When I woke up, I started to seriously think about a question, which is what my master told me and my eldest senior brother a while ago. He told me and my eldest senior brother to divide into the north and south, to train the heart in the mortal world and to experience the human nature of the world. This is not only about the improvement of our cultivation, but it is also a form of training for the mentality of the two of us.
As the saying goes, Master Fu had to put in a lot of effort in order to guide others through the door.
This time, because of the matter with Li Yadong, it was also a form of training for me. I was able to witness the fact that there was still a Gu poison in the world of cultivation.
Since the things on Li Yadong's side had already been settled, I decided to leave this place and head south once again, continuing to hone my skills.
When I went out to eat with Li Yadong, I told him about this matter. He was reluctant to part with me and wanted me to stay a few more days, but I politely rejected him. A life of comfort is not suitable for me.
This meal can be considered as my meal with Li Yadong. After dinner, I will leave this place and head south. As for what happened on the way, I will not know.
What I want to live is a life on the road.
After bidding farewell to Li Yadong, I decided to leave the city. On the way, I would walk a few thousand kilometers on my own two legs like a monk.
Back when he was in university, he heard that there was a university student who was hiking all the way to Tibet. He thought that it was a great thing and always thought that he could have a free trip whenever he wanted.
In the past, he didn't have time when he was in school, but after graduation he had to be busy looking for a job. Now that he had become a Taoist, he had a lot of time to complete this task.
In fact, all the trials and tribulations during this period of time were enough for me to recall for a long time.
I don't know what the future holds, but I must go on.
Walking aimlessly along a large road, carrying my bag on my back, I watch as a group of people pass by me in a flash. Sometimes, looking at these unfamiliar people, this strange city, I wonder, just what are these people busy with every day?
Everyone has their own stories, everyone has their own lives, but I, Dongfang Tian Luo, am one of those people, but I am a very special one. Originally, I could also live like them, but the heavens gave me a joke, and I somehow became a Daoist.
But ever since I started cultivating for the past year, I seem to have fallen in love with this profession. I have never treated Taoism as a profession.
I learned to think slowly about the meaning of life, and something different.
Just as I was walking aimlessly on the street, my phone suddenly rang. I opened it and saw an unfamiliar number. The name was familiar to me. The one who called me was the old mister Li Jinqiao who I met at Li Yadong's house last time.
He seemed to be in this very city, and we had left each other's number out of politeness, thinking we would never meet again. He suddenly called me, which puzzled me, but I answered his phone anyway.
I still have a very good impression of old mister Li Jinqiao. Although he doesn't have a lot of insights on martial arts, he is still a very good person.
At first we made small talk, and then the old gentleman asked me where I was, and I had nothing to hide from him. I told him that I was leaving the town, and that I was on my way.
In the end, he still tried asking, "Mister Dongfang, do you have the time right now to come over and drink a cup of tea with me? Since our last meeting, I've always wanted to ask Mister Dongfang about some profound arts, but I didn't have the time …"
Hearing Elder Li's words, it seemed that he wanted to find me for something. I didn't have anything important to do anyways, so I agreed. He sent me an address and I followed the address to it.
After walking for more than an hour, I found him on a remote side street in this small city. He opened a door and only hung a small sign on the door frame with a few words written on it in calligraphy: "Feng Shui Agency".
If one did not look carefully, one would not notice the words on it at all.
Mr. Li Jinqiao was standing in the doorway when I arrived, waiting for me to arrive.
After seeing me walk over, he warmly greeted me and invited me into the room.
As soon as we came up, we were just chatting. He even made some kung fu tea, and we drank while he talked about Li Yadong.
When he found out from my mouth that Li Yadong was controlled by a female Gu, and that I caught that Gu girl and seriously injured him, Elder Li praised me endlessly, saying that I was truly a capable person. Furthermore, at such a young age, I already had such great ability, my future is limitless, and so on.
I only listened to these words and didn't take them to heart.
But from Elder Li's expression, I seemed to be able to find some clues. I kept having the feeling that Elder Li seemed to have something to say to me, but always seemed to be hesitating to speak.
Seeing this, I smiled and said, "Elder Li, I also do not view you as an outsider. If you have anything to say, just say it. If I can do it, I will definitely not delay it."
Hearing me say this, Elder Li's expression immediately relaxed, and he said somewhat uneasily, "Aiya, you've figured it out. I really have something I want to ask you for help in order to come here. If it wasn't that I really couldn't handle it, I really wouldn't want to trouble you."
"What is it? Why don't you tell me? I can only do my best." I said politely.
Elder Li nodded, sighed, and said, "The thing is, I have a friend who is in the real estate development business. Last year, he built a comprehensive business building in the city with residential areas and invested a lot of money. He had hoped to earn a lot with this district, but who would have thought that none of the houses there could be sold …"
