Beauty Comic Cultivation Record

Yuhang Town is located in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many water systems in the south, with rivers and canals crisscrossing and lakes everywhere. There are countless small towns like this in the south of the Yangtze River.
There is a poem that says, "A good rain knows when to fall, and it comes in spring."
Yuhang Town is rainy, with drizzles all over the place, like smoke and fog. Renting a black-sailed boat and fishing while enjoying the beautiful scenery in the rain is a unique experience.

Over the years, the government has conscripted laborers every year to dredge the rivers, making the river systems in the south of the Yangtze River more connected and smooth.

Literary men and poets often took prostitutes down the river on boats, singing and dancing all the way. A few good friends would linger on the lake near Yuhang for several days, reciting poems and painting, which was very elegant.

Many farmers and fishermen in the town have some extra income because of this. Whenever a boat comes, they will send some good fish, shrimps and fresh vegetables on board. As a result, the town has gained another source of development.

As long as a few pleasure boats arrive here from Suzhou every year, the livelihood of the people in the town is guaranteed for the year. Not to mention that they will have no worries about food and clothing, they will not have to worry about where to eat their next meal.

Outside Yuhang Town, there was a drizzle on the lake and a gentle breeze. Ripples appeared on the lake surface and lotus flowers swayed in the breeze.

The breeze blew, bringing the sounds of singing, dancing, and fun from the distant pleasure boats.

On the lake, a small boat was floating quietly on the water. On the bow, a scholar in a green robe, wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, was sitting on a bamboo stool, holding a purple bamboo fishing rod, fishing in the rain with great interest.

The drizzle fell on his straw raincoat and hat, which was quite poetic.

An old fisherman, also wearing a straw raincoat and hat, sat next to the young scholar, holding a green bamboo fishing rod in his hand, and accompanied the guest who chartered the boat to fish.

Inside the cabin, by the light of a lantern, a dark-skinned fisherman's girl, no more than 18 years old, was standing by the stove, peeling a lotus pod the size of a bowl in her hands.

The fisherman's daughter ate lotus pods while watching over the pot of river food cooking on the fire. From time to time, she looked out of the boat with a bit of shyness in her eyes.

Under the licking of the flames, white mist rose from the pot, and the soup in the pot gradually turned into milky white, exuding a fresh river aroma.

At the bow of the boat, the fishing rod moved, and Tang Song raised his wrist, and a two-foot-long golden carp was brought out of the water. He skillfully lifted it out of the water.

The fish was in the boat with great energy and was jumping up and down on the bowboard with a thumping sound.

The old fisherman nearby put down his fishing rod, walked forward to pick up the carp, removed the hook from the fish's lips, pinched the fish's gills, and put it into the live water fish tank nearby.

Although the wupeng boat is small, the old fisherman still built a small live water fish warehouse out of wood.

It is precisely because of this fish warehouse that the charter price of the old fisherman's fishing boat is thirty cents more than others, even though it is also a black-sailed boat.

"You are lucky, customer. This kind of golden carp with a red tail is rare. It can be sold for at least three taels of silver in the fish market." The old fisherman looked at Tang Song with half respect and half envy.

The old fisherman has been fishing for all these years, but he has never seen anyone so lucky as to catch a red-tailed golden carp of this quality.

You should know that in the past, when chartered boat guests came to the lake for boating and fishing, they either caught nothing or caught some small willow-leaf fish, the largest of which was no bigger than a palm.

A big fish like this would be difficult to catch even for an old man like him with just a fishing rod.

Tang Song took out an earthworm and hung it on the fishhook again, cast the rod into the water, and chatted with the old fisherman beside him while watching the ripples on the water.

"From what you said, this golden carp is very rare?"

"Of course it's rare. There used to be carp in this lake, but this red-tailed golden carp is not a specialty of ours."

The old fisherman said: “According to my grandfather’s generation, this red-tailed golden carp swam over from the Yellow River hundreds of years ago when the imperial court dredged rivers all over the country and dug the Grand Canal.

This carp is different from other fish. It is very alert and will not bite the hook easily. Normally, you can hardly catch a few even with a net. It is a great fortune for the guests to be able to catch one.

The wealthy families in the town thought the fish were beautiful, and some even said that these red-tailed golden carps were the dragon carps that could jump over the Dragon Gate in the Yellow River, so they were willing to pay a high price for them!"

The old fisherman's surname is Hu. His ancestors settled in Yuhang Town. According to him, they have been making a living by fishing for more than ten generations. The fisherman's girl in the cabin is his granddaughter.

The imperial court conscripted labor service, so his son went to dredge a river a hundred miles away, and his daughter-in-law took some spinning and weaving work at the land temple to supplement the family income at home.

The granddaughter was bored at home, so she came to the lake with him to fish, earn some pocket money, and buy some silk flowers and jewelry.

"Can the court give us money to dredge the river?" Tang Song watched the fishing rod move for a long time, so he simply tied the rope on the fishing rod to the boat pillar beside him and peeled a lotus pod to eat.

These lotus pods were just picked, each one is crisp and green, and the lotus seeds are plump. After peeling off the skin, the white lotus kernel is inside, which tastes very sweet.

If the Tang and Song dynasties had said this, they would probably have been spit on in the face. The imperial court never paid for conscription and labor service, and it was a favor from heaven that they didn't ask for your friendship.

"The river is dredged and supervised by the river god. The court dare not delay payment. The river workers can receive 300 coins per day."

The wrinkles on the old fisherman's face widened with laughter: "Three months is enough time for my girl to save up a dowry, and she can find a good family in the future!"

"Xiao Liu is useless. He insisted that he would not accept anyone over 60 years old. Although I am old, I am not lacking in strength. All the food I gave him when he was a child is wasted."

The Xiaoliu mentioned by the old fisherman was the constable in charge of conscripting corvée labor in Yuhang Town.

In the past, conscripting labor was a job that would destroy a family and be criticized by people. Not only did the government not pay labor money, but the conscripts were also required to bring their own food.

Corvée labor was hard work. Ten people would go on a mission, and it was considered lucky if six or seven survived. Whenever the imperial court conscripted corvée labor, it was a disaster that would ruin the lives of ordinary families.

Nowadays, corvée labor is different. The daily river labor fee is 300 coins, plus the government provides three meals. Once selected, the money earned during the corvée labor alone is enough for an ordinary family to live a good life for several years.
In the past, people would give money to the government to exempt them from corvee labor, but now they would give gifts to others in order to force them to perform corvee labor.

"Father-in-law, dredging the river is not an easy job. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. At your age, you should enjoy your retirement..." Tang Song peeled a lotus seed and put it into his mouth.

"I have also been to dredge the river when I was young, but I just did some odd jobs. The heavy work of digging the river and building the dam is not the turn of us corvée laborers. The river god has his own soldiers, as well as those excavators and engineering ships!

It’s a pity that my kid was too playful when he was young and refused to study. Otherwise, not only would he have passed the imperial examination, but he would have been able to read and write and drive an excavator, which would have been better than what he has now!
I heard that those craftsmen who can operate excavators can earn one penny a day. There is a boy who can operate an excavator in the next town, and he has three wives."

Tang Song listened to the old fisherman's complaints about life and enjoyed the fun of fishing in the drizzle and breeze.

This world is called The Legend of Sword and Fairy, but the love entanglements between the gods happened many years ago.

This world was once rich in spiritual energy and monsters were rampant. Take Yuhang Town for example: within ten miles outside the town there were spirits of plants and trees, zombies causing trouble at any time, and there were water monsters in the rivers and lakes, and the monsters ate people.

Coupled with the heavy taxes and levies imposed by the imperial court, one can imagine how the lives of the lower class people were.

The situation did not improve until the Heavenly Court descended upon this world. There are only a few brief records about this period in historical books and miscellaneous notes.

At the beginning of the Heavenly Palace, the sky was covered with dark clouds, it rained heavily, and lightning flashed like dragons and snakes, lasting day and night.

Mortals could not possibly know that in just one day and one night, the ruler of the heaven had changed and Emperor Fuxi was driven off the throne.

A star god from the Dou Department of the Heavenly Court sent out several heavenly generals and more than a thousand heavenly soldiers. It only took them a few months to flatten the heaven and the demon world with the force of a plowing and sweeping.

Like the supreme being of the demon world, Zunlou, the emperor of heaven, Fuxi, or the great demon in the human world, Shushan, the leader of the righteous path, none of them could cause much trouble in the face of absolute power.

The Heavenly Court spent thirty years re-establishing the order of the world, clearing out the demons and monsters in the human world, re-establishing the order of the universe, and selecting the King of Man.

City god temples and land temples were built everywhere on earth, and the deification ceremony was performed in the name of the Emperor of Heaven.

Since then, the world has become what it is today, with humans and gods ruling the world, and river gods in various places clearing waterways and making clouds and rain.

The City God and the Land God are in charge of supervising the officials, guiding the souls of the dead, protecting the people under their jurisdiction, eliminating the demons from the world of the living, wandering around day and night to monitor lawlessness, recording merits and sins, and monitoring each other with the human dynasties, weaving a huge net where there are gods everywhere.

Officials had swords hanging over their heads, and evildoers were afraid of the underworld and hell, which made the world peaceful for a long time.

"Dad! The fish is ready!"

A delicate cry was heard from the cabin. The curtain of the sail boat was lifted, and the fisherman girl stuck her head out. She looked at Tang Song shyly and greeted the old fisherman.

It seemed that the weather was good. At this moment, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the drizzle dissipated.

"The rain stopped just in time. It's too dark in the cabin. Girl, bring out the pot and we'll eat at the bow of the boat!" After asking Tang Song for his opinion, the old fisherman called his granddaughter.

The food on the boat is simple: a pot of cooked fish, a few pancakes, and some liquor prepared by the old fisherman. It tastes very special.

The dark clouds dispersed, a ray of sunlight shone on the water, and a figure seemed to walk onto the boat on a golden bridge.

"boss?"

"Come on, come and try this fish soup, it still has the aroma of the pot, the fireworks and the world, it has a unique flavor!"

When Ryan came to the black-sailed boat, Tang Song was eating a pancake and a piece of fish with great relish. When Ryan got on the boat, Tang Song looked up, waved for him to sit down, and brought him a bowl of fish.

The sloop was not big. When Ryan got on the boat, the old fisherman and his granddaughter did not seem to see him. Even though Ryan was sitting next to the old fisherman, they seemed to be in two different time and space.

"Boss, it's done. According to what you said, the Samsara Palace has selected two worlds from those forbidden worlds. They should meet your requirements!"

Ryan took the bowl of fish meat without disdain. He took a pancake, tore it into pieces and soaked it in the fish soup.

When the fish soup soaked the pancake, he took a pair of chopsticks to pick up the pancake and started eating the fish, while reporting his work to Tang Song.

"They are all hard bones that we can't chew for the time being. It's a good opportunity to let them give it a try. No matter what the result is, we won't lose anything!"

"Which worlds did you choose?" Tang Song picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, asking. "One is a top high-level martial arts world, and one is a mother river world!" Ryan said: "In that high-level martial arts world, gods and demons live together, and the four races of demons, blood races, angels, and humans coexist.

In addition to the human race and the blood race, the demon race and the angel race all possess high-end combat power that is not inferior to Daluo. It seems to be related to the rules of that universe. Those main gods seem to have the ability of immortality. Frank suffered a great loss in this world last time.

The mystery of the Mother River World is even greater than that of the High Martial Arts World. The Fire Department lost two battalions of Heavenly Soldiers there. We are busy with matters in Yamafu and cannot spare much energy for the time being, so we have temporarily sealed that world. Both worlds are not small in size. "

Ryan narrated the story while eating pancakes soaked in fish soup.

Tang Song was naturally familiar with these two worlds. The high-level martial arts world had another name, "After Ascension", a world where the human race was defeated, signed an unequal treaty, and became the blood food of the three races.

The power system in that world respects martial arts. Just as Ryan said, except for the human race, all other races are backed by god-level beings.

These main gods have "harmonized" with certain rules of that world and become a kind of immortal being, making them extremely difficult to kill.

When the Hall of Samsara discovered this world, tens of thousands of pioneers entered this world.

At that time, the timeline of this world was in the period of the First Ancient War, when angels, vampires, and demons joined forces to fight against humans.

The power system of the world after ascension is not weak. As can be seen from the name, the ancient continent where the ancient human race lives is the "fairyland".

It’s just that this fairyland is not as beautiful as people in the lower world imagine.

At that time, there were countless ancient masters of the human race, and even there were four supreme masters. He was fighting one against three, and he was not at a disadvantage even in the three-front battle.

Unfortunately, the human race does not have a main god to support them. Even if the four supreme beings can fight against a main god together, there is only one main god in this world.

The flames of war spread across the entire ancient continent, and many pioneers from the Samsara Palace had no choice but to join the ancient war. However, their strength could not determine the outcome of the war.
Instead, it attracted the attention of some main gods, causing them to die earlier than the original plot.

At this point, humans were defeated and became food kept by the main god.

The whole story was reported back to the Samsara Palace, and Frank went to that world in person, but he almost got trapped there. Tang Song was in Yamabuli at that time, and it was the King of All who stepped in and rescued Frank.

At that time, the Heavenly Court invested most of its energy in the Yama world. Because of the fear of fighting on two fronts, Ryan, after obtaining Tang Song's consent, ordered the Hall of Samsara to temporarily cut off the passage to the afterlife.

As for the Mother River World, even Tang and Song knew very little about it. It seemed to be another power system, a cluster of consciousness, or a collection of the long river of time and the long river of consciousness.

Simply put, the Mother River is like another form of multiverse. There are countless worlds within the Mother River. These worlds are born and die within the Mother River. The souls within these worlds are born in the Mother River and die in the Mother River.

But the weird thing about this Mother River is that she can pull people in at any time, no matter whether they are alive or dead, as long as the soul returns to the Mother River, or the existence in the Mother River, it can be in the past or the future.

They can all be summoned out to fight for the Mother River, and among them there are even some at the Golden Immortal level or even the Daluo level.

An extremely tough opponent. Even Tang Song did not want to face an existence that was suspected to be the consciousness of the multiverse, so he sealed this world.

After the discovery of the Samsara Palace, it was discovered through exploration that there were more than just these two sealed worlds.

Since the saints like Taishang Laojun want several worlds to preach in, it would be a good opportunity to open these worlds to them.

No way, no way, a mere Lord God, Mother River, could it be difficult for several Hunyuan Wuji Sect Leaders?

"Hurry up and withdraw the people from the Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons world. I will use the Hall of Samsara to build a direct passage between the two worlds in that world."

"Boss, is it settled?!" Ryan was a little surprised.

"It's settled. Since they want it, I'll give them the chance. I'll use two samsara worlds to exchange for a great celestial being. According to the agreement, we'll take 50% of the world they take. Anyway, we won't lose.
"I have done my best to serve them in these two universes. I have also explained the dangers to them. If they get hurt, it's not our fault!"

After the meeting of the five saints in the Pingxin Temple, Dijiang left Yanfu, and Tang Song was the first to know what had happened in the Pingxin Temple.

Tang Song picked up a piece of crescent-shaped meat on the side of the fish gill and put it into his mouth. Although only some ginger and scallions were added, the fish meat stewed from the fresh fish was smooth and refreshing.

"I remember you have a group of reserve immortal officials!"

Ryan took a piece of homemade pickled vegetables made by the old fisherman with chopsticks and took a bite of the fish cake: "There is a group of people."

Ryan explained: "It is prepared for the reincarnation world below. You know that a large number of reincarnation worlds become familiar places every year.

In order to avoid local plots, ordinary local gods are fine, but it is best for us to directly dispatch some red pardon-level city gods, river gods, and mountain gods of famous mountains and rivers, so I have reserved some manpower!"

"Leave some people behind. After a while, Yanfu will rebuild the Heavenly Palace, which involves the three religions and the struggle for power among various forces. After the reconstruction, the upper echelons of the Heavenly Palace will inevitably be fought over.

Our roots are not in Jambudvīpa, so we will not compete with them for the positions of the Six Heavenly Kings or the main gods of various tribes.

Over the years, the samsara warriors sent to Jambu have killed many river gods, water monsters, mountain gods and land gods that have brought disaster to the human world, leaving many vacancies, and replacing all these gods and land gods with our people.
There were also city gods from all over the human world who were cleaned up before Chacha succeeded as the King of Fengdu.

The Four Seas Dragon Clan has made an alliance with us, and 40% of the water systems in the Three Realms belong to them. Their appetite is not small, but the Dragon King of the South China Sea has provided us with a lot of spiritual materials and weapons over the years, so it’s okay to give him 40%.

I remember that there is a map of the water veins of Mount Yanfu in the Samsara Hall. Let the water department cooperate with Ao Qin to find the veins as soon as possible!"

Ryan naturally knew the relationship between the Dragon King of the South China Sea and his boss, so he nodded and took note of it.

Tang Song issued orders calmly, and Ryan recorded them all.

"Someone has been here. Could it be that your little lover has come to visit?"

When Changxi came back, Ryan had already left this world.
Chang Xi sat directly on the bamboo chair next to Tang Song, grabbed a handful of peeled and de-budded lotus seeds from the porcelain bowl beside him, and started eating them while watching the angry expression of the little girl next to him, which made Chang Xi laugh.

"It seems that our Emperor of Heaven is still quite handsome. Look how he has aroused the girl's heart!" Chang Xi leaned over to Tang Song's ear and smiled.

"Don't talk nonsense! I have always been a clean and honest man." Tang Song had a stern face, looking like a gentleman.

"Bah, I think you just dislike the girl because she's not pretty!"

The two have been practicing together for hundreds of years. Although they are not husband and wife in name, they are husband and wife in reality. Chang Xi and Tang Song have been together for so long, how could they not understand this scumbag.

"Are you bullying Nuwa again?" Tang Song did not argue about whether he was a scumbag or not. He glanced at Chang Xi and teased.

Chang Xi said unhappily, "What do you mean by bullying? I understand the great principles of this world." Then he said with some regret, "Nuwa in this world doesn't understand the way of creation, but instead practices the Five Elements Immortal Art. How ridiculous!"

"After all, it is just a middle thousand world. The way of creation is the most advanced rule. If she really knows the way of creation, how could she be severely injured by Fuxi!" Tang Song shook his head and did not comment.
During this period, in order to comprehend the great Dao of this world, Chang Xi actually traveled along the long river of time and space to the beginning of the creation of this world.
Observe the whole process of how Nuwa, Fuxi and Shennong created this world.

But this world is only a middle thousand world after all. Although the three saints are innate, their cultivation level is only half a step to Daluo.

Their teachings were just a way for Chang Xi to relieve his boredom.

"It's funny to say that in the world of Yama, Fuxi and Nuwa are innate gods and demons who were born together and are as close as brothers and sisters. I didn't expect that they are enemies in this world."

Chang Xi seemed to think of something funny, and he chuckled with his hands covering his mouth: "It's a pity that Queen Wa left Yanfu, otherwise I would definitely go back and tell her about this world.

Haha, being severely injured by Fuxi, his descendants were slandered as snake demons, being schemed against for generations, falling into love disasters, and becoming love-brained. If Queen Nuwa knew, she would probably be so angry that she would destroy this world!"

"You've gone to the long river of time to watch the fun again. Their fates have long been rewritten by me. How can you still have the brains to fall in love?"

The Tang and Song dynasties did not deliberately interfere with the fate of the so-called protagonists, but with the resignation of Fuxi, the armies of heaven swept across the world, sweeping all the so-called religious leaders and sword immortals into the dust of history.

The so-called destiny that cannot be changed has become completely nonsense.

It's just because Tang Song told Chang Xi about this. With her strength, as long as she wants, she can naturally see another timeline, a timeline without the existence of Heaven.

In Changxi's eyes, all the love affairs in the mundane world are just stories to pass the time.

"Have you finished your business?!" Chang Xi smiled for a while and looked at Tang Song.

"It's basically over. If you're bored of this world, I'll take you to other worlds. There are some pretty good worlds there, and you should like them!"

"it is good!"

The Great World of Yama, the Deep Sea, and the Wonderland of Taixu
Inside the Taixu Immortal Palace, Tang Song sat upright on the cloud platform with cloud light appearing above his head. Starlight filled the sky and sprinkled down from the sky without stopping for a moment. All of the light fell into the clear cloud light, becoming a part of it. The cloud light became even clearer and fainter.

A boy was serving by the side, quietly waiting for Tang Song to wake up.

After a long time, Tang Song finally finished his practice and looked at the boy.

"Master, the Antian Dharma Assembly is about to be held, and someone from the Tushita Palace has come to invite you to attend the banquet." The boy bowed and reported.

"I already know about this matter. Ask someone to prepare the carriage so that I can go to the meeting tomorrow morning."

At this time, three years had passed since the Buddha Maitreya escaped from the calamity. This Heaven Peace Conference was a ceremonial meeting convened by the Jade Emperor.
