Nine Heavenly Towers

In the evening, Xuan Mu led Xu He and his son and Xuan Ji to a restaurant, led them to eat and drink in the restaurant, and reminisce about the past.After that, they found an inn to live in.

He also ordered Uncle Xu to help him find a house, saying that it could be rented or sold, and he planned to live in Yangzhou for a long time.

In the early morning of the next day, Uncle Xu took Xuanmu and the others to see the house, which was located in the south of Yangzhou City, not far from Cuiyuanfang.Although it is not in the city, it is also leisurely and quiet.

Without further ado, Xuanmu asked the landlord, "How much is the annual rent for your house?"

The owner of the house is a sturdy middle-aged man who is a bit fat. He thought about it and said bluntly: "If you sincerely want to rent, I will give you a real price, ten taels of silver a year."

"The yard is not bad, but you have ten taels of silver here..." Xuanmu didn't say anything in the middle of his words.

"Success, young master. You see, how about nine taels. It will last for a long time." Seeing Xuanmu's hesitation, the sturdy middle-aged man hastily interrupted.

"Since you sincerely want to rent, then I will pay you a fair price. How about five taels?" Xuanmu stretched out his five fingers and said lightly.

"Five taels??? This..."

"Don't want this or that, if you are a man, you should be happy." Xuan Mu became a little impatient.

"Okay, let's go to five taels." The middle-aged man's expression of reluctance to give up love made people dumbfounded.

After the matter of the house was settled, Xuan Mu took Ye Xiaofeng and Xuan Ji for a walk around Yangzhou City.

All the more famous delicious, delicious, fun, and beautiful places in Yangzhou City have been visited.Talking about it is nothing more than wandering around in restaurants, teahouses, casinos, square markets and other places.

The Duanyang Festival on the fifth day of May is coming soon, Ye Xiaofeng and the two young lovers have no intention of leaving, but shamelessly said that they will stay at Xuanmu's house, that they must stay in Yangzhou to accompany Xuanmu to enjoy the lanterns .

Indeed, Yangzhou is already decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, just waiting for the lantern festival in five days.

In Yangzhou City, beside the canal, the lights were shining brightly, and all kinds of lanterns were available. Ye Xiaofeng led Xuan Ji to look around excitedly, pointing with four paws.

This made Xuan Mu who was following behind extremely depressed, and kept an expression that I didn't know them all night.

However, at this time, Chang'an, the capital city, was experiencing a scene that Xuanmu could never have imagined.

Xuan Yan and Xuan Yu are watching the Lantern Festival on the streets of Chang'an. The Duanyang Lantern Festival on May [-]th is so lively.The two met by chance on the streets of Chang'an. One is the fifth son of the emperor, and the other is the daughter of a great general. It seems that there is nothing wrong with the two of them watching a lantern together, right?

It's just that Xuan Mu couldn't think of it, they just watched a lantern together, and nothing misleading happened.

The Duanyang Festival on May [-]th passed, and Ye Xiaofeng finally planned to leave and return to Luoyang.This made Xuan Mu, who had been busy entertaining the two of them, heave a sigh of relief. He was really amazed by these two living ancestors.

"It's a good journey, be loving. Don't quarrel, it's okay if you quarrel, quarrel at the head of the bed, make peace at the end of the bed!" When Ye Xiaofeng and Ye Xiaofeng were about to leave, Xuan Mu insisted on seeing them off at the Ten Mile Chang Pavilion. Let the snot burst into tears!

Good guy, Xuan Mu who has been working all these days is almost going bankrupt.After leaving these two, can Xuanmu not be grateful?

"It's okay, I'll come to you as a matchmaker if we quarrel." The two said in unison, and they had already walked further and further away.

"Looking for me? What are you doing for me? Do you think it's true to send the Buddha to the west? How did I know these two rotten people? Even if I did, how did I bring them together? What are the things? It’s really heaven’s sin that’s forgivable, but self-inflicted sin can’t live.” Xuan Mu kept introspecting in his heart, until the two of them walked a long way and regretted it endlessly.

As soon as he returned to the small courtyard, Xuan Mu began to meditate. Recently, he has felt the bottleneck of the third floor.Especially the experience of these days made him understand some spiritual power absorption techniques.For example, if you use spiritual power frequently, it will be absorbed faster than when you don't use spiritual power.While consuming spiritual power, the spiritual power in the surrounding air is constantly being absorbed by it.

He closed the door, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.He held a wood spirit stone in his right hand. This wood spirit stone was taken from the huge green spider. As for why there was a green wood spirit stone on the spider, he was not very clear.

Under the supply of spiritual power from the wood spirit stone, Xuanmu barely managed to break into the fourth floor of the Qi refining period, but if he wanted to be completely stable, he might not be able to achieve it in a day, at least it would take half a month just work.

After entering the fourth floor of the Qi refining period, Xuanmu officially integrated into this small village.

The small village is called Xutou Village, and there is an old man in the village.

The old man can cure some intractable diseases, and he can also teach children how to read.However, although there are many children in the village, not many are willing to follow the old man to learn how to read and write.

When Xuan Mu has nothing to do every day, he will go to listen to some articles from the old man.

For some reason, every time Xuan Mu looked at the old man, he would think of the old man who gave him Buddhist beads and taught him how to read and write.

The old man has passed away, and Xuan Mu and Uncle Xu's family buried the old man in Longjian Ridge in the southern outskirts of the city.

That day, after the old man finished his lecture.Xuan Mu still looked at the old man motionless, in a daze.Seeing the young man looking at him like this, the old man asked with a little interest: "Lin Mu, why don't you go back?"

"Oh...!" Xuanmu woke up when he heard the words, sneered, and said, "Sir, I still have doubts, and I would like to ask you, sir. What is Tao?"

"Tao? Are you asking about the avenue or the path?"

"What is the road? What is the path?"

"The avenues in the world are formed by many people walking. The mountain trails are small paths because few people walk them. No matter the avenues or trails, they are all doing their best and walking according to their positions." The old man said eloquently, with a secretive look.

Xuan Mu nodded his head as if he had realized something, and walked slowly towards the outside of the yard.

"Regardless of the avenues and trails, we are practicing it. It is not about the vertical and horizontal aspects of the Tao, but the whole process of the body." Xuanmu murmured softly.

"Lin Mu, wait a moment." Suddenly, the old man called Xuan Mu who was about to leave.

Xuan Mu turned his head in surprise, looked at the old gentleman suspiciously, and asked, "Old gentleman, do you have something to say?"

"Lin Mu, since you understand the beginning and end of Dao, I think you and I are destined, how about we talk about Dao tonight?" The old man smiled kindly.

"Then thank you very much sir, Lin Mu is what he wants." Xuan Mu couldn't help but said happily.
