Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 1373
Dark clouds cover the moon, and in the remote mountain forest, a ray of light shoots down, revealing the figure of a thin, white man. There, there are already several people waiting for him.

Seeing him coming, they all went up to greet him. An elderly man with white beard said, "How are you doing? Have you seen Tangning? How can he say something?"

"I haven't seen it, but I have handed over the carefully selected gift to him."

A middle-aged woman with high cheekbones couldn't help raising her voice, and said sharply in surprise: "You gave him such a precious bunch of treasures before you met him. Don't you know the current financial situation of this sect? If he doesn't agree with what to do, wouldn't it be a waste of money? Where can I gather so many valuables?"

The man said in a deep voice: "I don't want the child to be tied to the wolf. At this point, there is no other way. We can only pin our hopes on him. Besides, do you have any better ways?"

The old man said: "Lu Xun is right. We can only pin our hopes on this person. He is not only the head of the Qingzhou coalition army stationed in Fanyang City, but also has a deep background in the Qingzhou coalition army and Taixuanzong, and has outstanding abilities. If he is willing to Benzong argues and says something nice, and the chances of Benzong being accepted back to Qingzhou Allied Forces will be greatly increased."

……

A few days passed in a flash. In the meeting hall where Fan Yangcheng's column was stationed, Tang Ning, Fang Jing, and Wang Qi gathered in a room, discussing the distribution plan of the spirit stones.

All ministries have reported the amount of spirit stones mined this month. In just one month, more than 70 top-grade spirit stones have been mined, and more than [-] top-grade spirit stones have been mined.

Fanyang City is rich in cultivation resources, with four top-grade spiritual mines and 96 top-grade spiritual mines.

Due to the recovery of lost land, so far, these are still unclaimed lands and can be excavated by the coalition forces.

This is due to insufficient manpower. The column currently has more than 6000 people, who are assigned to various pavilion cities. Each pavilion city only has more than 200 people. On average, one pavilion city has three high-grade spiritual mines. In addition, Tang Ning will have most of the people. They were sent to the top-grade Ling mining area to dig for spiritual stones, so there were not many mining personnel in each high-grade Ling mine.

"Hurry up and recruit people. It won't be too long before various forces in Fanyang City will come to take over the area under its resource jurisdiction. We don't have much time left," Tangning pointed at the file.

These unowned lands in Fanyang City originally belonged to various sects and families, most of them followed the coalition army southward and belonged to the coalition formation. There are also areas under the jurisdiction of the Taixuanzong, the Jiang family, and the Nether Sea Organization.

Now that Changshan County has been lost and recovered, all forces will definitely request the coalition forces to return their territories. This is a matter of course. The coalition forces cannot always occupy these alliance territories and exploit them wantonly.

"I've already searched for people everywhere, Fellow Daoist Tang, when do you plan to send someone to deliver the share that was handed over to the Legion?"

"Does Fellow Daoist Wang have any suggestions?"

"It took a lot of time to go back and forth. I think it's better to send the spirit stones to Changshan County in three months' time."

"Then we need to send someone to say hello to the legion first, otherwise the master uncle may blame us for not paying the offerings for a long time."

"It just so happens that I have some personal matters. If I want to leave, let me go to Changshan County to explain the situation to Senior Wang and Senior Duan!"

"Wang Daoyou is leaving the headquarters, when will he return?"

"I will definitely come back within two or three months."

"Okay! Then please ask Fellow Daoist Wang to go to Changshan County on behalf of the headquarters, lest I send people back and forth again."

.........

After the discussion was over, the three of them left. Tang Ning returned to the cave. As soon as she entered the inner room, she was greeted by a man who bowed and saluted: "Master, uncle, a monk from Lu Xun outside asked to see him for something important. "

Sure enough, they came again. Tangning remained calm and kept walking, "Please wait in the reception room for a while."

"Yes." The man left in response, and before it was time for a cup of tea, he came to the main room again, saluted and said: "Master Uncle, Senior Lu has arrived."

"En." Tangning didn't open her eyes, she just responded indifferently, and the man backed away without a sound. After a long time, he got up and left the house unhurriedly.

Since Huang Longzong wanted something from him, he still had to put up his airs. If he was too enthusiastic, it would be difficult to ask for conditions.

In the spacious and bright hall, a thin and white man was sitting and waiting, looking out of the stone gate from time to time, hearing the sound of footsteps, his anxious expression relaxed, he straightened his collar, and sighed lightly. He took a breath, with a faint smile on his face.

Soon, the stone door was pushed open, and the man had already stood up, standing sideways on the left side behind the door, like a servant who had been waiting for a long time, Jishou saluted and said: "Junior Lu Xun has seen Senior Tang."

Tang Ning took her seat and waved her hand: "Friend Lu, you have been waiting for a long time. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, senior." Lu Xun thanked him, but his body still bowed slightly, with a flattering smile on his face: "Senior is famous, and this junior has already heard it well. Today, it is the luck of this junior's life to see the demeanor of senior."

Tangning took out a storage bag in her hand, which was exactly the one she asked Gao Yuan to hand over: "Fellow Daoist Lu, I gave you such a heavy gift when we first met. What's the point?"

"Mere courtesy, what a shame! The younger generation and my father have admired the prestige of the senior for a long time, and wished to meet him for a long time, but regretted that they missed it. Today, being able to look up at the majesty of the senior is enough to comfort the longing thoughts. What is a little foreign thing worth mentioning?"

"Tang has lived in Donglai County for a long time, and since he came to Pingyuan County, he has never had any contact with the heroes of this county. The words that Lu Daoyou has admired for a long time are probably exaggerated! Tang is only a small foot in the coalition army, how can he be famous?"

"Senior, why should we be too modest? Senior killed the descendants of the Qingjiao royal family in Xiaosheng City and became famous in one battle. Who among the monks in Changshan County knows this? The Qingjiao royal family is known as the strongest bloodline in the world, but was killed by senior in adversity. Even we and others What an honor! Every time my father brings this up, he always sighs, wishing he could have a drink with his seniors."

Tang Ning remained calm. It seemed that Huang Longzong had a clear understanding of his identity. They didn't come to him just because of his status as the head of the coalition army stationed in Fanyang City. They must have understood his relationship with Nangong Muxue. Knowing that he can speak in front of the high-level coalition forces, he gave a heavy gift before he even covered his face.

He tapped the storage bag on the desk with his fingers: "Tang has no relatives or reasons with the noble sect, but he has received such a generous gift from the noble sect. Take it back!"

Seeing that his attitude had been lukewarm, Lu Xun even returned the heavy gifts he had prepared at this time, obviously wanting to draw a line with them, his expression was obviously a little anxious, and he said repeatedly: "Some small things are admired by our sect." Senior's heart, please don't decline. My father has heard of senior's reputation for a long time, and wished not to get to know him. He heard that senior is stationed in this city, so he ordered me to prepare a little gift to present senior, hoping to make friends with senior."

Tang Ning raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said with a half-smile: "Friend of your noble sect, I dare not accept this title. If I accept this great gift, I am afraid that I will be accused of secretly communicating with the Mubei demon. The two armies are still fighting. Come, Fellow Daoist Lu is visiting as a guest today, so I won’t embarrass you. Take your things back, Fellow Daoist Lu, please take them back! I don’t dare to make friends with the Mubei demon."

Hearing this, Lu Xun's complexion changed, and he knelt down on his knees with a bang, saying: "The survival of our sect depends on the thought of the seniors, please show your kindness to save our sect from the fire and water, my sect is grateful, and in the future You must follow the lead of your predecessors."

"Why is Fellow Daoist Lu doing this, please get up!" Tangning waved her hand, and her spiritual power supported her body.

"I implore seniors to help, otherwise our sect will perish!"

Seeing that he was so sincere, Tangning no longer tried to put on a pretense, "Your Majesty asked me to help, I don't know what I can do for our Majesty?"

"Senior, if you can invite the coalition army to play, and say that our sect is willing to return to the coalition army, and then say a few good words for our sect, so that the coalition army can accept our sect again. Our sect is grateful for the kindness of seniors, and is willing to be an ox and a horse to repay the favor."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, if we had known this, why did we do it in the first place! Your sect belongs to the Allied Forces. If we had not surrendered to the Mubei Demon, we could have legitimately taken back the territory that was originally under your sect's jurisdiction."

"Because of our momentary fear, our sect was deceived by the Mubei demon, and finally realized it at this moment. I implore seniors to give our sect a chance."

"It's not that I don't want to help. The matter of the noble clan is not easy to handle! If this woman married twice and went back to her husband's house, would anyone still want to take it? During the civil strife in Qingzhou, the noble clan had already surrendered to the rebels, and the coalition forces ignored the past. , Accepted the noble sect. But now the noble sect has surrendered to the Mubei monster again, changing the family again and again, how can people believe in the sincerity of your family?"

"Our sect is well aware of the serious crimes, and only seniors can save us. As long as the Qingzhou coalition forces are willing to accept our sect again, even if we go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, our sect will never refuse." Lu Xun kept his head down, like a child who has done something wrong .

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I have a few questions, I hope I can tell you the truth."

"Seniors asked questions, but juniors answered truthfully, and never dared to hide anything."

"I heard that your sect has thousands of disciples. Where are they now?"

"To be honest, our sect only has a few hundred monks still following us, and they are all hiding in Fanyang City."

"Where is your father? Are you also in Fanyang City?"

"Yes, my father is guarding the place where our sect hides supplies."

"I don't understand. Since you have taken refuge in the Mubei demon, why don't you go with him? Maybe there is a chance that the Mubei demon will return to Changshan County in the future. Please forgive me, the noble sect is so swaying, it is not I'm worried that if the coalition forces don't accept you, then Guizong will really become a bereaved dog."

Lu Xun sighed deeply: "Don't dare to hide the truth from seniors. Since my sect took refuge in the Mubei demon, I deeply regretted it. I had the heart to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, but I never got a good chance. At the beginning, in order to protect the family business, my sect surrendered to the Mubei demon. , mainly for self-protection. After surrendering, I was able to hold on to this three-thirds of an acre of land, but I didn’t know that the demons in Mubei are as greedy as jackals and as poisonous as snakes and scorpions.”

"They accepted our sect's surrender on the surface, but they drove our mansion out of Fanyang City step by step. The original resources of our mansion were all divided up by the Mubei forces. Not only that, our sect's disciples were also forcibly recruited into its team, resulting in The casualties were heavy."

"In just a few decades, the resources under our original control have been eroded one by one by their internal forces, leaving less than [-] to [-]% for our own use."

"If your ministry does not regain Changshan County, it won't be long before even the [-]% to [-]% can be saved."
