Bronze bells, featherless arrows, river beard grass, and jade pure bottles.
These are the four existing dharma phases of Xiao Ming's true spirit pool that Jiang Feng learned through the "phase separation technique", and then reflected them through the "concrete talisman" without naming them.
"You can choose one as your future image."
What, is there such a thing? Xiao Mingzhen's eyes instantly became round, and he looked at Jiang Feng with an incredible look. Awakening the Dharma, isn't it a destiny in the dark? Even if his parents are monks of the same Dharma, he won't
It is 100% possible to give birth to children with the same kind of appearance, or even the same kind of appearance. This is a natural principle that has been proven by monks in the cultivation world. Now, what will happen if you let yourself choose by hand?
"Ancient Luo copper bells, silver-feathered iron stone arrows, Miluo Huanxincao, mutton-fat jade pure bottles."
Xiao Mingzhen read out the names of the four Dharma signs one by one based on the patterns concretely created by Jiang Feng.
This time it was Jiang Feng's turn to be surprised.
Xiao Mingzhen's understanding of the Dharma instantly overturned his previous evaluation of her. This willful girl who loves to lie is quite knowledgeable. In contrast, she only gave a simple name based on the image, and even
There is a kind of "River Xiu" who seems to have admitted his mistake. Unexpectedly, although "Wen Xiu" is still as barbaric as "Martial Xiu" in his heart, he is still superior to others in his knowledge of the past and the present.
"I choose Guluo copper bell."
Xiao Mingzhen spent at least two sticks of incense, thinking about it until the image on the symbolic talisman was about to dissipate, and then gave the answer. This was somewhat different from Jiang Feng's expectation. Jiang Feng originally thought she would choose "no feather arrow".
That is the "Silver Feather Iron Stone Arrow" in her mouth. Judging from the image of the Dharma Appearance, this is the only combat Dharma Appearance. However, Xiao Mingzhen obviously hesitated on the "Guluo Bronze Bell" and "Miluo Fantasy Heart Grass"
longer.
"If you weren't lying to me, you are more powerful than I thought." Xiao Mingzhen said seriously and respectfully for the first time. Although it was not the first time he used the title "you", Jiang Feng could feel the sincerity in these words.
"the same as you."
The two looked at each other and smiled, chatting about other things without further entanglement on this matter, as if everyone had received a treasure.
…………
Dayi County is more prosperous than Jiang Feng imagined.
Of course, this prosperity is still far away from the slums of Zhenwu City, but compared with the style of other places in Qianshan Sect, it is already pretty good.
Construction is happening everywhere, and not everyone can afford to hire "construction monks" to build quickly. Many still rely on secular power. Uneven pavilions, terraces, and pavilions, with various materials piled up in a mess, are everywhere.
Fortunately, the market has been planned early, leaving a lot of room for future development. From this point of view, Ding Baozhen, the deacon of the Construction Department, has done a lot of work. Thinking of this, I feel sorry for the maid Ding Lingyun's escape from Zhanchuan Town.
For one thing, I felt a little more relieved.
Yu Xiaozheng's store is located at the northeast corner of Cross Street. Although it is not in the best location, judging from the future flow of people, it is also one of the most prime locations. The store is not large, only about fifty steps, but it is two meters deep.
Baibu has a typical "shop in front and home in the back" layout. Unlike most shops around it, his shop opened early. It must have been built quickly by hiring "building monks" at a high price.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Feng made the decision and chose an inn called "Yelai" that was equipped with a soundproof array. The group settled in first and presided over the ceremony that night, removing Xiao Mingzhen's first dharma sign "mutton fat".
"Jade Pure Vase", when the drop of spiritual liquid fell into the gourd, regardless of the spiritual energy being exhausted, he gave a few words to the two maids and servants, then went out at night and rushed to Yu Xiaozheng's grocery store.
"You're finally here." Yu Xiaozheng was actually there, and his eyes were red and he was still awake. In order to leave the sect to manage the store more conveniently, he found a way to ask someone to take care of it, and got a "foreign affairs walking" position, so he could get rid of "Dianmao".
"The pain. Seeing him alone, Yu Xiaozheng whispered mysteriously, "Hey, where is the girl?"
"What girl?"
"Don't fool me. There are bullock carts everywhere in Dayi Town now. You and your three carriages are so flashy. Do you think I'm blind? I saw that girl. She looks like a lady. How did you cheat her?
?”
"Oh," Jiang Feng tilted his head back and showed a smile that everyone understood, "So you already know."
"Don't interrupt. I'm asking you about your girl. Can you introduce her to me?"
"He has two Xuan-level guards. If you are willing to go, go ahead and tell me your name." Jiang Feng patted Yu Xiaozheng on the shoulder and encouraged him a little.
Ignoring Yu Xiaozheng's entanglement, he casually found an empty room to sleep in. Compared to the inn where Xiao Mingzhen was guarding and monitoring, Jiang Feng was more trustworthy here. At least Yu Xiaozheng would not harm him.
This simply furnished guest room is located in the corner of the courtyard. From here, you can catch a glimpse of the vast wasteland in the backyard. Thinking about it, maybe this is the land that you bought in advance. Now you don’t have to wait for the shop facing the street to become popular, and the land price should have doubled. This is
He specifically asked the innkeeper, but considering that Xiao Mingzhen paid a third-level coin in advance, he had three third-level coins and seventy second-level coins in loose money, so he didn't have to be so anxious to sell the land. Maybe
You can wait a little longer.
There was no words all night, and early the next morning, Zheng Keyi gently knocked on her door.
Compared with the last time I saw him, Yi's skin color is obviously much darker. His original elegant dress has disappeared, replaced by "vulgar powder", and he even wears common gold and silver items. Of course, these are all
In order to integrate into the life here and facilitate movement.
To say that working in this originally remote Dayi Town is much harder than being an ordinary woman in the Zheng family. Moreover, shouldering the tasks given by Jiang Feng is not only tiring, but also tiring. When assigning her to Dayi County, Jiang Feng only gave her
He gave her a second-level pocket money. Comparing the prices here yesterday, one second-level is not too much. Presumably, the difficulties caused by financial constraints are not too little.
"I've met you, sir." The two of them met outside the sect and both used the title "sir". Yu Xiaozheng worked in a grocery store and would not set up unnecessary things like soundproof arrays. For this reason, Jiang Feng thought that the next
For this purchase, you need to buy some "isolating notes". Although this second-level standard talisman can only be effective for one stick of incense, in most cases, it is enough.
"Thank you for your hard work, how are things going?"
Zheng Keyi narrated the intelligence she had collected recently without any complaints or complaints about difficulties. This made Jiang Feng deeply gratified and there was not much nonsense. Jiang Feng didn't know much about her at first. After all, she was sent to "sleep".
Within a few days, he was brought over to work as a spy, so this report was the first time the two of them had an in-depth conversation.
Zheng Keyi has initially opened up the situation here. There are now more than 1,200 people living in Dayi County. The daily passenger flow is about 200 people. The monthly gathering can reach 600 people. These data are based on estimates.
It's not easy to do all this while helping in the store.
She also organized a small "sorority" group, which targets ordinary women who work here, ranging from teenagers to fifty years old. There are currently twenty-nine members. Zheng Keyi has good embroidery skills.
, you can earn some pocket money in Dayi Town by exchanging skills with each other with your "sisters". You can also collect various intelligence by chatting about family affairs. Although the level is not high, it has a wide coverage.
With Yu Xiaozheng's encouragement, she mainly needed to take a leave of absence. She was also learning spiritual grass identification and magic weapon binding, which are relatively practical and superior mundane skills. Once learned, she could enter a higher-level circle and the information she could obtain would be more detailed.
efficient.
She is a good girl who is willing to make progress. She knows her own shortcomings and knows how to change this situation through hard work.
This is Jiang Feng's initial assessment, which is that her foundation in the Six Dharma Appearances is really poor. Jiang Feng plans to continue to examine her for a while before making a decision. The time for the Hanshan Sect's Dharma Conference is coming soon, and Xiao Mingzhen's affairs have already squeezed the schedule.
It’s so full that I can’t spare any time.
Although it was miscellaneous and mostly based on market rumors, three pieces of information provided by Zheng Keyi still attracted Jiang Feng's attention.
The first one was a report about members of the sect. Twenty days ago, Wang Jiufu from the sect had come to Dayi County and stayed at the "Ruyi" Inn. Because the price of drinks posted by the store was wrong, the two sides had a dispute.
There was a little conflict, and Wang Jiufu was slightly injured. This incident caused quite a stir in Dayi County.
Wang Jiufu is one of the three Xuan-level monks of the Wang family and the nephew of Wang Xiandao. He used to work in the Department of Ceremonies and make a living. After the reform of the Sixth Department, he has been removed from his post. What is he doing here? The key is that he will stay in the inn for a little money.
Is something going on? There must be something fishy behind this matter.
The second report about the Hanshan Sect was made by local Wu Ma during a casual chat. Recently, many spies from the Hanshan Sect came to Dayi County. Although they were disguised, the subtle differences in accents still revealed their differences to some extent.
The Hanshan Sect’s Dharma Conference is approaching, so it’s natural to send monks to detect nearby situations and ensure the safety of the Dharma Conference. However, if you frequently visit the Qianshan Sect, you may have other purposes to contact Wang Jiufu? Could he be the one who leaked the whereabouts of several elders? If so,
The person behind it must be Wang Xiandao, but what benefit does Wang Xiandao do to him? To get a special promise, or to ruin the mess? Jiang Feng thought about it, and there were too few clues to judge rashly. This matter needs to be considered in the long term.
The third incident is not a secret, but an incident that is known to the entire Dayi County and even the northern part of the Qianshan Sect. Li Xianwu, the director of the Central Pavilion of the Yufeng Sect, fled and was said to be heading towards the Qianshan Sect. Therefore, the Yufeng Sect sent a five-man law enforcement team
Entered Qianshan Sect to search, but returned without success.
The "Zhongge Director" is a senior official of the Yufeng Sect, whose status is between the foreign affairs elder and the foreign affairs deacon. Of course, it cannot be simply compared, because the governance method of the Yufeng Sect is different from that of surrounding sects. As a "literary repair"
A model of governance, the Yufeng Sect has no clear requirements for the cultivation of officials. Even ordinary people can hold high positions. They only need to read poetry and books, and after being admitted and trained by "Tai Xue", they can go to "Tai Pavilion" based on their graduation scores.
, serving in the "Zhongge", "Xiage" and "Badu". Taige manages the internal affairs of the monks, the Zhongge manages foreign affairs, and the lower cabinet manages the secular affairs. The Eight Capitals have different functions, running through the Tai, Zhong and Xia.
"Zhongge Director" is a deputy official of "Zhongge Lao", and there is usually more than one.
As a common problem in "literary cultivation" governance, every few years, Yufeng Sect will have officials defecting. Most of them are due to official strife and failed power struggles, and Yufeng Sect will rarely come forward to pursue them. This time
The escape of a person named "Li Xianwu" probably falls into this category, but I don't know why this person was pursued by the Yufeng Sect law enforcement team. It is really rare. Maybe he has an ulterior secret hidden in him? Jiang Feng looked at the portrait.
, the reason why this wanted order was widely circulated in the northern part of the Qianshan Sect is definitely because the reward is ten second-level coins. This amount of money is enough for an ordinary person to live a well-off life for half a lifetime.
After receiving the portrait of the wanted poster, Jiang Feng directly gave Zheng Keyi five second-level spirit stones as funds for subsequent activities, and stopped her from submitting detailed bills of previous expenses, and told her to do everything cheaply and without reporting everything. Such a generous act
Zheng Keyi was flattered because she had never seen such a large amount of "pocket money" in the Zheng family.
After dismissing Zheng Keyi, Jiang Feng sat quietly for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and was about to go out to the "Yelai" Inn to check on Xiao Mingzhen's physical condition when he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.
