After the alliance of the six sects, dozens of state capitals in the northeastern part of the former Great Zhou Dynasty were officially assigned to the Demon Realm. The Yanjing Mansion, which was originally closest to the Demon Realm, was naturally included in it.
The three major forces in the Demon Realm have a tacit understanding for a long time. They still divide the current area of the Demon Realm in the order of the Anti-Tian Alliance, the Tian Can Sect, and the Great Freedom Palace. The area closest to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is allocated to the Anti-Tian Alliance; the middle
The area was allocated to the Tiancan Sect; the areas of Yanjing Mansion and the original Demon Domain were allocated to the Great Freedom Palace.
You Wuji and Qian Dan led the observation delegation. After leaving Yongzhou, they took the flying boat donated by Qian Dan. The first stop was the city of Yanjing, where the Yanjing government office is located.
During this trip, You Wuji and Qian Dan both kept a relatively low profile. They were far away from Yanjing City, so they put away their flying boats. When they got closer, they slowed down even more and reported the information of the Yongzhou Mission to the demon cultivator on the tower.
Name.
Soon, the city gate opened, and a group of people waited in. However, no demon cultivator came to contact them, and it was like air.
You Wuji shook his head and said to Qian Dan, "Like this, not to mention Wuxu's reputation, it will make people look down upon me if we gain a foothold in the capital in the future."
Qian Dan nodded and held out an exquisite lamp with eight sides. Under the light, there were four characters "Yongzhou Mission" in all directions, with different colors and gradual flashing lights. It was very ostentatious. Suddenly, it attracted many gazes and pointing points from passers-by.
, with different expressions.
You Wuji and Qian Dan didn't mind at all. They just ordered to go down and told everyone to be serious. Then they walked all the way, chose the largest inn in the city, and checked in.
At this time, a demon cultivator came over and handed over an invitation with a arrogant expression. He said that the city lord had an invitation tonight, and left immediately. The invitation was also very rude, only two envoys and deputy envoys were invited.
.
After reading the invitation, You Wuji smiled instead of being angry, and handed it to Qian Dan, "The current master of Yanjing Palace seems to be a man named Cheng Quan from the Da Zi Zai Palace. I am a little tired, you can go and meet him."
yes."
Qian Dan took the invitation, flicked it with the little finger of his right hand, and chuckled, "This man named Cheng Quan, I know a lot about it. Previously, he was just a true spiritual monk with no position and power in the Great Freedom Palace. He was good at growing up.
Now that the magic sound technique suddenly arises, someone needs to give it a brief lesson."
That night, Qian Dan specially changed into a fancy dress, put on heavy makeup, and went to the appointment alone. Within a moment, the magic sound started and spread throughout the city.
When I first heard it, I felt like a peerless beauty singing so brightly that it soared into the sky. Then it became tactful, her voice was slow, her voice was choked and low, and she was sobbing like she was complaining, as if she was rising from the blue and falling into the underworld. In the end, it was like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.
The next day, early in the morning, the city gate opened wide, and Qian Dan took the Yongzhou envoy and drifted away without making a sound. The monks in the city were stunned and whispered.
A few days later, three monks who looked like demons but not demons came to Yanjing. When they heard about this, the three of them laughed. When passers-by looked at them, the three of them found the inn where the Yongzhou delegation had stayed.
, settled down in a swaggering manner.
Not long after, there was a group of demon cultivators from the Yanjing Mansion, wearing dark stiff uniforms, patrolling the guests, and ordering all restrictions to be opened. The people in the inn naturally knew that this group of demon cultivators were the seven masters in the government office.
Not daring to disobey, they then swaggered into the small courtyard where the three of them lived.
After entering, everything was quiet. Perhaps the people in the courtyard had temporarily arranged a barrier. After a while, the group of seven people still retreated proudly, unscathed. As they walked outside the inn, they each muttered,
"Ward rounds!"
"Where did you come from—?"
"Want to bribe me?"
"Well, would you like to have dinner tonight? The Yanjing Inn's duck feet with distiller's grains and steamed peppercorn ribs are pretty good..."
At this time, a group of people who were watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously noticed something strange and became excited. However, no one dared to "disturbed" these seven people easily. Just like that, they followed them out of the inn.
The same is true for these seven people walking on the street.
The leader would shout, "Ward round!" every once in a while, and every time, his expression and tone would be different.
The same goes for the few people behind.
"Where are your credentials?"
"You want to send us away with a thousand spiritual stones?"
The best thing is that the demon cultivator who said "please have dinner tonight" would announce one or two different names of dishes every time, and by the end his laughter was flowing out.
Finally, someone had the courage to try to wake them up, and was immediately attacked by the seven men.
"It turns out they are a group of wandering monks!"
"Just these broken spirit stones!"
"How dare you insult the Lord of the City?!"
"Look at the knife!"
The man was beaten until he was pissed, and he ran away.
On the contrary, these seven people seemed to be stimulated, their momentum increased to the extreme, some of their hairs stood on end, and their voices became louder.
The demon cultivators patrolling nearby came in a hurry. They were no match for these seven people and could not stop them. When they saw this, they did not dare to provoke them, so they just followed them all the way.
The seven people ran all the way and soon arrived in front of the Yanjing government office.
"Ward rounds!" The leader shouted arrogantly at the gate of the government office, his voice like a bell.
At this time, an old man in black robe flew out and roared.
The seven people's expressions froze and their bodies paused under the roar.
Then they saw the old man in black robe raise his right hand, and seven piano wires flew out from his sleeves and robes, touching the foreheads and between the eyebrows of the seven people respectively, and then his left finger flicked the seven piano wires as fast as lightning. This
The expressions of the seven people changed again and again, like being intoxicated. Their auras immediately relaxed, their bodies softened, and they all fell to the ground.
The old man in black robe tightened his right hand and collected the seven people. He waved his left hand again, sending up a cloud of mist and then flew away.
A moment later, the old man in black robe stood in the pavilion of a small courtyard of Yanjing Inn, and respectfully saluted a pockmarked woman, "It turns out that it's Senior Sister Yu who is here. My disciples are blind and don't recognize Mount Tai."
, I hope senior sister won’t be surprised.”
This pockmarked woman is none other than Fairy Yu.
Fairy Yu showed her true face and smiled slightly at the old man in black robe, "Junior brother Cheng, I'm serious, please sit down and talk for a while." After saying that, she took out another jade bottle and said, "This is the antidote to the illusion of great freedom."
This Junior Brother Cheng is Cheng Quan, the Master of the Yanjing Mansion. After he sat down, he said thoughtfully, "Ever since I learned that Senior Sister Yu is living in Yongzhou, I have always wanted to visit, but unfortunately, there have been sudden changes and I can't get away. The days before yesterday
, I learned that the Yongzhou delegation was passing by, and one of the leaders was a woman. I thought it was Senior Sister Yu who came, but unexpectedly there was another misunderstanding."
"Since it is a misunderstanding, there is no need to mention it again." Fairy Yu said with a smile, "Junior Brother Cheng has been appointed as the head of Yanjing Mansion, which is really gratifying. During the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yongzhou was subordinate to Yanjing Mansion; now, Yongzhou has become independent.
You need to be taken care of by the Yanjing Mansion. Junior Brother Cheng, you might as well come to Yongzhou some other time."
Cheng Quan repeatedly agreed and invited Fairy Yu and three others to have a banquet at the government office tonight. Fairy Yu politely declined, saying that she was coming out quietly and it was not appropriate to appear in public. The two talked for a while, and then Cheng Quan stood up to leave.
.
After he left, Wuxu and Li Mingshan came out.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. Today, a true spirit monk like Cheng Quan is considered a prince." Li Mingshan couldn't help but sigh.
Cheng Quan's cultivation realm is only the fourth level of the True Spirit. Back in the Great Zhou Dynasty, for a position like the head of the Yanjing Mansion, one would have to have at least reached the late True Spirit stage, that is, the level of the sixth level and above. Nowadays,
, Wuxu is also at the fifth level of true spirit.
Wuxu looked in the direction of Yanjing Mansion Office and sighed, "He should have guessed our identities, but he never took the initiative to mention us. Obviously, he was quite worried. Of course, maybe it was because of Fairy Yu's greatness this time.
Showing his magical powers, he lost face and did not want to meet outsiders under such circumstances."
"First," Fairy Yu shook her head, "Second, Yongzhou was originally just a city under the jurisdiction of the Yanjing Prefecture, but now it has become independent, and it is also tied with the six sects, and each has its own envoys to Beijing. I think
He probably doesn’t know how to formally meet with us.”
Wuxu suddenly understood and nodded thoughtfully, "So, I will be more stealthy and guerrilla on the next journey."
The three of them smiled and flew away, leaving Yanjing Mansion.
...
You Wuji and Qian Dan led the Yongzhou envoy, using their signboards, and traveled all the way, passing through several state capitals. As expected, the local officials did not send anyone to greet them. However, they would not completely reject them.
Pay no attention to it, some people will send people to send invitations, and they don’t say that they will invite the chief and deputy officials of the envoys to the banquet.
The envoys only said that a banquet with two Taoist friends, You Wuji and Qian Dan, was considered a true spiritual gathering; some would invite local reputable people to find an excuse, such as peach blossoms blooming somewhere, or the birthday of an old mother at home, etc., to host a banquet.
Then the person in charge will come out and take the opportunity to meet informally.
In this way, You Wuji and Qian Dan also understood that they could no longer argue with each other as they did in Yanjing Mansion. After all, this actually fundamentally involves the relationship between the Six Sects and Yongzhou. Only Yongzhou has truly become the relationship with the Six Sects.
At the same level, they were respected and recognized by all the sects. Only then did the people in charge of these places have clear regulations to entertain the envoys from Yongzhou.
Wuxu also sent a message to You Wuji and Qian Dan, thinking that this was all right.
You Wuji immediately received a reply, but it was to ask Wuxu. Along the way, someone occasionally mentioned that they wanted to see the Yongzhou Mission. To put it bluntly, they wanted to find someone to compete with the members of the mission. Previously, they had all stopped them.
, and always avoid asking if this will happen later.
Wuxu couldn't help but smile bitterly. This is really contradictory. The more this happens, the more he will be underestimated. But Wuxu is really not sure about the strength of the members of the mission. After thinking about it, he replied to You Wuji, regardless of whether there is any
If you have a chance of winning, you should avoid it as much as possible. Don't speed up your journey. When you get to the capital, there may be an unavoidable battle.
You Wuji finally replied, three words, "I got it." His tone was a little impatient and a little angry.
Later, he and Qian Dan, with their envoys, indeed sped up their journey. The flying boat sped forward, its speed increased several times, and they skipped the small place and only rested at the government office. This attracted Wu Xu, who did not have a flying magic weapon.
The three of them chased after each other.
In this way, after passing through the new Tiancan Sect territory, we arrived at the new Defiant Alliance territory. The first state capital was Taiyuan Prefecture.
On this day, at dusk, a silver-white flying boat flew across the sky and landed outside Taiyuan City like a shooting star.
The guard on the tower suddenly laughed, "This must be the Yongzhou envoy who swaggers through the city and travels three thousand miles a day. If you don't believe me, make a bet."
You Wuji and Qian Dan walked out of the flying boat. Then Qian Dan put away the flying boat, flew low on the clouds, came to the city gate, waved his sleeves, rewarded some spiritual stones, and then entered the city.
Everyone on the tower and below the tower were dumbfounded because they did not see the legendary colorful and moving signboards from all directions, let alone the members of the mission behind them. It was possible that they were intercepted and killed, leaving only the chief and deputy missionaries.
Long? But judging from his expression, he definitely isn’t.
"Oh! I understand!" A demon cultivator from the Heaven Defying Alliance suddenly shouted, "We in Taiyuan Prefecture have outstanding people. They must be afraid that someone will come to their mission to discuss matters, so they simply put away the signs and the people.
.”
The demon cultivator next to him wanted to talk, but You Wuji and Qian Dan had already walked away gracefully.
At nightfall, You Wuji and Qian Dan came out of the largest inn in Taiyuan Prefecture. After a while, they entered the largest trading house in Taiyuan Prefecture. They shopped for a little more than an hour and bought a large number of elixirs and some elixirs.
Real person level spiritual weapon, and then just give up.
When they returned to the inn, the shopkeeper, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted them with a smile and handed the two invitations to You Wuji and Qian Dan respectively.
You Wuji took the invitation arrogantly, opened it, glanced at it, and then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is this Cao Jiyun?"
The innkeeper hurriedly replied, "Fire Flame Golden Finger Cao Jiyun is the younger brother of our palace master, Minghuo Lingjun Cao Siyuan. He usually likes to make friends with wealthy people from all over the world."
In the living room of the small courtyard, You Wuji and Qian Dan sat down separately, and just then snorted, "I'm getting more and more upset. I'll just find a cat or a dog and leave an invitation at the inn. The time will be noon the day after tomorrow."
As we all know, along the way, the envoys led by You Wuji and Qian Dan never stayed in one place for more than two days.
Qian Dan sat there with his eyes closed as if concentrating. After a while, he slowly said, "It's so despising. I'm afraid that if you gain a foothold in the capital in the future, a lot of things will happen for no reason."
You Wuji nodded and suddenly smiled, "Those little kids must have entered the door as well. Let's practice some more in the next two days, and then go meet the heroes of Taiyuan Prefecture at noon the next day."
Qian Dan heard what You Wuji said, opened his eyes and smiled, flicked his long sleeves, and the flying boat was suspended in the air. Then, each figure fell down from the flying boat like dumplings. They were all members of the Yongzhou mission, and they all looked haggard.
The eyes are also a little wandering.
For a moment, the spacious living room seemed cramped.
You Wuji glanced at it and said, "There may be a competition at noon the day after tomorrow. How are you doing with the two techniques taught to you?"
"Elder He and I bought some elixirs and spiritual weapons, and we are going to use half of them to restore everyone's physical strength and enhance their strength, and half of them to use as rewards afterwards." Qian Dan said as he flew his sleeves and flew.
Many bottles and boxes appeared, vaguely filled with spiritual energy.
These members of the mission suddenly raised their heads and stared straight ahead.
Qian Dan smiled charmingly, "But the ugly words are ahead. If you lose in the future, not only will there be no reward..." At this point, she flicked the index finger of her right hand, and all the bottles and boxes suspended in the air were automatically opened.
The elixirs and short spiritual weapons of different shapes are particularly eye-catching in the thin spiritual mist.
These members of the mission are young, their cultivation level is not high, and most of them have never seen much of the world. In this situation, every one of them seems to have been given a shot of blood.
Immediately, Niu Er stepped forward and said loudly, "I'm so grateful to you two seniors for caring so much. Please rest assured, seniors, I've been practicing the Blood Burning Thunder Kung Fu and the Spirit Cutting Finger diligently these past few days.
, I will definitely not disappoint the two seniors.,”
Immediately afterwards, Xie Lingyun also stepped forward and said, "The competition is a matter of Yongzhou's face. We will do our best."
You Wuji and Qian Dan nodded with satisfaction, and immediately distributed the elixirs and spiritual weapons according to the respective personalities of these members, and then ordered everyone to practice in public. After this, in the afternoon of the second day, everyone was ordered to
Return to the flying boat and recharge your batteries.
After another night, You Wuji and Qian Dan, with a group of people, left the inn and walked majestically on the streets of Taiyuan Mansion, heading straight to the address on the invitation, Moju Lake outside the city.
Mojutan is located fifty miles northwest of the city, with a radius of only three or four miles. The water is quiet and secluded. The surrounding rocks are mostly brown, and a kind of black chrysanthemum blooms all year round.
When You Wuji saw this place, he chuckled and whispered to Qian Dan, "It's a good place to kill people."
At this moment, noon has not yet arrived, but there are already many people sitting around the Moju Pond, talking and laughing. Seeing You Wuji and Qian Dan coming, a demon cultivator in a light yellow robe flew over to greet them.
.
This demon cultivator has a middle-aged appearance, slender eyes, slightly convex cheekbones, and slender fingers. When he saluted, they were put together to reveal a faint golden luster. He was only heard to say, "The two Taoist friends must be Yongzhou
Fellow Daoist He and Daoist Qian? My dear, Cao Jiyun, I have missed you from afar, but I still look forward to seeing you."
"It's okay, it's okay. We came here rashly and there is no etiquette. I hope fellow Taoist Cao won't be offended." You Wuji, dressed in a He Qifeng appearance, said while clasping his hands in salute.
Cao Jiyun smiled heartily and said, "You're welcome. Every year on this day in Taiyuan Prefecture, there is a custom of coming to this pond to enjoy the chrysanthemums. If you don't mind, please come down and get together." When he said this, he couldn't help but look towards You.
Wuji and Qian Dan glanced behind each other.
"It's so annoying!" Youwu said carelessly, and then he, Qian Dan, and a group of people behind them flew down towards the Moju Pond surrounded by mountains.
