The person who spoke was none other than Wei Zhengxing, the protector of Yujingmen’s silver bag.
Gui Wujiu smiled and said: "Friend Wei Dao, you are well." He originally estimated that as the local landowners, Yu Xuanzong's people and Wu Miao would find him first if they got the news not long after he left. He never expected that Yu Xuanzong would be the first to find him.
Jingmen took the lead.
Wei Zhengxing smiled and said: "Returned Taoist friends have just joined Zhongqu Nei Island. Maybe they don't know the inside story of the Dharma Assembly. The master in Wanshu Pavilion only practices one method every day. On the hour of two, Wan
A big drum named "Chunjie Drum" will be carried out in the special hall. Monks who want to seek opportunities come forward and beat the drums one by one. The master hears the sound of the drum and chooses one who is destined. It is already sunset in the west.
It’s time.”
Gui Wujiu nodded and said, "That's it, I've learned a lesson."
Wei Zhengxing smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist returned to Zhongqu Island today, which is the right time. Tonight at three o'clock at 12 o'clock in the North City, I, Yuhuafang, Yujingmen, will be hosting a banquet. A wonderful party.
It doesn't happen often, so if you hope to join us as a Taoist friend, please don't refuse."
Gui Wujiu's mind changed. He naturally didn't believe it was a coincidence. There happened to be a party held at Yujing Gate on the day he entered the island. However, due to circumstances and reasons, he really couldn't refuse. He immediately said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
It was already the first moment of the unitary hour, and it was only half a stick of incense before the banquet started. Fortunately, the entire inner island of Zhongqu Island was only a thousand miles away, and Wanshu Pavilion was only two to three hundred miles away from Baijia in Beishi, so there was plenty of time.
.
In Taoism, people mainly travel by flying, not only because of their speed, but also because of the joy and pleasure of flying in the sky and flying freely.
However, within the thousand-mile radius of Zhongqu Inner Island, there are more than tens of thousands of monks gathered during the day, including many Yuanying immortals stationed on the island. Under normal circumstances, they do not escape wantonly. Yu Xuanzong built a road running from east to west on the inner island, sixty feet wide
The main avenue is called Luchen Street. All important places in the inner island are on both sides of Luchen Street.
The north and south sides of the western end of Luchen Street are the north and south cities of Zhongqu Island City; and the eastern end is the Qinyun Twelve Peaks, the fundamental center of Yu Xuanzong on the island.
On this Luchen Street, monks and ordinary people are walking down-to-earth like ordinary people patrolling the streets. However, the breeze is blowing on this street and it is empty. This is because these monks can walk dozens of feet in one step.
, all that remains is an afterimage.
On the way to Yuhuafang, Wei Zhengxing seemed to be in a lively conversation and kept introducing the situation on Zhongqu Island to Gui Wujiu.
Wei Zhengxing smiled and said: "The big city of Zhongqu Island is divided into north and south. Returned Taoist friends wander around the south city all day long, but they don't know that the north city is the highlight. From the perspective of ordinary casual cultivators, the south city can almost be called
It’s all-encompassing, but what my Taoist friends want, I’m afraid it’s not easy to get it in Nanshi, and even if you get it, it won’t be much.”
Gui Wujiu nodded with a smile.
Wei Zhengxing said: "Even though there are millions of rare objects on display in Nanshi every day, the truly rare objects are all selected for the annual treasure appreciation meeting. Therefore, although the number is large, the essence has been lost.
Most of them must have come to Zhongqu Island for the Taoist Taoist gathering at this time."
Gui Wujiu nodded and said: "That's true. I also want to go to Bei City. But I heard that hundreds of schools in Bei City are established based on sects, and they seem to run the city on Zhongqu Island as a place for sects to select valuable talents in order to attract acquisitions.
It’s for the Lord. Even if something happens, it’s only between acquaintances who know each other well. I’m a newcomer here, so it’s inconvenient to disturb each other.”
Wei Zhengxing said meaningfully: "Beijing City and South City cannot be compared. The key is not here."
Gui Wujiu's heart moved, and he knew that Wei Zhengxing must have something to say. He immediately asked for advice on the secret.
Big sects such as Yu Xuanzong, Shattered Alliance, and Yujing Sect not only have side sects, but are also powerful and have branches. Just like the monks Yu Xuanzong assigned to guard and sentry islands on the wave cone, the number is
The bottom line that can be used after careful calculation is that it is absolutely impossible to fill the mines with gold elixir monks to refine miscellaneous jade. This person's ambition is to decipher the mystery of the Five Elements Miscellaneous Jade, and he can be called a chess player.
For example, for those who are cultivators of Jindan San, their path has been exhausted and they have no artistic career to support them. They refine the Five Elements Miscellaneous Jade and accumulate a fortune. Not only do they not think it is a hardship, but they seem to have gained a huge advantage. This type of people are like floating without roots.
Ping, the bean-throwing soldier, can be discarded without backhand when it appears.
However, there is a gray area between the chess game and the chess pieces.
Just like that day when He Gui Wujiu passed by and escorted more than 20 guilty cultivators, this second-class sect certainly had the art of making alchemy arrays and tools in the sect, but compared to the first-class sect, it looked incomplete;
Although the power is vast enough, it is suppressed by a first-level sect, and there is not much room for advancement. There are hundreds of Jindan monks in the sect, and they only have the title of outer sect elder. There are actually three first-level Jindan monks who are sitting on a plain diet.
Forty people.
It was natural for Wei Zhengxing to understand the meaning behind his words. He asked in question: "When we boarded the boat that day, we only saw a few people escorting the guilty cultivators. We did not see the Jindan cultivators from Qingche Men's family."
An ambiguous smile appeared on Wei Zhengxing's face: "That's because the members of their own sect all travel in the name of casual cultivators, renting a star island each and not moving together."
Wei Zhengxing continued: "Except for Qingche Men, second-class sects such as Jiulian Palace, Shanlin Hall, and Liuhe Sect are all like this. Even the more powerful third-class sects can do it without weakening their own strength.
A few miscellaneous people came out. However, the third-class sects did not have the ability to act alone. Most of the sects who were allies of each other signed an alliance and established a sect on the north market of Zhongqu Island."
Gui Wujiu understood clearly at this time. The Baimen of the North City of Zhongqu Island clearly had dual functions. On the surface, it was a place for business and travel operations, but in fact, it was a stronghold to control the Jindan monks of his family.
Of course, this is not the case for Bailong Chamber of Commerce, Broken Alliance, and Yujingmen. The business of these three companies is relatively pure, and they only bear the responsibility of transportation and business travel. Because they are in the middle of Luchen Street, these companies have "friendly negotiations" with Yu Xuanzong
Each of them enclosed nearly a hundred miles of land and built several "manors".
After some chatting, Luchen Street came to the end. The North Market has arrived.
The northern and southern cities have the same area. The southern city has hundreds vertically and horizontally, and the northern city has ten vertically and horizontally. Taking into account the width of the streets, the area occupied by each square gate in the northern city is two to three hundred times larger than the shop floor in the southern city.
There are actually only ninety-nine of the hundreds of stores in the North City. The four most central ones are Bailongfang of the Bailong Chamber of Commerce in the northeast, Lingchenfang of the Broken Alliance in the northwest, and Yuhua of Yujingmen in the southwest.
The southeastern part of Fangfang has been vacant so far. There is no fourth sect of comparable size that is qualified to occupy this position.
Black plaques and white walls, sparse forests and abundant grass.
The three large characters "Yuhuafang" are soft and steady, and the brushwork is thick and dense. The lane behind the door is no more than ten feet wide, with strong bamboos planted every three steps. There are shallow grasses in the corners, gathering a sense of vitality.
Wei Zhengxing made a welcoming gesture and went in. On both sides of the lane were a pair of gold-nailed and red-lacquered gates, which seemed to be the gateway to Yuhuafang's external operations.
If an ordinary citizen with some knowledge is coerced here and told that this is the residence of a prince, grand lord and prince, most of them will probably not believe it.
Wei Zhengxing smiled and said: "Each house is hundreds of feet long and wide, which is naturally incomparable to the famous mountains and deep valleys. But if you want to build a dojo inside a snail shell, it is not impossible to make it look like a fairy."
"However, when this place was founded thousands of years ago, the seniors of several sects all paid attention to the beauty of integrating the situation. Since this place is a business, the fairyland is not as good as the ordinary."
Walking into the end of Baizhang Lane, there is a turning point and the scene in front of you changes.
