Chapter 8 Yamagata Water Potential
Thousands of streams and ravines converge into the vast Qingjiang River in the southeast of the Tiandu Mountains, meandering to the southeast.
Going down the river, zigzag for fifty or sixty thousand miles, converging into the Xize Sea, and entering the realm of the Middle Domain.
After receiving the edict from Cetianfu, Chen Xun needed to rush to Xuanjing to perform his duties within half a year if he had no other reason.
From Wushan to Xuanjing, tens of thousands of miles, Chen Xun's flight in the sky is only ten days and half a month's journey.
Chen Xun set off from Wushan early, and first rushed to Tiandu Mountain, where the Xuandu Sect Mountain Gate was located, and secretly discussed with Chu Yuezhen, the elder of the Xuandu Sect, the supply of equipment such as Qingyan Lotus Arrows and Xuanlei Chariots.
In the Battle of the Thousand Demon Sand Sea, after the Blue Flame Lotus Arrow shined, many refining sects in Yunzhou, including Cetianfu, have newly created many arrow magic weapons such as Tianyan Thunder Arrow and Divine Sword Burst Flame Arrow, the power is not even below the Blue Flame Lotus Arrow, but the refining method is much more complex than the Green Flame Lotus Arrow, and it is difficult to produce it in large quantities.
The refining of the Green Flame Lotus Arrow is much simpler, first by ordinary craftsmen casting billet arrows in large quantities, and then by the disciples of Kui Long Pavilion to inject the Green Flame Lotus Fire into the billet arrow.
It's just that in the later stage, Cetianfu and the Northwest Domain Protectorate began to strictly control the flow of Nine Shades of Iron, which greatly increased the cost of billet arrow casting, and it was not something that Kuilong Pavilion could afford for a while.
Over the years, more than 500 mines have been opened, but the output of Jiuyou Iron is extremely limited, and it can only smelt less than 200,000 catties of Jiuyou Iron every year.
The northern region controlled by the Xuandu Sect, although it is a cold place, and the output of elixir is not high, but the area is extremely broad, dozens of times that of Canglan, and it is rich in gold and iron, and over the years, it has deliberately expanded the output of Jiuyou Iron, and every year, there are almost six or seven hundred thousand catties of Jiuyou Iron secretly imported into Canglan, exchanging chariots and magic circles.
Although the Xuandu Sect had always hoped to obtain a large number of Blue Flame Lotus Arrows, the four sects and the Canglan Marquis Mansion had been under great pressure to prepare for the war, and the Blue Flame Lotus Arrows they had refined could only be exported in small quantities.
The Demon Ruin Pass has now been completely destroyed, and the millions of demon clans entrenched in the Black Yin Mountains of the Northern Regions have naturally become the biggest threat to the sects of the Northern Regions and the Northwest Regions, and the Blue Flame Lotus Arrow and Xuanlei Chariot produced by the Kuilong Pavilion will greatly expand the supply to the Xuandu Sect and other Northern Regions sects in the future.
Chen Xun stayed in Tiandu Mountain for three days and failed to meet the face of the Xuandu Sect's head Yang Kun Zhenren.
Xuandu Sect Elder Ku'an Zhenjun suffered a heavy blow in the battle of Laolongtan, and he failed to fully recover his cultivation after forty years of retreat, and Chen Xun was inconvenient to disturb.
After negotiating with Chu Yuezhen on the terms of exchanging 20,000 Qingyan Lotus Arrows for one million catties of Nine Youtie Iron every year, he went directly to Jiangcheng at the foot of Tiandu Mountain, took a river boat, went south along the Qingjiang River, and rushed to Xuanjing to take up his post.
In autumn and winter, the flood has receded, and the banks are covered with wild persimmon trees, and the autumn frost dyes the leaves into golden red, as if a large cloud has stopped on the cliffs and mountains on both sides of the Qingjiang River.
This river boat is more than 20 zhang long, and it is an extremely rare big ship in Qingjiang, and the bottom bilge is full of products near Tiandu Mountain, which is intended to be transported to the counties of the Central Region to be sold and sold.
There are also three decks of cabins on the deck, and this time there are more than a dozen people on a business trip like Chen Xun who is surrounded by his family and servants.
The owner of the boat, Zhou Chuan, is an outer disciple of the Xuandu Sect, although he has only cultivated in the middle of the fetal realm, but the boatmen under his hands are all strong and strong, and most of them have the foundation of the middle and late stages of the True Yang Realm.
Chen Xun took black tea, Beixuanjia, Chihai, and snake Wuxin, pretending to be the children of official eunuchs who traveled the world to take the river boat south, and had nothing to do on the boat, sitting leisurely on the stern deck every day, poking out the side of the boat with a green bamboo, and hanging the hook into the turbulent river water to catch river fish.
"Childe, you look at the mountains and water on both sides of the strait every day, can you really understand the avenue?"
Black Tea lay on the side of the boat, looking at the turbulent river at the stern of the boat, but her delicate face was an innocent and curious mold, and she turned her head and asked Chen Xun.
"There is a true intention here, and I have forgotten to argue. Chen Xun snorted and said.
"Childe doesn't want to sue sù black tea, just don't say it. Black Tea pouted, straightened up, and was about to go back to the cabin.
Chen Xun laughed, looking at the black tea hair combed in a bun, wearing a goose yellow skirt, with colorful silk threads tied around her waist, and a slender body, she was completely a childish and cute beautiful girl, where could you see that she had a little demonic aura on her?
Chen Xun summoned Zuo Qingmu, Zhou Yang, Su Shousi, and Hu Taiyan to deduce the Lingchi Formation in Wushan, and it took eight years to achieve something;
Ah Qing and Firefox had too shallow foundations, and they continued to stay in Wushan to cultivate.
Black Tea, Snake Wuxin, Golden Wolf, and Chihai have achieved a little success in cultivating the Heavenly Demon Refining Technique, and they are already at the stage of refining Yang and transforming into shape.
Every day, when the Yang Qi is getting stronger, they can all transform into human form, but at night, when the Xuanyin Qi is getting stronger, they will change back to their original form.
According to the difference in mental maturity, when black tea transforms into a human form, he is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he is dressed as Chen Xun's maid when he goes out of the cabin on weekdays.
The golden wolf turned into a yellow-faced young man with sharp eyes, Chihai turned into a thin-faced young man with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks, and Snake Wuxin was like a dull middle-aged man, all dressed as Chen Xun's companions.
The Northern Xuanjia is refined by the Hongmeng Yuan Breath and the Immortal Yuan Breath in the Void Yuan Pearl, and the root bones are not slightly worse than the black tea and the snake Wuxin, and more importantly, the Northern Xuanjia Divine Soul is transformed by the immortal soul, and the comprehension is extremely high, and the cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Refining Form Technique has reached the realm of Dacheng.
Except for the night of the full moon and when the power of Taiyin is at its peak, it will change back to its original form, and the Northern Xuanjia can already cultivate with a human body.
Bei Xuanjia's transformed human body, eight feet tall, handsome, dignified, wearing armor, carrying a long knife at his waist, holding a halberd, dressed as Chen Xun's guard, but the momentum revealed is like a mountain, not like a follower at all.
Chen Xun's enlightenment of the Dao is too complicated, there are hidden signs of going mad, and the higher level of the Great Dao realm is not so easy to enter, at this time, he has to slow down the pace of cultivation as much as possible, send his affection to the landscape, think about the enlightenment and truth-seeking from the mountain-shaped water potential, and find a unified method of many complex Dao meanings.
The river boat goes down the water, and even if it can travel thousands of miles a day, I don't know when I will be able to reach Xuanjing.
Chen Xun is leisurely on the boat, and regards the lonely and light journey as part of his practice.
After Ah Jin and Chi Hai transformed into human forms, they saw the world with a new vision, and they were full of curiosity about Yiqiē, but every day after nightfall, they turned back to their original form, and they were somewhat miserable.
The Void Yuan Spirit Land is making a spine with the bones of a mirage, which is extremely unstable, and it is necessary to introduce a large amount of spiritual energy from the outside spiritual veins in order to maintain the balance of the spiritual energy in the beads, and it is impossible to carry it with him.
Black tea they turned back to their original form at night, the small cabin could not hold their huge demon bodies, and there was no Void Yuan Bead to lodge, so they could only squeeze into the Purple Night Thunder Tower at night to shelter.
The Purple Night Thunder Tower is six zhang high, divided into seven layers, each layer is less than one zhang high, the red sea, the golden wolf demon body is three or four zhang high, and every night can only shrink the bones and squeeze into the Purple Night Thunder Tower to suffer.
The black tea was restored to its original form, and the demon body was only five or six feet tall, and it could barely stay in the cabin for the night.
The snake unintentionally turned into its original form, it was the body of a spirit fox, only slightly taller than Chen Xun and Bei Xuanjia, and it was even more impedimentary to stay in the cabin.
Therefore, Chihai and the Golden Wolf had great opinions about traveling by boat, but they didn't know that Chen Xun wanted to use this to polish their demonic nature.
Chen Xunzheng wanted to compare the number of techniques that black tea had learned in the past few days, and his heart fluttered slightly, and when he heard the shipowner Zhou Chuan walking towards the aft deck, he turned around and looked at it quietly.
Zhou Chuan glanced at the black tea first, thinking that this girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she had such a beautiful appearance, and she would grow up in two or three years, so what would she do?
"Chen Gongzi, there is half a day to go to the Xize Sea, there is a water eye in the depths of the Xize Sea, which communicates with countless dark rivers underground, and sometimes there are demon fish and beasts entering the water eye to break into the Xize Sea, harming the people along the coast, and the boat is also a catastrophe. Zhou Chuan specially came over to tell him, if there was a case, he hoped that Chen Gongzi could prepare in advance. Zhou Chuan said politely, but his eyes looked at Chen Xun's face expectantly.
Zhou Chuan's ship has never taken a business trip of unknown origin, but this Chen Gongzi was introduced by an elder of the sect, so his identity is naturally not a problem.
In the past two or three months, although the Chen Gongzi in front of him has been fishing for pleasure every day, he can't see that he has any cultivation, but the four servants around him give people an unfathomable feeling.
Zhou Chuan thought that if he entered the Xize Sea and encountered any powerful fish and beasts, he also hoped that the four servants around Chen Gongzi could help him.
Chen Xun also knew Zhou Chuan's thoughts, and said, "Thank you Senior Brother Zhou for telling me, we will be careful." ”
The Xize Sea is seven or eight thousand miles long from north to south and three or four thousand miles wide from east to west.
The Xizehai is the natural boundary between the Northern, Northwest and Central Regions, and entering the Xizehai is the Zhonglu counties directly under the jurisdiction of the Jiang clan and Cetianfu.
Chen Xun's original plan was to cross the Nishizawa Sea by boat and then go overland to Xuanjing.
When the ship was still three or four hundred miles away from the Xize Sea, three monks wearing purple robes flew together and said in a loud voice: "The waterway ahead has been cut off, and the boat from upstream is quickly docking. ”
These three purple monks all have the cultivation of the peak of the fetal realm, hanging above the turbulent river, the sound is like a bell, melodious, look at the robes they are wearing, the sleeves are embroidered with a small pattern of a green dragon soaring to the sky.
This is a unique logo of Cetianfu.
"Didn't you say that Xi Zehai is the Central Continent Counties, why is there a monk from Cetianfu in the lower reaches of the Qingjiang River?" Bei Xuanjia looked at Chen Xun in confusion.
The soul of the Northern Xuanjia is the soul of the Beidou Immortals, and his thinking is the same as that of the human race.
Back then, the Seven Sects helped the Jiang clan expel the Ji clan, but it was not to be a good person, but to rule Yunzhou with the Jiang clan.
The Jiang clan nominally has the supreme governing power of Yunzhou, but in fact, except for the southern Xinjiang counties where the Jiang clan originated and the Zhonglu counties where the ancestral lineage of Yunzhou is located, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the Tianfu, the sects and local affairs of the other seven domains are dominated by the seven sects.
The Cetianfu has millions of elite generals in the southern Xinjiang counties and the central continent counties to rule the place, but unless the seven sects invite each other, otherwise, the generals of the Cetianfu are not allowed to enter the territory of the seven domains.
Even in the Seven Domains, there are a large number of Jiang clan's disciples who are divided into county marquises, and there are also a large number of private generals in the county, but on the surface, they have no direct relationship with Cetianfu, let alone embroider the Qinglong logo of Cetianfu on the battle armor robe.
After the destruction of the Shenxiao Sect, the dragons of the Northwest Regions were leaderless, and the counties were severely destroyed by the Demon Dragon's bones and millions of demons.
Even so, the Four Sects and the Canglan Marquis Mansion, as well as the other sects of the Northwest Regions, also had great autonomy and autonomy, and many times they listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement.
Listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement, talk about it in the white, that is, there is something to say, don't be blind if you have nothing to do.
This time, Cetianfu recruited Chen Xun to serve in Xuanjing, if Chen Xun did not leave Wushan, Cetianfu would not be able to cure Chen Xun for the crime of disobedience and disobedience.
It's just that Qingjiang belongs to the Northern Territory led by the Xuandu Sect, and seeing the monks of Cetianfu openly intercepting boats in the lower reaches of the Qingjiang River, Chen Xun was somewhat trapped, and whispered to Northern Xuanjia: "Maybe it's because the Xuandu Sect is under great pressure in Zhou Wushan, and there is no time to take care of such a small-scale transgression of Cetianfu, right?"
At this time, Zhou Chuan wanted to step forward and ask what was going on in Jiangkou, but the three monks of Cetianfu didn't care, impatiently urging them to dock immediately, and then flew away to intercept other boats coming from the parade.
Chen Xun extended his divine sense, and saw that the huge waves at the mouth of the Qingjiang River were surging, and there were two huge boats, carrying hundreds of armored knights, shooting wildly at the river surface with huge bows and crossbows from the inner and outer sides of the estuary; there were dozens of monks in the sky, flying densely above the giant boats, and were using all kinds of magic weapons, attacking the bottom of the estuary, and for a while, the light flashed, stirring up the water surface of the estuary, which was more than 100 miles wide, and the water surface was turbid, and the waves rushed to the sky.
A blue-scaled giant beast that looked like a cunning beast seemed to be trapped under the water by some powerful magic weapon, and was struggling to resist the fierce attacks of the monks and horsemen of the Heavenly Mansion.
Chen Xun and the others docked with the boat, and there were already twenty or thirty boats parked here on the shore.
Zhou Chuan saw an acquaintance on the shore and raised his voice to greet him: "Senior Brother Zhao, what is going on here, those people look like people from the Shenfeng Camp, how could they come here to seal the river?"
Senior Brother Zhao flew over, landed on the deck, took out a bronze mirror-like magic weapon from his arms, sighed, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and saw dozens of gray traces reflected densely on the bronze mirror, and said to Zhou Chuan: "Shenfeng Camp found a blue-eyed water cunning beast in the Xize Sea, and it was entangled for several days before trapping it at the Qingjiang Estuary......
Chen Xun leaned over and glanced at it, and the gray traces displayed on the bronze mirror could correspond to the monks of the Cetianfu Shenfeng Camp flying in the sky above the Qingjin River Estuary, thinking that this bronze mirror was originally a superb magic weapon that could sense the aura of monks within a range of thousands of miles......
