The countries of Middle-earth are like stars, countless.
But many of them basically belong to the kind of pulling up a team and occupying a few hills, and then a country can be established.
Of course, this kind of kingdom generally has a short lifespan. It is annexed and disappeared for various reasons in three to five years, and often it cannot even keep its name. If it really wants to grow, it must have the support of monks.
There was a time when a big country wanted to follow the path of Daxuan collecting Qi and transporting people's thoughts to cultivate in order to grow and develop, but the ambitious emperor was just telling his confidants about this idea, and then the next day, He was nailed to the city wall of his own capital by a sharp sword, and he became a chicken that slayed the chicken and warned the monkey. Naturally, the country did not stay for a few days before it was divided and annexed by the surrounding countries.
If a country wants to exist for a long time, it must not only have the support of the sect, but also must have monks who can hold the scene. Even the suzerain powers that are controlled by several door-to-door control are not peaceful.
The above are all newly compiled information by Feng Qingxiu. Now, he is walking on the streets of the capital city of Ba.
In the capital of Pakistan, there is a royal market that has been very lively recently, and many monks have come here because there is a trading conference that is about to be held here.
It is said that a batch of goods was transported from Qiong'an Port. It took their third prince, An Changming, for more than ten years to enter Xizhou along the land route of Xizhou, and then go to Haijing to buy them, and finally they can take the sea expedition ship. Come back, if it wasn't for the national war, these things would only be divided up by the Pakistani royal family and the sects behind them.
Walking along the street to the end, Fangshi was built in a huge house. It was the summer season of Liu Qinghehuaming. Many monks gathered in twos and threes and occasionally traded with each other. The cultivation base was generally very low, and the Qi training period was Most of them, there are few foundations, and there are only three or five golden cores, and there is not one of Nascent Soul.
In contrast, his current "Golden Core" cultivation base is considered extremely high in this market.
Feng Qingxiu took a look and found that these goods were purchased from Haijing City and were used by low-level monks. Those medicinal pills were basically cleared goods that were about to expire. Fab was also discounted by Yuzhifeng during the season, so there was no more. Watch note.
"This senior," a young man at the foundation-building stage, wearing a yellow four-clawed dragon robe, walked up to Feng Qingxiu, smiled and clasped his fists in a salute, "You have an extraordinary cultivation base, I think you don't look down on these mortal things, why don't you please let me? I'll show you if there's anything you like."
Feng Qingxiu couldn't forget it, and immediately remembered that this young man was the one who left with the Kun-Lai outer sect female disciple when he went to sea at that time. Only slowly nodded.
"In Xia'an Changming, I don't know which school seniors are taught?" The young man asked with a calm face, while leading Feng Qingxiu to a heavily guarded pavilion, lifted the bead curtain, and entered the siege of Hundred Pearls. Illuminated lobby.
"Loose cultivator." Feng Qingxiu said indifferently, Hai Guozhu said that those who can't recognize the Taiqing dark pattern are definitely not the three major door-to-door. For this kind of middle door, it's just a loose cultivator, otherwise they will do everything possible to think about it. Having a relationship with Taiqing brings a lot of trouble.
There is a concave table in the middle of the hall, among which there are several beautiful women singing and dancing, surrounded by a dozen or so monks, who are either Jindan or Foundation Establishment Great Perfection. But there is no barrier, you can easily see the sound of singing and dancing on the stage.
The young man named An Changming didn't mind either, he just took out a book, handed it politely, and said with a smile, "This time, the more valuable spiritual objects, it's better for seniors to appreciate them."
Feng Qingxiu carefully flipped through the booklet and found that dozens of Haijing's building foundation pills were written on it. On the last few sheets, there were Yuanying Pill, Jiuyezhi, Danzhu Changhe, and Longxinginseng. The things used in the Yuan Ying period have different days such as "three days", "ten days", and "twenty days" written on the lower left, and on the last page, the painting is of a young woman, who is He An Changming. The woman from the outer sect who left the Haizheng Ship together, Bai Ruolan, who used to live in the same room with Ji Mingyu, and who had not passed the exam later, wrote "Thirty Days" in the lower right.
"This is a Kun-Lai girl. Although her cultivation is not high, she has a lot of knowledge. She is good at distinguishing various spiritual objects. She knows a little about the world's magic. It is very useful to teach the younger generation. It has been recognized, and the foundation is stable, but Dinglu is a good wife and concubine." Naan Changming explained.
"Oh?" Feng Qingxiu shifted her gaze from the book to his face, and asked lightly, "If Kunlai is investigated, what will you say?"
"Senior is joking," said An Changming earnestly, "Although Kun-Lai is big, but it is a million miles away from Central Continent, how could it be possible for a disciple of the outer sect to inspire a crowd? Furthermore, when the disciples of the outer sect of Kun-Lai left the Western Continent, Some people have persuaded Central Continent to be dangerous, but they refuse to listen and insist on coming, so why should Kun-Lai care about the lives of these disciples?"
After a pause, he said again: "Kun-Lai disciples have always been wealthy, if they really came to Central Continent, some monks couldn't help but kill them, how could they come?"
Feng Qingxiu tapped her fingertips on the booklet and asked casually, "Then when will these goods be sold?"
"None of these will be sold," An Changming sighed in a low voice. "If you want any kind of goods, we will fight for the number of days marked on it for our country. When the time comes, we will give the goods with both hands."
Feng Qingxiu's face was noncommittal, but what she thought was that he didn't have time to spend a month in this broken place. Then, do you want to kill it
While thinking about it, I suddenly felt a strong pressure coming down, and the cultivators present changed their expressions, because this was actually the coercion of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and they couldn't help but look up at the door at the same time.
A white light swept across the main entrance and instantly landed on the first seat, but it was a handsome man in a black robe, with a deep outline and a gloomy face, he looked gloomily at the monks present, and his voice was low: "Take you all. Take out everything here and give it to me."
Hey, is this Xiao Yuan
Thinking that this guy, as the national teacher sent by Kun-Lai to the Great Xiao, not only did not want to pay back, but also colluded with the expats to modify the Inquiry Stone, which almost broke the selection of the dragon and the phoenix at that time and aroused the people's uprising. At that time, he ran really well. Hurry up, when he leaves, I have to find a time to clean up the portal.
Feng Qingxiu silently picked up the tea and waited for the situation to develop. Now that he has restrained his breath, he has even made a disguise. With Xiao Yuan's strength, it is impossible to recognize him.
Someone next to him immediately handed the book of spiritual things to Xiao Yuan in the first seat, but he was directly knocked away, and said coldly: "Don't come with these useless things, I am an elder sent from outside the Ziyun Dao, and now I'm just being polite to you all. , If you delay again, don't blame me for being rude!"
As soon as these words came out, the color of the people in the room changed, and some even got up and left in a hurry.
In the land of Hexi, if it is arrogant and domineering, no one dares to provoke Zi Yundao. Those monks do not need to reason, whoever dies will die, and no one can reason if they kill them. They can only try to escape into Taizhou. In the land where the sky meets the sky, incognito, perhaps there is still a little vitality.
That An Changming also froze for a moment, hesitated for a while, or gritted his teeth, and said to a servant next to him: "Go, let someone take out the things."
The attendant replied in a low voice and left soon.
Several people left the table, and soon, only three or four were left.
At this time, more than a dozen maids held jade boxes in their hands, slowly entered from the back door, and walked to the stage. Behind them, there was a woman dressed up like a peach and plum, but it was Bai Ruolan. He didn't look like he was being forced, instead he was serious as if he was participating in some kind of assessment.
Feng Qingxiu wanted to rob someone, but when she saw this situation, she frowned slightly and did not act rashly.
With a flick of Xiao Yuan's fingertips, the dozen boxes were opened one by one. The strange fragrance of various rare and precious spirit grasses attracted the surrounding monks to move, but he frowned and was obviously not satisfied. In the end, His eyes fell on Bai Ruolan.
Bai Ruolan lowered her head slightly, showing a soft and gentle expression.
Xiao Yuan sneered: "How many years have you been studying the outer door?"
This question was too profound, so profound that Bai Ruolan's expression became stiff when asked, as if someone had been hit with a sap.
So Xiao Yuan skipped him, turned around with his sleeves, and left the hall.
He is now being hunted down by a master. There is nothing he needs here, so naturally he will not waste it here. As for grabbing these things in front of him - one is that he has no time to sell the stolen goods, and the other is that if he does it, it will definitely attract this small country to counterattack. It would be troublesome to be entangled by these people and let that person catch up.
"Senior, wait!" Bai Ruolan suddenly stepped forward and said, "Although I haven't stayed at the outer gate for long, there are some things that will never disappoint you."
Feng Qingxiu frowned, it was the first time he had met a woman who was so eager to sell him.
An Changming held her on the side, and said, "We agreed, I'll recommend a sect for you, don't hold back, the monks present are all choosing you, and you can only join the big sect if you choose."
He didn't tell her that he was selling her this time, he just told her to show her talent after coming here, so that these senior cultivators could take a fancy to them and be able to worship.
She's really good at deceiving, and she still hasn't reacted, but she's a little too active, giving him a headache for a while.
"Those people aren't as powerful as him!" Bai Ruolan looked at Xiao Yuan who was called by him, saw the other person's temperament was cold and extraordinary, she moved in her heart, and judoed towards Xiao Yuan, "I know some secrets in Kunlai, but I don't know. Are seniors willing to listen?"
An Changming's expression turned cold, he let go of his hand, moved his lips, and wanted to ask, but when he saw Xiao Yuan walking back, he finally didn't ask, he just signaled those attendants to hurry up with the spirits and retreat.
Bai Ruolan was deceived by him, and she could only be considered to have picked it up from the Haizheng boat. If you really pissed off a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be a big loss. There are still many good goods here. As for this woman, now that she can't keep it, she can only follow her.
"Woman, I have also been to Kun-Lai," Xiao Yuan looked at her with a sneer, "Do you know how to cheat me?"
Bai Ruolan lowered her head, thinking of the book she had read before, she thought for a while, and said decisively, "Little girl dare not, but senior really dare to listen?"
Only then did Xiao Yuan look at her, suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched her right shoulder, and took her away with her cries of pain.
Feng Qingxiu raised her hand quietly, and a wisp of invisible sword energy adorned the corner of Bai Ruolan's clothes.
An Changming then walked into the concave platform and clasped his fists to appease the monks: "Sorry for disturbing everyone Yaxing, Changming is really ashamed, I have small profits later, please forgive me, our transaction will continue..."
Feng Qingxiu put down the teacup, turned and left, chasing in the direction Xiao Yuan left. Although he was a little disappointed that he couldn't do anything for the time being, it was more important to help his fellow students and clean up the door.
Seeing him leave, An Ziming just sighed and continued to greet the few remaining monks.
Now that his country is in a precarious state, he really has no time to care about other things.
——
Feng Qingxiu followed Xiao Yuan out of the city and went north all the way. Seeing him flying hundreds of miles, she threw Bai Ruolan to a river bank and said coldly, "Tell me."
Bai Ruolan was frightened by the other party's rude behavior and was very aggrieved: "You are so rude..."
Snapped!
Xiao Yuan slapped her in the face. He was chased and killed recently. If it wasn't for the help of Mr. Li, he would have died a dozen times. When he was extremely irritable and depressed, how could he have a good talk with her, but he was just cold and cold. Gloomy: "Woman, don't challenge my patience."
The slap was extremely heavy, Bai Ruolan felt her teeth loosen, half of her face was swollen, and a wisp of blood flowed out, her eyes were terrified for a moment, and she hurriedly said, "Daxuan Mizo, I know Daxuan Mizo."
"Crack!" Xiao Yuan slapped her again, grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up, sneering: "You think I have never been to Kun-Lai? Want to lie to me?"
"No, no," Bai Ruolan struggled painfully, blushing before she choked out a few words, "Wang, Wang Qin, Chuan..."
Xiao Yuan seemed to have heard something, his expression changed, then he let go of his hand, and said coldly: "Speak clearly, or I will throw you to feed that fish!"
He pointed, and Bai Ruolan followed his finger to look, but in the rushing river, a huge fish-shaped shadow was looking at them with two dark eyes, and the teeth exposed outside his lips were three inches long.
Bai Ruolan was about to faint from fright, her entire clothes were soaked by the cold man, and she trembled: "Da Xuandang, the capital of the country back then, yes, there is a secret treasure, it is the Taizu, left it, I, I know the entrance, Harmony, Harmony, Judgment."
"How do you know such a thing that Daxuan's relics don't know?" Xiao Yuan suddenly pulled out his sword and slammed it across her neck.
"I, I dream," Bai Ruolan said in a panic, "dream about the past life, the past life, it was Da Xuan..."
"Where is the entrance, and what is the law?" Xiao Yuan asked.
"Entrance," Bai Ruolan desperately recalled what she saw back then, "Yes, it is Yuanya Mountain, Daxuan Ancestral Tomb, there is a mural, there is a ghost mural, on the right hand of the ghost, there is a stone bead, Fajue, Fa Jue is 'new people and old people, eternal hatred, Kun-Lai should be destroyed, Daxuan should be prospered'."
"What else?" Xiao Yuan pressed the sword down a little, and cut a thin scar, and blood flowed out.
"No, no more!" Bai Ruolan said in horror.
"Then go to hell!" Xiao Yuan's long sword was so hard that he was about to cut off her head.
"Ah!" Bai Ruolan instinctively closed her eyes, but she didn't feel the expected pain, so she opened her eyes in panic.
However, he saw the cold and terrifying cultivator open his eyes angrily, but there was an extra blood hole between his eyebrows, and his brain was slowly flowing out.
"Ah—" She rolled and crawled to the side, but slipped her foot and stepped into the river. The giant beast in the river waited for a long time, jumped up suddenly, and bit her.
But she saw someone suddenly pull her in the void, the big fish bit the air, and her fangs brushed against her swollen cheeks, and she could clearly smell the strong fishy smell.
Sitting on the grass, she stopped shaking slowly and looked up at the person who pulled her.
That handsome man was the one she had seen sitting next to An Changming in Fangshi before, and the other was looking at him with a frown: "How can you just follow this guy who is not a good person at first glance? Go, don't you want to live?"
"I, I want to go home, woo wo—" Bai Ruolan suddenly recovered, burst into tears, heartbreaking, "I want to go home—"
Zhongzhou is too scary, damn it, why does she think the villains are cool too, why does she think that those remarks that say Zhongzhou is bad are brainwashing, why don't you listen to persuasion, time travel novels are all lies! She didn't want to stay in such a ghost place where people could kill at every turn!
Feng Qingxiu shook her head, and when she was tired of crying, she said lightly: "It's alright, don't reveal your identity casually next time, be on guard, and find out which sect you want to worship first, I'll go first."
"No, let me go with you!" Bai Ruolan grabbed him tightly, "Please send me back to Xizhou, I will repay you, I have a good friend who is the daughter of a high-level Kun-Lai peak master, she will definitely help mine!"
"The place I'm going is very dangerous and I can't protect you, are you sure?" Feng Qingxiu asked, what kind of brain is this, if you say such things casually, you still think you're not dying fast enough
"But, but... Senior, I, let's leave here first, okay?" Bai Ruolan asked, barely calming down.
With the lesson, she no longer wants to do the dream of cultivating immortals, and it is safer to farm and fight against immortals than cultivating immortals!
"Okay." Feng Qingxiu pulled her up and left the river bank, ignoring the corpse on the ground.
When the two disappeared into the clouds, a broken ring on Xiao Yuan's neck emitted a burst of blue light, and after a few breaths, he plunged into Xiao Yuan's body, healed the wound on his head, and then slowly moved his fingers and sat up.
He looked at the direction where the two disappeared, and murmured: "The great sacrifice has been looking for something for so long, and he always thought that Wang Yin could open it, but he didn't want this woman to know the key. Could it be that the secret key is in that place, not that of the Daoist Punisher? ?"
Then they have been biting the Dao Master Xing Dao to death all these years, and they have forged a deep hatred several times. Isn't it all asking for trouble? If the high priest knew about this, I wonder if he would regret the blood and bones that killed himself, so that the two sides would not die.
Do I need to inform the big priest about this? If he gets that thing, the world is afraid that no one can control it.
However, if I can get the Taizu's legacy, maybe I don't have to serve the enemy...
