Chapter 178: Who kidnaps whom
Spring is coming again, and countless farmers are working hard in the fields. www.biquge.info Seeing that it was almost noon, a peasant woman carried food on her back and took her half-grown child to the field, bringing food to her family's strong laborers.
There had just been a spring rain in the morning, the ground was muddy and slippery, and from time to time there were children walking and slipping, falling on the ridges of the fields, muddy water. Then he cried and cried.
The women were busy bringing food to their men, and they only took a cursory look to see if the child had broken or not, and the result was naturally nothing. The children of the peasant family are all solid, and what is the matter if they fall in the field?
So, with a scolding, let the child follow, and continue to walk forward.
This is a very common scenario in rural areas.
Zhao Yue walked on the avenue by the field, smelling the smell of the dirt and looking at everything in front of him.
These are very novel experiences for him. Even on Earth, in a highly intelligent world, he had never experienced this. Later, when I practiced martial arts and practiced, I got used to coming and going, and I rarely even touched the soil, so I got away from all this more and more.
For a while, wandering around the Tianmang Continent, looking for traces of the Heavenly God Array and Divine Vine Seeds, the days passed more leisurely, and he had the heart to personally walk around the mud in the countryside and feel the breath of the soil.
The Tianmang Continent is huge, and although the population is also extremely large, it is scattered across the entire continent, and it is also sparse. This is even more true if you look at it through the eyes of mortals. For example, this village is a very inconspicuous small village around Green Water City. If you want to get to Greenwater, the fastest is horseback riding, which takes a few months, and if you change to the more common ox cart, it may take a year or two.
As for the distance between cities, it is getting farther and farther away. The vast area between them is a patch of uninhabited land. The area of the no-man's land far exceeds the territory of the city. If it weren't for the gods, mortals wouldn't necessarily be able to go from the territory of one city to the territory of another city after they had left their homeland all their lives.
Because of the long distance of the road, almost everyone in this small village called Gushan Village has never seen what Green Water City looks like. They were born, raised, married, had children, grew old, and died in this village, and most of them went to the farthest in their lives, walked and turned, and never went farther.
However, no matter how you say it, the Tianmang Continent is also the capital of the Tianmang Divine Kingdom. The faith collection system here has always been the most complete.
Even in such a small village, all adult men and women, from fifteen to fifty years old, must spend three hours a day reciting prayers. Although most people are illiterate, before the age of fifteen, they must memorize prayers by rote.
Every household should enshrine the portrait of the lord of the kingdom of God at home, and prepare incense burners and incense candles. Every morning and evening for an hour and a half of prayer, every house is filled with chanting and the whole village is filled with cigarette smoke.
On the last day of each month, all the families respectfully invite the portrait down at noon, use a special waterproof painting suit, and send it to the village house, and the village will invite the incense into the portrait of the lord in his prayer room.
Each family will give an evaluation based on the number of adults, the quantity and quality of incense wishes. The average person is qualified, a few people will be rated good, and a very few people will be rated excellent or very poor.
The kingdom of God does not levy taxes on any individual, but this incense power is a tax that every household has to pay.
Those who are rated as qualified will not be rewarded or punished, those who are good will be rewarded with rice, flour, meat and oil, those who are excellent will be rewarded with crystal coins, and those who are very poor must be made up next month. If you are rated as extremely poor for three consecutive months, or if you are rated extremely poor for a total of twelve months starting at the age of fifteen, you will be forcibly taken to the Green Water City Wishing Mansion.
However, this way of entering the city of green water, no one will want to try.
It is said that all people, before being sent to the Yuanli Mansion, will be blinded, and the warrior will abolish the dantian and will not be allowed to leave the mansion for life. There, apart from eating and sleeping, all the time is spent reciting prayers.
In this case, who would dare to be rated as extremely poor? Even if there are bubbles on the mouth and a hoarse throat, no one wants to be rated extremely badly.
Every year before the Chinese New Year, a deity will travel all over the surrounding villages to collect the power of the will.
If something goes wrong in any village, the village will also be arrested and taken to the Yuanli Mansion.
The time for him to collect the Wishing Power Tax is also fixed, and there will not be a matter of collecting a few more days this year and a few days less next year.
In addition, the time charged is exactly after the prayer is read in the morning and before the prayer is read in the evening.
Every family, no matter how poor it is, must not enter the wind and do not leak rain. Otherwise, if the portrait of the lord of the country is damaged, it will directly be the end of escorting the Yuanli Mansion.
Zhao Yue didn't seem to be walking fast, but he walked from the field to Muramasa's house in a few steps.
Almost all the villagers went to the fields, but none of the villagers' families did not. He has money, and ox carts, and although it is difficult to get to Greenwater City, it is still easy to get to town. You don't have to dig out of the soil at all, you just need to buy it.
The position of Muramasa is hereditary, and even if there is no man, he can recruit a son-in-law to inherit the position. Of course, if there are no men and women, then the position of Muramasa will naturally fall to someone else.
But generally speaking, it will also fall on Muramasa's blood relatives. If you don't even have blood relatives, you can only find another family. But this family is not just looking for it, it must be after the gods.
This kind of thing, the gods of Green Water City are familiar with it, and they will not be wrong again.
Now this Muramasa, the ancestor is said to have had a great god who was not able to come out, and it is said that even the lord of the city is not worthy to visit him.
However, after his fall, his descendants did not fight and slowly declined, and finally there was no more than a first-order true god. The descendants of the mortals then returned to their roots and returned to Green Water City to find a village to stay.
The location of the village is a fat shortage. As long as you pass the annual assessment, you will be rewarded with crystal coins. As for the rice, flour, oil, and meat, it is even more of a vehicle. Save for ten years or eight years, and any bad reviews can be bought to be qualified.
Then, when counting the villagers' wish value, a little bit of manipulation is another large amount of incense wishing power. Even if you don't read a single prayer, it's enough to give yourself a monthly evaluation. and a reward for nothing.
The house of the Muramasa family is definitely the most beautiful in the village, and the days of the Muramasa family are definitely the best in the village.
"Xiao Yifan!" Zhao Yue shouted when he walked in. Xiao Yifan, who was sitting around the family for lunch, raised his head when he heard this, and responded.
"Where is your ancestral treasure?" Zhao Yue asked again.
Xiao Yifan beckoned to Zhao Yue, said 'follow me', and took Zhao Yue into the bedroom. I saw him grope at the head of the bed, and gently pressed something, and a bluestone slab slipped under the bed, revealing a black cave.
Xiao Yifan beckoned again, said 'follow me', and climbed down first. Zhao Yue only flashed and appeared in the cave.
I saw that in the cave, there were a few Bogu shelves, on which were placed some medicine bottles, true divine weapons, runes, materials, and jade slips, but Xiao Yifan didn't look at these things, and went straight to the corner and opened a big wooden box. Inside the chest are pieces of Force Stones.
Xiao Yifan stroked these Force Stones, looking like he was too precious.
Zhao Yue couldn't help but shake his head and smile. These Force Stones are actually the most worthless things in the entire basement, but if the Xiao family wants to sit firmly in the position of Muramasa, these Force Stones are the most important things. When, when the village's wish power value is not enough, as long as you take a Force Stone and shake it in front of the statue, if you want to be qualified, you will be qualified, and if you want to be excellent, you will be excellent. He couldn't use anything else.
Zhao Yue's divine sense swept over all the jade slips and instantly wrote down all the contents in them. However, there was nothing he was looking for, and he turned around regretfully and wanted to go out, but saw two jade slips pressed under the Force Stone.
Zhao Yue's divine sense probed, his body stiffened suddenly, and he finally found what he needed. That was the Heavenly God Array's manipulation jade slip. And the jade slip next to it can be said to be even more important, it turned out to be the method of refining the Heavenly God Array.
Zhao Yue suppressed his excitement and wrote down the contents of the jade slip. Then, say to Xiao Yifan, go, go out.
He watched Xiao Yifan slowly walk out of the secret room, walk through the passage, climb onto the ground, press the mechanism, close the bluestone slab, and sprinkle some dust on the bluestone slab. Finally, walk back to the dining table.
All of this is the result of Zhao Yue's manipulation with the Great Dream Sutra, not to mention a family of mortals, even if it is a bunch of heavenly gods, they can't detect anything unusual.
The reason why Zhao Yue slowly watched Xiao Yifan act was actually to give him some compensation.
In that underground secret room, he paid attention to it, the domain god ancestor of the Xiao family spent a lot of thought, not to mention the true god who came back once a year, even he, a third-order heavenly god with the spiritual power of the domain god, couldn't see anything.
Moreover, the things in it are all materials of the True God Realm, which is nothing more than to let the gods who appear in the descendants enter the Heavenly God Realm faster, and there is nothing extraordinary. Except for the two jade slips at the bottom of the box.
Therefore, he really didn't expect to leave something for the Xiao family.
After thinking about it, he waved his hand, and a little bit of divine power did not enter the body of a table of people in the Xiao family.
Then, as he had come, he left quietly.
After the Xiao family finished eating in silence, they suddenly woke up from the control of the Great Dream Sutra. As soon as Xiao Yifan woke up, he smelled a foul smell.
"The second one, do you want to see if the junior is pulled into the trousers again? ”
Before the second daughter-in-law had caught her son, she smelled the stench, retreated with a red face, fetched water to bathe the child, and halfway through the wash, she found that her body was even more smelly.
The entire Xiao family found out that something was wrong with them earlier than her, so they boiled water and took a bath one by one, and they were very busy.
Fortunately, the whole village was quiet, and the people who could move, except for the Xiao family, were busy in the fields, and no one noticed the abnormality of the Xiao family. The Xiao family, who were wealthier peasants, had not yet fallen into the habit of hiring servants.
After all the baths, clothes and laundry, Xiao Yifan gathered the whole family together: "Today's matter is full of evil nature, no one is allowed to mention another word, let alone say it to others." Otherwise, the whole family will be arrested and sent to the Yuanli Mansion. ”
Xiao Yifan has always been the master of everything at home, and coupled with the notoriety of Yuanli Mansion, the Xiao family is really tight-lipped. After a long time, I forgot about it.
However, the third and fourth generations of the Xiao family who were born after this have produced more than one god.
Xiao Yifan quietly used the resources left by his ancestors on them, and the cultivation speed of these Xiao family descendants was amazingly fast. When Xiao Yifan died, the corners of his mouth were smiling.
Later, among the true gods of the Xiao family, a god appeared, and the Xiao family prospered again. However, the Xiao family's old house in the mountain village of Green Water City has not been abandoned. There is always a mortal descendant rooted here.
Zhao Yue obtained the Heavenly God Array and the refining method of the Heavenly God Array, immediately put away the deity, and hid in the Tibetan Heaven Ring to comprehend. The Tibetan Heaven Ring was carried by an incarnation of divine power and traveled around the Tianmang Continent.
Under this understanding, Zhao Yue found that the Heavenly God Array was indeed quite good, and if it helped, Zhao Yue could directly rampage around the True Yuan Star. He was going to refine more than a hundred sets of Heavenly God Armor, so he went to replace the black-robed Zhao Yue, and let this clone continue to find the Divine Vine Seed in the Tianmang Continent, and he recruited a group of people to go outside the Divine Kingdom.
The reason is that refining the Divine Armor requires extremely strong spiritual power, and if Zhao Yue in the black robe does this, even if his technique is as skilled as the deity, it will be much worse.
The spiritual power of the clone is only equivalent to his own cultivation, that is to say, the black-robed Zhao Yue is now a third-order heavenly god, and his spiritual power is also at the level of a third-order heavenly god.
What makes him stronger than the incarnation of divine power is that the incarnation of divine power cannot cultivate on its own, and it has to be supplemented by divine power by divine stones, not even force stones. Moreover, when the deity dies, the incarnation of the divine power created by the deity will also die. The doppelganger will continue to survive, and it can continue to improve the realm, there is no end.
If the incarnation of divine power is stationary, it will not consume a lot of divine power, and a divine stone is enough for it to exist for more than 10,000 years; if it is a slight activity, such as arranging a formation and refining a magic weapon to arrange a formation, it can only exist for a hundred years; if it is a fierce battle, it can only exist for a few years; if it is an all-out battle, it will probably support it for a few days.
Therefore, Zhao Yue prepared more than a dozen divine power stones for the incarnation of divine power far away from the deity. It is impossible for him to create many incarnations of divine power and look for clues to the divine vine everywhere, there is only one reason, he can't provide so many divine stones. As for such a thing as a divine stone, he has never seen anyone sell it.
This is also the reason why he is in a hurry to find the Divine Vine Seed.
He also thought about whether to discuss with Wu Jinshui to see if he could change his Sumeru ring. After thinking about it, I still gave up. That's the heirloom treasure that Wu Jinshui relies on, and he definitely values it more than life, what do you exchange for him?
As for snatching it over, Zhao Yue didn't think about it at all.
Due to his strong spiritual power, coupled with the assistance of Tianhe, Zhao Yue's refining of the Heavenly God Armor was very smooth, and his speed was getting faster and faster. In the case of trying it out at the beginning, it took about three months to refine a set of Celestial Armor, and there were several failures. After a year, there are no more failures.
After five years, the rate increased to two months.
Ten years later, the rate increased to one set a month.
Twenty years later, the speed had increased to two sets a month, and he gave up. First, the quantity is enough, and second, the money is not enough. If you refine it again, you will have to sell the secret treasures looted from each family.
It's better to auction these things.
Moreover, most of them are not suitable for the Heavenly God Realm gods to auction, which will cause unnecessary trouble.
At this time, the black-robed Zhao Yue came. Zhao Yue left him almost all the divine stones he had accumulated over the years, and almost all of those secret treasures were also left to him. He also prepared several avatars of divine power. Usually they sleep in the Sumeru ring, and when they need it, they will be released.
The reason why the incarnation of divine power is created by the deity is mainly because the deity is stronger, and the incarnation of divine power created is also stronger.
The same thing, if the same thing is done by the black-robed Zhao Yue and the gray-robed Zhao Yue, the incarnation of the divine power created is probably only the strength of the first order of the Heavenly God. The effect is much worse.
Zhao Yue left Tianmangxing, using a forged identity, and his identity jade plate had been handed over to the black-robed Zhao Yue.
Although he was alone, he had booked two cabins, one for the deity and the other for the incarnation of divine power.
They bought their tickets separately and boarded the ship separately, like two completely unrelated people.
Tianmang Continent is not strict with those who go out.
So Zhao Yue and the avatar easily boarded a huge flying boat. He deliberately selected, ten years later, the flying boat would dock at the True Yuan Star. After that, the flying boat will continue to fly in the void for hundreds of years, and finally return to the Tianmang Continent.
If the gods below the domain god want to travel in the kingdom of the gods, this is the main way.
Zhao Yue himself rarely goes out of the cabin, and even if he goes out, the time is not fixed.
Clones, however, often roam the ship.
The entire giant flying boat is like a small world, there are tens of thousands of gods and spirits in it, and at each docking place, there are hundreds of people going up and down, and the population flows quickly.
In addition to the cabins, there are also restaurants, tea rooms, shops, and auction halls. If you are not familiar with it, it may be easy to get lost in it. However, Zhao Yue was very familiar with this place after a few days of hard work.
He went to the tea room and the auction house most often, and slowly, he also began to come into contact with various auction circles, and even began to act as a broker, wandering among all kinds of people.
However, he is very strong, he is a third-order god, he doesn't have any shelves, he is proficient in the price of various items, and he is not greedy for money and profit, the key is that he is still very rich. So, he's very popular.
Although Zhao Yue left most of the treasures that were difficult to deal with, he left them in the hands of the black-robed Zhao Yue, and let him take them for auction after he was promoted to the domain god. But he still has a large number of easy-to-handle treasures in his hands, as well as a large number of Force Stones. Many of them were going to be handed over to the gray-robed Zhao Yue.
However, on the flying boat, he also wanted to try his luck and see if it was possible to meet the Divine Vine Seed.
During this period, he also encountered a lot of treasures that made him excited, but he generally didn't start, and only in the face of a few things that he didn't recognize, but the price was not too expensive, he made a 'collection' of one or two.
When the flying boat traveled for five or six years, most of the passengers on the ship had changed a few times, and the latecomers only knew that Zhao Yue was rich, and he did not have any strong backers, although his strength was strong, it was not too strong. Someone actually moved his mind and wanted to turn a black hand on Zhao Yue.
On this day, when passing by the meteorite belt, most people ran to the deck to see the excitement, and Zhao Yue, who usually liked to join in the excitement the most, was not in a good mood and went directly back to the cabin to rest.
Several people sneaked up in the hallway of his cabin.
As Zhao Yue's business is getting bigger and bigger, the place where he lives is getting more and more spacious. Originally, there were not many cabins in that corridor. Two of them were rented by this gang of ill-intentioned guys.
So, there was not a single idler.
One of them threw a few flags down the hallway. The person who was letting the wind outside made a gesture, meaning that he couldn't see the situation inside, and one of these people immediately raised a big hammer and smashed it towards the door of Zhao Yue's cabin, and then, several people rushed in. There was no more sound.
The man who was outside waited for a long time, and when he saw that the person who lived in the same corridor was about to return, his accomplice didn't make any movement. He couldn't hold his breath, collected the formation from the outside, walked to the rotten door of Zhao Yue's incarnation cabin and looked around, it was dark inside, and he couldn't see anything. He went in with a ghostly spirit, but he screamed half and then came to an abrupt end.
At this time, the people who lived in the same corridor hurried back, originally wanting to get something and go out, but suddenly saw the rotten door of Zhao Yue's incarnate cabin, and were taken aback, and hurriedly escaped and reported the situation to the guards on the ship.
The guards came to take a look and panicked. Zhao Yue's avatar size was a celebrity on the ship, and he had been there for a few years, and of course the guards knew that he had the strength of the third order of the Heavenly God. Now people are inside, but the door is rotten, but there is no sound at all. The guard was only a god of the first order, so of course he didn't dare to trespass, so he immediately notified the captain. A team of guards broke in with open flames, but found that the living room was in a mess, and Zhao Yue's incarnation was gone.
As a result, higher-order beings came one after another. In the last investigation, there was also a group of people who were missing at the same time. As soon as I inquired about the interrogation, those people killed people and set fires, doing all kinds of evil, and there were traces of spatial transmission at the scene. The final conclusion was that the gang had kidnapped the passengers and teleported them out of the ship.
A few small flying boats were still released very intimately on the flying boat, and they explored around, but naturally found nothing.
At the next stop, a large number of passengers got off the ship, and the extra boat money was gone, which was afraid. Zhao Yue also got off the boat in this group of passengers, no one thought it was strange, the more passengers rarely showed up, the more timid they were. I heard that there was a blatant kidnapping on the ship, and it would be strange not to be the first to slip away.
However, new passengers came aboard, and after a few docks, the boat resumed singing and dancing.
There are passengers who have been openly kidnapped, and only a few passengers have in their minds, and they can do nothing but be careful to avoid revealing their wealth. (To be continued.) )
