Strange mountains and rivers

"Brother Chen, would you like a piece?"

A young man with a round face and a slightly plump face came from the side hall opposite. His small eyes showed a bit of shrewdness. He smiled and raised a large roll of jade and wheat cakes in his hand.

The bun is neatly combed and smoothly, with a wooden hairpin inserted horizontally in the bun. He wears a gray shirt, a wooden pendant around his waist, white cloth leggings on his feet, and a pair of multi-eared hemp shoes.

It can be seen that although this person may have an average family background, he pays great attention to details.

Chen Huaisheng suddenly found that his memory suddenly improved a lot.

I worked too hard in my previous life, and my memory is not very good as I age.

Like last night, people with numbers 7 and 8 introduced themselves by name all at once. This would definitely not work if the name and face matched the number.

But now I can clearly recall the other person's self-introduction at that time.

Huozhou Wei Wuyang, Chen Huaisheng had an impression.

After the Taoist Ming Dynasty, they were basically unable to eat the rice, wheat, and millet that ordinary mortals eat every day. They could only eat crop seeds rich in aura such as jade, wheat, Jiahe, and spiritual rice produced in the spiritual field.

Eating common people's food will only increase the turbidity in the body, which is not conducive to spiritual practice. Even if it is eaten for a long time, it will degrade the body's functions and eventually degenerate into a common person.

"Brother Wei, I've already had breakfast." Chen Huaisheng smiled and patted his belly, "The morning meal is full of dew, so it's better to eat less."

The little fat man also laughed and squinted his eyes so hard that he couldn't see. "I can't do it. I haven't entered the Tao yet. I can't help my appetite. Most of my package is filled with cooking cakes and naan cakes."

Chen Huaisheng is also willing to make more friends with these people.

There are many sect disciples, many friends and many paths, who knows what will happen to them in the future, there is no harm in getting acquainted, and the benefits are free of charge.

"Are you ready to go?" Chen Huaisheng asked in surprise, seeing the little fat man carrying his baggage on his back.

"Not yet, we have to wait a moment. Master Yu wants to explore the surroundings to see if there is anything going on. Brother Chen is from here. This should be considered deep in Yushan Mountain, right?"

The little fat man is also very talkative. "It feels like I have traveled at least three to four hundred miles from my hometown of Huozhou."

Huozhou Mansion is located to the east of Yiyang Mansion. In my impression, it is about the same size as Yiyang Mansion.

"Basically, there are two points of land and eight points of mountains in Liao County. If you go west and north, it will basically become mountains in Liao County."

Chen Huaisheng nodded and asked curiously: "I feel that you are all very vigilant. I see that Master Yu not only set up a magic circle to guard the night, but also set up a special police post. Is it because of the monster I mentioned?"

There was a mysterious look on the little fat man's face, "Not exactly, it seems that the Taoist master said that it doesn't seem very quiet here, so be careful. I heard that it was very simple to pick up disciples in the past, just take them and leave, but this time it seems that we They have specially distributed sacred wood talismans. Brother Chen saw them all yesterday. They are used to save lives. If we go to your Dingling Tomb today, we will probably know what is going on."

Not quiet? What can be wrong with tranquility?

Chen Huaisheng was also a little puzzled.

There are six counties in Yiyang Prefecture. Dingling is the seat of the prefecture. It is halfway up the mountains and hills with the three counties of Xiyang and Zhugao, and is in the mountainous area with the three counties of Liao County, Pang County and Anfeng County.

Although it is located in Yushan Mountain, it is still quite far away from the forbidden area in the hinterland of Yushan. I have not heard of any special situation.

For example, Guzhen, where Yuanbaozhai is located, is a pure mountainous area. Except that it is slightly special because it is adjacent to Nanchu, there is nothing else to say.

However, Nanchu and Da Zhao have been living in peace for decades.

The center of Zhao's defense has always been in the west. The south and east are relatively peaceful. Even the people on the border have contacts with each other. Has there been any change after a few years of walking?

Once everything was packed up there, everyone was ready to hit the road.

A Jianbu Talisman was struck on his waist, allowing Chen Huaisheng to once again see the extraordinary features of this large sect.

Originally, because of this mountain walking, ordinary people can only walk ten or twenty miles. Only strong people can do it. For Taoists like them, fifty or sixty miles is not a problem, but seventy or eighty miles is a bit difficult. .

But as soon as the spiritual power of the Jianbu Talisman enters the body, I suddenly feel that the meridians throughout the body are smooth and the spiritual power is flowing.

Although it is a dangerous mountain path, he is as light as a swallow and can walk as fast as flying.

Chen Huaisheng was also shocked.

This kind of Jianbu Talisman is of little use to Yu Xianxian and Xuan Chimei, but it is very useful to people like Chen Huaisheng and Wei Wuyang who have not yet entered Taoism.

By the time it was getting dark, Dingling County, a hundred and sixty miles away, was already in sight.

We have to admit that these large sects have abundant resources and a complete range of categories. They have specialized supply support for weapons, magic weapons, talismans, robes and armor, elixirs, etc.

Everything costs a lot of money, beyond imagination.

For a wealthy couple, the first thing on the list is wealth. If you don't have enough financial resources, you are not worthy of being called a big sect.

With emotion, Chen Huaisheng also followed the group into Dingling City, the administrative center of Yiyang Mansion.

Combining the memories of the two people, Chen Huaisheng's impression of the city where his hometown is located in front of him is somewhat vague.

The family wanted to stay in their place of origin, but the poor family left for other places.

The Chen surname is one of the five major surnames in Yuanbaozhai, but the Chen Huaisheng family is relatively weak.

His parents died young, but his two uncles and one uncle are still around, but they are all laymen, and none of his cousins ​​are from a Taoist background.

My Ming Dao Bone triggered the incomparable excitement in this branch when I was seven years old. Unfortunately, my spiritual root has not yet awakened until I was fourteen years old.

Everyone knows that in this case, the qualifications are relatively poor among Taoists.

But even so, it is still an innate Tao seed after all.

However, the Chen clan has a large number of people and complex branches and vines, and several distant branches have successively produced Dao species.

There are about two to three hundred babies born in Yuanbaozhai every year. Generally speaking, the probability of Taoist seeds appearing is uncertain, ranging from one person to as many as four that year.

But on average, there are one to two people per year, with two people being the most common.

After Chen Huaisheng awakened his spiritual roots at the age of fourteen, he discussed it with his clan members and went out.

He did not even stay in Yiyang Prefecture and Yi County. He first went to Ji County, and then to Qiao County and Sui County to travel and seek Taoism.

But now he's back in despair.

Dingling City is much more lively and prosperous than his hometown of Liao County, and its population is much larger.

Although it can be seen that the life of the lay people outside the city is still hard and poor, but it is still relatively stable, you can also see the cultivation disciples arrogantly walking on the streets in the city.

The group of people went to the gym.

This is a non-governmental organization in the cultivation world in Da Zhao, but it also has some semi-official properties.

All major sects and aristocratic families communicate and coordinate through various Taoist temples, and the hosts of the Taoist temples are mostly local leaders in the monastic circles.

Looking at the exquisite and elegant gate of the Taoist temple, the unique and beautiful archway, and the Taoist temple tower with overhanging eaves and beams, they are even more magnificent and magnificent than the Yamen of the local government, which is enough to illustrate its influence.

Chen Huaisheng gradually began to look at everything around him with the mentality of this world.

To survive better, you must learn to understand the world.

After following a group of people in, Chen Huaisheng felt that something was not right.

The gym was noisy, some people were arguing fiercely about something, and a few others were looking gloomy, nervous, or whispering to each other angrily.

"How many times has this happened? We are still deceiving ourselves and others by hiding our illness and avoiding medical treatment. The next time it will be us!" A man with a red face and a wide mouth roared angrily.

"Last year's incident took a long time to investigate, but it turned out that there was no result. Then there were two cases in a row, but there was still no result and nothing was left. Now this kind of thing happens again. Shouldn't everyone think carefully about how to deal with it?"

"Brother Dao, please be patient. This time we must all come together to discuss a result. It will definitely not be the same as before."

Another monk with a rather celestial spirit and a black robe looked gloomy.

"This time something happened to my junior brother from the Lingyun Sect. Aren't we angry and anxious? But we must have an investigation direction, right?"

"Hmph, just sitting and talking like this, can we find the suspect?"

The broad-mouthed man called Brother Dao spoke in a slightly softer tone, but there was still a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"It's also because this time it fell on you, the Lingyun Sect, that I started to get anxious. In the past few times, you were the most careless and found various excuses to evade..."

Being stabbed in the lungs by the other party, the black-robed monk suddenly lost his guard and his face became ugly.

"Brother Wu, are you deliberately looking for trouble? Isn't it the time for everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties? It's so unfair to say such sarcastic words!"

There were several people around who saw the two arguing and subconsciously looked at the middle-aged monk who had been rubbing his chin in thought.

Brothers, help recommend and promote the following. If you have a book list, add a book list. If there are book friends, please help promote and recommend it.
