Before Ping Rongce and Ping Sujian returned to the Wuping Array Dao Sect, the two discussed whether to tell the clan about the inheritance of the formation path from Wulan Mountain.

Although later, the family forgot about the ancestor's request to find the Asanga-Daoist to repay the favor, only the two of them often went out to visit, and most of the people in the clan sneered at the behavior of the two, and they had no status in the clan, but the uncle and nephew were honest and loyal to the family and the sect, and finally decided to make the matter public.

Ping Sujian had an extra heart, and asked Ping Rongce to first dedicate the basic and secondary things to the clan about the learning of the formation of the Asanga, and keep the related to the Eight Poles Cloud Light Array.

This turned out to be very necessary.

At the beginning, the suzerain, the clan elders and the patriarchs of the various branches were overjoyed, and the status of Ping Sujian and Ping Rongce was immediately improved, and he became a meritorious minister of the family.

The various departments of the Hei family are accustomed to fighting openly and secretly, and the exercises and formations handed down by the ancestors have not been carried forward, but have become more and more regressive, so each family has scrambled to encompass the two, hoping to get more content and teaching.

In less than a year, when everyone thought that they couldn't dig out more, plus the uncle and nephew had a quiet temperament, and they were not too close to either branch, seeing that the value of the two was squeezed dry, and they couldn't be co-opted to become their own people, plus Ping Rongce's formation cultivation improved extremely quickly, and no one could match it among his peers, and under the jealousy and dissatisfaction, the faces of the clansmen turned cold.

The uncle and nephew returned to their original unwelcome situation.

That's it, in order to suppress them and prevent Ping Rongce from rising among the juniors and gaining an advantage in the future power struggle, they turned to unite and calculate the pair of uncles and nephews.

At first, it was aimed at plain simplicity. Ping Sujian was transferred to the Yuanyang City branch under the pretext and was killed in a public fight.

Ping Rongce felt that there was something wrong with it, so he ran to the sect master and the clan elder to ask for investigation and revenge, but the result was naturally all kinds of prevarication.

Ping Rongce is such a person who is really good to himself, he doesn't follow it at the moment, and the trouble will start, and then the clan elders are so annoyed that they will find a reason to convict him of a crime, and beat him into the old house in the back mountain to think about it, but in fact, he used the ancestral formation to put him under house arrest.

When Ping Rongce calmed down, he knew that he was helpless in the clan, and his strength was not good, so it was difficult to find out the truth, so he decided to forbear.

The clan no longer gave him any cultivation resources, but what they didn't expect was that Ping Rongce kept the full map of the Cloud Light Array and the key points of the formation, and the old house formation itself was arranged according to the simple diagram of the Cloud Light Array, and the overall control method was not even learned by the clan elders, and some of them were lost.

Ping Rongce is like a fish in water here, not only can he rely on the power of the formation to strengthen his cultivation, but he can also quietly continue to study and explore on the spot on the basis of the sketch, and his grasp of the remains of the Asanga's formation is becoming more and more comprehensive.

Therefore, Ping Rongce has been able to enter and exit the back mountain array at will without being noticed.

The reason why he has been staying here is that his Asanga Array Taoism has not yet been completed, and he is only basically integrated at present, and second, he feels that his cultivation needs to be further improved, so that he can find justice for Ping Sujian and have the ability to break through independently in the future.

Ping Rongce is kind and humble, and the clan is mean and unkind to him, but after all, he didn't put him to death, he still has the concept of the family, and all he wants is to find out the reason and find the person who killed Ping Sujian to take revenge, as for the Ping family, it's a big deal to leave, he has no idea of revenge.

This time, Hua Lanting came, and he decided to take this opportunity to leave the sect and go to Yuanyang City to investigate what happened.

After everyone listened, Lin Xianzhen suspected in his heart that the Ping family had something to do with the death of Ping Sujian, but now there is no evidence, so he didn't say much.

The matter has come to this, Ping Rongce is safe, there is no need to pretend to be a duel, Ping Rongce is not rescued by them, what do the Ping family think after they find out is their business, there is no need to stay here, everyone rushed to Yuanyang City overnight.

A few days later, they entered the southwestern city of Yuanyang and came to the prosperous place that they had not seen for a long time.

First of all, I found the business name of the merchant in Yuanyang, the merchant station and shop cover a large area, and the strange thing is that the cars and horses in front of the door are sparse, and the business is not very good.

After reporting their names, the one who came out to greet them was Shang Jinshu, the grandson of the Shang family and Shang Chenxi's nephew.

This is also a battle together in the Wulan Mountain, and everyone sat down to talk after a surprise and affection.

Asked what he meant, Shang Jinshu ordered someone to get in touch with Vientiane Gate to report safety, which took some time, and after chatting for a while about the situation after parting, he talked about why Shang Jinshu was here and the business of the merchant shop was light.

Shang Jinshu sighed and said with a wry smile: "That's why I'm here." ”

"The southwest is also a place where there are many Xiuzhen sects and developed commerce, and all major businesses will be stationed here. ”

"But you don't know that people in the southwest are generally xenophobic, and you compete internally, but they are very grouped externally, and it is not easy to operate under a foreign business. ”

"Over the years, among the four major families of Xianzhou's "civil engineering industry and commerce", the Tu family and the Mu family have basically given up, and the business name opened is to declare a sense of existence, and our merchants and the Gongsun family have been working hard to expand the situation, but the effect is always not good, so this time they sent me over. ”

"It's a lot of pressure, and this can be regarded as a test and tempering for me by the family. As the eldest grandson of the long house, everyone else is looking at my performance, and there may be others waiting to see my jokes. ”

"There are three major forces in Yuanyang City, an important town in the southwest. The first is the Dao family, which is a local family that has existed since ancient times, and there are many Xiuzhen sects in the southwest region that are attached, stomping their feet and trembling, and controlling the trade of almost all bulk goods and some Xiuzhen resources. ”

"The second is the Xu family. Although the Xu family is an outsider, they moved here more than a thousand years ago, and they have been operating for many years, and they are already deep-rooted. The Xu family is mainly engaged in the magic weapon and weapons business, which is produced by itself and purchased from various continents outside, and has strong strength. ”

"The last is the Ma family, what Zhengxing is doing is transporting foot power, and at the same time taking over all the lower ninth-rate side business, with a fierce style. ”

"Like the Ping family you mentioned, they can be called kings and hegemons in their area, but in Yuanyang City, they are only vassals of the Xu family. ”

"Normal business, businesses are not afraid of anyone, and there are various means to compete. However, although these three do not deal with each other, the relationship between them is intertwined and consistent, which makes it difficult for us to move forward. ”

"I've been here for a short time, and I'm still getting familiar with the situation, and I'm in contact with various families, and I haven't thought of a good idea for a while. You're here by coincidence, a few little brothers have to give me ideas. ”

It's time for dinner.

After dinner, Ping Rongce wanted to visit the homes of several close friends who Ping Sujian had before his death, Lin Xian told him not to reveal his whereabouts, to settle down first and then plot slowly, and after asking for a sound transmission device from Shang Jinshu, Ping Rongce left.

After dinner, the news of the Vientiane Gate came back, and the door told them not to worry, they could bypass the central patio area and return slowly through the southern part of Xianzhou, which was regarded as a journey of travel and knowledge.

Of course, everyone was happy, and after discussion, although they might not be able to help Shang Jinshu with anything, it was also good to observe the customs and people in the southwest and learn more about other cultivation sects, so they decided to stay in Yuanyang for a few more days.

Everyone only had a holiday, and the next day they all slept lazily for the first time, got up at three o'clock in the morning, and went out for a walk after eating a half-cut meal that was neither morning nor evening.

The food in the southwest of Xianzhou is very rich in local characteristics, not to mention that Xi Rujian couldn't stop eating, and the others didn't stop eating, until the last meal of the day was completed on the second-floor terrace of a restaurant in the evening.

couldn't walk anymore, so everyone sat idle, chatting and enjoying the night view of Yuanyang.

Not only the food, but also the girls in the southwest are also eye-catching, because of the mixed living of various ethnic groups, their appearance is unique compared to other places.

Zhang Hanyun and Zhuge Yun were newly married, and it was the hot time, when they saw a few Peugeot women walking over on the street, Yi Liunian laughed at Zhuge Yun and said: "Zhuge , who do you think these girls are more beautiful than your family Hanyun?"

Zhuge Yun didn't fall for him, he didn't turn his head, and said very calmly: "Then you don't need to ask, my brother never looks at the wildflowers on the roadside, just because Xiaozhang is as beautiful as a flower." ”

Zhang Hanyun listened with affection in his eyes and asked, "Passing years, you should compare yourself with your family Wenyin." ”

Yi Liunian said lightly: "I'm different, I must look carefully when I see a girl." As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm. Only after comparing many ways, you will know, except for Wen Yin, um, and except for the three of you and the other four, I found that the other women all look similar, and there is not much difference. ”

Xi Rujian was shocked: "Yo, including this girl, I am flattered." ”

Yi Liunian: "That's right, I look at people, only at faces. ”

At this time, the night is dark, the lights are gradually rising, and the road begins to be lively, with a bustling flow of people, shoulder to shoulder, and shops and vendors lining up on both sides of the street.

Under the restaurant, a stall selling antiques was set up. Most of the fakes sold by this kind of traveling merchant peddler didn't pay attention to it until a girl surrounded by a group of people stopped in front of the stall.

This girl is not a local at first glance, she looks bright and bright, wears a splendid dress, and is very eye-catching in the crowd, but she walks up, and the group of old men who follow behind her are as high-spirited and flowing.

looks like a lady, walks like a ruffian, and has an aura that is not allowed to enter the living, and several factors add up to attract everyone's attention.

The girl must have come in to eat, and seemed to catch a glimpse of something before entering the door, so she stopped in front of the stall.

Life is not the same when she is beautiful, she stopped, and soon passers-by gathered and poked behind her and whispered.

The girl grinned and pointed to a large porcelain bowl and asked for the price, and the stall owner offered a hundred spirit stones.

The girl glared: "Who is it? You dare to ask for a hundred spirit stones for this stall, if it weren't for Miss Ben's rare color, you wouldn't hesitate to give it to me." ”

The stall owner peeked at the strong man who was following her, and his voice was half a cut shorter: "The sky is asking for a price, do you want to pay it back on the ground, or do you take it away at fifty?"

"Whether this thing is genuine or not, it's also antique, and I worked hard to get it, it's an old thing that has been handed down somewhere, don't believe it. ”

The stall owner turned over the big bowl, and there were four vermilion characters at the bottom: Daming Kangxi.

The girl sneered: "Okay, okay, it's still Qing Chongzhen." For the sake of making this girl laugh, thirty spirit stones, and then bring the inkstone and purple gold bowl next to it. ”

The boss muttered while packing, and it seemed that he agreed.

Just as he was about to hand over the money and deliver the goods with the other, a fierce voice sounded: "Slow, these three samples of sons want it, three hundred spirit stones." ”

As he spoke, a man with shiny and shiny hair, oily hair and powdery face, as black as the bottom of a coal pot, squeezed in, followed by a dozen followers.

The girl raised her eyes and said, "Yo, who am I, the third son cut off his beard halfway, which is completely in line with your style." ”

The black-faced man was vicious to the stall owner, and when he turned to the girl, he immediately changed his face, and said with a smile: "The thing that the third lady likes must be a good thing, how can thirty match your identity?" So this son bought it for three hundred, in order to transfer it to you, the innocent girl. ”

The stall owner doesn't care who the things belong to, someone pays a high price, and his hands are quick to wrap up, and he has to hand it over.

This business was destined to be unsmooth, as soon as he raised his hand, someone in the crowd of onlookers shouted: "Five hundred spirit stones!"
