Chapter 17: Leaving the Mountain and Entering the Mortal Dust (Seeking Harvest and Pushing)

Standing under the rock wall, looking at the locked rock house, Xu Zhengdao, who had packed all the items in the house, still looked reluctant before leaving. Even if he knew in his heart, he could come back at any time if he wanted to come back in the future.

But the rock house in front of him, which was dug out by the master, is a witness to his coming to this time and space. If you add the time spent in seclusion with the master, he has been living in this seemingly inconspicuous rock house for nearly ten years.

When he entered the mountain, he was still an ignorant child who did not know anything, and now he was about to reach adulthood. It can be said that his childhood memories have been closely linked to this rock house and this mountain.

If you want to leave now, isn't it normal for you to be reluctant?

"Don't be too sentimental, maybe this will be my real place in the future. Started from Yunwu Mountain and ended with Yunwu Mountain, this can be regarded as having a beginning and an end. I just hope that when I go into seclusion, this mountain and this scene will still be the same! ”

Xu Zhengdao, who decided to be a hermit, felt that in addition to 'small hidden in the wild, hidden in the city, and big hidden in the court', there should be 'hidden in the wild'. Only in this way can the hermit's life be considered reincarnated.

Turning around and activating the dragon walking method, Xu Zhengdao was like an antelope in the forest, walking lightly in the jungle snow that began to melt. The mountain road, which used to take about an hour to walk, now only takes about half an hour.

Xu Zhengdao, who was tidying up his wet clothes when walking through the jungle and walking slowly on the road, was also very satisfied: "You Longbu has been promoted to Xiaocheng Realm, and it takes a lot less time to enter and exit the mountain. If you reach the end of your cultivation, how fast will you be when you reach it? ”

Thinking that after improving his light skills, he shuttled through the jungle at a speed comparable to that of an antelope running at full speed. Just seeing the clothes and pants wet by the morning dew, Xu Zhengdao also understood that his body skills still needed to be improved.

When he can really 'wander in the jungle without touching a single leaf', he must be able to cultivate to the realm of Dacheng or even the transformation realm. With such a light technique, at least no one should be able to catch up if he wants to run away.

"It's a good light technique, how can you think of running away? Thinking about it this way, it seems a bit unproductive! ”

After self-mockery, Xu Zhengdao also quickened his pace and walked to the platform, and at this time, a shuttle bus appeared not far away. Since he wants to be an ordinary person, his behavior in the world must be no different from that of ordinary people.

Successfully took the first shuttle bus to the city, Xu Zhengdao was also thinking about the next arrangements after entering the city. When he returned to the mountain the other time, he stayed in the mountain for seven days. Not surprisingly, the small farm yard purchased before should have been renovated at this moment.

Thinking of the new life that was about to begin, Xu Zhengdao secretly pondered in his heart: "Since you have settled in the city, the living conditions need to be improved. Although there are no computers and mobile phones, you can still consider TVs and radios. ”

Although I know that TVs in this era are still a luxury for ordinary people, what is even more tragic is that the vast majority of TVs that can be purchased in China are black-and-white TVs, and although color TVs are difficult to buy.

As for other household appliances, Xu Zhengdao feels that if he wants to buy them, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than he imagined. The problem is that with a television or radio, he can also learn more about the news and social information of this era through television and radio.

"Take your time! I really can't do it, wait another year or two, and then I can go outside and see the world. It's rare to live again, you can't just stay at home every day like in your previous life and wait for death, right? If you can't read 10,000 books, you can still do it after traveling 10,000 miles! ”

It is clear that the current policy of changing is still in the exploration period. Except for the special zones designated in the south, other places are still relatively conservative in their policy of opening up. However, in the next few years, the policy of reopening will also officially enter the fast lane.

At that time, the rapid changes in the country will not only make foreigners jaw-dropping, but even the Chinese people who are in the middle of it will not feel that their lives seem to be changing every day. Live well, and you can always live to that familiar era!

Thinking of the era in which he lived in his previous life, Xu Zhengdao made a simple estimate in his heart, and said with a slightly helpless expression: "When I live in that familiar era, I am no longer the year of not being confused, but the year of the sixtieth birthday, it's so scary to think about!" ”

From a greasy middle-aged uncle to a white-haired old man, it is no wonder that Xu Zhengdao feels a little uncomfortable in his heart. But he knew better in his heart that as a Xuan Xiu and successfully built a foundation, he could maintain his youth for a long time.

Monks who have successfully built a foundation have the longevity of two jiazi, and their cultivation is indefinite, and their body and blood will begin to decay when they are over 100 years old. This also means that as long as Xu Zhengdao is in good condition before the age of 100, he can still be as young as he is now.

Just thinking about it, Xu Zhengdao shook his head again and said: "If you really want to be nearly sixty years old, you are still the same as a young man, you can't even attract people's attention." This also means that if you want to hide in the market, you have to constantly change the place of retreat! ”

If in another ten years, he will still maintain his current youthful state, and those who are good friends with him may be envious. But twenty years later, he is still like this, I am afraid that those acquaintances will not envy him, but will think that he is a monster.

In this world, is there really a person who is immortal and forever young?

While these thoughts flashed in his mind, Xu Zhengdao also felt that thinking about these things now seemed to be a little too far away. However, 'people have no foresight, they must have near-term worries', and it is better to prepare for some things in advance than to make up for them afterwards!

When the shuttle bus swayed all the way and stopped safely at the station in the city again, Xu Zhengdao felt that it should not be too far from the time when he said goodbye to the bus completely. The next time he goes out of the city and back to the mountains, he prefers to ride a bicycle.

"I really don't want to taste that sour ride anymore."

Xu Zhengdao, who let out a sullen breath, began to transfer to the inner city bus and go to the next destination like other passengers entering the city. After a bus turn, Xu Zhengdao finally came to the nearest bus stop to the farmhouse courtyard.

While others walked to the nearby streets and alleys, he went straight to the relatively deserted outskirts of the city. After walking for a long time, the small farm yard that I bought finally appeared in my sight, and it seemed to be no different from before from the outside.

In fact, the walls of the courtyard and the exterior walls of the bungalows have not been repaired much by Xu Zhengdao. What really asked someone to tear it down and redecorate it was the thatched house that the previous head of the household repaired outside. In Xu Zhengdao's opinion, he really can't accept this kind of thatched house with wooden planks and large vats.

Demolishing the thatched house built by the original owner and vacating a small side house, Xu Zhengdao asked the renovation team to dig a septic tank outside the house. Inside, there is a toilet for easy washing, as well as a domestic water tower.

It's a bit of a pity that although there is a pressurized water well in the yard, it is difficult to buy a pump. In the future, if you want to use tap water at home, you must rely on Xu Zhengdao to carry water to fill the water tank on the water tower. Otherwise, there will be no water available for the installed tap water.

Even so, Xu Zhengdao still thinks that by connecting the water pipes first, and then waiting for the next opportunity to find a pump that can be put into the well to pump water, and then taking the time to modify it, the family will save a lot of trouble in the future.

Anyway, now he lives alone at home, and carrying a full tank of water every morning should be enough for him to use all day. With simple tap water, you can take a bath and go to the toilet or something, and you can solve it directly at home, isn't that much more convenient?

Similar to Liu Daneng, who lives in Beiwan Hutong, he must go to the public toilet in the alley every day to go to the toilet, and he needs to go to the public bathhouse to take a bath. Thinking of the sour taste of going to the public toilet in summer, Xu Zhengdao would rather spend time running outdoors for convenience than go to the public toilet.

Looking at the locked courtyard gate, and the courtyard was empty, Xu Zhengdao understood that the house should be renovated. All that's left for him to do is to slowly settle into this home. I believe that it will not be long before this small farm yard will become a warm and comfortable new home!
