On the land covered with a layer of green turf, the Taoist sat on the edge with his legs hanging in the air, looking far away. Sometimes the breeze blew in front of him, and the cold wind carried clouds and mist, bringing with it an ethereal atmosphere that was rare in the mountains.
Behind him, the wooden house is located and the fields are green.
A bronze mirror is hung high up, and as the two colors of silver and green are mixed and woven, countless light and shadows ripple and scatter, as colorful as stars, spreading out from the sky and falling in all directions.
Faintly transformed into a huge barrier, protecting.
Only by raising the angle of view and looking down can one clearly see the whole picture below the Taoist - it was a huge mountain of soil, floating out of thin air, smashing through the soft white cloud sea and flying all the way into the distance.
It is about a thousand feet above the ground, and under the sea of clouds, a small city slowly emerges from the distance, hidden among the mountains. With your eyesight, you can even see groups of ant-like pedestrians walking through it like a stream.
…
In Shiya County, Chen Yu arrived again, but this time he was just passing by to visit Taoist Jiang in Xiahaiyunguan. He patted the package in his hand, which was bulging with scriptures related to the five internal organs that he had given him when he went up the mountain last time.
One is to visit, the other is to return the book, and to inquire about some news. After all, if you want to travel around the world, you can't stay in the sky forever.
This trip down the mountain was not only related to spiritual practice, but he also talked about trying the delicacies from various places.
Although there is no need to eat to satisfy one's hunger after fasting, one's practice does not seek to satisfy human desires, and the satisfaction of one's appetite will not be an obstacle.
As for the word-of-mouth saying that those who eat grains will defile themselves, he doesn't know whether it is true or not. Maybe there is a kind of practice that pays attention to diet, but Chen Yu is obviously not one of them.
With the transformed internal organs, not to mention coarse grains in the stomach, even a mouthful of soil can squeeze out two ounces of nutrients, and the remaining impurities and sediments are very few, and they all pass through the pores with each breath.
It is excreted from the body without any residue.
I was thinking about food, but unfortunately my predecessor knew very little about it and was completely empty. I had no idea what the special delicacies of different places were, so it was best to learn a thing or two from Jiang Qinan first.
Stepping outside the Taoist temple, servant boys in blue and gray linen greeted and escorted them off at the entrance.
Haiyun Temple is different from Yunhe Temple. The incense here is much more prosperous. Along the way from the east of the city, there are lay people offering incense and silver.
The Taoist sects here are not random about incense. They have certain divisions and requirements. For ordinary people who worship these ordinary people, the temple will usually provide long incense candles that comply with the rules and match them with wooden plates. During the chanting and blessings of the Taoist priests,
Give him your [virtue] - that is, money.
The specifications here have nothing to do with the amount of gold and silver donated. At least in the territory of Xizhou, these regulations are unified, and the same is true for a piece of gold, and the same is true for a thousand pieces of gold.
Unless the person offering the tribute has an official status, or is performing a sacred ceremony, they will all be treated equally.
Of course, most of these practices can only be seen in monasteries that have been inherited. Small mountain monasteries such as Yunhe Guan, which have long deviated from orthodoxy, rarely follow them.
When Chen Yu offers incense himself, he doesn't pay too much attention to the regulations, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't care about it. After all, the Jingjing Jingjing incense he uses is a serious and extraordinary thing.
After entering the door, a mellow scent of incense hit his face, which made him feel quite refreshed. He did not hang around and told the servant boy his purpose of coming.
"Senior Brother Jiang?"
The little Taoist priest who didn't know which generation of disciples he was shook his head when he heard this. After knowing that the man with an unworldly temperament in front of him had interacted with his senior brother, his energetic face looked more serious, but he couldn't imitate it well.
, appearing to be childish and reserved.
"Senior brother, he has gone to another state with senior brother Yue. At this moment, he may have gone beyond the boundaries of Yunzhou, and he is thousands of miles away from here."
Are you leaving? When Chen Yu heard this, he saw the upright posture of the other party, and returned the courtesy with a smile on his face. After bowing his head and bowing, he handed the package to the little Taoist priest, "There are six volumes of books and scriptures in this, which were written by Taoist Friend Jiang."
A few months ago I borrowed a book from Pindao about the internal organs of the five internal organs, most of which are about pharmacological meridians. I asked my fellow Taoist to keep it for a while. If fellow Taoist Jiang returns, he will say that Yunhe Guan and Chen Yu have returned the scroll, thank you for your help."
"It's okay, it's okay, this... ahem, I understand what fellow Taoist said, and I will convey it to you when the time comes."
After handing over the baggage, Chen Yu went to the hall under the guidance of the little Taoist priest and offered incense sticks. The green smoke curled up, quiet and elegant, and the soft chanting and chanting in the Huitong hall gradually wiped away the dirt and delusions in people's hearts, and they couldn't help but feel a little lost.
.
Quickly returning to his thoughts, he said goodbye to the little Taoist priest, and turned to leave without staying here any longer.
Looking at the free and easy back, Xiao Dao, who was wearing a crooked square crown, touched his forehead and stood still for a while holding the bundle.
I am familiar with Senior Brother Jiang... he must be a very powerful Taoist priest.
Curious in his heart, he wrote down the three words Yunheguan. The little Taoist couldn't bear it anymore and ran all the way to ask the elders of his disciples.
The incident behind his death had nothing to do with Chen Yu. After returning the book, he couldn't find out about the famous and outstanding delicacies of several nearby counties. After thinking about it, he walked to the old place, intending to sit in a teahouse and wine shop.
It just so happens that in such a place where three religions and nine streams gather together, there will be no shortage of news.
…
Half a day later, a ray of green light rose from the ground in a corner invisible to others, and soared into the clouds.
Falling back into the floating field, after his feet became solid again, Chen Yu unlocked the phantom body technique, but saw that the spirit text was scattered into a radiance, and disappeared into the surrounding formations.
There are two more kits on his waist than when he entered the city.
He untied one of the bright yellow ones embroidered with peonies, lifted one corner open, shook it twice, and four or five small oil-skin paper seals floated out.
The core is bulging, but when opened, there is a pile of seeds.
"Ling Qizi, Aso, Dang Chen Qing, Rougui..."
These were purchased in the city previously, and every one of them was very fresh. With Chen Yu's special selection, the vitality under his eyes was clearly visible.
There are no dead babies or stillborn babies, everyone is full.
The four types of medicinal seeds on hand also have their own characteristics and very obvious effects. Compared with picking and planting in Qingtai Mountain, whenever there is free time in the medicinal field, I go to the mountains and forests to find some unplanted grass plants, transplant them and cultivate them.
Chen Yu is now more willing to try another method.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "There is only one-third of the floating field under the feet, which is inferior in size to the medicinal field behind the hospital. The space is limited and needs to be utilized wisely."
It is definitely not advisable to plant and cultivate the medicinal herbs randomly. He divided them into different paths according to their medicinal effects.
In this way, we use the direction of medicinal power instead of the previous method of planting one by one, and strive to cultivate spiritual plants that meet expectations.
There is just a problem here. Sometimes the alienation of plants after the inspiration is released will not develop completely according to the existing path, but will insert a new effect halfway.
He has also considered this point and will make some attempts at that time. If the mutation direction can be appropriately guided, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on the entire cultivation process.
"We have to make some trade-offs. Fortunately, due to space issues, the difficulties and encounters in planting have been anticipated."
Yuanlinggen, Lingshi Radish, Mangosteen, etc. have occupied a number of places in advance. There are actually very few places that can be used to cultivate new plants.
Chen Yu brought back four kinds of medicinal seeds. In fact, he wanted immature seedlings, so that the cultivation time would be greatly shortened, instead of starting from the spiritual seed stage.
However, after searching all over Shiya County, there were only a few plants. They were either not of the right type, or were dry and completely inactive - to the extent that even the spiritual fluid would not return.
I had no choice but to choose among the seeds.
Walking on the field, he was thinking about how to plan for this field floating in the sky. It did look a little messy now. On the other hand, what he heard in the pharmacy about bringing back medicinal herbs came to mind.
Lingqizi is a kind of flower, and the planting conditions are not difficult. When it grows, it will have four petals dotted with white spots, which is plain white and pleasant.
It is used to stop bleeding and remove blood clots, and has a good myogenic and healing effect on external injuries. This is somewhat similar to the Pingyu peach blossom he cultivated, but it took too long to cultivate the peach tree from seeds. The spiritual peach tree behind the yard
The fruit trees have yet to bear fruit.
But if ordinary peach blossoms want to mutate, firstly, they consume too much ingenuity, and secondly, it is always inconvenient. It takes more than half a year to get a batch of harvest, and they die when they grow. No matter how many peach trees there are, they cannot withstand such torture.
So even though Shengji Peach Blossom Powder was not bad, in view of the above reasons, he still first selected herbs that could heal wounds and cultivated them.
"There has been no success on Qingtai Mountain. I hope the floating field can turn around."
For the next half of the day, he stayed in the field to plan and set aside an area for several medicinal species. Beside it was the mangosteen, swaying green and reflecting long and slender shadows.
Because there is no deliberate push, the floating field does not float very fast, but at a moderate speed. The sunset is golden and rows of waves are dragged between the sea of clouds.
After walking for about a hundred miles, the sky suddenly changed, and gusts of strong winds blew past, making loud noises on the horizon. Soon the rain fell, and the formation flashed, unloading the pouring rain to both sides, and the inside was not even damp.
.
He took a look at the outside sky, which was dark and gloomy. He guessed that he had reached a thundercloud area. He thought for a moment and drove the floating field higher again.
The magic circle was strengthened, while mana and spirit were poured into the Ten Thousand Magic Mirrors. It was not until the behemoth, like an entire island in the sky, broke away from the violent wind and thunderclouds that it reached a higher place and finally stabilized.
"It seems that the weather has a big impact on the operation of the floating field. I thought I could resist one or two through the formation, but the strength seems to be a bit insufficient, and I slightly underestimated the natural power of the heaven and earth."
Chen Yu thought about adding two more formations, one to restrain the wind and one to bear the impact, which might be more secure.
Thoughts were floating in my mind, and I definitely couldn't come up with a solution for a while. Most of the talismans brought from the mountain had been buried in the fields and had long since become part of the formation.
"If you want to increase your protection, the remaining dozen or so talisman cards in your hand are far from enough, so you have to find a place to replenish them."
Fortunately, the talisman plaques are easy to make and can be made of wood or bamboo.
Just spend some mana to cultivate one or two.
Continuing forward, although he could not see Jiang Qin'an, he had a general understanding of the current situation at the foot of the mountain after spending nearly two hours in the teahouse and wine shop.
In the Shiya area, various local factions gathered together to carry out a campaign to "suppress bandits and eliminate demons". The three floors inside and outside were cleared, and the number of bandits was much reduced.
In addition, the advent of the blessed land caused a large number of foreign warriors to invade. After a period of chaos, many evildoers accidentally lost their lives because they collided with foreign strongmen.
Then there was the news that Chen Yu made earlier about Daojun Immortal killing harm to the people, and for a while, Shiya territory became unexpectedly peaceful.
This is not obvious to the hard-working men who wander around the tavern, but those traveling businessmen have a deep understanding of it, and they often mention it and express emotions when sitting in the teahouse.
He was not very interested in this. He mainly asked some knowledgeable people about whether there were any supernatural legends in various places, or specialty plants, or even some delicacies that could not be tasted in other places.
The latter is the point.
Remote places also have the character of remote places. After paying for a few bowls of tea and drinks, I collected a lot of information.
Most of them are limited to Xizhou, and few people know about them outside the state.
"The fighting is going on in other states. Now even those wild and evil people with stupid heads are running to the surrounding remote state capitals for fear of being unable to escape. The trade routes are cut off and they will stop for ten days this month..."
Some traders sighed, Shiya area is particularly rich in products, medicinal plants and wild products. In previous years, there would have been a lot of people and traffic at this time, and countless traders came and went. They were even exported to the Central Plains, Jiangnan and other places. Unlike now, they are the only ones left.
There are only three or two kittens, and they can only run errands in a few nearby counties.
If you go a little further, you may be attacked by bandits or violent people, or even more unlucky. The goods here have just entered the city, and within a short time, the county magistrate accompanied several large households to seize them.
The reason? Why is it needed? The skin has been completely ripped off!
To say that the merchants had not thought about moving around or resisting, it was not a big deal. It was a pity that the weather was collapsing and the beams could not hold up for a day. This kind of thing was okay at the beginning, but gradually it became too much to take care of.
Each family sweeps the snow in front of their own door, and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles.
"..."
Chen Yu sat on the wooden pier, looking at the wind and clouds on both sides, as well as the turbulent blackness below the floating field. The lightning and thunder were like silver snakes, and they were very powerful.
He thought about it for a while, and it seemed that those people's sorrows and complaints were still floating in front of his eyes. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the next county to visit Master Liu.
The situation has been turbulent recently, and there has not been much correspondence. Only a few months ago, I heard that the old man's health and bones were getting worse. When exposed to cold rain and strong winds, he would feel sore and numb all over his body, and his shoulders and knees were even more weak and limp.
I went to take a look during this trip. In the past, he was short of money and did not cultivate many usable spiritual plant medicines, but it was different now. When Chen Yu left the Taoist temple, he specially brought a few pairs of prepared medicinal powders.
The combination method may not be as sophisticated as that of an old doctor, but the advantage is that the medicinal power has been warmed and refined by magic power. After several rounds, the medicinal power is so essence that even the weakest of physiques can effectively absorb it, and the effect is gentle and non-harmful.
body.
"Take good care of your body and spend your old age peacefully."
Chen Yu couldn't do much. He just hoped that this uncle would not suffer from illness like other warriors in their later years and could enjoy a few years of family happiness in peace and quiet at his master's house.
