Chapter 47 It's not far from ascension
Xianyang, as the capital of the Qin State, is the economic and cultural center of the entire Qin State, with spacious streets, orderly shops, and bustling crowds, all revealing the strength of the Qin State and the pride of the Qin people.
If you go back a few hundred years ago, the Qin State was just a small border country that was not taken seriously, with barren land and backward culture, but in this short period of a few hundred years, the Qin people used their own hands to build the backward Qin State into a powerful country that dominated the country.
Advancing westward to unify Xirong, and eastward occupied large areas of land in Han and Chu, destroying Shaoliang, expanding the land for thousands of miles, and standing proud.
The Six Kingdoms of Shandong, which once called the Qin people barbarians, really saw the ambitions of the Qin people at this time.
This land has shaped the Qin people who are full of wildness and rules, warlike but not arrogant, brave and not afraid of difficulties, good at discovering their own shortcomings and constantly changing, positive, constantly innovating, knowing how to make good use of people, and clear rewards and punishments.
It is precisely because of the participation of these talented people with good intentions and the world in mind that the Qin State will break through the shackles in a short period of time and become a powerful country. On the other hand, the six countries of Shandong crusaded against each other for a little selfish gain, squeezed out and suppressed talented people, and instead appointed some incompetent and small-bellied villains, which eventually led to the decline of national strength.
Walking on the streets of Xianyang City, Chen Zhenyi couldn't help but think of Du Mu's "A Fang Gong Fu", at this time there was no A Fang Palace in Xianyang City, but these magnificent buildings in front of him were enough to make people sigh!
Everyone walked along the bluestone street all the way to the west.
The young man in white sighed: "They all say that their relatives are barbaric and do not understand the king, but when I see them today, I know that the world is ignorant......
The indifferent white crane was indifferent to this, did not squint, and walked forward on his own.
Yu Xuanji and the girl in the blue dress are both seeing the metropolis for the first time, obviously a little dizzy, even the feet can't help but slow down, from time to time to run to the street to look at novelties, especially the rouge gouache and the like, see good-looking jewelry, half a day can't move the legs.
Near noon, everyone chose a restaurant that looked very lively and prepared to eat.
The shopkeeper greeted him politely, flattering him with all his might, and every sentence said that people's hearts were in a good mood, but he also couldn't help but have the urge to give a reward.
The young man in white chose a quieter table in the corner and beckoned everyone to sit down.
"A few guest officers, what to eat?" The shopkeeper took off the white shiny towel from his shoulder and wiped the spotless table again.
"Two pots of good wine, and then some food...... the young man in white ordered with a smile.
"Okay! Wait a minute, I'll serve you a drink...... "The shopkeeper in his thirties, his eyes kept staring at the two girls sitting on the side.
It's not just the shopkeeper, it's just along the way, these two girls have caused some men to stop and look back, and it's just that they are so good-looking when they grow up.
Yu Xuanji is dressed in white and wins snow, with fair skin, a pair of black and white eyes, a bumpy body, and the tear mole under the corner of his eye, any man will be shocked when he sees it, of course, except for the white crane brother who is indifferent to anything in the world.
The girl in the blue dress also has a pair of big seductive eyes, long eyelashes and a high nose bridge make her facial features just right, her round face has just faded from baby fat, her long black hair is scattered on her back, and she has butterfly-shaped jewelry pinned to her head, like a fairy in the world.
Compared with the two beautiful girls, the three men are slightly inferior.
Bai He looked indifferent and refused to be thousands of miles away, it was difficult for people to get close, and people also stayed away from him, so they didn't pay much attention to his appearance. The young man in white is amiable, casual and free, and he doesn't look amazing, but it's not bad.
Chen Zhenyi's appearance doesn't seem to be very related to his appearance, his facial features are his duty, and the only feeling he gives people is kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and his face is kind and compassionate, if he believes in Buddhism, he will definitely bow down when he sees Chen Zhenyi, but unfortunately, Buddhism at that time has not yet been transmitted to the Spring and Autumn Continent.
"Sir, how long will it take to get to the West Desert?" Chen Zhenyi asked softly.
"According to the current journey, it will take five days, but out of Xianyang, we can go faster," replied the young man in white.
At this time, Xiao Er came with food and wine, and after putting it down, he couldn't help but glance at the two girls, his eyes were full of greed.
Sensing Xiao Er's ill-intentioned eyes, Yu Xuanji slapped the sword in his hand on the table and snorted coldly. Frightened, the shopkeeper quickly retracted his gaze and ran away.
The young man in white smiled and looked at Chen Zhenyi: "What are your feelings recently?" ”
"Feelings?" Chen Zhen was confused, frowning and pondering.
He didn't understand what the so-called perception of the young man in white meant, was it his perception of the general trend of the world, or his perception of traffic? Well, if you compare it with the era in which you lived, the current traffic is not called traffic. In response to the description of Zhonglin Village by the prisoners of labor reform, the traffic basically depends on walking, and the communication basically depends on shouting. However, according to the production level at that time, Xianyang was undoubtedly a metropolis, and the handicraft industry was already extremely developed.
"Cultivating the Tao is to sense all things in heaven and earth, discover the laws of nature from it, and understand the existence of the Tao, so as to improve the true qi in ...... body, the Tao is by your side, all the time" The young man in white drank a glass of wine and looked at Chen Zhenyi.
If you say that, I understand. In recent days, the true qi in the body has really been filled a lot, and the changes in the environment have been more intuitively felt.
In particular, on the observatory outside Hangu Pass, I sensed the sun's breath for the first time.
Chen Zhen nodded and drank a glass of wine, and a spicy taste spread from his throat to his stomach, making people shiver.
In the past few days, Chen Zhenyi has learned nothing else and has learned to drink.
Bai He looked at Chen Zhenyi, who was grinning with bared teeth, and there was a hint of a smile on his indifferent face, and said: "The words are meaningful, the wine tastes, and drinking is also a kind of cultivation......"
The young man in white smiled and nodded, agreeing with Bai He's words.
"Observing all things from one's own body, you can realize the Tao, looking at one's own body from all things, you can also realize the Tao, the Tao is natural, everywhere, you have to observe more, and you can understand more......"
Chen Zhen nodded as if he didn't understand.......
————
On the mountain road fifty miles east of Nanyang County, a donkey cart swayed.
Yunmeng Mountain is right in front of you, but you still have to walk a long way to get to the mountain. The little girl remembered that she had met that old ghost twice, but she never saw his number of exercises clearly. I always feel that he has three points of humanity, three points of ghosts, and three points of demons, and what is even more strange is that he seems to have a point of immortal path.
If you want to say that he has three points of humanity, he seems to be Confucian, not Confucian, and not Taoist, and has a bit of integrity. But the exercises he uses look like ghost techniques, and he also understands the magic of demon transformation, but he doesn't seem to be proficient in them, which makes people very confused.
The little girl thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure it out, and asked puzzledly: "Old man Zou, is that old ghost Wang a human or a ghost?" ”
The old Taoist priest who drove the car smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Say that he is a human being, he acts elusively, say that he is not a human being, he accepts disciples and pays attention to the rules, and he never kills innocents indiscriminately, and I can't tell if he is a human or ......a ghost."
"Then is he cultivating the way of a saint or the way of an immortal?" The little girl asked again.
The old Taoist priest pondered for a long time, remembering that many years ago he went to the East China Sea with Wang Lao Ghost to seek immortals, and the two had a debate on the Tao, Wang Lao Ghost followed the Tao of both the way of the saint and the way of the immortal, but he did not seem to be a saint or an immortal, but indulged in humanity, according to his own words, he was a mortal who dealt with the troubled times with the way of the saint, sought immortality with the way of the immortals, and did great things with intrigues.
"You should ask him if you have a chance! I can't tell...... either."
The little girl didn't hear the answer she wanted, and scolded, "I look at you! I only drink and brag, and when I ask you something, I don't know what you have repaired, I really don't know what you have repaired over the years......"
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "It's rare to be confused in the world......
"Hey! Don't you think things in Nanyang are very strange? The little girl changed the subject.
"In my opinion, it was the Deng family who was used to kill the entire Bian family, and then the Wan family was lured to the scene of the incident and became scapegoats, and finally the Qin State took advantage of the fishermen and served them in a pot, after all, there are three of them in Nanyang, and the rule of the Qin State over Nanyang has potential hidden dangers...... "The old Taoist priest analyzed.
"I'm not talking about this, where did the head of the Wan family, Deng Yu and Bian Wuperman's spirit go? Can someone who can take away other people's spirits be ordinary people? The little girl said thoughtfully.
"That's what I can't figure out...... Maybe it was Old Ghost Wang who took away their spirits, and when they got to Yunmeng Mountain, maybe they would have an answer......"
"Do you think the old ghost Wang has this ability?" Although the little girl had never fought with Wang Lao Ghost head-on, she could see that Wang Lao Ghost did not have this ability.
"Although he can't collect the spirit, he still has the ability to transform it, maybe he can temper the spirit of the three of them," the old Taoist priest said lightly.
"It's strange, why did he institutionalize the three of them instead of all of them?" The little girl turned around and looked at the back of the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest didn't think about these before, but after being reminded by the little girl, he realized that there are indeed a lot of unreasonableness, if you want to say that it is not done by Wang Laogui, who else?
"Do you remember what the Bian kid said about the Heavenly Star Sword?" Seeing that the old Taoist priest stopped talking, the little girl asked again.
"Although I have seen it with my own eyes, this sword must be a peerless divine weapon, if it is taken away by my Wudang disciple, then we will have a chance to see it" The old Taoist priest didn't understand what the little girl meant, and thought that the little girl wanted to see this peerless divine weapon.
"I didn't mean that, didn't you listen to what the Bian family kid said, when the divine soldier was born, the old ghost Wang also came, he went to Wudang last time, wasn't it also for the seven-star sword" The little girl's delicate mind surprised the old Taoist, and he couldn't help but look back at the little girl.
"Old Ghost Wang has snatched the divine soldiers three times and five times, what are you going to do?"
The old Taoist priest was completely blindsided, he hadn't thought about it so much before. As soon as the little girl said it, it seemed that this matter was really not as simple as she imagined. At the same time, I also have a new understanding of the little girl, this old friend who has been enlightened for a hundred years, is it really open to my heart?
If this is the case, then her seven-trick exquisite heart can see through the heavens, and she is not far from ascending.
