Assistant God of Life in Another World

The reason why Fang Tian accepted the appointment of the city lord from the empire was mainly due to two considerations.

One is that he stirred up wind and rain on other people's territory and caused a lot of commotion. Now that they issued a security order and wanted him to be included in the system, he agreed to it, and both parties were happy.If at this point, he still maintains his status as a casual cultivator, and his influence is getting bigger and bigger, it's hard to say what will happen next, and that's what Fang Tian doesn't want to see.

The second is out of spiritual considerations.

In the previous night conversation, Fang Tian once mentioned a method to the Muluo magician: "Put your ears with cotton, cover your eyes with a cloth, abandon meditation, abandon induction, eat once every three days, and do your best in this world."

This is actually the beginning of practice.

Free a person from the complicated and chaotic world, and use all the energy to face one's body and mind.

This method corresponds to the two words "clear" and "quiet".

Because it is quiet, it can be clear.

Because of the clarity, I can see my true face and face my body and mind.

But tranquility is only the beginning after all.

It is impossible to practice only on tranquility.

Just as it is impossible for a person to remain in a baby state forever.Although it is said that "the water in the mountain spring is clear, and the water in the mountain spring is turbid", but the clear spring is only an admirable corner, but it is not the whole of an ideal.

The sea is.

In the previous life, there were often ups and downs in the world involving fame and fortune, and many people came to countries, regions or tribes that still maintained or mostly remained primitive and backward.I often sigh: "Although this place is backward, the folk customs are very simple. Why have we developed but lost this simplicity?"

Many people sighed deeply.

What's more, a tendency of "anti-civilizationism" was even born.

In the previous life, Fang Tian was also confused here, but now.But it has made sense.

Being in the turbid spring, looking at the clear spring, I feel it is a kind of beauty, but I don't see it, although the turbid spring is turbid.But it started to explore, to evolve, to walk on the road to the sea.

The vastness and breadth of its prospects, the depth and immeasurability, are by no means comparable to the so-called clear springs.

Therefore, no matter how clear the spring water in the mountain is, for the sake of the future, we still have to go out of the mountain.

Otherwise eventually.After all, it will become stagnant water that has lost any vitality.

This is true of the society of groups, and so is the life of individuals.

The same is true of practice rooted in life, of course.

It can even be said that the "quietness" in practice is just the beginning, and the "insight into the world and understanding of human feelings" is the beginning.

Therefore, the 81 chapters of "Laozi" are called "Tao Te Ching" by later generations.

Tao is the practice of the individual.

Virtue is the connection and grafting of the individual and the group.

Even if you don't talk about these serious things, talk about your imagination.You are detached from the world, you are quiet and quiet, and you have great powers.Your life is the same as heaven and earth.But if you are the only one in the world, at any time, all you can face is the eternal sun, moon, stars, desolation and loneliness.

What's the point of such existence?

So throw yourself into the world and seek detachment from the world.Seeking development in the mundane world is the right path and the end of practice.

In short, just one sentence - if you are away from the world, you don't need to talk about practice.

Because no matter how you practice.What can be harvested is just a pale life.

Cultivation is for the service of life, and life is to be manifested in the complicated world. If you don’t even understand this, the so-called practice, in the end, is nothing more than a section of grass, trees, bamboos and stones in the mountains. Under the erosion of time, it returns to the earth.

That's what Fang Tian doesn't want.

So at this time, he is the city lord.

The imperial appointment can be said to have come at the right time.But even without this appointment, after becoming a mage, he would still find a way to experience the ups and downs in the world.

Since the purpose is clear, there can be thousands of means to suit the purpose.

Being the lord of a city is just one of them.

Because he didn't take Xiao Qiqi and others out to play, Fang Tian's time this day was considered free.

So after the morning meeting with the congratulatory guests from the five cities, the meeting with Owen and others originally scheduled for the evening took place in the afternoon.

Time, afternoon.

The location is in the side courtyard of Fenglin, in the martial arts training ground.

Characters, all the main mercenaries in Fenglin, Grote and the three elders of Nanjin, and Fang Tian.

Man is tripartite, yet divided into two parts.

Fang Tian stood with his hands down, silently looking at the group of people opposite him.

And the people on the opposite side, whether it's Grote or Nanjin Sanlao, whether it's Owen Anderson or Frank Shouhou, are all standing there with their hands down, just like Fang Tian.

After the training camp, a completely different atmosphere appeared to them.

If he had followed their training every day before, Fang Tian's feelings would not have been as great as they are now, as the so-called staying in Zhilan's room for a long time, he would not feel the fragrance.But because of an unexpected retreat, it was 43 days later when I came out again.

So at this time, in Fang Tian's view, the changes in Owen and the others are great.

In Fang Tian's eyes before, Fenglin and others, except for Owen Anderson and a few others, were mostly undisciplined. They were not so much warriors as ordinary people who knew martial arts.

The focus of their lives is not on cultivation, nor even on mercenary missions.

Where is it?

Nowhere.

It can only be said that this is just a group of guys who are just eating and waiting to die, with no pursuit and no goal. ——Because relying on their groups and martial arts, it is barely enough to live a life.

So live like that.

That state can last for a year, ten years, 100 years, 1000 years, or even 1 years without any change.

Fang Tian has no doubt that if there is no major change in the outside world, then their lifestyle and mental state will continue like that.Continue until the end of time.Fang Tian even guessed that maybe ten out of ten people at the bottom of this world are in such a state. ——

Because the way to ascend is not obvious, and because the basic survival can barely be guaranteed, so he has been living in a daze.

Otherwise, what else can you do?

In pursuit of power?

All power is concentrated in the hands of middle and high-level practitioners and aristocratic families.As ordinary people, there is no qualification for pursuit at all.

In pursuit of wealth?

That's even more ridiculous. If you don't have even a little bit of power, then even a little bit more wealth is a disaster rather than a blessing.In such a situation.The pursuit of wealth is not the pursuit of a better life, but self-destruction.

In pursuit of knowledge?

Is the word penetration rate in this world [-]%?

Thinking of this, Fang Tian sighed in his heart.

It was also at this time that he realized that what he brought to Owen Anderson and others was not only the possibility of further advancement in martial arts.And there are more life changes.With this in mind, there is no need to say some things that I originally wanted to say.

The next moment, Fang Tian took out the letter of appointment from the empire from the well and passed it on to Owen.

Owen was puzzled but took it cautiously, looked down, and was shocked first, then overjoyed.

"Little brother, you...you are already the city lord?" Owen raised his head and said loudly with difficulty concealing his excitement.

"Yes. A few days ago, after I was promoted to mage, the empire appointed me as the city lord of this land of thousands of miles." Fang Tian said lightly.

It was only then that other people knew what happened.

So there was a big uproar when all the people waited.

Fang Tian can take this appointment lightly.But everyone else, even Grote and Nan Jin's elders, could not be indifferent in the slightest.

A city lord, a city lord appointed by the empire, a city destined to develop into a large city under the rule of the empire.There are too many things that can be decided and influenced. For a while, everyone can't even believe it.

"Little brother, we don't have to sell cheap goods to those damn dealers anymore?"

After a long while, there was an uproar among whispers, but a brother of Fenglin said so.

Also, for them, this may be the biggest resentment in their hearts, so the first thing they think of is this aspect.

Fang Tian smiled and nodded.

After coming to this world, Fang Tian already knew a lot in such a short time, and he was very fortunate that when he first came here, he didn't make wine or anything.

In this world, it can be said that almost all commercial activities are governed by the empire and require management rights.

The management of management rights is mostly arranged by the local imperial city.

This also means that without an appointment from the city, it is illegal to make wine and sell it, or even just transport the goods to the city for sale.

In this world, it is illegal and dangerous.

With Fang Tian's nod, everyone in Fenglin cheered uncontrollably.If you can handle those goods by yourself, then even if it is the same harvest as before, its income can directly increase several times, even if it is less than ten times, there are five, six, seven or eight times.

Sharjah, who was sitting in the bamboo forest far outside the town, just shook his head when he saw this situation.

Xiaoyou is the city lord, these guys only think of this, this is really... really...

Sharjah didn't know the term "a bright pearl casts a dark shadow", but such a thought floated in his mind.In fact, as the lord of a city, what can be decided is not only these?

Don't they know that everything in a radius of thousands of miles must be ruled by the lord of a city?

Sharjah thought so, but he was a bit demanding of Fenglin and the others.

As a group that originally lived at the bottom, even Owen, who is the leader, is just like all the brothers in the group, always living in the small town.Not to mention the various aspects of the empire-controlled city, it is all aspects of a small city, how can people like them know?

Among them, only those who have reached a certain level know.

Just like in Fang Tian's previous life in ancient times, the world was devastated and the people had no food to eat. Emperor Hui of Jin said, "Why don't you eat minced meat?"

As an emperor, his words are natural.But they don't know that under it, resources and information are so poor that they have nothing.

In fact, not to mention Fenglin and the others, even Fang Tian, ​​who has been appointed as the city lord, how much does he know about his identity?Not too many, to be sure.

This night, Fenglin Daqing.

Bonfires and barbecues adorn the entire night.But Fenglin and the others, including Owen Anderson and others, were all drunk.

Of course, in terms of alcohol in this world, their intoxication is more of a psychological intoxication, closer to intoxication and intoxication. It is impossible to say that alcohol poisoning and intoxication are like mud.

After the party, Fang Tian's fourth round of Kaspersky announced the start.
