Xia Yan briefly explained two sentences, and plunged into the water.

His water was terrible before, and that's because his body didn't fit in.

Whether it's swimming or holding his breath, he would have been, but the muscle memory of this body needs to be re-cultivated.

In the half month that he accompanied the old man to the north, he swam in the water from time to time, which can be regarded as slowly raising the water nature.

The small waterhole under the waterfall is now difficult for him.

But if you just sit under the water and meditate, the effect is actually very average.

Because the sword cultivation of the acquired realm, in addition to drinking water, you also have to breathe.

Every once in a while you have to go up to change your breath, if it's really so troublesome, don't pretend, just sit on the edge of the waterhole.

The reason why he hurriedly drilled into the water was because Xiao Zhu told him that there was something under the water.

Before, at the southern end of the island, Xia Yan himself experienced the concentration of vitality and came to the judgment that there was a quasi-dragon vein here.

This is judged by the phenomenon, not by seeing it with one's own eyes.

Zhu Xianjian couldn't speak clearly, and he woke up when he beat Xiong Jianwei, and then he kept explaining to him in a rambling manner.

The little guy jumped out at most once at a time, and often didn't understand the words, Xia Yan couldn't understand them separately, and he couldn't read them together.

walked all the way to the edge of the waterhole, and Xia Yan finally strung together several keywords that appeared one after another:

"Underwater."

"Spiritual veins."

"It's not."

"Stuff."

"Moving."

These words are sandwiched into a lot of stammering nonsense, if it weren't for Xia Yan's good memory, they really wouldn't be able to string together.

It seems that the generation point of the vitality of this heaven and earth is not the spiritual vein.

It's a mighty living creature.

It can produce the heaven and earth vitality at the level of dragon veins, and it is under the water, what is it, Xia Yan knows in his heart.

This should be a water spirit beast.

Spirit beasts are different from demon beasts, and demon beasts are gradually developed wisdom after being influenced by the vitality of heaven and earth over the years.

It has to be a good luck to be favored by other enlightened masters, granted a cultivation method, and eventually become an existence that can compete with human cultivators.

Therefore, demon beasts are essentially similar to human cultivators, one is by talent, and the other is by chance, and they slowly cultivate by themselves.

Spirit beasts, on the other hand, don't need to cultivate, this thing is born between heaven and earth, and they are born to cultivate.

With the Five Elements Wind and Thunder as attributes, from weak to strong, their forms are different at each stage.

And with the combination of yin and yang, it can roughly determine their style of acting.

The yang is uplifting, and the yin is lurking.

And the biggest difference with demon beasts is that demon beasts absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to cultivate, while spirit beasts are the opposite.

Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is not a cultivation resource for them, but a waste product generated in the process of cultivation, which must be expelled from the body.

Of course, these are the experiences of Xia Yanhong, and in this world, the predecessors have heard similar legends, which can confirm each other.

Legend has it that the source of all the spiritual veins in this continent is the remains of a wind spirit beast.

This wind spirit beast cultivated to the highest form of Kunpeng, but was beaten to the dust by a cultivation giant.

The corpse crashed into the earth and gradually evolved into the spiritual veins of this continent.

And the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi contained in its whole body, after ten years and thousands, is still emanating into the sky, where it comes from and where it goes back.

For 100,000 years, the cultivators who came into being from this continent have awakened sword species, martial souls, and witch souls under the influence of these vitality, and embarked on the path of cultivation step by step.

A whale falls, and everything is born.

The rank of the spirit beast, in terms of form, is a total of seven grades.

When it comes to the best, it is the Wind Kunpeng, the Thunder Spirit Ape, the Golden White Tiger, the Wood Green Dragon, the Water Turtle Snake, the Fire Vermilion Bird, and the Earth Qilin.

Among them, the seven forms of water spirit beasts, from low to high, are: eel, carp, sturgeon, shark, whale, and true martial turtle snake.

Now the head under the waterhole, if it is a true martial turtle snake, then Xia Yan will turn around and leave.

Not to mention him now, even if he was in the heyday of the flood famine, he had to weigh it carefully, whether he was someone's opponent.

Fortunately, Xia Yan can roughly judge from the concentration of vitality that this thing is also in the form of an eel, and its combat power is about equal to the human innate realm.

Beat it.

Therefore, Xia Yan's entry into the water this time was not a direct retreat, and it was actually not a fight.

Fighting is a preparatory means that cannot be negotiated, and his real purpose is to negotiate.

Anyway, if you pull your Heaven and Earth Vitality, I will absorb some of your waste.

Why don't we discuss, can you pull more, so that I can break through the realm faster.

How can I make the spirit beast Dora Heaven and Earth Vitality, this Xia Yan is too good.

The spirit beast ranch he controls in the flood wilderness can be among the top five in scale.

He knew what spirit animals eat.

The more you eat, the more you pull.

Spirit animals like to eat talismans.

It just so happened that Xia Yan was wearing a talisman armor at this time.

……

Yanjing City, the gate of the prison of the Criminal Department.

Xia Yuntian was involved in the rebellion case, and it will be tried in three sessions today.

The so-called three-hall trial is also called the three-law division, and the three law divisions are the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple.

This can be regarded as the "highest courtesy" for prisoners within the dynasty, and Xia Yuantian's identity was originally not enough, mainly involving King Yan.

Yesterday, King Yan had already been sentenced.

Ling Chi.

Originally, the rebellion was to kill the nine clans, but as a result, if the genealogy was calculated, if it was really the nine clans that killed King Yan, then the emperor would have to be escorted to the execution ground.

Therefore, in addition to Ling Chi, the punishment of the three clans can be regarded as a light sentence.

After the sentence of the principal offender is completed, it is the turn of the accomplices.

Originally, in order, it was not Xia Yuntian's turn to be tried.

Because the Xia family only sold more than 500 sets of swords from King Yan, the implication was not so serious.

Buying and selling swords was not a crime in the Yukei Dynasty, and buying and selling armor was a felony.

The main problem is that this transaction is that the shopkeeper of the Xia family's southern Xinjiang branch is shoddy and privately sells a batch of scrap products in the Xia family's swords.

The waste products in the Xia family's sword are not bad if they are left in the world.

The Southern Xinjiang branch is in charge of doing this in order to fatten his own pocket, and he will definitely not enter the public account.

If it is not recorded, then this transaction is not a double settlement of money and goods.

The Xia family also changed from selling swords to subsidizing swords, which involved rebellion.

And the shopkeeper of the Xia family's southern Xinjiang branch has disappeared.

So it's not clear, and it depends on how the government judges and judges.

When I arrived at the hall today, the presiding judge was a member of the second rank of the Yuqing Dynasty, and Lord Shangshu Leng of the Criminal Department.

When Lord Leng saw the situation in the hall, he didn't say anything, and first looked left and right at the two colleagues.

One is Lord Chen, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, and the other is Lord Qing of Dali Temple.

These two looked at his nose and nose at this time, and ignored him.

Lord Leng was very embarrassed, and looked at the two kneeling in the hall again.

One is the prisoner Xia Yuntian, and the other is Tu Gaoyuan.

Halfway through the trial, the god of wealth who was originally just watching as an observer suddenly walked over and knelt down.

In the prison of the Criminal Department before, money can make ghosts grind, whatever you want.

Not now.

In the public court, the documents are recorded on the side, and the words cannot be said nonsense.

"Mr. Tu." Lord Leng asked, "This case has nothing to do with you, why are you kneeling under the hall?" ”

Tu Gaoyuan looked at the clerical officer who was writing like a flying pen on the left and right, and took out a booklet from his arms: "My lord, I have an account book here, and I invite you to look at it." ”

"What ledger?"

"The account book of the Nanjiang branch of my Tujia Qian Village, the money exchange between the Nanjiang Wangfu and Jiang Mingshan, the shopkeeper of the Nanjiang branch of the Xia family, is clear here."

"Bring it in."

An official errand on the left and right stepped forward and took the booklet.

Tu Gaoyuan said: "Page 23, third column from the right. On the eighth day of February this year, Bai Chongyi, the housekeeper of the Southern Xinjiang Palace, transferred 3,000 taels of silver to Jiang Mingshan's private account. I don't dare to say anything about this matter, and I ask my lord to make a clear decision. ”

The account book was presented to the table, and Lord Leng didn't go through it, but said to the side: "Identify it." ”

A special clerk next to him stepped forward, looked carefully at it for a while, sniffed it with his nose, and said: "Your Excellency, this account book is indeed the account book of the Tujia Qian Village, the binding is intact, and the ink is more than three months old. ”

Lord Leng nodded, and then reached out to flip through the account book, and soon saw the relevant records.

He looked left and right again: "It seems that Jiang Mingshan sold those swords to the Southern Xinjiang Royal Mansion privately, the evidence is conclusive, and the two adults can have objections." ”

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Okay, since it's for sale, then the Xia family has nothing to do with the rebellion of the king of Southern Xinjiang. Do you have any objections? ”

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

Lord Leng nodded, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In this way, not only did he secretly benefit from this matter, but he also explained it on the surface.

Originally, I thought that Tu Gaoyuan was holding 20 million taels of silver, and he was holding hot hands.

As a result, this god of wealth in the world is really good at doing things.

After thinking about this, Lord Leng began to think about how he should close the case.

Whether Xia Yuntian should be acquitted or sent back to the prison first, and everyone will discuss it again.

Let's just let it go.

Now this Xia Yuntian can't be offended, this is the in-laws of the God of Wealth.

And I heard that his son Xia Yun also entered the Sword Debate Competition in the School Palace, and he was only half a step away from the cultivation world.

The Xia family is about to gain momentum, if he stretches his legs and trips them at this time, not only will his legs be discounted when he turns around, but his head will probably be lost.

While thinking about it, Lord Leng had already picked up the shocking wood in his hand, and was about to announce the closure of the case, but he saw a group of eunuchs walking in quickly outside the lobby.

The chief eunuch was dressed in a red robe, walked hurriedly, and shouted loudly: "The Holy Decree is ordained, don't you kneel to greet you?" ”

"Bang la", kneeling in the lobby.

"Xia Yuntian colluded with the vassal king to intend to rebel, the crime is unforgivable, sentenced to Ling Chi, and exterminated the nine clans!"
