Chapter 257: Invincibility Leads to LonelinessJuly 22nd, Kongtong Mountain Gathering, Wudi Study.
Shi Feizhe looked at the bookstore's sign. It still looked the same as it had seven or eight years ago, as if the past few years had not caused any damage to the sign.
He received a reply from Lachen not long ago.
It’s easy to reply. If it’s convenient, we can meet and talk.
If it was a few years ago, Shi Feizhe would not be able to leave at all, and would have thrown the letter aside after seeing it. Fortunately, Qingshan Martial Arts Academy graduated two classes of graduates, and the entire administrative system of Yangzhou was put into operation.
Shi Feizhe no longer has to do many things himself, so he can take some time to walk around and take a look.
It just so happened that I was going to Liangzhou to watch the fireworks on September 9th, so while I had time, I came to Yongzhou first to see the honest monk Lechen.
When passing by Kongtong Mountain Market, looking at the bustling market, he suddenly remembered the invincible study of the past.
I remembered that after leaving Kongtong Mountain Market, I encountered someone chasing me in Shanwei. If I was not mistaken, it was the people from Wudi Study who betrayed his information.
Back then, he was still looking for different versions of "True Source Sword Finger Art", thinking that if he collected a copy of "True Source Sword Finger Art", he would be able to practice faster.
In fact, there are no different versions of "True Source Sword Finger Technique", they are just versions with typos.
But as long as you believe that "True Source Sword Finger Technique" is authentic and can cultivate true Qi, all elementary school students in Qingshan Martial Arts Academy can cultivate true Qi.
The martial arts in this world are a bit too idealistic.
The so-called unity of Qi, blood and spirit is a similar principle. Through continuous exercise and self-hypnosis, I believe that the unity of the four can produce true Qi!
Although they have such a strong power system, this world has been begging for food with a golden bowl in hand.
The world of Jianghu!
Thinking of this, Shi Feizhe stepped into the door of Wudi Study.
The front door was still the same narrow one, and the interior of the study was still cluttered with all kinds of books.
After the Da Cai Armory was flooded, the previous martial arts secret manuals became even more popular, causing the Kongtongshan Bookstore's business to increase instead of decrease.
There are always people in the world who want to learn martial arts and change their destiny.
"Sir, what do you want?" The owner of the study smiled and said after seeing Shi Feizhe, "We are the most comprehensive bookstore in the entire Kongtong Mountain. Our reputation is guaranteed!"
The boss looked to be no more than 20 or 30 years old, obviously not the previous Li Wudi.
"I remember the previous owner of the study seemed to be Li Wudi!" Shi Feizhe said after thinking for a while.
"Yes! That's my father! I'm Li Jizi!" Li Jizi bowed and said, "Are you an acquaintance of my father?"
How lonely it is to be invincible!
So being invincible brings loneliness, right?
You hanged people are really particular about naming.
Shi Feizhe complained in his heart, but said, "Not bad! I was in Kongtong Mountain before, and I was quite familiar with your father. Your father should have been impressed by me. It's just that I haven't seen you for a few years, so I wanted to come and catch up with you."
"Your Excellency may not know that my father started raising pigeons a few years ago," said Li Jimo.
"Huh? Pigeon?" Shi Feizhe was stunned.
From opening a bookstore to raising pigeons, the leap is quite big!
"Yes. He said that running a bookstore doesn't make money, but raising pigeons does. He and his friend opened a roasted pigeon shop in Yangzhou, and the business is pretty good." Li Jizi said, "Some time ago, he asked me to close the bookstore and go to help him."
Is there a roasted pigeon restaurant in Yangzhou?
Shi Feizhe was not sure either because he had never eaten it.
"Okay, since your father is in Yangzhou, that's such a pity! But I may also go to Yangzhou soon, and then I may meet your father!" Shi Feizhe said with a smile.
"That's great." Li Moji said.
"In that case, I'll take my leave now!"
"Goodbye, dear guest!"
After leaving the Wudi Study, Shi Feizhe identified the direction and walked towards the Eight Mountains and Twelve Caves of Kongtong Mountain.
Instead of flying away, he moved slowly along with the crowd.
He had not been in the underworld for a long time. These years he had been farming and teaching in Yangzhou. Sometimes when he looked at the stars outside his office late at night, he felt as if he was not a member of the underworld.
Now, he walked slowly from Yuzhou to Kongtong Mountain Market, and all he saw along the way were bullies who bullied men and women. The feeling of being a hero and doing good deeds made him find the taste of the rivers and lakes.
Still smells so bad!
No matter what he does in the future, the world will not get worse!
He was not wrong on this path.
He followed the crowd, punished two thieves, and then started chatting with a person who was going to Xinzong to burn incense.
The man was a farmer in his 60s, with wrinkles all over his face and almost all his hair falling out. He was carrying a half-sack of wheat and a child of about seven or eight years old.
Shi Feizhe helped him carry the wheat and chatted, "I see you look very tired. You must be far away from here, right?"
The old farmer was originally wary of Shi Feizhe, but when he saw that Shi Feizhe was dressed neatly and the fabric, although he had never seen it before, it should be worth a lot of money.
Such a person would certainly not cheat himself of half a bag of wheat.
How much does half a bag of wheat cost?
He has seen many scammers in his life, but it is rare to find someone like Shi Feizhe who would take the initiative to help.
No wonder he's wary.
"It's not far, just over thirty miles," said the old farmer.
"Did your grandson also walk with you?" Shi Feizhe said with a smile as he looked at the child on the old man's back.
The reason why the old farmer carried his grandson on his back was because he was afraid that Shi Feizhe would cheat his grandson.
"We walked and stopped along the way and set off before dawn!" said the old farmer.
The current time is around 11 or 12 o'clock in the afternoon. It's around 5 or 6 o'clock before dawn.
It took the grandfather and grandson about five or six hours to walk.
"Are you tired?" Shi Feizhe said to the child on the old man's back.
The child also looked at Shi Feizhe curiously. He said, "I'm not tired. I'm used to it."
"What wish are you making in the temple today?" Shi Feizhe asked again.
"I am here to fulfill a vow today. My son was seriously ill and could hardly get out of bed. I made a wish in front of the Buddha that as long as the Buddha Mother blesses my son to be safe, I will fulfill my vow with half a bag of wheat." said the old farmer.
This is not something that cannot be said.
Rich families would fulfill their vows with gold, silver, incense and candles, while poor farmers would only offer half a bag of wheat.
Ordinary, but true.
"Thirty miles is not far! Didn't you go to the nearest temple?" Shi Feizhe asked.
In the world, there are often temples here and there.
This Bodhisattva, that Arhat, are like locusts.
"Yes, of course there are other houses. There is a temple of the Mother Earth not far to the east of my house." said the old farmer.
"Then why don't you go?" Shi Feizhe asked again.
"Because other temples only accept silver and money, only the Buddha Temple accepts our wheat." The old farmer said calmly.
In the world, faith also has a price.
Even if it is just a brief numbness of the mind.
Li Wudi is the pseudonym of a previous book friend. I don’t know if he is still reading the book. Now his son has come out to play a supporting role.
