Main Text Chapter 74 Donglai Cave Master (XII)
"Of course I know this. If we go to grab other people's territory now, I'm afraid that if we don't grab the territory, we will cause others to grab our territory."
With a hint of self-deprecation, Miao Yi shook his head, turned around and sat on the thick velvet couch, and asked, "What do you think of us taking a trip to Xingxiu Sea?"
"Xingxiu Sea?" Yan Xiu's eyes widened suddenly. He was the one who told Miao Yi about this place. "Why are you going to Xingxiu Sea? That's the demon kingdom of Demon Saint Ji Huan! Xingxiu Sea is a place where demons roam freely. Almost all the human monks who break into there never come back."
"Didn't you say that all demon elixirs of lower grade can be replaced with a Thousand People's Wish Power Bead?" Miao Yi asked.
This was indeed what Yan Xiu told him after witnessing Yang Qing's battle with Lu Yu last time.
Demon pills and Yin pills can be refined into magic weapons, which are also the source of power in magic weapons. However, magic weapons are magic weapons after all, and they cannot be cultivated by themselves. Every time they are used, the energy contained in them will be reduced. The more powerful they are used, the more energy they consume. The more powerful it is, the more energy it needs to be replenished.
Therefore, low-level demon pills and the like have become the best energy supplement source for magical weapons. If there is a market, they will naturally have value. It can be exchanged for money or wish beads.
Yan Xiu was frightened and said: "Cave Master, what you call finding another way out is not that you want to go hunting in Xingxiu Sea, right?"
"Haha, I just said it casually. I saw you were nervous, so I was joking." Miao Yi said haha in a perfunctory manner.
After asking Yan Xiu to retreat, he entered his training room with his hands behind his back to check.
This is an underground space. It is not small. It is paved with thick polished stones and has walls lined with copper stoves and oil lamps. The brightness is moderate.
In front of a stone couch for meditation, there are three large jade bathing pools with jade carvings of animal heads spitting water. One pool leads to the mountain spring, the other to the hot spring, and the two springs meet in the other pool, mixing the water with the right temperature. The pool water is a good place to bathe.
Miao Yi took off his clothes and soaked in the pool, feeling so comfortable that he hummed...
Early the next morning, Miao Yi, accompanied by a group of subordinates from Donglai Cave, came to the mountain gate to inspect the newly built mountain gate archway.
Miao Yi was delighted when he saw it. Hiding in the quiet room last night, he could vaguely hear the clanging sound of axes and chisels for almost the whole night. Six monks worked together all night, and the arch they built was indeed extraordinary. .
There are four primary and secondary pillars and three entrances. The main entrance is more than three feet high, with reliefs of lifelike birds and animals, auspicious clouds lingering in the middle, and three eye-catching characters "Donglai Cave" written on it. There are stone sculptures of a coiled dragon and a crouching tiger guarding the left and right below.
The entire Shanmen Archway is extraordinary, tall and eye-catching. Miao Yi nodded in approval and said: "Yes, yes, it is more impressive than the Shanmen Archway in Nanxuan Mansion. It seems that the people from the Donglai Cave are good masons even if they are not practicing."
Seeing that he likes it, the disciples of Lan Yumen who were afraid that he would deliberately make things difficult were relieved. They racked their brains for this archway last night.
After hearing what the cave master said, everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere among them instantly became much harmonious.
Who would have thought that Miao Yi pointed at their blue clothes again, "Why do you look so dazzling in your clothes? People who don't understand think that I am from Donglai Cave. I don't know what you are wearing when you go back to Lan Yumen." I think it’s better to unify the colors of the clothes in Donglai Cave. Yan Xiu, go back to the city and find a tailor to change everyone’s clothes into black.”
"Yes!" Yan Xiu accepted the order with his hands raised.
The Lan Yumen disciples looked at each other.
Miao Yi didn't care whether they were happy or not. He put his hands behind his back and continued to stare at the archway to admire it.
While everyone was circling the archway admiring it, Yan Xiu suddenly pointed to the mountain path ahead by the lake and said: "Master of the Cave, it should be the Lord of Donglai City who is here."
Everyone looked around and saw a group of people winding their way along the mountain road beside the lake. There were many people carrying sedans, as well as carts and horses, and they seemed to have brought a lot of things.
Miao Yi just glanced casually, but his eyes were fixed on the big lake at the foot of the mountain. He said, "Yan Xiu, get some more fish and shrimps to put in the lake later."
Yan Xiu took the order and knew that this was probably prepared for Heitan. That guy was different from other dragon colts. He liked to eat fresh fish and shrimps and play in water. With such a big lake here, it turned into Heitan. paradise.
"Prince Fa, arrange for a person to guard the gate. From now on, you will be responsible for arranging personnel for the mountain gate. If someone smashes it again, I will question you! The others return to the main hall." Miao Yi waved his hands and turned away. It is not worth it for the city lord to come from the east. Everyone stands here to greet him.
Wang Zifa was not so blind, so he would not arrange for the cave master's cronies, Yan Xiu, and others to guard the mountain gate, leaving Shang You, a fellow sect member, on duty.
Not long after the others returned to Donglai Hall and waited, Xu Xinliang, the fat-headed and big-eared lord of Donglai City, had already arrived at the mountain gate, climbed down from his horse, and politely asked Shang to report again.
No announcement was needed. The cave owner already knew that they were coming, and Shang came and let them in.
No one dared to enter on horseback anymore, all the mounts were placed outside, and only a large amount of supplies pulled by carts and horses followed Xu Xinliang and stopped in the square outside the hall.
There were also sixteen sedans carried by bearers, which were gently lowered. No one dared to neglect them. Inside were all the maids who were given to the immortals.
It is an old rule for a monk to have two maids. The rules of the spiritual world will not allocate more to you. If every monk wants more, with their ability to come and go without leaving a trace, the worldly women are not enough to waste, and the impact will be on the believers. If you become a believer, you will lose your will power, and you will naturally need to be restrained.
No one else was allowed to enter the hall without permission. Only Xu Xinliang, the city lord from the east who was wearing official robes and wiped his sweat, gingerly carried a box and went up the steps.
It's not that he's afraid of what the immortal will do to him, but every time the Donglai Cave changes its owner, it's the most insecure time for him as the city lord. If the cave lord doesn't like you, he might replace you.
In the hall, Yan Xiu and others stood on the left and right. Xu Xinliang, who entered with a box in his arms, didn't dare to look up. He lowered his head and walked to his position. He immediately put down the heavy box, knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Donglai City Lord Xu Xinliang pays homage to the cave master!"
Sitting high up, Miao Yi smiled and said: "Cave Master Xu, we meet again."
City Lord Xu was stunned when he heard this, looked up, and found that he looked a little familiar. Then he suddenly realized that it was the immortal who saved Mrs. Ji. He didn't expect that he was the new Donglai Cave Lord. The new cave master looked so young!
"Get up and talk!" Miao Yi raised his hand to support him.
City Lord Xu immediately got up, took out a small box from his sleeve, and held it up together with the box and presented it to him, "Cave Lord, this is a little gift from the people of Donglai City, I hope you can accept it."
After what happened with Chief Huang, Miao Yi knew what was inside without even looking at it, and nodded slightly to Yan Xiu, who immediately walked over to take the thing.
