Chapter 377: Choice
After the middle-aged Confucian and the red-clothed boy left, under the guidance of the white-robed old man and the white-haired old woman, the cross-sea boat quickly flew towards the center of the island.
Not long after, the boat stopped at a cyan peak hundreds of feet high in the middle of the island, and the cyan peak was full of large and small pavilions and courtyards.
"All the disciples listened to the order, and the imperial weapon flew down, hurry up. ”
With the order of a blue-robed man with a red face full of light, all the disciples on the ship flew out of the cross-sea boat one after another and landed at the foot of the mountain.
After all the disciples landed at the foot of the mountain, the blue-robed big man and several other monks of the Yudan period also landed on the ground, only to see the blue-robed big man pinching the trick with one hand, and the cross-sea boat trembled slightly, and his body size shrank rapidly, and it didn't take long for it to become the size of a palm, and he flew into the sleeve of the blue-robed big man and disappeared.
At the foot of the mountain, dozens of blue-shirted disciples had been waiting for a long time, and standing at the front was a middle-aged man with a simple face.
"Sun Yang, they are the disciples sent by the chief helm, you arrange for them to stay and try your best to meet their needs," the white-robed old man pointed to Wang Changsheng and the others, and commanded at the honest man.
"Senior brothers, junior sisters, and junior nephews, you can tell me if you need anything," the honest man grinned at Wang Changsheng and the others, and said with his hand.
The majestic gaze of the white-robed old man swept over Wang Changsheng and the others, and he said in a deep voice. "Ladies and nephews, it's getting late now, you stay here for one night, and I'll take you to the deacon's hall tomorrow to arrange follow-up affairs, well, it's best not to run around if it's okay, after all, you are not familiar with the situation of the rudder, if you have something to find Sun Yang, he will help you solve it." ”
"Disciple understands," everyone replied in unison.
Seeing this, the white-robed old man nodded with satisfaction.
Next, the blue-robed man and several monks of the Dan period gave a few more words, and then left with the white-robed old man.
"Everybody come with me," the honest man smiled at the crowd.
He then led the group to the building on the hill and arranged a place for them to live, and of course, the monk had the right of first choice.
Anyway, it was just for one night, Wang Changsheng didn't pay much attention to it, and stayed in a two-story bamboo building.
Wang Changsheng sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, closing his eyes and recuperating.
The next morning, a deep voice came into Wang Changsheng's ears:
"All the disciples in the foundation building period come out, the old man will take you to the deacon hall, and the disciples in the qi refining period will stay in the residence, and they will be arranged later. ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Changsheng opened his eyes, got out of bed and walked out.
A red wooden boat seven or eight zhang long was suspended in mid-air, the white-robed old man and the blue-robed man stood in front of the wooden boat, and around the red wooden boat, dozens of blue-shirted disciples were suspended in mid-air.
One after another, the foundation building monks released flying magic weapons or spirit birds and flew into the air.
As soon as Wang Changsheng's sleeves were raised, the snow wind boat flashed out and levitated in front of him.
Seeing that his figure flickered, he jumped into the Snow Wind Boat, and after hitting a magic decision on the Snow Wind Boat, the Snow Wind Boat turned into a white light, and the two flashes arrived not far in front of the white-robed old man.
After the last foundation building monk also flew into the air, the white-robed old man controlled the red wooden boat and led everyone to fly southwest.
A quarter of an hour later, the white-robed old man led hundreds of foundation-building monks to land in front of a black hall more than thirty zhang high.
There is a silver plaque hanging on the door of the main hall, with three golden characters written on the surface: "Deacon's Palace", and there is a faint spiritual light circulating on it.
As soon as they entered the gate, Wang Changsheng and the others all gasped.
In front of me is a wide hall more than ten zhang high and thirty acres in size, and there is a bluestone stone step leading to the second floor on the left side of the door.
The walls of the hall are carved with topographic maps similar to islands, and on the wall facing the entrance is a huge island, on which are carved the three golden characters "Taiqing Island".
This map of "Taiqing Island" is depicted in great detail, from the name of the port to the name of the island, near Taiqing Island, there are dense small black dots, take a closer look, these black dots are also islands, but they are smaller than Taiqing Island.
Maps of three large islands are carved on the left and right walls, and around each large island, there are dense islets.
On these islands, there are golden, white, and black spiritual light flashing, the number of black light is relatively large, the golden light is the most dazzling, and the white light shines very differently, some are extremely dazzling, and some only emit a faint light.
Some islands have only one golden light, others are all white, some are all three, and some are all black.
There was a yellow wooden table three or four meters long in the hall, and seven blue-shirted disciples sat at the yellow wooden table, each holding a silver jade plate and a golden jade pen in their hands. ”
The white-robed old man nodded, turned his head and said to the disciples behind him:
"Ladies and nephews, the hall of the deacon's hall is the place to choose the cave house, the light point means that there is a spiritual vein in that place, and the black point means that it is inhabited, but you can only choose the place where the white light is shrouded, the golden light is the cave house of the monks above the Dan period, the more dazzling the white light, the higher the quality of the spiritual vein, and the richer the aura of heaven and earth, you can choose by yourself. ”
"Uncle Liu, are these areas the territory of this sect?" a young man asked in disbelief as he looked at the seven huge maps, his eyes full of shock.
The white-robed old man nodded and said, "That's right, although this is just a rudder, it occupies seven large islands, and the spirit stones, minerals, spirit grass, and spirit grass obtained by this rudder every year Spirit beasts and other immortal cultivation resources, more than ninety percent are obtained from these seven large islands, each island has a large number of affiliated islands, the number is hundreds to thousands of more than one, all the islands add up to two thousand two hundred and twenty-two, these islands need to have immortal cultivators in charge, the resident monks are determined according to the resources of the island, the richer the resources, the higher the cultivation of the resident monks, and vice versa. ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces were full of shock, one rudder actually occupied 2,222 islands, this is also too terrifying! The next moment, everyone's eyes on the light spots on the map became more and more intense.
"Dare to ask Uncle Liu, how much rent do these caves need to pay every year, and what is the charging standard?" a young man with a white face took two steps forward and asked.
"It's all free, but if you choose a small island without spiritual mines and elixirs to make a cave, you can pay for the spirit stones that maintain the formation, but your teachers and nephews have just arrived, and you still live with other people, of course, if any of you want to monopolize an island and be a small island owner, the old man will not object, in addition, the old man reminds you, in addition to Taiqing Island, the other six large islands, where the white light is dazzling, there will be a battle every ten years, if you are defeated by the challenger, then your cave will belong to the other party, The white-robed old man explained slowly.
"Uncle Liu, the disciple would like to ask how much space can be opened up in the place shrouded in white light, and is there any limit," a woman in green asked.
"With your cave mansion as the center, within a radius of ten miles is your private range, you can arrange formations and prohibitions at will, as long as you have that ability, okay, if there is no problem, you can choose the cave mansion! Master Li and nephew will register for you, and after you choose it, go to the second floor, and I will wait for you on the second floor," the white-robed old man said lightly.
Hearing this, everyone was a little eager to try, but no one acted immediately, and all the disciples' eyes were focused on the blue-robed man next to the white-robed old man.
"If you are asked to choose together, the seven divisions and nephews of the rudder may not be busy, well, let's choose according to the ranking order of this list!
The disciple understood, "Naturally, everyone didn't dare to say no, so they agreed.
Seeing this, the blue-robed man nodded with satisfaction, handed the letter to a round-faced man at the yellow wooden table, and then walked to the second floor with the white-robed old man.
The round-faced man spread out the letter paper and shouted loudly: "If I read the name below, please come forward and choose the cave mansion, Murong Bing, Wang Changsheng, Li Xiang, Chen Beixuan, Liu Guang, and Li He." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Changsheng and Murong Bing immediately walked out of the crowd and walked towards the wall, and the six blue-shirted disciples behind the round-faced man hurriedly followed, each following one person.
Wang Changsheng stood in front of a large island called Xingluo Island, his gaze swept over the white points of light.
There are many places where the white light is dazzling, but most of them are on Xingluo Island, and a small part is on small and medium-sized islands.
There are not many light spots on the small and medium-sized islands, only one at the least, and more than two dozen points, which shows that there are not many people living on the small and medium-sized islands.
If Wang Changsheng wanted to practice behind closed doors, he could just stay in the Taiqing Palace, there was no need to go overseas, so he didn't plan to live on small and medium-sized islands.
Wang Changsheng's gaze quickly swept through the white light on Xingluo Island, and after a while, his gaze stopped on a building called Jinyang Peak in the southwest of Xingluo Island.
There were nine golden rays of light on Xingluo Island, each of which shrouded a large mountain peak, and in addition, there were more than five hundred peaks shrouded in white light.
The location of Jinyang Peak selected by Wang Changsheng is relatively remote, but it is relatively close to a market on the island, if he wants to buy animal skins to refine blank rune paper, it is also more convenient, in addition, this Jinyang Peak is close to the sea, he can also hunt demon beasts on the seaside, of course, the reason why Wang Changsheng chose this Jinyang Peak is because the exercise he practices is "Jinyang Gong", Jinyang Peak carries the word Jinyang, and he is favored by him.
"I choose Jin Yang Peak," Wang Changsheng pointed to the markers on the map and said to the blue-shirted disciple beside him.
"Jinyang Peak, three hundred zhang high, has a three-mile-long medium-grade spiritual vein, a hundred miles away from the sea, junior brother really wants to choose here?" asked the golden jade pen in the blue-shirted disciple's hand after gesturing on the silver jade plate for a while.
