"Sir." Seeing Wang Zhe come in, the oiran stood up and saluted.
"Girl." Wang Zhe clasped his fists and sat down a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say.
"Young master is full of talents, which is admirable!"
"No way, girl, you deserve the prize!" Wang Zhe responded with a smile.
"The little girl is willing to play a song for the young master."
Wang Zhe was stunned. He wanted to ask if this "playing Xiao" was serious.
After a while, the melodious sound of the flute sounded, which was pleasant to the ear. After the song, the lingering sound lingered.
Wang Zhe couldn't help clapping his hands and praising him.
"The girl plays the flute really well... well, ahem, it's great."
"Thank you for the compliment, Master. Please have some tea."
Eyes like spring water looked at Wang Zhe, his eyes were as charming as silk, his breath was like orchid, and Shengxue's skin was faintly visible under the white gauze.
Ahem, Wang Zhe couldn't help but feel a little dry in the mouth and confused.
...
An hour later,
"Young master, come back when you have time." The oiran lady sent him out.
"I'm a prostitute here. I have nothing to do but tell stories all morning!"
Wang Zhe couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he came out of Chunxiao Tower.
"Brother, how are you?" As soon as he came out, Zhuo Siwei, who was eating melon seeds outside, rushed up to him, his eyes gleaming.
"What else can I do, but I'm exhausted!"
"That's too much. I wouldn't take you like this. You are showing off nakedly!"
"What am I showing off for? I told stories all morning."
"Telling stories and nothing else?"
"What else are you doing?"
"What's the point of that?!" Zhuo Siwei was stunned.
"You don't understand the in-depth spiritual communication."
"I believe you, brother Wang, tell me what story you are telling me. I will treat you to the best restaurant in Guobei County at noon..."
In the afternoon, Wang Zhe finally got rid of Zhuo Siwei's entanglement, found a secluded place, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and meditated.
I imagine that the sun is coming, illuminating the whole body inside and outside, the internal organs, the marrow, the mud balls...
As soon as I closed my eyes and opened them, the sky became dark, and the afternoon passed like this.
My whole body was warm, energetic, and indescribably comfortable.
"It's good to have both work and practice at the same time!"
In this way, when Wang Zhe was on duty during the day, he walked around the streets and found a secluded place to practice the visualization method. At night, he practiced internal skills, went out of the city to practice swordsmanship, and cut the river with his sword.
The days were quite fulfilling.
It was Zhuo Siwei who was a little annoying, pestering him to ask whether the Supreme Treasure and Fairy Zixia were together in the end, why the Monkey King was crushed under the Five Fingers Mountain, and whether Tang Monk's chatty talker was beaten to death with a stick.
Wang Zhe told him the story of the Supreme Treasure and Zixia Fairy, and he explained to Wang Zhe the matters of cultivating a way. He even kindly taught him a set of formulas for breathing and refining qi, which moved Wang Zhe a little. .
For dinner today, we have beef casserole and a bottle of wine.
Wang Zhe asked again if there were any shortcuts to spiritual practice.
Zhuo Siwei started talking when he mentioned the matter of spiritual practice.
"Of course this exists, such as elixirs, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and spiritual inner elixirs."
"What natural treasures are there, such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum?" Wang Zhe asked.
"Ordinary ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum cannot be called natural treasures. They need to be at least a hundred years old. In addition, there are those rare flowers and rare herbs. These genius treasures usually grow in deep mountains and old forests, in inaccessible places.
As long as there are genius treasures, there are probably some mountain spirits and wild monsters nearby to protect them.
These genius treasures can be used to make elixirs, or they can be taken directly. After refining, they can increase their power. "
"What about the inner elixir, the kind of thing that storytellers say can improve your cultivation, change your tendons and cleanse your marrow?"
Wang Zhe asked what he wanted to know, and naturally he became interested.
"The inner elixir is condensed from the essence of the monsters in the mountains. It is of great benefit to practitioners and is very rare."
"How do you use that thing? Do you want to eat it directly?"
“It’s just that if the inner elixir is not highly poisonous, it can be swallowed and refined.
However, the essence contained in the inner elixir of some monsters is too large. If swallowed directly, the body may not be able to withstand the huge amount of essence, causing damage or even death.
You can hold it in your mouth first and slowly absorb the essence and spiritual energy in it, but this requires understanding of the cultivation method. "
"Can't it be cut into half?"
"You think that the inner elixir is an egg or an apple. Once it is chopped into pieces, a large amount of the essence inside may be lost."
"I see, I've learned my lesson, eat more!"
"Well, thank you, it's delicious!"
Wang Zhe looked at Zhuo Siwei, whose mouth was full of oil, and felt for the first time that this guy was not so annoying.
That night, Wang Zhe left Guobei County and arrived at his hometown in the countryside overnight.
There is also an old house at home, where he hid the inner elixir of the green dragon that he got that day, sealed it in an iron box, and buried it underground.
When he first got the inner elixir, he felt that it was not safe to store it in Guobei County, so he came directly to his hometown.
Anyway, with his current skills, it wouldn't take long to travel from the county town to his hometown.
In the silence of the night, he took out the inner elixir from behind and immediately put it in his mouth.
Then he started to run the Arhat Kung Fu, and sure enough, he soon felt a large amount of spiritual energy emanating from the inner elixir and entering his body.
His practice that night did not stop until near dawn.
Looking at the inner elixir again, no changes can be seen at all.
However, this night of practice was very rewarding, worth months of hard work.
"Not bad."
He hid the inner elixir and returned to the county seat.
In this way, the days passed day by day.
On this day, Wang Zhe saw a Taoist priest on the street. He was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk, and carrying an ancient sword on his back. He looked quite aloof.
There was a streak of green energy on the top of the Taoist priest's head, as thick as a hemp rope.
It is rare for a Taoist priest to be a Taoist priest who has cultivated himself.
Wang Zhe didn't pay too much attention. When he passed the City God's Temple, he found several people coming out with a statue wrapped in red cloth.
"Excuse me, what are you guys holding?"
"It's the City God statue we asked for. We put it at home to worship and keep our family safe." The man said happily.
After careful questioning, it turned out that the statue of the City God was carved by the temple's temple minister. He took it back home and worshiped it devoutly day and night, so that he could get the blessing of the City God.
Wang Zhe took a look at the wooden sculpture, which indeed looked like the city god in the temple, and there was a faint spiritual light on it.
"This is a new business. Is this considered to be an expansion of the business and the development of believers?"
He felt that it wouldn't be long before these wood carvings would spread beyond Guobei County, possibly to Lizhou or even Kuaiji Prefecture.
At this time, the Taoist priest he had just seen on the street came to Chenghuang Mian, looked around outside, and then walked in.
Wang Zhe, who was about to leave, stopped and stood outside. He planned to see what the Taoist priest was going to do.
The Taoist priest entered the City God's Temple, raised his head and looked at the City God sitting in the main hall, recited the magic formula, pointed it into a sword, and flicked it in front of his eyes.
The light in his eyes shines,
Looking at the City God again, I saw brilliant light!
