The big snow mountain stretches for thousands of miles, at this time the peak is white and snowy, wrapped in silver, like a fairyland, its west side is the Shenglan country, hundreds of years ago, the four original ancestors scattered and migrated more than half of the population from here, only then there is the current Qiguo, Donghai country, Suzhi country and Yuemi country, and Shenglan country and called the inland five countries.

Jimo Han, one of the five original ancestral realms, she founded the Luoshan Sect, and she also established the Yuemi Kingdom sixty years ago, she set the rules for this country, the country does not have an emperor, only the lord, and all sects and factions respect the lord. The name is different, but the imperial power is exercised.

She demanded that the lord must be elected, and the rules were simple, and it must be passed by more than half of the sects, sects, businessmen with voting quotas, and elected representatives before they could be implemented, and it became a paradise for sects, gangs and businessmen, so in just a few years, large and small sects and gangs flocked to it, and businessmen from all over the world also came. In a small country with a population of less than 3 million, there are dozens of sects and gangs.

That is, Mo Han has never personally held the authority of the Yuemi country, and he has never said anything, and he should ignore all trivial matters, even if he knows that all countries are infiltrated by sects in the Yuemi country, he will not interfere, but what surprises the countries is that decades of development have made this place extremely rich, although the land of thousands of miles is not large, and the dispersion of millions of people is still too scarce, but this kind of small country with almost everyone participating in state affairs has exerted a strong momentum of development.

......

"Old Xiang!"

A chubby boy who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old suddenly shouted loudly to a teenager in front of him, only to see that he was about sixteen or seventeen years old, although his complexion was slightly dark, but his appearance was dignified, handsome and handsome, he was looking down and pondering something, and it seemed that he had not heard anyone call him, and suddenly he only felt that a big fat hand was patted on his left shoulder, and he suddenly woke up, but then he guessed who it was.

"Xiao Wei, you interrupted me. He said dissatisfied, knowing that this was his friend Hu Wei.

Hu Wei stared at his face and said with some displeasure:

"Lao Xiang, you didn't come to me for almost a year, and forgot about me as a friend? If you hadn't met you on this street, when would you be looking for me? No matter how long it takes, you may not be able to recognize me!"

The young man known as Lao Xiang, whose real name is Xiang Jinlai, looked at the fat man in front of him and said:

"In the whole Bay City, just you are a big fat man, I haven't seen you for decades, you are nothing more than an old fat man, you don't know this public face, and you don't know the big belly?" Xiang Jinlai quipped.

Hu Wei laughed and said, "Come on, close your crow's mouth, I'm losing weight." You're getting more and more handsome, but it's useless! You can't practice, and you can only honestly find a mortal girl to live with, right?"

Xiang Jinlai was suddenly speechless, and his brows furrowed. When Hu Wei saw his expression, his face was a little sneering, and he hurriedly stopped, and when he got upstairs, he walked to a restaurant next to him, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, please drink." ”

Speaking of drinking, Xiang Jinlai immediately smiled, and said in his mouth: "I have to put things in the cup."

These two are officially playmates who grew up together since childhood, very good, both are in business, Hu Wei is seventeen years old, one year older than him. His father, Hu Xinghai, was engaged in salt production, and his business was also quite famous in Yuemi Country.

However, Xiang Jinlai was depressed at this time, and before the food was served, he picked up a pot of rice wine and poured a full cup and drank it all. Hu Wei saw that his friend was in a bad mood, and he didn't know how to persuade him for a while, so he was silent for a while, and then said:

"What's wrong with being a mortal, you don't have to fight and kill, live a peaceful and prosperous life, your family is not short of money, marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, no, two or three don't you see what our masters are happy to?

Silence to the king!

He has been inspired to practice since he was a child, but he couldn't become enlightened at the age of thirteen when he was tested in the sect, and the blow can be imagined. Because whether it is a boy or a girl, over the age of thirteen, if he is not enlightened and cannot perceive the existence of the Force, he is almost out of the path of spiritual practice. So in the past few years, in addition to the family business, I need to run in many ways, and I rarely interact with people.

Seeing his friend looking at him worriedly, knowing that he was afraid that he would be sluggish, he also changed the subject:

"I heard you're getting married"?

"You finally know?"

"So you want me to go with it?"

"The more the merrier!"

Hu Wei laughed as he spoke, and Xiang Jinlai also laughed.

"By the way, you and Uncle Xiang should be more careful lately?"

"Watch out for what?"

Xiang Jin saw that he was serious, took another drink, then put down the wine glass, and asked solemnly.

"The political situation?"

"Political situation?" Xiang Jin was a little surprised.

"My father said that!"

"What's going on?"

He then asked, Hu Wei's father he had also contacted many times, and knew that he was a shrewd and capable businessman, with extensive contacts and well-informed.

"Jimo Han is gone?"

"Gone?" asked Jin Lai in surprise.

"Yes!"

"Where did you go?"

"Nobody knows!"

Xiang Jin didn't know why, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Can an Ancestor Great Monk still disappear for no reason? Besides, who can hurt her?"

"Don't forget, what about the four original ancestors?" said Hu Wei.

"Aren't you a senior brother and sister?"

"Now he is the actual controller of the Five Kingdoms!" Hu Wei said with a strange look at Xiang Jin!

Xiang Jin was silent, his father let him take charge of himself in the past two years, and he had gained a lot of knowledge, but he didn't know much about the political affairs of various countries.

"So what?" asked Xiang Jinlai

"It's going to be another five-year election soon!"

"So what?"

"The sects of various countries in the Yuemi country will definitely compete, and this time they will definitely do whatever it takes, now the Yuemi country can be described as a strong financial resource, comparable to a big country, no matter who can control the other four countries, who will be able to rise in strength, so as to overwhelm the countries, the unification of the world is just around the corner, what interests can compare to expanding the territory?"

Hu Wei seemed to be in a hurry to tell Xiang Jin this, and without waiting for him to ask, he continued:

"My father has a friend in the Inspection Division, he said that Jimo Han has been away from Yuemi Country for a few months, no matter what the reason, if he still can't return before the election, Yuemi Country will really be in chaos, and he also said that many sects have begun to move. ”

"Aren't there still three disciples of Ji Mohan?"

"It's hard to be alone, we don't know about the things in the cultivation world, but seeing that some sects and businessmen are panicking, I'm afraid it's going to be chaotic!"

Hu Wei continued: "Yuemi Country doesn't know how many sects have been infiltrated by the other four countries, once they succeed, the first thing to suffer is not us merchants, Yuemi Country is okay, the royal families and magnates of other countries don't treat merchants as people at all, Shinong Industry and Commerce, listed as the lowest, they say so, and they do this, their own merchants will use it to knead at will, not to mention the enemy country?

"How to prepare?" Xiang Jin came to hear him say this, and he felt that it was very possible!

"Three holes of cunning rabbits!"

"What do you mean?"

"My father has already purchased a property in the Shenglan Country, if anything changes, we will go there for a while!"

"Understood, I'll tell my father about this when I go back, and it's up to him to decide!" Xiang Jinlai said after a moment of contemplation.

The two chatted for a while, but the wine was no longer drunk, and after parting, they each went back to their homes, and on the way Xiang Jin Lai was preoccupied, and he felt that when a businessman encountered such a situation, he was left to run away and hide, and like other mortals, he was like an ant in this world of many monks.

At this time, he couldn't help but fall into memories: when he was a child, he went to the outskirts of Bay City with a few playmates, and saw two monks duel with his own eyes.

In addition to the sound of the clanging of weapons, there was also a dull sound of breaking the wind, and every time their blades collided, the surrounding trees and flowers were slightly tilted, and the branches were broken and the stones were broken for a while, and the children suddenly felt that this was much more wonderful than what the storyteller said. At this moment, I didn't want one of the monks to have the Force uncontrolled, and one of the forces affected a child as old as Xiang Jinlai, and he vomited blood and died.

This incident happened in front of his eyes, he was just scared at the time, and many days afterwards he had this picture in his head, but he was not afraid, but was deeply touched, almost subverted his cognition, it turned out that people can still practice, they can be so powerful, and then he yearns for cultivation, and the relevant information that can be found in Bay City, and even listening to and hearing books, etc., as long as he keeps in mind the relevant practice.

Later, when he was twelve years old, his father Xiang Fu told him that he had a friend from Qiguo, who was his friend in the same village in Qiguo, was a cultivator, and later joined a sect called Cong Yunmen, Cong Yunmen can only be regarded as a small sect in Qiguo, and this time he was sent to Yuemi Country to assist an elder in developing a sect, saying that he was optimistic about the relaxed national policy here.

He was going to visit his home and hear from Jin Lai, as if he had found a treasure. His name is Xiang Wu, he is considered to be the same sect, he is called uncle according to his generation, and he is the only one in the village who can be enlightened and cultivated, and when he was taken away by the sect, the whole village went to see him off.

Xiang Wu is a self-acquaintance, come to Xiang Jinlai's house for a while everyone is alive, Xiang Jinlai is even more for a while an uncle called, very pleasing, pestering him to talk about the things about cultivation, Xiang Wu saw that he wanted to become a practitioner, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he told him everything he knew, although it was only a few hours in Xiang's house, but this is much richer than Xiang Jinlai's own reading, listening to books and asking around, and many of them are Xiang Wu's personal experience, which is simply to open a window to Xiang Jinlai.

It was then that he made up his mind to become a cultivator, and in the next few days, he asked his father to invite Xiang Wulai to be a guest at his house several times, and Xiang Fu saw that he was cheerful again, and his heart couldn't help but feel relieved, and he was worried that that incident would cause a shadow on him.

Xiang Wu also really liked this smart and sensible child, and after a few days, he told all the things about cultivation and the basic allusions of the cultivation world.
