A carriage was galloping in the beautiful fields of the southeast, following the main road, and like the busy merchant vehicles around it, it gathered together in an inconspicuous flow.
They started their journey in the most ordinary way, just like ordinary people, stopping when they needed to, eating when they needed to eat, and resting when they needed to rest; because everything was done according to the coachman's arrangements, and the coachman's uncle didn't even know their status as monks.
Of course, it is wrong to call them uncle. Since they are nearly a hundred years old, the coachman should call them uncle and aunt.
Because we have to find places to hit the top, we have to find accommodation, and we have to take the main road that is convenient for carriages and horses, so the speed is very slow; it does not exceed two hundred miles a day, and every time we go to a larger city, we have to change carriages and even horses.
Coachman, they can spend a few days in the local area and the journey will be even longer.
Hou Zi originally wanted to take care of his wife's mood. They have been together for decades and have never really spent more than a year together. This is a bit excessive. But when he really settled down and was no longer as distracted as he was at the beginning, he also
Gradually I felt the benefits of traveling like this.
It's time to take a break. Since I entered Taoism, I have been working endlessly like a tireless donkey. I have never stopped pushing myself to become stronger.
The occasional so-called rest is actually to accumulate strength and prepare for the next challenge. The rhythm is too fast and the strings are too tight. This is not a good practice rhythm.
Therefore, after the initial discomfort, I slowly adapted and gradually became immersed in it. I regarded myself as an ordinary mortal and had my own mortal happiness.
As the wheels rolled, the rivers became fewer and fewer, the hills undulated, and the terrain began to become flat, which also meant that they began to enter the northern border, crossing half of the northern border, and finally arrived at Yaoguang Shi at the junction of the northern border and the northeast.
Wanda Mountain.
"Have we entered the northern border?" Bai Qingqian opened the curtains and looked at the lush greenery outside, "It seems it's still hills, but the ups and downs are not as big?"
Hou Zi smiled and said, "This is the Shangyu Kingdom. It was called Yunling in ancient times. It is a small country at the junction of the southeast and the north. The terrain is mountainous in the south and grassland in the north. The Taoist tradition is Tianxin Pavilion, which is famous in the Splendid Continent."
Bai Qingqian said "Ah", "I see, the position of the true inheritance of the mainland constellations is determined by this Tianxin Pavilion, right? It's amazing that it can determine that those Dao Sects are not influenced."
Hou Zi spread knowledge to her, "That's not entirely true. In fact, the true biography of the constellations is jointly decided by Tianxin Pavilion and Tahao Gate. It's just that Tianxin Pavilion is the main one and Tahao Gate is the supplement. In order to show fairness, Tianxin Pavilion is unwilling to do so."
Qian Gang was arbitrary, so he found Taohaomen who would not cause trouble in the world, and had the orthodoxy of divination and astrology as supervision. Of course, you have to think that it is Tianxin Pavilion's ranking list.
Well, this Shangyu Tianxin Pavilion is not only magical. Although the country is not big, it occupies the top of several continents.
For example, in terms of the terrain of the continent, it is the center of the continent's terrain; it is also the country with the richest collection of books among all the Taoist traditions in the continent, the place with the most abundant power of wood, and the most famous country of flowers, with beautiful historical records of land flowers.
It is from here that Qishilan leads to the entire Splendid Continent...
It is also the only Taoist tradition among all the Taoist traditions in the mainland that although it has an infant ancestor, it has no true disciples and does not participate in the competition between Yuwai Lingqing."
Bai Qingqian opened her mouth wide, expressing surprise; but when Hou Zi looked over, she immediately covered her mouth and pinched him.
"It's all you. Why do I feel like my mouth has gotten bigger recently..." Hou Zi shrugged, "Illusion, illusion."
"This Tianxin Pavilion is quite unique. So, is it on the side of the Taoist sect?"
"No, just like Truman, they have maintained their own traditions; Trumen relies on its own strength, and I don't know what Shangyu relies on. Every orthodoxy in Splendid Continent has its own way of survival, and there is no way
To put it into perspective, once it becomes famous, no one will dare to touch it. The benefits are not big and the trouble is not small.”
"The benefits Hou Lang said are not big, right?"
"Shangyu has no cultivation resources and a small population, so the benefits are not great. But I heard that the ancestor of the Infant Transformation in Shangyu is very powerful and is at the top level in the entire continent. Thousands of years ago, other Taoist sects wanted to seize it. As a result,
I was approached by Master Shangyu
, the country was destroyed directly after a gambling fight..."
Bai Qingqian opened her mouth habitually, "Is this so impressive? Then why does Shangyu Daoism still stay here and not make progress?"
"Because they will always have only one infant ancestor, and there will never be a second one; when one is gone, the other one will be just as powerful. Of course, these are all legends. In the past few hundred years, the borders of the continent have gradually stabilized, and
No one will challenge them again, so they can’t do the same thing.”
"What a strange orthodoxy, what a strange country... But since there are so many of the best in the continent, can we stay here for a while longer?"
"Of course, you can stay as long as you want, I'll stay with you."
The two simply decided on the itinerary. Hou Zi knocked on the window and asked the coachman: "Uncle Zhang, where is the most famous place in Shangyu?"
The coachman laughed heartily, "You don't need to ask. Whether it's humanities, history, architectural environment, or flowers and green plants, Shangyu is not big. It's right for us to go to Suimo City, the flower capital of Shangyu. It's thousands of years old.
A historical city, famous in mainland China..."
The carriage winds and twists and turns all the way on the hilly and winding road. The plants on both sides of the road are colorful and colorful. These are the most common flowers.
"Look, that's the strange orchid!" the coachman shouted, pointing to a clump of orchid growing in the cracks of the rocks.
"Isn't this the national flower Lulan? How come it grows so casually on the roadside?" Bai Qingqian was very surprised.
"In Shangyu, that's what it looks like! It represents tenacity, bravery, unyielding, and an ordinary growth environment. It doesn't need careful cultivation. As long as there is a beam of sunshine and a stone, it can thrive, just like us ordinary mortals.
!" the coachman uncle said proudly.
Hou Zi moved his hand, and an isolated stone flew into his palm. The two of them watched carefully, and Bai Qingqian opened his mouth wide again.
"Look, Hou Lang, it really grows in the stone..."
There is no doubt that the strange stone orchid is the national flower of Shangyu; but it is hard to say whether it is a land flower, because many countries have their own national flowers, peonies, crabapples, jasmine, wintersweet, etc.
Thousands of years ago, the Splendid Continent still respected the strange stone orchid. However, as time passed, more exotic and colorful flowers were loved by people in different regions, and the strange stone orchid gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
It is also normal. Although it is very unique, from the nature of this delicate and beautiful flower, there are many more beautiful flower species than it.
People always look at the appearance more than the inside. This is a common human problem.
