In the western part of Nanbu Island, a majestic city stands at the foot of Qishan Mountain.

The city is surrounded by a dry river, and all the houses and buildings around it are made of boulders and earth blocks, and the gates are made of huge wood and bronze, which looks quite thick and sturdy.

This Xiongcheng is the territory of the Zhou people, called Xiqi City.

There is a square in the city, with a tall and magnificent temple in the center, and the murals inside depict the life and history of the ancestors.

This is an ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of the Zhou people.

In the eyes of the Zhou people, today's stable and peaceful life is inseparable from the blessing of their ancestors.

It is the peak of incense in the ancestral hall, and every day of sacrifice is crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder.

On the square in front of the ancestral hall, an ordinary middle-aged man in a coarse cloth green robe walked quietly through the crowd, watching everything in this city with cold eyes.

The one he observed the most was a young man named Ji Chang.

From early childhood all the way to the present.

This is also the only reason to support him to stay in Xiqi.

Because this Ji Chang has shown unique talents and characteristics since he was a child.

He has a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge about the world, often asking surprising questions at a very young age, while also being able to quickly understand the world in his own way.

And he is very good at observation and analysis, even if he can accurately capture the essence and laws behind things.

As the son of the patriarch of the Zhou clan, Ji Chang helped his father Ji Li analyze the situation of the Zhou clan as early as the age of ten, and suggested that the clan should expand Xiqi City, and train soldiers and horses diligently, strengthen the city defense, prepare military affairs and grain and grass, and always guard against the attack of the surrounding Rongdi tribes.

Ji Li originally got the position of patriarch because of this son, and although he was surprised by his proposal, he did it all.

Sure enough, less than two months after the completion of the expansion of Xiqi City, the Western Inurong tribe invaded Xiqi on a large scale.

Fortunately, Xiqi City had enough food and fought a big victory relying on the defense of the city wall.

Later, Ji Li pursued the victory at the suggestion of Ji Chang, and directly hit the royal tent of the Dog Rong tribe, and hit the Dog Rong tribe in one fell swoop.

After this battle, the vitality of the dog Rong was greatly damaged, and the Zhou clan became famous, attracting many small tribes around to vote, so that the territory under the control of the Zhou clan was once again expanded.

After that, Ji Li tasted the sweetness, and after years of hard work, and launched a series of wars against the Rongdi and other departments around the Zhou State, all of which achieved brilliant victories.

At that time, the Zhou people were only a small prince in the border of the Great Shang, but after continuous expansion, they had become a huge property in the western part of the Great Shang.

"The rapid rise of Xiqi has attracted the attention of the Great Shang Dynasty, and the will to reward the Song of the Dynasty will soon be delivered to Xiqi.

In order to curb the power of the Zhou people, the Shang king probably named him "Bohou" in name, as the chief of the Western princes, but in fact imprisoned him in Chaoge. ”

An old man with a white beard and a ruddy face, holding a cane, walked slowly and leisurely to the man in the green robe, and said with a smile:

"Those sectarian disciples who are officials in Dashang can't guess that it is not Ji Li who really changed the Zhou clan, but his son Ji Chang!

But that's a good thing for us.

Presumably, it won't be long before Senior Brother Xuandu will see Ji Chang take over Xiqi and eventually replace the decaying big businessman. ”

The old man looked kind and amiable, but his tone was very big, as if the fate of the big merchant was in his hands, and he was at his disposal.

The Xuandu Archmage turned his head to look at the old man, and then turned his head away, noncommittal to his words, but his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he thought.

In the end, he shook his head and said, "I'll go back to Daluo Mountain, and the senior brother of Antarctica will do his own thing", and then disappeared without a trace.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother!"

The Antarctic immortal Weng solemnly bowed.

His movements were loud and his voice was loud, but the people around him seemed to be out of sight.

Only a young man crouching on the ground, writing on the sand with a branch, frowned slightly, and looked around as if he had a sense of it.

The Antarctic Immortal Weng immediately noticed his abnormality, nodded with satisfaction, and said secretly: "It is worthy of being the son of destiny who came by the phoenix, and with the body of a mortal, he can actually detect my mana fluctuations.

Ji Chang looked around privately for a while, and after finding nothing, he looked down at the ground again.

At this time, he had already drawn a lot of patterns and symbols on the ground with branches, which looked quite messy and cumbersome, but he could vaguely see that there was a gossip pattern in the middle......

……

Daluo Mountain is located in the northwest of Nanganbu Continent, which is not very far from Qishan.

Xuandu rode an auspicious cloud and soon returned to Daluo Mountain.

When I came to the Eight Views Palace, I saw two children coming out from afar, bowing respectfully, and showing joy on their faces.

"Senior brother, you are really back, and the master asked us to come out to greet you just now."

"The master is now refining in the Danfang, so you can go directly after you come back."

Xuandu bowed slightly, and walked quickly to the Danfang along the aroma of pills in the air.

Soon, he came to an elegant treasure hall in the Eight Views Palace, bowed down and saluted: "The disciple has something important to ask to see the teacher!" ”

As soon as the words fell, an old, gentle voice came out.

"Didn't you say you would come in directly?"

"Yes, the disciple will come in."

Xuandu said as he pushed open the door of the Danfang.

A faint fragrance came to the face, and the Dan Qi in the hall was permeated, surrounded by purple and red wooden shelves, which were full of gourds, net bottles and other containers, and there seemed to be something in it exuding a faint light.

These containers were filled with all sorts of elixirs.

Some pills can boost mana, and eating one is worth 10,000 years of penance; Some pills can cure diseases and eliminate disasters, and if you eat a pill, you will have no pain, and it is okay to have a broken limb or something; There are also pills that can prolong life, and eating one can even soar in the day and live forever......

In the center of the main hall, there is a Bagua Dan furnace as high as three zhang six feet and five inches, and on the futon not far from the Dan furnace sits an old man with white hair, wearing a Taiqing fishtail crown, wearing a yin and yang gossip robe, holding a banana fan and gently fanning the fire, there is no joy or sadness on the face, and there is indifference and casualness from the inside out.

"Disciple meets Master!"

Xuandu respectfully bowed to the old way.

The Taiqing Sage bowed slightly, looked at him and asked, "What have you seen on this trip?" ”

Xuandu unreservedly recounted what he saw and heard when he traveled through the flood wilderness, especially about the contrast between the two places of Linzhuanguan and Xiqi.

The Taiqing Sage glanced at his apprentice with some surprise, "Lin Lianguan was made by that Yu Yuan?" ”

"Exactly."

Xuandu Zhengse said: "According to the disciple's opinion, the Linzhuan Pass should be the interception of the sect knowing that the change of dynasty is inevitable, and it is to send disciples to support Linzhuanguan in advance, so as to replace it with a big merchant in the future." ”

The Taiqing sage bowed slightly, looked at Xuandu and said, "Listening to your tone, you are very optimistic that Linzhuanguan can succeed." ”

"Not bad!"

Xuandu didn't hide it, and said: "It's not so much that I'm optimistic about it, it's better that the disciples are looking forward to seeing Linzhuanguan replace Dashang."

In this way, the model of Linzhuanguan can be promoted to the entire Southern Ganbu Continent, and even the entire flood famine, so that the human race will be even stronger......"

Before he could finish speaking, the Taiqing Sage asked lightly, "If the human race continues to grow endlessly, how should the other creatures deal with themselves?" ”

"Huh?"

Xuandu was slightly stunned for a moment, and looked at the Taiqing sage: "The disciple doesn't understand what the teacher means, and asks the teacher to make it clear." ”

Taiqing sage said: "When the human race was not civilized, it was bullied by the flood and famine, and it was once reduced to food, and I couldn't bear it, and I once taught the human race in Shouyang Mountain, and then helped the human race to prove the eternal protagonist."

However, after the development and growth of the human race, it blindly squeezed the living space of other creatures, and other creatures could only migrate to areas that could not be reached by the human race unless they became slaves of the human race.

This is not what I want to see. ”

Xuandu was even more dazed, and whispered with some puzzlement: "Isn't the teacher setting up people to teach, just to educate the human race?" At present, the sect has also embarked on the road of educating the human race in Linzhuanguan, why is the teacher not happy? ”

"You're wrong."

The Taiqing Sage shook his head, looked at Xuandu and said word by word: "I set up a human sect in order to educate the beings of the Three Realms!" My 'people' are not their 'people'!

The Terrans should not develop too fast, as that would intercept the opportunities of other creatures and not be able to develop together.

This is the way of interception, not the way of others! ”

"This ......"

Xuandu's eyes widened, and he looked at the Taiqing Sage in disbelief, and for a while he couldn't think of how to refute this teacher.
