Chapter 34: Same thing but different people(1/3)
This is different from what Hun Xiu thought.
After Xiaojiang Shen left the boundary of Licheng from the north, he did not go directly to He'an County, but first went to the east of the mountain city of He'an County.
In the early morning of the next day.
Arrive at the border of mountain city.
He also left the official road and came to a big tree in the forest.
This big tree is a plum tree.
I heard from my husband that he once had a good friend who liked to eat red fruits.
Everywhere he goes, this friend will look for the sweetest red fruits.
Among them, just outside the mountain road next to the mountain city, this century-old tree is the best, and it bears the sweetest fruit in the Wu Dynasty.
The fruiting time is not the usual June and July, but May and November, and the fruiting occurs twice a year.
Because this old tree was born in this small spiritual place, and is between the mortal world and the spiritual world, under this wonderful balance at this moment, it bears the best fruit in the world.
In the end, it may only take a small chance to start practicing.
But my husband said that the predisposition for spiritual enlightenment does not lie with him.
When Xiaojiang Shen thought of this, he suddenly thought that during the few days when he transformed, he had heard his teacher say in a daze that if anyone passed by the old fruit tree while traveling north, if there were still fruits on the tree, he should pick two of them.
I will send it to Daoist Xiong when I arrive in Jiangfu, Wujiang.
Xiaojiangshen thought about it at this moment, and also looked at this old tree.
It’s just that the season has not yet come, and the fruits above are not yet ripe.
He looked left and right, and then just sat under the tree, waiting for the fruit to ripen.
However, this wait is only half a month.
Wait for the red fruits to ripen this morning.
Xiaojiangshen carefully picked off two of them, put them into his small cuff, and protected them with water aura.
Then he hugged the old tree again.
There was no movement in the old tree, only the occasional chirping of birds could be heard from the branches.
Xiaojiangshen looked at the old tree that had opened the spirit. He didn't know what the reason was, so he just continued walking north.
Again that afternoon.
He arrived a hundred miles away in He'an County.
At this moment, he was walking on the mountain road, kicking a pebble to play, when he suddenly noticed bursts of cold air in front of him.
GuluGulu—
The stone continued to roll forward and landed at the feet of a military judge with a cold face.
Behind him were twelve undercover agents, who also looked at Xiao Jiangshen with majestic expressions.
Xiao Jiang Shen thought he had done something wrong and wanted to go forward and take the pebble back.
"Slow down!" The military judge stretched out his hand to stop him. When he saw Xiao Jiangshen not moving, he clasped his fists with caution and said politely: "This is a forbidden area in the mountain city. Fellow Taoists, please go around it."
Wu Pian said, also extremely cautious.
Because this little monk looks too young, he must be from a famous family.
I don’t know which great foundation-building monk this is, or the disciple of some great priest, so it’s better to be polite.
"Ah? Why do you have to go around?" Xiao Jiang Shen was also very puzzled when he heard Wu Ban asked him to go around. "Sir, you didn't say you can't go here."
"Sir?" After hearing this, Judge Wu looked at Xiao Jiangshen carefully. When he found that he could only see that Xiao Jiangshen was a monk, but could not see Xiao Jiangshen's true body and legs, he couldn't help but ask more cautiously:
"May I ask your husband's name?"
"My husband's surname is Ning." Xiao Jiangshen replied truthfully: "I heard from my husband that this road is the shortest, so I took this road."
‘Ning? Taoist Master Ning?’ Wu Pan’s heart tightened, and he exchanged glances with the equally surprised and uncertain crowd around him.
This little monk can't see clearly, he is most likely a disciple of Taoist Master Ning!
Otherwise, how could a monk at such a young age achieve such a mastery in Qi training? And how could he be prevented from detecting the secret methods of the Yin Division?
But if he is a disciple of Taoist Ning, then everything makes sense.
Since it was a matter involving an expert, Judge Wu did not dare to relax. Instead, he carefully explored and confirmed: "May I ask my friend, is that gentleman Ning He, Taoist Ning?"
"Yeah!" Xiao Jiangshen nodded.
When Wu Pan and others heard the answer, they didn't say anything more. Instead, they turned sideways and stepped out of the mountain road: "Please!"
"No, no, no!" Xiao Jiangshen saw that they let him go because of his husband, but he refused to leave.
Because if I do something wrong, others will blame my husband.
But he was also curious about why the area around He'an County was under martial law, so he cautiously said: "Your Majesty! What happened here?"
"There is something." Wu Pan saw that Xiao Jiangshen looked completely unaware, and thought that he was Taoist Master Ning's disciple, but he very carefully informed Master Xu about Shan Feng.
p>
Xiao Jiangshen listened, knowing that Magistrate Xu wanted to be granted a good seal, but he really didn't expect to be on guard.
But today he knows and understands that before he knows someone else’s Shanfeng, if he is not familiar with the Shanfeng monk, it’s better not to disturb him.
Xiaojiang Shen Nian had these things in mind, so he declined the invitation from Judge Wu and did not take the liberty to disturb Magistrate Xu.
And before leaving, he thought for a while and took out a fruit and gave it to the military judge to express his apology.
Wu Pan originally wanted to refuse, but did not dare to accept the fruit of the master's disciple.
But when I saw it, I realized it was an ordinary fruit, so I took it with a smile.
Xiaojiang Shen cupped his fists and saluted, showing great respect to Wu Pan and other priests.
Because the priests were all people of great merit and good deeds during their lifetime.
After saluting, Xiaojiangshen continued heading north.
After Wu Pan returned the gift and waited for Xiao Jiang Shen to leave, he took a bite of the fruit amidst the curious looks of the crowd.
Under the erosion of the Yin evil spirit, the plum disappeared without a trace in an instant, but it also gave Wu Pan a taste.
"Sir?" Yin Chai and others looked at it, wondering how delicious the fairy fruit given by this master's disciple was?
Wu Pan nodded after reminiscing, and said, "Well, it's indeed a spiritual fruit, it's quite sweet."
The words fell, followed by the word "spirit".
Wu Ping didn't feel anything.
Yin Cha also takes it for granted.
But in the forest outside the official road, the branches of the old trees swayed slightly, as if a spirit quietly awakened, and then fell into silence after a while.
And as time goes by.
Xiaojiangshen, who took a long detour, also arrived in Dayang City five days later.
After he arrived here, he did not go to watch the duel between Jianghu people, but went to the official road outside the north of the city.
He heard from his husband that there were many cloth merchants in the north, and among them was a kind-hearted merchant named Li Xingshang, who knew the shortest way to the north.
If we can follow him, then the group will not take any long detours in the future.
And he also wanted to meet Li Xingshang.
It was like walking along the way and seeing the Huai County porridge stall mentioned by the teacher, seeing the old trees, and seeing He'an County from a distance. I felt like I had achieved my wish, and I was happy to hear what I saw.
It's a pity that Xiao Jiangshen waited for two days at the edge of Dayang City and did not wait for Li Xingshang.
But Xiao Jiang Shen also knew that if he continued to wait for five days, ten days, a month, or several months, he would definitely be able to wait and see the Li Xingshang that the gentleman mentioned.
Because Li Xingshang was a merchant from two cities, and people from Wujiang City also loved the cloth and silk from Dayang City.
Then one day I will come to Dayang City and pass by this must-pass official road outside the city.
But if he continues to wait, it will be obsession, and it is definitely not his original intention.
This is not fate.
And although the red fruits are protected by the water spirit, they will lose their flavor over time.
Xiaojiangshen thought about it and looked at the fruit in his pocket. At this moment, he understood another sentence, which is: 'Don't force yourself to live in peace and contentment'
Along the way, he gained a lot of insights and learned a lot.
Then continue walking north!
And it was also four days after Xiao Jiangshen left.
Taoist Fang and Soul Cultivator, who took a long detour, also arrived at Dayang City.
The soul cultivator will say goodbye first, prepare to go back and tidy up the mansion, then explain a little bit to the master, and finally invite friends over.
To be continued...
