Yu Yan's surprised expression only lasted for one breath before she calmed down.
"Forget it, I'd better wait. I'm not worried about you going to the fiefdom. I have to wait until you stabilize."
For some reason, Yu Yan's mood to go home suddenly became less intense.
"There's one more thing I want to remind you." Yu Yan changed the subject with ease, "Don't copy things easily again, it won't do any good."
"I have read about the yin-yang dual magic weapon in ancient books. It is very evil. It may be that you burned your life to get it. This jade pendant of yours can also teleport. It seems to be more than just the legendary dual magic weapon."
"But I suspect that there must be a price. Getting rich depends on means, cultivation, and a weird treasure. Disasters are unpredictable."
Jiang Yao was horrified when he heard this. Ever since he became rich overnight by copying things, he had always felt a little uneasy. It was not an uneasy feeling in his body, not an uneasy feeling in his soul.
It’s hard to describe it in words. Is it really a matter of longevity?
No way?
I was blinded by wealth before, so I didn't even think about this level.
Yu Yan saw Jiang Yao thoughtfully and solemnly, and knew that he might be right.
"Jiang Yao, you are very smart and have good luck, but the ancient books you have read are far inferior to mine, so I have more accurate intuitions about many things."
"That jade pendant of yours is really evil. It must be very high-end, and may be a treasure that surpasses the real thing. However, it should not be a serious thing. If you use it frequently to make money, you may suffer unknown backlash."
"I can tell you that many top-level magic weapons have a price to use. The more evil the treasure, the greater the price and the more hidden it is."
"So, the most important thing is always your own cultivation, which is the foundation of Taoism, not the magic weapon."
Jiang Yao frowned, "Every time I use up my energy, I have to stay in my sea of consciousness for a long time, consuming my consciousness. Is this a price?"
Yu Kuan shook his head, "It's definitely not that simple. What's the price? Anyway, you have to stop it in moderation and try to use it as little as possible to make money. Unless necessary, don't copy things easily. Nothing is so cheap."
"I feel like there's something wrong with this way of making money. Think about it, this jade pendant must have had an owner back then, and you couldn't be its first owner. So where is its owner?"
Jiang Yao recalled the place where he got the jade pendant.
It was found in a gloomy cave deep in the Kunlun Mountains.
At that time, he touched the jade pendant and was transported to the real world. So he didn't have time to observe the grotto carefully.
But now that he thought about it, the grotto made him feel very strange.
He still remembered that there were strange textures on the stone walls.
Jiang Yao closed his eyes, and the soul power of Qinghun Realm began to circulate, and the vague strange patterns in his mind gradually became clear.
But even if he is an "archaeologist", he can't understand the weird yet moral texture at all.
Jiang Yao suddenly stretched out his hand to draw on the table and asked Yu Kuan: "Have you ever seen such a texture?"
Yu Yan frowned after looking at it, "This is very similar to the bone pattern that occurs after the death of a strong man and the realization of the sea of consciousness."
Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat, "What do you mean?"
Yu Kuan was indeed knowledgeable and said directly: "After the death of a strong man, the nine spiritual points will be realized. For example, the sea of consciousness often turns into a bone hole, the Zifu often turns into a lake, and the spiritual platform often turns into a piece of land.
Fog. The texture you painted is very similar to the bone pattern formed by the bone hole after the sea of consciousness is realized."
"It is said that the corpses of top powerful men will turn into hills and desolate forests."
Jiang Yao felt a little hairy on her body.
It turns out that the grotto is actually a bone cave created by the sea of consciousness after the death of a strong man?
He entered the consciousness of a dead person?
If this is really the case, then the previous owner of the Pisces Jade Pendant must have been very powerful during his lifetime. But such a person clearly had such a treasure as the Pisces Jade Pendant, but he still died suddenly in the wild. This can already explain a lot of problems.
Also, the jade pendant had a lot of energy at the time, and after so long, it could still be transferred through the interface. Obviously, its energy came from its previous owner.
Is it possible that it backfired on its previous owner and gained the energy that has lasted for thousands of years?
Yu Yan also understood, "You found the jade pendant in a powerful sea of consciousness bone cave? If this is true, it can almost prove my guess."
Jiang Yao did not deny it, "It should be in that bone hole."
Yu Kuan had a genuine expression on his face, "Such a high-level treasure, if a great master dies, he will definitely leave it to his family and friends, and rarely use it to bury him. Unless he dies unexpectedly and suddenly."
"It is difficult for a powerful person to be easily killed by the enemy. Even if he is about to die, he still has the opportunity to send a message to his relatives and friends. Before an expert dies outside, he will often send a message to others to inform others of the location of his death."
"The Pisces Jade Pendant is of a very high level, and its owner obviously had no one to collect and dispose of his body, so he must have died a violent death. So, does his violent death have anything to do with this thing?"
"High-level magic weapons all need to be refined before they can be used. You didn't have the means to refine them before, so you obviously didn't refine them. Unrefined treasures can be used at will, haha. It's evil. The more I think about it, the more evil it becomes."
Jiang Yao broke into a cold sweat unknowingly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
This thing seems to have a spirit.
It was brought to the real world by his own soul, but it was discovered by him for the second time by coincidence.
No one else noticed it, but he happened to find it for the second time?
Could it be that he has a predestined relationship?
Do you still dare to use this thing?
Yu Yan's tone softened: "However, since it is such a high-level treasure, it certainly cannot easily backfire on its owner. As long as you don't use it indiscriminately, I think it's fine. Otherwise, it's not a magic weapon."
"Just use it for the time being. Even if this thing has a spirit and your cultivation level is so low, it won't do anything to you, because it's not worth it. There are high-level magic weapons with evil spirits that can bite the master, but either the master's cultivation level is very high
, backlash can get great benefits. Or overuse can cause it to become disgusted."
"Just this time, you used the jade pendant with perfect energy to copy things frequently and used up all its energy in one day, just to make money. If it really has a spirit, how can it not be resentful? If it wants to be resentful, it will release
Resentment will make you feel uneasy."
"This is pretty good. At least it means that it is reminding you and doesn't want to fall out with you yet. The worse case scenario is that if you don't feel any discomfort, then it is probably because you want to plot against the owner. Tell me, are you unspeakably uneasy?"
Jiang Yao nodded, "It's true that I'm a little uneasy, but I can't tell what it is."
Yu Yan's expression relaxed, "That's it, I'm sure. There is a high-level evil spirit in the jade pendant. Today you have aroused its resentment and it is warning you. But fortunately, it will pay you back."
"You must remember that it is difficult to truly identify the owner of this kind of evil treasure. The relationship between you and him is more like cooperation, each getting what he needs. As long as you don't consume it excessively, it will not
It can easily come back to bite you."
"Such a magical treasure, even if I know there is something wrong with it, I still can't bear to throw it away. What should I do? Use it in moderation. Money is nothing. When I return to Yu clan, I will give you more money than you can spend in a thousand years."
Jiang Yao was silent for a while, "Okay. The idea of making a fortune from this thing seems to be just a wishful thinking."
In fact, if you think about it, you will understand that if this thing is really good, then any owner of it will eventually become the richest person in the world. This is obviously extremely unreasonable.
I was really blinded by my temporary greed. Fortunately, Yu Kuan reminded me.
Yu Kuan smiled and said: "It's okay to use it occasionally to make a fortune, just know how to use it properly."
…
Of course Jiang Yao would not treat himself badly. He spent thirty thousand to buy a life-saving fourth-level teleportation talisman. He also bought a set of high-end medicine refining tools.
There were also a lot of other purchases, spending a total of 40,000 yuan, and there were still 110,000 yuan in working capital.
It's time to close it.
At the end of May, after Jiang Yao said goodbye to Lord Qing, he left Qinghuang City with Yu Kuan, two "female assistants" with the same tails, and Feng Ke who took the initiative to send him to the fiefdom.
There were more than a hundred cavalry in the group, most of them were cavalry under Feng Ke. They were mainly escorting Jiang Yao's one million horses.
Wanli Ma was very fast, and after only half a day, Jiang Yao arrived in Mingshan County, which is surrounded by mountains.
The vitality of heaven and earth here is actually very strong, and the scenery is magnificent, with beautiful mountains and rivers. It is a good place.
Jiang Yao muttered a little.
Such a good place can definitely build a city. Why is there not even a small city?
When local casual cultivators saw Jiang Yao's group and the lord's flag, they all bowed with cold expressions, but had no intention of coming forward to pay their respects.
But when they found out Jiang Yao's identity, their expressions changed.
It turns out that the lord of Mingshan County is Jiang Yaoshi, who is famous among the Qing clan.
Everyone in the Qing Clan is aware of the various measures taken by ginger medicine to prevent viruses and fight epidemics some time ago. Even if they have never seen it, they all know that the Anti-Poison Office ordered the great pharmacist Jiang.
If it weren't for Jiang Yaoshi, I don't know how many martial arts cultivators would have been infected by the poisonous epidemic and lost their cultivation.
"Is it really Mr. Zhongda?"
"It must be true. Fellow Taoists in Qinghuang City said that Mr. Zhongda is the Lord of Mingshan!"
"Since it's Mr. Zhongda, I'd better go and see Yier."
"Fellow Taoist, let's go together!"
Soon, a large group of local casual cultivators appeared in front of Jiang Yao, all of whom were warriors.
"Mr. Zhongda! I'll be polite!"
Everyone bowed their hands and saluted with respect.
If the lord were changed, they would never be so enthusiastic.
Yu Kan couldn't help but feel a little moved. She never thought that Jiang Yao's reputation would be so great.
How long has it been?
It has only been half a year since the two of them came to Qing clan.
Jiang Yao dismounted and leaned on the snake staff, "Fellow Taoists, without courtesy, I have been granted the title of Mingshan by the lord. From now on, I will be the same as my fellow Taoists."
These casual cultivators are all local poor people, belonging to small families with martial arts inheritance. Due to limited resources, most of them stay in the realm of warriors for life, and none of them can break through to the level of martial master.
Most martial arts cultivators in the world are in this state. They belong to the most common group of people in the martial arts world.
They were high and mighty in front of mortals and were respectfully called Masters of Martial Arts, but in front of the lords, they were just ordinary people.
However, Ginger Yao didn't put on any pretense at all.
The casual cultivators never expected that the lord was so approachable.
Then, a group of casual cultivators accompanied Jiang Yao and his party to the Lord's Mansion. It was said to be the Lord's Mansion, but in fact it had been abandoned for hundreds of years and had long been no longer called the Lord's Mansion. But the location of the Lord's Mansion was the best.
.
Soon, Jiang Yao saw a large manor with thousands of serfs working on the manor.
Near the manor, there are mortal villages.
"Ling Du, who is in charge of the farmers on this manor?" Jiang Yao asked a casual cultivator he had just met.
Ling Du was a late-stage warrior, so he quickly handed it over: "As the lord said, they manage themselves. As long as they pay the full amount of spiritual rice every year, the spiritual silk will be enough. The tax collector of the king's mansion will come to check every two or three months.
"
Jiang Yao asked again: "What if they don't pay enough?"
"Those who do not pay enough will of course be killed." Ling Du replied, "Lord, don't worry, lives are at stake. Very few of them dare to be lazy. If you are lazy, you will not be able to pay taxes, and if you can't pay, you will die. Therefore, absolutely
Most slaves are hard-working."
Jiang Yao had been a mortal slave, so of course he didn't believe it.
As long as the taxes are paid in full, the warlords will ignore it. It seems to be the old-fashioned way, and the people are self-governing. It feels very good, but in fact it is not the case at all.
Because even public security is autonomous.
Among mortals, various criminal incidents occur one after another, and family fights are extremely serious.
Between manors and manors, and between villages, they are often like enemies.
Even in the same village and in the same manor, they are still fighting each other.
A plate of loose sand.
This is the consequence of complete autonomy.
As Jiang Yao approached the manor, Ling Du took the initiative to act as Jiang Yao's family member: "The lord has personally arrived, and all the slaves have come to kneel down to greet him! If he doesn't take ten breaths, he will die!"
With a bang, thousands of serfs rushed over, kneeling on the ground in a dark mass.
"This servant pays homage to the lord!" Thousands of people kowtowed deeply, and almost everyone's body was trembling like chaff.
Many slaves have a thought in their minds: "When the new lord arrives, will he find a reason to kill people and establish his authority?"
Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel a little sore in her eyes when she looked at the thousands of mortals kneeling on the ground, claiming to be slaves, like leaves falling in the wind.
Why is this happening? Why is it happening like this?
In fact, you don't need to kneel to me, let alone call yourself a slave.
But Jiang Yao had no intention of asking them to stand up without any courtesy.
Because that doesn't fit the character of a lord.
At this time, he must not be independent, unconventional, or rashly challenge the strict hierarchy.
…
Jiang Yao did not patrol around, but went directly to the lord's mansion that had been abandoned for hundreds of years.
The Abandoned Lord's Mansion is located on a hillside with a wide view. It is in a good location, but it gives people an extremely desolate and desolate feeling.
At this time, the sun was setting and it was getting dark, and this building made people feel a little weird.
Feng Ke looked at it and said to Jiang Yao: "Brother Zhongda, this place is ominous."
Jiang Yao silently looked at the abandoned mansion in front of him, his face expressionless.
"Lord, it is rumored that this place is very strange, and people say it is ominous. Moreover, it is also a long-abandoned lord's mansion. Lord, it is not advisable to take risks." (Please be the first to order)
