Before leaving, Hou Zi gave him the three basic skills books given to him by Chong Ling, because he found that this young man's practice was simply relying on his talent without good guidance, which was also determined by his living environment.
Fang Yazi took it generously, without any shirk. In his simple heart, it was given by a friend, so just take it!
The two said goodbye, and the young man Fang Yazi returned to the poplar forest without hesitation. He took the road they came out of. It seems that this stubborn boy just wants to walk it again. His realm is not high, his ambition is great, and his future achievements are unfathomable. Limited edition.
Hou Zi found a backpack in a nearby village, put the child in it and carried it on his back. This was the standard equipment for taking children on long trips in the countryside. The child still didn't speak, weighing only a dozen pounds, but the weight made Hou Zi breathless.
It's like carrying a mountain on your back.
The horse was gone and he was too lazy to buy another one. He needed to relax while sweating profusely and think about everything that had happened recently.
The battle in Bai Yanglin completely changed him, whether it was his person or his way, he felt that he needed to plan carefully.
Walking and thinking along the way, from full of sorrow and anger to gradually calming down; from being indifferent to becoming firm and calm.
Some things are broken in my heart, but some things have sprouted.
When he really started to have his own ideas, the demonic nature of the Quanzhen Sect and the lowliness of the Taoism were no longer important.
He walked out of the poplar forest and walked in his own direction.
...Life has no roots, floating like dust on the road. Scattered and driven by the wind, this is no longer the body.
This journey lasted for nearly half a month, and I walked very slowly because I had to consider some things; because I have a child who needs to find a place to sleep every night, where he can take a bath and have hot food to eat. How old is he? I can't mess around with my child.
Half a month later, his body was covered with dust and his face was covered with stubble. Only his eyes were extraordinarily bright.
Finally, on the day of his birthday, he walked into Liuyang City. He had business routes, and his identity was verified, and the servants did not make it difficult for him. In Anhe State, the city was relaxed because of its walls, unlike in Shan State. Although there is no city wall, the wall is in everyone's heart.
According to the information he received, Captain Li's old friend was a hermit. He had a long-lasting reputation and a hundred years of life. It is conceivable that he was a good person. Being able to make friends with a figure like Captain Li was very difficult. Are they ordinary people?
The so-called hermit is a kind of honorific title, which refers to those people who are successful in cultivating the Taoism, do not join the sect, do not add influence, and enjoy themselves.
Such people generally will not easily get involved in interest disputes in the spiritual world. Instead, they will become a bridge between powerful organizations because of their extensive contacts; just like this Guan Kexiu, he is a diviner.
A true diviner never opens his mouth easily. He predicts changes in heaven and earth, predicts the rise and fall of a country, and predicts the fate of a person. They are two completely different concepts from those liars on the street.
Guan Kexiu's divination is somewhat famous in Anhe Kingdom, of course, this refers to the spiritual world. I heard that he has not done divination for more than ten years, I don't know if it is true or not?
Anyone who divulges secrets will be punished. When you are young and successful, you may still be unscrupulous. However, the older you get, the more timid you become and the more you revere the law of heaven. It is a normal choice to keep silent.
It was noon when Hou Zi entered the city, and he was not interested in rushing to the old longevity star's house to eat longevity noodles, so he went to a restaurant to fill his stomach; there were two bowls of noodles, one large and one small, and a beef and vegetable fruit plate, which was a good balance for the children. Nutritional needs.
He didn't think too much about the birthday gift, and he wasn't going to ask for a bill, so what else could he think about? What really made him feel a little troublesome was how to settle the child.
The trouble is that children aged four or five are the most troublesome stage of growth and need experienced women to take care of them; fortunately, if children of this age are guided well, they may forget that period of time that even adults are unwilling to
The memory of the killing will hopefully completely heal this psychological trauma.
He still doesn't know what the child thinks about him? He probably thinks he is a big devil to her? Her silence represents her opinion in a sense. This is something that makes him very embarrassed.
He couldn't even explain it to this lollipop-eating child, and he didn't bother to explain it.
In Hou Zi's view, the best way is to arrange foster care as soon as possible. If he does not disappear from the child's sight, the child will not get rid of the nightmare. Moreover, he thinks that the child will be fostered in a peaceful and relaxing environment.
Far stronger than Shan State.
How can he find a suitable family? This is a very troublesome thing for him. He must treat his children well, be sincerely good, be able to persevere, treat them as his own children, rather than buying them as a child bride.
"Nancheng Guanlao Shenxian? You know, you know. After leaving the shop, go south, cross Maju Bridge, and walk to Xiangyifang... Forget it, it's useless for me and your guests to say so much. That place is relatively remote, and you are a hermit.
But in Liuyang City, there is no one who doesn’t know about the old immortal, so just ask, and you will definitely find Guanfu.”
The store owner is very enthusiastic. Every city has its own pride. For example, in Liuyang City, Guan Lao Shenxian is one of the prides of ordinary people. It determines people's future and speculates on God's will. In the eyes of mortals, it is closer to ordinary people than those magic realms.
human life.
Hou Zi did as he was told and came to Liuyang South. He first found an inn and tidied himself up. The clothes could be old and the person could be thin, but neatness and freshness were the basic qualities of a guest and basic courtesy.
Ask the landlady to change the child into a new set of clothes, and then carry it into the bamboo basket. Although the environment of Anhe country is peaceful, such peace is also a breeding ground for darkness. It is not uncommon for children to lose. He was also Anhe.
Old officials know this very well.
I don't dare to leave my child alone in an inn, and I don't have anyone to trust me with, so I might as well carry it like this. It's a bit irritating, but there's nothing I can do about it.
By the time we had packed up and were walking on the road leading to Guanzhai, it was almost dusk. On a centenary birthday, gifts and blessings from guests would usually be delivered early in the morning. Considering that he was a guest from afar, it didn't matter if it was a little later.
Right? As long as you don’t miss today.
The birthday banquet was probably arranged in the evening. As we walked forward, there were more and more guests. Half of them were local cultivators from Liuyang, and their realm was not low. No one paid attention to him, a small cultivator with a child on his back.
The Taoist sect is good at this, it is relatively accessible, and it is relatively tolerant of aliens. Let alone a child, even if you are carrying a corpse, no one will come to find out the root cause.
There were more and more people, and Hou Zi also heard something from the chats and laughter among the guests. It seemed that the old god was going to make a fortune at the centenary birthday banquet today?
It feels a bit like a birthday boy having sex or something?
Exactly,
In the past twenty years, I have been feeding Poria cocos, and I have written half a book of Laojun Sutra. I used to live in a merchant's house in the East City, and a new monk's pavilion in the Nancheng. I cut stones and raise peaks to buy honey, and I sit on a mountain and weigh medicine without competing for the stars. In ancient times, many hermits were able to do divination, and they were willing to do whatever they wanted.
