Chapter 54 Jiangzhou

However, the entire Eight-Nation Alliance's immortal cultivation sects, including the Immortal Cultivation Family and Scattered Cultivators, still have many immortal cultivators who have practiced the basic exercises to the peak, and these people urgently need to build the foundation to try to break through the bottleneck.

In this way, on the one hand, due to the scarcity of elixirs, the Tsukidan is extremely lacking, and they are all controlled by the Gate Sect, but in this way, there are also many disciples in the sect who are fiercely competing and cannot get it.

On the other hand, there are more and more casual cultivators who need "Zhuji Dan", and even if they find the required elixir, alchemists who don't have a big sect can't refine Zhuji Dan.

This caused a fierce contradiction between the disciples in the late stage of the sect's qi refining period, and between the sect and the scattered cultivators.

But there is no problem in the world that cannot be solved, and in the end, this contradiction was solved by the wise men in the sect.

They actually came up with one, whether it was a sect disciple or a loose cultivator, as long as they found five of the elixirs needed to refine the Zhuji Dan, they could go to any sect of the Eight Nations Alliance to exchange for a Zhuji Dan.

Doing so will not only allow the sect to obtain additional elixir, but also eliminate the contradictions between the disciples of the sect and between the sect and the scattered cultivators. After all, the elixir obtained by the sect in this way can refine the Tsukidan far more than the value of a single Tsukidan, which is the best of both worlds.

And Lu Xu is self-aware, not to mention whether he can compete for a grain of Zhuji Dan of the sect, even if he is lucky enough to get one. With his qualifications of the Five Spirit Roots, it would never be possible for him to succeed in building a foundation with a single pill, so Lu Xu had to take precautions. Fortunately, he has a delicate secret realm, and he is not allowed to worry about the year of the elixir, as long as he finds the seed.

It rained heavily for three days, and it seemed to pour money into the earth without money, and the rain was stopped at dusk, and some rain foam was still falling at this moment.

Jiangzhou is a large state in the territory of Yanguo, this year Jiangzhou continuous heavy rain and floods, of which Jiangzhou Yueyang County is one of the seriously affected counties.

Countless houses collapsed in the torrential rain, and the stagnant water on the streets of the county town could be navigated, and even the county city wall collapsed under the continuous torrential rain, revealing a large gap one zhang high. In the past two days, it may be that he has taken pity on the suffering of the world, and God has slightly restrained the rain, so that Yueyang County can breathe a little. It's just that there is waterlogging in various places, and the stagnant water will not be able to leak out for a while and a half, and the Wuding River outside the county has also become an accomplice to the flood, and the water is almost overflowing the embankment.

The Yueyang County Disaster Relief Camp is located on a bare hillside in the river embankment outside the city, the mountain is a dirt mountain, only more than ten zhang high, shaped like a weighing stone, so the people in the county generally call it a weighing slope, there are no trees and grass, bare.

A tall middle-aged official, wearing a black gauze crown and a bright red regimental leader's robe, walked towards the scale slope where the disaster relief camp was located, despite the muddy road under his feet.

The leaders came to Yueyang County to relieve the private camps and condolences immediately caused a commotion, and many ragged victims surrounded them: "Lord Hong is here, everyone kowtow to your lordship." "Adults don't watch people starve to death. ”

The middle-aged official is none other than Hong Botao, the governor of Jiangzhou, who is known for his reputation and has a high prestige in Jiangzhou.

"Definitely, when will the disaster relief grain allocated by Xiandu arrive?" Hong Baitao asked, Jiangzhou is not only Yueyang County has been affected by the disaster, but the entire Jiangzhou has more than 20 cities and counties, large and small, basically have major or small disasters, and the grain and money needed for disaster relief must be uniformly allocated from the capital of Yanguo.

Hearing this, Yang Dingzhi, the magistrate of Yueyang, said: "I just received a message from Kuaima that the relief grain was suspended in the Liuzhou River last night, and the boat should be sent out early this morning, and it should be able to arrive here tomorrow morning." ”

"Good. What is the situation of the disaster in Yueyang County?"

"The river in the territory has been in disrepair for many years, the torrential rain is pouring, and the embankment can be broken for several days, although the rain has stopped, the flood has not been discharged, and the casualties are afraid that it will not be less than 10,000 people. ”

Hong Baitao frowned and pondered for a moment, and said hatefully: "Damn God, if you don't pity the people like this, why does this heavy rain keep falling." After saying these troubles, Hong Baitao couldn't help but curse God in front of his subordinates, shook his robe hatefully, and instructed Yang Dingzhi, "We must stabilize the emotions of the victims, and we must not cause civil unrest. There is also the matter of the county's post-disaster revitalization, you have to personally check it, once you find out that you are greedy for disaster relief food, you will not tolerate it, this time the official wants to catch a few typical examples to vent the hatred in his heart. ”

"Yes. ”

Hong Botao and his entourage walked to the top of the mountain while discussing disaster relief matters, there is a boulder there, standing on the top of the boulder, you can overlook the Wuding River.

Although there are still rain stars floating down in the sky, but the sky is still clear, standing on the top of the boulder, at a glance, the sunset of the clear autumn is red as if oozing blood, hanging on the blue sky. This picture is extremely beautiful, if Hong Baitao usually sees this beautiful scenery, he may also chant a few small poems, but at this moment in the face of this broken scene, he feels panicked.

Hong Baitao looked along the river, a few light boats were tied to the embankment, and a huge sailing boat in the middle was particularly conspicuous, standing among the many fishing boats like a flock.

Hong Baitao stared at it for a moment, frowned slightly and asked, "Whose ship is that?" ”

"Jiangzhou Bai family, I heard that the eldest lady of the Bai family is on the boat. Yang Dingzhi said.

"Oh, they don't go back to Jiangzhou, what are they doing here?" Hong Botao, as the governor of Jiangzhou, naturally knows that the Bai family, the No. 1 martial arts family in Jiangzhou, has been dominant in Jiangzhou for more than 100 years, and is the leader of the martial arts in Jiangzhou.

"The Bai family has prepared a boatload of grain to come to the disaster relief by themselves, and they have been here for several days," Yang Dingzhi said.

Hong Botao snorted coldly: "Hmph, buy people's hearts." As an official representative, Hong Baitao naturally does not like to break away from the martial arts family outside the control of the Jiangzhou government.

"My lord, I heard that the eldest lady of the Bai family is unparalleled in beauty and is the first beauty in my Jiangzhou, why don't you invite her ashore to express your condolences. Yang Dingzhi on the side seemed to think of something to suggest.

Hong Botao shook his head and said: "The victims are all over the field, how can this official have this time?"

Yang Dingzhi saw that although Hong Botao refused, his expression was quite moved, and he immediately scolded in his heart: "The old pervert wants to be a bitch and hold the archway." Then he said flatteringly: "Since the adults are here, how can the little people not come to see them." ”

"Forget it, let's go back. Hong Baitao thought about it and shook his head.

"Yes, sir. Yang Dingzhi saw it, so he didn't say anything more, and followed Hong Botao down. But he was secretly scolding in his heart, "Old pervert, how did you summon a famous prostitute to accompany you to drink when you were in Tongxian, there will be no time, it's not that you see that the other party is the eldest lady of the Bai family, and you know that you can't afford to provoke it." ”

The original ferry had long since been flooded, and a simple pier was built outside the embankment with columns and tiled pine trees that drove into the riverbank, and a small half was submerged in the water at this time. The hull of the Baijia boat is tall, and after the water level of the Wuding River rises, the side of the ship is much higher than the pine wharf.

On the Bai family's big ship, an old man with white hair walked on the deck to inspect the surrounding situation, this person was tall, although he was full of white hair, but his face was full of red light. With a pair of iron halberds on his back, he looked quite heavy. When I looked up and saw the deck at the bow of the ship, except for four or five boatmen sitting lazily under the canopy at the bow of the ship chatting, there were only a group of Bai family guards standing around. He nodded, and prepared to go back to the cabin to rest. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a petite figure coming out of a room next to me. Suddenly shouted, "Miss Ling'er, who are you?"

The small door opened, revealing a strange little face as white as a jade elf, a pair of big round and agile eyes under the slender eyebrows, a small nose, and thin lips like cherries, as if a gust of wind could blow it. The delicate little braids covered one end, swaying in the wind as they walked, indescribably light. When the little girl heard this, a lark-like voice came out from under her thin mouth: "Uncle Song, I'll go and deliver food to Mr. Lu." ”

The old man's name is Bai Song, and he is a retainer of the Bai family for generations, and this time he is escorting Bai Feifei, the eldest lady of the Bai family, to Yueyang County for disaster relief. "Lu Gongzi is still fine, why do you still need Miss Ling'er to deliver food. ”

"It's okay, it's nothing, after all, it was our boat that sank Lu Gongzi's ferry. Bai Ling'er grinned, and her big eyes suddenly turned into a pair of crooked crescents.

"Hehe, this Lu Gongzi is really fateful, he drank a quarter of an hour of river water in the water to save him, but he was fine. Thinking of the situation that day, Bai Song couldn't help but smile a little.

"Hee-hee, Songbo, how can you say that. Bai Ling'er also seemed to be laughing, covering her small mouth, and a pair of crescent moons were even more curved.

The Lu Gongzi that these two people said was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the cabin of the big ship at the moment, the cabin was small, the light was dim, and he was not handsome but his face was still delicate, about seventeen or eighteen years old, it was Lu Xu.

That day, after Lu Xu made up his mind, he said goodbye to Fu Jundie briefly, and after leaving a batch of solid elixirs, he took a training task to find the elixir and left the sect. Searching for the news of the elixir all the way, he learned by chance that there was a Xiuxianfang City near Jiangzhou, Lu Xu immediately bought a small boat and rushed to Jiangzhou along the Weijiang River across the Yan Kingdom, but unexpectedly, Jiangzhou was hit and sunk by the Bai family's big boat in the Wuding River, a tributary of the Weijiang River.

It's also a shame to say that Lu Xu, who has reached the late stage of the Qi refining period, can't swim, although he won't drown in the water as an immortal cultivator, he can't swim ashore. had to soak in the water for more than a quarter of an hour before being rescued by the Bai family's boat, and then it was logical to take the Bai family's boat to Jiangzhou.

"Brother Lu, are you resting, I'm here to bring you food. ”

Outside the door, a crisp voice came. Lu Xu couldn't help but think of a petite figure in his mind, with picturesque eyebrows, petite and exquisite, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook a trace of arc. "No, come in, Ling'er. ”

When the cabin opened, the first thing that came into view was a pair of delicate and small embroidered shoes, which wrapped around the delicate little feet. About thirteen or fourteen years old, with an unusually small body but a pair of extremely disproportionate breasts, which can be seen as choppy at a glance. With a childlike face as white as jade, a crisp and lovely voice, and a pair of Lu Xu's favorite crescent moon eyes, she is like a beautiful girl in a comic.
