Chapter 16 The vast land of Shenzhou

The vast land of China, surrounded by the sea in the southeast, is the ancient relics and the essence of the world; across the mountains in the west, there are many barbarians and poisonous miasma, hidden floods and famines and alien species; the northern grassland contains rare treasures, and also gathers jackals, tigers and leopards. It is not easy for all sentient beings in heaven and earth to be hit by winter, summer heat, floods and lightning. He also wants to taste joy, anger, sorrow and joy, all kinds of cause and effect. Look at the gathering and dispersion, all kinds of fate. Life, old age, illness and death, all kinds of fate.

Life is ruined, and there is no one who wants to live a long life. Man is the primate of all things, but all those who are intelligent are painstaking all their lives to seize the creation of heaven and earth and seek the roots of the universe, which is called "seeking the Tao by law". But the road to long life has not yet been found, and the benefits of practicing the Tao have attracted people. Due to the number of products, customs and dislikes, and differences in beliefs, there is gradually a prejudgey. The mild ones die and don't contact each other, and the severe ones meet each other and don't wear the sky.

However, "those who have a state-owned family will not suffer from widowhood and inequality, and will not suffer from poverty and uneasiness." But the north has four distinct seasons, and everything grows in an orderly manner. Although the quantity is small, the quality is good. The south is warm, and everything is rising rapidly. The categories are complex, but there is little spirituality.

Southern people are happy, and northerners are competitive. Although most of the religious dojos in the world are safe in the southeast, but the masters are mostly concentrated in the northern country. Among them, the top ten "holes", 36 "small caves" and "72 blessed places" are the leaders of Shenzhou.

Most of the factions in the world are passed down from generation to generation. Its high requirements and strict selection of apprentices have its own advantages. Although the number of people is small, they are all dragons and phoenixes among people. Among them, the only famous faction is the "Danxia Mountain" in Wuling, which widely accepts ten Taoists and chooses talents to pass on the law. Its mountain Zhongling Yuxiu, more than 2,000 miles of blessing. The valleys in Fudi are uneven, and the peaks are stacked. Among the many spiritual veins, it is led by the elders, Yangyuan, Yinyuan, Baozhu and Conch on both sides of the Jinjiang River.

The thirteenth year of Hongxiao, September, the preface is the third autumn. Rong Hui has been admitted to "Danxia Mountain" for three months after the entrance examination. At that time, the excellent people could go to "Yangyuanfeng" and "Yinyuanfeng" to worship famous masters and inherit the manor. The best can go to the "Pearl's Peak" and "Snail Peak" and learn from the craftsman to make medicine. Qualified people can only act as military households and cultivate spiritual fields.

Because the Yang family came from the Zhu family and became disciples, they passed on Rong Hui and the three as "princes and princesses of Yelang Kingdom". Anyone who makes friends with people must introduce the customs of life in the world in detail. Stepping on the three people, he became a "red man" among the new disciples. The ignorant followed and laughed when he saw the three people. Seeing Rong Hui's "Yangming period" cultivation clearly, he knew that the Yang brothers and sisters had suffered and only sneered in their hearts.

Rong Hui is not a weak crown. With this cultivation, he could have been able to go to "Yangyuanfeng" to practice with a famous teacher. It's just that he didn't understand world affairs and didn't understand Taoism, and he didn't want to be entertained by the children of the Shanzhong family, so he retreated and asked for the second place. He went to the "Pearl Peak" as a registered disciple and learned to make tools. Fortunately, the residence is also a single family, and the food is also second-class Lingmi.

"Pearl's Peak" is more than 4,000 feet high and divided into 81 floors. It is not only a top-quality spiritual vein, but also a large workshop. After entering the "Pearl Peak", the raw materials were processed layer by layer, and finally refined into a magic weapon at the top "Tiangong Pavilion".

He lives in a three-storey attic on the 32nd floor. There is a five-foot platform in front of the door and an exclusive workshop embedded behind the building. If you buy blanks from the lower layer and attach a phalanx as required, you can increase the price of 32 taels of silver and sell it to the upper layer. Among them, the income is no less than that of the inner disciples.

"The array" is extremely mysterious for monks, and it can only be demonstrated between masters and apprentices, which is difficult to understanding. But in Rong Hui's view, it is just a "resonance" between spiritual power and materials. As long as you think about it, it is not difficult to control, but also an eye-opener.

He is familiar with driving and can fight gold every day, and is praised as a "little genius" by his peers. Rong Xue and Ling Xiao went to the "Snail Peak" to plant hundreds of grasses and raise spiritual beasts. Although it also lives in an attic on the peak, the worship is much worse.

At noon that day, Rong Hui finished lunch and sat at the stone table outside the building drinking tea and basking in the sun. There was a mud stove tea set in front of the table, and the tea in the pot began to boil. There is a " sundrum" on the table, but where the "clock face" is connected to the "pin", there are two more long and short horizontal needles. The short needles point to the noon, and the long needle points to the empty place. There is a layer of gauze outside the square base, and there is sound under the net:

... Following the slight increase in the price of standard Lingmi in 'Youzhou' last month, the price of Lingmi in Zhuzhou, Hebei Province also began to rise. In this incident, we contacted an official in charge of 'money and grain' in the Ministry of Household... According to the investigation of the imperial court, the price of standard Lingmi in the north rose, one is because of the failure of the year, and the other is because the market of 'Spirit Liquor' has risen. However, with the north of the grain this year, the rice market will tend to stabilize. ......

It is the widely used "sound-drum" in the cultivation world.

The spiritual fluctuation has a far-reaching impact, and the Taoist is agile. It can use a trace of spiritual fluctuation to calculate the cause and effect. Win thousands of miles, and it's not good to try. But the road is one foot high, and the devil is one foot high. Some people calculate, and some people deliberately interfere, and the 'sound clock' came into being.

Later generations kept groping and found that spiritual fluctuations could turn into sound and send messages for thousands of miles, so they gradually replaced the beacon with a "sound penet". After the war, the four seas rose to level, and the "phone" gradually became a communication instrument among monks.

Rong Hui's "sound sundrum" was exchanged privately with an ingot. Because "Danxia Mountain" is a Taoist temple of cultivation and does not want his disciples to be disturbed by common things, it is forbidden for the disciples on the mountain to listen to the "sound sundrum". He is a registered disciple, as long as he is not provoked by the public. Law enforcement monks are also happy to "open one eye and close one eye".

"Lingmi's first rebirth machine, second to vitality, quality is divided into nine. Northern rice is good, but 'more monks and less porridge'. There are many rice in the south, but it is not as good as the quality of the north. The two are weighed with the fifth-class spiritual rice as the standard. Youzhou' is rich in Guanwailing, known as 'stick roe roe ladle scoop fish', and has always been the main production area of high-quality spiritual rice. He heard that the production of spiritual rice in the north was reduced, and he believed that the price of rice in the south was bound to rise. Seeing that he missed a wave of markets, he regretted: "So many spiritual rice in the world have been ruined!" My heart hurts, and I heard the "sound" say:

"Contrary to the price increase of Lingmi, the 'South Index' continues to fall. According to the analysis of industry insiders, this is a cyclical decline led by the price increase, cost increase and profit decline. For this reason, we have contacted Master Lu of Baiqiaotang... If there are Taoist friends who plan to hold shares in isolation, it is an entry point now. The rising cost is not only a big wave of sand washing, but also a fire refining real gold. It is gold, which can emit the most dazzling light. Like the 'Yiyitang' that has just shed its skin, it can go against the current. And our 'Baqiaotang' is also motionless. In this foolish opinion, Taoist friends who are ready to hold shares do not need to choose the most profitable chamber of commerce, but should choose a chamber of commerce that can withstand the storm... For long-term Taoist friends, they should be cautious at this time. Either delist and wait and see, or choose a stock to avoid risks and win a turnaround at the first time..."

The imperial court implemented the north and south Beijing system, and Yanjing was the military and political center, garrisoned the border to resist the humiliation and resist foreign enemies. Nanjing is the center of hundreds of industries, choking the throat of the river. According to the world's victory, the money and grain in the south of the Yangtze River are exhausted. Only when the north refuses to help from the south can the world be established.

At the time of the "British Emperor", there was a great war, and the national strength declined sharply, and the major immortal families supported themselves. Emperor Xianzong succeeded to the throne and saw that the world was about to fall apart. Fortunately, he got advice from counselors and set up a "Securities Department" in Nanjing to issue national debt and support all industries. The major forces are covered with rain and dew. Set up a "city division" in Guangzhou to communicate with Western countries and resist the herdsmen.

When the "Securities Division" was first established, it cooperated with 60 world-renowned grain companies, pharmacies, machine workshops, Fu Luxing, Fazhen lines, imperial beast companies, Qianzhuang and bodyguard companies, and compiled the "Nanjing Securities Division Stock Price Average Index", referred to as "South Index".

Yong Hui remembered the situation in the world and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "It is reasonable to spend money on capital in the first half of the year, and there will be some harvest in the second half of the year. Why does the 'South Index' not rise but fall? Is there any tricks? He was distressed and suddenly heard a soft smile: "How much money have you made?" Clear and pleasant to the ear, it is Ling Xiao.

"I don't dare to think about making money. I know how much I lost!" He laughed dumbly and turned back according to the sound. Ling Xiao's cheeks were slightly red, and he wore a sky-blue narrow-sleeved skirt. The neon foot is falling. She walked at the table, took the opportunity to sit down, poured a cup of tea, drank it all, and then breathed: "I'm exhausted!"

"What!" Rong Hui poured another cup of tea for her and gloated: "Aren't you going to rain Lingtian?"

There are three ways for monks to rain. First, the "earth spiritual power" is scattered into the clouds to make the water vapor fall heavily and replenish the vitality of the soil. The second is to use low temperature to urge rain and replenish soil moisture. These two rainfall methods have a wide impact and are organized by Shanmen every year.

Lingxiao specializes in "water spirit", which can stimulate "water vapor" with its own "water spirit" to rain small pieces of spiritual fields and increase the spirituality of crops. So he made a name in Shanwaifang City and regularly went to help the soldiers rain and earn some pocket money.

"Yes, two games in a row!" She said bitterly, "But I heard that there is a black market nearby, and the man promised to take me there at night!" I'll come to you at that time. Remember to bring money!"

"Danxia Mountain" is more and more important, and the control is extremely strict. Although there is also a market at the foot of the mountain, it only sells some needles and brains and daily necessities. Nearby specialties, such as tungsten ore, the main material of refining high-quality magic weapons, will never flow out.

"Black market?" As soon as Rong Hui heard that there was a play, he didn't know how to practice, so he had to practice escape. The first is to exercise the mind, the second is to consolidate the "spiritual power", and the third is to prepare "oil on the soles of the feet". Hearing the words, I couldn't help opening my eyes and asking, "What's in it, fairy art, magic weapon, or magic!"

Ling Xiao rolled his eyes in his heart: "Fairy skills are not passed on. You have to pay taxes when you enter the world, and you can't afford to touch it!" Euphemistically told, "You have everything. Just bring more money!" Looking up at the sky, it was too late to drink another cup of tea and get up to say goodbye.

Rong Hui saw Ling Xiao leave and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Lingmi rose and the southern finger fell. Could it be that something big was going out? Unfortunately, the news is tightly blocked and the wind doesn't go out at all. Whether it was changing the skills, or listening to the news, or insting about the whereabouts of the mysterious girl, I felt that the black market was a great help, so I took a little check, jumped up, and hit a spiritual force to the attic with my backhand to open the courtyard array.

The pillars flashed with blue light and overflowed with smoke. The smoke was connected into a gas, slowly condensed, and finally turned into a field of "junction" to protect the attic. Rong Hui felt it and found that the changed "junction" fluctuated normally, so he stepped away.

He doesn't want to be eye-catching, so he simply learns to "ride everything to travel" and step in the air. Leisurely, I thought about the escape skill: "If I can hold the boundary of the courtyard on my brother, I can break through the speed of sound." Since practicing escape, every time I want to break through the speed of sound, my body begins to tremble, and I can't stand it any faster. It was speculated that the protective array arranged on the mountain could withstand sonours. You can imitate the courtyard array outside the body with divine thoughts, and the body can't stand the fluctuation of the magic array.

"It's too difficult to shrink the magic circle, and it's too heavy to wear armor..." Rong Hui calculated it all and found that he could resist the sound explosion with a defensive magic weapon, so he thought: "Brother, I will rely on it to walk around the world in the future. You must get one!" In his wild thoughts, he went straight to Meiling Square.

The Wuling Pass, starting from the west, is Yuechengling, Mengzhuling, Qitianling "Yangshan Pass", Dupanling "Xhuangxiguan" and Meiling "Yongpu Pass". The two gates in the west are in Miaojiang, and the three gates in the east are all in the palm of Danxia Mountain. On the ridge is the Falsma Tower, customs clearance guardhouse. Under the hillside is the workshop barracks and the tooth market.

Under the bright sun, Rong Hui walked in the clouds and walked in the air. Seeing that outside the city, the spiritual power suddenly got out of control and fell straight down. There is a prohibition!" He was shocked, took a breath and floated down. After falling by more than a hundred feet, the spiritual power is controlled. After walking two miles, it was like stepping on the air, and the body fell again. This fall was another hundred feet, and it actually reached the "no-fly zone" of Fang City.

He condensed and found that there were fluctuations around him. Although it was as thin as a hairline, it could resonate with the spiritual power outside his body, making it uncontrollable. After stepping on a few times, I finally found the "forbidden law" feature. The monk hangs in the air with spiritual power and has his own common. If you want to be free from the interference of the "forbidden law", you can either be strong or change the vibration of spiritual power outside the body.

Most of the monks could only land obediently. Rong Hui came all the way down, but found that the "forbidden law" was not coherent and smiled: "I just like to come to such a place with a way out!" He fell to the ground and stood in the forest outside the workshop.

Jingyue Road is more than 3,000 miles long. It reaches Shaoguan in the south and Ganzhou in the north. It is three feet wide and is all formed by monks who gather "earth spirits" with arrays. A horse can leap ten feet. The wheels roll and can not touch the ground. Even if you pull a truck of ore, you can come day and night.

Rong Hui wore a watery half-arm straight, wore a black silk mesh scarf embedded in red jade, and walked on the roadside. When passers-by saw him wearing "Danxia Mountain" clothes, they took a look at him one after another. Seeing that driving horses and driving are all foundation monks, he also sighed: "This world is really amazing, and foundation monks are also working hard!"

The city is built on the side of the main road, which is quite large. Rong Hui found the "big and medium-sized money bank" opened by this door, took out a pile of white strips and his identity jade pendant from his arms, and handed them to the clerk: "Change them all into 'treasure banknotes'."

"It turned out to be the brother of the 'Tiangong Pavilion', and I have been looking forward to it for a long time!" The clerk took the white strip, saw the seal on the strip, and stretched out his hand to ask, "Brother, wait a minute!"

In the three-foot lobby made of gold bricks, there is a three-foot counter separated by the boundary in the east, and there is a row of mahogany chairs in front of the counter. Rong Hui saw that there were still three or five people in front of the public window and was not in a hurry. He carefully observed the details so that he could improve his bank after going back.

"Dazhong treasure banknotes" are based on silver, with a face value of one hundred taels, two hundred taels, five hundred taels and one thousand taels. They can be cashed directly in several nearby states without signing the transaction. The man clicked out 10,000 taels of "treasure banknotes" and handed them over with Yupei, saying "Welcome back".

Rong Hui stared at the "pull"-like treasure money in his hand, in which the imprint fluctuated so that he was dazzled, let alone imitated. After a few calculations, I had to say "admiration" and say goodbye. I went around the city three or four times, but I didn't find anything like the black market, so I had to go back to my residence first.

At dusk, Rong Hui took the "grain ticket" to the mountain canteen for a vegetarian meal. Walking back to the mountain, Xiao has been waiting in front of the building. She combed a fallen horse bun, wore a lavender ox vest, an autumn pleated skirt, plain gauze cloud sleeves, gently with the wind, and became a different scenery in the sunset.

"Have you eaten it!" Rong Hui stepped on the platform and smiled and said, "Isn't that girl coming?"

"She realized that the potted flowers suddenly died, and she said, 'Everything withered and picked up the flowers in the morning and evening', and became yin and yang." Ling Xiao smiled and explained, urging Rong Hui, "Change your clothes quickly. That man is waiting for us in Meilingfang City!"

"Enlightenment! If you grow flowers and grassland, you can also make your debut!" Rong Hui smiled and opened the boundary with his identity jade pendant. He entered the room and changed his bamboo crown. A piece of sapphire blue cocoon silk straight. After going out, he played a spiritual force with his backhand and jumped up with Ling Xiao and floated lightly to Meiling.

"Miss Chen, how did you come!" When the sunset was all over the sky, a man in sackcloth in the courtyard heard the knock on the door in the backyard and greeted happily. Three steps and two steps opened the back door, but when I saw a young man beside Ling Xiao, I couldn't help but suspect: "Huh? This Taoist friend is..." Reach out and ask Rong Hui.

"My surname is Li, and he is her brother." Rong Hui didn't need to be introduced and bowed. When he got up and saw the cultivation of the "Young Yang period" of the big man, his heart was slightly awe-hearted, and he immediately raised his twelve points of vigilance.

Seeing that Ling Xiao had brought more people, he also frowned slightly and was not polite: "I heard that 'Danxia Laozu' was closed to a critical place, so the place was changed to Ganzhou. Let's get in the car!" Reach out and point out the door. At the opening of the gate, there is a dark flat-roofed carriage. It's just four wheels under the box, and there are no windows on the wall, which is more like a coffin.

Ling Xiao felt inappropriate and looked at Rong Hui. Rong Hui saw the big man careless: "Come up quickly. There are still a few more people on the road. I guess it won't arrive until Xu time!" While talking, he stepped on the cham, lifted the reins, and was a little embarrassed to retreat. He simply took Lingxiao's hand and got into the carriage through the back door.

There is a fluorescent lamp hanging on the roof of the car, which illuminates the carriage six feet wide and onezhang high, and ten chairs in the compartment. Ling Xiao heard that there were still people on the car. He did not know the depth of the other party and motioned Rong Hui to sit down. As soon as the two sat down, the carriage set out and the house flew straight back.
