The world started from mixing in the courtyard

Chapter 271 Perfection
The history of salt drying in Qinghai Lake began in the Qing Dynasty.

Although he didn't know why it started only now, Yue Buqun still decided to go over and give it a try.

After Yue Buqun and his group arrived at Qinghai Lake, they immediately got busy.

Yue Buqun is busy.

For Ning Zhongze and his friends who lived deep inland, it was the first time to see such a vast body of water, so they naturally had a lot of fun. It was also the first time for them to see such salty water, so they were also extremely happy.

Yue Buqun was killing two birds with one stone by generating income for his Ningguo while traveling with his wife and children.

This day, early in the morning.

Yue Xiuquan ran out of the tent and shouted, "Dad, I want to go on a boat!"

Yue Buqun slept in Pei Xiuzhi's tent last night. Hearing the noise outside, he shook his head helplessly: "I'll play with the kids first, you can sleep for a while."

Pei Xiuzhi glanced at Yue Buqun with resentment, curled her lips and said: "I couldn't go out anyway, it's all your fault. I can't even leave the tent today!"

Yue Buqun smiled with satisfaction, put on his clothes, walked out of the tent, picked up Yue Xiuquan, and walked towards the lake.

Hou Fangzhi came over and said with a look of joy: "Master, it seems that salt has appeared!"

Yue Buqun was stunned and did not even bother to take Yue Xiuquan for a boat ride. This kid loved boat rides very much, just like modern kids who like to be carried and cry when they stop.

However, he couldn't care less now.

Immediately rushed to the newly developed salt field.

This time, Yue Buqun brought not only hundreds of slaves, but also civilian workers and a battalion of soldiers.

These people have been helping to develop the salt fields and dry salt these days.

Seeing a layer of white coarse salt, Yue Buqun's eyes lit up. He quickly squatted down and dug some with his hands. He wanted to eat it himself, but Yue Xiuquan kept crying, "I want to take a boat, I want to take a boat..."

It's like there's a tape recorder inside my mouth.

"Candy, eat the candy quickly!" Yue Buqun stretched out his finger.

Yue Xiuquan was so young, and it was impossible for him to doubt his father, so naturally he opened his mouth with tears in his eyes and held Yue Buqun's finger. Then his little face wrinkled, his eyes stared, and he kept making "Pooh, Pooh, Pooh" sounds, and his mouth cried like an emoticon.

Yue Buqun laughed loudly, then he scooped a little more and put it into his mouth. It was indeed very salty.

"well!"

"This place will be one of the sources of income for Taiyue City from now on!"

"Notify Senior Brother Du and his men right away and have the soldiers from the three battalions come over!"

Yue Buqun was overjoyed.

In ancient times, there was almost no commodity with higher profits than salt.

However, he was also a little worried whether his small Ningguo could defend such a large salt field alone.

Now the entire Qinghai Lake belongs to Ningguo.

That being said, once the salt field was mined, could the Ming court, Turpan which was in the midst of internal strife, or Tubo which had become a vassal of the Ming court, endure it?
Thinking of this, Yue Buqun felt that he needed to strengthen the forces here.

a few days later.

Wen Keding even came in person to see the salt field with his own eyes.

After all, a large part of the Sun and Moon Sect's income came from smuggling salt, and he knew very well the profits from it.

After some discussion, Wen Keding would send a group of people over from the northern border, and Yue Buqun decided to send another group of experts over after returning to Huashan.

It is imperative to ensure Ningguo's control over the Qinghai Lake Salt Field.

A few more days.

Everything is arranged properly.

Yue Buqun could finally continue his journey back.

This day.

Yue Buqun arrived outside the gate of Kongtong Mountain.

A disciple of Kongtong Sect looked at Yue Buqun with complicated eyes.

Ever since Yue Buqun left Kongtong Sect last time, Kongtong Sect has gone crazy, and the entire sect has fallen into a crazy internal struggle.

Anyone who does not practice hard will be severely punished.

Although no one said why openly, everyone knew that this was to deal with Yue Buqun.

The disciples guarding the gate did not dare to chase Yue Buqun away. One of them hurried to report, and another took Yue Buqun into the mountain gate.

Arrived at the main hall of Kongtong Sect.

I saw the five elders of the new generation of Kongtong sitting opposite each other. In addition to the familiar face Hu Weixing, there was also a familiar face Qi Yanwu.

All five people walked down from the main seats.

Hu Weixing took the lead, bowed and said with a smile: "Brother Yue, you traveled west to spread the Dharma and returned after many years. I really admire you! How is the customs outside the region? I heard that there was internal strife and endless war in Turpan. Has Brother Yue been affected?"

Yue Buqun came in alone, without Ning Zhongze and the others. He was accompanied by only Lao Denuo. He bowed and smiled, "You have different styles. I am a warrior and a priest. How could I be affected by the chaos of war?"

Hu Weixing smiled and said, "Please sit down!"

Yue Buqun sat down, glanced at Hu Weixing and others who had sat down again, and suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked at Qi Yanwu, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Qi's martial arts have improved, congratulations!"

Qi Yanwu's face froze. Although Yue Buqun gave him face and did not say anything about his promotion to one of the Five Elders being something to be celebrated, in his heart, what difference did it make?
Why was he promoted to one of the Five Elders?
Because Xie Zongquan and the other two are dead!
"No matter how hard I try, I'm afraid I'll still be no match for Brother Yue!" Qi Yanwu said as his face became excited, his breathing became rapid, and he stared at Yue Buqun.

Other disciples of Kongtong Sect have already come to the outside of the hall.

After all, they have been practicing diligently for so long and they really want to test the effect of their improvement.

The new generation of the Five Elders of Kongtong also stared at Yue Buqun with hesitant expressions.

Yue Buqun smiled slightly and said: "Since your martial arts have improved, how about a sparring match?"

Qi Yanwu stood up immediately: "That couldn't be better!" After a pause, he looked at the others: "That's good too!"

Hu Weixing's expression was complicated and conflicted, but he did not object.

He wanted to try it too.

The Kongtong disciples outside the door were making even more noise.

Yue Buqun turned a deaf ear to it, which means that the Kongtong Sect is still within the Ming court and cannot be arbitrarily dealt with like Kunlun, because it is useless. Even if it is dealt with, it cannot be used for one's own purposes.

There was nothing Kunlun could do. They were in a foreign land, unable to find help and had nowhere to go.

It's completely rootless.

Kongtong is different. This is already Han territory and there are some small sects and small families. Moreover, they may hide in the crowd and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

Unless Gandhi is controlled, the Kongtong Sect will have nowhere to hide.

“Since you all have agreed, I will just do it!” Yue Buqun said, standing up, with one hand behind his back and the other hand stretched out, just short of saying, “Come here.”

This weird posture naturally made Hu Weixing, Qi Yanwu and others look even uglier.

Yue Buqun's posture of inviting a fight was so weird, it must be to humiliate them!

Whoosh!
Qi Yanwu was the first one who couldn't help but shouted, "Brother Yue, please teach me!" As he spoke, a long sword as sharp as the wind flew straight towards Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun stretched out two fingers, and suddenly stretched them out, immediately clamping the sword tip that was coming straight at him.

Qi Yanwu's face froze, and he naturally exerted more force.

Bang!
Yue Buqun turned his two fingers, and the iron sword broke. He took a step forward and struck out with his palm, landing on Qi Yanwu's chest and abdomen.

Qi Yanwu only saw Yue Buqun's movements, but had no time to react. When he reacted, he let out a loud "Ah", and his body flew backwards uncontrollably.

With a plop, Qi Yanwu actually sat down in his seat.

This scene completely stunned the entire Kongtong Sect.

Even Laudno is no exception.

They could have expected that Yue Buqun could break the sword blade with just two fingers, but they were really shocked when he slapped Qi Yanwu back to his seat with just one palm!

Yue Buqun's use of internal energy has reached this level?

As easy as moving one's arm, naturally?
Qi Yanwu, in particular, sat in his seat blankly, staring at Yue Buqun, his whole body trembling slightly.

The power was neither impetuous nor aggressive, but long-lasting and endless, like a gust of wind.

Such an attainment in inner strength made Qi Yanwu feel desperate.

But he didn't dare to slack off for even a minute after Yue Buqun left.

Who would have thought that the gap between him and Yue Buqun would be even bigger after today's battle?!
Hu Weixing knew that revenge was hopeless when he saw Qi Yanwu's appearance. He sighed in his heart, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Yue is indeed a genius. He can keep up his martial arts skills while preaching. I admire him!"

"Junior Brother Qi Yanwu and we are both equally skilled in martial arts. He is no match for you, and we are naturally no match for you either. There is no need for us to compete!"

The words fell.

The entire hall, inside and outside, fell into deathly silence in an instant.

Such discouraging words are really depressing.

Even the five elders of Kongtong, except Hu Weixing and Qi Yanwu, had dejected faces and sad hearts.

Not to mention the disciples outside the door, each of them had a hideous look on their face and seemed to be crying without tears!
How could this be?
Logically speaking, Yue Buqun's martial arts should have progressed slowly!

After all, they have to travel, preach, and deal with all kinds of troubles that may arise. With all these things added up, their progress is definitely not as fast as when they are in the sect, where they spend their days eating, sleeping, and practicing martial arts!
But this is not the case. Compared with the last time, Yue Buqun seems to have improved even more.

Yue Buqun was also very satisfied with the current state of Kongtong Sect.

Although as a decent person, he was restricted in what he did, but it did not prevent him from preparing to crush the Kongtong Sect's people once or twice.

When the time is right, the Kongtong Sect will definitely surrender.

“Well, since Brother Hu said so, let’s not compete!” Yue Buqun smiled and sat down again.

Start talking about some random things.

After a while.

Yue Buqun stood up and said goodbye.

Hu Weixing and others sent them to the foot of the mountain.

Yue Buqun and his group left.

Hu Weixing and the others looked at Yue Buqun's back, their faces immediately fell, and they were all filled with grief, anger and despair.

"Is it true that there is no one in our Kongtong Sect who can be compared to Yue Buqun?"

"Are we just going to watch Yue Buqun show off his might in front of us and do nothing about it?"

"Now that things have come to this, should we continue to practice martial arts?"

……

The questions raised by some disciples made Hu Weixing, Qi Yanwu and other five elders of Kongtong extremely ashamed.

But they don't know how to deal with it.

With a long sigh, Hu Weixing returned on his own.

The others were silent for a while, then followed in twos and threes.

Qi Yanwu stared at the east, his eyes as sharp as knives.

The closer you get to Guanzhong.

Yue Buqun discovered that the Taiyue Sect had more and more believers and priests.

What made Yue Buqun even happier was that without him notifying the Huashan authorities, they had already opened Taiyue Temples at the foot of Kongtong Mountain, and in all the counties along the way.

From here on, Yue Buqun and his companions no longer had to stay in the inn, but instead lived in the Taiyue Temple.

And wherever they go, Yue Buqun and his companions would have a good chat with people and help answer their questions and resolve their doubts.

Finally, on the Dragon Boat Festival, Yue Buqun and his companions arrived in Fengxiang.

However, Yue Buqun remembered another thing, that is, on the Dragon Boat Festival, Dongfang Sheng would launch a surprise attack and overthrow Ren Woxing!

"Brother, give me some rice dumplings!" Ning Zhongze took a rice dumpling and stuffed it in front of Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun is in a good mood. He plans to go to Heimu Cliff to join in the fun on this time next year.

Holding the rice dumpling and dipping it in a little honey, Yue Buqun ate it happily.

Blackwood Cliff.

Today is a big day for the Sun Moon Sect, not because of the Dragon Boat Festival, but because today Ren Woxing will bestow the annual antidote to the Three Corpses Brain Pill.

Many bigwigs from the vassal forces of the Sun and Moon Sect came to the mountain.

Moreover, each of them is very well-behaved.

There was a grand banquet in the main hall.

In addition to Ren Woxing, Dongfang Sheng, and Xiang Wentian, there are also many elders such as Tong Baixiong and Bao Dachu, as well as the leader of Baiyaomen Zhu Mou, the leader of Wuxian Sect Lan Wuzhi, and so on.

"Someone, come and give me the medicine!" Ren Woxing waved his hand, and the waiter beside him immediately picked up the pills and distributed them one by one.

"Thank you, Master!"

"The leader is kind and benevolent!"

……

Many people who had taken the Three Corpses Brain Pill knelt on the ground.

Ren Woxing had not found a way to fuse multiple kinds of true qi, so he was in a bad mood. But when he saw so many people kneeling to him, he felt a little better. "We are all brothers, there is no need to do this!"

"Everyone get up!"

Everyone stood up, hurried back to their seats, picked up the antidote, and swallowed it.

Ren Woxing glanced at everyone and suddenly laughed, "Lan Wuzhi!"

"I'm here!" Lan Wuzhi quickly stood up.

Ren Woxing waved his hand and said, "I heard that your daughter is only a few years older than Yingying. When will you let her come to Blackwood Cliff? Yingying is all alone here, and she doesn't have any friends to play with!"

Lan Wuzhi said quickly: "Thank you for your favor, Master. It would be a blessing for the young lady if my daughter Lan Fenghuang could accompany her!"

Ren Woxing laughed loudly. He was laughing when he suddenly heard Ren Yingying muttering one, two, three, four, five, six non-stop. Ren Woxing frowned for a moment and said, "Who do you think you are?"

Ren Yingying smiled and said, "Nothing, just counting numbers for fun."

Ren Woxing didn't take it seriously.

But Dongfang Sheng, who was sitting next to him, had a cold look in his eyes for a moment. Would this girl find out something based on the number of people? Just as he was thinking, Ren Woxing's voice sounded again: "Brother Dongfang, you have been rectifying the Black Wood Cliff. Are you ready? When will you attack those hypocrites? Especially the Huashan Sect!"

"Especially that hypocrite who plays tricks on others!"

Dongfang Sheng quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Master, this subordinate..."

"Sit down and talk! We are all brothers in the sect. Why are you becoming more and more pretentious, just like that hypocrite Yue Buqun!" Ren Woxing said unhappily.

Dongfang Sheng smiled and sat down, saying respectfully, "There is no problem with Blackwood Cliff. As for attacking the so-called righteous path, we can do it at any time. However, the thief Yue is not in Huashan, and the leader's magic power is only a little short of perfection. I think it is not perfect to attack like this!"

"The leader's divine power is perfect, and with one thunder strike, he killed the thief Yue. This is perfect!"
