You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 538 I want to try my luck

It was getting dark, and when Shi Xiaoliu and the other two returned to the yard, they accepted the kind greetings from their neighbors.

Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions told their neighbors that they picked some medicinal herbs and sold them directly to the pharmacy in the city.

The neighbors also comforted the three of them: "Now that you know the place, you can pick more herbs next time and earn more money."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two thanked the neighbors for their kindness and also said that the owner of the pharmacy had given them some good suggestions.

For several days in a row, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two went out of the city to collect herbs. They had lived in the city for such a long time and were now interested in the medicinal herbs on the mountains.

The three of them liked spending time in the mountains more and more, and the closer they got to the top, the more they could feel the rich spiritual energy on the top of the mountain.

At dusk, Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions were on their way back to the yard. After saying hello to their neighbors, they casually mentioned that they were going to climb a higher mountain the next day.

They would not return to the city at night, but would rest outside the city for one or two nights.

After the neighbors asked them which mountain they wanted to climb, they looked at the three of them in admiration: "Now we really know that you really like to travel in life."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two could only smile and listen to the neighbors' reminder: "It's quite cold in the mountains. You will be staying there overnight. Bring some thick clothes when you go out tomorrow."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two smiled and nodded. After they entered the courtyard, they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They like this kind of sincere concern, so when they act, they also take the neighbors' thoughts into consideration.

The next day, when it was a little brighter, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two walked out of the yard. They were the first group of people to leave the city.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw them, they would smile and say, "It's cold, you should get down the mountain early."

"Sir, we are not coming back tonight. We are going to climb to the top of the mountain."

"Oh.

Then you should bring thick clothes, because it will be freezing on the top of the mountain."

"We brought it with us and put it in our bag."

The bags of Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were indeed bulging. After they walked away, the people at the city gate had almost dispersed.

Two soldiers guarding the city thought of Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions who had left the city, and asked curiously, "Why aren't they leaving now?"

An old soldier standing nearby listened to them and said: "The weather is getting colder, and they are used to walking.
They have lived in our city for so many days and have gotten along very well with their neighbors. I think they decided to stay after hearing how lively our New Year celebrations are. "

"Will those geishas from last year come back to sing this year?
They sing so beautifully, my grandmother is looking forward to hearing them perform."

"Yes, my great grandfather also said that the old songs they sang were authentic."

"I heard that your great grandfather was quite a man when he was young."

"Don't talk nonsense. Last time, because of what others said, my grandmother blamed my grandfather for being too popular and making me jealous."

When Shi Xiaoliu and the other two left the city and reached the mountain path, they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Then their figures flashed and floated directly to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two set up a protective barrier around them, then each took out a thatched hut and settled down.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan admired Xia Yu's thatched cottage very seriously. The more they looked, the more they wanted to laugh.

Xia Yu glared at both of them angrily: "Isn't the thatched hut my grandfather built for me good?"

"it is good."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan praised Xia Yu's thatched cottage loudly: "It's great, very delicate.

Hey, where is your little house from before?"

"I gave it to my father, and he said he wanted to modify it again."

After the three of them settled down on the top of the mountain, in the evening, they sat on Shi Zelan's roof and talked as they did in the past. "We haven't had such a leisurely life for many years."

Xia Yu sighed with some emotion, and Shi Zelan smiled after hearing it: "So we must cherish the present time.

When you each have a Taoist partner in the future, don’t miss the present time.”

"why?"

"Too much talk leads to mistakes."

Shi Xiaoliu replied to Xia Yu with great understanding. Shi Zelan nodded and said, "I should have accepted a disciple by then. I shouldn't have time to reminisce about the past."

"My father sent me a message that he will not come to look for me in the near future."

"My master said that he is worried about my junior brother and he will not come over in the near future."

"My master sent me a message last time, saying that my master uncle has finally found a disciple that suits his taste."

The three exchanged recent news, and Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "We are already Jindan Zhenren, we should let the elders rest assured about us."

"I've been away for such a long time and have been safe. I think my father and the elders at home should be relieved about me."

"Me too, uncle and master should be relieved about me."

Shi Xiaoliu looked at the two of them and said, "My master accepted another disciple because he trusted me."

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu looked at each other and said in unison: "We will also persuade my master (my father) to accept another disciple who suits his mind."

After they talked for a while, they went their separate ways.

When Shi Zelan was meditating, she seemed to hear someone calling her.

She frowned and said, "All mountain monsters and goblins, retreat."

However, the voice had not left yet, and it was vague that the person had sent a message, but Shi Zelan could not hear it clearly.

When it was daybreak, Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu woke up and saw Shi Zelan searching for something all over the mountains.

"Sister Lan, what are you looking for?"

Shi Zelan told them what happened that night, and after listening, Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu searched the entire mountain top together.

Xia Yu said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, please take another look at the situation tonight."

Shi Zelan nodded: "I actually suspect that this place is close to a passage leading to somewhere else."

That night, Shi Zelan meditated and practiced, and passed the time very safely.

The next morning, Shi Zelan shook her head at Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu who were waiting outside: "No."

That day, the three of them picked a lot of herbs in the mountains, and in the evening, they returned to the city.

The neighbors nearby saw the smoke coming from their roof and came over to ask about Shi Xiaoliu and the other two.

Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "The scenery on the top of the mountain is so beautiful. Let's go to other mountaintops in a few days to have a look."

After hearing this, the neighbors looked at Shi Xiaoliu and advised, "Brother Shi, it's going to snow soon.

You guys should wait until the weather warms up before going to the top of the mountain to enjoy the scenery.”

After listening to his neighbors, Shi Xiaoliu looked around and whispered, "We actually heard from the doctors that there is a kind of herb growing on the top of the mountain. It is very medicinal at this time of year, so we want to try our luck."

The neighbors were relieved and encouraged: "You are doing the right thing. Young people should not be afraid of hardship.

If you want to go, go early, before it snows."
