Volume 1, Chapter 42: Mining Stones at Nanshan with No Doubt!
Leave the outer courtyard and walk three miles to the south, and you will see a huge stone mountain, which is Nanshan.
This mountain is three hundred feet high. There are no trees, flowers or plants on the mountain. It is completely a stone mountain. The sect once took stones here. There was a stone field at the foot of the mountain, but this happened many years ago and the stone field is old.
Luo Li came here step by step, holding the tools he took from the outer courtyard, stone knives, stone chisels, stone chisels, stone hoes, stone mills, a whole set of tools, these are all magic tools, as long as you input true energy, you can easily cut the stone and shape it at will.
Arriving at the stone field, Luo Li began to organize the tools, look for stones, and prepare to work.
At this time, Gao Peng, Lao Sha, Xuan Shui and others came here, a total of twelve people, all Luo Li’s friends, came to help.
Gao Peng said, "Come on, let's do it together!"
Lao Sha said, "Yes, the fishy smell has long been disgusting. Let's work together to replace all the stone slabs."
Everyone came to help, and Luo Li did not stop them. Everyone worked together to clean up the stone field, open up a place for quarrying, and start quarrying.
Everyone worked together. As long as the tools were fed with true qi, cutting stones was like playing. Soon, stones were cut down, and then polished into shape to make stone slabs that could replace the outer courtyard.
In this way, everyone worked in one breath until the evening, and cut out more than 120 stone slabs.
Gao Peng said happily, "Great, this is actually very easy. Thirteen of us can make more than 100 stone slabs a day, and it can be completed in a year."
But the others did not respond. Some people kept frowning. Using the tools requires true qi. Cutting a stone slab requires at least one breath of true qi. After working all afternoon, one-third of the true qi accumulated last night was consumed. Working here every day, my own practice is completely wasted.
Luo Li looked at them and said, "Brothers, let's stop here today! From now on, it's over!
This is Luo Li's choice, Luo Li's decision, Luo Li's way! Don't come to help tomorrow!"
Lao Sha said, "How can that be? We are all friends. I will come to help you tomorrow!"
Luo Li shook his head and said, "Brothers, if you treat me as a friend, don't come to help. This will be a protracted battle. If you don't really want to do something for Tuo She Yuan, don't come!
I don't want my friendship with everyone to be consumed here. If you really want to help, just promote it for me everywhere, that's helping me!"
Lao Sha nodded and said, "I understand, you are using this matter to refine your mind and energy! This is also a kind of cultivation. Well, I won't come tomorrow! Luo Li, this is your choice, if you want to do it, then do it!"
Luo Li nodded, and everyone returned to Tuo She Yuan.
On the second day, Luo Li, who was supposed to rest, once again went to Nanshan to open the mountain, take stones, and then carried them back under the puzzled eyes of everyone, and replaced the old stone slabs of Tuosheyuan with new stone slabs.
Early in the morning of that day, only four of the twelve people yesterday went, and on the third day, only Gao Peng went, and on the fourth day, no one went.
So far, Luo Li was the only one left. He was alone in the empty stone field, digging rocks, cutting, polishing, and then carrying them back, returning to the outer courtyard, replacing the stone slabs, eliminating the resentment of the resentful stone slabs, and then throwing them far into the abyss.
Lonely and lonely, hard and hard, the spiritual energy accumulated hard one night, will be used up the next day, and about fifteen or sixteen stone slabs can be mined every day. This is Luo Li's day.
But Luo Li has no regrets, every day is like this!
Every day, in addition to practicing, eating, resting, and working, all Luo Li has to do is to do this, mining stones, polishing stone slabs, and carrying them back to replace!
One day, two days, three days...
At the beginning, everyone waited and watched, and when they saw other helpers coming back one after another, they stopped going over, and some rumors began to spread!
"He is the most capable and the best at putting on a show. The dean didn't do anything, but he showed off. Let's see how long he can last!"
"Yes, yes, this kid is just trying to gain fame, and he's asking for publicity. In fact, he just wants to attract the attention of the inner gate so that he can be promoted to the inner gate."
"It must be so. This kid must have other intentions, just putting on a show. I saw him coming to help before, but he had ulterior motives."
"Yes, he is too scheming. This guy is not good! I dare to predict that he will shrink after working for a month!"
"Hahaha, he will definitely say that cultivation is the first priority, and then shrink back. Seven days, I bet seven days!"
There are all kinds of rumors, countless rumors, focusing on Luo Li. They can't do it, and they don't like others to be able to do it, so they don't hesitate to use the most vicious language to attack Luo Li.
But Luo Li didn't care. Ten days, twenty days, thirty days...
Gradually, these words changed!
"Is this guy a fool?"
"Yes, it doesn't seem like a show. Indeed, indeed, this guy is a fool!"
"Haha, big fool, if you want to do it, just do it!"
"This kind of fool has a problem with his brain. Don't pay attention to him!"
Forty days, fifty days, sixty days...
Two months later, no one talked about Luo Li anymore. They were completely used to Luo Li, as if Luo Li, who came back with a stone slab on his back, was a scene in Tusheyuan. That's how it should be.
But Luo Li was quietly counting the days. Sixty-seven days, it's enough! It's time to harvest!
In the morning of the first day, he went to see old man Ji'an again.
Seeing Luo Li, whose muscles were tense and tanned, Old Man Ji'an smiled and said, "Luo Li, what's wrong? Do you want to give up?
Gao Peng has entered the second level of Qi refining, and his cultivation has caught up with you. These days, you have opened stones and made slates, consuming a lot of Qi. I see that you have made no progress in your cultivation. In the final analysis, we focus on cultivation, not You should do these chores, sometimes giving up is also an option..."
Old Ji'an thought Luo Li had given up and came over to end the matter. He said something to let Luo Li go down the steps to end the matter.
Luo Li shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Ji'an, I still want to continue!
However, I found that the slate I replaced at the beginning began to be assimilated by other slates, and my resentment began to spread to those slates. If this continues, what I have done will be useless. "
Old man Ji'an was stunned and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
Luo Li said: "Uncle Ji'an, I would like to ask for your advice on how to resist this excessive resentment?"
Old Man Ji'an thought for a while and said: "The only way is to arrange a magic circle on the stone slab or carve talismans to resist the invasion of resentment. You are only at the second level of Qi Refining, so you will definitely not be able to set up a magic circle, so you can only carve talismans. "
At this point, Luo Li's heart was beating wildly. At the critical moment, he saluted and said, "Please ask Uncle Ji'an for help!"
Old Man Ji'an was silent for a long time, and then said: "Well, I'll give you this token. This is my court order. You can take this token and go to the Sutra Pavilion in the outer courtyard to borrow all the secret books about talismans."
This is my support for you. I hope you can find a way to resolve your grievances! "
Luo Li took the token and was ecstatic. Two months of hard work was equivalent to earning thousands of spirit stones. It was so satisfying. He said respectfully: "Thank you, Uncle Ji'an!"
Old man Ji'an just smiled and said, "What a thoughtful boy. I hope you will keep it from beginning to end and don't let me down!"
What he said was mysterious. The old man in Ji'an was over ninety years old. He was the head of a hospital. He had eaten more salt than Luo Li had eaten. He had never seen anything. He had a complete understanding of Luo Li's thoughts and purposes!
Luo Li replied: "Don't worry, Uncle Ji'an, I won't let you down!"
After receiving the token of the head of the courtyard, Luo Li left. For the first time, he did not go to work in Shishan, but went to the Sutra Collection Pavilion in the outer courtyard.
When he arrived at the outer courtyard, he showed his token and all the talisman secrets that Luo Li had coveted for a long time were placed in front of Luo Li!
"True Interpretation of Talisman", "Three Hundred Questions on Divine Talisman", "Innate One Qi True Talisman Sutra", "Dongxuan Lingbao Natal Talisman Chapter", "Shigu Questioning Talisman Sutra", "Taiqing True Talisman", "Unspoken Talisman Record"...
This is the secret book of talismans, which records various methods of making talismans. Mastering them is equivalent to mastering power.
There are fourteen secret books in one breath. To view these secret books requires at least 3,670 spirit stones. Luo Li didn't spend a penny here, and they were all in front of him.
As long as you read these talisman scriptures, you will completely master the method of making talismans during the Qi Refining Period.
Luo Li took a deep breath, took out a sutra book he made with fur talisman paper, then picked up the Lingxi pen, melted the spiritual blood ink in the mud inkstone, and began to copy these talismans.
The simple parts were all memorized, and the difficult parts were copied bit by bit into his own scriptures by Luo Li, stroke by stroke, with full concentration without missing a beat.
In fact, Luo Li really wanted to study these talismans here, master them thoroughly, and practice them, but he couldn't!
I promised the old man in Ji'an that he would keep it from beginning to end, and he would do it as he said. Now is not the time to study the talismans. Now he can only record them all, and then go back to continue mining slates. At that time, he was in the Nanshan stone quarry, and he had many opportunities to study these. Talisman Scripture.
In this way, seven days later, Luo Li memorized all the scriptures in his heart and made a rough copy. Then Luo Li returned to Tuosheyuan, returned the token, and continued to work on stone cutting in Nanshan!
