Chapter 227: Mission
I have to say that being a guest secretary in Fallen Leaf City is still a very leisurely thing, especially when a guest secretary who has nothing to do. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although there are many things in Fallen Leaf City, most of the things are done by the doormen, what patrols, maintaining law and order, etc., these are all doormen's affairs, at most send one or two first-class guests to take the lead.
And the main task of the second-class guest is to escort and rescue, after all, although the human race occupies the plain, but the demon clan will still harass from time to time, there is enough defense and protection in the Fallen Leaf City, very safe, but as soon as you get out of the city, you will fall into danger, after all, the Fallen Leaf City is the city of the human race, not an isolated island, and the surrounding cities have traffic, and the other cities are not close to the Fallen Leaf City, the nearest is also four or five thousand miles away, a large number of material transportation, personnel come and go, all need the protection of the cultivator, generally speaking, such a thing, it is enough for the second-class guest to come out, because the really powerful demon clan will not easily come to the plain, just like Jindan real people will not easily enter the mountain.
Everyone maintains a relative balance between each other, and the people below kill and kill, and it doesn't matter how many Gang Shatian and Linggen Tian die, but once they lose a Jindan real person, whether it is a human race or a demon race, it will hurt their vitality.
Compared with the first- and second-class guest secretaries, Wang Tong is much more leisurely, and only major tasks will be used, although the Fallen Leaf City is a medium-sized city, but it is impossible to have major tasks every day, so for more than a month, Wang Tong did not receive the task, wandering leisurely in the Fallen Leaf City, except for Li Mingsheng and other acquaintances eating wine and drinking tea, the rest of the time is to stay in his own small courtyard to practice, and there is no abnormal performance.
Wang Tong also knew that he had just arrived, although he had saved the daughter of the head of the family, but the Li family could not really rest assured of himself, there must be secret surveillance, for more than a month, in the first few days, he could clearly feel that someone was secretly watching him, and after the tenth day, this feeling of watching weakened, yes, it weakened, not disappeared.
In other words, the Li family's vigilance against himself has gradually become smaller, but it is not unguarded, but he has no interest in the Li family, and he only doesn't know about this kind of secret vigilance.
On this day, Wang Tong had tea in the morning and was about to take a stroll in the city, but when he saw Li Mingsheng coming in a hurry, with a anxious look, Wang Tong smiled in his heart and said secretly, "It's here." β
"Brother Li is in a hurry, his face is shocked, I don't know what is troubled?!"
Li Mingsheng walked up to him, and Wang Tong couldn't help but laugh.
"I've heard you're pretty idle, but the good days are over. β
"The good days are over?" Wang Tong showed a look of surprise on his face, and even laughed, "Is there a mission?" β
"That's right, the Liu family of Juye City discovered a spirit jade mine at the same time as us, and now there is an endless debate, and it needs to be decided through a competition. β
"How could you think of me?" Wang Tong showed a strange look.
Competitions often occur in Dingzhou, in fact, it is similar to the five peaks of Xiaohan Mountain, a group of cultivators compete one-on-one, and finally decide the ranking and the strongest.
But the significance of this competition is very different in Dingzhou.
Although it is said that Dingzhou is the world of the demon clan, and the human race has to unite because of the pressure of the demon clan, and it is impossible to conduct large-scale infighting, but with such a large area, so many people, and so many families, it is impossible to have friction and conflicts of interest between each other.
The urine nature of the human race is like that, for a copper boy can beat out the brains of a human head dog, not to mention all kinds of resources for cultivating the truth?
Where there are people, there are interests, where there are interests, there are rivers and lakes, where there are rivers and lakes, there is friction, and where there is friction, there is fighting.
Not to mention these Xiuzhen families, there is a conflict of interest between the two major sects and the Lone Goose Royal Family.
It's just that in order to preserve the strength of the human race in Dingzhou, the strength can't be consumed because of internal strife, so Dingzhou will practice martial arts competitions, and the biggest battles and disasters will be clear.
Okay, there's a conflict of interest, right, the relationship of interests is uneven, right, it's okay, everyone is a cultivator, and they speak with their strength.
However, we still have to fight with the demon clan, and we can't fight on a large scale, so let's fight a few who can fight each other, face to face, in front of everyone, with a clear knife and a gun, whoever wins, will get benefits.
It is precisely because of this system that the internal friction of the Dingzhou Terran has been avoided to the greatest extent, for more than 10,000 years, the competition has almost become the most important means of resolving disputes within the Dingzhou Terran, and it is also the only means, not without a secret shot, but the secret hand is basically used before the competition to win the handsome, once the result of the contest comes out, then the interests of the winner have been endorsed by the royal family and the two major sects, which cannot be violated, otherwise it is the enemy of the entire Dingzhou Xiuzhen world.
There is also a reason why the various Xiuzhen families are aggressively recruiting loose cultivators.
After more than 10,000 years of development, Dingzhou's competition has also played tricks, divided into many levels, divided according to the size of interests, some small interests, inconspicuous interests, basically do not need to use the family to come forward,
Just send a few Linggen Heavenly Disciples, these interests are basically not related to the family's affairs, and the real interests of the family are divided into three levels, namely the battle of Gangsha, the battle of the real person and the battle of the true monarch.
The battle of the true monarch rarely appears, one is because there are only a few large families with the true monarch of the Yuan Ying Tian, on the other hand, the interests of the Yuan Ying Zhenjun can not be the turn of those big families, they must all be divided between the royal family and the two major sects, therefore, since the settlement of the human race in Dingzhou, there have only been three battles of the true monarch, and they all happened within the royal family and the two sects, and the battle of the real people is also very few, Jindan real people are the pillars of various small and medium-sized families, and there is no room for loss, unless it involves the major interests of the family, it is impossible for the real person to fight, even if it is a battle, it is impossible to really fight for life and death, and will keep their hole cards, point to the end, see good and take it.
Only the battle of Gangsha was the most tragic and at the same time the most frequent.
And the battle of Gangsha is divided into three levels according to the size of the interests, which are Xuanguang, Refining Gang, and Condensation.
Of course, this level is not as strict as the two levels above, the battle of the true monarch can only be participated in by the true monarch, and the battle of the real person can only be participated in by the real person, and the three levels of the battle of the gang are not too restrictive on the cultivation of the participants.
It's just that according to the size of the different interests, the maximum cultivation of the cultivators who appear is stipulated.
For example, in this battle over the spirit jade mine, the Li family in Fallen Leaf City and the Liu family in Juye City both said that they had discovered the spirit jade mine first, and the two sides talked for half a month, but they didn't talk about it, so they started fighting.
The court had its own supervision envoy present, first judging the value of the spirit jade mine, and then deciding that the highest cultivation of those who participated in this battle was the Gang Sha Six Heavens, that is, those in the Xuanguang Realm could not play.
There are three players from each side, three games, and two wins in three games.
The rules that are clear at a glance can be described in two words in Wang Tong's eyes: simple and rough.
Yes, simple, crude, but it works.
"Why did you find me?!" Wang Tong said with some puzzlement, "I'm just successful in refining, but I'm just cultivating in the Fourth Heaven, and there are so many third-class guests in the Li family, why can't I take my turn?!"
"Why can't it be your turn?!" Li Mingsheng smiled bitterly, "You think everyone is like you, as soon as you come, you will become a third-class guest, although there are records outside the city, but there are many people who disobey you, if you can't show enough strength in front of them, I'm afraid the head of the family is also very embarrassed, right?!"
The head of the house?
Wang Tong knew in his heart that his cultivation was only the Fourth Heaven of Gangsha, and when he first entered the Gang Refining Realm, according to the rules, he should be a second-class guest, not a third-class guest, and now he is a third-class guest, which naturally caused some people's dissatisfaction.
The second-class guest should have the most, after all, most of them are not inferior to their own cultivation, so they are naturally unwilling to succumb to a cultivator whose cultivation is lower than his own, of course, there may be other more complicated reasons, Wang Tong does not want to ask more.
"For the sake of me, a third-class guest, it's not worth it to risk losing a spirit jade mine, right?!"
"Originally, I thought the same thing, but then the young lady also recommended you, and the head of the family made up his mind. β
"Miss?!" Wang Tong's heart moved, Miss naturally referred to Miss Li who was saved on the plain outside the city that day, but this young lady had always been veiled at that time, even if she was saved by herself, she just said thank you, and there was no news after returning to Fallen Leaf City, I didn't expect her to recommend herself this time.
"Although Miss's cultivation is not high, but her eyesight is outstanding, the **** is mighty and has killed so many demon clans, Miss sees it in her eyes and remembers it in her heart, and she naturally has enough confidence in you. Li Mingsheng smiled, and then his expression was solemn again, and he said to Wang Daodao, "But you don't want to have other thoughts just because Miss helped you speak, this is impossible, Miss has already ......!"
"Okay, okay, you think I'm you, so anxious, how can I have such a mind?!" Wang Tong shook his hand and stopped him from continuing, "Although I also have confidence in my own strength, the matter of the Spirit Jade Mine is not trivial, and it is impossible for the Liu family to send some cats and wolves out, and those who can participate in the competition must be guys with sufficient strength, do you have any information about them?!"
"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated, not bad!" Li Mingsheng smiled and said, "There must be information, but it's not on me, go to the City Lord's Mansion and accept the task, you will naturally get information." β
..................
............
City Lord's Mansion, Mingde Palace
Wang Tong didn't see the city lord Li Wanmao, he saw Li Furong, the elder of the Li family.
Don't look at Li Furong's name is cheesy, but it is famous in the Li family.
It is said that when this elder of the Li family was born, his qualifications were very poor, and he had almost no potential for cultivation, so his father gave him such a name, hoping that he could be a mortal and cherish his life.
Later developments also verified his speculation, Li Furong's qualifications were indeed unattainable, and at the age of twenty, his cultivation was still in the fourth heaven of the law, which was even more wasteful than Wang Tong's predecessor.
Just when everyone thought that he was destined to be a mortal in this life, at the age of thirty-two, he actually bumped into the immortal fate, got the heaven and earth spiritual object that was easy to cut the marrow, and changed the waste qualification to a good cultivation qualification in one fell swoop, and then cultivated to rapid progress, in just fifty years, he refined Xuanguang, and was only one step away from being able to step into Jindantian, becoming the most promising elder of the Li family in the past hundred years, it is precisely because of this cultivation that he is also a high authority in the Li family, and in the past thirty years, he has been holding the power of the Li family's task release, and is deeply trusted by the head of the family, Li Wanmaoγ
"You are Wang Tong?!" glanced at Wang Tong, a smile appeared on Li Wanmao's face, "Wen girl mentioned you." β
"Don't dare to be!"
"Young man, I know humility, but it's not good to lose my sharpness, this time it's you recommended by Wen Yatou, you have to do it yourself. β
"The subordinates will do their best, and they will not disappoint the elders. Wang Tong pursed his lips, what does this old guy mean, just one sentence, he mentioned what "Wen girl" twice, as if he had a personal relationship with that young lady, is this ****** cheating me?
Wang Tong was in a very unhappy mood, and he became more and more unhappy with this old guy.
"It's good that you know, this is the information of the three guest secretaries of the Liu family, and they are not easy to deal with. β
"The subordinates understand. Wang Tong took the jade talisman from the old guy with an expressionless face, and raised his eyebrows, the jade talisman turned into powder, and a brief message appeared in his sea of knowledge, which was the information of the three guest secretaries of the Liu family who were going to fight.
"All of them are guys from the Sixth Heaven of Gangsha, it seems that the Liu family really attaches great importance to it, it seems that in addition to me, the other two of the Li family are also the Sixth Heaven of Gangsha, it seems that my cultivation is the lowest, this old guy is still optimistic about me, there can't be some conspiracy, right?!"
This Elder Li Furong did not leave a very good impression on Wang Tong, the most important thing is that he mentioned the young lady of the Li family in front of him twice in a row, you know, although the world of this cultivator, the things before men and women are much more open than the Ming and Qing dynasties in the history of Wang Tong's previous life, but the difference between men and women is also the most basic moral standard, especially Li Qingwen, a young lady of the Xiuzhen family who has not yet married, is still very fond of her reputation, and she will not pull herself with another strange cultivator, although Wang Tong saved her once, but the two sides have only met once, and it is impossible to have too many entanglements, but the Li Furong in front of him seems to want to have an entanglement with the young lady, constantly emphasizing the three words "Wen girl", if there is no other intention, it would be hell.
