Chapter 21 Song is coming

There are gods above our heads, this has been verified on the roadside.

Mountains have mountain gods, land has land gods, and water has water gods.

Although they are the gods of a place, their abilities are too low, and even mortals can call them hairy gods. When they encounter slightly more powerful monsters, they can only hide in the ground and pretend to be ostriches.

The monsters were wreaking havoc in their own land, and the mountain gods and land gods were powerless to stop them. The little hairy god in heaven couldn't go there, so he could only hope that some great god would pass by one day and help eliminate the monsters.

I found myself being treated as a great god by the land and mountain gods on the roadside.

He continued to move eastward. Along the way, whenever there was a mountain temple or a land temple near him, the jade talisman in his arms would subtly give him a prompt, hoping that he could go over and take a look.

People on the roadside would also go to the small temples of the land gods to take a look and clean the small temples of the incompetent land and mountain gods, removing the dust, fallen leaves, cobwebs and other things from the small temples to make them clean.

In return, the land and mountain gods would fill the old gourds on the roadside with their own brewed wine, which was the only thing they had to offer.

Whenever the jade talisman for shrinking the earth made a crisp "ding~!" sound, Lubian knew that he could ask the local mountain god and land god to use the shrinking method to help him come to the land temple in front of him.

I got the Shrinking Jade Talisman on the roadside and used the Shrinking Jade Talisman once or twice.

The map given to him by the old man of the Gao family could no longer guide Lubian. Lubian now looked at the sun during the day and the stars at night, using the celestial phenomena to guide himself.

The two times he used the shrinking technique to return to the land temple were because he got lost on the road and went in the wrong direction, so he had to return to the previous land temple and start again.

A man and a donkey journeyed through the wilderness. A month later, they entered the territory of the Song Dynasty...

Great Song Dynasty,

I can't remember much history from the Song Dynasty.

Although this is the world after Journey to the West, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty was succeeded by the current Song Dynasty, the history of the Song Dynasty in Lu Bian's original world may not necessarily be comparable to this "Song Dynasty".

The Emperor Taizong of Tang in Journey to the West, Li Shimin, lived several years longer than the Li Shimin in his original world.

I don't want to dwell on this issue.

Once you travel to this world, you should integrate into this world and live your life there.

Things that happened in the history of his original world may not necessarily happen in this world, but there is a greater possibility.

There are gods, monsters, Buddhas and demons, and there will always be some weird things coming out to cause trouble.

Lubian thought there was no need for him to worry about any possibility.

Let's first take a look at what the situation is like in the Song Dynasty...

Bianjing was the capital of the Song Dynasty.

After entering the densely populated civilized area, the roads were flat and well-connected. Lubian and his donkey easily reached the most prosperous capital of the Song Dynasty, and successfully spent his first winter New Year within the territory of the Song Dynasty.

I walked all the way from Gaojia Town to the Song Dynasty. Traveling fast became a skill I had honed along the way. I quickly crossed most of the country of the Song Dynasty and arrived at the capital of the Song Dynasty, Bianjing.

After entering the Song Dynasty, there were many things that Lu Bian needed to consider, such as his household registration and identity.

Magnetic field power can alter and distort the thoughts and memories of those weaker than oneself. Lubian used the power of his own Ninth Heaven Magnetic Field to have officials from the Song Dynasty handle his household registration, allowing him to become a local resident of the capital, Bianjing. Lubian: [Friends, I'm a Beijing master too. Take a look at my new home in Tokyo.]

Roadside: [Why is there no reply? ]

Shi Tianwu: [Master Jing, you are blessed.]

Lubian: [Brother Tianwu is giving me face, and I wish you good luck, Leader Yindu.]

In the chat group, the flow of time in the worlds of various members was not consistent, and they gradually discovered this.

When they are all online and chatting together, the time flow of group members will be temporarily unified, but after they go offline, the time of group members will go their own way.

It took Lubian more than half a year to walk to the Song Dynasty. Now the time on Lubian's side is flowing faster than that of other group members.

However, the time flow in Shi Tianwu's world was originally the fastest.

The speed of time flow is fast or slow, which has no meaning to Shi Tianwu who has complete control over time. Shi Tianwu controls the time of his own world and synchronizes it with the speed of time flow in his world on the roadside, so as to facilitate the guidance of the magnetic field practice on the roadside.

The flow of time was synchronized with Lubian's, so every time Lubian sent a message in the group, Shi Tianwu was always the first one to reply to Lubian.

Shi Tianwu: [Honestly, I can't believe you're living in ancient times.]

Roadside: [Yeah, I don’t believe it either.]

The prosperity of Bianjing was unimaginable even on the streets in the past.

When he was studying in high school, the Song Dynasty was described in the history textbook as a feudal dynasty, and the examination points were the handicraft industry, the prosperity of the commodity economy, and the development of thought and technology in the Song Dynasty. However, what he saw on the roadside at this time was the Great Song Dynasty after the Journey to the West, which shocked him greatly.

This is totally not the "Song" I know!
Cut it! Cut it!
I chose to throw the "stereotype" of Song in my mind to the side of the road.

Bianjing is also called Tokyo. People on the street like to use Tokyo to refer to this strange yet familiar capital of the Song Dynasty.

Traveling eastward, he saw many villages and towns along the way. After entering the Song Dynasty, he also passed through many cities. Tokyo was the place with the best quality of life he had ever seen.

Tokyo's streets crisscross like a chessboard, its buildings neatly and rationally planned; its waterways are conveniently developed, and its ports bring in and distribute a dazzling array of goods from all corners of the world; its people are densely populated, with scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans all busy at their jobs...

While eating at an inn on the roadside, I listened to people chatting at the next table and heard someone bragging that although the territory of the current Song Dynasty is only one-third of the former Tang Dynasty, its national strength has far surpassed that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The Liao Kingdom in the north allied with the Song Dynasty, and the Western Xia in the northwest was unable to fight against the Song-Liao alliance. They were living in a happy and prosperous era. What else was there to worry about?
The roadside people began to worry.

The locals in Tokyo were praising the Song Dynasty to the hilt. It was obvious from the roadside that this person had never even been out of the area a hundred miles away from Tokyo.

Some old questions were just thought about in my head but not spoken out loud.

On the roadside, his focus was actually more on the true scriptures brought back by Tang Monk and his three disciples.

In the 27th year of Zhenguan in the BC Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang obtained the true scriptures and returned to Chang'an. The prosperity of the Song Dynasty today seems to be the subsequent impact of the retrieval of those true scriptures.

In his opinion, the life and happiness of the people of the Song Dynasty was relatively high among all the ancient dynasties. This was confirmed by the fact that beggars on the street always had a full begging bowl every day.

The State of Song was in a prosperous period where even a beggar with nothing could have enough to eat every day.
