Chapter 516: A Ray of Light
"This is the Yangzhou of '100,000 yuan around the waist and riding a crane down to Yangzhou'?"
Although it was known that the radius of hundreds of miles from the Yangtze River to Lianghuai has not ended to this day, and it can be regarded as a buffer zone between the Northern Zhou and Southern Chen, the sparsely populated people along the road and the barren fields in villages and towns are still greatly beyond Shi Zhixuan's expectations.

On the contrary, the Yangzhou City at the end of the line of sight in front of him is dilapidated, but it is still roughly preserved, and the majestic appearance of the city's high walls makes him feel a little comforted, but unfortunately the popularity of Yangzhou City does not seem to be vigorous.
However, the title of "land of fish and rice" is not given in vain, the water and soil are extremely fertile, and what you see is not thousands of miles of red land after the raging war, but all the wild grasses and artemisia that are more than one person high.
"Yangzhou was originally second only to Jiankang Jiangzuo famous city, very prosperous, but the richer the place, the more people in the war, the more people are in trouble, the catastrophe is coming, I know that the prosperity is like a bubble, and it will be broken when I touch it!"
An Long cautiously took over the conversation, a pair of mung bean eyes looked around for business opportunities, and tried not to look at the two people in front of him - those two people were dressed in a pure purple robe, chic out of the dust, and a vassal king weaving a golden plate dragon robe, handsome and mighty, the most eye-catching thing is that the faces of the two are three or four points similar, if they are not father and son, they are brothers!
In fact, until this moment, An Long, who boasted of his excellent eyesight, still hadn't been able to tell which one was the real Big Brother Shi? The former was of course the person who passed on his martial arts essence when he first met, and the latter was also a business partner who accompanied him as a master craftsman for half a month, both of whom had admitted that it was his Big Brother Shi, and they both knew all the dealings with him, no matter how big or small.
The eyes and bearings of ordinary masters, as well as the method of distinguishing people's unique innate temperament that is secretly passed down by the Demon Gate, cannot be used on the two people in front of them at all.
After speculating in his heart for a long time, An Long had palpitations for a while, but he wisely didn't ask more, and only regarded the two as one person, or as two sides of the same body.
Officially inaugurated as King Wu's Phantom No. 1 said lightly: "The Southern Dynasty added 30,000 troops to the river bank last month, and wanted to cross the river again in this month to attack, invade Huainan and Yangzhou.
It's ridiculous, just 20,000 weak southern soldiers also want to deter the lonely king?"
An Long wiped his cold sweat, "I'm afraid that the Southern Dynasty also understands that if there are fewer soldiers, it is completely underestimating the eldest brother, if there are too many soldiers, it will cause the misunderstanding of the eldest brother, and the 20,000 elite soldiers are just right in their opinion, and they can also express their willingness to live in harmony with the eldest brother."
If the younger brother expected it to be true, as soon as the eldest brother entered Yangzhou City, he would receive a large number of gifts and greetings sent by the emperor of the Southern Dynasty.
In any case, the prestige of the eldest brother forcibly stopped the war between the north and the south for several years, and gave the people of Lianghuai and Yangzhou time to recuperate, which can be described as immeasurable merit!"
Phantom No. 1 glanced at the barren fields beside the road, and said disdainfully: "What's the use of sending some gold, silver and jewelry to the Southern Dynasty, what Lianghuai and Yangzhou are lacking now is food and population!"
Shi Zhixuan smiled slightly, patted An Long's shoulder, and said seriously: "Little pig...... Now that the war in the south and north of the Yangtze River has stopped, the business travel from the south to the north will surely flourish again, and there will be countless business opportunities, and gold and silver will roll in.
As long as you can help me sincerely help me develop and prosper the fiefdom, I can make the navy blockade the Yangtze River, and prevent the rest of the caravan from passing, so that you can monopolize all the business between the north and the south...... You think about it, I'll go first. β
"Hey, I'm always too soft-hearted, and I can't see the people under my jurisdiction being poor and displaced......
Before he could finish speaking, Shi Zhixuan turned alone in the direction of the Yangtze River, and his feet were as straight as shrinking into inches, and he disappeared after a while.
The rest of the Phantom No. 1, An Long, Wu Wangfu staff and a huge team of 30,000 riders continued to drive towards Yangzhou City.
An Long's mung bean's little eyes were rolling for a while, and he soon said to Phantom Demon No. 1 with a smile: "The eldest brother has great ambitions, how can the younger brother not support it?"
However, please forgive the younger brother for bluntly saying that Lianghuai and Yangzhou are a horse and a flat river, there is no danger to be feared, although the water and soil are rich, but it seems that it is not suitable to rely on the foundation of hegemony?"
Phantom No. 1 said angrily: "Didn't I say it all, I'm always too soft-hearted, and I can't see the people under my jurisdiction poor and displaced?"
The development of the fiefdom is purely for the benefit of the people, so that what they see when they go out in the future will be happy, healthy and happy...... Please do not doubt the purity and greatness of my wish!"
An Long looked dumbfounded, obviously not believing this kind of words.
"The lonely king wants to dominate the industry, and he still uses hard work to operate? Wouldn't it be better to go back to Chang'an directly and let the faint monarch take the throne?"
Phantom No. 1 straightened out the luxurious crown inlaid with gold and jade, his face was facing the sky, and he was domineering, "When I enter Yangzhou City in a while, I will arrange for someone to post the Anmin list, tax exemption list, and recruitment list in the name of Wu Wangfu......
Of course, the most important thing is the recruitment list, which is dedicated to recruiting poor scholars...... The cultural level of the Hanmen scholars is limited, but it is better to endure hardships and work hard, work hard, and use the Hanmen scholars as grassroots officials to manage the displaced people and appease the people.
As for you, little pig, you must launch your caravan network as soon as possible, and recruit displaced people from all over the southeast and northwest to send fiefdoms ......"
Hearing that he never mentioned the future start-up funds and food, grass and military salaries, An Long suddenly had the realization of acting as the wronged leader, and couldn't help but look pained.
"The family background of the Heavenly Lotus Sect is indeed rich, but it can't withstand the 30,000 steps of riding and tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of homeless people in the future to eat horses?"
............
Shi Zhixuan crossed the Yangtze River by treading water, and went straight to Jiankang City at a gallop, ignoring the spirit of Zhenyuan.
Today, once he concentrates a little, he suddenly feels that he has become the center of the universe, the essence of the sky runs down to the top, the earth spirit qi penetrates through the feet, and the two vitality of one yin and one yang converge in the operation of Zhou Tian, so that the whole person is wandering in the ocean of heaven and earth, at ease.
This is what Zhuangzi said in "Wandering Away": 'If the husband takes advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the distinction of the six qis, and the infinite swimmer, he is evil? β......β
In the past, Shi Zhixuan grabbed the essence of heaven and earth, often drawing the yang energy of the sky and the yin energy of the earth, and used his own body as the Taihe oven that fused yin and yang, but since the last time he obtained the six catalogues in the desert miracle, although it was a high imitation, it also gave him some extremely crucial inspirations, which is today's more important building.
The note at the bottom of the third catalogue reads: "One close and one open, to the yang, to the yin, the vitality is in the breath, and the vitality is in the breath. Those who move cannot be self-contained, and those who do not move must not give up themselves. The sky is the sky, the non-cathode is not born, the poor is the opposite, the road is poor, and there is no way to enter. ], it dawned on him.
In particular, the sentence "the sky is the sky, and the yang is not born if it is not the cathode", if it is extended, there should also be "the earth is the earth, and the yin does not descend if it is not the anode".
It refers to the yang as the sky and the yin as the earth, but when the power of heaven and earth converges and reciprocates, the yin of the earth reverses the yang energy and rises into the sky, and the yang of the sky also reverses the yin energy and falls to the ground.
If a practitioner can follow this principle, inheriting the yin energy that falls from the sky and the yang energy that rises from the earth, that is, receiving the yin energy with the parkway on his head and the spring on the bottom of his feet to contain the yang energy, then the process of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth can be twice as effective, as if the power of heaven and earth is pushing people to cultivate all the time.
If Shi Zhixuan's expectation was correct, this was the fundamental mystery of the immortal recipe that went straight to the innate at the beginning, and the speed of gathering qi and returning qi was far better than that of most exercises in the world!
If it is said that his original Yang Qi of the heavens and the Yin Qi of the earth are drawn down, and he uses his own body as the method of the Taiji oven that integrates yin and yang, which is that the heaven and the earth are static and the people are moving, then this diametrically opposite of inheriting the yin of the heavens and receiving the yang of the earth is the Yang of the rising earth, and the Taiji Dharma of the sun is the law of the sun and yang intertwined with his own body, that is, the heaven and the earth are moving, and the people are static.
Both are taken from the yin and yang Taiji principle of negative yin and yang of all things, the former is like the yin and yang fish body of the Taiji diagram, and the latter is like the yin and yang fish eyes of the Taiji diagram.
As a matter of common sense, it is obvious that the latter is better and more in line with the operation of heaven and earth!
However, if the two are combined into one and operate at the same time, the upper part is connected to the clear yang of the sky and the yin of the yang, and the turbid yin of the earth is connected to the yang of the yin, forming a complete Taiji yin and yang fish, which is obviously clever and heavy, and is more and more close to the way of heaven and earth.
Just like Shi Zhixuan's ease at this time, he truly achieves endless vitality and never exhaustion!
All of a sudden, dozens of miles around the wilderness, every bit of life under the land also had a subtle feeling with him.
Since comprehending this mystery, coupled with his cultivation all the time, Shi Zhixuan's physical body has certainly successfully transformed into a fish swimming in the sea of heaven and earth, and the realm of thinking and consciousness has also continued to expand, not limited by the real space, so that he often feels the space of the strange dimension, or even the material world beyond reality.
[Refining the Void and Merging Dao], so far a ray of light has been revealed in front of his eyes!
It was also at this moment that his Yang God was finally able to pass through the time and space, and barely sensed the spiritual imprints from his previous lifeβthe two spiritual imprints left in the half-hung golden body and the purple void sword.
It was a sudden fantasy at the last moment of his last life, and he deliberately left it in that world to serve as spatial coordinates!
Now I was overjoyed to be able to really sense it, but what was even more unexpected was that the imprint in the half-hung golden body was obviously gradually weakening, while the imprint in the Purple Void Sword was gradually getting stronger!
In fact, according to what he had seen and heard in his two lives, it could be inferred that in the case of the depletion of the free heaven and earth vitality in that world, no matter what spiritual thing, after losing the warmth of the sufficiently rich heaven and earth vitality, it would gradually lose its spirituality and become a mortal thing.
And if he couldn't sense and lock the coordinates of that world before those two spiritual imprints completely dissipated, then it would be impossible for him to find that world in the vast space and space. (To be continued.) )
