(You may have to spend the New Year in the hospital this year, so everyone should also remember to pay attention and try to eat out as little as possible. If you often eat out or eat takeout, remember to get vaccinated...)
Logically speaking, in cities and villages, these places where humans live together, the popularity is too strong, the turbidity is too heavy, and the spiritual energy is weak.
On the contrary, spiritual energy is sufficient only when there is no one in the wild.
This is also the reason why since ancient times, practitioners have always sought out remote and uninhabited places, or even escaped into the mountains and forests!
Among the previous copies of time and space, Tao Xiaowu was able to clearly understand this.
However, this time and space copy feels completely different!
"Maybe I should look for another county seat. Maybe there is something weird about the county seat I went to yesterday..."
Tao Xiaowu thought this way and made up his mind to go to another county to see if his feeling was correct!
Although the spiritual energy of this copy of the time and space is thin, considering Tao Xiaowu's current cultivation level, in most cases, physical strength alone is enough to solve the problem without using magic power.
At this time, Tao Xiaowu's running speed had exceeded that of the horse.
The endurance is far superior, even if I run like this for three days and three nights, there is no problem.
Gradually we are approaching a city!
At the gate of the city, there were two soldiers dressed in rags, lazily basking in the sun, and ordinary people went in and out without paying attention.
Only when they see people like merchants entering the city, they will go up to collect taxes.
When they saw someone like Tao Xiaowu wearing Taoist robes, they all stopped him with a playful smile.
However, when he saw Tao Xiaowu's gorgeous Taoist robe, which seemed to be made of silk, he thought it was a fat sheep and naturally wanted to beat the autumn wind.
As for awe... I'm sorry, monks and Taoists in this era really can't scare people unless they have a good reputation, money and power.
"Taoist priest, you have to pay tax when entering the city!"
A city gate soldier smiles playfully.
Tao Xiaowu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, how much do you pay?"
The city gate soldier didn't expect Tao Xiaowu to be so happy, but he didn't think much about it and said with a smile: "Ten copper coins is not much!"
Tao Xiaowu seemed to feel it in his arms, took out a silver ingot, threw it over, and said: "I'll reward you for the many!"
The eyes of the two city gate soldiers were stunned. They didn't expect Tao Xiaowu to be so generous. They both smiled and said, "Thank you for the reward!"
But he didn't dare to stop him anymore and let Tao Xiaowu pass.
For such a small person, it's good to be able to gain some favors and take advantage of him.
No matter how much thought and courage you have, you still don’t have it!
Tao Xiaowu ignored him, and with a slight smile on his lips, he waved his sleeves and walked into the city.
But not long after entering the city, the two city gate soldiers happily took out the silver ingots and discussed how to divide them.
Who knew if I looked at it at this time, I would find a silver ingot somewhere? It was clearly just a stone.
"I clearly saw it clearly just now..."
The two soldiers looked at each other in mid-sentence: "Didn't we just see a ghost?"
"Where can there be ghosts in broad daylight? I think that person is not simple...I'm afraid we just kicked the iron plate..."
As they spoke, the two men hurriedly threw away the stone, both looking frightened and regretful.
Tao Xiaowu walked into the city calmly, seemingly walking leisurely, but he could clearly feel that the aura in the city was indeed better than outside the city.
It was not an illusion, nor was it just that the county was special.
"It seems that this is the case in this world!"
As for why there is aura in the city, but not in the wild.
Tao Xiaowu also vaguely saw some clues!
"This is not natural, but human power! Well, no, or it can be said to be divine power!"
At this time, he could already confirm that this should be related to the Chenghuang Temple in the city.
Just when Tao Xiaowu thought of this, two people were already chasing him: "Brother Taoist, please invite me. Lin Qiuran and Qi Luoyu are Taoists from Huo Ju.
I came here today to visit a friend. I just saw Taoist brother teaching those two guards at the city gate. I know that Taoist brother is extraordinary and I want to make friends with him!"
Tao Xiaowu had noticed these two people at the city gate just now, and even saw them clearly when they were chasing them from behind.
At this moment, seeing the eager and expectant expressions on their faces, and seeing the meager amount of magic power on their bodies, I vaguely guessed their purpose.
However, Tao Xiaowu was not disgusted. He was about to find someone to inquire about the matter, when he smiled and said: "Tao Xiaowu, a poor Taoist, is just wandering here.
Since these two fellow Taoists are interested, let’s find a place to chat!”
Lin Qiuran and Qi Luoyu were both happy after hearing this, and said: "The host of the Impermanence Temple in the city is a good friend of mine, and we are here to visit him. Why don't we go to the Impermanence Temple and have a chat?"
When Tao Xiaowu heard the word "impermanence view", his face looked slightly strange, but he still said: "Okay!"
The two happily took Tao Xiaowu to a Taoist temple in the south corner of the city.
Although this Taoist temple is not very large, it is located against the city wall and the surrounding area is quite quiet with not many people.
The three words "View of Impermanence" are written on the plaque above!
"Interesting, how come I am so connected to the concept of impermanence!"
Tao Xiaowu complained in his heart, but he quickly followed Lin Qiuran and Qi Luoyu into the view.
The aura in the city is much stronger than in the wilderness, but this place where the concept of impermanence is located is richer than other places in the city!
Just one look at it tells people that this place is extraordinary and may have true cultivation!
As expected, Lin Qiuran and Qi Luoyu were very familiar with the host of Wu Chang Guan. After the announcement, the host of Wu Chang Guan came to greet them personally.
Tao Xiaowu looked at it and found that Xu Zijiang, the host of Wu Chang Guan, also had a meager amount of magic power. Although it was a little stronger than Lin Qiuran, it was not much stronger.
According to Tao Xiaowu's estimation, the strength of his soul will not exceed that of a ghost soldier.
And those two, Lin Qiuran, are probably not as good as even the Ghost Soldiers Captain!
It seems that these people are all casual cultivators, not disciples of the Immortal Sect.
But are the casual cultivators of this era so weak?
"Two worthy brothers are here, this is..." Xu Zijiang asked.
"This is Taoist Brother Tao Xiaowu!" Qi Luoyu opened his mouth and told the scene he just saw at the city gate.
"It turns out they are fellow Taoists," Xu Zijiang smiled: "Those two disciples are scoundrels, but they should be taught a lesson, and my fellow Taoist taught them a good lesson.
Please come, please sit inside!"
Then Tao Xiaowu and the others were invited into the living room and sat down.
When asked about Tao Xiaowu's origin, Tao Xiaowu made it up casually, and instead asked the three people about various situations in this world.
The three people discussed Taoist practice with Tao Xiaowu. Tao Xiaowu was far ahead of the three in terms of cultivation and knowledge. Tao Xiaowu was able to answer many puzzling questions casually.
The three of them were immediately in awe, knowing that Tao Xiaowu was anything but ordinary and was definitely a true master.
The three of them were very happy. General Xu Zi said: "Brother Dao is indeed an expert!"
Tao Xiaowu smiled slightly and said: "What an expert, I just read a few more books..."
By the way, I seem to have heard people talk about the concept of impermanence before. It seems that the founder of your sect is Zhou Jingzhi?"
