Heyang City is an important city at the foot of Qingyunmen Mountain.
certainly.
This does not refer to the weight of the city.
But all weight except weight.
Geographically speaking, Heyang City is located in the core area of the entire Central Plains. Although it is not the most core city, it is well known that a core is determined by its importance.
The reason why Heyang City is the core is mainly because Heyang City is close to Qingyun Mountain, and the territory of Qingyun Gate covers the entire Central Plains.
Say something ugly.
Qingyunmen is gorgeous, which actually makes sense.
Although the geographical location is an important link, it is also inseparable from the support of a group of mortals. Although the Qingyun Sect provides a certain degree of protection, and the disciples of Longshou Peak often go down the mountain to slay demons and eliminate demons, in the final analysis, everything depends on ordinary people. The base of people is too large.
The Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang are different.
It is also different from the barbaric wilderness where the Demon Cult is located.
The land of the Central Plains is recognized as rich.
Therefore, the Qingyun Sect has been able to stand firm to this day in an environment where there are almost big storms in every generation, and can even gradually prosper.
Among them, Daoxuan did make part of the credit, but the bulk of the credit still lies in the geographical location and the support of the people of the Central Plains.
Fortunately, Daoxuan also realized this.
Heyang City is a city that has received a lot of attention.
From a display perspective, Caomiao Village is the closest village to Qingyun Gate and the closest human habitat to Qingyun Gate.
But this cannot diminish Heyang City's advantages.
After all, not everyone can enjoy the boring life in Caomiao Village and the living environment that is neither good nor bad.
There are all kinds of rare treasures in Heyang City, there are all kinds of delicacies on jade plates, there are all kinds of unexpected rare species and creatures, and there are also beautiful women in their arms, singing and dancing.
Not being able to become an immortal is certainly bad news.
But this does not prevent most people from enjoying themselves in time.
Therefore, Heyang City, which is the closest to Qingyun Gate and the safest, has become the favorite place to stay for most wealthy businessmen.
Many wealthy businessmen still live in Heyang City.
Some even brought their wives and children with them.
In troubled times, safety is the most important thing.
Although there is no war in this world yet, in order to maintain stability, some demonic sects will indeed clean up the newly admitted territories after defeating their opponents.
On the one hand, destroy the opponent's die-hard force.
On the one hand, it consolidates control over territory.
Therefore, although there is no war from top to bottom in this world, and it is not a completely chaotic world, it is still a lot of exaggeration to say that it is the prosperous age of Haiyan and Heqing.
certainly.
Heyang City is just the important city of Qingyun Gate.
Each sect has different important cities.
The condition of each important city also represents the prosperity of a sect. Although it cannot have much correlation with the strength of the sect, it is true that the overall situation of a sect can be seen from a heavy city.
After all, sects also need to spend money.
We eat and drink, but we can't function without money.
Under the rule of the Blood Refining Hall, there was no important city.
The Blood Refining Hall itself has little territory.
Defeating the Ten Thousand Poison Sect can be regarded as a sudden burst of wealth.
However, it can also be seen as a snake swallowing an elephant.
If you are not careful, it will burst.
Therefore, although the Blood Refining Hall has begun the action of building a major city under the leadership of Lu Yuan, the newly built major city "Red Blood" is still far from the prosperity of Heyang City today.
However, there are also bold speculators.
He abandoned Qingyun Gate in Heyang City, moved to Scarlet Blood City where the Blood Refining Hall had just been built, and settled down in Scarlet Blood City.
This is also related to the regulations of the Blood Refining Hall.
The rule that there is no distinction between education and distinction is good news for many people who have no way to seek immortality. However, when the sect that spreads this rule is not Yeluzi, but the Blood Refining Hall with a genius, this news naturally arouses The attention of many seekers.
If you don’t have a chance, your descendants will always have a chance.
There is no chance in this life when I am old, but I might have the chance in the next life.
It was precisely because the vast majority of people held this crazy idea that Scarlet Blood City was able to be established and gradually entered the ranks of important cities.
However, compared with Heyang City, Scarlet Blood City still has a clear gap.
Lu Yuan understood this.
Chongcheng and Chongcheng are also different.
In this world, only a city with a population of more than 500,000 can be considered an important city; but whether it has one million or 800,000 depends on the city's own operating methods and the people behind the city. Whether the backing is strong or not.
While the neighbor is stocking grain, I am stocking guns.
The house next door is my granary.
An important city must be defended.
Moreover, because of the existence of this basic rule, there is actually more than one important city, and there is even more than one important city on each sect's territory!
Heyang City is just the most special one.
Just like the Scarlet Blood City in the Blood Refining Hall.
Scarlet Blood City is located thousands of miles east of Wanbat Ancient Cave.
It can be said that it is extremely close to the headquarters of Blood Refining Hall.
The same is true for Heyang City.
Of course, on the territory of Qingyun Gate, that is, in the entire Central Plains, there are at least dozens of important cities, but all of them are not as powerful as Heyang City.
To be precise, it was lost to the geographical location.
From an economic point of view, Heyang City is also one of the best among all the important cities in the world. Facing the Qingyun Sect, which has absolute power, there is neither petty theft nor major disputes in Heyang City.
Safe and stable, very stable.
It is also responsible for the important task of supplying supplies to Qingyun Sect.
On Qingyun Mountain, there are seven peaks, corresponding to the seven meridians.
Dazhu Peak is more or less reasonable.
The population is small and the territory is large.
From time to time you can see some game.
Including wild boars, wild deer, wild rabbits, etc.
Although there is very little killing up and down the Dazhu Peak, and the Qingyun Sect will also provide meat, but sometimes there will be people who are greedy, so it is normal to eat game.
The bones in Rhubarb's mouth are sometimes game meat, not all the bones purchased from the mortal world by Qingyunmen.
Mainly because no one would deliberately buy bones to chew on.
Especially since there's not even a bit of meat on the bones.
However, Dazhu Peak can maintain balance, and even maintain the ecological balance on Dazhu Peak, but the other veins cannot maintain this balance.
A mountain peak.
Hundreds of people lived up there.
Counting Taoist boys, it might be possible to break through a thousand people.
Even if food and drink are not included, the place where these people live still needs a large area. What's more, in order to prevent accidents, each peak will expel some wild beasts with greater lethality, or control them into an area. Allow these beasts to come out and run wild.
Therefore, how to supplement meat?
It’s hard to say how much food there is.
If that doesn't work, let Taoist boys farm the land.
Anyway, with the help of magic, when you need water, you can directly call for wind and rain. When you need to get rid of insects, you can exercise your disciple's control over objects.
It can be considered as coping.
But there is no way to supplement meat!
Chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons and other poultry are not suitable to be raised in a quiet Taoist gate like Qingyun Gate, not to mention that some birds are not edible. Special birds such as geese and crows can be driven away, but Qingyun Gate Disciples try not to do harm.
After excluding these birds, the only ones left are animals, fish and shrimps.
Fish and shrimp are taboos for many Qingyun disciples.
It’s not an all-around taboo.
It’s just that I don’t like eating fishy food.
River fish are different from sea fish.
Many river fish have a distinct fishy smell.
The reason why it is not a comprehensive taboo is mainly because this group of Qingyun disciples just do not eat fish and shrimps with a strong fishy smell. If they are processed fish and shrimps, they will still eat them.
pity.
Qingyun Mountain does not support fish farming.
In other words, there is not a good environment to raise fish.
You can't put fish, shrimp and water unicorn together, right?
Although they are all of the water genus, the meaning of feeding the water unicorn has exceeded the original intention of raising fish. In the end, the effort may be in vain.
After all, even if Shui Qilin secretly eats ten fish a day, no one will notice it for a while. After realizing that the number of fish is scarce, can Qingyun Sect still ask Shui Qilin to compensate?
There is no doubt that this is an unrealistic request.
Therefore, Qingyunmen does not raise fish.
Therefore, only the beasts remain.
But the number of animals is limited.
Moreover, there are many animals that cannot be eaten.
If it were in the hands of Lu Yuan, or in the hands of fox demons or some chefs in the Douluo world, these strange beasts might be able to be cooked, but in the hands of Qingyun Sect, these beasts are Not edible.
To be precise, it is difficult to enter.
The kitchens at each mountain peak are also handled by disciples or Taoist boys.
The cooked meals are definitely edible, but to say how delicious these meals are can only be said to be an unrealistic fantasy.
Everyone must practice.
How can I have time to think about cooking?
Therefore, not to mention that some of the animals are inedible, even if all of them are edible, a normal food chain on a mountain peak will never be able to sustain hundreds of people eating and drinking for thousands of years.
Therefore, Heyang City is an important city responsible for supplying Qingyunmen's daily necessities. It is crucial in every aspect.
"And our route is like this."
Lu Xueqi stood on the Tianya Sword, took out an unclear map from her arms, spread the map flat in her palm, and stated to several disciples who came over:
"We have three destinations for this trip."
"One of them is absolutely safe."
"The other two may be dangerous."
"Heyang City is the only important city near Qingyun Gate. We can replenish some supplies there and make certain preparations in advance."
"Behind Heyang City is the Scarlet Blood City of Blood Refining Hall."
"One of the purposes of this trip is to contact Senior Brother Xiao Yicai who risked his life to spread the news. Given the identity and status of Senior Brother Xiao Yicai at the last time he lost contact, it can be concluded that Senior Brother Xiao Yicai must have penetrated into the upper echelons of the Blood Refining Hall, and may even be The subordinates next to the leader of the Blood Refining Hall!"
"When he attacked Tianyin Temple and died together with Fuzi, senior brother Xiao Yicai was beside the master of the Blood Refining Hall and witnessed everything with his own eyes, including what the Demonic Son of the Ghost King Sect did."
"But this is also the last message sent back by Senior Brother Xiao Yicai."
"Now, senior brother Xiao Yicai's life and death are unknown."
"Therefore, one of the many purposes of going down the mountain this time is to contact senior brother Xiao Yicai. If the time is right, we can take him away. If the time is not good, we cannot rush forward."
"You should all know the power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation!"
Speaking of this, Lu Xueqi's eyes suddenly became sharp, she glanced at Tian Linger coldly, and added seriously: "You don't want him to see you catching up with him before he has taken two steps on the Naihe Bridge, right? ?”
Tian Linger suddenly turned around.
He looked at Lu Xueqi for a few seconds.
Then, he nodded silently.
But just as Tian Linger stopped, Zeng Shushu on the side raised his hand and asked a question that all the disciples were thinking about: "What is the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation?"
As if he was afraid that this sentence was not clear, Zeng Shushu quickly added: "I am talking about the formation of Ten Thousand Immortals. What kind of formation is it? We have never seen or heard of it. How can we know this formation?" The power of law?”
"This name was given by senior brother Xiao Yicai."
Lu Xueqi added calmly:
"The reason why I say that you should know clearly is that the predecessor of this formation is actually the unknown formation used by the leader of the Blood Refining Hall to kill the Poison God of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect."
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is the name of this unknown formation."
"It is also one of the pieces of information that Senior Brother Xiao Yicai has found out."
"You don't have to worry about this formation."
"In the letter, the flaws of this formation were described."
"To activate this formation, at least a thousand people are needed."
"As long as we're not surrounded, we'll be fine."
"Moreover, the only person who can understand and use this formation currently is the master of the Blood Refining Hall, that is, the unknown genius who helped him deduce the secret."
"Facing this genius, even if we are all combined, it is definitely not worth mentioning. However, even if we really face off against this genius, we don't have to worry that this genius will take action against us."
"The Young Master of Incense Valley will also come."
"This Young Valley Master is the real controller in this encounter."
Speaking of this, Lu Xueqi seemed to have remembered something, and quickly brought the slightly off-track topic back. After coughing unnaturally, she stated calmly:
"Therefore, Heyang City is our first destination."
"The Scarlet Blood City is our second stop. The meeting with the disciples of Tianyin Temple's Fenxiang Valley will also be held near the Scarlet Blood City. It can be regarded as gathering all the power of the righteous path together before the battle."
"Let me tell you in advance."
"There is a high probability that the disciples of Tianyin Temple will not take action."
"They are here to ensure the stability of the team and the delicate relationship between Tianyin Temple and Qingyun Sect. If a conflict breaks out, even if I don't say anything, Dongfang Yuan, the young master of Fenxiang Valley, will definitely intervene to resolve it."
"At that point, it's hard to tell the outcome."
"This young valley master was defeated by him."
"Therefore, whether it is for the stability of the team, to bring Senior Brother Xiao Yicai back safely, or to not give the Young Valley Master an excuse to suppress our Qingyun Sect..."
"I hope all of you can curb your anger!"
"but!"
"I also know his ideas!"
"Don't tell others to do good without suffering others' suffering."
"It's up to you to decide how to do it, but I hope that because of your hatred, I won't have more people buried with you because of your hatred, and I don't hope that your hatred will cause all his efforts to be in vain!"
Speaking of this, Lu Xueqi pursed her lips.
The slightly dry red lips slowly regained their luster.
Looking around, he asked in a deep voice: "Any more questions?"
Zeng Shushu raised his hand.
Tian Linger raised her hand.
Zhang Xiaofan raised his hand.
Lin Jingyu raised his hand.
Qi Hao raised his hand.
Lu Xueqi instantly felt a little headache.
Eight people.
Five of them all have questions to ask.
Eliminate her as the answerer.
There are only two people left!
Is it the same as not saying that she just said it?
But since the problem exists, it must be solved.
Lu Xueqi knew very well that procrastination would only allow some accidents to continue to exist, and become more and more uncontrollable, and even bring danger to everyone.
Therefore, asking is actually better than not telling.
At the very least, it can give people a positive answer.
Instead of guessing the intention.
Just like her before, stupid and naive.
Is a person who is willing to choose to die for the sake of his own life really the irresponsible person she imagined?
no doubt.
Not really.
It's just that the misunderstanding happened at the wrong time.
If he had to take responsibility indiscriminately just because he looked at her back or body, it would be an irresponsible choice for Tian Linger.
Therefore, no matter what Lu Yuan chooses, as long as he still abides by the set of rules she has formulated, he will always face a situation where he is irresponsible to one party.
Therefore, Lu Yuan chose death.
Use death to break this situation.
It also made her deeply aware of her mistakes.
If we do it again...
Lu Xueqi quickly shook her head.
There are some things you can't think about.
It's like she doesn't dare to face it.
She couldn't face the young man who died calmly.
Just as she couldn't forgive herself for forcing the boy back then.
But now, she can only look forward.
Therefore, Lu Xueqi raised her hand and pointed at Tian Linger.
"You speak first."
"Ask if you have any questions."
Tian Linger nodded and put down his hand.
He looked around and then asked:
"Is the feud between us and Tianyin Temple just over?"
"Even if we can go there, even if we choose to go there for the sake of Qingyun Sect's face, what evidence is there that they will choose to avoid talking about it?"
"What if they question us..."
"It's even an insult to his reputation..."
Lu Xueqi suddenly sneered.
He interrupted Tian Linger's words simply and neatly.
"What do you think Tianjiao is?"
"Don't say that everyone understands."
"Even if everyone doesn't understand, do you think that with just a few crooked melons and cracked jujubes from Tianyin Temple, you can speak nonsense and criticize a genius in public?"
"Let's not say whether we can accept it or not."
"Just talking about the young valley master of Fenxiang Valley, he cannot accept the people from Tianyin Temple using his identity to make trouble. If the young valley master of Fenxiang Valley is forced to panic, do you believe this young valley master? Do you dare to use the sword of the blood refining hall master to directly sell these people from Tianyin Temple?"
"Tian Linger, it's time for you to grow up!"
"He won't protect you anymore!"
"You have to learn to think proactively!"
"It's true that he is your junior brother, and he may tolerate you in front of you, but in fact, after he left Dazhu Peak, he was the only genius among the five geniuses who had not suffered any defeats!"
"Such people will only be respected!"
"It's like we're talking about Demon Son of the Ghost King Sect."
"If you think about it carefully, even if Zhengdao is very disdainful of this devil from the Ghost King Sect in terms of reputation, in fact, who is the genius or genius who dares to express his disdain for this devil in public?"
"No!"
Lu Xueqi scolded loudly.
Immediately, he waved his hand.
"So for a stupid question like this, I hope you can analyze it yourself and then come up with it. Compared with his ability to see through the essence of things at a glance, you really make me doubt how he learned the field of Wanfa!"
"Next!"
Tian Linger's little face turned red with anger.
Lu Xueqi raised her finger and found that what she said was indeed on point. Although it didn't sound good, every word she said was true.
She couldn't argue.
What's more, Lu Yuan also taught her the field of ten thousand arts.
She didn't realize it on her own at all.
And behind Tian Linger is Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan also put down his hand, remained silent for a moment, and asked a question that no one expected, and it was also a ground-breaking question.
"Is it really okay to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
In Zhang Xiaofan's dull eyes, an unforgettable hatred suddenly appeared, and he asked in a low voice through gritted teeth.
Lu Xueqi was silent for a moment.
Everyone else was silent for a while.
Later, Lu Xueqi said calmly: "Although I don't agree with your idea, if you don't drag down our team and don't consume the power of Fenxiang Valley, I can personally provide you with some small things if allowed. Small help.”
Zhang Xiaofan's eyes flickered slightly, apparently understanding what Lu Xueqi meant, but he quickly returned to his original state and replied numbly: "I know."
Lu Xueqi nodded: "Next."
Lin Jingyu put down his hand.
"If we have the ability to do so, can we use the power of Fenxiang Valley to let the Blood Refining Hall reveal the whereabouts of Daozi's body?"
"After all, although it was Demon Zi of the Ghost King Sect who took away Dao Zi's body at that time, as a bystander, the Blood Refining Hall must have been able to understand the whereabouts of Demon Zi to some extent."
"Even if the Blood Refining Hall really doesn't know, some clues can help us make subsequent inferences. It's better than nothing now."
Lu Xueqi was speechless and held her forehead.
Another idiot!
It's as if the master of the Blood Refining Hall is not worth mentioning!
The Blood Refining Hall is indeed famous for its formations, and it can even do the incredible thing of killing the Poison God with formations.
But the leader of the Blood Refining Hall is a genius after all!
Even if Dongfang Yuan, the young master of Fenxiang Valley, could defeat the master of Blood Refining Hall, conservatively it would be within three hundred moves at least!
The greater possibility is that the two are tied.
Moreover, this is still not on the territory of the Blood Refining Hall!
On the territory of the Blood Refining Hall, why should the leader of the Blood Refining Hall give up his advantage and instead play one-on-one with the righteous disciples?
There is no other possibility other than "interest".
All in all, this is an unrealistic idea.
It is even more unrealistic than bringing Lu Yuan back to life immediately.
Lu Xueqi didn't want to answer this meaningless question anymore. She glanced at Qi Hao, who was also speechless, and said calmly: "After you finish asking the question, you can explain it to your junior brother alone."
Then, he waved his hand: "Okay, next one!"
Zeng Shushu put down his hands and asked the most valuable question so far:
"I would like to know where the next destination is after these two destinations. If possible, could you briefly explain the follow-up arrangements?"
"At the very least, let us all understand."
"After all, according to the current plan, when the entire plan reaches the second stage, that is, after we start from the second footing, we will face an unpredictable bloody battle of life and death."
"Is the third foothold used for rendezvous?"
"If so, how can we contact you?"
"Are there any time limits?"
"What if I can't wait for anyone?"
