Chapter 18 Aura

Er Gouzi has been back to Shekou Mountain for two months.

During this period, he was full of passion every day, like a cow that never tires. Every day, he practiced martial arts and reclaimed wasteland.

He broke several hoes and hatchets.

Of course, the harvest was also very good, and he successfully reclaimed two acres of wasteland.

He planted Polygonatum sibiricum on the two newly added acres.

Because only Polygonatum sibiricum blooms and produces seeds, and he only has Polygonatum sibiricum seeds.

This day, he was going to turn over the land where he planted Cistanche deserticola and plant some Polygonatum sibiricum.

When he dug a hoe, he found something. There was a white jade-like thing in the soil.

"What is this?"

He squatted on the ground and looked carefully. This thing was in the shape of a column. The shape was not very elegant, and it was easy to remind people of other things that would make people blush.

Could this be Cistanche deserticola?

Thinking of this, he picked up the hoe and started digging the soil. He dug out the whole column, which was more than two feet long.

Then he dug in the open space where Cistanche deserticola was planted, and indeed he dug out many more columnar objects.

Each one was white and crystal clear, thick and long, and covered with scales.

He picked up one and took a bite. It tasted sweet, and then bitter. It was edible, but not particularly delicious.

After digging out more than a dozen pieces in a row, he was very sure that this thing should be the Cistanche deserticola planted two months ago.

There was no need to dig out the rest, and he planned to leave it in the ground to continue growing.

Last time, he heard that unreliable old doctor say that this thing was very tonic, but he didn't know how to supplement it.

He wanted to try it himself.

However, he was afraid that the medicinal properties were not enough, so he put the Cistanche deserticola in a gourd first and stored it for a few days before eating it.

In addition, the first batch of Polygonatum sibiricum grew well, so he dug a few plants and put them in the gourd, so he just tried them together.

After three days, he took out the two medicinal materials, washed them clean, and stewed a large pot.

After being stewed, both herbs tasted slightly bitter and sweet, and the taste was very good.

Er Gouzi ate like he usually does, taking a bite of Polygonatum sibiricum and chewing a bite of Cistanche deserticola, and he ate them very deliciously.

After eating, he lay on the bed, his stomach was warm and his body was a little hot.

He couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed anyway, but he felt more and more energetic the more he lay there, and felt that he had an endless amount of energy in his body.

In the middle of the night, he simply got up, carried a hoe and went to the field to open up wasteland, cleared a large area of ​​land, and then went back to sleep.

He felt that his energy was still not exhausted, lying on the bed, all kinds of strange and weird thoughts came to his mind one by one.

"I'm 14 years old this year, not too young. Do you want to spend some money and ask a matchmaker to find me a wife?"

"There are 12 girls of the same age in the village. Which one is more suitable? Xinghua, Hehua, Cuihua..."

"Cuihua, who used to pick wild vegetables and pig grass with me when I was a child, is married. I still remember that we used to touch crabs in Snake Creek with our bare chests..."

"The food at Huang Laocai's place is really good. I've never seen a girl so round. She walks with a twist and a sway..."

"Oh! What a pity..."

He finally fell asleep while thinking about it.

He had a dream that he married his second daughter.

On the wedding night, his second daughter had a rosy face and wore a red dress with embroidery.

He began to take off his second daughter's clothes. However, he took off one piece after another, and he could never finish taking off all the clothes on her.

After taking off his clothes for a whole night, he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, sweating profusely, and didn't even see the white flesh as much as his fingernails.

When he woke up in the morning, he found that his clothes were wet.

He touched it with his hand, and it was not sweat, but blood from his nose.

Was it because he took too much supplements, or was he anxious in his dream last night?

No!

The moment he got up from the bed, he felt something was wrong.

The feeling today was completely different from the past.

A careful comparison showed that his ears and eyes became smarter, his hands and feet became lighter, and his strength became stronger.

When he sat cross-legged and started practicing in the morning, he found a bigger difference.

He could sense some colorful small light spots in the surrounding air.

These light spots were extremely active and drifted in the air.

When he breathed in and out according to the method, some light spots entered his body with the air.

Then most of the light spots would escape from his body through breathing or from the skin.

Only a very small number of light spots remained in his body and were refined by him as part of his body.

"Is this the spiritual energy mentioned in the book?"

"I can sense the spiritual energy!"

In the past six months, Li Banxian has used that broken book as an enlightenment textbook and has asked Er Gouzi to copy it from beginning to end.

The advantage is that Er Gouzi can not only read and write, but also remember the contents of the book by heart.

The book says that there is spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Any living creature that can absorb the spiritual energy into the body can strengthen its body, prolong its life, and even become immortal.

But ordinary people, although living in a spiritual environment, cannot sense the spiritual energy. They need to practice for a period of time and reach a certain level before they can sense it.

Once you successfully sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is called sensing the energy.

Er Gouzi walked outside and carefully sensed everything.

He found that everything has spiritual energy, but the density is different.

In ordinary soil and stone, one or two spiritual light spots can be found one or two feet apart, which is slightly better than nothing.

In the fields, in the soil that he had watered with the gourd, the spiritual energy spots were obviously much denser.

Perhaps on average, one or two inches apart, you can see a spiritual energy spot, which is slowly dissipating into the air.

Then he compared ordinary items with items that had been stored in the gourd for more than three days.

Obviously, the spiritual energy content of the items stored in the gourd was several times higher.

He guessed that the things in the gourd had magical effects, probably because the spiritual energy was more concentrated.

The breakthrough in cultivation allowed him to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as if a new world had opened up all of a sudden.

Starting from sensing the energy, you can practice the first level of the nameless technique.

Er Gouzi never understood that since this was only the first level, what was the technique he practiced before?

Anyway, this broken book has no beginning or end, and the master is often unfathomable and doesn't like to mention these trivial matters.

However, for this breakthrough, it is better to ask the master for advice.

Last time I was chased by a black shadow, I still have lingering fears and almost died. I wonder if I can ask the master for a sword technique or something like that.

Also, I dug out so many Cistanches, I can also ask the master to take a look at how to process and use them, he doesn’t quite understand.

I probably took too many tonics last night and got angry.

But if I hadn’t taken so much at once, I might not have been able to break through this morning.

Er Gouzi climbed down the mountain with a sack on his back. Now it’s winter again, and everyone is preparing for winter.

There are many children in the fields carrying baskets to dig wild vegetables, pick wild fruits, and collect grass seeds...

They will not let go of anything edible.

Even a handful of wild grass seeds can save a life when there is no food in winter.

Among a group of children digging wild vegetables, I saw two familiar figures.

“Xiao Ezi!”

It was Xiao Ezi and Zhang Youxin, both of them were digging wild vegetables in the fields.

“Brother Gouzi!”

Xiao Ezi ran towards him happily with a handful of dogtail grass in her hand.

Zhang Youxin followed Xiao Ezi, holding a hoe and staring at Er Gouzi, ready to fight him at any time.

The uncle's family inherited Er Gou's parents' inheritance and had dozens of acres of land, so they naturally didn't need to eat dogtail grass.

But because they had to support Zhang Youliang's martial arts training, the expenses were huge and life was very tight. Collecting some grass seeds and wild vegetables could be used to feed chickens and pigs, which could also save some food.

Er Gouzi used to eat dogtail grass seeds in pig food. They were very rough and scratched his throat, but they were very filling.

In comparison, barnyard grass seeds are much more delicious.

"Brother Gouzi, are you here to dig wild vegetables too?"

"I'll tell you a secret. There are still many tender wild vegetables behind the creek bend field."

Xiao Ezi came closer and whispered to him.

"Oh, okay, thank you. I'll go to the town first and come back to see it."

Er Gouzi doesn't need to eat wild vegetables now, and probably won't need them in the future, but he still thanked Xiao Ezi happily.

"I'm going to town. Is there anything you want? I'll buy it for you."

"I don't want anything. Don't spend money recklessly or you'll be hungry again."

Xiao Ezi shook her head like a rattle, fearing that Er Gouzi would spend money recklessly.

"Okay! I won't spend money recklessly!"

Er Gouzi flicked Xiao Ezi's forehead.

Xiao Ezi was probably the only relative he had in the world.

As for Zhang Youxin, who was standing behind Xiao Ezi and glaring at him, he would not beat him today for Xiao Ezi's sake.

After Er Gouzi said goodbye to Xiao Ezi, he looked at the ragged tenant children in the fields. He had also lived this way in the past few years.

Now that he had a mountain and a mysterious gourd, he should not be hungry in the future, right?

He patted his warm cotton coat and walked towards Sanchazi Town.
