Section 68 Shopping
According to Xu Yan's original intention, Zhu Youxiang wanted to sell the gold, and he really wanted to find the "Qin Ji Gold Shop" that had been traded before to sell it - after all, it was a person who had traded once, and Xu Yan felt that the old man surnamed Qin was still quite reliable. It's a pity that when he took Zhu Youxiang back to the Qin Ji Gold Shop on Chang'an Road, he saw that the door of the gold shop was closed, and the gold shop was closed.
"Qin Ji actually didn't open the door?" This was really an unexpected blow, Xu Yan was stunned.
Zhu Youxiang is quite open-minded, she said: "It doesn't matter, it's sold in any store anyway, son, we might as well find another one." ”
Obviously, Zhu Youxiang is right - yellow and clear gold is welcome everywhere. Soon, Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang sold the gold at another gold shop for 250 yuan per gram.
Out of the door of the gold shop, Xu Yan carried a bag of more than 200,000 cash, feeling that the people on the street looked like pickpockets and robbers. According to the old habit before, he wanted to take Zhu Youxiang to the bank to save the money as soon as possible, but Zhu Youxiang waved his hand lightly: "Childe, don't be so troublesome." ”
She took the money bag in Xu Yan's hand, led Xu Yan to a remote street corner, shook her hand, and under Xu Yan's nose, the black money bag containing more than 200,000 cash disappeared at once.
Xu Yan's eyes straightened when he saw it, and it took a while to react - in the past, Zhu Youxiang didn't conjure things out of nothing like this, or the sleeves of the things stored in zài were gone, but at that time, Zhu Youxiang was still wearing ancient costumes after all, and there were a pair of wide long sleeves to cover up, and Xu Yan could still deceive himself and say that Zhu Youxiang hid things in the wide sleeves. But today, Zhu Youxiang is wearing modern clothes, a pair of slacks and a long white shirt, all of which are clearly placed in Xu Yan's eyes, and the huge black money bag cannot be hidden in Zhu Youxiang's shirt sleeve.
Xu Yan stared at Zhu Youxiang and looked at it again: "Xuan Yun, what's going on, where did you put all the money?"
Zhu Youxiang raised his small right hand and shook it in front of Xu Yan, only then did he notice that in Zhu Youxiang's right hand, he was also wearing a fine and small bracelet, which was similar to a watch, not big or small, just right for Zhu Youxiang's fair wrist.
"Xu Gongzi, this is a storage bracelet, I put all the money in it. ”
Xu Yan stared at the bracelet and looked at it, he really couldn't see how Zhu Youxiang could hide the money in that small bracelet. Seeing that Xu Yan was curious, Zhu Youxiang simply took off the bracelet and handed it to Xu Yan: "Son, you might as well take a closer look, it's okay." ”
Xu Yan carefully took the bracelet, and looked at it again and again—looking at the color and weight, the bracelet seemed to be made of silver. The texture is very fine, and there are some very clever patterns and symbols on it, which are densely packed and look very complicated.
He asked Zhu Youxiang tentatively: "Is this the magic weapon of cultivation over there in your Daming?"
"Childe said, this is not a magic weapon, just a very ordinary small carry-on, when you go out, put on some supplies, for convenience. ”
"So, how is this going to work?"
Zhu Youxiang shook her head apologetically, she reached out and took back the bracelet: "Young Master Xu, I haven't made it clear - although this storage bracelet is not a cultivator, it still needs a little aura to drive." Xu Gongzi, you don't have aura at all, I'm afraid you can't use this. ”
Xu Yan sighed in disappointment, Zhu Youxiang took the initiative to mention the aura, but he remembered one more thing: "Xuan Yun, the two books you want me to memorize, the two books of Bailu Zi Xing and Bailu Memorabilia, I have already read them by heart." I wonder when you'll be able to evaluate me?"
Zhu Youxiang glanced at him Xu Yan and said with a faint smile: "It seems that Gongzi is in a hurry to learn to cultivate the truth?"
Xu Yan smiled shyly and admitted: "Yes, that's why I'm in a hurry to take the assessment." ”
Zhu Youxiang smiled faintly - in fact, the so-called assessment is completely a system made up by her, just a formality.
In the Xiuzhen sect, it has always been emphasized that the so-called Tao should not be passed on lightly. Back then, before Zhu Youxiang was admitted to the door wall by the master and officially embarked on the path of cultivation, he also experienced many trials and tests. At that time, she didn't understand it very much, and even thought that the master had a prejudice about her identity, and deliberately embarrassed and made things difficult for herself. But now, five years have passed, but she has gradually understood the deep meaning of her master: the path of cultivating truth, this is a great opportunity, which means that it is completely subverted from the previous life path. Once a mortal embarks on this path, it means that he is about to possess great terrifying power, and will be above ordinary people. Therefore, this often distorts the human heart of the person with such great power, and it is difficult to maintain balance and moderation.
Therefore, it is very prudent for the Xiuzhen sect to accept disciples to pass on their arts, and the first thing that the disciples value is the other party's heart and conduct. Otherwise, if you accept a wicked person to come out and bring disaster to the world, it is also equivalent to the evil created by the master, and it will fall into great cause and effect.
Zhu Youxiang is willing to teach Xu Yan the way of cultivating the truth, firstly, to repay Xu Yan's kindness for helping, and the second and main reason is also because from these days of getting along and contacting, she can feel that Xu Yan has a gentle temperament, is upright and kind, but at a critical time, he also does not lose the courage to fight against the evil forces. This kind and courageous disciple is exactly in line with the requirements of the master for the disciple, so she did not hesitate to risk violating the rules of the sect to teach him the cultivation of the true exercises.
But human nature is always like this, and people always don't cherish what they get too much. If he preaches lightly, he is afraid that Xu Yan will feel that this way of cultivating the truth is very easy, and his mentality will be frivolous, so Zhu Youxiang had to add an assessment level of familiarity with the training of Bailu Academy, so that Xu Yan can understand that the road to cultivation is not easy to come by-In fact, compared to the hardships that Zhu Youxiang endured back then, Xu Yan only has to memorize two books, which is already greatly reduced in difficulty.
Since Xu Yan said that he had memorized the contents of the two books, Zhu Youxiang didn't plan to continue to embarrass him, she laughed softly: "Xu Gongzi is really confident, then, I have to study Gongzi?"
"Hehe, Xuan Yun, just let the horse come!"
"Childe, who is the fifth head of the White Deer Academy?"
Xu Yan hesitated for a moment, he counted his fingers, and replied simply, "It's Mr. Mingguang." He successively served as a gentleman, a tutor, and a tutor at White Deer College, until he countersigned the sacrificial wine, and finally became the head of the academy. ”
Zhu Youxiang nodded, but was noncommittal: "May I ask Childe, what are the deeds of Mr. Mingguang's life?"
"Mr. Mingguang is both civil and military, the author of "Mingguang Land Travel Record", "Siya Collection of Training", "Anli Mountain Poetry Collection" and other works, and Mr. Mingguang has served as the right political participation in the Ming Shaanxi Province, the political envoy of the left, the left squire of the Ming Military Department, the secretary of the military department, the cabinet scholar and other important positions, in the battle to resist the nine-sided insect plague, there is a good table, known as a good minister and a famous general - uh, probably that's all. ”
"If my Bailu disciple sees a person falling into the water on the way, or he will drown, how should my Bailu disciple deal with it?"
"When you see someone in danger, you should help them. ”
"If this person you saved is not a good person and has always done a lot of evil, what if this fall into the water is the curse of God?"
"Saving people is out of a good heart, and if this person commits many unrighteous acts, he should be handed over to the local government and the department to deal with. ”……
Then, Zhu Youxiang asked Xu Yan a few more questions about the training records of the Bailu children, and Xu Yan also answered them fluently - according to the modern level of thinking, Xu Yan seems to be simple about the training of these Bailu children. Now there are a lot of messy and tricky questions popular on the Internet, what "after your girlfriend and mother fall into the water, you can only save one, which one do you want to save?" and other questions are rampant, Xu Yan, who grew up under the influence of this kind of tricky exercises, has no problem coping with Zhu Youxiang's questions. Even when faced with some seemingly dilemmas, such as the choice between "saving five people or saving one", Xu Yan hesitated slightly, but then he still answered according to his heart: "Of course, it is the side that saves more people." After answering, he was a little uneasy, but looking at Zhu Youxiang's expression, he couldn't see any clues, as if there was nothing wrong.
After answering the question, Xu Yan was a little apprehensive in his heart, he looked at Zhu Youxiang and asked, "This, Xuan Yun, I should answer these questions correctly, right?"
After listening to Xu Yan's answer, Zhu Youxiang kept thinking intently. Hearing Xu Yan's news, she smiled dumbly: "Master Xu, you are too worried." These questions are only for the purpose of examining your character, so how can there be any right or wrong?"
She lowered her head and muttered for a moment, and finally nodded and sighed: "The child's heart is very pure. ”
Xu Yan was a little puzzled: "That...... Is my mind good or bad?"
"Pure nature is born out of the heart, and it is born like this—just as a bird is born with wings and is born with wings and swims, and there is no right or wrong thing or bad in nature. Zhu Youxiang comforted Xu Yan, looking at Xu Yan's anxious expression, she smiled: "Of course, although it is born like this, the cultivation of the true practice should also pay attention to the question of whether it is suitable for nature. In my opinion, the nature of the son is very much in line with the purpose of this sect. ”
Xu Yan exhaled with relief, and he asked, "Then, when can I start learning the art of cultivating the truth?"
Zhu Youxiang frowned and thought for a while, she nodded and said: "The assessment is clear, but before enlightening the child, I still need to adjust the current physique of the childe, and do some preparations, all of which will take several days of hard work - uh, the son should not be smiling, to be honest, I have never brought an apprentice, so I can't be cautious." ”
Xu Yan's face suddenly collapsed - I heard Zhu Youxiang confidently tell me that she wanted to teach herself the art of cultivating the truth, looking at her very sure look, Xu Yan thought that this was just a trivial matter for her, but she didn't expect her to be the first time: For a while, Xu Yan felt very trembling as a little white rabbit.
He thought of the cultivation novels he had read, and thought of the legendary difficulty of cultivation, what words such as the derangement of the demon meridians and the collapse of the dantian, Xu Yan suddenly sweated behind his back, and his heavy clothes were soaked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On this day, Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang walked around the street for an afternoon, and accompanied Zhu Youxiang to buy a lot of messy miscellaneous items and came back -- clothes, jewelry, perfumes, cosmetics, leather bags, watches, mobile phones, sofas, tables, chairs, furniture, electrical appliances, snacks -- anyway, Zhu Youxiang had money on her, as long as she fancied something, she didn't even talk about the price, and bought it on the spot, which made the store smile and Xu Yan dumbfounded--it was the first time he had seen such a master who did not pay money.
Today, Zhu Youxiang sold gold and got more than 200,000 yuan, Xu Yan thought that he could support Zhu Youxiang's expenses for three or two years, but he didn't expect that in just one afternoon, this big girl would almost run out of money.
In the end, Xu Yan couldn't stand it anymore, he whispered to remind Zhu Youxiang whether he should pay attention to moderation, the latter woke up like a dream, and said to Xu Yan a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I forgot about it, I thought this was in Daming-but, Childe, there are so many good things here! delicious things, fun toys, good-looking comic books, and so many fun electrical appliances, I really can't help it." But then again, with so many good things, your money is really not enough to spend, more than 200,000 dollars, just like this, all of a sudden. ”
Xu Yan smiled bitterly: "There is not enough money to spend - this is also a problem that has been bothering us for a long time. ”
Seeing Xu Yan's sad face, Zhu Youxiang comforted him in turn: "Childe, don't worry, I still have a lot of gold by my side, it's really not good, I'll go and redeem it again." ”
Since Zhu Youxiang has made such a determination, the money is hers, and Xu Yan can't persuade her anymore, so she can only watch her let go and spend it indiscriminately. Fortunately, there is a benefit to accompanying Zhu Youxiang to go shopping, although she bought countless sundries and clothes and toys, but fortunately, she carries a storage bracelet with her, no matter what she buys, she only needs to run to a corner to avoid people, and she can turn things away with a "sloppy", although Xu Yan is tired and his legs and feet are sore, but he can finally avoid the pain of becoming a humanoid hanger and bag.
On the way home, she suddenly became interested in the car running on the road, she pointed to a car on the road: "Xu Gongzi, how much silver does this car cost?
Xu Yan was so tired that his legs and feet were sore, and when he heard Zhu Youxiang's question, he didn't pay attention to it at first, and replied casually: "Well, an entry-level car, it's almost the same if it costs more than 100,000 yuan, and there are some that can be sold at the car dealership. ”
"Oh!" Zhu Youxiang looked at the bus that was driving far away, and exclaimed: "This car is magnificent, very decent and graceful, and it is very suitable for me." Childe, the future emperor's uncle...... Well, on the occasion of the birthday of the elders of our clan, I present this car as a birthday gift, and it is expected that the elders will be happy!"
Xu Yan rolled his eyes when he heard this. As for Zhu Youxiang's saying that he wanted to buy a bus for the elders, Xu Yan was completely speechless about this kind of local tyrant behavior, and he didn't even have the strength to sigh, so he could only sigh: "Xuan Yun, your taste is really ...... Uh, that's unique!"
Zhu Youxiang smiled brightly, and her smile was like a flower: "Thank you for your exaggeration, the little girl is really ashamed!"
"I'm not complimenting you—"
"Well, what do you mean by that?"
Looking at Zhu Youxiang's surprised eyes, Xu Yan waved his hand weakly: "Forget it, you still treat me as a compliment." ”
