The seat of the Pingdong Presbyterian Church is on the Jade Bracelet Mountain in the middle of the island. It is also a park on the island, and it is not usually visited by islanders.

Jade Bracelet Mountain is a ring-shaped hill, and a ring-shaped building has been built on the top of the whole mountain, but the name is very apt, called "Jade Bracelet Villa", which is scattered with some courtyards and small buildings. It is said that the elders of the Council of Elders usually practice and deliberate here.

In the center of the ring of the hill is a bottomless sinkhole.

Qiu Ci: When I introduced the structure and layout of the Presbyterian Church, I was standing on the suspended rope bridge on the sinkhole and looking down, and there was a dark patch underneath, and I couldn't see anything.

Fang Honggang probed his brain beside me and looked down with me, and suddenly said, "This is a crater." ”

Tiffany stood on the rope bridge, her body bobbing up and down with the wind-blown rope bridge, but still grasping the little orange by the collar with one hand.

The little orange was already frightened, and begged without tears: "Fifth Master, can you let me get off the bridge, it's terrible here." ”

Tiffany said expressionlessly, "Don't you know how to fly?"

I smiled and said, "Forget it, don't scare him, what if this is not a crater, but an entrance to hell? ”

When Little Orange heard this, he shouted loudly with his hands and feet.

The monk smiled and said, "Your Highness's words are wrong, since you have no head, where does your mouth eat people?"

Qiu Ci said: "In this sinkhole, there are really many people who went down to explore, but unfortunately none of them came back. The Council of Elders was also afraid of what was down there, so the House of Elders was built here. ”

I turned my head to look at Little Orange, but he laughed and said, "Master, can I go down and have a look?"

Tiffany angrily threw the little orange on the bridge.

I smiled and said, "You know that you are lying to your fifth master, have you forgotten what I said? ”

Little Orange quickly ran to the side and grimaced at Tiffany.

The monk said, "Brother Orange, don't go down, I don't feel right down there." ”

Little Orange said with a smile: "Big brother's feeling has always been very accurate, okay, I won't go down." ”

Let's talk about it

At this time, Zhu appeared at the bridge and shouted to me, "Your Highness, the members of the Council of Elders have arrived. ”

I walked to the head of the bridge and saw an old man in yellow waiting at the bottom of the bridge steps.

Descending the bridge steps, the old man bowed his hand to me and said, "His Royal Highness the Heavenly King Wuzhong, I am Li Xiandong, the rotating president of the Pingdong Elders' Association. On behalf of the Pingdong Island Elders' Council, I am here to formally inform Your Highness that the issue of the merger of Pingdong Immortal Island into the Immortal God Realm Special Zone submitted by Penglai Xianmen will be formally discussed at two o'clock this afternoon. Your Highness, please prepare your defense. ”

I smiled and saluted, "There's President Lao Li." Now it's almost time for dinner, why don't we have a light meal together?"

Li Xiandong said with a smile: "If the rules don't allow it, I'll leave." ”

I smiled and said, "Okay then, President Lee walks slowly." ”

Li Xiandong smiled and arched his hand again, turned around and walked away slowly.

Tiffany walked up to me and whispered, "It's weird. ”

I laughed and said, "It's weird indeed. ”

At such a close distance, I felt that there was obviously no fluctuation of immortal power and divine power on this Li Xiandong's body, nor did it have the unique breathing rate of a person with extraordinary abilities.

Qiu Ci said with a smile: "This person is the number one master of Fanghu Peak, a person who proves the Tao with martial arts. ”

I turned my head to look at Qiu Ci, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Lin Jing is the path of proving the Tao with martial arts, and the martial palace Liuzang is similar." They are all powerful warriors, but they don't have any special abilities. ”

Lin Jing and Wugong Da Qiao stayed in Daiyu Peak to accompany Qi Ming.

I smiled and nodded, and said with martial arts, Lin Jing seems to have mentioned it before, and I can only go back to Daiyu Peak and ask her again.

Lunch was arranged by Qiu Ci, and we had lunch at Jade Bracelet Villa.

At 1:50 p.m., a weak-crowned boy led us through the cloister to the outside of a temple-like hall.

I smiled and said to everyone, "Elder Qiu, Little Orange, and Fang Honggang will accompany me in, and the rest of us will wait here." ”

The guards obeyed, but they only sat down to rest in the corridors on both sides of the main hall.

When I entered the main hall, I saw that the outside of the temple-style hall was decorated, and the inside was similar to the lecture hall of the Human World University.

I walked to the speaker in the center of the hall, looked at the thirty elders who were already seated on the three-story circular platform around the speaker, smiled, turned back to Qiu Ci and said, "Sit down." ”

The three of them sat down in the seats behind me.

I walked up to the podium, looked at the microphone in front of me, and couldn't help but smile again. I thought to myself, I guess I misjudged, this place is still keeping pace with the times.

Li Xiandong, who was directly opposite the podium, knocked on the table and said into the microphone: "Elders, today we have the honor to invite His Royal Highness Wuzhong Heavenly King of the Immortal God Realm Special Zone, he will answer the elders' questions on behalf of the Immortal God Realm Special Zone, on the issue of the merger of Pingdong Immortal Island into the Immortal God Realm Special Zone submitted by Penglai Xianmen, please welcome." ”

Applause rang out.

I nodded around the venue with my eyes, and found that the applause on the left side was warmer, the applause in the middle was a little sparse, and the right side was even more unpleasant.

I smiled and said into the microphone, "Hello elders, I'm Xu Jinyue. Chairman Lee's presentation is a little incomplete. That is, I not only came on behalf of the Immortal God Realm Special Zone, but also on behalf of Huaguo. ”

There was a "buzzing" sound in the venue.

I smiled and continued: "I came with a desire for peace, and I also came with the expectation of equality, mutual benefit, and win-win cooperation. So the purpose of my visit this time is nothing more than one, I hope that Pingdong Xiandao can return to the country, after all, we have the same roots, we are all Chinese. ”

The applause on the left rang out again, and there was a little applause in the middle, while on the right, except for the "buzzing" chatter, there was still no applause.

Li Xiandong knocked on the table with a smile and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your speech." I will now invite the elders to ask questions, and those who raise their hands first will take precedence. ”

I saw an old man in a green shirt on the left who took the lead in raising his hand.

I smiled and reached out and made a gesture of please.

The old man knocked on the microphone and said, "Your Royal Highness the Heavenly King Wuzhong, may I ask what Penglai Peak's proposal says, on the basis of equal consultation, the completely autonomous Pingdong Immortal Island, what does it mean, and what is the degree of autonomy?"

I smiled and said, "The meaning of autonomy is what it literally means. The main reason is that Pingdong Xiandao belongs to the state, and all the people in Pingdong Xiandao are citizens of China. As long as you admit this, then you can talk about anything, and the state and the Immortal God Realm Special Zone can even give you all-round support to help you develop. ”

I paused and continued: "As long as you recognize Huaguo, and on the basis of consultation on an equal footing, you can have as much autonomy as you want. ”

There was an uproar in the venue, and the sound even overpowered the sound of Li Xiandong tapping on the table.

I laughed, and it was actually the effect I wanted, because I even saw a couple of old men on the right, and they were already arguing.

Li Xiandong shouted into the microphone: "Silence." The surrounding voices quieted down, and Li Xiandong continued: "Elders, don't be impatient, and continue to ask questions." ”

One of the elders on the right raised his hand, and I still smiled and said, "Please." ”

The old man looked at me twice, and then said, "Your Royal Highness Wuzhong Heavenly King, what do you want from Pingdong Island?"

I smiled and said, "What we want, of course, is not the resources of Pingdong Immortal Island, let alone the people on the island. ”

There was another sound of ear-to-ear exchange around them.

I smiled and continued, "Of course, we're not generating electricity for love. Pingdong Island, can freely shuttle between the human world and the fairy world, such a natural trade zone, if it can be used as a transit station, the products of the special zone can be sent to the human world, and the things of the human world can be transported to the fairy world, think about it, for the human world and the fairy world, and even for Pingdong Island, how much significance is it?"

Yes, since I had the intention of including Pingdong Island in the Special Economic Zone, I thought about the issue of trade.

At present, the passage from the Special Zone to the human realm is only Longshou Mountain and the Secret Realm of God, both of which have certain requirements for the passage of goods and people, and the Secret Realm of God even needs divine power or energy to open. This has caused a great obstacle to trade between the two circles, and even to the development of the special zone and exchanges between the two circles.

However, if these two islands are in place, there will be no obstacles to trade and personnel exchanges between the two worlds, and the development of the special zone will almost certainly be ten or even a hundred times that of what it is now.

The elders are not stupid, and some of the elders have already stood up excitedly when I said the words "natural trade zone".

The old man who asked the question clapped his hands and continued: "If this is really the case, then can I collect taxes on Pingdong Island?"

I spread my hands, shrugged my shoulders, and said, "Didn't you say earlier, the degree of autonomy is as big as you want." You can even register a company in the Special Economic Zone and produce medicines in an open and honest manner, as long as the efficacy is significant, in the human world, you can sell as much as you want. ”

Nonsense, the products of the Immortal God Realm Special Zone, which are extremely popular in the human world, have been ordered in many places until three years later. And the immortal medicine of Pingdong Island, because it has not been tested, is illegal in many places, which Qi Ming has already told me.

I watched the old men talking excitedly to each other, and I couldn't help but feel a little proud. In this world, there is no one who is not moved by interests, and the same is true for immortals.

At this time, an old man in the middle stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, don't be impatient, it's just a question now, do you want to vote?"

The meeting room fell silent, and the old man sat down and said into the microphone, "His Royal Highness the Heavenly King Wuzhong, I want to ask a question. ”

I smiled and said, "Excuse me." ”

The old man said, "I know what you mean by a high degree of autonomy, after all, the Immortal God Realm Special Zone is a living example. The problem is that some of us like our current life very much, and we can't leave with these people like the King of the East Pole. Have you ever thought about how to solve this problem?"

I smiled and said, "Is there a high degree of autonomy, the Council of Elders, of course, it is still the Council of Elders, the Five Peaks Immortal Sect, and it is also the Five Peaks Immortal Sect." We don't send people to be leaders. ”

The old man smiled and continued, "But the worldly people don't think so, how do you know that they want to live an outside life?"

I smiled and said, "Call my little apprentice to answer this matter." ”

Turning my head, I said to Little Orange, "Little Orange, what do you think of Pingdong Immortal Island?"

Little Orange stood up, walked to the microphone and said, "Grandpa, I think this island is like a remote mountainous area in the human world, and even the power of my game console is gone, and it can't be charged." ”

I smiled and motioned for Orange to return to her seat. Then he said into the microphone: "Elders, this is the feeling of my apprentice Xiao Chengzi, I think, secular people are not ignorant of the development of the human world, otherwise, there would be no things in the human world on this island." ”

The room fell silent, and all the elders looked at me and Little Orange.

I smiled and said, "Elders, it is human nature to yearn for a better life. As long as Pingdong Island is modernized, and the lives of secular people are better than before, they will support the Presbyterian Church and Wufeng even more. ”

The crowd fell silent, as if they were all thinking about my words.

Seeing everyone's performance, I decided to add another fire, so I said: "If Pingdong Island returns, on behalf of the country, I promise to allow Wufeng to go to the human world to open a dojo, and the government will give the greatest support to the immortal sects." ”

It was as if a bomb had been dropped on a calm lake, and the entire venue was instantly boiling.

The elders began to discuss aloud, and several of them were still arguing, and I even saw an old man in the middle, with a vigorous pace that was very inappropriate for his age, rushing to the right, grabbing an old man with a gray beard and striking him.

I said into the microphone, "Do you have any questions, elders?"

But no one paid attention to me, and even Li Xiandong was debating fiercely with an elder in the middle.

I spread out my hands and shrugged my shoulders, turned around, and said to the stunned little orange and Fang Honggang behind me, "Let's go." ”
