When Sun Changming received the news, he was also stunned: Are you so unlucky? How can such a simple task be so dangerous?
Sun Changming communicated with Mrs. Chun through the second master, and finally figured out the ins and outs, and then he was quite surprised: There are even divine beasts to protect the religion?
Like a python or a crocodile?
Wait, I remember I fed my second dick last time, but it didn’t feed me back. The excuse seemed to be some kind of crocodile monster?
Sun Changming patted the gourd six and asked the little loach. The little loach had almost forgotten about this matter... When the elder brother asked, it recalled it carefully: it seemed that such a thing happened.
At that time, I was helping my brother kill the crocodile monster in the water, but the noise coming from the scales became more and more fierce. I don’t know what was going on. I was so annoyed that I couldn’t bear it anymore and had to endure the nausea.
Swallowed the crocodile monster, and then threw it away following the sound...
Sun Changming compared the two and roughly understood what was going on: Jiang Shen never had any miracles, and the number of believers being attacked in the Mengjiang River gradually increased, so the person presiding over it must have held some kind of prayer ceremony, and the two who disturbed him
My brother has no peace.
The second brother transformed the crocodile monster and threw it over, and it became the current guardian beast...
The person who presided over the ceremony probably did not expect that the prayer ceremony would be so effective. So he began to erect statues of mythical beasts outside every Jiangshen Temple.
However, the person who presided over it had some discernment. He did not welcome this creature that is the root of the demon clan into the Jiang Temple and enshrine it as the god's side hall of the River God. Instead, he arranged it at the door, just a guardian beast.
Mrs. Chun complained to the second master, and then said: "I have earned these five thousand spirit jade, and I am worthy of you." Then she said with extreme fatigue in her tone: "Don't do it in the future.
You came to me, I really want to live a few more years, but I can’t afford to serve you anymore.”
How come I, a person who believes in evil, fell into your trap again and again, with one errand after another and one danger after another? Mrs. Chun herself was also puzzled.
Sun Changming still remembered her other identity: "Are you the landlord of Yuzhen Building?"
Lady Chun suddenly became alert: "What are your plans?"
The second master said carelessly: "Do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life? Don't you want to have a serious family background?"
Mrs. Chun scolded her with raised eyebrows: "What do you mean? Isn't I so immoral? Look down on me..."
The second master rarely softened his tone: "You know I didn't mean that. I just think this is a good opportunity for you. The man behind me has hands and eyes that can reach the sky! A ghost like me can help me advance to the fifth level."
level, and the sixth level can be expected in the future. As long as you work hard, although there are some risks, you can always be assigned a position in Chaotian Division. Isn't it much better than you wandering around now?"
Lady Chun was shamefully moved again.
Didn’t you set a rule for yourself: never take his job again?
If it were the time when Mrs. Chun first entered the world, who would have dared to tell her that it would be better to join the Chaotian Division than to wander around the world in a carefree way? She would spit in your face on the spot, and then draw her sword to fight.
But now... Lao Jianghu truly understands: among the six gates is the best way to practice.
She took a deep breath: "You want me to go undercover in Yuzhen Building?"
The second master said unceremoniously: "Your level is too low and you have no value."
Lady Chun was dissatisfied and said: "My level is not considered low. I am a pawn in the building, one level higher than the building servant you call me."
The second master understood instantly: "Second to last."
Lady Chun: "..."
The second master said: "Okay, don't be awkward with me. I won't cheat you, second master. What I want you to do is very simple. Notify me of the news about Yuzhen Tower as soon as possible. You don't need to do anything else."
.”
The matter of the Lingbao Yuan Fei made Sun Changming a little wary of Yuzhenlou. They may not be unaware of the sinister intentions of the seventh realm man.
"Okay." Mrs. Chun reluctantly agreed, and then said: "You promise me that you will not lie to me, and you will definitely let me enter Chaotian Division."
"I promise." The second master said without hesitation.
The biggest difference between monks like Lady Chun and Jiuyun Sect and Nangong Clan is that they have no way to prove their "innocence", and Chaotian Division attaches great importance to this, otherwise they will accept everyone and they will be infiltrated into a sieve long ago.
However, this kind of identity issue is not worth mentioning for the commander Tongzhi.
The second master comforted Mrs. Chun once again, and the two parties ended the call. Sun Changming was shocked to find that the two of them had been chatting for more than half an hour without knowing it!
Hmm, I seem to like this feeling of chatting while wearing a vest?
…
Sun Changming was waiting at the Mengjiang outpost, but he was not idle. He sent orders one after another to the Wangyunya Hundred Household Office. Ayu faithfully carried out his orders and made a series of arrangements around the Tongcoff Gorge to destroy the territory.
After waiting for another five days, Wu Buchang's father, Wu Yuanji, the leader of Jiuyun Sect and the pinnacle of the sixth realm, arrived at Mengjiang Outpost.
Sun Changming was not arrogant and did not want to visit a person from the Sixth Realm in person. He had already explained in his letter that the affairs at Tongcoff Gorge were urgent and it was indeed inconvenient for him to leave his residence without permission.
Sun Changming used a grand ceremony to welcome the master of the sixth realm of machine arts. Wu Yuanji was also very satisfied, but his identity was different from Wu Buchang after all, and Wu Buchang was only one of his many sons. Wu Buchang and
Elder Shao Wujie agreed with Sun Changming, but it did not mean that the Jiuyun Sect really wanted to surrender to the Mengjiangdu Command Post as a whole.
Wu Yuanji and Sun Changming had secret talks several times, and Wu Yuanji was finally convinced by Sun Changming and was willing to fully support Sun Changming.
Sun Changming's first reward was the secrets of the mechanism technique written by himself, which was derived from the "Illustration of the Refining of Divine Artifacts". Many of the ideas about the mechanism technique in it were very advanced.
Jiuyun Sect will dispatch a large number of disciples to Sun Changming's command in the next period of time, numbering around two hundred. These are disciples who are accomplished in cultivation and mechanism skills. They can play a role when they come. With these people, Sun Changming
The adults can finally get rid of the situation where no one is available.
But the Jiuyun Sect's disciples also have some problems, that is, their practice is all biased towards mechanism techniques, which are very useful for defending, but when launching an attack... they are not good candidates for charging into battle.
At the same time, Sun Changming also knew very well that his base was still the first group of people to follow him in the Mengjiang Outpost.
In the future, these people will be the backbone of our own power.
So Sun Changming secretly encouraged the magpies to capture more monsters to feed them; the elixir refined by Liao Danchen would also be given priority to them to improve their realm as soon as possible.
At the same time, in order to balance the power of all parties under his command, Sun Changming turned his attention to the "prisoners" in the dungeon...
Wu Yuanji left three days later, and he and Sun Changming reached a series of agreements. Sun Changming also set off for Wangyunya Baihu Station, preparing to personally direct the defense preparations for the destruction of the Tongcoff Gorge on the front line.
Before Sun Changming arrived, Ayu and Old Man Gu Li had already led people into the Tongcoff Gorge Destruction Territory several times, and conducted multiple investigations within a fifty-mile radius.
Sun Changming brought a mechanical weapon that he and Elder Shao Wujie developed together: the Fenghuo Lingtai.
This is a combination of mechanism technique and spiritual talisman. It can monitor various movements within thirty miles nearby at any time. If there is a major change, it can be fed back to Baihusuo immediately, so that the situation in the destruction domain can be known in advance.
After a period of investigation by Ayu and Old Man Guli, they came to preliminary results: In the area of the Tongcoff Gorge in the Mengjiang River, about 80 beacon towers are needed to provide the most basic and effective early warning.
In the future, the density of Fenghuo Lingtai and the area it needs to cover will definitely continue to increase.
Moreover, we must also consider that those monsters in the Destruction Domain will not have a good impression of the Beacon Fire Spirit Tower and will actively attack this thing, so the damage rate must be very high.
This is the biggest problem plaguing Mr. Sun now: Lingyu.
Do you dare to believe that the dignified seventh-level Liu Zhi and the leader of the court, Lu Guangxiao, didn’t even give a single spiritual jade?! And they even shamelessly said that they believed in Commander Sun’s ability to make money, and they would be able to handle the expenses themselves?!
I can make money, but it is for my own family. How can I make money at the public level... Sun Changming was also scratching his head.
Therefore, Master Sun only brought thirty beacon towers on board the ship from Mengjiang Outpost.
A'yu and old man Gu Li came to greet them and reported solemnly: "Sir, because of the battle over the Lingbao Yuan Fei, many monsters near the lake were frightened and fled far away. Some of them were destroyed.
The edge of the domain.”
"The relatively safe range of one hundred and ninety miles in the past has been compressed to only about fifty miles. If we take our men with us and go deeper, we will encounter monsters of level four or above, and there will even be some larger ones.
Weak to the fifth level.”
"If these thirty beacon fire towers are put in, it may be difficult to achieve the expected effect."
Ayu also said: "My lord said before that fire talismans will be deployed within fifty miles of the destruction domain, and heavy crossbow turrets will be built at key positions on the periphery of the destruction domain. I think it is very necessary."
Sun Changming remained calm, but his heart was filled with sorrow: I still have a lot of plans like this, all of which have been implemented to ensure that the area around Mangjiang River is impregnable, but where is the money? What can I use to arrange it?
There is no money to build the most basic beacon tower used for early warning.
Suddenly, Sun Changming glanced at Ayu, this guy has been with Liu Zhi for a long time, has he learned some ways to raise money?
He waved to Ayu: "Is there any way to get the imperial court to approve a sum of spiritual jade?"
Ayu was stunned for a moment, saw the lord's eyes burning, and understood what the lord meant. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said after a moment: "The court has no money, and neither Master Liu nor Master Lu can get it, let alone us."
.But...there is still a way."
Sun Changming encouraged: "Speak quickly."
Ayu made a bitter face and said: "Can you tell me first, I've thought about this method, and don't let me do it, okay?"
Sun Changming waved his hand: "You tell me first and listen."
Ayu sighed secretly, knowing that he probably wouldn't be able to escape: "The lower reaches of the Mengjiang River is the Hushu area, which is one of the wealthiest places in our country. You can go to the Hushu area to seek alms from various yamen and local gentry for donations.
.
We guarded the upper reaches of the Mengjiang River to ensure their safety. When necessary, adults can also threaten them secretly. If they don't pay, there will be a loophole in our defense and a few monsters will slip down... There is nothing we can do.
.”
Sun Changming's eyes lit up, and he really wanted Ayu to do this right away. Then he saw the iron-hearted Cavalry General Yu looking at him pitifully like a little rabbit.
After all, I still couldn't bear it, but except for Ayu himself, there was no suitable "violent person" to carry out this task. Most people went to the Hushu area, and they couldn't deter those old officials.
As for Sun Changming himself, he really needs to sit on the front line and not move lightly.
The lonely old man on the side said: "I also have a way. We can organize a harvesting team to enter the extermination domain in batches to hunt monsters and pick monster plants. We can not only sell the harvest to obtain funds, but also use it to train troops; we
The Mengjiangdu command post is newly built, and many newcomers lack combat experience when facing monsters."
Sun Changming also nodded. He had thought of this idea a long time ago, but the income would probably be a drop in the bucket, and the biggest use would be to train troops.
He waved his hand: "Let me think about this matter carefully. You go and place these thirty beacon fire towers in the Domain of Destruction first."
The two of them followed the order and left, and then Liu Sibai came in again, and what bothered Sun Changming the most: he came to ask for money.
"Sir, we need to purchase a batch of evil-destroying talismans so that we can be prepared for any danger in the Destruction Domain."
Most of the destruction areas in this world are caused by evil spirits. Fortunately, this is not the case for the Tongcoffin Gorge destruction areas, but some special areas are still filled with evil spirits, such as those near the hanging coffins.
However, the evil spirits in the Tongcoff Gorge Destruction Domain have already been restrained with evil-destroying talismans. When Wu Buchang and others entered the Tongcoffin Gorge, they all carried this talisman with them.
This kind of talisman is not expensive, but the large quantity that needs to be purchased is also a large expense.
"How much spiritual jade do you want?"
Liu Sibai replied: "The one produced by Wanbao Pavilion is the most expensive, costing one hundred spirit jade." Noticing the dissatisfaction in the adults' eyes, he hurriedly added: "I don't think it's cost-effective, Wanbao Pavilion just has a great name."
.What I prefer is Guangqingtang, which costs fifty spiritual jade per piece. It is affordable and its effect is not weaker than Wanbao Pavilion."
Sun Changming thought about it in his mind, nodded and said: "The one from Guangqingtang costs two hundred."
All the current funds for the dignified Jiangdu Command Post are actually the "surplus grains" that Sun Changming collected from the hundreds of households under his rule. Ninety percent of the money has been spent on refining the thirty beacon towers, and now there are only more than two hundred thousand left.
Lingyu.
Fortunately, everyone's salary is paid by the imperial court on a monthly basis, otherwise the Mengjiangdu Command Post would be in ruins next month.
These two hundred evil-proofing talismans cost another 10,000 jade. Sun Changming approved a note and asked Liu Sibai to pay the money. He stopped him with another burst of pain: "Go and talk to Guangqingtang. In the light of our Mengjiang Command Post
In the name of the bank, it is temporarily on credit."
"Ah?" Liu Sibai was dumbfounded. Sun Changming thought it was wrong after a second thought. He sighed and waved his hands: "Forget it, you go get the money."
Sun Changming always thought that his biggest enemy was in the Tongcoff Gorge, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be Lingyu.
But just as Liu Sibai went out, Master Sun suddenly called him from inside: "Sibai is back!"
Liu Sibai went back dejectedly, but Sun Changming asked about another thing: "Is there another bank account under Guangqingtang's name?"
"Yes," Liu Sibai knew what the Lord wanted to do, and immediately introduced: "The main business is lending and custody."
Monks rarely deposit money into bank accounts because they carry storage tips with them. In the world of cultivation, the most profitable business of bank accounts is the "genetic preservation" business. To put it simply, a certain major cultivator prepares it for his descendants.
A sum of money, spiritual jade, magic weapons, spiritual talismans, etc. can be used, and they can be stored in the ticket number using a business similar to Sun Changming's renting a safe in his previous life.
There are various accidents every day in the world of cultivation. Daxiu Dufa died unexpectedly, or he suddenly felt that he had to retreat, and he was unable to take care of his descendants for a long time, etc. The ticket account will help find the descendants and transfer this wealth to them.
Leave it to them.
The second one is lending money. Although it is not always possible, the interest rate is also very high.
Liu Sibai further explained: "Moreover, these ticket numbers have big backgrounds, and they often don't give credit to anyone. If you want to borrow money, you must have an equal amount of collateral."
After he finished speaking, he spread out his hands, meaning, look at our Mangjiang command post, what can we use as collateral if we are so broke?
Sun Changming had other ideas, and ordered: "Go and buy the evil-proofing talisman first, and then ask Guangqingtang about the loan. I will arrange the other matters."
"Yes." Liu Sibai retreated.
Sun Changming immediately seized the time and wrote an official document to Lu Guangxiao, saying that there were many changes in the Tongcoff Gorge, and he was afraid that the monsters would break out of the realm of destruction in the near future.
In order to ensure safety, the imperial court was requested to issue a decree to close the gates. No one, whether layman or monk, was allowed to enter the Tongcoff Gorge Destruction Territory without authorization.
This ban was handed over to the Mengjiang Command Post for supervision and enforcement.
A large number of precious elixirs are produced in the Tongcoff Gorge Extermination Domain, and countless herb collectors enter it every year - of course, they only operate within a hundred miles.
As long as the ban is issued, the Mengjiang Command Post can secretly sell the qualifications to enter and exit the Tongcoff Gorge, which is a huge income!
First use this expected income as collateral to borrow money from Guangqingtang to build up the defense of Tongcoff Gorge.
After the official document was sent out, Sun Changming took his men and entered the Destruction Territory again to check. This time he did not run far and only walked around within fifty miles of the edge.
Sure enough, as Ayu and the old man Gu Li said, the number of monsters in this range has greatly increased, at least seven or eight times more than before the Lingbao Yuan Fei!
The more Sun Changming watched, the more worried he became: This may not only be the result of the Lingbao Yuan Fei incident, but also because the Copper Coffin Gorge Destruction Domain has entered an active period, and the number of monsters has a tendency to increase dramatically.
This triggered a chain of consequences: Herb collectors who entered this area were bound to suffer huge losses. The command post sold herb collection quotas. In the end, the herb collectors suffered heavy losses, but the harvest would not increase.
Market conditions that affect this quota.
You may feel that you are at a disadvantage after the first time and will not buy another place in the future.
Along the way, the subordinates saw the Lord's face becoming more and more solemn, thinking that he was worried about the defense of the Annihilation Territory, and they did not dare to talk more to bother the Lord.
After their inspection was over and they returned and sat down in the Wangyunya Hundred Household House, Sun Changming suddenly saw a cell and a light flashed in his mind: We have it!
He asked calmly: "How are the interrogations of those felons in the dungeon going?"
Shao Wujie was stunned. After those people were brought back, you deliberately left them alone. You never asked for a trial, and you didn't even decide what the charges were.
But Liu Sibai on the side immediately understood what the adults meant and bowed and said: "The people below are not doing well in their work and there are no results yet. I will go and supervise them now."
After a pause, he asked tentatively: "These madmen dare to resist my recruitment of Chaotian Si. No matter what their background is, they must be severely punished. At least they will be sent to the frontier to fight to the death with the demon clan!"
Sun Changming nodded: "Okay."
Liu Sibai went to do things immediately. Ayu's eyes rolled around, guessing that his master had some harmful ideas. But in order not to get burned, he had better keep his mouth shut and act like he didn't know anything.
Liu Sibai entered the dungeon, beat the cage with an iron ruler, and shouted loudly: "Bring out the prisoners in the dungeon."
The wounds of these monks in the dungeon have almost recovered, and they are all in the fourth and fifth realms. There are not many stupid ones. They have slowly figured out why they have been locked up for so long - I know who
Some secrets you don’t want others to know!
They all come from three sects: Shence League, Yiwanan and Longhuangtang. Each of the three sects has a fifth realm, and Yiwanan is Master Yuanhui!
She was too seriously injured and was kept alive by Ouyang Ce, thus saving her life. However, she was imprisoned for this reason. The master often sighed: It is true that misfortunes and blessings depend on each other.
The fifth level in the Dragon Emperor Hall is Qiu Yu's junior brother Luo Wei. In terms of level, he is slightly higher than Qiu Yu, but in terms of pet beast talent, he is much worse than Qiu Yu.
The identity of the Shence Alliance is the most critical. He is Ouyang Ce's second disciple Yu Duanliu. Among the disciples, his cultivation level is even better than that of his senior brother Yue Changhe. Because he was seriously injured in the battle, he missed the most crucial moment.
The battle for the spiritual treasure Yuan Fei.
Unexpectedly, he was the only one who survived in the end. He had similar emotions to Master Yuan Hui.
Chaotiansi only sent one Liu Sibai to interrogate them all - in fact, it was not an interrogation at all, but various tortures or weird torture methods to force everyone to confess.
So what if I don't plead guilty? I'm already locked up here. If I don't plead guilty, I'm afraid that the adult will find a way to make everyone disappear completely.
Dozens of "repeated criminals" eventually signed and stamped their confessions. This was a cultivation method, and once the confession was written, it could not be reversed.
They knew that from then on, they were completely manipulated by that gentleman. As long as they had second thoughts and this confession leaked out, they would be the enemies of the entire Chaotian Division.
Liu Sibai came to see the Lord with the confession, and Sun Changming was quite satisfied. Liu Sibai was born as a yamen servant, so he was very familiar with this kind of thing.
"Well done." After taking a look at it, Sun Changming put down the confession and instructed Liu Sibai: "Go and talk to them about the meritorious service."
"Their cultivation is good, but they alone are not enough. Let them return to their own sect first and bring back more manpower for me."
"They think it's okay if they just plead guilty? I, Chaotian Si, have a way of sitting together!"
"Especially Yu Duanliu, Ouyang Ce, Yue Changhe and Ouyang Shuo from the Shence League have all died in the Destruction Domain. The Shence League is leaderless. I let him go. If he can't bring Shence back,
The remaining strength of the alliance has been brought back, but he is incompetent!"
