Wearing a light blue dress with fine lines of clouds and clouds, a near-color ribbon is wrapped around the waist, the silk sash is hanging down, and a sachet is swinging.
Wearing long boots, his steps are steady and steady, he is holding a long sword, his hair is swaying, his bright eyes are shining brightly, and his beautiful face is hidden.
Qing Lang spoke slowly, looking at Xuan Zi beside him, his spiritual sense spread to see his surroundings. As for the two horses, they naturally couldn't run far.
A few months ago, after leaving Xianyang in Guanzhong, he returned to Longxi, then went north to Beidi County, and then eastward from Beidi County.
Along the way, we walked to Shangjun, Jiuyuan, and the land of Yunzhong, and then entered Yanmen and Daijun. Some places are still familiar and have not changed much.
For example, in some places within the Qin State, the transformation of traces of elegance and splendor is limited.
The areas that originally belonged to the countries have changed a lot, and their traces are gradually being erased, even the language and writing have to be erased.
For the time being, they had a vague idea that some young people were using the standard writing system of the Qin State. Those writings... were taught to them by His Excellency Xuan Qingzi.
What he said also tended to be in the style of Guanzhong, the state of Qin.
Only some older people still have that charm and some past grace. In a few years, when they no longer exist, everything will change.
As a member of the clan, the last time Xuanjun’s sister took me to travel across the Xia.
This time, it was his turn to take Xuan Zi with him.
The purpose is simple.
Their clan needs to have a sufficient understanding of the land of Zhuxia. Their clan is far away in Kunlun, but in fact... its roots are also in Zhuxia.
After all... the purpose of reproducing their clan is to plunder selected people from the Xia. As for the Western Region, the Far West, and the barbaric land, it is not suitable for them.
By the way, I also learned about some of the evolution of the Xia, the different reasons for the rebirth of the Xia, and the hundreds of schools of thought over the past hundreds of years... It has benefited the clan a lot.
Some tribesmen with outstanding strength were selected to seek Taoism and inquiry in person, and gained a lot, and their own treasures were many exquisite.
And Zhuxia... is a place of treasures.
For thousands of years, two people have been born in Zhu Xia who are integrated with all things. This is a clear proof that the Taoist scriptures are also in the clan.
However, there are not many people who can understand one or two mysteries from the humble words.
On the contrary, there are many top strong men in the two sects of Taoism, Heaven and Man, who are unparalleled in terms of doctrine and practice.
Zhuang Zhouzi, who appeared in their clan decades ago, was the most dazzling existence.
Look at Zhu Xia with your eyes.
Use your ears to listen to Zhu Xia.
There is no need to do much else. If you really want to intervene and interfere with the affairs of the Xia, it is unnecessary and it is not in line with the principles of the clan.
For thousands of years, the clan has recorded many events in the Xia Dynasty, whether tragic or grand.
There are some things that cannot be accomplished by one person.
Along the way, I spent most of the time talking by myself, talking about my own insights, my understanding of Zhu Xia, and Zhu Xia's changes.
Xuan Zi is listening.
They were all eating and listening.
Although Xuan Zi is young, she is smart and has a keen mind. She has practiced cultivation and realized the truth. I believe in her.
The land of Daijun.
Thorny Mountain!
An incident from the Zhao Kingdom that happened hundreds of years ago. The sister of Zhao Xiangzi... died like that. Later, Zhao Xiangzi built a mausoleum for her.
They also ordered some people to guard it for generations. For hundreds of years, a small town appeared not far away, which is where they stay today.
"Sister Xuanmu, that sister of Zhao Xiangzi... why did she commit suicide?"
"Isn't it good to be alive?"
A little girl dressed in colorful embroidery followed closely, with a short sword slanted on her waist, her hair combed into buns, and decorated with small pearls and jade ornaments.
There is also a faint glow between the eyebrows, and the real face is hidden, not bright. At this moment, he is holding a paper bag in his arms and eating, and he can't stop eating.
The little mouth is constantly bulging, the cheeks are round, the little face is also round, and the eyes are bright and bright, looking forward and shining.
"I didn't understand it at first either."
"Later, I started to understand a little bit."
"This question... you have to learn to find the answer yourself. It involves one of the graces of Zhu Xia - ritual, and also the seven emotions and six desires of human beings."
"Since we entered Zhuxia, we have seen many, many people, and everyone is different, just like the flowers and plants here... There are no identical flowers and plants in the world."
"Every flower and plant is different."
"And every flower and plant has something in common. They follow specific rules and principles to operate. That is the Tao, and that is what we are looking for."
"That's what you need to understand."
"There are many scriptures and classics in the clan, and you have also memorized many of them. It is not easy to understand all of them when you are in the clan."
"Walking through the eight deserts and nine states of the Xia Dynasty is a very good way to practice and enlightenment."
Xuanmu smiled slightly.
Why did Zhao Xiangzi's sister commit suicide?
That's her choice!
That was also the choice of some similar people in Zhu Xia.
After you understand some truths, you will have feelings about her choice and gain something from it.
"All right."
Xuan Zi nodded helplessly.
Along the way, Sister Xuanmu said that many truths need to be understood by oneself, and she directly told herself the answer, without the clarity of personal understanding.
Immediately, he took out another snack from the paper bag and ate it.
This kind of snack... is quite tasty.
The main flavor is fresh.
…
…
"It's really abandoned."
"I should have guessed!"
moment.
The two Xuanmu rode horses to Ciji Mountain, and when they arrived at a dilapidated mausoleum here, everything was in dilapidated condition, and even more scarred by wind, frost, rain and snow.
Back then, there were still people taking care of it and offering sacrifices.
The State of Zhao no longer exists, and everything that happened back then will naturally become a thing of the past.
"Very few people come here."
Xuan Zi looked around and saw that the road leading here was covered with grass. If people walked here often, it wouldn't look like this.
Those... can still be judged.
"This piece of copper is indeed still there!"
"When Sister Xuanjun and I came here, we had a feeling and left two words - heart-piercing!"
"Using true energy to smelt an incense burner that was sacrificed at that time, it turned into a piece of copper and left a mark."
"Then it was sealed into the body of the tree. At that time... the willow tree was no longer small, but now it is even bigger."
"The willow tree... doesn't grow in blocks, the copper piece... is right here!"
For Zhao Xiangzi's sister, Xuan Mu didn't have any extra emotions, but Xuan Jun's sister's actions back then made him very impressed by this place.
The spiritual sense spreads and explores the surroundings.
After more than ten breaths, I gained something. I took one step forward and walked to a strong willow tree at the side and back of the mausoleum. The willow tree that two people hugged had sprouted new buds, and greenery surrounded the branches and leaves.
"Mark!"
Xuan Zi is novel.
He also followed and looked at the willow tree.
"come out!"
Xuanmu reached out and grabbed the main body of the willow tree.
With a little force, something flew out of the willow tree and floated in front of Xuan Mu, glowing with a different kind of golden brilliance under the scorching sun.
"Always stay in the body of the willow tree, as new as ever."
"The writing on it is still written by Taishi Zhou, with the word "heart-piercing"!
"It also has the words Jun and Mu."
"That's Sister Xuanjun's sentiment."
Hold the copper piece, which is only slightly larger than the palm of your hand. It is as bright as the original, without the dullness of the years. When you look at it from the front, there are two square and regular Chinese characters - piercing the heart.
There are also half-inch-sized words Jun and Mu in the corner.
Xuan Mu stared at the mark on it, and everything that happened at that time vaguely appeared in his mind. At that time, he was about the same age as Xuan Zi, and his strength was not enough to realize his weakness and return.
Sister Xuanjun led her to walk.
Now.
Sister Xuanjun is not here.
Heart-piercing!
Sister Xuanjun forced a breakthrough because of her heart.
"Heart-piercing!"
"Sister Xuanmu, why did sister Xuanjun leave these two words?"
Xuan Zi poked his little head, and he knew the words on the copper plate.
"..."
Xuan Mu smiled but didn't answer.
"All right."
"I know, I need to find the answer."
Xuan Zi was speechless.
I continued to eat snacks depressedly.
"Sister Xuanjun!"
Xuan Mu looked at the copper piece in his hand and pondered for a few breaths.
When the true energy is running, a hot force flows out of the hand, directly covering the copper sheet, smelting it directly, and turning it into what it looked like decades ago - a small incense burner.
Everything is in the past.
There is no need for this piece of copper to exist anymore.
After a hundred breaths, an incense burner appeared in the palm of my hand. With the state of Dzogchen at this moment, it was not difficult to achieve this step.
He grabbed it with his free hand, and a huge boulder flew from a hundred feet away. He turned his hand into a knife and struck it with a few sharp edges, creating a stone eucalyptus.
He placed the stone eucalyptus in front of the dilapidated mausoleum of Lady Ciji, placed the incense burner in his hand on it, and took out a few pieces of spices from his sachet and placed them inside.
With just a few clicks, the hot power ignited the spices.
Threads of green smoke floated out, lingering around the place, swaying above the void.
"Let's go."
"There is a small town nearby. There should be delicious food there."
After doing all this, Xuan Mu turned and left.
“Delicious.”
"Go quickly."
Xuan Zi couldn't wait any longer.
The principle... can be understood at any time. If you miss the delicious food, you may not be able to eat it. After all, the delicious food is different in every place in Zhuxia.
And I can't stay in Zhuxia for too long.
…
…
"..."
"Sister Xuanmu, why don't we go to a bigger city? This small town... there's not much to eat!"
After burning a stick of incense, in an unknown town near Ciji Mountain.
In a small wine shop that was barely clean, Xuan Mu and Xuan Zi were sitting there, instructing the waiters to quickly bring out their specialty wines and dishes.
Since there were not many people in the restaurant, the food and drinks were served very quickly.
only.
Looking at the five or six dishes of wine and food on the eucalyptus, and sniffing the wine here, there were some wrinkles on the black and purple round face. Can these things be eaten?
It's a bit far off.
For example, the fish in front of you... is steamed, and it has a strong fishy smell. Is it... made of dead fish?
No appetite.
It’s also a little off-putting!
And a lamb stew!
It also has a strong smell. Does it mean it can’t handle the smell of mutton?
The vegetarian dishes looked okay, but they were dark and not full of autumn, and didn't look like fresh vegetables at all.
As for the drinks?
It looks very turbid.
Not mellow either.
I am a person in the realm of the entrance. No matter how much wine I drink, I will not get drunk. The key is that the wine tastes good. This jar of wine is obviously not good.
Holding the chopsticks in my hand, I felt unable to move, even the wooden chopsticks were a little oily.
Nope.
Even though this place is relatively remote, it’s not that difficult. Can’t we just make things better? Really!
"..."
"How about... a simple meal?"
Xuanmu felt that he didn't have much feelings about food and drink.
However, when I looked at the things in front of me, I felt that it was a bit difficult to put down the wooden chopsticks. The taste of the dishes was very unique.
The drinks are also mediocre.
"Sister Xuanmu, I think it's better for us to go out to the city to hunt a sheep and roast it directly. I have a lot of seasonings with me."
"Take off the fur, remove the contents of the belly, and eat four legs. If a sheep doesn't work, then a cow."
"Sister Xuanmu, I kind of miss Miss Yan Ling. Her food is so delicious. She must be in Jiangnan now."
Although I like to eat, I don’t eat everything.
Xuan Zi thought about it for a moment, then looked at Sister Xuan Mu who was not moving the wooden chopsticks, smiled, and suggested that she might as well get something to eat herself.
Get some fish...you can handle it yourself, not the complicated ones, not the simple ones?
The simpler thing is to go to a larger city nearby. There should be more good things there, and there will definitely be more.
Along the way, especially after leaving Guanzhong, the food I ate was mediocre and there was almost no delicious food.
Therefore, I miss Miss Yan Ling even more.
Everything made by Miss Yan Ling is delicious, and I can’t get enough of it.
"It's too late now, what's the next city?"
"Judging from the map, it is more than eighty miles away from us. We can barely reach it at the pace of a horse."
"How about... go take a look?"
Xuanmu felt that he had failed a bit as a walker.
Xuan Zi hasn't taught him well yet, so he seems to be influenced a lot by Xuan Zi, and it's hard for him to move the wooden chopsticks from the things on the eucalyptus.
Flame Spirit Girl.
The food she makes is indeed delicious, I can't say enough.
Among the larger cities, according to the information I got from some people in Daijun, there is indeed one. Calculated, it is not very far away.
"What about these?"
Xuan Zi was overjoyed.
He quickly put down his chopsticks and straightened his body.
Then he pointed to the food on the table in front of him. After all, he had ordered it and it was all served. It would be a pity not to eat it.
"Give it to the poor people in the city."
Xuan Mu had already stood up, summoned the boy, asked him to wrap up everything, and threw in six or seven and a half taels of money, and that was the end.

"Man, get some food quickly."
"Bring us delicious food and drink."
At that time, a group of five people entered from outside the wine shop. They were all dressed in smart ranger uniforms and had various weapons in their hands. They were in different shapes, fat, thin and strong.
Before he sat down, Hong Liang gave the order.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
"Come here!"
The waiter quickly took care of the things of the two female guests. These two female guests also held swords and were probably female knight-errants.
"Um?"
"Brother, look...these two?"
Five men were sitting in the wine shop, looking around, and then a relatively young man quietly pointed at the two women holding swords who were about to go out.
The two women had their backs to them. Judging from their figures, they looked really good, and they probably looked good too.
"woman?"
"Didn't you eat any food or wine? Did you take it away?"
"Do you want to eat on the way?"
"Afraid you'll be late there?"
A strong man with an unusually plump figure frowned. This place was sparsely populated, and he encountered two women holding swords, carrying a lot of food.
There is also a jar of wine.
I felt bad in my heart, maybe I was rushing to that place.
"Second brother, go and ask!"
Among the five people, the eldest, a young and thin man in a green shirt, waved his hand.
