Qiao Sanshi replied: "Old chief, my elders have taught me that cultivators should devote themselves to practice and should not get too involved with the secular world.
In the past, when the country was in crisis, people of my generation went out to serve the country one after another. Now that the world is at peace and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is natural for us to live in seclusion again and become idlers in the mountains.
Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so forget about settling in the capital. Nowadays, the transportation is convenient. It only takes four or five hours to drive from my place to the capital, which is very convenient. I will visit you several times a year and will bring you some advice when the time comes.
Order fresh grains, fruits, and of course the wine I brew, please try it."
After saying that, Qiao Sanshi saluted the old leader, then turned and left. With a straight waist and long strides, he gradually walked away under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Although he has one hand and one arm, his body is so majestic and majestic that no one can believe that he is an old man in his seventies.
This old man is naturally the Du Miao Qiao Sanshi of the Qingxuan Sect.
Qiao Sanshi also had a difficult life.
He was born with the spiritual roots of earth and wood, and he was very smart. He was favored by Taoist Taoists since he was a child. He taught him how to read, digit, and strengthen his body, which laid a good foundation for his future practice. Unfortunately, he had not yet started formal practice.
One of his arms was chopped off by the Japanese and he became permanently disabled.
After the Qingxuan Sect suffered a catastrophe, Taoist Degui made an exception and accepted Qiao Sanshi as his disciple and passed on the Taoist traditions of the Qingxuan Sect to him. However, Taoist Degui then generously went to justice and died with his enemies.
As a result, Qiao Sanshi became the sole leader of the Qingxuan Sect and shouldered the important task of revitalizing the Qingxuan Sect.
At this time, he has not yet started practicing cultivation. Although he controls the center of the Qingxuan Secret Realm, let alone restarting the secret realm, even he himself cannot enter the secret realm due to insufficient cultivation.
For more than a year after that, Qiao Sanshi continued to practice in the mountains with the support of his family. Every four or five days he would go down the mountain to go home. After resting for a day or two, he would go back to the mountain with dry food.
Fortunately, his family's conditions are quite good. Not only does he have dozens of acres of thin farmland passed down from his ancestors' land reclamation, but he also has a water mill, which can supplement his family's income. Although his family is not a big family, there is still no problem in supporting him alone.
Because Qiao Sanshi had a good foundation in cultivation, and with the help of the few pills he brought out from the secret realm, he quickly entered the Qi-nourishing stage, and during this period he continuously broke through the realms, reaching the third level of the Qi-nourishing stage.
The Qi-nourishing period is the transitional stage between ordinary people and cultivators, which is equivalent to the innate state of warriors. The earth world is in the end of time and Dharma era, and cultivation is not easy, so people who enter the Qi-nurturing period are included in the scope of cultivators.
In a place like Ancestral Star, those who are in the Qi Refining Stage are equal to ordinary people. Only those who have entered the Tao through martial arts and are at the initial level of the Qi Refining Stage, or ordinary monks who have reached the intermediate level of the Qi Refining Stage or above, are considered true cultivators.
Therefore, the Qi-nurturing stage is actually not difficult. As long as you have certain talents and cultivation resources, you can pass the Qi-nurturing stage very quickly. At most, you will encounter some stumbling blocks when you are preparing to break through to the Qi-refining stage.
Gao Xingyu began to practice formally at the age of seven, reached the innate realm at the age of ten, and broke through the realm at the age of twelve to enter the Qi refining stage.
Gao Xingyu took the route of entering Taoism through martial arts, which was much more difficult than the Qi-nurturing period, but it only took him five years to transform from a mortal to a cultivator.
Qiao Sanshi's own attributes are consistent with the inheritance of the Qingxuan Sect, and he also takes a shortcut in cultivation (from the Qi-nourishing stage to the Qi-refining stage). At this stage, cultivators have a need for external resources, such as spiritual land, Yuan Gathering Formation and elixirs.
Not high.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, even if Qiao Sanshi's talent is far inferior to Gao Xingyu's, the time when he enters the Qi refining stage should not be too far behind him.
However, Qiao Sanshi's unlucky attributes broke out again. After practicing An Xin for more than a year and Qiao Sanshi successfully entered the third level of the Qi Nourishing Stage, he encountered another huge change.
The Japanese soldiers here suffered heavy casualties before. Several teams stationed here disappeared in groups, and several civilian strangers who accompanied the army also disappeared.
Especially among the missing was the ninja Momochi Koji, who was a key member of the army hired by the military from several foreign families in the country at a great cost.
This group of people were all powerful factions from major families and were assigned to different armies by the military department, mainly to defend themselves against the intrusion of ordinary armies by Chinese monks.
Therefore, the military attaches great importance to the disappearance of Koji Momochi.
However, Koji Momochi and the Japs squadron led by him have been completely wiped out. Under the huge power of the Flame Burning Talisman, the goal of "seeing people alive or dead" will definitely not be achieved.
Moreover, the Japs' front was advancing rapidly some time ago, and the strategic focus continued to move forward. Therefore, the joint investigation of this matter by the military and the Baidi clan has been proceeding slowly and secretly.
More than a year later, when the war was in a stable period, the investigation suddenly accelerated. After it was determined that the matter was caused by Chinese monks and that it could not be pursued further, the military ordered a raid on several surrounding villages and towns to avenge the dead Japanese soldiers.
Qiaojiazhai was naturally the first one to be affected. After Qiao Sanshi came down from the mountain, it was already devastated. Everyone in the village was slaughtered and the entire village was set on fire. Qiao Sanshi's family was not spared either.
Qiao Sanshi left the razed Qiaojiazhai, ran to the county seat, and secretly killed two lone Japanese soldiers and several traitors.
However, he was young, weak, and had obvious features (one-armed), so he was quickly discovered by the Japanese and wanted and hunted down.
Qiao Sanshi was forced to leave his hometown. In order to take revenge, he traveled to northern Shaanxi and participated in the revolution.
Although Qiao Sanshi was young and one-armed, he was smart, talented, and one of the only recruits who could read. Therefore, he quickly stood out and became an orderly for the leader of his unit.
This leader is Mr. Lin whom he just visited.
From then on, Qiao Sanshi truly embarked on the road of revolution. He showed great courage and made great achievements many times.
After the victory of the revolution, he gave up continuing to develop in the military and government, but chose to return to his hometown, start a family and start a business, and chose farming to make a living.
In his bones, he has always regarded himself as a cultivator. After the revenge is over, he will naturally return to the right path of cultivation. The Qingxuan Sect with a history of thousands of years still expects him to pass it on.
However, he was injured many times during the war, some of which had damaged his cultivation foundation. Coupled with the serious lack of cultivation resources in his hands, his cultivation speed was extremely slow.
Until now, he has just entered the seventh level of the Qi Cultivation Stage, and is far away from the Qi Refining Stage that can open the secret realm. If there is no special opportunity, I am afraid that he will never be able to return to the secret realm.
After Qiao Sanshi got married, he had a son and a daughter. The daughter has married outside and the son is with her. The third generation also has a son and a daughter. Qiao Wenliang and Qiao Wenqian are both studying in middle schools in the county.
He also has a granddaughter, Xiao Yaqi, who is the oldest of the third generation and is currently attending university in the capital.
