Chapter 340: The difference between the north and the south, the fulfillment of the agreement
Beneath the mountains, the city is majestic.
The word Tianshu is engraved on the city tower, and the city gate is wide open, which is the hustle and bustle of people.
When I first entered the immortal cultivation realm as a teenager, everything was so novel, and I kept looking around.
Chu Mu stopped in front of the city gate and looked at the word Tianshu in the city tower, and Yu Chudu's understanding of the Immortal Sect before also came to mind.
The Immortal Sect is located in the Immortal Mountains.
The Tianshu City in front of him is one of the seven cities of immortality.
The so-called Seven Cities of Immortality refers to the seven cities that surround the entire Immortal Mountain Range, and in a sense, it can also be regarded as the Acropolis of the Immortal Sect.
Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang.
In the name of the Big Dipper, the seven cities surround immortality.
According to legend, it means that eternal life will last forever like the Beidou.
But there is also a legend in the world of cultivating immortals, saying that the Seven Cities of the Big Dipper are actually a magnificent array covering thousands of miles, protecting the Immortal Sect in it.
This statement is naturally difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
After all, for tens of thousands of years, there has been no crisis that can force the Immortal Sect to a truly desperate situation.
Whether it is true or not, naturally, is unknown.
But the Seven Cities of the Big Dipper, its prosperity, is also extremely famous in the entire Great Chu Immortal Cultivation Realm.
The millions of monks of the Immortal Sect, tens of thousands of years of inheritance, multiplication, coupled with the dominant position of the Immortal Sect in Great Chu, the prosperity of the Big Dipper Seven Cities can be imagined.
Chu Mu looked around, under the majestic city gate, there were bustling immortal cultivators, he stopped here, there were immortal cultivators here, and he also subconsciously slowed down and lowered his voice.
"Senior, are you a newcomer to Heavenly Pivot City?"
When he arrived at the city gate, a disciple of the Immortal Sect immediately greeted him.
"According to the rules of the city, when you enter the city for the first time, you need to register first, and you will be bothered to move forward."
"Okay."
Chu Mu nodded, beckoned to Wangcai, and walked with this Immortal Sect disciple to the side of the city gate.
Since the change in Chudu, but the next day, Xu Changqing sent several transmissions, one is to inform him of the subsequent evolution of Chudu, and the other is about the cancellation of the wanted warrant.
In other words, his wanted warrant that he had been burdened with for many years, and his identity as an evil cultivator for many years had been canceled after the Chudu Demon Rebellion.
In this way, even if you swagger into Tianshu City, it will not be hindered.
However, after a simple registration and a ring representing an identity certificate, Chu Mu led the young man into the city.
"The city prohibits fighting methods, you can travel on your own, if there is anything, just spread the sound."
Chu Mu handed the young man a transmission note, a spirit stone bag, and casually instructed.
"The seniors react, the juniors understand."
The boy immediately responded.
Chu Mu bowed slightly, and the young man couldn't wait to go.
He looked around the streets, the pavilions stretched out, the lights were brilliant, and the shops were lined up, and at a glance, it seemed that there was everything.
Chu Mu took out the sound transmission order, and a sound was transmitted, so he walked into a wine shop on the street at will, ordered a pot of spiritual wine and sat down.
Like all the markets he had been to before, this kind of leisure and relaxation place that was rare for immortal cultivators was extremely noisy.
Many low-level immortal cultivators sat together in twos and threes, talking about the past and the present, and all kinds of interesting things could be heard everywhere.
A sip of spiritual wine enters the throat, and the hot stinging pain enters the abdomen from the throat, and finally explodes in the abdomen, and the scorching heat sweeps, like being in a furnace, which can be described as hearty.
Chu Mu drank a few glasses alone, but after a moment's effort, the steps downstairs were hurried, and under the respectful guidance of the shopkeeper, Xu Changqing went up the stairs.
"Happens to be in the middle of the city."
Xu Changqing explained, still as short as that, and sat down at the table.
"Fellow Daoist, if you come a little later, I'm afraid the appointment between you and me will have to be postponed."
"What happened?"
Chu Mu asked, and explained: "Chu has taught the son of the deceased for three years, and he is almost isolated from the world, and he still knows nothing about the outside world. ”
"It's not a big deal."
"Before, due to the matter of the true demon, the front line was quiet for a while, and recently the war has resumed......"
Chu Mu asked tentatively, "Hanhai, have you returned to the Righteous Path Alliance?" ”
Hearing this, Xu Changqing's face also became a little solemn, and he shook his head: "Although I haven't torn my face yet, it's almost the same." ”
"In recent years, on the Hanhai side, the war against the Righteous Dao Alliance has not contributed to the work, or delayed under various pretexts, and even the annual offerings to the sect have been delayed for some reason, and they have not been paid for several years."
Speaking of this, Xu Changqing's voice was a little cold: "Left and right, I want to reap the benefits of the fisherman, such thoughts are known to the world!" ”
Chu Mu frowned, and seeing Xu Changqing's gloomy expression, he changed the topic and said, "That true demon, is there any news?" ”
"After the change of Chudu, there is no whereabouts."
"There is a Taishang in the sect who personally performed the tracking technique, and he only knows that this person has already left the Great Chu Immortal Cultivation Realm and gone to the grassland."
Between the words, Xu Changqing looked at Wangcai who was lying on the side, and when he felt that he was already a mid-second-order cultivator, he was obviously a little surprised: "This is the spirit beast of Daoyou Ling?" ”
"Yes,"
Chu Mu nodded, raised his hand, and Wangcai immediately moved his body and leaned his head over.
"It's not easy to cultivate from a secular dog to a second-order mid-stage demon beast!"
Xu Changqing sighed with some emotion: "This beast can follow you, which can be regarded as a great blessing." ”
"Recently, there will be an auction in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion in the city, Changqing heard that in this auction, there are several Qiling pills auctioned, if you are interested, you can go and participate."
"Elixir?"
Chu Mu raised his eyebrows, obviously interested.
"Yes, in addition to the Qiling Pill, there should be a lot of treasures for the finale."
"This is the first time that the Hundred Treasure Pavilion has entered the Heavenly Pivot City, and in order to make a reputation, it will inevitably come up with some treasures at the bottom of the box."
Chu Mu nodded, although he had never heard of the name of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, it was not difficult for him to understand Xu Changqing's words.
After all, the turmoil that swept through the Great Chu Immortal Realm this time, in the final analysis, was a turmoil caused by the excessive power of the local family and overshadowing the ruling authority of the Immortal Sect.
And this turmoil is said to have been revealed thousands of years ago.
The Immortal Sect has been sustained for several generations, and they have not stopped suppressing the major families.
Under such circumstances, in the territory directly controlled by the Immortal Sect, it was natural that threatening forces would not be allowed to exist.
As far as he knew, up to now, in the region ruled by the Immortal Sect, it can be said that the "centralization" has been completely completed! ”
The entire north is under the direct jurisdiction of the Immortal Sect, and there is no country within a country that occupies one place.
Such a one-size-fits-all approach naturally greatly harmed the interests of the immortal cultivators within the Immortal Sect.
And in order to appease and make up for the dissatisfaction caused by this one-size-fits-all, the Immortal Sect also has additional measures and regulations.
For example, as early as the Jade Emperor Valley, the Immortal Sect completely released the leasing of shops in Fang City.
As long as the monks within the sphere of influence of the Immortal Sect, including the disciples of the Immortal Sect, they can rent shops and open commercial houses, and they are all protected by the Immortal Sect.
In this way, large and small commercial banks are naturally emerging one after another.
And this so-called Hundred Treasure Pavilion is obviously one of them.
To be able to open the commercial bank to this Heavenly Pivot City, the power is naturally not small.
Obviously, these so-called trading houses are not much different from those immortal cultivation families in the south.
It's nothing more than a place with its own, and a place without one.
Many immortal cultivators in the north registered a trading house in the Immortal Sect, and the family power was stuffed into this trading house, and the transformation from a family to a commercial house was completed.
Even, because of the special nature of the trading house, it can also avoid the restriction of the family's bloodline, and the attraction of casual cultivation has also increased dramatically.
Of course, although the facts seem to be no different, if you look at the entire strategic level, the Immortal Sect's step is extremely perfect.
No matter how powerful the business house is, it has always been in the ruling system of the Immortal Sect, not a self-contained, a country within a country like the Southern Immortal Cultivation Family.
After a conversation and greetings, it was like meeting old friends, and the two also talked happily.
The true legend of immortality, the concubine of the sword dao, these two identities are destined to be the things that Xu Changqing can come into contact with, and the secrets he hears are very well known.
Between conversations, for Chu Mu, it was to supplement the insight of several years of retreat.
At sunset, the two walked out of the restaurant.
"The matter of Taoist friends, Changqing has reported to the sect master, and the sect master has given a decree, Taoist friends, you can hold this decree, enter the sect, you can go straight to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, stay for twenty-four hours, and take two volumes except for the true secret arts."
Xu Changqing handed over a jade talisman: "Fellow Daoist, you can go by yourself, Changqing still has some trivial matters, so I won't accompany you for the time being." ”
"It doesn't matter."
Chu Mu nodded, watching Xu Changqing leave, and then he looked at this palm-sized jade talisman.
The whole body is white, the jade is warm, held in the hand, but there is a piercing coldness, the front and back of the jade talisman are white and flawless, without the slightest pattern of lines.
However, in the perception of divine consciousness, one could perceive that there was a faint vitality of plants and trees in the jade talisman.
He glanced at the towering Immortal Mountain in the distance, pondered for a moment, and between raising his hand and flipping, the jade talisman disappeared into the storage space.
Turn around and walk into the restaurant and rent a room for a night's rest.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Chu Mu walked out of the restaurant and went straight to the towering mountain gate of the Immortal Sect.
In the world, it is expected that the mountain will run away from the dead horse, but in the world of cultivating immortals, this statement is more realistic.
According to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, Tianshu City is located under the Immortal Mountain Range, which seems to be very close, but in fact, it is only hundreds of miles away from the majestic mountain gate of the Immortal Sect.
He had barely left the city gate for a hundred miles when a disciple of the Immortal Sect flew over and stopped him.
A sentence of the sect's important place, the death of the trespasser, seems to also show the domineering of the Immortal Sect.
"Senpai, please!"
A jade talisman was revealed, and the attitudes of several Immortal Sect disciples changed instantly, and they bowed down and watched Chu Mu raise his head at the boundary of six hundred miles.
Six hundred miles of road, dozens of checks in succession, Chu Mu was able to reach the front of the towering mountain gate.
At this time, the jade talisman in his hand, as if touched by something, suddenly suspended in front of him, faintly fluorescent flickering and swaying, as if guiding him forward.
Chu Mu looked at the towering immortal mountain in front of him, the stretching palace, and the flickering light, and his heart was a little more apprehensive.
Following the guidance of the jade talisman, the disciples of the Immortal Sect who saw along the way all retreated to the side and sent Chu Mu away.
As soon as he stepped into the Immortal Sect, Chu Mu originally thought that he would be able to take a good look at this huge sect.
But the moment he stepped into the Immortal Sect, before he had time to take a look at the scene, the jade talisman suspended in front of him suddenly appeared with light, and then, he only felt an irresistible force sweeping him away.
In just an instant, it seemed that he had crossed an extremely long distance, and when he was down-to-earth, a majestic pavilion covering an area of hundreds of acres had already come into his field of vision.
The pavilion is in the shape of a tower, spiraling upwards layer by layer, towering into the sky, and its height is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
Countless array forbidden weapons swirled around the pavilion, and the divine sense sensed it slightly, and an indescribable terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly emerged, almost suffocating.
Before the pavilion, a disciple of the Immortal Sect walked in and out, although it was crowded, it was extremely quiet, and even the footsteps seemed to be subconsciously lightened.
Chu Mu walked in with a jade talisman, to his surprise, this time, without any investigation and obstruction, he walked into this magnificent pavilion.
Between the rows of spiritual wood bookshelves neatly arranged, there is a vast expanse that cannot be seen at a glance, and on the bookshelves, they are all shrouded in faint fluorescence, or rows of books, or jade slips are piled up.
Each room, each volume, is a nameplate to identify the name and utility of the secret technique.
A disciple of the Immortal Sect shuttled in front of the vast bookshelf, and his words and deeds were extremely quiet.
Chu Mu looked at the vast bookshelf in front of him in a daze, and then looked at the staircase leading to the second floor, thinking back to the towering clouds he had just seen, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
It was so vast that he only had twenty-four hours......
He looked down at the jade talisman, as if to strengthen his sense of urgency, and a countdown of time also appeared on the jade talisman.
He didn't dare to delay, and when his divine sense was scattered, the nameplate logos of dozens of bookshelves around him came into view, all of which were some basic spells and various skill knowledge.
Obviously, the first floor of this scripture pavilion is very likely to be some basic classics.
He walked up the stairs and was blocked by a faint light film, but when he touched it with the jade talisman, the light film suddenly dissipated, and he walked forward unhindered.
He went straight upstairs, and on every floor, there was a forbidden block, until the eighth layer of the forbidden block, the jade talisman was invalid, and it was difficult for him to move forward half a step.
He stepped back from the staircase, his eyes wandering, and he looked at the eighth floor of the Scripture Pavilion in front of him.
It's still like the first layer, as vast as a sea of smoke, and the naked eye can't see the end at all.
The number of books in this scripture pavilion was already beyond his imagination.
When he reached a bookshelf, jade slips came into view.
A whole bookshelf, dozens of jade slips, all of which are fire attribute cultivation exercises.
There are even several jade slips with the marks of ancient exercises.
The effectiveness of the exercises, on each nameplate, is also clearly marked.
Without exception, they are all high-level exercises that are rare in the outside world.
Any volume, if placed in the outside world, I am afraid it will cause a lot of turmoil.
And on the eighth floor of this Scripture Pavilion, it is just an ordinary volume among the vast and secret techniques of the exercises.
……
This chapter is four thousand.
