After using the wine and meat meals, the owner of the wine shop took Xu Daoyun to the back room to rest.

The interior of the house is not exquisite, but the tables, chairs, wine jugs and other things are complete, the key is that the bed is clean and tidy, and the bedding has no peculiar smell, which should be replaced and cleaned frequently.

Xu Daoyun washed up indiscriminately, took off his shoes and socks, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes intently, and entered a state of cultivation.

Since the battle of the Evil Tiger Cottage, he had a feeling, and after three days of precipitation, it seemed that he was getting closer and closer to the innate realm, and he only needed to break the last barrier before he could truly step into the path of cultivation.

Xu Daoyun's body cultivated by himself, but his divine soul entered the endless inner heaven and earth.

Every time he entered the cultivation state, the divine soul would be involuntarily sucked into this wonderful world, and then the divine soul and the physical body would echo each other and complement each other.

It's like two people cultivating at the same time, and it's really making rapid progress.

Moreover, since his divine soul communicated with this wonderful world, even if he did not enter the cultivation state, the dragon breath in his body could automatically operate and cultivate, and he was the so-called internal cultivation.

Cultivation is not all about concentrating and sitting cross-legged.

Only by cultivating all the time can we truly be considered to be in harmony with heaven and earth.

In this way, Xu Daoyun's cultivation speed is several times that of ordinary people, because he can even eat and sleep for internal cultivation, coupled with the assistance of the divine soul in the inner heaven and earth, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a thousand miles a day.

......

The night went by.

On the second day, the sun rose in the east.

Listening to the chirping of birds outside the window, Xu Daoyun seemed to feel something, and his soul withdrew from the inner heaven and earth, and slowly opened his eyes.

He stretched, only to feel a hundred times more energetic and refreshed.

Get up and wash up, get dressed and walk, pick up the sword case, and push the door out.

happened to meet Lao Zhang walking through the courtyard with a wooden pot of green vegetables, Xu Daoyun smiled: "Boss, it's early." ”

Lao Zhang turned around and said with a smile: "Yo, little brother, get up so early." ”

"Go to bed early. ”

Lao Zhang put the wooden basin by the well, lifted half a bucket of water and poured it in, and asked with a smile: "The road to Qingping County is far, it takes three or five days to cross the river and get to Jindao Town, do you want to prepare some dry food on your body?"

Xu Daoyun nodded: "Okay, then smoke the beef and mutton and wrap it in twenty catties each, and then boil a bowl of rock sugar eight-treasure porridge to satisfy your hunger." ”

"Okay, little brother will go to the front hall and sit first, and the eight-treasure porridge will come soon. ”

Lao Zhang washed the vegetables and walked into the room with a wooden basin.

After breakfast, Xu Daoyun walked northeast.

When you don't walk for a long time, you can see a big river under the mountain road from a distance, there are boats coming and going from time to time, the clear stream in the middle of the river is rolling, the waves are surging, the smoke and waves are curling in the distance, and you can't see the other side at all.

Xu Daoyun walked to the pier and saw a small boat with a canopy roof, and a man in his forties wearing a robe was sitting on the bow of the boat drinking wine.

Xu Daoyun walked closer, made a junior salute, and said straight to the point: "Boat family, it was the boss of the wine shop who introduced me to take your boat and cross the river by water." ”

The man glanced at the young man on the back box, stuffed the wine sac plug in his hand, nodded and said, "Okay, since it was introduced by Lao Zhang, let's get on the boat." ”

Xu Daoyun stepped on the boat, thinking that it would shake violently, but he didn't expect it to be safe and stable.

He was surprised in his heart, and praised with a smile: "I heard Boss Zhang say that your boat is very stable, even if it is windy and rainy, it will not capsize, and now it seems that it is really worthy of the name." ”

Lao Wu untied the rope, raised the bamboo pole to prop it up, and rowed out two feet away when the boat boarded, he showed a mouth of white teeth, and said with a smile: "This Lao Zhang, he can speak, but he didn't deceive you, little brother." It's not that my old Wu is boasting, my boat has been more than ten years, and it has never capsized. ”

"Remarkable. ”

The lake surface is light and misty, several small boats are rippling in the meantime, and half of the lake water surface is floating with green and oily water chestnut leaves.

There is a famous product here again, it is the green hornless water chestnut, the water chestnut meat is fresh and sweet and tender, fragrant and crisp, it is the crown of Jiangzhou.

There are many water chestnut leaves in the river, at this time it is the deep spring, the green water and green leaves, like a pool of green glass covered with pieces of jade.

Xu Daoyun was enjoying the scenery, and suddenly felt that the boat under him shot out like flying, he turned his head to look back, only to see that Lao Wu didn't know when he abandoned the bamboo pole and held the oars instead.

He stretched out his oars into the water, and with a slight and dexterous pull, the fishing boat shot out like an arrow, and the hull of the boat almost jumped out of the water, and it seemed that the force of this pull was hundreds of catties, not to mention.

It is strange that a skinny boatman has such strength, and how can a wooden oar withstand such force?

I saw that Lao Wu was counting again, and the fishing boat had shot out twenty or thirty feet away.

The sunlight shone on the oars through the clouds and mist, and it turned out to be an iron paddle covered with brass, no wonder it could withstand the strength of a hundred catties.

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "Brother Ang, the real person doesn't show his face." ”

Lao Wu shook his head: "Haha, what kind of real person doesn't show his face, he just has brute force." ”

Xu Daoyun looked at the vast smoke and waves in the east and asked, "Brother Ang, where are you on the other side of the river?"

"This is Qingcheng Village, and you will walk northeast for three or two days along the official road, and you will arrive at Jindao Town. ”

When the fishing boat docked, Xu Daoyun saw through the mist that there was a row of cottages on the shore, all of which were brick houses, and the farmland was against the river, with a waterwheel, which was gurgling and turning.

Xu Daoyun jumped ashore and said with a smile: "Thank you Angkor, how much is the boat money?"

Lao Wu waved his hand and said, "Just look at it and give some." ”

Xu Daoyun was in a very good mood, and he was generous when he made a move, took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into Lao Wu's arms, held his hand, and whispered: "Wealth is not exposed, it is not quiet, you can accept this money, not much, just a little heart." ”

Lao Wu had no choice but to accept it, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I will definitely come to our Jiangdepo again in the future, Lao Wu, I will entertain you well." ”

"Definitely, farewell. ”

Xu Daoyun arched his hand and turned to leave.

Walking in the village road of Qingcheng Village, Xu Daoyun can feel the strong customs here, not that the customs here are different from other places, but this peaceful and peaceful atmosphere makes Xu Daoyun feel extremely comfortable and comfortable.

He inquired about the villagers, found a stable, bought a horse that was not too tall, and followed the pipeline to the northeast.

Two days later, at noon, a golden town came into view.

The town is surrounded by golden rice paddies, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles down, reflecting the whole town in a gentle golden light, and at a glance, it is like a fairyland on earth.

Xu Daoyun was afraid that riding into the town would disturb the walking people, so he jumped down and took the reins and walked inside.

The townspeople were carrying baskets or hoes, or cow harnesses, and they were talking and laughing in groups.

Xu Daoyun came to a three-story inn and stopped, looked up at the plaque, and saw the words "Golden Rice Inn" written on it.

The name is apt, and the town is surrounded by golden rice, and the inn is also called Golden Rice, which is indeed appropriate.
