Chapter Seventeen Mortal Paradise

The fish belly in the east had turned white, and not long after, a flash of red light sneaked out, turning the vast blue sea's pretty face red with embarrassment. In the steaming mist, the red sun that was about to be lazy finally emerged, and amid all the chaos,

I was willing, but I still got up shyly.

How long has it been since you last watched the sunrise? Li Yi was lying lazily on a boulder by the sea and thinking leisurely. It seemed that he had never paid attention to the ordinary sunrise and sunset since he started cultivating immortality. Now when he watched the sunrise again, he felt something in his heart.

Indescribable peace.

Maybe, it’s not bad to be a mortal!

Working at sunrise and resting at sunset, walking through an ordinary life in an ordinary way may not be as exciting as cultivation, but who says that there is no excitement in the ordinary? If you really were a mortal, you would also marry a wife and have children, and maybe have a family full of children and grandchildren.

I would also quarrel with my fellow laymen from time to time, and have some interactions with the officials who control the land. When I can hold my grandson in my arms, I would be happy to watch the sunrise and sunset with my wife.

"It's a pity that the life of a mortal has gone far away. If you embark on the road of cultivating immortals, you will definitely lose your life of a mortal. After a few days of rest, it's time to embark on a new journey. I only hope that after everything is understood, I can be like a mortal.

Live a free and ordinary life."

Turning over, Li Yi patted the dust off his body and looked at Xicheng behind him, which was getting busier and more prosperous. The look of longing on his face became thicker, but he couldn't help but get a look when he thought about his future.

An, finally slowly left with a soft sigh, and within a few breaths, he was no longer seen.

In the floating pavilion in the Dingzong forbidden area, the second lady Feng Qingling, who had nothing to do, was taking Russell, Meilian, and Leilan to practice embroidery. She did not use magical means, but just pierced her hair one by one like a mortal.

, and smiled at the girls and said, "Women in this world know this. How can I not embroider one for my husband when the four of us are already married women?"

Now that the second lady has said this, what can Russell and others behind her say? Over the past few days, they have become interested in embroidery that they have never learned before. Although their skills are not high now, they are decent.

However, if others knew that these female immortals did not want to practice cultivation, but instead stayed at home and learned embroidery, they would be angry to death.

Without taking his wives with him or telling anyone his whereabouts, Li Yi quietly left Shidao. In the past few days, he had also figured out that since he was back, he should go back and take a look.

Even though his master has left and several senior brothers are no longer here, it is still good to go back and see their old places. Perhaps their heroic souls are still there, still looking forward to his return.[

Without using his great powers, Li Yi slowly flew out of the chaotic sea like an ordinary monk, and then landed in a small village by the sea.

With his cultivation hidden, Li Yi walked in the village like a mortal, looking at everything around him with a slightly startled expression.

The houses are low and the dormitories are dilapidated. In the small village, there are only low sheds built with thatched bedrooms. If you really want to call it a house, Li Yizhen finds it a bit difficult to say it.

It was mid-afternoon, and the farmers who had had lunch on a sunny day in late autumn were rarely free. There were almost one or two women working in front of each hut. Compared with the highly developed social civilization in the Yanhuang world,

The Xuanming world is suspected to be in a relatively backward feudal society. At this time, men farming and women weaving was the norm in society, and this is the situation in front of us - all the women in the village are weaving and spinning.

In the courtyard, three or five six- or seven-year-old dolls were hugging the mud, chanting tunes that only they could understand. Their little faces had long since turned into tabby cats, but the smiles on their faces could not be hidden.

The adults are honest and the children are innocent. Although the village is small, the houses are shabby, and they are so poor that even their clothes are patched, they still have a sense of vitality and they can still survive.

He didn't see the men in the village, and Li Yi didn't go in. He just stood quietly at the entrance of the village, quietly looking at the somewhat dilapidated village, thinking about the life in his heart. Here, the children in the village were still causing trouble, and the

The woman was still working, and no one noticed his presence at all.

"Who are you!"

A voice that seemed immature, a little scary, but very loud suddenly rang out, breaking the peace of the village. In an instant, the child who had been hugging the fence ran away in response to the sound, and buried his head in his mother's arms with a look of fear on his face.

In his arms, all the women in the village stopped moving and protected their babies tightly. They looked at Li Yi nervously and looked strong.

Only from the shabby thatched house at the back of the village, without a door or a woman, walked out of a shabby little boy holding a short knife and looking only six or seven years old. He was waiting for Li Yi with a wary look on his face.

His little hand holding the knife was shaking, and his dark but bloody face was flushed. Obviously he was still scared, but he didn't run away like other children, but instead walked out slowly, steadily.

Steady and with slightly trembling legs, he walked towards Li Yi.

Finally, when he was less than ten steps away from Li Yi, he stopped and shouted again to Li Yi, who had no reply: "Who are you! What are you doing in Wangli Village? All the men in the village have been arrested."

, and there are no more valuable things, let alone treasures, please leave quickly!"

Looking at the little man who was trembling slightly and whose little face was flushed with fear, Li Yi, who was a little dazed, smiled. The slight smile was like a spring breeze blowing on his face, which made people feel more emotional. Except for the little man holding a knife.

Baby, everyone else in the village smiled kindly at him.

"Look, I'm not armed, and I'm not a bad guy." Li Yi pointed to his clothes. He was wearing silver and jade, and a white robe covering his body. He looked like an aristocratic prince, and he really didn't look like a bad guy.

"That's what the bad guys say! You leave quickly, Wang Licun doesn't like you! Leave quickly!" Xiaowa shouted without any hesitation.

Li Yi smiled even brighter. In the dilapidated village, the adults all shrank from him. On the contrary, a child who was so weak that a gust of wind could blow him over shouted at him and refused to let him enter the village.

, I really don’t know what a powerful soul there is in such a weak body.[

Seeing the little kid holding the knife and refusing to retreat, and Li Yi just laughing and refusing to leave, an old woman in the village had no choice but to stand up, salute Li Yi tremblingly, and said: "Master, this kid is Old Man Li

My grandson's parents were blown away by a demonic wind a few years ago. It was Old Man Li who raised him. However, Old Man Li was also killed by bandits who entered the village to rob him a few months ago. Now this child has no

He is a relative, so don’t be surprised if he hates outsiders."

"Grandma, this person is not a good person. Don't believe him. He appeared out of thin air. Don't believe him!" The little girl from the Li family shouted, waiting for Li Yi with red eyes. "He appeared out of thin air. I

I haven’t seen him before. Really, he is not human, he is also one of those thieves who want to steal treasures! However, there are no treasures left in our village. Even Uncle Li and Uncle Wang were taken away as treasures. He

They must be here to catch us!"

"Madam, you are overly worried. I was passing by here on the way down and saw that the village was dilapidated and sparsely populated, so I stopped and wanted to ask you about the current world." Li Yi returned the greeting and looked at that person with a kind face.

The Li family boy said: "What treasures in your village are worth grabbing for me?"

The little kid from the Li family suppressed it until his face turned red. He held it in for a long time before yelling: "They all say that our 'medicine' people are very tonic after taking it, and they all want to take it from us. Now the great 'medicine' in the village has been

We’ve almost been eaten, and now it’s finally our turn for the little ‘medicine’. Isn’t that why you came here!”

"Medicine man?" Li Yi looked at the Li family's children in surprise. After a while, he glanced at the women and children in the village, and he suddenly understood.

These people all have a touch of spiritual energy on their bodies. Without careful observation, it would be difficult for outsiders to discover it. As a mortal who has never practiced cultivation, he actually has spiritual energy on his body. If this is not a "medicine" person, what is he?

Moreover, Li Yi also discovered that among the several children in the village, the male children radiated significantly more spiritual energy than the female children. Among them, the Li family child holding a short sword was undoubtedly the first. In this way, he

Then we understand why this village is full of women and children. It seems that all the men in the village have been arrested to make medicine.

What Li Yi didn't understand was how could spiritual energy appear on a mortal body? This was even rarer than the spiritual roots of cultivating immortals. After observing again, Li Yi suddenly realized that the bodies of these people could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on their own, even though it was so slow.

It's hard for people to notice, but their bodies really absorb it on their own.

"Are your ancestors immortals?" Li Yi smiled and asked the eldest old woman first.

The old woman shook her head and smiled bitterly, and said: "I really don't know how to answer the young master's question. Our ancestors have been farmers for generations, and the most dazzling ancestor only went to the city and worked as a slave of the gods. How can we have ancestors who are immortals?"

.”

In the old woman's opinion, the gods should be the gods passed down by the ancestors of the gods. They are sacred and noble. Mortals can only look up to them and cannot reach them in their lifetime. She has no idea that what Li Yi is talking about is a cultivator who was born and raised in Xuanming.

people.

"I see."

Although he didn't want to know who the ancestors of this village were, Li Yi knew that these people all had rare cultivation blood in their bodies, and their ability to absorb spiritual energy alone was enough for the immortals to grab. This was the legendary heaven.

A spiritual body! Even if his bloodline is extremely weak, he is still a rare seedling to cultivate immortality.

"Are you willing to leave here?" Li Yi said with a smile: "If you want to leave, I can find you a new place to live, where you will not have to worry about your livelihood, and there will no longer be robbed by strongmen.

With your property, no one will catch you trying to refine the 'medicine'."

For a moment, everyone in the village was stunned. For Li Yi, a young man who always gave people a friendly feeling, they were willing to believe what he said, but they felt that it was too dreamy and too sudden.

Is there really such a place? The old, the weak, the sick, the orphans and the widowed will not be bullied? It can't be the paradise preached by the priests in the Holy See, right?

"Is this heaven?" The Li family's child asked with some longing. No matter how strong he is, he is only a ten-year-old child. He only looks six or seven years old because he is poorly fed and stunted.

"No! But, for you now, that is the paradise you yearn for!" Li Yi chuckled and shook his head.

"I want to go! I want to go to heaven, I want to eat delicious food, I want to eat delicious food!"

"I want to go too, I want to go too!"



Poor and hungry children are the least able to withstand temptation. Li Yi only said "heaven", and they were so happy that they didn't know why. One by one, they stepped on their little feet and jumped out of the adult's house.

He hugged Li Yi and circled around Li Yi with faces full of joy. His clear eyes were not full of eager yearning for a better life.

"this……"

The adults hesitated. Although Li Yi gave them a good feeling, who knew that he was not a liar? Facing someone who had just met and was not familiar with each other, who dared to accept his kindness?

"You don't have to rush to answer me. I understand your situation. Whether you go or not is up to you. You can discuss it privately. Let me know when you think about it. I will come to pick you up."

, Li Yi took out a piece of white jade from his arms, and solemnly handed it into the hands of the eldest old woman, and leaned over to look at the Li family boy in front of him, and said with a smile: "Would you like to come with me?

?Think of it as exploring the way for the aunts in your village?"

"I..." The little boy nervously grasped the short knife in his hand. His little eyes looked left and right for a while before he finally gritted his teeth and said harshly: "Anyway, my parents are gone, and my grandpa is no longer here. I

Living is just causing "chaos" to the village, so I'll let you go! If you really want to arrest me to refine the "medicine", even if I die, I will turn into a ghost and come back to tell them!"

"Hahaha, okay, very good! Then just follow me, and don't fall behind!" Li Yi laughed loudly, saluted the women in the village, turned around and left, and in

Behind him is the thin Li family boy.

"Li Xiaolang, you can be careful and remember to listen to the young master." The old grandma ordered with a slightly trembling voice. Her wrinkled face was already covered with old tears, and there are still people like her in the village.

Many of the other women burst into tears.

"I'm leaving. If there is a heaven, I will come back to pick you up!"

Listening to the cries coming from behind, the young Li family boy did not look back, but chased Li Yi's footsteps firmly. He was afraid that if he turned back, he would be reluctant to leave, and he was afraid that if he turned back, he would be in trouble.

Wake up and find that it was all just a dream.
