After the truth came out, they begged me not to die.

However, breaking through the Mahayana period is not easy!

In the past thousand years, the trillions of creatures and Mahayana monks who have appeared on Tianluo Continent can be counted with one hand.

Such an existence cannot succeed by relying on luck and opportunity.

Chen Zun didn't have much confidence either.

He sighed helplessly and said, "It's so difficult to achieve Mahayana, and I'm not sure."

Shen Ruoyan looked at Chen Zun with clear eyes and said with a smile: "Others can't do it, but my husband can definitely do it."

Chen Zun also laughed and said: "Why do you always believe in me so much? Maybe I will have no hope of the Mahayana period in this life."

Shen Ruoyan: "Hehe, you are my husband. If I don't believe it, who do you believe? Besides, I have never seen anything that my husband can't do."

Chen Zun found it funny and felt warm in his heart.

He deliberately said with a straight face: "You trust me so much. If I sell you one day, you will still have to help me count the money."

Shen Ruoyan laughed angrily, her eyebrows arched.

"If such a day comes, my husband must sell it for a good price, and I will help you count the money."

After some teasing, Chen Zun stopped joking and said: "I have been practicing for many years and I haven't let you relax. Come on, I will show you how prosperous the Central Plains is now."

Monks are human beings too, and practicing is boring.

Shen Ruoyan has stayed in Tianyou's secret territory for too long. Except for going out when he broke through the realm, he has never come out and cannot see the great Central Plains now.

Although she had never expressed any intention of going outside to take a look, her eyes shone every time Chen Zun told her about what happened in the Central Plains.

Therefore, now that Shen Ruoyan's attempt to break through has failed, it is time to take her to have a good time outside and get a little bit of the fireworks of the world.

When Shen Ruoyan heard this sentence, her eyes lit up and then dimmed. She shook her head and said, "Cultivation is important."

She is now completely trapped in the devilish state of cultivation.

"It's so boring to practice every day, this time you have to listen to me."

Chen Zun naturally disagreed, so he couldn't help but drag her away from this desolate land.

Due to the devil's cave, Chen Zun did not go far. He took Shen Ruoyan with him and landed in a secular city.

The two of them simply disguised themselves, held their breath, and transformed into the clothes of people from all walks of life, and went to the city to play.

After entering the city.

There was a buzz of people everywhere and the place was overcrowded.

The sounds of selling and shouting are endless.

After so many years of steady development in the Central Plains, common customs have also flourished.

It has more fireworks than before.

Along the way, Shen Ruoyan showed a strong interest in everything, looking around, walking around, and talking to people from time to time.

Obviously, these years in the Tianyou Secret Realm had made her feel overwhelmed. After finally coming out once, she felt novel about everything.

Chen Zun looked in his eyes and saw that she was lively and cheerful, with a slight smile always hanging on the corner of her mouth.

When Shen Ruoyan passed some shops, she would ask him some questions from time to time.

"Husband, I want to make some clothes for you. Does this brocade look good?"

"Husband, the material is good, but the color doesn't match..."

"Husband, how about this..."

"Husband..."

Chen Zun listened on the sidelines and answered Shen Ruoyan's questions casually.

"The color is nice, but it's too flowery."

"Well, of course it's best if you think it's good. That's it. Buy more..."

"This is really good. Ruoyan has really good vision."

"..."

Just spent the whole day shopping.

I visited almost all the shops in the city and bought a lot of things.

At the end of the day, the harvest can be described as full.

Finally, the two were satisfied and wanted to try some worldly food.

After finding out about the most unique inn in the city that specializes in delicious food, the two of them went to taste it.

After many years of abstinence, I tried secular food again, which had a unique flavor.

After having enough wine and food.

The two left this city.

In the next ten days or so, we visited many cities.

When passing a hilltop, Chen Zun suddenly stopped moving forward.

Because, he discovered something quite unexpected.

He was robbed by bandits!

But it was not him who was robbed, but a scholar carrying a book basket.

He didn't want to care about it at first, but now that he encountered it, he couldn't ignore it.

Shen Ruoyan was also surprised by this kind of thing, a little excited, and quietly followed Chen Zun to hide.

On the mountain path.

More than a dozen mountain bandits suddenly jumped out of the bushes and blocked the path of the frail scholar.

A look of panic appeared on the face of the frail scholar, and he said, "What do you want to do in broad daylight?"

A big bearded man danced the sword in his hand like a tiger, and said proudly: "I opened this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to pass on from now on, leaving the money to buy the road, if you know the truth, hand it over." property, we will spare your life."

"I...I have no money." The frail scholar said, shaking his head as he lacked confidence.

"No money?"

The big man raised his brows and threatened: "Do you think our sword is disadvantageous?"

The frail scholar said helplessly: "My dear fellows, Xiaosheng's family is poor and he really doesn't have much money. However, Xiaosheng has many works of saints here. If you need them, feel free to take them."

After saying that, he took off the book basket and said: "The world is peaceful now, and making a living doing robbery is not a good future. It is better to read more books and listen to the teachings of the saints, so as to find a good job again."

The big man was stunned when he saw that the weak scholar was really taking out the classics from the basket.

Shen Ruoyan found it interesting and snickered: "Husband, this scholar is so interesting. He actually persuaded bandits to change careers. Isn't this playing the harp to others?"

Chen Zun also found it funny and nodded.

Then, the big man came to his senses, his face turned green, and he said loudly: "How dare you, a scholar, to make fun of me. I won't show you any color. You don't know how powerful I am, the Bandit King."

"Come on, give him to me...capture him and search him."

After receiving the order, several bandits stepped forward to hold the scholar up and search him. In the end, they only got a dozen copper coins in the scholar's pocket.

"Boss, with such a small amount of money, I can't even buy steamed buns to share among the brothers."

The scholar looked indifferent and said: "Brothers, I told you that I have no money, but you don't believe me."

The big man said with a dark face, "It's really unlucky to meet a poor man. Let him go."

They were bandits, not evil thieves seeking wealth and death. They only took money and did not harm anyone's life, so they were not wiped out.

The scholar had no intention of leaving. Instead, he picked up the book and walked over.

The big man frowned and shouted: "Didn't you hear me telling you to get out? What are you going to do?"

The scholar said seriously: "There is a golden house in the book, there is a beauty like jade in the book, and the way to save yourself is in it. Xiaosheng sees that your elder brothers are not evil people, so you might as well read it. It will be good for the future."
