In Yunan Province, Liang Jixiong rode a war horse and inspected the checkpoints on the border official road with Ji Qi.
Although there are frequent wars between the two countries, it does not affect trade. However, Tunu merchants entering Daxuan must undergo strict inspections.
Daxuan merchants passing through Tunu were originally subject to interrogation, but the checkpoint at Tunu was canceled on its own not long after.
The reason is simple: Tunu people are not qualified to embarrass Xuan people.
The merchants of Daxuan may not choose Tunu, but the shepherds of Tunu cannot do without Daxuan.
They would exchange a large amount of furs and livestock for some furniture, kitchen utensils and daily necessities from Daxuan. Even an ordinary washbasin was very precious among Tunu.
Liang Jixiong was a little worried: "At this time every year, I feel uneasy. If you smell something wrong, you should quickly seal the road and stop trade."
The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the Tunu are coming to plunder grain. Since the founding of Daxuan, the plunder of the autumn harvest has been an unavoidable disaster in the north.
Ji Qi smiled and said: "Elder Shengwei, don't worry too much. Last autumn, Tu Nu came here twice just to make trouble.
They didn't grab the things, but they received a lot of beatings from me. Tu Nu also has a memory. I think she still remembers the pain this year.
Their water and grass are good this year, and their livestock are growing well. Let them go back in exchange for more food and expenses. If they can survive the winter, they will stop making trouble.
If we block the road now, it will be equivalent to cutting off the Tunu's livelihood. I feel that this is inappropriate, because I am forcing the Tunu to rob it."
What Ji Qi said was indeed reasonable, but Liang Jixiong was still uneasy in his heart.
"Elder, in the past few days since I've been here, you haven't given me hospitality. Today, I'll give you a face no matter what you say. I'll treat you to a drink."
Ji Qi has always been grateful and respectful to Liang Jixiong. The two of them fought together, and Liang Jixiong also saved Ji Qi. Needless to say, the feelings of comrades, let alone the grace of saving his life, he invited Liang Jixiong to drink with his sincerity.
, not out of politeness.
But Liang Jixiong has a bad habit. Once he has something on his mind, he will become very depressed when drinking.
It may be due to his status as a third-level cultivator, or it may be due to Canglong's domineering nature. Once Liang Jixiong falls into depression, it will seriously affect the emotions of those around him.
It doesn't matter if it affects Ji Qi's mood, but it won't matter if it upsets the morale of the army.
But he asked what could make Liang Jixiong so depressed?
It was because in Yelang Kingdom, Liang Jixiong discovered that Hong Juncheng had domineering cultivation, so he had some doubts.
After returning to Canglong Palace, Liang Jixiong sent a message to Lord Dun Wanxing.
Dun Wanxingjun replied, telling Liang Jixiong that autumn was here and asking him to pay more attention to border security.
Liang Jixiong's question seemed to have nothing to do with Dun Wan's answer, but Liang Jixiong did not dare to neglect and hurried to the northern border. After walking around the northern border, he found that Tunu was unusually calm, much calmer than in previous years.
Liang Jixiong has fought all his life and knows Tunu's temperament well.
Autumn is here, and the robbery season is here.
They were going to come over and cause trouble for two days, and Liang Jixiong felt mentally at ease.
If they had to stay calm like this, Liang Jixiong felt that something big would happen.
Moreover, Lord Dun Wanxing asked him to pay attention to the Northern Territory. This was definitely not just a casual comment. What happened in the Northern Territory became a knot in Liang Jixiong's heart that he couldn't get rid of.
In this world, it seems that there are only two people who can help Liang Jixiong resolve his depression, one is Xu Zhiqiong and the other is Miss Jinghan.
The methods of the two people are different, but they can both help Liang Jixiong solve practical problems.
Now that both of them are not around, Liang Jixiong can only find a way to deal with it on his own.
He used the fourth-level Canglong skill to fly to Luzhou that night and came to Shifang Goulan.
Sitting in the hook railing, he ordered two pots of wine and several plates of tea and fruit. Liang Jixiong drank while watching the singing and dancing, feeling a little more relaxed.
After a bottle of wine, the elegant room was suddenly pushed open. A man suddenly pushed the door in and sat next to Liang Jixiong.
Liang Jixiong frowned, who doesn't know the rules so much? How can he break into other people's private rooms casually?
The man sat in front of Liang Jixiong and said with a smile: "Ji Xiong, I haven't seen you for many years."
Liang Jixiong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and saluted: "Master, long time no see!"
The man smiled and said: "This is a secular place, don't be polite, just sit down and talk."
Canglong's domineering power is unique to the Liang family, and its practice is inherited by the family, but where did Liang Jixiong get his master?
Because the man opposite is a special case. His name is Liang Guangqiu. In terms of seniority, Liang Jixiong’s great-grandfather, when Liang Jixiong first entered Canglong Hall, Liang Guangqiu was already the elder of Shengde.
Because he took a fancy to Liang Jixiong's talent, Liang Guangqiu gave Liang Jixiong a lot of advice in private, which quickly promoted Liang Jixiong to the fifth rank.
Liang Jixiong was very grateful to Liang Guangqiu, but he didn't understand why Liang Guangqiu favored him so much.
At first, Liang Jixiong thought this was because the two of them had a close blood relationship in the clan.
Unexpectedly, Liang Guangqiu immediately warned Liang Jixiong that when he entered the Canglong Hall, he should not talk about blood connections, and he was not allowed to call him great-grandfather or anything like that in the future. He could only call him master.
Therefore, Liang Jixiong is still called Master Liang Guangqiu.
Liang Guangqiu served as the Shengde Elder in Canglong Hall for twenty-five years, until he left the mortal world through his cultivation and became the Star Lord of Yangmen.
In the Canglong Hall, Liang Jixiong prayed to Yangmen Xingjun many times when he encountered difficulties, but there was never a response. Unexpectedly, Yangmen Xingjun came down to earth in person tonight, which made Liang Jixiong overjoyed.
"Master, this place is too noisy for your status. I will find another place to talk."
"Ji Xiong, there's no need to bother. You know I don't care about this as a teacher." Yangmen Xingjun smiled and sealed the entire private room with domineering power, preventing outsiders from entering or eavesdropping. "I came to see you today to take you there."
This place, Ji Xiong, your time has come."
The heat has arrived!
"This, this is going to..." Liang Jixiong was quite surprised.
Liang Guangqiu smiled and said: "Kang Su has prepared the star palace for you. You will set off with me tonight and leave the mortal world."
Liang Jixiong was speechless for a while, and Yangmen Xingjun was quite surprised: "Dun Wan didn't mention this to you before?"
"I mentioned it occasionally, but I didn't say the exact date..."
Lord Dun Wanxing did talk about this, but he only said that the time was coming for Liang Jixiong to practice well. He did not expect that this day would come so suddenly.
Yangmen Xingjun smiled and said: "He can't tell the exact time. I just received Kangsu's order today, so I rushed to pick you up."
After saying that, Yangmen Xingjun picked up the wine glass and poured a glass for Liang Jixiong: "Ji Xiong, after drinking this glass of wine, the fate of master and disciple will be over. From now on, you and I will work together above the mortal world."
True God works."
After becoming Star Lords, we are colleagues. There is nothing wrong with this.
Are you really going to move to Star Palace?
I became a star official!
I have to live forever!
This is a good thing.
But I don’t know why, Liang Jixiong is always unhappy.
"Ji Xiong, what are you waiting for?"
Yangmen Xingjun picked up the cup.
Liang Jixiong drank the wine and said with a smile: "Master, please allow me to go back to the capital and pack my luggage."
"What's there to clean up?" Yangmen Xingjun sneered, "There's everything in the Star Palace, just throw away those shabby things from Fanchen."
"There are still things that I need to explain to the juniors of Canglong Palace..."
"There's no need to rush to explain now. From now on, as Star Lord, you can just give them orders."
"Also, the emperor should have informed him in advance."
"Isn't this the same? When the time comes, just let Canglong Palace spread the word. Do you have to go and say it yourself?"
"This..." As he spoke, Liang Jixiong had a sad expression on his face.
Liang Guangqiu smacked his lips and said, "Ji Xiong, what's going on? How many people are looking forward to escaping from the mortal world, are you unwilling or something?"
Liang Jixiong sighed softly: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't bear to worry about it. Canglong Palace has been hit hard many times, and now there is no one left. If I leave, I won't even be able to choose a decent elder."
Liang Guangqiu smiled and said: "You are old and your eyesight is blurred. Good seedlings are lying there, but you can't see them."
Liang Jixiong said in surprise: "Master, please give me an explanation."
"Do you know how many levels of cultivation Yuyao has now?"
"Uh..." Liang Jixiong knew that Liang Yuyao's cultivation level had exceeded the seventh level, but he never made it clear.
Yangmen Xingjun made it clear: "Yu Yao's cultivation level has reached the fifth level, almost approaching the fourth level. In another two years, what's wrong with becoming an elder?
Besides, there is Liang Xianchun in the Canglong Palace, and he is a bit stupid, but after all, he has a fourth-level cultivation, and with the two of them in charge, can you still not let go of the Canglong Palace?"
"The two of them still lack some experience after all..."
"Without experience, you helped them and went to the Star Palace. It's not like I won't let you come back."
"But……"
Seeing Liang Jixiong's repeated hesitation, Yangmen Xingjun frowned: "Ji Xiong, taking you to the Star Palace is Kang Jinlong's order from Kangsu. The rules of the Taoist sect are not up to you to do as you please. Don't say any more. Just do whatever you want now."
I'm leaving!"
Yangmen Xingjun's tone changed, he was very anxious.
Liang Jixiong took half a step back, wondering if this matter was really so urgent?
First of all, I should wait until I reach the second level before going to the Star Palace.
A few days ago, I tested my own cultivation level, and I haven't reached the second level yet.
Even though his cultivation has suddenly increased in the past two days and has reached the second level, there are still problems with this process.
When Liang Guangqiu first went to the Star Palace, it took more than three months from receiving the oracle, setting up the altar, preparing for the sacrifice, to the end of the sacrifice, when he officially left the Canglong Palace and entered the Star Palace.
Now, if you want me to log into the Star Palace, I have to leave overnight, but I'm not even allowed to say a word?
What is the situation?
Liang Jixiong didn't allow Liang Jixiong to think too much. A burst of domineering power suddenly struck him, forcing Liang Jixiong to lower his head.
In the private room, several hanging paintings flew up and down with the domineering force.
This is a warning from Yangmen Xingjun.
"Ji Xiong, don't say anything unnecessary and come with me."
Liang Jixiong was not someone who could be easily subdued. He raised his head, looked at Yangmen Xingjun and said, "Master, I really can't leave today."
"Why bother? Why do you have to toast me instead of eating the fine wine? It's a good thing, why do you have to annoy me?" Liang Guangqiu suddenly darkened his face, and was about to mobilize his domineering spirit again, only to see the paintings in the room flying up in advance.
, but it was even more violent than the flight just now.
What's happening?
Liang Guangqiu was startled.
My domineering spirit hasn't been unleashed yet, why did this painting fly away?
A hanging painting suddenly broke free from its hook and flew in front of Liang Guangqiu.
It turns out that someone is controlling these paintings!
"The skills of an insect!" Liang Guangqiu smiled contemptuously, waved his sleeves, and spread the scroll with a powerful and domineering attitude.
The sleeves are swung out in a chic way, and the strong and domineering look is also revealed.
But the scroll did not swing away. It paused in the air for a moment, then hit Liang Guangqiu in the face with a crisp sound.
This time, Liang Guangqiu's eyes were full of stars.
He blushed, not because of shame, but because of congestion, and the blow was very hard.
When I looked again in the blink of an eye, Liang Jixiong had disappeared.
