Chapter 100: Daozi
Michiko
After ten years of development, Haizhou boundary, especially Haizhou City, has already changed greatly and entered a new stage of development.
Matthew was too lazy to disturb the normal life of the fishmen, he turned into a long-lost fishman form, hiding behind his back, and carefully observing this fishman society.
After Matthew's maturation, the social and cultural form of the Fish-Man tribe has grown rapidly on the soil of Chinese culture. After ten years of brewing, it has produced its own unique fruits.
I saw that on the clean and tidy bluestone streets of Haizhou City, there were many fish people walking bustlingly, they were dressed in Hanfu style, which was a bit nondescript in Matthew's opinion, but the fish people themselves did not feel it, they combined their own aesthetics, and made a small modification of the wide Hanfu, which was closer to the body shape of the fish people. The material of the clothes is also very special, all of which are woven from special seaweed, which is dustproof and waterproof.
From the top of the clothing, it can be seen that the fish-man clan has slowly begun to have a difference in wealth and status, which is much more obvious than when Matthew came, different fish-people, the clothes on the body are still different, although the material is the same, but some fish-people's clothes are very complex The process of weaving is very complex, forming a beautiful pattern, and some fish-people even use colorful aquatic plants to weave clothes, this scarce clothing, at a glance, is only owned by local tyrants or those in power.
Fish people are not completely terrestrial creatures, they can't live without water.
At that time, when Matthew built Haizhou City, he took this into account, and in the underground of Haizhou City, he excavated complex waterways, and traveled through these waterways, which were also an important mode of transportation for the fish people.
At the key nodes of every important street in Haizhou City, there are open waterway entrances and exits, and from time to time there are fishmen drilling in and out of the holes. These waterways are more important than the subway, and the fish are moving quickly and efficiently in the water.
After so many years of evolution, the fish people have also developed perfect rules of traffic in the waterways, which makes Matthew find very interesting.
Matthew observes that all waterways are allowed to go in only one direction, that they are all one-way streets, and that all the fishmen follow the signs in an orderly manner. In addition, the corridors used for freight and passenger transport are also separated and do not affect each other.
Taoism, founded by Matthew, has also shown a profound influence in the daily life of the fish people.
Under the influence of Matthew, when Taoism was established, all the high-level of the fish-man clan were integrated into it, and the promotion system was formulated according to the contribution to the sect.
In the daily behavior of the fish people, you can also see a lot of traces of Taoism, Matthew can see that in the conversation of the fish people, you can often hear exclamations such as "Haotian God" and "Luo Tian Shangxian".
Matthew lingered in this fish-man society for three days before he finally took his heart back.
In the process, Matthew obtained a lot of first-hand information, and he grasped the changes in the fish-man society more accurately, and by exerting influence in some aspects, Matthew could completely adjust the direction of the entire fish-man clan according to his own ideas. However, it is also a good direction for Matthew to let the fish people evolve on their own, and maybe there will be some unexpected changes that will surprise Matthew.
After observing, Matthew's goal was achieved, he no longer hid his presence, and a flash appeared in an ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is built entirely on a water level, and the ancestral hall is lit with strange incense, which makes people feel refreshed. Eight young fishmen sat together and exchanged questions.
These eight people are the eight Taoists screened by Matthew in Haizhou back then, named according to Matthew. These eight people are named Gou Chen, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang.
Matthew released the "stealth technique" and slowly approached the eight people, only to feel that after not seeing each other in the past few years, the eight Taoists have undergone earth-shaking changes.
In addition to their physical growth, the temperament of these eight people is very unique. Through the perennial study of literature and cultivation, the eight people have cultivated a strong Taoist rhyme, only to see their eyes are clear, their eyes are smart, their skin reveals a faint luster, and there is a high-spirited vitality hidden in these eight people, so that Matthew feels as transparent as jade, and he is very satisfied.
In the previous world, under the influence of the materialistic social atmosphere, even the great sects that had been passed down for thousands of years could hardly cultivate such excellent Taoist disciples.
As Matthew approached, his hidden figure seemed to have touched the spiritual sense of these eight Daoists, everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of Matthew, and one of them said, "Who?" Everyone looked surprised, their spiritual sense obviously felt that there was someone over there, but all their senses couldn't find it, this was an experience they had never had.
After discovering that he was being detected, Matthew stopped hiding and showed himself in front of everyone.
When the eight Taoists noticed the figure in front of them, they instantly recognized Matthew, knelt down, and said, "Meet the master! Master, you are finally back!"
Calmly accepting the worship of the disciples, Matthew summoned the eight people and began to inquire little by little about the situation in the entire Haizhou border in the past few years.
After Matthew left, the entire Haizhou realm was still slowly operating under his guidance, and the work of urban construction, education popularization, promotion of Taoist culture, and development of basic industries was slowly conquered one by one under the efforts of many fishmen.
By now, the entire Fish-Man race has been completely civilized, and it can be called a civilized race.
The eight Daozi were not deeply involved in the specific transactional work, and they spent more of their energy on studying the Daozang and cultivating the "Book of Refining the Body" and the "Taishang Anzhen Nine Spirit Dragon Divine Sutra" handed down by Matthew.
Just now, they were exchanging their learning experiences with each other.
When Matthew asked about the progress of the cultivation of the "Taishang'an Town Nine Spirit Dragon Divine Sutra", these young people bowed down in front of Matthew guiltily, it turned out that for so many years, they had not made any breakthrough progress in the cultivation of this set of exercises, just because they had insisted on cultivating for many years and cultivated a keen spiritual sense, which was more or less effective.
Matthew wasn't too surprised by the result, with the current state of the laws of the Haizhou Realm, it was not enough to give birth to the power of the Dao Law, but the learning experience of the Daoists was still very useful to Matthew.
