Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Chinese Empire
Shendu, just like its name, has countless myths and legends, legend has it that in the ancient mythological era of the flood and famine, there have been countless gods here! Shendu is located in the belly of Donghua, the central and western part of the Chinese Empire, and is the capital of China!
In the west of the Shendu, Haocheng, the ancient dust is walking on the ancient and neat street, the folk customs are simple, the masters are everywhere, and the street is endless.
Juxian Lou is a luxury restaurant in the city, and those who can enter it are not some famous families of the Chinese Empire, dignitaries!
"Brother Gu, you see, this restaurant is so magnificent, why don't we go and sit down too?" Xue Wu pleaded.
"Okay, as you wish!" Gu Chen also wanted to see what the difference between this restaurant and the fact that it dared to be named after Juxian.
"Wait, please report your name. Outside the restaurant, two doormen blocked the entrance.
"We are from the Southern Wilderness, do we have to register our names when we go to eat in this restaurant?" Xue Wu said dissatisfiedly.
"It's not, it's just that the consumption here is very high, and the price is not affordable for ordinary people!" When he learned that the two were from the Southern Wilderness, the doorman flashed a trace of disdain, but then hid it again.
"Oh, no matter how expensive your consumption is, we're going to make a decision!" Gu Chen said coldly.
"That's not difficult, just the two of you need to take out a spirit stone first to enter. The doorman said.
"Spirit Stones, are you using Spirit Stones to consume here?" asked Xue Wu suspiciously.
"Two doormen, I don't have a spirit stone, but I'll use the long sword in my hand to mortgage it first!" Gu Chen then replied.
"Hmph! Don't say that you are an iron sword, even if it is a golden sword, it can't withstand a spirit stone, if you want to find trouble, you can go elsewhere, this is not a place where you mortals can spread wild!" The doorman saw the pitch-black iron ruler in Gu Chen's hand, and felt teased, and there was anger in his words.
"You say I'm an iron sword?" After Gu Chen finished speaking, he slashed at the guard's head, and the doorman hurriedly raised the big knife in his hand to block it.
"Bang!" There was a crisp sound, and the guard's big knife was directly broken in two!
He looked at the iron ruler in Gu Chen's hand in disbelief, although the big knife in his hand was not a spiritual weapon, it had also been blessed by a Dao realm powerhouse, and it was barely a pseudo-spiritual weapon!
"Come on...... Come on, someone has gathered in the immortal building to make trouble!" the doorman shouted in horror.
"Gather immortals, don't spread wild!" "In just a few breaths, more than a dozen figures rushed in, and they surrounded Gu Chen and Xue Wu.
"Fellow Daoist, this is Juxian Tower, I hope you will come with us!" The guard at the head was a pseudo-Dao realm powerhouse, and he couldn't see the cultivation of the two of them clearly, so he didn't dare to move without permission, so he had to ask them to meet the person in charge to make a decision.
"Hey, is this your way of doing business!" Snow Dance was furious.
"You have to be unreasonable to the guests! all stand back!" was a majestic woman's voice came, and then I saw a woman coming, the guards all retreated behind her, Gu Chen looked over, only to see her graceful figure, snow-white skin, beautiful face, tall twin peaks trembling with the footsteps, around the concentration like Gu Chen, all couldn't help but feel a trace of heartbeat!
"Two Taoist friends came from afar to patronize my Juxian Building, it is really my luck to gather Xianlou, it is appropriate for us to be unreasonable, the little woman apologizes to you here. The woman's voice ecstasy, as if it could arouse the soul of a man.
"It's pretty much the same, Big Brother Gu, let's go, let's go inside. Xue Wu's voice woke Gu Chen up from his daze, he withdrew his gaze and smiled at the woman, and said:
"It's not ours that the right talent is also ours, and the weapons of the guards of your mansion should not be broken, and they can be counted together after the checkout. ”
"That friend is really bold, please inside. The woman smiled, and smiled even more charmingly!
The woman obviously practiced some kind of charming, otherwise Gu Chen had already transcended the mortal realm, how could she still be tempted by her?
The two of them entered the building and sat down in a private room, and when Xiao Er sent the menu, Gu Chen was also startled!
There are two ways to obtain spirit stones, one is to use a powerful distance from the spirit formation to gather spiritual energy and compress it into a block, and the other is the natural formation of heaven and earth for artificial mining.
"Millennial Spirit Scale, Snow Ginseng Jiao Bone Soup, Northern Regions Black Bear Paw, Enlightenment Tea ......" Xue Wu said the name of the dish, and Gu Chen was also surprised, these are not rare things in heaven and earth, they have long surpassed the value of ordinary gold and silver! It is no wonder that the doorman will prevent the two from entering.
Xue Wu ordered a few dishes, and Gu Chen asked for a pot of drunken immortals, which is a kind of wine made with fire extract fruit as the main ingredient and various precious medicinal materials, which contains a trace of aura, and the entrance is mellow, which is really not something that mortals can enjoy!
"The wine is the most fragrant, drunk and fragrant, drunk and taste the fragrance in the wine!" was a red-nosed old man, he staggered, came to Gu Chen's table, sniffed the aroma of wine wafting from Gu Chen's table, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said:
"Xiaoyou, I see that your bones are amazing, and you have a relationship with me, I don't know if you want to worship the old man as a teacher!"
"Oh, old man, we don't apprentice, you have found the wrong person to accept apprentices. Snow Dance refused.
"The old man is a master of the pseudo-Dao realm, invincible in the mortal realm! If you worship me as a teacher, you will definitely not be under the grandmaster if you achieve success in the future!"
"Old man, if you drink, come here, don't be deceived here. Gu Chen smiled.
"Boy, you know me, come, cheers!" As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the red-nosed old man was already sitting on the table and pouring wine and drinking himself!
The drunken fairy man, as the name suggests, contains a trace of aura, but it is extremely strong, the red-nosed old man is very greedy for wine, his face is red when he drinks, and after dripping the last drop of wine from the wine jug into his mouth, he burped, his tongue was big, and his speech was slurred:
"I ...... I said boy, you ...... For your wine's sake, you ...... If, if you don't want to give up your future prospects, you will be given another opportunity to apprentice, and if you miss it, it will be a lifetime!"
"Old man, my elder brother Gu will not worship you as a teacher! Don't be delusional!" Xue Wu looked disgusted, he hated this old man very much.
"That's it, that's it, that's it......" The old man shook his head for a while, and then lay down on the table and fell asleep.
Gu Chen called Xiao Er to settle the bill, and a table of wine and food turned out to be thirty spirit stones!
Xue Wu proposed to replace it with spiritual liquid, because the law was complicated, but it alarmed the shopkeeper, after checking that the spiritual liquid was pure, for the top grade, a drop of spiritual liquid replaced ten spirit stones, Xue Wu handed over a bottle of spiritual liquid, and let the shopkeeper divide it by himself, but saw a guard running over, whispered a few words in the shopkeeper's ear and left.
"Two Taoist friends, my young lady said that your wine and food are free, but my young lady is invited on the eighth floor, and I hope that the two of you must appreciate your face. ”
"Your young lady?" Gu Chen wondered.
"Oh, it's the girl at the door who apologized for the two of you. The shopkeeper said.
"Well, lead the way, then. "Gu Chendao.
"Vixen, do you have bad intentions?" Xue Wu muttered as she followed, resentful of Gu Chen's obsession with women.
Gu Chen was taken to the eighth floor by the shopkeeper, there were already more than a dozen guests inside, all young men and women, led by the beautiful woman, seeing Gu Chen and Xue Wu coming, she introduced herself:
"Two Taoist friends, the little girl is Luo Xueying, the daughter of the Luo family, and more two Taoist friends appreciate their faces to join my invitation. ”
"My name is Gu Chen, this is my sister-in-law Xue Wu, and it is a blessing to be invited by Miss Luo. Gu Chen said politely.
Luo Xueying invited the two of them to take a seat, and then said:
"Today's banquet invites all the cultivators to come to the eighth floor of the Juxian Building to enlighten the Tao, to understand the enlightenment experience of the ancients, and everyone communicates with each other, tastes tea and discusses the Tao. ”
"Come on, serve tea!" Luo Xueying called a group of servants to serve tea to everyone seated.
"This is my family's enlightenment tea! As soon as these words came out, Gu Chen was shocked, although this tea is not a spiritual liquid or spiritual stone that replenishes true qi, but it is a spiritual tea that helps people realize the Tao! Drinking this tea often can clear the mind, understand the Tao, and change the qualifications of cultivators, which is a good tea of great value!
Everyone tasted tea, all nodded in appreciation, Gu Chen stared at the handwriting on a big pillar into a daze! It was a few ancient characters, which were not only the essence of the Tao, but also the original Taoist meaning left by the ancients, and they needed to use their divine sense to perceive the breath.
"Zirong really uses the three spring shows, and the changes follow the wind overnight. "This is the Dao mark left here by the Qiu Changchun Daoist in the past, Luo Xueying said.
Gu Chen nodded, he looked around, there were Dao marks on the pillars! At this time, the young people sitting had already gotten up, looking at some Dao marks on the pillars around him and sighing.
"The heart is at ease, and the body is at ease. The mind and body are at peace, and nothing can be related. ”
"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. ”
"Dao Ke Dao, very Dao ......"
All the people present have transcended the mortal realm, achieved the quasi-path realm, and all comprehended the mysteries of the ancient people's Taoist heart, so as to complete their own way.
An hour has passed, and everyone has their own harvest, Luo Xueying said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the way of the ancients?"
"The way of the ancients is too mystical for us to misunderstand!" replied.
"Otherwise, it's not that the way of the ancients is too mysterious, but that the times are different and the systems are different!"
"Reasonable, reasonable! The contemporary continent has entered the Tao with martial arts, and each has entered the Tao, and there has long been a big gap with the ancients, and we look at the mysteries of the way of the ancients, and the ancients are also confused when they look at the way of us. Someone else agreed.
"This fellow Gu Chen Daoist, can you also tell us about your perception of it?" Luo Xueying looked at the silent Gu Chen Dao.
The people present are all the pride of the sky, the leaders of the times, what they do, their own temperament, and their understanding of the Tao is naturally extraordinary.
"The way of the predecessors can only be used for reference, and the way of the contemporary is to seek the limit of martial arts, win Cangyu, martial arts Cangyu!"
"This fellow Daoist, so courageous!" There were already people in the audience who looked at Gu Chen with admiration.
"That's right, the world has changed dramatically, the aura is strong, a new era is coming, it will definitely change a lot of eternal numbers, our world is extraordinary, and naturally the ancients are not the same. Someone nodded in agreement.
"It is true that the times are different, the unknown is unpredictable, in the near future, what will become of this world, we have no way of knowing, but only seek martial arts Cangyu, let us break the law by ourselves and achieve ourselves!"
Luo Xueying nodded in agreement, and said to Xue Wu:
"This Snow Dancing Girl, can you tell me about it too?"
"The little girl is young, she has never studied the Tao deeply, my lord is a medicine doctor, I am a healer, and I just ask for my life with the sky!"
"Okay, what a good one to ask for your life with the sky! The way of the healer has been the greatest since ancient times, just like the ancestor of the Shennong clan who tasted all the herbs in the mythological era. "The way of a doctor to save the patient is destined to be respected, Luo Xueying praised and said:
"If the Snow Dancing Girl doesn't dislike it, I'm willing to make you a friend. ”
"It's the first time I've come to the Huaxia Empire, and I can't really ask for a friend like Sister Xiangluo!" Xue Wu nodded in agreement and replied politely.
Xue Wusheng is a healer, she has been inherited by Hua Hong, knows how to refine elixir, and will be respected wherever she goes, which also makes Gu Chen feel a lot more at ease with her.
