Chapter 565 [Attending the meeting]
The great catastrophe is worthy of the word "big". It swept across the world, and the human beings who stood up to fight also wrote many epic stories. These continuous stories, some are ordinary, some are brilliant, some are recorded by people, and some are forgotten in time, but when they are added together, they become history.
"Our school of sword cultivators tends to cultivate their nature more than their lives, and their lifespan is usually only two or three hundred years. When Master was alive, he often taught us that our sword cultivators should act like swords. What we should do Just do it, don’t look forward and backward, and don’t care too much about the result, the important thing is to do it.”
"Master, he acted according to this belief, protected those people, and got a good result. I think I have no regrets and are gratified."
Fang Chang's consolation freed Zhuo Tianxing and Zhai Tianyue from their nostalgia for the past. However, Fang Chang was aroused to think more. While chatting with the two of them, he thought about more things.
In recent years, although Fang Chang did not go down the mountain on Xianqi Cliff, besides Zhang Shanshen, occasionally acquaintances came up to visit, and he also had correspondence with many people he met back then. His touch was not as great as the news brought by Zhuo Tianxing and Zhai Tianyue this time.
Practitioners will live long after they have reached a high level of cultivation. Although immortality does not exist due to the increase in entropy, it is a great advantage compared to ordinary people's long lifespan, which ordinary people can only envy but not obtain. In other words, if you don't enter the door of practice, you can't live forever.
Practists will also die, which is actually a kind of fairness. After death, practitioners have to return to heaven and earth, so that the natural cycle of heaven and earth is perfect. Although he has already broken through the gate of life and death, but now he has a new understanding in this aspect, which still makes Fang Chang's cultivation a small step forward.
However, because his cultivation base was high enough, this time his cultivation base improved, and did not cause any abnormalities around him, even Zhuo Tianxing Zhai Tianyue, who was chatting opposite, did not notice any signs.
………
The weather is getting colder.
Fang Chang simply packed his luggage, locked the door, and went down the mountain. The days are approaching the end of the year, and the time for the appointment is getting closer, and he is going to go to the meeting.
It is more interesting to participate in such a grand event.
Winter is the slack time for farming in the mortal world at the bottom of the mountain, and Xianqi Cliff is no exception. After all, all kinds of crops still have to follow the laws of the climate. On the contrary, there are several kinds of spiritual herbs in the medicine field, which were transplanted from warm places, and Fang Chang took some measures to keep them warm.
The location of the event was finally decided to be in Luozhou, somewhere in the southwest of Tianxia. According to Zhang Shanshen, the location of the meeting was actually changed several times with the fluctuation of the number of participants before it was finally finalized. However, the conditions for this are relatively clear, and it is not as difficult to confirm as the time of the meeting.
When going down the mountain, he also met the bamboo spirit.
The bamboo spirit who has already transformed into a half-grown boy now looks much calmer after attending this year's school.
After seeing Fang Chang, Zhu Jing, who was walking towards the mountain with a coarse schoolbag on his back, trembled visibly, and subconsciously wanted to reverse his steps, but immediately he stopped abruptly, bowed to Fang Chang and said: "The little demon has met the Shangxian, and said hello to the Shangxian."
Fang Chang smiled and asked about his studies. At this time, Zhu Jing let go of his subconscious fear and answered honestly. It turned out that this bamboo spirit was studying under the teacher Hu Yun in the school of Linxi Village, and he always ranked among the best in the usual exams. Maybe it's because of the rich inspiration in Yunzhong Mountain, and the bamboo essence has been impregnated.
"Go to school well, and there will be a lot of luck in the future." Fang Chang said with a smile: "Maybe you can take the imperial examination and become an official. That is a novel experience that ordinary monsters can't get."
"Don't dare, don't dare to expect this." Zhu Jing said a little shyly, "I just hope to learn more principles and live up to Mr. Hu's teachings."
"With this heart, you are already much better than ordinary scholars, haha." Fang Chang smiled heartily. Just now, in his spiritual sense, he vaguely saw a trace of the future. This bamboo spirit may really have some luck in his official career in the future. "Go back, I'm about to go down the mountain, so I won't delay you to go home from school, remember to go back and review your homework more."
"Yes, goodbye, Shangxian." The bamboo spirit saluted again, then jumped and ran away.
At this time, his fear was gone, and he managed to talk to this powerful Shangxian, which made him feel very good, his emotions were high, and his face was unconsciously covered with a smile.
Passing through Linxi Village is the official road.
From Linxi Village to Luozhou, you have to go west by south. Fang Chang thought for a while, and planned to start from Huqiao Town, go west along the official road, pass through Huaifeng Mansion and Xingqing Mansion, and then turn southwest from the branch of the official road west of Xingqing Mansion. Cross the river to the west, then walk slightly northwest along the official road, and cross the river again.
When he was in the imperial capital, he glanced at the distribution map of the roads in the world, and traveled many roads in the world, so he has a good understanding of the geography of various places. With just a little thought, he already figured out how to get to Luozhou, even though he had never been to Luozhou.
Fang Chang calculated the distance. If he starts now, he needs to walk faster to arrive.
After all, the mortal world has entered the twelfth lunar month, and the common people have begun to hoard new year's goods, prepare for the new year, and according to the usual life wisdom, consider how to store food until the time of youth.
Many markets are bustling, and people visiting relatives and friends are everywhere.
Some wealthy families even bought firecrackers for the children in advance, often the children were reluctant to set off more, counting for a long time before lighting one, and then having fun.
The vast prefectures and counties to the west of Yunzhong Mountain have no floods, droughts or famines. After years of abundant harvests, the people's lives are quite prosperous, so the market is very prosperous, and people's faces and eyes are also very shiny.
What is particularly different from the past is that the number of schools in the world has doubled today, and reading can be seen everywhere, but because of this, there are many more children who are scolded by parents who are full of expectations and because of their grades. Then the price of glassware is lower, and it seems to be more and more popular. Some new houses can still see glass inlaid on the windows, and there are also stalls in the market that sell food and drink with glassware.
Fang Chang also saw the patented medicines produced in Linxi Village. These convenient and effective prescriptions are very popular among people everywhere. Even doctors in various medical clinics like to prescribe these patent medicines, which are convenient and effective, and the diagnosis and treatment are efficient. After a comprehensive calculation, the profits are not low.
In addition, people's ideas seem to have changed slightly. The harm caused by the great catastrophe to the world in those years still left huge scars in the hearts of these two generations. People are more concerned about reserves, and they are more concerned about childbearing. Perhaps in a few years, the population of the world will recover significantly, and will soon reach the pre-catastrophe level.
