Six hundred and sixtieth chapters on the virtual Taoist
It was a dark and windy night, and there was a remote mountain village in the Cangye Mountains, a hundred miles northwest of Gaocang City. The whole village only had a dozen thatched houses, shrouded in the night, and there were some hunters who lived there. At this time, a wooden boat
It flew over and landed in the fenced yard of a thatched house at the east end of the village.
A person got off the wooden boat, and it was Meng Shengming. Five days ago, Meng Shengming asked his uncle Changshan Taoist for leave in the name of delivering goods to Fu Xue Store. He left Gaoyang City that night and came to this small village in the mountains because
We need to take action on the four boxes of raw Yin Stone that were smuggled out of the Ghost Forest.
"Squeak!" The oil lamp lit up in the thatched house, the wooden door opened from the inside, and a hunchbacked old woman walked out with a kind smile on her face, leaning on a wooden crutch, limping toward the canoe.
"Old lady, I haven't seen my fellow Taoist here for more than half a year. Is it a long time since this time?" The old woman glanced at the various goods piled on the canoe and said with a smile.
"Some things have been delayed. This time it's four boxes." Meng Shengming replied expressionlessly, using the Art of Controlling Objects, controlling four "Lingka Mine Boxes" to fly out from the bottom of the wooden boat and land steadily on the ground.
This village is a secret meeting point at the entrance of Gaocang Hall of Samsara Hall.
Meng Shengming joined the Samsara Palace when he was still in the qi training stage. Now he is a six-star Samsara Dead Attendant. He comes to this small mountain village every time he wants to buy raw Yin Stone.
After the last war between the northern and southern sects, most of the Samsara Palace's strongholds in Yunzhou had been evacuated or destroyed by the three sects, leaving only a few secret strongholds, which were extremely deep.
"The price is still the same, what do you want to exchange for this time, fellow Taoist!" The old woman clapped her hands, and two reincarnation guards with devil masks immediately ran out of the thatched house and carried the "Lingjiao Mine Box" on the ground into the thatched house.
The old woman asked calmly, obviously this kind of transaction is commonplace.
"It's all written down above!" Meng Shengming took out a souvenir and handed it over and said.
"Then just like before, fellow Taoist just wait in the Talisman Blood Store in the city. The things will be delivered to fellow Taoist within three days." The old woman took the letter and nodded.
"Then it's time to work!" Meng Shengming said no more, jumped on the canoe, immediately took off into the sky, turned into a spiritual light and flew towards Gaocang City.
Meng Shengming believed in the reputation of the Reincarnation Hall and was not afraid of things being swallowed up. This has always been the case for the Yinshi raw mines in recent years. The payment comes first and the Reincarnation Hall has never given out a piece of spiritual stone.
…
"Ancestor, you are here!" After a meal, Meng Shengming flew to a talisman blood shop originally opened by the He family in Gaocang City, now a talisman blood shop of the Meng family. The wooden boat was parked in the backyard of the shop, and several waiters
A dozen barrels of "lingji vats" filled with Gaoyang donkey blood and some groceries carried on the wooden boat are being moved into the warehouse.
"How has the business been in the store these past two months?" After unloading the things and putting away the canoe, Meng Shengming came to the store in front of the courtyard and asked Meng Qiu, the middle-aged owner of the store.
"Ancestor, we have almost sold out the talisman blood in the store. We are waiting for you to send it from Gaoyang City, ancestor. We also sold some magic talismans, but not much. All the income in the store has been recorded above."
Meng Qiu said respectfully and handed over the account book. Although his ancestor looked like he was middle-aged, in fact, his ancestor was nearly two hundred years old. The prosperity of the Meng family is all due to his ancestor for so many years.
Hard work.
"Well!" Meng Shengming looked through it quickly. After two months, the store had made less than 50,000 yuan. The main profit point was the sale of talisman blood. The talismans he drew and sold in the store were still old
It looks like I can’t sell a few copies in a day and earn a few spiritual stones.
First of all, this market in Gaocang City is not large in scale, and most of its customers are children of small and medium-sized families, or poor and scattered practitioners who do not have much money.
Secondly, he himself is not very skilled in talismans. He can only draw a fourth-grade talisman "Qi Shield Talisman" at the highest level. The quality and success rate of talismans at each level are not high, so naturally he cannot sell them.
Good price.
With just this amount of revenue, he was not even able to pay for the elixirs needed to sustain his rapid cultivation, let alone support the entire Meng family. There are now nearly twenty cultivators in the Meng family.
Count on this small cultivator family.
Meng Shengming went into seclusion to build the foundation before opening one mansion. One hundred and thirty years have passed, and now he has cultivated to the fourth mansion. If he only relies on this spiritual stone to cultivate, even if his life span is exhausted, it will be difficult to build one.
Late stage.
Not to mention overcoming the tribulation and condensing the elixir, which is why Meng Shengming took the risk and teamed up with Shangxu and Qiuji to secretly sell the Yin Stone.
You must know that stealing and selling Yin Stone is not a trivial matter. If the sect discovers such a way of harming the public and enriching private interests, the consequences will be disastrous. Abolition of cultivation and expulsion from the sect is considered a light thing. It is normal to be imprisoned and beheaded.
, regarded as a desperate move.
"If Shopkeeper Cai comes to the store these days, please ask him to come to the backyard." Meng Shengming frowned and put down the account book, turned around and returned to the backyard residence, and did not forget to ask.
"Shopkeeper Cai is here, and Meng Qiu immediately invited him to the ancestral house." Meng Qiu immediately nodded and replied.
The shopkeeper Cai mentioned by the ancestor is the shopkeeper of a grocery store called "Dafengtang" in Fangshi. He and the ancestor should be good friends. Only when the ancestor is in the store, he will occasionally visit the store and sometimes take care of him.
In-store business.
…
"Grandpa, Senior Junshan should be back soon!" In the house of Taoist Xu on the Wei Suoying Fortress, his grandson Puchu and his fourth disciple Wang Qingchi were drinking tea and chatting. Puchu asked cautiously. p>
"Counting the days, we will be back soon. Chu'er, what do you want from Junior Brother Junshan?" Taoist Shangxu took a sip of tea and said casually.
"It's nothing, I just ran out of elixirs." Pu Chu replied with some embarrassment. The reselling of Yin Stone had stopped for more than half a year. The elixirs on his body were gone long ago. Originally, they would be smuggled in every other month or two
If a batch of Yin Stones are released, they can all get some elixirs for practice.
"Hmph!" Taoist Shangxu snorted, a useless thing.
"Master, I have something to report!" Wang Qingchi thought of something, his face froze, and he suddenly said.
"What's the matter?" Taoist Shangxu asked with a frown.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"The day before yesterday, Senior Brother Chu went to meet with Senior Qiuji and when he was transporting the ore, he happened to meet Senior Uncle Xuanting coming to inspect. Senior Brother Chu was not seen during the inspection, and he asked where he was going." Wang Qingchi said in a deep voice.
"Oh! There is another matter, Qingchi, how did you return and the specific situation at that time, please tell me carefully." Taoist Shangxu's face suddenly changed and he asked immediately.
"Master, don't worry. I have excused Senior Brother Chu from going hunting in the forest," Wang Qingchi said hurriedly.
"That's good, Qingchi, what do you think about this matter? Is it a coincidence? Or is it intentional?" Taoist Shangxu asked with a solemn face.
"Disciple thinks it's a coincidence! If it was intentional or if he knew something, he wouldn't ask the disciple directly, and afterwards, he didn't see any other actions in the past half month." Wang Qingchi had been thinking about this for a while and replied.
.
"However, this person is more concerned than before taking office. He must personally inspect the Ghost Forest Defense Line every day. Especially during the half month when Master Tai Xiong left, he even inspected it several times in one day. If this continues, maybe
This person will be aware of it, which is a big hidden danger." Wang Qingchi continued in a serious tone.
"What we do secretly, what can he detect?" Pu Chu said disdainfully.
Hasn't it always been like this for so many years, and nothing has gone wrong? The newly appointed Dutou Xuanting, although he wears a cold iron mask all day long, but when he comes into contact, he is actually a good old man, and he can't see anything wrong with it.
Hidden danger.
"What do you know! Qingchi, do you have any countermeasures?" Taoist Shangxu's face was extremely ugly. He first glared at Pu Chu angrily, and then asked.
The fourth disciple, Wang Qingchi, has always been thoughtful, and since he raised this matter, he already had a countermeasure.
"Disciple has been thinking about it for several days and has indeed come up with some arrangements. By the way, two members of the third team will be serving their terms in the next few days. Does senior brother know?" Wang Qingchi said slowly.
"It's natural. We didn't even mention this at the morning meeting yesterday. We also wanted to transfer one person from the first team and our team to the third team." Pu Chu nodded and replied.
"Usually, we form a group with the second team, and the first team and the third team form a team, and they take turns to garrison. Why not take the opportunity to transfer my brother Wang Chen from our team to the third team to act as eyes and ears. After we go to the ghost forest to garrison, we will stay
Wang Chen is monitoring the whereabouts of Dutou in the camp."
"Especially on the day when senior brother goes to the Ghost Forest to transport the ore, we must pay close attention to the movements of Dutou. As soon as Dutou leaves the camp, he will notify us in advance. In this way, we will not be in danger of being killed as happened a few days ago.
What happened to this person?" Wang Qingchi said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
"This arrangement is very good!" Taoist Shangxu immediately agreed and said that the matter of stealing and selling Yin Stone was of great importance, so he had to be careful. Naturally, the fewer people knew about this matter, the better.
But one and two people couldn't handle this, so over the years, Taoist Shangxu slowly arranged for some of his own people, tribesmen or disciples to join the mining team and the defense team.
Pu Le, a Taoist from Shangxu, is a native of Gaocang. He has the water system of heavenly spiritual roots and has superior natural talents. Before the foundation was established, he had to be cultivated by the whole family. However, the Pu family is only a small family, and after the foundation is established, he will not be able to get help from the family. p>
He can only rely on himself. In addition to taking care of his own cultivation, he also needs to support his family. This makes Pu Le very stretched. He is short of spiritual stones, so he has to take on some tedious sect tasks.
When he came to work at the Tianshi Guard Office, he was initially interested in the generous job salary. He also served as the Kailing Deacon at Gaoyang Taoist Temple and was familiar with this area of Gaoyang City.
Who would have known that the conditions at Tianshi Health Center were so bad, and the salary from the job was not enough for my daily practice.
In the past few years, Pu Le had been regretting every day. If he had known better, he would have stayed in the sect and practiced hard. With the rich aura of the sect, he could still barely maintain his practice.
As a result, it was inevitable that he would often share his grievances with his junior brother Meng Shengming, whom he had known since his early years. One day when he was complaining to Meng Shengming, Meng Shengming vaguely suggested to him the idea of secretly selling Yinshi raw ore, saying that he had the means to do it.
.
Pu Le refused at first without even thinking about it, but he was spending time in the guard house and his cultivation was not making progress, so he only persisted for two years before finally agreeing to the matter.
They also attracted the ghost Xiu Qiuji, who had the same disease, and the three of them took advantage of their positions to start reselling the raw Yin stone. Shangxu and Qiuji were responsible for mining and transporting the raw Yin stone out of the ghost forest, while Meng Shengming was responsible for selling the raw materials.
I have never failed during this period, and it continues to this day.
