Chapter 80 (The First Thousand Miles Journey Part 1)



After lunch, Yan Zixiu rode his bicycle back to the base and began to prepare for the retreat.

He put two million yuan in a box and asked Xiao Wu to be found: "Xiao Wu, this is a fund to help families with needy patients. When Director Ma sends someone to pick it up, you give it to him."

Xiao Wu was used to his lavish spending: "Hey, he donated another two million. Then where are you going?"

"Director Ma and I have agreed to spend a day in retreat in the meditation room on the third floor."

"What is seclusion?" Xiao Wu was curious.

"On this day, I stayed alone in my room, not interacting with other people, and practiced alone."

Xiao Wu let out an ooh and asked, "What about eating?"

"There is hot water in my room. Just prepare some food for me the night before." Yan Zixiu patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder, "I don't need to worry about the base matters."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure everything is properly arranged and no one will disturb you."

"By the way, yesterday I saw some employees' clothes were a little shabby. I guess their families are not very wealthy. Here are forty sets of clothes. You let everyone pick one, including yourself. From now on, we will issue clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

One set." Yan Zixiu pointed to the mortal clothes he took out from the Immortal Mansion and said to Xiao Wu.

"Isn't it enough to only pay those employees from poor families? Shouldn't we stop it?" Xiao Wu asked.

"If it is only given to the poor, wouldn't it highlight their difficulties? Give it to them all, so that no one will feel it." Yan Zixiu explained.

Yan Zixiu's thoughtful consideration for everyone made Xiao Wu feel the spring breeze blowing on his face.

He felt that he had grown up again: "I understand. Then go and prepare for retreat. I'll ask Cao Jiaojiao to cook you one more day's worth of food and put it in a lunch box."

"There is no need to prepare meals for the day, just one meal is enough. You can't eat much in seclusion." Yan Zixiu thought to himself that he might have to eat in other places when he was traveling far away. It would be a waste to prepare too much. "Tomorrow is Sunday, everyone is going to eat."

Rest. You arrange for one person to be on duty to look after the base, and the person on duty will be paid overtime pay."

"Okay." Xiao Wu responded and went to work.



At around nine o'clock in the evening, Yan Zixiu made preparations in front of the meditation room on the third floor.

He had never been to faraway places in the country, let alone going overseas alone for the first time. He couldn't help but feel a little excited, excited, and faintly timid.

This is somewhat similar to the feeling he had every time before going to a new school since he was a child.

However, having the Immortal Palace with him is his greatest confidence.

Yan Zixiu locked the door of the meditation room and summoned a spirit puppet from the fairy mansion. He asked the spirit puppet to change into his own appearance and sit here as a substitute.

He sensed the Xianfu products circulated from the Canton Fair, selected one of them, opened the invisible transmission light door, and observed the situation on the other side in one direction. He saw that the sun was shining brightly on the opposite side, and it was daytime.

Based on the time difference, he estimated that the distance this time was not close, maybe it was on the other side of the earth.

Looking at the environment opposite, it looks like a waterside park with few people around.

Yan Zixiu passed through the teleportation light gate and came to the waterside.

I saw that the water surface was very large, blue, deep and pure, reaching as far as the sky, with no edges visible.

There are some yachts and sailboats docked on the shore ahead, as well as a few people with yellow hair and white skin.

In the park on the shore, the green grass stretches into the distance.

Not long after the sun rose, the bright sunshine shone on the earth, making the waves sparkle and making everything shine. It is true that when the sun shines, the light shines, and when the wind blows, the waves rise.

Yan Zixiu looked at the water surface again. It was really huge. There was no such big water in his hometown Yingtian area. What kind of place was this?

He went to the place where the boat was parked, ready to inquire.

A white young man was packing up the boat. Yan Zixiu greeted him: "Hi, hello. Where is this place?"

The other party was a little curious. Everyone had arrived at the scene, but they didn’t know where it was: “Hello, are you from a far away place? Well, this is Lake Michigan.”

Lake Michigan? I came to the third largest lake in North America? Yan Zixiu has a good knowledge of geography and reacted immediately.

"Thank you. Yes, I came from afar."

"Welcome, do you want to take the boat?"

Surfing on a boat in this late autumn season? Forget it. Yan Zixiu has been afraid of the cold since he was a child. Although his health is better now, his habit still makes him flinch.

"Thank you. I'd better take a walk first."

"Okay. Goodbye."

Yan Zixiu has an excellent memory. He remembers that in middle school geography class, it was said that the water area of ​​Lake Michigan is more than 50,000 square kilometers, 517 kilometers long from north to south, and 190 kilometers at its widest point.

This is huge, bigger than the five Yingtian areas.

He walked along the road by the lake, basking in the sun and blowing the autumn wind, feeling quite comfortable.

From now until the end of the retreat, if he doesn't sleep, he has nearly seventy hours to travel, which is relatively plenty of time.

Someone here should have used the samples produced by Xianfu, so his portal can be located here. As for who has used it, there is no need to worry about it.

After a leisurely walk, Yan Zixiu came to a ginkgo forest.

The tall and straight ginkgo trees have smooth trunks and graceful postures. It is now the late autumn season, and the golden leaves of the ginkgo trees are dazzling in the sun. The clear blue sky above the trees gives people an ethereal feeling. They fall to the ground.

The ginkgo leaves are like small golden fans unfolding on each side, covering the earth with a golden carpet. The occasional falling leaves are like dancing yellow butterflies.

He liked this ginkgo forest very much and walked there.

When he was approaching the edge of the woods, Yan Zixiu saw a man sitting on a bench.

This man is in his thirties, has thick hair, deep eyes, a square face and a straight nose, and is quite handsome.

The man also saw Yan Zixiu, smiled and said hello: "Hello."

"Hello." Yan Zixiu saw his kind face and wanted to communicate. After all, traveling thousands of miles is not just about seeing the scenery. "What is your name?"

"Milton," the man replied, "and you, young gentleman?"

"Mr. Milton, my name is Yan Zixiu. Are you here to enjoy the scenery?" Yan Zixiu said.

Milton said: "Yes, I am waiting for an old classmate of mine at the same time. Mr. Yan, would you like to sit down and chat?" As he spoke, he moved to one end of the bench, his movements slightly stiff and slow.

Yan Zixiu used the Qi Watching Technique and the Time Recall Technique to look at him, and he understood in his heart.

"Thank you. I'm not familiar with this place and I just wanted to find out more about it." Yan Zixiu sat down.

"This is very close to Milwaukee. Are you here for tourism?" Milton asked.

Yan Zixiu said: "Yes. There is a saying in our hometown that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. So my teacher asked me to walk around and look around."

"It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. This is very interesting. Let me guess, are you from China?"

"You guessed it right. Mr. Milton." Yan Zixiu smiled.

"I would also like to guess, Mr. Yan, you should be a doctor."
