Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Chapter 103 Refugees (rd update, please subscribe)

The road from Ninghe County to Qingyuan County City is on the main official road.

Shi Yi and others came out of Changqing Temple and took a carriage to move forward.

Eight people, four carriages.

The abbot and two temple masters each had a carriage.

Shi Yi and his five disciples rode together in a carriage.

The personnel for the journey had already been arranged, so Shi Yi and the others didn't need to worry about it.

The disciples who followed him this time, like Shi Yi, were all Taoist priests.

Some of them had been there more than once, like the person who gave up his seat to Shi Yi, who had also been there many times. Therefore, they were not so interested in participating in the Qingyuan Temple Fair. After Song Jing offered some benefits, they agreed to give up their seat!

Shi Yi had met these four people before, but he was not very familiar with them. This was because Shi Yi had not practiced Taoism for a long time, and his daily practice time was different from that of these people. In addition, as Taoist priests, they no longer had to do menial tasks such as guarding the gate, so he did not have much contact with them in daily life.

In fact, if Shi Yi had practiced Taoism more slowly, he would have been assigned some menial tasks and might have come into contact with it, but it didn't take long for his soul to leave his body and he met the requirements to become a Taoist priest, so naturally he was not arranged for him in Changqing Temple.

Otherwise, the other Taoist children need to do miscellaneous tasks every day, burn incense and worship gods, sit in meditation, calm their minds and cultivate their nature, etc., step by step, they strive to sense souls, visualize gods, and strengthen souls.

After a few brief exchanges, they sat down separately, closed their eyes and relaxed, without much communication.

Shi Yi was not surprised to see this.

Those who want to go far in the practice of Taoism in Changqing Temple basically spend most of their time and energy on practice.

This is very consistent with the appearance of a monk.

His master Song Jing is a good example. When he is not busy with other trivial matters, he basically practices.

The attitude towards practice is very pious.

These disciples who went to Qingyuan County to participate in the Qingyuan Temple Fair this time were all very outstanding in Changqing Temple. They were all in the realm of Shenyou. As to whether they were all in the realm of Riyou, Shi Yi could not confirm this because he had not had much dealings with them.

However, having been able to cultivate to this level, one naturally wants to go further on the path of cultivation.

Sit cross-legged with your eyes closed, and as long as you don't get into deep practice, you won't be affected by the environment.

A specific environment is only required in some special circumstances or breakthroughs.

The carriage was moving at a fast pace, not only because the official road was easy to travel on, but also because there was a formation arranged on the carriage, which made it move faster.

Shi Yi didn't notice it at first, until the carriage moved forward quickly, he found that there was a faint blue aura on the carriage, which made the horses run faster and the carriage more stable.

There is no technology in this world, but there is still Taoism.

What Shi Yi saw now was just a simple application of Taoism.

As far as Shi Yi knows, the history of the human race recorded in the Central World is longer than that of the human race on Blue Star. Many powerful people were born there, and the methods of cultivation are also varied.

However, as time goes by and the world changes, the path of cultivation will become relatively unified. There are mainstream cultivation methods, but some auxiliary cultivation methods are also preserved.

This method of making travel convenient is just one of the applications.

Shi Yi observed it for a long time, but was unable to understand it, because it involved knowledge of formations, which Shi Yi had never come into contact with and was very unfamiliar to him.

The carriage was moving very fast. According to the coachman, it would take two days to reach Qingyuan County City, which was faster than riding a horse.

Before nightfall on the first day, they arrived outside Hongze County.

This is the county town on the edge of Ninghe County, closer to Qingyuan County.

For Shi Yi, this was an unfamiliar place. If Shi Yi still had anchor points left, he could have left one, but at this point, all eight anchor points on the panel had been used up!

Besides, he already had a suitable identity at this time, so there was no need to choose Hongze County as an anchor point.

When he arrived at the city gate, Shi Yi was attracted by the movement there.

There was a large group of refugees outside Hongze County, all of them were pale and thin, and looked very pitiful.

Shi Yi listened carefully to the conversation of the people waiting to enter the city, and only then did he know the identities of these people.

When the Yonghuai River flooded, the homes of the people living near it were washed away, and they fled and became refugees.

If you want to survive, come to Hongze County.

It is said that some refugees are already heading towards Qingyuan County City.

At this time, there were so many soldiers guarding the gate of Hongze County to prevent refugees from entering the city.

The refugees are pitiful, but no one will let them into the city because they will become the source of unrest once they enter the city.

In order to survive, these refugees often steal, rob food, and kill people.

The dozen or so corpses hanging by the city gate were used by the soldiers defending the city to serve as an example to others.

However, the Hongze County government did not completely ignore these refugees. They provided them with porridge every day to give them hope of survival and prevent them from going to a dead end.

After listening to the general idea, Shi Yi stopped paying attention.

He was just a disciple of Changqing Temple and had neither the qualifications nor the ability to take care of these things.

The government in Hongze County and the Great Zhou court should be in charge of these matters.

Some refugees saw several large horse-drawn carriages passing by and wanted to get closer to ask for food, but before they could get close, they were suppressed by a force and could not get close to the carriages.

Shi Yi noticed that it was the temple master Li Yunxuan who took action.

He didn't know what kind of Taoist magic it was, but he confirmed that the source of the blue light was in the first carriage, and the person sitting in the first carriage was the temple master Li Yunxuan.

Some of them did not follow the long queue, but walked to the special passage.

When the soldiers guarding the gate of Hongze County saw the identity token that the coachman took out, they did not check it carefully and let them pass.

The city of Hongze was different from the outside. Although it was almost nightfall, it was still very lively. There were many pedestrians on the road, and the speed of the carriages had slowed down a lot.

Shi Yi saw the scene outside through the curtain of the carriage.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of an inn.

The accommodation for these people had already been arranged in advance, so Shi Yi and others didn't have to worry about these things at all.

No wonder Song Jing told him at that time that he just needed to follow the temple master and others.

When they arrived at the inn, Shi Yi thought that they would have a meal together, but later he found out that he was overthinking!
After they arrived at their respective rooms, the meals were delivered to their rooms and eaten separately.

But this is not bad for Shi Yi because the accommodation is separate.

He can go back to Blue Star later and reply if there is any information. If there is no information, don't worry about it.

At least Shi Yi cannot let people feel that he is missing!

It’s because he is still a student, otherwise it wouldn’t be so troublesome.
