Chapter 444: Rumors about the Kirin Nest, crisis is coming
Holy capital, Chaoge.
The streets were very busy early in the morning. Teahouses and wine shops were full of guests. Shops along the way and even passers-by were whispering to each other.
Most of what everyone is talking about is the same.
Words such as Jiangdu, Life and Death List, and Dahei are the words that appear most frequently.
All living beings are confused and confused, but their thoughts are roughly the same, just like throwing a stone into a lake, causing ripples in the vast and majestic holy city.
Although this fluctuation is very small, it still makes some human overlords feel a little uncomfortable, as if the peace of the past has been broken.
The Eastern Region of the Holy Capital.
Deep in the courtyard of a wealthy mansion, a voice as clear and beautiful as an oriole sounded.
"Xiaoyun, what happened? Why is the Holy City so noisy today?"
The courtyard is extremely wide, and there are all kinds of exotic flowers and auspicious grasses planted in front of the door. They bloom all year round, and the fragrance of the flowers is refreshing.
A middle-aged woman who was watering water quickly walked to the door after hearing this, half-bowed and said: "Back to my ancestors, I heard that a peerless evildoer came out of Jiangdu City.
After five consecutive battles on the Life and Death Ranking, he broke into the Tianzun Rank. Not only did he push the Youtian Demon Lord, who was originally ranked tenth, out of the Tianzun Rank, but he also ranked first among the Tianzun.
Second only to the Human Emperor, and far ahead of the two great ministers, the Left Prime Minister and the Right Prime Minister."
There was silence in the room for a moment, and then another voice came.
"What is this person's last name? What is his level of cultivation? How old is he?"
"This man is the governor of Qingshui County. His name is Tie Tang. He is also a supervisor..."
"Tietang?"
The woman outside the door was interrupted before she could finish her words.
"Yes, ancestor, do you know him?"
"Go and call Black Stone to come see me."
The half-bowed woman trembled when she heard this. She knew who Black Stone was and what it meant for the ancestor to ask him to come.
"Old Ancestor, Yun'er will go and pass on the message later."
Less than half a stick of incense.
A black cloud gathered outside the courtyard like thick ink, and gradually turned into a man in black robe, with a jade ghost face on his face, and his specific face could not be seen clearly.
"Sir, Black Stone is here."
"Come in."
Crunch!
This door seemed to have not been opened for a long time. The moment it was opened, a rich black light burst out.
Heishi walked into the house, immediately knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and didn't look twice.
"Please give me your orders!"
"Is there any news about Qilin Nest? I can't hold on much longer. Within a thousand years, the soul of the soul will disintegrate, and I won't even be able to reincarnate.
Only by finding the Kirin Nest, washing my remains with the true blood of the Kirin, and repeating my great path with the Kirin Avenue can I be reborn."
Black Stone's body trembled slightly, and he shook his head helplessly: "This subordinate deserves death, and no trace of the nest has been found so far.
Please forgive me for speaking frankly.
Regarding that rumor...is there something untrue?
The last unicorn and the last demon in the world fought to the end of their strength, and each has trapped the other until now. I'm afraid they would have died long ago, even if they were found..."
The oriole-like voice was not angry, but seemed to have remembered something, and sighed quietly: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes.
But I believe...he won't lie to me!
There must be such a place in the world."
This sentence.
Blackstone has been heard many times.
But he has never slacked off. He has searched for thousands of years and spent countless financial resources and manpower, but he has never found it.
Even.
As far as he knew, he was not the first group of people to search for the Qilin Nest. Someone had performed the same mission as him as early as unknown how long ago.
This is simply illusory stuff.
Whether they are unicorns or demons, they are both extinct races. It is too difficult to find traces of them.
"The person you mentioned about the Fang family's bounty before...isn't his name Tie Tang?"
Heishi seemed to have thought of something and kept kowtowing: "Sir, this is a matter of failure for my subordinates. Please give me a chance."
"Tell me what's going on."
"At first, my subordinates were mindful of his status as an inspector and did not dare to make a big show of it, so they invited the Immortal Killer Sword, who was second on the list of witch killers, to assassinate him.
Unexpectedly, the opponent's strength is indeed extraordinary, and he has never succeeded in killing the Immortal Sword.
Until today.
I know that Tie Tang...has made such a big name."
"Are you sure that the real owner of the Fang family's reward is this person?"
"This is correct. I am willing to guarantee it with my life."
"In that case...tell me again about Tie Tang's past deeds."
After half a stick of incense.
"Sir, this man has gained power. Since he doesn't know what his subordinates have done before, it's better to put it aside for the time being..."
"He will know sooner or later, maybe he already knows it now."
"How should subordinates deal with it?"
"Don't wait until you want to eat pears before planting a tree. I don't want to hear about him for the third time."
Black Stone was stunned.
But he still kowtowed heavily.
"Don't worry, sir, I will do whatever it takes."
"The world is huge, not just the human world. The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and the roads are accessible. Just feel free to do whatever you want."
"Subordinates take orders!"
……
Clearwater City.
Tie Tang, who had just finished counting 240,000 kilograms of dragon's rice with Li Qingwan, suddenly felt a rush of emotion, and there was a faint sense of unexpectedness between Zifu's brows.
"Huh?"
"What went wrong?"
Tie Tang calmed down, brushed away all distracting thoughts, and his consciousness remained calm, trying to sense the source of the crisis.
A few moments.
He opened his eyes suddenly, but there was a trace of confusion in them.
"I have reached a state of mind where I cannot see or hear anything, and avoid danger. As long as someone wants to deal with me, I will immediately sense it.
Why is this time... so weird?"
It was clear that there was a crisis for him, but Tie Tang turned a blind eye to it, as if nothing had happened.
"This situation... there is only one possibility!"
"There is a fairy whose mood is not weaker than mine, or even higher than mine, and has taken a liking to me."
"Who could it be? Could it be that my second place on the life and death list is too big, which has caused dissatisfaction among some overlords?"
Although Tie Tang has an extraordinary state of mind and has achieved many achievements that even immortals and gods cannot achieve, he is not an immortal god after all. He does not fully control the path of cause and effect, and cannot rely on his own cause and effect to trace the origin of Shuo.
"As long as I don't go out in Qingshui City, with the help of the formation and the right location, it won't be that easy even if someone in the Hedao realm wants to kill me."
He didn't know whether the other party was one person or many people, whether it was a temporary act or a long-planned plan, whether it was determined to deal with him, or whether it was just a thought in his heart without taking action.
It is impossible for him to know this, so he can only make the safest choice.
Li Qingwan saw that something was wrong with his expression, so she stepped forward and asked, "What? What's wrong?"
"No, maybe it's because my reputation on the life and death list is too great, which has attracted the attention of some envious people."
Tie Tang didn't think any more and pointed at the mountains of shiny, red asparagus rice in front of him.
"In this way, you allocate 200,000 jin, use 100,000 to train the women's battalion, and use the other 100,000 to build the ten battalions of elite soldiers. Then you will make changes after the Quanliang strategy has been harvested."
"Why don't you save more for yourself and train Tiefu or your own people?"
Tie Tang smiled and said: "Take your time. In fact, the current formation alone is enough to support them."
Most of Qingshui City's city defense formation was paid for by Tie Tang. Coupled with the newly added Great Zhoutian Starry Formation, it can be said that the entire city defense formation was laid out by him.
He is not a saint. Since there are benefits, he will definitely try his best to fight for his own people.
The area where Tiefu is located... can be said to be the place where the vitality of heaven and earth and the power of starlight are the strongest in the entire Qingshui City.
There are not many people in Tiefu. Counting the relatives and servants of the three Tielong brothers, they are only over a thousand years old. Compared with other aristocratic families, they are pitifully small and cannot use up so many resources.
Tie Tang divided 10,000 jins of the remaining 40,000 kilograms of Longxumi among his men and asked them to hand it over to the four gluttons in Guandong.
The remaining 30,000 yuan was put into the iron mansion granary to provide daily food for everyone in the mansion.
One day flies by in a blink of an eye.
Yanxia Cave Sky now has the bonus of the Dou Zhan World, attracting more and more tourists. The competitions in the Dou Zhan World are also in full swing. Many people are trying to fight against all kinds of big evils and monsters that they have never seen before. This has caused the already high price of Yanxia coupons to increase a lot again.
Nowadays, the most prestigious people in Qingshui City are not the major aristocratic families, but any official within the Qingshui City government system.
Even if you are a yamen servant, after you leave the yamen, there will be wealthy businessmen treating you to banquets, just to build a good relationship with them and buy haze coupons.
The output of haze coupons...
At present, apart from the fact that government officials can redeem their personal salaries, there is only one unclear rule.
Those who have made contributions to Qingshui County can be rewarded as appropriate.
Tie Tang had not made it clear before that he had made a contribution and to what extent he would be entitled to haze coupons, and no one knew the specific extent.
Many foreign visitors, especially some extremely wealthy businessmen, began to donate money in various names.
Donating money must have a good name, and it must be donated to a place that the county governor thinks is useful, otherwise it will be in vain.
And after Li Yao inadvertently revealed that the martial arts school and the liberal arts school had poor teaching staff due to lack of funds, everyone rushed over like sharks that wanted to smell the fishy smell.
At this time, Tie Tang was sitting in the county government office, discussing with Li Yao, Fang Lexian and others about the martial arts hall and the literary academy in the subordinate city.
"If you want to change your personal quality, education is an indispensable part and the most critical part.
Brother Fang, there’s no need to say more, I will definitely get this free compulsory education.
You thought I didn’t have enough money before.
Now you can see that it’s not that there’s not enough money, but there’s too much money, and I’m afraid to accept it.”
Fang Lexian laughed loudly and gave a thumbs up: "Brother, you are awesome. I didn't expect you to have such means.
In this case...
Then I’ll look at the auction house and boat dealer that I’ve decided on before, so I can take action immediately.”
"Brother, what's the best idea?"
"It's not a good idea, but you can rest assured on the ship's side that our family will bear the brunt and will be the first to land at the dock.
With our Fang family opening the way, the road behind is not difficult to walk, but I am afraid there will be too many people walking.
As for the auction house... I think it would be a good choice to put it in your commercial center."
Li Yao also nodded when he heard this, and said with some admiration: "The major aristocratic families fought fiercely for the location of this commercial center, but I didn't expect that the adults would come under the hood and directly set the location where the original Si family was.
Above the mansion."
"If I don't do this, after the Si family's territory is divided up, there is no guarantee that a second Si family will not appear.
But these are all small things. What I lack now is not resources or territory, but talents.
There are too few people available to me. Even if the auction house is opened, there will be no one with relevant experience to take charge."
When Fang Lexian heard this, he patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, brother, I can still make the decision on this little matter.
I can transfer a few auctioneers from the Fang family, and if you let someone you trust follow you and learn for a year or so, someone will always stand out."
Tie Tang was overjoyed when he heard this. He raised his glass and said, "Thank you, Brother Fang. I'd like to give you a toast!"
Fang Lexian also raised his glass in return, drank the wine in one gulp, and then said slowly: "I can still help you a little bit with this business matter, but with regard to cultivation... I have to pay more attention. News has spread among our clan that many people in the Holy Capital think you are too arrogant, that your reputation is superior to that of the left and right prime ministers, and that you are trying to compete with the Human Emperor.
Many people, including some princes and some court overlords, are dissatisfied and want to suppress your limelight.
Nowadays, they can't find any good opportunity. Once they have the opportunity, they will definitely take action.
During this period of time, you’d better not make any big moves in government affairs, practice more, and strive to enter the mysterious realm of immortality as soon as possible.”
Fame and wealth, fame and wealth, fame is beneficial.
This is what Tie Tang is like now.
It is precisely because of his illustrious reputation that he has attracted so many people from other places, so that the reputation of Yanxia Cave Sky can be established and the business can last for a long time.
But it is precisely because of this that it has attracted many jealous and jealous people.
Moreover, he is only in the Wizarding Realm now, not even an immortal. It is really difficult to match the title of 'No. 2 in the world', which will definitely make some people dissatisfied.
Especially when it comes to the chants of the Holy Capital, many officials under the important ministers such as the left prime minister, the right prime minister, Wu Mu Sangong, etc. are the most unconvinced.
How could a little magic witch, an ant-like existence, dare to rank above the existence they respected?
Of course.
Many people would not be angry because of this, let alone take action against Tie Tang.
But if Tie Tang himself causes any trouble... then he will inevitably suffer a lot and be made things difficult for him.
Tie Tang had already anticipated this, and immediately choosing to return to Qingshui City was one of the safe choices he made.
At least here, he has the final say.
"Don't worry, brother, I have a plan in mind. Now my new disciple has not yet started. I have to wait for him to enter my door and establish a firm foothold before I choose to retreat for a while.
In addition.
I have one more thing to ask of you, brother."
Seeing that his expression suddenly became serious, Fang Lexian knew that it was not a trivial matter, so he deliberately walked over and said softly: "Brother, it's okay to just say it!"
Tie Tang's eyes brightened and he said slowly: "I want some information about the Yu family that the Fang family has! Especially the women in the Yu family who have lived for more than tens of thousands of years."
"This..."
Fang Lexian was stunned for a moment, not expecting Tie Tang to make this request.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it, brother. With my position in the Fang family, I can't grasp this kind of confidential information.
As for the immortals in the Yu family who have lived for tens of thousands of years...
That is the secret among secrets!
I estimate that the clan may not have an accurate number, at most there are only some rough records.
Tens of thousands of years~
It’s been too long, really too long.
Tens of thousands of years are enough time for the sea to turn into mulberry fields, and anything can happen. Except for those immortal gods who have been living in the world, who can accurately know what happened?"
