Chapter 558: Songhai and Jiangnan
After Qin Weiyu turned to ghost cultivation, his soul body had not been able to possess the bones, Qi Xiu was afraid of disturbing him, so he briefly explained a few words, left the relevant application things that had been prepared for him and left, and before leaving, he completely locked the magic circle in the trial place of Heihe Peak, except for the means of attack, only he could open it from the outside.
If something happens to him, leave another way for Qin Weiyu inside to get out.
It has been a few months since the Demon Disaster in the Outer Sea, in fact, many monks and forces have already carried out actions, such as the Qi Dong Teng family, which is close to Haidong City, as well as the first wave of reinforcements officially organized by the Qi Yun Sect and the Great Zhou Academy, plus the righteous path sects such as Jixia City, Tianli Sect, and Qinglian Sword Sect that take the demon defense path as their own responsibility, anyway, the main battlefield of [Zhengqi Fang] has been unable to start a war with the Black Wind Valley for a long time, and many monks simply voluntarily came to the open sea to participate in the fight against the demon disaster. However, Haidong City, Ice Source Island, and the surviving monks from all over the open sea that they intercepted were still the largest force.
And Cai Yuan's camp is in trouble, whether it is Qi Xiu, Chu Hongsheng, Chu Shentong, Chu Wen or even other sect families that follow, everyone's preparations for opening up the Little Demon Yuan have been stirred up, the re-plan is too wide-ranging, the changes are too drastic, and all parties need to be rebalanced. The soldiers are fast, one step is too late, the original plan has become a drag on everyone, and now the hemp pole is afraid of the wolf, and they are worried that they will not succeed in rushing into battle, so all the thoughts including Cai Yuan's struggle for the position will be in vain. I am afraid that I will be robbed of the credit by the righteous monks who came in front of me with a moment of righteousness and bravery, and it is also unacceptable to join in and eat leftovers when the time comes.
As a result, it was delayed for several months, and just before Qi Xiu went to Haidong City to see Qi Makeup, a rough plan had just been introduced, and it was generally necessary to fully participate in this battle against the Demon Calamity, but the specific methods, goals, interests, etc. were far from being finalized.
Qi Xiu couldn't influence Cai Yuan's decision-making, so he had to do his best to prepare, rectify the sect, coordinate vassals, suppress dissent, prepare materials, and take care of everything in detail.
Heihefang, in Chu Qin's own industry, Yao Qing has been waiting for many days.
"A lot of people have a lot of opinions about you. ”
Yao Qing's status is detached, and his speech is not too taboo, seeing Qi Xiu enter the door, he stepped forward and handed him the information he had sorted out, and said with a smile: "The front foot broke the rules to accept loose cultivation, and the back foot had an open sea demon disaster, and now everyone heard that our Chu Qin was going to participate in the open sea war, the two contrasted, and it was very obedient, it turned out that you could even know the movements of the demon cultivator in advance." ”
"Rumors are heartbreaking. Qi Xiu could only smile bitterly, "I originally expected that the opening of the Little Demon Abyss would not wait for another hundred years, just make some plans earlier, who would have thought that this demon disaster would not be able to wait for even three years......"
This demonic calamity must be related to the Guigu faction, and Qi Xiu is very sure of this. Together, the Confucianism faction stirred up the small demon abyss to open up, and the responsibility for forcibly opening up the water was put on the surface of the review, and the Guigu faction rarely occupied a morally dominant position, and I heard that in the debate in the door of the Great Zhou Academy, the Guigu monks won thirteen games in a row, and the counterattack has been completed.
In the direction of the Righteous Qi Workshop, a large number of Righteous Path monks volunteered to go to the open sea to participate in the fight against the demonic disaster, and the Tianli Sect and other Righteous Dao sects became more and more lacking in the courage to start a war, plus Black Wind Valley said that they would also organize people to go to the open sea to defend against foreign insults, so that the entire confrontation atmosphere was greatly eased. Tianlimen, Jixia City, and Mingyangshan, the hardcore allies of the Confucian faction, could not succeed, which was also beneficial to Guigu.
The question now is, will the Guigu sect be so crazy, and if so, what will be the end of following such a crazy group?
"By the way, there's one more thing. ”
After Yao Qing explained the information, he hesitated for a while, and when he saw Qi Xiu hurriedly going out, he hurriedly opened his mouth to keep people.
"What's the matter?" Qi Xiu stopped.
"Well, there's a guy named Bao Er coming to me at the door and saying he wants to learn how to write idle books, do you know?" asked Yao Qing.
"I don't know. ”
Qi Xiu thought for a moment, "It should be purely out of interest, what?"
"It's not what you mean. ”
Yao Qing was relieved, and said with a straight face: "My avenue is deserted, and now that I am one hundred and fifty years old, it is time to consider the inheritance of the name 'Bai Xiaosheng'." I don't think much of that package two, frivolous and big, and it's difficult to even build a foundation, how to take over the mantle of me and Brother Bai, and do a steady third generation of Bai Xiaosheng? And after everything is known, now I am invincible in Baishan, and I will start to expand the scope of Fengwuzhi in the future, and it is inconvenient to write about the anecdotes within the scope of the super sect, only the two places of Jixia and the open sea have great potential. There happens to be a junior of a famous clan, who, like me, was born in the Yao Clan's School Palace, and has lived in the open sea for a long time, so he is very familiar with the scenery over there......"
Someone inherits the name of 'Bai Xiaosheng', which is a great thing for Chu Qin, Qi Xiu has no permission, promised to go to Yao Qing, and went straight to the transfer point, Chu Qinmen's only Yimu Yufeng Shuttle quietly docked here. He climbed aboard, and the shuttle slowly rose into the air, straight south.
Gu Si waited on it, and as soon as Qi Xiufu sat down, he presented a large pile of paperwork and deeds.
"What do you think about the war that is about to begin?" Qi Xiu asked as he flipped through it.
"This is different from opening up, most of the people you face are ancient beasts who are not smart enough and are stupidly waiting to be killed in their lair. Gu Si's face was full of worry, "Judging from this demonic disaster, we will face an unprecedented, cunning and cruel enemy......"
"The war is decided, and it is useless to say this. Qi Xiu raised his hand to stop him, "Strategy is not a matter for us to consider, you talk about tactics." ”
"I don't know who to fight, where to fight, what tactics to talk about?" Gu Si shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I plan to set off to Haidong City in the near future to investigate the situation at close range, and wait for the above strategy to be detailed before deciding." ”
The word 'strategy' was almost gritted his teeth, and his dissatisfaction was palpable.
"No, you have ordered Zhan Jianfeng to lead people to follow you, and then you will not only have to personally lead the team, but also have to fight in battle, so now you must hurry up and focus on training the marching battle formation and other affairs. Qi Xiu undoubtedly refuted Gu Xi's plan, and said earnestly: "Jiang Mingling has learned from the past, the authority obtained in the war is above the others, and the power condensed by blood is real and indestructible. Most of the people below don't know the credit of the people who are behind the scenes. ”
"Yes. "Thank you.
The shuttle soon landed in Qifu City, and Qi Xiu disembarked alone and saw Lu Man who came to greet him.
"Uncle Boss. ”
Lu Man bowed, followed behind Qi Xiu, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
"How's it going?" Qi Xiu asked casually.
"There are many monks from all walks of life in the city who have come to the Death Swamp to hunt for treasure, and there is a little turmoil. Lu Man replied: "After the Demon Disaster in the Outer Sea, all kinds of fighting things have risen sharply, especially the one that restrains the evil spirits, from being unpopular to having no price in just a few days, but fortunately, I bought more according to your order earlier." A few days ago, after the news spread that my Chu Qin would go all out to participate in the war, prices soared again......"
"Good. Qi Xiu nodded, "The five-cent dividend of Qifu City is the largest single income of my Chu Qin every year, and if you run this place well, it is the greatest support for the front." ”
"Yes, disciple remember. Lu Man solemnly responded.
When the two of them arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion, a disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect went in to report, and soon, the City Lord Gu Rongxiao came out, and the current head of the Ancient Sword Sect followed suit.
"Qi slippery head, Qi slippery head!" Gu Rong pointed at Qi Xiu and grinned: "You can't afford to make a fortune in the open sea!?"
"A lot! Brother Gu will go with me and get rich together, how about it?" Qi Xiu also smiled.
"Hey......
Gu Rong touched his bald head and laughed twice, no longer mentioning this stubble, the guests and hosts on both sides sat down, and after greetings, the head of Gu Jianmen personally took out the appointment that had been prepared and presented it.
Qi Xiu looked at the article, and in the name of Chu Qinmeng, he borrowed the equivalent of 100,000 third-order spirit stones and 100,000 third-order spirit stones from the Ancient Sword Sect, as well as a series of procurement and long-term supply agreements, if all of them were fulfilled, the total value would be about 500,000 third-order.
Among them, the largest one is 10,000 pieces of second-order inferior [Pure Heart Retreating Demon Pei], with a total price of 43,000 third-order, which will be delivered in three years. In previous years, the unit price of such a thing was not even a third-order, but now it has increased more than five times and there is no stock, just this, it is still the friendship price given by Gu Rong.
"In the past, I used to lend spirit stones to others, but now it's finally my turn to borrow someone else's. ”
Qi Xiu picked up the pen and signed his real name on the appointment with mixed feelings.
"Your level of debt collection is very high, but I don't know what the level of debt collection is?" Gu Rong joked a few words and signed his name, "I found a flying sword recipe for restraining demons, and I have been trying to make it recently, and you can buy more when you succeed." ”
"We'll talk about it then. Qi Xiu smiled bitterly, "This time I took a lot of people away, Jin Dan estimates that there is only one Tiesheng to take care of the house, and you have to take care of it as an elder brother." ”
"That's nature. ”
Gu Rong restrained his smile, "Destroying demons and defending the Dao is a public affair in the world, and at this time, no one will not beat your family's idea without a long eye." ”
"Hmm. Qi Xiu agreed, sat down briefly, and then got up to take his leave.
With a heavy heart, he stepped on the shuttle again, waved goodbye to Lu Man, and went all the way to the east, all the way to Lianshui City through the boundary of the Jiang family, and when he arrived near the [Songhai Gate] boundary between the Jiang family and the Lihuo Alliance, Sang Jia, the master of Songhai Gate, actually blocked the road to meet him.
Sang Jia, the guest who once betrayed the owner of Bihu Gate, took the credit of the Jiang family for sharing profits according to the agreement after ten years of opening up with the Jiang family, and has become the first generation of the owner of Songhaimen who has been divided into three generations. The beneficiary of Gu Xi's plan to destroy the Bihu Gate was nearly four hundred years old, his hair was slightly gray, and he was tall.
"Head Qi, Brother Gu. ”
He lowered his posture very low, clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "I was both surprised and moved to hear that your sect is going to the open sea to fight the evil demons, it is my hometown, you two can find me if you have any needs." As long as you can......" said and beckoned back, a disciple dragged a plate and flew forward, with a few storage bags on the plate.
Seeing this, Gu Si exchanged glances with Qi Xiu, and said with a smile: "Master Sang is polite, let's go in for tea and talk?"
"Okay, I can't ask for it!"
Sang Jia was overjoyed, and followed into the flying shuttle, "The sect is newly established, and there is nothing to handle, but when I was fighting in the water, I participated in the destruction of a mountain's third-order [Little Light Pattern Beast], and I got some skins. This thing is very restrained in some of the spells used by demon cultivators, and I estimate that it should be able to come in handy in the open sea when it is made into a magic robe, but no one in the door will do this, so I simply don't keep it, and give it all to Brother Qi. ”
His disciple presented the storage bag again, and Qi Xiu ordered Gu Si to accept it, "It's disrespectful in this way." ”
"A little foreign thing, it's not worth anything, Brother Gu has helped me a lot, and I have always wanted to pay it back. Sang Jia waved his hand, ordered his disciple to retreat, leaned forward, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that Jiang Mingling is going to marry far away, but is there such a thing?"
Qi Xiu knew what he was taking the initiative to show favor for, and nodded, "Marry Qi Dongteng's family." ”
Sang Jia immediately said: "Brother Gu knows, my contribution to starting a sect, and the Jiang family is now building such a big family business, mainly relying on the planning of Brother Gu and Jiang Mingling." What is Jiang Mingke, he took people's lives to fill in some battle exploits in Xushui, and came back in a circle! Although he didn't rely on my separation, his attitude towards my Songhaimen, alas!"
He sighed, "I have no hope for the avenue, and the younger generations are not angry, now think about it, what was the plan for the three generations of this separation!"
In and out of his words, he just wanted to make friends with the strong reinforcement of Chu Qinmen, Qi Xiu naturally agreed, anyway, Songhaimen is safe for three generations, and after three generations......
There is no contract in black and white, so let's talk about it then.
Sang Jia sent a fourth-order light attribute spirit stone, more than a thousand small light pattern animal skins, and a lot of spirit grass and ore recovered from the water, the quality of the variety is very messy, but for a Sang Jia, who was born in the sea and was a beginner in the sect, he was already very sincere.
Sending Sang Jia away, Gu sighed and smiled: "No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, so it's good that you don't have to return it." ”
There was nothing to say all the way, and when he arrived at the transfer point of Lianshui City, and entered the city with Nangong Yanran, who was waiting there, he saw seven or eight corpses of monks hanging at the gate of the city.
"Is this?" Qi Xiu was surprised.
"After returning from the opening war, the Jiang family began to drive away the loose cultivators who were entrenched in his family's territory, and these dared to fight by force. ”
Nangong Yanran replied in a low voice: "Jiang Mingke said that it is useless to reason with the people of Baishan, you need to follow the customs of the locals and change it to a means that they can understand." ”
Qi Xiu touched his long beard, didn't make any comments, and walked all the way to the mountain gate of the original Lianshui Gate, where the plaque on the top had been changed, and Qi Yun's white cloud pattern was the bottom, and on it were the three big black characters of 'Jiangnan Sect' inscribed by Lu Yunzi himself.
