The person who presided over the meeting was Uncle Sheng Yuan. Zhao Jinnuo was originally more suitable, but he didn't have many opportunities to show his face and was not familiar with everyone.
Shengyuan Brown said in a loud voice: "Everyone is here. We don't need to be polite. Everyone has been speculating about what the big event is these days. Let me tell you first: His Highness Fifth Prince and Lord Sun have found another way to make a fortune.
, go to the Red Yi Barbarian Continent to capture Yi slaves. We have already paved the way to sell them to the Nine Lich Courts."
"We are all understanding people. I don't need to explain the benefits of this. This is not a simple slave hunt. When we arrive in the Red Yi Barbarian Continent, what we do is entirely our own business."
Everyone below was talking about it, but they were all a little disappointed. The risk of crossing the sea to the Red Barbarian Continent was too high.
Uncle Sheng Yuan waited for everyone to finish the discussion, then smiled slightly and said: "What kind of people are His Highness the Fifth Prince and Master Sun? These concerns of ours have already been thought of. This meeting is actually going to be discussed.
Yes, everyone worked together to build a large void passage from the seaside of Nanni Kingdom to the outer sea of the Red Barbarian Continent!"
Everyone's eyes lit up: "Is this really okay?"
If the biggest risk is avoided, as for the powerful Red Barbarians, the slave-catching team may have suffered heavy losses when they encountered their high-level followers in the past. This is not a big deal. The risks are high and the benefits are high.
Moreover, if a high-level believer of the Red Barbarians wants to find a ship on the sea, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Uncle Sheng Yuan continued: "The Fifth Highness and Lord Sun have already made a plan. This void passage requires a large amount of precious treasures. Those who are willing to participate will divide the shares according to the proportion of investment. In the future, we will go to the Hongyi Barbarian Continent through this void passage.
Yes, you have to pay a fee for going back and forth, and the money is distributed as dividends according to the shares at the end of each year."
This plan is very fair and everyone is nodding.
Then Uncle Sheng Yuan said: "I will announce the required treasures first. Let everyone take a look. Everyone will go back and discuss with their families whether they are willing to participate and what they can come up with. Let's summarize it at the next gathering."
But as soon as this list was opened, everyone’s expressions changed. There were too many!
Zhao Jinnuo was the first to stand up and walked out. He said rudely: "Nonsense! After this list, I'm afraid it will cost tens of billions of spiritual jade. It will take years and months of the monkey to recover the capital!"
"If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have wasted my time."
"gone!"
Uncle Sheng Yuan said: "You can't calculate it like this. This void passage is a necessary guarantee for everyone to go to the Red Barbarian Continent to make money. What we really earn is the slave-catching team's money, and the cost of the void passage can always be passed every year.
The dividends will be earned back, but the time period will be longer.”
Zhao Jinnuo stopped and refuted him: "You have invested so much in a void passage. What if you don't make any money in the end? The risk is too great."
Uncle Sheng Yuan immediately said: "The Flying Bear Army took the initiative to attack Nanni Country and started a war to destroy the country with one army. Is it risky? But Mr. Sun did it. This thing seems to be very risky. Is it more risky than that?
Is the Flying Bear Army still high? I believe in Master Sun and His Highness the Fifth Prince."
The two of them were talking to each other, and the powerful disciples on the battleship also followed their arguments, thinking in their hearts and coming up with their own ideas.
This much-anticipated "event" ended up unhappy.
The powerful disciples left the battleship and soon gathered with their familiar companions to discuss among themselves, but most of them had different opinions and had their own opinions.
In the next few days, the elites in the capital exploded. This matter was too big. Some old-fashioned and academic officials angrily denounced this behavior as inconsistent with "etiquette" and greatly lost Shangbang's face.
But no one paid any attention to them. How much profit is there! How many times do you poor old people want us to give up? It’s just a dream.
Not only those who are ready to participate, but also those who are ready to give up, do not support these old scholars.
Gradually, camps were divided, led by Uncle Sheng Yuan and the grandson of Duke Wei, who firmly supported the fifth prince and Master Sun, and had begun to collect the precious treasures on the list.
Led by Zhao Jinnuo and Xu Gongzi, there was some hesitation, but there were not many people who really gave up unswervingly at the first time.
Everyone agreed to reunite in a month and registered a list of those willing to participate.
The Zhongjing Zhenfu Division is now in the hands of Master Liu Zhi. Any disturbance in the capital will be sent to Master Sun as soon as possible. There are several people on the list who are jumping up and down, and a sneer appears on the corner of Master Sun's mouth.
…
There have been a sudden increase in small-scale gatherings among the children of powerful people in the past few days, and everyone is discussing this matter. The adults in the family cannot come forward, so they rely on them to communicate with each other.
There is only one table of guests in Yaxian Pavilion tonight, and the host is named Tan Quanzhou. His father is a third-rank official. He was lucky enough to board the ship that day. He has been secretly colluding with other families these days.
We went to Yaxian Pavilion on the high-end route, and the place was neither expensive nor cheap. We booked the place for the whole week but didn't ask the girls to come in. We just had a secret chat with the other two people.
One of these two people can influence a large number of people in the military, and the other's family is a wealthy businessman from the northeast of Dawu.
"The person my father sent to Tianxuan Pavilion came back. He personally visited the pavilion master and got a definite answer: It is simply unrealistic to assume a large void passage from the Nanni Kingdom to the Red Yi Barbarian Continent! Let alone a large one.
, even the most basic void channel that can only transport one item at a time, but cannot transport living beings, is simply impossible!"
Tianxuan Pavilion was famous in the Wu Dynasty. Although the number of monks in this sect was small and they rarely traveled in the world, they were recognized as the "number one in the law of space" in the Wu Dynasty.
This is a group of people who are obsessed with studying the laws of space. It is said that the master of the pavilion can already travel freely within the territory of the Wu Dynasty. Except for some special places such as the palace, he can appear there with just a thought.
The two people looked solemn: "Are you serious about this?"
Tan Zhouquan smiled and said: "How dare you deceive the two brothers? Moreover, Tianxuan Pavilion has not closed the mountain gate. With the family background of the two brothers, it is impossible to find an expert who has had a relationship with the pavilion master. You only need to ask
That will prove it.”
He added: "The entire capital is discussing how big the benefits will be once this thing is done, and whether it is worth the huge cost to build this void passage.
But none of them ever doubted that this matter was fundamentally impossible!
From the Eastern Land to the mainland of the Red Barbarians, there are many dangers on the vast ocean, and there are many voids and broken places in between. This is not what I said, these are the exact words of the Pavilion Master. If you want to survive in such a complicated world,
In a void environment, setting up a large void channel is really just a fantasy.
What even the Pavilion Master couldn't do, how could he, Sun Changming, do it?
This is not a battle of skills, Sun Changming is not good at this at all."
The two shook their heads after hearing this, with some gratitude: "Thank you, dear brother, for informing me! We were also misled, we were just calculating costs and profits, but we didn't expect that this matter was probably just a scam!
My family has already decided to invest, but if my brother-in-law hadn’t really lost all his money this time, his vitality would be severely damaged!"
"Come, let's drink to our dear brother."
Tan Quanzhou is not worried about the two families going to investigate, because what he told is the truth.
…
In another restaurant, a certain prince's retainer, who was still under house arrest and studying, was also persuading several powerful children: "Not to mention that the red barbarians are powerful, if a ship has dozens of people passing by, once they encounter high-level believers, they will
completely annihilated.
Let’s just talk about the matter itself. Why is Sun Changming so kind and has such a way to make a fortune? Why does he want to bring everyone with him? He has no friendship with you..."
…
There were various speculations and theories that finally came together and were detonated: "Does Sun Changming have the ability to build this void passage?"
Uncle Shengyuan personally went to Mengjiang Dusi, met Lord Sun and introduced the situation in the capital, and then expressed his attitude: "Master Sun, we absolutely trust you, and now I can still mobilize about nine powerful people to invest in shares.
Well, these people are probably not enough, but I also thought of another way. We limited the scope to the capital before. In fact, we can also mobilize it locally. More local wealthy families will be interested.
"
Uncle Sheng Yuan represented the Queen Mother's will. The Queen Mother's full support was of course because of the respect of the Fifth Prince and Liang Yuzhi. However, Lord Sun remembered this favor.
He rejected Uncle Sheng Yuan's kindness: "I originally decided to start from the capital because the local wealthy families actually have explicit or covert connections with the dignitaries in the capital. As long as the situation in the capital opens up, those local people will naturally follow.
Will follow up.
Now that the capital has suffered a setback, the locals must have gotten the news, and I am afraid that except for the families you can influence, no one with real strength will join."
Uncle Sheng Yuan frowned and asked, "What are you going to do, sir? Is this matter going to be shelved?"
"Of course not." Mr. Sun smiled slightly: "They feel that I am not capable of setting up such a void passage, so let's build a smaller one first and prove it to them!"
"Huh?" Uncle Shengyuan was surprised.
…
The current situation is exactly what Sun Changming wants to see. In fact, when promoting this matter, he secretly provided some guidance.
Some fundamental problems will inevitably be exposed. With Mr. Sun's character, he will naturally not be unprepared.
Lord Sun invited Uncle Shengyuan: "Why don't you come with me and be a witness?"
Uncle Sheng Yuan thought about it for a while and agreed. He asked Sun Changming again: "When are you going to start?" Sun Changming smiled slightly: "No hurry, we still need a few witnesses."
There is only Uncle Sheng Yuan, and others in the capital may not be willing to believe it.
However, Sun Changming said that he would take Uncle Sheng Yuan to find other witnesses. After leaving Wangyunya Baihu House, he went to the northwest. And Mr. Sun did not bring any guards. Uncle Sheng Yuan was quite uneasy: "Sir,
Just the two of us..."
"If I can't guarantee my uncle's safety, what's the point of bringing other guards?"
Uncle Shengyuan couldn't refute, but he was not used to being served by no one along the way. Lord Sun didn't care about that. My "Breaking Void" magical power couldn't lead so many people.
Uncle Sheng Yuan himself had no idea whether Sun Changming could build that large void passage. His firm support was only because of the Queen Mother's order.
Master Sun once "broken the void" with his magical power, which took him across a distance of tens of thousands of miles and appeared in a steep and barren rocky mountain. Uncle Sheng Yuan had a little more confidence in Sun Changming.
"Here is..." Uncle Sheng Yuan looked around. There were rugged rocks at his feet and a narrow valley. The stone peaks were hewn with knives and axes, rising steeply up and down, like giant weapons used by gods in battle.
Moreover, there seemed to be some kind of strange energy floating in the surrounding void. When Uncle Sheng Yuan wanted to carefully understand what kind of power it was, they were like naughty children, hiding without a trace.
Sun Changming led him around a corner and pointed to a mountain peak: "Look!"
A grotto pavilion has been dug out in the middle of the mountain peak. Further up, there is a huge ancient seal script, looming on the surface of the stone peak, like a layer of light and shadow floating.
This is the word "Xuan" - Uncle Sheng Yuan suddenly understood where this place was: "Tianxuan Pavilion?!"
"Exactly." Sun Changming smiled slightly and was already walking towards the grotto pavilion, rising step by step, with invisible stairs under his feet.
It wasn't until he came to the main entrance of the grotto pavilion that the people inside noticed that a few Taoist-looking children were scolding them with pride: "He Fang Kuangzi, do you know where this place is? You are using these tricks,
It’s really a master’s degree!”
Sun Changming was startled by this sentence of "making a fool of himself". He wanted to use his magical power of "Broken Void" to directly break into the gate of Tianxuan Pavilion, but in the end he smiled freely and waved his hand and said: "I don't care about you kids, go to the General Pavilion."
The Lord called out and said that Sun Changming was coming to visit."
Several Taoist boys murmured unconvincedly: "We are not children anymore, and you don't look a few years older." However, the rules of Tianxuan Pavilion are strict, and one of the Taoist boys turned around and ran in to pass. Uncle Sheng Yuan was secretly speechless.
, asked: "Your Excellency, do you want the Pavilion Master to also be a witness?"
"Of course, the master of the pavilion is the authority in this way."
Uncle Sheng Yuan warned himself in his heart that he must not provoke this guy in the future. He is the leader of a sect and a highly respected senior. Just because you said something fair, you will tell him what to do when he is arrested...
Such a person is very reliable as a comrade-in-arms, but he must not be his enemy!
Deep in Tianxuan Pavilion, two old men are comprehending a complex and changing energy in the belly of the mountain. This is the most precious treasure of Tianxuan Pavilion and the reason why the mountain gate is set up here. The void energy here overflows, which is easy for monks from other sects to lose their temper.
Being possessed by demons is a geomantic treasure for them.
The sect was sparsely populated, and the little Taoist boy ran in all the way, shouting: "Master Master, Master Master, there is a handsome guy outside looking for you. He doesn't look easy to mess with. He claims to be Sun Changming..."
If you look carefully at this little Taoist boy, you will see that he is actually a female crowned girl.
One of the two old men is tall and burly, the other is short and skinny. The tall and burly one is not the master of the pavilion, and the short and skinny one... is not either.
The tall and burly one was the senior brother. Hearing this, he frowned slightly and kept talking: "I have already said that with our status in Tianxuan Pavilion, we should not speak easily. These are all cause and effect, aren't they involved?"
The thin and skinny one was his junior brother, and he rushed out of the door with a hot temper: "What did he do here? He just told a few truths and exposed his lies! I will go meet him! I don't believe it yet, and he returned the favor to Tiansi
Are you going to stop letting people talk? Our Tianxuan Pavilion is also an ancient sect with a long history, how can we let him have his way with us!"
The Pavilion Master floated out from that strange mass of void energy. He was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. Unable to stop his junior brother, he shook his head helplessly and followed out: "How can I sit still with your temperament?"
The master of the pavilion and the senior brother came out a step later, and the fiery junior brother was already arguing with each other: "Witness? That's nice! I'm just a three-year-old child, what good will happen if I go to your Chaotian Division? What's your reputation?
It stinks, don’t you know it..."
The master of the pavilion reluctantly held on to his junior brother. He recalled what his master said before his death. The reason why he passed the position of master of the pavilion to himself was completely helpless: if he gave it to his senior brother, he would be able to do it as soon as he closed his eyes.
It is announced that it is best for Tianxuan Pavilion to stay away from the world for thousands of years and not be involved in any cause and effect.
If I leave it to my junior brother... I'm afraid Tianxuan Pavilion will be destroyed within three years.
"What's the matter with Mr. Sun?"
"I am going to build that void passage, and I would like to ask the Pavilion Master to be a witness to prove that I am capable of doing it!" Sun Changming waved his sleeves lightly, it seemed like an invitation, but it was a bit overbearing that could not be refused - Chaotian
Internal flavor.
The Pavilion Master was displeased and said in his heart that you, Sun Changming, deceived those people in the capital to spend money and boasted so much that you were so awesome - this Pavilion Master exposed you, it is normal for you to hold a grudge, after all, Chaotian Division has a dog official.
You came to me to cause trouble in Tianxuan Pavilion - the dog official has lost face and must get it back, otherwise Chaotiansi will not be feared in the future.
All of this is understandable - but if you ask me to be this witness, it's a little unbearable! Is it that simple to build a large void passage from the Nanni Kingdom to the Red Barbarian Continent? It's simply impossible.
Yes, dozens of generations before and after me in Tianxuan Pavilion have studied the laws of the void, don’t they still have such a vision?
If I bear this witness for you, it will be like having your head pressed and forced to eat a mouthful of shit.
"It's not necessary." The Pavilion Master refused without hesitation, and his words were subtle: "Our Tianxuan Pavilion is not a big sect, but we will not easily succumb to power."
"Oh?" Sun Changming raised his eyebrows as if he didn't understand.
The master of the pavilion had his hands in his sleeves and had already grasped something before he said: "I'm afraid you don't know, sir, the history of our Tianxuan Pavilion. We have gone through several dynasties. I don't know how many powerful monks want to
If we destroy Tianxuan Pavilion, how do you think we can survive?"
Lord Sun curled his lips and said: "You know, isn't it just relying on your advantage in the rules of the void to move the entire mountain gate?"
The strange void energy in the belly of the mountain is indeed the fundamental reason why the mountain gate was established here, but for a place with such conditions, Tianxuan Pavilion still has seven or eight alternatives! When it really comes to being forced to a dead end, the entire mountain gate
Will flee without hesitation.
"It would be great if your Excellency knew..." Before the pavilion master finished speaking, he saw that the void of the surrounding stone mountains was suddenly divided into two halves: one half was covered with dense blood threads, and the other half was entangled with dense roots!
Sun Changming continued what he said: "Of course I will ban you if I find out."
Jie Ying and Mei Ba came quietly. After experiencing [The Kingdom of Sorrow], they have made great progress in the rules of the void. Master Sun has the confidence to build this void passage precisely because of the rules in [The Kingdom of Sorrow].
The void is complex. Once you understand the void structure of [Land of Sorrow], then the void problem in the real world cannot be called a "problem".
The faces of the pavilion masters all changed: "Yeiyi!"
"No...it's like a spiritual creature again?"
The junior brother shouted and stepped forward: "Pavilion Master, fight with them!"
The pavilion master and senior brother broke out in a cold sweat, and even a few Taoist boys stepped forward and grabbed his short and thin body: "Master/Uncle Master, don't be impulsive."
The master of the pavilion tried it secretly, and found that the formation of the sect's escape from the sky had received strong interference. The blockade of this "dog officer" was really good! Even if it cannot completely seal the void secret passage of Tianxuan Pavilion, it can
It will cause great interference. In this case, the Pavilion Master does not dare to bet on what consequences it will have if it is forcibly activated.
Master Sun chuckled and raised his fingers towards his junior brother: "You guys loosen his rope and let him come over."
The junior brother was startled for a moment before he realized that this guy was calling him a dog. He roared and broke away from the Taoist boys, and really rushed over!
"Oh, it's quite ferocious." Mr. Sun joked casually, and then the domain opened up, and a sealing force pressed the junior brother to the ground.
The junior brother's head happened to fall at Sun Changming's feet...and the posture was quite shameful, like an old dog lying at the feet of its master.
Sun Changming ignored him and raised his hand to the Pavilion Master: "Pavilion Master, please."
The Pavilion Master sighed and said: "Please let my junior brother go first."
"It's easy to say." Lord Sun released his grip, and his junior brother jumped up and roared for half his voice before being dragged back by the pavilion master: "You guys guard the mountain gate." He winked at his senior brother: After I leave, you guys
Move the mountain gate away immediately!
The senior brother gave him a "reassured" look.
So Mr. Sun turned around and left, and one more "witness" was added to his side. Uncle Sheng Yuan didn't say a word from beginning to end, but he really saw Chaotian Si's "arrogance"!
As a result, the belief in my heart became even stronger: Mr. Sun can only be a friend, not an enemy.
