Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

Chapter 312 The Useless Traveler Wants to Go Home (10)

Beggars' Sect, inside the Juyi Hall.

Gang leader Xu Bin, deputy gang leader He Chengyuan, and a group of Nine Bags elders, each of them held a map of the Great Kyushu gold veins worth only one or two taels of silver.

My heart beat faster and I watched intently.

"Is this map real or fake? Is the world really that big? My Central Plains Nine Provinces are only the size of a palm."

The more Xu Bin read, the more he felt that his brain was not enough.

He really doesn't understand this.

I just feel that if the world is really as big as drawn in the Great Kyushu Gold Vein Map, then those emperors in the past who were so-called "ruling the world" and "all under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects" would be wrong.

It's just the arrogant words of a frog in a well.

"Boss, I remember that the so-called Great Nine Provinces was proposed by Zou Yan of Qi during the Warring States Period. He was a representative of the Yin-Yang School and the originator of the theory of the Five Elements. Today, dynasties are changing and the theory of the Five Elements cycle is being promoted.

It originated from him.

He believed that the Nine Provinces mentioned in "Yu Gong" were only a part of the world, a small Nine Provinces, named Chixian Shenzhou. There were eight other provinces that were the same as the Nine Provinces, namely the Middle Nine Provinces. In addition to the Middle Nine Provinces, there were eight other provinces that were the same as the Middle Nine Provinces. Only when the nine Middle Nine Provinces were combined into one could it be called the Great Nine Provinces.

The Great Kyushu is a complete world.

To put it simply, Zou Yan believed that the area of ​​the Central Plains and the Nine Provinces only accounted for one eighty-first of the entire world. "

"If this map is real, then what Zou Yan said about the Great Nine Provinces seems to be correct."

Law enforcement elder Du Qingyang immediately explained carefully.

He usually likes reading, so it's normal for him to know more.

"The ancient sages were truly knowledgeable. They knew thousands of years ago that the world was so vast. So, according to this, there is nothing wrong with this map, and the gold mines marked on it are also very likely to be real?"

Upon hearing that the Great Nine Provinces was proposed by the ancient sage Zou Yan, Xu Bin became even more convinced of its authenticity.

The gold and silver mines in the Song Dynasty belonged to the imperial court, and it was illegal to mine and smelt them illegally. However, the imperial court had no control over the mines outside the Song Dynasty. Looking at the gold mines on the map, Xu Bin felt his blood boiling. He wished he could go to the overseas gold mines and mine and refine the gold.

Their Beggars' Sect is really not rich. The title of the largest gang in the world depends entirely on the number of people. Now, they emptied their family's savings and only bought three Shengsheng Creation Pills. It is no comparison with Shaolin, which directly reserved fifty pills.

They were not capable of highway robbery, theft, or digging up ancient tombs from the Han and Tang dynasties, and were previously worried about how to make money. Then this gold mine map came along!

No matter what the purpose of Xuannv Sect is in doing this?
As long as the map is real, they dare to dig.

"Boss, it's hard to say. Just to draw a map of the Great Nine Continents is no small matter. The workload is huge, not to mention detecting where there are gold mines.

Even if the imperial court makes an effort, it will not be easy to accomplish this task, and it may take dozens or even hundreds of years.

The Xuannv Sect seems to have never undertaken a similar large-scale project.

It's impossible that the entire map, including the locations of the gold mines on it, was drawn and explored one by one by Ancestor Xuannu alone, right? "

The elder who teaches martial arts, Guo Huiyang, is still a little worried.

Because this matter is unreasonable no matter how you think about it, there is only one possibility to rationalize it, that is, the Xuannv Patriarch has now reached the level of being omniscient and omnipotent. Oh, no, she had already reached this level when she traveled around the world before.

Only then can we ensure that the Great Kyushu gold vein map is 100% accurate, or at least 80% to 90% accurate.

“I don’t think it’s likely to be a fake. There’s no need for the Xuannv Sect to do this. Besides, the dozen or so gold mines I know about are marked on the map, and the markings are quite accurate. So I think the most important thing for us now is not to question it, but to send someone to explore it.

If we are really sure that there are gold mines in those places marked as gold mines overseas, perhaps we may have to cooperate with the Cao Gang, or even directly merge with the Cao Gang.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have ships to transport people to sea for mining.”

Law enforcement elder Du Qingyang was very decisive. What's the point of arguing about the authenticity now? The most important thing is to verify it quickly. This map is public, and anyone can buy it for one or two silver coins. After others verify the authenticity, no matter whether it is true or false, it will be one step behind others.

There are so many people in their Beggars' Gang.

There is no fear of wasting manpower at all.

After some discussion, the leader of the Beggars' Sect and the other Nine Pockets elders finally made up their minds to take a gamble, regardless of whether the gold mine marked on the map was real or fake. If it was real, they would go all out to develop overseas. As for what if it was fake? They had no way to deal with it.

You can only blame yourself for your bad luck and waste of manpower and resources.

Similar situations, or similar conversations, not only occurred in some large gangs and sects, but also in some big families, big chambers of commerce, and even in the court. Everyone was discussing whether this map was true or false?

The difference is that some forces immediately and decisively set out to verify, and even directly prepared mining tools and mining personnel, intending to seize gold mines that are closer to their own forces, or to seize gold mines with higher gold content and total gold reserves marked on the map.

Others are still watching and waiting.

I want to see if others have gained anything.

Compared with other forces, the official Song Dynasty court actually still has great advantages. Not only can they mobilize more manpower and material resources, but the biggest advantage lies in the gold mines in the Song Dynasty that have not been discovered but are marked on the map. Other forces are not qualified to touch them, but the Song Dynasty court can dig them openly.

Therefore, while other forces were still buying ships and making preparations, the ships that were supposed to cross the ocean had not yet set off.

The Song Dynasty court had already confirmed the existence of the five gold mines and officially started mining and metallurgy. At the same time, Empress Dowager Liu E mobilized most of the court's forces, allowing the Maritime Customs Office to unite with the court navy to avoid places where there were already countries, and give priority to seizing those gold mining areas where there was no state system and only savages and indigenous peoples.

Others are too far away.

Some people were also sent to build huge ships in preparation for long voyages.

It has to be said that whether it is the Beggars' Sect, the largest gang in the underworld, or those so-called thousand-year-old families, they are indeed far inferior to the imperial court in terms of mobilizing manpower and material resources on a large scale to do things. The gap between them is ridiculously large.

Finally they also discovered their own weaknesses.

And they quickly began to contact each other to discuss cooperation.

There is no other way. If they don’t unite, the imperial court will eat the meat and they can only follow the imperial court and drink the soup.

The result is that both the court and the people.

They are all actively expanding outward.

On the surface, it was just for gold, but in reality, in order to obtain the gold safely, they had to engage in colonization. After all, most of the gold did not exist in the form of gold nuggets, but most of it was gold-containing ore.

They need to build a complete set of industrial production lines for mining, refining and metallurgy in the gold mines, and a large number of people are needed to participate.

In order to reduce expenses and costs, the best situation is to directly open up wasteland and plant crops on the spot, and try to be self-sufficient. All of this requires them to occupy the gold mine and even the area near the gold mine. It's okay if there are no natives, but if there are natives, they still need to deal with them. In short, this is not that easy and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

But compared to the harvest.

These efforts are undoubtedly worth it.

Starting from the second year, the gold smelted from overseas gold mines was continuously transported to the Xuannv Sect, whether it was the Song Dynasty court, the Liao Dynasty court, or small countries like Dali in Western Xia, or the major sects, aristocratic families, and chambers of commerce that dug and smelted the gold.

Most of them were sent to the Xuannv Sect.

More than 30 million taels of gold have been stored in the Xuannv Sect's warehouse, which is estimated to be more than the national treasuries of all the countries in the Central Plains cultural area combined, and the amount is still growing because there is no room for the gold to be consumed.

The Shengsheng Zaohua Pill is actually just an ordinary pill for strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy. Bai Sheng mixed it with some of the original vital energy that he had transformed himself. Without calculating the value of the original vital energy, the cost is very low. There is no need to use the gold at all, and Bai Sheng does not need to use gold for cultivation.

And she only collected gold for the purpose.

In fact, it has been achieved.

It is to encourage everyone to expand outward. If it continues in this way, even if the gold mines are exhausted in the future, neither the imperial court nor other forces will be willing to abandon the territories that have been managed for decades and have a lot of fertile land and population. At that time, Bai Sheng's conspiracy will be completely and successfully concluded.

……

April 8th, the second year of Mingdao in the Song Dynasty.

Bai Sheng, as usual, was explaining to the first and second generation disciples in the Hall of Supreme Elders the dozen or so magical skills secrets she had created some time ago.

This is how martial arts work, the higher the level, the better.

The more complex it is, the harder it is to understand.

Since the creation of Shaolin's Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing, few people have been able to practice them. Xiaoyaozi himself has not figured out the eternal youth skill, so he naturally cannot teach it to his disciples. The Bei Ming Sheng Gong, Xiao Wu Xiang Gong and Ba Huang Liu He Wei I Du Zun Gong that Wuyazi and Li Qiushui practiced are just parts of the eternal youth skill.

Even Bai Sheng suspected that Xiaoyaozi was using the three disciples to test whether the martial arts he had split up had any hidden dangers. It was the disciples who were injured if there were hidden dangers, but Xiaoyaozi was able to discover the hidden dangers in time and make appropriate modifications.

Wait for the three disciples to practice the technique to perfection.

The hidden dangers contained in the three magical skills he separated out were basically found and solved.

Then he would undoubtedly be much safer when he continued practicing.

As for why there is such speculation?

This is mainly because Bai Sheng, through the Beiming Divine Art, the Xiaowuxiang Art and the Bahuang Liuhe Weiyizun Art, has come up with the Eternal Spring Art, which is a technique of the same grade as the Changsheng Jue. It cultivates the innate true Qi at the beginning, and it is quite difficult to get started.

One must have an innate Taoist body and extraordinary talents, and the environment must also have a very rich spiritual energy.

It is basically impossible to practice cultivation in this era.

But Xiaoyaozi was indeed gifted. He divided this technique into three parts. The specific principle of use was to first practice Beiming Divine Art to accumulate internal strength. Absorbing other people's internal strength would definitely be faster than practicing by oneself. After the internal strength was sufficient, he would use Xiao Wuxiang Gong to regulate the internal strength.

Convert all the mixed internal forces with different attributes into the colorless and formless Xiao Wuxiang Gong internal force to solve the hidden danger that the internal force is not cultivated by oneself but absorbed.

Finally, use that internal force as nourishment.

Practice the skill of "I Am the Only One in the World".

There are two choices for rejuvenation by practicing the "I Am the Only One in the Eight Desolations and Six Directions". One is to do as Wu Xingyun did, where one's internal strength increases by one year through practicing for one day. The body will be refined to a certain extent and the internal strength will also be more refined.

Another option is to give up inner strength.

Transform all internal strength into the original foundation.

The disadvantage is obvious, that is, after rejuvenation, the body's internal strength is completely gone, and it is necessary to practice and accumulate again.

And rejuvenation in thirty years is not a certainty.

As long as you accumulate enough internal strength for thirty years.

You can regain your youth.

In other words, thirty years of internal strength is the minimum standard for rejuvenation. The more internal strength you have, the better.

The path chosen by Xiaoyaozi should be different from that of Wu Xingyun. According to Bai Sheng's estimation, as long as he can accumulate 360 ​​years of pure internal energy, and then use 360 ​​years of pure internal energy to rejuvenate, he can create an innate Taoist body, or at least a body comparable to an innate Taoist body.

His qualifications in all aspects are absolutely impressive.

It is no problem to practice the Changchun Gong for immortality.

Although these were only guesses, Bai Sheng had obtained all three techniques after all. The traces of human carving and modification in the three techniques were also quite clear. He then reversely deduced the Eternal Spring Technique.

The accuracy of the guess will be almost 90%.

From this, we can see how difficult it is to practice the secret manuals of magical skills. Although Bai Sheng has tried her best to reduce the difficulty of getting started with the secret manuals of magical skills that she compiled, she can never reduce it to a level that anyone can learn by reading it once.

To help them get started as quickly as possible and get on the right track.

I can teach it to other disciples later.

Bai Sheng, the compiler of the martial arts, of course had to explain it to them in detail very carefully, and even made clear to them the principles of the compilation of the martial arts, striving to make them not just learn it, but truly learn it thoroughly!

Once they have learned thoroughly, not only have they learned the exercises, but also understood the operating principles and compilation principles of the exercises, they will be able to make appropriate adjustments to the exercises based on their own physical conditions, making the exercises more perfectly suited to them.

By then, there will be no need to worry about the sect’s prosperity!
Just when he was talking excitedly, two carrier pigeons suddenly flew in from outside the hall and fluttered into the arms of the headmaster Qu Yu.

Qu Yu stood up and said, "My disciple is rude!"

After saying that, she quickly opened the secret letter and started reading it. Then the next second her face changed drastically. She read it carefully once, twice, and three times with a look of panic and disbelief.

Until I watched it three times.

Only then did I know for sure that I had not seen it wrong:
"Master, something big has happened. Empress Dowager Liu E has killed seventeen important officials and deposed Zhao Zhen. She is suspected of repeating the events of the Wu Zhou Dynasty and is planning to ascend the throne and become emperor!"

"It's over, it's over. The world is going to be in chaos."
