Chapter 669: Qujiang City
He Miaomiao was accustomed to seeing jade slips, how could she usually have the time to read books, and when she saw that there were no paper scrolls or paper scrolls in this store, she couldn't help but guess that she was in the wrong place, and asked hesitantly: "I don't know if your store has a map of the Hao Heavenly Realm?"
The young man hugged his fists, got up and saluted, "Yes, there are some Daoists, wait a while, Xiaosheng will go and get it." ”
"Thank you. He Miaomiao sent him to the backyard and took a copy of "Qu Li" on the table to read.
The five constants of Confucianism are benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith, and Confucian cultivators have used this to restrain themselves from the beginning of their entry into the Tao, and have deeply integrated these five words into their blood and bones. Of course, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there will be no shortage of pseudo-Confucianism, corrupt Confucianism, and evil Confucianism.
As a classic of Confucian etiquette, "Qu Li" is almost a copy in the Haotian realm.
He Miaomiao flipped through it casually, and saw the book "Moral benevolence and righteousness, incivility cannot be achieved", if you want to achieve moral benevolence, you need to start from the rules of life, and moral benevolence is associated with the spirit of Haoran, it can be seen that the word etiquette is the most important thing in Confucianism.
After a few words, the door to the backyard was pushed open again, and the young man walked out with six scrolls, one of which was much higher than the others.
He lightly placed the scrolls on the long table one by one, and waited for a long time before taking out the longest scroll and spreading it in the air. "Fellow Daoist, this is the map of the Haotian Realm. ”
He Miaomiao choked, but he didn't expect the map to be drawn on paper, drawing three zhang long and one zhang high.
The young man didn't notice anything, pointed to a small piece in the center of the map very thoughtfully, and patiently explained: "Fellow Daoists, please see, Qujiang City, where we are located, is in the middle of the Haotian Realm. It is bordered by Luming Mountain in the east, Mingjing River in the west, Sage Forest in the north, and Guyang Academy in the south. ”
He Miaomiao followed what he was pointing at, and saw that the entire Haotian Realm was like an irregular Fang Ding, and the Qujiang City where she was located occupied a very small place, slightly west in the middle of Fang Ding.
The Luming Mountain and the Sage Forest mentioned by the young man occupy a large area, and the Mingjing River Basin is not small, but these are not as good as Guyang Academy. In addition to Guyang Academy, there are one large academy in the southeast, southwest, and northwest, which seems to be almost inseparable from the large sects in the outside world, and it is the holy place of cultivation in the Haotian Realm.
If He Miaomiao wants to ask for scriptures and classics about Buddha and demons, he must visit a large academy, even if he can't see the hidden books, he can look for relevant clues in the outer courtyard.
As the largest academy in the central part of the country, there must have been various books in the nearby city, so she made up her mind to go south first, so she looked at the relevant route more seriously.
"May I ask Daoyou, if you go to Guyang Academy, is there only one way to go?" After looking at the map for a long time, He Miaomiao found that the only road marked was located in a mountain range that covered a large area.
The academy and several nearby cities are located in the depths of this mountain, and no matter which direction you go, you have to go through the mountains and mountains to enter it.
"This is the only way to go, even if you go to other cities, you still need to walk through the mountains in the end. The young man nodded, with a bit of yearning in his expression, "If it weren't for the lack of strength under you, I would also want to leave everything and go into the mountains." ”
The cultivation method of Confucianism is completely different, and those who read through thousands of books, or those who are strong in Haoran's qi, are not slow to advance.
But strength is related to understanding, most of them use pens, books, paintings, etc. as magic weapons, and those who have a pen under the chapter are not much weaker than Taoist cultivation. If you have poor understanding, you will definitely suffer when fighting.
When He Miaomiao heard him say this, she hurriedly asked, "Could it be that there are high-level demon beasts in the mountain?"
The young man nodded yes, and then added:
"In previous years, it wasn't so difficult, and you can enter even if you are careful to avoid demon beasts. It's just that in the past two years, some great Confucians have deliberately set up formations, and the closer they get to the academy, the more they will be tested. If the mental comprehension is slightly poor, it will be led out of the mountain by the formation. ”
He Miaomiao didn't expect to go around the academy, there were still so many obstacles, the Great Confucian was the honorific title of the refining period, and the formation they set up personally, she didn't have much confidence that she could pass.
It is not only a test of understanding and heart, but it is mostly to accept apprentices, He Miaomiao didn't have the ability to join in the fun, so she simply stopped thinking and asked elsewhere: "May I ask Daoyou, in addition to Guyang Academy, can the other four major academies still visit?"
"There are Dongting in the east, Lingshan in the west, and Qingxi in the south. The young man pointed to three points, and finally pointed to a road to the north, "Only Jixian Academy, regardless of the Dao Demon, can go." ”
"Jixian Academy......" He Miaomiao's gaze swept across the Sage Forest, looking at the large and small cities, mountains and rivers, and the northernmost near the edge of the map was the location of Jixian Academy.
"If you want to go, you only need to go through the Sage Forest and go to any city to take a flying boat. The young man pointed to the map again and carefully described several routes to walk alone so that she could choose.
He Miaomiao listened carefully, and after writing them down one by one, he turned his eyes to look at the other five scrolls, and when the young man saw this, he immediately took out one of them and said: "This is a map of the north, and the other volumes are maps of the east, west, south, and middle, and you can also look at them if you need them." ”
"Thank you, Daoyou, I want these six volumes, how many spirit stones are there?" Although she can't go to the other major academies, the small academies and the city can always try their luck, and the more maps, the better.
"This ...... This image is not for sale...... Fellow Daoists just have to write it down. The young man was a little embarrassed, and hugged his fists again and again, "Although this painting is not as good as everyone's work, it is painted by my father, please forgive Xiaosheng for not being able to sell it to Taoist friends." ”
He Miaomiao didn't know that he had talked about it in detail, but he didn't think about doing business at all, and he felt a little emotional, "It's me who is abrupt! Then may I ask Daoyou, there are maps and jade slips for sale in the store?"
The young man chuckled and shook his head, patiently explaining:
"We rely on pen and paper to record everything in the Haotian Realm, and Jade Jane is rarely used. Drawing maps is a compulsory course for us, so keep it in mind when we travel, and draw what we see when we return from retreat. The more roads I walked, the more detailed the painting became, and the little life had not yet been painted, so I took my father's out. ”
He Miaomiao looked at this map at this time, and there was admiration in his heart, this map of Haotian was very detailed, if he didn't go all over the world, he couldn't draw it at all.
The young man stood up as he spoke, left all the scrolls on the table, and hugged his fists towards He Miaomiao: "Fellow Daoists, please take care of yourself, I'll go outside to dry books, if there is something to call me." ”
He Miaomiao saw that he had no intention of receiving spirit stones at all, so he had to hurriedly write down the map, turned around and came to the bookshelf, and picked out some books of interest to buy.
In the store, from miscellaneous books to poems and songs, to scriptures and classics, He Miaomiao picked a few copies of each, a total of 2,000 spirit stones.
After packing the scroll and saying goodbye to the young man, and being politely sent out of the store, He Miaomiao turned around and went straight to the inn in the city, planning to rest for a day before hurrying.
