Volume 1 Dead Leaves Return to Dust Chapter 71 Qu Ping
Quping Mountain is a hundred miles in circumference, and this town can be regarded as the largest and most prosperous place. The territory of ancient Xia was vast, and a city had a population of nearly 100,000, and whether it was life, entertainment, or friendship, which one did not occupy any place? Therefore, the breadth of the city is self-evident.
Although there are only four cities in the Northern Regions, but the towns under its jurisdiction are as innumerable as the stars, the so-called jurisdiction, but most of them are loose and excessive, one is that most of the immortal cultivators do not have the leisure to take care of mundane things, and the two places are separated by a very long distance, even if the mortals are the best horses, there are many inconveniences in the exchange of information between each other, if you rent a car and horse that is "blessed" by the immortal family, the cost of ordinary people is unaffordable.
Among the four cities, Beicheng is the leader, but although these four are in the Northern Regions, they often do not manage the affairs of the Northern Regions, but set up eighteen cities by Beimu, Beimeng, and Beining, and send monks to assist civil officials to manage them.
Although Gu Xia also set up civil officials to manage political affairs and help the people's livelihood, but where to compare with those military generals who have cultivated in their bodies, literati have been swaying for decades, it is better to cover the sun, moon and stars with a flick of their sleeves, so although they also set up scientific examinations, they are only looked down upon.
It was only in this generation of Emperor Xia, that is, Shangguan Xuanqing's father's generation, that he paid a little attention to these literati, and specially set up immortal ships to patrol the sky and pick up and drop off back and forth, of course, these are all gossip, don't talk about it.
But Rao has such a huge population base, can have a fairy fate to practice to the seven grades of mortal bones, and there are still very few people who have cultivated a mouthful of natal true qi, ordinary people are running around day and night for food and clothing, where is there leisure and spare money to support children to quench the body and build a foundation to enter the realm of mortal bones, not to mention talking about finding the ethereal heavenly opportunity, attracting the immortal root into the body, since then it can be seen that the difficulty of the fairy road, the difficulty of cultivation, and it is no wonder that the realm of the seven products is called the difference between the immortals and the mortal.
Thinking about it this way, Quping said that it was a small town, but it was really not small, at least it was more than enough to accommodate one leaf wither.
Ye Ku entered the town, he originally wanted to find Shangguan Xuanqing here, this Quping Mountain is only reckless, only this town is populated, in his mind, no matter where the princess of Guxia is blown down, she will definitely find a place to settle down in the end.
There are three of the most conspicuous places in this Quping Town.
Look at the mirror hanging, the duke is selfless, the errand people are all dressed in official uniforms to know that there must be the official mansion, there is a red list hanging above the mansion, there is a silver hook iron painting on it, the book says: Guxia Qu Ping, but it was issued by Shangyu, highlighting its official status.
There is a faint golden glow hanging from the Zhu Bang, and the entire Quping official mansion is faintly shrouded in the formation, although the Zhu Bang from the production to the documents are handled by the Shangyu civil officials, but this engraved divine pattern, turned into a golden glow to protect the official mansion of one party, highlighting the prestige of the imperial court, has to go through the hands of the monks.
This kind of Zhu Bang can be seen in the starry town of ancient summer, on the one hand, it can prevent the evil sect from doing evil and ruining the prestige of the official family, and on the other hand, it has its own heroic righteousness, and ordinary people will feel that there is no evil thought in their hearts, not to mention that they live here all the year round, and they have studied the local officials who are full of sages and sages who have taken the test, so this is also a means of educating the people's livelihood and conforming to the will of the people.
It wasn't until Ye Ku lived in an inn called "Yishan Pavilion" that the hustle and bustle in his ears finally receded and he was clean.
He was dressed in moon-white linen clothes, and he looked like a poor sour man without three taels of silver, but the guys here have not been slacking off at all since the beginning, and led Ye Ku to settle the matter of staying in the hotel, and when he saw Ye Ku's generous hand, he was even more respectful, and then he took Ye Ku to live in the best back garden.
The scale of the back garden of this Yishan Pavilion is very large, and Rao is divided into four annexes of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, and each of them can be called spacious. The other three gardens were all wrapped up by the three of the most generous and the most servant of the young ladies that Ye Ku had seen before, and just now I saw someone shouting and carrying things in large bags and small bags, but after entering his own "Xuan" name garden, there was no noise at all.
Ye Ku took over a separate garden alone, and this lonely figure stood in this large garden, which seemed a little lonely.
I was about to rest for a while, and temper the five elements of the five elements in the sea of souls to suppress the five directions, when I heard a voice coming from outside the garden, and its voice was like a crisp jade, polite, and said in a low voice: "Under is the person of Feixia Villa, my son-in-law passed through here, and fell in love with this place, I don't know if your Excellency can cut your love and give up the treasure land, I am willing to pay ten times the silver taels as compensation, if it is useful to Feixia Villa in the future, as long as it is reasonable and within the law, I Feixia Villa will definitely return to the court." ”
This garden originally had a ban on sound insulation, in order to prevent the outside world from disturbing the guests inside, so if it is really polite to come to the door, most of the visitors knock directly on the door, I have never met you, where is the reason to shout directly outside the garden?
Moreover, this brittle jade-like voice easily broke the ban, and although the words were modest, anyone with a discerning eye knew that there was some indescribable arrogance in it.
Ye Ku of this garden is also quite satisfied, he doesn't like worldly strife the most, and always feels that it is no different from a child's house, so he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and replied: "This small garden is very suitable for my heart, and I really don't want to move my body, I forgive you for being rude, it is difficult to allow hospitality." ”
Ye Ku's voice was also polite and courteous, and he deliberately condensed his divine sense, only transmitted the sound to that person, thinking that he was thoughtful, but he didn't want to hear a few footsteps, and he saw a young man in Tsing Yi coming uninvited, and his body was like the wind and entered the garden.
This Tsing Yi listened to the people in the garden and was not annoyed when he saw Ye Ku's face, smiled slightly, and gently bowed his hand to Ye Ku, but this simple gift showed some good demeanor, which made people only think that it was a certain son, not like an errand boy at all.
"Please don't make it difficult for me. If this errand is not in line with my son-in-law's wishes, I am afraid that a punishment is indispensable, I am willing to add another thousand taels of silver, and it should be an apology, I don't know what you think?"
It's just that this is not a question of how much silver is at all, yellow and white vulgar things can't get into Ye Ku's eyes at all, this person is uninvited, and he first poked the name of a villain, although he is a courtesy, but where will there really be a person in the garden in his eyes, Ye Ku was disgusted in his heart, and he just kept quiet, so he replied: "Not how." ”
Seeing that the person in front of him looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, he was annoyed and said: "Ordinary people who don't know how powerful my Feixia Villa is, where did this rural nouveau riche come from, only one person, he is free to come and go, and what is the matter with moving a place, but he refuses to give half face, which is really unreasonable." ”
If this idea is known to Ye Ku, I am afraid that I will really have to laugh out loud, everything is first and last, Ye Ku arrived first, and the house money is also paid in full, why do you have to give it to you, besides, if you are sincere and courteous, then Ye Ku also does things that are convenient for others, but you want to show off your means to disgust people, so how can you blame others for not giving face?
This evil guest is about to say again, there is a voice outside the garden, its voice is very good, worthy of the mellow Ruyi four words, just hear its voice can copy a personable rich son to come, said: "It seems that the guest in the garden is unwilling to move, that is, in the next bother, first pay a loss, and hope not to be surprised." Xiaoqing, come back. ”
In fact, there are more than ten carriages on the road outside the Yishan Pavilion, but there is a giant carriage that is all painted with red oil paint, carved with dragons and phoenixes, and decorated with Huasu, which is gorgeous and magnificent, and the voice of inviting Xiaoqing to come back is from this driving horse.
The people on the side of the road heard the name of Feixia Villa, and they all looked sideways, but they didn't know what the eldest son of Feixia Villa drove here but didn't go in.
"This Feixia Mountain Zhuang's great cause is big, who has never heard of their names in our neighboring places, and has always said that their eldest son is talented and knowledgeable, and has never oppressed innocent people with his cultivation and solid family background, and it is true that he saw it today. ”
"What do you know, the people who can afford to live in this place of Yishan Pavilion will be ordinary ordinary people? I think he is also scruples, where is it to treat people with courtesy. ”
"Don't care what you say, this eldest son's talent is indeed amazing, and he is fortunate to be born in such a good family, and he has been blessed with natural materials and earth treasures to refine his physical body from birth......"
Among these people, there are some who respect the eldest prince of Feixia Villa, and there are also those who slander because of jealousy in their hearts.
Ye Ku didn't have the heart to listen to these words, and after the little guy in Tsing Yi left, he went straight into the house to meditate, breaking the demon of "not knowing himself", and the five elements turned into five instruments to suppress the five directions of the soul sea.
Only those who attract the immortal root into the body have the opportunity to get a glimpse of their soul sea, and although the soul sea of ordinary monks only exists in the small body of monks, it can show the atmosphere of thousands of acres and acres.
There is no wind or waves in the sea of souls, and the sea water that the divine consciousness has turned into seems to be stagnant, and it does not move, only to see that there is no blue ocean in the extreme eye, but there is a mist shrouded in it, and the black shadow outline of the Ding or furnace is faintly visible in the fog of the five directions.
The monk's soul sea is the root of a person, usually as far as the eye can see, and there will never be any mist, as soon as his mind moves, he came to the edge of the mist, and a step further, the mist retreated a point, and retracted a foot, and the silky mist was further away, occupying the place that had just been vacated.
"It's strange, the method of the Five Elements entering the Divine Consciousness is supreme in the world, how can the soul sea be shrouded in mist and hinder my clear thinking?"
