Strange mountains and rivers

After slowly exhaling, Chen Huaisheng looked out the window.

After a light snowfall in winter, the sun rises over the snow-capped peaks, reflecting the entire mountains in a brilliant golden light. For a moment, the majestic energy in my chest surges vigorously, and my spirit body actually feels like it's shaking.

The dawn is clear and the cold has not yet risen, and the frost leaves are all red.

Entering the rays of the sun, your eyes are filled with red leaves, the Danhai blooms a little bit, and the heat penetrates through the meridians and penetrates deep into the spiritual roots.

Suddenly, Chen Huaisheng had some insights.

The secret of this spiritual root lies not only in understanding, but also in the vitality of the spiritual body.

Only when the spiritual roots are moistened and revitalized can the entire spiritual power be active, and the spiritual body can continue to grow vigorously during the process of breathing and breathing, and achieve an ascent in the realm.

And all of this needs to follow the growth of Daogu in order to accommodate this confluence of hundreds of rivers.

Chen Huaisheng had a hunch that his spiritual roots might undergo a transformation, but he didn't know how.

After tidying up his clothes, Chen Huaisheng changed back into his original clothes. He had not gone down the mountain for the past month. Xiong Zhuang must have been a little anxious waiting.

When he first entered the mountain, he made an excuse to pick up some household items in Langcheng County on the second day. Although Guo Chongdao was not very happy, he still agreed, saying that it was only this time and would not be repeated in the future.

He went down and settled down Xiong Zhuang, who had arrived early. It had been a month, and Chen Huaisheng was really worried and had to go down and take a look.

But now it is much easier for Chen Huaisheng to ask for leave from Guo Chongdao. He just said to go down the mountain to buy some things that are not available in the mountain, and Guo Chongdao agreed.

Of course, you have to return before evening classes, this is the rule.

Fortunately, Langcheng was not too far from the mountain gate, so the magical talisman came in handy. When Chen was descending from the mountain, Si Zheng arrived at Langcheng County just after early noon.

Although Langcheng is governed by Langling Prefecture, the county seat is not much larger than the county seat of Liao County, and it is not as good as Dingling, let alone compared with towns like Dangcheng to the north.

Of the three prefectures in Yinan, perhaps only Huoshan County, the prefecture of Huozhou Prefecture, is larger, but it cannot compare with Dangcheng.

Chen Huaisheng learned from the neighbor of Xiong Zhuang's rented house that Xiong Zhuang had gone to have tea at Fuxiang Tea House on Daxi Street.

Chen Huaisheng was curious. He had also designed several ways for Xiong Zhuang to appreciate the world's sophistication.

One is to go to Langcheng Wharf to work as a coolie. With Xiong's strong body, it is suitable to work as a coolie. Moreover, the wharf is also a place where three religions and nine streams are mixed, but few cultivators go there, so it is safe.

The second is to find a job lifting sedans and carts. It is said that those who work in car and boat shops should be killed if they are innocent. This also shows that these jobs can best expose the dark side of the world, and can also give Xiong Zhuang the fastest insight into the world.

The third is to be an idler and wait for the cold weather to go into the mountains to collect enough winter medicine as a merchant from the Northern Army.

Unexpectedly, Xiong Zhuang actually enjoyed being an idle medicine dealer. In addition, he was tall, slurred in speech, and not too afraid of the cold. It really fit Beirong's original image of a businessman.

I saw Xiong Zhuang leisurely scraping the tea foam with the lid of the teacup, then picking up the teacup and taking a sip. I was very comfortable listening to the storyteller on the stage telling the story of "The Record of the Great Zhao Qianlong and Tengfeng". , Chen Huaisheng felt that Xiong Zhuang's learning ability was much stronger than he thought, and his worries seemed a bit unnecessary.

It wasn't until Chen Huaisheng sat next to him that Xiong Zhuang realized what he was saying. He was so surprised that he was about to speak when he saw Chen Huaisheng wave his hand: "Brother, let's listen to the book first. Maybe I haven't listened to it for a long time."

"But it was said that the official family of Great Zhao bestowed upon the twelfth disciple of the new generation head of the Huaxi Sword Sect as the number one scholar in the [Hidden Dragon and Soaring Phoenix List] in the 27th year of Jingzhen, which immediately aroused huge controversy..."

"... Dear readers, why are official titles being questioned? Could it be that if this is not the official decision, what else could happen? Everyone, please listen to me carefully..."

But I saw the storyteller stopped talking, his eyelids drooped, he just picked up the cup of matcha, but refused to say any more.

Immediately under the stage, a child picked up a tray and walked around. The tea guests around him craned their necks to hear the next story. Naturally, they understood what this meant. Some laughed and scolded, some scolded, and some booed.

But in the end the child walked around, and many customers still threw in copper coins and silver coins.

Occasionally, when you meet generous Zheshe guests, you can also pick up one and a half spiritual stones.

The little boy is also very knowledgeable. When he sees a spiritual stone, he will immediately put it away in his arms, fearing that it will be snatched away by the idle men next to him.

When he saw the little boy returning to the stage, the storyteller slapped his wake-up call, cleared his throat, and continued on.

"Taihua Dao immediately criticized him, saying that this was not the number one candidate prepared by the various sects at the time. Even officials cannot be so good at breaking the rules. Following Taihua Dao, Jiulian Sect also expressed doubts. And the Luoyi Mi family, but there are also many people who support the official family, such as the Yunzong and Wanxiang sect that day, as well as the Bianjing Shi family and the Kou family..."

"Everyone knows, our great Zhao family is founded on Taoism. The Zhao family of Great Zhao is the best family in the world. The Shi family, the Kou family and the Zhao family are all in the same spirit. Everyone probably knows something about it, but Many of the officials of the Luo Yi Mi family are probably a little unfamiliar with this. It would be a long story..."

Chen Huaisheng also knew that this was the storyteller talking about the old events in the world of immortality the year before last. He was still working as a hunter in Sui County at that time and had heard a few words about it.

However, after two years, I didn’t expect that ordinary people would still talk about these stories with great interest.

Although he didn't know where the stories told by the storyteller came from, Chen Huaisheng could still judge that it was most likely that they had been added to and processed by countless people countless times before they became so vivid and vivid. Even ordinary people like this Everyone was fascinated by it.

Although these stories feel very far away, they are actually closely related to the lives of these people.

Maybe some family can give birth to an innate Taoist seed, and then be introduced into the sect by these large sects. A blockbuster story of a fish leaping into a dragon may be staged, and it is not impossible for a chicken or a dog to ascend to heaven.

This happens every year.

Which family has another Taoist seed born this year? Which family's child knows the Taoist bones at the age of six? Which family's husband awakens his spiritual roots at the age of nine? Which family's boy is taken away by that sect at the age of ten? These stories all happen around the common people.

Similarly, the girl who goes to a brothel to live a life of flesh and blood has to support her Taoist brother to insist on taking spiritual food. The husband of that family has awakened his spiritual roots and traveled for many years but has not entered Taoism. He has no face to go home to see relatives and friends, and becomes a bandit outside. Well, in order to become a Taoist, the husband of a certain family changed his surname and married into a certain family, and the relationship with the original family was severed. These cases are also common.

It can be said that cultivating immortality and entering Taoism carries the longing and dream of all ordinary people.

Being a farmer in the morning and visiting the sect in the evening can change the destiny of the whole family.

And once a family has a Taoist seed, it means that the chance of its descendants becoming a Taoist seed will also greatly increase, and marriage will also become a link to benefit other families, and it may also become a transaction.

Those children of poor families who were born as Taoists but failed to enter the Tao still have the same chance of marrying mortals from rich families, because the possibility of their children being Taoist will be greatly increased.

Xiong Zhuang can hear these stories every day in the tea shop, and combined with the storytellers' daily stories about the ups and downs of the world of immortality, they make Xiong Zhuang feel that he has chosen to taste tea as a Beirong merchant. It's so suitable.

I come here to collect medicinal herbs in winter and spring, and now I have plenty of time to drink tea, listen to human stories, and understand the ways of the world.
