If you want to buy a house in the city, you must first know if there is a house for sale. Unlike in later generations, when you buy a house and go to the sales office, you really need to inquire more before buying a house now. As a butcher in Pigeon Market, Liu Daneng has many connections in this area.

Less.

After eating at Liu's house and checking Liu Daneng's mother's pulse, Xu Zhengdao said goodbye and left. Although he could stay at Liu's house, Xu Zhengdao still liked being alone. Besides, living in Liu's house would have to share a room with Liu Daneng!

In fact, for Xu Zhengdao now, the number of times he actually lies down in bed is really rare. During the years when he lived in the mountains, he basically meditated and practiced until dawn at night. The number of times he only slept without practicing can be said to be pitiful.

.

Even if he doesn't sleep at night, he still won't feel out of sorts the next day. But on crisp autumn days, he will occasionally take a lunch break. In short, his current lifestyle seems to be very different from ordinary people.

Xu Zhengdao made an appointment with Liu Daneng to meet again tomorrow. After leaving Beiwan Hutong, Xu Zhengdao also began to wander around. Looking at the endless flow of people on the street and Xu Zhengdao mixing in the crowd, he always had the illusion of being out of place.

I sighed secretly in my heart: "I have been away from the crowd for too long, and I am really not used to it. If I want to adapt to the new life of hiding in the city, I need to interact with people more. The problem is that I was not good at socializing in my previous life.

!"

Xu Zhengdao was very distressed. Although he could choose to go back to the mountains and continue to live in seclusion, he knew that escaping would never solve the problem. If he wanted to continue to make breakthroughs in spiritual practice, worldly experience was also an indispensable part.

This kind of experience is more about the experience of the state of mind. For Xuanxiu, the understanding of the state of mind is also very important. If the state of mind is unstable, it is very likely to go crazy when the cultivation level breaks through. In Taoist practice, it will also be

It’s called the inner demon!

For example, Xu Zhengdao was in the mountains and secretly helped patrol to hunt and kill two criminals. Ordinary people would often avoid it if they encountered this. Even if they succeeded in bravery in the end, it would be difficult for ordinary people to calmly face the loss of two living lives.

Calm.

From this point, we can see that after becoming a metaphysician, Xu Zhengdao became different from ordinary people in spirit, consciousness, and psychology. These cognitive expressions that are different from ordinary people are very difficult to control or self-restrain.

It’s easy to go wrong!

Moreover, the "Tao Te Ching" contains the annotation "Experience in the mortal world, cultivate wisdom in the mortal world". This shows that Taoists have very high conclusions about the secular experience in the mortal world, and they also understand the importance of this kind of experience to monks.

Living in the mortal world, experiencing suffering, experiencing turmoil, and even seeing through the warmth and coldness of human nature, there is still a sense of sedimentation. This is called practice. This may be why some people say, "a small hermit hides in the wild, a big hermit hides in the city"!

"Observing the various aspects of life and appreciating the warmth and warmth of the world, this may be the practice that I need to face and gain insights when I go to the city!"

After realizing this, Xu Zhengdao quickly felt that he was no different from the ordinary people around him. Since he wanted to experience the world of mortals, he should not classify himself as a monk, but should regard himself as an ordinary person.

Wanting to understand this, Xu Zhengdao couldn't help but chuckle and said: "It seems that cultivation is really everywhere, and you can understand it just by walking around the street. When your state of mind improves, you don't have to worry about being possessed by inner demons if you make subsequent breakthroughs in cultivation.

Sleepy!"

Xu Zhengdao, who was walking on the street and mingling with the crowd, quickly forgot about Xuanxiu's identity. When he saw some delicious snacks on the street, he, like other ordinary people, couldn't help but spend money to buy a taste.

Taste it.

Until nightfall, Xu Zhengdao also found a place to stay tonight. If you want to stay in a hotel these days, you need a certificate or a letter of introduction. Without a certificate or a letter of introduction, even if you have money, many regular hotels and hotels will not accept you!

As for informal hotels and hotels, Xu Zhengdao is also not interested in staying. Anyway, he doesn't have to sleep at night. When he comes out of the mountains, many daily necessities are stored in the storage ring. If he stays overnight, find a place with mountains and trees in the city.

That’s it.

Places like this are relatively easy to find on the outskirts of the city. After confirming that no one was nearby, Xu Zhengdao used the Dragon Walking Technique and quickly disappeared into the jungle at night. In the jungle on the outskirts of the city, there were also a lot of undissolved sediments left.

Snow.

After finding a place that was deep enough and sheltered from the wind, Xu Zhengdao immediately took out the tent he had made earlier with oilcloth from the storage ring. After the tent was set up, the temporary stove was quickly set up, and the next step was to prepare a fire for cooking.

.

After living in seclusion in the mountains for several years, Xu Zhengdao's experience in outdoor survival goes without saying. Even if he is trapped on a deserted island with a storage ring by his side, he thinks he can still live freely. Of course, the premise is that the storage ring has enough supplies!

Looking at the lit firewood, Xu Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "It's too troublesome to cook vegetables and rice. It's better to have a simple meal in the evening. Then make a clay pot rice and cut a few slices of bacon to steam together. The taste is quite good."

Xu Zhengdao squatted in front of the stove and muttered to himself, and quickly found the ingredients and rice to make clay pot rice. Wash the rice in the casserole and put it on the simple stove to steam first, and other side dishes can be cooked later.

Add a little more.

While waiting for the rice to be cooked, Xu Zhengdao also briefly observed the environment around the mountain forest. In his opinion, as the city continues to expand in the future, this mountain with lush vegetation in front of him will most likely disappear or become a place for citizens to go out and relax.

It's a pity that he had never been to Kyoto in his previous life and didn't know much about the city. His memory of the city in his current life was equally pitiful. The information available for reference was extremely limited.

.

But Xu Zhengdao quickly analyzed: "This location currently belongs to the urban-rural fringe. But in a few years, this will also become the core area of ​​the new city. If there are houses for sale nearby, we can actually consider it.

Buy it and live there for a few years, and wait for the demolition in the future. It would also be good to be a demolished household. The important thing is that the price of houses in this location should not be high now, and they are all single-family houses, so there will not be too many people disturbing them.

."

I know that this place is not too far from Beiwan Hutong. If you have a job in the city, it will definitely be very hard to live here and commute to get off work every day. But for Xu Zhengdao, who does not have to rush to find a job for the time being, the situation will naturally be It’s different.

"Wait for tomorrow, let's take a look at the house that Lao Liu inquired about first. I'll find a place to sell the two big yellow croakers tomorrow for money. Although I've saved a little money in the past few years, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy a house with that little savings.

I can’t even afford a single room!”

Every time he went to the city before, in addition to selling the prey he killed, Xu Zhengdao also sold some animal skins that he had accumulated and dried. As for medicinal materials, he also collected a lot of medicinal materials, but he never thought of selling these medicinal materials.

Sometimes there are few daily necessities that need to be purchased, so the money earned from hunting can naturally be saved. In addition, when the master died, he also left more than a thousand yuan to Xu Zhengdao, as well as the money he saved before going to the mountains to live in seclusion.

Various tickets.

Xu Zhengdao did not spend any of this money, and now keeps it in the storage ring for his thoughts. On the contrary, those tickets really saved him a lot of trouble when buying supplies. After all, buying things in this era requires more than just money.

Plant your votes!

After dinner, Xu Zhengdao walked out of his tent and reached the top of the mountain. He looked at the brightly lit city in the distance and the messy but equally dazzling lights at the bottom of the mountain. The difference between the urban area and the suburbs was particularly clear at this moment.

For him, soon in this brightly lit city, a lamp belonging to him will be lit. This also means that by then, he has already integrated into the city and is about to start a new life that is different from the previous time he lived in seclusion in the mountains.

A new life.

Xu Zhengdao felt a little uneasy about the new life that was about to come, but more than anything he was looking forward to it. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to live a new life and become a mysterious and mysterious cultivator?Chapter completed!
