A Feng Shui Master's Guide to Cultivating Immortals

In early February, although spring has begun, there is still a deep chill in the air.

The fire in the charcoal basin has been extinguished, and the house is freezing badly.Chen Ling shrank her shoulders, lingered for a while under Mrs. Tang's remaining warmth, and then crawled out of the bed, put on a jacket and a cotton jacket.

The copper kettle is covered with a warm cotton jacket.Although the heat preservation effect is not as good as that of modern thermos, it can barely guarantee that the water still has some temperature, so that it will not be bitingly cold.

I washed my face with warm water, brushed my teeth with a bristle toothbrush dipped in tooth powder, and combed my shoulder-length hair flexibly into a bun. My personal hygiene was considered complete.

Put on your clothes, open the door, and the chill hits your face.Chen Xiao walked out and took a deep breath.Different from the fresh air of a big city, it fills the lungs and is particularly refreshing.He stretched his limbs and gave a big stretch.

It has been half a year since he traveled to this world, and he was cautious at first, for fear of being burned to death by the locals who discovered his strangeness.Now that I have adapted to the life here, there is no obvious difference from the local aborigines.

Chen Xiao walked from the backyard to the front, took a deep breath, rubbed her cold fingertips, put down the door panels of the store one by one, moved them to the back and stacked them.

His current occupation is a clerk and resident guard in an antique shop called "Treading Xue Xunxian".

During the day, I studied and sold goods with the shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper. At night, I closed the shop and slept directly behind.In case something happens, just ring the big gong placed in his room.The boss doesn't expect him to fight the gangsters bravely, he can alert the surroundings, just call the security team in the city to come.

Chen Xiao is the lowest-level guy. Every morning, he not only has to prepare for opening the door, but also has to clean up.Of course, he shouldn't do it all by himself, there is another one named Zhao Erhu.

After a while, Chen Xiao finished all his work.Pedestrians began to appear on the street. Zhao Erhu came and brought him a bowl of steaming wonton and four crispy and delicious pancakes.

This breakfast is not cheap in an ordinary family, a full fifteen copper coins.Among them, Zhao Erhu offered ten for him, and Chen Xiao offered five by himself.

It has been three or four months since he brought him meals like this.

Zhao Erhu's house was far away, and he had to travel half a county to come here.From late autumn to early spring, it is dark and cold to get up early.Zhao Erhu didn't want to get up so early, so Chen Ling discussed with him, he helped him bring breakfast, and Chen Ling took care of the hygiene by herself.

Zhao Erhu would rather give up some money than wake up early in the dark and cold.He agreed, but asked Chen Xiao to pay five copper coins, which was too much for him.Ordinary people are enough to eat two shortbread, but it looks like he wants to eat four!

Chen Xiao took the breakfast, sat on the seat for guests, and started eating.Zhao Erhu sat on the side, warming his hands by pouring a cup of hot water from the kettle that Chen Xiao had just boiled.

Chen Xiao ate it deliciously.The ravioli is just the right size, delicious and delicious.The shortbread is burnt and crispy, and it squeaks when you bite into it.

Zhao Erhu felt greedy when he saw it, and said, "Xiaohan, you not only eat a lot in the morning, but also eat extravagantly at noon and night. You are also particular about picking things and dressing. I have never seen you work as a clerk and spend so much. When can I save enough money? Can I afford a wife?"

When Chen Xiao heard this, she almost choked.

The boy he possessed had no real name, only a nickname called Han Wa, and he was young, only 17 years old.

People from Yuan's generation escaped famine, and his parents died on the road.He followed his uncle's family and came to a very prosperous village to settle down.

Probably due to the good genes given by the parents, the silly baby has thick eyebrows and almond eyes, and is innocent and cute.Because he was good-looking, even though it was burdensome to bring an extra child, my aunt didn't dislike him too much.

Until the boy started growing.

The half-child eats Lao Tzu to death, and the family can't afford to feed him if there is one more bite.Uncle had no choice but to send him out ruthlessly, and asked someone to find a job, and asked him to discuss food with the merchants who traveled all over the world.At that time, Hanwa was only 12 years old, and he was not as tall as a pony, so he had to work hard to run around with the caravan.

Because he ate a lot, he didn't save much money these years.When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he learned a few kung fu from the caravan's martial artist, and then he became a guard.

Hanwa really didn't have much luck. Half a year ago, a ferocious beast rushed to attack and wounded someone on a freight transport he was familiar with.He was also in a daze, thinking that he had learned two tricks and could deal with it.As a result, everyone else escaped, and he rushed up alone.

If it wasn't for the fact that the place where the accident happened was close to the county government, and the security team came quickly, Hanwa would have been dragged away by ferocious beasts.In this way, he was also seriously injured and dying.

Hanwa was seriously injured, and the leader of the caravan appreciated his bravery, rewarded him with a large bounty, and paid enough for his medical expenses.It's just that the caravan has no way to stay for him. After selling the goods this time and preparing the goods for the return trip, they are about to set off.

He is sick and cannot walk.The caravan entrusted him to a family and gave him a commission to take care of him.

Because the caravan came to the county town several times a year, this family did not dare to treat Hanwa harshly, even if they delivered water and medicine on time, it would not matter how careful they were.

Back then, the martial artist who had taught Hanwa in the caravan was worried that they would get rich and kill him, so he once threatened them viciously.This made the family dare not use his money to hire some famous doctor without Hanwa's permission, and the family was unwilling to pay him in advance, so it was so blunt.

Hanwa's body was originally very strong, but he was tortured by repeated high fevers, and he coughed up blood concurrently, and his body became weak after lingering on the bed.That's it, Han Wa left and Chen Xiao came.

When Chen Ling closed her eyes in her previous life, she thought she would not be able to sleep.As a result, when I woke up, my whole body hurt like hell, and I had a constant fever. It was so severe that I couldn't stand up, and it was difficult to raise my hands.

When Chen Xiao struggled to figure out the situation from the dizziness and headache, his survival instinct made him realize that if this continued, his second life, which he didn't know how to get, was about to perish again.

Taking advantage of her sobriety, Chen Xiao begged the family to hire a doctor from a large medical clinic.And spent most of the bounty to let the doctor find a way to cure him.

The doctor sitting in the hall took the money, so it was easy to do things, so he found him a elixir, after taking it, Chen Xiao's illness disappeared immediately, and his health was mostly healed immediately.

After another half a month of raising her, Chen Xiao's body recovered.After rewarding the family, Chen Xiao left and went to find an inn on the street to stay.

There is still less than half of the bounty left, which looks like a lot. In this bustling county town, you can only eat and drink in the inn for three months.

Chen Xiao didn't want to go back to the caravan that Hanwa was in before. One was worried that people would find out that the core had been changed, and the other was that he didn't have Hanwa's body memory. Although he could fight, he didn't know how to punch and kick, so he couldn't do things like guards. Dangerous types of work.

So, he decided to be cruel, and found an intermediary with a good reputation, gave the other party all the money left in his body, and asked him to put himself in the place where he was working now.

Chen Xiao is very thankful for his decision at the beginning, this place where he can indirectly contact the upper class people, let him quickly have a general understanding of the world.

This world is very wonderful, with ancient backwardness, living habits and ideas, as well as various ingenious and advanced inventions in the budding period of capitalism.The coexistence of the backward and the advanced, magical and mysterious, made Chen Xiao, a newcomer who was at a loss, aroused great interest.

Chen Xiao thought that he had come to a parallel world similar to ancient China, and was experiencing an era of transformation from feudalism to capitalism.

But later, when he learned more about this country named "Dai", he realized that he had guessed wrong.There is no coal and no oil in this world, so it is impossible to produce the age of steam, let alone hope to enter the modern society.

However, although this world does not have resources such as coal and oil, it does have a precious mineral deposit called Lingshi.The energy contained in this spirit stone mine can replace coal and oil to provide energy for various equipment.

Chen Ling had seen with her own eyes that a marble-sized Lingshi bead was put into a stove with three burners, and burned continuously for three hours, but only a little was consumed.

That was the time when he was so surprised that the owner of the stove who liked to show off told him that this spirit bead was obtained from a monk.Only then did Chen Xiao understand that this world is not dominated by farming, reading, industry, and business, but by cultivating Taoism and seeking immortality.

It's a pity that after some insinuation, the original body does not have the spiritual root of cultivating immortals, nor does he have any talent.Chen Ling was discouraged, but then cheered up again.

Anyway, he earned nothing by possessing his body and living his whole life. Even if he lived his whole life as an ordinary person, it would not be considered a loss.

Therefore, Chen Xiao's goal has always been to enjoy life, and then save money to travel around the world.Marrying a daughter-in-law or something, he was a bachelor in his previous life, he was used to freedom, and now he doesn't intend to add a bondage to himself.

Chen Ling wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "I haven't thought about it that much yet, the most important thing is to maintain a healthy body."

Others don't know how far Chen Xiao's body has recovered. He became very thin after a serious illness.Although the others felt that this guy spent a little too much on food, once he brought up the reason for replenishing his body, he couldn't say anything more.

Seeing him for this reason, Zhao Erhu shook his head and said no more.They are just ordinary colleagues, not very close.Even if he persuaded the other party not to listen, Zhao Erhu would not persuade him again.

It's just that in his heart, he must think that Han Wa is a person who knows how to live, spends too much, and can't save money.

Chen Xiao chuckled, of course he could see that the other party didn't take it seriously, but he didn't intend to explain.The values ​​of the two sides are different, and the exchange of shallow words and deep words will only create side effects, so it is better to deal with them lightly.Anyway, he left a year to learn and adapt, and he will leave after a year, so why bother to make trouble.
