Text Chapter 21: Newcomers (I)

The next afternoon, the ship docked at the dock of Donglai City in the fairyland.

The dock was busy and noisy, and the fishy and salty smell of loading and unloading sea goods was everywhere.

Madam Ji's uncle had sent a carriage to greet them at the dock. After the two sides met, they specially emptied a carriage for Miao Yi to ride.

As soon as they set off from the dock, someone galloped away quickly to report to Madam Ji's uncle.

The convoy was still halfway and had not yet reached Donglai City. Miao Yi, who was sitting in the carriage and opened the curtains to look out, moved his ears and heard a galloping sound that was heavier than the average horse hoof sound. He was not unfamiliar with this sound. It seemed like the sound of a cultivator riding a dragon horse and running.

He was not wrong. He had heard the excited voice of the housekeeper, "Madam, the uncle is here in person."

Miao Yi stretched his head out of the window and saw the dust flying in front of him, and two dragon horses galloping furiously.

Before the convoy could stop, two dragon horses rushed over like thunder, raised their hooves suddenly, and suppressed the momentum. A middle-aged monk sat firmly on the dragon horse, with two swords on his back, and his eyes swept over the convoy, frightening the servants of the convoy.

Behind the middle-aged monk was a white-haired monk holding a long-handled broadsword. He looked quite old, but from the looks of it, he looked like a subordinate of the middle-aged monk.

Miao Yi estimated that the middle-aged monk was Mrs. Ji's uncle, otherwise it would not be the one behind who brought his superiors to welcome his niece.

Miao Yi's eyes fell on the mighty dragon horses ridden by the two people, and he was somewhat envious.

Dragon horses are the most commonly ridden spiritual beasts by cultivators. They look similar to ordinary horses in appearance, but their bodies are half the size of ordinary horses. They are also called dragon horses. Legend has it that they are descendants of dragons and celestial horses. It is said that dragon horses with pure blood can evolve into real dragons if they have the opportunity.

In addition to being half the size of an ordinary horse, it has a strong skin and thick flesh. The important parts of its head, body and limbs are protected by natural hard armor bones, just like wearing armor. Ordinary swords and knives can hardly hurt it. Its load-bearing capacity, impact force and jumping ability are all amazing.

Its tail is like a snake's tail, smooth and hairless, with long sharp serrations, and it is an omnivore.

There are two curly whiskers on its neck and back in the wavy mane, which can be retracted. After connecting with the body of the monk who controls it, the two sides can communicate silently. The monk can control it without controlling the reins. It is the most common spiritual beast for practitioners.

The dragon colt is extremely powerful and can walk through mountains and rivers as if walking on flat ground. It can run continuously for several days at a very fast speed. It is not a problem to travel a thousand miles a day. It cannot be controlled by non-practitioners. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to control the dragon horse with reins and brute force.

The hooves of the dragon colt, as big as a casserole, clanged and slammed on the ground, with an amazing momentum. The fierce aura it exuded made the horses in the caravan silent and bowed their heads obediently, not daring to approach.

Compared with the monks sitting on the dragon colt, the people sitting on the horses were much shorter, naturally because the dragon colt was taller.

The team members quickly got off the carriage and saluted, and Mrs. Ji's accompanying housekeeper was originally sent by the uncle. At this time, he lifted the curtain and helped Mrs. Ji, who was holding the child, get off the carriage.

"Uncle, this is your niece, and this is uncle!" The housekeeper helped Mrs. Ji introduce the two parties.

"Xiufang greets uncle." Mrs. Ji bowed and saluted while holding the child.

Uncle got off Longju and personally helped Madam Ji up. He nodded repeatedly, his eyes slightly red as he said, "Looks like, looks like, looks like your sister. It's my fault as an uncle. I should have sent someone to look for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't..."

"Uncle..." Madam Ji choked up, trembling with tears, probably thinking of the misfortune at home.

Uncle touched the sleeping child in Madam Ji's arms and comforted her, "Don't cry, talk about it when you get back." He raised his hand to signal the housekeeper to help her get on the car.

He turned around and climbed onto Longju again, staring at Miao Yi who stuck his head out to watch.

Longju, who was in tune with him, immediately walked to the carriage behind him. His uncle asked condescendingly, "Is the one who saved my niece on the ship a friend?"

Miao Yi got out of the carriage, stood on the shaft and replied, "It was just a small favor!"

"I'm Chen Fei, may I know your name?" As Mrs. Ji's uncle Chen Fei spoke, a white lotus with three petals lit up between his eyebrows, revealing his cultivation of the third rank of white lotus, which meant that he was making friends without any ill intentions.

"Miao Yi!" Miao Yi cast a spell, and a white lotus with one petal appeared between his eyebrows, revealing his identity.

Fed Chen nodded and said, "It's inconvenient to say more here. I'll thank you when we return to the city!"

Longju turned around and drove Chen Fei away again. He also heard that his niece encountered pirates at sea, so he came to see her. Now that he saw that his niece was fine, he felt relieved to go back. Otherwise, it would be too ostentatious for a cultivator to ride Longju to escort a convoy.

The white-haired monk followed closely behind him and left...

The convoy entered Donglai City, where a mansion and servants were waiting.

After the carriages stopped, Miao Yi was not neglected. A bunch of maids and servants followed his orders and arranged a good courtyard.

Bathing in fragrant water, and a pretty maid helped him bathe and change clothes. This treatment made Miao Yi a little uncomfortable because he had never enjoyed it before.

After night fell, a table full of delicious food was set, and Mrs. Ji's uncle Chen Fei also appeared again. He bowed and said, "Brother Miao, please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

"You're welcome." Miao Yi also bowed.

Chen Fei seemed very enthusiastic and sat down with Miao Yi. There was no one else to accompany him, and it was not easy for ordinary people to sit and eat with two monks.

It was inevitable to thank Miao Yi again for saving his niece, and then Chen Fei sighed and lamented his unfilial behavior of leaving home at a young age.

After chatting about family matters and eliminating the unfamiliarity and estrangement between the two sides, Chen Fei asked while pouring wine for Miao Yi: "I wonder which envoy brother Miao is serving under?"

"..." Miao Yi was stunned and really didn't understand.

Chen Fei was also stunned when he saw him like that, and then he suddenly realized, laughed and said he was guilty, and explained it himself.

There are six people with the highest cultivation in the cultivation world, collectively known as the "Six Saints of Heaven and Earth", and the Immortal Kingdom belongs to the territory of Immortal Saint Mu Fanjun.

In order to facilitate the collection of willpower and the management of billions of believers in the country, there will be twelve cultivators with profound magic power, namely Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai, twelve envoys, guarding each side, and these twelve envoys must be appointed by Immortal Saint Mu Fanjun.

Each group of lords governs ten palaces, each palace governs ten halls, each hall governs ten prefectures, each prefecture governs ten mountains, and each mountain governs ten caves.

‘Cave’ is the most basic unit. Under normal circumstances, a cave master can govern at least 100,000 believers. If he has the ability to have more believers, it would be better.

For example, the city where Miao Yi’s hometown is located has a population of 100,000. There is an immortal cave in the mountains far away from the city.
