The old house of Yu's family occupies an entire valley—not the kind of valley that is next to cliffs and cliffs. The slope is not high and the trend is gentle. You can go down along the stone steps and winding roads.
This terrain is actually a bit similar to Qianxiu Temple, but Qianxiu Temple is a "land outside the world" of Qingxiu, with few traces of artificial carvings, not even street lights and chime bells, and basically no other entertainment except for the great teacher Luo Qingshi .
The Yu family's old house is too spectacular.
There is no such thing as reincarnation wood, which can grow wildly wherever you catch it, Xi Ping can only look out through the reincarnation wooden plaque on Yu Chang's body. Seeing that a road for cars has been dug out in the valley, the road and the driveway are separated... Tsk, how old are cars
There are tens of kilometers of long ropeway chains hanging in the air, and the machines can send small boxes from one end of the narrow valley to the other. There is a stop three miles away. You can go down to change clothes and rest, and the servants will come up quietly like shadows to change the incense. , Update diet. The sound of the pipa flew out along the iron rope, and the aroma of wine and powder scattered all over the sky, as if hanging the Lingyang River in Jinping in the sky. The boxes are all engraved with extravagant third-class inscriptions, even if they fall from the sky in an accident, it will not hurt the people inside.
Qianxiu Temple only has small bungalows deep in the woods, but the Yu family's old house is full of pavilions and pavilions, and several houses in the middle of the mountain are comparable to royal palaces. At this moment, the sky is not yet bright, the lights in the valley are brightly lit, and the all-night singing and dancing has not ended. With the ears of the monks, they can hear the silk and bamboo and the sound of laughing in the wind.
After hundreds of years of reproduction, the nouveau riche family in Yujiawan has flourished, but only the patriarchs of the past generations are eligible to settle in the old house. Xi Ping took a quick glance and found that almost all those with power at home in this generation are half-immortals—the ones who rely on money to pile up and can’t draw a single spell. Or Qilinwei.
The only difference between these semi-immortals and mortals is that they are immune to diseases, have long youth, and can enjoy the immortal artifacts and elixir of enlightenment rank. Therefore, it is said that each of them has a wife who can't be counted in the palm of his hand, and has as many children as he recognizes. Incomplete.
As soon as Xi Ping's spiritual sense penetrated into the reincarnation tree on Yu Chang's body, he felt a strong aura, and asked Yu Chang, "Is there a mountain protection array?"
"Naturally, there are a variety of mountain protection formations here, and there are hundreds of large and small ones, which are as solid as gold," Yu Chang said, "If you had this kind of defense back then, those cities would not be destroyed by the South He easily trampled on it. Alas, I went there at that time, it was devastated, it was a pity to look at it.”
That's right, Xi Ping didn't realize it for a while, thinking why Jinping didn't have such a magic circle
After listening to Yu Chang, he added: "It's just a bit expensive. You have to burn thousands of taels of Bai Ling a year. Nan Wan is not that rich."
Xi Ping: "..."
So rich!
Among the four kingdoms of the present age, the Northern Li is barren and sparsely populated; the Western Chu is mountainous and has inconvenient transportation; as for the Southern Shu, there is only a small section on the mainland, and the rest are small islands like donkey dung balls; no one can compare with the big Wanshui Road is accessible and the plain is vast. Moon gold plating and various new technologies are probably led by Dawan. Because Wan people regard gracefulness and simplicity as their beauty, regardless of the customs and cultures of various countries, the gentry regard Wanfeng as the most elegant. Taking Western Chu as an example, although Chu has a large population, almost all restaurants here have more than one tael of silver per capita. It is an improved dish.
Wanren overseas, even if they don't show it clearly, they still want to carry the legendary "Wanren style" and secretly look down upon the world.
Xi Ping never imagined that one day, the wealthy Dawan would be pitifully "not so well-off" by a rich man from a poor village - what he said was still true!
With this figure alone, even Jinping's finances can't be burned, let alone other state capitals. His third brother raised two "Enlightened" and "Lu Wu", the whole country... and even people all over the four countries, and the compensation for death and injury would not cost so much every year!
This kind of magic circle group maintained at a sky-high price cannot be for the sake of ostentation, and even if you have money, you will not be defeated like this.
It can only be to protect greater wealth.
Every year, the gold and silver in Xichu are flowing out, the price of silver is getting higher and higher, and the price of goods is also getting higher and higher. The slightest disturbance in the market can make people frightened, and the most barren places grow the most luxurious vines.
"There is no way," Yu Chang said, "There is no business in Yujiawan now, either the moon gold plating factory or the elixir field, you have to do it, you have to do it, you have to do it. When I was young, my family could still It’s impossible to live by farming for a hundred years, the mountain roads are too difficult to walk, and it’s impossible to transport moon gold and use Lingshi to degrade the immortal weapon, so we have to use water and electricity, and the hydrology and geography have changed, so we can’t grow anything.”
Xi Ping said, "It's not as good as Tao County."
Yu Chang replied pertinently: "It's not the same."
Yu Chang wore a loose robe, and wherever he passed, servants, priests, and even members of the head of Yu's house retreated and saluted.
He looks like a famous celebrity, with his wide sleeves draped in the wind, and he doesn't squint as he passes by.
Xi Ping thought sourly, "Tch, you look like a dog."
He provocatively said again: "Bringing me in is blatantly communicating with foreign enemies. Will you not bite you in the face?"
"Backfire? Of course." Yu Chang brushed his arm quickly in a place where no one was around, and lifted the blindfold on it a little, only to see bruised and purple blood vessels on his arm that hadn't healed yet. , The whole arm trembled when he jumped, which was shocking.
Yu Chang put down his sleeves as usual: "Psychic phase backfires and grades, otherwise I can't do things in daily life—for example, if the master's family is in danger, if you want to save him, you have to push people into the well and drown them half to death. How can this be counted? For a centuries-old priest like me, as long as he doesn't kill and set fire to the master's house, the backlash won't be fatal."
It is not fatal, but the meridian will be broken, the consciousness will be like a fire, and life will be worse than death.
However, these unbearable pains for others just matched his Dao heart, and it was something he could use to temper himself. For hundreds of years, this spirit face has been tearing him apart, and at the same time pushed him to the pinnacle of foundation establishment.
There is such a strange Taoism, such a special cultivation method.
But admiration is all admiration, Yu Chang, this kid's practice is simply "betrayal", and his spiritual appearance can allow him to take advantage of loopholes for hundreds of years, let alone a mere blood contract
Xi Ping's heart shivered: He promised to do three things for me within ten years. If I were gone, he would be fine with nothing to do.
The smile on the corner of Yu Chang's mouth seemed to be tattooed, and he was turning a pair of jade balls in his palms to relieve the pain in his meridians, and he was also thinking: In that secret realm, he was interrupted by Tai Sui's nonsense, this is a good way to test his depth Chance.
The blood contract is a bondage no matter what, if it is really a silver pewter gun head...
Yu Chang said lazily, "If you're not busy, I can take you around. August 15th is just around the corner, so wouldn't it be convenient for you to do it?"
As soon as Xi Ping heard it, he knew that he hadn't held his fart well, but before he could think of an excuse, Yu Chang had already laughed and jumped down from the middle of the mountain.
"You have to look carefully," Yu Chang said with a smile, "The Yu family occupies the largest green mine field in the world, monopolizing 30% to 40% of the country's moon gold plating, and has been standing for hundreds of years. This mountain guard array is not just for fun. There are many things I can't figure it out either, but Tai Sui's cultivation base and knowledge are naturally higher than mine, so it's not a big problem, is it?"
Xi Ping: "..."
He has a fart knowledge of cultivation!
It was almost dawn in Chu State, but it was still early in the dawn in Jinping, far away in Dawan, and the rooster just crowed.
Xi Yue was not on duty that day, so she stayed overnight in the Yongning Hou Mansion.
However, he is also considered half of Feiqiong Peak, and has inherited the good tradition of General Zhi—never wasting time sleeping. In the middle of the night, when she was meditating, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Xi Yue's ear: "Yue Bao'er! Help the world!"
It's him!
This sound is different from the previous few times, more "real" than before. Xi Yue opened her eyes suddenly, and for a moment had the illusion that Xi Ping was by her side, subconsciously looking around.
But it was quiet in the room, and so was the Hou Mansion, an early bird was chirping in the small courtyard, but no one answered. Xi Yue's eyes dimmed for a moment, he first touched his neck, but found nothing, and then he remembered the reincarnation wooden sign slowly.
Gathering her mind, when Xi Yue picked up the reincarnation wood, her voice was already very calm: "What's the matter?"
Xi Ping: "Hurry up, hurry up, help me memorize the magic circle, and I will treat you to Xichu's special melon seeds later! Dawan will definitely not be able to buy them!"
Open your mouth and make a wish, but you came back to show your face... Xi Yue squeezed the reincarnation tree's fingers tightly, paused, and said with care: "Well, pass it on."
"I can't pass it on too much! If I can pass it on, I will recite it myself," Xi Ping said, "Where are you, are you safe?"
Xi Yue: "At home, Ann..."
Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes flashed, and his spiritual consciousness crossed thousands of mountains and rivers in an instant, Xi Yue gasped.
Immediately afterwards, he fell into the broken dharma bracelet... beyond the Three Realms.
Xi Ping separated the front and back yards of Cui Ji's small courtyard in the broken dharma bracelet, so as not to disturb Wei Cheng and them, and put Xi Yue in the back garden.
As soon as Xi Yue stood firm, she saw a huge pond in front of her. The water in the pond clearly reflected the Yu family's old house at this time like a mirror.
The next moment, Xi Yue was struck by inspiration, and vigilantly avoided by taking a wrong step. Ban Ou feeds on spirit stones, and his senses are far sharper than monks of the same level. He has trained beside Pang Jian for several years, and his reaction is so fast that the hand that patted his head fell to nothing.
Xi Yue stared at that familiar hand in disbelief—the pampered hand, with only a little callus from the strings of the zither, and it hurts to hold the pen for more than a quarter of an hour. The hand went up, and the breath trembled uncontrollably.
"My God," the young master Yang Zi chased after him and pressed on his head, "Old Pang, what kind of fertilizer did you feed you? You grow up so fast. Why don't you call Er Jin to honor Senior Brother Luo?"
It seems that he is not the one who has not heard from him for five or six years, as if he just went out to drink a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus oil.
Why is this bastard so heartless
Xi Yue stared fiercely at that unchanged face, and suddenly forgot that she could already speak.
The next moment, the bastard's former owner found that his elder brother held his head and turned his face towards the water surface: "Hey, don't look at me anymore, I'm still the same, nothing new. Help me remember the various magic circles on the water surface The position is extremely urgent, and we will talk about the past in a while!"
Xi Yue took a deep breath, almost with a bit of hatred, turned her head and glanced at the dazzling formation reflected on the water.
With this sweep, the young human walker regained his professionalism, and frowned: "Where is the magic circle, it's too extravagant."
Xi Ping said without shame: "Those who owe me money, how about the magic circle?"
Xi Yue stared intently for a while, then shook her head: "I can only understand part of it."
"It's okay." Xi Ping knew that he was very talented in this field, and he could hardly forget his observations. "Remember it first, and analyze it later."
Xi Yue ignored him and focused on the formation on the water.
Xi Ping walked around him a few times, snapped his fingers meanly, and transformed into a big soft chair and a small table that could recline on people according to the song and dance hall of the extravagant Yu's old house, thinking After thinking about it, I touched a bunch of Xichu special snacks from the Snake King Immortal Palace—I don’t know which Lu Wu is so greedy, in the Snake King Immortal Palace, these things are everywhere.
"Sit and watch." Xi Ping asked for someone, sat down by Xi Yue, and stretched out his hand to transform into a folding fan.
Fearing that Xi Yue's brain would be burnt out by remembering such a huge magic circle, he put one hand on Xi Yue's shoulders, and fanned others courteously with the other - what can't sell intelligence can only sell strength.
Looking at the quiet young face, Xi Ping slapped it while thinking "I am very relieved": I am more promising than when I followed me...
"hiss!"
He was just rejoicing when Xi Yue, who was not paying attention to the magic circle, suddenly kicked his knees, flung Xi Ping's hand on his shoulders off guard, grabbed it, and bit it down hard.
At the same time, he didn't take his eyes off the magic circle!
Xi Ping: "..."
He didn't dare to pull his hand hard. Although the one who came here is divine consciousness, it will be embodied as a human body by the broken dharma bracelet. , Xi Yue's teeth must be broken.
He didn't even dare to swear - Yu Chang, that bastard who suffered from the plague, didn't stop all the way, and the magic circle would miss it if he made a wrong eye. He was afraid of offending Xi Yue.
With no other choice, Xi Ping had no choice but to scold Pang Jian in his heart: Grandma's huge dog, what a gentle, courteous and thrifty little brother I gave you, what have you taught him
Is the General Administration of Tianji Pavilion spreading mad dog syndrome!
Pang Jian, who was inspecting Qinglong Pagoda for the last time, sneezed on the clouds in Jinping. He rubbed his nose and was a little puzzled. After the reform of the new emperor, the factories in the southern suburbs of Jinping were not allowed to work day and night, and there was less black smoke and fog. Too much, why are you still sneezing
Could it be that someone scolded him behind his back
At this time, there was a "thump" in the wind, and a secret letter was passed to Pang Jian.
Pang Jian Yujian stopped in mid-air, pulled out the barrier-breaking bow and poked it behind him, leaned on the bow with his hips slanted, and saw that it was a message from the Tianji Pavilion branch in Guzhou, writing: Lu Wu of the Zhao family was exposed, there were casualties, and the whereabouts of several people are still unknown. Report to our department before disappearing, Ling Yunshan may take action in the near future.
Pang Jian was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes fell on "Lingyun Mountain may make some moves in the near future"—Lingyun is the state religion of Nanshu.
This time, Lu Wu's large-scale operation was to hunt down the remnants of the Zhao family, but after all, it also penetrated into other people's countries. A group of well-trained foreign monks sneaked in, and they knew how annoyed Ling Yun was with their toes... When this matter spread, Bei Li and Xi Chu would definitely be alert.
trouble.
Pang Jian quickly sent a message to several branches of Tianji Pavilion near the border, ordering them to immediately overhaul the border inscriptions. Regardless of their identities and whether they have certificates or not, all monks entering Dawan must be registered and tracked, so as to strictly prevent foreign monks from entering Dawan territory to plot wrongdoing.
There is Lu Wu in Dawan, so it would be bad for other countries to have "gluttony" and "nine tails" at that time.
Having said that, others didn't know that the Zhao family had good hands and eyes before they defected, so they must have known Lu Wu to a certain extent. This time to foreign countries, it is impossible not to guard against this move. I heard that the task is urgent this time, and the fairy weapon that Xuanyin Mountain updated for Lu Wu has only recently arrived, so I am afraid that something went wrong due to haste.
Sure enough, the communication was not smooth across the South China Sea, and even Zhou Ying sometimes missed.
Pang Jian was planning to write a letter to Bering to ask questions, when suddenly his expression turned cold: No!
Zhou Ying probably expected this situation from the day Lu Wu was established—although the four great spirit mountains used to have their own calculations secretly, they were still passable on the surface. If Qiu Sha hadn't been born in the sky, it would be an iron law that monks born in the eight hundred spirit mountains would not be allowed to cross the border of other countries without special summons.
At that time, who was the powerful person in Xuanyin Mountain who was tempted by the magic star to approve Lu Wu
Zhou Ying is not afraid that Lu Wu will be exposed, it is good to be exposed, once Lu Wu is caught in other countries, the other three Lingshan will definitely respond, and it is certain to treat him in the same way as others. When monks with malicious intentions from other countries enter the country, Dawan can only further increase defense expenditures, and Lu Wu will have a better chance to grow stronger.
How could Zhou Ying be a man of righteousness for the country and the people? He is obviously driving a nail between the four great spirit mountains to sow discord.
