The small town of Guanshan seemed to have grown old overnight, losing its vitality.
So after the initial confusion, a deep sense of despair spread in the town.
If it weren't for Li Hanqiu's suppression, what might this place have become
"Food can last for another five months, spiritual salt reserves are still available for thirteen months, monster meat jerky reserves are still available for one month, and spiritual fruits and vegetables can basically be self-sufficient."
"The villagers' ration cannot be reduced, because after all, these mortals are in the borderland where monsters are infested, and their longevity must be guaranteed to be more than 100 years. In addition, taking spiritual salt and spiritual fruit can also make the villagers' souls strong after death. Able to be led to the underworld.”
"This is very important. There is a quota for the number of dead people in a village or town who want to enter the underworld. It must reach more than 80%. Otherwise, the underworld will not issue too many soul reincarnation quotas. Without soul reincarnation, the birth of newborns will not be guaranteed. , it is very likely that some lonely ghost has been reincarnated, or a demon has been reincarnated, and the worst thing is that a foreigner has been reincarnated, which will disturb the heavenly secrets."
"So, Master, I suggest that we invite at least one Celestial Master to come to Guanshan Town. The original Celestial Master has moved away a few days ago. Without a Celestial Master, no one can communicate with the underworld. No one can communicate with the underworld. The villagers do not dare to have children, and they cannot even have peace in death, because without the protection of the heavenly master, the soul of the deceased will not be able to find the entrance to the underworld if it is slightly weaker."
After Zhang Yang settled the affairs of the mountain gate, he hurried to Guanshan Town. As a result, Li Hanqiu's performance made his eyes shine. He actually stabilized the population of nearly 3,000 people. In one word, awesome!
But what Li Hanqiu reported to him next gave him a headache.
"Also, the trade routes between Yening City and Xuantie City must have been stopped. Without considering the future crisis and pressure of our Tianjian Sect, we must keep Guanshan Town because there is a spiritual spring here. , there are 500 acres of fairy rice fields, which cannot be discarded, and farming requires population. To develop a sect, the new population is also very important."
"But among the thousands of villagers in Guanshan Town, at least half of them rely on trade routes to survive. If we don't find a way for them to survive, we will have to support them."
It's not that Zhang Yang can't handle the myriad of things Li Hanqiu said, but he has more important things, such as the threat from the demon clan and the covetousness from Yening City. How can he have the time and energy to deal with these.
"You are solely responsible for these matters. Aren't the villagers' popular sentiment unstable? Take 100 acres of the 500 acres of fairy rice fields and divide them equally among the villagers, regardless of men, women, old or young. Everyone has a share."
"Now, where are the hundred combat sword cultivators you found for me? I want to take them up the mountain. I have to let them have combat effectiveness in a short time."
Li Hanqiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Master, you probably don't understand the importance of the fairy rice fields. The future development of a sect, uh, well, just follow the master's instructions. The people's sentiment is stable, those villagers From now on, we will definitely not escape Guanshan Town easily, and if I direct them to reclaim more land, it should be safe for more than ten years, but the trade routes must be opened sooner or later, which is very important."
"Don't be in a hurry. You have to eat the food one bite at a time and walk the road step by step."
Zhang Yang comforted Li Hanqiu and asked him to take him to see the one hundred combat sword cultivators.
"Master, according to your instructions, I did not select strong warriors. In fact, I could not select strong warriors, because warriors who are both strong and have mastered powerful martial arts are the guards of the four major families. They have followed the four families for a long time. The big family moved to Yening City, and now those who are left are either crooked melons and cracked jujubes, or crippled old people, so I can only choose from the one with rich experience."
Li Hanqiu hurriedly explained to Zhang Yang, fearing that he would run away because the situation was too bad.
Especially when Zhang Yang saw the so-called one hundred candidates for combat sword cultivation, his eyes almost jumped out like ping pong balls.
What the hell.
The average age is 75 years old, the oldest is 89 years old, and the youngest is 62 years old. Well, this can be tolerated. Who makes the mortals in this world live very long for various reasons, especially those who have practiced various It is possible for a samurai who simply acquired martial arts techniques from cultivating immortals to live to be 150 years old.
But, missing arms, lame legs, missing eyes, what the hell is this
Well, they must have rich experience and a strong mentality.
"Old Li, what potential do you think such a combat swordsman has?"
"I don't know, Master, but this is indeed the best I can find. From a mortal point of view, they are all top-notch experts, at least they used to be. Most of them are not locals of Guanshan Town. , they spent their whole lives struggling, licking their blood, and accumulated a certain amount of wealth. Then they decided that the town of Guanshan was suitable for retirement, so they bought real estate and settled here. However, it turns out that God is not as good as man, and now they have picked up the property again Swords can be regarded as a chance, because no immortal cultivating sect in the world would be embarrassed enough to use them as a combat sword cultivator."
"Now, it depends on whether the leader agrees."
Zhang Yang grinned for a few seconds, and finally he could only wave his hand, "Let's go, everyone. As the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in the sky. You are all veterans, and you should understand what is waiting for you."
In this way, Zhang Yang took away these one hundred gray-haired old men and old ladies.
That's right, there are nine old ladies. It is said that they were once heroic and famous heroines!
One day later, at the foot of the Woodcutter Peak, a hundred old guys lined up, all carrying swords on their backs. No matter what weapons they had used, when they arrived at the Tianjian Gate, they could only use swords.
"You are not qualified to go up the mountain yet, because there is still one last hurdle. I am not trying to make things difficult for you, but I want to see if your body can still accept the transformation."
Zhang Yang said calmly that he was really not making things difficult, but was trying his best to give these old guys a chance to reborn.
And this opportunity is to enter the Swordman Valley and use the radiation of sword energy to slowly modify the body meridians of these old guys.
Zhang Yang is very poor now, but he has one unit of standard heaven and earth spiritual energy every day, which is very useful. In the past ten days or so, he has found an excellent location between Qiaolin Peak and Falling Ax Peak, and built it into Sword Man Valley.
In addition, if possible, he could even share a little bit of the Dao Yun of Heaven and Earth.
In short, his trash door cannot become a real trash door.
"You are afraid of death, you can go back now." After Zhang Yang said this, he couldn't help but smile, because it was really a joke. If it were a young man who was not familiar with the world, this might have some effect, but this A bunch of old guys who didn't even bat an eyelid.
"Go in, do your best, live as long as you can, and fight as hard as you can. There's no guarantee of longevity, but it's not impossible to be reborn!"
Zhang Yang shouted like a wolf, and then the hundred old guys rushed in like ferocious wild boars!
Perhaps this is their only advantage, they don't take life and death seriously at all.
