Way of Mysterious World - Chapter 697
“Xuanting, this is the Fu drawing room arranged by zongmen for you. It’s acceptable to have a look!” two days later, Liu Yu went to the holy Fu hall with yue’er. The “Qiuxing Taoist” who was in charge of the holy Fu hall in the later stage of building the foundation met in person. After some greetings, the “Qiuxing Taoist” took Liu Yu to a spacious Fu room.
“Listen to martial uncle’s arrangement!” Liu Yu glanced at the room. The whole room was very spacious. It was divided into inner and outer rooms by the landing smoke and cloud painting screen in the middle. The inner room was the symbol painting area. A wide ink symbol table was filled with a series of tools such as pen, paper, ink, inkstone and frame. A jade mat soft collapse was also set near the inner wall for rest.
The room outside their station is a teahouse with tea tables, low stools, incense burners and other utensils. A complete set of ruby tea sets are displayed on the tea table. You can have a tea nap in your spare time and entertain visitors here. In short, Liu Yu is very satisfied.
“Come and sit down! In the future, martial nephew will draw runes here. Tell the storeroom about all the runes you need, and then the storeroom disciples will send them!” Taoist Qiuxing asked Liu Yu to sit down and said.
“Xuanting knows! You can go to the Fuwu hall to ask for the task of drawing talismans every day?” Liu Yu has worked in the Holy Fuwu hall before. She knows the daily operation of the Holy Fuwu hall. The fufu master needs to draw what kind of talismans and how many. The Fuwu hall will arrange them every morning. The fufu master can go to the warehouse to get an appropriate amount of talismans according to his personal task.
“That’s right! Martial nephew used to be the deacon of blood refining in our hall. These poor people don’t have much to say. The salary of the deacon of” senior talisman “in this hall is 24 intermediate spirit stones, 10000 sect contribution points and three” green guest pills “every year.” Taoist Qiu Xing nodded and said slowly.
The “senior talisman” in the population of Qiuxing Taoist school is a general title for the clan’s ability to make talismans. It is divided into three levels: primary, intermediate and advanced. The condition for reaching advanced level is to master the drawing skills of three kinds of four grade talismans. Naturally, Liu Yu has already achieved it, and Yueer is also a “senior talisman”.
Liu Yu is now proficient in six rare talismans such as “five poisons exploding miasma”, and yue’er began to try to draw five talismans. It can be seen that this title is too general and can not effectively distinguish the talismanship ability of senior talismans. In fact, there is a standard title for talismans in the cultivation world.
It is divided into nine levels. The first three levels are all talismans, and the last four to nine can be called “talismans”. The condition is to master a corresponding level of talismans. The talisman rate of this talisman shall not be less than 70%. This standard title is used for certification. Liu Yu is a sixth level talisman, while yue’er can only be regarded as a fourth level talisman.
“Xuanting will go to the Fu Wu hall to see today’s Fu painting task!” there are three “Qingke pills” every year, one more than he expected. Liu Yu couldn’t help but say with joy.
“Martial nephew, the task of drawing talismans today is to draw eight talismans of” Yin wind stab “. I’ll let the warehouse bring them to you later. Well, martial nephew, I’ll have a rest here. I still have some trivial things, so I’ll go first!” Taoist Qiuxing got up and said.
“Martial uncle, take your time!” seeing off Taoist Qiu Xing, Liu Yu frowned slightly. It’s really not so easy to take three “Qingke pills” every year. Drawing eight “Yin Feng stabs” a day is not easy. It takes a long time and consumes soul Qi. However, it’s worth the extra “Qingke pills”.
…
In the morning, dozens of humble wooden houses were built near a cold pool at the foot of the black and white mountains. In front of these wooden houses, there was an open space. This was a remote border guard post of sanzong, called “black pool outpost”. At the moment, several teams of guards were lined up in the open space for a morning meeting. The deacon of the outpost was a gloomy middle-aged Taoist.
“Martial uncle! What should we do with the two thieves caught by the sixth team yesterday?” one of the people in the line stepped forward and arched his hands and asked.
“Send it to” Lingya sentry “as usual!” the middle-aged Taoist said immediately. The “Lingya sentry” in his mouth is a large sentry in the west of the sentry. Heitan Sentry is under the jurisdiction of “Lingya sentry”. These two thieves are two smugglers arrested by the guard.
At present, sanzong, lingbeast sect and tianluomi sect are in a state of armistice, and trade is prohibited between the two sides. In addition to undertaking the tasks of vigilance and inspection to prevent the enemy’s cross-border infiltration, the border guard office also needs to strictly investigate cross-border smuggling and crack down on increasingly frequent smugglers.
Most of the arrested smugglers are casual practitioners. Once caught, it depends on the volume and value of the smuggled goods. At least they suffer from the disaster of labor. The three most tired and dirty mines and stone factories are where these people go. At most, they are executed on the spot. Therefore, they are fugitives who ignore life and death.
At such a high price, they are desperate because of huge profits from smuggling. Tianluo Ganbei grassland is rich in fungus and grass spiritual materials. The spiritual animal sect sells all levels of spiritual animal cubs at a low price. Three occupy the fertile land of Yunzhou. They are rich in products and can cultivate all kinds of spiritual materials. In short, each sect has its own famous specialty.
Since the last war, sanzong, Lingwu sect and tianluomi sect have completely opposed each other. Previously, some border trade markets were opened to exchange needs. Now they have all been closed, which has led to the rapid rise in the price of some spiritual materials, such as the “snow insect fungus grass” only growing in the dry North grassland.
“Snow insect fungus grass” is a special insect shaped fungus grass formed by the egg laying larvae of the third-order snow moth under the soil, invaded and eaten by fungus grass, reproducing hyphae in the larvae and occupying the larvae. It is the main medicine of the three-level Lingdan “snow grass pill” and the four-level Lingdan “snow fungus pill” in the water system, which is ten times rare.
Before the opening of the trade market, the selling price of this fungus was not low. One plant in ordinary years was about 300 low-grade spiritual stones, while one plant with a year of more than 100 years was no less than 700 low-grade spiritual stones. Now, the selling price of an ordinary plant in the market is 500 low-grade spiritual stones, and one plant with a year of more than 100 years is no less than 1000.
It can be seen that there are profits from smuggling. It is no wonder that many casual practitioners take risks. If they are not caught, they will get enough to practice for several years. This also increases the risk faced by the guard members of the post.
Because these fugitives are found, they will not be willing to be captured. A fight is inevitable. Although the combat power of each disciple is naturally much higher than these fugitives from casual practice, they will inevitably be killed and injured, not to mention that there are many ruthless people who have experienced many battles among these fugitives.
In order to cope with the increasingly rampant smuggling activities, each case has also stepped up its crackdown. First, it hired people from small and medium-sized Xiuzhen families to increase the number of border guard posts. Second, it seized smuggled stolen goods, half of which were turned over to the clan and half kept by themselves, which curbed the spread of smuggling activities.
“OK! If there is nothing else, let’s start and change posts!” the middle-aged Taoist waved.
“Yes! Xuan’an Du Tong!” the sentinels in the formation immediately responded with one voice. Then, under the leadership of the heads of the guard teams, they took off one after another, flew to the curved and low “four legged mountain” not far away, and went to replace guard No. 2, 4, 6 and 8 who had been stationed for half a month.
“Four foot mountain” is a small branch of the Qi snake mountain range. The Qi snake mountain range is like a winding giant snake in the forest. The “four foot mountain” is like the snake feet of the giant snake, and there are a total of eight branches extending like feet. The “four foot mountain” is named because it is the fourth.
There are nine guards in “Heitan sentry”. Each team has more than 10 people. The decimal number is the inner disciples, and most of them are hired outer disciples. For guard No. 1, there are five inner disciples and up to 11 outer disciples.
The garrison area is a long and narrow section on the east side of the “four foot mountain”, the starting point of the north line “Heishan sentry” on the right, and the west line “Lingya sentry” on the left. With the “four foot mountain” as the boundary, the north side is the boundary of Lingshou sect, and the south side is the boundary of sanzong sect, which is remote and dangerous.
Because the great wasteland sword sect was defeated and occupied by the tianluomi sect, the “front guard outpost” originally relying on the Qingfeng city disappeared. Now there are only “North guard outposts” in the north of the three sects, which is divided into two lines of defense. One is the north line, which is bounded by the narrow border of the affiliated country recaptured in the last war under the jurisdiction of the lingbing palace and the lingbeast palace.
The western line is still bounded by the Qishe mountains, mainly against the Tianluo Tantra, but the defense line has been greatly shortened.
The “Lingya sentry” and “Heitan sentry” are located at the junction of the two lines. They are subtle. Although they are bound by the armistice agreement and the garrison of both sides are very restrained, private provocations and conflicts still occur from time to time, and bloodshed and casualties are common.
In addition, the Tianluo Tantra sect occupied the original territory of the Dahuang sword sect. As a result, the Tianluo Tantra sect directly borders the south of lingbing palace and the west of Huang Shengzong. The three sects had to set up a new “Nanwei outpost”.
The defense line consists of the south of lingbing palace and the west of Huang Shengzong, which has forced the number of three garrison disciples to nearly double, which is still under the condition of hiring a large number of external disciples.
“Zhang Zhen, how many people will you take to escort the two thieves to” Lingya sentry “?” after several sentry guards fly away, there will be only No. 9 guard left in the open space square. No. 9 guard is the guard team of the sentry post, and there is no need to go out to garrison on weekdays. If other guard posts are in danger, dare to support them in case of emergency. It is used as a reserved team to guard the sentry camp, and also as a law enforcement team to deal with some trivial matters.
“OK, master!” Zhang Zhen, the disciple of Wang Ping and the descendant of Tian Ping, came to the post to guard the border with the Master Wang Ping. He nodded in response.
“Lv Yu, you go to patrol along with the poor road!” after that, Wang Ping took off with his sword. LV Yu, captain of the No. 9 guard, hurriedly followed his sword and flew to the “four foot mountain” one by one.
“I’ll see Du Tong!”
“Yes!”
…
From time to time along the way, we met the sentinel disciples who had been replaced to rest. These disciples took the initiative to come forward to see the ceremony, and Wang Ping nodded in response one by one.
After about a column of incense, the two came to a dense forest in the middle of the “four foot mountain” defense line. LV Fei, the captain of the seventh team, who took over the garrison, was waiting in the forest with several confidants.
“Dutong is coming!” seeing Wang Ping and his second brother LV Yu flying, LV Fei immediately greeted him with people.
“Has anyone arrived?” Wang Ping asked with a dignified face.
“Already waiting five miles away!” Lv Fei said softly.
“Let them come over!” Wang Ping said with a deep breath.
“The second younger brother, you go to meet him!” Lv Fei nodded to the second younger brother, LV Yu.
“Good big brother!” Lv Yu nodded and immediately flew to the direction behind him.
“Dutong! My men and brothers will disperse first. If there is any movement, it will stimulate the” spiritual word sign “!” Lv Yu arched his hand and said.
“Go!” Wang Ping waved and said. Then LV Yu and others dispersed as before to guard against movements around. If they found that the sect was patrolling law enforcement disciples, they would immediately inform them with a rumor.
“Dutong, they’re here!” soon, LV Yu returned with his sword. The dense forest behind him shook for a while. Looking closely, he followed a pack team composed of more than a dozen tall “rock wolves”. On the broad back of these more than a dozen adult “rock wolves”, several heavy “spirit mustard containers” were hung on each head.
“Let them keep up!” Wang Ping took back his eyes, and then the imperial sword flew to the depths of the “four legged mountain”, and the pack team in the dense forest immediately followed. “Rock mountain wolf” galloped quickly between the dense woods and steep mountains and rocks under the whip of the riders, so he was tired and panting.
Along the way, Wang Ping’s eyes were vigilant and constantly looked around. The pack team led the way in person at the outpost. Naturally, there was no accident. It soon reached a rocky area deep in the “four legged mountain”, which is also the middle boundary between sanzong and lingbeast Zong in the “four legged mountain”.
“Taoist xuan’an, you’re all right!” at this time, the “black eagle whistle” of the spirit beast sect has been unified by the cold tooth Taoist priest for a long time. The “black eagle whistle” is the outpost of the spirit beast Sect on the north side of the “four foot mountain”, which can be said to be as powerful as the “Black Tan whistle” of the three sects.
“I’ve seen cold tooth Taoist friend!” the two said hello across the air. Wang Ping immediately took LV Yu and turned back. Under the escort of the cold tooth Taoist, the pack team smoothly entered the territory of the spirit beast sect. When the pack team unloaded and returned, someone would send Wang Ping a rich spirit stone.
This pack team belongs to a hunting Gang called “hundred rats” in the black and white mountains. The leader of this gang, the “rat king”, and the Black Lake outpost are all personal friends of “Dai mountain Taoist”.
Wang Ping was ordered to come to the “Beiwei outpost” with his good friend Xia Houpian. Xia Houpian worked at the “Lingya outpost”, while Wang Ping dispatched “Heitan outpost” to replace the outgoing “Dai mountain Taoist”.
Wang Ping has been worrying about Zhang Tianyi for so many years. Zhang Tianyi’s accomplishments have improved rapidly, but his accomplishments have been delayed and his promotion has been slow. Now he voluntarily comes to the “North guard outpost” to secure more cultivation materials for himself and Zhang Tianyi.
In the face of the “Dai mountain Taoist” secretly promising a large amount of financial resources, Wang Ping thought again and again, and finally agreed to help the “hundred rats Gang” as a cover for smuggling. Every time the “hundred rats Gang” smuggled goods like today, the “hundred rats Gang” would send Wang Ping a reward afterwards.
Wang Ping finally agreed to participate because the “hundred rats Gang” and the “Dai mountain Taoist” acted very secretly. For one thing, these people took great pains to add a lot of people to the “Heitan whistle”. For example, LV Fei and LV Yu were the people of the “Dai mountain Taoist”. There were more than ten such dark children in the whistle.
Second, every time they smuggle and take goods, they have made full preparations in advance. There are people around to guard, and there has never been a mistake. Moreover, the spirit beast Sect on the other side has established a relationship with these people. The “black eagle whistle” is the leader of the cold tooth Taoist priest and the Suo family.
Although it’s only a side branch, I heard that the Suo family is the second family of the spirit beast sect. The new patriarch, immortal Youlong, went out to the Suo family and overtook the original first family butcher family. It’s only a matter of time.
In this way, the spirit beast sect would not have a problem. He looked after it in person on the south side of the “four legged mountain”, and there would be no trouble. Wang Ping should do it.
