Chapter 403 Intercepting the Ship
Three months later, on an island hanging alone in the open sea, He Ping walked out of a temporary cave and saw that the sky was as usual, cloudless, the sea breeze was blowing, the sun was shining brightly, and the blue sea surface was sparkling, which was extremely breathtaking. Comfortable.
He had been in the open sea for a while, and because the two-world passage he accidentally discovered was located on the coral seabed near the island, he spent some time and used the power of the puppet city to arrange it. At the entrance of the passage, countless restrictions were placed to stabilize this passage.
On the other hand, in order to protect this unexpectedly discovered passage, he was not in a hurry to leave here.
"This island is actually considered a territory of the Yanlong Kingdom. Most of the monks in the Yanlong Kingdom are branches of the Dragon Worship Cult in the north. Although the Yanlong Kingdom is one of the three overseas sea kingdoms, it is a pity that the owner of the Bingxia Palace, Jin Riyan, was stabbed to death by Baojian Hou. It’s nothing serious. But if the news leaks out, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.”
He Ping inquired around and found something. He noticed that the coral seabed was not in the deep sea, and this island was not a hidden place. If he tried to occupy it, it would most likely attract the attention of others.
Yanlong Kingdom is one of the three overseas sea kingdoms, and Bingchi Palace is also a well-known force overseas. Unfortunately, after the death of the palace owner Jin Rishen, it has collapsed. Except for a Taoist Supreme Elder who is supporting the scene, the other monks in the sect are all Lulu is the remaining son.
However, even if Yanlong Kingdom and Bingchi Palace are not a concern, there are other forces overseas. A stable passage connected to the Corpse Road is a hot commodity wherever it is placed, and it is unknown how many overseas cultivation forces will be jealous.
It should be noted that for any sect to survive, it depends on nothing more than strength, resources, and connections. All overseas forces have long been covetous of the world-sealing gate controlled by the holy Bodhisattva of the Zunxing Sect, as well as the corpse passage. If not for the fact that everyone was not sure of facing a master of manifesting the gods, I am afraid that someone would have been there long ago. They took action against the Kamikaze Kingdom and the Zunxing Sect.
This is a great opportunity. If the news spreads, it will inevitably attract the covetous attention of the three major chambers of commerce: Sihai, Cathay and Yingtai, and may even involve the seven remaining clans, Fuyu Kingdom, Kamikaze Kingdom, and Dan. People from the Taiwanese ethnic group will also come over to get a share of the pie.
He Ping is not afraid of these forces. The puppet city, the most powerful weapon to suppress religion, is extremely powerful and can be resisted by masters of magic. However, there is no need for him to become the target of public attention and attract attention everywhere.
After all, he came overseas to change locations and establish roots for his subordinates, not to be the leader.
"It's just that, in order to compete for resources in the internal and external seas, the major overseas forces have been fighting against each other for many years, fighting openly and covertly, and they are all a bit dirty with each other. Just like wild dogs peeing to mark their territory, each has its own If you have your own territory, if someone has new resources and they all come after hearing the news, they will be like wild dogs fighting for food without any grace, and it will not be easy for me to force my way in. "
He Ping started to analyze.
——I’m not afraid of a real beating.
When it came to comparing calculations and means, he might not have failed to master the tricks.
The question is, how can I have so much time to keep struggling with these forces?
"It seems that we still need to find a way to use the internal operations of Yanlong Kingdom to deceive others..."
Fortunately, he still had some ideas in his heart.
"That's right."
Chi Xinzi hid in his shadow and spoke unhurriedly: "Yan Long Kingdom is also one of the three major overseas island countries. It has a big family and a big business, and its power is not weak. It was once a dominant force overseas. Even because of Bing Chi Palace, What happened, and lost a Taoist-level master, Yan Longguo still has the foundation, otherwise how could he have sustained it until now."
Full of bad ideas, he made a suggestion.
"It's just that Bingzhi Palace has lost the backbone of Jin Riyan. After all, it can't be compared with the past. If Yanlong Kingdom and Bingzhi Palace hadn't been blocking the news, I'm afraid other overseas forces have already targeted this big fat... Junior Brother, I It seems that we might as well take advantage of this opportunity and try to find an opportunity to infiltrate into Bingchi Palace. With your methods, junior brother, it is not difficult to capture Bingchi Palace and Yanlong Kingdom."
"Senior brother, how much do you know about Yanlong Kingdom and Bingchi Palace."
He Ping consulted Chi Xinzi.
"I had some dealings with people from Bingchi Palace, and secretly planned to capture a royal descendant of Yanlong Kingdom, and I also got some information from them."
Chi Xinzi did not hide anything and directly informed him of the information he had one by one.
The first is Bing Chi Palace. The inheritance of Bing Chi Palace comes from the Dragon Worship Sect in the North. Its cultivation method is the famous Dragon Transformation Secret Technique "Ice Chi Frozen Aura". After Bing Chi Palace split from the Dragon Worship Sect, , and the relationship with the Dragon Worship Sect in the north is not good. The two parties have almost no contact and no friendship at all.
"As for the lineage of the leader of the Yanlong Kingdom, all members have the surname 'Jin'. The master of the Bingchi Palace, Jin Riyan, is also a member of the royal family. Moreover, their ancestors are not natives of the Yanlong Kingdom. They come from the far west. It is said that the ancestors of this family have blood from Daxiye Kingdom."
"Daxiye Country."
He Ping frowned and said, "Why do people from Daxi Ye Kingdom come so far away?"
"The maritime transportation of Daxiye Kingdom is actually quite developed. Its ocean-going ships and the fleet of the seven remaining tribes are the best in the sea. It is said that they even crossed the ocean barrier and once reached the overseas Tianfang Shenzhou."
Chi Xinzi smiled and said: "The Tianfang Divine Continent is called the Third Continent. It is far away from the Holy Continent where we are located. It is hundreds of thousands of miles away. I don't know if it is the bragging of the people of the Daxiye Kingdom, claiming that they are connected with the Holy Continent. People from Tianfangzhou had contacts in the long past."
Dayou, the land centered on Zhonghuan Jiuzhou, has been called "the center of the earth, the origin of the holy way" in Taoist classics since ancient times. In ancient times, including the continent connected to this land, the entire continent was called It's called the Holy State.
And the person who can command the center of the Holy State, that is, the land of Zhonghuan and Jiuzhou, is also called the Son of Heaven.
Only those who dominate this land are the real rulers and the sons of God. As for the surrounding countries, they are just small tribes and barbarians.
This statement is also well-founded. It seems that since ancient times, this land has been the most prosperous. The Taoist sect was also born from the land of Zhonghuan and Jiuzhou. All kinds of Taoist magic and magic are also
Some of the illustrious history and civilization were also spread to the outside world through here.
As for the external forces, they are also eager to take over the land of Zhonghuan in order to obtain the orthodoxy of the world and control the right path of heaven and earth.
"The same is true for the first generation of Emperor You. After he founded the country, he planted his holy foundation of immortality into the land of Great You. Could it be that those ancient legends are true? If you master the nine states of Zhonghuan, you can compete with the superior Linghuan Realm among the three realms. Corresponding to each other from afar, so that the 'human' way among the three talents corresponds to 'heaven' and 'earth', comprehending the mystery of the changes in the way of heaven, and invisibly grasping some kind of authority and power?"
He Ping also guessed that the methods and realm of the Earth Immortal Power were far beyond what he could achieve now. Naturally, he couldn't really guess the secret.
"Senior brother, your idea is indeed a good one."
He Ping murmured to himself.
"Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will become princes. It seems that I can only imitate the ancients and become a thief who steals the country."
"Junior brother said, those who steal hooks will be punished, and those who steal the country will be martyrs. It is also known in the Taoist classics that 'there are five thieves in heaven, and the five thieves are fate, matter, time, power, and god'. It seems that if you want to be successful in practice, you must I am a thief and a thief, the ancients sincerely disapprove of me, hahahahahaha!"
Chi Xinzi let out a long laugh.
"This is just the first step."
He Ping said calmly: "It seems that the 'Xuanxuan Palace' of old man Xuanxuan of the Hunyuan Sect is about to be born. The fake Zhang Jiubao is also secretly thinking about the treasures of the Xuanxuan Palace and the Taoism left by the Hunyuan Sect. I The main goal of coming overseas this time is to prepare means to deal with Zhang Jiubao."
"indeed."
Chi Xinzi also nodded.
"The fake Zhang Jiubao is most likely the result of Wuyousheng. It is in our best interest to find an opportunity to attack this person."
"Don't be too hasty about this matter. If Wuyousheng is really hiding behind the fake Zhang Jiubao, then if we take action directly, it will be equivalent to alerting the snake and delivering food to your door. Wuyousheng's strength is unpredictable, and we don't know what his cultivation level is. I know, and besides, he still has the "Invisible Secret" in his hand, which is the most important treasure for suppressing the religion, so a head-on confrontation would not do me any good..."
He Ping had a deep calculation. He knew that the fake Zhang Jiubao was active overseas, but he did not take the initiative to kill him. He was considering whether Wuyousheng was "the oriole behind" and was waiting for him to come and die.
"If 'Xuanxuan Palace' is really born, I am afraid that the three major overseas masters of manifesting gods will also take action by then, and it is also possible that various forces, including powerful people with profound foundations such as the Three Innate Sects, will rush over to intervene. Even if Even if you live without worries, you may not be able to take advantage."
He Pingruo said to himself profoundly that he didn't care much about the Bone Divine Boat and the Taoist treasures of Xuanxuan Palace. As the saying goes, "Man makes money and birds die for food." Taking the initiative to meddle with this possibility will bring about disaster. Fighting among god-level masters is not equivalent to dying.
At least, in his opinion, instead of thinking about these things, it is better to think about how to use the opportunity of these treasures and rare treasures to plot against his enemies.
As all these thoughts passed by, he suddenly raised his head.
"Someone is coming."
Facing the horizontal line of sea and sky, a small black spot suddenly appeared. Then, the black spot grew larger, and the outline of a large ship could be vaguely seen, slowly heading in this direction.
He Ping narrowed his eyes. The sea-going ship sailing towards this isolated island was completely black and made of a rare black ironwood. This kind of sea-going ship was not small in size, but it was far smaller than the Li ship from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. Dragon ship.
The ship was dozens of feet long. The bow broke through the wind and waves and rolled up thousands of piles of snow. A flag could be faintly seen hanging on the mast. He noticed that the flag of the Star Alliance was hanging on this large ship.
He Ping said quietly: "Yunji, Wangji, and Yu Buxin are finally here."
…
"See your Lord."
The two elders of the Star Reaching Alliance and the current alliance leader Yu Buxin saluted respectfully.
"Get up!"
He Ping stood on the deck and glanced at the big ship.
"You don't have many people this time..."
"Reply to the master."
Taoist Yunji cupped his hands.
"On the other side of Dongli Road, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are encircling and suppressing a few rebel armies raised by the people of the Mud Sect. The two sides are in a quarrel. For this reason, it will take a lot of trouble to rush overseas from southern Xinjiang."
"My lord."
Yu Buxin smiled bitterly and said: "We also spent a lot of money to hire two other ships, but it will take some time to get here. As for our group, we are the first group to arrive at the island in advance."
"The industry in the Star Reaching Alliance is not small, and it is a bit unrealistic to move them all over. The subordinates and others can only make their own decisions and select some of the more outstanding talents in the Star Reaching Alliance and divide them into several batches. Gradually transfer half of the manpower overseas."
Taoist Yunji also explained.
"As far as I know, the custom here overseas is that if you are short of manpower, you might as well go to the sea markets in various places to buy slaves. In the sea markets, human trafficking is also common, and even slaves who are successful cultivators, or There are also many demon slaves in the abyss."
"correct."
He Ping clapped his hands, and he remembered this section.
Overseas, manpower is an extremely important resource. Various sects in the overseas cultivation world have the habit of keeping slaves. Even the Sihai Chamber of Commerce and the Aurora Chamber of Commerce have their own slave-catching groups. On the one hand, they are arresting slaves. Mortals fill the population; on the other hand, they will also hunt monks specifically.
Many of these numerous slave-catching groups are notorious and notorious overseas. They show no mercy to the common people. Over the years, they have caused countless tragedies of wives and children being separated and families destroyed.
Similarly, slave-catching groups are also unscrupulous towards overseas casual cultivators, but no one can do anything about these people. Gein, these slave-catching groups are often hidden dragons and crouching tigers, gathering many powerful masters, and even Taoist masters come out to make extra money.
They have extraordinary strength and ruthlessness. Even if the demons from the Abyss Realm fall into their hands, they will be captured and forcibly tamed into demon slaves.
"The overseas cultivation community doesn't have too many concerns. The strong will get stronger and the weak will get weaker. It can be said that 'the loss is not enough but the reward is more than enough.' In comparison, Dayou can be regarded as a paradise for ordinary mortals."
He Ping thought about it and thought it was quite funny. Although the Dayou Imperial Court is regarded as a ferocious beast by the cultivating sects, the people under its rule can still be protected by the imperial order to some extent. Without this layer of protection, the common people will be exposed to the oppression of the monks.
"Junior brother, we don't need to go to any market to buy any manpower."
Chi Xinzi smiled.
"There is indeed a market nearby, owned by the Sudra tribe of the Sinian Chamber of Commerce. This market happens to be engaged in slave cultivation and population business. If you have that intention, go to the Sudra tribe. Isn't it okay? If you can get it, why spend any money?"
This senior brother picked up He Ping's business without capital. At the same time, he also recalled that Chixinzi had killed several masters of the Sudra tribe, and could also use the puppet method to control these people. Maybe he could really go to the Aurora Chamber of Commerce. Beat the autumn breeze.
At this moment, Taoist Yunji reached out and took out a jade talisman. It was a jade talisman for communication. As soon as the jade talisman was taken out, it exploded in the hands of the Kongkong Sect elder.
"Yunji, what happened?"
Seeing this, He Ping narrowed his eyes and asked.
"My lord."
Taoist Yunji didn't dare to say a word. He could only lower his head and answer honestly.
"Our other two sea-going ships were forcibly intercepted by someone in the sea area where Yanlong Kingdom's route is located."
