Chapter 992 Invitation Letter(2/3)
"But the young master said to wait. He wants to wait for the people of the four kingdoms of the blessed land to gradually adapt to the fact that there are gods flying in the clouds and mist on the mountain, and spirits and ghosts often walk around the world. When you appear again, even if the number is larger, you will become accustomed to it. Ordinary Master
Accustomed to the strange things of gods and immortals, and from the secluded light and different roads to the coexistence of humans and ghosts, each other has begun to follow the local customs. At the same time, you are like a closed mountain, and the Luoyou Mountain forces the Qi practitioners of the Fox Country to concentrate on practicing Taoism.
In ten years, when I open my door and go out again in the future, my level of cultivation will be high. From traveling in twos, twos, or threes in the early days, to going out alone in the future, there will be fewer surprises during this period."
"In the final analysis, Young Master treats all of you Fox Clan as living people. Otherwise, you think that Young Master really doesn't know that the plan I proposed has more advantages than disadvantages. It's just that in Young Master's opinion, this 'disadvantage'
, there are often dozens of lives of the fox clan, which can be saved with the words 'wait and see', and the short-term benefits are bound to be smaller."
"To put it simply, the young master cares more about your fox country than you, the leader of the fox country."
Peixiang sighed quietly, "The mountain master is determined."
Zhu Lian looked indifferent and said: "It is better to turn from mild to strong kindness, and from strong to weak, it will turn into hatred. Punishment should be changed from severe to lenient, first lenient and then harsh, and then complain about its cruelty."
"So the next sect is located in Tongyezhou, with Cui Dongshan as the first sect leader instead of Cao Qinglang. If the young master returns to Luopo Mountain to practice, I may be the happiest person out there."
Zhu Lian was silent for a moment, looked up at the night, and said with a smile: "The more we have hope for the world and the more goodwill we give, the more we will care whether the world reciprocates goodwill or malice.
The more tired you become.”
"If you think it doesn't matter, then maybe this is a kind of spiritual practice."
Zhu Lian raised his palm, stretched out his hand to grab it, and clenched his fist, "There are only two kinds of strong people in the world."
"What have I gained from this world? Either it is ambitious, awe-inspiring, and done in a right way, leaving a name in history, or it can be cunning and ruthless in a fierce fight for wealth and fame. The difficulty will be mine. I won't make it difficult. Who dares?
Xingzhi."
Zhu Lian raised his other hand and waved it outward slightly.
"What have I paid for this world? If you are poor, you will be alone. If your reputation does not show your immortality, you will turn on the light to read articles. If you are successful, you will help the world. If you want to achieve great deeds, you will suffer for yourself and slowly become poorer.
Walking on the ice.”
Finally, Zhu Lian was stunned and said something strange.
"Young master, master, young master... lending money is like giving, and collecting debts is like asking for money."
The meeting of the Jise Peak Patriarch Hall will be held at Si Shi.
Today at 11 o'clock in the morning, the square is indeed a bit deserted compared to before, which is attributed to Cui Dongshan.
There are only Chen Ping'an, the mountain lord, Zhu Lian, the chief steward, Chang Ming, the chief steward, and Wei Wenlong of the Quan Mansion.
The right protectors are Zhou Mili, Chen Nuanshu, Chen Lingjun, Xiaomo, Guo Zhujiu and Peixiang.
There is also Wei Bo, a tiger who is recognized as wearing the same pants as Luo Luo Shan.
The uninvited Xie Gou and the white-haired boy with the pseudonym Konghou were also present, standing next to Guo Zhujiu, who was yawning.
In addition, the person who was not called to participate in the discussion today was the gatekeeper Xianwei. In fact, the Taoist Xianwei had never entered the Luopo Mountain genealogy. As for Zhao Shuxia, he was still practicing boxing in the bamboo building.
There are also Zhao Luan, Cen Yuanji, Zhang Jiazhen, the long-lived direct disciple Nalan Yudou, Kong Hou's apprentice Yao Xiaoyan, Shi Rou and Zhou Junchen from the New Year's Shop in Qilong Lane, Zhao Denggao and Tian Jiu'er from Caotou Shop.
Chen Pingan first introduced Gao Jun and Zhong Qian, and then introduced the identities of the people in Luopo Mountain to them.
Both Gao Jun and Zhong Qian looked a little embarrassed. After all, it was their first time to see with their own eyes the group of true immortals who were so-called "ranked in the immortal class" in the books on the wonders of the blessed land.
The Patriarch of Luolu Mountain is actually a woman with a long life. I don’t know whether it is her name or her Taoist title. She is extremely tall and slender, and she habitually smiles with squinting eyes.
Wearing a snow-white robe and a gold ring in his earrings, the god Wei Bo, the Lord of Beiyue Mountain, said that he welcomed Gao Lord and Zhong Qian to visit Piyun Mountain.
The little girl in black with two sparse yellowish eyebrows and a cotton bag slung across her body is the protector of Luolu Mountain. The girl in a pink skirt with gentle eyebrows wished two guests a blessing.
The boy in Tsing Yi who liked to throw down his sleeves when walking was named Chen Lingjun and his Taoist name was Jingqing. He hesitated to speak, but finally nodded with a straight face and did not ask about the other person's realm.
The young man in a yellow hat and blue shoes has a soft expression and a slight smile. According to Chen Shanzhu's introduction, Xiao Mo is a "sword cultivator". Next to him is a girl in a mink hat with rosy cheeks.
A white-haired boy holding a book in his arms, although he is a disciple of the outer sect, claims to be the genealogist of Luopo Mountain, so he was able to attend the meeting today and record the proceedings.
The last person introduced was the girl with the inkstone hanging from her waist, named Guo Zhujiu, who was Chen Ping'an's direct disciple.
After that, the auspicious time arrived. Under the leadership of Chen Pingan, everyone filed into the Jise Peak Patriarch Hall. Gao Jun keenly discovered that there seemed to be no order. Everyone was very casual. For example, Zhang Lu Changming and Wei Shanjun
Walking at the end, the white-haired boy who was a handyman disciple followed Chen Ping'an, and the girl in the mink hat, whose name was very... casual, actually just stopped at the door, waved goodbye to Xiao Mo, and said that she
Just waiting outside, Chen Pingan said that you can listen in today. Xie Gou immediately stretched out his hand to support the mink hat and straightened his clothes. Gao Jun only felt a sense of ritual in this girl.
The atmosphere is probably due to the fact that Xie Gou is not very advanced and has relatively little experience?
However, there were still rules for the seating arrangement in the Patriarch Hall, which made Gao Jun seem to realize something.
Chen Nuanshu took the incense stick, and Chen Pingan took the lead in offering incense. After that, they each took their seats. Because Gao Jun and Zhong Qian were outsiders for the time being, there was no need to offer incense with the three hanging portraits.
Gao Jun found his position, which was near Wei Bo. Opposite him sat the Xie Gou who was discussing something unusual, sitting upright with a solemn expression.
Zhong Qian sat next to Zhu Lian and Peixiang.
The little girl in black looked longingly at Zhang Lu Changsheng, her expression was gentle, she narrowed her eyes and nodded.
Then Zhou Mili began to open the cotton bag and distribute the melon seeds. Chen Lingjun helped Nuanshu bring tea and water, and took the initiative to pass the teacup to Wei Bo. He smiled brightly and spoke of Brother Wei's hard work.
The backer is not with Wei Shanjun, but the master is at home, Brother Wei.
The first thing is to make up for Guo Zhujiu’s apprenticeship ceremony and name in the genealogy.
According to Chen Ping'an's idea, just drink a bowl of apprenticeship tea. However, after Guo Zhujiu handed over the apprenticeship tea, he knelt down and kowtowed without saying anything, and there was a loud "bang bang" sound.
Nuanshu and Zhou Mili had already moved tables and chairs, and prepared pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Chen Pingan personally wrote Guo Zhujiu's name and place of birth on the genealogy.
The second thing is to announce that Zhong Qian will serve as the guest secretary of Luo Po Mountain. This time, the manager Chang Ming is sitting at the table and is responsible for writing and recording names.
Next, Chen Ping'an proposed that Kong Hou be the monk who compiles the chronology of Luo Po Mountain. This means that according to the rules of the mountain, Hong Hou will automatically be included in the long life lineage of Zhang Lu.
So Chen Ping'an added a sentence and asked Kong Hou if he was willing.
The white-haired boy seemed to have been slapped, with a face full of reluctance. If he agreed in a daze, he would be working as an errand under the hands of Changshou. If he walked out of the gate of the ancestral hall, how could a master have the face to meet a disciple like Yao Xiaoyan?
Long life squints and smiles.
Chen Pingan turned around and asked with a smile: "Palace Master Wei, what do you mean?"
"Whether it's following the old customs on the mountain, or whether Luolu Mountain is making an exception specifically for Taoist monk Konghou, I have no objection."
Wei Wenlong also had a look of helplessness on his face. Ever since his master came to Luolu Mountain, Lord Yin Guan had "honored" him as Palace Master Wei every time they met.
Chen Ping'an looked at Zhang Lu Changshou, and she smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Konghou, as long as you are happy, I don't care whether you become a monk of the Zhang Lu lineage or not."
The white-haired boy complained endlessly that he would not join the Zhanglu family. I am happy, but I am also worried.
Most people don't know that even Pei Qian once said that the person in Luopo Mountain who should not be provoked the most is this Zhang Lu who smiles all year round.
"Since there are no additional ideas, there is no need for Honghou to join the Zhanglu lineage."
Chen Ping'an did not continue to embarrass Konghou. They had already given him a boxing manual, so it was not too much to change the music editor.
The third thing is that Luo Luo Shan is planning to purchase the surrounding new hills.
The Longquan Sword Sect has completely withdrawn from Chuzhou territory, and several mountaintops have been moved away by the tiger Wei Bo using his natal magical power, creating a huge lake that has not yet been named.
Clouds and mist rose in the meeting hall, and a landscape painting of the mountains to the west appeared on the ground.
Zhong Qian only felt that it was an eye-opener. How could he still act like this?
Gao Jun's eyes lit up and he thought quickly. It seemed that his Hushan Sect and the Songlai Kingdom's imperial court, which already had many Qi practitioners, could copy this move?
While eating melon seeds, Chen Lingjun stared at the Piyun Mountain and giggled to himself. I just didn't have enough money in my pocket, otherwise I could just buy the top of Brother Wei's mountain.
Wei Bo held the tea cup and looked at the silly and cheerful Uncle Chen with a smile.
Chen Lingjun noticed Wei Shanjun's gaze and immediately stopped eating melon seeds. His eyes wandered away from Piyun Mountain.
Wei Wenlong glanced at Mr. Yin Guan, and Chen Pingan nodded lightly. Wei Wenlong then stood up and walked into the clouds, introducing the historical origins, spiritual energy and various mountain treasures of nearly sixty mountains one by one. Each mountain,
Except for a very few special hills in Longji Mountain that have absolutely no possibility of being purchased, each of the others has a rough valuation. The purchase method is not complicated either. One is to buy Luopo Mountain directly with fairy money. As long as the other party is willing to sell, the price will be the same.
All can be discussed. The second is to exchange things for land. If there is a gap with the other party's psychological expectations, Luo Luoshan will use various heavenly materials, earthly treasures, spiritual weapons and magic weapons to make up for the difference. The last one is to let the other party do it by themselves.
Make an offer, Luo Lo Shan weighs the pros and cons, and considers whether to buy according to the circumstances. The three methods, the only purpose is that buying and selling cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness, do not force it, nothing is inevitable, you must get the top of the mountain that Luo Lo Shan has in your pocket. After that
, Wei Wenlong began to report his wealth to the treasury. This is why the palace master asked Lord Yinguan from his heart before. It involves secrets. After all, the master of the Hushan Sect is an outsider and cannot be leaked easily.
Nowadays, the source of income of Luolu Mountain mainly comes from three trade routes. The first financial route of Luolu Mountain created by Chen Pingan is mainly located in Beiju Luzhou, Gugutan Pima Zong, Chunlu Garden, Caique Mansion, and Yunshang
Within the city, the route covering the entire southeastern boundary of Beiju Luzhou is like an arc, plus a group of fairy islands on the sea. Among them, the robes woven by Caique Mansion are the most considerable and stable income.
The Dali Imperial Court of Aquarius Continent and the various landscape gods of Beiju Luzhou are both major purchasers. The second horizontal trade route mainly runs along Jidu, including Duckweed Sword Lake and Dragon Palace Cave Sky, and was later added
Lingyuan Gong Shen Lin and Longting Marquis Li Yuan, as well as the Chongxuan Department Yunxiao Palace of the Dayuan Dynasty. In addition, there is also a third route with Sanjiang Waters of Hongzhu Town, Dongshuijing, Fan Family and Sun Jiashu of Old Dragon City.
In addition, there are also commissions from various Xianjia ferries docking at Niujiaoshan Ferry. As for the income from the two shops at Baofengzhai and Qilongxiang at the ferry, they can be ignored for the time being.
Not to mention. Then there is the Lotus Root Blessed Land, which is the bottleneck of the upper-class ranks. It also has a fox kingdom that was once the most important source of wealth for the Xu family in Qingfeng City. The things Luopo Mountain picked from the Lotus Root Blessed Land came into being and took advantage of the trend.
There are not many treasures at the moment.
After having the Qingping Sword Sect as a subordinate sect, according to Haoran Tianxia's old rules, the Qingping Sword Sect needs to take out at least 20% to 30% of its income and hand it over to Luopo Mountain on a regular basis.
For example, on the Inkstone Mountain in Jiang's Cloud Cave Blessed Land, the Qingping Sword Sect has a 50-50 split with the Jiang Sect. Although the Luopo Mountain and the Qingping Sword Sect are related by upper and lower sects, they still have to settle the accounts openly as brothers.
Without these "financial paths" to make money, Emperor Song He would not be so sincere and take the initiative to invite Chen Ping'an to serve as the Grand Master of Dali.
The level of one's realm, the size of one's fame, and the amount of one's status all lie in the word "fulfilment."
