Chapter 251 Discussing the Spiritual Land and the Office of the High Priest (Please subscribe)
In addition, nothing can be established without destruction.
Some opportunities can only be obtained by taking risks.
Being prudent is safe, but it also means that you will miss some opportunities.
Wei Fei, the father of Wei Xian'er, wasted his years because of lack of ambition, and almost failed to build his own foundation... If Wei Tu had not helped him twice, Wei Fei would have died of depression long ago.
Therefore, if you don’t have great opportunities, and you just stick to being steady, you won’t be able to go very far on the road of cultivating immortality, and sooner or later you will fall somewhere.
Opportunities are earned.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the "degree" of danger must be grasped.
Ignoring the danger and jumping in headfirst is called being stupid.
"Xian'er, if you feel any discomfort while wearing this puppet, remember to come to me in time..." Wei Tu thought for a moment and warned Wei Xian'er.
While speaking, Wei Tu also sent a message to Wei Xian'er about the danger of the statue of "The Mourning Divine Lord".
The father is not with him.
His uncle, since he is capable, will certainly help as much as he can.
"Yes, Uncle Wei." Wei Xian'er's cheeks were slightly red, she hummed slightly and nodded.
Although she knew that Uncle Wei had good intentions and was worried about her safety, there were differences between men and women...
…
Arrived at Zama tribe.
Wei Tu is a guest, a foreigner from Jindan, so he had to go and see the two rulers of the Zama Tribe, the high priest "Dia" and the patriarch "Hei Gu".
In addition, according to Wei Yan, the Fenshan Department has signs of leasing and selling the third-level spiritual land "Yanfenshan".
Wei Tu plans to get some specific information from the high priest of the Zama tribe.
He had a good relationship with the Hanshan Tao family, so he entrusted the introduction to the Tao family elder "Tao Fangde" in the Zama tribe.
—Tao Fangde was the foundation-building master responsible for the Tao family from Hanshan sneaking into Kang State.
"The channel for smuggling into Kang country has been blocked. In the past ten years, my contact with my master's family has decreased. The Zama tribe has the idea of embezzling the property of my Tao family... Fortunately, Senior Wei broke through the golden elixir, which also solved the problem of my Tao family. urgent need.”
Tao Fangde was very happy after seeing Wei Tu, even a little overjoyed.
Nowadays, the Zama tribe and the "Tao family" and "Wei family" monks who smuggled in are getting along in harmony, but he knows that if time passes for a longer time, it will not necessarily be the case.
Let’s not mention the Wei family for now.
The Tao family, in order to reestablish their family after sneaking to Kang State, brought a lot of family heritage with them before coming.
Nowadays, without the impressive reputation of the ancestor "Tao Chongzhou", the Tao family in the Zama tribe is like a child carrying gold through the market.
As the older generation of the Tao family, Tao Fangde had seen big storms and was immediately aware of the crisis in this stable environment.
Fortunately, with the arrival of Wei Tu, Tao Fangde and the Tao family can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“Senior Wei, I wonder if my ancestors came to Kang State with you...”
Tao Fangde asked anxiously.
Wei Tu is an outsider, and using Wei Tu's reputation to frighten the Zama tribe can only be a temporary solution.
If the Tao family wants to resolve the crisis, it would be best for their ancestor Tao Chongzhou to personally come forward.
“Wei and his family were able to come to Kang State only because of the help of noble people, not through Chishui Pass.”
Wei Tu concealed the existence of the "secret passage" by prevaricating.
This secret passage is the secret of the Qiyue Zhao family and should not be known to too many people.
Talk about it without permission, which is considered disrespectful.
In addition, although the relationship between the Tao family and him was close, it was not to the point of risking one's life to help each other.
"That's it." Tao Fangde looked disappointed when he heard this.
He thought that Wei Tu came to Kang State with his ancestor Tao Chongzhou.
"As for fellow Daoist Tao..." Wei Tu groaned and said with relief: "As a monk of the Golden Core, Fellow Daoist Tao can still come to Kangguo even if there is no way to smuggle him in, and he will be delayed for three to five years."
A few years ago, before leaving Kang State, he warned Tao Chongzhou, the ancestor of the Tao family, to make preparations and sneak into Kang State.
If Tao Chongzhou remembers what he said and looks for a way, he will have a high chance of success in sneaking into Kang State.
Although dangerous places such as the Black Blood Swamp and unparalleled places are dangerous, if several golden elixir monks join forces, the chance of surviving is not low.
“It’s good that everything is fine, ancestor.” Upon hearing this, Tao Fangde felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
The thing he was most afraid of was that Tao Chongzhou accidentally lost his life when he and Wei Tu crossed the "Black Blood Swamp" and other dangerous places together, so he did not arrive with Wei Tu and others.
As long as the ancestor Tao Chongzhou is not dead, it will be a blessing for the Tao family members of the Zama tribe.
As long as the ancestors are alive, they can always frighten the Zama tribe and preserve their property.
It will not lead to death.
…
After inquiring about the current situation of the Tao family in Hanshan, Tao Fangde took out his communication device, contacted some important officials of the Zama tribe, and then took Wei Tu to the Zama tribe's holy lake "Liuyun Lake".
This lake is vast and boundless, like a vast ocean, and you can't see the edge at a glance.
The breeze blows, and ripples like silver scales appear on the lake surface, which is really beautiful.
“Liuyun Lake is a third-level spiritual land owned by the Zama tribe. The priests of the clan live on the island in the center of the lake, and the high priest lives on the pagoda on the island.”
"In the tribe of Kang State, once someone becomes a high priest, the mages from the three major tribes will come to build pagodas for the tribe. I heard that the construction technology of these pagodas comes from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in Xiao State, which contains high-level Buddhist temples. Spiritual formation…”
Tao Fangde looked at the island in the middle of the lake, and his eyes stopped at the gray tower on the island.
This tall gray tower has seven floors, each floor is more than ten feet high. It stands on an island in the middle of the lake, as if connecting heaven and earth.
The top of the tower is covered by flowing clouds. As the clouds roll and relax, the golden top made of gold shines brightly under the sunlight and stars.
At this moment, Wei Tu sensed a trace of divine consciousness falling on him.
"High Priest Tia?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes immediately followed the direction of his consciousness and landed on an old man with white hair sitting on the clouds.
This white-haired old man wears a feather crown on his head, a strange black bird pattern tattooed on his cheek, and wears a Tibetan robe.
“Comparable to the spiritual consciousness in the late stage of Jindan.”
Wei Tu was shocked in his heart. His consciousness was far beyond the realm. He relied on his Talisman Master level and the strength of his soul after swallowing the ghost baby.
This is not an ordinary Jindan monk.
And what does the High Priest Tia rely on?
"Priest Wei." High Priest Dia looked slightly surprised when he saw Wei Tu noticing his consciousness. He nodded slightly and said hello to Wei Tu.
"In the words of your monks, I should call you fellow Taoist. However, since fellow Taoist Wei has arrived in Kang country and where we "Kangju people" live, it is better to become a secular person in the country."
High Priest Tia said calmly.
The three major tribes of Kang State, Sheri, Yingding and Fengwu, although they are independent in their own affairs and some have blood feuds, the three major tribes and their affiliated tribes have a unified name - Kangju people.
Kang State, also known as "Kangju State".
Standing by Liuyun Lake, Wei Tu understood what High Priest Dia was saying.
These words are a warning to him, the golden elixir of the Zheng state, not to cause trouble in the Kangguo and Zama tribes, otherwise the people of Kangju will share their hatred and deal with him, the golden elixir of the Zheng state.
Is this considered geographical exclusion?
"The name is just a title. The high priest can call Wei Wei a priest." Wei Tu smiled slightly and expressed his position.
He came to Kang State with the intention of pursuing a stable cultivation environment.
I will not deliberately cause trouble.
In addition, in his opinion, monks are the same as priests and mages. They are all titles, so there is no need to pay too much attention to them.
—Priest means monk in the words of "Kangju people".
It is not only a division of realm.
The word "high priest" refers to the realm of the golden elixir level, and also refers to the intellectual figure of a tribal monk.
"Please." After hearing what Wei Tu said, High Priest Dia showed a faint smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and saluted, beckoning Wei Tu to come forward.
Those who know current affairs are distinguished.
Wei Tu could hear the hidden meaning in his words, and he was obviously a smart man. When facing smart people of the same strength, he will only make friends, not become hostile.
"Thank you, High Priest." Wei Tu thanked him. He flicked his sleeves, and light condensed under his feet. He flew to the clouds and sat opposite High Priest Dia.
“Time is not forgiving, and it was more than thirty years ago when I heard about the name of Priest Wei. At that time, the Tao family and the Wei family had just moved into the Zama tribe.”
High Priest Tia flicked his sleeves and a tea set appeared in front of him. While he was making tea, he chatted casually with Wei Tu.
Although the number of people from the Tao family and the Wei family who moved into the Zama tribe was small, only a few dozen, their quality was not low at all.
There are four foundation-building monks in total.
You must know that there are only about ten foundation-building monks in the Zama tribe.
Hence, the combined efforts of the Tao family and the Wei family were a force that could influence the political ecology of the Zama tribe.
Now there are more Wei Tu...
The High Priest of Tia and the other monks of the Zama tribe would be lying if they said they were not worried.
“Wei heard from my daughter that Fenshan, the third-level spiritual land of Fenshan Department, seems to be available for rent and sale. If possible, Wei would like to go to Fenshan Department to practice cultivation.”
Wei Tu did not beat around the bush and directly stated his intention.
"Yanfenshan?" Master Dia was moved when he heard this. If Wei Tu went to the Fenshan tribe, it would not only be harmless to the Zama tribe, but also give the Zama tribe a good ally.
Even though the Zama tribe and the Fenshan tribe are both under the jurisdiction of the "Yingding tribe", it does not mean that the tribes are as close as one family.
It is not uncommon for various affiliated tribes to fight each other in order to compete for resources.
Even if there is no fighting within the tribe, outside the tribe, they will still fight with the affiliated tribes of the two major tribes, the "Sheri Tribe" and the "Fengwu Tribe".
Of course, this is not because the Kangju people are not united, it is just that the resources of Kang State cannot support so many "priests".
Only the "high priest" who stands out among the tribe is the real pillar of the Kangju people.
Monks at this level rarely engage in fights.
“The high priest of the Fenshan Tribe, Mu Feng, is recognized by the old man. He will die at the end of his life in less than thirty years at most.”
“The reason why he is renting and selling the third-level spiritual land of the Fenshan Tribe is to find strong men and protect the Fenshan Tribe... This news should be true.”
The high priest of Tia confirmed it.
Although the major tribes are not weak in strength, in terms of cultivating "successors", they are not as good as monk sects such as Ningyue Palace. Many tribes have difficulty in achieving orderly inheritance.
Hence, looking for foreign aid has become a common strategy implemented by these tribes.
“If Priest Wei really wants to go to the Burning Mountain Division, I can contact you on my behalf.” High Priest Dia hesitated for a moment and replied in a deep voice.
“Is there a price for leasing spiritual land?”
Wei Tu did not rush to reply, but asked this question first.
After all, Wei Yan is only a foundation-building monk. Limited by his realm and identity, it is difficult for him to know the corresponding inside story.
In case there is a hole in it.
He might as well choose the third-level spiritual land rented and sold by "Dijian Mountain".
"Price?" High Priest Dia thought for a while and said, "If Priest Wei is the high priest of the Burning Mountain tribe temporarily, he only needs to pay some rent every year, and there is no cost."
“Even if the royal court calls, the priest has the right not to go.”
“But if the priest Wei doesn’t want to pay the rent to rent Yanfen Mountain and chooses to become the high priest of Fenfen Mountain, then he will be the same as an old man.”
“Have both rights and obligations.”
“When you are under the jurisdiction of the royal court, you are also qualified to go to the royal court to learn advanced “spiritual arts”. The more tribesmen you send to the royal court and become mages, you will receive corresponding rewards...”
“As well as the spiritual arts stored by the priests of the Burning Mountain Division, you can go to the royal court to learn them without any fees.”
High Priest Tia said slowly.
“The old man suggested that the priests should become real high priests. In another fifty years, we Kangju people will have the “Holy Spring Meeting” held every two hundred years.”
“At that time, the high priest can bathe in the holy spring in the Holy Spring Society for three years. If he is lucky enough to get a ranking, the time of bathing in the holy spring will be longer.”
“The longer you bathe in the holy spring, the more your cultivation will be improved.”
Speaking of this, there was a hint of eagerness in the eyes of High Priest Dia.
Obviously, he has been thinking about the "Holy Spring Society" for a long time.
“The High Priest Laodia has contacted the Fenshan Department on behalf of Wei.”
When Wei Tu heard the words, he felt a little moved. He bowed his head and said please.
However, he did not express his position on whether to become the high priest of Fenshan Tribe.
Fifty years have passed, and things have changed dramatically.
By then, it is still undecided whether there will be any changes in the "Holy Spring Society" of the three major departments.
It’s been so long.
He can make a choice within fifty years, and there is no need to become the "high priest" of the Burning Mountain Tribe at this moment.
“It’s natural.”
High Priest Tia smiled and agreed casually.
“I heard that Priest Wei is Wei Xianer’s uncle? That’s his elder!”
“Previously, I had planned to accept Wei Xian’er as a disciple and teach her spiritual skills, but she declined because her elder was away.”
"I wonder if Priest Wei can be Wei Xian'er's master and agree to this matter."
Archmage Tia opened another topic.
When meeting Wei Xian'er, Wei Yan had already mentioned that High Priest Dia had planned to accept Wei Xian'er as his disciple. Therefore, when Archmage Dia mentioned this matter, Wei Tu did not feel surprised at all. He had already been prepared in his heart.
“Xian’er has little qualifications. I wonder where he can attract the high priest?”
Wei Tu’s eyes flashed slightly and he asked.
Wei Xian'er, like his father Wei Fei, both have low-grade spiritual roots. However, his spiritual root qualifications are among the best among low-grade spiritual roots.
This qualification is not bad.
But it cannot be called good.
At least it can’t attract the attention of a Jindan monk.
