Chapter 17 Ruoshuang Danqing Pavilion
Ruoshuang Danqing Pavilion is in the east of Liuyunzong Mountain River Bay, Huo Danian's home is in the west, and you have to go through the entire alley from home to Danqing Pavilion.
The monks near the neighborhood all know that this name is to commemorate the former Taoist Xue Ruoshuang, who has passed away from Danqing Shi Huo Danian, and people have a deep respect for this, feeling that the deceased is great and the couple is deeply affectionate.
In fact, this small shop has a low façade and a light business, and it looks like it will close at any time, but it has survived for many years.
Shanhewan is in the middle of the city of Liuyunzong, not far from the past is the Hufang Bridge, the road surface is paved with bluestone slabs, because the terrain is low and flat, waterlogging will be formed in the rainy season, so the monks who have a large number of spiritual stones will not live in this area.
On the wall at the corner of the street is Huo Danian's sign written in cinnabar: Ruoshuang Danqing Pavilion, thirty steps inward. This only sign attracted him a lot of business. Once, Huo Danian's daughter quarreled with him, and in a fit of anger, she changed thirty steps to three hundred steps, and Huo Danian didn't find out for a long time. Business was less than half during that time.
In the year of the birth of this Danqing Pavilion, Huo Danian's son Huo Ran was ten years old, and his daughter Huo Wanwan was almost fourteen years old.
If you look at the history of the practice of Nanzhan Buzhou, you will find that it was an extremely important year, a year in which the trend of seeking change and advocating independence swept the entire spiritual world. Individual loose cultivators, represented by restless young monks in various sects, sprung up in the major sects, and the scene was extremely lively.
These new generation of monks are all open and closed, and they are all practical four-character mantras of "wealth, law, couples, and land". No one pays attention to the step-by-step cultivation method anymore, and they don't look down on the monthly subsidies issued by their respective sects, and every monk is trying their best to find a shortcut to cultivation.
The consensus of all the monks is that other things are not very reliable, and finding a way to earn more spirit stones is the right way. In today's era, nothing is as affordable as holding a spirit stone, with a spirit stone, exercises, caves, and Taoism, it is not a matter of course.
Those middle and high-ranking monks who had a certain status in the various sects all looked at the joke gloating at first, thinking that they were just ignorant people, just clowns who came out to embarrass people and add to the joke. Immediately, he was surprised to find that these monks who could jump seemed to have benefited in a short period of time.
Huo Danian, a disciple of the Lingshu Peak of the Liuyun Sect, was originally a Danqing master in the Moyun Pavilion of the Lingshu Peak. He is quiet and handsome, even if it is not frontal, many female cultivators will be obsessed when they look at his side face, there is no doubt that he is the best-looking male monk in this neighborhood nearby, even if the entire Liuyun Sect is estimated to be. Being a Danqing master is very particular about physiognomy, and those female friars who like to paint and love painting are especially picky about this.
Good things can't be taken over, and in this regard, Huo Danian has both won respect and jealousy. One day, the new shopkeeper of Moyun Pavilion asked him to repair some tools, and Huo Danian was very conceited and said that he couldn't do chores, so he was directly sent to clean up. Within a few days, Huo Danian handed in his resignation.
People think he is crazy, and he doesn't want to be a good Danqing master's serious identity in the sect, so he comes out to do loose cultivation in anger and mixes with a group of loose cultivators.
His daughter Huo Wanwan asked him loudly: "Why do you want to do casual cultivation?" He rolled his eyes and thought for a moment and said, "I'm not going to do any casual cultivation, I want a world of my own." Huo Wanwan couldn't understand the difference at all, she was just a fourteen-year-old girl, and it was impossible for her to understand the thoughts of an aspiring middle-aged Danqing teacher.
In short, not leaving the sect and being able to be a skilled casual cultivation is the most popular mode of cultivation nowadays, which can not only enjoy the most basic protection of some sects, but also earn spirit stones with ability and ability, which can be said to be a choice that can be advanced or retreated. Accidentally, this single-parent cultivation family has also come to the forefront of popularity, the former Danqing Master Huo Danian of the Lingshu Peak Moyun Pavilion of the Liuyun Sect, he has now become a well-known and beautiful Loose Sect cultivator.
The good thing is that all the spirit stones earned are your own, which is gratifying, but if there is a big natural or man-made disaster, you can only rely on yourself.
How an ordinary middle-aged monk like him, who was fragile, soft, and a little squeamish, would have tied himself to an upper rope, God knows.
The original site of the Wakashuang Danqing Pavilion was originally a pill shop under the name of Aoki Mine, but the business was not good and it was closed, leaving an empty façade. With Huo Danian's strength, he can only afford to rent half of it, and the remaining half is a shop for the corpses of the Liuyun Sect's Corpse Raising Peak.
Huo Wanwan was scared to death, she was actually very bold, but it was impossible for a girl not to be afraid of ghosts. Huo Wanwan thinks that her father Huo Danian is a big fool, and he actually lives next to the shop that collects corpses, although the name sounds very similar, but the female cultivators like to go to the jewelry shop, and I haven't heard that anyone likes to go to the corpse collection shop.
In fact, Huo Wanwan is still young, she only knows one thing, but she doesn't know the other, and the corpse collection shop has brought a lot of business to the Ruoshuang Danqing Museum. Most of the fallen monks needed their portraits, and they were painted here. What's more, the corpse collection shop is open at twelve o'clock during the day, so that other shops next to it can also get a lot of light.
Huo Ran spent most of his youth in the Danqing Pavilion, but the strange thing is that he couldn't even tell what his Danqing Pavilion was like when he grew up. Because of the layout of the museum, the background and something.
What remains unchanged is his father Huo Danian, who sits behind the counter when he is fine, and all year round, he wears crisp clothes, and a pair of polished soft-soled cloth boots on his feet, always keeping him neat and smiling. Sometimes you feel that he is not a monk, but more like a businessman in the mortal world, but Huo Ran knows that his father has been cultivating silently, and he calls this heart refining.
There is a lonely studio in the Danqing Pavilion, and when Huo Danian is painting in it, the counter is held by Huo Ran or his sister Huo Wanwan, who is a girl who is not very patient, and often runs out to play, leaving the boy alone. The boy Huo Ran likes to stay here, and he thinks that Danqing Pavilion is like a harbor, including the home not far away, including this street called Shanhewan. Huo Ran didn't feel that this kind of life was boring at that time.
Sister Huo Wanwan is just the opposite, she doesn't like it here at all, she feels that she was born in Liuyun Sect, lives in a house belonging to Lingshu Peak, eats the spirit pork of the spirit beast lineage, cultivates the exercises of the battle martial arts lineage, takes the pill refined by Aoki Peak when she is sick, and even if she dies, she has to be dealt with by the Corpse Raising Peak, which is an extremely terrifying and boring thing.
In the Danqing Pavilion, you can meet many acquaintances of the Liuyun Sect, who are gradually growing up or slowly aging, sometimes there is someone more, or someone is missing. Huo Wanwan looked at the portraits of her father Huo Danian, and felt that all acquaintances were like strangers, and she didn't like this feeling.
