Pretend to be a fairy to farm

As time passed day by day, the master and apprentice got up early every day to go up the mountain for training and pick wild vegetables. Chutian Zhuxin got to know many animals and plants in the mountain.

The houses built by the villagers in the depths of the bamboo forest were almost completed, and the village head proudly took them to see the house.

Walking up the mountain after leaving Huangjia Village, it was originally a small path stepped by villagers, but now it has been widened into a road that can accommodate horse-drawn carriages. There is a large newly built pavilion on the side of the road, which will be used as a tea shed in the future for people to rest and eat.

Go straight along the road and you will reach the bamboo forest.The tall and straight purple bamboo blocks the sunlight, and when you walk in, you can obviously feel that the temperature is a few degrees lower than outside, which makes you suddenly cool.

At the end of the road is a bamboo house, built on the basis of several clumps of thick bamboo roots, three feet above the ground, the doors and windows are opened very wide, and the four sides are transparent.

Chu Tianzhu walked into the bamboo house by stepping on the flexible bamboo tube stairs. The interior space of the house is large and the lighting is good.

Straw mats were neatly laid out in the middle of the ground, and a few futon cushions were placed on them. Sitting by the window and looking out, the eyes were full of greenery and the scenery was excellent.

The village chief was very satisfied: "In the past, the houses on the mountain were all made of small windows. In recent years, large windows have become popular, and very thin plain gauze curtains are hung on the windows. The fairy masters sit in the room to meditate and practice, as if in the clouds and mist. Extremely."

Suga looked around: "The immortal masters live in such an empty house, don't they eat, drink, or sleep?"

The village head motioned him to look out of the window. There was a faint path in the depths of the bamboo forest behind the bamboo house.

They left the bamboo house, turned around along the path, and walked for a long time before they came to the gate of a house.

Cotinus cotinus felt almost dizzy, and couldn't help asking: "Why is this road so difficult?"

The village head looked proud: "This is called Qujingtongyou, the residence of the immortals, how can someone find it so casually."

The newly built house is more than twice the size of Cotinus cotinus's house, and a special field has been set aside in the backyard, where some medicinal herbs found by the villagers on the mountain are transplanted.

Because Chu Tianzhu once gave the village head ration balls as fake Bigu pills, and used the ration balls to rescue Ji Xuanling who was fainted from strength, the village head thought that Chu Tianzhu was proficient in alchemy, and specially prepared a piece of medicine for him. field.

Chu Tianzhu likes this place very much. The depth of the bamboo forest in the middle of the mountain is very quiet, unlike the people in the village who come and go and hear each other.

Sumac was also very excited, running around in the yard, but soon he became distressed: "If you move here to live, what will happen to the houses in the village? If no one lives there for a long time, many snakes, insects, and mice will come in." Wreck the house."

The village head offered a suggestion: "It can be repaired and refurbished a little bit, and it can be used as a lodging for travelers. The old man will let his family take care of it."

A few days after moving into the new home in Zhulin, Ji Xuanling came to the door to thank him as promised.

There was a long line behind his carriage, carrying all kinds of boxes and cages. The villagers of Huangjia Village were crowded on the side of the road, and they all looked straight.

The village chief asked his eldest son to lead the way for Mr. Xuan Ling.It's not that he doesn't want to go by himself, it's just that he is old and weak, and it's hard for him to go up the mountain, and he's afraid of delaying the nobleman's time.

The eldest son of the village chief is an honest man, he buried his head in leading the way along the way, and when he arrived outside the bamboo forest, he saluted honestly: "Master Bamboo Immortal lives here now."

Then a young attendant came forward and rewarded him with a small string of copper coins. The village head's son thanked him again and again, took the copper coins and went down the mountain.

Now it is a peaceful and prosperous age, and the products are abundant. In the countryside, it only costs five Wen to buy a bucket of rice. This kind of reward from the attendant is already generous.

Ji Xuanling got off the carriage outside the purple bamboo forest. Today he was wearing a crimson kudzu gauze robe with large open sleeves, revealing the triple layer of white gauze inside.Walking in the bamboo forest, the belt is in the wind, beyond the dust and vulgarity.

The last time he went back, he was ill for a while due to wind evil entering his body, his body was relieved a lot, and now he was still a little weak, so he had to walk slowly.The entourage followed him well-trained, with very light steps.

When Ji Xuanling arrived at the bamboo hut, Chu Tianzhu was lying on his side on the straw mat in the bamboo hut, with one leg bent and the other hand supporting his side face.

Cotinus sumac digs bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. The master and apprentice became obsessed with eating bamboo shoots after they moved in. The fresh bamboo shoots were boiled, soaked in cold water, added some sugar, salt and vinegar, and mixed with sesame oil. They were very delicious.

The plain gauze curtain on the window fluttered with the wind, blocking Chu Tianzhu's sight. It wasn't until Ji Xuanling and his party walked under the bamboo house that he sat up in surprise.

Chu Tianzhu lifted the half-transparent gauze curtain, and Ji Xuanling was standing by the stairs of the bamboo house.

The foundation of the bamboo house was a bit high, Chu Tianzhu sat by the window and looked down, and Ji Xuanling also looked up at him.

The villagers in Huangjia Village accepted Chu Tianzhu so naturally that he always mistakenly thought that he was pretending well-Xianshan generally refers to this large mountain range. Although Huangjia Village is at the foot of the main peak, it is far away from the official road into the mountain. In fact, the princes, nobles and literati who visit the fairy mountain will not come to this remote village, so the villagers have actually never seen anything in the world.

In the eyes of the villagers, Chutianzhu is still the Huanghai of Huangjia Village. Fortunately, he has learned some fairy tricks and is still a farmer in essence.

However, in the eyes of the well-informed Ji Xuanling, Chu Tianzhu is more like the legendary Kaiyuan Emperor than anyone else.

Chu Tianzhu's short hair was no more than an inch long, and he was stunned stubbornly.Those fake immortal masters, imitating Emperor Kaiyuan, only shaved their hair to the shoulders, and they could tie it up as soon as they came out of the mountain, which did not affect wearing official hats;

Chu Tianzhu has been practicing gymnastics since he was a teenager. His muscles and bones are strong and his spirit is restrained. The "immortal masters" do not produce, do not work, and are thin;

The most peculiar thing about Chu Tianzhu is that his skin color is extremely light, even the noble ladies who are the most good at maintaining themselves in Jingzhou cannot compare with him.

The morbid paleness produced in the dark environment was originally a symbol of the common people in the lower city, but in this world, it became ridiculously exclusive to the nobles.

Only nobles who are pampered and do not need to show their faces to work can have a fair complexion.

The last time Ji Xuanling saw Chu Tianzhu, he found out that he was extraordinary, but Chu Tianzhu didn't seem to have heard of Ji Xuanling's name, and he had a grudge against nobles. A prickly hedgehog, even if Ji Xuanling wanted to make friends with him, he couldn't do it.

Chu Tianzhu entertained Ji Xuanling into the bamboo house, and Ji Xuanling left the attendants outside the bamboo house so as not to disturb the immortal master Qingxiu.

The two sat down on the futon.Usually at this time, the owner of the house will burn a furnace of incense and call the boy to serve new tea.

However, the villagers have limited knowledge, and the imitated bamboo house has no shape, and there are no small tea tables, incense burners, calligraphy and paintings inside.

Although Ji Xuanling brought a lot of followers, he couldn't do it for him, and the two just sat on the futon for a while.

In the end, it was Ji Xuanling who spoke first: "Before, I was rescued by the immortal master. According to the village chief, the situation was critical at that time. If it weren't for the immortal master's panacea, the consequences would have been disastrous."

Chu Tianzhu told the truth: "The village head doesn't know medical skills and misunderstood the situation. You were just overtired at that time, and you will be fine if you eat and sleep when you are full."

"The immortal master is too humble. When I see the villagers of Huangjia Village, when they mention the immortal art of the immortal master, they are all in awe. It can be seen that the immortal master has real talents."

Chu Tianzhu only felt that this nobleman was beating around the bush and must have something in mind, so it's better to be frank and clear, he doesn't know any fairy arts: "It's just some tricks to deceive the ignorant villagers."

Seeing that he didn't hesitate to defile himself and was not recruited, Ji Xuanling felt sorry.

However, most of the real strange people in the world have weird tempers, if you try to force them, it may backfire.

At this time, Cotinus cotinus ran in with a few bamboo shoots wrapped around his skirt.Chu Tianzhu wiped the sweat dripping from his temples for him, and told him to go back to the house to rest, not to be greedy for the cold to play in the water, Huang Qiao agreed in his mouth, and kept looking at Ji Xuanling.

Ji Xuanling thought to himself, this unusual Bamboo Immortal Master doesn't seem to mind a poor life.I used to live in an earthen house in the village, but now I live in an empty bamboo house. The diet is light, and only the most basic survival needs are met.

Only for this nephew, not only accepted as an apprentice to inherit the mantle, but also very pampered, if you want to make friends with him, maybe you can make a breakthrough in this aspect.

Ji Xuanling raised his hand, and an attendant in green clothes entered the bamboo house respectfully, and presented a gift list, Ji Xuanling handed the gift list to Chu Tianzhu: "This is my wish, although the immortal master doesn't care about these mundane things, However, Huang Xiaoyou is still young, and he grew up so poorly, so I'm afraid there will be some deficiencies."

Chu Tianzhu was really moved, and took the gift list, and then an attendant came in carrying the gift boxes that had been prepared, and opened them to introduce them one by one.

Gold, silver and jade wares, calligraphy, painting and antiques were sent into the bamboo house like flowing water, which dazzled the master and apprentice.

Because Ji Xuanling couldn't figure out the preferences of this Bamboo Immortal Master, he prepared some gifts of all kinds, and planned to adapt to the situation and match it to his liking.Unexpectedly, Chu Tianzhu looked hopeless, so he had no choice but to go the way of Cotinus cotinus.

Cotinus cotinus is just a child in the countryside, who has never seen this kind of battle before, and was hit by sugar-coated bullets with stars in his eyes, and he already ranks Ji Xuanling as the second best person in the world, second only to his master.

Although Ji Xuanling insisted that it was Chu Tianzhu's elixir that saved him, Chu Tianzhu felt that the ration balls were not that effective, so he didn't want to accept anything in return.

However, Ji Xuanling's words hit the hidden worry in his heart.

The master and apprentice are poor and poor now, and what they eat is the rice grains and fruits and vegetables from the fields sent by the villagers before, and they don't need any money.

It's just that if Chu Tianzhu leaves, because of the difference in the speed of time, if he returns to the city for one day, this world will pass by for a year. He worries that when he is not around, the life of Cotinus cotinus will be unsustainable.

Sumac, who never worries about anything after having a master, is lovingly playing with an amber glass ornament, and Ji Xuanling is explaining the origin of this ornament to him with a smile.

Chu Tianzhu remembered what the village chief said about Ji Xuanling's establishment of the "Suxin School" for poor students to eat and live for free, so he asked Ji Xuanling: "Does it cost a lot of money to build a school?"

Ji Xuanling thought for a while: "When the Suxin Academy was established, it was rebuilt from my family's old house, and it didn't cost a lot. The follow-up maintenance requires a lot of money. After the students live in, they need people to take care of the food, daily life, etc. Buy books, hire professors, provide financial support for those who are sick or want to return to their hometown..."

Calculating the approximate annual expenses of the school in his mind, Chu Tianzhu was puzzled.What good does it do Ji Xuanling to open such a school to help poor scholars?Is it really like what the village head said, Ji Xuanling was born kind and compassionate?Chu Tianzhu couldn't imagine that one day, these words could be associated with a nobleman.
