As soon as the short man without the hood appeared, Jiang Feng immediately remembered an inexplicable sentence he had said to him before:
"When Master Jiang is promoted to the prefecture level, I think we will have the opportunity to cooperate."
The person coming was none other than Yin Du, the foundation-building monk who peddled magic weapons on the passenger ship on the trip to Snow Island, and then inexplicably made some small moves in the rest area of the demon monks.
The origin of this person is unknown, and he possesses a large number of valuable magic weapons. Just to "seal" him, he can produce the experience certificate of Xihai Lingxu, which shows that the person behind him has an extremely powerful background.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Yin, a rare guest." Jiang Feng thought that he must give enough respect to a person with such an inexplicable background. Although judging from his cultivation level, the other party must call himself "senior".
"Headmaster Jiang is fine and well. I think after several months of separation, you can actually take a step forward. It seems that you have a good opportunity. I wonder where you can be promoted?"
"A few small places are not worth mentioning." If you want to be promoted to the prefecture level, you will definitely need the help of a third-level or above-quality spiritual land, but the Qianshan Sect does not have it. When Yin Du asked about this, Jiang Feng had to be wary of the other party's detection.
Knowing the things related to the ruins, I was even worried that he could find out the secret of the ancient treasure Tower of Eternity. However, fortunately, the other party seemed to have average qualifications and did not find any clues.
Yin Du just smiled and didn't take it to heart. He followed Jiang Feng's guidance and looked at the seats. However, without saying anything for a long time, Jiang Feng secretly thought that he might have some things that should not be known to outsiders, so he turned away the attendants, but saw Yin Du playing
A soundproof cover filled with purple light spoke loudly:
"I am here, first of all, to congratulate Master Jiang on his promotion to the prefectural level." Immediately, a Nai Ring appeared in his hand, and as the aura flashed, a pair of bloody gloves appeared on the table, shining under the "Linglong Baoguang"
The blue and purple light must be at least a third-level magic weapon, but it should not exceed the third-level mid-level weapon. "A small gift is not a sign of respect."
"Fellow Taoist, you're too polite. I won't receive any reward for no merit."
Jiang Feng just looked at it and did not ask about the properties of the glove, nor did he use it to observe and appreciate it carefully. Although the two of them were acquaintances, they did not have a deep friendship, except for the transaction involving Tu Shan.
The two of them were on the snow island. If it weren't for the special rules and restrictions, Jiang Feng was afraid of triggering a backlash from the organizer. Jiang Feng thought that the other party would probably kill him on the spot.
"Master Jiang is really straightforward. I just have a question that I would like to ask."
"Speaking!"
"Headmaster Jiang once purchased a magic weapon, the Lapis Gold Pestle, from me. I wonder what happened to it?"
really!
Jiang Feng secretly thought that as soon as he thought of Tushan, this guy asked him about it. Should he tell the truth or go around in a circle? Two thoughts clashed in Jiang Feng's mind for a moment, but he immediately made a decision:
"I gave that magic weapon to Tu Shan. He promised early on to help me solve the dilemma of the avenue and the third-order spiritual land, including the opening of trade routes between the two sects and many other generous conditions." Jiang Feng decided to give it to him.
Let Tu Shan be used as a shield. After all, it was actually Tu Shan who bought it, and he was not in sight, so he couldn't confront him face to face. If he said "buying on behalf of" directly, it would probably cause even greater trouble.
"Oh? I've been traveling all the way. Looking at the situation of your sect, it seems that it is difficult to produce so many spiritual stones. Head Jiang has spent a lot of money before."
"Everywhere, everywhere, they are all left by the previous masters." Jiang Feng was asked about his pain points. Obviously, judging from the situation of the Qianshan Sect, it is indeed very difficult to take out four fourth-level coins at once. Yin Du does not trust him.
, thinking that there is a hidden secret behind it being directed by others, but since the lie has been told, it can only continue to be told.
"As the saying goes, even a broken ship has three nails, but it makes fellow Taoists laugh. You don't know something. At that time, the relationship between Qianshan Sect and Chixia Sect was not good. There was also an incident where Chixia Sect assassinated a monk of our sect.
Therefore, I also secretly made up my mind to find a backer. It happened that Tushan and I were on good terms, so I presented this treasure. Sure enough, with such a heavy gift, he was willing to provide protection. But unfortunately, he died a few days ago.
In the melee of the Seven Alliances."
Jiang Feng showed a regretful expression, but saw Yin Du also paused for a moment, as if he was digesting Jiang Feng's lie, "You said, Tu Shan is really dead?"
"I also heard that he blew up his golden elixir at the last moment. I guess that's the case. Why, do you have any news about him?"
"No." Yin Du flatly denied, "We don't care about the affairs of the Seven Alliance." He then added, "Since he is dead, you just need to keep the matter of the Green Gold Pestle in your heart, you know what I mean.
Yet?"
"What Lapis Lazuli?"
Jiang Feng deliberately asked a question. At this point, he roughly knew the other party's intention. When the green gold pestle was being traded, he didn't look much at it. Later, he thought that the origin of this treasure might be unknown, and he thought that Shangguan Ba Shuang was secretly operating the treasure.
incident, so he connected the two things and analyzed them, feeling that they might be the same thing. Now that Yin Du came to visit and inquire about the matter, Jiang Feng's judgment was even more certain.
Yindu should be a link in this forbidden magic weapon trade route. Only items of this value are worthy of being promoted to official positions.
Ba Shuang, as well as the forces that Chu Yiming talked about, participated in and stole Li Zong's spiritual land as support. There were four fourth-level coins, and what he saw at that time was more than a few. Plus what he didn't see, then this
The business is likely to involve hundreds, or even thousands, of Level 4 coins.
So scary!
You must know that if you and Yan Shujia worked together to kill Liu Kui and the other four people, excluding Tie Sanquan's storage bag that was swept away by the weapon spirit black whale, they could only harvest more than ninety third-level spiritual stones, less than one
A fourth-level weapon, and those three people are all the backbone of the sect. Although the bulk may be on those unidentified magic weapons, it is enough to prove how terrifying the scale of this prohibited business is. Speaking of this
What kind of people will be involved in the sale of thousands of level 4 coins, and who will they serve?
Yin Du also smiled.
"Last time, fellow Taoist mentioned that if I reach the prefecture level, there may be new cooperation. What are the details?" Seeing that the other party no longer mentioned the Green Gold Pestle, Jiang Feng became even more convinced that this matter must be extremely serious.
Regarding secret matters, even if you continue to make insinuations, you will not reveal more details, but it will increase your own danger.
"This is the second thing I came here for. Do you know Old Man Nine?"
"Know a thing or two."
"That's enough. I came here just to ask Headmaster Jiang not to prematurely select any of the Nine Old Men to be worshiped by the sect, but to maintain a wait-and-see attitude."
"Why?"
"No reason. There are some things that we rarely cooperate with, so I can't say more about it, but I hope that the post of head of the Qianshan Sect of Master Jiang can be vacant for my master."
"Who is your master?"
"I can't tell you yet."
"This..." Jiang Feng looked slightly embarrassed. In fact, he had just learned from Leng Tingtao about the relationship between the "Nine Old Men" and "Enshrinement". Any sect with a canonization document and a legitimate name
, when the leader reaches the prefecture level or the golden elixir realm, he can select one of the Nine Old Men as the sect's offering, and pay 3% to 5% of the sect's income for worship every year. At the same time, the offering will also
Help coordinate and resolve conflicts with other sects, ensure that they will not be treated unfairly, and lead their core members to take further steps on the road.
This is an elegant statement on the surface.
In fact, this is the protection fee given to the strong. After the sect lost the protection of the patriarchal clan, it must be guaranteed for a long time. If you don’t see it, the Luoying sect did not have no worship, but was it still destroyed? Everything still depends on strength.
He spoke, and the seven alliances were all worshiped by the same name, Liu Tingjian, a half-sage who was born in the Wei Kingdom.
These private interpretations were also the extra rewards Leng Tingtao gave Jiang Feng after he obtained the Luoying Sect's canonization documents. According to Jiang Feng's guess, although Leng Tingtao, the Luoying Sect's document, could not use it, he could use it to communicate with the puppet sect.
The Luoyingmen transaction made him more "justified" and gained friendship from Qi. This was the greatest value that the document could bring to him.
"Let's put it bluntly," Yin Du also noticed that Jiang Feng didn't seem to understand what he meant. "At a certain time in the future, on a specific occasion, I need you to choose my master as a worshiper. It's that simple!"
"This..." Jiang Feng secretly thought, now that I have reached the prefecture level, I have the qualifications to choose an enshrined person, and according to Leng Tingtao, although it is protection money, it is inappropriate not to choose an enshrined person to rely on.
Knowing that although there was no real sect, Leng Tingtao and Zuo Zichan had already begun to present their share of offerings to Liu Tingjian in order to seek peace.
"Do you want a benefit?" Yin Du smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Master Jiang, you bought the green gold pestle and gave it to Tushan. I didn't go into it further. It was already a huge benefit. I
I believe you understand this." He said as he deliberately looked at the glove weapon in front of him. It was obvious that I had already paid for the benefit in advance.
"What Lapis Lazuli?"
Jiang Feng pretended to be at a loss again, deliberately not looking at the magic weapon on the table. He had already figured out in his mind that since the other party asked him to delay the selection of the offering, and to appear on a suitable occasion and publicly make the [m] choice, then this Yin
Most of the people behind them are not the core members of the Nine Old Men. Only in this way do they need their own support. Otherwise, what is the point of having such a weak Qianshan Sect even though they have one more family? Let alone three percent.
If it reaches 5%, it means 50%. For a monk with "such a big business", it is just a drop in the bucket. What help does it have?
In other words, your choice can bring about a qualitative change in the identity of the other party, which is equivalent to breaking the situation "from zero to one". Once you provide such a change, you will inevitably have great risks. For example, in your own place,
If the top leader disappears, then the Qianshan Sect will no longer be a sect that can be chosen to worship.
"Headmaster Jiang, you are a bit..."
"I believe you and am willing to do what you said. However, Fellow Daoist Yin, this matter seems to be very risky. I think you also understand that there should be as much benefit as there are risks."
"Tell me, Taoist magic weapon, what do you want?" Yin Du seemed to have been prepared for this.
Jiang Feng originally wanted a magic weapon. After all, he had seen Yindu's directory on the boat to Snow Island before. There was more than one treasure there, and there must be some unsold items. However, the other party asked about the whereabouts of the green golden pestle.
Jiang Feng suddenly felt that this kind of thing might be extremely hot now and he shouldn't get involved, at least with his current level, he shouldn't get involved in it.
"Do one thing for me."
"speak!"
"I had some misunderstandings with Wan Yuting, the head of the Qing Yu Sect, and I hope to find a middle man to make peace. I wonder if I can ask Fellow Daoist Yin for help?"
"The hatred for killing your father? The hatred for taking away your wife?"
"No. All you need to do is mention the jade talisman to him, and he will know."
"You tricked me?"
"Don't dare! I said that I am willing to do what you mentioned before, then we are friends, right?"
"Okay! I'll give it a try and give you news in half a month."
"It's too late. If we communicate too late, I might die at any time." When Jiang Feng said this, he suddenly remembered that it seemed that nothing happened after staying in Luochuan for a few days. Would it be Wan Lao?
The devil has forgotten about this matter. If this is the case, wouldn't it be a big loss if he made a deal with a "no need to make peace" condition?
"Since your life is still very important to our friendship, I will do my best." Yin Du took a deep breath, "Master Jiang, I will say goodbye first. The days are long. Although we have not made a soul oath, I hope
You can keep your promise."
"That's natural. I, Jiang Feng, have always been a man of my word." Jiang Feng made a solid promise, but he was thinking in his heart whether it would be extremely dangerous to rashly join forces when the other party's background is unknown.
Because of this, he is in crisis, but he has to break his promise and get rich. Moreover, the other party does not need to swear by himself, and he must have other plans.
"besides……"
"I've never seen you before." Jiang Feng naturally understood what the other party meant.
"Headmaster Jiang is indeed a person who understands the rules. I hope we can cooperate happily." Yin Du nodded and left the headmaster's palace. However, he did not get on any carriage, nor did the imperial envoy Feijian leave. Instead, he left under Jiang Feng's
While watching, he entered a shop diagonally opposite "Gulaiju" and never came out again. But Jiang Feng knew that he should have left here with the help of a short-distance teleportation array, and the magic weapon shop called "Gulaiju" should be
How to contact the other party.
After sending Yin Du away, Jiang Feng thought about the gains and losses in this transaction for a moment. He felt that everything depends on the other party's subsequent actions. Moreover, the matter of worship also depends on the changes in the situation. As a small sect on the edge of the Seven Alliance, Qianshan
Who the sect chooses to worship is still a problem. I have just entered the prefectural level, so I don’t know what the details are.
Fortunately, I don't have to do anything for the time being. I can get Yin Du to help persuade Wan Lao Mo. I can only hope that the other party will succeed immediately. It would be best to resolve this matter before finding Li Da Bang.
Compared with relying on someone who has no interests and no idea what to do to impress the other party, he believes that with the bond of mutual use, the other party may work harder and have a higher success rate.
Thinking about looking for Li Dabang, I wondered how the people from the Mirror Division were making progress in finding their apprentice Jiang Yunqi, but suddenly I remembered that I seemed a little impatient. The appearance of the beach and the building complex had just been handed over to me.
It's just them.
…………
The morning light dews slightly.
On the vast sea, petrels flew back and forth to eat.
Jiang Yunqi was lying in the corner of the cabin, like an ordinary traveler who fell asleep. He didn't want to do this because he didn't have the credentials to board the ship.
But what surprised him was that no one seemed to have come to check on the matter. This was the first thing he couldn't figure out after he was forced to jump into the sea and secretly boarded the passenger ship in front of him.
As for the second thing, he discovered it while wandering boldly on the ship after realizing the first thing.
There are only two private rooms on this not-so-big passenger ship. Unlike the previous passenger ship that went to Tianyin Temple, these two private rooms are very large, but no one has ever entered or exited them. This is very abnormal.
.
But the travelers in the cabin were all normal. The monks and lay people lived in separate places, chatting about the customs of various places, discussing the business and rumors of various places. Jiang Yunqi listened carefully and found nothing special.
This passenger ship is said to be bound for Tianluomenpurang Port. It is said that it takes fourteen days to arrive, which is twice as slow as ordinary passenger ships. Jiang Yunqi also found an excuse to ask the passengers, but the news he got is that this is a passenger ship.
It is a ship that carries ironware, so it is not very fast. Moreover, the shipping fee is extremely cheap, so what does it matter if it is slower?
Carrying iron? Jiang Yunqi looked at the side of the ship, which was not deep in water, and felt that there was something abnormal. He took the opportunity to shuttle among the crowd and once again stole a boarding ticket from the waist of a gorgeously dressed mortal.
Proof. With this proof, his mind became active again.
The secret of this extremely slow-moving ship might be in this private room. Thinking of this possibility, he knocked on the bronze door of a private room.
