Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

Chen Yuan was dressed in commoner clothes, hemp shoes and leggings, and a bamboo hat.

The most striking thing is that he is holding a short stick in his hand. The head of the stick has been ground to a pulp, and the tail of the stick has been ground to a round shape, showing that the owner of the stick has been using it for quite some time.

Seeing Fang Chang, he said with surprise on his face:

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. here! I'm coming from the north, and I'm going to find a boat from Chaoyun Port, and go to the East China Sea to have a look. I've seen the sea in the north, and it's a bit muddy. I wanted to come to the south to see, who knows The thousands of miles of coastline up to Chaoyun Port are full of tidal flats, which cannot be approached."

"I heard that on the East China Sea, there are all kinds of strange islands, some are very prosperous with a large population, some are rich in all kinds of rare treasures, there are also fairy mountains and high people, and there are countless magnificent scenery, so I moved the idea to go to the sea Take a tour."

"I came here to buy some light goods. I can earn some travel expenses by taking them along the way, and buy some pens, ink and dry food."

Chen Yuan was very impressed with Fang Chang.

Not only because when he met Fang Chang back then, he had a demeanor that was not like a mortal, but also because he was the first person to praise his ideals.

At that time, Fang Chang's few words were very precious to Chen Yuan, who had been subjected to many discouraged evaluations from people around him.

"What is the pen and ink for?"

Fang Chang was a little curious, so he asked directly.

"That's right. I have read books for several years, and I happen to have some literary talents. Now that I visit the beautiful scenery of the world every day, I think about not leaving some souvenirs. It's a pity."

"So every time I go to a place, I record the scenery. Unfortunately, I don't know how to paint, so I can only convey the spirit with words, which loses a lot of charm."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yuan patted the package on his shoulder:

"After traveling for some time, I have already saved a lot of manuscripts, wrapped them in oiled paper and carried them on my back every day. I was thinking, when I have a chance in the future, I will send them to my friend back then and ask him to keep them for me."

"If I am lucky enough to live to the time when I am too old to climb a mountain without being buried in a valley or a mountain stream or in the belly of a wild animal, I will organize and publish these, so that people in the world can experience the scenery I have seen without leaving home."

Seeing Chen Yuan looking forward to the future, Fang Chang also felt very good.

It is precisely because there are many human beings like Chen Yuan, who have their own ideals, practice them personally, and enjoy them without feeling hard work, that human beings can continue to advance and society can continue to develop.

This is a very interesting young man.

After chatting with each other for a few words, Chen Yuan bid farewell to Fang Chang, and prepared to continue walking around the market.

It is light in weight and small in size, and it can also sell high-priced goods on the island. It is not easy to find, and he must be familiar with it himself, so as not to be deceived by shoddy goods. These require a lot of energy and research , can not delay too long.

Fang Chang thought for a while, and blessed:

"Meeting is fate, I wish your works can be passed down to future generations."

"Haha, thank you sir."

For this blessing, Chen Yuan was very happy.

Since he has invested a lot of effort in his manuscripts of the beautiful scenery of various places, he is more happy to receive compliments and blessings in this area than he himself is.

...

Coming out of Chaoyun Port, Fang Chang didn't go back the same way, but headed north.

He was going to circle back to the mountain.

Originally, he compared whether to go north by boat or by car, and finally thought that from here to the north, the coastline for thousands of miles is full of tidal flats, and ships cannot dock, so they can only stay at sea. Fang Chang still gave up taking the boat ; Then he also gave up the ride, after all, there was no definite purpose this time, so there was no need to be in a hurry.

At the market in Chaoyun Port, he bought several bags of dried fish that could be used as snacks, and he tore and ate them while walking.

Although the fish meat has been dried into large pieces, it is not tough. It is very soft to the bite, but it is also slightly elastic and chewy.

In addition, sea fish does not need to add salt, and it has a slight salty taste, and slightly more oil than freshwater fish, which makes the taste of dried fish very delicious and fragrant on the lips and teeth.

There is a small town ahead, where you can rest overnight.

During this period of time, he worked with the convoy and always stayed in an inn at night, which made Fang Chang a little used to it, so this time he simply found a place to stay instead of spending the night on a tree branch.

"What would you like, sir?"

The accommodation conditions in small shops in villages and towns are very poor, but at the same time they provide meals for passers-by. Fang Chang simply sat under the shed outside the shop, preparing to have dinner here.

Since there are not many literate people in the world, there is no menu here. Instead, the shopkeeper of the hotel personally reports the name of the dish based on the ingredients in the kitchen, allowing customers to choose.

Fang Chang ordered two dishes with novel-sounding names, then asked the shopkeeper for a cup, untied the gourd on his waist, and poured it out.

As the meal time approached, the pot on the stove was heating up, and the vegetables were washed, peeled and cut, and cooked very quickly.

The level of chefs here is also average, but in order to meet the general tastes of passers-by on this road, there are plenty of ingredients and heavy oil and salt, which makes it interesting to eat.

He gracefully picks up the millet and rice with his chopsticks, and slowly enjoys the sorghum wine in his gourd.

The setting sun has already hung on the treetops.

From the chimneys on the surrounding roofs, the light gray smoke from burning vegetation also began to float out, bending with the direction of the wind, rising into the air and disappearing. The air was filled with the smell of burning firewood and the aroma of hundreds of meals.

This road is not an official road. Although it is smooth enough, it is much narrower. Since it is not far from Chaoyun Port, it is still busy. In addition, it takes about half a day's journey to Chaoyun Port. Many people come and go in the small town to rest their feet, so it is possible to open a small shop here.

A well-dressed young man, with luggage on his back and a weapon on his waist, walked over hurriedly.

Fang Chang knew him. Among the gangsters who escorted the prison car convoy before, there was this young man, but the two had never spoken to each other, or even met each other. However, when Fang Chang was just on his way, he surpassed the boy.

The young man's surname was Li. After bidding farewell to the leaders' ship, he left Chaoyun Port.

Although Fang Chang was wandering around Chaoyun Port, he wasted a lot of time, but he was quick on his feet and came first, so he arrived at this small town earlier.

The boy was very happy to see a familiar face, and came over to say hello.

"Fang...uh...Fang..."

But when he opened his mouth, the boy didn't know what to call him. He only knew that the other party's surname was Fang, and everyone said he was a fairy, which caused a lot of restraint.

"Same as Qingling Yuande and others, just call me Mr. Fang." Seeing this, Fang Chang smiled, and then he pointed to the seat next to the table, "Please sit down. Shopkeeper, add a pair of chopsticks to hold a bowl of millet rice. "

"Didn't you pay a lot of travel expenses? Why don't you take a car?"

Looking at the young man who was hungry and gobbled up food from the rush, Fang Chang asked.

"I'm young and strong. Walking is good for my health, and I just want to take this time to think about the future of my life." The young man swallowed the food in his mouth and replied politely.

Fang Chang nodded without asking further questions.
