Baitou Town, a town that can see the snow-covered Baitou Peak from afar, this is a town inhabited by mortals, most of the people in the town are relatives of the monks of the Taibai Sect who have no spiritual roots, although the town is not big, and it is relatively remote, but there is the protection of the Taibai Sect behind it, and it is also peaceful and peaceful.

A scholar dressed in Confucian clothes, followed by a scholar, but it was a woman, still young, with a sword on her back. The two walked slowly into the town of Baitou. The scholar's crisp voice sounded: "Sir, let's find an inn to rest for the night, and then leave tomorrow." The scholar looked up at the sky and nodded: "Okay! Just rest for one night, and then go up to Baitou Peak tomorrow." ”

The master and servant walked into the only inn in Baitou Town, and the book on the door of the inn was: Yuelai Inn. The clerk called, "Boss, open two adjoining rooms." ”

The boss shouted: "There are two adjacent guest rooms, Xiao Er, take two guest officers upstairs." Xiao Er came over, bent down and asked: "Two distinguished guests, please upstairs!" brought the two to the guest room, and the two looked at the guest room and nodded with satisfaction.

The scholar instructed: "Little Er, prepare a table of wine and food." ”

Xiao Er asked: "Two guest officers, do you want to be expensive or cheap?"

The scholar said: "As far as your specialties are concerned, make them exquisite." ”

"Understood, whether it was delivered to the two of you'd like to be in the room, or in the lobby downstairs. Xiao Er asked again.

"Just downstairs!" said the scholar. "Two guest officers, please sit downstairs, the wine and food will be ready immediately!" After Xiao Er invited the two of them downstairs, he shouted to the other running hall junior two: "Two distinguished guests order, one table of exquisite special wine and dishes!" The running hall immediately went to the back but conveyed that the little two led the two to a clean table, invited the two to sit down, the master and servant sat down, and the little two immediately made tea and sent it up.

The master and servant are Shao Yan and Lin Yunrou, as soon as they got off the mountain, Shao Yan told Lin Yunrou that this time they went down the mountain, in order to hone their hearts, both of them tried not to use magic powers, and felt everything as a mortal and tasted all kinds of things in the world. At the same time, he concealed his identity and investigated the truth about the murder of Lin Yunrou's parents as a person in the world.

If you just taste the world and travel around the world, you can do it, but to investigate the truth of the year, you have to be quite powerful, and at the same time, in order not to attract people's attention, you must not use the power of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, Yang Guang has not investigated for so many years, and the other party must be on guard against him.

In order to investigate the truth of the year, Shao Yan and Lin Yunrou must wander among high-ranking officials and nobles, it is impossible for ordinary people to make themselves celebrities first, become celebrities as laymen, and become big celebrities, which is difficult.

Shao Yan thought about whether there was a person who walked in the world on the earth and was a celebrity, and he really thought of it, this is Xu Xiake. So he directly borrowed Xu Xiake's identity, and also gave Lin Yunrou the identity of a scholar, telling him not to call himself master, just sir.

Since the two of them left the forest, they have been like mortals, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, Lin Yunrou began to feel fun, and after more than ten days, she unconsciously took on this role.

Before serving, Shao Yan asked Xiao Er, what are the local scenic spots, what are the customs and legends, Xiao Er also unconsciously talked with Shao Yan, and the wine and food also came up, Shao Yan and Lin Yunrou chatted with Xiao Er while tasting local specialties. At this time, a businessman at the adjacent table Shi Li asked: "Scholar Gao's surname?" Shao Yan also replied: "In Xia Xu Hongzu, the word Zhenzhi, self-proclaimed Xia Ke, because he loves to read the travelogues of the ancients, he yearns for it, so he is determined to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers, and the magic of the creation of heaven and earth. Your Majesty?"

The merchant couldn't help but be respected: "A scholar has good ambitions! Before the next year, he was also a scholar, but he had no hope of fame, so he went into business to make a living." I hope to read Mr.'s masterpiece as soon as possible. In the lower string of high school, still Jiangnan Wuhui people, currently ashamed of the Wuhui business in the north of the principal, the south of the Yangtze River landscape is beautiful, and the north of the country is majestic and different, Mr. can come early, the string high a step down to welcome!"

In the land south of the Yangtze River, there is a big river in the middle of the Central Continent, which flows through hundreds of thousands of miles, from west to east, and the tributaries flow over 10,000, which is actually the largest river in the world, and its name is called the big river. The south of the river is called Jiangnan, the land of Jiangnan, which is really a gentle and prosperous place, rich in the world, but the characters are weak.

Shao Yanjing said: "It turned out to be the big boss of the string, fortunately! I don't know how the boss of the string came here from Jiangnan, how did he go all the way?"

Xian Gao sighed, "Since Wu Hui came here, from the straight express all the way, it has been a thousand miles up, after more than a month, but full of disasters, thieves swarming, chaos has been presented, the Great Sui Imperial Court, it has declined." The people are small, and their lives are like mustard. When it comes to this issue, I can't help but sigh.

The straight road can be said to be the highway of this world, similar to the straight road of the Qin Dynasty on the earth. Based on rammed earth, eighty-one steps wide, the ground is as flat as a stone, because the world is too vast, on the straight road, there are special carriages to pass, with two horses to four horse-drawn carriages, the horses are similar to the earth, but because of this world, its speed exceeds the so-called BMW on the earth, and its cars can travel more than a thousand miles.

Shao Yan's heart moved, and he unconsciously asked: "I heard that the King of Jin once ruled Jiangnan, and I heard that it was very virtuous, but I don't know if it is as rumored." Lin Yunrou also pricked up her ears.

Xian Gaoyi sighed again: "During the management of King Jin back then, it was true that Jiangnan was peaceful, and the people were grateful. It's a pity that now it's the misfortune of all living beings in Jiangnan to be transferred to southern Xinjiang, and now the people in power in Jiangnan are greedy and have hidden counterintentions, looking forward to the king of Jin. ”

Shao Yan learned about some of the current general trends in the world from his conversation with Xian Gaoyi. After dinner, back to the room, Lin Yunrou began to study ink, and Shao Yan began to write his travelogue Baitou Mountain:

"The Baekdu Mountains, the dragon veins of the northern country, the east and west are thousands of miles away, and its head is the Baekdu Peak, the mountain is ten thousand miles high, and the snow is covered with snow, because it is named ......"

A travel account of Baektu Mountain, more than 1,000 words, not only records the geographical situation of Baektu Mountain, but also customs and products, and even Taibai Sect also vaguely mentions, of course, from the perspective of mortals.

"At the foot of the White Head Peak, the woodcutter hunters have been lost, and no one has been able to climb them so far. Therefore, according to the old legend, there was a Taibai immortal feathering with this, and its inheritance is endless, but outside the eyes of the world, there is a fairy market under the peak, and people say, those who have a fairy fate can enter the ......"

Shao Yan wrote, Lin Yunrou looked at it, and said with a smile: "Sir, you might as well go to the test for fame, maybe you can be named on the gold list and get a wealth in the world." Lin Yunrou has been in the mortal world since she has met and gotten along with mortals for more than a dozen days, and she has some understanding of the world.

Shao Yan said with a smile: "Qing'er, if you have time, you can also read the articles of the world, there is also a splendid view here, how to refine yourself, it is just a little bit of tempering." Lin Yunrou followed Shao Yan as a scholar, under the pseudonym Xu Qing'er, and Shao Yan was commensurate with this.

In the early morning of the second day, Shao Yan settled the house money, and said goodbye to Lin Yunrou and Xiangao, Xiangao went to buy mountain goods and furs, Shao Yan took Lin Yunrou to a small peak a few miles away from Baitou Peak, you can clearly see Baitou Peak, Shao Yan came out this time, not as a monk to walk the world, so I was not interested in asking what Taibai Sect was.

Shao Yan felt at the top of the peak, facing the southwest, looking at it, Baitou Peak was not in the front, but the entire Baitou Mountain Range had an indescribable agility at this angle. Asked Lin Yunrou: "How do you feel when you look from here?"

Lin Yunrou felt it for a while and said, "One is very kind, as if the entire mountain range is alive, as if it is about to fly." ”

Shao Yan said: "The angle we occupy is where the spiritual center of this mountain range is located, and you are born with a spiritual sense that is different from ordinary people, so you can feel it. ”

Lin Yunrou asked, "What is a spiritual sense, what is a spiritual sense, and how is it different from divine consciousness?"

Shao Yan explained: "Lingshu, a noun in Feng Shui, refers to the key place in the mountains and rivers, and governs the entire mountain and river spirit surname. The five techniques of the ancient Taoist 'medical life and fortune mountain', including the five kinds of physiognomy include 'seal phase, name phase, human physiognomy, family physiognomy, tomb physiognomy (feng shui)', feng shui has now become a trick for some charlatans, but practitioners do not mention it. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Spiritual consciousness is really a kind of sensing ability for the spiritual surname, you can find that spiritual objects are different before, this is the reason, but the monk's divine consciousness is a kind of use of mental power, and it has nothing to do with spiritual consciousness, how can a person whose spiritual consciousness exceeds ordinary people's ability to intuitively feel the good or bad environment." ”

"Sir, what are we doing here?" Lin Yunrou asked again.

"If I want to capture the spirit of the mountains and rivers, I must first choose the soul and hold the key to the mountains and rivers. After Shao Yan finished speaking, the map of the mountains and rivers had appeared above his head, as if a line of qi was pulling, and Lin Yunrou felt that the mountains and rivers seemed to fly into the map. The map of mountains and rivers has gone straight up to the sky, rapidly becoming larger, the phantom of the mountain range flies into the map, the whole mountain seems to be shaking, the map has been reclassified into Shao Yan's body, and there is an extra mountain range on the picture of the picture.

"Sir, what is the effect of absorbing the spirit of mountains and rivers on the mountains and rivers?" Lin Yunrou asked again.

"There is no effect, ingestion is only a spiritual message, and does not affect the entity. Shao Yan said, "Let's go down the mountain! The two of them launched the earth shrinking technique, and in an instant, they were already miles away, and after a while, Taibai Sect flew a few rays of light, hovered on the hill for a while, seemed to find nothing, and flew back.

Shao Yan and Lin Yunrou are already dozens of miles away, and the two of them are like mortals, walking slowly, the matter of the Baitou Mountain Range is over, the following turns to the south, the direction is the Tianyun Mountain Range, but the Tianyun Mountain Range is not as good as the Baitou Mountain Range, the length is only half of the Baitou Mountain Range, Shao Yan's plan to absorb the spirit of the Tianyun Mountain Range, turn to the northeast direction, enter the plain area extended by the two mountain ranges, is the location of the northern feudal country of the Great Sui, the Yan country is five thousand miles in radius, the people are fierce, and the Great Sui is because of the Yan, blocking the northern barbarian rakshasas.

Nothing happened along the way, but Shao Yan's travelogue added a few more articles, although it is not a large mountain range, but its mountain and river situation also has merits, and several mountains and rivers have been added to the mountain and river map.

After ingesting the spirit of Tianyun Mountain Range, he did not go to Tianyun Gate, directly to the east, not a day, came to a big city, but it was Pingyang City of Yan Kingdom, the soldiers at the gate of the city were very strict, as if something had happened, entered the city, Lin Yunrou was the first time to enter the big city of mortals, her eyes kept turning, the traffic was busy, the street was bustling, there were shops on both sides, there were small stalls and vendors on the side of the road, a middle-aged man carried a straw stick, which was full of rock sugar gourds, and a child took a copper coin and bought a string of sugar gourds, tilting his head to eat with relish. Lin Yunrou had never seen a sugar gourd, seeing the child's intoxicated appearance, she couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Shao Yan heard the sound of Lin Yunrou swallowing saliva, couldn't help but take out two copper coins, took two strings of sugar gourds, and handed them to Lin Yunrou, Lin Yunrou took a string in one hand, took a bite on the left, and a bite on the right, with a happy look, while eating, his lips were slurred and he recommended to Shao Yan: "Sir, this sugar gourd is so delicious, I have never eaten it." Sir, you can try it too. Shao Yan sighed in her heart, after all, she is still a child, even if she has become a high-level Qi refining cultivator, she is still an ordinary girl, and a string of sugar gourds will satisfy her.

It was almost noon, the two entered a hotel called Zuixianlou, went up to the second floor, picked a table by the window, and asked Xiao Er to serve wine and food, and Xiao Er left in response. Condescendingly, you can see the street from the window. Lin Yunrou somehow sighed: "Sir, I have never seen so many people living together, there are so many things, and I have not fought and killed, it is much stronger than when I was in Tianyunmen before." ”

Shao Yan Zhengse said: "Qing'er, but wrong, mortals also have mortal troubles, seemingly peaceful, and the bitterness is not something that mortals can't understand, just like the people on the street, who don't have their own troubles, and I don't know how many people are worried about their livelihood behind them." It's not like we don't have to worry about our livelihood. If you don't understand the road, you can't control your own destiny. ”

There was a bang on the street, pedestrians were in chaos, and a cry came from the window, "Someone has gone to collect the body of the assassin, it's been three days, and finally someone has come to recognize it, let's go and see!"

An old man drinking alone at a table not far from Shao Yan sighed: "It's a pity for that strong man! It's a pity for this righteous man!
