Volume 1 Mirror Lake Volume Chapter 188 Nine Ridges Independence
Adding a map from scratch to Terran territory is definitely more than just winning the war. If that's the case, then why is there more than that?
After the Emperor conquered Mirror Lake, he obtained the support of the Mirror Lake Water Demon, and instead of the Human Emperor, the Emperor ordered the Mirror Lake Water Demon to be the creature of Mirror Lake, and gave the Mirror Lake Water Demon the right to walk freely among the human race, which was recognized by the Water Demon.
In this process, the Water Moon Sect paid a lot, and a sect began to decline from that time. Backed by the spiritual veins of Jiuzhi Mountain, the Water Moon Sect could originally become a major sect.
The only problem is Black Dragon Pond.
There are not no living beings in the Black Dragon Pond, and only half of the people who support the Black Dragon Pond to become the territory of Mirror Lake, so Mirror Lake can only nominally exercise the ruling power over the Black Dragon Tai, but it cannot actually become the territory of Mirror Lake. It wasn't until the birth of the White Lotus that the Emperor of Man personally imprinted the White Lotus with the imprint of heaven and earth, and the Black Dragon Pond completely became the land of Mirror Lake.
The divine right of the monarch is not about the right given by the gods to the lord of the county. This god is speaking of the will of all beings.
In the eyes of many monks, the way in which this right was obtained was too complicated, but it was the safest way to ensure long-term peace and stability. In order to strengthen the notice to Jinghu, the emperor ordered the other counties to liberate a group of slaves and untouchables, and also drove a group of displaced people to Yunzhou, which had just ended the war. When they were given freedom, they were asked to agree to turn Jinghu into the ninth county of Yunzhou.
That's how Mirror Lake was truly established.
For the demon clan, the territory is down. In addition to their own strength, there is no other arm that can help the demon clan protect the territory, so among the demon clan, the powerful demon clan's territory gradually increases, while the weak demon clan faces displacement all day long. And the Terrans, as long as they are within the territory of the Terrans, no matter how weak they are, there will always be a place to live.
Conversely, the territorial deprivation within the territory of the human race is also bound by the will of all beings.
Why is the strength of the lord of a county not the highest in this county, no one dares to provoke him, because the lord of a county has the power of a county and can fight with the power of the entire county. With the blessing of many business thoughts, the so-called realm barriers almost do not exist.
This is the reason why the Terrans are so strong.
The individual Terrans are not as good as the Demon Race and the Spirit Race, but the Terrans can gather their strength together, and this power is called the power of the Society. Even the Avatar Monk did not have the slightest confidence in front of Gong Chongming, and Gong Chongming was only the Mirror Lake City Lord with the weakest Sheji strength.
But the castle lord's use of the power of the community is not without restrictions. The strength of the social power that the castle lord can use depends on how much support the castle lord can get from the living beings of the county when he exercises the social power.
When Gong Chongming wanted to suppress the Water Moon Sect, the others didn't say it first, and said that the Mirror Lake Water Demon would definitely agree under the guidance of Shui Changtian, although it was not very strong, but it was enough.
The social power generated by the independence of Jiuzhi Mountain has far surpassed the total social power of other forces in Jinghu, and perhaps, most of the living beings in Jinghu are unwilling to continue to become the power of Jinghu Mountain. So Jiuzhi Mountain became independent, and since then there is one less piece on the map.
For Gong Chongming, when he received the golden seal given by the Emperor of People, his cultivation, life, and other attributes were already connected with the Mirror Lake as a whole. When Jiuzhi Mountain was peeled off, Gong Chongming was already seriously injured. No one is unhurt when a piece of themselves is gouged out, even if that piece is called a tonsil called an appendix!
"It's okay if Jiuzhi Mountain is not there. Anyway, when you exercise the power of the community, you can't borrow the power of Jiuzhi Mountain. Shui Changtian sighed, "On the contrary, the Dragon Whale Clan has moved to the east of Mirror Lake for the sake of the White Lotus's spiritual vein, and with the existence of the Time and Space Supermarket for a period of time, the power you can use should be far greater than before." ”
"My strength has increased, but it's still not as good as Jiuzhi Mountain. The independence of the county is a confrontation of social forces for the county. I feel that the social power I can use is increasing, but I still can't stop the stripping of Kuzhi Mountain. Gong Chongming sighed slightly, because his body was injured internally, and he was constantly taking medicine, and the damage in his body was replenished little by little.
When Shui Changtian heard this, he wanted to laugh: "Although Jiuzhi Mountain is a sect in Jinghu, the power inside is from the community to the eight counties of Yunzhou
Measure. What do you want?"
"If the Time and Space Supermarket is in Mirror Lake, only in Mirror Lake, as long as ten years, I am confident that I can fight against eight counties with the power of one county in Mirror Lake. ”
That's a!
"Who do you think the shopkeeper has a deeper affection for Kou Ling'er or Hua Mulan?" Shui Changtian suddenly remembered a strange thing.
"It's definitely Hana-senpai. Gong Chongming hesitated for a moment, and finally said. It has nothing to do with Su Jing's relationship or personal strength. But Mulan does have a good relationship with Su Jing. Gong Chongming has cut off seven emotions and six desires, but he knows more about people's feelings than Shui Changtian. The so-called longest love is nothing more than long-term companionship, and Mulan is the person who has been with her for a long time.
Especially Su Jing is not a person from this world, so the importance of being able to be by Su Jing's side all the time is self-evident.
"Su Jing walked very strangely. Before we came, Ao and we made it very clear. Whether it is a monk who transforms into a god or a monk who condenses a baby, it is all the same in Su Jing's eyes. Maybe except for the people around him, Su Jing looks at everything the same, some are similar to the Great Dao, and he sees everything as a dog. Su Jing was very reluctant to leave this time, and the reason for this was that Kou Ling'er pleaded for mercy, and Su Jing helped those gods survive the god tribulation. Su Jing will definitely have to pay some price for this that we don't know about. ”
Gong Chongming nodded and looked at Shui Changtian: "And then?"
"If Mulan is in danger, what do you think Su Jing will think?"
Gong Shigeming's eyes narrowed. People who can cultivate to the point of condensing babies are not fools. Although Shui Changtian has hundreds of years of time, in terms of experience, it is actually almost the same as Gong Chongming, who is less than a hundred years old. When Shui Changtian said this, Gong Chongming immediately understood what Shui Changtian wanted to express.
"After seeing the people of Jiuzhi Mountain, maybe there was really something wrong with Hua Mulan leaving, but there was also a reason that Su Jing was not there, and Hua Mulan had no safety guarantee in Jinghu and had to leave. ”
"Kuzhi Mountain is not such a simple place. On the bright side, Jiuzhi Mountain is only a few late stages of condensation, you and I have the capital to fight against it, plus the White Lotus, we don't have to be afraid of Jiuzhi Mountain. But Jiuzhi Mountain dared to fight Mulan's idea, which showed that Mulan was already qualified to let some old guys from the Yunzhou Izumo Yun family come forward. ”
Because Shui Changtian has lived long enough, he knows a lot of things better than Gong Chongming. When Jiuzhi Mountain was first established, there were two avatars in less than a year. These are things that Gong Chongming has never seen.
"Let's talk about it. If they deal with Mirror Lake, they will not be able to come out, unless the Yun family seeks their own death. Designing Mulan, too, is not necessary. We don't have this strength, even if I can use the power of Sheji, I will lose at most with Mulan, and now the power of Sheji has been sealed by the Emperor. And Mulan and Su Jing have a good relationship, Su Jing's thoughts are not something we can speculate. I'd rather fight to the death with Jiuzhi Mountain than provoke Su Jing, even if Su Jing doesn't provide cultivation commodities. ”
"I'm just suggesting that. "Shui Changtian is a demon beast after all, and what he advocates in his heart is the supremacy of interests, and the violent temperament in his personality still exists.
"Let's talk about it!"
Gong Chongming does not directly deny it, if the space-time supermarket does not appear, a Mulan design will be designed.
A golden rune golden bird came from the sky and slowly landed in the sky above the City Lord's Mansion.
"Someone sent a message. Gong Chongming beckoned, and the golden rune bird flew to Gong Chongming's side, spread out his hand, Gong Chongming looked at it, and then looked at Shui Changtian and smiled.
"Jiuzhi Mountain has just become independent from Jinghu, and it has launched a request for foreign exchange to me, is this a correct position?"
Generally speaking, people like city lords can enter other counties directly by saying in advance that they can enter the space. The more formal one is this kind of golden rune transmission.
For strangers, the use of this kind of messaging means respect. After all, the city lord has the power of the community, and if he does not prepare in advance, it will cause a conflict of the power of the community. But for those who are familiar, using such formal means, that means alienation.
What's more, Jiuzhi Mountain is not a state and county, and it doesn't even have a golden seal to use the power of Sheji, so this golden rune message is to take a stand
"Accurate!"
The golden talisman cracked, and soon after, the Nine Ridges descended on the City Lord's Mansion.
"Why does the Lord of Jiuzhi Mountain use such formal etiquette?" Gong Chongming looked at Jiuzhizi and said slowly.
Jiu Zhizi laughed lightly: "I have heard that the people of Jinghu are fierce for a long time, and this is also to prevent some accidents. ”
"With your strength, how can the folk customs of Mirror Lake be fierce to you. ”
"I'm afraid that I will hurt the creatures of Jinghu by making a move. Although your strength is not good, you are the master of a county after all, and some face will still be given to you. ”
Gong Chongming also smiled, and then spoke: "Tell me, what is the matter with you coming to me?"
"The Mirror Lake Sect is a big competition, and we in Jiuzhi Mountain will also participate. ”
"You Jiuzhi Mountain is not the power of Mirror Lake, I'm afraid it's inconvenient!" Gong Chongming already understood when he heard this. Jiuzhishan wants to participate in this sect competition.
For the revival of Mirror Lake, the reward for the first place is a 10,000-year-old phoenix blood spirit flower. There are not many elixirs between heaven and earth that can enhance the soul, and the phoenix blood spirit flower is one of them, especially this is still a 10,000-year-old phoenix blood spirit flower, which not only has a strong tonic effect on the soul, but also has a high chance of mutating the spirit root into a phoenix spirit root.
If there is no accident, the Mirror Lake Sect will be the leader of Jiuzhi Mountain, and other sects will be the foil. This phoenix blood spirit flower is from Jiuzhi Mountain. Gong Chongming promised to Shi Hu because Gong Chongming could make concessions to Jiuzhi Mountain in exchange for the Phoenix Blood Spirit Flower. But now Gong Chongming doesn't think so. Maybe his concessions were not enough! For the sake of the Phoenix Blood Spirit Flower, a leader of a force that had broken away from Mirror Lake came to visit him in person.
"The purpose of this sect competition is to select outstanding cultivators from Jinghu, and everything given by the Human Emperor will be used on these people. Since Jiuzhi Mountain is not the sect of Mirror Lake, I can't think of any reason for you to participate in this sect competition. Gong Chongming shook his head.
Do you like independence? Do you still want to be independent?
"What price do we have to pay to participate in Jiuzhi Mountain?" asked in a deep voice with his eyebrows lowered.
"When you become the sect of Mirror Lake, come and say this to me again. Gong Chongming waved his hand, "You just separated from Mirror Lake just now, and now you are coming to talk to me about this?
"Although there is no emperor directing the nine peaks of Jiuzhi Mountain, it is agreed internally that each mountain represents a county in Yunzhou. If you agree, Lord Miyagi, I can give up the Vulture Peak belonging to Mirror Lake to Mirror Lake. ”
"It's not rare!" Gong Chongming shook his head, and then sneered: "Since Jinghu is one of the eight counties of Yunzhou, then, if my Jinghu people have the conditions to enter Jiuzhi Mountain, then they can naturally enter, even if you are the mountain master, it is impossible to obstruct it, right? ”
"Okay, I want the Phoenix Blood Spirit Flower. You open the conditions!"
"The Phoenix Blood Spirit Flower is not mine, and I can't open the conditions. When the phoenix blood spirit flower has a master, you can talk to the owner of the phoenix blood spirit flower. Others, it's useless to talk about more. ”
"You have to think clearly, this is my private request. ”
"Although the Yun family is powerful, it doesn't seem to be able to do anything to me, right? Can you incite the Qin family to abolish Shang Shaoyang's position as the city lord, can you still incite me to abolish the people of Jinghu? You can ask the eight counties to ask the heavens to hear and cut off the Jiuzhi Mountain from the Mirror Lake, why don't you continue to ask the heavens to listen and let the emperor make an order, let me count the Jiuzhi Mountain in it? I don't have the confidence of the Jiuzhi Mountain, and I dare not resist the will of the human emperor!"
The last sentence pointed out Gong Shigeming's biggest dissatisfaction.
When the emperor decreed that Jinghu and other counties should abide by the same annual tax collection method, Jiuzhi Mountain was resisting the decree. Originally, there was nothing to resist or not to resist, after all, as long as people give spirit stones. However, there are many spirit stones in Jiuzhi Mountain, but they are only willing to take out a little to pay the annual tax, which makes Gong Chongming dissatisfied.
Kuchiko nodded and finally left.
"Don't come in the future, we don't have a personal relationship, you come to see me directly, the identity is not equal, if you have something, let Qin Haoyang from land and water come to talk to me." ”
The implication is that the mountain lord of Jiuzhi Mountain is not qualified enough, and only Qin Haoyang, who is also the city lord, can talk to him.
