Sect Leader Is Under Great Pressure

Zhongzhou, Qiong'an Haicheng, Quangang

The flow of people is hurried and sweaty trackers are pulling several large ships into suitable berths in the harbour. Lifu is struggling to resist the heavy cargo from the sampan and carry them to the ox cart next to them. From time to time, large ships sail out of the port, and there are When the new ship drew ashore, several small officials led their men to collect the port charges at the berth, and from time to time they quarreled with the owner of the ship.

Ordinary people are as busy as usual, there is no numbness in their vigor, and they are always very vigorous.

In the midst of the sun, the toiling folks found a pergola to rest under the scorching sun, grabbed the water hyacinth, and discussed from time to time which of the lucky counterparts was found by the big shipowner to carry the goods. The goods on the ship are precious, so much. Good things like rewards for dozens of dollars, laugh out loud from time to time, saying that I hope I will encounter it someday.

While chatting was lively, suddenly a custodial husband heard a clear and distant ship bell ringing, and couldn't help being surprised: "The fairy ship?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone froze for a while.

After a few breaths, someone said embarrassingly: "Maybe I heard it wrong. Xianchuan only came once in more than a decade. It was only three years since the last time. It was not that fast."

But in the next second, another melodious ship bell rang, and was caught by the civilian husband who had already pricked his ears.

This time, no one said anything, but picked up sticks one after another and rushed to the port.

In the distant sea, a group of large ships showed gorgeous masts.

Soon, the ship's bell rang, and the huge ocean expedition ship slowly drew ashore.

On the big boat, she squeezed the purse Ji Mingyu gave herself. Bai Ruolan, who was driven in after failing to graduate in Kun-Lai, looked at the simple and quaint wharf and frowned slightly—the coastline of Haijing was nearly ten miles away, and the water was deep. Compared to the huge harbor with nearly a hundred large ships berthing at any time, nearly a hundred meters away, the shoreline of the port, which is less than a hundred meters long, is just like a rabbit next to an elephant, and it's not worth seeing.

And the people who picked up the goods on the ship were not the monks and wealthy merchants like Haijing, but a group of plainly clothed civilians, holding stick pockets, which looked like a poor family.

This made her look confused and couldn't help asking the new friend next to her: "Eldest brother, do you say that Qiong'an is the largest seaport in Zhongzhou?"

In the first half of the ship, the sea expedition ship they took finally reached Zhongzhou. Originally, the route of the sea expedition ship was to make a circle along the South China Sea islands, and then from Nanzhou up, around a large circle to Zhongzhou. This would take about three years. , But when their ship reached the border of the South China Sea on the way, the owner of the sea suddenly asked them to reroute their ships to the north, go straight to the middle continent, and then down to the south, from Nanzhou to the South China Sea islands.

In this way, the time to go to Central Continent was instantly shortened to just over two months. Of course, Bai Ruolan was extremely agreeable. She was bored on the boat. She also knew a monk who claimed to be from Central Continent, and she knew a lot of Central Continent anecdotes. The four major academies and the three major homes are very yearning, and he has long been expecting the "First Seaport in Central Continent" that he praised, but the gap is really big.

When the young monk next to her heard the words, he glanced at her weirdly, and asked, "That's right...Wait, don't you think all the seaports in the world are like Haijing City?"

Bai Ruolan stagnated, she definitely felt that it would not be like that, but she never thought it would be so much worse!

"Girl, don't think too much," the young monk said as he walked down the port, "Haijing, that is the fairy port made only by monks. What is this place? This is just a port built by mortals. Look at that. Hundreds of meters of sea plank road, hit a dozen sticks underwater, how easy it is to build."

Bai Ruolan was speechless, her heart was very nervous for a while, but she gritted her teeth and followed.

And on the top floor of the cabin behind her, two handsome young men with extraordinary temperaments were sitting at the table and saying goodbye to Zhancha.

Seeing Bai Ruolan leave the deck, Xie Fuzhou shook his head and sighed: "It's another rabbit entering the wolf's den."

Feng Qingxiu looked at the girl's back and frowned, "What's the answer to this?"

"There are many outside disciples in Kun-Lai who failed to be selected in the exams. They are unwilling to give up the road of cultivating immortality. They also dislike the small sect of Xizhou. Some disciples like to go to Zhongzhou by boat to find the main sect and then enter the fairy road. Xie Fuzhou lightly shook the tea cup in his hand, watching the green tea leaves floating in the water, and said with a chuckle, "It's just that they think too much. Today's Central Continent is not easy to mix with Shuangling roots, not to mention those mixed spirit roots. "

"People have their own ambitions, and cannot be forced to come." Feng Qingxiu didn't ask why he didn't stop it. Sometimes if the answer is to tell him the truth, he would not admit it.

"Brother, brother, I can only send you here," Xie Fuzhou put down his teacup and solemnly said, "Zhongzhou is no better than Xizhou and peace and tranquility. The three main gates here are competing against each other. Among them, 36 middle gates join together. Heng, as for those who go down too much, I won’t talk about it, but if you go to Central Continent, remember not to trust any monks, let alone reveal your identity of Xizhou Kun-Lai, otherwise you will inevitably have trouble with your upper body."

In fact, he had already said these words to Feng Qingxiu in the past few months on the boat, but when he left, he was still uneasy. He even thought of going up and walking with the younger brother, but this was just thinking about it. , If he goes to Central Continent, it is estimated that in a short time, hundreds of monks will come to the door. In their eyes, the lord of Haijing is not a peerless monk, but a hoof is full of oil. Big Sheep!

"Thank you, brother, I have already remembered. You said that there are many monks in Central Continent these years, and the treasures of heaven, material and earth have been scrapped for several times. Even ordinary spiritual things will be expensive. Therefore, you must be careful when entering and leaving Central Continent. Be cautious and don't divulge your identity." Of course, Feng Qingxiu will accept his brother's feelings, and he has already had a good spirit for going to Central Continent.

This level is not enough-but the sea lord also knows that some things still need to be experienced personally, so he sighed faintly: "Be careful on the road, I will sink a sea ship hundreds of miles away in the open sea, disguised as a coral reef, you have to When you return to Zhongzhou, just use the sound of the conch, and the ship will automatically come in front of you."

I didn't send any magic weapons to the younger brother. Anyway, the younger brother can carry the head with him. No magic weapon can match. Moreover, the respected master was also a monk who had lived in Central Continent for hundreds of years. It should be no problem to bring an apprentice.

Feng Qingxiu nodded: "Then thank you brother."

Since the South China Sea incident was temporarily ended, Senior Brother Yang Xinyin took Wu Zhan back to Haijing first, and the Lord of the Sea concealed their traces for them, and then changed the route and brought the fleet to Zhongzhou first. On this road, the loss of cargo was justified. It's amazing.

"Well, hurry up, I will stay here for a few more days as a cover." Xie Fuzhou said softly.

"Senior brother is also careful along the way, Junior brother first bid farewell." Feng Qingxiu got up and thanked, then turned around and got off the boat.

Xie Fuzhou watched him away from the bow of the boat, disappeared into the crowd, looked at the prosperous city, and sighed in a low voice, head, why do you need to go back to Zhongzhou?

In Qiong'an City, Feng Qingxiu looked at the flow of people coming and going, feeling as if she had returned to her home town when she had not yet entered Kun-Lai, and she felt a little emotional for a while.

What happened back then was as far away as in a dream. He shook his head and waved away the emotion at that moment. He looked at the way out of the city, and planned to find a smaller place to fly away. After all, there were so many people in this city. In Nakasu, one thing is not too much.

But before he walked far, there was already a short fat man in front of him. The man had an ordinary face, but slightly fat, with small eyes and big nose. He smiled very kindly: "This god, I think you are that Can those who get off the immortal boat take a step to speak?"

"Sorry, I have something important." Feng Qingxiu declined, this man has a bit of cultivation, but the training period is nothing for him today.

"Wait for the immortal, I just want to buy your embarkation order, you can't use it once, please do it a favor!" The man pleaded, "Not everyone can board the immortal boat, but there is a Shipping orders, we have to pick up and use the goods, it is much more convenient."

Feng Qingxiu raised his hand and threw him a jade clasp, which was given to him by the Sea Lord, and asked him to give it to others at the right time.

Ignoring his gratitude, he turned and left.

Soon, this jade was buckled into the hands of the senior officials of Qiong'an City.

"This ship order is lavender, it seems to be used exclusively by the Taiqing Sect." A master of various familiar ship orders whispered.

"This..." The man sitting at the seat of the city lord whispered immediately, "The order goes on, no need to stare at it, people of the Taiqing faction are not something we can eat."

"Yes, we are an affiliate of Ziyun Immortal Dao. Taiqing has long coveted us at Qiong'an Port. We can't give them any excuses for finding trouble!" someone next to him echoed.

"Yes, in recent years, due to the maritime levy of ships, our income in Qiong'an has become higher and higher, and we have controlled the trade of goods from nearly half of Xizhou. Taiqing Immortal Gate and Jietiandao have been dissatisfied for a long time. The well-dressed man said solemnly, "Relying on the trade of the sea country, we have gained a lot of income over the years, and we have gained a lot of benefits from administering the civilian husband. If we lose the harbor because of this, Ziyunxian Dao will be blamed, and we can't afford it. "

"That's the case," another principal said suddenly, "By the way, why did the sea squad enter the port three years in advance? Now that we are not ready for the exchange of goods, I am afraid we will suffer a loss!"

They were only a small city a hundred years ago, and it was only because the Haizheng ships had to stay for supplies, and then they slowly grew, accepting the civilians who couldn't survive around, and became the leading big city in the south, and even received the attention of the Ziyundao high-level officials.

"I have already inquired over there, saying that this time there is a sea monster in the South China Sea, so the Haizheng ship temporarily avoided its front and came to our Qiong'an first. This is a great opportunity. Although we are not ready, they must also I don't have much preparation, now I'm going to fight fast, and inform the new elders that they must try their best to retrieve the surrounding property and seize this opportunity!" The city lord resolutely said.

"But the elder Xiao Yuan who came this time seems to be very greedy. In the past few months, he has stretched out his hand several times to ask us for property... I'm afraid there will be a change." The person next to him whispered.

"Well, don't worry. We prepare the goods. He will definitely come to ask for it again. We must prepare the evidence. The elders who dragged down the water these years are not one or two!" The city lord's expression was cold with a hint of coldness. "I heard that this elder is also a casual cultivator. She hooked up a female fairy elder on Ziyun Dao to get the position of guest elder. After falling out of favor, she was exiled here. There is no backstage. It's very good!"

"That's right, that's right! It's best to let this elder go to trouble this Taiqing boy, let him know what is the sky and the earth, success or failure, we are one less trouble."

"It makes sense! I'm going to inform him!" The city groaned and touched the handrail, "Make a plan. If the elder comes back from injury, we will buy the bid secretly. In short, this important event should not be hindered by him. !"

Everyone nodded, buying bids was a code word, and buying murder meant that it was something they often did.

Every place in Central Continent has harsh rules, which are for new entrants to learn with their lives.
