The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 67

notes preceding the text of a book or following the title of an article

The old minister invited the mountain to accompany him. Thousands of miles to the west, began to know the face of Lushan. Yang xionghun doesn't care about wine. Heaven and neighbor Weng come to comfort the poor eyes.

Like a startled goose, it blows and disperses. The painting Ge crosses the river and looks across the South Bank of the river. The ends of the earth are near and far away. A clear song, and full of pear flowers.

……

……

In the early morning, Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue left Shenmo peak.

They walked eight hundred miles at a time, went out of nansongting and had a hot pot in Yunji town.

Zhao Layue ate seven plates of crispy meat and drank three cans of fruit wine. Jing Jiu scalded several pieces of green vegetables and used white soup.

In the afternoon, they then set out, walked hundreds of miles and came to the outside of the state city of Shangzhou.

Shangzhou city is not very large, but there are five official roads intersecting here. The geographical location is very important, so the imperial court is very strict.

There are guards outside the city gate. Although some copper coins will be collected and released quickly, the inspection of pedestrians will not be relaxed.

Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue stood under the pavilion outside the city and looked at the direction of the city gate for a long time.

They have a troublesome problem that can't be solved.

How do you get into town?

Well nine again recalled the travel notes and the relevant regulations of the imperial dynasty, and found that there was no other way.

"If you enter directly with your sword, there should be a fairy house in the city to receive practitioners." He said to Zhao Layue.

Zhao Layue was a little angry.

At the beginning, she said she should drive the sword, but Jing Jiu disagreed. She said that since she wanted to travel, why should she be in such a hurry and don't reveal her identity.

Well nine said, "otherwise there must be a guide issued by the government."

Zhao La Yue looked at him and asked, "do you have?"

Well nine said, "when we leave, we can go to Xilai peak and ask for some."

Zhao La Yue said, "that's not right now?"

Jing Jiu looked at the carriages on the official road and said to himself, "I don't know if there is a portrait on the guide."

Zhao Layue Muran said, "green mountains are ashamed."

Yes, Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue are two people who have no common sense of life.

In the green mountains, they can't see anything different, but when they come to the real world, this problem will be exposed.

They are devoted to the Tao. All their time and energy are focused on difficult issues such as practice and understanding heaven and earth. They don't care about the trivial things in life at all.

At first, in the small mountain village, Jing Jiu learned farm work, housework and labor in nine days, but he still didn't learn anything else, such as dealing with people.

No matter in Liu's family, nansongting, xijianxi and Shenmo peak, he stays alone and doesn't need to deal with people.

Zhao Layue is slightly better than him, but it is also limited. Before she was born, she was the future of Qingshan sect. After she came to the world, she had been preparing to practice Taoism and learn all kinds of difficult knowledge. She stayed in the house and never saw outsiders. Until she came to Qingshan, she was alone most of the time, such as Jianfeng.

In the monastic world, they are talented people with amazing talents. In the normal world, they will appear very clumsy.

There is no other way, then we can only choose the most direct way.

Of course, that method is not the way Jingjiu once considered.

The dusk was getting darker and his sight was blurred. He and Zhao Layue walked around the most remote section of the city wall of Shangzhou city. The sword light flashed occasionally and disappeared from the original place.

The flying sword fell in a remote alley.

Zhao La Yue asked, "where are you going?"

Well nine said, "I haven't lived in Xianju. I heard it's good."

Zhao Layue said, "since it's a tour, it's like dancing in the red dust of Guocheng temple. It's better to live in an inn."

Thinking about what was written in the book, Jing Jiu was worried and said, "I heard that the inn is dirty and the feet smell very bad."

Zhao La Yue thought that she really didn't see it. It's just to find a better inn. Don't mortals wash their feet?

What else does Jing Jiu want to say? Zhao Layue said directly, "I'm a senior sister. Listen to me."

"All right."

They left the alley and walked towards the brightly lit street outside.

Zhao Layue suddenly stopped and said, "wait for me."

A moment later, she came back from the alley with two hats in her hands.

Well nine took the hat and asked, "why?"

Zhao Layue didn't speak. She drew her hand on her face.

This has become a common action in the nine peaks of green mountain. As long as you see this action, you know that you are talking about well nine.

Jingjiu himself had never seen this action, but it did not prevent him from quickly understanding Zhao Layue's meaning.

He put on his hat and asked in a low voice, "can you still see it?"

The light from the lane shone on him, and the hat covered most of his face, but even the exposed part was too amazing.
