Chapter 123: Looking Forward to the Dawn
Shen Chong was stunned when he heard this. The beast tide is tricky enough, is there anything more difficult to do?
Doubts are doubts, he didn't interrupt Ying Han out of a voice.
Ying Han continued: "You must already know that the two lifelines of the Yama Kingdom, the Spirit Stone and the Grain, have been controlled by Ling Bing and the people. ”
Shen Chong nodded, indicating that he understood.
Ying Han also said: "In Panxi County, which is adjacent to Luxie County, there is a Panxi that runs through several counties, which is said to be a stream, but in fact it is already a big river. Those counties are the grain base of the whole country of Yama. It was originally a good place with abundant resources, but ten years ago, a large number of crops in those counties died, and many people also contracted the plague, which suddenly caused a sharp decline in the population and food production of these counties, and many of the surviving people were displaced and had to come to the unaffected counties to beg for a living. ”
Thinking of the fact that there were also many people begging for a living in Jingma City, where Yan Qing was the city lord, Shen Chong felt heavy and asked aloud: "Is the decrease in grain production in those counties a locust plague?"
"Neither. ”
Ying Han shook his head slowly and said, "After such a thing happened, the Nine Xuan Palace hurriedly sent a master to investigate, but the final result was shocking. It turned out that the water source in these counties was in trouble. Panxi suddenly became a poisonous river, and the water quality was completely polluted, which was the biggest reason for the reduction of grain production and the occurrence of plague. ”
At this time, Xu Tianjun also added loudly: "According to the symptoms of those people who died of the plague, many people speculate that Panxi should have been poisoned. ”
Ying Han nodded: "Exactly." During that time, food prices were high. And Ling Bing and the others happened to be impeached by the Xu family's family elders, and they were sent to a border city. This city is the granary of the forward defense line, and it stores a lot of grain on the defense line, plus its own grain production is good. That time, Ling Bing and the others took the opportunity to raise the price of grain, and after they returned to the capital, they even installed their cronies to continue to serve as the city lord of the city, and slowly, the grain trade of the entire Yama country was controlled by them. ”
It's a double absolute again!!
Thinking of those affected people, Shen Chong frowned, and asked out loud, "Could it be that Ling Bing and the others deliberately poisoned to speculate on the price of grain trading?"
"It's possible. Xu Tianjun also said: "Xu Ling's illusion technique poison spell can't even be resisted by us cultivators, let alone ordinary mortals. But without evidence, it is in vain to say anything. ”
"Taking advantage of the reduced grain production in Panxi County and other counties, the population has decreased. Ling Bing found a way to control Panxi County and several other counties, and subsequently, the Lingdong Stone Mine in these counties was also controlled by them. Although the Nine Xuandian also had the intention to investigate, Ling Bing and the others coerced and lured. After the assassination of the two Panxi County inspectors, no one dared to accept the task of surveying the mine. "Ying Han's face is not very good-looking.
Shen Chong didn't expect that the methods of these Ling Bing and the others were so good, and the potential power was so great.
Ying Han continued, "It is rumored that in the Flexible Stone Mine in Panxi County, many mortals are controlled to work like slaves. The slavery system is absolutely not allowed to exist in His Majesty the Emperor Yama. The equality of all major ethnic groups is the foundation of our Yama country. Therefore, asking Chong'er to find out the true situation of the Lingdong Stone Mine in Panxi County is a more difficult task than exterminating the beast tide. ”
Shen Chong smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, this is really a difficult errand. However, he is upright by nature, and he can't look down on unequal things such as enslaving others, and at this moment, he will naturally not be afraid to excuse himself.
Thinking of this, Shen Chong immediately said: "Chong'er understands. ”
"Alright, you guys go!" Ying Han nodded in satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, the ban was removed.
Xu Tianjun and Shen Chong bowed, then turned around directly, and left this place through the slowly opening gate of the Qingdao Immortal Mansion to the Nine Xuan Palace.
Alone, he went to Cambe City in Luxie County to exterminate the beast tide, and he also had to go to the Agile Stone Mine in Panxi County to investigate the situation. This task made Xu Tianjun's heart feel huge pressure, not to mention Shen Chong, who was the person in charge of this mission.
Shen Chong was about to set off for Cambe City, and before that, the two of them naturally had to hurry up and go back to plan carefully.
Under the huge blue and purple moon.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion of Emperor Yan's Palace, a figure controlled the white light and landed quickly.
Although this white light flew quickly, when it landed, it was silent, and not even a trace of wind was raised.
The flowers and plants in the garden vied with each other to give off a magnificent light, illuminating the feminine woman in a white shirt among the flowers.
"Rou'er~~" Suddenly a voice sounded.
The woman in the white shirt turned her head happily, walked a few quick steps to the person who flew to the garden, and said softly but slightly anxiously: "Grandpa, Chong'er is okay?" ”
It was Ying Han, the prime minister of the Yama Kingdom, who came, and this woman in white was naturally Shen Chong's sister Ying Rou.
Ying Han stroked Ying Rou's hair, smiled and comforted: "Rou'er, don't worry." Chong'er was fine, and he was promoted to the inspector of Luxie County. ”
Hearing what Ying Han said, a big stone in Ying Rou's heart finally landed.
In this Huangquan Realm, Shen Chong, who is from the New Birth Realm like her, is her very important relative.
At this time, Ying Han continued: "However, I have arranged a task for him, and only when the task is completed can he sit firmly in the position of this patrol envoy. ”
"Grandpa, isn't this mission dangerous?" Ying Rou's newly relaxed heart instantly lifted up again.
"Danger is naturally inevitable, but ......" Ying Han's eyes burned and he looked at the starry sky: "If Chong'er wants to grow, it is not enough to rely on his own efforts and talents. A truly sharp sword can only be completed after repeated tempering in the fire. Chong'er and Rou'er are different from you, if I blindly protect him, I will hurt him. A jade like him, only after continuous cultivation and carving, will it truly release the brilliance of the world......"
In fact, what Grandpa Goda said, Ying Rou understood it, but she was still more worried about Shen Chong's safety.
Seeing that Ying Rou's face was still slightly sad, Ying Han immediately smiled and patted her shoulder: "It's late at night, let's rest early." As for Chong'er, he is the object that Brother Zhiyuan and I plan to cultivate with all our might, and I will let Tianxing always keep an eye on his safety. ”
Hearing Ying Han's assurance, a smile bloomed on Ying Rou's face again, and she said goodbye to Ying Han, and then went back to practice.
Although Ying Rou is gentle and gentle on the surface, her heart is also very strong, and she has never dared to relax her cultivation, especially after reuniting with Shen Chong in the Huangquan Realm, she always wants to improve her cultivation level through hard cultivation, so as to really help her younger brother.
"Chong'er, Sister Rou is also working hard, Sister Rou will definitely not be your burden......" Ying Rou's pair of beautiful eyes shone with a trace of crystalline moonlight, and then she slowly closed her eyes, her mind was dark, and she devoted herself to cultivation.
At this moment, after initially discussing with Shen Chong about the extermination of the beast tide and the investigation of the Lingdong Stone Mine, Xu Tianjun also came to his bedroom with peace of mind.
Like Ying Rou, his heart was also under tremendous pressure because of Shen Chong's perverted cultivation speed.
In the past, Xu Tianjun was the genius of the Xu family, and he was the leader of the younger generation who could reach the middle stage of transformation after cultivating for less than two hundred years.
But compared to Shen Chong's speed, his cultivation speed is not an exaggeration to call it turtle speed.
There is pressure in his heart and he wants to chase Shen Chong, not that Xu Tianjun regards Shen Chong as an opponent and enemy, but he regards Shen Chong as a partner and wants to keep up with Shen Chong's speed, and in the future, the brothers will break through this wonderful world of cultivators together.
After sighing lightly, Xu Tianjun summoned a pale gold bead directly from the storage bracelet.
It was the Jin Dan in the late stage of transformation that Xu Tianjun obtained after the death of Yingfu.
At this moment, the entire Jindan is faintly emitting light, and if you look closely, you can still see that inside the Jindan, there is a baby who is curled up into a ball, and even the limbs and even the face are already very clear.
The baby's appearance is also somewhat similar to the original shadow.
Xu Tianjun didn't observe carefully, but sat cross-legged and directly spat out a scorching flame, burning around Jindan.
And the Jin Dan in the flames was also spinning rapidly under Xu Tianjun's mental control at this moment.
A trace of pure Yuan Spirit Qi was constantly burned into a liquid aura by the flames, and then it was sucked into Xu Tianjun's mouth. With the continuous inhalation of liquid aura, Xu Tianjun's cultivation, which had already reached the peak of the middle stage of transformation, actually showed a trace of loosening.
Tonight, after experiencing conspiracy and killing, it seems that even this night seems particularly quiet and deep.
But in the quiet night, those who worked hard to cultivate were seizing the time to improve themselves, because they knew that soon, the dawn would come again.
Two days later, through meditation, the state in Shen Chong's body had returned to its peak state.
Even, the aura in the body, which was consumed due to the fight with Jiao Can and the poisonous curse aura, has also increased somewhat on the original basis.
In a perfect state, Shen Chong completed the preparations and prepared to go to Luxie County to assist the major cities in exterminating the beast tide.
Xu Tianjun, Ying Rou, Qin'er, Li Si's family and other people close to Shen Chong all gathered together to see Shen Chong off.
Remember, safety comes first in everything, even if you can't complete the task, it's nothing, and paying attention to your own safety is the most important thing. Xu Tianjun explained a few words again uneasily.
In the past two days, he has said these words to Shen Chong a few times.
"Master, Qin'er will work hard to cultivate, you must come back as soon as possible. Qin'er's big eyes were full of tears, and she waved her hand at Shen Chong reluctantly.
"Chong'er, it's okay if you can't catch up with the beast tide, but you must be safe. Ying Rou also spoke up at this moment.
One by one, they all explained to Shen Chong.
This time Shen Chong went on the road alone, and they were naturally relieved in their hearts.
A large group of people stood on the official road outside Emperor Yan's city, attracting the attention of many people who passed through the official road.
"Okay everyone! I'll take care. Shen Chong knew that if it went on like this, it wouldn't be for a long time, don't want to get up.
Immediately, he stopped being wordy, directly raised the reins in his hand, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and galloped forward quickly, and the figure of one person and one rider slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Although he also has a lot to say to everyone, at such a moment, his mother-in-law and mother are afraid that with Shen Chong's soft-hearted character, he will really be reluctant to leave everyone.
