Chapter 202 Fengzhou Border (revised)
After returning to the mountain, the young master of Lingjian Mountain went into seclusion again, breaking through the boundless realm.
However, this news did not attract much attention and discussion, because to outsiders, she had been in seclusion half a year ago and had never gone out during this period. She was not hugged by a strange man and kissed passionately to the point of leaving wounds at the corners of her mouth.
Before going into seclusion, Yan Shuyi also wrote a special letter to Ji You.
The general content of the letter was that the wound on his mouth caused by his bite had been seen by many people, and he was told to be careful not to be stabbed to death by a sword when walking on the road.
There was a hint of arrogance in her tone, but she sounded like she was in a good mood.
In addition, Yuan Caiwei, the daughter of Danzong, also wrote a letter to Ji You.
The content of the letter basically shared her and Yuanchen's daily life in Danzong.
According to the letter, Yuan Chen has begun trying to control the holy weapon at the suggestion of the head monk Yuan Li, but there has been no success so far.
Yuan Li said that it was because Yuan Chen's loyalty was not strong enough that he could not gain Hong Lu's approval, so he confiscated all the manuscripts he brought from Shengjing.
After coming to Tianshuyuan, Yuan Caiwei seemed to be much closer to him. The content of her letters was not as formal as before. She would no longer call him Master Ji when writing, but often called him Ji You.
There was a trace of a drawing in it, as if it was written wrong, but you can vaguely see that the two characters that were smeared are Ji Lang...
"In fact, the sudden absence of two people in the yard was very obvious, because the yard suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere was gone."
Ji You was sitting in a bumpy carriage at this time. Thinking of the two letters, he muttered like an old widower.
When Kuang Cheng heard his words, his eyes suddenly became strange: "A good body can really conquer the world."
"What?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking about where to go next."
"Where's the other one?"
"I feel like it's almost time."
"?"
After the new Yuan Dynasty, Kuang Cheng was not idle either. He had been dealing with the temporary transportation of the Snow Demon Stone from the old road of Fengzhou.
The repair of the official road will take some time. The Snow Demon Stone is now taking the old road west of Fengzhou. The first batch was delivered to Jiuzhou a few days ago.
When the demon clan's spirit stones re-entered Jiuzhou, the demon clan also began to transport the products from Jiuzhou back to the Snow Region.
Business is a two-way transaction, which should be normal. However, an incident that happened later attracted the special attention of the Sixianjian.
That is, there were several demon merchants who entered Kyushu and were collecting landscape albums of Fengzhou, and they offered very high prices. They were the most valuable type of return goods, and then all of them were brought back to the Snow Region.
You know, Fengzhou has always been a backup front for the human race after the Hantie Pass was breached. Last autumn, the barbarians invited the demon tribe to form an alliance, and the actions of the demon merchants immediately aroused vigilance.
Could it be that they were familiarizing themselves with the terrain of Fengzhou and preparing in advance for the attack on Huantie Pass? This speculation was extremely deadly and directly aroused the nerves of many people.
Among them was a painter from Fengzhou named Wei Hong. Because of his good skills and the most drawings he sold, he was specially captured by the Sixianjian for interrogation.
But after questioning, they found that most of the collected drawings were depictions of landscapes, the mountains of Fengzhou, the water of Fengzhou, and sometimes even a tree.
Such a drawing would not be able to be found by the demon clan, even the painter himself might not be able to find the exact location of the painting, so it does not serve any strategic purpose.
So everyone in the Sixianjian felt relieved, but at the same time they felt very puzzled.
Why did the demon tribe collect these picture albums? Could it be that the demon tribe longed for the Nine Provinces so much that they bought these and brought them back to show their tribe members?
But the question is why only the album of Fengzhou, the most barren place in Kyushu, is needed? This is the most incomprehensible.
In the interrogation room at that time, there was only the Chief of the Xianjian Reception Office, the No. 1 Scholar in the second year of Taiwu. He seemed to have suddenly thought of something, so he opened his mouth in surprise and his expression became thoughtful.
【A good body conquers the world】
Ji You looked at him and thought that scholars were really weird.
At this time, the vast Fengzhou gradually filled the two people's vision.
The official road in Fengzhou was to be repaired and joint farming was to begin soon, which was why the two of them came here.
At this time, countless carriages loaded with magical instruments were speeding past them and then heading towards Danshui County.
Danshui County is an important transit station on the selected route, connecting Fengzhou in four directions of east, west, south and north.
No matter how Fengzhou develops in the future, the economic circulation will depend on this road. This is why if you want to get rich, you have to build roads first.
Ji You attached great importance to this road, no less than Daxia and Sixianjian, so he came here in person to inspect the stones.
When the carriage arrived, the two men got off and walked into the area where the stones were stored. They then drew their swords and chopped off one stone, followed by the second, and the third…
"Who is responsible for transporting this piece of stone?"
"The name written on the register is Chen Zhang."
"Call the governor of Danshui County."
Ji You muttered silently as he looked at the cornerstone that did not crack under the sword energy but turned into debris.
Some officials of Daxia have become accustomed to greed under the tax system for so many years, and it would be surprising if this situation did not occur.
So on the second day, a group of new people appeared in the iron prison of Fengzhou Prefecture.
Then came the second stop, and the third stop, and people were sent in one after another.
Although the status of Da Xia officials is not as high as that of immortals, they have been in office for many years, and whether they are scheming or acting like dogs, they basically have some influence in Qingyun.
So the news that Ji You was inspecting the stones in Fengzhou and capturing batches of them spread.
In fact, until now, there are still a large number of people who think that Ji You’s use of the banner of the Human World was just a cover-up, but they never thought that he actually went to check the stones in person.
Subsequently, the joint reclamation of Fengzhou began.
Last autumn, Ji You convened a joint harvesting team in the name of tax collection. At that time, only cultivators at the Wei Zhao realm and below participated in the team.
But as the Snow Demon Stones began to enter the country from Fengzhou and the news of Ji You selling Danzong elixir came, the joint reclamation team had many more people in the Condensation Realm.
There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, and it is the season when the ducks know the spring river water is warm.
Every day when the people of Fengzhou go out, they can see countless immortal cultivators standing in a row. With the sound of "Lian", the nine-foot immortal wheels in their hands are driven by spiritual energy, turning over a piece of soil on the ground.
Zhang Pingyang, who was one of the first to join the Combined Harvester Team, has become more and more proficient in using the Nine-foot Immortal Wheel and has even trained several apprentices.
He now doubted more and more that he had cultivated immortality just for this purpose.
Because he, who had encountered many obstacles step by step on the road of cultivating immortals, found a sense of genius in joint reclamation.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly rang out.
After the combined harvest began, the people were not as afraid of them as before and would often bring them tea. The one who came this time was a girl named Lanlan, the daughter of a farmer in Xunyang Town, south of Fengzhou Prefecture. She usually stood at the edge of the field and watched him.
Sometimes when he was tired from practice, he would look around during a break and accidentally make her eyes meet, and then Miss Lanlan would panic and avoid his gaze.
At that moment, a cultivator like Zhang Pingyang who was abandoned by his family seemed to be stunned...
What Fengzhou lacks the least is land, and as long as there is land, the people can survive.
So after the news of the joint reclamation spread, more people from Yunzhou and Zhongzhou migrated to Fengzhou.
At this time, a large number of migrants gathered at the border of Yunzhou, and there were about ten of them sitting under the tea stall on the right side of the checkpoint. The youngest of them was about 40 or 50 years old. Each of them had sharp eyes, but their clothes were somewhat tattered. After eating on the roadside, they turned around and looked at the border checkpoint.
"Brother Tiexiong, do you really want to do this?"
"Ermin, do you want to be a private cultivator for the rest of your life, hiding from place to place every day? The Immortal Master said that as long as someone dies in the Ji residence, no matter who died, you will be able to obtain the status of a worshiper, and you will no longer be a private cultivator!"
"Brother Tiexiong is right. Now that we are here, why are you hesitating? Let's do it!"
The group slammed their tea bowls on the table and headed towards the checkpoint.
Then they were called into the small house one by one to be interrogated.
When he was in Shengjing City, Ji You had asked Daxia to cancel the government decrees in Yunzhou and Zhongzhou prohibiting private migration, so the checkpoints in Yunzhou had actually been removed.
The checkpoint at this time was actually set up in Fengzhou.
As the people entered the huts one by one, most of them entered Fengzhou from the back door, while a small number of them walked back with struggling expressions.
Seeing this, the private cultivator named Tiexiong frowned slightly and said, "I don't know what they are investigating, but it looks like they may not be able to pass. Brothers, be careful."
Zhao Ermin pondered for a moment after hearing this: "Maybe they'll ask about my hometown and what I did for a living before. Just tell me what I did before I came up the mountain."
"clear."
"Go ahead."
Tiexiong said nothing, and saw his brother, Brother Barber, who was walking in front of him, walk into the hut inside the checkpoint.
Everyone watched from behind, and soon they saw Barber walk through the hut and enter Fengzhou, but for some reason, his eyes had a complicated look.
Seeing this scene, Tiexiong and Zhao Ermin looked at each other and thought that it seemed that the inspection was indeed too strict.
But since Barber was able to get through, it means there is no risk.
Besides, there aren't many immortal cultivators guarding this level, so there won't be any risk even if you fail to pass it.
So one after another, everyone walked over, and finally even Zhao Ermin walked over, then turned around and looked at him with an unreadable look in his eyes.
Tiexiong smiled, signaled his brothers not to worry, and then stepped into the cabin.
There were actually only three officers in the room, two sitting inside and one guarding the door.
"Name."
"Su Lao San, that's what everyone in the village calls him. His parents died early, so he didn't have a name."
"How old are you?"
"Thirty-four."
Tie Xiongxin said that the questions at the beginning were just like this, and it seemed that they would become more severe later on.
At this time, the police officer looked up and said, "There is something I need to explain to you in advance. You should think about it carefully."
Tiexiong held his breath and said, "Please ask, sir."
"Our Fengzhou is very close to Hantie Pass. Outside are the demon tribe and the barbarian tribe. If a war breaks out one day, Fengzhou will be the first to be hit. At that time, many demon soldiers and barbarian soldiers may flood into Fengzhou, and there will be casualties. Are you still willing to come?"
Tiexiong was slightly stunned.
The police officer was not surprised, after all, many people had the same expression: "The master above said that he would try his best to prevent this from happening, but he also said that he couldn't guarantee it. He said that people's lives should be in their own hands."
Tiexiong frowned and said, "Did you ask this to everyone?"
“Yes.”
“So there are so many people going there?”
The constable looked at him and said, "It's better than living like an animal. The master above said that your life is your own. You should have the right to make your own choice."
The official standing by the door glanced at the slightly glowing magic weapon in his hand and said: "Even if you are practicing privately, you can still make a living by farming in the past."
If there is a war in Fengzhou, it will be a matter of life and death for the people of Fengzhou.
But for the people in other states, this is not their fate. But they have no idea that Fengzhou is actually a backup front line, and they have no idea about the monster tribe and the barbarian tribe.
How could the Tongxuan realm have the ability to protect the world? So the best way is to tell them and let them choose for themselves, to die towards life, or to live towards death.
