Chapter 119: The embarrassment of the Shui family
ps: Change the addition word later, upload it first, it's too late, hehe
Just after Yuan Shan refused the middle-aged monk to leave, a young man with a heavy face walked out from behind the middle-aged monk, and the young man's cultivation was five layers of cultivation qi, above the middle-aged monk. But for the middle-aged monk, he did not mean to look down on him, but respected him very much.
"Second uncle, will you just let her go? What if I am recruited by the Hai family? Our family has been subservient to the Hai family for all these years, and if the Hai family still takes the lead this time, I am afraid that we will have to give up one-third of our family's harvest. ”
Listening to the young man's words, the middle-aged man's face also became extremely ugly, and he looked at the direction where Yuan Shan was going, his eyes were a little hesitant. Seeing this, the young man frowned, and suddenly his eyes flashed: "With the situation of our family, I am afraid that we will not be able to recruit other Taoist friends, this female cultivator has never seen it, and she doesn't know the local language, so she must not be a local monk, why not ......?"
"No." Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man refused without thinking about it, "Why not?" Since it has never appeared on our Silver Green Island, it is very likely that it is just a casual cultivation. ”
"Don't you know, although that female cultivator only has a sixth-level Qi cultivation when she goes up, I feel an obvious depression when I stand in front of her, and this feeling has only appeared in your grandfather." As he spoke, he glanced at the young man, and sure enough, he saw that his face had changed greatly, and he didn't feel that the corners of his mouth were hooked.
Sure enough, it was a young man, "Well, isn't that...... Second uncle, what do you mean that the female cultivator still hides her strength, could it be that she is still a monk at the top level of Qi cultivation? ”
Because of the abundant marine resources in the land of Dongsha, the cultivation is higher than that of the general barren land, but Yincui Island is just a small border island, and it is difficult to see a monk in the foundation building period, and the only foundation building monk on the island is the steward sent by the Dongsha Pavilion to collect tribute taxes.
Therefore, it occurred to me that the female cultivator might be a monk at the top level of Qi cultivation. The youth couldn't help but change color.
But soon, his expression became natural, and there was a hint of heat, "Wouldn't that be better?" If you and I sincerely invited, that fairy would not refuse, and the second uncle still had the kindness to guide her and transmit words. ”
Thinking that the female cultivator turned out to be a monk at the top level of Qi cultivation, the young monk was originally just called "female cultivator". And now I feel that I have changed to a "fairy".
In the world of cultivating immortals, female cultivators generally like to be called fairies by others. The male cultivators, on the other hand, do not care about these minor problems in terms of title, and occasionally some stingy monks are annoyed and angry when they are called by someone to give them a nickname in appearance or other aspects, and then it is not uncommon for them to retaliate and kill.
Therefore. A simple title, in fact, it is still very particular in the world of cultivating immortals, whether it is a male cultivator or a female cultivator, it is just between the same generations. Mostly called Taoist friends. The more polite ones call themselves juniors. It's just that if you want others to call themselves juniors, you must take strength as the premise.
If you don't have the strength. Even if it is called by someone for its flaws in appearance, it can only be recognized.
After listening to the young man's words, the middle-aged man pondered for a while, because he knew the foreign identity of the female cultivator, and if he dared to catch up, he would be thought to have bad intentions. Besides, he has already refused first.
But thinking of the interests of the family, the middle-aged man had to reconsider this issue, but I am afraid that it will take some thought to recruit this female cultivator.
The middle-aged man beckoned to the young man. The young man immediately chimed in, and after a few whispers. The young man immediately understood, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Second uncle, rest assured, my nephew will live up to his mission." The young man withdrew excitedly, and the middle-aged man looked at his expression with a worried expression on his face.
Back then, this Yincui Island was in charge of their Shui family and the Hai family, and the two families were of equal strength and had been safe and sound, but in a hurricane disaster hundreds of years ago, most of the monks of the Shui family died, but the monks of the Hai family survived with a treasure, and the loss was not much.
At least compared to the Shui family, there are only a few people, so there is nothing to worry about. As a result, the distance between the two families began to widen. It's just that the Shui family is not a vegetarian, and their entrenchment in Yincui Island for many years is also recognized by the Dongsha Haige, the ruling force in the land of Dongsha.
Although the strength is not as good as before, except for the Hai family, no one can shake it in Yincui Island. Therefore, while knowing that their strength was depleted, the Shui family ceded a considerable part of the benefits, making the Hai family agree to continue to stay on Yincui Island.
However, as they continued to swallow the benefits of the mouth, the Hai family's appetite began to grow larger and larger, and they were gradually no longer satisfied with only getting a part of the benefits from the Shui family. And began to continue to encroach on the water family. The Shui family naturally couldn't sit still, so the two families followed the rules stipulated by the Dongsha Sea Pavilion.
Determine interests by strength. Originally, there was naturally no dispute when the strength of the two families was equal, but now the strength of the Shui family has been greatly reduced, and Dongsha Haige is a behemoth, but a sub-division was set up on Yincui Island, and a steward was sent to garrison it, and the local family's tribute tax was collected every month.
How do you know that the steward is helping the Hai family to speak this time, if you can't defeat the Hai family in this meeting, you must cede all the current one-third of the harvest of the Shui family.
The Shui family naturally knew that the steward had received the benefits of the Hai family, but the other party was a person from Dongsha Haige, although it was just a small person, it was not something that a small Shui family could afford to provoke.
Because the Shui family suffered huge losses in that hurricane, one-third of the harvest was a huge amount of money in the Shui family, and if this income was not devoured by the Hai family, it would be enough for the Shui family to cultivate three monks in the late stage of Qi cultivation. Therefore, for this meeting, the Shui family naturally cares about it.
After all, if Huiwu loses, it is equivalent to losing one-third of the harvest, and losing three monks in the late stage of Qi cultivation, and from then on, it will be even more difficult for the Shui family to compare with the Hai family.
The rules of the martial arts can rely on the family power to win over the scattered cultivators for their own use, and the Dongsha Haige is the witness of the martial arts and appears as a referee. With the appearance of Dongsha Haige, such a meeting is still fair in a sense. It's just that the Shui family is now far below the Hai family in terms of financial resources and manpower, so they are naturally worried.
That middle-aged man is not an outstanding one in the second generation of the Shui family, it can be seen from his cultivation of the third layer of Qi training, but just the third layer of Qi cultivation can make the family send him out to recruit scattered cultivation, which shows that the Shui family is now in decline.
In fact, the other monks of the Shui family are not without them, but those who have slightly higher cultivation are cultivating day and night in the family. Trying to improve his cultivation in order to win more opportunities for the Shui family in the martial arts. And the middle-aged people don't have much room for improvement in terms of qualifications or age, so they were sent out by the family.
In fact, this kind of martial arts is not uncommon on every island, as long as it is the power of Dongsha Haige. In fact, Dongsha Haige also did this to tap loose cultivation talents for Dongsha Haige, if there is a family to win over a powerful loose cultivation, in the martial arts to show good, it will be noticed by Dongsha Haige, so generally as long as it is some family forces to win over the loose cultivation. As long as you know this rule, you will not refuse.
Generally as long as the power is strong enough. To be able to get its attention, who wants to be a helpless casual cultivator? Of course, there are natural exceptions for people like Yuan Shan who have a mobile treasure trove.
The land of Dongsha is divided into the open sea and the inland sea, and it is not close to the coast or the inland sea. Far from the coast is the open sea, in fact, the entire Dongsha land is composed of countless islands in the vast ocean.
The inland sea is mostly an island where some people gather, and it is controlled by the Dongsha Sea Pavilion, the largest force in the Dongsha land, and has a protective formation. The more crowds gather. The more advanced the protective formation.
Silvergreen Island is just a remote trail in the middle of the inland sea, and it is also very close to the open sea. Naturally, the protective array is not very good, but even then it is much safer than in the open sea.
On the other hand, the open sea is mostly deserted and uninhabited, and these islands are either deserted and uninhabited. Or it hasn't been discovered yet, and it was once the world of demon beasts, so there is no protective array.
Therefore, even if it is discovered. If it is suitable for human habitation, if there are no big forces willing to set up a protective formation on the island. It was also an uninhabitable island, because neither the tide of sea beasts nor the natural storms at sea made it impossible for people to survive on the island.
But the desert island is a treasure trove for treasure hunters. It's just that some mysterious forces in the natural world still make some daring cultivators shy away from desert islands.
The monks in the land of Dongsha all know that there are three famous disasters in the land of Dongsha, the first is the beast tide, because the special geographical location of the land of Dongsha is actually countless scattered islands surrounded by the vast ocean, and the war between humans and sea beasts has never stopped when the first human monks arrived.
Whether it was a tide of beasts or humans teaming up to hunt sea beasts, the relationship between sea beasts and human monks was once endless. Later, after the reconciliation between the human mighty monk and the sea beast mighty monk, a treaty was signed. Although there are occasional outbreaks of small-scale beast tides, and humans occasionally go out to hunt sea beasts, they are finally safe.
The second is sea fog, if the sea fog appears, there will be time and space turbulence, and people don't know where to take it, so sea fog is also one of the most mysterious disasters in Dongsha.
The third is hurricanes and the like, it is said that there is a space gap in the sea, which will erupt every once in a while, so it touches the ocean hurricane, and the protective formations of some small and even medium islands are sometimes difficult to resist this hurricane.
Of course, there are other disasters, but the main ones are these three, which can be said to be the things that everyone talks about in Dongsha.
At this time, Yuan Shan has already walked through Yincui Island, Yincui Island is not big, with the foot strength of Yuan Shan's immortal cultivators, he quickly walked again, after appreciating the special customs and customs here, Yuan Shan found a restaurant and sat down, and as soon as he sat down, someone immediately sent tea and sumptuous food.
These eating esophagus are extremely exquisite, whether it is soup or meat, Yuan Shan found that they seem to be filled with a faint water spiritual power, it is said that this is the famous demon beast inn on Yincui Island, and the ingredients used in eating here are not ordinary things, but made of demon beasts and spirit grass.
Therefore, not only can it fill the stomach, but it is also a good product for immortal cultivators to improve their cultivation. It's no wonder that as soon as Yuan Shan came in, he found that the entire inn was full of immortal cultivators, and even the little second person who passed the vegetables was shrouded in a faint spiritual power, and he turned out to be a monk at the second level of Qi training.
This discovery made Yuan Shan slightly surprised, but it was just a surprise, maybe this was an inn opened by a big force.
But what surprised Yuan Shan was not only this, but that she didn't order food at all, and who helped her order food? (To be continued) R655
