Chapter 1802 House Building and Literacy
The girl's eyes widened, and she immediately looked at the newly piled graves with a look of fear in her eyes, trying to break free from the other person's hand and run away.
Langxing restrained her body and said with a smile, "Do you think of me as a ghost, or do you have other ideas? Don't be afraid, you should work hard to get life-saving money for your mother."
The girl's body was trembling slightly, and she stammered, "You...have you lived for hundreds of years? These graves are next to the graves of the old gods. They must be the children and grandchildren of the old gods. If you come to pay homage to them, then...
...Then you should be of the same generation as them..."
"Yes, I am the younger brother of the Lang family. My sister's name is Shui Yan. It was she who set this family motto for you. I helped my sister twice. In fact, she had already given a lot back to the Lang family during her lifetime.
She sent me a lot of money. My sister is a thoughtful person and she must be thinking of me before she dies. I really should go visit her again. Alas..."
The girl saw that he looked quite sad at the end, so she bravely asked, "Are you really a god? Not a ghost?"
"How can the descendants of the old immortal be ghosts?" He said, pouting towards the grandfather's grave. "How dare ghosts come to the old immortal's grave to show off and deceive?"
The girl felt that it was reasonable, her fear was slightly reduced, and she asked cautiously, "Then if I don't go to practice with you, will you still lend us money?"
"These are two different things. I will definitely give you fifty taels of silver. It will only be more but not less."
"Okay..., then...then..." The girl's eyes flashed repeatedly.
"You don't want to go, do you? It doesn't matter. Anyone who suddenly encounters this kind of thing will panic. Cultivation is not necessarily a good thing. Being a god also has the pain of being a god. The reason why I am here is because I failed to fulfill my filial piety by my parents.
I feel guilty in my heart, and this guilt remains with me to this day, and the life of a deity is not as carefree as you imagined. I think of my sister because of you, and seeing that you are quite qualified, I asked you what you think."
Seeing that his words were quite emotional, the girl became bolder and asked curiously, "Can you tell me what the life of a god is like?"
Lang Xing said with some contemplation in his eyes, "It's basically similar to the mortal world, except that everyone has some supernatural powers. In the mortal world, people pursue money and power, but in the world of cultivation, what they pursue is cultivation, and higher cultivation
, everything is there, and it is also related to the length of life, so their pursuit of cultivation is more urgent than the pursuit of money and power by ordinary people. Mediocre people can live a contented life in the mortal world, because there are
A lot of human connections, distractions from daily chores, and a busy life have passed. But cultivators don’t have so many distractions, and their lifespans are long. If they can’t make rapid progress in cultivation, they have to endure loneliness and suffering.
Already."
"Then do you think I should practice cultivation? You just said that I can live for a thousand years. Is this considered long or short?"
"A thousand years is neither too long nor too short. What I'm saying is that you can live at least a thousand years, and if you break through one more levels, you can multiply it several times. Life span is not important. If you feel that there is no hope, you can live for three or four hundred years.
It's enough to get boring. As for whether you should practice or not, you have to make your own decision."
The girl changed from being fearful and unwilling to go to being a little tempted, and asked, "Does it mean that if you go, you can't come back?"
"You can only come back once in a while, and you can't get together like visiting relatives. There are rules in the world of cultivation, and you can't easily reveal the things about the world to mortals, otherwise it will lead to disaster."
"Then if you tell me this, will it..." The girl became uneasy.
"Of course you can say something when you come to the mortal world to take a disciple. If you
If you don't want to go, just keep these words in your heart. If you leak them out, you will bring trouble to yourself, your family and even your neighbors will suffer."
"I won't say a word!" the girl promised fearfully.
"Then you can weigh it yourself whether to go or not."
The girl turned her head and looked at her brother under the big tree in the distance, and said sadly, "My brother is not very sensible. I can't feel at ease leaving my mother to him to serve me."
"I can understand your mood, so I have been telling you about the hardships of practicing. If you choose not to go, don't regret it. Your qualifications are just enough for me to give you a chance, otherwise I will feel sorry for my
Sister, we are destined to meet each other today. There is one more thing I have to tell you clearly. I have been very busy recently and it is difficult to take care of you. I have to temporarily leave you with someone else, and I will find a good place for you later. "
The girl's eyes flashed with joy and she said, "In that case...can you come and pick me up in a few years when you are free? I can use this time to serve my mother and teach my younger brother. In a few years, I will be old enough to get married."
, just think that you are marrying in a foreign country."
Lang Xing shook his head and said, "It's already too late for you to get started now."
The girl's eyes immediately became tangled. Children grow up listening to stories about gods and ghosts. After the initial fear subsides, the temptation to become a god becomes greater and greater.
Lang Xing said nothing more and turned his attention to the boy who had fallen asleep under the tree. In fact, the boy had better qualifications than the girl. It was only because of the conversation between the two siblings that he decided to give the girl the opportunity.
On the one hand, he gave this opportunity to his sister Shui Yan, and on the other hand, he was grateful for the filial piety of his sister and other descendants. It was quite reluctant for him to do this, and it undoubtedly added a burden to himself, but this
His heart had to be exhausted, so he didn't want to say any words of encouragement, he just told the truth based on his conscience. It was up to the girl to decide.
"I still... don't..." The girl struggled to say half of her refusal, and finally changed her words unwillingly and begged, "Can you let me see the magical powers of gods? I will never tell anyone, it is really difficult for me to do this.
Make up your mind."
"Okay." Before he finished speaking, the two of them were in mid-air.
"Ah!" The girl was so frightened that she immediately threw herself on Lang Xing, hugging him tightly and not even daring to open her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, you won't fall." When the girl's heart was beating wildly and she opened her eyes a little, Langxing led her to walk slowly in the air for a while, then hurriedly walked for a hundred miles, and finally fell back to where she was.
The girl's legs went limp and she sat on the ground, panting rapidly and looking up at this living god with wide eyes.
Langxing smiled and said, "Once you learn this kind of magical power, it doesn't matter. Just like we can build houses, but cattle and horses can't, but no one will be happy to live in the house all day long, but they will envy others' lofty houses."
That’s the truth behind homesteading.”
"I'll learn!" The girl started to tremble again with excitement.
Lang Xing seemed not to have heard, and continued calmly, "It's like reading and learning calligraphy. Ordinary people are like illiterate people. They envy everyone who can read and hyphenate, but once you have some knowledge, you will understand some things."
People's talents and knowledge cannot be caught up even if they spend their entire lives. This kind of pain and frustration cannot be understood by illiterate people. Illiterate people do not have this kind of pain. The more they know, the greater their desires. You can think about it carefully. You can
We’ll make a decision tonight.”
"I really want to learn! You have already given me this knowledge, I..." The girl said eagerly and couldn't help turning her head to look at her brother. She still couldn't let go of her mother and brother. The girl's eyes widened.
He opened his eyes and immediately looked at the newly piled graves, his eyes flashed with fear, and he wanted to break free from the opponent's hand and run away.
Langxing restrained her body and said with a smile, "Do you think of me as a ghost, or do you have other ideas? Don't be afraid, you should work hard to get life-saving money for your mother."
The girl's body was trembling slightly, and she stammered, "You...have you lived for hundreds of years? These graves are next to the graves of the old gods. They must be the children and grandchildren of the old gods. If you come to pay homage to them, then...
