By the beginning of July of the third year of Zhengtai, I had been able to refine the high-grade Soul Rejuvenation Pill, and the "Poison Spectrum" had described one-third of it; the three of them had also entered the coastal waters of the Western Great Wilderness Continent, and the ships patrolling, trading, and fishing on the ocean were gradually becoming denser. Soon we saw a bustling harbor and ranch-like fishing grounds on the edge of the sea.

"Most of these port cities are leased by my sect, and they have been cut out of the territory of the Western Wilderness countries. On the one hand, our sect occupies the ointment of the Western Wilderness, and on the other hand, it destroys the mountains and rivers between the nations, so that the land of various countries is intertwined and entangled, and no one can dominate. ”

Liu Ziyue proudly pointed me to a fishing ground,

"What do you see in that glittering sea?"

I opened my senses, it was twilight, but the sea for nearly a hundred miles was as bright as day, and there were fish-like shellfish pickers in the sea of light.

"This shellfish farm within a radius of 100 miles is actually a pearl of the night!"

I couldn't help but be amazed. Hongchen people mostly use kerosene for lighting, not only the smoke is choking, but also the light is dim; the night pearl is clean and bright, bright and warm for a long time, but it is necessary for the shellfish pickers to find it hard, the price is high and scarce, and only the rich families and military ships can afford it. When I was young, I heard that Kunlun never lacked such treasures, and today I saw my Zongdang fish fry breeding, so I believed it.

"It's a pity that the trade between the Western Wilderness and Middle Earth is inconvenient, and the sect can't use it like many night pearls, but it is cheap to send the people of the Western Wilderness at a discount, which is not cost-effective. Our sect has also planted and raised more treasures in the Western Wilderness, and opening the Middle Earth market is a huge profit. I once asked Yan Zhangmen to open the island chain along the way to the world, and build a land bridge across two continents. But the head of the house blocked my good words with the security of the territory. Then come near to the master, and you will say these things for me. ”

Yanagiko crosses the road.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if I were the head of the sect, I would never move the island chain of the sect to transport goods, but trade can indeed be used to increase the well-being of the world, increase the reputation of the sect, and maybe raise another group of island chains, but also need the real people of the Presbyterian Church and Yuan Ying to assist - but how can the high-ranking people be the errand for Liu Ziyue to make money.

"Senior Brother Liu is not an elder of the elders, he can speak freely in the elders' council, this is a good thing for both the sect and the world. ”

I kicked the ball.

"Presbyterians are the most senior. Jin Dan, who attended the Council of Elders, was not allowed to discuss casually at the meeting. The senior elders can only answer what they ask. Like Liu Ziyue, whatever Le Zhenren says, he can applaud first, and he will not speak out at the elders' meeting if he is given ten guts. What's more, Le Zhenren is a person who doesn't mind the benefits of Hongchen at all. ”

Yin Yuanyuan mocked.

"So, we're going to bypass the Council of Elders and go straight to the path of the head of the Dharma. After the matter is completed, the original junior brother also has a big share of profits. ”

Yanagiko crosses the road.

I mumbled a few words. The organizational structure of Kunlun poured out from the depths of memory.

My sect is different from the Sword Sect: the Sword Sect is all from the Wanliyun Patriarch, he is the ancestor, the head, and the emperor as one person, and there is no one in the Three Realms, and the elders are all his cultivated disciples, which are like auxiliaries, and they can only raise their heads slightly when they are reappointed every thirty years, but now they are in chaos, and the discipline is sluggish, and each faction does its own thing;

The Kunlun Sect was not created by the whole patriarch alone, but a group of far-sighted alchemists who gathered together to resist the external demons and rob the pill and seize the treasure. It's just that our sect has successively returned to the void like the whole patriarch and the ancestor of Guanshui, and they have exerted their skills, and the head of the sect has gradually fought against the presbyterian church, and the original courtyard, palace view, and cave heaven that only the presbyterian council can award have gradually been divided up by the head of the sect, but conventionally, the law of the presbyterian church takes precedence over the law of the head of the house, such as the precept court, the medicine refining institute, the refining instrument institute, etc., which are always firmly controlled in the hands of the elders.

The so-called seniority priority of the Presbyterian Church was a trick to restrain the patriarchs back then. In this way, the winner of the Dao Technique will not be able to fully control the power of speech, and when the Patriarch has the upper hand, the seniority priority will be borrowed to prevent the new elder from forming an alliance with the old elder who opposes the Patriarch. In short, the rules and regulations of the Presbyterian Church maintain a cohesive and exclusive one.

After breaking the cloud dream, Ji Zhenren once promised me the identity of an elder. Now my deeds and deeds are enough to join the Church. However, Tang Weiyang died at my hands, and due to the discussion of other sects, the date of joining the club was constantly postponed.

But since the junior elder doesn't have much weight to say, I don't have the urgency to apply for the title of elder after being promoted to Yuanying. Seniority is preferred, not disregarded. It's just that the Tao is similar, but it is not ranked by the level of Taoism and the number of calamities, but is still positioned by the elderly. Elder Jindan, who has been in the association for hundreds of years, will never be above the Yuanying Elder who has been in the association for one day.

The three of us crossed the border and descended into the offshore city-state. The name of the city is Fei Lengcui, which is the concession of Kunlun from the neighboring kingdom. Political affairs were in charge of the city-state council, and they recruited their own regiments to practice, but they were all under the guardianship of the city's Kunlun Gongguan, and the palace was garrisoned by 500 military battalions in case of contingencies. My sect is not like the Sword Sect to set up Shushan and the Southern Wilderness to be the governor of two continents, my sect does not have the position of the Western Wilderness Leader, and a qiē palace view is directly under the head of the sect (except for the attached branch palace view and a few places in Middle Earth are governed by the presbyterian council), Fei Lengcui is no exception.

Liu Ziyue was a little jealous,

"Although this Fei Leng Cui Guan Master is an inner disciple, his Taoism is far inferior to ours. But Master Yan assigned such a fat dispatch to him, and we wanted to go to the treacherous battlefield of Middle-earth to live and die, which is very unfair. Senior Brother Yuan, when we invite the decree of building a land bridge from Master Yan, you will go to the Council of Elders to impeach Master Yan. Master Yan regards himself as a great sage, presumably he will definitely remove the Guan Master and replace it with a disciple like you Senior Brother Liu who is good at managing money, which will be beneficial to the sect. ”

"Hey, I'm not related to Master Yan again, what do I do when I come to bite him. "I'm not going to be pampered by the willows.

Yin Yuanyuan ridiculed Liu Ziyue again,

"Legend has it that the Lord of Fei Leng Cui Guan was born in a commoner, his family was poor, and he was repeatedly dismissed from his marriage before he achieved anything, and he also borrowed money to practice. Master Yan sent him fat shortage, and it was also the kindness of the sect to make up for him. You're the best money maker in our Kunlun. ”

"Alas,"

Liu Zi sighed for a long time,

"I looked away earlier, and I will have my savings and my full surplus to live. You all know that the Manying Society turned out to be the eyeliner of the Demon Kingdom in Middle-earth, and the Governor of Yuwen cleared their entrance to the imperial capital, and I lost all my money. Later, I saved some hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in the official family, but I saw that they were tossing some ship puppets in Guanzhong, and there was no movement in the big war at all, and the capital could not be recovered. What a deal!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go back to Kunlun to borrow you. ”

I said impatiently.

"Senior brother, you are a person who can't count the money, don't listen to Liu Zi's more and more bewitchment!"

Yin Yuanyuan said

Liu Ziyue's eyes lit up and said, "How can I have the intention of troubleing Senior Brother Yuan! If he is grateful to me, he will only have to talk about it for me. ”

"Senior Brother Liu, how do you say that?" I asked.

"Silly. The biggest rich man in our Kunlun Sect is Princess Lin, you have the best relationship with her, and encourage her to join the investment. Shangguan Ziyu said to me......"

Asking Princess Lin for money will cost me my life. I pretended to be deaf and dumb, and I didn't talk to Liu Ziyue again.

Liu Ziyue painted a picture of the prospect of war money that Shangguan Ziyu had sold to him, and when he said that his mouth was dry, he saw that we didn't react, so he gave up.

In view of Liu Ziyue's hostility towards the owner of Fei Leng Cuiguan, we did not spend more time in Fei Leng Cui Guan, but enjoyed the local characteristics of cakes and fish feasts, and then took our leave.

For example, the armory shops commonly forged swords and armor, but the craftsmen were at a loss for the fire guns, and it was deduced that only the firearms shops in the official camp knew about it; although the city-state council built a water diversion channel, the people of the state were still good at venturing on the streets, and we were unfortunately guilty of several times, but fortunately, there was an invisible spirit that led away the bad things that fell from the buildings; the carriage and horse shops sold and leased live horses, and the prevailing ones in Middle-earth were the talisman chariots or puppet carriages. However, I have never stepped out of Kunlun in my previous life, and for the first time in this life, I have set foot in the Western Wilderness, and I am interested in seeing the scenery of the Western Wilderness. I have my own galloping sword spirit, why do I need a fast horse that travels thousands of miles a day, I just bought three high-headed horses with abnormal strength and saddle bridles from the shop, and slowly went to the Kunlun Mountain in the northwest with the two of them.

Along the way, I went over mountains and rivers, crossed states and cities, and unconsciously got used to seeing white-skinned and blue-eyed people. Those people do not use Fanbang local dialect between our questions and answers, they all use the local dialect of Huaxia Qin, eat biangbiang noodles, eat baked bread, can use knives and forks, and can also chopsticks; Yin Yuanyuan said proudly, this is all the work of Kunlun's education in the past five hundred years. The people of Qin who moved west with Kunlun walked out of Kunlun Cave and spread out in the Western Wilderness, and civilization gradually infected the Western Wilderness. Not only Taoism, but also Confucianism, law, ink, air, soldiers, vertical and horizontal, agriculture, novels and other scholars also spread to the west. Most of the students in the school palace in the west are of this generation.

"Senior Brother Yin, every time we pass through a slightly larger city-state along the way, there is a temple dedicated to the demon god. Our Kunlun palace is only standing in the key Jintongqu, what kind of god makes the small people in the wilderness worship like this?"

-- The statues of the gods in countless large and small temples have different appearances and postures, and their work is also divided into fine and coarse. The ubiquitous feature is a solemn and beautiful woman. The woman wears a golden crown on her head, her face is covered with gold stripes, her golden eyes are scorching, and twelve stars surround her. She had wings on her back, stepped on a monstrous and obscene dragon, and held a red battle flag like a spear.

"The people of the Western Wilderness are warlike and crazy, and they are the gods of war they worship the most. Just look at the mountain. ”

Yin Yuanyuan pointed to a mountain in front of him.

There are heavy clouds and fog covering the mountain, and only a section of the top of the mountain appears, and there are palaces, pavilions, and trees on the tip, like a garden hanging in the sky. Above the clouds and below the mountain, there is a long rainbow that winds for hundreds of miles, blocking the mountaineering road like a moat. Twelve Venus stars shine in the rainbow. When I looked closely, there were twelve palaces with golden aura barriers, all standing on floating islands.

I didn't even notice that there was such a cave that Hongmeng had opened up. It stands to reason that thousands of miles away, I can sense the boundless aura of this mountain and the overwhelming coercion of all things.

But listening to Liu Zi's more and more rare serious whispering,

"Kunlun is majestic and secluded. ”

There is another mountain that counteracts the pressure of this mountain, so that people who do not know the inside story will pass by without knowing it, it is a humble and diluted, but it contains thousands of treasures.

The mountain and the hanging garden face each other, but they are hidden in the heaven and earth.
