007, success and Fuju (II)
Seeing that the tiger baby was leaving, Pan Gu immediately stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, if you want to continue your journey to Bayuan, we might as well wait for the lord to return to Badu City before leaving." The implication is that of course he has to follow the tiger baby.
Huwa shook her head and said, "You go back to Badu City with Senior Brother Shaowu, you don't have to travel with me anymore." β
Pan Gu was stunned: "Senior brother, do you want to go alone?...... With me by my side, I can also protect the Dharma for you. β
Hanxiong also said: "Senior Brother Xiaolu, the country is going to reward the meritorious heroes, and it's not good if you are not there." "Because of the meeting of Baichuan City, the original plan of Shaowu was disrupted, and the meritorious deeds made by everyone in the national war have not yet been officially rewarded. The tiger baby undoubtedly has the greatest credit, if he is not present, how can Shao Wu reward others first?
Huwa smiled, in fact, another reason why he decided to leave at this moment was that the general of the country was rewarding him lavishly, and he knew that the credit he had made was too great, so big that Cheng DΓΉ, who was not easy to reward for his few affairs. If you talk about the title, he now enjoys the ninth lord, which is already the highest, although there is still the honor of the ten lords in name, but that status is almost impossible to reward.
As far as Huwa knows, the first Venerable to enjoy the Ten Lords in Ba Yuan was the retired General Wufu, and the most recent Venerable to enjoy the Ten Lords was Zheng Gu, who nominally "voluntarily" abdicated. Although the merit of the tiger baby is great, it is not appropriate to give the ten lords, and he is still so young, even if the young man gritted his teeth today and gave him the respect of the ten lords, if he made meritorious contributions in the future, it would really be rewardable.
But on the other hand, the tiger baby must accept the most solemn reward, because his merit is indeed the greatest, and it is impossible for everyone else to surpass him. If the reward for the lesser is low or less, it will be difficult for others to do it. And Huwa's own intentions are obviously not intended to serve in the country, and if he comes back after cultivating to break through the Six Realms, it will be even more impossible to directly serve in the country.
The title is not easy to promote, and the position cannot be mentioned, so you can only reward goods and fiefs. So Huwa simply didn't go back to Badu City with Shaowu, and let Shaowu reward other meritorious officials first, so that he wouldn't be embarrassed.
But Hanxiong had already opened his mouth, and Shao Wu continued: "Senior brother, with your meritorious deeds, how can you not return to China to accept the reward?"
Huwa smiled: "Senior brother, you can reward me however you want, and I don't have to be there, you can do it yourself." β
Pan Gu said anxiously: "What about me, why don't you take me with you?"
Huwa looked at Pan Gu and said, "Now that you are the general of the Pan Yuan clan, you have your own things to do." And I know your mind. You can do better when you're not by my side. β
His words were not clear, but the meaning was understandable. As a forward general in this campaign, Pan Gu actually made a lot of contributions, but it was far from enough to realize his wish. Even the name of General Panyuan is not well-known among the people in the country, and it has been completely covered up by the edge of the tiger baby.
As long as Pan Gu is still by the Tiger Baby's side, he can only be the junior brother of Master Peng Keng, the general who won under the light of Mr. Xiao, or just a greyhound by his side. No matter what kind of deeds he has established, the first thing people think of and hear is the deeds of the tiger baby.
Therefore, the tiger baby is now going to travel alone, leaving Pan Gu in the Ba Mur Country, giving him a chance to create a zΓ o to be able to take charge of himself. and is no longer only regarded as the entourage and subordinate of Lord Peng Keng.
The tiger baby has made up her mind, and everyone can't keep it. Since Huwa wanted to go to the Silk Country first, Shaowu had to order an arrangement, so that he could sneak in without revealing his identity. At the same time, he advised: "Senior brother, you have left the Bamuro Country, and there are many things that I am not convenient to help with. You are now known as Ba Yuan. It is inevitable that people will be worried, and everything must be careful. β
Huwa: "Senior brother, don't worry, I still have the ability to protect myself, not to mention that the master gave me a sword talisman to defend myself." Even though I am already famous in Ba Yuan, there are not many people in Ba Yuan who really know me, and even fewer in the country of Pa Muro. However, my senior brother has a lot more chores than me, and when I traveled to Bayuan, I was waiting to hear all kinds of good news from you. β
Shaowu secretly told Huwa some things, and Huwa did not leave in public, but got into a covered car, and he didn't get out of the car on the way. No one in his entourage knew - Master Peng Keng did not know when he had quietly left.
......
Along the river downstream, through Baichuan City to the East China Sea, on the east coast across the river across the river two city outlines are Yilang City and Bincheng. Although these two castles belong to the two countries of Fan and Silk, there is almost no difference in customs and customs, and most of the people living in the area of the castle are members of the Bai'e clan, and many people make a living from fishing.
Huwa came to Bencheng on the south bank, he did not stay in the city for long, and walked along the vast east coast. The East China Sea on Ba Yuan is much larger than the sea of flowers and fish in Huwa's hometown, from Bincheng on the west bank to Wuyun Mountain on the east bank, the water surface is 900 miles wide.
Standing on the shore and looking at the endless waves, even in windless weather, there are waves rolling one after another. Fishing boats come and go in the waves, and before sunset, the old fishing songs are heard on the boats, and the shore awaits the people who welcome the harvest. In addition to fishing, the people of this area also cultivated various crops, and the most important products brought here from other places were wood, salt, and various metal utensils.
The daily attire of the people here is also different from that seen in other parts of Ba Yuan, most of them are barefoot, and many people simply tie their hair back with a rope or cloth strip, except for the nobles, it is rare to see shoes and hats in this area. Some fishermen make the boat their home, and when they are resting, they park their boats in sheltered harbors.
The children were all tied to a kind of gourd in the shape of a long strip. This locally grown fruit and vegetable is edible when it is young and ripe, but when ripe, it becomes hollow and has a hard shell, and the inside is the seeds. It is also a kind of gourd, this kind of hard-shelled hollow gourd is tied to the body, and accidentally falling into the water can make people float, so it is also called a waist boat.
The tiger baby followed the customs of the locals, and also wore her hair and bare feet to tie her waist boat on the seaside, and also bought a waist boat made of gourd to tie on the left waist. On the right side of the waist hangs another gourd of different shapes, like two balls connected together, one large and one small, and there is also an open mouth with a stopper, which can be filled with water, which is lighter than a bamboo bucket, but not so strong.
This gourd was ripened last autumn and just made after being left for the winter. Tiger baby's habit, the utensils he uses always like to be refined with mana to make them more durable and durable.
The gourd was golden brown when I first bought it, and after a while. The color gradually darkened, and it turned purple-gold. The tiger baby realized in the competition of the Baichuan City Meeting, and also wanted to confirm one thing, whether the so-called magic weapon must be made of pure natural materials and earth treasures, and the ordinary things that are readily available in the world, such as clay and this gourd, can also be refined into magic weapons?
Huwa didn't specifically go to refine the gourd, but just did it casually on the way. After the gourd turns purple-gold, the appearance does not change, but the texture becomes tougher and tougher. It is no longer as fragile as an ordinary artifact, and even an ordinary axe cannot be cut, it has become a treasure.
However, it became more and more difficult for Huwa to continue refining, and she also realized more deeply why monks had to find all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, materials with pure physical properties, otherwise it was almost impossible for the refining weapon to succeed. For example, this gourd, if the tiger baby wants to refine its physical properties, there are too many impurities to remove, and the gourd itself may not have much left. Not to mention keeping the original shape.
The tiger baby has adopted another technique to sense the breath of heaven and earth, and fused the physical essence contained in various materials in the operation of the five elements into the gourd, which is equivalent to creating the purest heaven and earth treasure. Use the gourd as the embryo to condense. That is, the tiger baby who has practiced the great skill will do this, and he has the most simple and exquisite experience in refining weapons.
If you were a monk of the Five Realms, you would have broken the gourd if you tried like this, and you would have tossed a useless gourd with this kind of effort. I don't know how many other magic weapons can be refined. What the tiger baby cares about is not the magic weapon, but the comprehension and confirmation of the essence of the physical properties between heaven and earth, and it is also very touching.
I want to refine such an ordinary gourd into a magic weapon. It is almost impossible to succeed, but it is not completely impossible in theory. It's just that he can't do it with his current cultivation, even if he exerts endless magical powers, he can at most refine the gourd into a high-grade treasure. But in the future, if he cultivates to a higher level, he will not be able to realize that slightest possibility, he is refining with the breath of heaven and earth, and refining with the essence of all things.
According to this line of thought, let alone refining magic weapons, if the cultivation of the tiger baby is enough in the future, it can even be refined into an artifact. But what monk in the world would put such thought into an ordinary gourd, which was bought in a fisherman's village. But for the tiger baby, if everything in her hand can become the material for refining the artifact, it is a complete confirmation of the cultivation and enlightenment.
Seeing this train of thought clearly, this is the harvest of the tiger baby, although this method of refining the magic weapon is the most stupid, but the tiger baby used eighty-one stone eggs to keep closing the weapon, why not it is also a stupid method? This is not the refining technique that the monk should take, but it is the original way behind the refining technique.
Shaowu's previous worries may have been a little redundant, although Huwa is famous, but how many people have really seen him in Ba Yuan? Especially in the territory of the Silk Country, the clansmen in the villages along the way do not know that he is the Peng Keng Lord who has been rumored recently, and they can't even imagine that he is just a young man passing by.
During the journey, the tiger baby also kept hearing the latest news, which shocked the people of various villages, even in such a remote place, it also caused all kinds of discussions, and it was the biggest event in the monotonous life day after day. Shao Wu became the patriarch at the meeting of Baichuan City, and this news had just reached this place, but it was far less sensational than the next news.
Meng Yingqiu's sect master had a bad fate, and he actually married the patriarch of the five clans of Ba Yuan, Ba Jun Shaowu, who had just won a great victory in the national war, and was respected as the "Holy Queen" by the Ba Chamber!
The news spread so far and so quickly, and Bamuroguo must have made arrangements to lurk his own people in various parts of Pa Yuan in advance, so that the deeds of Shao Wu could be spread among the people of Ba Yuan in various ways. Even many details of Shaowu's victory in the five battles in the Baichuan City Meeting, Huwa heard it in the discussions of the clansmen everywhere, and of course it also attached a lot of miracles.
These rumors are simply myths for the vast majority of village people. They have lived near their home village for generations, and they have never even seen the city lord in their lives, and whether it is Fatesha or Ba Jun, it seems too far away, so far away as if it has nothing to do with them, but these characters have become more mysterious because of this.
Looking back on the process of those five battles, people are willing to believe that Shaowu won the destiny. The first battle was a draw, but only Shao Wu of the five monarchs stabbed his spear on the stone wall. In the second game, Shaowu won inexplicably, and he made a boat from the soil to the shore. As for the third fight, the axe in the hand of the young man suddenly flourished and cut off all the wooden stakes.
And among all the kings, only Shaowu cut all the stakes with his own hands, and he was the only one who picked the grains with his own hands like ordinary people, and as for the final victory, of course, it was expected by everyone, and he also won the favor of fate.
Shaowu is already a myth, and in the minds of ordinary people, the fate of Meng Yingqiu, where the gods live, is even more colorful as both gods and immortals. As for Shaowu's assistant, Peng Keng, a young gentleman named Ba Yuan, was guided by the gods to assist Ba Jun's mythical and legendary characters.
Tiger Baby also heard about herself. Shaowu rewarded those who had made meritorious contributions to the national station, including the military formation formed by the captured soldiers, and the military merits made after returning to the battle. Huwa learned that she had been promoted or finally became an official, and was appointed as Xuezheng by the young minister, and her status was tied with the lords of the court, and she still enjoyed the respect of the Nine Lords.
Xuezheng was an official position more than a hundred years ago, and as the head of the school palace, he naturally served as the deputy priest of the country, and the priest was the monarch himself. Shao Wu promised at the meeting of Baichuan City that after returning to China, he would restore the palace, teach the people to learn the language, and compile various inheritance classics in the future.
Taking advantage of the absence of the tiger baby, Shaowu finally appointed him as Xuezheng, but the tiger baby, the master of Xuezheng, did not need to take care of things in person, and he didn't even have to show his face, he just needed to put up his name to receive a generous support. At the same time, Shaowu also appointed two deputy scholars, each enjoying seven lords, the first of which was Hou Gang, a disciple of Cangsha.
Hou Gang, a young man with no background in the Bamuro country, is in such a high position, of course, mainly because of his hasty face. On the other hand, he is also the most suitable person to teach the common people's writing, and has been studying with Mr. Cangsha for so many years.
Such a young man may not be good at dealing with all kinds of complicated affairs for the time being, so Shao Wu summoned Xiling from Xiangcheng to Badu City, and also appointed him as the deputy Xuezheng to preside over the daily affairs of the Xue Palace. Shaowu also appointed Hongyuan, the city lord of Yuanfei Hongcheng, to replace Xiling as the chief Fumin.
The knowledgeable Xiling had a desire in his early years, and persuaded Xiangjun to restore the school palace of the year, but today he has realized this wish in the country of Bamuro. Although he is not a scholar of Zheng, it is impossible for Huwa to take charge of things, and Hou Gang is concerned about teaching the text itself, and he has become the founder and de facto manager of the school palace.
