Ji Yuan got off the bed and smelled the fragrance of flowers floating in the courtyard. This fragrance is fresh and elegant. Although it is not magical, it can calm the mind and calm the mind. At least the people here in Tianniufang sleep very soundly at night. , Ji Yuan himself slept too, otherwise the dreams he had in the past six months would not have been so comfortable. In the first half of the dream, the main focus was on mental cultivation, and in the second half, the awareness seemed to be absent or not, and he did not know whether he was practicing.
However, I felt very good after getting up, and it should be considered effective.
He opened his sleeves and looked at his arms. Although he was a little thinner, he was not exaggerated. Although the energy of the five elements in his body is still a trickle now, it is better than the spiritual perfection of the five elements. He is endless and can breathe in and out in his sleep. In the case of spiritual energy, it can replenish the vitality of the five elements and nourish the whole body, at least it will not be so easy to starve to death.
I tied my long, loose hair into a bun, took an ink jade hairpin from the bedside, and put it in place. I wore it in front and behind my temples to have its own charm. It is estimated that many young people did not understand this skill in the previous life.
If you look closely at this black jade hosta, you will find that the jade quality is so clear that even the vendor who originally sold it to Ji Yuan would not recognize it as the inferior hosta it once was.
Maybe it’s the influence of Wugu’s body, or maybe Wugu himself was born due to some changes in himself. Ji Yuan doesn’t think too much about it. He only knows that the advantage is that he saves the effort of washing up a lot of time, and everything is in his hands. It has become much more durable. At least he now has three sets of clothes, one white, one gray, one green, and none of them have been worn out.
Putting on his coat, he took the brocade bag containing the paper crane and stuffed it into his arms. Ji Yuan walked towards the door, the ivy sword floating beside the bed followed him.
Opening the door, the bright sunshine shines in. Look at the jujube trees in bloom outside. There are swarms of bees flying in the trees, collecting this extraordinary pollen.
Ji Yuan can eat less, but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t like to eat. It also doesn’t mean that he won’t feel hungry. Although this feeling can be weakened or even eliminated, eating is one of Ji Yuan’s major tasks in life. Fun will never be given up.
For example, the jujube honey brewed from the jujube trees in my yard is not the best in the world, but it certainly has a unique flavor. There are probably no beekeepers near Ning’an County, so it is probably wild bees.
“I wonder where this honeycomb is?”
Hearing this, the paper crane in the brocade bag in his arms arched toward the outside, and a small paper head popped out, tilting his head to look up at his master. Ji Yuan also looked down with emotion. .
“You know?”
As soon as he asked this question subconsciously, the paper crane started to move a lot. In a few moments, he got out of the bag of tricks very skillfully and spread his wings to fly.
“Hey, hey, stop it, stop it.”
Ji Yuan looked dumbfounded at the little paper crane who couldn’t wait to be the leader.
“The jujube flower has just bloomed, and even making honey is not something that happens just now. Let’s do it next time!”
Actually, Ji Yuan can also find the location of the hive by following the route that the bees take to fly back. That was just what he said casually.
The courtyard gate of Ju’an Xiaoge has not been opened for half a year. People in the county have probably always thought that Ji Yuan was not there. The second child of the Yin family is about to be born. Master Yin will write a letter. Most of them are here. The county government keeps it.
Ji Yuan went straight out to visit the county government office, and sure enough he found three letters pressed there, two from Yin Qing and one from Yin Zhaoxian.
After returning from a meal outside, Ji Yuan sat in the courtyard of Ju’an Pavilion and opened three letters.
The former’s first letter not only talks about the life of Taoist Academy, but also mentions his unborn brother or sister in the second half. The lines show that he has complicated feelings, and he also asks whether Ji Yuan will go there. Wanzhou, if you go, when will you leave?
The second letter was written almost two months ago. It should be a letter to a friend in the county. He learned that Ji Yuan “went away”, so he wrote to tell Ji Yuan that he would first go with three friends from the academy. I went to Wanzhou for a study tour. I hope Mr. Ji can come too.
Yin Zhaoxian’s letter directly invites his friend Ji Yuan to Wanzhou and invites him to attend the full moon wine or the hundred-day banquet later. If Ji Yuan goes there early, he will have the full moon wine. If Ji Yuan goes late, he will have the full moon wine. At the 100-day banquet, the hope that Ji Yuan could go could not be more obvious.
“Huo, if I don’t go now, Master Yin won’t break off our relationship with me, right?”
Yin Zhaoxian has a great sense of righteousness, and the wife he spends day and night with will not have any unstable fetal conditions. She must have been pregnant in ten months and was born at full term. Ji Yuan counted with his fingers, and there is still almost a month left. .
Since this is the case, I don’t want to waste time planning my fate. I go into the house to pack my things. I don’t have much to bring. Apart from books, I just have pen, ink, paper, inkstones and two other sets of clothes.
The past few years have not been in vain. At least some insights have been gained from the Qiankun art in the sleeves. Although I don’t know that it is only in the year of the monkey that we can achieve the envisioned stage of “sending things and weaving them, showing thousands of changes, and devouring all things and returning”. , but at least I have understood some principles of “change”. It is a change of body and a change of storage. It is very different from the ordinary method of collecting things in the universe by simply storing things and hiding things.
Naturally, as your practice progresses, the amount of things you can hold will increase, and you can still squeeze them in.
Then he left the small pavilion without leaving Zhihe at home. This time he simply did not tell Hu Yun and Lu Shanjun about his movements. Anyway, the two of them were practicing fairly safely in the mountains…
According to the records of “Baifu Tongjian”, Lishun Prefecture in Wanzhou has beautiful scenery and rich products, especially Wanzhou’s silk weaving industry, which is the best in the world. At least in the era when the book was written, it can be said to be a well-rounded government and people.
But in today’s era, if it were a story told by a certain storyteller, the word “once” would have to be added to the opening stage of Wanzhou’s past.
The huge profits of Wanzhou Dadi Silk Industry have driven Wanzhou’s economy, but over time it has also brought about huge problems, which can be summed up in two words: greed and profit.
Wealthy merchants colluded with some officials to annex land and plant mulberry trees for profit, but this failed to bring any benefits to the farmers who lost their land. This led to widespread resentment among the people in many places in Wanzhou. This resentment in the hearts of the people has accumulated over time and often breeds evil. It is also one of the origins of the ancient saying that in troubled times, there must be evil spirits at work.
On this day, there were four scholars carrying book boxes on their backs on the mountain road. They were wearing turbans and blue gowns stained with mud. They were the four students from Huiyuan Academy, namely Yin Qing and Lin Xinjie. , Lei Yusheng and Mo Xiu.
Being able to attend Jizhou Yin Gong’s newborn banquet was a very prestigious event, so Yin Qing just invited him politely, and the other three people immediately agreed.
For this kind of thing, it is impossible to apply for a study tour to the academy chief and the masters, so it is impossible to fail, so there is a situation where a whole group of friends travel together.
“Oh, this road is really difficult to walk on. Mo Xiu, you really made us Mo Xiu. You just chose this road!”
Lin Xinjie complained for an unknown number of times.
People couldn’t hold back their words after being spoken about, and they couldn’t help but retort.
“When I suggested climbing Datong Mountain, didn’t you agree most favorably? What are you talking about, admiring spring flowers in the forest, hiking in the mountains, and now it’s all my fault?”
“Hey, okay, okay, everyone agreed at that time, it’s not just about taking shortcuts.”
Lin Xinjie immediately changed the direction of attack with his lips and tongue.
“Yusheng, you still have the nerve to say, if you hadn’t forced the driver to change the route to see the inkstone workshop, we would have taken too many detours and wasted too much time, and finally had to go here!”
“You’re right, I’m not suggesting that we go this way. If we don’t go this way, it would take us more than a month to go back to Lishun Mansion!”
“You…”
Lei Yusheng was speechless by the two people, and Yin Qing hurriedly came out to ease the atmosphere.
“Don’t say it, don’t say it. It’s not what we wanted it to be. Who knew that a section of the mountain road on Datong Mountain would collapse, making it impossible for carriages to pass, otherwise it would be a beautiful thing to watch the inkstone and enjoy the mountain flowers!”
“Yes, yes, that’s right!”
Lei Yusheng quickly agreed.
“Hey…this is a natural disaster, we can expect it.”
“Yes, crimes other than war…”
Yin Qing shook his head and smiled.
“Let’s go, let’s stop sighing. I’ve talked too much and I’m tired of going. We’ve prepared a lot of things. We just need to survive it and get out of Datong Mountain. It only takes seven or eight days to walk along the mountain road. ”
Although Datong Mountain is deserted, there is a mountain road that is not too wide. In the early years, it was the golden road when Wanzhou’s weaving industry started. However, nowadays, silk and other items are mostly transported by water transportation and other roads that are convenient for large-scale shipments. This golden road gradually fell into disuse, and fewer and fewer people walked it.
But the road is still there, and you won’t get lost if you follow it. There are some deserted post stations between the leeward mountain walls along the way. Although most of them have long been empty, they can still provide travelers with a place to rest.
The four of them walked and finally saw a deserted post on the hillside ahead, half embedded in the hillside, with a trace of smoke coming out, as if someone was lighting a fire.
“Walk around, I’m exhausted, I’ll sleep there tonight!”
“Come on, hurry up, there seems to be someone there, see if you can ask for a bowl of hot water!”
“Yes, yes!”
Even Yin Qing, the four of them were refreshed and walked forward quickly. As if they heard footsteps and voices, two people with hatchets hidden behind their backs came out of the gate of Huangyi, with expressions on their faces. He looked at the intruders warily and felt relieved when he saw that they were four scholars. He turned around and returned to the deserted post.
Although there are some tables and chairs in Huangyi, it is still relatively empty, about five feet square, which is almost the same space of 200 square meters that Ji Yuan used to have in his previous life. There are still a dozen people inside, and some large backpacks are piled in the corner. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan． The com was covered with coir raincoats, bamboo hats and other items. Judging from their attire, these people must be traveling merchants.
“Uncle Lu, the four scholar-looking people coming from outside are wearing long gowns and carrying book boxes. They look like they have red lips and white teeth. They should be Zhenxiu students.”
The two people who came in reported to the people inside.
“Well, sit down.”
Not long after, Yin Qing and four other people also entered Huangyi. When they saw more than a dozen people inside, and when they saw that almost everyone had a hatchet at hand, and they all paid attention to the four of them, they suddenly felt excited. .
Yin Qing looked at her friend and had no choice but to take a step forward.
“I am a scholar who came here to study. The mountain road is difficult to travel. I want to take shelter from the wind and rest here. I wonder if you can do it conveniently?”
An older man with gray hair gave Yin Qing a big look and then said.
“The inn is spacious, and the dozen of us merchants can’t take up much space. Please help yourself, gentlemen!”
“Thank you!”
As soon as Yin Qing cupped his hand, the three people beside him also hurriedly saluted together.
“Thank you! Thank you, thank you!”
“Rumble…”
Suddenly there was a thunder outside, which scared the two scholars outside and said “ouch”, and also made some businessmen laugh.
“It’s going to rain…”
The foot merchant took the lead and said something.
