Seventy-eight, full of fat
Huangmao Mountain, Chatiao Ridge, Peng Yu looked at the person with a surprised face, and then laughed and stepped forward and punched Hu Chen in the chest.
"Good boy, yes, you, I haven't seen you for a few months, not to mention the flesh, now it's all famous all over the world, I don't seem to tell you where I am, how did you find me?" asked Peng Yu while leading the way.
Hu Chen followed Peng Yu, and the more he went, the more confused he became,
"Brother Peng, where are you taking me? As for what is difficult to find you, all the Qinglian Sword Sect who participated in the Jiazi Dabi at the beginning have made records, and it is not easy to find you, but this Yellow Spear Mountain is really difficult to find, I also asked several people to know about such a place, and fortunately you are not far from me, if you are a little farther, it is estimated that the master will not agree to me to go out." ”
Peng Yu said with a smile: "Our faction is not famous, and Huangmao Mountain is not a famous mountain and river, if you can find it here, it will be difficult for you." ”
"I knew that you kid was extraordinary, I thought you would hold two rounds at most, and I waited for you in Aoki Town for several days, but I didn't see you, I thought you were afraid that you forgot or were delayed by something. Later, I went back to the mountain gate and read the Di newspaper to know that your kid actually won the first place in the big competition, so I thought about saving a meal, but I didn't think that you would come to the door, why have you been hungry for wine recently, and you have to share your life with me?"
"Hahaha, Brother Peng, don't say that, I feel like I'm looking for revenge, but I haven't answered where this is taking me, is this going in the direction of your sect, why are you getting more and more away from the mountain?"
Because of Yi Sanqian's matter, Hu Chen's mood was depressed for a long time, several senior brothers were either in retreat, or they didn't see anyone, and senior sister Lin Qingyue didn't know where he went. Although there were many disciples in the entire Qinglian Sword Sect, Hu Chen couldn't find a few people who could talk, and suddenly remembered the agreement between Jiazi Dabi and Peng Yu, so he resigned to his master Li Twelve.
Recently, Daqing is not very peaceful, Li Twelve does not want Hu Chen to travel far away, since Huangmao Mountain is not far away, Hu Chen is depressed and unhappy, on the occasion of the spring flowers, when Hu Chen went to relax, he agreed.
Peng Yu turned his head to look at Hu Chen, and when he saw his puzzled expression, he suddenly realized and explained: "You may not know that now the sect needs to go to the government to register, and the cultivation realm and the disciple roster are all within the scope of registration. ”
"As for what we are going to now, it is the stationing point of my division in Guanzhou City, where many sects have set up points, compared to the deserted on the mountain, there are still more ways to drink in the city. ”
Walking into Guanzhou City, as Peng Yu said, qi practitioners and martial artists can be seen everywhere, ordinary people set up stalls, and those who should shout are still shouting, and they turn a blind eye to these people in the rivers and lakes with swords and swords, which makes Hu Chen very surprised.
He also saw that there was a Qi practitioner in the Jiedan Realm who had a conflict with a vendor walking the streets and alleys for some reason, and the dark-faced man was not afraid, and argued with reason, and the number of onlookers gradually increased, and the Qi practitioner was not very angry, probably because he was disgusted with being watched, pushed away the crowd, and left quickly.
Hu Chen couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Peng, what's going on? Cultivators don't look for seclusion and meditate, even if they still compete with passers-by, passers-by are not afraid of cultivators at all? Could it be that the way of the world has changed?"
Peng Yu laughed and said, "At first glance, you are the kind who stays in the mountains for a long time and doesn't go out, but now it's different." Since His Majesty the Emperor implemented the Shadow Sealing Order, as long as it is a sect, no matter how big or small, it must go to the official government to register, and your Qinglian Sword Sect may be busy with Jiazi Dabi, and then you will also go to register, which is supported by the Xue Palace. ”
Hu Chen then asked: "Cultivators have always been used to being free and casual, and they suddenly have to be controlled, which will cause a lot of opposition, so that if they are concentrated, the entry of the Jianghu sect and the mountain cultivator immortal family into the world should have a great impact on ordinary people, how to solve the contradictions? Who proposed this kind of measure, it is really perverse!"
"Although the imperial court has set up a military department responsible for sect registration and dispute resolution, no one takes it seriously, and if any problems really occur, each sect will solve them on their own, so the military department is also a decoration. ”
"Besides, if you really want to make trouble with the military department, it will outweigh the losses, as long as each sect has been registered, it will get a large amount of spiritual essence every year depending on the size of the sect, but if there is a matter that requires the military department to intervene in mediation, some spiritual essences will be deducted according to the situation, which is why the sects are willing to do their own thing. ”
"The military department also specially sent Kanyu officials to explore the mountains and rivers, and some sects that do not have a suitable sect station can occupy these spiritual places to practice in the form of leasing after registering with the military department, and only need to pay a fee every year according to the size of the territory, which is very popular with many Jianghu sects and the last practice sects. ”
After saying so much in one breath, Peng Yu couldn't help but feel a little thirsty.
After hearing this, Hu Chen thought thoughtfully, Emperor Daqing is in the next big move, not to mention the annual fees that need to be paid to these sects, just by renting the territory to those sects that are worried about the place to practice, the emperor has attracted enough people's hearts, people's hearts are available, and the general trend is expected, he is going to put shackles on the cultivators he uses unconsciously.
Hu Chen continued to ask, "What about cultivators from other countries? Will they agree? And cultivators of demons and ghosts, how to define them?"
Peng Xuan cleared his throat and said with a smile: "I don't know about the rest, it is said that Xunguo likes this model very much and is vigorously promoting it, but unfortunately it seems that there is a lot of resistance, and it is not as smooth as the implementation of Daqing." ”
"The cultivators of the demons and ghosts you said, the territory of Daqing is almost negligible, and they all need to be registered, I think as long as they don't be demons, they should be like normal people, I don't know how to do it, if you really want to understand this, not far from this Pipa Street is the Qing Mansion Yamen, it is now classified under the name of the Ministry of Martial Arts, there is a detailed explanation on the public notice board, you can go and see. ”
Hu Chen was stunned, what was the purpose of the emperor's implementation of the Shadow Sealing Order, I believe that what he could see and think, many cultivators could already think of it, why the Shadow Sealing Order was still implemented all over the country? Is it just because of the admiration of the Xue Palace? Hu Chen couldn't understand it, but then he was relieved, these things were not something he had to worry about, and the sect masters and elders of the major sects had a headache.
In fact, Hu Chen didn't hate this kind of shadow sealing order, on the contrary, it could put shackles on the cultivators who were like wild horses, which was a good thing, he just felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought, as for what it was, he couldn't figure it out for a while.
The strong not only have to make rules, but also follow them, and if anyone is above the rules, then the rules are not fair. Of course, Hu Chen understands this truth, he is just thinking about what will happen in the future if he continues to develop like this, no one can predict.
Peng Yu found a restaurant with a quiet environment, leaned against the window, pointed to a street below and said with a smile: "This is Youbi Street, also known as Shenxian Street, just because there are no less than 100 large and small sects on this street. ”
Hu Chen smiled and nodded, there were few pedestrians on the street, and there were no hawkers for sale, and the long street seemed a little deserted.
Peng Yu called Xiao Er over, looked at the menu in his hand, the muscles on his face couldn't help shaking, and he secretly complained in his heart.
He thought that Jiazi Dabi and Hu Chen would just say it so casually, and he still understood the truth of multiple friends and multiple roads, and Hu Chen was willing to give him a chance, and he was also a friend worth making.
After returning to the master, Peng Yu's situation is not bad, at the beginning, he patted his chest to correct the name of the sect in the Jiazi competition, but he didn't think that he was beaten out in the first round, although the master didn't say anything, but the cynicism between the brothers was also enough to respond.
Later, somehow, the sects on Immortal Street all knew about this, as long as Peng Yu appeared, some people would say some cool things, such as losing to Hu Chen, but also losing to the Son of Destiny, and carrying more punches is earning and so on, so Peng Yu stayed in Huangmao Mountain most of the time.
Hu Chen's appearance really surprised and delighted Peng Yu, but he didn't expect a similar joke at the beginning, Hu Chen actually remembered and came all the way to him, which made him a little flattered.
Peng Yu knows very well what Jiazi Dabi represents, what kind of existence the Qinglian Sword Sect is, Hu Chen is still willing to recognize him as a friend, he should say something, so he brought Hu Chen to the best restaurant in Guanzhou City, of course, he doesn't even look at this kind of place, without it, there is no money!
After flipping through the menu in his hand several times, Peng Yu found that none of them were cheap, took a sip of the tea on the table, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the tea above the menu that also cost money, and couldn't help but feel that the tea in his mouth was a little hot.
Hu Chen took in Peng Yu's movements, but he didn't take the initiative to say anything, it seemed that his Peng brother's wallet was a little tight, Hu Chen remembered the square yuan coins that were piled up in his ring, and smiled slightly.
Seeing Hu Chen smiling, Peng Yu wailed in his heart, but he still ordered a lot of dishes in one breath, and even ordered three pots of Huangzhi wine, which was brewed with the famous Xianjia wine in the restaurant.
Boundless seaside, return to the cliff, the fierce tide hits the cliff year after year, tirelessly.
An old man in shorts and shirtless stood on the edge of the cliff, letting the salty and wet sea breeze blow the old man's beard and hair, standing still, looking at the disciple Jiang Chao who stood proudly on the tide head from afar, the old man beckoned gently.
Seeing the old man beckoning, Jiang Chao was like a petrel jumping gently from the tide, but when it landed, it was like a boulder landing on the ground, making a loud "bang" sound.
"Master, do you have something to do with me?" Jiang Chao bowed.
"The world will change, we should also make some preparations, there are few people left in my line, Daqing and his party, you have done a good job, you also have a junior sister who is in Xunguo, it is time for her to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, find her, and bring her to see me." ”
"Who is she?" When did he still have a junior sister? Jiang Chao wondered.
"Tu Shu. ”
Jiang Chao led the order to leave, the old man stood up, stretched out his hand and gently pushed, and the surging tide that was about to hit the Guixing Cliff was forced to retreat, colliding with the tide that followed, and in the 'boom' sound, there was a splash in the sky.
