Chapter 388 Chen Xuan Pays Homage to the Mountain
Chen Xuan arrived at Anshan.
Everywhere you look, people live and work in peace and contentment, and are happy and contented.
Tall buildings stand in the capital of Anyue. They are made of neither stone nor wood, but seem to be cast from a mixture, forming a seamless whole.
Wherever Chen Xuan passed, he saw people riding on some kind of iron vehicle and moving freely on the wide streets.
That iron horse did not require any oxen or horse power, but was pulled by a small chain.
Moreover, it is many times simpler than ox carts and horse carts.
The only drawback is that it cannot haul heavy objects.
But when Chen Xuan turned around, he saw another vendor driving a steel cart, dragging heavy steel. He just turned a large round axle in his hand and the cart moved forward automatically.
Even if the load is thousands or tens of thousands of pounds of steel, it can still move forward smoothly and turn flexibly.
There are also twinkling lights in front of many shops.
Chen Xuan initially thought it was a torch.
But when you get closer, you will find that they are actually strings of crystal clear threads.
It is quite magical. The merchant just presses a wall button remotely at home, and the crystal clear ball at the end of the string will light up steadily.
"Spiritual energy fluctuations... could this be... some new technique?"
Chen Xuan was like a newborn baby. Faced with the various differences of An Yue, he only felt surprised and curious.
After being examined, he walked in the capital of Anyue, and because of his tattered clothes, he was mistaken for a beggar.
"Hey, young man!"
"It's almost autumn, and the wind is biting cold. If you don't have clothes to keep warm, you'll probably get seriously ill."
A kind old man came over and handed Chen Xuan a thick coat.
"It's strange. There haven't been any beggars in Anyue City for many years..."
The old man felt sorry for Chen Xuan when he saw his dusty face, so he turned around and asked his wife to bring him some food.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly clasped his hands together and bowed:
"Thank you for your kindness, old man. I have some cultivation skills and will not be infected by the cold wind."
"I appreciate the old man's kindness."
The old man frowned.
"This young man is quite respectable!"
"Take it!"
The old man and his wife stuffed clothes and food into Chen Xuan's hands without saying a word.
Seeing the old man's firm attitude, Chen Xuan didn't want to reject his good intentions.
He put his hands together and chanted: "Buddha has mercy on me. I am grateful to you for your kindness, even though we met by chance..."
I recited a passage of scripture for the old man and prayed for his well-being.
The old man was very patient. He waited for Chen Xuan to finish reading, and then spoke earnestly as if he was looking at his own junior:
"Young man, any doctrine is meaningless if you are hungry. You can't support yourself just by reciting sutras and chanting."
"If you are short of money and have no way to make ends meet, why not find a factory outside the capital, sign up as a laborer, learn a skill, it is better than living in the open air."
The old man looked at Chen Xuan's tattered clothes and felt a little pity.
In this world, there are very few ascetic monks, so the simple old man thought that Chen Xuan just had a hard time making a living.
And Anyue is so rich and powerful nowadays, not to mention the capital of Anyue, even in Qianzhou and Xuzhou, there have been no beggars for a long time.
Under the benevolent policy of Emperor Anyue, the Anyue court established many "new factories" to mass-produce the newly researched "new things".
Even, a new concept was specially created.
His nickname is Lingke.
The path of spiritual science is advancing at an almost explosive rate as the whole country conducts research on it.
This also leads to the continuous updating of new research objects, which increases the demand for new factories.
There are a lot of new factories being built and we are very short of manpower now. The salaries are generous and food and accommodation are provided.
Moreover, it was directly managed by the imperial court, with strict rules and transparent procedures, and there was rarely any bullying or injustice.
No matter how poor a person is, as long as he is willing to work hard, he can find a job and support himself.
Even for people with physical disabilities, the court established "light labor factories" to teach them simple tasks and provide them with food and accommodation.
We will never let the people under our rule have no means of survival, or starve to death or freeze to death.
In the past, these things were something that ordinary people would never dare to think about.
As a result, although Anyue's territory is now growing, those conquered foreign countries in the distance have never dared to have the slightest desire to resist.
Why?
It's not just a crushing force of force, but also because Anyue's policies are what the people want!
The people finally began to get rid of the miserable days of the past and began to truly see hope.
Anyone who dares to oppose and obstruct the implementation of this benevolent policy will be the enemy of all the people!
"Besides, if you are willing to practice cultivation, why don't you go to the mountain and seek advice from the mountain god?"
"If I succeed in cultivation in the future, I can go to the border and fight those monsters!"
The old man pointed in the distant direction, as if he also wanted to go to the battlefield to fight those man-eating monsters.
Chen Xuan listened with an open mind, without any rebuttal or argument.
The old man is thinking from his own perspective. Although he does not understand the situation, he still has good intentions.
If you get hung up on arguing, you will end up getting angry and ruining the other person's kindness.
Moreover, he came here to find the mountain god of Anshan and his wife whom he cruelly abandoned.
After bidding farewell to the two old men, Chen Xuan continued to walk through the capital city and headed towards Anshan.
Along the way, many people saw how miserable he looked and gave him food and clothing, as well as some money.
Even though Chen Xuan refused and apologized repeatedly, he was still stuffed with a bag of food and covered with several layers of old but warm coat.
Even because of his sudden appearance as a 'destitute beggar', he alarmed the officials of Anyue Capital.
Upon hearing that there was a destitute beggar in their jurisdiction, several officials came without saying a word on their spiritual bicycles.
Bigger and faster than regular bicycle wheels.
There is a small spell box at the rear of the car, engraved with unique spells, which uses spiritual energy as kinetic energy to assist the chain in pushing the rear wheel to rotate.
After the officials arrived, they greeted him and almost arranged Chen Xuan's subsequent accommodation.
The scene was lively, after all, beggars hadn't been seen in decades.
Chen Xuan was so frightened that he quickly apologized and left.
He also quietly put on the old clothes given to him by the people, and dared not parade around in public anymore.
Looking at the sincere concerns on the faces of the people of Anyue and the harmonious atmosphere, Chen Xuan looked around the capital of Anyue and was amazed.
'A time of great peace and harmony!'
The people living here are rich and stable, and lead happy lives.
Moreover, the research on "new things" is always moving forward.
No matter in which aspect, there is a huge difference compared with the outside world's technology.
The concept of Anyue as one family is not only for the original connection between Anshan and Qianzhou, but is also deeply engraved in the hearts of Anyue people.
A strong country, a benevolent emperor, innovative ways, enthusiastic people, and a heart of universal harmony.
The whole world will belong to An Yue, this is the general trend.
Chen Xuan recited Buddhist scriptures as he passed through the capital city. After walking for some time, he finally arrived at the foot of Anshan Mountain.
A silver wolf, as big as a calf, was crawling at the foot of the mountain, as if it had been waiting for a long time.
"The mountain god said that if you want to go up the mountain, you must first make your intention known."
"He said that we should speak from the true meaning of our heart."
The silver wolf spoke in human language and stood guard in the middle of the mountain road.
Since the group of big black dogs, naturally many creatures in the mountains have become enlightened.
This silver wolf is one of them.
And at this time.
The top of Anshan.
Li Yuan invited the sick woman he had rescued that year.
With the treatment of the magic medicine, the woman has already recovered.
Even though she had experienced the pain of being abandoned due to her critical illness, this woman still had a strong heart.
She didn't complain about her fate, but she didn't look for her husband's family again either.
Over the years, with the help of the Anshan creatures, he lived quietly in the capital. Later, he became self-reliant and opened a shop with good business.
Occasionally, I would come to the mountain to listen to the lectures and make some food for the spirit animals. My life was peaceful and my mood was stable.
At least, in her opinion, these days are much better than the difficult days when she was seriously ill and poor in the past.
"Chen Xuan finally realized that he had been lost and made a choice that was not in his heart, so he came to find you."
"I don't know what you mean, so what do you think?"
Li Yuan respected this strong woman and gave her the right to choose.
