Chapter 25: Encounter

When a team of armor soldiers arrived, they saw the bright weapons held in front of them, and everyone dispersed in a hurry.

The two of them got up, snorted and waved their sleeves at each other, and the other smiled at the armorer, and took out a handful of copper to give to the shopkeeper to apologize.

"There is no need to do this, the dishes, tables and chairs are all fine, and a few people can also put their efforts away if they want to."

The man was stunned when he heard this, and then looked around and found that as the store said, the wooden table that collided before and the dishes and chopsticks that were torn off and fell were all intact.

Luckily.

He confessed again, and immediately took the two of them away.

A good show is over, and after the armor priest leaves the tea shop, the room will soon resume lively, but Chen Yu has already gotten up and walked away, no longer paying attention.

Los Angeles occupies a large area, and the four square urban areas of the east, west, north and south have their own uses, for example, the north side is dominated by large merchants, and to the east of Xiushui Bridge is a spacious house, in which the people are either rich or expensive.

In addition to the east and north, the west of the other two is close to the mouth of the Xiushui River, and the surging water flows into the river, and a port was built a few decades ago, and there are cargo ships coming and going, but the number of ships in the last two years has been much less, and it is not as prosperous as in previous years.

Now it is jointly controlled by several river gangs, and most of them are ordinary fishermen.

There are three small towns outside the south city, extending in all directions, so there are many foreign tourists, or sojourn, or to avoid trouble, all come from the south and live in the south city.

His settled residence is in the south of the city, a secluded courtyard, a little dilapidated and old, but fortunately, it is still harmless to clean one or two, and there is no obstacle in daily life.

Chen Yu, who left the tea shop, did not return immediately, but searched all the way and continued to wander around the city.

I have heard that there is a first-class flower meeting in Jinzhou, and all cities and prefectures will hold it, and the meandering water will flow and the tourists will be extremely grand.

It's a pity that we can't see it now, and we will have to wait for a few months, and with the current turmoil, it is probably difficult to reproduce the rumored grand scene.

He walked and looked, and after a while, he grabbed a string of yellow circles in his hand, which looked similar to the sugar gourd in the previous life, but the taste was worse, and the sugar juice was slightly astringent, but some dried nuts were mashed inside, which accidentally neutralized the sourness and astringency, and was more mellow and sweet.

When he took a bite, the upper end was round, soft and sticky, and after another bite, it became crispy again, his eyes lit up, and he took a few more strings with his big hand.

"The Gongsun family became famous in a state sixty years ago, and now it is even more prestigious."

As I walked, I passed by a large compound. Paused for a moment in front of two huge stone lions.

On the side, there is a white-bearded old man on the side who is in good spirits, holding up a hanging cloth, writing a few words on the fate of feng shui, and a few white bowls in front of him.

"In these troubled times, Xiaoyou can find a backer for a good life, and it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, otherwise the weapon will have no eyes when the turmoil arises."

The words are full of exhortation and kindness. Seeing that he didn't answer, the old man thought he was moved, so he approached and quietly touched and continued to speak.

"But there are no idlers in the world, and if the idle people don't have some real skills, it is impossible to worship the disciples."

Then there is how turbulent the world is, how dark the future is, and the endless natural and man-made disasters, and the last mouth of the seal hall is blackened and the blood is shining.

"The old man has a long heritage, studied under the Zhenwu Mountain Liang Yu Zhenda practice, is the fourth generation of Zhenwu disciples, and now travels through the red dust of the world, seeing the little friend's face, it must be related to my Zhenwu!"

After a pause, the old man looked sideways a few times, and slowly revealed his purpose:

"Zhenwu Mountain has the means to catch the wind and settle the water, and can leave the fate, if the little brother is willing, only a little silver, one hundred and twenty dollars can be awarded to the old man a feng shui ability, and it is guaranteed that he can worship the grandson and everyone to be a guest.

Chen Yu's face was strange, and the old man was still selling his feng shui skills, and he took out one book at a time, and in his mouth they were all secrets and peerless treasures.

He almost laughed, although he was young, he didn't look like a three-year-old child, and the other party was too foolish.

A few words in my heart, shaking my head and refusing the feng shui magic tricks that the old man took out of his arms, these thin booklets obviously did some means, the outside looked quaint at first glance, but unfortunately the spirit swept away to know that the inside was clearly brand-new.

"Eh! Don't go! There are also seventy-two folded plums in the Lingxuan Palace of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the hanging clouds of the Yuqiong Temple. The old man in the room is also proficient! ”

“……”

Chen Yu walked away quickly, the old man was a nonsense, all the 'cheats' on the other party had already been known to him, but unfortunately none of them were genuine, but it seems that he still deceived a lot of people, otherwise he would not have stayed here and waited for the next one to come to the door.

"The Feng Shui of Zhenwu Mountain...... Tsk, unless Yu Qimeng's old cultivator went to a fake martial arts at the beginning. ”

I feel more and more funny in my heart, you must know that the cultivation of Zhenwu Mountain has only risen in recent decades, and as for the mountain rune, it has never been involved.

After walking around, two hours have passed, and the four cities have been visited, Chen Yu is not completely idle, he is also paying attention to some anecdotes, including Qian Xuanzhong and Yuanyangmen, as well as various news from the teahouse and restaurant that are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

In addition to inquiring, he also paid attention to the places in Los Angeles where there might be interior locations.

After searching for a few hours, I finally realized at a quaint stone bridge that I used a spell to cover my body and stepped into it, but it was a world where the sky and water were upside down.

"Bizarre! It's different from all the previous interiors! ”

This is an interior location that Chen Yu has never seen, I don't know if it is related to the flow of water, the scene of the reflection of the beautiful water is reversed in the interior scene, flowing in the sky, and the foot is the familiar dark hollow.

The four fields were so gray that even the river above their heads was extremely dim, and there was a spiritual light in the quiet world, which sank from a high place and was swallowed up by a pitch-black void.

Obviously, this is an interior that is about to be extinguished and shattered. Similar to the ones I saw when I was in Qingtai Mountain.

It is very different from the interior locations of Yining, Tongzhou and other places.

"The heaven and the earth are upside down, the rivers are flying in the sky, these special expressions may also be related to the fact that the interior scene is about to sink, and some of the deeper essences are changing and distorting, so the reflected scenery is amazing."

Chen Yu tried to touch it, but the river was solid, and like the rest of the interior scenes, it was immovable, completely dead.

He looked around, muttered a little, and stepped back.

"The new spirit is still being reforged, and the spirit that can be called at the moment is limited, and there is no guarantee that it can move freely in the interior location."

The left and right interior scenes couldn't run away, Chen Yu was not in a hurry, and after noting down the location of this place, he continued to look for it in the city.

There are many factors that contribute to the formation of the interior location, and according to his observations, it can be roughly related to whether the people are rich or not, and whether the history is long.

However, not many places with a long heritage can encounter interior locations, and not every interior location can find secret treasures.

"Speaking of which, the spirituality of the body was cocooned into a mouthful of sacs, and I haven't paid attention to it for a long time, but I don't know what is happening now."

He had seen a spiritual cocoon wrapped around the outside of the body in that special interior brought by Cao Dan, with traces of silence on the outside, and brewing on the inside, and he didn't know what could be born.

Chen Yu invested a lot of things in the process, and later found that the ground secret treasure powder had the most obvious effect on the growth of the cocoon, but because the secret treasure at hand was really limited, he rarely cared about it over time.

At this time, he remembered that he wanted to go and see it, but entering there required grass pill as a support, and it was a great burden on the spirit, and a little activity would consume a lot of strength, and he really had no spare energy for a while.

With a sigh, Cao Dan has been planted a lot on Qingtai Mountain, but with the successive cultivation and growth of various spiritual plants, it has been idle for a long time.

After that, it was rare to cultivate again, but the spirit plants such as weeds and mountain mangs had been cultivated for the second time, and the Yuan Spirit Root had been invested in the spirit machine for the third time not long ago.

"Fortunately, I brought seeds with me before leaving, so I could plant some in the wonders...... Forget it, it's better to plant it on the floating field first, the wonder scene is still filling in the remaining eighty percent of the area, and it may not continue to change during the period, and planting spiritual plants may have an impact. ”

After walking around the city, he discovered two interior locations in two other locations with his keen perception, and Chen Yu also noted down the locations and temporarily gave up the exploration, waiting for the new Yuan Shen to be successfully cast.

In addition to looking for the interior scene, he 'accidentally' met Jiang Qin'an and Yue Haiping, who had just entered the city, on the way to the Dongcheng area.

The two of them were dressed simply, with a simple blue and gray robe on the outside and soft armor on the inside, and the texture seemed to be not bad, and they didn't know where they got it.

The dragon walked and the tiger walked, the two people had martial arts, Chen Yu first took advantage of the conversation to check the seed of the primordial god that had been put into their bodies in the Nameless Mountain Great Array, but the result was already silent, it should have been too long, and it was not replenished for several months, so it disappeared and dissipated by itself.

The two of them also failed to condense their spirits and awaken themselves, but looking at their muscles and bones and tenacious membranes, especially Yue Hai's feet and waist and arms seem to echo between his steps, and the internal organs in his body also have the strength to tremble and temper at all times.

The latter has made a big step in the interaction between the dragon and the tiger, and the kung fu has become more and more profound.

As for Daoist Jiang, he also did not waste time, and he did not see it for several months, but he actually crossed the Tongjin Dacheng in one fell swoop, and he was only half a step away from stepping into the second-rate dragon and tiger realm like his senior brother.

"Congratulations to Brother Dao, the art of protecting the Dao has been perfected, and it is much more refined than when it was in the Pingcheng Festival."

"Where is it, Chen Daoyou Tianyuan is full and strong, and he is the rising star of Shiya."

There were two sentences of praise for each other, and the three of them were straightforward, so they found a restaurant nearby, and after opening the room, they called a table of tea and food, and chatted about the recent situation.

Jiang Qin'an had contact with Chen Yu several times, and even sent a book to the Yunhe Temple of Qingtai Mountain, and not long ago invited him to go down the mountain to eliminate bandits, which is considered to be familiar with the character of this young Taoist.

"It is unexpected that Daoyou will walk down from Qingtai Mountain this time and cross thousands of miles to Luocheng, Jinzhou."

Daoist Jiang took a sip of the tea bowl, and the gloom on this face's face dissipated a lot, and it was rare to outline a little smile.

Yue Haiping also smiled and agreed, along the way, he often heard his older junior brother mention that there is a Taoist temple in Qingtai Mountain in Shiya County, which has a long heritage, and the master is a young junior, the skill of protecting the Tao is exquisite, and the reason of the Tao is not inferior to others.

Warm and polite, most of them are willing to live alone in the mountains and cultivate.

"Poor road down the mountain this time but quiet and extremely thoughtful, along the way to the heart of a lot of feelings, I wanted to go to the Central Plains Zhenwu, Zhengyang and other big veins of the Taoist school to see, on the way happened to hear that Jinzhou has ten methods, I know that I can't miss it, so I came here."

Chen Yu said casually, he is indeed very quiet, but the ten methods will be nothing to him now, and the harvest will not be too much, the reason why he is waiting for the Dharma meeting here is more to select some good seedlings, if there are people who are born with strong spirituality, or who are outstanding in their roots, qi and blood, they may be able to pass down some Dharma chapters, so that the way of cultivation can bloom on this land.

It also paves the way forward.

Now, with the opening of the blood aperture, the condensation of the wonders, and the recasting and solidification of the primordial spirit, his path ahead of his self-created method has some eyebrows, and he no longer bumbles around like headless flies like in the past.

It's just that it is still difficult to find out the broad road that can really go far from all kinds of clues, unless there can be more Yu Qimeng and jointly open up.

The two people on the other side naturally didn't know much about what Chen Yu was thinking, but they also knew the name of the Ten Law Society, and it was rumored that it was very grand, and the two people also came for this.

I only heard Jiang Qin'an say: "From entering Jinzhou all the way to Los Angeles, they are all talking about this matter, and I heard that there are big factions involved in the organization, and the walks of Zhenwu and Zhengyang may come to an end." ”

"There is also Wufeng Mountain, saying that people will also come."

Yue Haiping added.

Wufeng Mountain, also located in the territory of Nanliang, is one of the five great schools in the world, practicing the combination of gas and evil and the mountain charm method of catching wind and water.

Bong to hold the real one.

Chen Yu made a little recollection, and in his memory, the so-called Five Great Dao Sects were mainly recognized by the world, including Zhenwu, Zhengyang, and Wufeng in Southern Liang, as well as Yuqiong and Lingxuan in Northern Qi.

Not long ago, the old man was swaggering and deceiving in the name of the latter two, and it was difficult for others to verify, after all, the Northern Qi Dynasty is now facing off against Daliang, separated by tens of thousands of miles, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, and with the other party's mouth that can speak, he fell into the Tao in a daze.

Among the four great avenues of Taiping, Zhenyi, Qingwei, and Qianyang, only the Taiping Dao only blooms everywhere in the middle and lower levels, and the Taoists of the five sects are rarely involved.

As for the four major Dharma schools, they are not so clearly divided, such as Zhenwu Mountain, although it is said that it adheres to the pure and micro path based on the pure and clear law, but the real cultivation is the Hesha method, and the pure light is also there, but in terms of prosperity, it is not even as good as the Danding Dharma school that opens up a single peak in the mountain.

Speaking of which, if you really want to trace back to the Yunhe Temple where he was born, there is still a trace of origin with the Lingxuan Palace of Northern Qi.

Today's atmosphere in the Daomen is to be in harmony, the pure light is gradually silent, the Danding is in the ascendant, the mountain charm is like a fire cooking oil - and the uproar of the Taiping Road is the handful of oil stars poured in the pot.

Hearing that all the three major sects in Daliang were going to attend the meeting, Chen Yu was curious for a while, what was the difference between this festival?

asked the two people in front of him, Jiang Qinan shook his head, saying that he and the others were not clear, and most of them were hearsay. Yue Haiping had some speculations, but he was a little uncertain, so he didn't say much.

Several people chatted, from south to north, in the past few months, Jiang Qinan followed his senior brother through mountains and mountains, wading across rivers, and saw and heard a lot.

So much so that when facing the old knowledge on the table, he couldn't help but be indignant, or hated the temple officials, or mourned the misfortune of the people below.

“…… Senior brother and I went to Dongping, and walked the waterway with the boatman's family. Blocked! The floating corpse is high! ”

"Walking to the Wangqiao and crossing the Nanlin Mansion, the result is that there is not one out of ten farmers, the fields are barren, and the jackals with green eyes are rampant."

"The Moon Capture Pass has not been repaired for a long time, and the local garrison is rotten inside and out, and it is actually the important town pass that has been handed over to a group of bandits!"

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, and the food is no longer only attached to the book, it really falls in front of you."

"Too much, too much chaos! This is only a few states in the west, after stepping into the Central Plains, I thought it would be better, but it turned out that Yunzhou and Tongzhou were also unbearable, and a group of unscrupulous green skins dared to carry out murder with knives! Rampant in the countryside to do evil! ”

Chen Yu listened, and also had an understanding of this, he had encountered a lot of things along the way, some of which were dealt with easily, and some of which were late, and the thieves only left a ruined wall mixed with bloodstains, which made people angry.

In fact, the bandits are still secondary, there are very few officials like Jinzhou, and when it comes to the political system, not to mention the entire beam, at least more than seventy percent of the places are quietly on the verge of collapse.

Officials are not officials, the people are not people, and people are not treated as people, so everything is in chaos.

The reason why it is still difficult to maintain the last dignity is because Jianye took it back not long ago, and the anti-thief rebel army was pacified and wiped out.

The east wind is rising, and some people are still the same. I'm afraid that this wind will blow not only the old dreams, but also the inexhaustible wildfires, just waiting for a little spark to ignite, maybe it will completely detonate this huge powder keg.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes to look out the window, and through the carved wooden window, the air seemed to see the imperial city in the distance, which was baptized by swords, guns and arrows.

and the people in the city who indulge in dreams of fighting for power and profit.

Inexplicably, Chen Yu felt that that day would not be too long.
