Chapter 9: Inexplicable Perseverance [3/3]
When Zhunti restrained his divine light, he was like an ordinary underwater monk and entered the mermaid city through the Zhenmen along the water.
Because it is built on the water veins, the city is full of spiritual energy. The magnificent city gate as high as a hundred feet is enough for most aquatic races to enter.
Even if the Aquarium is too large to be able to be of good size, there are even simple Ruyi talismans at the city gate that can be purchased, which is enough to meet the requirements of any Aquarium that is opened with wisdom.
In this way, these monks at the bottom of the aquarium who could not enter Wanbao City were attracted by the Mermaid Sea. Although these people may not be very rich, the accumulation of small amounts is enough to make the Mermaid clan profitable.
Zhunti slowly floated into the city along the water flow. Looking around, there were some strange creatures.
There are cuttlefish with countless human hands, sea pythons with human brains, and clam girl whose shells are flashing and floating by. Instead, Cunti, the innate Taoist body, is the most annoying among them. Because anyone who can transform into Taoist body has already gone to Wanbao City.
Zhunti looked at these creatures, swimming casually with the water flow, which was extremely flexible. Moreover, the construction of the Mermaid Sea City was extremely huge, with nearly a thousand feet apart between the houses on both sides.
Starting from the gates of the eight directions, straight roads lead directly to the inner city. The inner city is the residence of the elderly, weak, women and children. The mermaids and the young and strong men and the city guards have just lived in the outer city.
Since some monks from the Mermaid clan learned about the methods of practice in business, they have found that it is even convenient to use it in the sea market.
Even a Shang Palace was set up in various sea cities, with monks in the business path to exchange treasure money for many aquatic monks who came and went.
If a monk understands the method of business practice, it will be even more convenient. As long as the money is produced in Wanbao City, it can be passed through the son of the Mermaid Sea City without any obstacles.
Li Canghai did not expect that the business system he founded back then had such a profound impact on the mermaid clan.
Zhunti saw a clam girl with her own eyes, spreading her clam shell and spitting out a pile of spiritual beads, and then happily exchanged for a bunch of magic treasures, and bought various spiritual objects in the houses on both sides.
There was even a huge octopus. In the blink of an eye, he raised his knife and chopped off several of his tentacles, holding Zhaobao's money with a relaxed look on his face, and squandering it on the sea market.
The mermaids in the city were all erect and attracted the tribes under the sea, so they paid the money and delivered the goods in the blink of an eye.
Zhunti watched the various situations under the sea with interest, feeling that they were different from the human race.
Then, Zhunti was as if he had entered a no-man state, and he was freely traveling to and from the military camps, military shops, and textile shops of the mermaid clan. Looking at the various mermaids with all kinds of craftsmen, Zhunti couldn't help but think.
Suddenly a whisper came, reminding Zhunti: "Fellow Taoist comes to my East China Sea, why don't you know that, so that I can do my best to be the landlord~!"
Hearing this sound, Zhunti couldn't help but laugh and said, "I am just quiet and thinking about moving, and I walk around casually, how dare I disturb my fellow Taoist lords!"
Li Canghai raised his lips slightly when he heard this, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you can walk far enough!"
Zhunti seemed to be unobedient Li Canghai's ridicule, and still said calmly: "Yes, if not for this, I wouldn't know that friends and the world have already established such a situation."
Li Canghai smiled and then said, "I dare not, I dare not ask the saint to think about it at some scenes." After saying that, he remained silent and just stared at Zhunti quietly.
Suddenly, the air was solemn, and Zhunti's face was not as casual as before.
After a long time, Li Canghai spoke: "The civilization of the mermaid clan is developed, and no foreign tribes must intervene!"
When Zhunti heard this, he smiled and said, "This is very true!"
For Zhunti, the mermaid clan with Li Canghai as his backer was not something he could knead at will, and he never thought of taking the mermaid clan under his command!
Now that he knows Li Canghai’s bottom line, it means that he does not mind Buddhism advancing eastward and developing believers among the mermaid clan.
For Buddhism, which has been blocked by the Sanqing, this treatment is much better.
Although Zhunti would not give up his development among the human race, he was also quite moved by the prospects of the Mermaid clan. He did not want to miss any of them, and he would have a good opportunity to grow and grow in the Mermaid clan.
Of course, he did not expect Zhunti's answer.
He was not like the Three Pure Ones who established their own great sects. Even with the addition of these two Western saints, he could not shake his luck among the mermaid clan.
Looking at Zhunti leaving with a smile on his face, Li Canghai couldn't help but shook his head helplessly and sighed: "It seems that the world will have a lot of trouble in the future! I don't know if Chang Xi is ready..."
Speaking of the human race, we have to say that it has indeed developed rapidly recently.
Since Yan discovered the seeds planted unintentionally and began to gradually bear ears, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Then he went into a long and repeated attempt, hoping to find the seed that was most suitable for the human race.
Xuandu patiently stayed by his side, explaining the principles of the world and all things to him, but never directly told him how to do it.
So one year, two years...
After decades of guidance, Yan finally cultivated the seeds he wanted. During this period, he felt desperate because of countless failures; he also suffered from the starvation of his tribe members and wanted to give up.
But in the end, he wiped his tears and continued to start his unfinished work.
After decades, Yan was already old. In the Suiren tribe, everyone only thought he was a strange man, and he was still on the isolated island with all kinds of strange things.
But one day, the weird man took a handful of ordinary seeds and told everyone that he had found a new food for the human race, everyone did not take it seriously, but just thought he was unconscious.
When the efforts of this life were suspected by the tribe members, Yan felt wronged, but he was not discouraged at all. He believed that as long as he continued to work hard, sooner or later, the tribe members would recognize its true value.
He dragged his body, which had already begun to grow old, and slowly opened up a clearing in the eyes of the tribe members who were puzzled.
Then, just like before, a fire burned away the weeds on it, used the simplest tools to dig up the pits of soil, and then poured a handful of water, quietly waiting for the news of the wind and rain.
Spring goes and autumn comes, under the noses of the tribe members, strange weeds grow in the strange open space!
But Yan couldn't help but burst into tears when he looked at the heavy grass ears. After he boiled the corn in water, he brought food to the tribe members again.
After eating the rough corn rice, the leader felt that although the taste was very ordinary, it was actually the food needed by the tribe; it was food that could be grown in the territory without hunting outside!
Thinking of this, every tribe who ate corn rice was shocked.
Suddenly, the leader of the Suiren tribe came to Yan and said seriously: "Yan, you are right. You are more suitable to be this leader than me now!
Don't refuse, because this is your responsibility!"
Yan looked at the solemn leader, then turned around and looked at the tribe members around him with anticipation, and his heart was mixed for a moment. Finally, he looked straight into the leader's eyes and finally nodded heavily.
