In the quiet place of the small pavilion on the green mountain, Wang Mingyang asked softly.
Chai Tiannuo looked at the various living beings in the illusory realm and nodded lightly:
"Yes, but it may take a little longer."
"I wish Brother Chai that all his wishes will come true!"
Tang Yin picked up his tea cup and made a toast with tea instead of wine, and Chai Tiannuo smiled in return.
The two Confucian Temple gods sighed at the same time. After all, the place Chaitino wanted to go was too far and too high, and others could not help him.
The cavalry was running fast, and when they passed an unknown town, Chaitino waved to everyone to stop and rest. He went to take a bath first, and then started walking around the town alone.
"Strange, what's so special about this town? Why did it stop again not long after we started on the road?"
Li Changgeng was a little curious. Xiang Xiu recalled the past that Chai Tiannuo once told and said clearly:
"Master is reminiscing about the past. What we are taking now is the same road he took when he entered Beijing."
Walking around the town, Chaitino's eyes kept changing, and time seemed to have stopped here. More than twenty years have passed, and the town has not changed at all, except for the people.
I bought several tables, chairs and benches of different sizes from the carpenter's shop. The workmanship is still very solid, but the carpenter who was in his prime back then is now an old man.
Although they are said to have returned to youth due to the rays of the sun, their fortunes are small and they only live in seven or eight years. This is the portrayal of the most ordinary people.
Being at the bottom, they have the fewest blessings from heaven, but they are the ones who hold up the country and the world. If you think about it, how ironic it is!
The price has not changed. All the items cost only one tael of silver. The price is ridiculously cheap.
"Old man, for this kind of workmanship and this kind of material, even if the price rises two or three times, it's not an exaggeration. Why hasn't the price been raised in these years? Why is it still so cheap?"
Chaitino couldn't help but ask, and the old carpenter laughed:
"I have land at home and grow cotton, wheat, fruits and vegetables, so I don't have to worry about food and clothing."
"I don't do this craft to make a lot of money, it just makes it convenient for people."
"...Even so, it's still a bit cheap."
Chaitino shook his head, and the old carpenter smiled again:
"My old wife and I have no children, so what can we do with so much money?"
"If you have a full belly and can cover your body, if you have a place where the rain and wind can't blow, your life will be complete. I'm happy to see someone who likes things as much as you, scholar."
"Money, after all, is nothing more than an external possession."
Looking at the old carpenter's free and easy smile, Cai Tiannuo crossed his hands and saluted. There is something extraordinary about ordinary people. His indifferent attitude towards the world is something even he can't compare with.
Before leaving, an old woman with gray hair came out of the inner room carrying a teapot. The old carpenter took the big tea bowl and drank with a smile, and poured a bowl with the old woman.
Chai Tiannuo flicked his fingers, and two drops of clear water fell silently into the bowl. The couple drank it without noticing.
After walking out of the shop, Chaitino chuckled when he heard the surprise sound coming from the room.
The world is unfair, and I can't control it myself, but it's fate, so it's okay to make some small allowances.
Walking further, you will find the street where the Four Treasures business was in my memory. There is the tinkling sound from the rice paper workshop and the clear fragrance of paper wafts.
Chaitino walked in and swept away the inventory. The shopkeepers looked at the money in their hands and smiled, not realizing at all how he had collected so many goods.
He also bought countless miscellaneous books from the bookstore. Finally, Chaitino came to a dim sum shop and bought half a catty of glutinous rice sticks like he did back then. While eating, he murmured:
"Man'er, this tastes really good."
After chewing two sticks and putting them away, Chaitino took a deep breath and strode towards the cavalry.
The horse is psychic and has been baptized by the glow of the red waterfall twice. It is no longer an animal. It is incredibly fast and entered Zhili in just three days.
I recall those days when Chaitino urged the horses to march towards the Second Battalion of the Forbidden Army. There are many memories there.
Unexpectedly, the land boundary was no longer visible, but instead was a wheat field covered with thin snow.
"You don't know that back then, my master was in a tight situation, and even Hu Bier's clothes were not enough, so we met here.
Li Zhengxi, someone got his first head money here!"
Chai Tiannuo pointed to the wheat field and said to his two disciples. Li Changgeng looked at the field and asked curiously:
"Master, where is that Li Zhengxi now?"
Chaitino thought for a moment and shook his head slightly:
"Back then, we went to the Ancient Buddhist Kingdom to participate in the Tianji Debate. At that time, Lao Li was already the Commander-in-Chief of Xiaoshan Prefecture of the Forbidden Army and had a bright future."
"Unexpectedly, he was fascinated by a woman from the ancient Buddhist country and became silent after returning to Luoyang. It is also sad to think about it."
"How old is Mr. Li now?"
Xiang Xiu asked softly, Chai Tiannuo sighed:
"No matter how you know your destiny, you should run towards your sixtieth birthday. Time is not forgiving!"
Just when the cavalry team stopped to listen to Chai Tiannuo's speech, a cavalry team came running, and laughter could be heard in the distance. Chai Tiannuo and Li Changgeng were stunned when they saw it, and Xiang Xiu and the sergeants were even more surprised.
Immediately, they are all young men, their momentum is like a rainbow, and if you look closely, it is like the rising sun!
"It's incredible, how old is that skinny guy? He actually entered the path of immortality!"
Li Changgeng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and grinned at Xiu:
"Senior brother, you are definitely younger than him, do you need such a surprise?"
"It's different. Our Tao Te Sect should stand out from the crowd. I never imagined that there are such talented people in the world. It's simply beyond imagination!"
What Li Changgeng said was natural. Xiang Xiu couldn't help but nod when he thought about it. Indeed, Tao Te Sect should stand out from the crowd!
Among the seven people in the group, the lowest realm is the seventh level of star-catching. As for the highest Taoist, he has already entered the path of immortality. No matter where he is, he is a talented person.
"...It's just that he acted a little too arrogantly."
Gurli shook his head lightly. Practitioners should not influence the common people, but a few people did not restrain their auras. Along the way, they could see passers-by scurrying away and acting too openly.
The others nodded in agreement. Under the influence of Chai Tiannuo, the sergeants also liked not to show off their appearance. As for Jiao, Xi, and Wei, they were as quiet as a pond with no ripples. What they disliked the most was acting like this.
The seven talented men approached the cavalry and couldn't help but stop. Even around Luoyang, it is rare to see such capable cavalry!
The faces of the dozens of sergeants showed vicissitudes of life, and their aura was as sharp as a sword being drawn out of its sheath. At first glance, they looked ordinary, but upon closer inspection, they were truly frightening. At first glance, they were veterans who had been tempered by countless battles.
As for riding the horse, it is also extraordinary. Even in the whole of Luoyang, I am afraid there is no such majestic horse.
As for the white-clothed Taoist on one side of the team, Li Qingfeng looked at him with horror while others didn't feel it.
If the sun shines brightly, one's heart and lungs will feel burning just by looking at him. Although his aura is restrained, Li Qingfeng can be 100% sure that he must be an immortal!
As for the scholar in white who is the leader at first glance, although there is no problem in his perception and he is just like an ordinary scholar, there is always an indescribable charm that lingers and is intimidating.
However, I don’t know why, but after watching it for a long time, it always feels familiar, as if I’m seeing an elder I haven’t seen for a long time.
Both parties were silent. Chai Tiannuo looked at the young man in front of him, his heart trembling slightly. He really didn't expect that he would see his old descendants before he entered Luoyang!
