Heavenly Dao Formula

This is not surprising, because food and clothing can be self-sufficient, and the refugees who are willing to follow them do not have much savings, so there is almost no silver circulation within the sect.

The only income of the Salvation Church comes from the local treasury silver seized during the siege, which is basically a source of water, and it is okay to use it to buy some urgently needed daily necessities, but it seems stretched to buy weapons on a large scale.

Judging from what the princess and Xia Fan wanted, Jinxia was not opposed to selling weapons, and even kindly gave a price list. Among them, the weapon known as "air rifle" is the main equipment used by Jinxia's army, and the price of one is as high as three hundred taels of silver, which makes Li Mengyun gasp.

All in all, she needs at least a million taels of silver to reach a relatively satisfactory deal with Jinxia.

While Li Mengyun was staring at the price list in a dilemma, Xia Fan took the initiative to ask, "Is your sect worrying about money? If you can't get the money for the time being, I can also provide other payment methods."

"What is it?" she answered almost instantly. The moment the words came out of her mouth, Li Mengyun realized that she had exposed the inside story of the Salvation Church's lack of money, and her face could not help but feel a little hot. But the threat of evil spirits is real, and the face of the sect does not matter in front of the lives of soldiers.

"Jinxia can deliver some of the goods you want in the form of bookkeeping first. As for the things in exchange..." Xia Fan paused slightly, "I can wait until I go to the patio area to see it before making a decision. In addition, Baiyao Mountain also needs Open to Jinxia City, people who have been authorized by the Bureau can go to Baiyao Mountain to develop resources, exchange technology, or conduct business activities."

This means that a mountain area that has been closed for decades will welcome outsiders.

Li Mengyun frowned, "This... I have to ask the Pope for his opinion. You should know that neither the Qixing Privy Council nor the King Yong want the Salvation Church to continue to exist."

"I understand, so I'm talking about limited opening." Xia Fan said happily, "People who have been certified by the Bureau represent Jinxia's official identity. I can guarantee that they will not be Seven Star's spies or Yongwang's subordinates, evil spirits." Infected people are even less likely."

"You mean it's equivalent to government contacts?"

"You can think so."

Li Mengyun's expression improved a lot, "I think His Excellency the Pope will not refuse. Then... I need weapons, medicine primers and shock lamps, as well as the principles of their use."

If you don't know the principle, the Qi-sensing person will have no way to drive these equipment with the talisman magic weapon as the core.

"Of course," Xia Fan replied, "I will send someone to guide you until you fully master how to use it."

"The Salvation Church will definitely remember Jinxia's help." She suddenly felt that the man in front of her was much more pleasing to the eye—although he was younger, he was more reasonable and far-sighted than most people in power. "By the way, besides that, I have a personal request."

"Please tell me."

"Miss Li and I had a very happy conversation, and I feel like we hate being late." Li Mengyun took a deep breath and said, "Since you also plan to go to Baiyao Mountain, can you let her continue to accompany me during this time?"

...

It can be said that the first meeting with the Salvation Cult went even smoother than Xia Fan expected.

He originally thought that this kind of organization that has been hidden for decades and only came out to stir up troubles until the chaos of the world first appeared would often have a kind of paranoid and arrogance that is difficult to correct, but after talking with Venerable Shengtian, he found that the other party was quite pragmatic. There is no sense of alienation that is beyond human, and the plans are quite precise, which is precisely the basic quality of a mature political system.

Rather than saying that the other party is a sect, it is more like a "regime in exile" that survived the Yong Dynasty.

Since the other party is far from the Heimen Sect, which is rumored to be doing all kinds of evil, the idea of ​​snatching all the people the other party has recruited and giving it to Jin Xia is temporarily shelved. After all, Xia Fan is not sure whether the only way to escape the disaster is by relying on the escape tower. If they have to go to Baiyao Mountain to seek refuge in the end, the situation will be more embarrassing.

Now the Jinxia Army is annexing the Ganzhou Fortress in a destructive way. When he finds out the details of the Escape Tower and the Kingdom of Heaven, Ganzhou will probably be completely under Jinxia's rule. Once the two states are connected, it will be an easy decision for Jin Xia whether she chooses the prophesied escape plan or confronts the evil disaster head-on.

Not far from the auditorium, Xia Fan suddenly saw a white figure in the courtyard.

He immediately walked over.

"It's been a long journey."

Luo turned around slightly, revealing an elegant smile, "Just walk around?"

"Yeah." Xia Fan nodded.

The two of them passed through the courtyard and came to the high place of the villa—he could overlook most of Jinxia City and the sparkling sea to the east.

"I wanted to prepare a gift for you, but I didn't expect to end up empty-handed." Luo Qingqing briefly described what he had seen and heard in Youzhou and what happened to the Luo family, "The farther you are from Shenzhou, the farther you are from Shenzhou. , the more I can feel that the flames of war and disasters are not far away from the world, even if the court collapses and the Privy Council disbands, there will be other people to fill the vacancy of power, and the methods are a hundred times more brutal than the former."

"Because the rogues and defeated soldiers don't need to think about the issue of governance in the future, so naturally they don't have so many worries when they start." Xia Fan turned his head to look at the other party—compared to a few months ago, Luo Qingqing's appearance is not too much. There are many changes, she is still wearing a plain white robe, and she wears a gray cloth eyepatch on her face; her long black hair is dragged to her waist, and the ends of her hair are a little rough. Obviously, she hasn't been taken care of much along the way, but this still does not affect her ecstasy. The temperament of the world.

However, she has undergone some changes. Compared with the strong feeling of a hermit in the world when they reunited, she is not so indifferent at this moment, as if she can be touched by reaching out.

She has truly entered the chaotic and ever-changing secular world from being a disciple of a family full of stars and moons.

"Indeed." Luo gently admitted, "For many people, life has not improved because of the disintegration of the Privy Council, on the contrary, it has become worse. Otherwise, the Salvation Church would not have won over ten people so smoothly. Thousands of people."

"Will you regret your original decision?" Xia Fan was suddenly curious.

"How is it possible?" Luo turned his head slightly, and said without hesitation, "The original order is just a prison. Although it will make some people feel at a loss after breaking it, a better order will also gain space for new life. I think What I’m telling you is that choosing Jinxia City was the most correct choice I’ve ever made.”

She paused, with a natural smile on her face, "In fact, I've only been away for a few months, and this place already makes me feel homesick."

"Really?" Xia Fan couldn't help grinning, winked at her and said, "Welcome home."

"Well, I'm back."

Recently, my physical condition has not been very good, so the update is relatively unstable. I try my best to double update, if it gets stuck, there will only be one chapter, and it will usually be released at 6 o'clock, so I would like to say sorry to my dear friends!
