Qingyang Prefecture, Yaori Mountain, Zhenfu Division.

In the main hall on the top of the mountain, the calming envoy sat on the cloud couch and looked at the true shape of the five mountains in front of him.

The nineteen prefectures of Qingyang, the rest of the places are just a general glance, and the focus is still on Chentang County - as a divine body, it is still the first divine body left in Qingyang Prefecture in more than 500 years, and the pacification envoy must of course pay attention to it.

Observing through the true shape map of Wuyue, he saw that the entire county was as calm as water, with only a little ripple, and he pinched his fingers slightly, and immediately noticed when Chentang County had happened.

"When you first arrive in the county, the first thing you do is focus on controlling the floods in a county?"

The appeasement envoy was a little puzzled.

You must know that in this world, there are demons and monsters, and it is normal for big demons to make trouble.

And the Dayan Imperial Court's management of floods has almost become a daily routine, if ordinary people do this, the pacification envoy can still understand, but as a god, and in the test of thousands of households, he has such an outstanding performance, and now he is acting so ordinary, which is really a bit abnormal.

What's more, others don't know, but he understands it very well - the reason why the divine body is so valued is not only because of the strong fighting ability of the divine body, but also because of other reasons.

Luck!

"The divine body originally descended in response to the mandate of heaven, whether it was born in a martial saint family or reckless, it was inevitable to fight and fight, this is a matter of luck...... The martial arts are sailing against the current, and the amount of luck determines the future of the protagonist of this side of the world to compete, if you don't fight, how can it be a god?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of something, so he wiped his palm on the true shape map of Wuyue, and at present, over the terrain of each county in Qingyang Prefecture, clusters of light appeared, differentiating five colors, and so on.

Some of the counties were white and peaceful, some were yellow and thriving, while others were gray—either in decay or in a dead silence.

The focus of the pacification envoy is naturally Chentang County.

But I saw that the sky above Chentang County was also a white light, which looked warm and peaceful, but when the soothing envoy wiped his palm again, the white light was dispelled, revealing the situation inside-

A black cloud of calamity lingered throughout Chentang County, and it gathered more and more, and there was a blood-red aura at the core, and a strong killing aura was about to come out, as if it was brewing.

Seeing this, the pacification envoy was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "This is the correct way to open the divine body!"

Look, as soon as he flicked his sleeves, he took away the true shape of the five mountains, and he was about to close his eyes and meditate, but after thinking about it carefully, he still knocked on the golden bell hanging under the eaves of the main hall.

"Knock~"

The bell rang out, and within a moment, a lieutenant walked in and saluted, "What do you command?"

"Pass on my edict to inform Geng Wenguang, a thousand households in Songping County, pay close attention to the situation in Chentang County, and if necessary, help Gu Chang'an. ”

The pacification envoy said softly.

"Yes!" the lieutenant responded, and then saw that the envoy closed his eyes and said nothing, so he saluted and slowly retreated.

A moment later, a golden talisman rose from Mt. Yaori, and after recognizing the direction in mid-air, it suddenly burrowed into the clouds and headed towards Matsudaira County, and disappeared in an instant.

......

Chentang County, Yanbo County.

The rain died down and the sun was shining.

However, there are still traces of water and puddles on the ground, and the sunlight reflects on it, and from a distance, it looks like the scales of a fish, with a strange light.

A group of farmers walked on the ground, and the road was soaked with water, and they could step on a pit when they stepped down.

Because of the flood in the whole Yanbo County, most of the houses in the county collapsed, and even the roads were mostly destroyed.

Cash-for-work!

They were given a ration of food and money every day, and then the county government organized a hurry for the people to rebuild their houses and build damaged roads.

At present, this group of farmers, under the organization of the county government, is building official roads - the sand and gravel have been pulled by ox carts, but the people have not yet arrived.

But it didn't take long to wait, and after a few moments, groups of farmers came in droves.

Because of the large number of people, the roads have become more muddy.

Hundreds of people gathered here, all wearing short cotton jackets, squatting or standing, chatting with the people around them.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like he was in his thirties and dressed slightly more decently glanced at the audience, and then said, "Are all the people here?"

"Liu Tou, everyone is here. ”

"Master Liu, don't worry, it's all here. ”

"There was just a big flood, the harvest at home was cut off, and they all want to eat, who won't come!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Listening to the words of the middle-aged man, many farmers spoke, and there was a lot of noise for a while.

This middle-aged man's surname is Liu, what is the specific name, I don't remember - there are not many people who have names and words in this era, and they are generally called according to what the surname is, the number of titles in the family, and the surname Zhang is the third, so it is called Zhang San, if this Zhang Sanming is good, it is generally called Zhang Sanye.

And this middle-aged man, because he is a contractor and is in charge of one hundred and ten people, is called Liu Tou, and there are also those who call Liu Ye.

After all, although there is a big flood at the moment, people are needed for reconstruction in various places, but those who can undertake the construction of official roads must have something to do with the county government, although this relationship is worthless in front of real people, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is already a great person.

"Now that we're here, let's get to work!"

Liu Tou glanced at it again and said, "The county said that if you finish it three days in advance, you will be given some extra money and food subsidies, and everyone will be able to get a lot of it, and maybe you can cut a catty and a half catty of meat and bring it back." ”

Hearing that they could cut meat, one hundred and ten people immediately swallowed their saliva - although there is a city god and water god to govern the wind and rain in this world, except for the demons and chaos, it is basically smooth and rainy, and in addition to the low taxes, the people can leave surplus food, but meat is still a luxury food after all, and ordinary people can eat a few meals a year, which has been calculated.

At the moment, everyone was full of energy, and they all cheered, and then began to work in full swing.

These farmers have the strength to farm all year round, and they pile bags of sand on top of them, pushing the stones back and forth, pressing the mud and sand tightly, sprinkling gravel, and continuing to roll with stones, and so on.

This hundred-and-ten man is not the only one working here, on this official road, but on the road of twenty or thirty miles, there are thousands of people who are firing bows, and the sand and gravel are in great demand, so that the oxen pulling the cart are panting.

But after all, it still can't withstand the consumption.

I heard that you can get extra money and food after finishing it in advance, and everyone is full of enthusiasm, and the sand and gravel that were originally piled up like a hill are visibly reduced to the naked eye.

Soon, a morning had passed.

At noon, an ox cart drove over, followed by several people, and a wrestler wearing the armor of the Hanging Mirror Division followed.

When they arrived, they stopped the ox cart and started cooking in front of everyone, rolling out the dough mixed with coarse grains into noodles and putting them in the pot on the spot.

In addition, there is a sauce made of diced meat, which has a fragrant smell of meat that makes many farmers who work in the stomach growl.

The wrestlers of the Xuanjing Division are naturally here to supervise whether there are any corners cut in this meal.

Seeing that the coarse grain and white flour accounted for half each, and the amount of meat was sufficient, he nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, the fried noodles were ready, and a person shouted, "It's time to eat!"

The farmers immediately cheered, half of the noodles were coarse grains and the other half was white noodles, and there was a sauce made of diced meat, after stirring and mixing well, it was really fragrant and appetizing, and everyone was gobbling it up at the moment, and everyone ate it to their heart's content.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Tou saw that everyone had finished eating and rested for a while, so he shouted: "Start work!"

Everyone stood up and continued to work.

The sun shines on the ground, reflecting a strange white light, it looks cold, and it is already late autumn at this time, and the wind blows and there is a cold air rushing, and the leaves on the trees are almost gone, and at first glance it seems that everything is slaughtered.

But that didn't stop the farmer's enthusiasm.

After eating, the work was more energetic than in the morning, and before dusk, all the sand and gravel had been finished, and then the stone was used to grind it many times to flatten the road, and then it was over.

"Everyone, pack up your tools, and you'll follow me to get paid!"

Liu Tou looked at the length of the road construction, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - today's construction is more than the tone, according to this progress, they will definitely be able to finish it in advance, and when this section of the road is completed, not only can they get an extra copy, maybe they can also take this opportunity to charter the next section of the road.

If that's the case, even if you don't make it this year, you can still make your family better.

Thinking of this, Liu Tou felt some joy in his heart.

Although he is a foreman, he can't control the money and food, this is a key matter in the county, and it is personally supervised by the big people in the county.

In this way, for some consideration, a foreman like him can only receive a penny of his own money to prevent chaos - if there is really a mess, not to mention the big people in the county, the county gentleman alone will not be able to pass this level.

But even so, he made a lot more profit than ordinary people.

The other farmers didn't know what Liu Tou thought, but they also started in their hearts - it was always worth looking forward to when they were paid, and they were busy farming all their lives, in order to seek food and clothing and hope for a better future, and everyone was very satisfied with this hope at the moment.

After packing up their things, hundreds of people followed Liu Tou to collect the money.

Halfway through the official road, in a makeshift shed.

Although it was a temporary construction, there were curtains on all sides, and there was a fire inside, and although it was cold outside, it was very warm inside, and there was still warm wine on the stove, and there were a few side dishes.

There were several people sitting inside, three of them were wearing official uniforms, this was a county official, and in the next place, there was a person sitting alone, but he was sitting cross-legged, his eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and the clothes on his body were Xuanjing Si Jinyi Xuanjia - but he was a school captain.

Several officials were drinking, and halfway through drinking, one of the oldest and most prestigious, put down his wine glass, glanced at the captain of the Hanging Mirror Division who was sitting not far away, and then lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Don't do it this time!"

Hearing this, the other two were stunned, but then reacted: "What Wang Tou said is that this time it was the county bigwigs who personally supervised it, and the county monarch also moved his true character, so let's not make a taboo." ”

Both nodded.

Although it is easier to govern, it is ordinary officials who really manage the people, and corruption is inevitable, and it is impossible to prohibit it no matter what.

However, in the past, as long as you can get things done and do good things, this is all a blind eye, which is within the unspoken rules.

It's just that this has a premise, it can't be a bad thing!

If something is bad, there is no loss in death!

And this time, it was the first thing that the county bigwigs did when they first arrived, and the county magistrate didn't dare to slack off.

After all, the first thing in office, if something goes wrong, God knows how the big man in the county will be angry?

"That's it, everyone's hands and feet are clean, don't stretch out your hands...... Ugly said ahead, who wants to stretch out his hand indiscriminately, in order to prevent other people from being implicated, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people, and I will be the first to tie him up without waiting for the county monarch to do it!" said the first official to speak.

"Don't worry!"

"We understand that we will never do anything at this time. ”

The other two have expressed their positions.

Hearing this, the official surnamed Wang softened his face and said, "Okay, let's go and distribute the money, and we will all go home after the incident." ”

With that, he finished his glass, stood up, and walked outside.

Their voices were low, but they didn't know that the captain of the Hanging Mirror Division had mana, and they couldn't say that when they were so close, even if the wind was blowing within a radius of hundreds of meters, they could hear it.

Listening to the conversation of the three officials, the captain couldn't help but smile.

He remembered that before he entered the Hanging Mirror Division, his father was also a small official in a certain county, and he had also judged the situation and struggled for life, but these were all in the past.

With his joining the Hanging Mirror Division, the world suddenly changed in the family.

"Humanity is insignificant, the fairy road is reckless, and the ghost road is happy. When life is the door, the immortal road is noble, and the ghost road is noble. ”

This thought flashed through my mind, and I couldn't help but have some new insights.

"The immortal road is noble, the ghost road is noble, and there is no measure of people. For an airway practitioner like me, what I want is to live forever and be naturally auspicious, while the ghost path values how it ends, while humanity is only for peace and health, and to live in this world. ”

"Different visions, different pursuits, different statuses...... All the differences are only due to the differences in the roots. ”

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel sunny.

But when I think about it, people struggle to survive, and an air path cultivator like him is not also struggling for the Great Dao?

It seems to be a superior line, but in fact, who knows the blessing and the curse?

Outside the shed.

As soon as Wang Tou and the other two officials went out, they saw that there was already a queue outside, and nearly a thousand people were waiting silently.

"Your Excellency is out!"

"Looks like we're going to be paid!"

"It's finally here, I've been waiting so long!"

The sound of discussion continued to sound.

"Silence!"

Wang Tou said something loudly, and the audience suddenly became quiet.

Seeing this, he nodded with satisfaction, and then sat down in a chair, with several large baskets and boxes at hand, which were full of money and food.

Flipping through the account book, looking at the honest and nervous farmer in front of him, he couldn't help asking, "Name?"

Zhao ...... Zhao Tiezhu!"

Wang Tou wrote down the name, and then said, "Who is Zhao Tiezhu's foreman?" Come up and give him thirty pieces of wages, two buckets of rice. ”

"Me, me, me!"

Liu Tou hurriedly came up, walked to the big basket, counted out thirty wen, weighed two buckets of rice, and handed it to Zhao Tiezhu.

Although this does not belong to me, I still feel a little reluctant to watch myself give it away by myself.

Don't talk about Liu Tou, but say that the nearly 1,000 farmers, when they saw the rice and copper coins with white flowers, immediately exploded.

"Oh my God, this is really rice!"

"Look at this money, it's full of weight!"

"Such copper coins, thirty tops and thirty-five on the market!"

"Obediently, I'm God!"

In the midst of the discussion, it began to be distributed in an orderly manner, and those who got the money were smiling, and those who were waiting to receive it were looking forward to it.

When the sun set, everyone received the money and food, and everyone was suddenly smiling.

The money and food are in the bag, and it is finally reassuring.

Now that the New Year is approaching, there was a big flood, and everyone was desperate, but at this moment, with this money, there is hope that if you can work for a few more days, you can have a good year at the end of the year.

Maybe this year I can tear a few feet of cloth for the boy and the old lady and change into new clothes!

Thinking so, everyone had hope on their faces.

......

Here in the sky, in a cloud.

The two figures in Taoist robes raised their eyes and looked down, and when they saw that the people below were all smiling, they immediately sneered.

"This newcomer to the Hanging Mirror Division Qianhu really has some means, and he has given people's hearts to a small matter!" A high-crowned Taoist couldn't help but say when he saw this, looking a little unhappy.

And the other person, who was also dressed like this, only had a piece of topaz hanging from his waist, with lines and streamers rotating on it, obviously a magic weapon, but when he saw this, he sneered: "Now that martial arts and magic are manifested, even if they are popular with ordinary people, what can they do? Warriors and monks are fundamental!"

"That's just as well. ”

The two looked at it again, but they didn't speak, and they were speechless for a while.

These two people are the elders of the Valley of Fire.

There is such a big thing happening in Yanbo County, they are located next to Yanbo Lake from the Valley of Fire, although the big demon stood by and watched when he was in chaos, how could he not make any moves?

Benli Huogu still thought that after the big demon made a rebellion, when the government was in a hurry to clean up the mess, they would come out again to use magic and magic powers, save the people, and then earn a wave of popularity, and at the same time, if there were good seedlings could also be introduced into the sect, who would have thought ......

The newly appointed Hanging Mirror Division Qianhu actually took the lead in doing it!

And they did it so thoughtfully, so they had no chance to interfere!

"This Hanging Mirror Division is really hateful!"

Thinking of this, the Taoist with Gao Guanbo couldn't help but say hatefully: "I really miss five hundred years ago...... If that martial saint does not exist, although the world is a little chaotic, but for our monk sect, it is at ease, and the imperial court can't control it at all, and it doesn't dare to manage our heads, but after the establishment of the Hanging Mirror Division, it first killed most of the sects, collected the world's martial arts and Taoism, and only some top sects remained, which was also weakened a lot, and the background was greatly reduced!"

"And a sect like ours from the Valley of Fire, either it has survived since five hundred years ago, or it was founded in the past five hundred years, and its background is far inferior, but it is to sit and watch this Hanging Mirror Division grow bigger and control us!"

"It's hateful that so many people have joined the Hanging Mirror Division now, and they are willing to be the eagle dogs of the imperial court...... Why don't you have the slightest kind of monk's carefree temperament!"

Hearing this, although the Taoist with topaz on his waist did not speak, his face was obviously not very good.

His junior disciple is a little arrogant in temperament, and since he embarked on the path of the Qi Path, he has felt more separated from the world, and wants to regard ordinary people as ants—this is also normal.

It's just that this junior disciple has been thought of by the elders of the sect, and he is quite revered for the past, and he doesn't like how to look at the Hanging Mirror Division, although he also thinks the same way.

It is worth mentioning that it was this junior brother who had a conflict with the Hanging Mirror Division at the beginning, so that Lihuo Valley was originally just cold to the Hanging Mirror Division, but now it has become a little contradictory and frictional.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but say to his junior brother and fellow Xudao people: "By the way, this Hanging Mirror Division New Thousand Households has arrived, I heard that the Qingluo Sect and the Feiyan Sword Sect have already sent people to send congratulatory gifts, I don't know what to do with our departure from the Valley of Fire?"

"The sect master means no contact!"

Tongxu Daoist said coldly.

The Taoist wearing topaz was stunned: "But this is ...... But you're not afraid that the relationship with the Hanging Mirror Division will continue to deteriorate?"

"What if the relationship deteriorates?

Tongxu Daoist sneered and said: "The thousands of households in each county of the Hanging Mirror Division are quite autonomous, if it is not a major matter, the state generally does not ask, if he has a dispute with us, not to mention whether this district of a thousand households can deal with us from the Valley of Fire, then the entire county will be turned upside down because of this." ”

"When the trouble is out of control, even if the state sends someone to clean up the mess and settle it afterwards, he will definitely be to blame...... I heard that he is a key seed cultivated in the state, and his future is not small, so he really dares to take the risk of cutting off his future and quarrel with us?!"

Hearing this, the Taoist with the topaz nodded.

"That's just as well. ”

That being said, the Taoist wearing the topaz was still a little worried.

But after thinking about it, not going to send congratulatory gifts from the Valley of Fire made these thousands of households uncomfortable at most.

As long as anyone who is smart and knows how to judge the situation, he should understand that this unhappiness and discomfort are nothing-if he really wants to intensify this contradiction, when the time comes, the two sides of the Hanging Mirror Division and the Valley of Fire will have a dispute, and the biggest loss will be himself!

He believes that this Qianhu will never do such an unwise thing for the sake of the future and the overall situation!

And maybe in order to stabilize the situation and not delay the future, this new Qianhu will take the initiative to get close to them to show goodwill!

Thinking like this, he also put his mind at ease.

"Let's go, since we can't intervene in this matter, let's go back and get back to the sect master!"

Glancing down again, the Taoist with the topaz spoke.

"It's okay, I've been in the mortal world for a long time, and I always feel that the fireworks in the world have polluted my mana, and even the operation seems to be a little sluggish, so it's better to go back early. Tongxu Daoist nodded and said.

After speaking, the Tongxu Daoist cast a spell, but saw an invisible wind suddenly arise, blowing the cloud away, and suddenly disappeared here.

Go in the direction of the sect.

......
