In many ancient texts, it is recorded that there is a place in this world where the sun rests every day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 It is said that it is called "Yuya". Also, at the end of the sea, all the sea water flows towards one place, which is called "Guiru". In the distant East China Sea, there are several immortal mountains with abundant spiritual energy. These fairy mountains have no roots, and underneath are carried by several huge turtles. Once these giant tortoises die, or for some reason break away, the fairy mountains are like leaves falling from the trees, flowing down the sea to the ruins.

Legends are just legends after all, no one has ever seen these things, and no one has really tasted the immortal fruit of immortality on the fairy mountain. Ordinary people just use this as an after-dinner conversation, but cultivators are different. They believe that all the legends in heaven and earth are well documented, especially the spiritual fruits on the overseas immortal mountains, which are full of attraction to the monks. The reason why the Gao family and the Oriental family built a fleet was to send people to find immortal mountains overseas. It's just that this kind of aimless search has been tens of thousands of years since the distant era of the two ancestors. The Gao family lost hundreds of ships before and after, and the Dongfang family also had countless fleets that went to sea and were never heard from. In addition to the technical problems of seagoing ship construction, more importantly, it is because of the unfamiliarity with the sea area. Since previous generations, the heads of the two families have lost their minds about finding immortal mountains on the sea and have instead devoted their energy to land management. Over time, the size of the fleet has been reduced day by day, and now, the two large ships have merged and have not even one percent of what they were at their peak.

The monk's insight was extraordinary, and both Gao Liquan and Dongfang Peng were well aware of the convenience of replacing land transportation by sea and the huge business opportunities contained in it. However, the monks' demand for worldly gold and silver was not very large, especially to the extent that the Gao family and the Eastern family had become the basis for maintaining the operation of a large family. It's not nice to say. No matter how much money there is, it has nothing to do with the ancestors of the family. The only thing they were interested in was the elixir, which was the spirit fruit. As for gold and silver...... It's all reserved for the younger generations.

If it weren't for Yang Tianhong's request, Gao Liquan and Dongfang Peng would not have come up with a family fleet for them to drive. After all, monks are involved in human trade and transportation, and such a thing is really not worth boasting about. Even. It may also become a laughing stock in the eyes of other monks.

Gao Tianwu was a little sullen. If it weren't for his father's strict orders, he wouldn't have been willing to come on this mission. Last time I went to the Yang Mansion to give gifts, I entered the inner courtyard of the Yang Mansion in a daze, and almost gave things to the wrong person, and I was also seen with the words of thousand-year-old ginseng on the gift list, which caused an uproar in the capital of Chu State. Fortunately, Yang Tianhong was smart, and he transferred the ginseng as a dowry to Emperor Shunming between the halls, which dodged countless open guns and arrows. After returning home, Gao Tianwu was severely reprimanded by his father. He also entrusted him with the task of leading the family fleet to Anzhou. In all fairness, Gao Tianwu really didn't like these things that went back and forth between the world. In contrast, he prefers the Hessian Mountains and enjoys dealing with the wild beasts of the mountains. In Gao Tianwu's opinion, fighting with the desolate beasts and setting traps to capture these powerful creatures alive is an excellent way to truly show his strength and wisdom.

If it's a coincidence, you can catch a high-grade purebred beast. Just drinking the blood in the body of the desolate beast was enough to allow one's cultivation to increase dramatically in a short period of time. Maybe. You can also be promoted to the Jindan class and become an eye-catching existence in the family and cultivation world.

But there is no way, my father's order must not be violated. What's more, he has a good personal relationship with Yang Tianhong, but because of his feelings, he can only pinch his nose and admit this kind of thing. Watch the crowds of people coming and going on the docks to deliver goods. Gao Tianwu could only exhale heavily, thinking about whether he should find a woman to do more bed exercises and give birth to a few children early when he went back this time. When something like this happens again in the future, you can get your children out of the way, and you don't have to work hard like this.

Compared to Gao Tianwu, who was full of depression. Dongfang Xiao, who has a gentle temperament, is obviously easier to deal with. Meng Xiong thinks so, too. Therefore, he first found Dongfang Xiao, with the respect and admiration of the worldly people for the monk, first carefully checked the list of goods shipped to Anzhou, and then took out two fine porcelain jade bottles from his pocket, and carefully sent them to Dongfang Xiao with a smile.

Dongfang Xiao was a little curious. He is no stranger to this kind of fine porcelain jade bottle, and the bottle containing the pill at home is almost this texture. The elixir is rich in aura, and if it is placed in ordinary mundane objects, the spiritual power can easily escape. Only a fine porcelain jade bottle with good texture can lock the elixir spiritual energy for a long time. Therefore, for this jade bottle, all monks carry a few with them so that they can be ready for use at any time.

Looking at the incomprehensible gaze in Dongfang Xiao's eyes, Meng Xiong smiled and said, "Don't doubt that Dongfang Gongzi, this is a thank you gift that Hou Ye has repeatedly explained before, and it must be sent to you and Gao Gongzi." ”

"Thank you?"

The curiosity on Dongfang Xiao's face became even thicker. He took a jade bottle, uncorked it, sniffed it lightly in his nostrils, and his gaze fell on the inside of the bottle. Immediately, the smile on Dongfang Xiao's face suddenly disappeared, and the whole person became extremely cautious, and even his eyes became sharp.

With the cultivation of the third layer of Dongfang Xiaozhuji, of course, it can be seen that the bottle is filled with Yuan Qi Pill. The Oriental family is a family outside the world, and the exercises are unique, but they also need the Yuan Qi Pill as a foundation. It is no exaggeration to say that the Dongfang family is a small sect and also has its own independent pill production and manufacturing system. All cultivation resources are only open to the children of the family. Moreover, on the issue of the distribution of pills, we can only try to be as average as possible, but it is impossible to be like the Guiyuan Sect, as long as all the disciples of the sect who have successfully built the foundation can get the Yuan Qi Pill on a monthly basis.

Taking Dongfang Xiao as an example, although he gets a Yuan Qi Pill every month, this kind of treatment is not enjoyed by all the Zhuji people of the Dongfang family. Dongfang Xiao is a direct blood relative, and his own cultivation is also quite hard, and he is making rapid progress. If you change to someone else, it is usually only one pill every two months. There are even smaller ones, three months, or even half a year to get one.

If a family wants to become bigger and stronger, it is absolutely impossible not to do without a few strong leaders. The resources possessed by the cultivation family were far less than those of the cultivation sect, and could only be supplied to the young juniors with the best qualifications in the family. Although Dongfang Xiao is no stranger to things like Yuanqi Pill, he also knows the preciousness of this thing. He knew very well that with Yang Tianhong's character, he would definitely not let the Oriental family do things in vain. According to Dongfang Xiao's original idea, it should be to compensate the Dongfang family in terms of gold and silver. But I didn't think of it. The goods were only shipped at the Fuzhou wharf, and before they arrived in Anzhou, Meng Xiong took the initiative to send a bottle full of Yuanqi Pill according to Yang Tianhong's instructions.

The jade bottle was small and contained six pills. This is equivalent to Dongfang Xiao's pill quota for half a year.

This thank you gift is too valuable. For a while, Dongfang Xiao felt a little at a loss. My heart was full of emotion, and I was also amazed by Yang Tianhong's personality.

The disciples of the Guiyuan Sect are really extraordinary. This is true even if you give a gift.

The usual gifts are different from the gifts during the Chinese New Year. Last time I went to Yang's Mansion to give gifts, although there was also a Yuan Qi Pill on the gift list. But it was given by his father Dongfang Peng in order to thank Yang Tianhong. At the foot of Hesse Mountain that day, if Yang Tianhong hadn't made a move to dissolve the poison of the gray rot insect in Dongfang Peng's body, Dongfang Peng would have died in Huangquan. If you don't have your father's support. It was absolutely impossible for Dongfang Xiao to maintain his current position in the family. Which is more important, Dongfang Xiao is very clear. Therefore, he didn't feel how sorry it was for those Yuan Qi Pills sent to the Yang Mansion during the Chinese New Year. The relationship between gifts and favors has always been blurred. If there is no such connection, it is impossible to build a friendship between Yang Tianhong and the Guiyuan Sect.

What's more, the bottle of Yuan Qi Pill sent by Meng Xiong is not trivial. Dongfang Xiao sniffed it, and he had already noticed that the quality of the pill was extraordinary, and it was definitely not a Yuan Qi Pill in the ordinary sense. At least it is also a three-turn pill after refining and purification. In the cultivation world's market, one pill of this kind was enough to be worth ten pills of the same rank. Even. The value is likely to get even higher.

What is this concept?

It is equivalent to giving yourself the opportunity to advance at least two levels in vain.

Although Dongfang Xiao is extremely deep in the city, he can no longer maintain his composure in the face of such a generous courtesy. He took a deep breath, swept away the cold arrogance he had for such worldly people as Meng Xiong before, bowed to Meng Xiong, and said seriously: "Thank you Mr. Meng here first." When the goods arrive in Anzhou, I will definitely have to speak for the old gentleman in front of my virtuous brother. ”

In Dongfang Xiao's opinion. Being able to hand over two full bottles of the Three-Turn Vitality Pill to himself and Gao Tianwu Meng Xiong was in itself worthy of respect. Although the word "credibility" is praised by the world, few people can really do it. The medicinal value of two bottles of pills is not excessive. Meng Xiong was not greedy at all. Of course, there is also Yang Tianhong's deterrent effect, and more importantly, Meng Xiong himself.

When Gao Tianwu got the jade bottle. The reaction was even more exaggerated than Dongfang Xiao's previous performance. For a few seconds, Gao Tianwu felt that he had lost his ability to think, and looked at the jade bottle in a daze. After nearly half a minute, he woke up from the trance and shock, raised his right hand high, slapped himself in the face, felt the hot pain on his cheeks, and shouted in surprise: "This, this is true, this is true!"

Dongfang Xiao smiled and stopped Gao Tianwu, who wanted to shout wildly: "If you want everyone to know about this, then make the volume louder." If you cause any misfortune as a result, you will be responsible for all the consequences. ”

Gao Tianwu immediately shut his mouth and hurriedly put away the jade bottle containing the Yuan Qi Pill. With ecstasy and shock, he lowered his voice and said, "Dongfang Gongzi, these Yuan Qi Pills ...... Is it all true?"

Dongfang Xiao can understand Gao Tianwu's psychology at the moment. No matter how much of a monk is struck on the head by this great fortune falling from the sky, there is a kind of ecstasy that he spent two dollars to buy five million, which then turns into disbelief and confusion. At such times, if no one next to him stands up to help him regain his senses, I am afraid that things will turn in the direction of insanity.

"True or not, you have eyes and nose, you should know better than me. ”

Dongfang Xiao didn't answer Gao Tianwu's question directly, he stood at the bow of the boat, stared at the white waves in the distance, and said lightly: "Before, I always thought that my father was already old in thinking about things, and he had to calculate everything clearly. Now it seems that the old people do have the wisdom of the old people, they see things much more clearly than we do, and know who they can make friends with and who should take the trouble to follow closely. ”

Although Gao Tianwu was rude, he was not stupid: "Dongfang Gongzi means that Yang Tianhong is the kind of person who is worth befriending?"

Dongfang Xiao smiled: "On this issue, senior Gao has more say than me. Otherwise, Mr. Gao, you would not have been scolded by the senior Gao for giving a thousand-year-old ginseng by mistake, nor would you have received a gift from my virtuous brother because of this mission. Speaking of which. Brother Xian may be the destined noble person of my Oriental family. ”

These words are somewhat subtle. Gao Tianwu felt that it was difficult to understand, so he could only guess literally: "What does Dongfang Gongzi mean that Yang Tianhong has cultivated to a high level?

Dongfang Xiao glanced at Gao Tianwu deeply, and said seriously: "I think you should change your concept." My virtuous brother is no longer the former military general of the imperial court, but the resolute and brave of the Great Chu Dynasty. To him. The necessary respect should be maintained. The title of "Hou Ye" is not too much in any case. In addition, this time, since Gao Gongzi led the fleet over, it also means that the Gao family and my Dongfang family are tied together. My virtuous brother is a shrewd man, and he will never do anything that will suffer his own losses. Although Anzhou is a secular realm, no one can guarantee that there are no genius treasures left there. What's more, my virtuous brother has always been steady, if he values Anzhou, he must have a complete plan. Although I don't know what the virtuous brother is thinking. But it is certain that what he wants in Anzhou must be very heavy. Perhaps, it is also a move secretly planned by Guiyuan Sect. ”

"Guiyuan Sect's plan?"

Gao Tianwu's eyes widened: "What can you plan for the land outside Anzhou?"

Dongfang Xiao's face was serious, and his voice was serious: "After all, you and I are not real cultivation sects, and it is already due to luck that we can get in touch with Yang Tianhong." Anyway, what is the secret? Or don't try to probe. If the time comes, we should know. and will be able to know. If you force yourself to understand early, it may not do you any good. As far as secular business is concerned, the practice of using sea to communicate Anzhou and Chu is indeed a clever move. In terms of coming and going, Anzhou's products can be transported out, and financial resources can also be replenished. In a word. If my virtuous brother asks for it, I honestly say yes. ”

Gao Tianwu had a simple mind, and the things he thought of were far less complicated than Dongfang Xiao's. He clenched the jade bottle in the Qiankun bag tightly, and said seriously: "This bottle of elixir alone is enough for me to accept Yang Gongzi...... Oh. It should be Yang Houye's favor. I can't speak, I only understand the truth that kindness will be repaid. ”

When Dongfang Xiao heard this, he shook his head and smiled lightly, and stopped talking.

He turned around, looked at the people coming and going on the dock, and said to himself: "The method of sea transportation is indeed very good, but I don't know when this method can be used? After all, Fuzhou is the inland region of Chu, and it is not as far as the Tiangao Emperor of Anzhou." If someone has ulterior motives, slanders in front of Emperor Chu, and cuts off the location of the goods from the mainland on the ship, I am afraid that things will become troublesome...... When I arrived in Anzhou this time, I should explain the matter to the virtuous brother, so that he could plan early and prepare for the response. ”

......

The capital of Chu, the imperial palace.

Lingxiu Palace has been vacant for many years. It's just that Emperor Shunming has always asked someone to clean it on time, and the furniture and various objects are not covered with dust, and they look clean.

Before leaving the palace to follow the uncle of King Changle, Lingxiu Palace was Xiaohe's residence. Although the area here is small, far less spacious than in the Queen's Palace, it is better than small and exquisite, and the scenery is unique. Far from it, the winding gardens and the promenades between the pavilions and pavilions are more elaborate than other places.

For the only bloodline left by the former queen, Emperor Shunming did put a lot of effort into it. It's just that as an emperor, he is destined to be a qualified father in terms of family relationships.

Xiaohe can certainly understand this. She has never resented Emperor Shunming because of this. Emperor Shunming agreed to Yang Tianhong's marriage proposal, and of course Xiaohe had to obey his father and stay in Lingxiu Palace for a few more days. It's just that she is in a quiet mood, doesn't like to be noisy, and has no extra hobbies except reading and practicing every day.

The palace maids and attendants were all temporarily arranged. The people in the palace are the most snobbish. Everyone knows very well that Princess Wenyuan will definitely not stay in this palace for a long time, so there is no need to do her best like other concubines. Somewhat sluggish in words, Xiaohe often finds it difficult to call these palace maids if she has any needs on weekdays. In this regard, Xiaohe did not speak, just quietly read his book, and devoted himself to cultivation according to the method taught by Yang Tianhong. Since I was a child, I have seen more with my white eyes, and I have become accustomed to it. The father said that it would only take half a year at most, and when Yang Tianhong gained a firm foothold in Anzhou and found a good day and an auspicious day, he would be able to marry himself.

Yang Tianhong's choice of Fuzhou as the place where the goods of the Meng family firm were loaded on the ship was also the result of careful discussions with Xiaohe. As a princess, it is customary to get a fief of your own. Fuzhou has always been a barren small county with little production. The surrounding waters are not rich in fish, and the terrain is not suitable for salting, so it is a poor place where birds don't poop. This kind of state capital, even if it is given away for nothing, will not be wanted. Presumably, as long as Xiaohe proposes it, he will definitely get Emperor Shunming's answer. (To be continued.) )
