Chapter 1558: New Immortal Collection
On the surface, the water of the lake is unwavering and unusual, and if there is a difference from before, it is that the water seems to be clearer.
But just standing by the lake, Xuan Bao felt a strong aura! No wonder those fish would rather swim into the sea, such an environment is not suitable for fish to survive at all!
Where did the aura come from? Xuanbao simply jumped into the lake, feeling the source of these aura. It's a pity that I have no choice but to give up in the end, because although the aura is very strong, it is divided into countless small wisps, as if they are peeling off the cocoon from all directions, and when they arrive here, they condense into a ball of thread.
However, Xuan Bao knew why these spiritual qi came here, it was attracted by the Tongxian Gate! The forbidden enchantment that Xuan Bao arranged on the Styx Lake was really only used to prevent the people above from coming in, and it was impossible to prevent the cultivators who came from the sea or the bottom of the lake!
I don't know who came up with this method, using such a large amount of aura to flood the entire Styx, so that the true location of the Tongxian Gate was found, because the enchantment is a rebound aura.
What a clever method, Xuanbao didn't think of it before. This is not something that can be done by one person, unless it is a cultivation like Xuanbao, could it be that the Great Demon Venerable is here? This is also impossible, because although this aura is strong, it is not an evil spirit, let alone a demonic aura.
It seems that they are about to come! Xuanbao knew that if there was no mistake in the prediction, these spiritual qi were gathered by the spiritual cultivators in this world, and they arrived at the Styx Lake faster than the spiritual cultivators, in order to find the location of the Tongxian Gate.
Now that the aura has already come, the cultivators will probably come to the Styx Lake tonight or tomorrow. This is not a place to entertain spiritual cultivators, Xuan Bao simply let go of his divine sense and absorbed all the spiritual energy in the lake into his body!
To release the divine sense, those spiritual cultivators do not have such a powerful cultivation, according to Yuan Shi's reminder, the immortals have some immortal methods that are born from the divine skills of the gods, such as this small means of releasing spiritual energy.
Of course, the effect will not be as clear as that that of Xuanbao that can be perceived with divine sense. But it is also equivalent to having a clairvoyant effect, which can slightly perceive the fluctuations of aura in the distance.
Now that they are all devoured by Xuanbao so unceremoniously, it is estimated that those guys will be frightened and dare not make such a move.
This is also a kind of dismount of Xuanbao. The Styx Lake is the place where he started, it is sacrosanct, these little spiritual cultivators, they actually use such a technique to test the Styx, they simply don't take his Xuanbao in their eyes, and they deserve a lesson!
Coming up from the Styx, Xuan Bao smiled at the women, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the fairy gathering!"
Die Xuan looked behind him with some concern and said, "It doesn't matter here, with so much aura in the water, something big must happen!"
Xuan Bao smiled and waved his hand and said: "Now there is no aura in the water, there will be no one in a few days, the fish that ran away will come back, don't worry, I will go back to the Hukou Strait at night, there will be no movement on this side of the Styx, at least not in the next few days!"
Hearing him say this, all the women were relieved and all excited, after all, shopping is a very relaxing thing.
Styx specially prepared carriages for the emperor and the ladies, a total of five, very comfortable, but Xuanbao everyone doesn't like to sit, they all sit in ordinary carriages, because the dragon and the phoenix are too ostentatious, and there is no need to talk about pomp and circumstance, just play, and there is no need to be so excited.
Like all the women, although the Styx Lake has come back a few times, Xianji has not been back for at least two years! No one expected that it used to be at least two or three hours away from the Styx Lake to Xianji, but now they have seen the south gate of Xianji in less than an hour!
From the original big grass beach is the south gate of Xianji, which is full of houses and trees, and pedestrians rub shoulders one after another, in an endless stream!
Xianji has become the largest city south of Lei City, just looking at the width of the streets, it can be comparable to the capital!
In fact, although the location of Xianji is very good, the current conditions are not very good, after all, the Styx Lake has not yet been opened to shipping, and it is not a necessary place for the military road.
It's just that this is the first town of the entire Xuan Dynasty, and it is the first peaceful place for the people of the world in the most turbulent time, so it brings together the people who used to come from ****, and they also like this place, and they also regard themselves as the birthplace of the Xuan Dynasty, and they have piled up the prosperity of Xianji!
Even Gongliangwei didn't expect that a poor rural and small seaside fishing village would have the scale it has today, and he also jumped from a prefect to a prefect!
Now the total population of Xianji has reached 300,000, and it has become a veritable big city, even in the face of Lanyue City and Yuezhou, which are big cities in the Yangtze River, they will not lose their momentum!
Compared to the Xianji of the past, the current urban area has expanded at least three times! The road under your feet alone has the width of five horse-drawn carriages side by side. The road was all paved with stone slabs, and the seams were very flat, so that the carriage did not feel rough at all.
On both sides are all kinds of shops, Xianji has a great tolerance for merchants, three hundred and sixty lines, the lines are all done, and the development of Xianji has also led to the rise of some surrounding towns, which has become a rich place in the southeast of the Central Plains.
A large number of barren mountains have been developed, some of the Central Plains refugees have not entered Xianji because of various conditions, but formed a small village and town around Xianji, the imperial court sent people to assist in the construction, provide tools to open up mountains and fields, collect costs and small taxes, has begun to slowly move closer to the five towns, after a few decades, the East China Sea and the South China Sea will no longer be poor!
Xuan Bao and the girls came in three carriages, and the pedestrians on the street did not feel anything abrupt. Compared with three years ago, the people of Xianji have seen more of the world, and ordinary carriages like this can be seen everywhere in Xianji, which is nothing unusual.
Women's favorite items are the rouge gouache and knick-knacks, so when they get out of the car, they go straight to these shops. The Xianji patrol guards who had already received the secret report rushed over, but they were quietly driven away by Xuanbao.
Mu Huafeng, who personally led the team, accompanied Gongliangwei to stay by Xuanbao's side, as the parents of the city, the two did not dare to let the emperor wander around the city alone.
Not everyone in this city can see the prefect up close, and at this moment, Gongliangwei and Mu Huafeng are not wearing official clothes, they are ordinary clothes, so they are not very conspicuous, which is why Xuanbao let them stay by their side.
"In more than three years, Xianji has become what it is now, and Lord Gongliang has contributed a lot!" Xuanbao admired sincerely, looking at the bustling street market, and kept nodding.
"It's all the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, benevolence and love for the people, and Xianji has today's achievements!" Gong Liangwei respectfully complimented on the side.
Mu Huafeng dismantled his platform on the side and said: "Don't be nervous, laugh if you want to laugh! You can get the emperor's praise, you kid doesn't know how happy you are, and you still pretend to be reserved!"
Xuanbao suddenly laughed, and Gongliangwei also had a wry smile on his face, shaking his head and sighing at Mu Huafeng: "Lao Mu, I didn't dismantle the stage like you, I told the truth, if it wasn't for the emperor's love, Xianji wouldn't have been able to go this day." ”
These words made Mu Huafeng stop, and he only nodded. Indeed, Xuanbao has a lot of affection for this place of Xianji, everyone can see it, and they know the emperor's preference for this place, so they all subconsciously send all the good things here.
If it weren't for the resistance of the small town of Xianji, how could the 50,000 Xuan soldiers in the Stygian Lake District be able to resist the attack of the 150,000 troops of the Yin Army? If the battle had been lost, there would have been no Xuan Dynasty now! Therefore, Xuanbao promised that all other places would be exempt from taxation for one year, and only the people of Xianji had received real benefits, and they did not have to pay taxes for three years, and they could also enjoy the subsidy for land reclamation!
Therefore, although the economic development of Xianji is very fast, it has never left behind agriculture, and a large number of beaches are renovated in the surrounding area, and the effect is very obvious!
"We have three years, and we can support the 200,000 Kiss Army of the Stygian Lake in one city, without much effort!" Gong Liangwei looked at the crowd coming and going on the street, and said categorically.
Now all the side businesses of the Styx Lake have been handed over to the people of Xianji. It's just that when the farming is busy, there will be troops to participate in the cultivation and harvesting.
300,000 people to feed an army of 200,000, of course Xuanbao knows, but he also understands that Gongliangwei is by no means talking big, Xianji has such potential, and will soon have such ability.
Xuan Bao also looked at Gongliangwei and said with a smile: "If it really comes to that time, I will set up a county here in Xianji, and you, the prefect, are expected to be able to sit on the first county guard here!"
When these words came out of the emperor's mouth, it was a holy decree! Even his old friend Mu Huafeng quietly punched Gongliangwei on the shoulder, happy for him!
However, Gongliangwei was not too carried away, and said to Xuanbao: "Weichen thank the emperor for his love! Actually, it's really not for the position of this county guard, I just think that this is my home, how to make my home more beautiful, more prosperous, and the people happier, that's what I want to do the most!"
Gongliangwei and Mu Huafeng are Xuanbao's most loyal team, it is because of them that Xuanbao is not afraid to fight to the death with Yinjun, and dares to hand over his back to these people, no matter what kind of defeat he suffers, he believes that these old friends behind him will do their best to resist him and not let him fall!
Therefore, he also knows that Gong Liangwei is not a person who likes to say nice things, and that his hands are always more than his mouth!
Mu Huafeng next to him suddenly lowered his voice and said to Xuanbao: "Your Majesty, look ahead, fifty steps away, that black-robed man, who entered the Tongfu Inn yesterday, asked for a room in the upper room. There were six other people who came with him, and they were generous, but they were a little ignorant of the world, and they were very good!"
Following his prompt, Xuan Bao looked up, but saw a black-robed man standing at the door of a cloth shop, about forty years old from the side, with a long beard and very black hair, but it was messy, just on the top of his head, he pulled his hair in a bun and tied it with a golden hairpin.
Xuan Bao could see at a glance that this was a spiritual cultivator! As Mu Huafeng said, this person seemed to be a little ignorant of the world, and it was not unusual for men to buy cloth, but all he saw were some fancy silks, which were generally used to make clothes for women.
And Xuanbao's ear power is amazing, he can hear this person speak, the pronunciation is very strange, although he is undoubtedly from the Central Plains, but his speech is not clear, as if he has not spoken for a long time!
