Chapter 128: The Secret Art of the Fox Clan: The Method of Refining the Gods
"I ask you, did some Jurchens leave the Ming Dynasty with your power last year?"
After thinking for a while, Su Hao asked what Fang Haichuan wanted to investigate. Fang Haichuan had told him before leaving that this incident has made Emperor Tianqi still miss it.
"last year?"
After thinking for a while, Hu Qi said, "It is true that there are four of them, carrying a large package with many ancient books. I remember Hu Ba reading those books at that time. She also said that the books were all ancient books about architecture, most of which were left behind when the city was built in the Ming Dynasty."
Ancient books when the capital was built?
When Su Hao heard Hu Ba's words, he frowned. What the hell is this? Some ancient books left when the city was built should be useless. If it were important ancient books, the royal family would definitely take strict supervision, and such things would not be stolen by the Jurchens.
"Then how did you send them away?"
After thinking for a while, Su Hao asked, "He couldn't care what the Jurchens had stole. After all, the other party had left the Ming Dynasty. However, if the Jurchens could uproot the Jurchens' power in Shandong, then his contribution should be quite good. At least dozens of great achievements should be made, and he could also take the opportunity to harvest some enlightenment points.
"Through Wendengchen's house in Dengzhou Prefecture."
Hu Qi said: "The Chen family is a salt merchant and has its own salt farm. They often sell private salt to the Jurchens from the sea. Hu Ba contacted the Chen family and sent those people to Jinzhouwei."
Salt merchant?
When Su Hao heard Hu Qi's words, his brows rose slightly. He wanted to talk about the rich people of the Ming Dynasty. These salt merchants were the only ones. There were dynasties that the benefits of salt and iron could support a country's soldiers.
However, the salt administration of the Ming Dynasty was changed again and again. At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang's policy was to exchange grain for salt. Salt merchants purchased grain from various places and transported it to the border for salt to exchange it. The court could obtain a large amount of grain for supply to the border army without any effort.
However, since the Tumu Fort Incident, this policy began to collapse. Civil officials took control of military power, and military generals lost their power. The grain exchanged for salt tracts was no guarantee. A large amount of salt tracts were obtained by salt merchants from all over the country by various means. The grain could not reach the border, so the court could only start transporting grain to the border. Later, when Zhu Youxuan, Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty, simply paid the salt tracts into silver and exchanged them for salt tracts, so the salt tracts became completely huge profits.
But silver is not as easy as food, and it is easier to get greedy. After a few times, the silver was divided into 30,700 yuan, and the salt was distributed to the wealthy families in various places. Everyone was happy. The only ones who suffered damage were the court and the people. After all, salt could be less, but the food for the soldiers in the border was unlimited, and in the end they could only fall on the people in various places. Therefore, the degree of money of the salt merchants can be imagined.
"Who else are you in contact with except the Chen family?"
After thinking for a while, Su Hao asked again.
"I don't know the others."
Hu Qi shook his head and said, "It's usually Hu Ba who is in contact. She is better at illusion than Hu Shier and I."
"Is this how?"
Su Haodandan said, "Is there anything else I want to say?"
"No more, Qianhu, so many things that Xiaodi knows."
Upon hearing this, Hu Qi said quickly.
"Waiter, unlock the spell for him."
Su Hao waved his hand and said, "Let him go."
"Master?"
When Zhao Xiaoer heard Su Hao's words, she was stunned. She thought Su Hao promised Hu Qi to let him go, just to trap Hu Qi's words, but she didn't expect that Su Hao really wanted to let Hu Qi go.
"You have to keep your promises in life."
Su Hao smiled and said, "Since you have agreed, there is naturally no reason to go back. We will take Hu Ba and Hu Shier back the same way. Let him go quickly. We can return to Jinan Prefecture as soon as possible, and then send Hu Ba and Hu Shier to Beijing. Your Majesty attaches great importance to the four Jurchens. Sending them back to the capital is a great achievement."
Hearing Su Hao say this, Zhao Xiaoer couldn't refute it. He waved his hand and removed Hu Qi's immobilization technique.
As soon as the body was removed, Hu Qi immediately got up and then flew towards the cliff desperately.
At this time
Hu Xian appeared in his hand and then headed towards Hu Qijuan. Unexpectedly, Su Hao suddenly took a step and blocked the color bridge.
At this moment, Hu Xian was also confused and didn't understand what Su Hao meant. He clearly heard the meaning of letting him take action from Su Hao's words. Could it be that he had misunderstood?
"I have something to do, and I want him to do it."
Seeing Hu Xian's expression, Su Hao waved his hand. He really wanted Hu Xian to take action at the beginning, so he deliberately emphasized "I am a few officials". However, after hearing about the Chen family, he changed his mind.
Although Hu Qi and the three foxes were in hand, the Chen family would definitely have a small force to get a piece of salt profit, and the other party would definitely not leave any evidence for cooperation with the Jurchens. Although he is now a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, he has not yet reached the point of being ruthless. With the confession of the three fox demons, he cannot defeat the Chen family at all.
So the only way is to lead the snake out of the cave. With the two fox demons Hu Ba and Hu Shier in hand, the Chen family will definitely be restless. After all, this time the matter is related to Emperor Tianqi. If these two foxes arrive in the capital, it will be difficult for the Chen family to stay out of the matter.
The other party may not have the courage to rob and kill him, but he must have the courage to kill these two foxes. As long as he gets more evidence, the Chen family will be finished.
After pausing for a moment, Su Hao continued, "Since I have promised before, now that Hu Qi has confessed, I will naturally not hold you accountable. However, I advise you to be careful in your words and actions. Next time, I will never show mercy."
"Don't worry, the old man will follow the orders of the thousand households and be cautious from now on."
Hearing Su Hao's words, Hu Xian replied quickly.
"That's the best."
Su Hao waved his hand and looked at Lu Zeju beside him, saying in slightest: "Uncle Fu, let him explain the place where the Lu family treasures are hidden."
This time, in addition to checking spies, he mainly paid attention to the treasures of the Lu family. He got more than 100,000 taels of silver from the Li family, but he did not find the treasures of the Lu family. Logically speaking, the treasures of the Lu family should not be less than that of the Li family.
The only remaining silver he has is only 70,000 to 80,000 taels. It is far from enough to ask Fang Haichuan to help acquire it. Tens of thousands of taels of silver are a huge wealth in ordinary people, but at the level of the Jinyiwei Qianhu, it is just a normal income of one year, which is not enough.
Hearing Su Hao's words, Uncle Fu took off his paper man's body and drilled into Lu Zeju's body. After a while, Lu Zeju suddenly twitched his hands and feet, and he began to talk nonsense.
"Young Master, I found it. In a cave on Mount Tai, the cave has been transformed into a secret cave by the Lu family."
After a while, Uncle Fu came out of Lu Zeju's body.
"Then let's go."
Upon hearing this, Su Hao nodded. Since he already knew the location of the treasure, he just turned around and took it out.
At this time, Hu Xian, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "Su Qianhu, please wait, I have something to give to Qianhu."
After saying that, Hu Xian waved his hand and the colored bridge, which instantly extended to the depths of the canyon. As soon as Hu Xian stepped onto the colored bridge, he disappeared without a trace.
Looking at Caiqiao, Su Hao shook his head and chuckled. It was quite good to use this magic weapon to fool people. It matched the fox clan's style of acting like to pretend to be a god. If ordinary people encounter it, they would definitely mistakenly think it was a god.
…
On the other hand, after Hu Qi escaped from the canyon, he stopped on a mountain peak. Looking at the canyon in the distance, Hu Qi turned into a human form, and his expression on his face was extremely complicated. He betrayed Hu San's grandma, and Changbai Mountain would definitely not be able to go back, and it would be a dead end if he went back.
But if he doesn't go back, how long can he live on this Ming territory? Thinking of this, Hu Qi's face couldn't help but look desperate!
After a while, Hu Qi regained his spirit and ran towards the east. Despair is meaningless now. The most important thing is to save him. If Hu Ba and Hu Shier can be rescued, then what he did will become a plan, and no one will pursue him again. Is he really betrayed?
…
After a quarter of an hour, the Caiqiao once again extended from the deep mountains of the canyon, and then Hu
Xian's figure also appeared, holding a box emitting a strange fragrance in his hand.
"Su Qianhu, this is the method of refining gods in my fox clan. I saw that the souls of thousands of households have not gathered. This method of refining gods should help thousands of households with one arm."
Hu Xian came to Su Hao with the wooden box and said respectfully.
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Hu Xian's words, Su Hao raised his eyebrows. This secret method of tempering the soul is not a big cabbage. Although the soul is not an element that determines combat power, the soul is also very important. Confucianism's practice is essentially also cultivating the soul. If the soul can be condensed, once it encounters the mind attack of Confucianism, it will not be easily dispersed. Moreover, if it encounters some spiritual attacks, it will not be powerless to fight back.
"I just want to make a good relationship with Qianhu. My family still has to live in Jinan Mansion. If there is any offense in the future, I hope Qianhu can be proud of it."
Hu Xian bowed again.
"Since that's the case, I will accept it with shame."
Upon hearing this, Su Hao's thoughts changed rapidly. After thinking for a while, he took the wooden box because Hu Xian had no reason to harm him, and he had a system. If there was a problem with the method of refining the gods, he would definitely not be able to hide it from the system.
…
"Great grandpa, why do you want to hand over the secret techniques of the clan?"
Looking at the figures of Su Hao and others leaving, a red fox turned into a human form, which was the girl in red before.
"Just make a good relationship."
Hu Xian shook his head and said, "We still have to live here for a long time. It is necessary to make a good relationship with this Jinyiwei Qianjia."
There are many places in the practice of the fox clan that need to rely on the power of the human race. The benefits of making friends with this Jinyiwei Thousand Households outweigh the disadvantages. Moreover, although this method of refining gods is precious, it is also useless. The fox clan's main practice of illusions naturally requires powerful mental power.
However, this method of refining gods is quite useless to the human race. Confucianism is the main method of refining gods, which is much more powerful than the method of refining gods in the fox clan. Both Buddhist and Taoist schools also have their own method of refining gods, and they are combined with daily life, so they don’t need to practice specifically. As for those who practice martial arts, they are too lazy to practice this method of refining gods. It is better to practice more internal skills than to practice the mind method with this skill.
Only Su Hao happened to be a left-handed sorcerer, and he needed this method of refining gods, otherwise he would not even be able to send it out.
………
After leaving the Fox Fairy Gorge, Uncle Fu held Lu Zeju, Su Hao held a fox with one hand, and Zhao Xiaoer and Ding Zimo followed closely behind. It has to be said that the inheritance of the White Lotus Sect is indeed much better than that of the Su family. Even though he used the magic several times, Zhao Xiaoer's face was slightly pale and did not look weak at this time.
"Waiter, can you rush back to Jinan Mansion first and pass on the order to Tang Xiangjin and the others to prepare, I'm afraid there will be no trouble next."
Su Hao said, although Hu Qi only told the Chen family, Su Hao also knew that there must be more than one Chen family. The fur, mountain goods, and medicinal materials in the northeast have always been needed by the Ming Dynasty. Under Zhu Yuanzhang's cruel methods, many powerful people took risks to trade with nomadic people outside the pass, not to mention now.
Now that the Jurchens have taken over Liaodong, it is a huge source of wealth in the eyes of many people. After all, the court invested millions of taels of silver in Liaodong every year, and now all these things are in the hands of the Jurchens.
Now that Hu Ba's contact person is in his hands, I don't know how many people are in a state of ease. Although I don't know how many people dare to take action, it's good to prepare more.
In terms of strength, he was not very worried. With his current strength, even if the martial arts master took action, he would not have thought that he could get it from him. His simple strength is indeed not as good as the martial arts master, but he now has twenty thunder and fire bombs. There are so many Thunder and Fire bombs, even if the martial arts master comes, it will be enough for the other party to drink a pot.
"Don't worry, Master, I'll go now."
Hearing Su Hao's words, Zhao Xiaoer nodded, then took out a paper bird from his sleeve, chanted a spell, and finally blew a light breath. The paper bird fell to the ground and turned into a giant bird with wings spreading more than three feet long.
Zhao Xiaoer jumped onto the back of the big bird, the next moment,
The giant bird flapped its wings and headed towards the north.
...
On the other hand, after two days of long journey, Hu Qi finally arrived in Wendeng County.
As the first family in Dengzhou Prefecture, the Chen family is not only a family of officials and gentry, but also controls several salt fields around Wendeng. It has been based in Dengzhou Prefecture for nearly two hundred years. Nearly 20% of the land in Dengzhou Prefecture is owned by the Chen family. It can be said that the Chen family in Dengzhou Prefecture is more useful than the official government.
After turning into a human form, Hu Qi walked to the gate of the Chen family and bowed, "Hu Qi asked for a visit to the head of the Chen family if you have something to do, I hope to inform you."
"See my head?"
The servant who was in charge of guarding the gate looked up and down Hu Qi and found that the other party was not wearing any fine fabrics and was hiking again. So he waved his hand and said, "Go! Go! Go! My Chen family's door is not something that cats and dogs can step into."
"Not knowing what's wrong!"
Hu Qi, who was already holding his anger, was furious now, with a green light flashing in his eyes, and a phantom of a fox appeared behind him.
