Volume 9 The stars are shining, and they are a universe of their own Section 10 If you are in a bad mood, you can go shopping

They seem to have nothing, but will the rulers feed them for nothing? They will definitely be sent to serve their lives, then the ruler will have to provide logistics, and if there is an injury, the ruler will also be responsible for treatment, and at worst, he will have to pay for the soup.

Once there is a good harvest, you can find ways to avoid the ears and eyes of the truth, so as to be greedy for no gain, and at worst, you can also make tacit "transactions" with outsiders. For example, when the Void Species is about to die, pretend to be defeated and retreat, leave the Void Species to another group of centaurs, and so on.

Of course, these dirty methods do exist, but not many of them will do it, unless the rulers are too harsh. Basically, those who are willing to become "governing the people" are thirsty for "strength", after all, cultivation is an extremely burdensome thing, and with a "master", the burden of cultivation will be transferred to the "master".

Therefore, Yuwen Dare and the others still hoped that Hu Shandiao would provide logistics for them to take the initiative, instead of following Hu Shandiao to do some chores, and their hope was quickly realized. After Hu Shandiao was no longer interested in fighting monsters, he gathered Yuwen Dare and others together, and then asked them what they needed, Yuwen Dare and others were immediately overjoyed and handed over the list that had been prepared long ago to Hu Shandiao.

Hu Shandiao glanced at it and didn't feel anything, but he definitely didn't have these equipment or equipment, but he had Xuantong and materials, and he refined them on the spot, which surprised Yuwen Dare and others. After all the equipment on the list was refined, Yuwen Dare also got a sum of money, which was used to buy equipment, vehicles, tents, cranes, excavators, etc., which are also very useful in places outside the law.

The special system of the Northern Xuanlu is a relatively strong protection for ordinary people, and ordinary people do not have authority and do not need to worry about their property being spied on. But for the bigwigs who have the right to dominate and rule, due to the fact that the authority cannot be inherited, once they die, everything they have fought for will be taken back by the sect, that is, the mortal sect, or taken by other authorities.

As a result, in order to continue, the authorities of the Northern Xuanlu will concentrate on cultivating or recruiting talents, thinking that they will be backed by their glory and wealth, and Yuwen Dare and the other sixteen people in Yuwen Pavilion seem to be not taken seriously, but they are also easy to leave. Yuwen dared to fight when they were young, and they knew that Beixuanlu had an unwritten rule, that is, those in authority could not cross the line.

What does it mean to cross the line?

The scope is relatively vague, but the recruitment of talents is clear, for example, if the talent is in Yanzhou, it will be recruited by the authority of Yanzhou, once the talent leaves Yanzhou, the authority of Yanzhou will lose the opportunity to recruit. If a talent has already joined a certain force, it will be labeled as that force, and unless the force voluntarily surrenders or perishes, foreign forces will not extend an olive branch.

When Hu Shandiao first arrived, he naturally didn't know those unwritten rules, and Yuwen dared and others to know and thought that Hu Shandiao knew, so under this misunderstanding, trouble came.

In terms of the number of cultivators, the Northern Xuanlu is more than ten times more than the Southern Xuanlu, mainly because the Northern Xuanlu has developed for hundreds of thousands of years, and in terms of cultivation opportunities, the Northern and Southern Xuanlu belong to everyone. Due to the development of the Northern Xuanlu for hundreds of thousands of years, the aspect of lighting the blazing sun is more comprehensive, coupled with factors such as cultivation techniques, nearly 40% of the people in the Northern Xuanlu are monks, but it is difficult to say how far they can cultivate.

In places outside the law, the hearing device is generally not turned off, not only because of the "Listening Star Monarch", but also because of the cooperation in combat, but this also means that it will be "positioned". Yuwen Dare and the others did not turn off the hearing device, so they were quickly locked by the people of the "Yuwen Pavilion", and then, the surrounded Yuwen Dare contacted Hu Shandiao.

Hu Shandiao was pondering "Xuantong universe, only Xuantong is eternal, so it is no wonder that the ascended who survives in the state of life can live for hundreds of thousands of years", and the vibration of the hearing device interrupted his daily routine, "Oh, there is such an unwritten rule? After learning that there was such a rule in recruiting talents, Hu Shandiao was not too surprised, he asked Yuwen Dare, what did Yuwen Ge want to do?

Yuwen dared to say that the representatives of Yuwen Pavilion wanted to meet and talk.

For Hu Shandiao, if he can beep blindly, he will never do it, and he is naturally happy to talk to the people of Yuwen Pavilion.

In fact, it is the agent of Yuwen Pavilion in Great Kyushu, and the base camp of Yuwen Pavilion is in the Suzaku Continent, and the influence in Great Kyushu cannot be said to be none, but it is not too big, after all, the right to dominate and the right to rule have their own territory. Hu Shandiao, a guy who has the right to rule and has no territory to run around, is an excellent partner to work with, and the existence of Yuwen Dare and the Sixteenth is a good point of intervention.

Hu Shandiao was not interested in this kind of struggle for power when he heard about it, not that he didn't love power, unless it was from the lawless environment of the times when the Ascended Man was in power, he would not be so obsessed with power. Just look at Southern Xuanlu, although Xuanzong is hidden behind the scenes, in fact, he is also holding on to power, Northern Xuanlu has even delegated the right to rule, and these people in Fanzong really don't love power, only have a major trend.

The emperors of Xuanzong in Southern Xuanlu all came from the Qin and Han dynasties, which was the era of centralization, and Xuantong cultivation required to enter the WTO and travel, and they were naturally deeply affected. The Fan Sect came from the ancient era that was not recorded by the Earth Celestial Empire, that is, whether there was a human race or not was to be verified, and the Fan Sect was also focused on cultivation and locked in the journey of transcending the Xuantong universe.

Yuwenge's agent didn't say anything cruel when he couldn't get along, but not long after this person led the team away, Hu Shandiao and the others were attacked. Hu Shandiao is a little puzzled, if the cooperation fails, it will start, what is the reason? Yuwen Kang explained that a weak ruler is a great wealth, and as long as he is imprisoned, it is equivalent to having the right to rule.

Hu Shandiao was even more surprised, is it a decoration to listen to the ears and eyes?

Yuwen Dare didn't know why his boss sometimes knew everything, and sometimes he didn't know anything, he didn't go into it, he only said four words - a place outside the law. A place outside the law is a place that is not subject to the punishment of ordinary laws, and even the appeal of the imprisoned ruler will not be accepted.

Hu Shandiao thought about it, Fan Zong's eyes have always been the entire Xuantong universe, and Fan Zong's decentralization of ruling power is to cultivate powerful subordinates, so that they can be pulled out and used when needed. In this way, those who cannot keep their authority are also useless people, and the sect naturally does not need such subordinates.

The attacks became frequent, Hu Shandiao was a little crying and laughing, he didn't expect that one day he would fall into the attack because of his authority, and this is also the practice of Beixuanlu, especially people like Hu Shandiao who have the right to rule one side but have no foundation, which is equivalent to a crime.

Song County is located at the front of the southern capital of Kyushu, and Hu Shandiao and other 17 people arrived at the frontier checkpoint in a bit of embarrassment, and entered smoothly after being tested. People walking on the streets on horseback are not new, but these horses must be mysterious beasts, mysterious beasts do not defecate in the open, of course, in order to maintain the appearance of the city, the mysterious beasts also have to be cleaned before entering the downtown area.

Although the lifeline point has been refined, it is "external" after all, and it will have an effect when it accumulates to a certain extent, so it takes time to digest. To put it bluntly, the lifeline point is experience, devouring other people's lifeline points will be regarded as devouring memory, if you don't digest and melt, it will not affect your own brain, but will affect your own lifeline.

The spiritual blazing sun is the absorption and digestion of life qi; The soul half moon is memory, spirit, vision, smell, etc., simply put, "head". The skeleton balance is the skeleton, the Yuanlihai is the cell, the lifeline is the blood, the meridians, and the lifeblood is the internal organs such as the five internal organs.

The two numbers of fate and fate are human potential, talent, etc., which cannot be seen or touched, but they are real.

If the lifeline is injured, it will affect the blood, meridians, and consume Yuan Li, and it can be treated with medicine, but it depends on the degree.

Yuwen dared to wait for sixteen people to follow Hu Shandiao for a period of time, the experience points accumulated too much and did not digest it, coupled with the continuous attacks in the back, if they didn't close the pass, the sixteen subordinates would hang up, and Hu Shandiao had to take them back to rest. This is no longer a newcomer, Hu Shandiao is still a little uncomfortable, he bought a house when he arrived in Nanxuanlu.

Xuanlu people estimate that it is difficult to understand Hu Shandiao's habit of buying a house wherever he goes, Xuanlu is vast and sparsely populated, only some areas of land are valuable, most of the land is worthless, and if there is Xuantong, building a house is a one-stop thing, basically build today, you can live tomorrow.

There are a lot of hotels in Beixuanlu, and the specifications are also high-end and atmospheric, and the price is not expensive. Hu Shandiao chose the Santong standard hotel in Song County, that is, the hotel where those with the ruling authority of the three parties and below can stay, and the people will not be refused, but it is impossible to give a room, so they can only follow the ruler.

There is also a special "retreat room" in the hotel, Hu Shandiao asked for sixteen rooms in one go, and Yuwen Dare and others entered the retreat room directly without even putting down the salute. Although Hu Shandiao uses the "lotus leaf kiln" to refine the foreign lifeline, it is not completely pure, but his own lifeline is very strong, and it is fused after "devouring".

The eight lives are a cyclical relationship, the life soul stores data information, and the lifeline is related to the reserves of the life soul, and also affects the rest of the life.

Hu Shandiao, who was distracted every day, sensed that someone was approaching outside the door, and this person was the hotel manager who received him and his party, and the hotel manager came to ask Hu Shandiao if he was attending the "cocktail party". Cocktail parties are held every day at the hotel, and the format is determined according to the number of participants, and such receptions are all about expanding the network and participating in the rulers.

Hu Shandiao was curious, there are only one million rulers in tens of billions of people, if this hotel holds a drinking party, how many rulers can attend? The manager smiled embarrassedly, and he also confessed, saying that the hotel has been established for a hundred years, and the rulers who really stayed in the hotel plus Hu Shandiao did not exceed ten people, and the people who stayed in this hotel were actually the dominators.

In other words, Hu Shandiao is actually the tenth ruler to stay in this hotel in the past hundred years, which is naturally preferential treatment by the hotel, not to mention the cost, the hotel is willing to post upside down. Hu Shandiao agreed to participate in the drinking party after thinking about it, he was inexplicably hunted down and killed in a place outside the law, but he was not angry, but he was a little unhappy, so it was time to use his ruling power.

Song County is very large, with a population of tens of millions, and a large number of rulers, but looking at this hotel for a hundred years, only ten rulers have stayed in, and you can know that there are no rulers in Song County. The rulers are generally in the royal capital, and then spread their tentacles throughout the five capitals of Kyushu, and Song County is the frontier area of the southern royal capital of Kyushu, and the rulers do not look down on it.

The royal capital, the inner ring, the outer ring, the border ring, and the frontier, the rulers generally only extend their influence to the outer ring, and the border ring and the frontier are not without value, but they are not worth the rulers to manage. Therefore, the huge area of the side ring and the front line is the gladiatorial arena of the rulers, if Hu Shandiao nods, the rulers of Song County will inevitably bow their heads and bow to the lord.

The hearing device vibrate, and when it was connected, it was an emotionless voice, "Hu Shandiao, the ruler of one side, have you decided to make Song County your ruling place?" Hu Shandiao was a little puzzled, what made the Commander Xingjun have the misunderstanding that he wanted to take root in Song County? He ran all over the location because he was attacked, and his subordinates needed to retreat before they entered Song County.

His next area of activity is in the direction of the eastern royal capital of Kyushu instead of the western royal capital, even if he wants to improve his strength, he still has to walk along Li Yindan's growth trajectory. Therefore, Hu Shandiao replied "no", and the ruler Xingjun asked again, "Hu Shandiao, the ruler of one side, did you choose Chu County as your ruling place?" ”

Hu Shandiao was even more confused, he had put all the laws into the soul moon, even if he didn't remember it, he would connect his perception when he asked and answered, and he would be able to get the information in the soul moon when he encountered relevant information. And the fact that Soul Moon did not provide information means that the Reigning Star Monarch's question at this time is not within the Mortal Law, so why does the Reigning Star Monarch still ask?

"Do you have to choose a place to rule?" Hu Shandiao asked.

Xingjun is a special existence formed by the fusion of the ascended people of the Mortal Sect devouring other lifeforms, Xingjun has his own wisdom, with the help of Xuantong intelligence to form a powerful Xuantong chain, the chain point can lay the entire Northern Xuanlu, once it encounters the invasion of the dark species, Xingjun can deal with it independently.

Therefore, although Xingjun's tone is cold and emotionless, it is not a mechanical thing, "not a necessity but a need", the Dominating Xingjun's tone did not change his answer. Subsequently, a piece of information was loaded into Hu Shandiao's listening device, and Hu Shandiao also knew why the Ruling Star Monarch wanted him to set the ruling land.

The exact number of rulers is 1.154.781, Hu Shan Diao can be said to be the first ruler produced in the Northern Xuanlu in a hundred years, in other words, except for Hu Shan Diao, the rest of the rulers are at least people over 100 years old. The lifespan of a cultivator is linked to the value of Yuan Li, and the Nine Heavenly Priests can live for thousands of years, and the Ascended can live for tens of millions of years.

Therefore, the ruling area is actually not as rich as Hu Shandiao thought, and most areas such as the border ring and the frontier have also been entrenched by the rulers. Hu Shandiao didn't know if it was luck or some mysterious influence, the Chu County and Song County he went to were precisely areas without rulers.

The reason why the Ruler of the Star Monarch suddenly appeared to ask was because in 2020 in the 75th year of the Xuan Calendar, it was time for the Northern Xuanlu to expand outward, and according to the custom, the rulers who had not determined the territory they ruled would be asked if they were involved in the expansion. If Hu Shandiao is sure that his ruling place is Song County or Chu County, then there is no need to participate, and if he is not sure, he will not be compulsory, even if he is a ruler, he will get rid of being dominated and ruled.

When the Ruler of the Star Monarch said "expansion", the laws of Hu Shandiao stored in the soul moon had relevant information transmitted to the brain, simply put, it was to designate an area and conquer it, naturally not to conquer that area, but to let all the dark species remember that area was inviolable, in fact, it was to conquer the dark species and fear them to produce "instinctive fear".

"Expansion" is an opportunity for rulers to move up the hierarchy of power, but rulers who own their dominion cannot participate unless they give up their dominion, which will inevitably be taken by other rulers. It's just that before the frontier dominions become the inner ring area, the frontier rulers have a lot of opportunities to increase their ruling level.

Nowadays, the rulers of the five and six directions in the royal capital and the inner ring basically raise the level of ruling power in the "year of expansion". Of course, there are not a few rulers who die in the year of expansion, after all, to fight the dark species into "instinctive fear", it is not ten or eight, not a hundred and thousand, but a steady stream of wars that last for years or even decades.

Hu Shandiao did not refuse but said that he considered it, and the Emperor Xingjun also disconnected the contact, first shielded the surrounding detection, whether it was listening to the ears and eyes or what, Hu Shandiao took out a pen and paper and began to sort out the information, after the information was briefly sorted out, Hu Shandiao speculated, rehearsed, and learned about other mysteries, in order to judge whether the "expansion" would help him.

Once a frontier city is built, the Void Species will form a situation similar to that of monsters attacking the city, but this situation is not formed by the Void Species themselves, they have no intelligence and only instinct. In contrast, "Xiaoyudao", which is also a dark species, has evolved intelligence, which has a lot to do with the environment in which Hu Shandiao and Xiaoyudao grew up.

If Hu Shandiao decides to participate in the expansion, Fanzong will immediately build a city attack and defense system, that is, build the chain points of the Star Monarchs in the city area.

After the construction of the city is completed, the Mortal Sect will move a large number of ordinary people and monks into it, and after the complete move-in, the Mortal Sect will activate a certain "signal" that is particularly sensitive to the dark creatures. This signal is a serious "existential threat" for the Void Dark Species, which only have instincts, and the Dark Species will come to attack the city in droves.

Darkspecies have no connection with each other, but if the number of deaths exceeds a certain level, the Darkspecies will develop an "instinctive fear" when they get close. Threats are just threats, the Void Dark Species will frantically sweep away the threat, and when the threat cannot be swept away, it is fear, and Fan Zong has studied the Void Dark Species very thoroughly for hundreds of thousands of years.
