Human Shackles

There was a knock on the door, and this time a woman with a cold temperament walked in. She was Zuo Qiuyue, the minister of the finance department. As the department in charge of money, Zuo Qiuyue's status was much higher than that of other middle-level department heads.

She didn't talk nonsense, and immediately reported to Luo Kai the current financial situation of Jiuji Sect.

Luo Kai felt even more stressed when he heard that Jiuji Sect had less than 700 million in cash in stock. This seemed to be an extremely huge number, but in fact, for a production-oriented sect like Jiuji Sect, it could only maintain a few months of operation.

Jiuji Sect is essentially a factory. The monthly salary of the hundreds of thousands of disciples in the sect alone costs tens of millions, and the huge amount of energy required to operate various machines and steel furnaces is also astronomical.

In fact, many things are false. Money and interests are the foundation for maintaining stability and unity. If a large amount of funds are not raised as soon as possible within a month or two, civil strife and collapse may really occur.

Luo Kai asked tentatively: "Is there any way to solve it?"

Zuo Qiuyue said calmly: "Yes, there are two ways. First, stop all production in the production department and pay all employees the lowest salary. This can last for a few more months. Second, borrow money."

"loan?"

"Tianjie Bank has stopped our loan and is still delaying the loan of 300 million yuan. Now we can only go to some private banks, such as the Star World Consortium."

Luo Kai frowned. It seemed that the first problem he had to solve when he became the leader was money. In fact, the Jiuji Sect and the Star Boundary Consortium had never dealt with each other. There had been only one small conflict between the two. Recently, There is no need to worry, but it is difficult to get a loan.

The ability of the Siji Sect to achieve its current influence and ranking is closely related to the achievement of the Haotian Tower. Xie Yuan suddenly said to himself that he might not have any deep meaning.

In addition, there are branch dojos in the more than a hundred star realms above, and the total number of disciples may not exceed a few million. Although a small number of dojos in the upper realm are basically responsible for their own revenue, they are not much less. It needs the support of materials and manpower from Tianjie General Sect.

The Haotian Pagoda has two towers. The mother tower is located in Zuoqiu Yuetian and is the treasure of the Siji Sect. The sub-tower is a keepsake of the Siji Sect and should be carried with you.

"Please step back." Luo Kai stood up and went to greet him. Miluo Tianzun told me the identity of Xie Yuan last night. For that kind of existence, whether he leaves or stays in the Siji Gate, he can be reluctant. To stay, at most, one must be given the position of deputy leader.

There was a knock on the door, and Ye Qiuyi leaned back and said solemnly: "Xie Yuan asks to see the leader."

Xie Yuan took a sip of tea, looked at Luo Kai quietly for a while, and then focused on a large tower under the desk, which was the scaled-down version of the Haotian Tower.

To this day, the ten small artifacts are still circulated, and each has become the treasure of some clans. Among them, the Pangu Ax, which can open up the world, is collected by the Tusita Palace, and the Xuanyuan Sword, known as the Sword of the Saint, is in the hands of the Xuanyuan clan.

But the disadvantage is that the family is small and the business is small. It is difficult to maintain the operation of such a huge empire. Generally, it is a novice like Luo Kai who has been in the heaven for many years and has not established resources and connections.

The advantage of that kind of giant sect is that the family is small, the business is small, and the foundation is deep. The Zuoqiu Yuetian Sect alone has only a few hundred thousand disciples, and the general cultivation level is below 70. The disciples in their 80s and 70s have not lost tens of thousands. .

But the whereabouts of two pieces are not yet clear. They are the Kongtong Seal and the Nanwa Stone. "

There seems to be nothing we can do about it. Compared with other sects like mine, the Siji Sect is more like an enterprise. It mainly produces mechanical heavenly weapons. Its dependence on the heavenly court is too slight. We must find a way to lift the sanctions, otherwise it will be like a source. The water will be boiled to death very slowly.

The so-called Yang God actually refers to women, and it does not mean that Emperor Donghua manages all goddesses.

I don’t even know what Min Jing said. Those ancient artifacts cannot be said to lay the foundation for the prosperity or decline of various top powers. We all have heaven-defying effects and destructive powers.

Xie Yuan stood up, walked behind the attic window, looked at the floating island circulating in Zuoqiu Yuetian, and said: "In the small battle between the ancient lich and the demon clan, the witch clan and the demon clan each made seven artifacts. I hope to use those artifacts to His power established his status. Originally, the Witch Clan's artifact was even weaker, but unfortunately they lost.

Emperor Donghua didn't have his own orthodoxy, so the famous Penglai Immortal Island, located under the East China Sea of ​​Xiaoluotian, was a gathering place for casual cultivators.

I can't help but feel some regret in my heart. That leader was really bad, and his hard work was second to none. I am sure that the Siji Sect was destroyed by my hands. This is a small crime.

Xie Yuan still had this indifferent expression, but he was happy that he had not sat down as the leader. He smiled at Luo Kai and said, "Congratulations, Leader Luo."

Later, Luo Kai learned more about Emperor Donghua. He was also a minor expert from the ancient times. His origin could not be traced back to the end of the ancient times. He attained enlightenment during the reign of the next emperor of heaven. He became a sub-sage and was known as the head of the Yangshen. , responsible for controlling the divine books.

The Fuxi Qin, which can control the souls of all things, is hidden in Biyou Palace, and the Demon Refining Pot, which cannot refine all things, is in Yuxu Palace.

Therefore, in terms of Min Jing's appearance, she is not a person with an independent personality, but the Donghua Emperor.

"I've heard some about it," Luo Kai said.

For low-level practitioners, in particular, it is relatively difficult to recall the memories of reincarnations between eight lives. However, the memories after eight lives are basically complete, and there is the possibility of sorting and merging them. Only some unforgettable and persistent things can still leave an impression.

"Thanks."

Luo Kai lay down tiredly. During the conversation that day, I learned about the operation method and general situation of the Four-pole Gate.

Since the Siji Sect has advanced physical science and technology and can manufacture mechanical heavenly weapons in small batches, it is impossible to build a huge armed force that can sweep through the eight realms in a very short period of time.

"Master Luo, does he know about the ten ancient artifacts?" Xie Yuan asked.

Luo Kai invited Min Jing to leave the room and made me some fragrant tea himself. After thinking about it, he still called him: "Brother Xie, Tianzun didn't sit down for the military training last night. I asked you to convey my apology to him."

The Shennong Cauldron, which can refine gold and stone and extract the essence of vegetation, is owned by the Shennong family. The Kunlun Mirror, which travels through time and space, is in the hands of the Holy Mother of the Yaochi of Kunlun Mountain.

The Donghuang Bell, which can suppress all realms, is in Xiaoluotian Palace, and the Haotian Tower, which has the ability to control time, is in their Siji Gate.

Taiweidong looked at me, as if he wanted to say something else, but he didn't, so he stood up and left.

At best, that kind of divine object can always receive the illumination of the essence of the sun and the moon, and the moistening of the aura of heaven and earth, so under special circumstances, it is kept in the inner room, or directly entrusted to the hands.

"Dong dong."

I nodded: "It's bad, you know."

Sure enough, Xie Yuan turned his head, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable luster, and said anxiously: "You know the whereabouts of the Kongtong Seal."

Xie Yuan sighed, with some sadness on his face, and said: "Yes, it's you who have troubled Tianzun. Alas, the seven declines of heaven and man, you and other living beings have to hide in the past."

That's why Heavenly Court is more afraid of the Sijimen and must be included under its command.

Before coming to the Siji Gate, Luo Kai crammed in a lot of secrets and knowledge about the heaven outside the library.

It may be one of the few things that can pose a threat to Tianzun and even Yasheng. It is said that the little machine emperor was not killed by Pangu's axe.

Of course, Min Jing may recall some of Emperor Donghua's training or ideological insights, which makes her own spirit and thoughts far lower than those of the same level, so my temperament appears to be very otherworldly.

It was a force smaller than Pang and comparable to the Tianlong Legion, the first armed force of the Douban.
