Liu Jixing stood quietly by the window and looked at the river. Because of the prosperity of Guangning, the sky outside was not dark, but rather brightly lit.
The imperial court did not impose a curfew in nearby counties. Instead, it encouraged people to enrich their lives. Although the royal family changed masters, it did not have much impact on the people. What's more, in the days since Liu Jixing ascended the throne, the first thing to correct was the policy towards the people.
In this era, some of the so-called benefits of the imperial court were, at best, an amnesty for the whole country when major events occurred in the imperial court. However, Liu Jixing was the first to propose the reduction of exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes, which was a real reduction in execution. Wherever local officials violated the regulations, Liu Jixing would attack them and kill the leaders of the owl who served as a warning to the public.
Encouraging people's livelihood, developing the economy, and encouraging mulberry trees and helping farmers made the entire Lingnan region aware of the emperor, but this was an unprecedented event since Emperor Gaozu Liu Yan. Guangning's prosperity today is not only because it is one of the surrounding prefectures and counties that protect the capital, but also because Emperor Liu Jixing vigorously developed the economy of the north and south.
First of all, the number of police officers in surrounding counties increased, which allowed Guangning, as the water and land center, to not only maintain peace, but also make people's lives richer. With the concentration and gathering of the population, all walks of life are filling up Guangning, and people's lives have become more interesting. As the emperor, Liu Jixing hoped that the people would have a sense of happiness.
Although Liu Jixing has not yet experienced the Central Plains of this era, he can imagine with his toes that it must have been miserable and suffering. As for Lingnan, because of the Liu family's vigorous economic development, the people did not experience major war sufferings. The prefectures and counties near Prince Xing's Mansion can be compared with the state capitals of the former Central Plains.
Since Liu Jixing ascended the throne, although it has been two years but actually less than a year, Liu Jixing has issued a series of policies to benefit the people. Not only does it strongly support farmers and businesses, but it also continuously brainwashes the people, enhances the royal prestige and sense of honor, and makes everyone feel the happiness in Lingnan.
Judging from the current situation in Guangning, Liu Jixing's policy is relatively successful. According to Liu Jixing's own judgment, the living standard in Guangning today should have reached the lives of people in large and medium-sized cities in his own time in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. For the separatist forces in the Central Plains region, Guangning is like a paradise.
Because Liu Yuan was originally obese and weighed more than 160 pounds at a young age. Not only was he unable to get on the horse, he was out of breath even while walking. After Liu Jixing's continuous training, he has gradually transformed from a fat man into a somewhat sturdy young man.
But when he was in Prince Xing's Mansion, he had to deal with too many problems every day. Although Liu Jixing exercised and had obvious results in a few months, Liu Jixing himself was still not satisfied. Later generations were proud of his abdominal muscles. parts.
The good thing is that my body has changed from fat to strong, and I am much taller than before. I feel a bit more muscular. In this era, people in the south were generally short. The Liu family were descendants of people from the north, so they were naturally majestic in the eyes of southerners.
Liu Jixing visually estimated that he is now relatively rare in the south, and may be as tall as 1.7 meters in future generations. Liu Jixing is quite satisfied with the current situation, but if he wants to enter the Central Plains in the future, Liu Jixing hopes that his body will be in the best condition at all times.
However, Liu Jixing's habit of dealing with many things every day cannot be separated from sitting on the dragon's chair. He is afraid of growing belly fat, so he usually stands when he is leisurely. Coupled with regular exercise and restraint, Liu Jixing gradually formed the habit of standing.
In fact, with Liu Jixing's current cultivation of Qi, Xiao Yue also told him that it is not difficult to change the structure of the body. Because there are very few people who practice inner Qi like masters who practice outside, and exercise their skin, bones, muscles every day. However, Liu Jixing was very envious of the special forces of later generations, so he always insisted on exercising and wanted to exercise his body through external forces to become more symmetrical and explosive.
Liu Jixing's persistence was not in vain. Not only was his energy and spirit better, but his physical condition was also much better than that of many people who simply cultivated the internal energy.
Although this official post received distinguished guests like Huarui and prepared the best food, accommodation and convenience for everyone, Liu Jixing, who was used to living a plain life in later generations, did not reveal his identity when he came, nor did he let anyone do anything. Specialized, he lived in an ordinary guest room just like an ordinary guard leader.
Although the room is very simple, it is not lacking in anything, and it looks clean and comfortable. It may be a model of an official post in this era. To use Liu Jixing's own feelings, it was like spending one night in a VIP room made of furniture made of precious wood and full of antiques.
Liu Jixing felt very satisfied, not to mention that there was a beautiful woman making tea for him. Drinking the fragrant and moisturizing tea, feeling the good news from the secret report, Liu Jixing could be said to be filled with comfort.
Originally, I was still thinking about the purpose of the man on the roof. A master with such skill is obviously not an ordinary person. I secretly came out this time, although I didn't bring many guards, nor Xia Qinghou and Shi Wu beside me. But he still had some confidence, and asked the secret party to prepare dozens of teenagers from the Youth Hall.
However, while looking at the tranquility outside the window, Liu Jixing suddenly felt more relaxed. This was indeed a particularly subtle feeling. Although he was surprised by the skill of the man on the roof, he didn't take it to heart. Liu Jixing thought about the feeling of chatting with Xia Qinghou, and estimated that he had reached another stage of bottleneck.
"As a party member who has been valued and cultivated by the organization, No. 3 first made a fatal mistake. When performing the task, he had doubts about the tasks assigned by the organization, and actually delayed the precious time of the comrade's retreat!" Wang Ying's voice was actually a little bit Heavily, looking at the profile of Liu Jixing's face under the candlelight, his eyes seemed to be a little blurred.
Liu Jixing was noncommittal. He had seen the secret agent just now, so he naturally understood this. As a comrade who is performing a mission at the same time, if a companion encounters this problem. Later generations of special forces or mercenaries would usually abandon the opponent directly to avoid affecting the overall situation of the operation. Sometimes the time can be calculated accurately to the second.
"As a party member, I don't have the confidence to kill decisively. What's more, before the initial completion of the mission, I made an emotionally indecisive decision. I actually led people who had nothing to do with the mission, had uncertainties and were not companions to evacuate!" Wang Ying's voice was a little cold, and she was asking herself in her heart what she would do and deal with if she encountered such a thing.
Liu Jixing thought about it. Although the other party helped Liu Yin enter Liuyan Village, he was actually just a chess piece. It sounds a bit cruel to say it, but the success of anything requires different efforts.
If you don’t want to pay, you may lose everything!
Chu Di's actions were a testing field in his mind. To put it harshly, he had no confidence at all. It just gave them a few empty titles and left them to fend for themselves.
If you succeed, you will reap the fruits yourself; if you fail, it will have no impact on you!
Liu Jixing naturally would not tell anyone else, anyone in this world! Liu Jixing would not reveal his feelings. Because if this idea is known to others, it will undoubtedly demote oneself to the eighteenth level of hell.
"As a party member, because of my sudden thoughts and impulses, I ignored the arrangements and decisions of the organization's actions, and caused unnecessary troubles during the actions, which led to the sacrifice of my comrades and comrades! Not only did I lose the hard-fought local institutions, Strength may also lead to local agencies in the organization trusting and doubting the organization!" Wang Ying pursed her lips and said in a deep voice: "Please give instructions from the head!"
"Very good! Xiaoying's analysis is spot on!" Liu Jixing looked at Wang Ying with a surprised smile on his face.
"But one thing I would like to add is that we must always understand the purpose of the organization: to fight for the future of the people, to serve the future of the people, not to be afraid of sacrifice, and to overcome all difficulties! With this firm belief, what else can be defeated? Where are we!" Liu Jixing said with a smile, watching Wang Ying walk over calmly.
"If we ourselves doubt what we are doing, then everything will be meaningless. What someone wants to say is that no matter what difficulties we encounter at any time, we will always believe in who the organization exists for! If there is such a Comrade, we must not only educate, but also be vigilant and remind at all times to avoid doing more and greater harm!"
Wang Ying saw Liu Jixing reaching out. Wang Ying wanted to avoid it, but she didn't have the strength to do so. When she saw him tapping her shoulder, her whole body felt like an electric shock, and she immediately stood upright.
With her sudden movement, the firmness of her chest trembled up and down uncontrollably, and her breathing naturally became rapid. For a moment, the waves were so turbulent that people's blood could not help but surge.
"Always loyal to the party! Loyal to the organization! Please tell me, chief!" Wang Ying's face turned red, and you can imagine the excitement in her heart.
"Go and discuss it with Eleven Niang to see their decision on this matter. Draw up a constructive ruling and secret order. Once a certain family has seen it, they will order it to be sent out overnight!"
Watching Wang Ying take the order and go out, a knowing smile appeared on Liu Jixing's lips.
"We have a distinguished guest coming, why don't you come in and get together!" Liu Jixing's lips parted slightly, but no sound came out, but it had already reached the person on the roof.
This unique skill was passed down by Yang Jiong himself. Liu Jixing often sang harmoniously with Shi Wu and Xia Qinghou. Now he has already reached the level where he becomes more familiar with it. Many innate masters who have been innate for decades may not be in this state, but it makes people outside No one dares to underestimate him.
"What a handsome man, with his innate ability to transmit sounds into secrets, and his innate cultivation skills, I'm afraid he will enter the realm of refining gods and returning to the void! Tsk tsk, that's amazing! Geez, I didn't expect to meet such an interesting person in this small place. !" A sweet voice like a silver bell came, and it turned out to be a woman's crisp voice: "The moonlight is just right outside, why not enjoy it together under the moonlight!"
"That's why I wish to hear it but I dare not ask for it!" Liu Jixing responded readily and quickly jumped out of the window. There was a big banyan tree outside.
! ! !
! ! !
road!
That's right!
Very Taoist!
name!
What a name!
Very famous!
The beginning of the nameless world!
The famous mother of all things!
Many people have different interpretations of this passage, and they have different interpretations. Different opinions cannot be copied or distinguished.
However, if this passage must be explained in words, the general meaning is nothing more than: Tao, such a mysterious and mysterious thing, we can talk about it, or we can explain it with names. But no matter how you explain it, from which aspect you interpret it. Its real meaning and true image are not what we say, and we cannot truly summarize its profoundness.
Nature because it will not be what we say it is, or be like something, because none of what we describe is like that and none of it can explain the true eternal Tao!
So some people think that Tao cannot be explained and can only be experienced by everyone. In fact, it still makes sense.
Regardless of it, there has always been a consensus that the Tao was created before heaven and earth. Before the division of heaven and earth, there was already Tao.
Whether it is really like this, whether it is also misleading, and whether it has not reached that level, no one can explain it, and no one dares to explain it arrogantly.
If we have to explain it, can we first understand it like this: Tao was created before the creation of the world!
Before all things, was it because of Tao that the world was created?
Moreover, many practitioners believe that Tao was created before all things!
Regardless of whether this theory is correct or not, we can think so for now. Does saying this further confirm that Tao is the mother of all things, and that all things came into being because of Tao?
Therefore, from this point of view, it is difficult to describe the Tao completely and clearly. It also shows that the Tao cannot be expressed by verbal descriptions.
However, Tao does indeed exist! Its existence has given many practitioners a goal to pursue.
The Taoist Supreme believes that Tao is the highest existence that produces and determines everything in the world.
Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things!
The road is so big that it cannot be seen or heard, but it is everywhere.
It can only be imagined, but it cannot be touched. People who touch it are already figures standing between heaven and earth.
Tao is the origin of the universe and the beginning of all things.
It is eternal and absolute, something that exists both in form and in spirit.
It not only transcends what we call subjective and objective differences, but also transcends the distance of time and space, and is even different from the categories of cause and effect and life.
It should be something that cannot be seen, smelled, and even more indescribable, or even an inconceivable absolute existence.
Tao itself should be indescribable, it should be an abstract entity without any actual existence. People often add various attributes and general frameworks to it when they talk about it. From this, there are two ways in the world.
One is the unspeakable Tao, which we can call the Tao of nothingness; the other is the Tao that can be described, which is called human preaching.
The world needs preaching, but what we pursue is empty Tao!
road! That’s the way!
You go and follow your way, that is the way! Your way!
There is no Tao in the world, but when more people follow it, it becomes Tao! Become your way! It has also become a way to guide others!
The interpretation of practicing the way of heaven is nothing more than this.
Everyone is pursuing the way of heaven. Warriors hope to be the best in the world in this life. In the end, they find that they are constantly being surpassed by others. They catch up again and are surpassed by others, but their lives have come to an end. This number one has no meaning whatsoever in life.
So it turned into the pursuit of immortality.
Immortality is also a way! The way to pursue life persistently!
Practitioners hope to live forever, but there are too few spiritual energy, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures in the world. Therefore, practitioners hide themselves in paradise and wilderness, hoping to find a sparsely populated place where they can enjoy the spiritual energy around them without being disturbed by external objects. disturb.
Then, problems arise. Without super-powerful force, he simply pursues cultivation and finds that he cannot survive at all. Because in the biological chain of organisms, humans are not the most powerful existence. Without the protection of force, humans cannot defeat many wild beasts.
Therefore, practitioners combined with the practice of force can not only effectively protect themselves while practicing in the wilderness, but also greatly strengthen their physical fitness. Practitioners with good luck finally find that they have found a bridge connecting heaven and earth, opening the way to immortality.
So practice became a long and fascinating pursuit!
As the things and the mysteries of heaven and earth were decomposed one by one, it was finally discovered that the pursuit of the past was just a short journey between heaven and earth. When manpower is limited, life is exhausted, and many practitioners have not reached the highest level of practice, they will not be able to fight the passage of time.
But like a moth flying into the flame, life goes on forever!
The moonlight is like a wash!
Under the moonlight, thousands of houses were lit with lights. Although it was already late at night and there was no one on the streets of Guangning, the faint sound of silk and bamboo could still be heard.
There were many ships parked on the river outside Guanyi, including cargo ships traveling between merchants and merchants, as well as passenger ships moored at the shore. Of course, the official ship that came in the afternoon was still the largest and most majestic. They park quietly on the bank of the river, forming a quiet picture with Guangning City.
The official post has two floors, which is higher than many houses in the city, highlighting its importance in Guangning City.
Under the moonlight, a fairy in white clothes is as graceful as a fairy. She is sitting on the main eaves of the roof of the official posthouse, looking up at the full moon in the sky. The silhouette is like a painting, which is fascinating to look at. Although you don’t know whether it is intentional or not, every move is exciting.
Just the posture of sitting there is enough to make people feel beautiful to the core. Although she wears a dark veil, looking at the fluttering clothes and the white clothes like smoke and clouds, it looks hazy but is extremely clear in my heart, making me feel like I have met the Fairy of the Moon Palace.
"A certain Liu Qingnu was lucky enough to meet a fairy on such a good time. I wonder if the fairy came from heaven!" Liu Jixing has seen countless beauties, but when he saw the woman sitting on the ridge of the roof, he couldn't help but express his sincere admiration. and emotion.
This woman indeed has the best temperament among the women I have ever seen! Every gesture, every move, every frown and smile exudes infinite temperament and style. Even without the slightest movement, it feels unbearable to be blasphemed!
I don't know why, although he hasn't seen her eyes yet, Liu Jixing feels in his heart that he seems to have seen her somewhere? This subtle feeling directly caused the blood in Liu Jixing's body to surge.
Could it be in a dream!
"Your mouth is so sweet!" A sweet voice came, and the woman slowly turned her head, looking at Liu Jixing with a pair of crystal clear eyes. It seemed that his eyes could see through Liu Jixing's body, and he could see the rapidly flowing blood and the heartbeat that could no longer calm down.
Liu Jixing looked at her with extremely tender and clear eyes. Although his mind was distracted for a moment, his heart remained clear. After all, I came here specially, but I wanted to see who this kind of spiritual person is.
Seeing that Liu Jixing didn't dodge at all, the woman's smile under the veil became even stronger, and the corners of her eyes seemed to be raised. Looking at Liu Jixing quietly, it was like looking at his own relatives. She was Gao Yangyi who suddenly stopped in Guangning on a whim. An inexplicable feeling made her stop. After a brief search, she followed Liu Jixing to Guanyi.
The graceful Gao Yangyi and the calm Liu Jixing.
Under the moonlight, the two people looked at each other quietly, like a pair of lovers looking at each other affectionately.
Liu Jixing came out of the house, landed on the banyan tree, and then jumped to the roof through the banyan branches. Based on his cultivation and the guidance he had received, his Qinggong was already very good. But he had no such consciousness at all, and still imagined himself as the person in future generations who would not often use this high-and-high technique.
Even with the treasure in his possession, Liu Jixing always thought he was a pauper. Even though the women around him couldn't help but tease him, what interested Liu Jixing was his own strong energy. After meeting Dao Zun, I had some adventures. When I came to Lingnan, it was just that something suddenly appeared in my body.
Liu Jixing did not use Qinggong to improve his posture, but because of the profound Qi support, Liu Jixing's body had already automatically harmonized with the Zhenyuan between heaven and earth, and his turbid Qi had been replaced a long time ago. It can be said that his body is as light as a swallow.
It landed on the roof tiles, and there was no movement at all. On the contrary, it was an effortless movement, which made people feel a little grand.
"You actually have a good level of cultivation. What's even more surprising is that you are still so young, and you are a genius that I have never encountered in these years!" The surprise in Gao Yangfu's eyes was not concealed. , looked Liu Jixing up and down, and suddenly covered his lips and smiled: "It's really fate! You must be the person I am looking for when I go south!"
Gao Yangyi looked at Liu Jixing thoughtfully, his smile was really charming!
