Chapter 22, Shanhai Xue Palace
Putting away the silver smoker, Xiao Mo put it into the storage bag, hung the storage bag around his waist, and then pushed the doors and windows, walked out of the room, and came to the inn lobby.
It was the first time in a month that he had walked out of the room and into the lobby.
The way of civil and martial arts, one gallop. Nothing should be too tight or too loose, because too much tension will make people easily tired and the strings will break, and too lax will make people forget diligence and hard work, and become worse day by day, and eventually fall completely.
Zhang Chi has a way to ensure that when a bow and arrow is really used, it can aim more accurately and shoot farther.
In the past month, in order to break through to the eighth level, Xiao Mo has completely ignored tea and dinner, ignored everything, and devoted himself to cultivation.
And he's been in Haicheng for a whole month, and he hasn't gone out for a good time.
Now that we have reached the eighth level of concentration, it is time to relax and rest before continuing.
Moreover, even if he doesn't need to go out to relax and rest, he can continue to cultivate, first, it will take longer to break through to the Nine Folds, if he follows the usual method, he is afraid that it will only take three months for Xiao Mo to succeed.
The second is that the entrance trial of the Four Great Palaces is close at hand, if Xiao Mo only breaks through to the ninth layer after three months, it is estimated that the admission selection of the Four Great Palaces will be over long ago, and he can only drink the northwest wind.
Of course, Xiao Mo still had a gray level cold ring vermilion grass unused, if he wanted to, he could take it at any time and be promoted to the ninth grade.
However, because he had already taken one strain when he broke through to the Dingqi Rank before, if he used it again at this time, it would easily cause Xiao Mo's foundation to be unstable, and it would be even more difficult to advance to the Freedom Realm in the future.
But all external things, although they can be used as temporary assistance, they can't be blindly pursued, otherwise, they will cut off their own way forward, and Xiao Mo will not take it.
Therefore, Xiao Mo went out this time, not only with the intention of resting, but also to see if he could find an opportunity for an "epiphany" to shorten the time to break through to the ninth grade.
Cultivators, it is good that you need to cultivate step by step, but there is also an epiphany in mind cultivation, if you once realize the Tao, you may be able to leapfrog the content that others can only cultivate for years or even decades in a short period of time, and that is also a very normal thing.
Sometimes, it may be just by seeing a spring, a tree, a sky, or a meal, you can realize the Tao and become a great progress.
In addition, when Xiao Mo first came to this Red Leaf Inn, he had only booked a month, and now, a month has passed.
Even without the above reasons, he always needed to come out and renew the room.
And he is not a person who eats the ancients, so it is only natural for him to come out to walk, eat, and see this sea city.
There are some things that cannot be rushed, especially this kind of thing like cultivation. Coupled with the macaroni needed to find a breakthrough in his heart and be promoted to the Easy Realm, Xiao Mo had no reason to continue to stay in the inn.
As for the cold ring vermilion grass, it was the last path he had to choose when he was helpless and had no other way, and Xiao Mo was naturally unwilling to take it at present.
......
First, in the lobby, he renewed the room payment for a month, and then Xiao Mo asked the shopkeeper where there were more special snacks nearby.
The shopkeeper is obviously familiar with this, because he lives in the inn, there must be many people who ask him this question all the time, so he picks up a few distinctive ones.
When Xiao Mo heard this, he thanked the store and walked out of the inn.
After leaving the inn, Xiao Mo did not immediately go to the snack bar recommended by the store, but turned around and came to the humble flower shop he saw next to the alley next to the red leaf inn a month ago.
Because the Red Leaf Inn was not far from that small alley, Xiao Mo soon came to the alley, his eyes turned inward, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
It is still a few small shops paved with old wooden boards, and the various flowers placed outside the shops are still dazzling and delicate, competing for glory, making it difficult to take your eyes off.
But what stunned him was not this, but in front of the store, the green cloth master he saw that day was gone, but replaced by a beautiful woman in green clothes, who was bowing slightly, watering the flowers there.
This woman in Tsing Yi was facing the door of the store, and Xiao Mo was standing at the mouth of the alley, so she could only see one side.
But even this side is beautiful.
Looking from Xiao Mo's side, he only saw half of a face like ice and snow, as if carved jade, with a long green silk draped down, as if the clouds were soaked in ink, filled with an indescribable elegance.
She shouldn't be very old, just one or two years older than Xiao Mo, but her every move is full of some wonderful charm, which makes Xiao Mo stand in place for a moment.
It wasn't until the woman in green clothes seemed to realize something, turned around, and glanced at him, that Xiao Mo suddenly woke up, and couldn't be surprised by the woman's beautiful face just now, as if she had come out of the painting, he lowered his head and fled again.
For some reason, every time he went to this flower shop, he always ended his gaze by escaping, which is why he was a little shy about his faux pasa staring at a person, but the deeper reason was obviously not these.
There is always an air of joy and mystery in that flower shop, which wants to make people close for no reason, but on the contrary, it seems to be a beautiful and delicate dream, which makes people suspect that it is just an illusion.
After walking out for a long time, Xiao Mo came back to his senses and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
I am also a well-informed person, two lives, and my mental experience should be more mature and stable than others, how did I get to that flower shop, and there is always a phenomenon of mental instability?
Is it true that I have returned to my youth, or is there really a wonderful magic in that flower shop, which has made me addicted to it and lost its former level?
After all, he has now reached the cultivation of the eighth grade and has a certain mental realm, no matter what he sees, it shouldn't be like this, Xiao Mo can't figure it out.
Following the road pointed out by the innkeeper, it didn't take long for Xiao Mo to come to the front of a store that seemed to be inconspicuous, but it was almost full at any time, and looked at the seven words 'Lao Li's Lantern Shadow Beef' on the plaque, and without hesitation, Xiao Mo raised his legs and walked in.
It happened that a table of guests left after eating, he walked to the seat and sat down, asked for a bowl of beef noodles that the boss was full of, and then called the shopkeeper who was just about to leave and asked him about the flower shop.
"You mean the flower shop?"
Hearing Xiao Mo ask, and seeing the two small pieces of copper crystals he threw on the table, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly brushed his hand and put the two pieces of copper crystals in his hands. Then he glanced left and right, and then said cautiously: "Hey, the guest officer really asked the right person, I know the flower shop, don't say I know, in the whole Haicheng, I'm afraid there are not many people who don't know." ”
"Speaking of which, this flower shop seems to have been open for a long time, as if it has been opened there since I can remember it when I was a child, and the owner of the shop is named Mr. Liting, and legend has it that he was originally a teacher, and then he quit, so he came to this sea city and opened this flower shop. ”
"Not to mention, Mr. Liting is really quite knowledgeable, although he only spent a small flower shop, I don't know why the flowers there are always brighter than other places, and they will not rot for a few days after buying back, and they have been as lifelike as when they were bought, and it usually takes half a month, or even half a year, for the flowers to slowly begin to fade and wither, so there are really many people who love to buy flowers in his store. ”
"Mr. Liting has been in Haicheng for more than 20 years, he used to be alone, but since more than ten years ago, I don't know where he picked up a pair of baby girls, and then raised them to adulthood. Now it is simply a flash of inspiration, and the two famous beauties in our Haicheng have aroused the covetousness of many people, but those who beat their ideas did not end well in the end. ”
Later, everyone said that the flower shop was evil and did not dare to approach, and the flower shop gradually fell. However, even so, the old gentleman and his two adopted daughters did not seem to care about the income and the flow of people in the flower shop, they were happy when someone bought them, and they took them out with a smile, and when no one bought, they also opened the shop day by day, day after day. ”
"The girl in green clothes you asked, that should be Mr. Liting's eldest disciple, that is, the first baby girl he bought, named Shi Yingxia, is now the inner courtyard disciple of our Haicheng Shanhai Xue Palace, so there is less time to go back to the flower shop, but usually I will go back once a few days to help the old gentleman take care of the flower shop. ”
"This teacher girl, not only is she beautiful and has an outstanding temperament, but also has a very high talent for mental cultivation, even in the Shanhai Xue Palace, she is also known as the Tsing Yi Sword Monarch, that is, she is not only beautiful and picturesque, but the sword also makes it otherworldly, not that mortals such as me have the opportunity to climb. ”
"Oh, Shi Yingxia?"
Xiao Mo muttered, keeping this name firmly in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the stunning glance at him by the girl in green clothes before parting, and he was indeed worthy of this name.
Shi Yingxia, Shi Yingxia, is actually a disciple of the inner courtyard of the Shanhai Academy, no wonder it is so extraordinary.
"What about the other one, and another girl, how is it, what's her name?" Xiao Mo couldn't help but ask curiously again.
"Hey, hey. ”
When the shopkeeper saw Xiao Mo's appearance, he thought that he was thinking about the two girls in the flower shop, and pretended to say mysteriously: "Another girl, not surnamed Shi, we all call her Yan'er girl, because her name is Qu Feiyan, she is very elf and eccentric, she is the most troublesome girl around, and she is also a student of the Shanhai Academy, but she is just a disciple of the outer court." ”
"When you see her, stay away, she's not as talkative as her sister, and if you see someone with ill intentions toward her, she'll be able to make you suspect that you were born in this world. ”
"Oh, yes! I'm curious about her. ”
Secretly remembering the name Qu Feiyan in his mind, Xiao Mo waved his hand to let the shopkeeper step back, ate the beef noodles after dividing five by two, leaving a few copper crystals on the table, and left the old store and came to the street.
Since he has been in Haicheng for so long, he has never been anywhere, but he can't help but see the four views of Haicheng today.
And the so-called four views of Haicheng, ranking first, is naturally one of the four university palaces in Lingzhou, the Shanhai Xue Palace, which is Xiao Mo's destination today.
He was going to take a look at the Shanhai Academy Palace that he was going to join first, to see if it was worthy of its name, and also to prepare for this trial in the future.
After asking others for the path, Xiao Mo walked directly towards the outside of the city.
Because according to passers-by, the Shanhai Xue Palace was not built in the city, but in the Purple Palace Mountain in the north of the sea city.
