Chapter 186: The Prosperous Age of the Immortal Dao
After curing Erniang's eye disease and arranging miscellaneous affairs, Yu Lie left Yu's house in Qianjun that night, he waited in the crowded boat and car station and bought a ticket to Qianzhou Daocheng.
In the realm of mountains and seas, according to the division of forces stipulated by the Dao Court, there are roughly three classes, namely the prefecture and county, the state level is the highest, and the city where it is located has the title of "Dao City", the county town is second, slightly inferior, and the county seat is the lowest, which includes the towns and villages.
Although he was already an eight-rank Taoist disciple, Yu Lie had a slight status in the diving county, but when he boarded the boat, he found that it was really just like the rumors, almost all of them were Taoist disciples, and there was no preferential treatment.
When he bought a ticket, he could only buy a second-class ticket. In the first-class position, the boat and car said that there was no ticket, but looking at the dead face of the sales staff, the other party obviously didn't bother to take care of him.
In addition to the second-class seats, the rest of the train can also buy tickets without seats, but this kind of ticket is not located in a regular carriage, not mixed with the second-class seats, and cannot stand on the aisle.
The no seat is located in the carriage of pack animals and monsters, etc., and the smell is unpleasant, and there is not even a single window.
These tickets are exactly what the Taoists can buy below, that is, the Jiupin Dao Tong is first-class.
Whether you are a middle or a high-ranking person, or a mortal who does not enter the stream, you can only get on the car like an animal, and take the animal passage, not the pedestrian passage.
All kinds of noisy voices rang in Yu Lie's ears.
He huddled in the crowd for a few moments before stepping into the wide boat, which was as large as a building.
Among them, when he walked and moved slowly, on top of the heads of these Taoist disciples, he was guided by the Taoist people wearing standard Taoist robes in the boat, and respectfully handed over a Taoist to enter the dragon boat.
This Taoist sat on a flying carpet full of exotic style, and when he passed by Yu Lie and the others, he inadvertently glanced at everyone with his afterglow, and a cold feeling suddenly appeared on the bodies of all Daoists.
The crowd of people, all brushing their bodies, made many people collide together, stirring up bursts of spiritual light.
Although the Taoists are crowded on foot, and mortals rush to the market, they are also people with status after all, and they are not really shoulder to shoulder, and they are all attached to the body protection charms, so that they can effectively prevent some thieves who are good at fishing in troubled waters.
It's just that although everyone staggered for a while, none of the Taoists dared to look up at the top of their heads.
It wasn't until the Taoist who rode the exotic flying carpet on the top entered the dragon boat that beside Yu Lie, there was a middle-aged Taoist who said two words with a sigh in his mouth:
"Divine Sense."
Hearing this, Yu Lie's eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly said in his heart:
Sure enough, this cold feeling is the feeling of being swept naked by the divine consciousness of others. In this way, the Taoist just now is at least a Taoist official. ”
Yu Lie was bold, and he also raised his head and looked around, and found that the exotic flying carpet that the Taoist had just used to get on the car suddenly flew out of the boat and car again, and then fell back to the side of the person in the boat and car, and was carefully rolled up by the other party.
In the afterglow, Yu Lie also saw the carriage in front of him, and there were also scattered Taoists flying on the upper deck of this column of dragon boats, some of them were walking in the air, some were riding on flying carpets, and some were riding mounts, scattered and scattered, and so on.
This made Yu Lie secretly wonder in his heart:
"These flying devices are only things used in boats and cars to send passengers. The Daoist just now was not stepping into the air, he was stepping on the flying carpet, and the other party's cultivation might only be the middle and lower rank among the seven-rank Daoists. ”
Among the Taoists who flew on the dragon boat, those who took the flying carpet were the most ordinary.
However, even if the Dao person just now was just a seven-rank Taoist who had just broken through, compared with the current Yu Lie, the other party was also a whole great realm of Yu Lie, which was worthy of Yu Lie's envy.
Before entering Qianzhou Dao City, Yu Lie once again felt the clear hierarchy under the "Nine Grades Dao Law" system.
Continue to crowd into the dragon boat, and when I finally stepped into the carriage, there were already many people sitting inside, all kinds of costumes, and some people were dressed in strange costumes, and the tone was quite mixed.
The temperament of these people is impressive, and all of them are Taoists.
Yu Lie and the others stepped in, causing a slight commotion.
There were also passengers who seemed to be the same as him, and the other party seemed to be a new Taoist disciple who was riding a dragon boat for the first time, and opened his mouth and shouted:
"That's a lot of people." "There are so many disciples! ”
Such an exclamation suddenly provoked the jokes of some of the Taoist disciples in the surrounding seats, and some people gossiped: "Where is this?" ”
"Small place, Diving County, there's just a station here."
Someone else opened his eyes from his false sleep, glanced at the people who boarded the dragon boat to find a seat, and muttered:
"That's a lot of people? When you arrive in the state city, you will know that few of the people in the carriage can live like a person at all. ”
Yu Lie was alone, and he listened to the discussion in the carriage, and his heart was also full of sighs.
It is said that when they separated from She Shuangbai last time, in the wine shop where the two were located, one of the guys was a first-class Taoist boy, and the shopkeeper was a Taoist.
Although the location of the station wine shop is special, this has already surprised Yu Lie, but now I didn't expect that the seven-grade Taoist officials who were difficult to see in the past could also see five or six at a glance just now, and the Taoist disciples with a slight status in the city were walking everywhere in the carriage.
According to the discussion in the dragon boat carriage, it seems that when you wait for the real Dao City, there is a vast world, and the Eight Rank Daoists will be directly inferior to dogs?
The gap between them is so big that for a while, Yu Lie has a kind of life in Blackwater Town in the past, and it seems that he lives on a dog.
It must be known that the original Heishui Town and the two surrounding Dao towns were all one town, with only one seventh-grade Taoist official, an eight-grade Taoist disciple could be a powerful man, and a ninth-grade high-ranking Taoist boy could also command him.
Not only did Yu Lie sigh in his heart, but the few new Taoists who boarded the dragon boat with him were also suspicious.
Some people even began to wonder if they should go to Dao City.
The man muttered: "In the diving county or below the diving county, we can finally live as individuals, and go to Dao City, but it is not necessarily." ”
Among this group of new Daoists, one of them may have learned about this situation from the elders, and the other party's eyes were suspicious, but his face still pretended to be calm, and he said with a chuckle:
"Dao disciples, immortal apprentices, since they are apprentices, how can they have great success. I heard that the Taoists in ancient times were just food-eating existences. ”
The man shook his head: "The three-level forces of the state, county and county, and below are all just the places where the Dao Court supports the population, and living like a person in this kind of place is just a blessing on the head of mortals."
Why care about these virtual things? Taoism is the most important thing. ”
The other party's words made the faces of the new Taoists who passed with them slightly embarrassed, and some people were shocked and shouted:
"Brother Luo is right! The big husband should be far away! ”
"Haha! You're kind to you. ”
The Taoist surnamed Luo arched his hands, paced, and happened to find the seat next to Yu Lie's seat, and then sat down comfortably with his robe, and bowed his hand towards Yu Lie in a good time:
"Poor Dao Luo Xiaofang, I have seen this fellow Daoist."
The other party recognized Yu Lie's face, and said in surprise: "Look at Daoyou's face and youth, it's the first time to go to the state city?" ”
Yu Lie saw that this person seemed to be a little knowledgeable in his words, but he didn't mind the other party's familiarity, and said politely: "Exactly, poor Yu Lie." ”
The two sat next to each other, and after a pleasant exchange, they exchanged ideas with each other.
Suddenly, Luo Xiaofang asked: "Brother Yu, do you know why only the state city is called 'Dao City', and the county town cannot be called so?" ”
Yu Lie's heart moved, and he said curiously: "Brother Luo, please speak." ”
At this moment, the huge dragon car moved, and the entire carriage shook and swayed, making the bodies of the two of them sway.
Outside the window, the scenery regressed rapidly, and everyone suddenly felt that their bodies were light, and they found that the dragon car had not entered the sky, and the flowing clouds were flying by, like clouds and mist.
Luo Xiaofang pointed to the scene outside the window and said with a smile:
"Dao City, the holy land of cultivation, is a place where true Dao people gather. In the county towns and other places, there are still mortals, but in Dao City, even if it is a roadside scavenger, at least it is a Dao boy, and mortals cannot enter it by themselves. ”
He paused, his eyes were shining, and he stared out the window: "From now on, Brother Yu, you and I can really step into the world of Taoists and come into contact with the prosperous world of the Immortal Dao!" ”
Hearing this, Yu Lie subconsciously asked, "How many Taoists are there in the state city?" ”
An answer that Yu Lie didn't expect at all, said:
"Qianzhou is a city, covering 100,000 miles, and there are about 40,000 resident Taoists in the city."
Yu Lie's pupils shrank: "Forty thousand Dao people!?" ”
"Even if the ninth-grade Dao Tong accounts for the vast majority, the eighth-grade, seventh-grade, and sixth-grade or more, how many should there be......" He was speechless for a while.
But immediately, Yu Lie also reacted suddenly, and found that the "40,000" Taoist people were not outrageous.
It must be known that the size of the 100,000-li area is higher than the entire world in his previous life, and the mountain and sea realm is an immortal world, not a mortal dynasty, and it has a variety of means to support the population, and it can eat foreign lands, and it is not a problem for a state to feed tens of billions of people, it just depends on whether you are willing or not.
It's just that Blackwater Town, where Yu Lie was before, was too broken and too small, and the background was not enough, and all mortals lacked it, which made him feel uncomfortable with this.
"Besides, if there is not such a huge number of Daoists, how can the Mountain and Sea Realm reopen the prosperous era of the Immortal Dao and raise the Heavenly Immortals, and what should be used to conquer foreign lands?!"
Yu Lie thought excitedly in his heart, and also looked out the window.
In other words, in ancient times, he was finally about to leave the mortal world and officially enter the monastic realm.
Rise!
The dragon car traveled sideways, huge as a mountain range, breaking through the clouds, heading towards the location of Qianzhou Dao City, rolling and rushing.
