Xu Xian's family lives in the west of Qiantang County, and the houses in the vicinity are all low and old. The bluestone slabs on the ground have also been pitted, and I don't know how many hundred years have been baptized. Ordinary wealthy families live in high-rise mansions and will not be in this kind of place.

But the scenery here is good, there is a small river in the middle, and the houses are built along the river. When Xu Xian returned home, it was already evening, most of the households on both sides of the river bank had already smoked, and there were women washing vegetables or washing clothes on the stone steps by the river.

Xu Xian walked home, and the women on the shore would greet him with a smile when they saw him, and said, "Hanwen is back?" Xu Xian also smiled and greeted politely.

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and everyone is very familiar with the street that lives on the same street. In addition, Xu Xian's parents died when he was a child, and he and his sister Xu Jiaorong depended on each other, and the neighbors on the street took good care of them, and they would try their best to help if they could, and Xu Xian's sister and brother were grateful to these neighbor elders.

When she got home, Xu Jiaorong sat at the door, taking advantage of the last bit of sunset to concentrate on needlework and helping others sew clothes, which was also one of her jobs.

Xu Jiaorong is ingenious, the needlework is extremely beautiful, and the fee is cheap, a piece of clothing only costs ten yuan, so people in the neighborhood are willing to ask her to sew up their clothes when they are torn.

Seeing Xu Xian coming back, Xu Jiaorong stopped what she was doing and quickly got up to cook.

The dinner is very rich, not freshly made, it is the tribute to the ancestors in the morning, braised yellow croaker, fried tofu, Qingtuan, braised pork, etc., just need to heat it up.

At noon, Xu Xian didn't go home to eat, and Xu Jiaorong didn't move these good dishes that were rarely eaten on weekdays, and all of them stayed.

Xu Xian didn't speak, just looked at it silently.

Xu Jiaorong is used to leaving all the good things to him, no matter how she says, she will not change, Xu Xian can only think of ways to make money as soon as possible and improve the environment at home, and when the time comes, her sister Xu Jiaorong will naturally not have to wronged herself.

"Sister, the silver you gave today was not spent, and I put it on the table. Xu Xian took out his money bag and said.

"Why didn't you spend any money, didn't you eat at noon?" Xu Jiaorong asked while busy in the kitchen.

There are two types of poetry meetings.

One is that officials, royal relatives and nobles, and famous people hold poetry meetings, which are not easy to participate in, and they must be qualified to go only if the host gives them an invitation. After you go, you just recite poems and eat and drink for free, and you don't have to spend money.

There is also a kind of gathering of a group of scholars themselves, and they naturally have to bear the responsibility of eating and drinking.

Xu Xian and He Liang were not eligible to participate in the first type before, so they spent money every time they participated in the poetry meeting.

"Uh......" Xu Xian scratched his head and said, "He Liang has a treat today." ”

"That's not good. In the future, you can't let He Liang treat you when you go out, you can spend all the money yourself, and your sister will give it to you. After putting the dishes into the pot and steaming them, Xu Jiaorong walked out and admonished seriously: "You don't often chant a sentence, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between villains is sweet." If you don't pay for a treat every time you go out, even the best friends will get sick and slowly alienate you. We can't be cheap, you know?"

Xu Xian nodded helplessly: "Got it." ”

Although Xu Jiaorong is meticulous in her love for Xu Xian, she is also very strict in education.

However, Xu Xian is not a person who takes advantage of others, and he really didn't spend money today, because he didn't want to tell Xu Jiaorong.

You can't say that you were dragged to the Qinglou by He Liang today, right? Then Xu Jiaorong really wanted to be angry and let Xu Xian break off relations with He Liang.

After eating, Xu Jiaorong began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, while Xu Xian went back to the house to light the fuel lamp to study.

In this era, there were no entertainment, no after-dinner walks, and curfews, and long nights were hard for a modern person.

Today, Xu Xian didn't read the Four Books and Five Classics again, but read the "Dadong True Scripture" given to him by Taoist priests in Guangning.

The books are simple, and the feeling is actually the same as ordinary books, but Xu Xian always has a different feeling, and his heart is quite excited.

This is no wonder to him, after all, as the soul of modern Chinese, there is no one who is not curious about the ability beyond nature. Most people have had the chivalrous dream of going to the end of the world with a sword when they are young, let alone facing the opportunity to become an immortal and escape the world?

The miraculous means of the Taoist priest of Guangning only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg, which made Xu Xian's heart yearn for it.

After taking a few deep breaths and calming down his excited heart, he officially turned the page.

Although the "Dadong Zhenjing" is not a mysterious and precious scripture of Taoism, it is widely circulated, but it can be called one of the most authentic scriptures, and it is the most classic representative of the Shangqing school of Taoism.

Xu Xian can read the words recorded in it, but its meaning is plausible, and there is a feeling of seeing flowers in a fog.

In the scriptures, there are occasional illustrations, which are the postures of the human body's five hearts facing the sky, and many acupuncture points are densely marked on them, which Xu Xian can't understand.

As for the back of the scriptures, it is introduced that if there are several kinds of talismans that can be depicted, Xu Xian can't feel the mystery now.

"God is condensed in the void, the wonderful changes and there is no way, there is essence and Taiding shines, too mysterious and boundless to keep quiet, it is called the big hole. ”

"The life of a human being is also endowed with Tai Chi, and the law of movement and stillness is in heaven and earth; ”

couldn't understand the meaning contained in the scriptures, Xu Xian was not discouraged, but suppressed the initial excitement in his heart, completely calmed down, and patiently went to the reader repeatedly, figuring it out, and did not feel bored.

The souls of the two lives were fused, and Xu Xian's perseverance and comprehension increased a lot.

Read the book a hundred times, and the meaning will be seen by itself.

No matter how profound a scripture is, there is always something to gain after reading it several times.

Time passes imperceptibly, the moon rises into the sky, and the outside world is silent.

Xu Jiaorong had already finished cleaning up, tiptoed to the door of Xu Xian's house quietly, and took a look at the situation in the house through the cracks. When he saw Xu Xian picking up the lamp and reading at night, he didn't dare to disturb, and quietly returned to his room, with a faint smile on his face, ready to sleep. I thought that my brother would stay up late at night to read, and he would have to boil more eggs for him tomorrow morning to make up for it.

Soon, Xu Jiaorong fell asleep peacefully, and she had to get up early tomorrow, she had a lot of work in her hands, and there were many customers' dirty clothes waiting for her to clean.

For these, Xu Xian, who was engrossed in reading the "Great Cave True Scripture" repeatedly, did not notice it.

He was at a loss at the beginning, and gradually entered a mysterious state.

What you see in your eyes and what you say in your mouth is still those scriptures, but what you feel in your heart is different.

"Save the qi of the five directions, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and the twenty-four stars, and remove the false and retain the true!"

Suddenly, as if encountering an opportunity, Xu Xian's soul consciousness suddenly soared, suspended in the air above his head, and bloomed with a faint light, illuminating the darkness.

Originally, the souls of ordinary people could only be imprisoned in the body, and there was no way to leave the body on their own initiative. If you don't return for a long time after leaving the body, it is equivalent to death.

Xu Xian didn't know what state he was in at this time, he only knew that in the dark, he seemed to have broken some kind of confinement, a completely different mysterious world, and opened a door to himself.

Since then, the root of the road has been planted, and the world is different!
