Asayama Sect, Dayi County.

Shen Junmao, the town guard, had just had a delicately made breakfast under the service of two young maids, the blue outside the window was like washing, the air was refreshing and clear, and the early birds chirped, provoking a pair of colorful feather canaries hanging in front of the hall to sing along.

It's fun!

Shen Junmao got up and teased for a moment, then reached out and took the latest schedule from the desk, the morning schedule was very tight, first with the town guards of Quanling Town and Guanting Town, he went to visit the wildebeest cub domestication field in Wild Horse Town, and then went to Shrimp Pond Town together, and guarded the boat on the Green Lake with Qian Zhen of Shrimp Pond Town, and read his recently compiled poetry collection while feasting. These market towns belong to complex areas, among which Quanling Town and Guanting Town are under the jurisdiction of Lizong's Winterfell City, while Wild Horse Town and Shrimp Pond Town are under the jurisdiction of Yufeng Sect's Vertical Arch City.

Shen Junmao spent a lot of time and energy to find a way to maintain this small circle. In terms of position, the status of Dayi County is equivalent to Winterfell City and Vertical Arch City, and the town code is equivalent to the city lord, but the Qianshan Sect is a small sect and a small faction, and Shen Junmao naturally can't sit on an equal footing with the city lords of the two cities, and the cultivation of both is in the middle of the Xuan level, so he put down his body and interacted with the four towns on the verge of Dayi County.

The topic that the two sides cut into was not a matter of side plugging, this kind of topic was very sensitive, and no one could afford it, so Shen Junmao had to cultivate several special hobbies, raising birds, fishing, cultivating spiritual grass, tasting antiquities, etc., which was very important for him to intersect with the four town guards.

All parties know that these hobbies are just topics and cover-ups, and most importantly, they are related to trade in several places. Dayi County, Winterfell City, and Vertical Arch City belong to the three sects respectively, and they become horns, if the trade routes are smooth and the trade is prosperous, it is a good thing for several people. Especially the four guards, when the road is difficult, if you want to be proud of the officialdom and don't make some achievements, how can the road to the upward be smooth?

Harmony makes money.

This is the truth that Shen Junmao understood from the beginning, he is not a person who must compete with each other, and he must fight for the territory, the trade route leading to the east of Dayi County, he has opened it to small caravans from the four towns within the scope of his authority, and at the same time, he also exchanged for Dayi County, as well as the small caravans of Longbone Town in the east of Dayi County, and at the same time entered the four towns for trading, this change undoubtedly increased the type and abundance of materials in this area centered on Dayi County.

Quanling Town's specialty is Lingcao, Guanting Town's population is large, Wild Horse Town's specialty is wildebeest and other low-level beasts, Shrimp Pond Town's specialty is fish, shrimp and pearls, Keel Town's specialty animal bone fossils, plus the water jade of Guhan Town in the north, these materials can be concentrated in Dayi County, which is located in the center, and then attract larger caravans, and even formal chambers of commerce to settle in, promoting the prosperity here. In the last month, the tax revenue of commercial tax and land transfer, Dayi County has already recorded 15 second-order taxes, reaching a record high.

Shen Junmao naturally knew about the Changning Chamber of Commerce in Donghu County, and also knew that this matter was personally promoted by the head Jiang Feng, this kind of one-time investment in the Chamber of Commerce could not be sought, so in the long run, he believed that his governance strategy of "valuing harmony and sharing benefits" would definitely turn Dayi County into a dazzling pearl in the northern part of the Asa Mountain Sect.

His only concern was, on the one hand, how to continue to expand the scope of influence in Dayi County.

For example, the other towns of the Hanshan Sect, after the Guhan Town was assigned to the Qianshan Sect, the people-to-people exchanges between the two sects were not affected much, except for the people of the Hanshan Sect, there was a slight tendency to outflow to the Qianshan Sect, of course, this was a very good thing in Shen Junmao's opinion, but the official contacts between the two sects became extremely rare and hostile. It is rumored that Ma Aidu, the head of the Hanshan faction, has extremely strict control over the town guards, not only appointing cronies, but also secret agents to follow him at any time, and it is extremely difficult to make friends with the town guards of several towns under the rule of the Hanshan faction.

On the other hand, Shen Junmao was worried about the new establishment of Beimu County. Although as the junction of Luoyingmen, Chixiamen and Assayama Sect, the radiation range of Dayi County and Beimu County is not the same, but the territory of Assayama Sect is long and narrow from north to south, and slightly narrower from east to west, resulting in the distance between the two places is not far away. Therefore, how to cooperate with Beimu County for a win-win situation is an issue that must be carefully considered.

Fortunately, the construction of Kitaki-gun has just begun.

Yesterday, Shen Junmao had already seen Qiu Zhenzhen, who had made a special trip to pass by and claimed to be "inspecting" Beimu County, this lady in charge, she was really good-looking, and her cultivation was similar to herself.

The head of the sect is also sharp-eyed, knowing that his cultivation is poor, and it is a little difficult to find a serious Xuan level, this point, but he underestimates the head Jiang Feng, if he can give birth to the heir of the awakened law as soon as possible, he may be able to break the curse of "no monk heir" of the head of the Asagama Sect in the past dynasties.

Sure enough, he can bend and stretch, he is really a big husband!

Shen Junmao secretly thought that he couldn't do it, that is, a lady who was sick in order to rush to Xinna, although he was a little older, he was also a yellow flower, thinking of this, there was a faint pain in his waist, and he thought that during the noon banquet, he should communicate with the old town guard of Guanting Town, whether he should take some medicine and wine, it is said that he is also very good at this.

It's just that the head of the sect has not yet returned from the ruins of the Angry Wind Canyon, but it is a little worrying, to say that the good situation of the Ashala Sect is not easy to come by, if the head of the sect dies suddenly like the previous generation of Ren Dao, I am afraid that all the undertakings will collapse in the middle way, I don't know who can take over the management of the Asa Mountain Sect?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment, thinking that maybe it wasn't so unfortunate, so he lowered his head again and checked the arrangements for the afternoon and evening.

............

Lizong, Zhenwu City.

In the past few days, Yu Xiaozheng has been hiding in the shop of "Black Donkey Zhang" and shivering, he has not appeared at any office of the "Puzzle Brigade" for three days, and even the sect has asked someone to take leave, let alone take on any new cases.

The recent rumors have frightened him.

He didn't expect that the results of the investigation about the "Full Moon Building" that he inadvertently released could cause such a big reaction, it is said that someone has investigated the Full Moon Building overnight, but in the end nothing happened except for paying some taxes, and then someone let out the wind to find trouble for himself, and Zhu Yizhao, the "head of the family" who he took great pains to deceive, also slipped away.

The hole is wide. The moment he found out that Zhu Yizhao had escaped, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

If it weren't for the possibility of being targeted by someone with a heart when he went out, he would have found a way to run to the branch of the Asshan Sect in Dayi County, but after thinking about it, in the Li Sect, maybe someone would look at the face of the Yu family and not be ugly, but in the Asan Sect, Jiang Feng's cultivation and influence would be ......

Fortunately, there was no impulse, he thought secretly.

When he was wondering when the turmoil would dissipate, Yu Xiaoman came to the store, and before he could speak in the back hall, he discharged a lot of items from the storage bag, from medicinal herbs, to pills, to magic weapons, to talismans, except for the lack of spirit stones.

"Sister, have you made a fortune?"

"No," Yu Xiaoman looked at him quietly, "This is what you deserve." ”

"Deserved?"

"Yes, the case of the Full Moon Tower, which I asked you to investigate, now has a result. ”

"But the result is that I listened to you, made it up and leaked it. Now, someone has released a word, and I can't make an inch of cultivation if I want to beat me. ”

"You have indeed cultivated recently, and you don't need to be beaten by others. Yu Xiaoman said sarcastically, "I found someone to help you publicize the news, but in the name of your 'Puzzle Brigade', your people are not reliable at all." ”

"What......" Yu Xiaozheng's body staggered, and his body involuntarily lost his strength, "Sister, how can you harm me, I am your younger brother, my own brother!"

"Hurt you, where would you get these rewards without this investigation?"

"Who gave this thing?"

"Fourth Uncle and Sixteenth Uncle. Also, Uncle Seven also knows about this. ”

"Why are they...... Or what do you want me to do?" Thinking of the grim black face of Seventh Uncle Yu Chengke, Yu Xiaozheng couldn't help but shudder.

"Shut up. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"Yes, from now on, don't touch anything about the Full Moon Tower, and it's best not to pass by unless it's particularly necessary. ”

"Then can I go out?" Since Yu Xiaoman mentioned the "Puzzle Brigade", he immediately thought about whether this incident would have any impact on the brigade, at least, it should be more famous.

"Not yet, at least ten days after the turmoil clears. Yu Xiaoman seemed to see what Yu Xiaozheng was thinking, "Your brigade, because it spread rumors and caused a bad impact, has been banned, and President Zhao Mengjiang and Vice President Feng Jiuyang have been arrested." ”

"What?"

Yu Xiaozheng was taken aback, he couldn't help but take two steps back, leaned against the wall, looked up at the empty roof, and reluctantly turned his head to look at the messy pile of high-value items on the table, he didn't expect these things to need to sacrifice the brigade in exchange, and the only little joy left in his heart evaporated in an instant.

"Zhao Mengjiang and Feng Jiuyang are not the president and vice president at all, although they are both cadres in the brigade, but they are not wrong, the news is made up by me, the vice president. ”

"It's not important, the important thing is that the fourth uncle has already helped you get the qualification of an elite child in the clan, which is especially important for you to obtain cultivation resources and improve your cultivation later. Only by cultivating and improving can you do what you are willing to do. Xiaozheng, you have to understand that as a child of the Yu family, there is not much time left for you to indulge in fun. ”

"......" Yu Xiaozheng was about to speak and stopped, he was a little speechless.

"The auction of the Righteous Qi Alliance will be held in Xiaoting City of the Imperial Wind Sect at the end of this month, since you have lent the 'Divine Wood Thunder Talisman' to the Cui family, and they have not returned, these items are just sold for a part of them in exchange for an item of equal value. You and I, cultivators, should find a way to get a good skill book. Yu Xiaoman explained, she saw that Yu Xiaozheng's eyes were still dim, and she seemed to be unable to accept the fact that the "Puzzle Brigade" had been banned, so she continued to explain, "Moreover, they will only be imprisoned for half a year, and then you can secretly compensate them and share the benefits you get, they are all ordinary monks, and they joined the brigade for the spirit stone, isn't it?"

"Really?"

Yu Xiaozheng muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly became hollow, he remembered the days and nights of excitement when he was looking for mysteries, the laughter and scolding when he clarified the truth of the evidence, and the cheerful drink after successfully solving the mystery.

Call!

He blew the broken hair scattered on his forehead, and leaned against the wall again, his eyes were slightly moist, and he looked helplessly at Yu Xiaoman, who was usually as cold as frost, and now had a faint joy on his face, guessing that she might have also obtained a lot of cultivation resources from the operation of this matter, and even as a more advanced planner, she could get more.

And, that's exactly what she wants.

"Sister, I couldn't understand you before, but I didn't expect that you didn't understand me either. ”

............

Raging Canyon, inside the shattered ruins.

"Sacrifice this ancient treasure with blood. ”

"How much?"

"If it's just a rough sacrifice, it's not much, just a little meaning, besides, this ancient treasure has already recognized you as the master, and at the first time Yuan Chu died, you had already injected some spiritual power. ”

It turned out that this was the case, and now Jiang Feng understood why he could roughly manipulate the nearby black stones according to his mind, but now that these black stones had been buried deep in the ground according to his instinct, with Jiang Feng's ability to control the ancient treasures, it was difficult to control them again.

"This is the reason why you are still willing to cooperate with me?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, especially if I can't kill you. Yan Shujia said frankly, "However, you have to be careful that you die, then this ancient treasure will completely belong to me." Before Jiang Feng could understand the chill of these words, she had already cut her five fingers and dripped dozens of drops of blood first.

"Can it still be like this?" Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, what do you mean, but you have injected so much blood, are you lying to me?

"The difference between the ancient treasure and the magic weapon, in addition to the huge power and the heavenly dao, can also have a second master, of course, either of you and I achieve the pseudo-heaven level or the primordial infant, the other will be given up by the ancient treasure and can no longer be used, unless ......"

"Unless what?" Halfway through his words, Jiang Feng couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to find that a trace of disgust flashed in Yan Shujia's originally pure eyes.

"Forget it, something far away and impossible. Yan Shujia wanted to speak and stopped.

Forget it, Jiang Feng felt that Yan Shujia had something to hide from him, but it didn't seem to be too important, maybe this was a secret that the other party didn't want to confide, and sighed in his heart that Yan Shujia, a core disciple of a large sect, knew a lot of things, so he also concocted it according to the law, dripping the same amount of blood, and a slightly faint line gradually appeared on the ancient treasure, it was a seven-story pagoda.

"Aion!" Yan Shujia blurted out.

"What allusion?"

"It is rumored that there are thirty-six Heavenly Daos in the world, and nine of them have been refined into ancient treasures by the powerful power they possessed, and this Tower of Eternity is one of them. ”

"Can you achieve heaven level by controlling the Heavenly Dao?"

"This is necessary, but not sufficient, for you to debunk one-ninth of the world's Dan theory at the same time. ”

"How many kinds of Dan are there?"

"The numbers are changing all the time. According to my master, Ning Liheng, a half-saint of the Wei State who had achieved this cultivation in the last time, had a Taoist friend ask him about the number of Dan theories he had investigated, and he frankly admitted that there were more than seventy, and of course, he might have broken more than needed. If it is just right, then there are more than 600 kinds of Dan theory. The greater the number of investigations, the stronger the control of the Heavenly Dao. ”

"The number of surveys is still changing?"

Inferring from these two key words mentioned by Yan Shujia, Jiang Feng guessed that perhaps he had already broken one, the one that Chu Yiming voluntarily informed. In most cases, the only way to investigate is to engage in battle, or to personally teach the prefecture-level monks or Jindan monks to comprehend the Dan theory.

Although there must be a teacher in the threesome, but the monks who can teach so many monks and let them comprehend the Dan Theory and advance to the rank are either those who have attained enlightenment as soon as possible, or they are unborn geniuses.

"Thank you for being honest!"

"It's nothing, it's not very useful to you anyway. Yan Shujia was blunt, "Master once taught me that for allies, we should help each other as much as possible and share benefits, these common senses, except for this ancient treasure 'Tower of Eternity', if you look carefully, it is not difficult to know. ”

That's the difference between you and me! You are the inner circle of the Jindan monk Gazi Kingdom, and I'm ......

Jiang Feng subconsciously made a comparison, except for finding the bleakness, he did not find any psychological balance. However, for this obedient girl who is willing to listen to the words of the master, the perception has quickly improved a lot, such an ally, if he doesn't pull his legs, such as pit his own situation, of course, this can't blame him for asking God to give a few more.

"Remember, we have never obtained any ancient treasures, after I return to the Qi Kingdom, I will be carefully examined for injuries and gains, there may be hidden dangers, you are more or less a master, the ancient treasures are placed with you, it should be much safer." However, you have to give me all the things that day monk Limen. ”

"This ......"

"Otherwise, how can I explain?Did you not leave the ruins in time due to a fight with a demon clan's Xuan-level and finally let him go?" Yan Shujia's eyes widened, "Don't think that if I swore an oath, I really wouldn't dare to kill you." It's a big deal to leave you here, and then confess everything to the master, and he will definitely be able to help me find a way to remove the influence of the oath. ”

"Okay. ”

Jiang Feng sighed, the secret path cultivation is to crush people to death, for the sake of some property, the fish died and the net was broken, and it was not worth losing his life. He was a little reluctant to hand over the few storage bags that had not yet been covered to Yan Shujia, including the three storage bags on Zhou Zhenglian's body that obviously did not belong to him, Jiang Feng briefly checked one or two, and found that among the storage bags, there was a red long sword, which was the one used by Chu Anlan.

"I'm going to keep this sword. This person is my friend's father," Jiang Feng handed the rest of the storage bags to Yan Shujia, and seeing that her eyes were fluttering, she didn't seem to believe herself, so she added, "It's Chu Anlan of Lizong, and Chu Yiming, my sixth son, is a friend of life and death." ”

"Good. Hearing this, Yan Shujia seemed to believe him, and didn't think about it further, seeing that Jiang Feng still had two spirit beast bags in his hand, he pulled them over and looked at them one by one, "Sure enough, Chu Anlan's body is still inside." ”

Yes?

After Jiang Feng obtained the spirit beast bag, he didn't have time to look at it, so he took it over to check, and sure enough, in the other spirit beast bag, there was a white ape that looked like a sleeping demon beast.

Jiang Feng understood what Yan Shujia was doing, and it was really difficult for her to lie empty-handed, for a leader in the door. But the temptation of Gu Bao, even if she couldn't be sacrificed in a short period of time, was enough to make her heart move. Even if Yan Shujia is a good girl, she will not confide in her master on this issue.

I didn't expect that as the head of the house, this time I had a little advantage of "not being inspected by others", otherwise judging from the cultivation of the two people and the current situation, this ancient treasure, even if he has already taken the lead in the first step of cultivation, most of them will be left in the hands of Jindan monk Yan Shujia. Seeing that Yan Shujia had reactivated the portal, the light blue portal reappeared.

"Let's go!"

Before Jiang Feng could refuse, Yan Shujia had already grabbed him and rushed directly into the portal.
