Tai sui

In May, the anode turned to overcast, and the miasma was hidden under the gloomy leaves.

The heroes who did not see the light did not give up exploring any way out, and rushed to the South China Sea with their own minds.

A long whale that can look like a real one skims across the seabed thousands of feet deep, and the inscription on its belly is shimmering - it is a fairy weapon that can sneak into the deep sea.

This fairy artifact is somewhat similar to the "big squid" used by Qian Ribai when he robbed the Dawan Lingshi escort ship back then, but its posture is much more stretched than that wretched squid.When far away from the mainland, giant whales will occasionally surface to let the people in their stomachs see some sunlight, and sometimes attract real whales.

According to legend, in the past, the people in the southern coastal area of ​​the ancient He Kingdom worshiped whales, believing that after the death of giant whales, they sank to the bottom of the sea, and their corpses could be used to cover all things. Therefore, there is a saying that "whales become gods".

Wei Chengxiang has never seen it anyway, so it's hard to say if it's true, anyway, Lancang, a giant whale that sank, was raising things like "Demons of the East China Sea" and "Great Greed of Western Chu".

She passed by the long and narrow aisle of the cabin with her hands behind her back, inspecting the supply of magic circle spirit stones, and everyone she met stopped to greet her respectfully and called her "Boss Wei"—in the chaotic land, no one did not know Back then, the foundation-building cultivator Qian Ribai was stabbed to death by a little girl who had just opened his mind.Especially after the Zhaoxue people chased her down for many years, giving away her heads one after another, instead of killing her, they left her in a mess and lost her main force, adding a touch of mystery to her bloody reputation.

At this time, she was on board one of the "Three Heroes of Hundred Chaos", a person known as the "Queen Mother of the West", who was called "The Queen Mother of the West".

"Three Heroes of a Hundred Chaos"—the three who almost founded a country in a land of chaos, their names are as arrogant as their actions. The one in the west is called "Queen Mother of the West", the one in the east is called "Eastern Emperor", and the one in the south is called "Emperor Guang'an". ", anyway, it makes people want to shout "Long live, long live, long live".

The two "Dongxi" are from local backgrounds, and they were originally a couple.

The Queen Mother of the West is the old man of Lancang, and the Emperor of the East is the evil spirit of Nanhe Wild.When Nanhe destroyed the country, the Eastern Emperor had already established his foundation, and he was the leader of the local evil spirits. The Queen Mother of the West was a young girl who had just started to learn alchemy.

There are few teachers, families are ruined, and the former noble ladies married evil and muddy legs. It's hard to say how much the Queen Mother of the West voluntarily, but it seems that there are not many in the future.She didn't care too much about Donghuang raising other women outside. After the little white-faced Emperor Guang'an came, the two of them joined hands to dye "East Yellow" into "East Green".

Although the Eastern Emperor had long since had a disagreement with his wife and had only a status with his wife, he couldn't bear such shame and humiliation, and immediately issued an order to kill the two of them in a chaotic place.He has deep roots in the land of chaos. The Queen Mother of the West and Emperor Guang'an were in a state of embarrassment for a few years, thanks to Guang'an being a swordsman who can fight.

These three fought for hundreds of years, until Qian Ribai, one of Dong Huang's right-hand men, capsized in Wei Chengxiang's "gutter" by accident.Taking advantage of Zhaoxue people coming out to chase and kill Wei Chengxiang, Xi and Guang took the Zhaoxue people's old lair and swept into their pockets the wealth of the largest snow wine merchant in the chaotic land for many years.

The weight of Ascending Spirit is not achieved by a "power" composed of a bunch of mobs.The Eastern Emperor had one pair and two, knowing that he had no choice but to deal with the adulterer and adulterer, and he was a tyrant after all, and the Queen Mother of the West and Emperor Guang'an couldn't shake him for a while.So the three of them shook hands strangely to make peace, coexisted peacefully on a continent, and formed an alliance holding their noses.

Not long after that, the Queen Mother of the West sent a letter to Wei Chengxiang, asking her if she would like to be a "guest qing"—that is, a thug and an errand girl.She usually does things for her, and the Queen Mother of the West supplies Lingshi.

With the origin of killing Qian Ribai, the Queen Mother of the West made a very lenient condition, and she was not required to be attached to him, and she also promised not to give her a face.

Wei Chengxiang adopted a bunch of random people in a chaotic place, including Liang Chen and the others who were left behind by the restless cicadas. He was worried about having no money every day. Hearing that there were such good things, he agreed without thinking.Anyway, there is Tai Sui, so she is not afraid of hitting the face.

Later, Tai Sui didn't know if he put eyeliner on Donghuang's side or something—that gentleman is really powerful, and Wei Chengxiang would not be surprised if anything happened—no matter what bad ideas Donghuang had, Tai Sui would be able to do it. Send the message in time.After doing several meritorious deeds, Wei Chengxiang became the confidant of Queen Mother Xi. During this trip to the South China Sea, Queen Mother Xi also brought her with her.

Wei Chengxiang used money to work and was always worthy of the benefactor. The magic circle on the giant whale was arranged by her in an orderly manner, fine-tuned every day, and there was no accident along the way.After inspecting as usual, she walked up to the head of the giant whale. Before she got close, her sense of smell had already been touched—a luxurious and warm fragrance permeated from the bow, and the breath seemed to beckon her to go.

Wei Cheng paused, went down the steps and turned into the bow of the boat.

Standing there was a woman dressed in the old Nanhe dress, the skirt dragged to the ground more than three feet long, the complicated yarn and embroidery made it impossible to count how many layers she wore.However, Master Jiu Xiaoyun, who ascended to the spirit, has a sense of distance that makes people dare not look directly at her. The dress that can bury people is not too grand on her body, but it has become the foil of the fairy concubine.

In the shadow three steps away from her, there was a man with a sword in his arms, dressed in a strong black suit, almost blending into the shadow, whoever he looked at, could stab the altar with pain—it was the sword cultivator, Emperor Guang'an.Guang'an seemed to grow up in her shadow. In Donghuang's sour words, "a dog can't follow him as closely as he does."

"Ma'am, Mr. Guang'an." Wei Chengxiang avoided Mr. Guang'an's sharp edge, and greeted Lord Jin, "The voyage should be coming soon. I checked the boat for the last time, and there is no abnormality."

The Queen Mother of the West turned around when she heard the words, and bowed politely: "It's hard work."

Her gestures were soft and boneless, like a noble lady compared with a ruler, Wei Chengxiang immediately felt that his panting was rough, and he couldn't help lowering his voice by three points: "It should."

Queen Mother Xi opened her palm, and a radiant dragon scale flew out of her palm, hanging on the bow of the boat automatically.

That was Wang Geluobao's invitation.

When the dragon's scales moved, a faint light flashed, and there were a few printed Nanhe characters faintly visible, which said "Xi Wang's mother Qi" - there is also a picture in Guang'an.

The method of personal invitation is to inject aura, which can only be the aura of the invitee himself, and then the invitation will automatically pull the big boat away.Wei Chengxiang was watching all the way. The invitation not only guided the way, but he was also very familiar with the routes of the navies and spirit stone escort ships of various countries. He automatically avoided them and adjusted the speed of the ship.

In other words, no matter where the invitee is, as long as the invitation is infused with aura, theoretically, even lying down can be taken to the legendary "South China Sea Secret Realm" by the invitation on time.

What's more intimate is that Donghuang's invitation led him to another route, which was clearly the same route, and they had never met each other since they set off. The inviter seemed to be aware of the quarrel between them and considered it very carefully.

"Under the suppression of Lingshan, each of us is weak. If it is a mess, we will be wiped out one by one sooner or later." The Queen Mother of the West said in a low voice, "It is said that this time the mid-stage foundation... When it comes to invitations, it is inevitable that some of them will have private festivals. Wang Geluobao wrote in the letter that he will ensure that there will be no disputes, and I don’t know what to do.”

At this moment, Mr. Guang'an, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head and said, "Here we are."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Chengxiang also felt something. The next moment, the invitation card hanging on the bow of the boat turned rapidly, and the giant whale let out a long sigh and floated to the surface of the water automatically.

The surrounding sea water was immediately pushed away by the aura of the giant whale, and the aura was blazing. Then, the giant whale disappeared in place out of thin air.

Wei Chengxiang's spiritual consciousness on the whale immediately enveloped the magic circle and inscriptions on the entire ship to prevent any problems. Then, a subtle sense of space-time dislocation came, and the divine consciousness she released lost focus for a moment.After a while, everyone's eyes lit up, and the giant whale had completely surfaced and stopped beside a small island.

There is no one on the island, clean houses are prepared, all the necessary supplies are available, and the aura is overwhelming - it is impossible to have spirit stones on this kind of reef island with a few acres of land, and it is obviously placed in advance by the entertainer of.

Lord Guang'an and the Queen Mother of the West immediately released their spiritual senses to check their surroundings, but suddenly found that their spiritual senses were limited to a radius of fifty miles around the island.Small characters floated on Xinglong's invitation card, which read: Guests come from all over the world, everyone landed at different entrances to the secret realm, without interfering with each other, if you feel unwell, just crush the invitation to leave the secret realm and leave freely.

The Queen Mother of the West and Emperor Guang'an looked at each other: this Wang Ge Luobao can really keep everyone from meeting each other.

Almost at the same time, a shadow landed on another isolated island, and Yu Chang, whose iris was slightly red, walked out of the shadow, looked around, and frowned.

The chaotic Eastern Emperor, the mysterious sword cultivator from Northern Li, and evil spirits of all sizes from Western Chu landed on his island one after another.

Only a small island full of reincarnation trees was silent.

In the depths of the South China Sea, the lotus root is crawling around like an octopus, and a pair of pupils of different colors are opened.

Zhuo Ming asked repeatedly: "How is it? How is it?"

"Almost all here," Wang Geluobao frowned for a moment, "That...hasn't shown up yet, I can't even feel his invitation."

At this time, Xi Ping, who was "bitten between his teeth and buried alive in his heart" by all the evil spirits, didn't want to sneeze at all.

At the end of April, he swaggered into Zhaoye City, the capital of Nanshu Kingdom, with a team of chariots, and lived in the first floor of Nanshu known as the "Gold Selling Cave": Haishilou.

He eats delicious food and drinks spicy food every day, and even took the time to negotiate two deals.

In the whole continent, the farther west you go, the more hot and unpretentious the folk customs are. For example, Jinping's luxury lies in the meticulous craftsmanship in the silent place, and he always pays attention to "quietness". Dongheng has already exposed a lot. It's just that they are afraid that they won't be able to blind the eyes of foreign visitors.

The Haishi Building is eight stories high, and the walls and roof are covered with gold powder murals. The steam cannot be tolerated, so the lighting depends entirely on pearls.

The body of the building is a large ring, surrounded by an open-air garden in the middle. In the garden, many rare spiritual plants are cultivated with the green mine soil piled up by people. The guests open the rear window to catch their breath, which can dispel the fatigue of the journey.

There are long and short glazed viewing platforms in the middle of the garden, driven by complicated gear bearings, and slowly rotate like the sun, moon and stars.Every evening, a stage rises in the open space of the garden, and the beautiful women are like clouds.The guests will buy gold leaves and throw them down.

How much is a day's living? Zhao Yudan, who had been a "Mr. Enlightenment" in Tao County for eight years, didn't inquire about it.

"Thank you, no need, I'm not hot..." She waved her hand to decline a girl from the Mia tribe who was chasing after her to fan her, and when she saw that the girl was going to help her lift her skirt, she hurriedly said, "No, no need !"

The little girl withdrew her hand in embarrassment, Zhao Yudan smiled at her, and said in a somewhat unfamiliar Shu official dialect: "You are busy with your work, I don't have to wait on you."

After finishing speaking, she pushed the door open and entered a private room on the top floor as if fleeing.

The private room has just entertained a group of guests, and the guests have left, and seven or eight waiters are withdrawing the banquet.These people were extremely agile and made no sound at all. Seeing her coming in, a waiter immediately took out a silk handkerchief, knelt down and wiped the already clean floor in front of her.

Zhao Xidan: "..."

It's not that the eldest miss has never seen the world, but she really thinks that the customs of Nanshu are a bit too much.

She nodded her thanks, hurried into the inner room, and heard a middle-aged man say: "I was thinking, Chu Shu has just opened the driveway, and the freight will be cheaper in the future, so we have to reduce the price of our things..."

Sitting opposite him was a rather elegant man, who looked about 50 or [-] years old and behaved like a senior playboy. He interrupted: "The road is open, and the things are fresher. Why should the price be lowered? Next year when the spring tea comes out, it will It is said that it was just stir-fried in Tao County within three days, and the aura has not dissipated, um...you can come up with a nice name, claiming that it sells five hundred catties a year, and the price doubles."

"Turn...too...no, Boss Cui, isn't that like drinking gold?"

The Chu businessman whose alias is "Cui Buqiong" is exactly Lu Wu's Tai Sui—Xi Ping.

"What do you think they want to drink? Isn't it just because gold is not tasty, so they use tea to symbolize it? Make up a story to make them feel that it is so expensive and it's over. Just don't be too perfunctory if the story is passable. Get to the bottom of it." Xi Ping casually took a sip of plain water, "Otherwise, if you drink a cup of tree leaf bath water for ten taels of silver, will you be mentally ill?"

Zhao Xidan thought of the family's expenses in the past, and inexplicably felt ridiculed.

Seeing her go in, Tai Sui nodded to her, and the middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper hurriedly got up: "Ms. Zhao...Miss."

That middle-aged man is also Lu Wu, who has been active in Tao County all year round, and knows her, Lu Wu's "non-staff person".

Although Zhao Yudan didn't get involved in Lu Wu's internal affairs, he probably knew that they had been divided into two groups over the years. One group was specialized in trouble, and the other was serious about doing business. The two groups could switch identities at any time.

But what she didn't expect was that a powerful man like Tai Sui who should have been far away from the hustle and bustle was also in charge. From what Lu Wu said, it seemed that he was quite lenient.

It is already shocking that the master of Shengling, who has been in seclusion for decades, can figure out how to exchange gold and silver in various countries. This maverick senior is not only familiar with the prices of various countries, but also has a clear account when doing business—— Like an old shopkeeper who has been in the abacus for decades.

I don't know what to cultivate... Could it be Qian Dao?

Before she sat down and had time to speak, someone knocked cautiously on the door, and Lu Wu answered, and saw a rather respectable steward Xiu Yi come in, holding a freshly cut flower of spiritual grass.

The steward wrapped the flowers in silk, handed them to Zhao Yudan, and said in Chu dialect with a smile: "This is the first 'Phoenix Fire' that bloomed this morning. The buds that grew on the day when Miss arrived, I think it was for you." I hope that a fairy-like lady like Miss will not care about the servants, if you really hate Mia's servants, we will ask the foreman to replace all the servants with Xiuyi."

Zhao Xidan was puzzled: "Huh?"

"No need," Xi Ping interjected, "My niece Xi Jing doesn't like people dangling in front of her eyes, just let her do what she wants."

The wing repair waiter hastily responded, put down the flowers and closed the door, and retreated, with disappointment hard to hide on his face.

Xi Ping said casually: "The two races here used to be quite distinct, but I remember...they don't seem to be so tense?"

"Things in recent years." Lu Wu, who was opposite, replied, "Especially after the draft report came, it was still tacit before, and it has been announced in the newspaper in recent years. There was an article circulated by Yu Zao, the governor of Zhaoye University. It is widely said that the average head circumference of Mia people is half an inch shorter than that of Xiuyi people. Small heads mean small brains, impulsive nature, fine work, and things that require brains are not suitable for them; It’s unreasonable, recently an anonymous article mentioned that the mia people’s spirits are not as good as those of the Yixiu people, and the mia people on Lingyun Mountain can’t sit still.”

Zhao Xidan: "..."

She hasn't studied her brain, so she doesn't know how to argue, but according to this statement, the smartest person in Xuanyin Mountain must be Brother Luo from Qianxiu Temple.

It wasn't until this time that she realized that because she refused the girl from Mi A to lift her skirt with a fan, the wing repairmen thought she was dissatisfied and wanted to take this opportunity to exclude aliens... A servant in a restaurant actually also excluded aliens!

"That's not what you said. The waiters in Haishilou even get rewards for their leaders for a month. When they are good, they have seven or eight taels of silver. They are fat jobs. Now many large machinery factories are recruiting workers and apprentices, and they have made it clear that they don't want it." Mia, they're being ostracized everywhere on the main island."

When Xi Ping heard about the draft paper, he frowned thoughtfully.

Zhao Xiedan then asked, "Why didn't Mi'a people argue back?"

Then Lu Wu said: "Nanshu official dialect and grammar are self-cultivated Yiyu. Mi'a people believe in the nature of heaven and earth, and there are not many people who can read and write. The only ones who have nothing to do to write articles and study these things are polymaths in Cultivating Wings. You, go buy a few Zhaoye If you look at the draft newspaper, you will know that people from those places are debating back and forth on it, and there are almost no voices from the Mia people."

Xi Ping glanced around, and the invisible aura spread quickly, and cast a spell around to prevent the walls from having ears.

Lu Wu and Zhao Yudan immediately fell silent at the same time.

Because of wearing a spiritual mask and Tai Sui behaved too much like a mortal, Lu Wu and Zhao Yudan, who had been in Tao County's Forbidden Spirit Land for a long time, always forgot that this was a rising spirit.

In front of the enlightened monks, Ascension Spirit is like a living spirit mountain, releasing a little breath can sweep through the meridians of low-level monks.

After only a moment, Xi Ping restrained his breath again, and said in a low voice: "I suspect that the person who summoned all the evil spirits may not necessarily be Wang Geluobao himself."

He really had always wanted to see what the heroes of the world who went up against the Lingshan Mountain were like, but he just wanted to, and he didn't know how to call them—he didn't have the strength.

Leaving aside Yu Changzhuo Ming who was tricked by him, the others also have their own powers and supernatural powers. Others were not "promoted" by the elders of Chanhui to become Ascension Spirits.None of those who have worked their lives for hundreds of years to ascend to the spirit is a simple person.

Then why is Wang Ge Luobao so confident?

If this person didn't have a tacit understanding with the big evil spirits he invited, he would be a blind and confident fool-but judging from the reactions of the three people in the land of chaos, it doesn't look like the former, and Wang Geluobao was unknown before. According to the legend, there doesn't seem to be any powerful inheritance, and it's really not like a foolish person who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.

There is only one possibility - behind Wang Geluobao is the Mi'a branch of Lingyun Xianshan.

This time, on the surface, it seems that the big evil spirits are colluding with each other, and some individuals in Lingyun's inner sect violated the rules and leaked secrets. In fact, it is likely to be a civil strife between the Xiuyi and Mi'a tribes. The Mi'a tribe wants to use some way to gather these evil spirits together .

The draft newspaper and the new version of moon gold plating, these restless winds have obviously blown to the westernmost part of the mainland, those steam monsters are not in line with the traditions of the Mia tribe, and they will be thrown off by Tengyun Jiao sooner or later.Some of the wise men in the inner sect of Xianshan have obviously realized that if this continues, Mia will have no place to stand in her homeland.

Xi Ping took out a small glass bottle from his bosom, in which was "imprisoned" the invitation card made of Xinglong's scales, the scales gently bumped against the glass bottle, as if trying to lead him somewhere, bumping into the inscription on the bottle Bounce back again.

You don't even give me a map, so I'll follow you wherever you tell me to go?

Xi Ping lightly flicked the bottle: "Let's go directly to Lingyun Mountain."
