salted fish soaring

An apricot-yellow map is spread on the glazed bricks, which can be seen from the outside, almost occupying more than half of the Qiankun Palace.

The last time this picture was taken out and displayed was at the celebration of the millennium of Huawei Sect.

At that time, the time was brilliant, but the mountains, rivers, and lakes were still there, but there was a layer of gloom and gloom.

The Huawei sect dominates Tianxizhou, and Ye Da's roots are deep.Thousands of cities, hundreds of small countries, and more than a dozen overseas islands competed for attachment.

Some of the immortal officials sent by the sect are more noble than the city lord or the king in the territory.The golden statues of the peak masters and elders are enshrined in the immortal temples all over the place.

It is precisely because of the countless fireworks in the mortal world that the senior officials of Huawei Sect can sit firmly in the Qiankun Hall and breathe in all directions.

This is true of the Huawei Sect, as well as all the major sects and great families in the world.

No matter which small corner is cut, it hurts like cutting flesh.

Xu Yun clicked somewhere far away, and the map responded to what he was pointing at, and the winding boundary line lit up with white light:

"Yanshan County has beautiful mountains and rivers, but the location is remote and does not affect the overall situation..."

Before finishing speaking, Peak Master Chongwen immediately saluted: "Please be merciful, Sect Master! Yanshan County is my peak's treasure land! My peak does not occupy much land, and I must not lose Yanshan County again."

Xu Yun ordered three counties one after another, but there was still a dispute in the hall.

An elder interjected in the crowd, pointing the finger at something:

"Today's misfortune, in the final analysis, was caused by their Zhao family, so it is appropriate to cede Zhao Feng's name to the next county!"

Zhao Taiji has a violent temper, his cultivation level is second only to Xu Yun's, and usually no one wants to offend him.

Hearing this, Xu Yun held a sword qi in his sleeve, ready to stop him from pulling out his sword in a rage.

Uncharacteristically, he just sneered.

In the cold and tense atmosphere, Daotong entered the hall and saluted to report: "At the gate of Songyuan, the result has been released!"

Xu Yun could hardly wait: "Who did he choose?"

Book sages and chess ghosts, Qingya Academy and Ziyun Temple.

How Song Qianji chooses is not only gambling everywhere in the comprehension world, but also everyone in the hall can't wait to know the answer immediately.

Dao Tong was oppressed by countless gazes and had difficulty breathing:

"He, he didn't choose anyone! The two saints left alone. Song Qianji still has to go down the mountain and take away all the outer disciples."

There was an uproar in the hall.

"What? Nobody chose?"

"How could this be? He doesn't want the backer who came to his door? Is he stupid?"

Xu Yun was silent, Song Qianji was certainly not stupid.

Not only is he not stupid, on the contrary he is extremely smart and the city is extremely deep. Otherwise, how can he plan a strategy, take ten steps at a time, and play with the entire Huawei Sect in the palm of his hand.

What trick is he trying to play?

"It's a good thing that he doesn't ask for a teacher!" An elder suddenly said, "The atmosphere in the outer sect is bad, and it happened to be uprooted, and a new batch of honest and obedient ones will be recruited!"

Some people hesitated: "If he loses his master, will the county pay it back?"

Someone lamented: "How can you go back on what you have already promised? He wrote hero posts and left a star bureau, and his reputation is flourishing. My sect has turned back on what it said, so where is the prestige? How can I explain to the monks in the world?!"

The dispute remains the same, even more intense than just choosing the county.

"Since everyone blames me for causing trouble, it is reasonable for me to take care of the aftermath." Zhao Taiji's voice suddenly rose, "I have a county!"

After the words fell, all eyes in the hall were fixed on him instantly, just waiting for him to speak.

Only Xu Yun hesitated slightly: "Are you really willing to give up a county?"

Zhao Taiji nodded, fluttered his sleeves, looked around, and said word by word:

"I give up Qianqu County."

Qianqu County? !

There was a lot of surprise.

"Qianqu County has been a treasure land of geomantic omen since ancient times, with vast water pools and a land of fish and rice, are you really willing?"

"Don't you think that offering your hands to Qianqu County, those white-eyed wolves from the outside sect who are not familiar with them, can say a word about my sect's benevolence?"

Only Xu Yun remained silent, only staring at Zhao Taiji deeply.

Zhao Taiji sneered: "Fifty years ago, the ancestors of our clan set up the Tianluo Spirit Absorbing Formation in the central city of Qianqu County, broke through the half-step transformation of spirits, and sucked up the entire county's spiritual energy..."

Regardless of everyone's shock, he continued:

"Since then, there have been ten immortal officials in Qianqu County, each of whom has dried up the marshes, fished and burned forests, hunted, and plundered spiritual energy wantonly. Wait until this year—" He threw a scroll from his sleeve, "This is the immortal official of Qianqu County. According to the report sent by the official this year, he has practiced in the county for a year, but he has not improved at all, you can see for yourself."

It was supposed to be a secret matter that is not easy for fellow disciples to know, but Zhao Shi concealed it in every possible way.Now because of Song Qianji, he no longer has any scruples.

The scroll was picked up and circulated in the hall.The more people watched, the more they frowned and exclaimed.

Zhao Taiji: "Qianqu County is vast, bigger than a hundred Huawei cities, but now there are only 10 people. The people are obsessed with yin and yang, and they are no longer willing to enshrine the temple of gods. And that ghost place, oh, it hasn't rained for three years No matter how great the kid surnamed Song is, he can't just wait for the rain."

Xu Yun yelled angrily: "Qianqu County belongs to you Chishui Peak in name, and your golden statue is enshrined in the temple, but after all, it is the territory of the sect, not your private land of the Zhao family. You act like this..."

Zhao Taiji didn't change his face, and interrupted loudly: "That's true, but the matter has come to this point, you want to give Song Qianji a treasured land of geomantic omen, and return the tiger to the mountain. When he grows stronger and comes back to take revenge on the sect, I have nothing to say." It can be said that you just go ahead and do it!"

Xu Yun almost fell on his back.

Calm down, he suppressed the violent aura in his body.Everything can be put aside, and Song Qianji's fiefdom should be resolved first.

It was almost dusk, according to Song Qianji's temper, he was coming soon.

"We gave him a death sentence, how can we explain to the two saints?" Xu Yun took a deep breath.

"You all don't know that Qianqu County is dead, who knows? The land deed is dripping with blood, and Qianqu County has been connected with his luck from now on. When he goes there, he finds something is wrong, and it's done." Zhao Taiji asked back in the hall, "As for the two At the sage's place, Song Qianji's apprenticeship fails, even if the sage wants to take care of it, but the teacher is unknown, where should we start?"

Xu Yun still hesitated.

Song Qianji didn't have a teacher, did he break up with the second sage?

Deng Wenya made such a big fuss with him, but Xian Jianchen never showed up. Did he forget about this cheap apprentice?

He knew well that the Zhao family had formed a deadly feud with Song Qianji.Zhao Taiji must drag the entire Huawei Sect into the water and tie them firmly to the same front.

But he had no choice.The outer sect disciples hated the sect and blatantly violated the sect's rules last night.

Song Qianji insisted on standing with them today, and actually wanted to take away the entire outer door, he must have evil intentions.

Otherwise, why would he want so many people? !

The battle for the great way is life and death, and now it is becoming a tiger, and Song Qianji has become the sworn enemy of Huaweizong.

Zhao Taiji pressed the last straw: "We let him choose by himself. If he chooses Qianqu County by himself, can anyone else be blamed?"

This time, before Xu Yun could speak, everyone in the hall agreed first:

"We just need to give some hints, so we won't be able to scare him."

"No matter how talented Song Qianji is, he can't guess the current situation of Qianqu County."

Xu Yun closed his eyes and finally nodded.

He said in a deep voice, "Zhao Yuping has been unfair. Starting today, he will step down as the head of the deacon hall. Do you have anything to say?"

Zhao Taiji: "I have nothing to say."

Xu Yun said sternly: "For the matter of Qianqu County, you choose a county from the territories of the Zhao clan and enshrine it to the Zongmen."

Zhao Taiji gritted his teeth: "Okay!"

He knew that Xu Yun would definitely take this opportunity to appoint his confidant to take over the deacon hall, and he would also bite off a piece of meat from him.

But from now on, the Zhao family and Hua Weizong are on the same boat, and no one can get off the boat first.

***

dusk.

Cangshan is like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood.

Song Qianji re-entered the Qiankun Palace.

There are thousands of golden lamps in the hall, shining brightly, far surpassing the setting sun.

All the elders and peak masters of Huawei Sect are ready to fight.

The map was laid out in the main hall, and the head of Xu Yun said indifferently: "The sect has selected four treasures for you, and you can choose one of the four. But no matter how good any place is in the world, it can't be perfect. The four counties have their own advantages and disadvantages. You can choose by yourself. , You must not go back on your word afterwards, and you must not complain.”

"Naturally." Song Qianji said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

He is very polite, and his expression is gentle, and he seems to be easy to talk to.

But no one relaxed their vigilance because of this, but became more nervous.

The hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Xu Yun nodded, indicating to start.

The elders of the Discipline Hall came out and introduced one by one: "Baolin County is located in the south of Tianxizhou, with continuous mountains and forests and humid air. It's just that there is constant rain all year round, and there are miasma and poisonous insects in the forest..."

Every time he introduced a county, a certain place on the map would light up with his fingers, and the mountains, rivers and lakes within the boundary line were shining.

For the first three counties, the advantages have been mentioned in one sentence, and the disadvantages have been highlighted.

Sure enough, Song Qianji shook his head three times.

Song Qianji thought to himself, these places are densely populated and the land is almost full, where should I go to open up wasteland.

If my vigorous "fountain of immortality" is useless, wouldn't it be lonely?

He was about to open his mouth to offer some pertinent advice when he suddenly saw the last county.

The northern part of the map is full of light, and every ditch is golden.

Song Qianji raised his eyebrows: "Qianqu County?"

"Yes!" Xu Yun pointed to the flashing word Qianqu on the map, "In ancient times, there was a mighty man who called himself 'King Qianqu', and the whole county was his paradise."

An elder said: "If you choose this place, you might be able to find King Qianqu's tomb and get his supreme inheritance."

Everyone agreed with their mouths, knowing in their hearts that these words were pure nonsense, Qianqu County had been dug up to the bottom, and the sect had used various methods to explore the secrets, but they did not find any tombs or relics of Da Neng.

Song Qianji was overjoyed.

Dongtianfudi is in the past, how can he not know the virtues of Qianqu County now?

In his previous life, in order to rob tombs and obtain treasures, he traveled all over Qianqu and met many local mortals.

Ordinary people told him about the big and small things of their ancestors in the past century.

Seeing that he did not speak, Xu Yun only stared eagerly at the map and winked to the side.

Signal Zhao Taiji to pretend to block, to show the importance of Qianqu County, and arouse Song Qianji's heart to fight.

I haven't played hard to get, but I heard the young man say: "I want Qianqu County!"

"Okay! Bring the title deed!" Afraid that he would repent, Xu Yun held Song Qianji's hand and said lovingly, "Qianqu County will be handed over to you from now on, and you will be connected with it by luck."

Song Qianji didn't need him to teach him. He pierced his fingertips with spiritual power and forced out a drop of blood, which dripped onto the light yellow thin paper covered with runes.

The runes brighten up, and the contract is formed.

In an instant, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and many elders applauded regardless of their status.

The atmosphere in the hall changed suddenly.

Everyone is happy, and the whole world celebrates.

"Thank you all for giving up your love!" Song Qianji sincerely thanked.

"No thanks, no thanks."

"It should, it should, and it doesn't hurt that much."

The atmosphere became more harmonious. The peak masters smiled cordially and sent Song Qianji all the way to the gate of the palace, and then watched him step onto the Dead Water Bridge holding the title deed, and said that he would come back often to see it.

Song Qianji turned his head, looked at the dark head and waved again and again: "Don't give it away! Go back!"

Xu Yun really hit the road.Song Qianji was relaxed all over, and his footsteps were lighter than the five-color carp in the sea of ​​clouds.

There is true love in the world of comprehension!

In recognition of this kindness, I will ask Meng Heze to send the best of the native products that are harvested every year in the future.

……

The whole field is dark, the night covers the earth, and the stars light up one by one.

A seven-storey treasure ship occupies almost the entire Outer Gate Square, glowing coldly under the moonlight, like a gigantic beast.

"It's Senior Brother Song, Senior Brother is back!" Suddenly someone shouted.

A group of outer disciples were overjoyed.

Song Qianji strode over, his sleeves fluttering.

"Senior brother got the title deed?" Meng Heze asked.

"Well, let's go." Song Qianji nodded.

Zhou Xiaoyun said with a smile: "Senior brother Song can even get such a treasure ship, how can he not get a land deed, why are you worrying about going around!"

Meng Heze excitedly said: "Those people are cunning and cunning, how can they be easy to deal with? Brother Song entered the tiger's den alone..."

Song Qianji said: "The head of the sect and all the peak masters are benevolent people, and we must thank them well in the future."

All the outer disciples looked at each other in astonishment.

They nodded on the surface, but in their hearts they thought that the senior brother was too stupid and sweet, and they really couldn't let the senior brother go alone.

The flowers and plants in Song Qianji's garden have been dug up from the ground with mud, and not a single root is damaged, and they are temporarily stored in the treasure box of Huachun Mountain.

All the belongings of the outer disciples were loaded into the treasure ship transformed from the "Qi Jue Qin".

Song Qianji originally wanted to leave in a low-key manner, but now he is dragging his family with him. If the treasure ship is not enlarged to the largest size, it will not be able to accommodate so many people.

It is impossible to ask the disciples of the outer sect to march [-] miles and reach Qianqu County step by step.

"Get on board."

Song Qianji gave an order, and all the disciples jumped onto the deck.

"Senior Brother Song." A soft female voice stopped him.

Song Qianji turned his head and saw a white shadow flying towards him, like a moth under the moon.

She still wears white clothes and a fence, and she has a slender figure.It's as if nothing has changed.

But when the moonlight shines, the dress made of fairy cloud gauze is full of colors and flutters with the wind, making her whole body glow with a layer of precious light, as if she has a new life.

It's He Qingqing.

"I heard you're going down the mountain...I, I'll play another song for you!"

He Qingqing came in a hurry, her breath was unsteady while speaking.

Behind her were two women, both wearing Xianyinmen's lake-green long skirts and holding green gauze lanterns.

One person hastily persuaded: "You are the elder sister of Xianyinmen, it is inconvenient to play the piano for others at will."

"Even if you want to play, the other party should post an invitation first." Another person said.

He Qingqing bit her lower lip: "No, I—"

Song Qianji said, "No need."

He wanted to leave early to avoid long nights and dreams.

I didn't see Chen Hongzhu in Qiankun Palace just now.He was afraid that the other party would suddenly jump out to stop him like last time.

But this time the game is set.Even if Chen Hongzhu came, he was determined to kill the thief but unable to recover.

He Qingqing felt sad, and asked in a low voice: "Senior Brother Song, will you come back?"

Song Qianji shook his head.

He Qingqing's voice was lower, barely audible: "Then, can I see you? Where are you going, can you tell me?"

"Qianqu County, follow you."

He Qingqing laughed again as if relieved.

Song Qianji sighed: "Fairy Jiangyun has an extreme temperament. You worship her as your teacher. You don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future."

He Qingqing was silent, and suddenly lifted the veil in front of the fence, revealing a mutilated face, and said firmly:

"I have always followed the crowd and let fate fiddle with it. Only this time I chose it myself, and I will never regret it!"

Song Qianji nodded, smiled and said, "Okay, you can go."

He Qingqing didn't leave.She stood there in a daze, watching Song Qian board the boat.

In late spring, the remnant red has faded, and the night wind blows, and the shadows of the trees are bleak.

Is this always the case?Encounters are rare, parting is bitter, and good times are rare.

"Qianqu County, how far is it from Xianyin Gate?" He Qingqing asked.

The young female cultivator who carried the lamp smiled and said, "Elder Sister, there are hundreds of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, of course it is very far away."

He Qingqing shook her head: "One hundred and eight thousand miles, it's very close."

The two were puzzled and looked at each other.

Another person said: "Fairy Miaoyan invites you to play the piano in the bamboo building tonight, let's go, don't miss the time."

The hurricane swept across the ground and overwhelmed a forest outside the square.

The Qijue treasure ship rose into the night sky, rushed into the clouds, and passed through the sea of ​​stars.

Sail to unknown distances.
