Section 37 Lee's Mansion
Shen Tong looked at the back of Li Huanzhang's sword and couldn't help but lose his mind.
Counting the time he spent in this world, it was not a short time, but although he felt a little incredible about the magic of this world when he was in the secret room, what he saw and heard was just a feeling of a blind man touching an elephant. Even after absorbing Li Ping's divine sense, he had some understanding of the magic of this world in his mind, but it was not his intuitive feeling, and that feeling was still a little worse after all. It wasn't until now, until the first day he walked out of the secret room and actually stepped into this world, that he was truly shocked by the wonders of this world. At this moment, what gravity, what Newtonian mechanics, all kinds of physics knowledge are shattered in his mind, after seeing the terrifying firebird with high temperatures, and after seeing Li Huanzhang flying with his own eyes, he suddenly realized that the earth they thought was developing rapidly in science and technology was really a waste world, and compared to here, they were really some waste people!
Looking at the two servants on the ground who were still unconscious, and looking at the exquisite courtyard that had completely quieted down, Shen Tong felt where Li Ping's despair came from.
In such a world where monks can possess amazing magical powers, a low-level monk like him, who is no different from ordinary people, is really no different from ants. The reason why Li Huanzhang nagged so much with him was probably because of Li Ping's father's face! Otherwise, with his cultivation status, with his kind of words, he would be able to silence the prestige of the fifth aunt's family, and where would he say anything like going to the door to ask for his relatives.
As the contemporary head of his Li family, how many people can afford him to come to the door in person to ask for a junior to marry?
Shen Tong's heart couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude, but he was destined to disappoint this uncle, after all, he didn't want to live in the spirit world for a long time, and he only wanted to go to the underworld to find his wife.
Walked into the room and meditated cross-legged on the couch for a while, while breathing his divine sense and mana, he recalled the previous events, and after making sure that there was nothing suspicious in his words and actions, Shen Tong also walked out of the room with a cheerful expression. I don't know when, the two old servants who were unconscious in the courtyard have disappeared, which makes Shen Tong feel a little better when he looks at the surrounding scenery.
Especially when he thought of the fifth aunt's face, he couldn't help but feel a wave of contempt in his heart, and having such relatives in the family was also called bad luck.
Walking out of the small courtyard where he was, he finally saw the scale of the Li Mansion and the grandeur, if the small courtyard he was in was a small world and a quiet residence. The huge courtyard in front of me, this continuous and row-on-row building complex, is a behemoth-like existence. Even from what Shen Tong saw now, I guess that the Forbidden City may not have such a scale, this is really an unimaginable architectural complex.
What's even more peculiar is that with such a large building complex, the fifth aunt actually came to rob a small courtyard where they lived, so it can be imagined that the entire Li family has a large population and a huge family.
But after thinking about it, Shen Tong also figured it out. After all, this is the spiritual world, which is completely different from the human world, and it is already a great blessing to be born in the human world and live in the same house for four generations, and it is a gift from God. And the family of the five generations in the same house is not nothing, but it is definitely a rare existence, and it is extremely rare. However, in the spiritual realm, not to mention the terrible longevity of those monks who often live for hundreds of years or thousands of years, even ordinary people can live for one or two hundred years, so it is common for dozens of generations in the family to live together.
Just like the body where Shen Tong is at this moment, he is also over 80 years old when he calculates his age! If he is in the human world, he is already an old guy who is about to die, but in the spiritual world, he is in the prime of life, and he has not even married, but in the eyes of everyone, it is normal. In this way, the huge population of a monk family is naturally understandable. The three palaces and six courtyards of the royal family and the emperor, how can they be compared with the monks who have a long life.
What appeared in front of me was a spacious and huge courtyard, with vermilion walls and green tiles, layered on top of each other. In the center of the courtyard, several tall trees are luxuriant, and the canopy is like an umbrella, and its quaint canopy makes this courtyard seem more and more peaceful and remote. As for the round arches in the four places, it is connected to the courtyard, the courtyard is self-contained, and the scenery outside the courtyard is quiet, which is really unique. As for the courtyard gates that connect the various places, there are crooked corridors.
The corridor is twisting, sometimes wide, sometimes long, and there are corner pavilions for rest. Outside the promenade, there are bamboos, green plants, bonsai, or lotus ponds, mist and swaying flowers. Its magnificent scenery is completely different from the quiet and elegant of the courtyard, but separated by a shadow arch, it is like being in two worlds. The ingenuity of its design is truly impressive.
Even Shen Tong suddenly thought, if he flew over it and looked at the overall situation, would there be a different kind of scenery? It's just that this kind of thought can only be thought about temporarily, with his current cultivation, even if he stays in the spirit realm, I'm afraid he doesn't know if he can cultivate until the foundation building period in this life.
Looking up into the distance, the far north of the courtyard, the periphery of the entire Dingyuan City, several verdant green mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, half hidden and half visible, the momentum is clear, the steep mountain peak is like an insurmountable barrier, guarding the entire Dingyuan City. There, it is the most important place for their Li family, and it is also the Tianquan Mountain Range where the ancestor of the Li family retreats and cultivates all year round. It is rumored that on the Tianquan Peak, which is the highest and most steep mountain, there is a spiritual spring that constantly spews out the spiritual spring, forming a beautiful waterfall hanging on the peak, the spring water is sweet, it is quite miraculous, after the mortal drinks, all diseases will not be born, and the life will be prolonged. And that's where the name of the mountain comes from.
It's just that Shen Tong can't be the slightest bit interested in these messy rumors in Li Ping's mind. He looked around, and with Li Ping's memory, he walked deeper into the house.
Fortunately, such a large building complex has always retained its original appearance, and Shen Tong will not get lost, otherwise, with his current situation, I am afraid that he will cause trouble.
Along the way, it was rare to see monks walking around, and all the people who walked back and forth in the corridor were some slaves and servants in green clothes, and it was really rare to see people wearing silver and white robes like him. However, he was not surprised by this. For monks with spiritual roots, this world itself is an inexhaustible treasure mountain. As long as you practice seriously, you can maintain the operation of your body by absorbing spiritual energy, and you only need to continue to cultivate to continuously increase your longevity and enhance your skills. In this way, most monks naturally use their time to cultivate, and only those monks who know that they cannot break the bottleneck and are trapped in a certain realm for life will stop cultivating and focus on other mundane affairs. However, with the Li family's big business, this kind of people are also scattered all over the West Pole Continent, where are there too many idlers hanging around at home?
Only those who sold themselves in the Li Mansion needed to keep this huge family running.
Seeing Shen Tong from afar, the subordinates retreated one after another to salute and make way out, and at the same time, their eyes were full of envy. This kind of vision naturally made Shen Tong smile bitterly, this monk's costume was really wasted and wasted on his body, and he didn't seem to be much different from ordinary people as a monk! However, it's not right to think about it, at least he doesn't need to waste food at the moment, which is much more convenient for people who are busy with three meals a day.
After entering several courtyards in a row, he stopped in front of a tall lobby, and after Shen Tong hesitated for a moment, he calmed down and walked in calmly.
This is a rather spacious and tall hall, there is a huge plaque hanging under the eaves, the three words "steward's room" are written on it, the font is simple, vigorous and powerful. Looking inside, rows of shelves stood among them, and several servants in Tsing Yi were busy in all directions, sorting out the files, and concentrating. And at the window in the west wing, there was an old man with a white beard and a silver-white robe monk's uniform, dozing off, looking like he was out of energy.
Looking at the busy people around one by one, and then at the old man who looked like he was sleeping sweetly, Shen Tong couldn't help frowning, obviously not knowing what to do for a while.
However, Shen Tong, who has been influenced by Confucianism since he was a child and has been educated by the concept of respecting the old and loving the young in Chinese civilization, naturally couldn't bear to disturb the old man's dream, so he had to wait patiently. At the same time, I thought about where to inquire about the underworld in the future, I don't know if there is a library or something like this in the spirit world, and it would be great if there were newspapers and the like.
But Li Ping, this kid is a standard otaku, and it seems that he hasn't even stepped out of the door of the Li Mansion a few times, which is a smear to the outside world, and he has no idea where to start. It seems that you can only take the job first, and then carefully explore, at least you have to find out the situation outside first, so that you can have a target, and if you meet the speed, you can't reach it, sometimes it's too eager and sometimes the effect is not good!
Just when he was thinking about how to deal with it in the future, I don't know how long it took, there was a long yawn in his ears, and when he looked at the sound, he saw that the old man seemed to have just woken up, and was yawning and rubbing his eyes.
