Horn department, corner tomb guard, outside the camp tent.

Walking with his mind, Jiang Yihong faced the sky, closed his eyes and opened his arms, and maintained this posture for a long time, until his breathing was delicate and steady, and his chest was still open.

Father and mother, can they also feel his loneliness!

The heart is sad here, separated by time and space, separated by mountains and seas, mountains without roads, and seas without boats.

Like a thousand stabs, under the stars, in the dream country.

Standing for a long time, Jiang Yihong muttered repeatedly, tracing the source of the fruit, father, old ghost Qin.

This time and space in the other world, could it be that his hometown is inextricably linked to the Hidden Continent?

Recently, there is occasionally a scene in a dream in which a barefoot middle-aged man dressed in sloppy costumes, but it gives people a sense of simplicity and no sense of disobedience, with big eyes and thick eyebrows, eight feet and seven inches, holding a long and simple ancient ruler and benevolent instrument, stepping into the air.

Combined with the ancient and intimate atmosphere of the barefoot man, and then thinking of the ancient ruler pattern that appeared with the power of his totem, Jiang Yihong believes that the main clue currently known points to the myths and legends of his hometown.

Could it be that someone in his hometown has become an immortal, and those who have come to the continent have been hidden?

It is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster to avoid. Jiang Yihong thought so.

It wasn't until there was an irregular and unfamiliar whining sound in his ears that Jiang Yihong suddenly opened his eyes and pulled his thoughts back.

After a while, at a floating peak, Jiang Yihong saw a shadow and a figure busy in the medicine field, and shouted with a smile: "Elder Zhensha, Elder Bian Que, don't come unharmed!"

When Bian Que heard the sound, his hand holding the small medicine shovel stopped moving, got up and turned around and said happily: "I know that your kid has been plagued for thousands of years, and he can still jump alive after being struck by thunder." ”

Zhensha didn't speak, and fumbled for the strange oval-shaped stone with holes and a flat bottom in her hand.

Jiang Yihong smiled and said, "Sister, Xun doesn't play like this. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhensha got up, put the 'Xun' that Jiang Yihong said on the side, and slowly walked towards a thatched hut in the medicine field, without paying attention to Jiang Yihong at all.

Jiang Yihong looked embarrassed, thinking that he didn't seem to offend this person after he came back, right?

Bian Que was dressed in plain clothes and grinned, and said, "After the patriarch summoned the prophet who was in retreat, the prophet only recently replied that you are not dead. You didn't die and didn't reply to a message, everyone was worried about you. ”

Pursed his mouth, Bian Que signaled: "Oh, especially this one, I know that you have escaped the natural disaster, but I heard that after you offended the old demon and the old monster Qin, you also offended Jiang Xiaoshuang and Jiang Junhao in the upper part of Jiupi, and estimated that you failed to hide from this man-made disaster, so I didn't listen to the patriarch's dissuasion, so I went to the upper part of Jiupi to theoretically, and almost tried my best." ”

Inexplicably, his heart trembled, Jiang Yihong didn't know that there was such a thing in the middle, and he was anxious: "Then what?"

"What else can there be? Although it is said that the Bata Department is one of the Ninety-Nine Upper Parts, it is not necessary to raise the snort of the Upper Nineties? A sneeze in the Upper Nineties can make the Bata Department tremble. ”

"Alas. The reason was not negotiated, and the upper part of Jiupi was not so generous, and Zhensha almost died. Later, it was Jiang Junhao who came out and protected Zhensha. ”

After listening to what Bian Que said, Jiang Yihong was moved and blamed himself in his heart, he didn't send the news back, first, he thought that everyone knew that the breath he left in the magic crystal had not disappeared, and second, he was in retreat and did not dare to make a mistake.

Unexpectedly, he almost killed Zhensha's Qingqing.

"What conditions did Jiang Junhao want?" Jiang Yihong said coldly.

seemed reluctant to mention this matter, and after listening to Jiang Yihong's words, Bian Que was stunned, and seemed to be surprised by Jiang Yihong's question: "Do you know what happened?"

Seeing Jiang Yihong shaking his head, Bian Que said strangely: "Then how do you know that Jiang Junhao put forward conditions?"

Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Jiang Yihong said: "Jiang Junhao is a hypocrite, and he will definitely not come forward as a guarantee for no reason. ”

Bian Que had no choice but to say them one by one, and the more he said it, the more he turned pale: "The tax and tribute of the Bata Department have been doubled this year, so as to atone for the sin." Zhensha offends the tribal alliance and deserves death, unless ......"

"Unless what?" Jiang Yihong seemed to have expected something, just waiting for a definite answer.

Bian Que took away the small medicine, but it turned out to be his magic weapon.

Then he said word by word: "Unless Zhensha and Jiang Junhao are concubines!" Zhensha naturally refused, and the patriarch also interceded on the grounds that her identity was not worthy of Jiang Junhao. But Jiang Junhao insisted on expressing that he had admired Zhensha for a long time. ”

"It's the first time he's seen Zhensha, and he's a fart. Bian Que has always been gentle, but he said rudely, and said hatefully, "Zhensha was very angry and said that it was okay to marry her, but she must be married to the main family." But do you know how the upper part of Jiupi responded?"

Jiang Yihong was silent, and his face was also pale.

Bian Que continued: "Jiang Weichong in the upper part of Jiupi, that is, the cousin of the Jiang League Master, said that Zhensha is not even qualified to be a concubine. The patriarch was also short-tempered when he was young, and for the sake of the overall situation of the Bata Ministry, he was stunned on the spot, and in order not to let Zhensha be humiliated, he was willing to double this year's tax tribute. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yihong trembled with anger, and the initiator was himself. He knew that if the tax and tribute were doubled, the Bata tribe would be greatly damaged, and even collapse from this year onwards.

At that time, the Bata Department will no longer have the strength to control the lower part, and it will inevitably gradually become the lower part like the previous Qianduo Department, unable to keep the sacred tree and status, and even end up in an even more bleak end.

Bian Que was emotional: "Everyone knows that for thousands of years, the strength of the upper part of Jiupi, who has been in charge of the management of the tribal alliance, is unpredictable, and the affairs of the tribal alliance are not up to them. The tax tribute to the tribal alliance was doubled, and it was even more humiliating. But the patriarch couldn't help it, if the upper part of Jiupi wanted to knead the Bata department, no one dared to say much. ”

"If the patriarch moved out of the words of the five thousand years ago, the person who instructed the totem tribe not to use internal strife to exterminate the species, and the totem tribe itself as a corner of the cultivator must not interfere with the intervention, if anyone is disrespectful, the person holding the guide will be punished on his behalf. Jiang Weichong was furious, not only did he want Zhensha to stay in the upper part of Jiupi as a slave, but also injured the patriarch, who was still breathing a sigh of relief, and the elixir could not alleviate his injuries. ”

Speaking of this, Bian Que was surprisingly angry, suddenly looked at Jiang Yihong, and roared in pain: "I don't mean to blame you. But do you know what the price of the Bata tribe paid in the end? Ignoring everyone's objections, the woman said that she was the oldest and could speak in place of the patriarch, and expressed her willingness on the spot to increase the tax tribute to the tribal alliance this year to five times!"

"Fivefold, it is equivalent to giving up the development within the Bata tribe!, but the patriarch acquiesced to the decision of the concubine at that time. Later, two people came forward, and Zhensha was able to escape. ”

"I didn't expect a matter to develop into such serious consequences, and now the concubine and Zhensha think that they have become sinners for the ages. ”

Bian Que didn't say any more, his fists were already clenched and his palms were oozing blood.

Humiliation!

Jiang Yihong calmed down instead, he knew that anger was useless, only reason was right at the moment: "Which two people came forward?"

Bian Que replied: "Old Ghost Qin, one of the top ten masters of the Eastern Continent's merger period, suddenly appeared in the totem tribe and asked for a traceable fruit, and also came forward to ensure that the upper part of Jiupi would not embarrass the Bata Department, and his face Jiang Weichong still gave it. It is said that the other person is the big leader of the lower part of Qianduo, LinkedIn Yingniang, but Yingniang did not show up, Jiang Weifan instead came forward to mediate, as long as the tax tribute given by the Bata Department to the tribal alliance this year is increased to five times, Zhensha can be spared. ”

"Rationally speaking, we should abandon Chasa and keep the foundation of the Bata tribe. But are the sons and daughters of the Bata tribe greedy for life and afraid of death? But, is it worth it?" After leaving the words, Bian Que also left in a very bad mood.

The implication is that is the importance of this assertiveness and so-called dignity, or is it the long-term development of the Bata Ministry?

Moreover, five times the tax tribute, all the strength of the poor Bata tribe, could not be gathered.

The murderous and heart-wrenching of the upper part of Jiupi, and the five-fold tax tribute have already changed the minds of the people in the Jin, outside and lower parts under the jurisdiction of the Bata Ministry, and they are about to be shaken.

Under such a situation, the upper part of Bata is worried about internal and external troubles, where to go?

After Bian Que left, Jiang Yihong's eyes were cold, and he thought, Yingniang was able to let Jiang Weifan's dignified alliance leader come forward to mediate, and Qin Lao Ghost, as a cultivator, was one of the top ten masters of the Eastern Continent's merger period, and he also openly appeared in the totem tribe regardless of the rules, both of which were unexpected.

And Jiang Junhao put the Bata Department to death, and also specifically targeted Zhensha, obviously investigating the attitude of the Bata Department and Zhensha towards Jiang Yihong. Jiang Weichong, as Jiang Junhao's father, collected so many yin souls from the magic weapon folding fan, and it can be seen that he also connived and spoiled his son at the expense of destroying the Bata Department. Even the Bata Division is one of the Ninety-Nine Upper Divisions, but in the Upper Nineteen Divisions, it is not the same.

The fuse of all this is Jiang Yihong himself.

Yingniang has had a few encounters with herself, but she really can't understand the reason why she came forward, and she can only vaguely guess that she may have seen through the secret of her visitors from outside the world, and also saw the origin of her totem bloodline.

Old Ghost Qin himself has never seen it, and the only connection is Old Demon Qin and Old Monster Qin. What maintains these is suspected of Jiang Wei, that is, Jiang Yihong's possible connection with his father.

And Old Ghost Qin asked for the tracing fruit, since he could get it in person, why did he send his two apprentices over to ask for it? And why did he let his two apprentices 'kidnap' Jiang Weifan's youngest daughter Jiang Xiaoshuang?

Old Ghost Qin appeared in person, which may mean that it is suspected that Jiang Yihong and his father Jiang Wei are the ones who need to trace the source. In this case, it means that his father may not be in danger of his life.

And Jiang Junhao's targeting of Bata and Zhensha is most likely because he wants to take revenge on Jiang Yihong.

Under all kinds of connections, Jiang Yihong went through his thoughts and said to himself with a little deep meaning: "The pattern is confusing, and it is becoming more and more interesting." If you want to disrupt the pattern, then the changes in the totem tribe will start from the Bata Department. Jiang Junhao, you wait, I will accompany you to have a good time. The upper part of the nine, since Yingniang can mediate with a few people from the lower part, there must be a way of check and balance between the upper part of the ninety-nine. ”

After more than half an hour, Jiang Yihong picked up the Xun on the ground, stroked it, and remembered his mother, that is, Cheng's mother, who had been a music teacher.

Xun is one of Cheng Ma's favorite musical instruments, and because of this, Jiang Yihong is also quite talented in playing Xun.

Slowly put Xun to his lips, Xu is what he felt today, it hit his heart, Jiang Yihong couldn't help but play a song.

Deep, sad, mournful, endless, its voice is turbid and noisy, the sound is sad and quiet.

The lonely shadow of the cold river, the old people of the rivers and lakes, why should we have met before.

Zhensha in the thatched hut stood with her back to the door, and it turned out that Xun was able to play so sentimentally.

As the head of the music department herself, Zhensha heard that every part of the rhythm of Jiang Yihong's blowing was expressed, and it was the confession of Batabu's encounter with herself.

Suddenly, Zhensha was already in tears, and she couldn't cry: "Prophet, patriarch, concubine, in order to protect him, you bet on the entire Bata tribe, whether you are wrong or right, Zhensha just wants to defend him without regrets!"
