Meng Zhang is preparing to enter in the shop, behind heard the greeting sound: „Sect Master Meng.” 孟章正准备走进自家店铺里面,后面传来了招呼声:“孟掌门。” Meng Zhang then looked, Gu Tanghai hasty catches up from behind. 孟章回头一看,顾堂海正急冲冲的从后面赶来。 „Sect Master Meng, taking advantage of a speech, the old man can have the important matter and you discussed.” “孟掌门,能否借一步说话,老夫有要事和你商量。” Taiyi Sect and in Shi Family these years the superficial relations are good, has been maintaining a huge amount of transactions. Probably is the scruples and Meng Zhang has presented together Luo Ye, Gu Tanghai has been also friendly to Taiyi Sect. 太乙门和石家这些年里表面关系不错,一直维持着大量交易。大概是顾忌曾经和孟章一起出现过的落叶,顾堂海对太乙门也一直非常友善。 Meng Zhang nods, with Gu Tanghai left here. 孟章点点头,就随着顾堂海离开了这里。 Gu Tanghai led Meng Zhang to take big segment path, arrived in Singing Sand City central location little building. 顾堂海领着孟章走了一大段路,来到了鸣沙坊市中心位置的一座小楼里面。 Here is the Singing Sand City general affairs building, usually, Gu Tanghai in inside, handles inside and outside market various business every so often. 这里是鸣沙坊市的庶务楼,平日里,顾堂海很多时候都是在里面,处理坊市内外的各项事务。 Gu Tanghai ushers in Meng Zhang a hall, asking Meng Zhang to sit down, offers the tea dessert. Knows Meng Zhang for him of person, without talking circuitously, directly entered the subject. 顾堂海将孟章领进一间大厅里面,请孟章坐下,奉上茶水点心。知道孟章为人的他,也没有绕圈子,直接就进入了正题。 „Asked Sect Master Meng to come, mainly two important matters, need to discuss with Sect Master Meng.” “请孟掌门过来,主要是有两件大事,需要和孟掌门商量。” „The first important matter, because of the blockade of Flying Swan Sect, brought many to everyone inconvenient, in market is hundred industry is also outmoded, desolate bleak.” “第一件大事,就是因为飞鸿宗的封锁,给大家带来了很多不便,坊市之中也是百业不兴,冷落萧条。” „Therefore after the old men and several Sect Master discussed repeatedly, decided to open the new trade route, sought for the new opportunity.” “因此老夫和几位掌门多次商量过后,决定开辟新的商路,寻找新的商机。” This matter, Meng Zhang has heard many rumors, before including Gu Tanghai, some people had also raised with him. 这件事情,孟章听见过许多风声,之前包括顾堂海在内,一些人也和他提过。 Regarding this matter, Meng Zhang naturally is the percentage hundred approvals. 对于此事,孟章当然是百分百赞同。 In these years, Meng Zhang also felt fault that more and more trade route does not pass. 这些年里,孟章也是越来越感到商路不通的坏处。 Taiyi Sect spirit grain is reluctantly sufficient, crop good time, but can also foreign sales part. 太乙门的灵谷勉强够用,收成好的时候,还能对外出售一部分。 Compounded drug, was quite intense. Shi Family provided majority, oneself school Pill Hall can only provide some small compounded drugs. 丹药方面,就比较紧张了。石家提供了大部分,自家门派丹堂只能提供小部分丹药。 In the gate some disciples cultivation certain special technique, needs to use some spirit material, needs the Meng Zhang hidden status, goes to Firewell Market few purchases secretly, often uses insufficiently. 门中一些弟子修炼某些特殊的功法,需要用到某项灵材,都需要孟章隐藏身份,偷偷去火井坊市少量购买,经常不敷使用。 As for other magic tool, talisman wait/etc. was very scarce. Until now, even sect-protecting great formation in entrance does not have the whereabouts. 至于其它的法器、符箓等就更是非常紧缺了。直到现在,连山门中的护派大阵都没有着落。 Also can maintain in the peace period reluctantly, once makes war, various commodity critical shortages. 在和平时期还能勉强维持,一旦开战,各种物资都会严重短缺。 Taiyi Sect has some mineral resource now, besides the original scarlet copper ore and white hidden earth ore, captured the profound iron ore, thousand dust sandy ores afterward. 太乙门现在拥有一些矿藏,除了原本的赤铜矿和白藏土矿之外,后来还夺取了玄铁矿、千尘沙矿等。 First is short-handed, secondly mines not to have the sale, therefore these mineral lode have to leave unused temporarily, or few mining. 一来人手不足,二来开采出来也没有销路,所以这些矿脉都不得不暂时闲置,或者少量开采。 The commodity cannot transport, is unable to earn spirit stones, spirit material that is unable to buy various needs. 物资运不出去,无法赚取灵石,也无法购入各种需要的灵材。 This is not a healthy condition, develops disadvantageously to the school. 这并不是一种健康的状态,对门派发展不利。 Naturally, opened the trade route to say outward simply, doing to be difficult. 当然,对外开辟商路说起来简单,做起来却非常困难。 Now several sect gate regions, the east side and south by the Flying Swan Sect sphere of influence was covered. In the Flying Swan Sect sphere of influence, is absolutely impossible to have any opportunity. 现在几家宗门所处的区域,东面和南面都被飞鸿宗的势力范围笼罩。在飞鸿宗势力范围内,绝对不可能有任何机会。 In north and west, is forbidden area Deadly Sea of Sand of life. Through a no man's land of northeast direction, can enter the Northern Desert Qi Family dominant area actually. 在北面和西面,是生灵的禁区死亡沙海。通过东北方向的一块无人区域,倒是能够进入漠北齐家的统治区。 However Northern Desert Qi Family is always conservative, is antiforeign. Moreover Northern Desert is also very barren, no produces. 不过漠北齐家一向保守,非常排外。而且漠北本身也十分贫瘠,没有什么出产。 Northern Desert Qi Family was suppressed by Flying Swan Sect in the Northern Desert many years, no development. Even if Qi Family has two Gold Core Daoist Master, but similarly very deficient cultivation resources. 漠北齐家被飞鸿宗压制在漠北多年,也没有什么发展。即便齐家有着两位金丹真人,可同样非常缺乏修炼资源。 To be honest, as long as about the person who Northern Desert that region a little knows, feels very strangely. Northern Desert Qi Family depends on such together the remote place unexpectedly, confronts for many years with Flying Swan Sect, had not driven out by Flying Swan Sect thoroughly. 老实说,但凡对漠北那片区域有点了解的人,都感到十分奇怪。漠北齐家居然靠着这么一块穷乡僻壤,和飞鸿宗对峙多年,没有被飞鸿宗彻底驱除。 In the southwest direction, the scrap small region, borders on with Demon Wind Gobi. Through Demon Wind Gobi, can directly enter the Jiuqu League boundary. 在西南方向,有一小块小小的区域,和妖风戈壁接壤。通过妖风戈壁,可以直接进入九曲盟地界。 Jiuqu League is one is centered on Jiuqu River cultivation alliance that forms. Comes compared with Endless Sea of Sand, but there bountiful innumerable times. 九曲盟是一个以九曲河为中心建立的修真联盟。比起无尽沙海来,那里可是富饶了无数倍。 The school is numerous, the person of high skill emerges one after another incessantly, the cultivation civilization is developed, cultivation hundred arts is prosperous, rich resources, business prosperity. 门派众多,高人层出不穷,修真文明发达,修真百艺昌盛,资源丰富,商业繁荣。 The Jiuqu League strength strong Flying Swan Sect innumerable times, in the pledge have even also had Primordial Spirit True Monarch. 九曲盟的实力强过飞鸿宗无数倍,盟内甚至还拥有元神真君。 Initially invaded Endless Sea of Sand, is only two peripheral zones the behavior in private small school, made Flying Swan Sect deal unusual was strenuous. 当初入侵无尽沙海,只是两个边缘地带的小门派的私下所为,就让飞鸿宗应对的非常吃力了。 If not in Jiuqu League the high level cannot take a liking to Endless Sea of Sand this barren land, perhaps will focus on the more bountiful south, Flying Swan Sect has not ruled the Endless Sea of Sand opportunity. 如果不是九曲盟内高层瞧不上无尽沙海这块贫瘠之地,将注意力放到了更为富饶的南方,飞鸿宗恐怕早就没有统治无尽沙海的机会了。 Taiyi Sect and other schools must open the trade route outward, only has a Northern Desert Qi Family and Qi Family liangs choice. 太乙门等门派要向外开辟商路,只有漠北齐家个选择。 The first choice is slightly easy, but Qi Family is not wealthy, even if it is estimated that cleared the trade route, the harvest is still limited. 第一个选择稍微容易一点,但是齐家本身也不富裕,估计就算开通了商路,收获也有限。 The second choice, needs to pass Demon Wind Gobi. 第二个选择,需要通过妖风戈壁。 Demon Wind Gobi is in Endless Sea of Sand the only monster beast large-scale accumulation place. 妖风戈壁是无尽沙海之中唯一一处妖兽大规模聚集的地方。 There monster beast is numerous, is powerful, even in the Demon Wind Gobi deep place, but also has the Gold Core big monster to exist. 那里妖兽众多,实力强大,甚至在妖风戈壁深处,还有着金丹大妖存在。 For many years, ruled Endless Sea of Sand Flying Swan Sect, is not willing easily thorough Demon Wind Gobi. 多年来,就连统治无尽沙海的飞鸿宗,也不愿意轻易深入妖风戈壁。 Although goes to Jiuqu League only to need from the Demon Wind Gobi surrounding to pass, does not need to penetrate, but if the luck is not good, was entangled by the monster beast group, same is troublesome. 虽然前往九曲盟只需要从妖风戈壁的外围通过,无需深入,可如果运气不好,被妖兽群缠上,一样非常麻烦。 As for the Gold Core big monster, will not easily leave the Demon Wind Gobi deep place actually, does not need extremely to be worried. 至于金丹大妖,倒是不会轻易离开妖风戈壁深处,不用太过担心。 Regarding two different choices, several Sect Master had argued before repeatedly. 对于两个不同的选择,以前几位掌门争论过多次。 Meng Zhang oneself limited to the vision and experience issue, have no understanding also to have no tendentiousness to Jiuqu League and Jiuqu League liangs place, no participation argument. 孟章本人限于眼界和见识问题,对九曲盟处都没有什么了解也就没有什么倾向性,也没有参与争论。 Now Gu Tanghai mentions again opens the issue of trade route, should have the result. 现在顾堂海再次提到开辟商路的问题,应该是有了结果了。 Does not wait for the Meng Zhang opens the mouth, Gu Tanghai on then said downward. 不等孟章开口,顾堂海就自顾自的接着往下说。 „After many discussions, we decided finally, goes to Jiuqu League together. Even on the road the danger, the harvest will still be bigger.” “经过多番商议,我们最后决定,还是一起前往九曲盟。就算路上危险一点,收获也会更大。” „If Sect Master Meng also interested, that may probably prepare early.” “如果孟掌门也有兴趣的话,那可要早做准备了。” „Naturally does not use too anxiously, even all smoothly, we still need several years later, will leave.” “当然也不用太急,就算一切顺利,我们也要几年之后,才会动身。” Regarding trades together outward this matter, Taiyi Sect also needs. 对于对外通商这档子事,太乙门同样非常需要。 Since discussed that result, Meng Zhang will naturally also be involved. 既然商议出了结果,孟章自然也会加入其中。 Meng Zhang readily agrees, will accompany everyone several years later together. 孟章一口答应,会在几年后随同大家一起出发。 In these years time, Taiyi Sect will also do many preparatory work, prepares to take away various commodities of transaction, reorganizes well to need to buy the list of goods. 在这几年的时间里,太乙门也会做许多准备工作,准备好带去交易的各种物资,整理好需要购入物品的清单等。 Several words times, both sides on coming to an arrangement about this matter, both sides have no question. 几句话的功夫,双方就谈妥了这件事情,双方也没有什么疑问。 Gu Tanghai carries the teacup, sipped one, rested , to continue to open the mouth. 顾堂海端起茶杯,抿了一口,歇了一下,才继续开口。 „The second matter, is actually the Twin Success Valley Dan Yihu elder, asking the old man to make among low-middle the person, contacted Sect Master, achieved a great accomplishment together.” “第二件事情,却是双丰谷的单一虎长老,拜托老夫做一下中间人,联络一下诸位掌门,一起做一件大事。” Gu Tanghai spoke, while from storage bag, took out a lamp bowl. 顾堂海一边说话,一边从储物袋之中,取出了一个灯盏。 The lamp bowl style is plain, seems like that is made by the bronze. Semblance rusty stain stained, covered entirely the copper rust. 灯盏样式古朴,看似由青铜制成。外表锈迹斑斑,布满了铜锈。 „Golden Crow Lantern.” Meng Zhang stares the lamp bowl was looking at after for quite a while, a little excited saying. “金乌灯盏。”孟章盯着灯盏望了半天之后,才有点激动的说道。
