In a cave mansion located in Cuiping Mountain, Lin Yi and Liu Yuyan sat opposite each other, and between the two was a black wooden table, on which were placed several spiritual fruits offered by the spirits in the mountains, as well as two cups of spiritual milk condensed by the spiritual energy of the earth veins.

"Dao Chief, please." Liu Yuyan said that she has gradually adjusted her mentality, from a ghost who is controlled by others and can't help herself, to a mountain god.

Lin Yi picked up the stone cup on the table and drank it all.

In the leyline spiritual milk, in addition to the abundant aura, there is also a kind of earth virtue, carrying the Tao rhyme of all things.

This is the most precious thing about this object.

Lin Yi closed his eyes and quietly realized the mystery.

After a while, he opened his eyes and praised, "The things created by heaven and earth are really extraordinary. ”

Liu Yuyan said with a smile: "If the Taoist chief likes it, he might as well build a Taoist temple in the mountain, so that he can enjoy the spiritual milk of the earth veins every month." ”

Lin Yi shook his head slightly, and admonished: "The leyline spirit milk is the essence of the earth's creation, it is extraordinary, even if you are a mountain god, you can't collect it at will, otherwise you will lose your way to heaven and earth, and there will be great difficulties." ”

Liu Yuyan responded "yes" in a low voice, and secretly scolded the wooden man in front of him in his heart.

Three days later, Lin Yi left Cuiping Mountain and continued to walk towards Zhongzhou.

Under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty, first-order monks needed to go to the county to participate in the assessment, second-order monks had to report to the hundreds of colleges in the state, and third-order monks corresponded to the hundred schools in the capital.

After reporting, you can enjoy many benefits and get generous treatment.

Although this rule has not been explicitly stipulated and is not enforced, it has long become a conventional thing with the precipitation of thousands of years.

………………

Zhongzhou, the imperial capital, and the capital.

Ships full of all kinds of guests, goods, and food, from up and down the long river, and even by ocean, sailed into the imperial capital South Lake.

This is the national blood transfusion, the jujube of Anyi, the orange of Jiangling, the lacquer of Chen Xia, the hemp of Qilu, the ginger and the guigao grain, the silk silk cloth, the mackerel, the turtle and the abalone, the stuffed salt and soy bean, the rice and wheat grains and ......, all from the waterway to the imperial capital, this kind of vivid noise, can still be heard from ten miles away.

And the more the land official road on the shore goes, the more there is a continuous branch of the road to intersect, all the way to the west, the main road is constantly widening, there are 100 steps wide, but the road is still crowded, oxen, horses and vehicles, pedestrians, caravans, caravans, eunuchs and magnates, ......, everything.

There are too many people from all over the world gathered here.

The flow of people and vehicles was rolling, and the ants were as black as pressing forward, and a jade belt appeared on the horizon in the distance, which was everyone's destination, Shangjing.

This city is connected to the land of the nine heavens, which is the center of the world, the head of the dragon vein, the heart of the imperial dynasty, and the dragon court of Great Xia...... Too many beautiful words have been passed down all over the world, and the glorious halo has attracted countless people to rush into chasing their dreams.

In the wide river, on a boat, Lin Yi stood at the bow of the boat, facing the cool breeze in the early morning, enjoying the lively scenes around him.

Different strengths, different mentalities, and naturally different things are seen.

Along the way, there are few big cities on both sides of the river, and most of them are small counties and towns with less than 20,000 or 30,000 people, but they are very characteristic and engaged in a certain handicraft industry, and the scale is not bad.

Some were steel workshops in a row, and large hydraulic hammers were roaring under the impetus of the water flow and formation, and the sound was like thunder for miles.

Newly made farming tools, pots, kettles, sharp blades, scissors and needles are all transported to the docks, reflecting the light in the faint morning sun.

Thousands of large and small ox carts stopped in front of the mills, weaving mills, embroidery mills, and garment mills to transport the fine cloth and clothes made by the female workers......

At the same time, there are bags of grain and rice that are resisted by the servants, up and down between the boat and the wharf, and the vegetable farmers who are walking like flies carry their burdens up from the fields, and the fresh vegetables are still shining with crystal dewdrops.

This is the pinnacle of the immortal version of the agricultural society, under the aggregation effect of the Dao Fa Feixun, the surrounding states and counties under the radiation of the imperial capital are not only developed in agriculture, but also in industry and commerce, and a huge network has also evolved.

With the long river waterways and large and small canals as the meridians, the huge industrial and commercial network combining points and noodles is a commercial area with many shops and shops popularized in the center of each city.

Especially on the ground of Gyeonggi, professional handicraft towns are built along large and small rivers to take advantage of water conservancy, as a large-scale node to provide services for the capital and exchange goods with other states and counties, so as to support the foundation of the lives of countless people in the imperial capital.

Carrying industry exchanges, the main waterway is busy, and the merchant boats must line up, just fifty miles of waterway, the line stops, and it is not until late at night that it enters the imperial capital South Lake.

Nanhu Lake is a large, deep-water lake, with an irregular elliptical 30-mile embankment that has almost been converted into a wharf and a dock.

Lin Yi paid the last part of the boat fare and got off the boat and set foot on the land of the imperial capital.

Approaching the pier, I saw two lights hanging not far away, shining brightly.

Not far away, the teahouse was still open, and six or seven people were sitting in it drinking tea, smoking cigarettes, and chatting with melon seeds. In the distance, you can see the continuous streets and alleys, and all kinds of green house restaurants are bright at night.

From time to time, a noble son passed by, saw Lin Yi wearing a robe, nodded and smiled, and went straight to the high-rise building with his concubine, and saw the feast and drinking, the silk pipe was boiling, and there were even a few scholars, relying on the railing to sing to each other across the streets and alleys.

Another sound of hooves was fierce, horses neighed, a large number of people roared from the embankment, gorgeous clothes loomed under the weeping willows, and even women happily followed the horses.

The prosperity of the imperial capital really deserves its name.

This is the life of a mortal!

Lin Yi walked casually, admiring the style of the southern suburbs of the imperial capital.

After stepping into the third order, the closer the monk is to the immortal, the farther away he is from the person, but a mortal heart can never be lost, because that is the initial beginning.

The next day, Lin Yi entered the city. South Lake is surrounded by just suburbs.

After passing through the two city gates, and the urn city between the city gates, there is a long straight street with a width of 100 steps, new taverns, old teahouses, high and low eaves overlapped, pedestrians are dense, shops open windows and doors to welcome customers, and dense stalls selling all kinds of groceries, fresh fruits and vegetables.

The rarest thing is that there are old trees everywhere, either on the side of the road, or in the courtyard, or on the corner of the street.

Lin Yi went all the way to the north of the city, the Baijia School Palace is located on a large lake, the water surface is smooth as a mirror, there is a small island in the center of the lake, the bamboo forest pavilion is on it, and the attic is continuous.

Looking from afar, only to see several corridors leading to the middle, the white marble fence stone bridge twists and turns, the buildings here are half on the island, half on the water, exquisitely arranged, vertical and horizontal.
