Chapter 793 Jijuan returns to the East China Sea, full of high spirits
The day before Chen Huaisheng left the mountain, Yan Chixia and Bao Que both broke through the foundation building.
This news also filled the entire Dahuai Mountain with excitement and joy.
The strength of Dahuaishan has increased greatly. At present, even if we don't count the alien cultivators, it is already small in scale.
There are two people in the Zifu realm, Gongsun Sheng (middle soul condensing realm) and Chen Huaisheng (marrow essence high realm).
The thirteen people who built the foundation are Wu Tianen (the fourth level of foundation building), Zhao Sitian (the third level of foundation building), Tang Jingtian (the second level of foundation building), Gou Yiwei (the second level of foundation building), Jing Zhonghong (the second level of foundation building), Zeng Guolin, Ju Zhenfa, Yang Husheng, Ji Huaijiang, Zhu Yanhua, Xuan Chimei, Yan Chixia, and Bao Que are all at the first level of foundation building.
However, there are still some differences in the first level of foundation building. Zeng Guolin and Ju Zhenzhen have been building foundations for many years. They also tried to attack the second level of foundation building twice, but both failed. They are still accumulating strength. It is estimated that they can only attack the second level of foundation building. It will be successful within a year and a half.
Ji Huaijiang and Zhu Yanhua have been building the foundation for three or four years. In theory, reaching the second level of foundation building is a matter of timing. It is normal to break through and advance to the second level of foundation building.
Xuan Chimei, Yan Chixia, and Bao Que only built the foundation. Don't think about it in a short time. In a year or two, they will still focus on savings.
But no matter what, two Zifu plus thirteen foundation builders, if you don’t look at the fact that most of the foundation builder monks are in the early stage of foundation builder, they still feel like a medium-level sect with three to four hundred disciples. Body size.
The addition of two new foundation builders naturally made Chen Huaisheng feel more at ease.
Yan Chixia's strength is quite good. Although she has just established a foundation, with her magical combat power, she basically has the combat power of the second level of foundation building.
Chen Huaisheng believed that Zeng Guolin and Ju Zhenzhen might be able to advance to the second level of foundation building before he could return.
The only difficulty now is that the middle and high levels of foundation building are too scarce. Zhao Sitian has not succeeded in attacking the middle level of foundation building, and Wu Tianen is far away from the high level of foundation building. This situation is estimated to be difficult to change within ten years.
Chen Huaisheng didn't delay any more, grabbed Chen Jisheng and set off straight away.
After crossing the Yellow River, we went southeast from Jijun, entered Suijun, crossed Huaidu via Qiaojun, and entered the river by boat, which was regarded as entering the territory of Wuyue.
The journey was going smoothly. She and Chen Jisheng spent the night together and talked about everything. I can understand Chen Jisheng's current state of mind.
After entering the territory of Wuyue, the pressure on the two people eased slightly. After all, the people of the Western Tang Dynasty still had many eyes and ears in the territory of Da Zhao. Although it had been several years, the matter of the imperial flag was too important, and the Western Tang Dynasty would never Maybe let it go, but even if Chen Jisheng's whereabouts is not determined in ten or twenty years, the people of the Western Tang Dynasty will not give up.
After entering Wuyue, the threat of the Western Tang people was greatly weakened. There was a big Zhao in the middle. No matter how arrogant the Western Tang people were, it was not their turn to dictate to Wu Yue.
"Isn't the Haimen Sandbank just ahead?" Chen Huaisheng had not been here for some time, and Chen Jisheng was even more familiar with this place than he was.
"Yes, the shadowy place is Haimen Sandbank." Chen Jisheng stood on the bow of the ship, with his hands on his hips: "Haimen Sandbank is a market town, but it is actually one of the three major external connections in the entire East China Sea. In addition to the Holy Fire Sect, there are also several East China Sea All the family members have also set up external contact points here,..."
"Oh? Jisheng, it seems that after staying here for a few years, you have become a Tonghaitong?" Chen Huaisheng laughed.
"Donghaitong doesn't count, but you also know that I stay on Peach Blossom Island and have nothing else to do except practice. I occasionally follow people from the Holy Fire Sect out. If they want to go to Da Zhao, they basically go to Haimen Sandbank. If you want to go to Nanchu, go to Dinghai Town in the middle." Chen Jisheng introduced: "Dinghai Town is right next to Yanshan Road, which was destroyed by the Holy Fire Sect."
Chen Huaisheng pondered for a while: "Who controls Yanshan, the current gate of Yanshan Road?"
"There is no conclusion yet, but the Jinding Sect controls the Zhenhai Fishing Ground at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain. Nanyanshan is also controlled by them, while Beiyanshan is controlled by the Kong family, the in-laws of the Qian family of the Wuyue official family. In addition, it turns out that Yanshan Road The largest city, Zhenhaifang City, was taken back from the Dong family by the Ziyang faction last year. The Ziyang faction only dared to attack the Dong family with the support of the Qian family..."
There are two major royal families in Wuyue Kingdom, the Qian family and the Dong family. The Dong family is the former royal family of Wuyue. Three hundred years ago, Qian Wuyue was still the Dong dynasty. However, 220 years ago, the Dong family was in civil strife. As a result, his in-laws, the Qian family, took the opportunity to rise up and seize the throne. He lost the kingship of Wuyue and became the Qian family of Wuyue, but the Dong family still maintained a strong strength and always wanted to regain the kingship.
However, the Dong Dynasty has always relied on aristocratic families, including the Qian family, Shen family, Lu family, Gu family, Yu family, Kong family, He family, Xia family, etc., all belong to the old and famous families in Wuyue, and they marry each other and rely on the Great Wall. .
The Dong family thought that they could rely on these aristocratic families, so they had always had a bad relationship with the major cultivation sects in Wuyue. Therefore, when they were replaced by the Qian family in the civil strife, they found that all of these aristocratic families were on the sidelines. At this time, they wanted to ask for help. These sects, these sects all acted in a positive and negative way, which ultimately led to the change of hands of the king. It can be said that Chen Huaisheng's poisonous plan back then successfully disrupted the situation of the Wuyue Kingdom's cultivation world. In the past few years, various sects and noble families have been competing endlessly for the heritage left by Yanshan Road, such as mountain gates, markets, and fishing grounds. The Qian family was also involved, and there was no peace.
But for the Holy Fire Sect, it has ushered in a rare few years of peace.
At the beginning, Yanshan Dao had been instructed by the Qian family and had been provoking provocations and harassing the Holy Fire Sect. The Holy Fire Sect had been forbearing because they considered that the Qian family was behind it, and if the two sides got entangled, it would give the Qian family an opportunity to take advantage of it.
In the end, he couldn't bear the blow and threw the fruits of victory, which indeed triggered a storm in Wuyue. The Jinding Sect won the majority and refused to let it go. Even if the Qian family came forward to put pressure, they could not succeed. Later, the Jinding Sect Simply put Zhenhaifang City was given to the Dong family, hoping to use the Dong family to contain the Qian family. As a result, the Qian family used the Ziyang faction to join forces with the Kong family to attack the Dong family, and the Dong family attracted the Shen family as an ally. The result was chaos and conflict in the world. Continuous, endless battles.
All in all, this storm has been going on for many years and still has no result. The only biggest beneficiary is the Holy Fire Sect, which successfully got rid of the threat of Qian's family.
Hearing this, Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but smile.
It's no wonder that the people of the Holy Fire Sect didn't hesitate to borrow spiritual stones from Yu Fengqian. Even when there was news that he and Yu Fengqian had an affair, the Holy Fire Sect pretended not to know. This gratitude has always been remembered by the people of the Holy Fire Sect.
Arriving at Haimen Sand Island, Chen Huaisheng and Chen Jisheng checked into the Shenghuo Sect's inn here. They passed the news to Taohua Island through the inn staff and arranged for a boat or a plane to pick them up.
Taking advantage of this time, Chen Huaisheng and Chen Jisheng also visited Haimen Sand Island.
This is the largest sandbank island located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It is about fifteen miles long, about four miles wide at the middle, and only about one or two miles at the east and west ends. It is shaped like a peach stone.
The town on the Haimen sandbank is Haimen Town, which probably means the gate from the river to the sea.
The population of Shazhou is about five to six thousand, of which there are about three to four thousand in the town, which is not a small number. The rest of the population are fishermen.
There is the largest fish market in the Yangtze River estuary, and all kinds of spirit fish in the Yangtze River can be seen here. Therefore, it is also an important place for purchasing spirit fish for the Zongmen of Wuyue, Qiao and Sui counties.
However, it is different from the Donghe Fish Market in Hebei and the Dongfu Ghost Market in Nanchu. The fish market here is a pure bulk fish market, which means that whether it is local fishermen, foreign fishermen from the sea, or from Fishermen on the river can trade freely here without even paying any taxes.
Chen Huaisheng was also surprised by this situation. Don't the sects and aristocratic families like Wu Yue know how to control such a wealthy family? The constant flow of taxes every year is not a small amount, and it is also an important source of intelligence information.
Chen Jisheng obviously also understood the situation and explained to Chen Huaisheng.
This is a tradition left over from hundreds of years.
Although the line of Gein is the land of Wuyue, it is close to the East China Sea, so going north is the Canghai Sea, which is not too far away.
The tyrannical forces on the sea have gone through iterations for hundreds of years, but in every era there will be a few pirates who came from fishermen. They hate collecting taxes most. Therefore, starting from 800 years ago, Haimen Sandbank has been under the rule of law no matter which regime or clan it belongs to. Anyone under the control of a wealthy family would be attacked by these pirate forces from the East China Sea, and they would be attacked one after another.
At the same time, because this place is not far from Qiao and Sui, the cultivation forces from Qiao and Sui have been purchasing spiritual fish in this area for a long time, so they are strongly opposed to the establishment of tax cards, and even secretly funded the pirate forces to attack Wu Yue who wanted to set up tax cards. Cultivation sects and aristocratic families.
In the end, after hundreds of years of competition, the tax card for Haimen Shazhou was not established after all, which led to the current situation. It also made Haimen Shazhou the largest fish market in the East China Sea, Wuyue, and Qiaosui areas.
Of course, the inability to set up a tax card does not mean that the Wuyue Kingdom just left Haimen Sandbank alone. Almost all the sects and aristocratic families in Wuyue had shops and inns here, which served as their liaisons and eyes and ears here to keep abreast of developments.
For example, if fishermen from various places have any special catches, they can also get the news as soon as possible and buy them first.
"So, the pirates also have their own spies, or agents, in Haimen Sandbank?" Chen Huaisheng asked curiously.
"Of course." Chen Jisheng laughed, "You don't need to think about it to know that the larger pirate forces will definitely have their own people here, including Donghai and Canghai. Sometimes the sect family wants to contact the pirate forces, I will also bring the message through the eyeliner here.”
