Chapter 915 Wutong Enlightenment
Standing under the plane tree, Liu Jie waited quietly.
The people here are happily, gratefully and cautiously preparing things for Liu Jie.
The people are always simple, and they use the simplest actions to express their gratitude. In addition, some of the best low-grade spiritual fruits and mountain springs in the village were sent to Liu Jie. Many people are reluctant to eat.
Liu Jie looked at these careful people and took these things with a smile. The people immediately showed bright smiles.
Liu Jie, who has traveled almost the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou and experienced successive failures, is actually very tired. This kind of exhaustion does not come from the soul, nor does it come from the heart, but... from hope!
When hope starts to tire, the whole person will sink into the mud. This was the case with Liu Jie in the past; if it weren't for the enthusiastic Gongshu Mingke he met on the road, Liu Jie was even ready to give up.
But when he stopped and came to this small town, Liu Jie seemed to have gained something else.
Different from the intriguing and hypocritical smiles of those kings and officials, the smiles of the common people are pure and brilliant. They may not have gorgeous clothes or beautiful decorations, but their smiles are the purest.
Those smiles seemed to have infected Liu Jie. Standing under the sycamore tree, Liu Jie felt for the first time other things, things other than running around and thinking:
The cool wind, the fragrance of flowers and plants, the rustling of sycamore leaves, and the chirping of birds in the distance; everything is so beautiful. Also, the cheerful smiles and voices of the teenagers in the distance, as well as some chickens, ducks, cats and dogs who were chased away by the teenagers.
A piece of withered and yellow sycamore leaves slowly fell, Liu Jie looked up at the dense sycamore tree above his head; a gust of wind blew up Liu Jie's gray hair and caught Liu Jie's eyes.
Liu Jie was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "Have you been running around for hundreds of years? Maybe it's time to stop running around and take a closer look at the world."
A little insight rose from Liu Jie's heart, and his tired heart was sublimated under the plane tree. The cultivation base that had been suppressed for hundreds of years suddenly began to recover, and a majestic vitality emerged in his body.
Liu Jie's hair became black and lush at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sycamore tree around him was also wrapped in Liu Jie's aura. After autumn, the sycamore tree sprouted buds and bloomed flowers.
This miraculous change left the simple people here dumbfounded, and many of them even knelt down.
Only the village elder in the Nascent Soul stage stopped the commotion of the people immediately when he saw this, and waited quietly.
After a while, Liu Jie's distant gaze slowly retracted, and the village elder immediately stepped forward: "Congratulations, senior, for making great progress in cultivation."
Liu Jie smiled slightly: "Thank you for your blessings here. In this way, I will preach here for three days. If there are outstanding performances within three days, I may consider accepting them as disciples."
The common people and teenagers got ready, Liu Jie opened "Tongyi between Heaven and Man" and began to explain. At this time, what Liu Jie was facing was not a king or aristocrat, nor was he a master of great sages, but some ordinary villagers. In addition, Liu Jie has just realized something, so he starts to explain from the basic part, and it is a comprehensive explanation.
"Heaven and man are one. There are all things in the world, and man is one. Therefore, there is no distinction between heaven and man..."
"All things originate from Tao, and Tao gives birth to three, saying: heaven, earth and man...man also refers to all things..."
"Humanity comes from nature, and nature comes from the way of heaven. Between heaven and earth, the fittest survive..."
"Cultivation should first break through the confusion, clear the mind and see the nature, and then you can induce Qi, practice Qi, and build a foundation... This is the long-term road..."
Little by little, little by little, Liu Jie crushed and smashed everything, explaining bit by bit. At this time, Liu Jie suddenly discovered that he had not fully understood the connotation of the thoughts in "The Universal Meaning of Heaven and Man" in the past. At this time, Liu Jie suddenly remembered the worried eyes of the teacher back then...
It turned out that everything was biased by oneself.
As the sun gradually set, everyone listened carefully; it seemed that even the surrounding chickens, ducks, cats and dogs gathered, and even the surrounding flowers and plants nodded slightly...
This is the real Dao, which connects heaven and man with righteousness, and points directly to the core of practice and the origin of Dao. And at this moment, Liu Jie fully understood. No, it is only when you have entered the room completely that you can see the road ahead; and if you want to reach the peak, there is still a long way to explore-the Tao is endless!
There is no extravagant hype, no fairy music fluttering, only the faint sound of the wind and the faint fragrance of the field at the scene.
As the night passed, Liu Jie still didn't stop; all the people were still sitting cross-legged, quietly comprehending.
This time, it was Liu Jie's chance, and it was also a chance for everyone present, even those chickens, ducks, cats and dogs. On the grass in the morning, some insects docked quietly.
They may not know what Liu Jie is talking about, but they can feel the charm and vibration brought by Liu Jie's words.
The old village elder, who was already on the verge of aging, suddenly began to undergo astonishing changes. The white hair was all gone, and a head of black hair grew quietly; the wrinkles on the face gradually faded, and the handsome face gradually revealed.
The old man opened his eyes, then fell silent, and knelt down quietly and solemnly.
Liu Jie saw it and smiled slightly, but there was no delay or change in the sermon. Words containing the most reasonable words continue to flow out, nourishing this small town.
Gongshu Mingke, who was sitting next to Liu Jie, was also immersed in the feeling at this time.
…………
In the morning, Yongchang County in Zihuan Shenting became lively. Long, long ago, the emperor of Zihuan Shenting established Yongchang County and made it an ideological and cultural center and a commercial center of Zihuan Shenting.
Especially since it is close to the border between Zihuan Shenting and Tailing Shenting in the southwest, such an ideological and cultural center can be regarded as an important frontier defense invisibly. There are so many masters here, any country that wants to use troops here has to think about it!
But today's Yongchang County is more lively. Early in the morning, there was a wide and bright steel shed in the outer city of Yongchang County, covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters.
But this steel shed is very distinctive. Inside are rows of simple shelves, on which are placed a variety of treasures.
The four doors are wide open, and there are no supervisors and protection personnel. Only in the four corners, the words "toll office" are erected. Even at the toll office, there are only a few students with no cultivation base.
Oh, now all the languages and characters have been replaced by Dongsheng Shenzhou's native language. For cultivators, learning a similar language is not a problem.
A big advertising slogan was pasted on the outside: Free Supermarket, buy whatever you want, pay when you are satisfied.
Next to it, there are simple temporary shopping carts, baskets, etc.
At this time, Peng Shaohui, the sheriff of Yongchang County, was looking at all this stupidly. He asked He Zhiguo next to him: "You just put things out like this? Are you not afraid of theft? You know, there are many methods of cultivators, but they are hard to guard against!"
He Zhiguo smiled slightly: "Why should we be on guard? Is there only vigilance and defense between people? Can't we let go of our vigilance and face the world with a smile?"
Peng Shaohui was so choked by He Zhiguo's words that he couldn't speak. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to refute—could it be said that the people in Dongsheng Shenzhou are actually very poor? In the end, he could only smile bitterly and awkwardly, and turn his attention to this so-called supermarket.
Seeing this, He Zhiguo smiled again and said, "Master Peng, why don't you go and take a look? What we bring is limited after all. There are many good things here."
Peng Shaohui hesitated for a while, and he wanted to investigate some characteristics of the Shang Dynasty, etc., and finally made a decision-go down and have a look.
Peng Shaohui walked into the supermarket without his own soldiers. At this time, the supermarket was overcrowded, and everyone was stunned, but at a loss; many people stared at the products and prices in front of them.
Peng Shaohui looked one by one, and there were many obvious signs in front of each shelf. There are: spiritual liquid area, pill area, basic material area, advanced material area, magic weapon area, and industrial product area.
Among them, the industrial product area is very large, and there are many categories in it, such as arms, computers, machinery, etc. There are even artillery displays.
Peng Shaohui took a look, and walked past the easternmost "spiritual liquid area", and saw crystal bottles, big and small. Peng Shaohui looked carefully:
50ml of liquid aura, with a purity of 99.99992%, is priced at 100,000 taels of gold.
105 milliliters of liquid aura with a purity of 99.99992% and a price of 200,000 taels of gold.
...
Homogeneous emperor slurry, Grade A, 50ml, 98% perfect, priced at 560,000 taels of gold.
Homogeneous Emperor Ointment, Grade B, 120ml, 83% perfect, priced at 440,000 taels of gold.
Non-homogeneous, green doubling-type Emperor Ointment, used for watering elixir, Grade A, 200ml, priced at 2 million taels of gold.
Heterogeneous, purple doubling-type Emperor Ointment, used to purify the body, Grade A, 180ml, price 2 million taels of gold.
Finally, there are two bottles of colorful streamer's fairy spirit, only 3 liters, still in gaseous state, but the asking price is 2 billion taels of gold.
...
Black iron, 99.98% pure, one kilogram, worth 9 million taels of gold.
Pure gold, 99.98% pure, one kilogram, worth 14.5 million taels of gold.
...
Feijian, a first-class magic weapon, has a mass of 1.56 kg. It is refined in a skyfire environment. It has a dense texture. The shape design has been optimized for 18 times, with the least resistance and the ultimate power.
Material: nanoscale alloy.
Ingredients: 68% fine gold, 22% red copper, 6% Taibai fine gold, 3% Taihua purple gold, 0.7% Shoushan red copper, 0.2% star fine gold; the remaining ingredients are 0.1%.
Hardness: 2034 times the hardness of low-level spirit stones.
Features: extreme yang, evil spirits, high speed, sharp.
Price: 199.99 million taels of gold.
...
Treasure armor, a first-class magic weapon... the price is 299.99 million taels of gold.
Magic weapon set, including flying sword, shield, helmet, sky eye detection core, upper body armor, lower body armor, shoulder pads, knee pads, limb armor, gloves, boots... the price is 1,259,990,000 taels of gold.
...
Peng Shaohui was shocked at first, then shocked, and finally numb... The sudden emergence of the Shang Dynasty is too shocking.
To be honest, Peng Shaohui now has an idea: if he grabs this place, he can use these things to form a good sect!
Turning his head and looking around, Shang Dynasty didn't have any decent protection at all, only a few students of Shang Dynasty were sitting here at the toll booth at the four corners and yawned.
Many masters around were also looking around stupidly—everyone thought of all possible forms of transactions, even including the most cheating auctions. But I never thought that someone would put these precious items here like this.
grab it? Or not to grab it? This is really a problem!
But He Zhiguo smiled from a distance, with pride in his smile, and more... an indescribable arrogance.
Peng Shaohui wandered around for a while, and came to the industrial product area in a daze. The first thing I saw was the computer that was turned on, with a price tag next to it: 3.5 million taels of gold.
After looking at it for a long time, Peng Shaohui couldn't understand why this thing was so expensive, and there seemed to be almost no aura fluctuations.
Immediately, he looked at the engine next to him. The asking price ranged from high to low. The lowest asking price was only a few hundred thousand taels of gold, and the highest asking price was even more expensive than the magic weapon set—it was a super engine with a length of more than 30 meters.
There are also guns, artillery, and a few locomotives.
Peng Shaohui couldn't understand the industrial products area at all, and he didn't know how to use these things. However, Peng Shaohui turned his head to look at the faintly visible aerospace aircraft carrier in the distance, and had a speculation in his mind-could these so-called industrial products have something to do with that aerospace aircraft carrier?
No, for industrial things, you still have to actively communicate with people from the Shang Dynasty. It seems that the 'industry' should be very powerful, which created the current Shang Dynasty.
When Peng Shaohui turned around, some cultivators gradually realized that they began to buy some products and tried to pay.
Sometimes people are very strange, if you are on guard, maybe everyone will play tricks together; but in a supermarket like this, under the watchful eyes of the public and under the influence of the completely open and free thinking of the Shang Dynasty, these masters have consciously learned to line up up!
Oh, there is also a sign at the toll office: Please line up consciously in order of first come first served.
The students started to get busy, scanning the products with handheld devices, and the bill appeared amidst the sound of beeps.
"1.8 million taels of gold, yes, just right. Welcome."
"12.89 million taels of gold, I'm looking for your proof of 10,000 taels of gold, please keep it safe. Welcome to patronize, I wish you a happy day."
...
Peng Yongguang walked towards He Zhiguo step by step, but his heart was blocked by all emotions such as shock, surprise, curiosity, etc., and he could hardly think.
Coming in front of He Zhiguo, Peng Yongguang muttered for a long time before he could say a word: "It's a wonderful Shang Dynasty."
He Zhiguo nodded proudly: "Thank you for the compliment."
He Zhiguo's straightforward answer made Peng Yongguang speechless.
…………
At the same time, in the palace of Zihuan Shenting, the emperor finally squeezed out time to meet Linghu Zhenwu who had rushed over after his retreat.
After meeting, Linghu Zhenwu immediately said: "Brother Huang, you finally have time, I have been waiting for you until midnight.
Let me tell you, you must not underestimate the Shang Dynasty that came this time, you must have a good exchange, and dig out all their technologies.
Not to mention anything else, I heard that the so-called celestial phenomenon observed by the Great Zhou Dynasty some time ago was actually a rocket launched by the Shang Dynasty to explore the outer space.
On the way here, I saw the missiles of the Shang Dynasty, very sharp! "
As he spoke, Linghu Zhenwu took out a jade slip.
The emperor saw it, and immediately made a decision: "What a Shang Dynasty. In this way, you go to stabilize the Shang Dynasty first; then I will go there in person and meet in Yongchang County."
Instead of summoning, meet face-to-face? This is very grand!
