From a mere orphan girl to the esteemed Heavenly Emperor, she walked this path for nearly two millennia. Initially, Fu Li only wanted to live a stable life with her master in the barbaric era of th...
Chapter 60: Primordial Navigation That is a very mysterious place...
It was a profoundly mysterious space, one completely unrelated to the cyberpunk imaginings of Fuli's subconscious. It resembled towering mountains, flowing waters; birds and beasts chirped, and countless treasures shone.
Like an immortal, like a god, like a saint.
Not an immortal, not a god, not a saint.
Fu Li had not seen the primordial chaos, but seemed to be in the beginning of time.
She unconsciously stretched out her hand and gently tapped a place where she didn't know whether it was a mountain or water.
The brilliant light scattered into starlight, merging into four radiant ancient divine patterns - the prehistoric network.
Such a simple and unpretentious name instantly pulled Fu Li out of that mysterious and illusory situation.
When I looked again, I saw an illusory screen appear in front of me. On the screen was a vast feng shui map with blessed places as symbols.
Because the map is too big and the screen is too small, the words on it are so densely packed that they look like ants and make people dizzy.
Fu Li subconsciously placed her right hand on a part of the map, and with three fingers she pulled the screen to expand in their respective directions. The map was actually enlarged.
She was filled with delight and admiration, secretly admiring the ingenuity of the Three Saints of Xuanmen in connecting the past and future. Unbeknownst to her, the Three Saints were observing her every move, beyond her consciousness.
As she used three fingers to zoom in on the map, Tongtian Patriarch raised an eyebrow and smiled, "So it's possible. Big Brother, Second Brother, our feng shui can be even more refined."
It turns out that when the Three Saints refined this magic weapon for controlling the Internet, they deliberately left a backdoor so that the first people who used it could make changes to it at will.
The master control tool is in their hands. No matter who made the alteration or how, they will have feedback.
If there are good ones, they will naturally adopt them; if there are sloppy changes, they will just discard them.
Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly frowned: "What is she doing?"
It turned out that after Fu Li enlarged the map, he saw "Emei Mountain Xuling Cave" and clicked it.
No response.
She reached out and clicked again, but still no response.
This magic weapon was created by three saints. The three saints did not guess what she was referring to, so the magic weapon naturally could not react and could not give any response.
Tongtian Patriarch was the most direct and simply said, "I'll go in and ask."
As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of green light and appeared in front of Fu Li. He asked with a smile, "Little disciple, what are you talking about?"
"Master?" Fu Li came to her senses and hurried to greet him, but Tongtian Sect Master raised his hand to hold him up. The Sect Master smiled and said, "It's just you and me here, no need for formalities."
Fu Li knew that he had a free-spirited personality and was not bound by etiquette, so she did not insist. Instead, she pointed to the sign for Mount Emei and said, "I thought there would be a brief introduction to Emei Cave Heaven on this feng shui map."
"Introduction?" Tongtian Patriarch tilted his head, raised his hand and touched the place, and two lines of small words appeared in the upper right corner of the logo:
Xuling Cave Heaven in Mount Emei is where Zhao Gongming of Jiejiao practiced. It has four sacred peaks, the highest of which is over a thousand feet high.
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's it." Fu Li nodded excitedly.
It feels so good to be a part of a saint's project!
Tongtian Patriarch asked: "What other ideas do you have?"
Fu Li asked, "Now that we have a global map, can we add a navigation function?"
"Navigation?" The leader was a little confused. "Guide means guidance, what does 'hang' mean?"
"It's the flight path. Adding navigation to the map can avoid the trouble of not knowing the way."
"I understand." The leader snapped his fingers, and a cloud-shaped seal appeared in the lower left corner of the map. "Where do you want to go now?"
Fu Li pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to Mount Emei."
“Click on this cloud.”
Fu Li followed suit and stretched out her hand to tap it. The auspicious cloud seal turned into a small sword with a hollow lotus pattern outlined with gold thread at each end of the sword.
She only took one look and realized that it was an input box.
There was no keyboard, because there was no need for one. She tentatively tapped the lotus flower on the left, and the words "Jin'ao Island, Boundless" automatically appeared within the lotus flower.
I tapped the right side again, and the lotus pattern flashed, but there was no change.
The leader reminded: "Where you want to go, think about it in your heart."
Fu Li understood, thinking to herself, "Emei Mountain, Great Emei Peak," and nodded again. This time, the lotus pattern responded, and shimmering golden light converged to form the six words.
At the same time, on the global map, a small sword with a green tassel appeared somewhere on Jin'ao Island, and a lotus-shaped jade pendant was worn on the top of the tassel.
She couldn't help but turn sideways to look behind Tongtian Sect Leader and confirmed that the small sword on the map was actually the Qingping Sword on the Sect Leader's back.
The leader smiled and said, "Use local materials." Then he asked her, "Shall we leave now?"
Fu Li had just nodded when she was already flying into the air on the white clouds.
Tongtian Sect Leader stood beside her with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows like the bright moon, his eyes like cold stars, and his half-loose hair floating behind him. His movements were like pine and cypress in the wind, with a character that would not break for a thousand years; he was also like a rock standing in the sun, with a will that would not be taken away for ten thousand years.
The leader waved his sleeves and laughed loudly, "Let's go then."
The two men moved according to the sound, riding the wind and traveling thousands of miles in an instant.
Fortunately, Fu Li was always keeping an eye on the small Qingping sword on the map and knew that the sword's movement speed was always a little faster than their flying speed.
It was obvious that Tongtian Patriarch was flying according to the guidance of the sword mark. Otherwise, he could have been even faster.
It wasn't long before we arrived at Da'e Peak.
Looking at the familiar cave, Fu Li was very surprised. He looked at Tong Tian Jiaozhu with admiration and praised loudly, "Master, you are amazing! This navigation is exactly as I imagined!"
The leader puffed out his chest proudly, looked around and said, "It's been a long time since I've been to Emei. Since I'm here today, as your host, you should at least offer me a cup of tea, right?"
Fu Li suddenly came back to his senses and said with a somewhat annoyed smile, "Of course, of course, it's my fault for neglecting it. Master, would you like to stay on the mountain for a while, or would you like to come down with me to take a look?"
Tongtian Patriarch waved his hand and said, "All blessed places are similar. What's the point of staying on the mountain? Let's go down the mountain."
At this time, the four young boys who stayed behind, Zhaobao, Nazhen, Zhaocai and Lishi, heard the noise and rushed over to see who dared to trespass into Mount Emei.
When they saw Fu Li, the four of them lost their momentum and breathed a sigh of relief.
Nazhen Tongzi smiled and said, "So it's Senior Sister who has returned. Senior Sister, isn't the Master with you?"
Fu Li coughed, winked at the four of them with a stern face, and said in a deep voice, "Four junior brothers, why don't you come and pay your respects to the leader?"
The four of them were startled and looked at the other person.
Zhao Bao and Na Zhen had come to Emei Mountain earlier and had met Tong Tian Sect Master. Seeing that it was indeed the Sect Master’s carriage, they hurried forward to greet him: “Little boy greets the Sect Master.”
Zhaocai and Li Shi followed closely behind and also came to pay homage.
The leader smiled and said, "Everyone, get up. I'm here with your senior sister to take a look today. There's no need to make a fuss. We'll be heading down the mountain right now."
"Yes." The four of them responded and stood up tremblingly. The treasure-calling boy asked cautiously, "Do the leader and senior sister need any children to serve them?"
Fu Li looked at Tong Tian Jiaozhu and saw him shake his head slightly. Then he said to the four people, "No need. I can accompany you here. You can all go back and don't delay the things that the teacher has instructed."
The four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, bowed again, and then took their leave.
Tongtian Patriarch curled his lips, a little unhappy: "Am I that scary?"
Fu Li smiled and soothed him, "Master is very approachable and especially caring towards the younger generation. They are just inexperienced and timid. Master, there is no need to bother with them."
So the leader was happy, and instead of riding on a cloud, he followed Fu Li down the mountain on foot and came to the place where humans and demons lived at the foot of the mountain.
As the population grows, the area developed at the foot of the mountain becomes wider and wider. It has now gradually developed from the original small village into a large town with two markets.
If we can develop steadily at this pace, I think we will be able to develop into a densely populated city in a few years.
Emei is a blessed place and fairy mountain, but it is filled with the mundane atmosphere of the human world.
Tongtian Sect Master could tell from afar that this place was a mixture of humans and demons. Before he even got close, he restrained his spiritual light and looked like an ordinary Qi cultivator.
In order not to disturb his interest, Fu Li cast a layer of ignoring spell on herself, making people around her subconsciously unable to see her clearly, and would not think of seeing him clearly.
Most people who lived in and around the town were acquaintances. Even if they couldn't remember each other's names, they had at least met each other.
There were some unfamiliar faces, but they were few and far between. The sudden arrival of such a person not only drew the enthusiastic welcome of the street vendors, but also the men and women who had brought their stools and sat at the gates of the courtyards to enjoy the cool air. They all took the initiative to greet him, offering him their own tea and offering him a drink.
The leader was a generous and unconcerned person, and he did not mind the bitterness and tastelessness of ordinary tea. He really accepted the invitation and pulled Fu Li to sit over.
He also praised Fu Li in a low voice: "My little disciple, the people here are so simple and honest, which shows that you have a good governance."
Fu Li's expression was strange for a moment, but she didn't say much, just smiled at him obediently.
A quarter of an hour later, Tongtian Patriarch overturned his hasty conclusion and sent a message to Fuli: Who taught you all this?
Fu Li smiled secretly and said without hesitation: "Master, this is exactly what I taught you."
It turns out that although people are enthusiastic, it is not without reason.
From the moment the two sat down, the men and women who were enjoying the coolness under the big tree gathered around them in twos and threes. They seemed to be talking to the distant guests enthusiastically, but in fact they were trying to get their words in a subtle way.
The leader's mind is so sharp, how could he not notice it?
He spent two quarters of an hour dispelling these people's doubts and even learned from them the size of the local population and what laws and moral codes were implemented.
After saying goodbye to these people, the leader smiled and asked, "Did you make those rules?"
"Yes, they are my disciples." Fu Li said, "Without rules, there will be no order. Within the rules, we can let them do as they please."
The leader sighed, "Although these people have bad intentions, they are still a bit too cunning to go."
Fu Li didn't take it seriously and said sternly, "You shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others."
Tongtian Patriarch laughed: "Why do you always have so many reasons to say?"
The two walked around the market but didn't buy anything.
Those crude handicrafts were what ordinary people needed in their daily lives. People bartered with each other, exchanging things they didn’t need temporarily for products they urgently needed.
They don't need these, so naturally they won't buy them.
As for the beautiful-looking porcelain, bamboo weaving, bamboo carvings and snow-white salt, they are all defective products from the Fuli industry.
The real fine products were either bought to the Qi-refining masters of the three realms through Zhao Gongming's trade route, or sold to the princes and nobles of the human world through Fuli's trade route.
If Tongtian Patriarch is interested, she has plenty of good ones for him to choose from.
