Chapter 2 The Savior
Jinan Prefecture, Pingyuan County.
It was dusk and the sun was setting west. A woman in coarse cloth clothes limped step by step, carrying an empty shoulder pole, and slowly walked along the village road.
Today, all the cloths were sold out again. When Qiao thought about this, she felt a little relaxed. She was hardworking and skillful, and the cloths she woven were very popular. Every time she went to a stall to sell cloth, she didn't even have a piece of cloth head left. This is definitely the pillar of survival for her who made a living by weaving and taking care of her children.
Her fate is really not lucky.
Miss Qiao lost her father at a young age and lived with her mother and sister. Because there are only mothers and daughters in the family, they are inevitably exposed on weekdays, not to mention that the countryside does not pay special attention to the defense of men and women.
However, she was born with a black and ugly girl, and she had a lame leg. Every time she went out to wash clothes and fetch water, she would be discussed in person and ridiculed behind her back. She had not come to propose marriage for a long time until she became a 28-year-old girl, and she married a poor old widower in the same county forty-eight years old.
However, only three years later, the old widower died of illness in a snowy winter, leaving only a newborn son.
I wanted to go back to my parents' home to ask for help, but my mother refused to live in my parents' home for a long time, and only my sister secretly helped her. Qiao Nu was discriminated against and bullied since childhood and had already developed an independent and self-reliant personality. She immediately took her son back to the old widower's house, weaving cloth every night, and selling it in the county town during the day, barely covering her belly.
Life was already very difficult. Unexpectedly, on the night four days ago, Qiao Nu was weaving cloth. When she was tired, she suddenly heard the sound of heavy objects slamming the ground outside the door. Her house was remote and there were few people around her. Qiao Nu couldn't help but get nervous. She lightly removed the weft wooden knife of the loom and walked out the door carefully.
It was quiet outside the door. Qiao Nu's eyes were already blurred, and she saw that there was a black abbreviation on the ground outside the fence, and she didn't move at all.
Nu Qiao turned around and looked at the room where the child was sleeping, swallowed his saliva, and walked approaching with the courage.
It turned out to be an individual.
She tried to poke the man with a wooden knife, but she didn't respond. She suddenly felt relieved and couldn't help but feel troubled.
In early spring when it is cold and cold, normal people will probably freeze to death if they lie outside for a night. But if they want to save him, the family is barely all over the place, and they have no power to tie up their chickens and their son is young. If this person wakes up maliciously...
After thinking about it, she remembered her husband who had just died of illness due to the cold. She was soft-hearted and tried her best to drag the person into the demolition room, visit him every day, and poured some hot water, wild vegetable soup, etc. to maintain the life of this person.
Thinking of the person who was still unconscious at home, Qiao Nu couldn't help but get a little faster.
The man's skin is delicate and his hands are not called a callus. He obviously has never had any bitterness. He dresses strangely and looks like a Taoist dress. He should have at least no worries about food and clothing in his daily life. But after several days, she found out that there were people missing in the county or palace.
"If he doesn't wake up tomorrow, I will report to the official." Qiao Nu thought, silently carrying out mental construction. Facing the government, she is naturally afraid of poor people like her.
...
“Stranger ceiling.”
To be precise, it is thatched roof.
His eyelids twitched, and Xu Su opened his eyes suddenly, and was slowly closed by the sudden vertigo.
After a long time, he gradually adapted to his physical condition before he could sit up and lean on the firewood pile.
"What's going on in my case?"
The physical discomfort gradually disappeared, and replaced by a wonderful feeling flowing in the body.
Xu Su only sat for a while and felt that his physical strength had recovered, and his ears and eyes were clear and quick thinking, which was a state he had never seen before.
"Is this?" He felt confused and stood up to cheer up. He was obviously sleeping and dreaming, why is he now wearing Maoshan Chuandufa's Taoist outfit in this dilapidated place?
"Cruff~"
Suddenly, the small door of the woodshed opened in response to the sound. Xu Su hurriedly looked at him and saw an ugly woman in ancient costume holding a shoulder pole and stumbled her head carefully.
This outfit?
Xu Su had a guess in his heart. He naturally raised his hand and bowed, and asked, "You are merciful, what do you call me? What is this place?"
The person who entered the door was the girl Qiao who had just returned home and was attracted by the movement in the woodshed.
Xu Su was originally a young Taoist in his early twenties. He was well-read and kind in his every move. Qiao Nu gradually let go of her guard and bowed in a hurry. After a moment of hesitation, she invited Xu Su into the house and started a conversation.
After all, an orphan and widowed mother, Xu Su is not suitable for a man to sit in the yard. If someone sees him, it will be bad for anyone.
As the night became late, Xu Su sat in the woodshed, silently sorting out the information she obtained today.
It seems that I have indeed traveled to ancient times. But how did I travel? Why did I change my pajamas to Taoist outfits? I still can't figure it out, and there is mystery everywhere.
After thinking for a while, he had no idea. He pulled a ball of dead grass and was sitting on it. He habitually finished evening class and recited the "Huangting Inner Jade Sutra".
After one go, Xu Su discovered the abnormal movement in his body!
Is this...inner view?
When Xu Su recited the scriptures, his spirit was unconsciously guarding himself. In a trance, he seemed to see his body shining and gradually becoming as transparent as crystals. Only the five internal organs were each in five colors, surrounding the five colors of smoke and clouds. As he recited, the five colors of smoke and clouds gradually became rich and solid. After reciting it once, the smoke and clouds gradually scattered into the five internal organs, leaving behind five images of a few inches long and short!
Xu Su was shocked. He had been studying Taoist books for a long time, so why didn’t he know what it was?
This is the inner god achieved by the method of contemplation! And these five inner gods show five colors and are within the five internal organs, and they must be the gods of the five internal organs!
Have you really embarked on a journey of immortality?!
Xu Su was so excited that he couldn't hold back his emotions. In addition to being excited, he recited the scriptures ten times and felt a little tired, and then stopped.
After ten times, Xu Su observed that the appearance of the five inner gods had not changed significantly. He knew that this would take years of cultivation to accumulate. The current inner gods could appear, probably because of the accumulation of his past years, and now being stimulated by the time travel incident.
Although I have achieved some small achievements, I am still far from using the various Taoisms in the "Shangqing Sutra". I have not yet achieved great success in the "Huangting Neijing Jade Sutra", and this sutra is just an introductory pre-practice of the "Shangqing Sutra".
Xu Su lay on the haystack and remembered the woman who saved her.
This is a poor person and a kind person. I want to help her, at least improve her living conditions.
But first of all, you have to figure out the environment you are in. Go to the county town tomorrow to have a look, and you should be able to get more information.
Xu Su thought for a while and fell asleep.
