He took the gift list handed over by Ah Hu, glanced at it casually, and threw it aside lightly. He patted Dahuang's head and then stuffed a large piece of wild mountain into the mouth of the Rabbit who was squatting aside with an angry look on his face.

Ling’s specialty earth dragon meat.

As the lord of a small town, your daily life is so bland, ordinary, and golden!

As long as you sit in the city lord's palace and do nothing, every day there will be big and small forces, heads of big and small chambers of commerce, as quietly as spring breeze and rain, turning boxes of rare treasures into simple and low-key gift lists, quietly giving them away

In Lu Qian's hands.

All kinds of rare treasures are of no value, but what they want are just some extremely ordinary things in the eyes of the city lord.

For example, during a certain period of time, let the patrol team of the city guard temporarily turn a blind eye to a certain neighborhood.

For example, there is a certain dandy in the prison of the city lord's palace. He hopes that one night, the door of the cell where he is imprisoned can be opened quietly.

For example, there are too many prisoners in the town, which puts huge pressure on the public expenses of the City Lord's Mansion. However, a large family's mine outside the city just lacks enough mining slaves, so they volunteer to reduce the financial pressure on the City Lord's Mansion.

.

For another example, the head of a local snake family suddenly died away from home. The eldest son raised by his concubine and the second son raised by the principal wife competed for the family property, so they sent large sums of filial piety and asked the wise city lord to make the decision for him.

In short, Lu Qian's life is very comfortable now, and he is very reliable in Zhenzi Ninth City, and his prestige has reached full value.

Who dares to disrespect the Ninth City, a huge town?

There is a Buddha Lord behind him, and there are four Buddhas who are directly connected to his sect as his backers... and he is famous for his violence and arrogance, and he often kills the Buddhas of the prison-suppressing lineage.

This is very scary.

In particular, no one can figure out how far Lu Qian's personal strength has improved after refining three Shenglong Pills and an ancient Buddha relic with the help of Monk Yuanjue.

The pinnacle of the Great Bodhisattva?

Or the realm of Buddha?

The cultivation of magic power and the realm of Taoism should not be so exaggerated...but his golden body and magic body may have reached the realm of Buddha, right?

This huge Buddhist gate, with trillions of Buddhist practices, has a total of more than 350 Buddhas.

If Lu Qian's golden body truly possesses Buddha-level power, then it can't be regarded as a half-hearted Buddha. If placed in the ninth city of Zhenzi, this would be an absolute overlord-level existence.

"My life is so empty and boring." Lu Qian patted the heads of Rhubarb and Rabbit, threw a few dried fruits to the big parrot, stroked the green snake coiled on his arm, and sat in the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion.

Next to the lake, I looked at the snapping turtle with most of its back shell exposed in the lake.

Dahuang and the others have a decent physique, although they are seven to eight times, more than ten times larger than their normal counterparts.

Only the snapping turtle is getting bigger and bigger.

He is now entangled in the lake, and the diameter of his back above the water is more than three hundred feet, like a pitch-black hill, and a pitch-black cold air is rising out of it.

The huge lake, eroded by the black cold air, turned bone-chillingly cold.

However, the coldness of the snapping turtle is extremely mysterious. The temperature of the lake water has been much lower than the freezing point. The lake water has just turned into a viscous shape similar to spicy soup. It is extremely cold, but it has never frozen.

Occasionally, the snapping turtle moves its claws and flicks its tail, and the lake water, which has turned into black and blue, ripples in circles. The density of the lake water has increased nearly a hundred times and slaps against the rocks on the shore. Amidst the sound of the water ripples, the rocks

The lumps were like melted sugar cubes, layer after layer being licked away by the lake water.

Heavy footsteps sounded, and Yu Dianhu strode in.

"What's the matter?" Lu Qian rubbed the skin of the rabbit's head, ignoring his "ouch" roar, and rubbed it desperately.

"Big fat sheep... er, no, distinguished guests are here." Yu Diaihu licked the corner of his mouth: "Mo Qianqiu, the owner of the Chongshan, came to visit with a heavy gift... Well, it was a heavy gift, and he looked very greedy.

.”

Lu Qian stood up and glanced at Yu Diaihu in surprise.

These days, there are more and more people going to the city lord's mansion to give gifts every day. Ahu, Yudianhu and the others have long been overwhelmed by the mountains of rare treasures. To be able to make Yudianhu show such an attitude, such a

Surprised, it can be seen that Mo Qianqiu really gave him a huge gift.

"Go and have a look... Well, let me serve tea, and serve real good tea. Just serve the pack of 'Molong Danzhu' that... which store sent you yesterday, the tea tastes not bad." Lu Qian

He tapped his head lightly and sighed in a low voice: "I, the city lord, have caused such trouble, how can I say this? Who gave me a gift, but I may not remember him?"

Entering the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, in the flower hall dedicated to entertaining distinguished guests, Lu Qian smiled and looked at Mo Qianqiu, who had an anxious look on his face.

Zhenzi Ninth City, Chongshan Hao, is a chamber of commerce that specializes in side business. The Mo family is the mainstay, and its shareholders include more than a dozen powerful families from Zhenzi Ninth City and several surrounding towns.

The Chamber of Commerce is extremely powerful.

In the ninth city of the town, Chongshan's financial resources are enough to rank among the top ten. Chongshan has built twelve forts outside the city, and has nearly 100,000 private soldiers to guard it. The Chamber of Commerce has armed forces in more than a dozen surrounding towns.

Among the private armed forces, he even broke into the top three.

Mo Qianqiu is an obviously pampered, Qingjun man who has never suffered any hardships. A short beard on his chin makes him handsome and elegant, but also has a bit of the stability that a leader of a large family should have.

But at this moment, his face twitched slightly, and his feet moved slightly uneasily, as if the house was on fire and he was sitting on the roof beam anxiously.

"Master Mo, you obviously have something on your mind?" Lu Qian picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"To be fair to the City Lord, I do have something to ask for." Mo Qianqiu was not polite and went straight to the point: "City Lord, does he know what kind of business my Chongshan No. is engaged in?"

Lu Qian nodded slowly and became the city lord. Of course, he took stock of the information of several major forces in the Ninth City. Chongshan is one of the few large business houses in the Ninth City, and its influence radiates to many surrounding towns. Of course, he focused on it.

I paid attention to the situation of this company.

Chongshanhao is doing a side business.

He specially organized a team to go deep into the wild mountains of the south, survey the mineral veins, and search for the blessed land of caves, spiritual mountains and spiritual waters.

Once a mineral vein with huge mining value is found and can provide astronomical profits, the Chongshan will set up an array, enclose the territory, carefully survey the mineral vein, make an estimate of its value, and then auction it for a huge fortune.

Or you can hand it over to a big force to dig it up, take a stake in it, and distribute high profits on time.

If they find any cave heaven, spiritual mountain or spiritual water, they will also circle it, carefully arrange it, manage it carefully, carve it bit by bit, build it into a fully functional Qingxiu cave, and then secretly trade it to those who need it.

power.

These forces in need are either unlucky people who committed serious crimes in Liangyi Heaven and were forced to flee to the south for refuge, or they are 'careful people' whose families have demands and need to set up secret strongholds in the wild mountains.

In short, regardless of the mineral veins or these caves, the Chongshan Hao's business is always extremely prosperous, bringing them astronomical profits every year.

In particular, even the City Lord's Mansion doesn't know how many secret mansions Chongshan has set up in the wild mountains, and how many secrets are hidden inside.

Mo Qianqiu held the tea cup tightly with both hands, his knuckles turned a little white, obviously he had used a lot of strength.

If not, this tea set for entertaining guests is also a set of fairy treasures sent by someone one day. It is of reliable quality and extremely strong. I am afraid it has been crushed to pieces by Mo Qianqiu.

Staring straight at Lu Qian, Mo Qianqiu whispered: "My family, in the south, something happened in a cave."

Lu Qian raised his eyebrows.

After hearing this, I knew that something had happened to a secret palace on the Chongshan Ship that was unknown to outsiders... Lu Qian nodded and said: "Is there something important in there? Or is it an important person? Can't the Chongshan Ship's own force solve it?

?”

Mo Qianqiu's face twitched violently.

He hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice again: "Does the City Lord know who is behind the Chongshan?"

Lu Qian smiled. He looked at Mo Qianqiu and said leisurely, "Master Mo, just tell me what you have to say. It's urgent, why are you making any fuss?"

Mo Qianqiu was stunned, gave himself a gentle slap, and said with a wry smile: "In normal business discussions with people, I am used to using clouds and fog to cover up my business. Please forgive me, Lord City Lord."

Exhaling a breath, Mo Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "There are important things in that secret mansion, but those things are rare and rare, but they are not important compared with that person. Well, behind the Chongshan number, is the Jiang family

.”

"Huh? Jiang family? Which Jiang family?" Lu Qian looked at Mo Qianqiu in surprise.

"That's the Jiang family left by Jiang Wangu, the ancient emperor who single-handedly almost unified the Liangyi Celestial and Human Races after the creation of the world, when Taoist ancestors and Buddha were still preaching, and when Taoist and Buddhist sects were not yet formed!"

When Mo Qianqiu said the name 'Jiang Wangu', his pale little face suddenly burst into dazzling light, looking proud. He looked at Lu Qian and said in a deep voice: "Zhenzi Ninth

The Mo family in the city actually has the surname Jiang, and is a branch of the Jiang family. Countless years before the establishment of Zhenmo Ridge, the Mo family changed their surnames and specially dealt with some matters for the Jiang family outside..."

Mo Qianqiu looked at Lu Qian without finishing his words.

Lu Qian understood.

Many years ago, a branch of the Jiang family changed their names and transformed into the Mo family, specifically to do some shady jobs for the Jiang family. These shady activities were nothing more than murder and arson, robbery of homes, frame-ups, and rumors.

such as.

It is not unusual at all for a big family, especially a big family like the 'Taikou Zunhuang Jiang Family', to have such an arrangement.

The ancient emperor.

When Lu Qian was bored reading books in Qionghua Mountain, he saw corresponding records in some Buddhist classics.

That was indeed a fierce man. As Mo Qianqiu said, in Liangyitian Buddhism, the Taoist sect had not yet taken shape, the Taoist ancestors and the Buddhist sect were still preaching, and all the great masters were listening devoutly to the Tao. This old man led a group of fierce

The tribesman, Biaomeng's subordinates, relied on their natural divine power to penetrate almost the entire Liangyi Heaven.

Surrounded by thorns, countless jackals, tigers, leopards, and demons, Jiang Wangu almost established a unified human dynasty.

That was also the glorious pinnacle of human race's closest approach to unification in the history of Liangyi Heaven.

As the ancestors of Taoism and Buddha drifted away, great masters from Taoism and Buddhism emerged one after another, established large and small sects, established large and small sects, preached preaching, preached Dharma, occupied mountains and became kings, encircled territories and honored them, Jiang Wangu

The established human power fell apart in just a few hundred years, and Jiang Wangu was also killed by an unknown strong man.
