Volume 1 Chapter 116 Fang Xiandao Fleet
Fang is a god, an immortal is an immortal, and those who know the immortal god are called Fangshi.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the monks fused the doctrine of immortals, the magic technique, and the yin and yang medicine to form the earliest school of service and erbium, Fang Xiandao.
He was also famous for being ordered by the emperor many times, refining the elixir, and going to the sea to seek immortals, and the representative figure was Xu Fu, who led three thousand boys and girls to the Three Immortals Mountain to seek medicine, as well as Li Shaojun, Gongsun Qing and others later.
It's just that the search for immortals has been fruitless, and there is no turning back, and there is a lack of systematic doctrines and theories, there is no scripture, and there is no sect organization, the decline of Fang Xiandao is inevitable, and it has diverted out the immortal Tao that continues to refine the pill and serve Erbium, and the Huang Lao Dao that respects the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu, and the Huang Lao Dao has changed into the Taiping Dao and the Five Buckets of Rice Dao, and by now, the Fang Shi has long been collectively called the Taoist.
Today's Fang Xian Dao still has no ancestral court, no jungle mountain gate, and there are few Fang Shi who inherit Fang Shi's thoughts, and they are loose and loose, often passed down from family to family, and several families form a fleet as an immortal search organization.
For example, the "Gongsun Clan" fleet that returned this time is said to be the descendants of Gongsun Qing, with a building ship, dozens of small and medium-sized boats, dozens of monks with different cultivations, and hundreds of ordinary crew members.
The Gongsun clan not only searched for immortals, but also did some maritime trade to maintain their expenses, but on land, in Nanhai County, there was only one Xiaoguan-level Baoding Temple as a camp.
Now the streets of Panyu are full of rumors, saying that the Gongsun fleet has boarded the legendary Penglai Immortal Mountain overseas, and has been received by the immortals, bringing back boxes of treasures and pills of immortals.
When Xie Lingyun and the three of them came to the wharf outside the Nanhai Temple, it was already lively, and it was a place where there were few people and were poor, and the vast wharf was crowded with people.
I saw a group of ships moored on the shore of the harbor, and the big flag embroidered with "Gongsun" on the ship fluttered in the wind. Among them, the building is more than ten zhang high, the ship building has four floors, very huge and extraordinary, majestic and mighty, and the strong men carry the old and mysterious treasure chests off the ship, and the people burst into bursts of cheers-
"Did they really meet the immortals? Didn't the immortals all fly to the immortal realm?" Ah Man was very suspicious, which immortal gave these people so many things, and was even more generous than the Xu family.
"Who knows, some real people may not be able to soar. As soon as Xie Lingyun said it, they all tacitly knew that Lu Zu was still in the world, and the two of them really met immortals.
Whether the Three Immortal Mountains exist or not, no one can say clearly, even which three have always had a variety of theories, generally Penglai, Abbot, Yingzhou, and Fanghu, Kunlun, etc.
Not only that, according to the "Records of the Ten Continents", in the huge sea in all directions, in the sparsely populated places, there are ten large islands inhabited by immortals and overgrown with Shenzhi fairy grass, which is the "Ten Continents", which is naturally the place that the monks dream of.
The legend of the "Ten Continents and Three Islands" may be true, or it may be the "inn" of the fairy world in the world, where the gods and immortals of the heavens want to go down to the earth to play, but it is certain that it is difficult to reach! Who knows whether the fleet of Gongsun of the Dao Dao really went there, or whether it was only to the overseas island countries such as Ryukyu and Dongying that had already opened air routes.
The three of them walked a little further forward and came to a stone monument in the middle of the court, where a circle of men and women, in good spirits, were monks from all locals and from all walks of life.
The innermost is a dozen or so Gongsun clan monks, so at a glance, their strength is ordinary, just look at those teenagers and girls of similar age, you can know that the breath of the foundation building realm is far inferior to the children of the ancestral court such as the Dragon and Tiger Sect and the Iron Pillar Palace, which is almost as optimistic as God.
The leader is a middle-aged man with tanned skin, wearing a white Confucian robe, a black square hat, a goatee, and an elegant appearance.
When I asked others about it, he was Gongsun Jing, the current head of the Gongsun fleet, no wonder Xiu Wei seemed to have reached the Dao Fetal Realm, the most powerful Gongsun in the audience.
At this time, he smiled and said: "This time we got a great fortune, and stayed in Penglai Immortal Island for three days, during which we saw all kinds of fairy scenes, and only then did we know that the legend of the Dao is true." And because we are sincere, we have told our Gongsun family's heart to seek immortals for thousands of years, and the immortals have mercy in their hearts, so they gave us some elixirs. ”
"Oh?", "Really?" Although the crowd was excited, they were a little calmer than the people.
Xie Lingyun asked in a suppressed voice: "Chun'er, do you see what he said is true or false?" Chun'er's eyes widened, using the instinctive wisdom of the nine-tailed white fox, she looked at it for a while, and replied in surprise: "It seems that there are both true and false, and it is not necessarily true to go to Penglai and meet immortals, but it is true that I went somewhere and got a lot of treasures." ”
"Wouldn't it?" Ah Man raised his eyebrows, the treasure is amazing enough, what kind of treasure are they?
Xie Lingyun nodded thoughtfully, what kind of treasure was found on a desert island, such a thing had not happened before, and it was not limited to the Fang Immortal Dao fleet, there were expedition teams of any Dao.
There are even records of ordinary fishermen who went out to sea to fish, encountered a typhoon, and were hit by a storm to a strange country that they had never heard of, lived for a while, and after repairing the boat, they were able to return to Middle-earth, but then they could not find Nazhou Island.
Of course, no one has ever found the elixir that has reached the sky.
"Thank you very much for coming to greet you. Gongsun Jing stroked his goatee and announced: "We don't dare to monopolize the immortal fate and go against the kindness of the immortals, so we want to share the spiritual treasure with everyone! Seven days later, we will hold a singing and selling party here in the Polo Temple, and give some treasures to everyone." ”
Hearing the news, everyone was very interested, and they said: "Okay, I will definitely participate then." "You have to get more good things out there." "That's right!"
The so-called "singing and selling" originated from the Zen jungle for the treatment of monks' relics, simply put, the monastery held a meeting in the Dharma Hall, openly sang and sold each item, the whole temple monks can bid, the highest price will get.
Ah Man was even more puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Are you so kind? Sell the priceless treasure that is so hard to get to others? Want to make money and want to go crazy?"
His lying look intensified. Chun'er also didn't believe it, and frowned: "If it's for money, why bother singing and selling, you can get more rewards for dedicating it to the court." ”
Xie Lingyun said: "Of course, I keep the good ones, and the ones that are sold should be the general goods inside, which can be regarded as a proof." ”
If the Gongsun clan can come up with some extraordinary treasures to sell, it is enough to show that they have better ones, and it also indirectly proves that what they say is true, and then they will be famous in the world.
Thinking of something again, he continued: "Also, if they mix in some ordinary things, and say that they got them from that immortal island, how can you tell the difference? Originally, a spirit rune that was worthless for ten cents started at a price of one hundred taels of silver, and you have some money, but you can't make a bid? Take a hundred taels and gamble?"
"Fish-eyed bastard!" The two girls really didn't expect this, and Ah Man said angrily: "Isn't that sure to be deceived by them?" Chun'er sighed: "It's so bad!"
"Then you'll have to figure it out for yourself. Xie Lingyun smiled and said, "There must be a few genuine items to appear real, unless everything is fake." ”
Although the three of them were talking to each other, and the surroundings were shouting, they didn't expect Gongsun Jing to be very good, suddenly looked at them, and said solemnly: "That young man in white, two girls, well, it's you, just now you said that you were worried that we would be confused, but my Gongsun Jing hereby guarantees that every treasure at the record sale is definitely a real treasure taken from the fairy island!"
At this moment, everyone suddenly turned their heads to look at the three of them.
