Jiang Yu settled everything and rushed to the Heavenly Rift Valley against the wind. Intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang Yu, who was in the air, saw the difference below. The villages around Muyun City are neat and vibrant. After leaving Muyun City's sphere of influence, the situation is very different, it is almost impossible to see the complete village below, even at high altitude, you can see the groups of refugees below.

Jiang Yu, a person who has been rolling in blood and fire for an unknown number of times, saw this scene, and his heart was also moved.

"It's a nice view. Tengwu made such an inopportune sigh, this way flying, Jiang Yu pinned it to his waist, this is Tengwu's own request, I want to see the scenery along the way.

Hearing Teng Wu's words, Jiang Yu didn't know what to say, and galloped all the way. Jiang Yu estimated that the Heavenly Rift Valley was about to arrive, that is to say, the place where the Great Yan Kingdom was fortified was approaching, and there was no need for him to break into it by mistake. Therefore, Jiang Yu fell directly. There was a large wilderness in front of me, and the grass around it was almost waist-high, and there was a lot of rubble in the grass, which also indicated that it might have been a village, or a town, but it no longer existed.

Jiang Yu was about to leave here on foot, approaching the Heavenly Rift Valley, and when he took a closer look at the situation over there, he noticed that the grass not far in front of him was moving. Jiang Yu frowned, and said sharply: "What person?

Jiang Yu said it twice, and saw a white-bearded old man crawling up from the grass, and saw that the old man was dressed in tatters, and there were blood stains on his hands and face, which were obviously cut by thorns. Look at the heavy dirt on his clothes and face, as if he had been rolling in the grass for a long time.

"Uncle spare his life!" After the old man saw Jiang Yu carrying a sword on his back, he kowtowed. Jiang Yu was still on guard at first, but later found that the old man was an uncultivated person, Jiang Yu walked up to him and helped him up. The old man was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Yu helping him up. trembling, they dare not move"

Jiang Yu saw that he was afraid, so he comforted: "Uncle, you don't have to be afraid, I'm just a passerby, what are you doing in the grass alone?" When Jiang Yu spoke, he looked at the old man and saw that the old man was carrying a basket behind him. Jiang Yu felt curious, walked behind the old man, took a look, and found that the basket was full of grassroots. It's as if the old man came here to dig grass roots. Jiang Yu is not without poverty, of course, he knows that digging grass roots is to eat.

"Uncle, I just came out to find something to eat, I didn't want to do anything else, uncle, just let the little old man go." As he spoke, the old man knelt down again. Jiang Yu hurriedly helped him. said: "Uncle, I said it, I'm just a passerby." Jiang Yu thought of this, and said: "I'm not from the Great Yan Country, nor am I from the Shenwu Sect, I'm just a businessman, and I bring a sword, just for self-defense." You don't have to be afraid of me. ”

"Oh......" The old man looked at Jiang Yu from one glance to the next, looked at Jiang Yu, and felt at ease for a long time.

Jiang Yu looked at the south and asked, "Uncle, are you a local?" the old man nodded. Jiang Yu asked again, "Is the Heavenly Rift Valley to the south?"

"Yes......" The old man nodded, he looked at Jiang Yu and found that Jiang Yu had no malicious intentions, so he kindly reminded: "But you can't go over there now." ”

"Oh, why?" Jiang Yu wondered.

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that there is going to be a war over there, and a lot of people are gathered over there. ”

When Jiang Yu heard this, he smiled and said, "What does it matter to me that they fight their battles, I am just doing business." ”

The old man shook his head and said: "The dogs of the Great Yan Kingdom are ruthless, if you are a passing business traveler, it is strange if they don't slaughter you hard, if you are not careful, you will lose your life." ”

"Oh......" Jiang Yu scratched his head and asked again: "Then old man, do you think it is better to be from the Great Yan Kingdom, or to the people from the Five Aggregates of the Three Kings Courtyard?"

When the old man heard such a question, he sighed deeply and said: "It's not a good thing, I only know how to bully us, who makes us just the lowest people, no matter who becomes the emperor, it is us ......who are unlucky."

When the old man spoke, Jiang Yu was also speechless. As he spoke, he heard a rumbling sound in the old man's stomach, and the old man looked at Jiang Yu and said, "This uncle, the people in the family are still waiting for me to go back, I ......"

When Jiang Yu heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, uncle, where is your home, I'll send you back." ”

Seeing that Jiang Yu was quite kind, the old man pointed to the east, and it was over there.

Jiang Yu followed the old man and walked all the way to the east. While walking, the old man and Jiang Yu talked about the changes over the years. Originally, the old man was still a wealthy family, but he was later persecuted by the people of the Five Aggregate Dao and his family property was confiscated, but even so, he was still alive. Later, after the success of the Ten Stars, the Great Yan Kingdom was established, and the exploitation was even worse, because he could not afford to pay the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the old man's son and daughter-in-law were arrested, and the house was also burned. The old man only slept in the wild with his wife and a few years old grandson.

Just listening, Jiang Yu already felt very sad, and when he really arrived at the old man's house, Jiang Yu felt even more shocked. The old man's so-called home was actually a small shed built by the woods, and only one or two people could live in that small shed. If the wind is stronger, it is estimated that it will be blown away. There are many sheds like this here, and when you look at them densely, you can't count them at all. When he came here, Jiang Yu estimated that from the time he found the old man here, there were more than ten miles in total, and people like Jiang Yu were just a gust of wind in more than ten miles, and the old man's words, with his physical strength, more than ten miles should be very hard. And the reason why he ran so far to dig up grass roots was because the soil along the way was almost all turned over. Even the grass is gone.

If he hadn't seen the scenes in front of him, Jiang Yu would never have imagined it. And at this moment, he also understood what the so-called ideals of Shen Xi and Yuan Ping were.

"Maybe Brother Yuan has seen similar things, much more than me. Jiang Yu sighed.

"Are the grass roots delicious, why do these people eat grass roots? Don't you eat anything else?" Teng Wu asked puzzled.

"Shut up, you know what. When Jade heard the words of the mist, she came out and scolded.

Tengwu said: "I just don't understand, that's why I came out to ask, what you told me before, how good is it on land, but now I look at it, it seems to be harder than living in the sea." Not fun......"

When Yuer heard this, he wanted to refute a few more words, Jiang Yu said, "Forget it, don't quarrel." Jiang Yu understood, Tengwu didn't understand, and it was no wonder that he said such a thing.

"Wife, a guest is here. When the old man returned home, he greeted him, and saw an old woman lying in the shed, sat up, looked at Jiang Yu, and only smiled slightly, but did not speak. The old man gave the grass roots he had gathered to his wife, and the old woman put them in a broken pot and boiled them on the fire. Soon, the water boiled, and the old woman brought a few pottery bowls, poured two bowls, and gave them to Jiang Yu and the old man.

Jiang Yu looked at the bowl of soup cooked by the grassroots, which was slightly green, and the roots were fluttering, even if it was the soup, it was still a little thin. Jiang Yu just took a sip, and immediately felt a bitter taste that spread from his throat to his whole body, he had never drunk such an unpleasant thing, even at the very end of the year, he had never eaten such an unpalatable thing. But Jiang Yu was heartbroken, and drank all the bowl of soup, and after drinking it, Jiang Yu felt a lot more energetic. Naturally, it's not because of the soup.

Seeing that Jiang Yu drank it in one breath, the old man looked at his wife, the old woman's face was worried, obviously there was not so much soup, Jiang Yu saw the embarrassment, and said, "I'm not hungry, I don't need to." ”

Jiang Yu looked around and said to the old man: "Uncle, you have been living here, I am afraid that there is no future at all, so you have not thought of any other way out?"

When the old man heard this, he sighed and said, "The way out, what can be the way out, we are all old, and we will only die in the end." If it weren't for the fact that I still have a grandson, we two old bones would not want to live a long time ago. ”

When Jiang Yu heard this, he was silent. The old man thought for a moment and said, "Younger people, many people have gone to the north, I heard that far away in the north, there is a Muyun City, where the city lord is very enlightened, and if you go there, you will have a way to live." If we weren't too old, we'd have gone over there. ”

Hearing such praise, Jiang Yu really couldn't be happy in his heart. Just when Jiang Yu was chatting with the old man. And I saw four or five men at the door. They all carried wooden sticks in their hands. It looks like he has yellow muscles and thin muscles, but he looks quite vicious.

"Hey, old man Zhang, you haven't paid today's rent yet!" said one of the leaders.

"Rent?" Hearing these two words, Jiang Yu felt strange, and said in his heart that this old man has come to this point, how can there be such a thing as rent. Jiang Yu stood up directly, walked over, and looked at the group of people: "What rent?"

"Yo, a new face, right? Tell you, this land belongs to the uncle, and if you want to live here, you have to rent it for the uncle. As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Yu's clothes, Jiang Yu was actually wearing very ordinary clothes, which looked similar to the clothes of ordinary civilians, but with Xiao Ruo taking care of them, Jiang Yu's clothes had always been very clean and tidy. When he saw the clothes, the man said: "Your clothes are good, take them off, and you will pay the rent." The man was about to step forward and make a move, Jiang Yu flashed slightly, and the man directly threw himself into the air, and the forward one was crooked on the side, almost falling.

"Damn, dare to hide, brothers copy guys!" The man said, and the others surrounded Jiang Yu.

"He's just a passing caravan, don't embarrass him, I'm ready to rent a son. The old man was already on his knees, holding a tray of grass roots. Jiang Yu was very curious just now, because the old man picked up a lot of grass roots, but when he boiled them, only less than 20%. He originally thought that he was going to keep it for later, but he didn't think that it was actually for this purpose.

Jiang Yu was a little angry, and said in his heart that he had reached this situation, and it was really infuriating that there were still such vulture-like people. And at this moment, I saw that the person in charge kicked over the grass root held by the old man, and then said: "Old man Zhang, you are shameless." It's too late to take it out now. If it weren't for the fact that you used to pay rent and be diligent enough, Uncle would have cooked your little grandson a long time ago. This time, you brought it on yourself!" With a look, he saw two of the people carrying sticks, running towards the small shed, Jiang Yu actually saw it just now, in that small shed, there was a little boy of three or four years old. At this time, Jiang Yu also understood, when he came, he found that there were many strange headless bones along the way, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell what kind of animal it was, but now that he remembered it, it was clearly the bones of the baby after cooking. Jiang Yu's renunciation is angry!

Jiang Yu's body flashed, protected in front of the small shed, and said, "Die!" Jiang Yu said, the aura in his hand flashed, and an aura was like an invisible sword, shuttling among those people, and the sword was thousands, but it was not enough to vent the resentment in Jiang Yu's heart! Several people fell to the ground with a sword, and the person who was the leader was completely eliminated in Jiang Yu's sword light.

Jiang Yu suddenly shot to kill, and the old man and his wife were also stunned, hiding behind a tree, not daring to move.

Jiang Yu's move also attracted the attention of those people around him, and there was a commotion. Jiang Yu shot and killed someone, and when he was about to dispose of the corpse, he saw that the south side was boiling like boiling water, and the entire "small shed town" was in a commotion.

"Hmm......" Jiang Yu knew that although Fang had just made a ruthless move, if it was a move, it was not big, and it was impossible to react so quickly.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yu wondered. I saw the relieved old man over there, as well as his wife, rushing into the small shed, and then reported the child, and said to Jiang Yu: "The people from the Great Yan Country are here, run!"

I saw the whole small shed village, fleeing north in groups. The flow of people was rolling, but Jiang Yu did not escape. He wanted to see what these guys in the Great Yan Kingdom wanted to do and what they could do. When everyone fled, Jiang Yu also saw someone with an axe, on top of the corpses on the ground, chopping an arm and taking it away.

Don't be a troubled person, Jiang Yu has a deep understanding of this sentence.

Not everyone in the small shed village can run away, and many people are hungry and sick and can't move at all. Jiang Yu sat at the entrance of the village, waiting. After waiting for a while, I saw more than a dozen people walking in the distance, wearing the official uniforms of the Great Yan Kingdom, walking all the way to this side.

"It's really unlucky, it's okay to build a Dharma altar and hire some people at will, if we have to go here to arrest people, they are all a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, and they will die in a few days after cultivating, what's the use. ”

"Nonsense, the young ones have already gone to Muyun City, and it's good to have the old ones for you to catch here. Besides, aren't we adults here to save some money, and besides, where are we going to hire people these days?"

"If it comes in vain again today, there will be nowhere to spread the evil fire of Lao Tzu. ”

......

Jiang Yu's ears and eyes were smart, and before those people noticed him, he could already hear what those people said.

"It turned out that I came to arrest people and cultivate the altar. Jiang Yu roughly understood the purpose of these people.

It didn't take long for those people to be in front of them.

"Yo, luckily, there's a young one here. Those people saw Jiang Yu from a distance and said this.

They watched Jiang Yu meditate, came to Jiang Yu's face, and said, "Boy, wake up." ”

As soon as Jiang Yu opened his eyes, those few people were startled when they saw Jiang Yu's appearance and took a few steps back. Because Jiang Yu's murderous aura just now due to murder is enough to breathe people's hearts.

"Boy, where did you come from?" The messenger of the Great Yan Kingdom who came to arrest people asked Jiang Yu a little fearfully. They could all see that Jiang Yu didn't seem to be easy to mess with.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "From the place of the dead!" When Jiang Yu sneered, the sword flashed, these people who came to arrest people are also rough in skills, at most they are in the Lingshui Realm, that is, the level of bullying and bullying the common people. Jiang Yu's sword is never aimed at the weak, but sometimes, it is an exception!

The sword shines, and the corpses are in ambush!

Jiang Yu had a head on hand, and left the person who was the leader, who was already so frightened that he was incontinent, and it couldn't be more appropriate to describe it as a flow of urine in his buttocks.

"I'll ask you, and you'll be honest with me. Jiang Yu asked with a cold brow.

The man nodded frantically and said, "Big ...... Uncle, if you ask, I must say what I know. ”

Jiang Yu calmed himself down a little and asked, "Your Great Yan Kingdom, have you decided to build the last line of defense near the Heavenly Rift Valley to resist the invasion of the Shenwu Sect?"

When the man heard this question, he was a little dazed, and said, "The status of a small person is low, and this kind of big thing is ......."

"Huh?" Jiang Yu frowned, the man panicked, and said, "Actually, I don't know very well, but the above asked us to build a magic altar in the north of the Heavenly Rift Valley." ”

"What does the Dharma Altar do?" Jiang Yu asked.

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, but listening to what they mean, it seems to mean that here in the Heavenly Rift Valley, the monks are not easy to play, and with the assistance of the altar, the monks can maintain their full combat strength. “

"Hmm......" Jiang Yu thought for a while, and said in his heart that most of this statement should be true, because the influence of the Heavenly Rift Valley is also known to him, if the construction of the Dharma Altar can offset this bad situation, then when the Shenwu Sect attacks, the Great Yan Kingdom can indeed gain a great advantage, after all, the other party cannot fight with all his strength, and with the assistance of the Dharma Altar here, it should not be a problem to play at full strength.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and asked again, "Is there only one altar?"

The man thought for a moment and said, "We are only one in charge." Almost fifty miles away, there is another. ”

"Hmm...... Fifty miles ......" Jiang Yu roughly estimated, if it is fifty miles, then there are at least nearly a thousand in the north of the long Heavenly Rift Valley, and if you consider the depth, this kind of altar is afraid that there will be more. Such a huge project is by no means the work of a few days. Thinking of this, he asked, "When did you start cultivating this altar?"

When the man heard this, he said, "When the Great Yan Kingdom was founded, it began to cultivate. ”

"Sure enough, ......" Jiang Yuxin said, it seemed that Da Yanguo had expected such a day for a long time, so he had been planning this matter for a long time.

Jiang Yu asked some other things, and the man finally said: "Uncle, I know it's all said, I'm just a small character, you just let ...... go"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yu's sword flashed, and the man had already fallen in a pool of blood.

"Those who dare to do it must have the consciousness of daring to die!" Jiang Yu put his sword back in his sheath and said in a cold voice.
