183. Xu's Soldiers
Although the words spoken by the elderly Taoist cannot be immediately verified, there is some truth. Sima didn't know how to refute after hearing this, so he could only ask how to crack it.
Lao Dao did not tell him directly after hearing this, and deliberately shook his arms. The arm shook and the sleeve of the shirt was heard, and the sound of gold objects hitting each other was heard.
Ordinary gold objects are not put in the sleeve, and most of the noise is money. When Sima Wenzhi heard the voice, he realized that this person was asking for money.
After knowing about it, the interest was greatly reduced. He ignored the old way, got up, and continued to walk out of the street.
"Little brother, two taels of silver. Seeing this, Lao Dao hurriedly reminded him.
"One or two is enough, you and I are destined, and I will give you half of it. Seeing that the reminder was ineffective, he began to compromise and spoke again.
"Dao Chief, can you use other things to settle the account?" Sima asked, and then returned, as if accepting the proposal.
"If it's worth some money, it's fine. Lao Dao responded after hearing this.
"The kid knows a little about physiognomy skills, look at the face of the Taoist, in less than half an hour, there will be a bloody disaster, so it's better to leave here quickly. Sima asked a quick response.
"Poor Dao is kind enough to help you, why are you so rude. After hearing this, Lao Dao understood that the reason why the person in front of him returned was not because he wanted to give him money, but because he sincerely wanted to have fun.
When he understood, he opened his mouth to scold. After the reprimand, he did not put away the stalls, but moved the signboard cloth outwards to more than double the size of the stalls.
Sima Wenzhi was not annoyed when he heard the reprimand. Then he got up and left, no matter what the old Tao said, he didn't pay attention to it.
In less than a stick of incense, when Lao Dao was still thinking about what happened just now, from the corner of the street where Sima Wenzhi walked, a team of patrol soldiers appeared.
Chenliu County is a military important place in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Junyi is the place governed by Chenliu County, and it is common for soldiers to patrol the streets. Lao Dao has been here for a long time, and he has been used to this matter, so he didn't care about it after seeing it.
However, after the leader turned the corner, he did not pay attention to the signboard cloth on the side, and he could not dodge and collide head-on.
"Who's Fan Bu, so blind!" After colliding, the leading soldier covered his forehead and scolded and asked.
There is no need to ask, after Sima Wenzhi left, only Lao Dao and his hexagram stall were left here. Without waiting for Lao Dao to justify, a soldier walked out of the queue, beat him up and walked away.
"Reckless savage, brutal!"
After the soldiers walked a little farther, Lao Dao stood up on the bluestone on the side of the street, and began to curse in his mouth.
"Alas, the disciple of Qingxuan Mountain Sect is still so unruly. After scolding, he changed his mouth and sighed, and disappeared after a few breaths.
When the old road was rare, Sima Wenzhi had already turned into the small road in the city.
The sides of the main street are just not bustling, and the paths outside the main street already look deserted. After looking at the customs for a while, he walked back to the main street and walked towards the opposite gate.
"This man is greedy for money, but he is very persuaded. Walking back to the main street, I didn't see the old way, Sima Wenzhi muttered.
Walking out of Junyi, Sima Wenzhi no longer took advantage of the county town and began to walk around the city.
Although there is a saying that "five miles away, different folk customs", from a practical point of view, the customs of several adjacent regions are roughly the same. Just like before, the gap between Gao Ping and Fang Yu is not common, and it will not be easily encountered.
There are other reasons why the city is no longer in the city.
His practice had been abandoned for some time, and he wanted to find a sparsely populated wilderness to resume his cultivation and consolidate his practice at the same time.
Soon after Sima Wenzhi walked out of Junyi County, Langya spotted him in the distance and ran towards him quickly.
After crossing the border between the two countries last night, Sima Wenzhi was worried that there would be an accident when he brought her into the city, and told her to wait in front of her.
When Sima asked if he didn't show up, Langya looked around for a place to live. The dense forest was not found, and a place with only a few sparse trees was found.
The trees are not only sparse, but also not long, only the thickness of a thumb. Sima Wenzhi couldn't lean on, so he casually cleaned the dirt at the root of the tree and sat down on the ground.
Fortunately, it is inaccessible and undisturbed. After Sima Wenzhi instructed Langya, he began to guide the spirit to resume cultivation.
As the cultivator grows, the aura that can be contained in the body will also rise. Sima asked about the last few times he had attracted spirits, and he could detect that each time there would be some changes compared to before.
However, this kind of change is only a slight increase in the aura that can be accommodated in the body, and there is no substantial change in cultivation. At this time, he was in the middle stage of the god-man, and if he wanted to step into the later stage, he could not do it overnight.
When the spirit is restored, it is necessary to meditate and concentrate. After the aura was filled, his mind gradually let go, and Sima Wenzhi began to think about other things.
In Junyi City, he said that Lao Dao would have a bloody disaster, and he did mean to have a pastime. However, he turned away, not because he didn't believe what the old Tao said, but because he didn't want to listen to the solution.
If the prediction is good, after paying the money, the old Tao will advise him to let go of the past and be cautious in his words and deeds. What he was going to do was in conflict with these, and even if he listened to it, it was in vain.
After hitting the road again, Sima Wenzhi took Langya all the way west. Half a day later, it bypassed Xingyang, and it was not far from Luoyang in Henan County.
On the way, there was a strange movement in his arms, and after waking up in the wind, he changed his previous decadent appearance, spitting snake letters and kept sniffing north. After dozens of breaths, he glanced at him, and then got back into his arms, and there was a lot of hesitation in his eyes when he went back.
Dozens of miles away in the north is the Great River of China, which is also the birthplace of Chinese civilization. The action of riding the wind comes from nature, and the dragon likes water, although it is far away, it still has sense.
Another day, after a rapid march, a man and a wolf can faintly see the city of Luoyang.
According to legend, Dayu built the ancient Xia Kingdom, and the capital was near Luoyang at this time. And in the Shangqing Sect classics, Luoyang is also mentioned.
The name of Luoyang is taken from the yang of Luoshui. In ancient times, there was a turtle out of Luoshui, carrying Luoshu, dedicated to Emperor Xia.
Inspired by Luoshu, Emperor Yu created a Taoist practice of Yu Bu, accumulated merit and soared to the upper realm, known as Taiji Zhenjun.
After the ancient Xia Kingdom, after the Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han and other dynasties, until the Jin Kingdom moved south, Luoyang was still the capital most of them.
It's just that in recent years, Henan County has been rich and has been repeatedly warned, and this place has gradually declined.
When Sima Wenzhi took Langya to the outside of Luoyang City, it was getting dark. The messenger at the gate was urging the people to move quickly, so as not to miss the hour and delay them in their errands.
But he was not in a hurry, and he had no intention of entering the city. The person recommended by Fang Yu County was not in the city, but somewhere on the outskirts of the city.
Unlike the Song State, which set up Lizheng Township to manage the people, the Wei State did not have these positions.
At that time, most of the wealthy families who did not move south established dock forts to live together, and rushed to each other's aid in order to protect themselves in the war.
Over time, some wealthy suzerains emerged in the local area.
