Liyue Taoist of the original god

Chapter 508 The Night Before (End)

late at night.

Wang Yunsong couldn't sleep, so he took a walk in the yard alone with his coat on.

The chaos this afternoon was only prevented from getting out of hand by his persuasion.

Money and silk move people's hearts, and he understands this very well, because he is the same.

Although he can accept Mingjun's reasons, it doesn't mean that he can really agree with his actions like Mingjun does.

The so-called great changes in Liyue, no one among the merchants knew what this meant.

This means that if you are not careful, you will not lose everything, but you will lose all your bones!

It has been six years since Xuanmen moved to Liyue Port. Although it has barely established a firm foothold over the years, the local businessmen in Liyue Port are still quite exclusive.

This is human nature. After all, businessmen don’t like so many people rushing to grab business.

Although Xue Lian did not reveal the specific content of the cooperation, as long as Mingjun agrees, Xuanmen will be able to be prepared. At least they will not be so passive outside Yiyan Palace tomorrow.

But still, things are unpredictable.

Wang Yunsong sighed as he walked around. When he walked out of the inner courtyard, he found that the lights were still on in the side room.

He remembered that the person living inside was a bookkeeper he had taken in more than a week ago.

It's late at night now, but you didn't expect that the other party is still awake?

Doubt flashed across Wang Yunsong's face. He walked to the door of the side room, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

Knock knock——

"Mr. Xuanyi, haven't you rested yet?"

There were sounds of movement in the house. Xuan Yi opened the door, looked at Wang Yunsong and said with a smile: "It turns out to be the master of the house, please come in quickly."

With that said, Xuan Yi turned sideways and let Wang Yunsong in.

After entering the room, Wang Yunsong looked at the lights on the desk and asked curiously: "Is Mr. Xuan Yi still reading so late?"

"I just love reading, and fortunately the head of the family appreciates it. The books in the study are not private to me, so I haha."

Xuan Yi looked embarrassed. Although he didn't finish his words, Wang Yunsong understood him.

He raised his hand and twirled the beard on his chin, smiled appreciatively at Xuan Yi and said, "It's naturally a good thing that sir likes to read, but you should also pay attention to rest."

With that said, he came to the desk, flipped through it, and asked in surprise: "Sir, do you like the collection of earthly creatures and monsters?"

"It made the head of the family laugh."

Xuan Yi came to Wang Yunsong and explained: "I have been very interested in some history and humanities of Liyue recently, and then I accidentally discovered that there are many similar books in your home, so I borrowed them to read."

"It's okay." Wang Yunsong saw that Xuan Yi seemed a little nervous, so he reassured, "Although those books are old, they are also records of hearsay. If you like to read them, then go and read them."

While the two were chatting, they came to sit down at the table in the center of the room.

Xuan Yi poured tea for Wang Yunsong, and only then did he ask: "Master, why don't you take a rest at this late hour?"

Wang Yunsong took the tea cup and sighed: "It's such an eventful time that I can't sleep."

"Did something happen at home?"

"Don't you know anything about what happened in Liyue recently?"

When Xuan Yi heard this, he replied with some embarrassment: "Aside from the invitation to the immortal ceremony and the demon god appearing in the sea to attack Liyue Port, I don't know about the rest."

"Then sir, you really should go out for a walk more often when you have time. A lot has happened in Liyue these past two days."

"Master, can you tell me something?"

Wang Yunsong took a sip of hot tea, looked at Xuan Yi and said: "Qixing has decided on two things recently. One is to send a guest from the Palace of Purity to preside over the ceremony of sending immortals, and the other is that it is causing trouble for merchants like me.

Things that people discuss in panic."

"I don't know the specific details of this ceremony to send immortals, and no one pays attention to it, but the matter that Tianquan Ningguang convened the merchants to discuss is the most important thing in our hearts. Unfortunately, the specific situation is also unclear, so sleep

Can’t catch it.”

"Does this have anything to do with the family?"

"I just don't know anything, so I can't sleep."

Here Wang Yunsong is chatting with Xuan Yi, and on the other side, a similar play is being performed in Zhutian Fang.

In the afternoon, Du Hai suddenly chartered one of the Zhutian Fang cruise ships and invited almost all the businessmen he could invite on board for discussions.

At this moment, although it was already late at night and the atmosphere at the venue was gradually becoming depressing, none of the businessmen who came here as guests showed any signs of leaving.

Everyone is anxious about the discussion outside Yiyan Palace tomorrow.

It has been three days, and it can be said that no one has received any useful information until now.

In the afternoon, a rumor broke out - your family is seeking to cooperate with Xuanmen people.

But this news can be said to be worse than not knowing.

Because of what Han Tingli said, everyone knew that this time the matter was so big that even the noble family, which had always been self-sufficient and had the existence of Seven Stars, was looking for someone to cooperate!

This can be said to make everyone feel that things are really going to change this time.

But whether it was sunny or rainy, good or bad, they couldn't find out in any way.

Knowing that the matter is big and closely related to them, how can this make businessmen not anxious?

Du Hai looked at the gloomy atmosphere at the venue, picked up his wine glass, stood up and said to everyone.

"Everyone knows that tomorrow will be an important day, but there is no news at the moment. I think we should all abandon the previous barriers at this moment and unite together, don't you think?"

There was dead silence in the audience.

Everyone looked at each other without expressing their opinions.

Du Hai's face darkened. He looked at everyone and asked, "We are all leaders in all walks of life living in Feiyun Slope. In this current situation, are you still thinking about protecting yourself and trying to stay out of it?"

"Don't you know the news that came from Xuanmen this afternoon? Liyue is about to undergo a big change! Don't you know the power contained in these words?!"

"Last year, such a big thing happened in the Stratiyan Abyss. How many manpower and material resources were used. If you don't know what life is like for us ore merchants, look at Maocai Gong who has not been released from prison yet. You should also

Can you experience it?"

"In this season when we should be making a lot of money, we can only make meager profits. Don't you understand the thinking of Seven Stars today?"

"Before, they only suppressed our ore merchants, but now, Tianquan Ningguang has summoned all the merchants in Liyue, all of them!"

"Based on what I just said, do you think you can stay out of it?"

After saying that, Du Hai felt a little angry and sat down helplessly when he saw that everyone still didn't react much.

At this time, Boss Liu of the cloth shop stood up. He toasted Du Hai with a glass of wine, and then asked calmly: "Boss Du, your words are a bit alarmist, aren't you?"

"Although your ore industry has been rectified since last year, it does not prevent you from surviving. You can still make profits. Not only that, do you see any closed ore stores on the market now?"

"Although Tianshu Star's methods are a bit explosive, at least it has a way to survive."

"Ha." Du Hai looked at Boss Liu with gloomy eyes and said sarcastically, "Boss Liu, you are now relying on your family and making a lot of money from the new dye, so you are starting to say good things for his family?!"

After hearing this, Boss Liu admitted it openly. He nodded and said: "My Liu family cloth shop has indeed made a profit due to this dye impact, but do you dare to say that there is anything wrong with what I just said?"

"Okay, since you want to argue with me, I'll take it." Du Hai stood up again. He looked at Boss Liu and asked, "Boss Liu, think about it carefully. When Prince Yan was still here, we all went our separate ways.

You are doing business, but have you ever been under such great management pressure?”

"We in Liyue are a country founded on commerce! Since last year, when Tianshu Xing came to power, he has used heavy pressure to suppress our ore merchants. Now that Prince Yan has just passed away a few weeks ago, Tianquan is about to take action against our entire industry. You

Do you think this is right?"

Boss Liu retorted: "Boss Du, what exactly Tianquan wants to do has not been made clear yet!"

"Isn't this obvious?" Du Hai patted the table and said firmly, "Even your family is looking for outsiders to cooperate at this point in time. Do you think this matter is still possible?"

What good thing could it be?!"

Boss Liu was still dissatisfied and responded: "What you said is all your speculation. Without evidence, I won't believe you anyway."

After that, he said goodbye to Du Hai and everyone else: "It's getting late, and it seems that it's impossible to get more information at the moment, so I'll take my leave."

With Boss Liu leaving, the atmosphere at the reception became depressing to the freezing point.

Everyone knows that the most important thing right now is to know what Qixing is going to do in advance so that they can prepare for it, but no one can get the news.

But for them to unite is just a fool's errand. They all have their own agendas, so it is impossible for them to unite.

What's more, if we join forces with you, will Du Hai have this ability?!

Everyone at the meeting was silent, and even the ore businessmen who were usually close to Du Hai did not rise to calm the atmosphere.

Du Hai, who was sitting in the main seat, had a sullen face and was extremely angry.

His purpose is of course to take advantage of this moment to unite the merchants of Feiyun Slope.

It doesn’t need to be big, it’s enough just for the people at the venue to be united.

The reason that prompted him to do this was the insecurity that had been lingering in his heart.

Ever since Ouyang took office as Tianshu and rectified their ore merchants, he has been feeling uneasy.

He always felt that Ouyang was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

But I could never find the reason, so the feeling of being unsteady was not strong at first.

But it was different now. With the death of Prince Yan, the uneasiness in his heart began to erupt.

Sure enough, just over a week later, the news was posted on the bulletin board that Ningguang was going to summon all the merchants in Liyue.

At first, like others, he tried his best to explore the news, but all failed.

It was only after he heard what Xuanmen Han Tingli said that he suddenly chartered a boat from Zhu Tian Fang, hoping to unite these merchants in an attempt to protect himself.

When they unite, they will have room to negotiate the seven-star policy.

What he wants is this negotiation space.

He didn't want to be like last year, when the entire industry was completely wiped out by Ouyang's cup of tea, leaving no room for resistance!

Unfortunately, Du Hai found that his grasp of people's hearts was still insufficient.

Even though I had said all those words, it still failed to arouse the minds of others.

what to do

Du Hai clasped his hands tightly under the table.

Because of all the unknowns, he subconsciously amplified the fear in his heart.

I always feel that Liyue will be turned upside down after tomorrow, and I will completely lose the opportunity to cross over to the top circle of Liyue in my lifetime because I missed this opportunity to unite everyone!

Unwilling to do so.——

In an inn in Feiyun Slope, Paimon, who couldn't sleep, was flying above Sora's head, verbally bombarding Sora who was lying on the bed.

"Traveler! Tomorrow is the day Ningguang said! How can you sleep?!"

"Wake up! There are so many molas!"

"Hey! Traveler! Traveler!!!"

"Stop!" Kong shouted helplessly.

He opened his eyes, sat up, and let himself sit on the head of the bed.

After doing all this, he looked at Paimon helplessly and said, "Didn't we talk about Ningguang's matter before? I don't want to interfere with Seven Stars' matter."

"That's a lot of Mora! Why are you so stubborn!"

"Isn't our Mora enough?" Kong felt that Paimon's current state was simply inexplicable, and he added, "And if you really care about Mora that much, didn't Ouyang say that as long as we carry out the ceremony of sending immortals

Okay, will he tell us how to make money?"

"That's different!"

Paimeng stretched out his finger and began to say: "Don't you always think that Ouyang is weird? You still want to investigate him. I feel that under such circumstances, I will not believe everything he says, so I want to make money from Mo La

, you should go find Ningguang!"

"Besides, I don't know how long it will take to complete the ceremony of sending immortals. It's been a few days. We just found the first item we prepared today. The time limit really makes me impatient to wait."

"Now I have a new opportunity, so I think I shouldn't give up!"

"And you see, we have been in Liyue for so long, and all the businessmen say that Ningguang is the most profitable person in Liyue, so instead of waiting for Ouyang, we should take the initiative and find Ningguang!"

Paimon spoke eloquently, as if he was full of confidence. Kong listened and responded with a fatal blow: "Okay, I will go find her tomorrow, and then what? How are you sure that Ningguang will need us?"

?How are you sure that such a major commercial event in Liyue will require us who are just traveling?"

"."

Paimon was speechless when asked, and she realized that she really didn't have a suitable identity to meet Ningguang.

If you can't see Ningguang, you can't participate in Liyue's business, and you can't earn Mora.

However, Paimon finally said harshly: "Well, after we were arrested during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, didn't Ningguang say she would find time to see us? She hasn't come to us for so many days, so we can take the initiative to go find us.

She!"

"And because Qixing is going to summon businessmen from Liyue tomorrow, Zhongli said that tomorrow's event has been cancelled. Aren't you okay? Go and have a look, what if we are really needed?"

"But I want to take advantage of tomorrow to go to the Adventurers Association to pick up the mission." Kong continued expressionlessly, "We are about to run out of money. If we don't take advantage of this time to make money quickly, we will be asleep in two days.

Went into the wild."

Huh?!

Paimon held her head in disbelief, and she understood the meaning of Kong's words.

Either you can choose to go to the Adventurers Association to accept tasks and earn Mora safely, or you can take a gamble and go to Yiyan Palace to find Ningguang to grab that hope that has almost no hope.

It’s so difficult, how to choose?!

Paimon scratched his hair, he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to choose.

She looked at Kong for help, but before she could speak, Kong got back into bed and said, "It's up to you to decide. I'm going to bed. When you wake up tomorrow, just tell me what your choice is."

After saying that, Kong covered his head with the quilt and completely ignored Paimeng.

"are you mad at me!"

Paimeng stomped his feet angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

She came to the desk and opened the diary on her body.

There was a page on it that recorded all her wish list after coming to Liyue, with an expression of great pain and confusion on her face.

How to choose? ah ah ah ah!——

Time comes before dawn, the darkest time in the world.

The north gate of Liyue Port follows the official road all the way north, in the eastern section of the Tianheng Mountains, where there is an inn on the official road.

It is only half a day's journey from Liyue Port, and the inn was chosen to make it convenient for businessmen who were traveling at night to rest here for the night.

But now there is a special guest living in this inn - Rosalind.

In order to receive her, after Ningguang learned about this situation, he took the initiative to free up a landscape room built on the mountainside of Tianheng Mountain behind the inn for foreign envoys to stay.

This view room faces north and south, and the location is very good.

Open the window and you can have a complete view of Liyue Port not far away.

At this moment, in this house that was originally only for one person, Rosalin welcomed her unexpected guest.

She sat on a chair and looked at a mysterious man in a cloak who came all the way along the mountain road. She chuckled and said: "It seems that the death of Morax has some influence. Even you street rats dare to do this."

Come to me openly and openly."

Rosalin naturally knew that Morax was not dead, but this did not prevent her from ridiculing him.

Because she could see the identity of the opposite person at a glance - Abyss.

The mysterious man did not refute when he heard the ridicule. He took out a piece of paper from his cloak and placed it gently on the table.

Rosalin glanced at it casually, and then she was stunned.

She suddenly raised her head, looked at the mysterious man, and her tone was no longer sarcastic, but asked solemnly: "The chips you gave are indeed very high, but your attire makes it impossible for me to feel your sincerity!"

After saying that, an ice pick with the power of ice rushed towards the mysterious man.

bite--

The mysterious man calmly raised his hand, and a light film similar to a shield unfolded to block the ice cone.

"You just need to answer whether you are willing to cooperate."

This time a voice finally came from the hood, but it seemed to have been processed. Rosalind could not recognize it except that it was a female voice.

She frowned and paced the room anxiously.

He looked at the note on the table again and asked with confirmation: "Are you sure what you wrote on the paper is the truth?!"

The mysterious man nodded but did not answer.

After receiving the affirmation, Rosalin became even more irritable.

She waved her hand and released a little flame to burn the note. In the burning fire, she asked with a stern face: "Okay, I believe what you wrote on the paper, but can the goal of your request be changed? Can I ask for it?"

You promise, except for this matter, we can find a way to help you achieve your other goals!"

The ashes of the note fell slowly and shattered on the ground.

The mysterious man shook his head in silence, seemingly very determined.

"Damn it!"

Rosalin gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, wanting to throw something, but looking around, there was nothing to throw.

She faced the mysterious man and said angrily as if she was out of control: "Do you understand what your request means?! You want the body of Morax after his death. This is not difficult, but do you know that Liyue is now

Besides Morax, there is also Ouyang! Do you know who Ouyang is?!"

"I know."

Well?!

Rosalin was stunned by the mysterious man's answer.

"Do you know Ouyang?"

The mysterious man nodded again: "We know."

"No" Rosalin thought the other party didn't understand, she added, "I mean, do you know Ouyang's strength?"

"I know." The mysterious man answered affirmatively, and added, "I have personally experienced it. It is an unmatched power."

Oh.

Rosalin opened her mouth, as if she wanted to laugh, but she didn't.

"Then, why do you insist on getting Morax's body?"

She felt that all this was a fantasy, and she was also baffled by the other party's persistence: "I can tell you responsibly, we fools don't want to confront Ouyang because of this matter!"

"Ouyang's strength is scary, but it's only his strength that's scary, and he himself is not scary."

The mysterious man explained in a confused manner.

Then she added: "I just need you to find out the location of the body, and we will do the rest ourselves."

The room fell silent, Rosalin stared at the mysterious man in the hood, and gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay!"

Rosalin had to agree, because the reward offered by the other party was too much for them to refuse.

However, she still wanted to add insurance, she said: "But there must be a condition!"

"you say."

"You wrote on the paper that the reward is an energy conversion device. In order to ensure that you can really give it to me, you must now give me a sample, or other proof that can prove that what you said is true!"

snap——

The mysterious man reached out and placed a small cup-like object on the table.

"This contains the energy of the earth's veins that has always been sealed. I think this should be enough proof."

Looking at the jar of energy, Rosalin felt the concentration of energy in it. While confirming in her heart, she was even more frightened.

This means that the other party not only has energy conversion devices, but also indirectly reminds her that they have energy extraction and storage technology!

To be honest, these are not too sophisticated technologies. Zhidong also has the same, but the reason she had to agree is that there is currently no energy extraction technology that can achieve such a concentration!

Rosalind nodded.

"I agreed, but as I said just now, I will only provide information, and the fools will not show up on this matter."

"I just want some definite news."

"make a deal!"
