Volume 1 The Story of Asa Mountain Chapter 96 Random Death
"These ......"
Just like a viscous mass of pastry choking in his throat, Jiang Feng couldn't straighten out his breath for a while, but it didn't affect his actions. The right hand is spread out, caressing a monster egg in front of him that is accurately coded in the lacquered wood card, he recognizes this thing, spotted and mixed with patina green lines, slightly larger than his fist, hatched out is the recent rise of the plaything "color feather frightened bow bird", this first-order demon beast is very bold, when meeting the living always like to bury the head in the red and green tail feathers, but the victory in the singing voice is tactful to listen, jumping up and smart and pleasing, recently very popular with dignitaries and nobles, I didn't expect this new store in Dayi County, also sold.
"You really have an eye, this is the Colorful Feather Bow Bird, only one hundred and fifty second-order pieces, our new store is open, and if you buy it, you will give the Bow Bird the most favorite sticky Miling Valley. β
"Hmm. Jiang Feng responded softly, and finally cleared out the stasis that was blocked in his heart just now, "Is there a second-order one?" At this moment, the goods that were put together with the Colorful Feather Frightened Bow Bird all seemed to be first-order quality.
"Do you want a second-order?" Hearing this, the little guy was even more enthusiastic, and inadvertently, he lifted his black smooth hair, revealing his pink and slightly hot cheeks, and stretched out his hand to lead the way with a smile, "It's good for your guests to call me Xiaofei, please come here." β
The goods of the second order are not in the hall, but in the attic above the half-story staircase, where there is also a male monk clerk who guards it, and the cultivation should be of spiritual perfection, although this level of cultivation does not prevent theft, but the vigilance contained in it can still be glimpsed from his keen and divine eye.
"Our Matsuma Pavilion headquarters is in Lizong, unified purchase, fresh and fidelity goods, and can also help you hatch for free, please look here. "The little guy named Xiaofei introduced the background of this shop intentionally or unintentionally, and at the same time he was also warning himself not to snatch it, after all, the second-order demon beast eggs are mostly sold for five hundred second-order, that is, five third-order pieces, and the loss of one, with her identity and commission, she can't pay it off in a lifetime, so she has to be cautious.
Compared with the dozens of first-order demon beast eggs downstairs, there are only ten second-order goods here, and they are all covered with translucent crystal partitions, which cannot be touched at will.
"Is that all?" Jiang Feng pretended to be dissatisfied, leaned half-lean, and approached to observe these demon beast eggs, but in fact, he experienced the changes in the spirit of the black snake.
Fortunately, the spirit of the black snake, which was originally quiet and dormant, suddenly became active again, Jiang Feng could feel its restlessness and restlessness, but it had just absorbed that mysterious scale, its movements were slow and lazy, but there was no doubt that the second-order demon beast egg was still useful to it.
An unintentional death of oneself led to a waste of the opportunity to suppress the spirit of the black snake by using the egg of the first-order demon beast, and now, if you want to temporarily suppress the other party's behavior of sucking spiritual power again, you must use the second-order demon beast egg, you know, the price is five times worse.
"This Blood Wing Wyvern, priced at seven hundred and twenty second-order, is most suitable for a handsome and tall monk senior like you, this Blood Wing Wyvern has a high level of intelligence, and once it hatches, it can automatically recognize the master, so the senior might as well consider it. Xiao Fei whispered behind him, the fragrant wind hit, so that the blood flow in the body can't help but accelerate, this kind of shop that sells "luxury goods", it is said that the clerks are often "smooth" by the monks, presumably this young and beautiful Xiao Fei is also looking for a suitable "prey" for himself.
However, Jiang Feng is self-aware, knowing that he is neither handsome nor upright, and the egg of the spirit beast is for the spirit of the black snake to eat, it does not matter whether the spirit is high or not, the key problem is still shy, counting the cost of buying slaves and transportation before, as well as the impulsive consumption in Ningfeng's shop, the spirit stones he has left in hand are only nine hundred and twenty second-order, if he buys this Blood Winged Wyvern, it will be difficult for the remaining spirit stones to do something practical in the sect, and he originally wanted to continue to invest in the construction of the sect, as well as the plan to spend money to improve the cultivation of the monks in the sect, will also come to naughtγ
Since it was confirmed that the Demon Beast Egg was still useful, but after needing a higher-grade substitute, the depression in Jiang Feng's heart was slightly alleviated, and he briefly looked at it again, and knew several categories that he didn't know, and only in the clerk's "regretful" gaze, Shi Shiran walked out of this Songjian Pavilion, left quickly, and crapped into Yu Xiaozheng's "Black Donkey Zhang" branch to arrange the matter of returning to Luochuan.
You can't die at will in the future, Jiang Feng felt that he had been taught a lesson.
............
The appearance of arriving at Luochuan from Dayi County, compared with the previous report of Jiang Hai, has not changed much, the original funds invested in construction have been consumed by the monks and laymen in the sect, and some areas are even in a state of barbarism. Because of the scarcity of resources, since the head of the eight generations of the Asshan Sect, the monks in the sect have encouraged the monks in the sect to find small spiritual veins to establish a cave for cultivation, but because it costs a lot to explore the veins themselves, and there is no money to support the ordinary people, therefore, this policy, in the context of no sect subsidies, has never been implemented, and it has little effect.
If you want to talk about spiritual fields, spiritual veins, but wherever the feng shui is good, there will be a natural formation, but it needs to be explored and opened up by people who know how to do it, although it is counted as a level, maybe it is not even a half-level spiritual land, but it is also a good condition to support some spiritual-level monks or even Xuan-level beginner-level monks, if you are willing to invest in spiritual stones, arrange a small spiritual gathering array, and spend money to maintain it, then the effect is even more effective with half the effort. If there are monks, there will be demand, and there will be ordinary people to attach to, and then form settlements and multiply, which is also the main reason for the formation of demon market towns.
Liangmu Town, Jiang Feng on the carriage, you can glimpse a weedy ruins from a distance, in the records of the sect, once described the situation here, relying on the output of high-quality wood, here once had its own prosperity story, but because there are no monks stationed to operate part-time management, the situation here is becoming more and more depressed, and finally in the first three years of the nine generations out of the chaotic stone sea, forced to be abandoned, all the ordinary people have migrated to nearby villages and towns to live.
It's a pity.
Feng Shui monks who explore the spiritual veins generally have a minimum annual offering cost of two third-order pieces, plus the cost of probing the veins and building the spiritual array, calculated according to the cost of finding seven or eight tiny spiritual veins in a year, which is enough to cost a third-order each, and there are continuous maintenance costs, this price, with the current situation of the Assanyama Sect, it is difficult to achieve.
It would be nice if the monks of this sect could have this talent, but it is a pity that the Assayama Sect has been passed down to the present, and the awakened law is still dominated by flowers and plants, which is because of the bloodline, and it is difficult to change.
However, it is said that it is not unheard of in history, but it is a pity that the monk coveted wealth and cultivation resources, and used the excuse to find opportunities, but in fact, he went to the Covering Sea Gate halfway, and with the support of the other party's cultivation resources, he finally reached the realm of Xuan-level Great Perfection, and died in an inexplicable assassination inside the door, Jiang Feng guessed that this matter was done by the Fire Seeking Gate in the east, where the style of assassins prevailed, and he had always been dissatisfied with the various suppressions of the Covering Sea Gate, and it was normal to do this.
The scenery of Luochuan is much better, after the implementation of the new county system plan, Luochuan, as the largest metropolis of the Assayama sect, has attracted the best quality resources in the whole territory, and all kinds of shops and ordinary people are gathered here, which is much better than the previous depression.
Jiang Feng had just returned to the inner mansion of the head of the house, and before he met Jiang Hai and Wang Yi, who was considered his confidant, Wu Xianghua, the deacon of the Department of Etiquette, came to him, this half-old-like female cultivator, her cultivation has been lingering in the middle of the spiritual level, and her law is very mediocre, but she is a delicate person, although she was born in the Wu family, she is also quite popular with several other families.
"Master, you're back, you have to call the shots for me. β
What are these words, Jiang Feng stared at her half-foot-thick incense powder, believing that no one inside the door would want to take advantage of her, of course, this may not be, "What's so urgent?"
"Shen Junmao, that old man can't stand it, the Ren family, the Shen family, and the people of your Jiang family have all asked me to prepare for him with the specifications of a Xuan-level elder, but our Qianshan Sect does not have this rule, and besides, the Department of Etiquette has not done this kind of white thing for a long time, and the funds are really insufficient. β
So that's what happened.
The heart was misunderstood, Shen Junmao was originally the patriarch of the "Baiguo Snake Lotus" primitive family, and once received the spirit ceremony of the black snake with the seven generations of heads, and was promoted to the sixth level of the Xuan level, and at the same time served as the patriarch of the "three small" primitive families. Originally, his cultivation would continue to decline until his body fell, but his own law was the "Longevity Fire Cloud Vine" that was extremely beneficial to longevity and longevity, so he hung his life all the way to this day, and he was a rare longevity among the few monks who were possessed by the spirit of the black snake.
"Take me to see it. β
Shen Junmao's identity is special, if it weren't for his cultivation, he would have fallen to the guide
To step down from his post, the "three small" primitive families, now he is still in charge, and they will not be as scattered as now, their strength is weakening more and more, and they are overtaken by the "Mandala Flower", "Soul Nourishing Flower" and "Copper Grass", occupying the main seat of the Elders.
When Jiang Feng became the head of the house, Shen Junmao could have said a few words or given some resources to support, but he didn't pull out a dime and didn't give anything, so Jiang Feng had to agree to the unequal contracts of several elders and lost a lot of power, even including the right to designate some of the next heads. For this reason, Jiang Feng had a lot of complaints in his heart, but after taking over the sect treasury, he knew Shen Junmao's difficulties, as the head of the sect, Ren Wudao had no assets left, let alone a little patriarch Shen Junmao?
He really can't be blamed for this.
Shen Junmao's mansion is located in the west of the city, it is already the edge of the sect's great array, several ordinary people and miscellaneous servants of the Department of Rites are waiting here, and a simple light wooden coffin is parked in the courtyard, from the perspective of shape and size, it belongs to the standard of formal Xuan-level monks, and it has not been exceeded, which is also the focus of the dispute between the two sides.
"Boss......" An old man of the Shen family stepped forward and was about to complain, Jiang Feng recognized him as Shen Junmao's cousin Shen Junsheng, who had cultivated to the third or fourth level of the spirit level, because he was not qualified to accept the possession of the spirit of the black snake, but his longevity was much longer, but he was also dying, and it was estimated that he still had more than ten years of life.
"Look at the people first. Jiang Feng stretched out his hand to stop his complaint, after all, the person was not dead, he had to see Shen Junmao for the last time.
The house was filled with a strong smell of medicine, as far as Jiang Feng knew, Shen Junmao's "Longevity Fire Cloud Vine" method, the natal skill that made him comprehend, has the effect of dispelling illness and strengthening the body, so, the smell of medicine in the room shows that this old man, when the oil runs out and the lamp is dry, he must rely on external objects in order to hang this breath.
"How long has it been like this?" Shen Junmao's vicissitudes of life were covered with furrow-like lines, his eyes were dull, his lips were pale, and he only moved his lips a few times, but he couldn't make any sound.
"It's been more than a year. Shen Junsheng behind him responded, "Patriarch Shen has done his best for the sect, and he also asks the head of the sect to be lenient and bury him with the rites of an elder." He finally had a chance to speak up and knelt down.
Jiang Feng didn't answer, if it's just a matter of money, this matter is not very difficult, the problem is the rules, when Shen Junmao was young, he did a lot of things for the sect, but because after the possession ceremony of the black snake spirit, his cultivation was not as good as others, and he missed the position of elder, of course, this is also the reason why Shen Dejun, the head of the seventh generation, himself came from the Shen family, and had to symbolically suppress the first generation of the family.
The reason why the Shen family asked for this name was because they wanted to take this opportunity to posthumously crown Shen Junmao as an elder, according to the rules of the Qianshan Sect, the elder's son and nephew generation, after the death of the elder, can have a large pension, according to the standard of the previous eight generations and nine generations, it is about sixty second-order, judging from the funds on hand, it is not too much, but in the current situation of the Qianshan Sect, it is a lot of wealth.
But there are no rules, and you can't break this example. It is difficult to quantify the contribution to the sect, otherwise any Xuan-level monk will have to be posthumously sealed and have to be cared for?
The problem is that because of his concubine, in the first generation of the "three small" family, the prestige is not high, if he can't meet this sudden appeal, for his own position in charge, there is still a lot of negative impact, he came back this time, he wanted to boost the original family, with the intention of further balancing the influence of the three vassal families, and then regain some of the power, this matter, first gave himself a problem.
Taking a deep breath, the smell of medicine that stimulated his nostrils made Jiang Feng have a headache, he stepped forward and looked at Shen Junmao, who was already terminally ill, and said in his heart If you can last another half a year, there may be a lot of room for maneuver, but looking at the other party's weak appearance, there is not much time left, I am afraid that even the children in the door know martial arts, and it will be difficult to carry it.
On Shen Junmao's shriveled and withered yellow arm, the mark of the Black Snake Spirit was gradually fading, and if Shen Junmao died, the Black Snake Spirit would also disappear into nothingness and return to a place that no one knew.
At this time, Jiang Feng felt an unfamiliar tingling pain coming from his arm. The black snake on the arm is having a tendency to leave the body, which is a feeling of "I'm hungry", but there is a clear difference from facing the monster egg before.
"You guys go out first!"
