"Compared to the cold in the clan, Loulan... is really hot. Is this a private room?"
"It's much prettier than my room in the clan!"
The pearl leads the way, and the elegant room upstairs must be the best, with the largest space, the most gorgeous decoration, and the most stylish charm.
After bringing a pot of expensive tea, the waiter left to prepare the real food and drink.
The young woman with a round face is new to everything here, and it is very different from the tribe. Although the tribe is also slowly changing, it is much worse than here.
I touched the wooden pillars in the private room and found beautiful patterns carved on them, which I had never seen before.
Then he touched the screen in the private room. It was decorated with Sichuan brocade and silk. The exquisite weavers made the color bright and eye-catching.
There are also some other interesting things in the private room, some of which are present in the clan, and some of which are not. Some of them know what they do, and some of them do not.
My room in the clan is just a very simple wooden house with not many things in it. This place... is different.
"Drink tea!"
"We have enough time next."
Xuan Mu sat quietly on the soft couch in front of the window, looking at the teapot in his hand. It didn't seem to be pottery. I had seen pottery before, but nothing so beautiful.
Is it new pottery?
Drink tea?
I also experienced it back then, and my family also had Haoye.
Moreover, the taste of the millet leaves is better, but... This pot of tea is not bad, the smell of the tea is quite pleasant, and when poured into the tea cup, the soup becomes golden.
very good!
He took a sip and nodded slightly. Looking at Xuan Zi, who was still looking around in the private room, he couldn't help but smile. He seemed to be like this back then.
It is actually a ban within the clan. Under normal circumstances, one is not allowed to go out, otherwise... it would not be the case. Of course, there are no special circumstances.
But... under special circumstances, even if you can go out, you have to come back soon.
"Sister Xuanmu!"
"After we have seen the seal of Jiuli Soldier Lord, are we going to the Jiuzhou Zhuxia? That is the place with the most prosperous records in the clan's classics."
"It's even more prosperous than here, with thousands of people."
The young girl with a round face quickly held the dagger in her arms and sat on the other side of the soft couch, where Sister Xuanmu had already pushed over a cup of tea.
Putting down the dagger, he held it with both hands and looked at the... pottery in his hand? The pottery is also very beautiful, much better than the ones in the clan.
The tea cups in the clan are all made of jade, cold jade, not good-looking.
Sister Xuanmu, a scholar, took a sip and savored it slowly. Well, actually she couldn't taste anything.
It's not bad to drink.
Compared with the centifolia tea soup in the clan that is helpful for spiritual practice, this tea soup... does not have that kind of power. If you smell it carefully, it is quite fragrant.
"After inspecting the seal, we will head to the Kyushu provinces in the east."
"This restaurant was opened by people from the Qin State. There must be more luxurious restaurants in the Qin State, and there must be more delicious things."
Xuan Mu nodded.
"Sister will take you for a nice stroll around Jiuzhou Zhuxia, and then you can go back."
"And...there are a lot of things to buy."
Seeing Xuan Zi finish the tea soup in his hand in two gulps, Xuan Mu smiled again, then picked up the teapot and filled Xuan Zi's cup.
"Then...is Sister Xuanmu looking for someone to take her life?"
Xuan Zi's round and tender face narrowed her eyes even more happily, and then continued to drink fragrant tea, although this kind of tea has no effect on spiritual practice.
But... the taste is okay. I have never drank it before. Please drink more.
"Then it depends on Haotian's opportunity."
"The man of life!"
"To be able to catch my eye, you need to have enough cultivation."
"If there is no suitable person, then just invite someone at random, and use the clan's secret method to unite one's life and life, and produce the fruit of the mysterious female!"
Xuan Mu gently shook the cup in his hand.
The man of life!
That is the custom in the clan. Although many clan members don't care about this, but... I have experienced some people and things with Sister Xuanjun.
Human life is not so unimportant.
If you have that Haotian opportunity, you should gain something.
Otherwise, forget it and don’t force it.
"The man of life!"
"Is it different from those invited by the clan?"
The round-faced childish woman asked.
"It's different."
"Life and life are one, let's practice together in infinite ways!"
"Three lines of Taoists, those that remain in the clan have complete methods that can directly reach the realm of all things. Life and life are integrated and cultivated together. Rong Chengzi, senior Jiutian Xuannv, and senior Jiuyou Sunu all have their origins preserved."
"With my sister's current state, if I can find a person who can live my life and practice with secret methods, I can understand the truth clearly."
"Reunite and return to the original state!"
"Otherwise, we have no choice but to continue practicing my current Xuan Gong."
Xuan Mu shook his head, looking for someone with whom his life and life were one, not only for the inheritance of the family, but also for his own cultivation.
Sister Xuanjun could have made a breakthrough back then, but..., Haotian is impermanent.
"Sister can definitely find it."
Xuan Zi drank the tea in one breath.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"There are too many things."
“It smells so good!”
“There’s a lot of drinks too.”
"..."
After a while, I watched the people in the restaurant place dishes one after another on the large dining table, and watched the waiters bring in jars of wine one after another.
It’s really a lot.
Scanning the dishes with different colors and flavors, the round-faced young woman wanted to start eating directly, but those people were not done yet.
Still continuing to load things.
Can one pearl buy so many things?
No wonder Sister Xuanmu carries so many pearls with her. Fortunately, I also brought some with me, so I can probably buy a lot of things.
The dishes were served very quickly, and I had never even heard the names. Following Xuan Mu's order, the waiters in the restaurant left one after another.
Xuan Zi knelt down and sat down on the desk, holding chopsticks and starting to move.
“So delicious!”
"The person just now said that this dish is crystal elbow. The name is not bad. I think it is delicious."
Xuan Zi picked a piece of meat from the crystal elbow and tasted it slowly. The next moment, his eyes were filled with light and his face was even more joyful.
"I've definitely never eaten these things before."
Xuanmu was also looking forward to it, and he also took out a small piece of meat from the crystal elbow with chopsticks. This thing... had never been eaten before.
taste?
Really good, really good.
Absolutely good, there is no such taste in this family.
"Is this... rice noodle meat?"
When the dishes were served, a waiter mentioned the names of the dishes while serving them. Xuan Zi also wrote them down one by one, and his crystal elbows were like this.
I couldn't help but pick up another piece, and then my eyes fell on another dish.
rice flour meat!
Looking at the pieces of meat... it should be delicious. Among the family's recipes, there is very little meat, mostly fruits and vegetables.
In fact, the meat is quite delicious.
Immediately, he took a piece, stuffed it into his mouth, and narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.
"This is... secret sauce beef?"
"The clan also has beef, but the color and taste are not like this."
Xuan Zi kept talking while eating. Although he was not big, he ate very quickly. He could only take a few breaths of food before entering his stomach.
His eyes fell on another dish.
Beef with secret sauce!
The tribe also has beef. The beef in the tribe is either directly grilled over a flame or eaten in a stew. Is this the secret sauce beef in front of you?
No!
I don’t know how it tastes!
He picked up a piece with wooden chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth. Immediately, Xuan Zi's happy little face showed... endless enjoyment.
"These things... are really good."
"How about some wine."
Xuanmu barely stopped holding the wooden chopsticks in his hands. He had never eaten these things before, but the key point was that they tasted really good.
No wonder it is the number one place to eat and drink in the city.
Worth a pearl.
After eating six dishes in a row, I felt something was missing. I raised my hand and saw a jar of wine in front of me. It was what was missing.
Her beautiful eyes glanced at the seal of the wine jar, and she took it off with invisible force. In an instant, the aroma of wine filled the air. Without hesitation, she took a big sip from the wine jar.
"Sister Xuanmu, I want it too!"
Xuan Zi's mouth was full of oil and water after eating at this moment, and some of it was on Qiong's nose. As she spoke, her mouth was still bulging with food.
When he talks, his already round face becomes much rounder.
"Give!"
Xuanmu threw the wine jar in his hand.
“So delicious!”
Xuan Zi swallowed what was in her mouth, scanned the dishes that were left, and with a different kind of satisfaction in her beautiful eyes, she took the wine jar and drank a lot in one breath.
"彽肉子!"
“Secret Roast Chicken!”
"Sausage!"
“Fried shrimp!”
"..."
"Sister Xuanmu, how about we invite the chef here and let him cook something for us?"
There are more than forty dishes placed on the large dining table.
In the middle, a waiter knocked on the door again and brought new dishes.
A pearl that is about an inch in diameter is worth more than a hundred gold, at least several hundred gold. Tianshui Restaurant is doing normal business.
If the other party demands that everything be fulfilled, then it must be fulfilled.
This pearl must be earned.
After sweeping away nearly half of the food left, Xuan Zi paused the movements in his hands, bent his knees and sat cross-legged, performed seals with both hands, and used Xuan Gong to quickly digest it.
I still want to continue eating.
Sister Xuanmu's cultivation level is higher than hers. She doesn't need to stop practicing, she just refines it directly, with almost no impact.
Moreover, Sister Xuanmu’s belly is not weird either. Her belly is obviously bulging. She ate too much and drank too much wine.
"You!"
"Don't worry, we have enough time."
"Although these things in Tianshui Restaurant are very good, there are more delicious and better food in Kyushu and Zhuxia in the far east."
"I'll have something to eat for you then."
Xuan Mu was eating something with one hand, and raised his other free hand. His heart turned randomly, and a beam of ice-colored mysterious light flowed out, covering Xuan Zi's body.
Use your own power to help her refine the things in her body.
Otherwise... given that Xuan Zi is not yet at Wuxu's level of cultivation at the moment, if he wants to refine it, it would take at least half a stick of incense and a stick of incense.
During this period, the dishes are cold and not tasty.
"If we don't have any more options by then, we'll invite the chefs here!"
Xuanmu felt that it was necessary, at least let the chef of Tianshui Restaurant improve the food and drink in the family. The same beef was cooked very well here.
The clan... seems to have no taste.
Although the clan pays attention to tranquility, few desires, the way of eating, and even more emphasis on fasting grains and nourishing the body, but... delicious food always tastes better.
"Thank you, Sister Xuanmu!"
With the help of Sister Xuanmu, the things in the body were directly refined, and the bulging belly returned to its original smoothness.
Xuan Zi was delighted.
Get into the mood of fighting for delicious food again.
…
…
“The food was really good.”
"It's a pity...Sister Xuanmu, your cultivation level has not reached the realm of Hedao. Otherwise, by controlling the void, we could take away a lot of things."
Two hours later.
When Xuan Mu and the two came out of Tianshui Restaurant, there was still a pearl left. Xuan Mu directly rewarded the waiter with the recovered treasure.
Following Sister Xuanmu, Xuanzi inserted the dagger he carried at an angle into his waist, because both hands were occupied at the moment.
One hand is holding a bamboo basket, and the other hand is holding food. There are many things that can be eaten at any time, such as the fried chicken legs that I am eating, which taste great.
"In the future, when you reach the realm of Hedao, you can freely enter and leave the clan. If you want to eat, you can come directly."
Xuan Mu said interestingly.
Looking at Xuan Zi who was still eating non-stop, she shook her head helplessly and told her that there were more good things in the lands of Kyushu.
She insisted on eating enough now.
"After you finish eating, we will go to that secret place. If there is no problem, we will set off to the Nine Provinces."
"With my sister's speed, it shouldn't be slow."
"That...is the good place."
Xuan Mu thought for a while and took out a fragrant chicken wing from the bamboo basket. This thing... is really well made, and the key spices are also in place.
The spiritual sense spreads, and one looks at Loulan City, the core of the city. There... is the purpose of this trip. It has always been the responsibility of their clan to protect the sealed place of the Jiuli Soldier Master.
It has never changed for thousands of years.
Since ancient times, every thirty or fifty years, members of the clan have come to investigate.
"Um!"
Xuan Zi's little mouth was stuffed with chicken legs, and she could only nod.
After finishing the food in the bamboo basket, I can finish it quickly. I hope that as Sister Xuanmu said, the summers in Kyushu will be better.
"There...there are so many people gathered there?"
"Preaching the Buddha?"
"Xuan Zi, let's go over and take a look!"
As he ate the chicken wings in his hand, his spiritual senses moved slightly, and his attention shifted from the capital of Loulan to another place, which was a square in front of the capital.
We gathered in the royal capital, separated by a watery lake. At this moment... there were many people from the city going to the square, and there were even several barefoot and bald men sitting on the ground preaching the sermon.
According to the old man's memory, those people were from the Pagoda and came to the foreign Peacock Country thousands of miles away.
"Preaching the Buddha?"
"good!"
Xuan Zi’s round little face showed no comments.
The city is not big, so the two of them went there and arrived within a short time. Before they even arrived, clear and loud sounds could be heard in their ears.
"At that time, Manjushri Dharma Prince Bodhisattva Mahasattva spoke to the Buddha and said something."
"World Honored One, these Bodhisattvas are very rare. Because they respect and obey the Buddha, they have made a great vow to protect, uphold, read and expound the Lotus Sutra in the evil world to come. World Honored One, Bodhisattvas and Mahasattvas, how can they say this in the evil world to come?
through."
"The Buddha told Manjushri to answer the question."
"If the Bodhisattva Mahasattva wishes to recite this sutra in the future evil world, he should abide in the four dharma."
"..."
"The Bodhisattva Mahasattva observes that all dharmas are empty, as they really are, not inverted, immovable, not retreating, not turning, just like space, without any nature."
"All speech and Tao are broken, do not arise, do not come out, do not rise, are nameless, have no form, have no real possessions, are immeasurable, boundless, unobstructed, and have no obstacles. However, they exist due to causes and conditions and arise from reversal. Therefore, we say that we should always be optimistic about the appearance of the Dharma!"
"..."
What is the truth behind the foreign pagoda?
The man from Futu who is preaching is actually no weaker than himself. Is there such a powerful inheritance in a foreign land?
Xuan Mu had already finished the chicken wings in his hand, and there was an extra chicken leg that Xuan Zi generously sent to him. He ate it slowly without being polite.
I can understand the sound of the Buddha in my ears. It is the language here in Loulan. I learned it back then. Xuan Zi should also be able to understand it.
On the way here, I had already passed on my spiritual awareness to her.
When I heard those words about the Buddha, I seemed... I couldn't quite understand them, but I could still figure out some things. It doesn't give birth, it doesn't come out, it doesn't stand up?
Isn't it the Taoist's lack of persistence?
Furthermore, from the point of not holding on to the wonderful realization of the void, and the Tao, we can grasp the realm of all things, and even get a glimpse of a better realm of integrating the body with all things.
As for the other ones, I don’t quite understand.
What kind of Bodhisattva?
What is the Lord's?
What about the Lotus Sutra?
…
"Sister Xuanmu, what is he talking about?"
"Why can't I understand?"
"Can they all understand it?"
Xuan Zi also listened to the words of the bald man. After a few breaths, he shook his head, expressing that he did not understand and that it was different from the principles of his own cultivation.
As he said that, he took a bite of chicken wings and looked at Sister Xuanmu.
"It should be the principle of pagoda."
"I don't understand normality."
"That's it...when this person preached, he boasted about the World-Honored One. He was omnipotent, an existence that blends into all things, and an existence beyond the Tao."
"Listen to this...the World Honored One saw the Asuras and preached the Dharma for himself. The bodies of the Buddhas, golden light, emitted immeasurable light, illuminating everything, and preached the Dharma with the sound of Sanskrit!"
"The Buddha knows his mind and goes deep into the Buddha's way, which is the prophecy. He will achieve the most perfect enlightenment, realize all realities, go deep into meditation, and see the Buddhas of the ten directions."
"Even the ancient Yaochi Golden Mother Yuanjun in the clan did not say this!"
