Vol 5 Chapter 8: Yamagata water potential

Thousands of rivers and valleys, in the southeast of the Tiandu Mountains, gather into the vast Qingjiang River, winding to the southeast.
Down the river, traveling five to six thousand miles in twists and turns, and into the Xize Sea, it enters the realm of the Central Region.
After receiving the talisman from Cetianfu, Chen Xun would have to rush to Xuanjing to perform his duties within half a year if he had no other reason.
It took tens of thousands of miles from Wushan to Xuanjing, and Chen Xun's flight took only ten and a half months.
Chen Xun set off from Wushan early and rushed to Tiandu Mountain where the Xuantu Jiaoshan Gate is located, and discussed the supply of Qingyan Lotus Arrows, Xuan Thunder Chariot and other equipment with Chu Yuezhen, the deacon and elder of Xuantu Jiao.
In the battle of the Thousand Demon Sand Sea, after the green flame lotus arrow shined brightly, many of Yunzhou's refining sects, including Cetian Palace, created many new arrows such as the sky flame thunder arrow and the sword explosion flame arrow. The power of the magic weapon is not even under the Qingyan Lotus Arrow, but the refining method is much more complicated than the Qingyan Lotus Arrow, and it is difficult to mass produce.
The refining of the green flame lotus arrow is much simpler. First, ordinary craftsmen cast a large number of blank arrows, and then the disciples of Kuilong Pavilion inject the green flame lotus fire into the blank arrows.
Only in the later period, Cetian Palace and Northwest Territory Duhu Palace began to strictly control the flow of Jiuyou Iron, which greatly increased the cost of casting blank arrows, and Kuilong Pavilion could not bear it for a while.
In the past few years, Canglan has opened more than 500 mines, but the output of Jiuyou Iron is extremely limited. It can only smelt less than 200,000 jin of Jiuyou Iron each year.
Although the northern region controlled by the Xuantu Sect is a very cold place and the output of elixir is not high, the area is extremely vast, dozens of times that of Canglan, and it is also rich in gold and iron. Output, every year almost six hundred to seven hundred thousand catties of Jiuyou Iron are secretly imported into Canglan to exchange chariots and magic circles.
Although Xuandu Sect had always hoped to obtain a large number of Qingyanlian arrows, the Four Sects and the Canglan Hou Mansion had been under great pressure to prepare for battle, and the refined Qingyanlian arrows could only be output in a small amount.
The Moxu mouth is now completely destroyed. The millions of demons entrenched in the Heiyin Ridge of the Northern Territory have naturally become the greatest threat to the sects of the Northern and Northwest Territories. Will greatly expand the supply to the Northern Territory sects such as Xuandu Sect.
Chen Xun stayed in Tiandu Mountain for three days, but could not see the face of Master Xuandu Master Yang Kun.
True Monarch Ku'an, the elder of the Xuantu Teacher, suffered heavy losses in the battle of Lao Longtan, and had not been able to fully recover his cultivation level after 40 years of retreat, and Chen Xun could not bother him.
After he negotiated with Chu Yuezhen to exchange 20,000 Qingyan Lotus Arrows for 1 million catties of Jiuyou Iron every year, he went directly to Jiangcheng at the foot of Tiandu Mountain, took a river boat, and went south along Qingjiang to Xuanjing. Go to office.
At the time of autumn and winter, the floods have receded, wild persimmon trees grew on both sides, and autumn frost dyed golden red leaves, as if large clouds of summer clouds stopped on the cliff mountains on both sides of the Qingjiang River.
This river ship is more than 20 meters long, and it is considered an extremely rare big ship in Qingjiang. The bottom compartment is full of products near Tiandu Mountain, and it is intended to be transported to the counties of the Central Region for sale.
There are also three levels of cabins on the deck. This time, there are dozens of people in a business trip like Chen Xun's towing family and servants.
The ship’s owner Zhou Chuan was an outer disciple of the Xuantu Sect. Although he was only able to cultivate in the middle stage of the womb, the boatmen under his hands are all strong and strong, and most of them have the foundation in the middle and late stages of the True Yang stage. It is not afraid of the harassment of the ordinary water bandits and Jiang bandits.
Chen Xun took black tea, Beixuanjia, Chihai, and Snake Wuxin, dressed as officials and eunuchs who traveled the world, and went south on a river boat. They were idle on the boat and sat on the stern deck every day. The green bamboo sticks out of the ship's side, and the fishing hook hangs into the turbulent river water, fishing for river fish.
"My son, you can really understand the way by looking at the mountains and waters on both sides of the strait every day?"
The black tea lay on the side of the ship, watching the turbulent river water at the stern, but his delicate face was an innocent and curious model, turning his head to ask Chen Xun.
"There is a real intention here, and I have forgotten to argue." Chen Xun said with a Zen opportunity.
"The son doesn't want to tell Black Tea, just leave it alone." Black Tea curled his lips, stood up straight with his waist, and went back to the cabin.
Chen Xun laughed, looking at the black tea in a double bun, wearing a goose yellow skirt with multicolored silk threads tied around her waist, her body is slender, she is a childish, naive and beautiful girl, where can I see the slightest bit of her body The monstrous breath of Demon Flame?
Chen Xun summoned Zuo Qingmu, Zhou Yang, Su Shousi, and Hu Taiyan in Wushan to deduct the Lingchi Magic Array, and it took only eight years to achieve success; Black Tea, Beixuanjia, Snake Wuxin, Chihai, and A Qing have spent the past eight years Then concentrate on cultivating the Sky Demon Forming Technique.
A Qing and Firefox have too little roots, and they continue to stay in Wushan to practice.
Black tea, Snake Wuxin, Golden Wolf, and Chi Hai have made small achievements in the cultivation of the sky demon's form, and they are already in the stage of refining the sun and transforming the form.
Every day when the yang energy is getting stronger, they can transform into human form, but after nightfall, when the profound yin energy is getting stronger, they will return to their original form.
According to different levels of mental maturity, when black tea was transformed into human form, it was only twelve or thirteen-year-old. During the sailing activities, they were all dressed as Chen Xun's maid.
Jin Langhua became a yellow-faced youth with sharp eyes, Chi Haihua became a thin-faced youth with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek, and Snake Wuxin was like a dull middle-aged man, all dressed as Chen Xun's follow-up.
The Beixuanjia is refined by the primordial vitality of the Great Meng and the vitality of the fairy spirit in the Void Yuanzhu. The roots and bones are no worse than the black tea and Snake Wuxin. More importantly, the soul of the Beixuanjia is transformed by the soul of the immortal. , Cultivating the Sky Demon Refining Form Art has reached the realm of great achievement.
Except for the night of the full moon and the time when the power of the lunar yin is at its peak, it will return to its original form, Beixuanjia can already cultivate in a human body.
Bei Xuanjia’s transformed body, eight feet tall, handsome, handsome, dressed in breastplate, a long sword on his waist, and a halberd in his hands, dressed as Chen Xun’s guard, but his aura is like a mountain, totally unrecognizable. Like a follower.
Chen Xun's understanding of Taoism is too complicated, and there are signs of confusion, and higher levels of Dao realm are not so easy to enter. At this time, he should slow down the rhythm of cultivation as much as possible, love the landscape, and think about the mountains and waters. Enlightenment and seek truth in the process, looking for the integration of many complex Taoism.
The river boat sailed down the water, and even if it could travel thousands of miles a day, he didn't know when he would arrive at Xuanjing.
Chen Xun was at ease on the boat and regarded the lonely and light journey as part of his practice.
After Ajin and Chi Hai were transformed into human forms, they saw the world with a new perspective, and were full of curiosity about everything, but they turned back to their original form after nightfall, and it was somewhat painful.
The Xuanyuan Spiritual Land is building a ridge from the mirage dragon bones, which is extremely unstable. A large amount of spiritual energy needs to be introduced from the external spiritual veins to maintain the balance of the aura in the beads and cannot be carried with him. Chen Xun left the Xuanyuan beads in Wushan.
The black tea and the others turned back to their original form at night, their small cabins could not fit their huge monster bodies, and there was no Xu Yuanzhu to hold on, so they could only squeeze into the Purple Night Thunder Tower to shelter at night.
The Zixiao Thunder Tower is six feet high and consists of seven layers, each less than one feet high. Chihai and Golden Wolf monster bodies are three to four feet high, and they can only shrink their bones and squeeze into the Zixiao Thunder Tower to suffer.
The black tea returned to its original shape, and the demon's body was five or six feet tall, and could barely stay in the cabin overnight.
Snake Wuxin turned into its original form, the body of a spirit fox, only slightly taller than Chen Xun and Bei Xuan Jia, and it was more harmless to stay in the cabin.
Therefore, Chi Hai and Golden Wolf had a great deal of opinions about traveling by boat, but they didn't know that Chen Xun wanted to use this to erase their demonic nature.
Chen Xun was about to test the techniques that black tea had learned in the past few days, and his mind was slightly shaken. He heard the ship owner Zhou Chuan walking towards the stern deck and turned to look over calmly.
Zhou Chuan glanced at the black tea first, thinking that this girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, she would have such a natural beauty, and she would have grown up in two or three years.
"Young Master Chen, he will be in the Xize Sea in another half day. There is an eye in the depths of the Xize Sea, which is connected to countless underground rivers under the ground. From time to time, monsters and monsters enter the Xize Sea through the eye, harming the people along the coast. It’s also a catastrophe. Zhou Chuan came here to tell him that if there is a case, I hope Master Chen can prepare in advance." Zhou Chuan said politely, but his eyes looked expectantly at Chen Xun’s face. .
Zhou Chuan never took a business trip with unknown origin, but this Young Master Chen was introduced by an elder of the Shimen, and his identity was naturally not a problem.
For two or three months, although the young man in front of him had fun fishing every day, he couldn't see any cultivation skills, but the four followers around him felt unpredictable.
Zhou Chuan thought, if he enters Nishizawa Sea and encounters any tyrannical fish and beasts, he hopes that the four followers around Chen Gongzi can help him.
Chen Xun also knew Zhou Chuan's thoughts, and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou for telling me, we will be careful."
Nishizawa Sea is seven or eight thousand miles long from north to south, and three or four thousand miles wide from east to west. If it is placed on the earth, it is definitely a vast ocean, but in the vast expanse of Yunzhou, the six or seven million square kilometers of Nishizawa Sea, only It can be regarded as a very large inland lake.
The Nishizawa Sea is the natural boundary between the Northern Territory, the Northwest Territory, and the Central Territory. Entering the Xize Sea is the Zhonglu counties directly under the jurisdiction of the Jiang family and Cetianfu.
Chen Xun's original plan was to go to Xuanjing by land after crossing the Xize Sea by boat.
When the ship was still three to four hundred miles away from the Nishizawa Sea, three monks wearing purple robes flew together and said, "The waterway ahead is broken, and the upstream ship approached quickly."
These three purple monks have the cultivation base of returning to the pinnacle of the womb, hanging above the rough river, the sound is like a bell, melodious; look at the robes they wear, the sleeves are embroidered with a small green dragon flying into the sky pattern.
This is the unique logo of Cetian Palace.
"Didn't you say that Xi Zehai is the counties of Central Lu, why are there monks from Ce Tianfu in the lower Qingjiang River?" Bei Xuan Jia looked at Chen Xun in confusion.
The soul of Beixuanjia was transformed by the soul of the Beidou immortal, and his thinking was no different from the human race. He has been in Wushan these years, reading the scrolls, and is very clear about the situation in Yunzhou.
In those days, when the Seven Sects helped the Jiang clan expel the Ji clan, it was not just to be a good person, but to rule Yunzhou with the Jiang clan.
The Jiang family nominally owns the highest governance power in Yunzhou, but in fact, apart from the southern Xinjiang counties where the Jiang family originated and the Zhonglu counties where the Yunzhou ancestral line is directly under the jurisdiction of Cetianfu, the sects and local affairs of the other seven regions , The seven cases are dominant.
Cetian Palace has millions of elite generals and soldiers in the counties of southern Xinjiang and Central Lu, but unless the seven sects ask for it, the generals of Cetian Palace cannot easily enter the territory of the seven regions.
Even in the Seven Regions, there are a large number of Jiang’s children to entrust the prefectures, and the prefectures also have a large number of private military generals, but they are not directly related to Ce Tian Fu, and they will not embroider Ce Tian Fu’s blue dragon logo on the armor. Above the robe.
After the collapse of Shenxiaozong, the sects of the Northwest Territory had no leaders, and the counties were severely destroyed by the skeletons of the dragons and millions of demons. Only then did Ce Tianfu formally establish the Protectorate in the Northwest Territory, which is regarded as a real general. Reach into the Northwest Territory.
Even so, the Four Sects and Canglan Hou's Mansion, as well as other sects of the Northwest Territories, also have great powers of autonomy and self-government, and often they are not listening.
If you don’t listen to the announcement, you just talk about it in plain terms.
This time Ce Tianfu conquered Chen Xun to Xuanjing to take up the post. If Chen Xun is determined not to leave Wushan, Ce Tianfu will not be able to cure Chen Xun's crime of disobedience.
It’s just that Qingjiang belongs to the northern territory headed by Xuandu Sect. Seeing the monks of Cetian House openly intercepting boats and ships on the lower reaches of the Qingjiang River, Chen Xun was somewhat troubled, and whispered with Bei Xuanjia: "Perhaps Xuandu Sect was endured by Zhou Wushan. The pressure is so great that there is no time to take care of such a small-scale crossing of Ce Tianfu, right?"
At this time, Zhou Chuan wanted to step forward to ask what happened in Jiangkou, but the three monks in Cetian Palace didn't care, impatiently urging them to land immediately, and then flew away to intercept other boats coming from the parade.
Chen Xun extended his spiritual consciousness and saw the turbulent waves in the Qingjiang Estuary. There were two huge boats carrying hundreds of armored knights, shooting from the inside and outside of the Jiangkou with huge bows and crossbows against the river; there were still in the sky. Dozens of monks flew densely above the huge boat, and they used various magical instruments to attack the bottom of the river mouth. For a time, their aura flashed, and the water surface of the river mouth that was more than a hundred miles wide was turbid and the water blasted into the sky.
A sly beast-like behemoth with blue scales, as if trapped under the water by some tyrannical magic weapon, was struggling to resist the frenzied attack by the monks and cavalrymen of the Tianfu.
Chen Xun and the others docked with the ship; there were already twenty or thirty ships parked here on the shore.
Zhou Chuan saw an acquaintance on the shore and raised his voice and said: "Brother Zhao, what is going on here? How can those people who look like people from the camp of God Feng run here to seal the river?"
Senior Brother Zhao flew over and landed on the deck. He took out a bronze mirror-like artifact from his arms. He sighed and wiped it with his hand. He saw dozens of gray spots densely reflected on the bronze mirror and said to Zhou Chuan: "Shen Fengying found a cunning beast with clear eyes in Xizehai, fighting for several days before trapping it at Qingjiangkou..."
Chen Xun glanced at it. The gray traces displayed on the bronze mirror corresponded to the monks belonging to the Cetianfu Shenfeng Camp flying in the sky over the Qingjin River Mouth. He thought that this bronze mirror turned out to be a piece of energy. The ultimate magic weapon that senses the monk's breath within a thousand miles...R1058
