Chapter 1312: The Master is here
In the days that Lou Yi stayed in Jihuang Pavilion, in addition to pointing out Xu Jinling's confusion in cultivation, he spent other times consolidating the way of fusion of the five elements, because the battle with the remnant soul of Xiangliu Jiuying made him understand his weakness again.
Different environments need to rely on different means, the so-called skills are not pressing, of course, the same hole cards also need to be sharpened accordingly, so that they can really play their due strength.
During this period, Lou Yi tried to study the Polar Ice Dao given by the Kiss, but unfortunately, this seems to require a special bloodline, which means that he can only truly exert the power of this Extreme Ice Dao after fusing with the Ice Cockroach.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, this may be a reminder from the Kiss of the Cheek, but even if he couldn't exert his true power, it also greatly improved the power of his Xuanying Ice Determination.
He even had a new understanding of the way of ice, these were obvious improvements, and he had received a promise from Ji Huangge through Xu Jinling that he would cooperate with him in fighting the vassal forces of the Beast Control Palace if necessary.
Behind every big power stands all kinds of families and interest groups, and when a force is large enough to change the balance of power in a region, it will have to pay a great price if it wants to fight against it, or even change the dynasty.
Because if the Beast Control Palace falls, then even these surrounding families and interest groups will also face the threat of reshuffling, which they cannot allow.
Lou Yi would not be naïve to think that he would be able to disintegrate his forces just by attacking the Beast Control Palace, this was a difficult and extraordinary war, and he needed to devote all his strength to deal with it.
And while facing the Beast Control Palace, he also needs enough strength to deal with accidents that may occur at any time, after all, the mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, this kind of thing can happen at any time and anywhere, not to mention attacking such a huge force as the Beast Control Palace.
Lou Yi's idea is to first completely envelop the Beast Control Palace with a formation, so that outsiders can't peek into what is happening inside, they can only enter the formation if they want to see it, and once they come in, it will be equivalent to declaring war on the Immortal Tower, and then he will have no scruples.
The presiding over of the formation needs to be completed by three people, so Lou Yi needs the help of Zhuge Shisheng and Qian Linglong, and the rest is left to others to deal with.
After a while, Shen Wansan sent someone to inform him, saying that the person he was waiting for had arrived, and at the same time told him that there was a surprise waiting for him to come and see in person, and Lou Yi didn't know what medicine this guy was selling in his stomach, so he said goodbye to Xu Jinling and rushed back to Nuozhou.
Now that Nuozhou has changed the sky, Shen Wansan, together with Peng Luzhong and Qian Fu, each performed their duties, and drove out all the rich people in the world led by Tao Yiwan out of Nuozhou.
The victory of Nuozhou means that the business of the twenty-seven states in this area of Zhongzhou will be completely controlled by the whole world, and the war naturally needs money and food, so Shen Wansan has been busy these days.
After Lou B returned to Nuozhou, he came to the most representative Changxian Lou in Nuozhou, and now Changxian Lou has changed its ownership and changed its course to become the territory of Qianfu, for the restaurant inn business, Qian Fu has a unique talent, so this Changxian Lou and the restaurant inn in Nuozhou and the surrounding areas are under his control.
Some monks who originally belonged to the rich world, also under Shen Wansan's instigation, changed their course and followed them, which greatly reduced the losses caused by the loss of personnel, but because of the lessons of the world, Shen Wansan and his younger brother studied a new system to curb the rights of the big shopkeeper and the head of the branch.
At the same time, Shen Wansan set up a dark cabinet to check the monthly flow of these controllers, if there is a big omission, he will immediately take action, and quickly cut through the chaos to solve these troubles.
In the end, Huitong World fell, the Shen family ceased to exist, and even the two brothers could only defect to Lou Yi in order to make a comeback, so after learning from the pain, the two brothers spent great effort to change the system of dominating the world, and integrated the reward and punishment system into the merit building of Wenxian Lou, and severely punished any shopkeeper who filled his own pockets, and would not tolerate it once it was discovered.
At the beginning, everyone complained about Shen Wansan's regulations, after all, there are rules, and these unspoken rules have been implemented in the Kunwu realm for an unknown number of years, and they even think that Shen Wansan's skin is unreasonable, and the iron rooster is not plucked.
However, after years of practice, these shopkeepers have changed their views, because in the past, even if they were full of private pockets, they could only do it secretly, and they still needed to tear down the east wall to make up for the deficit in the west wall, and even sometimes the deficit was large, and they also needed to spend effort to make false accounts.
Some of the things they fancy are expensive because they are expensive, even if they are secretly sipped, it takes a lot of effort, but now when their efforts are connected with the merit building, in addition to their respective remuneration, they will also give corresponding merit points according to their performance.
With these points, they can exchange for any good things they want in the Immortal Building, and there are even many precious things that are difficult to see on the market, such as martial arts books, pills that improve the purity of spiritual veins, and heavenly treasures.
The reason why these people are willing to run and manage the shop is nothing more than for money, and after making money, what about it? Naturally, it is for the next generation to be able to make a living, and no longer rely on others to send people under the fence like they do.
Therefore, the merit building can help them realize their wishes in life, and naturally improve their enthusiasm even more, this is the reform of the two Shen brothers, and I have to say that the effect of this system is surprisingly good.
Lou Yi came to the top floor of Changxian Building, at this time everyone was waiting for his arrival, Lou Yi had just entered Changxian Building, he heard a hearty laughter, followed by his scolding voice, "Stinky boy, your wings are hard, dare to talk to Shizun like this!"
After that, Li Dou's laughter, Lou Yi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes locked on an old man with a bald head and white beard and a scruffy beard, for some reason Lou Yi's eyes instantly turned red, he rushed up with a brisk step, fell to his knees with a plop, and shouted loudly, "Master!"
This sudden scene stunned everyone present, even the bearded old man was startled, but he immediately scolded, "Bastard, you scare Lao Tzu, hurry up!"
The two looked at each other at the same time, and what Lou Yi saw was a face that had been through vicissitudes, covered with traces left by the years, and his breath was still at the level of the merger period, and he did not impact into the Mahayana realm as he said.
This old man is a man, he has not heard from him for nearly a thousand years since he said goodbye to the sea of Wu, and today he is standing in front of him again, but the domineering master in the past is now a hero with gray hair.
Perhaps seeing the confusion in Lou Yi's eyes, Man Qianjun smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You two stinky boys are out of luck now, which proves that Lao Tzu's vision is still tricky and vicious, hahahahahaha......"
In the hearty laughter, Lou Yi seemed to remember the past again, at this time Li Dou also stepped forward, and took it in front of him, and the three of them hugged each other, Lou Yi choked for a long time before asking, "Where have you been all these years......?"
Man Qianjun trembled, and said helplessly, "When I left you, I didn't want you to be implicated, and I wanted to work hard in the end, but it turned out that the teacher was really not that material, and it caused Brother Ape to die......
Lou Yi and Li Dou were shocked at the same time, and asked in unison, "What?
Man Qianjun sighed and told everything in the past, it turned out that after he left the Wufu Sea, he wandered around without a fixed place, trying to find a glimmer of opportunity to break through the shackles, but the time of wandering for hundreds of years has worn out his patience and hope.
Somewhat self-defeating, he plunged into the depths of the Helian Mountains, only to get into a catastrophe, and the Bone Splitting Demon Ape did everything he could to protect his life, but broke the contract with Barbarian Qianjun before he died.
In the end, Man Qianjun was rescued by the demon monkeys of the ape clan, perhaps for the sake of the Broken Bone Demon Ape, they left Man Qianjun in the territory where the ape saint was located, until recently I heard that the demon clan in Beizhou had signed a new contract with the human race, and the contract was signed by his apprentice.
Thinking that he had heard it wrong, he repeatedly inquired with the ape clan, and after confirming that it was correct, he asked the ape saint to send him away from the Helian Mountains and to the Thousand Machines City created by the disciples now, and then he stayed in the Thousand Machines City and waited for them to return.
It wasn't until Liming returned to Qianji City with Lou Yi's order and began to dispatch troops that Man Qianjun followed them back to Zhongzhou and followed Li Dou to Nuozhou.
The two of them sighed at what happened to Manqianjun, and at the same time wanted to do their filial piety, so the delicacies of the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies can be said to be taken and supplied.
After that, Lou Yi hurriedly sent someone to inform Tu Xiao of the news that he had come to Nuozhou, Tu Xiao was excited, and rushed back non-stop, and the two old friends were full of swear words as soon as they met, and even fought hard.
It's just that today's Man Qianjun is no longer Tu Xiao's opponent, but the two still fight extremely fiercely, if they are not familiar with the personalities of the two, I am afraid that they will think that the two of them have some deep hatred.
The tired two lay on the floor, looking up at the sky, and then choked together, and then the two got up, hugged each other fiercely, patted each other's backs, and when the two separated, they saw each other's blue noses, swollen faces and nosebleeds, and laughed wantonly as if they were stupid.
Lou Yi and Li Dou saw everything in their eyes, they looked at each other and smiled, the return of the Beast Control Palace meant that the plan of the Beast Control Palace had to be advanced, and then Lou Yi went to the Refining Mountain where Huo Yan was.
Everything is ready, and now comes the most important move, and there is no room for failure!
