Chapter 232: Powers (2)
The six major alliances, the White Elm Tower, the grain officer and the Yu Guogong forces behind the mayor, the small Guhu Town, nestled against the twelve towering mountains, has become a gathering place for great events.
Luo Xuanyi's original plan to gather materials was just to cause a conflict between the townspeople and the alliance, but she didn't expect that there were so many intertwined forces behind the scenes. Coupled with Xu's illness, although it is not apparent now in Guhu Town, it will surely be very lively in the future.
It is estimated that the time will not be long. By the end of this month, when a large amount of materials are all in Luo Xuanyi's storage bag, at least the trading house will be greatly shaken. Maybe there will be some ways to manipulate it.
However, these were not things that Luo Xuanyi wanted to worry about. She waved her robe and returned to Ma Xinghua's three-courtyard house. She was too lazy to repair the collapsed houses and stood in the courtyard to cast the sound transmission talisman.
A golden light flashed, and almost instantly, Ding Jing Zhenren's voice transmission technique established contact with Luo Xuanyi: "I'm in a safe place, what's the matter?"
The sound transmission technique is different from the sound transmission note. Although communication is more convenient, it is easy to intercept and leak information. Therefore, Luo Xuanyi is still accustomed to using the sound transmission note like the monks of Zang Yao Sect, but Zhenren Ding Jing returned to the sound transmission technique.
She paused, too lazy to argue with Master Ding Jing about this. If his identity was revealed, he would be the one to worry. She went straight to the point, "Could you possibly transfer some spiritual herbs and demon beast materials to Guhu Town... No, to the nearby Yilan Town?"
Ding Jing Zhenren had already made up his mind to follow Luo Xuanyi. Without asking her why, he immediately began to consider the possibilities. "I'm currently stationed in Longlan City, monitoring the Ghost Buddha. The alliance has granted me permission to act at my own discretion. Sending someone to deliver a batch of materials is feasible. However, I can't deliver them to Yilan Town. They're probably near the ruins of Xiaohe City. They're going to be rebuilt there, and a new Heavenly Street will be built for the monks to stay. So the excuse is reasonable."
"Alright, I'll go rob them then." Luo Xuanyi, determined to make the most of every trip, added, "Remember to find an excuse to ask the formation cultivator to deliver the materials."
Zhenren Dingjing was somewhat curious about Luo Xuanyi's obsession with formation cultivation, but he had lived for so many years after all, and he would never ask about such matters unless Luo Xuanyi told him, so he just agreed.
"By the way, how much material do you need? Too much might not be enough."
"How severe is the shortage of supplies among the six alliances?" Luo Xuanyi asked.
"There is a shortage of materials below the level of Yuanying cultivators, but materials for those above the Yuanying stage are available freely." As a Yuanying cultivator, Ding Jing Zhenren is naturally not restricted.
"Well," Luo Xuanyi thought for a moment, and after estimating the materials for the eight formation flags, he said, "Ten thousand spiritual herbs, eight thousand whole monsters, regardless of grade."
“…You can joke around, too.”
"I'm not joking, just follow this quantity." Luo Xuanyi said seriously.
Ding Jing Zhenren gasped, "Such a large amount of materials would probably be enough for a small sect to build a mountain protection formation. If all of them were robbed, it would be a major case. The sect would definitely have to send a large number of people to investigate."
"So this is the number that can be mobilized." Luo Xuanyi accurately grasped the key point and said neatly, "You don't need to consider other things. Just mobilize according to this number. Remember to inform me when the application is approved." Then she unilaterally cut off the sound transmission.
Ding Jing Zhenren had just said the word "wait..." when he was cut off. He rubbed his solar plexus with a headache and sighed to the sky.
There was a knock on his door. The disciple who had brought the information about the ghost Buddha had been waiting for a long time. Master Ding Jing calmed down, brushed his sleeves, sat down, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
"Yes." The disciple returned and clasped his fists. "The Ghost Buddha has arrived in Laiyang City, near the former Xiaohe City. The people in the city have all been evacuated to the surrounding cities. There are still no casualties."
Ding Jing Zhenren pondered and asked again, "Is it true that no one was injured? Is it true that the ghost Buddha never hurt anyone?"
The disciple who had received the letter was also hesitant, but he still replied with what he had seen: "The Ghost Buddha never harmed anyone, nor did he even use any magic, he simply walked. He seemed to simply want to rest in the city and then continue south. The eldest sister speculated that the Ghost Buddha must be planning to cross the Zhongqu Mountains and return to the Great Freedom Hall."
Ding Jing Zhenren tapped the table with his fingers. The Ghost Buddha had nearly destroyed Longlan City, yet that devastating aura had completely subsided?
If that's the case, then perhaps it's not so special that the Ghost Buddha doesn't hurt people, but it's the fact that they hurt people that's special. Is there anything in Longlan City that the Ghost Buddha wants to destroy?
Or is there some other secret?
The disciple who had received the letter looked at the pensive Master Ding Jing, mustered up the courage to take out many letters, and presented them to him: "Master, besides the news about ghosts and Buddhas, there are also these letters."
"Who presented this?" Zhenren Dingjing could tell at a glance that these were not the letter papers used by the six major alliances. When he took them, he found that there were more than ten envelopes, each of which was thick and heavy.
The disciple said helplessly, "They were all sent by the lords of the various towns under Longlan City. They are very dissatisfied with us evacuating the people to their cities. They jointly submitted many letters, saying that there is not enough food, land, and housing, and the people will become idle refugees if they go there. They asked us to find another way to accommodate these evacuees."
"What are you talking about? Aren't they all subjects of Emperor Dayan?" Master Ding Jing picked up a letter at random. Before he could shake out the letter, a thick stack of gold flakes slid out. His face suddenly turned green.
The disciple who wrote the letter was also stunned, and then a wave of anger rushed to his face, and he looked very angry.
"What do you think of us?"
Slamming the stack of envelopes on the table, Ding Jing Zhenren said in a deep voice, "No matter how friendly the Ghost Buddha is now, before leaving the jurisdiction of the Six Great Alliances, the people in every place they pass through must be evacuated! The rules are the same in every city! Return these, and don't submit these letters in the future."
The disciple who had received the letter responded, picked up the letters indignantly and left in a hurry. Neither of them noticed that among the thick envelopes were several pieces of paper with ink stains on them.
