77. Chapter 77

Looking at the slowly approaching golden light cluster, the originally sad and indignant little Jin Jing quickly quieted down, it could feel a familiar aura in the light cluster, so it did not resist the light cluster approaching itself, just looked at it steadily!

The golden light cluster came to it, and after slowly circling the little golden crystal, it suddenly flew towards its little head melon, and disappeared directly into it.

In this regard, Xiao Jinjing did not resist anything, and after the golden light cluster submerged into his head, he suddenly froze there motionless, and his body began to emit golden light continuously!

Du Long stood quietly on the treetops, his eyes were closed, he had been paying attention to all the changes in the picture of Xiao Jinjing in his mind, time passed slowly, and he waited for more than an hour before the little guy moved!

I saw it raise its head and let out a long roar, and the obvious grief could be felt in the whistling, and the entire lake water surface churned again, but it did not blow the lake into the sky like just now!

In the picture, Xiao Jinjing opened her eyes, looking at the huge skeleton under the water with nostalgia, and only after a long time did she reluctantly dodge and rush to the water!

Crash!

After the sound of breaking water, a golden figure appeared on the surface of the lake, and then turned into a golden light towards Du Long, at this moment Du Long had opened his eyes and opened his arms to welcome the return of the little one!

"Brother Du Long!" In the air, Xiao Jin Jing threw herself into Du Long's arms with a sad cry and cried loudly.

Du Long held the little guy in his left hand, and gently stroked it on its smooth golden scale armor with his right hand, and without saying a word, he comforted the poor little guy with his own actions!

"Woo woo! Brother Du Long! There is a skeleton under this lake, and it is actually my mother's skeleton!" After crying for a long time, Xiao Jinjing raised her head and explained.

"Alas!" Du Long sighed lightly and asked in a deep voice, "Little Jinjing, what's going on with that golden light cluster just now?!"

"Woo, that's a piece of energy left by my mother, and there is some information in it, in addition to some special cultivation techniques of our race, there are also some vague pictures in these messages! I can see a vague picture of a human shooting his mother with that spear!" Xiao Jinjing replied sadly.

"Oh! can you see the murderer's appearance clearly?!" Du Long asked with a straight face.

"No! those pictures are so blurry, there is no other way than to face the murderer up close!" Xiao Jinjing's eyes spewed out a light of hatred and replied in a deep voice.

"I don't think so!Xiao Jinjing, you go and get back the spear that you threw away just now, it is estimated that with this Du spear, the chance of finding the murderer will be many times greater!" Du Long quickly thought of this important clue.

"Alright then, I'm going to get it back, huh! If it weren't for the clues, I would have thrown that broken spear into the stinking dung pit and soaked it for 10,000 years!" said Xiao Jinjing through gritted teeth, and then dodged and ran back into the lake, and soon after, he got the quaint silver spear out.

Stretching out his hand to take the spear, Du Long began to check the body of the spear by the light of the stars and the moon, only to see a silver unicorn dragon engraved on the spear, and the body of the spear was full of scratches, obviously left behind by the great battle!

In addition to the one-horned dragon, the word 'Ice Spirit' is also engraved on the handle of the gun!

Holding the cold silver spear with both hands, Du Long muttered in his mouth: "Ice Spirit Silver Spear?! Look at this gun, since it has the name of the gun, it will be much easier to find out the origin of this gun!"

"Brother Dulong, do you know the origin of this gun?!" Xiao Jinjing saw him read out the name of the gun, so he asked expectantly, to be honest, avenging the murder of his father has become the goal that the little guy will strive for in the future!

Du Long shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have never heard of a silver spear named after Bingluo! However, as long as you have the name of the gun, it is countless times better than not having any clues!"

"Oh!" Hearing him say that he didn't know the origin of this gun, Xiao Jinjing suddenly replied with some disappointment.

"Xiao Jinjing, don't worry, since the owner of this gun can kill such a powerful existence as your mother, its strength is definitely not an existence that you can compete with now! Remember, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!" In her mind, the beauty of the spirit of the ring said with a rare reassurance.

"Jin Jing understands! Next, I will work hard to cultivate, and only when I find an enemy in the future can I have the ability to take revenge!" The little guy's originally disappointed eyes suddenly lit up with a raging fire, full of desire for revenge.

Turning his hand and putting the silver spear into the ring space, Du Long said: "Let's go! It's time to go back! Xiao Jinjing, your father's remains should be placed at the bottom of this lake for the time being! There will be no outsiders to disturb under such a deep lake!"

The little guy nodded with teary eyes, and when Du Long flashed away, it kept looking at the lake that was gradually moving away and wept, and soon, a man and a beast disappeared behind the mountain peak, and flashed away towards Chenjiazhuang in the distance!

"Brother Dulong, this time I have obtained my father's energy inheritance, and there are many secret martial arts skills of my clan, I have to digest these as soon as possible!" On the way to Chenjiazhuang, Xiao Jinjing withdrew his gaze from the direction of the lake and opened his mouth to tell his plan.

"No problem! You usually don't have anything to do, you just work hard to cultivate, if you want to eat and drink, come out, I try not to disturb your cultivation!" Du Long nodded without hesitation.

"Thank you, big brother!" Xiao Jinjing replied gratefully, and then flashed into the bag specially prepared for it in Du Long's arms.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning there were villagers to help prepare breakfast, and last night the old village chief distributed the gold coins given by Du Long, for these villagers who spent copper coins to pick and shrink, they had touched some silver coins at most on weekdays, and few people had touched gold coins like this!

After receiving such a big benefit from others, naturally they all ran out to help prepare breakfast!

After breakfast, a group of more than 200 people rode on war horses, and after bidding farewell to the old village chief who had been sent out, Du Long led a large group of men and horses to continue to rush in the southwest direction.

After gaining experience, their team then calculated the time, and tried to rush to some county towns to solve the problem of food and lodging time, and it took two more days, and in the afternoon of this day, they finally came to the boundary of Fengli County, Xigu Prefecture!

After three days, Du Long hurried and hurried, but after arriving at the boundary of Fengli County, he was not in a hurry to hurry, and began to lead the team to slow down and carefully appreciate the customs of Fengli County!

This way from the capital to Fengli County, the villages and towns that I passed through at the beginning were all rich scenes, and the further southwest I went, the poorer the villages and towns along the way!

Entering Xigu Prefecture, Du Long and the others first entered Yongye County, where everyone clearly felt that the county town of Xigu Prefecture was much poorer than all the county towns they passed before!

But when they arrived in this Fengli County, they found that the people of Yongye County were definitely countless times happier than the Fengli County next door, and the villages and towns within the boundaries of Fengli County were not only sparsely populated, but also the houses they lived in were also dilapidated, and many fields were full of wild grass, and only a very small part of the fields were crops!

"It's strange! Why do the people of Fengli County leave patches of fertile land instead of farming, but want to grow some crops and vegetables in those barren mountainous areas?!" In the team, Su Jinbao looked at the barren fertile fields, as well as those figures who were cultivating on the barren mountains, and said suspiciously.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone immediately realized that it was indeed as he said, this strange scene was indeed extremely weird!

Looking at this fiefdom that was even poorer than he imagined, Du Long frowned and said to the two captains who led the troops: "Sun Lin, Wang Shun! You two arrange for everyone to rest on the spot! Old Ma, you go to the village in front with a few of us!"

"Obey!" The Du family's general Sun Lin and Wang Shun, the captain of the Imperial Forest Army, respectfully ordered his subordinates to rest in place, and Du Long led a group of friends and old horses to rush to the village not far away!

Halfway down the road, Du Long suddenly changed his mind and rode his horse towards a hillside, on which there were just a few villagers who were farming, and were sitting around a big tree drinking water and chatting, when they saw more than a dozen war horses suddenly rushing up, one by one they were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and they all stood up.

When the horse came closer, Du Long gathered his horse and jumped down, and politely bowed his hand to the panicked villagers: "Don't be afraid, fellow villagers! We are just travelers passing through this place, and we want to drink water under the pretext of asking!"

"I see!Hehe, we thought it was an official who came!" The villagers were all visibly relieved when they heard this, and one of them, who seemed to be more able to speak, answered with a smile.

"Why are you so afraid of officials?" Du Long wondered.

"Alas, Son, you are the children of rich nobles at first glance, how do you know the suffering of our people!" The man glanced at the well-dressed men and women, and sighed bitterly: "We are actually forced to grow crops on these hillsides!"

"I'm wondering, too, why do you grow crops on these barren hillsides when you leave the fertile fields under you uncultivated?!" asked Du Long with a puzzled look on his face.

"Childe doesn't know! It's not that we don't want to go to those fertile fields to plant crops! We were really forced by corrupt officials to have no way to live, so we went to the mountains to farm, where the annual harvest is absolutely pitiful, but at least a few full meals to eat, but if we go down to plant fertile land, then we will work in vain for a year, I'm afraid we will owe the government grain, you say in this way, who else wants to run to plant those good fields?!"

"Where do you start with this?!" Du Long really didn't understand the meaning of this villager's words.

"Alas, let's put it simply! The land below is subject to tax, but the land above is not taxed, but it is illegal, can the son understand?!" the man sighed and explained it roughly.

"I don't understand! Where in the whole world, where do you not have to pay taxes for land cultivation? Does the government here still want you to hand over all the annual harvests?" Du Long shook his head, still puzzled and puzzled.

"The problem is that our bullshit government here, make a good field for a sample of the land, and then everyone has to harvest according to his version of the land every year and pay half of the tax, isn't this a trick?!"

"In the same region and the same climate, it is not wrong to collect taxes in this way! Many places are taxing in this way!" Su Jinbao replied.

"Bullshit!Our Fengli County is next to the Forest of Demon Beasts, and every year there are monsters who suddenly visit, as long as we come once or twice, it is possible that our crops will not be harvested, and the land of their government is protected by soldiers and horses, so how can we afford to pay that tax?!" As soon as Su Jinbao's words came out, the man in the village immediately responded indignantly.
