Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Elementary Mission
There are mountains in the Taiji Holy Realm, with a total of 360 peaks, and there is a palace on each peak. There are a total of 36 Taoist masters in the www.biquge.info realm of pen & fun, each in charge of ten peaks. Xiaoyaozi Daoist resides in the Guiyan Peak Immortal Temple, and there are about 100 disciples under the seat, who live in the Taoist Temple on the ten mountain peaks. The peaks have always been in contact with each other, but most of the time they practice separately. Whenever there was something important to discuss, the thirty-six Dao Masters would meet in the Xuanji Pavilion above the Holy Realm.
When Lu Xiaofan first came, he felt that the number of immortals in the Holy Realm was too small. Later, when I saw the power of my brothers and sisters, I didn't worry about it anymore.
Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty spent a period of leisurely days in the immortal view of the pine room, playing the piano under the moon, discussing the sword in the clouds, and quiet on the stone, and spent another three months learning talisman spells, and entered the realm very quickly. Daoist Xiaoyaozi was very pleased, and on this day, he called the two immortals to the Danfang to assign tasks. Fighting and learning is the fastest way to learn.
Xiaoyaozi Daoist opened a map, which was the same version as the map given by Su Yu at first glance, but there were many changes on closer inspection. Xiaoyaozi Daoist introduced that this map is a map of the changes in the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons, and it is updated every three months. Because there are many sects in Yuguangtian, there are many small countries, and they are at war with each other all the year round, constantly annexing and disintegrating, so it is rare to have a fixed jurisdiction.
According to Daoist Xiaoyaozi, at present, the Taiji Holy Realm is concentrating its efforts on dealing with the Yang Ming Kingdom, and the priest and priest of this country are also its king and prince, and the Yang Ming Sect that he believes in has caused great harm in Yu Guangtian. It seemed normal when it first appeared a hundred years ago, but later it was heard that their monarch had received an apocalypse after a sacrifice: the infidels were enemies. According to this revelation, the Yang Ming Kingdom constantly launched wars against the surrounding small countries, attacking cities and plundering land, forcing them to join, otherwise they would slaughter the city and the country. The newly joined citizens must also take part in wars of aggression against foreign countries. At present, there are twenty or thirty countries that have submitted to the country of Yangming, and the expansion rate is getting faster and faster.
"Yang Ming Sect, I remember that when Lizi sent us to the Kingdom of Dreams, it was an old man from the Yang Ming Sect who helped us escape." Lu Xiaofan once thought that the Yang Ming Sect was very good.
"Presumably the old man is related to Lizzie by blood. Among the small countries that Yang Mingguo subdued, there were many dissenters, but they did not dare to resist due to the pressure from the surrounding areas. Those who have the ability will secretly send their offspring out of the control of the sheep and the country. According to what you said, the old man was able to teleport by drawing a pattern on the ground with white chalk, and this old man was probably a priest of the Lingtu Kingdom in the past. Xiaoyaozi Dao Chang analyzed.
"Since you can draw a teleportation talisman array, why don't you run away with your family?"
"It's difficult, it's too much to run away with your family. An immortal in the country of Yang Ming apostasy punished the nine clans, and all of them were cut down and eradicated. Even the immortal beasts, mounts, and even the immortal flowers and fairy grass planted in the family are not spared, and they are extremely tyrannical. And for reporting apostasy, you will be rewarded. ”
"A reward for their little stuff?"
"Well, the whistleblower can take the apostate's family property for himself. At the same time, every time you report it, you can get a chance to avoid death. ”
"Chance to avoid death?"
"Fighting and killing, it is inevitable that you will not be able to complete the task. Yang Mingguo hates losers the most, and those who fail to complete the task will be tortured and killed by the immortals. ”
"It's brutal!"
"It must be eradicated!"
"No matter how unbearable the community is, there are individuals who can be saved. We are trying our best to save those immortals who still have a conscience, and destroy or seal the ferocious killing demons. Xiaoyaozi said long.
"May I ask the chief, what kind of country is the Lingtu country?"
"Lingtu Country was originally a small country near Yangming Country, with less than 10,000 immortals. The immortals in the kingdom all practice runes, and the patterns and runes they draw have a variety of functions, and the Lingtu priests have the most knowledge of rune patterns. ”
"If Lizi was the old man's relative, it would have been a blessing to be separated from the country of Yang Ming since childhood. It's a pity that she was sent to the wrong place, out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den. Lu Xiaofan said regretfully.
"Maybe it was sent on purpose." The former dynasty hated the Yin and Yang Mission.
"Therefore, we must solve the trouble of Yang Mingguo as soon as possible, and then eradicate the Yin and Yang Mission." Xiaoyaozi said: "Otherwise, in order to gain greater power, the immortals who have lost their minds or do not know the truth will either belong to the Yang Ming Kingdom, or send their descendants to the Yin and Yang Mission, and there will be endless troubles." ”
"So what are we going to do?" Lu Xiaofan and Xi Chao asked in unison.
Daoist Xiaoyaozi pointed to the map and said, "At present, the Taiji Holy Realm has several steps to deal with Yang Mingguo. First of all, we will set up a guard barrier on the edge of its current borders, and if it starts a war with the outside world, we will unite with the surrounding small countries to fight back with the barrier, and do our best to keep the scope of their jurisdiction in the current state. Second, within itself, persuade dissenting families to unite against its tyrannical rule. Thirdly, there are sentry posts all over its peripheral countries to monitor the movements of its neighboring countries, and if anyone wants to take the initiative to defect to Yangmingguo, we will immediately send people to persuade and stop it. Daoist Xiaoyaozi paused and said, "In addition, we still have some beheading operations against the leaders of the great traitors. ”
When Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty heard this, they thought silently for a while. Lu Xiaofan really wanted to participate in the decapitation operation mentioned by the Xiaoyaozi Daoist, but he also knew that with his current strength, he might not be able to do it.
"By the way, can the teleportation talisman array of the Lingtu Kingdom allow them to bypass the immortal barrier and directly invade the farther realm?" Xi Chao asked.
Xiaoyaozi Daoist smiled and said, "If this is the case, it will not be worthy of being an immortal barrier." Within our immortal barrier, the teleportation methods of all races of Yu Guangtian will fail. ”
"Taking the country of Yang Ming, the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Immortals will be greatly advanced." The former dynasty looked at the Yangming National Highway, which occupied a large area on the map.
"Not bad." Xiaoyaozi nodded.
"Fortunately, Yang Naruto has no allies in the distance." Lu Xiaofan said.
"There used to be, and we rebelled." Xiaoyaozi said a long way.
"How do you convince dissenting families to unite?" Lu Xiaofan felt that this was the hardest part.
"Okay, we have several plans at the moment......" Xiaoyaozi stroked his long beard and said roughly with a smile. These programs will be completed by special lobbyists in the Tai Chi Sacred Realm.
After talking about the plan, the task was assigned. Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty, as novices, can only serve as sentry posts on the periphery at present. Lu Xiaofan proposed that she wanted to participate in the beheading operation in the future, and the Taoist Commander Xiaoyaozi expressed her appreciation for her ambition and courage, but at present, Lu Xiaofan still needs to be experienced. However, if there is a suitable opportunity, you can also consider letting her follow the disciples on the mission to see it.
Subsequently, Lu Xiaofan was sent to the Yufeng Country, and the former dynasty was sent to the Kuji Country, these two small countries are neighbors of each other, and both are neutral countries. The Taoist of Xiaoyaozi gave the two immortals teleportation talismans, transmission notes and other communication and teleportation tools. He also told the two immortals that if they were curious about the situation in Yangming's country, they could also go and have a look, and remember not to conflict with them. Use the invisibility charm immediately in case of trouble.
The project of setting up immortal barriers is huge, and it has already begun, and most of the immortals in the Taiji Holy Realm are involved in it. Lu Xiaofan has also been in the Feather Wind Country for a long time.
The immortals of the Feather Wind Country all have a pair of large feather wings on their backs, which are either white, black, or variegated. The immortal with variegated wings has the lowest status, and the white wings are the most noble.
The people of the Feather Wind Country are not as xenophobic as the natives of the Yonaru Country, but they are not friendly either. Usually they only associate with their own people, turning a blind eye to the nostrils of the immortals of other races.
Foreigners who enter the Feather Wind Country are generally to make some trades, exchanging their own items for the Golden Feathers that are a specialty of the Feather Wind Country. This golden feather is dropped by the people of the Feather Wind tribe when they change their moults in two seasons every year. It is useless for the Feather Wind Clan to take it, but the immortals of other races wear one, which can greatly increase the flight speed, and it is really a must-have for home travel, fighting and running. Resell it to other places and make a lot of money. Due to the increasing market demand, the golden feathers on the Feather Wind people no longer appear only during the moulting season.
Lu Xiaofan pretends to be a national of the Northland Shuofeng Country, and sells a Northland specialty called Round Cabbage in the trading market of the Feather Wind Country. This round cabbage looks like a flat radish, which can be eaten as a vegetable and used as a medicine, and has a miraculous effect on healing wounds.
The Feather Wind people are aggressive, and often just because they look at you one more time in the fairy group, or start fighting when they talk and disagree. After the fight, there was a lot of chicken feathers on the ground, and the immortals from all walks of life rushed up to see if they could pick up a golden feather. At this time, a new round of brawls will be caused by a fight or other reasons. Yufeng domestic fights and brawls are a common scene, two or three small scales, dozens or hundreds of large ones, chickens and dogs jump in the scuffle, black smoke miasma, very spectacular.
On this day, the two Feather Wind Immortals opened up in the trading market, and the battle group quickly expanded to seven or eight immortals to participate. The hawkers picked up their goods and fled, ran to a certain distance and stopped, crouched on the high platform at the head of the wall and looked up. Lu Xiaofan saw that a vendor next to him was still holding a long cylinder in his hand, so he asked, "Are you a telescope?" ”
"yes."
"Watching the fight?"
"What's so nice about fighting, I just see if there are golden feathers on the ground."
"Can you lend me a look?"
"Borrow? Everyone is mixing here, and if you borrow it, you will see it! I have another one here, ten psionic crystals to sell to you. ”
“……”
Seeing that Lu Xiaofan didn't answer, the peddler left boredly after a while, and went to other immortals to sell binoculars.
Due to the large number of street brawlers, Lu Xiaofan's cabbage is particularly easy to sell, and the stall can often be closed before dark. The surrounding vendors saw that Lu Xiaofan had closed their stalls early, so they said to her, why don't you go to the surrounding city-states to shop.
Lu Xiaofan was reminded, and went to the Kuji Country next to him. As soon as I entered the border, I saw four wastelands, no fairy smoke, and occasionally I could only see an abandoned thatched hut.
Lu Xiaofan used a transmission note to connect with the former dynasty. The former dynasty asked Lu Xiaofan to wait for him on the border, so he didn't have to come in.
A cup of tea, the past flew over.
"How's it going? What is the situation in the country of Kuji? Lu Xiaofan was a little curious.
"Don't mention it, it's probably harder to do business here than in the Land of Dreams." In the past, he pretended to be a foot merchant in Nanju and sold some groceries.
"Why?" Lu Xiaofan thought to himself, don't they lack anything?
"The people here advocate penance, abandoning everything outside of their bodies, not even living in a house, and some of them don't even wear clothes." During this time in the past, in this country, let alone selling goods, no one even asked for anything to be given away for nothing.
"Huh? Can it still be like this? Lu Xiaofan said in surprise, fortunately he didn't go in, otherwise he would have seen a lot of embarrassing scenes.
"It's nothing, everyone is used to it, it's commonplace. There are also some immortals who specialize in looking for abuse, hunger strikes, living and sitting on large rocks, soaking in water for many years, and some injuring their bodies in various ways, and refusing treatment, so there are many old, weak, sick and disabled, and the streets are full of displaced and abandoned fairy children. "The former dynasty thought that this country was simply strange, and the goods carried were basically used to help these old, weak, sick and disabled.
"What are they doing here?"
"This is their way of cultivating, and I heard that they are cultivating selflessness."
Lu Xiaofan smiled dumbly and said, "Isn't it a manifestation that they put everything behind to concentrate on torturing themselves?" ”
"No, if they take life seriously, they may be able to forget themselves. In short, I don't think the country will go to any side. So I'm going to propose to the Xiaoyaozi Daoist to change places to carry out the mission. "The former dynasty said.
Lu Xiaofan nodded: "Indeed, according to their lifestyle, Yang Mingguo and the Yin and Yang Mission may not accept them." By the way, does this country have a monarch? ”
"I heard that the monarch has been in retreat for more than 200 years, and he has not yet left the retreat." Xi Chao said: "In my opinion, maybe I would have starved to death a long time ago." ”
"Possibly." Lu Xiaofan felt that the thoughts and behaviors of these immortals were too unreasonable. "By the way, do you want to go to Yang Ming Country to have a look?"
"Yes, but I've heard that it's dangerous there, and the people are xenophobic."
"Let's be careful, put on their clothes, we will do what they do, try to choose remote places to walk, anyway, if we are in trouble, we will immediately hide." Lu Xiaofan has always wanted to go to Yang Mingguo to explore the way, and in the future, he will get the opportunity to carry out the beheading operation.
Xi Chao thought about it for a while, looked up at the sky, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go at night today." ”
