Chapter 117: Huainan
There was no monk's shelf, Feng Xue and Xu Qin paid the entrance tax normally and walked into Huainan City, but as far as the eye could see, it was full of vitality.
Huainan is a big city, and everything you can find in the ancient theme film and television works of the modern earth, can be found here.
Qinlou Chu Pavilion, inn wine shop, and even from time to time you can see a tall race of black or white - that is a barbarian slave raised by a rich family.
Compared with previous lives, this place is obviously more in line with the ancient rivers and lakes that Feng Xue imagined in his heart, there are rangers walking with swords on the street, there are also well-mannered scholars, there are rich and noble families wearing brocade ribbon silk, and there are also small merchants and hawkers selling along the street.
This should not have appeared in the Shang Dynasty, an era when the feudal system was still practiced, but it was really in front of it.
It's not because there are immortals and saints in this world, it's just because there is him Feng Xue.
Yes, this is something that Feng Xue is very proud of, when he saw this prosperous scene, his heart was immediately filled with a sense of accomplishment of "this is the world I built with my own hands", so that Xu Qin chattered all the way, he didn't listen to it much, only knew that this little girl was introducing him to the customs of Huainan.
"Uncle Junior, have you ever eaten a rock sugar gourd? This was invented by Gong Xu!" Xu Qin suddenly tugged at the corner of Feng Xue's clothes, pointed to a vendor in front of him who was carrying a straw stick full of rock sugar gourd, and smiled.
Feng Xue rolled her eyes when she saw this, reached out and touched the head of the girl who was a head taller than herself, and said seriously:
"If you want to eat, you can eat it, don't always drag me, make it like I want to eat, by the way, don't say everything is Xu Gong's doing, Xu Gong has never invented this thing! Xu Gong only invented the method of rock candy. ”
"Eh, didn't Xu Gong invent it? That must have been invented by Gong Yun. Xu Qin tilted her head dumbly, and as a matter of course, she threw the copyright of the sugar gourd to Yunwen, and then walked over and bought two strings of sugar gourds.
"Uncle Xiao, I'll invite you!" Xu Qin is a very happy girl, because when she wants to eat, she can always take out the money she bought it.
"I can't. Feng Xue waved his hand, not pretending to be reserved, but really didn't like to eat such sweet things, otherwise the sugar gourd should have been invented by him.
"Oh. Xu Qin saw that Feng Xue didn't seem to be fake, so he didn't say much, he bit it one by one, and ate very happily, although the fruits and vegetables on Huaguo Mountain were all fruits and vegetables with abundant aura, but there were no varieties that had been specially improved in taste, and it was really not necessarily delicious to have this rock sugar gourd.
The two of them staggered forward, and Feng Xue suddenly spoke:
"Where are you taking me?"
"Of course it's going to the Three Emperors Temple!" Xu Qin said as a matter of course, "Although we are monks, we are still nominally dispatched by the Three Emperors Temple (the leaders of the Three Emperors Temple are like dang leading the gun), and the master said that it is not wrong to hang a name with the Three Emperors Temple first when we arrive at a place." ”
"Okay, but are you sure you want to carry the two sugar gourds to the Three Emperors Temple?" Feng Xue looked at Xu Qin, who was gnawing on the sugar gourds with a bow left and right, and always felt like she was taking her daughter out.
"Just eat it before you get there. Xu Qin said this, but the speed of eating did not speed up at all, as if everything was under control.
In fact, I don't know if the little girl really calculated the distance, or simply had to wait until she was almost finished before stopping the detour and officially walking towards the Three Emperors Temple, in short, just before entering the Three Emperors Temple, she finally finished eating the last sugar gourd, wiped her mouth gently, and then stuffed the bamboo skewer into the shrinkage bag very regularly.
"The name of the comer. The two walked to the main gate of the Three Emperors Temple, and were stopped by a young man in his thirties, the Three Emperors Temple does not accept worship on non-sacrificial days, if Feng Xue had not had a good relationship with Wu Zhu, it would be impossible to go to the Three Emperors Temple if there was nothing to do.
However, Xu Qin seems to be very good at dealing with this kind of thing, changing the innocent girl appearance before, but like a rich daughter who has undergone special etiquette education, she took out an envelope from the shrinkage bag and handed it to the young man:
"I am Xu Qin, a third-generation disciple of the Jinxia Sect, this is my junior uncle Ye Jing, we are here to serve as a resident monk, this is our letter of recommendation. ”
"Please wait. Hearing this, the young man's expression was still a little suspicious, but he still respectfully took the envelope and handed it to his companion beside him, and asked him to send it into the back hall.
After a while, an old man who looked to be in his early fifties, but with white beard, walked out of the back hall, saw Xu Qin and Feng Xue, to be exact, saw the leaf magic weapon they pinned to his chest, immediately nodded, and bowed:
"Xiao Lao'er is a local witch in Huainan, and the two Taoist elders came, and they missed the distance, and they hoped to forgive their sins. ”
"Wu Zhu is polite, I don't know when the handover will take place, where is our duty point?" Xu Qin replied with a polite but distant smile, and then asked with a familiar way.
When Wu Zhu heard her question, he probably realized that the girl in front of him was not a rookie, and he was obviously relieved, although this Huainan City is not as dangerous as those remote counties, but the wind and waves are a little more, and he really doesn't worry about handing over the lives of hundreds of thousands of people to two novices.
I saw him take out two tokens the size of a smart phone from his sleeve and hand them to Xu Qin, and said respectfully:
"This is the token of the two, the two can hand over the duties at any time with this thing, Huainan monks in a group of two, responsible for the people within a radius of thousands of miles of the station, the two do not have to stay in the station all the time, but the token must be carried with you, once there is an emergency, the token will warn. ”
(Five households are neighbors, five neighbors are li, and the area within a radius of thousands of miles does not refer to an area of several thousand or hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, but refers to the safety of about 25,000 households around the station.) According to the appearance of about five people in a household at the beginning of this year, about 100,000 people)
......
Saying goodbye to Wu Zhu, Xu Qin immediately seemed to have switched personalities, the original shrewdness disappeared all of a sudden, seeing Feng Xue's somewhat surprised eyes, he immediately waved his hand embarrassedly: "Uncle Xiao, don't look at me like that! After all, you can't lose the face of the sect, right?"
"Sure enough, even if she is destined to become a monk, this kind of woman from the royal family is also a drama spirit. Feng Xue muttered secretly in her heart, but compared to whether Xu Qin was really cute, Feng Xue was more curious about the token in her hand-
"Anyway, how is this thing going to be used?"
.....................
ps: Some people still have questions about "Dao", so let's talk about it.
First of all, let's be clear, what are the "rules" and "Tao", and what are the differences between them-
The rules themselves are objectively existing things, time, space, survival, reproduction, even if no one thinks about it, no one discovers it, they also exist objectively, so they are rules, rules are absolute, you have mastered the rules of time and the rules of time mastered by others may have a focus, but they are all different shares of the same time rules, the same time rules, you can stop people can stop, you can move others can move.
And the Tao is the innate spirit, or Hongjun in order to make up for the problem of no rules, the initiative to summarize the things, it is not an objective existence, but "I think so" so it is there, so everyone's Tao is different, even if it is called the way of the sword, there are also their own differences, the Tao cannot be inherited, even if it is taught, the enlightenment is no longer the original Tao, so each individual's Tao is unique. The same group of people, if you realize it, it is interpretation, and if I realize it, it may be interception.
With this in mind, let's look at the problem again -
Some people say that even if there is no sword, kendo exists, or that the principle of using a sword exists, but I just want to say that this is a failure to understand the relationship between primary and secondary.
If you don't have a sword, what is the reason for you to use a sword? Is it a swing and a slash? Is it a sharp sword? Is it a way to bend rather than bend? These can all be the way, you can call it the way of sharpness, the way of chopping, the way of preferring to bend rather than bend, you can even call it the way of martial arts or the way of weapons, but it is not the way of the sword, I don't understand?
Is wielding a wooden stick the same as wielding a sword? Is the sharpness of a stone the same as the sharpness of a sword? Is it the same as the bending of a sword? If it is the same, then it is not the way of the sword, but only itself. If it is different, why did it exist before the sword?
In conclusion, rules are objective, while the Tao is subjective and idealistic, so you can't say that he was there before the Tao was born, because what was there may be rules, but it was not Tao. The road is the road, and it is the road that needs to be walked by "people".
