Volume 1 The Treasure Seal Confesses the Lord Chapter 49 The situation is complicated
After listening for a while, you knew the situation of the people next door.
Anxi Road has jurisdiction over seven states, namely: Anxi, Xuanzhou, Wenzhou, Rouzhou, Pingzhou, Ganzhou and Wuzhou.
Among them, Anxi Prefecture is the first state of this road, and the governor of the state is named Li Zimu, and he also served as the pacification envoy of Anxi Road for more than two years, and is a feudal official sent by the imperial court to preside over the party. Not only that, Anxi Prefecture is also the center of the army in the west of the town - the seat of the capital governor's mansion of Kou Yi, the generalissimo of Zhenxi.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the strong power of the imperial court that there are only two small immortal sects in Anxi Prefecture, Qiuwei Mountain in Shengshan County and Yulong Mountain in Zhenxi County.
The Firmament Sect occupies several mountains in Xuanzhou, and is the largest sect in the entire Anxi Road, and is also the leader of the Immortal Family of the Road recognized by the imperial court.
As for the Jinlan Sect in the population of those next door, the land of the sect is located in Wenzhou, and its strength is slightly weaker than that of the Firmament Sect, and the other two, one from the Cabbage Sea in Ganzhou and the other from the Wumeng Sea in Wuzhou, are the indigenous settlements of the Western Regions where witchcraft is the mainstay.
The men were drinking when they were splashed with cold water by another voice.
"A few good Yaxing, it seems that the spirits of this holy mountain county are more intoxicating than the spirit brew of the immortal family, beware of soaking your tongue. ”
The rough voice came from the sea of cabbage, and the urn said angrily: "Where did you come from, dare to disturb the uncles to drink?"
Jin Lanzong seemed to know that person, and when he spoke, he lost the vigor of his previous nonsense, and said in a humble tone:
"Jin Lanzong Zhu Huanzhi, I have seen Elder Xu. ”
You was surprised, it turned out that the person who came was none other than the Firmament Sect monk who had been scolded by these people for a long time.
This person is also a little impressed, a few months ago when he was watching the ceremony, he had a fate, it was Xu Jun, the elder of the Firmament Sect.
You Li heard the master remind you that in the entire Anxi Prefecture, you must beware of the Firmament Sect the most.
The reason Xuan Yuzi also said, without him, it is all because the Firmament Sect is the first major faction on this road, and there is an ancestor of the Jindan period who sits in the mountain gate. As a result, the sects in other states of the road were steadily suppressed by it.
During the ceremony that day, Xuan Yuzi deliberately showed her hand out of the situation, which left a deep impression on many people. This move did make many sects on Anxi Road dare not covet Yuyu Mountain anymore, but at the same time, it also exposed the bottom, making the Firmament Sect feel threatened, so it is inevitable that they will suffer the attention, temptation and suppression of the Firmament Sect in the future.
Xuan Yuzi's words are okay, but now that he is forced to retreat, he will inevitably be limited to the crisis, which is also the fundamental reason why Xuan Yuzi asked to avoid his edge and immediately travel down the mountain.
Seeing that it was an elder of the Firmament Sect who appeared, and it seemed that he had also placed a soundproof ban, he immediately withdrew his mind transmission technique, tried his best to restrain his breath, and began to eat with his head bored. At the same time, his mind turned around and carefully sorted out the intricate interests between the various sects.
First of all, it was obviously not Qiuwei Mountain that sent Li Tong's brother and sister to follow him, let alone Yulong Mountain, where Li Tong wanted to blame, and nine times out of ten it was the Firmament Sect.
Although Li Tong is said to be the descendant of Qiuwei Mountain, out of personal selfishness, he secretly hooked up with Jade Dragon Mountain and the Firmament Sect one after another, which is equivalent to a multi-faceted spy. This mission to track himself is very likely to be Li Tong, who was secretly instructed by the Firmament Sect, and in turn claimed to his junior sister Lu Jinhua that he was acting with the hint of Yulong Mountain.
There are two purposes for this move, one is naturally to grasp every move of wandering and pointing to the mystic view at any time, and the other is to divide and provoke Qiuwei Mountain and Yulong Mountain.
Because although Qiuwei Mountain and Yulong Mountain are only small sects, they are both local immortal sects in Anxi Prefecture after all, and if such a small sect wants to achieve long-term development, it is almost inevitable to accept the court's wooing, so Li Zimu, the governor of Anxi Prefecture, who is in charge of this matter, will be biased towards these two sects in this state.
In this way, for the Firmament faction from Xuanzhou, Li Tong, who secretly enabled Qiuwei Mountain, blamed Yulong Mountain by tracking and wandering, and provoked the infighting between Qiuwei Mountain, Yulong Mountain and Zhixuanguan, which was a typical plan to kill three birds with one stone and reap the benefits.
Thinking through this joint, you have to seriously think about the bidding for the Jinwu Stone Mine. However, since there is not much information at hand, I can only guess a rough idea.
First of all, the firmament faction, as the leader of the immortal factions in the seven states of Anxi Road, has the greatest hope of winning the bid; secondly, Yulong Mountain and Qiuwei Mountain, provided that these two can establish an offensive and defensive alliance; thirdly, it is Fang Huaiyuan and Zhai Biqing, who were killed halfway in the name of the ink craftsman; and finally, it is the sects of other states on Anxi Road headed by Jin Lanzong, such as Moyutai and Pinggezhai who have not yet appeared.
This is not counting the several sects that came to Liangsu Road next door when they heard the news, such as the Tianyin Sect, because there was a Jindan period high cultivator Huang Qian who was in Anhua Town, so he also signed up. It is not difficult to guess that the Tianyin faction will definitely follow the path of the Anxi Prefecture Road Shoji, which is also not to be underestimated.
However, the number of places given by the imperial court was only three, and the competition was not fierce. You Li couldn't help but sweat for Fang Huaiyuan and Zhai Fat.
At this moment, several people next door had already rushed out, and they didn't dare to release their senses, but listened attentively, these people no longer had the previous tension, but went downstairs with a smile.
So, You Li made another note in the small book in his heart: the Firmament Sect may join forces with the Jinlan Sect.
By the time we finished eating, it was already night outside the window.
As soon as he got up and left his seat, he heard Zhai Biqing's whistling voice from a distance, so he opened the door and stood outside the door and waved.
"Yo, my brother is out of customs?"
Youli nodded and let a few people into the private room.
"How's it going?"
Fang Huaiyuan poured a glass of water, drank it all in one go, and sighed:
"The Kengye Division arranged for the monks to take turns to enter the mountain, and each family explored and judged the reserves on their own, we are the third wave, and in the next few days, people from all walks of life will enter the mountain one after another. Ten days later, Lord Wang, who joined the army in Anxi Prefecture, came to personally preside over the first bidding meeting. ”
"How's the reserves?"
Fang Huaiyuan glanced at Zhai Biqing's senior brother Qian Qiao, Qian Qiao understood, and opened his hand to set a layer of prohibition in the room.
"The reserves of Qingyun Mountain are decent, and they can only be regarded as medium ore veins, but they are quite good at ore taste. According to our current mining capacity, the amount of rough stone mined in a year is about 500,000 catties. After smelting and purifying, the annual output of gold black stone is about 50,000 catties. At this rate, it will continue to be mined for about two to three hundred years. ”
"How does this mining ability compare to other sects?"
At this time, Qian Qiao, who has always been silent, interjected: "Our mining equipment and magic circle, in fact, there is still room for improvement, and we should be able to double the output in a few years." This kind of mining volume, looking at the entire cultivation world, I dare not say that it is the highest, but it is also among the best. The technology is definitely fine. ”
After listening, he didn't say much, but instead told everything he had heard and thought before.
Several people looked at each other, and their faces became a little more solemn.
You Li asked, "Are the rest of the various sects participating in the bidding now gathered in Qingyun Village?"
Fang Huaiyuan nodded and said, "It's almost here." And they are buying land and houses on a large scale, not only to fancy the development here, but also to show the imperial court. ”
"How's it going?"
After hearing this, Zhai Biqing said depressedly: "We have successively set up porridge sheds in Anhua Town, Xingwang Village and Qingyun Village, although the effect is small, but after all, it is a righteous act that can save the lives of the poor, and it has some effect." But the barracks couldn't even enter, the money was scattered, and the sound was not heard at all. ”
You Li couldn't help laughing, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take your time." It is not difficult to understand that the military camp does not accept it, and now that the situation between the two countries is not clear, people will not be allowed to enter and leave when they are idle, what if they are mixed in with spies who spy on military intelligence?
"In addition, with the influx of forces in the cultivation world, the land price and housing prices in Qingyun Village will rise sharply. It is suggested that if you have spare money, you can purchase a batch of land in advance, which can be used to resettle the poor and poor in the future, if necessary. At that time, we must pull the court to do it together. ”
After hearing this, Zhai Biqing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Subsequently, he asked about the location of each sect in Qingyun Village without a trace.
After chatting for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest.
At midnight, Youli quietly came out of the secret room. Taking advantage of the moonlight, I climbed over the wall and went out of the backyard of Qingyuan Restaurant.
All the way through the streets and alleys, I came to a humble rice shop in the northwest area of the village. He took out an object from the gold and jade bead bag, shook it off, and flew into the house through the half-open window.
After doing this, he didn't stop for a moment and hurried back to Qingyuan Restaurant.
