Chapter 221: Deception of the Spirit Contract
This trade fair is more like a place for communication.
For example, Wang Gongzi, who has an amazing background and power, has channel resources, and the merchants of Jing Kingdom compete to make friends with him.
"Wu Daoyou! Fang just heard that Wang Gongzi was going to recruit two guards and servants, and the monks of Liang State would be given priority, so that after arriving in Jing Kingdom, there would be people to send. ”
The purple-faced Zhuang was slightly excited.
"Oh? If so, Fang Daoyou can give it a try. ”
Lu Changan followed the words.
The purple-faced strong man was a relatively small proportion of the monks of the Liang Kingdom on the ship.
Applying for a guard servant, cultivation has a certain advantage.
If you can climb such a powerful person, you can ensure that you can reach Jing Kingdom safely, and you may have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation in the future.
"Wu Daoyou won't try?"
"Under the mediocre strength, the character is dull, and I am afraid that I will not serve the nobles well."
Lu Changan shook his head and said.
He had little interest in contracts that restricted his freedom.
During the fair, some Liang monks signed a deed of sale with the Jingguo Chamber of Commerce.
Although he was exploited by the Jing State Chamber of Commerce and sold cheap coolies, it was better than dying in the Liang State or being forcibly conscripted to the battlefield of cultivating immortals.
For example, the purple-faced strong man, as a deserter on the battlefield, was wanted by the sect, and he would definitely die if he stayed in the Liang Kingdom.
Lu Changan guessed that these chambers of commerce signed a contract, with a limit on the number of places, and they had to pay a certain price to the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, when they enter into a contract, they will try to maximize their benefits.
At the trade fair, Lu Changan noticed Miss Wei's actions.
Miss Wei has negotiated with several skilled foundation building monks.
These foundation-building monks meet the conditions of "worship" that the Crescent Chamber of Commerce just said, and they have second-order mid-to-high-grade skills.
For such skilled talents, the contract conditions given by the major chambers of commerce should be more relaxed.
This woman's actions made Lu Changan think deeply and have some associations.
……
The next afternoon, the purple-faced strong man returned to the room with a disappointed expression.
Lu Changan then learned that the purple-faced strong man failed to become Wang Gongzi's bodyguard, and he didn't even pass the primary election.
Lu Changan thought about it for a while and understood the reason.
The hunchbacked old servant beside Wang Gongzi can't see the real thing, at least he is a fake Dan real person, and his eyes are vicious.
The purple-faced strong man is murderous, as a deserter on the battlefield, his identity is not innocent, and he has no loyalty at all.
The purple-faced strong man quickly gave up his thoughts.
The next day, he joined the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, signed a deed of sale, and became the chamber's guard.
"Wu Daoyou, signing a contract with the Chamber of Commerce, although you lose your freedom for a period of time, it is better than losing your life."
After the purple-faced strong man joined the Chamber of Commerce, he tried to persuade Lu Changan.
"Besides, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the Chamber of Commerce will also provide spiritual vein dojos and food."
"Listen to Steward Jia: More than ten years ago, there was a monk of Liang Guo who performed well during the contract period and combined with the eldest lady of the Chamber of Commerce, and later became one of the principals of the Chamber of Commerce, and that day was much more nourishing than in Liang Guo!"
Lu Changan smiled and said nothing, this story may indeed have a prototype, but it is definitely an example of an example.
If you don't draw a big pie, you have no hope at all, how can the monk who signed the contract be willing to sell coolies for the chamber of commerce?
"Fang Daoyou, can the spirit contract you signed give Wu a certain view?"
Lu Changan's heart moved, and he proposed.
"Wu Daoyou, what do you mean?" The purple-faced strong man raised his eyebrows lightly and hesitated.
"There is a saying in the world, there is no treachery, no business. Wu wanted to see if there was any tricks on the signed spirit contract. ”
Lu Changan said cautiously.
The purple-faced strong man smiled and said, "Fang is not an uninformed person, and there is no problem with the content of the spirit contract. ”
After that, he took out a spirit deed scroll made of yellow leather and let Lu Changan look at it.
"Second-Order Spirit Contract...... Square Clock ...... Crescent Chamber of Commerce ......"
Lu Changan checked the format and wording, the obligations of both parties, and found nothing wrong.
Through this spiritual contract, Lu Changan knew the full name of the purple-faced strong man: Fang Zhong.
The name Fang Zhong may also be a pseudonym.
However, it does not affect the binding force of the spiritual contract.
As long as you leave your own mana imprint on the spiritual contract, it will take effect.
This kind of mana imprint has the unique aura of the monk's divine soul.
Its binding force is almost like the oath of the demons, and within a certain range, it adds the effect of mana backlash and sensing location.
Even if he escapes by luck, it is difficult to move an inch in the scope of Jing Kingdom, and he has become a wanted criminal.
This kind of second-order spirit deed, depending on the effect, each is worth one thousand to two thousand spirit stones, and is protected by the Jing State Business Alliance.
"Well, no problem."
Lu Changan nodded and returned the spirit deed scroll to Fang Zhong.
When Fang Zhong left, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Changan's mouth.
This kind of second-order spiritual deed is mainly binding on monks who are in the foundation building period and below.
If it is a fake Dan real person, signing is almost equivalent to signing in vain, and the cost of breach of contract is very small.
Lu Changan's divine sense and refining body have reached the level of a fake Dan real person, so he is naturally not afraid to sign this spiritual contract.
In addition, the mana aura simulated by his Hundred Illusion Mask can even try to deceive the spirit contract.
After all, it's only a second-order spirit contract, and there are loopholes to drill.
Lu Changan made up his mind, found a chamber of commerce that was easy to talk to, and signed a spiritual contract.
……
After a few days of private contact, Lu Changan found a relatively suitable target.
A guest room on the second floor of the Spirit Ship.
"Wu Daoyou claims to be a second-order Dan master, whether he can open the furnace for alchemy, verify one or two."
On the main seat, a handsome boy dressed in Ayara and wearing a jade crown said bluntly.
The handsome boy is the representative of the "Wufu Chamber of Commerce", and the accompanying monks of the Chamber of Commerce call him Xia Gongzi.
"Wu is not talented, refining a furnace of second-order elixir that is faster than becoming a pill."
Lu Changan couldn't let the other party ask questions, mainly because he, a second-order Dan master, was more watery.
The reason why the skills of the talismans and puppets are not revealed is because they are worried about the leakage of their identities.
The ancient ruins, the hidden danger of killing the monks of the Jinyang Sect, are still unknown.
This time to go to Jingguo, life is not familiar, it is better to take it leisurely.
In the Liang State Immortal Cultivation Realm, the outside world only knows that Lu Changan is a talisman master. Only close monks knew that he had also mastered the art of puppetry.
As for the attainments of the second-order Dan Master, no one in the outside world knows.
"Young Master Xia, please take a look."
A few days later, Lu Changan successfully opened the furnace and refined three second-order lower grade Hui Yuan Dan.
After Xia Gongzi checked the quality of the pill, his face was expressionless.
He handed the pill to the bearded old man beside him.
The old man carefully identified the elixir, sniffed it with his nose, and frowned slightly.
"Childe, Wu Fan is indeed a second-order low-grade Dan Master, but his techniques are relatively mediocre, I'm afraid he doesn't have any special skills."
The eight-character old man Hu built the foundation and cultivated in the later stage, and passed the word to Xia Gongzi.
"After all, it is a second-order Dan Master, which is beneficial to the clan and the Chamber of Commerce. No matter how advanced this person's skills are, he will not be able to take the turn of our Wufu Chamber of Commerce. ”
Xia Gongzi sighed secretly and said.
After determining Lu Changan's skills.
Xia Gongzi asked some more questions, knocking on the side, testing Lu Changan's details.
The monk of Liang Guo who signed the contract, the Chamber of Commerce had to guarantee his identity.
In case of encountering an enemy country, or an extremely evil person, who commits a crime in the territory of Jing State, the chamber of commerce that guarantees it will also bear joint and several liability.
"Young Master Xia, is the twenty-year contract too long?"
Lu Changan was not very satisfied.
Xia Gongzi explained: "The monks of your country who signed the contract on the spirit ship basically started from twenty years, and this cannot be changed. ”
"What's more, we provide Wu Daoyou with a second-order spiritual vein dojo with a beautiful environment, the basic spirit stones and resources needed for cultivation, including the service ...... of the beautiful concubine and servant."
"The number of alchemy pills per year will be reduced by three percent. The excess amount shall be subject to normal remuneration. ”
Lu Chang'an's symbolic bargaining.
Xia Gongzi discussed with the old man with the eight-character beard for a while, and finally agreed to Lu Changan's request.
Lu Changan secretly thought, although this condition is not as good as the offering, it can be regarded as a reasonable range of employment relationship.
The only criticism is that the basic remuneration is low and the tenure is relatively long.
However, the Wufu Chamber of Commerce signed a monk, which required a guarantee, and had to pay a sum of spirit stones to the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce.
Purchasing the second-order spirit contract of the merchant alliance is also an expense.
Therefore, the conditions of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce are relatively relaxed in the Chamber of Commerce negotiated by Lu Chang'an.
Of course, this is due to the fact that the Wufu Chamber of Commerce is not strong, and there is a demand for second-order Dan masters.
In contrast, other large chambers of commerce have more stringent conditions.
……
A quarter of an hour later.
Lu Changan and the Chamber of Commerce represented by Xia Gongzi signed a second-order spirit contract.
The constraints of the spirit contract, such as the one of the clock, are much more relaxed.
Lu Changan used the "Hundred Illusion Mask" to simulate the mana aura of others, leaving an imprint on the second-order spirit contract.
In this way, when he arrives at the Jing Kingdom Immortal Cultivation Realm, whether or not he fulfills his contractual obligations depends on Lu Changan's mood.
"Young Master Xia, Wu is now an external monk signed by your Chamber of Commerce, can you ensure that you can arrive in Jing Kingdom safely?"
Lu Changan asked.
"As long as you don't encounter the Demon Sect, this Chamber of Commerce can ensure that you arrive in Jing Kingdom safely. When entering the territory of the country, the last identity check is there, and there is a spiritual deed, which can be easily passed. ”
Xia Gongzi's tone was much softer, and he replied patiently.
"Dare to ask, what is the possibility of encountering the Demon Sect?"
Lu Changan had inquired on the ship before, and encountering the Demon Sect was the biggest threat.
The Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce has more energy and can break the fortune and avoid disasters.
"It's about a 12 in 10 chance."
Xia Gongzi was very calm.
"If you are unlucky, don't panic. As long as it's not a hostile target for the Demon Cult to kill, pay the ransom. ”
"Twelve out of ten?"
Lu Changan thought of the Wei girl on the spirit ship, and felt that this possibility was more than doubled.
……
Unconsciously, the spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce flew for a month in the barren land between the two countries.
We're halfway there.
Lu Chang'an was reassured: there was less than half of the journey left, and even if he encountered any accidents, he had to go to Jingguo alone, and the pressure was much less.
Because, this area towards Jing Country is less affected by the Immortal Cultivation War, and the risk is not as great as that of Liang Kingdom.
"Wu Daoyou, you actually joined the 'Wufu Chamber of Commerce'?"
"The situation of this chamber of commerce is not optimistic, and the industry under its business name has been suppressed by the 'Crescent Chamber of Commerce', and it has lost money one after another in recent years, and it is almost impossible to sustain it."
Fang Zhong didn't know where to get the news, and felt that Lu Changan's choice was not worth it.
He originally invited Lu Changan to join the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, but the latter did not agree, but joined the weaker Wufu Chamber of Commerce.
Lu Changan only knew at this time that the real inside story of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce was actually the opposite relationship with the Crescent Chamber of Commerce?
Lu Changan chose the Wufu Chamber of Commerce because he felt that the Chamber of Commerce was easier to talk and the conditions were more relaxed, nothing more.
Crescent Chamber of Commerce, even if the conditions are not harsh, Lu Changan does not want to join.
Because, his ticket was obtained by Li Congren from the channel of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.
If Lu Changan joins the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, the latter will most likely investigate his situation. If the investigation is very deep, there is a certain chance that he will be associated with his identity.
"Wu Daoyou, I would like to give you a drink! No matter what the future holds, before landing in Jingguo, Fang recognizes you as a friend. ”
Fang Zhong drank all the spirit wine, his tone was bold, and his face was flushed with purple wine.
Lu Changan heard the meaning of the words, smiled and toasted.
Meanwhile.
On the deck of the head of the Spirit.
A graceful golden-robed young man and a long-haired woman with a tulle covering her face stood side by side, overlooking the sea of clouds below.
"Prince Wang, there are still ten days to reach Jing Kingdom. Do you think the monks of the Demon Cult will rob and kill? ”
Miss Wei stirred her sideburns, her dark eyes, smooth forehead, and beautiful nose were dimly visible under the veil, outlining her cold and three-dimensional facial features.
"Miss Wei, don't worry."
Wang Gongzi was calm and calm, and his tone was sonorous:
"With Ben Gongzi here, even if the Demon Sect monk comes, what's the matter?"
Disheveled!
A dull loud sound that shook the mountains came from the distant sky.
Wang Gongzi's heart trembled fiercely, his face turned pale instantly, and he felt a sense of panic.
At this moment, the monks on the entire spirit ship were impetuous, and their ears were ringing.
"Not good!"
Not far away, the hunchbacked old man who closed his eyes and recuperated suddenly changed his complexion.
Swish!
He got up quickly, and together with the beautiful girl next door, escorted Wang Gongzi back to the first-class room.
"Ah......h
Miss Wei covered her face with her hands, looking panicked.
No one noticed that the corners of her lips under her veil were hooked up with a touch of sarcasm.
……
In the guest room on the first floor, Lu Changan and Fang Zhong were also alarmed.
"What sound?"
Fang Zhong ran out of the room restlessly, looking into the distance.
"Third-Order Great Demon? With a strong demonic aura? ”
Lu Changan closed his eyes and couldn't help but be moved.
Airplanes!
The spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce, the formation is fully open, slow down, and maintain order in the spirit ship.
Moo~
Six or seven miles away in the sky, the black wind monster fog roared, and a terrifying roar was heard.
The cultivators used spiritual eye spells to look at their eyes and probe, and their hearts were beating.
At the place of the incident, there was a huge bull as black as iron, as high as a tower, with hooves like giant pillars, stepping on the black wind and flames, flying sand and stones and sweeping for a mile or two.
Rumble! Click!
Under its four hooves, a chamber of commerce spirit ship of more than thirty feet, the hull of the ship cracked, and there was an overwhelming tearing sound.
Inside the spirit ship, the black wind and flames were rolling, and bursts of mournful wails were gradually swallowed up.
"Black Wind Bull! The holy beast of the Xuanyin Demon Sect! ”
On the spirit ship, some knowledgeable chamber of commerce monks were pale and their voices trembled.
Black Wind Bull, the upstream bloodline of the earth, like King Kong, infinite strength, good at Black Wind Demon Arts, extremely lethal.
In the vicinity of the Black Wind Bull, there were two groups of monks in dark robes, slaughtering the wounded monks who had escaped from the spirit ship.
"Xiang Jinglong! If you join the Demon Sect and help the abuse, the Liang State Sect will sooner or later slash you. ”
A green-shirted beauty with a fake Dan cultivation, blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, her body was dim, her skirt was scorched, and she fell to the ground weakly.
"Phew! Old lady, when you hunted down a certain family, how majestic was it? ”
Xiang Jinglong, who had a wheat complexion, was dressed in a gilded robe, trampling on this fake Dan nun from the Fire Palace from top to bottom.
The green-shirted beauty had her ribs shattered, and said miserably: "Xiang Jinglong...... Killing the descendants of the elders...... You can't escape the catastrophe......"
"What elders, you can make it clear?"
Xiang Jinglong's face sank, and his eyes were gloomy.
Back then, he committed a crime in Mojiafang City, suspected of leaking his identity, a trivial matter, and insufficient evidence, and then inexplicably became wanted by the Fire Palace.
Over the years, he has gained a foothold in the Demon Cult and tried to investigate the cause, but found no clues.
At this moment, listening to the words of the beautiful woman in the green shirt, he faintly touched the truth.
Xiang Jinglong picked up the green-shirted beauty and wanted to ask.
It turned out that the woman had become a slightly warm corpse.
In order to prevent humiliation and torture, the other party used the last trace of mana left to destroy his heart and die.
"Bad luck!"
A haze appeared on Xiang Jinglong's face, and his gaze set on the spirit ship that was twice as large as the sky several miles away.
"Xiang Zhenren is the spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce."
The middle-aged leader of the other team of dark-robed monks showed a tacit smile.
……
The spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce was on standby, trying to bypass the place of the incident.
However, the spirit ship was huge in size, and its speed was far inferior to that of the False Dan Monk, nor was it as fast as the small spirit boat of the same grade.
Moo~
The Black Wind Bull of the third-order demon was so fast, and it chased after him in a dozen breaths.
Xiang Jinglong and another Demon Sect Fake Pill led two teams of monks to outflank them together.
With Lu Changan's rich experience in running away, it is not advisable to act rashly at this time, otherwise it may attract the attention of the third-order great demon and the Demon Sect False Pill.
Anyway, on the spirit ship, there are two or three fake pills either openly or secretly.
When the attention of important people is drawn and the situation is chaotic, it is the best time.
Besides, as long as Miss Nawei is on the spirit ship, Lu Changan doesn't have to worry about his safety for the time being.
The other monks on the spirit ship were in a panic.
They are not like Lu Changan, who has more insight into the inside story.
There is only one fake Dan real person on the face of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce.
It's the middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt who sits in the town.
"Xiang Zhenren, we are serious businessmen in Jingguo, and we don't pay less for the toll every time. Can you ...... this time?"
The middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt greeted him with a smile.
Glancing at the Black Wind Bull who cast a huge shadow above his head, his eyelids jumped.
"Nonsense minority, let go of the formation! A certain family only arrests suspicious monks from the Liang State Sect! ”
Xiang Jinglong said impatiently.
The middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt smiled bitterly, exchanged a few words with the stewards of several large chambers of commerce, and finally ordered to open the formation of the spirit ship.
"Everyone stays in the spirit ship, and those who dare to come out will be killed!"
Xiang Jinglong and the middle-aged Fake Dan boarded the ship from the front and back of the spirit ship respectively, and inspected the rooms one by one.
This search was much stricter than that of the Liang State Sect.
Whether it is an ordinary room or a first-class room, every corner, without exception.
The third-order demon Black Wind Brute Bull wandered in the sky, and the terrifying and cold Black Wind Demon Power made all the cultivators feel suffocated.
The two fake Dan real people of the Demon Sect monitored the inspection of each room throughout the process.
