Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 675: The king
In winter, the cold wind is like an arrow.
A hundred-foot iceberg floated on the water, slowly moving along with the ice that stretched for miles.
"Be careful, there's something underwater!"
"Winter, winter, winter!"
The warning gong sounded.
A few figures flashed across the iceberg, and ice caves opened at the foot of the mountain, on the mountainside, and on the top of the mountain. Water flowed, spears shot, and wind blew. In the blink of an eye, a strong wind covered with ice shards rolled up within a radius of more than ten miles. .
The ice chips swept past, and rafts suddenly appeared on the water nearby.
The snow-white raft is less than ten feet long, with a fox head, wide body, and fox tail. Its surface is covered with a layer of soft fox fur. It is filled with yellow tigers, one-foot-long monkeys, and blue lions bathing in flames...
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Many monsters jumped onto the ice.
The six-bearded green snake underwater and the iron-beaked crane in the sky also took action.
"Cum!"
A group of ice spears flew out.
"Block!"
The one-foot-high monkey took out a large shield that was ten feet high and stood in front of the monsters. A few iron-beaked cranes were shot by ice spears and fell silently with a touch of blood.
"It's frozen! The shield is frozen!"
"Rush over!"
Huang Biaohu rushed out first, followed closely by the other monsters.
One corpse after another fell down and returned to human form and demon skin.
Several monster beasts rushed to the foot of the mountain.
The blue lion bathing in flames opened its mouth and spit out green flames, and the monkeys one foot tall took out the bear fire pills and threw them into the hole with all their strength.
"Boom! Boom..."
Amidst several dull roars, cracks appeared on the iceberg, and the wind quickly weakened.
At this time, a group of monks wearing ice armor walked out near the top of the mountain. Everyone held ice spears and slid down the iceberg, as if they were attacking ice beasts one after another.
"Kill!"
Many demonic beasts collided head-on.
In a moment, streaks of red appeared on the iceberg, and blood flowed, like hundreds of winding rivers of blood.
Heaven.
Lu Tong looked down, weighing the strengths and weaknesses, pros and cons of each monster in his mind.
A Nascent Soul Master walked out of the clouds and said: "The leader of a country actually came forward in person. Is it possible that there is no one available to the good demon and the righteous country?"
"Who is Taoist Fellow Taoist?"
"Ji Guo, Zhou Zhengfang."
Zhou Zhengfang, wearing green clothes and green eyebrows, has a strand of green silk wrapped around his left hand, and his aura is very lively.
Lu Tong looked at it carefully and said, "You want to take action?"
"Master Yuan said you are difficult to deal with, but I want to try how difficult it is."
"Please."
Zhou Zhengfang stared for a while, shook his head and said: "The time has not come yet, there will be plenty of opportunities when the war comes."
After saying that, a puff of green smoke came out from under his feet and rose into the sea of clouds.
Lu Tong looked down again.
The iceberg is sinking.
The fox raft of the Young Fox Kingdom can transform into water, and the Taoist soldiers of the Liangyao Zheng Kingdom are very good at fighting. The victory or defeat has been decided since they successfully climbed the iceberg.
He glanced at the corpse a few times, broke the demon skin, and jumped away from the place.
Purple Air Palace.
Lu Tong sat in the hall and said: "Little blue bird, ask Wangqiu to come over."
"Yes."
After drinking tea, Wangqiu entered the hall and said: "Master."
"What have you been busy with recently?"
Wangqiu shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do. I occasionally go to Xiaobai Mountain to sit with Bai Qiao."
Lu Tong looked at the disciple he had accepted as a last resort.
Of the four disciples, Wangqiu, Ji Baobao, Zhiguan, and Xu Xuxing, only Wangqiu is still alone and has no roots in the country.
"There are two vacancies now. One is the Ceremony Hall, which is responsible for etiquette, as well as internal and external affairs. The other is the Sutra Collection Hall, which is dedicated to collecting exercises. Which one do you choose?"
Wangqiu was silent for a while and said: "My disciple's ability is shallow and he is not qualified. Master, please choose someone else."
"If you haven't done it yet, how do you know it can't be done?"
"Disciples choose the Sutra Collection Hall."
"Starting tomorrow, I will enter the Xuanyang Hall every day to organize books and exercises."
"Yes."
……
When the war started, money was spent like water.
Rewards, elixirs, magic weapons, etc., are like a bottomless pit, making the already scarce money even more urgent.
Deep winter.
Lu Tong took the secret letter sent by Kuhuang and looked through the method of creating land from water.
Making land is difficult.
The first major difficulty is the undercurrent in the water. The undercurrent is like a knife, and it is difficult for ordinary materials to resist it. What can be resisted is often cherished and cannot be used to build land.
Feng Guo selected aquatic plants and aquatic vines, and quickly covered a large area of water, taking advantage of the countless **** water that broke through the cliff, stabilizing the shallow water area.
Crush the undercurrent in shallow water finely. At this time, add snails, shells, etc., which can not only crush the undercurrent, but also be used as food.
In addition, we also have to deal with strong winds, tides, ice...
Lu Tong realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of building land.
"The king, Qiu Ci asked for an audience and brought two strangers with him."
"Please come in."
"Yes."
Soon, Qiu Ci led people into the palace and said, "I have met the Lord."
Lu Tong nodded slightly and looked at the two people who came in together.
A female cultivator, who looked slightly younger than Qiu Ci, about thirty years old, had sleepy eyes and a strong smell of alcohol.
A male cultivator, barefooted and wrapped in a gray cloth robe, with his chest and abdomen exposed, slovenly, and his hair particularly messy, entered the hall and immediately looked around.
The three of them looked at each other.
Qiu Ci introduced: "Master, this is Danzui, a disciple of Master Zhangqiao. This is Xiao Kuangjiao. He has traveled all over the world before, just seeking freedom."
Lu Tong understood instantly.
Here comes a happy road.
"Sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Lord."
Dan Zui bowed, walked to the futon and sat down.
Laughing Kuangjiao turned around and walked to the side of the hall, leaned against the pillar, then slowly slid down the pillar and sat down on the ground.
Lu Tong blinked and said: "You two have traveled a long distance, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work. Anyway, we eat and sleep in the open every day. It doesn't matter if we are on the road or not." Xiao Kuangjiao muttered a few words and suddenly grinned, "It will be different from now on. Every day will be a good day from now on."
Lu Tong’s eyes flashed.
If you are crazy, you must rely on something.
Laughing Kuangjiao has a very arrogant reputation and a arrogant behavior. It is difficult for such a person to survive until now without any means.
He suppressed his displeasure and said: "Although Liangyao Zhengguo is a small country, it still has tens of thousands of pavilions, enough to protect the wise people in the world."
"It seems that we have come to the right time this time."
Laughing Kuangjiao raised his head against the pillar and began to look at the beams above his head.
Lu Tong looked at Qiu Ci.
Qiu Ci said: "Junior Sister Danzui, did you write a 'Collection of Water and Soil'?"
"Oh?"
Lu Tong immediately became interested and said: "What is Shuituji?"
Danzui took out a stack of paper and said: "Exchange water for fields. I heard that most of Liangyao Zhengguo's territory is in the hands of the mountain lord and his subordinates. Now that the war has broken out again, I thought of a temporary solution. Tuck it back."
Lu Tong raised his hand to take a picture of the paper and immediately started to look through it.
The war merits were greatly rewarded, war boats and giant ships were sacrificed in the country, and a decree was issued to "exchange land for boats" to induce the mountain owner and his men to go north...
He scanned it quickly and said, "What if they don't change?"
"Increase rewards."
Lu Tong smiled and shook his head.
Exchanging benefits for benefits, the only thing that can make people let go obediently is greater benefits. However, after the war broke out, the business declined, and there was no profit left.
While thinking, he said: "Qiu Ci, what do you think?"
"You can give it a try."
Lu Tong thought for a moment, nodded slowly and said: "Set up the regulations as soon as possible."
"Yes."
He glanced at Xiao Kuangjiao and saw that this person had no intention of speaking, and said: "Qiu Ci, you are familiar with them, so I will leave the placement to you."
"Yes."
"Step back."
Laughing Kuangjiao stood up lazily and exited together with Qiu Ci.
Lu Tong shook his head, read "Shui Tu Ji" again, and murmured: "I just asked for the Flying Crown Immortal Ship, and I want a batch of war ships. The debt is getting bigger and bigger."
……
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
The situation has changed in half a year. The waters in the north of Jiguo, Youhu, and Liangyao Zhengguo are like a pot of boiling water. No matter day or night, there are many fights every day.
Ji Guo is one against three, and his momentum is not weak at all. It seems that he is ready to continue to wear out.
The Young Fox Kingdom frequently sends secret agents to use illusions to disrupt the interior of Ji Kingdom.
Liangyao Zhengguo has the weakest national power, but with the support of Shuguo and Lianzhoushan, he sent a thousand tortoise-shell warships and more than ten wave-shaking warships all the way north, and the country gradually penetrated into Jieshui Lake.
Shu Kingdom, Lotus Pond Heavenly Palace.
Lu Tong went straight into the palace and said, "Junior sister, did my uncle take away the Jade Chao Immortal Ship?"
Que Yu sat deep in the hall, her eyes averted for a moment, and she nodded slowly.
Lu Tong went over and sat across from him and said, "I once said that the Jade Chao Immortal Ship is the foundation of Junior Sister. Why should it be handed over to others?"
"Father knows about the Flying Crown Immortal Ship."
"What?"
Lu Tong frowned slightly.
Que Yu pursed her lips and said: "Father said, senior brother can be believed, but he can't be trusted. I, I have no choice but to agree."
"Hey."
Lu Tong sighed, looked at Que Yu and said slowly: "Junior sister is so immature, how about after seven years..."
Halfway through his words, his heart suddenly thumped.
The leader of the country will be determined after seven years.
In the palace that day, Mr. Yuan Shu ignored Que Shenpeng. If Que Shenpeng used Que Yu's hand to monopolize all the affairs of the country, he would probably not be able to pass it after seven years.
But...
On that day, Laojun personally asked him if he was still the master of Shuguo.
Perhaps, during the seven-year period, what Lao Jun looks at is not necessarily Que Yu, but whether he can check and balance Que Shenpeng and assist Zuo Queyu to secure his position as the leader of the country.
Lu Tong calmed down, and the more he thought about it, the more it seemed possible.
"Shu Kingdom..."
"Senior brother?"
Que Yu noticed the change in aura and was a little confused.
Lu Tong looked at Que Yu, was silent for a long time, and said, "Junior sister, what do you think is the difference between the leader of a country and ordinary monks?"
"The king is very busy and... also far away from everyone."
Lu Tong smiled and said: "Time is still short, and junior sister has no confidants yet. When she has someone of her own, she will naturally have someone close to her."
Que Yu slowly shook his head.
"It's different. After becoming the king of the country, even if you are close to him, it will be different from before."
"It seems that junior sister is quite talented."
Lu Tong suppressed his smile and said seriously: "So junior sister, do you want to be the leader of the country, or would you rather be an ordinary monk?"
Que Yu remained silent.
Lu Tong stared at Que Yu and saw the hesitation in Que Yu's eyes, but the hesitation was very little and weak.
He saw what he was thinking and said, "Is it time for junior sister to become a 'Jade Chao'?"
"What?"
"The leader of the country, Yuchao, has since established the Yuchao Immortal Ship as the 'palace'. He has established a state business and personally taken charge of the merchants on the immortal ship. At the same time, he canonized Que Shenpeng as the 'King of Shenpeng', with the same status as Feiguan. ”
Que Yu’s eyes trembled.
Lu Tong continued:
"The Kingdom of Shu is in an excellent location. It has access to eight hundred immortal ships. It can use 'merchants' to establish the country. The Jade Chao Immortal Ship is still the foundation. It establishes the national merchants, takes charge of the merchants on the ship, connects the inside and outside, and seeks huge profits."
"For guarding, you can first form an alliance with Liangyao Zhengguo. I will send people to patrol the waters of Shuguo."
"Send a letter of credence to Lianzhoushan and Zuntian Divine Realm respectively to inform them of this matter, and also request help, gather everyone's strength, and work together to the west to engulf the spiritual land occupied by the monsters into the country."
"With this credit, firstly, I can increase my foundation, and secondly, I can gain support from Lianzhoushan and Zuntian Divine Realm."
Que Yu lowered his head and his breath gradually became calm.
"What should I do, father?"
"Let him come to see me."
……
After staying in Shuguo for half a day, Lu Tong hurriedly returned.
Purple Air Palace.
Xiao Longting stood outside the hall, with a disheveled **** man lying next to him.
Lu Tong fell slowly.
"Meet the King."
Xiao Longting bowed his hands.
Lu Tong glanced at it and said, "Laughing Kuangjiao, why are you like this?"
"Shameless national thieves, hijacking the country's leader and causing chaos to the people, relying on favors to be arrogant, and bullying the weak..."
Laughing Kuangjiao turned around and lay on the ground, pointing at Xiao Longting and scolding him.
Xiao Longting crossed his arms, and the bones and armor collided with each other, making a series of crisp impacts, and said: "My lord, this person insulted Zhanghoushan in public and ruined my reputation. Please punish me severely!"
"Hahaha!"
The laughing dragon grinned widely and said: "A country's moth dares to talk nonsense about its reputation. Please kill this beast as soon as possible. This beast's family is rich in wealth and covers an area of tens of thousands of hectares. Killing one person can enrich ten thousand people, so he should be killed!" ”
"Seeking death!"
Xiao Longting roared, activated his magic power, and a billowing wave of fire rose up from his armor.
"Enough!"
Lu Tong stopped the two of them and said: "State affairs must be governed by laws. How can we allow you to act arbitrarily? Little blue bird!"
"Here."
"Go and invite the Lord of the Palace!"
"Yes."
Inside the Purple Air Palace.
Lu Tong sits at the top.
Jue Tianniu stood in the middle, with Xiao Longting and Xiao Kuangjiao on the left and right.
After hearing the reasons, Jue Tianniu’s old face immediately wrinkled into a ball.
Lu Tong said expressionlessly: "Master of Jue Palace, you are in charge of Yi Palace. According to the laws of the country, how should you decide this matter?"
Jue Tianniu is in a very difficult position.
On one side is the unparalleled mountain lord, who has made many military exploits recently, has many people, money, and power.
On one side are people from Qizhi Mountain. Although they don’t know the origin, they often go in and out of Qiyin Palace and interact with Qiu Ci, Liu Jixin and others.
Jue Tianniu looked at Lu Tong, trying to see some preferences, but couldn't see anything.
At this time, Xiao Kuangjiao suddenly cursed: "Old man, you are the master of Liangyao Zhengguo, not a slave of Xiao Mansion. Don't be afraid of this person's power or favor this person!"
Jue Tianniu was furious.
Xiao Longting scolded: "Skinned dead dog! I..."
"Okay."
Lu Tong waved his hand and said: "This is the Purple Air Palace. If you dare to speak rudely again, let's go to jail and get scolded together."
Xiao Longting remained silent.
Jue Tianniu’s eyes changed a few times.
One of them cursed first and the other just retaliated. It’s not fair for them all to go to jail. Moreover, one finished his sentence and the other only half-sentence.
"Reporting to the Lord of the Kingdom, according to the "Penal Law of Good Demons, there is no crime for scolding people."
Xiao Longting looked at Jue Tianniu. ~IndoMTL.com~ The Laughing Maniac Jiao laughed again.
"Haha, old man, if you read the criminal law again, what is the crime of beating someone without any reason?"
Jue Tianniu looked upright and said in a deep voice: "According to the law, those who speak disrespectfully can be beaten but not killed."
"Huh?"
Laughing Kuangjiao looked stunned, sat there for a few breaths, then quickly got up and said: "You broke the law, you got a beating in vain."
As he spoke, he staggered towards the outside.
Lu Tongtong: "Laughing madly, Master Xiaoshan is a **** of the country and cannot be insulted lightly. This kind of thing will not happen again!"
Laughing Kuangjiao ignored him and walked out of the hall.
"Master of the Palace, please step aside."
"Yes."
Jue Tianniu turned around, let out a breath of relief, and quickly left the place.
Lu Tong walked next to Xiao Longting.
Xiao Longting looked unhappy and said in a low voice: "Lord, I..."
The owner of the building, the title he used when he was in Liangyao Tower.
Lu Tong waved his hand and said: "I know that the Laughing Crazy Jiao has no one in his sight and should be severely punished, but this person cannot move."
"Why?"
Lu Tong sighed.
You can’t be punished, of course because you did it right. There were some things that he couldn't easily say, and even the people around him couldn't say them directly. Laughing Kuangjiao's seemingly scoundrel reveal was the best thing to do.
The self-interest occupied by Xiao Longting is one of them.
Zhanghoushan has too much power, monopolizing most of the coolie trades in the country, driving up wages and taking root, so he must exercise restraint.
He looked at the palace door and said: "The affairs of the country involve more than just fighting. We are good at protecting the country, but not good at governing it. Do you understand?"
Xiao Longting slowly lowered his head.
Lu Tong patted his shoulder and said: "Go back, cultivation is important. After you reach Consummation, I will help you break the baby."
"The Lord..."
"Go ahead, Liangyao Zhengguo needs a few Yuanying immortals."
"Yes!"
