Volume 1: Illuminating Mountains and Rivers Chapter 24 The People of the Nine Xuanmen
In less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Ruyan returned with a smile on her face, followed by five or six young women holding trays in their hands.
"Everything is complete, see if you are satisfied?"
Liu Ruyan leaned back in the chair and tapped a few times towards the women lined up.
Ji Yuan was not polite, he really got up and checked the things in front of him one by one, until he confirmed that it was correct, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"You're not sloppy at all."
Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes elegantly, but although her tone was complaining, she was not surprised by it.
Anyway, the two sides have been dealing with each other for more than a year, and she is even a young Taoist leader, how serious she is about money, and she is a proper little money fan.
Sometimes Liu Ruyan couldn't help muttering, didn't he say that the Taoist family pays attention to what is quiet and inactive, money is all external things, only my way is eternal?
"Friendship is friendship, business belongs to business, if something goes wrong, it's easy to have no friends."
Ji Yuan explained with a smile and sat back in his chair.
And after he confirmed that it was correct, several women began to carefully put away the things in their hands one by one.
The last two burdens, one large and one small, were safely placed on the table next to Ji Yuan.
"I said you're not too troublesome, why don't you buy a mountain and river bag?"
Liu Ruyan shook the round fan in her hand lightly, looking full of smiles.
The so-called mountain and river bag is a kind of thing that some great monks have only refined with the ultimate refining technique, combined with the formation and prohibition, which is not a magic weapon but is better than a magic weapon.
A bag no bigger than a palm, but it contained a space, the smallest of which was a few feet long and wide, and could store almost anything in it except for the fact that it could not hold living creatures.
Hearing this, the little Taoist shook his head with a wry smile: "That thing is too expensive, even if it is the cheapest mountain and river bag in your Ming Xinxuan, I will at least have to refine the pill for two or three years day and night before I can hope to afford it." ”
And this still has to be guaranteed, every furnace of pills will be successful, and there will not be a single waste of pills, so that in addition to the cost, enough money can be accumulated.
But in this way, Ji Yuan's own cultivation will be delayed, and in two or three years, it cannot be said that there is no progress, and it is basically the same.
At such a price, it is a great loss to exchange for something that is not needed at this stage.
Besides, now the white jade flying sword in his purple mansion has a small hole inside it, and its function is stronger than the mountain and river bag, I don't know how many times, so there is no need to spend money to buy it at this time.
After all, for monks, careful calculation has become instinct, and every copper on the body is to be used to increase cultivation, or to establish a life.
"Since the money and goods have been cleared, I will go back first, and next time I have time, I will come to the shopkeeper Liu for tea."
Ji Yuan yawned, he didn't rest for a day and a night, and he went through several twists and turns, and he was indeed very tired at this time.
Seeing that his face was haggard, Liu Ruyan did not stay, and personally sent it to the door of Mingyue Xuan, watching the little Taoist priest leave with two burdens, one large and one small.
Ming Xinxuan's trip back and forth, the time spent was not much, it was only more than half an hour.
When Ji Yuan returned to the outside of the Taoist temple, the sunlight was blocked by most of the alley, and when he saw that the door of his house had been opened from a distance, he knew that it was the master and the senior brother who had woken up.
He walked quickly past the gate, and this time he didn't climb over the courtyard wall again.
Just when he walked into the Taoist temple and saw that there were three men and two women, a total of five young people, in the main hall dedicated to the statue, the face of the little Taoist priest suddenly changed.
He quickly pinched his fingers in his sleeve and counted them, and immediately reacted, today happened to be the day once every four years.
At that moment, Ji Yuan immediately lightened his steps and walked towards the small courtyard without squinting, but as soon as he took two or three steps, a shout came from the main hall.
"Now that you've come back, why are you so sneaky, why don't you come over quickly."
He answered, turned around weakly, and reluctantly walked into the main hall of the Taoist temple.
It is said to be the main hall, but in fact it is just a larger room, with eight soft-faced Taoists lined up on the left and right, and in the center is enshrined a man in a long robe who can't see the true face and carries two long swords.
Xuantian Temple is different from ordinary Taoist temples, and the gods and goddesses of Taoism are not worshipped, but the immortal characters of Taoism in a continent, each of whom is a land immortal-like existence, and the one in the middle is the Taoist master of a continent.
As soon as he walked into the main hall, Ji Yuan's gaze intentionally or unintentionally skimmed over several young people, except for the two teenagers and girls who looked about the same age as him, the rest were all young people in their early twenties.
They were dressed in brocade robes, carrying a long sword with a simple shape, and a piece of pure white jade pendant engraved with Xuan characters hung from their waists.
After a little bit of a large amount, Ji Yuan secretly said in his heart Sure enough, the identities and approximate followers of these visitors have been confirmed.
"These are the distinguished guests of the Nine Xuanmen of Feiyun County, don't hurry up and salute."
An old man with white hair and beard and immortal wind bones said with a smile: "This is the junior disciple Ji Yuan, and he is also the only disciple of Xuantianguan's generation who has set foot on cultivation. ”
The little Taoist priest came to the old man's side, made a gesture to everyone, and then stepped back a position, bowing his head and being silent.
After thinking about it, he silently put the big and small bags in his hand on the ground, and then moved them behind him with his feet.
"Embarking on the path of cultivation at such a young age, no matter where you put it, you can be called a genius."
The young man at the head smiled slightly, and nodded towards Ji Yuan as he spoke.
And as he spoke, two teenagers and girls of the same age as the little Taoist priest also cast curious glances at the same time, the former's eyes were full of scrutiny, but the latter saw that he was very good-looking, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"We will stay here for a while, and the things mentioned before, the old Taoist can think about it slowly, and not rush for a while."
The young man clasped his fists and saluted, and after a few words of greeting, he took his younger brothers and sisters to confess and leave.
Ji Yuan was a little confused, according to the practice of previous years, after these people came, most of them would search the Taoist temple inside and out, three or five times, and then they would leave temporarily with reluctance.
"This person's name is Zhao Yuansong, he is the elder brother of the outer gate of the generation of Jiuxuanmen, and the young man and girl behind him, one is called Jiang He, and the other is called Xu Qiqi."
The old man looked at the empty door, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Ji Yuan brought himself a cup of cold tea, and after drinking it all, he muttered: "Jiuxuanmen has had good luck in recent years." ”
That Zhao Yuansong was only in his early twenties, and he was already full of energy, and his eyebrows and spiritual light were faintly revealed, and it was no surprise that he was standing at the peak of the enlightenment realm, and he could enter the next realm at any time, and break through the physical obstacle with his soul light, so as to give birth to mana.
As for the two teenagers and girls who are the same age as him, they are even more in the early stage of enlightenment, a middle stage of enlightenment, if there is no accident, at the same age, their achievements will definitely be higher than Zhao Yuansong.
"Old man, what is that man talking about?"
After a long while, Ji Yuan retracted the emotion in his heart and turned to look at the old man beside him.
"Call Master!"
The old man glared at him angrily, then opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Seeing the old man's appearance, Ji Yuan didn't ask any more questions, led the big bags on the ground, and walked to his hut.
