a good impression of Cai Zhuoxia, a "female" cultivator who has both perseverance and humiliation. Looking at this small town with beautiful mountains and clear waters, he feels a little sympathy curious.

Falling from mid-air, Xiao Hua walked on a rather wide road, walking slowly towards the small town.

Outside the town are some strange stone carvings and rockery. The shapes of the stone carvings are all kinds of strange. There are old cows working with their heads down, and village women feeding children with their breasts exposed. There are also a group of various shapes. Such a child, either holding a slingshot, or holding a branch, or a little squirrel, walked forward happily. The rockery is also weird, big or small, tall or short, some are entwined with vines, and some have gurgling water.

Before entering the town, Xiao Hua was attracted by these things he had never seen before.

"Young man... is this your first visit to Luyang Town?" A gentle voice sounded from a stone statue lying on the ground looking up at the sky.

When Xiao Hua turned his head to look, there was an old man about sixty years old, with countless winds and frosts on his face, holding a dry pipe in his hand, and slowly stood up from the side of the stone statue.

"I've seen the old man..." The old man certainly doesn't have much cultivation, and looks like an ordinary farmer, but Xiao Hua still bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Poor... this is the first time I have come to Luyang Town."

"Oh~ Are you looking for someone? Or are you just passing by?" The old man took a puff of tobacco, and a faint puff of smoke came out of the old man's mouth and nose, asking casually.

Xiao Hua smiled and said: "It's both looking for people and passing by"

Then, he glanced around and asked, "I don't know why there are so many stone statues and rockeries outside the town of Luyang. I've been to some towns, but there are no such arrangements."

"Hey, young man, I'm not very old by the sound of the voice, and I've traveled a lot, and I've been to a lot of places." The old man said with a smile, "Then... what do you think of these stone carvings? It gives you a good impression of Lu Yang." how?"

"These stone carvings are lifelike, and they record many of the world's various states. It may not feel like a normal glance, but if you look carefully, it really has a deep meaning." Xiao Hua thought for a while, and said: "It's like being in the ordinary place, reflecting the joys, anger, sorrows and joys of the farm, and displaying people's life, old age, sickness and death."

"Ah? Young man...you...are you looking for the Cai family in Luyang?" The old man was startled,

asked in a low voice.

"Old man, I am indeed here to look for the Cai family. I don't know how the old man can tell?" Xiao Hua wondered.

"Can you see it? Hehe, young man, you should look at the old man's eyes, how can the old man see things?" the old man still said with a smile.

Xiao Hua took a closer look, and sure enough, although the old man's eyes were open, his eyes were really dull, without any expression at all, not even a slight movement, the old man was actually blind

"Old man is so insightful, he can hear the clues from the voice of the poor Taoist, which really admires the poor Taoist" Xiao Hua praised with a smile.

"It's nothing. Ordinary people see the stone statues carved by the old man. Could it be that they are touched by the strangeness of the surface, and who will see the connotation behind these appearances? Only a high-level person like Xianchang can truly appreciate the inner meaning." something"

"These are all carved by the old man?" Xiao Hua asked incredulously.

"Well, that's right. I remember that when I was forty-two, I suffered a catastrophe. I lost my eyesight and couldn't do anything. I was extremely decadent, but the people in the town were very kind and helped me everywhere. Let the old man have the hope of living." The old man looked up into the distance, and there seemed to be a light in his emotionless eyes: "The old man is a stonemason, and he has nothing to repay the people in the town. It took more than twenty years. , slowly carved these things"

"More than twenty years?" Xiao Hua took a breath when he heard it, and said in surprise: "You still can't see it, these... how do you always do it?"

"Hehe, there is no such thing, but stick to your ears." The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "The Immortal Elder is a cultivator of immortality, how could he ask such a thing? What the old man made are nothing more than some stones, and the Immortal Elder is a god-defying Okay, isn't the pursuit of the way of longevity just the word persistence?"

Although these words are simple to say, in Xiao Hua's ears, it is really like enlightenment. Since he entered the middle stage of the fourth level of Qi Refining, his progress has been a bit slow, and he felt anxious and wanted to find another What is the way to improve cultivation. At this time, after listening to the old man's words, I suddenly realized that although my cultivation was growing slowly, but...after all, I was still growing, and it was many times better than before at Shang Huaming who didn't grow at all, even compared to Cai Zhuoxia. , I don’t know how many times happier I already have the elixir, the top-quality spirit stone, and the complete exercises of the qi refining period. As long as I persist in practicing, why can’t I reach the peak of qi refining?

A blind old man can complete 20 years to complete the difficult task in the eyes of a monk, why can't I complete the cultivation of qi in 20 years?

Even, Xiao Hua already felt that it was not a good choice for him to join the Fu family...

"Thank you, old man, for reminding the poor Taoist that it has benefited a lot." Xiao Hua bowed to the ground, flicked his hand, and took out a top-grade Wuyi pill, handed it over, and said with a smile: "The old man's words are the most reasonable words, let the poor Taoist Sudden enlightenment, this is the elixir treasured by Pindao, if there is something wrong with the old man's body, he can take it, and it may have some strange effects."

The old man was amazed, and quickly waved his hands: "This old man is just looking for someone to chat with. I have said this to almost everyone who comes here. The immortal is not the first one. This kind of elixir, the old man has received it." Shame, can’t, can’t”

"Grandpa..." At this moment, a childish and crisp voice sounded, and from behind the stone carving in the distance, came a girl about seven or eight years old. It's not very tall, but the eyes are dark and beautiful. From a long distance, he shouted: "Grandpa is blind and poor with others again?"

"Hehe, Mei'er, where is it? This is the elder who is here to find the immortals of the Cai family, come and pay a visit soon." The old man rushed to the "girl" child with a very kind smile on his face, and then turned to Xiao Hua Said: "This is an orphan picked up by the old man a few years ago, and has been kept by his side."

"Mei'er, I've seen Brother Xianchang" Mei'er bounced up and ran to the old man, first grabbed the old man's sleeve, and then looked at Xiao Hua, his eyes looked at Xiao Hua's young face a few times before he was curious shouted.

"Immortal Elder is Immortal Elder, what kind of elder brother?" the old man said strangely.

"That's right, this fairy looks like a big brother, and looks younger than the fairy sisters of the Cai family. Mei'er is not called a big brother, what else is she called?" Mei'er was a little shy, but she still argued.

"Don't blame the fairy, Mei'er has never seen anything in the world," the old man said with a smile.

"Look at what the old man said, Mei'er is right, what's so strange?" Xiao Hua said with a grin.

"It's good that the fairy head doesn't blame me." The old man nodded: "It's rare that the fairy head talked so much with the old man, Meier, this fairy head is going to find the Cai family, you can take the fairy head there."

"Me?" Meier was taken aback, and said, "The Immortal's house is far away from here. Meier only went there with Fairy's elder sister's girl, and went by herself...but it's not possible."

The old man reached out his sleeve and took out a few copper coins, and said, "You can find a donkey cart or something, and let them take you there."

"Then I'll go by myself, grandpa, this money is for tomorrow's meal..." Mei Er said carefully.

Xiao Hua laughed and said: "Old man is relieved, the poor way let Mei Er lead the way, the money for this car is naturally out of the poor way"

"Hmm~" The old man felt that Xiao Hua had seen through his thoughts, and he was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Mei'er, listen to the immortal elder's order, and serve the immortal elder well."

"Yes, Grandpa, don't worry, elder brother Xianchang, let's go this way." Mei'er didn't understand what the old man meant, but she still agreed obediently.

"Old man, just leave now, the poor way is gone" Xiao Hua bowed and saluted, and followed Mei Er to the town.

"Alright Immortal Elder," the old man said in a low voice, looking at the direction Xiao Hua was walking with dull eyes, not knowing what to think.

"You... are you really the fairy elder?" Mei'er walked ahead for a while, seeing that she was about to enter the town, she couldn't help but turned her head and asked.

"Isn't it like a poor Taoist?" Xiao Hua touched his nose, and looked down at his Taoist robe.

"It looks a bit like the clothes, but... Sister Fairy is as young and amiable as you, but Sister Fairy never salutes Grandpa. Well, everyone in the town salutes Sister Fairy."

"Really?" Xiao Hua laughed secretly, I really don't know why Mei'er observed in such detail: "Maybe everyone is different, right?"

"That's right, grandpa is really amazing. Thinking about how many stone sculptures are carved by him alone, how many are there in the world?" Meier straightened her small chest, as if there were some To her credit.

"Pfft..." Xiao Hua smiled, looked at this girl who connected "Man Tianxia" with Lu Yang's size and said: "How far is the Cai family where Sister Fairy lives from here?"

"Meier went there in a donkey cart, maybe it took an hour." Meier frowned and thought for a while before replying.

"In which direction?"

When Mei Er pointed in the direction, Xiao Hua stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Mei Er, how about I take you flying there?"

"Okay, could it be... Are you really a fairy?" Mei'er's words almost made Xiao Hua dumbfounded, so at this time, she still suspected that she was a liar

Stretching out his hand, Xiao Hua grabbed Mei'er's arm, and said: "Fly, if you are afraid, just close your eyes"

"I'm not afraid." Mei'er gritted her teeth, as if unwilling to admit defeat.

"Okay" Xiao Hua praised, and flew into the air. At this time, many people in the town saw it, and they all stood respectfully, looking at it with envy.
