Chapter Fifty-Three: The Ancient City
Huahuan County, located in the southwest part of the Lion City, was originally a port city. It is rumored that during the Yaoshun period, it was inhabited here.
Before the world changed, the biggest feature here was the seafood and wetlands. Now, what interests Ji Zijian even more is the small village of Kong Zhuangzi in the south-west of the county, which was once home to a famous archaeological monument, the city of Pixi.
Many people may not have much impression of the city, but if it is said that the story of the first emperor sending Xu Fu to lead the boys and girls to seek the elixir overseas, I believe many people will talk about it. That's right, the city is the last place where Xu Fu stayed before he went to sea.
did not bring the corpse Xiaoyin, because the change some time ago was really amazing, and the opening and closing protection of the entire mountain gate required the cooperation of the Yin and Yang exercises of the corpse Xiaoyin and the corpse Shaoyang.
Ji Zijian didn't even bring Chen Yuanyuan, firstly, the night enforcers have been frequent recently, and secondly, the latter claimed that he had recently reached the breakthrough stage of the exercises, and the life and death divination and soul summoning flags that Ji Zijian got from the Moon Soul Envoy had a certain inspiration for the exercises of Corpse Xiaoyin and Chen Yuanyuan and their comprehension of Yin Qi.
Ji Zijian had to go out because of the financial pressure that only he knew.
In order to better cover up the mountain gate from being spied on from the air, Ji Zijian asked Corpse Xiaoyin to find craftsmen in Nanpai Village to paint several temples on the mountain in exaggerated vermilion, which added a lot of earthly vulgarity at the same time.
In addition, in order to solve the life of the corpse Xiaoyin as a female dependent, as well as the inconvenience caused by the mixed living of man and beast, Ji Zijian also built three bungalows on the open space on the top of the mountain. One room for each of the three brothers.
In this way, the scenery on the top of the mountain is no different from the small villas that once spread all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland. It's just that this kind of labor and money not only makes the already narrow space on the top of the mountain more crowded, but also costs Ji Zijian more than 100,000 yuan.
Nanpai Village is a village of about 2,000 people, after the change of heaven and earth, the place is much larger, but people are unbearable to the harassment of wild beasts in the nearby forest area, and they all gather in an area about three to five kilometers south of the Nanpai River.
In today's world, ordinary people also have a basic copy of the "Fourteen Classics of Nature", and the city and county-level units in various jurisdictions have set up special qi training clubs, and from time to time send some instructors down to popularize the knowledge of qi training.
Of course, everyone's situation is mixed, the good seedlings have all joined the sect, and the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates can only popularize some of the most basic things, compared to what Corpse Xiaoyin told them and the miracles shown, the latter is undoubtedly more convincing.
In fact, in the past period of time, Shaoyang Sect already has a fixed secret stronghold in Nanpaihe, and the contact person is the village chief named Zhang Xiong, Zhang Xiong is forty-seven years old this year, a son and a daughter, the son is called Zhang Feihe, and the female is called Zhang Fei'e, all of whom are single. Not long ago, in order to completely buy this family, Corpse Xiaoyin wrote some of the introductory tips of Shaoyang Gong and Shaoyin Gong sorted out by Corpse Shaoyang on two artificially processed animal skins that looked "old".
On a foggy dawn, when everyone was still asleep, Zhang Xiong couldn't wait to take the two animal skins from the hands of the corpse Xiaoyin, even though he only had a high school degree, he also knew the extraordinary grace of this grace.
The corpse fairy was very merciful, and even promised to accept his son and daughter as registered disciples, Zhang Xiong's heart was surging, and he couldn't wait to dig out his heart with a knife to prove his loyalty.
Ji Zijian followed the prompt of the corpse Xiaoyin, and under a tall and exaggerated large willow tree in the east of the village, he saw a rough circle on the gate of this house that was drawn by a child with a knife, and there was a half-horizontal line on it. It was Ji Zijian who was inspired by the corona in the Yin Yang Hall of the Shaoyang Sect to invent the mark of the Shaoyang Sect.
According to Ji Zijian's requirements, in order to prevent this mark from being copied in the distant future, this horizontal line should change in length with the waxing and waning of the moon, which is also in line with the change rules of the corona, the treasure of the Shaoyang Sect.
Ji Zijian gently knocked on the door of the Zhang family. Zhang Xiong felt a little familiar when he saw Ji Zi Jianfeng's handsome face.
Thinking about it in his mind, he ruled out the possibility of a distant nephew or nephew, stared at Ji Zijian and was about to ask the fellow what he was doing, and suddenly remembered the clay statue in the City God's Temple next to the Cangxu Lake in the north, carefully looked at it, and hurriedly bent down tremblingly, excitedly didn't know what to do, nodded his head, and repeated only two words "immortal" in his mouth.
Ji Zijian felt a little funny, and hurriedly stopped the exaggerated behavior of the village chief and motioned to the latter to lead the way.
Passing by here this time, Ji Zijian was entrusted by the corpse Xiaoyin to solve the stubborn disease of the village chief's wife - necrosis of the femoral head.
Entering the bedroom, Zhang was lying on the bed, his face was haggard, his hair was wet as if he had just been washed, and a faint eyeliner was drawn on the corners of his eyes, which showed that he had specially prepared for his arrival.
Zhang Xiong's son and daughter stood aside. Zhang Feihesheng was skinny, without Zhang Xiong's bureaucratic posture at all, and his slightly dark face had a few pimples. Because of the exaggeration of thinness, it looks like a sharp-beaked monkey gill. Zhang Feimoth is as thin as Zhang Feihe, although he knows the face of melon seeds, he doesn't have much flesh on his face, and his eyes are timid, and he looks like a very introverted person.
Although the two were a little nervous, they still greeted Ji Zijian generously and called Uncle Shi respectively. Ji Zijian smiled and nodded.
Zhang's family has been tortured by this kind of illness and can walk on crutches, Ji Zijian noticed that the moment she was helped to sit up, her face changed several times in a row, Rao was still like this and did not make a sound, and smiled to himself kindly.
"Immortal, do you think you need to prepare for anything, or what magic weapon do you need?
"Hehe, there's no need, Xiaohe will hold your mother up and surround it with a quilt, and you can just step aside. ”
Zhang Feihe hurriedly did as Ji Zijian ordered. The three retreated to the door.
I saw Ji Zijian standing aside and gently raised his right hand, and a dark branch with a light cyan color appeared in Ji Zijian's hand, which was the big tsubaki branch he took out of the array.
Since his previous strength had a breakthrough, this kind of rough formation can no longer enter Ji Zijian's eyes, not to mention that if the mountain gate can't be defended, a simple small formation is meaningless.
Ji Zijian let go of his hand, and a small wisp of pale green gas floated out of his hand, and the curling smoke gently lifted the big chunzhi.
Through the large tsubaki branch, the gas slowly submerged from Zhang's back.
This kind of necrosis of the femoral head is caused by the perennial blockage of the meridians in this part, and the original work of dredging the meridians, the corpse Xiaoyin is not necessarily worse than Ji Zijian, but it is not possible for ordinary people to repair these necrotic femoral heads.
Of course, with Ji Zijian's current strength, the reason for using Otsubaki is not simply to pretend to be forced.
Since breaking through to the Transformation Realm, the sense of distress from the essence blood of the two alien beasts in his body has become more obvious, and even in Ji Zijian's mind, there are vaguely more inheritances of alien beasts.
These essence blood, like the essence blood in one's body, have been integrated with one's own body, and will grow with the growth of one's own strength.
If you haven't healed her injuries yet, you will be a big joke if you poison her with fat poison first. The function of the big Tsubaki branch is purely to filter the other two gases in Ji Zijian's true qi.
Of course, the vitality contained in the big chun branch can also make Zhang's femoral head, which has been damaged by a small amount, recover its vitality more quickly.
As time passed, Zhang's originally dark black and withered face slowly turned ruddy, and Zhang couldn't help but let out a few refreshing moans.
Two hours later, Ji Zijian took the work. Zhang stood up miraculously, and although he still walked in circles, he didn't feel any pain at all.
Zhang Xiong and the three of them are grateful, although Zhang's illness will not be fatal in a short time, but for this disease, the whole family has really spent a lot of effort. Zhang Feihe and Zhang Fei'e were moved to kneel for Ji Zijian, and Ji Zijian hurriedly raised his hand to support the two.
Kindness is kindness, Zhang Xiong's family is the first gateway of the sect in the outside world, and Ji Zijian did not forget to remind a few people from the side. As long as a few people honestly do things for the sect, the benefits are naturally indispensable. But if you dare to do something sorry for the sect behind your back, hehe......
Zhang Xiong, as the head of a village, had already begun to become disheartened when his children were both brushed down by the sect election, so many sects in Huahuan County, dozens of children in the village were selected, but as the village head, his children were brushed down.
It's a trivial matter on the surface, but anyone who has a bit of a pattern knows that in this kind of world, this kind of thing is related to the rise and fall of a family.
After thirty or fifty years of development in this era, who would sell the face of a village chief who has no strength under his hands? Now that he has finally survived in a desperate situation, it is too late for his family to be grateful to Dade, how dare he have other ideas?
Ji Zijian asked the village chief for some information, rejected Zhang's kindness to stay for dinner, and told Zhang's bones that had just been repaired, and now it was not suitable for doing a lot of manual labor, and it was necessary to practice qi step by step, and it would be good for a woman's body to reconcile. The family was very grateful and respectfully sent Ji Zijian out of the gate.
According to Ji Zijian's calculations, the road from Nanpai Village to Huayin County is about 400 kilometers, and although the land is still expanding slowly, after all, the range is limited and much more stable.
According to Zhang Xiong, there is an organization in Huayin County called the Huahuan County Xiuzhen Association, which unites various Xiuzhen sects and opens up relatively safe roads between nearby villages and Huahuan County.
The process of opening up must have been difficult, and a lot of blood was shed, and then the two sides seemed to have reached a certain tacit understanding, people did not enter the forest, and beasts did not stand in the way.
The roads are full of signs, some say they are used to warn pedestrians on the one hand, and wild animals in the forest on the other.
Of course, safety is relative, just like Ji Zijian was chased and cut in the Lion City during the day, this infinitely expanding world undoubtedly gives the world a lot of loopholes to exploit. The same is true for wild beasts, and the incident of secretly snatching away three or five humans with strange treasures will happen every three or five times.
The purpose of wild beasts to eat people is not to eat meat, but most of them are still for treasure or revenge. After all, the earth is now wide and the sky is wide, compared to the world of human steel and concrete structure, they prefer to stay in the deep mountains and old forests, and the current strength of beasts and humans has not been systematically divided, they are all stages of mutual testing, so the current contradiction is not intense.
Of course, Ji Zijian would not wait until he had gathered thirty or fifty people and then handed over three thousand yuan to the Xiuzhen Association to go with them. After breaking through the transformation, it is one thing to have a certain degree of confidence in one's own strength, but the important thing is that a sect is waiting to feed itself, and there is indeed not so much spare money in his pocket.
However, Ji Zijian has to admire the business acumen of these people, in the long run, this kind of dart industry will also reappear, and it is indeed a huge profit!
