Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 104 Shuan Longgang

What you seek through practice is longevity, not killing.

Naturally, not all monks would focus on improving their combat power by cultivating themselves to the heavens.

Especially in a relatively stable environment like the Nine Sects in the South, where the upper level is too high, even if you want to kill people and seize treasures, you have to worry about the eight lords; the nine sects check and balance each other, no one can do anything to anyone, and there is no way to fight a war to destroy the sect. , over time, the 'rules' unique to the Immortal family came into being.

Since they could not occupy their cultivation resources by force, each major sect created side businesses, such as the talismans in Fulong Mountain, the elixirs in the Medicine Tower, the weapon training in Heavenly Emperor City, etc.

Where there are goods, there are trade routes, and the same is true for spiritual practice. Shuanlong Port at the southernmost point of the Great Yan Dynasty was one of the stopping places for Xianjia merchants; however, this place is not a major shipping route, and only two large ships pass by here every month. , all coming from the big ferry at Jingtaitai and Yunshuijiantan, and ending at Linyuan City, the capital of the country thousands of miles away.

Next to the Xianjia Ferry, there must be a large number of monks staying, gradually forming a market; in the past, the caravans of the Great Dan Dynasty purchased various cultivation materials here.

After Zuo Lingquan left Wuminggang, he traveled three hundred miles north along the river. The next afternoon, he finally arrived at this ferry he had heard about for a long time.

The sun sets in the west, and there are waves on the river.

Entering the jurisdiction of the Great Yan Dynasty, there are obviously more people practicing. Shuanlong Port, located on the east bank of the Qingdu River, has countless merchants and monks coming in and out. From the surface, it is an ordinary port, except that it is larger than the port of the Great Dan Dynasty. There is actually not much difference.

Because it is taboo to walk with swords above the heads of the crowd, there was no scene of monks flying above the port. On the way Zuo Lingquan rode his horse, he did see a few experts walking with swords, but before approaching the town , I walked on foot. This may be because of self-cultivation, and secondly, there is no harm in keeping a low profile when going out.

Zuo Lingquan turned over and dismounted outside the port. Before he entered the port, he saw a woman wearing an ordinary skirt standing in the willow forest along the river.

The woman wears a veil that covers her face, holds a long sword, and is dressed like a Jianghu woman. She stands on tiptoes and looks down the road.

After not seeing each other for nearly two months, Zuo Lingquan still recognized at a glance that this was the Aunt Wu he had longed for. He quickened his pace, walked up to him and greeted:

"Senior Wu."

"Ling Quan, why did you come here?"

When Wu Qingwan went out, she dressed quite low-key, even her breasts were too small. Ever since Zuo Lingquan was too late to come back from visiting relatives in his hometown and the envoy team set off early, Wu Qingwan felt a little regretful. When she saw Zuo Lingquan arriving, who was tired of traveling, she quickly walked up to him and said softly:

"We originally wanted to wait for you, but time was tight and the team of envoys was moving slowly, so we had to leave early. But when we got here, we found that the ship would not arrive for six or seven days. If I had known better, I would have left with you. "

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Zuo Lingquan walked up to Wu Qingwan and pinched Wu Qingwan's buttocks quietly. The touch was tight but not elastic, which made people's hearts tremble. He smiled and said:

"Just catch up. Where are Jiang Yi and the others?"

Wu Qingwan was suddenly raped secretly, and her body trembled. She was a little excited about being newly married after a long absence, but now it disappeared. She frowned slightly, pretending to be a teacher, raised her hand and slapped Zuo Lingquan on the arm:

"It's not big or small, what's the matter with you? Go back to visit your relatives and start drifting?"

Zuo Lingquan held back for two months, strictly speaking, he was a bit brainy. Seeing Wu Qingwan become serious, he smiled:

"Ling Quan knows his mistake."

Wu Qingwan pursed her lips. Zuo Lingquan didn't want to talk to the public, so she stopped talking and walked in front to lead the way, with a look of 'I'm not happy if you don't obey me'.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan didn't know what to do, but walked behind, feeling the faint fragrance of dark orchids that he hadn't felt for a long time.

Jiang Yi led a team to meet the Emperor Dayan, it was impossible to be alone, and he brought dozens of officials and entourages with him.

In addition, Jiang Yi was accompanied by bodyguards, including several worship elders sent from Qihuang Valley. In addition to the newly arrived Liu Chunfeng and Lanzhi, Cheng Jiujiang also came with him - this is not because Cheng Jiujiang was shameless. It's because without Yue Pingyang, Cheng Jiujiang is the highest-level local monk in the Great Dan Dynasty. Without him, he can't bring the sweeping elder Yue Heng out to support his appearance.

Because of Tang Jingxun's relationship with Phoenix, her status was a bit special, so Jiang Yi took her with her. Although Jiang Yi was a little jealous and unhappy, and Tang Jingxuan was reluctant to part with his own property, in the end the two of them reached a tacit understanding without saying anything and set off honestly.

Zuo Lingquan followed Wu Qingwan and turned left and right in the unfamiliar market, headed for the inn where he stayed, and soon came to a long street in the northeast corner of the port.

The long street is built along the river, and there are crowds of people on the street. Most of them can be seen as practitioners. There is even a long queue in the middle of a three-story building.

Wu Qingwan has been staying in Shuanlonggang for the past two days, so she is familiar with shopping. She slowed down and walked beside her, and said softly:

"This is the Fairy Market. I heard our enshrined Immortal Master say that this is just a small place, not as good as other places, but it seems to me to be very big. The three-story building in front is the property of Tiedong Mansion , The white jade baht of our entire Great Dan Dynasty came from there."

On the way Zuo Lingquan came here, he had already heard about the power of Tiedong Mansion - the fairy coins used by all the sects in the nine sects in the south were uniformly minted by Tiedong Mansion; they could control the minting power, credibility, qualifications, and strength. Both are indispensable, and its influence can be imagined.

Zuo Lingquan followed the words and looked at the huge tall building. He could see the sign of 'Chen Gui Building' hanging at the door. The monks outside had sent a long team. In the lane next to it, there were some monks gathered together, as if they were trading. what.

Zuo Lingquan asked: "From here, can you exchange silver coins into white jade baht?"

Wu Qingwan walked with graceful steps and nodded:

"Yes, no more, no less, one hundred taels of silver each. But don't even think about exchanging it for tens of thousands of white jade baht."

"Why? It's hard to transport money from outside the customs here?"

"There is a limit. There is a limit of one per day. If you want more, you can either use heavenly materials and earthly treasures to appraise them, or you can only exchange them from those black traders. The more you have, the more expensive you are."

Zuo Lingquan glanced at the alleyway and said doubtfully:

"Why are there so many restrictions?"

"That's not all. To exchange for mortal gold and silver, you have to go to the local government to open a document. The Tieyong Mansion is a wealthy family of the Immortal Family. It is true that they need gold and silver, but they don't need much. It is useless to exchange for so much silver; besides, , I heard that when there were no restrictions in the past, there were many monks who went to rob people to obtain gold and silver. Even though the Iron Head Mansion killed many people and set many restrictions, there are still wild cultivators who take risks. If it were not for taking care of the low-level people, Independent Cultivator, I guess the Iron Mansion wants to stop the exchange channels."

When Zuo Lingquan heard this explanation, he naturally understood and nodded: "The more restrictions there are, the better... But if the money cannot be exchanged, how can a monk earn immortal money?"

Wu Qingwan slightly shrugged his shoulders: "The big sect has a sect guarantee and can negotiate privately with the nine sects. The young monks can only work as coolies. Just like in Qihuang Valley, they either go out to dig for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or go to It would be much more comfortable to work as a guard for a wealthy family when running errands. For those with higher cultivation levels, it would be much more comfortable if they could get a position of worship. If you don't want to contribute, you can only go to the wilderness to kill people and seize treasures; but if you do this kind of thing, if you are nearby If any sect finds out, they will be killed on the spot. Those with great ability are on the execution list of the nine sects, and basically they can only escape from the jurisdiction of the nine sects."

"What if it's not discovered?"

"..."

Wu Qingwan narrowed her eyes slightly and turned her head:

"Ling Quan, if you want to take the right path, you can't do that kind of thing. However, under the Nine Sects, it seems to be in order, but in fact it is still a lawless place where the weak and the strong prey on each other. The background is big enough, and it is the sect itself that will deal with the anger of people and gods. If no one If you find out, then your death is basically in vain.”

Zuo Lingquan came all the way and saw something. He nodded slightly and said no more.

The two people walked along the street and soon came to the Guichen Inn where the envoy stayed.

Zuo Lingquan raised his eyes and saw Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu standing on the street veranda on the second floor of the inn; Tang Jingxuan was also standing next to them.

When Jiang Yi saw him looking over, her face became stern, and she acted like the eldest princess was neither cold nor hot. The palace maid Leng Zhu was very excited. She stood behind her and winked, looking like a maid accompanying the bed: "Mr. Quanquan, you are finally here."

Tang Jingxuan's face was also full of joy, but he was afraid of being misunderstood by Jiang Yi, so he just raised his hand and waved without making a sound; on the contrary, Tuanzi kept chirping.

When Zuo Lingquan reunited after a long absence, he smiled and quickly entered...
