Travels in the Western Continent Chapter 50 Knowing the Homeland
Ichimoku is a commercial and trade power on the western continent.
Originally, its resources were scarce, and to the north was a mountain of two negative gods that was cursed by the gods and could not be crossed, and on the other side of the two negative mountains was a ghost country where all the people cultivated immortals. To the west is a stretch of desert, and legend has it that there is a country of Wuqi where all the people lie down. To the south, there is a large river, and on one side of the river is a country with the arms of the whole people.
Originally, in such an environment, Ichimoku did not have any advantages that were visible to the naked eye. However, with the rise of the northernmost Yaksha country in the Western Continent affecting the ghost country, the national fortunes of the Ichimoku country began to improve.
Under these circumstances, the current monarch of Ichimoku Province changed his conservative style and began to promote the doctrine of take-it-or-leave-it.
If the ghost country's talisman technology is good, you will learn to make talismans, and if the elixir of the Central Plains Continent is good, you will make dan. It's really not good, so I buy it and resell it to make the difference, anyway, how to make money. In less than a hundred years, the country of Ichimoku was built into prosperity and strength.
So when you walk in the cities of Ichimoku Country, you will feel that there is not much difference between this place and the cities of the Central Plains Continent, the only difference is that there are many people with one eye here, and there are very few people with two eyes.
Of course, there is another place here that is very different from the Central Plains Continent, that is, it is ruled and managed by the Xiuxian family. And the Xiao family is the powerful family that currently governs the country, and the current head of the family, Xiao Min, is the emperor of the country.
However, Xiao Min has a very headache at the moment, that is, the heir problem that all emperors will worry about.
It turned out that although Xiao Min had reached the Yuanying cultivation very early, he was also the Hongfu of his father who was also the Yuanying cultivation, and he lived a chic life for hundreds of years, and finally returned to China to inherit the throne when his father was about to sit down.
So when he finally had five sons, he found that if he didn't do his best to cultivate these guys, I was afraid that the Xiao family would have an emperor of Jin Dan cultivation.
But God did not fulfill people's wishes, and in a reckless decision, he sent the eldest son who was originally the most promising advanced Yuanying to the ghost country as an envoy, and as a result, he never returned.
Later, in order to bring the eldest son back to China, the second son, who was a general, did not know what means he used to cross the Erzhi Mountain with 30,000 horses, but he never returned.
In this toss, the choice of heir fell to the third son Xiao Yin. However, Xiao Min didn't like these three sons because he pursued art too much and refused to seek the Tao. For immortal cultivators, this is a big taboo. Because the pattern is small, cultivation will be limited.
So when the eldest son and the second son disappeared for a hundred years, and the third son was still in Jindan cultivation, Xiao Min knew that this kid had stopped here in his life.
But at this time, his eldest son Xiao Shen suddenly returned, and he had already become a Yuanying monk. This made Xiao Min overjoyed, and immediately issued an edict of universal celebration.
And it is precisely because of this edict that Changping Castle, the capital of Ichimoku Country, has recently become very lively. The street is full of lights, singing and dancing everywhere, it is simply a peaceful and prosperous world.
The Changping branch of the Han family is also very busy these days, in addition to preparing a large number of material orders for the celebration, they also need to collect some refining materials for the boss who suddenly appeared.
This boss appeared in Changping City two years ago, and he was surprised that the Han family's business had opened to the Western Continent. Fortunately, the shopkeeper Wen who was in charge of the Changping branch at that time was one of the founding members of the headquarters of Anfeng City, so he immediately recognized Han Nuo, whose face had hardly changed.
At this moment, Han Nuo was on the fifth floor of the Changping branch, looking at some of the accounts and information of the Han family firm in recent years. When he finally shaved off his beard, he turned back into the mediocre-looking young man.
To be honest, Han Heming is really a business wizard, Han Nuo just briefly explained some of the earth's corporate culture and double-entry bookkeeping, and as a result, he actually used modern management thinking to build a huge Internet of Things, and also built the Han family business into a world-class enterprise.
However, judging from the recent transmissions, Han Heming's physical condition has become worse and worse. A person who has done his best must end up in death. Therefore, Han Heming has been trying to find a way to continue his business philosophy, not only letting people organize it into a book as an internal teaching material for the firm, but also selecting a group of young people to teach within the firm.
Han Nuo sighed very much after learning about these things, after he came to this world, there are not many people worthy of admiration, Luo Jun is counted as one, and Han Heming should also be counted as one.
In fact, the life that has the end is the most worthy of respect, because knowing that life is short, can we catch up. A person like Han Heming, who almost starved to death at the corner of the Anfeng city wall, actually used his short decades of life like this, and if he changed himself, I am afraid he would not be able to do it.
said that when Han Nuo was sad about the spring and autumn, an uninvited guest rushed up. "Miss Yu, the head of my family is doing something, and no one can go upstairs without his order!" The guys downstairs hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.
"This girl is a ghost, not a human!" Yu Yun flashed the guy in a fluttering figure and went upstairs.
"Second girl, you are a dignified princess of a country, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette." Han Nuo's head grew when he saw Yu Yun pestering him again.
"Is my aircraft ready?" As soon as Yu Yun came up, she begged for something.
"No, no! Look at the pile of paperwork in front of me, do you think I have time to do that? Han Nuo pointed to the mountains of paper materials in front of him.
"Come less, you haven't come back for decades and haven't seen this business open. You're just trying to avoid me, are you going to that underground auction tonight? Yu Yun saw Han Nuo's mind very thoroughly.
"It's Chengxiu's big mouth again?" Han Nuo squinted at Yu Yun, who nodded excitedly. Han Nuo glanced at her, not knowing what to say. At that moment, there was another sound of footsteps downstairs.
"It turned out to be Miss Yuyun." The person who came was a white-faced scholar of the human race who was about twenty-eight years old, brightly dressed, and looked like a gentleman of a certain Central Plains clan.
"You are?" Yu Yun stared at the visitor suspiciously.
"Senior Xiao, are you setting off so early?" Han Nuo bowed to the visitor.
"Didn't I tell you not to take a bite of a senior?" The person who came was Xiao Zhi, who had been trapped in the Ernegative Mountain for a hundred years.
"Huh! Are you Xiao Zhi? Only then did Yu Yun react, "Your skin is quite good-looking!" Where did you get it? ”
"Bought!" Xiao Zhi had a smug expression. "The down-and-out Terran Qi Refiner had been floating at sea for several days when he was discovered, unconscious."
Han Nuo squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhi's new body, it was indeed like that when he saw it for the first time, but this time he saw it, his skin was better than snow, and he could be broken by blowing, it was not at all possible that he could be so white in two or three months. He sneered in his heart and didn't say anything.
And Yu Yun looked very interested, "Is there a woman for sale?" ”
"Yes, there are several of them today, and when the time comes, Brother Han, you can pick a few and count them in my account." changed the appearance of the general who was in the Erying Mountain that day, and Xiao Zhi's demeanor was a little frivolous.
In the afternoon of this day, in an underground market in Changping City, in a building that looks like an opera house.
On the stage in the middle, a group of women with heavy makeup twisted their graceful waists and performed a snake dance from the ghost country.
Han Nuo looked at the women in the field with a wooden expression, thinking about something else in his heart. He didn't notice when the women stepped down, nor did he pay attention to what the Ichimoku big man who was presiding over the auction said. Even Xiao Zhi and Yu Yun were arguing about something, but they didn't hear it clearly.
"Brother Han, Brother Han! Why are you stunned! Xiao Zhi kept shaking the folding fan in front of Han Nuo's eyes with the folding fan in his hand, pulling Han Nuo back to reality.
"Uh, I'm sorry, I just remembered something about my hometown." Han Nuo smiled wryly and glanced at the slaves that were being auctioned off on the table.
It was a Tsukiji nun who seemed to have taken some kind of medicine to maintain her appearance, and her cultivation did not match her appearance. However, she also wears a lock ring around her neck. "Huh! It's her! Han Nuo suddenly stood up and looked at the woman carefully.
"Four thousand spirit stones at once! Four thousand spirit stones twice! 4,000 ...... That fellow Daoist came out with four thousand five hundred spirit stones! Is there a markup? The big man of the Ichimu clan who was in charge of the auction worked hard to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene, "The unpopular Terran foundation building female monk, the excellent furnace is here, hurry up if you want to make a move!" ”
As soon as he heard the words 'not red', the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became warm, and the price immediately soared to nine thousand spirit stones. Han Nuo frowned and directly gave twenty thousand spirit stones. As soon as he made a move, the entire auction hall was silent, and even Yu Yun and Xiao Zhi looked at Han Nuo with an inexplicable expression.
It didn't take long for the staff of the auction hall to lead the female cultivator to Han Nuo, and after Han Nuo finished settling the account, he handed Han Nuo a small jade plaque, which contained the unlocking method of the Lock Spirit Ring. Han Nuo sneered and smashed the jade plaque, and the female cultivator couldn't help frowning when she saw this.
But I saw Han Nuo grab the lock spirit ring with his bare hands and break it gently, and then take it off. The female cultivator was slightly surprised, and lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Han Nuo.
"Let's go, get out of here with me." Han Nuo put away the lock spirit ring and said lightly, and walked out on his own. The female cultivator looked at Xiao Zhi and Yu Yun, but she didn't have the intention of escaping, and immediately followed Han Nuo.
A moment later, in a small mansion behind the Changping branch of the Han family's firm.
The female correction who was bought by Han Nuo for 20,000 spirit stones was sitting at the stone table in the middle of the small courtyard and eating kebabs, while Han Nuo on the side was sprinkling cumin on the meat skewers on the charcoal fire.
"Tell me how you got caught." Han Nuo handed the two freshly grilled skewers of pork belly to the female cultivator, who was one of the tool people he had attracted with barbecue in the Land of Trials, the girl who was greedy and talkative.
The nun raised her head and looked at Han Nuo with star-like eyes, "Can you wait until I'm full?" ”
Han Nuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and then returned to the barbecue grill to roast lacquered meat. He looked at the nun's cheeks, which were bulging from the stuffing of food in her mouth, and remembered the days when she was in Tianyunmen.
The nun continued to eat until the venison prepared by Han Nuo was almost gone, and then she stopped. Han Nuo looked at her helplessly and couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing Han Nuo laughing at her, the female cultivator didn't feel shy, she just praised Han Nuo's barbecue as the best in the world.
"By the way, how did you manage to get married so quickly?" The nun suddenly asked Han Nuo.
"I'm supposed to ask you a question first, right?" Han Nuo used the bamboo stick in his hand to flick the charcoal fire in front of him, and looked at the female cultivator with squinted eyes. "You used to talk a lot, and you talked a lot."
"Who's to say I'm not right now?" The female cultivator puffed out her cheeks and grimaced at Han Nuo, "Do you know that the Haoran Alliance is still wanted by you?" ”
"Why?" Han Nuo was successfully attracted to this topic.
"Because you killed three foundation building disciples and one Jindan elder." The nun said. "The genius of Tianyun Gate is incredible, and he can kill the Jindan monk during the foundation building period."
"This is wronging me, I managed to escape from the Jindan monk with great effort, how did I kill him?" Han Nuo tried his best to recall the scene of that battle back then, and he couldn't remember which one and a half moves he could have hurt the other party.
"Anyway, that's what the rumors in the rivers and lakes say, but after that, Haoran League doesn't seem to have sent people to look for you everywhere."
"Then why are they offering me a reward?"
"Face, I won't send anyone to arrest you, but the wanted warrant must continue to hang. Don't you see you haven't been seen in the Central Plains for decades? What have you been doing all these years? The nun asked with interest.
"You'd better tell me how you got caught!" Han Nuo pulled the topic back again.
"You're so boring. There are good cultivation methods that I don't want to share, if I can get married earlier, I won't be afraid of being caught again. The nun pouted.
"Alright, don't talk to me about him. Honestly, did you get arrested for eating drugged food? Han Nuo stared at the topic and didn't let go, "With your Feiyan body method, even if you are a Jindan monk, it won't be so easy to catch you, right?" ”
"You ......" Han Nuo seemed to have guessed the answer, and the female cultivator blushed instantly, tilted her head to the side and pouted.
"Hahaha, I knew you were going to die on this mouth one day." Han Nuo slapped his thigh and said with a smile.
"Go and go, you will die, your whole family will die, and the old lady will live a long life!" The nun stood up and walked towards the house that Han Nuo had arranged for her.
"Eh, wait, you haven't said what your name is!" Han Nuo didn't know why he was suddenly in such a relaxed mood.
"Jin Yu!" The nun said without replying.
