To be honest, for Zhang Zhi and the others, the value of the Mermaid's Pearl was no less than a divine artifact. Moreover, something like the divine artifact, the Green Sword, was also something that they were determined to obtain.
After the Mermaid's Pearl was refined, it could be made into a Muni Pearl. If the pearl was immersed in water for a day and night, the water could cure all diseases and relax the mind. It was the foundation of the Taiping Sect's preaching to the world.
Talisman Water!
The divine artifact, the Green Sword, looked like a murderous weapon, but it was not.
Even Xiahou En himself did not know that the reason he was chosen by Cao Cao to be the sword operator was not because of his loyalty or his family background, but because of his eight characters of the horoscope.
It turned out that from the Western Han Dynasty until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there would be a position beside the Emperor of Han, called an attendant!
Simply put, it was equivalent to the Emperor's secretary. Its power could be said to be frighteningly great. It had no right to make decisions on anything, but it had the right to be an advisor!
The normal number of attendants was three people.
Not to mention the Emperor's secretary, even the secretary of the Municipal Party Secretary, the county magistrate, the secretary, and the like had to be polite!
This was because they could meet the person who decided your future every day. They might not be able to do anything, but at the critical moment, they could ruin your plans with a single word!
And the person with the highest status among the attendants had a very important duty, which was to carry the sword!
The one who carried the sword was the famous Snake Slaying Sword, the sword that Gaozu used to slay the white snake!
The duty of the Sword Attendant was to gather the spirit of the world with the Snake Slaying Sword and follow the Emperor to kill all demons and monsters and suppress the fate of the country!
Therefore, Cao Cao had the intention of usurping the Han Dynasty and establishing himself. He imitated the style of the Han Dynasty Emperor and specially set up the position of a Sword Attendant beside him.
In addition to loyalty, this person's birth characters had to complement Cao Cao and the Green Sword. In the end, after many rounds of selection, Xiahou En was chosen.
Cao Cao used the Dragon Qi of the Han Dynasty to nourish the Green Sword, wanting to turn it into a dragon.
At the same time, this sword also began to perform the function of the Snake Slaying Sword, suppressing the fate of the world, so it produced a lot of power.
Fang Linyan and the others couldn't use these powers, but for Qi Refinement cultivators, this sword could shield the secrets of heaven and suppress fate. Whether it was setting up a killing array or subduing elves and strange monsters, it could have an extremely magical effect.
Therefore, they actually wanted these 2 things very much, and they were prepared for Fang Linyan and others to ask for an exorbitant price, but they didn't expect that the first condition mentioned by the other party, which was probably the most important condition, was actually the wooden deed of the tax chamber?
It was understandable that he wanted gold, silver, and beautiful women.
Gold and silver can be spent in the world to buy goods.
Beauties, on the other hand, could be used. After using them, they could be given away. If they were kept, they could give birth to children, make the bed, and serve him. If he let them go, he could accumulate good karma and gain a good reputation.
But what's the use of a tax deed? This was the representation of a fief. In fact, it was not worth much!
Most importantly, if you want to own this thing, you must first rely on a powerful ruler.
Not to mention a mighty lord like Cao Cao, at the very least, he must be a warlord with a stable territory!
Under Fang Linyan, it was nothing more than Sun Quan, Liu Zhang, and others. Liu Biao was also one of them.
For example, if you rely on Liu Bei, even if he gives you tens of thousands of households in his territory such as Xinye and Jiangling, it's useless! Because your fief will be occupied by Cao Cao in minutes.
The 5 of you are betraying Cao Cao now. To put it bluntly, you are really panicking like stray dogs. You don't even have a lord, so why do you want a tax deed?
After so many thoughts turned in her mind, Zhang Zhi suddenly saw Xu Shao next to her winking at her. She immediately apologized to Fang Linyan and the others, saying that she needed to discuss it.
After the group walked a few meters away, Xu Shao waved his hand and cast a spell to isolate the sound, then he said,
"As a Wanderer, Fang Yan has always been surrounded by thieves who are extremely scheming. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill Xiahou En and obtain the divine weapon, the Dark Green Sword."
"So, when they made this request, it is very likely that they have already considered our relationship with that side."
Zhang Zhi was taken aback and said,
"This is unlikely right? There are only a few people in the world who know about my relationship with my uncle. How could they know about it? "
Xu Shao said,
"If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place! Besides, there are countless strange people and strange things in the world. For example, I don't know the almighty person who changed the fates of these five people. It's really unfathomable. "
Zhang Zhi frowned and said,
"Is that so? I originally said that if the deal is not successful, we will rob it. "
Xu Shao shook his head decisively and said,
"We can't do this. I just received the news that Zuo Ci cast a spell to detect his whereabouts with the Immortal Sand Table Technique, but he didn't expect to suffer a backlash. Zuo Ci immediately returned to the camp to cultivate in seclusion."
"I have been dismembered, and I belong to the category of Ghost Immortal. Once I encounter such a thing, it is possible that I will be turned into ashes on the spot."
"Not only that, but this group of people can carry the Merfolk Pearls with them without leaking any of their auras. This ability is no small matter."
Zhang Zhi sighed and said,
"Damn it, do we really have to meet their requirements?"
Liu Xiaowei also cupped his fist at this time and said,
"Miss, the other party can kill Xiahou En and get the Green Killer Sword, so they must be scheming. Since they dare to meet us, they must be prepared. The possibility of achieving our wish is very low."
"This time, even if it is just for the Merman Pearl, it is worth paying any price, not to mention we can get this peerless weapon, Green Killer Sword?"
Zhang Zhi nodded silently and said,
"Well, then if we want to meet their needs, we can only contact my uncle."
“.....”
After the group discussed for a while, Zhang Zhi turned back and said,
"Ladies and gentlemen, how many tax deeds do you need?"
Fang Linyan didn't need to ask for the opinions of others this time. He said straightforwardly,
"The more, the better."
Zhang Zhi's face changed. She sighed and said,
"This is still your first request, right?"
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
"Of course, but the 2 things I took out to exchange are also unparalleled in the world!"
The corner of Zhang Zhi's eyes twitched and said,
"You have to give me some time because I have never thought of your request before."
Fang Linyan shrugged and said,
"I want to stay for a while, but now the Green Killer Sword has been locked by Zuo Ci's spell. I can only stay here for 2 hours at most before leaving."
Xu Zijiang said very simply,
"It's okay. With me here, I can naturally confuse the secrets of heaven. Even if Zuo Yuanfang divines personally, he can't deduce it without a day or two."
After listening to Xu Zijiang's words, Fang Linyan nodded and said,
"In this case, we can wait for a while, but we have to be vigilant. I will find an empty place with a good view to stay. Come and call us when you have finished discussing."
Zhang Zhi said,
"Of course."
So next, Fang Linyan and others directly used the prop purchased from the Capsule Technology Department: Umonic RV Capsule, and then summoned it out.
After a group of people went up, they immediately began to take a bath, massage, relax, and also treated their own injuries and had a good rest.
To be honest, they had been in this world for almost 30 hours at this time. They only slept for 3 to 4 hours in total, but they had already experienced many fierce battles. At this time, after lying on the comfortable bed, they didn't want to move anymore.
At this time, Fang Linyan took out the key dropped by Xiahou En and said,
"I didn't kill Xiahou En alone; it's everyone's credit! So I have been keeping this key. Let's see who is lucky enough to open it. "
Hearing Fang Linyan's words, everyone was excited!
Xiahou En! Although his strength was not strong, he was still a general whose name was recorded in history! Even if he was beaten up by Zhao Yun before he died, the quality of the key would inevitably drop. However, the quality of the key could directly reach dark green at this time, which was already very strong.
In addition to Fang Linyan, a group of people scrambled to open the key. They almost fought with each other. In the end, they decided to play rock-paper-scissors to determine the winner. Vulture won. This guy wanted to get another suit.
After a burst of green light flashed, the box slowly opened. The group of people stared intently at the inside of the box …
Then the answer was revealed smoothly!
First of all, everyone got 5 potential points and 20,000 utility points.
Then, a dazzling gold coin appeared. There were 4 words on it: Great Spring of Thousands. The following explanation was that the Wu Country's coin with mysterious power could be sold to the Realm in exchange for merit points.
After using it, it could raise the evaluation of the next completed mission by 1 level.
It was worth mentioning that the quality of this gold coin was dark green.
The last thing that appeared was a protective gear called Xiahou En's Heart Protection Mirror. This thing was a silver storyline equipment. Its main attributes were defense + 5, health + 200 points, but movement speed and attack speed were reduced by 10%.
After using it, it could purify all negative states on the body. The cooldown time was 8 seconds.
After some discussion, the Great Spring of Thousands was temporarily undecided. It was placed with the goat, and Xiahou En's Heart Protection Mirror was taken away by Max.
He was in the front at the critical moment. As long as he spoke, Max would definitely take priority. This was also the default rule.
In the eyes of Zhang Zhi and others, Fang Linyan and the others entered a mysterious carriage to rest. Xu Zijiang and others looked at it from a distance for a while, and they were amazed. They felt that it was a wonderful work of art.
Wu Xiaowei guessed if Fang Linyan and others were the descendants of the Mohist Family? He was actually able to make such an exquisite looking artifact.
***
About half an hour later, a goshawk suddenly rushed down from the sky.
However, this goshawk rolled directly after landing, and it actually burned. Even the bushes next to it were ignited. Immediately afterward, the raging fire actually formed a door, and then an elegant young man actually walked out of it.
The posture when he walked out of the door of fire was also very handsome. It was the kind that could make 17 or 18 years old girls scream with stars in their eyes.
This young master was dressed in a brocade robe. The robe was made of the finest ice blue silk, embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns at the edges.
The bun on his head was pinned with a snow-white jade hairpin. The only special thing was that among the ornaments hanging around his waist, there was actually a very ordinary black stone, which was incompatible with those exquisite jade ornaments.
The young man had a kind smile on his face. After seeing Zhang Zhi, he cupped his fist and smiled,
"Little aunt."
Zhang Zhi nodded, then the young man turned to the RV where Fang Linyan and others were staying,
"Fang Yan and others are staying inside?"
At this time, Fang Linyan also noticed the abnormality outside, so he quickly walked out. As soon as he saw this young master in brocade, he found that a faint voice suddenly came from his ear. It sounded a bit like High Priest Teritogonia's voice, but the voice was intermittent, "Young Master Teritogonia,
"… Black stone … I want … very important! Very, very important! "
Fang Linyan's pupils suddenly shrank.
He knew very well that since he used Athena's divine power and had to rely on Athena's blessing to save his life, then with the rapid growth of Athena's divine power, his actions might be noticed.
However, in the adventure world, Athena tried to talk and communicate with him, so she must pay a great price. This was also the first time she made a similar request to Fang Linyan! Therefore, it was reasonable for Fang Linyan to settle this matter properly.
In this case, Fang Linyan took a deep breath, then he smiled and said to the young master, "Young master, don't worry.
"May I ask?"
Zhang Zhi said,
"This is my nephew, Zhang Yuanwei. The wooden deed of the tax village that you want will fall on him."
Zhang Yuanwei cupped his fist and smiled,
"Zhang Yuanwei, Grand Chancellor of the Way of Five Pecks of Rice greets all heroes."
"Way of Five Pecks of Rice?" After Fang Linyan heard it, he was still a little confused at first, but then the prompt from the retina surprised the 5 of them.
"All contractors are Growth Hunters. At present, some people have begun to contact the higher-ups of the other forces in this world … and there is a high chance of joining."
"The hidden camp (neutral camp) in this world is officially opened! All contractors and Growth Hunters who are interested in joining please find the opportunity to join. "
Obviously, as soon as the space prompt came out, the rest of the people might still be a little confused, but Fang Linyan and others knew very well that this space prompt was triggered by them.
In other words, this Grand Chancellor of the Way of Five Pecks of Rice, Zhang Yuanwei, was already a key figure in a hidden camp.
While thinking, the goat had already hesitated,
"Your surname is also Zhang? May I know your relationship with the Great Sage Liang Shi? "
Zhang Yuanwei said frankly,
"According to the genealogy, my mother is the distant cousin of the Great Sage Liang Shi."
"Not only that, the Great Sage Liang Shi practiced the Taiping Technique, which originated from the lineage of the Immortal Yu Ji. When my ancestor Zhang Daoling established the Celestial Master Taoism, he was also enlightened by Old Immortal Yu Ji. He is also from the same sect as the Great Sage Liang Shi."
"At that time, when the Great Sage Liang Shi rose up, my father was in close cultivation, otherwise he would also rise up together with them."
As soon as Zhang Yuanwei answered like this, his identity was immediately revealed! His father was most likely Zhang Lu!
Zhang Lu who ruled Hanzhong for 30 years, the grandson of the Marquis of Western Han, the grandson of Zhang Daoling of the Celestial Master Taoism! He was also the only separatist force during the Three Kingdoms period!
Zhang Yuanwei, who appeared in front of Fang Linyan and others at this time, was Zhang Lu's eldest son. He was considered to be the successor who would inherit his foundation in the future! From this, it could be seen how much they desired the artifact.
At the same time, if it weren't for Zhang Zhi and Zhang Yuanwei's self-destruction, it would be really difficult to think that the Yellow Turban Army and Zhang Lu's side actually had so many inextricable connections.
However, from history, when Cao Cao's army approached Hanzhong, Zhang Lu actually resisted symbolically, then he directly surrendered to Cao Cao. There was also a famous saying "I would rather be Cao Cao's servant than Liu Bei's guest".
The fact that Cao Cao's army surrendered to Zhang Lu's army so smoothly was definitely not a day's work. It was very likely that the Yellow Turban Faction within Cao Cao's army had tried their best to persuade Cao Cao a long time ago.
Cao Cao was originally very lenient to the surrendered generals, not to mention that the Yellow Turban Faction could still be of great use to him, so it was normal for him to turn a blind eye to the existence of Zhang Zhi and others.
Fang Linyan looked at Zhang Yuan with a smile and said,
"It turns out to be the grand chancellor of the Five Pecks of Rice Cult. Please forgive me for not welcoming you."
Zhang Yuanwei seemed to be very easy to talk to.
He smiled and said, "I heard from my little aunt that the first condition of the 5 exchange is the tax deed?"
Fang Linyan nodded and said,
"Yes! And the more households are rewarded, the better. "
Zhang Yuanwei nodded and said,
"It's not impossible, but my father's confidant counselor, Yan Pu, is also considered to have worked hard and made great contributions. So far, he has only been rewarded with 270 households …"
Fang Linyan frowned after listening,
"270 households? Then there's nothing to talk about! "
"Grand chancellor, you have to think clearly. Hanzhong's geographical location is unique. It can attack Sichuan in the west, enter Shaanxi in the north, enter Jingchu in the south, and occupy Nanyang in the east. As long as you seize the right opportunity, you can easily seize a few counties and get more than 100,000 households!"
"However, in this world, there are only a few treasures that can be as famous as the Green Sword and Mooni Bead, and only the famous weapons have owners! The opportunity to get these 2 treasures at once is hard to come by in a thousand years. "
Zhang Yuanwei sighed and said,
"Your treasures are indeed good, but ordinary people don't dare to own them."
Fang Linyan shrugged and said,
"That's not necessarily true. The king of Wu Kingdom, Liu Zhang of Shuzhong, and so on are all capable and interested buyers."
Zhang Zhi heard the anger in the conversation between the 2 sides, so she hurriedly stood up and mediated,
"Wait a minute, let me brew a pot of tea to entertain the guests."
Then the woman stood up, bowed, and flicked her sleeves. The trees next to her actually bent and grew on their own, forming a natural rattan chair.
Then she actually buried a seed on the ground. In a flash, the seed grew into a tea tree. Zhang Zhi picked 3 tender green leaves and put them into the tea set.
