PS: Once Uncle makes a move, I'll have to peel off another layer of skin. I have no choice but to use the New Year goods as a replacement! Buy five and get four free. This request is a little too high. Can we negotiate? Yesterday, I sent out one chapter. Today, I'll send out two chapters. Any more and there won't be any left!
Sloth's book thrived precisely because it had a true book friend like this uncle who supported it with all his might after drinking!
…
The change began more than ten years ago.
In the beginning, it was only three unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivators that appeared around Changshuo. In the world of cultivation, this was a rare sight for Changshuo, but it was nothing new. The universe was boundless, and there were always passersby. Even if there were passersby, it was impossible for them to cut themselves off from the universe.
However, what the three cultivators did next was rather strange. They did not communicate with each other. Travelers like them only had two choices when passing through a cultivation realm. One was to interact with the local cultivators, and the other was to leave and continue their journey. Indeed, there were very few people like them who just stayed in the space outside Changshuo. They did not leave or interact with each other. Who knew what they were dawdling there for?
The three Yuanying cultivators were not a threat to Changshuo. Based on the way Changshuo dealt with outsiders, they would not act rashly against the three cultivators. It was not that they could not deal with them, but that they had to consider the possible hidden troubles behind them.
The cautiousness of small forces in small realms when dealing with foreign cultivators was vividly displayed here.
Under such an atmosphere, what made the people of Changshuo uneasy was that more and more cultivators from other realms had gathered. At the beginning, there were only three cultivators, but now, there were more than ten of them. Although they were still Yuanying cultivators, the trend was unsettling.
"Should we inform Zhou Xian?" One of the Yuanying Perfected Masters asked.
Another one immediately retorted, "How? Inform what? They didn't even start a war with Changshuo, nor did they show any hostility. Yet here we are, being paranoid and treating everyone as an enemy! So what if we inform Zhou Xian? Would they send someone over or not? I, Changshuo, do indeed have an agreement with Zhou Xian, but that refers to when the domain is facing a great enemy and cannot support us. It is not a small matter where we ask for reinforcements. If we do this too often, people will look down on us! "
Things like agreements also had their scope of application. It depended on the level of threat, and it was not something that could be casually mentioned. This was a matter of face and also the actual cost of reinforcements. How could cultivators not understand the story of the boy who cried wolf?
The Yuanying from before sighed and said, "Zhou Xian changed their guard a few months ago and sent a message to us. I was thinking that if I could take this opportunity to send the news back to Zhou Xian and see what they have to say about this matter … Now that the guard has changed, he won't be able to go back in a short period of time. We can only solve this problem by ourselves!"
Just as they were hesitating, a message talisman came from outside. Perfected Monarch Kong Gu checked it with his Divine Sense and smiled.
"It's the new Taoist from Zhou Xian! Since he is new, he probably doesn't know much about the surrounding environment of Changshuo. Why don't we reveal this situation to him when we introduce him? It's not an official request for help from Zhou Xian, but a sharing of resources … "
The Yuanying nodded and immediately went out of the main hall to welcome him. It was inevitable that small sects would lose some of their magnanimity in handling matters. This was also forced by the circumstances of life.
Lou Xiaoyi was welcomed into the main hall. Perfected Monarch Kong Gu looked around and saw a young man walking in with swaying steps. His temperament was very strange. He did not have the sage-like demeanor of an orthodox Taoist cultivator. Instead, he was more like an itinerant cultivator. How could he know the details of a sect far away in Zhou Xian? He only thought that there were more than a hundred people and that there were all kinds of strange things, which was normal.
However, she couldn't hide her cultivation from him. She was at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, so she was rather disappointed. In the world of cultivation, one's cultivation realm basically represented the right to speak. Who wouldn't want to have a stronger helper?
"Junior Xiaoyao Shan Er greets Perfected Monarch!" Lou Xiaoyi was very polite. In his view, every senior was worthy of respect, but it was different when he used his sword.
Kong Gu was full of smiles, "Disciple Xiaoyao, you are indeed a dragon among men! Changshuo also has some special food and wine. Since this is the first time we meet, we must welcome you with a feast! "
Lou Xiaoyi did not decline. The guest should follow the host's wishes and it was not good to be too stiff. He could also use this opportunity to build a relationship with the native cultivators. An agreement was an agreement, and friendship was friendship. An agreement with friendship was more reliable and effective.
During the feast, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves. The Changshuo cultivators slowly led the topic to the unknown extraterrestrial cultivators. How could the quick-witted Lou Xiaoyi not understand their intentions? If Senior Brother Kou knew about it, he would have mentioned it to him. Now, were they bullying him because he was young and inexperienced?
However, it did not matter. It was a good thing that the people of Changshuo wanted something from him. It could shorten the distance between them, and it would be easier for him to ask in the future. In the Cultivation World, it was nothing more than you using me and I using you.
"If you ask me if there is a similar situation in the relay points of Zhou Xian, I don't know. This is the first time I have accepted the task of guarding the coordinates. Before I came here, the sect did not mention any similar abnormalities. I think this is not a common phenomenon, right?
However, if you ask me how to deal with this matter, I can only answer according to the rules of Zhou Xian.
In our opinion, the worst situation is to ignore it. We have to go out and ask clearly, whether it is a literary inquiry or a martial inquiry. "
This was not the rule of Zhou Xian, but the rule of the Fifth Ring! As the guardian Daoist of the relay point of Changshuo, Lou Xiaoyi did not want to see so many strange cultivators drifting about outside, their whereabouts unknown.
He could understand the survival of small domains, but he could stimulate their sense of responsibility. He did not like to be in an uncontrollable situation.
Kong Gu smiled and said, "We have already asked the literary inquiry, but they did not give us an answer. I want to know how the martial inquiry in Zhou Xian works. "
Lou Xiaoyi played it down. "That's right, find a reason to fight! Let them know the pain, and they will naturally be willing to communicate. The sooner we fight, the sooner we communicate. If we are late, more and more people will gather. At that time, we will not dare to fight even if we want to! We can also determine whether we need to send a message back to Zhou Xian!
At that time, if you take action, I am willing to go with you and see if you are from the forces around Zhou Xian. Of course, this possibility is not big. "
That was all he could say. If the cultivators of Changshuo were still pretending to be turtles, then there was nothing he could do. If they did not care about their own domain, then there was no saving them. In the Cultivation World, you must first determine if the outsiders were malicious, then other things.
The banquet was tasteless. Other than the guests eating and drinking there, the hosts were all thinking.
In the end, Perfected Lord Kong Gu decided. "Fine! Let's send people over to wrestle with them! It is not good for a Perfected Lord to take action. I am afraid that they will scatter and flee. Why don't we send a dozen or so Yuanying who are good at fighting, then it will not be considered bullying them.
At that time, don't be ruthless and focus on fighting. I think they will understand our attitude?
Little Friend Dan, please go with them. You don't have to take action, just watch from the side. Changshuo's troubles will be borne by the people of Changshuo! "
