The magnificent palace of the Jinling Sect in Jinyang Mountain was covered with heavy snow. The disciples of the Jinling Sect were gathering in the square to practice martial arts together. They felt a flash of black light above their heads, and a huge black strange bird suddenly appeared on the roof of the hall, against a white background. , black is particularly obvious.
"Little Lingzi, Master Peng is here to collect debts. The ungrateful guy refused to save us and even killed us. He even sent experts to chase us. Have you ever thought that one day Master Peng will come to demand justice? "
"The great demon is a great demon in the heavenly realm. Go and report to the sect master!" Hearing that the demon beast was speaking human words, a group of disciples suddenly panicked under the pressure of the great demon and ran around to tell each other.
At this time, a man came through the air, and in a blink of an eye he was standing on the roof, opposite the roc.
"Black-winged roc!"
Jin Lingzi's face was calm, and he even noticed a slight smile hidden inadvertently. He said: "I heard about your heroic deeds a few days ago. One against four, I chased the four dark tiger brothers for thousands of miles and forced them into In the extreme northern abyss, we have won a great victory, and we have repaid each other with great vengeance, so happy and congratulatory!"
Dapeng waved his wings and scolded: "You kid, stop talking about other things. It's time to settle the score between us."
With a wry smile, Jin Lingzi sighed softly: "Master Peng, you can take whatever you like from our humble abode. Don't be polite." As he said that, he pointed to the major palaces of Jin Lingzong.
"Humph, you're wise." Dapeng seemed to be very satisfied with Jin Lingzi's attitude. He raised his head proudly, glanced around and then said casually: "Then hand over a few heavenly weapons for fun first. "
Jin Lingzi froze and almost fell down after hearing this. A group of Jin Lingzong disciples below were watching eagerly. If he fell down, where would he lose his face? So he laughed and said: "Master Peng, don't be ridiculous, even if the sect is torn down. I can’t find a few heavenly weapons.”
"Dapeng Demon King, you're fine!" At this time, Taoist Jin Lei in Taoist robes came walking on the wind.
"Hey, old man Jin Lei, you're still alive." Dapeng glanced at the visitor and said hello.
Taoist Jin Lei raised his hands in greeting: "Ahem, Dapeng Demon King."
Dapeng seemed to be a member of his own family. He stretched out his wings and patted Taoist Jin Lei on the shoulder and said, "You came just in time. I have some equipment here. Help me hammer out some weapons..."
The disciples in the square looked at each other in confusion. What was the origin of this strange bird demon? The sect leader and Elder Jin Lei actually respected him so much.
Tianmen Lingdan Hall, in Ling Han's room.
“Good wine!”
Shabao was not polite at all. He picked up a jar of strong wine and drank it. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and then grabbed a roast chicken and ate it.
If Zhao Yang or Li Xuan were here, they would definitely shout in disbelief: "Is this guy really the master of the Jinsha Sect? He must have been hungry for so many days, look at how poor he looks."
"Is the Jinsha Sect so downtrodden? Is the leader of such a dignified sect just looking like this?"
In the room, the stove was burning with a warm flame, and a pot of wine was warming on it. Ling Han and Ye Yi were sitting next to Sha Bao, watching him drinking and eating meat alone. Mei Ruyu was sitting by the window, watching the things falling outside. snowflakes, combing your hair.
"Are you full?"
Ling Han stared at the man of unknown origin, wanting to test his intentions, so he asked: "We also had a fight and drank wine. This is our first visit. Did you prepare a big gift for Tianmen? "
It means that if you come to your house empty-handed and receive a beating, you still have the nerve to come in and drink?
"Sect Master, didn't I say that if Lao Sha wants to join Tianmen and become your subordinate, then the entire Jinsha Sect will be a gift, and the control of the black market will belong to Tianmen from now on." Sha Bao said respectfully every word. He preached, and after speaking, he bared his teeth and smiled innocently.
The corner of Ye Yi's mouth twitched and he said seriously: "Master Sha Sect, you can't joke about such a big thing."
"Old Sha is not kidding." Sha Bao raised his head and looked at Ye Yi seriously. He suddenly thought of something, quickly greased his hands on his clothes, took out a token from his arms, put it on the table, and said: "No, this is the token of the owner of the Jinsha Sect. With this, you can control the black market."
The palm-sized ancient black token has some wear and tear on the corners, but the word "Golden Sand" in the middle is green and powerful and clearly visible.
"All institutions, organizations, and vendors in the black market only recognize tokens and not people. They unconditionally obey the orders of the token holders. You should keep it."
After speaking, Shabao continued to eat and drink, finishing two jars of fine wine in a row.
Ye Yi looked at Ling Han in disbelief, and Ling Han nodded to him: "Just follow what he said, just believe him once."
Ye Yi still felt a little weird and asked: "You are not the only one in Jinsha Gate, right?"
Shabao nodded naively, "Yeah, hey, I'm the only one, I can't believe it."
"Okay." Ye Yi put away the token and greeted Sha Bao with his hand.
Although Jinshamen has faded out of the world, everyone knows its name very well. The black market is the number one intelligence organization in Xianyang City, and there are many rare goods for sale. It must be powerful to control the black market. I once thought that Jin Lingzong was secretly controlling it, but I didn't expect it. It's just Shabao alone.
Ling Han was also very shocked. How could a land master be so capable? There must be some unknown secret methods.
"How did you do it? One person can control the entire black market?" Ling Han asked.
"Actually, it's very simple. The black market is composed of a group of shady people who have no trust in each other. We set an order for them and use the token as a contract, so there is an organization that can be abided by together."
Sha Bao explained: "Furthermore, they don't know that there is only Lao Sha in Jinsha Sect. As everyone knows, they all think that Jin Lingzong is the backer behind Jinsha Sect. All forces dare not provoke it easily, and the City Lord's Palace obtains from it In order to obtain some benefits, the government has acquiesced in the existence of the black market.”
To control the black market, one needs to maintain order with the intimidation of strong force, use all-round communication skills to contact all parties to facilitate transactions, and also need to have enough fame and credibility.
Ye Yi asked curiously: "It is said that you also have interactions with the ghost clan?"
Sha Bao chuckled, then secretly glanced at Mei Ruyu with his peripheral vision, and said: "It is true that we have some business transactions with the ghost clan Xuanming Realm near Xieyang City, we just need each other."
A few days ago, the Xuanming Realm was turned upside down, but it did not affect the sales and transactions with the outside human race.
Then he whispered to Ling Han and Ye Yi: "Hey, I have a way. The wine of the ghost tribe is the best in the world, and the women of the ghost tribe are even more..."
"Crack!" A gust of air shattered the wine jar next to Shabao, and the wine spilled onto the floor.
The sand leopard was so frightened that he trembled violently and quickly closed his mouth.
"Ahem, it's getting late, I should go back." Ye Yi retreated.
Sha Bao followed Ye Yi and shouted: "Master Ye, arrange a place for Lao Sha."
"Wait a minute, you have said so much, but you still haven't told me why you want to join Tianmen." Ling Han stopped Sha Bao and asked straight to the point. After saying so much, he still didn't explain clearly the reason for joining Tianmen.
There have been no major changes in Jinshamen, and there is a lot of money in controlling the black market. Why should you take the initiative to join Tianmen? Although Tianmen is developing well, it has not yet reached the point where it can cover the sky with one hand. Besides, if you don't come early, you won't come late. But Ling Han just came back to Tianmen and braved the wind and snow to come to discuss.
Therefore, taking the initiative to merge with Tianmen is either to avoid unknown risks, or to come here because of its reputation!
Shabao turned around, pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, it's because of one person."
"who?"
I saw Sha Bao spit out three words: "Big Demon King!"
That winter was particularly cold, with heavy snow falling for several days. Lingwu and his wife came to Xieyang City with a baby in their arms.
Jin Lingzong, Dapeng turned into a human, drinking and reminiscing with Jin Lingzi.
"I remember that Brother Ling and his sister-in-law lived in the Sanguan Temple near Xieyang City. They came to Xieyang City that day to look for an extremely precious fairy grass. We met at a grand auction."
A pot of old wine and two old friends tell the story of the prosperous past.
Jin Lingzi continued: "I heard some rumors that Brother Ling has traveled thousands of miles to Xieyang City. I have to fulfill my host's wishes, so I sent people to inquire for several days before I knew your intentions. This I was just at the Yulinglou auction, and I didn’t expect to actually meet him.”
Dapeng sighed: "Yeah, eighteen years have passed, hey, you bastard, and you haven't even given us that fairy grass yet!"
"I originally wanted to invite you to Jinling Sect and give me the fairy grass as a gift, but then... Well, speaking of it, it was all God's will." Jin Lingzi shook his head bitterly and said regretfully: "If Brother Ling had come directly to Jinling Sect, Not so much happens.”
After several jars of fine wine, Dapeng was a little drunk and shouted: "What is the Jinling Sect? It has a thousand-year heritage, a famous and upright sect, and is the head of the five major sects. You, the leader of the sect, have not yet taken the seat. Who are we? Why do we have the nerve to come and disturb you?" Woolen cloth."
"Come, have a drink!" Jin Lingzi didn't look like a sect leader at all, more like a sentimental old friend.
"In the end, I went to the Jinling Sect for a piece of fairy grass, but something happened when I went there." Dapeng got angry when he mentioned this, and said depressedly: "There is no fairy grass, but there is an enemy."
"Your good father happened to invite the prince of Tianfu's royal family as a guest. It's not like you don't know about the feud between Brother Ling and the prince. Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other. A big war is inevitable and almost razed the Jinling Sect to the ground."
Although neither side tried their best in that battle, most of the Jinling Sect was destroyed. Several buildings collapsed and countless palaces were destroyed. It was only this year that they were barely renovated and looked like new.
"If we hadn't had something important to do, we would have pulled out the prince's skin on the spot!" Dapeng was filled with fighting spirit and furious. He wished he could go to the imperial capital to fight with the prince right now.
Jin Lingzi argued: "It was not his father who invited him to Jin Lingzong as a guest, but he came uninvited and wanted Jin Lingzong to cooperate with them to capture a rock brown bear in the realm of heaven."
Dapeng immediately slapped the table and said, "Yes, that's right, that rock brown bear. The main purpose of our journey westward is for him. Unexpectedly, the Tianfu royal family found it first."
"That battle was really shocking!" Jin Lingzi recalled the battle in the snow, trembling slightly, and said excitedly: "Brother Ling's name as the Great Demon King came from here and began to be known by the world. .”
Ling Wu fought with more than thirty peerless experts from the Tianfu royal family in the mountains and forests. The fight was so dark that the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dim, and no one survived in the heavenly realm. Only five powerful men in the heavenly realm were left who were seriously injured and had no success. And return.
Dapeng snorted coldly and said, "If my brothers and sisters don't need to be taken care of, Master Peng will let them all stay."
At that time, the black-winged roc was protecting Tang Qinxin and the infant Ling Han in Sanguan Temple, and did not participate in that battle.
Jin Lingzi recalled: "That battle made the royal family very angry. They vowed to kill Brother Ling. Not only did they issue a death order to the lord of Xieyang City, they did not hesitate to send troops to trample the mountains and forests. They also forced their father to send strong men from the Jin Ling Sect to intercept and kill him. .”
"Just one sentence to do justice for heaven and kill the demon clan! Countless heroes from all walks of life rushed to the mountains and forests. Their original intention was to punish evil and promote good, but they lost their own lives in vain. I am afraid that I will die without knowing why I died and whether it was worth it." .”
It was another battle, a bigger one, a more intense and bloody scene, with flashes of swords and shadows, corpses everywhere, blood staining the white snow, and countless lonely ghosts wandering around the world, including the five heavenly beings who had made a comeback. A strong person!
That day, the sky was filled with heavy snow.
That day was known as the Fall of Heaven.
Jin Lingzi drank a bowl of wine alone and looked out the window in a daze. After a long time, he said sadly: "My father also died after this war..."
