Chapter 114: Be Prepared
Dayi County, which merged Guhan Town, is still cold in spring.
The first melting snow water merges into a small stream with ice flowers, and flows south into the main stream of the Baishui River, Lengxi, this waterway is greatly affected by the seasons, and cannot be navigated by large ships for shipping, but compared to the rolling mountains in the northern foothills, it has been quite favored by the heavens, at least in the warm late spring, when everything recovers, ordinary farmers can sow hope, and fishermen who have no other livelihood can also raise eight or nine cormorants in a small boat, and struggle to maintain a family.
The establishment of Dayi County has provided many opportunities, at least for young people, with many shops and official roads full of business and travel, and everywhere is full of vitality and hope, even if the salary is very low, it is far better than before.
When Jiang Feng arrived in Dayi County, Zheng Keyi happened to be helping in Yu Xiaozheng's shop, and when she saw Ding Lingyu, whose face was pale due to the long flight, and her face was almost pale, she didn't ask much, but just settled down carefully, and waited for Jiang Feng to rest for two hours before coming over to report the latest situation.
"Everywhere is the news of the appearance of the treasures of the Fury Wind Canyon?"
"That's right, many scattered cultivators have rushed to Luoyingmen and Chixiamen through Dayi County, presumably for this matter. β
"There's no chaos, is it?"
"After Elder Shen came, because there were people who administered justice in all matters, the situation was much better than before, but originally because the Yu family had a Xuan-level monk sitting in the newly established auction house, there was no life here, and most of the disputes were normal, and they could be resolved by just finding a middle-of-the-road. β
"How's that for the slaves you kept?"
"There are already three people who can help, and the rest are still in training, the boss, if it is convenient, I ask to open a small shop independently, although it may not make much money, but it is more convenient for us to gather intelligence. β
"Yes, you can do it. Jiang Feng took out thirty second-order pieces and put them in front of the case, opening a store will inevitably require expenses, in Dayi County, where the land price has reached a new high, this money is not too much, but it is still useful. There are indeed a lot of conveniences in opening a store alone, and it is impossible for me to live in Yu Xiaozheng's store all the time.
"Thank you. Zheng Keyi accepted the spirit stone, she is so good, she is never hypocritical. Jiang Feng also believed that she could handle things well.
"Master, there's one more thing. Zheng Keyi took out the palm-sized burlap bag and carefully presented it, "I can't understand the code words on it, it's a strange man with a flat shoulder, and after seeing me, he threw it at the door." β
"Good. β
Jiang Feng put it away, glanced at it, and already knew who sent it, when he left the Hanshan faction, he had explained Zheng Keyi's portrait and approximate location to Ma Taiji, Zhou Xing and the Zhou family were indeed a link between the two, but Jiang Feng didn't want to put the Zhou family in this special function without special needs.
On the other hand, in terms of espionage, Jiang Feng has his own considerations, that is, he must be entrusted to someone who can be trusted enough, Zhou Xing himself has no problem, but he himself has a Xuan-level cultivation, and he should take on more important positions now, such as the town guard of Donghu County that he just assigned, and the remaining family members, no one has yet entered Jiang Feng's field of vision, maybe Zhou Xuyao, who is a martial arts top eight, can, but this kind of seedling with a combat method is still left to shine in the future monk battle array.
"This information was sent by Hanshan. Jiang Feng did not hide Zheng Keyi, "Now it is a one-line contact, so there is no need to panic." Prepare, and continue to help you awaken tomorrow. β
"Yes. Zheng Keyi retreated in response and went to carefully serve the guest room that had been prepared, but she turned around and suddenly thought that the girl named Ding Lingyu was arranged tonight, and wanted to ask again, but she felt that this was not too much of a problem, and there was no need to bother the head again.
She chuckled in her heart, and then made a decision.
............
Zhou Xing and several newly recruited children are discussing the recent events in the council hall, saying that it is the council hall, but in fact it is a ruined temple in Donghu County that has been abandoned for many years, and the statue that has long lost its luster has long been collapsed, and it can barely be seen that it should be the "Earth Fruit God Monarch", a widely circulated legend here, it is said that he is a deer demon who has achieved the ground level, and has blessed this place for many years, but in the end, he travels and does not know what to do. When Zhou Xing and a few disciples arrived, they saw that the terrain and location here were good, and they could have a bird's-eye view of most of Donghu County, so they cleaned up this place and simply repaired it, and it became a council hall.
In addition to Zhou Xuyang and Zhou Xuming's two relatives, as well as Chen Xin and Wei Zhe's two monk disciples, there were also the original ordinary stewards Qiu Danian, an old man in his sixties with white hair, his family's prestige in this place is very high, so he was responsible for all the original affairs.
Regarding the arrival of Zhou Xing's monks, Qiu Danian raised his hands in favor, and also appointed two juniors of the family to come over to help, but Zhou Xingwan rejected his idea of marrying his niece to himself, after all, he had just married and did not want to take a concubine so quickly. However, out of consideration for encircling local forces, he still designated his son Zhou Xuyang to marry a granddaughter of Qiu Danian, but he only needs to be at least 20 years old to operate, which Qiu Danian, who has been in charge for many years, knows the new "female eighteen, male twenty" regulations set up by the six divisions last year, so the guests and hosts get along very well, and they quickly blend together.
The things that Zhou Xing discussed are nothing more than the recent signs, that is, there are "fishing tyrants" and "road bandits", which are different from scary names, in fact, these are local households, empty and some force, not monks, due to the influx of foreign mortals, the fishing grounds of East Lake, and the mountains in the wild, there have been a lot of disputes, these "fishing tyrants" and "road bandits" It is the folk heroes who emerged in this background, although Qiu Danian has the influence of the family, but he is a mortal, and he is powerless to suppress it, so he can only let it grow and grow, until recently, it has become more and more intense, and has developed into a large-scale armed fight between the aborigines and the new Dingkou.
Zhou Xing decided to clarify the rules one by one, and also symbolically catch a few leaders, for him, and even a few apprentices, it is a simple matter, this is the difference between the ordinary and the monks, even if a few people do not have any outstanding magic weapons, but they are better than the ordinary, the real number can not be easier trivial things, of course, more importantly, how to reconcile the contradictions, invest in spirit stones, and expand more fishing grounds and mountains is on the one hand, on the other hand, he also plans to investigate what livelihood can be developed in Donghu County, after all, it is only limited to traditional industries, and cannot solve the fundamental problemγ
At this point, he also has some ideas, such as using the fishery to raise some low-level spirit beasts, which is much more profitable than selling fishery, and can also support more people, and so on, he plans to take a look at it more recently, and strive to come up with at least three or more countermeasures.
Zhou Xing has sorted out the situation here, and carefully transcribed it, preparing to report it to the head Jiang Feng, Dayi County is already guarded by others, and he will try his best to suppress it like himself, and whether there are similar signs in Nuangu County, the head of the sect still needs to send someone to prevent it, and be fully prepared, and it will change later.
............
The removal of the law phase was carried out very smoothly, and what was extracted this time was a "fine vein rush grass", at least with Jiang Feng's insight after hurriedly supplementing a few books, it should be that this kind of law that can barely be regarded as a spirit plant is correct. After many exercises to perform the phase splitting technique, Jiang Feng's body has been able to adapt to the consumption of this kind of spiritual power micro-manipulation, and when the sun is on the third pole, he has already recovered, and he went out to follow the clues to find the secret agent left by Ma Taiji, and also calmed down, thinking about the news that "there is a heavy treasure in the canyon" that has recently circulated in Dayi County.
Jiang Feng suspected that the spreader of this news was the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce. Previously, Murqiu Springs had asked for a fake treasure map, which showed that they had intended to disrupt the situation, fish in troubled waters, and get a piece of the pie in the exploration of the ruins. And Moqiu Spring has been killed by himself, originally thought that they only had this plan, but now it seems that they may have been fully prepared, a variety of means together, and they will not stop until the goal is achieved.
A pseudo-heaven-level relic, what can it have?
Pseudo-Heaven level, what does it mean exactly?
Jiang Feng literally guessed the meaning of this, it sounded like a great opportunity, judging from the entrustment of the Ice Desolate Snow Girl, she wanted to take the opportunity to resurrect and regain her dominance over a small square of the world, with the strength of her ancient demons - Yi Ma Taiji consulted in the classics, at least she could reach the level of the prefecture-level Great Perfection - it was indeed like this, plus the three ancient demon legends she had recently collected, maybe she would soon get a glimpse of the truth.
It would be even better if the deeds of the "Venerable Yuan Chu" could be further investigated, everything would be like peeling off the cocoon, and it would be straightened out one by one, and it would also add an extra guarantee to the safety of his own entry into the ruins.
But the news of a pseudo-heaven-level boss is not so easy to inquire about, Jiang Feng thought about it for a long time, and found out that this news is at least possible for the Yu family or the Xiao family, or the Chu family, or the Ling family of the Imperial Wind Sect, and these bigwigs, with the channels they have, cannot see them in person for the time being. Yu Xiaozheng's sister and brother are not of high status, Xiao Mingzhen has already started the special training of "Tianluo Feng Qing Dance" is not in Zhenwu City, Chu Yiming, an impostor, is still pretending to be unconscious, as for Ling Shao, can the relationship be regarded as a relationship, at least Jiang Feng does not think so.
It is still necessary to wait for the opportunity, this news is too high to be heard, and it is natural.
According to the code words left by Ma Taiji, after wandering around the commercial streets of Dayi County for a while, Jiang Feng went to the north, stopped for a moment near a newly established lumber yard, and soon felt someone behind him. He then walked the secluded path until he approached the wilderness, and then stopped.
"Master Jiang!" took off the wide burqa, and it turned out to be Ma Taiji himself.
"Why did you come in person, it's dangerous. β
"Things are important, and I don't dare to entrust others. β
"What's the matter?" Jiang Feng pulled him into a hundred-year-old cedar tree, the dense canopy of which was enough to shade the two of them.
"I have a few people to entrust to you, and they will be placed in the Asakyama Sect. β
"Are you in danger?"
"No, it's just that I'm going to go to the canyon with you in the future, and I vaguely feel that my life may be in danger, and if I fall into it, the family will have no one to take care of it. β
"Aren't you surnamed Ma?"
"At this time and that time, in order to resist the pressure of Tuobatatu, Ma Ai had to win over all his relatives, and now that he is the head, things are different, to be honest, I have been mixing very badly recently. So, I want to make some preparations, once I die in the valley, my branch will not be extinct. β
"Ma Ai is so ruthless?"
Hearing Ma Taiji say this, Jiang Feng's perception of Ma Aidu has changed a lot, and in his previous impression, he was just a long-faced and long-armed Xuan Xiu who was unwilling to sign the collegiate meeting.
"It's hard to put into words, Master Jiang, I call you a brother, for the sake of us who are about to live and die together to do things for Lord Snow Maiden, how about placing one of my monks, three ordinary people, in the Asshan Sect?"
"Naturally, there is nothing to say about this. Hearing Ma Taiji mention the Snow Maiden, Jiang Feng thought of the curse on his body, "Taiji, have you felt special lately, I just mean, I feel that I have changed a lot?" He said vaguely, on the one hand, the curse is indeed inconvenient to describe, let alone let people know, on the other hand, he is not clear whether the Ice Desolate Snow Maiden will make a move against the descendants of his bereaved family.
"Change?"
When Ma Taiji heard this word, the stiff pain on his body came again, and his haggard eyes were full of confusion, "If you want to talk about change, I have been dreaming a lot lately, and I may have been tossed by Ma Ai, in short, I have suffered a little bit of gains and losses, and I have never been so anxious when the avenue was hopeless before." β
There is no way to judge this, Jiang Feng secretly thought, interlaced like a mountain, if you want to see clearly, you must know how to solve the spell before you can do it, but unfortunately the old man Zhou of "Jiuxingfang" is not in Dayi County.
After two incense sticks, inside an empty house on the corner of the commercial street.
"From today onwards, you will stay in the Asakyama Sect!"
Ma Taiji pointed to a handsome boy with a handsome beard, and three men and a woman dressed as guards, and announced the decision.
