Chapter 233: Return to Huzhou
After the matter in Star City was dealt with, Li Sen directly used the teleportation array of Weide Pavilion to leave this place.
Half a day later, Li Sen appeared around Xiaoli Mountain on the Wu-Yue border.
After searching the place for a while, Li Sen found Sha Chao in the mountains.
Sha Chao was dressed in a blood-red robe, his figure was very burly, he roared between the mountains and forests, chasing wolves and tigers, looking very majestic.
This person has an open chest and back, a swallow-jawed tiger beard, and his expression is also very fierce. At first glance, he doesn't look like a cultivator, but like a spicy butcher who has been working for many years.
Sha Chao was originally hunting third-level demon beasts around Xiaoli Mountain, but now he was a little surprised to see Li Sen come to look for him. He pressed the buzzing flying fork in his hand and asked Li Sen what he meant.
Li Sen knew that this person was a bold man, so he didn't say anything to him, and said directly to the point: "Sha Daoyou, the construction of the Huzhou Juxing Branch has been completed, and it is now in preliminary operation. However, a month later, when the seaside embankment was built, Li would hold a publicity event in the branch pavilion, hoping that Sha Daoyou would go to support one or two and help guard by the way. ”
When Sha Daoyou heard this, he said very boldly: "It's a trivial matter, why worry about it! However, Sha took over a collection task from the Shang Alliance a while ago, and he wanted to hunt the furs of 30 'Golden Retriever Thunder Lions'! Sha had been hunting for many days and had already obtained 20 pieces. Since Li Daoyou is here, how about helping to collect the remaining ten furs by the way? "The fastest, the newer, the newest, the fastest, the newest, the newest, the newest, the fastest, the faster, the newer, the newest, the best
When Li Sen heard this, he smiled slightly, nodded and agreed.
Immediately, the two of them quickly searched around this small chestnut mountain.
Although Li Sen's cultivation is not as good as Sha Chao in the late stage of foundation building, the strength of his divine consciousness is much stronger than Sha Chao. So when you search for demon beasts, the speed is even three points faster than Sha Chao.
In just three days, Li Sen had already helped Sha Chao and collected all the remaining furs.
Sha Chao was very grateful to Li Sen for his help, and after thanking Li Sen, he immediately returned to Shangmeng to resume the task.
Of course, this person also mentioned the Huzhou branch a month later, and he Shachao will definitely go to the court.
After Li Sen saw Sha Chao leave, he left directly to the territory of Yue without stopping.
Not long after, Li Sen came to the Hengyue Mountains in the hinterland of Yue again.
The three small sects that were originally stationed on Hengyue Mountain had already been killed and wounded, and the building was empty. Later, the Star Gathering Merchant Alliance took over the borderland.
On today's Hengyue Mountain, the people who stay in it are all people from the Star Gathering Business Alliance. Or some loose cultivation that has a lot to do with the Gathering Star Business Alliance, or a third-rate sect.
In short, Hengyue Mountain has long been a matter of fact.
After Li Sen returned to this place, he did not alarm any monks, but went straight to the cherry blossom tree of Xiaoyue Peak, and then sat cross-legged and waited quietly.
Not long after, a gray spiritual light galloped from Hengyue Houshan and landed in front of Li Sen.
After this retreat landed, the gray aura spread out, revealing one of the thin old men in yellow robes.
This person is a stone man who has not been seen for a long time.
During the Battle of Hengyue Mountain, in order to cover Li Sen, Shidaoren was seriously injured and forced to flee.
Later, when Li Sen went to Star City, after meeting the down-and-out Wang Er, he specially asked this person to buy some pills and materials for himself.
Most of these things are for the treatment of the injuries of the stone people. A small part of the things are quite related to the cultivation of the stone path people.
For more than three years in the following years, the Shidao people basically lived in seclusion around the Batu Cave in Hengyue Hou Mountain.
Because in the entire territory of Yue Kingdom, only there are still some 'Yin Luo ghost qi' left. And this kind of yin and evil aura, which is quite fatal to ordinary people, is of great benefit to Luo Daoren, the 'thousand-year-old refining corpse'.
Now after the stone people saw Li Sen, they respectfully bowed their hands.
Li Sen looked at the stone man.
I saw that the terrifying scars on Shi Daoren's original body had disappeared, and although his body looked thin, there was a faint black aura lingering on it. A few steps away, you can clearly feel the cold aura emanating from the stone man.
And the strange black pupils of the stone road people, as well as a wisp of stars floating in the pupils, make ordinary people shudder when they look at it.
Li Sen looked at Shi Daoren for a moment, and then a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that you have lived in seclusion in Hengyue Houshan for three years, and you have not slackened your cultivation. Your current cultivation is infinitely close to the middle stage of foundation building, right?"
Shi Daoren's expression was indifferent, but his tone was extremely respectful: "Master Mingjian." It's just that if you want to advance to the middle stage of foundation building, you still need some nourishing things that contain the power of yin and evil. Relying solely on the thin yin qi of Hengyue Hou Mountain, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through in a short period of time. ”
I haven't seen him for a few years, and the tone of the stone road man is still the same hoarse and indistinguishable, and it sounds like grit rubbing.
Li Sen touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then nodded slightly: "That's true." The Batu Cave in Hengyue Hou Mountain, although it is a high-grade yin land. But after being transformed by Li more than a hundred years ago, the Yin Qi hidden in the ground has been unable to make ends meet. A few years ago, Li Mou's 'Ghost Luo Yin Array' there collapsed on its own, causing the Yin Qi there to deteriorate year by year. It is indeed very difficult to advance with the Yin Qi there. ”
"The host Mingjian. The stone man gave up his hand again, "However, the underground yin qi began to be inexplicably restless during this period of time. It seems that somewhere on the continent, an ancient true demon power has appeared, so the yin qi in this place has also been affected. ”
"Ancient True Demon?" Li Sen was slightly startled, "That's an ancient existence whose divine power is no less than that of a cultivator in the Transformation Stage, and there should be no remnant of True Demon in the human world." ”
"Then I don't know. The stone man shook his head.
Li Sen thought about it, and finally frowned slightly: "Don't worry too much. Even if there really was an Ancient True Demon, it would be a matter for the old guys in the Cultivation Realm. It has nothing to do with our group of foundation-building monks. Instead, let's think about our own things first. ”
"Master, please speak. Shi Daoren looked at Li Sen.
Li Sen said with a faint expression: "Since you stay here, there is no longer much possibility of advancement. Then he went with Li and went to Huzhou to gain a foothold. Perhaps within the territory of Wu State, it is not necessary to find other 'superior Yin Lands'. ”
Hearing this, Shi Daoren nodded, and stood behind Li Sen.
"Let's go!"
Li Sen let out a low snort, and even inspired a cyan retreat, stepping on the empty plate and heading straight for Wu Kingdom.
Shidao people naturally followed.
For a while, one green and one gray, they went straight to the direction of Wu in the northeast.
......
Seven days after Li Sen left Huzhou, Li Sen finally returned to Cai County, Huzhou.
After flying all the way to the beach, Li Sen found that the coastline today is no longer the barren beach of the past, but has become a noisy place that is in full swing and rubbing shoulders.
About 2,000 people gathered on this beach, and then under the command of several village elders, they worked one after another.
There are even some officers and soldiers of the government staying next to it, maintaining order here.
Li Sen overwhelmed the mang, landed directly at the door of the Gathering Star Branch, found Juan, and inquired about the construction of the embankment.
When I asked, I learned that today's beach gathers almost all the working population of Cai County.
Because of the work here, the good salaries, and the free food and lodging are provided, not only the surrounding villages have gathered a large number of laborers. Almost all the people in Cai County know about the construction of the embankment here.
Even today, some people from other counties have come here from hundreds of miles away to ask to participate in the construction of the embankment.
A large population not only brings a large number of laborers, but also many business opportunities.
As an experienced businessman, Juan immediately took the opportunity to build a huge square in the building of the Juxing Branch.
Around the square, many shops are being built at the moment, including taverns, horse shops, rice and noodle shops, grocery stores, and forging shops.
It is expected that in less than ten days, these highly commercial stores will be completed and officially start operation.
Li Sen appreciated Juan's judgment very much. However, Li Sen pointed to the officers and soldiers on the coastline and said, "Why did these people from the government come here?"
"When there are too many people, there are all kinds of people, and it is difficult to restrain them. Juan explained, "Liu Daoyou went to the county guard of Huzhou County, and after saying hello to the people of Zhongyitang, he replaced all the officials there with ours. Liu Daoyou is still cleaning up the remnants of the Yuanling Business Alliance. It is estimated that it will not be long before the entire territory of Huzhou, including Cai County, will be our people from black to white. ”
"Well done. Li Sen nodded, "Doing things neatly and neatly is really Liu Yinyue's style." ”
"Hehe, when we and other cultivators do business, we pay the most attention to stability and safety. The best thing is to have complete control of the government so that the risk can be minimized. Juan smiled.
It's just that after he finished laughing, he saw the stone man behind Li Sen again.
"Who is this?" asked Juan, with a hint of politeness.
Li Sen said lightly: "This is a Shidao person, and he is an old friend of Li." When I heard that we had set up a branch of the stars here, I wanted to visit it. By the way, you can help a little. ”
Shi Daoren and Juan greeted each other: "Shi has seen Hu Daoyou. ”
"That's great!" Juan overjoyed, "the branch has just been formed, and there is a need for people everywhere. If Shi Daoyou comes to help, the pressure will be reduced a lot!"
"Pressure?"
When Li Sen heard these two words, his eyebrows raised slightly: "What's the matter, the Yuanling Business Alliance has already sent someone?"
When Juan heard this, he sighed, his old face was full of worry: "What we are doing here is in full swing, which naturally alarms the monks of the Yuanling Business Alliance. Just yesterday, there was a foundation building monk of the Yuan Ling Shang Alliance, who had sneakily hid in the sky and spied on us all afternoon. ”
"Hmph, it seems that the monks of the Yuanling Merchant Alliance are still going to take action against us. Li Sen snorted coldly.
But compared to Juan, who was full of worry, there was no fear on Leesen's face.
