Master Swordsman [Cultivation]
Chapter 22 Asking about the Western Regions
Qian Tingzhi is the richest man in Fujin Town.A local gentry has to have a good-sounding name, so those who are long and short are called out by this title.But the most famous thing about this man is not that he is rich, but that he is not only rich, but also has a very beautiful wife and gave birth to a very beautiful daughter.
Originally, he was rich and powerful, his wife and daughter were fulfilled, and his daughter was in her [-]th year, so she could choose a husband and wife to marry. It can be said that Qian Tingzhi's life is a beautiful story.However, there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, which is an ancient truth after all.Just the night before Miss Qian's sixteenth birthday, she fell ill.
This disease lasted for more than two years.Bedridden and losing weight day by day.He was groggy all day long and said strange things all the time.
Qian Tingzhi and Mrs. Qian searched for doctors from all over the country, and after taking the pulse, they all said that the person was not sick, and the pulse was strong.But if he is strong, why can't he get out of bed.Qian Yuan was so worried that his hair almost fell out.When people are desperate, there is only one way to choose, which is to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Since then, Mrs. Qian has become a person who worships Buddha.
But Miss Qian is not doing well.
Qian Tingzhi thought of his daughter, who was as beautiful as a flower and a jade, as a ghost, and felt sad, and wiped his eyes: "I have never done anything wrong in my life, and I have never treated others harshly. Why should I be punished like this? It doesn't matter if I am punished." , choose her."
If ordinary people saw his sad appearance, they would probably be infected and burst into tears.
However, the person sitting across from him was not a normal person.
A heartless monster.
A heartless and ruthless swordsman.
The two listened to Qian Tingzhi's story with a blank expression, and drank a pot of tea at the same time.
It's not that Danyang is cold, he has lived for 180 years, the first 16 years, he traveled with Xiaoyaozi.I have also been to the south of the Yangtze River, sitting alone in a teahouse and listening to ditties, and I have even been to Mobei, watching the loneliness of the lonely smoke in the desert.He has seen a lot of difficult things in the world.Those like Qian Yuanwai are considered good, at least their family is well-off.
"You say you are pitiful." Dan Yang put down his teacup, "But have you ever seen a beggar crouched in a corner, holding a baby born to someone who doesn't know who, in the wind and rain, can only live by picking up the steamed buns thrown by others. She has no milk, the baby is dirty and hungry, and is dying. The passers-by have not offered a helping hand."
Danyang said, "Do you think this is pitiful?"
Qian Tingzhi was stunned.His tears were still on his face.
Danyang added: "The little girl who sings in the teahouse raises one or two renminbi of silver every day to support the family. She is bullied by bullies, but she doesn't have the person she loves who stands up bravely to save her in the storybook. Do you think she is pitiful?" ?”
"There is only one or two pieces of land, the house is leaking, and the gray-haired farmer is still bending over to dig the soil. He has worked hard all his life to feed himself. He is also urged to pay the rent. You say he is not pitiful."
"There are so many pitiful things in the world. How do you feel that you are particularly miserable?"
Not to mention Qian Yuanwai who was said to be sitting there dumbfounded, even Ji Ke couldn't help watching Danyang over and over again.He had never heard Dan Yang say so much in a long string.At most, they thought that the other party would get annoyed and kicked them out.
But maybe it wasn't until now that Ji Ke discovered that Danyang was really Xiaoyaozi's apprentice, the chief disciple of Jianmen.No matter what his starting point is or what his purpose is, he himself belongs to the common people.
Although Dan Yang has no expression on his face, his eyes are very clear.Qian Yuanwai met Shang Jianxiu's eyes, and suddenly felt ashamed to look directly at him.In it, he saw his glamorous appearance, and the poor man who was down and out in the distance.
"But, but I... my daughter is innocent." Qian Tingzhi muttered, thinking of her daughter, shed tears again, "Even though I am rich, I have worked hard with my own hands. When it comes to loving my daughter, I am different from other people. , what's the difference?"
All people in the world are equal.
Danyang was startled, and suddenly understood this truth.He looked at Qian Tingzhi thoughtfully. At this moment, this man is not a businessman, not a rich man, but just a father.Take off the glamorous appearance, take off the tattered clothes.When the human side is revealed, it is indeed black or white, and it should not be infected with secular prejudice.
Yes, he almost realized the slant front.
"You're right. You really shouldn't judge a book by its cover."
Danyang was talking to himself, and while speaking, he glanced at Ji Ke.
Ji Ke, who was sitting upright and doing nothing: "?" Look at what he's doing, it's none of his business!
That's a good thing to say.
"But we don't have time."
Danyang said frankly.
Qian Tingzhi almost fell to the ground.He also thought that the other party had been persuaded by him and planned to leave with him.Who knew that after Danyang pondered, he would throw out such a sentence.Ten moved but refused, it was him who was talking about it.
Qian Tingzhi was in a hurry: "Master."
"I said it's not the Taoist priest."
But you are obviously dressed like a Taoist priest who is pure and ascetic on the mountain!But at this moment, Qian Yuanwai didn't care about whether he and Danyang could be regarded as Taoist priests, so he asked anxiously: "Isn't it free for a night? Is it not free for a while? Where are you going?"
Danyang said: "If there are really evil spirits haunting us, how can it be resolved in a short time. We will set off for the Western Regions Haiyuan at the fifth watch at most. There will be no delay for half a quarter of an hour."
He has always said what he said, he is very straightforward, and he doesn't think there is anything to hide in this kind of place - anyway, it is not a place where ordinary people can go.
Sure enough, Qian Tingzhi's hair stood on end when he heard this, and he was very excited: "Are you going to the Western Region Haiyuan?"
Danyang said: "Not bad."
Ji Ke remained calm, thinking to himself, so what, although ordinary people seldom visit there, it is not so strange that it makes people jump up.What's more, looking at Qian Tingzhi's expression, it's more exciting than fearful.Why, could it be that Haiyuan in the Western Regions has some connection with him?
Thinking of this level, Ji Ke suddenly became interested.
He is a land gentry, what can he have to do with this kind of place.
As expected by Ji Ke, Qian Tingzhi's agitation had other reasons.
"There are many undercurrents there. It is rumored that there are evil dragons under the water. Even the fishermen can't go into the water. What are you doing there?" Qian Tingzhi asked quickly. After asking, he felt that he was talking too much, and quickly explained, " It's not that I want to inquire about the whereabouts of the two of you, but if it comes to the abyss of the Western Regions, I can still know something, so I don't know if I can help."
Danyang and Ji Ke looked at each other.Then Ji Ke knocked on the table: "What do you know? Tell me."
Qian Tingzhi said: "It's not a big deal. It's just that the ancestors moved there."
Ji Keqi said, "Can people still live there?"
Qian Tingzhi hummed and said slowly.
200 years ago, there was still a piece of land with good water and soil near the Western Regions, and some fishing villages lived by fishing and catching mussels in the sea.At that time, the sea abyss was not as chaotic as it is now, the water flow was stable, and there was a stable flood season.If you are lucky, the clams caught from them can produce very shiny pearls, which can be exchanged for a lot of money.
It's just that the good times don't last long. I don't know when a black dragon drilled there, occupying the waters as the king, usually hiding underwater, and when the fishermen enter the water, it suddenly jumps up, swallows people, or overturns the boat.Over time, no one went to sea.
Ji Ke couldn't help snorting: "Black Dragon? At this time, shouldn't those monks stand up and eliminate harm for the people?"
Qian Tingzhi said: "Your Excellency are talking about those immortals with unique skills."
"There have been. But for some reason, when they get there, their treasures don't work. In the end, they can only lose."
Danyang pondered: "I have indeed heard such rumors." That's why the name of Haiyuan in the Western Regions spread farther and farther, and finally became a barren sea where no one passed.But in earlier rumors, it used to be the habitat of the Dragon King of the West Sea. Later, the fairyland was all moved away, and there was no Dragon King in the world.There are several Jiaolongs.
Ji Ke touched his chin: "A monk who can use luminous treasures should not be in the foundation building period."
Their cultivation methods in the demon world are different from those in the mainland, they only focus on strength, not on stages.But Ji Ke knows that on the mainland, monks are divided into six types: Condensing Qi, Building Foundation, Forming Alchemy, Mahayana, Breaking Alchemy, and Transforming God.All schools in the world are nothing more than three, understanding the meaning of the sword, or refining alchemy, or practicing spells, and spells are divided into different attributes.When ordinary monks reach the gas condensation period, they choose the appropriate path according to their own conditions.At present, the three masters of Jianzong, Danzong, and Fazong are no more than Mahayana.
And those who can reach the level of Podan are probably some people from Little Penglai.When he transforms into a god, he is no different from a Sanxian, and can live the same life as the heaven and the earth.Haven't heard of it yet.
Only the monks in the foundation building period, who are not strong enough and like to study their calendars outside, will carry many magical treasures with them to help them.
Danyang said: "Why do you have to talk about your ancestors?"
Qian Tingzhi said: "Ah, I was about to talk about this."
The Western Regions could not stay any longer, so Qian Tingzhi's ancestors moved inland and started their business with the pearls he had accumulated in the sea for many years, in exchange for the first sum of money.Later, starting a business went smoothly, and gradually accumulated wealth and continued fame.
Catch clams in the sea...
Ji Ke was thoughtful, and for some reason, suddenly wanted to ask: "Since the family is so familiar with the seas of the Western Regions. I don't know if you have heard of the Jade Emperor Shell."
He just asked without hesitation, Danyang just glanced at him, but he didn't stop him.
Qian Ting was stunned, he looked at the fierce looking young man, and at the monk who looked like Taihua Mountain Snow, and said with some uncertainty: "I heard it before. But this thing seems to be worthless, right? "
Ji Ke asked: "Why did you say that?"
Qian Yuanwai hesitated for a long time and said, "I have it at home."
Originally, he was rich and powerful, his wife and daughter were fulfilled, and his daughter was in her [-]th year, so she could choose a husband and wife to marry. It can be said that Qian Tingzhi's life is a beautiful story.However, there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, which is an ancient truth after all.Just the night before Miss Qian's sixteenth birthday, she fell ill.
