Chapter 155: I Will Go Even If There Are Tens of Thousands of People Against Me

"What did Ji You do after he returned?"

"See the scholar fetching water for the widow, taking the little girl for a stroll, and harvesting wheat."

"Harvesting wheat?"

"He said he was harvesting wheat, but I felt there must be some trick, so I wandered around for a few days and found out that it was true. He pretended to harvest wheat, but he was actually honing his swordsmanship. It is said that the swordsmanship is called joint harvesting."

Just as the owner of Baixia Xianzhuang said, although Ji You has the qualifications to establish a family in Fengzhou, there are still many dangers.

Because ever since he set foot in Fengzhou, the foreign immortal village stationed here has been secretly watching his every move.

These fairy villas have been operating in Fengzhou for decades and have regarded this place as their private property.

Give it to someone else? They can't do that.

Some people say that Fengzhou is poor, with vast land and sparse population, which is indeed true.

But at the same time, there are few people who want to share the pie here.

And what about the other eight states?

There are many aristocratic families and sects that are connected to each other, but the resources they can actually get may not be more than what they can get in Fengzhou.

But if a local family is really established, then the share in their hands will no longer be theirs. This is a situation that all foreign immortal villages do not want to see.

So they are now faced with a very urgent problem.

If we just sit back and wait until Ji You becomes stronger, in ten or twenty years at the least, his family will definitely be established in Fengzhou.

If they don't want this to happen, they need to completely wipe him out within this period of time.

At the same time, the golden morning light of Yuyang County spread over Fengzhou. Ji You walked out of Ji's house, closed the door tightly, and then walked out of the city.

When he came, he said that he would go to Fengzhou Prefecture to register, establish a noble family, and take his share of the taxes here, and today is the day he sets out.

At this time, a carriage was parked in front of the county monument of Yuyang County, and Cao Jinsong and Pei Ruyi were standing on both sides.

"Leaving now?"

"Well, let's go now."

Ji You whispered, then shifted his gaze slightly to look at a farmer coming from the west of the city.

This is Uncle Aqing from the west of the city. At this moment, he is holding a white porcelain bowl filled with stewed wild vegetables and meat, heading towards the south of the city.

Cao Jinsong and Pei Ruyi also saw this scene and thought that although people in the world say that Fengzhou is poor, the food there is actually quite good.

At this time, Ji You lifted up his robe and stepped onto the carriage.

Meanwhile, many intelligence reports along the way had been sent along, constantly being passed between counties and cities, and finally delivered to the hands of major immortal villages.

"Ji You is coming towards Fengzhou Prefecture?"

"Yes, we set out this morning and headed straight there."

"I thought he would have to wait a few years to establish his family, but I didn't expect him to come right away?"

"This year's tax collection will begin soon, and he wants to register and establish a noble family now. I'm afraid it's just for the tax. He is too greedy!"

Thirty miles west of Fengzhou Prefecture, there are Qiyun Fairy Manor, Changqing Fairy Manor, Fuyan Fairy Manor... Several owners of the manors sat on the high hall with angry faces, and the sound of banging the table was endless.

The fifty or so disciples all had solemn expressions and were whispering among themselves.

No one could have imagined that a person who was only in the middle stage of Tongxuan realm and had just entered the inner courtyard for a few days would directly establish an aristocratic family.

Yes, it is stated in the Qingyun Immortal Rules that after obtaining the qualification of aristocratic families, local people can return to their hometown to establish aristocratic families.

But Qingyun Immortal Rules is dead. Does he think that the dozens of villas in Fengzhou are also dead?

Greedy, really greedy! In fact, before this, several villas disagreed to take action against Ji You.

On the one hand, they were afraid of the power of the Heavenly Academy, but on the other hand, they felt that it was possible to befriend Ji You if he established a noble family. After all, his inherited physique was known to many immortal villages.

In particular, some landowners with daughters in their families also believe that they can prosper by riding on ships in the future.

But this sudden news at this moment made everyone feel alarmed.

"In fact, everyone in the world thinks that you will definitely train in the inner courtyard for a few years and find a daughter of an aristocratic family who can help you to form a Taoist partner before you will have the idea of ​​establishing an aristocratic family in Fengzhou. Even I think so."

"But now we are heading straight to Fengzhou Prefecture, and our thoughts and ideas will become clear."

"This year's tax collection is about to begin. Immortal Sects, Aristocratic Families, and Immortal Sects have all opened their pockets wide. If you come here at this critical moment, it will irritate many people."

"Because if you establish a family in Fengzhou, it will take away everyone's share, so from now on, no matter what we do, we must be extremely cautious."

When the carriage reached Ancheng County, Cao Jinsong, Pei Ruyi and Ji You got off and rested there.

Meanwhile, Cao Jinsong sat on a wide bench at the post station, giving Ji You many instructions. Ji You nodded and swapped the teacup in his hand with his own.

Instructor Cao: “?”

Ji You raised his head with a serious expression: "I'm afraid it's poisonous."

"Are you afraid of poison? Oh, I'm not afraid of poison?"

"How can a real man be afraid of everything? Then why would he cultivate into a ghost immortal?"

Ji You muttered to himself and frowned slightly, then picked up a piece of food and put it in Cao Jinsong's bowl: "I was indeed rude just now, and now I am doing my filial duty for you."

Cao Jinsong's mouth twitched: "You are so filial that I am dying..."

"What are you afraid of? There is almost no poison that can kill a cultivator instantly, and I have many connections in the Dan Sect, so you don't have to worry. If there is really a poison, I can invite the Dan Sect to teach you in three days."

"Then why don't you eat?"

Ji You hovered his chopsticks over the bowl and plate: "Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents, and Teachers, naturally the elders should eat first, how dare the younger generation overstep their authority."

Pei Ruyi listened to the two of them talking back and forth, and couldn't help but pursed his lips: "Immortal cultivators don't have to eat, and there's no need to kill one of them..."

After saying this, Fairy Ruyi thought of another thing and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Ji You: "It's okay not to eat or drink, but the most important thing is that you must remember that this matter can be fatal."

"?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Hearing this, Cao Jinsong and Ji You couldn't help but look serious: "What's the matter?"

Pei Ruyi put down his chopsticks and said, "If you see silver rolling on the ground, don't pick it up."

Ji You stared at Fairy Ruyi in silence for a long time. Finally, he could not help but frown and clenched the teacup in his hand: "Is there still any law that prohibits picking up wild silver?"

Pei Ruyi sighed: "I know this approach goes against your conscience, but special times require special treatment."

"I'll just pick up the first two or three. If they throw a few more to lure me in, I won't pick them up."

“Once you pick up the first one, you can’t stop.”

Ji You's expression gradually became serious, and he felt that what his senior sister said was indeed true.

Cao Jinsong put down his chopsticks at this time and couldn't help but sighed: "In fact, we can still wait a little longer. You have excellent talent and your cultivation speed is very fast. Once you enter the Rongdao realm, or even the Yingtian realm, you will have a much better chance."

“I can’t wait.”

"Why?"

"It is my dream to build a stronghold. When the time comes, I will write on Fengzhou Continent: This road was built by me, and this tree was planted by me. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave money to buy your way through. I will become a brilliant and extraordinary bandit."

Cao Jinsong and Pei Ruyi looked at each other and then stopped talking.

Ji You is a very unruly person. He keeps saying that he has a clear conscience, but in fact, he doesn't spend most of the money on himself.

Just like this time when he returned to Yuyang, he actually gave part of the silver he exchanged for spirit stones to the school.

It is indeed a good thing for the people of Fengzhou that he can establish a family here.

But in Cao Jinsong's opinion, the current situation in Fengzhou was not created overnight, so he really doesn't need to be too anxious.

When your cultivation level reaches a higher level, some things will happen naturally.

But it is really not cost-effective to take risks now.

Ji You usually calculates accounts very clearly, but for some reason he just can't understand this principle.

Then the carriage continued on its journey, galloping on the road where yellow earth was flying.

When passing by a small village thirty miles southwest of Ancheng County, the three men saw a ragged farmer on the side of the road, holding a bowl filled with some dishes and heading towards the farmland.

Cao Jinsong and Pei Ruyi frowned slightly, looked in the direction he was heading, and saw a newly built tomb there.

The tomb is semicircular, but only half of the tomb entrance is sealed, and there are scattered bricks next to it.

When the farmer approached the grave and called out "Mother" softly, a wrinkled face suddenly emerged from the unblocked entrance of the grave, and the farmer also called out "Son" in response.

This scene made Cao Jinsong and Pei Ruyi open their eyes wide, a little confused.

Although both of them were born in Fengzhou, they actually had good family backgrounds, otherwise they would not have been able to become immortal cultivators, and naturally had never seen such a scene.

"Nursing Home, haven't you seen it?"

"?"

"The elderly in the family no longer have the ability to work, but she has not died. Because she is still alive, they have to pay an extra tax. The children cannot afford it, so they can only send her here. Every day when they deliver meals, they lay a brick until the tomb is completely sealed. This is considered their old age care and funeral."

Ji You looked at the scene and said, "And when the last brick is laid, there must be meat in the bowl."

Cao Jinsong and Pei Ruyi suddenly remembered the farmer they saw in front of the gate of Yuyang County when they set out, and couldn't help but turn to look at Ji You.

"Three years ago, I got lost in the mountains because of something. I was rescued by a group of farmers. I stayed in the clinic for a long time, and then Fang Ruoyao broke off the engagement. You all know about this..."

"After I recovered, I often went to the mountains to hang out. I saw many graves like this, new and old, scattered all over the mountain. My expression at that time was exactly the same as yours."
