At the banquet, Lord Xiling asked where Yu Yu Yu went, he had lived in Youyu Village for a while, and heard Yu Da Shell talk about him, this young man could succeed as the lord of Youyu City in the future. It's a pity that the ambition of the big shell of the fish was empty, and he escaped outside.

Yue Geng replied very vaguely, only saying that he didn't know that Yu and You might have gone elsewhere to find a master. Lord Yue Geng made a point of mentioning that Ruoshan had given him a rhino horn, and a few years ago he had met the master of Chiwang Hill and asked him to find some special products in the mountains, including the rhino horn, and now he had collected it.

Yue Geng said this without the intention of showing off, perhaps in order to resolve his embarrassment, several of the entourage of Lord Xiling at the table knew that the Youyu clan he supported had been uprooted, but the new city lord immediately sent valuable gifts, and even the masters of Chiwangqiu entrusted him with errands, of course, he also felt that his face was bright.

After the banquet, Xiling and the accompanying guests were arranged to rest, and the servants reported that there was a visit. The visitor's name is Xin Shu, a monk from the Four Realms from the capital of the Xiangmur Kingdom, and one of the retinues of Lord Xiling. If this Xin Shu had something, he didn't say anything at the banquet, but at this moment he came to ask for a meeting alone, which also made Yue Geng feel very strange.

However, a monk of the Four Realms, no matter where he was, was treated with courtesy and attention, and Lord Yuegeng, who was already feeling a little tired, still lit a lamp to meet him. When Xin Shu saw Yue Geng, he just made a simple salute, and then showed his palm and said: "City Lord, what my senior brother Tang Wen entrusted you with a few years ago, it's hard for you to keep it in mind, thank you for having a heart!"

Yue Geng was taken aback when he saw the token of Chiwangqiu, got up and saluted: "It turns out that Mr. Xin Shu is actually a master of Chiwangqiu, how could you follow Xiling into the wilderness?"

Xin Shu replied: "I am a teacher of the Chiwangqiu lineage. But I have lived in the capital of Xiangmu for a long time, and I don't want too many outsiders to know my identity, so as not to be disturbed too much, and I hope that the city lord of Yuegeng doesn't have to say much to others. Previously, Lord Xiling led the order of the monarch and sent an envoy to the wilderness to preside over the alliance, recruiting masters in the national capital to accompany me, and I happened to want to go out for a trip. So he went with Lord Xiling. ”

Yue Geng hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, sir, I will never tell others, and thank you for Mr. trust, and show me my identity alone." Do you have any instructions for visiting alone after dark?...... What Mr. Tang Wen asked me to look for a few years ago is now complete. I'm thinking about how to send someone to Chiwangqiu, is this what the gentleman is here for?"

Xin Shu said with a smile: "You can just hand over the things to me, in fact, what Senior Brother Tang Wen entrusted you with a few years ago is my explanation." It's not easy for the city lord to collect, I don't know how much these things are worth?"

Yue Geng waved his hand and said: "What is the value of talking, this is a little respect for Chiwangqiu and Lord Baisha." Besides, I don't have much to spend. It's all about saying hello and being sent by someone else. ...... Sir, sit down for a while, and I'll order them all to fetch you. ”

Xin Shu also waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, it's inconvenient for me to carry it this time, you can send someone else to the capital." Visiting at night is actually for another thing. Where is the young descendant of Fish Village, named Fish and Swim, now?"

This question has already been asked by Lord Xiling at the banquet. At this moment, Xin Shu asked again, what he wanted was definitely not the same answer. Yue Geng's expression was a little hesitant, but he finally replied: "In front of Mr., I don't dare to hide it, Yu and You are currently in Gaocheng." I have a very good impression of this young man, he has two realms and nine transformations at a young age, if he can continue to break through in the future. It must be a talent. I had the heart to cultivate and support, but unexpectedly, such a change occurred in the wilderness. Mr. Today specifically mentioned him, what do you want to do with it?"

Xin Shu still smiled: "Oh, it seems that the Lord of Yue Geng City should not want to return him to the wilderness as a slave. Don't worry, I have no ill intentions. Moreover, Chiwangqiu has always cherished the rare young talents in Bayuan, and if he meets them, he will also have the heart of cultivation. ”

Chiwangqiu has now become a sect of cultivation and inheritance in Weizhen Bayuan, although it is based on the white-fronted clan, but the search for successors is not limited to the white-fronted clan, if there are good seedlings worth cultivating in Bayuan, they will pay attention to recruiting subordinates. So when Xin Shu said this, Yue Geng was not too surprised, and he asked again: "Does Mr. want to bring the fish and swim back to Chiwangqiu? That is really a blessing that he never dreamed of!"

Xin Shu shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I don't want to send it to Chiwangqiu openly, but to ask the Yuegeng City Lord for a favor." You helped the fish and swim change their identities, and according to the original fish shell, you introduced him to the master and instructed him to cultivate in Ba Yuan. This person will be grateful to you, and he will do everything in the future, and if he succeeds in cultivation, he will also be of great use to you, Lord of the City. ”

Yue Geng suddenly understood what he meant by these words, Yu and You had two realms and nine transformations in their early twenties, no matter where they were, they were talents worthy of attention, and it was of course a pity to send them back to the wilderness as slaves. Yue Geng had the intention of accepting this person before, so he didn't tell the truth to Lord Xiling.

Xin Shu reminded him that he could have a better arrangement, and if Yu and You became a real master in the future, he would also be an important chess piece in Yue Geng's hands. If Gaocheng and Shanshui City are at odds, or if the situation in the wilderness changes, Fish and Lobbying may be more useful.

Lord Yue Geng immediately said that he would definitely do what Xin Shu instructed. Xin Shu told him again, don't reveal to others that he is the heir of Chiwangqiu, and more importantly, don't tell Yu Youyou that this matter is at his behest, everything is regarded as Lord Yuegeng's own arrangement.

Yue Geng was a little puzzled, and then he sighed that the master of Chiwangqiu acted very measurably. This is obviously a good thing, but Xin Shu let all the good people do it for him, but he didn't leave any traces. He promised never to leak the news to Yu and You, and Xin Shu took his leave and left. Yue Geng was also a little anxious, and immediately ordered someone to call Fish and Swim.

Yu and Yu Yu are in their early twenties, their skin looks a little pale, not like a savage in the deep mountains, but the calluses on their palms are still obvious, although they are not as rough as a few years ago, but there are still traces of fishing in nets in the fish village. When he was brought into the City Lord's Mansion by several samurai, his shoulders shrunk slightly, his back tensed, and his fists clenched and trembled, as if he was suppressing tension and anger.

The news that Lord Xiling brought back from the wilderness, he also heard it at dusk, and he felt that the world was spinning at that time. Yu Da Shell and all the elders of the clan died, and some of the people of Yu Village made the clan slaves, and now he is the only one left floating outside, and he doesn't know what kind of future he will face? Yu and You feel very angry, he wants to take revenge, but he also knows in his heart that he has no ability to do this, and then he is very afraid, afraid of being sent back to the wilderness as a slave, because this is a decision that Lord Xiling has announced on behalf of the monarch.

So he wanted to run away again, and he had already packed up his simple things, and planned to wait until the second half of the night, when everyone was asleep, and then leave quietly. Before he could make a move, he was taken to the City Lord's Mansion by the samurai sent by Lord Yuegeng, and he was very nervous all the way, and even wanted to defeat the samurai and flee, but he still held back after all, because he was not sure, and he didn't know what to do after escaping.

After entering the city lord's mansion, he came to a secret room lit with oil lamps, and the escorted warriors actually retreated, and the city lord of Yue Geng, who was only sitting in the room, was obviously not a signal to take him back to the wilderness. Yu and Yu Yu were also clever, and immediately bowed down to the ground and said, "Lord of the city, I have heard about what happened in my hometown. Over the years, you have taken care of and helped me and the fish clan, but unfortunately now the fish clan has been defeated and become a slave, and the adults have summoned me, how do you want to deal with it?"

Yue Geng looked at him, his expression was very profound, and he nodded slightly and said: "Although the Youyu clan was defeated today, the clan is still there, and there is always hope in the future." As for you, you are not in the mountains these days, and I know very well that you are not involved in what is happening there, so you should not be innocently punished. However, Lord Xiling has already announced an order on behalf of the monarch, and there are people in Yucun who have made their clan slaves, so the lord of this city has to think of a way for you and change your identity.

You have cultivated at a young age, and you are courteous and respectful, and I have always cherished and valued you, so I am willing to help you today. But now that you are not suitable to stay in Gaocheng any longer, I will send someone to send you away, and introduce you to guide you to continue your cultivation, and if you have achieved anything in the future, you must not live up to my expectations today. ”

When Yu and You heard this, they kowtowed again and again, their gratitude was indescribable, and they vowed to do their best to serve Lord Yuegeng in the future.

......

Bai Sha didn't want the Youyu clan to turn over, so why did Xin Shu, a monk from Chiwangqiu, secretly help Yu and Youyou? In fact, there is no conflict between the two, Youyu Village, as a tribal force that may avenge the Qingshui clan, of course he can't sit in the wilderness, but Bai Sha wants to find the successor chosen by Zhu Ming, and he is likely to come from Youyu Village.

Yu Liang used to be the object of suspicion, but there was no trace of such a big thing in the wilderness, he may really have an accident. And if Zhu Ming chooses a successor, he must choose a young and highly talented person, such as Fish and Swim. No one else has left the wilderness all these years, except for this one fish and swimming!

No matter from which point of view, Yu and You are most likely the heir chosen by Zhu Ming, and it is very likely that he got Zhu Ming's guidance to deliberately stay away from the wilderness and come to Bayuan to avoid danger. If this is the case, Chiwangqiu is not in a hurry to take down this person, but wants to keep an eye on it secretly and try to get as close as possible without arousing his vigilance.

When he truly achieves the essence and gets all the secrets inherited by Zhu Ming, he can get everything Bai Sha wanted back then through him.

Lord Xiling rested in Gaocheng for three days, and then led his retinue to continue on the road. On the first night of his arrival in Gaocheng, Xin Shu went to visit the lord of Yuegeng alone, and later Yuegeng ordered a young descendant to be brought into the lord's mansion. Do the Lord Xiling, who also lives in the city, know about these things?

Even if Xiling himself couldn't detect the movement, there were three other Four Realm masters beside him, and he could know something to some extent, and with the intelligence of Lord Xiling, I am afraid he could guess what was going on.

But Lord Xiling didn't say anything, let alone ask, and only thought to himself in his heart after leaving Gaocheng. The lord of Yue Geng City deliberately kept the fish and swimming, as if he had other plans, should he find a suitable opportunity to relay the news to Ruoshan? It is best to choose the next time Shanshui City sends an envoy to pay tribute to the monarch, so as not to be known by outsiders.

Lord Xiling gave Yue Geng a gift in the name of Ruoshan, of course, he wanted to ease the relationship between the two, but in his heart, he was still more optimistic and valued by Ruoshan. From a personal point of view, Xiling certainly has a grudge against Yue Geng, and in the conflict between the various tribes in the wilderness, if he hadn't made the right decision by observing the situation, I am afraid that he would not have been able to return this mission.

Although Yue Geng apologized to him and apologized, Xiling did not perceive that Yue Geng was really uneasy. Yue Geng may be a little afraid, but this fear has become indifferent with the smooth return of Xiling. In the past few days in Gaocheng, Xiling has not heard that Yue Geng has any plans to give Ruoshan a gift in return.

The City Lord of Yue Geng may not be able to ignore those barbarian tribes, but since he has dealt with the other party, he should not act so lightly. It must be known that the person who really encountered the great danger was not the king's envoy Xiling, Lu Village and Huahai Village almost had the disaster of extermination, although this is not Yue Geng's fault, but it is not unrelated.

Now that the overall situation of the wilderness has been decided, Ruoshan will be named the lord of Shanshui City, although Shanshui City is located in a remote area and has not yet been built, far from being comparable to Gaocheng. To enter and exit Bahara, you must pass through Takajo, but Wakayama is also the lord of the castle after all. In any case, Yue Geng should send someone to send back heavy congratulations and take this opportunity to apologize and make amends. Although there is no need to explain the original matter, Ruoshan can also be clear.

Xiling gave Yue Geng this opportunity, but Yue Geng didn't do that. Xiling asked about the whereabouts of Yu and You, but Yue Geng didn't tell the truth. In fact, even if he told the truth and wanted to keep Yu and You, would Xiling disagree? Xiling might only be able to call Yu and You to explain what was happening in the wilderness. And in the name of Wakayama, I can not only dissolve hatred as much as possible, but also make everyone be a good person.

Yue Geng has received the benefits of Youyu Village and all kinds of promises for the future, and of course he is emotionally inclined to Youyu Village, and now he is waiting for Ruoshan to give more benefits and promises!

Although Xiling was in Gaocheng, the lord of Yue Geng City entertained him very well, and when he said goodbye and left, the gifts that Yue Geng gave him and even his entourage were very valuable. And he accepted the gift, but he didn't feel happy, he just didn't reveal it.

The reason why Yue Geng gave a heavy gift was just that he was afraid that he would speak ill of the monarch in front of the monarch. You must know that Yue Geng was deceived by Youyu Village back then, and almost caused him big trouble on this mission. And the more Xiling covers up for Yue Geng, the less credit he has. Therefore, Xiling will accept it if it is polite, and it should accept Yue Geng's reparation. He will not speak ill of the king in front of the king, but he will not tell lies either.

Everyone has their own aspirations and ambitions, and Xiling's wish is to become the "Fuzheng" of the Prime Minister's Country. In turn, it can assist the monarch to calm the civil strife in Bayuan and restore the unified and stable country of Pakistan. In the country of Ba, there are soldiers, teachers, workers, cangs, sacrificial and other positions, and the sacrificial is generally concurrently held by the monarch himself, while the auxiliary is the head of the "right" and the chief of the hundred officials below the monarch.

Although Xiling has ambition and talent, he has never been able to hold the position of Zhuzheng, let alone assist him. Now there is an official position that is vacant, no one holds it and no one fights with him, but unfortunately he is not qualified to take office, that is, the person who presides over the school palace, also known as the school or deputy priest. The priesthood is usually held by the monarch himself, but it is only a symbolic performance on important festivals and other occasions, and ordinary affairs are in charge of the school.

The last person who presided over the school palace before the division of Pakistan was Lord Zhu Ming. Nowadays, although all the rituals and laws of the Xiangmuro country refer to the Pakistani country of the year, it has not been restored for a long time.

The Academy Palace is a place where talents are selected and cultivated in the country, and one of its most important tasks is to select young talents among the children of the major clans, and try to guide them through the initial realm to cultivate; In addition to that, they have to be taught all kinds of knowledge.

The person who presides over the Academy Palace must have passed the initial realm to cultivate, otherwise no matter how high the status or great merit is, he will not be able to sit in this position. Theoretically, the master of the palace is of course the higher the cultivation, the better, and it is best to be the person with the highest cultivation in the country, but in practice, it does not have to be so, because ordinary affairs can still be done by the deputies, and the deputy's cultivation can be higher. It's just that if Master Xuezheng himself doesn't know how to cultivate, then it can't be justified no matter what.

Xiling felt that he was still young, less than thirty years old, and there should still be hope for entering the initial realm. It's just that he came from a humble background, and he didn't have the opportunity to get guidance from masters in his early years, and later when he got older, the masters of various inheritances would not come to guide him.

This time to deal with the big fish shell, Lord Xiling stayed in the Central Valley for another three days. In fact, he didn't need to delay for so long, he spent more than two of his three days asking the Qingshan Patriarch for advice-how to enter the initial realm and cultivate? The Qingshan Patriarch was at least a master of the Five Realms, and it was usually difficult to meet, and he had achieved such an achievement in the wild mountains, in Xiling's opinion, it was not easy, he must have something extraordinary, and perhaps he had a different experience.

Qingshan is not difficult to deal with, his attitude is very gentle and humble, he told a lot of experiences to Lord Xiling, and taught him how to sit still and collect his spiritual energy, according to this method, it may be possible to break through the initial realm, but whether it can succeed depends on chance. Xiling said that if he can enter the initial realm in the future, he will definitely serve the patriarch of Qingshan as a teacher and treat him respectfully for life.

When Xiling said this, he was completely sincere, and there was no complicated judgment of the situation, nor did he weigh the interests of all parties. If he returns to the capital and follows the instructions of the Aoyama patriarch to "cultivate", one day he can really enter the initial realm, and he will be sure to persuade the monarch to re-establish the school palace, and he himself will have a good chance to become the master of the school palace, which is the first step to realizing his personal wishes.

Nowadays, the five countries of Pakistan are all claimed to have inherited the orthodoxy of Pakistan, but until now, they have not officially established a school palace. There is a reason that everyone knows but does not explicitly say, and that is the existence of Chiwangqiu. Ba Yuan has been in civil strife for many years, and Chiwangqiu is growing in power, and it often recruits young talents who have entered the initial realm in various countries.

In this case, if each country establishes a school palace, the relationship with Chiwangqiu may become more awkward or delicate. In addition, it was easy to abandon the school palace back then, but it was too difficult to set it up again, which was not like building a castle, which only required manpower and material resources, and required a lot of effort from really talented people, and it was necessary to gather the best talents in the country to work together.

However, Xiling believes that if Xiangmuro wants to pacify Bayuan, he must first start by restoring the Xue Palace, although there is a long way to go. As for the establishment of the school palace, it is also necessary to try to avoid offending Chiwangqiu, and you can also appoint a master of the Chiwangqiu line as a doctor in the palace, but you must try to maintain your sanity in terms of relationship, and the school palace belongs to the Xiangmuro country, not under the control of Chiwangqiu.

This is the lofty ideal in Xiling's heart, which belongs to him personally, to the Xiangmuro country, and even to the entire Bayuan. But the first step of a journey of a thousand miles is that he himself has to break through the initial realm. A small change in a wild place, almost no one knows about the vast Ba Yuan, but it secretly affects the fate of many people.

......

Baoyu is in a deep state of ignorance and desirelessness, unable to see or hear anything, and it is as if heaven and earth and her body do not exist. In such a state, the scene inexplicably appeared in front of me, and I realized that I was still awake. He was in the middle of a high mountain, surrounded by a shallow pool of pebbles, into which a stream fed from above.

Baoyu didn't know why he was here, it wasn't the result of his active thinking or fantasies. Then he felt the ground tremble slightly, and there was a thud from above, and a rampaging rhino beast rushed out—a scene he had ever experienced.

The galloping beast was so terrifying, but Baoyu didn't move. Out of nowhere, two egg-sized stones slammed into it, and the rhinoceros fell forward in a frenzy, flipped over and fell, half of its body splashing in the pool.

In the initial experience, Baoyu did not feel panicked, but he also felt danger and fear, but he just kept his composure and made the most reasonable and natural response. But such a scene still shocked him, so it was deeply imprinted in his mind, and now it reappeared in the fixed realm, allowing him to clearly recall and experience the impact of the shock on his mind.

After the rhino beast fell, the scene in the fixed realm inexplicably changed again. Baoyu returned to Lu Village and stood on the altar in the middle of the clearing. Although his eyes were closed, he could clearly see what was happening around him. Countless strange-looking Feather people were shot down, and the warriors' spears and bows and arrows were immediately fired. The clansmen rushed out of the house with various weapons and slaughtered the Yu people who fell to the ground.

At this time, the ground was full of bloody scenes, and some stumps and broken arms fell all over the ground, at this time, this kind of scene, a strong rush, impacted Baoyu's mind, and he couldn't help but recall the scene at that time.
