Chapter 171 Fengzhou Miracle
The officials responsible for this time of the Demon Clan will naturally not be the pro-Immortal sect that is as full of selfish desires as King Chong and Wei Li.
Because such people have always been unreliable.
According to Kuang Cheng, these people were all officials who were excluded from the court by the pro-Immortal faction, suppressed countless times, and were later recalled because of the new policy.
One of them was named Wang Mingchang, who had a white hair and was in his twilight years.
Thirty years ago, he was still the governor of Yunzhou Prefecture, but because he was dissatisfied with the tax and subject to the system, he reported many times that he was dismissed from office and was dismissed from office. When he returned home, he was broken by someone's right leg. He endured for thirty years in pain and resentment.
There are many officials like him in the mission.
Just like Ji You's sentence, "Since ancient times, no one has died, but he will leave his loyalty to shine in history." He is not afraid of death, and some of them have even been dead for a long time.
There are often rumors about Ji You in Shengjing. Although these envoys are ordinary people, they have heard of several passages.
But from their perspective, it is actually difficult to generate a sense of trust.
Because in their hearts, immortal cultivators have always been birds of birds of a feather, this is a deeply rooted idea caused by the thousand-year pattern of the world.
At this time, the bright moon accompanied me while the wine was filled with wine, and a banquet was held in Hexing City.
On the Hualou and Jade Hall of the wealthy families, although the genius of the Immortal Sect still looked dull and unscathed, he was actually deeply satisfied with the warm hospitality of the Yunzhou family.
After all, the Yunzhou family all gained a foothold by producing spiritual stones, and they had a variety of ways to treat guests, and their quality was much higher than other Jiuzhou.
In addition to the strange food of immortals, even singing and dancing are refreshing.
So they kept drinking until early morning when they returned home.
The three southern sects returned early, and they saw the people who stayed in the inn here eating here, and then they were the northern geniuses who returned one after another.
The delegation then continued to set off, and as planned before detouring to the northwest of Fengzhou, the feeling of barrenness came to his face.
There are no tall cities here, nor pavilions and towers with flying eaves and corners, only mud houses and thatched houses, and even the yard is made of dead branches and stacked, which may be more appropriate to call a fence.
The comparison between the rich and the poor in the two neighboring places is so obvious that there is indeed a strong sense of impact.
"Yunzhou has abundant minerals, which has established its extremely important position among the Jiuzhou. It is a gift from heaven. Compared with this, Fengzhou is really dispensable."
"Well, the spiritual wine yesterday is superior, even I am rare."
Jiang Yan, Shanhaige Jiang Yuerou and Lingjian Shan Yan Qiubai were on a carriage together at this time, and they were talking about each other.
Cultivators emphasize that there is nothing outside their hearts and are plain and natural, but they are all women no matter how they say it.
When you see something fresh, you can't help but make sharp comments.
Jiang Yan took out a spirit stone from her sleeve at this time. With a divine thought, a rich and essence of spiritual energy was poured into her body: "Although things are better from the origin, spirit stones of this quality must be of great value. This family in Yunzhou is really willing to do so."
After hearing this, Yan Qiubai chuckled: "It's not just that. At the Wang family banquet yesterday, the legitimate son of the head of the Wang family seemed to have some thoughts about Sister Yan?"
Jiang Yan raised the corner of her mouth: "The realm is average and the appearance is average, so he dares to think about it."
"Whether the Taoist couple is doing, my sister is not in a hurry at home?"
"I have also been asked about my appearance, but I have some requirements for my appearance. After all, when I practice dual cultivation, I must be able to see it right, otherwise wouldn't I have no interest at all."
The endless life is the main theme of the development of aristocratic families, and even the children of aristocratic families are no exception.
Whether it is an alliance or a gifted child, it is a serious task for both men and women.
Jiang Yuerou heard the sound at this time and said, "I remember there was a very good-looking person in the convoy."
"Who?"
"That Tongxuan Realm seems to be named Ji You. I have been in seclusion for too long. It was also the name I learned after hearing them talk last night."
Yan Qiubai instantly remembered the Tongxuan Realm: "That person, I took a few more glances before leaving, it's really good."
Jiang Yan looked at the two of them: "If you look good, I'd be interested, but have you ever heard of Ji's surname among the thousands of families in Qingyun World?"
"?"
"What sister means is this person joining the sect?"
Jiang Yan nodded: "That should be true."
Yan Qiubai opened his mouth: "You can cultivate to the upper five realms by entering the sect, and your talent is OK."
"But Tongxuan Realm is just the first realm of the upper five realms, and it is still a little weaker. If the children of aristocratic families can still consider what the value of entering the sect is. You can't just look at your appearance. Isn't that different from secular women?"
Amid the discussion, Jiang Yuerou was suddenly attracted by the scene outside the window. At this time, she turned her head and looked out. After a while, she couldn't help but speak: "Look, there is something strange."
Jiang Yan and Yan Qiubai were slightly stunned, then turned around and saw what Jiang Yuerou said was strange.
Because they were driving on the border between Yunzhou and Fengzhou at this time, they saw countless wooden thorns blocking the horse-rejecting piles that were blocked here, endless, and there were any roads, even on the bumpy dirt roads.
The two of them looked like this and suddenly they found a group of mortals in tattered clothes heading from west to east along a low mountain located on the border between Fengzhou and Yunzhou.
A few strong men were in front, including children, women and children, with panic expressions.
"What are they... doing?"
"Running..."
The immortals on the mountain rarely care about the secular world at the foot of the mountain, especially the geniuses like them who are in seclusion all year round.
Some officials also saw this scene in the carriage, and saw those mortals suddenly feeling relieved after crossing the mountain, lifting their pale faces towards the rising red sun.
This is the difference between the people of Yunzhou and Fengzhou in appearance.
The people of Fengzhou face the loess and the backs face the sky, and their skin is basically dark, while the people of Yunzhou are trapped in mines all year round and cannot see the sun.
And there are still many such strange things on the way.
For example, some other refugees crossed here and were captured by the local government in Yunzhou.
For example, another group of refugees were chased by officials, but before being arrested, they luckily stepped into Fengzhou.
Although the officers were furious, their expressions seemed to become a little envious again. They watched the ragged man walk further and further away on the barren land, and finally turned around and left.
There is also an inexplicable picture about the cultivators, which they saw when they passed by a village.
Under the willow tree outside the village, a cultivator in the Ninghua Realm used his spiritual energy to control a thick black iron drill and poked it fiercely towards the ground.
As the iron drill penetrates deeper into the ground, the upward rotation of the edge brings a large amount of dirt to the ground.
After a few breaths, the man was exhausted, and another man took over seamlessly and drilled deep down.
In a moment, what was pulled up turned into mud.
Seeing this scene, the farmers around him knelt down one after another, their heads touching the ground, and their foreheads were pounding.
Ji You also looked at it for a long time, then whispered: "It's terrible that it was the magic weapon, the poisonous dragon immortal diamond and the sword arts jointly dig it."
Kuang Cheng's mouth twitched: "Isn't this just digging a well...?"
"This is its nickname, which belongs to the folk name. Immortals never speak like this. I asked Fengzhou Prefecture to count the uncultivated but relatively fertile land. To change to three-ripe crops, irrigation is a big deal. They are so lucky."
"No wonder I have to dig a well."
"Look, those who are cultivators like them also know that they have no possibility of ascension, but because some cultivation is in their body, they have more distracting thoughts and desires than mortals, and need more external objects to fill the emptiness in their hearts. This is the reason why the heads of the sect are aggressive and the disciples are difficult to deal with."
Ji You looked out the window with a gentle look: "But this external object cannot be that the people don't have food, so we have to provide them with emotional value."
Kuang Cheng looked out the window for a long time, and at this moment he couldn't help but open his mouth, "What is emotional value?"
"Greed and vanity can be satisfied, and in principle they can replace each other. Material content is greed, while praise is vanity. If we don't give them taxes, we will applaud them."
Ji You muttered: "The so-called personal disciples are arrogant and look down on the world, but I don't think they will be so praised by others. You must know that they should have been the scraps of this world before."
Kuang Cheng pursed his lips: "Fengzhou wants to do its best to develop agriculture?"
"Fengzhou does not have spiritual stone resources like Yunzhou. There is only this method at present. The people can be better and I can make more money. The children of Xianzhuang are also deeply satisfied. Stay calm first and then think about industrial upgrading in the future."
"Can you still upgrade?"
Ji You turned to look at him: "Build high walls, accumulate grain, and keep growing, and then develop customers. How can you grab farming quickly?"
At this time, in the second village where the carriage passed by, there were immortal cultivators using spiritual energy to drive away the thatch and complete some dilapidated roofs.
Yunzhou and Zhongzhou border Fengzhou. Although the government issued a private order to prohibit the people from roaming, after several months of exploration, some smuggling paths have been operated.
And these people who have wandered here must first have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Kuang Cheng looked at it for a long time: "This...is what Jiandao again?"
Ji You shook his head gently: "This is not a swordsmanship, it is already the category of magic, it is called "scattering grass into a top". They all say this outside, after all, they give it to themselves when they go out."
At this time, the convoy had already arrived at the next village along the northeast of Fengzhou and stopped.
Those who practice immortals can stop eating, but if those envoys do not eat, they will definitely not be able to persist in their destination.
Jiang Yan, Yan Qiubai and Jiang Yuerou got off the car together. Because they had talked about Ji You before, they couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the man with a beautiful face.
But then, a squirm of footsteps sounded, attracting their attention.
The three of them turned around and saw the old officials getting off the car and turning back.
Like those cultivators, they saw the people wandering towards Fengzhou while the carriages and horses were moving forward, and they saw the joint digging and the grass was scattered, so they were silent all the way. At this moment, they raised their hands gently, and dozens of people bowed to each other.
People from wealthy families go to cultivate immortality, and only poor people choose to be officials.
In addition to their official positions, they were actually the lowest-level people in this world.
Jiang Yan was slightly stunned, then turned her head and looked back, and found that they were worshiping Ji You, so this scene made the other geniuses unable to help but look at it at this moment.
The emotional value is indeed terrible, and it can almost make people forget that they are a professional gangster.
If Cao Jinsong was here, his chest would probably explode.
Ji You nodded slightly to them, turned around and went elsewhere, like an arrogant swordsman looking at the vast Fengzhou.
"Ji You?"
"You ask the disciple of the Tianju Academy who is extremely talented, unparalleled in swordsmanship, and like a banished immortal?" "No, he is not a quota member."
Among the three sects in the south, Gongshu Qiu has not been closed recently.
At this time, he was sitting by the carriage, looking mysterious and spoke slowly to his junior sister Yan Qiubai...
Jiang Yan was coming under the tea shed that was temporarily built. She was thinking about what she had just seen, and then she saw Yan Qiubai coming back from a distance and was gathering with Jiang Yuerou and saying something.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but walk over: "What have you talked about? How could you be so enthusiastic? I forgot that the Taoist heart needs to be as calm as water?"
Yan Qiubai looked up at him: "Sister Jiang Yan, I asked clearly. Ji You is not a quota for joining the sect."
"Is there really a surname Ji among the Qingyuntian families?"
"No, he is actually a private repairman in the countryside..."
"???"
Jiang Yan was slightly stunned, and after a long time, she realized: "Private cultivation is a death sentence, how could she enter the Immortal Sect?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Yan Qiubai blinked: "It is said that he was not yet old when he was discovered, but he was already in the third level of the lower realms."
"?!"
Yan Qiubai told him what he had heard from Gongshuqiu since then, saying that there was a teacher from Tian Academy to recruit students, and then he saw that there was spiritual energy soaring into the sky.
Jiang Yan came from a family, experienced the cultivation of the lower three realms, and saw the child in her family being guided by the elders to enlighten her spirit.
When I was a child, I was unstable and some of them were relatively stupid. I might not be able to shine in the light of the spirit for many years, so I needed to be supplemented with elixirs and spirit stones.
Even if you come from a family, have endless resources and countless elixirs available, it is not easy to cultivate to the next three realms.
So when Jiang Yan heard Yan Qiubai say this, she found it incredible.
That man was able to practice privately to the point where he could be admitted to the hospital with his own strength.
She has never heard of such stories in folk operas.
Jiang Yan was surprised for a long time, and finally replied to her spirit: "It turned out to be a private practice in the countryside. Isn't that better than a quota admission? The quota admission at least means that this person comes from a family of officials or in the army, and the private practice in the countryside is not even in such a family."
Yan Qiubai opened his mouth: "But he has a noble family."
"Didn't you say he is a private repairman in the countryside?"
"This Ji You was born in Fengzhou, which is here. Not long ago, he entered the inner courtyard and established his own family here. He also reduced Fengzhou's taxes this year to 10%. Therefore, people in Yunzhou and Zhongzhou have fled here every day, which is the scene we saw during this trip..."
Fengzhou is barren and has no aristocratic families, which is well-known.
But there are children from foreign families in Fengzhou who set up immortal villages again and confiscate the offerings, which is also well-known.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but wonder: "He established a local family and controlled the taxes. How could those foreign fairy villages not stop him?"
"Stop it, and then he killed eighteen Tongxuans, and also killed one Rongdao, carrying a bunch of heads and entering Fengzhou Prefecture with blood..."
"?!"
Jiang Yan looked at him for no reason, thinking to herself, do you want to see what you are talking about?
They have actually been doing this since childhood when they are sitting in the deep mountains and pursuing enlightenment.
From less than a year, from action to three or five spring and autumn. Although I hear more or less new things every time I go out of seclusion, I have never heard as outrageous as I hear today.
It is still acceptable to enter the rural private cultivation hospital, but it is completely difficult for her to believe that she has killed countless people in the same realm and has crossed the border and killed high realm.
Not to mention that crossing the border and killing people is beyond imagination, Ji You's image is obviously a harmless scholar, so how could he be such a cruel person?
But seeing Yan Qiubai showing no sign of joking, Jiang Yan turned to look at the figure beside the car.
Jiang Yuerou looked up at this time: "I remembered that when I left the seclusion a year ago, I did hear all kinds of disciples talking about private cultivation in a countryside and entering the Tian Academy. It turned out to be him."
Yan Qiubai nodded,
"No, Chu He, the second son of the Chu family, also entered the Tian Academy in the same year. The seven orifices and exquisite body are innately close to the heavenly way. Then Chu Xian even personally passed it on to Xuanyuan Immortal Palace. How could Ji You enter the inner courtyard in the end?"
"Qiu Dou in Tianshu Academy, Chu He only had one fight with him, and his hands were killed by him."
“…”
Some people don't look fierce, but they sound very fierce.
It's like wearing clothes is not strong, but taking off the clothes is fierce.
Judging from the story told by Yan Qiubai, the jade-faced man actually walked against the current and killed everything.
As Gongshu Qiu was generous in solving his doubts, Jiang Chenfeng, Huo Hong and others also heard about him and couldn't help but frown.
Only Xie Chenyu, Chu Butian, Qian Jun and others, as well as Shi Junhao and Xiao Hanyan from Tian Academy did not respond.
In the early years of Taiyuan, they did not have a long retreat, especially the two people behind, who almost watched Ji You enter the inner courtyard.
However, no one mentioned the matter of physical conscience passing on, the main reason is that Gongshu Qiu never said it.
Because after the autumn battle of Tianshu Academy, he was called to the Yunding Tianque of the Master of Jianzhu. When he went down the mountain, Ding Yao also specifically instructed this matter.
However, although I don’t know the reason, Gongshu Qiu still solved the case by himself.
Junior sister Ding Yao should have thought about Ji Youcun and wanted to pass on it to him by herself, otherwise she would not have avoided the judge's special explanation of this matter.
"Tongxuan Sword Slashes Rongdao. It is indeed a frightening thing to say, but it is actually not worth showing off."
Jiang Chenfeng picked up the teacup: "The Immortal Village's fusion realm was broken by hard work by taking pills. Their bodies were already old and they could be said to be extremely watery. They were not considered cross-border murder. I didn't find it surprising."
Jiang Yan looked at her cousin: "The merging of the Tao is always higher than that of Tongxuan."
"My cousin may not know that I had defeated my senior brother Rongdao Realm in the sect when I was in Tongxuan Realm."
"There is still this?"
"Cousin, you have been in seclusion for a long time and rarely do it. Little do you know that in front of us, some false fusion Taoism is actually just a stronger Tongxuan level. It is an extremely sad thing to cultivate the realm through time."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly echoed in the northwest direction, like thunder suddenly rising.
In an instant, a powerful energy was like a giant dragon breaking through the bondage, rising into the sky with a mighty momentum, and in the blink of an eye, it penetrated the clouds of thousands of miles.
Immediately afterwards, the swaying fire rose into the sky, illuminating half of the sky with a red color, magnificent and shocking.
Seeing this scene, the previous discussion about Ji You came to an abrupt end.
Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads, and even the envoys put down their bowls and chopsticks at this moment, and their faces instantly became serious.
The source of the loud noise was the Hantioxue Pass in the northern border.
Ji You turned his head to look at Kuang Cheng: "You stay and go southwest from now on, but don't approach Han Tie Pass and run away when you see something wrong."
"Brother Ji..."
"I will guarantee myself safety and strive to come back safely from the snowy area. Remember to save money well. It is said that there is nothing delicious in the demon clan. I will definitely be very hungry when I come back."
After hearing this, Kuang Cheng took a step back and bowed deeply: "Brother Ji, you have a safe journey."
Ji You nodded slightly, then got up and boarded the carriage.
The magic weapon embedded in the carriage continuously released majestic energy. The horse pulling the carriage became excited in an instant, and the wind blew up toward the border with the intense neighing sound.
As time passed, everyone finally arrived at the border.
What appeared in front of me was a city wall towering to the sky and covered with darkness, like a dormant beast, giving people endless oppression.
This is not a city wall built by ordinary people at all, but was established by the ancestors and the power of heaven after the decline of the ancient tribe. It stretches endlessly, like an insurmountable natural barrier, separating other races from the nine provinces for a thousand years.
Before the carriage could reach the city wall, there were more than a dozen spiritual energy on the carriage, which suddenly rose up, went straight to the sky, and galloped towards the top of the city.
Ji You followed closely behind, his fairy robe flew in the hustling wind. After a long time, at the top of Luoyue Pass, a bitter cold wind blew towards him.
Looking down, there was an endless fog in front of me, covering everything, and under the fog was a bottomless dark place.
At this time, on the west side of Luoyue Pass, wolf smoke and beacon fires rose everywhere, and there was a sound of killing.
Seeing this scene, Ji You's face couldn't help but become much more serious.
This time, it is best not to encounter any barbarian cavalry when they go to the demon clan. Therefore, Sixianjian specially chose the barbarians to temporarily extinguish the war, and he hoped that they could sneak out of the pass secretly.
Even if you encounter barbarians on the road, it will at least not be fatal.
But no one would have thought that the barbarians would attack from the 100,000 mountains so quickly.
This means that if they leave the customs at this time, there will be a high chance that this trip will be affected by the war and may even encounter the barbarian army.
The money was indeed not spent in vain. The birthday peach in the prefecture office was not at all lost. This is really a life-long effort.
Ji You felt the powerful aura in the distance, and the sword intent had already begun to move slightly.
When it rains, you can wait for the rain to stop. When it is windy, you can wait for the wind to remain quiet, but the human race can wait for less time.
The demon clan's attitude was unclear. He neither refused the barbarian delegation to visit the snowy land nor refused the human delegation's visit to the north this time, which means they were hesitating.
Ji You didn't know why hesitated and wanted something, because no one could see through the heart of the demon emperor.
But what is certain is that the alliance or not is just a matter of thought.
Ji You turned around, looked at the barren land behind him in the fierce west wind, and then stood up and fell under the wall.
At this time, both the envoys, the demon clan who followed the north, and the cultivators who had not yet climbed the wall just now, got off the carriage. Seeing him roaring, his eyes were filled with inquiries.
"What happened outside?"
"Nothing happened, it's safe, you can go out right away."
The crowd in the team looked up at the burning clouds and remained silent for a long time.
