The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Hearing Ah Que's words, Zhao Qing thought thoughtfully, "A white-haired old man who is good at fishing is waiting for me by the river?"Judging from his appearance and age, the other person must be Fumiko. He actually made a straw ring for the child, which felt quite childish.

Speaking of which, compared with the matter of trying to understand the inheritance in the Tomb of King Yu, but still unclear about the details of the process, she was more interested in her meeting with Xin Wenzi, the great master of Taoism and most likely the best master in Yue Di. , but I am looking forward to it much more.

Generally speaking, this kind of inheritance related to ancient tombs should have relatively strict restrictions, and is more inclined to protect the descendants of the tomb owner, that is, the Yue royal family, the Zenge family, and the Yue people who have a marriage relationship with them. Large families etc.

And if you trace your ancestors back, you probably don't have the bloodline of Dayu. The probability of accepting the inheritance is much lower than the normal inheritance that relies solely on understanding. The harvest is likely to be quite average, but it is better than nothing at all.

It is said that Wenzi came to me at this time. Maybe there is some key news to tell me?Maybe it has something to do with the next inheritance and enlightenment?

After chatting for a few more words with the middle-aged villagers and their families, Zhao Qing caught a glimpse of the trend of people gathering in the village to watch the excitement. He was not used to explaining to them repeatedly, so his thoughts moved slightly, and he transformed into illusory figures, and came straight to The place near the river outside the village aims to find the old fisherman mentioned by Aqiao.

……

At this moment, it was the You hour, and the sun was setting in the west. Thousands of miles away in Kuaiji City, Sun Di, who was lying idle and sleeping in a stone room under the observatory, was suddenly lifted up by a crutch and turned over. I woke up with a start, eyes wide open.

"Where is Wenzi? Where has he been? He won't leave me alone, will he?" Sun Di immediately shrank to the corner, pressing the hilt of his sword in his hand, looking at a strange person who appeared in the stone room, and said coldly He asked: "Who are you? How did you get in here?"

"You can call me 'Shang Yuan', you can also call me 'Old Shangzi'." The strange visitor, wearing a gray-white crane feather cloak, slowly turned around, and saw a full-body Yuxi Yi stick in his hand. The slender crutch, made of fairy jade and weighing far more than a mountain, gives people a strange feeling of being as light as clouds.

Although this man's back was slightly stooped, the skin exposed on his body did not look aging. However, when he continued to speak, the words he spoke shocked Sun Di: "If calculated by generation, Shang should be He must be Wenzi's uncle. Now that he has something to go out for, please ask me to look after you."

Wenzi's uncle?Is there such a hidden figure in the world?Sun Di's mind was full of thoughts, and he quickly thought of Lao Dan's legendary mentor, Shang Rong, a descendant of the famous sage Shang Rong during the King Zhou period, and guessed that Shang Yuan was probably the descendant of Shang Rong.

Thinking that after Wenzi left, his imprisonment should be relaxed and there would be a chance to be broken. Sun Di sighed and asked Shang Yuan: "The elder is here not just for this matter, right? Boy. I am ignorant and want to ask for advice... maybe I can give my own suggestions..."

However, Shang Yuan smiled coldly and interrupted Sun Di's words. There was a hint of pity in his eyes, and he sighed: "I see your face, you have mouse ears and eagle eyebrows, a straight nose and cheeks, and although your eyes are big, If the spirit is separated and scattered, if the way is not clear, it will shrink inward and become a trap, and its ambition will be captured by others."

"A young man succeeds, but like a star shining at night, the short-term light will lead to long-lasting darkness. If you can keep a low profile, you may still be able to survive. However, you have cunning eyes and there must be arrogance in your heart."

"Although there is no serious problem this time, the road ahead will be full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will fall into a situation of eternal disaster. And your descendants will also have a bad life because of your weak will, so that this branch Reduced to the point where sacrifices are cut off.”

When Sun Di heard Shang Yuan's words, he felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, as if he had experienced all this, followed by a panic.When he thought about his past, he was indeed a little carried away and acted in a flamboyant way.As for his future, some clues can already be seen from Shang Yuan's words.

In the past, Shang Rong wanted to assassinate King Zhou but was unable to do so, so he fled to the Taihang Mountains and hid in the world. It was not until King Wu succeeded in defeating Zhou that he came out of the mountains and mingled with the people who greeted the king's master in Chaoge. , King Wu's foreign minister made accurate judgments respectively.

As far as the art of physiognomy is concerned, Shang Rong was undoubtedly the top master at that time, and his descendants seemed to have inherited this skill and successfully discovered extraordinary talents like Lao Dan. Shang Yuan's attainments in physiognomy , probably no less famous than the famous fortune teller Gu Bu Ziqing in the world, and even above the number one fortune teller in Wu State.

There was a trace of fear and doubt in Sun Di's eyes. After a moment of silence, he looked up at Shang Yuan with a pleading tone in his voice: "I am deeply frightened by the elder's words. However, I still have questions. .What should I do to avoid the bad luck you mentioned?"

"The secret cannot be revealed, I can only point it out."

Shang Yuan took a deep look at Sun Di, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and said lightly: "However, according to a theory that has been repeatedly verified, if one can find a specific destiny set by God, It's not like a person who goes against fate can't make some changes.

"After you leave here, you have to remember: keep a low profile and don't fight for anything. Don't force anything. Let nature take its course, which may keep you safe. Otherwise, I can foresee your future without using any further techniques of voyeurism. ——Walked into danger, died young, and lost all descendants.”

Leave from here?Is he going to let me go?By saying this specifically, could it be that you want me to look for the so-called "fate-defying person"?

Sun Di couldn't help being extremely surprised. He looked at him intently, only to find that the surrounding environment was shaking. He didn't know when he had appeared in the vast farmland outside Kuaiji City, and he suddenly woke up from a dream. Come over and regain your freedom.

Over the farmland, it was noon, and the green rice seedlings only cast almost no blurred shadows on their edges. He couldn't help but feel that time was out of order, and he quickly "remembered" that he had left the underground stone room. The process of walking straight to this point.

Is this kind of illusory experience that seems to have experienced everything before, the legendary ability of "Tao reflects the flowing light"?
……

Not long after the rain, the water was gurgling by the river in the deserted village, and the rising water splashed gentle waves on the small rocks on the shore.The air is filled with the smell of moist earth and the aroma of green grass by the river, which makes people feel comfortable.

On the bank of the small river, in the muddy ditch, a child held a bamboo basket in his hand. With his eyes wide open, he grabbed the loach with great interest. However, because he was not strong enough, even though he touched it for a long time, the water became more and more agitated. It was so turbid that the loaches had already fled.

Under the sunlight, the dense reeds by the river sway in the wind, full of green.Each reed stalk is as straight as a pen and green.From time to time, dragonflies shuttle among the reeds, flying lightly.

Suddenly, a series of bubbles appeared in the water, as if some creature was breathing underwater.Immediately afterwards, several frogs jumped out of the water plants with a croaking sound and disappeared into the bushes on the shore.The child was startled. His feet slipped and he sat on his butt in the ditch.

At the same time, on the other side of the reeds, three gray-brown heads poked out. They were a big roe deer and two small roe deer coming to the river to drink water. When they drank water, their noses gently probed. When you enter the water, you feel as if you are feeling the temperature and breath of the river.

While the two little roe deer were drinking water, the big roe deer carefully observed the surrounding environment, especially the children on the other side who were catching loaches.Although the child does not appear to be in danger, it remains vigilant and protects its cubs in case anything unexpected happens.

Catching a glimpse of the scenery beside the small river from a distance, Zhao Qing suddenly became envious of the childlike fun that children in the village could easily have. Then he looked far into the distance, looking across the winding river and heavy reeds, and landed on On a stone pier and wooden beam bridge three or four miles away.

On this ancient bridge made of a dozen beams and a large bluestone in the middle of the river, sat an old man wearing a grass-green coir raincoat. He wore a bamboo hat on his head and held a fishing rod in his hand. Dressed in a standard fisherman's attire, he stared at the water with his lowered eyes, as if waiting for something.

Continuing to get closer, she saw the old man's raincoat fluttering gently in the breeze. His face under the bamboo hat looked peaceful and mysterious. Although his hair had turned white, it was still thick and shiny. Although his face had the marks of time, There are no traces of it, but the handsomeness and fortitude of his youth can still be seen.

Looking carefully, I saw that the other party was in high spirits, with a pair of eyes as clear as autumn water, and a soft smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, which made people feel friendly and warm. The old man's beard and hair sparkled in the sun, as if carrying the vicissitudes of the years, and giving it another People have a feeling that the more they look at it, the younger they become.

The river water under the bridge was crystal clear, and a group of golden carps that were almost the same as what Zhao Qing had seen were swimming around him in the river water, jumping out of the water from time to time, or spitting out a few strings of colorful bubbles.

The backs of these golden carp have sparkling star patterns, which separate the clear and turbid, forming a gathering point for water flow.A large number of ordinary fish follow the golden carp in the parade, just like the stars holding the moon, giving people the inexplicable feeling of fishing from heaven and earth, making the river seem to have turned into a milky way.

The old man's movements and expression were so elegant and calm, as if he was part of the scenery by the river, integrated with nature. The river turned into a vast and endless Milky Way, and what he was fishing for were stars, which was both illusory and heavy.

After confirming the identity of the other party in his heart, Zhao Qing walked gently towards the wooden bridge, slowly came to the side of the bridge, and sat down on a bluestone by the river so as not to disturb the old man's fishing.

Soon, she caught a carp from the water that looked solid but was an illusory shadow in her eyes. She took it out and put it into the fish basket. The old man slowly raised his head and looked at Zhao Qing with a pair of clear eyes, as if he could see through it. into her soul, and then smiled slightly:
"Are you Zhao Qing? My name is Xin Ling, and my courtesy name is Wenzi. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Shaking the bamboo basket that seemed to be full of catch, Xin Wenzi put away the fishing rod and continued to speak calmly: "No matter what you have to ask, please put it down for now. Let me tell you a story first... "You?" Zhao Qing's heart moved, and he immediately turned his head to look towards the other side of the wooden bridge. He didn't know when a golden carp came down and joined the group of golden carp under the bridge. A star map including 28 constellations was formed, and what followed closely behind was the Monkey King that she was very familiar with.

……

Bathed in the warm sunshine, the ape male sitting on the strong head goat was actually directing the group of goats, making them trot along the river with neat steps, just like a team performing military rituals. Soldiers, mighty and dignified.

After realizing Zhao Qing's amazing training ability and the rapid improvement of Zheng Dan's status as a "stranger", Yuan Gong couldn't help but compare Zheng Dan with himself, analyzed their respective advantages and disadvantages, and felt that he was also It is time to develop a certain power.

As we all know, the minds of herbivores are purer than those of most humans, close to the level of infants and young children. Although due to limited intelligence, except for special individuals with extraordinary talents like the ape male, they cannot practice complex and changeable energy. Law;

But if you start from the Qi refining system, especially the Buddhist exercises that pay the most attention to the spiritual realm, such as the "Shen Zhao Jing", "Yi Jin Jing", "Shen Zu Jing" and other excellent internal skills that do not require high "intelligence", then that is another way. A completely different conclusion.

Especially for the "Shenzu Sutra", in theory, just by putting your body in strange postures, you can start, practice, and improve your skills spontaneously. It can also refining external toxins to quickly increase the internal energy of your true energy. And it has the characteristics carried by poison.

There is no doubt that this technique is exactly in line with the expectations of the Monkey King, allowing the animals he specially trained to grow rapidly and become his allies and reliable subordinates.

After learning about the existence of the "Sacred Foot Sutra" from Zhao Qing, as well as the experiments on the stone wall of the Lingjiu Palace that allowed birds and beasts to practice internal skills, the Monkey King gradually came up with the idea of ​​adapting the former into multiple animal versions, and It is hoped that initial attempts will be made on medium and large mammals such as cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs whose meridian structures are similar to humans.

So, the ape man began to train the goats that had a good relationship with him, and let them perform specific movements.Seeing that these goats, after spending some time under his guidance, gradually became uniform in their movements, Mr. Ape felt quite satisfied.

Start by training goats, gradually subdue the surrounding beasts, expand the territory, and then recruit intelligent birds and beasts, let them serve as team captains and lords, and gradually build a powerful animal kingdom. This idea is like a seed in its heart , began to take root and sprout.

Since there is no territorial dispute with humans, the White Ape Kingdom should not encounter many significant opponents in the process of expansion. Theoretically, it can cover the [-]-mile Kuaiji Mountain, or even ten times the area. There is a vast mountainous area in southern Vietnam.

However, compared with the Zhao Qing plan that it had recently learned about, Yuan Gong still felt that he seemed too traditional and conservative, with nothing new and needed to achieve further innovation and breakthroughs.

At this moment, he received a reminder from the golden carp mark on his body. The ape man knew that a wise man was fishing nearby, waiting for him and Zhao Qing. After hesitating for a moment, he led the Aries team over and followed the man on the other side of the bridge. Zhao Qing looked at each other, nodded, and agreed to listen to the story.

……

"That's right, I've been thinking about something recently and want to share it with you two." Xin Wenzi took off his bamboo hat, looked at the mist-shrouded mountains in the distance, and said with a smile: "Xin has been fishing for so many years. I met many interesting fishing friends..."

“There are those who build giant fishing carts as big as mountain peaks, connect the fishing carts to the entire Kuaiji Mountains, prepare unprecedentedly large hooks, and throw the rods into the depths of the East China Sea, hoping to catch the ancient Kun fish at once; there are also those who use Yi Yi Shooting fish, once used an arrow to kill a horned dragon that transformed into a carp..."

"Compared with their grand plans and amazing harvests, my own fishing skills don't have much to show off." After a pause, Wenzi continued: "However, what I want to talk about this time is He is another fisherman who strives for excellence and is extremely persistent.”

Guessing the identities of the two fishing friends mentioned by Wenzi, they should be Mr. Ren Guo and Song Guo Yuqie, Zhao Qing was slightly shocked and couldn't help but become interested in the story of the third fishing friend and listened attentively.

"As for fishing, I just enjoy the fun in the process, but this friend often asks me and other fishermen about the techniques, and wants to know what strategies should be adopted when using fishing gear of the same value. Only in this way can we harvest the most fish and shrimps.”

Wenzi added: "Realizing that the other party was pursuing the highest efficiency of fishing, I thought for a while and replied that under different costs and starting from the two major directions of long-term goals and short-term harvest, each has a different answer. , cannot be generalized.”

"For example, if we don't have money, we can go to river beaches and ditches to catch fish with our hands, or use sticks to catch fish. This is the simplest and most original method, and it is also the lowest cost method, just like rural children Catching loaches is an introductory stage of fishing.”

"If we have a big coin, we can go to the market to buy fishing lines and hooks, make our own bamboo poles, prepare good bait, and use fishing methods. If we have good fishing skills and sufficient patience, our harvest can be greatly increased. , has entered the primary stage of fishing.”

"If you have a capital of ten big coins, purchasing a fishing net of suitable size and density, and fishing on a large scale where fish gather is the first choice. In terms of fishing efficiency, it will undoubtedly be far better than Fishing where you can only catch one fish at a time is considered an intermediate stage of fishing.”

"Once you have a capital of one thousand big coins or more, you can dig and build a fish pond of five to ten acres, buy fry for breeding, and get rid of the constant lack of fish stocks and income when fishing online. The flaw of instability…this is the advanced stage of fishing.”

"Speaking of this, my friend interrupted and said that he had recently inherited his father's assets and had already made plans to raise fish ponds, which is what I call the advanced stage of fishing." Wenzi smiled and continued: "So what he really wanted to ask was how to run his own fish pond."

"Manage your own fish pond?" Mr. Yuan has a straightforward temperament. He always feels that there is something in the other person's words, so he can't help but interject: "This fish pond shouldn't be that simple, right? It sounds like it may refer to a big force?"

Fumiko didn't take Bai Yuan's words seriously. Wenzi just smiled and seemed to acquiesce to this statement and continued:
"It just so happened that I also had some personal opinions on this issue, so I shared with him: The key to fish pond farming lies in the timing of placing fish fry, ensuring water quality, feeding feed, and finally screening during fishing, and obtaining good results. Conduct regular inspections.”

"The flow rate, water temperature, water quality, etc. of water will all have an impact on the growth and reproduction of fish. Therefore, the water in the fish pond is best obtained from natural water sources such as mountain streams, rivers and lakes. At the same time, the pond water must be maintained The liquidity allows it to circulate frequently..."

"When placing fish fry, you should choose species with strong vitality and fast growth. Don't be fooled by those species with gorgeous appearance. Moreover, you must clearly distinguish the living habits of various fish, reasonably mix different species, and maintain a balanced state. …”

"It must be mentioned that if the number of fish in a single fish pond reaches a certain number, a dragon transformed from a fish is likely to be born and fly away with all the fish in the entire fish pond. Therefore, it must be Some turtles are bred in the pond to act as guards and hinder this..."

At this point, Zhao Qing had already realized that Wenzi was actually using the method of fish farming as a metaphor for governing the country. The "fisherman" is the king of a country, and the big fish, small fish, and shrimps represent officials and civilians at all levels. Water is equivalent to the most fundamental 'economic' basis?

And his friend who inherited his father's "fish pond" should be referring to the Yue King Gou Jian?By the way, after yesterday's battle, Gou Jian should summon him soon. Does Wenzi want me to prepare in advance?
“After listening to my advice on fish farming, my friend’s fish ponds had great harvests for several years, so he specially told me the good news.”

Wenzi said calmly: "I reminded him, now that you have saved enough capital to buy other fish ponds, why do you still focus on a small pond instead of taking a broader view? Alone. Although the area of ​​fish ponds that can be managed is limited, you can definitely hire other people to do it.”

This is the development from the tribal and Fang Kingdom era to the feudal dynasty, right?Zhao Qing was deep in thought, his thoughts moved slightly, and he said: "I heard that fixing multiple fishing nets on rivers and lakes to encircle a water area can also have a similar effect to fish ponds. effect."

"Not bad!" Wenzi agreed and continued: "This further method, let's call it 'cage culture', can connect the water sources between multiple fish ponds, and can also be used in one cage. In the farm, different cage sizes and depths are set up according to the growth needs of different fish.”

In Zhao Qing's view, the separated "fish ponds" have reunited into one, which is already the state of a 'unified' centralized empire.However, Wenzi's words were not finished yet:
"If the cost reaches hundreds or thousands of gold, you can consider using the power of magic to build a batch of fully automatic detection, opening and closing cages, which can automatically adjust the cages by automatically detecting the number and growth status of fish. Size and depth, adapted to their needs.”

"In this case, the life of the fish in the 'pond' is almost the same as the original state of freedom in the rivers, lakes and seas. They are not even aware that they are in captivity, but there are some differences in terms of food and safety. With higher guarantee, output and quality can reach the highest level.”

Isn’t this just treating by doing nothing?Zhao Qing said that he fully understood what Wenzi meant, and vaguely guessed that what the other party was going to say next should be that King Gou Jian of Yue wanted to "raise fish" according to Wenzi's instructions, but he encountered new difficulties.

However, the next moment, Wenzi's words gave Zhao Qing an unexpected feeling: "The principle of fish pond farming, placed on cultivation, also has a corresponding relationship, involving the operation of the rules of heaven and earth. The theory, perhaps, can be called the 'Tao Yun Transaction Theory'."
