Infinite Brilliant Scroll

East China Sea, a small island.

Not far from the seaside is a fishing village. Every family in the village fishes for a living, making nets and drying them. Although the houses are simple, they are solid and not afraid of the sea breeze, warm in winter and cool in summer.

Traces of hard work can be seen everywhere in the village. It can be imagined that in the past, it must have been a lively scene of neighbors coming and going.

But today, most of the village's doors and windows are closed. Only around the house closest to the sea, there are a hundred people standing around, playing, playing, and carrying sedan chairs. It seems that they are welcoming relatives. The children ran and laughed, the elders shook hands and chatted, cried reluctantly, and laughed happily.

Suddenly, a strange scream came from the air, like an iron whistle blowing, piercing the joyous atmosphere.

A huge black shadow descended from the sky and flew in front of the house. Immediately, more than a dozen villagers were knocked out and flew out. The rest of the crowd screamed in fright and fled in all directions.

The black figure hovered in the air, revealing its whole body, with a sheep's head and antlers, four claws, wide wings, and a mouth full of fangs, and it held the corpse of a villager in its mouth.

As soon as the monster raised its head, the corpse was swallowed whole by it. Not satisfied, it threw itself down again, its four claws caught on the roof, and its wings flapped violently.

With a loud bang, the entire roof was blown off by it.

The sky was bright and shone into the house, but only for a moment, the monster's body, which was about the size of the house, circled back again, and the black shadow covered the whole house.

The bride in the room looked up, her face paled, and she was stunned.

The monster made that piercing whistling sound again, seemed very happy, and stretched out its head to bite the bride.

"Gah!

Suddenly, it screamed and kicked with four claws, the broken house it kicked completely collapsed, and its body rose into the air, only to see a sword stuck in its throat, bleeding profusely.

Just when the dilapidated house collapsed, the strong wind blew up, and the surrounding villagers who were fleeing in all directions suddenly turned into palm-sized paper figurines and were blown into the air by the wind.

The paper figurines flew like snow, and a seemingly simple and honest village man made a formula with both hands, muttered something, and pointed to the air: "Explosion!"

There was a muffled explosion from the monster's stomach, and the corpse that had just been swallowed by it also turned into a paper man, and then exploded.

This monster has a strong body, and the explosion in its stomach failed to kill it, but it also made it scream again and again, a puff of thick smoke came out of its throat, and it turned around and wanted to run away.

The simple and honest man manipulated other paper figurines and wanted to pursue them, but the paper figurines were blown by the strong wind blown by the monster's wings, unable to catch up.

At this moment, a golden net opened in the air, and four figures flew up, grabbed the four corners of the golden net, each of them had enough internal energy, and fell down.

The force of this fall is more than tens of thousands of catties?

The monster was already injured, but was tied up with a gold net, and it was inconvenient to flap its wings. It was immediately dragged back to the ground by these four people.

A silver spear flew over and pierced the top of the monster's head, between the two antlers.

The head of the gun turned, and sparks splashed everywhere, piercing through the skull that was harder than refined steel.

The man with the gun stabbed down and finally nailed the monster to the ground.

Inside the ruins, the pillars of the door board flew around, and the bride jumped out, shouting hurriedly: "What, what's the matter, have you killed this fainting bird?"

When she came close, she saw the silver spear piercing through the head of the fainting bird, she was relieved, squatted down, flipped it around, and pulled out her own sword from the strange bird's neck.

The body of the sword was covered with dirty blood, and the snow-white blade was only soaked in the blood of this strange bird for a short while, and there were already many traces of rust.

The bride felt sorry for the sword, and took out a piece of cloth to wipe the sword, but she cursed happily: "This fainting bird, who only flies to eat people when people have weddings, is really an evil animal! It is worthwhile for us to investigate for half a month and carefully set up an ambush!" , finally get rid of this scourge."

The simple and honest man had already received the paper figurine, quickly took out a jade bottle, moved it to the wound of the strange bird to collect the poisonous blood, and said with a smile: "Not only does it have one harm, but this kind of monster is full of treasures, with sharp wings and claws, and poisonous blood." Blood poisonous hearts and bones can be ground into powder, and the pigments used to make talismans will surely sell for a good price if sent to Wanchuan Haiji."

The four men who grabbed the gold net just now are of different ages, but they are all dressed up and their faces are full of wind and frost.

Among them, the oldest one looked at the oldest one, and said with a smile: "Sixth brother and seven sisters, you two are the quickest brains. The sixth brother turns into a paper figurine. The movement of people can attract this scourge."

Seventh Sister kicked the strange bird, shook her head and said, "Second brother is just kidding my little sister, I can't kill this little trick of my own heresy in the end, if it wasn't for big brother to take action, I'm afraid it would be hard to tell. "

Hong Yufang, who was called the eldest brother, was much younger than the second brother in appearance, as if he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a calm demeanor, he drew out his silver gun and said, "Take the corpse of this monster and leave quickly."

The sixth younger brother smiled and said, "Brother is afraid of being surrounded by the villagers, thank you."

He took out a paper boat and threw it to the sea. The paper boat fell on the water and turned into a ten-foot-long black wooden boat.

The seven brothers and sisters picked up the corpse of the strange bird, boarded the boat and went away.

Hong Yufang also left five jade coins in front of the ruined house as compensation.

As soon as they left, the villagers rushed out to poke their heads out, and gathered on the seashore to look at the dead body of the strange bird on their boat.

"It's the monster that ate my sister, really that monster!"

A fisherman shouted, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed to the sea, and the villagers immediately shouted, thank you very much.

The seven brothers and sisters cast a spell, and the boat speeded up.Like a sharp arrow, it breaks through the waves and goes away.

The sixth brother sighed: "I heard someone call us gods, alas, what kind of gods are we, even the eldest brother has not reached the realm of Sanxian."

Seventh Sister wiped her sword, and she also yearned a little: "If you are a Sanxian, if you encounter this kind of monster, you can kill it as soon as you raise your hand."

The second brother said: "Wanchuan Haiji has been reopened. With our savings and this strange bird, it is enough to exchange some spirit storage pills and jade liquid Qingmai powder. At that time, we can also reach the realm of refining Qi." Ninth level, big brother might even be able to touch Sanxian's side."

Lao Wu was dark-skinned and had broad palms. He was putting away the golden net and wrapped it around his waist, and said, "In my opinion, don't change all the pills. Our storage bag is too small. We should change it to a bigger one." some more."

They all have storage bags, and the reason why they put this strange bird on the boat is because their storage bags are simply not enough to store the body of the entire fainting bird.

And if the corpse is divided now, the price will definitely be discounted when it arrives in Wanchuan Haiji.

The third child agrees with this, but the fourth child has other ideas: "This time, if we don't buy pills, is it enough to buy a complete exercise at the Sanxian level?"

After saying this, everyone was very excited.

The grades of the exercises they cultivated were not high, and some of them were still incomplete. They only had the internal training part, no external magical powers, and all their means were patchwork.

If it can be changed to a complete exercise, the foundation is changed, and several people verify each other, it will definitely be more promising.

"Don't worry about the exercises."

Hong Yufang pondered for a while, and said, "Wanchuan Haiji originally had three senior earth immortals, who were enough to form a whole by themselves, regardless of the faces of outsiders, but now, it is the two seniors who refine tools and alchemy and cultivate strange flowers. Things, when we return to the Wanchuan Haiji trade, it may not be as easy as before."

Seventh Sister snorted coldly and said, "I don't believe that Senior Lin is such a monster. How many casual cultivators in the East China Sea have eaten the pills he made, and nothing went wrong. On the contrary, if there are no pills with reasonable prices, we will These casual cultivators, I'm afraid they've already fallen in some level."

"How can we explain the matter between the immortals and the masters, let's not mention it."

Hong Yufang sighed, and said, "I'm only worried, in case Wanchuan Haiji's prices and rules are the same as those of the Jinghai Chamber of Commerce and Qibao Chamber of Commerce, let's..."

He didn't continue, "When we arrive at Wanchuan Haiji, let's talk about it after we have really seen it."

After saying these words, the seven of them looked a little dull and practiced silently.

Three days later, the ship finally arrived at Wanchuan Haiji.

Among those large and small fleets, this ship is very inconspicuous, but the Faint Bird has attracted the attention of many merchants on board.

Before they landed, someone had already come to talk to them.

Hong Yufang and the others have been active in the East China Sea for more than ten years. Although their names are not very famous, they are familiar faces among these small caravans.

Soon they found a few acquaintances, took the paper boat, boarded the big boat, chatted, and inquired about the changes in Wanchuan Haiji.

To their surprise, the rules of Wanchuan Haiji this year have not changed.

"...Well, it's actually a bit strange to say."

The boatman whispered about Kong Leaning the railing to summon them, and all the goods in the future would be re-appraised and priced by the Sima family.

"I didn't expect that afterward, the Ten Thousand God Physician went to the island to borrow the stove, and it seemed that something changed. Anyway, the old man Kong disappeared, and the matter of re-pricing was ignored. It seemed that the previous rules were followed by default."

Hong Yufang, the seven of them, heard several changes in their expressions, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The sixth brother said: "It seems that we acted faster this time, maybe when they will remember this and change it back."

The boatman smiled: "That's the truth. To tell you the truth, although everyone was a little worried about this matter at first, but after I really didn't mention it, some people secretly took the initiative to find people from the Sima family. Woolen cloth."

After all, there are many "smart people" among the merchants. When the Sima family really dominates the East China Sea and holds the power of pricing, some people will suffer and work hard, but some can take advantage of this shareholder's style and become ministers of the dragon.

Smart people thought they had seen through why the Sima family was anticlimactic in this matter. They clearly gave time to see who among all the merchants were smart enough to surrender early enough.

When the boatman said this, Hong Yufang and others also had this kind of suspicion.

The boatman looked at his words and said: "Then how about selling this bird to me directly? Don't worry, how many years have we been friends? The price I will give must be fair."

After selling the body of the fainting demon bird and clearing some of the inventory in the storage bag, Hong Yufang and the others hurried to the island to find the elixir they were looking for, and bought it immediately.

After getting the pill, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were no longer so worried, but they were worried about next year again.

This year the rules barely changed, what about next year?

In the next few days, they did not leave in a hurry, and decided to stay in Wanchuan Haiji to see the direction of the wind.

Hong Yufang rented a booth, and sold some old antiques that the seven brothers and sisters got from their wanderings in the sea with no apparent use, mixed with a few incomplete instruments and exercises, and sold them at a low price.

A few days later, a steward from Wanchuan Haiji suddenly approached them.

"Donghai Academy?"

The seven brothers and sisters chatted with the steward for a long time, and when they learned that there was an immortal master who was about to establish a new sect, they decided to recruit some casual cultivators from the East China Sea to help manage the sect's affairs at the beginning of the establishment of the sect.

"I don't know where there is a place that can use the seven of us?"

The steward said: "If you want to establish a sect, of course you must know people and be good at their duties. If you go, the positions you will be assigned must be what you are good at, and the salary will be generous."

Before the words were finished, the steward had already taken out a bag of jade money, and said, "Someone will arrange jobs for you in Xuanran Garden. As long as you are willing to go, I can give you half a month's salary today."

Hong Yufang took it, slightly startled: "It's Lingyu, seventy Lingyu coins."

Practitioners below Sanxian usually use Wen Yuqian the most.

For them, if they were willing to do so, the Wanfa Spiritual Jade Coin could almost be used as a elixir to increase mana.

The seven brothers and sisters worked hard to save for more than half a year before they could afford the batch of pills. The total value was about 150 Lingyu coins.

If you join this new sect, one month's salary can basically be worth the harvest of working hard and taking risks in killing monsters in the first half of the year? !
Although the seven people were full of suspicion, they decided to take a look.

When they arrived at Xuanran Garden, hundreds of people had already gathered in Xuanran Garden, and everyone's expressions were a bit disturbed.

It's normal for some immortals to establish a new sect.

But now Wanchuan Haiji is in the purse of the Sima family. They came to this place to discuss the establishment of the sect. Where is the mountain gate going to be located?

Could it be that the Sima family is hiding their ears and stealing the bell, and is preparing to support a puppet called a new sect, but it is actually a first-class bandit, helping the Sima family to do things that cannot be seen on the stage?

Hong Yufang observed everyone and shook his head secretly.

Neither.

He has seen a lot of rogues. What this kind of people want is to kill people like hemp, come and go like the wind, and have no family to drag them down.

When supporting rogues, who would find a group of low-cultivation small merchants to mix in?

Even among these hundreds of people, many of them are old, low-cultivation figures, who have basically given up continuing to practice hard and just want to provide for their lives.

Hong Yufang saw a few old men known as the "Four Friends of South Bridge". They reclaimed wasteland on the small island, enjoyed farming and reading, and taught some basic skills to the children of the people on the island.

Every year when they go to Wanchuan Haiji, these people just trade the spiritual grain grown by themselves for some lowest-level monster flesh and blood, and go back to satisfy their appetite.

The generous salary can make these old men tempted to come over to see what the new sect looks like, but it is impossible to let these old men run to become rogues.

Not long after, someone climbed onto the high platform. He was imposing and didn't try to hide it. He was indeed a master of the earth.

Yuan Taixi looked around and said, "I know a thing or two about your reputation. Now that you're here, you must be somewhat curious about Donghai Academy, so I'll get straight to the point."

"Whoever establishes a sect, in addition to preaching and teaching, must also have his own property. The purpose of recruiting everyone is to help take care of the sect's business."

"However, everyone comes from different backgrounds, and I'm afraid they don't have the experience of working together. If you want to manage the industry well, you must first find a place to try your hand and get used to it."

"My Taoist brother who wants to start a school, chatted with the Sima family, and decided to take the Wanchuan Haiji first, and give everyone a try."

Yuan Taixi said it lightly, and said something that made everyone dumbfounded.

"Next, the Sima family will send various stewards to Wanchuan Haiji to hand over to you, and assign duties according to your strengths..."

………………

Two days later, Yuan Taixi came to the beach again.

"You really chose correctly. Although this group of people were skeptical, in the end, they all took over the post."

"After all, they are the first batch. They are all carefully selected and courageous people. In fact, the other two thousand people on your list can also be used, but it will take a while for them to get used to the situation in the East China Sea. Variety."

Guan Luoyang looked at the waves and said, "In a few days, after they get acquainted with things in Wanchuan Haiji, I will leave. I will take away all the Sima family members. You stay here and lead They manage Wanchuan Haiji."

Yuan Taixi also wanted to go, but he also knew that it would be safer for him to stay, and said in a deep voice: "But if we do this, it feels like our new sect is just a new chamber of commerce."

"Don't worry, this is just the first step."

Guan Luoyang said, "Let me take this opportunity first to see what the descendants of sects and sects in this world look like."

"Ha, I hope the Sima family will send out enough invitations."
