The relocation of mortals was just a trivial matter. Duan Wenhuan and Cao Jinren were actually handling the matter. Chen Suzhen only showed her nakedness when Ouyang Quan entered the city and exchanged a few words. Cheng Hou and Lu Wei controlled it from afar, and everything went smoothly. .dt. From the third day onwards, the number of people moving into Dongming City reached its peak. They were helping the old and the young, dragging their children along with them, and the flow continued from morning to night. Duan Wenhuan did not refuse anyone who came, and just went to the city to pick up people. , after finishing writing thick account books one after another, he still sat upright and showed no signs of fatigue.
After staying at Xianyun Peak for more than ten years, the flowers fell and the clouds rolled and relaxed, which made him think about many things. His qualifications are limited, and no matter how hard he works, he cannot break through his own limits. After all, the side branch is a side branch, and his background is limited. Over the years, there has only been one Xun Ye. But what matters is not cultivation, but whether you can hold a thick thigh at the right time. Chen Suzhen was one of the lucky ones who stood out under the same sect of the Xiandu Guardsmen. This luck came from the good relationship she forged when someone was "humble".
The man he looked down on back then suddenly became a sensation, soared up to the top, and trampled Kunlun under his feet. The fate of life could be so bizarre! If I had known it now, why bother——
It is not terrible to bow to reality. People should always try to learn to grow up. Just think about it. Duan Wenhuan shamelessly came to Dongming City and begged the Wei Master for mercy. Wei Rongniang intentionally left him in the Red Star Merit Hall. , mentioned to Senior Brother Xunye that he wanted to ask for a favor from Wei Shiqi. Xunye thought for a moment and did not object directly. He just said that Wei Shiqi was born in Xiandu, and the little affection he had back then would be less if he used it up. , Good steel should be used on the blade.
So Wei Rongniang entrusted Duan Wenhuan to another apprentice, Chen Suzhen, and went to Scarlet Star City to deal with a bunch of lowly mortals.
During those years in Scarlet Star City, Duan Wenhuan was neither humble nor arrogant, showed no signs of impatience, did his own thing honestly, was not afraid of difficulties, and was not aggressive. His every move fell into the eyes of Chen Suzhen, and she secretly took care of him, allowing him to gradually replace him. Cao Jinren's position became the second most powerful figure in Scarlet Star City. As for Cao Jinren, he has been around for a long time. When Dongming City moves to Luoyang, this outer disciple of Xiandu will switch to Cheng Hou and become his right-hand man.
In Dongming City, cultivation has never been the most important thing. Even Chu Ge agrees with this. If Cao Jinren intends to find another job, he can choose the deacons of the six departments of the cabinet. Even the position of shopkeeper can be discussed.
The really important matter of "registration" is progressing equally smoothly. On the one hand, as one of the current vested interests and one of the future power holders, Chu Ge, Lu Wei, Qiu Tiangu and Qiyun defy all opinions and take the lead in registering. On the other hand, , with Wei Shiqi personally in charge, Xiaoyuxiaxia couldn't make any waves, everything was done step by step, in an orderly manner, with Chenghou taking charge and making great efforts.
The sky was dark and the earth was dark, and ten days flew by. On this day, in front of many monks who were eagerly watching, Wei Shiqi put Dongming City into the waterfall sword, said hello, and boarded the wishful flying boat with Ruan Jing and Chu Ge. It turned into a white light and disappeared into the sky. All the monks dispersed in a hurry, and each showed his magical power and fled to Luoyang. Huzigou was empty of people, and only half of the city's ordinary people were left in the Kunlun Mountains. But they have never thought that without Dongming City, is it necessary for Scarlet Star City to exist?
Ruan Jing stood at the bow of the boat, concentrating on controlling the flying boat without any distractions. The Ruyi flying boat escaped very fast, flashed a few times, and then disappeared into the vast darkness.
Wei Shiqi returned this time, acting resolutely, decisively, and in such a hurry. It was completely different from his usual way of doing things. Chu Ge guessed some clues. At this moment, he didn't bother to interfere with outsiders and asked directly: "Junior brother, next time the star falls, what will happen?" Could it be that you are in Huzigou?"
Wei Shiqi laughed and said: "I'm not a god, how can I be so accurate? However, the whim is true. The Central Plains has suffered two meteors and is in dilapidated state. The next time, I'm afraid it won't be in the East China Sea. Just in the Western Region.”
Chu Ge's heart sank. Wei Shiqi once suggested that the direct line of Kunlun and the side branches should be moved to Dongming City. Pu Tianwei did not agree, and Wei Shiqi did not force it. The side branches were fine. If Liushi Peak was really destroyed by a natural disaster, how would Pu Tianwei handle himself? ? How should the Kunlun Sect deal with themselves? He was confused when he cared, and couldn't help but ask: "How sure are you?"
Wei Shiqi said: "How can we be sure about God's matter? It can only be said that the possibility of Xingyun landing in Luoyang again is extremely small."
Chu Ge grasped his idea, but was it just a possibility? He felt vaguely uneasy and found it difficult to express.
"Headmaster Park stayed at Liushi Peak?"
"Yes, Master, he didn't want to abandon the inheritance of our ancestors, so he sent everyone away. Only he and Grandma Sun stayed on the Flowing Stone Peak."
Wei Shiqiu smiled and said: "We will live and die together with Liushi Peak?"
Chu Ge smiled bitterly and said, "Master didn't say it clearly, so that's probably what he meant."
"Yes, there are three caves and four valleys, Chishui Cliff, Shiliangyan, and Dinglu Pit. There are so many good places that really make people reluctant to leave them." Wei Shiqi thought thoughtfully. He had been at Liushi Peak for many years, and he couldn't say he was nostalgic at all. No, that's just a tough talk. Whether it's Taoist Ziyang, Qingming, Pu Tianwei or Chu Ge, they are all good to him. It doesn't matter whether they have ulterior motives or not. Without that period of time, I wouldn't be who I am today.
In a few words, Chu Ge realized his weakness and helplessness. Since when did he have to look up to Wei Qi? It's been a long time since they had a chance to have a drink and talk. When was the last time? Wei Shiqi is getting stronger and stronger, and they are becoming more and more distant. But Chu Ge vaguely felt that none of this was intentional by Wei Shiqi. His improvement in cultivation had changed him a lot. He seemed to be suppressing the beast in his body and trying his best to stay awake and himself. Being rejected by this world, the threads of fate are torn apart one by one, and in the end you can only leave, taking nothing with you and leaving nothing behind. This is the inevitable outcome for the strong.
He corrected his mentality, briefly talked about the monks' "registration", and asked: "What should we do with those monks who have not settled down?"
"It's okay, let them be."
Chu Ge couldn't help but ask: "What difference does it make whether you have settled down or not?" He promoted this matter with a strong attitude. It would never be possible for the thunder to be big and the rain to be small, there must be a back-up plan.
"Just leaving a foreshadowing - for example, the monks who are registered must pay taxes and perform labor services on a regular basis. The monks who are not registered are subject to various restrictions. They are not allowed to open a shop in Dongming City, and are not allowed to accept commissions in the Red Star Merit Hall. The world There is no free lunch, and the specific decision is up to the five of you to discuss and act, I will not interfere."
The five people refer to Qin Zhen, Chu Ge, Lu Wei, Qiu Tian, and Gu Qiyun. They respectively represent the interests of the three Nanman sects of the Kunlun branch of the direct line of the city lord and control the affairs of Dongming City. Chu Ge's heart skipped a beat. Wei Shiqi's few words opened up a whole new world for him. It turned out that the seemingly ordinary "Luo Ji" could actually produce so many articles. His mind was spinning very fast, and he subconsciously I followed up by asking, "What is the government called in the fairyland when it comes to paying taxes, doing labor service, and the human government?"
Wei Shiqi looked at the dark sky and said: "The five-person meeting, why not call it a 'parliament'?"
