While the excavation work in Old Qingfeng City was in full swing, a middle-aged couple came to the capital of Jing Jiang Country, tens of thousands of miles away. They looked to be around 35 years old. After arriving in the capital, they bought a shop at the market in the north of the city.
A few days later, they found more than ten carpenters to renovate the shop. They even put up a new signboard at the door with the words "Guests" written on it. It was nothing new for a wine shop to suddenly open in the market. In recent years, there was an endless stream of people doing business in Jing Jiang Country. Every year, more than ten new shops would open. At the same time, many shops would close down.
The owners of this shop were naturally Yi Tian and Qing Lianyun. Fortunately, their cultivation had already reached the Minute Subtlety realm. It was easy for them to change their appearance and enter the world using Shadow Escape.
This time, Yi Tian had planned to experience the world with a relaxed attitude. Most importantly, he wanted to improve his cultivation of the Great Sun Sutra.
But he had never expected to be pestered by Qing Lianyun. Moreover, based on her understanding of him, she seemed to have found a breakthrough. The strange thing was that she had stopped at a certain point. Then, she suggested that they enter the world together to train their minds.
In order to make her back off, Yi Tian had teased Qing Lianyun that if they wanted to go together, they would have to pretend to be husband and wife and stay in the world for 20 years.
Thinking about the ways of the world and the fact that they would have to pretend to be husband and wife, Qing Lianyun was stunned. But then, she agreed without hesitation. This time, she had put herself on the spot.
As a man, how could he go back on his words? In the end, he had no choice but to bring her along.
Fortunately, they had agreed that after entering the world, they would have to listen to him. So, when they arrived in Jing Jiang Country, they disguised themselves as a middle-aged couple. Before entering the city, they first robbed a mountain bandit den in the mortal world to gather enough money to start a business.
Thinking about how he used to belong to a gang before he started cultivating, he had a few skills that he could use. But considering that he needed to keep a low profile when entering the world, he chose the wine business.
Of course, this was also Qing Lianyun's first time witnessing his winemaking skills. When she recalled that she had once brewed the Purple Cloud Hundred Flowers Honey Wine, she understood. They were all cultivators who had lived for over a thousand years. Naturally, they had learned a lot of unorthodox skills.
When the tavern opened, it naturally attracted a lot of customers. This time, Yi Tian only used ordinary ingredients to brew wine. It was just that there were some improvements in the processing process, and the quality of the wine brewed was slightly higher than other hotels in the city, so it didn't cause any major uproar.
If the wine was good, the price of the wine would naturally be slightly higher. In addition, the middle-aged lady boss, who was dressed up as Qing Lianyun, was in charge. The business was also fluctuating, but they were still able to maintain it.
Three months later, the wine shop could be considered to have officially entered into business. Yi Tian and his wife had also gained a firm foothold in Jingjiang Country. Apart from the money they received from the government, they also received a 30% profit from selling wine.
The two of them woke up early and collected late. They were very busy, no different from the people around them. Only when they rested at night would they feel a little awkward. During this time, Yi Tian fully displayed the rascally attitude he had when he was in the White Horse Gang. He repeatedly said that since he had entered the secular world, he naturally had to act like a mortal. As the owner of a tavern, how could he and the lady boss have different rooms?
At first, Qing Lianyun was angry when she heard this. She even put on a straight face and didn't speak for a few days. However, this just happened to be what he wanted. That night, Yi Tian directly used this as an excuse to move from the back courtyard's east room to the west room to sleep.
However, in less than two days, Qing Lianyun also took a blanket and directly moved into the west room. She even openly slept on the same bed as Yi Tian. However, this time, he noticed that Qing Lianyun even took a bowl of water and placed it in the middle of the bed. As a result, the two of them could only sleep on the left and right sides of the bed.
It was obvious that she meant that they were husband and wife in front of others, but their relationship behind the scenes was as clear as a bowl of water. Yi Tian was also a sensible person. He didn't need to point this out. This way, it was also beneficial to him. At least, they were still like a real mortal couple.
More than a year passed peacefully. One night, when the two of them were lying on the bed to rest, they suddenly heard some crackling sounds in the neighboring courtyard.
Qing Lianyun got up and pushed Yi Tian. Then, she said, "Master, go and see what's going on. Could it be that the neighboring courtyard is on fire?"
Yi Tian calmed down and listened carefully. After that, he waved his hand and said, "Isn't it just lighting firecrackers during the New Year? There's no need to be nervous about it."
Obviously, these words seemed to have evoked Qing Lianyun's endless imagination. She sat up straight and quietly moved to the window. After opening it a little, she took a few glances outside. Then, she turned around and asked, "It's the New Year, aren't we going to make do with it?"
"Isn't it just a New Year? I was tired of it when I was young," Yi Tian said disdainfully.
"Didn't you say that you want to enter the secular world? Since there's such an opportunity, why don't you go deeper? "Qing Lianyun asked back.
"Entering the secular world is one thing. Aren't we living well now?" Yi Tian replied indifferently. After that, he continued to curl up and sleep on the bed.
After a while, he felt that there seemed to be some movement behind him. Then, he realized that it was Qing Lianyun who was gently leaning against him. Then, she said in his ear, "I only know that you're not a person who's aimless. So, why did you choose this place?"
Yi Tian was stunned. He thought to himself, "A woman's intuition is sometimes so accurate that it's scary." To be honest, he didn't have a clear goal along the way. However, deep in his heart, he faintly felt that there was something strange in this direction. In particular, the closer he got to Jingjiang Country, the stronger the feeling became. However, when he arrived here, the feeling appeared and disappeared from time to time. Even now, he wasn't sure if it was accurate.
Only the thunderous wooden fish in his Niwan Palace seemed to be constantly giving him reminders. If he said this, Qing Lianyun probably wouldn't believe him. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he tried his best not to say too much.
At that moment, he heard a neighbor outside the courtyard shouting, "Look, the white lotus has appeared. This year, the Dalin Temple will definitely send down Buddha's Light again." Then, there was a burst of noisy cheers.
"The people of the world are ignorant. How would they know that the spiritual realm is still dominated by Taoism? Although Buddhism is orthodox, it may not be deeply rooted in the spiritual realm," Qing Lianyun said.
He turned to look at Yi Tian, but his face showed an incomparably solemn expression. He said, "Let's go and take a look." Actually, he was already more or less certain in his heart. After cultivating the Great Sun Scripture, this feeling had gradually become stronger. After jumping up from the bed, he hurriedly put on his shoes and rushed out the door. Qing Lianyun, who was behind him, didn't say anything. She got up and followed him out the door.
