At this moment, Lord Juezhen felt that his words were righteous.

If you don't know him, you might think he is the kind of person who respects the imperial court very much and is willing to sacrifice his life for it.

However, after Zhou Qing thought about it for a while, he understood what Lord Juezhen meant.

It is hard to say whether the world today is an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity, but it is definitely not a world of turmoil and chaos. There is a set of rules and order that constrains the world.

When practitioners fight and kill each other, it seems that people die frequently and it is quite brutal, but it is actually within the scope allowed by this set of rules and order.

But if any force openly attacks ordinary mortals and kills mortals in an area on a large scale, it is absolutely not allowed and is a clear violation of the rules.

The practitioners and forces that can exist openly in the outside world may not all be reputable and upright, but they are definitely not unforgivable, at least on the surface.

If the Tianlong Sect directly launched a war to exterminate the Yun Family because of the death of the Master of Shenglong Peak, no one would accuse them of breaking the rules.

The imperial court didn't care whether they fought or not. Instead, they would rather see rivers of blood.

However, if the Tianlong Sect were to attack a large number of people in Heiyun Town because they could not do anything to the Yun Family, the imperial court would certainly not sit idly by.

The people of a town are actually insignificant to the imperial court, and are just a tiny fraction of the total population within the territory of Da Qi.

But Da Qi couldn't just remain silent.

If Tianlongmen dares to take action, then Da Qi will have to take action to protect Heiyun Town, and even label Tianlongmen as a demon sect and have the whole world fight against it.

Wantonly killing civilians is an act of the devil.

If Da Qi does not take strong measures against such behavior, then Dong Zhou and Southern Jin will not be polite and will let you see the power of the mouthpiece of "foreign forces".

Because of these reasons, if Tianlongmen was not determined to join the evil camp, it would never take action against Heiyun Town.

Even with the support of the West Sea Dragon Clan, they would not dare to act recklessly in such matters.

The West Sea Dragon Clan itself would not do such a heinous thing, let alone the forces he supports.

In today's world, among all races, the human race is the strongest.

Among the Taoist traditions, the Tao grows and the devil disappears.

This can be seen from the situation of the strong people on the Mountain and River Common People List.

Many things need to be done within the rules.

After figuring out some of the key points, Zhou Qing was all smiles.

"The Tianlong Sect must be very angry."

Lord Juezhen smiled calmly. At this time, Bai Tian said, "I am willing to join the Black Mountain Holy Land and take on the position of a guest elder. I hope you will take care of me in the future."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Lord Juezhen's face deepened.

"It's a good omen that a master like Master Bai has joined the Black Mountain Holy Land just after its establishment."

A token appeared out of thin air and floated in front of Bai Tian.

"This is the guest elder token of the Black Mountain Holy Land. After you acknowledge the master, this token will only represent you, Master Bai."

"From now on, Master Bai's status in the Black Mountain Holy Land will be equal to that of a formal elder. With this token, you can freely enter and exit Black Mountain. A cave will also be reserved for Master Bai here, and you can come here to practice in seclusion at any time."

"And the guest elder has other offerings. Someone will explain it to Master Bai later."

Bai Tian took the token and took a closer look. The token was all black. One side was engraved with a mountain, similar in shape to the Black Mountain, and the other side was engraved with a river with a cloud floating on the river.

They are all just simple drawings. Although they are relatively abstract, this thing is a small magical tool. The magic of Taoism allows people to clearly capture what the pattern on the token represents.

Zhou Qing watched this scene and thought to himself that the Yun family might have had plans for the Black Mountain Holy Land long ago, but they only brought it to the forefront when the mountain god fell.

After all, this kind of guest elder token looks like something that was prepared long ago.

Then Lord Juezhen handed Zhou Qing another token, which was still pure black, but the pattern on this token was different from the one during the day, with pictures of black mountains engraved on both sides.

"This is a token of the Black Mountain Holy Land. If you, Zhou Qing, need to find me for something in the future, you can come to see me directly with this." Lord Juezhen said.

"Thank you, senior."

Zhou Qing put away the token. The God was quite nice.

Bai Tian added, "The Holy Land has just been established. If there is anything I can help with, please feel free to ask."

At the moment, it seems that he is taking full advantage of the agreement between him and the Yun family.

When the mountain god fell, there were no villains who took the opportunity to cause trouble in Black Cloud Town, so naturally there was no need for him to come out to maintain order.

Originally, if the Yun family was destroyed, he would be needed to go to a place later to carry out the second thing in the agreement. But the Yun family is doing well now and is thriving, so he is no longer needed for the second agreement.

Now I really don’t have to do anything during the day.

As a result, he has now become a guest elder. Not only does the Absolute True God allow him not to work and go anywhere he wants, he also pays him a salary...

Although it was very relaxing, his higher moral standards during the day made him feel that he should still do his best.

Otherwise, I would feel guilty taking this money.

"The prosperity of Taibai Martial Arts School is the greatest help to the Black Mountain Holy Land." Lord Juezhen said, "If Master Bai meets the right person after his travels in the future, it would be even better if he could recommend him to the Holy Land."

"If we can discover another outstanding genius like Zhou Qing, the prosperity of the Holy Land will be just around the corner."

“…”

During the day, I was completely speechless.

Discover another genius like Zhou Qing?

I'm sorry, it was me, your little disciple, who came to you to learn martial arts on my own initiative. It was not me who discovered you.

Not only did she fail to discover it, my daughter even almost persuaded Zhou Qing to give up.

"Master Bai, Zhou Qing, if you have any other questions about the Black Mountain Holy Land, someone will answer them for you later."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Qing and Bai Tian understood what Lord Juezhen meant.

This is an order to expel them, telling Zhou Qing and the other two that it’s time to leave.

But Zhou Qing can't leave because his treasure chest hasn't been opened yet.

Zhou Qing looked behind Lord Juezhen. The bluestone hall was very empty, with only other things at the back.

It was a statue. Its appearance was blurry and unclear, but it should be the fallen Black Mountain God.

When the Yun family worships gods, they will definitely only worship this one.

There is a table in front of the statue, with an incense burner on the table, with green smoke curling up, creating a dreamy and hazy atmosphere.

Zhou Qing looked at these things and suddenly said, "Senior, can I pay my respects to you?"

Lord Juezhen was slightly stunned, then he understood what Zhou Qing was saying, and then he nodded.

"You have the heart, go ahead."

Zhou Qing stood up and walked towards the desk. Bai Tian also did the same thing, so he let Bai Tian start first.

As for Zhou Qing himself, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and tried his best to appear solemn, not allowing himself to show the slightest abnormality, otherwise he was afraid of being beaten.

The mountain god statue is in front of me, and he hasn't even passed the seventh day yet, what's the point of being so excited? But this excitement is really hard to suppress, because the treasure chest is on the table where the incense burner is placed. It attracts all of Zhou Qing's attention, and it is as dazzling as the sun! Purple, white, green, gold...

That’s right, this is a four-color treasure chest! Needless to say, this is the first time Zhou Qing has seen a box of this level!

If the venue had been suitable, Zhou Qing would have celebrated vigorously.

The first moment he entered the Bluestone Palace, he discovered the four-color treasure chest, but he had been trying his best to suppress his surging emotions.

This is not a place where he can mess around. The treasure chest is right in front of him. There is no need to rush.

Now that the opportunity has come, Zhou Qing has begun to look forward to what kind of earth-shattering treasures he can get from this four-color treasure chest.

A three-color treasure chest was opened below, and a four-color one was directly refreshed here. It's really powerful.

I declare, [Mysterious Treasure Box], a temporary god!

After burning incense during the day, Zhou Qing immediately took action.

Take the incense, light it, bend down and worship, then insert the incense into the incense burner.

After his hand reached out to the table, the treasure chest opened directly, and then the treasure inside was taken away by him without anyone noticing. A treasure from the Biluo Realm or the Tongtian Realm was obtained.

Great! Thank you for the protection of the mountain god, thank you for the blessings bestowed by the mountain god...

Zhou Qing muttered to himself that his respect and gratitude to the mountain god were like a surging river, endless and reaching its peak.

Without the existence of the mountain god, he would have no chance of coming into contact with the four-color treasure chest in Tianyue County.

After worshiping the mountain god, Zhou Qing and his companion left the bluestone temple. As soon as they walked down the mountain top, they saw Venerable Tianhe standing on the path, gazing into the distance.

"Master Bai, Zhou Qing, please follow me."

It can be seen that Venerable Tianhe was waiting for them specially.

The two followed Venerable Tianhe and told him during the day that they had become guest elders of the Black Mountain Holy Land. This news made Venerable Tianhe laugh.

"Then it seems that I will have to call you Elder Bai from now on."

Now we are really one of us.

Venerable Tianhe said: "Elder Bai is the first guest elder of the Black Mountain Holy Land. The ancestor personally decided to give Elder Bai very generous treatment."

Zhou Qing heard this and asked curiously:

"Venerable, it is said that you once traveled around the world in secret, and you must have many friends. My master is actually the first guest elder?"

Venerable Tianhe said helplessly: "In the past, it was difficult for the Yun family to recruit outsiders with strong strength. It was all because of the restrictions on gods by Da Qi."

"This kind of restriction is not just talk, nor is it superficial. Da Qi really has the means to more accurately monitor the development of the divine families within Qi territory, such as deducing the secrets of heaven."

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

"The secrets of heaven would not be so accurate if placed on a normal expert, but the relationship between the imperial court and the gods is special, so it is relatively simple to deduce the gods."

"As a god, the causal relationship is extremely complex. To some extent, Da Qi is the greatest god in the world, the god of the country!"

"So the court has many ways to monitor the God Family."

"For the ancestors and other strong men of the Yun family, it's okay because they have the blood of the Yun family and their fate and karma are connected to their ancestors. Even if Da Qi secretly monitors them, the ancestors will bear the responsibility."

"But if we recruit outsiders before that, then in the eyes of the court, there will be very obvious traces that will be monitored, which Da Qi will not allow."

"So the development of the Yun family was greatly restricted before."

Zhou Qing heard this and found it very strange. The imperial court actually attacked the gods? Yes, in terms of thoughts and incense, what gods can compare to the country itself? This is the greatest "god".

No wonder, although the God’s Family cannot actively expand and cannot publicize their faith, it has never been said that the God’s Family cannot practice.

The court’s restrictions on gods are undoubtedly closely related to these monitoring methods.

They cannot limit their inner strength, they can only limit their external strength.

Zhou Qing sighed, "The imperial court is really wary of the gods."

Reverend Tianhe shook his head. “Although I feel helpless, I can understand it.”

If a god spreads faith unscrupulously, the consequences will be terrible.

Imagine if the people in every county believed in a certain god, prayed at home every day, and did not work, what would be the consequences? Even worse, if they developed into fanatics, and the god could make a large number of believers die for him at will, how terrifying would that be?

Faith can exist, but it must be under control and must not become rampant.

This is the truth summed up from all dynasties.

There are indeed bloody examples in history that serve as a warning to future generations.

Tianhe Zun looked at Bai Tian again and said, "According to the ancestor's intention, Elder Bai will be rewarded with a matching real weapon, and..."

He told Bai Tian about the salary of Bai Tian, ​​the first guest elder, which was very generous. Bai Tian immediately became polite after hearing it.

That's not possible.

“Elder Bai, there is no need to refuse. The Yun family can easily produce a real weapon.” Venerable Tianhe smiled.

"As the first guest elder, Elder Bai deserves this treatment."

Even the mountains outside can produce true blood-level refining materials, so this blessed land will only become more prosperous.

The Yun family has reserves of real artifacts. After all, they are also a kind of hard currency.

After some persuasion from Venerable Tianhe, Bai Tian finally accepted these benefits.

The benefits of having a background are immediately apparent.

"The Black Mountain Holy Land will make some moves later." Tianhe Reverend said, "Elder Bai, you are all on the same side. Let me tell you about the Holy Land's future plans. Do you have any suggestions?"

"We plan to build a city to serve as a residence for outsiders. If a large number of people flow in in the future, Black Cloud Town may not be able to accommodate them."

"At the same time, the establishment of a new city can also attract more people to settle here. In the new city, there will be new rules, such as taxation, which will be beneficial."

A new city means new opportunities, and it can be said that there is gold everywhere!

Coupled with the existence of the Black Mountain Range, the rich resources of wild beasts and natural resources, as well as the attraction of the Black Mountain Holy Land and Taibai Martial Arts School, it will definitely attract more people to come here.

As soon as Venerable Tianhe opened his mouth, he made a big move and wanted to build a city right away!

"Are you going to expand Black Cloud Town?"

"No, keep Black Cloud Town and build a new giant city in the opposite direction of Black Mountain."

Tianhe Zun explained: "Black Cloud Town will not be moved, and will be given a more noble status. At that time, it is expected that other forces in the town, such as the Lin family and the Crazy Blade Martial Arts School, will be moved into the new city."

"Only Taibai Martial Arts School remains in Heiyun Town. The resources in Black Mountain also flow into Heiyun Town first, and then flow to the new city. Then the new city flows to all directions."

"It is expected that Black Cloud Town will become a special place. Any events in the Black Mountain Holy Land will be held in the town."

“The new town gathers a large population to enrich its foundation, and the old town changes its nature.”

Zhou Qing and Bai Tian listened silently. The Black Mountain Holy Land's future arrangements regarding Black Cloud Town would undoubtedly be beneficial to them, so they had no objections.

"By then, the Black Mountain Holy Land will also formulate its own rules and regulations, and will also recruit talents from the entire Tianyue County."

"We plan to close Black Mountain for a few days later, and temporarily not allow people other than the holy land to enter or leave. The reopening time is yet to be determined."

"Holy Land..."

"We plan to use five years to basically establish a complete Black Cloud Holy Land system."

Venerable Tianhe said a lot of things. Although they were not secrets, knowing them in advance would be an advantage, allowing Taibai to be more at ease when dealing with the changing situation in the Black Cloud Realm in the future.

Although Venerable Tianhe had said in advance to see if they had any opinions, they actually had nothing to say about these plans.

The Yun family had already made the decision, so there would definitely not be any major problems, and it would not change because of a few words from others.

Reverend Tianhe didn't really expect them to come up with any earth-shattering plans, he just wanted them to integrate quickly.

Zhou Qing nodded frequently, and after Venerable Tianhe had finished speaking, he asked a question.

"Your Excellency, will the court have any objections?"

The Montenegrin Holy Land's future plans are very organized and will be very helpful to the development of the Holy Land. However, there is only one problem: it ignores the existence of the imperial court too much.

Whether it is building a new city or formulating and promoting the rules of the Black Cloud Holy Land, there are some minor conflicts with the laws of Da Qi.

Judging from what Venerable Tianhe meant, he would take over the Black Mountain Holy Land in its entirety in the future, or at least dominate this area.

In this way, the majesty of the government will naturally be greatly reduced, and its presence here will become infinitely low.

Reverend Tianhe waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The court will understand and support us. Powers that reach a certain level will have special privileges in the court."

"Whether it's the new city or Heiyun Town, there will still be people from the government, and the Ghost and God Department and Dingwu Department will also be there."

"Under the five-year plan of the Black Cloud Holy Land, this area will only become more prosperous, which will be beneficial to the government."

“…”

Zhou Qing finally understood that the imperial court was just a tool of the major families. It would be used when needed and ignored when not needed.

This world does not belong to the emperor, but to the major aristocratic families.

Dynasties may change, but noble families will exist forever.

Local governments should compromise with local families and live in harmony.

The central court must also compromise with the famous families in the world and respect each other.

The respect that the imperial court gives to the famous families in the world is to allow them to enjoy privileges.

The respect that the famous families in the world give to the imperial court means that they nominally respect the imperial court.

Venerable Tianhe took Bai Tian and the other person to a place and paid Bai Tian a salary first.

The bulk of the salary is the real weapon. Since there are already weapons during the day, the real weapon is chosen as inner armor.

His weapon was made by the Yun family in the past.

Then the two of them went down the Black Mountain. Zhou Qing had already sensed the next treasure chest. He followed the sensation and after just a few steps, he saw the treasure chest.

The moment Zhou Qing saw the treasure chest, he was overwhelmed by surprise.
