You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 88 Concern
Two days later, Master Decheng and his party settled in a courtyard on Shuyuan Road. The courtyard in Sanjin was suitable for the four of them to stay temporarily.

The identities of Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng have also been determined. They are a pair of brothers who are quite unlucky.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were walking in the alleyway. After hearing clearly what the neighbors were mumbling, they looked at each other.

Shi Xiaoliu looked at Shi Zelan and whispered, "Will you go back and ask about the situation?"

Shi Zelan nodded, and they returned to the small courtyard with household items in their hands. After a while, a puff of cooking smoke quickly floated over the kitchen.

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng who were in the backyard looked at the fireworks and then looked at the smoke from the neighbors' houses around them. They sighed that this is the world of fireworks.

When Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were dining, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng would also sit at the table with them.

Most of the time, they just come to smell the food.

After the meal, Shi Xiaoliu packed up the things in the kitchen, and Shi Zelan accompanied Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng to the backyard. She talked about some gossip she had heard.

After hearing this, Master Decheng smiled and said, "Scholarly people really like to hear gossip.

We are going to live in the Black City for some time, so we naturally need to have a suitable identity.

Your master and I will definitely not take exams in the mortal world, so now I am a child student with extremely bad luck in exams. Your master has even worse luck than me, and bad things will happen every time he takes exams. "

Shi Zelan sighed: "Uncle, your future Taoist companions probably won't like your current settings."

"Sister Lan, I am devoted to cultivating immortality and have no interest in marriage. Your master may find a virtuous master wife for you."

Master Shanzheng smiled and waved his hand at the side: "My name is not on the Sansheng Stone. I am also a person who wholeheartedly cultivates immortality."

Shi Zelan thought for a while and said seriously: "I am also a person who wholeheartedly cultivates immortality. As for other things, they are all clouds in my mind."

Shi Xiaoliu came over and happened to hear Shi Zelan's words. He agreed: "We don't have enough time to practice, so naturally we have no intention to deal with other things."

Master Decheng looked at him: "Idiot, it's good for you to think like this. Love is the easiest way to destroy a practitioner's concentration."

In the morning on Xueyuan Road, you can always hear the loud sound of reading, and Shi Zelan would often listen carefully for a while.

She said to Master Shan Zheng: "Some people study hard, and their voices are particularly pure and pleasant.

Some people just read with their mouths, and their voices are floating. This is a waste of time. "

Master Shan Zheng said with a smile: "Reading more, even if you just open your mouth to read, is better than not reading at all."

Shi Zelan agreed: "I think studying is good, but it's a pity that I can't study in the lecture hall all the time."

Shi Zelan and Master Shanzheng said: "Master, Xiaoliu and I feel that the atmosphere near the school is the most peaceful. We will go there and listen to people reading in a while."

Master Shanzheng supported Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan to walk around. He smiled and asked, "Do you need me to give you some money?"

Shi Zelan shook his head: "I sold a jade bracelet. I have a lot of silver, enough to buy a yard in the Black City."

When Shi Xiaoliu came to call Shi Zelan, she waved her hand at Master Shanzheng and ran away happily.

Master Decheng came back from the front yard and said to Master Shanzheng: "The head of the Black City government is very upright. Let's live here until the new year and then go north."

Master Shanzheng nodded and asked, "Is there any news about the sect?"

Master Decheng shook his head: "People in the Black City like to read, and chivalrous people cannot live here."

Master Shan Zheng glanced at him: "Are you trying to hide your words? Are you worried that if things continue like this, there will be no one to guard the border?"

"We are not from this place. I am chatting with you, but I cannot take it seriously."

They were making tea in the backyard and chatting, talking about some of the things that had happened in the sect over the years.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were walking on the way to the school. Along the way, they saw some shy young ladies. Shi Xiaoliu was surprised: “It’s such a cold weather, and the young ladies in Black City still have to go out and do some work.

They looked around three times a step. What were they looking at? "

Shi Zelan followed the eyes of the young ladies and saw the scholars sitting in the teahouse. Each one of them had a handsome appearance and a free and easy temperament, which attracted all the young ladies to look around.

Shi Zelan stretched out his hand and pulled Shi Xiaoliu's sleeve, and whispered: "Is the school on vacation today?"

Shi Xiaoliu looked up and saw the scholars sitting in the teahouse, and he sighed: "The people in Heicheng are really not afraid of the cold at all.

The scholars didn't even close the windows, they just sat by the windows and discussed issues in the cold wind. "

Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu's clothes, then looked at his own clothes, and sighed a little: "Brother, in the eyes of others, our brothers and sisters are also extremely not afraid of the cold."

They went to the school anyway, looking at the open door of the school from a distance and the scholars coming in and out.

They watched for a while and naturally saw some pretty little ladies sitting in the carriage. When they saw Shi Zelan, they whispered: "Shameless, come and see the man."

When Shi Zelan first heard this, he didn't think about himself at all.

She came to the academy just to hear the sound of reading, not to look at men.

She quickly felt the angry looks in the little women's eyes. She looked over and saw the anger in their eyes, and she suddenly understood.

She smiled triumphantly at them. They had the ability to whisper to her from behind, but they didn't have the ability to get off the carriage and face the people they wanted to see.

Seeing the proud smile on Shi Zelan's face, Shi Xiaoliu laughed and said, "Who provoked you again?"

"They scolded me for coming to see a man."

"Do you look at men?"

Shi Xiaoliu couldn't help laughing, Shi Zelan devoted himself to cultivation.

And he didn't think there was anything interesting about these scholars who behaved awkwardly.

Shi Zelan smiled along with Shi Xiaoliu, which naturally attracted some appraising looks. She didn't like other people's appraising looks.

"Brother, let's go."

After they returned to the courtyard, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng were a little surprised: "You came back so early?"

"The school is on holiday today."

Master Decheng stood up and said: "It's still early, let's go outside the city to collect herbs?"

"Okay, if it's late, we'll stay one night outside the city."

The group of them quickly left the city. Shi Zelan sat in front of the carriage and said to Shi Xiaoliu: "It's snowing again.

The snowflakes outside the city are bigger than those in the city, and they look much more beautiful to me. "

Shi Xiaoliu nodded and said: "There are too many people in the city. Sometimes when I go out for a walk, I will meet someone who cares about me and asks me if I am getting married?"

"Hehe. Brother Xiaoliu, how do you answer?"

“Before I spoke out, my family had already arranged a marriage for me.

Then they ask about your marriage. "

"Me?" Shi Zelan pointed at himself, and Shi Xiaoliu nodded deliberately with a heavy expression.
