Shu Guan walked on the mountain road, heading towards the tidal flat at the foot of Guishan Mountain.
Of course, it is no longer a tidal flat. Looking from a distance from the mountain, we can see rows of newly built mud-tile houses standing on the riverside, and the original reeds have long since disappeared.
When he walked out of the dust formation, Shu Guan glanced down the mountain, with a joyful smile on his face, and then walked briskly down the mountain.
Today he did not wear the gray robe, but instead wore a thin jacket. He looked no different from the pilgrims coming and going on the mountain road.
Taiyi Pavilion on Guishengshan Mountain has always been popular, but today there are many times more pilgrims than in the past.
Because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The mountain path was crowded with pilgrims who came to burn incense and pray for blessings, so Shuguan's steps soon became restless. It took half an hour to squeeze down the mountain path.
It's a credit to his strength. Because on the way he met several pilgrims who went up the mountain earlier, but when they came down the mountain, they were pushed back to the top of the mountain by the crowd in tears.
If he had known that he would come out, he would have asked the fifth senior brother for an invisibility charm so that he could step on the rocks beside the mountain path and go down the mountain directly.
A few days ago, he was finally able to move ten small Zhoutians at once, so he went to Daozang Pavilion to learn some Taoist skills from Master Qi.
One of them is called Wall Walking, which allows people to walk on vertical walls after mastering it.
At the beginning, Shu Guan felt that if he learned this Taoist skill, it would be quite good to perform magic. As for normal times, it would be a bit useless. After all, who has nothing to do and walks up to the wall? Mainly because he had no choice at the time. Just practice first.
But now Shu Guan feels that this Taoist technique is quite practical.
By the time we got to the bottom of the mountain, it was already dusk.
This morning, I followed the master to refine corpses in the Treasure Pavilion. In the afternoon, I hurriedly told the master that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I thought of gathering with the Taoyuan villagers at the foot of the mountain, and then came out of the temple.
The sun sets in the west, the river rolls, the golden waves surge, and the majestic city standing on the riverside is peaceful and noisy at the moment.
Shu Guan strode towards the newly built houses by the river.
While walking, I chatted with Xiaoyi in my mind.
"Did you chat with your needle uncle again today?"
"yes."
"What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing. It's just that Uncle Zhen said that he was locked in the room every day and was very depressed. If there weren't so many restrictions on the door, he would like to go out more. Uncle Zhen is really pitiful."
"If he is really allowed to go out and wander around casually, the pity will be on other people, such as those pilgrims on the mountain today, and not one of them will be left alive."
Shu Guan now knew that the Uncle Needle mentioned by Xiao Yi was the long silver-white needle that kept flying around in the room where Han Biao was lying, giving people a feeling of boredom and loneliness.
He also already knew that the name of the needle was Bingso Hanguang Needle, one of the four great treasures of Shanjingguan.
I also know that the four rooms on the third floor of the Treasure Pavilion were originally used to store the four major treasures of the temple.
However, five hundred years ago, the Qingxin Bell, one of the four great treasures of the watch, was taken away by the possessed Qixia Zhenren. Therefore, in the past five hundred years, Shanjiguan has only three great treasures of the watch.
However, Qingxinling was found by Li Zhixia in that valley a few months ago and brought back Shanjingguan.
It is a pity that the original treasure of the town, Lieyang Pearl, was left in the valley by Li Zhixia.
Therefore, the current view of goodness still only has three major treasures.
Regardless of whether it was the top four or the current top three, the Ice Soul Cold Light Needle was always ranked second.
After Xiaoyi came out of the Treasure Pavilion that day, she told Shuguan that there was a person hidden in the ice soul and cold light needle.
Is there a person hidden inside the needle?
At the beginning, Xiaoyi's words made Shuguan confused for a long time.
But later he came to his senses, and what Xiaoyi was talking about might be the kind of "weapon spirit" that the fifth senior brother had mentioned before, which was the yellow moon-like existence in the celadon moon bottle last time.
As for the weapon spirit, An Zichun later explained to him that when a magic weapon reaches a certain level, it will develop its own spiritual intelligence, turning the magic weapon into a being with "alive" characteristics.
However, this kind of spiritual intelligence is basically a kind of ignorant consciousness, and the level of intelligence may not be comparable to that of a one or two year old child.
Only some legendary immortal treasures have weapon spirits that are not inferior to ordinary people's intelligence.
That’s why the celadon moon bottle looked so strange at first. It looked like it was just a piece of low-grade product, but it could create a small space of its own within the body, and it also gave birth to a person with an intellectual level as high as the yellow moon. A weapon spirit that is higher than the level of Immortal Treasure.
The problem was that the weapon spirit was extremely weak and was burned to death by An Zichun's two fire talismans.
So An Zichun was puzzled at that time, and after he brought it back to Li Zhixia to see it, Li Zhixia was also puzzled.
It's a pity that the yellow moon is dead, and there is no way to know how it produced intelligence.
As for the celadon moon bottle, it is now placed on the shelf on the first floor of the Treasure Pavilion. The spirit of the device is dead. It is just an ordinary magic weapon, and it has been damaged. If it weren't for the strangeness of this thing, it might not be there. Will be put into the Treasure Pavilion.
As for Shan Guan's three major contemplative treasures, they are all "living" magic weapons. However, according to what An Zichun told him at the beginning, the spiritual wisdom of these three contemplative magic weapons is just a bit of ignorant knowledge. Not even as good as a child.
But how could Xiaoyi be so familiar with the weapon spirit in the Ice Soul Cold Light Needle? From what she said, the intelligence gained by the weapon spirit was no different from that of ordinary people.
Shu Guan was also puzzled about this matter.
Chatting with Xiaoyi, he unknowingly walked to the new houses on the riverside.
There was a short, stocky young man standing at the intersection. When he saw Shu Guan's figure appearing, he immediately strode towards him.
"I was sure you would come back today, so I came out early to wait for you."
Wang Dahu laughed and gave Shu Guan a hug.
Shu Guan also took a closer look at Wang Dahu, whom he had not seen for more than three months, and found that this guy had actually grown a beard and looked much more mature and steady. When he was striding towards him just now, there was a moment when he , Shu Guan seemed to see the shadow of Wang Erniu.
"Your sister-in-law and Yadan have already cooked dinner and are waiting for you to come back. Let's go home first."
"good."
The two of them walked towards the rows of houses.
Although they are all simple bungalows, the materials used are quite simple, just made of wood and bricks, but they are quite spacious and bright. Each row of houses is separated by a road five or six meters wide, and there are drainage ditches dug on the roadside. To make the house neat and clean, Shu Guan made a plan before the construction of the house started, and specially drew simple drawings for Wang Dahu to follow to build the house.
Although he is not an architectural designer, there is no problem with this simple plan.
And this residential area, which is very similar to the new rural style of the previous life, is the new Taoyuan Village.
As we walked along, the tempting aroma of dinner could be heard from every door. The villagers we met on the road greeted Shu Guan with a smile.
"Mazi, you're back!"
"That's right, Uncle Dabao, I'll come see you for a drink later."
"Sister-in-law Osmanthus, you look young again."
"Thanks to you, Mazi, I eat and drink well here every day, and my life is more comfortable than in the original village."
…
Soon after, Wang Dahu brought Shu Guan to the end of a row of houses here, pointed to the first house and said:
"That's for you."
Then he pointed to another house next door.
"This belongs to Yadan."
Shu glanced at him.
Wang Dahu gave him a knowing look, smiled, pointed to the third house and said:
"This is my house. Come on, let's go in. Yadan is also having dinner at my house today."
When he entered, Shu Guan saw a chicken coop at the door with a hen in it. In fact, as he walked all the way just now, the aroma of stewed chicken and duck wafted out from every house.
Now Shu Guan has a rough understanding of the prices of this era and the living standards of most people in this era.
To be honest, even those middle-class families in Jingcheng cannot often afford chicken and duck. For the lower-class families, eating chicken is a very sacred thing.
“Where did these chickens and ducks come from?”
Then Shu Guan asked Wang Dahu this question.
"Taoist Master Chen of Taiyi Temple sent someone to deliver yesterday. In addition to the usual oil, rice, noodles and vinegar, every household also sent some extra chicken, duck, fish and meat. He said it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that everyone could have a good time, but..."
Wang Dahu paused, then with a questioning look in his eyes, he whispered to Shu Guan:
"But the Taoist priest who came to deliver the things also said that this is the last batch of things from Taiyiguan, and they will no longer send them away in the future."
Shu Guan was silent for a moment.
Yes, it was promised that Taiyiguan would support the Taoyuan villagers for three months before they really settled down, but now it has actually been three months earlier.
It is true that Taiyiguan is very rich, and the real owner of Taiyiguan's assets is actually Shan Jiguan, but it does not mean that Shuguan can always use the money in the temple to support the Taoyuan villagers.
Maybe even if I raise him for a while, the senior brothers won't have any objections.
But just because others don't have an opinion, doesn't mean you can sit like this.
In fact, Guanli has been very kind and righteous in helping him raise the Taoyuan villagers for so long.
I can't support you for the rest of your life.
Even Shu Guan himself was not prepared to support Taoyuan people for the rest of his life.
When they left Taoyuan Village, there were 706 people in total. Three months later, the current population has increased to 721.
Three months later, a dozen babies were born.
In the future, this number will increase and become one thousand or two thousand people.
They must learn to survive and live on their own.
"Tomorrow, I will take you to the pier."
Shu Guan thought for a while and said this to Wang Dahu.
