Chapter 168 167 The noisy Xianyang City has a big heart!

After Ji Chen and his disciples left Meng Mansion, they entered the bustling and bustling Xianyang City. Ji Chen's purpose is to let A Liang and Dong'er experience life personally and understand the joys, sorrows and joys of the world. They walked through the bustling streets and observed the various happenings in the market.

"Master, this Xianyang City is really big. It's very lively with people coming and going." Aliang sighed.

Ji Chen smiled and replied: "Yes, this is the heart of the Qin State, naturally prosperous. You must observe carefully. Every person and every scene here is a part of your cultivation path."

They first came to Xianyang Market. The vendors here are shouting and shouting, and there is a dazzling array of goods. Dong'er walked towards a stall selling jewelry and observed the exquisite jewelry curiously.

"Miss, these jewelry are so beautiful. Did you make them yourself?" Dong'er asked.

The jeweler replied with a smile: "Yes, these are craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation by our family. Every piece of jewelry contains our hard work and blessings."

Ji Chen looked at Dong'er's interest in jewelry and said, "Dong'er, although material things are beautiful, don't be greedy. Remember, our practice is for the freedom of the soul, not for the constraints of material things."

Dong'er nodded to express her understanding. She knew that her master's words were reminding her not to get lost in the temptation of the outside world.

Then they walked to a teahouse. The teahouse was bustling with people chatting and laughing or talking in low voices. Ji Chen guided the two disciples to sit down and began to taste the famous tea there.

The owner of the teahouse came over and said to Ji Chen: "Dear guests, this is the specialty tea of ​​our teahouse. I hope you like it."

Ji Chen smiled and nodded: "Thank you for the hospitality. The aroma of this tea is really extraordinary."

They observed the people around them in the teahouse and listened to their conversations. A Liang overheard a table of guests discussing the recent market turmoil.

"Have you heard? The recent sudden increase in food prices on the market has made life difficult for many civilians." said a guest.

Aliang asked Ji Chen in confusion: "Master, why did the price of food suddenly rise? Isn't this unfair to ordinary people?"

Ji Chen sighed: "Everything in the world has its own laws. Sometimes, it is natural disasters that reduce food production, and sometimes, it is man-made hoarding. These are all realities that practitioners need to face."

Their conversation was overheard by the old man at the table next to him. The old man looked elegant and said to Ji Chen: "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, but things in the world are unpredictable, and it is difficult for even practitioners to understand everything."

Ji Chen nodded: "The old gentleman is right, we can only do our best and do our part."

Afterwards, they left the teahouse and continued to tour Xianyang City. They came to a bustling neighborhood where there were many performers. An acrobatic performer performed difficult tricks in the crowd, attracting bursts of applause from the audience.

"Look at that acrobatic performer, his skills are really amazing!" Aliang exclaimed.

Ji Chen explained with a smile: "This is a challenge and control of the physical limits. Every movement is a physical and mental exercise. Our martial arts training also requires such precision and persistence."

At this moment, a young woman suddenly fainted in the crowd. Ji Chen and his disciples immediately stepped forward to help. Ji Chen checked the woman's condition and found that she had fainted only from hunger and fatigue.

Ji Chen said to the people around him: "Please give her some space to breathe, she just needs some food and rest."

He instructed A Liang to buy some food and water, while Dong'er helped the woman sit up. Soon, the woman regained consciousness with the help of Ji Chen and his disciples.

"Thank you. I'm just too tired from work recently and haven't had time to eat." The woman said gratefully.

Ji Chen replied gently: "It doesn't matter, taking care of yourself is the most important thing. We are all passers-by, and helping each other is the most beautiful scenery in the world." Through this day's experience, A Liang and Dong'er gained a deeper understanding of life and practice. . They understand that practice is not only about improving martial arts skills, but more importantly, about improving the spiritual realm and gaining a deeper understanding and sympathy for the world and people around them.

In the evening, they returned to the inn. Ji Chen sat in front of the window, looking at Xianyang City in the night, and said to A Liang and Dong'er: "What do you think of today's experience?"

A Liang replied thoughtfully: "Master, I feel that no matter where we go, we can learn something from everyone and everything. Today I saw the busyness of the market and people helping each other. "

Dong'er also said: "I think everyone's life is not easy, and we should learn to be grateful and understanding. Whether it was the persistence of the jeweler or the strength of the fainted woman, I was deeply touched."

Ji Chen smiled and nodded: "You are all right. Remember, on the road to spiritual practice, the most important thing is the growth of the soul and the understanding of the world. Only when the mind is strong can we deal with it calmly no matter what difficulties and challenges we face. Of."

Early the next morning, Ji Chen and his disciples stepped into the historical ruins of Xianyang City. The sun shines through the ancient buildings, casting mottled light and shadow. Ji Chen pointed to the ruins of a majestic palace and told A Liang and Dong'er ancient stories.

"This palace was once the most glorious place of the Qin Dynasty. It has witnessed countless ups and downs." Ji Chen said in a deep voice.

"Master, this place is really spectacular. But why did such a magnificent building eventually turn into ruins?" Alian asked curiously.

Ji Chen replied: "This is exactly the lesson that history teaches us. No matter how powerful an empire is, if it ignores the people's hearts and morals, it will eventually decline."

They continued walking and came to a lively market. The market was bustling with people, and the vendors showed off their talents, attracting passers-by. In front of a cloth stall, a young female stall owner was bargaining with customers.

"This fabric is woven by our family. It is of high quality and the price is fair." said the female stall owner.

One customer said dissatisfiedly: "Your price is much more expensive than others. Can it be cheaper?"

Ji Chen watched this scene and explained to A Liang and Dong'er: "Fairness and integrity are very important in transactions. You can neither deceive customers nor exploit merchants."

They walked around the market and saw all kinds of people and things. In the afternoon, they came to a small school. The children are listening to the teacher's lecture attentively.

"Children, what we need to learn is not only the knowledge in books, but also the principles of life." The teacher said patiently.

A Liang and Dong'er were attracted by the children's concentration and the teacher's words. They quietly sat in the back and listened to a class.

"Master, those children are so serious." Dong'er said with emotion.

Ji Chen nodded: "Yes, knowledge and morality are valuable assets in life. Each of us should continue to learn and grow."

In the evening, they came to an ancient bridge in Xianyang City. There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the bridge, and vendors are selling at the bridge head, creating a bustling scene. Ji Chen stopped and asked A Liang and Dong'er to observe the pedestrians on the bridge.

"Look at that old man. Although he is faltering, his face is full of contented smiles." Ji Chen pointed at an old man walking slowly by and said.

After observing carefully, A Liang said: "Yes, Master, although he looks old, he lives a happy life."

"Happiness does not lie in external material things, but in inner peace." Ji Chen said profoundly.
