Chapter 275: Times have changed, but the old friends remain the same (Second update, please give me a monthly ticket~)

Du Yuxi is a native of Xiangxi and a casual cultivator. He used to be hanging around in Xiangxi, but in recent years, due to the rampant evil spirits in Xiangxi, the survival of casual cultivators was in danger, so at the last Tulongshan Water and Land Avenue Conference, he was introduced to go to Lushupo in Shizhou to avoid the limelight.

However, not long after he arrived in Shizhou, he heard that the entire family of the notorious Lost Soul Gorge had been wiped out. The news spread widely in the Wuling Mountain area at the time, causing a great sensation.

It was later confirmed that the ones who took action were Taoist Cheng from Sanqing Mountain and Taoist Shen from Sanyuan Mountain, who were also the North and South Kuixing who were killing people in Shizhou at that time, and both of them were Taoist descendants of the Shizong Sect.

He immediately had an idea. After all, it was hard to leave his hometown. If there was no such a big disaster in Xiangxi, he would want to go back.

However, everyone around him advised him that although Lost Soul Gorge was gone, the more ferocious Tianjiao Mountain was still there. Du Yuxi thought about it and it was better to be still than to move, so he gave up the idea. At that time, he also said this to his friends,

"It would be great if the master could take action again and destroy Tianshao Mountain as well."

Everyone said it was impossible at the time, because Lost Soul Gorge had been destroyed before, but it was just that it could not be completely eradicated and would grow again in the spring breeze. However, the Tianqiao Mountain had been passed down for thousands of years without any change. After all, the ancestors had been in the four realms. To a large extent, the corpses in Xiangxi were famous because of Tianqiao Mountain. How could Lost Soul Gorge be compared?
The Golden Elixir Dao Seed can destroy the Lost Soul Gorge, but if one wants to get rid of Tianshao Mountain, it will take the intervention of the fourth or even fifth realm, and one will also have to bear the cause and effect of the mountains and rivers. As long as Tianshao Mountain does not cause chaos in Xiangxi, no great cultivator will take action.

Du Yuxi actually understood this principle, he was just thinking about it.

But no one expected that after Du Yuxi thought about it, things would actually work out!

This time it was still Taoist Master Cheng from Sanqing Mountain who took the lead, no, now he should be called Master Cheng Jing, together with Taoist Master Song from Gezhao Mountain, Taoist Master Shen from Sanyuan Mountain, Taoist Master Wang from Juqu Mountain, as well as disciples of the four major sects of Sanqing, Shangqing, Lingbao and Jingming and people from the four major Feng Shui families in southern Jiangxi, they converted everyone in Tianshao Mountain inside and out.

This is a great blessing!

The most important thing is that despite such a big commotion, the mountains and rivers were not damaged! A dead mountain became a living land, and the Yuan River and Wu River also changed from Yinhe to Yangjiang. This is a great merit.

After that, there were many egrets and fireflies in western Hunan. In the daytime, you could see egrets flying in the blue sky and stopping by the rivers. At night, countless glowing fireflies would fly out of the bushes and trees on both sides of the rivers.

Now, "White Egrets and Green Fireflies" is also one of the eight scenic spots in western Hunan.

After that, Xiangxi suddenly became the best and safest place in Wuling in terms of feng shui, so there were not only egrets and fireflies in Xiangxi, but also large waves of monks poured into Xiangxi.

The four sects and four families basically demolished the Tianshao Mountain and rebuilt it, rearranged the earth and water veins, and changed a place of absolute yin into a place of yin and yang. It is now a branch of the Haoran League.

By the way, the four sects and four families also renovated the Lost Soul Gorge.

After the transformation, the four clans and four families invited the people from the Wuling Water Gang and the Land Gang to a meeting, saying that they wanted to set up a large chamber of commerce. The scope of this chamber of commerce should be wider, not only Wuling, but also include at least the six places of Xiang, Yu, Henan, Fujian, Ji, and Jin. To put it more bluntly, it is to run errands for Haoran League, specializing in transporting goods and dispatching materials. If it can also open up to other places, that would naturally be the best.

Now Haoran League wants to do this, but has little manpower and experience. Having heard that Wuling's Water Gang and Land Gang are very good at it, they asked them if they have any ideas to do it together.

Du Yuxi was certainly not qualified to participate in that interview and discussion, but he could guess that the people from the Water Gang and the Land Gang must have been grinning so hard that their mouths were crooked and their heads were broken.

And this is the origin of the Jinshui Chamber of Commerce.

The Jinshui Chamber of Commerce is always short of staff and recruits people every year. Du Yuxi is a lonely man and wants to find a big tree to lean on in his hometown and make some gold and silver, so naturally he comes to join them.

But not everyone is welcome to join the Jinshui Chamber of Commerce, after all, it is named after the Haoran League. The Demon Sect will not accept them, nor will the independent cultivators and side sects who have too much blood and evil spirit on them.

Du Yuxi was born as a casual cultivator, so naturally he had committed many murders, some of them were killing demons, some were self-protection, and some were killing people for treasure. But generally speaking, he was not a treacherous and evil person, and he was not afraid of being investigated. In the end, he successfully joined the Jinshui Chamber of Commerce.

Du Yuxi found it funny to say that there were only a few good people in the Water Gang and the Land Gang. In the past, they killed people and robbed people without telling anyone. But now, after being recruited by the Haoran League, they would go to feed the egrets by the river when they saw them. It was really evil.

After he joined the Chamber of Commerce, he worked as a bodyguard for a caravan, as a shopkeeper, and even did business openly while secretly spying on the movements of demons and the inside story of Xuanmen for the Haoran League.

He did very well in all his endeavors and was appreciated. Last year, he was awarded more than one or two taels of silver and was transferred here to do his job well.

Du Yuxi had never expected that he would get a real Sha Qi. With this Sha Qi, his thoughts on the future would be completely different. After getting a real Sha Qi and being transferred to the General Headquarters, Du Yuxi had a sense of belonging to the Jinshui Chamber of Commerce.

He is now working as a watergate guard in the headquarters. This is not a humiliation for him, because this position is not that simple. He has to watch the people and ships coming in and out. No extra things can flow out for nothing, and no things from outside can sneak in. He also has to have a good memory. Some distinguished guests and people who cannot be offended must be treated well. If he encounters unreasonable scoundrels, he must not lose the reputation and face of the headquarters.

This is a difficult job, but the salary is high, and he can also take the opportunity to control the high-level water gate artifact, and he can frequently appear in front of prominent figures. Du Yuxi is happy to do it.

He was looking forward to it, thinking that if he worked hard in the association, he would be rewarded with another evil spirit by the association. What he got now was a Yin evil spirit, and it would be best if he could be rewarded with a Yang evil spirit next time, so that he could have a chance to get the golden elixir.

Before, Du Yuxi would not have dared to think about forming a pill with two evil spirits. It was rare even in the big sects. As for forming a pill with the Gang evil spirits, that was something only the descendants of the Emperor Shizong dared to think about.

So Du Yuxi paid great attention to everything after coming to the General Assembly, and he was very clear about what he should remember. He knew that only with a sign could he enter the crack behind him, which was the real Jinshui Gorge.

Those with bronze medals can enter and leave freely, while those with silver medals are honored guests and must be accompanied carefully. As for gold medals, they should be accompanied by deacons. Not many people are given out, and most of them are people from Haoran League and the four major sects.

But Du Yuxi remembered that the words "Golden flow forever, water moistens and prospers" were engraved on both sides of the gold medal. However, the medal in his hand was engraved with "Golden waves surge like jade, water palace welcomes immortals".

When he first came to the association to learn how to do things, he was told many times that only five of these plaques were given out, one for each of the four great Taoist sects that presided over the fasting and hunting of demons at Tianshao Mountain that day, and one for the four major families in southern Jiangxi. If someone came with this plaque, as long as the association leader was at home, the association leader would come to greet him; if the association leader was not at home, the association supervisor would come to greet him.

So who is this person in front of me?
Du Yuxi suppressed the shock in her heart, returned the sign respectfully, and asked in a low voice,

"Do you want to go in and walk around by yourself, or do you need the supervisor to accompany you?"

Cheng Xinzhan naturally had no time or energy to play the game of incognito, so he said,

"Please take me to see someone who can handle things. I have something to ask of you."

Du Yuxi heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that someone from the Emperor Shizong was going to visit incognito. This was a headache. It would be much easier to just give him instructions. So he said,

"Then I will lead the way for you, Taoist Priest. Please."

"Thank you."

The two of them went inside. Cheng Xinzhan looked at the cliffs on both sides. It was even more magnificent than the outside, with a more chivalrous and elegant feel. Especially on the top, there were lotus glass lamps floating, and the soft light made the golden stream, which could not be penetrated by sunlight, look the same as the outside world.

Cheng Xinzhan was amazed at the huge changes and said,

"The last time I came here, the ghost ship hanging on the ceiling was still Bai Wuchang's ghost ship."

Du Yuxi was shocked when she heard this. This was easy to guess. This was easy to guess. It was either Master Cheng or Taoist Shen. It was said that Taoist Shen always had a whisk in his hand. Then the one holding the whisk in front of him must be Master Wanfa in person.
"The Taoist master's magical power has brought life to this mountain stream."

Du Yuxi was very careful when responding to questions, and even when giving compliments she spoke briefly, for fear of offending others.

Cheng Xinzhan smiled when he heard the words, and felt that his previous words seemed to be showing off. Then he said nothing more, and just followed the person in front of him to fly higher and deeper.

At this time, Du Yuxi asked again,

"Master, the head of the guild is not here today. Only two supervisors are here, Supervisor Xiao and Supervisor Shi. I wonder which one you want to talk to, or should you notify both of them?"

Cheng Xinzhan was a little surprised to hear these two surnames, so he asked,

"What a coincidence, are Shiyi Niang and Shi Buyu here?"
