Reminiscing about old times has brought them closer together, and shared memories and topics have deepened their sense of identity. Jin Xiaodie asked this little sibling how he was doing, and thought of giving him a hand. . She euphemistically suggested to Jin Sansheng that he should follow her to Dongming City, where there would be more opportunities to get ahead. She was one of the first people to follow the city lord, whether it was Si Yan, Zhi Ku, Ai Fang or Red Star Merit Hall, More or less, it gives her some face.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For a mortal, there is a world of difference from the outer city to the inner city. Jin Sansheng took a deep breath and agreed immediately without thinking too much.
Happy but not excited, calm but not panicked. He was young and had such a character. Jin Xiaodie looked at him with admiration and couldn't help but cultivate him.
Jin Xiaodie called shopkeeper Zhao in and made it clear in a few words. Shopkeeper Zhao was only obedient, but she didn't know what it felt like in her heart. I knew it was a big fish, but I didn't expect it to be so big that it would overturn the boat. That's pretty much how I felt.
Jin Sansheng had nothing to pack, so he went back as soon as he left, carrying a small baggage in his hand and a piccolo in his waist, saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Zhao, and followed Jin Xiaodie without looking back.
One journey ends, another journey begins, and it goes on step by step until the end of life.
The sky was covered with clouds, Jie Tian Ridge was like a lying giant, the forest waves roared, and the mist was thick. Jin Sansheng tightened his clothes and stepped into Dongming City.
The outer city and the inner city are two different worlds, not between immortals and mortals, but between human and hell. Dongming City is a ghost town, with rampant Yin energy and dense ghost energy. Jin Sansheng's face changed drastically, his knees weakened, and he almost fell to his knees on the spot.
"Hey, I was negligent!" Jin Xiaodie hurriedly popped out a bean-sized pill and warned, "Yin energy enters the bones, hurting the body and mind. Just swallow this Yuanyang Pill and you'll be fine."
Jin Sansheng took the pill and was about to swallow it when his soul suddenly trembled. A stream of heat surged out of his Dantian and spread all over his body. The Yin Qi disappeared in an instant, and his bones felt as warm as if they were soaked in hot water. He paused, calmly, and swallowed the Yuanyang Pill.
"how?"
"Much better." After tasting the salty, sweet and bitter taste, the light porridge was tasteless. The little bit of Yuanyang Dan's medicinal power was better than nothing, but he hid his shock deep in his heart and did not show any abnormality.
Jin Xiaodie has been practicing Soul Capturing Technique for many years. She is immersed in Soul Capturing Soul Searching Soul Requiem and is not familiar with the introduction of sword cultivation. She pondered for a moment, then led Jin Sansheng to the Scarlet Star Merit Hall, found Li Lanxiang, and asked her to do it for him. There are one or two temptations.
The result made her overjoyed. Jin Sansheng turned out to have the innate qualifications of the Seven Apertures, so it was no problem to join the Kunlun Branch.
Jin Xiaodie was born in a shady family and missed the path to the great road, which was a lifelong regret. She thought about it for a long time and decided to choose a teacher for Jin Sansheng so as not to delay his future. During the most difficult period back then, she abandoned her clan and felt a little guilty in her heart. Jin Sansheng became an opportunity for her to atone for her sins. Even she herself was not aware of this.
Choosing a master is not an easy task. Jin Xiaodie was interested in Kunlun's direct lineage and begged many people, but all of them were rejected. The direct line is very strict in selecting disciples. Jin Sansheng is old and not of the highest quality. Jin Xiaodie's face is not enough for them to make an exception.
He was temporarily placed as an apprentice in a cabinet workshop.
The cabinet shop that has been in Zhenhai for fifteen years is no longer the humble shop with a small facade. Under the strong promotion of the city owner, the cabinet shop has jurisdiction over the Sui, Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, integrating issuance, savings, investment, and lending. , has grown into an unprecedented behemoth, controlling the lifeblood of Dongming City, including shops, warehouses, gambling houses, brothels, wherever profits are made, there are cabinet shops involved, and the only ones who can stay out are Red Star Hall of Merit.
The four tribes of Aifang, the Sui tribe, the Tang tribe, the Song tribe, and the Yuan tribe, these strange names were said to be the city lord's idea.
For Jin Sansheng, this was a brand new experience. He learned everything greedily, just like when he was in the fur shop. He repeated that amazing experience and created a legend. From apprentice to clerk, from clerk to deacon, from deacon to shopkeeper, traveling through the four departments of the cabinet shop, it only took Jin Sansheng three short years, and with his outstanding performance, he officially entered Chu Ge's field of vision and won himself a rare Opportunity.
That year was the 18th year of Zhenhai. Qi Ku officially withdrew from Dongming City and merged into Ai Fang, becoming the new fifth department, Ming Department. From then on, Ai Fang took "pawn" under its control. This was a major change. This means that the Kunlun Sect has only one voice left in Dongming City, and that is the voice of Chu Ge, the Five Elements Sect.
The realization of all this is the result of the conspiracy between Wei Shiqi and Chu Ge.
From the time when Qiku was handed over to Kunlun, the direct descendants fell step by step into a completely unfamiliar quagmire, and could no longer escape the influence of Dongming City. Only then did the cabinet shop get the crucial first move. From then on, Chu Ge relied on the cabinet shop and developed step by step. He used "inflation" to attack the Poison Sword Sect and Yujian Sect, and finally became a truly dominant family. This was a nail-biting victory, a calculated one without any intention. Until the dust settled in the end, Shi Tiezhong and Mo Anchuan didn't understand what the problem was. They could only lament that the situation had changed and that their generation was getting older.
Sharing the victory with the Five Elements Sect at the same time, there was also the side branch of the Xiandu Sect. Long before Chu Ge launched his attack, Lu Wei exchanged the "flying money" for "Aphrodisiac" at his reminder and escaped the disaster. , while the Pingyuan Sect and the Xuantong Sect watched as the "flying money" on hand was reduced to useless paper overnight, years of savings were wiped out, and the sect became a vassal of the Xiandu Sect, unable to resist.
In his third year at the cabinet shop, Jin Sansheng had already gained Chu Ge's trust and attention, and began to get in touch with some confidential matters. He immediately realized that it was a genius design to replace the circulation of "apophyllite" with "flying money". It was a sharp sword hanging above his head, and the hand of fate holding his throat. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he admired the city lord so much that he fell to the ground.
A year, three hundred and sixty-five days, the sun and the moon rotate, and the four seasons change. Jin Sansheng witnessed the turmoil in Dongming City with his own eyes. He was deeply worried about it. He dreamed about it at midnight and was soaked in cold sweat several times. He is worried that someone will be blinded by the power of others, that the dog will jump over the wall, the charter will be reduced to waste paper, and the rules will exist in name only. However, all this did not happen, and the turmoil did not turn into riots and riots, because the city lord's rules were posted at the entrance of the city, clearly and clearly, and they had not faded through the wind and rain.
Come into my city and abide by my rules, that's all.
The monks who had lost their fortunes had mixed reactions. Some were furious, some were dejected, some were complaining, and some were gloating about the misfortune. However, no one left Dongming City.
They can no longer leave this city.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 18th year of Zhenhai, Chu Ge entertained guests in Dongming City, drank wine, admired the moon, and spent the night together. In addition to the confidants of Wuxing Sect and Aikifang, he also invited ten people including Wei Shiqi, Ruan Jing, Qin Zhen, Yu Yao, Cheng Hou, Xun Ye, Xiao Bai, Xu Hu, Luo Sha Nu, and Lu Wei.
Jin Sansheng was the only mortal who had the honor to attend.
Before the bottle of wine was opened, a cold gaze fell on him. After a long time, Jin Sansheng raised his head and saw Ruan Jing for the first time.
At this glance, his soul was shaken and his hair stood on end.
