147, it's time to eat

Bi Xuecheng, who had the most words, was the first to reply: "If Master didn't ask, I would have wanted to talk about it for the past few days." These days, I feel lightweight, energetic, always inexhaustible, always trying to find something to do, well, like a sense of restlessness in the heart......"

Ye Yanxing, who usually has the least words and the most out-of-the-box thinking, interjected coldly: "Isn't it the restlessness of the body?"

Bi Xuecheng: "The body is the heart, the heart is the body, I haven't finished speaking, don't interrupt first...... Where did I just go?"

Dingzi: "Restlessness. ”

Bi Xuecheng: "Yes, it's a sense of restlessness, mainly the restlessness of the soul and the restlessness of the soul! I always feel that the world is different, and I can't tell whether it is real or unreal, and I always feel that I should do something or discover something." Master let us walk in the dark every night to practice, and I regained my peace and settled down. ”

Ye Yanxing continued: "Darkness makes people quiet, and your heart must be uncertain, you must stay sober, you must be calm, and you must believe in judgment, otherwise you will hit a tree or fall into a ditch." ”

Meng Huiyu spoke: "I also have the feeling you said, and the dark cultivation here has allowed me to overcome many obstacles...... It is mainly because of the presence of the Master that our hearts can be so determined, to find and maintain this state. ”

Ding Qi: "This is how I felt at the beginning, from the body to the mind, your physique has a foundation, and the cultivation in the past few days is mainly about the breakthrough of the mind. Firm and confident, but also calm and sober, in order to condense a clear Yuan Shen sense of external objects, this is the essence of cultivating the secret method outside the square. ”

As they spoke, a little light could already be seen in the distance, it was the fire lit at the entrance of the main shrine of Dongda Camp, and they walked back again. They left at about half past eight in the evening and returned before eleven o'clock, without delaying their sleep.

Because of the delay in the mountain for nearly a month, all kinds of electronic products they carried, including mobile phones and flashlights, were out of power, and only two things were still usable, the windproof lighter and Meng Huiyu's electronic watch. Windproof lighters also have batteries, while the coin cell batteries of electronic watches last a long time.

In fact, the dark conversation itself proved that the three disciples had broken through the hidden realm. I remember that when he came out on the first night, Ding Qi stopped and suddenly said a word, but Meng Huiyu almost hit him, and Bi Xuecheng tripped Ye Yanxing.

But tonight in the darkness they were able to talk freely, without any disturbance, and it felt so natural that they didn't even realize it, and they had unconsciously crossed the invisible threshold. Bi Xuecheng's feelings are very accurate, they have indeed overcome something, and their minds have been tested.

This harvest alone made this trip to the high platform not in vain, and they could remember what happened here after they went out.

During this time, they had already finished reading the three designated classics, and Ding Qi picked out some other classics in the shrine collection for the three disciples to study, especially the "Book of Medicine" written by Tao Xin to Ye Yanxing. Ye Yanxing is not a medical student, many places can't be understood, and there are more places that are plausible.

But Ding Qi did not allow him to fully understand it now, mainly by memorization, and had to prepare pen and paper to transcribe this text, and even its illustrations had to be traced as they were. The name of Tao Xin's medical book is "Medical Book", but it is simple and direct, and Ding Qi himself is also reading this classic and is also transcribing.

Why do you want to do this? None of the original things in the outside world can be taken away, and even if you use pen, ink and paper here to copy another copy, you can't take it out either. But this process of transcription can deepen the memory, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, Ding Qi is equivalent to imprinting this medical book in his heart.

The Great City of Heaven is the first day of each month, but in fact, there are almost four days before and after. During the day on May 30, the people of the villages rushed to the main shrine, which was equivalent to a small market. On the night after the small market, the 100 young men selected by the East Daying stayed in the main shrine. Eight children from elementary school went home for the holidays, but seven children from college stayed.

The relevant people gathered in advance, prepared all the goods that needed to be carried, and set off after breakfast on May 31. Ding Qi asked Xiao Bozhi to select 100 young people, but in fact, there were 111 people in this team, because there were still four heavenly brothers and seven "college students".

In the "university" education of the Kingdom of Heaven, there is a "compulsory course", and every child has to participate in the big market at least once, and they have to follow the team to go through it by themselves, which is what they have to do when they become adults, and they have to accumulate experience in advance. Sima Hu Xiaoyu stayed to watch the family, and Marshal Xiao Bozhi and military advisor Chen Rong led the team, and the two of them also counted themselves among the young and strong.

The cattle of the East Battalion were gathered, and a total of ten carts pulled by two elks were prepared, and nine of the carts were loaded with goods from the public treasury, and each cart was cared for by three people. These goods are to be exchanged with the other four major battalions, and every time there is a big market, the five major battalions will discuss the goods and quantities to be exchanged in the next big market, and prepare in advance.

Almost everyone who did not need to take care of the vehicles carried something, which was the personal goods of each family, to be transported to the market for sale, and then to buy the specialties of other large camps and carried them back. It's a weight-bearing hike. The seven schoolchildren did not carry any goods, but only carried their own drinking water and dry food, and accompanied the large army.

Xiao Bozhi also asked Ding Qi and the other four heavenly brothers in advance if they wanted to take a sedan chair and let people carry them over? Of course, Ding Qi rejected this proposal, and he walked between the convoy and the walking socialists carrying the goods with a stick, and also asked the three disciples to carry their backpacks, and they also held jujube wood sticks in their hands.

Less than two miles west from the main shrine of Dongdaying, you will enter the mountains, the undulating hills are getting higher and higher, and the mountains with peaks and ravines in front of you are stretched. The road is winding but not too rugged and steep. Generations of people have opened a road in the mountain, and the route is relatively gentle, even if you have to turn around a long way, you must ensure that the elk-pulled car can pass smoothly.

The road is not a dirt road, a bit like a cinder road outside, but of course there are no cinders here, and if you look closely, the paving is broken bricks and crushed pottery, mixed with a small amount of gravel.

No matter how durable the bricks are and how carefully the pottery is preserved, there are times when they are damaged, and the broken bricks and pottery shards will be broken into finer particles and then transported to the mountains to pave the road. Such a road surface can be walked when the rain is not heavy, and it is not muddy, especially to ensure the passage of vehicles, which has been well paved after thousands of years.

Nine cars were loaded with goods from the public treasury, and one car was loaded with small pieces of scrap bricks and pottery, with some rubble added. If the road surface has potholes or is damaged by rainwater, fill them up as you pass by.

In addition to the main road and small roads, the small roads are basically shortcuts, avoid turning and turning over the mountain and plug directly into the front, messengers often like to take this kind of road, which can save time, and they do not need to carry goods or take care of vehicles.

There are mountains between the east camp and the west camp, and there are no fierce beasts such as mountain biao in this area, but there are also night dragons inhabiting the caves, so it is very unsafe at night, and you must pass through it during the day.

They set out about eight o'clock in the morning, stopped at about one o'clock in the afternoon to have a bite to eat, rested for about half an hour, and walked out of the mountains at about three o'clock in the afternoon.

Ding Qi silently calculated in his heart, this mountain road is about twenty-five miles, and many people are still burdened in the mountains, this speed is not slow, and the physical strength and endurance of the young people here are very good. After walking out of the mountains and coming to the plains, we walked about three kilometers and arrived at the Dayei East Shrine.

There are a total of five village communities in the main camp, and in addition to the main one, the other four village communities are built on the road leading to the other four camps. Each of these four villages has built a large courtyard that can accommodate 100 people, which is used for temporary rest for people from other villages.

The group rested here at about four o'clock in the afternoon. The date of the big market is tomorrow, and the goods will be transported directly to the main house of the big camp early tomorrow morning, and then return to the east house in the evening to rest, and then return to the east day on May 2, so it will take a total of four days before and after each big market.

Ding Qi and the others did not stay in this village community, and continued to rush to the main house of the camp while it was still dark, and Marshal Xiao Bozhi also accompanied them. There were still about four kilometers from the East Shrine to the main shrine of the main camp, and this section of the road was very fast, and when they arrived at the main camp, they found that many people were waiting at the door with their necks stretched. but did not kneel and prostrate.

The greeters saw them from a distance and came to salute, and Xiao Bozhi hurriedly introduced Ding Qi and the others. Feng Guoxin, the original god of the big battalion, Wang Hongling, and Sima Tian Xiaoli of the military division were all there, accompanied by Fan Shaoqing, the marshal of the North Daying, Gan Yang, the marshal of the West Daying, and Yuan Ting, the marshal of the South Daying. Yuan Ting is a beautiful marshal who was just promoted by Zhu Shanxian.

After everyone had seen the four Heavenly Brothers, Xiao Bozhi asked, "Why are you all here, what about the other Heavenly Brothers?"

Feng Guoxin: "The other six Heavenly Brothers have already arrived and are waiting at the shrine. Brother Zhuang Tian also specially instructed that the meal should be opened only after the four Heavenly Brothers from the East Camp arrived......"

As he spoke, Feng Guoxin sighed in his heart, the original plan to provoke the nine heavenly brothers to fight among them may not be realized, looking at this posture, these people are already in a group. At present, it seems that the nine Heavenly Brothers have no ambitions, but it may not be exposed yet.

Xiao Bozhi didn't think about it so much, and when he heard this, he said, "Then I also want to go and meet those six heavenly brothers, I haven't met yet!"

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and the smoke of every house was rising, and many people heard the movement and walked out of the house, kneeling and prostrating on both sides of the road. Feng Guoxin was secretly worried when he saw this scene, but he didn't dare to show it. Ding Qi opened his mouth and said: "There is no need to bow down in the future, since all the world are brothers, the heavenly brothers should also be equal." ”

Xiao Bozhi explained on the side: "They are all seeing you four heavenly brothers for the first time, and they should also kowtow, if it is not necessary in the future, it does not always have to be like this, it is really inconvenient." ”

When he came to the shrine and entered the front yard, Zhuang Mengzhou was standing outside the hall door smoking, and when he saw them, he greeted them and said, "Oh, you are finally here! I heard that the road to Dongdaying is the closest, but you are the latest...... I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it so much!"

Meng Huiyu explained to the master on the side: "We are walking with the large army, and a few of us are walking slowly, dragging the master's hind legs...... Uncle Zhuang, do you look very chic in this dress?"

Zhuang Mengzhou did not wear the clothes he brought, but changed into a local style silk caftan . Then I heard Shang Ni's voice and said: "Mr. Zhuang didn't bring much change of clothes, what do you guess he stuffed in his backpack? There are actually ten cigarettes, which occupy half of the place, and I don't know what to think!"

Hearing the movement, Zhu Shanxian and the others had already walked out. Zhuang Mengzhou turned around and said: "This shows that I am far-sighted, where can I buy cigarettes in this place?" I also brought a few more lighters!"

Zhu Shanxin quipped: "Mr. Zhuang, you are violating the rules." Cigarettes are monopoly materials, and they should be transported privately or mailed across regions, and no more than two cigarettes should be sent at a time!"

These words amused everyone, and everyone laughed happily, although they hadn't seen each other for a month, they didn't feel unfamiliar, and they were very harmonious and natural, as if they were still together this morning. Zhu Shanxian and Tan Hanchuan both walked over to give Ding Qi a hug, and then patted the shoulders of the three juniors.

Xian Hao didn't hug Ding Qi, but smacked his fist on his chest and whispered, "I heard that you have been walking in the mountains for more than a month, and you haven't been sick, right?"

Ding Qi: "I'm in good health!"

Xian Hao: "You brought the three of them out safely, and I was relieved when I heard the news." ”

Ding Qi: "I heard your news, but I was shocked, there are some things I want to talk to you about privately." ”

Xian Hao: "Wait until you're done, either I'll go to you, or you'll ......"

Ding Qi: "Return me to your room." ”

Nine rooms have been prepared here for the nine Heavenly Brothers to live in. Zhu Shan beckoned: "Let's all come into the house and sit down, if you have something to whisper, I'll talk about it later, it's time to eat." ”

And they all went into the house and sat down. This is a long square table, with Zhuang Mengzhou sitting at the head, Zhu Shanxian, Shang Ni, and Meng Huiyu on the left, Tan Hanchuan, Ding Qi and Xian Hao on the right, and Bi Xuecheng and Ye Yanxing sitting opposite Zhuang Mengzhou. The meal was soon ready, but the five marshals of the battalion had not left yet, Zhuang Mengzhou beckoned: "Five marshals, do you want to set up a table again?

Feng Guoxin bowed down and said: "Congratulations to all the heavenly brothers on finally getting together! I just want to ask for instructions, what are the arrangements for the big market tomorrow? Do you want to organize the people of the major battalions to visit, whether you want to set up a high platform, and how to arrange the seats?"

Zhuang Mengzhou smiled, stood up with his hands on the table, and said, "Marshal Feng, I know what you're thinking." Today we are all here, and the marshals of the other major battalions are also here, so we might as well say something.

Have you been worried that we will stir up internal strife in the heavens, and now you are worried that we are a gang that will conspire to control the whole kingdom of heaven and become high gods?

Truth be told, we're actually here to take a look. Or to put it another way, the people here regard me as Brother Tian, so this time Brother Tian is coming to inspect whether the Kingdom of Heaven abides by the rules of heaven set by Tao Xin back then?

If there is nothing to do here, we will do nothing. If there is chaos here again, try to restore peace and tranquility here. But now it seems that we don't need to do anything more, even if it is a small matter, Brother Xian Tian and Brother Zhu Tian have also dealt with it easily...... Actually, even if we didn't come, you could handle it yourself. ”

After speaking, he sat down, which made Feng Guoxin red-faced. Ding Qi was also a little surprised, Zhuang Mengzhou was really unexpected, and he actually shook out everything directly...... It's okay this way, no one has to do those careful thoughts in secret, so as to save awkwardness.

The marshals of the other four battalions were even more surprised, Gan Yang glared at Feng Guoxin and said, "Xiao Feng, what do you mean by this? Listening to Brother Zhuang Tian's words, you seem to have other ideas......

Feng Guoxin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Misunderstanding, it's a complete misunderstanding, I was just a little worried before, there has been no Heavenly Brother in Heaven for three thousand years, and now I'm afraid that the hospitality will not be good......"

Zhu Shanxian also spoke: "I won't stay here for a long time, and I am very relieved to see the peaceful and peaceful scene of Heaven this time." Since they come from outside the sky, they will return to the outside of heaven after a while. ”

Bi Xuecheng interjected: "When are we going back?"

Zhuang Mengzhou glanced at him: "Ask your master." ”

Shang Ni smiled and said, "I think the time should be almost up when the cigarettes brought by Mr. Zhuang are almost finished, otherwise there is really no place to buy them." ”

Meng Hui asked kindly, "How many cigarettes does Uncle Zhuang smoke a day?"

Shanny: "At the beginning, it was one box a day, but I was afraid that it would not be enough for the past two days, so I saved half a box a day." ”

Ye Yanxing muttered, "That's a lot." ”

Ding Qi glanced at the three disciples and said, "Don't interrupt, let's talk about serious things, why are you smoking again?" Then he also stood up and said, "Lord Marshal, after we came here, Senior Brother Tan picked the Zhuyan Fruit and prepared the soup bath prescription according to the medical records of the Tao Xin Sage, just to wash away the epidemic gas of the foreign country, so that the people here would not be able to bear the breath of the world that we carried.

This has to be done, but I would like to ask Marshal Feng, did Brother Tan Tian order the local people to collect the Zhuyan Fruit for us, and only for their own enjoyment? Or use the Zhuyan Fruit as bait to make everyone bow down to their orders? For this reason alone, I think you should understand our intention. ”
