Chapter 7 What You See Along the Way [Ask for Recommended Collections]
The water system of Guangchuan Island is developed, and travelers travel far away, and it is faster to ride a boat than to ride a horse, but it is more convenient for Taoists to ride a horse.
The four-person ride, less than thirty miles, has been divided; Chong Ling and the two disciples had the strength to move on the horses under their crotches, and they were free to run vertically and horizontally, but Hou Yu was already foaming at the mouth, and there were signs of not supporting at any time.
Chong Ling frowned, it's also a burden to bring such a guy, but he can't do without it, although he knows that this person has a heavy promise, but if he really lets him go to the Shendu, who can guarantee anything?
Between life and death, how many can really do it?
"There are some tricks, you can touch the horse's head and try to build mutual trust with it......"
After Chong Ling's short teaching, Hou Yu immediately apologized, "Daoist forgive me, I can't draw qi yet......"
Chong Ling smiled dumbly, he forgot this, this torture is covered with a faint Dao skin, in fact, he is an out-and-out mortal, a little stronger, he can feel the spiritual power of heaven and earth, how can he comprehend the means of a true cultivator?
Pointing at a companion, "Xiaosong, you switch horses with him." ”
This became the way of their group, and every thirty miles, Hou Yu and his two Taoist disciples, Xiaosong and Ji Yue, would change rides, and maintain their horsepower, but they would also be able to ride for a day without taking too much rest.
Among the two Daomen disciples, Xiaosong is in the Bigu Realm, and Jiyue is in the Peiyuan Realm, and the three of them are in the third, fourth, and fifth realms of the Daomen realm, and they get along for a period of time, and it doesn't seem to be a real master-apprentice relationship, but the realm is used to distinguish the status of the priority, Hou Yu doesn't know anything about the Daomen system, so he can only rely on imagination.
Along the way, he could feel the looming alienation of several Taoists, obviously in their eyes, he was a dispensable existence, a burden to be sinned, and insignificant; He is an arrogant and introverted character, people look down on him, and he will not rush to hold stinky feet.
So silently hurrying, city after city.
The patrol of the gate of Anhe National Highway is not fixed; Maybe a few times a year, maybe once a few years; It completely depends on the trend of the people's customs and the changes in the situation; In addition to the places where the people are angry, the places patrolled are basically random, full of Taoist free and unrestrained style.
For example, Chong Ling's inspection this time is an accidental task, and even Guangchuan Zhou is also a master of the Daomen, which may have a deep meaning, or may not, anyway, in the eyes of the Daomen, there is no difference.
However, the main task of their trip was to the cities in the area through which the Qingtang River flowed in Guangchuan Prefecture, and the purpose was to urge the government at all levels to build embankments to control the river.
Two days later, they came to the next city they were scheduled to visit, Liupan City.
The reason why it is called Liupan is because this place is the place where several rivers meet, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, there are six elbows that wind like snakes, the whole city is almost wrapped in the rivers, it is a veritable city on the water, and the water potential is very complicated.
Chong Lingdao and Liupan and a group of bureaucrats, big and small, had a good fight of wits and courage, but they could not persuade them to build embankments and protect the city; Hou Yu stood behind Chong Ling like Xiao Song Jiyue, and listened to this Taoist debate that he had never dared to imagine before.
Huang Fuzun was polite on the surface, but his attitude was very resolute, "The good Taoist leader learned that the Liupan water system is not suitable for building embankments, and there are too many branches, which is unbearable; In the previous dynasty, there were also Taoist chiefs who asked to build embankments, but they were built that year, and collapsed the following year, which was a lesson for the people and money. ”
Chong Ling frowned, how could he have time to care about the affairs of the previous dynasty? A few decades ago, he was a minor cultivator who was dedicated to cultivating the Tao.
"But not enough money? There are indeed many rivers and bays here in Liupan, and the embankment is complicated, my Taoist can win some support from the court for you, but you Liupan must bear most of it, after all, this is a great virtue for the benefit of the people of Liupan, and it is also a great merit for you to be promoted in the future. ”
Huang Fuzun was unmoved, "Definitely! The embankment of Liupan is difficult to build, not in the accumulation of wealth, but in the fierce demons in the rivers; These monsters hate human beings the most for building embankments, saying that it affects their living environment and makes waves, how can we mortals stop it?
Daomen has limited garrison in the local area, and the city is overstretched, how can it protect the river from the ravages of river demons? In this water, it is the mortal people who suffer, so I think that if we don't solve the problem of the river demon and the waves, we should not talk about building embankments to calm the people. ”
Anheguo is not a paradise, after the changes in the spiritual mechanism of heaven and earth for thousands of five hundred years, it has brought more calamities to human beings than cultivation, and in a sense, calamities seem to affect the living environment of this world more than cultivation.
This involves the adaptation of a different race to the spiritual changes of heaven and earth, and it is a pity that animals acting on instinct have adapted to this change more quickly than humans, and perhaps in a few thousand years, humans will have an absolute advantage in this world, but not now.
As a result, there are demons and monsters, fighting for control of this world with humans who have just tasted cultivation, not only Anhe Kingdom, but all human kingdoms, none of which are spared.
Humans are good at learning, and they get stronger and stronger over time; But the monsters are easy and quick to get started, and it is easier to form combat power.
Demons, that is, demon beasts, those beasts in the deep mountains and Daze have awakened their own bloodlines from ancient times by instinct, they don't need exercises, they have their own systems, this is all the gift of blood, but it is much faster than the human beings who go forward step by step.
Anhe is a landlocked country, located in the south, warm in all seasons, the land area is not large, but the population is dense, the business is developed, basically there is no so-called deep mountains and old forests such a place to breed mountain demons; But God is just, and no kingdom can escape the tide of history after the advent of the era of cultivation.
There are no deep mountains, but there are big rivers, and it is the same thing to have fewer mountain demons but more water monsters.
Whether the mountain demon is harmful, or the water monster causes a lot of evil, there is no comparison between this kind of thing; Each country has a rough response to the monsters in its own territory, and it can only be a rough one, because the strength of the human race is not enough to support them to completely solve this problem, and it will take time.
It's the same with the Daomen of Anheguo, they have too many troubles to deal with, but it's not just demons, but also ghosts, and demons!
…… As soon as Fu Zun's words came out, the Chong Ling Daoist immediately lost his confidence, he was just a Lianqiao Realm cultivator, and he had not yet reached the most critical Xuanxuan, so he could neither fly in the sky nor make waves in the water, if the water demon dared to go ashore, he would still be sure to maneuver around, but if he was allowed to sneak into the river to negotiate and fight with the water tribe, it was really not something that a Taoist of his realm could do.
There is no basis for empty words, Chong Ling and his party of four and Cao Guan in the city then ascended the west wall of Liupanshui City, here is also the largest section of water outside the city, the Qingtang River rolls down, roars and rushes, the river surface is foggy, people can't see clearly.
But the realm of Chong Ling Dao is here, and he has the most intuitive feeling, knowing that under the misty water, there are still many shrimp soldiers and crabs who will sharpen their knives here, as if they are demonstrating to him!
precisely
In the middle of the air, the platform was raised, and it was rumored that there was a carriage and horses. It rains on the mountain, and you can see the haze by standing upright!
