Chaofeng Peak.

In the Wei Shuai Cave Mansion, Chen Tianhong summoned the deputy marshal, the guard general, and the guard supervisor to convey the orders of the sect.

Mi Yuande said: "The head of the sect has reset the 'Money and Grain Division', which is to prepare for the upcoming war." The stipulated Tianwei handed over 50,000 taels of silver and 5,000 taels of gold every quarter, which was not a small amount. What's more, in accordance with the arrangement of the commander of the guard, we re-expanded the number of guards and increased the number of Tianwei to 9,000. The monthly cost is very large. Undoubtedly, this is a big challenge. ”

Guan Sheng had no management ability, and was only good at leading troops, so he did not speak.

Sun Weiyi said: "Such a huge amount shows that the war is imminent." Now, Benwei's economic resources basically depend on experience and hunting. The newly opened spiritual fields are not yet useful. ”

The others did not continue to talk.

"It's useless to talk about difficulties, and it won't work if you can't do anything. Without it, unconditionally complete regular tasks in accordance with the regulations of the sect. Chen Tianhong decided, "The internal operation is still in charge of Senior Brother Mi and Senior Brother Sun. The matter of going out to practice is in charge of Senior Brother Guan, Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Dong, and Senior Brother Xu. The six of you make a detailed plan, and we'll look into it then. I'm going to go to the Ukiyun Division, and the pressure there's even more. ”

Subsequently, Chen Tianhong went to Diandaofeng and met with Zhen Buyi, Cao Cao and others. Everyone sat around the makeshift Floating Cloud Palace, and Zhen Buyi spoke first.

"I heard that several people from the top of the mountain have decided to make a joint appeal, asking the sect to appropriately reduce the prescribed amount. Shall we go and join in the fun? Otherwise, the newly founded Fuyun Division would have to hand over 30,000 taels of silver and 3,000 taels of gold every quarter, which is really too difficult for a strong man. ”

Pu Siyi had nothing to say, holding the wine gourd, and took a sip from time to time. It looks pleasant.

"The Holy Martial Sect has reset the 'Money and Grain Division', and most of the other eight factions will also be reset. The situation of the nine major sects re-competing for the spiritual material resources of the three major domains will be staged again. Therefore, the space for obtaining resources will be drastically compressed, both inside and outside. Therefore, the difficulties we face are obvious. However, it should not be difficult to hand over this amount on a quarterly basis. ”

Cao Cao continued to analyze: "Everyone knows that all along, the largest gold, silver, copper, and iron mines on the Shenzhou Continent have been controlled by the Nine Great Sects. Some sporadic small mines belonged to the big families and some powerful Xiuzhen sects. So, I think we can focus on that direction. ”

Zhang Jian added casually: "It's okay to rob the tomb or something." It's always easier to get ready-made. After speaking, his neck shrunk and he smiled awkwardly, "Brainstorming, you should think about it." ”

"On the side of the Floating Cloud Division, it is still more reassuring. Chen Tianhong said, "This matter is jointly responsible for Senior Brother Zhen, Senior Brother Cao, and Senior Brother Liu. I'm probably going to put more of my energy into the Phoenix Guardian. ”

Chen Tianhong said: "How did I bump into such a good thing all of a sudden." ”

Cao Cao said: "Senior Brother Chongming, act quickly. ”

"Hmm......" Chen Tianhong immediately understood Cao Cao's intentions, nodded and said, "Set off immediately tonight." I will secretly mobilize the Phoenix Tianwei to participate and strive to win it in one fell swoop. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: "It's really a pleasure to cooperate with Senior Brother Chongming. In my opinion, we immediately split up. Strike tonight, make sure you get it done. So as not to have many dreams at night. ”

As he spoke, the god mysteriously took out a map and spread it out on the table. All eyes slowly converged on a small red dot.

Chen Tianhong said: "Tonight, we will meet here." ”

Cao Cao said: "I think so too. ”

"Uh-huh!" Zhen Buyi deliberately cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Senior Brother Chongming, it's a matter of one yard to one yard, and it can't be confused." ”

Chen Tianhong was stunned for a moment, and his mind turned around, and he immediately understood Zhen Buyi's intentions, and said, "As long as you guarantee the monthly amount of Phoenix Tianwei." The rest of the income goes to the Floating Cloud Division. ”

Let's chirp~

Zhen Buyi lowered his mouth, spread his hands, and said, "This ...... Senior Brother Chongming, can you not do this in the future. You said that you are always so open-minded that we don't have room to play. He pretended to pause and said, "However, having said that, both the Phoenix Tianwei and the Fuyun Division are under the control of Senior Brother Chongming, and most of the heavy responsibility of attacking Niutou Mountain has fallen on the Phoenix Tianwei. Therefore, I suggest that the Floating Cloud Division and the Phoenix Tianwei be divided into threes, I don't know what you think?"

Liu Chan said: "It's very proper! perfect!"

The others laughed and said nothing.

Zhen Buyi said again: "Zhen has been cultivated by Senior Brother Chongming, so he has today. Zhen still has many shortcomings, and I hope you can make suggestions and opinions in time. Screening will be humbly accepted and strive for improvement. ”

Everyone laughed.

The Money and Grain Division was re-established, and Elder Mingzhu was in charge, and its meeting place was naturally in the study hall.

In the early morning of the second day when the sect's order was issued, the outside of the study hall was full of disciples. Led by Hongxue, Yuan Fenghuang and others, they intend to collectively petition for the Money and Food Division to appropriately reduce a part of the amount.

It's not surprising that this is a heritage for thousands of years.

When Elder Mingzhu walked out of the study hall, the discussion stopped instantly, and Mingzhu said in a deep voice: "You are looking for me, if you have any demands, come one by one." ”

At this point, everyone is staring at each other, and no one wants to be that one. Finally, Yuan Phoenix stepped forward and spoke.

"Uncle Mingzhu, the amount of 50,000 taels of silver and 5,000 taels of gold handed over by Tianwei every quarter is really too big. Please cut some of it appropriately. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Tianwei's disciples to take care of the whole Dao cultivation. This is undoubtedly a disguised weakening of the sect's strength. ”

Yuan Fenghuang belongs to Qinglong Tianwei, she just wanted to appeal for Qinglong Tianwei. Unexpectedly, the people of the six heavenly guards came to her alone. She is not a clumsy person, so the word Qinglong was erased.

"That's right, what Senior Sister Phoenix said makes sense!"

"Yes, Senior Sister Phoenix understands righteousness and speaks for everyone, she is really a model for us!"

“......”

The crowd immediately chimed in.

Mingzhu nodded, and then asked, "Is there anything else the others have to say?"

The crowd was silent.

At this moment, the two elders Long Hui and Qingyuan fell from the sky, and the two elders had strange smiles on their faces.

Elder Long Hui said: "Senior Nephew of the Phoenix, last night, the Phoenix Heavenly Guard and the Floating Cloud Division joined forces to capture the most dangerous peak of the Nine Saints Mountain Range, the 'Niutou Mountain'. It turns out that there is a huge mixed gold and stone mine under Niutou Mountain. ”

Elder Qingyuan said: "Perhaps, when you encounter difficulties, you should first find a way to solve the difficulties, instead of thinking about escaping and dodging by habit. Let's all go down!"

Yuan Phoenix couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Edgeworth immediately leaves. This time, she was a loser. The more she hated Chen Tianhong in her heart.

Hongxue was glad that she didn't speak, but when she appeared here, her situation was better than that of Yuan Phoenix.

After the disciples left, the three elders walked into the study hall one after another. In the quiet room, Yuan Xiaofan was nibbling on a red apple while copying a list.

Elder Long Hui shook his head and said, "In this way, how can you talk about competition!"

Mingzhu and Qingyuan laughed at the same time.

Mingzhu said: "Two junior brothers, can you determine the scale of that mineral deposit?"

"It's very big!" Qingyuan said, "When my senior brother and I came back, the people of the Phoenix Heavenly Guard were still clearing the dangerous peaks and ravines around Niutou Mountain. The two of us estimate that the scale of that mineral deposit is at least 10 billion, or even 100 billion. Master Chongming's nephew sits on this mineral deposit, and the growth of the inner strength of the Floating Cloud Division and the Phoenix Heavenly Guard is probably unknown. ”

Long Hui said: "Master Chongming's nephew is really a talent. To rebuild the order of the outer gates, he fully adopted Cao Cao's suggestion, broke the traditional rules of the nine gates, and replaced them with a protective magic circle. It greatly enhanced the cultivation enthusiasm of the outer disciples. In the Sanctuary, he followed Liu Chan's advice and cracked a secret place of the 'Hunter Group', which was extremely rich. This time, it was a surprise and a thunderbolt to capture Niutou Mountain. In all this process, the most valuable part - wisdom is all someone else's, and he just exerts a little effort. But if these men left him, nothing could be done. Could it be that this is the highest level of clumsiness?"

Mingzhu said: "If it's this scale, then my money and grain division is very easy to handle." Chongming, this kid, is really good at taking advantage of loopholes. ”

It turns out that there is an unwritten inheritance of the nine major sects: in times of non-war, there is no money and grain department, and all the mineral resources surveyed by the disciples of the sect are all managed by the sect; in wartime, there is a money and grain department to coordinate the soldiers, horses, money, and grain, etc., and the disciples of each hall and each hall are required to hand over the gold and silver property of the money and grain division in the prescribed amount, but the mineral deposits surveyed by each hall and each hall are operated by themselves, and at the same time, they are not affected by the abolition of the money and grain department.

It is this rule, such as sealing the temple, that has given birth to the powerful inheritance branches such as Guangming Peak and Danxia Peak.

Jiusheng Mountain Range, near Niutou Mountain.

Phoenix Tianwei and Fuyun Division, a total of hundreds of people were injured. Under the dispatch and assignment of Chen Tianhong, he evacuated in an orderly manner and returned to the sect to recuperate. Others rested in place.

At that time, Zhen Buyi arrived with Changqin and others in the array.

Changqin looked at the terrain near Niutou Mountain for a while before coming to Chen Tianhong's approach.

"Senior Brother Chongming is really a genius, and he can see at a glance the three peaks of the tiger's head, tiger's tail, and tiger's claw in the second ring, which are the barrier of Niutou Mountain!"

"Senior Brother Changqin has a good reputation! I take the liberty to ask Senior Brother Changqin to go out of the mountain to help, and I also ask Senior Brother to forgive me and Haihan!"

It turned out that Huwei Peak, the peak where Chen Tianhong, Cao Cao and others stood, was closer to the hinterland of the mountain range than Niutou Mountain. The two peaks of the tiger's head and the tiger's claw adjacent to the tiger's tail peak form a semi-ring between each other, which happens to form a semi-ring on the bull's head. Topographically, it is the barrier of Mt. Niutou.

Chen Tianhong had already expected that if he wanted to operate such a mineral deposit outside the sect, without strong strength and the support of the protective array, even if he had endless wealth, it would be in vain. Therefore, he sent Zhen Buyi to the array hall early and asked Changqin to go out of the mountain to help.

Changqin looked at the nearby terrain in his eyes, and already knew it in his heart, and said, "This is one of the most dangerous areas of the Nine Saints Mountain Range. So, the danger from inside the mountains is much higher than from the outside. In my opinion, the protective array 'Tiangang Array' is set up at Huwei Peak, and the attack array 'Tianli Array' and 'Tianjian Array' are set up at Tiger Head and Tiger Claw Peaks respectively. This three-fold combination is the most beneficial. Around Niutou Mountain, there is a defensive array 'Tianmen Array', and it is best to set up only two gates, namely the Gate of Life and the Gate of Death. I don't know what the junior brother thinks?"

Chen Tianhong said with a smile: "Senior brother, I don't know anything about the way of formation. This matter is all up to the senior brother, and I only need to provide spiritual resources. ”

"The junior brother is too humble. Changqin smiled faintly and said, "Brother Foolish, this is the beginning of the formation." It is estimated that it will be completed in three days. Therefore, in the past three days, I have to work hard for my junior brother to protect the Dharma in person. ”

"That's nature!" Chen Tianhong nodded.

After Changqin began to set up the formation, Chen Tianhong signaled Guan Sheng, Cao Cao and others to go back to Niutou Mountain to rest and recover their spiritual power and energy as soon as possible. He took the white horse, raised the Open Heaven Demon Sword, and headed towards the Snake Core Peak in front of Hutou Peak.

Not for anything else, just for the white horse's attention has been in the direction of the snake core peak.

The snake core peak is fifty miles away from the tiger head peak. When a man and a horse slowly approached the Snake Core Peak, and there were still ten miles left, a bright light lit up on the Snake Core Peak. A turquoise vertical pupil was reflected in the bright light.
