Zhou Tai, who had the idea of leaving the caravan, chose to leave when the caravan passed by a majestic and huge city with strict walls.
If you want to go to the next city with a lot of people, you may not have enough money. You already don’t have much money, but before you leave, you still spend a lot of money. The weather is unfavorable and it starts to rain, so you have to buy a shield.
Rain's raincoat.
In fact, judging from the hardships we have experienced over the years, a little rain is nothing, just a shower.
However, many of the hardships I experienced before were due to lack of options and conditions.
Now that I have the conditions, I can treat myself better, so why not? I don’t have any thoughts of self-harm. As for money, I can probably get a better quality jade and sell it, but it’s not impossible to make money.
Not to mention that there is no shelter from the rain nearby, even if there is a shelter from the rain, what if it keeps raining? I will eventually enter the city, and the city gate will be closed after dark.
If you don't buy this raincoat, you will inevitably get soaked when you go into the city in the rain. If you can't find a place to live for a while, will you be soaked and shivering on the street?
Cultivation of immortality is also for a better life, and immortality is for a longer and better life. Zhou Tai is a layman. When he grows up and becomes an immortal, he will still have some thoughts that he should have...
As for whether he is worried about being discovered as an immortal cultivator after entering the city, Zhou Tai is not worried.
First of all, let’s not talk about whether this spiritual enlightenment realm counts as entering the ranks of immortal cultivators.
Secondly, Zhou Tai probably, probably, probably is no longer in the Spiritual Enlightenment Realm.
The aura is gone.
To be precise, the spiritual energy in the Dantian has dissipated.
After experiencing it, Zhou Tai also realized that spiritual energy can disappear in the body.
Does this mean that practicing cultivation is like sailing against the current? If you don’t advance, you will retreat?
It turned out that his lower abdomen was a little swollen, so Zhou Tai did not dare to absorb spiritual energy into his Dantian. After a few days, the swelling feeling dissipated. After a few days, Zhou Tai found that the spiritual energy in his Dantian was slowly dissipating.
There is no stopping, it is just the spiritual energy of a spiritual stone. Without the cultivation method, if you continue to fill your Dantian with spiritual energy, it will eventually be gone.
And it doesn’t matter if it dissipates, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t have any effect at all, but I am about to enter the city and walk around in a crowded place. I don’t know if people will notice it if I have spiritual energy in me. If so, it will be a disaster.
Got it.
The raindrops fell on the ground, and the traces left had not yet spread, but were disturbed by other water droplets.
The misty rain made the mottled city wall look thicker and thicker due to the erosion of the rain. It looked like it had a long history.
Zhou Tai, who was wearing a raincoat, followed the crowd and walked through the city gate. He glanced at the well-equipped gate guards on both sides and looked away.
It’s great not to pay city fees!
None of the cities we passed collected city fees.
It must be that no one in this world has thought of this idea, or they may have thought of it and are unwilling to use it.
With this thought in mind, I slowly walked into the city.
This is the capital of the State of Wu. After walking for nearly a month, we have only walked a short distance within the territory of the State of Wu.
I want to go to other countries, but measuring the land with feet is the slowest. It is initially estimated that it will take more than half a year.
If it takes ten and a half days to walk from one country to another, that is not the distance between countries, it is walking from one village to another.
The world is a big place. If there is no special fate, turning around and saying goodbye is the end of this life. Of course, this is only for mortals. Immortal cultivators can fly very fast. The size of Wu country, it is estimated that the immortal cultivators who can fly only need a few days.
You can fly from here to there.
Because it was the caravan Zhou Tai was in in the royal city, it only dared to stay temporarily outside the city. It is said that in the capital city, apart from the basic necessary daily necessities, merchants are not allowed to sell other items in the city. However, basic daily necessities are not allowed for small merchants.
The lowest profit.
Large merchants can do business, but small merchants basically don't make much profit after removing the costs on the road. This is because merchants bring travelers on the road, which subsidizes part of the transportation costs.
Walking into the city, the stone pavement is tight and the wide streets are neat and criss-crossed. There are various shops, pubs, inns, etc. on both sides of the road.
Looking at the various shops on the street one after another, Zhou Tai understood why merchants were not allowed to enter this city.
There are a lot of merchants. If merchants came in, half of the shops here would be closed.
Feeling that the rain was getting heavier, Zhou Tai chose a relatively cheap inn to stay for one night.
the next day
In front of a book stall where people were doing calligraphy and painting, Zhou Tai copied down a few sentences from "Naling Touch" that he thought were weird, and paid the calligraphy and painting gentleman to read them over.
After listening, there was silence for a while, and then Zhou Tai left.
In five sentences, at least one and at most three words in every ten words are incorrect.
Zhou Tai's guess was correct, and Mr. Sun tricked him into teaching him some of the typos.
To be on the safe side, Zhou Tai found another calligraphy and painting stall and asked another person to read the five selected sentences again, which were exactly the same as before.
Really hammered!
Discovering this confirmed his suspicion, but Zhou Tai had nothing to be happy about. This meant that he had learned all the words in vain. If he wanted to recognize the words, he had to learn all the words again to know which words were wrong.
It's impossible not to learn. Otherwise, if you don't explain the secrets that you can't read or understand, if you misrecognize a word or misunderstand the cultivation method, you will miss a thousand miles.
Sometimes, Zhou Tai couldn't understand Mr. Sun's idea of cheating. He spent all his time and energy teaching calligraphy. Why not teach him well? Wouldn't it be good to leave a good relationship with each other?
Is it just for fun, will you be happy imagining the various fools you will make in the future because of misunderstandings?
Is it just for fun?
It was possible to resolve the situation before. After all, they had had a few drinks with each other and were very grateful. Before, they were just suspicious, but now it was confirmed that there was something wrong with the calligraphy taught. Zhou Tai was really angry.
To relearn calligraphy, you have to spend money. Currently, the fastest way to make money is to optimize the quality of jade and sell it at a high price.
And this is what Zhou Tai tries his best to avoid doing too much, as long as he can barely maintain his daily expenses. Now that he is still young, it is impossible to listen to music and so on, so he only spends a little money on food. How much can he eat?
Any business that can make more money, whether it is capital-based or without capital, if you do it too much, you will have a saying: If you always walk by the river, there is no way your shoes will not get wet.
Anything that makes you money quickly will always be noticed by people who care about it.
But at this time, in order to learn calligraphy, I had to sell jade several times.
That's it, get jade and make money.
Learning to calligraphy again.
At least two months were wasted.
Originally I came here to do something, but everything had to be postponed.
Don’t be afraid of making bad friends in life, because you can see it.
In life, you are afraid of meeting someone who will cheat you, because if you can tell, you will be cheated.
