Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 655: 6th Hall

Purple clouds linger in the sky.

Wisps of very rare purple thin clouds turned into human shapes and moved around the country.

Lu Tong stood at the entrance of the cave, looking up at the sky.

Dian Si'er walked out of the cave and said: "Master, all the credentials have been sent out. Feng, Shu, Su Jin, Zang, etc. are all intact. It will be delivered within a month at the earliest."

"Okay."

Lu Tong nodded and said: "Purple clouds cover the sky. This is the ancestor's method. The Young Fox Kingdom does not dare to attack before becoming the leader of the country. Let Wang Qiu and Bai Qiao come back."

"But if Bai Qiao comes back, there will be another problem."

"What?"

"The Bu family occupies Mimu Huokou, where should they place Bai Qiao and Baorong? Baorong has said several times that the place has abundant spiritual energy and sweet water, making it suitable for developing medicinal fields."

Lu Tong understood the meaning and said directly without hesitation: "Give her, we will find another place."

"How about we move to Liandao Mountain? There are seven hills in total, which can accommodate us and the Jue family, and it is very close to Bowang City. Bowang City can be designated as the capital."

He frowned, shook his head, and said: "The country is not important."

"What are your plans, Master?"

"Determine the national policy first, and then the capital. Wangguo changes its name and owner. It can no longer follow the old laws and must make major changes. Only in this way can it have a chance to compete with Youhu, Jiguo and others."

Dian Si'er also frowned and said, "How to change?"

Both of them fell into silence.

Everyone has their own strengths. Everyone is exposed to state affairs for the first time, and no one is really good at such matters.

"Did Wen Lei set it up?"

"I heard that the place has been selected, but the exam has not started yet."

"Tell Jiu'er that the exam will start as soon as possible. The topic will be...'On Strength and Weakness' and the strategies to strengthen the country and the people."

"I'm afraid no one can give me any insight."

"It's okay."

Lu Tong shook his head and said: "Regardless of whether there are people or not, let's cast the net out first and remember to set the reward higher."

"Okay."

……

Three days later, Xu Xuxing led a group of people to the foot of the mountain and entered the cave entrance on the top of the mountain alone.

"Master, the leader of the Xu Kingdom came to visit in person, accompanied by the envoys and guards of the Blood Refining Kingdom."

Lu Tong sat behind the desk and put down the book in his hand.

"Have you ever said anything?"

"Thank you in advance. Thank you Wangguo and Master for taking back the king for him. Let us call Xiao Longting back as soon as possible."

"Let Yan Kun come in. In addition, immediately send a letter to the Zuntian Chamber of Commerce and ask them to tell Yong Wu that someone from the Xu Kingdom has come. There is no need to say anything else."

"Yes."

After a few breaths, a young man with red eyebrows entered the cave.

"Yan Kun, I have met the master."

Yan Kun, with red eyebrows as red as blood, was the same as when they fought, but after being displaced for nearly four months, the arrogance between his eyebrows was reduced a lot.

"Sit."

Yan Kun glanced at the chair, turned over his hand and took out a square wooden box, handed it over and said: "Thank you, Master, for helping Yan regain the country!"

Lu Tong raised his hand to take a picture and opened the wooden box.

A cool breeze swirled in the box, and in the wind lay a sapphire as big as a fist.

The oval-shaped jade stone has feather patterns all over it on one side, while the other side looks like a human face, complete with nose, eyes, mouth, etc., and an expression that looks like a smile but not a smile.

"What treasure is this?"

"Back to my master, the 'Human Face Jade' is produced in Wansheng Shenxu. This treasure is very rare and is a top-quality precious material for worshiping and refining wind magic weapons."

"Human Face Jade..."

Lu Tong picked up the jade.

A cool feeling penetrated into the palm of the hand. The jade had not been refined, but the remaining divinity naturally produced a cool breeze.

He played with it for a few times and said: "I heard that there is a feathered snake in the Wansheng Shenxu. Is this true or false?"

"The Feathered Serpent is real, but it is not a living creature. It is a monster that was finally transformed into a monster by sweeping away the evil spirit, spiritual energy, blood energy, residual soul, etc. from the remaining consciousness of the gods."

"How strong is it?"

"If you don't kill it to death, if you kill it endlessly, it can only be slowly wiped out."

After Yan Kun finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and said directly: "Yan dare not forget the grace of Master, but after all, Wang and Xu belong to two countries. Please take back the Taoist soldiers under his command as soon as possible."

Lu Tong nodded, put the human-faced jade back into the box, and said, "You are the only one left in the country. How can you restore the country?"

"The Xu Kingdom has formed an alliance with the Blood Lian Country."

"Alliance?"

Lu Tong smiled, shook his head and said: "Do you think of me as a fool in the market? There are tens of millions of people in the Blood Refining Country, and you alone form an alliance with tens of millions of people?"

Yan Kun frowned, his eyebrows were like two **** knives.

Lu Tong raised his hand to hold the box and said: "If my guess is correct, the Xu Kingdom has been destroyed, and fellow Taoists have also worshiped the Blood Refining Kingdom."

Like Wanguo, Xuguo has become an empty country.

However, Yankun did not have the support of a second barrier island, and one of the two major helpers in the country was dead and the other was injured. With only one person's power, there is no possibility of restoring the country.

Yan Kun gritted his teeth and said, "Master wants to be the enemy of Xuelian Kingdom?"

"I dare not. Wang Guo is a small country, not that strong in national power, and not that big in ambition."

Lu Tong picked up the box and threw it back.

Yan Kun caught the box, looked a little confused and said: "Since you don't dare to be an enemy, why doesn't the master retreat?"

"Just a pawn."

Lu Tong stood up, walked to the opposite side of Yan Kun, and said: "The one who really wants to occupy the Xu Kingdom is not the Wang Kingdom, but..."

Lu Tong stopped talking.

Yan Kun narrowed his eyes and said: "Young fox!"

Lu Tong waved his hand without comment and said: "Go ahead, Wang Guo doesn't want to be an enemy of Xue Lian Country. If Xue Lian Country is willing to kill, please inform him in advance so that I can send someone to him in advance. Get out."

"Got it."

Yan Kun sighed, put the box next to him, and said, "Farewell. When we meet again, I hope we won't be enemies."

"I hope so."

That day, at dusk, a golden light fell on the top of the mountain.

Lu Tong noticed a change in the spiritual energy, walked out of the cave, glanced at it, and said: "Brother Yong, you are late."

"Everything goes wrong."

"Come in and talk."

The two entered the cave and sat down.

Yongnuo said directly: "Yan Kun wants to return to the Xu Kingdom?"

"It's not Yan Kun, it's Xue Lian Guo."

"Paochuan?"

"Yeah."

Lu Tong nodded.

Baochuan, the leader of the Blood Lian Kingdom, was the elder of the Baolian Sect, Master Yuanying, and the head of the Ge family before the founding of the country. He was strong and powerful.

Yongnuo shook his eagle head, took out some snow-white animal skins, and said, "This is the contract I made with Jiao Zhuzheng."

Lu Tong took the animal skin.

After looking at it for a few times, his expression quickly darkened, and after reading it, there was no expression on his face.

"Cut the soil, pay for the grass, station the troops, and listen to the instructions. Is this the contract you helped me get?"

The contract is simple.

Ceded the west of the Mi River; compensated 100,000 tons of gooseneck wormwood and 500,000 tons of cattail grass every year; placed a group of foxes in each city; Wang Guo assigned a Taoist army to obey the dispatch.

"You should understand the temperament of Jiao Zhuzheng."

Yongwu took out a pot of wine, poured a glass and handed it over.

Lu Tong took the drink and drank it in one gulp, threw down the glass, and said: "Why don't you just fall out and take the spirit to escape into Wangguo, and we will unite with Jiguo and Shuguo to encircle and destroy Jiaozhuzheng."

"The next best thing."

Yongnuo refilled the wine glass.

Lu Tong drank again and said: "What is the best policy? Let me tell you."

“Asking for a high price, pay back on the spot. When she asks, you pay back. Now most countries have just experienced a war, and no one is willing to launch an army easily.”

Lu Tong took away three animal skins, leaving only a contract "ceding the west of Mihe".

"Except for this one, nothing else is negotiable."

"Yes."

Yong nodded in agreement, took out a piece of golden paper, and wrote while writing: "After the war, the competition from now on is to accumulate strength. Hold on to the Jiao Zhuzheng first, and then fall out when you have enough to protect yourself."

"Well, I need help from the Zuntian Chamber of Commerce."

"I have submitted my complaint. Before I withdraw from the Little Fox Kingdom, the Zuntian Chamber of Commerce will trade with you through King Yuchao of Shu Kingdom. You will discuss the specific situation after meeting Queen Yuchao."

The king of jade tide, Que Yu.

When Lu Tong was trying to prosper his country, Que Yu gradually mastered the fairy ship with the support of Que Shenpeng and Lian Zhoushan.

After Yongnuo finished writing on the gold paper, he handed it over and said, "Take a look."

The paper talks about the disposition of the Xu Kingdom. It is the same as what the two of them had discussed before. The country belongs to Youhu and Shenxu belongs to Wang Kingdom.

Lu Tong read it once, signed his name and left the magic power.

"The land belongs to the young fox, not to you. Are you sure you can **** it from the mouth of Jiao Zhuzheng?"

Yongnuo opened his eagle's beak, and his eyes smiled like moon arcs, and said: "The only benefit of this war is this. The Kingdom of Shu has a magic weapon to restrain illusions. If the Jiao Zhuzheng wants to defend the Young Fox Kingdom, it can no longer rely on the fox demon. You can only cooperate with us."

Lu Tong nodded slowly, and a thought came to his mind:

Yongnuo can only cooperate, not rely on.

The "we" Yongnuo refers to refers to the Zuntian Divine Realm. No matter which country he is in, Yongwu’s position will always be in the Zuntian Divine Realm.

"I need some artifacts."

"Yes."

Yongnu shook the gold paper and said: "With it, you, me, and Jiao Zhuzheng are already allies in name, and we can exchange whatever we need at any time."

Lu Tong smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Allies...

Among the countries, profit comes first, and alliances are just an excuse to balance power.

……

Day by day passes.

The Young Fox Kingdom and the Wang Kingdom entered the Xu Kingdom at the same time, and each sent a team of Taoist soldiers to station at the junction of the Xu Kingdom and the Xuelian Kingdom.

The source of the Mi River.

Slowly walked outside the cave and said: "Master."

"Come in."

Slowly enter the cave.

The cave is very spacious, with several bedrooms and quiet rooms in the depth, and a large interconnected hall, side room, study room, etc. outside.

Lu Tong is sitting in the study.

Slowly walked over, handed over a few pieces of paper, and said: "Master, these are the 'Six Palaces' and 'Hundred Mountains' decided by the Master's Wife as instructed by the disciples."

Lu Tong took the paper.

The six halls are benevolence, propriety, scripture, righteousness, wisdom, and god.

Rendian, in charge of the marriage of men and women, the birth of children;

The Hall of Ceremony is in charge of internal and external etiquette, and determines dignity;

The Sutra Hall is in charge of promoting loyalty and good deeds, educating and spreading the Dharma;

The Hall of Justice is responsible for punishing evil and rewarding good, eliminating evil and leading to righteousness;

Zhidian, in charge of weighing merchants and doing good deeds;

The temple is in charge of balancing the five elements and patrolling mountains and rivers.

Lu Tong looked carefully and saw traces of many other countries. After thinking about it, several candidates emerged for the position of palace master.

"Why is there no Alchemy Palace or Instrument Palace?"

"Reporting to Master, I have observed various countries. Among them, most of the countries with civil strife have the disadvantage of "indifferentiation between civil and military affairs", and it is easy for one party to become stronger. Therefore, the six palaces are all civil servants, and elixirs and utensils are closely related to practice, so they are also included in Among hundreds of mountains."

Lu Tong felt a chill in his heart. He immediately straightened his expression and read it again.

"Who can assume the position of palace master?"

Xu Xuxing hesitated for a moment and said: "Reporting to Master, among the six halls, Sutra, Yi, and Wisdom are the most important, and the other three halls can be assigned."

Classics, righteousness, and wisdom are in charge of promotion, punishment, and state business.

Xu Xuxing had no direct suggestions.

Lu Tong nodded, did not ask further questions, and continued to look at "Hundred Mountains".

The content of Baishan is very simple: separate mountains stand and spread their magic.

In addition, names are also attached, Baorong, Bujia, Dujia, Xiao Longting, Water Dragon King...

Lu Tong looked at it for a long time, and many thoughts came to his mind.

Civil and military affairs are separated.

There were not many rules in the past, and Baorong, Bujia, Xiao Longting, etc. were very comfortable. Once the rules fell and someone restrained them, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction.

When there is dissatisfaction, there is resentment, but this step has to be taken.

"I know, is there anything else?"

"The disciple has another suggestion. The Wen Lei exam has been held twice. Most of the people taking the exam have little knowledge and are difficult to recruit. The disciple suggests that they can be recruited from other countries."

"Other countries?"

Lu Tong frowned.

Countries are fighting each other and recruiting people from other countries. The bad ones are afraid to be used, and the good ones may be sent out deliberately.

Xu Xingxing said: "Master, I don't know something. Disciples often go to teahouses to listen to books in their free time. In recent years, the most popular stories on the streets are about 'reform' and 'acquisition of talents.'"

Lu Tong's expression moved slightly.

As your cultivation level increases, you become farther and farther away from ordinary people. You have not been in contact with ordinary people for many years, but these talents are the foundation of a country.

Suddenly I understood why Jiao Zhuzheng failed.

At the fifth level, the fox girl has trampled all other ethnic groups under her feet, and as a result, she has lost her foundation bit by bit.

He immediately felt alarmed. approximately The Rongguo is no longer the property of the owner, but..."

"Huh?"

Lu Tong raised his eyebrows.

Xu Xuxing stopped talking immediately. Only then did he realize that he had just mentioned the "itchy spot" and was a little carried away.

"Disciple is temporarily absent-minded, please ask Master..."

"No problem."

Lu Tong waved his hand and said: "This suggestion is very good, but you must be careful to screen it in case it is a spy from another country."

"As commanded."

……

Soon, the first month passed.

In Jinjing City.

Lu Tong walked alone on the street, looking around and listening to conversations near and far.

"...This kind of grass can steal blood energy. I have planted it a long time ago. Let's go pick it together tonight, right over Xiaotan Mountain."

"You are crazy, those blood energy are from the Blood Tower."

"Sell demon skins, ready-made, and you can transform into a one-foot-long monkey or a two-foot-long monkey..."

“I finally turned my legs into fish tails, but Niulang Bay was taken over by the Young Fox Kingdom. Damn it, there’s no place to fish.”

"The Xiao Mansion recruits people and wins three games in a row in the ring..."

This is the first time since entering Wangguo that I walked around the streets.

Lu Tong listened for a long time and unknowingly became more and more familiar with Wanguo.

"Master."

Dian Si'er fell beside him.

Lu Tong took a look and his eyes moved slightly.

"What happened?"

Dian Si'er's breath was a little confused, he swallowed his throat and said: "Wangqiu is still in Shu Kingdom, Baorong went to take the people in person, but Yun Ao forced him to stay, saying that he wanted to keep Wangqiu as a pledge."

Lu Tong’s expression darkened.

Dian Si'er added: "Wangqiu said that she is willing to stay."

"Got it."
