Chapter 10 Gather the Crowd to Starfall

"This is... the luminous pearl produced by Donghai Mansion?"

Zhao Mi flicked his fingertips lightly, and as the pearl shook, the erratic spiritual light above twined and changed, and faintly reflected Zhao Mi's fingers.

Luo Xixian praised: "Good eyesight."

Zhao Mi was even more shocked: "Such a bag of luminous beads is actually the reward for killing monsters in the salt field? How can the government be so generous? If they don't have cash in their hands, they probably can deal with it with a stamped note!"

Although the gold cakes and silver cakes of the Tianxia Dynasty are still popular in the world, they are heavy and inconvenient to carry.And just like cloth and silk can also be used as a measure in the common people in the market, some of the more recognized, light and precious treasures of heaven and earth have become common wealth among monks.

Kunlun jade is more common in Kunlun Island, and this kind of luminous pearl is in the East China Sea.But in the final analysis, these things are not real coins, and they are also useful in the hands of various magician monks. If you can take out a bag of luminous beads as a reward, you are definitely not an ordinary person.

Luo Xixian explained in a low voice: "The salt field I went to is the Zhou family's property."

"Her family, Queen Zhou?" Zhao Mi asked, "However, all the income from the operation of the salt farm has to be handed over to the imperial treasury. How dare they resell private salt for profit?"

"I don't know if there is any private salt reselling, but that's not how the Hanguang Pearl came from." Luo Xixian said with a smile: "The salt farm is just a cover, and the real business of the Zhou family is to bypass the Chongxuan Pavilion and trade with one of the water mansions in the East China Sea. "

Now Zhao Mi's eyes were opened.The so-called water mansions are mostly the habitats of aquatic monsters.Different from the lairs of spirits and monsters in the mountains and forests on land, water mansions are often built by aquarium monsters in the shape of dragons, and they are opened with the help of their natural ability to control water.

Some dragons intercourse with mortals and give birth to descendants with dragon blood. Most of them will also live in the water mansion and form a family of water mansion over time.

And in the depths of the East Sea of ​​Kunlun Continent, there are more than one water mansions. Among them, the blood of the dragon clan and the aristocratic families of the water mansions occupy the sea area. It is like a war between nations, and the situation is comparable to that of Kunlun Continent today.

And because there are countless rare treasures in the sea, each water house has been operated for generations, and the wealth is incomparable to the country. Since ancient times, there has been trade with Kunlun Island, and there is even a market in the sea.As far as Zhao Mi knows, in Huaxu's country, the Chongxuan Pavilion controls the mutual market transactions with all the water houses in the East China Sea, and sends envoy fleets to the East China Sea from time to time.

Now the Zhou family, the descendant of the Huaxu Kingdom, bypassed the Chongxuan Pavilion and reached contact with a certain Donghai Mansion alone. Behind this may reflect the contest between the royal family and the aristocratic family.

No matter how stupid Zhao Mi was, he could see that there was going to be a storm in the court of Huaxu Kingdom. It was no wonder that Luo Xixian, the son of a public servant, was determined to make a career in Xingluo County and establish his own family.

The nobles have already started to move, betting their bets. It is estimated that there will be big movements in Xingluo County.

"You're tying me to a pirate ship." Zhao Mi looked at a bag of luminescent beads in his hand.

Luo Xixian stretched out his hand: "You don't want to forget it."

Zhao Mi hurriedly dodged: "Do you still expect to snatch the meat from my mouth?"

"Then do you want to help?" Luo Xixian went up to catch him, and said with a smile: "Don't be too greedy! A whole bag of luminescent beads will hurt me too!"

"Let's go, let's go! If you don't let go, I'll bite!"

"Master Zhao, can you show some face? Other monks and masters were captured and subdued, and they all counterattacked without clenching formulas or chanting mantras. How can anyone use their teeth like you?"

"I'm not an expert! If I go back to Xingluo County, something big will happen, I might as well pick up Hanguangzhu and run away!"

"The big thing is the big thing! I don't want to stay in the hall and live in poverty for the rest of my life. Don't you also look forward to going to the Chongxuan Hall?"

"I'm here to study the magic of the fairy family! Could it be the same thing as you?"

"Don't you understand yet? Chief doesn't want you to go to Chongxuan Hall! Even if the matter in Chengyang County is settled, he won't give you that letter of recommendation!"

The two big men were wrestling and playing, Zhao Mi suddenly fell silent when he heard this.

Luo Xixian patted him on the shoulder and said: "Who would like to send a student who has spent so much effort to send it to Chongxuan Pavilion? I don't know about others. At your level, you are proficient in spells, and you are good at attributing magic objects and utensils, and you can also make fragrant medicines." , You are already qualified for the position of Sanqing. You don't need to learn from me, and accumulate merit by going out to deal with evil spirits. As long as you stay in the Huaiying Pavilion, you may even be able to compete for the first place in the future fight!"

"But the teacher has been pressing me down, not letting me show my head." Zhao Mi squatted down helplessly, drawing circles on the snow.

"You are a fan of the authorities." Luo Xixian sighed: "The first one is afraid that you will go to the Chongxuan Pavilion and be eaten by those aristocratic children to the bone. Your father has made great achievements in the Mirage Valley, even if he sacrificed because of it, you As a son, he should be enshrined. The result? No fart! If I were you, I would have hated those bastards in the Chongxuan Pavilion long ago, but you are still excited to drill in, can the first one not be angry?"

Having experienced what happened in Chengyang County, now Zhao Mi also recalled that Zhang Duanjing had intentionally confined him to the Huaiying Hall before.Even if Zhao Mi went to Chengyang County to do business, Zhang Duanjing also kept paying attention to himself.

Zhao Mi's father died in battle, his mother remarried early, and he was displaced by his grandfather when he was young.After his grandfather passed away, he practiced Qi with Zhang Duanjing in the Huaiying Pavilion.Unlike other Guan students who come and go, Huaiying Guan is almost Zhao Mi's home, and Zhang Duanjing is the elder of this family.

It is not surprising that Luo Xixian has his own career pursuit.However, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Mi looked forward to leaving the Huaiying Pavilion and going to the Chongxuan Pavilion, which seemed a bit despicable and ugly.

"Come to Xingluo County and help me." Luo Xixian said: "There will be changes in the court in the future, and the group of incompetent insects relying on the shadow of their father and grandfather will be wiped out. Make it your own."

Zhao Shu remained silent, but communicated with Ling Xiao in his mind——

"In this way, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Chongxuan Pavilion in a short period of time. Can you afford to wait?"

Ling Xiao asked back: "Ordinary people, talk about the years and days in front of me?"

"I was stupid." Zhao Mi realized that Lingxiao had been hidden in the Zhenyuan lock for thousands of years, and a generation was not a long time for her.

Zhao Mi turned and said, "I'm just worried that the Zhenyuan lock will be tossed out of order or taken away by others during this period of time."

Lingxiao was not in a hurry: "The True Yuan Lock was originally the magic weapon I deduced to open up the cave, and later it worked in harmony with the operation of the cave. The restriction I imposed on it is difficult to break even if it takes a hundred years for the immortal family. Even in the Chongxuan Pavilion There are people who are close to immortals, but at best they only realize that the Zhenyuan lock is unique and mysterious."

"Ok."

Zhao Mi stood up and said to Luo Xixian, "You don't have to make any wishes for my various appointments, just clear up Xingluo County first."

"Of course!"

Zhao Mi and Luo Xixian came to the courtyard of the pavilion. The women were still chatting on the edge of the corridor. When they saw them coming, one of them, a petite and lovely woman in fox fur, said:

"Luo Xixian, what are you going to give this time?"

Xin Shunying, who was sitting next to the railing, shook her head lightly: "Sister Huanhuan, what you said is too rude. Mr. Luo has been promoted to Sanqing, and he is busy with business, how can he play around with you like in the past?"

Xin Shunying's eyes were picturesque, with a ponytail on her head, she was obviously mature and steady, holding a scroll in her hand, she lightly tapped Huanhuan's little girl on the head.

"What's the matter with you two?" Xin Shunying looked at Zhao Mi and Luo Xixian, her eyes lingering on Zhao Mi intentionally or unintentionally for a moment.

Luo Xixian explained with a smile: "Bandits have been rampant in Xingluo County recently, and they have colluded with local monsters. The imperial court ordered all the halls to send people to suppress the bandits and demons. At Zhao Mi's suggestion, I plan to invite Senior Sister Xin to accompany me."

"Oh?" Xin Shunying covered half of her face with a scroll, and looked at Zhao Mi with great interest: "Xiao Xuedi's demeanor is a little more detached and mysterious, so I'll tell you why there are fairy spirits and clear air flowing down the mountain recently." , it turns out that Junior Brother Zhao has entered the country again."

Zhao Mi was shocked by Xin Shunying's insight. Normally, he was not exhaling and refining qi at the moment, nor was he performing magic spells. The qi in his body should be naturally hidden, but Xin Shunying still saw through it at a glance.

"Sister Xin praised it absurdly. There is no such thing as a fairy spirit." Zhao Mi waved his hands and shook his head.

"Then you're saying that my eyesight is not good?" Xin Shunying smiled slyly, "Since that's the case, I don't have to go to Xingluo County to hold you back."

Zhao Mi was pushed by Luo Xixian, so he had no choice but to back off and said: "Where is it! Sister Xin has a sharp eye, how can I hide my ability from you?"

Xin Shunying stopped playing tricks, and asked seriously: "The situation in Xingluo County has reached the point where we need to mobilize a large army to suppress it?"

Zhao Mi explained: "From what I have learned from the first seat, the local monsters may have contacts with the Xuanming Kingdom. Although Panlong Mountain is a dangerous obstacle for birds to cross, it is related to the stability of the frontier. This kind of internal and external collusion must be strictly enforced." Cut off. Indulging for a long time, the country will not be the country."

What Zhao Mi said didn't even feel like he was talking about suppressing bandits and monsters and stabilizing the frontier.Considering that although Xin Shunying's family is not a rich and powerful family, but they have constant contacts with the nobles of the court, they should be aware of the current situation.

"This kind of thing should be directly informed by Zhang Shouzuo to everyone in the hall, and ordered to arrange dispatch." Xin Shunying rolled her eyes, saw Luo Xixian, and immediately understood: "Oh, it seems that Zhang Shouzuo made this matter Entrusted to Mr. Luo?"

Luo Xixian smiled and said nothing, which was a tacit consent.Xin Shunying nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I shouldn't insist on avoiding it. It's just that I'm not as good at fighting skills as you are. If you put me in a dangerous place like Xingluo County, I'm afraid I will be caught by someone before you see the results." The incoming arrows killed him."

What Xin Shunying said was right and wrong, and wrong.Not all monks who practice spells are good at fighting.In various halls of Huaxu Country, there is no lack of Bai Fafa who has a poor head and a poor record, and he has buried his head in the pile of old papers all his life.If they were expected to fight on the battlefield, they would be knocked down with a mallet by an illiterate reckless man before finishing the spell.

What's more, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and skillful techniques don't mean they are proficient in killing. A martial artist like Wang Miaoshou, who doesn't know how to raise sword energy, can still stab Mr. Zhu right through.

But Zhao Mi didn't believe that Xin Shunying was really as weak as she said, and the real clever Zhanhou masters were so powerful that others didn't know how powerful they were.Because he is good at divination and foresight, he can often make arrangements before the enemy predicts.What's more, Master Zhanhou, who will be caught in a face-to-face fight, is not clever enough in itself.

With a thought in Zhao Mi's mind, he felt that he had fallen into the temptation of Xin Shunying, so he heard the other party say: "I can go to Xingluo County with you, but right now I am refining a treasure of protection, so it is inconvenient to leave for a long journey. .If Zhao Xuedi can help, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort."

"So I'm waiting." Zhao Mi muttered in his heart, and he could only agree: "Then I don't know what Senior Sister Xin is refining?"

"Brother Zhao, if you are free right now, come with me."

After Xin Shunying finished speaking, Zhao Mi and Luo Xixian looked at each other, and the other said, "Go, I'll go find someone else first."

……

The Huaiying Pavilion occupies a large area, but the buildings in it are not magnificent. They are all practical and clean, with tall and thick walls to isolate noise.And looking down from a high altitude, it implies a formation pattern, which is convenient for different courtyards to adopt the brilliance of the camera and take what they need.

Among them, Baiqiyuan, where magic weapons are refined, is located in the northeast. Before entering, you can see five tall copper pillars standing inside. The surface of the copper pillars is engraved with talisman seals, which capture the subtle energy between heaven and earth, so that they can be used at any time.

The formation of these copper pillars is similar in effect to the Qingxuan pen in Zhao Shu's hand, but the scale and structure are quite different.If you want to drive the formation to run, so that the Qi machine can be concentrated on the dharma utensils, you need many monks to work together.

Zhao Mi followed Xin Shunying to a dharma altar in Baiqiyuan, on which an armillary sphere was placed.

The whole body of the armillary sphere is made of silver-white material, and it is only about the size of holding hands with ten fingers together. The workmanship is very exquisite.It seems to be standing still, but in Yingxuan's perspective, this thing is actually slowly absorbing the energy of Zhou Tianxing.

"This is the Chonghui Armillary Sphere I want to refine." Xin Shunying introduced: "This device can help me drive the star energy to cloth my body, and also use the power of the stars to determine the position of someone or something."

"Oh? That's really an extraordinary magic weapon." Zhao Mi could see clearly that Xin Shunying didn't take his words seriously.It's just that he discovered that the Chonghui armillary sphere seemed to be able to serve as a hub for arranging a restraining formation.

"There is no problem with the method of sacrificial refining. Does senior sister Xin want me to speed up the process?" Zhao Mi soon discovered the key point. The movement of the armillary sphere follows the movement speed of the sun, moon and stars, so it must be slow to absorb the celestial energy.

Xin Shunying nodded and said, "Of course, I just don't know if Zhao Xuedi has a magic method?"

If it were the past, Zhao Mi probably still had some difficulties.However, he received the sun-moon shape refining method taught by Ling Xiao, and practiced it day and night for half a year, and he also had a somewhat unique understanding of the relationship between the movement of the sun, moon and stars and the movement of the body's true energy.

"I can try." Zhao Mi suddenly had other thoughts: "I'm just afraid that my lack of understanding will damage Senior Xin's magic weapon..."

Xin Shunying covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Could it be that Junior Brother Zhao wants to learn how to make the armillary sphere?"

Zhao Mi beat the snake and put it on the stick, bowed and bowed directly: "If I can get some advice from Senior Sister Xin, I will definitely benefit from it for the rest of my life!"
