"Immortal Master, I'll recruit, I'll recruit everything!

Our family is indeed in contact with Lianli, but this is not what we want, but we are forced to be helpless!

It all started 20 years ago, when my second brother was rescued by a pirate lair in an unexpected storm......"

The head of the Ling family didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said.

Li Zhen frowned when he heard this.

Pirates can even save people?

This sounds incredible at first glance, but it is not surprising that people who beg for a life on the sea, whether black or white, good or evil, can easily catch a handful in this situation.

It is true that many of those pirates have lost their conscience, but it would be a mistake to think that those people are uncommunicable and unreasonable, with a black-and-white philosophy.

This kind of mentality is not good for understanding pirates and killing them.

Sure enough, what the head of the Ling family said quickly confirmed his guess.

"After Lian Li knew that my second brother was born, instead of embarrassing him, he was treated with good wine and meat, and sent him back.

It was only later that we learned that before Lian Li had the opportunity to cultivate, he had been blessed by my family and lived his life by giving porridge from Guangji.

Because of this relationship, they came and went, and gradually formed a friendship.

But then...... Later, Na Lianli began to ask us to sell stolen goods to him, make money, and take care of some land-based purchased industries!

After that, he even forced us to provide intelligence information on land, and after the fact, he was treated harshly, and we repeatedly borrowed money, but we could not satisfy his appetite. ”

Li Zhen said: "This is impossible, you two are embarrassed, Lian Li is doing his businessless business in the sea, you are reselling goods on land, and it is true that you are full of money." ”

The eyes of the head of the Ling family widened, and he hurriedly said: "Immortal Master Mingjian, that Lian Li was deeply appreciated by the ten masters of the Blood Shark at that time because of his rich offering, and he gained a lot of benefits, which is also the basis for him to be qualified to participate in the promotion ceremony held by the Blood Shark King and break through, these capitals are all squeezed out of our Ling family, otherwise relying on their gang of grass-headed bandits, even if they loot everywhere, how much can they rob?"

Moreover, in recent years, he has been promoted to build a foundation, and he has become even worse, almost treating us as slaves, and we are really miserable!"

Li Zhen sneered secretly when he heard this: "Lian Li handed over the land industry to you to take care of, and was repeatedly born and died, killing people and seizing treasures, although it is said that it is a businessless business, but every talisman is with a bloody conscience, and in the end, most of it is still occupied by you, and you still dare to complain?"

It is no wonder that it is said that the strong and the powerful are hateful, and the so-called hard workers rule people, and those who work hard govern others, and what is the difference between robbing others by capital and wisdom and relying on violence? How can they be coerced by force, as if they have been greatly wronged?

The face of the head of the Ling family changed greatly, and he argued: "This immortal master, you can't say that, there is a black market to sell stolen goods in the entire Beihai land, and these livelihoods are also recognized by everyone, even if the owner of the goods is often redeemed from there, he can still bargain with the price!"

Li Zhen was speechless when he heard this, this can no longer be described as a simple "environment", and the plague of pirates is already a kind of "ecology".

"Don't talk nonsense, although Lian Li is not a good person, he is righteous enough for your family, and he is still thinking about swallowing his property, but what Lian Li has obtained is also ill-gotten gains, it is better to use it to improve the livelihood of the people in the country, benefit the people, and even recruit sailors to sweep away the bandits. ”

Li Zhen thought about it carefully, and also thought about swallowing these Lian Li's hidden properties.

But thinking about those that have been replaced by fixed assets, it is really difficult to take care of, and even Li's new foundation has not had time to do any big cases and rob enough wealth.

It is better to take it from the people, use it for the people, and effectively improve the domestic environment of Zhubu.

This is actually his idea, these places can cultivate some spice industry, as well as the incense market!

His own brothers and sisters have taken root here, and over time, they may be able to spread out and quietly replace the princes and nobles of the entire Zhubu Kingdom, and this kind of early investment is very worthwhile.

Even after Li's death, it is conservatively estimated that this area can be peaceful for several years to more than ten years.

This period of time is not long for a monk, but for mortals, it is enough for a three-foot child to grow up, who knows how many incense path genius seeds and talented people will be in it?

Like Xin Dayuan, there are not too many, as long as there are three or five that are discovered, it is far more than three or five magic weapons.

Li Zhen will not be like these people, only the talisman money that can be seen and touched in his eyes.

"Improving people's livelihood and benefiting the people......"

The head of the Ling family looked strange when he heard this, thinking that he was hallucinating.

But who called someone an immortal master, he hurriedly said: "Okay, good, as long as the immortal master is willing to let our Ling family go, everything is easy to say." ”

Li Zhen showed a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, as long as the Ling family is willing to turn back, they will definitely not blame the past." ”

The head of the Ling family showed a look of happiness on his face, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Immortal Master! Thank you Immortal Master, I will tell you the location of Lianli's industry and the mansion he purchased......

Soon after, Li Zhen, who had been informed in detail, left, and the head of the Ling family suddenly turned pale and his body was no longer shaking, and he got up and pressed a mechanism somewhere on the wall of the room.

Silently, a strange aura enveloped the entire house, and it was immediately protected by a secret prohibition.

After a few breaths, the wall flips and a dark tunnel appears.

A late-stage Qi refining cultivator wearing a Xuanqing Dao robe with sharp eyes walked out of it.

"I was afraid that he would hurt you, so I didn't make a move. ”

The head of the Ling family waved his hand: "Second brother, it's okay, I understand, I just want to know, what is that person's cultivation strength, can he deal with it?"

This late-stage Qi refining cultivator turned out to be the brother of the head of the Ling family, Ling Jinfeng.

He lied to Li Zhen, and the Ling family spent their own resources and did their best to cultivate a qualified monk.

Ling Jinfeng also joined the Blood Shark Thief, and was born and died with Lian Li, forming a deep friendship.

This is the foundation that their Ling family really relies on for ZTE.

Ling Jinfeng pondered for a long time: "I can't see it for a while, but there are enough three people in the garden you said to retire there, and I will rush over to meet them as soon as possible, and if I join forces, I will definitely be able to capture and kill that person." ”

When the head of the Ling family heard this, his face showed hatred: "The person who hides his head and tail, if he can catch it, he will definitely be stripped off!"

Ling Jinfeng didn't say anything, just said, "Before I come back, you stay here and don't run around." ”

......

It is more than 100 miles away from the capital of King Zhubu in the port city.

The drizzle was dashing, and the water was scattered, like a mist of smoke clouds on the ground.

In the haze, Li Zhen's figure was fluctuating, like a ghost wandering in the night.

At this time, it was dusk, the sky and the earth were dark, and the pedestrians on the road had already gone back to their houses to avoid the rain, and the spacious street was empty, which seemed particularly lonely.

"This should be it. ”

After traveling for a long time, Li Zhen found a mansion on the east side of the city, which covers a large area.

This is a huge antique building complex, the wooden door on the front is made of iron and wood, wide enough to a full foot, thick copper nails are simple and heavy, and there is a huge wooden plaque with gold edges hanging high on the door, on which are three upright big characters.

"Gui'an Park ......"

After smacking silently, Li Zhen smiled suddenly.

"It's a beautiful thought. ”

He stepped forward slowly, performed a wall-piercing technique, and broke in.

Behind the door was a large courtyard, where three monks were waiting, each standing with a sword standing upright, a double barbed bar, and a flying sword floating.

These are all pirates who quit the original team after Lian Li successfully built the foundation, and they all became rich and powerful.

The Ling family took them as an offering, secretly gathered momentum, and their strength skyrocketed, and it was more than enough to replace the Zhubu royal clan.

It's a pity that those foreign offerings are all contracts signed with the royal family, and it is difficult for them to use them at all.

However, the Ling family doesn't care about those, as long as they look for opportunities, continue to eradicate dissidents, and support cronies, over time, they will definitely be able to achieve great things.

Even Lian Li's death in battle was actually beneficial to them, because the subversion of Zhubu Country did not require the use of forces to build the grassroots, and the existence of Lian Li was not beneficial, but some anti-guest-oriented, hindering their hands.

It's just that they never expected that there would be a master secretly hiding in and forcing the head of the Ling family to confess honestly.

The head of the Ling family didn't dare to bet that the other party didn't know anything about it, and honestly revealed some information.

But there is something wrong with the information, and the key points are all false, in order to get out of it temporarily, and then gather these worshippers to come here and kill the strong enemy.

Behind Li Zhen, a figure flew like a big bird, stepping on the snow and landing on the top of the wall on the door without a trace.

Ling Jinfeng clasped his hands in front of him and looked indifferently at Li Zhen, who was surrounded by him.

"Who is Your Excellency sacred, why do you want to embarrass my Ling family? If you are offended when you walk the rivers and lakes, please make it clear, but it is really not the work of heroes to come to the door like this and disturb people's seclusion. ”

"You're all pirates, or rather, you've been pirates. ”

Li Zhen didn't even look at him at all, just asked himself.

"So what?" asked the monk with the sword in his hand.

"I see that your breath is calm, obviously you have really retired, but it is a pity that the sins of the past are so heavy that they can no longer be washed away, and those unjust souls who once died because of you are still haunted today, and they have not been exceeded because of your self-cultivation. ”

Li Zhen turned his head to look around and sighed softly.

"It's a pity, you should have been able to enjoy your old age in peace, and when your children grow up, you will be completely whitewashed, but it's a pity that you met me. ”

When the four of them heard this, their eyes all changed.

"Less nonsense, what the hell are you doing here?"

Li Zhen said: "I am your robbery, what do you say you want to do?"

As he spoke, the wind came from behind, and Ling Jinfeng was already secretly brewing an attack while he was sighing, and he was the first to strike.

These people are well versed in the principle of striking first, even if they fight one out of four, they don't dare to be careless in the face of a strange monk like Li Zhen who doesn't know the depths.

However, this was of no use, and the flying sword magic weapon he had sacrificed flew straight by, like a phantom stabbed through it.

Li Zhen didn't look back, a stream of mana turned into a gangfeng, and appeared out of thin air under the tentacle-like divine slash, slashing at the three people in front of him, and the huge force swept away, directly cutting them all off.

Two of them stared wide-eyed and fell in a pool of blood, only the person who wielded the flying sword turned into flowing water, and temporarily avoided the tragic situation of body separation.

However, Jian Feng took away a large splash of water, and after he landed, it turned into blood, instantly staining the ground red, and his face was as white as frost and snow, and he was completely colorless in an instant.

Suddenly!

An arrow of ice crystals shot out of nowhere and landed at his feet.

The man was startled, and retreated again and again to dodge, but more arrows fell like rain, and his hands, shoulders, chest, lungs, and thighs continued to be hit, and in the blink of an eye, he was shot into a hedgehog and nailed to the ground.

Ling Jinfeng was taken aback: "There are still masters hiding nearby!"

Li Zhen turned his head, seemed to smile, and looked at the other party.

Ling Jinfeng's scalp was numb, and at this moment, he finally felt a little bit of the qi emanating from Li Zhen's body, which was a vastness and depth that was far beyond the realm of qi refining.

"You ......"

Before he could say anything, another wave of ice arrows shot at his body.

This Ling Jinfeng didn't have time to react at all, but fortunately, the magic robes and treasures on his body were reliable, and he automatically emitted his vitality to resist these arrows.

Ice chips splashed all over the sky, and the chill was pervasive, but he never felt the attacker's qi.

Ling Jinfeng suddenly realized something, and the expression on his face became even more frightened.

"You-"

The voice stopped abruptly, because Li Zhen's mana turned into a sword, completely penetrating his Gang Yuan and stabbing into the vital point.

Poof!

Ling Jinfeng fell heavily to the ground and fell into near-death.

Li Zhen stepped forward slowly, condescendingly, and looked at him silently.

"You ...... It's all ...... It's all about building the foundation......"

Ling Jinfeng smiled miserably and said something unfinished.

Soon, there was no more life.

"Husband, are they all dead?"

The sound as thin as a gossamer came along the fluctuations of divine consciousness, which was what Mu Qingsi said who was hidden on the side.

Li Zhen said: "It's dead." ”

"Okay, I'll keep watching over here, you go in and see if there's any other threat inside?"

"Good. Li Zhen stepped in, and at the same time released his divine sense to look around.

Soon after, he went to several separate courtyards, each with a woman and a child hidden deep inside, and took refuge in a simple magic circle.

"I didn't expect that these pirates had already started a family. ”

Li Zhen sighed deeply, slightly regretful.

Mu Qingsi said, "Husband, do you sympathize with these women and children?"

Li Zhen did not answer, but sighed slightly in his heart.

The white lotus also grows in the mud, and it comes out of the mud without staining, and it also has original sin.

But how can the things of the world be counted like this?

In this way, no one is good.

Perhaps that's why sometimes the wicked get away with it and the good suffer.

Because the human heart is reflected in the good and evil, and the heaven and earth are not divided.

In the end, Li Zhen slowly retreated.

"Forget it, out of sight is clean, the problem here gives Senior Brother Zhou a headache. ”

The gentleman does not eat meat, but cooks from afar.
