You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 316 Unchangeable

Shi Xiaoliu frowned and looked at her: "Sister Lan, the two of us are talking about serious matters.

I know you are not old now, but you are more precocious than other young women of the same age.

You understand that getting married actually has little to do with need, right? "

Shi Zelan nodded, she understood some of Shi Xiaoliu's thoughts.

"Sister Lan, your days of practice are long. If you can meet someone you are destined to meet, don't miss the person you are destined to be because of your stubbornness."

Shi Zelan understood Shi Xiaoliu's little thoughts for her sake: "Brother Xiaoliu, I understand how well you treat me.

It's just that some people need marriage, but I don't need marriage.

I only have cultivation in my heart, so I don’t want to delay other people’s beautiful marriages. "

Shi Xiaoliu also wanted to persuade Shi Zelan, but Xia Yu responded: "Brother Xiaoliu, everyone has their own hobbies, and you can't force yourself at all.

Lan Jie'er's current thoughts are actually not wrong. As for whether she will change in the future, that is a matter of the future. "

Shi Xiaoliu looked at the expression on Shi Zelan's face and saw that Shi Zelan really had no intention of loving each other.

He sighed: "Sister Lan, Uncle Beichen and Auntie return to the sect, do you think they can accept your decision?"

Shi Zelan smiled and said: "Xiao Liu, if I grew up next to them, I would probably consider their ideas."

Xia Yu shook her head at Shi Xiaoliu and said, "Xiaoliu, Sister Lan, a little girl, doesn't have to bear the family inheritance.

Unless your uncle and aunt can come back now, it will be difficult for them to force Sister Lan to get married when she succeeds in her cultivation. "

Marriage is never a necessity for female monks.

Getting married, for them, may be the embellishment of their spiritual life. "

Shi Zelan nodded vigorously: "Xiao Liu, our female cultivator's pattern has always been lofty, and the stars and the sea are the places we yearn for most."

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu looked up at the sky, then looked at Shi Zelan: "Your goals are indeed ambitious enough, and now you are thinking about the beautiful things after ascension."

Shi Zelan looked at the two of them and laughed "hahaha": "Don't tell me that you haven't thought about such a far-reaching thing."

After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu exchanged glances, Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, I'm fine. You can go back."

Xia Yu smiled and said: "I want to practice the Ling Zhi technique with all my heart.

Sister Lan, I won’t speak for you anymore. Just meditate and practice. "

Shi Zelan returned to his rooftop and continued to meditate.

The passage of time is unknown on the top of the mountain, but after the New Year in the mortal world is over, the bustling scene resumes at the bottom of the mountain.

Before that, during the Chinese New Year, when there was no one at the bottom of the valley, Shi Xiaoliu and the others went to the canyon.

The three of them practiced their sword moves happily until the dusk of that day, when the three of them erased the traces they left at the bottom of the valley.

The next day, they went to see the avalanche place and saw that the distant mountains were still covered with snow.

After the New Year, some officers and soldiers came to the mountain one after another.

Shi Xiaoliu and the others still found an opportunity to go to the canyon. They heard clear footsteps coming from the bottom of the canyon.

They just stood on the top of the canyon, turned around and went to the place where the avalanche was, and saw the officers and soldiers standing over there from a distance. They only turned around and went back to the top of the mountain. Therefore, the three of them no longer wanted to wander around the mountain together. They spent most of their time meditating and practicing.

Spring is coming to an end, and the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain come and go. Shi Xiaoliu and the other two have become accustomed to their presence.

Xia Yu was a little anxious. Brother Qi Yuan had never sent any news to him.

Xia Yu sent a message to his grandfather, knowing that brother Qi Yuan was safe but could not come to look for him for the time being. Xia Yu felt relieved again.

In the past few days, there have been more herb collectors on the mountain, and the officers and soldiers allowed them to go up the mountain to collect herbs.

Shi Xiaoliu found an opportunity to sneak in and collect herbs together with the herb collectors. While they were collecting herbs, they shared their pharmacological knowledge with each other.

Of course, when the herb collectors went down the mountain, Shi Xiaoliu also followed them down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Shi Xiaoliu separated from the herb collector, and he quickly found an opportunity to return to the top of the mountain.

Shi Xiaoliu, Xia Yu and Shi Zelan shared their joy and advised them: "When you have the opportunity, you should also leave the top of the mountain and walk on the mountain."

Therefore, Shi Zelan took the time to go to Yangzhou Mansion to eat at the vegetarian restaurant.

Before she left, she specially packed several meals and brought them back for Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu to taste.

She told Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu what she had heard: "Some news has spread from Yangzhou Prefecture, saying that people from the government have discovered a jade mine deep in the mountains."

Shi Xiaoliu took a breath after hearing this: "People in Yangzhou Prefecture are very good at guessing, but people in the government office are probably also happy to hear such news."

Xia Yu immediately said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "I will also go to Yangzhou Mansion tomorrow to see if I can hear any updated news in the bookstore."

The next day, Xia Yu went out alone. Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan with some worry: "How long does the invisibility charm you drew for him last?"

"He can leisurely walk out of the sight of the officers and soldiers, and then he can run forward three to five intersections, and maybe he can continue to use it."

After hearing this, Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan: "In two days, I will also go to Yangzhou Mansion."

Shi Zelan glanced at him: "Okay, I won't let you down.

Xiaoliu, there are too many people on the mountain now, and we can’t even collect some leaves to bring back. "

"Just wait a little longer. When the government figures out how to deal with the gold mine, there shouldn't be so many officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain here."

Shi Zelan thought of the newly built tea shed next to the official road and said to Shi Xiaoliu: "There are not so many officers and soldiers walking down the mountain anymore, but there will be more people seeking a living coming to the mountain."

Shi Xiaoliu was speechless for a moment, looked at Shi Zelan and said: "We can only wait until the current craze passes before we can travel freely."

Shi Zelan looked at him and smiled: "Brother Xiao Liu, I'm afraid people's love for gold in the secular world cannot be changed.

With the existence of gold mines, this mountain area is destined to become lively. "

After hearing Shi Zelan's words, Shi Xiaoliu sighed quite a bit: "Sister Lan, I think my master and uncle are both people who are destined to make a fortune."

Shi Zelan agreed with Shi Xiaoliu: "Yes, and if they live in the mountains they chose for a long time, they can always find treasures."

While they were talking, Xia Yu was already approaching Yangzhou Mansion. After showing his household sticker to the city gate officials, he strode into the city gate.

Xia Yu glanced at the tea shed at the city gate and found that the business of this family was very light.

He did not stop and immediately went to the city. He went directly to the largest bookstore in the city.

When he entered, there were already many scholars in the bookstore. Xia Yu walked to the crowded bookshelf and reached out to pull out a book.
