Urban Sims

Capital city.

A city that was founded only five years ago.

This is the political center of Wancheng Kingdom. It has an important position, so it has developed extremely rapidly. In just five years, it has become a large city with a population of nearly one million.

In addition, because it is located at the intersection of multiple transportation routes, the economic development is also extremely prosperous.

The couple, Ying Shiyu and Mei Qianhong, who were riding in a 20-seat medium-sized luxury high-speed turbojet "passenger plane", gradually descended in altitude and looked at the city below with quite astonishment in their eyes.

"The last time I came here, it felt small and shabby. After a few years, it changed into a completely different image."

Mei Qianhong sighed.

Yingshiyu glanced at the several Lingyuan battleships suspended above the city, changed its course, controlled the plane to land, aimed at the airport runway in the north of the city, and landed slowly.

…

Egret Palace.

Zhou Ming, who was handling government affairs in the official room, put down the pen in his hand and smiled slightly after hearing his secretary report the arrival of his parents.

"They're coming."

"Hey, a man who has lived for nearly four hundred years is still like a child."

Zhou Ming shook his head, put down his official duties, and went to greet and entertain him.

…

In the living room.

"Grandpa, grandma!" the grandchildren shouted one after another.

"Hello great-grandfather, hello great-grandmother!" the great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters also shouted obediently.

"Hello, dear grandchildren, okay!"

With a smile on her face, Mei Qianhong held a three-year-old great-grandson in her hands, and kissed him again and again on the face, with a loving look on her face, but she was very complaining in her heart. After three years of absence, her great-grandson and great-granddaughter have grown so big. There were also three or four more children, all of whom I missed their births, and the relationship with the original grandchildren has become a bit estranged.

"It's all your fault for being such a stubborn old man." Mei Qianhong glared at Taanshi Yu, who was not far away, and he pulled his grandson Zhang Jin aside, smiling broadly and talking incessantly, saying some seductive words.

Zhang Jin shrugged his head with a reluctant expression on his face.

"Mother, you are here." Zhou Ming walked into the living room. Seeing the happy scene of his parents and his children and grandchildren, he smiled slightly and came over to say hello.

"son……"

Mei Qianhong turned around to look, her face suddenly stunned and her voice choked.

Walking up to his son, he stretched out his hand and stroked his face twice. Two tears rolled down his face: "Son, you are old. You are older than before. You have a lot more white hair than last time."

At this time, Zhou Ming was nearly sixty years old, but due to too much hard work in the past few years, he was much older than before.

There are more wrinkles on the face.

His temples are gray, and one-third of his hair is white.

Compared with three years ago, almost two people were down.

Thinking about her son's status as a mortal, his stagnant cultivation, and his lifespan of not more than a hundred years, it is very likely that he will die first. Mei Qianhong is heartbroken and blames herself.

The biggest regret in life is separation between life and death. Immortals live long lives and forget their emotions and desires, but it does not mean that they really have no feelings at all.

Facing the possibility that her dearest ones would leave, and the possibility of the black-haired person giving away the white-haired person, Mei Qianhong suddenly felt a sense of panic in her heart.

And extremely reluctant to part with it.

He is even thinking of ways to extend his son's life.

"It's okay, it's okay, mother, don't cry, my body is still strong."

Zhou Ming gave her a comforting smile, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and wiped the corners of her eyes.

When Taanshiyu on the side saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment and turned his head to the side.

…

Several days passed in a row.

Surrounded by their children and grandchildren, the Yingshiyu couple enjoyed a lot of family happiness, and the complaints and estrangements in their hearts basically disappeared.

Especially Ying Shiyu, at the dinner table, he went from being cold and silent, to speaking, to answering Zhou Ming's words and saying a few words to him. It can be seen that his mouth is still tough, but his attitude has changed. Noticeably softened.

So that day Zhou Ming specially called him to the study and chatted with him alone for a while.

"Boy, why are you looking for me? If you have anything to say, please tell me. I have other things to do."

Tao Shiyu said with her hands behind her back and her neck raised.

"Of course it's about the Melting Pill. I can sell this kind of pill to my father in bulk to your Feiying Sect." Zhou Ming said with a smile.

"Oh~"

Lin Shiyu's heart moved. Did this kid let go so easily and offered to sell him the magic pill? Two days ago, he was still thinking about how to talk to him.

"Um, how do you sell it, and how many spirit coins are there per piece?"

Based on the constant consumption of one pill a day by those students studying abroad, the price of the Ling Ling Pill should not be very expensive.

But it won't be cheap. After all, in his eyes, the Fusion Spirit Pill has amazing magical effects.

"It's not expensive, 5,000 spirit coins per bottle, 100 pills per bottle." Zhou Ming said.

"so cheap?"

Tassel Jade was surprised, this was too cheap, five thousand spirit coins per bottle, one hundred pills per bottle, 360 days a year, no more than four bottles, total expense no more than 20,000 spirit coins.

As for 20,000 spirit coins, disciples of Feiying Sect can earn it in a month by going down to work in the mountains or serving on the Lingyuan battleship.

What's more, as the "protective sect" of the Wancheng Kingdom, Feiyun Mountain enjoys an annual allocation of 50 million spiritual coins from the Ministry of Finance of the Wancheng Kingdom, which is quite a lot... This is why Yingshiyu has thought about expelling the disciples of the overseas study sect many times. , the reason why I didn’t do that in the end.

After offending Wan Chengguo to death, Feiyun Mountain immediately entered primitive society.

"Yes." Zhou Ming nodded, "Not only is it cheap, but there is no limit on the purchase quantity. You can buy as much as you want."

What?

You can buy as much as you want. Are you wholesale jelly beans?

Ying Shiyu was surprised, but a word came to her ears:

"However, the Spirit Fusion Pill can be sold to you, but you have to agree to a condition. If you cannot agree to this condition, the Spirit Fusion Pill will not be sold to you."

condition?

There are still conditions?

Lin Shiyu frowned and said, "What are the conditions? Tell me."

"Carry out some rectification of Feiyun Mountain, clean up a group of bad apples in Feiying Sect who despise national laws and commit crimes repeatedly, and completely reverse the unhealthy trends within Feiying Sect."

Zhou Ming said, facing the bookshelf, and slowly pulled out a thick book.

"You bastard! Our Feiying Sect is pure and pure. How can we be a black sheep? How can we be evil? As an outsider, what qualifications do you have to interfere in the internal affairs of our Feiying Sect?"

Lin Shiyu was furious. Looking at the back of that brat, she even wanted to slap him to death.

"There is no real evidence, why am I so full that I interfere in the affairs of your Feiying Sect? Every case in this investigation file is true. See for yourself, how many good things have your precious disciples done over the years?"

Zhou Ming expressionlessly threw the file in his hand into the hand of Ying Shiyu.

After taking the file and flipping through a few pages, all he could see were words such as "theft", "murder", "tonic", etc., as well as the names of many very familiar direct disciples. Shanshiyu felt unbelievable and couldn't Accepting it, he tore the file into pieces and shouted: "Fake, made up, all made up! How could my disciples of Taanshiyu be so unscrupulous? Most of them are practicing peacefully in the cave, so how can they be so shameless?" How much effort does it take to do so many bad things in the mortal world?"

He pointed at Zhou Ming and said: "That's enough, that's enough for you! If you don't want to sell Fusion Spirit Pill, just say so, there's no need to frame my disciples!"

"I'm too busy to frame them!"

Zhou Ming said coldly: "If you don't believe it, my Special Public Security Bureau can bring witnesses and victims over for your questioning. You can also call your disciples over and confront them to see if they are innocent?"

"Let me tell you, that file only records a small number of the cases they committed, and there may be many more that are not recorded!"

Ying Shiyu covered her ears and walked straight out the door, "I won't listen, and I won't buy the Rongrong Pill. You can't use this to interfere in the internal affairs of Fei Ying Sect!"

"Do you want your Feiying Sect to be completely destroyed at the hands of your disciples?"

Zhou Ming's voice came from behind.

"What does that have to do with you?"

Ying Shiyu turned back and stared at him.

"I am a mortal, and my lifespan is only twenty or thirty years at most. When I die, and the Feiying Sect continues this style, do you think Wancheng Kingdom will still be so polite to the Feiying Sect?"

Zhou Ming's words made Yao Shiyu's face stunned, and he froze there.

die?

Why did this kid suddenly talk about death?

Zhou Ming walked over with a serious face: "Wancheng State governs the country by law. The first term is renewed every five years and can be re-elected once at most. But I am old and do not plan to be re-elected. After I step down from the position of head of state, my successor If he knew about Feiying Sect's disciples' misbehavior, how do you think he would respond?"

"Today's Wancheng Kingdom army is equipped with more than a hundred Lingyuan battleships. You are only an immortal with a solid level of cultivation. How can you withstand a hundred cannons?"

Seeing that Ying Shiyu was about to refute, Zhou Ming pushed him back, leaving him silent.

After a long time, Zhou Ming said slowly:

"I'm not doing this to anger you, nor for myself, but for the future of Feiying Sect!"

"Those black sheep must be thoroughly cleaned up, and it is best to kill them all to avoid causing trouble."

"I agreed to Zhang Jin going to Feiyun Mountain because I hope he will complete it. Zhang Jin is your grandson and the heir of your Feiying Sect. If you really have long-term plans, I hope you can trust Zhang Jin. Let him do it.”

"If you don't believe in me or your grandson Zhang Jin, but instead believe in those disciples who have repeatedly defrauded you, I will never let Zhang Jin go to Feiyun Mountain. It will cost his life."

"Father, the future era is an era where mortals and immortals coexist. Mortals can despise and suppress them, but they must not bully or kill them. At least in Wancheng Country, mortals are no longer the mortals they used to be. Monks will treat mortals again Treating him as an ant and killing him at will is his own destruction, and no one can save him!"

"I'm fifty-eight this year. I definitely won't live for many more years, nor can I protect Feiying Sect for many years. I'm not worried about where Wancheng Kingdom will go in the future, but where your Feiying Sect will go..."

Zhou Ming shook his head, "I really don't know."

He glanced at Tassel Jade again: "I can only look at you. How did you consider and choose?"

After hearing these words, Ying Shiyu fell into deep thought.

Seeing his white-haired son in front of him again, with his deep and bright eyes at this moment, as if he was making a final confession, and speaking to himself with sincerity and sincerity, Yaoshiyu even had an illusion:

In the end, I am the father and you are the son, or you are the father and I am the son?

But he still listened to Zhou Ming's words, because it was true that if the Feiying Sect wanted to continue in the Wancheng Kingdom and did not clean up the bad apples within, sooner or later, it would be violated by the "laws" of the Wancheng Kingdom. To clean up.

Times have changed.

Today's immortals may really be no match for mortals.
