Seven Star Lake.

Fang Tian stood on the edge of the island, quietly looking at the lake, and occasionally, he changed his perspective and looked at the light and water of the sky.

The rain finally fell.

Like last year, the rain at the beginning of the rainy season is still very lingering, the whole world, water and fog are intertwined, the rain is not big, but it is better than dense and continuous. It is said that such rain is most likely to produce large areas of negative ions, which freshen the air.

This thought flashed in Fang Tian's consciousness at the beginning of the rain, but instead made him shake his head and smile, in this world, the air was already fresh enough, I really didn't care about this form of icing on the cake.

Therefore, this "flower" is not added to the air, but falls on the water.

The small flowers bloomed on the surface of the water, but they were disturbed by the lake water that kept flowing, making Fang Tian seem to see the suburbs in spring, thousands of nameless small flowers swaggering in the spring breeze.

At this time last year, the rain brought him bleakness and hesitation.

At this time of the year, the rain has only brought him calm and peace.

Fang Tian was originally just watching quietly, but looking at it, I don't know what was going on, this rain seemed to not only fall on the surface of the lake, but also on the lake of his heart, and then, under an inexplicable traction, the qi and blood in his entire body, like the rain outside, were flowing.

It was as if the sky was above his head, and his body was the heaven and earth.

Qi and blood are like rain, from top to bottom, making his world become misty and empty.

If there is a down, there must be an up, so that it is a cycle, and the upper is also the same as this one, subtle and lingering.

Unconsciously, Fang Tian's entire physical and mental feelings also became subtle. At the same time, he felt as if he had disappeared, and his own small world of body and mind, because of the synchronization, seemed to merge with the heaven and earth outside.

"Pale yellow as clothes, heaven and earth like sleeves. If you can collect the world in your heart, you can let go of the heaven and the earth. In this way, even if you are confined to one well, you can get a big world. ”

These are the words that Fang Tian carved on the stone wall of the well last year. At that time, from this point of view, he was not a real cultivator, so these words were not the words of cultivation. The enlightenment of cultivation is only based on a psychological feeling at the level of ordinary people.

But at this time. Fang Tian felt that his body and mind at this time were actually responding to this sentence. It not only "collects the world in the heart", but also "puts the world in the world".

Is this the so-called "unity of heaven and man" in ancient China in the previous life?

Fang Tian didn't know.

At present, the root and purpose of spiritual practice, as well as the path, are no mystery to him. But he didn't know anything about the road on this path, and he didn't have any secret records to check or a teacher to tell him. Therefore, for the physical and mental state at this time, he is worthy of the name "knowing what it is", but not knowing its "why it is".

But then again, it doesn't really matter if you don't know "why" or not.

Step by step, what you should know, you will always know in the future. It's like when he looks back at this time, he knows everything behind him.

If you are a mage, you must know about apprenticeship.

If it is Dafa, you must know the things of the Master.

If it is a holy place, you must know the great rituals.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, it is not necessary to know what the scenery is like on the top of the mountain, but when he really reaches the top of the mountain, he can look at it as far as the eye can see.

At that time, all you could see was the scenery.

A faint thought floated by, and then, Fang Tian's mind was vast, like this day, like this earth, and in his body, qi and blood flowed, like this lake, like this rain, slowly, he really entered the state of "neither heaven nor earth, nor self".

When Andy and Xiyan returned to the island, they saw this scene.

They saw their elder, standing quietly by the lake, standing in the rain, without a single elemental fluctuation around him, just like ordinary people, the rain, unobstructed, drenched the garment, the man.

In fact, they passed by the edge of the island, but it was not until they had landed on the island that they were so surprised that they saw a man standing there quietly, only a hundred and ten paces away from them!

In other words, if there was a slight deviation in the previous teleportation, they might even teleport directly to that person's side.

But how is this possible?

Maybe at the level of their mage, when they sensed it from afar before, they didn't perceive anyone here. Not to mention people, not even a single grass is perceived! In the elemental induction, here, there should be nothing,

In the past, Fang Tianyou had disappeared from their induction, and it was just surprise at that time, but at this time, when they really encountered what happened just now, the two of them knew what it meant.

The shock and numbness of the two of them were only instantaneous, just like suddenly seeing the undead in broad daylight, but after that moment, the two of them were immediately attracted by Fang Tian's figure at this time.

An indescribable feeling.

Andy felt ashamed of himself.

Xiyan felt that he was useless all over his body.

At the same time, the two of them felt at the same time that the elemental fluctuations around them were so chaotic and impetuous, in the past, they could only feel powerful, as a mage, but at this time, that strength seemed to be washed away by the rain between heaven and earth, and disappeared cleanly.

The rest, only clutter, only impetuousness.

Xiyan even felt that his breath and heartbeat were a little chaotic, and there was an indescribable awkwardness, in short, a feeling that something was very wrong. Not only that, but even the posture in which he was standing at this time, Xiyan felt that something was wrong, very wrong, a look that urgently needed to be adjusted.

But the feeling only lasted for a short time, so short that the two of them even suspected that it was just an illusion.

And the reason why the time is so short is that the person has already turned around, smiled and said to the two, "You two, are you back?"

Andy and Xiyan sighed at the same time in their hearts.

Although they didn't know what was going on just now, the two of them knew, and knew very clearly that just now, they had encountered an unimaginable and incomprehensible opportunity, but this opportunity was fleeting.

I don't know if there will be any more in the future.

Putting away his sigh, Andy took a slight move, and he had already come to Fang Tian's side, bowed slightly and saluted, "I've seen Your Highness!"

Xi Yan did as he did, but after seeing the salute, he said: "Your Highness, I don't know if it is convenient for you at this time, I want to report to you on the situation of the investigation in the past few days." ”

A moment later, there were five people seated.

All five members of the association are currently on the island, Andy, Eric, Pat, Xi Yan, and Fang Tian.

Or by the stone table.

If nothing happens, this place, near the center of the island, will be the place where everyone will gather and talk for a short period of time.

This bit of rain will certainly not be an obstacle for several mages, and Fang Tian, who was drenched in the rain before, had already recovered as usual the moment he turned around, but at this time, this Excellency was still taking on the role of a tea boy, frying tea for everyone.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Eric and Pat, Xiyan told Fang Tian about the investigation.

Not long ago, Fang Tian was like a goddess scattering flowers, scattering all the things that he thought were important or worthy of attention in the jurisdiction of Yanhuang New Town, and scattered them to the hands of everyone in the association, and entrusted everyone to go to various places to do some investigations for him.

And Xi Yan was appointed by Fang Tian to investigate the production and marketing of salt in the Yanhuang City area and even in the Nine Cities.

Salt, in the previous life, in Fang Tianlai's era, was no longer worth mentioning.

Although this thing is a necessity of life, whether rich or poor, everyone needs it, but Zhenxin no longer has any status. And the reason for not having a status is that this thing has become extremely easy to produce.

In China, a slightly large-scale production line can be pulled out and produced at full capacity for one year, which is enough for more than a billion people to use it for ten or even a hundred years.

Moreover, salt is not afraid of being bad, if you really want to hoard it, there is no problem at all in hoarding it for a hundred years, it is completely trivial. Therefore, in that era, edible salt was completely a fraction of the salt production system, and all kinds of industrial salt was the big one.

In such a situation, how can domestic salt, or edible salt, still have a status?

Even though it is really important, and so important that it is indispensable, like sunlight, air, and water, it also loses its urgency precisely because it has become as abundant and seemingly ubiquitous as sunshine, air, and water.

In Fang Tianlai's era, it was only said that the intake of salt in daily life should be controlled, and that it should not or should not be excessive, but no one said that this salt should be cherished and used sparingly.

The era of saving salt is over.

In fact, something like this indispensable but not self-sufficient is really easy for ordinary people to get stuck. Housing, gas, tuition, and even the "monthly function fee" of the phone card all fall into this category.

salt, but has been excluded.

But in ancient times, before the emergence of a large industrial system, and in the era when transportation and transportation were extremely underdeveloped, salt was also a part of the people's stuck.

Even, the salt industry is related to the rise and fall of the country.

However, in fact, Fang Tian asked Xiyan to investigate the production and marketing of salt in the Yanhuangcheng area, in addition to considering the importance of salt in this social environment, there was actually another reason, that is, when he first came to this world, the salt in the Fenglin compound impressed him too much.

There are too many impurities, and the animals that are so inferior that they may not want to eat them in the previous life, this is one of them.

The price is not cheap, even the Fenglin Mercenary Group, which is low-end and stingy, but it is also one of the forces of the head snake in the land, needs to "save a little use", so it is conceivable that for the ordinary people of this world, salt is already a "big expense".

Fang Tian had actually always been a little confused.

In the previous life, many people who lived near the sea area directly dried the sea water and got salt, and even did not even need to dry it.

Just take a broom and sweep it, what to dry!

Could it be that salt can't be obtained from the sea here? (To be continued......
