Chapter 129: Mortal Life is Like Cultivation
"Mrs. Zhang from the village is going to matchmake for me!"
Qingquan grinned happily.
Qingquan is very handsome. Although he doesn't understand the ways of the mortal world, he is quite capable of dealing with people.
After arriving in Sanxi Village, Qingquan enthusiastically helped others with their work and got along well with many people in the village.
The villagers are simple and honest. They are the type that says, "If you are nice to me, I will certainly not treat you badly."
After learning that Qingquan was still unmarried, he began to plan for Qingquan to find a wife.
Qingquan was of course happy to do so. At least this was much simpler than trying to get to know a woman on his own.
"That's good."
Ning Ruoxi did not choose to live in Qingquan's home. She went to live in the Buddhist temple in Sanxi Village.
Almost every larger village in the Western Regions has a Buddhist temple for worshiping Buddha.
There are also monks in the Buddhist hall. These monks know Ning Ruoxi. Shi Kong had told them about it before, so they can also allow Ning Ruoxi to live in the Buddhist hall.
"Is returning to nature a change in one's state of mind?" Ning Ruoxi didn't think that returning to nature would be a change in one's cultivation.
Does it mean that I have to disperse all my cultivation and rebuild to the fusion stage before I can break through? Obviously it is impossible.
If you really do this, you will probably become a laughing stock in the world of immortal cultivation.
Then returning to simplicity refers to returning to simplicity in the state of mind.
"State of mind..." Ning Ruoxi's state of mind has always been very peaceful. She can only understand it literally for the time being, "Returning to nature means returning to being a mortal."
"Everything from the ordinary?"
In the next few days, Ning Ruoxi followed the ordinary lifestyle of working from sunrise to sunset.
Even at night, Ning Ruoxi tried to sleep instead of resting through meditation.
The crowing of roosters in the early morning broke the tranquility of the village. When the first ray of sunlight shone into the house through the window, the villagers who had to do early work got up one after another.
There is no tiredness on their faces, but smiles of welcoming a new life.
Ning Ruoxi walked to the village entrance, and many villagers passing by greeted her. Although they didn't know each other, as long as they were in the village, the villagers would smile and say, "Good morning!"
Ning Ruoxi had never experienced this kind of life.
"Whose girl is this? She is so beautiful?" Some villagers were amazed by Ning Ruoxi's appearance.
“I don’t know, but this girl has been living in the Buddhist temple these days.”
"The girl lives in the temple? Could she be a nun who wants to become a nun and come to our temple to worship Buddha?"
The monks in the Buddhist temples are assigned here by the Buddhist sect. They are similar to the outer disciples of a sect. As long as you stay in these Buddhist temples for enough time, you can become an inner disciple of Buddhism.
Being in the Buddhist temple is a test to see whether you are determined enough to enter Buddhism.
Some people cannot stand the boredom of Buddhism, the complicated daily rituals of worshiping Buddha, etc., so they give up joining Buddhism.
This Buddhist temple can help screen out a large number of people from Buddhism and make them give up when they realize the difficulty. Not everyone is suitable for practicing Buddhism.
"Girl, have you had breakfast?" When Ning Ruoxi passed by a house, an old lady stopped her.
Ning Ruoxi shook her head.
Seeing this, the old lady didn't wait for Ning Ruoxi to refuse, and directly pulled Ning Ruoxi into the yard and sat down, "Miss, if you haven't had breakfast yet, let's eat together!"
The old lady was very enthusiastic and said ten sentences, but Ning Ruoxi couldn't even get a word in.
Ning Ruoxi used her telepathy to sense that the old lady had no ill will towards her.
"Girl, what's your name?"
"Ning Ruoxi!"
"My last name is Liu, you can just call me Aunt Liu."
Ning Ruoxi uttered a light "hmm" and said nothing more.
Aunt Liu also noticed that Ning Ruoxi had a rather cold personality and could be considered "introverted" and not talkative.
"Ruoxi! You are not from our village, right?"
"no."
Aunt Liu was actually the person called by the village chief to inquire about Ning Ruoxi's news. There was a stranger in the village for no reason, and the villagers had to find out who Ning Ruoxi was and what she was doing in Sanxi Village.
If Ning Ruoxi encounters any difficulties, Sanxi Village can also provide some help.
"Then you live in the Buddhist temple every day, do you want to become a monk?"
Ning Ruoxi replied: "No, I live in the Buddhist temple because I have no place to live. There are extra rooms in the Buddhist temple."
"My family has fallen on hard times, and I want to come to Sanxi Village to start a new life."
The following words were thought up by Lin Shuang for Ning Ruoxi, otherwise it would be Ning Ruoxi's own thoughts, which is to answer whatever is asked. Ning Ruoxi and Aunt Liu chatted about nonsense for who knows how long.
"So that's how it is!" Aunt Liu looked at Ning Ruoxi with a hint of sympathy, "Seeing that you are dressed well, you must be from a wealthy family. If you live in poverty, can you get used to it?"
"I can get used to it."
"Then how about you stay at my house temporarily? It's not appropriate for a woman like you to live in a Buddhist temple. Although the villagers have no ill will towards you, they will talk about this matter, and it would not be good if it ruins your reputation." Aunt Liu really wanted to help Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi agreed, or rather, it was Lin Shuang who agreed.
Aunt Liu happily grabbed Ning Ruoxi's hand. Ning Ruoxi's hand was very cold. "Oh, why are your hands so cold? Are you sick?"
"No, I've always been like this."
"That's strange, how can your hands be so cold..." Aunt Liu rubbed her hands, which made Ning Ruoxi's hands warmer.
Ning Ruoxi saw that Aunt Liu had a lot of calluses on her hands, which meant she must have done a lot of farm work on a daily basis.
"Eat breakfast first. I'll go and help you clean up the house. You can stay at my house tonight."
Aunt Liu walked into the east room and started busying herself.
Ning Ruoxi looked at the rice porridge on the wooden table. There were some vegetables in it and two eggs on the side.
This kind of breakfast is considered a delicacy for ordinary mortals. Ning Ruoxi did not dislike it. She tasted a mouthful of rice porridge and found it very light.
The rice porridge entered my stomach like a warm current.
This feeling is somewhat similar to absorbing spiritual energy into the Dantian.
"Master, mortal life is also like cultivation..."
Lin Shuang did not respond. She was a little shocked. She did not expect Ning Ruoxi to figure out this truth so quickly.
How many days have you been in the mortal realm?
Ning Ruoxi's comprehension is really strong. In Lin Shuang's eyes, even the geniuses in the fairy world cannot compare to Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi drank a bowl of porridge and did not touch the eggs on the table. Sanxi Village was not a particularly wealthy village.
The living standard of each household is just enough to have enough food to eat.
Every family is reluctant to eat eggs, except during festivals, otherwise they will sell the eggs for money.
Ning Ruoxi waited until Aunt Liu had tidied the room, and then Aunt Liu came out and asked Ning Ruoxi to go in and take a look.
The house is not big and everything inside is very old, but it is very tidy.
"Thank you, Aunt Liu!"
