Revisiting Future Path

493 The Charm of Longevity

Liu Ye couldn't help but doubt Zhou Yu's intentions.

By 208, the total number of longevity seeds was only 29. As for the known immortals, Wei Dongsheng’s Absolute Sacred Gate gathers 17 human immortals, Zhou Yu’s Abnormal Treasure Camp gathers 3 human immortals, and the non-human race has up to 9 immortal seeds constantly circulating. Furthermore, as the Absolute Sacred Gate and Yibaoying were filtered over and over again, some survivors of the Longevity Seed gradually refreshed to the depths of the rare-traveled caves and rivers and lakes under the circumstances of deviation, greatly increasing the difficulty of capturing. Over the years, it has become more and more difficult to collect the seeds of longevity. How could Zhou Yu give the opportunity to the Sacred Sect?

Liu Ye questioned and said: "As far as I know, after eight years of painstaking treasure hunting, the Alien Treasure Camp has barely obtained 3 alien treasures. They were refined by you, Lu Zijing and another battlefield Titan. The so-called monsters are all. It is a monster born by swallowing the heaven and earth by mistake, and extracting the life essence of the fish demon can sacrifice a strange treasure. The county guard is willing to give up this god-given opportunity?"

Zhou Yu smiled and explained his doubts: "It's not hypocrisy, but really powerless. Ziyang (Liu Ye), you should know that there are strong and weak points. Lu Boyan (Lu Xun) can beat four or five me, and Wei Dongsheng can beat four or five. Lu Boyan. This monster that devours the world’s treasures can also be strong or weak. The weakest fish monster is just a fierce fish with stronger strength, and ordinary fishermen can catch them; while the strongest fish monster can surpass us. Imagine."

The Absolute Sacred Gate was more convenient for research. Liu Ye had the opportunity to disclose some information to Zhou Yu: "However, about two years ago, some tyrannical monsters appeared sporadically in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains. Absolute Sacred Gate then adopted certain standards to judge strengths and weaknesses, like me. , Rated as a level 1 stranger; such as Lu Xun, rated as a level 2 stranger, such as the master (Wei Dongsheng), rated as a level 3 stranger. All kinds of monsters are also rated, level 1 monsters, without wisdom, barely called Fierce beasts; Level 2 monsters, slightly spiritual, will take the initiative to run away in danger; Level 3 monsters not only have deeper spirituality, they even master some unique fighting skills. Ordinary hunters can easily hunt level 1 monsters, but also can barely fight If you win a level 2 monster, you will lose if you encounter a level 3 monster."

Zhou Yu closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, and said solemnly: "Peng Lize's monster fish should be a level 3 monster."

Liu Ye was slightly shocked.

Over the years, the number of monsters has decreased, and high-level monsters have naturally become more rare. In the records of Absolute Sage Menping Demon Hall, the record of level 2 monsters is less than ten, and there is only one record of level 3 monsters. Thinking of the grand occasion when Ping Yaotang captured Level 3 monsters last time, Liu Ye didn't pay attention to Peng Lize, a Level 3 fish monster.

Liu Ye asked the details: "Why does the county guard say that the fish monster is a level 3 monster?"

Zhou Yu: "Sun Zhong sought to return from Huang Zu and ordered me to drive Penglize. While Penglize was waiting for the garrison, Lu Zijing and I took a boat to observe the terrain of Penglize, and we suddenly encountered a fish monster attack on the way. This fish monster sprayed water like an arrow. We shot and killed a guard in an instant. Fortunately, the boat was close to the shore and the fish monster sprayed water with a limited number of times, so we could barely save our lives. Then I gathered more than a hundred fishing boats to hunt around, but unexpectedly this monster fish was not afraid. , Smart escaped the fishing net and killed four or five fishermen. Of course, we still had the opportunity to hunt this monster fish. Unfortunately, Sun Zhongmou set up Qichun County to take Xunyang County, but it disrupted our plan."

Liu Ye nodded to express understanding.

Both Zhou Yu and Lu Su are Level 1 immortals, and it is extremely difficult to hunt down Level 3 fish monsters with their personal martial arts, and if they deploy troops and generals to use human tactics, it is easy to attract Sun Quan's taboo. Besides, Zhou Yu no longer restricts the foreign treasure camp from spreading, and the level 3 fish monster news will also be leaked to the Ping Yaotang quickly with great probability. In this case, Zhou Yu may be the best choice to sell it to Jue Sage.

This kind of friendship is just a matter of favor.

However, falling on Liu Ye, Liu Ye can make some contribution points from it.

Liu Ye sincerely thanked Zhou Yu: "Thank you."

Zhou Yu smiled and said you're welcome, but then asked Lu Kang along the way: "How is Lu Jining's health recently?"

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Humanity is, the white-haired young man. Over the years, Lu Junshou has been getting younger and younger."

Zhou Yu: "Lu Jining has three in his 80s this year, right?"

Liu Ye: "Calculated based on the customs of the Absolute Sacred Gate, 82 years old and 83 years old."

Zhou Yu skipped the calculation method of the imaginary year of the first year and was surprised: "As the saying goes, it is rare in the past seventy years. At the age of eighty-three, Lu Jining is still active in the mountains and wilds. It is really a wonder."

Liu Ye thought for a moment, and suddenly opened his eyes and relaxed his eyebrows: "The county guard sent me news of level 3 monsters, and I also sent a message back to the county guard. The disciple of the Supreme Sacred Sect spread a rumor from word of mouth that this world can not only cure all kinds of problems. Miscellaneous diseases can also help people live longer. The anti-aging medicine that Qin Shihuang painstakingly searched for back then is a treasure of heaven and earth."

Zhou Yu laughed and questioned: "The old medicine is an exaggeration."

Liu Ye didn't smile: "The anti-aging medicine sounds exaggerated, but Lu Junshou is getting younger and younger, but we can see the facts with our own eyes."

Zhou Yu smiled suddenly.

After a few polite sentences, Liu Ye bid farewell to Zhou Yu and returned to Black Rock City.

Watching Liu Ye's figure go away, Zhou Yu muttered to herself: "The elixir of life!"

After a long while, Zhou Yu turned to look at Lu Su: "Zi Jing, is there really an elixir in the world?"

Lu Su stared in the direction of Liu Ye's disappearance: "Is it hard to say whether the elixir of life is not? The sense of inner strength will definitely prolong life. Last year, I visited Lu Kang as usual, and it happened that he was practicing swords in the courtyard, but he saw him jumping and moving like an ape. , The sword light is like electricity and like snow, there is no sign of an 80-year old man. Until Lu Kang reclaimed his sword and laughed to greet me, I was so late at that time that the sword practitioner was surprised that it was Lu Kang instead of rumored. The little sword immortal Lu Xun. Looking closely at Lu Kang's face, he has a lot less gray hair and a lot less wrinkles. Just looking at his face, I guess he is fifty-seven or eighteen at most."

Zhou Yu thoughtfully: "The eighty-three-year-old man seems to be only fifty-seven-eight years old. This sense of inner strength is really mysterious."

The camera moved to Liu Ye again.

After Jueshengmen took control of Lujiang County in the north, it moved its office to Lu'an County. All trivial documents related to the interaction with Yangzhou Governor Liu Fu and Situ Cao Cao were handled in Lu'an County. However, the headquarters of the Supreme Sacred Gate is still stationed in Blackstone City, and the foreign exchanges between Lu Kang, Liu Fu and Lu Kang must also be delivered to Blackstone City for review on time. Heishicheng does not directly manage the northern Lujiang County, but is more like the superior department of the Lujiang Prefect.

Thanks to the accumulation of various political, economic and cultural resources, Black Rock City is prospering year by year. Three years ago, Lujiang County in the north abolished Shan County and moved the county seat of Longshu County to the southeast of Heishicheng, which is the southeast of Heihe River. Perhaps because Longshu County has a longer history than Heishi City, perhaps because Longshu County’s name is better than Heishicheng, or because Wei Dongsheng doesn’t care if the place is called Heishi or Longshu County, the Longshu Jue Sacred Gate gradually replaced the Heishi Jue Sage Gate. the trend of. If the Jue Sage Gate is not restricted and controlled, in five years and ten years, the Long Shu Jue Sage Gate or Long Shu City's Jue Sage Gate will probably become the current standard statement.

The re-planned Longshu County has a population of about 70,000.

Both the county seat of Longshu County and the first developed Heishi City are in an easy-to-defend and difficult place surrounded by cliffs. Seventy thousand county residents are scattered or densely distributed in plains, hills, and valleys. Because Longshu County is surrounded by mountains and cliffs, geographical transportation has severely restricted economic development, and the area of ​​arable land and agricultural level have also severely restricted the population size. The new county towns of Heishicheng and Longshu County, as well as surrounding villages and towns, have a total of more than 9,000 residents.

Wei Dongsheng chose to settle here because of its military location.

There are high mountains in all directions, and there are only three broad mountain trails outside, and the rest are rugged mountain trails. Wei Dongsheng only needs to send troops to defend the three broad mountain roads, and he can resist the barbaric conquests of various warlords with ease. If the enemy dared to take the rugged trails, the immortals under the Supreme Sage Gate can calmly kill the invaders.

What is the strength of the longevity?

Regarding the battle on the battlefield, even Wei Dongsheng, a Level 3 immortal, is not capable of defeating a thousand-man soldiers frontally; in terms of maneuverability and assault ability, no elite soldiers are as reliable as the immortal team. Moreover, Wei Dongsheng has long reproduced some black gunpowder weapons that enhance the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers. The immortals carried black gunpowder weapons and rushed across the mountains to attack the enemy's front. Whether they burned the enemy's logistics rations or killed the main generals, they could defeat conventional troops. temper. And if the front-line war is unfavorable, the Jueshengmen headquarters can be easily transferred to the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains to continue the guerrilla struggle.

Let alone gossip.

When Liu Ye returned to Heishicheng or Longshu County, Limingtang was organizing the Qingzhuang to repair the military fortress.

Liu Ye knew very well that these military fortresses were not built for the nominal enemy Zhou Yu, nor for Sun Quan, but rather to guard against Cao Cao, the nominal lord of Lujiang County in the north.

The latest news came from the north. Cao Cao heard that Liu Biao's illness was difficult to save. He opened a basalt pool in Tongque Tainan, Yecheng, and trained sailors. The meaning of the southern march is well known. Although Cao Cao first chose Jingzhou as a breakthrough point, Yangzhou was also asked to rectify its combat readiness to stop Sun Quan’s fight against the beasts, and to check household registration in order to appease Yangzhou in the future. Liu Fu was loyal to Cao Cao or the central court, and Hefei's defense system was stable over and over again, ready to hand over his Jiujiang County to Cao Cao at any time.

In Lujiang County, whether Lu Kang in Lu'an County or Wei Dongsheng in Longshu County took Cao Cao's orders as waste paper, there was no intention to actively cooperate. A little bit of political wisdom can understand that unless Cao Cao can easily defeat both Jingyang and Yangzhou, the northern Lujiang County will inevitably continue to listen to the announcement.

Liu Ye sighed in his heart: "We still have to fight!"

However, Liu Ye is not entangled.

Fighting wars, anyway, whether Wei Dongsheng wins or loses, Liu Ye is ready to save his life.

Liu Ye came to the Mansion of Jueshengmen and asked the guard staff Wei Dongsheng where he was, and walked to Yu Heng to pay respects to Wei. Supervisor Yu Heng is a brand-new department set up by Wei Dongsheng, which is subordinate to Limingtang, the Absolute Sacred Gate, and is fully responsible for the development of weapons, the manufacture of artifacts, and the unification of weights and measures. In addition, Wei Dongsheng's work on the reproduction of advanced natural science knowledge, such as the manufacture of black powder weapons, is also in charge of Yu Hengjian, which can be simply regarded as the early prototype of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Industry.
