Chapter 9
Mo Zhicheng explained: "But the road under our feet did not exist from the beginning. At first, there was only the small road to Jianping. The mountain road was narrow and rugged and difficult to walk. At that time, we had to go from Pingzhou to Yunzhou, either go east around Yuezhou to Yunzhou, or walk through Yunmengze, which was mixed between the two states, or walk on the Jianping path.
There is no burden like us, whether it is Yunmengze or the small road, it doesn’t matter, it’s just a little slower, but it’s uncomfortable for the caravan.
Yuezhou has undulating mountains and not high, but the people are strong and there are many bandits. It would be nice if a caravan enters a convoy of goods and people can come back. Yunmengze has traps everywhere and there are many malaria, so people may not be able to pass it, let alone caravans. So everyone has no choice but to walk on the small path.
About three hundred years ago, the Jin family was also a wealthy merchant in Wangping County. They received an order from Yunzhou and needed a huge amount of medicinal materials. His family did not have enough savings, so they borrowed money from the Wang family and collected enough goods. Unexpectedly, a heavy rain and a mountain torrent broke out. Most of the goods were washed away, and the rest of the goods were soaked in water. They could no longer use them, leaving only a huge amount of money.
The Jin family sold their property to pay off their debts, but it was still a lot less. The Wang family was also kind and righteous, and they exempted the remaining debts. Seeing that the foundation passed down from ancestors was destroyed, the ancestors of the Jin family could not swallow this and led the family to settle down there. From then on, the mountain was opened.
Day after day, year after year, many of them were tortuous. Many people advised the ancestors of the Jin family, saying that when you want to open this way, you may not be one hundred if you die. How stupid is it? The ancestors of the Jin family said: "I will have a son when I die, and my son will have grandchildren when I die, and my descendants will follow one after another. The mountain will be opened."
This chisel took 150 years. Two of the mountains were removed, five of them were built to build a flight bridge, nineteen of them cut off the mountains, and countless ditches were filled on the ground. After five generations, the Jin family finally opened the mountain. After another twenty years of expansion, it was only now that it was.”
Shen Yuanjing sighed very much. He remembered the previous life of Liezi's "Yugong Moves Mountains" chapter. There was a helping Emperor there. But Mr. Jin completed such a feat with just one thought. He couldn't help but sigh: "The senior is determined to open up the mountain, so why is it not admirable? No wonder everyone is willing to pay the money and not have any disputes when they come here."
Mo Zhicheng smiled and said, "It's not exactly the case. This person's heart is complicated, both good and bad. Although everyone admires the ancestors of the Jin family for making a mountain, how could such a big piece of fat be here, so how could he not have any idea? The Jin family has developed to this point, and its power is just like the Qu family, otherwise the inn in front would have belonged to his family.
At that time, the Jin family had just finished the mountain. The young and strong family in the clan either died of exhaustion or were full of injuries. They were even weaker and had more people coveted, so they almost destroyed the clan. It was still the head of the Wang family of that generation that came forward to shock the heroes. Not only did they protect the Jin family, but they also promised to have five hundred years of management rights, which quelled the dispute.
So later, whenever the Wang family passed by, the Jin family not only did not accept any money, but also had to offer good gifts. One felt that they did not take any harm to the injustice and exempted debts. Two thoughts of maintaining their hearts to protect the family and protecting their family’s feelings. Three thanks for justice and allowing the Jin family to grow stronger.”
When Shen Yuanjing heard this, although he had never seen the Wang family except his mother, he couldn't help but feel good. Mo Zhicheng continued: "The Qu family was envious and followed the Wang family's advice and widened the second half of the road before he could take a good position to open the Chengyun Inn.
After the road was unobstructed, the number of goods between Pingzhou, Chengzhou and Yunzhou suddenly increased, and then it rose from the Xiazhou. More than a hundred years ago, if the Wang family had the intention to monopolize this road, no one would dare to object, but the Wang family did not bully their fellow men. Such a high righteousness, so everyone in Pingzhou admired it."
Shen Yuanjing smiled silently and said, "Brother Mo doesn't have to test anymore. I am indeed not from the Wang family. However, this time I went to Chengping, my relative was his family. My mother got married in the early years. More than ten years have passed, and I don't know if they recognize it or not."
Mo Zhicheng then suddenly realized and said, "I will definitely recognize it. The Wang family treats their own family well, and they are not a criminal offender, and they will accept it. Brother Chen is very handsome and has extraordinary talent. The Wang family is too happy, so how can they refuse? But this is the case, Brother Chen can't come to my Baitao Sect, which is a pity."
Shen Yuanjing said, "Brother Mo is a man in the countryside. What he has learned is shallow, so what talent does he have?" Mo Zhicheng shook his head and said, "Brother Chen is too humble. By the way, what should you and Mr. Wang Shiheng call him?"
"It should be my cousin, his father is my mother's cousin." Wang Wanrou didn't say much about her family, not to mention that Shen Yuanjing was still young at that time and did not have much memory left.
Cheng Jin said, "I'll just say that you are very similar to him, like a brother. But his eyebrows are lighter and his face is softer. You seem to be two points stronger than him."
He was not the first person to say that his cousin, who had never been masked, was similar to him. Shen Yuanjing couldn't help but look forward to it and asked about his story.
In Mo Zhicheng's explanation, he realized that this cousin is already twenty-six or seven years old this year, and is ranked among the "Three Masters of Wulin". He is not only famous in Pingzhou, but also in the whole province. He is known as the worry-free list of people and the land list is expected. He has been in the industry for ten years, and has traveled many places in the southeast, southwest and northwest, and has killed several innately.
Speaking of this, Shen Yuanjingqi said, "Innate? Isn't he not on the list? Why can he kill Innate?"
"Hahahaha!" Cheng Jin laughed beside him and said, "Brother Chen seems to have never been out of the world. There are only 156 people on the Tianchang List. Except for the realm of the Tianchang List, you will be on the list, the other two must have a record and a realm to be included in it.
There are still many omissions in the earth list, let alone the human list. There are hundreds of people in the thirteen states in the world, and at least two thousand innately, and even Pingzhou is even more than a hundred. Therefore, there are strong and weak in nature, such as the prince and the prince who are talented and intelligent, and have inherited, it is not uncommon to defeat the strong with weak."
Shen Yuanjing suddenly realized and said, "So that's it. My brother Daocheng has such a high skill and cannot be included in the list. He thought that the innate realm was as difficult as reaching the sky. Unexpectedly, this was the case."
Cheng Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Don't listen to me, just underestimate the innate. I am confident that before the age of sixty, I will enter that state, but I know that within ten years, it is impossible. You have seen that old man Qu, who is already over seventy years old and has no shortage of inheritance and perseverance, but I am still far from the innate, and I have no hope in this life."
Shen Yuanjing nodded. No matter where he was, the fewer people would go up. He asked, "How to divide the innate division?"
Cheng Jin hesitated and said, "I don't know very much. I only know that the unblocking of the Ren and Du meridians is the foundation, and then the whole body is wide open. After that, some people have no changes except for the deeper skills and the longer life span; some people can use internal strength to act on their own body, strengthen their bodies, and be smart and clear about their eyes."
"Then all the subsequent manifestations are the realm of those on the list?" Shen Yuanjing guessed.
"It's not like this. There is no difference between the two. It depends entirely on the individual." Cheng Jin sighed, looked at Shen Yuanjing and said, "Is it a bit strange? But the truth is that it is. It is precisely because of this that the innate way is difficult to guess."
Mo Zhicheng was also puzzled and asked, "So how to make sure that this person has entered the innate world? It can't be said by himself, or wait until he dies of old age before watching?"
Cheng Jin glared at him and said, "How is it possible? The innate energy has a characteristic, called invincible, breaking gold and breaking iron, and treating it as easy. Like a hundred forged swords, placed on the world, they are all good magic weapons, but they can be broken by touching them."
As he said that, he walked to the stone wall next to him, touched it, and said, "This stone wall is hard. We can only leave traces with swords. But the innate people can do it with their fingers. It is even more skillful, and it is not uncommon to leave handwriting."
