The next morning, when he got up to practice the Vajra Kung Fu, Chen Xuan suddenly thought of the scene when he was drawing the talisman yesterday. His heart moved and he recited the Golden Light Mantra while practicing the Kung Fu.
Unexpectedly, the inner energy gathered in his palms turned golden from the preparatory pose. Moreover, as the sun rose, the golden light on his body became stronger every time he performed a move.
It made him feel as if he was soaking in a hot spring, his whole body was relaxed and he was not at all tired from practicing with all his strength.
When he finished the exercise, he felt as if he had turned into a statue of gold, jade, and glass, as solid as a rock yet clear and translucent.
The golden light in the body is as bright as the sun, giving it a majestic air of sweeping away evil spirits and eliminating demonic obstacles.
Unexpectedly, the golden light mantra and the Vajra Kung Fu unexpectedly combined, causing such a change in his internal power.
"Senior brother, your body seems to be glowing?" Yu Yang looked at Chen Xuan and asked in surprise after finishing the exercise.
Chen Xuan said happily: "Senior brother discovered that the golden light mantra combined with the practice of Vajra Kung Fu can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Now that he has just started using the Golden Light Curse, he will naturally not be able to shine, but Yuyang's innocence has not been lost, and he has been able to see the energy in people since he was a child.
At this time, his mental outlook took on a new look, and it seemed like he was glowing in Yuyang's eyes.
"Really? I'll try it too." Yuyang was delighted when he heard this and immediately wanted to try it.
Chen Xuan stopped him and said: "The sun has risen now. Forcibly practicing will cause the Yang energy to be too strong, which is not beautiful. Why not try again tomorrow? We have to go down the mountain."
"Okay, let's try again tomorrow." Yuyang perked up after hearing this and asked, "When are we going down the mountain?"
It seems that I am looking forward to going to the county seat.
Chen Xuan patted his head and said with a smile: "Pack up and leave immediately."
After entering the courtyard, he first went to the main hall to burn incense and asked Patriarch Taiyuan to guard the Taoist temple.
He carried his master's iron sword behind his back, picked up the bamboo basket on his back, and tied Yu Yang's wooden sword behind his back.
He took out a small bag containing twenty copper coins and a dime of broken silver and asked him to put it close to his body.
"Yuyang, don't leave senior brother's sight when you get down the mountain. If you get lost, go to a crowded place and call me loudly. If others ask you to follow him, don't go.
If someone takes you away by force, give him this money bag and tell him that I have more money and silver here, and ask him to exchange it for you. Do you understand? "
"I understand, senior brother!" Yuyang nodded seriously.
Chen Xuan wore a navy blue Taoist robe, his head was wrapped with a Xiaoyao scarf, and he wore a pair of eight-match hemp shoes at his feet. He fluttered his big sleeves and said with high spirits: "Go down the mountain!"
"If you want to practice peerless martial arts,
You have to endure pain that is unbearable for ordinary people
The tea that the master likes to drink is called oolong
Love to wear Chinese red clothes
Whether it’s hot summer or cold winter
I yearn for the sky outside the mountain gate
I am still waiting for me to come down the mountain in the south
The person is called Xiaoluo
I use Tai Chi with my left hand
Stab in front of the body with a sword in his right hand
Sweeping the legs is called Qingxue
Breaking Qinggong Feiyan
My extraordinary muscles and veins are as powerful as the sky
A whole body of uprightness that touches the world
It is my wish to eradicate violence and bring peace to the people
Goodbye, old master
…”
There is only a short section of the road at the entrance of Baiyun Temple that is paved with bluestones, and further down is the mountain trail.
It is midsummer now, and the vegetation is lush. The wild grass and shrubs beside the road almost cover the path. The brothers are humming songs briskly, and each one is swinging a branch and banging it to beware of snakes and insects.
"Senior brother, it turns out that the tea master makes is called 'oolong', but master doesn't like to wear red?"
"Chinese red is a kind of spirit."
"That's it, who is Xiaoluo? Why haven't you heard of me from my senior brother before? Is she still waiting for you?"
"Probably we can't wait any longer."
"Ah~? Then senior brother, what is Tai Chi?"
"Tai Chi, a boxing technique that contains the Yin and Yang Dao, is very powerful."
"Is it more powerful than the Vajra Longevity Skill?"
"It's different. Tai Chi can be used to practice martial arts and hit people."
"Then when will you teach me?"
"I don't know how to do it either. I didn't learn it at the beginning."
"Did you say you did Tai Chi with your left hand?"
"Can't you just think about it?"
"Oh! What a pity..."
"..."
Chen Xuan has now achieved some success in his practice and has come into contact with the world for the first time. Yuyang is happy to follow him to visit the county town. The two of them are in a good mood along the way.
The two of them went down the mountain and headed east. Yuyang was curious about everything he saw on the way, and there was no peace between them as they ran forward and backward.
Chen Xuan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this. With his energy, he would soon run out of energy. He would definitely be sleepy and tired by then, and he might have to carry it back.
But he had no intention of stopping it.
Qingfeng Mountain is under the jurisdiction of Pingshan County, Mengzhou Prefecture, Danshan Road, Qingzhou. It is only ten miles away from the county seat. Including the way down the mountain, a single trip only takes half an hour.
Now that he is successful in cultivation, and this body is strong and powerful, it will not be difficult to carry him back when the time comes.
Unlike his previous life where urbanization and modernization were very high, all ordinary people saw was a steel jungle.
You can see green mountains, green waters, and butterflies everywhere in this world. You can't help but feel relaxed along the way. Soon, the two brothers arrived at the county town.
Chen Xuan looked up and saw the four characters "Pingshan County" written on the wide arched city gate.
The slightly dilapidated and mottled city wall has a sense of history. The officers and soldiers guarding the city outside the city gate, and the clerks collecting city entry fees gave him a feeling of traveling through history.
That's wrong, he has already traveled through time.
After paying two copper coins at the city gate as the entry fee, the two brothers followed the crowd into the city.
As soon as he entered the city, everything Yuyang saw was novel, but Chen Xuan was much better. Whether it was from movies or visiting ancient buildings, he had seen something more gorgeous than this.
At present, this small county town is not as beautiful as the built ancient city, but it is precisely this that makes Chen Xuan feel particularly real.
A man selling candied haws on a stick passed by, and the stacks of candied haws on a stick were red and sparkling, which was really pleasing to the eye.
Yu Yang was greedy when he saw it, biting his finger and asked: "Brother, what is that? Is it delicious?"
"You'll know if it tastes good or not?" Chen Xuan smiled, called to the vendor selling candied haws, and spent two cents to buy a bunch of candied haws for him.
Yuyang took it and licked the sugar coating on it. His eyes suddenly lit up. He held up the candied haws and said, "Brother, try it. It's really sweet."
"You can eat it, senior brother has eaten it before." Chen Xuan shook his head and said with a smile. He really wasn't greedy for this, otherwise he would have bought two.
Seeing that he was eating happily, Chen Xuan took his hand and went straight to West Market Street.
Pingshan County is just a small county with less than 10,000 households. There is not much prosperous trade on weekdays, so there is only one market.
Everything to eat, drink, play and use is basically all here.
Even the Chenghuang Temple in the county is here. Some Taoist priests, monks, sacred men and witches often gather at the entrance of the Chenghuang Temple to tell people's fortunes, read fortunes, sell talismans and medicines.
Chen Xuan took Yuyang to stroll around the market first, bought some snacks, and played happily for a while before starting to buy supplies.
First I went to the grain and oil store to buy some rice and flour, then I went to the grocery store to buy some seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. I weighed two kilograms of meat, a few strips of bacon, and sausages at the butcher's shop.
