Chapter 35 The Foundation of the Human World
Dongzhi County Daofu.
A piece of the "Transmission Spirit Pan" engraved with spiritual inscriptions suddenly released a hazy light. The two high-level Qi training monks on duty immediately pressed and held a corner of the spirit plate and input a magic power into it.
The light emitted by the spirit plate was instantly blazing. After a moment, the light dimmed and the color of half gold and half jade was revealed again. This was the color of the main material of the spirit plate, "Linglong Jade".
A thumb-sized jade talisman appeared in the center of the originally empty spiritual plate.
A monk picked up the jade talisman and sensed it for a moment, his face couldn't help but look strange.
Another monk asked curiously: "Fellow Daoist Le, is it another order issued by the 'Tiansha Dao Palace'? What is the saying in the jade talisman?"
The monk called "Fellow Daoist" shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Wen is not the order of the Taoist Palace. This is a message from the Taoist Mansion next door, and I ask the Taoist Mansion of this county to find a monk. The letter said that he invented what "screw knife trolley" and "threshing machine" had he invented..."
The monk surnamed Wen became more and more curious: "The names of these two objects are very strange. The 'rotating knife trolley' seems to be a powerful attack magic weapon mainly based on 'sword'. The 'threshing machine' makes people unable to understand it. However, since this object is parallel to the 'rotating knife trolley', it must be a kind of magic weapon."
The monk named Le nodded slightly: "What fellow Taoist said is very true!"
He raised the jade talisman in his hand: Since it is a magic weapon, I will go to Liu to work in the future. He is in charge of the commerce in the county and should be familiar with the chamber of commerce that makes "the two things... Please be on duty here for the time being, and then go back after going."
The monk surnamed Wen smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist will go by yourself!"
The monk named Le bowed his hand and left in a hurry.
After half a stick of incense, he successfully found Liu to work in a palace.
This gray-haired foundation-building cultivator was sitting upright in front of a black jade chessboard, engaged in chess with Zhan, who was in charge of mortal affairs in the Taoist government.
Liu was engaged in watching the jade talisman with his divine consciousness, frowned and thought for a while, before shook his head and replied, "I have never heard of these two magical tools!"
Then he threw the jade talisman back to the monk named Le and said lightly: "You go back. Tomorrow, I will arrange people to worship various magic instrument chambers to find relevant clues."
The monk named Le immediately bowed and left.
"Bang!"
Zhan was engaged in putting a black piece on the chessboard, and raised his head and asked, "I wonder if fellow Daoist Liu, what kind of magic weapon is the Dao Mansion in the neighboring county looking for?"
Liu held up a white piece with his right hand and replied: "The jade talisman is called 'rotating knife trolley' and 'threshing machine'."
Zhan was stunned for a moment: "I seem to have heard of these two things."
Liu Chengshi's expression was refreshed and laughed loudly: "This time, I really 'I searched for it without any effort when I got it.' Fellow Taoist, please tell me, where did you hear it?"
Zhan habitually threw the chess piece and murmured: "If Zhan remembers it correctly, a few days ago, a chief officer from Xiaxian Daoyuan came to the Dao Mansion to present these two things."
Speaking of this, he recalled more details and couldn't help but laugh: "However, from my perspective, this person is a complete liar. The 'screw' and threshing machines' are just a pile of broken wood. It can be broken in a blink of an eye, but it is definitely not a magic weapon."
Liu blinked in disbelief: "Be serious about this?"
"Why did Zhan lie?" Zhan frowned unhappy and said another thing he thought was ridiculous: "He was full of nonsense, saying that these two things can help the immortal world fight back against the "outside domain"!"
"This must be a lie!" Liu Chengshi believed his colleagues' words: "Nine 'Treasures of Realm' in the Immortal Cultivation World cannot do this. How can a mere pile of wood be possible?"
He sighed again: "It seems that the monks in the neighboring county government are very likely to be deceived... Well, I should leave some face for my colleagues, just pretend that they didn't see the jade talisman!"
"It should be like this!" Zhan Chengshi said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Liu is indeed as good as an elder."
Liu was so happy that his beard was raised.
…………
After three days of hard work, most of the mortals were transferred to the county town in the seven "high-risk" villages under Shachen County, while the rest were moved to safer villages.
After more than a thousand ordinary people appeared in the narrow county, it became much more prosperous. Hundreds of simple wooden sheds were temporarily built inside and outside the city, and bustling crowds could be seen in the streets and alleys of the city.
It was September, and the temperature at night in the "Yellow Sand Realm" was not low, so there was a simple place to live without considering the issue of keeping warm.
Lei Wen, who used the [Scandid Eyes], walked through the crowd. All the way there were mortals in worn clothes, pale-faced and thin children, and all kinds of voices came into his ears.
"Mom, I'm hungry..."
"Goudan, bear it. Our family has temporarily lived in the county town this time and has not brought too much food. We must save some food..."
"Damn, I'll go outside the county office to take a look. Maybe I can find a short-term job..."
"But I heard that there are too many people looking for jobs outside the county office, and it is difficult to find short-term workers..."
"How can I not try it? I'll go first..."
Lei Wen traveled through the times before, and had already solved the problem of food and clothing in a comprehensive way. People with poor families could also eat and wear warm clothes. Have you ever seen this picture?
"Alas, people's livelihood in this world is so difficult!"
He sighed and silently made a great wish:
"Because of being a monk of the Shennong Sect, I should follow the example of the "Yuan Family Great Master". In addition to practicing, I should also contribute to the people's livelihood. In this way, I can live up to the name of "Shennong"!"
As soon as this thought came out, Lei Wen felt a vague feeling, as if something was secretly peeking at him.
He focused his attention and carefully sensed it, and the strange feeling disappeared without a trace.
"It's really strange, it must be an illusion?" He looked up at the cloudless sky, muttered in a low voice, and walked quickly towards the prefecture.
In a short while, Lei Wen arrived at the prefecture.
"...The talismans can be divided into four categories: duplex, cloud seal, spiritual rune, treasure rune... You should remember that the first two are only mortal seal scripts, which originated from the imitation of immortal talismans by ordinary people.
"The latter two, namely the spirit runes and the treasure runes, are the real texts written by the immortal talismans... I will briefly introduce the difference between these four..."
He stood quietly outside the lecture hall, listening to Zong Hong explaining the teachings of talismans to the Taoist Miao people, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Lei Wen's divine thought suddenly felt a familiar breath, and he turned his head to look, and immediately saw the figure of Zhou Jun, the head of the Taoist cemetery.
The old monk walked slowly, raised his hand and pointed to the lecture hall, and said softly: "That is the hope of this world. Do fellow Taoists agree?"
Lei Wen nodded slightly: "That's true!"
At the same time, he added in his heart: "Although the 'Dao Miao' is the hope of cultivating the world, the countless mortals in the world are the real foundation of the human world!"
At this moment, his thoughts suddenly became extremely clear, as if the clear cold stream or the crystal clear ice jade without any impurities.
Master Zhou's nose moved slightly and suddenly said in surprise: "Fellow Daoist Lei, I seem to smell a faint fragrance emitted from your body!"
Lei Wen was stunned for a moment, raised his sleeve and sniffed it a few times, denying, "I didn't smell the strange fragrance."
Master Zhou got closer and took a few more breaths, and found that there was only the breath of wind and sand. The strange fragrance seemed to have never appeared before. He said in confusion: "Maybe I am really old."
Lei Wen smiled and said, "The chief is always stronger!"
After saying that, he said goodbye and returned to his stone chamber.
