Coming to an elegantly decorated quiet room with the fragrant orchid fragrance, the three of them took their seats. After the other servants left, Xiaoyao Cave Master took the lead and said:
"I have something that I don't understand. Since my fellow Taoist is from the East China Sea, if you want to get elixirs, you don't need to come to the Tomb Sheep Ghost Market. Nowadays, the East China Sea sects are very popular in Huaxu Kingdom. If you want any heavenly materials or earthly treasures, the imperial court should enshrine them.
, rather than looking for idlers in the mountains and fields."
"Master Xiaoyao Cave said this too modestly." Zhao Huangguan said with a smile: "The various Shuifu sects in the East China Sea are not united. For example, the Huanbo Palace, Fusang Island, etc. have a large number of people. In the past, they bullied the weak in the East China Sea.
There is no shortage of things to do.
After the drastic changes in Dongsheng Capital, they relied on their hard work in conquering the Chongxuan Palace and seized many benefits. Especially the Huanbo Palace, relying on its relationship with the Queen Mother of the current dynasty, bullied colleagues from various factions in the East China Sea, which is chilling. "
The Xiaoyao Cave Master was secretly happy when he heard this. This situation was exactly the same as what he sent people to inquire about. In this way, this Huang Guanzi wanted to obtain heavenly materials and earthly treasures because he was suppressed by the Phantom Wave Palace.
, they can only find other ways on their own.
"It is a pity that fellow Taoists are not reused despite their superb cultivation." Master Xiaoyao Cave sighed softly: "Actually, we had the intention to serve the country at first, but it is a pity that the world is ignorant and there are many scoundrels.
Being deceived by traitors and sycophants, we have no choice but to live in the rivers and lakes, hiding in such filthy ditches and shrinking our heads, making our fellow Taoists laugh."
Zhao Huangguan nodded slightly. If he hadn't seen the Xiaoyao Cave Master invade Yunyan Peak with his own eyes, others would have been deceived by him if they heard what he said.
"There happens to be a big event happening right now. If I can get help from my Taoist friends, after the event is completed, not only will Yuehua Jade Dew be given to me with both hands, but Xiaoyao Cave will also respect my Taoist friends as guest guests. If Taoist friends can find a place in Xiaoyao Cave in the future, just ask.
"The master of Xiaoyao Cave is quite enthusiastic.
Zhao Huangguan pondered for a moment, pretending to be mysterious and unpredictable: "Big deal? I wonder what big deal it is?"
"I believe fellow Taoists already know that the current Tomb Sheep Ghost Market is co-hosted by me, Yanchi Goddess, and Lord Qinghe Mansion." When the master of Xiaoyao Cave spoke, Yanchi Goddess also cast a flirtatious look at Huang Guanzi.
"The Lord of Qinghe Prefecture is a great demon of the water tribe. He is in charge of the eight hundred miles of waterways in Qinghe. He has many demon sons and grandsons under his command." The master of Xiaoyao Cave said: "However, a few days ago, the descendants of the Lord of Qinghe Prefecture killed a member of the Yuxiao Sect.
, the hatred is difficult to resolve, and the two sides have fought several times."
Zhao Huangguan secretly thought that the monster that could control the eight hundred miles of waterway was extraordinary. He had followed Hengbi Gong in his early years and had some knowledge of the Shinto.
Regardless of whether it is a mountain god or a river god, its foundation and magic power come from, first, the mountains and rivers corresponding to the position of the earth, and second, the incense and vows of the common people.
The so-called dominance means that a place only controls the mountains and rivers, and can move freely around the surrounding areas without being hindered by dangers and obstacles. How deep and wide the mountains and rivers are also determines the level of a place's achievements.
In addition, the local land is also in charge of the affairs of the local underworld, allowing the souls of the dead to rest in peace. The land also appoints those who have not lost their heroic souls as generals under the altar to assist in the affairs of ghosts, gods, and the underworld, just like princes in the human world, with great authority.
If this Lord of Qinghe Prefecture really has the authority to take charge of the eight hundred miles of Qinghe Waterway, then this person must not be underestimated, and it is not something that Zhao Huangguan can handle.
"Master Xiaoyao Cave hopes that I will go and assist Lord Qinghe Mansion?" Zhao Huangguan asked tentatively.
"No." The master of Xiaoyao Cave showed a sly smile: "Just like fellow Taoists were oppressed by Huanbo Palace and others in Huaxu Kingdom, Lord Qinghefu has always planned to monopolize the Tomb Sheep Ghost Market in the past. He has many demon soldiers under his command. I
I can barely cope with waiting.
But now the Qinghe Prefecture is entangled with a powerful enemy, and the Tomb Sheep Ghost Market is likely to be implicated. He has sent letters asking for help several times, but we have not responded immediately. When the situation calms down, the Qinghe Prefecture may still pursue us and sit back and ignore it.
responsibility.
By that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect myself, the Moonlight Dew Plate will fall into the hands of others, and fellow Taoists will not be able to get the Moonlight Dew either."
Zhao Huangguan was silent for a long time. He had now seen the mutual conspiracy among the leaders of the three parties in the Tomb Sheep Ghost City. The Goddess of Yanchi did not want outside monks to associate with the master of Xiaoyao Cave. The master of Xiaoyao Cave planned to ask "Huang Guanzi" to deal with Qinghe Mansion Lord and Qinghe together.
The prince is probably also dealing with the other two's machinations.
But thinking about it on the other hand, they were probably secretly planning how to deal with him as an outsider. They might just let Zhao Huangguan charge into the battle and fight to the death with the Qinghe Prefecture Lord, so that they could profit from it.
"Master Xiaoyao Cave really thinks highly of me." Zhao Huangguan continued to test: "Since Mr. Qinghe Mansion is in charge of the eight hundred miles of waterways, his magical power must be profound. When it comes to a battle of wits, I am afraid that I will not be one of Mr. Qinghe Mansion's
The enemy of unity."
The master of Xiaoyao Cave said: "Of course I will not let my fellow Taoist take risks rashly, but since my fellow Taoist is from the East China Sea, can I invite a few fellow Taoists to do it?"
Zhao Huangguan thought about it carefully. If he was alone, his identity as a monk from the East China Sea would be a little weak and not enough to win the trust of the other party. But if he really wanted to recruit people from elsewhere, would Xiaoyao Cave Master really be sure that he could deal with his group?
Zhao Huangguan believed that his cultivation and magic power were not as good as those of Xiaoyao Cave Master and Yanchi Goddess, but they did not have many powerful people under their command. In the final analysis, except for the leader who was respectable, the rest were still a mob.
Although the current world is turbid, evil spirits are raging, and ghosts are rampant, there are still only a few strong people.
And when the master arrives, whether it is the master of Xiaoyao Cave or the goddess of Yanchi, there is only one result: death.
"Master asked me to investigate, just to be able to make sufficient preparations, so that the task of killing the evil can be completed without leaving any future troubles." Zhao Huangguan thought to himself: "If there is a way, wouldn't it be possible for the master of Xiaoyao Cave to mobilize his troops?
Can Master catch them all in one fell swoop?"
"I will try my best." Zhao Huangguan said: "However, if you want to call on fellow friends to come to help, Master Xiaoyao Cave should understand that this is not completely costless. Yuehua Jade Dew is only what I need and does not represent other people.
"
"Understood." Xiaoyao Cave Master smiled: "When Qinghe Mansion Lord is defeated, the treasures of the Water Mansion will be available to us. At that time, Taoist Fellow Huang Guan will be selected first. Oh, since Fellow Taoist is from the East China Sea, maybe the Qinghe Water Mansion
You can also give it to fellow Taoists."
"Master Xiaoyao Cave has a broad mind, and I admire him very much." The more Zhao Huangguan heard, the more suspicious he became. He just pretended to be tempted and agreed.
"Now Mr. Qinghe Mansion should be able to hold on for two or three months." Xiaoyao Cave Master asked: "I wonder if you can summon friends from the same sect before then?"
"Okay." Zhao Huangguan replied.
The Salt Pond Goddess handed over a bronze token with a bloody evil talisman engraved on the surface: "Brother, when you come next time, just show this token. It doesn't matter if you can't call your classmates for a while. You can come here to chat with them.
oh."
Zhao Huangguan took the token, and the Yanchi Goddess touched his hand, looking very hungry and thirsty.
"In this case, I will make preparations first, and then come to the Tomb Sheep Ghost Market to visit me later." Zhao Huangguan did not want to stay any longer. Firstly, he hated these two people, and secondly, he was worried that he would reveal his flaws.
After sending Zhao Huangguan away, Master Xiaoyao Cave was left alone with the Yanchi Goddess.
"Do you really believe in this person?" Yanchi Goddess took the initiative to ask.
"In our conversation just now, I can confirm that there must be some power behind Huang Guanzi." Xiaoyao Cave Master said: "It's a lie that he came to ask for Yuehua Jade Dew. His real intention is probably to test our basic power."
The Yanchi Goddess moved her body slightly and approached with the fragrant wind: "In that case, aren't you afraid that he was sent by the Huaxu Kingdom's court to deal with us?"
"Your dojo is in Xuanming Kingdom, and you definitely don't know as much about the current situation of Huaxu Kingdom as I do." Xiaoyao Cave Master's expression was cold, and he was not at all confused by the beautiful woman in front of him: "Right now, just blocking Chiyun City to the south,
The imperial court of Huaxu State was already stretched thin.
I sent people to nearby counties to kidnap hundreds of women, but the court of Huaxu Kingdom was still indifferent to this, which shows how stupid they were. In this situation, they still wanted to attack me in Xiaoyao Cave, and even raided the grave sheep ghost market.
, I’m afraid it’s beyond our capabilities.”
But the Salt Pond Goddess smiled and said: "In that case, why do you believe that Huang Guanzi will call his fellow disciples to help you deal with that old loach?"
"Because it's profitable." Xiaoyao Cave Master smiled and said: "Otherwise, why do you think these East China Sea monks helped the Huaxu Kingdom deal with Chongxuan Pavilion? At that time, more than thirty elders from various East China Sea sects died.
Hundreds of disciples were buried in Difei Mountain. Such a huge loss must naturally be recovered twice as much."
"Master Xiaoyao Cave, why don't you come and try it?" Yanchi Goddess did not forget to introduce: "This is the longevity white chalcedony that I have spent a lot of time raising. It is the best for replenishing mana and nourishing the face. It is better than you using Tiangui women's milk to synthesize bait.
The medicine, Royal Girl’s tonic is more effective!”
"My family is not as wealthy as the goddess. For a mouthful of immortal white chalcedony, Xiaoyao Cave Master chuckled:
The Yanchi Goddess sneered and said: "But I heard that the master of Xiaoyao Cave often only takes virgin Yuanyin, and then passes it on to your disciples, who are often played with and transformed into human beings."
"Women are born to please men, otherwise their bodies would not grow like this." Xiaoyao Cave Master said matter-of-factly: "What I do is just in accordance with nature.
"We are cultivators, not animals." Salt Lake Goddess
The master of Xiaoyao Cave sneered: "The old loach of Qinghe Prefecture also eats people, he will not make such nonsense. And as long as the people on both sides of the Qinghe River offer blood food as usual, he will not cause floods, and he can be considered a trustworthy gentleman."
"What? Wasn't it just that you were scheming? Now you are showing kindness?" asked the Yanchi Goddess.
"Why do you have to be sarcastic?" Xiaoyao Cave Master said: "I don't believe you are not greedy for the creatures on both sides of the 800-mile Qinghe River. Although the salt ponds in Northern Xinjiang are good, in the final analysis, the people who worship you are a group of Rong Di who drink blood. Then
I’m sure you don’t like the smell of shit, otherwise you wouldn’t have to buy boys and girls from the old loach every year.”
The Yanchi Goddess touched her cheek and said: "There is no way, time is the best way to wear away your appearance. Women are always afraid of old age. But the old loach is very stingy. He has not yet transformed into a dragon, but he has already learned how to gather gold and jade like a dragon.
Zhenbao has a bad temper and the prices for these boys and girls are getting higher and higher year by year. And in the past few years, he has become more and more contemptuous of us comrades."
The master of Xiaoyao Cave said: "I'm afraid he has never regarded us as colleagues. He probably finds the 800-mile Qinghe River too small."
"A loach is the most despicable of all. Does he really think he can transform into a dragon and fly into the sky?" The Yanchi Goddess made no secret of her disgust: "Not many of his monster sons and grandsons are mature enough to kill an injured and lonely jade.
Disciple of Xiaozong, the result is better now, but others come to seek revenge. Be careful, you will be struck to death by thunder arrows before you transform into a dragon!"
"The Yuxiao Sect has long lost its former glory. If Old Niliu really wants to be ruthless, it won't be a problem to kill those old guys." The master of Xiaoyao Cave said: "But the Yuxiao Sect has good relations with Shangjing Sect, and Old Niliu has since
He knows that he is wrong, but he is also afraid that he will attract the Four Immortals and start a big fight. Even if he can save his life, Qinghe Water Mansion may not be able to defend it."
"You dragged that Huang Guanzi in here not just to deal with the old loach, right?" asked the Salt Pond Goddess.
"Not bad." Xiaoyao Cave Master showed some confidence in his smile: "Think about it, the Donghai monks worshiped by Huaxu Kingdom killed the Yuxiao Sect members of Youxiong Kingdom, what will happen next?"
"The worst thing is that there will be another dispute between the two countries. Do you and I not see enough of these nonsense?" The Yanchi Goddess was bored and cut the girl's throat with her sharp nails. After taking a sip of warm blood, she took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth: "You guys
Men know how boring it is to fight and kill."
"Only by letting the two countries fight each other and waste their national strength, can we have the opportunity to slowly operate." The master of Xiaoyao Cave glanced at the Yanchi Goddess. He didn't say anything, but he secretly said in his heart:
"After I clean up that old loach of Qinghe Prefecture, I will destroy you next. Then I will annex the salt field in one fell swoop, and my territory will span the three countries. Why worry about big things happening by then?"
