Chapter 363: Not Simple (2-in-1)
'Doing the Dharma.'
The shopkeeper's footsteps stopped, and the smile on his face did not disappear because Jiang Cang did not come to eat, but looked at Dahan, he knew that Dahan usually did not live or land, but he was an idler, and he was also a kind man who looked fierce and spoke ruthlessly, but was helpful in his heart.
This diner came to him at this time, and he really found the right place and the right person.
The shopkeeper felt a little ridiculous and a little bitter in his heart, otherwise on this day, in this environment, everyone is busy with their lives, who will waste physical strength to 'lead the way'? ’
What used to be easy to do is really not easy now.
"I'll lead the way for the Taoist." Dahan looked at Jiang Cang's proper practice clothes, and he really looked like a Taoist priest, and then called Jiang Cang 'Dao Chief' based on the meaning of Jiang Cang's words. ’
It is an honorific title, and the words clearly reveal the meaning of respect, and there is nothing to hide.
Maybe it's also because Jiang Cang is the 'Taoist' that he agreed so happily.
It's just because in this world, although it is one of the 'Great Jade Dynasty' who rules the world, there are also sects and sects in various states and states, which is a bit chaotic.
There are constant wars on the borders of various states, there are foreign races, and there are many small dynasties to spy on, so that warriors and monks often appear on the battlefield and appear in the eyes of the world.
In this way, the level of aura in this world is not low, and the strength of martial artists and cultivators can be imagined, and it will definitely be respected by those who see and hear it.
All the 'strong are respected' are deeply ingrained in their minds, and the strong must not be offended, but respected.
Even if Jiang Cang looked a little young to everyone in the inn, and then listened to Jiang Cang's words of 'helping', maybe this diner was just a little monk, but it was not something that they people could offend.
And Jiang Cang has walked around before, and he can guess the thoughts of everyone in the inn, but this guess is guessed, and people are respectful and it is to save face.
Returning the gift, there is no so-called scene, one yard is one yard.
Jiang Cang's salute fell, and he led the inn outside the inn and signaled the Han to lead the way, right?
When he got out of the inn, he avoided everyone's sight.
Jiang Cang also took out a piece of gold and handed it to Dahan, which was the reward.
Money is not exposed, Jiang Cang knows this truth very well, and makes Dahan grateful.
The big man bowed deeply, didn't say much, quietly put the gold away in the shabby sleeves, and bent his body lower to lead the way a little, respecting Jiang Cang even more.
But it's no secret either.
Everyone in the inn felt that the big man was leading the way for a Taoist chief, not to mention other rewards, but whenever he waited for Wang Laocai's house, there was always a sweet well water.
Thinking of this, everyone swallowed and spitted, really wanted to drink the clear and cool spring water in this sunbathing weather, but unfortunately the mountain spring in the south was dry.
Now there are still people with water sources, most of them are various sects, sects, and big clans in the city, they have strong people to place formations, and they can also block the seven scorching suns in the sky, and there are still 'residual oases'. ’
In addition, a small family like the rich man Wang, who has Taoist relatives and connections in the family, can attract some underground sources that have not yet dried up.
But it's like 'asking for rain', such a ritual, the idea of seeking heavy rain for the people in the town.
The people in the inn, and all the people in the town, knew about it, but they didn't believe that the heavens would hang on them.
That's the thing.
Jiang Cang walked on the street, and his divine sense let go of the entire town, and he also knew these things.
In a word, it is very difficult to pray for rain, and this ritual is very difficult to accomplish in the eyes of everyone, and they don't have any confidence, so they should move to some big cities.
This 'immortal' is also quite ruthless, his mind is very heavy, and he does not treat everyone equally, but allows the strong to use their formations, is he trying to provoke the so-called unfair infighting?
Jiang Cang thought about it, and felt that there was something wrong with the 'Heavenly Immortal Class', I heard that it was a year ago, maybe it was a group of 'outsiders immortals'. ’
Of course, this is just a guess, I can't sense them now, in case I guess wrong, it's wrong, I don't make an affirmation without evidence, so I don't have to guess wrong and lose face.
And the home nicknamed 'Wang Caizhu, Wang Laocai' is not far from the inn.
Walk through the wailing, cracked streets, close to the west of the city.
Jiang Cang's divine consciousness went three miles outside the city, and it was Wang Laocai's home.
From the sky, they see that this is a Zhuangzi with 300 acres of fertile land, but unfortunately there is still grain on only a few acres of land, and there is not even a single weed on other land.
Right here, around the seven acres of land that still existed under the scorching sun, there were more than 100 big men who built a pergola on the edge of the ground to prevent people from coming to steal grain.
Until now, this grain is a life-saving thing, and if anyone comes and steals it, they will really be killed, not a joke.
There are many corpses on the road, this human life is really worthless, maybe someone can be fed.
Jiang Cang was noncommittal about this, everything was clear.
The big man walked all the way, covering the gold in his cuffs, and found that the sun above his head was not dazzling, the breeze around him was blowing, it was not hot, and his steps were brisk, which was different from the dry and painful skin that had to be sunburned after walking a few steps, and his thirst was unbearable.
He was not a fool, he looked at the people on the side of the road who were the same as himself, and knew that it was this 'Jiang Dao Chief' who gave him favors.
Jiang Canglu also said his name, which is nothing to hide.
Go two miles ahead.
The fields on the road were covered with desolation, and thick dirt roads were carved out of them, and they came to the fields where there was still some green vegetation.
Jiang Cang saw the group of farmland guards who had been observed by his divine sense before, they were still enjoying the shade in the tent, and the soil under them was hot and dry, and it seemed that they did not say a word.
There were still a few guards close to Jiang Cang's side, one of them seemed to know Dahan, and when Dahan approached with Jiang Cang, he moved his dry mouth, and lay under the tent a little hoarse and shouted: "That.. Niu San, what are you doing this day? If you beg for water and food, your brothers will be roasted by this soil, and you will run out of water."
"I'm here to find Wang Yuanwai.." Niu San took a small step forward, and looked towards the guards and a few people who looked nearby: "Jiang Daochang came over to help Wang Yuanwai do things, and trouble the brothers to talk to Wang Yuanwai..." I can't say that Daochang Wu still knows Daochang Jiang."
"It turned out that Jiang Dao Chang was here!" When the guards heard the word 'Dao Chang', it was the spirit of coming in this hot day, no matter who they knew Jiang Cang was, as long as they touched the word Dao Chang, it must be respectful and immediately coming!
So, as soon as he and the brothers next to him explained, he turned around and ran towards the village not far away, went to report, and asked Wang Laocai to pick it up.
It seems that the etiquette is very solemn, but in fact, he can't make up his mind, and he can't afford to offend Jiang Cang, so he can only do this and get rid of the problem.
There's no way, if there is rain and dew in a few days, it's all counting on these 'land immortals'.
Also in his report to report.
Jiang Cang was standing here, and when he saw that everyone was going to say hello to him, it was a return gift, not all polite, he was familiar with this line.
It didn't take long to wait.
The guards followed a slightly chubby middle-aged man out of the gatebar, and in front of them there was a monk in a gray robe, who was very respectful as they walked.
As they approached, the guards around them hurriedly got up to say hello, and brought up some dust from the dry soil.
Jiang Cang glanced at it, if he didn't guess wrong, that middle-aged man was Wang Laocai, and this monk was 'Daoist Wu' who was preparing to do it in two days. ’
Not high.
The peak of the foundation of the realm has not yet reached perfection, and the qualifications are limited.
Jiang Cang thought left and right, it seems that this practice is not a 'Yuan Shen out of the body' to go to heaven, but a 'please God',
It is also the saying that opens the eyes of the heavens, try to contact the gods in the sky on the earth to communicate.
This line, to be honest, I really don't know it.
Up to now, he hadn't sensed any 'immortal yuan' fluctuations in this world.
In other words, even if you fly out of the sky, you can't find the so-called 'Heavenly Court', it seems that this line is really a layman, and there are some 'hidden' things in this world.
And Wu Daochang and the three of them were walking and looking at Jiang Cang.
At first glance.
Jiang Cang is well-dressed, this face is not annoying, the first impression is good, it is better to say that he is a Taoist priest, it is better to say that he is a rich boy in the city.
Wang Laocai smiled, came up without saying a word, and greeted him first, "I have seen Jiang Daochang below." There is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome, and I hope that the governor of Jiangdao will forgive his sins."
"The king's words are heavy." Jiang Cang smiled and returned the salute.
"Jiang Daoyou." Wu Daochang also wrote with a smile, but his words were direct, or the weather was too hot, and he said to the point: "Thank you for coming to help, but I don't know where you come from?" ”
"If you are a casual cultivator, you will know some magic." Jiang Cang is very modest, and he is also telling the truth, he entered the Tao with great merit with martial arts, the Tao is the spirit of cultivation, who stipulated that human immortals must know magic?
And I also understand that Wu Daochang is a temptation, but this is human nature, it can't be said to be a qi practitioner, it is a qi practitioner, you can eat and drink here Wang Laocai.
In this year, in this scene, eating and drinking is no less than mixing a life.
"Fellow Daoists, please.." When Daochang Wu heard Jiang Cang's words, he didn't say anything, feeling that Jiang Cang's temperament was dusty, and he didn't look like he was coming to deceive.
It's just that he thinks that Jiang Cang, as a casual cultivator, knows some spells, and eighty percent of them are here to 'steal his own teacher', but he is kind and kind, and his own spells are also taught by others, so why not let others learn them?
In the past few days, with the news coming, there have been many little Taoist priests who have come over, especially when they are obviously assisting themselves in doing things, but they occasionally ask themselves questions and listen to them, which is obviously to learn their skills.
Wu Daochang is a person who does not refuse, they are all cultivators, maybe he has dull qualifications to help which Taoist friend now, which Taoist friend is developed another day, and he has prepared but cause and effect, so he helped himself, and let himself see how strange the Jindan realm is.
At the pinnacle of foundation building, he can only practice to this, just like this, he has surpassed his immortal master, and he is now the head of the sect.
Their sect is a small sect, and it is not as good as the monks in the big city, but it is also amazing in this area.
I also walked into the village.
Daochang Wu then went to work, preparing sacrifices for the rituals, as well as drawing talismans, and the business could not be delayed.
Wang Laocai ordered someone to invite Dahan Niu San to rest in a small courtyard and prepared a pot of clear well water.
Meantime.
Wang Laocai invited Jiang Cang to sit in the main courtyard again, which was to negotiate the 'price'.
When the talks are done, it's okay to say no.
After the Dharma is done, the money is less, and if it is deviated, it will offend people.
Jiang Cang didn't say anything, and followed, but after sweeping around, he also knew why there was farmland outside the village that was not dry, and there was also a shallow well in the village. ’
Although this big sun has evaporated a lot, it is always an aura, and it will always condense some, enough for a Zhuangzi to hang his life.
In addition, there is a warehouse in the east courtyard.
Jiang Cang's divine sense swept over, it was full of accumulated grain, there were eight guards watching at the door, and a bookkeeper seemed to be checking every day, distributing and relieving the town, Wang Laocai still did practical things.
At night, maybe a cart of dry food and half a cart of water bags will be out of the warehouse, and hundreds of people will be protected by knives and guns.
It's a pity that he is just a small rich gentleman, with a strong heart, and can only help so much.
Yes, how can man fight against the time of day?
There are more than 10,000 people in the town, can he save it alone?
Jiang Cang understood this, and saw it with his own eyes, he really didn't need to wait for anyone to say it, and he found out everyone's bottom by himself.
Then if you can help, you can help.
Even if it is not for the so-called benevolence and righteousness, it is not for the task.
Wait until the main courtyard sits down.
Wang Laocai put a pot of water, and he didn't boil tea that day, and the cool well water was hot after two minutes.
Jiang Cang is kind, there is no arrogance, listening to Wang Laocai chatting about the world and some interesting things.
After all, he is not a qi practitioner, so he can't get straight to the point, for fear of offending this Jiang Dao chief.
Jiang Cang didn't say anything, but listened to Wang Laocai talk about these interesting things, which were more effective than the main thing.
Especially when he heard Wang Laocai say, "There is a city in the west, called 'Lucheng'", Jiang Cang felt that this world had really become a 'kind of toy' for the gods, or a 'test ground'? ’
Because there is no formation in the city, but it seems to be under the 'heavenly care', the seven suns in the sky can't shine on them, making them still an 'oasis', and many people in this town are fleeing for their lives.
It sounds like there is something wrong with the sun shining brightly on the world, and perhaps it is a 'shadow', a refuge for the world.
But let Jiang Cang sound, think about it again, and find that there are a lot of doorways here, maybe this city lord of Lucheng has already taken refuge in the so-called immortals.
The people in this area all know that Jiang Cang doesn't believe that the imperial court doesn't know, you must know that this is a high-level world, many horses, and thousands of miles a day, and the news can't be stopped.
But the court just doesn't check, doesn't say, and doesn't point it out, which is intriguing.
Could it be that the imperial court seems to be resolutely putting an end to 'immortals', and for the sake of the survival of the people and the sake of face, it turns a blind eye? Let these city lords who have taken refuge in the immortals leave alone? Or is there something wrong in the court?
For example, there was a dispute between the issue of 'new ancestral hall' and 'not built', and then the emperor was far away, the internal strife was uneven, and the city lords who were released were in chaos first, each of them was a banner, and the court did not take refuge, so they came to save their lives first.
It seems that any immortal dynasty does not need to be broken by outsiders, and everything starts from itself.
But that's also the thing.
Jiang Cang felt that it was possible to ask for rain in the law, because of the 'lessons from the past', it seemed that as long as he and others took refuge in the 'Shangxian', the Shangxian would not mind giving himself and others some rain and dew to save their lives.
It's ridiculous.
Jiang Cang suddenly felt that when was the normal wind, rain, thunder and lightning all asking people and immortals to fall?
If this is the world with gods, then can this really be regarded as a 'world simulation', the immortals are treating themselves and others as toys in a sandbox, and all life and death are in their hands.
But you can't say that.
Jiang Cang now feels that the toy of the Great Jade Dynasty is very big, as if this group of immortals will not be able to take it for a while and a half, and the public opinion will not be smooth, so they will use such a strategy.
This world is fighting against the 'sky' again.
It's just that if you want to win the fight and force the immortals away, you must rather die than give in, and in the end, you will win and die.
On the contrary, surrendering can live, which seems to be the opposite of life and death.
Unless, there is a game-breaker.
Jiang Cang thought of this and understood, sure enough, it was the friendship of 'breaking the line', and this parallel universe was probably not in the lower realm, but in the big universe.
Breaking the rules is not a friendship or a task. It is a criterion for whether or not you can enter the big universe.
If you're not mistaken.
These people are outsiders, people from within the great universe, self-proclaimed 'immortals'. ’
A bunch of blood-sucking ghosts.
