Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 170 Departure
"I took out this book, 'Shan Yi Zhen Xiu Yu Beast Taming Solution Volume 1', from Ying Bi's storage bag and took a look. It's quite interesting. You can let your honest disciple learn from it. If he is lucky, his future achievements will not be much worse than Qing Ge'er's."

The next day, just as Sect Leader Kang entered the Black-Shoe Taoist's quiet room, the latter took out a green jade slip and handed it to Kang Dabao.

Master Kang took it with a bow. He had planned this a long time ago, but he didn't expect that before he could ask his uncle for it, the uncle had packed it and sent it to him.

This favor is really getting heavier and heavier, and I don't know if I can repay it in this lifetime. Before he could open his mouth to express his gratitude, he heard the Taoist Black Shoes continue to speak.

"The matter of the spiritual stone mine in Tanggu County has come to an end. Tie Liuyun, Gun Shide, and Bushe, along with the Xiezhi Iron Guards and the state court soldiers, have wiped out all the remaining monsters.

I don't know what kind of promise the Sanxiang Sect got from the Liangyi Sect to make them work so hard, but at least half of his useful disciples of this generation have been lost, and he has also been hated by Kuang Liuting. His family's main gate in Puzhou may not be able to be preserved."

Kang Dabao was shocked when he heard this and asked in astonishment, "Although the Earl of Nan'an is nominally in charge of the military and people's livelihood of Feng, Ding, Pu, and Yun states, he has not even taken care of Yunjiao state yet and is going to send troops to Pu state. Isn't this a violation of the Liangyi Sect's taboo?"

"It is true that they violated a taboo, but it was the Liangyi Sect that violated the taboo first." Taoist Hei Lu paused when he said this, "The Liangyi Sect previously sent disciples of the Sanxiang Sect to manipulate the beasts to destroy the markets and streets related to the Yue family. The state government did not respond to this, and was happy to see the prestige of the Yue family plummet so that they could take over the business of the counties in Yunjiao State.

Originally, this matter was just a way for both parties to hit the Yue family, which was caught in a dilemma. Apart from the loss of interests of some small families, the state court benefited and the Liangyi Sect gained face. There was a tacit understanding between the two.

But Liangyi Sect sent the Sanxiang Sect to build the foundation and manipulate the rat group led by the second-level gold-eating rat to attack and kill two or three hundred monks in Tanggu County, which is a taboo. "

At this time, Master Kang understood what he had heard and said to himself, "So that's how it is."

Normally speaking, if there is a dispute between two parties of equal strength in the cultivation world, it should be soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. If both sides send out high-level cultivators to wantonly slaughter low-level cultivators, wouldn't that be chaos?
Generally speaking, the lower-level monks should first have a symbolic fight to the death, and then the higher-level monks should have some exchanges.

However, the fight between low-level cultivators does not have much significance. Even if one side has won, as long as the high-level cultivator above them loses, then it is not a victory. The best they can do is to ensure that their side escapes unscathed.

The Liangyi Sect's actions were indeed taboo. Kuang Liuting had an excuse this time and took the opportunity to go to the neighboring Puzhou to stir up trouble, which was not too much.

Although this earl is recognized as a noble and handsome man among the royal family of the Immortal Dynasty, he has not yet formed his golden elixir. Will the several golden elixirs of the Liangyi Sect just let him pull out their beards like this?

Master Kang thought about it for a while and then stopped thinking about it. He felt that this was really a case of those who drink porridge worrying about those who eat meat.

What these big shots wanted to do, how could he, a mere Qigong cultivator, think of it? He should not do things that would cause trouble for himself. He only hoped that when the Nan'an Earl sent out the army again, he would not capture his own men.

Kang Dabao put these thoughts aside and told Taoist Heilu about the arrangements for Chongming Market and his own plans.

The latter just nodded slightly and did not express any opinion.

Just pay a little attention to these mundane affairs, and remember not to indulge in them. After building the foundation, you will feel that the world is vast and all problems will be solved.

Kang Dabao nodded in agreement. After bidding farewell to the Black Shoe Taoist, he was about to set off alone, but Jiang Qing came again. The head of the sect, Kang Da, thought that Jiang Qing had stayed in the sect recently and had nothing to do, so he did not chase him away. The two brothers set off with a small group of people.

It would be better to bring it with you. If you encounter those brainless bandits who insist on robbing, you can pick up a few storage bags and bring them back to relieve the pressure on spirit stones for the sect.

The world has been in a bad state recently, but for some bandits and evil cultivators, it is a rare good time.

Because of this, Lu Xun led a long team of pack animals on the road from Yushan Market to Tanggu County, and he was very cautious.

He Dezong arranged them to join a medium-sized caravan, which was larger than the caravan that Jiang Qing led for the first time with He Degong. There were about thirty to forty monks and two to three hundred warrior masters.

The cultivation level of the leading He family member was not high, he was only at the fifth level of Qi training, but the guards in the caravan were led by two old men in the late stage of Qi training, one in black and the other in green, both of them were guests who had been supported by the He family for many years.

Normally, within Yunjiaozhou, a caravan with this configuration could protect itself by traveling along familiar trade routes. But the market was unstable, especially since many small families had suffered heavy casualties after being conscripted by the state court not long ago, and the promised compensation could not be paid.

As a result, many of the original honest monks began to have evil thoughts, and gathered in groups of three or four to do some no-cost business.

Therefore, all the monks in the caravan were extremely alert at this time. These temporary bandits were different from the established bandits with stable territories. They had no relationship with the caravans that came and went all year round, so it was difficult to negotiate a price with them, which was the most annoying thing.

Soon, the dull team walked along the road to a pass.

The He family member who led the team was an experienced businessman. He immediately raised his hand to stop the caravan, and offered a yellow talisman, which raised green smoke.

After a while, several bandits holding magical weapons and stopping their breath-holding techniques rushed out from the darkness of the pass.

Although this was not the first time he had seen this scene, Lu Xun was still secretly shocked.

Many of these bandits were only at the initial stage of Qi training, and he had not noticed them until they showed up.

From this we can see that these people may not be very advanced in other techniques, but their attainments in the Breath-Resisting Technique are quite deep.

If a caravan without any foundation came here and was weak in strength, it would definitely be ambushed.

"Huo, I wonder who has the money to gather such a large caravan these days. I was really blind not to recognize that this was the caravan of Brother He."

When the leading bandit saw the leopard flag at the head of the He family caravan, he immediately put on a smiling face and said.

These bandits in Yunjiaozhou and merchants like the He family cannot be said to be natural enemies. Rather, it is more like a symbiotic relationship.

The bandits controlled the passes of the trade routes. Rather than fighting to the death and causing numerous casualties, they could make more money. They could receive relatively stable road taxes and relatively cheap spiritual materials from the caravans. This long-term business was better.

Of course, these bandits are not good people. If a caravan with insufficient strength and capital breaks in, they will naturally be swallowed up by them.

This could be considered as unintentionally helping large caravans like the He family to eliminate some potential rivals. Not to mention, they themselves were also one of the caravan's trading partners.

"Please come in, sir." He Jiazi got off his mount, smiled, and bowed, as if he was visiting an ordinary colleague, without any contempt.

"Young Master He, please." The leading leader returned the salute respectfully. He was just a small leader here and was far from being worthy of the title of "boss". Hearing the flattery from the He family, he was sincerely happy.

"The owner of the Ma Family Village has changed. A few powerful people came from Pingrong County a month or two ago. They were so brutal that the owner of the Ma Family Village was even skinned alive by one of the female cultivators. They acted in a rather vicious way. Our owner went there several times but never got any good results. Young Master He, please be careful when you pass by."

The little leader took over He Jiazi's spirit stone bag and found that there were five or six more broken spirit stones in it. He immediately smiled happily. When he saw He Jiazi was about to leave, he immediately reminded him.

"Oh, thank you very much, boss." He Jiazi's eyes flashed when he heard it. He got on his mount and nodded to express his gratitude, and winked at Du Qing who was carrying the flag at the side.

The latter immediately raised his head and exhaled a stream of clear air, which manifested on the He family's leopard flag, making the ferocious leopard on the flag more lifelike and even more conspicuous.

Lu Qing, who led the caravan, naturally knew that this was to alert the new entrants to see clearly that this was a caravan from the He family. It would be better for everyone to make money together and live in peace.

"Silence, and let's go."
