Chapter 52 The Open Heaven Bible

The next moment, the White Lotus monk left the Zhenbao's head and smiled bitterly: "True treasure, the survival and demise of my Wutai Mountain Manjushri Taoist Orthodox Constitution is up to you!"

Zhenbao was shocked and shouted: "Uncle Master, you are the highest-level person in Wutai. You have entered the realm of colorless cultivation..."

"The supernatural powers are not as good as destiny in heaven. How can Buddhism eliminate cause and effect? ​​Today, I will use my body to stop it..." As he said that, a white lotus flew out from his head, and a golden Bodhisattva sat upright on the white lotus. It was the image of this monk.

The golden light illuminated ten feet of land, and the sky was filled with fragrant rain treasures. Then, the monk's Dharma body rushed up, but was swallowed into his stomach by the dragon's mouth.

With a loud bang, a golden light exploded, and a layer of golden light was plated into the abdomen of the dragon. The golden light continued to spread, and the entire dragon was dyed through in a blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, the golden light and the dragon disappeared completely.

At this time, the body of the White Lotus Monk was blown by the wind, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into ashes...

Monk Zhenbao knelt on the ground and chanted a mantra in a low voice. In the mountains, the bell rang again. This time I bid farewell to this monk who defended the way with death...

Jiezhou held fifty or sixty days in succession, even if the Luotian Festival ended. The world's high Taoism gathered in a city, compiled the fundamental classics of Taoism and sorted out the Taoism doctrines. This time, it was not like before, when a few people worked behind closed doors, but the Taoism sect gathered to ask questions. Under the same system, if there were any problems, they would ask each other and argue with the scriptures until one side won, compiled them into the classics, and became the fundamental doctrine that the Taoism sects were popular in the Taoism sects.

This Dharma Assembly is of great significance, almost no less than the six collections of Buddhist history. It perfected the entire theoretical system of Taoism, and at the suggestion of Wen Fei, it decided to compile the "Bible of Kaitian". It is probably similar to the Taoist sect, but this Taoist sect is very different from later generations.

When Ji Xiaolan was compiling the "Siku Quanshu" in later generations, he said that the Taoist classics were trivial and the system was incomplete. This time, the compilation of the "Kaitian Bible" was compiled into a book under the guidance of a complete theoretical system.

Wen Fei intervened, and Zhao Ji would never have the chance to be Emperor Taoist Emperor or Taoist leader in his life. However, this person's enthusiasm for Taoism did not change at all, and he participated in the entire compilation almost throughout the process.

If the ministers had not urged Zhao Ji to return to the capital many times, it would have been a solution for the emperor to stay outside! This guy almost didn't want to leave.

The Dharma Assembly ended, and the entire work of compiling the "Kingtian Bible" was not completed. This guy had a very complicated project that lasted for thirteen years before it was finally completed. At this time, from a theoretical point of view, Taoism was already a very complete religion. Of course, these are just later stories!

After heavy rain these days, the water in the salt pond was full again. At this time, the weather was sunny, and it was just right to open the beds to dry the salt. The salt produced in the decomposition pond began to be sold to all parts of the world.

Wen Fei volunteered to take charge of Jiechi himself. Zhao Ji only thought Wen Fei was short of money and wanted to manage Jiechi, so he pulled some oil and water from it. He smiled and replied, but he didn't know that Wen Fei had many ways to make money. He came purely to disgust Xixia.

The quality of the blue and white salt produced in Xixia and other places is excellent. The taste of this natural mineral salt is better than the salt eaten in later generations.

It was sold to the Song Dynasty every year. It was the largest sect of the Western Xia Dynasty. Since Emperor Taizong, the ban on the green and white salt of the Western Xia Dynasty has not been successful, but instead caused the Western Xia to launch several armed forces.

This time, Wen Fei deliberately destroyed Xixia. On the one hand, he wanted to avenge himself, but who made those Xixia monks assassinate him several times? On the other hand, he just didn't like Xixia. In addition, he had been using the Human Emperor's statement to seduce Zhao Ji and pacify the world. Of course, he had to find a way to weaken the power of Xixia.

The best way is to improve the quality of salt and reduce the price. In this way, even if you don’t have to ban salt, the green and white salt in Xixia will not be easy to sell. This method is much more wise than he who has worked so hard to get from modern salt transportation to the time and space of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Originally, the traditional method of salt production in the pond was used to solve the pond, using manual labor and relying on the weather. Every year in early spring, salt work entered the pond. Floors were repaired to wash the ditch and dry salt, eliminated the silt mud, changed the belly, and completed the surface of the bed. At the end of August and September, after the salt was dried, it was fighting nests, punched the trunks, and renovated the bed.

Jiechi is connected to the Fen River in the north, and is separated by Zhongtiao Mountain in the south. The climate is warm and the temperature is also high. The climate wind direction is most related to salt. When there is a south wind and east wind, salt can be formed overnight. The salt flowers crystallize, as bright as weaving shells, just like the proverb that Jiechi is spreading, "When the south wind blows, it will become salt in the distance."

If the rain is light, the particles will be more vivid, and it will become rainwater and salt; if there is too much rain, the sunlight is insufficient and the evaporation is reduced, the salt color will be dark; if there is a northeast wind or southwest wind, the salt flowers will not float, and the whole bed is like boiled porridge, which tastes bitter and is not edible. You can only scrape it outside the bed and wait for the wind direction to change and re-inject water and introduce seeds.

Wen Fei originally thought this method was too stupid and wanted to do the salt-drying method that is often mentioned in time travel novels. He just tried it himself and realized that most time travel novels are nonsense.

I remember that in the famous time travel novel, pig's feet reformed well salt in Sichuan and turned into salt drying. In fact, I don't know that salt drying has a great relationship with climate conditions. The weather in Sichuan is foggy and rainy and humid, and it's like dreaming to dry salt drying.

Wen Fei ran back to modern time and space to check the modern salt making methods, and was stunned. This modern pharmaceutical method requires a lot of machinery, vacuum tanks, boilers and other things. It is still quite troublesome to do.

It is still much more convenient to make salt by this method, as long as there is wind, it is enough.

The key is that the wind direction is very related to the yield and quality of the salt pond. Therefore, Jiechi not only worships the gods, but also worships the salt wind gods. It is to ask the gods to bless and adjust the wind direction.

Now Wen Fei is in charge, and it is spring and summer again. The salt wind god is naturally very hard-working. Every day, the southeast wind blows, and the salt quality is excellent.

Wen Fei simply asked Zhao Ji to issue an order to divide the pool god into two, and found several obedient ghost immortals from the Luoyang Yinsi, entered Jiechi, and became the new pool god. He conferred the Dongchi god as Duke Zibao and the Xichi god as Duke Huikang.

He also appointed the god of Yanfeng as the Marquis of Jianbao and the god of Ganquan as the Lord of Puji. He also established the Guan Gong Temple and the City God of the Yinsi of Jiezhou. All the gods of Jiezhou were under the jurisdiction of the Great Ghost Emperor.

This is not counting. In ancient times, salt transportation was also a big problem.

They are all shipped in sacks and transported to the Sansheng District of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan by mules and horses. They traveled for a long distance, and the gaps in the sacks are very large, and impurities are often mixed with. In addition, the porters along the way sell secretly, mix sand and soil, and white salt turns black salt, which is filthy and cannot be eaten. They must be washed with clean water and eaten. There is still a phenomenon of stealing when staying in a hotel along the way. (To be continued.)
