Chapter 8 Meals(1/2)
"This Beichen Sword Sect was the No. 1 sword sect in Xuanmen back then, and the swordsman's killing skills were the best among all the immortals. It's a pity..." Fuling paused, looked at Li Fan and said, "Qingyue, come up and bow to me.
After practicing for a long time, you may not know the difference, but as time goes by, you will understand that nurture is no match for nature."
"The Dao is one foot high, and the devil is ten feet high..." Li Fan touched his chin.
Isn’t that right? Whether Taisu’s Heavenly Way is more powerful or Taiji’s Immortal Way is more powerful, you’ll understand after a few fights. It’s been more than five hundred years since Beichen Sword Sect was exterminated, and it’s still said like a thunderbolt. It’s probably mentioned frequently as a typical case.
For example, look at the Beichen Sword Sect, it's awesome, blah blah... wasn't it destroyed by Youquan in the end?
The ancestors and sects achieved great fame, but in the end they were used as stepping stones to step on. It is really sad.
Jianyi remained silent, probably really shocked. It seems that it still has feelings for the former sect. But in other words, Xuantian Jianyi was trapped by the virtual star in the sky for at least five hundred years, right?
Poria suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Qingyue, you have already worshiped the moon, have you noticed anything about your body that is different from ordinary people?"
In addition to the identity mental health system and the Xuantian Sword Intent, which can open up the inner sea and open up the Zhoutian meridians in one night, and the Zhushan Sword Intent, which can be sent and received at will with ease, is there anything else that is different from ordinary people? Probably none.
After all, the body has not developed yet. Only when it grows longer can we know whether it is different from humans...
"Oh, maybe the skin has become a little smoother?" Li Fan touched his face.
‘Li Fan’s mood has improved a bit’
"..." Fu Ling became angry and stared, as if she couldn't help but want to pinch him, "You have the ability to connect the heavens and the sky, and the Qi body comes from the same source. You can breathe naturally from the body's hair and skin, just like the state of the mother's womb.
, the skin will be as supple and tender as a newborn fetus, which is a natural characteristic of the middle stage of Qi training. Look, I am the same."
That's right, big, white, pink and tender.
‘Li Fan’s mood has improved a bit’
Poria spat, "Don't be poor. Apart from this, I want to ask you about any changes in your body, such as a pimple somewhere, a hard lump somewhere, or the growth of extra limbs and eyeballs."
"This has never happened before..." Li Fan thought of the old Taoist's arms and the mountain master's pupils, and understood what she meant, "As long as you practice the innate way, will there be such negative effects on the body, just like Qin Jian
Master, like the Mountain Master and Fairy Wangshu, can they mutate into magical forms?"
"No, maybe you haven't been practicing for a long time. But when you practice the Xiantian Dao, sooner or later, some places will generate Dao bodies. If they are 'things', they can still be recognized, but 'non-things' are...
Anyway, don’t panic when the time comes, otherwise you’ll go crazy and you won’t be able to take it back. But you put this on first.”
Fu Ling took out a silk scarf.
"This is……"
Li Fan vaguely remembered that he had seen similar objects before. The three monks who abducted him to Zhushan were wearing similar silk scarves to cover their faces.
Fuling waved her hand, half-hugged Li Fan into her arms, helped him tie his hair and wear a crown, hung up his face towel with a jade hairpin, and covered Li Fan's face, hazy, as if a mist was rising.
But after a while, the smoke and cloud dispersed again, and the vision became clear again, but it was not affected at all.
"This is 'faceless'. Some monks who worship the moon have insufficient foundation and will inevitably show different appearances. Sometimes they will influence each other and manifest demonic forms. Not only are they at risk of becoming demons, but they are also seen by mortals in the human world.
, may also cause unnecessary damage.
Therefore, all the monks who go out to do business must wear it, so that if they encounter evil spirits outside the mountain, they can resist it. It is not necessary here at the mountain gate, but it is the first time for me to worship the moon at such a young age, so be careful."
'Ignorance slightly reduces the chance of mood swings.'
Oh, the system is officially certified, that probably works. No, it does work. Li Fan could feel two warm and soft balls touching his back, but his heart felt calm! Rub...
‘Li Fan’s mood has slightly improved by 1 point’
You see, it has decreased from a large amount to a slight amount.
"I'm going to kill you. You're so young and don't know etiquette at all." Fu Ling spat angrily, but she didn't push Li Fan away. She even took out a gold pendant hanging from a red string and tied it to him.
This gold pendant is carved into some kind of auspicious animal. It is round and has a ring in its mouth. It looks like a snail and clam. It falls and falls right on the heart.
Then Poria used two fingers of her right hand to dip her tongue into it, then dipped some red powder on a basin of rouge box, and drew a talisman on the back of Li Fan's neck.
"This is the Jiaotu Calming Mantra. It is not a forbidden spell. It can ward off evil spirits, suppress nightmares, and prevent disasters. People outside are unpredictable, and sometimes they are more terrifying than the magic form. Qingyue, you must always be careful and don't rely on it.
Carrying the wonderful Dharma on one’s body is arrogant and arrogant.”
This is really teaching him like a child.
"Thank you Sister Fuling for your teaching. Qingyue has taken note of it."
"Okay, it's not that dangerous just outside the mountain gate. Just be careful. Don't stay in my arms and leave."
Li Fan reluctantly got up and followed Poria out of the boat. He stood at the bow and looked out. He saw a fast waterway underneath. He didn't know what kind of big river it was. The water surface was wide, and it must be four or five miles long.
The river flows from north to south, and then turns at almost a right angle and flows eastward. Due to the terrain, it created an alluvial plain, where a large town is located. To the southwest of the river is lush green mountains and mountains. To the northeast of the river is the place where people come and go.
Go, bustling with people.
At the right angle of the river, Li Fan saw a seven-story Taoist tower at a glance, with brown tiles and black buildings, cornices and brackets, countless scarves and flags on the railings, and thousands of silver bells hanging from each niche.
There is also a big night pearl as big as a dragon's eye on the top of the tower, with green light shining brightly, and the Taoist breath is at the top. Looking from a distance, it seems like a thirty-foot iron mace, inserted from the clouds into the world, forcing the river to be distorted.
As if driving away.
Under the tower, there are palaces and courtyards, with balconies with three entrances and nine exits inside and outside, as dense as an ant house, like an inner city. There are also two straight roads with four horses running parallel, one going east and the other
Heading north, the cars and boats that come and go travel along the two main roads along the river. The entire town also expands outwards based on these two trade roads.
"That's the sect outside the Mozhu Mountain. I'll take you to get an errand later." Fuling also lifted the curtain and walked out, hanging a pink veil on the golden-winged phoenix hairpin, covering half of her face.
Li Fan was not surprised and nodded in agreement.
Even if it is a third-rate sect in Shangao, there are still a few Nascent Souls and a group of real people, and they have to show off their basic dignity. Moreover, it can be seen that the Zhushan Sect is quite worldly, not the kind of hidden immortal sect that purely hides from the world.
Of course, you can guess from the fact that Poria put so much rouge, gouache, and jewelry in the boat. It is impossible for the practitioners to produce all the food and clothing expenses themselves. It is too late for people to become immortals. Whoever engages in these mundane things is not the same. Probably even ordinary practitioners
The utensils were originally bought from the human world and were 'enchanted'.
Poria drove a small boat down to a merchant's house in the city. Pedestrians were also accustomed to flying boats and cars, and they were obviously used to seeing Zhushan's disciples coming out to buy. The shopkeeper of this merchant's association came to the inner courtyard to wait to pay homage to the fairy.
.
Fu Ling casually lifted the shopkeepers up with her hands, turned her head and said to Li Fan, "This Jiang Ji Trading Company is the private property of the young lady's family. I will look after it for her now, while you wait for me to check some miscellaneous matters."
Li Fan is self-defeating. If he achieves enlightenment by himself, chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven. Not to mention that the backstage is still protected by real people in the Nascent Soul stage. This business must also pay for the daily worship of Fairy Wangshu.
He didn't bother Fu Ling's work, and just wandered around the store, looking here and there. He roughly saw that this store mainly bought some daily necessities, brocade and silk. It also sold some elixirs, talismans, and gold and silverware.
Small jewelry. Do you believe that there is even Qi training? Of course it is written on paper and has no illusion effect. Whether the Qi can be visualized depends on the practitioner's qualifications and luck.
But it can also be seen that Hou Tianxian Dao's strength has really dropped, and everything with a clearly marked price can be bought and sold.
And Li Fan also noticed something. He was walking around wearing a mask, and no one around him saluted him.
Of course, it's not that he looked down on him as a child and deliberately offended the practitioners, but that no one really noticed his existence. Subconsciously, his eyes passed by Li Fan, as if he was deliberately ignoring it...
Ah! So this is the principle! No matter whether it is an object or not, as long as you pretend not to see anything, you can pretend that nothing happened, right! Tsk, is it okay to pretend like an ostrich? No wonder you have to button your eyes.
Well, I'm drunk too...
‘Xuan Tian Sword Intent wants the host to buy a jar of wine’
"Oh, buy wine..." Li Fan rolled his eyes when he heard the system suddenly speak. He could probably guess that Xuantian Jianyi felt bad and wanted to pay tribute to Beichen Sword Sect.
Of course Li Fan would not refuse. After all, he has now discovered that in this world, mental health is the most important thing for Zhennima. It is better to vent with Jianyi, lest this guy is also mentally unhealthy and it is still shrinking in his meridians.
Maybe something happened...
Turning around and seeing Fuling still checking the accounts, Li Fan went directly outside the business and walked to the street.
This town is backed by Mozhu Mountain, and the traders who come and go can do business with the cultivation sects and the family of Yuanying Zhenren. Naturally, they all have a background in the human world. Looking at the regulations on the things on Poria, at least they must be
Only the nobles, distinguished families, and vassal princes in the imperial court could use it.
These business travelers are all rich or expensive, so there will naturally be many restaurants and restaurants to serve them, and the quality will not be low.
Li Fan didn't take two steps before he found a room. The plaque read, "Ke Shan Zhai". There was a queue outside to eat, and there were courtyard boxes inside. There was also a view of the plum blossom mountain in the attic, and an open-air courtyard. When you stopped, you could see a bicycle.
The monk He Yujian descended from the sky and fell into the courtyard to have a dinner.
Oh...it's awesome, this is it...
Li Fan took advantage of his lack of knowledge and forced his way in. The place was bright, clean, and fragrant.
The walls are painted with flying goddesses holding fine wines and delicacies. Can you believe that this kind of Chinese painting is actually the menu? There are also inscriptions written by literati and writers beside the dishes. Of course, they are at least seven-character quatrains and poems. Like so-and-so
Stop embarrassing yourself by writing stupid words like this when you are here.
Okay, the marketing of this store is pretty good, is it an Internet celebrity store?
Li Fan looked at the menu on the wall with his hands behind his back.
Pengxueshuang cherry, Mengzeluoyu, Zhumingbingmei, rosy clouds and moonlight, hibiscus hydrangea, green willow, snow and clouds...
Oops... Frankly speaking, with his literary quality, at a glance, he doesn't even know what it is... System, can you translate it?
…
system?
…
"Guest, do you want to have a meal?" Suddenly, the flying goddess painted on the wall suddenly turned her face and said to Li Fan with a smile.
‘Li Fan’s mood dropped by 1 point’
