Xun An woke up quietly, he looked around and found that he and the rest of his companions were tied to a column. Next to it is the desolate yellow earth, and the white columns are extremely abrupt.

"What's going on?" Xun An's head tingled, and it took a while to recall what happened before he fell unconscious.

At the salt pond, he only saw the divine power in the sky enveloping the earth, and then everyone passed out together.

"We've been kidnapped?" looked at where he and the others were, the columns were stuck in the earth, and between them there were ditches filled with white liquid.

"It's some kind of formation. Xun An recalled the knowledge of Professor Linggong and calmly analyzed: "And these pillars that bind us should be totem poles." Is the god going to sacrifice us?"

If you look closely, there are no less than five hundred totem poles erected by this formation, and the scope of this formation is even wider.

On the gray altar at the core of the formation, the man holding the golden scepter chanted the words and kept waving the artifact in his hand. As he drove it, white particles poured into the trenches of the formation, forming a liquid similar to a stream of water flowing slowly.

"Ahh

"Blood sacrifice!" Xun An's face was ugly: "This is to use salt and mortals for blood sacrifice?"

Suddenly, he felt a chill in his vest, and his strength was slowly recovering.

"Who!" Xun An seemed to look at the other totem pole beside him, where one of his companions was being tied.

However, he was originally just a companion of a salt worker, but now he has a different kind of calmness. His hands tied behind his back pinched the seal, and used spells to help him heal his wounds.

"...... you" Xun An's expression was stunned, when did this companion of his own know how to spell?

"Could it be that you are an ambushed spy on the other side of the Spirit Palace?" For a moment, Xun An thought of the power struggle between the royal court and the Spirit Palace.

The "worker" smiled: "Don't worry, your own people." ”

Ji Le secretly observed this altar through this unconscious citizen in the form of spiritual possession.

"Looking at the number of people here, it must be that not only the workers of our Xia Kingdom Salt Pond, but also mortals from other places have also been arrested. As for those salt ......"

Seeing that all the clean salt that had been scavenged had flowed into the formation below, Ji Le's expression was a little distressed. But this also made him clearer: "Salt mine" is such a thing, and there is really another mystery!

After carefully surveying the surrounding environment, Ji Le said to Xun An again: "Don't worry, I will save you." Then the worker fell unconscious again.

In the Yongle Palace, Ji Le's eyes were closed, facing due north.

Suddenly, the paintbrush in his hand swung rapidly, and the golden spiritual power light was rendered on the jade drawing board in front of him. Those heroic lines gradually painted into the scene of the altar, and even the current situation of Xun An and the others was depicted one by one.

Yang Ke, Yu Yuan, and Liu Sheng, who were paying attention to the sidelines, changed color at the same time.

"Blood sacrifice? Ning Yuan he-" The Great Witch grabbed Yang Ke's arm tightly, for fear that Xun An and the others would become the next sacrifice.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll go and save people right away. Yang Ke comforted Yu Yuan in a low voice, hiding the worry in his eyes. He understands that at this juncture, he must not panic. Ning Yuan was still waiting to save himself.

Liu Sheng whispered to the soldiers around him to wait for Ji Le to complete the teleportation passage and immediately rush to save people.

The young man, the woman, and the emperor also watched in the palace.

Seeing that the jade plate was unable to withstand Ji Le's strength, and a slight crack appeared, he frowned and said to Yu Yuan: "The material of this jade plate is still not good, there is no better material in the Spirit Palace?"

Yu Yu was in a mess, and when the young man repeated it again, she came back to her senses and whispered: "The materials are still available, and a few pieces of chalcedony with a five-hundred-year-old fire have been mined in the mine. However, it is far from a day's work to make magic vessels from those chalcedony. ”

"Then hurry up and prepare. I heard that the refining methods of those two monks of the Taiping Sect are good, so I will let them do it later. There is also a paintbrush, gold and jade are compatible, so prepare a gold pen for him. By the way, it's best to use the fur of the mythical beast for the pen. ”

"There are many things with fur and horns in the Spirit Palace. But the metalware ......" Yu Yuan thought for a while: "I'll go back and rummage through the warehouse." ”

At this time, a colorful glow suddenly rose in the hall. Ji Le shouted: "It's done!"

When the landscape painting was finished, Ji Le quickly flicked his brush on the jade board and splashed a gorgeous rainbow bridge.

Yang Ke, who was waiting, didn't say a word, jumped directly on the Hongqiao and rushed to the other side.

Seeing this, Liu Sheng hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, follow me!" He took a hundred elites and chased Yang Ke to the altar.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Le planned to follow him, but the young man hurriedly pulled him by the collar: "Don't make trouble!"

Shi Huang's family and the woman came over to persuade him.

"The spirit of the country is related to the safety of the society, and it must not be tampered with!"

"How can I get into danger at will?"

The two dragged Ji Le and slowly pulled back, but Ji Le showed a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and said with a heartfelt voice: "No, the people are in distress outside, I am the incarnation of Guozuo, how can I sit idly by!"

As he spoke, he was going to go over to help, and he didn't listen to the persuasion of Cangjie and the woman at all.

"Why are you telling him so much?" the young man looked impatient, and with a handsome face, he tugged, carried, and fell, and threw Ji Le back to the main seat.

"Need you to save people? I think you're going to play, right?"

Ji Le looked displeased: "I'm just going to go out and have a look, you really want to lock me up in Jiugong City for the rest of your life!"

Since the time travel, he has never left the land realm of the Xia Kingdom. It is like a caged bird, protected by everyone. And this is also the situation that many national spirits have to face.

"Besides, that formation is indeed dangerous. Yang Ke: I'm afraid it's not easy for them to handle. ”

Shi Huang and the woman glanced at each other, and the stepmother Xin stepped forward to comfort him: "No matter how dangerous it is, with Yang Ke, a demigod, what else do you need to worry about? With a move, the military flag in Lingshan flew into her sleeve, and she stepped into the passage to catch up with Yang Ke and his party.

After she left, the passage just disappeared, leaving Emperor Shi in the main hall.

Emperor Shi looked stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Well, the old man will wait for the news with me. And we're here, and we're trying to solve the salt pond matter. Ji Le sorted out his clothes on the main seat and put on a serious expression: "The joke is here, let's discuss the business." ”

Ji Le wants to go out, and it's not fake to save people. But he understood his identity and knew that after Yang Ke left, he had to sit in Jiugong City.

From the very beginning, his purpose was to let the woman or Shi Huangshi follow him and announce the existence of his side. To save people is not Yang Ke's merit alone, but the joint action of the Spirit Palace and the royal court.

Ji Le put on this attitude, and Shi Huang and the young man sat down again. Seeing this, Yu Yu was about to leave, but was stopped by Ji Le: "Don't get in the way, you can stay and listen." ”

He took out the spirit left by the Black Monkey King and asked Ji Cangjie: "Old man, how about you say that I asked to summon the Shu Sha Clan?"

Su Sha, the ancient Yellow Emperor, good at salt, later generations respected as "Salt Sect".

Salt is an indispensable part of life, and since the Zhou Dynasty, there has been a "salt law" in China, and salt officials have been set up to manage salt administration. The salt administration has also been a key project of corruption and fraud for thousands of years. The belief in Yanzong already existed in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was brought into the new world with the ancestors.

Yu Yuan's eyes lit up, if the salt god came, maybe Xia Guo's problem could be solved!

Cangjie hesitated for a moment and shook his head lightly: "I worship my ancestors as gods in Huaxia, and I don't know how many people hold divinity." To summon the heroic spirits of the martyrs, you need to be cautious. Those who are gods still need to be revisited. After all, there is sacredness in this world. ”

Salt, since it is a special item, it is best not to get involved in the "salt industry" easily until you know the attitude of the local gods.

"Moreover, even if the Shusha clan arrives, there is no salt root here, what can it be?" After a pause, Cangjie said again: "Salt has always been produced, or sea brine refining, or taking well brine refining, or scraping alkaline soil decoction, or mining salt crystal refining, and now there is no salt brine near Jiugong City, how to produce salt?"

Youth: "The old man checked the records, but he still hasn't found the source of clean salt from other countries?"

"There are two salt wells and a salt mine, but they have been mined out and are currently unusable. ”

"Can't you dig deeper?" said the young man dissatisfied, "Perhaps, there is still something left in the depths of the salt mines." ”

Ji Le: "Old man, draw the address first." ”

Shi Huang had no choice but to mark the three locations he found on the map.

When Yu Yuan saw these three locations, she suddenly realized, pointed to a salt well and said: "This salt well is owned by the Aru Kingdom, and it was defeated by us back then, and this salt well was received together, but this salt well is no longer able to produce salt. As for these two ......"

"One is the Fangke tribe, and the other is the Dachi country. After Shi Huang's reminder, Yu Yu stopped talking. These two places were also the surrounding forces annexed by the Xia Kingdom. Since Emperor Shi said that these two places are empty, what he said must be true.

"The Xia Kingdom annexed so many small countries and tribes. According to the principle that every tribe and every country must be supplied with clean salt, I don't think other small countries have no way of making salt. Ji Le thought for a while and asked the young man to ring the bell at the door: "Call the god Zongbu, I'm going to ask how their Ayang tribe originally harvested salt." ”

"No need. Cui Jing wore a liuxian skirt and walked into the main hall: "I know that Your Highness is worried about the salt pool, and I deliberately went to your great spirits to ask about the method of making salt." ”

Ji Le laughed: "You girl is smart, you understand my heart." Tell me, what method do the other great spirits use?"

Cui Jing glanced at Yu Yuan and said softly: "The salt-making methods in the hands of these great spirits are mostly related to divine arts. Among them, the method of the Ayang tribe is to prepare an altar and then precipitate salt grains from the sun. ”

"Can salt come out of the sun?" Ji Le was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "The mythical era is really mysterious, I didn't expect there to be such a way to produce salt." ”

"Old man, since you can refine clean salt from the sun. Then with the divine power of the Susha clan, it may not be impossible to do it. Boiling the sea for salt, I'm looking forward to it. ”

"......" Shi Huangshi saw that Ji Le's attitude was resolute, and he was not good at what he was saying. I can only watch Ji Le take out his spirit and silently start a new round of invitation.
