(755 Look down on the wind and get ten thousand points of dust, sit on a gambling table in the water)
A lot of things happened next, most of them as expected by Gou, but there were some surprises.
After Mu Tou subdued Lian Ling's Demon Transformation Pill, he followed Mu Luo back to Li Mountain, and Li Shan quickly announced the fact of the new emperor's bloodline to the people of the Shu Clan in the world. The divided Tree Clan finally returned to their hearts, opening the era of the fifth generation of Tree Emperors.
When Mu Luo brought the new emperor and the elders of the Mu Luo tribe to the Sleeping Evil Mountain, most of the people of the Mu Ye tribe, including Huai Wuxin and Tong Feng, the two Jindan elders, had already returned to the Shuhuang, and a Jindan elder who was originally a royalist and was pushed out, Kumu Chun, also returned.
But Kumuchun's brother, Kumu, doesn't know where to go. He was originally trapped in the Nameless Rift by Gou Zhu and Huang Lu with the Eight Desolation Lock Dragon Array. Wood and Gou Zhu went there to look for it later, but there was nothing there.
When Mu Luo and the others surrounded the Tree Emperor and entered the Demon Emperor Palace, they found that the Demon Emperor Hall had been empty, and the whereabouts of the Great Elder Rong Qianzi and the Elder Yu Yu were unknown. The Demon Emperor Hall has also become extremely clean, with almost nothing left.
Originally, only the Tree Emperor and the Great Elder were eligible to enter the Demon Emperor Hall. Therefore, even if the four walls became empty, they would not be able to know what was missing in this Demon Emperor Palace. But regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, the wood still ascended the throne in all directions.
Among the three major clans and the three strong clans in the demon world, except for the ambiguous attitude of the ghost owl, the other demon clans have surrendered, and the demon world has since entered a rare period of tranquility.
It's just that Mu Tou doesn't like the demon world, and he is willing to continue to live in the Danyang Pavilion of Jade Peak and be with his brothers. It doesn't matter if Muluo does. Anyway, Mu is a demon emperor no matter where she is, and she is a demon queen no matter where she is. The messy affairs of the Kino and Murabu naturally have those elders to deal with. She and Mu stayed on the Jade Peak to cultivate, and she was happy to be pure.
Lin Meier is the same. The affairs of the Crane Clan are handled by his father Lin Zhuo. Unless the Crane Clan encounters a large-scale invasion, she doesn't have to go back. Therefore, she is willing to follow her master Lian Ling to continue to cultivate, so as to save herself from taking care of that mess. What's more, she can often see Gou Zhu here.
King Yun was named "General of Pinghai" by Emperor Kun Yuan. Although he did not allocate more soldiers to him, the specifications were improved a lot at once, and he was specially given the privilege of "being outside, and the king's order is not subject to it", indefinitely. This is tantamount to agreeing with his practice of listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement. Unless a military order is issued by the Privy Council to meet the enemy, no one can use him again.
This may be the true favor of Emperor Kun Yuan, and the possibility of him inheriting the throne has been considered, but it has to be examined again. After all, this son is only thirty-two years old. But it is also possible that the emperor just conformed to the will of the people and found a step for himself. King Yun originally listened to the tune and didn't listen to the announcement.
The plaque of Emperor Kun Yuan has long been hung on the gate of the hanging gate of Jade Peak, and there are three huge gilded characters on it: "Biyun View".
Regardless of whether it is called Biyun Temple or Jade Palace, anyway, from now on, Jade Palace is a Taoist temple that is truly recognized by the imperial court, and theoretically it is completely equal to the Five Virtues of the Five Elements Sect.
The Five Elements Sect wisely withdrew all the Five Elements Patrol Posts in Jinzhou. Since then, Golden State has been completely the territory of the Jade Palace.
What Gou Zhu didn't expect next was that Wen Chuxiao, the sect leader of the Five Elements Sect, came forward and made a huge exchange of interests with Song Xiangyi and Jade Palace: he exchanged the right to operate Song Xiangyi's gold mine with the teleportation array of Yuntian City, the underworld cave under the array, and the business around the teleportation array.
Although Wen Chuxiao is an idle Xuan, but Zhou Tao, Chen Ang and other Confucian Xuan caused trouble, as the sect master, he still has to wipe his ass clean. There is no way he has broken the contract with the imperial court.
At that time, the Five Elements Sect was attacking from all sides, and it was almost impossible to open the pot, and it was impossible to come up with enough money to buy the gold in Song Xiangyi's gold mine.
Without gold, they would have to postpone delivery to the imperial court, and the penalty for breach of contract would be even more terrible when calculated. He didn't dare to rely on the accounts of the imperial court, so he could only break his wrist as a strong man.
After the battle of Taiyang Peak, Mudeyuan Kong Du and his disciple Ghost Xuanyin colluded with the sea demons, causing the reputation of the Five Elements Sect in the Jinzhou area to plummet. Moreover, the Gu family's plan to kill Mu Jia completely angered King Yun. The relationship between the Five Elements Sect and the Cloud King has long been different.
Yuntian City belongs to Jinzhou, and it is the territory of the Cloud King, and if the interests of the Five Elements Sect are not traded out in Yuntian City, sooner or later they will not be able to keep it.
Although it is a pity that the Underworld Cave is the most valuable of them, the Underworld Infant Treasure has been turned upside down by them, and all the valuable things have been taken away, so even if the transaction is lost, the loss is limited.
But what they didn't know was that the most valuable magic weapon in the infant collection, that is, the bloodstained monument, had already been condemned for taking the lead.
Song Xiangyi has contracted most of the business in Yuntian City, and he no longer has to worry about a gold mine being coveted by all parties, and he is making money every day, and he has Jade Palace as a backer behind him, and he has lived a life of poverty and luxury since then.
The Jade Palace obtained the teleportation array and the underground cavern. Lian Ling spent a lot of money to let Huang Lu secretly set up a formation in the teleportation array, and opened up a direct teleportation channel with the Taibai Forest of the Crane Clan and Li Shan of the Muluo Department of the Tree Clan.
The teleportation array that leads directly to the demon realm is strictly forbidden by the imperial court, but as long as it is not discovered, it will be fine. Lian Ling is a person who seeks stability, and it is really at a critical juncture, and it is always wrong to have two more back roads.
After having the Underworld, the Jade Palace sent many inner disciples to station there to condense the Xuanyin Pill. The output of Xuanyin Pill has increased considerably. Coupled with the income from operating the teleportation array, the current life of the Jade Palace is not the same as the previous one.
There are frequent wars in the north, but because the demon world and the sea demons do not make trouble, the world of Jinyu and Jinyu under the rule of King Yun is peaceful, and Gou Zhu is isolated from the world in Danyang Pavilion, and he lives a relaxed and leisurely fairy life.
All good days pass quickly. Three years have passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it is already the golden autumn of the thirty-ninth year of Kun Yuan, and this day is September 20.
Outside Jinyu City, in a mountain col in the northern suburbs, there is a mansion. The mansion was so large that it didn't look like a private house anymore, but rather a city. This is the mansion of the Song family, so it is called Song City.
The style in Song City is chaotic and unified. There are not only the loft pavilions and pavilions that are common in the golden jade city, the gentle gardens in the south of the Yangtze River with small bridges and flowing water, but also the kind of buildings that are square and simple in shape, but the patterns on them are extremely complex and dazzling. There is also a splendid atmosphere hall of Houtu City.
This is because the successive heads of the Song family have different tastes and preferences. In addition, the Song family has money, so if they are not satisfied with the building of the previous generation of family owners, they will expand a piece of land and build it again. "Song Cheng" is getting bigger and bigger, and the styles are becoming more and more diverse.
In late autumn, the breeze is coming, a place in Songcheng, a large red maple leaf swaying with the wind, and the autumn is high and refreshing. There is a clear pond surrounded by maple leaves, and a three-story wooden building in the Gangnam style is erected in the water by wooden pillars, and many tables are placed on each floor. At each table, two people are playing chess against each other.
One of the two players at one table was Gou. He was idle in the Jade Palace and paid Song Ruhai to "play". But the person sitting opposite him was not Song Ruhai, but a middle-aged man from the Song family with a round and shiny face, but a shrewd look in his eyes, named Song Qian.
They're not playing chess. There was no chessboard, just a black bowl with an upside-down buckle. The contents of the bowl are also very simple, and inside is a copper coin.
The copper coins of the Houtu Dynasty are the most common currency, and a thousand coins are equal to one tael of silver. Now, Gou Zhu is a little unsightly. This copper coin has two sides, one side is written with the name of Kun Yuan, and the other side is the portrait of Emperor Kun Yuan.
Their game is called "guessing the money", and it's outrageously simple.
One of them holds the copper coin in his hand and puts it under the black bowl, so that the other party will not see it, put the copper coin away, buckle the black bowl, and call it "buried". Another person guessed whether the buried copper coin was the year name up or the head up, which was called "guessing". If you guess correctly, you win, and if you guess wrong, the person who buried the coin wins.
The benefits of winning or losing are very important, and it is directly a hundred taels of silver! Such a good opportunity to make money, of course, will not let it go.
Although he was already a Purple Mansion Consummation Great Cultivator, even if he used the power of his divine sense to probe the things held under the bowl through an ordinary bowl, he could at most feel the filthy copper rust, and roughly guessed that there was a copper coin in it. As for whether the year name is on or the human head is on it, unless he has cultivated some kind of perspective secret technique, there is absolutely no way.
It's useless for him to really have perspective here. Because he had already tested it with his divine sense, he found that none of these bowls of the Song family were mortal. The materials of the bowls are mixed with extremely expensive dry spirit iron pith, which can isolate the spiritual machine. Under the cover, his Purple Mansion Divine Sense was also completely isolated.
"Guess this Daoist. ”
Song Qian had already buttoned the bowl, leaned back relaxedly, took a sip of the teacup on the table, and swept his gaze lightly over the young monk opposite who was dressed ordinarily, but had a bit of fairy wind and bones.
Names are not required at the table. He only knew that this was the Jade Palace monk who came with Song Ruhai, but he didn't know who he was. Seeing that the Taoist robe he was wearing was very ordinary, Song Qian guessed that this might be the attendant brought by Song Ruhai.
At this gambling table, not only are monks useless, but it is also useless to let your immortals descend to earth. Because it's not a magic spell here, it's a brain.
It is very remarkable that the gods and gods are powerful, but no matter how powerful the gods are, they can only grab money. What is the difference between that and the Jiangyang thieves? If you really want to make money continuously, you still have to rely on the minds of businessmen. And this is exactly what he can crush all cultivators.
He really hated that these cultivators always pretended to be calm and complacent when they were young. But it didn't matter, he would soon see that the cultivator, who still looked personable, was scratching his ears and cheeks in anger.
