With the population not increasing much, vigorous large-scale infrastructure construction is also advancing rapidly. However, in just one year, Yingchuan County has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Today's streets have turned into smooth asphalt roads.

There are far fewer carriages coming and going on the streets. Instead, there is something called a rickshaw. As long as you pay a little money, the driver can take you where you want to go.

This new type of transportation does not need to be dragged by oxen and horses. It is stable as long as it is pulled by a driver. It is much more comfortable than riding a horse or riding a sedan.

The most important thing is that these rickshaws can be found all over the streets, and they have even formed a unified scale and group. It is very convenient to just wave and come over.

There are also many places to play. Under Ye Zhang's arrangement, many entertainment facilities were also built, such as carousels, slides, and roller coasters. They all appeared one by one.

Although the productivity level in this era is low, with the existence of the magic machine, everything is not a problem, and with the addition of the Mo family, the efficiency has been greatly improved.

And because it has undertaken a large number of construction sieges, Momen's income has also been rising steadily, and the originally poor sect has suddenly become a hot commodity.

Standing on the street, looking at these things that seemed to have traveled from later generations, Ye Zhang couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, and a trace of memories came to his heart.

The differences brought about by this huge change are not only reflected in superficial levels such as population, roads and building layout, but also changes in the economic structure.

For example, there is now a large-scale logistics trading place in Yangzhai City, where merchants from all over the place can conduct large-scale purchase, sale and exchange of materials, each getting what they need.

You don't have to run around to get what you want, which saves a lot of energy and time.

In addition, there is also a high-end auction house in the center of the city, which is responsible for auctioning high-value items.

Anyone who has any treasures can bring it over, and there will be specialized personnel to appraise it. Only items worth more than three hundred gold will be put on the auction stage.

If the bidding is successful, the owner needs to pay 10% of the fee.

Although the cost seems high, it is still worth it if you can sell your things at the highest price at the auction...

In the courtyard, Ye Zhang looked at Xiaomeng who was meditating with his eyes closed, and said, "Isn't it boring to stay here all day? It's okay to go out for a walk often."

Hearing this, Xiaomeng slowly opened her eyes and said, "The mortal world has nothing to do with us cultivators, so why bother lingering there. When your cultivation has reached such a level, can't you let go of these worldly things?"

Ye Zhang smiled slightly and said, "If you haven't picked it up, there's no point in putting it down. Just because I picked it up, it doesn't necessarily mean I haven't put it down."

Hearing this, Xiao Meng glanced at him lightly, hummed lightly and said nothing more.

At this time, Ye Zhang continued: "Since the separation of heaven and man, Taoism has made an appointment between heaven and man every five years. Why do you think this is?"

Xiao Meng replied expressionlessly: "It's natural to verify each other, so that the party who took the wrong path will know how to return."

"There is no absolute good or evil in this world, it's just people's wishful thinking. Just like when Ying Zheng unified the six kingdoms, some people think that he caused endless murders, while others think that this is immeasurable merit.

There is no right or wrong in many things, the rotation of yin and yang is all natural."

At this point, his tone paused slightly, and then continued: "A hundred years ago, Taoism was divided into two sects, Heaven and Man, due to disputes over principles. Since then, they have never stopped arguing, and everyone believes that they are the orthodox.

In order to avoid a fight between the two sects, a covenant between heaven and man was made. The heads of the two sects competed every five years. Whichever side wins will have more say and can also control the name.

Jian Xue Ji.

In my opinion, this approach is obviously not really about distinguishing right from wrong.

After all, wherever there are people, there are conflicts, and the best way is to turn conflicts into competition, which not only avoids internal friction but also urges both groups to practice harder."

After the words fell, Xiaomeng frowned slightly, and then retorted: "If this is really the case, why did the covenant between heaven and man invite officials from hundreds of families? Isn't this just to distinguish what is right and what is wrong under the witness of everyone?

"

Hearing this, Ye Zhang chuckled and said: "In my opinion, the reason why I want to show off is to show off my muscles and take advantage of the promise between heaven and man to show off my strength to others.

Let all sects know that even if Taoism is divided into two, it is still not easy to mess with. Therefore, the covenant between heaven and man is essentially to strengthen the connection between the two sects, rather than create opposition.

Just imagine, if there was no such competition, wouldn't the relationship between the two sects really be severed that day? Such a situation is probably not what the Taoist founder wants to see, right?"

Hearing these words, Xiaomeng couldn't hold back her temper anymore. She stood up directly, took out the famous Qiuli sword in her hand, and said, "You will know who is right and wrong after a battle."

"You should know that you are not my opponent."

Ye Zang chuckled lightly.

"Where does all this nonsense come from? Let's take action!"

Xiao Meng held a long sword and pointed it at the former.

Ye Chang shook his head helplessly. Although this girl looked calm and composed, she was actually quite stubborn and very competitive.

I'm afraid that the other party has long wanted to fight with me, but they have been holding back.

However, he did not refuse this request. He only raised one right hand after holding it with one hand, and said: "As long as you can touch the corner of my clothes, you win."

Xiaomeng snorted coldly, and then rushed forward with a flash of body. In an instant, the sharp sword light pierced the former's chest.

Ye Zhang's face remained calm, and he swung Qiu Li away with just a flick of his finger. Then, he pointed his sword in the air and shot out a ray of powerful energy, knocking the opponent back a few steps.

Feeling the shock coming from the weapon, Xiaomeng's face turned slightly away. She also knew that she was no match for this guy, but she didn't expect that the gap was so big.

Then he frowned, and the pure Qi was continuously poured into the sword, and a strange Taoist rhyme rippled out as the sword Qi circulated.

The Taoist skill "Eclipse of Heaven and Earth" was launched instantly, turning everything around into black and white, and Ye Zhang also felt a rising energy wrapping around him, constantly suppressing his own strength.

However, the impact of this transformation was nothing to him. He saw his sword finger passing through the void, and a green talisman bloomed.

"break!"
