The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

Daozu is Cthulhu Chapter 348 Zhang Hu

Li Fan saw this guy's 'power of connections' all the way, and followed Eunuch Zhang all the way through the border and into the deep palace.

There is no scenery at all on both sides of the corridor. They are high walls with arcane runes. The red walls and gold tiles stretch to the horizon. You can't see the end at a glance, and your spiritual consciousness cannot be cast through the wall.

After all, this Taiweiyuan is a serious government agency. After passing the heavily guarded entrance guards outside, the people coming and going inside are all old civil servants holding documents and eunuchs. A concubine wearing a bellyband and swinging on a swing, or a lace fairy skirt wearing a hairdress and practicing asceticism. So much so that in such a situation, it is impossible to express one's temper. It would be a pity to copy a poem.

Li Fan followed Eunuch Zhang as he walked along the palace corridors. There was no one around for a while, so he tried to test him by saying,

"Eunuch Zhang is a famous person in Sanyuan. He has such wide acquaintances. Even the Weaving Company, which is rich in oil and water and is robbed by various factions, has your sworn brother to help you. He is your close friend who comes and goes. I must not say that he is too much. Weiyuan, the whole Sanyuan matter has not been hidden from you, right?"

Zhang Shu quickly turned sideways and said with a smile,

"Your Majesty really loves to joke. Those of us who serve others are all unlucky and humble people. We serve the Lord carefully on weekdays, so how dare we neglect it? Isn't this because I am worried that my talent is dull and clumsy, delaying the Lord's instructions, so I just make more friends on weekdays, and I have someone to help me when I encounter problems. I also know more information, so I don’t have to run errands somewhere and make the adults in Miyuan unhappy, so please forgive me."

"Haha, you are still stupid, there are no smart people in the world," Li Fan said with a smile, "And I think you are extraordinarily bold. You dare to sell silk in Tianshi. Master Miyuan will be really happy when he knows about it. Woke up?"

Zhang Hu glanced at Li Fan carefully and said with a smile, "Master, please don't scare me. Adults live in the sky and stare at the mountains, how can they know such a trivial matter."

Li Fan smiled cheerfully and took out the Taifu's jade pendant to show him, "You know, I took all the stolen goods and took you Jinlan brothers to confront the Taifu.

Haha, if you smuggle fairy silk, you must at least be sentenced to death, right? By the way, have you ever seen someone cut in half? Before I die, I can write you three miserable words. Can you write the miserable words? "

Zhang Hu's face immediately fell, and he begged with a mournful face, "Don't scare me, Your Majesty. I am a dedicated and loyal man, and I have no intention of neglecting Your Majesty!"

Li Fan smiled, patted Zhang Hu on the shoulder and said, "You are indeed brave. You can do great things without even peeing. Okay, okay, we are all smart people, so don't beat around the bush." Ok, you took me into the palace just now, and you took two extra detours and passed two more hurdles. With your connections, you should have found out my details, right?"

This eunuch is really something. If Li Fan hadn't had a photographic memory and the method of mental examination to remind him, he recognized that there was a gatekeeper who appeared twice. I'm afraid this guy would have been fooled right under his nose. .

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Hu's forehead, he was trembling, and he forced a smile on his face and said, "The king's eyes are as bright as a torch, and he can't hide anything from you. I never expected that you are a master disciple of Lou Guan Tao in Mozhu Mountain."

The villain has been serving people in the palace since he was a child, and he has never seen anything outside Sanyuan. I must think that Mozhu Mountain is a treasure land with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It is indeed a place with outstanding people! Only this kind of fairy mountain can give birth to such a suave, handsome, wise and powerful hero as the king! "

Li Fan smiled and said, "Haha, okay, I like you the most, an honest person who tells the truth. Then let me ask you, what is the price of the raw silk in the Weaving Department, how much goods are there, and you said it would be shipped to Tianshiyuan tonight, Which other companies are bidding?"

Zhang Shu bent his waist, rolled his eyes three times and replied, "Mo, could it be that... the prince is not using it for his own use, but wants to buy fairy silk for Mozhu Mountain?"

Li Fan looked at him with a smile, "So what. Now that I have your sworn brothers to help me, I must not seize this opportunity to buy tens of thousands more of his horses and cut a bellyband for the Taoist monks! Why, Are you afraid that I can’t afford the money?”

Zhang Hu opened his mouth and said with a sneer, "Tens of thousands of horses... Junhou, is this your first time here on a silk-picking errand?"

Li Fan frowned, "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't be coy."

Zhang Hu was ashamed, "Your Majesty, in fact, the workers in the Weaving Department have been divided into many places. Only silk reeling is left in Taiweiyuan. Every season, there are soldiers from the Taifu Mansion who have cultivated the secret skills of the caves elsewhere." Fairy silkworm cocoons are transported to the Taiweiyuan Weaving Department workshop. After mixing, peeling, sifting, selecting, boiling, and reeling, they can be turned into silk, and then escorted by the imperial army to Tianshiyuan for auction.

During the silk reeling process, there will inevitably be losses, also known as reeling. Even with the current yield rate of Taiwei Weaving Company, to make a hundred kilograms of raw silk, the consumption of raw cocoons is usually more than four hundred kilograms. . A hundred pounds of raw silk, usually used for tailoring, can be woven into more than ten pieces of silk. If it is used to weave charms and make treasures, the consumption will be even greater.

But fairy silkworms are difficult to raise, not to mention the secret method to refine them into Yuanying and transform into gods. Where can I harvest so many Immortal Cocoons from the Divine Transformation Realm? Even though it is said to be the best silk from the Immortal Transformation Realm, 30% of it is made from mixed pure silk from the Nascent Soul Realm. Among the Tianshi silk in the Nascent Soul realm, the proportion of Jindan realm spiritual silk mixed in is even higher, even as much as 50%.

It's just that the Weaving Department has inherited it for many years and has the secret refining method of fairy silkworms. Therefore, the quality and output of raw silk far exceed those of San Francisco. Moreover, the demand at Yuntai Peak is too great, so the Immortal Family in the mountains compromised on the share, as long as the quality is It’s acceptable, just accept it reluctantly…”

Li Fan heard that what he said was conclusive and not like lies, so he knew in his heart that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Zhang Hu went on to say, "If you, the Lord, use it yourself, it is nothing more than asking the sworn brothers in the Weaving Department for help. You can use your pen to pick out a hundred or ten kilograms and count it in the reel."

But if it is a sect-level purchase, the nine major Xuanmen all know how much Miyuan's fairy silk is produced. With so many pairs of eyes staring at it, there are more wolves and less meat, and even the little one can't help..."

Wow, isn't this a waste of time?

Li Fan couldn't help but frown, "Tell me first, how much is the output of the Weaving Department."

Zhang Shu calculated in his mind and replied, "According to the usual practice in previous years, this batch can probably be made into 10,000 catties of fairy silk, 400,000 catties of real silk, and two million catties of spiritual silk. Among them, each of the nine great Xuanmen will take a thousand catties of Wanyu fairy silk. , if there are any leftovers, send them to Yuntai Peak for backup. They must not be touched.

The 400,000 kilograms of pure silk is the bulk of the Central Plains Immortal Family's bidding, and the Taoist sects are gathered together. Recently I heard that Emei Mountain was closed, and they will probably be absent this time. However, according to the usual practice, Songshan, Hengshan, and Penglai will definitely not lose, and they will probably be absent. Take half of it, and without Emei bidding, maybe Penglai will get more.

As for the remaining spiritual silks, it is the family's turn to purchase them. Why don't I ask a few more questions and ask for 20,000 to 30,000 spiritual silks for Guishan? "

Li Fan frowned, "Huh? Wait a minute, doesn't Penglai have silk from Zhenzhou? Why does he want more?"

Zhang Hui spread his hands and said, "Penglai is rich. Now the princes all have a gourd of Changchun Pills."

Dry! Manifestation is really not a thing! Changchun Dan is so inflationary! This Mozhushan bidding is a ghost!

Well, the bidding for this kind of genius treasure really shows which forces are at the top of the list now. Other sects may still buy according to their needs, but the four mountains in front of Xuanmen have failed every time, and even though they obviously have abundant resources, they have to squeeze the space of other forces for a long time. The competition between the forces that are lagging behind will only become more fierce. The gap between front and back will only grow wider.

And Asgard seems to have all the advantages and can bid for the auction, but in fact it does not. He couldn't keep any of the fairy silk he produced at home, and the genius Dibao was replaced with the evergreen elixir mass-produced by ordinary herbal medicine. What's so cheap about it? You said that you can choose your clan members first, but you actually have to use the name of Yanzhe to sneak around, dig at the money, and use some to make a few new clothes...

Alas, the Immortal Lord knows in heaven that the emperor's descendants are in such a miserable state, and they will probably cry...

But this is a bit tricky...

Li Fanzhi frowned. Since the bidding in Tianshiyuan also involves the competition between Xuanmen, it is actually of no use to seek accommodation from these immortal palaces. It seems that the eunuchs can make a profit by taking advantage of the Weaving Department to take care of the clan, but this is also done under the premise that it will not affect the overall situation of Xuanmen's accounting.

Once Li Fan plays tricks and does too many things, Xuanmen will definitely notice the problem. This might as well be like Xuantian's plan and grab it openly...

Xuantian, "Hey, who told you to rob openly? I mean you start a sword fight and kill all the bidders. In this way, one code is one code. You kill the person personally, but the sect pays for the things. Yes, don’t make it sound like we are taking things by force and being unreasonable.”

Yes, the money spent is also a ransom for kidnapping, right? It is really self-sufficient, cause and effect are self-consistent, and the logic is closed. I admire you, Jiang is still hot...

Xuantian said, "Ho ho ho, that's not the case!"

…

It's a pity that Li Fan can't adopt Beichen Jian Zongliu's bidding strategy now.

The dignified Xuantian Sword Ancestor can of course use the sharp sword in his hand to play whatever he wants. But now Mozhu Mountain is surrounded by enemies from all sides, so it can't withstand such a torment. What's more, Li Fan still has the heads of all his fellow disciples in Moshan in his arms, and their bones are still cold...

At this time, Zhang Hu cautiously asked, "Does the prince really want to make silk? But I heard that Lou Guandao attached himself to the Taifu, and your title was also expressed by the Taifu. Why didn't you ask the Taifu to come forward and talk to Songshan?" Immortal Lord, would you like to transfer some shares?"

Li Fan glanced at him and asked, "Yes, why not?"

Zhang Shu was really smart. He rolled his eyes and said, "So that's it. Firstly, now Taifu is mainly using troops against Zhenzhou, and there is still a big battle to be fought in Kunzhou. The south is not the main one. Secondly, after all, it's still the Songshan side. Alliances are more intimate and important. There is a difference between closeness and distance. It is not worth offending old friends. Although Sanzhu Mountain is newly attached, we should not be too generous. Weaken it a little, suppress it a little, and appease it a little. It is also good. The way to govern."

This guy is quite shrewd. It seems that Miyuan and those serving tea and water also know some important things in the world...

Li Fan didn't have a clue for a moment, so he said, "Well, don't waste time here. You can take me to the Weaving Department to see the terrain first. Your sworn brothers are determined to escape. Maybe they have a way to help. It’s not necessarily true if I buy more goods.”

The eunuch Zhang Shu was stunned for a moment, then he immediately smiled and said yes, leading the way.

Li Fan followed him, but the further he walked, the farther he went, the farther he went, and the more he walked, the more something was wrong. He was walking in circles as if a ghost was beating a wall. He didn't find anyone ambushing him, nor did he notice any illusions or poisoning. Then I'm just afraid...

"Zhang Hu, are you looking for death?"

Knowing that he had been discovered, the eunuch suddenly turned around, knelt down towards Li Fan, and raised his head, "Boom!" ’ You have to knock it on the ground.

"The villain suddenly forgot the way to the Weaving Department, please forgive me!"

Li Fan's eyes instantly turned cold. Seeing the other party's behavior, he immediately understood.

Good guy, in a place like Sanyuan, you really can't reveal your true purpose at all...

"...Are you worried that I won't be able to hold myself back and snatch the raw silk? Or that I might cause trouble in the Weaving Department and implicate your master and servant? So you took me in circles and wanted to waste me here until the batch of raw silk for bidding was escorted to heaven. Shiyuan, right? Haha, how about this, you take me to the Weaving Department, and I will just look at the door and not go in."

Zhang Hu gritted his teeth and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I really don't remember."

Li Fan sneered, "When Bei Gong Wuji asked me when I got out, you said you suddenly couldn't remember the way?"

Zhang Xing worshiped in the middle of the palace road, blocking Li Fan's way and saying nothing.

Li Fan knelt down and looked at him coldly, "Do you think this is Taiwei Immortal Palace, so I don't dare to cut off your head and fight all the way out?"

Zhang Hui was covered in cold sweat and gritted his teeth.

"The villain is a crippled and humble person. He was promoted and appointed by the Ming Dynasty. He is regarded as a confidant. I can't repay the kindness of knowing him! And thanks to all the brothers, I will not give up, and we will live and die together! What about the villain? How can we not go through fire and water, and sacrifice our lives to accompany each other! They are all useless villains! If you want to relieve your anger, please behead the villain!"

Li Fan chuckled and said, "Hey Zhang Hu, you are so loyal and courageous! It seems that you have made a bet that your young master will not blame his loyal servant for a casual friend? You have made a bet that I am a southern Xinjiang man. Shanren, why don’t you become a duke’s slave, right?”

Zhang Hu gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his eyes to stare at Li Fan, "Do you regard my young master as a friend?"

Li Fan couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhang Hui knocked his head on the ground and almost roared, "I hope you know that my young master is kind and generous, polite and virtuous, and very righteous! He will definitely do what he promised his friends!"

But now Ziweiyuan is afraid of the young master's talent, Taiweiyuan is jealous of the young master's wisdom, and Tianshiyuan is jealous of the young master's reputation! There are countless pairs of eyes around the young master, looking for his flaws! If the Lord does a small favor for the Lord today, he may risk killing someone tomorrow!

What's more, this time the monarch clearly wants to do something for the master's sect and seize the silk from the Nascent Soul Realm! No matter what, this is something that offends Xuanmen!

Although Zhang Hu is just a disabled and humble person! I also know where loyalty lies! We must not see the young master being dragged down by his friends for the sake of loyalty! To be involved in such a fatal disaster! I only ask you to be considerate of your friends’ difficulties! "

Li Fan was choked by him and was speechless for a moment.

"No, what do you mean by that? I just want to buy a few kilograms of silk, and I'm not leading your family to rebel. How can I be killed?"

Zhang Hu replied, "The princes don't know the dangers of Sanyuan! Those who can drink and chat happily today can kill the whole clan tomorrow! The dangers of the Yi people are caused by small things. Such small things are not uncommon!"

The princes know that the Taifu has the ambition to dominate the world's cities and conquer the world, but do you know that the Taifu's eldest son, Pingxiang Hou, the commander of the Central Guard Army, has long harbored disobedience! He is a particularly resolute, forbearing, cunning and ruthless, cruel and cold-blooded hero!

The villain has many friends who are walking around the streets of Sanyuan, and they secretly find out that he has raised a large number of dead assassins, and is helped by the Beichen Sword Formation. He has repeatedly attacked qualified princes in the clan, and the prince is his number one target! His wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed!

Now that the Immortal Dynasty was defeated in the Kun Kingdom, the three princes took the blame, the world was in turmoil, and many heavenly kings and spiritual officials were missing! No one in the court can check and balance the Taifu Mansion! All the guards in Sanyuan and Sifang fell into the hands of his Sima family!

The young master's many friends in Xuanmen are his last support. How could he get involved in the incident at this time, cut off his arm, and fall into the hands of the Central Guard Army!

Please spare the life of my lord! If you want to take it, take the villain’s head! "

Li Fan was speechless. Why is this world full of psychopaths with persecutory delusions? But what else can be said, because this is indeed the way the world is.

Li Fan stared at the back of Zhang Huan's head for a while, then sighed, "That's it, forget it if you don't help."

Zhang Hu still bowed to the ground, "Thank you for your understanding! I will prepare a hundred catties of real silk and ten thousand catties of spiritual silk tomorrow and deliver them to my house!"

"Come on, you're just sending the beggar away."

Li Fan rolled his eyes. After all, he had drank a glass of wine and bloomed a flower. It was quite embarrassing to kill someone's confidant, not to mention...

"What do you mean by the Central Guard Army needing help from the Beichen Sword Sect?"

Zhang Hu raised his head and looked at Li Fan, who was silent for a moment. "You ask this, aren't you afraid of getting involved in the conflict between the clan and the Tutor?"

Li Fan rolled his eyes, "Hey, I really want to give you a kick... Okay, okay, just treat it as a friend. If you hear that another friend is in trouble, just ask him casually."

Zhang Hu looked at Li Fan for a while and nodded, "These people are masters under the Central Guard Army. They all practice the secrets of Beichen Sword Sect. They have repeatedly used the invisible sword energy, Tiangang Seven Star Sword Formation, Qiankun Feilong Sword and other Beichen Sword Sect's signature swords." Secret swords, various flying swords, and secret swords to kill people.

Over the years, qualified clan disciples have been assassinated one after another in the Sanyuan Forbidden City, and even Xuanmen masters have been killed repeatedly, but the origins of these assassins have never been traced.

The villain has only heard rumors that the Marquis of Changping Township received the inheritance of the Xuantian Sword Ancestor at Yuntai Peak, and thus gained the allegiance of these sword sects from the outer mountains.

He is the eighteenth generation head of Beichen Sword Sect. "

Li Fan, Xuan Tian, ​​"...fuck."
