Chapter 49: The Murderous Land (6)
Outside the manor, on the tea mountain, the tea pickers invited by Boss Cai were already busy and hurried.
But Boss Cai frowned in the guest hall in the manor:
"Madame, you are a good housekeeper, but you have an idea with me. Then Jiang Zhutou is here, should I give this gift or not?"
Mrs. had just gotten up and freshened up, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then looked at Boss Cai incredulously:
"Xianggong, you have been working hard outside for all these years? How can people let him return empty-handed when they come to our house? What if people complain that you don't understand the rules and will be embarrassed in the future?"
Boss Cai sighed and said:
"Madame is right, but ...... Two days ago, someone just gave Jiang Zhutou a big gift, but the result was that Jiang Zhutou came to the door the next day and beat the man to death!"
"Huh?" said Madame, "is there such a guy in this world who turns his face and doesn't recognize people?"
Boss Cai sighed:
"Isn't it? If I don't send it, I'm going to be remembered, and if I do, I'm going to be killed....... What the hell do you think I'm doing?"
Madame smiled:
"The county magistrate is still your cousin, and Jiang Zhutou is working in the yamen, so he will never be embarrassed by his cousin who is an official. ”
Boss Cai's eyebrows are still not resolved:
"Madame...... Do you know who the gift giver who was killed by Jiang Zhutou is?"
Madame picked up the teacup and put it to her lips, and asked without thinking:
"Who?"
Boss Cai's mouth popped out:
"The leader of the Great River Gang, Di Xudong!"
"Bang!" the lady's teacup slipped from her hand and shattered on the ground.
She looked at Boss Cai with a stunned look on her face, unable to believe what she had just heard.
The Great River Gang, that's half the sky of Yangcheng. Di Xudong is the most feared figure in Yangcheng, and even Zhou Cunjian, the county lieutenant who holds real power, does not dare to be rude to him.
As for the county order that does not have much real power, compared with Di Xudong, the level is even lower.
Such a powerful person was beaten to death because of this kind of thing?
Boss Cai became more and more sad:
"People even dare to beat Di Xudong to death, and it's really hard to say whether to sell the face of the county magistrate. Ay...... Why did that murderous Jiang catcher come to my house......
Madame was stunned in her seat, and the gloomy cloud climbed between her eyebrows.
A little further away from the guest hall is an exquisite tea house.
In the tea house, whether it is the tables and chairs, the decoration or the tea set, they are all elegant and precious.
This place is a place used by Boss Cai to entertain distinguished guests and fight tea with various tea merchants. At the beginning of the construction, a large sum of silver taels was invested, which was worth a lot of money.
At this time, the teahouse was occupied by Jiang Yuan and Lu Junsheng.
The faint fragrance of tea accompanied by the curling steam lingers in the beams of the room.
Lu Junsheng was sitting on the futon, pouring tea for Jiang Yuan:
"Brother Jiang, have you ever heard of the 'Eternal Mist'?"
After rescuing the middle-aged man and reuniting the family, the two chatted in the teahouse.
Jiang Yuan also decided to skip work for a morning and communicate more with Lu Junsheng.
After all, Jiang Yuan has only encountered three people with the power of inheritance so far.
Yan Gudao is dead, Fei Qingquan is an old oilman in officialdom, and only from Lu Junsheng can he get some information he wants to know.
Just listen to Lu Junsheng continue:
"The 'Eternal Mist' is arguably the biggest secret in this world. But when it appears, it is in the gathering place of the living, or in the village, or in the township, or in the city. At night, a mysterious fog will envelop the surroundings, and no one inside will be able to get out, and no outsiders will be heard from if they venture in. After one night, the living inside died, and the house was destroyed, reducing it to a wasteland. ”
Jiang Yuan was a person who had experienced it, he pretended not to know, and asked:
"What the hell is it?"
Lu Junsheng shook his head and said:
"No one knows what it is, and no one knows when it started to appear. It has been around since the beginning of history, and it reappears in the world every few years. For the people of the land of appearance, it is a disaster. ”
Jiang Yuan took a sip of tea, he asked about the power of inheritance in this world, but he didn't expect Lu Junsheng to pull into the eternal mist.
But he also listened patiently, Lu Junsheng said this, there must be a reason for him.
Just listen to Lu Junsheng continue:
"After generations of research and sacrifice of countless strong people, the predecessors finally figured out some information about the Eternal Mist. Not only did he know how to deduce the time and place of its occurrence, but he also figured out its purpose, which was to sacrifice human beings, so it was also called the 'sacrificial field'. ”
"Oooh. Jiang Yuan nodded.
Lu Junsheng continued:
"As difficult a mystery as the sacrificial field is the 'artifact'. Who made the artifact and where it came from has also been a mystery since ancient times. Because of its incredible power, it is called an artifact. At the beginning of the period, although the artifact was found in the world, not only could not control it, but it would be victimized. All this, until the first strong men who comprehended the mysteries of the sacrificial field. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Junsheng stood up and looked at the lush tea mountain outside the teahouse:
"Through the comprehension of the sacrificial field, those ancient powerhouses finally found a way to use the artifact. They built formations and buildings that played the role of artifacts, and they gained power from them, which was the 'Jongmyo'. These strong men also became the original princes.
In order to continue this power for the benefit of their descendants, the strong men used secret methods to turn themselves into ghosts and seal them in the temple when they were dying, which is the 'ancestral ghost'.
Later generations imitated the 'sacrificial field' and performed living sacrifices every year so that the power of inheritance in their bloodlines would not be exhausted. Since ancient times, there are five temples for the Son of Heaven, three temples for the princes, one temple for the king, and the people are not allowed to set up temples. In fact, the number of temples is related to the number of artifacts it obtains.
Since then, there have been many ways to obtain power by imitating the 'sacrificial field', but none of them can be compared to the clans that have ancestral temple artifacts.
Ordinary people and warriors will never be able to kill demons and clans. Only between demons and clans can they kill each other. As a result, in this world, a society has been formed in which the clan family and demons are the upper class, and the ordinary people and warriors are the lower class.
These are the essence of this world. ”
After Jiang Yuan listened, he straightened up and looked directly at Lu Junsheng:
"I understand. However, I remember that you didn't have the power of inheritance before, so why do you have it now? And the power of your inheritance is exactly the same as that of the ancient path of Nayan. Could it be that ordinary people can also become a family of princes?"
Lu Junsheng returned to the coffee table and sat down:
"All of this is very important, so I can't talk to Brother Jiang in detail. I can only tell Brother Jiang that my situation is extremely special, and I am afraid that I will never be able to find a second example in this world...... The descendants of the Gong family are born with the power of inheritance, and the descendants of ordinary people can only be ordinary people forever......"
When Jiang Yuan heard this, he sighed:
"Born ...... Noble and Cheap"
This world is far more cruel than you imagined.
Ordinary people never have a chance to climb up, and nobles will always be nobles.
Lu Junsheng also sighed, and he followed:
In addition, in order to repay Brother Jiang for saving his life in the River Temple, Junsheng is also willing to save Brother Jiang's life. ”
Jiang Yuan originally wanted to say a big tone, but after hesitating, he changed his tone and said:
"Listen up. ”
Lu Junsheng was silent for a while, and sighed:
"Yang City will be destroyed in the night of three days...... The only vitality is in the Xuan River waterway. ”
Jiang Yuan didn't expect Lu Junsheng to say such a thing, he asked:
"How did you know?
Lu Junsheng shook his head:
"Not a sacrificial ground, but something else. Sorry, I can't say much. ”
Jiang Yuan smiled, Lu Junsheng threw out a shocking news, but he was unwilling to explain, which made Jiang Yuan easily believe it.
Immediately, Jiang Yuan didn't want to dwell on this topic, he asked:
"May I ask Brother Lu, are there any strong and weak realms between the clan family and the demons?"
Lu Junsheng nodded:
"Demons and ghosts enhance their strength by devouring the flesh and blood of living people, which can be divided into: chaos, chaos, ferocity, and death, four realms. The clan family relies on sacrifice and cultivation to increase its strength, which can also be divided into: Mu, Zhao, Ao, and Shi, four corresponding realms. The way to improve strength is like constantly opening the door to potential. Therefore, each realm of the two can be divided into nine que, and each third que is a step, and there are three upper que, three middle que, and three lower que. ”
Jiang Yuan asked:
"Dare to be Brother Lu, what state have you reached now?"
Lu Junsheng smiled:
"I'm ashamed to say that Junsheng is just three under the Mu realm. ”
Jiang Yuan secretly compared his strength in his heart, although he didn't know if he could kill someone with the power of inheritance, but the demons and ghosts had killed a lot.
In this way, he should at least have the strength of the three ques under the Mu realm at present.
The fragrance of the new tea overflowed, and soon another pot was brewed.
The two drank tea and chatted gossip, and before they knew it, it was noon.
The question had been asked, and many things were still waiting for Jiang Yuan to do, so Jiang Yuan got up and said goodbye.
"Brother Jiang, I'll send you, and remember Junsheng's words. Three days later, Yang City was destroyed, and life was in the Xuan River. ”
Lu Junsheng got up to send him off and sent Jiang Yuan to the door.
Outside the manor, Jiang Yuan took back the horses, and Lu Junsheng also began to turn back.
Looking at the back of Lu Junsheng leaving, Jiang Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his heart was surging with murderous intent in his heart.
As soon as his body moved, he instantly came behind Lu Junsheng, followed by the flames of his palm, and his five fingers were like hooks, and he quickly stabbed into Lu Junsheng's back.
The flames began to churn in Lu Junsheng's body, but Jiang Yuan soon felt another force suppressing the flames.
That power comes from Lu Junsheng's blood, and if you guess correctly, it is the power of inheritance.
Jiang Yuan's flame and Lu Junsheng's inheritance power competed with each other and disappeared with each other.
"It worked!"
Jiang Yuan's eyes were full of joy, his flame was not only able to deal with demons and ghosts, but also against people with the power of inheritance.
Lu Junsheng has no value to him at this time, and Jiang Yuan never minds doing the matter of demolishing the bridge in the river.
After being attacked by the sneak attack, Lu Junsheng reacted quickly.
He rushed forward violently, even if Jiang Yuan pulled his internal organs out without pause.
After standing firmly, Lu Junsheng turned around, and a piece of crystal jade that emitted a glimmer of light had already appeared in his hand.
