Chapter 363: Steps
On this night, the sudden change on the north wall of Shengjing triggered the reverie and speculation of the people.
However, no one knew that with a casual smile, Sheng Tang completed an important inheritance, and Li Zizhi once again taught Zhang Xiaodao how to cultivate his mind with his actions.
The anxious and urgent emotion in Zhang Xiaodao's heart disappeared, and was replaced by blind confidence in himself.
In the early morning of the next day, in the morning light, Zhang Xiaodao walked out of the small courtyard, stood on the steps and stretched his arms, stretched his muscles, remembered the bean flowers in Lotus Lane, and simply freshened up and went straight to Lotus Lane.
Lotus Lane used to be a snack street for civilians, and later because the queen mother flew up to the branches and the chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, and even the whole street became the most prosperous commercial street in Shengjing City.
After Wen Qinglan became the queen's mother, the bean flower shop in Lotus Lane naturally closed down, and later I don't know who rented the store here again, repaired it, and still sold bean curd, but she didn't dare to use the words of the queen's mother, but it was undoubtedly stained with a lot of light.
In the early morning, Lotus Lane was already overcrowded, and the slightly damp bluestone slabs were gradually drying up.
When Zhang Xiaodao came to the bean flower shop, there was already a long queue here, in the days when the decisive battle was approaching, he should not have wasted time here, but today he began to line up with great patience, listening to the people talk about the bright masterpiece in the north of the city last night, with a smile on his face.
Unconsciously, Zhang Xiaodao had already lined up at the front of the line, and in addition to the crowds in front of him, he could see the old plaque of the bean flower shop when he raised his head.
The plaque as a whole is like ink-like black, and the center is the three big characters of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing without a prefix, 'Douhua shop' is simple and straightforward, but this plaque has been hanging for nearly ten years, and there are naturally some rolled veneers around the plaque, and the white font is also bright and dark, presumably some paint is washed away by the rain.
The first time Zhang Xiaodao saw the plaque, he fell deeply into it.
Picture after picture appeared in his mind, like a slideshow.
On the first day of the plaque, it was hung in front of the shop. In addition to dutifully telling passers-by that there is bean curd, it also has to endure wind and frost.
The rain in early spring, the heat of summer, the coldness of late autumn, and the heavy snow in winter.
Ten years later, the plaque naturally leaves many traces of the years, and these years are time!
When he was in a daze, Zhang Xiaodao had already come to the front of the line, and the thin boss of the bean flower shop asked, "Little brother, how many bowls?"
Zhang Xiaodao came back to his senses and stretched out two fingers. Handed over two wooden bowls, Erer said, "Two bowls." ”
The thin boss took the two wooden bowls brought by Zhang Xiaodao himself, and filled them with bean curd with quick movements.
Zhang Xiaodao handed the broken silver to the boss, picked up two bowls of bean curd and walked towards his small courtyard, but he was still thinking about the plaque just now.
Walking out of Lotus Lane, Zhang Xiaodao walked briskly on the dew on the bluestone slab, and was able to give Wang Luohan a bowl of hot bean curd, which was obviously more important to him.
Walking all the way through the alley, Zhang Xiaodao's footsteps were hurried. But suddenly he stopped because of a child's cry.
To his left was a small courtyard with an open gate and a white laundry to dry, showing that the family was not too wealthy.
The cry came from a little girl in the courtyard.
The little girl wears two pigtails. The corners of his mouth were grinning but downward, his big eyes were full of mist, and he couldn't look aggrieved.
Standing in front of the girl was an old woman with gray temples. The hand placed on top of the girl's head had rough skin and coarse joints, apparently the result of years of labor.
"Ah, mother. How did I bleed? The girl asked pitifully.
The lady who was called A-Niang smiled and said, "You have grown up, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”
Zhang Xiaodao looked embarrassed, and hurriedly crossed the intersection of this portal, but inexplicably thought that the little girl had grown up, and the passage of time was also at work!
All the way back to his own courtyard, Wang Luohan just opened his hazy eyes, Zhang Xiaodao was afraid that the bean curd would be cold, so he hurriedly found a pot to cover it, and then waited for his daughter-in-law to wash.
After washing, the two began to eat bean curd.
Wang Luohan is in a good mood today, his eyebrows are crooked and he is smiling when he eats bean curd.
Zhang Xiaodao was also rarely relaxed, and the two began to chat while talking and laughing, and the topic was naturally inseparable from Xiaodao.
At the end of the breakfast, Zhang Xiaodao proposed to keep it warm, and even coaxed Wang Luohan to the bed, and he lay on Wang Luohan's bulging lower abdomen with great interest.
Wang Luohan's lower abdomen is very round, and his fair skin seems to be almost transparent.
Zhang Xiaodao put all his head up, but he didn't dare to press hard, so he had to support his body with his hands, of course, with his cultivation level, such an uncomfortable posture would not be too tiring.
Originally, Wang Luohan was still a little shy, but when he looked down at Zhang Xiaodao's side face full of happy smiles, he felt that this was a matter of course.
The early morning beams of light poured through the window lattices on the mottled floor, and the breeze swept in through the open doors, but it was slightly warm and pleasant.
Zhang Xiaodao lay on Wang Luohan's bulging lower abdomen and listened for a long time.
Inexplicably, the heartbeats of the three of them became uniform, and the faint sound of 'dong dong dong' turned into a beautiful music in the ears of the couple like a heavenly sound.
With a flick of his fingers, the morning time passed quietly, and when Zhang Xiaodao raised his head again, he found that Wang Luohan had fallen asleep, so he got off the bed lightly, and just walked into the courtyard, he saw the master who came with a big bag.
These days, Zhang Xiaodao went to watch the stele every day and was taken care of by Wang Luohan by the master, obviously Wang Daniu's care on the first day was too clumsy in her eyes, so she went into battle in person.
Shi Niang had just put the tonic she bought on the small table in the courtyard, and when she saw Zhang Xiaodao coming down, she suddenly frowned, and said with relief: "Soon." ”
Zhang Xiaodao smiled and said, "Master, what delicious food did you buy." "I don't seem to care about my own breakthrough.
Seeing Zhang Xiaodao's breezy appearance, Shi Niang Hanshuang'er smiled and said: "When you enter the Xuan, you will get close to the supernatural powers, which is a big deal for every cultivator, and now it is good, there is the wind of a general." ”
Zhang Xiaodao smiled bitterly and said: "Divine powers may not be able to help Sheng Tang in future wars, so there is no need to mention Zhixuan." ”
He told the truth at this time, the Western Regions and the Great Wilderness are about to arrive in the Tang Dynasty, in this situation where the masters of the three parties are exhausted, it is natural to see who is more powerful above the Divine Power Realm, at this time, it is really a drop in the bucket, and Zhang Xiaodao's goal is naturally more than that.
Shi Niang was stunned when she heard this, patted Zhang Xiaodao's shoulder, and did not continue the topic, but said, "Are you going to Futu Temple in the afternoon?"
Zhang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "I'm tired of watching, rest at home in the afternoon." ”
Shi Niang laughed and said, "Then you have to help." As he spoke, he picked up the tightly wrapped kraft paper and said, "Pregnant women have to replenish their blood, go and boil jujube water." ”
Zhang Xiaodao immediately went straight to the kitchen.
............
The night is slightly drooping, and the red glow on the horizon is converging.
Zhang Xiaodao, who had been busy inside and out all afternoon, scratched his head, looked at the sky, and felt that this time seemed to pass too quickly.
Hanshuang'er was stewing a big pot of chicken soup at this time, and looking at her serious appearance, she knew that her attitude towards Wang Luohan's pregnancy was indescribable.
Originally, Wang Luohan's temperament was naturally a little willful after pregnancy, and Wang Daniu was tossed here on the first day to prove it.
But since Shi Niang came here, Wang Luohan didn't dare to command Shi Niang to buy this and that, but Shi Niang instructed her to eat this and drink that.
Although Wang Luohan complained bitterly in her heart, she also understood that her master was for her good, so she could only accept it honestly.
The dinner was extremely sumptuous, written by the teacher's wife.
After supervising Wang Luohan drank three bowls of thick hen soup, Shi Niang left satisfied, leaving behind Wang Luohan, who kept hiccups, and Zhang Xiaodao, who was smiling.
Dare to smile on his face, Zhang Xiaodao naturally has to be coquettishly commanded by Wang Luohan, who is now a pregnant woman.
In the end, Zhang Xiaodao successfully waited for Wang Luohan to get on the bed and fell asleep peacefully, but he couldn't sleep, quietly got out of bed, walked to the stone steps in the courtyard outside the house and sat down.
The starlight illuminated his cheeks, and he subconsciously stared at the starry sky in a daze, and unconsciously remembered the scenes he saw today.
The mottled old plaque, the girl's panic due to her period, and the increasingly powerful heartbeat of the little knife all made Zhang Xiaodao realize.
But he didn't feel it at the first time, but chose to be alone in the dead of night, which was an extremely bold choice.
Perception of this kind of thing, it is subtle to say, but once the perception arrives, who dares to miss it? That may really be missed, but Zhang Xiaodao dares to do this is not arrogant and frivolous, but what he thinks when he remembers the feeling.
After precipitation, these thoughts and thoughts not disappeared in Zhang Xiaodao's heart, but brewed and fermented, and were conveyed more strongly and clearly at this moment.
Zhang Xiaodao's eyes suddenly lit up, like stars, and the divine wheel spun wildly under his body, splashing a series of quiet beams of light in his body.
He saw the veins in his body like never before, saw the firmament tree clearly, and saw the sea of spiritual sources clearly, and these things that should have been still began to change at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
Zhang Xiaodao's clothes inexplicably began to get old, and cracks spread on the stone steps under his buttocks, as if he had experienced an unknown number of springs and autumns at this moment.
After a while, a net had begun to form on Zhang Xiaodao's body, and countless dust and ash had become wisps in front of his closed eyes.
When he opened his eyes, there was no light in his eyes, but they were as deep as the starry sky, and in less than two hours, he was already half a step of supernatural power!
On this day, Zhang Xiaodao broke the grade in the Fate Xuan Realm, if someone knew about it, they would definitely be shocked and couldn't say half a word, but he didn't seem to think it was so strange or difficult.
It's just that after he lifted his buttocks, he found that the steps were old and broken, and he couldn't help but think that if his strength went up a step, he would have to build a step, what is the reason? It seems that the next time he comprehends the rule of time, he has to choose a good place. (To be continued......)
