Chapter 131: With a snap of thunder, Divine Power chooses elixirs
When the refugees poured into Cangshui County, it was snowing heavily for several days and the surface of the Nucang River began to freeze.
Under the call of the county government, porridge sheds have been set up all over the county, nearly two hundred large and small.
Especially the sheds built by the Yamen policemen themselves. Every once in a while from the riverside, smoke rises from the kitchen smoke, extending all the way to the downtown area of the county.
Serving porridge during the day and boiling hot water for distribution at night. The fire on the stove continues day and night, and can also be used to keep people warm at night.
After being raised for ten days, the refugees who arrived first were all assigned to work in exchange for food rations, including cloth farming, fish ponds, carpentry, shipyards, collecting firewood, burning charcoal, carrying bags, carting stones, etc., and they were engaged in a variety of industries. There was a huge influx of people.
In addition to these hard-working people, there are also many people who had skills before fleeing, and almost all of them can find temporary livelihood in Cangshui County.
Many of the things that the subsequent influx of refugees carried in their hands and wrapped around their bodies may have been made by the refugees who came first.
Gao Wenzhong was confident in dealing with the large number of refugees, not only because he had confiscated the homes of two wealthy families, but also because the foundation of Cangshui County was already strong enough.
All kinds of shops are prosperous and prosperous. They can be ranked among the best in Xueling County and thousands of miles away.
In the past, as a transferred county magistrate, he could not stand alone. Many people in the county, even if they gave him face on the surface, may not be able to agree with him when it comes to serious matters.
But now, the Huang and Liu families have been ransacked, and Fei Wang Martial Arts School has fallen apart. Songhe Martial Arts School and Fenglei Martial Arts School are all his solid allies.
With such momentum, looking across the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away, there is no place where the wealthy families dare not buy it.
However, when all the small and medium-sized families in the local area obeyed, now the only big family in Cangshui that was going smoothly had some changes.
“Four uncles, what does this mean?”
In the lobby of the Lei family, Lei Dongtian was sitting on the throne, with a scowl on his face, his arms pressed on the armrests, and his voice was like rolling thunder.
“Nowadays, every wealthy family in Cangshui County is stocking grain. Even more than a hundred people from the Songhe Martial Arts Hall are helping to catch fish in the winter, breaking through the thick ice on the rivers and lakes, and going deep into the water. , tracking the fish, cooking fish in large quantities as quickly as possible, buying winter clothes, and distributing them to appease the refugees."
"Our Lei family has accumulated financial resources. "Zhu, I don't know how many times better than Songhe Martial Arts School, but our porridge shed has only been open for a few days, and you are telling me that we are going to close it. What do you mean?"
His eyes were like lightning, and he scanned everyone. In the lobby, the stewards and eldest sons of each clan member, whoever his eyes glanced at, felt their backs tighten and cold sweat break out on their foreheads.
“Are you trying to tell me that the more than twenty warehouses and cellars of our Lei family have been secretly emptied out by you over the past few years, and you can no longer bring out food and clothing, right? ! ”
The four elders of the Lei family saw that some of the stewards had begun to tremble, so they could no longer sit back and watch.
“Eldest nephew, please don’t speak so harshly.”
The second elder of the Lei family, who is eight feet tall, has silver beard and hair, and has a red face. It’s snowing outside this hall. In the weather, she only wore a light brocade robe, which was full of air.
This is not only because of his superb skills, but also because in the greenhouses on both sides of the lobby, the blazing charcoal pots warm the walls, and there are flues running underground. The temperature in the entire hall, They are much higher than outside.
“Of course we still have some things in our warehouse. Even if someone takes advantage of it, there can’t be any big tricks in the account. After all, there are still a few housekeepers you personally appointed to keep an eye on it. , are all loyal.”
"But the money, food and clothing of our Lei family are not brought by the strong wind. We can't really reduce our family's year-end expenses and give it to the poor people from other places."
"The surname is Gao. He wants us to support him. We have already made a strong gesture more than ten days ago. Now that the porridge shed is closed, it is hard for Gao to say anything. We are still allies. "
Lei Baishi. laughed He said: "It turns out that some of my uncles and uncles felt that we opened this porridge shack and handed out these clothes because of the county magistrate's favor, so do we have to make a show of it?"
He smiled softly. Roubu said with a smile, "I see you guys are living so comfortably. Once the door is closed, there are two different worlds, right? Have you ever gone outside to see..."
"Shiraishi!"
Lei Dongtian raised his hand to stop his son from talking, and said in a deep voice, "Four uncles, I wonder if you have ever thought about the difference between refugees and beggars."
"The number of beggars in the local area, It’s also limited, and the government won’t care much about it, but the number of these refugees is really large enough, and they are guaranteed by the court. Once the fields are reclaimed, they will be exempted from taxes for three years.”
“They will settle here. ,after They are all the people in Cangshui, Xueling. We are now giving out porridge and food, and giving out clothes and hot water. What a good opportunity it is to invite people to buy fame."
"A big family runs a local business for fifty years? Years, fame and popularity may not be as popular as what was shown in this mass migration of refugees."
Seeing the four old guys, they still had disapproval on their faces, Lei Dongtian's eyes flashed. A bit harsh.
"Although we may not be able to compete with the uncles and nephews of the Su family for the position of team training defense officer, we can definitely get the position of team general."
"It is said that there are only five hundred people in the team training People, in fact, when the time comes, as long as we have enough popularity and local support, it may not be impossible to operate with thousands of people, or even to unite several surrounding counties. "< br>
“Four uncles, look Looking at the current situation in the world, shouldn’t we make plans for the future?”
The second elder of the Lei family said: “Famousness is illusory after all. Financial resources and food are all real things for our family. Talent can really be transformed into strength. We have not lost our duty and we are still allies in the county government. When the time comes, it will be our chance, and we can naturally..."
Lei Dongtian lost his patience. , stood up.
The second elder suddenly became alert: "Nephew, what are you going to do?"
The four elders all stood up, and the eldest elder, who usually talked the least, took a step forward.
"Dongtian, have you forgotten what your father said when he called you and us to the bedside and held your hand when he was seriously ill?"
The tone of the great elder Gentle, with the meaning of persuasion, "Your father knows you best. He knows that you have a short temper and sometimes do not see things comprehensively. You still need to listen to our opinions in order to be mature and prudent."
门Suddenly a voice came from outside.
"What did my grandfather say back then? I don't seem to have heard it."
Everyone looked out the door and saw a young woman with a silver crown and blue robe walking in.
The thick black hair on her head passes between the silver crown and falls back. She wears a knife at her waist, holds the handle of the knife in her left hand, and has a carved bracelet on her wrist. No superfluous accessories.
Lei Baishi jumped up from the chair: "Sister, you are back!"
Lei Dongtian's anger subsided a little and called out: "Yuzhu."
"Dad!"
Lei Yuzhu stepped forward and saluted, "Something happened on the way and I came back late, but the goods were delivered and everyone was taken out."
Lei Dongtian helped her up: "Okay, okay!"
"Yuzhu, you are back well Ah."
The second elder of the Lei family also said, "It's quite chaotic outside now. Just come back. Since today is the day when everyone comes back safely, let's not talk about vain things. As usual, let’s celebrate it first.”
Several elders of the Lei family nodded one after another, in harmony, as if the tense atmosphere just now had disappeared, and they were ready to leave.
"Second Grandpa, don't worry."
Lei Yuzhu turned around and smiled, with a lazy and soft voice, "I also heard some of what happened just now, I think Er Grandpa is right. Let’s settle this matter today and don’t delay it any longer.”
The second elder of the Lei family lit up: “Oh, do you agree with me?”
“Yeah.”
Lei Yuzhu combed the broken hair around his ears with his green-white fingers, and said, "Fame is fake, but strength is real. I think it's right." , if you can accept my move, I will help you persuade my father, and all major matters will be decided by you in the future, otherwise..."
She chuckled lightly, and it seemed that there was no need to say the next words.
After hearing this, everyone in the Lei family changed their expressions.
"Yuzhu, you are a little rude!" "Are you going to fight with the elders?" "Lei Dongtian, is this how you discipline your daughter?"
Lei Yuzhu turned a deaf ear to the voices of these clan elders, slowly raised his right hand, and whispered: "Pay attention."
The eldest elder of the Lei family couldn't help it anymore, his body shook, and there was a faint feeling in the joints all over his body. There was a flash of white light, and he shouted: "You girl, you must have broken through the realm of the ladder outside, and you feel that your wings have become stronger."
"But even if it is You shouldn't talk to your elders like this. Today we will take your advice and let the world know how you can get married as an unfilial girl!"
Old Lei family! There are actually far more people in this generation than these four. The reason why only four of them are clan elders is because three of them have Qi Hai Da Cheng or above.
As for the Great Elder, ten years ago, he had reached the state of Qi Sea Perfection, but he was just too old and had no hope of breaking through the ladder.
In terms of pure and powerful skills, Huang Sanwen of the Huang family or Lei Yuzhu before leaving home should not be as good as him. Even for a ladder master, it would be difficult to defeat the Great Elder within one move.
Even Lei Dongtian cannot defeat four of them at the same time with one move.
Everyone in the Lei family felt that the eldest lady was a little reckless, and they were secretly anxious about it.
Lei Yuzhu's bet is a bit too much, but she wants to go too far. If it is not too much, how can she make the whole clan completely submit to it.
"Are you four ready?"
Lei Yuzhu said, "If you feel empty-handed is not safe enough, I can wait until you have dressed yourself and picked up your own weapons before coming back."
< br>The four elders were furious and scolded: "You take action, we want to see how you can defeat the four of us in one move."
Lei Yuzhu did not draw his sword, but just Raise your right hand, interlocking thumb and index finger.
In an instant, the hair of the four elders suddenly stood up and became fluffy.
Before they could react, Lei Yuzhu flicked his fingers forward.
Boom! ! ! !
The dazzling electric light and deafening thunder made everyone subconsciously close their eyes and turn their heads.
At that moment, four thunder and lightning exploded in the lobby, and the snow and water between the roof tiles were shaken and trembled.
When they turned around, they saw the four elders standing there blankly, their bodies blackened and their hair standing straight.
"What is this?"
The great elder struggled to spit out four words, because his lips trembled and his beard turned into ashes.
Subsequently, the four elders all fell down hard.
“You don’t even recognize our Lei family’s thunder and fire rushing skill, how can you match the clan leader’s orders and dictate?”
Lei Yuzhu flicked his finger, "Take the four elders down to recover from their injuries."
Lei Rulong and the others looked at each other and hurried up, trying to help the four elders up.
However, when they came closer, there was a crackling sound between the clothes and the skin, as if being pricked by needles, which made them suspicious, so they quickly withdrew their hands and used their skills to protect themselves.
Seeing that no one took action against them, everyone hesitated and took the four elders down.
Lei Baishi couldn't help but look at the roof.
There are no holes in the roof. Where did those four thunders come from just now?
It should be noted that although Lei Dongtian's thunder and fire energy also contains the power of thunder and fire, its speed is the speed at which the energy of a normal ladder warrior explodes.
It is impossible for everyone to fail to react like the four thunder and lightning just now.
That is clearly the speed of real lightning.
"Yuzhu, have you understood the true meaning of the general outline of the Thunder and Fire Rushing Skill?"
Lei Dongtian said in surprise, "The move just now was not a thunder and lightning falling from the sky, but it was a real one. The truth of thunder and lightning?”
In fact, there are two types of electric fields in the world: Yin and Yang. When the Yin and Yang electric fields meet, lightning will appear.
During thunderstorms, the bottom layer of thunderclouds often contains negative and electrical energy, and the upper layer contains positive electrical energy, so sometimes lightning will burst out inside the clouds.
The scene of the thunder falling to the ground is actually because the positive electric field on the earth attracts each other and the negative electric field at the bottom of the thundercloud. When the two are not far apart, they will go in both directions. Forming lightning.
Although Lei Dongtian has been practicing to the level of heaven for a long time, his skill is not yet sharp enough to separate the yin and yang electric fields.
But just now, Lei Yuzhu clearly enveloped the four elders with a negative electric field first, and then burst out a positive electric field with a snap of his fingers, creating the power of lightning.
Therefore, while the four elders were still talking nonsense, they were already hit by this move and were destined to fail.
“I met a lot of spirits outside and was almost slapped in the neck by a raccoon, so I realized this skill.”
Lei Yuzhu turned his face to let his father and younger brother see. He touched the three scars on his neck and said with a smile, "No matter how fast it is, as long as it breaks into the range of the negative electricity, it can't escape this lightning."
Those three scars are probably only He almost broke the blood vessels in her neck.
There was no surprise on Lei Baishi's face, only fear: "How could you meet such a powerful spirit?"
"The number and strength of the spirits raised by the nine counties of King Liang are not comparable to those we encountered in the past. With the migration of refugees, of course they entered the snow ridge."
Lei Yuzhu said, " I heard five The guerrilla generals on the road are going around to encircle and suppress them, otherwise we may have to face more monsters causing chaos."
Lei Dongtian nodded slightly and said: "The guerrilla general on the 5th road is Situ Yuntao's man, Gao Wenzhong. That's over there too If chaos breaks out in the future, such people are truly worthy of refuge, so I say that our Lei family should not begrudge this food."
"Yuzhu, you have a hard journey, go back and rest first. Well, your brother and I will arrange these things."
Lei Yuzhu nodded, left the lobby, returned to his small courtyard, refused the maid's offer to bring soup, went directly into the room, and took off his clothes. Get the knife and then sit on the bed alone.
"These four old men can't even withstand the rudimentary thunder skills you have learned. If you use the sword moves I teach you, even ten of them can kill them all with one move."
The tone of a proud woman that could not be heard by outsiders sounded in Lei Yuzhu's ears.
Lei Yuzhu pulled up the sleeve of his right hand, revealing the other bracelet on his right hand.
The silver bracelet was given to her by her mother when she was still alive, and the black jade bracelet on her right hand was what came out of the stomach of the raccoon after she killed it. .
It was obviously made of jade, but it was struck by lightning and bounced into the air. It was not stained with any dirt or cracked at all.
Lei Yuzhu was curious at the time and picked it up in his hand. As a result, some of the blood and thunder fire internal energy on his body were swallowed up by the bracelet, awakening this senior who claimed to have been famous.
"Yes, yes, we are just a small place here after all, how can we have the opportunity to see such powerful sword skills?"
Lei Yuzhu said with a smile and gently used his fingertips to He flipped the black jade bracelet and said, "I'm sorry that you absorbed my blood. Otherwise, you could have found a more powerful host."
"Hmph, you're okay, you're mainly in a bad environment. I am I'll know when I see your father. The person with the best martial arts in your family has such a rough understanding of martial arts. It's strange that he can be suitable for you!"
The voice in the jade bracelet said, "But on the way back, that one is here. The boy frying fish on the other side of the river seemed to have broken through the ladder with the Qi Sea Ultimate Realm. You said at the time that he was from Songhe Martial Arts School. Why didn't you go up to say hello? Do you have any grudge against his family? "
< br>
"It's not necessary to have any grudges. We were quite familiar with each other before."
Lei Yuzhu recalled, "There are three people in their family, a pedantic uncle, a second uncle who is bound by human feelings, and another who likes to pretend to be an adult. But as long as he is praised, he will be very happy. He is very hard-working. "
"Unfortunately, that was all in the past. We haven't seen each other for five years. I hurried home, so there is no need to go out of my way. go say hello Okay."
She breathed out, "Qihai Jiji, the genius who attracted everyone's attention back then, can indeed do things that everyone can't do."
The jade bracelet. Voice: "In the extreme realm of Qi Sea, that is, in the realm of heavenly ladder, it is more advantageous to hit people. If you practice more smoothly, the probability of breaking through the true form is higher. But it is useless for the subsequent realms."
"With my guidance, you will be no worse than anyone else. Moreover, I have become this weapon spirit inexplicably now, and my heart is connected with yours. Even a person with the same realm as me in my lifetime can't guide my disciples like you." My feeling is so subtle The instructions given are so clear.”
“When you reach the True Form Realm, you can come into contact with the real advantages of my lineage, and then let my sword skills return to the world. Make a name for yourself.”
Lei Yuzhu smiled: "If I have the chance, of course I don't want to lose to anyone."
"Well, but your previous foundation still needs to be polished again."
< br>The sound of jade bracelet He said, "The Shenwei Banquet is coming soon. It's a good opportunity. You should practice your sword well. If you enter the top three, you can choose an elixir in the elixir treasure house of Shenwei Mansion and get a bottle of Jingyuan Dan to refine your foundation. .”
Lei Yuzhu said: "The top three... When my father went there, he didn't even touch the top ten, so he only got one hundred taels of gold as a gift."
"It's really not easy. Although you have me Guidance, but after all, time is short, and there are still some powerful people in the inheritance of the counties in the North. "
Jade Bracelet's voice was no longer so sure, "Anyway, give it a try. This is also a good opportunity to broaden your horizons. For those who practice martial arts, horizons are extremely important!"
