Volume 2 Rivers, Lakes and Seas Chapter 81 Uncle Shi came to welcome him into the market town
At the end of the pier is a lush forest with a ten-meter-wide brick and stone avenue leading to the distant beneath the towering trees.
The master stopped at the dock, took out a piece of paper from the pouch, folded it into a paper swallow, and recited words in his mouth, only to see the paper swallow in his hand fluttering its wings and flying into the air.
Then he led us to wait in a lounge on the docks, and after about half an hour, I heard a light sound of hooves outside, and Master stood up and walked outside.
I saw a one-horse carriage parked at the junction of the dock and the forest, no, not a horse-drawn carriage to be exact, it should be called a deer cart, because it was two beautiful sika deer pulling the cart.
A person jumped out of the car, with a slender face, round edges and corners, eyebrows with spring breeze, and crow's feet when he laughed, at first glance, there was a sense of déjà vu of Tony Leung, a famous movie star at the time, in short, the first side gave people a feeling like a spring breeze, and in terms of age, it is estimated that he is a few years younger than the master, especially the white silk in the hair, which is at least more than half less than the master.
He waved at us, smiled contagiously, and said, "Senior brother, I thought you wouldn't be back until half a month. ”
Senior sister and senior brother stepped forward to greet him and called him Uncle Yun.
Master had introduced the master to me before, because the surname Yun was relatively small, so I was particularly impressed, as soon as I heard Uncle Yun, I knew that this person was our second uncle Yun Shuiqing, and he was also a disciple of the ancestor refining the first line.
That's why I saluted and saluted.
Master should have mentioned me to him, so Uncle Yun immediately called out my name and touched my head in a very elder manner.
Because we were anxious to see our master, the master didn't talk to him much, and pointed to me to explain Nian'er's situation.
Uncle Yun listened attentively, and did not question Nian'er's identity as a demon, but said to Master: "Master, his old man is in retreat and recuperating, and he may not see him for a while. ”
Yes!? How so?
The master frowned and said, "Could it be because the mind was out of the body before?" ”
"Oh? Brother, do you know that? Uncle Yun's eyebrows jumped.
"A month ago, we fought against the Ten Thousand Law Sect in Taihu Lake, and Master Shennian arrived to subdue Qin Mian." Master briefly mentioned the situation.
Uncle Yun said: "I see, I said that the master was chatting with us in the bedroom at that time, and suddenly felt something, and his mind flew out of the nine clouds at once, and when he came back, he looked tired and fell asleep, and he went into retreat the next day, and no one was seen, so he went to help you, Wu Zhe...... How did Qin Mian end up? ”
The master shook his head: "The soul has left the body, and I don't know whether I live or die, I am worried that with his means, it will not hurt the root, and at most it will lie dormant for a period of time." ”
Uncle Yun sighed: "This person's mind is extraordinary, we have suffered too much from him, if we can't completely destroy him, maybe we will fall into his calculations." ”
The master agreed with Uncle Yun's words, felt powerless, and said that he wanted to discuss countermeasures with the master when he came back this time.
Then he changed his words and asked Uncle Yun to take a look at Nian'er's condition first.
Uncle Yun is a refining vein, good at medicine and medicine, and is a good hand at curing diseases and saving people, although Nian'er is a demon, you might as well give him a look.
Uncle Yun put his hand on Nian'er, the same technique as the original master, but his technique was faster and more subtle.
After a few minutes, Uncle Yun let go of his hand and said, "It's the first time I've seen this kind of system, it stands to reason that the fox demon has long been annihilated by life and death, but it still survives to this day, it's really incredible. ”
"Oh, it was Wang Yun who blessed her with a period of cocooning and greedy words, so that she could maintain it." I explained.
Uncle Yun
Touching his chin, thoughtfully, "Cocoon is a secret method, and it is indeed very important, but ...... Let's not question anything else, senior brother, although Master can't go out of retreat, but I have good news, Fang Huzhang Sect real person Jiang Yu is talking in the door, you can talk to him. ”
Uncle Yun didn't show much interest in Qian Cocoon's greedy words, but the second half of his sentence made Master's eyes light up, "Really? Fang Ju adheres to the medical lineage, which is the head of the world's medical lineage, there must be a way, let's go to see him now. ”
Uncle Yun hesitated and said, "It's just ...... Let's get in the car and go to the market town, and then talk about it in the car. ”
With that, he turned and opened the door and let us in.
The two sika deer pulling the cart were very well-behaved, and when I passed by them, one of them even turned his head and sniffed the thoughts in my arms.
When we got on the bus, there was not much space in the carriage, and the five of us were huddled together, while Master sat in the driver's seat and shared a seat with Uncle Yun.
Uncle Yun snorted softly, and the sika deer drove forward.
Then I heard Uncle Yun say to the master: "Senior brother, now Jiang Zhangjiao is drinking tea with Elder Xiahou in Qufang Pavilion, you also know that Elder Xiahou is the most unsightly monster, I think it's better for us to wait." And when I came, I met Elder Yang, and I don't see that his face is very good, so I won't meet you. ”
"Elder Yang is fair, reasonable, and not afraid, but Xiahou Shen is a little troublesome. In that case, Qu Fangge, we won't bother, put the others down at the old blacksmith's, and you and I will go to pay a visit to the two. Jiang Zhangjiao has a good relationship with the master, and he should be willing to stoop to take a look. Master said.
It's good. Uncle Yun agreed to Master's proposal.
On both sides of the dense forest, many of the trees I had never seen before, with strange and graceful branches, broad, oily leaves, inhabited by brightly colored birds, and beetles and butterflies twice their size fluttering, full of life.
At this time, I looked up at the giant tree in the distance, and I already had a feeling of looking up at the peak of the mountain, as if a pillar of optimus was standing in front of me, I could clearly see the thick branches of this giant tree, extending outward for more than 100 meters, and there were countless wooden houses and corridors distributed between the branches.
The carriage traveled for about half an hour and arrived at the edge of the dense forest, followed by a large paddy field in front of me, in which many farmers were plowing and planting rice.
These people all know us, except me.
After this paddy field, a low stone wall came into view, which looked like it was some years old and covered with moss. How low is this wall? I can easily flip through it. However, the low wall is very large, stretching left and right without being able to see the edge, and within the low wall, there are hundreds of brick and stone houses lined up one after another, forming a small town of considerable scale.
The giant tree obscured the sky and the sun, and at this time I could clearly see the leaves of the giant tree, not dark green, but showing a kind of blue-gray, white, although the giant tree was as high as a mountain, but its leaves were only the size of a palm, scattered everywhere, as if the clouds coiled in between, a little sparse, countless brilliance through the gaps in the branches projected down, through the gaps in the branches I could still see the blue sky.
There was an arch five or six meters high above the avenue in the middle of the low wall, and I saw that the arch was inlaid with a fist-sized spar, and as we passed, the spar flickered slightly, casting a vertical light.
I thought it was the same as the jade on the two statues, it was also similar to the effect of the ban, but the master turned his head and said that it was a peep stone, and if someone brought evil objects inside, they would be intercepted, a bit like going through the security check.
So like some witches, head lowering, Kuman Tong,
Ghost cultivation techniques and even side doors will not be able to pass through here, of course, it is not generalized, and the restrictions in it will not be debated for a while and a half, one thing is certain, but if it is contaminated with evil energy, it will be blocked. And a pure yin thing like a monster is not restricted.
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "I can even climb over that low wall, if I am intercepted, can't I climb through that wall?" ”
Uncle Shi smiled meaningfully and said, "The low wall just doesn't look tall." ”
I was stunned and asked what do you mean?
Uncle Shi told me that if I had time in the future, I could stand under the low wall and have an interview.
We passed through the arch smoothly, entered the arch, a twenty or thirty meters wide avenue appeared in front of my eyes, on both sides are brick and stone houses of different heights, there are courtyards, and also see the horse-head wall, the eaves house, the style is very different, mixed together, but there is a sense of seeing the ancient Chinese architecture at a glance.
People come and go on both sides of the avenue, and the traffic is very prosperous.
This is the same as the town under Zizhu Mountain, it is not a real teacher, but a town that developed with the development of the master.
It is estimated that more than 10,000 people live here.
Master told me that the whole market town is fan-shaped, and the center point of the circle is the giant tree called the earth's vein ancestral spirit, and the radius below it is about 100 meters, that is, under the end of the branches and leaves of the giant tree, is the blessed land of the ancestral spirit, which is where the master is located, and all the disciples live in it.
The main people who live in the market town are the relatives of the disciples of the master, as well as the strangers who have been displaced and the original residents of the island, but with the opening of the master to the outside world, more and more people in the circle will also go here through various channels to trade, visit, observe and other activities, so the master is not guarded by the giant ** array, but it is also relatively open and free.
The biggest disadvantage is that there is no electricity and communication facilities, and no electronic products can be used in the division, including mobile phones.
Communication within the division mainly relied on paper swiftlets, while people in market towns had to communicate over long distances by buying paper swiftlets.
When it comes to buying, Shimen does not use paper money, but a kind of currency called square chips, made of unique materials of Shimen, the size is fixed, about half the size of a palm, engraved with runes, according to the material is divided into wood, silver, jade three kinds, each material of square chips, and according to the rune material, divided into black, silver, gold three kinds, each level is calculated by ten times, and these wooden chips are equivalent to a certain RMB, a piece of black wood chips is worth ten yuan, and so on.
There is a mechanism similar to an exchange station within the division, which is used to exchange foreign currency into square chips.
There is a little advantage, that is, this kind of formula is common in Sanxian Mountain, that is to say, Yingzhou, Penglai, and Fanghu use the same currency.
We crisscrossed the streets and finally stopped in front of a courtyard-style blacksmith's house, where we heard the rhythmic sound of tinkling in the distance.
The senior brother seemed very excited, and as soon as he got out of the car, he shouted, "Old blacksmith! Old blacksmith! ”
As soon as the tapping sound stopped, it was a rather thick male voice that answered: "Yo, Zhou Tian, are you kid again?" Tell you, I'm not going to teach you swordsmanship! Die that heart. ”
Then the man known as the old blacksmith appeared at the door, with a heavy charcoal fire, a burly man, about fifty years of age, with a garlic nose, gray hair, a disheveled beard, covered with dust, mixed with dense beads of sweat.
The moment this seemingly cheesy and dirty person appeared in front of me, the momentum made me feel that what was standing in front of me was a big mountain at all, and it was an unstoppable peak!
I suddenly noticed that he was inexplicably similar to a certain big guy I had met before.
Yue Chenqing!
