Volume 1 The Story of Asama Chapter 58 New Intelligence
Copper bells, featherless arrows, river whiskers, jade bottles.
This is the four existing law phases of Xiao Ming's True Spirit Pool that Jiang Feng learned through the "phase splitting technique", and then reflected it through the "concrete symbol", and did not say the name.
"You can choose one as your future dharma phase. ”
What, there is such a thing? Xiao Mingzhen's eyes instantly became round, and he looked at Jiang Feng with incredible eyes, awakening the law phase, isn't there a heaven in the dark, even if the parents are monks of the same kind of law phase, it is impossible to give birth to children of the same kind of law phase 100%, and even the same kind of law phase is only a very possibility, this is the heavenly principle that has been proven by the monks of the cultivation world for generations, now, let yourself choose by hand, what is the situation?
"Guluo bronze bell, silver feather iron and stone arrow, Miluo phantom heart grass, mutton fat jade net bottle. ”
Xiao Mingzhen read out the names of the four Dharma phases one by one according to the patterns that Jiang Feng had concretely created.
This time it was Jiang Feng's turn to be surprised.
Xiao Mingzhen's cognition of the law instantly subverted his previous evaluation of her. This willful girl who loves to lie is still quite knowledgeable, in contrast, she only gave a simple name according to her image, and even a kind of "river whisker grass", which seems to be wrong. Unexpectedly, although "Wenxiu" is still as barbaric as "Wuxiu" in his bones, he is still superior in Bogu Tongjin.
"I choose the Gulo Bronze Bell. ”
Xiao Mingzhen spent at least two incense sticks pondering left and right, until the image on the figurative symbol was about to dissipate, and then he gave an answer. This is a little different from Jiang Feng's prediction, Jiang Feng originally thought that she would choose the "Feather Arrow", that is, the "Silver Feather Iron Stone Arrow" in her mouth, from the image of the Law Phase, this is the only kind of combat Law Phase, but Xiao Mingzhen obviously hesitated for a longer time on the "Guluo Bronze Bell" and "Miluo Phantom Heart Grass".
"If you don't lie to me, you're even better than I thought. Xiao Mingzhen said seriously and respectfully for the first time, although it was not the first time he had used the title of "you", Jiang Feng felt the sincerity in these words.
"The same goes for you. ”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and talked about other things, and did not continue to dwell on the matter, as if each had received a treasure.
............
Dayi County is more prosperous than Jiang Feng imagined.
Of course, this prosperity is still some distance away from the slums of Zhenwu City, but compared to the appearance of other places in the Assanyama Sect, it is already good.
Construction is being done everywhere, and not everyone can afford to hire "building monks" to build quickly, and many still rely on mundane power. The uneven pavilions and pavilions, and the messy stacking of various colored materials, are all visible. Fortunately, the market was planned early, leaving a lot of room for future development, from this point of view, Ding Baozhen, the deacon of the Construction Service Division, still did a lot of work, thinking of this, in his heart for the maid Ding Lingyun's escape from Zhanchuan Town, he was also a little more relieved.
Yu Xiaozheng's shop is located in the northeast corner of Cross Street, although it is not the best location, but according to the judgment of the future flow of people, it is also one of the best prime locations. The storefront is not large, only about 50 steps, but the depth reaches 200 steps, a typical "front shop and back home" pattern, unlike most of the surrounding shops, his shop opened early, presumably hired a "construction monk" to build it quickly.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Feng made the decision and chose an inn with a soundproof magic circle called "Yuelai". The group settled down first, presided over the ceremony that night, and removed the first Dharma phase "mutton fat jade net bottle" for Xiao Mingzhen, and waited until the drop of spiritual liquid fell into the gourd, regardless of the exhaustion of spiritual energy, explained a few words to the two maids and Hu Cong, and went out at night and rushed to Yu Xiaozheng's grocery store.
"You're finally here. Yu Xiaozheng was actually there, and he hadn't slept with red eyes, in order to facilitate leaving the sect to manage the store, he tried to find a way to ask someone to take care of it, and did a position of "foreign affairs walking", so he could get rid of the pain of "pointing". Seeing that he was alone, Yu Xiaozheng whispered mysteriously, "Hey, what about the girl?"
"What girl?"
"Don't fool me, this Dayi town is now full of ox carts pulling goods, you are a troika, and there are all kinds of bells and whistles, are you blind to me?
"Oh," Jiang Feng tilted his head back, revealing a smile that everyone understood, "So you know everything." ”
"Don't interrupt, I ask you girl, can you introduce it to me?"
"He has two Xuan-level guards, if you want to go, go and report my name. Jiang Feng patted Yu Xiaozheng's shoulder, and encouraged him a little.
Ignoring Yu Xiaozheng's entanglement, he casually found an empty room to sleep in, compared to the inn that was monitored by Xiao Mingzhen's guards, Jiang Feng here was more trustworthy, Yu Xiaozheng at least would not harm himself.
This simply furnished guest room is located in a corner of the courtyard, from here you can catch a glimpse of the vast wasteland in the backyard, think about maybe this is the land he bought in advance, now there is no need to wait for the shop on the street to catch fire, the land price should have doubled, this is what he specially asked the innkeeper, but he has counted Xiao Mingzhen's advance payment of a third-order, there are enough three third-order, and seventy second-order loose money, there is no need to be so anxious to sell the land, maybe you can wait.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zheng Keyi gently knocked on her door.
Compared to what I saw last time, Yi's complexion was obviously much darker, and the original elegant outfit disappeared, replaced by "vulgar powder", and even wore gold and silver things that were common in the mundane, of course, this was all to integrate into the life of this place and facilitate movement.
To say that working in this originally deserted Dayi town is much harder than being a mortal woman in the Zheng family, and shouldering the tasks given by Jiang Feng is not only tiring, but also tiring. When appointing her to Dayi County, Jiang Feng only gave her a second-order pocket money, compared to the price here yesterday, a second-order can't be too much, presumably the difficulties caused by financial constraints will not be too little.
"I've seen adults. The two of them made an appointment, met outside the sect, and uniformly used the title of "adult", Yu Xiaozheng was doing a grocery store, and he would not set up such non-essential things as a soundproof magic array, so Jiang Feng thought that the next purchase, it was necessary to add some "soundproof notes", this kind of second-order standard rune, although it can only have the effect of one stick of incense, but in most cases, it is enough.
"How's it going?"
Zheng Keyi told the information collected recently, without any complaints and complaints about difficulties, which made Jiang Feng deeply gratified, and there was little nonsense, Jiang Feng originally didn't know much about her, after all, a few days after being sent to "sleep", she was brought over to be a secret agent, so this report was the first time that the two had a deep conversation.
Zheng Keyi can be regarded as having initially opened up the situation here, Dayi County now has more than 1,200 permanent residents, the daily passenger flow is about 200 people, and the monthly large gathering can reach 600 people. These figures are estimated, and it's not easy to be able to do this while helping out in the store.
She also organized a small group of "sisterhoods", the development targets are ordinary women who work here, ranging from teens to fifties, and now there are twenty-nine members, Zheng Keyi will be a good hand embroidery, through the exchange of skills with the "sisters" - these can earn some pocket money in Dayi Town - take the opportunity to chat with the family, collect all kinds of information, although the level is not high, but it is better to cover a wide range.
With Yu Xiaozheng's encouragement—mainly the need to take leave—she is still learning the identification of spiritual grass and the binding of magic vessels, which are relatively practical and superior mundane crafts, and once learned, she can enter a more advanced circle, and the information she can obtain is also more detailed and effective.
She is a good girl who is willing to improve, knows her own shortcomings, and knows how to change this status quo through hard work.
This is the preliminary evaluation given by Jiang Feng, that is, the foundation of the Six Law Phases is really too poor, Jiang Feng plans to continue to investigate her for a period of time before making a decision. Now it's about to be the time for the Hanshan Sect Festival, and Xiao Ming's real business has already packed the schedule, and he can't spare time at all.
Although it was complicated and mostly rumored in the market, there were three pieces of information provided by Zheng Keyi, which still attracted Jiang Feng's attention.
The first is a report on the people in the sect. Twenty days ago, Wang Jiufu in the door once came to Dayi County and stayed in the "Ruyi" inn, because the price of the wine indicated by the store was wrong, the two sides had a little conflict, Wang Jiufu also suffered some minor injuries, and the matter caused a lot of waves in Dayi County.
Wang Jiufu is one of the three Xuan-level monks of the Wang family, Wang Xiandao's nephew, who previously served in the Department of Rites and Rites, and has been removed from his post after the reform of the Sixth Division. What is he doing here, the key is whether he will make trouble in the inn for a little money, there must be something strange behind this matter.
The second about the Hanshan faction, which was talked about by the local Wu Ma during a casual chat, said that there have been many spies from the Hanshan faction in Dayi County recently, although they are dressed in disguise, but the subtle accent differences still somewhat expose their differences.
The Hanshan Sect is approaching the Festival, and it is natural to send monks to detect the situation in the vicinity and ensure the safety of the Festival, but he frequently goes in and out of the Qianshan Sect, and he may have other purposes, and he is connected with Wang Jiufu? Could it be that he is the one who leaked the whereabouts of several elders, and if so, then the person behind it will be Wang Xiandao, but what good is it for Wang Xiandao to do this? He has a special promise, or is he smashing the mess? Jiang Feng thought about it, there were too few clues, he couldn't make a judgment, and this matter had to be considered in the long run.
The third thing is not a secret, but an event that is known to the entire Oyi County and even the northern part of the Asa Yama Sect. Li Xianwu, the director of the middle cabinet of the Imperial Wind Sect, fled, and it is said that he came in the direction of the Asa Shan Sect, so the Imperial Wind Sect sent a five-member law enforcement team into the Asa Shan Sect to search, but he returned without success.
The "Cabinet Member" is a high-ranking official of the Imperial Wind Sect, and his status is between the foreign affairs elder and the foreign affairs deacon. Of course, there can't be a simple analogy, because the governance method of the Imperial Wind Sect is different from that of the surrounding sects. As a model of "cultural cultivation" governance, the Imperial Wind Sect has no clear requirements for the cultivation of officials, and even ordinary people can be in high positions, only need to read poetry and books, and after being admitted and trained by "Taixue", they can serve in the "Taige", "Zhongge", "Xiage" and "Badu" according to the completion results, Taige manages the internal affairs of monks, Zhongge manages foreign affairs, and Xiacha manages mundane, and Badu has different functions, running through the Tai, Zhong, and Xia Pavilions. The "Cabinet Council" belongs to the deputy officials of the "Cabinet Elder", and there is generally more than one.
As a common problem of "cultural cultivation" governance, every few years, there will be official defections in the Imperial Wind Sect, most of which are caused by the collapse of officialdom and the failure of the power struggle, and the Imperial Wind Sect will rarely come forward to chase and flee. Most of the people named "Li Xianwu" escaped this time, but I don't know why this person was pursued by the law enforcement team of the Imperial Wind Sect, which is really rare, and maybe there is an ulterior secret hidden on his body? Jiang Feng looked at the portrait, the reason why this wanted warrant can be widely circulated in the northern part of the Asa Mountain Sect is definitely because the reward is enough for ten second-order coins, and this money is enough for an ordinary mortal to live a well-off life for the rest of his life.
After receiving the portrait of the wanted warrant, Jiang Feng directly took out five second-order spirit stones to Zheng Keyi as funds for follow-up activities, and stopped her from presenting the detailed bill for the previous expenses, and instructed her to do everything cheaply, without reporting everything. Zheng Keyi was flattered by this kind of generosity, you must know that she has never seen such a generous amount of "pocket money" in the Zheng family.
Dismissing Zheng Keyi, Jiang Feng sat quietly for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and was about to go out to the "Yuelai" inn to check Xiao Mingzhen's physical condition, but heard a familiar voice outside the door.
