285 Something like the fortune of the country
"Gentleman, there are a lot of stone ships."
Looking at the boats in a row, the dog was a little surprised, "New Year's Day can still be so busy." ”
"It seems to be borrowing Wenshui as a canal."
Open the map and see that the quarry is not far away, and the construction site is in the southeast of Wenshui.
"Strange, Wenshui southeast, shouldn't it be 'Wuwen County'?"
Frowning, Wei Hao was puzzled.
"Gentleman, the fortunes of the country here are declining badly, who is the boatman and the slender man who are sheltering?"
"Generally speaking, it's a demon killer or a charlatan dart master. But the current situation should not be necessarily. ”
When I entered a mountainous area, it suddenly snowed, and I could already hear the noise.
Wei Hao stepped on the snow without a trace, and soon reached the top of a cedar tree, a white cloak wrapped around his body, and his eyes looked into the distance, and he saw a valley where Wenshui crossed, and the mountains on both sides had been carved out of huge gaps.
The gravel rolls down, through logs and ropes, and gradually slides down to the shore.
There were fleets of boats on both sides of the river, and the slender men dragged the cables, leaning forward, almost parallel to the ground.
Use your hands and feet together to move forward.
From time to time, someone will cast spells, mostly as a means to ward off the cold, so that the slender men can continue to work.
Higher spells are also expensive, and not everyone can afford to use them.
However, seeing this scene, it still made Wei Hao feel that the fire was big, and a good spell, not to mention finding a way to pull the fiber, but to supervise the fiber pulling, it was simply hateful!
"I've never seen this kind of dress."
Wei Hao carefully looked at the warlocks who kept the slender men away, not so much warlocks, but soldiers who could do both spells.
This kind of person should not appear with swagger.
Seeing that those guys all had the same symbol on them, Wei Hao compared the similar symbols he had seen one by one, but there was still no similarity.
It is not the Shangnei Attendant, nor the Qin Heavenly Prison, nor the Heavenly Survey Prison, nor the symbolic patterns of the Long Xiang Army, the Flying Bear Army and other powerful teams.
"There is a horizontal line under the semicircle of the symbol, and a vertical line runs through the center...... Haven't seen it. ”
He asked the dog, "Xiao Wang, have you ever seen this kind of symbol?" ”
After drawing it in the palm of his hand, the dog shook his head, and he had never seen it before.
"It seems that it should be new."
Wei Hao was stunned suddenly, "The land lord said that there was a noble person who arrived, and he was able to come here recently, I'm afraid it wasn't 'Dong Bohou'?" ”
And "Dong Bohou" is also a strange title that was hastily confirmed, the legend of ancient times, is no longer reliable, everything is from a new beginning.
After such scrutiny, Wei Hao asked Yan Xuanxin to get close to reconnoiter and make sure.
The New Year Feiyan is not very reasonable, Yan Xuanxin changed into a hemp robe, changed into a little sparrow, jumped around the mining area, and landed in the stone boat from time to time.
Soon, Yan Xuanxin flew to Wei Hao's side.
"The elephant prince is the people of the 'Dong Bohou' mansion, and these monks who follow the slender man are members of the 'Heaven and Earth Guard' under the command of the 'Dong Bohou'."
"'Heaven and Earth Guard'?!"
Wei Hao was speechless for a moment, this "Dong Bohou" punishment.
It's a big breath, and I also got a "heaven and earth guard" out.
"Xuan Xin, you go and see where these stones are unloaded first, and the construction site should be where they are unloaded."
"Yes."
The little sparrow flapped its wings and flew away directly, searching all the way along Wenshui.
"Gentleman, what about us?"
"Let's go to 'Jiangjiagou' to inquire first."
"Okay."
Call!!
The cloak shook and immediately fled, leaving no footprints on the branch where he had been standing.
After a while, a few New Year's landed on their heads, tilting their heads to look left and right, obviously not realizing that the place where they were staying now had just been visited.
In the mountains, Wei Hao's figure was like a white match, and under the cover of snow, he couldn't see the trace at all.
Wang Jiexing showed a dog's head, sniffed slightly, and noticed a place where there were people.
And Wei Hao's perception has spread to fifty miles away, and the location of "Jiangjiagou" is not far in a straight line, only fifteen miles away from the quarry, but seven or eight mountains are blocked, and the winding mountain road is far away.
It's just that you can't stop for a hundred miles.
Between the hills, Wei Hao unexpectedly found a large number of altars, each of which was similar to a beacon tower, and there were soldiers stationed in them.
Less is a tire, more is a team.
There are both long and short weapons, and they are also equipped with various rune paper and magic weapons.
"Good fellow, when did the local garrison become so rich?!"
Wei Hao was very shocked, you must know that a strong army like Long Xiang Jun does not mean that rune paper is used as straw paper.
But along the way, it swept over seven or eight hills, and there were more than 20 large and small sentry posts, with a total strength of about 1,000.
You don't use a fire sickle to make a fire, but you use a "fire talisman", a kind of rune paper that can set things on fire.
Don't look downscale, but to make rune paper, you must be a cultivator who specializes in runes.
And if you want to carry mana, ordinary paper is useless, and you must have "Lingyun" to show it.
Paper is definitely not simple, not ordinary.
According to the practice of all dynasties, usually the "tribute paper" made by the famous ministers and fierce generals has its own "spiritual rhyme", and the cultivation of the rune paper only needs to solve the problem of the rune in one go, and the rest is natural.
Generally speaking, these things are controlled goods and cannot be proliferated.
The imperial court controls the demon exterminators, and it is precisely from the source that two controls are made, one is the basic materials, that is, the elixirs used to enhance strength, spiritual charm, and so on; The second is the "Fa-rectification" that works in the world, that is, the exercises used for cultivation, not all evil arts can be successful, evil arts can become stronger, but if they are struck by lightning, they will die, but the "Fa-rectification" is different, and they are not afraid of being struck by lightning.
For example, the spotted fox is already considered to be not lacking in family resources or "rectification", but it is purely a fox with no qualifications, and he will die if he is struck by lightning, and he has no determination to start over, so it is even more stubborn.
The two daughters have been cultivated for thousands of years, and if any big demon has such a good deal, the first one will come over and kowtow to Wei Hao.
To knock a few knocks, there is no ambiguity.
It is precisely because there are so many pits in the cultivation that when he sees ordinary soldiers using "fire talismans" to make fires for warmth, how can this not shock Wei Hao?!
"What's the origin of this 'Dong Bohou'?!"
Wei Hao patted the dog's head on his chest.
The dog was speechless for a moment: "Gentleman, I'm just a dog, not a bag to inquire." ”
"You didn't study hard when you were in Qilin Academy?!"
"That gentleman is in the Vermilion Bird Academy, and he didn't say that he would finish the heroes of the world."
"I'm a good arithmeticist, so I just need to learn elementary math. Besides, I am very familiar with the local officials in Beiyang Mansion, such as a few family treasures. ”
"Gentleman, you are the one who wants to be the top student in the arithmetic department, and you want to look at the world, how can you only stare at one acre and three points of land in Beiyang Mansion? I'm going to criticize you! ”
“……”
The little dog was eloquent, Wei Hao was furious, and he rubbed the dog's head angrily at that time.
After a while, I finally arrived at a Wu fort, in terms of shape, it is a bit similar to a "rectangular earth building", and the shape of the product is built along the mountain.
There are a lot of zigzag-shaped Wubao groups in the whole "Jiangjiagou", but it can be seen that there is some depression now.
"There's an officer stationed here."
Wrapped in a white cloak, Wei Hao stood at the highest place, looking down, feeling the surrounding atmosphere, a place similar to an ancestral hall, several officials wearing fox furs, eating around the stove.
In terms of dress, it's a Great Xia bureaucrat.
But the guys who are waiting left and right are a bit of a problem.
"Fox?"
A few maids are not humans, but fox spirits, with low cultivation and weak mana, and it is estimated that they can't withstand Orion's firewood knife.
"It's kind of interesting."
Wei Hao suddenly guessed, "Could it be that the generosity of 'Dong Bohou' has something to do with inhuman spirits?" ”
It's not impossible.
From the perspective of others, why don't Wei Hao and Wang Fubo cooperate with the spirits?
What they did, "Dong Bohou" naturally did it.
However, there is one more thing, Wei Hao feels strange, "Jiang Jiagou" is a man who has been over-transferred, and the person who is not "Jiang Jiagou" has died.
There are still men, old and weak women and children, and there are thousands and hundreds of people.
Where is it at this time?
Wei Hao raised his hand to cover his eyebrows, and with a pair of fiery eyes, he looked everywhere, and suddenly found the place where people gathered.
They all gathered in two other "rectangular earth buildings".
Judging from the traces of activity, it should be united in one place in case of accidents.
Moreover, it is convenient for the children to be restrained together, so as not to know where the detached family is taken away by wolves.
"Let's go, go over and have a look."
Jumping up, there was not even the sound of the wind, and the snowflakes never fell, and after a while, the magpie rose and fell, and it had already moved to the place.
The four corners of the entire "rectangular earth building" are arrow towers and lookout corners, and strong archers take turns staring.
The ladder up and down was movable, with a fire in it and dozens of bowstrings hanging not far away.
The arrows were neatly stacked, and there was also water and dry food.
There is no iron armor in the armor, only bamboo armor and leather armor transported from the south.
Whether it is old or young, they are silent, and the mountains of the first month are very dull.
But judging from the traces of various tulou, perhaps the previous New Year was not depressed to such a point.
Wei Hao pricked up his ears and heard the women who were busy spinning linen complaining.
Complaining about the weather, complaining about the court, complaining about the officials, complaining about the husband, complaining about injustice......
"'Ding Jiayuan' heard that it was interrupted, and asked Ding Juren to borrow grain, and they all went to the county seat. I see, this 'Ding Jiayuan' is afraid that he will suffer. ”
"Didn't Ding Juren say that he has always taken good care of his fellow villagers?"
"Oh~~ That's the time when 'Ding Jiayuan' doesn't worry about food and clothing, what was the year before, and what is the year now? Ding Juren has a maximum of 500 acres of land on hand, but once this year passes, 5,000 acres will not be able to be stopped. ”
"Nonsense, how can you not be able to hold five thousand acres!"
"Still not convinced?" 'Someone died in the East Mine, and yesterday I went to deliver food to those who didn't work, and I accidentally heard it. ”
"Huh? Dead? That...... What about the 'West Mine'? ”
"How do you know that?"
"You stupid woman, why don't you ask?"
"There's no news now, it's good news, don't ask."
“……”
There was silence for a while, only the twine was thrown into the basket in a ball, and there would be some movement.
Just listening to the small talk of these women, Wei Hao was sure that they had the courage to sue.
Complaining is just complaining, but complaining still works tenaciously and has more tenacious wisdom.
Yes, in such a world, no news is good news.
"Gentleman, although there is popularity here, there is no national fortune protection, and the goblins can enter the village to carry out activities, how can this maintain order?"
The dog was also observing, and it just felt that something was wrong.
There is no protection of national fortunes, there is no large number of weapons, and there are no demon killers, if there are groups of spirits, this is a drama of impending disaster.
"No, you close your eyes and feel it."
Wei Hao stroked the dog's head and let Wang Jiexing feel the surrounding environment again.
When the dog heard this, he immediately closed his dog eyes, and the surroundings were very quiet, except for the busy sound of women, even the children were gathered in a group to play with you and I took a picture.
Soon, Wang Jiexing discovered the problem.
It's true that there is no national fortune here, but something new and similar to the national fortune is being born.
No, not born, but already in operation.
The dog followed this special charm and explored, and found that different mountains have different altars.
When I came, the outposts and beacon towers on the mountain were actually altars.
Demon?!
No.
The dog originally thought that it was an evil god sacrificed by evil magic and demon methods, but found that there was no evil, on the contrary, this kind of charm, like the national fortune, has the role of joint protection.
A large number of outposts and altars, combined, are an extremely large altar.
It stretches out, but I am afraid that the mountains are in it.
The scope is very vast, Wang Jiexing guessed that it was more than two hundred miles, if there was no "Two Realms Mountain", it is estimated that Mount Tai could be included.
But now, it is obvious that Mount Tai and the two realms of the mountains cannot be touched, so this strange charm is expanding around the southwest of Mount Tai.
"It's like there's something in there."
"Not bad."
After getting Wei Hao's affirmative answer, the dog was suddenly stunned: "The gentleman knows? ”
"My fiery eyes are superior to your dog's eyes."
“……”
With a dog's face, the dog was speechless.
Smiling, Wei Hao said: "Although I don't know what it is, but at present, it seems that it is not an evil god or a demon, and it should also be a shelter for the common people." ”
"No need to destroy?"
"It depends."
Wei Hao said indifferently, "It's still the same sentence, righteous people use evil methods, and their evil is also right; Evil people use the right law, and their righteousness is also evil. Everything depends on the follow-up. ”
"Shall we go down there now?"
"Not necessarily."
Wei Hao glanced at the surrounding mountains, "Just go to the fields and go around the mountains." ”
After that, Wei Hao left again, arrived at a mountainside, and stomped his feet in a dilapidated mountain temple: "Where is the mountain god?!" ”
"Uh...... Which immortal is calling? ”
A voice was heard, and from among the snowy rocks behind the mountain temple, a blind tiger with broken teeth and eyes jumped.
This tiger is very frail, very old, and when he speaks, he is quite leaky.
When he arrived in front of Wei Hao, the tiger looked up and suddenly crawled on the ground: "Oh, it's King Wei who is coming, and the little god is far away, and the little god is far away, and he is ......far away."
"You have the flesh of a tiger, how can you recognize me?"
"The king doesn't know, this body was originally my mount, but it is old and weak, and the little god can't bear it to die in the wind and snow, so he possesses it and maintains its vitality."
When Wei Hao heard this, he stared at the tiger, only to find that there was indeed more than one soul, in addition to the soul of the tiger itself, there was also the face of a middle-aged man.
Looking at the statue of the god of the mountain temple, it is quite similar.
Wei Hao nodded and said, "This is not a solution, birth, old age, sickness and death are suffering, and you have to endure it." Look at the opening point. ”
"Well, how does the little god not know? However, this big cat said that it was a mount, but in fact it was a brother, it was rescued by his father when he was a child, raised to a year old, and was afraid of his neighbors, so he had to be released into the mountains and forests. It's just that later it often turned, and many mountain goods were delivered to the home. One year, after a drought and then locusts, it ran all over more than 30 mountains, saving my family and the villagers in this mountain. Isn't it just a bite to eat......"
Listening to the mountain gods, Wei Hao was fascinated by the stories of the past.
When the mountain god finished speaking, Wei Hao knew why he didn't give up for a long time and wanted to maintain the vitality of this tiger.
It was only because the villagers accepted the existence of this tiger that every time there was a famine for 40 years, the mountain god who was still alive at that time took the tiger out hunting.
With meat, it is natural to survive the famine.
Because of driving tigers and hunting, it is quite magical in the eyes of outsiders, which is why you can get the mountain god after death.
It's just that the mountain god never feels that this is his own credit, in his opinion, this is all the merit of the tiger brothers.
When a sudden flash flood broke out one year, he rode a tiger to save people, and finally died of exhaustion, and the image after death is the image of the mountain god who drives the tiger and rides the tiger.
After becoming a god, he thought that the tiger brothers would be reincarnated as human beings in the future, so they counted on accumulating more merits.
With the decline of the mountain village, this idea declined, because the mountain god felt that the tiger brothers at this time were more free.
At this moment, the mountain god's idea for the tiger is to make it as happy as possible, and then reincarnate and reincarnate as an adult.
Hearing such a legend, Wei Hao sighed: "In this way, you help me break the case of 'Jiang Jiagou', and after it is closed, I will say hello to the underworld and give it a convenient time." ”
"Ah......h
The mountain god was directly stunned, he never expected that this would be a good thing from heaven!
Immediately prostrate and kowtow, but the image of the tiger is somewhat weird, and it looks very weird.
The mountain god said again and again: "Thank you King Wei, thank you King Wei, the little god must do his best......"
Wei Hao hurriedly picked up the tiger, and then said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this, I just say hello, whether it is successful or not, I don't dare to pack a ticket." ”
That being said, but the mountain god had seen it in the underworld, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and felt that he had finally found a reliable landing for the tiger brothers.
