Today's Mingfeng Town is not comparable to what it used to be. Before the Chen family settled in Yunluo Mountain, Mingfeng Town was just a larger town within a hundred miles of territory, with only a few thousand people in the entire town.
Apart from being close to Yunluo Mountain, a spiritual mountain blessing, it has no other more obvious advantages.
Its transformation began with the arrival of people from Yunluo Mountain. After the arrival of the Chen family, the entire town underwent earth-shaking changes. Especially more than ten years ago, the method of tea tree planting was passed down from Yunluo Mountain.
After the people had enough food and clothing, they took another important step and basically reached the level of moderate prosperity.
Moreover, after experiencing severe storms and floods, six nearby towns merged into one and became the new Mingfeng Town. At that time, Mingfeng Town had already expanded five to six times its original size.
many.
Unexpectedly, in less than ten years, Yunluoshan would once again expand the jurisdiction of Mingfeng Town. Not only that, they also planned to build city walls and fortresses around Mingfeng Town.
This is a big deal. In the understanding of the people of Mingfeng Town, only places like Wushifang City where immortal masters gather can have such treatment. They are extremely satisfied with their current lives and simply cannot
I don't dare to think about that.
In their view, as long as they have city walls and fortresses, they no longer have to fear the storms and floods of a few years ago. Their personal and property safety will be more secure.
The person who made this important decision was Chen Guanghuan, who was ostensibly responsible for keeping things at home. In fact, it came from an idea that Chen Yongnuo had mentioned before. But in this special period, Guanghuan put it into reality.
That’s all.
In Chen Yongnuo's vision, Mingfeng Town is not just a place for mortals to live. It is the first line of defense of Yunluo Mountain, serving as a defense and warning.
Especially in times of turmoil or demonic calamity, its function is particularly important. Coupled with the opening of the University Hall, a talent reserve has been accumulated for more than ten years, almost hundreds or thousands of low-level monks. They screwed
After forming a rope, the effect it can exert is extremely powerful. At least when facing demonic cultivators in the virtual stage and below, they can protect themselves without the need for Yunluo Mountain to send additional guards.
Of course, if it is a demonic cultivator above the Golden Core realm, these arrangements will definitely have no effect. If the demonic cultivator can still have some spare power to deal with Mingfeng Town when attacking Yunluo Mountain, it is very likely that Yunluo will
Luoshan cannot protect itself. However, such opportunities should be relatively rare, so Mingfeng Town is still safe enough.
…
As early as more than ten years ago, a small group of rangers appeared in Baiyang. These rangers did not have a fixed residence and traveled around. Most of them had practiced some sword moves and had martial arts skills.
Sometimes he also acts as a salesman or a merchant.
A few years ago, they learned the name of Mingfeng Town and knew that behind it was Yunluo Mountain. The reason why they knew this was actually from a drink called tea.
These rangers travel everywhere and have much better knowledge than ordinary mortals. They learned that a very popular product has appeared on the market, which is unique to Yunluo Mountain.
Therefore, they tried every means to find out where Yunluo Mountain was, and even came to Mingfeng Town. After arriving here, they saw that there were tea trees of all sizes.
At the same time, they also learned that the output of these tea trees was attributed to Yunluo Mountain. Not to mention eating meat, they could not even drink soup.
Among them, there are some clever rangers who want to fool the tea farmers here and let them sell some of the young tea leaves to themselves. At that time, he only needs to dry them and sell them as tea leaves. However, these tea farmers are all
I cherish the good days now so much that I am not willing to do something that would anger Yun Luoshan just for a small profit.
It is true that Yunluoshan treats them well, but this is all on the premise that they behave obediently. If they dare to commit crimes and commit crimes, the following will be punished, not to mention the great immortals of Yunluoshan, and the minor immortals in the school.
If you are not a vegetarian, the punishment will be harsher than anything else.
In this atmosphere, the strategies of these knights were naturally unworkable. Later, they used their brains again. Since the young leaves of the tea tree could not reach them, what about the old leaves on the tree?
They secretly picked some leaves to test. After many attempts, they found that these old leaves had a unique flavor after being dried in the sun, stored for a period of time, and brewed in boiling water. In addition to their slightly bitter taste,
It is almost the same as the tea sold on the market.
This discovery made You Xiaer overjoyed. They started by collecting a small amount of old leaves, then slowly dried them, and shipped the finished products to other places for sale, and achieved great success.
However, after all, they were not monks and could not monopolize this kind of privacy. Later, more and more rangers knew about this matter, and they also came to Mingfeng Town to look for business opportunities, and things got out of hand.
Later, this incident must have alarmed Yunluoshan. Just when the tea farmers were trembling, thinking that they would be punished by Yunluoshan, after some discussions, Yunluoshan decided not to hold all parties responsible for the time being. However, since then,
Immediately, some laws were promulgated on the mountain, which strictly limited the amount of old leaves picked from each tea tree without affecting the yield of young leaves, and there were also some related punishment regulations.
For this reason, Chen Guanghuan was quite puzzled at the time and went to ask Chen Yongnuo specifically. At that time, Chen Yongnuo said to him: "In your opinion, this incident must have both disadvantages and disadvantages."
The advantages far infringe our interests. However, in my opinion, the advantages actually far outweigh the disadvantages. Let’s first talk about the disadvantages you think. You undoubtedly feel that these businessmen have stolen our business opportunities and made our
The interests are damaged."
"Actually, this is not how the account is calculated. Of course, we can drive them all away, and the business will be done by us, and the proceeds will be ours. However, we cannot just see the things in front of us.
Small profits. First, we should take a longer-term view. If you look at our current monthly income, most of the income comes from Lingcha. Secondly, our tea is aimed at Xiancheng and
Customers from major markets, and merchants basically roam in various small towns, so there is little overlap between sellers on the two sides. Thirdly, with these merchants traveling around, is it possible?
More and more people know the name of Yunluoshan tea."
"Besides, I don't know if you have ever tasted their tea. The processing of their tea leaves is extremely crude and crude, and it is far less delicious than our tea leaves. As long as you drink our own tea leaves, whether you drink it first or last, I'm afraid it will be more
Find out the difference between the two."
"So, do you think we need to ban them?"
Chen Yongnuo's words made Guang Huan convinced and admired. After what he said, this matter turned out to be a huge benefit.
In fact, Chen Yongnuo originally wanted to talk about some advertising effects or some views on business management. However, after thinking about it, he still felt that he should not instill so much at once. If Yunluoshan wants to make the tea industry bigger and stronger
If it is not limited to the Baiyang boundary, then this kind of thing is bound to happen.
Even if this incident hadn't happened, he would have facilitated it once he had time.
These things actually happened a few years ago. It was precisely because of this incident that Chen Yongnuo talked about the planning of Mingfeng Town, which was firmly remembered by Guang Huan.
As Chen Yongnuo predicted, the reputation of their Yunluo Mountain tea has become more and more popular in the past few years, so that more and more merchants will come to Mingfeng Town, making this place more and more popular.
Prosperity.
Therefore, Guang Huan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make arrangements to resist the demonic calamity and further improve the protective power of Mingfeng Town.
At the same time, the difficulty of their defense has also become more difficult. For example, they must always guard against the infiltration of some low-level demon cultivator disciples or evil sect disciples.
At the beginning of the demonic tribulation, it is usually some temptations and attacks by low-level disciples to disrupt the judgments of major families and sects. Even if Mingfeng Town has no previous experience, it will be targeted. This is
There is no way to escape. Unless Mingfeng Town directly closes all the formation exits and reopens them until the end of the calamity. However, such an operation is extremely unrealistic. How can hundreds of thousands of people eat, drink and have diarrhea?
So easy to handle.
Moreover, there are some meanings behind the occurrence of demonic tribulations, which cannot be overcome by simply avoiding them.
While Guang Huan was directing the tribesmen to carry out fortification defense, he also arranged for some disciples with level 4 or higher spiritual light to guard the entrance of the formation.
Their task is to screen the identities of all people entering and exiting to prevent other people with ulterior motives from getting in.
Nowadays, the population of Mingfeng Town is not just a few thousand people as before. As long as someone creates some disturbances inside, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The common people are the cornerstone of the monks and cannot be lost. Moreover, as the actual rulers of Yunluo Mountain, the Chen family naturally has to protect the people and creatures within their jurisdiction.
On this day, the two people on duty were Chen Guangyin and Chen Miaotong. Guangyin was already in his early twenties and had a cultivation level of the fifth level of spiritual light. Miaotong was under twenty years old and had just been promoted to the fourth level of spiritual light. He was not far away from them.
In the distance, a spiritual crane was quietly hiding there.
Guangyin would look in the direction of Linghe from time to time. His behavior made Miaotong extremely dissatisfied.
"Uncle Thirteen, don't keep looking over there. If you do this, won't others know there's something going on there? Besides, Uncle Linghe was sent to protect us." Miao Tong took advantage of this moment to come and go.
There were relatively few people, so he murmured quietly.
Guangyin glanced over here and said nonchalantly: "Don't be so nervous. Our side is the hinterland of Baiyang Realm, far from the Bishui side. If even our side can sneak in the devil,
, other places cannot be what they are.”
After he finished speaking, he lowered his voice and continued: "I went to Fangshi for a walk a few days ago, and it was not the same as usual there. Look, the Thirty-Two Cave Lingshan Mountain with a radius of five thousand miles is
We're the only ones making a fuss."
"Uncle Thirteen, you actually dare to go to Fangshi privately. If you really treat me as an uncle (Guang Huan), you will have nothing to lose. If he finds out, you will probably have to walk around without food." Miao Tong glanced left and right.
, said quietly.
"Who said I went there privately? Don't talk nonsense. I still remember what happened to Third Sister (Guang Yin). I wouldn't even dare to give me ten more courages. You didn't see that Uncle Fifth (Yong Peng) didn't know what happened until a few years ago.
, His ten-year grounding has just ended." Guangyin quickly clarified and explained. When his third sister had an accident, they were still young children and did not know what happened at that time. However, the consequences of that incident
, it is still deeply affected to this day.
It's okay for them to have little fights in Yunluo Mountain, but if it comes to family rules and training, it's no joke. Even the most careless clan members have to think twice.
Ever since Yong Jing went to Bishui, the Yunluo Mountain area has become tense. All monks with cultivation base are not allowed to act alone. If you want to get out of the mountain protection formation, you must inform Yong Peng
There. If you really knowingly offend, the lightest thing you can do is to be grounded, and you have to go to the Feng Cave to be punished.
The wind blowing from the wind cave is sharper than a bone scraper, and it is extremely cold. A young monk like him in the spiritual light stage just stands at the wind outlet of the wind cave and lets the dark wind blow a stick of incense, half of his body
They were all stiff. Afterwards, it was as if the soul had been taken away from the whole body, and it took half a month of rest to regain its strength.
When he thought of that feeling, Guangyin shivered all over and was so scared. He thought for a moment and said, "Do you think Brother Six (Guang Luo) can advance successfully this time?"
Miaotong frowned and said: "I dare not say nonsense. Fifth Aunt (Guang Lu) has better qualifications than Sixth Uncle, but she seems to have only condensed a low-grade Taoist body. Sixth Uncle's matter is really
It’s hard to say! However, Uncle Six must have learned a lot after staying with Third Grandpa (Chen Yongnuo) for so long. So, it’s really hard to say. Oh, I envy Uncle Six. If only I could follow Grandpa Three
How nice it would be to practice by your side!"
"You? It's better not to daydream. Nineteenth brother has such good qualifications and has no chance. Let alone you." Guangyin curled his lips and mocked mercilessly.
At a three-way intersection hundreds of miles away, there were two or three groups of caravans traveling from north to south. Their destination this time was Mingfeng Town in Yunluo Mountain.
When they were about to pass this intersection, several migratory locusts flew down from the barren mountains. Different from ordinary migratory locusts, their colors were brighter and their individuals were larger. They flew for a while.
, falling directly on the roof of the caravan's carriage.
After they settled down, there were actually two people talking in a cave on the mountain.
"Uncle Master, I went there to check it out a few days ago. They took extremely tight precautions. Do you think our pestilent flying insects can get inside?"
"Well, if we want to collect enough plague energy this time, we can only go to places with many people. Mingfeng Town is the largest within a radius of five thousand miles, so we have to try it no matter what. If, really
