Chapter 106, the ends of the earth
After making up his mind, Wu Jixing went to find the contact person who stayed in Wanjiao area of Qionglou Sect.
As a gang that usually operates in Guangling area of Yangzhou, Qionghua Pavilion naturally has no way to go in the South China Sea. So they had to find a master to stay in Wanjiao to help them contact various forces, exchange intelligence and communicate relationships.
This master is a true disciple of the Qionglou Sect. In terms of seniority, he is Wu Jixing's master, or his aunt, named Sun Qiongyu.
"Xingqiong met with his master. During this period, I'm sorry to ask my master to run around and collect information. Thank you so much!"
The Qionglou Sect master, who looked half-white and looked quite old, smiled and said, "I feel a little ashamed of what you said. Southerners often say, 'There are three hardships in the world: raising a boat, storing iron, and grinding tofu'. You are sailing on the sea, blowing the sun every day, and facing the dangers of sea beasts, monsters, and strong winds and waves from time to time. You have not claimed to be hard work, what do I have to do?"
Wu Jixing laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The disciples of Qionglou Sect are divided into two levels: outer sect and true teaching. The outer sect disciples do not need to change their names, but the inner sect disciples will add the character "Qiong" to their names. Generally speaking, the character "Qiong" is in front, and the next generation is the character "Qiong" is in the back, and the character "Qiong" is in the back, and alternate in turn.
For example, this uncle is the tenth generation disciple of the Qionglou Sect, whose original name is Sun Guanyu. So in the internal name of the Qionglou Sect, she is Sun Qiongyu. Wu Jixing is one generation lower than her, and the word "Qiong" is the last one of the names, but Wu Jixing does not like the inexplicable name "Jiqiong", so the name in the sect that was originally decided was "Xingqiong".
Given the situation of the Qionglou Sect in front of you, if nothing unexpected happens, the next person to become a true disciple should be Wu Cuigu, and she will probably become "Wu Cuiqiong" by then.
Although the Qionglou School was once glorious, it is now in decline. There are only three or five true disciples, one of the ninth generation, who is old and weak. He is currently in charge of the Sutra Library and is sorting out his life experience and writing notes for future generations. The three of the tenth generation are the storefront of the Qionglou School.
These three are called "Qionglou Sanying" and are all famous innate masters in Yangzhou.
Sun Qiongyu is the leader of the three heroes of Qionglou. He cultivated himself in his early forties. He is now over 100 years old and has been famous for more than 60 years. For the innate master, it is almost at the end of his "mainday life".
She was seriously injured and damaged her foundation. After so many years of cultivation, she had only barely recovered her injuries, but the "physical disparity" among the four innate differences has never been able to be cultivated and has not been able to achieve perfection.
Now, as an elder of the Qionglou Sect, she is basically doing what she does on behalf of the Qionglou Sect.
After all, the other two of Qionglou Sanying still have hope of becoming a real person, so unless something really happens, no one will disturb their cultivation.
This time, Qionghua Pavilion went to the South China Sea to experience and get lucky, and there was no intention to bother the elders. However, after Sun Qiongyu received the news, he offered to help, so Wu Jixing naturally couldn't refuse.
After thinking about it, she finally decided to ask this master to stay in Wanjiao City to help collect information.
My master is over 100 years old and still goes out to sea with a group of young people. It is so unreasonable that he can't eat well or sleep well!
Sun Qiongyu naturally understood that Xingqiong was taking care of herself. She did not mean that ordinary people mean "not accepting old age". However, when collecting information, she became more and more serious. She often got a message and found a way to confirm it in order to confirm it.
The two talked for about an hour, roughly understood the situation in the South China Sea during this period, and then discussed what to do next.
"According to information from all parties, the last clue that the snake demon was discovered was in a port called "Mengshu" to the west. Some people speculated that it had landed on the land and was heading to Jingzhou. However, the people from Ziyun Palace said that the demon kings along the way did not find a big monster passing by... Although Ziyun Palace has always been arrogant and domineering, it should not be a lie in such matters. So I think you can go to Mengshu Port to look for it next."
Wu Jixing nodded: "What my master said is reasonable, but now... there are already many people going to Mangrove Harbor, right?"
"It's indeed quite a lot. This news came almost ten days ago."
"Then it may be too late for us to go there now," said Wu Jixing. "I think it's better to wait a little longer than rushing the road. If nothing unexpected happens, new news should have come these days."
Sun Qiongyu was slightly stunned: "New news?"
"That's right. The snake demon is very cunning. He left his hometown alone, but has not been caught for so long. It can be seen that he has extraordinary methods. Do you believe that such a powerful character will be easily found, and the clues are spread everywhere?"
Sun Qiongyu shook his head: "To be honest, I don't believe it very much. So after I got the news, I confirmed it through several channels, and finally confirmed that it was true that there was a trace of a snake demon of at least the innate realm near Mangshu Harbor."
"The snake demon in the innate realm and the big demon in the realm are different from the one close to the realm." Wu Jixing said, "I think the news this time may be that the snake demon is setting up a suspicion array."
"...But even if the suspicion array is set up, where can it go? From the South China Sea to Jingzhou, there are mostly poor mountains and rivers, deep mountains and dense forests. Not only are there many demon kings, but there are even several demon gods. These monsters have had more than once conflicts with the South China Sea demon clan, and they are extremely xenophobic and will never allow it to borrow from now on."
Wu Jixing said: "I think its goal may not be to go to Jingzhou. Instead, it will turn from the South China Sea, go to Yunzhou or Yangzhou, or even... to Tianzhu."
Sun Qiongyu thought for a while and said, "There is no possibility of going to Yunzhou or Tianzhu. The witchcraft and witchcraft on both sides are popular, and they are quite unique in dealing with snakes and insects. Even if it is strong and does not understand the local methods, it may be hit. Since it is very cunning, it will not go to these places that are too dangerous for itself."
"In other words, Master, do you think it will go to Yangzhou?"
Sun Qiongyu nodded: "If your judgment is correct and it really does not plan to go to Jingzhou, then its goal may be Yangzhou. And if this is the premise analysis, the clues on the Mangrove Port this time may be that it is luring the masters of Daxia to the west so that it can facilitate its own way to the east."
Wu Jixing laughed: "If I can't get more news next, I'll set out in three days and head to the eastern Cape City. It is the capital of the South China Sea and the news is more informative. If the snake demon will reveal his strength, it's easiest to get news in Cape City."
"Then I'll go to Haijiao City, too." Sun Qiongyu said, "It's just... there is a real master from the imperial court in Haijiao City, which is completely different from the situation here. Be more careful when you act there!"
She seemed a little worried - the court was not friendly to Green Forest, especially after the Dragon Boat Festival chaos last year, the court even disliked Green Forest.
Although Qionghua Pavilion is relatively in accordance with the rules in the green forest, and its main business can also be regarded as "abiding by laws and regulations" - at least taxes are paid every year, no matter what, the green forest is a green forest.
If possible, she really doesn't want Qionghua Pavilion to go to Haijiao City.
"It is precisely because there are masters from the court in Haijiao City that the snake demon is more likely to hide there." Wu Jixing analyzed, "Everyone knows that the court does not like Green Forest now. Unless the Green Forest masters are in their own place, they generally try to avoid the court masters. So for the snake demon, isn't Haijiao City relatively safe?"
Sun Qiongyu nodded repeatedly... This time, she was really completely convinced.
Pan Long was in the sky, watching Wu Jixing visit Sun Qiongyu and leave, but nodded slightly, but had no intention of going down to meet her.
This time, the real masters of all forces reached a tacit understanding, and everyone was secretly guarding them. Unless they encountered a last resort, they would never take action and control the battle to the innate level as much as possible.
Innate level battles, even if they are fought fiercely, the death and injury of hundreds of people is almost the limit. But if the real master takes action, even if it is just the aftermath of the battle, it can easily kill hundreds of people. If two masters who are united in nature fight with all their might, the aftermath of the battle destroys the city and sets up an earthquake and tsunami, it is not surprising at all.
Not to mention the distance, last year, Pan Long confronted three senior real people including the ancestor of the Cang family over Nanxia City. In order to defeat the enemy, he sacrificed his magic weapon "Golden Crow Lihuo Banner". If he hadn't deflected the attack at the critical moment, Chen Yan was secretly watching. If the pillar of fire hit the ground, in just one moment, half of Nanxia City would turn into a sea of fire. Even one hundred people who could survive in the flame range might not be one hundred.
Therefore, real masters generally try to fight in the wilderness as much as possible, or go to high altitudes to fight.
And this South China Sea... although many sea areas seem to be deserted, in fact, if a master like Pan Long fights with all his strength, it will easily cause huge waves and turn into tsunamis to sweep around.
Then God knows how many innocent people will be affected!
Therefore, Pan Long is very supportive of the unwritten agreement that "the real master will not come forward".
Everyone is taking care of him in secret, and he is taking care of him in secret.
After three days, news came that the snake demon appeared further west, but it seemed that he was heading towards Yunzhou.
All the people rushed to the west, but Wu Jixing took Qionghua Pavilion and his party to sail eastward toward the Cape City.
The boat sailed quickly on the sea. Just two days later, everyone in Qionghua Pavilion arrived at Cape City.
This city is located at the end of Jingnan Avenue and is the most important city in the South China Sea. The city is surrounded by farmland, and nearly one-third of the entire South China Sea produces grain every year, and is supplied to various parts of the South China Sea. In addition to the various other materials transported along Jingnan Avenue, it is no exaggeration to say that the Cape City is the absolute core of the area ruled by the South China Sea Daxia!
There are more than ten ports of all sizes here, which can accommodate thousands of ships to moor and supply. It is said that the court also plans to further expand this city, using it as a general base for continued expansion into the South China Sea.
There is another saying that the court intends to add two states outside the Jiuzhou, one is the "Liangzhou" in the northwest, which is commonly known as the northern land; the other is the "Jiaozhou" in the south, which is commonly known as the South China Sea.
The capital of Liangzhou is still uncertain. The biggest possibility is to choose one of the important towns on the Jincheng defense line as the capital to facilitate the continued expansion of territory. The capital of Jiaozhou, if nothing unexpected happens, is Haijiao City.
These news are not secret. It can even be said that the news that "Kao Cape City will become the capital of Jiaozhou" in the South China Sea is almost well known.
Therefore, the residents of Cape City are usually a little proud - after all, they are the capital, and when people in the city see the country people, they naturally feel that they are superior.
Not to mention that the Jiuzhou World is still in a feudal society, where there are real highs and lows between people. Even if Pan Long had realized the Great Federation of the Solar System in his previous life, there is no need to avoid regional discrimination and racial discrimination in the past.
A typical example is that the residents of the earth generally look down on the interstellar residents and think that those are all rural people.
Among the residents of the earth, those who live in traditional metropolis look down on those who live in small and medium-sized cities and think that the other party is a countryman.
As for the residents of metropolitan cities, there is naturally regional discrimination... It sounds very complicated, roughly "You are worthy of being called Rome" or "My ancestors planted rice and painted pottery 10,000 years ago, and your ancestors were still on trees at that time" and so on...
But for the Qionghua Pavilion, a famous city in Yangzhou, Yangzhou, the residents of Haijiao City cannot stand the airs of the city people.
If you want to show off in front of Guangling people, only Shendu people have the confidence. Even the "Gyeonggi people" in the four acropolises in the southeast, west and northwest are slightly less confident.
But do God have ordinary residents?
It seems that there is no...
Wu Jixing took his men off the boat and first went to the court's "Sea Ship Management Department" to report - in theory, at any port in the South China Sea, ships must be reported after being moored, but in fact, the Green Forest people do not have the rule of this, that is, there is a real master of the court in Haijiao City, so they have to bow their heads.
The court officials who were responsible for managing the maritime ships also disliked these Green Forest people.
The thin official delayed for a long time before completing the procedures for Qionghua Pavilion. What made people most angry was that when Ding Laoheng secretly gave him a silver note, he couldn't even read it, so he threw the silver note on the ground and said coldly: "Take it back! Someone has a sore on his hands and can't get the blood-stained money!"
