Flower Thousand Bone Story-The End of the World Road

Some things are destined to be unavoidable, so we can only face them.

This is true of life and death, and so is the separation of lovers.

The inner courtyard of the Wugou Palace in Liancheng was as quiet and serene as ever, without contention with the world.Bai Zihua ([-]) who was meditating suddenly opened his eyes, the door of the quiet room was gently pushed open by a slight breeze, a light and shadow flashed in, and the door closed silently again.

After a while, Bai Zihua stood up, walked out of the quiet room, walked through the corridor, and stood on the waterside platform with his hands behind his back. At this time, the flowering season was over, overlooking a pool of lotus leaves, he remained silent for a long time.

Duan Nian Sword Spirit stood obediently behind him, waited for his master's left sleeve to flutter in the wind, and immediately got in.Three times a day, I was ordered to go to Huagufeng. The bamboo chairs, doors and windows were covered with thin dust, and there were still spider webs in the corners.The owner, who always loves cleanliness, specifically asked him not to clean it. Although he didn't know why, he didn't dare to make a claim.

"She...hasn't returned yet."

Bai Zihua raised his head in a daze, and seemed to see her figure again under the shadow of the moon. Over the past hundred years, they had been together on Huagu Peak day and night. They had spent many nights together, cooking tea and playing chess. Reading at night, I occasionally glanced out of the corner of my eye to see her biting her lip and meditating while playing chess, as if she was frozen in a painting forever.

All along, she has been like a ray of fragrant wind, sometimes cool and thorough, sometimes warm and charming, always lingering and waiting by his side, and it is a matter of course that she will never leave him, just like the peach blossoms in the Palace of Unfeeling, which will last for four seasons and never fade for a thousand years.Now, the fragrant wind suddenly dissipated, and he felt panicked, and for a moment, he didn't know where to go.

After waiting for several months, I finally got the news of safety. The Hall of Seven Killers celebrated the return of the Holy King with a feast, and Changliu was also forbidden to guard the gate of the mountain as his honor and went to retreat.But there is no news of her in the two places, and there is no sign of her in Huagufeng, Xiaogu, where did you go?

Suddenly, I felt a soreness rushing up my eyes, no one was there, I let the two lines of tears flow down freely, half remorse and half annoyance.He also knew that these years he had been a little bit unlucky, he used piano and chess to entertain each other more, and seldom combined joy and double belt. Could it be that just because of this little joy, she forgot the meaning of husband and wife for many years and ran away with the other one?

"Xiao Gu loves me as ever, she won't!"

Although she didn't admit it in her mouth, but in her memory, she was full of wind and moon, she frowns and smiles lightly and is cowardly, but she secretly shows her intention to keep her.It was him, it was his fault!he shouldn't...

Practice!Practice!The first time he opened his eyes after he was born was the beginning of his long-term Taoist career, and he has been practicing since then, and he will continue to practice for thousands of years.I thought that the tenth heaven was the pinnacle of immortal cultivation, and he almost destroyed the world in exchange for the highest cultivation base. Looking at the big world of void, the tenth heaven is just the beginning, and there are endless mysteries beyond the six realms... .....There are mountains beyond the mountains, and the cultivation of immortals and demons is endless...But there is only one person in my heart!

For the first time in his life, Bai Zihua disliked Taoism, lost his bones, everything became meaningless, even if he was alive, he was just a walking dead.

"Xiaogu, if you come back, Master will always be with you, and will never leave you half a step, never again!"

Sleepless all night as usual, waiting for the morning.

At dawn, Bai Zihua (Dabai) came out fully dressed, the chief steward who was waiting quietly outside the door, and a group of court ladies holding toilet utensils knelt down to pay their respects.After getting along for a few days, the butler already knew the preferences of the new city lord, so he didn't need anyone to serve him at all, but the lord of Liancheng is so honorable, so the rules and etiquette are still indispensable.

After Bai Zihua passed by, the manager Fang dared to stand up, looking at the back of the new city lord, his whole body was covered with a faint halo, revealing the loneliness and arrogance of the vast world, with a sharp edge that is hidden but not exposed, light but not Scattered Xianwei.But for some reason, the chief steward who has served three generations of city lords in Liancheng always felt a sense of bleakness in this figure, and wondered in his heart: The new city lord has jumped from an unknown fairy to the richest lord of the lotus city in the world, why is he not there? Happy but so lonely?

The main hall of Wugou Palace is deserted and deserted, and the city lord is young and has not been on the throne for a long time, so he is not familiar with the affairs of the city, and Mrs. Jinlian presides over the affairs in the side hall for the time being.After Bai Zihua took his seat in the middle, he did not order the guards to summon him, but tapped the armrest of the throne with his slender knuckles. The elders of Liancheng immediately felt the reaction, but they did not hurry. Get ready, those who drink medicine blow their breath and wait for it to cool down, and those who meditate have to complete three weeks before reaping their exercises... until Bai Zihua had his third cup of tea, the twelve elders of Liancheng finally arrived... ...six, just enough to make a big decision.The six elders looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't know what to do, so they had to wait curiously for the new city lord to speak.

Bai Zihua bowed in his seat, his handsome face carved out of ice showed no expression of impatience, his eyes were deep and penetrating, and his eyes swept over everyone one by one, saying:

"The elders are invited to come here for the matter of the five-element spar. The five-element spar is the cornerstone of the Xuantian magic circle. The long-term stock has been exhausted. I have sent people to Liancheng several times to discuss the purchase. This is an urgent matter. I don't know everyone. After the elders have discussed it, how will we deal with it?"

"Although Liancheng has never been involved in the government affairs of the fairy world, and has only focused on business, Changliu is the head of the fairy world, and the Changliu Shangxian and my former city lord, Wugou Shangxian, have sworn brothers. Business is not nothing more than human feelings. Considering a slight increase in the original price, it doesn't matter how much, let the city lord decide."

Mrs. Jin Lian paused for a while when she said this, her eyes were squinting at the sleeveless fairy, her heart was self-evident.All the elders here know that the new city lord is the younger brother of Shangxian Zixun, and Shangxian Zixun died for Bai Zihua to stay forever. I don't know what her younger brother thinks?If the past grievances are forgotten, it is reasonable to increase the price within three times.If the new city lord has a grudge against Changliu Shangxian, he may take the opportunity to retaliate five times or ten times.In this way, even though Liancheng benefited temporarily, it can be used for a long-term plan, and the evil will definitely stay for a long time, and there will be endless troubles in the future.

Bai Zihua thought for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and said:

"The system of the Xuantian magic circle is huge. Although the Five Elements crystals are not expensive, they are the cornerstone of the magic circle. If the foundation stone is unstable, the power of the magic circle will be greatly reduced. Tens of thousands of immortal cultivators are stationed in this area, and all of them are The elite of hundreds of battles, although there has been no battle between immortals and demons for a hundred years, there are still small conflicts. It is up to them to sacrifice their lives to keep the peace and tranquility of the immortal and human worlds. Ruolian City takes this opportunity to increase the price of spar, greatly Make a windfall, let the immortals stationed in the magic circle, how embarrassing!"

Does the city owner want to keep the original price unchanged?Mrs. Jin Lian thought about it, and not only frowned, she could not be shrewd to be the lord of Lian City, but she couldn't be too kind, and she couldn't worry about the country and the people.With a slight smile, he bowed and persuaded:

"City Master, maintaining peace in the world is a matter of Changliu. Liancheng City is mainly engaged in business and business. Now in the entire fairy world, only Liancheng has a large number of five-element crystals. No matter how many times the price is raised, Changliu will have to buy it. Fishing in the dry lake It’s not a long-term strategy, it’s a wise move to keep the water going for a long time, raising the price three times, I think it’s the most appropriate.”

"No!" Bai Zihua waved his hand, categorically refusing: "Gentlemen love money and get it in a way. There are five elements crystals in the Lotus Mountain Range, like mud and sand, and only need to be mined and transported. And the Lotus City is also in the fairy world. Within, and benefit from the Xuantian magic circle, do your meager strength for the safety of the fairy world, so why worry about gains and losses."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.Mrs. Jin Lian was so angry that she was trembling all over, she didn't need anyone to support her, she stood up tremblingly, she didn't treat Bai Zihua as the city lord at all, she put on a posture of disciplining a prodigal son, she stomped on her crutches in grief, and taught:

"You...are you the owner of Liancheng, or the head of Changliu? Xuantian magic circle is related to the life and death of the world, and everyone knows it. But there is the master of the world, Bai Zihua, the upper immortal, and Changliu and the immortal world below." The various sects assisted from the side, and Liancheng also fulfilled its responsibilities, paying tribute on a monthly basis, and never shirked the debt. However, everything in the world has a price, and rare is the most expensive. The five-element spar should be paid by Liancheng. There will be no less, Changliu wants more? Even if Changliu Shangxian comes to ask for it in person, Liancheng must stick to the bottom line, at least double the price, and want nothing! Unless the old man swallows this breath and closes the pair Old eye!" Before finishing a sentence, he gasped and coughed non-stop.

The Sleeveless Fairy hurriedly went forward to support Madam Jinlian, patted her on the back, and winked at Bai Zihua, saying: "City Master, although Liancheng is rich in the world, you must follow the ancestral precepts for every major event. I'm probably not familiar with the position, but I'll get used to it gradually in the future."

"Ancestral teachings?" Bai Zihua was taken aback for a moment, remembering that he was indeed given a booklet on the day he ascended the throne, he thought he had read it, but he didn't take it to heart.

"The first rule of the ancestral teachings is that in business and business, don't ask right or wrong, only seek profit." Wuxie reminded in a low voice kindly.

"Don't ask about right or wrong, only seek profit!" Bai Zihua repeated it silently in his heart, no matter how harsh it was, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.He also finally understood why Wugou insisted on retiring after taking over the position of city lord. He was afraid that he would have no face to face his former brothers who were full of heroism and chivalry. world.

"Li!" Bai Zihua walked back and forth several times on the high platform of the throne. In all the books he read in Changliu since he was a child, the word "Li" was rarely mentioned. Now that it was mentioned suddenly, he didn't know So, I had to calm down and think carefully.It seems that if he doesn't connect his intentions with the word "benefit", it is estimated that he, the city lord, will accomplish nothing.

world!world!All living beings in the world are bustling and bustling like ants, so why they come here is nothing more than fame and fortune.In fact, there is no conflict between "profit" and the common people in the world!Bai Zihua pondered for a while, then sighed, as if he had just made a big decision, he frowned, and tried his best to utter the question that was a bit awkward for him:

"Madam, how much profit will Liancheng make from hoarding the Five Elements spar?"

"The minimum is three times, and the maximum is five times." Mrs. Jinlian rolled her eyes and replied straightforwardly.

"Then Liancheng violated the rules of heaven and the long-term prohibition, and smuggled goods from the ghost world to the demon world. How much profit did it make?"

"Well... a hundred times, but the risk is too great. If there is a mistake, the money will be lost." After hesitating for a while, he still told the truth. There are some things that need to be known to the new city owner. The scourge, Liancheng regards it as a great source of income, but it is not allowed by the laws and regulations, so it must be done secretly.

"Let me ask Madam again, how much profit can I make if I open up the six realms of business from the Xuantian magic circle?"

Mrs. Jin Lian was startled, as if a flash of lightning flashed across her heart, she said: "Thousands of times, immeasurable!"

Bai Zihua didn't speak anymore, but just raised his hand.Outside the hall, two guards carried a huge book case. On the book case was a reduced topographic map of the six worlds, fully revealing the mountains and rivers of the fairy world, the human world and even the demon world. This diagram is half exhaustive.

Put your fingers firmly on the top of Liancheng, start from this, move forward slowly, stop at the enchantment of Changliu Xianshan, pause for a while, then go west, meandering all the way until the eye of the Xuantian magic circle, and then start stop.

When he spoke again, Bai Zihua's expression became much more natural, and he talked with eloquence:

"Nowadays, although there is the Xuantian Magic Circle to maintain the peace of all walks of life, it also cuts off the business of exchanging what is needed. The grains and miscellaneous grains of the world, the herbal medicines and panacea of ​​the fairy world, and the firearms and fuel of the demon world, the materials that are easily available in this world have become the resources of other worlds. Living in a rare commodity, all living beings suffer from scarcity. I want to rebuild the commercial road for the world, and establish an invincible foundation for Liancheng, all elders, please listen to my orders."

All the elders of Liancheng stood up in awe.Mrs. Jinlian was stunned on the spot, and after a moment she smiled wryly, and said, "The city lord wants to use the five-element spar in exchange for Changliu Shangxian's approval to open the Six Realms business roads for Liancheng? It's a good idea, I'm afraid His Majesty won't take the risk , Opening up the way of business is prone to omissions in the Xuantian magic circle, which allows the monsters to take advantage of it. Your lord is thoughtful, but he is too kind, and he doesn't pay much attention to economics. In his eyes, it is estimated that the life of a grassroots Worthier than thousands of gold and silver."

After pondering for a while, the gentleness in Bai Zihua's eyes faded away, showing his domineering intent, and said in a deep voice:

"Why should he agree! When Chang Liuzun ascended to the position of the co-lord of the world, he once said to all the sects in the fairy world: If one day, Zihua's strength is not as good as his virtue, and his virtue does not match. This promise will last forever, and the world will learn from each other! Now that the Xuantian Magic Formation is difficult to maintain, and Changliu’s financial resources are exhausted, he can’t retreat in the Palace of Heartlessness. In times of crisis, Lian The city should have the duty to replace it for the livelihood of the common people in the world.”

"After Changliu Shangxian left the customs, what should he do if he blames Liancheng?"

This question revealed the worries of all the elders.

"Seeing Xiaoli forgetting his life, he cherishes his life when he does great things. Isn't he afraid that he will stay in the world for a long time to question the crime of Liancheng's fornication in the demon world?"

One sentence was deafening. All the elders looked at each other in blank dismay. After a long time in the mall, the older they got, the more conservative they became. On the contrary, they were not as good as a young man who had just ascended the throne, and there was a bit of shame on their faces.

"Does the city lord want to replace the superior?" Mrs. Jinlian still finds it incredible.

Bai Zihua smiled lightly, with an inexplicably desolate smile, and said slowly:

"If there is any disagreement, I am willing to resign as the City Lord of Liancheng and bear all the responsibilities."

"But...for thousands of years, Liancheng has been focusing on economics and has never interfered in the military affairs of the fairy world." Mrs. Jinlian didn't know how to dissuade her. Liancheng has been doing business for thousands of years. More money, less martial arts, how to fight with Changliu?

"Liancheng ancestral precepts say non-interference?" Bai Zihua turned around, lowered his head and asked the sleeveless fairy?

The sleeveless fairy hurriedly bowed and replied: "No!"

Bai Zihua looked at Madam Jinlian: "Madam, do you have any other questions?"

Mrs. Jinlian was stunned, she didn't expect that a young Shangxian who had just ascended to the position would have such a deep and thoughtful palace. He was by no means an ordinary Shangxian. The fairy world has always been unknown?Mrs. Jinlian fell into hard thinking for a while, and Bai Zihua didn't wait for her reply, he stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the pair of lovely golden doll statues in the corner of the hall, and sighed:

"The man is gone, I can't remember it. When the five immortals swore to live forever together when they were sworn brothers, now there is only one left. It's better to let them all be together."

At this moment, Mrs. Jinlian and Fairy Wuxiu looked at each other, and they seemed to understand that the new city lord hated Changliu Shangxian so much!
