Two questions and answers.

The answer became more concise.

Qi Wuhuo then stood up, raised his hands and pointed his fingers together, bowed and said:

"Please teach me, old man."

The old man accepted his greeting, raised his hand to help him up, and said with a smile:

"It seems that this dream is quite good for you, so I will accept your gift."

"But I can't teach you what you want."

"The great way of longevity has to be sought, it has to be searched for. It is not like a teacher in the human world teaching a student. You can give it to him if you want it. It is not like a book. If you take the book and read it, you will know it."

"Our destiny is not here"

Afterwards, he refused to talk about these things no matter what. Qi Wuhuo was not the kind of person who would push for more or force questions, so he did not continue.

After the old man finished his meal, he went to the yard to make some tea.

Qi Wuhuo closed his eyes and recalled the experience in his dream.

The specific experiences in a certain year and month have long faded away and been forgotten, but the self-understanding after a few major events still remains. In the dream, there were conflicts among countries and the tyranny of the monsters, but when I think back carefully, there seems to be no way of cultivation in the human world in the dream. It seems unreasonable. How can mortals conquer monsters?

It seems that it is just a dream after all. The world in the dream may be related to the world I think of. Qi Wuhuo has seen demons that are the incarnation of wild beasts, so the demon country still exists. Qi Wuhuo knows that there are imperial examination books, so it exists, but he did not believe in the existence of immortals and Taoist magic at that time, so this section in the dream was particularly vague.

But why is that mountain god Qiong Yu?

Qi Wuhuo didn't know.

How are dreams related to the present world?

Qi Wuhuo didn't know either.

Just sit quietly with your eyes closed, your mind peaceful and your breath long.

It was as if I could sense the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest, as if I could sense the sound of the snowflakes slowly melting outside, as if I could hear the eight-hundred-mile wind sweeping across the mountain paths outside the town, as if I could see the demon country and the tragedy of the world that I had seen in my childhood, and I saw the mess that I had experienced over the past seventy years, and how in the end, I was just a pawn and had not been able to really accomplish anything.

However, if one way is blocked, there are other ways.

Slowly, Qi Wuhuo's brows relaxed and his expression became calm.

A spiritual light naturally grows from between the eyebrows.

The old man was making tea. He looked up and nodded slightly:

"He has cultivated his spirit for about fifty years. Now he can operate on his own. It seems that even if he doesn't meet me, with his understanding, he will be able to get in touch with cultivation."

"However, among the three elements of spirit, energy and soul, one is strong and the other two are weak."

"Although I have the heart to pursue the Tao, there are hidden dangers, which is not a good thing."

"Inadvertently, he was seduced away by the City God and became a ghost."

"In that case, I should give him one more chance before leaving..."

The old man traveled around the world, enlightening people. Qi Wuhuo was able to break through his worldly desires in a big dream. He was already satisfied and would no longer do things that would force things to happen. His fate had ended here, and he was supposed to leave.

But he didn't expect that Qi Wuhuo's performance was better than he expected.

Whatever you do in your dreams is what you really feel.

The good will remain good, and the evil will not change. It is a way to see one's nature and realize one's whole life. After obtaining the skills from the goddess, Qi Wuhuo's fifty years of spiritual cultivation are not much different from fifty years of real hard practice.

However, it takes an ordinary person fifty years to cultivate his spirit.

It all came true in a dream.

No wonder the pillow shattered into pieces.

The old man nodded.

…

Qi Wuhuo sat calmly, and unknowingly entered a state that was neither dream nor reality. His consciousness seemed to be elevated, and he "saw" the surroundings of his home, "saw" the passers-by, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and suddenly he "saw" what seemed to be a carriage stopped outside the alley.

Then a man got off the carriage and headed towards his home.

Although there was at least five hundred steps between them, Qi Wuhuo could see the man's appearance at a glance.

"Is that a chestnut jade?"

Li Puyu is a disciple of Mr. Su.

The Li family was the largest family in the city. They suddenly came here several years ago. With a huge fortune, they quickly acquired a large business and sent their children to study under famous scholars. They were protected by martial arts masters whenever they went out, and looked like powerful local tyrants.

Although Qi Wuhuo had never had any interaction with them.

But after all, the other party was Mr. Su's disciple, and it seemed that he came directly to see him. He could not be rude, so he planned to open the door. His mind moved, and he suddenly felt like falling, as if he was in a dream, and then he wanted to stand up. His body reacted naturally.

…

Li Puyu walked forward, one step deep and one step shallow, on the dirty snow.

"hateful……"

“It’s really hard to walk.”

This is the edge of the town, with a large population. People come and go, and the dust on the dirt road can never be swept clean. The melted snow mixes with the mud and turns black, and the black snow and ice mix together. Not only is it dirty, it is also very difficult to walk on.

Li Puyu looked at the dirty black snow on the uppers of his shoes and his eyes kept twitching.

These boots were custom-made at Tianzhifang in Fucheng.

The current price of goods is that ten catties of flour cost ten cents of silver.

In winter, seven small carts of coal and soil only cost two cents and one cent of silver.

And this pair of boots alone cost three taels of silver.

It is equivalent to a granary keeper’s annual salary!

At this time, I was very envious of the martial arts expert hired by the family next door. He could step on the dirty snow without getting crushed, and his shoes and clothes were still clean.

"call……"

Li Puyu retracted his gaze, exhaled, and suppressed the irritation in his heart.

He looked up at the dilapidated house a few hundred meters away.

My second uncle returned from his business trip to the capital today, and there will be a big banquet at home in a few days. However, my father wanted to invite this poor man who couldn't even step into the teacher's door; not only did he want to invite him, but he also wanted to come and visit him in person.

What is my identity? What is the identity of this poor boy in front of me?

If you just call any servant, this poor boy will probably be very respectful to him.

Want to come in person?

But his father had great power at home, and Li Puyu dared not disobey. Even though he was unhappy, he still came over obediently. The distance of five hundred steps was more difficult than the five miles on the road. Finally, he stood still with great difficulty, exhaled, and some sweat appeared on his forehead.

He patted his face to put on a friendly smile.

One hand was raised to knock on the door, while the other hand was pulling the hanging sleeve of this hand.

The finger hasn't fallen yet.

With a creaking sound, the wooden door opened inwards, as if the visitor had foreseen the coming. Li Puyu's fingers just happened to slide against the door, and the flowers and trees in the yard swayed in the wind. The petals mixed with white snow fell on the shoulders of the young man who opened the door. He was wearing a simple cloth robe, with neat black hair, and his eyes were calm and dark like stars. He looked at Li Puyu quietly.

Waiting for guests for a long time.

Li Puyu was stunned.

It took me a while to come back to my senses.

This, is this Qi Wuhuo?

At that moment, he seemed to see Master Su, as if he had walked into the capital city when he was young and saw the peace and tranquility of the towering city. For a moment, he even felt a little timid, and even his body seemed to be stiff.

"Brother Li, what brings you here?"

Qi Wuhuo spoke.

Li Puyu just realized what he was about to do. He instinctively raised his hand, then paused, and subconsciously bowed his hands, stammering, "Brother Qi, yes, my father asked me to invite you to have a simple meal at my home."

"It's just, it's just like that."

"My uncle has returned from the capital, and we can talk about the capital's customs."

Qi Wuhuo was originally going to decline politely, but when he heard this, he paused for a moment, thinking of the capital city he had seen in his dream. He didn't know whether it was real or not, so he could ask about it. He paused for a second and replied:

"… Well, excuse me for interrupting you then."

Li Puyu breathed a sigh of relief:

"Ah, no bother, no bother, not at all."

"Instead, I am the one who came to find you. I am really sorry to trouble you, Senior Brother Qi."

Qi Wuhuo stepped aside and said, "Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

"No, no, I have other things to do."

"I won't bother you today, brother."

"Brother, please don't send me off again."

"Brother, please stay."

"Goodbye, Senior Brother!"

Li Puyu could hardly bear the inexplicable feeling of oppression and fled in panic. When Qi Wuhuo was still somewhat puzzled, his steps suddenly staggered, and he felt dizzy and almost fell down.

It was just that a gust of wind entangled him, caught him, and then spun back and placed Qi Wuhuo in front of the stone table. The old man who made tea shook his head and said, "You have good aptitude and better understanding, but you are too reckless to release your [God]."

Qi Wuhuo felt a sharp pain on his forehead and asked in confusion: "God?"

The old man pointed at his forehead and said simply and directly: "You just released your spirit, which covered the surrounding area for several miles. This is accumulated from the dream, but your body is still weak and cannot sustain such consumption."

“Everything is a little bit of true spirit.”

"One becomes two, which are yin and yang, nature and destiny."

"Nature is the heart and the spirit; life is the breath, blood and flesh."

"Wherever the great Dao is, one must cultivate both the nature and life."

"You are now strong in spirit but weak in body. Although you may have some abilities that surpass those of ordinary people, I still have something to say to you."

"If life doesn't exist, where will nature exist?!"

"Only if your body is strong enough can it support your mind. Otherwise, your mind may be too strong and drag down your body, killing you."

"This is what people in the world call 'God is jealous of talented people'. It is also the reason why people say that deep love will lead to a short life and extreme wisdom will lead to harm. You need to solve this problem, otherwise you will inevitably die young."

The old man frowned and looked at Qi Wuhuo, then shook his head and laughed:

"Forget it. I just said I can't teach you."

"Now I'm only teaching you one move, so it doesn't count as breaking my promise."

"It's not a broken promise."

"come over."
