Four hundred and fiftieth eight chapters make a decision
At this time, Liu Canran suddenly saw Qiu Daocheng stand up, brushing away the light black air that was like tarsal maggots all over his body, and walked towards the direction where he was meditating.
"Little friend Chanran, the two of them haven't returned home for a long time. Maybe they have encountered some troubles. How about you go and visit?" Qiu Daocheng had a warm smile on his face. Along the way, he kept saying "Little Chanran"
Liu Canran was called "Friend" without any intention of forcing him, but the look he glanced at made Liu Canran suddenly feel the pressure.
"Please lend me a magic weapon to restrain ghosts." The explorer has not returned yet, so he naturally knows that this trip is dangerous.
"This... little friend Chanran, it is natural for me to refine the magic weapon myself. Even if I borrow it from you, it cannot be perfected in a short time. Do you think this makes sense?" Qiu Daocheng politely declined.
"A talisman can also be used." What Liu Canran actually wanted was this. He naturally knew that the few people present would not really lend him the talisman, so he put forward a condition that was more difficult to satisfy.
"There has just been a fierce battle. I am afraid that Fellow Daoist Liu has not yet fully recovered, so I am wary. How about letting Fellow Daoist Song who is traveling with me go and visit first?" At this time, Zuo Zichan, who had been silent until now, stood up and pointed.
The shirtless traveler behind him, who originally deliberately kept a low profile after revealing his "extraordinary" abilities, and the half-demon were completely exposed in front of everyone, so he chose the opportunity to announce his surname as "Zuo" and his traveler's surname as "Song"
, but did not reveal his true identity as the "Head of the Huanglong Sect".
"That's fine."
Qiu Daocheng's face was gloomy. Someone volunteered, so he didn't continue to force Liu Canran. He just said, "Then I'll give you a hard time, fellow Taoist Song," and withdrew. However, this time, his original gentle smile disappeared, and there were even more in his hands.
He picked up a large blood-colored mace and moved his seat a few steps closer to the passage from which he came, with a vague sense of precaution.
Liu Canran cast a grateful look at Zuo Zichan, but saw that the other party just nodded lightly without saying anything. There was a bright orb in his hand, which immediately dispelled the light black mist that was everywhere nearby.
This person seems to have come specifically for this place. Liu Canran once again had a clear understanding in his heart, but he has no friendship with me, why did he come forward to help me?
Originally he thought that all of them were close friends with Qiu Dao and were of the same mind, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Qianshan Sect, northwest of Zhanchuan Town.
Jiang Feng finally chose the cave rented by Shangguan Boliang as a temporary shelter, and stored the black whale that "voluntarily" transformed into a sword form into a storage bag. This whale was very unhappy with Fang Cai Yingge's attack, and Jiang Feng was worried
Leaving it here will cause unnecessary conflict between the two of them.
Hongzhi, the golden elixir monk from Tianyin Temple, was also retained. He only added two more heavy ropes and attached more soul-sealing talismans. Then he was safely handed over to Yingge and three disciples, and told them to
Don't let it escape. For safety's sake, Jiang Feng also took all the gold scissors, alms bowls and other items in his hands.
"If you don't run away, I will return it to you when I come back."
Jiang Feng waved the magic weapon "Blood Curse Ghost Raising Bowl" in front of Hongzhi's eyes. This was the name he asked Hongzhi when he was giving Hongzhi some air on the way. As for why this object was so important to him, he changed his usual tone and remained tight-lipped.
.
Hongzhi shook his head at first, and then nodded. Jiang Feng knew that he probably wouldn't run away. This person's Dharma Appearance was "Wonderful Sound, Pan, Hui, and Bell". He had excellent qualifications, but he was not a combat type. He was also of the common Dharma Appearance categories such as auxiliary type, weapon refining type, etc.
It has nothing to do with it, but it is one of the sixteen kinds of "noble and famous people" in rumors.
The so-called "noble and famous" Dharma signs refer to those special Dharma signs that can greatly improve the speed of cultivation, but it is often difficult to learn skills. If it is a monster race, the skills of the Dharma signs that are automatically born will be very poor, but Hongzhi is a human race and can do it on his own.
Learn skills, but judging from the methods used in fighting, most of what you have learned is useless and has no advantages.
This kind of monks also have ways to make up for their weakness, which is to use the power of magical weapons and talismans, but Hongzhi happens to be a disciple of Tongguang. As a Nascent Soul monk, Tongguang most likely has no shortage of magical weapons at his side, but from what he has with him.
Judging from Wan Lao Demon's fighting skills, he does not carry many magic weapons with him. It can be seen that the Taoism he follows should be a sect that follows "purity and nature, the unity of heaven and man". Hongzhi of this kind of dharma and worshiping Tongguang's disciples can be said to be mistaken.
Go astray.
Jiang Feng suspected that there must be a hidden secret, but he didn't have time to ask in detail at the moment, and Hongzhi's future had nothing to do with him. Even if he was willing to betray the sect, the Qianshan Sect could not poach Tianyin Temple.
Putting the matter aside for the time being, Jiang Feng patrolled around the abandoned cave here for a while. When he saw that no suspicious monks passed by, he took off the "Flying Boat Against the Wind" and headed straight for the Qing Yu Sect.
Two and a half hours later, before the sun set in the west, Jiang Feng arrived at Zhuqiao City, the seat of the Qing Yu Sect. In order to show respect, he landed ten miles away from the sect leader's inner palace, then flew quickly, and when he arrived
Nearby, the "Second Master" Chen Kun, who had long noticed Jiang Feng's aura, came out to welcome him.
"Master Jiang is really a rare guest!"
"Sorry to bother you." After being welcomed into the side hall of the leader's inner palace by Chen Kun, Jiang Feng told all the matters related to the commercial land in Juque City, but he did not mention Bai Shiduo, nor did he mention the other party's request to "avoid himself and the Qianshan Sect."
According to the conditions, everything is his own plan, and the partners have been selected, and he is only waiting for the opinion of the Jincheng League.
"Jiang thought that it would be safer to cooperate with Linglong Chamber of Commerce and use the name of Jincheng Alliance to do things on the ground of Li Zong, and it would also be a good thing for the alliance. Therefore, Xingye came here to ask the leader of the alliance.
Opinion."
"Of course we are in favor of such a good thing. I admire Master Jiang's willingness to share the worries of the alliance." Chen Kun complimented Jiang Feng by the way. After thinking for a moment, a cloud of worry emerged from his eyebrows: "I don't know what the alliance needs."
What conditions must be paid to achieve this cooperation? Now, it is the end of the year for each sect. As far as I know, the turnover is quite slow. I am afraid that not many spiritual stones can be obtained. In addition, the share is too small, and the meaning is meaningless.
Not much. I think it should be at least 30%."
Thirty percent... This is roughly the same as what Jiang Feng expected Qiu Nanjia to accept. Bai Shiduo didn't want anything. Jiang Feng still hasn't figured out why. Although the "kill for life" condition was put in front of him, Jiang Feng was still worried in his heart.
If you are not tied to Bai Shiduo's interests, if something happens and you ask Tiantian to respond, wouldn't it be a waste of time? As a man in the middle, wouldn't you be in a dilemma as you make profits from both sides?
Bai Shiduo could not accept the shares on the books or endorse them, presumably because he was waiting for hidden benefits. Recalling what he said at the time, "you can cause trouble at any time," it should be a tactful warning.
I don't need it, but you have to give it. This is what Bai Shiduo meant. Suddenly he figured out this link. Jiang Feng felt clear in his heart. He secretly thought that Bai Shiduo, compared with other Li Sect people he came into contact with, still likes to go around the bush.
guy.
As for the difficulties mentioned by Chen Kun, he thought of it when he came:
"There are definitely difficulties. Each sect can also invest in shares according to its own situation. If you are willing, if you don't have spiritual stones, you can use other ones to make up for it. As long as all parties involved in the cooperation agree on this matter."
"Then the Qing Yu Sect should use the spiritual land to become a shareholder, how about that?" Chen Kun, who had already opened the spiritual land as a resource within the alliance, came up with this idea again. This played into Jiang Feng's plan, but he pretended to be suspicious, "
The Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce does have high-level monks, but I don’t know whether they need a spiritual land. I think that most of my colleagues who are willing to join the Chamber of Commerce will be blocked and their entry will be difficult. However, I can deal with this matter."
"That's good. Except for the spiritual land used by Alliance Leader Wan, Qing Yu Sect has two third-level spiritual lands. Coupled with the previous accumulation and recent development, there are a total of 25 vacant caves that can be used as shares, one per year.
The authority to use Yue lasts for twenty years. I think it is not an exaggeration to own 10% of the 30% of the shares, right? As for you guys, you can also produce spiritual stones. I, the Qing Yu Sect, have no objection." Chen Kun's abacus
He played exquisitely, not making a single move, and only used the cave to get through. Naturally, Jiang Feng couldn't let him get what he wanted.
"I think it's reasonable." Jiang Feng first said something affirmative against his will, "But whether Head Su and others will agree with this matter, we still need to convene everyone to discuss it."
"That's true." Seeing that Jiang Feng did not object, Chen Kun had nothing to say, "I will pass a message to them later, but the Zuo leader came to ask for a borrowed magic weapon before and said he would not be able to return until ten days. At this time, it was already
I've been there for three days. Therefore, let's make an appointment on the third day of the first lunar month next year."
"That's very good." This move was in line with Jiang Feng's wishes, but Chen Kun's unintentional words made Jiang Feng feel troubled. Zuo Zichan was not in the sect at this moment!
Jiang Feng made a decision immediately, without changing his expression. He talked with Chen Kun about some trivial matters within the alliance, and then said goodbye. When he left the boundaries of Zhuqiao City, he quickly flew north and headed straight for the Qianshan Sect, even though he passed by the large-scale construction projects.
He didn't make any stop in Xiling County until he reached the vicinity of Zhanchuan Town, then he pressed the cloud head and took out the "Thousand-mile Yin-Yang Mirror".
Zuo Zichan is not in the sect. If Liu Sijiang can be lured out of Shuanglong City, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to take action? Thinking about this, Jiang Feng pondered for a moment and then left writing on the "Thousand Mile Yin and Yang Mirror" and asked Zheng Yiyu to tell Wang Xiandao,
Regardless of the cost, immediately set a trap and execute the previous trapping plan.
It's a pity that this "Thousand-mile Yin-Yang Mirror" is about to expire. It's still too slow to rely on monks to fly between cities to deliver messages. You must find a method as soon as possible to facilitate your command and instigation of everyone in the sect.
Naturally, this also includes the power lurking in Beimu County.
By the way, where can I find this method? This question has troubled me for a long time.
Jiang Feng wandered in the air for a moment, but there was no response from the "Thousand-mile Yin-Yang Mirror". He couldn't help but feel a little anxious, secretly wondering if there might be any mistakes in the process. However, seeing the waning moon in the sky and the cold wind entering his body, his thoughts became clearer.
How can it be so fast? I am obviously obsessed with hatred. Even if Wang Xiandao starts to instigate immediately, he will still need time to send a message to his subordinates and wait for the other party to respond. When the message comes back, it will be another period of time. The problems he faces
, same as me.
Suddenly thinking about this, Jiang Feng turned around and flew towards the entrance of the cave where Yingge and others were hiding. As for the meeting within the third alliance on the first day of the first lunar month, he only hoped that someone could come up with spiritual stones to occupy the other 20%, so that he could
The name "Jincheng Alliance" can be used smoothly. As for the Qianshan Sect, it can be nothing or a little symbolic. As long as this cooperation can be achieved, the conditions promised by Qiu Nanjia will be fulfilled. For the Qianshan Sect, it is enough.
Never be greedy!
Considering the Qianshan Sect's income this year, although it is higher than in previous years, it is still not enough to invest in the operation of the Juque City store. At this time, the spiritual stones should be spent wisely. Although for the future of the Juque City store,
Especially the prospects after three years were equally promising, but Jiang Feng couldn't help but warn himself not to invest too much in it.
The advancement of a sect is like cultivating the Tao. You must first lay a solid foundation before you can climb higher step by step. Otherwise, jumping in hastily will only become a drag once you get stuck in it. Joining the Jincheng Alliance, whether it is cultivation resources or ordinary monks, have the same benefits.
It's nothing but a matter of time. The buffer time left to you is only three to five years. Once you become a low-ranking person, the Qianshan Sect will become nothing more than an empty shell.
Precisely because of this thought, he should hope that other sects would invest a large amount of spiritual stones or resources to reduce their investment in the sect in disguise. This would give him the opportunity to catch up.
Jiang Feng also had a small calculation. If he could use this matter to bargain with Qiu Nanjia and let a small number of monks in the sect use the Qing Yu Sect's spiritual land for free in the name of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, it would be a better thing.
Still needing to think carefully, Jiang Feng knew that everything would not go as planned.
…………
Chilongmen, the northern foot of "Yumeng Molong Ridge".
The monk who explored the path still failed to return as promised. Qiu Daocheng looked suspicious and flew forward. He entered every fork in the road and explored dozens of feet. By the time he returned, he seemed to have made a decision.
"These forked roads may be connected to each other, and there will be scattered ghostly springs in the middle. Once you go deep and fight with ghosts, they will probably attract the ghosts wandering in other forked roads. Because of the huge number, it is difficult to find them for a while.
Escape. Therefore, I have two sets of response plans."
"First, we set off together. The combined strength of everyone should be enough to deal with more ghosts."
"Secondly, we should spread out our actions and each choose a fork in the road. The ghosts are not very intelligent and should not gather together. We will besiege all the way first."
Liu Canran immediately decided to choose the second option, which was suitable for him to escape. However, he knew that he should not express his stance first at this time, but Sun Youtang, who was sometimes cursing, was the first to express his stance:
"Before, you cherished your life and wasted so much time. In the end, you gained nothing. I think the speed is too slow. I will choose the second one, but the gains cannot be divided equally. Each one has his destiny."
He seemed to be very confident in his own strength. He looked around and said, "If you are not sure, you can choose first. But I have a ugly saying in front of you. If anyone escapes midway or stays still, he is my son, Sun Youtang."
."
"Where is Fellow Daoist Zuo?" Qiu Daocheng's expression did not change and he turned to look at Zuo Zichan.
"It's fine to disperse. But since Fellow Daoist Song is gone, I will naturally take this fork in the road." Zuo Zichan pointed to the fork in the road that Song Weiduo took before. Compared with the remaining ones, the black air here became more intense. I don't know if it has something to do with the monk's visit.
"Where is Fellow Daoist Liu?" Qiu Daocheng did not use the previous title this time.
"I obey everyone's decision." Two people had already agreed to go their separate ways. Liu Canran had an idea and gave a vague opinion, but it was obvious that it was a consensus to act separately. Liu Canran also knew that there was a reason for this decision. The obvious benefit is that there is no need to worry about exposing each other's methods, causing covetousness from fellow travelers, and bringing more risks.
"In this way, Fellow Daoist Yisun and Fellow Daoist Zuo." Suddenly a silver-white talisman appeared in Qiu Daocheng's hand, and spiritual power filled it, immediately forming a barrier surrounded by gray aura, blocking everyone's way back.
"This thing can temporarily isolate this place. This ghost cave is the one we have discovered so far that is most likely to hide a tomb. For the common benefit of everyone, I hope that you will work hard to move forward and meet in the cave. If there is anyone who retreats halfway, Waiting for public enemies for me."
"Good!" Sun Youtang and Zuo Zichan agreed at the same time, Liu Canran followed closely, but was still a step too slow.
Everyone chose their favorite fork in the road one by one. Liu Canran did not fall last this time. He chose a fork in advance and walked nearly a hundred feet. When he sensed a small spring of ghostly energy in the distance, he quietly He stopped and hid all his breath.
The spiritual power turned into flames, and the flickering light immediately dispelled the ubiquitous darkness. Carefully guarding against possible dangers, he took out the ice hidden in his sleeve. However, he saw that the ice suddenly fell off and turned into ice on the ground. A twisted puddle of water.
