With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 57 The world is like this
  Bamboo stick straw sandals are lighter than horses.

Whoever is afraid can live his whole life with just one smoke.

This is since Li Zhen came to this world.

For the first time, leaving the capital.

Enter the vast and magnificent world outside.

But at this time, there was not much tension or fear in his heart.

in contrast.

Li Zhen's eyes were full of novelty.

My heart surged.

It is also like the sudden and broad-minded meaning revealed in Su Weng's poems.

The human world, the rivers and lakes.

he came.

The vast Zhou Dynasty has endless mountains and rivers.

After all, a scroll of paper cannot describe its waves and magnificence.

After walking out of the Chuixiang Tower, Li Zhen finally saw the real world.

Similarly, I also saw the real world.

Jianghu is not fighting and killing, but human beings.

Thanks to Zhao Shenyue, the killer star, he has been cleaning up for decades.

In the past years, that ancient sect inheritance has long been shattered.

What followed was the rise of Jianghu gangs that gathered together with various interests as the hub.

There are hundreds of boats vying for the current and roaring in the canal.

No. Power.

There are those who control the mountain roads and master the levels.

Call yourself money.

There is Wanma Tang, which sells horses, Fuwei Bureau, which sells bodyguards, and Swordsmen's Club, which sells smugglers.
  Been there, seen it.

I have also experienced it myself.

Li Zhen discovered.

He had a new understanding of Jianghu.

It doesn’t matter what it says in the book or what others say.

Jianghu is not what they described.

In his opinion.

Jianghu is a business.

Of course, this is just Li Zhen's current view.

Maybe if I see more in the future, I may have newer insights.

Except for Jianghu, whom he most wanted to see.

Along the way, he witnessed a lot and saw a lot.

At the end of the second year of Tianshou.

Li Zhenchu ​​left the capital.

Aimlessly, we traced our way up the Zhuo River.

He once participated in the opening ceremony of the river with countless trackers by the Grand Canal in winter.

Go shirtless and sing ballads.

I also ate rough pancakes with them, which were only breakfast and dinner.

very bitter.

But it's not as painful as the chaos of swords and soldiers, and the heads are rolling.

God granted three years.

He left Tianqian Pass in the north and entered Xin'an.

Experience the unique cultural features of the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties.

When an epidemic broke out, he once rescued a blind old performer.

Learn erhu with him and perform on the streets together.

Walking through the streets and alleys, squatting on Tianjie Avenue.

I have received countless rolls of eyes and received countless cheers.

No fixed place to live, but home everywhere.

Until the old man died.

Li Zhen took the erhu and went on the road again.

God granted five years.

He crossed Jinchuan and entered Lanzhou.

In the Desert Inn.

With the slender landlady, I witnessed the swordsman and the thieves fighting for profit.

But because he laughed too unrestrainedly, he was hunted down by both sides.

He ran and they chased.

The landlady smiled wildly.

God granted six years.

He continued to move forward and entered the homeland of Zeng Jin Dabai Gaoguo.

Sing loudly beside the West Sea and feel the vastness of the world.

Maybe it was sung too beautifully.

He attracted a red-faced girl who herded yaks and wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law.

He smiled and refused.

But he couldn't bear the warm invitation and drank a few cups of butter tea.

In return, he also helped her family drive away some third-rate warriors who called themselves Xingxiu Palace.

The great master will not come out.

Innate martial arts is the pinnacle of the world.

Li Zhen only showed a trace of martial arts will.

He scared them to pieces and ran away in confusion.

At the same time, I got a little fan girl.

He also felt a little bored.

original
  The world is worse than he thought.

Jianghu relies on the strong to bully the weak, uses the big to bully the small, and takes advantage of others by force. But he has never been chivalrous, tender and righteous.

The dream is a bit shattered, but there seems to be some enlightenment.

Chivalry on the surface, but interests on the inside.

Isn't this the two sides of yin and yang, opposing each other?

[You try to look at things dialectically, understand the way of yin and yang, and make progress in the true meaning of martial arts]

"It seems that I still have a lot to learn."

The light in his eyes flashed and he said something.

Li Zhen rode on the yak given by the girl's family and continued to ride away.

I don't know how long it took.

It seems that I have stepped from the plateau to the flatland again.

The long-haired yak was in some discomfort.

He was snoring and looking a little sick.

Li Zhen thought that maybe it was time to sell the man who had been with him for some time.

As for the release?

Forget it.

In the middle of nowhere, without his protection.

The final destination of ordinary domestic animals is a skeleton.

It's just an end sooner or later.

Along the way.

A vicious wolf that eats people to the point of jealousy.

A tiger and leopard with inner energy, a huge python as thick as a wheel.

Except I have never seen a giant eagle flying in the sky.

He has gained experience and has encountered them all.

It is indispensable to eliminate harm for the people.

It's just that it's always after a nighttime barbecue at this time.

Li Zhen always thinks of the pool at home.

That, unsatisfactory turtle.

There is no shortage of pills and precious medicinal materials.

But after all these years, he still looks like a bird.

It's a bit interesting that Zhao Shenyue praised it.

What's the point?
  How can I live longer than him!
  "Unsatisfactory stuff!"

"I don't know if it will remain the same after I go back."

Even though he said so.

But to be honest, I still miss it a little bit.

But that’s it.

This line is not over yet.

a few days later.

Li Zhen entered a river valley oasis.

Among them, there is a small town.

It was quite lively with people coming and going.

Pulling at his beard that had grown to his chest.

He felt that he needed to go in and rest.

However, before that, he needed to go to the bull market to exchange for some money.

The town is not big, so you can get your bearings by asking around.

Not close yet.

From a distance, I saw more than ten people gathered together.

The sound of heated conversation was heard.

"Steward, steward."

"Please add more, this old cow has exchanged money and I want to hire an enlightened teacher for my child."

"But the price you are giving me right now is really too low."

The sound of pleading for mercy sounded.

As soon as he heard this, the image of an honest and honest farmer came to Li Zhen's mind.

Suddenly a thought flashed in his mind and he took a few steps forward.

"Humph!"

There was a cold snort without any warmth.

"Ma San, it's not that I don't want to add more to you."

"But if you let everyone judge, this old cow cannot be farmed after being bought, and the meat is old and useless after being slaughtered."

"If I add more money to you, I have nothing to earn in the first place. Now I have to pay for it. How can I make it happen?"

After hearing this, the onlookers also tried to persuade Ma San.

Let him almost sell it.

If you don’t have enough money left over, just make up for it.

The worst thing is, just hire an enlightened teacher for another year.

It's not a big deal.

After hearing this, Ma San lowered his head and remained silent.

It can be seen that he is already hesitating.

"it is good"

He raised his head, just as he gritted his teeth and agreed.

A man who looked very slovenly, but had a pair of clear eyes that looked like a snow-capped mountain and a heavenly lake, caught his eye.

"If you don't mind it, I'm willing to trade this yak for your green cow."

"Then, let me recommend myself."

"I have traveled far from the capital and want to rest here."

"If this big brother is willing to take me in for a while, then I can do what Teacher Kaimeng can do."

The understatement came out of Li Zhen's mouth.

When he was done, he raised the reins in his hands and added:
  "what do you think?"
