Infinite true path

Qingzhou, sandwiched between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, is a small state with a relatively remote location in the easternmost part of the entire Kyushu land.

Qingzhou, like Yuzhou, has only one city in the whole state, named Qingzhou City. However, the situation in Qingzhou is exactly the opposite of that in Yuzhou. It is a prosperous place in the secular world, but few immortals.

The reason why Qingzhou is like this is because Qingzhou has a unique geographical location and does not have the ability to gather spirits at all. Therefore, not even a single vein of spirit stone has appeared on Qingzhou. On the contrary, the soil here is fertile and the weather is smooth, similar to Yangzhou, so the food production is extremely abundant, making it a paradise for mortals.

Qingzhou is the only place in the entire Nine Provinces where there is an emperor. The emperor of Qingzhou, known as the Qingzhou Emperor, has been passed down from generation to generation for more than three thousand years without any major changes.

Therefore, Qingzhou is an area under the leadership of mortal emperors. Immortals are not respected here, only emperors are supreme.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no monks in Qingzhou. It's just that the people who come to Qingzhou are the kind of monks who have given up their pursuit of the great road, or who feel that they can't go any further in this life, or who are willing to fall. Most of these monks were greedy for all kinds of worldly pleasures and wanted to spend the rest of their lives happily, so they each found jobs among mortals in Qingzhou City based on their abilities.

For example, the imperial master of Qingzhou, the protector of the Qingzhou emperor, and even the guards of some large mortal merchants in Qingzhou may all become the choices of those monks. Therefore, the monks who come to Qingzhou serve mortals, and the rewards they receive are ordinary gold and silver, which can be spent in Qingzhou City.

Therefore, the level of cultivation of the monks in Qingzhou City is not high, and since there is no sect of cultivating immortals, they naturally do not have their own Taoism.

On this day, a new family moved into Luliu Alley on Chengnan Street in Qingzhou. There are only two people in this family, apparently a young couple in their twenties. The head of the family is named Huan.

South Street in Qingzhou City is not a place where the rich and powerful live, but it is not considered poor. Everyone does some small business, or makes a living by some craft. Therefore, the neighbors are very friendly. When they see new people moving in, they come out to have a look. The enthusiastic ones will also help and talk about the rules and customs around Qingzhou.

The people who moved here were naturally Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu. Since the two of them chose to become mortals, they should completely integrate into the mortal world, experience and live. Therefore, Qingzhou became their best choice.

As for why he chose Green Willow Alley on South Street, it was because Huan Yin used to be a child of a wealthy family. The life he wanted to experience should not be too wealthy, otherwise there would be nothing to experience for him.

And he also thought about it. Since he was a weapon master, he would become a craftsman in the secular world, open his own sword-making shop, and forge swords for mortals. Back then, Wei Bing once said that he entered the path by forging immortal swords from ordinary things. Huan Yin greatly admired this kind of courage, so he also wanted to do the same to gain a deeper understanding of the art of forging swords. Wonderful thing.

As for Ruan Shushu, her embroidery skills are extremely good. I don’t know where she, a disciple of the Immortal Sect, learned it from. However, Ruan Shushu's craft can also be used as a living.

Of course, Huan Yin also chose Green Willow Alley for another reason. It was because there were many people doing business here. If he wanted to buy something like fine iron and bronze, it was just a few steps away, which was very convenient.

Huan Yin and his wife rented a small courtyard house. Apart from a main house and three small rooms, there was an open space in the courtyard.

The two of them didn't need much space to live in, so they chose this small courtyard. It is enough to use the main house as a bedroom, one of the three huts as a kitchen, one for Huan Yin to make swords, and one for Ruan Shushu to weave.

"Brother, what's your name?" At this time, Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu were buying things for their new home. They were so busy that the neighbors were watching. A grandmother walked up to Huan Yin with a smile, pulled him and asked him.

Huan Yin bowed to the old lady: "Old man, little Huan Yin, this is my master...my wife, Ruan Shushu." Huan Yin opened his mouth, but almost called Ruan Shushu "junior sister."

Ruan Shushu's face turned red, and she bowed to the old woman: "Old man, Shushu is polite."

The old woman saw that Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu were very handsome. One was handsome and the other was as beautiful as the person in the painting, but they were so polite to her. She smiled and said, "My name is Wang Po. I sell watermelons at home. I live in your house." Over there. Did you just move here?"

Huan Yin said to Grandma Wang: "Well, my wife and I are from Yangzhou. Now that we have moved here, we plan to live there. I hope Grandma Wang will take care of me in the future."

Wang Po laughed and said, "Okay, you guys go to work first. When you're done, come to my house and eat watermelon!"

"Ah, what a beautiful sister!" A tiger-headed child on the street suddenly stuck his head out and shouted out when he saw Ruan Shushu's face.

There were many people standing on the street looking at Huan Yin and the young couple, but no one praised Ruan Shushu for her beauty. However, these people are either female concubines, or they have wives standing beside them and dare not speak out. But the child's words just now touched their hearts deeply.

Ruan Shushu's beauty is really shocking, which is why there are many people watching Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu when they first arrived.

Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu had almost cleared the door, returned the greetings to everyone, closed the door and retreated into the house.

"Senior brother, what do you think we still lack?" Ruan Shushu asked Huan Yin.

Huan Yin looked around and replied: "I don't seem to be lacking anything, but I have an extra senior brother."

Ruan Shushu was surprised: "What do you mean?"

Huan Yin asked: "What should you call me?"

Ruan Shushu reacted immediately, her face turned red: "Mr...Mr.

Huan Yin was so happy that he hugged Ruan Shushu tightly and whispered, "Madam, we will live here for the past eighty years."

Ruan Shushu responded softly, but it was as inaudible as the buzzing of mosquitoes.

From the moment they entered Qingzhou, they absorbed all their spiritual power and completely transformed into mortals. Naturally, they used their mortal power when doing things.

Therefore, they had just bought this yard, and there were too many places that needed to be cleaned. In addition, everything was new and needed to be placed one by one, which took them most of the day.

Until the evening, Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu looked at their new home. Although they were tired, their faces were full of happy smiles.

"Madam, I'm going to buy groceries." Huan Yin said to Ruan Shushu as he saw nightfall coming.

"Buying groceries?" Ruan Shushu is a fairy. Naturally, she hasn't had a meal in an unknown amount of time. How can she have any idea that it's time to have dinner?

Huan Yin laughed: "Since we are mortals, we naturally have to eat."

Ruan Shushu nodded, but then asked: "I...I don't know how to cook."

Huan Yin laughed: "I can!"

Under Ruan Shushu's surprised gaze, Huan Yin took a small vegetable basket and went out.

Green Willow Alley is really very convenient. Normally at this time, no vegetables are sold elsewhere, but here there are still some vegetable farmers shouting on the street. Although the side dishes at the moment are not too fresh, they are still better than nothing. Huan Yin bought a lot before returning leisurely from the vegetable market, thinking that he had never experienced such a life before.

On the way home, very close to Huanyin's courtyard, there was a table set up in front of a small shop, and an old man was writing by himself in the last light of the setting sun.

This old man was single-minded, and he was not distracted even in this street full of shouts. Huan Yin admired him very much, so he leaned over to read his writing.

The old man's writing is sharp, strong and restrained, which is quite typical of everyone. Huan Yin grew up in the Huan family and knew a little bit about calligraphy. He couldn't help but praise: "Good calligraphy."

The old man ignored it, but Huan Yin didn't care either. He saw that every time the old man finished writing a piece of calligraphy, he would hang it next to it, as if for sale. There were also many framed words, and it seemed that they were all written by him.

Huan Yin thought it would be nice to hang some beautiful calligraphy at home, so he asked: "Old sir, how do you sell these calligraphy?"

Business came to the door, but the old man didn't raise his eyes and replied: "One tael of silver a piece."

One tael of silver per set is naturally not expensive for everyone's calligraphy, but to sell one or two pieces of handwritten calligraphy in this small market place is naturally too high. Huan came from a merchant family and knew how to bargain, so he asked, "Can it be cheaper?"

"It's not a penny," the old man said firmly, still not looking at Huan Yin.

A man sitting outside playing with his children saw it and said to Huan Yin: "You are the new brother Huan, right? This old man's name is Lu Shu. He is a failed scholar. He is rotten and doesn't treat anyone well." See, don’t be like him.”

This man's words have two meanings. One is naturally that Lu Shuren is not easy to contact. The second one did not want any misunderstanding among the neighbors. After all, Huan Yin had just arrived and did not understand Lu Shu's temperament. This also shows from the side that the neighbors have actually accepted Lu Shu's character for a long time.

Huan Yin smiled at the man, then turned to Lu Shu and said, "Sir, if I pay you five taels of silver, how about you write a special calligraphy for me?"

Lu Shu kept his hands on his hands and asked, "What do you want to write?"

Huan Yin laughed and said: "Eighty years passed by in my life, and I only loved the mortal world and not the immortals."

When Lu Shu heard this, his hands trembled and he stopped. He looked up at Huan Yin for the first time and asked, "Mr.'s surname is Huan?"

Huan Yin replied: "My dear Huan Yin, sir, please give me the words."

A faint smile appeared on Lu Shu's face, which made the man next to him look shocked because he had never seen Lu Shu smile before.

On this day, all the neighbors in Luliu Alley on Qingzhou Chengnan Street knew that a newly moved couple named Huan, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, adding a lot of beauty to Luliu Alley.
