Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 209 Cultivating the Heart
Li Lijun looked at Lu Siyun's dazed and dull face, picked up the tea bowl and lowered his head to take a sip of tea, while hiding his uncontrollable smirk.

In fact, she didn't expect that Lu Siyun would be used to hearing his grandfather's stories about how to identify liars and magic sticks since he was a child. When she heard her talking about cultivating immortals, she subconsciously felt that she was lying.After realizing that she was too young to be a liar, Lu Siyun felt that she had been cheated, and tried to persuade her not to pay attention to the liar's lies.

At that time, Nanny Lu stared at him, wishing to scold him.However, he seemed to be firm in his thoughts, and he was afraid that a few curses would not convince him.

Li Lijun simply showed him the facts.Nothing can prove that she is not a liar than when he himself becomes a tool for casting spells.

Lu Siyun clearly knew that he hadn't done any hands or feet on his body, and that he wasn't hung by any ropes. He was indeed more than three feet above the ground, and his body was completely suspended.Apart from cultivating family spells, is there any other explanation for this kind of thing?
Sure enough, after using this simple imperial technique, Lu Siyun shut up.

Then Li Lijun explained to him and Aunt Zhao what spiritual roots are, what kind of spiritual roots they are, what advantages and disadvantages they may have if they want to practice, how she plans to arrange them... all explained clearly one by one, and finally Don't forget to ask: "Are you willing to practice with me?"

Lu Siyun was in a daze for a long time, but now he came to his senses: "Why do you ask this, little lady? Can we not practice with you?"

Li Lijun smiled and said: "It is useless to rely on others to force you to practice this kind of thing. You need to be willing to do it yourself. Otherwise, no matter how you practice, it is impossible to achieve results. If you are not willing, I will not force you. You It doesn’t matter if you’re willing to stay and do things for me, or you’re willing to go back to where you came from, it’s up to you.”

Lu Siyun hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "If I stay... will I be able to cultivate successfully? The little lady said just now that even if you have reached the high level of Qi refining, you can call the wind and call the rain, as long as you don't build a foundation within a hundred years old , that will still die like a mortal. But for cultivation, many things will be delayed. I can no longer be with my parents and relatives like before. It may be more troublesome to marry a daughter-in-law, and it may not be easy to take care of children. He may still encounter many dangers and do a lot of things that I don't need to do... If I have done so much and I still can't build a foundation in the end, then in my life...won't it be that I have not accomplished anything , did you live in vain?"

Li Lijun raised his eyebrows, thinking that this young man is indeed smarter than ordinary people, at least he still has the ability to think independently, instead of blindly following the arrangements of his relatives around him.

The smile on her face became more sincere: "Yes, these are all the prices that practitioners may have to pay, so I let you consider for yourself whether you are willing to practice with me. If you have not made up your mind, you are reluctant to part with ordinary people. life, I will not force you. Cultivation is also cultivating the mind, if the mind is not settled, you will not be able to achieve results, and it is just a waste of time and resources to do it reluctantly."

Lu Siyun pursed his lips tightly, and his small face was wrinkled.

Nanny Lu couldn't help scolding: "You child, what are you thinking so much about?! Could the little lady still harm you?! She is practicing herself! Such a great good thing, other people can't dream of it." No, but you have pie on your head, and you still hate this, you really want to piss me off!"

Lu Siyun wept and said to her: "Auntie, this matter is related to my grandson's life, how can my grandson make a decision rashly?"

Li Lijun waved his hand at Nanny Lu: "It's okay, Nanny, let him think about it, don't rush it. This is his own life, and he should make up his own mind. Otherwise, he will regret it in the future. Blame it on you and me?"

Nanny Lu closed her mouth depressedly, and couldn't help but glared at Lu Siyun again.

Li Lijun turned to look at Aunt Zhao: "You heard what I said just now. You have been silent all this time, do you have any thoughts in your heart?"

"Slave..." Aunt Zhao hesitated to speak, her little face flushed quickly, but she couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

She is only 11 years old this year, she is a little girl like a dough ball, her skin is extremely fair, her eyes are big and dark, she is already a beauty at such a young age.It's just that she looks timid and timid, she has no idea in her actions, and it makes people worry.

Erhong did the spirit test for her, and just took her over from the forest farm in person, so she is familiar with her. Seeing that she was speechless for a long time, she couldn't help but worry for her: "You hurry up!" Say it! The little lady is the most kind, if you have any thoughts, just say it, don't hold back!"

Aunt Zhao bit her lip, lowered her head, blushed, and said in a very small voice: "Slave...can you...give it up...grother..."

Li Lijun's hearing is very good, and he heard what she said clearly, but he didn't understand what she meant: "What do you want to give your brother?"

Aunt Zhao's face turned even redder, and her head hung lower: "Slave...stupid...can't talk, brother is smarter...you can learn everything faster than a slave..."

Li Lijun understood: "You want to give up the opportunity to practice to your brother?" She looked at Erhong, "Have you tested her brother?"

"It's been tested, and her brother has no spiritual roots." Erhong was a little annoyed, "Her brother is still weak and sick, and can't do physical work at all, so he was not selected for the guard group." She stretched out her finger and poked Aunt Zhao's forehead. , "Do you think this is an ordinary errand? You can let it go at will? If your brother has a spiritual root, I didn't need you to ask him, and I called him over. If he didn't call him, it means he doesn't have the talent. You You just need to answer whether you are willing to practice with the little lady, what else are you talking about? Could it be that you really take your mother's words seriously?!"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao couldn't help bowing her head and sobbing softly.

Erhong rolled her eyes and explained to Li Lijun what was going on.

It turned out that Mrs. Zhao had a brother who was a compatriot, and they were twins, but when she was born, she was in good health, while her brother was weak and thin.Her mother felt that she caused her brother to be like this, and she didn't want to see her since she was a child.The two brothers and sisters have been handsome since they were young. When the forest farm was still owned by the Dou family, the husband of the Dou family often came to play and escape the summer heat.Mr. Zhao was worried that some nobleman would call his grandchildren for fun when he saw his grandchildren, so he didn't allow them to go out.So the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family were kept in the house. The elder brother became weaker and sicker, and the younger sister became more timid and fearful.When they got older and the house could no longer hide people, Mr. Zhao sent them to his in-laws to hide.It wasn't until the forest farm changed hands, the family moved to a new yard, and it was New Year's Eve that Mr. Zhao took his grandchildren back. He thought that the new owner was a young lady, so he shouldn't have to be afraid anymore.

The lady of the Zhao family is partial, and when she heard that her daughter was chosen by the young master to be a maid, she suggested that her daughter give up the opportunity to her elder brother.Because Zhao Dalang is weak and sick, he can't do physical work on the forest farm, if he can't get a good job, he will have a hard time getting ahead in his life, and he won't be able to talk about marriage in the future.In contrast, Aunt Zhao was born with a good appearance, as long as she married a good husband in the future, she would not have to worry about making a living.

When Erhong heard this, she didn't even bother to talk to this stupid woman, and said directly that the young lady wanted to pick a maid instead of a manservant, so she brought her back.Unexpectedly, the person brought it back, but Aunt Zhao was too influenced by her mother, and she even said that she would give her brother the opportunity to cultivate immortality, which is really pissing off!

Li Lijun was dumbfounded.

Sure enough, training manpower is not that easy.To cultivate one's mind, one must first cultivate one's mind. Before teaching newcomers to practice, she should correct their mentality first.
