Bang!

With a clumsy muffled sound, Bai Wei, the former city lord of White Key City, placed a stack of thick bamboo slips on the table in front of Wang Luo.

These bamboo slips may seem unremarkable, but they are actually ...... It is indeed only the most simple bamboo products, which are neither attached to the clever fairy law, nor are they made of imitation bamboo of any special material.

It's just some ordinary bamboo chips, which are dried, baked, cut, and scraped...... After that, an ordinary brush dipped in ordinary ink is used, and neat calligraphy is used to write word by word.

In the old immortal calendar era, even mortal families and chambers of commerce, only the most stingy bosses would choose this kind of thing that did not touch the slightest immortal qi to record the important information of the family.

However, in the era of the New Immortal Calendar, the situation was reversed, and only the most extravagant forces could afford to use such "simple and ordinary" bamboo slips to carry the historical information of the family.

Because in an era when the aura of heaven and earth is almost overflowing, and the magic of immortal law penetrates into people's lives, it is not easy to find a bunch of bamboo slips that do not touch the slightest bit of immortal energy. In addition to cultivating and breeding these same non-spiritual primitive crops with great hardship in a few specially created spiritual places, if you want to find such "simple and ordinary" bamboo slips, you often have to go to the ruins of the wasteland to find the old heritage.

But this kind of extravagance is not meaningless.

It is precisely because the bamboo slips are not touched with immortal qi from the moment they are born, so in this era when immortal magic is rampant, and all kinds of obstacles and obstacles are popular, the simple bamboo slips are a kind of innocence proof that is almost guarding the palace sand. History recorded in this clumsy way is the most authentic and reliable.

At the same time, due to the limitation of materials, these authentic and reliable historical materials are difficult to preserve for too long without the protection of immortal law. Therefore, every once in a while, the family must send someone to copy it by hand, and during this period, it is also forbidden to practice, so that the copyist is like a mortal - or simply spend a lot of money to hire the kind of heavenly cripple who was born in the new era but really does not understand the spiritual energy.

In short, these bamboo slips are extremely troublesome to prepare and preserve, although they are quite authentic and authoritative. But if it is only to ensure the true authority, in fact, it is more economical to take the means - send the records to the Guanghan Immortal Palace on the first moon, and the girls in the palace who are permanently neutral are responsible for the preservation and management. It's a lot of money, but it's much more affordable than handmade bamboo.

Therefore, among the hundred countries of the Immortal League, there are very few people who use bamboo slips, and there are even fewer family forces that solemnly use bamboo slips to record important family information and have remained unchanged for many years.

So much so that many Bai family members didn't know that they still had such a bunch of bulky information.

As a former city lord, Bai Wei was once among the top echelons of the family, but this was also the first time she had seen and touched this stack of thick bamboo slips with her own hands. And considering that Wang Luo was named to check these bamboo slips as soon as he came up, the former city lord couldn't help but feel terrified, raised his slightly shrunken gaze, and said in a low voice.

"Lord Wang, this is the information you are looking for, the directory of the Bai family, and the many properties under the family's name...... The things that the head of the family can see are basically here, if it's still not enough......"

Wang Luo sat at the other end of the table and waved his hand gently: "No need, Lord Baicheng......"

"I'm not a city lord anymore." Bai Wei hurriedly explained, "I'm just the consul of the merchant group now, and I was specially appointed by He Lao to assist you in completing the construction of the Star Destroyer Divine Sword. ”

Wang Luo ignored these greetings, and only said: "These materials are enough, if there is a need, I will come to you again for help." ”

Bai Wei naturally could not hear the meaning of the words, and bowed down with a little regret to leave, leaving this confidential room located in the original city lord's mansion of White Key City to Wang Luo alone.

Then on the way back, he speculated in every possible way about the purpose of Wang Luo's trip, and how he would take advantage of this rare opportunity to regain power.

This is Wang Luo's second visit as a special envoy. Unlike the previous time, this time his behavior was much more low-key, and he didn't even publicize the identity of the envoy with much fanfare. So much so that at the welcome banquet in Shengxue Building, many high-powered guests really thought that Wang Luo was here to contact Yueyang people!

In fact, now Yueyang, many of the organizational and coordination work on the bright side are pushed by He Pingjun. Wang Luo just hid behind the scenes, with the assistance of a few elites of the He family and the Bai family, and enjoyed his success.

Of course, from the perspective of objective conditions, Wang Luo does not have the conditions to act in a high-profile manner now.

No matter how it is covered, in the eyes of people of insight, Wang Luo appeared in Yueyang at this point in time, and there can only be one purpose: that is, the pioneer of Rongcheng encountered an unexpected setback, so he had to use the record to let White Key City go north to share the pressure of Rongcheng.

Yueyang, as a pioneer substitute, was a plan that the senior management of the Immortal League had a long time ago - everyone did not dare to guarantee that the road to the crazy lake would be smooth sailing, so the accident happened as early as expected.

However, when the backup plan of Yueyang Pioneer was actually activated, it meant that the proud and even arrogant wishers had already run into blood in the most important cause and had to turn to their good neighbor Yueyang for help.

And to ask for someone, you must always have an attitude of asking for someone. Like last time, if the teacher asks for sin, it will never work.

So Wang Luo is low-key at the moment, and there are many things that can be done, but it is inconvenient to make a noise.

It's just that, unlike some people's initial expectations, although Wang Luo is low-key, he does not bow his head, he does not bend to greet anyone on this trip, but "summons" the ancestor of the He family as soon as he comes up. When He Pingjun was in Shengxue Tower, singing praises for Wang Luo with the posture of an old man, those who looked forward to wishing and bowing their heads were destined to return home.

What's more, after Wang Luo's arrival, the ancestor of the He family actually showed a strong return to the light, with a posture that could not be ignored, with the grasp of the Northern Regions Business Group, he quickly coerced several other giants, and after quickly sweeping away some obstacles, he resolutely opened the emergency development of Yueyang.

Wang Luo's seemingly low-key, but in fact tough, and non-martial arts to summon the ancestors of the He family, made Yueyang's upper-class wealthy quite dissatisfied, but they were helpless. On the one hand, the ancestor of the He family is really awesome; On the other hand, the people of hope do also hold the righteousness of pioneering. This makes it difficult for several other companies, even if they accumulate more emotional dissatisfaction in their hearts, to openly oppose it.

In essence, this pioneering, Yueyang has long been tightly bound to the ship of wishing. It's okay if something else goes wrong, if the pioneer really encounters trouble, Ziwu and Zhou Guo can still see jokes thousands of miles apart, and Yueyang, as a direct supporter, has to face the aftermath.

What's more, in addition to the eight wealthy families being suppressed by the ancestors of the He family, the Heaven-Replenishing Monarch, as the lord of the country, also acquiesced in Zhu Wang's domineering, as if since the failure of the impeachment of the chief of the Xian Kulin back then, he has completely lost the courage to sing against Zhu Wang. He didn't even need Lu Youyou to take the initiative to stand up and speak, he would retreat on his own and hang up the war-free card!

Therefore, the situation is like this, even if they pinch their noses, the people of Yueyang have no choice but to cooperate with Zhu Wangren and build a large number of buildings outside White Key City to prepare for the city's pioneering journey after a hundred years.

Fortunately, Wang Luo, based on the special needs of "not seeing the light", did not arbitrarily exercise power in the process, which made the people of Yueyang lose face. On the contrary, he just put forward some framework requirements to He Pingjun, and then let it go, letting the He family, the head snake, organize manpower, and set up multiple construction sites around White Key City to build large-scale projects such as mountain fortresses and star destroyer sword.

And he himself spends most of his time retrieving and consulting those ancient and moldy materials.

For example, on this day, he was carefully checking the Bai family's background.

As one of the eight wealthy families in Yueyang, the Bai family unexpectedly has the inheritance of the old world, or in other words, the Bai family in Yueyang is the Bai family from which the fourth senior sister Bai Cheng was born, the Bai family that was entrenched in Jingzhou in the old Xianli era, sat on the three major flood and desolation secret methods, and was almost comparable to the Taiqing family when its authority was at its peak.

It's just that these glorious pasts can only stay at the historical level. At the time of the catastrophe, Jingzhou fell, and the Bai family and the seventeen branches were destroyed almost instantly. Now this Yueyang wealthy family who inherited the name of the Bai family in the old world is just the remnants of the Bai family's bloodline rescued from the ruins by the Dinghuang Fathers led by Senior Sister Lu Zhiyao.

Saying that it is the Bai family, it is indeed the Bai family, even if it is just the remnants of the bloodline that have been rescued, the first generation of the Bai family is indeed flowing with the blood of the Bai family in Jingzhou, and has superior talent and supernatural powers - even if it has experienced the changes of the Heavenly Dao, it is still superior.

However, the serious Bai family, from the moment the family was established, had the same superior arrogance. In that barbaric, jungle era, arrogance was a precious quality that countless people spurned and ridiculed on the surface, but secretly envied it. But the Bai family, who survived the catastrophe, seemed to have broken their backbone. The establishment of the family relies on the support and even charity of external forces.

To be precise, it is the strong support of the He family.

For more than 1,200 years in the New Immortal Calendar, at least thirty percent of the status of the Bai family, a wealthy family, was maintained with the support of the He family. When they lost their Jingzhou family, lost most of the leaders and backbones of the family, and left only a group of landless survivors, it was the He family that provided them with a shelter from the wind and rain, and firmly supported the first generation of the Bai family head, effectively integrating the remaining strength of the family.

When Yueyang successfully fixed the famine and the country was first established, it was also the He family who overrode public opinion and brought the Bai family, whose strength was still quite insufficient at that time, into the ruling circle of the eight wealthy families, and even the Northern Regions Business Group was established by the He family with the Bai family.

Similarly, in the face of many major historical turning points in the future, it was the He family who either coerced strongly or persuaded, so that the Bai family could clear up the confusion and finally make the right choice.

Even in the Bai family's own historical materials, they are full of extremely complicated feelings for the He family.

On the one hand, they must acknowledge the grace of the He family—and more than once for more than a thousand years; On the other hand, as the descendants of the arrogant, they are really ashamed to admit that if there is no He family, the Bai family is afraid that it will be difficult to be worthy of the name of a wealthy family, let alone inherit and carry forward the prestige of the old Bai family!

But these historical materials, in Wang Luo's eyes, obviously have a different meaning.

This Bai family is clearly a wealthy family deliberately raised by the He family - unlike the alliance and support between ordinary wealthy families, the He family has hardly asked the Bai family for a real return on a thousand-year historical scale. Only feeding, not harvesting, only nesting, not downpole...... The generosity of the He family almost made the Bai family panic.

Of course, panic is the beginning, when generations of the Bai family live in an environment where it is natural for the He family to help them wipe their buttocks, even the most cautious Bai family members are difficult to be wary of the He family. Occasionally, those who are rebellious will be suppressed by the visible and invisible, and even some Bai family members who are too curious will be severely warned by their own family members.

The friendship of the He family is like a rich aura that was inadvertently leaked when the neighbor's family built the Spirit Gathering Array, regardless of whether it came from the right way or not, enjoy it with peace of mind until the neighbor suddenly realized it. Don't take the initiative to go to the repair, wasting your chance.

Even after thousands of years of development, the Bai family has been worthy of the title of the eight wealthy families, and occasionally when they meet the lord of Zhongxing, they can even faintly overpower the He family...... But a good neighbor who is very popular at all times.

As a result, the Bai family had long been accustomed to the existence of a selfless ally, and was unguarded against the occasional strong requests of allies.

For example, now, when He Pingjun personally came forward to ask for it, the Bai family simply took a gesture and was at the mercy...... Thanks to their cooperation, Wang Luo's initial work was almost unhindered - with just one sentence, he made Bai Wei, who was barely ranked in the middle and high-level of the Bai family, his personal assistant, and personally moved the bamboo slips of the Bai family for himself.

Although these bamboo slips are not particularly valued by the family—otherwise they would not have a musty smell—they are not something that anyone can call up and see.

So the question is, why did the He family take such pains to support the Bai family? Considering that the He family can be regarded as a dark line controlled by the senior sister since a thousand years ago, this question might as well be replaced, why did the senior sister instruct the He family to support the Bai family?

The answer to this question, even He Pingjun himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to answer it before the recent days. But now, it's finally getting clearer.

The only value of the existence of this family, this family that has been raised for thousands of years and has flourished, is that when the ancestor of his family, the person who should be on the same side as the senior sister, appears in front of him as an enemy, he can ......

While weaving clues in his mind, Wang Luo silently flipped through the heavy bamboo slips, his movements were fast and methodical, and the mountain-like bamboo slips, he only took two days to read the last part.

Then, unsurprisingly, he found what he was looking for in this most remote of information books.

"White Orange...... What a good hostel for parents to die and wander alone. ”
