After digging out three magma fountains, Wang Liang and the others finally came out through a formation hole.
By the way, while Yan Bing and Chu Danshan were not paying attention, Wang Liang took the high-quality spiritual stone in the eye of the formation and put it into the Najie.
'With such a large formation, there will definitely be no problem if one missing spirit stone is missing... Well, no problem.'
The system's voice then sounded, and digging magma and carrying high-quality spiritual stones were also tasks it issued.
The three of them walked southward.
Although Yan Bing is already a cultivator in the Qi Sea Realm, he can fly in the air, which is many times faster than traveling on two legs.
But there are also Wang Liang and Chu Danshan (of course, Wang Liang is pretending, he will never expose his Qi Sea Realm cultivation.)
If you take two people to fly in the air, the energy consumption will be very large. For Yan Bing, who is in the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm, it is a bit difficult to lead people to fly in the air for a long distance.
So the three of them decided to walk. Anyway, with the practitioner's physique and speed, the journey of hundreds of miles would not take more than a few days.
However, just half a day into their journey, they encountered something.
There are three cities, nine counties and eighteen mountains in Jiangnan Prefecture.
The location of the underground spiritual pool is seven hundred miles away from the Yuxu Sect, including six counties out of the nine.
Within the nine counties, the Xu family dominates. As mentioned before, the Xu family is the richest family in Jiangnan Prefecture.
In particular, the current head of the Xu family holds a high position and is the governor of the nine counties of Jiangnan Prefecture personally appointed by the emperor of the current Dingzhou Dynasty.
It can be said that the nine counties are all under the control of the Xu family, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the Xu family is the local emperor in the nine counties!
At this time, the county town that Wang Liang and the others passed through was called Fuze County.
But when you enter the county, what you see is that the land is full of hungry people and the people are in dire straits. How can there be any scene of blessing all the people?
"Big brother, big sister, please do me a favor and give me some food..."
A girl who didn't look like she was in her early teens came over on her knees in ragged clothes and stretched out her hands weakly to beg.
Chu Danshan felt compassion and took out some food from Qiankun bag.
But before it was handed to the girl, a group of ragged people suddenly swarmed from behind, frantically grabbing the food.
These people went crazy for this bite of food. It was Yan Bing who pulled the two of them back quickly, so they were not overwhelmed by the crowd of people.
Seeing this scene, Chu Danshan's eyes turned red and he said with a trembling voice;
"How, how could this happen? How could there be such a barren place in the illustrious Jiangnan Province..."
Chu Danshan, who was admitted as a disciple of the Danxia Sect due to his extremely high talent since he was a child, has no understanding of the sufferings of the people.
He was naive, and until today, he had always thought that everyone in Jiangnan Prefecture could have enough food and clothing, and no worries about food and clothing like himself.
Yan Bing turned back to a cold voice and said: "I have long heard that the Xu family, as a family of officials, has not benefited the common people. Instead, it is greedy and has been plundering people's wealth all year round."
"However, I still didn't expect that the nine counties have been exploited by the Xu family to such an extent. At least this county is already terminally ill..."
When Wang Liang saw the scene before him, he felt sympathy for the people who were struggling to get a bite of food.
However, he knew that as he was now, he did not have the ability to take care of these things.
It is obvious that my life is unsatisfactory, but I am so prejudiced against the sufferings in this world. Are there not many similar things like this, whether in the past life or this life?
Only when you are truly strong can you change everything.
And before you become stronger, staying alive is the only truth.
After thinking for a while, Wang Liang said: "These people are really pitiful... but even if we take out all the food we have, it won't be enough for them to have a full meal."
"And if we can help them for a while, how can we help them for a lifetime? So we still..."
Wang Liang was about to suggest leaving quickly when the system suddenly appeared;
[Ding! The Zhu family’s wine and meat are stinky, and there are frozen bones on the road. Please host justice, open the granary of the county governor’s house, and help the people of the county. 】
[Completion reward: Talisman Drawing 1]
'Okay, something is going to happen again...' Wang Liang sighed helplessly, but his appearance suddenly became righteous;
"So we still have to think of ways to keep these people fed for a long time."
"How about this? Let's go and open the granary of this county governor's house and help the people of this county!"
Upon hearing this proposal, Chu Danshan nodded in agreement without any hesitation. With his simple temper, he would not think too much at all.
Yan Bing hesitated for a moment and then said: "No matter what, this is the land of the Nine Counties and the territory of the Xu family."
"Especially the governors of each county. It can be said that they are all retainers of the Xu family. If you touch them, you will undoubtedly be an enemy of the Xu family."
"As disciples of various sects, if we act without authorization, there may be something wrong with us..."
Yan Bing's nature does sympathize with the weak, but after all, she still cares about her missing adoptive father, and she only wants to return to Yuxu Sect as soon as possible, find the cloaked man, and regain the Shenxing cloak.
So she didn't want to get involved in other matters, especially openly opposing the Xu family, which would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Chu Danshan was not happy when he heard this: "What's wrong with doing something to save people? If you are afraid, Brother Wang and I will do it!"
Seeing that there were differences of opinion, Wang Liang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, what I said about finding a way is to think of a way that can have both ends."
"We can open a warehouse to release grain to save the people of a county, and at the same time, the Xu family can't find out that we did it. This is considered appropriate."
Yan Bing looked at Wang Liang in slight surprise; "Tell me and listen."
Wang Liang coughed lightly and explained the plan in his heart: "Let's do this first...then we'll do this...and finally we'll do this..."
On the other side, inside the Fuze County Sheriff's Mansion.
County Governor Xu Wang is a descendant of the ancestors of the Xu family. In terms of seniority, he should be regarded as the uncle of Xu Renfei and Xu Renxiang.
However, the Xu family has grown many branches and leaves since its ancestors. After several generations, there have been countless descendants of the common people.
Therefore, after several generations, most of these descendants of concubines became servants of the Xu family, and only a few capable ones could gain some status within the family.
Xu Wang is one of the few, and being able to become the head of this county is enough to prove his ability.
But even so, he did not dare to call himself the uncle of Xu Renfei and Xu Renxiang. The difference between direct concubine and concubine was especially obvious in the Xu family.
"Hurry up! Call all cultivators above the Qi Sea realm in the county and go to the Duan family in Chaohe City in three days to seek justice for the second young master!"
Xu Wang gave the order, looking indignant on the outside, but actually making a calculation in his heart;
'The eldest young master of the Duan family actually sent someone to kill that boy Xu Renxiang. I have to take the opportunity to show off.'
'I heard that the others haven't done anything yet, so it seems that I have to be the one to do this. If I perform well this time, I might be able to be transferred back to my job.'
'Those timid little fellows, seeing that my family didn't do anything, they all lay down in their nests and didn't dare to move.'
'I know the situation of the Duan family well. Duan Feng has been missing for so long, so there is nothing to be afraid of!'
'Just wait until I make the first move, transfer back to my family, and make them envious, hehehehehe...'
