Chapter 157: Strange Goods
Ten years later, when he returned to Qianxun City, Tong Fei had mixed feelings in his heart.
When I saw the familiar city, what flashed in my mind was the people and things of the year. Although he was just a passer-by, he seemed to have a special memory.
Downstairs at the city gate, there are also bustling crowds waiting to enter the city, but most of the people who entered the city back then were some homeless people and traders, but now they are all monks dressed in bright clothes and shining eyes. But Tong Fei was in a trance, time seemed to have been stuck in his memory, and he felt that he was still the sick child in a hunting suit, and Lin Yutong seemed to be still by his side.
When it was Tong Fei's turn, he habitually took out a spirit bead and threw it into the frame next to the city gate. But then there was a taunt: "Hey, you're from there!"
Tong Fei woke up indifferently and noticed that the guards were no longer veterans, but a few brocade-robed guards. It was a young man who asked him, who seemed to be in the middle of condensation.
Tong Fei replied, "I'm from the west! ”
This sentence caused another burst of laughter, and even Tong Fei seemed to be waiting to enter the city behind him. Tong Fei didn't know why they were laughing.
At this time, a man in front of him stopped, turned around and glanced at Tong Fei, smiled slightly, and said to the brocade-robed guard, "I handed it over for him!"
As he spoke, he took out a spirit stone the size of a pigeon's egg from his sleeve and threw it into the frame.
Only then did Tong Fei realize that he was giving less. There is really no shortage of people in this world who are anxious for justice and righteousness, and the same is true for immortal cultivators.
To be honest, Tong Fei is really a little shy.
In the past few years, I have grown a lot, and I have got some treasures, but I haven't prepared much of this spirit stone, and there are some broken spirit stones in my pocket, which I have always saved.
It's not that the spirit stone is useless, but Tong Fei has never used it. The aura of the Dao Sheng Forest is so strong that it can wring out the spiritual water, and cultivating in the Dao Sheng Forest obviously does not need spirit stones. And spiritual materials are inexhaustible, so the concept of spirit stones has been ignored for Tong Fei. But leaving Dao Sheng Forest, the situation is different.
Of course, Tong Fei didn't expect that after ten years, the entry tax of Qianxun City would rise to a medium-grade spirit stone. He also thought that one of his spirit beads was enough, but you must know that his hundreds of spirit beads were coveted by a gang of gangsters.
The childlike thought to himself: It is really only one day in the mountains and a thousand years in the world, could it be that the price of spirit stones has fallen now, or has the price skyrocketed?
But no matter what, someone else paid for you, so go up and say thank you. So Tong Fei hugged his fist at the man in front of him and said, "This fellow Daoist, thank you so much!"
The generous one is a young man, who is about the same size as Tong Fei, and his age is almost the same, his skin is fair, his eyebrows are clear, and his eyes are beautiful, especially in a fairy robe, free and easy, although he can't be compared with those sword cultivators in Shushan, but he is relatively outstanding among the surrounding people, and his background is extraordinary.
Looking at him again, the spiritual light is in the eyes, the inner breath is peaceful, the five qi are harmonious, the condensation is not sluggish, the footsteps are light, such as the breeze, obviously this is the phase of building the foundation.
There are two kinds of distinguishing cultivation, one is to rely on aura, the second is to look at the complexion, the third is to look at the personality, and then it is to try real kung fu in a fight. Everyone has an aura, and there is a saying that is beautiful and overwhelming, although it is about women, but it is extremely suitable for men. Especially in the cultivation realm, there is a huge difference in rank, and for the weak, the momentum of the strong is pressure. Sometimes in order to show that they are strong, or in order to suppress their opponents, the strong will often release their momentum to the maximum to suppress the opponent. It's called grabbing!
As for complexion, needless to say, mortals know how to observe words and colors. The complexion of the immortal cultivator is not only in its detachment, but also in the five colors of the person, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, which are manifested on the face, or the fortune is on the head, or the lifeless.
Cultivators are more clearly distinguished, in the condensation period, the spiritual light is released, and the sharpness and agility surpass mortals, but they are not restrained enough. The aura is in the eye, which is the reason for the long-term cultivation of vipassana, the condensation of qi and the transformation of the element, and the nourishment of the inner sweetness, so that the eyes are clear and condensed but not dispersed. Unless some people who cultivate special eye magic can cover the aura in their eyes.
The internal breath can be perceived, and seeing through the five qi requires a certain amount of exercise and special eyesight. For example, Tong Fei's cultivation of the Five Elements can see through the attributes of the Five Elements and distinguish between loyalty and evil. It is divided into the earthly eye, the heavenly eye and the Dharma eye. Those who have the eyes of the earth see their spirits, those who have eyes of the heavens see their gods, and those who have eyes of the Dharma see their mysteries. Therefore, the mana is profound, and it can see through what mortals can't see.
Of course, even if most disciples can't look at people, they can tell the level of cultivation of others.
There are some mantras in the Zhengdao Gate, called Immortal Songs, which are compulsory courses for disciples before they enter the world. If you can refer to this, you can generally distinguish the cultivation behavior very well. Unless the other party deliberately covers it up.
Although Tong Fei is a casual cultivator, he adheres to Ji Rong's memory indoctrination, and before he cultivated, he followed Lin Yutong to many places, and his knowledge is broad, so he still understands this basic truth.
The immortal song of foundation building and cultivation says: "The essence of Zhongyuan is reduced to nothingness, and the spiritual root is implemented in the Ming." The Lingtai is open and the breeze is blowing, and it is either an immortal or a truth. ”
That is to say, building the foundation is to nourish the body with the Tao, purify the body with gas condensation, condense the gas into the element, open the Purple Mansion, and then rush through the two bridges of heaven and man, open the Lingtai Tianque, and realize the realm of the unity of heaven and man. After that, it is to break away from life and death, realize the avenue of heaven and earth, comprehend the law of the five elements, and condense the inner dan.
Therefore, looking at the young man in front of him, he was full of energy and spiritual light, but he did not have three flowers at the top, which means that he was already a top-level cultivator in foundation building, and he had not yet advanced to the Dan Dao. Its cultivation level is on par with Tong Fei's now.
The young man seemed to feel that Tong Fei was looking at him, and he also turned around and gestured to Tong Fei, his eyes flashing with a trace of kindness. Tong Fei suddenly felt comfortable. This is a person from the Immortal Dao Xuanmen. At first glance, it's the kind of thing that makes people like to be close. Tong Fei inadvertently had an idea in his heart that he wanted to befriend.
But at this moment, Tong Fei's voice came from Feng Nao's mind: "Master, be careful of this person, this person's soul power is not pure, and he is separated from the dead, and he is actually jealous of the virtuous and capable people." ”
When Tong Fei heard this, he secretly reprimanded: "Feng Nao, this is the mortal world, all living beings have a fate, don't just guess the degree, it hurts the heavens and the peace! Besides, my heart is pure, all evils do not invade, people are good to me, how can I speak ill of people!"
Feng Nao sighed, and without saying any more, Tong Fei still smiled and greeted the young man.
The young man smiled and said very open-mindedly: "Fellow Daoist, you don't have to be polite. I think the Taoist friend has just come out of the mountain gate!"
Tong Fei replied with a slight smile: "Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, I have been cultivating for many years before I entered the WTO. ”
The young man's gaze swept over Tong Fei, and he said: "Well, it's right to think about it, look at the Taoist friend's clear light, otherwise the wind and dust, with the aura of mountains, rivers and waters, must be a person of hidden cultivation." ”
Tong Fei replied with a smile: "I'm ashamed, I didn't expect that this Qianxun City would change so much, even the entrance fee is so high, can't the price skyrocket?"
When the young man heard this, he laughed: "Daoyou really hasn't joined the WTO for many years, of course I don't know, it's not that prices have risen, but that the market has risen!"
"Market?"
Tong Fei smiled and said humbly: "The people of the mountains and wilderness are really not very grateful for the smile, but unfortunately there are no spirit stones around, if the Taoist friends don't mind, I have some spiritual materials on me, but I don't know if the friends use it, so let's wait until the city changes some and then return the Taoist friends." ”
When the young man heard this, he hurriedly excused himself and said, "Brother Dao doesn't have to be like this, it's just a spirit stone." When people say that they are good to others and good to themselves, they should make friends with each other. ”
"My name is Mo Zikai, I don't know what to call you?" the young man asked casually.
"Oh, my name is Tong Fei. ”
Tong Fei saw that this Mo Zikai looked hearty and open-minded, and couldn't help but secretly think that Feng Nao was worrying. So I let go of my heart and talked to him all the way, as if I was familiar at first sight. Tong Fei knew that this Mozi Kai was a disciple of the Momen of the Kansai family, and the Mo family had never served the royal family, and had a prominent position in the Western Qin Immortal Mansion. Mo Zikai is the younger brother of the gate valve, no wonder he is so open-minded, but he has strong family resources.
Speaking of this intention, Tong Fei learned that Mo Zikai was almost the same as Tong Fei when he came here, and he was going to enter the Lingxu Sect to cultivate.
Tong Fei suddenly felt strange in his heart, he was a person from the Western Qin Immortal Mansion, and he should have a profound family tradition, so why did he come back to Lingxu to cultivate, and Lingxu was just the gate of the Middle Immortals. And Xiqin is the upper immortal gate. But this Mo Zikai spoke smartly, but did not mention it. Tong Fei thought to himself that everyone would talk deeply, which was normal. For example, Tong Fei did not explain his identity, but only said that he had been cultivating the mountains and forests, admiring Lingxu, and seeking the way.
The two have the same purpose, so naturally there are more topics, and Mo Zikai even invited Tong Fei to live with him. Tong Fei was about to excuse himself, but while speaking, he arrived in the city and came to an inn. This is Tong Fei's familiarity, but it seems to be very unfamiliar.
What used to be a bustling city is now bustling with people, with streets lined with lights and high-profile households, and crowded stalls on the corners, all of which are filled with cyclamen hawkers. It's more like a metropolis.
The gate in front of me was originally a liquor store called Welcoming Guests, but now it has been replaced by a cyclamen. The front of the door is several times larger than before, and the backyard is also covered behind it, and the traffic in front of the door is busy.
Opposite the liquor store is the pharmacy, Tong Fei remembers that he came to this pharmacy to buy medicine. When I came here, I couldn't help but think of the old man who used to give books.
Tong Fei thought he had to visit. But when I saw that the door plaque had been replaced with a new door plaque, and the gatehouse had also been raised, with three floors up and down, whitewashed, and renamed "Xianling Pavilion".
Tong Fei was suddenly a little stunned, and said in his heart: This plaque has been changed, and it is estimated that the old man should be gone!" Tong Fei was thinking about it, and Mo Zikai interrupted Tong Fei's thoughts: "Brother Tong, what are you thinking?
Tong Fei shook his head and smiled: "No, I passed by here many years ago and remembered an old man." ”
Mo Zikai didn't wait for Tong Fei to finish speaking, he seemed to know Tong Fei's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Brother Tong wants to know if the old man is still there?"
Mo Zikai's words made Tong Fei faintly stunned in his heart, and he suddenly felt that this Mo Zikai was really powerful, and he could see through his mind so quickly. It seems to be quite scheming. Thinking of Feng Nao's words, Tong Fei suddenly became a little wary in his heart.
Tong Fei replied lightly: "Forget it, it's been so many years, I guess it's not here, don't mention it!"
Mo Zikai seemed to be full of interest and said: "Brother Tong, let's go and have a look, let me tell you, this Immortal Pavilion is famous, I have heard about it in Yongdu, there are a lot of good things gathered here, even more than the treasury of our Immortal Mansion!"
"What is better than the Immortal Mansion Treasury?" Tong Fei suddenly couldn't believe it. How can such a big small store compare with the Xianfu Treasury, this is also an exaggeration.
But Mo Zikai was extremely enthusiastic, and his words were not without praise: "Brother Tong, I don't know, here not only sells the magic weapon elixir of the Lingxu Sect, but also the things of the immortals who travel between the north and the south, among which there are many essences of each family, I would have wanted to visit here for a long time!"
"How can the things of the various immortals be sold here?" Tong Fei asked strangely.
Mo Zikai then introduced Tong Fei.
Tong Fei heard it and realized it. It turns out that since the Lingxu Sect reopened the mountain gate, the children of various families have come here and want to enter the Lingxu Cultivation Dao, but the Lingxu Sect has very high requirements, in addition to building the foundation and cultivating for the above, but also to be innocent, and the general casual cultivators want to enter, even if the qualifications are good, they must go through repeated selection, and after confirming their qualifications, they will have the opportunity to take the entrance exam. Otherwise, you won't even have the opportunity to take the exam.
Many people fail once, three or four times, and they will not be defeated in a hundred battles. There are even people who live in the city for a long time, and the prices in the city have skyrocketed, but even so, some people have to survive at the cost of bankruptcy. Some people even do not hesitate to sell their fairy treasures in exchange for money.
Tong Fei was puzzled when he heard this: "Since the threshold is so high, there should be very few people who come! Why are there so many people?" Thinking of the fact that the entrance fee to the city had risen to a medium-grade spirit stone before, there were so many people lined up in a long line, Tong Fei felt very surprised.
Mo Zikai smiled when he heard this: "Tong Fei doesn't understand the truth that strange goods can be lived? The higher the threshold, in fact, people all over the world will flock to it, if those who come do not refuse, I am afraid that sooner or later few people will be interested! This is the wisdom of Lingxu." ”
Tong Fei shook his head, but felt that Mo Zikai couldn't refute it. Look at the city in front of you, this Qianxun city, ten years ago it was still a few people, but now it is like a metropolis, not only the streets are lined with shops, but also some cyclamen come and go, and even the entrance fee is as high as a medium-grade spirit stone. It's really a strange thing to live in.
