Of the four carriages that the Li family was carrying to the capital, Li Feng's was naturally the largest. He asked Ji Yuan and Zuo Wuji to get on, and no one else dared to have any objections, since the two had met before.
After Ji Yuan and Zuo Wuji got on Li Feng's carriage, the latter urged the servants to continue on their way, and the four carriages began to move slowly again. This time, Li Feng did not sit next to the coachman, but sat in the carriage with the two of them.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Zuo, I have prepared a lot of delicious food and drinks. Look, this box is full of cakes, this box is full of candied fruit, this bottle is honey, this bottle is fruit wine, this is sugar paste..."
Zuo Wuji touched the velvet mat on the carriage, which was a mat made of pieces of sheepskin sewn together. A small copper heater was fixed on the wooden frame in the middle, making the temperature inside the carriage much warmer than outside.
"The Li family is indeed a wealthy family. The decoration inside this carriage really opened my eyes."
"Master Zuo, this is nothing. I heard that the imperial palace in the capital is the real place inlaid with gold and jade."
Li Feng had already opened the pastry box and spread out the layers, allowing Ji Yuan and Zuo Wuji to take the pastries. Zuo Wuji asked a question as he picked up a piece of pastry.
"If I ask you to leave your life of luxury and wealth, can you accept it?"
"Of course I can accept it. As long as the clothes are wearable and the food is filling, it's fine. Even if I don't have enough to eat, I can still survive hunger. Sleeping outdoors is not a problem. I'm brave and not afraid of the dark!"
After Li Feng finished speaking, his eyes rolled around as he looked at Ji Yuan and Zuo Wuji.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Zuo, are you going to take me on a long journey? I don't want to go to the capital. You can take me anywhere. I am not afraid of hardship!"
"Hey, that's easy for you to say. You have never suffered."
After Zuo Wuji said this, he started eating cakes, while Ji Yuan flipped through the books in the carriage and looked at Li Feng and Zuo Wuji.
"You still have to go to the capital. Even if you hate your father for finding a teacher for you, you have to go and tell him in person and talk to the teacher about it. After all, the Xiayong Dynasty may have some support from immortal cultivators now, and your rudeness will not do your father any good."
"oh… "
Li Feng responded, grabbed a piece of cake and went to the car window, opened the wooden buckle switch to open the window cover, and looked at the scenery outside.
"Then it would be better if this train could arrive at the capital more slowly..."
Zuo Wuji was joking on the side.
"That may not be the case. Who knows, Mr. Ji might be in a good mood and wave his sleeves, and we will fly directly to the capital in the clouds. It will definitely not take half a day."
Ji Yuan shook his head, picked up the book and started flipping through it. What was interesting was that although this book was a collection of essays, it actually contained some poems and articles by Yin Zhaoxian. He didn't know how this influence had traveled across the ocean. Was it brought by some kind-hearted cultivator
…
There is a place with many high peaks in the mountains of the southern wilderness. There are towering trees on the mountains and below. At the foot of one of the peaks, there is a group of buildings with very exquisite appearance. The mountain area is at least dozens of acres, and there are pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water.
Of course, if an ordinary person got lost in the Southern Wilderness Mountains and accidentally found this place, unless he was too stupid, he would most likely turn around and leave. The appearance of such a luxurious mansion in the wilderness is most likely a monster.
However, although there are indeed many monsters in this mansion, this yard is indeed an authentic fairy treasure. It can be big or small, and can expand to ten miles, and it has its own mysterious restrictions.
In the yard of one of the gardens behind the mansion, there was a man wearing a dark green loose-fitting samurai uniform with raised shoulders sitting there.
The man was of a rather burly build, with thick eyebrows and fierce eyes. He had no bun or crown on his head, and his white hair was no longer than half a finger. His short white beard extended from his chin to his cheeks. He was concentrating on looking at the chessboard on the table. The black and white chess baskets were both at hand, and there was no one else in the yard. It seemed that he was playing chess with himself.
"Your Majesty..."
Someone outside the garden called out softly, as if afraid of disturbing the man in the yard who was playing chess. Hearing the call, the man in the yard frowned slightly and looked up at the gate.
"What's up?"
A man with a rough face and wearing animal skins hurried in at the gate.
"Your Majesty, the wild boar surnamed Du sent someone to report that the land god seemed to have only six coins. He went to Kuinan County City but didn't get the rest. I guess the land god was just bragging."
The man in the garden did not respond. His attention was back on the chessboard. He was holding a black piece in his hand and thinking about where to place it. After a long time, he still hadn't made any move, but he finally asked a question.
"Du Gangzong didn't find out who gave the money?"
"Well, I asked, but the land god said that he had helped a master look after something before, and he paid the magic money after the master took it away."
The man looked up at his men.
"what?"
"I don't know either, and Du Gangzong didn't ask clearly either. It is said that the Earth God talked for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly. It seems that since the expert took it away, the Earth God has been unable to remember the details of the thing and has forgotten it to this day."
The man looked thoughtful, rubbing his beard with the chess piece in his hand, and muttered.
"This is quite interesting, what is it..."
"My king, do you need to bring the Earth God here?"
The man smiled and shook his head.
"No, this magic coin is very interesting. The agility of the Tao and the refinement of the magic power on it are so amazing. If someone who can give out such a treasure wants to keep a small land ignorant of the matter, then there is no way to find out. You can go down."
"It's the King!"
The man in animal skins bowed, took a few steps back, and then turned to leave. But just as he reached the gate of the courtyard, another voice came from behind.
"Wait, you should go to Du Kuifeng and ask him in person. If you think it's necessary, you can also go to Kuinan County City to take a look."
"yes!"
This time the man in animal skin clothes left very easily.
The man in the yard held the chess piece in one hand and took out a magic coin with the other hand and began to play with it. This coin looked just like a copper coin that was slightly larger than an ordinary coin. It was dark in color and looked very old. The texture of the Taoist patterns on the outside was very solid and did not reveal any breath. It also locked the Taoist essence and magic power inside. Such a small coin contained many tricks.
"Who on earth made this Qiankun Ruyi Coin? Could it be that there is such a master in Lingbaoxuan? No, no, if that were the case, how could it be sold at such a low price? Maybe he would like to use this as a basis to establish a currency for circulation in the cultivation world."
Ordinary money certainly does not have much purchasing power in the world of cultivation. Although there are people who will accept it occasionally, it is too easy for the already established cultivators to obtain these so-called gold and silver items. However, Dharma money is different. It is definitely something that everyone is vying for.
Although the Five Elements Condensation can be considered hard currency to a certain extent, it also has great limitations and is not needed by everyone. However, no cultivator of any level will refuse this level of magic money, even Zhu Yan himself, because this thing is really useful.
However, if this kind of currency is really circulated, it is impossible that all of it is of the level of Qiankun Ruyi Money. After all, this thing has infinite uses and it is impossible to be simple. People who get it probably won't use it as money easily. Most of them keep it for emergency use. It must be differentiated in terms of quality and quantity and used as currency. If you add an exchange amount...
This may cause some people in the spiritual world to become somewhat materialistic, but the essence of spiritual practice is not outside of the body, so it will not have much impact in general. However, it can really make the ties between the spiritual worlds more extensive and create more different colors.
If Ji Yuan was here and knew what Zhu Yan was thinking, he would definitely be a little surprised. It has only been a very short time since Zhu Yan received the magic money, but he has already come up with a set of travel plans that are obviously feasible, which is exactly the same as some of the immature ideas that Ji Yuan had in his mind at the beginning.
The magic coin kept flipping along the slight sway of the fingers on the back of Zhu Yan's left hand, as if he was doing somersaults on his knuckles, and Zhu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the magic coin.
"The person who can refine this thing may not have similar ideas... If I can use it, it would be the best. If not, if there is a possibility that he will do this, I have to find a way to eliminate it..."
Zhu Yan has indeed been paying more attention to the affairs of the human world recently, but as an ancient ferocious beast, no matter how calm he is, he naturally has great contempt for the human race. In his eyes, the real threats are the immortals, Buddhas, spirits, gods and even monsters and other practitioners. So when he suddenly discovered the existence of magic money, Zhu Yan, who seemed to be indifferent, began to take it seriously.
On this point, Du Gangzong actually misunderstood Zhu Yan's meaning. Even Ji Yuan did not realize that what Zhu Yan really cared about was not what happened in Kuinan County, but the Fa Qian itself. After all, no one would think that Zhu Yan would be a mercenary person and would not care about the treasure of Fa Qian. However, Zhu Yan saw through the value behind Fa Qian at a glance.
After thinking for a while, he slapped the table, and all the chess pieces on it jumped up and flew back into the black and white chess basket. Then he threw a chess piece in his hand into the chess basket and turned to leave the garden.
