Early morning.
A figure flashed down the mountain.
Zhu Siqi didn't walk very fast. This was his first time going down the mountain, so he felt very comfortable. He wanted to take a good look at the scenery at the foot of the mountain and know the way. If he didn't come back at night, he would laugh his head off.
After passing through the primeval forest, he felt that everything was so novel as he walked along the small path in the forest. When he saw the stone path and the steps, he would stop to take a look. However, after walking for an hour, he saw almost the same thing along the way. His interest became less and less, and his figure began to increase. As he walked, he recalled what Fan had told him last night.
"My dear disciple, you've basically learned all the things that I've taught you in the past twelve years. The rest will depend on your own cultivation and epiphany in the future. You've read a lot of books, so I believe that you can basically remember them with your memory. However, it's not enough for a person to just do this. The current society is different from any previous era. There's no such thing as Jianghu anymore. If your martial arts show up in the hall in public, it will bring you unexpected trouble. At the same time, the country and the government may also pay attention to you. In this way, it will be very difficult for you to make a difference in the future. Therefore, I will set a rule for you to go down the mountain. Never show that you have advanced martial arts in front of others, especially when you can sense the surroundings. This may be the way to save your life in the future! If someone knows that you have this skill, then with my decades of experience in society, I can tell you that not only the forces of our country, but even the forces of foreign countries will try their best to capture you. Although they won't take your life, they might be even lonelier than the days you're living on the mountain now.”The more Liaofan spoke, the harsher he became.
"Disciple, remember this. You must never reveal your inner strength, qinggong, hidden weapons, or sensing skills in front of others. But can you use it in secret or after disguising yourself?”Although Zhu Siqi knew that what his master said made sense, he also remembered in his heart: Hiding oneself was indeed one of his principles. If others knew that he was very powerful, then what was the point of playing? However, what was the use of learning martial arts if he didn't use it? Therefore, he raised his conditions with his master.
"That's fine, but you can't use it frequently. Before you use it, you must use the Yi Yuan Skill to sense your surroundings and ensure your own safety.”Fan Luo smiled.
Speaking of this, he had to explain Zhu Siqi's so-called disguise. In fact, this disguise could be said to be a by-product of his cultivation of the Yi Yuan Skill: Usually, when he was practicing alone on the mountain, he would sometimes let his zhenqi circulate freely in every part of his body to exercise his control over his zhenqi. However, when he circulated it to his face, Zhu Siqi thought that the shape of the face was controlled by the muscles of the face. If he could change the control of the muscles, he could make them shorter if they stretched, and straight if they bent. Then, he would definitely be able to turn into another person. It was fun!
He had no entertainment activities to begin with, so he immediately tried it out. He took out a mirror and began to experiment with his face. At first, because he didn't control his strength very well, and there were dozens of muscles on his face, his face was simply unbearable to look at. It was either one side higher or one side lower. However, as he gradually mastered the strength of his true energy, his face became more and more like a normal person. In the end, he saw his master coming up the mountain. He immediately changed his face to meet his master. At that time, his master was shocked, although he still recognized him in the end.
What a joke. They had lived together for more than ten years. She could tell at a glance from his footsteps, clothes, smell, body shape, appearance, and eyes, but she was still shocked. Although it wasn't very useful to those close to him, it should be enough for him to disguise himself after training and changing his habits. However, there was still a flaw in this disguise. It could not maintain the shape of the face for a long time. With his current strength of the fifth level of the Muscle Tendon Changing One Origin Skill, he could only maintain the shape of the face for about ten minutes. After all, the requirements for true qi control were very high. If he was not careful, he would lose his shape.
"Although you have learned all the martial arts, there are still many things you have to learn in society, such as how to talk and interact with others. "Also, you've been living on the mountain all this time, so you don't have any concept of money. Other than seeing the world at the foot of the mountain, all you do is buy two bags of salt and 10 catties of rice." Fan gave him a 10 yuan note.
" Ah, where can I buy these things?" He had eaten salt and rice before, but he had never bought them.
"You can buy it in the Mountain Pond Market that I gave you some pointers on. As for how you buy it, that's your own business.”After saying that, Fan carried the twins back to his room.
When Zhu Siqi reached the foot of the mountain, he saw people walking in the distance. He slowed down and maintained the speed of ordinary people.
Soon, they arrived at Shantang Market. Today was the day of Shantang Market's market. Every five or ten days of the month, people from all over the country would come to Santang Market to see what they could buy at home. Small merchants and hawkers had also shipped all kinds of goods over early. There were a lot of people on the market day. If it was late, they would not be able to move at all, let alone the stalls where the goods were placed.
It was almost noon when Zhu Siqi arrived at Santang Market. As soon as he approached the street, he saw that the crowd was dense, like a river crossing. It was difficult to squeeze in directly. He could only move slowly along with the flow of the crowd.
The streets of Santang Town were not wide. They were only four to five meters wide and a few hundred meters long. Both sides of the street were filled with goods placed by vendors. Some of them used wicker baskets to pick up the goods, so they really put two baskets together and looked at them from behind like a counter. Some of them simply laid a plastic sheet on the ground and placed all kinds of goods on it. Some of the local specialties were simply placed on the ground. Those that were pulled over by a car also started to sell them on the car. However, they also parked the car by the roadside. Of course, the car was a handcart, a wheelbarrow, or a bicycle. There were basically no motor vehicles.
He walked slowly with the flow of people. Everything he saw was new and interesting. Anyway, he didn't walk fast. Every time he reached a stall, he would pick up this, look at it, touch it, but he didn't buy anything. He knew in his heart that he had to buy the salt and rice that his master had told him to buy before he could buy what he liked. Otherwise, what if he didn't have enough money to buy rice? It was a small matter for his master to teach him a lesson. It was not reasonable for him to do something wrong on his first trip.
After walking for dozens of meters, there were still some shops of Santang Market on the edge of the street. These shops would not disappear with the disappearance of the market. Instead, they would always be open here. There were snack bars, reasonable shops, drugstores, some shops and cloth shops. In front of them, there was also a shop called Santang Grain and Oil Store.
Normally, they would not let the peddlers block the entrance of the shops on the street. They would leave a space of one or two meters for people to come in and out. Otherwise, people would not come to the shops to buy things when the market was so lively.
Walking into Santang Grain and Oil Store, there were all kinds of things arranged in different categories: Rice, corn, wheat, flour, salt, pork fat, vegetable oil, noodles, sauce, wax, and other condiments. There was a counter in front of them, and two people were standing behind it. One was a young man, and the other was a young man. He walked to the rice stall and said,"
"I want ten…jin…of rice." This was the first time he felt a little nervous talking to a stranger. He even felt a little strained.
Seeing that there was business in the shop, the young man walked over and said,"Alright, do you want early rice or late rice?”
"There are two more?"
"Yes, early rice is cheaper, and late rice is more expensive, but it tastes better."
" Then give me ten catties of late rice," Zhu Siqi said.
" Alright." After saying that, she weighed ten catties of rice for him and put it in a woven bag for him.
"Do you want anything else?" the young man asked habitually.
"And two packets of salt."
The young man took out two packets of salt and placed them in the bag. After that, the young man stared at Zhu Siqi. Zhu Siqi didn't know what he meant and didn't move.
After a while, the young man couldn't help but ask," You should pay now?”
Oh, Zhu Siqi just remembered that he had to spend money to buy things. He quickly handed the ten yuan to the young man. The young man only smiled in his heart. It seemed that this young man was going out to learn something. She didn't blame him and gave Zhu Siqi the change.
Zhu Siqi took the change and walked back to the street with the woven bag. He was a little hungry, so he went to the snack bar on the street to eat a bowl of noodles. Now he didn't make a fool of himself. He asked the price first, which was one yuan per bowl. After paying, he saw that it was time to return to the mountain. Otherwise, it might be dark when he got home, so he started to walk back.
After noon, the number of people on the street began to decrease, and they walked faster. In the meantime, he bought a pound and a half of fried melon seeds and two pounds of rice wine produced by the mountain people. He bought a few candies that he had never eaten before and left the market.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, it was already late. He hurriedly used the Yijin Yiyuan Skill to check that there was no one around. Then, he used the Traceless Snow Step and flew up the mountain.
