Chapter 227: Occasional success in a small town

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

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

Outside the town are some strange stone carvings and rockeries. The shapes of the stone carvings are all kinds of strange, including old cows with their heads lowered in the plowing, and some with bare arms.

In the village where children are raised, there are a group of children of various shapes, holding slingshots, branches, or squirrels in their hands, walking happily forward. The rockeries are also weird, big or small, tall or short, some have vines twining around them, 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 time in Luyang Town?" A gentle voice sounded from beside a stone statue lying on the ground looking up at the sky.

When Xiao Hua turned around to look, there was an old man in his sixties, with countless weathered faces, holding a dry pipe in his hand, and slowly stood up from the stone statue.

"I've met my father-in-law." Although the old man had no cultivation and looked like an ordinary farmer, Xiao Hua still bowed his hands and said, "Poor... This is my first time coming to Luyang Town."

"Oh~ Are you here to look for someone? Or are you just passing by?" The old man took a puff of dry smoke, and a thin puff of smoke came out of the old man's mouth and nose, and asked casually.

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

Then, he looked around and asked, "I wonder why there are so many stone statues and rockeries outside the town of Luyang? I have been to some towns and none have such arrangements."

"Hey, young man, I don't think you're very old by the sound of your voice. You've traveled a lot and visited quite a few places." The old man said with a smile: "Then... what do you think of these stone sculptures? They give you an impression of Lu Yang. how?"

"These stone carvings are lifelike, recording many of the world's various phenomena. You may not feel anything at ordinary glances, but if you look at it carefully, they really have profound meanings." Xiao Hua thought for a moment and said, "It's like being in the ordinary world." It reflects all the joys, sorrows and joys of the farm, and displays all the life, old age, sickness and death of people."

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

asked in a low voice. starter

"Old man, I am indeed here to look for the Cai family. I wonder how I can tell?" Xiao Hua asked curiously.

"Can you tell? Haha, young man, look at the old man's eyes. How can he see anything?" the old man said with a smile.

Xiao Hua took a closer look, and sure enough, although the old man's eyes were open, they were really dull, with no expression at all, not even a trace of movement. This old man turned out to be blind.

"I'm so smart that I can hear clues from Pindao's voice. I really admire Pindao," Xiao Hua praised with a smile.

"It's nothing. When people see the stone statues carved by the old man, they are probably struck by the strangeness on the surface. Who can see the connotation behind these appearances? Only high-level people like the immortal can truly understand the inner meaning. Something”

"These were all carved by my father-in-law?" Xiao Hua asked incredulously.

"Well, that's right. I remember that the old man suffered a disaster when he was forty-two years old. He lost his sight and couldn't do anything. He was extremely decadent, but the people in the town were extremely kind and helped him in every way. Let the old man have hope of living." The old man looked up and looked into the distance, his emotionless eyes seemed to have sparkle: "The old man was a stonemason, and he had nothing to repay the people in the town, so he spent more than twenty years on it. , slowly carved these things.”

"More than twenty years?" Xiao Hua took a breath after hearing this and said in surprise: "You still can't see, how do you always accomplish these..."

"Haha, there is nothing else, but I just insist." The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "The Immortal is a person who cultivates immortality, how can he ask such a question? What the old man made is just some stones, the Immortal is against the sky. OK, isn’t the way to pursue longevity just about persistence?”

Although these words were said simply, in Xiao Hua's ears, it was like an enlightenment. Since he entered the middle stage of the fourth level of Qi Refining, his progress was a bit slow. Unconsciously, he became anxious and wanted to find another way. How to improve your cultivation. After listening to the old man's words, I suddenly realized that although my cultivation was growing slowly, but... after all, it was still growing. I don't know how many times better than before when I was in Shang Huaming, which didn't grow at all. Even compared to Cai Zhuoxia. , I don’t know how much happier I am now that I already have elixirs, top-grade spiritual stones, and complete Qi refining techniques. As long as I persist in practicing, why can’t I reach the peak of Qi refining?

A blind old man can complete what is considered a difficult task for a monk in twenty years. Why can't he complete Qi refining in twenty years?

In fact, Xiao Hua already felt that joining the Fu family... was not a good choice.

"Thank you, old man, for reminding me that I have benefited a lot." Xiao Hua bowed to the ground, flicked his hand, took out a top-quality Wuhu Pill, handed it over, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law's words are the most reasonable words, let me. I suddenly realized that this is the elixir "Yào" treasured by the poor Taoist. If my father-in-law has any physical problems, he can take it. It may have some strange effects."

The old man was surprised and waved his hand quickly: "I'm just looking for someone to chat with. I have said this to almost everyone who comes here. The immortal is not the first. This kind of elixir, I have experienced it." Ashamed, I can’t have it, I can’t have it.”

"Grandpa..." At this moment, a childish, crisp voice sounded, and from behind the stone carving in the distance, a child of about seven or eight years old came out. He's not very tall, but his eyes are dark and beautiful. From a distance, he shouted: "Grandpa is living in poverty again?"

"Haha, Mei'er, where can I find it? This is the immortal who is here to see the Cai family's gods. Why don't you come and pay your respects?" The old man rushed towards the girl with a kind smile on his face, and then said to Xiao Hua He said: "This is the orphan I picked up a few years ago and I have been keeping him by my side."

"Mei'er, I've seen Brother Xian Chang." Mei'er jumped up to the old man, first pulled the old man's sleeves, and then looked at Xiao Hua. Her eyes glanced at Xiao Hua's young face for a few times before she became curious. cried.

"The Immortal Chief is the Immortal Chief, so what kind of brother is he?" the old man said strangely.

"That's right, this fairy looks like a brother. He looks younger than the fairy sisters of the Cai family. If Meier doesn't call her brother, what else can she call her?" Although Meier was a little shy, she still argued.

"Don't blame the immortal, Mei'er has never seen much of the world," the old man said with a smile.

"Look at what I said, Mei'er is right. What's so strange?" Xiao Hua said with a smile.

"As long as the immortal doesn't blame you." The old man nodded: "It's rare for the immortal to talk to me so much. Mei'er, this immortal wants to go to the Cai family. Please take the immortal there."

"Me?" Mei'er was stunned and said: "The fairy's house is far away from here. Mei'er only went there with the fairy's sister's girl. Going by herself...but that's not possible."

The old man reached out and took out a few copper coins from his sleeves and said, "Look for a donkey cart or something like that and let them take you there."

"Then I'd better go by myself, grandpa, this money is for tomorrow's meal..." Meier said carefully.

Xiao Hua heard this and smiled and said: "My father-in-law, please be patient. Pindao asked Meier to lead the way. Of course Pindao paid for the car."

"Hmm~" The old man felt that his thoughts were seen through by Xiao Hua, and he was a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Mei'er, listen to the instructions of the Immortal, and serve the Immortal well."

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

"Old man, let's say goodbye. I'm leaving." Xiao Hua bowed and saluted, and followed Mei'er to the town.

"Have a good go, Immortal," the old man whispered, looking at the direction Xiao Hua was walking with his dull eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"Are you...are you really an immortal?" Mei'er walked in front for a while, and when she saw that she was about to enter the town, she couldn't help but turn around and asked.

"Don't you look like a poor Taoist?" Xiao Hua raised his nose and looked down at the Taoist robe he was wearing.

"The clothes look a bit similar, but... although Sister Fairy is as young and approachable as you, Sister Fairy never salutes Grandpa. Well, everyone in the town always salutes Sister Fairy."

"Really?" Xiao Hua secretly laughed. He really didn't know why Mei'er observed in such detail: "Maybe everyone is different. I thought your grandpa was great, so he gave me the gift."

"That's right, grandpa is really amazing. Think about it, he carved so many stone sculptures by himself. How many of them can there be in the world?" Meier tǐng her little breasts, as if there are some in them too. Her contribution.

"Pfft" Xiao Hua smiled, looked at the nv child who linked "Man Tianxia" to Lu Yang's size and said, "How far away is the Cai family where Sister Fairy lives from here?"

"Meier came over in a donkey cart, I'm afraid 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 fly you there?"

"Okay, could it be...are you really an immortal?" Mei'er's words almost made Xiao Hua dumbfounded. It turned out that at this moment, she still suspected that she was a liar.

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

"I'm not afraid." Meier gritted her teeth, seemingly refusing to admit defeat.

"Okay" Xiao Hua praised and flew up into the air. At this time, many people in the town stood respectfully and looked at him with envy.
