Volume 19 Penglai Chapter 68 The War Book of the Unnamed Old Man
Wu Xie stood on the main peak of Cuiyun Island, looking at the busy scene of the port from afar.
Cuiyun Island is located at the starting point of the route from the Penglai Inland Sea to the open sea, and from here, it takes a stormy journey to reach the outer sea of Penglai; And the ships from the open sea, after this almost desperate journey, finally have a place to rest.
The one who set out had his head pinned to the waistband of his trousers; The person who arrived snatched his life back from Lord Yama.
So both the departing and the arriving people need something exciting enough to entertain or something to relax physically and mentally – they deserve it.
Although Cuiyun Island is not large in area and has no particularly valuable output, it is equivalent to holding a mountain of gold and will never be able to eat and wear it only by relying on the service industry.
But as the so-called money breeds a breeding ground for evil, the various service industries on Cuiyun Island have always been filthy in the past, and there are many dark corners - according to an incomplete statistics, in the two casinos on the island alone, in the past 100 years, at least 20 ship owners have lost their life savings here, and after a night of crazy gambling, they find that they have nothing, and they are burdened with terrible debts, and finally jump into the sea in despair.
After Wu Xie entered Cuiyun Island, he began to rectify these service industries on the island. He gathered the owners of the various shops and ordered them in an unquestioning tone: the gold cave on Cuiyun Island is a place for people to relax, not to add pressure to people. He can ignore the past, but from today onwards, if he knows that someone in the Dao has done something to ruin the reputation of Cuiyun Island, he will make this person regret that he didn't commit suicide sooner.
The proprietors looked at each other, not understanding why the island owner issued such an order that was very different from the spirit of consumption in the entertainment industry, but Wu Xie did not listen to their explanations or pleads, and left after speaking.
Those who opened their mouths to explain or plead, almost every one of them was wrapped in the breath of sin, and he really looked uncomfortable. If it weren't for the fact that he hated "punishing without teaching", he would have beheaded them all on the spot with a knife
But those guys didn't end well after all, among them, Yang Fengyin was found out, and then Wu Xie lit the red lotus sky lantern in public; There was a plan to collude with outsiders to betray Cuiyun Island, and Wang Yuanzhen killed the relevant people; There was a panic that escaped, and Wu Xie secretly sent Qingchi Shuangsha to chisel through the sea boat, and fell into the sea to feed the fish...... All but one who truly repented was purged one after another, without exception.
This process took almost ten years. More than ten years ago, the atmosphere of Cuiyun Island was getting better and better, and the captains who came and went here finally really felt the atmosphere of "at home".
According to the statistics of the Port Terminal Dispatch Division, there are more and more ships entering and leaving the port. Many merchants have turned to this route - for the simple reason that they are born and died to make money, and Cuiyun Island is the only place among them that allows them to sleep peacefully after returning from making money, without worrying about being cheated and cheated.
It is true that this rectification has made the income of the entire Cuiyun Island drop a lot compared to before. But even if it declines, the daily income is still not a problem. Wu Xie is not a person who loves luxury, and the material consumption of immortal cultivators is not very much. The Cuiyun Island in front of him was enough for him.
"What we want to do is to revitalize the economy of this one shipping route – of course, if I can, I would like to extend this practice to other shipping routes, and revitalize the entire trade between the inner and outer seas." Only in this way can prosperity and development be promoted. At the meeting of the real people of the Pujia Sect, Wu Xie explained, "What kind of responsibility should we, the immortal cultivators, bear for Penglai? I think that we are not only the guardians of Penglai, but also should guide the entire Penglai to continue to develop, continue to prosper and prosper. ”
"Plundering and exploiting wealth can strengthen a sect and an organization, but it cannot make Penglai prosperous. As long as I, Wu, am in Penglai for a day, I will continue to promote this practice of mine."
You real people, look at me, I look at you, although not all of them understand Wu Jie's intentions, but they all feel Wu Jie's determination and momentum.
This is enough, as the most powerful Yin God True Person in the Penglai Sea Domain, he may even be strong enough to be comparable to the Venerable Fa Xiang - Wu Jie's strength has not yet been revealed at that time - Zhifei Zhenren has the ability to promote his ideals, and maybe he can really do it
Many of the real people of the Pujia Sect don't care about the lives of mortals, but at least they are not deliberately evil people. When they saw others laughing happily, they would also nod and smile - if it weren't for that, Wu Xie would not have been able to admit them into the Pujia faction at all.
Therefore, the tone set by Wu Xie was well executed, and this practice was gradually not limited to Cuiyun Island, but was also imitated in some nearby islands.
Although it has not been a long time, this sea area led by Cuiyun Island has gradually shown a particularly prosperous momentum.
At this moment, Wu Xie stood on the top of the mountain and looked out, only to see that on the busy port, a vigorous vitality was vigorously swaying towards the city, turning into a red cloud that mortals could not see, with a cheerful and uplifting atmosphere, which was slowly swaying and growing.
"No matter how many times I see it, it always makes me feel good," he says with a smile.
"Yes, seeing such a scene, I feel that the future of Cuiyun Island is bright, and the future of the Pujia Sect is also full of hope." Wang Yuanzhen also smiled, but his face immediately turned grim, and he was about to report something.
"Lang Weiming finally plans to invite me to fight, right?" Without waiting for him to speak, Wu Xie asked seemingly casually.
Wang Yuanzhen was stunned, but he didn't expect that he had just gotten the news through the secret channel of Yunya Mountain, but the teacher had already known the truth.
"Don't be so surprised, in fact, I didn't know what the news was, but I sensed his fighting spirit." Wu Xie smiled and stretched out his hand to point in the direction of the core sea area, "That fighting intent is over there, although it is far away, but because it is aimed at me, it is as eye-catching to me as a bonfire in the dark night, even if I don't want to see it."
"The teacher is really powerful," Wang Yuanzhen couldn't help but praise sincerely.
Wu Xie shook his head: "This can't be regarded as a magical power, I think Lang Weiming probably felt me too." Of course, whether he can feel it or not, the result is the same. ”
"The envoy of the Immortals Society should have already set off, and when he comes to the door, tell him that I am in retreat, preparing an earth-shattering secret art." Wu Xie smiled and said, "Although I don't think I'm going to lose, I always have to hang their appetite." ”
"Shizu said that when you duel, he will come to help." Wang Yuanzhen whispered.
"Thank you, Boundless seniors...... Isn't the duel one-on-one? Wu Xie was a little puzzled.
Wang Yuanzhen smiled: "According to the speculation of the ancestor, the unnamed old man is likely to bring the Lingming monk together and fight us two against two." As the president of the Immortals Society, he is a modern-day humanitarian. Gather the two Dharma Venerables, and you will be able to activate the Star Formation. Although the power is far less than that of the complete Star Array, it is still a big killer weapon...... With Shizu's understanding of him, he would not use this means. ”
"Two-on-two...... The cultivation of that Lingming monk is far inferior to that of the boundless predecessors, under normal circumstances, if two against two, it is equivalent to the two of us beating the unnamed old man - the star formation really has such a great power and can make up for such a big gap? ”
"I don't know what to do, I haven't seen the stars in full swing. However, according to the Master Ancestor, even the smallest Star Formation composed of only two Dharma Venerables could at least increase the power of two Dharma Venerables - in other words, the other party was equal to four Dharma Venerables."
Wu Xie frowned, slightly surprised.
The four Dharma Venerables, this level of combat power was not enough to ⊥ him fear. But if the Star Formation had such power, then why did the unnamed old man have to prepare for so long?
With the grudge between the two sides, it is said that the unnamed old man should immediately pull up the Lingming monk and form a star formation to kill him after Lang Ziqing was killed-Wu Xie was only in the Yin God Realm at that time, and he really couldn't resist the big array equivalent to at least four Dharma Venerables with the power of one person
These four Dharma Venerables are definitely not parallel goods like Lang Ziqing, or even the weaker type of Lingming laymen, and they are probably at the same level as Wuyazi. Such a large array can indeed be called a great killing weapon......
"It is said that the Stellar Formation also has great restrictions on its use...... Shizu didn't know much about this either. He only said that if you lose, teacher, Yunya Mountain will definitely not be spared. In that case, then why did he sit on Cloud Cliff Mountain and wait? It's better to take the initiative and use the strength of the teacher to make a break with the unnamed old man
Wu Xie couldn't help laughing, Wu Yazi's words certainly had a sincere side in them, but they were more just to convince him. He arrived in Penglai for only a few decades. But the unnamed old man has been eyeing Yunya Mountain, which has lasted for nearly two thousand years
Since Wu Yazi was able to withstand the pressure of the unnamed old man and protect Yunya Mountain for two thousand years, even if he didn't have himself, he could continue to protect it.
Maybe "making a decision" is indeed the true thought of Wu Yazi's heart, but Wu Xie can't help but be moved by his love for helping him regardless of life and death
"Thank you, Boundless Senior," he saluted in the direction of Cloud Cliff Mountain, and said with a smile, "Then the matter is settled." When the time comes, we will join forces to see how powerful this group of star formations is, and also see how capable this unnamed old man, who has been the number one master for two thousand years, has been powerful."
Almost a month later, the messenger of the Immortals Society came to the door.
Coincidentally, this envoy is the last time he came to Pujia to send an envoy, but because he tried to use the strength of wine to get rid of the murder, he was subdued by Wu Xie and hung on the dock of Cuiyun Island to show the public.
"Is there no one in the Immortals? How do you get this living treasure over? Seeing him, all the real people of the Pujia faction couldn't help but laugh, and felt that the unnamed old man was simply a little old and confused.
But in the quiet room, Wu Jie, who had been covering the entire island with divine thoughts, frowned.
At the time, he didn't think so, but after thinking about it, he realized that this real person was actually not a living treasure, but a person who was very cautious and knew how to advance and retreat, and was especially good at finding a way out for himself.
To be able to use a Flying Fish Clipper, which is known for its weakness, to be able to break through the Yin God-level magic ship, the supernatural powers required are not trivial, and in the entire Pujia Sect, except for Wu Jie, there is no second person who can do it. So before this person made a move, he already knew the identity of the opponent.
Wu Zhifei of the Pujia faction is a person who can kill Lang Ziqing, the Venerable of the Law in one move, although this Yin God real person is very capable, he has almost reached the peak of the Yin God realm, but compared to Lang Ziqing, he is naturally far inferior - then in front of Wu Jie, of course, he is even more vulnerable.
But he still made a decisive move, without the slightest hesitation, and pretended to be stupid.
The result is naturally obvious, he was subdued by Wu Xie and hung on the dock for three days, losing face, and after he went back, he even became the laughing stock of the entire group of immortals.
But he used his own actions to actually test Wu Jie's strength. It hid all this under the appearance of stupidity, and did not alarm anyone.
What's more, he did his best for the unnamed old man this time, but he lost a big face and suffered a big loss, and it was impossible for the unnamed old man not to give him some compensation - because he had already lost face on the side of the Pujia faction, then most of the compensation would be placed elsewhere, and he avoided the danger on the cusp.
Maybe all this is just crooked, but if not, if all this is from his calculations, then this guy is really deep in thought, not an ordinary character
Wu Jie's divine thoughts slowly condensed, turning into invisible eyes, carefully observing this Yin God True Person who had been subdued by him before.
He clearly felt that although this person was laughing arrogantly and arrogantly, there was a deep meaning in his bones that was not revealed-if it weren't for the fact that Wu Jiefa's divine thoughts had strengthened a lot after he became a great success, I am afraid that he would not be able to see it even in person
This man is really not ordinary
Wu Xie nodded secretly, and suppressed the vigilance in his heart, all the real people of the Pujia Sect, don't lose your courtesy.
His order made everyone wonder a little - is it just a clown who is hung on the dock to blow the wind, is it worthy of so much attention from the real person in charge?
But they still carried out Wu Jie's order, and greeted the real person solemnly with the etiquette of being worthy of the identity of the envoy of the immortals.
Seeing the solemn and solemn welcome of the Pujia faction, the real person not only did not be happy, but secretly smiled bitterly.
He knew that his hidden true face had been seen through, and now this fanfare ceremony was not only to give face to the immortals, but also to remind and warn himself.
"We've seen through you, don't try to play any tricks"
Through this solemn and solemn ceremony, the Pujia faction clearly expressed such a meaning.
"This is really a fight between immortals and mortals, two Dharma Venerables are fighting, what is it to sandwich me, a little person in the Yin God Realm, in it" He couldn't help but sigh secretly, but his face was pretending to be casual, and he was not serious, and in the eyes of the real people of the Pujia Sect, he followed them into the main hall of the Pujia Sect
"Huh? Do you know if the real person is not there? ”
"Well, Teacher, he is in retreat, cultivating a secret technique that is extremely powerful and powerful enough to shake the heavens and the earth." Wang Yuanzhen couldn't help but smile and said solemnly, "This secret technique is extremely powerful, and it is quite difficult to cultivate, and we don't know when the old man will be out of the customs." ”
This answer made the messenger suddenly a little blind - what does it mean to "I don't know when the road will be out of the customs", only the unnamed old man has always hung the appetite of others, and when it is the turn of others to hang his appetite in turn
"That'...... Didn't you know that the real person didn't explain something? He hurriedly asked.
Wang Yuanzhen pretended to have an expression of "I don't know anything", and said loudly: "Of course, his old man said that after the secret art is cultivated, the challenge of skipping the level is like chopping melons and vegetables. If some people send it to the door themselves, they will be slaughtered with a knife, and it is better to try the water. ”
The envoy naturally knew who he was talking about, and it took a lot of effort to hold back a wry smile.
He absolutely did not believe that Wu Zhifei was in retreat—through some reliable channels, the unnamed old man had already determined that Wu Zhifei had achieved the Fa Xiang. It is really because of Wu Zhi's illegal achievements that some of his plans can be implemented.
The law is all done, and he also cultivates the secret art of a fart
But it's not easy for him to debunk it, the important thing is that the unnamed old man is also arranging a conspiracy, even if it is logically speaking, it is the side of the Immortals that does not make sense.
So he had to pretend to be casual on his face, and waved his hand very casually, saying, "This kind of trivial matter is not worth caring about, it is a fight between big people, and it has nothing to do with us - the last time I came to Pujiapai, I liked the food here very much, and I plan to stay here for a few days and disturb a few meals...... "Yunyun."
His reaction was a little unexpected by Wang Yuanzhen and others, but the most important business in Cuiyun Island is the service industry, and all the guests who come are guests, as long as the guests don't make trouble, there is no reason to drive the guests away. So they consulted a little, and then agreed to the messenger's request, and arranged for him a rather splendid and comfortable lodging.
"Daoyou can live with confidence, you can live as long as you want." Wang Yuan really smiled without yin or yang, but his tone was quite a little heart-beating, "It's no problem to live for a lifetime"
The messenger was a little uneasy by what he said, but he had to stop and wait patiently.
I have been waiting for this for more than a year.
It wasn't until the autumn of the following year, on a crisp and sunny autumn morning, that Wu Xie "went out".
"The war book of the unnamed old man?" He pretended to hear the news for the first time, and was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shouted, "Quickly find the messenger and bring me the war book."
