Armill Boots @ Chapter 5 Poor madness

Qingyun Town is not big, with more than 1,000 households.

The layout of the town is distinct from east to west: the entire north is the towering Langya Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles, blocking the direct road between Qingyun Town and Donghai County. The east is Qingyunfang, the west is a residential area, and the south is the pier and the sea. From the plank road of Qingyunfang Wharf, you can go straight to Langya Mountain, you can turn right into Qingyunfang, or you can turn left into the residential area of Qingyun Town.

The enclosed complex of Qingyunfang starts at the foot of Langya Mountain and extends directly to the South China Sea, separated by a four-lane carriage and horse avenue from the berm and rocks on the seashore. The eastern section of this carriage and horse avenue surrounds the eastern seashore, bypassing the eastern foot of Langya Mountain, and going north to the county seat. The residential area in the west of Qingyun Town is also built from the foot of Langya Mountain, and the houses are arranged in a staggered manner to the seafront, which is also separated from the shallows of the seashore by the four-car carriage road. The western section of Chema Avenue also surrounds the western seashore, bypassing the western foot of Langya Mountain and going straight to the county seat.

Such a layout is very ingenious, which shows that the history of such a town is simple. It should be someone, or a group of people, who have built a town step by step for a certain purpose, or guided the construction of such a town. This group of people was naturally the outer disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

Qingyun Town was named after Qingyun Fang, and few people in Qingyun Town knew that their town's name came from Qingyun Sect. For the Qingyun Sect, Qingyun Fang is just a fang market set up by the disciples of the outer sect to facilitate the service of the sect, and as for Qingyun Town, a small town formed by gathering merchants and multiplying people in the Fang market, it is insignificant to the Qingyun Sect. For many years, there has been no trace of any sect in the town, including the Qingyun Sect, and there is no obvious sign in the Fang City that it belongs to the Qingyun Sect. The upper-level people would not rashly embezzle it just because they did not sign it, at least Lord Sima of Donghai County and his subordinates would naturally not send tax officials to Qingyun Town. The decree of Qingyunzong did not come out of Qingyunfang, and outside Qingyunfang, it became the town where the major merchants in Donghai County were most willing to gather.

Because of this freedom, Qingyunfang has gradually developed into the most abundant and busiest market in Donghai County. At this time, it has entered the depths of winter, and the sea area may be frozen at any time, and the hunting of purple jade shells has entered the later stage. When the other markets in Donghai County were already crowded, there were still people coming and going in Qingyunfang.

If you want him to develop, give him freedom, and for homogeneous competition, whoever has the highest degree of freedom is ahead. Human beings have a natural tendency to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the repression of bondage exceeds the satisfaction of profit creation, so he will choose to escape and pursue a world that gives him more satisfaction.

At this time, on the road from Fang City to the wharf, there is a constant flow of traffic. Cargo is still being loaded and unloaded on the wharf, and more than a dozen ships are still moored in the harbor on the east side of the wharf waiting to be loaded and unloaded or replenished. Although the sea temperature is extremely low, there are still seafarers and hunters who continue to harvest purple jade shells in the shallow sea south of the wharf.

More than half a month has passed, and the time of the low tide has been cycled to the early morning, and today Warren went to the sea rabbit's house early, waiting for the old fart to go to the sea together. Last night, the three of them didn't practice anymore, they slept well, and when they woke up in the morning, their physical discomfort seemed to be much better. Now the three of them are walking on the carriage and horse avenue in the western part of the town, walking and dodging the people on the road, while looking at their hometown from a perspective that they have never seen before.

Prior to this, the three of them never knew that the town where they grew up was actually associated with a martial arts sect. As the bottom of the small town society, they will not care about this town. Now they are not what they used to be, and the dignified disciples of the martial arts sect, walking in the territory under the jurisdiction of the sect, naturally have to take a good look.

Soon, they discover the difference, not in the town, but in themselves. Today is definitely different from the past: if in the past, the vision in the eyes was only clear in front of the eye, and the afterglow was only a vague supplement, but today, although the afterglow perspective is still not as clear and perceptual as the front vision, it is far beyond the afterglow of the past, and the place that was originally invisible to the naked eye behind now has a vague perspective like the afterglow in the past. This may be a new way of perceiving, and it is by no means simply visual. Even the distance of vision in front of him has made a shocking breakthrough, and he can actually pass through the gate of Fang City, and see the needle and thread twitching on the leather of Liu Laohan, who repairs shoes thousands of kilometers away.

The three of them were shocked in disbelief at first, the first was discovered by the sea rabbit, and when the three of them verified each other, a kind of ecstasy bloomed in their hearts: if they could have such an ability on the day they captured the purple jade shell, where would they be afraid of any sneak attack? No matter from which angle the water arrow was shot, there would be obvious perception and avoid it early. The three of them seemed to see countless purple jade shells, and brilliant wealth came to their faces. The happiness of the little people is always so realistic and simple.

At this moment, a feeling of being peeped at suddenly sprouted from the bottom of my heart, and the three of them looked at the attic with a high wall in the north of Fang City. It was the territory of the owner of Fang City, and for the three of them, the bottom of the town was once a kind of high-minded and secretive area. At this time, with the three people with the background of the Martial Arts Sect, coupled with the abilities that have just been discovered, it seems that there is no longer a taboo existence in Qingyun Town.

The window in the attic should not be pasted with window paper, but should be inlaid with the bright embroidery used as a window screen by the legendary county and capital families. Ming embroidery is a specialty of Nannuma County, using a kind of ice silk, woven silk crystal transparent. This kind of ice silk, a diameter is about equal to five or six ordinary silk, with high toughness and more resistant to sun and rain. Inlaid in all kinds of windows, the people inside can clearly see the outside of the window, but the people outside the window can only vaguely see the characters inside close to the window. Because of this characteristic, Ming embroidery has become the most practical window screen. Due to the high market price, even large families are not willing to use it indiscriminately, usually just installed in the study, gatehouse, lookout, car driving pane, of course, the size of the pane is as small as possible.

couldn't see through the existence behind the window, and the sense of peeping faded after they found out, and the three of them no longer paid attention to it. And the man behind the window couldn't sit still. It's cosy in the attic. There are several paintings and calligraphy hanging on the four walls, a charcoal basin for heating is placed in the corner, and the ground is covered with brightly colored felt. An old man reclined on a chaise longue, holding an ancient book in his hand, twisting his beard, reading authentically, and waiting next to him was a palace beauty, carefully displaying the art of tea. Unable to sit still was a young martial artist, who was carrying a long sword even in the house, and he should have been the one who peeked at the three of them just now.

I only heard him say angrily and loudly: "Elder Du, you still have the heart to study? All three of them have come out, and my divine sense has just probed the three of them, and they have not yet been discovered? Could it be that they have already cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Divine Cultivation Period? If it weren't for the release of their divine sense, how could all three of them discover me at once? ”

"The love of the Tao is dark. Ignore and listen, hold your mind and be quiet. The form will be self-righteous, and the heart will be calm and clear. There is no hard work, no shaking essence, but you can live forever and quiet!" Seeing the young martial cultivator interrupting him, Elder Du was a little displeased, turned his eyes to look at him, and patiently taught: "Use your brain for everything, if you think about it carefully, how is it possible?

"Oh, so, no wonder it's so sensitive. Yes, it should have gone mad, I remember that I was in a hurry to practice* once, and in a trance, I felt that my cultivation had improved significantly, and I was about to show off among my senior brothers, but the master found that the origin was vain, and I was taught a hard lesson, hehe. Young Wu Xiu found that he was indeed too sensitive, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Well, Deacon Liu, go and spread a message to them that they must lay a solid foundation and not rush forward. The old man thought about it for a while, and felt that something was wrong, so he asked the young Wu Xiu, that is, Deacon Liu, to run an errand. "Yes, follow the elder's decree!" Deacon Liu shook his body, put away his idle heart, and responded solemnly.

The three people who went crazy didn't know it, and they were marching proudly on the carriage and horse avenue. The nudibranch's home is at the westernmost end of the town, and it runs through the western section of the carriage and horse avenue all the way. In fact, coming out of the nudibranch's house, you can go directly through the carriage and horse avenue, and go down to the road base to be a shoal. However, on the shallows in the west of the pier, the farther away from the pier, the smaller the size of the gravel, and more than 100 meters away is the delicate white sand, which is connected to the endless sea across the shallow beach. Among the stones buried in the mud and sand of the tidal flats, there is not a single stone with an outer diameter larger than a foot, and the one that is exposed outside the tidal flat is only the size of a fist. The only beaches in these flats are crabs, jumping shrimp and clams, which are common on a daily basis. If you want to hunt purple jade shells, you can only wear a diving suit and wade into the deep water area of the sea. Closer to the pier, there were more boulders. In the south of the pier and the sea east of the pier, even if the lowest tide falls, it will not fall out of the seabed, and if you want to go into the sea, you must either wear a wetsuit or step on the rocks exposed by the low tide and jump forward to the deep water until there are no rocks outcropping.
