MTL - The Fairy Just Wants To Lie Down-Chapter 2 living immortal
Chapter 2 Living Immortal
In the early morning, today's weather is not bright.
A new guest came to Li Yi's ward. He was a man with handsome features. With the gold-rimmed glasses on his face, he looked like an urban elite.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Si saw Li Yi sitting cross-legged on the bed, exactly the same as the meditation practice in the TV series.
Hearing the movement, Li Yi slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Zhao Si, and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhao Si looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar brothers in front of him, with mixed feelings, more joy and excitement.
"Brother Yi is me, Zhao Si."
"Zhao... Si?" Li Yi first showed doubts, and then his mind was overwhelmed, and the long-term memories continued to emerge. The picture had long been blurred, but he could never forget it.
"Are you Zhao Si?"
The man in a suit and leather shoes in front of him is hard to associate with the pot-headed glasses back then. But if you look closely for a while, your eyebrows can reflect Zhao Si back then.
"Zhao Si! What a boy, he has become tall, rich and handsome! Tsk tsk tsk, tall and handsome in a suit and leather shoes, he has completely counterattacked, what are you doing now?"
"I majored in psychology in college, and now I'm a psychiatrist." Zhao Si pulled a stool and sat beside him, and the two chatted very naturally, as if they were 10 years ago.
"When I graduated, I just caught up with the hospital reform. The benefits of public hospitals have dropped significantly, and private hospitals can't meet the requirements. I simply didn't go to the hospital and opened my own clinic. I mainly provide psychological counseling for people on weekdays. Most of the patients are Some children and rich landowners, and even some entertainers. It's the same as what you said back then..."
Li Yi immediately picked up: "Most people who see a private psychiatrist seek peace of mind, just like seeking Buddha in a temple."
"Hahaha, yes, if you really have a mental illness, you should go to a regular hospital. Private clinics like mine don't have many medical devices except for the privacy. But given the current social environment, more and more people need psychological counseling. I'm catching up. It’s the wind of the times.”
Li Yi asked curiously, "Why?"
"My old Qin is suffering." Zhao Si beat his chest. Although he is not from old Qin, Li Yi probably understood what the other party meant.
"If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Qi State to enjoy the happiness of Qi people. Unfortunately, it is difficult to obtain citizenship in Qi State, and my parents are reluctant to leave, so I can only continue to stay in Zhou State."
"What's wrong with Qi?"
"Qi State has taken the express train of the Internet, and its economy has taken off. It has the momentum of the economic leaders of the six countries of China. There are many opportunities for development there, but Zhou Guo has basically no possibility of coming back when he goes out."
"I remember back then, didn't you say you were going to return to the Zhou Dynasty? As long as you are the nationality of the six countries, you can freely enter and exit their respective territories."
"The coma collapsed within a few months. Qin Wude was the most vigorous and once fought all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. That year was also the first time they fired the shot. I thought it was a fierce battle." Zhao Si pushed his hands forward and let out a chuckle.
"In one year, the Turks were wiped out, and they went north to the polar regions. In two years, they crossed the Caspian Sea three times. During this period, a very good female general came out. She was called the wolf of Siberia. She was an invincible **** of war. She almost planted the old Qin Xuanqi On the land of Rome. Just like Qi’s Eastern Expedition, attacking the Xiongnu, destroying the sky poison, Ryukyu, and the shogunate. It’s all at this point. Of course, the old Qin people who reorganized the Zhou Dynasty are not willing.”
"You have been in a coma all these years, and my six kingdoms of China's "heavy men" have blown out, as if I have returned to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."
"Speaking of which, you still remember that when we were in junior high school, our school also accepted dozens of war orphans caused by Qi's Eastern Expedition. The class next door to us is the naturalized class, and the monitor of the naturalized class is Bai Shi Xuejian, a tough girl. He fought with us very often." Zhao Si chose to talk about his childhood, hoping to know what Li Yi could recall.
"Girls matured relatively early when we were young, and we were all beaten by her. You were often beaten and cried by her at that time."
.
.
.
In the 1960s, technology was booming, and mobile phones and computers had just begun to become popular. At that time, dial-up was required to access the Internet, and 1M traffic seemed to cost one yuan.
Yucheng Chengbei Street Primary School is located between two villages. It is said that the streets are surrounded by farmland, and there are no buses or private passenger vehicles. A six-story teaching building of the school is the most beautiful building in a radius of ten miles, and most of the students who go to school here are rural children.
Li Yi didn't fit in with the group at that time, because his relative was the director, and he became a librarian at a young age (the school was understaffed). Whenever he had time, he went into the library to read the Taoist scriptures presented by the Taoist temple, and this is where his father's worries about becoming a monk began. In fact, Li Yi didn't read the Taoist scriptures at first. At the beginning, he preferred story clubs, but the children's publications were all the same, not as good as the strange stories recorded in Taoist miscellaneous stories.
Adults see him as a coolie, but in the eyes of elementary school students, he is a great official. For this reason, Li Yi did not miss the candy and spicy sticks in the class, just to pre-order the extremely rare comic books in the library every week. At that time, comic books were all based on donations, and they were all sent from recycling bins, but this did not prevent children from reading them happily.
Among them, the comics of the island country are the most numerous. Due to the annexation by the Qi State, a large number of cultural works from Tiandu Peninsula, Ryukyu, and Fusang poured into China, which had a great impact on the people who were educated in the rituals and music of China at that time.
Li Yi, who is keen on reading Taoist classics, has to admit that these works are really interesting.
Later they were discovered by the education class, and they clashed.
"Li Yi!"
A pair of white and tender hands clapped on Li Yi's desk, making him tremble with fright.
Looking up, I saw a rather lovely facial features, fair skin, long ponytail, and fluent Chinese. Later, Li Yicai realized that the high probability of the naturalization faction being able to speak Chinese from a young age was the aristocrats there, and being able to speak fluent Chinese in the Sifang of China is a sign of nobility.
Her name is Baishi Xuejian, the monitor of the naturalization class. Females develop earlier than males. She is a head taller than Li Yi, and her female features have also begun to develop. At that time, Li Yi thought it was pectoral muscles, so she was very jealous.
"What are you doing?" Li Yi puffed out his chest with a bluff.
Bai Shixuejian said sternly: "Are you relying on your status as a librarian to occupy comic books all the time?"
"How can you defile people's innocence out of thin air?!"
Li Yi suddenly became angry and slapped the table to get up. Soon the two wrestled together. A few seconds later, he was knocked down to the ground, and Bai Shixue saw that sitting on him made him unable to get up.
"Get off!"
"Have you been hogging comic books!"
"Get up and go woo woo woo!"
Li Yi's crying soon attracted the teacher, who took the two of them to the office and scolded them.
After scolding for a few minutes, the teacher looked at Baishi Xuejian and said:
"Xue Jian, I always thought you were a good character student, why did you beat Li Yi? You even went to his class to beat him! Call your parents tomorrow!"
Bai Shixue panicked when she heard that she was called her parents, with tears in her eyes.
"Teacher!" Li Yi raised his hand, "One person does things and one person is responsible. I did it first!"
The teacher was obviously stunned for a moment, and then flew into a rage: "You are still very proud! Call your parents tomorrow. Since it is Li Yi's fault, Xuejian can leave first, it is none of your business here."
Next, after the teacher's investigation and Li Yi's surrender, in order to realize the decentralization of power, the librarian added Bai Shixuejian. At that time, Li Yi felt that his territory had been violated, and he had always had a big prejudice against Bai Shixuejian.
As if Bai Shixuejian didn't notice it, she kept pestering Li Yi to let him read the history book "Overseas Countries" in the library.
"The exam doesn't test these things, what are you learning for?" Li Yi casually flipped through the thick books, most of which were written in classical Chinese, and he was probably the only one who could understand the whole elementary school except for the teacher.
"These countries are gone, and they are nothing more than the civilization derived from China. You can read Chinese well. You can memorize the six countries of China. Chu is in the south, Zhao is in the north, Yan is in the northeast, Qi is in the east, and Qin is in the west. , Han and Wei are in the middle. After modern times, it has become Xia Zaizhong, so why is Xia Zaizhong? Who is missing from the Six Kingdoms?"
"Hmm" Bai Shixue couldn't figure out when she scratched her hair, and asked, "Why?"
"Stupid, because we have occupied all the surrounding land. Originally, the territory of Zhou Kingdom belonged to the seven countries. From the North Pole to the North Pole, from the Luzon Islands to the south, from the Bering Strait to the east, and from the Caspian Sea to the west, we are the land of China. It is the east of the world." Li Yi spread his arms, as if describing the size of China.
"Korea is missing from the other six countries. For a simpler one, which country is the first to go to Fusang?"
"Qin! Emperor Shenwu Xu Fu!" Seeing that he finally encountered a question he understood, Bai Shixue immediately raised his hand to answer it.
"Wrong! You are from Langya of Qi, and Xu Fu is from Qi. You are so stupid, you don't know anything about this and you still want to learn extracurricular knowledge."
"I..." Bai Shixue hesitated for a long time, and then his little face returned to the usual serious expression, acting like a little adult, "People in other classes don't play with our naturalized class, many people call us islanders, I think I know why. Today the Chinese teacher taught that fallen leaves return to their roots, I want to know where my roots are, if I know, can I play with you?"
"What is the root of fallen leaves?" Li Yi asked curiously.
"Want to know?" Bai Shixue raised his head slightly, "Then you have to help me read this book first."
"Forget it, I'll look it up in the dictionary. Falling dead leaves fall on the roots of trees. It is a metaphor for things to have a certain destination. It mostly refers to people who live in other places, and they will eventually."
"You are cheating! Don't check!"
Only when the other party is not good at Chinese and history, Li Yi dares to be arrogant, and at the same time give a little guidance at the other party's request. They fought a few more times in the middle, and they didn't let the teacher know under the third chapter of the agreement, but Li Yi never won.
For this reason, Li Yi rummaged through many Taoist scriptures for the secrets of magical skills, and finally found a book of Wuqinxi. After his magical skills finally took effect (the body began to develop), they graduated from elementary school.
Bai Shixuejian left Yucheng because of the transfer of his parents.
.
.
.
"You were so courageous at the time, you dared to contradict Mrs. Miejue. I would definitely throw the pot on the white stone." Zhao Si said while paying attention to Li Yi's expression. From the beginning to the end, he did not see a trace of doubt or bewilderment. Instead, it is full of nostalgia.
Obviously Li Yi's memory is fine.
"Brother Yi, when I graduated, I remember Xue Jian asked you to go out alone. What did she tell you?"
Li Yi recalled a little bit, only remembering that Bai Shixue was hugging him and crying loudly, but he didn't remember the specifics.
“I just remember she wiped my snot and tears on me, and couldn’t speak clearly.”
"At that time I was peeking in the corner. We didn't understand before, but now I understand that she likes you. Baishi said he likes Brother Yi." Zhao Si said suddenly, and the sudden change of the topic caught Li Yi off guard, and he didn't come up in one breath He choked on his own saliva.
"Ahem, cough, whatever. At that time, you were obviously next to me. I asked you to join me because I was afraid that I would not be able to beat the muscle stone."
He remembered, Bai Shixuejian just said that he was leaving Yucheng that day, and then kept crying and crying, and finally the teacher took her away.
"Hahaha, brother Yi still has a good memory." Zhao Si glanced at the medical record in his hand calmly. Brother Yi has no problems with logic and memory. Why do you say he has severe paranoia?
So far, Li Yi has behaved like a normal person, without any outrageous behavior. But there are many "normal" psychopaths, and they are often very abnormal in some ways.
"Brother Yi, when I came in, I saw you sitting cross-legged on the bed, what were you doing?"
"Meditate to understand the world." Li Yi replied without thinking.
coming.
Zhao Si continued to ask: "Why do you meditate? I heard that Brother Yi, you meditate all day long and rarely lie down. This is not conducive to recovery."
"." Li Yi was silent, he didn't know how to answer Zhao Si, his experience was beyond common sense, even he thought he was dreaming.
"Little Four, would you believe me if I said that I haven't slept in the past ten years and went to another place?"
The vast majority of mental patients do not consider themselves mentally ill.
Zhao Simian replied without changing his face: "I believe in you, can you tell me what you have experienced in the past ten years?"
Psychotherapy can be roughly divided into two types, one is drug treatment, and the other is psychological counseling, that is, speech therapy. As the saying goes, there is no cure for heart disease, and if you want to recover, you still have to rely on words.
Those with hypochondria often cannot distinguish the boundary between reality and illusion. They fabricate a false fantasy for some reason.
However, Zhao Si found that he had underestimated Li Yi. After the other party received his confident answer, he looked at him quietly, as if he had nothing to hide under those calm eyes, whether it was body or heart.
"Little Si, ten years have passed and you are still the same, you won't lie."
"." Zhao Si felt flustered when facing a patient for the first time.
"Heh" Li Yi chuckled, then looked down at the bed sheet, and Shanshan said, "It's not ten years, it's five thousand seven hundred and thirty years. My alias is Li Changsheng. Don’t steal, don’t accept panacea, don’t practice dharma, don’t practice magic weapon. I open the gate of immortality with my sword, step on the Buddhist sect, and overwhelm the world. At first they called me demon, then they called me Taoist of longevity, and then they respected me as a fairy in the world of mortals , a living immortal."
"And now I don't feel a trace of heaven and earth energy."
Cultivation has become his instinct, but it is not suitable for practice in modern times. He has been meditating for so many days and can only absorb a little spiritual energy from heaven and earth. It may take ten years to achieve the standard of introducing Qi into the body to open the spirit platform, and it may not be possible to build a foundation for a thousand years. There is nothing like this in the age of the end of the Dharma.
There is a kind of confusion of not knowing where to go.
Only he knows the practice world, just like he is the only one who knows modern times in the practice world.
"I'm a little confused, maybe it's really my imagination."
"Tell me about it, it's not good to be suppressed by one person." Zhao Si was delighted, it seemed that Brother Yi's assumptions were relatively minor. The hospital judged it as severe delusion probably because of meditation. If you can overcome your physiology, you can sit for a day.
"Okay, you can just listen to a story."
"I was born in an ordinary farming family. I didn't have a way to cross the immortal gate. I just relied on a qi training formula to enter the immortal journey. I followed the path of an ancient qi refiner. I stayed in my hometown until I was a hundred years old. It is said that I am cultivating immortals. A mortal who can refine qi and transform essence doesn't understand anything else, and there have been a lot of jokes in the middle."
Grassroots character design is the same as Yi Ge's reality.
Zhao Si secretly thought, and at the same time continued to ask questions without changing his face, letting the patient continue: "What is the difference between a Qi refiner and an immortal cultivator?"
"Essentially there is no difference, but cultivating immortals pays more attention to competition, law, earth, wealth, six arts of cultivating immortals, etc. Many things need to be learned and competed. Qi refiners only pay attention to refining qi and transforming essence, but it is generally difficult to practice without resources. Cheng Dao. Personally, I am not good at fighting and I don’t like to be busy, so I spend most of my time sitting and forgetting. In my spare time, I refine pills to cure diseases and save lives.”
Li Yi returned to the main topic: "I was born in a peasant family in Qingshui Village. My grandfather used to be a wild Taoist priest who walked the rivers and lakes. He was a kind of cheater and abductee. But I behaved smarter than children of the same age and became a child prodigy in ten miles and eight towns. I go to private school to study"
In the huge ward, only Li Yiyouyou's narration voice remained, and a picture scroll of ancient field songs and cattle herding unfolded to Zhao Si. The emperor's eloquence and stories were very realistic, as if he had really experienced a time travel. One picture after another appeared in his mind, and Li Yi's simple words could make him immediately make up the picture.
The run-down of the farmhouses, the scenery of the countryside, the childhood sweethearts, and the high-spirited examination room
It is called the induction between heaven and man, and the spirit that Li Yi inadvertently emanates affects this room, and words are its medium.
In Li Yi's fictional world, he is a farmer's boy. With his modern memory and adult IQ, he has become a child prodigy in all over the world. He was an 8-year-old boy and a 13-year-old scholar. Visiting Fuchu.
And he has also engaged in marriage since childhood. The youngest daughter of the neighbor's family is beautiful and well-educated. The two of them can be described as childhood sweethearts.
With a career, love, and future, he is simply a winner in life.
Just like before he turned into a vegetable, apart from having no childhood sweetheart, he is basically an enviable existence.
Zhao Si vaguely grasped Li Yi's "cause". He was unwilling to accept that his life was ruined in this way, so he made up a fictional world. Where is his life still dazzling, still high-spirited.
"I thought life would be like this, but something happened. The county magistrate who was close to me was exiled by the new emperor because he stood in the wrong team, and I was also implicated by it and couldn't participate in the scientific examination. My former classmates were alienated from me. Fortunately, my fiancée never gave up on me. In the end, I gave up my official career, went back to the village, married my fiancée and opened a private school, and my life was quite decent.”
Zhao Si secretly thought: The end of an official career is the same as being bumped, and disasters come from the sky.
In the ancient society where everything was low-grade, and only high-educated society, the loss of official career basically meant the end of life. However, Brother Yi later imagined marrying his childhood sweetheart, did it mean that he wanted to open up and live an ordinary life.
"A year later, a few Taoist nuns came to the village, and they were the first immortal cultivators I met."
Zhao Si asked: "You have embarked on a fairy road since then, which makes people look at you with admiration?"
"No." Li Yi shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, "They took my wife away, she seems to have some special physique that is very suitable for cultivation."
"Your wife abandoned you?"
"No, I let her go. Since you can see a wider world, there is no need to be a frog in a well with me. Xi'er is also a very strong person. Her favorite is the Spring and Autumn and Warring States that I told her. I It can be seen that what she yearns for is to gallop the world, not play with husband and child. After getting my consent, she left."
"She took you back to practice later?"
Li Yi still shook his head: "She never came back. She didn't come back until I buried my parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law, and when the house I built with her with half-white hair collapsed when I was over 40."
"Did you never see her again?"
"I see, but." Li Yi raised his head slightly, as if recalling the past, "That was a thousand years later, when I reached the state of refining the gods, she also turned into a gray-haired old man. She hugged me and cried bitterly, and I could smell the old man's smell mixed in her rouge powder, she still cares so much about her own smell."
A picture leaps out, the beautiful wife is already old, and the husband is still a teenager when he finds it.
"She begged me to take her back, and I refused."
"Why?"
"It's been thousands of years, people are gone, houses have collapsed, and my hometown has become a lake. How can there be a home? And she has seen enough prosperity in the world, but I have never seen it. Sichuan, the endless mountains, and the giant tortoises that carry the mountains... I want to see them all."
"I still want to ask if there are immortals in the world? Unfortunately, there are not."
Li Yi smiled, very lightly, but that almost arrogant smile made Zhao Si's breathing stagnate, as if he was really a peerless master who overwhelmed the world.
Strange, very strange.
Li Yi smiled and said with emotion: "The journey to immortality is long, and everyone is a lone seeker. Even if Xi'er comes back to accompany me, there is a high probability that I will leave her in the end. Meeting is fate, and meeting again is a blessing. Dare to ask for too much."
"." Zhao Si was silent, which made him feel depressed, which is not bad.
"Then did Brother Yi become a fairy in the end?"
"No, heaven and earth are not allowed to become immortals. My talent is only so dull that I can only refine the gods and return the emptiness, which is far from refining the emptiness and combining the Tao."
"Then how did Brother Yi embark on the path of cultivation?"
"It's a long story. My grandfather is a Taoist priest. Relying on the classics he doesn't know where he came from and the Taoist scriptures here, I have studied for decades and I finally got the breath into my body."
.
.
.
For the next three days, Zhao Si ran to the hospital, not even taking care of the business of his own clinic.
While communicating with the hospital about the treatment plan, he chatted with Li Yi as a psychiatrist, listening to him tell about his bizarre practice life.
The world Li Yi imagined is different from most patients with similar illnesses. He is not smooth sailing, and the road to immortality can be described as difficult and dangerous. No one introduced him to the practice, so he could only rely on his feelings to practice a little bit. Most of the time he was going astray, and a few times he had a problem with his practice and lay in bed for several years.
He didn't say how great he is, he didn't describe his "great achievements", and he even mentioned some bright moments in his life. On the contrary, Li Yi prefers to tell about his difficult and dangerous journey of exploration. Whenever he talks about if he realizes the solution, his eyes seem to shine.
Maybe because of a guilty conscience, or because I don’t think it’s important.
Li Yi's eloquence is very good, sometimes Zhao Si is not consciously immersed in it, and countless pictures float in his mind.
Zhao Si took his friend's medical record, and the hospital doctor said to him: "Dr. Zhao, you should tell him the reality. According to our observation, Li Yi's condition is better than expected. He has very complete logical thinking and no violence. Tendency. He is more peaceful than anyone and should accept the truth."
The hospital has also been observing their conversation these days, and the hospital has seen Li Yi's sobriety, his logic, and his communicability from the conversation. Li Yi's medical record has changed from a patient with severe delusional disorder to mild, which means that the hospital thinks he is just a normal person with a little delusional disorder.
"You can also discharge him from the hospital without wasting money. It costs more than a hundred thousand a month, what are you planning?"
"How to do it?" Zhao Si asked, he knew exactly how to do it, but he still asked, as if this would relieve the feeling of guilt, obviously he woke up the patient with harsh words more than once before.
"Tell him that ten years have passed, that he is not a fairy, but a vegetable who has been sleeping for ten years."
