Wei Chengxiang seemed to be fully focused by the ants on the mountain road, and he didn't even glance at the reincarnation tree.
Autumn has entered on both sides of the Xiajiang River, the days are getting shorter, and the wind lamps on the mountain road are lit up, turning the shadows of mountains and trees into ghosts.
The huge elixir terraces are located between the mountains, but they are clearly separated from the mountains. There is only a very thin path in the south, which hangs precariously between the elixir fields and the nearest Xiangyun Peak. The two passed side by side, with cliffs on both sides, and only simple ropes and chains as fences.
Cars and livestock can't go on such a road, so they can only go on foot. After the medicine farmers collected the spirit herbs, they had to carry them down the mountain, basket by basket. They formed a group of about a dozen or twenty people, two rows parallel, the herb baskets were six or seven feet long, and they could not see their heads and feet. Everyone had hemp ropes on their hands and tied them together to prevent stepping on the air. slip.
Zhao Xidan glanced over and thought: These people are really thin.
It is not the slenderness carefully maintained by the beauties, nor the thinness of the samurai's hard training. The jagged joints of the medicine farmers support the paper-like thin skin, which seems to be pierced at any time during the swing of the machine.
Like a bunch of guilty hungry ghosts.
"Isn't it spectacular?" Wei Cheng smiled at the eldest lady, "This is the largest elixir field in the world today."
The green mine has been planted with spiritual herbs for a long time, which will interact with the herbs and gather in one place. Therefore, the small green ore field is either surrounded by a water system, or forms a small cliff, which is clearly separated from other fields. This medicine field is too big, it is a blessed place but also a dangerous place. After many earthquakes and landslides, it has become what it is now.
Zhao Xiedan opened his mouth, and wanted to ask "Even if the machine can't go up, why don't you use a fairy weapon to transport the spirit grass", but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that "why not eat minced meat", so he swallowed it again.
"Immortal artifacts need to burn spiritual stones, and magic circles to transmit spiritual stones and spiritual grasses will inevitably wear out." Wei Chengxiang said calmly, as if he knew what she was thinking, "It's not worth it, and manpower is the cheapest in comparison. "
Zhao Xiedan said: "Ordinary people can't stay around the green ore field for a long time, the spirit grass will absorb people's energy, I... the green ore fields in Dawan are planted and rested for a while, how can they last long like this day and night?"
"The body is strong enough to live to about thirty years old, that's enough," Wei Cheng said loudly, "The people of Chu State don't wait for Xuanyin Mountain's general election, and they won't delay getting married in their twenties and thirties. Four is a marriage, the previous generation is gone, and the next generation just takes over."
"What are they plotting..."
"Qianbai," Wei Cheng said, "there is no land to grow in Yujiawan. If you don't want to be a drug farmer, you can go to the moon gold-plated factory in the west to work as a laborer, and you will eat for Yu's family. A strong laborer over there is only a penny. The money in Hewan is only seven or eight hundred. The traffic here is inconvenient, and the price of food is ridiculously expensive. A stone of millet...a stone of rice costs nearly two dong. Get up and grab them all."
The young lady who doesn't know how to count didn't understand at all, let alone Chu Qian, her impression of Dawan Tongbao was only the shuttlecock he played with when she was a child. What’s so bad about the long flow of water? It’s more than half a stone of grain for a month. This is about rice and fine noodles—I know what millet is, so don’t look down on people—if it’s replaced with miscellaneous noodles and millet, it can provide three or four catties a day. How many people in the family will not be enough to eat?"
When she was a mortal at home, after the age of growing tall, she could only eat one or two taels of polished round-grained rice for a meal. Even her father would not add half a bowl of rice.
Wei Chengxiang thought she was cute and didn't bother to argue with her, so he just laughed it off.
At this time, there was a yell in the wind, Wei Chengxiang fixed his eyes, and made a "shut up" gesture to Zhao Xiaodan.
I just heard someone in the Qingkuang elixir field holding a loudspeaker and saying loudly: "Xianshan is merciful. Tao County has been attacked by evil spirits this year. I am afraid that people's lives will be disturbed. I will rush to make a batch of 'Buyuan Dan' for the people there before the Mid-Autumn Festival." Eat. The main ingredient, Mingcheng flower, is a specialty of our mountain. These days, Xianshan pays double the price for medicinal herbs. The owner is kind and let you double the money. Where can you find such a good thing? You have made money and accumulated money. De, benefit the country and benefit the people, you go secretly to have fun!"
There was an echo of "Let's go...Let's go" in the valley. A drug farmer didn't know whether he was tired out or something, but was startled by the echo and almost fell off the cliff.
Zhao Xidan let out a "Yeah", jumped up in surprise, and almost threw the spell from a long distance, only to recover when Wei Chengxiang stretched out his hand to stop it.
Fortunately, more than a dozen of the drug farmers tied a bundle, and if one stumbled, they would be dragged back by their companions soon. But the man's back basket was knocked open, and two bright flowers fell to the bottom of the cliff.
The elixir carried away by Yao Nong had to be checked and weighed at the junction of the field and the foot of the mountain, in case someone stole it, and if the quantity was different, they would not be compensated. That is a panacea, if a small flower is dropped, he will do it for nothing for a year.
Banxian's hearing is good, from a long distance away, Zhao Xidan heard Yao Nong kneeling on the ground, wailing a few times as if he was dying, she got goosebumps all over her body, at that moment, she suspected that the man was going to jump off.
The companions in his group were unmoved, some were waiting with numb faces and clasped hands, some began to curse because he thought he was wasting time, and some patiently comforted the desperate drug farmer in a low voice. , If you have that time, it is better to get up and make money quickly.
Zhao Xiedan held his breath, in case Yao Nong jumped off the cliff, she was ready to catch him. But the man didn't seek death as she expected. After a while, he carefully twisted the back basket and tied it firmly, and went to survive.
Only then did Zhao Xidan let out a breath slowly, feeling terrified and sweaty palms.
Wei Chengxiang was not surprised, she pressed something on her heart, and said to the air: "Tai Sui, I found out from Yujiawan here that Sanyue not only releases grain, but also distributes a batch of supplements to Tao County." Yuan Dan, people should be able to survive the moon shadow period after eating, do you think we still need to do the spirit gathering array?"
Xi Ping has been watching the two of them through the reincarnated wood, knowing clearly that when Wei Chengxiang said this, he didn't take out the reincarnated wood from the mustard at all... And when she contacted him, she usually wouldn't say it out loud.
What is she doing
Xi Ping immediately looked at her intently, and saw that when Wei Chengxiang finished saying "the gathering of spirits is unnecessary", Zhao Xiaodan's shadow beside him suddenly swayed unnaturally.
wait, what is that
Just as Xi Ping wanted to capture Zhao Xidan's consciousness into breaking the law, he remembered Wei Cheng's abnormality and held back again.
The eldest lady who was still trying to settle the accounts just now was in a daze, and a thought that didn't fit her experience entered her mind out of thin air, and she blurted out: "Really? They even squeezed their own fathers and villagers to death like this, would it be true?" Care about the life and death of other people?"
Wei Chengxiang didn't seem to expect that she would react quickly, so he looked back at her in surprise.
Zhao Xiedan said: "The sages in Sanyue Xianshan have Taoism, but the half-immortals below don't. I've heard of the notoriety of Qilin Guards of Western Chu for scraping the ground..."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but pause, and a doubt flashed across, Zhao Yudan thought: I heard... what did I hear? Where did you hear it
A voice in her heart answered her: Of course it was in the secret realm of the Zhao family, listening to the elders discussing it.
Zhao Xidan's mind was like a fog, and he was confused for a while, and he vaguely remembered that this was the case. Then Emperor Bing's grandson is the in-law of the Yu family. Before getting married, one must inquire about the background of the other party.
She went on to say to Wei Chengxiang: "Let me tell you another inside story, the Yu family's spirit herb seller has always been watching people order dishes, and has already fed the half immortals who bought the herbs, and the herbs sold to Lingshan are of high quality and low quality. Let’s say less than 60% of the weeds in a stone. This time Lingshan is in a hurry, and they are willing to double-work the drug farmers, which shows that they are ready to get more lucrative water. Pharmaceuticals—most of the elixir for mortals are enlightened For monks, they will subcontract layer by layer, and they don’t know what kind of dough can be made in the end. Even so, the final whereabouts of these inferior medicine pills are mostly on the black market, selling them to poor wild monks like you.”
Wei Chengxiang frowned and looked at her: "How do you know?"
"The Yu family almost put black ink on my spiritual appearance. I know what's so strange about their family's secrets?" Zhao Yudan raised his chin slightly, his eyes fell on those Yao farmers, and his haughty expression darkened slightly, "There is something in Tianji Pavilion. It is recorded that in the next year of Dawan Taiyuan, there was a severe drought, and the imperial court sent people to relieve the disaster. As a result, the food for the disaster relief was mixed with more than half of the sand. If it hadn't been poked out by a passing Tianji Pavilion senior, I don't know how to hide this kind of thing How long. As for the ghost place of Xichu—it’s good to have sand to eat, but you still want to eat elixir? I advise you and the person behind you to not count on it.”
At this moment, Wei Chengxiang's shadow also moved, and her clear eyes dimmed.
A thought arose in her mind: Yes, if Sanyue could be trusted, Tao County wouldn't let Xie Chong become the emperor of the soil. If Tai Sui really had a way to help people get rid of the ghost face, wouldn't it be a great merit? When the time comes, let's see how these famous families of fish and meat people have no watchdogs, and what will they do to make a fuss. The 100,000 spirits are also gone.
She really should have made it happen.
Thinking of this, Wei Chengxiang subconsciously touched the mustard seeds hanging on his chest, wanting to get the reincarnation wood isolated in it, but just as his fingertips were about to reach into the mustard seeds, they were numb from the restraint.
With ten fingers connected to each other, Wei Cheng took a deep breath quietly: Wait, why did I put restrictions on myself
Just at this time, the rail car of Lalingcao was filled with laborers. It spouted steam "cracking" and ran out from the snake-like winding moon-plated gold track. With a sweep of a pair of huge headlights, the shadows of the two girls hiding in the dark were quickly slid , as if to stab someone.
The bushes not far away were rattled by the rail car.
Wei Chengxiang raised her eyes, and at the same time, another thought invaded her mind: I have become more and more paranoid over the years.
Zhao Xidan next to him said as if talking to himself: "The moon-plated gold factory that deliberately suppresses wages, the tolls that extort miscellaneous taxes, the elixir fields poured with human blood, and the psychic mask for slaves... I heard that the head of the Yu family is no more They are enlightened monks who infuse spirit stones and elixirs, and they can't draw half amulets, so what's so great about them?"
They just relied on their ancestors being ruthless and lucky enough to control the genius who was in a trough at that time, so that the family moths could still lie on the golden mountain and dominate a few hundred years later. The servants who were forced to sell their bodies back then have transformed into relatives of the emperor and the hairpin clan!
This majestic mansion, the splendor of wealth and honor, all weighed on that face.
if only…
Wei Cheng snapped his fingers to release the restraint on the mustard seed, and pulled out the reincarnation wood: "Senior!"
In the quietest courtyard in Yujiawan, a pair of slightly bloodshot eyes opened, and Yu Chang smiled: That's how it is.
He said how could it be possible for someone to communicate with spiritual consciousness, so this is the communication card that the mysterious "Tai Sui" used to contact his subordinates. This little girl's hair is not fully grown, but she has a lot of eyes, it is difficult to put on a show for her all the way, and it is strange to deal with her.
But no matter what she is, as long as she has desires and a gap in her heart, let alone a mere half-immortal, Foundation Establishment can't escape his "shadow transmission" technique.
Yu Chang breathed lightly, and Wei Chengxiang and Zhao Yudan were wrapped in a ball of mustard seeds without anyone knowing it. This time, the two girls who were so angry didn't notice it.
Wei Chengxiang involuntarily said the words he communicated with his spiritual consciousness: "... I know that stealing the unformed spiritual seal is different from washing away the face that has been washed for hundreds of years, but that Yu Chang seems to think that you can do it, senior, Do you want to see him? Well... well, I know it's inconvenient for you, so I'll pass it on for you, and Yu gave the communication card... "
The moonlight was covered by clouds, and the people and trees were immersed in the shadow for a moment. Wei Chengxiang's hand holding the reincarnation wooden card went dark, and the "shadow" got into the reincarnation wooden card.
"Let me see, who is this Tai Sui Xingjun who has occupied Yehu Township?"
He chased after the aura in the reincarnation wooden sign, and at the end, he saw a middle-aged man who looked similar to the original Tai Sui statue enshrined in Tao County, in the Snake King Immortal Palace.
Foundation establishment... no, higher, half-step ascension.
The little wild fox village is so hidden and crouching... that's great.
I found you, and it took no effort at all.
A greedy look appeared on Yu Chang's face, and his bloodshot eyes became even redder. At that moment, he seemed to be only one step away from going mad.
The figure flashed, and he flew towards Tao County.
Xi Ping, who had made Lu Wu's mask into a Taisui god, had no idea that he was being watched. After talking with Wei Chengxiang, he took the phoenix pattern out of the law to study.
Fengwen, who was trapped by him, always wanted to run to the northeast - the northeast was the direction of Yujiawan, and there seemed to be something attracting him there.
If he guessed correctly, Fengwen should be looking for Zhao Xidan.
There is a one-to-one relationship between the spiritual appearance and the spiritual appearance pattern, which reminds Xi Ping of Liang Chen.
Liang Chen wanted to get rid of the shadows on his spirit all the way back then, and the way he did it was intriguing: he tricked people with similar spirits to become believers all the way, and asked them to swear in blood that "life before death, corpse after death, and body now" Hair, skin, and the soul of the future Lingtai" are all presented, and they will become a body for him to take away at any time.
Even if he is really crippled, isn't it enough to seize the house once? Why do you have to prepare so many spares
Even if he has special supernatural powers and can seize the house many times, the feeling is definitely not pleasant. Every time he seizes someone else's altar, the risk of his own becoming obsessed increases by one point, and his spiritual consciousness will be involuntarily affected by the original body. With Liang Chen's unscrupulous attitude, Xi Ping couldn't imagine what he would look like after a circle of seizing the house, and couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.
At this moment, he had a sudden inspiration and realized that he had spoken out what he was thinking.
Xi Ping slapped it out: "Who!"
I don't know when the mustard seeds around him were torn apart, and a man in white fell in front of him and smiled at him: "The alien you mentioned who can repeatedly seize the house really wants to use this method to rub off the spirit image." Face—every time he seizes the house, theoretically, the face will be wiped off by the very similar spirit. After repeated "cleaning" thousands of times, he may be able to get rid of the slave mark. But the effect is definitely not as good as Exactly the same copy of the spirit... I have heard the name for a long time, Tai Sui Xingjun."
