Chapter 418: Rules and Bad Habits, Mortal World

The void crack in the sky was dark and deep, and it returned to normal after a moment.

The scholar and the monk exchanged complicated glances. Gao Jian was able to tear through the void and travel through space. He had obviously broken through to the tenth floor, which was the level of celestial immortal. Why could he still stay in the seven realms of the upper realm?
I wonder why the Heaven is so tolerant of him wandering around in the upper realm?
The two of them could not understand the mystery. Perhaps one day in the future when they have reached a certain level of cultivation, they will be able to resolve their doubts.

The scholar and the monk, who had seen that there is always someone better than you, calmed down their feelings and appeared on Nanhui Island. They stretched out their hand and raised it slightly, asking the monks who were bowing to them to stand up.

The monk was wearing an ordinary yellowish-brown robe and had short hair. There was a barely perceptible wave of Buddha light behind him, which made his face look solemn yet gentle. His eyebrows and eyes were filled with a friendly smile. He said:
"I am Wurong from the Zhengxiang Temple in Zhoushan Domain. This is a scholar from the Longyuan Valley Domain. After the disaster, the original rules and regulations of the Buried Immortal Continent have collapsed, and the chaos has worsened. I am afraid that it will cause the people's livelihood to wither and the consequences of evil will not be avoided. I would like to ask fellow Daoist Luo and fellow Daoist Xiao to work with you to restore order in the Banyue and Qixing areas in the southeast of the Buried Immortal Continent. If the killing disaster is coming secretly, please try your best to delay it once you notice it. It will be recorded as a great merit and rewarded with a written commendation."

The old man surnamed Luo and the man surnamed Xiao knew the two of them, and they bowed and said, "We will obey the instructions of the two elders!"

Being able to stay in Maixianzhou and not have to travel around the world to hunt down the killing monks who have fallen into the realm of killing is a relatively easy job and not that dangerous.

The scholar casually threw a token to each of them, looked at the Taoist priest in the crowd, and asked with a smile: "Where are you practicing, young friend?"

The old fellow who made Gao Jian specifically mention and greet him must be a powerful person from the Jiuchonglou, and he was probably one of Gao Jian's old friends.

There are many masters who have been practicing in seclusion in the seven regions of the upper realm. For example, Liuyun Region is not the world of Liuyun Sect alone. There is also a ninth-level powerful demon who does not care about worldly affairs and likes to travel around the world. As long as Liuyun Sect does not overly oppress the demon forces, everyone will be happy and can maintain peace.

Xu Yuanchang hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, "Reporting to the senior, I am Xu Yuanchang, practicing in Wuliu Mountain in Liuyun Territory."

Seeing that the scholar did not ask any more questions, Wuliu Mountain was unknown and no one had heard of any great man living there in seclusion. With his cultivation level and status, he did not need to curry favor with any of his peers. He was just asking out of curiosity.

After finishing their business, the two figures disappeared.

They also have to go to other nodes one by one to make arrangements and clean up the mess in Maixianzhou.

Gao Jian intervened and even Mu Xiaoxiao was taught a lesson without any politeness. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with their use of all the living beings in the continent to eliminate the hidden danger of the killing calamity. In order not to give Gao Jian the opportunity to intervene later, they had to carry out appropriate follow-up.

They can't afford to offend the old guy who is not among the five elements.

After seeing off the two great men from the Ninth Floor, the old man surnamed Luo and the man surnamed Xiao had a brief discussion through voice transmission and divided the group of thirty-six local cultivators into two. They assigned Yan Shusheng and Xu Yuanchang to lead a team of cultivators each and station them in the Banyue and Qixing areas to calm people's hearts and restore order.

Xu Yuanchang chose Shan Yuhong as his deputy, took the warrant and the geomancy map, and clasped his fists to accept the order.

The old man surnamed Luo sent Yan Shusheng's team of monks ahead and called Xu Yuanchang aside. He put on a kind face, took out two jade boxes and handed them to Xu Yuanchang.

"I was ordered to do this and I was responsible for my duties. I misunderstood Fellow Daoist Xu in a hurry and did not take it lightly. Please take back the treasure and give me some compensation. If Fellow Daoist Xu has any questions during the mission, please feel free to contact us. Don't be shy."

"I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you, Brother Xu."

The man surnamed Xiao also bowed and apologized.

How could they dare to accept the other party's treasures? They were too hot to handle.

No wonder the Xu guy was able to block two of their attacks in a row and only suffered a minor injury to his lungs, and was able to take out such a rare treasure as the "Thunder Seal". This kid Xu was too sinister. He had such a strong backer but didn't tell him in advance.

Xu Yuanchang said politely, "Ignorance is not a crime," and took the two jade boxes and accepted the sincere apologies from the two men.

He lost a set of seventh-level treasure clothes, tortoise shell, and tortoise soul puppet, and it would be unjustifiable not to receive corresponding compensation.

Only he himself knew in his heart that he and Taoist Master Yanshan did not have a master-disciple relationship.

It was purely Gao Jian's misguided conjecture, thinking that since Gao Jian had learned the Taoist's magical skills and possessed the Fantasy Immortal Ring, he must be the Taoist's successor.

In his hand he held Empress Yu Cai's magic glass mirror, and on his body he wore the magic armor that was refined under the guidance of Ye Changmeng.

What to say?
The three of them stood there and laughed and talked for a while, before putting aside the previous incident.

Xu Yuanchang also knew that the two men were named Luo Fuyan and Xiao Chao. He clasped his fists and said goodbye. He and Shan Yuhong led eighteen fifth- and sixth-floor monks to fly to the coast two hundred miles away.

When we arrived at Qixing Mountain, five thousand miles away, it was almost noon.

All I saw along the way was blood and debris, and the ordinary villages and towns were in chaos.

There were flames everywhere and wailing everywhere.

Chang Xu Yuan took the list of cultivators compiled by Shan Yuhong and divided the motley crowd into two teams, appointing two cultivators in the late sixth floor as team leaders.

"Wu Shanbi, Zhang Wu, I give you three days to take in and appease the monks passing by, and calm down the unrest within the 3,000-mile radius of the Qixing Mountain area. I allow you to kill the thugs who are causing trouble in various places with thunder and lightning, appease the people, and restore the secular order as soon as possible."

After Xu Yuanchang made some simple arrangements, he saw that everyone looked perfunctory and their eyes flickered, and he knew what these guys were planning.

He waved his left hand and a flash of silver light appeared.

Everyone looked up in shock and fear.

Xu Yuanchang sneered, "I have put a blood curse on you. Anyone who dares to run out of the Seven Star Mountain for five thousand miles will explode into a ball of blood mist. He will consider himself unlucky and die early. It is not easy to find a three-legged demon toad, but there are many two-legged monks. Anyone who is perfunctory and loses his life will have asked for it. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Everyone responded in unison with their scalps tingling.

No matter how much resentment they felt in their hearts, they dared not show any other expression on their faces, and they all stood straight in a solemn manner.

They had already witnessed the methods and power of the old monster in the Seventh Floor when they were on Nanhui Island.

He is merciless in killing and can even counter two attacks from Yajonglou.

Why are they so miserable?

Before he could even escape, he was caught.

Xu Yuanchang's expression eased a little, and he said, "If you do your job well, I will not treat you unfairly. I will pay you your salary and will not deduct a single cent. If there is any profit in the future, I will also share some with you. I hope that everyone present will be alive and well when the mission is over. Go down!"

"Yes!"

The two captains, along with their men, flew away to the east and west.

Xu Yuanchang added slowly, "I am already on my way here. I have paid a high price to plant spies among you. I am warning you in advance to prevent you from doing something stupid and unforgivable."

The two teams of monks ran away as if they were escaping.

They all look like traitors to each other, and they envy the lucky guy who can be bribed by Old Monster Xu at a "high price".

Shan Yuhong couldn't help but smile. It takes a wicked man to deal with a wicked man. With such a companion who understands people's hearts and is good at dealing with things, his future missions in foreign lands will be very easy.

"Excuse me, Brother Shan. I just want to make the common people in my jurisdiction live in peace and suffer less. There is an old saying that goes, 'When prosperity comes, the people suffer; when decline comes, the people suffer'. It's not easy for the common people." "Brother Xu is kind and thoughtful. I admire him deeply."

Shan Yuhong felt a little strange when he saw that Taoist Xu did not look fake. Among the masters who had cultivated to the seventh level, which one was not an old practitioner who had gone through hardships for more than a thousand years and had eliminated his worldly desires?
Monks have different fates from mortals, so it is not appropriate to interfere too much, and we must not have worldly thoughts of "serving the people wholeheartedly".

Otherwise, it is easy for a heart seeking the truth to be unknowingly obscured by dust.

Just maintain a "public" heart and watch "birth, aging, sickness and death" with a cold eye. Mortals have their own way of living.

Xu Yuanchang did not explain too much. He had his own reasons for what he wanted to do. There were all kinds of courtyards and caves on the Qixing Mountain, but they were all deserted at this time.

He and Shan Yuhong each chose a courtyard on an adjacent hilltop, set up their formations and claimed it as their own.

The Great Wilderness Mountain is the only realm that is not guarded by masters of the Ninth Floor. Occasionally, monks of the Eighth Floor from other realms pass by. The various forces of all sizes in the Twelve Continents are in endless disputes and their composition is complex, so it has always been in a state of chaos.

Release the fourth-level incarnation that has not been used for a long time and order it to clean up the messy yard.

Xu Yuanchang walked into the secret room, took out the two jade boxes given to him by Luo Fuyan, opened one of them, and found the lost Thunder Seal inside. He checked it carefully and put it back to its original shelf in the space treasury.

He opened another jade box, which contained a black storage bag, and probed his spiritual consciousness into the bag.

A bag full of seventh-level materials was enough for him to customize five sets of seventh-level treasure clothes with some left over.

The empty pocket suddenly became full again.

Xu Yuanchang smiled. The two were frightened enough. They apologized with full sincerity. He couldn't help but sigh that status is really a good thing, even if it is borrowed by someone else.

By regulating your breathing until the next morning, the injuries will be completely healed without leaving any hidden dangers.

After saying hello to Shan Yuhong, who was standing on the opposite hill with his hands behind his back admiring the scenery, and asking him to take charge of Qixing Mountain, Xu Yuanchang jumped up and disappeared into the air.

He concealed his tracks and patrolled the area circled on the geomancy map. His spiritual sense swept over and he had a rough idea of ​​the area within a thousand miles. The two teams of monks he sent out carried out his orders conscientiously and were seeing initial results. Most of the chaos seen yesterday had subsided. Several heads were hung on the wooden poles erected at the ends of some towns and streets, and blood was still dripping from them.

Each of them also gathered a team of about a hundred monks, mostly low-level monks.

In the Immortal Continent, all cultivators of level five and above had already fled, and the rest were those who were not capable of crossing the ocean.

After inspecting the territory, Xu Yuanchang suddenly appeared in front of the team on the east side. He waved to Captain Wu Shanbi who was hurriedly saluted and asked him to send a message to call another captain.

When Zhang Wu arrived, he casually mentioned the achievements made by the two.

He easily threw a storage bag to each of the two men and stuffed a sweet date into each of them after they were beaten with two sticks.

He casually gave away some sixth-level and fifth-level materials that were of little use to him, clearly showing his strong attitude of "those who obey me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish". He did not need to buy the hearts of his subordinates.

What he needs is a tool who is obedient and does his job well.

"Thank you, Senior Xu, for the reward!"

The two captains showed extremely sincere expressions on their faces and bowed in gratitude.

When they looked up again, the old monster Xu who had frightened them was gone. After opening the bag, their eyes lit up and they quickly put the bag into their sleeves, smiling at each other tacitly.

After seeing off Zhang Wu, Captain Wu Shanbi distributed some materials to several of his men, and sent one of them to bring the slow-moving low-level cultivators back to the foot of the Seven Star Mountain to build a base and start large-scale construction. He also divided his men into two to speed up the task of pacifying the people and gather more low-level cultivators to bring to the Seven Star Mountain. Old Monster Xu had already said that whoever develops the power will own it in the future.

Xu Yuanchang, who was hiding in the air, had a panoramic view of everything the two teams did.

He wanted to collect the "two taels of wind" of the world, so he started from the area under his own jurisdiction of three thousand miles, and condensed the mundane atmosphere of the world, the mundane atmosphere of birth, old age, sickness and death, the seven emotions and six desires, the fragrance of the soil and flowers in the fields, the stench and miasma of the withering and decaying in the forest, and so on.

For the next three months, he remained invisible and wandered around.

Observe the process of worldly changes from turmoil, despair, chaos to peace and prosperity.

A small country with few people can be stable even if it has a stutter.

As tenacious and energetic as weeds, it can take root and thrive in any harsh environment.

Xu Yuanchang did not disturb the patrolling monks and the villagers. He was like a condescending bystander, overlooking the joy, happiness, sorrow, life and death below. He was completely unaware that his state of mind was more in line with the essence of "nothingness". He integrated himself into the world, and his cultivation improved at a very fast speed.

Shan Yuhong, who was guarding the Qixing Mountain, felt quite strange. He could still detect Fellow Daoist Xu's hidden whereabouts a few days ago, but in recent days he could not find where the other party was. However, he could sense that the other party had not left.

The two captains, Wu Shanbi and Zhang Wu, expanded their respective teams to more than 500 people, recruited many men from the Fifth and Sixth Floors who had returned to Maixianzhou, and with the consent of Shan Yuhong, the two of them each opened up a hill near the Seven Star Mountain, divided their spheres of influence, planted spiritual herbs, and did very well.

The Chinese New Year is here in the blink of an eye.

The firecrackers are festive and the lights are decorated.

There is a custom in the world to get married during the years of leisure. Xu Yuanchang floated to a town. At dusk, he "saw" the wedding sedan carrying the bride into a wealthy mansion. After the ceremony, it was already dark. The front hall was brightly lit, the guests were drinking and having fun, but the bridal chamber in the backyard was cold and deserted. Only the bride was left, sitting alone at the head of the bed with a red veil on her head. She was trembling slightly as if she was afraid of the cold.

A monk flew in from a distance, landed in the backyard, walked straight up the steps, pushed the door open, and entered the festive new house with red candles.

I saw the monk casually tear off the bride's veil and push down the newlyweds who dared not resist.

Xu Yuanchang suddenly woke up from his state of watching.

He had a blank expression on his face and uttered a light shout that sounded like thunder to the monk's ears. He was immediately terrified and staggered out of the room, only to be caught in the air by Xu Yuanchang's hand.

"You want to violate a mortal woman, do you know your sin?"

The monk woke up with blood gushing out of his mouth and nose, and saw the reappeared Old Monster Xu. He was Wu Shanbi's trusted subordinate, so he naturally recognized the old monster. His face turned pale and he knelt in the air, shouting, "Ancestor Xu, I admit my guilt. Please listen to my explanation. If you want to kill me or cut me up, please wait."

"Say!"

"It has always been a tradition in Maixianzhou for a newlywed woman to spend her first night with a cultivator. I am not a villain who dares to violate the rules. Please be careful, ancestor!"

The monk kowtowed repeatedly, never expecting that such a good job would almost cost him his life.

Xu Yuanchang hesitated for a moment. He could tell the truth from the falsehood in the other party's words. He said, "From today on, this bad habit will be abolished in my jurisdiction. Go and tell Wu and Zhang that if they do it again, they will be killed. Get lost."

"Yes, yes, thank you for sparing my life, ancestor."
