At this time, the evil reputation of Lin Fengjin and his gang had completely spread throughout Xirong.
Whether it was the Xirong court, the Legalists, or even the Queen Mother of the West who kept a low profile, they all treated them as if they were nothing. To these three major forces, they treated Lin Fengjin and his gang as if they were gods of plague.
, as long as they don’t do anything excessive, or even do something excessive but it doesn’t involve their vital interests, then they can turn a blind eye.
Among these three parties, the court of Xirong only lost a few hundred soldiers, and it doesn't matter if the loss was ten times worse.
Legalists have suffered more losses, but who is at the helm of Legalists? Han Zi, this reincarnation of Demon Lord Jialuo can be said to be extremely cold-hearted and vicious. For him, as long as he does not suffer losses, no matter how many minions die, it will not matter.
You will be heartbroken, and you will make wiser choices.
The worst losses were caused by the Queen Mother of the West, the Water King, the Fire King, and even Yuan Hao, the most important chess piece in the political situation of Xirong, all died at the hands of Lin Fengjin. Not only that, the Queen Mother of the West was severely injured and went into seclusion.
Lin Fengjin has a very direct connection!
Therefore, after the fall of the Water King, the Queen Mother of the West immediately felt something. This time they paid enough attention to Lin Fengjin. After spending money on sacrifices and divination, they found that the statue of the Queen Mother of the West was flowing.
There was such a bad omen as blood and tears! Under such circumstances, the group of people immediately fell silent, scared out of their wits, and no longer dared to take any action.
But this is also normal. If an old monster like the Queen Mother of the West has no ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil, how can she survive to this day?
At this time, Lin Fengjin himself was the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha, and he still carried a sacred weapon like Nephalem that inherited the fate of the Buddha. He was also surrounded by terrifying strongmen like Zhu Jiuyin.
If you don't use the method, it can almost be said that you can definitely divine and get a very clear result, that is, never mess with them, whoever touches them will die!
Therefore, even if Lin Fengjin and the others caused a volcano to erupt, and people were angry, they would still march swaggering, and no one would disturb their journey, because the forces in Xirong buried their heads in the sand.
Being like ostriches and hoping that both parties will not conflict with each other is the only thing they can do.
Two or three days later, Lin Fengjin and the others had arrived at a village in the northeast of Xirong. This place was called Mogan Village. It was already at the junction of grassland and desert, and the plants that could grow there were relatively few. There were four seasons throughout the year.
Among them, it is probably the two or three months between spring and summer when the surrounding vegetation can support livestock grazing.
The reason why the village can still exist in such a barren mountainous area is because there is a fairly large salt pond in the desert eighty miles away from the village, and it produces the highest quality green salt.
As we all know, when transportation was underdeveloped, salt was always included in strategic material reserves like food, and could even be used directly as currency. For no other reason than this thing has
The nature of “necessary consumables”.
Therefore, although the environment of this village is very harsh, it is quite prosperous to guard such a veritable "treasure bowl", and no one is willing to give up.
And the extremely dangerous place that the great witch talked about is located in the northwest of the salt pond.
The eighty-mile distance from Yanchi to Moganzhai is just a straight line. In fact, when walking, the actual distance is at least two hundred miles. Why do you say this?
This is because although the Salt Pond is located in the desert, it seems that you can walk in a straight line. However, there is a lot of quicksand in the desert, and a lot of the quicksand is moving, so the only outcome of walking in a straight line is to fall into the quicksand and drown.
The activity of quicksand is also differentiated by seasons, and the terrain here is weird. The peak period of quicksand activity can last for ten months or even the whole year every year! Once the peak period of quicksand occurs, at that time, the only way to get salt from the salt pond is
, we must pass through this dangerous place called "Dami'ao". Only at least a hundred young and middle-aged people can pass through at noon. There must be sunlight! Otherwise, they will die without a burial, even if this is the case.
, there are often unlucky people who are blinded by ghosts and stay inside forever.
However, if you choose to pass through "Dami Au", then there are two major advantages. First, you don't have to worry about quicksand all year round. Second, if you pass through Dami Au, it is a shortcut, at least.
The distance traveled can be shortened by less than half, only one hundred and ten miles.
There is no cost to transport salt from this salt pond. Large chunks of green salt can be carved into salt bricks with a few clicks of a chisel. You can do whatever you want. One load (one horse or mule) can be used to the maximum capacity.
(consignment volume) salt goods are transported out of it. If you want to save trouble, you can do it in Moganzhai, and you can sell it for thirty taels of silver. It takes some effort to transport it to Pingzhou, a distribution center two hundred miles away.
Forty taels upwards, even fifty taels is enough during the salt shortage.
If we can get some salt out of it, people from small households will not be short of chewing bread for at least three years, and they can eat delicious and spicy food every day.
If you want to do business, this money can be used as capital, and you can also rent a storefront and start a decent boss.
It is precisely because of this that wine makes people's faces red and money moves people's hearts. Anyone who dares to come to this remote place to work hard is either a desperado with his head on his crotch with a knife on his head, or he is so poor that he is miserable. Haha, these people
Apart from one life, there is nothing to lose, so there should not be too many people who take desperate risks.
After Lin Fengjin and others arrived at Mogan Village, what impressed them most was not that it was so shabby, but that there was a mysterious atmosphere here from beginning to end. Everyone walking on the street wore brown or red colors.
He covered his face with a scarf, and used something like black charcoal to draw some weird earthworm-like patterns on his face. Even when he spoke, he was covering his face, making loud noises with caution.
And those strange patterns that look like earthworms can be seen everywhere. There is a round mirror hanging on the door of every house, and there is also a fierce portrait on it, which should be similar to the door god. There are also small papers hanging on the windows.
Strange things about people.
Then Lin Fengjin and the others walked into an inn with a green flag. The light inside was dim, and they were greeted by a hot and stuffy smell that could almost stun people on the spot. The door of the inn was facing the place.
There is a very conspicuous shrine. The shrine is not dedicated to the God of Wealth like other places, but to a three-headed fierce god with a green face and fangs. It is gray and has a lot of brown marks, which should be dried chicken blood.
Why does Lin Fengjin know so clearly? Because there are at least seven or eight shriveled chicken heads tied with hemp rope hanging at the feet of the fierce god. They are swaying slightly when the wind blows, and they are knocked "shell-like" on the wooden board next to them.
"The sound.
The big witch was obviously very familiar with this place, and immediately told Lin Fengjin that the earthworm-like patterns that could be seen everywhere were the ghost-expelling talismans in witchcraft. Of course, in his eyes, this thing was completely
It makes no sense. The door god posted on the door and the statue of the god worshiped should be the rumored fierce god Zhu Mo. Its prototype should be the "Great Dark Sky" deduced from Buddhist Tantric Buddhism. Its function is the same as that worshiped by the Han people.
Similar to "Zhong Kui".
At this time, the inn was already crowded with people. As soon as Lin Fengjin and the others came in, they saw a wild boar with ferocious, exploring, and greedy eyes. They looked over and saw that there were only three of them, and the wild boar was still in its untransformed state.
With a skinny appearance, Lin Fengjin is still a young scholar in his twenties, and some of his eyes even emit a faint greedy green light, just like the eyes of a wolf seeing blood.
If he were an ordinary businessman, he might have been frightened by this battle and become a little unable to sit still. However, the wild boar and the big witch were obviously no longer familiar with such battles. The wild boar looked around carelessly and directly
He walked over to the table with the best position, and then slapped the fierce man sitting in front of him on the shoulder.
The fierce man was wearing an animal skin jacket. The muscles on his body were smooth and shiny, as if they were made of steel. He was also very tall and strong. As the saying goes, he was a character who could run a horse with his fists. See
When the wild boar was like this, he immediately snorted and stood up.
As soon as this fierce man stood up, even the beams of the hotel suddenly seemed half shorter. This was before he stood up completely. Most of the people sitting in the inn were not good people and were eager to have fun.
Look, I immediately felt that a blood-splattered scene might happen in the next second.
However, the development of things surprised them.
After the wild boar, who looked like a small and lonely man, gave a real slap, the man called the barbarian bull suddenly felt as if his shoulder had hit a boulder or a mountain. He couldn't even straighten his waist. In an instant, his forehead was swollen.
The cold sweat rolled down directly.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the bones and joints on the bull's body making "crackling" sounds. It was obvious that he was resisting with all his strength, but it was still to no avail. After the slap on his shoulder, he actually
It was suppressed slowly, bit by bit, and there was no room for resistance at all.
However, after Man Niu was pressed back on the stool, the matter was not over yet. The wild boar's hand was still pressing down hard, and Man Niu let out a painful roar from his mouth, and the stool under his butt also "popped"
There was a crisp sound, a cracking sound that was simply overwhelming, and it was completely broken. Manniu collapsed directly to the ground, as if he had collapsed.
At this time, the wild boar slowly withdrew his hand, looked around, and said nonchalantly:
"Waiter, where's the waiter? The stools you have here are so damn broken. They break if someone sits on them casually. Are they here to entertain guests and do business?"
When Lin Fengjin and the others came in, the waiter had a sly expression on his face, but for such a character who looked like a knives, his eyes were also the smartest, and his face changed very quickly.
Of course he knew that the broken bench could not be the so-called "broken", because the bench was made of the local specialty beech tree. The surface of the tree has a layer of pine oil-like texture, which can be said to be as if it were a piece of wood.
Thick coat of varnish.
The furniture made with this thing is strong, moth-proof, and moisture-proof, and can be used for decades at least. However, it is not fire-proof. How can it be broken by someone sitting on it!?
But when he heard the wild boar's piercing cry, the waiter immediately ran over in a fit of piss, changed his face like he was flipping through a book, and immediately said with a smile:
"Yes, yes, what I said is absolutely right. I will change the little one now."
At this time, the wild boar kicked away the pale bull that fell to the ground, and then looked sideways at the other people at the table. These people all looked very angry, and they all took out their weapons.
Weapons and other things wanted to seek justice, but their trembling hands succeeded and exposed their actual feelings.
At this time, the great witch suddenly snorted coldly, and then turned his head to look at the table next to him. Wherever he looked, a man with a hooded face and a black cloak suddenly let out a shrill scream.
, he strangled his neck with both hands, kicked his feet wildly, and slowly floated up, as if someone was strangling him by the neck and lifting him up.
The big witch's fierce eyes were like nails on his body. The man's voice suddenly became hoarse, and then a lot of white foam and blood foam overflowed from the corners of his mouth. Then the big witch said calmly:
"You've practiced the Ghost Tooth Nail to 70% heat, so you dare to take it out and embarrass yourself?"
As the big witch spoke, he saw a group of green flames suddenly burning out from the wild boar's vest, and something like an iron wire could be seen struggling in the flames, which should be what the big witch said.
The ghost teeth are nailed.
As soon as the three words "Ghost Tooth Nail" came out, the people around the wild boar immediately seemed to have heard something like a plague, and they were so frightened that they dispersed. The few people who were still bluffing against the wild boar dispersed.
, immediately turned around and ran away without saying anything. Some people even threw a dog and ate its shit. Two of its front teeth fell off without even realizing it, but it still escaped like a lost dog. In an instant, no one could be seen within a foot of the wild boar's body.
The clearing effect of this thing is really first-rate.
The wild boar reached over, grabbed the ghost tooth nail, took it in his hand and glanced at it, without saying anything, he just threw it into his mouth, chewing it until it crunched, as if chewing jelly beans.
Then he swallowed it and smacked his mouth a few times. It seemed that he was still unsatisfied and it was delicious.
At this time, the people around looked at the wild boar with the same fear and awe as if they had seen a ghost during the day!
Then the wild boar didn't bother to clean up the messy table, and tilted the table over to shake it. The leftovers on it, including the plates and other things, fell all over the floor. The wild boar conveniently dumped the food on the bull that fell on the ground.
He pulled off his waistcoat, wiped the table and the stool next to it clean, and then said respectfully to Lin Fengjin:
"Master, please."
When Lin Fengjin sat down, the wild boar casually threw five taels of silver out, rolled them on the table, and shouted impatiently:
"Secretary, come here and clean up, serve wine and food, and free up two bedrooms!"
