Mysterious World Tour

The boat traveled on Tianren Lake for three days and three nights before entering the territory of Tianqu Prefecture.

Compared with Kunling Prefecture, Tianqu Prefecture, as one of the 44 prefectures of Mahakala, is five times the size of Kunling Prefecture. Mountains, plains, highlands, and all kinds of landforms are available. The prefecture is vast. In addition to planting rice, corn and other plants, there are also many fish and beasts that can be caught and hunted. Therefore, the population of Tianqu Prefecture is large, and the number of counties is more than double that of other prefectures.

If Tianqu Prefecture was not adjacent to the no-man's-land, the population of Tianqu Prefecture would be even larger.

Perhaps because of the many rivers, Tianqu Prefecture is much colder than Kunling Prefecture, and it has even snowed. After entering Tianqu Prefecture, everything you can see is covered with snow.

"It's snowing! Little Muyu, look!" The little princess looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and was extremely happy. She ran around on the deck of the treasure ship. The snowflakes didn't accumulate, so she ran away.

Tan Mo came out. He was still wearing the monk's robe. After all, he was in the Six Imperial Realms, and he was immune to cold and heat. No matter how cold it was, it had nothing to do with him.

He looked at the little princess running happily, shook his head slightly, and felt very funny in his heart. Then he turned around and looked at the shore in the distance.

After driving so far in Tianren Lake, I can finally see the shore.

There are some people there, which seems to be a small village. Some houses have collapsed. They are thatched houses. Some houses are still intact. Indistinctly, Tan Mo can still see a person lying in the snow. He can only see a rough outline, and most of his body is covered by snow.

There is no doubt that this person was frozen to death.

Tan Mo remained silent.

This is exactly in line with the saying that the scenery in the eyes of the rich is the bitterness in the eyes of the poor.

So, after docking, Tan Mo got off the boat and walked around. After meeting a few people who were helping the victims of the snowstorm, he gave them all the silver he had saved during this period.

The little princess wanted to help Tan Mo give more, but was stopped by Tan Mo.

This is his private matter.

Besides... the silver on this poor student is what he plans to use in the future. After all, as a little princess, she has no place to spend the silver except saving it, and in the end it is still him who spends it.

Because of Tan Mo's good deeds, the leader of these people came to talk to Tan Mo.

This is a middle-aged man, a cultivator, born in a family. His father and his eldest brother are in the Three Talents Realm, and the rest have several brothers and sisters, who are all in the Six Imperial Realms like him.

This man's surname is Xiao, and his name is Sanyue, because he was born in March. From this careless name, it can be seen that Xiao Sanyue's status in the Xiao family, a family in the spiritual world, is not high.

This is actually the case.

After he turned twenty, he was sent out by his family to look after the fields in this area, which was actually a disguised "exile".

Because the Xiao family was a Taoist family, Xiao Sanyue originally practiced the Taoist method, and his Taoist name was Feixue. However, more than ten years ago, after meeting a high monk, Xiao Sanyue began to practice with his hair untied, calling himself Jingzhai Jushi, and was considered to have entered Buddhism.

Undoubtedly, Xiao Sanyue was more inclined to Buddhism. After chatting with Tan Mo for a while, he invited Tan Mo to sit down, but Tan Mo didn't have time to delay, so he declined.

"This uncle Xiao Sanyue is a good person." On the way back to the treasure ship, the little princess said this.

Tianqu Prefecture has a cold climate, and the winter is very long every year. It happens that it snows for nearly half a month in a month. Therefore, in Tianqu Prefecture, there were not a few people who were frozen to death every year. It was not until a county magistrate named Zhuo came up with something called "grain loan" and forced local wealthy families to "borrow grain" that it was alleviated.

The power in Tianqu Prefecture is very complicated. There is no rebel king in this place, only a few forces are here. These forces are ostensibly the great families left by the former Qing Dynasty, but in fact, these great families are controlled by the spiritual world families in this place.

People in the spiritual world, whether they are aristocratic families or independent practitioners, although they will seek wealth and honor in the secular world, without exception, try their best not to get involved in power disputes.

This is not only for their own practice, but also to retreat in order to advance and leave a way out for themselves.

After the aristocratic families in the spiritual world found that this kind of "grain loan" measure was good, they jointly promoted it after some discussion. However, even so, those who can enjoy the "grain loan" are usually people in the county town. As for the countryside, it is difficult to enjoy it unless they have connections. Many people still die in the countryside every year.

For this reason, Xiao Sanyue will bring people to carry out disaster relief in the place he manages every year.

Within the area he manages, Xiao Sanyue saves one by one. And he will not save those who are beyond his management area. With this method, the scope of the fields managed by Xiao Sanyue has been expanding year by year.

After all, there are always some people who can't bear it, and they don't have the energy or ability to manage it, so they sell the land to the Xiao family at a low price.

Tan Mo nodded after hearing what the little princess said.

After he learned the details of this place, he immediately understood Xiao Sanyue's purpose, but even if there was a purpose, it was doing good things, so Xiao Sanyue really deserved the praise from the little princess.

When he returned to the treasure ship, Tan Mo found that the princess had returned.

Princess Bai Susu took people to meet the power that wanted to trade, while Tan Mo and the little princess took the opportunity to get off the ship. After all, it was inevitable that they were a little bored after staying on the ship for so long.

The person who traded with the princess was a major local power, the Prince Consort's Mansion.

The princess and the prince-in-law back then had long since passed away, and now the grandchildren of the prince-son-in-law and the princess were in charge. For such a force to become big, it is undoubtedly a "puppet" that was pushed out.

There are eleven aristocratic families behind the Prince Consort's Mansion, and the Xiao family of Xiao Sanyue that Tan Mo just met is one of them.

There are ten other forces that are comparable to the Prince Consort's Mansion.

Each force has at least twenty Three Talent Realms. The total of these ten families is the root cause of the situation in Tianqu Mansion that "Three Talent Realms are everywhere, and the Three Saints are not as good as dogs."

Because there are too many realms of three talents, generally speaking, Tianqu Mansion can be regarded as a mansion controlled by the spiritual fantasy world, and there are no super large spiritual fantasy world families sitting here, and there are no anti-kings entrenched here, making practitioners in heaven. Qufu is relatively freer, will not be subject to any restrictions, and can even receive preferential treatment.

Therefore, there are many small forces in the Sancai Realm, or those who are alone in the Sancai Realm, moved to Tianqu Mansion.

This further increased the level of Three Talents in Tianqu Mansion.

The princess's transaction went smoothly. As the young princess's personal butler, Tan Mo went to see it together without saying a word during the whole process. Bai Susu just wanted to let him gain experience.

Tan Mo was happy with this, and after the transaction was over, under the instruction of the princess, Tan Mo and the little princess went out to play.

For convenience, Tan Mo specially asked the guard to find a guide.

After asking the guide what interesting places there were, Tan Mo specially picked three nearby viewing spots and went for a walk. It was originally a good scenic spot, but at this time of year, it was covered with snow, so naturally there was nothing interesting to see.

If she hadn't had a meal of beef hot pot in the snow, the little princess would have thought that the guide was fooling her.

"Is there anything else?" The little county still had an idea, and asked the guide with a frown.

This guide is from the Prince Consort's Mansion, and is considered one of the confidants of the head of the Prince Consort's Mansion. He was there during the transaction, so he knew that the little girl in front of him was a "little ancestor" and that he could not be taken to some dangerous places. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, not to mention his head can be moved, his family will be affected.

"There is another place, which is Master Zhuo's tomb." After racking his brains, the little princess looked at him, and the guide was so anxious that he was sweating all over, and finally gave such a place name.

"Whose cemetery is it?" Tan Mo couldn't help but ask.

"I think my little master has heard of grain loans, and Mr. Zhuo is the founder of grain loans." The guide explained carefully.

The little princess thought it was some kind of tomb of a sage, so she immediately asked the guide to lead the way.

The guide took the order and quickly led the way.

As a result, when we arrived at the place, we found that it was an old tomb that was in dilapidated condition.

Dead branches and leaves mixed with snow covered the entire tomb.

Most of the tombstone was gone, leaving only the base.

If the guide hadn't led the way, no one would have known whose cemetery this was.

Not far away is the mass grave. There are few stone monuments there. Most of them are tombstones made of rotten wood, crookedly inserted in the geography. What is even more terrifying is that you can also see some cleanly rotten bones, or Half-rotten corpses lay scattered in the snow, looming.

This situation, with no one to take care of it, and a place for filming a Chinese Ghost Story, doesn't look like the treatment a sage should receive.

Tan Mo's face was expressionless.

The little princess learned to talk about Mo, and her face was expressionless.

After several guards looked at each other, they all looked expressionless.

The guide looked at this scene and wanted to remain expressionless, but he didn't dare, so he had to look sad.

Tan Mo couldn't stand it, so he took the initiative to break the embarrassment and declared: "Namo Amitabha. Since Mr. Zhuo initiated the charity of grain loans, why is there no one taking care of his cemetery? Could it be that this Zhuo Don’t you have any descendants?”

"I don't know about this villain, but although Mr. Zhuo has good deeds, his reputation is extremely bad. I heard from the villain's grandfather that Mr. Zhuo was full of evil in those days, relying on his unknown origin Madam, you are doing evil in this place and suppressing both humans and ghosts. When you come here, whether you are living or dead, you must first pay homage to Master Zhuo, otherwise, you may never return. "

"But the villain doesn't know what these are, because the villain's grandfather also heard what his grandfather said. To this day, this Master Zhuo is a figure from at least two hundred years ago. If there is a person from that time If the unknown master is willing to tell me, then maybe he can ask for details," the guide said with relief. He wiped away the cold sweat and looked at Tan Mo's eyes with gratitude.

Unknown Master is a term ordinary people use for something ominous.

Tan Mo nodded slightly, although there was nothing interesting to see in a dilapidated cemetery, and there were no stories to tell, so he said: "Nevertheless, since you are here, young monk, please give this Master Zhuo a stick of incense!"

Because the little princess thought she was here to pay homage to the tombs of the sages, when she passed by a Taoist temple, she bought some incense from the Taoist priests in the temple.

Tan Mo, with the idea of ​​not wasting anything, lit all the incense and stuck it in front of this rotten grave.

A trace of smoke slowly rose upwards, interspersing with the falling snowflakes.

No matter what kind of person he was in the past, he is now just a pile of loess, and even his bones have not been left.

Tan Mo couldn't help but shook his head slightly, feeling a little emotional in his heart. Speaking carefully, Mr. Zhuo was actually a ruthless person. After all, suppressing humans and ghosts was not something ordinary people could do.

Just like his senior brother Lotus Monk, he can make demons and ghosts fear him, but he cannot suppress both humans and ghosts.

This is simply the underworld on earth.

The living and the dead must obey the orders of this Master Zhuo who lived two hundred years ago.

After burning incense, Tan Mo and the little princess took their people back. There was nothing fun to do, so they returned to the treasure ship.

This is a treasure ship, which can repair itself, and blocking the cold is naturally nothing. Hiding in the cabin, closing the windows, the formation on the ship will operate, which will bring a constant supply of heating.

"If it can fly, this treasure ship can indeed be renamed as an interstellar battleship." Tan Mo thought of this again while blowing the heater.

He didn't need heating, but the guards and maids on this treasure ship really needed it.

The damp and cold climate of Tianqu Mansion is so cold!

Because the princess will stay in Tianqu Mansion for a while, it seems that the descendants of the Danding Sect in those days came to Tianqu Mansion with elixirs. Although she doesn't know whether it is true or not, the princess is going to get one.

If Bai Su Su wants it, she naturally doesn't have to go in person. Someone will do it for her and send it to her.

After all, Bai Su Su's identity is here.

The eldest daughter of the Bai family holds military power.

Whether in the spiritual world or in the secular world, her power is incredibly strong.

Although Bai Su Su did it secretly and used Prince Teng as a cover, after Bai Su Su had a falling out with the previous trading party here, this matter was no longer a secret in the eyes of the high-ranking officials of Tianqu Mansion.

Therefore, the more noise the Water Dragon King and General Chi Lian of Kunling Mansion made, the more high-ranking officials of Tianqu Mansion looked at these two people, as if they were looking at fools.

When the cranes and clams fight, the fishermen benefit.

However, because Bai Su Su is a woman, although the people here are afraid of Bai Su Su, they don’t care much.

In their opinion, when the world is unified in the future, it is impossible for this person to sit on the throne.

Bai Su Su was waiting for the elixir, and Tan Mohe continued to stroll with the little princess. Several nearby county towns are within the sphere of influence of the Prince Consort’s Mansion, so their safety can be guaranteed.

One day, Tan Mo came down from the restaurant and met an old friend who surprised him.

"Brother Yun Yizi." Tan Mo knew that Yun Yizi didn't like him, so he deliberately moved in front of him and took the initiative to greet Yun Yizi, who looked a little down and out, to provoke him as much as possible.

Beside Yun Yizi, there was Yun Yizi's wild sister Xiu'er. Xiu'er was dressed in men's clothes at the moment, but because of her fair complexion, she looked like a pretty boy.

"Miss Xiu'er, aren't you two in Qingxu Temple? Why are you here in Tianqu Prefecture?" Tan Mo greeted and asked by the way.

Yun Yizi was born in Qingxu Sect. After his brother usurped the throne, he was driven out to guard a small broken Taoist temple - Qingxu Temple. After all, it was near Ningjia County. How did he come to Wenluo County in Tianqu Prefecture?

It took several days for the treasure ship to cross over. Ordinary ships would take more than a month to reach Tianqu Prefecture.

But no matter what, when you meet an old friend in a foreign land, you should fight to the death first.

"Could it be that the current head of Qingxu Sect drove you here?" Tan Mo changed the subject and continued.
