I am the Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 126 The Great Merchant Shou, the Local Boss

Xiaoxiang Palace.

Wei Shuang was tied to the stone platform, surrounded by pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers.

Whoa!
Suddenly, dark green torches illuminated the palace.

Da da da……

With the sound of footsteps, Wu Ji walked slowly, holding a black vase the size of a human head.

Coming to Wei Shuang, a centipede crawled out from the black altar, Wu Ji pried his mouth open, and the centipede entered the mouth.

After a long time, Wei Shuang suddenly opened his eyes, a terrifying black light flashed in them, and then returned to normal.

After that, the King of Jing returned, which happened to stabilize the situation.

In the north, Chongguo is a little further north.

Chongguo is a big country in the west. It is responsible for monitoring the countries in the west and southwest.

In the south of Chongguo, there is a small green city. The whole body of the city is made of wood, with moss growing on its body. Tree people with flowers live here. There are seas of flowers everywhere in the city, and there are also flower fairies in the form of flowers. The flowers are clothes, and the colors are makeup. Exotic.

In the back garden, there is gurgling water.

A young man wearing a golden crown, a velvet white robe, and bare feet is soaking in a hot spring, surrounded by seven maids.

This man is two meters tall, with very beautiful muscles, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and his facial contour is like a chisel.

A woman knelt by the hot spring and whispered something in his ear.

The man's name is Zishou, the youngest son of King Shang, the most talented royal family for thousands of years, it is said that he can communicate with God, and guide the ancient gods and men to assist him, that is, the emperor.

Coming to Chongguo today is also to represent my father to inspect the territories of the princes, to explore the situation of the princes, and to prepare for my future ascension to the throne.

Zishou has great ambitions and will not be satisfied with the small territory of Heluo.

Since ancient times, the three regions of Heluo, Jianghan, and Haidai have been incompatible with each other. Zishou's dream is to unify them all, not necessarily merged into the country, as long as they admire the culture of Shang and believe in the gods of Shang, Follow the company's rules.

In this way, there will be no more disputes in the world.

"Chu State... After Zhuanxu Gaoyang, he believed in Zhurong Xuanniao, and was close to the lord of witches and ghosts..." After hearing the maid's story, Zishou was quite interested.

The speed of this country's rise is not fast, and it is also an old country of 700 years, but every step is made steadily, and the foundation is very solid.

Generally, if you don't do it, you will get great benefits once you do it.

From the perspective of sacrificial culture and customs, it has nothing to do with Dashang.

"It's dangerous, this country is dangerous."

This was the first impression in Zishou's mind.

If he is the king, he must be strangled by the coalition of priests of all parties as soon as possible.

But now it is no longer possible. In terms of the degree of threat, Dongyi is much bigger than Chu State. Compared with Dongyi, Chu State is insignificant.

"Go and report to Uncle Chong, I want to see the King of Chu."

Zishou's first thought was to recruit security. If Chu State was to surrender, that would be the best.If you don't want to surrender, you can only launch a crusade.

……

Mo Jiang.

The river is calm and the sun is warm.

"Woooo!"

The boatman sang a song, and the waterfowl flew around him, sometimes rushing into the water and pulling out a fat fish.

Under the water, there is a pale palace.

The palace is not too big, it is in the style of a three-story stilted building, and its skeleton, wall panels, and pillars are made of a pale bone, which is the keel.

The palace made of keel is the keel cave.

There is no water flow in the cave, and it is isolated by a mysterious force. It is like an upside-down jade bowl under the water.

There are two women sitting on the stone seat outside the cave, one is more mature, with a plump figure and a phoenix pattern between her eyebrows.The other woman was younger and thinner.

There was a crackling sound of flames burning in the hall.

The door of the cave was not opened, and through the door, a man could still be seen making alchemy with a jade tripod.

I don't know how long it took to practice, but there was bird-like smoke coming out of the cauldron.

boom!
The lid was opened, and three Purple Mysterious Pills flew out. Tang Ping put them into it with a jade bottle.

The two sisters were very surprised when they saw it, Xiaoming said: "The alchemy attainment is so high, could it be that he inherited the Huozheng secret method from his father?"

The most basic feature of the alchemists used by the Emperor of Heaven is to refine elixirs without side effects, which represents the purity and exquisiteness of craftsmanship.Alchemists with side effects are not qualified to join the Huozheng Organization at all.

Otherwise, eating a strangely shaped Emperor of Heaven would not be awe-inspiring.

Tang Ping put away the utensils and walked out slowly.

Zixuan Dan can still use up this realm.

When you reach the next level, you need a new pill.

"When can we go out?" Candlelight couldn't help asking.

During this period of time, they have been locked in the cave and refused to let them out.

Tang Ping glared at her, and said, "I'll lock you up for sixty years first. How many people have you instigated Wei Shuang to harm over the years, do you feel guilty?"

Xiaoming stood up, turned sideways, and faced Tang Ping, a little puzzled, "Are you making things difficult on purpose, or are you doing it on purpose? For mere mortals, you want to imprison us for a year?"

This is a very incredible thing.

Tang Ping was also a little speechless. He didn't know what to say about them. This kind of person's blood was indeed strong, and he was born with supernatural powers. He was different from someone who practiced the day after tomorrow. He could use the fact that you were not a mortal before to refute it.

It's really hard to convince a little fairy like this.

"Everything has a spirit, and no one is qualified to take their lives, including you. You think you are powerful and can take the lives of others at will; so can I deal with you at will in the same way?"

"It's a kind of one-on-one! What kind of skill is playing these sorcerers!" Candlelight was not convinced.

Tang Ping glanced at this guy indifferently: "I'm not interested, and the detention time will add another ten years."

"you!"

"20 years!"

"There is a kind of..."

"40 years!"

Zhuguang wanted to say something again, but Xiaoming stopped his sister directly, told her to shut up first, and then said to Tang Ping, "I hope you don't regret it."

"Don't worry, even if Shun cheats on the corpse, you will obediently serve a hundred years in prison. Also, I am a man of my word. After I leave the customs, I will plan to get candles for you."

After all, Tang Ping saw that the two women were about to quarrel with him again, so he went back to the cave, closed the gate, and no matter how loud the candlelight was, he didn't respond.

After returning to the cave, he opened the warning policy and carefully read the information on it.

Most of the exercises of the dark contract have not been used, perhaps because the accumulation is not enough to open a new dark contract.

Or the realm of the underground master is not too high, so he can't comprehend higher unique skills.All in all, Tang Ping felt that apart from the new Ming Qi, it should take a long time to awaken the new exercises.

It is also very easy to learn new exercises. You can find them from Jianxia Ghost Market and spend money to buy Haidai’s secret techniques. I have been busy before, so I didn’t have the opportunity to learn new things.There is another way that is more convenient, and that is to ask the two sisters for it.

But Tang Ping thought about it and forgot it. He didn't dare to ask for it. If the two people were vicious and deliberately gave him the wrong exercises, it didn't matter if they couldn't practice them.What I am most afraid of is that the key places will be faked for you. This kind of thing is kind of finished.

"First inspect you for 100 years." Tang Ping thought to himself.

If it can't be transformed, it can only be a killer.

100 years is enough time for the water snakes in the Xiangshui cave to breathe more water holes, and even control the entire Xiangshui.

As for the Bright Candle Shrine, Tang Ping always felt that he was going to make it through.

Tang Ping returned to Bright Candle Divine Palace. There were a lot more people here, and it seemed that some experts from the tribe had been recruited.

Nan Luhua commanded the deacons.

"The rents of the merchants and stalls in the ghost market must be collected in full. After collecting them, don't disturb them again, so as not to cause trouble. Of course, the most important thing is not to miss the rent collection. If anyone comes to make trouble, stop it immediately, and report it if you can't do it. .”

"Yes!"

Nanluhua managed the ghost market in an orderly manner. As the most valued descendant of King Nanlu, and also the descendant who was about to break through to gas refining, he also participated in the management early on.

Seeing Tang Ping approaching, Nan Luhua smiled and said, "Senior, have you gone to help Chu State?"

"No, I don't have this ability. It's just a closed-door alchemy." Tang Ping handed the person the bottle containing the side effect Zixuan Dan.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Tang Ping returned to Qunyu Mountain.

Tang Ping's current attitude towards the two men is not to provoke them. One is dying, and he wants to make a quick breakthrough before he dies. It is estimated that this mentality is not good.

From Wei Shuang's incident, it can be seen that this person's heart is vicious and vicious, and whoever provokes him will suffer.

It's better to go back and concentrate on practicing, and to comprehend the unique knowledge as soon as possible is the real thing.

half year later.

Xiangshui Cave Mansion.

The water snake at the top of the cave suddenly burst into white light.

Tang Ping's notice flew out automatically, with an extra line of information on it.

[Xiangshui Deed·Du Ni Curse] Turning water into dragon method (1/800)
There is another spell, which can transform the essence of water into various types of dragons. It is a bit like the spell that the two sisters used last time. It is equivalent to a spell to summon temporary Taoist soldiers. It is also useful.

Moreover, as a spell born in the dark contract, it can increase the lifespan after the cultivation is complete, usually 50 years.

Whether it is useful or not, just practice it.

Qun Yushan became quiet again.

The state of Chu at the foot of the mountain has also entered a new round of renovation.

Hundreds of years of development have already brought the population of Chu to over 6000 million.

This time, he suddenly acquired such a large territory, so he had to digest it carefully.

At the same time, the envoy of Dashang came to Danyang on a black bird.

The envoy was dressed in black, with a strange ancient high crown on his head, his face was green and his eyes were shining.

The moment it landed, Xuanniao turned into a swallow jade pendant and hung it on the messenger's waist.

The guard at Danyang's gate saw that this was the totem of the Great Merchant, so he hurriedly stopped his subordinates who drew their knives to defend him, and asked, "Excuse me, who is your Excellency?"

"The envoy of King Shang's son came to Danyang to ask to see the leader of Chu."

The envoy only mentioned the leader and not the king's name, which made the guard furious, but when he thought that the other party was the envoy, he was relieved, and the matter of the name was left to the king and the others.

"Hold on!"

The guard asked people to go in and report. After a while, soldiers came on fast horses.

"The palace invites you."

Led by the palace attendants, the envoys entered Danyang City.

The prosperity of this big city with a population of one million is beyond his imagination, and crowds of people can be seen everywhere, sweating profusely.

Not only are there many people, but the clothes are also relatively neat. It should be the habit of cleaning themselves frequently.

The envoy came from Chaoge, and naturally he would not be shocked by these prosperity for a long time. What really shocked him was that this place didn't look like a barbarian.

If it is really a country with a unique civilization like Haidai and Western Zhou, then he can turn around and go back now.

There is no need to make peace, just let the king send troops to kill.

"No, there are still barbarians." The envoy asked the attendant at the side, "Where are your slaves?"

"We don't have slaves anymore. We are all Chinese and have our own fields."

"Then you were...?"

"Before we were wildlings, before we were slaves..."

Hearing the attendant's words, the messenger subconsciously moved away.

Barbaric, indeed barbaric.

There are texts on the shops on both sides of the road. After the envoy asked, he knew that this place is very easy to obtain knowledge.

In addition to nobles and wizards, other ordinary people can also learn at their own expense through apprenticeship.

"It's barbaric, it's too barbaric, and knowledge can be revealed casually."

The envoy immediately had a bad impression of this country, which was vulgar and uneducated.

Soon, they came to the palace.

The envoy's complexion suddenly became ugly, and he said, "This is your etiquette? What about the tripod? What about human sacrifice?"

It stands to reason that when the angels of the dynasty come, they are not allowed to hold a grand ceremony, kill a few people at random, and offer the best parts for their own enjoyment?

At this time, Yuan Chi came out from the side, with a flattering smile on his face, and said: "I'm really sorry, the small country has few people, and I don't understand the etiquette of the state, so I can only entertain with good wine and food."

"you are?"

"Shangqing Yuan Chi of the Chu Kingdom!"

Under Yuan Chi's penetrating tongue, the envoy's face softened a little, and he followed the attendants into the hall.

Sitting at the main seat is King Xiong Ba of Chu, and there is an old man beside Xiong Ba.

This is Xiong Ban, the son of Xiong Ba, who is also the current eldest son.

Xiong Ba lived too long, even if he chose his youngest son as his heir, even the youngest son would become an old man.

When Xiong Yong's son died, he was replaced by his youngest son, Xiong Ban. Xiong Ban has been working until now, stabilizing the rear when he is playing.

His character is not as staunch as his elder brother Xiong Yong, and he is relatively honest.

"Meet the leader!"

"Please sit down!"

Needless to say in the following conversation, after the politeness came the bargaining, and the envoy brought the idea of ​​conferring a baron, the king of Chu thought that the baron was small and the lowest earl.

After the last nonsense, both sides took a step back, canonized the country of the Viscount, and incorporated it into the Dayi merchant system, so that they will not be attacked by other countries at will, and they can attack the barbarians at will.

Of course, more importantly, they will sign the contract. As long as Chu State keeps its own place, they will not conquer Chu State in the next southern expedition, but will only teach those countries that have colluded with Yuren.

"The canonization ceremony is in the Yin City of Chongguo, where the son is waiting, and it will not take effect until the son of Chu has gone."

After the envoy left, Xiong Ba was very excited.

His own ability has finally improved to a higher level and gained the attention of the mainstream.

Of course, he didn't rely on them, but wanted to gain more benefits.

"Yuan Chi, if I want to be the Boss of the South, what is the chance? No, I can be a priest."

"It's a big deal. The south is a place that is beyond the reach of Dayi merchants. It is more cost-effective to exchange a nihilistic name for loyalty in the name of a middle-level power. But the boss is a bit difficult, and the pastor can fight for it."

"Okay, the king will set off in person tomorrow!"
