Chapter 55: I became a teacher again
After booking an upper room at the Liuxian Town Inn, Jiang Ying couldn't help but sigh that the service concept of this world is really backward enough. The best rooms in the best inn in town are so shabby: the gray curtains, the clay vase without flowers, the table legs are not the same length and the left and right sides are dangling, the bed is paintless, the room is not well lit, and there is a slight mold under the bath tub......
If it weren't for the regulations in the immortal cultivation world, immortal cultivators in the sect would not be able to set foot in the mortal world, especially around the sect. Jiang Yinggao wants to buy a house and teach these bosses what the service industry is!
She had no choice but to sit in front of the window on the south side of the second floor of the inn, taking advantage of the daylight to look at the cleaned "garbage".
The fabric is breathable cotton yarn, which has the advantage of being skin-friendly, comfortable to wear, and inexpensive. The disadvantage is that it is very easy to wrinkle, and the embroidery will pull out uneven edges, and it is easy to wear.
"It's okay to make underwear from this kind of material, but it's not luxurious or practical to make skirts for female cultivators." Jiang Ying shook his head, that Wanjin real person looks old, how could he enter this batch of goods?
Anyway, it was to pass the time, Jiang Ying bought some ordinary silk threads, planning to practice Shu embroidery skills on these rags and improve his cultivation.
The needle and thread seemed to have spiritual sense in Jiang Ying's hands, flying up and down along the texture of cotton yarn, like a flying fish in the sea, holding a golden silk thread behind him - or embroidered ingots!
Jiang Ying's mind gradually immersed in every needle drop and needle point, in the smooth direction of every stroke of the silk thread. Although the aura in the town is thin, the effect of purifying the heart is comparable to meditating on the moon!
"Huh? The girl is so young, and the embroidery is so exquisite? When a plainly dressed old woman passed by Jiang Ying with a basin of water, she let out an exclamation, interrupting Jiang Ying's immersive embroidery.
"It's just a little craftsmanship, it's not exquisite." Jiang Ying smiled shyly, she was a monk, and her start was naturally better than that of mortals, so when she heard the praise of others, she had a sense of shame similar to cheating.
The old woman brought the basin of water to a guest room, and after the tenant picked it up, she came back anxiously: "Isn't it exquisite? Don't listen to what people say! The old woman has seen a lot of monks in this inn! The embroidery on their bodies may not be as delicate as yours! β
Jiang Ying smiled dumbly: "Mother-in-law, how did you know that they were monks?" Aren't people in the immortal realm not allowed to show their cultivation in the mortal world? β
Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law saw that there was no one left and right, and suddenly lowered her voice: "Don't look at the old woman, I am the innkeeper who pours tea and water, and I used to be a monk!" It's a pity that there is no follow-up after the air is introduced into the body. β
"Mother-in-law is a monk?" Jiang Ying was surprised in his heart, even if it was a level of Qi cultivation, he wouldn't return to the mortal world and become the bottom, right?
Jiang Ying pretended to be surprised and grabbed her mother-in-law's wrist and probed it with her spiritual power.
Sure enough, he is a monk who cultivates qi, but the meridians all show a sense of old age.
"Alas, you!" The mother-in-law felt the long-lost spiritual power and was speechless in surprise.
"Since my mother-in-law is a monk, why don't you do some auxiliary affairs in the sect and wait for the opportunity, or ......" or use the spiritual power of the micro end to do some eye-catching livelihood tricks.
"Alas, since you are also a monk, little girl, I am not afraid to tell you. The sect is cruel, I didn't break through the second layer of qi training for fifteen years, and the master saw that my cultivation was hopeless, so he openly and secretly asked me to make a furnace for other senior brothers. I don't want to, they're all people with Taoism or average conduct.
Later, my parents passed away in the mortal war, and I had no support, so I quit the sect and came here, wanting to see if there was a chance at the foot of the big sect, so I have been stumbling until today, and I have been stumbling at the entrance for half my life. The old woman spread her hands and motioned to Jiang Ying for her current situation.
Jiang Ying looked at her face, and when she mentioned the past, she couldn't see her unwillingness and injury, as if she had no choice but to realize it.
"Mother-in-law" Jiang Ying had a thought in her heart: "Do you still want to continue cultivating immortals?" β
The mother-in-law shook her head: "You should have felt it just now, my meridians are decaying, and the vitality of this heaven and earth no longer favors me." β
Jiang Ying suddenly pushed the needle and thread in his hand towards her: "Since you said that I embroidered exquisitely, then I will teach you this!" β
"But I still have to work......"
"Five days, no matter what kind of embroidery you make, I will give you five days' wages as a reward!"
"This ...... Isn't that taking advantage of you? β
couldn't resist Jiang Ying, the old woman sat in front of the window, watching Jiang Ying's slow stitching:
"This is called the needle, the end of the line outlines some shapes, this is the most basic, and then this is called the needle roll, I will first demonstrate the bright roll, this will expose the stitches, suitable for some sharp shapes. There is also a kind of leaf Tibetan rolling, just like this for a while, you see, the stitches are wrapped in! β
It wasn't until the sun sank that Jiang Ying said goodbye to the old woman: "I'll see you here tomorrow, by the way, mother-in-law, I don't know what you call it?" β
"My name is Xu Zhen'er, girl, you can just call me Mrs. Xu."
watched Xu Po go downstairs and leave the inn, far away until her slightly rickety back disappeared at the mouth of a certain alley.
"Xu Zhen'er, you have become an old woman in this life." Jiang Ying used a voice that only he could hear, and he was deeply emotional.
The heart of a young girl, from the furnace that changed hands several times to the famous Oiran Xianji in Qiantang, after having a good night with Jiang Wuya, who went crazy, gave away his century-old family background and turned himself into smoke, this is Xu Zhener's life.
I didn't expect to meet her in Liuxian Town.
The next day, Xu Zhener also brought her old best friend.
"Girl, I still think I took advantage of you, let her do embroidery work with me today to make up for my share, her name is Qian Duoduo, she is my neighbor for many years, although she is not as good as the girl, but she is also an embroidery girl."
"Ah, Granny Qian is good! You may be seated. After Jiang Ying greeted Granny Qian, he turned his head to look at Granny Xu: "This is also the case?" β
Granny Xu nodded: "She is a member of the Qian clan who cultivates immortals in Suzhou, she was only ten years old when the Qian family and the Shizhou Li family fought fifty years ago, and she had no chance to cultivate after practicing qi at the second level, and she did all kinds of work." β
The Li family in Shizhou is the Li family again.
Jiang Ying nodded, and after teaching the technique of "turning the needle", she asked the two mothers-in-law to try embroidering a round bead, and she secretly used her spiritual power to prop up an invisible barrier.
"Do you two still remember the Qi Refining Heart Method? When embroidering, keep repeating in your mind until you don't realize that you are repeating. β
"Why?" Granny Qian looked up and asked suspiciously.
ββ¦β¦ You should be the brightest for embroidery. β
The people in the inn looked up and down as a little girl taught two old women to embroider, and they couldn't read the discussionβ
"Look at it, this is the difference between an ordinary woman and Jiang Xian, from childhood to old age, she only knows embroidery and sewing."
Hearing someone whispering downstairs, Jiang Ying rolled his eyes.
"That's Jiang Xian! The fastest foundation building monk in history can no longer be judged by men and women! It is not a problem for a person to single-handedly take on hundreds of evil cultivators in Wuzhumen, even Jiang Wuya, who was a former genius and the pinnacle of foundation building, may not have this courage! β
Jiang Ying was stunned when he heard this, this Jiang Xian they were talking about...... It can't be yourself, right? Single-handedly picking up hundreds of evil cultivators? Isn't this rumor a bit outrageous?
