Rebirth and daily cultivation

2014, July 22, afternoon.

Two battery cars set off from Heba. Xue Yuantong took Jiang Ning's battery car, while Xue Chuchu sat on Aunt Gu's battery car.

Yuzhou Railway Station.

Jiang Ning was carrying a travel backpack, while Xue Yuantong was carrying a small backpack, which contained their ID cards, wallets, tissues and other daily necessities.

"Mom, Chu Chu, let's go!" Xue Yuantong smiled happily, without any sadness of parting.

Aunt Gu sighed in her heart, "My mother is worried when her son travels a thousand miles," not to mention that this journey is more than a thousand miles.

"Jiang Ning, take good care of Tongtong." Aunt Gu instructed.

Jiang Ning nodded.

Xue Yuantong raised his little head, "Mom, it's my turn to take care of him!"

Aunt Gu touched her daughter's head, causing Xue Yuantong to complain: "She's not growing taller."

Although it was a farewell, Xue Yuantong always kept the atmosphere lively and made her mother less sad.

However, in the end they are always different.

In the square in front of the station, Aunt Gu watched her daughter enter the station. She didn't look back until she could no longer see her back.

"Chu Chu, go to school."

Xue Chuchu: "Okay."

…

Two days later, it was sunny, three o'clock in the afternoon.

Guangling, Slender West Lake.

The dragon head cruise ship floats on the lake, with countless weeping willows planted on both sides, and pavilions and pavilions mixed in among them.

Xue Yuantong was sitting on a boat and looked out the window. The clear lake water was sparkling with sparkling waves. It was so beautiful. The cruise ships were floating leisurely on the water.

As the cruise ship moved forward, the lake became wider and narrower. Xue Yuantong said in shock:

"Isn't Slender West Lake a lake? Why does it look like a river?"

In her stereotype, lakes should be round.

At the bow of the ship, the tour guide brought a microphone. She motioned to the pavilion in front and introduced:

"We're reaching the Diaoyutai ahead. When the emperor visited the south, he suddenly became interested in fishing when he came here. But the salt merchants around him were anxious. What if the emperor couldn't catch any fish?"

"A smart salt merchant sent sailors to dive into the lake and hang live fish on dragon hooks. The emperor caught many dragon fish. The emperor was very depressed. When he was about to ask, he heard the salt merchant say, 'How dare any fish dare to look at the emperor? "Long Live the Golden Hook Only Catches Dragons', one of these words won the Emperor Long Yan's joy."

After hearing this, Xue Yuantong was filled with emotion: "It's great to be an emperor!"

A tourist nearby laughed: "What's the benefit of being an emperor in ancient times? There was no air conditioning in the summer, and it was not as comfortable as the rich people today!"

"It's great to be an emperor in modern times!" the tourist said.

Xue Yuantong: "There is no emperor in modern times."

Jiang Ning looked around at the beautiful scenery of Slender West Lake. This garden was not owned by a single salt merchant, but by countless salt merchants in Guangling who worked together to build it in order to please the emperor.

He thought that if he had nothing to do in the future, he could create a similar private garden when Changqingye launched a few more products.

There are not many scenic spots in Guangling. Apart from Slender West Lake, there are only a few gardens to see. The later-famous Grand Canal Museum has just begun to make construction decisions. As for the opening, it will be 7 years later.

…

July 27, Nanshi, five-star hotel.

The 46th floor is magnificent and has an elegant environment, offering a panoramic view of the prosperity of Nanshi.

For the hotel's breakfast buffet, Xue Yuantong chose the famous big meat buns, duck blood vermicelli, salted duck, beef pot stickers, and various fruits, piling up three or four plates.

Ever since she found out that the hotel cost 1,000 yuan a night, she vowed to make her money back.

While Xue Yuantong was enjoying his meal, at the table next to him, a well-dressed urban beauty just ordered a cup of coffee and sat there, quietly tasting it.

Indescribable elegance.

In contrast, they are like people from two different worlds.

Xue Yuantong couldn't help but slow down her eating speed. Her Taoist mind was affected.

After Jiang Ning saw it, he said: "Eat, there are 269 people. Do you want to get your money back?"

Xue Yuantong was instantly full of motivation.

In the next few days, they visited the scenic spots in Nanshi, Xuanwu Lake, Qinhuai River, Laomendong, Confucius Temple...

Xue Yuantong also tasted the delicacies, including Qinhuai eight specialties, honey lotus root, Yuanxiao, plum blossom cake, sauce duck, stinky tofu...

…

August 7th.

The train is heading to Huangshan, soft sleeper compartment.

Outside the window is a picturesque scenery, with thick blue clouds, distant mountains like black clouds, layer upon layer, and Huizhou-style buildings dotted in Cangshan Mountain.

"Mountain climbing tomorrow!"

Xue Yuantong is very motivated. After conquering Mount Tai effortlessly, she wants to conquer Mount Huang again.

That night.

The whirling pine branches sieve the moonlight into pieces, and sprinkle it bit by bit on the winding steps.

Jiang Ning stepped on the moonlight and climbed to the top of Guangming Peak.

Xue Yuantong trotted behind him, full of energy, which made the tired and half-dead tourists nearby curse in every possible way.

The night wind blew, and the sunset stage was crowded with people. Jiang Ning found a seat and put his hands in his pockets.

The sunrise in Huangshan is more beautiful than that of Mount Tai, but it is not as good as the first time because Xue Yuantong had hot pot that time but not this time. It always felt a little less interesting.

After watching the sunrise, Xue Yuantong was in high spirits.

Visited several more attractions.

When we came to a canyon, there was the sound of waterfalls in the distance, and there were mountains and dense forests on both sides.

A little further away, there are delicate summer cuckoos in full bloom, clustered like bells, contrasting with the wonderful pines, adding a lively and moving beauty to the mountain peak.

"Jiang Ning, look good!" Xue Yuantong jumped up and down.

Many tourists took out their mobile phones to take photos of the rhododendrons, and many were amazed by the beauty of the flowers.

A child shouted: "Dad, I want Huahua!"

The child's father looked at the azaleas on the cliff with a sad face. The child didn't want the azaleas, he obviously wanted his life!

From time to time there are shadows of monkeys flickering around. They are agile and active in the mountains and forests, walking on flat ground, often whizzing past in groups.

The tourists screamed in surprise.

Xue Yuantong was equally surprised. It was the first time she saw a living monkey.

A young woman took out food from her bag and was about to feed it to the monkeys. As soon as she opened the plastic bag, a monkey rushed over and nimbly took away the food.

The young woman was satisfied and admired the photos she had just taken.

Xue Yuantong was moved, took out a peach from the small bag, and put it on the fence.

Thinking of the monkey eating, she was a little greedy, so she tore open another honey-glazed chicken drumstick, ready to taste it.

A monkey jumped over, and Xue Yuantong thought it was getting peaches. The monkey probably had a spoiled appetite and didn't even care about peaches.

It kicked its legs, stretched out its claws, and savagely snatched the chicken leg from Xue Yuantong's hand.

Xue Yuantong was frightened and stunned.

Monkeys are very wild and show their teeth and claws, and ordinary people will definitely be suppressed.

Nearby tourists could not help but scream.

Seeing that the monkey was about to grab Xue Yuantong, Jiang Ning stepped forward and slapped the monkey's red face.

It was instantly stunned.

When it reacted, it immediately bared its teeth and grinned in an extremely ferocious manner.

"Are you okay with robbing things?" Jiang Ning slapped her twice more.

This movement attracted the attention of others, "Oh my god, he is beating the monkey!"

The two slaps were so powerful that they almost gave the monkey a concussion. It was originally squatting on the railing, but now it was swaying and about to fall.

Jiang Ning stretched out her hand to steady it and pointed to the summer azalea in the distance.

In the eyes of everyone, the monkey seemed to understand. It jumped a few times, turned over to the flower, picked two bright red azaleas, jumped back again, and handed it to Jiang Ning like a treasure.

Jiang Ning motioned to Xue Yuantong next to him, and the monkey offered it obediently.

Xue Yuantong took the azalea in a daze. The delicate azalea reflected her delicate face.

The other tourists were dumbfounded. How could you do this?

Jiang Ning turned on her phone camera and captured this scene.

After he finished, he picked up the peach on the railing. The monkey was extremely intelligent and rubbed his hands excitedly, thinking that he was going to give him the peach.

As a result, Jiang Ning finished the peach in several bites in front of the monkey and handed the peach core to it.

The monkey dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. He hugged the peach core and ran away angrily.

…

August 10, Porcelain Capital.

A room full of porcelain.

Xue Yuantong spent four hours making a small porcelain bottle. On the surface of the pure white porcelain bottle, an antique ink-colored figure was printed.

"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, look!" she said in a showy way, her little hands covered in mud almost smeared on Jiang Ning's face.

Jiang Ning seriously doubted that she did it on purpose.

"Does it look good?" she asked.

"Of course it looks good. After all, that figure is me." Jiang Ning said.

"Tch!" Xue Yuantong pouted, she wanted Jiang Ning to guess.

Immediately, she tilted her head: "Yes, last time I went to the Evergreen Liquid Company, the bottles of their Evergreen Liquid seemed to be porcelain bottles."

The master who was teaching people to DIY porcelain next to him said with a smile: "Little girl, the outer packaging bottles of Evergreen Liquid are all customized from us."

His words were full of contentment. After all, Evergreen Liquid is a best-selling product abroad.

Xue Yuantong held the porcelain bottle in his hand, and after comparing it, he said stupidly:

"But the bottle of Evergreen Liquid is not pretty. It's not as pretty as the bottle I made."

The porcelain master was stunned for a moment, remembering that the packaging of Evergreen Liquid was indeed not outstanding. In order to save his respect, he suppressed a sentence:

"Do you know what cultural heritage is?"

Xue Yuantong didn't understand, so she thought: "It would be great if I could use the bottle I designed!"

Jiang Ning took what she said into consideration. He recorded a video of the porcelain bottle and sent it to Shao Shuangshuang.

…

August 14th, Yunnan, Xicheng.

The beautiful scenery has made this place a must-visit for tourists since ancient times. Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong walked freely and freely.

The bus was driving through the mountains and forests. The windows outside the bus were lush and green, covered with ancient trees that covered the sky. Jiang Ning's spiritual consciousness spread out, and there were even apes and monkeys living in the forest.

The car was full of people, including grandparents, couples with children, and young people. Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong stayed in the last row.

The car drove to an open space, and two stalls were set up on the road ahead. Several men were selling some hats, clothes, and handicrafts.

The bus stopped slowly.

A young couple asked in confusion: "Isn't it here yet? Why did you park the car?"

Not only them, but other tourists in the car also expressed doubts.

For a moment, a lot of noise echoed throughout the car.

A female tour guide in her forties held up a loudspeaker and shouted:

"It's not easy for everyone to come to Xicheng. Let's get off the bus and buy something to commemorate the meaning of the trip."

The girl in the couple was dressed quite fashionably and had a tattoo on her wrist. She said impatiently:

"What am I buying here in the middle of nowhere? Hurry up and drive!"

The aunt in the back row shouted: "Yes, yes, drive quickly."

The crowd in the car was furious.

The face of the female tour guide changed: "If you don't buy anything, how can we make money? If we don't have money, how can we drive you there?"

The boy in the young couple shouted: "You are cheating money, aren't you?"

The female tour guide shouted: "We are open for two months a year, and we make a year's profit in two months. You should hurry up and get out of the car and buy it."

"I have no money!" Some tourists said unruly.

The female tour guide laughed. In her opinion, these tourists were just pigs waiting to be slaughtered. If they didn’t scrape some of the meat off, why would they be a tour guide?

She sarcastically said: "If you don't have money, don't come out to play. You tell me what you're going to do. If you don't have money, don't come out to harm others."

"Everyone who doesn't want to buy anything will get off the bus, I said so!" the female tour guide yelled.

Following her words, the majestic driver silently picked up the guy. In addition, there was a strong man in the car who was eyeing him eagerly.

He walked up to the young couple who was shouting the loudest and slapped them. Suddenly, the environment in the car became quiet.

The female tour guide roared: "You don't have to spend a penny and you still want to travel? What kind of place do you think Xicheng is? Go down and buy them for me. Each person can buy enough for 1,000 yuan!"

There were obviously only three villains, but they frightened the twenty or thirty tourists on the bus into silence.

After being beaten, the young couple immediately became honest. Faced with the evil man's hands, they got out of the car and went to the shabby stall in front to shop.

With someone taking the lead, adults, aunts, and young couples with families all got out of the car to go shopping.

There is no village in front of this place and no shop in the back. They are here for tourism. How dare they lose their lives for 1,000 yuan.

Everyone pinched their noses while shopping, and an aunt, in order to look good, boasted awkwardly: "Hahaha, look at how good the quality of the clothes is, and they are not expensive!"

Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning got out of the car, and she was ready to swallow her anger and buy a gift worth 1,000 yuan.

She knew that Jiang Ning was very powerful, but Xue Yuantong was never aggressive, especially when they were away from home and unfamiliar with people and places. If they got into a conflict, the consequences would be disastrous.

She didn't want anything to happen to Jiang Ning, and would rather spend money to eliminate the disaster.

Xue Yuantong reluctantly chose a "wool" hat and bought two wooden brands, and one thousand yuan was gone.

The female tour guide discovered that this group of tourists was quite wealthy, so she picked up the loudspeaker and increased the price: "One thousand yuan is not enough, buy three thousand per person!"

When slaughtering a pig, you should kill it thoroughly in one go.

Not surprisingly, it aroused public outrage. After some haggling over the money, the female tour guide kindly lowered the price to 2,000.

"Okay, after you finish shopping, hurry up and get in the car. We will go to the next attraction immediately." The female tour guide shouted.

Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong were the last to get on the bus.

Seeing that they didn't get on, the female tour guide urged in a bad tone: "Get on the bus quickly!"

This stop is over, there is still another stop to trick people!

Jiang Ning squeezed the woolen hat and pulled it gently, and a few wool strands fell off. He said: "The woolen hat is fake. According to the market price, you should pay me ten times the compensation."

"Hahahaha!" The big man selling woolen hats, the female tour guide, and the people around all laughed.

The female tour guide asked, "What if I don't pay compensation? What can you do to me?"

The man selling hats copied a dialect: "A bat with chicken feathers on it - what kind of bird are you?"

Jiang Ning said righteously: "You are breaking the law!"

The female tour guide laughed loudly: "I find it a bit funny when you talk about the law."

Jiang Ning squeezed Xue Yuantong's little hand and said helplessly: "Do you see how arrogant they are?"
