Chapter 707: All the Way North [Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass]
A horse-drawn carriage, galloping in the beautiful fields of the southeast, following the main road, and the busy merchant vehicles around, converged into a stream, inconspicuous.
They started their journey in the most ordinary way, just like ordinary people, stopping when they should stop, eating when they should eat, and resting when they should rest; Because everything was arranged by the coachman, the coachman did not even know their monkhood.
Of course, it's not right to call them uncle, with the two of them nearly 100 years old, the coachman should call them uncle and aunt.
Because you have to find a place to shoot, you have to find a place to stay, and you have to take a road that is convenient for carriages and horses, so this speed is slow; No more than 200 miles a day, every time they go to a larger city, they will change horses and even coachmen, and they will play in the local area for a few more days, and the journey will be even longer.
Hou Yu was originally to take care of his wife's mood, and they have been together for decades, and they have really been together for no more than a year, which is a bit excessive; But when he really settled down and was no longer as excited as he had been at the beginning, he also slowly felt the benefits of such a trip.
It's time to take a break, since I entered the Tao, I have been like a tireless donkey who has been grinding endlessly, and I have never stopped spurring myself to be strong.
The occasional break is actually a way of accumulating strength and preparing for the next challenge. The rhythm is too fast, the strings are too tight, and this is not a good rhythm for practice.
Therefore, after the initial discomfort, I slowly adapted to it, and gradually immersed myself in it, treating myself as an ordinary mortal, and also having my own mortal happiness.
As the wheels rolled, the rivers became fewer and fewer, the hills were undulating, and the terrain began to become flat, which also meant that they began to enter the northern land, crossing half of the northern territory, and finally reached the Yaoguang 100,000 Mountains at the junction of the northern and northeastern borders.
"Is this, already in the North?" Bai Qingqian lifted the curtain and looked at the lush greenery outside, "It seems to be still a hill, but the ups and downs are not so big?"
Hou Yu smiled, "This is Shangyu Country, known as Yunling in ancient times, it is a small country at the junction of the southeast and the north, the terrain is mountainous in the south, the grassland is in the north, and the Dao is the famous Tianxin Pavilion of the Splendid Continent."
Bai Qingqian sighed, "I know, the position of the true transmission of the continental constellation is determined by this Tianxin Pavilion, right?" It's amazing that he can rule that those Great Dao Gates are not swayed."
Hou Yu gave her the knowledge, "It's not exactly, in fact, the true legend of the constellation is jointly adjudicated by Tianxin Pavilion and Taihaomen, but Tianxin Pavilion is the mainstay, Taihao is supplemented, and Tianxin Pavilion is unwilling to be arbitrary, so I found Taihaomen like this who does not cause trouble in the rivers and lakes, and has a Taoist system of divination and astrology as a supervision, of course, you have to think that it is okay to be ranked by Tianxin Pavilion."
Well, this Shangyu Tianxin Pavilion is more than this magic, don't look at the country is not big, but it occupies the most of several continents.
For example, in terms of continental topography, it is the center of continental topography; It is also the country with the richest collection of books in all the Taoist systems in the mainland, the place with the most abundant power of wood, and the most famous country of flowers.....
It is also the only one of all the Dao systems in the continent that has an infant and an ancestor, but does not have a true disciple and does not participate in the competition for the Outer Soul Youth."
Bai Qingqian's mouth opened wide, indicating that he was surprised; But when he saw Hou Yu coming over, he immediately covered his mouth and pinched him.
"It's all you, how do I feel like my mouth has gotten bigger lately......" Hou Yu shrugged, "Illusion, illusion."
"This Tianxin Pavilion is very maverick, so, is it on the side of the Daomen?"
"No, like Truman, they all keep their traditions; Trumen relies on his own strength, I don't know what this Shangyu relies on, every Dao system in the Splendid Continent has its own way of survival, and it can't be compared, when it is famous, no one dares to touch it, the benefits are not big, and the trouble is not small."
"What Hou Lang said is not very good, right?"
"Shangyu doesn't have cultivation mines, and the population is not large, so it's not much good; But I heard that Shangyu's infant transformation ancestor is very advantageous, and it belongs to the top level in the entire continent; A thousand years ago, there were other Daomen who wanted to take it, but they were approached by Shangyu Zhenren
, and after a gamble, he directly destroyed the national ......"
Bai Qingqian opened his mouth wide again, "So good? Then why does Shangyu Dao still live here and don't want to forge ahead?"
"For they will always have only one infant to become an ancestor, and never a second; If one is gone, the other will be topped up, just as powerful. Of course, these are all legends, and in the last few hundred years, the continental borders have gradually stabilized, and no one has come to challenge them anymore, so they can't do it."
"What a strange way, what a strange country...... But since there are so many continents here, can we stay here a little longer?"
"Of course, you can stay as long as you want, and I'll stay with you."
The two simply decided on the itinerary, and Hou Yu knocked on the window and asked the driver, "Uncle Zhang, where is the most famous place in Shangyu?"
The coachman laughed heartily, "You don't need to ask, whether it is the cultural history, or the architectural environment, or the flowers and plants, Shangyu is not big, let's go to Shangyu's flower capital at the end of the year, this is a historical city of thousands of years, and the mainland .....is famous."
The carriage coiled all the way, detouring on the hilly and mountain road, the plants on both sides of the road were green, competing for beauty, this is still the most common flower.
"Look, that's Kishilan!" The coachman shouted as he pointed to a clump of bluegrass growing in a crack in the rocks.
"Isn't this the national flower Lu Lan? How can you just grow on the side of the road so casually?" Bai Qingqian was surprised,
"In Shangyu, that's what it is! It represents a tenacious, brave, unyielding, ordinary growth environment that does not need to be carefully cultivated, as long as there is a beam of sunlight and a stone, it can thrive, just like us ordinary mortals!" Uncle Coachman said proudly.
Hou Yu made a move, and an isolated stone flew into his palm, and the two looked at it carefully, Bai Qingqian opened his mouth again,
"Look, Hou Lang, it's really grown in the stones......
There is no doubt that the orchid is the national flower of Shangyu; But it's not easy to say whether it's a land flower, because many countries have their own national flowers, peonies, begonias, jasmine, plums and so on.
Thousands of years ago, the Splendid Continent still admired the strange stone orchid, but as time passed, more and more colorful flowers were loved by people in different regions, and the strange stone orchid slowly withdrew from the stage of history.
It is also normal, although it is unique, but from the essence of this flower, there are many varieties of flowers that are more beautiful than it.
People always look at the outside more than the inside, which is a common problem of human beings.
