The three of them haven't done anything yet. They just watched the main hall and solved a lot of confusions about their previous cultivation. Now they have acquired such a brilliant skill that is almost tailor-made for them.

Guan Luoyang warned: "Practice hard first. In a few days, you will have to show off your skills and verify your progress."

Dongfang Jieduo asked: "I just said that I was going south. The first step should be Yuzhou, the territory of Wenxiang Sect, right?"

"That's right. The ancient Central Plains, known as the hinterland of Kyushu, the thoroughfare of ten provinces, the nurturing place of the Yellow River and Luohe River, and the breeding ground of tens of millions of people, is now occupied by a group of evil thieves who amass wealth and fool the people."

Guan Luoyang snorted and said lightly, "My surname is Guan and my name is Luoyang. If we don't pacify the land of Heluo first, how can we be satisfied?"

Moreover, the methods that the Bagua Cult are preparing to use must also be centered on that piece of land.

As soon as Guan Luoyang finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the palace.

This golden hall, because the Xiaokong Star Elephant Formation was generated inside, has been tempered by so many heavenly thunders and has become a good magic weapon, which can be called the "Xiaokong Mingbao Palace".

With a single thought, Guan Luoyang can make this palace lift off the ground, levitate, and fly slowly.

However, he was determined to understand the cultivation methods of ancient civilizations and use them to supplement his own path. He also needed something practical. As soon as his mind changed, he changed his approach.

………………

The topography of Yuzhou is from north to south, from the east to the west, with the west being higher and the east being lower.

The north, west and south sides are composed of Taihang Mountain, Funiu Mountain, Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain, and are distributed in a semi-circular shape along the state boundary.

The central and eastern parts are the Huanghuaihai alluvial plain, and the southwestern part is the Nanyang Basin.

After the Wenxiang Sect occupied Yuzhou, they established their main altar in Kaifeng Mansion in the east of Yuzhou.

Kaifeng Mansion was originally known as the "Ancient Capital of the Eight Dynasties". Although it sometimes suffered military disasters over the past dynasties, it still has various historical relics left and construction has been very prosperous.

After the Wenxiang Sect's headquarters was set in Kaifeng Mansion, the senior leaders of the sect not only occupied the land and built mansions, but the leader Xu Shouru also carried out extensive construction projects.

The most prosperous city in Kaifeng Prefecture is surrounded by five lakes and four rivers. Fifty years ago, Xu Shouru claimed that he would build nine palaces based on the image of the five lakes and four rivers.

Over the past fifty years, these nine palaces were successively selected and built by him.

Among the nine palaces, he only loved the palace where the Iron Tower was originally located.

The Kaifeng Iron Tower has 13 octagonal floors and is known as the best tower in the world. It was built during the Northern Song Dynasty. In order to build a new palace, Xu Shouru disliked the old iron tower and knocked it down and rebuilt an 18-story tower.

This new tower is also known as the Tianxiang Tower. Xu Shouru often entertains guests on the highest floor. It is often said that guests can see the goddess descending to earth, see the clouds of the fairy palace, and enjoy bliss there.

On this day, early in the morning, the disciples of the Wenxiang Sect began to get busy in this high tower again, preparing for the evening banquet.

The leader had long ago ordered that for tonight's grand banquet, he must treat distinguished guests to the highest standards. If there is any slightest neglect, the more than 800 disciples who are usually in charge of the Tianxiang Tower will be punished.

Before I knew it, it was already evening.

Octagonal glazed palace lanterns have been hung under the eaves of each floor of the Tianxiang Tower. Smokeless candles are burned inside, and the light and pleasant osmanthus fragrance is lit.

The disciples of the Wenxiang Cult in the tower were carrying lamp trays, spiraling up like revolving lanterns. The lights were brightly lit in layers, shining brightly from top to bottom, illuminating the surroundings for miles.

In people's residences dozens of miles away, there were also people looking out of the windows of low-rise houses.

The eyes of the child lying down by the window were filled with the lights of the incense tower that day, and there was a little bit of bright light in his dark eyes. He shouted with a smile: "Dad, Mom, I smell the aroma of meat coming over there."

"

The mother-in-law was leaning against the window, mending clothes by the moonlight. Hearing this, he scolded: "Go to the ball. We are dozens of miles away. How can you sniff a ball?"

The father patted his child and said with a smile: "I smell it too, it's really meaty. It's not from over there, it's from Li Ergou's house at the end of the street. His family has some spare money, although they can't afford it.

It’s a big restaurant, but you can buy some good spices.”

"The incense made by the masters in the church is much cheaper than the real delicacies, but the smell is said to be exactly the same."

The woman who was mending clothes sighed: "I finally saved some spare money, but I gave them all this frivolous fragrance to get rid of. The fragrance is not really good for the stomach."

On the top floor of Tianxiang Tower, Xu Shouru has slowly taken his seat.

The tip of his nose moved slightly, and he had already smelled the plate of fried tongue on the table in front of him. Because the disciple walked too fast when he came, the heat was blown away, and the aroma was a little lighter.

There was a waiter nearby who was observing his words, and he knew something was wrong with his eyes, so he hurriedly brought a new plate of fried bird tongue and replaced the previous one.

Because today's banquet is a moment later than the scheduled time, and it was only notified at short notice when the time comes.

There are many delicious and fresh dishes in the kitchen that need to be eaten while they are hot, so we have to prepare them separately. The portion that we prepared before is piled there. It is estimated that we will not be able to finish it in the future, so we will just throw it away.

Fortunately, I have prepared multiple portions of the ingredients before, so even if I postpone it a few times, I can still prepare the freshest and complete banquet.

"Tonight, I came to entertain the envoy at a banquet."

When Xu Shouru spoke, he first bowed his hands to a middle-aged scribe sitting beside him.

The middle-aged scribe, with three long beards, extraordinary appearance and elegant demeanor, smiled and said: "Master Xu has worked hard and made great achievements. Soon he will be listed on the official genealogy of my temple. He has a close friendship with me. Just call me Xie Manjiang."

Yes."

"Don't dare, don't dare, just give me a shout to thank my brother."

Xu Shouru laughed loudly and said to the other side, "Brother Ye, the general of the Yellow Flag who came from the Taihang Thirteen Banners Army, is also a rare guest. We just happened to have a gathering together to have a drink and talk about romance."

"I didn't expect that a messenger from the Ming Dynasty would actually come, Brother Zhu Yongzhong, what an unexpected surprise!"

Naye Huangqi returned the greeting to Xu Shouru.

A man in a blue robe and a jade crown next to him smiled and said: "Although the Daming Society is far away in Yongliang, separated from the Wenxiang Sect by an entire territory of the Bagua Sect, our prince has always admired such elegant people as Master Xu.

Order me to bring a gift."

This Zhu Yongzhong is the reason why this banquet was postponed.

Someone next to him handed a brocade box, and he stood up, took it, opened the brocade box, and unfolded a calligraphy and painting.

The fairy's house is full of heavenly fragrance, with a piano, a sword, and a cup of tea. The feathers are often smoky, so they don't offend the peach and plum blossoms in the world.

"This is the authentic work of Bai Yuchan, a master of the Song Dynasty, and it fits the name of the leader of Wenxiang."

Xu Shouru was surprised when he saw it. He looked at it carefully and couldn't put it down. After putting it away, he toasted Zhu Yongzhong three times.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while. Although everyone had their own thoughts, they were all smiling broadly.

But at this moment, Zhu Yongzhong suddenly said: "Actually, my prince sent me here this time, and there is another important matter, and he wants me to inform the leader."

Xu Shouru's smile faded slightly, still holding a wine glass in his hand: "I don't know what it is, please tell me clearly."

"This matter is of great importance. It is a secret that we, the Ming Society, accidentally discovered."

Zhu Yongzhong looked solemn and said, "In the past two years, the Bagua Sect has planned an earth-shattering plan. Once it is launched, it will probably drastically change the pattern of Yuzhou and affect the foundation of the entire Wenxiang Sect."

"Our prince admires the Wenxiang Sect's reputation and sent me specifically to explain this matter so that the leader can be on guard earlier."

As soon as these words came out, the Wen Xiang Cult Right Protector, the Incense Master, the Cult Master's nephew, etc. who were serving as the guests all had strange expressions on their faces.

Some people sneered unabashedly, looked at Zhu Yongzhong, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Obviously, she didn't trust his words at all, and she even felt that he was being alarmist and might have a conspiracy.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Xu Shouru's face calmed down, and he suddenly burst into laughter. With a smile on his face, he said, "I have been wary of the old thief from the Nine Palaces of the Bagua Sect for a long time. I have not seen him launch any methods into my territory in the past two years. Could it be that this so-called big plan is?

Does it have to show up suddenly in one day?"

"This unexpected plan can shake the foundation of Wenxiang Sect and change the entire pattern of Yuzhou. Could it be that he is planning to send someone to assassinate me?"

The old man couldn't stop laughing. He stretched out his thumb and pointed at the building.
