In the context of great practice, a practitioner's journey is nothing more than a small practice that only involves the body and mind.
Even for Xu Tonghui and most of the people in the entire bank, it only involves the body and not the heart. At the human level of cultivation, the "heart" cannot be touched yet.
What Xu Guangling used on Xu Tonghui was a very simple way of turning around with his heart.
With his heart, he briefly visited Xu Tonghui's heart, and then with a slight twist, Xu Tonghui changed from condensing Qi to opening up meridians.
If we just talk about the results, there is not even much to say.
Because it's too simple.
What is really worth mentioning is that he made a flower bloom before.
Without the blessing of spiritual energy or the connection of the Soul Concentric Art, he allowed a flower to bloom purely because the essence of life had advanced to a higher level. And such a level, such an ability, was not available in previous lives.
Not available.
That is an existence that is infinitely more dazzling than the "Grand Master".
But, no one knows.
Xu Tonghui is obviously not a "knower". His understanding is undoubtedly too far away from such a level.
There is still not much to say about this day’s journey.
There is no robber road, this is the official road. Anyone who robs the road will be jointly searched by the two cities. It is purely low-yield and high-risk.
And those who are on the road can be roughly divided into two types.
The first is those traveling in groups, with dozens or hundreds of people in the group, mostly ordinary people, or all of them, or occasionally a few low-level Qi Condensation Realm cultivators.
They all rode in a cart, which was dragged by pack animals and they sat in the cart.
The other type is walkers in groups of three or five, like Xu Tonghui and Xu Guangling. Almost all of them are cultivators, and no ordinary people are seen.
But their speed was much faster, and they basically surpassed the two of them very quickly.
Many people in front and behind glanced at them while they were on their way, but they did not look at them deliberately or talk to each other. Instead, everyone went their own way.
Just like that, on this day, the fourth day after they left Qingshui City, in the afternoon, which was about three or four o'clock in the previous life, they stepped into Jiuqu City.
Jiuqu City is named because there is a lot of water around the city and it is winding.
It's not really "nine songs", nine just describes its many.
There is also a winding river that passes through the city.
Xu Guangling and the others followed this river, entered from one of the city gates, and then came to a beach mouth.
This is probably the place where most people gather in the city, similar to the train station in previous lives.
In the words of the previous life, this beach entrance was a freight station, where large and small ships traveling from north to south loaded and unloaded goods. Countless merchants, big and small, brought goods from other places here, and then sent goods from here to other places.
"Master, if we go further, the city lord's palace should be on the other side." Xu Tonghui said, with a look of disgust on his face unconsciously, "This place is too messy, too complicated, and too dirty."
What he said was not wrong.
Mess and dirt are the norm in a place like this, even in the previous life.
And what's permeating the air is a smell that's definitely not wonderful.
But Xu Guangling shook his head, "The City Lord's Mansion? We are not going to the City Lord's Mansion. Uncle Xu, you have forgotten that you and I are not members of the family now. You are just a casual cultivator, and I am just your nephew."
"Master, where should we go? Find an inn to stay at?" Xu Tonghui said.
"Yeah." Xu Guangling said, "It's nearby. Well, it's the street opposite the beach entrance. Let's find a place to stay there."
Xu Tonghui must have been surprised by this proposal, but he didn't say anything and just obeyed.
The street they turned into had a lot of people, but because the street was relatively wide, it couldn't be said to be crowded, but it was indeed bustling.
The most common ones on both sides of the street are food shops, tea shops, and inns.
There are many tea shops, independent of food shops, located on both sides of the street, and most of them are open-top designs. They just have a few pillars standing on the ground with a roof on them, and then there are a few kettles hanging on the pillars facing the street.
Or hang a coarse cloth sign.
The characters on the signboard vary in size.
"Come and drink!"
"water!"
“My water is the cheapest!”
Things like that are very down-to-earth anyway.
Find a place to stay first, this is the general rule of walking.
Xu Tonghui and Xu Guangling stopped in front of a "Sanjiang Inn", then went in and checked in at the counter.
Under Xu Guangling's instructions, they asked for a Datongpu, a ten-person room.
In other words, there is no bed in a room, but there are ten "mats" and bedding. If there are no accidents, there will probably be ten people staying in the bunk bed that night.
When Xu Guangling entered the Tongpu, they only saw some other luggage and no one.
Those who will settle here are either coolies or small traders. Even small traders only stay in this inn and not in this kind of public house, because there is a risk of goods and property being stolen. And that risk is simply too great.
Already.
"Master, why do we live here?" Xu Tonghui asked.
"I haven't lived there before, so I'll just stay and watch." Xu Guangling said, "Okay, put your luggage here and let's go out and walk around."
Xu Tonghui began to redistribute the luggage. He put the felt tents, towels, barrels and other items in the big luggage bag and left them here. The silver coins, identity certificates, etc. were made into a small package and carried on his back.
On the body.
When he went out and came to the counter, Xu Tonghui tapped his fingers on the table and asked the shopkeeper: "Are there any other cultivators living here?"
"Are you...Master Cultivator?"
Although the shopkeeper is just an ordinary person and can be said to be a "little person", his vision for running an inn must be very complex.
Xu Tonghui and Xu Tonghui, not to mention their temperament, just look different from other people on this street.
On this street, many people don't bother to take care of their hair regularly. Sometimes when it's too long, they just roll it up and tie it up with a rope at the back. Their nails don't even bother to take care of them every day, so they often
It will be a bit long and have black and gray inside.
But usually it’s not too long because you have to work.
Most of their shoes are old coarse cloth shoes with thick soles but worn thin.
They often put a towel on their shoulders to wipe sweat.
And so on.
The innkeeper just knew that these two people must be from outside, they must not be businessmen, they must be living well off, and they may have some status. Although it was a bit strange that they chose his inn and stayed in Datongpu at the same time, he didn't think too much about it.
At this time, after hearing what Xu Tonghui said and looking at it again, the shopkeeper was immediately surprised. Then with great enthusiasm and respect, and a respectful little bow, he walked out of the counter and faced the two people, mainly Xu Tonghui.
road:
"Sir, are you a monk?"
Xu Tonghui nodded slightly, full of momentum. His persona at this time was basically cold and cold, "Can you take care of our luggage for a little bit?"
"Of course! That's of course!" The shop owner patted his chest with his hand, "I'm going to ask my mistress to come over and watch, and he won't leave even a step away! Don't worry, sir, even if my shop is lost.
, your luggage will never be lost!”
"Yes." Xu Tonghui nodded slightly and walked out of the inn.
"Master, what are we going to do now?" After walking out of the store, his position immediately changed from in front to behind.
