"Then what did your master say?" Lin Nanyin asked.

"Master has gone into seclusion, and senior brother is teaching us now. I know that senior brother has always been disdainful of my poor qualifications. He said that if the human race hadn't declined now, people like me wouldn't even be able to enter the Dao Palace, even if I suffer

After decades of cultivation, I will only be able to work as a handyman in the sect. I am not willing to accept it, but all the senior brothers and sisters who entered the Dao Palace in the same batch have now reached the first level of Qi training, and I am the only one who is still on the first level and cannot move forward.

." When it came to spiritual practice, Zhou Feibai showed a trace of depression, "Doctor Lin, I'm so bad."

Lin Nanyin thought about it for a moment and asked, "How long did it take you to introduce the air into your body?"

"Three months." Speaking of this, Zhou Feibai couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, "The people around me succeeded in introducing Qi into the body in one day, and the slow ones did not exceed half a month. Only me, it took a whole

It took three months to capture the feeling of Qi.”

Lin Nanyin asked this question to cultivate his self-confidence, not to hurt him. Seeing that he was disheartened, he immediately took out the handbook of cultivating immortals that he had read before, opened his eyes and lied: "I read it in a book before

I read the notes of an immortal leader who said it took him three years just to introduce Qi into his body, but he later became the golden elixir of achievement and became famous all over the world.

I think your cultivation may be the same as studying to get the top prize. What you strive for is not to be excellent for a while. Most of them are people who were called geniuses when they were children. But in the end, how many of those geniuses got the top score? Just like studying, cultivating

It is also a matter of a lifetime. Being temporarily behind does not mean being behind forever. The senior who broke through the golden elixir lived hundreds of years. When he died, even those who were better than him in the past had no idea how many times they had been reincarnated."

"It only took three years to introduce Qi into the body. With such a qualification, you can actually achieve a golden elixir?" Zhou Feibai questioned.

Lin Nanyin just smiled at this, "Who can say clearly about opportunities? You are only a teenager, and there are endless possibilities in the future. Who knows what kind of situation you will have in the future."

"That's true." Zhou Feibai sighed, looking confused and not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, his face finally no longer looked as depressed as before, "Thank you, Doctor Lin, I am in a much better mood now. Instead of feeling sorry for myself here,

I might as well spend more of this time on cultivation."

"Well, just think about it." Lin Nanyin never thought that words alone could make Zhou Feibai immediately hit the blood. She was not that eloquent, so she simply diverted his attention and took the opportunity to hand over Zhou Yuanniang to her.

She took out the deerskin gloves and handed them to him, "Your sister made these for you. I also want to tell you a happy event. Your sister is getting married on the eighth day of next month."

Zhou Feibai, who was originally happy when he saw the gloves, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the following words, "My sister... is getting married?"

"Um."

After receiving Lin Nanyin's affirmation, Zhou Feibai's eyes quickly turned sad, "It's a pity that I can't go down the mountain." After a pause, he asked again: "Who is my...brother-in-law? How is he? Is he good to my sister?"

?”

"Your brother-in-law is Dao Scarqing. As a person..." Lin Nanyin thought for a while and commented pertinently: "The character is pretty good, and he is also capable." Then she told him about what Dao Scarqing had done.

, "As for whether he treats your sister well or not, he won't treat her badly as long as you are here."

"Oh..." Zhou Feibai lowered his head and pinched his gloves, saying nothing.

Lin Nanyin stood with him for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, he patted his shoulder to cheer him up and went to get some water.

Some things still require the person concerned to have a clear mind, and she, a bystander, can only chat with her as a tool to vent her emotions.

The eighth day of next month came very quickly. During the day, Lin Nanyin was doing what she usually did. However, she didn't expect that she would not meet Zhou Feibai on this day. She originally thought that Zhou Feibai would not be able to go to her sister's house on such a special day.

You will also find her at the wedding ceremony and ask her to hand over congratulatory gifts and the like.

Could it be that something happened to him again?

The mountains and forests around Hantan were busy, and there were countless restrictions here. Lin Nanyin lingered in Hantan for a while, and when no one came, he left with a bucket.

In the evening, she did not exercise. Instead, she washed herself, changed her clothes, and went to Zhou's house.

Perhaps because everyone was only free at night, the bride had not even gotten into the sedan when Lin Nanyin arrived, and the Zhou family yard was bustling with people.

When Zhou Feibai's spiritual root was detected, Dao Scarqing built a new house for the Zhou family next to him in order to please Zhou Feibai. Now that their two families are getting married, they have not demolished the middle wall. It is said that the bride will get married later.

When I arrived, I had to sit in a sedan chair and be carried around West Street in a large circle before entering Dao Scarqing's house next door.

Walking into the back room, Lin Nanyin saw the bride sitting in the room wearing a red dress with her hijab still on. She was receiving makeup from other female family members.

Lin Nanyin had no jewelry, and the only hairpin she had was made of wood, so she couldn't get rid of it, so the cosmetic gift she prepared was a bottle of six-pill life-saving pills. This thing is very expensive in the market now, whether it is for personal use or as a gift.

Suitable for sale.

Someone saw her coming and immediately greeted her: "Doctor Lin is here too. The bride was talking about you just now."

Hearing someone calling "Doctor Lin", Zhou Yuanniang hurriedly looked towards Lin Nanyin. Lin Nanyin noticed that Zhou Yuanniang looked past her and looked behind her, but saw that there was no one behind her, and her eyes gradually showed disappointment.

Today is the most important day in Zhou Yuanniang's life. How could Lin Nanyin let her down? So in addition to giving her a makeup gift, she also took out a long and narrow wooden box from her sleeve, which contained a

Roots of some aged ginseng.

When others saw her getting two gifts, they immediately said, half jokingly and half angry: "Dr. Lin, why are you giving two gifts? This makes us stingy."

When Zhou Yuanniang saw the wooden box, her lost eyes gradually brightened up. She said nothing and only looked at Lin Nanyin with expectant eyes.

"It's not that I'm pretending to be rich, but one of these is my gift," Lin Nanyin thrust something into her hand, "and the other one was entrusted to me."

She didn't name who that 'person' was, she believed Zhou Yuanniang would understand.

Sure enough, Zhou Yuanniang grabbed the wooden box with tears in her eyes. When others saw it, others shouted at her to raise her head and stop crying. However, she raised the wooden box in her hand to the crowd, and everyone laughed even as her tears fell.

"I have no regrets."

After that, the wedding team outside arrived at the yard. Xiniang helped rearrange her makeup. The other female relatives in the room retreated, but Zhou Yuanniang begged Lin Nanyin to accompany her.

Nowadays, there are many people who have lost their parents and have no elders to help them. If he can make Zhou Yuanniang feel more at ease, Lin Nanyin will be happy to comply with her request.

It wasn't until the bride put on her hijab, was carried out of the house, got on the sedan chair, got married, and embarked on the first important journey in her life that Lin Nanyin was invited to Dao Scarqing's yard next door to wait for the banquet.

He prepared Dao Scarqing's wedding banquet with great care. There was plenty of meat and vegetables, but it was a pity that there was no wine. Xue Yong, who was sitting at the same table with Lin Nanyin, regretted this very much. He bluntly said that he would get some wild grapes from the wild and plant them in his yard next year.

Making wine.

Listening to Xue Yong's words, Lin Nanyin couldn't help but smile.

Thinking back to the time when she first came here, the Xue family wanted to plant mud melons in all the muddy places. Later, they gave up the idea because the planting yard was easy to be stolen. But it is different now. Even if the property field is gone,

He will also start thinking about producing things that enhance the emotional value.

Life is getting better and people are moving forward, and that's enough.

*

It was only on the third day after Zhou Yuanniang and Dao Scarqing got married that Lin Nanyin saw Zhou Feibai again. Different from his clean and tidy appearance before, he now had a bagged nose, several bruises on his face, and was limping when he walked.

He was crippled, and it looked like he was seriously injured.

"What's going on?" Was he hitting someone or being beaten? Lin Nanyin felt that it was most likely the latter.

But Zhou Feibai was just bored and refused to say anything.

He had no choice but to talk to Lin Nanyin, so he put the golden sore medicine he brought with him into his hand, and told him about the excitement of Yuanniang's wedding next week, "...there is rarely such excitement in the mortal area. Your sister was very happy that day.

.”

"But I couldn't even give her a gift." Zhou Feibai finally spoke.

"Why didn't you give it to her," Lin Nanyin said, "You are selected into the Taoist Palace so that she can live a prosperous life from now on. This is the best gift. The stronger you are and the higher you stand, the greater the protection she will receive. The life span of a mortal is no longer than that of a monk.

You can at least ensure that she has a smooth life."

"Is that so?"

"Of course it is." Lin Nanyin affirmed.

Zhou Feibai raised his lowered eyes again, "I actually wanted to buy her an amulet that day, but my senior brother saw it. He said he was short of spiritual stones and wanted to ask me to borrow some, but that was my last

He gave me the spiritual stone, but I refused, and then..." He pointed to the injury on his face, "That's what happened."

After a while, he didn't know whether he felt uncomfortable or lonely and continued: "I feel relieved knowing that she is doing well. She has a husband now and will have children in the future. I am no longer her only relative. Master used to be with us

When I preach, I always say, 'Immortals and mortals have different paths.' At that time, I always thought that my sister was at the foot of the mountain. I could go see her anytime I wanted in the future, so how could there be a different path? Now I seem to understand."

"You're right, Zhou Feibai will practice hard in the future." After saying that, he turned around and limped toward the depths of the cold pond forest, where he would wait for her, as if to say goodbye to the past.

Lin Nanyin looked at his leaving figure and sighed, but couldn't say anything.

Since that day, Lin Nanyin has never seen Zhou Feibai again.

The mountains are quiet, and the tall ancient trees always isolate the noise from the outside world, leaving only the gentle breeze and the chirping of mountain birds. Except for the sound of human voices that can be heard all the way home at night, Lin Nanyin feels that he is not much different from those who practice Qingxiu in the mountains.
