Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Xuanzhen continued: "This is just to prevent trouble before it happens. I wonder what you fellow Taoists think?"

"It's such a small matter! When I get back, I'll recruit people from the sect in this county."

"To overthrow Xuanmen and capture Qingzhou is not a family affair, so you should serve yourself."

"Since the war with Xuanmen, although we have won consecutive battles, we have killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses. The losses of each department are not small. It is time to replenish our troops."

"Now Mubei is all under our control, and recruiting 50,000 monks is nothing more than a slap in the face!"

Several people spoke one after another, and those who spoke were all from the main war faction in the coalition forces, while those aristocratic families and major local forces remained silent.

Xuanzhen looked at them: "Fellow Daoist Hu, Fellow Daoist Kong, what do you think? If you have any difficulties, just raise them."

"It's good to prepare for a rainy day. I have no objection." said the old man with all white hair and beard.

"I also agree. After we return, we will recruit 50,000 monks to join the alliance army." Another man with gray hair on his temples followed.

Several other people who were silent also expressed their opinions.

Xuanzhen said: "In that case, the matter has been settled. All parties have raised 50,000 troops to form a reserve army in Annan County, which will be temporarily responsible for logistics supplies and other related matters. As for the specific candidates for the army commander and other positions, we will discuss it later. ”

Everyone nodded slightly.

Kong Lin said: "In addition to what the two Taoists Yun Kong and Xuanzhen said, there is one more thing that needs to be discussed with everyone. Previously, we have made preliminary plans to divide the Qingzhou territory, but there are still many aspects that have not been reached. Unite."

"Now is the time to resolve this matter. Looking at the situation, I think it won't be long before we can invade the interior of Qingzhou. If we don't negotiate this matter, all fellow Taoists will not feel at ease."

Xuanzhen turned his hand and took out a huge topographic map, hanging it in mid-air.

The entire album is about ten feet in size, and the counties, counties, cities, and even mountains and rivers are clearly visible on it.

"According to previous discussions, after we capture Qingzhou, Donglai County will belong to three families: Luo Daoyou, Xun Daoyou, and Wang Daoyou."

"Pingyuan County is handed over to three families: Xu Daoyou, Zhou Daoyou, and Cheng Daoyou."

"Beihai County was handed over to three families: Zhang Daoyou, Cao Daoyou, and Su Daoyou."

"Jinan County was handed over to three families: Peng Daoyou, Yan Daoyou, and Han Daoyou."

"And we will take a quarter of each family's profits and taxes, including the Xuanmen territory we captured in Mubei."

"We have reached an agreement on these before. Only Linzi and Anle County have not yet reached an agreement."

"After discussion among the three of us, we decided to put Linzi County and Anle County out for joint management."

"As for the method of differentiation! It's also very simple. The more casualties the faction has, and the higher the merits of the faction, the larger the territory it will gain."

"I have drawn up a specific plan, please take a look at it."

After Xuanzhen finished speaking, he glanced at the two men standing below. The two of them took out a stack of files and distributed them to everyone present one by one.

Everyone was flipping through the files, and the hall was silent for a while, except for the sound of pages being flipped through.

After a while, Xuanzhen said, "Fellow Taoists, do you have any questions?"

The old man with white hair and beard below said: "Of course there is nothing wrong with attacking the chassis according to casualties and merits, but is this plan too perfect?"

"Do you have any suggestions from fellow Daoist Peng?"

The old man said: "The plan proposed by the three fellow Taoists is an ideal plan, but the reality is that we are still in Qinghai and have not yet stepped into the inland of Qingzhou."

"I'm not pouring cold water here, and I don't doubt that the alliance army can march straight in, but if we say that we can eat the entire Qingzhou in one go, I think it is still too optimistic."

"Madam, if you have no long-term worries, you must have immediate worries. In order to avoid arguments and even damage the unity of the alliance, some things should be explained clearly here."

"Although there was a preliminary plan at that time to hand over Donglai County to Daoyou Luo, Daoyou Xun and Daoyou Wang, but if I remember correctly, I said that the specific situation will be discussed at that time."

"Then it is necessary to make it clear now. If we only capture Donglai County, or only a few of them, and have a stalemate with Xuanmen, the distribution of these territories and the annual income within its jurisdiction will How should it be calculated?”

"If the previous decision is still followed and Donglai County is only handed over to the three families of Luo Daoyou, Xun Daoyou and Wang Daoyou, I believe many people here will not be satisfied."

Kong Lin said: "Of course we have considered what Daoyou Peng said. Before we capture the entire Qingzhou, all the resources and profits we occupy will belong to the entire alliance and be used for the expenses of the army."

"That is to say, we must capture the entire Qingzhou to truly gain benefits, and before that, we can't get anything. Is this what Fellow Daoist Kong Lin meant?" A man with two gray hairs on his temples said.

Xuanzhen said: "That's absolutely not the intention. Every time we conquer a place, part of the proceeds will be used to pay for the expenses of the army, and the rest will naturally be distributed to everyone here."

"What kind of distribution plan is it based on? Do the three fellow Taoists have a plan?"

"The specific distribution plan will be based on the dossier just issued to you. Each faction will be divided according to merit and casualties. We will use half of the proceeds to pay for the army's expenses, and distribute the other half to you."

"I wonder if the other half includes your demon clan?"

"Of course, before Qingzhou is completely captured, we all have to take our fair share of the profits. I think this shouldn't be too much! Everyone has contributed, everyone has casualties, and we all need resources to supplement. We Of course it’s no exception.”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid all of us here together may not get more than you! You have a huge army of monsters, and the commanders of each legion are yours. In terms of casualties and merits, no one can Not as good as you."

"But our casualties are indeed the heaviest. Fellow Daoist Su didn't mean to exclude us!"

"I didn't mean it, but I think this distribution plan is inappropriate."

"I don't think it's suitable either."

"This matter is subject to discussion."

Everyone below said one after another that because of the uneven distribution of benefits, the palace fell into a war of words.

………

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the room, refining her Qi and practicing.

There was a knock on the door outside. He opened his eyes and waved his spiritual power. The wooden door opened without any wind. There were several men standing outside. They were several wounded members of the Seventh Alliance's direct team. The leader was Noda Kei. Of.

He flashed and came to a few people: "Fellow Taoists are here to visit the shelter. If you are not welcome from afar, please come in quickly."

Tian Qingzhi waved his hand and said: "Fellow Taoist Tang, let's not be so polite! I came here this time to invite you to have fun with me. We fellow sufferers have escaped from death and finally settled down. It's time to enjoy ourselves."

"It just so happened that Fellow Daoist Wang came to see me, so I wanted to invite the brothers from our team to play with us."

Wang Wei beside him said with a smile: "Mainly because of the place that Daoist Fellow Tian mentioned last time, I found it quite interesting and got interested. In the past few years on the Qinghai front line, I have faced all kinds of big and thick men all day long. I haven't had such a problem in many years. After having fun, I finally returned to the interior. I had to find some fun to be happy, and practicing all day long was boring. "

Tian Qingzhi said: "What do you think, Taoist friend Tang?"

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I just don't know how far it is? Can we make it back within half a month? We still have to go back here to change the wound medicine!"

Yuan Ye said: "Why worry about these little things? Just say hello to fellow Taoist Duan in advance and change the dressing! You can do it at any time, there is no need to rush."

"Okay then! But I have to declare in advance that this time I am just accompanying you fellow Taoists to have a banquet and gain some knowledge. It's okay if I'm just looking for flowers and flowers." Tang Ning nodded.

The reason why he agreed to go was that he was indeed curious about the place Tian Qingzhi mentioned and wanted to see it. I don’t know where it is, but even the Nascent Soul female cultivator can provide escorts. There must be a huge force behind this.

The two are not good at rejecting the kindness of everyone. He is wandering alone and has no idea where he will go in the future. There is no harm in making more friends.

Tian Qingzhi joked: "Did you hurt your lifeblood? If so, don't go. Stay here to recuperate. You can't be careless about this."

Tang Ning smiled slightly and didn't care: "First of all, I'm married, and secondly, I'm short of money, so just treat me as a guest, and you fellow Taoists can enjoy themselves."

Wang Wei waved his hand and said very boldly: "Hey! What a big deal. A real man has three wives and four concubines, let alone just going out to have fun."

Tangning remained silent.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, this is what you are wrong about. Everyone has their own interests, so why force it. Let's go! Let's go invite Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Zhang and ask them if they are willing to go together." Tian Qingzhi said, and everyone disappeared. From then on, he went to the rooms of Li Yu and Zhang Huan one after another. When they heard about their visit, they both went there happily.

A group of nine people came to the temple on the top of the mountain, found Duan Xian, and explained their purpose of coming to him. Then they registered with the escort, then walked straight out of the light curtain and headed southwest.

After walking for more than two days, everyone came to a city outskirts.

This place is called "Qianyunli", and the city is exactly the "Qianyunli City".

The entire "Yuanxian City" covers an area of ​​600,000 miles, and is divided into twenty "miles", each of which is approximately 30,000 miles in size.

The "Lishi" is the center of the entire "Li", surrounded by the city walls. The inner space is where monks trade. If the chamber of commerce wants to open shops in the city, it can only choose to open a shop in the "Lishi".

To put it bluntly, this is a large "market". Since chambers of commerce are not allowed to open "markets" in the city, monks always need a place to trade, so the "market" takes the place of the "market".

Generally, "inner cities" are managed by local Xuanmen.

Everyone stopped in front of the city wall and filed in.

Tang Ning looked up and saw that the entire city was made of bluestone, about a thousand miles long and a hundred feet high. Based on this, it can be deduced that the entire "city" is about four thousand miles in diameter.

On the city walls, huge cannons and many armor-piercing monks were displayed.

Inside, there are rows of attics and palaces, and there are many people coming and going, making it very lively.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​could the secret you mentioned be located in this "inner city"?" Wang Wei asked.

Xue Feng arrived: "Probably not! Although there are pavilions for pleasure and entertainment in the city, I have never heard of a place that can force Nascent Soul female cultivators. After all, it is a place controlled by Xuanmen. These things are generally not placed there. On the surface, besides, Senior Brother Tian has said before that it is a secret place. If it is in the inner city, it is not a secret place. "

Wang Wei said: "So, Daoist Fellow Xue doesn't know the specific place that Fellow Daoist Tian mentioned? Aren't you from the same sect?"

Xue Feng said: "What's strange about this? Although the Canglang Sect is not a big sect, the territory under its jurisdiction is no less than tens of thousands of miles wide. The territory is extremely vast, and individual circumstances vary."

"Furthermore, I am a disciple of the Discipline Department. I usually only practice in the sect and rarely go out. Senior Brother Tian is from the Economics and Trade Department. I have a lot of dealings with outside chambers of commerce, aristocratic families, and sects. In terms of breadth of knowledge, I am naturally far behind Senior Brother Tian."

Tian Qingzhi smiled and said, "Young Taoist Wang, why should you be impatient? I'm sure you will be satisfied when you get to the place."

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​since the place you mentioned is not in this city, why did you bring us here? Do you have other things to do?" Tang Ning asked.

Tian Qingzhi turned around and looked at him with a slightly surprised look: "This Yuanxian County is not big. Although the entire Tianyuan is not big, it has tens of millions of miles in radius. With our cultivation, if we fly from east to west or from south to north, there will be no problem." It may be difficult to reach it even if it takes hundreds of years. Is it possible that fellow Taoist Tang wants to travel by his own strength?"

After hearing what he said, Tangning immediately understood why she came to the inner city first, just to take a merchant ship or teleportation array to her destination.

For a moment, he felt a little embarrassed, as if a country bumpkin suddenly entered the city. He was incompatible with everything here and seemed at a loss.

The main reason is that he has stayed in Xingang for many years and travels by escape. There are not many merchant ships and teleportation arrays to choose from, so he has formed a habit, and his thinking has not changed or changed until now.

Although he has been away from Xingang for more than 20 years, he has spent most of his time on the islands where Qinghai is stationed. Even in the inland city walls, he has only occasionally wandered around the city and never left the city, unless he was traveling with a team.

After walking for a short time, everyone came to a majestic and majestic attic. On it were carved several large characters with shining light, which was Canglang Wutong Pavilion.

There is no doubt that this is a shop opened by Canglang Sect, and a group of people filed into the inner room.

The interior is very spacious, with carved beams and paintings on the beams, crystal palace lanterns hanging high, stone walls surrounded by gold, and a faint fragrance in the hall.

A graceful and graceful woman came forward and said, "Senior, what are your orders?"

Tian Qingzhi turned his hand, took out a token, handed it to her and said, "We are going to Fengyun Pavilion."

The woman took the token, confirmed her identity as a Canglang Sect disciple, handed it back to him with both hands, and said, "I wonder how Senior Tian needs to go there?"

"When will the nearest merchant ship arrive?"

"Please wait a moment." The woman turned her hand, took out a black booklet, and flipped through it: "The nearest merchant ship will arrive at about 1:00 today. It is a ship specially traveling between Tianyun City and Yuanxian City. The "Qing Ling" Fengling Ship can set off at 12:00 tomorrow morning. Do you want to go, Senior Tian?"

Tian Qingzhi asked: "Is there no Tianling Ship?"

"The fastest Tianling Ship will take three days to arrive here."

"Well, let's take the "Qingling"!"

"Seniors, are you going too?"

"Yes, they will go with me."

"Okay, please come with me." The woman said, leading the group to a room on the second floor of the attic and knocking on the stone door.

"Come in." A deep voice came from inside.

The woman pushed the door open and walked in. There was a beautiful woman sitting inside, wearing Canglang Sect clothes.
