The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

If Yang Lu's deduction is correct, then what happened next seems to be a reversal of what happened in the past.

The three Ascension Immortals who set off from the Kyushu cultivation world, with the help of the heritage that the ancient spiritual civilization brought to the Kyushu cultivation world, brought civilization to the remnants of the ancient spiritual clan in the wild wasteland, and established a new way of heaven for them, and Martial Emperor Manghuang was originally a remnant and witness of the ancient civilization, so naturally he would not jump out to oppose these Ascension Immortals who inherited the heritage of the ancient Spirit Race civilization...

Until here, this inference can explain almost all the problems Yang Lu discovered.

However, there are several serious problems in the whole set of inferences. The biggest bug is the Ascension Immortal Lu Yang who came to the Manghuang Territory, because this person is by no means a descendant of the ancient spirit civilization, but a serious Chinese-speaking earth fellow!

Every time he reasoned to this point, Yang Lu felt extremely depressed.

Obviously he felt that his deduction was already perfect, but there was a problem in the key place, which turned all the previous reasoning into a joke. This kind of frustration is really uncomfortable.

However, Yang Lu really can't think of other possibilities, and he can only hope that President Lu Yang's legacy, or that Mo Yunlan and Tian Daxiao can provide him with additional clues...

Seeing that Yang Lu had no new problems, Wang Ziwei prepared to take his ancestors to say goodbye.

Although there should be no clues in Qishan Prison for the time being, after all, this matter involves most of the hegemonic sects in Kyushu, and there may be some changes. Wang Ziwei should have his own intelligence network, and he also needs to track the seven major sects in time. To deal with the possible investigations initiated by the seven major factions.

Before leaving, Yang Lu also asked the other party how they should contact each other in the future.

However, Wang Ziwei said that they will take the initiative to contact Yang Lu when the time is right. After all, Yang Lu's identity is on the bright side, and they can secretly visit the door to establish contact at any time. If Yang Lu wants to contact Wang Ziwei urgently, he can Through the channel of Xu Yannan in Sea Cliff City.

As Li Qingyang's disciple, it is obvious that the relationship between Xu Yannan and Wang Ziwei is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

After sending Wang Ziwei away, only Yang Lu and Mingzhu were left in this uninhabited snowfield.Seeing that Mingzhu's face was calm and he didn't intend to speak at all, Yang Lu took the lead to ask: "Senior, do you have a place to go?"

Mingzhu laughed at himself and said, "When I was the deacon of the Wuliang Sword Sect in the foundation period, I still had some friends. It's a pity that hundreds of years have passed, and those old friends have already turned into loess. After I became the puppet of Feisheng Immortal, I beat People who deal with me basically want to get rid of me and hurry up, and I have nowhere to go!"

Yang Lu frowned: "But you don't seem worried!"

Mingzhu chuckled: "What do I need to worry about? I am a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, and even the Supreme Elders of the Seven Great Sects can beat me. As long as I don't want to be caught, I can Nobody can catch me!"

"Then how did you get caught in Qishan Prison?"

Hearing this, Mingzhu's face suddenly became a little uneasy: "Sneak attack, can it be called arrest? Back then, I was a serious law enforcement elder of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Who knew that Lin Jianxing and Mo Yunlan would join hands to attack me with martial virtues? What's more, I haven't cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm back then, otherwise even if it was a surprise attack, they would never have caught me!"

Seeing that Mingzhu's tone was not pleasant, Yang Lu immediately changed the subject and said, "Otherwise, you can consider coming to our Haiya City for a sit down?"

Ancestor Ming Zhu didn't even think about it, and immediately agreed: "Yes!"

Seeing that the other party was so happy, Yang Lu was a little confused: "Your old man is really relieved of me!"

"Hehe, it's not that I haven't been to Haiya City. I think Chen Kui, the ancestor of the Chen family in Haiya City, was..."

When mentioning the ancestors of the Chen family in Haiya City, Mingzhu seemed to think of some unbearable past events, and suddenly changed the topic very bluntly: "Forget it, the past is in the past, so don't mention what happened back then! You just need to know that I used to be the special trade representative of the Wuliangjian Sect in Haiya City, and I even won a special award from the Du Branch of the Wuliangjian Sect for my meritorious service in cracking down on the cross-border smuggling of spiritual stone coupons in Haiya City... "

Hearing this, Yang Lu couldn't help but wonder: "As far as I know, the biggest smuggler in Haiya City is Haiya faction himself!"

Mingzhu obviously didn't know the special relationship between Yang Lu and the Haiya faction, and said bluntly: "Yes, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce is involved in smuggling. This is almost an open secret in the cultivation world. However, it is also engaged in smuggling business. They will be called ocean trade tycoons, and goblins without backgrounds will be called illegal smugglers, and I will naturally attack those unlucky ghosts without backgrounds, such as that Chen Kui."

Chen Kui, the ancestor of the Chen family, is the founder of the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce in Haiya City. Even Yang Lu did not expect that Mingzhu had such a deep connection with Haiya City. Not only did he know the old ancestor of his senior brother Chen Ping , and even served as the special trade representative of Haiya City, which both Lu Anping and Yang Chenglong had served as.

It's just that Mingzhu seemed to have the attribute of "[-]% offending people around him" back then, and his relationship with Chen Kui, the ancestor of the Chen family, was obviously not very happy.

Seeing that Yang Lu didn't say a word for a long time, Mingzhu continued to show off: "I can tell you clearly that no one in the entire Wuliang Sword Sect knows the details of those profiteers in Haiya City better than me! I even know that the Haiya Sect I also hired overseas formation masters to build a large-scale mountain protection formation without telling the truth to the Wuliang Sword Sect. In order to seal my mouth, Haiya City Master Han Zhaohui personally gave me a huge amount of hush money. This is a big trick, and I want to take advantage of them so easily!"

Mingzhu originally wanted to show off his close relationship with the Haiya faction, but he didn't know that the Haiya faction today is completely different from what it was 200 years ago.

Yang Lu showed an embarrassed yet polite smile, and patiently explained: "Senior Ming doesn't know, the existence of this great formation has already been known by the Wuliang Sword Sect, not only that, as early as 200 years ago, Haiya The city lord has already changed. The current Haiya City lord is Jiang Huaan, head of the Jiang family. This person is more than five hundred years old this year, and you must have dealt with him before."

Mingzhu was slightly taken aback: "Of course I know Jiang Hua'an! When he participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference 500 years ago, I personally presided over it on behalf of the Wuliang Sword Sect. However, the owner of Han City is not much older than Jiang Hua'an, and his cultivation qualifications are better than Jiang Hua'an's." Well, there is no problem in cultivating to the late stage of Jindan, how could it be——" 200 years ago

200 years ago, the sudden disappearance of Han Zhaohui, the former lord of Haiya City and the old head of the Han family, was a turning point for the Han family in Haiya City to turn from prosperity to decline. .It is precisely because of the sudden disappearance of the most important pillar of the Han family that the high-ranking cultivators of the Han family are absent, which makes the Han family become the last of the four major Haiya families in recent years.

The biggest beneficiary of Han Zhaohui's disappearance is undoubtedly Jiang Hua'an, who was the deputy city lord of Haiya City at the time. There are also rumors that "Jiang Hua'an murdered Han Zhaohui in order to seize the city lord's position", but the other three families have never been able to find Jiang Hua'an. , which made the matter finally settle down.

After learning about Jiang Hua'an's special relationship with Ting He Yu Pavilion and foreign forces, Yang Lu has seriously suspected that this rumor is not just a joke, it is very likely to be the truth of history!
It's just that Yang Lu couldn't explain these things clearly to Mingzhu, who has been out of touch with society for 200 years, and could only put on a helpless expression of "it's the truth anyway".

Realizing that he no longer has any acquaintances in his old nest, Haiya City, Ming Zhu couldn't help but feel sad even though he had made some mental preparations.

However, in front of Yang Lu, Ming Zhu replied in an understatement: "It doesn't matter even if the owner of Haiya City is replaced, after all, I already know the strongest hidden hole card in the entire Haiya City. The power is not bad, but it is far inferior to the Dasen Luowanxiang Sword Formation, and there is no way to keep the Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Yang Lu didn't bother with this embarrassing topic for Mingzhu, and changed the subject: "The Chen family in Haiya City you just mentioned is also an important business ally of ours, but according to the official statement of the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce, their ancestors Chen Kui is clearly a legendary businessman with a unique vision, how did he become a smuggler in your words?"

Legendary businessman?

Hearing this title, Ming Zhu was obviously taken aback.

But he quickly came to his senses.

Under Yang Lu's astonished gaze, Mingzhu was furious on the spot, and said emotionally: "Fart! If it wasn't for that Chen Kui, I—"

It seemed that he had thought of something unspeakable, and Mingzhu hesitated for a long time before he could say a complete sentence, but he finally made up his mind and explained reluctantly: "Okay! I can tell you about this matter." No problem! You should know that in the era when Bo Nanke was in charge of the Wuliang Sword Sect, spirit stone coupons issued by various states could not be exchanged for each other. The smuggling business of spirit stone coupons is rampant in Haiya City, and Chen Kui is one of the smugglers I caught and brought to justice back then, all he did was beheading business!"

"Since this person has already been stolen, why did he transform into a business legend in Haiya City?"

"I haven't finished yet! After I caught him, I didn't kill him immediately. Instead, I developed him into my own informant, fishing and law enforcement for me, and arresting more smugglers. It's just that Fengyun later Suddenly, the credit of the Zhongzhou Lingshi coupons collapsed suddenly, and we disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect who had accumulated a large number of Lingshi coupons also suffered from it. In the precarious time, in order to prevent the Zhongzhou Lingshi coupons from becoming waste paper, I will Gritting my teeth, I sold these Lingshi coupons at a [-]% discount to Chen Kui, and asked him to sell them overseas for me. Unexpectedly, the Lingshi Reserve Bank announced the next day that it would sell the Lingshi coupons. The price of these Zhongzhou Lingshi coupons instantly Skyrocketed four times..."

Well, this is indeed a sad story.

It turns out that the first pot of gold of the wealthy Chen Family Chamber of Commerce in Haiya City was to cut leeks from the life savings of ancestor Mingzhu. However, since the ancestor of the Chen family has been reduced to a smuggler, he is obviously not a goblin with a background. It is impossible for the internal news channels of the Wuliang Sword Sect to be more informed than Ming Zhu, the inner sect deacon of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

No wonder Mingzhu had always insisted that it was the Lingshi Reserve Bank that made changes day and night, which caused his old man to lose everything.

It now appears that this accusation is not slander!

Knowing that Mingzhu Patriarch had such a deep connection with Haiya City, Yang Lu also understood why he followed him back to Haiya City.

Although 500 years ago, the ancestors of Mingzhu's old friends in Haiya City have long since withered, and even Jiang Hua'an, the majestic Lord of Haiya City, did not show the mountains and dew in those days. Su Yuanfeng and Han Xinhe were not even born, but the cultivation The cities in the world are like living fossils, and their appearance has hardly changed for hundreds of years.

Since Patriarch Mingzhu had served as a special trade representative stationed in Haiya City for a long time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is half of Haiya's hometown, and he knew the details of the Haiya faction's big formation, which proved from the side that he followed Sea Cliff City's extraordinary relationship.

You must know that when Lin Jianxing came to Haiya City in person, Jiang Hua'an had used that formation to stalemate with Lin Jianxing for a long time before Tian Daxiao, the head of the Shenhuo Sect, came to support him. The power of the Shan formation was shocked, but the ancestor Mingzhu knew the existence of this formation a long time ago...

Although Mingzhu's tone was very pretentious, he actually didn't completely hide his emotions.

Seeing Mingzhu's face is still young, but the lonely eyes of old people flashed in his eyes from time to time, Yang Lu couldn't help thinking of Li Qingyang's expression that he showed briefly before his death.

The deceased is like a husband who does not want to leave day or night.

This may be the unique sentiment of high-ranking monks in Kyushu!
And returning to the familiar sea cliff city is the best destination for Ming Zhu, an "ancient man" who has been isolated from the world for 200 years and has no relatives or friends alive!
But Yang Lu's emotion was only for a moment.

Considering that Mingzhu has common interests with himself, and the two parties have sworn to Tiandao to reach a cooperation, he can return to Haiya City, which will be of great benefit to Yang Lu's next actions.

After all, the bargaining chip for a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage is too heavy!
Even if Jiang Hua'an has the entire Tingheyu Pavilion Zhongzhou branch behind him, and he also controls the huge and intricate network of the Haiya family, the weight of these bargaining chips added up may not be worth a bright candle.

When the two sides meet again, the master-slave relationship between the Haiya Department and the Qingning Chamber of Commerce may undergo earth-shaking changes!
Seeing that Mingzhu was already immersed in long memories, Yang Lu did not interrupt him. When the other party slowly recovered, Yang Lu pointed at the distant skyline: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time! Since the predecessors have made Decided, then let's set off now, the Six Extreme Northern Sects are probably already anxious like ants on a hot pot, we have to avoid the limelight before we talk!"
