"Fish pond farming" has a corresponding relationship with spiritual practice? Zhao Qing thought in his heart, could it be that the fish pond was equivalent to the inner heaven and earth of the cultivators of the "Six Qi Realm", and the fish raised was equivalent to the Dao rhyme produced inside? So, the image of "that friend" is actually just a general reference?

"The technique of fish farming that I just mentioned is actually a microcosm of the way to govern the country." Wen Zi glanced at her and the ape father, and said earnestly: "The distinction between the six qi is like the government of the state, which needs to be the largest in the realm and the way of the holy king, so that the best results can be achieved. ”

"A heaven and earth universe, including the inner heaven and earth of the practitioner, their masters, or the corresponding 'heavenly dao', are equivalent to the operators of the 'fish pond', and can be regarded as the monarch of a country; And the Tao method of the six qi of yin and yang is the important technique of developing the national economy......"

"There are ways to make money, and there should be ways to spend money." Zhao Qing asked out loud: "So, can different fish pond owners, for example, this world and one of the high-level cultivators conduct some kind of 'trade' with each other?" ”

Looking at her with appreciative eyes, Fumiko smiled slightly and explained, "That's true. And the currency they use in the transaction process is the so-called 'Dao Yun', a kind of equivalent that can be called universal in all worlds, in exchange for the majestic power and special authority of the other party's heaven and earth. ”

"The endless chaotic void, the heavens and all the worlds, in my opinion, can be regarded as a fish pond of different sizes and development levels, and the fish pond 'masters' carry out a fair and just, orderly 'Dao Yun' transaction, and because the fish ponds representing a heaven and earth have different stages of development, the total output, cost price, and transaction price of fish are also different."

"As long as you can pay a sufficient price, objects will always fall from high to low, things lighter than water will float up from the water, and the birth, aging, sickness and death of people, animals and plants, etc., these immutable laws of heaven and earth in the eyes of ordinary people are not absolute rules that cannot be changed......

"At this stage of the 'Six Qi' realm, when you practice, you will be honored with the virtue of the Holy King and the government of the Holy King, and the small 'fish pond' of the initial low-level will be able to develop to a higher stage, becoming more and more perfect, producing more and more fish, and you can earn more 'Dao Yun'......"

Zhao Qing's heart was shocked, and Wenzi's words made her suddenly enlightened, bringing her a new perspective on cultivation:

Viewing the acquisition of power through cultivation as a kind of commercial trade with the outside world, and using the method of governing the country to guide the cultivation of the "Six Qi" realm and above is undoubtedly a very valuable way of thinking, which is very much in line with the identity of the other party's Ji Ran family and Huang Lao Taoist.

According to Wenzi's theory of the stage of development of the fish pond and the national system, it is obviously an advanced stage of "ruling by inaction", so that "heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs", so that the creatures in heaven and earth cannot perceive the subjective intention of "heavenly dao".

Such a 'Heavenly Dao' is like a sage monarch with noble character, and most of the "virtues" and "decrees" promulgated by his person are the "rhyme of the five virtues" and the "politics of the five constants" required for the next stage of "dreaming and quoting".

If this principle is generalized, then the practice of Inner Heaven and Earth is like governing a country, requiring the use of the art of light and heavy to weigh the balance of yin and yang, just as the monarch of a country needs to formulate policies, adjust the economy, and maintain social order, testing their understanding and application of the laws of heaven and earth.

These "virtues" and "decrees" not only affect the inner heaven and earth development of the practitioners, but also affect their own spiritual path.

……

Seeing that Zhao Qing seemed to have basically understood the relationship between these people, Wenzi was quite relieved in his heart, and said lightly: "The story I want to tell is here." Is there anything else you want to ask? ”

didn't plan to hide anything, Zhao Qing asked some questions about the inheritance of King Yu's mausoleum, as well as questions about the next policy of King Goujian, and got a clear answer from Wenzi's side:

The reason why the other party used metaphors in the past was to facilitate their own understanding, and they were by no means beating around the bush.

To put it simply, as far as Wenzi knows, since the Yue Kingdom has not collected taxes for ten years, and the people of the mountains and wilderness have even forgotten the management of the state, Ju Jian is ready to start implementing the policy of "counting households" after the end of this Yu Festival, and consider reverting to the field tax of 20 taxes and 1 tax, the city tax of 50 taxes and 1 tax and 1 customs tax.

There is no doubt that such a tax rate can be said to be very low for the Vietnamese people, and it does not increase much burden, and the main intention is to strengthen the state's control over the local government, and formulate the next development policy more accurately by counting the national household registration.

You must know that there is no poll tax that began to be formalized in the hands of Shang Yang and brought heavy pressure to the common people in later generations, nor is there a series of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes with a variety of names, and one-twentieth of the tax is a really low amount, which is much stronger than many dynasties in later generations that seem to be lightly endowed and often are often on the line of survival.

More importantly, in today's world, under normal circumstances, civilians need to serve one to three days of conscription every year, and can spend money to offset it, if it is a large-scale project that lasts for several months, only need to participate once, you can be exempted from conscription for life, and the degree of labor is far less than that of feudal dynasties that often serve more than one month a year.

It has to be said that the development of ancient society is completely a process of bad money driving out good money and exploitation becoming heavier and heavier, although science and technology drive the continuous development of productive forces, but it has been in a state of national wealth and weak people, and there are serious land annexations, the period from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period may be the better era.

Thinking about the impact of the upcoming "census", Zhao Qing looked at Wenzi, who had already answered the question, and saw that the other party had packed up the fishing tackle he was carrying, and let a golden carp jump onto the ape's shoulder, and then towards the hand, and then disappeared.

……

No, it seems to be the two of us who disappeared, right? Moreover, it seems that this is not only a spatial teleportation, but also a reversal of time?

In the next moment, in a wide and flat mountain road, looking at the huge Huiji City in the shape of a parallelogram in the north, and the sun hanging overhead, Zhao Qing blinked in confusion in her heart, and suddenly recalled a series of past experiences that were completely different from what she had done before.

It was a memory that seemed to be real from beginning to end, and its content was that when she was teaching Zheng Dan in the morning, she took the time to contact Shi Iris, and then at noon with the ape Gong was led by the other party to Wanwei Mountain on the edge of the Dayu Mausoleum, and was climbing the mountain to approach the scope of the cemetery.

Glancing at the ape who looked equally puzzled, and experiencing this strange feeling as if the timeline was split and merged, Zhao Qing thought about the possibility of falling into an illusion before, and suddenly remembered what Wenzi said before, "The unchanging law of heaven and earth in the eyes of ordinary people is not an absolute rule that cannot be changed", and he couldn't help but feel a deep shock.

"Although it is said that both of you have obtained the permission to enter the outer area of the Yu Wang's Mausoleum, and you can move freely outside the cemetery in the future, but in any case, you must not make any desecration in front of the ruins related to Dayu. Well, Xiaobai, what does A-Qing do, you can just follow......"

Looking at the ape who should not understand etiquette in common sense with a suspicious gaze, Shi Iris, who was flying a few feet in front of Zhao Qing and leading the way, sensed the mood fluctuations of the two people behind him, so he turned his head and reminded:

"In this area where there are many inheritances to comprehend, relying on the bloodline of the surname Hi that has been temporarily given, normally, you only have three days to stay here, so don't overestimate your abilities too much, and try to comprehend the content beyond the limits of your current realm."

"The best situation is to find a middle-level inheritance that suits you as soon as possible and enter the state of deep epiphany, because the opportunity for this kind of epiphany is quite rare, even if the three days are over, someone will help you forcibly continue until the state of epiphany subsides."

"Is it still necessary for me to say which of the high-level inheritances that are incomplete, perhaps even less than one percent, and cannot be cultivated at all, or a generally complete middle-level inheritance, compared to a generally complete middle-level inheritance?"

I saw that she lowered her voice and told Zhao Qing and Ape Gong about the tricks, and then smiled slightly, seeing that it was not far from the formation enchantment guarding the tomb of King Yu, she flipped her cuffs, took out two smooth beads with a diameter of about inches, and threw them into the hands of the latter two.

"If you are not a descendant of Dayu, or the bloodline is too thin, if you want to enter the boundary of the Yu Wang's Mausoleum and live peacefully in it without being excluded, you need to refine this extremely precious 'Shenzhu Coix', change your physique, and then temporarily be given the 'bloodline' of the surname Xi."

Pointing to these two seemingly inconspicuous beads, Shi Iris introduced: "In the past, 'Yu's mother traveled to the mountains, saw the meteors, dreamed of a sense of meaning, and swallowed the god pearl Coix, and gave birth to Yu with a chest. This rare variety of coix is the origin of the surname in ancient times. ”

"In the strict guard arrangement of the Yu Tomb, only in the depths of the cemetery, the ten zhang land around the Yu mound, can be planted and bred to be able to temporarily give other people the ancient 'surname 'Shen Zhu Coix', the annual output is quite limited, and a small amount can be harvested in the spring and autumn sacrifices."

"However, when you refine the divine power of Coix outside, under its blessing, all the facilities and inheritances in the cemetery will judge you as a direct descendant of Dayu, and when you attain enlightenment, you will not encounter obstacles due to blood proximity."

……

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Shenyang Village, Nanlin Township, on the riverbank on the edge of the mountain, Wenzi carried his fishing tackle, just walked down from the wooden pier bridge, folded a verdant reed leaf casually, braided it into the shape of a grass boat with great interest, bent down and gently placed it on the water.

The next moment, he felt that he was tapped on the shoulder, so he turned around and saw the old merchant dressed in gray and stroking his beard, with a slight smile on his face, as if everything was silent.

Rubbing the jade cane with two fingers, the old merchant also smiled slightly, and then solemnly opened his mouth and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"It used to be about eighty or ninety, but now it's ten percent." Fumiko replied calmly.

The old merchant was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Do you need me to take a closer look at Yue Junzhi's appearance and use the power of heaven to spy on his established destiny?" ”

"'To receive the dirt of the country is to be the master of the society; The country is ominous, and it is the king of the world. If Ju Jian can maintain his current state of being willing to take on all the responsibilities of the Yue people, even if this was only a small state in the past, it will have a bright future. Wenzi said lightly: "And once he changes his original ambition, how can I not perceive it?" ”

The pace of the two was obviously very fast, and in just a few words, they came to the place where the child caught the loach before, looking at the child sitting at the water's edge with a depressed look, the fishing rod in Wenzi's hand suddenly shook slightly a few times, and several small fish were picked into the other party's bamboo basket one after another.

……

The scenery of the rivers and lakes at the foot of Huiji Mountain is excellent, and the light rain is dripping, like silk, and sprinkled gently. In the distance, the jade, the stone, the mulch, and the peaks of Busan loom in the clouds, as if covered with a veil of mystery.

In the sky, the phoenix-like white clouds surround slowly, and the five phoenixes spread their wings, as if guarding this sacred land. The sunlight shines through the clouds, sprinkled between the mountains and rivers near the tomb of King Yu, reflecting a quiet and solemn beauty.

Standing on the east side of the mountain mausoleum, looking west, I saw that the whole mausoleum sat east to west, and the mountain was facing the unitary direction, carrying the Huiji Mountain, facing the mountain and the plain. In this treasure land surrounded by mountains and rivers, Dayu Mausoleum stands quietly, telling the vicissitudes of history and the changes of the years.

The most eye-catching thing is the black and white mausoleum hall. It is solemn and solemn, but full of simple and elegant. The eaves of the hall are high, like a bird that spreads its wings and wants to fly. The statue of Dayu is enshrined in the hall, lifelike, as if people see the heroic posture of Dayu in controlling the water.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to Dayu, there is another smaller female statue in the Yu temple as an attachment, it is rumored that God is in recognition of Yu's work in controlling water and soil, rewarded to Yu's maid, also known as the East China Sea Holy Aunt, in the past from the depths of the East China Sea to drive a stone boat to sail the stone.

The scale of the temple here is not large, slightly smaller than the one in Huiji City, but the materials used are much more precious, and there are temples and halls that are carefully built with thousands of years and tens of thousands of years old plum trees as pillars and beams, shining in the sun.

Approaching the trench that surrounds the walls of the cemetery, it is a wide and deep trench, like a giant dragon winding and circling, guarding the peak where the entire cemetery is located. The entrenchment is rectangular around the entire mausoleum, and the structure is rigorous and magnificent.

The moat without water, was originally located around the city as a moat, and later borrowed from the tomb to be set up around the tomb, and regarded the tomb as the city, and also regarded the tomb lord as the city lord. Although there are no ripples here, the invisible protection is reassuring.

The Shinto road that crosses the four corners of the trench is hundreds of zhang wide and dozens of miles long, and the four avenues of east, west, north and south are added together, and half of the convex and concave places can not be found; On both sides of the Shinto, huge eight-sided stone pillars stand tall and tall, like giants guarding the cemetery.

Zhao Qing and his entourage entered from the mountain road in the peripheral area, and then walked into the straight Shinto, only to see that these pillars were engraved with pictures and texts of Dayu's life deeds and meritorious achievements, and the pillar hat at the top was towering into the clouds, carved with the lines of gods and spirits such as warding off evil spirits, Tianlu, dragon horses, hedgehogs, nine-tailed foxes, and dragons.

In the cemetery, only to see the Yue mound tomb stretched on the ridgeline, the sealed soil is towering, there is a stone wall outside, according to the different status of the tomb owner, the circle diameter is between ten zhang and one hundred zhang, like a small peak, the arch guards the central Dayu cemetery, as the ancestor of the ancestor.

Although these mound tombs have been eroded by wind and rain for thousands of years, they are still extraordinary, undulating, and the distant hills are majestic, and the peaks of the mountains and arches form a grand and magnificent formation, which is said to be the continuation of the arrangement of the previous years after the summer to strengthen the guard of the Yu Tomb.

Legend has it that at the time of the Xia Shang, more than fifty percent of the income of the Yue Gong clan was used for the repair of the Yuling Park, accumulating the profound heritage of a country for thousands of years.

As for the Dayu Mausoleum itself, because of the custom of "not sealing the tree" when Yu Xia, and taking a thin burial, the sight is completely blocked by the peripheral building facilities, and it is difficult to see the specific scene of the Dayu tomb inside the cemetery.

……

At this time, far away in the west, the outline of the upper city of Huiji Mountain is faintly visible, this is the Qishan where the Yue King Goujian was defeated and besieged, because this big city is close to Yuling, and then retreat, it is to expose the worship of the temple in front of the Wu army, so the Yue people stop here, do not want to retreat again.

The nearby clusters of villages scattered among the mountains are the villages of the mausoleum keepers who have stayed in the local area for generations and are diligent in rituals, and there are many respected sorcerer families in the village, and if they are regarded as an independent sectarian force, it is definitely the top existence in the country.

Different from the witches in other parts of the Yue country, Zhao Qing saw the wizards from afar on the road, and the lines on his clothes are all mountain-shaped, with few birds and snakes, and there are fewer tattoos, this is because Dayu is the main god of the mountains and rivers in the world, and has a unique symbol.

In this cherry blossom season, between the mountains and fields, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, like clouds and mist, and the pink and white petals are more delicate and moving against the background of the green leaves.

And in the sky above the flowers and trees and the spring field, many colorful birds and birds are constantly picking up the grass roots in the field, advancing and retreating, working hard, and seem to be helping the local people to cultivate, which is the bird field in the Yuling area.

"How long do the cherry blossoms last? Willow green and pink two unknown. ”

A breeze blew, and the petals fluttered and fell, as if they were snow scattered by fairies. Zhao Qing closed his eyes, listened to the sound of flowers blooming and falling, and felt the tranquility and peace of being one with nature, and became more and more relaxed.

As her steps gradually went deeper into the cemetery, the simple and elegant sacrificial music "Xia Hua" from the ancestral hall and temple echoed endlessly between the valleys, making people feel solemn and reverent.

In this main mausoleum area, which is 100 miles square, plus the outer mausoleum area, which covers an area of almost one-tenth of Huiji City, in the vast cemetery area, if you want to find the many inheritances distributed in it, and then choose the part that suits you, how should you do it?
