Chapter 28: What is Wealth?
Zhang Jingxuan did not lie, since he was touched by the elder who was eager to learn, he had little time to facilitate the selection of books at the bookstalls in the city, and stumbled upon this drawing in the dusty "Tao Te Ching" in a corner. Booksellers don't know why they sell such unpopular books, you must know that the bestsellers in Fengxian City are often some books with such contents.
For example, "The Highest Realm Master - My Memoirs", "Teach You to Cultivate to the Supreme Realm by Hand", "One Day to the Realm Guide" and so on.
And the bookseller saw that someone was willing to buy such an unpopular book, and was very happy to sell it to Zhang Jingxuan at a price that was almost free of charge.
As for this drawing, the ghostly lines may be a commentary on the Tao Te Ching.
It's a book that few people read, so it's not surprising that there's anything in it.
So the bookseller was not suspicious, but complacent because he no longer occupied his bookcase.
This drawing is useless to Zhang Jingxuan or Li Luofeng, and the two brothers think about it, so it is most appropriate to give back to the elders with this drawing, and at the same time, it also matches the identity of the elders of the same knowledge.
You must know that although the Yanjia faction is not as powerful as the Jingshi faction, the Tongzhi elders in Fengxian City are even more firmly suppressed by the scholars elders, and the relationship between the two elders is tense, but the two brothers can't wade into that troubled water, not to mention that the Tongzhi elders have the heart to help themselves.
It is reasonable to express it.
Elder Tongzhi slowly calmed down his excitement, and said in a slightly sharper voice: "Nephew Jing Xuanxian, do you know how precious this thing is, you actually gave it to me so easily? The inheritance of the Yunting faction has been extinct, and many of the things in its faction have been lost, and the artifact of this town faction, the Yunting Flying Boat, has long been destroyed in the hands of the ancient demon Grand Duke, and now I have seen this drawing, it is really a blessing in my life!"
When Zhang Jingxuan heard that it was related to history, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Oh, this flying boat is an artifact of the Yunting Sect's Town Sect?"
The fellow elder said lightly: "Yes, in fact, this artifact was given to the Yunting Sect Patriarch by my ancestor back then!"
Zhang Jingxuan continued to ask, "Then how much do you know about the Yunting Sect?"
The elder looked at Zhang Jingxuan and said, "Didn't your master tell you?" That's right, the disciples of the Qingcheng faction have never liked to read, and there are many scattered classics in the sect. The Dojo of the Yunting Sect is right under our feet!"
Zhang Jingxuan couldn't help but bow his head and was stunned: "What?
The same acquaintance elder said: "No, it's at the former site of Fengxian City!"
In the research room, the two of them were already sitting on the ground.
I saw the acquaintance elder with a look of reminiscence on his face, and said in a deep voice to Zhang Jingxuan: "I also read it in the notes of a certain generation of elders of my sect, back then, the ancestor of the Yunting faction, Jing Fangzhen, and the patriarch of my sect have always been close to each other, but they just bent on seeking the Tao and ignored my ancestor's intentions. Back then, the first artifact made by my ancestor who broke through to the realm, Nian Fang Feizhou, was given to the ancestor of the Yunting faction, but to my ancestor's surprise, when he arrived at the Yunting faction, it became the artifact of the Yunting faction of this town! Nian Fang Nianfang, my ancestor's intention was already so obvious, but it was renamed by Jing Fang's real person, which is really emotional! The biggest feature of this Yunting flying boat is that it can make monks who have not yet reached the upper realm of the Dao Law have the ability to fly to the sky! Moreover, there is more than one person, and it all depends on the level of the monk who controls the artifact.
To say that the former site of this Yunting faction is under this Fengxian City, because it is too close to the Western Boundary Mountain, after the ancient demons flow into the Central Plains, the first to bear the brunt is the Yunting faction, at that time, all the Dao masters of the Yunting faction fell into the hands of the demon god and the ten dukes under his command, and the sect was greatly damaged because of this. And after the ancient demons were driven back to the Western Boundary Mountain, the Yunting Sect had a hard time inheriting it, and finally disappeared into the world! In fact, according to my research, Shiqian, the old city of Fengxian City, is a disciple of this Yunting Sect!"
Zhang Jingxuan's eyes couldn't help but widen: "What? No wonder it's so!"
The old city lord Zhang Shiqian can be said to have made immortal contributions to the foundation of Fengxian City, and his words still inspire young people to continue to forge ahead.
The ancient demons are not destroyed, why should they be at home?
At that time, Fengxian City was not as prosperous as it is now, and the old city lord Zhang was not born near Fengxian City, so how could he have such a deep feeling?
In this way, there is a reasonable explanation, this is the hometown of its sect.
The Elder of the Same Acquaintance nodded, and said with a sad face: "Old City Lord Zhang has paid a lot for Fengxian City, and his Dao cultivation has even been delayed because of this! The magic weapon he used, the Qingling Sword, is in line with the characteristics of the Dao of the Yunting Sect: after a sharp blow, he lacks stamina, otherwise how could he be beheaded by the Earl of the Ancient Demon Wade at that time!"
Zhang Jingxuan also yearns for the old city lord Zhang in his heart.
The voice of the elder here choked slightly: "Once, when the war was tight, I also saw Zhang Ling'er, the sister of the old city lord Zhang, and the magic weapon she used was the measuring ruler! This thing and the Qingling Sword are both tokens of the head of the Yunting Sect, and I also accidentally learned about it when I communicated with the elder of the school later. Later, after the death of the old city lord Zhang, Yu Youhui and I also searched for Zhang Ling'er in many ways, but we couldn't do it, so we could only give up! I just hope that she won't be stupid and take the initiative to seek revenge on Count Wade!
Hey, if I had paid more attention, I would have found clues, and if I had known that I would have been protected by Old City Lord Zhang at all times! I was only too young at the time!
Between the words, there is a lot of remorse!
Zhang Jingxuan couldn't help but be silent, with a heavy heart.
Suddenly, Zhang Jingxuan remembered something, he looked at the Tongzhi Elder and said: "I remember hearing that there seems to be a legend in the cultivation world, Tongzhi Elder, you have been in Fengxian City for a long time, and the initial money for the establishment of Fengxian City was to discover the treasure left by the Yunting Sect, is there such a thing?"
Elder Tongzhi didn't answer directly, but raised the blueprint in his hand and said, "Isn't this a treasure? In comparison, to some extent, it is even more important than the Qingling Sword or the Heavenly Measuring Ruler. ”
Zhang Jingxuan couldn't help but be stunned.
The Fellow Elder sighed, and said with a rare persuasion: "Actually, I don't blame you for thinking like this, now that the disciples of the various sects of cultivation are living in abundance, the ancient demons are also retreating. Nowadays, the young disciples are all looking for the quick Dao method, but they are afraid that one day they will practice to the supreme realm, and no one will be willing to study the wisdom left by their predecessors. What is wealth? It is not a box of gold, a elixir that is hard to find, or a powerful magic weapon or secret realm left by a master of the highest realm! Wisdom is wealth, your qualifications and temperament are very good, don't bother with those rumored treasures, after all, this is not the right way, or use more mind on the classics. ”
Zhang Jingxuan nodded.
I saw that the acquaintance elder suddenly exhaled deeply, got up and said with a light smile: "But it's far away, thank you for the generous gift of Master Jingxuan! I have written down this important favor, the old city lord Zhang has already gone, but it is enough to see the old city lord's voice and smile in the Jigong Pavilion of the city lord's mansion! I have arranged for the kitchen to make some wine and food, don't shirk it!"
Zhang Jingxuan couldn't help but laugh lightly: "Then I'll be disrespectful!
The fellow elder finally smiled: "You must know that the patriarch I sent - Master Chongyan is from that chef!
