Chapter 151: Heavenly Eye, Open!
Prime Minister Pei Xiao!
Like Shangguan Xiangpeng, he is another big celebrity in front of Zhu Zongyou.
Moreover, he is quite popular among hundreds of officials in the imperial court, and is also quite trusted by Zhu Zongyou, and is an absolute representative of the real power faction.
There is a saying that has always been circulated in ancient dynasties.
Pei Xiaozhi, Wen Cheng and Wu Xiang.
Wen Neng is stable and stable.
Wu can command the three armies.
This is a transcendent powerhouse who is famous in the Holy Realm.
"Humph! So what? β
Lin Yan snorted lightly, and stretched out his right hand to the side and shook it.
Suction emerges.
A war knife on the weapon rack flew into his hand in an instant, and he slashed at Duan Bangqing without hesitation.
The sword light instantly stretched out two zhang long, splitting Duan Bangqing into two.
And Lin Yan threw it away.
The sword returned to its original position as if it had never been moved.
Duan Bangqing showed a look of disbelief.
"You...... You ......"
A thin red line appeared on his head, drawing from the middle of his forehead and extending into the armor below his neck, splitting the entire head and neck in two.
Take a closer look.
Even the armor had a thin line of cracks.
Poof!
Duan Bangqing's body split into two and fell to the ground softly, blood and internal organs flowed to the ground, so frightened that Duan Yan, who was not far away, instantly collapsed on the ground.
Long Armor was also shocked.
I couldn't believe that Lin Yan had beheaded Duan Bangqing like this.
Didn't even hesitate.
He, is he really not afraid of offending the prime minister?
γDing! Kill the Grand Master Realm Duan Bangqing and reward 6 martial arts points; As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he adds an additional 42 martial arts points. γ
[Available Martial Arts Value: 397]
Lin Yan said in a deep voice: "Hmph! A good Duan Bangqing, not only took his nephew to falsely convey the holy will, extorted tyranny from the people, and died to the verge of death, but also slandered the prime minister for also participating in this matter, which is really an unforgivable crime.
"Vice General Long, truthfully report the situation to the imperial court."
Lin Yan didn't know much about Pei Xiao, but he had heard some of them when he was in the imperial city, but he hadn't come into contact with them.
If you really want to talk about it, Lin Yan is not afraid of the other party.
But.
He didn't want to embarrass his brother-in-law Zhu Zongyou, so this sentence was buttoned up, directly clearing the relationship between Pei Xiao and the Duan family's uncle and nephew, and also cleaning up the door for Pei Xiao.
On the surface, both sides are reasonable, and Pei Xiao has to thank Lin Yan.
Unless Pei Xiao is stupid, he will blame Lin Yan in turn.
And Lin Yan knows.
If Pei Xiao really indulges the people under him in such a way, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
But for now, it cannot be concluded that Pei Xiao is aware of Duan Bangqing's words.
Everything remains to be seen.
Only then did the dragon armor come back to his senses.
Immediately understood.
He immediately clenched his fists: "Yes!" The final general will report truthfully. β
Lin Yan beheading a great grandmaster is as simple as pinching an ant to death, and when he saw this scene, Long Armor knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and nothing could be changed anyway.
Instead of talking nonsense to offend Lin Yan.
It's better to be honest and obedient.
Otherwise.
Lin Yan said that he was a member of the same party and beheaded them together, and I am afraid that no one in the entire military camp really dared to question anything.
Lin Yan said again: "Also, the soldiers who participated in the collection of taxes, but all those who beat the people, all received fines, and no one should be missing.
"And ordered the Duan family to pay back the extra taxes collected from the people over the years within seven days, even if it was less than a penny, and all of them were decided!"
Long Kai nodded: "Yes!" β
A moment later.
The entire barracks exploded directly, and all the generals and soldiers were all stunned, unbelievable that someone had beheaded Duan Bangqing, the chief soldier in the barracks.
Fortunately, there was a dragon armor to suppress the array, but it didn't cause any chaos.
"This ...... Duan Zongbing really levied such a heavy tax on the people? β
"No wonder Mr. Duan's family has suddenly become so rich in recent years, it turns out that it was all squeezed from the common people, it's really damn good."
"Well deserved!"
"Damn, last year's levy of forty percent was not satisfied, but this year dare to levy eighty percent? He is forcing the people to death, if their uncles and nephews don't die, who will die? β
"Good death!"
"Mr. Duan is the protΓ©gΓ© of the Prime Minister, the year before last, the Prime Minister also came to the barracks to see Mr. Duan, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Mr. Duan was beheaded, if the Prime Minister knew, I am afraid something would happen."
"I guess the Prime Minister doesn't know, right?"
"Informed? Can he know? Deputy General Long said that General Duan not only took his nephew to extort from the people, but also slandered the Prime Minister for being involved, if the Prime Minister knew, he would not be able to pick up a layer of skin for their uncle and nephew? β
"Duan Yan pretended to convey the holy will, this is a big sin of the Nine Clans! Now only their uncle and nephew are killed, and the people of the Duan family are spit out the extra taxes, which is already a great gift. β
"If you want me to say, you should behead all those people in the Duan family!"
"The Duan family also has good people, you have cut it all down, it's easy, but those kind-hearted Duan family members will be unlucky."
ββ¦β¦β
Early the next morning.
As soon as the sun rose, Duan Yan was already escorted into the prison car and began to wander around the nearby villages, and the soldiers beat gongs and shouted.
"The general soldier Duan Bangqing and his nephew Duan Yan colluded, falsely spread the holy will, extorted tyranny, and oppressed the people, and now Duan Bangqing has been ambushed, Duan Yan will be beheaded at the gate of the barracks this evening.
"If the village is overtaxed, the Ministry of War will order the Duan family to withdraw in full, and it will be distributed to all villages at that time."
Clang!!
"The chief soldier Duan Bangqing colluded with his nephew Duan Yan to falsely convey the holy will ......"
Clang!!
"General Soldier Duan Bangqing and his nephew ......"
All the villages, when they saw this scene, were all stunned.
Then they all cried with joy.
"Great! That's great! We...... We don't have to pay that much tax, we ...... We're going to live......"
"Good! Well done! β
"That Duan Yan and his uncle Duan Bangqing are simply a scourge, good killing!"
"That's right! This evening, we are going to the gate of the barracks to see Duan Yan beheaded. β
ββ¦β¦β
All the villages, the whole people are excited.
The Zada family, who heard the news, were even more stunned, and they couldn't believe it at all, Lin Yan said that he wanted to solve the matter yesterday, and it was really solved early this morning.
And!
Duan Yan and his uncle Duan Bangqing all fell.
There are also taxes that were overcollected in previous years, and the Duan family must be ordered to withdraw all and return them to the villagers.
That's great!
"Daddy, did that Mr. Lin do it?"
Zada's son couldn't help but ask.
Zada nodded: "Yes, it must be." β
In the evening of the same day.
Duan Yan was beheaded for public display, and the people of the Duan family were also escorted to the execution ground, and they were given seven days to take out all the taxes that had been paid in their pockets over the years.
Otherwise, he will be decided, and all the Duan family's property will be auctioned off and returned to the people!
This verdict is very satisfying.
All the onlookers clapped their hands and shouted, "God has finally opened his eyes."
There are also those soldiers who helped Duan Yan bully the people.
They were also reprimanded in public.
The fight was screaming again and again.
Lin Yan didn't go to kill Duan Yan with his own hands, mainly because Duan Yan didn't even reach the innate realm, and he couldn't get martial arts values by killing him, so Lin Yan was too lazy to do it.
When Zada and the others returned to the village, they all looked excited.
Suddenly found that Lin Yan had also come to the village again.
Zada hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down directly and kowtowed.
"Eun Gong!!"
The other people in the village had already heard Zada talk about this, and they all reacted at this moment, knowing that it was Lin Yan who helped them solve the tax matter, and they knelt down one after another.
"Meet Eun Gong!"
"Engong, please accept our worship!"
"Meet Eun Gong!"
With a wave of his right hand, Lin Yan directly held up all the villagers with a burst of true qi.
They looked at Lin Yan one by one, as if they were looking at an immortal.
The heart is even more respectful.
Lin Yan made his intention clear, and the people of the whole village all stood up one after another, willing to look for herbs for Lin Yan.
Zada's son took advantage of the fact that no one was there and found Lin Yan.
Poof!
He knelt in front of Lin Yan.
"Engong, you can do well, give me some of the treasure medicine, my mother's eyes can only be cured by that treasure medicine, I will kowtow to you."
Zada's son kowtowed desperately.
This scene was seen by Zada, who had rushed in.
He hurriedly stopped his son.
"Don't mess around, Engong has already done such a big thing for our whole village and other villages, we must not embarrass Engong for the sake of Ling A-Niang's eyes."
Zada looked at Lin Yan again.
"Engong, please don't care, I know how important the treasure medicine is to a martial arts cultivator, we don't dare to ask for extravagance, and please don't take it to heart.
"When I go back, I'll teach this kid a good lesson."
Zada dragged his son away with all his might.
The next day.
The villagers picked herbs and helped Lin Yan refine the tentacles that resembled lotus and non-lotus.
Really.
After refining, the tentacles exude an incomparably rich medicinal fragrance.
Just smelling it made Lin Yan feel the true qi and blood in his body surging with excitement.
Lin Yan gave a small bowl to Zada's wife.
The rest was drunk in one gulp, and then cultivated at Zada's home.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
A wave of air surged out and surged into the distance.
Lin Yan's cultivation also successfully came to the eighth level of blood quenching.
And!
Because this time the spiritual treasure medicine is made using the local secret refining method, and it is equipped with a variety of herbs, its medicinal power is extremely strong, even if a small bowl is given to Zada's wife, it is still no worse than the spiritual treasure medicine that Lin Yan swallowed before.
And before that.
Lin Yan's seventh blood quenching has been completed for more than half of it.
Now.
His eighth quenching blood is infinitely close to the ninth.
"It's a good thing!"
Lin Yan was overjoyed.
His eyes were filled with thunder and flames, as well as frost and frost, and the dust floating in the void seemed to be magnified hundreds of times in his eyes, and he could clearly see the details and textures on it.
It can even predict their next trajectory.
Lin Yan's mind moved, and his eyes passed directly through the house, and he clearly saw the scene in the village.
There are also those flies that are flying fast, their movements become extremely slow, and even the way they vibrate their wings is clearly reflected in Lin Yan's eyes.
In Lin Yan's eyes, the movements of flies flying became several times slower than before, and similarly, their flight trajectories were completely expected by Lin Yan.
Even the vibration frequency of the air could not escape Lin Yan's eyes.
Microvision and foresight are already there when they reach the realm of the Great Grandmaster.
It's just more obvious now.
As for the perspective ability, Lin Yan had just obtained.
His gaze kept moving forward, and he could even turn around at will, seeing the corners in the village, as well as all the scenes outside the village, even the scene behind Lin Yan.
All of this.
All of them showed extreme subtle changes in Lin Yan's eyes.
And this is not consciousness.
It's purely what the eye sees.
Lin Yan was very happy in his heart.
He could feel that this should be the effect of this spiritual elixir, but it was not exactly the effect produced this time.
It should be said.
This spiritual elixir opened up a special vision for him.
And those spiritual treasure pills that I had taken before also had the effect of laying the foundation, so that this time the transformation of my vision could be so smooth.
"This should be regarded as a comprehensive effect of microvision, prevision, and perspective combined, hey, wait, there are special effects."
Lin Yan discovered.
He could see different things shining with different brilliance.
It's as if everything between heaven and earth has its own light.
Some of the light is strong.
Some of the light is weak.
Some of the light is pure.
Some of the light is miscellaneous.
The whole world presents a colorful and magical scene.
"I wonder what these lights represent?"
Lin Yan muttered.
He wasn't sure what the lights he saw represented yet, but they certainly had a meaning for their existence, but he didn't understand them yet.
"Maybe that's an eye-opener, right?"
Lin Yan chuckled.
Whether it was or not, he had already regarded this ability of his as a primary heavenly eye.
Didn't bother the Zada family again.
Lin Yan left directly.
When he cast the eye of heaven just now, he had already seen the happy appearance of Zada's family.
Zada's wife also regained her sight because of the small bowl of potion she had taken, and she had beautiful eyes.
This warm little home should have their own happiness.
After leaving.
Lin Yan went straight to the coastal land of the ancient dynasty, where there were many legends about the magic knife Ding Peng, and it was also the place where it was most likely to find the world's first sword Ding Wanli.
When Lin Yan arrived there.
I also met a few martial arts swordsmen who were also looking for Ding Wanli to challenge.
"Hey...... This Ding Wanli doesn't know where to hide, Lao Tzu has been looking for him for more than a month, and there is no trace. β
"It is said that this is the place where Ding Peng used to live in seclusion, and if Ding Wanli was here, most of them would have lived around here, but we have been here for a while, and we haven't seen anyone at all."
"Yes, everyone who should inquire has also been inquired, and no one has seen anything Ding Wanli."
Several martial arts swordsmen with knives sat together and drank stuffy wine.
They are all here to challenge Ding Wanli.
No one is convinced, and his sword skills have not been able to get the title of the first in the world.
They are confident that they can defeat Ding Wanli in one fell swoop and win the title of the first knife in the world.
But......
has been here for a month, and I don't even know what Ding Wanli looks like.
That's embarrassing.
Lin Yan couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he heard this.
This slight laughter made several people not far from him frown, and one of them said in a deep voice: "Little brother, what are you laughing at?" β
Lin Yan waved his hand: "Nothing? It's just remembering a funny thing, and it has nothing to do with a few. β
Bang!
The martial arts swordsman who spoke just now smashed the wine bowl on the table, looked at Lin Yan with some unhappiness, and said in a deep voice: "Little brother is laughing, I'm afraid it's not a few of us, right?" β
He's feeling angry.
Then I heard someone laughing again, and most of them were laughing.
I can't help it.
Lin Yan spread his hands: "Since you have to think so, then I am laughing at a few of you, not only laughing at your self-righteousness, but also laughing at your lack of eyes." β
Wow.
Several martial arts swordsmen all stood up angrily.
"What did you say?"
"Boy, who do you say has no eyes?"
"I see you like this, you should also be a martial arts person, right? In that case, let's show the guy, today, on behalf of your parents and elders, I will teach you a good lesson. β
Lin Yan calmly picked up a chopstick.
"That's all it takes, then you guys go up together, I'll only make one knife, if you can catch it, I apologize to you."
Hear the words.
Several martial arts swordsmen all looked angry.
"Arrogance!"
"Boy, I want to see how powerful your knife is today!"
Lin Yan chuckled and said, "Don't smash the owner's wine shop, let's go to the open space over there, it's spacious." β
After speaking.
Lin Yan had already flown out.
Several martial arts swordsmen picked up their long knives and chased them out.
The shopkeeper of the liquor store frowned and glanced at it.
Shook his head.
"Hey...... Jianghu, why do you like to fight and kill? Isn't it good to live a peaceful life? β
Not far away, a sandy beach.
"Boy, where's your knife?"
Lin Yan raised the chopsticks in his hand: "This is my knife." β
"What? Do you use a chopstick as a knife? β
"Hahaha...... I really laughed off my big teeth, uncle, in this world, there are still people who dare to use a chopstick as a knife, do you really think that the tiger's back dragon head knife in the hands of this uncle is vegetarian? β
"My seven-star moon catching knife can split a boulder with one knife, you kid actually dare to use a chopstick to compare knives with me?"
These people dared to challenge Ding Wanli.
Each one's knife skills are not weak, and the knives in his hands are also good knives.
Lin Yan used a chopstick as a knife and competed with them.
It made them feel underestimated.
The anger that had been pent-up in his heart because he couldn't find Ding Wanli couldn't help but rise even more.
Lin Yan gently waved the chopsticks in his hand: "There are three most basic realms of knife technique. The first realm is to have a knife in your hand and a knife in your heart, which is the current realm of several of you.
"The second realm is that there is no knife in the hand, and there is a knife in the heart, which can be regarded as entering the house.
"The third realm is that there is no knife in the hand and no knife in the heart, and it can be called a master of knife skills.
"Don't you even understand this, don't you think it's ridiculous that you dare to come to challenge Ding Wanli?"
Hearing this, the faces of several swordsmen sank.
"Humph! Fuck your shit! β
"Then you say, you have reached that state again?"
Lin Yan shook his head: "I'm not in these three realms, because the sword momentum I comprehend is no longer something that ordinary people can understand." β
"Hahaha...... Knife position? You kid is really here to be funny, you haven't even reached the realm of sword intent, and you dare to pretend to be a master, you are really looking for death. β
"Boy! Let you see what is called knife intent! β
Call!!
One of the several people didn't want to say any more, and slashed Lin Yan with a knife.
The condensed knife qi gathered together, forming a two-zhang long knife shadow, as if splitting Huashan, with a kind of ingenious knife artistic conception, slashed suddenly.
This knife is already quite domineering.
Lin Yan shook his head.
With a wave of your hand.
A seemingly thin knife qi slashed out from the chopsticks, slashing at the sword shadow that was slashing at the head, instantly cutting the opponent's sword shadow apart, and then continuing to sweep away with an unrivaled might.
"What?!"
The martial arts swordsman who took out the knife stared.
and several martial arts swordsmen next to them also showed a look of consternation.
Several people hurriedly pulled out the treasure knife in their hands, and slashed out one after another knife qi, wanting to stop Lin Yan from slashing out the sword qi coming to their bodies.
But!
The sword qi they slashed out would be wiped out in an instant when they touched Lin Yan's sword qi, and they couldn't stop Lin Yan's sword qi at all.
Several people hurriedly flashed to the side.
Bang!
The sword qi slashed at the place where they were before, and the sand and energy that exploded and the aftermath of the momentum lifted several people into the air and smashed them into the distance.
At the same time, the aftermath of that sword qi shocked several people.
The few swordsmen lying on the sand all looked at Lin Yan with shocked faces.
They simply couldn't believe it.
The other party defeated several of them with such an understatement.
To know.
Several of them have the cultivation of a great grandmaster, and they have been impregnated with sword skills for decades, and each of them has been in the realm of sword perfection.
But now, how many people join forces, but they can't stop each other's casual stabs?
"You...... Are you Ding Wanli? β
One of the martial arts swordsmen couldn't help but guess.
Lin Yan shook his head: "I'm not Ding Wanli, but you can't even catch my knife, just think about it, can you catch Ding Wanli's magic knife?" β
Several of the swordsmen were silent.
Lin Yan said again: "Okay, let's go home, don't challenge Ding Wanli, you are still far from his realm." β
Several people got up and arched their hands at Lin Yan.
"Thank you brother for your advice, I'm waiting to leave."
Lin Yan didn't embarrass them, and reminded: "Don't forget to pay for the wine." β
Several people returned to the liquor store, paid for the drink, and then left.
There is no face left at all.
Lin Yan also returned to the wine shop where he had just drunk, and smiled at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, there are no customers in the store now, why don't you come and sit down and have a few drinks with me, how about it?" β
The shopkeeper smiled: "Guest officer, I'm a small businessman, but I'm reluctant to drink these good wines." β
Lin Yan smiled: "I'm in for a treat." β
said.
He had laid a mina of ten taels of silver on the table.
The shopkeeper smiled: "Guest officer, this is not appropriate, right?" β
Lin Yan said: "There's nothing inappropriate, I just want to chat with the shopkeeper." Sitting, shopkeeper. β
The shopkeeper couldn't get rid of it, wiped his hands on his apron, sat down opposite Lin Yan, and said with a smile: "Then you can't let the guest officer treat you in vain, so let's make a plate of peanuts and a plate of sauce and meat for wine." β
Lin Yan chuckled and nodded: "It's better this way." β
The two drank three bowls of wine against each other.
Lin Yan said: "Now, there is wine and stories, is the shopkeeper interested in hearing it?" β
The shopkeeper smiled: "Listen to me." β
Lin Yan said: "Two hundred years ago, the Xuan Realm opened, and three people from other lands who claimed to be 'gods' appeared, they had strange abilities, they cut off their heads without dying, and they did not die when they dug their hearts, they slaughtered the people, fed on blood, and caused endless killing.
"When the Xuan Realm was closed, two of them returned to the Xuan Realm, and the other was besieged and killed by the heroes, but I didn't expect that two hundred years later, the foreign man who should have been killed reappeared in the world, slaughtered the people of a city, and sucked their blood.
"Now, where the news has spread, people are already panicking."
