Upon entering the main house, one finds a simply furnished living room with screens on the east and west sides. On the east side, there is a bed with a low table on it, while the west side is empty.
I went up the stairs to the second floor, where there was a bedroom and a study, both furnished with simple furniture, though they looked a bit old. It seemed I would have to buy other things myself.
After Ajahn cast a few cleansing spells, the courtyard became clean and tidy.
"It looks like I'll be staying here for quite a while, so I might as well get some furniture to make myself more comfortable."
Taoyuan Village is a picturesque rural paradise. Elderly people who are no longer able to do odd jobs can open a shop in the village or grow some fruits and vegetables, which can bring in a good income.
After browsing through several shops and buying his things, Ah Jiang returned to his courtyard.
Although he was alone throughout the entire process, Ah Jiang was used to this lifestyle.
I didn't feel out of place or lonely at all.
Moreover, she really enjoys decorating her room without considering the cost and simply according to her own interests.
"We can't use up all the space in this two-story house, so let's change the layout."
So she divided the first floor into two rooms. The east side was made into a bedroom, with a bed, a wardrobe, and a chest of drawers.
The west side was used as a study, and a complete set of writing implements, several bookshelves, and some common books were purchased from a general store at the foot of the mountain.
One room on the second floor was set up as a meditation room, containing a meditation cushion, an incense burner, and a ceramic pot for planting lotus flowers. Another room was used as a storage room.
The courtyard has simple restrictions, which can be upgraded, but A-Jiang hasn't studied this aspect yet, so he can only use the original ones for now.
Before sunset, Ajahn had completely tidied up the house.
The small building she had tidied up herself gave her a sense of home.
"That's really good."
Ajahn praised it in a very good mood.
Standing on the second floor, the view is expansive and the scenery is pleasant.
The air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of lotus flowers, and the spiritual energy was more than ten times richer than in the mortal world.
Picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, I leisurely gaze at the Southern Mountains. This is simply the retirement life of my dreams!
"If it weren't for the curse Bai Ze mentioned, living to old age like this would be a very good choice."
Ah Jiang herself doesn't have much ambition. Although the world of cultivation has given her endless longing, her current comfortable state makes her want to just lie down and relax.
"Oh, but I can't..."
According to Bai Ze, he should be one of those whose fate is full of twists and turns.
If you don't work hard now, you'll be left with no one to turn to when you encounter difficulties later.
"I don't know what form it will take, which is a bit worrying."
That evening, she lifted the restrictions on the courtyard, sat down in the study, and lit the lotus lantern she had bought from the general store.
This lotus lantern is exquisitely crafted, somewhat resembling the Lotus Lantern from a TV series from my past life. When lit with lamp oil, it emits a bright light and also carries the fragrance of lotus flowers.
She opened the Qiankun bag her grandmother had given her. Inside were twenty low-grade spirit stones, five talismans, three bottles of pills, and three low-grade magic treasures.
For a small family like the Bai family, this was definitely a considerable fortune, and he stared at these things in a daze.
Ah Jiang couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of her life after she traveled through time.
Life at Zhaoxian Taoist Temple was the most relaxed. Every day I went to school with friends, worked hard for my own ideas, and there wasn't much supervision. It was a place where I could let myself go.
Linglong and Xiaopang are her good friends, but because the three of them are too young to control their own lives, they can only live apart.
I wonder how Little Fatty's golden eagle is doing, whether it has recovered?
I wonder if Linglong went to Wanyingzong, and whether we will have a chance to meet again in the future.
Returning to the Bai family felt like entering a prison.
Outside the cage were people waiting to sell her, each wearing countless masks and plotting various interests.
Having experienced things from the subconscious, Ajahn has come to know the cruelty of the world, which seems to be true everywhere.
It's just that some parts are thicker and some parts are even more bloody and cruel.
As someone who was exploited and whose family was usurped, Ah Jiang naturally wouldn't empathize with the people in his family.
But since I promised my grandmother, I will provide some help if I have the means.
However, since Master Jiang and his wife were among those who killed the original owner, it's impossible for them to forgive and forget.
"You all better live well and wait for me, wait for me to come back."
She came into this world and worked so hard mainly because of her poor health; she believed that spiritual practice would allow her to live longer.
In addition, her family treats her badly, and she wants to try her best to leave this family.
In fact, if she could have a stable and comfortable environment, she would have already given up long ago.
After reviewing what had happened, A-Jiang decided to put those matters aside for the time being and focus on his cultivation at the Qinglian Sect.
Goal: To live well.
"By the way, we need to dig a pond when we have time. It's much more comfortable for the Magikarp to stay in there than in the big tank."
Magikarp stayed in the spirit beast pouch for more than two months. When it finally came out, it was in a porcelain pot with lotus flowers growing inside. Ajiang felt that he had mistreated it.
