Chapter 129 Mortal life is like cultivation
"Grandma Zhang in the village is going to help me matchmaker!"
Qingquan grinned happily.
Qingquan is very handsome. Although he does not understand the world of mortals, he is relatively good at getting things done.
After arriving in Sanxi Village, Qingquan was very enthusiastic about helping people with work and got along well with many people in the village.
The villagers have a simple character, and if you treat me well, I will not treat you badly.
After learning that Qingquan was not married yet, he planned to be a matchmaker for Qingquan.
Of course Qingquan would be happy to do so, at least it would be easier than finding a woman to get to know on his own.
"That's not bad."
Ning Ruoxi did not choose to live in Qingquan's house. She went to live in the Buddhist hall in Sanxi Village.
Almost every larger village in the Western Regions has a Buddhist hall to worship Buddha.
There are also monks in the Buddhist hall. These monks know Ning Ruoxi and Shi Kong told her about it at the beginning, so they can expect Ning Ruoxi to live in the Buddhist hall.
"Is returning to one's original nature really a change in one's state of mind?" Ning Ruoxi doesn't think that returning to one's original nature is a change in one's cultivation.
Is it possible that we need to dissipate the whole body's cultivation and rebuild it to the combined stage before we can break through? It's obviously impossible.
If you really do this, you will probably become a laughing stock in the world of immortality.
So returning to nature refers to the state of mind.
"State of mind..." Ning Ruoxi's state of mind has always been peaceful. She can only temporarily understand it literally, "Returning to one's original nature means returning to mortal life."
"Everything is from the ordinary?"
In the next few days, Ning Ruoxi followed the mortal's lifestyle of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
Even at night, Ning Ruoxi tried to sleep instead of resting through meditation.
The crowing of cocks in the early morning broke the tranquility of the village. When the first ray of sunlight shined through the windows in the house, the villagers who had to do morning work got up one after another.
There is no tiredness on their faces, but smiles welcoming a new life.
Ning Ruoxi was walking at the end of the village, and many villagers passing by were greeting her. Even though they didn't know each other, when they were in the village, the villagers would smile and say, "Good morning!"
Ning Ruoxi has never experienced this kind of life.
"Which family is this girl so beautiful?" Some villagers were amazed by Ning Ruoxi's appearance.
"I don't know, but these days, this girl lives in the Buddhist hall."
"The girl lives in a Buddhist hall? Is she a nun who wants to become a monk and come to our Buddhist hall to worship the Buddha?"
The monks in the Buddhist halls are deployed here by the Buddhist sect above. They are similar to the outer disciples of the sect. As long as you stay in these Buddhist halls for enough days, you can become the inner disciples of the Buddhist sect.
Being in the Buddhist hall is a kind of test to see if you are determined enough to enter Buddhism.
Some people can't stand the boring life of Buddhism, the complicated daily rituals of worshiping Buddha, etc., so they give up joining Buddhism.
This Buddhist hall can help Buddhists screen out a large number of people and let them retreat when faced with difficulties. Not everyone is suitable for practicing Buddhism.
"Girl, have you had breakfast?" When Ning Ruoxi passed by a house, an aunt stopped Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi shook her head.
Upon seeing this, the aunt didn't wait for Ning Ruoxi to refuse, and directly pulled Ning Ruoxi into the courtyard and sat down, "Girl, let's eat together if we haven't had breakfast!"
The aunt 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 lady had no ill intentions towards her.
"Girl, what do you call me?"
"Ning Ruoxi!" "My surname is Liu, just call me Aunt Liu."
Ning Ruoxi said "hmm" and said nothing more.
Aunt Liu also noticed that Ning Ruoxi had a cold temperament and could be considered "introverted" and didn't like to talk.
"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. There was a stranger in the village for no reason. No matter what happened, the village had to find out who Ning Ruoxi was and why she came to Sanxi Village.
If she encounters difficulties, Sanxi Village can also give Ning Ruoxi some help.
"Then you live in the Buddhist hall every day, do you want to become a monk?"
Ning Ruoxi replied: "No, I don't have anywhere to live when I live in the Buddhist hall. There are extra rooms in the Buddhist hall."
"My family is in decline and I want to come to Sanxi Village to live a new life."
The following words were thought by Lin Shuang for Ning Ruoxi, otherwise it would be Ning Ruoxi's own idea, which is to answer whatever you ask. Ning Ruoxi and Aunt Liu will talk nonsense for who knows how long.
"So that's it!" Aunt Liu looked at Ning Ruoxi with a hint of sympathy, "Looking at your extraordinary dress, you must be from a wealthy family. How can you get used to it if you live in poverty?"
"You can get used to it."
"Then how about you stay at my house temporarily? It's not appropriate for you as a woman to live in a Buddhist temple. Although the people in the village have no ill intentions towards you, they will still talk about it. It will be bad if it ruins your reputation. "Aunt Liu really wants to help Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi agreed, it should be said that Lin Shuang agreed.
Aunt Liu happily grabbed Ning Ruoxi's hand. Ning Ruoxi's hand was very cold, "Hey, 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 also made Ning Ruoxi's hands warmer.
Ning Ruoxi saw that there were a lot of calluses on Aunt Liu's hands. She probably did a lot of farm work on weekdays.
"You have breakfast first, and I will help you clean up the house. You will stay at my house tonight."
Aunt Liu walked into the east room and started working.
Ning Ruoxi looked at the rice porridge placed on the wooden table. There were some vegetables in it and two eggs on the side.
This kind of breakfast is considered a delicious meal for ordinary mortals. Ning Ruoxi did not dislike it. She took a bite of the rice porridge and it was 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, the life of a mortal is also like cultivation..."
Lin Shuang didn't answer. She was a little shocked. She didn't expect Ning Ruoxi to realize this truth so quickly.
How many days have you been in the mortal realm?
Ning Ruoxi's understanding was really strong. In Lin Shuang's eyes, even the geniuses in the fairy world could not compare to Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi drank a bowl of porridge, but she didn't touch the eggs on the table. Sanxi Village was not a particularly wealthy village.
The standard of living from house to house is that of just enough to have enough to eat.
Every household is reluctant to eat eggs. Except during holidays, they will sell eggs to make money.
Ning Ruoxi waited until Aunt Liu had tidied the room. Aunt Liu came out and asked Ning Ruoxi to come in and take a look.
The house is not big and everything inside is very old, but it is very neat.
"Thank you, Mrs. Liu!"
