Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The next day, the two came to the majestic attic. Zhang Julai was listening to the music of silk and bamboo as usual, shaking his head with a wine glass.

After the song ended, he waved his hand, and the maids filed away.

The elegant man hurried forward and bowed his head: "Junior Xu Zhijie has met senior Zhang."

"Yes." Zhang Julai nodded: "Sit down!"

Xu Zhijie pulled out a wooden box, handed it to Zhang Julai with both hands and said, "The head of our sect asked me to say hello to Senior Zhang. It's just a small thing and not a sign of respect. I would like to thank Senior Zhang for taking care of our sect all the time. I hope Senior will not refuse."

Zhang Julai took it and opened it and took a look, but saw a colorful fruit blooming inside: "Five-Colored Fruit, with your Xingang's cultivation resources, it is rare to be able to get this, so thank you for me." Take charge!”

After Xu Zhijie sat down, he said, "I heard that Xingang Xuanmen came to your Chamber of Commerce a month ago. I must have seen it before. What do you think of it?"

Zhang Julai smiled and said: "Fellow Zhou Xuanyong of Shuiyun Sect has an old relationship with me in the early years. This time he came to visit and spoke specifically about spiritual beasts, which can be said to be very sincere. This is because he has previously handed over the breeding quota of Xingang You are still hesitant about this, so I’ll think twice about this matter. But don’t worry, fellow Taoist, our business is not done in a righteous way, there will still be opportunities for cooperation in the future.”

After hearing what he said, Xu Zhijie seemed to have the intention of kicking the Crescent Gate open, and hurriedly said: "Please forgive me for speaking so bluntly, senior. If senior agrees to Xuanmen and betrays our sect, this can be called unbelief, unwise, and unjust. An unknown act. The younger generation steals from the elders.”

Zhang Julai said: "What Taoist Xu said is serious! We are businessmen, and it is natural for businessmen to pursue profits. We are just changing partners. How can we not be trustworthy, unwise, unjust, and unclear?"

Xu Zhijie said: "Please listen to me, junior. Your Chamber of Commerce made an agreement with our sect, but now you want to break the agreement. Do you believe it?"

"Your Chamber of Commerce is well-known on the Qinghai Islands. It has always shown itself to others with integrity and keeping its promises. Now it has fallen into disrepute for the sake of petty gains, breaking promises and breaking contracts. Who will dare to trust your Chamber of Commerce in the future? This is like killing someone to block it. Can the hope of the world be called wisdom?”

"Since our sect has cooperated with your Chamber of Commerce, we have kept our promises and made promises for decades and have never violated them in the slightest. But your Chamber of Commerce wants to abandon our sect as if it were a broken shoe. Is this righteous?"

"The war in the north is raging now, and Xuanmen has been defeated frequently. They have retreated to the southeast corner to fight against the trapped beasts. The defeat is a foregone conclusion. One day when the Demon Sect regains Mubei, the army will march southward, like Mount Tai pressing down on the top."

"Senior, please think about it, can the Xuanmen on the Qinghai Islands compete with them with their strength? Your Chamber of Commerce has abandoned the Demon Sect and turned to the Xuanmen at this time. Isn't it clear that you don't know the general trend of the world?"

"It seems that your business will abandon our sect and choose Xuanmen. Isn't this an act of unbelief, unwiseness, unrighteousness, and ignorance?"

Zhang Julai clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist can speak eloquently. Fellow Taoist from the Crescent Sect who comes here can be said to know people."

"But what the Chamber of Commerce pays most attention to is the word profit. As for the unbelief and unrighteousness that fellow Taoist said, I'm afraid I have overstated it. Although the Chamber of Commerce signed a contract with the Crescent Sect, it will compensate accordingly according to the contract and everything will be in accordance with the rules. What is unbelief and unrighteousness in doing things?”

"The chamber of commerce will maximize profits and the one with the highest price will get it. What is unwise?"

"Although Xuanmen was slightly defeated in Mubei, the situation in the world is so turbulent that no one can predict it. Moreover, Taixuanmen has not taken action behind Qingzhou. Is it the Demon Sect that is unstoppable or the Xuanmen is superior? No one can predict it now. If you can’t tell, what is unknown?”

Xu Zhijie said: "Senior, I understand this. As long as the price offered by our sect is no lower than Xuanmen, your Chamber of Commerce will still choose to cooperate with us. Can I understand this?"

Zhang Julai said: "Of course, any business has its own rules, that is, the one with the highest price wins. If the price offered by Xinyue Gate is not lower than that of Xingang Xuanmen, why do we still spend so much effort? ?”

Xu Zhijie said: "Senior, please state clearly, how much price did Xuanmen give?"

Zhang Julai said: "The conditions they offered are 60% profit."

Xu Zhijie frowned: "I can't make the decision on this matter without authorization. I need to report it to the head of our sect."

Zhang Julai said: "It doesn't matter. I have made an agreement with the people of Xingang Xuanmen to give them a definite answer after they return from other islands. You just need to give me an answer before they do.

"Thank you, senior, for telling me, and I will say goodbye, junior." Xu Zhijie said, got up and left the attic, turning into light and leaving.

Jia Wenxun looked at his walking back and asked: "If New Moon Sect is unwilling to increase the price, do we really have to abandon them and cooperate with Xingang Xuanmen? I think what this person just said is reasonable."

Zhang Ju glanced at him, smiled slightly and said: "What, you can't bear to part with it? This New Moon Sect has given you a lot of benefits in private, right? Don't worry, no matter who you cooperate with, the benefits are indispensable for you. As long as it is profitable, whoever you cooperate with what is the relationship?"

………………

The Aurora Boat traveled in the blue sea and sky for four or five months and arrived at a round island. This was everyone's third stop, Tianfu Island.

The overall area of ​​this island is similar to that of Huangyi Island, but Huangyi is long and narrow from north to south, like two ovals intertwined, while Tianfu Island is a large circle.

The endless ocean gradually disappeared from everyone's eyes, and everything within sight was green.

The Aurora Boat traveled over the island for seven or eight days before arriving in front of a majestic and vast city wall.

Similar to the city outline of the Yaxing Chamber of Commerce on Kongming Island, the four walls surrounded the area hundreds of miles around.

Each city wall stretches for hundreds of miles, is majestic and majestic, and is thousands of feet high. There is a huge light curtain covering the interior of the castle, so the scene inside is unreal.

There are guards with armor and crossbows on the city wall. Every thirty miles, there is a huge black cannon standing on the top of the city. It is about a hundred feet long and has a muzzle ten feet wide. The entire cannon's brilliance circulates and sparkles in the sunlight.

Under the city wall, there are seven or eight entrances, each of which is guarded by armored men holding crossbows.

Everyone got off the dharma boat, came to the entrance of the city, and lined up to file in.

In the city, two golden eyeballs, one on the left and one on the right, were suspended in mid-air, and two red lights emitted from the eyes swept over everyone.

This was the second time that everyone had seen this thing, and they couldn't help but be a little curious. Xie Lang asked: "Uncle Master, what exactly is this thing? I saw this thing last time at the Yaxing Chamber of Commerce. What's the mystery?"

Peng Wanli said: "This is the eye of the world of spiritual weapons. As long as it passes around it and appears within its field of vision, every move will be recorded by it."

"Many chambers of commerce and sects have this object inside. In the interior of Qingzhou, this object can be seen everywhere. There are two Eyes of Heaven and Earth at each entrance of the city. Once there is a change inside, as long as the formation is Pass, activate the Eye of Heaven and Earth to check, and you will be able to find the thief immediately."

"Because when entering, everyone's physical appearance is recorded, and you can know it through comparison. This eye of heaven and earth can also see through disguise and concealment, and no disguise can be hidden in front of it."

Xie Lang continued to ask: "What is the combat effectiveness of this object? What level of spiritual weapon does it belong to?"

Peng Wanli said: "This is an auxiliary spiritual weapon. It has no combat effectiveness. It is mainly used to see through disguise, sneak and monitor. It is a fourth-level spiritual weapon."

Xie Lang said: "Since it has no fighting capacity, wouldn't it be enough for those who deliberately destroy it to destroy it?"

Peng Wanli said: "As long as it is swept by its red light, it will be automatically recorded and stored in its matching special spiritual device, where you can view all the images recorded by the Eye of Heaven and Earth. So there is no use destroying it. "

Xie Lang nodded and said: "That's it, it's really a good thing. We have never seen anything like this in Xingang."

Peng Wanli said: "These things are all in a complete set. One or two pieces alone are useless. The whole set is very expensive, almost worth the price of the magnetic element cannon. Only powerful and financially powerful forces will buy it." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard this. The value of this small golden eyeball was actually comparable to that of the magnetic element cannon. The magnetic element cannon was a spiritual weapon that even the Yuanying monks were extremely afraid of.

This is too exaggerated. It is just a gadget used for recording and monitoring, and its value is so high. Only the big sects and the big chamber of commerce and other extremely wealthy forces would purchase these things. Xingang Shangxuanmen would never even think about it.

Everyone came to Yuanming Inn and went to their rooms to rest.

At night, a beautiful woman with a beautiful face came to the room of three people and said: "Master Qin invites three seniors to come over and have a talk."

Zhou Xuanyong took out a storage bag and handed it to the woman: "Fellow Taoist, please lead us there."

The woman took the storage bag and said, "Please, three seniors."

Several people left the inn, turned into light, and came to a towering cave house.

The woman said goodbye, turned and left.

Peng Wanli waved his hand and handed the talisman into the cave. Not long after, a ray of light shot out, revealing the figure of a tall and tall man. He glanced at several people and said, "Master, please come in, three of you."

The three of them followed him into the inner room. Inside the cave, there are many streets, pavilions, pavilions, gardens and pavilions that are pleasing to the eye. There are also elk roaming around and cranes dancing. The artistic conception is quite elegant.

The man led him to a hall and said to the three of them: "Seniors, please wait a moment. The master will be here soon."

After saying that, he turned around and left, with drinks and other items brought by several maids. The three of them were tasting wine and waiting.

About a stick of incense later, a man with a fat head and big ears walked in from outside.

The three of them stood up and bowed their heads: "Fellow Daoist Qin, I'm not going to be surprised if we take the liberty of disturbing you."

The man walked to the main seat, sat down, and said with a smile: "You three fellow Taoists, no need to be polite, please take a seat!"

The three of them sat down as instructed.

Peng Wanli said: "We came from Xingang and know that your Chamber of Commerce breeds many spiritual beasts. I hope fellow Taoists can sell some to us."

The obese man said: "Although our chamber of commerce breeds some spiritual beasts, the quota has been allocated. Decades ago, the Demon Sect of Xingang came to me, and there was nothing I could do."

The three people couldn't help but be disappointed when they heard this.

The fat man smiled: "However, you are lucky this time, so it's not like you have no chance at all."

When the three of them heard this, they were shocked. Zhou Xuanyong said, "Please give me some advice from fellow Taoist."
