Our world is surrounded by ocean, with scattered large and small islands and small islands. The largest five islands are called land, distributed in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
They are Zhongtu Shenzhou, Nanzhanbuzhou, Beiju Luzhou, Xiniuhezhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou.
There are also four small states, which are smaller than the five continents and larger than the islands. They are named Antarctica, Arctic Continent, Zifu Continent, and Tianpeng Continent. In this way, the nine continents are collectively called the world.
The Jiuzhou world has a vast territory and many strange people and strange things. It is undoubtedly the Nanzhan continent. It is located in the south, where fish and dragons are mixed. Three religions and nine streams gather. The world is rolling, and heroes are rising together. The momentum is not inferior to the Shenzhou in Chixian County in the middle of the country.
There was a Daqian dynasty at the southernmost tip of Nanzhan continent.
Great is the Qian Yuan, when all things begin, they unite the heavens.
How great is the Qian Yuan, which supports the sun and the moon to support Zhenguan; how great is the Kun Yuan, which relies on the mountains and rivers to carry things.
Qianyuan took the meaning of the way of heaven, and the country of Zuo lasted for more than 400 years.
At the southernmost point of the Daqian Dynasty, there was a small town called Zhuxian Town.
Five thousand years ago, the golden-winged roc bird chased the red-bearded dragon and stopped here. The mountain was stained red with blood. The young Taoist said that it was so wonderful that it was beyond words.
I never expected to suddenly bump into Shen Gongbao, a tough guy, with the attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the truth.
The mysterious and mysterious atmosphere was immediately destroyed, the fun of listening to the book was lost, and the feeling of elation was lost.
Many listeners come to their senses and after careful consideration, they will find many contradictions.
Someone joked: "Taoist Master Lu, the book says that dragons fight in the wild and their blood is black and yellow. Why is this red mountain red!"
"That's right, that's right."
In the streets and alleys, men appeared one after another at unknown times, gloating about the misfortune and adding insult to injury: "How come this blood has been splashed for three thousand miles? My Great Qian Dynasty was only six thousand miles away, and half of the ground was left with blood."
The women in Firework Alley came to listen to the book and read the Taoist priest. Naturally, these vigorous men hid in the dark to watch the women.
I don’t know who decorated whose scenery, and I don’t know who fell into whose dream.
However, this does not prevent the men in the small town from working together and sharing the same hatred to add insult to injury to the pretty-faced Taoist priest.
"Wrong, wrong."
I saw that the young Taoist was calm, shook his head and said: "This has been the case in articles since ancient times. The more mysterious it is, the more it has feelings and can use its imagination."
"If you really want to put out a bunch of boring words, talk about how many feet and centimeters the red mountain is, see how the terrain is achieved, and study how many centimeters and centimeters the soil has, wouldn't you be inferior?"
The man in the small town was suddenly at a loss for words. Poems and compositions have been written since ancient times, and they all pay attention to gorgeous words and majestic weather. They are suspicious, nine thousand miles, and nineteen states. Qinglian layman's poems have long been copied and rotten.
If there is too much fussing over things in a poetry club, it will attract ridicule from others. This is probably the rule of thumb for writing, just come up with a vague concept and confuse the readers.
If you really want to write in detail, readers will complain that it is boring, the word count is too low, and the manuscript fee is cheated.
If the author of a biography can really write it clearly and logically, with every detail being reasonable and every detail as if he saw a devil, then he would not need to wander around in the world, but go directly to the temple to plot the world for the king and worship the prime minister and make him a marquis.
Everyone hesitated, but only the thin, dark boy whispered: "That's not right..."
The voice is extremely low and the sound is very small, it can be called as thin as a mosquito.
However, it attracted the young Taoist to look sideways, and even Shen Gongbao also looked over with interest.
"What's wrong?" The young Taoist said with a smile: "Say it."
Chen Changsheng immediately blushed. Something was wrong. Of course, the numbers were wrong.
The world is ignorant. Except for the accountants in the world and the household ministers in the temples, most people are dull about numbers.
However, Chen Changsheng had to prepare and prepare medicine for his grandmother since he was a child, and he was extremely sensitive to numbers.
The medicine is divided into three parts: poisonous. Doctor Wu in the town divided the medicine into three categories: major poison, common poison, minor poison, and non-poison. To treat diseases, it is necessary to treat diseases with large poisons and eliminate six out of ten; to treat diseases with common poisons, eliminate seven out of ten; to treat diseases with minor poisons, eliminate eight out of ten; to treat diseases without poisons, eliminate nine out of ten.
The major poisons include tripterygium wilfordii, which specializes in treating rheumatism, the poisonous medicine, bitter chair, which repels roundworms, and the poisonous medicine, centipede, which calms wind and relieves spasms.
In the view of doctors, everything in the world can be used as medicine, but what needs to be grasped is a sense of proportion.
Some medicines are used well. Fighting poison with poison is a life-saving method. If you use less, it will have no effect at all, and you will just drink a belly of useless bitter water. Once you use more, it will be even more deadly, and it will be a complete poison.
Licorice has mild medicinal properties. It can harmonize various medicines and has the effect of strengthening the stomach. It has the effects of tonifying Qi, purging fire and detoxifying, alleviating the medicinal properties, and relieving anxiety. However, if you take it for a long time without any reason, it can affect the spleen and stomach qi and hinder your digestive function;
Even so when taking medicine, one needs to be meticulous and not make any mistakes, let alone other figures.
If the prescription is wrong, at most one person will be killed. If the government figures are wrong, I don’t know how many people will be killed.
This is what Chen Changsheng realized from the prescription.
But, can we say this truth? !
Chen Changsheng fell into silence as he looked at the smiling Taoist, the disapproving scholars, and the women who were quite fond of the young Taoist.
Say it, no matter what, it will only make people disgusted.
Taoists will blame him for coming to cause trouble, and the women in Firework Alley will be in love with each other, which will bring disaster to the fish in the pond. Business in Firework Alley will not be possible these days.
Some scholars will be disgusted that he broke the beauty in their hearts, and of course some will just ignore Chen Changsheng.
A true dragon does not talk to an ant. No matter how reasonable Chen Changsheng's words are, he is just a pariah without a father or mother.
Speech does not depend on whether it makes sense, but on the softness of words.
"No……"
Chen Changsheng shook his head and prepared to leave with the firewood on the ground, taking advantage of the time to sell two more loads of firewood.
"Then are you wrong?" The young Taoist still had a smile on his face. He walked up to the boy and looked into Chen Changsheng's clear eyes. His eyes were darkened, deep and simple, as if he could see through people's hearts.
Chen Changsheng's heart trembled and he hesitated to speak, but a series of voices came from his ears.
"You stinky woodcutter, get out of here!"
"Don't delay our listening to books."
"Untouchable."
"Another ignorant ant."
"This guy is a bit interesting."
"Xiao Changsheng, please apologize and admit your mistake quickly."
"Let's go quickly. Sister, you can buy these few kilograms of firewood."
…
Ruoyouruowu's voice hovered in the lake of his heart, like bricks pressing down, trying to bend the young man's spine and make the thin figure bow his head.
"am I wrong?!"
Chen Changsheng felt like he couldn't breathe. The bright sun was hanging in the blue sky, and the shadows of the onlookers around him were getting longer and longer, converging into one, like a black curtain, covering the young man.
As long as he admits his mistake, he can escape and leave this embarrassing place.
"I'm wrong……"
Chen Changsheng gritted his teeth and lowered his head heavily, not wanting others to see his red eyes.
"you are right."
Shen Gongbao walked up to Xu Laodao's pleading and walked behind Chen Changsheng. With a slight push, the young man's waist that should have been bent straightened up immediately, as if some kind of power had been injected into him.
"That's right." One thought in Chen Changsheng's mind overwhelmed the other, and he said loudly: "I'm right!"
Everyone was slightly stunned, never expecting that such a poor disciple with a voice as loud as a bell could refute so loudly.
Who gave him the strength, who gave him the confidence.
Chen Changsheng turned around and looked around, and then said in surprise: "Daoist Master Xu, you are back."
"You are right." Shen Gongbao nodded, looked at the young man's clear eyes, smiled slightly and said: "If you are wrong, you are wrong, if you are right, you are right."
"You can take steps with faltering steps, but your heart should be immeasurable. No matter what happens to you in the future, I hope you will remember one sentence."
"There is no black and white in the world, only black and white in people's hearts."
"Pindao feels that even if our practice cannot change the world, we should not be changed by the world."
"What does this fellow Taoist think?"
The young Taoist laughed and said: "It makes sense, it makes sense."
Shen Gongbao then looked at Chen Changsheng and motioned for him to speak.
Chen Changsheng nodded solemnly, looked at the young Taoist and said: "I think the numbers cannot be wrong, just like a person can eat one bowl of rice, but after eating two or three bowls of rice, he will be exhausted, and after eating seven or eight bowls, he will be exhausted. "
The young Taoist had a serious look on his face, as if he had listened to the teachings of the sage. The Buddha drank the stick and touched his palms and said: "Yes, yes, it does make sense."
"It's nothing to do with poor people."
"ha……"
The people who were about to watch the show were stunned. Why didn't this Taoist priest play his cards according to the routine?
"Um?!"
Chen Changsheng was also a little confused and couldn't understand what the young Taoist meant.
"The scholar's problem, the scholar's right and wrong, the strange skills and the right path, let the Confucian saints and gentlemen struggle with the number problem."
The young Taoist laughed, as if he was laughing at something, and spread his hands and said: "It doesn't matter to me as a Taoist priest, and I don't need to worry about it."
"Children and grandchildren will bring blessings to them. I will enjoy the blessings without children and grandchildren."
"Namo Amitabha, that's good, that's good. The Buddha must agree with what I say."
Shen Gongbao clicked his tongue and said: "It seems that the Taoist Master has no disciples and no worries."
The young Taoist was suddenly filled with righteous indignation and said: "There was one originally, but I don't know which bastard got him killed."
"Fellow Taoist, tell me whether this bastard is bad or not."
"There are times in your life that you must have, but there are times in your life that you must not force." Shen Gongbao shook his head and walked outside with Chen Changsheng.
However, the young Taoist followed him shamelessly, ignoring the pleas of the girls in Firework Alley. He looked around Shen Gongbao, then looked again, and asked, puzzled, "What is the name of this fellow Taoist?"
"Easy to say, easy to say." Shen Gongbao said with a full smile, "I'm Xu Taiding."
"Real name?" The young Taoist raised his eyebrows.
Chen Changsheng spoke up and testified: "That was the name I had when I was a child, Taoist Master Xu. Do you have anything to do with us, Taoist Master Lu Zhe?"
The handsome young Taoist Lu Zhe chuckled: "Boy, have you forgotten that I still owe you a fortune telling."
Chen Changsheng was suddenly startled, and asked nervously: "Daoist Master Lu, you are not the legendary Jindan Master who plays games with the human world, the Nascent Soul Master, are you?"
"What are you thinking about?" Taoist Lu Zhe said with a look of helplessness: "A poor Taoist does not have as powerful a Taoism as Zhenren and Zhenjun."
"I just know a little bit about fortune telling. Instead of guessing that this poor Taoist is an expert, it's better to guess that this Taoist Master Xu may be a Jindan Zhenren, an old god who plays games in the world of mortals."
"Immortal?" A passing town resident sneered, pointed at Shen Gongbao and said, "Just Xu Laodao and Xu Taiding, I have never seen an immortal fainting at the door from hunger on New Year's Eve."
Taoist Lu Zhe shook his head and said: "If a real person doesn't show his appearance, if he shows his appearance, he is not a real person."
Chen Changsheng took a deep breath and said, "Daoist Lu, Daoist Xu really doesn't know how to control the situation. Please come back."
Taoist Lu Zha kept shaking his head.
"Pindao is just a poor Taoist priest. He wants money but no money, and he wants people but no one." Shen Gongbao said with a sigh on his face: "On the other hand, Taoist Master Lu is enigmatic. I don't know who he is?"
Taoist Lu Zhe bowed, laughed and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I am a wild traveler in the mountains, and there is an old house on the south side of the stone bridge."
"Is there an old house on the south side of the stone bridge?" Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "It's the stone bridge where the Shocking Dragon Sword hangs, on the other side of Shuize Road."
Taoist Lu Zhe smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Exactly, exactly. Speaking of which, Pindao spent some time in Zhuxian Town in his early years, and now he is revisiting his old place."
"Actually, we are fellow villagers."
Chen Changsheng suddenly understood, and then smiled and spoke in the Zhuxian Town dialect.
Taoist Lu Zhe looked confused and couldn't help asking: "What are you talking about?"
Chen Changsheng said shyly: "It's just a blessing from a small town."
When Shen Gongbao saw this, he shook his head and smiled. Taoist Lu Zhe didn't understand it, but he did. It was a slang term used by people in a small town to curse people. Even locals would not understand it at all.
This guy is not stupid.
At this time, Xu Taiding's voice sounded in Shen Gongbao's ears.
"Master, Xiaodao, I have never seen this Taoist Lu Zha before my death."
If Chen Changsheng didn't know Taoist Lu Zhe, it would make sense. After all, Chen Changsheng was only sixteen years old. Taoist Lu Zhe could fool him by saying that he came here sixteen years ago.
However, Taoist Xu Taiding has lived in Zhuxian Town for seventy or eighty years. If he doesn't know Taoist Lu Zhe.
How many years ago did this guy come here?
"One hundred years? Five hundred years...or five thousand years ago?"
"The golden-winged roc kills the red-bearded dragon."
Shen Gongbao suddenly laughed, looking at the winding road in the town, like a water snake, with several lines branching along the main trunk, namely Fulu Lane, Fireworks Lane, Houde Lane, Luoye Lane, and a Tianxiang Street.
As the name suggests, Fulu Lane is home to high-ranking officials and squires.
In Houde Lane, most of the families are well-off, and there are even many scholars from poor families.
Chen Changsheng lives in Luoye Lane, in a dilapidated and clean small courtyard house.
After exiting the alley and heading towards the end of Tianxiang Street, there is a river with a stone bridge on the river.
In other words, it is where the old site mentioned by Taoist Lu Zhe is.
After watching Chen Changsheng return home, the two Taoists walked along the water bridge and chatted with each other.
Taoist Lu Zhe climbed up and looked far into the distance, looked at the red mountain, and suddenly smiled and said: "Everything is alive when a whale falls, let alone a real dragon."
"In the past five thousand years, Zhuxian Town has produced countless dignitaries and immortal seeds."
"Like leeks, they are cut one after another."
"If you Taoist friends don't choose Taoism, how can you fall in love with a poor boy with bad qualifications, no luck, and no good luck?"
Shen Gongbao smiled calmly: "This is called Zhuxian Town, not Zhenlong Town."
