Chapter 20 Yujing
Qi Niang suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Sun Yongfeng is half a fellow person with me. She likes some yellow and white things and is very vulgar. Tianyuan, you know."
Qi Xuansu immediately understood the subtle voice of Qi Niang and hesitated: "This...is not great, it's a way to encourage unhealthy trends."
To Qi Xuansu's surprise, Qi Niang did not refute, but nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Taoist sect repeatedly wants to eliminate such a thing."
Qi Xuansu also nodded and said, "That's right."
Qi Niang said indifferently: "Anyway, it's not that I want to enter Tiangang Hall, and I don't want to be motivated. You can just grasp the specific ones. If there is nothing else, I will end up talking about it. I still have a few accounts that I haven't settled clearly."
"No price, no price." Qi Xuansu hurriedly said, "Qi Niang, I just said it casually."
Qi Niang laughed: "It's okay, I'll just say it casually."
Qi Xuansu has no way to deal with Qi Niang.
Qi Niang put on the airs of being the eldest sister like a mother and said earnestly: "Tianyuan, there is a saying: 'Straight as a string, the dead are as a road, the crook is like a hook, and the rebellion is a marquis." We are all small people, and we cannot change this world, nor can we resist this world, and we can only struggle in it. It is better to be smooth than rebellion. There is another saying: 'If you are prosperous, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can keep it alone.' What you need to consider now is not to help the world, but to keep it alone, do you understand?"
"Yes." Qi Xuansu said honestly, "I've recorded it."
Qi Niang smiled again on her face: "It's great. When I go there, I bring two hundred Taiping money, it's best to have an official ticket. The current bank is too eye-catching and the impact is not good."
Qi Xuansu asked, "Qianniang, did I pay the 200 peace money by myself? Or will it be reimbursed?"
Qi Niang looked straight at Qi Xuansu, as if she didn't hear it.
Qi Xuansu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He raised his voice a little, and repeated the words just now.
Qi Niang said with a puzzled look on her face, "Hey? Hey? Tianyuan, can you hear me talking? Why is there no sound? Is it isolated by the formation? Or is there a problem with the quality of the mother and child talisman? I have said a long time ago that there is no good product, so just buy a few good quality pieces, anyway, it costs the money from the public..."
Qi Xuansu watched the talisman in his hand slowly burned to ashes, and Qi Niang's phantom disappeared with the fire, so he could only sigh helplessly.
The wind is colder and the snow is colder because the heart is colder.
Qi Xuansu could only take out two official tickets with a denomination of one hundred flat money from the interlayer on his chest and put them in his sleeve bag. Then, he walked towards Yujing in the distance in the wind and snow.
In this way, the three big tickets that Qi Xuansu had just received were gone, and he had only one hundred cash left, one medium ticket, four small tickets, ten loose tickets, and some scattered silver coins.
In fact, Qi Xuansu has some savings, but he has been walking outside all year round and doing a life of licking blood from the knife. Maybe one day he will follow Zhuge Yongming and others, and the money on him will be cheaper. So he exchanged his savings for worry-free money, which is relatively valuable, and it is not like the official ticket has a deadline. It all exists with Qi Niang. If one day he encounters an accident, he will ask Qi Niang to use this money to buy a decent coffin for him, and the extra money will be regarded as a support for Qi Niang's old age.
Although Qi Niang is greedy for money, she still has ethics and can trust her.
Qi Xuansu walked along a flat road paved with white marble toward a majestic city that was not something that could be built by manpower.
Although it is far apart and blocked by wind and snow, you can still vaguely see the outline of the city, and there are also auspicious clouds and purple air, making the city appear and disappear from time to time.
Because the city is built against the mountain, the higher the terrain the inner city, the higher the terrain, and there is no situation where it is blocked by the city wall.
When we get closer, we can see thousands of palaces, lined up and stacked.
There is a tower that reaches the sky deep in the city, which leads directly to the sky. It is called the "Thirty-Three Heavens" by the Taoist Sect. The place where the clouds and fog are covered is the legendary ascension platform. The previous master sect ascends here.
Such a majestic city is not easy to build even if it is placed on an open plain, let alone the top of Kunlun, the ancestor of all mountains. According to the Taoist Sect, this city was indeed not built by manpower, but was left by the Taishang Taoist Sect. After Xuansheng led the Taoist Sect to defeat the Confucian Sect and become the orthodox world, this city appeared out of thin air.
Qi Xuansu disagreed with this statement, and only regarded it as a legend made up by later generations to make a name for the sake of mythology.
However, Qi Xuansu definitely did not dare to put this idea into words, but just thought so casually in his heart. He still understood the truth that disaster came from his mouth.
Soon, Qi Xuansu came to the moat of Yujing.
This river is called "Taixu River". It is hard to imagine how the Taoist sect dug such a moat on the top of the mountain. Some of the rivers have even left the mountain and hung in the air, like a Milky Way rainbow, hanging without falling, and flowing endlessly. Just this scene is enough to make the first time people who come to Yujing think they have come to the fairyland.
Crossing the Taixu Bridge, which was enough to be parallel to eight horses above the Taixu River, came to the Yujing City Gate, where a spiritual official wearing armor was stationed, responsible for verifying the certificates.
This is not a difficult task. Qi Xuansu's identity as a Taoist priest is real. As long as others don't know his identity as Qingpinghui, there will be no mistakes.
After checking Qi Xuansu's certificate, the spirit officer of the city guarded the city cleared and released it very happily.
The city of Yujing is covered with formations, so the four seasons are like spring. After Qi Xuansu entered the city, he felt that the coldness around him suddenly disappeared, and he was indescribable.
Although Qi Xuansu had been to Yujing, it had happened a long time ago. At that time, he had just left the Wanxiang Dao Palace. During the three-year assessment period, he was attracted by his master and lived here for a while. Later, when his master died, he left Yujing. Therefore, Qi Xuansu had a very limited understanding of Yujing and had only seen the tip of the iceberg.
Generally speaking, the structure of Yujing and Xuandu is like a "convex" character.
The upper part of the character "公" is "Xuandu", with the highest terrain, while the lower part of the character "公" is "Yujing", with the lower terrain.
"Xuandu" is a shape of "hui", and the small mouth inside is "Zifu".
Qi Xuansu has never been to Xuandu and Zifu, so he doesn't know much about it, but Yujing is still familiar with it. Unlike Xuandu and Zifu, which have complicated roads, Yujing's plan is very clear and clear, and it adopts the ancient market layout, like a chessboard.
If Qi Xuansu remembers correctly, there are 24 fangs in total, named after the ancestors of the Taoist dynasty. For example, Chongyang Fang is the ancestor of Chongyang, Chunyang Fang is the ancestor of Chunyang, Chongxu Fang is the ancestor of Chongxu, and so on. In the past, Qi Xuansu lived in Haichanfang with his master, and ranked relatively low among the twenty-four fangs, and belonged to Xiabafang.
As for the Nanhuafang that Qi Xuansu was going to this time, the corresponding one was Nanhua Daojun, which ranks among the top of the twenty-four squares, second only to the Taishangfang, the first of the twenty-four squares, and is as famous as Haotian squares.
These three yards, plus Xuanyuan yard, Guangcheng yard, Chongxu yard, Tongxuan yard, and Dongling yard, are also called Shangbafang. Many real people will also settle their homes in this yard for emergencies.
Qi Xuansu walked slowly along the north-south road that ran through the entire Yujing.
This avenue is called "Shangqing Street", and there is also an east-west "Yuqing Street". The two form a cross, which divides Yujing City into a "field". Each part includes six fangs. The center of the crosses forms a huge square, which is the "city" in the "floor city", called "Taiqing City", and people in the Taoist sect also call it "Taiqing Square".
The word "platz" comes from "Xijing Fu": "Linzhuan Square, Cheng Jiao's wonderful play."
Nanhuafang, where Qi Xuansu is going, is located in the northwest of Taiqing Square.
At this time, Qi Xuansu is located at the intersection of a vertical line in the middle of the character "tian" and a horizontal line below. From here, it is a twenty-mile journey to Nanhuafang.
At this moment, a crisp copper ringtone rang, and a sheep cart drove past Qi Xuansu, slowing down and moving side by side with Qi Xuansu.
There are no horse-drawn carts in Yujing City, only sheep pulling carts, deer pulling carts, and ox pulling carts, which just correspond to the three-level cultivation level. Among them, sheep pulling carts are the lowest, and Taoist people, Taoist children and ordinary Taoist priests can ride them. Moreover, this kind of goat pulling carts is very unique, tall and strong, and the two goats combined are no inferior to ordinary horses.
The coachman was an ordinary roadman. He sat on the shaft about one foot away from the ground and asked, "Does the Taoist priest want to take the car? Ten Ruyi money per mile."
"Go to Nanhuafang." Qi Xuansu stopped and took out two small circles from his carry-on bag.
As the most widely used currency, there are three types of Taiping Money. The commonly said Taiping Money is 1 round, also called a big round. In addition, there are medium rounds and small rounds. The three are engraved with "Taiping in the World", but the latter two are much smaller than 1 round, much lighter and much less silver content.
In terms of price, the middle circle is equivalent to half a circle, which is half a tael of silver from the previous dynasty. The small circle is equivalent to one money. The materials used for Ruyi coins are red copper of nine five coppers, four leads, and one tin. One thousand Ruyi coins are exchanged for 1 round, five hundred Ruyi coins are exchanged for middle circles, and one hundred Ruyi coins are exchanged for small rounds.
There are ten Ruyi coins per mile, and twenty miles are two hundred Ruyi coins, which is two small circles.
The coachman stopped the car to receive the money and greeted enthusiastically: "Please get in the car."
The structure of this sheep cart is not much different from that of a horse cart. It has two-wheeled carriages, and is square in the carriage, and is covered by curtains and door curtains. There are also four-wheeled cars in Yujing City, but the level is higher and the price is more expensive. For those who are alone, two-wheeled cars are more cost-effective.
Qi Xuansu got on the sheep cart and put down the door curtains and curtains.
If Yujing City is good, it will be good, but it is not as hot as fireworks, cold as it is unkind and unkind.
However, Qi Xuansu became more and more curious about Qi Niang's identity. He had asked Qi Niang a long time ago. Qi Niang always avoided talking, so Qi Xuansu stopped asking more questions. Judging from Qi Niang's words, she was quite familiar with Yujing City, and maybe she had lived in Yujing City for a while.
Could it be that Qi Niang is also a Taoist sect?
If so, then what is Qi Niang's identity in the Taoist sect? With her occasionally showing cultivation and familiarity with the various halls of the Taoist sect, she would never be a seventh-grade Taoist priest like Qi Xuansu. Maybe she is a fifth-grade Taoist priest or even a fourth-grade Taoist priest.
If not, then Qi Niang may have been a member of the Taoist sect. What was the reason that made her leave the big tree of the Taoist sect?
Qi Xuansu thought about this, and the sheep cart was not fast or slow. After half an hour, Nanhuafang was already far away.
