Fengshui Apprentice Debuts for Ten Years and Becomes Celestial Master 224 Tianshi Wuzun talks about the world, Jiulong Mountain flourishes and declines!
224 Tianshi Wuzun talks about the world, Jiulong Mountain flourishes and declines!
"Humph, the winner of Jiulong Mountain is respected. Since Mr. Shengxie has no interest in arguing with you, I have nothing to say. How you want to deal with it is your own business.
In this Jiulong Mountain, no one can order anyone. It just depends on whether others obey you or not. If you are incompetent, don’t blame me for not giving you face."
Jiaolong snorted coldly. He was deeply dissatisfied with the Heavenly Master Wu Zun. After all, he couldn't completely defeat him with absolute power like Fang Ce did! Naturally, he couldn't be convinced.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. It won't take long before you will recognize my blood disciple's abilities."
Heavenly Master Wu Zun nodded lightly, and then looked at everyone present: "Now, let's enter the city first. After I understand the detailed situation inside and outside the Jiulong Mountain, I can talk to you about this world?"
Everyone in Jiulong Mountain couldn't help but look at each other, and they all felt a little curious about the arrival of Heavenly Master Wu Zun.
Fang Ce gently shook his white jade fan and calmly observed the actions of Heavenly Master Wu Zun. He still couldn't tell the exact intention of his father-in-law. He could only say that it was definitely not for the development and rise of Jiulong Mountain, or for his own ambition.
Or something else?
After a while, everyone had returned to Kowloon City.
Heavenly Master Wu Zun randomly asked for a place to live, and learned about the detailed situation of Kowloon City with the Tiger King and others.
Fang Ce and King Diao returned to their residence.
"Master Shengxie, that blood disciple, the slave family always feels weird, as if he has some purpose."
The Diao King frowned.
"There is a mixed bag of people and monsters in Jiulong Mountain. Isn't it normal to have a purpose? What is this person's intention? Is it related to us?"
Fang Ce shook his white jade fan lightly, looking uninterested.
"Of course it doesn't matter to you. You're a guy who doesn't want to care about anything."
The Marten King pouted.
"Hey, little beauty Diao, do you still have any objections to this young master?"
Fang Ce couldn't help but pinch the Diao King's delicate nose.
"Young Master Shengxie, you are so powerful, how dare the slave family have any objections."
The Diao King slapped Fang Ce's hand away and turned his head coquettishly.
Fang Ce shook his head and smiled, but didn't pay much attention.
At night, I wandered into the city and found myself in Xin Yu's room.
"Fang Ce!? Why are you here in the middle of the night? What happened?"
Xin Yu clenched the quilt tightly, with a look of shock and embarrassment on her face.
Fang Ce made a gentle gesture of silence: "The main reason is that I have a very important thing to tell you, Fairy."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
Xin Yu was confused.
"Today, Heavenly Master Wu Zun came to Kowloon City."
Fang Ce responded.
"father!?"
Xin Yu suddenly showed a look of surprise, and didn't care about so many details. He got out of bed, took the Taoist robe next to him and put it on. He came to Fang Ce with an excited and suspicious look on his face: "Fang Ce, do you mean Tianshi Wu Zun? My father?
?Arrived in Kowloon City today?”
"Um."
Fang Ce nodded.
"How... how is it possible? How do you know my father? Is there someone pretending to be..."
"Uh... well... I'm sorry, Fairy, actually, there were some things I didn't tell you when I was in Northern Xinjiang..."
"Huh? Northern Xinjiang? Did you meet my father in Northern Xinjiang!? Wait! The Great Boundless Sword Technique!? My father taught it to you!?"
Xin Yu suddenly remembered that Fang Ce had defeated Taoist Master Mingguang and Taoist Mingyin with the Boundless Sword Technique before! Because her father also knew the Boundless Sword Technique! Then, if Fang Ce met her father in Northern Xinjiang, this would make sense.
Got it!
"What's going on!? Why didn't you tell me before!!"
Xin Yu couldn't help but hold on to Fang Ce's lapel,
"Uh... Fairy, don't get excited. I only met my father-in-law once, and I didn't actually know much about him, so I didn't say much more to you."
Fang Ce was embarrassed.
"You...can you tell me now?"
Xin Yu's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"This... Fairy, don't be like this. If you want to know, I will tell you of course. If it is really important, I won't hide it from you. Wouldn't I come to you now?"
Fang Ce suddenly felt a little sorry. In fact, there was another reason why he hadn't mentioned it more before, and that was because of the Evil Emperor of the Huns! The Evil Emperor had mentioned that Heavenly Master Wu Zun had taken refuge with the Huns and was related to the mysterious Great Wilderness Ancient One.
God is in touch.
It's just that he has not yet determined whether it is true or false.
"Well...then tell me..."
Xin Yu pursed her jade lips lightly.
"Um."
Fang Ce nodded and spoke slowly. Of course, he did not dare to say anything about the Evil Emperor for the time being. It would only make disciple Xin Yu more worried until it was determined clearly.
After a while.
"Is it really the father...why...why did he join Kowloon City?"
Xin Yu looked worried.
"I'm not very clear about this right now, so I came here to find out more about my father-in-law and see if I can get any clues."
Fang Ce gently held Xin Yu's hand, telling her not to worry too much.
"I don't know anything about my father. I haven't seen my father since that incident... I didn't expect that my father has now cultivated the evil energy of the four realms..."
Xin Yu retracted her hand, pursed her lips tightly, and her worried look only increased, which showed that she was worried. Otherwise, she would not have bothered to pay attention to Fang Ce's advantageous address to her father.
"Didn't Heavenly Master Wu Zun also cultivate holy energy back then? Aren't I fine too? Fairy, what do you have to worry about?"
Fang Ce was confused.
"It's different. My father fell into the devil's path, and his holy energy turned into evil energy. But you have both holy and evil energy coexisting, which has never happened since ancient times. You can only be said to be a special situation..."
Xin Yu sighed lightly.
"Hmm... Okay... But now it seems to me that there is nothing unusual about Heavenly Master Wu Zun. At most, he seems to want to dominate?"
Fang Ce hesitated to speak.
"Fang Ce..."
Xin Yu suddenly approached Fang Ce's arms, grabbed his collar tightly, raised his head and stared into Fang Ce's eyes: "Take me into Kowloon City, I... want to see my father!"
"this……"
Fang Ce was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly shook his head: "Fairy, I will take you to see the Heavenly Master Wu Zun now, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient..."
"Don't worry, I won't reveal your identity. Fang Ce, I beg you, help me..."
Xin Yu couldn't help but look pleading. In her opinion, Fang Ce was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he refused to agree to her.
"This... is not... fairy, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
Fang Ce couldn't help but feel helpless.
"Then you agreed?"
"No... Fairy, I don't know the current situation of Heavenly Master Martial Lord. If I take you to see him rashly, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. And looking at it now, in a short time, Heavenly Master Martial Lord will definitely not
If you want to leave the forces of Jiulong Mountain, you don’t have to be in a hurry."
Fang Ce shook his head.
"but……"
"Don't worry, fairy. No matter what, that's your father too. I won't let anything happen to him."
Fang Ce gently pressed Xin Yu's shoulders to comfort him.
"Fang Ce... I really want to see my father... Otherwise, I will also make a fake identity... Do you think you can let me sneak into Kowloon City? I can try to see my father myself?"
Xin Yu still had a pleading look on her face.
"Fairy, I didn't say I won't help you meet the Heavenly Master Wu Zun, but it's not the time yet. You don't want the Heavenly Master Wu Zun to leave Kowloon City directly to avoid you after seeing you, right?
After all, your father has been anonymous for so many years and has not found you, and he has the intention of avoiding everyone. Don't you want me to understand this first?"
Fang Ce was helpless.
"this……"
Xin Yu was stunned for a moment. Why hadn't she thought about this before? The so-called concern is chaos. He was her biological father whom she hadn't seen for many years. How could she not be anxious now that she had a chance to see him?
"Okay, fairy, please calm down first, so as not to get upset because of your anxiety. I will go back first and I will tell you any news."
Fang Ce gently stroked Xin Yu's head and left quickly.
"Well...I'll wait for you..."
Xin Yu couldn't help but responded in a daze.
Two days passed, inside the Kowloon City Council Hall.
Fang Ce and Jiaolong all arrived.
"I am very grateful to you for coming here to discuss the overall situation of the world."
Heavenly Master Wu Zun hugged everyone, especially looking at Fang Ce.
"You're welcome."
Fang Ce responded with a smile and clasped his fists.
"No need to say more polite words. Let me see what your vision is."
The dragon responded calmly.
"Ha, let me ask first, do you know the reason why Jiulong Mountain has been growing but not expanding?"
"What other reasons could there be for this? Isn't it just that the strength is not enough?"
Jiaolong frowned.
"Strength? Your strength is not weak anymore."
Heavenly Master Wu Zun shook his head.
"forage?"
King Diao was confused.
"Close, but not quite accurate."
Heavenly Master Wu Zun shook his head.
"Just say it."
The Diao King frowned.
"Because you only plunder, not produce."
Heavenly Master Wu Zun spoke softly.
"Production? Did you make a mistake? We are from Jiulong Mountain. If we need anything, we can just grab it. What is production? So laborious?"
The Marten King curled his lips.
The Jiaolongs also frowned slightly.
"So, this is your eternal limitation. Looting, in the short term, does come quickly. But this can only sustain the needs of a small number of people in a short period of time.
A few hundred bandits on a hilltop and three or two towns nearby are enough. A few thousand bandits and a dozen nearby towns are barely enough. Tens of thousands of bandits and a radius of one hundred or two hundred miles are barely enough for you to search back and forth.
But what about tens of thousands of bandits? How far do you have to search this mountain? And when you bandits reach tens of thousands, how many prey do you think there will be waiting stupidly in place within a hundred miles?
Do you shave?"
Heavenly Master Wu Zun asked quietly.
"this……"
The Diao King frowned.
"Food is limited, and the expanded military strength is naturally limited. Those of you in high positions must have enough food and other things, but if you are on the fringes and cannot get food, how can you still stay?
And the rule of Jiulong Mountain is that you can come and go freely, and a well-fed man doesn’t know a hungry man is hungry, so you probably don’t care much about the marginal existence, right?”
Heavenly Master Wu Zun spoke again.
Jiaolong and the others couldn't help but look at each other. With existences at their level, it was indeed impossible to pay much attention to the people below...
Fang Ce just watched quietly. He naturally didn't think about how Jiulong Mountain would develop, because he didn't want Jiulong Mountain to really develop. Wouldn't that cause trouble for himself?
At this moment, the Diao King couldn't help but pursed his lips: "What can we do? Are we still allowed to farm our own land in Jiulong Mountain? Are you kidding me? Who cares about you here?"
"It is naturally impossible for you to farm the land. But if you really want to develop, the first thing you have to do is to feed the people."
Heavenly Master Wu Zun responded.
"Provide people?"
The Diao King frowned.
"It's just plundering, which is always the lowest level of beast behavior. No matter how you develop, it will only reach the level of a mountain. You don't think that by occupying such a Kowloon City, you think you have broken away from the identity of a bandit and a mountain monster, right?
Essentially, aren't you still limited to Jiulong Mountain? If you really want to expand, you must build your own country and raise your own people."
"Oh? After all this, why do I feel that you want to do what the imperial court does and make yourself king?"
The Diao King couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Jiaolong and the others also showed displeasure and rejection.
Fang Ce showed a hint of surprise. Is his father-in-law really ambitious now? After all, when it comes to the kingdom, he is destined to completely conflict with the current imperial court and eventually completely replace it...
"Miss Diao Wang, there is no need to misunderstand. Supporting the people belongs to the people, and the freedom of Jiulong Mountain belongs to the freedom of Jiulong Mountain. This is not a contradiction. What I mean is that on the existing basis of Jiulong Mountain, add the clause of supporting the people.
You may not be able to understand the people of the kingdom. But if I put it another way, you raise slaves to work for yourself and provide supplies. Can you understand it better?"
Heavenly Master Wu Zun smiled and spoke.
"Raising slaves?"
The Diao King couldn't help but think deeply.
"With the current situation of Kowloon City, if we continue to rely on plunder to maintain it, we can barely have 20,000 troops at most, and it will still be difficult to last long.
In the past, your scale was small and you could rely on plundering to maintain a relatively rich life. But now, your scale has reached the point where it has reached a state of decline.
If we don't change our thinking, it won't be long before the buildings are empty and we won't say it's completely ruined, but it's almost there."
Heavenly Master Wu Zun spoke again.
"Well...what you said does sound reasonable. But..."
King Diao hesitantly looked at Heavenly Master Wu Zun: "I think given our current situation, we can completely take another approach."
"Oh? I wonder what Miss Diao Wang has to say? I am willing to listen."
Heavenly Master Wu Zun smiled lightly.
Fang Ce also showed a hint of curiosity. In his opinion, Tianshi Wu Zun's strategic vision is indeed top-notch. He has hit the nail on the head about the current situation in Jiulong Mountain, and he can't fault it. He really can't think of anything wrong with it.
Do you girls have any better insights?
"It's very simple, just continue to attack the imperial court. Previously, Master Jiaolong and the others were obstructed by Taoist Master Mingguang and Taoist Mingyin, and were unable to do their best. Now that you, the blood disciple, have joined, use your strength to join forces with Master Jiaolong and the others.
, will we still lose to Taoist Master Mingguang and Taoist Mingyin? Why go through so many twists and turns?"
The Marten King responded.
Hearing this, Jiaolong and the others couldn't help but nodded in realization. After all, the strength gap between them and the two Dao Masters Ming Guang and Min An was not far away. With the addition of a Heavenly Master and Martial Lord, they were absolutely sure to win!
"Uh...hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!"
However, Heavenly Master Wu Zun couldn't help but raise his head and laugh.
"You...why are you laughing!?"
The Marten King was immediately displeased.
"Hahahaha! It's nothing, I just think Miss Diao Wang is quite innocent and straightforward."
Heavenly Master Wu Zun shook his head and smiled.
"you!"
The Diao King couldn't help but open his eyes angrily. This innocent and frank sound seemed to be a compliment, but when he thought about it carefully, he was not scolding her for being stupid!
Fang Ce on the side couldn't help but feel funny.
"No... don't misunderstand me, Miss Diao Wang, I don't mean anything else."
Heavenly Master Wu Zun waved his hand.
"Then tell me, what's wrong with my thinking?"
The Diao King was displeased and threatened to hit someone as if what he said was wrong. Anyway, there was someone behind her to support her, so who was afraid of whom?
