Chapter 431: Out to Sea
Things changed and stars changed, and Lin'er and I walked slowly, trekking through mountains and rivers, passing through the state and passing through countless settlements of humans and monsters.
Sometimes, we hold the Kunlun sigil that has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the Taoist temple that has been transformed from the Sanxiu sect is on the list, and secretly observe the talents and loyalty of the master everywhere, and the sages praise them, and the unsages are replaced by the prison of the mountain, and the rebels send the precepts to the court to level down;
Sometimes we wander from one demon tribe after another, moving with them, avoiding human cities and looking for suitable spiritual veins to live in.
Previously, Lin'er sent the Seven-Tailed Su, the Elephant King, and the Ox King to appease the monsters in all parts of Yandi, swearing that they would not eat people, and those who belonged to Kunlun could stay in Middle-earth.
The Taoist temples everywhere occupied the best spiritual veins, and the demon tribes, large and small, had to invade each other. The weak tribes collapsed, and the monsters and spirit beasts were accepted as Taoist soldiers by various Taoist temples, and lived together with the people; the strong tribes were concerned by the demon kings under the command of Lin'er, and they were enriched into their demon kingdoms one by one, and obtained the god position of sealing the Zen book, and they were divided into the mountains of the North Middle Earth, the deep caves, the Manglin, and the Daze Cave, and they were at peace with the human race.
During the day, Lin'er and I mingled among people and demons, and at night I reviewed the paper cranes sent by Benshan. The palace and the palace view are like the stars running separately, and we are invisible people who are spectators, and only appear when necessary.
The deeper the Tao, the more you feel your shallowness. After we have cultivated the sevenfold pagoda method from him, and after entering the realm of true people, we have transcended the practice of sitting and lying down, and have reached the level of seeing all sentient beings, and our path has increased.
After a few years of division and merger, Yan Zhao Guoye was at peace, and gradually merchants from all over the country came and went to various Taoist temples and demon caves, selling department stores and trading spirit stones. The spirit vein workshops in various places have also reopened, and more and more wooden oxen and horses and copper and iron puppets have appeared on the trade routes.
The trade routes were smooth, and towns appeared in the thoroughfares, and there were many kinds of inns, shops, workshops, and restaurants in the towns. This is neither a Taoist territory nor a monster lair. The people of the Ten Elders' Association came to these towns with the official seal in the name of Emperor Zhengtai.
The Church of Ten Elders is the name of the Presbyterian Church composed of ten families governing North Middle-earth. They levied merchant taxes, built ditches, built patrols, and hunted down thieves in these towns, turning them into new counties of North Middleland.
In the spring of the eighth year of Zhengtai, we arrived at the foot of the new Wuyun City, the center of Baiye in Yandi. The new dark cloud city was built in the east of the abandoned city, on the seashore of the East China Sea, with an iron bridge connected to the abandoned fortress of Yuwen Badu when he conquered the demon kingdom, and there were treasure ships that stretched for several miles. It's all from the handwriting of the Wu Ma Juzi gang who returned to Kunlun.
The Bukong Temple, which was destroyed when the magic tower was dissolved, was rebuilt again, and now it has become the most solemn and magnificent dojo in the new dark cloud city. Master Zhizhang was also promoted to Yuanxia, and he saved the dead and helped the wounded in Wuyun City, comforted the hearts of the people, and was deeply admired by the people of the city.
However, Master Zhizhang repeatedly rejected the invitation of the Kunlun Elders to give him the invitation of the elders to the throne, insisted on the principle of empty doors, and the mortals and little demons who were under the root under the red dust, the Kunlun Elders could only fulfill his wishes.
I think that Master Zhizhang is unwilling to completely worship Kunlun, and he also has the deep meaning of maintaining the integrity of the north and south empty gates. In the future, I will also need a variety of channels to exchange news with South Middle-earth, so I will no longer be reluctant to master Zhizhang.
The port of the new Wuyun City is densely packed with merchant associations from all over the country, among which there are also ships of the Shangguan family's billions of money. Lin'er and I played comfortably in Dark Cloud City for a month, and parted in the port. She will take the ship of Maoji Qianzhuang with Kunlun background alone to the eastern part of the Northern Wilderness to mediate and recruit the demon clans who are fighting there, and I will also take the ship of Billions of Qianzhuang alone to reconnoiter the territory of Nangong Panshi.
At this time, we left Yangqiu City Benshan, and it has been a year and a half. It took such a long time to see Nangong Panshi, and I was also faintly afraid in my heart that I didn't want to face
- If Nangong Panshi is really a silver dragon, what should I do with him?
Lin'er said: "Yuan Jun, when you go to Qi Country, you must think of Kunlun." You are the head of Kunlun, don't be rash. ”
I said, "It's not easy. ”
Lin'er sighed: "Then make an agreement with me to come back from Qi Kingdom safely." ”
I swear by her.
She looked at me fixedly, "Sometimes I think that if Yuan Zhi didn't die, but I died in front of Yuan Jun's eyes, maybe you miss me more deeply today." ”
I complained, "Stop talking nonsense. Lin'er's kindness is unforgettable to me. You let Yuan Zhi go, even if she is deeper, that is, she carves a few more of my bones, and it is already very painful to carve one. ”
Lin'er didn't mention Yuan Zhi for a long time, she wasn't jealous, she still meant something else.
Lin'er said: "At the beginning, Nangong Panshi chose to kill Yuan Zhi, and I was very happy. In retrospect, it was my great mistake, and with her death, she surpassed me forever in your heart. ”
I said, "It's your senseless trouble." Maybe Yuan Zhi doesn't care about me at all, she only hates the three kings in her heart. If you let go of your obsession, you will know as well as I do that letting Yun Xianke kill Yuan Zhi is a better choice than killing Wei Zhengrong. Wei Zhengrong may not be able to get rid of it, but in addition to Yuan Zhi, Kunlun has a big less rival. Otherwise, the land of Yan Zhao doesn't know how to mess up, and we Kunlun don't have the strength to deal with the endless tricks of this chaotic female demon king. Nangong Panshi's vision is indeed better than mine, I will only tell you this. ”
Lin'er smiled: "I was teasing you just now." Love for the living and remembrance for the dead are completely different things. Holding the living me, you are happy because of happiness, I am all real, and the nostalgia for Yuan Zhi is that you are happy because of sadness, in your heart she is not bad at all, she is all good to you.
Since you know how to let go of your obsession, you should also understand that if you are distressed that Nangong is a silver dragon, if Nangong Panshi is really a silver dragon, he is afraid that he will be more distressed, more afraid, and more frightened than you. At the beginning, Nangong Panshi was forced to vote for us Kunlun due to the situation, and now he is difficult to ride a tiger and can no longer turn his back on us. Then he must always face the enemy who is seeking his life, and he must restrain his heart from divulging the slightest. What a long ordeal it was. ”
I said, "I see." If Nangong Panshi owes me, he is more afraid of me and easier to be manipulated by me. As long as Nangong Panshi is pregnant with the world one day, the more he will obey me. ”
Lin'er said: "You are his creditor, and he will repay your debts for the rest of his life." ”
The ship of the billionaire money village arrived at Dengyun City, the largest city in Qi State, and Nangong Panshi was not in Dengyun City. I received a paper crane from Kunlun, not long ago, Nangong Tengjiao, the prince of Qi State, fell, and Nangong Panshi went to Nangong Laohao Island in the East China Sea to mourn.
I don't want to mourn Nangong Tengjiao, I am still dressed as a lion demon, and I calmly visit the customs of Qi country. Nangong Panshi returned to Kunlun, and the Qi State was also open to people who traveled to and from North Middle Earth. I am a lion demon walking in the city, although the Qi people point fingers, they are not panicked, and they are not arrested by the government.
The officials of the counties and counties were all shrewd and capable people in the Nangong shogunate, but the rumors of the Ten Elders' rise to power in Northern Middle Earth also spread throughout the territory of the Qi Kingdom. Most of these county officials are also from ten families, and they privately discuss which place is better paid. Naturally, the Ten Elders' Association did not look up to the shogunate, and the officials appointed were all from their own sects, and the salaries were all preferential. Some people were shaken in their minds and resigned from the position of the Nangong Shogunate and defected from the Qi State to my side. There are also some people who are attached to the kings and ministers who have served the Nangong family for several generations and refuse to leave.
I also learned from the paper cranes in Kunlun that the vacant official positions in Chang'an were quickly filled. Whether it is the shogunate of Yuwen Batu or the shogunate of Nangong Panshi, a large number of officials are moved to Kunlun's side. There have been fewer people coming from Yuwen Batu recently, because the regent of Yuwen has announced that all officials who leave Southern Middle-earth will be regarded as treason, and all family property will be confiscated.
Nangong Panshi seems to be afraid of Kunlun, and has never stopped the flow of shogunate officials, but only pulls out the remuneration to be the same as Kunlun.
Unconsciously, I came to Guangling City of Qi State, which is the birthplace of my birth, holding the sigil of Kunlun, and placing an order in a Taoist temple called Qionghua Temple, which is the first major view of Qi State.
In the past few years, many Taoist temples in Kunlun have also emerged in the Qi Kingdom, which are actually the transformation of the Taoist temples of the past Star Sect. Zi Feizhen did not come to Yangqiu to preach the Fa, Sima Qinxin took on the role of the prefect of the Kunlun Five Elements Academy, and he also recommended the original Star Sect master and friend abbot Qi Guo's palace view.
This Qionghuaguan is now the abbot of the Yuanying Yishan people of the original Star Sect, and Kunlun has appointed Wang Yanxia as the supervisor. I don't know whether intentionally or not, the people of Yishan are not in the view, but go to the Western Wilderness to find my master and pharmacist to play, and the real power falls into the hands of Wang Yanxia.
He was familiar with the people of the Star Sect, and he was too peaceful when he looked at it. The triennial immortal seedling trial, the annual spiritual vein audit, and the inspection of the Discipline Academy, there is no difference.
Wang Yanxia saw my lion face, knew that I came here to place an order, and understood it early, so she was a lion and a guest and accompanied me to the mountains and rivers.
On this day, Wang Yanxia and I, and a few Qionghua people are watching the back garden to drink and feast, the snow-like Qionghua is blowing on the face, Wang Yanxia talked about the history of this view: this Qionghua view can be traced back to the Taoist Gate, when the Taoist of Luqiu Taoist abbot of the Taoist Gate, his granddaughter Meng Taoist and Hongchen's husband Jun Confucian Fang Shusheng are not harmonious, holding up the stomach negative to stay in this view, Fang Shusheng begged in every possible way, and could not persuade his own lady.
Suddenly, one day, the Qionghua was in full bloom, and Daoist Meng also gave birth to a girl on the same day. The master of Luqiu Guan divination learned that this girl would be able to carry forward the avenue gate one day, and he was overjoyed, so he named the girl Fang Qiong, who was the head of the Dragon and Tiger Sect.
There is light on the face of Qionghuaguan. But I secretly sighed that it was really not easy to be consistent.
A short and fat Taoist priest stepped into the garden, and Wang Yanxia and the others hurriedly got up to greet him. My eyes swept over, took off the lion's hood, and saluted the short and fat Taoist: "Teacher Zifei, I've kept you waiting for a long time." ”
We've met once. In my eyes, he turned out to be the big kun that Ren Gongzi sat down.
Zifei Zhenren said with a smile: "I already know your mind to lead the group to cultivate the Tao, but do you know why I stayed in Qi Country and never went to your Kunlun to teach the Fa?"
"Please show Teacher Zifei. I said.
"When Patriarch Ren was here, he condensed the Star Sect with the armillary sphere, and the people of the Star Sect could freely travel to and from the Star Dojo. Now that the armillary sphere has been lost, the people of the Star Sect are either trapped in the dojo or cut off the way to the dojo. To teach the ordinary Five Elements Dao Technique, Sima Qin's heart is sufficient, and to teach the upper Five Elements Dao Technique, there must be a Star Dojo, even if it is me, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. So I stayed on the seashore and commanded my men to search for the armillary sphere for many years, but alas. ”
After Qu Lingxing was killed by Yun Xianke on the mountain and river list, the armillary sphere has disappeared since then. Zifei Zhenren must have nothing to do about finding the armillary sphere, and he can't find more money for his faction, so he has to come to see me.
I deliberately frowned, "This is about the qi of all the Daoists of the Star Sect, especially those who are trapped in the dojo. The Star Dojo is in the land of the Desperate Domain, it is difficult for the creatures to survive, and they will not be able to leave for a few years, and those Daoists are afraid that they will fall from misfortune. ”
Zifei Zhenren Zhengse said: "The Star Sect has no main backbone and scatters, and it is just an expedient measure to vote for Kunlun." If you find the armillary sphere, you will not only rescue the people trapped in the dojo, but also uphold the artifact to truly condense the Star Sect and teach Kunlun the best Five Elements Dao technique. ”
Zifei Zhenren couldn't get the armillary instrument, so he retreated to the second best thing and came to help me seize the armillary sphere as his own merit.
I was overjoyed, "This is my unshirkable responsibility in Kunlun." But—"
I said, "—I'm afraid that other demons will covet this artifact as well." ”
Zifei Zhenren knows the value of this treasure, and other Star Sect figures don't know it. In the past few years, there has been no news of Chitose Han, Ao Tao and others, but they are also looking for the armillary sphere up and down, and they can't tell where they are.
Zifei is not really humane: "That's right, don't let them get ahead of the curve." Not only the other real people of the Star Sect, but also the regent of Yuwen and the Dragon and Tiger Sect are also determined to get that artifact: all the artifacts in the world have entered Kunlun, and the Sword Sect only has one artifact left, the Biluo Sword, and none of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and they are unwilling to miss this last Nine Revolutions. ”
Zifei Zhenren whispered to me again: "Nangong Panshi doesn't know about this matter, I specially came to inform you when he went to kamikaze island to mourn." ”
Nangong Panshi already has the Qi Kingdom, and he will get the artifact again and gather the people of the Star Sect, which is really a big deal.
I looked at Zifei Zhenren, "Thank you for the love of the real person, thanks to the blessing of the real person, if Kunlun finds the artifact before the group cultivation, you are not only the master of the courtyard, but also the first seat of our Kunlun, it is not too much!"
Zifei laughed, "I will do my best." ”
