North Xuancheng.

Located at the intersection of the north and south of the Xuanyang Realm and the Imperial Spirit Realm, it is a new city, which has only been established for more than ten years.

As I said before, the Xuanyang Sect rules the Xuanyang Realm that is 100,000 miles long, and the main map is still the territory of the Xuanyang Sect's mountain gate and the Eight Heavenly Cities, and the actual ruling area is actually less than one-third of the entire Xuanyang Realm.

There are also large areas of wilderness that are not taken seriously.

For example, before the Xuanyang Sect established the ninth Heavenly City for the Wanyou Heavenly Monarch.

Because Wanyou Tianjun opened the Immortal Cultivation Realm Version Bank, which led to a touching fortune, the nearly double-digit Yuanying Zhenjun shot at the same time, not only made Wanyou Tianjun in debt, incognito, and never appeared again, but also directly beat Wanyou Tiancheng to the spiritual vein scrapped.

Without the Heavenly City Spiritual Vein, the cost of ruling increased, and the Xuanyang Sect gradually gave up the Ninth Heavenly City.

The territory that originally belonged to Wanyou Heavenly City was then reduced to a wild land.

But that doesn't mean it's worthless.

It's just that the value contained here is not enough to make the Xuanyang Sect make a big move, as long as the wild cultivators who live here are sensible, don't cause trouble, and have good filial piety every year, the Xuanyang Sect will not be full and have nothing to do, and send people to exterminate and manage them.

But Xuanyang Sect doesn't care, but now the Datong Society and the Great Love True Monarch care very much.

One hundred and ten years of the Great Tong calendar, that is, fifteen years ago.

Everyone's respectful, admiring, and worshipping Great Love Zhenjun stared at the map of Xuanyang Realm for a long time, and then waved his hand, and the order to open up the wasteland in the north came into being.

Countless monks left their hometowns, brought their families with their families, stepped on the newly built road of the Datong Society, and went north impassionedly, opening up wasteland in the north, to pay food for the Datong Society, and work hard to build the Datong country.

Those second-order spiritual veins hidden in the desolate land, the third-order spiritual veins began to be used.

As for the wilderness cultivation that was hidden here in the past, not valued by the Xuanyang Sect, and became a family of its own, it was naturally crushed to the slag under the rolling wheels of the general trend of history, and only flexible and flexible monks were qualified to join the Datong family.

Beixuancheng is a new city established in this context.

On the other side of it is the border city of the Imperial Spirit Realm, the Iron City.

Although the two cities are only separated by a thin line, the situation in the two places is completely different.

The ordinary people of Beixuancheng live and work in peace and contentment, every day at sunrise and sunset, they can still go into the city to drink a little wine and listen to a little song, although the days are not extravagant enjoyment, but they are also quite leisurely.

After all, with the skills of a monk, it is really difficult to encounter a major natural disaster.

What droughts, floods, insect pests, simply do not exist.

If there is no water, then open up the river, call for wind and rain, and besides, which Lingnong will not know how to use the small cloud and rain technique.

In the event of a flood, a dam was built to divert the river, and even a great sun was summoned to burn the flood water......

As for man-made disasters, there is a great harmony, and stability is a must.

However, Xiao Tiecheng is boiling with public resentment, there are monks from the upper sect, local tyrants oppress, exploitation, and there are demon beasts from time to time to make trouble, and their lives are not guaranteed, and people die in the mouths of demon beasts almost every day.

Although Xiao Tiecheng is not on the front line of the war, no one is immune to the war.

The large group of demon beasts could not break through the defense line arranged by the Imperial Spirit Sect, but it was difficult to avoid it with a small force.

Even if Yuanying Zhenjun personally guarded it, it was impossible to patrol the Quartet from time to time.

Not to mention that it was impossible for the high-flying Yuanying True Monarch to exhaust his noble body and delay a trace of his precious cultivation time in order to reduce the flow of a few demon beasts to the rear.

You must know that back then, many true monarchs of the Xuanyang Sect were willing to inspect many responsible fields in the Xuanyang Realm, one was that Yu Xian took the teachings of the law as the orthodoxy, and the power of the Venerable as a deterrent, and there were also life-saving talismans on standing, so that the safety of their lives would not be threatened, and the carrot of meritorious service was hanging, so that many true monarchs could act willingly.

But the Imperial Spirit Sect does not have a great love true monarch.

As a result, in just a few decades, the density of active demon beasts in the territory of the Imperial Spirit, which had the habit of raising demons, skyrocketed.

However, the cultivation of the low-level monks could not be matched.

A group of farmers in the immortal cultivation realm who practice qi at the second or third level, at most, know how to fireball art, and have little experience in fighting methods, how can they defeat demon beasts who are strong, good at hunting, and can spell.

If only that were it.

After all, there are not many deaths.

Even if ten or eight people die a day, compared to the population of hundreds of thousands, nearly one million in a city, this casualty is not a matter at all.

The paranoid lord of the city lord in charge of the Iron City is in collusion with the local heroes, colluding up and down, often in the name of suppressing demons, adding to the tax set by the original Imperial Spirit Sect of forty or five.

What natural disasters and man-made disasters, monsters and beasts are not reasons not to pay taxes.

If you don't pay taxes, what will the city lord do to protect everyone's safety, and how to organize patrols to regularly eliminate the threat of demon beasts.

So ordinary monks originally worked hard for several generations, and finally saved a few acres of spiritual land, and just tossed back and forth a few times, and it became the field of the master above.

As a result, countless spiritual peasants and small landowners went bankrupt and became tenant farmers and even serfs of others.

I can't escape.

Farming for the lord of the city and the big clan, at least you can get a little security.

If you dare to flee to the barren mountains and forests, it is to send rations to the growing group of demon beasts.

That's how it is for everyone.

After all, you are not the only one who suffers, and psychologically it will finally feel better.

And after so many years, the new generation has grown up, and it seems that everyone around them has come over like this, and they feel that this is normal.

At this time, a North Xuancheng was built next door.

The distance between the two cities is only a hundred miles, and even if there are only monks with superficial cultivation, they can easily walk back and forth in a day.

As a result, people have been quiet there, and they are here to carry their burdens.

Everyone is at the bottom, and there are seniors and masters above, why is there such a big gap.

The most important thing is that monsters also bully the soft and fear the hard.

The demon beast has nothing to do with them, and when they go down the mountain to make a tooth sacrifice, they go down the mountain to give people a tooth sacrifice.

So later, the demon beasts learned to be smart, and that border line was like a line of life and death, and they would never step over it easily.

Why is that?

Many of the low-level monks in Howling Iron City will have a question about this.

Later, everyone understood that it was the Datong Association!

This great organization, founded by the Great Love True Monarch, takes everyone for me and me for everyone as the core concept, and truly makes every monk ruled by the Datong Society receive the respect and protection they deserve.

The information about the Datong Society was pieced together bit by bit, and it became the news that the low-level monks of Xiaotiecheng liked to talk about in their spare time.

If anyone can say a few quotations about the Great Love True Monarch, it seems that he has suddenly become the center of the crowd, as if he is also a person under the rule of the Datong Society.

As a result, everyone became more enthusiastic about learning and discussing everything in the Cosmopolitan Society.

Then as I learned, a thought gradually popped up in everyone's hearts.

It would be nice if Xiao Tiecheng was also managed by the Datong Society.

But no one dared to be the first to mention such a statement.

As early as a few years ago, due to the increasing number of people fleeing to the next door of Beixuan City, the patrol team of Xiao Tiecheng became diligent, not only guarding all the roads that could lead to the next door, but also dealing with all those who tried to escape strictly.

Whoever is caught will hang his head at the gate of the city the next day.

If the patrol team is in a bad mood, they will sit together, and even relatives and friends will not be able to escape.

Most of the low-level monks are in the early stage of Qi training, and they can only use a few simple small spells, and it is okay to deal with ordinary people and beasts, but if they really have to go over the mountains and mountains, they also have to avoid the threat of demon beasts, and it is not easy to escape to Beixuan City.

Not to mention the presence of patrols.

This group of people is holding a handle on demon beasts, but when dealing with their own people, it is easy to hold a handle.

So as more and more corpses hung at the gate of the city, the heart that had been excited also became silent, and did not dare to move easily.

It's just that the corpses hanging at the gate of the city tell everyone that the people who resist are always there.

……

Sledgehammer Village, it is said that the first village chief was a foundation building monk who was good at using sledgehammer spiritual weapons, hence the name.

This village is one of the many farms under the command of Xiao Tiecheng.

Originally, Sledgehammer Village was under the protection of the village chief Wang Wanhammer, a foundation-building monk, and it was also a pure land.

After all, after so many years of inheritance, the village chief and the villagers have a kinship, even if the village chief is the largest landlord, for the sake of his own reputation, he will not be too harsh to the relatives below.

But as the war on the front line intensified, there were more and more monsters wandering in the rear.

One day, a lone second-order demon beast somehow touched the village.

The village elder who has been pampered for many years manipulated the ancestral sledgehammer, fought with the demon beast in the dark, and the wind was fierce, and then he was heroically seriously injured, and after holding out for half a year, he left.

As a result, the roof leak happened to rain overnight.

The heir of the village chief failed to build the foundation in a hurry, and he also owed a debt for it.

Without the deterrence of the foundation building monks, Sledgehammer Village has become a piece of fat.

Taking the village chief's debt as an opportunity, it didn't take long for the spiritual fields of the entire Da Hammer Village to become the private land of the Zhou family in the city, and the villagers naturally became tenant farmers of the Zhou family and began to work for the Zhou family.

But the Zhou family is not the village head, and they have no relationship with the villagers, not only do they not talk about any affection, but they also have to squeeze out everyone's value.

In the end, there are more and more people who can't bear it, and the wind of Datong will blow here if it's okay.

Finally someone was intrigued.

this day.

The sun sets at the end of the field, and twilight falls.

Wang Miao had eaten dinner and was about to blow out the lamp to sleep, when he heard movement outside the courtyard, he secretly buttoned a fireball talisman that he had put on his body collection, and carefully checked through the window.

At this age, demon beasts often take advantage of the night to kill people, so they are very sensitive to night movements.

Even if life is difficult, prepare some attack talismans for backup.

Although it may not work, after having the talisman, it seems to have security in your heart, and you don't have to worry about it all the time.

By the moonlight, Wang Miao recognized this black shadow as his eldest son Wang He, who had been away from home for three years.

Three years ago, the eldest son was dissatisfied with a son-in-law of the Zhou family who robbed his daughter-in-law who had not passed the door, and shot out angrily, but he didn't even see the face of the son, and was seriously injured by the servants beside the son.

Later, Wang He's injuries were better and he disappeared.

The people in the village also helped to find it for a while, but there were too many missing people this year, so they gradually disappeared.

"River baby!"

Wang Miao pushed the door out, suppressing his excited voice.

"Daddy!"

Wang He was born quite tall and good-looking, but there was a deep whip mark embedded in his face, which made his whole person a little more fierce.

"The boy is back!"

He fell to his knees.

"Where have you been all these years?"

Wang Miao hurriedly picked up his son, took him into the house, lit the oil lamp again, and asked about the past.

The child's mother left early, he was a father and a mother to pull the child so big, when his son disappeared, he was the saddest one.

"Second brother, what about the third sister?"

Wang He glanced around and saw that there was no movement in the two huts next door, so he couldn't help asking.

Wang Miao was silent for a while, and said: "After you disappeared back then, I found a family for your second brother, and I have already separated from him, and the third sister also married in the next village." lest they may be affected by us. ”

Wang He was stunned: "Dad, you know everything?" ”

Wang Miao smiled bitterly: "Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, don't you know what you think in your heart is that it is difficult for me to be a father?" Originally, it was just some speculation, but now it seems that I guessed correctly, is it really as good as the legend is there in Beixuancheng?

If you have gone, why should you come back? Or are the legends all lies? ”

Wang He's expression was hidden with excitement: "Dad, it's all true!" And it's even better than the legend, I didn't long after I passed and divided the spiritual field, as long as I was fifty percent tax, and I was willing to do it, and opened up two acres of spiritual land, and these spiritual fields only needed to pay thirty percent tax in the first ten years.

Other than that, you don't have to pay any taxes.

By the way, Dad, I also joined the Datong Society, and now I am a member of the Datong Association.

The Datong Association also passed on my cultivation exercises, which are not the kind of incomplete exercises that only have two or three layers, nor are they low-level exercises that are useless at all except for qi training, but are real exercises, middle-level exercises that can be practiced all the way to the foundation building realm.

If you make meritorious contributions in the future, you can still learn high-level exercises.

I'm married to a daughter-in-law now, and I'm living happily.

When I came back this time, I just wanted to pick up my father and my younger siblings. ”

Wang Miao was so dazzled that she even felt like she was dreaming.

"Hewazi, what you said is true?"

He couldn't help but pinch his thigh, it hurt.

"Of course it's true, you are my father, I can't lie to you as a son, after I arrived in Beixuancheng, I knew that the previous days were not people's. Datong will have a supervision department, which is a department that specializes in helping us.

When we were bullied, we went to the Supervision Department to file a complaint.

Not long ago, a foundation building monk accidentally killed an ordinary person, took the initiative to go to the Supervision Department to admit punishment, and finally paid ten spirit stones to the dead family.

In our case, ordinary people were killed by the Tsukiji monks, and their families had to apologize so that they would not be angry and guilty. ”

"That's a lot to lose." Wang Miao couldn't help but gasp, and wondered: "But the seniors there are so good at talking, and they are willing to pay for it?" ”

Wang He grinned and said, "Naturally, I won't, but the Datong Society is willing to make decisions for us." If he dared to escape, it would be as simple as losing ten spirit stones. If you can't catch anyone in the end, I heard that even Jindan real people will be alarmed. ”

"Hiss......"

Wang Miao swallowed her saliva, completely shocked by her son's words.

"Jin Dan Zhenren, that is the same realm as the city lord, an existence with vast magical powers, and he will actually stand out for an ordinary person?"

"Of course."

Wang He's face was full of pride and said, "Otherwise, why is it called the Datong Association?" The Great Love True Monarch said that we, the monks, pay taxes for the Datong Society's farming, and they have the responsibility and obligation to protect us.

Moreover, the Jindan real person of the Datong Society is different from other places, and it is called Datong real person.

Because they were able to break through the Jindan realm, they were all helped by the Datong Society.

Therefore, if the Datong Association helps them, they will help us, and we can help the Datong Association to farm and work with peace of mind.

This is to make all for one and one for all. ”

Wang Miao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help muttering:

"Great love for the true king, really a great man."

"Dad, tomorrow you will go and inform the second brother and third sister, and our family will all move over."

But his son's words interrupted Wang Miao's fantasies.

"No way!"

Wang Miao shook his head and said: "The patrol team is not vegetarian, with our family, if we are caught, we will all be executed." Although the current days are a little harder, they can also get through.

If the whole family dies, the roots of the Wang family will be broken. ”

Wang Miao suddenly came to his senses and pushed his son out.

"Hewazi, since Beixuancheng and Datong are so good, you can stay there and don't have to worry about home. If you're doing well, there's hope on our side. ”

"While there is no one at night, you hurry up and don't let anyone see it."

Wang He was pushed and staggered, but quickly stood on his feet and said seriously:

"Dad, I came back this time just to take you to live a good life, don't worry, I have already figured out the way. Even if I do get caught in the end, I am a member of the Datong Society, and I have already been on the roster of the Datong Society.

The patrol didn't dare touch me.

The Great Love True Monarch is a big man who is the top of the sky, and even the top of the city lord can't compare to the big man. ”

Wang Miao was stunned, thinking of the life in Datong described by his son, a simple few words, but it was a day he couldn't think of.

His swarthy face froze like a sculpture, except for the thick Adam's apple sliding over his lean neck.

"Dad, don't you want to see if what I'm saying is true?"

Wang He saw that his father was moved, and hurriedly added a fire.

"Even if this kind of day is a hundred years from now, it will not be as good as a day over there."

Wang Miao confirmed again: "Are you really sure that the patrol team will not dare to kill you?" ”

Seeing this, Wang He took out a copper token from his bosom and said:

"Dad, this is the token of the Lingtian Division of the Datong Society, your son is now a person who has worshiped the Great Love True Monarch, and the adults above also said that your son has the posture of building a foundation, otherwise, I have only been in the past few years, how can there be such a big change.

How dare I pick you up and my younger siblings now.

You can rest assured, this time our old Wang family will not be bullied again. ”

Wang Miao finally made up her mind and said, "Your third sister is already married, so we don't have to take her, just leave the rest of the house and spirit stones in the family to her." Your second brother's side, I'll go find a chance to test it.

If he wants to go, he will take his daughter-in-law with us.

If he doesn't want to, I'll die with my old bones. ”

Wang He pondered, nodded and said, "Just listen to Dad." ”

"You hide in the house for the past two days and don't go out, I'll discuss with your second brother and come back to you."

Wang Miao felt that her heart was beating fast, but there was a kind of excitement that she couldn't wait.

He turned his head to look out the window at the darkness, never looking forward to tomorrow as he did now.

……

On the third day, as night fell, the ugly hour had passed.

Wang He and his father waited anxiously in the house with the packed salute.

"Why can't you come back yet?"

Wang He looked up at the night and couldn't help but ask again.

"Dad, are you talking about the current hour?"

Wang Miao also felt his temples jumping, although his son was very sure, but in the end it was a life-fighting thing, how could he not be nervous.

"It's now, why haven't you come yet?"

He stared closely at the dancing flames on the table, and suddenly remembered the scene when his second son wanted to speak to him several times, and seemed to understand something.

"It's broken!"

"River baby, you hurry up! Jiang Wazi is afraid that she will not come! ”

Wang He was about to ask why, when he heard a bang.

The courtyard door was kicked open, and then an arrogant voice rang out.

"Wang He, I didn't expect that after a few years, you actually fled to Beixuancheng. But if you don't stay there well, and dare to come back to make trouble, I think you're impatient! ”

"It's Wang Bao here."

Wang Miao heard who the person was, it was the village chief selected by the Zhou family in Sledgehammer Village, although he was also a member of the Wang family, but he treated his family more ruthlessly than outsiders.

Otherwise, you cannot hold the position of village head.

He hurriedly pushed his eldest son to the back window.

"He Wazi, this time my father can't stand you, I didn't find out that Jiang Wazi would betray us, you hurry up, I'll stop them."

He felt out the fireball talisman that he had prepared and was about to rush outside, but was grabbed by his eldest son.

"Dad, you forgot my identity, it's okay, it's okay."

Wang He took out the token, pretended to be calm, and walked out of the house.

Sure enough, I saw that the new village chief with a group of people almost crowded the entire courtyard, and his second brother Wang Jiang cowered and hid behind, being held by a big man by the collar, obviously leading the way.

"Why?"

Wang He couldn't help but ask.

Wang Jiang looked at the eldest brother who had not seen him for three years, his eyes were red, and he said guiltily:

"Big brother, I'm sorry, but Hongling is pregnant with my child, and I can't let her take risks."

"I'm asking why you betrayed me!"

Wang He roared angrily: "You don't want to go, if you don't go, why do you want to come out with my father and me!" ”

"Naturally, because I caught the two of you, I would have ten spirit stones."

Wang Bao, the head of the village, was a seven-foot-tall man, born with big shoulders and a round waist, standing there like a thick tree, and replied with a smile at the moment.

"You pariahs have escaped too much, but the above has sent a message, and if you report one, you will be rewarded with five spirit stones, and the two of you are ten spirit stones."

"Is it true?"

Wang He still had a trace of unrealistic expectations.

Wang Jiang turned his head, didn't dare to look at his eldest brother's eyes, and whispered in defense:

"It was Hongling who said that the child was about to be born and needed money......"

Wang He finally gave up, looked at Wang Bao, raised the token and said, "I am a member of the Datong Society. ”

But he didn't think that Wang Bao didn't look at it, he took a step forward, just like a wild bear hitting a tree, Wang He, who had already entered the middle stage of qi training, actually didn't have the slightest resistance, he was knocked out in one fell swoop, and fell heavily into the main hall, his chest was directly sunken in, and he was already more in and less out.

"What kind of Datong Society, it won't work here!"

As a physical cultivator, and Wang Bao, who had reached the late stage of the first order, laughed cruelly and said disdainfully:

"I thought there was some basis for it, but it turned out to be so vulnerable."

Then he waved his hand back.

"Tie them all up, and pick up the tokens, lest it say we've caught two random people to cheat the bounty."

So a group of dogs came out like tigers, grabbing Wang Miao and his son away.

The courtyard of the Wang family fell silent.

"Village, village chief, you said you wouldn't kill my father and my brother."

Wang Jiang walked over and said with a wincing voice.

"When did I say that? They dared to flee, and it was not a pity to die! ”

Wang Bao's tiger eyes glared, and he scared Wang Jiang back a few steps and almost fell, which did not make Wang Bao laugh.

"So, what about the bounty?"

Wang Jiang swallowed nervously and looked at Wang Bao carefully.

"By the way, there's a bounty."

Wang Bao threw out a thumb-sized lower grade spirit stone and dropped it on the ground.

"What's the piece?"

Seeing this small piece of spirit stone, Wang Jiang was so angry that he even forgot to be afraid.

"The mayor of this village brought so many people over at night, don't you want any remuneration?"

Wang Bao snorted coldly: "No matter how much you dare to talk more, there is not a piece." ”

The courage that Wang Jiang had just aroused fell instantly, and he bent down with difficulty to pick up the only spirit stone, and staggered out, his movements extremely embarrassed.

"Made, why didn't you find out before, this Wang Jiang looks like a dog."

Wang Bao's self-inflicted joke made the crowd burst into laughter.

……

Early the next morning.

There were two more cold corpses at the gate of Xiao Tiecheng, one old and one strong, and a notice was also posted, deliberately writing the identities of the two and the reason for their execution.

Most of the pedestrians are numb, and they have long been strange.

But there are also some people who see the three words Datonghui on the notice, which seem to be particularly dazzling, and their eyes are shining.

However, no matter what, they would not have expected that these two corpses would bring any changes to Xiao Tie City and even the entire Imperial Spirit Realm.
