In the small temple, the scholar lifted his pen again.

Using blood as paint, he began to paint.

In fact, the ending of the story he told was like this. He begged the real person in Wudang Mountain to send the female ghost to a good family. And he stayed in this purgatory cave and painted every day.

Why use your own blood?

This is what the real person requested.

Because his blood is too domineering, if he doesn't use it every day, he may easily get out of this purgatory cave.

The scholar smiled while painting: "Since ancient times, scholars have been useless in the eyes of the world. It seems that this is really the case, sir, you have warned me not to be rash, it seems that I am still in the middle of the way. ”

The scholar knew that when he went to that small temple, someone was behind the ghost.

But he didn't mind.

After all, I knew her.

Coincidentally, after the scholar came to the Tang Kingdom from the Mingyue Kingdom, he found a lot of different places. For example, the status of a scholar, in the Mingyue Kingdom, is extremely tall and expensive, like a royal family.

But in the Tang Kingdom, it seems to be a little different.

In the Bright Moon Kingdom, scholars are like dignitaries.

There are many kinds of names, which can be roughly divided into two categories: asking for and receiving and adding. The former is also known as please give and this money, including material money and food and clothing. The latter is a subsidy in addition to the capital, including job money, Lu Su, kitchen money, additional expenses, tea and soup money, job fields, minister money, etc.

The government of Mingyue State "emphasizes literature over military force", and in the spirit of giving preferential treatment to scholars and doctors, the various incomes given to scholars are quite generous.

Of course, most of the officials are actually scholars.

For example, the prime minister's Yu Lu has 300 yuan of material money every month, 40 horses of silk and 60 horses of silk every year, 100 taels of winter cotton, 1 horse of spring Luo, 100 stones of Lu Su per month, 70 people of food and clothing, 1,200 bundles of firewood per month, 100 scales of charcoal, and 7 stones of salt every year.

In addition, the scholars of Mingyue Kingdom have thousands of dollars in their pockets, either rich or expensive, and their social status is enviable.

The commercial boom led to the collapse of the city's curfew, and in the city, merchants gathered, advertisements filled the streets, restaurants and teahouses, and Goolan tile houses can be seen everywhere. There are five or six "tiles" in Kaifeng City, which concentrate all kinds of acrobatics, teahouses, amusement arts, taverns, and green buildings.

Elder Meng recorded the gold and silver silk trading in the southeast of the imperial city in the "Jieshen Lane": "The house is majestic, the façade is vast, and the view is forested, and every transaction is tens of millions, which is appalling."

The reason why the commerce of the Bright Moon Kingdom has created much more huge wealth than the previous dynasties and future generations is completely the result of canceling the night ban and returning the night to the people and commerce.

Meng Yuanlao once sighed in "Tokyo Menghualu": "The night market will not open until the end of the third watch, and then the fifth watch will reopen, and the noisy places will be all night. "Although the winter moon is windy, snowy and rainy, there is also a night market. ”

At night, the ten-mile long street is brightly lit, like a paradise on earth. Upper-class officials and wealthy businessmen come and go. After dinner, all kinds of people set out in the colorful night, and rushed to Goolan Washe to watch all kinds of opera, sumo wrestling, and juggling performances, which were really crowded and lively.

When the scholar thinks about it now, he still misses the bustle of Kyoto in the Bright Moon Country.

But in this life, he can't go back.

The scholar of the Tang Dynasty, how to say it, gave him a completely different feeling. I feel that in the academy of the Tang Dynasty, everyone can study. This is absolutely impossible in the Bright Moon Country.

Mingyue Kingdom, not a nobleman, can't become a scholar at all.

And in Datang, ordinary people can also read.

In short, give him a good feeling.

What's more, after the scholar came to the Tang Kingdom, he encountered several groups of bandits.

As a new profession in Datang, bandits rely on their large number of people to live a good life on the road by robbing houses and houses. In the present human eye

, they are just a group of lazy and lazy villains who monopolize the mountain.

But these villains also have their own rules, that is, they will never rob scholars who enter Beijing to take the exam, why is this so?

Most of these bandits are from poor people, and most of them will join the ranks of bandits because of poor crop harvests and natural disasters. At first, it was just to rob some people passing by, and then there was a situation where the land was planted when it was ploughing, and it was robbed when it was not doing farm work.

So in the continuous development of time, the bandits also have rules for doing things. There are cases where people do not rob cars for joy and funerals, scholars and postmen do not rob, ferries do not rob, medical practitioners do not rob, money and gambling do not rob, eight-strand ropes are not robbed, car shops are not robbed, monks, Taoists, and nuns are not robbed, widows and lonely people are not robbed, and single night walkers are not robbed. It is by virtue of these rules that the bandits are getting better and better.

Scholars, on the other hand, are generally very poor and have no money at all.

In addition, the academy attaches great importance to scholars, and most of them live far away, so the local government will give them a flag engraved with the order to take the exam, and once something happens to the candidates on the road, the government will strictly investigate. Under the multiple weighing of interests and lives, bandits will not rob scholars.

Another point is that these scholars are very likely to be admitted to the official examination.

If you rob a scholar, one day he really becomes an official, maybe he will bring troops to come and exterminate you, and these bandits are generally local people, and they don't know where to go when they run away, so the bandits who think about the long term will not rob the scholars.

In the small temple, the realm of scholars is actually very high, but there is too much blood loss, and the realm is useless.

Although he is a member of Mingyue Kingdom, he has no ill will towards Yu Zhenyi.

Give Yu Zhenyi a gift, mainly because the stories told by Yu Zhenyi are good.

The scholar thought it was a little funny, there were few stories of the scholar meeting female ghosts in the Mingyue Kingdom, why were there so many in the Tang Kingdom? He still thought a lot along the way. The scholar and the female ghost are really a perfect match.

Because it is in the eyes of the world.

In fact, these stories originally came from the mouth of scholars.

When a poor scholar couldn't get into the fame and fortune, he fantasized about a beautiful and knowledgeable banshee and ghost who pasted herself upside down to help him succeed in the imperial examination. After winning the top prize, the scholar was taken by the prime minister's daughter again, and the banshee and ghost had the best thing to do, and she hid her merit and fame.

This is all thought by poor scholars.

It's like a monk trying to jump off a cliff to pick up treasures.

It's not that the female ghost is intentional, but the scholar is amorous.

Throughout the history of ghosts and monsters in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is talking about strange things or folklore. As long as ghosts are mentioned, they must be inseparable from women. This can't help but make people wonder, why are all ghosts women, and aren't there any male ghosts?

Or is a woman's physique suitable for becoming a ghost?

Ghosts leave the impression that there are more female ghosts, and there are often more female ghosts in traditional dramas. These traditional operas have been passed down for generations or even dozens of generations, leaving a deep memory in people's minds, and even becoming the content of oral transmission, which also makes the ghosts of women appear to be many.

The scholar found that the female ghosts of the Tang Dynasty have character traits such as beauty, virtuousness, integrity, and kindness, as well as the determination and courage to dare to speak out, love and hate, and never give up until the goal is achieved, which occupies a great position in the character of female ghosts, which is completely different from male ghosts.

In fact, there are many male ghosts in the Tang Dynasty, but in general, there are not as strong and almost common things as female ghosts. This is because the image of male ghosts is so rich that it is difficult to summarize it in one sentence. Compared to female ghosts, male ghosts appear paler.

The scholar felt that with such a big Tang Dynasty, it was no wonder that he could overwhelm Mingyue Kingdom.

In the end, he still drew the ordinary female ghost on the wall.

He looked at the man on the wall and fell to the ground laughing.

Yu Zhenyi left the ancient temple and came to the fourth layer of the Purgatory Cave Heaven.

He is still a little inexplicable, the first and third layers, are all battles. What are the second and fourth layers to test? He doesn't seem to have done anything, he hasn't honed it, and it's just gone?

The True Martial Sword was behind him, a little indignant.

Yu Zhenyi has always been fighting with his fists, and he hasn't drawn his sword since he came in.

It's a sword cultivator anyway, how can you not use a sword?

Yu Zhenyi stretched out his hand, pressed the hilt of the sword, and said with a smile: "Why don't you use it, because only when I am powerful, I will take out the sword." Normally, I just use my fists and play casually. ”

When Zhenwu Jian heard this, he could be regarded as resting in peace.

Yu Zhenyi felt that the true martial sword was spiritual.

And as his strength gets stronger and stronger, the spirituality of the True Martial Sword is also getting more and more sufficient.

Sword spirit, just by looking at the name, you know that it is tall, in fact, "spirit" is the spirit of the item or the spirit of enlightenment, or the spirit that appears after a long time, and the most ruthless is the spirit killed on the weapon!

The sword spirit is actually similar to other spirits, except that the sword spirit is a weapon spirit, which is more suitable for killing and exorcism applications.

To put it simply, many treasures absorb the essence of the sun and the moon all year round, and slowly accumulate spirituality, while some are attached to it by some spirits, and there are many causes.

There is a villain squatting in the sword, usually a little girl, and then it is particularly sharp when used, and the strength of the killing intent is directly linked to the power! It does not seem that as long as it is a sword-shaped energy group, it is a sword spirit, some people are accustomed to using swords, and they can also release sword qi with their own qi or energy, and this is not a sword spirit.

There are many people in history who like swords, and some people even think that swords are bloodthirsty and spiritual, and they are dissolved in the swords cast by the flesh and blood of living people, and the swords are spiritual and murderous, so many famous swords are said to be cast with living sacrifice swords.

It is very famous to be the two swords of the cadre Mo Ye, the cadre general, is a native of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and is also the most famous blacksmith in the Chu State, who specializes in making iron swords for people, at that time his reputation was far and wide, and it reached the ears of the King of Chu, and the King of Chu ordered him to build two swords.

Under the order of the king of Chu, he cast two swords, male and female, but it took three years, so the king of Chu got angry and wanted to execute the cadre, and the two swords cast by the cadre, one for the cadre, and the other for Mo Ye, he secretly hid the male sword and took the female sword to participate in the king of Chu.

When he left, his wife was pregnant, he told his wife that if he gave birth to a boy, he would tell him where the sword was, and later the son of the cadre, Chi, when he grew up, wanted to avenge his father, and moved a chivalrous man, promising to avenge him, Chi killed himself, and the chivalrous man took Chi's head to meet the king of Chu, killed the king of Chu with the sword, and committed suicide himself.

But this is a story adapted from a myth, in fact, the story of the legend is that King Wu knew that the cadres could forge peerless divine weapons, so he ordered the cadres to forge a good weapon for himself within three months.

At that time, after the general received the order, he took the black iron of the five mountains ** and melted it into the iron furnace, but this piece of dark iron is not a mortal thing, it is a meteorite from the sky, and it has not melted in the furnace for a long time, and the three-month construction period is gradually approaching.

The cadre and his wife Mo Xie were very anxious, Mo Xie knew that if he wanted to forge a good sword, it would be refined with the flesh and blood of a living person, Mo Xie wanted to cast a sword for her husband and jump into the furnace, but the cadre did not agree, but Mo Xie jumped into the furnace when the cadre did not pay attention.

The flames in the furnace then burst into flames, melting the dark iron, and Mo Ye tearfully took the two swords out of the furnace and named them after himself and his wife.

The aura in the human body enters the sword, and the fairy sword can be forged.

But this casting method is now directly banned by the Tang Emperor.
