The sky was overcast, the distance between the sky and the ground became very close, as if the dark clouds were about to be pressed down at any moment, and in the distance on the sea, you could see a huge wave like a high wall that was constantly pushing and surging in, and slamming on the reef, stirring up a monstrous wave.

Cold air from the north invaded the place three days ago, and then quickly swept away the heat. Therefore, the peasants who were working in the fields had already put on their clothes woven with grass, and were working hard and numb in the fields while trembling, and their eyes would only become expectant and reverent when they looked at the shrine built on the high cliff by the sea, and could not help but whisper a prayer:

"Great hoe god, I hope you will let me finish the work in the field soon, and let us go home. ”

At this time, in front of the shrine on the cliff by the sea, a large number of servants wearing long pointed hats knelt down, and a red-faced man with a wide face strode towards it, his clothes were wide and wide with large sleeves, and the special thing was that half of them were white and half black, symbolizing yin and yang.

The red-faced man strode up to the shrine, knelt down in front of the towering stone archway, and prostrated himself on the ground, pressing his knees, elbows, and forehead down as hard as he could, to show his piety. One step at a time, one by one, a short distance of thirty or forty meters consumes a lot of time.

It wasn't until he walked through the torii that the red-faced man stood up again, walked into the shrine, found a thick rope next to the door, and then pulled hard.

After pulling this rope, I immediately heard the pleasant sound of "jingle bell" over my head, and then the red-faced man began to applaud loudly again, and the monotonous and crisp applause kept echoing in this gloomy and empty shrine, feeling evil!!

Immediately afterwards, the red-faced man knelt down in the doorway again, and then kneeled in. Although the inside of the shrine is quite gloomy, you can also see the general appearance of the statue here, it is a tall and thin strange man with a strange face, making the appearance of raising his hands high!

This is the "god of hoes" enshrined in this shrine, and is considered to be the god of all hoes.

In this country, the number of shrines will definitely not be less than the various ancestral temples in the Central Plains, the point is that the Central Plains of these land ancestral halls, the God of Wealth Temple, the Stove God Shrine and so on are fixed. And in this country, in the shrines where you can enjoy the incense offerings, the gods enshrined can be said to be strange, such as the gods of springs are at least more than thirty, and the gods of stone are even more terrifying, two or three hundred.

It is said that there are as many as 8 million deities, and even a stone in the garden may be worshipped as a deity if it looks special. And more influential. It is the god of horn and the god of punishment, the god of thunder promises, and so on.

The red-faced man then began to kneel on the ground and muttered prayers, his words surprisingly fast. I couldn't hear what was being said, but it was all the more mysterious because of the buzzing sound inside the shrine and the growing sound of the tide outside.

At this time. The voices outside suddenly became loud, and the red-faced man frowned and held back. But instead of disappearing, the noise grew louder. The red-faced man kowtowed deeply, then walked out on his knees, and as soon as he reached the door, he stood up, strode into the chaotic and noisy crowd, and suddenly drew the long knife at his waist.

As soon as the knife was pulled, there was a pungent smell of blood in the air, which fiercely crushed people's sense of smell.

Because after the red-faced man drew his knife, he took advantage of the situation to make a horizontal slash, and when the knife was shining, it was even more splashed with ink and cut the neck of the person who was the most noisy next to him, and this person's head immediately flew out, and even when the head flew out, he was still arguing fiercely with his companions.

At the same time, after the knife had cut off the man's head, it slashed into the back of the other's shoulder, cutting it into two pieces like a stake, and the remainder of the force was like a runaway vehicle, and one arm was cut off with the tip of the knife as if it were a runaway vehicle.

Everywhere the eye touches, there is an ocean of blood-colored world.

The screams and the smell of blood immediately silenced all the noise present, and the man with his severed arm rolled on the ground in pain, and his screams echoed almost wildly in the night sky.

The red-faced man walked up to the man whose arm had been cut off expressionlessly, then raised his long knife high and thrust it downward.

The man screamed, and the remaining palm gripped the blade of the long knife, and the whole person bent up as if it were a shrimp, spurting a large amount of blood from his mouth, twitching violently, and then swallowing his last breath.

The red-faced man poked the long knife to the bottom, then turned the blade a few times, and drew the knife again, and the blade was as smooth as new, and there was no blood splashed on it. At this time, I looked around, and I was full of majesty. The rest of the people fell to the ground, trembling with fear, trembling and not daring to squeak.

This man is as humble as a dog in front of the gods, but he is as brave as a tiger in front of these civilians, which forms a great contrast.

"What's the matter, who dares to blaspheme the canon?"

The red-faced man gritted his teeth and said:

After a long time, an old man stood up and said tremblingly:

"Yes"

Before he could finish his words, he saw the red-faced man let out a hysterical roar, and with a sweep of the sword, he cut the old man to the ground, and blood spurted out violently. The red-faced man cut down four or five more people in a row, and these people didn't even have the heart to resist. The red-faced man roared angrily and cut down four or five people in a row, and then roared angrily:

"You have blasphemed the Codex!!"

At this time, the group of people trembled even more, and they all looked behind the red-faced man in horror, and the red-faced man felt that something was not quite right, and suddenly turned around.

This place was originally built next to the coastline, the terrain is extremely high, this red-faced man suddenly contracted his pupils, it turned out that there was a huge tornado in the distance, as if it was about to connect the sky to the ground.

Suddenly, there was an illusion of a battle around the huge tornado. Lifted high and finally smashed deep into the sea!!

Suddenly, the sea water seemed to be surging violently, and the tides that surged from layer to layer like a high wall were even more intense, as if they were going to swallow the whole earth, and what was even more strange was that after the rod was smashed down, the sea water was as red as blood under this gloomy sky, and it seemed that the whole heaven and earth were filled with this amazing blood. I feel terrible.

This turbulent ocean, at this time, seems to have turned into a sea of blood, and it is even more violent shouting, as if the end of the world is coming.

And the red-faced man immediately froze, standing as if a statue that had existed since ancient times, and even the long knife in his hand quietly slipped to the ground, and he laughed for a long time:

"Red Tide!!It turned out to be the legendary Red Tide!! Red Tide is present, the Central Plains is in turmoil, and the awakening of the eight million gods in the eastern kingdom of China. Is this the right time?"

The bright red waves, the laughing and roaring gods, and the people who prostrate themselves on the ground and don't say a word. The result is a very vivid and profound picture, as if it is permanently frozen in time.

At this time, Ye Du had just fallen for the first time, and when the light of the early morning came, there was white snow outside Lin Fengjin's study. Covered in a petite plum tree, it looks like it has a crystal clear freshness.

The descendants of the Lin family have always been very diligent, and the entire mansion and the snow around the streets have long been swept away. It's just around the "copper stinky zhai" where the young master lives. The housekeeper's Sanniang was instructed, before the young master had enjoyed the snow, he was not allowed to touch half of it, and even the maid who went in to change the night pot and add animal charcoal could only step on the bluestone slab on the road with his feet in the past, and the snow could not be touched at all.

"The young master is awake, hurry up and send water and handkerchief, the paste for brushing the mouth today should be soho-scented, the young master drank wine yesterday, and the eight immortals sobering soup for breakfast today, the mint flavor is slightly heavier, and the young master's fur has to be changed to bear skin when it is cold today, otherwise what should I do if I get cold?

The maid at the head said sternly, and the rest of the people were ordered by Nuno, and when there was a sound inside, they immediately went inside in turn, and all kinds of movements seemed to be orderly and very quick.

Suddenly, seven or eight people who were waiting outside the "Copper Stinky Zhai" bowed neatly and called:

"Sir. ”

The person who walked in was wearing a sauce-colored five-bat robe, but his face was gloomy, which can be said to be very rare, he was born as an old man, and it became instinct to greet customers with a smile, so many businessmen have nicknames such as "smiling tiger". In fact, for them, laughter is just a protective color.

Hearing the rumors from the people, Lin Fengjin hurriedly walked out, his mouth full of foam from the ointment of the mouth, and said vaguely:

"Dad, why is it so early?"

This is the fifth day that Lin Fengjin has returned to Yedu.

After the group rushed back to Yedu day and night, they made sure that the seal of the country had not arrived, and at the same time, Lin Fengjin naturally handed over Xiang Xiong.

This is also thanks to Lin Fengjin's many kinds of elixirs, which are almost at a running price for him, and he finally keeps people from dying. Although Xiang Xiong has always been in a state of high fever and can occasionally be awake for two or three hours a day, the footprints on his back have never shown signs of abating, and they are even more profound.

For Lin Fengjin, of course, it is to save Xiang Xiong's life, otherwise, as long as Xiang Xiong dies, then the big hat of ineffective work will definitely be buckled on his head. As long as Xiang Xiong lives, then he will share the responsibility, and Cheng Dù will naturally be able to minimize the bad influence on Lu Yu's side.

After waiting at home for four days, Lin Fengjin was summoned by Lu Yu once, and at this summons, Lin Fengjin knew that there were still three people who survived after entering the Xiling, needless to say, these three people were all nails that Lu Yu had planted in the fangs, and they also had the return of the mother and son talisman, so it can also be inferred that the status of the three of them in Lu Yu's mind must not be low.

This summons is a very official and ordinary summons, and it is also a celebration banquet.

It turned out that although Lu Yu didn't get the heirloom seal as he wished, when the three members of the poisonous fangs were left behind by Xiang Xiong, they got lost when they fled, and they got another treasure by mistake, the Central Plains Mountains and Rivers Society Map!

Maybe in the eyes of many people, there is something strange about a small map, but in this era. A detailed map is invaluable.

Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin back then, why he was able to get close to the King of Qin's side, relying on two things: Fan Yuzhi's head, and the map of Yan Kingdom.

Fan Yuzhi's head can only prove that Jing Ke is not from the Yan Kingdom, and what can really lure the King of Qin to take the bait to see him is the map of the Yan Kingdom! This shows the value and status of the map.

At this time, when the five countries were in dispute, although the map of the Central Plains Mountains and Rivers Society obtained by Lu Yu was not as famous as the jade seal of the country, in terms of actual significance, it was several times stronger than the jade seal of the country, and it could be regarded as a loss of Dongyu. Harvest the mulberry elm.

At the celebration banquet, Lu Yu said a few words lightly after he appeared, and then left, at this time Lu Yu has quickly become a qualified king, joy and anger are not visible is the most basic standard skill, Lin Feng can not see anything just by observing words and looks.

However, for Lin Fengjin, although things were messed up, he also had his own self-confidence. Maybe there are a lot of talents in Lu Yu's pocket, and there will be no shortage of fierce generals who charge into battle, and peerless masters who take people's heads, but. His talent in overall planning in logistics, but Lin Fengjin is confident that few people can match, this is not only a matter of talent, but more because Lin Fengjin has more experience and insight in his previous life.

Lu Yu is proficient in the art of war. That's why he clearly realized the importance of a "green leaf" type general like himself, and Lin Feng asked himself that he hadn't made any mistakes at all in the Xiling Tomb - more importantly. His target Qingmei Sniff doesn't seem to have been reached-this is to prevent outsiders from saying bad things about his private affairs.

This kind of factors add up, so Lin Feng is very calm, and he does not refuse to come at the celebration banquet, which can be said to be quite happy, and finally he was carried back last night

In other words, Lin Fengjin was calm and very calm, but his old man couldn't calm down, after all, although Old Man Lin traveled south and north and was well-informed, he lacked the experience of direct dialogue with the king. In his opinion, Lu Yu put Lin Fengjin aside, which fully explained his dissatisfaction, and now treating the survivors of the poisonous fangs capital as Lin Fengjin equally, it shows that Lin Fengjin's status in Lu Yu's heart has begun to decline significantly!

In such a situation, it is natural for the forester to come to look for Lin Fengjin so early, and in the face of Lin Fengjin's inquiry, the forester frowned, and sighed:

"Son, it was my father who hurt you, there is a way to accompany the king like a tiger, at that time, my father should not be greedy for wealth and wealth to let you develop in Yedu, so that now our family has no way out, Nan Zheng can't go now, not to mention Zhongtang, hate you to the bone, Xirong's poor countryside went to estimate that the bones will leave that place, not to mention Dongxia, you only fought with others last year. Hey, the world is so big, there is no way for my Lin family to live!"

Lin Feng listened to the old man's more pessimistic words, and couldn't help but wonder:

"What are you talking about, old man, as if I have committed some heinous crime, isn't it just that the errand assigned by the above has not been done? Don't say that it is such a major event to seize the seal, even if it is our family's annual business, not every shop is sure to make a profit, right, the shopkeeper who lost money, are we going to send other people's expenses to the official by the way? As long as you do your best to do it, which one is not a good appeasement, plus send money and rice?"

The forester pondered for a while, and felt as if this was the truth, but then he came back to his senses, slapped it and said angrily:

"What nonsense is the little rabbit talking again, can we do business and govern the country in the same way?"

Lin Fengjin rolled his eyes and said:

"Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, who sues you for doing business and governing the country is not a reason?"

Lin Yuanwai also sighed for a long time at this time, very worried, it seemed that there was a lot more gray hair, but at this time, someone outside suddenly spread the word, saying that it was the squire of the criminal department who came to visit Ju, Lin Fengjin heard the news, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and he said secretly:

"It's finally here. ”

This Xiang Lie, Xiang Ju, Xiang Xiong was originally the third brother, in private, Xiang Xiong only left half a life to return, Lin Fengjin, as his top boss, should give Xiang Ju an explanation anyway, Yu Gong said, Xiang Ju is the left servant of the Criminal Department, and he also has enough rights and qualifications to inquire about this matter.

It is said that since Xiang Ju took office, he has been very satisfied with Lu Yu, and has cleared up the backlog of cases and unjust cases in the Criminal Department over the years, and has even rectified the unjust prisons and cleaned up 13 unjust cases and wrongful cases.

This time, when Lin Fengjin heard that he was coming to Ju, he suddenly felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, because Lu Yu's attitude could be seen from who he sent. If he wanted to act impartially, then the person he sent should maintain a neutral position, and he was not involved in this seizure of the seal at all. If it is inclined to Lin Fengjin, the old man of Zuo's sister should be asked to interrogate, and send Xiang Ju to come, which is to show that he wants to favor Xiang Xiong.

But in any case, Lin Fengjin is a minister, Lu Yu is a king, and he can only say to his subordinates at the moment:

"Please. ”

Then Lin Fengjin changed his clothes and went to the living room to talk to Xiang Ju.

At this time, Xiang Ju is no longer a general reckless, but a dignified servant of the criminal department, this time he came and wore court clothes, he naturally looked very solemn and majestic, full of official authority, and there were four tall and burly poor people on both sides standing next to him with straight faces, and the atmosphere was not right at first glance.

Fortunately, who is Lin Fengjin? He is as treacherous as a loach, and after hearing that his family said that Xiang Ju came in formal clothes this time, and brought his entourage, he knew that those who came were not good, and the good ones did not come, and he came out only when he was fully prepared. As a result, he found that this was the case, and as soon as he saw Lin Fengjin with a smile on his face, Xiang Ju immediately stood up with a frosty face and said:

"There is an oracle in the saint, and Lin Feng respectfully accepts the order!"

This order must be to bow down, if you bow down to Xiang Ju as soon as you look at it, then the momentum will be taken away, and then needless to say, you will be led by the nose.

Therefore, after Lin Fengjin listened to Xiang Ju's words, he also said with a straight face:

"I've been an official for half a year, don't you know what this official is wearing now?"

To tell the truth, Xiang Ju was angry, his own brother was almost half-disabled, in this way, no matter who he was, he was not in much better mood, so he really didn't pay attention to Lin Fengjin when he came in, and when he looked at it carefully, he immediately frowned.

It turned out that Lin Fengjin was wearing a very unique gown, which was called a martial arts gown at that time, and it was a very graceful expression, similar to the yellow coat of the Qing Dynasty, and even more authoritarian.

There are three kinds of martial arts gowns, the difference is that the beasts embroidered on them are the most noble with dragon patterns, followed by the unicorn, and the tiger is the worst.

Lin Fengjin was wearing a dragon-patterned martial arts gown, which represented the majesty of the king. Similarly, if Xiang Ju directly kowtowed to Lin Fengjin at this time, and took the lead, it would be even more difficult to carry out his own questioning.

Therefore, Xiang Juyi gritted his teeth and said loudly:

"Do you dare to disrespect the Holy Lord's commandment?"

Lin Fengjin came prepared, and said slowly:

"The martial arts gown on my son's body was given by the ancestors, and he kept taking out the holy oracle to oppress people, is it because he doesn't even want filial piety?

At that time, when Lin Fengjin took this martial arts gown, it was after returning from the battle in Yaocheng, although Lin Fengjin resigned the reward to Lu Yu, but for things like martial arts gowns, Lu Yu still asked Lin Fengjin if he wanted it. Lin Fengjin didn't want it, but he had to admit that Lin Yuanwai was a vain person, and the old man's beard was glaring, so Lin Fengjin reluctantly took it. (To be continued......)
