Chapter 314: The Great Sage’s Teachings of the Spiritual Appearance True King
"In the land of Lingnan, there are people who are not confused. They can understand the words of many places and use magic to turn the little people into their ears. They can steal other people's words and the recipients can also imitate the words of other countries..."
Chen Yuan used this technique to make Hu Shang understand the Eastern language. He was very excited. When he walked into Wadi Ci, he still talked non-stop about the city, the streets in the city, and who the king in the palace was.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
"The city here was built for us by craftsmen further west. Travelers from the East, do you think these buildings are different from those in the East? Can you tell me about them?"
The Hu merchant is also called Duma. He has several shops here and can be considered a wealthy man. However, the merchant's status is low. When talking to Chen Yuan and others, his attitude is extremely humble.
"Old Sun, just talk to him."
Chen Yuan was really tired of talking. From the west foot of Congling to the city, Duma didn't stop talking. While the fat Taoist took over the conversation, he could finally take a good look at this city similar to Dawan.
The houses in the streets are all made of rocks, with flat rooftops. They look a bit like the style of later Greece. The main body of the palace in the distance is also carved out of rocks and is built against the mountain. It is located on a high ground and can Overlooking the entire city.
"This way, these four travelers from the East, my home is here."
Duma liked to talk to the fat Taoist. Maybe both of them were obese people. Secondly, Sun Zhengde was also talkative. He made Hu Shang happy with just a few words. He invited Chen Yuan and others to his home and watched him from time to time. He looked around at the curious people in the city and proudly introduced him as a traveler from the East and a guest in his home.
It has attracted envious looks from many people. After all, many people here only know from the mouths of business travelers that the far east country can only be reached by crossing the plateau and desert. It may not be possible to finish the walk.
In such an era, the size of the country proves the strength of the army and the strength of the country.
Travelers who can see powerful countries are naturally curious and awed.
This is why Duma didn't hesitate to catch up with them when he heard the coachman said that the Orientals had saved them. Being able to make friends with the Orientals would be something worth bragging about in the business circle in the future. thing.
Of course, Chen Yuan and others did not know the little Jiujiu in this fat Hu man's heart. At this time, he entered the other party's house with the warm invitation of the other party. The rocky courtyard gate was naturally different from the oriental style, just like a city. The gate tower has no carvings and decorations. After asking, I found out that because the merchants were of low status, they were not allowed to carve murals on the gate.
"Four distinguished guests, please take a seat."
As soon as they entered the house, when the wife and daughter came over, they were scolded by Duma. He turned around and warmly invited Chen Yuan and the four of them into the house. In a similar living room, there were no seats, just a few round red carpets as cushions. , then put a small coffee table and that’s it.
"By the way, what are you doing in the mountains?"
After entering the room and taking a seat, Chen Yuan exchanged a few words and took a sip of the local tea. It was so bitter that he frowned, so he asked casually. The Duma over there hesitated, "I...I made a bet, If we lose the bet, we have to go to the mountains to stay for one night, and we can only bring one driver with us... Unexpectedly, there was a blizzard first, and we lost our way, and met the legendary Ichimei, who also saw us...
Legend has it that the wolves in the mountains obey their orders, and when we escaped, there were many wolves chasing behind us."
"Didn't you take other people's things?"
Chen Yuan was no longer a young boy who just came out of the world. He didn't know what he was like at first sight, but from the perspective of the other party, who would have nothing to do with chasing two humans in the snow and ice?
Unless the other party takes something, he will become angry.
Of course, Wadi Ci will not stay long. He will set off from here early tomorrow morning and go farther west. As for the businessman Duma, he has already sent him back anyway, so there is no need to make extra trouble and stay here to delay the time.
"No...didn't take it."
Duma shook his round head, said a few words in succession, turned his face away from Chen Yuan's sight, hurriedly asked the servants to prepare meals, and then cleaned a few guest rooms and came out. Soon, several barefoot maids carried
The food came one by one, including rich and viscous soup, skewered eggs, and roasted golden whole chicken. Chen Yuan took a bite and frowned slightly. The taste was a bit weird.
The food from a foreign land is not only unpalatable, but also a little uncomfortable. Even the crazy old man couldn't stand it after a few bites.
"Spices are just for embellishment. If you use too much, the original flavor of the food will be squeezed out." As a helper at the Tianshi Mansion's back chef, Fat Taoist is very proficient in eating a dish. You can tell just by smelling it.
Whether the food is good or not, "...what's the difference between this and eating spices? What we cook is to make the food more delicious. When you cook like this, you are putting the cart before the horse."
Duma nodded repeatedly and quickly asked someone to write it down.
He originally prepared these foods, but he spent a lot of money and used almost all the spices stored at home. Unexpectedly, he was scolded by the distinguished guests from the East.
But what the other party said was easy to understand and impossible to refute.
After dinner, Chen Yuan took his master to live in one room, and the other two rooms were given to monk Zhenhai and Fat Taoist.
The bed was also made of rammed earth, covered with a layer of blankets. After playing for a day, the crazy old man was probably tired, so he fell on it and kicked it with his feet, took off his shoes, rolled on the bed, and fell asleep.
Chen Yuan covered the master with the blanket, held up the oil lamp and sat down on the blanket-covered ground, sitting cross-legged by the light. He had entered the Nascent Soul, and was gradually becoming familiar with the first magical power.
The soul is out of body!
I have had several out-of-body experiences before, which are very beneficial to the practice of out-of-body experiences. However, I was still worried, so I sent a message to the bullock cart outside and called out: "Great Sage!"
After a moment, the window sash opened with a creak, and a fist-sized piece of wood fell in. He somersaulted in front of Chen Yuan, glanced at him, and then jumped onto a nearby square table. His body shape suddenly changed, turning into a four-foot-long figure.
When I came to Gao, I grabbed a fruit, took a bite, and smacked my lips.
"Why are you calling me in the middle of the night? Could it be that you are trying to imitate me and study late at night?"
"It's true that I asked for advice late at night."
The reason why Chen Yuan calls him Sun Dasheng instead of Wen Taishi is because Monkey has an upright temperament. As long as he agrees to something, he thinks he can do it.
"Great Sage, I have entered Yuanying for the first time, and I am not familiar with the method of the soul leaving the body. I hope the Great Sage can give me some advice."
"Haha, easy to talk about."
Sure enough, when Sun Wukong heard that he was asking for advice, he didn't care much. He got down from the table and squatted down beside Chen Yuan happily. He put his furry fingers between his lips and blew a breath on Chen Yuan's face.
"Relax, can you smell the wind? Close your eyes, clear away distracting thoughts, and feel where the wind is blowing."
Following the instructions of the Great Sage, Chen Yuan calmed down her thoughts and relaxed her attention. She felt the breeze blowing on her face, blocking her hearing and closing her sense of smell. The surroundings seemed to become dead silent for a moment.
The feeling that my soul once felt outside my body was finally felt.
"Okay." Sun Wukong squatted aside and could see that Chen Yuan had touched the threshold. He clapped his hands and was quite happy. It felt like he was a master teaching his disciples. "After you have practiced it, I, Sun, might as well teach you a magical power, the indestructibility of the King Kong."
