Chapter 030: A soldier from the town
There are more than 20 villages under Mingyue Town.
It's not a big town, the villages are far apart, and because of the rampant demons and monsters, the connection between the villages has almost been completely severed.
Because of the existence of Qingming Mountain, there is a slight proximity between Zhaojia Village and Shanqian Village.
However, in half a month, the two villages have undergone tremendous changes, and the villagers have more smiles on their faces, and people come to worship from time to time before the mountain temple.
This is true both in Shanqian Village and Zhaojia Village.
The matter of the ghost that he was worried about had been completely resolved after the opening of the Netherworld below, and the most important thing was that Zhang Ming had gained more benefits from the underworld.
The establishment of the underworld is definitely a big event for this world, so there is a little feeling of the power of the world, and the ghost is touched in his heart.
But because the underworld has just been established, the Heavenly Dao has its own protection, and no one is aware of it for a while.
Zhang Ming strictly manages the prefecture, and he is allowed to enter but not to leave.
On this day, Zhang Ming was patrolling the underworld, and suddenly he felt something, and his heart had disappeared into the underworld.
"In such a hurry, what happened?" Zhang Ming sat in the middle of the law domain, his expression was majestic, and several generals under his command sat on both sides.
Below is the increasingly respectful red fox.
"Yan Jun, there is movement in the direction of Mingyue Town, and I heard through the clans in the city that the land god seems to have awakened the day before yesterday. Red Fox said respectfully.
Since the establishment of the underworld, Zhang Ming's divine robe has changed, and even the mountain god seal has produced a trace of abnormality.
Therefore, everyone no longer calls Zhang Ming as the mountain god, but as Yan Jun.
This is more in line with the development and establishment of the system.
Of course, the ordinary people outside are still called the mountain god.
"The land god is awake, and there is no life?" Zhang Ming stopped, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "I would like to meet this guy who forcibly occupies the god position as a ghost general for a while......"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Before, everyone may have been a little afraid of facing that ghost general, but now Yan Jun's divine power is like a prison, unfathomable, what else is there to fear?
"Yan Jun has one more thing that is a little troublesome. The red fox waited until everyone was quiet before he continued.
The Red Fox has a clan that lives in Mingyue Town, so snakes, insects, rats and ants are all eyeliners, which is why Zhang Ming handed over the task of finding out the news to the Red Fox.
"What?"
"Several big families in the city seem to have completely fallen to that land......," Red Fox said, his tone a little dull.
"How is this possible?" said Red Fox, and some guys who knew the inside story said subconsciously.
Three or four years ago, the gods disappeared, and each family sacrificed to their ancestral gods, becoming the earthbound spirits who guarded the fortune of the family, even in villages everywhere.
The same was true in Zhaojiacun before, and everyone knows this.
But when the land god entered Mingyue Town, it set off a bloody storm, especially the earth binding spirits of all races in the town, who were even more brutally killed and became the food for that one.
This is a big feud, how can you compromise?!
"It's nothing more than coercion and temptation. Zhang Ming waved his hand and said.
Red Fox and the others were speechless when they heard this.
The human race is too weak in this world, and both demons and ghosts seem to be able to bully them.
In this case, if the land god is coerced and lured, this kind of thing can easily happen.
"What Yan Jun said is extremely true, I have already found out the reason before I came," the red fox nodded lightly, "It seems that the land god Kuan Wuming summoned the heads of each family on the first day of leaving the customs, and then destroyed more than ten powerful ghosts, and it is said that he also promised that after the death of each family, he could follow Kuan Wuming and be protected by Kuan Wuming, and the two sides reached a dependency relationship. ”
"I didn't expect that it was good to be detained, and it is no wonder that the families are willing to compromise and vassal, although the ancestral spirit is important, but it only protects the living, but it cannot shelter the soul of the dead after death, with this promise of detaining life, this is equivalent to giving these families a guarantee, and there is no need to worry about the soul scattering. ”
Qiu Yun, who had read the book, was the first to react and couldn't help but speak.
"You wait a minute. Zhang Ming suddenly spoke, and then closed his eyes slightly and was silent.
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't say much.
But in a moment, Zhang Ming had already reopened his eyes, looked at everyone and said, "The one from Mingyue Town has already started to act, just now there are human race armor soldiers from Zhaojia Village who came to collect taxes, and the taxes are three times as high as before. ”
"Three?" everyone looked at each other.
Although everyone is a ghost, they also know those things above, and now Zhaojia Village has just recovered its breath, let alone three times, even if it is forced to collect taxes now, it will also cause famine in Zhaojia Village.
Not to mention that this is the time of year for planting, and spring is coming......
"Is that ambushing the families ready to use the Terran as the vanguard and want to test it, or is he going to break the source of his faith first from the Terran side as a breakthrough point?" this thought flashed through Zhang Ming's heart.
"You guys go down and prepare to deal with it, those Terran armor soldiers have their own countermeasures, if there is a place where the Yin soldiers and ghosts try to come in, they will all be intercepted and killed!" Zhang Ming's eyes looked into the distance slightly, and a sneer bloomed at the corner of his mouth.
"Yes!"
The largest family in Mingyue Town is the Li family.
Once the ancestor had a prefect, for a small avoidance town, it is definitely a typical example of the ancestors' generosity.
Although the Li family has been declining more and more since then, although each generation of family heads has no great ambitions, they can be regarded as having some ability to defend the city.
In this way, the Li family did not go out, took root in the small Mingyue Town, and became the home of the squire in Mingyue Town.
In the past hundred years, there have been nearly 1,000 clansmen from near and far, and they are worthy of the name of the first family in Mingyue Town.
When he rushed into Mingyue Town at that time, he personally killed the ancestral spirit of the Li family, and then shocked the Li family with thunder.
Since then, the head of the Li family has an instinctive fear of detention without life in his heart, and when he later appeared to restrain the Li family, he almost did not waste any strength.
And *** became the mayor of Mingyue Town again, and also became the pawn of Zhang Ming this time.
"The town is difficult, and now all the villages have suffered disasters, your Zhaojia Village has a good harvest, so you should take the initiative to take responsibility and increase the tax revenue three times!" said a man in a robe viciously, and the two armor soldiers behind him had a fierce glint in their eyes.
Although Mingyue Town is not big, it also has more than 30 armor soldiers for self-protection.
"Fart, my Zhaojia Village has just been able to fill my stomach, how to pay taxes?!" a villager shouted dissatisfiedly, "And when we were affected by the disaster a few years ago, we didn't see the slightest help from the town, what is the difference between coming at this time and robbing?!"
"Hmm, you're not convinced?" the robed man in the lead suddenly turned his head to stare at the man who spoke, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I ......" The man who spoke suddenly froze, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Bah, it's really a poor mountain and a bad water!" the robed man sneered, "Drag him out for me, let these people know who is here to say!"
As soon as the words fell, a soldier suddenly stepped forward, viciously pushed the two people in front of him, and reached out to grab the man who spoke.
"Stop!" A cold voice sounded at this moment, and the armorer felt a chill in his heart, and then his wrist was firmly held by a pair of powerful palms.
"Look for death!" a hint of shame flashed across the soldier's face, and he turned around with his other hand to draw a long knife from his waist and hurt someone.
"Choke!"
There was a crisp sound, and the knife light flashed.
"Down!" a loud cheer rang out......
