Chapter 355: Don't miss a good opportunity
The senior brother who delivered the letter in front of him looked quite handsome, Yan Shujia had a little impression of him, knowing that his name was Qi Xuanrong, and he was a child with good qualifications in the head of the family. However, she didn't have any intersection with the other party, although this person claimed to have been to the ruins of Venerable Yuanchu with her, but Yan Shujia didn't have any impression of this, and thought that he might not have met at that time, so he didn't take it to heart.
However, the visitor sent a letter from the sect, Yan Shujia asked a few words, only to know that this person is now on an errand in the law enforcement hall, so he took the letter for the first time, and found himself, and personally sent it over, Yan Shujia glanced at the small words on it, and at the same time that the thoughts in his heart were rolling, his face did not change color, but a ladylike smile, Wen Yan thanked the other party, and then ignored the man's reluctant gaze, and went out of the library alone, and quickly returned to his residence.
The decision of this "punishment" came quickly, it can be seen that the sect attaches great importance to her position in Tianlimen and her performance in the battle of the Seven Alliances, as the first person of the Qi State monk involved in it, she thinks that she is not skilled enough, failed to deal with this crisis in time, and failed to report the situation to the sect in time, which she fully agrees with in her heart, and is also ready to be punished heavily.
However......
Without special approval, they are not allowed to leave the sect for half a year;
During this period, they are required to serve ten days of labor in the library every month, and will not receive contributions from the sect, nor will they be paid the salaries of the sect;
Before the expiration of the penalty period, the contribution of the sect will be halved for the magic weapons that have been handed over and need to be handed over;
For five years, without the special approval of the sect, it is not allowed to form a Taoist relationship with anyone.
This punishment is a bit light, with Yan Shujia's understanding of the Zongmen Law Enforcement Hall, two years of confinement, and even the need to stay in the "forbidden foothills" This uninhabited place is very likely, however, this punishment is not only short-lived, but also needs to work in the library pavilion, the problem is, entering the library more than three floors, are to pay tribute, so he is ordered to work here, isn't it possible to consult the classics for free in his free time?
It's not so much a punishment as a reward.
Also, what the hell is it that you are not allowed to form a Taoist relationship with anyone for five years? As far as she knows, no one seems to have been punished like this for more than ten years, in other words, which law enforcement deacon has to add such a strange punishment to himself? Could it be that it is the master who is secretly exerting influence in it? When leaving the ruins, Master Qi Zhengfeng found Jiang Feng's traces, and asked himself, he just confided in a little trace, and the master became angry, intending to give Jiang Feng some color to see, if it wasn't for his own intercession, maybe the master would be heavy-handed, is it possible, the master was afraid that I would be with Jiang Feng, so he found someone to add such a one?
No, the master himself was fined two years' salary because the professor had no way, could it be that he still had extra face to intercede for himself, and even added a clause that only he would mind?
It's strange everywhere.
Yan Shujia felt that there was something unusual about this, and after thinking for a moment, he went to the big treasury of the sect and asked the big treasury manager if the magic weapon he handed in was worth it, and the big warehouse manager in the brown robe recognized this brilliant person, and after a while, he took out the account with a smile.
"Eighteen magic weapons, a total of 2,800 points of tribute. ”
"That's 1,400 points, right?" Yan Shujia remembered that he had been punished for halving his contributions.
"No, it's halved. The brown-robed steward handed over the accounts, and at the same time glanced at it, "Senior Yan, the magic weapon you handed in this time looks to be of good quality, you see, this third-order high-grade long stick has two thousand points of tribute, and those iron roosters will rarely give such a high evaluation." It's a pity, I heard that you have been wronged and punished by the sect, if you want me to say, who wouldn't make a mistake......"
While nagging, he circled several items in the list, "According to the rules of the Great Treasury, those who hand in the magic weapons at one time in exchange for more than 2,000 points of tribute can choose items with a total price of no more than 400 points from the items handed in." Senior Yan, please!"
The assessed value, with the exception of a few items, is almost at the upper limit. Yan Shujia's ears sounded the chatter of the big warehouse steward, but she was thinking about this incomprehensible question in her heart, she had never encountered such special treatment. To say that the magic weapons she handed in this time are of good quality, it is true, after all, they are all used by monks of the same level as herself, the long stick magic weapon used by Ma Shikai of Tianlimen, and even has a tool spirit, but to say that it is worth so many sect tributes, she does not believe it, the two-headed demon dog instrument spirit she has carefully examined, although it has a special role in detecting the track according to the smell, but the combat power is quite poor, and the nature of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, once the master falls into the headwind, he will have no fighting spirit, this, in the last moment of the ruins, she also has a deep understanding, if this instrument spirit can be a little braver at that time, maybe who wins and who loses, it is not yet known。
Yan Shujia finally selected the "Water Dragon Order Banner" and the "Vast True Fire Talisman Box" that can automatically generate talismans, the two add up to exactly 358 points of tribute, which is in line with the rules of the sect treasury
Actually, after the magic sword was re-refined, she no longer needed these two low-grade magic weapons, but when she saw these two old things, all kinds of unforgettable pictures of fighting the enemy with Jiang Feng appeared in front of her eyes, and the warm and moist feeling arose, making her feel that she was no longer alone, as if, the back of him was slightly thin, and he had always been by her side.
............
After dealing with the magic weapon in his hand in the Duobao Pavilion, Jiang Feng went to Yu Xiaozheng's residence, unlike the Chu family and the Xiao family, the main industry of the Yu family was in Dongji City, so Jiang Feng did not have the opportunity to visit the Yu Mansion, of course, Yu Xiaoman's sister and brother had never invited him to go.
"You're fast!" Yu Xiaozheng saw at a glance that Jiang Feng's cultivation was improving, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but I'm going to call you a senior." ”
"How can it, I haven't seen you for a few months, hasn't your cultivation also grown a lot?" Jiang Feng also discovered Yu Xiaozheng's improvement, but compared to the self who has improved a realm, his entry is not the same, these children of big families, as long as they have good qualifications and are nourished by rich resources, they can quickly improve at the spiritual level and the early stage of the Xuan level, but after the Xuan level, because they pay too much attention to safety, they rarely have the opportunity to take risks, but most of them lose their first-mover advantage.
That's right, you have your own wealth and wealth, why bother to fight for your life?
From another point of view, Jiang Feng thought that he would also be content with the status quo, it all depended on fate.
"I can't compare, I can't compare, you're all crazy. ”
"Why do you say you?" As soon as Jiang Feng's words came out, he felt a familiar aura, it was Yu Xiaoman, who was still cold, she didn't wear a veil today, she glanced at Jiang Feng hurriedly, felt the aura of his prefecture, and her expression was much darker, "I didn't expect you to really have a relationship with the Great Dao." ”
"My sister has been cultivating, and she went to the spirit ruins for a short time, and then she stabilized at the fifth level of the Xuan level, you are good, it is really shocking. Yu Xiaozheng pouted on the side, "Sister, do you think it's better for us to call him Master Jiang, or Senior Jiang?"
"Don't be poor. Yu Xiaoman glanced at him, and the gloom in his eyes dissipated a lot, "Jiang Feng, you came just in time, the matter of the Begonia Sanren Mansion already has an eyebrow." ”
Jiang Feng expected that Yu Xiaoman would mention this matter, but he didn't expect her to be so straightforward, "You have already found all the candidates for the monk?" Originally, the reason why Jiang Feng did not explicitly refuse this matter was because this Haitang Sanren Mansion was suspected to be related to the disappearance of the ninth generation of the head of Ren Dao, but when he was with the situation book before, among the secrets that he heard by chance, this place seemed to be extremely dangerous, so Jiang Feng decided to go to the prefecture level and make plans again, but now, when he reached the prefecture level, he was a little hesitant.
Let me do things are important, but compared to taking risks to pursue the old traces, everything is the last word, this is Jiang Feng's biggest feeling after being promoted to the prefecture level, live in the present, focus on tomorrow, self-denial is better than asking for others, in comparison, he is more concerned about things related to the Vati Gate, where the mystery of his life experience is buried, and let me go, although he fell in the Haitang Sanren Mansion, he may not necessarily carry the relevant records with him. A dead person can't be divined, let alone searched for souls.
And the reason why Yu Xiaoman is interested in the Begonia Sanren Mansion is actually that he doubts that this person has mastered the cross-type law phase before his death, and he is proficient in the magic skills of the law phase, which is really not Jiang Feng's focus. In other words, even if there is a dilemma of his wife Su Jin's cultivation now, Su Jin is a difference in law, not a need to learn across categories, which are completely different things.
"There are three people from the Yu family, one prefecture-level, and me, and one Xuan-level monk, plus you, and two Xuan-level monks from the Imperial Wind Sect. ”
"Imperial Wind Sect?"
"Yes, it is the Imperial Wind Sect, although this place is in the sea of rocks and belongs to the ownerless territory, but in fact, each sect has a division. Going here to investigate, we can bypass the surrounding sects in the short term, but when we visit a cave mansion, the movement of breaking the formation must be not small, so this trip also needs to work closely with the Imperial Wind Sect. ”
"Who are they?"
"I can't talk about it yet. ”
"That ......"
"Do you mean to be safe, you can rest assured, I was originally a prefecture-level monk of the Yu family, I was still a little worried, but now that you have also been promoted to the prefecture-level, I guess this trip is more certain, Haitang Sanren, after all, he was only a ground-level monk in life, and there will not be too much danger. ”
"What about the date?"
"On October 28, we met in Lizhou City. ”
"Can I not go?"
"You have promised me before, as the head of the house, you should be true to your word. Moreover, this matter is rarely taken seriously by the elders of the Yu family, and they specially sent additional people to break the formation, this kind of opportunity is extremely rare, I advise you not to miss the opportunity. ”
I didn't promise you, it was because I accidentally fell into your trap, Jiang Feng secretly thought, but October 28, more than a month away from this time, if you can solve your current problem, you can also take a trip, but the current preparation is not enough......
"But there's one thing, I'd like you to help you figure it out. Jiang Feng had an extra "Shallow Mountain Situation Map" in his hand, but this map was unusually large, and it would be in the eastern part of the Li Sect
Most of the territory, as well as the hometown of the Seven Alliances, south to Qing Yuzong are clearly marked, the reason why he came to the Yu family is to use the shortcut of the Yu family to open up the connection with Lizong, hoping that Lizong can meddle in the affairs of "Xinyuan County", and now, Zuo can force Su Liqing to submit, and Lizong is a force on the surface.
Jiang Feng explained his thoughts one by one, and clarified the stakes he understood, for Li Zong, the two battles of the Seven Alliances basically did not take any advantage, but were invaded by the forces of Tianlimen and Qi State, I have to say that this is a potential threat.
"You completely misunderstood. ”
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaoman directly said something that hit morale, "Here," she circled the surroundings of the Seven Alliances' hometown, including the Qianshan Sect and the Black Water Gate Hometown, with a red pen, "It's not an area that the Li Sect needs to care about, from my point of view, our interests are here." She once again demarcated two areas, one was the southern part of the Ruijin Gate, the Imperial Wind Sect and the Covering Sea Gate, and the other was the three small sects near the Li family in the West Sea, "The withering of the Seven Alliances is not only the factor of the monks, but also the spiritual land, without the spiritual land, it is of little value, even if it increases the benefits of the merchants, it is slightly inferior." ”
"Of course, this is just a little bit of my personal thought, as for what the family elders think, I will communicate with you as soon as possible. But ......"
"But what?" Jiang Feng looked at her suspiciously, and there seemed to be lingering confusion on Yi Qing's cold face.
"Even if you succeed, you have to be prepared to pay a sufficient price. There are not so many good things in the world to build a nest and attract phoenixes, the most important thing is to win the benefits, and you, although you have reached the prefecture level, you still can't get on the stage in front of Lizong. ”
Although these words hurt people, they were reasonable, Jiang Feng thought that he had been mentally prepared, but he was still injured by Yu Xiaoman, who had sharp eyes, and was injured by seven inches again.
............
"Don't miss a chance. ”
Well?
Yan Shujia looked at the person in front of her inexplicably, this woman with fair complexion and two golden hairpins inserted in her temples was her mother Chu Mingxin. She usually lives in seclusion in this mountain, but she does not neglect to take care of herself because of her remote location, and sometimes, Yan Shujia, who has light makeup or even no makeup, stands with her, and sometimes feels ashamed of herself.
"Jia'er, you have someone you fell in love with at first sight, yes or no?"
"This ...... Mother...... Me?"
"My beautiful child has finally grown up. Chu Mingxin got up from the futon with a smile, slowly leaned over, and the jade hand moved carefully on Yan Shujia's short hair, with a look of pity, Yan Shujia walked all the way, and the ends of the hair that were blown up were tidied up, "Tell me, what kind of person is our Jia'er's crush?"
"Boss. ”
Chu Mingxin's jade hand trembled obviously, and the expression on his face changed suddenly, "Qi Hengtai can't do it." ”
"It's not the head of the sect, it's the head of a foreign sect. ”
"I see, I'm too worried about my mother. Chu Mingxin's face turned slightly pale, "To be specific, what kind of entry has the cultivation reached, and can I get married?"
"Jiang Feng, the head of the Ashala Sect, is a newcomer to the prefecture level, is he married...... I forgot to ask. ”
"It's a demon?"
"Yes......" Yan Shujia whispered, "So...... Master, his old man didn't approve of us being together. ”
"What qualifications does he have to disagree?" Chu Mingxin snorted, "Does he Qi Zhengfeng have the courage?" Chongguan Yuanying gave up halfway, afraid of wolves and tigers, only monarchs and ministers in his heart, no courage left, only fragments and remnants, thousands of thoughts and all things can not be done!"
"Mother, what do you say Master......" Yan Shujia is a little unclear So, in my impression, my mother has never said this about Master Qi Zhengfeng, what's wrong today, in other words, although Master Chongguan Yuanying has not succeeded, but my mother has also stayed in the middle of Jindan for more than ten years, and the speed of cultivation is not as good as Master.
"Jia'er, you are in charge of this matter, don't be influenced by outsiders. ”
"Mother, you agree...... I'm with the demons?"
"This is natural. But, Jia'er, are you really right?" Chu Ming thought of this, and suddenly felt that he should check for his daughter in advance, in case he met a scumbag like Qi Hengtai, or a soft bone like Qi Zhengfeng, wouldn't he be like himself, and miss half his life?
What kind of character is that Jiang Feng? Chu Mingxin suddenly became interested.
............
Lizong, Zhenwu City.
Jiang Feng sent a message of worship and asked to see Chu Yiming, it was not much time before the wedding date on September 26, Jiang Feng was originally suffering from not having a suitable gift, but Yin Du suddenly came to visit and gave him a pair of gloves, but it was just right to use, this magic weapon that can increase the power of a variety of spells looks very suitable for Chu Yiming.
As usual, he was waiting for the steward Huang Dong to come out to greet him, but a magnificent horneous carriage covered by a curtain came from afar, and the carriage stopped at the side gate of the Chu Mansion, and soon a slightly fat but not plump maid came to help a woman in white clothes to win the snow.
Well?
Jiang Feng's eyes lit up, but he found that he didn't know him.
