Chapter 2: The Monastery

Jiye Town, looking at the big white sea in the east, Lianheng Mountain in the west, 30 miles away from the mountain and sea gate, is famous for the treasures of the mountains and seas, and is one of the top ten famous towns in Xichen.

Due to the unique advantages, it has attracted many forces to work hard here, and also attracted merchants from the south to the north to come here to shop for some rare goods.

Shanhaimen has a stronghold here, and the Juyi teahouse in the downtown is one of them, and today a black-clothed man with a round face and medium stature drank tea here in the morning, and his expression was quite calm.

When Qiu Yue appeared in front of the teahouse, the man in black got up and came out.

"Seventh Senior Sister, have you dealt with it over there?"

It is the fourth senior brother Hu Ming, a very stable and shrewd person.

"Alright." Qiu Yue nodded.

Hu Ming nodded and said, "That's good, it's still a somewhat famous shop called Shanming Lou that is causing trouble." ”

This teahouse is located in the center of Jiye Town, the first-class shop in Jiye Town, the day into the gold, many people are hot on this tea shop, secretly do their business, from time to time it is rumored that it is going to go out of business, but it has been shaky and has survived until now.

"Let's go to the monastery first." Hu Mingdao.

The monastic society is an organization initiated by several major monastic sects in Xichen and participated by almost all officially recognized monastic sects, and is responsible for maintaining the order of the industry.

Because of its status, there are few people who dare to oppose it on the surface, and there are very few who bypass the monastic order, and it is a very powerful authority.

"Senior brother, have you thought about it, what do you say?"

"Well, I'll talk about it then, and my junior sister can add it." Hu Ming nodded.

The headquarters of the monastery is located in the capital city of Xijing, and there are points in important places throughout the country, which are divided into one to five levels according to their importance, and a five-level point is set up in the town of Jino.

The monastic gathering place is set in a quiet place, a two-story small building with a courtyard, and the granite finish on the outside looks dignified and elegant.

The two men were received by a short, middle-aged man with a black face, who was the head of the order's external affairs.

"Oh, it's a fellow Daoist of Shanhaimen? What's the matter? The principal's attitude seemed to be peaceful, but Qiu Yue saw a faint flash of disdain and disgust in the depths of his eyes.

Shanhaimen is one of the few sects that has not yet obtained official documents, and Zao Wou-Ki has applied for a long time, but it has not been approved, so it is actually the Pheasant Mountain Gate, and the Pheasant Sect is despised This is also a helpless thing.

On the scale of Shanhaimen, it is relatively small in the monastic world, but many smaller ones have also been incorporated into the official system.

There are many reasons why it was not included, on the one hand, Zao Wou-Ki's personality was negligent; On the other hand, he has been a Jiupin Qi practitioner for more than 20 years, and he has not been promoted to a real person, he is not a big person, the so-called cultivation is not true, and it is a vain in the end, many people have pinched their fingers to calculate how many years he can live, coveting the wealth accumulated by Shanhaimen.

Hu Ming was prepared and told the matter concisely.

The black-faced principal lowered his head and coughed lightly, and said: "Two, this sounds really regrettable, Shan Minglou really shouldn't do things like this, I sympathize with your family, but the two of you should also know that Jiye Town includes merchants from the north and south, and there will be a lot of such things every day, so at the critical moment, the sale should pay attention to the authenticity, and the purchase should also be true and false. ”

The black-faced principal looked sincere, but his tone implied a hint of contempt and coldness.

He was just a third-grade qi practitioner, and he didn't have the slightest sense of awe in the face of Qiu Yue, a fourth-grade cultivator, and Hu Ming, an even more powerful fifth-grade qi practitioner.

This is the advantage of a large temple gate, and the prime minister's office is also a head taller than ordinary people.

Hu Ming smiled and said: "I understand, it's our own negligence, so we just thought that your club would come to prepare the case, and we will do the specific things ourselves." ”

"Huh? What do you want to do? ”

"Naturally, there is a way." Hu Ming smiled.

"Huh? Do not break ye the laws of the Kingdom! The black-faced master frowned.

Hu Ming smiled: "No, no, that dare to cause trouble to adults." ”

The black-faced master fell into a brief contemplation.

"In this way, I will discuss with Shan Minglou and let them compensate you tenfold, and according to the rules of the industry, how about a penalty of ten?"

The monastic society is responsible for the management of the industry, and the Jiye Point has set up a list of major figures in the region, especially possible troublesome people for a long time, and Zao Wou-Ki is one of them.

The black-faced principal was a little jealous, jealous of Zao Wou-ki, because something really happened, and he also faced severe punishment from the top.

Zhao Wuji is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he, a nine-grade qi refiner, was born in casual cultivation, it is said that he is still a scattered cultivator in the Chaotic Star Sea, and the scattered cultivation lacks the support of the family sect, and the cultivation relies on himself to obtain resources, and the means and temperament are very powerful, and he can survive in the chaotic star sea, it is the best in the scattered cultivation, and what is even more incredible is that he has not only lived until now, but also set up a sect in Xichen in a decent manner, which is not simple, and the difficulty of becoming a sect is known in the cultivation world.

The outside world speculates that although the longevity is short, it is not a sure thing, because the link from the ninth grade to the realization in the cultivation stage is too special.

After the monk refines the qi to the ninth grade, the breakthrough of the nine grades is to come true, this link is difficult not to say, after the breakthrough, there is a condensation link, called condensation qi come true, although the spirit is formed within a year, but it is still liquid, and it takes a year to nourish to form a solid spirit grid.

And the liquid Lingge is a monk's best product for prolonging life, generally after refining to increase the number of years of life for two or three years, if combined with the clever refining means, it is said to increase the number of years of life, so that the liquid Lingge has become the best treasure in the cultivation world, who doesn't want to live a few more years, especially those who are old and have a very high realm.

In this way, the Qi Refiners who broke through to the real person were extremely dangerous in their first year, and they became one of the best and most valuable prey; In order to survive, the liquid Lingge monks will use all kinds of methods, some hide in the deep mountains and Daze to cultivate, some ask friends to protect the Dharma, and of course, some families come forward to protect them.

At this stage, every monk remained as mysterious as Zao Wou-Ki and refused to divulge easily.

Who knows what state Zao Wou-Ki is, maybe, in case, if he breaks through and happens to be true, it will be ugly to come out in that year, and the real people are big shots wherever they are.

Now Hu Ming smiled and shook his head, it is indeed very fair in business to pay ten for one, but the master of the door will not think it is fair.

Zao Wou-Ki generally doesn't say things too clearly, it depends on the disciples to guess, there is a prize for guessing correctly, and the punishment for guessing wrong is serious, and the disciples of the seven major lineages can generally guess eight or nine without leaving ten. This is one of the reasons why they can become disciples of the Seven Great Descendants, and stupid people have no chance in Shanhaimen.

"And what do you think?" The black-faced supervisor whispered.

"Forget it, it's boring for you to say it!" Hu Ming shook his head and said.

"It's not about doing it, it's always okay to talk about it, and ask Taoist friends to teach you!" The black-faced main pipe.

Hu Ming thought for a while, then shook his head and smiled: "Hey, forget it, it's not easy for you to do this, it's useless to talk more!" ”

"Say, talk, talk is always right, don't you look down on me? It doesn't matter if you look down on me, you don't look down on the monastics, right? ”

The fellows of the monastery think very highly of themselves, but they are all clever people, and in order to keep their jobs, they can bend and stretch, and they can also speak and take people.

"Then, how dare you, okay, I said," Hu Ming hurriedly said.

"My Shanhaimen is a famous and decent family in the Taoist world, Shanminglou is a secular shop, and bullying Xianmen first, as Your Excellency said, buying and selling is a matter of both parties, both parties are responsible, the master of my door has done a punishment, give two people to death, my lord, my Shanhaimen is always more important to Xichen than a mere worldly teahouse, the status is higher, according to the rules of the kingdom, they should always pay more, so how do you see how this matter ends?" Hu Ming said lightly.
