Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to pick up the blue-red irregular stone, it felt a little warm and slippery, like a pebble with unpolished edges and corners, it can be called: Half-step late peak consummation?

Information about the appearance of the sea:

【Blue Flame Sacrifice Stone】

【Quality: White】

[Description: After burning the remains of Qingzhou fighters and crushing them, within a radius of ten meters, those who are also Qingzhou soldiers and martial arts paths will have their potential vitality stimulated and enter a state of "sacrifice". 】

[Note 1: After giving up, burn for one to nine years, increase the strength of one's own qi and blood by 15% ~ 150%, and last for one hundred and eight breaths. 】

[Note 2: If it is buried in the soil together with the remains of the Liangzhou soldiers for 12 hours, there may be special changes. 】

Jiang Chen knew it in his heart, and thought:

"It seems that this 'Note 2' is the key to the gathering of the five elements."

"I don't know if anyone in David's mainland has discovered the secret of the gathering of the five elements, if not, perhaps, I can still compete for the prestige and benefits of the person who invented the ritual......"

In the land of Kyushu, with the research and evolution of martial arts methods and rituals, thousands of strange rituals were born.

There are more practical rituals such as "riding the green ox upside down" and "returning the soul to the hometown", as well as some useless rituals such as "screaming", the only use of which is to incorporate the scream into the chicken-shaped wood carving.

Once pressed, it will let out a scream, which is one of the hundreds of funny props that the Qingzhou Military and Political Academy prohibits students from bringing into the hospital.

If someone develops a new ritual and obtains a two-way certification from the Qingzhou government and the military and political academy, they can gain a lot of prestige and some privileges.

If the ceremony is proved to have a certain practical value, it can be rewarded by the Qingzhou government, with a minimum of no less than one medium-grade sharp weapon;

If the ceremony is of great value and is recognized by the Davidic dynasty, money, treasures, beauties, status and power, you can have it all!

Jiang Chen felt a little excited in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of his other "invention" - flour.

"Counting the days, more than 20 days have passed, and I don't know when the second round of rewards from the imperial court will be transmitted to the military camp of Zhengxi?"

"Also, the tax collector who indirectly killed the original owner, it seems that his surname is Sheng, Master Sheng, has he received my thank you?"

With all kinds of imagination, Jiang Chen chuckled, jumped to the back of the old green cow again, and rode westward instead.

According to the fortune calculation results of the old man in the east, the team of animal trainers who captured the saber-toothed tiger will arrive in Xili City around tomorrow evening.

So.

The best place to ambush is a place called the Oasis of Clear Springs.

They would inevitably stop at the water source and rest for the night before setting out after dawn.

Jiang Chen calculated the distance.

If nothing else, you'll arrive when the sun goes down today!

……

And at this time.

Thousands of miles away, Qingzhou, Pingshou County, and Chensheng Township also had a major event that caused a sensation in the township.

And the cause and result of this major event are also closely related to Jiang Chen himself.

Although the original owner's parents died, there are still some relatives who have not passed the fifth service to help take care of the three acres of watered land left by his parents, as well as more than ten acres of barren mountain fields.

The original owner's uncle, Jiang Satting, is one of them.

He is in his fifties this year, and he is an extremely honest farmer, hard-working, and has spent most of his life farming to support his family.

is also Chen Bu's own brother.

Although the names of the two brothers sound a little ridiculous, in the eyes of poor farmers, "full food" and "not hungry" are the greatest expectations of parents for their children's future life.

It's just that when the two brothers were young, a dozen families surnamed Jiang in the village were secretly oppressed, exploited and excluded by the Sheng family, the largest surname in the village, and their lives became more and more difficult.

In desperation, the parents had to take their younger brother to another wealthy family surnamed Chen, who had no children under their knees.

That's why.

Before leaving, Chen was not hungry before he was willing to agree to Jiang's request to eat enough, and from time to time he took care of the only child surnamed Jiang in the group of people, that is, Jiang Chen.

"When you go out, be careful, the Western Regions is not a good place!"

"Got it, brother."

"I'll take notice, uncle!"

When his younger brother and nephews are far away from home,

At the end of every month, Jiang Fengfan will go to Huting to find a postman to inquire about the recent situation of the people of Pingshou County, especially ......

The life and death of his nephew and brother who are not hungry!

…………

On the forty-fifth day after the Qingzhou Army set out, the second letter sent by Chen Buyu finally mentioned Jiang Chen's name:

[Brother, this nephew of your Jiang family may have something wrong with his brain! ] 】

[This kid was stunned by the scorpion for more than ten hours, I thought he wouldn't survive, I thought he would be burned to ashes, bring a few broken bones back, and bury him in the field, and bury him in our own field.

But maybe it was the blessing of Lord Qingtian, he woke up that night and asked for water, and I was relieved that I wouldn't be sorry for you.

But from this day on, your ginger boy's brain case seems to have something wrong, and he is startled all day long, pretending to be a ghost, really thinking that he is a diviner?

But whoever has a little knowledge will not have no knowledge at all! 】

[How can a person who has not undergone a ritual be divination? 】

Jiang Fengfan laughed, it's good to save your life, it's okay if your brain is bad, only fools have foolish blessings.

After reading the letter, he was much happier that night and ate half a bowl of rice.

However.

The unexpected happened!

The letter that had been agreed to be written once every 30 days was sent just four or five days later!

Such an abnormal phenomenon frightened the honest farmer Han Jiang for half a day and did not dare to open the envelope, for fear that his nephew or younger brother would die in a foreign country or something major had happened!

He had long heard that the scrambled Muramasa had gone to the Western Regions, and in just one or two months, seven or eight thousand people had died!

At last

Or the wife tore open the envelope.

In the letter, Chen Bu's tone has changed greatly from the last time!

is no longer "your ginger boy",

Rather—

"Jiang Xian's nephew"!

[Brother, my good brother, I'm afraid that our Jiang family is going to have a character, a few days ago, Jiang Xian's nephew made a lot of noise......]

In the letter, Jiang Chen gathered in a car, faced the top ten Qingzhou soldiers alone, and was named the head of the people's husband.

This can startle the honest farmer Han Jiang's full meal, but when he thinks about it, tears unconsciously flow:

"Our Jiang family, we finally don't need to be bullied!"

Pity.

It didn't take a few days.

The bullying that should have come has come after all.

"After so many days, nearly 10,000 people have died, and the three acres of land under the name of the stinky boy of the Jiang family should also be ...... It's a change of owner! ”

The tax collector who called Sheng Zhongxian laughed fiercely, and could no longer hold back his greed for the Jiang family's land, and took more than 20 families with the same surname to surround Jiang Fengfan in front of the door, waving debt books in his hands!

"Pay back!"

"Jiang Chen's parents owe my family dozens of taels of silver, so they committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, and the father's debt must be repaid!"

"It's only right to pay back debts!"

"It doesn't matter if they die, the parents of the Jiang family, they are cowering on weekdays, they have no ability, and if they live in the world, they will only eat rice expensive!"

"Uncle Full, you came out to say something!"

Listen to these words that humiliate the dead.

"Insult my door!"

"When I was starving to death when I was young, the Jiang family never borrowed a penny from your Sheng family!"

Jiang Fengfan's face turned pale with anger, his eyes were full of grievance and anger, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, carried the firewood axe at home, and pushed open the door of his house with a bang.

At this moment, the audience was silent.

Everyone's faces changed, and several timid families were instigated, and instinctively took half a step back, but as a tax collector, Sheng Zhongxian was not a person who gave up halfway?

Are you afraid of a mere axe?

With a sneer, he said:

"Jiang is full of rice, your family's taxes this year have not been paid!"

As soon as he heard this, Jiang Fengfan became even more angry, his chest rose and fell, and he said angrily:

"The surname is Sheng, there are four or five hundred people in the village, and my Jiang family has a total of only seventeen or eighteen households, plus the unborn fetus, there are only eighty or ninety people, why should I pay half of the village's taxes?"

Sheng Zhongxian smiled and said:

"My Sheng family, just a few families, it's normal to pay less."

In the next sentence, his face gradually turned cold:

"I am the official, and it is my duty to collect taxes for the country, and it has nothing to do with you! If you say more, you will pay the taxes you owe in previous years! ”

A chubby Mr. Sheng's bookkeeper shook the folding fan and said with a smile:

"If you sell your nephew's three acres of watered land, as well as those dozen acres of mountain land, it will just be able to offset the amount in the debt book, and there is a little leftover, which can offset the Jiang family's taxes this year."

Jiang Fengfan was furious, cracked the wooden door in half with an axe, and said angrily:

"Whoever dares to touch my nephew's land, I will take someone's life!"

Sheng Zhongxian's eyes were cold:

"If I invite the Qingzhou veterans in the Tiger Pavilion, then this matter will not be just a few acres of land, and it can be dismissed."

Jiang Fengfan held the firewood axe tightly, and said angrily:

"Then you can go and please!"

The words just fell!

Several Qingzhou soldiers in cyan armor strode into the village.

Mr. Sheng's bookkeeper turned around and said, half surprised and half delighted:

"Master Sheng, you have long expected that the Jiang family's oil and salt will not enter, these Qingzhou soldiers...... Did you invite you in advance? ”

Sheng Zhongxian was a little dazed, touched the back of his head, and said in a strange tone:

"No, if you call those soldiers, three acres of land, I can leave one acre, thank God."

Soon.

Several Qingzhou soldiers, led by the villagers, strode to this village and asked in a loud voice:

"Where are Jiang Chen's relatives?"

Hear this.

Jiang Fengfan panicked, isn't his nephew dead? But if you think about it carefully, how can your nephew have the ability to invite the Qingzhou soldiers?

Unless......

Everyone present thought of some possibility at this moment!

Didn't you join the military and become a Qingzhou soldier?

Jiang Fengfan was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately shouted:

"I am Jiang Chen's uncle!"

Sheng Zhongxian was uneasy in his heart, clenched his fists, looked closely at the Qingzhou soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and guessed in his heart: "Is it really a Qingzhou soldier?" ”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"The Qingzhou soldier seed that has not yet been picked away in Hongxiang is only the son of the Gongsun family!"

The bookkeeper unknowingly broke the folding fan.

In the complex emotions of everyone, a Qingzhou soldier was full of joy, holding the field deed and documents, strode into the crowd, and said with a smile:

"Congratulations to everyone, Jiang Chen, a native of Pingshou County, has made great contributions to the Western Army, and has been awarded the title of 100 independent generals of the people, and has entered the official register!"

A word startles a thousand waves!

Everyone was stunned for a long time, Sheng Zhongxian's face was even pale, and for a while, the audience was silent, even if a needle fell to the ground, it could be heard.

Qingzhou Bing was stunned:

"Am I in the wrong place? Pingshou County, Jiang Chen, a native of Chen Sheng Township, parents and relatives, are they here? ”

Jiang Fengfan hurriedly shouted:

"I'm his uncle, what's the matter, just look for me!"

Then.

The leader of the Qingzhou soldiers came out, took out the paperwork from the package, handed it to Jiang Fengfang, and said with a smile on his face:

"Before I was discharged from the army, I was just a hundred generals, and your Jiang Gongzi, I heard that ...... Only eighteen years old? ”

Jiang Fengfan said happily:

"After the New Year, I was only eighteen years old."

Hear the words.

The leader of the Qingzhou soldiers smiled a little more, glanced coldly at the people of the Sheng family, and then patted Jiang Fengfan, a farmer, and said with a smile:

"This is the deed of 100 acres of fertile land under the reward of 100 generals, as well as this official naturalization document, you can always take good care of your Qilin'er."

"Yes, yes, I risked my life and wouldn't let anyone else touch these things."

Jiang Fengfan blushed with excitement and quickly patted his chest.

The leader of the Qingzhou soldiers smiled and said a few words of greeting to get closer, and then left with several Qingzhou soldiers to find the three elders of the township, leaving behind the Sheng clan people with a sluggish face, and ......

A bunch of villagers came to see the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.

"What? It's not a military membership, it's an official membership!? ”

"What kind of general is the 100 independent generals of the people, isn't it, an official who is more powerful than the general?"

"After getting an official body, then in the future, should we change our name to Master Jiang?"

"Uncle Full, let me see, what is written on that paperwork?"

Many villagers were full of curiosity, surrounded the rice balls with crops and ginger, and some even moved their hands and feet.

"This is my nephew's thing, don't touch it!"

Jiang was full of rice with a tiger face, holding the official documents in both hands, and the protection was tight, but the content of the field deed was seen by some bear children who were jumping and jumping with their hands and feet.

The only literate child shouted:

"Isn't that the field of Master Sheng's family?"

Connection.

The audience fell silent again.

Jiang was stunned for a long time, his face was a little surprised, and he hurriedly asked the literate villagers to help take a look.

Now, everyone saw the contents of the deed clearly.

The location marked in Chinese is between the left bank of the Ping'an River and the Jianya Mountain.

That is...... The land owned by Sheng Zhongxian's family.

As soon as I heard this.

Sheng Zhongxian suddenly panicked, hurriedly squeezed through the crowd roughly, and fixed his eyes on Tian Qi.

After seeing the words and the official seal on it, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning and he fainted.

"Master Sheng!"

Mr. Ledger was so frightened that he left Sheng Zhongxian directly and fled.

When he woke up again,

The three elders of the township who were on crutches had already revised all the information of the heads of households in the local field register, and threw a full 1,600 taels of silver in front of Sheng Zhongxian, and said suddenly:

"I remember that your family still has more than 20 acres of mountainous land, so in the future, you will go to live in the mountains."

Sheng Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, and then said in shock:

"My family's watered land is a full 124 acres!"

"The Jiang family's little ...... Jiang Chen, who had a good life, only got a hundred acres of land! ”

Although the third elder of the township is nearly sixty years old, he was also a Qingzhou soldier when he was young, and the tiger elder Wei is especially there, and he said loudly:

"Where did you get more than 100 acres, remember, your family is just 100 acres of land!"

"Besides, write a resignation letter tomorrow and go to the mountains to be a hunter."

Sheng Zhongxian, the former tax collector, sat on the ground, looking up at the sunset that was about to set, panicking like a lost dog.

…………

Sunset.

Thousands of miles away in the Gobi.

Jiang Chen, who was planning the "Wilderness Orion", suddenly sneezed several times in succession, and frowned:

"Who's cursing me?"
