Sword of Coming

The capital city of the small Yunyan Kingdom is now full of strange people and strangers. The gods on the mountains who soar in the clouds and mist can be said to be hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

In addition, the dignitaries, generals, ministers and ministers from various countries who came here to participate in the grand event were all in the street. As long as they were foreigners, they all had status. Maybe they were not easy to mess with each other? Is that why it's so peaceful? It's just that those Qi practitioners who call for wind and rain seem to have a tacit understanding, their words and deeds are extremely regular, and they get along well with the people at the foot of the mountain. So far, the Yunyan State Criminal Department Office has not received any disputes requiring them. to dispose of. Officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple began to use different methods to ask for credit from His Majesty in the court.

A fly restaurant opened in a back alley. Grilled fish is its signature dish, and several tables are already occupied.

The diners in the restaurant spoke loudly, and most of them were talking about big deals worth thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The table with the loudest voice ordered a grilled fish and a few kilograms of barley wine, a specialty of the capital.

Previously, a guy who looked like he was paying for a treat, followed the waiter to the restaurant's backyard to pick out fish, choosing the fat and thin ones. In the end, he said it was for four people, so the herring didn't need to be too heavy.

He is not rich, and he doesn't have much money in his pocket. He rarely goes out to restaurants to improve his food.

This person had one leg on the bench and was hunched over. He took a sip of wine from the bowl and whispered, "I heard that the ancestor personally led Wu Shou to the Qingping Sword Sect?"

Opposite the table was a man and woman who looked like a middle-aged couple. The woman frowned slightly and was pushing away the cilantro for decoration. She smiled sweetly and said, "Master Patriarch obviously helped the fat man to make up for it, but according to the rules Fellow Daoist Lingjiao's temper may not be pleasing to others, and he will probably be dissatisfied with it. It's hard to say for other sects in the Immortal Mansion, but I must have an idea of ​​what kind of atmosphere Master Yin Guan's sect will have."

The man put all the cilantro into his bowl and whispered, "Let's not rub salt into Fatty Wu's wounds."

Then the man added, "He still has to pay for the meal. In order not to pay the bill, this guy pretends to be drunk or escapes to the toilet. That's a trick."

He and the woman are indeed a pair of Taoist monks named Tao Hongxing and Luo Jin respectively. They were born in Baofengzhai and are now in charge of Tongyezhou affairs. As for the young monk opposite, it is Tongyezhou Baofengzhai who is in charge of accounting books and expenses. The detailed accountant is named Guo Manqian. Both parties make money together and supervise each other. Zhang Zhi, the founder of Haoran Tianxia Baofengzhai, told Chen Ping'an on the other side of Qingshan Ferry that the three of them respected Yin Guan too much and did not dare to take them with him. It was easy for them to negotiate business deals. At that time, Chen Ping'an took it as a polite comment in the business field, but in fact there was no water in it. Before coming to Tongyezhou, Tao Hongxing had a good relationship with most of the ship owners and stewards who went to Daoxuan Mountain to trade cross-continental ferries in the past, and Guo Manqian herself was a top tycoon from a certain Middle-earth continent. His family owns a cross-continental ferry, and it is in his name. Therefore, Guo Manqian actually knows everything about the process and results of the closing ceremony of Chunbanzhai. I haven’t arrived yet, but I long for it.

Guo Manqian smiled and said, "Yer is naughty. She deliberately gave the woman a piece of fish meat with her chopsticks. Tao Hongxing knocked it away with his chopsticks in a hurry. He glared and said, "She is your sister-in-law, please be honest!"

Guo Manqian took back her chopsticks, put them in her mouth, chewed them, and asked: "Master, are you really so optimistic about the financial resources after Dadu is opened? If it were me, even if I could spend money as I please, I wouldn't have the courage to do so. , a full six thousand Grain Rain coins."

Previously in the Qingping Sword Sect, the Patriarch promised to give out 6,000 Grain Rain coins, but half of them were Zhang Zhi's private money.

Nominally, it is the Qingping Sword Sect, the Yugui Sect, the Daquan Dynasty and other forces. As co-initiators, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is actually the young Yinguan who took the lead using the name of the Qingping Sword Sect and then set up the game.

When Tongyezhou dug Dadu, the first immortal money was an astronomical figure.

Qingping Sword Sect gave him three thousand grain rain coins. Yu Guizong took out five thousand from his treasury.

Daquan Yao family, two thousand, is said to have borrowed money from Qingping Jianzong and Yugui Zong respectively, without interest.

The Liu family of Aaizhou and the Yu family of Xuanmi Dynasty had 10,000 and 2,000 pieces respectively.

All have been received.

Plus the six thousand from Bao Fu Zhai.

In addition, it seems that Wei Bo, the king of Beiyue Mountain who likes to hold night banquets in Piyun Mountain of Aquarius Continent, also took out two thousand Grain Rain coins not long ago?

Everything in the world is not difficult as long as you have money to pave the way.

Tao Hongxing was filled with admiration and said, "Big and generous, he is worthy of being Liu Caishen, with extraordinary moves."

It turns out that in addition to paying the money, the Liu family of Ai Aizhou also promised to mobilize ferries from several continents within a year and transport 300 mountain ferries and talisman boats of various sizes to Tongyezhou.

Guo Manqian said sourly: "Since Liu Caishen is so capable, he might as well send it over with the immortal master who sailed the ship. The immortal money consumed by the spiritual energy will also be waived."

The Guo family in Junxian County, Zhongtu, and the Liu family in Aaizhou had some disagreements in the business field. However, although everyone showed their magical powers, Guo's skills were inferior to others. The general result was that the latter lost the financial resources of a large dynasty and several medium-sized countries.

On paper, the Liu family and the Yu family contributed the most money, and it is said that there was no written agreement, only a verbal agreement between the two parties, and it was a true gentleman's agreement.

Moreover, according to the agreement, Liu and Yu's family only earn 10% of the principal. One day they will recover the cost and get the scheduled dividends. A Tongyezhou Dadu, regardless of the kind of income that will accumulate in the future. , or the huge profits that are enviable on the books, it has nothing to do with them anyway.

Luo Jin smiled and said, "Doesn't this mean that just one favor from Chen Yinguan is worth eleven thousand Grain Rain coins to Liu Jubao?"

Tao Hongxing nodded and said, "It's worth the price."

Luo Jin was a little strange, "More than a month has passed. Ever since the Qingping Sword Sect's ferry docked at Yulindu, Mi Yu has been staying on the ferry and never got off the boat. It seems like this great swordsman I deliberately gave up the opportunity to show my face to the accountant Zhong Qiu and Jing Xingfeng Cao Qinglang."

Guo Manqian smiled playfully and glanced at Tao Hongxing.

Miyu from the Great Wall of Sword Qi has a skinny appearance and the demeanor of a swordsman. That's really good.

Brother Tao, you should take it easy. I heard that Mi Jianxian's ability to flirt with women is no worse than his swordsmanship.

The man grinned, with a nonchalant look on his face, "It's human nature for men to look at women with good figures and love them. It doesn't matter if you can't control your heart, as long as you can control your sister-in-law's body. Even when they were fighting in bed, your sister-in-law was only thinking about rice. Yu, it’s nothing.”

The woman's eyebrows were affectionate, she stretched out two fingers and twisted her man's arm hard, "Damn it!"

Guo Manqian's face looked horrified, she gasped, quickly stood up and bent down, poured a large bowl of wine for Tao Hongxing, and then said with a flattering smile: "Sister-in-law, do you think I look okay?"

The woman squinted at the young man and said, "You've lost weight. Go away and cool off."

Guo Manqian picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, "We have made an appointment. Let me play as the leader of the sect in the future. Then I will have an identity that I can show off when I go out. Otherwise, every time I go home to attend meetings in the ancestral hall, I will raise my eyebrows." Don’t start.”

After reaching the upper five realms, you can try to register with the Confucian Temple and establish a sect.

There is also a process similar to the selection of officials in the imperial court at the foot of the mountain.

Only those who have reached the fifth realm can establish a sect. This is a necessary condition, but it does not mean that as long as you reach the Yupu realm, you will definitely be able to establish a sect.

There will be an review process at the Zhongtu Confucian Temple. It’s not that Baofengzhai has never thought about establishing a sect, but the problem is that it seems that even Baofengzhai is not a sect with the prefix sect yet.

When Tao Hongxing heard about the sect, he let out a long sigh.

Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Regardless of how much money Baofengzhai makes, but really speaking of the status of the mountain, let alone Baofengzhai, it is the reputation of the entire business in the vast world, so what?

At that time, merchants were almost directly eliminated from the Confucian Temple among the hundreds of schools of thought. Can money lead to the gods? It's of no use at the Confucian Temple.

Guo Manqian gloated: "If it were me who went to the Qingping Sword Sect, I wouldn't need the Patriarch to accompany me. I can still walk up Xiandu Mountain, and I won't end up at the ferry."

Luo Jin reminded: "Shut up quickly, Fatty Wu is here."

Among the three, it is actually the woman who has the highest level.

A fat man carrying a parcel across his body entered the restaurant and sat next to Guo Manqian, complaining, "Why did you find such a place? It's easier for me to find it. If it were a restaurant, wouldn't it be more spacious?" While drinking happily, Wouldn’t it be beautiful to enjoy the night view of the capital?”

Guo Manqian asked the restaurant waiter for more bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "If you don't like the place, let's have a second meal."

Wu Shou sat aside, and the bench suddenly creaked, "Forget it, I have made appointments with two groups of people, we can make appointments later."

Inviting outsiders to drinks, negotiating business, and all expenses can be reimbursed by Mr. Guo Manqian, the accountant, but if Guo Manqian and others are invited to drink, Wu Shou will have to pay for it out of his own pocket.

At Tongyezhou Baofengzhai, just like Liu Jubao and Yu Panshui, if they lose money, they will treat it as wasted. If they make money, they will only receive a dividend of 10% of the principal. A total of 6,000 Grain Rain coins have been received in the temporarily established Ancestral Hall. Naturally, this 10% of the future income, which is 600 Grain Rain coins, will fall into Zhang Zhi's pocket. As for Tongyezhou Baofengzhai, the hard work is certainly not in vain. Even if we don’t mention the income on the books, we can only say that in the future, Baofengzhai shops will be established at many ferry crossings along the Dadu, regardless of whether they are old or new. According to the instructions of the founder, According to Zhi Zhi's instructions, we will discuss this matter with the imperial courts of various countries and the local immortal sects. We must only sell but not rent, and negotiate a deal. So during this period, Tao Hongxing and Wu Shao were working separately and talking about this matter. There were several drinking parties almost every day, from morning to night.

Although the price offered by Baofengzhai was not high, the contract signed was a long-term contract with a term starting from three to five hundred years. It was agreed that no other negotiations would be made unless there was a change of dynasty. However, the imperial courts and mountain sects of various countries can make an extra sum of magic money out of thin air, and can also help gather popularity for their own ferry. For various forces who are so poor that they are about to tighten their belts to live a life, Baofengzhai is willing to settle down locally. , are all good things to provide help in times of need, why not do it.

Baofengzhai is obviously grabbing the land.

But just like Zhang Zhi's previous explanation, the popularity of any Xianjia ferry is completely different whether it has a Baofu Zhai or not. Can work with landlords for mutual benefit.

In addition, after receiving this magical money, which is like a timely rain, the person in charge of the treasury in charge of the money in the mountain and the yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs of various countries have money in their pockets, and their waists are straight and their words are strong.

Luo Jin sighed softly: "Not to mention the good reputation of Qianqiu, but in the next ten years, even if the entire central part of Tongye Continent encounters bad years and famine, the people will not be left in dire straits. People are starving all over the place.”

Guo Manqian nodded.

This is similar to how a certain Confucian sage in history, who was famous for his poetry, succeeded in providing disaster relief through large-scale construction projects.

Tao Hongxing asked: "I heard that those mountain folk who don't care about worldly affairs are finally willing to come out of the mountains?"

Regarding the Luoyang Muke lineage, this is a tacitly taboo topic among the many monks in Baofengzhai.

Because the founder of Baofengzhai, the owner Zhang Zhi, was from the Luoyang Muke lineage, and he was the kind of traitor who deceived his teachers and destroyed his ancestors.

Wu Shou said cautiously: "After finally having a late night snack, you won't talk about these embarrassing things, right?"

Guo Manqian took off her boots, sat cross-legged, and looked under the table. Fortunately, there was no such shady scene.

An embroidered shoe suddenly stood up under the table, pretending to kick him in the face. Luo Jin laughed and cursed: "What do you want to see with your dog eyes?"

Guo Manqian smiled and said: "Aren't you worried that my sister-in-law and Brother Tao will have a heated argument regardless of the occasion? It will have a bad impact if word spreads."

Wu Shou was not surprised by this, he chuckled, put a large piece of fish into his mouth, and took a sip of the slightly bland barley wine, "I don't know who is this guy who is full, Deliberately announced to the outside world that the Empress of Daquan Yao Jinzhi, Huang Yiyun of Pushan, Yu Xuanfu, the female Grand Master of Aai Aizhou, Liu Suiyu, and more than a dozen famous fairies had also arrived in Yunyan Country. In just two months, a large group of colorful monks and literati from several countries surrounding Yunyan Kingdom poured into the capital."

Although Wu Shou has been deliberately acting complacent to Guo Manqian and the others since he returned from the Qingping Sword Sect.

In fact, the young hermit official at the ferry outside the mountain was indeed kind, and the tea at Qingshandu... was also delicious.

But for some reason, Wu Shou now has a mantra, "Give me a break."

Guo Manqian sincerely admires Chen Shanzhu, who was born in a poor family. He started from scratch and accumulated a huge family fortune in his forties.

Among the pair of Taoist priests on the mountain, Tao Hongxing admired the young hermit official's deeds on the Jianqi Great Wall, but the woman admired Chen Ping'an's "henpeckedness" the most.

Nowadays, some gossips are spreading among people with noses and eyes. Often early in the morning, the second shopkeeper can be seen sitting alone at the gate of Ning Mansion.

In the alley outside the restaurant, a young man in white clothes with a mole on his eyebrows came. He walked straight past the door with his sleeves rolled down. He suddenly leaned back and looked into the house with wide eyes. He turned around and strode across the threshold with a playful smile. : "In life, there are always a few useless things to do, such as healing a dead horse, tending the mud, carving rotten wood, persuading prostitutes to be good, asking butchers to put down their swords, and asking merchants to make money and stop being evil."

The young man entered the restaurant, slapped the fat man hard on the shoulder, and said with shock on his face: "Fellow Taoist Lingjiao, you have such a big heart and a fat body, you are still in the mood to hide here and drink?!"

The "Fellow Lingjiao Daoist" with a bloated figure but named Wu Shou, his body was stiff and his Taoist heart was tense. He turned his head with a grimace and said with a dry smile: "Sect Leader Cui, what gust of wind brought you here?"

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Have you left Qingshandu, eaten and drank well every day, and finally recovered?"

Wu Shou smiled awkwardly and said, "Sect Master Cui is joking."

Cui Dongshan grabbed the fat man's shoulders hard and said, "Are you kidding me? Is Fellow Taoist Lingjiao insinuating that I am frivolous?"

Wu Shou quickly apologized and said, "I don't dare. I misunderstood."

Cui Dongshan moved, stretched out his hand to push Wu Shou and Guo Manqian away, and sat down in the middle of the bench.

Guo Manqian frowned slightly but said nothing.

Regarding this "young man in white" who had no idea that he had jumped out of that corner, the sect master of Luolu Mountain, the direct disciple of Lord Chen... Even though he was as well-informed as Bao Fuzhai, he still couldn't find any clues. Not long ago, Grandmaster Zhang Zhi also reminded a few of them not to try to find any clues about "Cui Dongshan's" cultivation base, and to just stay away from this person.

So when Cui Dongshan came to his door today, except for Wu Shou who had suffered a lot and complained secretly in his heart, Tao Hongxing and others were all surprised.

"Do you recognize it?"

The young man in white raised his sleeves, took out three fairy coins, and placed them on the table.

They are the three types of mountain money, snow money, Xiaoshu money, and Guyu money.

Cui Dongshan stretched out his palm, put one finger against a fairy coin, and said with a smile: "I don't think you recognize them, what do you think?"

Tao Hongxing smiled and said: "If Sect Leader Cui thinks so, then that's great."

Since there are some people who feel like old friends at first sight, they are very close to each other. Of course, there are some people who just don't want to see him again, such as the mysterious Cui Zongzhu in front of him.

It's just a pity that Lord Chen Shan found such a direct disciple and is now the head of the sect.

It would be good to replace her with Pei Qian, the eldest disciple with a good reputation. She is a pure martial artist and cannot establish a sect in the mountains.

Cui Dongshan bent three fingers, tapped the fairy money on the table, and said with a smile: "My husband has always believed that being reasonable without giving examples is tantamount to being a hooligan. Then I will give you an example. For example, you recognize Mr. Fan, but Mr. Fan If I don’t know you, then you and Mr. Fan don’t know each other, right? Same thing.”

Guo Manqian sneered: "Why, these three fairy coins can recognize Sect Leader Cui?"

Cui Dongshan flicked his sleeves and put the fairy money back into his sleeves, "That's all, chickens and ducks can't teach you. If Zhang Zhi were here, he would probably understand."

Including the man named Rosin, a total of seven groups of Luoyang wooden guests began to travel down the mountain, choosing sites in various continents and choosing a place to stay.

I heard that Mr. Fan, who was a businessman, climbed the mountain himself and persuaded this group of Luoyang Mu Kes to break their ancestral precepts and come out of the mountain.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it is Baofengzhai or Luoyang Muke.

In Cui Dongshan's eyes, it was just making wedding clothes for others.

This "other" is two people.

One is the founder of the business, Mr. Fan.

The second is Liu Jubao, the God of Wealth in Aaizhou's business world.

The last time the Confucian Temple discussed matters, the Li Sheng finally spoke, which was equivalent to opening a layer of restrictions.

From now on, the founders of various schools of thought will be able to practice Taoism and climb high, and there will be no bottlenecks.

How high the final height is and how big the avenue is depends on each person's ability.

Luo Jin smiled and said: "If the Qingping Sword Sect were all masters like Sect Master Cui, it would be fine if my husband and I didn't go to Luo Luo Mountain, which we have been thinking about for all these years."

Cui Dongshan is so frustrated. Well, he was actually taken advantage of by an aunt and bullied me, the husband I respect the most, so I brought out the husband to scare people?

Okay, I'm scared.

After all, they are now half allies. Then treat others with sincerity, open the skylight and speak frankly with you, and say some honest words that you can't buy with money.

"Some businesses are destined not to make big money. For example, grain."

"I know you guys, Baofengzhai, are so rich, and Zhang Zhi is so good at life, why can't you get even a Zong title? Don't you think it's strange?"

"The fault lies in the bad ethics of the predecessors, and you, the descendants, will suffer from it. I remember that in your early years, when you were the second-in-command of Baofengzhai, you were too fierce in making money, and you were too capable. You dared to make any money. As a result, you were recorded in the Confucian Temple. . This person has been removed from Zhang Zhi’s genealogy long ago, so you may not have heard of his name. Poor Zhang Zhi, no matter how he fixes the matter afterwards, no matter how he goes to Gongde Forest in person, or how he finds connections to establish connections, he will never No, the result is that none of the three principal and deputy Confucian Temple leaders have met. This kind of thing should not be made public because of family scandal. Zhang Zhi must be embarrassed to say it, so you don't know much about it, right?"

"This means you can't make money if you are not hard-hearted. If you are too cruel, you can't keep money. It's really hard for you businessmen. The money you handle is like running water, and it comes and goes."

"Only on his last trip to the Confucian Temple, Zhang Zhi finally paid off. At the gate of Gongde Forest, and from Jingsheng Xiping's side, he heard an admonition: those who have gone before will plant trees and those who will come after will enjoy the shade."

"So over the years, Baofengzhai has been losing money on several businesses, and has been making money from other sources of income. There are also several businesses that it has never touched."

"It's okay, okay, it's not in vain. Your ancestor Zhang Zhi's hard work and long-suffering daughter-in-law are finally going to have a mother-in-law. It only costs three thousand Grain Rain coins to exchange for a good reputation. It's a good deal!"

Guo Manqian turned sideways, cupped her hands and said, "Sect Leader Cui is really not so well-informed that he can even know the secrets of other families' mountains and the inside story of the Confucian Temple?"

Cui Dongshan said seriously: "What does this mean? I even told the story about your venerable old lady and Aaizhou Wei She, how she dreamed of wandering in the Yinghua Cave in the early years, and how she traveled far away from the body with the Yin God. We all know why Wei She didn’t know each other until we fought, and why we ended up not having contact with each other until we died. We all know why we regretted not being able to form a Taoist couple. Are you afraid? Just ask you if you are afraid."

Guo Manqian choked on her words. Even he, a clan brother of the Guo family in Junxian County, had only vaguely heard some gossip, which was different from what the Cui clan leader said. Within the family, it was said that the great monk who called himself the Master of the Seventy-Two Peaks fell in love with his old lady at first sight. However, the family was in a period of crisis at that time. The old lady did not want to leave a mess and marry away from another continent. Wei She, who was already in the ascended realm at that time, was naturally even less likely to join the Guo family in Zhenjun County, which led to this incident on the mountain. The marriage was not consummated...

As for the Yinghua Cave that has never been occupied by an owner, it is a very famous place of beauty on the mountain. Because the passage of time is different from the outside world, the birth and growth of natural materials and treasures are much faster than elsewhere. The geomantic treasure land.

It’s no wonder that some great monks commented on this place, “Only one-third of an acre of land, if you add some fertilizer and water, everything that grows will be gold and silver.”

"Follow Zhang Zhi, starve for nine meals in three days, and can't even sit on the seat of the sect's ancestor hall. What's the point? Now my place is employing people, and there is a shortage of capable people. , I think you all have real abilities, why don’t you cooperate with me sincerely and overcome all obstacles... If you don’t deal with these empty-headed things, anyway, just one sentence, the most practical thing is, we can make a fortune together in silence. ?”

Wu Shou looked at his nose and heart without saying a word.

I bet this is a dragon crossing the river and encountering a local snake?

Was it the instruction of the young hermit official, or Cui Dongshan's own decision?

Tao Hongxing and Guo Manqian looked at each other with solemn expressions. The one who comes is not kind and the kind person will not come? I accidentally boarded a pirate ship, and the owner started to take advantage of it?

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but it was Luo Jin who broke the silence and asked first, "Is Sect Master Cui telling a joke?"

"Yes! Of course, otherwise, how can I be so blatantly poaching?"

Cui Dongshan nodded and said: "Brother, it's because you neither take off your chopsticks to eat food nor drink, so I just want to have fun and relieve the awkward atmosphere."

Guo Manqian and others all had the same thought in their minds. Is this person mentally ill?

Wu Shou roughly guessed the thoughts of several colleagues, and you all knew that Sect Master Cui needed to find a doctor for treatment.

Cui Dongshan did not share their common knowledge and said: "I won't sit down to eat and drink. I just want to talk about this plate of grilled fish for four people. You don't mind if an extra person eats chopsticks out of thin air. Anyway, I am I'm sorry. I'm here today just to discuss something with you. Don't be nervous. You are a straightforward person, and I am also an honest person who can talk about things as small as sesame seeds. I can negotiate and finalize them right away. Even small things are fine. Bypassing Zhang Zhi, for example, in the future, the goods for sale at the top of my mountain will be built in Baofengzhai in various places along Tongyezhou Dadu. Every household has to set aside a few shelves to help sell things. How much money can be earned? You can’t take a commission from the shop. They are the treasures of the shop that make people unable to move their eyes away and unable to walk on their two legs. How much popularity can they help you attract with the sharp goods with wide open doors?! Of course! , you guys don’t need to thank me, we are all friends who hit it off instantly, talking about money will hurt our feelings. If you must give me money, it’s okay to hurt my feelings, little brother, I can reluctantly accept it.”

Are you telling us, Tongyezhou Baofengzhai, to blatantly collect protection money?

"Furthermore, since Baofengzhai is open for business and welcomes in and out every day, it is estimated that you will always meet some monks with good qualifications. I would like to trouble you to say a few good words and recommend one or two to me. If there are any young ones among them, A talented swordsman, that would be even better."

"Now for the third point, let's break down some small things to note. Forget it, my back hurts when I stand talking, so I'd better sit down and chat. Let's talk while drinking..."

Such a good Sect Leader Cui, what the hell do you call this "discussing a matter"?

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Harmony between neighbors is better than anything else."

Luo Jin said: "There is no need to talk about the third thing. I can tell Sect Master Cui straight away now. There is no need to talk about it at all."

Cui Dongshan said: "When doing business, don't be arrogant, ask for prices all over the sky and sit back and pay back the money. Only when you come back and go back, can you have fun."

Tao Hongxing shook his head and said, "No need."

Guo Manqian sneered: "I have learned a lot today."

Wu Shou had a rare moment of toughness, "Sect Master Cui is not sincere enough, so it is really difficult to continue the conversation, but if the business is not done, benevolence and righteousness, everyone, please don't hurt the harmony."

Cui Dongshan asked: "You really don't want to hear the third thing?"

Luo Jin said: "Don't hurt Heqi."

This is an eviction order, reminding Cui Dongshan that if the conversation continues, Tongyezhou Baofengzhai and Qingping Sword Sect may have a falling out.

Cui Dongshan looked at himself, Wu Shou and Guo Manqian on both sides, each took a chopstick, then leaned over and reached out, and took from the opposite side of the table a pot of barley wine in Luo Jin's hand, and a wine bowl in front of Tao Hongxing.

The young man in white filled a bowl of wine, placed a pair of chopsticks on the white bowl, and said with a smile: "We have fish to eat tonight. It's a good sign. There will definitely be more every year."

A "young man" holding a hiking pole walked into the restaurant and said with a smile: "Sect Leader Cui, why don't you tell me about the third thing? They are not patient enough, but I would like to hear it."

The rightful owner has finally arrived.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "In the future, there will be dozens of Xianjia ferries and dozens of Baofuzhai in the middle of Tongye Continent and along the coast of Dadu. Can you have enough to eat?"

Zhang Zhi sat across the table and asked with a smile: "How do you say it?"

Cui Dongshan said: "Why don't we let Tongyezhou and every ferry on the island have a baggage restaurant?"

Zhang Zhi asked: "What are the precautions?"

Cui Dongshan said: "For example, if a continent has mountains and rivers, the capitals of various countries also have Baobozhai."

Zhang Zhi asked again: "Is there any more?"

Cui Dongshan said: "The same is true for Fuyaozhou."

Zhang Zhi remained silent.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Afraid of being full? If you can't eat it for the time being, you can save it. From this year to next year, it will be better every year."

Zhang Zhi smiled and said, "Is it accurate?"

Cui Dongshan asked: "Don't ask me who I am?"

As expected, Zhang Zhi asked: "Who are you?"

Cui Dongshan took out a fan and said, "I am Mr. Cui Dongshan, his proud student."

Zhang Zhi said with a smile: "Mr. Chen's vision in selecting students, and Sect Master Cui's vision in selecting teachers, both seem to be very good."

Cui Dongshan looked suspicious, "Aren't you being sarcastic?"

Zhang Zhi smiled and said, "I tell you the truth."

————

There was a very handsome young monk, wearing a green robe, walking alone in the brightly lit capital.

Therefore, when this person is walking on the road, men will see him and women will see him.

It was Qing Tong, a monk at the Ascension Realm of Demon Tower in Tongyezhou Town. He had nothing to do anyway, so he came here to join in the fun.

Along the way, Qingtong spotted several Qi practitioners with strong auras from far and near after walking only a few steps.

"Oh, there are many tortoises in shallow water."

At first, Emperor Qin of the Yunyan Kingdom and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but worry about whether the capital, as the most benign place, would have so many Qi practitioners pouring in all at once, and whether there would be conflicts that could easily lead to conflicts between people inside and outside. I never thought that they were worrying too much. So far, there has not been a single lawsuit involving foreign monks bullying local people. Officials from the Yunyan Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment were worried that something would happen tonight at the feet of the emperor. For a moment, I will be punished by His Majesty the Emperor and lose my official position at the meeting tomorrow. Now I feel like I can finally put my heart back in my stomach.

Qing Tong suddenly stopped, with a look of confusion on his face. Why is it her? What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of being chopped down?

I saw a roadside barbecue stall in front of the road. There was a plain-looking woman in a shabby Jingchai sarong. She was leading a girl with a spirit background. The woman ate with restraint, and the girl ate with her mouth full of oil. Two Holding a large handful of skewers in each hand, his face was filled with happiness.

The woman turned her head and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Qing, we meet again."

The great demon of the old throne has stopped, and Xiaohe Po Ganzhou is now her registered disciple.

Ascension realm monks are extremely skilled at concealing their aura. It is difficult for monks in the same realm to know the truth by means similar to observing mountains and rivers.

Qing Tong immediately suppressed the ripples in his heart and sat at the table, not knowing what to say for a while.

The girl's cheeks were bulging and she said vaguely: "Senior Qingtong, what a coincidence, go ahead and eat, I'll treat you!"

Qingtong shook his head and declined with a smile: "I'll forget it, I can't get used to eating such greasy food."

"Boss, here are ten more skewers of grilled squid!"

While proving the reliability of this street food with practical actions, the girl continued to persuade: "It's delicious. Senior Qingtong, you try it first. This is called not knowing if you don't try it. If you try it, you'll be shocked." !”

Qingtong wanted to speak but stopped.

Because he didn't know what the agreement between Yang Zhi and Chen Ping'an was, Qing Tong was worried that it would be superfluous and would displease both sides, so he didn't say anything more.

Yangzhi said: "I'm not stupid, I know everything."

Qing Tong said with a complicated expression: "Then you are still here."

How about hiding in the thousand-mile radius that the young master has mapped out for you?

Yang Zhi said calmly: "If I just hide blindly, believe it or not, sooner or later he will take the initiative to come to the door. How many years can I hide there? A hundred years, a thousand years? If we assume that question The sword will definitely come, I might as well take advantage of the moment and go out for a bit more shopping and eat delicious food from all over the world."

Qingtong couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid of meeting that Mi Yu on the road?"

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "After all, I am just an immortal for the time being, who can I kill?"

Qing Tong said helplessly: "You are open-minded."

Yang Zhi turned around and stretched out his hand towards the owner of the barbecue stall and said, "Add ten skewers of mutton and duck gizzards each, and sprinkle more pepper."

The stall owner laughed loudly and said: "Okay, the guest officer is waiting."

Yang Zhi looked away, "You really don't want to try it? It tastes good."

Qing Tong still shook his head and said, "Don't try to persuade me. It's not like trying to persuade someone to drink at the table."

Yang Zhi joked: "My disciple, I am thinking that you, a rich man of the current generation, can settle the bill later. I am different. I sincerely recommend this kind of delicacy to you."

The young girl He Po, who had her little thoughts exposed by her master, just lowered her head and pretended not to hear anything.

Qing Tong asked: "Are you that 'Jing Xing'?"

Yang Zhi nodded and said: "When traveling abroad, you must have an identity that makes it easy to travel."

Yang Zhi, who originally had the pseudonym "Jing Xing", suddenly became a registered worshiper of the Daquan Dynasty. The outside world only knew that she was a female cultivator in the Jade Pure Realm from the Middle-earth Divine Continent.

Because Han Guanghu, the first martial artist in Jinjiazhou, crossed the continent and was invited to serve as the national teacher of Daquan Yao family, so this "Jing Xing" who appeared out of thin air did not cause too much trouble. Even if the monks on the mountain heard about this, they would just think that the Daquan Dynasty was now at its peak and would not think much about it.

Yang Zhi suddenly said: "Tao Ting is here too."

This guy deliberately released a little Dao Qi and didn't deliberately restrain all the Dao Qi, so Yang Zhi was immediately aware of the other party's presence.

Qing Tong smiled and said: "In terms of Dao age alone, he can be considered our junior, right?"

Yang Zhi said: "I can say this to your face, so you might as well forget it."

Qing Tong crossed his arms and said, "A tree in the garden, a guard dog, no one is better than the other, why can't you tell."

Yangzhi laughed at himself: "Add another prisoner."

An energetic old man in yellow clothes walked in the night market of Beijing with his hands behind his back.

The old god is here, silently checking the strength of some Qi practitioners, and makes a comment, this one is useless, the papery Jade Pu realm, this one is still too weak, and it turns out that Haoran's Nascent Soul can only be regarded as a barbaric golden elixir... ...Hey, this is a bit confusing. He is actually a ghost cultivator in the immortal realm? The two people around him seemed to be unambiguous. Which mountaintop in Tongyezhou had such a background?

It was the young Taoist who left the wild peach pavilion beside Li Huai and is now famous.

This time he came to Tongyezhou "unauthorizedly". Before leaving, Taoist Nen insisted on letting Li Huai greet the old blind man and found a bunch of legitimate reasons for Li Huai, otherwise Taoist Nen would not dare to leave Baoping. Zhou was afraid that within a few steps of leaving Li Huai's side, he would be dragged into a dream by the old blind man with great powers. As for the consequences, the young Taoist did not dare to think too much.

Since Taoist Nen was going to Tongyezhou to help Chen Pingan do something important, Li Huai certainly had no objection, so he used a secret technique taught by the old blind man to contact Shiwandashan. As soon as the old blind man heard those messy things, The reason was obviously a bit displeased. It was not something his disciple would say. Fortunately, Li Huai saw the bad opportunity and used his own explanation, saying that since Taoist Master Nen is the retinue you arranged for me, can I still do it? Can't you use him anymore? When the old blind man heard this, he thought it made sense, and just asked Li Huai to send a message to the watchdog. If anything happened to Li Huai during this period, whether it was Taoist Haoran Nen or Barbarian Peach Pavilion, he would go alone. A hundred thousand mountains, first dig a hole and then bury yourself.

Away from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, young Taoists are very domineering in what they say and do. Over here with the old blind man, young Taoists are dog-legged and behave with their tail between their legs.

In an inconspicuous private house in the capital, Li Ba was looking at a picture of the situation in the central part of Tongyezhou hanging on the wall in his study. The ghostly fairy Huangman was sitting beside him, his heart moving slightly.

Li Ba asked: "Is there someone spying on this place secretly?"

Huang Man said lazily: "I'm not sure."

Donghaijun Mansion has thirty-six official offices. Li Ba is the chief officer of the Economic System Department, and Huang Man is the head of the Incense Department.

In February, the dragon raises its head. On the previous day, a rare ancestral hall on the mountain was established in the capital city of Yunyan Kingdom in the land of Palm. Now Li Ba, whose Taoist name is "Quenching Palm", occupies a place in the Patriarch Hall. Before they landed, it was like a trip to the mountains and rivers to relax. After leaving the Jicui Temple in Yu's capital city, Wang Zhu, as the king of the East China Sea, still had to watch the Guixu Ferry channel because of his responsibilities. She He took Gong Yan and Wang Qiongju away and entered the sea again. She then asked Li Ba, Ghost Immortal Jade Taoist Huang Man, and Wufu Ximan to stay in the capital city of Yunyan Kingdom. According to the prior agreement with Cui Dongshan, in that funny ancestral hall, only Li Ba from his own water residence was allowed to stay. , just leave a chair. As for Huang Man in the Immortal Realm and Wufu Ximan in the Ninth Realm, there is no need to squat in the manhole and not poop.

At that time, Wang Zhu made a shocking move and threw Cui Dongshan a celadon pen washer style object, which contained more than 15,000 Grain Rain coins.

This means that the fairy money needed in the medium term for the excavation of Dadu has already been secured.

In addition, Wang Zhu made a request to Cui Dongshan. With the extra Guyu money, Cui Dongshan could help build a land-based summer retreat in Shuifu near Jicuiguan.

That Cui Dongshan was so generous that he directly allocated the Jicui Temple to the Donghai Sea Lord's Mansion.

Xi Man, who was walking and practicing boxing in the yard outside the house, smiled and said: "Huang Man, can you find any trace of the other party? I'll go and meet him for a while?"

Huang Man said: "The monk's spiritual consciousness swept past, and there was no trace to be found. It's not impossible to follow the clues, but it's not easy, so I have to use some unique methods."

Li Ba shook his head and said: "Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing."

Huang Man smiled and said: "As for the Yu Dynasty, is it really okay? Yu Linyou seems to be living nearby now, and he is always on tenterhooks."

Li Ba said: "The master himself said it was a boring move, so let's not make a fuss about it."

Huang Man said: "Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just giving a false alarm."

His Royal Highness Yu Linyou, the crown prince of the Yu Dynasty, is now in the capital. He had followed his wife's advice and not to rush to send a letter to Tianmu Academy to complain.

Facts have proved that this choice is extremely correct. The respected but unpredictable Lord of Donghai Sea seems to have simply forgotten about that matter.

A major event that would have shaken the foundation of the Yu Dynasty as a country was just left alone?

The previous True Dragon King Zhu was so aggressive that instead of being grateful for the Yu Dynasty's new title of "Shenlong", he made rude remarks and asked the Yu Dynasty to retire the military general Huang Shanshou who had made immortal contributions and return home! He also threatened that if Yu Linyou didn't copy it, he wouldn't need to be a prince. The implication is that if you can't be the crown prince of Qiandi, how can you sit on the throne?

This time Yu Linyou had the courage to come to the capital of Yunyan Kingdom, and he may not have the intention of actively making goodwill with the Donghai Sea Lord's Mansion.

Over at the night market, the old man in yellow squinted his eyes. The appearance of the middle-aged man walking across from him showed that he was somewhat concerned about the country and the people, and yes, he was somewhat virtuous. Another immortal? Unusual. I'm afraid that in my hometown in the wild world, this guy is considered one of the immortals who can fight.

I can’t tell that Tongyezhou is quite talented.

According to the saying in the master's hometown, gold comes out of the dunghill?

The man took the initiative and smiled from his heart: "But Taoist Priest Nen?"

The young Taoist narrowed his eyes and said, "Who are you?"

The other party introduced himself: "I come from the Great Dragon Qiu in the Middle Earth. My name is Situ Mengjing, and my Taoist name is 'Dragon Beard'. I am now the acting mountain lord of Xiao Longqiu in Tongye Continent."

Taoist Nen nodded, "Oh, Xiao Longqiu, I've heard of it."

It seems that Yuanyangzhu's fight was quite famous and was already known to the whole world. Are you looking for an opportunity to have a fight with an old monk at the Ascension Realm?

In other words, you have been with the master for a long time and have been immersed in it. Otherwise, there would be an extra word "no" in this perfunctory sentence.

Taoist Nen suddenly asked: "Didn't you hear that Xiao Longqiu sealed the mountain? Who is Master Situ?"

Maybe he felt that asking such a question was a bit of a slap in the other person's face. If he had to say that his solid realm was there, he certainly wouldn't be afraid of the other person being an immortal and overthinking it.

It’s just that today is different from the past. If you are too careless in what you say and do, it will easily bring bad reputation to the master Li Huai. If Li Huai is wronged, the old blind man will be unhappy. If the old blind man is unhappy, his young Taoist will lose half his life even if he dies. , anyway, that’s the truth.

So the young Taoist immediately changed his face, squeezed out a smile that he thought was sincere, and said politely, "I just asked casually, Taoist friends, please don't take it seriously. If there is any offense, I will tell you here." Fellow Daoist Longbeard, please apologize and sincerely apologize."

In fact, Situ Mengjing was also wondering how the young Taoist priest from Nanzhuang who was almost beaten to death in Yuanyangzhu was so easy to talk to and understood the etiquette on the mountain tonight.

Situ Mengjing suppressed his doubts and explained with a smile: "Xiao Longqiu did seal the mountain, but when Da Longqiu heard that the dam was going to be excavated here, he wanted to do his best. I have dealt with some clans here. We will return to Xiaolongqiu soon."

The young Taoist smiled heartily and said, "Why should you rush back to the mountain, fellow Taoist Longbeard? It just so happens that I have just arrived here and don't have many acquaintances. Why don't you stay a few more days and let's have a few drinks? Do you dare to ask where my friend lives?" Is there a free house somewhere? If it's convenient, I don't have to worry about finding a place to stay."

During this trip, I will look for opportunities to meet a few more friends in the mountains. In the future, I will go on a long trip with Li Huai, and I will be able to have a good time wherever I go.

Perhaps the young Taoist was too enthusiastic, which caught Situ Mengjing a little off guard.

After just a little thought, Situ Mengjing still invited Taoist Nen to his residence for a drink.

A great monk in the Ascension Realm who is bound to be watched by the Confucian Temple now will not be innocent of any grievances, so he will plot against himself and Xiao Longqiu.

Some time ago, a letter was sent from Feijian to Mixue Peak, the immortal capital of Qingping Sword Sect, and it was sent to Xiaolong Qiu, who had indeed announced that the mountain was sealed.

Looking at the contents of the letter signed by Qingping Sword Sect Cui Dongshan, Situ Mengjing couldn't laugh or cry, Sect Master Cui, are you collecting rags?

Just thinking about the uproar over the excavation of Dadu, Situ Mengjing quickly figured out the intention of the Cui Sect Master. In the letter, the other party suggested that they Xiao Longqiu should not rush to announce that they had removed the two genealogy guardians. The enshrinement and deportation can be left to Yunyan Country. You might as well give them a chance to make up for their mistakes. They will just be a coolie for more than ten years without paying wages. This is called a small punishment but a big warning.

This is a good thing that comes to your doorstep. If Situ Mengjing were just a Dalongqiu monk, he might still feel awkward and unwilling to give in.

I have kicked them out myself, so there is no reason to take back the decree.

But now that he was the master of Xiaolongqiu Mountain, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart and wrote back a letter, agreeing to the matter, and also thanked Cui Dongshan in the letter.

If the mountain had not been closed, participating in the excavation of Dadu would actually be a good choice for Xiao Longqiu. Following this line of thought, Situ Mengjing only thought about it for a moment, and immediately sent a letter to the Great Dragon Qiu of the Middle Earth, asking the Ancestral Master Hall to send out the Digital Mirror Immortals, led by them, and each of them would bring a group of direct disciples and outsiders of the sect. The disciples came over and went to Tongyezhou together to help with the excavation of Dadu. It's not of much use, but it's more or less a thought. It can be regarded as Tongyezhou Xiaolongqiu's statement on this matter, so as to restore some reputation on the mountain.

Manhuang Taoting, who already possesses half of the Mountain Refining Technique, is now a famous young Taoist in the world.

If you add the old master of Yiluohe who came here secretly, the old demon of the Wilderness Throne will stop.

These two great demons in the Ascension Realm, one can move mountains and the other can overturn seas, are both the best at their natal magical powers.

Yulindu, a large ferry named Tongyin, is particularly eye-catching.

Not only is the Tongyin Ferry very eye-catching, but also because there is a great swordsman surnamed Mi on this ferry now, who is in charge of the Tongyin Ferry.

Mi Jianxian only occasionally walks out of the building to relax, standing on the railing, wearing white clothes and carrying a sword, with outstanding grace.

On the ferry side, there are often female cultivators from various immortal mansions lingering here, mostly young women, just wanting to see Miyu's grace.

Every time Mi Yu showed up, women would scream.

As one of the initiators of the excavation of Dadu, Qingping Jianzong came out with great momentum this time.

The team was led by accountant Mr. Zhong Qiu and chief worshipper Mi Yu, accompanied by Jingxingfeng Cao Qinglang, Jindan swordsman Tao Ran, young swordsman He Gu and Yu Xiehui.

Yuan Ying realm Lao Qiu Qiu Du came from the Shangzong side, including Shui Jiao Hongxia who was also in the Nascent Soul realm, and Yunzi who was still in the Longmen realm for the time being.

There are also puppets including gold masters, moyu'er and mountain lifters, and a large group of talisman warriors who are used to cut mountains, unload ridges and open rivers.

Tonight Mi Yu is entertaining guests in person.

Zhong Qiu and Cao Qinglang are really not suitable for each other.

Because they were two sword cultivators from their hometown who came from afar, one looked like a young man and the other looked like an old woman.

They were named Xing Yun and Liu Shui respectively.

Not long after they arrived in Tongyezhou, they first went to Xiandu Mountain, but in vain, they went straight to the capital of Yunyan Kingdom.

Inside the room, Xing Yun smiled and said, "Are you Mi Yu?"

Miyu nodded and said, "I am."

Fortunately, Mi Yu had stayed at the summer palace and often helped Lord Yin Guan, doing some chores like archiving secret records. Otherwise, if he had been a sword cultivator like the Great Wall of Sword Qi, he might not have known the origins of these two old sword cultivators. .

Two old swordsmen who had been away from home for many years had previously shown their natal flying swords to Mi Yu, and then given a personal letter from Qi Tingji.

For the monogram at the end of the secret letter, Qi Tingji used sword energy as the ink. Mi Yu's inspection was correct, and even if their identities were confirmed, he sent a letter with Feijian and sent it to Jise Peak of Luolu Mountain.

Xing Yun said doubtfully: "I remember that when Mi Hu was a child, he didn't look very good."

Liu Shui nodded and said bluntly, "It's ugly."

Xing Yun couldn't help but ask: "You two brothers really have the same father and mother?"

Miyu smiled and said: "We are brothers."

In his hometown, Mi Yu had already heard such unpleasant words, but he never paid attention to them.

What's more, the local sword cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi are rough in speech.

After all, those who like to be arty like Sun Juyuan are in the minority.

As for Chen Xi, the head of the Chen family on Taixiang Street, he is really knowledgeable.

But there is one strange thing about Mi Yu. Xing Yun and Liu Shui are sword cultivators of the same generation. They are similar in age. Their natal flying swords are "Gao Zhu" and "Crescent Moon", "Ancestral Temple" and "Incense". " is also a perfect match, but the two of them dislike each other. According to the secret records of the summer palace, if they become Taoist couples, their respective realms of cultivation can be greatly improved, but when they left the Great Wall of Sword Qi The reason is actually because they don’t want to see each other.

Liu Shui hesitated for a moment, then said frankly: "In the wild world, I met the hidden official Xiao Xun, and she didn't make things difficult for me. Otherwise, I would never have been able to see the city head alive."

Xing Yun was obviously hearing about this for the first time, and sneered: "Who doesn't know that you were a follower behind the hidden official Xiao Xun when you were a child? It's not surprising that she let you go."

They seem to be still used to calling Xiao Xun Yin Guan.

Liu Shui sneered and said: "How much better are you than me? You will flatter Mr. Dong and beg him to teach you the superior swordsmanship. Have you passed it on to you? How much have you learned?"

Miyu didn't want to get involved in this bickering.

The room fell silent.

Xing Yun said slowly: "Why is Gao Cheng dead?"

Liu Shui said: "Why didn't you tell me why Zhou Cheng died? I'm almost heartbroken now."

Xing Yun was silent again.

Miyu asked: "Drink some wine?"

Liu Shui raised his chin towards Xing Yun and said, "Bring him two pots so that he can drown his sorrows with wine."

Xing Yun snorted coldly, stood up, left the room, and went to the bow of the ship to take a breath.

The old woman glanced at a sword hanging on the wall, her eyes showed approval, and said: "Not bad."

Mi Yu said: "Chen Chun'an, a pure scholar, once gave me moonlight and helped me refine the sword. That's why my sword has its current appearance."

The old woman asked doubtfully: "A scholar like Chen Chun'an is willing to interact with someone like you?"

Miyu smiled and said: "Thanks to Lord Yinguan."

The old woman asked: "You seem to approve of Chen Pingan?"

Mi Yu said: "Senior Liu had better call him Chen Yinguan."

The old woman laughed and said, "Just because he is the head of your sect?"

Mi Yu didn't answer the question, "In terms of combat merit, according to the calculation method of summer palace, the two of you combined are not as good as me. In terms of realm, I am a swordsman, and you and Xing Yun are just Jade Swordsmen."

The old woman pretended to be surprised and said: "That's it."

Mi Yu smiled and said: "In the Jianqi Great Wall, Daoling can't be a meal or a drink."

The old woman stood up.

Miyu stood up and said, "Two seniors, what are your plans next?"

Don't drive Liu Shui and Xing Yun to the Longxiang Sword Sect because of your poor hospitality.

Liu Shui smiled and said, "Let's see again."

When they reached the stern of the boat, the old woman raised her hand and gently stroked her temples.

Who was not a beauty when she was young?

It is a mansion under the name of Honglu Temple in the capital. Almost every few days, Liu Youzhou will change to a "snail shell" dojo with different scenery.

In the study, there was a bamboo mat, and Liu Youzhou was holding chopsticks in one hand and snail noodles in the other, wolfing down his food while staring at a map on the wall.

A long river in the future Dadu is marked with different colors on the map, like a colorful rope.

Each section is like a bamboo joint, which is a section of water. Each force is responsible for the excavation of a section of the road. The construction period is set and no delays are allowed. If a certain force makes good progress, it can be invited to help the other forces who have not caught it. Spend money to eliminate disasters and avoid being held accountable by the Patriarch Hall for missing work. As for the matter of "joining the dragon", the Ancestral Master Hall has arranged for a special immortal master to be responsible for this matter.

The officials from various countries who were present at that time were almost all human beings. After a quick calculation in their minds, they immediately realized that this algorithm for evaluating merit was extremely beneficial to forces like them. So each of them, each in his own way, took a few glances at the mountain gods sitting opposite the Patriarch Hall. Do you really have no objection at all?

The Ministry of Etiquette and the Ministry of Punishment sent out offerings to honor the immortal masters, the Ministry of Industry dispatched various craftsmen and civilians to serve, and the Ministry of Household Affairs paid from their own pockets.

On the Dadu Waterway, try to avoid the five mountains of various countries and the temples of mountain gods, so as not to violate the taboo of conflicting mountains and rivers. Of course, if a certain country's court is willing to change the old site, let's talk about it separately.

Large and small, Dadu passes through fifty-two countries. Even if a new country is established in the near future, it will not exceed sixty.

Among them, there are thirty-four vassal courts with suzerain states. Unless there are special circumstances, they are unable to participate in the discussions of the Patriarch Hall.

Therefore, during this meeting at the "Ancestral Master Hall", many monarchs, generals, ministers and ministers from small countries came here, either to establish relations with the overlord country, hoping to have a seat at the table, or to simply come here to protest and curse.

At Dafu Academy, located in the middle of Yizhou, Lu Jin, the deputy mountain chief, came personally, bringing with him a sage named Yang Pu. At Wuxi Academy in the south, deputy mountain chief Wang Zai led a gentleman, but in Tianmu Academy in the north, it was strange that only one gentleman came. Logically speaking, the domineering deputy mountain chief Wen Yu should show up for both public and private purposes.

However, these deputy masters of Tongyezhou Academy, gentlemen and sages, were actually just going through the motions, sitting in line to observe.

As expected, except for the sage Yang Pu, they have all left Yunyan Country one after another.

There are also a few unexpected and interesting things. For example, Xiao Longqiu invited a group of mirror workers from Shangzong Dalongqiu.

And now, Taiping Mountain, which has only three mountain masters and three worshipers, has a group of outstanding Qi practitioners. It seems that their level is not low, and they must be from other continents, because they have just started to learn Tong Qi. Yezhou Yayan.

Of course, the most eye-catching one is the Qingping Sword Sect who has turned from a dragon crossing the river into a local snake.

Under normal circumstances, it is not easy for foreign forces to establish a sect in a continent, and it is not easy to gain a foothold in Tongye Continent. In the north, Tongye sect is like a mountain. The huge Peach Leaf Alliance in the past is now It was getting a little awkward. Since the Daquan Dynasty, Pushan Yuncaotang, Jinding Temple, Bailong Cave and other immortal mansions seemed to be excluded, there were signs of a sudden appearance and separation. And once you miss this grand event, the weight of Golden Summit Viewing and speaking on Tongyezhou Mountain will naturally be greatly reduced.

It is reasonable to have two chairs in that Patriarch Hall. Therefore, some people who temporarily added seats in the middle of the journey attracted more attention, such as Yu Xuanfu, a female martial artist from the Yu family of the Mysterious Dynasty of Middle Earth.

Especially Liu Youzhou. Good guy, this is the Liu family of Aaizhou, the only son of Liu Jubao, the God of Wealth!

Some good people commented that if the group of men who were full and hungry all came to Pushan Huang Yiyun and Empress Daquan.

Then at least half of the fairies are coming to Liu Youzhou! What kind of thing is it to catch a son-in-law under the official list? Is it comparable to being the daughter-in-law of the Liu family directly?

In addition, there is Shi Yuyan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Dachong Dynasty, a former lovebird who is said to have turned around.

In order to support a fairy from the Rouge List of Huashen Mountain in Yunku Blessed Land, he did not hesitate to use public funds. His Majesty the Emperor was almost angered and ordered him to be dragged out and beheaded.

He was such a young man who came from an official family. He was supposed to have thin skin and tender flesh, but he never wanted to be so tanned and so strong that no one could recognize him at once.

In the study room, there is also the only direct disciple of the martial arts master Pei Axiang in Aai Aizhou, the female grandmaster who was born in Lei Gong Temple, Liu Suiyu.

She stood by the table and looked at a "legendary painting" written by Liu Youzhou on the table. Liu Suiyu smiled and said: "If Chen Ping'an or Cao Ci sees this painting, you will probably be unable to eat and carry it around."

It turns out that Liu Youzhou painted a world-famous painting of "The Battle between Qing and Bai" in the Merit Forest.

Cao in white, Chen in green.

The two Zijing warriors were fighting like a gangster in the market. One of them, Cao Ci, had a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Liu Youzhou grinned.

Liu Suiyu asked: "We have negotiated with Emperor Qin of Yunyan Kingdom. Do you really plan to wrap up all the ink ingots produced in this country?"

Liu Youzhou nodded and said: "Ink comes out of Yunyan, and is unique in a continent. Such good ink must not worry about sales. I didn't make much money before, but it was limited by the single sales. It happens that what our Liu family lacks the most is commerce. The route is nothing more than the list of family ferries, plus the addition of Yunyan Ink, which does not occupy much territory. I have roughly calculated that the profit is not low. I am only worried that after a few decades, the market will be completely opened, and Yunyan Ink will The output cannot keep up.”

Liu Suiyu joked: "Business skills are really innate?"

Liu Youzhou smiled and said, "I just saw too much."

Liu Suiyu laughed it off.

Liu Youzhou suddenly asked: "Aunt Liu, apart from a few continents that want to take revenge on the barbaric world, what about the Middle Earth Divine Continent and Liuxia Continent? Why do you think there are so many people so willing to fight? Why are they not afraid of death at all? Woolen cloth."

Liu Suiyu said casually: "Blood, interests, and reputation all have their own reasons. Just saying that the Qi practitioners on the mountain can be recorded in the Ancestor Hall's chronicle is a reason that cannot be underestimated. As for the generals of the imperial court at the foot of the mountain, Soldiers naturally want to make achievements on the battlefield, and they probably think that it is a very honorable thing to be included in the family tree and local county annals."

Liu Youzhou sighed softly and continued to eat snail noodles. There was a slurping sound in the study.

Liu Suiyu asked curiously: "How have you considered what Gu Can said?"

Liu Youzhou said: "Wait and see."

Liu Suiyu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll say it again, it's best not to get too close to people like Gu Can. If you weren't Liu Youzhou, it would be easier to say."

Liu Youzhou said: "If I weren't Liu Youzhou, what else would Gu Can want to do with me?"

Recently, Liu Suiyu got some words from Yu Xuanfu and learned more about the inside story. In that narrow encounter in the wild world, it was Cao Ci who took the lead on Haoran's side and was unstoppable. But in the end, the monk who sealed the victory was Gu Can from Baidi City. It was his magic hand, combined with the eleventh realm punch delivered by Cao Ci, that broke the deadlock. Yu Xuanfu is as tough as Yu Xuanfu. When he and Liu Suiyu talked about this incident, they both felt a little frightened. This shows how dangerous the fight was.

On the other side of the wild world, taking advantage of the right time and place, there are bamboo baskets, flowing white, autumn clouds, fish element, graceful, Ziwu Meng, golden elixir, Yuanying, jade Pu, and shimmering.

On this side of the world, only Renhe is relatively dominant, including Cao Ci, Fu Xi, Yuan Yu, Gu Can, Yu Xuanfu, Chunqing, Zhao Yaoguang, Xumi, and Xu Bai.

Of course, there is also Jiang Shangzhen, whose Taoist name is Bengchuanzhenjun, and Feng Xuetao, who is an Ascended Realm Loose Immortal and whose Taoist name is Qingmi.

The wind blows and the sea stands, and the clouds hug the mountains.

At dawn, Liu Mao, dressed in a Taoist priest's attire, and a man in a Confucian shirt stood side by side on the west coast of Tongyezhou, and the sea breeze with a faint fishy smell blew in their faces.

The latter made a strange gesture. He stretched out one hand with the palm facing up, and then raised another hand with the palm facing down.

Previously, in a Chi County in the Gyeonggi region of Yunyan Kingdom, Cui Dongshan found a scholar who was condensed from the literary fortune of Tongyezhou.

This person gave himself a pseudonym or a Taoist name, Barnyard Official.

Now he is a guest at the Mixue Peak of Xiandu Mountain, which is rather strange. He is not a registered guest at the Qingping Sword Sect, but is somewhat similar to a family guest.

Cui Dongshan promised this person that they could go to the Chinese Confucian Temple together in the future to seek advice from Xiping, a Buddhist scholar.

Liu Mao took out a copy of "Celestial Phenomenon and Star Chart" published with permission from the Confucian Temple.

Not far behind them was the Hailong Mountain. In the Taoist temple in the mountains, Cui Dongshan, the largest pilgrim and financial sponsor, secretly built two buildings to observe the stars at night and measure the transportation of the East China Sea. Liu Mao has now formed an elixir. When the official duties of the Daquan Dynasty Ministry of Industry are over, he will come here to practice Taoism and help Cui Dongshan secretly build a planetarium and a seismograph. Of course, the drawings were drawn by Cui Dongshan. Liu Mao is proficient in arithmetic. At most, Mao is responsible for... odd jobs and post-maintenance of the two instruments.

The barn official asked: "Taoist Longzhou, when will you return those engravings?"

Liu Mao was feeling aggrieved. It couldn't be said that Sect Master Cui was just slandering others and deliberately framed the situation, right?

The barnyard official backed down and said, "I can buy it back with money."

Since Liu Mao couldn't explain anything, he simply broke the jar and said, "No need to talk."

The barnyard officer frowned and said, "Did you really steal it?!"

Liu Mao, who looked like his crotch was covered in yellow mud, took a deep breath and said, "Whatever you say."

The barnyard official squatted down and held water in his hand.

Only when the water connects to the sea can it be called sacrilege, but this is only one of the necessary conditions.

Just like the Mihe River in the Daquan Dynasty, the Peijiang River near Pushan, the "Women of the East China Sea" Kou Xuanqu, and the local water god Qinghongjun failed to become the righteous gods of rivers. And the Ling River, which is thousands of miles long, only For several He Bos, the highest level of gods listed on the golden and jade genealogies is only the seventh rank. However, in the vast world, there are two rivers with water veins of no more than three or four thousand miles that enter the sea, and they still receive the title of Dadu.

The barnyard official returned the sea water in his hand to the sea and said, "I heard that the Daquan Dynasty where Master Liu lives has a very large mountain dock? Is there another one under construction?"

Liu Mao nodded and said: "Your Majesty has great talents and strategies, and has extremely far-sighted vision."

This kind of dock building for Xianjia ferries, especially cross-continental ferries, is extremely labor-intensive. It may take five to ten years to build a prototype ferry, and it will take a long time before it is actually "launched." Building a cross-continental ferry by yourself is a groundbreaking initiative in Tongyezhou, and it can be said to be unprecedented.

Barnyard Officer said: "Compared to the Great Li Dynasty of Aquarius Continent, the gap is still not small."

Liu Mao said: "It's boring to put it this way."

Not to mention the Daquan Dynasty, even among the ten old dynasties in the world, who can continue to build sword boats and mountain ferries like the Dali Song family, just like...flying kites and making dumplings?

Liu Mao remembered something. Cui Dongshan had asked him before when he was taking him to Yunyan Country.

Tongyezhou once belonged to the continent, and the local monks all had their eyes set on the top. However, in such a place, there is neither a cross-continental ferry, nor has it ever been thought of owning a large river. Is it true that such a closed state is just a hobby? A mess? Be it Du Mao of the Tongye Sect or Xun Yuan of the Yugui Sect, they are not stupid, right? If a Tongyezhou landmass is viewed as a mountain, what do you think of this approach?

At that time, Liu Mao blurted out two words without thinking, "Seal the mountain."

Cui Dongshan nodded, "Who said rotten wood cannot be carved? It clearly can be."

The sect of Tongyezhou deliberately did not go to the Great Sword Qi Wall, and failed to transfer the luck of swordsmanship from the Great Sword Qi Wall to feed the continent. Over time, the sword cultivators became scattered and insignificant. Three thousand years ago, before the battle of slaying the dragon, the Aquarius Continent in the north, which can only be said to be the boundary of ancient Shu, was filled with sword immortals like clouds and sword lights rising everywhere. Liu Guan, do you really think that the Taoist monks in Tongyezhou are not envious or jealous? After that, the Qi of Aquarius Continent declined, and for three thousand years Hedong and Hexi, the wind and water changed, and Tongyezhou began to overlook Aquarius Continent. During these three thousand years, there was some planning. Just because someone wants to rely on an ancient method of sealing mountains to lock the mountains and rivers of a continent, so as to give birth to a fourteenth realm similar to the one with the right location.

Of course it's a stupid idea. But it's better to be safe.

If it hadn't been for the barbaric attack on Haoran, which turned Tongyezhou into a sieve with air leakage from all sides, otherwise there would indeed be some chance here. It might be Du Mao, it might be Jiang Shangzhen chosen by Xun Yuan, or Wei Ying. In short, they all have a chance to compete.

Before leaving the capital, Liu Mao, who was responsible for supervising the construction of Jiju pen, met with the emperor again.

Yao Jinzhi looked up at the sky and asked Liu Mao with a smile, "Have you seen the black clouds? The kind of black clouds that cover the city."

Liu Mao was stunned by this meaningless question. Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor did not give in and continued. It is said that when the number of floating sword boats of the Great Li Dynasty is large enough, this kind of scene will appear.

There is a saying about Liu Mao's children's Daquan Mirage City.

The empress Yao Jinzhi was once in the imperial study. She held a yellowed bamboo painting pole and struck it heavily on the borders, hinterland and capital of several countries including the Daquan Dynasty.

She and a group of important officials from the temple spoke sternly, saying that the foundation of a strong country is territory, territory, territory!

————

In the north of Tongye Island, Tianmu Academy.

Deputy Mountain Chief Wen Yu went out on a trip and visited all the northern dynasties and many small countries. Except for a few imperial courts, Wen Yu did not reveal his identity.

It's like a silent Beijing-Chao plan.

When I heard that Mr. Wen had returned to the academy, he was suddenly filled with awe despite the somewhat relaxed academic atmosphere.

Wen Yu was in the academy and was mainly responsible for the teaching of military strategy and arithmetic. In fact, he was not the kind of Taoist who taught with a straight face. On the contrary, Wen Yu's words were humorous when he started teaching.

But everyone in the academy, from gentlemen and sages to all the students, was most in awe of Chief Wen.

After Wen Yu got off the boat, he did not return to his study and walked to the mountain behind the academy. When he came to a secluded courtyard, the mountain chief Fan Jiandan and the deputy mountain chief Kang Kai, two old masters, were already waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.

Wen Yu bowed to them, and chatted for a few words at the door. In fact, Chief Fan had communicated with Wen Yu through letters about the details.

Lu Bilong, whose real name is "Dragon Palace", is ostensibly the master of Jicui Temple and the protector of the country in the Yu Dynasty. Her true identity is more hidden, and she is a direct disciple of Wanyao Sect's Ancestral Hall.

She left the sect in her early years and came to Tongyezhou alone, with the intention of reaching the upper five realms and creating a sect for the Wanyao Sect.

For this reason, the sect master Han Yushu did not hesitate to teach her two extremely superior ancient Taoist methods in private, so that Lu Bilong could become a Nascent Soul. He also promised her that after this was accomplished, not only would she be allowed to expand her Taoist lineage independently, but she would also be able to expand her Taoist lineage for thousands of years in the future. Yaozong will also give her a batch of Taoist embryos on time. In the Wanyaozong Patriarch Hall, she can have at least two seats with her Taoist lineage.

When the demon clan quickly captured most of the territory of Tongye Continent with overwhelming force, according to the instructions of Wanyao Sect of Sanshan Blessed Land, she was asked to try to preserve the vitality of the Yu Dynasty and take refuge in the secret landscape of Qingzhuan Sect. When the demon clan withdrew from Haoran World, Wan Yao Sect issued another decree to her, secretly annexing the Qingzhuan Sect, which had only two Jindan monks, hoping that she could build another sect on this basis.

In this way, when Wanyao Sect, relying on the "war exploits" of the immortal money, establishes the next sect in Tongyezhou, and when Lu Birong successfully enters the Yupu realm in the future, Qingzhuan Sect can be replaced by Qingzhuan Sect. , and before she "retreats and breaks the realm", she first looks for an opportunity to join the Wanyao Sect and become a genealogy monk. At that time, the Wanyao Sect can be promoted to the "authentic sect" and have both the upper sect and the lower sect.

The academy had already "interrogated" Dragon Palace once before, and had already risked his life to go to "Jicui Guan Lu Bicong". He said everything that should be said and what should not be said.

It's just that Tianmu Academy has yet to reach a conclusion. Dragon Palace knows this very well and is waiting for the deputy mountain chief, Wen Yu.

Previously in Jicuiguan, the boy in white, whose true identity was still unknown, had used the identity of Wen Yu to scare her, and the effect was very good.

Because the three of them, Wen Yu, all wore jade plaques from the mountain chief that symbolized their status, they were able to ignore the landscape restrictions in the courtyard and step into it.

Dragon Palace, who was detained here, had been notified in advance and was already standing outside the main door, greeting the three academy chiefs and wishing them blessings.

When Long Gong met the real academy Wen Yu, for some reason, Long Gong was afraid of this young Confucian scholar at first sight.

The whole person instantly felt like falling into an ice cave, and there was an involuntary shiver down the spine.

Of course she was also afraid of the boy in white, but she felt more absurd than awe.

So Wen Yu glanced at Dragon Palace, and she lowered her head subconsciously, not daring to look at him.

The two old masters looked at each other and found it funny.

Sure enough, it will be up to our Deputy Commander Wen to take action.

Although he is a prisoner, the Dragon Palace is on the academy side. In addition to being unable to leave the courtyard, in fact, no prisoner should have "treatment". There are many books in the academy.

At present, there is already a tacit consensus among people on and off Tongyezhou Mountain.

If you do something wrong, don't fall into the hands of Tianmu Academy Wen Yu.

At the foot of the mountain, Tianmu Academy may be able to take punishment lightly, but once the monks on the mountain violate the prohibition, the academy will always take it seriously.

After the three academies were rebuilt one after another, especially when Wen Yu served as the deputy head of Tianmu Academy, Tongyezhou soon figured out some ways. Therefore, the mountain monks and local monsters in the north of Tongyezhou felt guilty and guilty. Those who can't stop the fire will take the initiative to go to Dafu Academy in the middle or Wuxi Academy in the south. They would rather take a long way around and take risks than go to Tianmu Academy where there is a gentle and gentle person. That is not called surrender, it is simply self-surrender. If you don't die, you will lose half your life.

Because all convictions and punishments will be announced to the public as soon as possible by the three academies.

There is no doubt that Tianmu Academy punishes Qi practitioners far more severely than Dafu and Wuxi Academy.

Crossing the threshold of the main room, three mountain chiefs were sitting in a row, and Dragon Palace stood alone on the opposite side.

After Fan Jiandan and Kang Kai sat down, Wen Yu sat down and stretched out his hand to the Nascent Soul Realm female cultivator opposite him and pressed twice, "Since we haven't been convicted yet, don't be too formal. Let's sit down and chat."

When Long Gong heard this, his heartstrings tightened instantly. It was actually better not to say Wen Yu's words.

She sat on pins and needles in her chair.

"Either the Wanyao Sect has secretly colluded with the Wild Demon Clan, or it has deliberately concealed the information, which is a case of not reporting the information. In my opinion, the former is obviously more likely."

Wen Yu's first words today are equivalent to drawing a conclusion in advance for the interrogation that has not yet started today. Not only the Dragon Palace, but also Wan Yao Sect and its leader Han Yushu.

Fan Jian, the mountain chief, said nothing.

Wen Yu continued: "When the Dragon Palace left the Wanyao Sect, it was too long before the wild monster clan attacked the Great Sword Qi Great Wall. The Wan Yao Sect sent her to Tongye Continent under the pseudonym Lu Bilong and entered Luojing Ji. Cuiguan served as the real protector of the Yu Dynasty, and then led a large group of people to hide in the Qingzhuan Sect. This series of actions were closely linked, and Wan Yaozong and Han Yushu were obviously well prepared."

Deputy Mountain Chief Kang Kai couldn't help but said: "Sect Master Han is a senior immortal, and Sanshan Blessed Land is an ancient secret land with a long history and hidden inheritance. So Master Han cannot infer through secret techniques and hexagrams." ...The weather has changed? And have you planned for this in advance? Although Sanshan Blessed Land is suspected of being independent, it is still human nature. Firstly, Han Yushu is not a disciple of Confucianism, and furthermore, Wanyao Sect has no connection with the Confucian Temple. Wen Isn’t it a little inappropriate for the mountain chief to make such an assertion?”

After all, the outside world does not know the origin of Sanshan Blessed Land, but the Confucian Temple and the Academy are still somewhat vague.

It is one of the ancient dojos of Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou, so there may be some mysterious inheritance of magic and magical powers, which is the only knowledge that outside monks cannot have access to.

Assuming that Han Yushu had indeed calculated the subsequent war, no matter whether the results of the hexagrams or mental arithmetic were clear or vague, it would be a bit overwhelming to ask Wan Yaozong to go to the Confucian Temple to alert the Confucian Temple on such a huge event.

Is it true that the Lu family of the Yin and Yang family in China is a wine bag and rice bag? You, a remote Wanyao Sect, are the only one who can accurately predict the secrets of heaven and see the stars clearly?

What's more, let's not talk about the entire vast world, just talk about the Middle Earth Divine Continent. There are many strange people and strangers. In addition to the Lu family, there are many people who are proficient in celestial phenomena and divination.

"With Wanyao Sect's background of sitting on the blessed land of three mountains, it is not impossible to open the door one day and own the upper and lower sects at the same time, and then through your paving the way outside, it is not impossible to complete the feat of becoming the 'authentic ancestral court' in one go."

Just through this series of careful planning, we can conclude that Wanyao Sect and Han Yushu secretly colluded with the wild monster clan, but there is no evidence in the end.

Mountain Chief Fan Jiandan was from the lineage of Ya Sheng and was his disciple.

Kang Kai, the deputy mountain chief, was from the Spring and Autumn Academy lineage, and his cultural background belonged to the Gongyang sect, which had changed several times between explicit and hidden schools.

Therefore, Deputy Chief Wen’s second sentence was very Wen Yu, “I have collected information through different channels and carefully studied the Wanyao Sect, and finally concluded that you are suspected of colluding with the demon clan, which is not a small matter. .”

There is suspicion of guilt, and there is no doubt of guilt. The two methods of judging cases are one of heaven and one earth.

Wen Yu's way of doing things is very simple. It's not like the academy looking for evidence to finally convict you, Han Yushu.

But you, Han Yushu, must find evidence by yourself, and then take the initiative to prove your innocence to the academy.

Dragon Palace suddenly turned pale.

Wen Yu asked in a calm tone: "How can Han Yushu ensure that you have no different intentions and will not seek refuge with Tongye Sect or Yugui Sect and choose to establish your own business outside?"

Dragon Palace replied: "What the Wanyao Sect can give, the Tongyezhou Sect cannot."

She explained in detail why she said this.

The preacher of Dragon Palace is an old Yuanying who is enshrined in the ancestor hall of Wanyao Sect. He has passed away for a long time. As the eldest disciple of Dragon Palace, he has become the pillar of her Taoist lineage and has to help safeguard the family business for her master. , it’s just that this lineage of incense has faded. Now, including Dragon Palace, there are only six people left, and the remaining five are all middle five realm Qi practitioners. The nephew with the best qualifications is also the Dragon Gate. Realm, that's why Long Palace wants to carry forward its own lineage again. If she turns to Tongye Sect or Yugui Sect, with Han Yushu's methods, I'm afraid her lineage will be completely severed.

Wen Yu asked: "Since Han Yushu has set up a sect secret ban on you, and he will detect clues if you have any deviation, which can make you die immediately, why did you come to the academy on your own initiative?"

Although Longgong was doubtful, because Deputy Mountain Chief Kang had asked about these matters before, she still honestly repeated it, saying that it was the Great Heavenly Master from Longhu Mountain, and Mr. Liang helped to peel off the cocoons. The young man in white with an unpredictable temperament from before taught her a great trick when she was leaving Jicui Temple. All "unexplainable" things that happened to Wen Yu in the academy were directed towards the Great Heavenly Master Liang Shuang. push. With this shield, you don't have to worry about your life. Besides, if you surrender, the academy will not beat you to death.

Wen Yu and Long Gong said, "The monks from Wanyao Sect's side branch who share your Dharma lineage will follow Han Yushu to the academy."

Ryugu breathed a sigh of relief.

It was like an amulet given to her by Tianmu Academy.

In order to prevent the Wan Yao Sect from settling accounts with her, and not daring to fight with the academy, they would vent their anger on the monks of her lineage.

Fan Jiandan said: "Wen Yu, this matter is very important. Do we need to report it to the Confucian Temple immediately?"

Deputy Chief Kang Kai nodded, it was safer to do so.

Wen Yu said, "Of course there is a need to report. It's just that leaving the Dragon Palace can easily scare off the enemy. By the time Wan Yaozong comes to his senses, the day lilies will be cold."

"Although there is a puppet left at Jicui Temple in Luojing, it may not be able to hide it from an ordinary Wanyao Sect monk, but it may not be able to hide it from Han Yushu, who is in the Immortal Realm."

"In the name of the academy, send a letter to Han Yushu, saying that we have something to discuss. Immediately after receiving the letter, ask him to come to Tianmu Academy in person and explain all the issues clearly."

Fan Jiandan was a little hesitant, "After all, he is the master of an immortal sect, and Han Yushu is still in charge of the historic Three Mountains Blessed Land. Is it okay for our academy to do this?"

Wen Yu smiled and said, "If he were a monk in the Fourteenth Realm, I might not be able to hire you."

The implication is that, let alone an immortal, even a great monk in the Ascension Realm must come to Tianmu Academy to explain things clearly to me, Wen Yu.

Kang Kai said: "Judging from the current evidence provided by Dragon Palace, it is not enough to convict Han Yushu of Wanyao Sect."

Wen Yu said: "When I ask Han Yushu, I will naturally have evidence."

Kang Kai quickly glanced at Fan Shanchang, "Good guy, you've just started drinking tea with your head down. We were both listening attentively just now, and we didn't see you raising your cup to drink tea."

Kang Kai sighed, "Chief Wen Shan, doing this seems to be against the rules."

Wen Yu asked in return: "Which rule does the Confucian Temple have that does not allow a vice-president of the academy to invite a sect leader to the academy for tea?"

In Tongyezhou, the scholars in the academy will listen to you when they talk to you.

Fan Jiandan and Kang Kai looked at each other, both old men feeling helpless.

As for why Wen Yu insisted on letting Han Yushu come to the academy in person, the two mountain chiefs naturally knew the reason.

Wen Yu has his own means to verify the truth.

Just like Wen Yu's "unnecessary" interrogation of Dragon Palace today, it was not a formality.

It's just that the realm of Dragon Palace is not enough, so she doesn't realize it. In fact, they are all in Wen Yu's small world at the moment.

There was once an authentic calligraphy hanging in Wen Yu's study, the content of which was taken from a poem.

"My cottage is small, outside the shadow of the dragon and snake, amidst the sound of wind and rain."

They are currently located in this study. All words and thoughts will be recorded one by one by Wen Yu.

In addition to being a gentleman from the Confucian Academy, Wen Yu is actually a swordsman.

Previously, Wang Zai visited Tianmu Academy. In Wen Yu's study, he turned to a page with a book seal carved by Wen Yu himself. At the bottom, there were eight characters: There is a road in the mountain of books, and you can see the sea in the high sky.

Wen Yu showed up today. In addition to the gentleman's jade pendant attached to his waist, he also had a green bamboo tube inside which actually housed an ink monkey as big as a fist. It was as rare as the book-turning style. The ink monkey was born to feed on ink. It will be conceived in certain "scripture" books.

One is the mountain of books and the other is the sea of ​​ink.

It should be noted that Wen Yu possesses two natal flying swords at the same time, named "Sanque" and "Reading Sound" respectively.

The most important thing is that Wen Yu is not currently worshiping a sage in the Confucian Temple, but he already has a natal character!

After walking out of the house, Wen Yu said goodbye and left first.

Kang Kai looked helpless and said, "Young and energetic."

There is no time for such a strong and powerful deputy headmaster at the Tianmu Academy stall.

Fan Jian smiled lightly and said, "That's how we came here too."

The mountain chief stretched out his hand and patted Kang Kai's arm, "Besides, it's true that we were both young once, but during those young years, in addition to studying and learning, we were exegesis, and barely achieved a small amount of success. It seemed like Besides, there’s nothing worth saying.”

The implication of Fan Jiandan's words was that Wen Yu was arrogant and had his own reasons and confidence for his arrogance. The two of them were just older, and their words were acceptable, but their achievements were incomparable to Wen Yu's.

"Old Kang, I'll tell you an inside story. Don't tell anyone else. Previously, at the Confucian Temple, there were two high priests from the academy who jointly recommended Wen Yu for an unusual promotion and directly served as the headmaster of a certain academy. Wen Yu himself refused. , saying that because of his academic ability, he could only be the deputy director of the academy. Of course the Confucian Temple agreed. Later, Wen Yu chose our Tianmu Academy on his own. The Confucian Temple also asked him if he had a suitable candidate for the director. With you and me as our partners.”

Kang Kai smiled and said: "What a good Wen Yu, does he think we have no temper and can talk easily?"

After Fan Jiandan separated from Kang Kai, he hesitated and went to find Wen Yu.

Fan Shanchang said softly: "Wen Yu, not only do I not dislike your sharpness, but I am very pleased. I sincerely feel that this is what a Confucian scholar should have, and I even feel a little envious of you. Young people must have youthfulness." Human energy, but at the same time, I hope you must make proper use of your talents. The sheep will be lost due to differences in the avenues, and the scholars will be killed in many directions. Of course, this sentence is a bit strong, so don’t think it’s unpleasant.”

Wen Yu bowed to express his thanks and said in a deep voice: "Remember Master's teachings."

Fan Shanchang smiled knowingly and nodded. Unfortunately, Mr. Kang was not present and could not see this bow.

After Wen Yu left, the old man stroked his beard and smiled. It was good to be young.

I want to go on a spring outing with the young man, but it will not work after all, so why not.

————

The Qinghu Palace in Qingjing Mountain is a towering ascension platform that reaches into the clouds.

Master Lu held a fly whisk in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the golden sea of ​​clouds outside the mountain.

Next to Old Yuanying stood a young Taoist priest with a white jade chime hanging from his waist. He was walking on a pair of slippery shoes, which made him look handsome.

He hesitated to speak, looked down at the sneakers on his feet, and swallowed his words back to his stomach. However, when he looked up at the slightly tired master, the young Taoist priest still couldn't hold it back and whispered: "Master, Disciple knows best about your friendship with Master Chen, but Master Chen always asks for elixirs like this. In just a few years, he has already asked for it three times. When will this happen? If this continues, Master will simply be like them. He is the royal alchemist of Luopo Mountain, and now Master Chen has another sect, and it is in our Tongye Continent. If the Qingping Sword Sect speaks again in the future, will he agree or not?"

He is one of Lu Yong's proud disciples, named Zhao Zhu, and his Taoist name is "Xianxiu".

He was the disciple that Lu Yong brought up the mountain himself. He almost wanted to accept a disciple on his behalf, but the master was lazy by nature and was unwilling to accept even a disciple in name only.

The last time I sent a furnace of Yuhua Pills to Pushan Yuncaotang, it was this direct descendant who did it for me. Zhao Zhu is also the most promising young Jindan in Qinghu Palace to become Yuan Ying.

Not to mention that every furnace of precious elixirs, even just one, is a big favor in the land of Tongye and Aquarius on the mountain today.

Lu Yong smiled and said: "Promise, why not agree?"

Zhao Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "If master feels embarrassed and is afraid of hurting the harmony, let the disciple be the villain. Next time I will politely refuse the request of Shanzhu Chen or Qingping Sword Sect."

Lu Yong waved his whisk, turned his head, and smiled at this disciple who spoke sincerely and had firm eyes, "Then have you ever thought about it, if I don't refuse in person, but just let you show up, the other party will only know it, which will make you even more hurt. Kind?"

The old monk turned back to look at the sea of ​​clouds and said with a smile: "In this complicated world full of intrigues and lack of sincerity in treating others, we often don't care so much about being deceived by a smart person, but we will always be angry at being deceived by a fool. .”

Zhao Zhu thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "It's my disciple who thinks simply."

The old monk smiled and shook his head: "That's only half right. It's because your thinking is not simple enough."

It turns out that last time the Feng Yuan ferry passed by the Qingjing Mountain ferry, Master Chen once again had the shamelessness to bite the bullet and booked another pot of Qinghu Palace's signature Zuowangdan with Qinghu Palace and Old Immortal Lu.

It was said that he was asking for the elixir for a friend who was a martial artist at the end of the world, Daquan's new national master, Han Guanghu.

Nowadays, there are as many people as the crucian carp crossing the river asking for the elixir from the Qinghu Palace. Lu Yong can only choose and agree, and never guarantees the exact date of handing over the Yuhua Dan to all parties.

Jade Guizong in the southernmost part of Tongye Continent, Jinding Temple, Xiaolongqiu, Bailong Cave, etc. in the north. If you go further north, Baoping Continent, there are many people seeking elixirs. King Luo on the side of Dali Capital Song Mu, Tianjun Qizhen Shen Gaozong, as well as Fengxue Temple and Zhenwu Mountain, the two Aquarius Continent Military Family Ancestral Courts, Laolongcheng Fu Family, Yunlin Jiang Family, Changchun Palace, and the Taoist Immortal Lord Cao Rong's Zuolingfei Temple... Here at the foot of Tongyezhou Mountain, most of the ten newly selected dynasties have not forgotten the Qinghu Palace, or they were written by the emperor's royal pen, or they were written by the national master and the protector of the country on their behalf, all with Lu Yong Those who have ordered the elixir can take as little as three hundred years or as long as five hundred years, so Lu Yong can't even think of being idle.

Even so, when Chen Ping'an asked to order the elixir, Old Immortal Lu did not hesitate at all and agreed without hesitation, "What's the problem? The chief minister of the Daquan Dynasty, Liu Zong, had already asked Pindao for a furnace of elixirs." The medicine was given to Daquan Yao in advance when I used the drag formula."

Chen Ping'an said with shame at that time: "Brother Lu, I will try my best to ensure that nothing happens."

Once I asked for it myself, once I helped Pushan Yuncaotang, and this time I asked for it for Han Guanghu.

Lu Yong smiled heartily and said: "There's no such thing as too much of a good thing. Brother Chen, please don't be polite to me. We don't speak the same language as one family."

In fact, regarding the reconstruction of Qinghu Palace, Lu Yong followed the previous agreement with Chen Pingan and gave a long list without any politeness, asking Feng Yuan Ferry passing by the Land of Three Continents to help purchase the necessary items. Chen Pingan said that at the time In fact, if you don’t make money, you won’t lose money either.

But Chen Ping'an still felt sorry. Before going down the mountain, he gave away a long-cherished "nothing" sign with the number eight engraved on it.

Lu Yong didn't show any pretense and accepted it on the spot.

In fact, Chen Pingan, Qinghu Palace and Lu Yong do have a close relationship and a good relationship.

You must know that Chen Ping'an's first important refining treasure was the five-color Golden Chamber Stove bought with fifty Grain Rain coins.

Only then, above the sea of ​​clouds in Old Dragon City, with Fan Junmao's protection, could he successfully refine a five-element natal object.

Fan Junmao spoke directly, "You don't call it buying, you call it picking up."

"Zhao Zhu, finally I will teach you two secrets on how to behave in the world. Keep it in mind and try to figure it out. It will benefit you throughout your life."

"Disciple is willing to hear the details."

"When dealing with the world, you need to be careful with smart people, otherwise they won't lie to you. At the same time, you also need to be honest with smart people. Remember that if you are stupid, you are smarter."

Zhao Zhu silently remembered this experience and waited for the next step, but the master fell silent.

Zhao Zhu was puzzled and said: "Master, do you have one more warning about how to behave in life?"

Lu Yong stroked his beard and smiled, "That means hugging one thigh shamelessly and not letting go!"

Zhao Zhu looked embarrassed.

Lu Yong reached out and patted his disciple on the shoulder, "You are still very young. You are thin-skinned now, but you will get better in the future."

If he is not a direct disciple, how can the old master orally teach secretly the secrets of cultivation that are worth a lot of money?

Zhao Zhu became increasingly embarrassed.

Old Yuanying raised the whisk and waved it away to scatter the sea of ​​clouds. Then he pointed the whisk at two places, one mountain and one river, and then used his magical power to remove the blindness that obscured the scenery of the mountains and rivers.

"Did you see that?"

"Do you think Mr. Chen just spent some manpower and material resources to help rebuild the Qinghu Palace and buy those immortal wood and various utensils?"

"This is called true reciprocity."

Lu Yong was filled with emotion, good disciple, you need to know that the special place of Qingjing Mountain, a geomantic treasure land, is not the abundance of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but the richness of the spiritual energy. Which sect does not have it, Yugui Sect, Tongye Sect, Qingjing Mountain How can Qinghu Palace compare with large sects like them? But in the entire Tongye Continent, only our Qingjing Mountain, receiving the blessings left by the ancient immortals, can accumulate merit, incense, and martial luck in the aura. And what’s surprising is that even the great monks can’t take them away, so they just linger here, as if the cloud roots have taken root in the rain. Otherwise, with the behavior of Tongye Sect Du Mao, I would have been asked to hand over the share of the ancestor. The secret of alchemy has been handed down. Let me set a price and he will pay for it.

It can be said that Du Mao has a big appetite and wants to connect people with the formula and become the vassal of Tongye Sect together with Qinghu Palace. No matter how domineering Du Mao is, he still has to weigh the reputation of Shanshui.

What's more, Du Mao, it's nothing. In fact, the great monk that Master is really afraid of is from Yugui Sect...

At this point, whether it was taboo for the venerable or for the deceased, Lu Yong did not continue to talk. Who is the Jade Guizong that can make this old Yuanying so afraid?

If Lu Yong hadn't wanted to refine a few more pills at once, otherwise even the old immortal as the owner of the mountain would not have been able to discover the mysterious "long flowing water" here.

So if we really want to talk about money, it is actually Qingjingshan that makes the money. The further the future goes, the greater the profits will be.

The old master just changed the subject, "After all, those pills that Master gave to Taiping Mountain for free in the early years were not given in vain. After all, with the Lord of Heaven here, no one in Tongye Continent dares to bully our Qinghu Palace. "

Mentioning the Taiping Mountain where the sect was destroyed and only one person was left, the old master sighed heavily, with a sad look on his face.

A continent of mountains and rivers, with or without a Taiping Mountain, is really different.

I only hope that today's Taipingshan Huangting can really successfully rebuild the sect, and when it blooms in the future, it can truly inherit the character of the Taipingshan monks.

He has a strong character and profound Taoism. Although he practices Taoism in the mountains, the immortal has a chivalrous spirit!

Lu Yong turned around and glared: "You still have the nerve to wear the sneakers given to you by Mr. Xiao Mo?"

Zhao Zhu smiled and said: "Put on your shoes with your feet, not your face."

Lu Yong sighed and praised: "You are making progress!"

"Before, I was worried that you would be acclimatized, but now, I feel relieved."

Zhao Zhu was confused.

Lu Yong smiled and said: "Master, I plan to help you find a registered guest in Luolu Mountain, and one who has a position in the Jise Peak Ancestral Master Hall."

Zhao Zhu asked: "Why didn't Master ask for this identity himself?"

Lu Yong laughed and scolded: "You're an idiot!"

Zhao Zhu thought about it and quickly figured out the link.

Master does not need this kind of icing on the cake, only the disciples of Qinghu Palace need it.

The rivers and lakes are white at sunset, and the sky and earth are green when the tide comes.

Wu Yi sniffed this Wanli River connected to the sea, narrowed his eyes and smiled. It was indeed a place where dragons flourished. It was unmistakable to establish a sect here.

As the eldest daughter of the old Jiao Cheng Longzhou, she has the Taoist name Dongling and is in the Nascent Soul realm.

She is a dragon with extremely pure blood, and is close to water. She may be able to detect the distribution and flow of water veins and accurately distinguish the weight, turbidity and clearness of water than a gas watcher.

However, if she wants to walk by water in the future, this Leng River is still not enough. Firstly, the water in the Lern ​​River is too gentle, which is not in line with her natural temperament. Secondly, the water transport is not strong enough to support the walking of a Nascent Soul Realm water dragon. Jiang Zhengdao.

Therefore, Wu Yi would never have come here to settle down if Tongyezhou was not about to build a dam.

Previously, Wu Yi traveled south across the continent to Tongyezhou to congratulate his father and emptied half of the Ziyang Mansion's treasury.

Although his father, Cheng Longzhou, is now the headmaster of Dafu Academy, the family law still exists. Wu Yi and his younger brother, who is the water god of Hanshi River, are destined to live in the shadow of their father for the rest of their lives.

When she returned to Ziyang Mansion of Huangting Kingdom, she emptied out the remaining half of the treasury, and then asked the master of the palace Huang Chu to bring a genealogy. She circled some names, except for a few of the middle five caves. , Guanhai Realm monks, mostly lower fifth realm monks with better qualifications, followed her south and established another gate in Tongye Continent.

In Wu Yi's eyes, those "old monks" with high realms have made mistakes in their practice, and their skins and souls are almost rotten. On the contrary, those young lower-level qi practitioners who have not made much improvement, she still has the opportunity to correct them and embark on the road to success. Right path.

Then this group of Qi practitioners followed the Dongling Patriarch and went south to Tongye Continent, started a new business, drew a clear line with Ziyang Mansion, and were about to re-establish a sect in a foreign land.

For Qi practitioners like them, there is actually more joy than worry. When a new sect is established, the genealogy will be re-established. It is said that a small number of lucky people can be directly promoted to direct disciples of the Dongling Patriarch. Some of them are in Ziyang Mansion. Those who don't have a seat in the Ancestral Master Hall may still have a chance to get a seat in the new sect. After all, having a seat is equivalent to a large extra salary of immortal money, which is the most practical benefit.

A huge force of more than 80 Qi practitioners left their hometowns with their ancestors and rushed to the central part of Tongye Continent. They stopped at the bank of the Ling River. They were truly starting from scratch.

This should be left to other places in Tongye Continent. A mountain sect led by a Yuanying realm monk and with nearly a hundred monks has directly become one of the top "sects".

For some reason, after Wu Yi reached the Nascent Soul realm, he would always think of the wandering Taoist priest who wore yellow clothes and hemp shoes and carried a sword on his back.

That was also the first time Wu Yi saw his arrogant father paying such homage to a human qi practitioner. Unfortunately, he didn't know the other person's name, and his father was not willing to have a few words with her.

He just said some prophecies that were like riddles, one of which was "Use a finite body to refine the boundless fire courtyard."

If it weren't for Xiao Luan, the water god of the Baihu River who is a close neighbor on the mountain, it was the Taoist priest who threw the wine cup and transformed into Canna? Haha, Wu Yi really doesn't like her.

Chen Pingan personally acted as the "matchmaker" when he suggested that Wu Yilai assist the Dugu family of the old Zhuying dynasty of Aquarius Continent to establish a country on the banks of the Lian River. At that time, Wu Yi said that the matter was important and needed to be carefully considered.

In fact, it is just a scene statement, and it is a ridiculous consideration. Huang Tingguo, who is in such a small place and can hardly use his hands and feet, will be a real protector of the country. If he really wants to join the officialdom, he will be tied to Huang Tingguo and go around. In the world of officialdom, there are so many things that she needs to look at. Should she abide by the rules of the Dali court? That Beiyue Mountain Lord Wei Bo who held a night banquet when he had nothing to do was a fuel-efficient lamp? What if we have another night party?

As for her younger brother, who was the god of cold food and rivers, and her sister, they had always had a friendly relationship on the surface. Of course, it was not like they were part of the same family, and Wu Yi didn't think he would be any better off.

As for the Ziyang Mansion, Huang Chu is probably rolling around with joy now.

I have finally become the real head of the Ziyang Mansion. I no longer have a founder, and I don’t have to worry about following in the footsteps of previous palace lords, who often shut down people by shutting them down.

At this moment, Wu Yi was surrounded by several "local snakes", His Highness the Crown Prince of the old Zhu Ying Dynasty, whose pseudonym was Shao Poxian, and a Nascent Soul realm sword cultivator.

Dugu Menglong, the future empress of that small country.

There is also a young female cultivator named Shi Qiu, who is not even in the cave realm and can be ignored.

Wu Yi didn't even know what Shao Poxian was doing with such a vase. Even if he was using it as a vase, he couldn't find a good-looking one.

Wu Yi glanced at Shao Poxian with a playful look on his face: "They are all poor people, no wonder they get together."

The old Zhu Ying Dynasty, which once ruled the central Aquarius Continent, was really unlucky to encounter a Da Li Dynasty that could occupy a whole continent.

Otherwise, Shao Poxian, the former Crown Prince, even if he is destined to be unable to inherit the Dugu clan due to his mountaineering practice and excellent sword training qualifications, he can still be a more carefree and comfortable monarch on the mountain than the emperor at the foot of the mountain. That Zhang Long at the foot of the mountain Taking turns sitting in the chair, Shao Poxian is always an ancestor.

As for Wu Yi himself, giving away an ancient sword pill in exchange for the position of a real protector of a small country is not a big loss.

What's more, aren't all big dynasties descended from small countries?

Mountain spirits and water monsters belonging to the dragon family, the level of spiritual practice is most important to the quality of birth.

At this point, Wu Yi has an innate advantage. She is a natural water dragon and does not need the extremely dangerous step of the aquatic tribe to go to the river to transform into a dragon.

If we use a metaphor, Wu Yi was born into the emperor's family as soon as he was reincarnated.

The problem is that the Taoist dragon has too much experience in the world and has both advantages and disadvantages. It can only be said that according to the history of Haoran countries, the destiny of a country in the Yamashita Dynasty has the law of "a small disaster in three hundred years and a big disaster in eight hundred years" , a country has a country that lasts for three hundred years, which is not too short, and it is definitely not a short-lived dynasty. But for the dragon who is born with longevity, just three hundred years is not a long time. Jiao's father, Cheng Longzhou, and the old Qiantang chief Cao Yong, why are they unwilling to leave the dojo easily to assist the king of the world.

Once you are too deeply involved with a country's destiny, you will easily suffer disaster.

Therefore, even if he is as advanced as Cheng Longzhou, he has only served as the Minister of Rites in Huang Tingguo. It is more like having nothing to do and going out for a walk to breathe.

Generally, only those descendants of dragons who are unable to form elixirs will take risks, and they all like to choose a new court that has not been long since the founding of the country. Anyway, the farther away from the three-hundred-year deadline, the better.

Shao Poxian smiled and said: "Our Majesty will help fellow Taoist Dongling in exchange for a place in Dadu."

Wu Yi twitched the corners of his lips, "This kind of verbal promise, with a few pleasant words, is very light."

Shao Poxian said: "As long as Fellow Taoist Dongling is willing to contribute, I can help get a definite answer from Sect Leader Cui regarding this default quota."

Wu Yi asked: "Don't you just go to Chen Ping'an directly?"

Shao Poxian smiled and said: "For the affairs of the next sect in Tongyezhou, Lord Chen has made up his mind to be the master of the matter, so it is enough to ask Sect Leader Cui."

Wu Yi was noncommittal.

Shao Poxian asked: "Fellow Taoist Dongling, have you ever thought of a name for the new sect?"

Wu Yi's eyes shone brightly and he said in a deep voice: "First call me Chunyang Mansion. When I reach the Jade Pu Realm, it will be Chunyang Sect."

————

Sunny day.

A Confucian scholar in a blue shirt with slightly frosted temples, holding an oil-paper umbrella, climbed gradually along a mountain road.

Next to him was a wild cultivator from the Ai Ai Continent, whose Taoist name was Qing Mi, whose real name was Feng Xuetao. He was wearing a python suit with a white belt and an iron mace hanging from his waist.

He was accustomed to being at home all over the world, and he did not establish a sect or accept disciples. The so-called friends on the mountain are fair-weather friends who both parties know very well.

His thunder technique is of its own kind.

The Confucian scholar twirled the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, I really don't regret it. Not only do you serve as the family worshiper of our Jiang family's Yunku blessed land, but you are also willing to become the chief guest of the Jade Gui Sect? Don't force it."

Feng Xuetao smiled and said: "I can leave a life without even falling into trouble. What else can I be dissatisfied about? Not to mention these two identities, even being a personal guard for someone and protecting the Tao secretly for hundreds of years doesn't count. What, there is nothing to be unwilling to do."

It's embarrassing to say that he has the highest realm and the least contribution.

Many times, Feng Xuetao, a dignified Ascension Realm monk and a wild cultivator, was completely unable to intervene.

It was only in the later stages, when they became familiar with each other, that Feng Xuetao helped a little bit.

There is a pavilion on the top of the mountain, named Dicui, and there is a plaque hanging on it, "Exquisitely designed."

Located on the steep peak of Longwei, it is said that the Lord of Dadu Dragon Palace once stayed here.

Jiang Shangzhen put his hand on his temples and sighed: "Wealth and splendor, fame and wealth are just a dream of spring. Those who cannot live forever will be like a mayfly in this life."

Feng Xuetao smiled and said: "Brother Jiang has such good qualifications for cultivating Taoism. There is no suspense about his promotion in the future."

Jiang Shangzhen failed to take possession of Jiuyifeng, which was regarded as the "hidden residence" of Jade Guizong. He was depressed and marginalized, so he took a trip to Beiju Luzhou.

At that time, Jiang Shangzhen spoke freely and claimed to be the direct disciple of Qingmi from the Divine Continent of Middle-earth. As he came and went, many of the genealogy fairies on the mountain were frightened by Jiang Shangzhen.

So every time when Master Huolong travels to the Middle-earth Divine Continent and has some free time after finishing his business, he will go to Feng Xuetao to reminisce about the past and say that you have taken on a good apprentice and made a big name in our Beiju Luzhou.

That's why in the wild world, those who claimed to be "Beng Luo Zhenjun" would say something like, "This junior is too late to save me and deserves death."

Feng Xuetao asked curiously: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, who are we going to meet at the top of the mountain?"

Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "He is a close friend. When I was able to serve as the chief worshiper of Luolu Mountain, he contributed a lot."

In an instant, the top of the mountain was filled with clouds and mist, and Feng Xuetao narrowed his eyes.

Who kind of friend is Jiang Shangzhen, and his hospitality is so mysterious?

I saw a young man in white jumping out of the pavilion on the top of the mountain. He raised his two arms and tilted them high. On the side of the road, a beautiful woman appeared, playing the piano, flute, or pipa. ...The young man in white jumped forward again, stretched his arms in another direction, and there were fairies playing jade flutes, konghou, and chime bells and jade chimes...

Although Feng Xuetao didn't know the other party's identity for the time being, he was absolutely sure of one thing. The other party must be Jiang Shangzhen's friend, and he was a very good friend on the mountain!

Normal people would definitely not be able to create such a scene.

Jiang Shangzhen walked quickly, high-fived the young man in white, bumped their elbows, twisted around, exchanged positions, repeated it again, and finally shook hands, all in one go.

"Chief Zhou! If you don't come back, I will have to endure the grief in my heart and prepare a suona for you!"

Jiang Shangzhen said with a stiff face: "It's really not necessary."

Cui Dongshan whispered: "Have you received the letter?"

Jiang Shangzhen nodded and said: "I got it. I know that a very popular Mr. Xiao Mo has come from the mountains."

Cui Dongshan said sadly: "They like the new and hate the old, and they are disenchanted with the new. One by one, they have all turned to Mr. Xiaomo now. There is no way to stop him. Brother, I see it in my eyes, and I am worried about it. I feel miserable in my heart. No matter how I know I tried to use reason and emotion, and repeatedly said how good Chief Zhou was, but no matter how much I tried to persuade him, it was of no use."

The boy in white beat his heart hard, "My heart aches."

Jiang Shangzhen rubbed his chin, another battle between avenues? I don’t know if there is any chance of winning this time.

Cui Dongshan asked: "Who is this?"

Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "He is a friend in need who I have admired for a long time. He is a senior on the mountain over there in Aai Aizhou. His Taoist name is Qingmi. You must have heard of it."

Cui Dongshan's face was full of admiration, "Ah? You are the one who unfortunately failed to participate in the meeting of the Confucian Temple when you arrived at Yiaozhou Island, and was chased and hacked to death by my Master Zuo. Senior Qingmi?"

Feng Xuetao looked embarrassed.

Chat like this as soon as we meet? Do you think you are that Gu Qingsong?

However, the words "Uncle Zuo" in the words of the boy in white were enough to make Feng Xuetao shut up.

Cui Dongshan said angrily: "This old boy Gu Qingsong is nothing. He is far behind my family, Chen Lingjun, the little dragon king of Luoluoshan, and an old friend named Liu Gao."

Feng Xuetao's heartstrings tightened instantly.

Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "Brother Feng, just get used to it."

Cui Dongshan removed all the arrogance and walked into the pavilion to sit down together.

Cui Dongshan asked a question without thinking, "Now Jiang Shangzhen is not like Jiang Shangzhen at all, wouldn't you feel regretful?"

Jiang Shangzhen didn't seem surprised, and smiled and said: "To be honest, I am more or less unwilling."

Cui Dongshan nodded, our Chief Zhou still treats others with sincerity, good brother.

Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "It's nothing. Life is not perfect. Sometimes there are flaws. The moon is not full and the flowers are half blooming. Isn't it great?"

Cui Dongshan slapped his fist and said, "Listening to your sincere words, I really feel like Pingping is curling up."

Jiang Shangzhen sat on the railing, Cui Dongshan followed suit, and looked into the distance together.

Feng Xuetao sat near the steps so as not to disturb the two people's reminiscence.

Not long after, a drizzle began to fall between the sky and the earth.

Jiang Shangzhen opened the oil-paper umbrella, twisted the handle with his fingers, and threw it out, spinning like a flower and falling into the world.

"The joy of benevolence and knowledge lies between clouds and water."

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "If you have such a Taoist heart, you can travel thousands of miles."
