Chapter 197: Cultivating Immortals?
However, thanks to this, the security of Jinling City has become much better overnight.
Before there is conclusive evidence that the three fires of this new official are burned, no one will be stupid enough to take the initiative to provoke the fire, the three hands are temporarily chopped off, and those who are used to walking at night will also bring lamps when they go out, and even duels, revenge, and old grudges will be subconsciously kept away from Jinling.
- It's still the same sentence, the head can be broken, the blood can be shed, and the face cannot be lost. If they accidentally provoked this evil god and were stripped of pigs by him and hung up, then they would really rather die......
And those "chivalrous men" who serve the country and the people have also lost many opportunities to do chivalrous deeds, and their exuberant energy has nowhere to vent, what should they do? Read the book and go!
Lord Bai - that's right, as a Jinling patrol envoy, Baihe has another name called Lord Bai - made a great work, deterring Xiao Xiao in one fell swoop, and raising my morale, of course we righteous people have to have a good show. If we can learn from him his "thinking on government", it will be very good. At worst, I can have a good time, at least the plot of the book is still very exciting.
The so-called good at the top will be very bad at the bottom.
Lord Bai's masterpiece, even the heads of various sects and academies have named and said that it looks good, and the disciples below will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity to pat on the back, no matter whether it looks good or not, in short, it's right to buy a copy.
As a result, Lao Bizhai began to be a little unbearable.
Why?
Because there are too many orders, I can't get busy!
In the past, everyone was purchased as an individual, but now it is suddenly changed to a collective order, even if there is an epoch-making advanced technical support such as movable type printing, the production plan has been scheduled to the end of the year!
In view of this, Mr. Gao, who is determined to "let everyone in the world have books to read", smiled widely, not because he made more money, but because he was one step closer to his "dream".
ββSeeing that Baihe's book was selling so well, he actually announced the two major technologies of movable type printing and assembly line standardization without saying a word, so that all the printing companies in Jinling could enjoy this epoch-making technological achievement together.
His idea is very simple: since my old Bizhai family can't print it, let's print it together. The more books printed, the cheaper the books, and the cheaper the books, the more people will read. The more people who read, the closer I am to my ideal!
can give up such a big interest without changing his face, I have to say that Mr. Gao's great sentiment is really not something that ordinary people can do.
But what Mr. Gao didn't expect was that once the two technologies were announced, they would once again set off a silent tsunami.
However, this time the impact of the tsunami was positive.
The movable type printing is still secondary, mainly the concept of standardized production of the assembly line, which is really the gospel of all production industries. The impact of the progress of productivity is in all aspects, and almost every Jinling person and outsiders who come to Jinling can clearly feel the changes in life.
In this way, after the labels of "cow man", "fierce man", "ruthless man", etc., Baihe has added a new label: sage. In the hearts of people engaged in production, he is even at the level of a "saint"!
You must know that the two sages of Confucius and Mencius only left a book to their descendants, while the "white sages" gave the world bread and milk. As for which is more important, it is a matter of opinion.
Talking about social development and human progress, it is too empty for the small people of Shengdou, and the most tangible change people have seen is: since that day the little hooligans hung up the hundreds of habitual thieves, Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, seems to have become civilized and polite overnight, all industries are thriving, everyone is always smiling, and every family recites poetry and books.
In every street and alley, in everyone's mouth, the first sentence when they meet is not "have you eaten", but "have you read it" - Mr. Bai's "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", have you read it?
Gratitude is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.
When passing by the gold-lacquered signboard of "Lin Mansion", you will subconsciously light your steps and pay attention to the salute. How many underworld people who have a grudge against Bai He, mainly the group that he hanged, who wanted to take revenge, either took the initiative to dispel this thought, or were strangled by the righteous people.
Of course, the spring breeze turns into rain, moisturizing things silently, and the above changes in social atmosphere need time to ferment and brew, these are all later words.
Let's go back to the present.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Lao Bai, I have already done the things you explained, how is it? Enough is right? β
"Proper ...... It's so special! Li Yuanfang, Li Yuanfang, how do you say my brother should reward you...... Why don't you deduct your salary for another hundred years? β
The initiator of the whole thing, the little rascal, when he triumphantly asked Bai He for credit afterwards, Bai He's whole face was black at that time.
It's all thanks to this girl's "feat", so that he now goes out as if he has entered Jurassic Park - he is the dinosaur! All kinds of onlookers, autographs, hello, etc., are simply annoying, and there are even some "little Yueyue-style" who shout "Mr. Bai, I want to have a monkey with you" as soon as they meet, if it weren't for the indescribable dignity, the second lady would definitely think that he was going to cheat!
The worst thing is that someone is urging the draft!
The greater the fame, the more powerful the reminder becomes.
As soon as I go out, I will hear someone asking, "Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, when will the third episode of your book come out?" β
- "Soon, soon......"
"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, how did you get the inspiration for your creation? A book like the Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation is simply unprecedented! Now many masters in the rivers and lakes say that there is a hidden morality in your book, and they suspect that it may be the practice of cultivating immortals, but their own realm is not enough, so they can't cultivate, are these true? β
- "Let's see what happens, haha...... With a dream in his heart, everyone can cultivate immortals. β
"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, according to the standards in your book, what realm do you think I am now? Refining the body or building the foundation? β
- "You've already crossed the calamity, go and ascend, the fairy world is waiting for you to explore......"
"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, look at my sword, if it is tempered a little, is it possible for it to fly?"
- "A little more thinning, a little more true qi, it should be fine...... What the? Broken? Hey, you can't use this sword material, you have to change it! I think the weapons produced by my Lin family's old iron shop are good......"
"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, hurry up and release the third episode! If you don't come out again, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will sleep at your doorstep...... If Mr. Bai can see it, what does it matter to you? I'm afraid that the second lady won't agree! β
"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai......"
"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai......"
β¦β¦ You see, it's annoying, isn't it? In the face of all kinds of fancy reminders, Bai He responded, he was really tired, and he was a little ashamed not to respond......
"The readers are so enthusiastic that it's like if if I don't update it, they'll send blade......s at any time," Shirakawa complained.
The little rascal despises: "Sluts are hypocritical!" I see you're clearly enjoying it! β
"Is there one? Brother is obviously very distressed, okay......"
"You pretend again, you pretend again...... The mouth is cracked and the back of the head is gone, you pretend again? β
"Yes, yes?"
"Look, you see, it's cracked and cracked...... Mally, don't talk nonsense, when will you give up the third episode? Come on! Master, I'm still waiting to practice Jindan! β
"Hey! You came out with this moth, and my brother didn't ask you yet, but you rushed to draft? Let's go back to the distillery and wait slowly, and tell you that you won't want to pay your salary for the rest of your life! What the? Hurry up and update? Do you know what it means to be hehe? β
Finally got rid of this little rascal, Bai He had just secretly instructed Dad Lan to give him some benefits, such as when he stole wine, everyone pretended not to see it, and the big detective suddenly came to the door.
"The Holy Queen's Divine Heart is dictatorial! Brother Bai has just taken office, and he has achieved such good results, it is simply used to die, a model for my generation! β
Some people are happy and some are sad about the changes caused by the word "Baihe", and some people can't stop laughing, for example, the great detective is very satisfied with the performance of Baihe, the newly appointed "subordinate".
Regardless of the black cat or white cat, if you catch a mouse, you are a good cat, and the subordinates are so powerful, and we also have a light on our faces when we are superiors, aren't we?
"Our Da Zhou, we just need talents like you, Brother Bai! Work hard, continue to maintain this momentum, the old man is optimistic about you! But then again, Brother Bai, your book ......"
As soon as he came to the door, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, the great detective first praised Bai He, and then began to chase after him with a dead face.
ββ¦β¦ Hehe, you also know, brother, I'm going to leave Jinling soon, there's no way, I'm on official business, how can you be so idle, brother? Farewell today, I don't know when we will get together again, so it's ...... Hehe, shouldn't your book be a good idea for my brother in advance? Don't look like that, I know you must have a manuscript on hand......"
Bai He thought to himself, this great detective has been coming to Jinling for some time, a big man like him who is in charge of the national Jianghu Supervision Department should not have stayed in a place like Jinling for a long time, and now he has been in Jinling for more than a month, I'm afraid it's also because of the Jinling patrol envoy, right?
Now that we're in office, it's time for him to leave!
This year, there is no phone WeChat or anything, and it is really "I don't know when to get together again if I say goodbye today......
"There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor. Brother Di, you have the grace of knowing my Baihe, don't say anything else, Jinling welcomes you to come again at any time, and the door of my Lin Mansion will always be open to you! In this way, you can take the 200,000 words of the manuscript first...... What the? Too little? Please, this is already all my inventory, and I didn't even want to give it ......to her after asking a few times."
"That'...... Okay, then I'll see you another day......"
"What? Sometime? β
"Oh no, I mean there's a chance...... There is a chance that the old man will come to see you again! β
Today, the "Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" sold by Lao Bizhai is actually more than 300,000 words in the two-in-one version at the beginning, but has doubled to 600,000 words. Its content has been talked about from the spring breeze in Tiannan to the cold winter in Mulan, and the people of Jinling can't put it down and can't stop.
The Great Detective is obviously one of them.
The higher the realm, the more you can feel how high the three thousand Dao Zang "forced qualifications" are, otherwise, a great god at the level of a grandmaster would not be so dead-faced.
But then again, the 200,000-word manuscript is indeed all the inventory in Baihe's hands...... Half of it.
It's true that even his fiancΓ©e hasn't read this sentence, if it weren't for the fact that the great detective is about to leave, he would really be reluctant to give it.
took the manuscript, and the great detective withdrew in a hurry.
On the one hand, he enjoyed watching it and fully enjoyed the privilege of "direct boss", and on the other hand, the great detective did not forget to say good things to Bai He in front of the Holy Queen.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
On this day, he retired from the court, and it was in the imperial study again.
The holy queen is still dressed in red, floating at a height of nine inches and nine centimeters above the ground, still holding the scroll in one hand, and reading it intently.
The hair was still like a waterfall like satin, and the snow-white Hunan embroidered peony on the robe was still looming between the black hair and the red clothes, but this time, her other hand was no longer lightly curled with green silk, but was carried behind her back, and her fingertips slid gently in an incomprehensible trajectory.
Between the flips of the wrists, the jade bracelet on the wrist flashed lightly, and the brilliance was beautiful.
There is an inexplicable throbbing in the air, rippling with the gentle rhythm of the fingertips of the Holy Queen, mysterious and mysterious, and occasionally, you can hear the sound of "pop" thunder exploding.
If the little rascal sees this scene, he should be very experienced: Emma, a fellow traveler! Taoist friends are deeply cultivated, and they are admired below!
Because what the Holy Empress is doing now is exactly what he did when he first saw Baihe's manuscript in Gao Laozhuang that day: cultivating immortals.
But the biggest difference between the two is that the little hooligan is purely nervous and has fun. However, the Holy Queen is free to study all the laws at will.
The realm is as high as the latter, the world is already invincible, in fact, there are barriers, and her bottleneck is even harder than anyone imagined - how strong the Great Zhou Dragon Vein is, how hard her barrier is.
There is the blessing of the dragon vein of Kyushu on the outside, and the purple qi of the true dragon on the inside, and the two are fused into one, which is the master and the master of Kyushu.
Today's Holy Queen can already be said to be a humanoid self-propelled Kyushu dragon vein, and if she wants to further break through to a higher realm, it means that she has to break through the limit of the Kyushu dragon vein.
The so-called Kyushu is another name for China. So to put it simply: the Holy Queen wants to break through again, unless she opens up territory.
However, for the time being, it is unrealistic for the current Great Zhou to expand externally, so it must find another way.
"The Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation" is his method - even if it is very slim, but at least it is a kind of hope.
Therefore, it is necessary for her to explore whether the "cultivation of immortals" in this book is true.
"Boom......"
The room was as quiet as ever, except for the sound of pages turning and jumping gently with the explosion of thunder.
If Da Zhou is the slowest person to read books - specifically referring to this "Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", then it is none other than the Holy Queen, but it is only 300,000 words, she has actually read it for 20 days, and she has not finished reading it.
But no matter how slow you look, as long as you keep watching, there will always be a day when you will finish watching.
For example, today......
Syllable!
As the last page of the back cover was turned, the sound of thunder exploding was louder than ever, and the inexplicable throbbing in the air disappeared in an instant.
"It's a little bit close...... Is it still not enough? β
What a strong sense of dΓ©jΓ vu!
But the same sentence for another person, but it has a completely different effect, the little rascal also said this sentence at the time, but was sprayed by Xiao Qi on the spot, and now the holy queen said it again, but no one dared to laugh at half a sentence.
Not because of who she is, but because she really almost succeeded.
The martial arts master uses the spirit as ink, and the words written on the paper are the secrets, which can allow future generations to learn his mastery in an all-round way, which is a top-down way of inheritance. However, what the Holy Queen is doing now is to deduce a new cultivation method from the bottom up from a printed book, and the difficulty can be imagined.
But she did it anyway.
It's a pity that she is still a little bit after all, just a little bit......
Looking back at the vacancy on the cover, there was a trace of dazedness and reluctance on the face of the Holy Queen: "The Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation...... What kind of god can write such a god? β
After getting the book that day, she had already sent someone to thoroughly investigate the source of the book, but the appearance of the little hooligan and the frightened wind was just an accident, and Xiao Mian herself was just "wandering around", how could she find any clues?
Now that she has fallen short, there is an unprecedented longing in her heart, as if the door of a new world has appeared in front of her, but she can't find the key!
There's nothing more confusing.
"Mei Niang, I'm back......" squeaked, and Xiao Mian's voice came again. But this time, she brought back a very regular piece of good news.
"I received the secret music from Di Renjie this morning, I think Mei Niang, the god you are looking for seems to be a little eyebrow-raising......"
