Chapter eight hundred and seventy-six red refining yuan copper, the ceremony of the king of Liang
…
"You two have come from afar, so please come with me to our monastery to have a cup of tea." Xu Junming said.
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears."
He took the two of them outside Lingling City and sat down in the bamboo forest behind the central peak of the cave in Chongshan Academy.
Xu Junming served tea and spiritual fruits with thoughtful etiquette.
Zhuge Wen and Jing Chenzi exchanged glances, and the former asked.
"I have heard for a long time that Chongshan Academy established a sect in the south of the Great Chu and controlled an area of three trillion miles. Why did you two come to the Sui Dynasty to establish a sect?"
Everyone is smart, and Xu Junming understood immediately upon hearing this. This was because they were afraid that they would expand rapidly in the Sui Dynasty and harm the interests of both factions.
After a brief consideration, Xu Junming said.
"It is also a coincidence that we established a sect in Lingling County."
"I would like to hear the details." Zhuge asked.
"After Pindao received the invitation letter from the Yuntai Immortal Society, he prepared to travel while going there. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Lingling County, he heard that King Xiao Xian of Chu had handed over hundreds of millions of Lingling County people to Taiyin.
Ghost Sect."
"My Chongshan lineage is also an authentic Taoist sect, and it is our duty to eliminate demons and defend the Tao. It would be fine if we have never encountered such a tragic thing. Now that we have encountered it, of course we cannot ignore it."
"In order to protect the people here, we established our Chongshan branch here."
After a pause, his eyes swept across their faces, and Xu Junming smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, everyone. We at Chongshan Academy have no intention of provoking a conflict with the Lijiang Sword Sect and the Luofu Sect. Even if we want to expand, we will only expand to the Taiyin Ghost Sect and those small countries in the south."
Hearing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
They only care about the basics of their respective sects, and as for more spheres of influence, they cannot hold it if they occupy it. After all, Lijiang Sword Sect and Luofu Sect are not Chongshan Academy, and there are no two great Luo in charge.
After receiving Xu Junming's affirmative reply, the atmosphere among the three parties instantly relaxed.
The content of the conversation also became broader.
After some exchanges, the two said goodbye and left.
Looking at the retreating figure, the Dragon Emperor turned around.
"I'm not good at socializing. I'll leave it to you to receive all the visitors and sects during this period."
"Also, last time in the Qiankun Cave of Wuji Mountain, 50% of the Daluo Spiritual Pill you promised to refine is mine. It's time to fulfill it."
Xu Junming looked like he had a headache.
"Okay, okay, leave it all to me."
After nodding with satisfaction, the Dragon Emperor left.
Soon, Sun Shi flew over again.
"Master, Liang Wang Xiaoxian has an envoy here, and I have arranged for him to stay at the Yamen of Lingling City."
"Xiao Mian's movements are very slow. Did the envoy say anything?"
"He said that Liang Wang asked him to bring us a big gift."
"I want to see what kind of gift it is."
With one step, I arrived at Lingling City Government Office in an instant.
Since Lingling County was brought under the Chongshan Sect, all the people here have been replaced by Chongshan disciples.
As for the former county governor Zhou Shaohua, who is prepared to live and die with Lingling City, he has been sent to Chongshan Academy for training. In the future, he will be familiar with the rules of Chongshan Sect and agree with the philosophy of Chongshan Sect before he can be released as an official.
"Ancestor."
"I've met the ancestor."
The disciples on duty saw him coming in, their eyes showed reverence, and they all bowed and saluted.
Smiling and nodding, he walked into the lobby.
A middle-aged man wearing a Ge robe, tall and thin, with three long beards on his chin and elegant temperament, stood up quickly.
"The King of Liang sent Zhao Wei to pay homage to Master Chongshan."
To be able to cross hundreds of millions of miles so quickly and come here from Jiangling City, Zhao Lei also has a certain cultivation level. And he is not weak at all. He has the cultivation level of Taiyi Xuanxian, which is only a small level lower than Xu Junming.
"Please take a seat."
After thanking Xu Junming and seeing Xu Junming sit down on the main seat, Zhao Lei slowly sat down.
"I wonder what important matter the King of Liang has for asking fellow Taoists to come here?"
"The King of Liang has always admired the famous sects in Chongshan, but it is a pity that he was separated by thousands of mountains and rivers and was busy with official duties, so it was difficult to visit in person. Therefore, I asked Zaixia to bring the treasure and congratulate your sect of Five Virtues Zhenren for advancing to Daluo."
While talking, he took out a jade box from the magic bag on his waist, held it up with magic power, and handed it to Xu Junming.
When the seal on it was opened, the jade box, which was originally only the size of a palm, expanded instantly and turned into the size of a water tank. A hot breath came from the gap.
Opening the lid of the box, there was a piece of red-red metal with light golden lines on the surface.
"Red Lian Yuan Copper?!"
"True people are indeed well-informed, and this is exactly what they are."
Red Refined Yuan Copper is a Da Luo spiritual material, and it has both fire and metal attributes, making it extremely rare.
What's even more difficult is that this treasure is most suitable for training into an alchemy furnace.
A flash of inspiration occurred in his left hand, and the jade box disappeared.
"The King of Liang is interested."
"As long as the real person is satisfied."
After Zhao Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "The King of Liang sent me here this time to tell me again and again that I must explain it clearly to the real person."
"In the beginning, the reason why he agreed to hand over the people of Lingling County to the Taiyin Ghost Sect was because he had no choice but to do so."
"What's the last resort?"
"Taiyin Ghost Emperor Tuoba Feng was once a remnant of the humble tribe of the former Joseon Dynasty. He deeply hated the Han people. Therefore, he planned to take advantage of the chaos in the court to drive hundreds of millions of ghost troops to sweep through Jingxiang and establish a supreme ghost kingdom."
"As the lord of Jingxiang, King Liang could not allow such a tragedy to happen. He had no choice but to command the army and fight fiercely with Tuoba Peak. Unfortunately, there was no Daluo behind him, so he was defeated repeatedly and had to sign an alliance under the city."
"Abandon Lingling County in exchange for the safety of other counties under the rule of King Liang."
Xu Junming smiled faintly.
"In this way, it was really a helpless move for King Liang to abandon Lingling County."
"The King of Liang loves his people as much as his sons. How could he give up Lingling County unless he had no choice?" Zhao Lei was impassioned and excited. Those who don't know may actually believe his words.
"Fortunately, Chongshan Academy and Zhenren came forward, and hundreds of millions of people in Lingling County survived happily. Zhenren's contribution is extremely great, and he will surely reap endless good results."
After taking a look at Xu Junming's expression, there was no change from before. Zhao Lei couldn't figure out what he was thinking at the moment. But the words King Liang told him before he came still rang in his ears and he had to say it.
"Master, Chongshan Academy is an authentic Taoist school. It eliminates demons and protects the Tao. It is praised by the world. The King of Liang has always admired it for a long time."
"However, the people of Jingchu are still facing the threat of the Taiyin Ghost Sect. We hope that Chongshan Academy can show mercy again and protect King Liang and the people of Liang."
"If I agree, what will King Liang prepare to do in return for me?" Xu Junming said.
"If the real person agrees, King Liang is willing to hand over Guiyang County to Chongshan Academy as a dojo."
Guiyang County is in the south of Lingling County, and the two counties are connected. They are both remote places surrounded by mountains, and there are many monsters.
"The King of Liang is willing to give up."
"The King of Liang believes that the people of Guiyang County will definitely become rich under the rule of Chongshan."
"In that case, why doesn't he hand over Hengshan County to me?"
"This...?" Zhao Lei was speechless for a moment.
Although Hengshan County is also a poor place with many mountains and forests, it can serve as the southern barrier of the Jingchu Plain.
If Hengshan County is lost, the army in the southern mountains and forests will be able to reach the core of the Liang Kingdom. As long as Xiao Mian is not stupid, he will not sell Hengshan.
Xu Junming knew the key, he just said it.
"Chongshan Academy can help King Liang."
"Thank you, Masato...!"
"Don't thank me yet, I haven't finished yet."
"Chongshan Academy is a cultivating sect. It does not interfere with King Liang's struggle for world supremacy. It only protects the territory under King Liang from being invaded by monsters and monsters."
"As a price, Guiyang County was handed over to Chongshan Academy as a dojo. In addition, all counties, prefectures and counties under the command of King Liang must have branches of Chongshan Academy."
"But if there are ghosts and monsters intruding the place, you can go to Chongshan Academy for help."
Zhao Lei pondered for a moment. He knew that Chongshan Academy had two great Luo people who were stronger than the Taiyin Ghost Sect. This was why Xiao Mian asked him to win support from Chongshan Academy.
But the King of Liang may not be willing to let this sect, which has broken down the country and is called a sect, but is actually the power of the country, penetrate every inch of the land under his command.
"You can rest assured that Pindao has no intention of invading the land under the rule of King Liang. The reason why he opened the Chongshan branch is just to search for the best spiritual talents and pass on the sect."
"You don't have to be afraid of a poor Taoist who doesn't keep his word. As a practitioner, you should be very aware of the horror of inner demons."
Zhao Lei nodded.
"This matter is of great importance, I want to report it to King Liang first."
"It's natural."
He stood up and said, "Zhao Lei, please leave."
"Shitou, please send Fellow Daoist Zhao off for me."
"Yes, Master."
After the two left, the Dragon Emperor's figure appeared in the lobby.
"Why are you here?"
Just throw it away.
A black copper bell flew into Xu Junming's hand.
"This Soul-Destroying Bell is no longer enough. Help me practice the Great Luo Lingbao."
After taking it over and briefly looking at it, I didn’t refuse.
As the techniques become more and more proficient, the realm of Tiangong Dao becomes higher and higher, and it is much easier to practice Daluo Lingbao than before.
"Aren't you planning to enter the north? Why has it changed this time?"
"Our Chongshan Academy is a sect in itself. It is appropriate to open branches and recruit disciples."
Seeing the smile on his face, the Dragon Emperor understood.
"Although we do not control local military and political power, Buddhism may not allow us to take charge of the Jingxiang practice world."
"Although the Buddhist sect is big, the Taoist sect is not weak either. How is it possible to take over the entire Tang Dynasty?"
The Dragon Emperor nodded.
"You make the decision, I am only responsible for guarding Chongshan Academy."
As soon as the words fell, the figure disappeared instantly.
Time flies by, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past three years, practitioners from all over the world came to visit the Dragon Emperor in an endless stream.
