Chapter 56 Rendao

For the next period of time, Li Weiyi only practiced the "Taiyi Kaihai" move every day, looking for the heroic momentum that seemed to be able to split the sea with one sword when fighting Yao Zhengsheng.

Master Guan said that this was the "harmony of heaven's way and law".

Li Weiyi practiced hundreds of sword exercises every day.

He used all his strength in every strike, and only stopped when his physical strength and magic power were exhausted to the extreme. He tried again and again, gaining insights bit by bit.

After several thousand strikes, he still couldn't get the Heavenly Dao Law to work as he wished. But in the following days, he finally managed to get one or two strikes to work in harmony with it every day.

"It's no use just practicing like this. You have to fight, hone yourself, and have life-and-death battles with masters. Otherwise, it will take you years to succeed." These are Master Guan's original words.

When Master Guan said this, he felt mixed emotions.

Because, when his master said the same thing, he later said, "Otherwise, you will have to spend decades to succeed." After all, who could believe that Li Weiyi could actively capture the mystery of the state of Dharma after practicing for only half a month, but the success rate was still very low.

In the morning and evening, when day and night alternate, Li Weiyi, Cai Yutong and Qin Ke follow the spiritual predecessors to practice spiritual power and perceive spiritual light.

At the same time, every one or two days, Li Weiyi would take Zhao Zhizhuo to the inn to ask the senior master for help in reshaping the spring.

…

…………

Time flies. Twenty-two days have passed since the attack on Shenlong Street.

Zhao Zhizhuo, wearing a bamboo hat, walked out of the inn. Seeing Li Weiyi waiting under the shade of a tree across the street, he quickly walked across the street.

"How is it? Was the Eighth Spring rebuilt successfully?" Li Weiyi asked with a smile.

Zhao Zhizhuo pulled Li Weiyi along the river until they reached a secluded place, then he took off his hat, revealing a ruddy, energetic face with unsuppressible excitement in his eyes.

He clasped his hands together and bowed down.

Li Weiyi said, "Don't play tricks on me! Since the Eight Springs have been reshaped and returned to their peak, remember to pay me back for the spring fluid. There are ninety-three drops in total, ninety-three thousand silver coins. I'll give you the change, so it'll be ninety thousand."

"The spring is still spring, but the senior was willing to help me reshape the spring because of Brother Li's kindness. I'm afraid I'll never be able to repay his kindness in my lifetime."

Zhao Zhizhuo bowed stubbornly, then said, "Don't round off the decimal point. I'll make it a whole 100,000 silver coins. I'll write you an IOU!"

"One hundred thousand, but you said it. I won't be polite with you!" Li Weiyi said.

Zhao Zhizhuo was in a very good mood and said with a smile: "Haha, don't be polite. With my current cultivation level, it shouldn't take me more than a few years to earn 100,000 silver coins."

After looking at each other and laughing.

Li Weiyi asked Zhao Zhizhuo to wait here for a while, claiming that he was going to say goodbye to his predecessor. He returned to the inn briefly to put the sarcophagus into the evil camel bell, and the two of them rushed towards the city gate.

The excitement in Zhao Zhizhuo's body gradually faded, and he said seriously: "One month is almost up, what do you think, Brother Li? In fact, entering the Taoist temple is really a very good way. Almost all the masters of the Jiuli tribe have practiced there for a period of time."

Half a month ago, the young clan leader Cangli went to Li Weiyi's house and told them that they didn't need to worry about their safety for a month. At the same time, he invited him, Cai Yutong, and Zhao Meng to join the Cangli clan school, or compete for a place in Jiuli Taoist Academy.

Li Weiyi had already made up his mind: "Don't worry, I will go to the clan school in person in the next few days to meet and thank Senior Jia Shou, and I will make a decision then. By the way, I heard that repairing the Qi Sea is much more difficult than reshaping the spring, and it seems that blood crystals are needed."

Zhao Zhizhuo didn't dare to think about returning to the Five Seas Realm. He was already very satisfied with his Eight Springs cultivation, so he was extremely relaxed and talked freely: "The five seas in the Five Seas Realm refer to the five lung lobes in the human body. To open up a Qi Sea, you have to use your magic power to repeatedly cleanse a lung lobe, so that after reaching the critical point, the inner world ocean will be born."

"Back then, all five of my lungs were pierced, and the five inner world oceans all dried up and shrank. The blood crystal you mentioned can only repair the lungs. If you want to prop up the inner world oceans again, you either have to take the Five Seas Pill and try your luck, or only the legendary space magic weapon can do it."

Li Weiyi was not sure whether the evil camel bell could be considered a space magic weapon, so he could only listen to Zhao Zhizhuo continue talking.

"Five Sea Pills are too difficult to obtain now. There is a serious shortage of them even within the Cangli tribe. Each pill is obtained by exchanging a large number of alien coffins. In my case, the chances are slim, and it would probably be a waste if I eat it."

"I am already very satisfied to be able to recover to the Eight Springs, so I won't make things difficult for the young clan leader and clan leader."

"I can only do this, but it's different for you, brother Li. If you marry the fourth young lady, you will definitely have a bright future. I, Old Zhao, have the cultivation level of Baquan. I should be qualified to guard your gate and drive your car, right?"

Li Weiyi smiled and said, "If I don't marry her, will my future be bleak?"

Zhao Zhizhuo just made a joke and didn't mention the matter again: "Should we go find Yao Zhengsheng, capture him, and bring him to see the young clan leader or the chief?"

Obviously after the restoration of the Eight Springs, Zhao Zhizhe's confidence was also restored a lot.

Li Weiyi put away his smile: "Yao Zhengsheng is just a knife. Can we defeat Yang Yun by taking him down? Don't forget the friendship between the Cangli tribe and the Yang tribe. Yang Yun is a direct descendant of the Yang tribe and a hero of Baquan. What are we in the Cangli tribe?"

Zhao Zhizhuo was silent for a while, then said quietly, "Yang Yun is concerned about the fourth lady, and also about the magic weapon in Brother Li's hand. He almost killed us. Let me make a plan and try a sneak attack."

Li Weiyi was shocked. He didn't expect Old Zhao to become so tough all of a sudden. He quickly said, "Don't mess around. The Yang family is backed by the Sui clan. Let alone those old guys, just provoking Yang Qingxi is enough to make us suffer."

It's April now and the weather is gradually getting hotter.

Pedestrians on the street were wearing much cooler clothes.

The two walked out of the city gate, crossed the wooden gate bridge that was more than ten meters long, and went home along the stone road beside the moat.

The stone road was five meters wide, and on the other side was the suburbs that stretched as far as the eye could see. The long stone steps under the eaves were filled with ragged children wearing straw sandals.

They were probably only five or six years old, with pale and thin faces, as if they had walked a long way, their feet were worn and their faces were covered with a thick layer of dirt.

There were probably nearly a hundred people, who seemed to be sitting there to take a break.

Li Weiyi walked forward, looking at the children. Under the eaves opposite, pairs of round eyes were also staring at him and Zhao Zhizhuo.

"Why are there so many children?" Li Weiyi thought it was abnormal.

Zhao Zhizhuo was not surprised at all and said calmly, "If you look closely, they are almost all twins."

Li Weiyi did discover this point. There were always two children who looked extremely similar, and only a very few were left alone.

Why is the proportion of twins so high?

It's too weird!

Zhao Zhizhuo said: "They are rice people, the rice of rice."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"What do you mean?" Li Weiyi was very confused.

Zhao Zhizhuo asked, "Have you heard of Rendao?"

Li Weiyi shook his head.

"Ren rice, also known as human rice."

“Ren means both benevolence and kindness.”

"Rendao originally came from the depths of the netherworld of the dead. It was the food for some mysterious beings in the world of the dead. It was introduced into the living world later."

"One ear of rice can produce several or even a dozen fetuses, all in even numbers. Those growing on the left and right sides of the ear look very similar, like twins."

"I heard that in those states outside, various forces have already started to grow rice on a large scale."

"First, we can select talented people and train them into warriors. Second, we can achieve a huge explosion of labor in a short period of time. Third... people are a kind of resource and commodity. There won't be too many disputes when buying and selling rice people, and no one will support them."

"I heard that some brutal rebels even used rice men to feed their exotic beast mounts."

"In Lizhou, several old patriarchs of the Jiuli tribe strongly opposed the planting of rice, believing it was against human ethics. They also believed that over time, the ratio of rice farmers to people would increase, which would cause uncontrollable turmoil."

"But as far as I know, there are still people in the tribe who are secretly planting in the Mengshan Mountains."

Li Weiyi was amazed, but he felt very heavy-hearted. The existence of the rice man would definitely cause many human problems. Looking at the children sitting on the street, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy and pity.

They have no parents.

If they don’t even have parents, who in the world will really care about them?

Not to mention caring about whether they are happy or not, I'm afraid no one cares about their life or death.

"Ayin, you have to wear your shoes properly, otherwise your feet will be rubbed. Just bear with it, we will be there soon..."

A woman in white Buddhist robes squatted on the ground, tying the shoelaces of a little girl made of rice. Her voice was pleasant and gentle, like a breeze in summer, which you will never forget after hearing it once.

After tying it, she stood up.

She has a very tall figure.

The Buddhist layman's robe was too loose, and one could only see her long arms and legs.

On his right wrist was a string of red prayer beads, as red as blood. The lay Buddhist in white noticed Li Weiyi's gaze, turned his head, nodded at him with a smile, and whispered a Buddhist name: "Amitabha!"

Li Weiyi naturally heard the Buddhist chant clearly. He was stunned at first, and then a storm of emotions arose in his heart.

This is not the Earth! There is also Amitabha in this world? Amitabha, also known as "Infinite Buddha", is the leader of the Western Paradise in mythology and legend.

Li Weiyi finally met a serious Buddhist practitioner. Just as he was thinking about whether to go up and ask for advice, the other party came over first.

The Buddhist in white was in his twenties, with sallow skin, a medium-sized face and slightly high cheekbones.

After she bowed respectfully, she said in a sweet and gentle voice: "You can tell at a glance that you have a kind heart and a soft light of compassion in your eyes. May I dare to ask for a bowl of vegetarian food?"

Although Li Weiyi attached great importance to money, what was a bowl of vegetarian food worth? He bowed back and said, "Forget about the bowl of vegetarian food! Take the children with you. I think they are starving."
