Volume 1 The Past Chapter 2 Laughing and talking in the shop, but being at a loss outside the shop
"What are you whispering?" Xu Huan said too quietly, Xu Zhongde didn't hear it clearly, and asked curiously.
"I'm wondering why this Daoist can't think of it like this."
"What can't you think of? This is called knowing the goods. Xu Zhongde seriously corrected Xu Huan's mistakes.
"Ever since I broke a wooden sword that day and threw that compass out of a few gaps, Second Uncle, you should understand that these are fakes."
"You know what?" Xu Zhongde said disdainfully: "I said that day, this is called a divine obscure, in order to cover its own light, what's wrong with being fragile?" ”
Xu Huan blinked: "According to what you said about Second Uncle, this is not called a divine artifact self-obscure, this should be called a divine artifact self-destruction." ”
Second uncle Xu Zhongde doesn't know why, he is very obsessed with things in the spiritual world, and in recent years, he has spent a lot of copper coins on the black market to buy a bunch of "magic weapons" and secret books of major sects.
Xu Zhongde seems to believe that he will become a legend, but those "magic weapons" are undoubtedly real fakes.
Xu Huan was in a realistic attitude, in order to verify the authenticity of these magic weapons, after seeking the consent of the second uncle, he broke one of the wooden swords without much effort, and accidentally put the compass on the ground and fell out of a few gaps.
In this twist and turn, Xu Zhongde's heart also cracked with those magic weapons.
During that time, Xu Zhongde was muttering about the artifacts and obscuring himself, and at the same time carried those magic weapons to the grocery store.
Although Xu Zhongde's excuse is to let a truly discerning person step into the grocery store to prove that he Xu Zhongde is indeed discerning, in fact, both uncle and nephew know in their hearts that they are preparing to quickly transfer these "magic weapons" to harm others.
In the past few years, these "magic weapons" have really attracted a lot of attention, but no matter how Xu Zhongde talks about lotus flowers and boasts, none of the customers will be fooled, and most of those customers think that these are just discarded waste products in Xu Zhongde's house, and they just want to put them here to fool others. Fortunately, most of the goods sold in the grocery store were of high quality and low price, otherwise those old customers would definitely characterize Xu Zhongde as a liar and never communicate again.
But today things are a little different.
Xu Zhongde looked at the goods, and suddenly fell into deep thought, thinking to himself that these magic weapons really have hidden special features, otherwise how could that young man be in a hurry to pay for it?
Xu Huan is worthy of being a person who has been with the second uncle for several years, and he immediately saw the second uncle's thoughts, and reminded again: "Second uncle, the wooden sword was broken, and it only took three breaths of effort, and now it is still in the scrap pile." ”
"It's all said that the gods are obscure." Xu Zhongde snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze.
Xu Huan curiously asked the question that had been hovering in his heart for a long time, "Second uncle, why do you have such a great attachment to spirituality?" ”
Hearing Xu Huan's question, Xu Zhongde coughed lightly, with the posture of a storyteller, proudly stroked the non-existent beard of his chin twice, and said with a reminiscent and embarrassed expression: "Xiaohuan, you don't know, in fact, the second uncle was only one step away from spiritual cultivation. ”
"Second uncle, please speak." Xu Huan saw Xu Zhongde glancing at himself with his spare eyes, and hurriedly showed an expectant expression in cooperation, giving Xu Zhongde enough face.
"That was a long time ago, when I was also a handsome and dashing teenager, there was a cultivator who traveled here took a fancy to my qualifications and wanted to take me as an apprentice, but for the sake of the family's great cause, I refused the other party's warm invitation, I didn't expect that I would miss out on spiritual cultivation since then, it's really melancholy, sighing."
Xu Huan hesitated: "Handsome and chic...... Is it? ”
"Handsome, of course." Xu Zhongde said dissatisfied.
"In this place of Yunyan Town, is there really a spiritual group that has traveled here?"
"Where in the world can't you go? What's more, it's a small cloud town. ”
"Then second uncle, since you are so enthusiastic about spiritual cultivation, there is no reason to refuse."
"Didn't you say it was for the sake of the family's business?"
"But...... Now that the cultivation method can be seen everywhere, since you have qualifications, why don't you go to practice? ”
"Because the second uncle is not available."
This reason is really speechless, and Xu Huan couldn't think of anything to refute him for a while.
Thinking of the second uncle's character of running the train with his mouth, Xu Huan expressed all-round doubts about the authenticity of this story, besides, the Xu family has been poor from their ancestors to the present, how can there be any family business?
"Besides, who said that there are no spiritual cultivators in Yunyan Town who want to come here." Xu Zhongde lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "When the second uncle passed through Biyun Mountain last night, he saw a flash of light on the mountainside, and heard the roar of the beast, and the mountain seemed to shake a few times, and finally faintly saw a figure flying up, this must be a spiritual cultivator fighting on the mountain." ”
Xu Huan tilted his head and said with a smile: "Last time you said that you faintly saw a giant python covered in thorny armor on the mountain, but the next day you pulled me on an adventure, it was just a strange-looking tree, last time you said that the family was suspected of evil ghosts, but it turned out to be just a mouse, and last time ......."
Without waiting for Xu Huan to count his great achievements, Xu Zhongde hurriedly interrupted him, probably feeling that he couldn't hold his face, so he snorted coldly: "I saw it with my own eyes this time." ”
According to ancient records, the ancestors of the human race in the primeval era excavated the "Book of Traces" that changed the course of the world, and deduced the method of cultivation from it, which opened the era of cultivation.
With the continuous attempts and innovations of generations of ancestors, the spiritual system has been continuously improved, and finally evolved into the era when there are thousands of sects and thousands of laws.
However, the conditions for becoming a spiritual cultivator are extremely harsh, and even today there are still a large number of mortals who are unable to practice, and in this world of spiritual reverence, the powerless mortals are destined to look up to those practitioners who come and go freely.
Yunyan Town is poor and poor, lacks resources, and has a backward economy, so it is naturally the most abundant in the poor. As for spirituality, Xu Huan has lived for so long, and he has never heard of a spiritual cultivator who has taken away a child with good qualifications here, and he doesn't want to come to spiritual cultivation to travel to such a place.
Thinking of this, Xu Huan suddenly remembered the Huafa man that year.
Maybe maybe not?
...
...
Nanyuan Prefecture is located in a remote corner of the Great Qi Dynasty, almost half of the state is embraced by the mountains, and Yunyan Town, as one of the masters, is surrounded by mountains, with many peaks and steep peaks, and many poisonous insects, tigers and leopards. It is not surprising that it has been selected as one of the five most backward towns in Daqi for several consecutive years.
The young man named Li Xuankong has been wandering around Yunyan Town since he walked out of the grocery store, the houses here are old and the roads are rugged, but since he was a child, he has grown up in the mountain sect and has no influence on him who is used to living a hard life, but he didn't expect that the things in this Yunyan Town are even more dilapidated than those on the mountain, which makes Li Xuankong a little novel, if it weren't for the previous experience of going down the mountain, he would probably think that the mountain is like this.
Since receiving the master's instructions, Li Xuankong has hurried down the mountain and just came to this Yunyan Town today, but what does the master mean by the unpredictable luck? What do you need to do?
took out the compass that he bought at the grocery store before, this compass was obviously useless, the pointer was motionless, but Li Xuankong, who had already known about it, had a smile on his face, and after putting away the compass, he saw the familiar road sign in front of him.
The flow of people is still turbulent, and the boy does not want to drift with the tide like a fallen leaf.
So he immediately stopped, in which case there was no need to draw his sword, but he was still at a loss.
Compared to the future that is filled with cranky thoughts, there is still a problem to be solved now.
Where should I go?
