Daji Immortal Dynasty, the imperial capital was Luoyi.
Winter solstice moonlit night,
The cold wind howled in Gutong Alley.
A simple and small earthen courtyard faces south, with a wooden bed, low chairs, and wooden tables. Fishing nets and hunting bows are hung on the earthen walls. There is a half-foot-long dark iron fire stick beside the bed. The furnishings are simple and neat.
Su Chen curled up on the bed. The quilt covered with grass could not resist the bone-chilling cold air in the middle of the night during the winter solstice. He still felt the cold invasion, as if he was in a world of ice and snow.
Standing on the table is a mottled ancient black bird blue and black bronze lamp. It has been touched for many days and nights, and the dim light shines brightly.
The faint light seemed to be the passage of thousands of years, exuding a deep and mysterious atmosphere.
The base of the ancient lamp is engraved with "Destiny Black Bird", which bears the traces of the vicissitudes of the ages and the rusty ancient characters on the moss.
It's quiet and dim, the lights are flickering, and the green smoke is curling up, exuding a faint fragrance.
Su Chen huddled in the cold bed, unable to sleep. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the light snow falling outside the small earthen house.
The papered windows could not withstand the biting cold wind blowing all night long.
The small earthen house was empty, and there was no firewood for heating.
"So...cold!"
Su Chen Leng's lips turned blue,
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to get up and practice!
Stimulate your spiritual power, activate your qi and blood, and your body will feel warm!
He climbed out of the cold straw quilt and put on a white washed coarse cloth.
In the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty, the emperors, Taoists, Confucianists, Mohists, soldiers, Yin and Yang, farmers, and Dharma were all prevalent, and each had its own way of practice, attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint.
What Su Chen inherited was the Yin-Yang Sect technique from his ancestor, Prince Yousu.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, pointing to the moon with his left hand, and facing his heart with his right hand, silently memorizing the Yin-Yang Clan secret book - "Yin-Yang Jue".
[The first realm of "Yin Yang Jue": Moon God Realm].
“My left hand points to the moon, I am the moon god!
Under the blue moon, I am the supreme one!
The extreme of yin is the beginning of yang!
Enlighten the Tao with the moon and prove the moon god! "
Su Chen sat cross-legged, made Yin and Yang seals with his hands, silently performed the exercises, and took a long breath.
Three shallow and one deep,
From shallow to deep,
From deep to shallow again!
A cup of tea, a breath, the breath is like a thread!
After exhaling three times,
He took a deep breath and slowly expelled the turbid air from his chest.
Outside the cold window,
A ray of cold silver-white moonlight passed through the gauze window paper and fell on the young man's body.
Over time, extremely thin silver-white moonlight spiritual energy appeared in the air around Su Chen's body. It gradually gathered and wrapped him in wisps of white energy.
The moon pupa formed by this moonlight spiritual energy completely enveloped him, forming a small and rich moonlight spiritual energy barrier, forming a pupa for cultivation!
Moonlight Spiritual Qi is an extremely yin gas with extremely cold properties. Once inhaled into the body, it can easily cause Moonlight Cold Poison.
Among the hundreds of sects in the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty, very few of them practice techniques that absorb the spiritual energy of the Moonlight.
However, the Yin Yang Sect's unique cultivation method "Yin Yang Jue" can make use of this moonlight aura.
Su Chen soon felt that a strong flow of spiritual power flowed out of his Dantian and flowed in the small Zhoutian meridians. Then the spiritual power returned to the Dantian, completing a cycle, and his skills became increasingly refined.
His Dantian started to warm up!
And deep in his Dantian, he had already condensed a small Moon Soul with his spiritual power.
This moon soul is quite magical. It is not an ordinary fixed form, but changes unpredictably between the new moon and the full moon, faintly echoing the moon in the night sky.
He is the first realm of the Yin-Yang Sect [Moon God Realm], and has cultivated to the late seventh level, becoming more and more perfect!
It is estimated that in another year and a half, he will be able to break through the peak of the late Moon God Realm and enter the second level of the "Yin Yang Jue" technique.
...
After a few hours,
As the sun rises, the chill in the earthen house gradually dissipates.
The wooden window of the earthen house gradually became brighter, and the brilliant sunlight passed through the paper window and fell on a silver-white cold spiritual energy moon chrysalis on the bed.
a long time,
This pale silvery white aura pupa dispersed.
A figure of a handsome young man with a rosy face, a childlike air with Ning Yi's calmness, and bright eyes appeared.
Su Chen opened his bright eyes, removed the "Yin Yang Jue" with both hands, and put away the practice technique.
He got up, pushed open the wooden window, and propped up a wooden support.
The snow has stopped!
There is a piece of white snow in the small earth courtyard, and the air is refreshing.
The one-acre vegetable plot in the courtyard is covered with dry straw and some winter vegetable seedlings are planted there.
"After practicing...I'm so hungry!"
Su Chen took a deep breath of the cool air, touched his growling stomach, glanced at the empty earthen house, and showed a wry smile.
His ancestors were originally from the royal family of the Yousu Kingdom.
But this was hundreds of years ago,
Hundreds of years ago, the Su Kingdom was destroyed by barbarians from the north. The Su clan fled to Chaoge City under the rule of the Daji Immortal Dynasty. They have been a poor family for five generations to this day.
Su Chen's family owns hundreds of acres of spiritual land outside Chaoge City, with a slightly low yield. Life is not bad, and the harvest from hundreds of acres of spiritual fields is enough for daily cultivation.
Unexpectedly,
A few months ago, another massive disaster of barbarian soldiers and monsters broke out in the northern territory of the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty.
Chaoge City was captured by barbarians, and the people in the city were forced to flee with their families.
The Su family's hundreds of acres of spiritual land and property were gone, and they fell into extreme poverty overnight.
The father, mother and fellow villager Qing Zhuang were responsible for the divorce, but they lost their traces and have not been heard from since. Their whereabouts are unknown.
Su Chen was in a hurry when he fled, and the package could not bring much belongings.
He and some young men from his hometown fled to Luoyi, the imperial city of the Daji Immortal Dynasty, and rented a small earthen courtyard in the city.
A lot of black money is needed every month to pay the rent of the small courtyard. Coupled with the cost of practicing the exercises and purchasing food, the daily expenses are like running water.
Originally, he was thinking that when his parents fled to Luoyi Imperial City to reunite with him, he could just concentrate on practicing the exercises, and he wouldn't have to worry about not having enough money.
However, there has been no news from my parents so far, and I'm afraid they won't be able to wait until they come back.
Now that the silver in his package is almost gone, he still needs to make plans early.
Su Chen looked through the money pocket of his luggage hanging on the bedside. There were still more than ten black coins left in it, which was only enough to buy a few scallion pancakes at the market.
The remaining grains in a rice vat in the corner of the house are enough for a month, and I won't starve to death for a while.
But just by cooking porridge and eating whole grains, it would be unable to withstand the depletion of his energy as he practiced the exercises every day. If he continued to practice, his Yin-Yang Sect cultivation realm would only deteriorate further.
I'm afraid it's a long way from enlightenment and becoming a saint!
Su Chen carefully dug out a small root of Millettia root from the medicine basket on the wall of the earthen house, chewed it for a few times and then swallowed it.
A little spiritual juice is better than nothing.
"The practice of Kung Fu requires the assistance of spiritual medicine, which is too expensive! ... We must quickly find a way to make money, otherwise this cold winter month will be very difficult!"
Su Chen had a sad look on his face.
Nowadays, the situation is difficult, the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty is uncertain, and he is also extremely embarrassed.
But no matter what, we still have to find a way to survive first.
It is difficult to find a stable income in Luoyi Imperial City in winter.
Either work as a bookkeeper for a wealthy family in Luoyi City, or as a handyman such as a doorman or a housekeeper, earning a stable salary of dozens of taels of silver every month.
Various parts of the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty suffered disasters from barbarians and monsters, and more and more civilians fled to Luoyi.
Often dozens of people compete for one job, making it increasingly difficult to find work.
After a busy day, you may not be able to earn thirty or fifty black coppers, and you can barely make ends meet.
In addition, there are other money-making activities, such as hunting out of the city, catching animals in the mountains, fishing in the rivers, picking wild medicinal materials, selling animal skins, etc., and you can also earn a small amount of black silver.
But near Luoyi City, there is probably no prey to be found in the cold winter wilderness. The most troublesome thing is that you may encounter fierce patrol teams of barbarians and ferocious wild monsters in the countryside.
With his current first-level cultivation, leaving the city is very risky.
"What can I do to make money?!"
Su Chen murmured where to make money.
Suddenly he thought of what his father had given him, and took out an old brocade treasure bag from under the pillow.
When his father was fleeing, he stuffed this ancestral treasure bag into his arms and told him with tears streaming down his face, "Son! From now on, you are on your own. If you have anything to do, please read our Yin-Yang Sect Holy Scripture - —"Imperial Calendar"!".
As soon as Su Chen thought of this, he poured out a copy of "Da Shang Emperor's Calendar" from the bag. It was edged with gold wire and the pages glowed with golden light. At a glance, it was obvious that it was extremely luxurious. This was a treasure book of the Yin and Yang Sect.
This treasure book is extremely rare. My father used to hide it and was reluctant to show it to him.
It wasn't until the situation was dangerous when he fled that he was forced to flee with his ancestral treasures first.
There is also a palm-sized piece of yellow and white tortoise shell inside the treasure bag, which is extremely hard.
And a small handful of white Lingzhi fairy grass, exuding a faint grassy fragrance.
These are the spiritual objects used by the Yin and Yang Gate to ask questions and hang divination.
There is another sentence that his father told him about the unique secret of the Yin and Yang Sect: "When you are not sure, ask the "Imperial Calendar", and if you are not sure about the "Imperial Calendar", ask the divination. Yin and Yang alone determine the universe, and those who follow the trend will prosper and those who go against the trend will perish! Those who cultivate will live as long as the sky, The ultimate of the ten realms of yin and yang.”
