Chapter 30 The Heart of the Heart
Old Man Liu's house is very simple. Apart from a hardwood bed and a set of quilts, there is only a small eight immortal table and a few broken wooden benches. When Li Haocheng walked in, Old Man Liu was sitting next to the table, smoking a cigarette gun.
"Little brother of the Li family, you're here, but I'll wait for the old man." Old Man Liu pulled Li Haocheng to sit down.
The food and drinks on the table are very simple, just a small plate of green vegetables and a small plate of peanuts.
After all, Old Man Liu is not rich either.
After Old Man Liu poured Li Haocheng full of wine, he raised his glass and took a big mouthful of water.
"Ha..." Old Man Liu breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Grandpa Liu, what is this? I want to drink too. I want to drink too. Give me some drink!" Xiao Shitou looked around, touched his head, and said jumping.
Children always say curiously.
"Children can't drink this thing." Old Man Liu said with a laugh.
"Why?"
"A child can't practice martial arts anymore after drinking it, and naturally he can't become a hero in the future." Old Man Liu maliciously deceived the child.
When Xiao Shitou heard this, he looked very entangled and distressed.
Li Haocheng ate the vegetables and peanuts on the table, listened to the conversation between Old Man Liu and Xiao Shitou, looked at Xiao Shitou's entangled and distressed expression, and touched Xiao Shitou's head and smiled slightly.
"How is it? Brothers of the Li family, is this wine good?" Old Man Liu asked quickly when he saw Li Haocheng neglect.
Li Haocheng smiled and nodded.
"Haha, I just said, this wine is the good wine I bought at the Guodu Miaojiu Pavilion when I was in the world. It would probably cost more than tens of taels of silver to buy a jar." Old Man Liu said.
Li Haocheng drank all the wine in his glass in one sip.
Li Haocheng had no idea about money. He also "borrowed" the money he had when he was passing by some yamen's treasury.
"By the way, Brother Li, have you heard of it? Half a year ago, the rays of light on the mountain in the east (Li Haocheng did not receive good magic power when he left the Immortal Palace, and the treasure light emitted by the essence of Wanbao) I heard that the robbers in our area met the immortal there a few days ago and were turned into an ice sculpture." Old Man Liu seemed to remember some news and lowered his voice to Li Haocheng.
"Yeah." Li Haocheng nodded, and understood in his heart the water system magic fluctuations five days ago. Which robbers were really unlucky.
"How could this person become an ice sculpture? It will not be melted for several days (judging from the fluctuations in Anna's mana and the weather in late autumn, it will take at least three or four months to melt. Li Haocheng thought)? If I want to see, it must be that the gods couldn't stand their actions and punished them." As he said that, Old Man Liu drank another hard drink.
"God..." Li Haocheng was silent.
"Ah, it's so spicy, so spicy, so spicy..." Xiao Shitou looked at the two of them in contemplation, secretly drank a sip of wine and shouted loudly.
Li Haocheng and Liu Laohan smiled
Old Man Liu narrowed his mouth and said with a feeling again, "Why don't the gods come out to take charge of this troubled times? The countries are fighting for hegemony and wars are coming one after another. I don't know how many young people die on the battlefield. Maybe in the future, even small stones may have to go to the battlefield. Then, alas..."
"Maybe, the gods also have their own things to do." Li Haocheng said.
"I won't talk about it anymore, I won't talk about it anymore. What about the gods? We can't control the place. By the way, brothers from Li, do you see if Xiao Shitou is the material for studying? Does it have the potential to be a scholar? Is it possible to get the title of a scholar?" asked Old Man Liu.
Tong Sheng can join the army two years later, and if he becomes a scholar, he will not be included in the list of recruitment. Because in the laws of Che Ci Country (the country where Li Haocheng is, a very small country in the vast world of China, and is about the same size as Hangzhou), it is clearly stated that scholars are people who follow the literature, who can be masters and chief clerks, and can not pass the order to apply for recruitment on the battlefield.
"If Xiao Shitou works hard, I believe it will be possible." Li Haocheng nodded and said.
"Why would I talk to Xiao Shitou's father and let him study with you?" said Old Man Liu.
Xiao Shitou next to him heard this and showed a bitter look on his face.
"I don't learn those things. I will learn martial arts in the future! Be a hero!"
Li Haocheng agreed to "Okay."
When I returned to the house, it was already ten minutes late at night.
________________________________
In a blink of an eye, two years have passed.
This winter was particularly cold, with thick snow on the streets. There was no pedestrian on the road, only snowflakes fell quietly.
Li Haocheng's appearance is still like a boy, but he has lost some tenderness and looks more steady. He wears a green long gown and looks a little thin.
In two years, neighbors all met Li Haocheng and knew that he was a scholar. He was only sent to Qiushui Town because he met bandits. Many neighbors would lend a helping hand to him and often used the remaining rations to help them.
Of course, in return, Li Haocheng would also teach the children in the town to read and write. Over time, everyone in the town knew about Li Xiucai. Many families would visit Li Haocheng when their children were born and ask their son to seek fame.
Li Haocheng has been understanding people's hearts and resolutely controlling the hearts of heaven with people's hearts.
"There is nothing else in heaven, because the heart of heaven is not contaminated with emotions, and is empty and spiritual, so it becomes the will of heaven. The earthly feelings of ordinary people are bound by life and death. People destroy the true heart, so they are said to be the same origin and different flow, and they are far away. The most important persons use a awakening to return to the original to restore and return to the sea of tranquility. Therefore, ordinary people have awakened their minds to cause trouble and enter the bottom of desolation. After birth, they have already known the barriers and recognize them, and they cannot be awakened again after this. In the past, there is no need to find another opinion before everything comes. Only listen to the truth of my awakening, right and wrong, good and evil should be gone in normal times. Naturally, they are all in harmony, and everything will not be reborn. This is the difference between kings and overlords, the difference between being in action and not doing..."
"Heaven, earth and man are one qi that is connected. But heaven and earth are inaction, but their opportunities are concerned about people. Therefore, people and heaven and earth are called the three talents, and people are the masters of heaven and earth..."
"Those who are good at speaking about heaven must have some experience in people's favor and rebellion of human hearts, and observe the obedience of heaven's heart..."
One after another, the heaven and earth perception flows through my heart, and the supreme magical powers in the dantian evolve into the chess game of heaven and earth treasures.
A chess board appeared above Li Haocheng's head. This chess board looked like a large formation, with lines and lines, and like a chess board of Go, but it was 49 roads across, meaning the four nine heavenly way, so it was much larger than the ordinary Go board. On this giant chess board, there were 1,296 black and white chess pieces placed in stars, with tangled formations, some of which were swaying each other, and some of them were arranged in formations with iron walls, and the two armies were facing each other.
Some chess pieces are like dragons and snakes, hiding murderous intent.........
On this giant chess board, the shapes of chess are so complex that they are like all things in the world and in various shapes.
