Jiang Yunqi did not see Zhang Sixi as he wished. It was not until early the next morning that Zhang Sixi hurried back to the shop and woke up Jiang Yunqi, who had just fallen asleep in the early morning and was dozing off.
"Uncle Sixi, you asked me to come back and you weren't here. What happened?"
Jiang Yunqi looked sleepy and asked with a yawn. According to his plan, he would sleep until he woke up naturally. If Zhang Sixi hadn't come back yet, he would go to the second master to take orders. Since the death of his senior brother Chen Xin, the second master had no manpower. There was a shortage, so Jiang Yunqi, who didn't go there often, often went to help.
Although a spirit-level monk named Meng Kun came to help, Jiang Yunqi looked at the guy with his nostrils pointing up in the sky, and he didn't look very reliable. According to Wei Zhe, the guy worked all to save the betrothal gift, and he had to pay for the betrothal gift himself. Damn, shouldn’t a master care about these things? Or does it mean that he doesn’t have a master?
"follow me."
Zhang Sixi's expression was serious, and his tone was obviously different from his usual friendly tone, which disrupted Jiang Yunqi's whirling reverie. He led the way from the back door of the shop to a secluded back street. After walking for half a stick of incense, he turned into a From the narrow alley, we arrived at a house closed by an old black wooden door.
After lightly knocking on the door, a hunchbacked old man covered by a burqa appeared and quietly led the two of them into the inner house. When Jiang Yunqi sat down, the hunchbacked old man suddenly knelt down.
"Master, this old slave is polite."
Um?
Jiang Yunqi was startled, but when he saw the old man unbuttoning his gray hood, revealing a severely burned and pitted face, he was startled. He couldn't help but subconsciously leaned back and hit the rough and cold wall.
"Hiss" Jiang Yunqi felt pain, "You are"
"This old slave is Xiao Jin."
"Uncle Jin?" Hearing this name, Jiang Yunqi woke up as if from a dream, and immediately connected it with the impression in his memory. He saw that the figure of the person kneeling in the hall was indeed similar to Uncle Jin, but he was weaker and thinner.
"It's the old slave." He raised his head, revealing a blood-red and black face, with pits and bulging blood vessels, and a horrifying face, but his eyes were shining with joy, which reminded Jiang Yunqi of the kindness of Uncle Jin. The smile comes.
"Sure enough," Jiang Yunqi was no longer afraid, and quickly stood up and pulled Uncle Jin up, "Uncle Jin, it's great that you are still alive!"
"It's no different from death. The old slave scared the young master, right?" Xiao Jin chuckled with a hoarse voice. Half of his teeth fell out for some unknown reason and his speech was a little unclear. "I can see the young master again in my lifetime, old slave." I feel deeply relieved, and it is worthy of the master's entrustment." With his hand covered with burn scars, he took out a blue cloth package from his arms.
"If I can give this to the young master, Xiao Jin can rest in peace."
"What is this?" Jiang Yunqi took the package, pulled Xiao Jin to his seat, asked him to sit down, and then unfolded the package. Inside was a gray-yellow scroll.
"Star Shattering Spear Technique?"
Jiang Yunqi recognized this thing. It was an heirloom of the Shan family. It had been hidden at home since his great-grandfather obtained it and left behind his legacy. Although this skill can be practiced by any monk, it can only be practiced by being promoted to the prefecture level. Precious earth-level skills. However, for four generations, the Shan family has not been able to have an earth-level monk born. Therefore, this earth-level skill has been shelved until the news spread like wildfire, leaked out, attracting covetousness, and Yanqiling fell into chaos. On this occasion, it actually led to the disaster of annihilation.
Originally, Jiang Yunqi didn't understand these principles, but after following his second master for a long time and being very clever, he already understood these simple and easy-to-understand principles.
"The so-called sin of having a jade is that it caused disaster to the Shan family."
Jiang Yunqi held the "Broken Star Spear Technique" in his hand and said nothing for a long time, "If there was no such thing, maybe... it would be different." He did not vent his grievances on the meaningless scroll, but
Picking it up again, a silver light suddenly appeared between his fingers, and he had already used it.
The Shan family has been wiped out, and there is no longer any need to follow those weird rules that lead to chaos.
"Master, you must avenge me!"
"I will definitely do it, don't worry, Uncle Jin." Jiang Yunqi's eyes were blazing, and countless thoughts gathered together. He had lived in Donghu County for a long time. As time passed, the old grudges were thinned out like residual blood and disappeared. But at this moment, it seemed that in his eyes
Countless figures emerged one after another, and those voices, faces, and smiles lingered in his heart again, unable to go away.
I seem a bit wasted.
He had to work hard, he made up his mind.
…………
Qianshan Sect, Dayi County, garrison.
Jiang Feng carefully tasted the spirit tea presented by guard Shen Junmao. It is said that this is a specialty produced in Xiatang Town, Chui Gong City, Yufeng Sect. Although it is not well-known and has very little aura, the taste is excellent.
There is quite a market among ordinary people.
It has to be said that Dayi County Governor Shen Junmao is a person who enjoys life. Compared with the low-keyness of Nuangu County Governor Li Youde and the frugality of Donghu County Governor Zhou Xing, the furnishings of Shen Junmao's garrison are obviously beyond the normal level.
However, Jiang Feng was quite satisfied after briefly looking at his closely recorded political achievements. He praised and encouraged him a few times, but did not care about his large expenses. After all, it is normal for people who can make money to spend some.
, we can’t all be destitute, right? Just as the strategy described by Shen Junmao, such decoration, such style, and such taste can form a harmonious and win-win situation with the surrounding towns.
What he said made sense, and Jiang Feng was speechless. Although he couldn't understand it, and there was no need to understand it, earning spiritual stones was a real deal. Jiang Feng also knew that after the sect's livelihood was resolved, he needed to start from a higher level.
Focusing on everything, for example, with these spiritual stones, how to make the best use of them, build the sect better and better, cultivate more higher-level monks, and then become one of the strongest sects in the vicinity, and then spend more time
Spend more time and remove the word "one". Of course, in the process, he will also get feedback from the sect and become a strong person.
Therefore, Jiang Feng turned the page and brought the topic to Qiu Zhenzhen, a female cultivator whom he could not see through. She had previously put forward two inexplicable conditions:
First, she wants to join the Asan Mountain Sect and serve as the governor of Beimu County. The salary is the same as that of other town guards. She will work hard to increase the income related to secular affairs in Beimu County. The previous research is for
Prepare for this position;
Secondly, because she saved Jiang Feng in Yuanqiao Town of Chixia Sect, she asked Jiang Feng to promise her as the leader and give her a chance to avoid punishment after making a mistake, or simply give her twenty third-level coins. She felt that the leader
Your life should be worth this money.
Strange conditions.
Qiu Zhenzhen really saved himself. Under the circumstances at that time, if the two coachmen really confessed truthfully, he would have to fight to the death to escape, or use "The Shadow of a Flash" to escape, which meant that even if he was detected Chixiamen's secrets will also be exposed due to fighting, which will arouse Chixiamen's vigilance.
However, twenty third-level coins are absolutely impossible. It is okay to join the Qianshan Sect. Although a Xuan-level monk has a mediocre character and only has spiritual stones in his eyes, he can still consider working for the Qianshan Sect. After all, I was not a casual cultivator before, and I had never heard of any other bad behavior.
Therefore, Jiang Feng only agreed to her request to join the Qianshan Sect and get a gold medal for immunity, wondering what kind of trouble she could make?
"Master, your wife is naturally very suitable for this position. I have discussed the development of Beimu County with her before, and her ideas are good. Since the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce..."
"Stop!" Jiang Feng caught a strange word, "What did you call her?"
"Madam of the head, ah, is there anything wrong with this?" Shen Junmao paused, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he seemed to understand, "Oh, I forgot, the head wanted to leave the position of the head wife to change his identity. It would be great if you are the right person. With the leader here, our Qianshan Sect will definitely develop greatly. The candidate for your head wife really needs to be carefully considered."
Madam of the head...
Jiang Feng murmured, and he suddenly remembered that Qiu Zhenzhen defrauded Changning Chamber of Commerce Dou Jinqiu's spiritual stone in Donghu County, and instantly understood the purpose of Qiu Zhenzhen's second condition. This guy, when he was not in the Qianshan Sect, Have you been pretending to be the wife of the head of the family?
Damn it!
Smelly... Jiang Feng almost cursed!
A long-lasting anger suddenly ignited in his heart, and he cursed all the dirty words he could think of in his heart, but still could not resolve his resentment, but he looked up and saw Shen Junmao with a clear and understanding expression, "I understand, I understand. With an expression that all men understand, she suddenly realized that it was not appropriate to get angry. Could it be that people knew that someone pretended to be the head's wife and deceived everyone in the clan for more than a month? According to Qiu Zhenzhen's character, she had probably already said this Now that the incident has become public knowledge, denying it categorically at this time will achieve nothing except losing your prestige and humiliating yourself.
This matter couldn't be handled this way. He had to think of a way to resolve the matter, but what to do? He didn't have a suitable way at the moment. This Qiu Zhenzhen was simply a weirdo with such a brain!
It has to be said that Qiu Zhenzhen successfully used his own kind heart. Otherwise, he could have found a way to make her disappear here. That would be a complete solution with the least impact. Now, since he can't commit murder, he can only first Try your best to avoid the impact of this incident and wait until you return to Luochuan before making plans.
"All Qiu Zhenzhen's requests must be approved by me before he can help." In order to avoid additional losses, Jiang Feng immediately warned guard Shen Junmao.
"Yes, the leader can distinguish between public and private affairs, and his subordinates admire him."
"..."
Jiang Feng thought to himself that he should change the topic quickly, otherwise you will be too crazy. If I don't clarify this matter, it will only further prove the identity of Qiu Zhenzhen's wife.
Speaking of his identity, he suddenly remembered the old story of his succession to the head of the family. He had not yet asked the guard Shen Junmao about it. As the leader of the three original families, the patriarch of the "Baiguo Snake Lotus" family, and the ninth generation leader Ren I took away five people and injured four, three of whom were from the Shen family. He must know the secret, and I will definitely explain it.
"Do you remember the incident when Master Ren entertained guests from the Huati Sect, which resulted in the death of the disciples of the sect for no reason?"
"Vatti Gate?"
When Shen Junmao heard this word, his eyes trembled. Obviously, he could not easily forget the death of three Shen family members. The decline of the Qianshan Sect's talents was not something that only happened after Jiang Feng took over as the head. But since the sixth generation of the head, the decline has been obvious. Three monks are not a small number for the "Hundred Fruit Snake Lotus" family.
"I remember that when the leader Ren took someone away but didn't bring him back, I went to question him. He just told me that I didn't have to look for him anymore. The person was already dead. Naturally, I wasn't satisfied. So he said that he would wait until he left the chaos. When Shi Hai came back, he made further calculations, so he erected a tomb, but unfortunately nothing happened later."
"However, one afternoon half a month later, I still remember that it was a cloudy day. I happened to go to Puxian Temple to pay homage to my father, but I met a person who scared me half to death. It was Jiang Kaiji, one of the previous travelers who had passed away. .”
"Is he still alive?" Jiang Feng was shocked. This matter was not reflected in Yue Xishan's diary, nor in the records of the Qianshan Sect. Even Jiang Hai, a member of the "Seven Treasure Gourd" family, did not know.
"Looking at his condition, he should be alive and seems to have had some opportunities."
"Why didn't he return to the sect?"
"I also asked him, but he didn't answer. He just said he would come back and have a look, and he would go to the Northern Wilderness. He also asked me to swear an oath with the spirit of the black snake not to reveal this matter to anyone."
"You can't beat him?" Before Jiang Feng succeeded to the throne, Shen Junmao was already a Xuan-level monk, while Jiang Kaiji was only a Spirit-level monk. "And, didn't you make a vow?"
"I have nothing to do with the Black Snake Spirit." Shen Junmao said with a smile, "Thanks to the leader, you came to the rescue. Although he and I have not fought, his aura is far beyond what I can match. "
It turned out that there was something like this. Jiang Feng thought for a moment and asked a few more questions, but there were no more useful details. When he went to Beihuang, he felt strange in his heart. What was there in Beihuang? Jiang Kaiji seemed to be a true spiritual saint. What did he get from everywhere to become stronger, and why was he ordered to go to the Northern Wilderness?
With such questions, Jiang Feng left the town guard's mansion and soon arrived at the flower shop "Hua Yuxuan" owned by the maid Zheng Keyi. Seeing Jiang Feng's arrival, Zheng Keyi was overjoyed. After giving the waiter a few words, she went to the back hall and settled Jiang Feng. Serving Ling Tea and Ling Guo, compared with more than a month ago, the furnishings here have increased a lot, and there are heart-warming details everywhere. It can be seen that Zheng Keyi has put his heart into it. She lightly closed the bead curtain and leaned against it. come over.
We meet again after a long absence, time flies by.
After noon, the maid Zheng Keyi prepared some light seasonal vegetables and wildebeest milk. The latter is a specialty produced in Yema Town, Chuigong City of the Yufeng Sect. It is said to have miraculous tonic effects on monks and laypeople. She also reported all the clues from the recent audit to Jiang Feng, along the way, had no time to pay attention to the rise in material prices. Combined with the prototype of the monks' battle formation seen in Yuanqiao Town, Chixiamen, Jiang Feng had a faint feeling that there might be a new war quietly brewing.
However, the size of the scale and the parties involved in the war are unknown, but it seems that the Qianshan Sect must respond early this time. As for participating in the battle, the Qianshan Sect is not qualified to fight on the battlefield, and Jiang Feng does not want to throw away the "sect" rashly. This sign is "Protected from Attack During the Legal Protection Period".
But careful precautions, especially the personal safety of members of the sect, are still necessary. He has learned from the guard Shen Junmao about the previous attack suspected to be planned by Chixiamen. Of course, from the outside, this is just an attack. Naturally, the Chixia Sect will not leave any evidence to themselves when loose cultivators cause chaos. Even if there is, without the participation of monks above the Xuan level, they can evade it by saying that it is a personal act and has nothing to do with the sect.
Jiang Feng didn't want to take revenge, at least not yet. The time had not come yet and the Qianshan Sect was not powerful enough. However, he had evidence of the Chixia Sect's monks' battle formations. If given to the right force, it might have some miraculous effects.
Putting aside these problems that could not be solved for the time being, Jiang Feng handed a "Building Phase and Energizing Qi Pill" to Zheng Keyi and told her to take it carefully. This magical aid pill obtained from the prefecture-level monk Mu Qianxue can help Zheng Keyi. Only in this way can her body withstand the next round of "phase separation" and awaken as a monk.
The remaining one may be used for other purposes in the future.
Jiang Feng planned to identify the magic weapons obtained from the ruins first. Li Zong Zhenwu City was also an option, but he wanted to have some chips in his hand before returning to Luochuan to deal with some issues that he wanted to solve before returning. The problem.
…………
Li Zong, Zhenwu City.
Ni Dabao was sitting in the shop, sipping spiritual tea leisurely, thinking about how to save the construction expenses of Beimu County, or finding ways to submit more reasonable budgets to the peak, but suddenly he felt a gloomy wind coming from around him. He subconsciously stepped back, and a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Just judging by his breath and speed, he knew that he was no match for him. Just as he was about to call for help from the earth-level monk Liao Shenchang, the figure hidden in the gray robe suddenly reached out and blocked another pair of hands that appeared out of thin air. , none other than Liao Shenchang.
