Yongsui Mountain, Tiannian Peak.

This is the most central mountain peak in the Yongsui Mountains. From here, you can see the sea of ​​clouds curling up, Lin Haisensen, and the surrounding scenery.

For the past month, every morning, Tang Jie just guarded the top of the peak, looking out of thin air. It's a pity that he could not see the whole mountainous area even if he had the insight, and even Yiyi mobilized all the plants, but he didn't get anything.

The time in the recent months is fleeting, and Tang Jie's hopes are getting smaller and smaller.

On this day, Tang Jie was still sitting on the top of the peak and looking far away, without seeing any movement.

He sighed softly.

Yiila held the corner of Tang Jie's clothes and said, "Brother, we can't find Bao'er, right?"

"Perhaps." Tang Jie replied: "But one day, it may suddenly appear in front of us by itself."

"Do you think it is still alive?"

"I believe he is still alive."

Yiyi lowered his head and said nothing.

After a while, the little girl suddenly gritted her teeth and said: "It's all to blame for the Master Wei. If it weren't for him, Bao'er wouldn't be gone, or let's kill the Wei family!"

Tang Jie pinched Yiyi's face: "Little girl, don't be so murderous. The Wei family is kind to me, and I can't just attack the Wei family because of this."

"Does this matter?"

Tang Jie said indifferently, "Is it counted? God has his own arbitration."

"God? What kind of arbitration can God have?" Yiyi puzzled.

Tang Jie just said indifferently: "Yiyi, you go back to Canglong Mansion and release the news, saying that Tang Jie is missing because of a pet, and my life and death are unknown, which leads to frustration and has no intention of taking care of trivial matters. Of course, I, Tang Jie is still a member of the Wei family. If the life and death of the Wei family is involved, I will still be in the lead."

"Huh?" Yi Yi looked at Tang Jie in surprise.

She didn't understand why Tang Jie would do this in this situation, but Tang Jie said, "Remember what I said, when I arrived at the Canglong Mansion, I told everyone exactly what I said, so that most of the cultivators in Lingzhou, The family knows about this, do you understand?"

Yi Yi nodded blankly.

Tang Jie continued: "If you do this well, you can go to Shicheng. I heard that the wife's mother is very old and has a long life. Even if you use Yannian Yishou Pill, it will be useless. You go there to see, the old man pays for it. How long can it last. If you can support it for some time, I will go to Shaohua Mountain to find the head of the Yuanyang School, and say that my old lady of Tang Jie Dynasty is asking for a life-saving pill. As for the price, how much he wants, give He just owes it if it's not enough."

Yi Yi puzzled: "Although the life extension Dan can continue to live, but it will not be able to solve the difficulties, but the price is not cheap if the delay is delayed. The Wei family is so to you, how can you help them?"

"You just do it." Tang Jie still looks like he is not idle or indifferent: "The third thing is that I have a one-month appointment with Mu Yi. After you have done this, go back to Xiyue College, see Mu Yi, and tell Don’t hide what happened here, and then come back."

"Just talk about what happened here, don't talk about the others?"

"Yes, there is nothing else to say."

"Then what?" Yi Yi stared at Tang Jie blankly.

"Then..." Tang Jie whispered, "Then it's up to God's will."

On this day, Yi Yi left Tiannian Peak, but Tang Jie continued to search in the mountains.

This search took more than a month, and Tang Jie found nothing in the end, so he had to leave.

When he left, Xiaohu was still asleep in the underground cave; Xi Canhen left Weifu for more than a month; under the mediation of a group of disciples, the Xiyue Sect finally completed the final statistics and confirmed the contributions of Tang Jie and others. The name of the robbery was spread again, and the rewards of twenty million yuan of spiritual money were also spread throughout Wenxin's north and south.

Correspondingly, a not-so-good gossip came out.

Some people say that Tang Jie and Weifu fell out.

The reason is that Tang Jie openly claimed to ignore civil affairs-the biggest victim of this non-compliance with civil affairs is undoubtedly the Weifu.

Some well-informed people are even more eloquent, saying that the reason why Tang Jie is like this is because the Weifu was not able to rescue him. Tang Jie was dissatisfied, but he didn't want to turn his head against him, and fell infamy, so he had to deal with things negatively.

There were noses and eyes, which made some people in Weifu panic.

Wei Danbo was furious and said: "Absurd! Regardless of whether it is true or false, even if it is true, without him Tang Jie, Weifu still has my son Tianchong, he is the true biography of Guanrifeng! Besides, Tang Jie enrolls in school. In eight years, have you ever asked Weifu about everything? On the contrary, there are so many requests, why did my Weifu treat him badly? The so-called not to ignore it is purely inexplicable, he simply ignored it! The business of the government is all done by myself!"

This is correct. Tang Jie did not do anything for the sale of Weifu. For example, Wei Tianzhi and Wu Xing also participated in the family business, but Tang Jie did not even have ten years of semester, even if the future is full. It is even more impossible to do anything for the family if you want to join the Axiomists.

The problem is that the value of some people is not inherently reflected by doing things.

Tang Jie didn’t know what Tang Jie’s value was. His views were destined to have limitations, either exaggerated or reduced.

Because of this, he chose to leave it to God's will to make the decision, and let the facts weigh everything by themselves.

—————————

Yuhua School.

Han Tianji closed his eyes and meditated in the middle of the hall, with a young disciple standing in front of him.

"Is it confirmed?" he asked without raising his head.

The Yuhua disciple replied: "It has been confirmed that it was a little girl who came out of the news. Judging from her appearance, it should be the Yiyi who is next to Tang Gongzi. In addition, we have also bought several subordinates from the Weifu to confirm. The disappearance of Tang Jie's pet is true, and the Weifu did not act well in this matter."

In Han Tianji's left hand, a beautiful woman in palace clothes was sitting, and she also said at this moment. "But the most important thing is that until a few days ago, Tang Jie still stayed in the Yongsui Mountain area. It was two hills away from my Yuhua School. This is an ironclad fact. If nothing else, he would not in this way."

Her name is Yuan Qiaojun, the wife of Han Tianji, and one of the three days of heart of the Yuhua School.

"Hmm." Han Tianji snorted, touching his chin without knowing what he was thinking.

A middle-aged man next to his right hand said: "I don't know why the senior brother is so concerned about this matter. It is just that Tang Jie and his family are unhappy. The one with the Wei family, so it is said that if the life and death of the Wei family is involved, he will still make his head."

Hearing this, Han Tianji laughed hehe: "If it really is, it would be as simple as that."

The middle-aged man hurriedly asked, "Does the brother think that there is no secret in this matter?"

Han Tianji said leisurely: "If it's really negative retreat, why do you want to spread it around? If you don't care about sect affairs, do you just find a place to hide? Or are you shouting around, wishing that everyone in the world, including Qiu Shuyu and Shi Jingzhai, would know that, I The Yuhua faction will lose another Tianxin?"

Junior Brother Zuo was dull and speechless, and Han Tianji added: "That's right, I didn't forget to shout when I was notified: As long as it doesn't involve the life and death of the Yuhua Sect, everything has nothing to do with me."

The middle-aged beautiful woman covered her mouth and chuckled, "Speaking of which, the Shimen faction still exists now."

Existing in name only exists, it also exists!

Junior Brother Zuo suddenly realized: "It turns out that Tang Jie is causing misfortune for the Wei family!"

"It may not be a disaster." Han Tianji shook his head again: "After all, the Wei family is just a family of mortals, not a cultivator of immortals. Cultivators put strength first, so they meet each other at every turn. Mortals put money first, so business disputes. Endlessly."

"If that's the case, it won't matter." Junior Brother Zuo disdainfully said. As a cultivator, he naturally disdains ordinary gold and silver.

"Under normal circumstances, it's nothing." Han Tianji said with a smile.

"En? What does Senior Brother Master mean?" Junior Brother Zuo looked at Han Tianji in confusion.

Han Tianji didn't answer, but just looked at his wife: "Qiaojun once raised a pet dog. You know the love of pets the most, so you might as well talk to the younger brother."

Yuan Qiaojun gave her husband a blank look, and replied lazily: "What can I say, my father was devoted to cultivation and had no time to accompany me. I was deep in the mountains and bored and lonely. It was you who gave me a puppy that day. I support it. Since then, I have regarded this dog as a life, named Zhener, and never leave my body on weekdays. When I see people who are addicted to dog meat, I also hate it."

That Junior Brother Zuo started late, I don't know Yuan Qiaojun still has such things, and said in surprise: "Senior Sister actually loves Ruosi the dog, and even cares about other people eating dog meat? No wonder you never eat dog meat in your life."

Yuan Qiaojun gave him a white look: "You don't have a dog, and you don't understand the heart of dog owners."

Then Junior Brother Zuo was in grief and indignation: "You don't eat dog meat, you don't know how delicious dog meat is!"

Yuan Qiaojun stared at once, but Han Tianji stopped him: "Don't go far."

Yuan Qiaojun was relieved and said, "However, Zhen'er is just a dog with a limited lifespan. If I use up the elixir for it, it will only survive for thirty years and eventually die."

An ordinary dog ​​usually only lives about ten years old. Junior Brother Zuo heard that letting a dog live to thirty years old is like increasing the life of a dog to three hundred years old. I don’t know how much elixir she has squandered to do this. I sigh in my heart, but dare not speak.

Yuan Qiaojun continued: "After Zhen'er died, I was sad for many days. From then on, I no longer want to raise a dog. I became frustrated. On the contrary, I realized that I was innocent and my strength improved by leaps and bounds."

Junior Brother Zuo heard that because of a dog illuminating the law, she only felt that her life was gloomy, the world was difficult, and people were inferior to dogs.

It was Han Tianji who took the topic back to the right path: "I said this, just to let you know that Tang Jie lost his love to the tiger because of Wei Danbo, and his heart was mostly very angry. When you understand this feeling, you will be angry with him. I'm afraid I can understand a lot of things I have done."

If Junior Brother Zuo realized something: "Senior Brother meant..."

Han Tianji replied: "Tang Jie was born in the Wei family and was favored by the Wei family. Although he had repaid, he is still a member of the Wei family. No matter how generous his rewards are, no matter how affectionate Wei Danbo is, Neither can be the reason for him to turn around and kill the Wei family! So the only thing he can do is to be passive, that is, to stop serving the Wei family. It is also to be discouraged. But this is only from a theoretical point of view. If it is emotionally... Qiaojun, if Zhen'er was killed by someone back then, how would you treat that person?"

Yuan Qiaojun widened his eyes: "Who dares? I fought him!"

Han Tianji said leisurely: "I think Tang Jie must have wanted to fight Wei Danbo very much at that time."

Junior Brother Zuo completely understood: "Unfortunately, he can't do this after all. There are many things in this world, and they can only choose the same reason and emotion."

Han Tianji said: "Tang Jie chose reason, but regretted his emotions. If someone did something he wanted to do but couldn't do at this time, he would be very grateful."

"Brother Mingjian!" The Junior Brother Zuo's eyes suddenly brightened, and then he thought about it and said: "But Tang Jie final is just a student who hasn't started yet. Is it worth the effort to help him?"

"A student who has not yet started?" Han Tianji laughed: "It is this student who has not yet started. He is backhanded, killing Gu Changqing and destroying Yingtang; it is this student who has covered his hands for rain and forced a waste of firewood. It’s the true story; it’s still this student who will shine at the Fairy Fate, and now the Shimen Sect has been wiped out, and tens of millions of money have been started. Junior brother, don’t say you couldn’t do it like this, even now, you can’t do it. Has he accomplished this way?"

Junior Brother Zuo nodded awkwardly.

Han Tianji said: "Besides, it's just a small mortal family that makes things difficult for a small mortal family. Do you need any effort? What do you do if you don't do such a profitable business?"

Junior Brother Zuo was sincerely convinced: "Brother wise!"

Although Han Tianji didn't think exactly the same as Tang Jie, one thing he guessed right was that Tang Jie did see this possibility.

In other words, he himself is also intentionally or unintentionally turning the possibility into reality.

No matter what era, expansion cannot be solved with money.

In the Paleo-Earth era, the extent of business expansion was closely related to the protection/umbrella that bureaucrats could provide, and in the Qixia world, it was directly related to the scope of influence of the cultivator.

Having a spiritualist means that a town is dominated by a spiritualist, and the influence can reach the city. Tianxin is the state, Zifu is the country, and Sendai is the boundary.

This kind of thing is not a certain rule, but it is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Everyone silently abides by it. Sometimes it may be nothing to go beyond. If you step too far, you have to be careful.

The Wei family employs spiritual masters, and buyers and sellers can be scattered throughout the Canglong Mansion. They are considered to be a good big family in the Canglong Mansion, but they dare not easily step out of the Canglong Mansion.

It wasn't until Wei Tian Chong became a true biography that the pace of Wei Jia's expansion suddenly increased, and it began to spread to the entire Lingzhou area, even in a small area within the territory of Lebanon, but the main business direction was still in Lingzhou.

This is mainly because, although Wei Tianchong is not yet Tianxin, as Yan Changfeng’s apprentice, his influence is comparable to that of Tianxin. In addition to the Tang Jie, he has become famous for several times. Ling Du got it and waited until the ten-year period expired, so he was basically regarded as a quasi-state family by default.

In this respect, how big a family can expand depends directly on how many practitioners it supports. If you do not have enough strength to develop yourself into a behemoth, you will easily become fat in the eyes of others. This is why the practitioners are important. They are like the army to the country, where the iron hoof is the source of money. Endless place!

But now, an army is about to be disarmed.

The most powerful trump card army is coming back!

This undoubtedly affects the hearts of many people.

Unlike Han Tianji's Kanba Misuan, who took the opportunity to sell well, most people's thinking is actually much simpler. When the news of Tang Jie came, all they understood was one thing:

One of the two pillars supporting Wei's family has fallen!

Doing business is like a tall building. The higher the floor, the deeper the foundation required, the thicker the pillars used to support it, and the heavier the force it bears.

On the occasion of this expansion, a pillar is suddenly missing, and the expansion originally caused by this is also destined to rebound.

Interestingly, the Gu family was the first to rebound. At that time, Tang Jie hadn't even left Yongsui Mountain.

Weifu study.

Wei Danbo sat in front of the case with a gloomy expression, and said to a middle-aged man in a green robe standing in front of him: "You say it again!"

The middle-aged man was Wei Qingsong, Wei Die's father. He did not hesitate to say: "Gu Chongxuan said that the ancient family is suffering from a serious illness. Please delay the delivery."

"Pop!" Gu Danbo slapped his hand on the book case: "How could it suddenly change on the set delivery date? My ancient family has been preparing for this for a long time, mobilizing countless human and financial resources, just for this day. He said the patriarch Seriously, these three escorts, five casinos, and fourteen shops will all be given up?"

Wei Qingsong smiled bitterly: "Gu Liangde's old and immortal body has always been so tight, how could he suddenly become seriously ill, it's just an excuse, mostly because of Tang..."

He didn't go on, but Wei Danbai already understood what he meant: "You mean to say that the ancient family feels that there is no Tang Jie, so why can't we stop them and start repenting the deal we made before?"

"Probably so." Wei Qingsong said.

Wei Danbo said angrily: "This is crossing the river to demolish the bridge!"

At the beginning, the ancient family was selling goods for the Shimen faction. After the incident, the ancient family inevitably became known as collaborating with the enemy and treason. Finally, they were decisive and promptly pushed out the person who was in charge of the time as a substitute for the dead, and then interceded through the Wei family. Because of this, the Wei family had loaned out the business way, and didn't want to involve the ancient family too deeply, so as not to drag herself into the water at that time, so after receiving a large amount of benefits, he went to Tang Jieweitian to turn the matter around.

At the beginning, the ancient family gave a lot of benefits, except for the large sums of gold and silver jewelry, which were the agreed shops. These days, when I checked the shops and prepared to receive them, the Wei family had already made preparations. Unexpectedly, the Gu family regretted not selling it when things were about to come.

Wei Qingsong said: "This is not the first time that people from the ancient family have crossed the river and demolished a bridge. People like them can kneel down and call grandpa for you when they lose power, and they can lift themselves up to the sky when they gain power. It’s a must. They can do things that others can’t show their face. For so many years, don’t they rely on this to become a five-man? Now it’s just a repeat of history."

Wei Danbo's face was green: "They are so sure. Without Tang Jie, how can we do them?"

Wei Qingsong replied: "That might not be the case. The people of the ancient family didn't say not to sell, but only said that it would be put off for a while. From this point of view, they are also not sure whether we can do anything with them."

"Not sure yet dare to be so arrogant?"

Wei Qingsong replied: "It may not be arrogant at all, it is just related to the ancient family's foundation, so they cannot take risks. After all, the courage to protect their own property is always greater than that of snatching others' property, not to mention that they still have leeway. This is still a temptation. Mainly. What really worries you is that ~lightnovelpub.net~ has been passed on about receiving the ancient family industry. Once the matter cannot be handled properly, I am afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"All imitators!"

Hearing this, Wei Danbo also took a breath.

He looked at his second brother: "Then what do you mean?"

Wei Qingsong replied: "Let the sky rush to take action, and use the momentum of thunder to give a severe lesson to the ancient family."

"But the Gu family just refused to sell the shops, so we let Tian Chong make a move. If this is to be spread, it is not the Gu family's rebellion, but our Wei family's tyrannical seizure!"

"That's no way. Otherwise, it's not enough to deter Xiao Xiao. We must let them know that without Tang Jie, we still have Wei Tianchong."

Wei Danbo immediately said: "Then why not wait for those Xiao Xiao to jump out before giving a lesson, Wei Jia's reputation must not be lost, and he is famous as a teacher!"

"I'm afraid it will be late then."
