"Master Lin, this Gongming City Yijue is indeed powerful. I remember that there are also operas among the mortals in our Qianluo Kingdom, but they are completely different."
"Haha, Fellow Daoist He, these are really different from each other. Please listen to me explain in detail..."
A play lasted three hours, and it was already dark when it came out. He Mu was shocked by the play. After coming out, he asked repeatedly, "This is different from what he knew."
Lin Xiao also patiently explained that after more than two hundred years of development, Gongmingcheng opera has gone through several reforms. Lin Xiao actually doesn't know the specifics of the reforms. He only knows a general idea, but it can be used to fool He Mu.
"I see, I didn't expect that a small opera would have so many stories in it. However, Headmaster Lin said that those people didn't actually use illusions just now. I always find it unbelievable. I, the spiritual ancestor, was almost sucked just now. Got in"
"Friend He Dao, why are you lying to me? At the beginning, the actors in these operas also focused on using illusions to make people immersive. This was the idea of the prop school. It even surpassed the acting school for a time. However, something happened later because of their illusions. It was so powerful that some viewers didn't get out of the shadow of the illusion even after returning home, and even caused a tragedy.
So later we banned their excessive use of illusions, which allowed the acting school to gain the upper hand again. The acting school emphasized using their own acting skills, that is, movements, expressions, eyes, timbres, and other techniques to impress the audience. Props were just Assistant, the opera that He Daoyou watched today is not the top one. There is an actor in the top opera troupe. He has become a master of opera and is known as a master. He can act like anything. His famous work is playing a mortal bully who bullies men. The domineering girl was so evil that dozens of people at the scene were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to go out and kill him. If my Tiansheng Sect disciples hadn't reacted quickly at that time, everyone would have died."
“It’s simply unheard of for such a thing to happen.”
"I can't tell you what happened in this three days and three nights. Let me take fellow Taoist He to experience another one of the three unique features of Gongming City."
Lin Xiao quickly brought He Mu to the restaurant, greeted him with good wine and food, and then brought up Qianling Wine, one of the three specialties of Gongming City.
"Master Lin, this Qianling Wine is also sold in Qianluo Kingdom. It is sold by Guizong Company. There are many people who like it, but He doesn't think so."
"Haha, Fellow Daoist He, those Qianling wines sold are the ones with the largest production volume and the lowest grade. They are different from what we drink today. You will know after you try it."
"good"
When He Mu drank it in one gulp, he felt a breath of air rolling from his stomach, but it went straight to his forehead and disappeared in his forehead.
"Shu Shuang, what kind of wine is this? Isn't it Qianling Wine?"
"That's right, but the craftsmanship of this kind of wine is complicated and the output is rare. It is currently unable to meet the needs of Gongming City, so it is rarely circulated."
Lin Xiao replied, this is actually a type of cocktail. Those guys who studied Qianling Liquor back then were bold enough to imitate Jiu Xianmen's Jiarenxiao and Shenxianzui, but Lin Xiao stopped them and asked them to destroy the imitation. Thinking about how courageous those people were, they were unwilling to part with those high-end spiritual wines that cost a lot of money to imitate. They even poured them into Qianling Wine in an attempt to get away with it and then enjoy it themselves.
Unexpectedly, those people ignited their cocktail skills and discovered that this kind of mixed spirit wine tasted pretty good. Then they got out of hand. Over the past few decades, they have developed several cocktails with extremely special and unique tastes. It is said that it also has many functions and has become a high-end brand among Qianling wine.
However, the output of this kind of blended wine is really not high, and it has nothing to do with Qianling Liquor, so it has not spread yet, and most of them are sold out in Gongming City.
"The second best thing in Gongming City is indeed well-deserved. Master Lin, the third best thing, can you let He have a taste?"
"Haha, of course. Let's come back after eating. This third level is actually white mist tea, but it's not the kind sent to Qianluo Kingdom for sale. It's a higher level, never lower than the third level."
Lin Xiao laughed and said, after continuous cultivation of Baiwu Tea, especially the continuous improvement of the spiritual veins of Baiwu Mountain, its grade is getting higher and higher. Fourth-level Baiwu Tea has been cultivated, but the quantity is extremely rare. , currently there are less than ten acres for it, and it is even rarer to spread it on the market. Most of them are third-level white mist tea.
The third-level spiritual tea is already good and extremely expensive. Only a few people in Gongming City can afford it, so it is said to be the third-level tea.
After eating and drinking, Lin Xiao let him have the fourth-level white mist tea. After chatting for a while, Lin Xiao took him to the night market in Gongming City. Under Lin Xiao's special guidance, Gongming City had opened up a long time ago. There is no curfew, unless it is some special period, such as the previous beast tide, when Gongming City's guard strength was insufficient.
The night market has also greatly enriched the spiritual life of the monks. Various snacks, sideshows, and storytellers and ditties evolved from operas are all available here.
The residents of the main body of Gongming City are casual cultivators in the world of immortality, and there are really not many casual cultivators who practice hard day and night. Most of them will never be able to cross the barrier of Zifu in their lifetime. Their life span is similar to that of ordinary people, so their lives are also similar to ordinary people. Almost, there is no big difference.
After taking He Mu and his party to see the night market, Lin Xiaocai took them to the Tiansheng Sect's mountain gate the next day and showed them the reserve warehouse system and the busy figures of thousands of monks cultivating immortality and various arts at the mountain gate.
"Headmaster Lin, this is where all the alchemists, weapon refiners, talisman makers and formation masters from your Martial Kingdom have gathered together, right?"
"Almost, about 80%, and the rest has its place."
"How can the other sects agree?"
"Why don't you agree? It's not just our Tiansheng Sect that handles these monster materials, but the harvests of the entire Wu Kingdom are here, refined into elixirs and magic weapons, and then divide your own share according to the proportion. They have made a profit, otherwise the profits would be pitifully low if they were just selling materials."
"In this case, it seems that Tiansheng Sect has suffered a loss."
"It is indeed a loss, but it doesn't matter. The purpose of our Tiansheng Sect has always been to make the cake bigger, not to grab a share of the cake."
"cake?"
"A kind of folk food is a metaphor. For example, the interests of the Wu Kingdom are so great. It is likened to a cake. If our Tiansheng Sect eats one more bite, the other sects will have to eat one less. In such a long time, they will definitely have bad intentions. Resentment, and separation from our Tiansheng Sect. If a strong enemy attacks, they will probably have to applaud.
But we ourselves suffer some losses and work hard to expand the benefits and make the cake bigger. When the cake becomes bigger, our Tiansheng Sect is actually not at a loss. Just like this beast tide, each sect fought bravely to fight the enemy, even if the beast tide threatens
The same goes for other sects. If not, how could our country resist the tide of beasts?"
"It turns out that this is the secret of the unity of the Wu Kingdom. It's a pity that most of the sect leaders can't see this level."
"Actually, this is what our ancestors can do. Our Tiansheng Sect is just inheriting the traditions of our ancestors. When our Tiansheng Sect was still weak, the kingly seniors of the Danyang Sect never bullied us. They treated everyone equally and received benefits according to their strength. I think
If you want to get more benefits, you have to work hard on your own, and this tradition remains.”
"I see, this senior king is definitely someone worthy of admiration."
"Yeah, it's a pity that Senior Wang Dao didn't break through the aura and didn't see the grand situation of Wu Kingdom today."
"That's a pity"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Is Fellow Daoist He interested in going to other sects to investigate?"
"Of course, according to Master Lin's wishes, the prosperity of the Wu Kingdom does not lie with the Tiansheng Sect, but with the prosperity of the Wu Kingdom as a whole. Naturally, the other sects cannot be missed."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now. Starting tomorrow, I will take fellow Taoist He on a tour of Wu Kingdom."
Lin Xiao nodded, and then Lin Xiao took him to Baiwu Mountain for inspection. Except for some secret places, he basically visited them all. Looking at the boxes of Qianling Wine and Baiwu Tea, He Mu was envious.
No wonder, this is all money, and the value of these things is much higher than low-level spiritual rice and elixirs.
Then he went to Tianyang Mountain and saw the True Spirit Grass all over the mountain. He Mu was dumbfounded. Although these True Spirit Grass were still young, He Mu also knew that once the True Spirit Grass began to mature, the strength of the Wu Kingdom would be
It will skyrocket to a terrifying level.
Lin Xiao took the opportunity to chat with He Mu about some blueprints for in-depth cooperation among the three countries. Internal communication among the three countries was one thing, and the other was the carving up of the interests of the wilderness.
In Lin Xiao's eyes, the purple-eyed demon king is no longer a threat. Lin Xiao and Li Muxue only need to break through the void to occupy the purple-eyed demon king's territory. How to swallow this piece of fat is very important.
of.
Lin Xiao wanted to invite Qianluo Kingdom and Xilao Kingdom to eat together. This news shocked He Mu even more. He really didn't expect that Wu Kingdom would be seriously injured by the purple-eyed demon king.
I came up with the idea of carving up the Purple-Eyed Demon King. What exactly did I think of this?
However, He Mu did not refuse openly, but continued to inspect the Wu Kingdom. In the next half month, He Mu traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the Wu Kingdom, visiting various sects such as the Danyang Sect, Tianhai Sect, and Hongshan Sect.
After walking around for a while, He Mucai set off to leave.
"Ancestor, you don't want to leave this Martial Kingdom?"
When he reached the territory of Cang Kingdom, He Mu turned back to look at Wu Kingdom, and one of his disciples asked.
"It's reluctance to leave. You have been walking with me for more than half a month. What is your impression of Wu Kingdom?"
"Back to my ancestors, I think the sect monks in the Wu Kingdom have a very optimistic attitude. They seem to be extremely confident and motivated in doing things. The older ones retreat and the younger ones advance, unlike..."
"It's not like anything, just say whatever you want, no one will blame you"
"It's not like our Shanmen, where the authority has been occupied by some old people, and many measures cannot be implemented. They are not seeking merit but seeking no faults. They are not willing to do practical work at all. They also swear that if they do more, they will make more mistakes, and if they do less, they will make more mistakes.
The less mistakes you make, the better if you don’t..."
The disciple's voice became softer and quieter as he spoke. Seeing that He Mu's face was not kind, he didn't dare to speak anymore. But He Mu didn't know that what this disciple said was true.
Any sect with a long history must have complicated internal relationships, with many interests involved, and it will appear to have an air of twilight. Therefore, this new atmosphere of the Wu Kingdom makes He Mu particularly envious. (To be continued)
