Journey Starts From Wudang

Lu Zhi shook the head with a smile, and declined: "Song Old Mister, I won’t eat this banquet. Every time Poor Daoist comes over, you have to arrange a banquet to entertain Poor. Daoist and Poor Daoist are sorry."

"So forget about the banquet, Song Old Mister, don't be so polite in the future, or go to the fields to see how the rice seeds are growing."

Seeing Lu Zhi's refusal, the old Zhang Surnamed Song didn't want to continue the invitation, so he nodded and went to the farmland outside the village with Lu Zhi.

I saw slices of crisp rice seedlings growing just outside the village. A breeze blew through, and the fragrance of the rice was not right. The rice seedlings have not been headed yet, and the natural farming fertilizer has just been applied. How can there be any fragrance of rice

When Old Zhang Song saw the emerald green rice seedlings, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and said.

"Sigong Lu, thanks to you for providing new rice seeds to the people in the village, and also teaching everyone how to compost and fertilize old man several decades. This is the first time I have seen the growth. Such a good crop."

In this era, people’s idea of ​​growing grains and grains is still at the primordial level of slash-and-burn cultivation, although because of this world Spiritual Qi, more grains will eventually be returned. Successful survival, but how much you can gain in the end depends entirely on God's will and luck.

Lu Zhi laughed and said: "Song Old Mister, now the growth of the rice seedlings has almost stabilized, so in the next two months, Poor Daoist will not come again."

"After two months, when the rice seedlings begin to set ears and fill the grains, Poor Daoist will have to trouble Song Old Mister during this period and lead the villagers to take good care of the wheat seedlings, and weed them every ten days. To prevent pests."

"Finally, during this period, everyone will prepare more fertilizers. When the rice starts to fill up and full, provide some nutrients to the rice."

To Song Laozhang After a few instructions, Lu Zhi turned around again and returned to Chaoge City. After all, there are still a lot of new projects he started in Shanggongfang that need to be dealt with. You can't just stare at this side.

Since Lu Zhi took office as a worker, several new objects such as waterwheel, curved plough, brocade, cotton, and abacus will be sent out from Shang Workshop every once in a while.

Lu Zhi took out a little bit of things that can be recovered from later generations, and spread them to the people with the convenience of Shanggongfang and Yin Shang Dynasty.

In the beginning, it was just Chaoge City. Later, princes and merchants from all over the world also dispatched people to come to Chaoge City to learn from it, and slowly spread it all over the world.

Especially Lu Zhi’s newly improved rice seed. Since the autumn harvest of Song Family Village villagers a year ago, the harvest was nearly six or seven times as large as the previous harvest. Lu Zhi’s improved rice seed The new method of farming and composting immediately became famous in the world, which attracted princes from all over the country to send people to play it, requesting Emperor Xin to grant rice seeding and farming methods.

But Di Xin directly rejected them, and even ordered not to allow an improved rice seed to flow out of Chaoge, and the new method of composting cultivation must not be spread.

Lu Zhi can understand why Di Xin acted like this. After all, although he is the nominal co-lord of the world and controls the princes of the world, in fact, in addition to Chaoge City and Wuguanzhong, etc., In other places, almost the princes were self-governing, and Di Xin simply couldn't control it.

And like today, the princes seem to obey, but in fact everyone has their own careful thinking and rebellion continues. The Yin and Shang armies are still fighting the rebellion in all parts of the world. How can Emperor Xin These fine seeds and new farming methods have been spread out to be enemies?

But it’s not about Lu Zhi’s business. Anyway, he only needs to try his best to take out some things that improve people’s livelihood and educate the people, and then spread it to the world. As for Di Xin and He simply didn't want to pay attention to the power struggle among the princes.

Another thing worth mentioning is that Lu Zhi was promoted.

After all, since Lu Zhi took office, he has done a lot of things that benefit the country and the people, and he has gained a bit of fame. Naturally, he was also promoted to the court and promoted to the office. Doctors can enter the court to discuss matters.

However, Lu Zhi never speaks or makes any comments when he is above the court. There is nothing to say about this.

He has also been received by Di Xin several times, and he has observed this famous faintly tyrant in later generations.

However, judging from his contact with Di Xin and his observations, this fainted monarch is not as unbearable as recorded in history books, but he can't be called what Mingjun is.

Di Xin is lustful. This is well known. Although this is not a big taint, it is enough to reduce the evaluation of him. Secondly, Di Xin is arrogant and arrogant. It sounds good, it can be called domineering, heroic, and even now the ministers such as Bigan, the evaluation of Di Xin is also the hero.

But it is a pity that Di Xin does not have the ability and courage of the hero. After all, Lu Zhi judges him to be arrogant and frivolous, and his ability is not enough to support his self-confidence.

Di Xin didn’t know Lu Zhi’s evaluation of him. After all, he himself didn’t put Lu Zhi too much in his mind, compared to the great talent in the mouth and the others. For him, It's nothing but you.

It’s just that a bit of novelty and a few stones of rice have been tinkered with. It’s not worth seeing him differently, Corporal Lixian.

What he really valued is the imperial Tutor, which can help him calm the world, the pillar of the country. In his opinion, it is not as good as Fei Zhongyuhun's two who can figure out what he likes most. , It caters to his favorite renchen.

Generally speaking, from Lu Zhi’s point of view, Di Xin is a person who is very happy, conceited but has limited ability. He doesn’t pay much attention to the people’s livelihood and internal affairs. Perhaps he is not ignorant of internal affairs. People's livelihood, just because he doesn't care!

What does the livelihood of the people below have to do with him, the king of aloof and remote?

The world is nothing but dogs and dolphins in his eyes. He is just a person ruled by him. How could he really care?

So, after learning about Di Xin’s temperament, Lu Zhi instantly became more and more transparent, without making a sound, without appearing, until the seven-year period was approaching, did he again Started to prepare, and wanted to resign from the official to leave Chaoge.

Chapter 4. Refining treasures

In a blink of an eye, Lu Zhi has been in Chaoge City for more than six years, and the seven-year period is approaching.

On this day, Lu Zhi was writing the last few volumes of "Heavenly Creations" in Shanggongfang. Suddenly, he heard that Bigan came to visit, Lu Zhi immediately got up to welcome him and brought him to the study. Among.

"Doctor Lu is rare during this period of time. In the past few days, he has not even seen the court meeting. Are you studying the scriptures again?"

Lu Zhi laughed: "Anyway Poor Daoist has no strategy for leading the country. The meeting in the upper dynasty is just a waste of time, but I don’t know why Prime Minister Bigan suddenly came to visit today?"

"Doctor Hahalu, this is so busy that he has forgotten the seasons."

That's it." Than forced a smile and said, "Dr. Lu has forgotten, tomorrow is March 15th, Empress Nuwa's Christmas, Your Majesty and I will go to Nuwa Palace for incense tomorrow."

"And Dr. Lu, over the years, you have written books to enlighten the people, educate the people, and bred good breeds, to relieve the hungry of the world, and benefit the people's livelihood. Of course, these achievements must be made by the Holy Mother Empress. Watch it."

Lu Zhi eyes flashed, he glanced at Bigan and said, "Tomorrow, is Holy Mother Empress Christmas?"

Bigan said: "Naturally, Today, you were absent from the imperial meeting. I don’t know what happened, so I specially came to remind Dr. Lu that I remember to arrive at the imperial meeting early tomorrow, and then go to the Nuwa Palace with me."

Lu Zhi did not. Answering, a clear comprehension has been born in my heart, and now it is time to leave.

He said, "Prime Minister Bigan, it seems that Poor Daoist has already reached the time to leave. The Prime Minister cherishes that if there is a destiny, Poor Daoist will definitely come back to look for the Prime Minister in the future."

After speaking, he didn't care about Bigan's stunned look, and each minding their own business took off the doctor's jade seal, put it on the table, got up and walked out of the study.

"Doctor Lu?"

When Bigan reacted and chased out of the study, Lu Zhi had already disappeared.

On the other side, Lu Zhi left Chaoge City and was about to return to Wudang Mountain. He suddenly saw two Yin-Yang Fishes swimming out of the void, one black and one white, turning into a Tai Chi rainbow bridge. To the unknown.

Lu Zhi's expression moved slightly, but without hesitation, he stepped directly onto the Hong Bridge.

There was a change in time and space. When Lu Zhi came back to his senses again, people had already appeared in a magnificent great hall. On top of the cloud bed, a person was sitting upright. The veteran long beard in a robe of seven stars with nine palaces and eight trigrams, looking at him with full of smiles.

Old Zhang? !

Lu Zhi's gaze condensed, and the stormy sea suddenly lifted in his heart. He almost couldn't help but speak out, but he also knew that the man in front of him, although it can be said to be Old Zhang, is not him. The familiar Sloppy Daoist.

In the end, he just raised his hand and gave it a deep stroke.

"Wudang Lu Zhi, pay homage to the old man."

"Hahaha" Who knows, the head of the old man suddenly laughed out of laughter, "Qing Zhi, how can I be with you? So old-fashioned?"

Lu Zhi's expression was stagnant, and he glanced up at this famous Supreme Taoist, but he didn't know how to react.

The old gentleman shook the head and said, "Qing Zhi, don’t worry, I am'Old Zhang' for the old way, and'Old Zhang' is the old way. I and him are not incarnate, he is me. I am him."

Lu Zhi opened his mouth and looked at him for a few moments before kneeling down again: "Qing Zhi pays homage to Mitutoyo Ancestor Master."

This ceremony is different. Lu Zhi respects Taishang, while to Old Zhang, he is the teacher's parents.

So far, Lu Zhi no longer has any doubts about estrangement.

"Okay, you don't have to be polite, Qing Zhi, let's get up."

Lu Zhi stood up as he said, and his expression of restraint and doubt was gone.

The old gentleman was nodded and stood up and said: "Qing Zhi, and follow the old way."

"Yes."

The two walked all the way out of the great hall, Then came to a pill hall, a Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace was burning, and under the huge pill cauldron, two children were fanning the furnace hard.

"Tong'er, how is the fire in this furnace?"

The two boys heard the sound, and quickly got up to pay respect: "Reporting back to Master, Azure Dragon, The essence of Vermilion Bird has been refined into a whole body, which can be of great use."

When the two of them replied, they glanced at Lu Zhi curiously, not knowing that this is the Little who is behind their master. Daoist Priest is who after all.

Lu Zhi hesitated when seeing the eyes of the two of them, hesitating whether to pay respect to the two of them, courtesy of Martial Uncle, but fortunately, the old man said one step in advance.

"Tong'er, this is your Qing Zhi Senior Brother. After many tribulations, I came here today. I don’t want to pay respect soon."

"Ah? Except for the Xuandu Senior Brother. , Lord, have you ever received dísciple?"

"Yes, yeah, this Little Daoist Priest is less than five hundred years old, but it's a'child', why should I wait to call Senior Brother? Shouldn't it be Junior Brother?"

Lu Zhi couldn't help but twitching his eyes. A child who is less than five hundred years old?

"What do you two boys know, please pay respect to you Senior Brother quickly, or the old way will punish you to keep this pill furnace again for July 49th."

Two The boy's complexion changed immediately, and docile hurriedly came up to pay respect: "I have seen Qing Zhi Senior Brother."

Lu Zhi's expression is a little unnatural and nodded responded. These two do not know that they are older than him. How many times the'teacher brother' has been.

The old gentleman said: "Okay, you two go down first, you don't need to watch the fire in the next few days."

After the two boys go down, Lao Jun turned his head again and looked towards Lu Zhi, and said to him: "Qing Zhi, take your saber off, the old way will give you a tempering."

Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment. Yiyan took out the two sabers, Yuanhong and True Martial, and handed them to the old man.

"There is also the pair of White Tiger claws. The four elephants can't get together without the White Tiger."

Lu Zhi does not know how much the old man knows his wealth. How strange, after all, with his Great Firmament insight ability, this myriad worlds matter, as long as he wants to, I am afraid that there are few that he can't understand.

I saw the old man pinch the Eight Trigrams Furnace to open the Eight Trigrams Furnace, shoot the two swords and the White Tiger claws into the furnace together, and reclose the furnace roof before speaking again.

"Lu Zhi, your Rainbow Abyss Sword, with you for many years, body protection battles, has spirituality, turned into your body protection, the treasure of the Tao."

" Today, the old Dao uses the True Martial sword, combined with the four elephants, and blends into the refining into the deep rainbow, increasing its formidable power and strengthening its spirituality for your future body protection."

Lu Zhi now understands what the old man meant, and said: "many thanks Ancestor Master Sanfeng."

"It's time to be called master."

"Yes, master."

"Oh, that's right." The old gentleman said, "Take out your Profound Fire Mirror and the Fire Crystal Stone together, too, I will give you another Monster Revealing Mirror, and start smelting it together. Come on."

"many thanks master."

After putting the Xuanhuo Jian, Monster Revealing Mirror, and Fire Crystal stones into the furnace, the old man took the banana The leaf fan was squeezed into Lu Zhi's hand and exhorted.

"This magic weapon is smelted. The two children have taken care of you for forty-three days, and it takes six days to succeed. In the last few days, you will need to take care of you personally. "

"Remember, every three hours, use this palm-leaf fan to fan into the furnace. With your current cultivation base, it's not too difficult."

"In addition, the medicine pill in the pill room, you can use it at will, and take the opportunity to condense your true essence of mana, and strive to break into the realm of Supreme Unity as soon as possible."

Lu Zhi responded: "dísciple knows."

Soon, the old man also left. In the alchemy hall, only Lu Zhi was left. Lu Zhi sat in silence for a while, two hours In the past, Dang even slapped the fire with the palm-leaf fan in his hand as ordered.

Lu Zhi didn't change his face until the true essence of his whole body poured into the palm-leaf fan like running water.

Although he had a hunch for a long time, this guarding the fire, fanning the Eight Trigrams Furnace is definitely not a comfortable task, and he has already prepared some in his heart, but at this time, he really I have a deep understanding of how laborious this is.

It was just a fan, and almost consumed almost half of the true essence in his body in an instant. No wonder his two'teacher brothers' were so afraid of the task of guarding the fire, and two more Individuals exchanged to fan the fire.

This errand is really not that easy to handle!

However, it is not too difficult if it is just a six-day view, but only a day later, he knew that things were not as simple as he thought.

The reason is that the blazing high-temperature fire beside the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the scent of the fire that overflows, can even burn and smelt his Taoism and true essence.

Although this can be considered a good thing, it can make his Taoism and true essence more pure and condensed, but coupled with the fact that he has to fan the fire every two hours, it is a bit letting People can't support it anymore. After all, beside this Eight Trigrams Furnace, he can't recover from meditating to the true essence.

In desperation, Lu Zhi had to start taking medicine pill.

Chapter 5. Holy Spirit Ying Zhenjun

As the saying goes, there is a day in the sky, a year in the ground, and there is a cloud "live like a year". Lu Zhi now has a deep experience. When it comes, why does it say so.

Obviously it's just a day, but Lu Zhi feels that Buddha has passed a long time, even just a breath of time, it will be stretched infinitely in the senses, and it will be in a flash. Thoughts have been turned a thousand times.

Every two hours when he came back to his senses from entering concentration, Lu Zhi felt like months had passed.

Picking up the palm-leaf fan and fanning it into the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Lu Zhi picked up the medicine pill on the side and poured out a Golden Core with eight turns of moire Core, sent to the entrance, silently refining.

Fan the fire, swallow the Golden Core, and meditate to condense the mana. Although the process is a bit boring, the high temperature of the fire next to the Eight Trigrams Furnace is also a bit hard to bear, but Lu Zhi is still adaptable, quite a joy The sense of being in it.

Unconsciously, it was already the sixth day, and the old man returned to the altar hall again to remind Lu Zhi that the time had come.

"Meet the master." Lu Zhi stood up and bowed.

The old gentleman was nodded and said: "Qing Zhi, now is the 49th day of July, 7th, and 49th. The treasure in the furnace is complete and the furnace can be opened."

As he moved towards Eight Trigrams Furnace, he raised his hand with the whisk in his hand and moved towards Eight Trigrams Furnace. The top of the furnace opened immediately, and the two dazzling lights with the blazing fire suddenly shot out from the furnace and went straight down. In the hands of Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi was not afraid of the blazing fire, raised his hand and took the two brilliances into his hands. The flames dissipated, and the truth of two treasures was immediately revealed.

A Divine Sword, a treasure mirror.

Above the Divine Sword, there is Azure Dragon running through the spine of the sword, White Tiger Sharp Metal Qi has the blade, Vermilion Bird spreads its wings into wings, Tai Chi is used for sword boring, and the two phases of turtle and snake appear on the hilt. , Turned into Black Tortoise suppression, adding a bit more weight, really a peerless Divine Sword!

Another precious mirror is like limpid autumn water. If you look carefully, you can find that there are countless ridges hidden in the mirror, and traces of fiery flames flow and converge in that ridge, as long as thoughts Move, you can illuminate the divine light, blazing fire, Burning All Living Things.

Feeling the horror divine might contained in the two treasures, even Lu Zhi, who has never been frightened, was immediately happy, and his face couldn't help showing a touch of joy and excitement.
