Epilogue 1: The Moon-Hiding Stall (Part 1)

Biyuetan is a place name. It is not the beach of Biyue Lake, but a street stall located in the city wall of Biyue Town.

There is a city wall in Biyue Town. The city wall is hollow, like a box-shaped building that is twenty kilometers long. There are three floors inside. The windows on each floor face the direction of the city. Every five hundred meters, there are windows. Up and down stairwells and restrooms.

From the outside of the city, it looks like a circle of Eastern classical city walls, but inside it is a three-story pedestrian street and free market.

There are regulations in Yangyuan Valley that stalls are not allowed on the top of the city wall. All stalls are inside the city wall and are numbered. The reservation status of each stall can be found on the special website.

The pedestrian street inside the wall has a net width of six meters. The three-meter width on the side against the outer wall is the stall area, and the three-meter width on the side against the inner wall is the pedestrian walkway.

The dimensions of each stall are three meters by five meters. Each person can only apply for one stall at a time. Each reservation must be used for no more than three days. If you want to continue setting up a stall, you must make a new reservation, which fully reflects the characteristics of a free market.

What if one stall is not enough? You can find several more partners to apply for adjacent stalls at the same time.

For example, if someone wants to sell snacks, he can find two more people to apply for three stalls, fry pot stickers and spicy soup in the middle stall, and set up tables and chairs in the stalls on both sides.

Twenty kilometers long, the inner three-layer city wall is equivalent to a total length of 60 kilometers of pedestrian streets. There are more than 10,000 stalls in total, with an average of one to two thousand stalls opening every day.

Eighty percent of the stalls are usually vacant. When applying for a reservation, stall holders can choose the seat they like, a bit like choosing a seat in a movie theater.

This is a huge free market, the busiest pedestrian street in the spiritual world. As long as you are a Yangyuan Master registered with the International Association, you can enter with a certificate.

A first-level Yuan Yuan master can go shopping and buy things, but if you want to set up a stall, you must be at least a fourth-level Yuan Yuan master.

The simplest stall can be a small mat with a furoshiki spread in front of it. You need to bring your own tables, chairs and other items for the stall, or you can rent them temporarily from the official market service center.

The things sold at the stalls do not necessarily have to be natural treasures, magical weapons and elixirs. If anyone feels that his wontons are well made, he can choose to sell wontons.

Li Xiaoyang, the designer of the market, originally planned not to charge stall fees and management fees, but later decided to charge a nominal fee to facilitate the registration and management of stall use and the identification of stall holders.

The stall fee is very cheap, one hundred yuan per day for a single stall, and there is no transaction tax. The goods sold here can be paid in cash, or you can ask for barter, or even exchange them on other terms.

Yangyuan Valley only stipulates that no forced buying or selling is allowed, and no false or deceptive practices are allowed.

Since the appearance of the Moon-covering Stall, it has become the only trade fair in the spiritual world since ancient times.

In fact, at the Zhengyi Sanshan Association's bonding meeting, each sect will also "set up stalls" to communicate with other sects. However, at the Zhengyi Sanshan Association once every 60 years, the moon-covering stalls are open 24 hours a day. .

People who come here to set up stalls and go shopping are not only the students and disciples of Yangyuan Valley, but also monks from all over the world. You can find all kinds of strange and weird things here, which you have never seen before or even thought of.

In fact, after the completion of the city wall in Biyue Town, it was first used as a dormitory by the Dongguo-aided construction team. The local climate is not cold, and the internal area of ​​the city wall is large, making it very comfortable to live in, and various functional facilities can be arranged.

The construction team could take a bus from here to the construction sites in Fengjie Town and Zhongyuan City in the north. It was not until Zhongyuan City was built that the city wall was freed up to build the moon-covering stall.

By the time Huanxiang Kingdom was established ten years ago, the daily scene here was like the city described in many fairy novels.

The term of the president of Huan Xiangguo was not five years but ten years, and he could be re-elected. However, Feng Zibin only served as president for half a year.

Feng Zibin took office on June 11, 2032, and ceased to hold the position of president by the end of the year. Starting from January 1, 2033, the new president of Huan Xiangguo was replaced by Wang Fengshou, and the term of office was also recalculated.

Wang Fengshou's first term has not yet ended, but Charles's fourth term in the Kingdom has just ended. Charles served as the president of the Kingdom for twenty years and finally resigned in the first half of this year.

Xia, who is no longer the president, is still very young. Now he is only forty-two years old. He has also served as the president of Mowang University. It is said that President Xia also came to the moon-shading stall to set up a stall and signed books and sold books on the spot.

Why is it said? Because Principal Xia did not issue an announcement in advance, but someone found Mr. Xia sitting there at a secluded location in the southwest corner of the city wall, setting up a stall and signing books.

The Yangyuan Valley's dedicated website does not disclose information about who is at what time, at what stall, or what is being sold, and stall operators are advised not to disclose it to the outside world. This kind of thing is all about opportunity.

There are many rumors about the moon-covering stall. It is said that the elders of the Zhengyi Sect have set up a stall here to sell dates, and the leader of the Kunlun League has also set up a stall to sell vegetables here... Some people even bought a box of Chunrong for 200 yuan.

Dan.

The rumors are true, because the box of Spring Beauty Pills was sold by Huazhen. In fact, Huazhen has sold more than one box, with prices ranging from 10 yuan to 2.5 million.

Huazhenxing would sometimes come to set up stalls, often with Manman. The stalls often contained bamboo magpies, trinkets such as light beads, and consumables such as gold thread bamboo strips.

After a disciple in Yangyuan Valley breaks through the four realms, the instructor will take him to select a golden thread bamboo, a spiritual plant in the valley, and take it back to process the bamboo magpie. This is a basic task for the disciples in the valley.

Some disciples still have materials left over after making the bamboo magpie, and many disciples have spent all the materials but still haven't made it. What should I do if it doesn't work? Either ask for help from fellow disciples who have the remaining materials, or go to the moon-covering stall to find a suitable one.

s material.

There are also disciples who, despite using materials distributed by the sect, made bamboo magpies, but were not satisfied with the results. Or after reaching a higher level of weapon refining and wanting to find materials to make better bamboo magpies, they can also go to the moon-covering stall.

Come and find.

Some of the stalls in the Moon-covering Stall are even regularly set up by instructors assigned by Yangyuan Valley. Not only do they sell gold-threaded bamboo, but also materials for making magnolia knives, spring water amulets and other items for sale.

As the chief instructor, Hua Zhenxing will naturally help his disciples with these little things.

Hua Zhenxing would sometimes put a box of Spring Beauty Pills on the stall. Monks from all over the world walked by the stall, but they might not be able to see it because Hua Zhenxing used the invisibility spell.

Experts who can see through this kind of magic usually won't buy this box of Spring Beauty Pills deliberately.

What about those who can't see through the spell? Who can see this box of Chunrong Pills, either Hua Zhenxing wants them to see it, or it's a coincidence under certain circumstances.

Huazhen Guild will offer different prices to different people, ranging from 10 yuan to 2.5 million, each with different reasons.

Let alone getting a box for 10 yuan, and now the price of Chunrong Dan has dropped to 2 million, why can it still be sold for 2.5 million here?

In fact, not only can 2.5 million be sold, but many people want it!

Because two million is only the supply price that dealers in various countries get. In many countries, if someone wants to get a box of Chunrong Dan, they will pay much more than this price.

Hua Zhenxing is not the only one who sells Spring Beauty Pills at the Moon-covering Stall.

For example, the sixth-level tutor welfare in Yangyuan Valley distributes a box of Spring Beauty Pills every year. If they don't need it and don't want to give it away, some people will choose to sell it at the moon-covering stall.

Therefore, many yuan masters from all over the world want to try their luck at Biyue Tan whenever they have the opportunity.

It is not easy to come across Chunrong Dan at the moon-covering stall, but there are two other popular elixirs that are often available, namely Yangyuan Dan and Chunfeng Dan.

Used together with the Yangyuan Pill and the Spring Breeze Pill, it is the best elixir to help you get started in practicing Yangyuan Technique, and there are many people who want to buy it.

Nowadays, Yang Yuan Shu has become a standard of status and fashion in the so-called upper class societies around the world. As long as people with some status have not practiced Yang Yuan Shu, they will be embarrassed to talk to others in social situations.

There was a time when, in some places, many people liked to hang a full marathon or half marathon certificate in their office, indicating that they could run a full or half marathon.

Hanging out such a certificate seems to declare that you are healthy, energetic and tenacious. The further subtext is that you are not only qualified for the current position, but also able to take on more important responsibilities.

Well, today's world's Nourishing Master Certificate comprehensively covers and exceeds the above-mentioned meanings. Many people will even open the certificate, frame it, and hang it in a conspicuous place in the office or reception room.

Not everyone can get started in cultivating the art of cultivating the essence, but many people will also claim in social situations that although they have not yet started practicing the art of cultivating the essence, they are practicing the art of cultivating the essence and have gained a lot of experience.

This also gave rise to another ancient industry, issuing false certificates.

Some people will buy a beautifully forged Nourishing Master certificate, and when necessary, pretend to be seen by others inadvertently.

But such a fake certificate cannot deceive experts. For example, it is impossible to use it to sneak into a moon-covering stall, whether setting up a stall or shopping, and it will be confiscated by the guard on the spot.

Who doesn’t want to get Zhang Zhen’s certificate? Therefore, Yangyuan Pill and Chunfeng Pill are also in short supply, and they are often out of stock and cannot be purchased.

Many people can't get into the Yueyue stall themselves, so they will ask a familiar Yangyuan master to help them keep an eye on it. If they are lucky enough to come across it, they will buy it quickly.

Although Yangyuan Technique has become popular all over the world, the proportion of people around the world who can get formal teaching is not high. Moreover, it cannot be learned and practiced blindly by oneself. It must be guided by an instructor with at least four realms of cultivation.

The country of Huanxiang has incorporated the art of Yangyuan into the compulsory education curriculum of middle schools. So which other countries in the world can do this? Currently there are only three countries, namely the country of Kilili, the country of Nilang, and the country of Tema.

Today, people finally understand what the "Yangyuan Alliance" initiated by the three heads of state was about.

Not long ago, Feng Zibin, who had not been heard from for nearly ten years, finally made a public appearance again and announced a gift. All female citizens of Huanxiang Country can receive a free box of Chunrong Pills as long as they meet the following conditions.

1. Aged twenty-five or above.

2. Already have two or more children, and the father of the children is also a citizen of Huanxiangguo.

3. There is no crime or the criminal conduct has exceeded the prescribed period of corresponding punishment.

As long as you meet the above conditions, you can apply and then participate in the lottery once a year until you win the lottery.

A lucky person may win the lottery in the first year, and will definitely win the lottery within ten years, because the probability of winning the lottery gradually increases, and the probability of winning the lottery for the tenth application has reached 100%.

So what about female citizens who do not meet the above conditions? As long as they are over 25 years old, they can also participate in the lottery. The probability of winning the lottery is different. They can only guarantee that they will win within 20 years, but they need to purchase it at their own expense and cannot be given away for free.

If someone doesn't agree with Feng Zibin's approach, you don't have to apply.

In fact, by drawing lots no more than twenty times at most, you can buy a box of Chun Yong Dan at a reasonable price, which has become the envy of other people in the world.

This is the last time Feng Zibin has appeared in public so far, and then this person seems to have disappeared from the world again just like he has in the past ten years. But until there is no updated news, he seems to have always existed like this.

It was the weekend. Yunmo got up early and took the intercity express train from Fesuogang Station to Zieyue Town Station. The ride only took about ten minutes.

There is no business hour limit for the moon-covering stall, only the application time limit for the stall. In theory, the stall can be set up from midnight on the first day of application.

In fact, there are many monks who go shopping in the middle of the night. They come from all over the world, and many of them stay in the inns in Hiyue Town.

But Yun Mo knows very well that the so-called opportunity sometimes does not lie in how early you go. At the Yiyue stall that is open 24 hours a day, there will always be someone who goes earlier than you.

She got off the car and went to the entrance closest to the express train station, and showed the sixth-level Yangyuan Technique instructor certificate to the guard. The guard's eyes were full of surprise and amazement, and even a little awe-inspiring.

The gatekeepers here are new here. They are from Wuxin Valley and live in Hiyue Town, so they don't know Yun Mo.

After Yun Mo entered the city wall, he went directly to the third floor. There were not many "tourists" in the moonlight stalls in the early morning, and there were not many stalls, and there were even fewer on the third floor.

Yun Mo was not in a hurry to buy anything, she was just strolling around. She walked about ten kilometers, from the southeast corner of the city wall to the northwest corner, and there were gradually more people coming and going around.

At this time, she suddenly stopped, bowed and saluted, and said with her spiritual consciousness: "Master, Master, you are also here."

Not far ahead there were two people standing by the window, it was Hua Zhenxing and Manman.

Manman nodded and said, "You came quite early. Are you looking for something good?"

Yun Mo: "I often come here to visit on weekends, not because I'm looking for anything, but just to open my eyes and gain insights."

Hua Zhenxing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Then come and stroll with us and see what your chances are."

Yun Mo is a direct disciple of Hua Zhenxing. He is only 22 years old this year. He has been employed at the Chunrong Dan Center for less than two years, but he has already completed the five realms of cultivation, and obtained the sixth-level cultivation master and oil fruit tree senior nursery certificate.

.

Yun Mo’s father, Yun Fusheng, was once a member of the Straw Shoe Gang. When it comes to the Straw Shoe Gang, it must have happened at least twenty-two years ago, that is, in 2020.

Because in mid-2020, all members of the Straw Shoes Gang joined the Big Head Gang and were reorganized into the new alliance. In this way, Yun Fusheng is also the first member of the new alliance.

At that time, in the old Feso Port, members of the Straw Shoes Gang opened many handicraft workshops, small processing plants, and repair factories.

Yun Fusheng set up a bamboo processing factory to produce various daily utensils, such as cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks, beds, stools, tables and chairs, baskets, pots and buckets. Many of the products are also sold in grocery stores, so he often

Dealing with Old Man Yang.

Yang Tehong is undoubtedly a very knowledgeable person in his eyes. In March 2020, before Yun Mo was born, he asked Old Man Yang to help name the child.

Old Man Yang named Yunmo, which can be used by both men and women.

In the civil education system of Huanxiang Country, the age for primary school entry is normally from after reaching the age of five to before reaching the age of eight, that is, five, six, and seven years old. You can choose the specific time.

Yun Mo went to primary school at the age of five and middle school at the age of ten, where he began to practice Yang Yuan Shu.

The education of Yang Yuan Shu is also divided into time periods. Only introductory and first-level content is taught in Form One to Secondary School; second-level content is taught in Secondary Three to Form Four; and third-level content of Yang Yuan Shu is taught only in the fifth grade of middle school.

This is different from the fee-based training courses offered by associations around the world, mainly because of the age of the children.

Yun Mo's talent was so great that he became a first-level Yuan Yuan master in the first grade of middle school, a second-level Yuan Yuan master in the third grade of middle school, and a third-level Yuan Yuan master in the fifth grade.

During her college years, Yun Mo's cultivation level broke through the fourth realm and the fifth realm. After graduating from college, she entered the Chunrong Dan Center to work. Now she has been working for less than two years, and she just passed the sixth-level Yangyuan Master qualification assessment at the beginning of the year.

.

How did she become a direct disciple of Hua Zhenxing? Although Yangyuan Valley created a new way of practicing inheritance, it also tolerated the traditional master-disciple inheritance model.

If a master of Yangyuan Valley with Dacheng cultivation has a promising candidate, he can also recruit disciples in the ancient way. In this case, no additional public resources can be used, but the master can invest various resources privately.

Master's personal resources and energy are limited, so he can only select successors with the most outstanding talents and conduct and carefully cultivate them.

This kind of master-disciple inheritance relationship has very strict requirements. If the disciple commits something, the master is also responsible. Therefore, it has a formal ceremony, and the corresponding heart oath must be made, entered in the sect's genealogy, and the elders of the same sect and fellow disciples must be invited to witness.

Let me introduce the experience of Huazhenxing in the past ten years.

After graduating from University, Hua Zhenxing worked at the Chunrong Dan Center for two years. During his work, he "obtained" a fourth-level Yangyuan Master certificate, and finally "became" an intermediate Yangyuan Technique instructor, and was then assigned to the No. 1 position in Xintian Town.

One middle school.

According to Yangyuan Valley's rotation system for instructors, the period of posting to middle schools is usually five years, starting from the first grade and bringing freshmen to graduation, but Hua Zhenxing took over midway.

The original tutor had taught that class of students for four years, but was transferred for some reason. Hua Zhenxing took over the middle school graduating class and taught this group of students through fifth grade.

Instructor Hua Zhenxing is not only responsible for the teaching of Yangyuan Technique for the entire grade, but also takes over as the head teacher of Class 54, and also teaches chemistry courses for the entire grade.

There are a total of six classes and 270 students in this grade. Before Huazhenxing took over, comparing the indicators of other domestic schools in the same period, the entry rate and promotion rate of Yangyuan Shu teaching were the lowest.

After four years of learning, there are less than thirty beginners in Yangyuan Technique, and only one Yun Mo has broken through to the second level.

It took only one year after Hua Zhenxing took over to create the highest level of Yangyuan Shu teaching results in history.

By the time of graduation, 120 people in this grade had obtained various levels of Yangyuan Master certificates, 97 of whom had obtained the second-level Yangyuan Master certificates, and ten of these 97 people had become third-level Yangyuan Masters.

division.

This is a miracle in the educational history of Huanxiang Country!

Ordinary teachers and students who have not been to the Fourth Realm do not know Hua Zhenxing's identity, but Director Hua personally came to Xintian Town No. 1 Middle School to take over this grade. Yangyuan Valley also sent a team whose identity was not disclosed to the public to assist and observe.

.

They summarized Director Hua's practical teaching experience and compiled a set of reference teaching plans for all Yangyuan Shu instructors in this position to learn from.

Hua Zhenxing himself believed that this set of reference lesson plans did not match the five-year teaching plan of Huanxiang Junior High School because he only took over the teaching for the last year.

So after sending off this graduating class, he transferred himself to the newly established No. 2 Middle School of Miyue Town. He brought a complete class of students from the first grade to the fifth grade, and together with the assistance group, he wrote another

A more complete set of reference lesson plans.

Hua Zhenxing spent five years at Yanyue No. 2 Middle School, but his teaching results did not break the record he set at Xintian No. 1 Middle School, but it did reach the second highest level in the history of Huanxiang Country.

Hua Zhenxing worked at the Chun Rong Dan Center for two years and as a middle school teacher for six years. Then he transferred himself to the International Yangyuan Art Association headquartered in Bi Kong Lake, and is still working in the information management department of the association.

The information management department of the association is responsible for the booth reservation application for the moon stall, including the registration of stall operators.

Hua Zhenxing had known Yun Mo for a long time, and later became Yun Mo's class teacher. He was very optimistic about Yun Mo's talent, and he paid attention to guiding and cultivating it during middle school... This may also be related to the dream back then.

After Yun Mo was admitted to Fesuogang University, he broke through the four realms of cultivation. Only then did he realize that Hua Zhenxing was actually the chief instructor of Yangyuan Valley, and he was very lucky to be accepted by Hua Zhenxing as his direct disciple.

Today Hua Zhenxing and Manman are not here to set up stalls, but also to go shopping. Since they met Yun Mo, let's take their disciples to go shopping together.

The Moon-Sealing Stall is very large, with a total length of 60 kilometers of pedestrian streets. If you don't master the five-level magic power, you won't be able to finish it in one day.

Even if you have the power to control shapes, going to the market is not like running, so you can't walk that fast. Moreover, even if you walk fast, you can't encounter all the good things. This kind of thing still depends on chance.

Biyue Town is also shrouded in a magic circle. The city wall is part of the magic circle and can isolate spiritual consciousness.

The spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate to other floors, nor can it penetrate the stairwells in front and behind. The detection range is usually only the 500-meter street section where I am.

The three of them continued wandering and walked about another kilometer when Hua Zhenxing and Manman suddenly stopped.

The 500-meter-long street section here has designated spaces for hundreds of stalls, but there is only one stall set up at the moment, which looks very empty.

The person setting up the stall was a woman wearing a long white dress, with the skirt covering the floor but not a trace of dust. Standing still, she looked like the floating clouds had just been framed in a painting.

It is described as being around twenty. It is clearly right in front of you, but it feels like you are standing far away.

There was an antique long table in front of her. The stall was five meters long, and this long table took up more than four meters. The market service center did not rent such a thing, so she obviously brought it herself, and she probably used the space.

Artifact.

Manman said with spiritual thought: "I have seen today's booth application records. No one applied here, and no one should set up a stall."

Hua Zhenxing: “It wasn’t illegally moved from another location, she didn’t even make an appointment.

But she probably didn’t do it on purpose. She might have heard about this place and came here to have a look, but she didn’t know the market regulations, so she followed other people’s example and found a place to set up a stall..."

While speaking, Hua Zhenxing actually smiled. Yun Mo asked in confusion: "Master, do you know her?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Yes, long time no see."
