Chapter 106: Debt
Yun Tianxiao walked into the martial arts camp under the guidance of Wu Chenzi, and saw a few martial arts scum in front of him, and sighed in his heart: "Will this seat be with these beasts in the future?" But now, with a one-on-four approach, killing them is a bit more laborious, but it can be done. ”
True qi swelled in his cuffs, gradually condensing in the palm of his hand.
Facing the great enemy, the four of them held the Xuantie Sword in their hands and sweated nervously.
Wu Chenzi saw that it was wrong, and hurriedly stopped him and said: "Master Yun must not act rashly, the immortal master left these people in the secret realm to ask them to kill demons and make meritorious contributions." ”
Yun Tianxiao put away his true qi and looked away, not even looking at them.
Even if it was a murderous demon king like Heisha, they all breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that they had been closed by the ghost gate.
Liu Liang walked over from outside the camp, smiled at Yun Tian and asked, "This must be the innate master Yun Tian who set off a monstrous wave in the Kyushu martial arts. ”
Yun Tianxiao looked at Liu Liang with mixed feelings, this immortal helped Tianmen to ruin his great cause, but he saved himself from Di Hao's hands to the secret realm, and indirectly saved the lives of his entire Yun clan, for such an immortal, he really didn't know whether to hate or be grateful.
He bowed down to the immortal and said, "Sinner Yun Tian smiled and greeted the immortal master. ”
Liu Liang turned around and said with a smile: "What about sinners, the struggle for ideas, the struggle for power, and the killing and conquest are just mundane trivial matters, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose." ”
What the immortal said is quite transcendent, since it is a mundane trivial matter, why do you still want to get involved, is this still the work of an immortal who has no desires, no joys and no sorrows?
Yun Tianxiao didn't think about those bad things, he only thought about the scene he saw just now, because it was beyond the scope of the immortal fighting method, after all, the terrifying tentacles and the sarcoma body full of eyes could not be the real body of the immortal, more like a demon.
"Immortal Master, I just saw a thing in the sky, with a strange shape like a mountain, full of long snakes, eyes all over the body, I don't know ......"
If nothing changes, Yun Tianxiao will stay in the secret realm forever in this life, and Liu Liang is naturally happy to share it with him: "According to legend, there is an ancient demon god in this secret realm, named Cthulhu, who is incomparably strong, dominates the common people, and destroys a world in a single hand. The giant thing in the sky just now was its courtier, the name of the Star Family, and it was defeated by the Immortal Fighting Method for several rounds, and had fled back to the clouds. ”
Sure enough, the sword qi that emanated from the ground just now was emitted by the immortal master, and only that kind of sword qi that went straight through the clouds could defeat that behemoth.
After hearing this, Heisha and the other four felt more and more that they were following the immortals, but they didn't expect to be a villain all their lives and blend into the immortal family's team, this god is really ...... Not long-eyed.
Hua Qianhe suddenly became inopportunely sensitive and studious, and asked the question: "Since the immortal master is an immortal, why should he passively guard the ground, and since that thing is a demon, why did it fly down from the sky." Immortals don't sin, villains just love to see immortals and monsters since childhood, and the immortals in the book live in the sky, at least in the mountains, and the demons should live in caves in the mountains. ”
Well, this question is really tricky, and I can't answer it without any nonsense.
Liu Liang closed his eyes and pondered, before he spoke slowly: "You have only heard that the demon is one foot high and the road is one foot high, but have you ever known that yin and yang are reversed, and heaven and earth are out of balance? Have you ever known why this world is full of monsters and monsters? Because this place is already a world that they control and rule, we are the outliers, and this place is a foot high and a foot high. ”
"Demons and monsters occupy the heavens, dominate the four directions, the gods who once ruled the world have fallen, those immortals who are as bright as the stars in the sky, have fallen from the fairy world to the mortal dust, and gradually disappeared, the world belongs to the demon god Cthulhu, only I, an immortal who has been hidden for thousands of years, just want to fight the entire demon world with my own strength, do you think it is feasible?"
After hearing this, several people only felt a tremor in their souls, and their worldview was subverted at this moment, and it turned out that it was not correct for evil to prevail over good. A person as brutal as the Black Sha can't imagine what the world is like when the whole world is ruled by someone like him. But in the world in front of you, the devil becomes orthodox!
Yun Tianxiao's admiration for Liu Liang's martial arts rose to admiration for Immortal, and it was difficult for him to imagine how a lone immortal could confront the entire Demon Dao World in such a land.
He stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said reverently: "I have sworn to the heavens that I will stay in the secret realm for the rest of my life, and now I am willing to serve the immortals with this seven-foot body and punish the demons together." ”
Hei Sha lowered his head and secretly wondered, it turned out that the immortal was the commander of the light pole in this secret realm, so what should he do now, did he want to go to the demons, if he went to the demons, he would also grow into that ghost, then he would rather be a man.
It's better to escape as soon as possible, people like them are called demons in the Kyushu martial arts, but in this kind of place, they are ants.
It's just that now in addition to the immortals, there is another Yuntian smile beside him, and the chance of escaping is even slimmer. It was hard work for the immortals to fight the demons, but it was as easy to crush them as it was to crush a bed bug.
Liu Liang's heart is very comfortable, now that he has Yun Tianxiao's followers, he doesn't have to bother to stare at these few prisoners who want to escape at any time, the jealous and hateful Yun Zhangmen will naturally take care of them to death.
He stretched out his hand to help Yun Tianxiao up from the ground, nodded and said, "From tomorrow onwards, we will continue to build the railway, and you will lead the five of them to practice." ”
……
Di Hao regained control of Wulin, kept his promise and did not liquidate Lei Zhen, Zhang Youren, and Tang Jing who surrendered, and let them continue to be in charge of their respective sects. Lei Zhen even got the jurisdiction of Yangzhou because he stood correctly in advance, becoming the only local head across the two states.
He also moved all of Yun Tianxiao's relatives to Chaoge City, which is called protection, but in fact it is control, as long as Yun Zhangmen does not leave the secret realm, they can be safe and sound.
Of course, the Martial Arts Supreme is a very resentful person, and he is sure that with the sinister cruelty of the secret realm and the nature of the immortal master, Yun Tianxiao will not live long in it. Therefore, he told Emperor Tuo, the chief helmsman of Yongzhou, to let him install an eyeliner in the team to deliver ore, and once he found that Yun Tianxiao died in the secret realm, he would immediately send a message to Chaoge City, and he could kill the entire Yun clan with confidence.
Now that the war is over, it's time to resume normal government affairs, and the import of armor and weapons from the secret realm should also be stopped quickly, and then let Di Ze lead the Ministry of Industry to settle how much money they owe to the Immortal Master.
From the day of the Kyushu Martial Arts War, hundreds of sets of armor were transported out of the secret realm every day, and by the end of the war, the Dragon Armor Army had received more than 70,000 sets of fine iron and dark iron armor, and the bow and arrow and the black iron sword were similar, and the total amount spent was 252 million taels of gold.
Di Ze wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly asked the clerk who was settling accounts: "Did you miscalculate?" ”
The officials spread their hands and said, "That's right, we've done the math twice." ”
"Then count it again!"
Everyone's fingers fluttered on the abacus, and in the end, it was still 252 million taels.
What is the concept of 200 million taels of gold? At present, the gold reserves in the treasury of Chaoge City are only more than 40,000 taels, and the grain and property collected by Tianmen in taxes every year together with the tributes of the rest of the factions are only more than 3 million taels of gold, and even if all the income of Tianmen is used to pay off the debt, it will take 85 years to pay off.
How dare he show this list to His Majesty, but fortunately, what the immortals want is not gold and grain taxes, but ores and heavenly treasures, but mining and transporting these ores also requires a lot of manpower and financial resources.
"You can calculate for me again, how much does it cost to convert all this gold into refined iron and black iron ore?"
After everyone calculated again, the result was 480 million ores, which is also staggering, what are the reserves of these two ores in the entire Kyushu world? However, there are twelve fine iron mountains in Yongzhou, and the reserves should be very rich.
Di Ze took this financial report to Di Hao, and after reading it, the Supreme also had a liver ache, and laughed angrily: "Dare to love me, the martial arts supreme, is to keep the looted property for this so-called immortal master?" My world has become his treasure trove! ”
"Your Majesty must not be angry and hurt your body, although the immortals in the secret realm are asking for a little more, but the minister is willing to go to the secret realm again, asking the immortal master to reduce the debt and delay the return time."
"Bullshit! Insatiable devil! Shameless! Di Hao was furious, so frightened that the palace maids and chamberlains fell to their knees.
Emperor Tao, the commander of the Dragon Armor Army, gave Di Hao an idea next to him and said: "Although Your Majesty owes a huge debt, you have also raised an invincible army, such a strong army, it is a pity not to use it to fight." ”
"Liaodong's Yijianmen and Goryeo's Heavenly Master Dao are unwilling to submit to my Tianmen, as well as the Poison Reduction Sect in Southern Xinjiang and the Amaterasu Divine Society in Dongying also frequently provoke by virtue of their geographical advantages, we just call on the martial arts factions to crusade against Liaodong first, then pacify southern Xinjiang, and finally punish Dongying, which can not only weaken the martial arts sect in the Central Plains through war, but also expand the territory, isn't it beautiful?"
Di Hao pinched his chin and his eyes lit up: "Southern Xinjiang is rich in beautiful jade and jade, Liaodong Goryeo is rich in ginseng and beauties, Dongying is rich in gold and silver, and it is said that the entire Temple of Amaterasu is made of gold, which can be used to evaluate and repay debts to immortals." ”
When Di Ze heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and admonished: "Your Majesty, you must not fight to raise debts!" The dispatch of the army is a waste of money and labor, and besides, the armament of our dragon armor army depends on the secret realm, and once it falls into the flames of war, it will continue to borrow and procure, this is a vicious circle, Your Majesty! ”
Di Tao took the opportunity to refute the bewitchment beside him: "Elder Di Ze is right, fighting a war will indeed consume manpower and financial resources, but once you take these places, you can loot them on a large scale, and the benefits of resources will be even more than a hundred times and a thousand times, Your Majesty must not ignore it!" ”
Di Ze wanted to argue again, but Di Hao stretched out his hand to stop him: "There is no need to say any more, extraordinary times require extraordinary methods, I have made up my mind, and I want to pay off my debts with war!" Elder Di Ze, please also go to the secret realm to ask the Immortal Master, hoping that he can postpone his debts and reduce the price of his armor weapons. ”
"Yes." Di Ze had no choice but to retreat.
