Chapter 323: Meng's
The losses caused by the attack of the giant locust plague this time, even if the cultivation world in Yuzhou were prepared, were far beyond everyone's imagination, so that the conflict between the Heaven Shaking Sect and the Heavenly Wolf Sect and the Kailing Sect in the southern part of Yuzhou, which was originally tense, had to temporarily shift their main energy to the extermination of locusts because of the locust swarms raging in their respective territories.
The locust plague did not bring much damage to Xishan Village, but looking at the overwhelming scene of the locust swarm outside the village protection array, it still made people feel their scalps tingle.
The huge swarm of locusts outside the village is impacting the village protection array all the time, although it cannot shake the protection of the Yuan Magnetic Spiritual Light Array, but the loss of providing the operation of the formation has more than doubled every day, and it is impossible to achieve a drop of water during the operation of such a huge formation, so one or two swarms of locusts will happen to break into the village every day.
However, Xishan Village is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, although most of the martial arts realm monks of the old Yang family have been sent out, but Xu Sanniang, Zhang Blacksmith and Shi Nansheng and other martial arts realm monks do not dare to relax their vigilance, these locusts swarm often just break into the village, and they are exterminated by the gathered monks.
During this period of time, the locust extermination team led by the Martial Realm monks sent by the Yang clan of Xishan Village went deep into the villages of Wasteland Town to assist them in fighting against the locust swarm, but it won a lot of prestige for the Yang clan.
At the same time, rumors about the Yang clan in Xishan Village seeking the Wasteland Town Wang clan also circulated among the various villages, and even the entire Mengyu County had heard about it.
There were also people who asked the martial arts realm monks of the Xishan Village Locust Extermination Team for confirmation on this matter, but these people often laughed and did not answer, as if they had acquiesced to this matter, and it seemed that they had not concealed their ambitions.
However, for this matter, although most of the residents of Wasteland Town did not applaud, they basically did not have much resistance, and more of them stood on a neutral and silent position, but for the Yang family, this attitude was enough.
Less than a mile outside Tumeng Village, a relatively hidden mountain depression, which was covered by a dense forest, An Xia and several children of the Yang clan were standing on the edge of the mountain valley at this time, looking at the low humming sound coming from the woods, and occasionally one or two giant locusts showed their bodies, and they were also twice the size of the individuals in the ordinary giant locust swarm.
"Obediently, the giant locust hidden here is almost a foot in size, this is just the locust guard of the insect king, how big must the real insect king be, this is much bigger than the group of locust guards that Xiaoshan led us to kill on the west mountain!" Yang Qianhai said with some surprise.
The look on An Xia's face was not very good-looking, and he turned around and asked, "What is the situation in Tumeng Village, has the formation plate of the 'one catty' formation handed over by Xiaoshan been arranged?"
"It's all arranged," Yang Qianhai showed hesitation on his face, and said, "It's just that this formation has a miraculous effect on killing the locust plague, do you really want to teach it to others?"
An Xia also showed a little regret on his face, and sighed: "The news that there is this formation in Xishan Village has spread, we can't keep this formation, rather than being coerced by others when the time comes, and not so generously take it out, although this formation is simple and easy to be imitated, but at least it is enough for us to earn a lot of jade coins in a short period of time!"
"Hey, that's right, although we have recently given away a lot of array disks made of this formation, there are still a lot of people who come to buy them!"
"Okay, let's gossip about it, let's kill the insect king hiding in the woods first, so that the locust plague in Tumeng Village can be greatly weakened!"
Although Yang Qianhai put away his smile, he still muttered: "This locust plague is overwhelming, even if this insect king is destroyed, who knows if there will be another one tomorrow, this is much larger than the original giant locust plague!"
In Tumeng Village, Meng Shan looked at several young monks in his village, and under the guidance of several monks from Xishan Village, he laid out several formations in several important spiritual fields and pastures in the village.
A nephew of his own came to Mengshan's back, this is the most outstanding son among the younger monks of Tumeng Village, who just advanced to the martial arts realm last year, and is quite valued by Mengshan on weekdays.
Meng Shan turned his head and glanced at him and asked, "Have you learned the method of arranging the formation?"
Meng Yu had a hint of joy on his face, and said: "Second uncle, don't worry, the formation arrangement is not difficult, it is all in my nephew's mind, this time the people of the Yang family in Xishan Village are very interesting, and the teaching is also very detailed." ”
A hint of sarcasm flashed on Meng Shan's face, and he sneered: "Do you think the people of the Yang family are so kind? Do you really think that you have learned the method of arranging the formation? The formation is broad and profound, at best, what you have learned is just the method of arranging the formation plate, just painting the tiger according to the cat, who knows the real details of the formation?"
Seeing the stunned look on Meng Yu's face, Meng Shan explained: "Those array disks are all disposable utensils, and they can't be used repeatedly, this giant locust plague seems to be impossible to eliminate in a short period of time, once these array disks are damaged, knowing the benefits of the formation to resist the locust plague, what will you do?"
"Of course, I went to Xishan Village to buy a new array. ”
As he spoke, Meng Yu suddenly said, "Second uncle, are you saying that the Yang family will take the opportunity to raise prices and make a fortune?"
Meng Shan sighed: "The price increase is not enough, the Yang family has a very big plan, and will not destroy their reputation at this time, but it is certain to make a fortune, as far as I know, the formation nicknamed 'one catty' itself is not difficult, it is just a trick, therefore, the array equipment is extremely simple, the cost itself is extremely low, and it can be made in large quantities, even if the selling price is not high, the total amount will be extremely considerable." ”
"Now there are many villages rushing to Xishan Village to buy ready-made array plates, and there are many people from other villages and towns, over the years, Yang Tiangang has been able to seize every opportunity to strengthen the Yang clan in time, which makes people really feel incredible, as if the Yang clan can foresee every time!"
Meng Yu also seemed to think of something at this time, and said in a low voice: "Second uncle, I heard that the Yang family wants to be the wang clan of Wasteland Town, and Yang Tiangang also wants to be the guard of Wasteland Town, in that case, wouldn't you want to take away your position from Second Uncle?"
Meng Shan glanced at him and said, "This is not a secret, having a rough control over a small town is the basic requirement for a noble family, if the Yang family wants to become the noble clan of Wasteland Town, then the position of the town guard is what Yang Tiangang is determined to obtain!"
"Then ......" Meng Yu felt that he was in a strange mood, as if he should feel angry at this time.
I heard Meng Shan next to him laugh and said: "You don't have to be entangled, the position of the town guard of this wasteland town was quite surprising when it fell into the hands of your second uncle and me, with the strength of my Meng clan in Tumeng Village and your second uncle and my cultivation, if it weren't for Yang Tiangang's help, I'm afraid not many people would take us seriously!"
"At this point, Yang Tiangang has done it as benevolent and righteous, the Yang family has acted several times, and we have also benefited from following behind, as the saying goes, take people with soft hands and eat people with short mouths, now think about it, then Yang Tiangang is afraid that it is from that time that he began to lay out for the rise of the Yang family, and the benefits of those sent to the door are for today's town guard. ”
Meng Yu was shocked by his uncle's words, and couldn't help but speak: "Then Yang Tian is just scheming, but what should we do, can the second uncle give up the position of guard?"
"Confused!"
Meng Shan pointed at Meng Yu and said, "Do you think that he Yang Tiangang is a good match? But remember what I said before, the calculations of the Yang clan over the years have been like prophets every time, don't you think it's strange? At the beginning of the merger of the two villages of Mound and Tushi, the Xiong and Yu families among the three powerful men all supported Shi Jiutong to be the head of the village, but the result fell into the hands of that Yang Tiangang. ”
Meng Yu naturally knew what had happened, and suddenly said, "Second uncle, do you mean that behind this Yang family is the county government?"
Meng Shan snorted coldly and said, "Otherwise, why do you think that he Yang Tiangang is a rootless duckweed who has broken away from the family, why can he create a huge family business in Xishan Village?"
Meng San paused and said: "This time the battle of the three real people on the border, Chen County Commander is coerced by the power of victory, I am afraid that it will speed up the differentiation and suppression of the three powerful people, this support for the small family to disintegrate the deep-rooted power of the three powerful in Mengyu County is one of the means of Chen County Order, this Yang Clan's rise is just in time to send a knife to Chen County Order, but in order to really make this knife helpful, then Chen County Order must first come up with some benefits, and polish this knife more sharply!"
Meng Yu said "ah" and said, "Doesn't that mean that his Yang family will still have benefits to gain, then our Meng family ......?"
Meng Shan waved his hand to interrupt Meng Yu and said, " Don't forget, the three powerful have been operating in this county for hundreds of years, although the Chen County Order is now powerful, but the strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, although his Yang clan is in the limelight for a while, but he is also risking the destruction of the family, his Yang clan now has more than ten martial arts realm monks, Yang Tiangang is the fourth master of the martial arts realm, how old is my Meng family now, plus you are only three martial arts realm monks, although the second uncle has done a nest over the years, but the benefits are not less, now is a good time to sink down to accumulate the foundation and strengthen my Meng family!"
Meng Yu nodded excitedly, and said excitedly: "Second uncle, don't worry, nephew, I will definitely work hard to cultivate, and my Meng clan will definitely not have to be worse than the Yang clan in the future!"
Meng Shan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, my Meng clan just wants to have such an ambition not to admit defeat, you go first, remember to guard the best pieces of spiritual fields in the village!"
Looking at his confident nephew leaving, Meng Shan suddenly remembered Yang Tiangang's son, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in a low voice: "No worse than the Yang family, hey!"
The woodland in the remote mountain depression outside Tumeng Village was covered with the corpses of giant locusts nearly a foot long, and the largest of them was almost one foot five, but at this time, it had been divided by An Xia, and there were only two hard-looking palates left in his hands, and he was a little funny: "A pair of low-grade fairies, but where is this object used, is there a monk who senses the fairy spirit in the two front teeth?"
