Although Heiwo Township is only 600 miles away from the county seat, this is already the fourth stop on the journey to get married, and we didn’t arrive until the afternoon.
Ever since Yang Zhen expressed her wish, Hei Tuyue's impression of him has changed greatly. She no longer answered the questions in a perfunctory manner, and even took the initiative to explain the customs and customs of each place when passing through the first three towns.
This made Yang Zhen feel that she had gained a lot.
At the end, Heituyue also introduced Heiwo Township to him generously.
Heiwo means black fertile fields. Heiwo Township is located in the center of the black land in Wushui County, covering an area of 100,000 square kilometers. It is the famous granary of Wushan County.
The Black Tu clan was originally a small shaman tribe deep in the Million Mountains. Later, the territory was increasingly invaded by monsters, so they had to move to this plain area, and took the Black Tu clan as their surname.
Therefore, to this day, the Black Tu clan still retains some of the traditions of the witch clan. But when it comes to this, Heituyue smiled sweetly and refused to say it clearly, letting Yang Zhen slowly understand it these days.
While he was talking, a city with a circumference of only a few miles appeared at his feet. From a distance, he could see the tall and majestic city walls, with battlements and turrets on them. In addition to the east side built against the mountain, there were also urns built at the other three gates in the south, west, and north, with urns standing on both sides.
Tall watchtower.
It is like an indestructible military fortress.
Yang Zhen couldn't help but marvel.
At this time, Heituyue took out a piece of paper kite, stretched out her hand and flicked it, and saw the paper kite turned into a breeze and flew away towards a dock on the mountain.
The spacecraft landed slowly outside the west gate.
There were about ten people getting off the boat in Heiwo countryside, and almost the same number of people were queuing up to get on the boat.
Almost all of these people knew Heituyue. Some had already seen him on the ship, while others bowed from afar after seeing him. There were monks and mortals among them.
It can be seen that although her cultivation level is not high, her status in the Black Tu family is not low.
At this moment, the city gate suddenly opened and a group of people came out.
The leader was a dark-faced young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He walked quickly towards Yang Zhen without stopping.
"Ayue, you're back!" He greeted Heituyue first, then turned his gaze to Yang Zhen, looking up and down, with a slight surprise in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, I saw him clasping his hands, bowing his head and making a respectful salute.
"Heitu Woming, I have met Master Yang."
Yang Zhen checked the information, and when she heard the name, she knew that this was the patriarch of the Black Tu family. She hurried forward, bowed her head and received the hand, and returned the gift:
"You're welcome, Chief of the Black Earth Clan. I'm not as good at cultivation as the Clan Chief, so you can just call me Yang Zhen."
"How can that be done?" Kurotsuchi Woming hurriedly declined.
After some humility, we finally addressed each other as senior brother and junior brother, which not only took care of both parties, but also prevented any division.
At this time, Heituyue came over and called softly: "Daddy."
It turns out that this black girl is actually the daughter of the patriarch! Yang Zhen suddenly realized. These circumstances were not mentioned in the few pages of superficial information.
What he was even more curious about was the age of the Black Earth Clan leader. Judging from his appearance, he was only in his early teens.
Generally speaking, such a young foundation-building monk has a bright future, and rarely marries early and has children, delaying his own practice. This one is better, his daughter is already so old, I don’t know if it is the rule of the Black Tu family.
With a smile on his face, Kurotsuchi Woming held Yang Zhen's arm and walked side by side. Yang Zhen was not used to the ancient way of expressing affection, but she was too embarrassed to break away, so she could only encourage herself secretly, tightening her arms and keeping a straight posture.
A state where you can break free at any time.
The leader of the Black Earth Clan was shocked. Even though he did not use all his strength, the cultivation level of the second level of foundation building was here. This young man was only at the eighth level of Qi training, and he actually had the illusion that he could not catch him!
Are the inner disciples of Yunxiao Sect so terrifying?
……
The city is not big, so the group of people quickly passed through the city and meandered up the mountain road. The leader of the Black Earth Clan introduced them as they walked, and they arrived at Wubao within a quarter of an hour.
In a living room in the fort with obvious Wu Clan style decoration, the two parties sat down separately as guest and host. After a few chats, Yang Zhen directly stated the purpose of his visit:
"Junior brother happened to be selected by the sect to be the leader of the county. However, he felt that he was young and had little knowledge, and had little strength but heavy responsibilities. He was afraid that he would not live up to the sect's high expectations. Therefore, he wanted to walk around and experience the customs of this county.
So as not to make mistakes and make people laugh."
Hei Tuyue, who was sitting next to me, understood what he heard now, and recalled Yang Zhen's questions along the way. Only then did he know the other person's true intention of following him out, and he couldn't help but look at the young man with admiration with his beautiful eyes.
Immediately he recalled his initial misunderstanding, and couldn't help but feel a little fever on his face.
The leader of the Black Earth Clan was also slightly surprised. He glanced at his daughter, but saw that she had a twitchy look on her face and lowered her head in silence, which made her heart move.
"Junior Brother Yang's move is a great kindness!" He clapped his hands and praised: "We, all the monks and mortals in Wushui County, will be blessed in the future with Master Yang in charge, haha!"
Then the topic changed: "There are twelve townships in this county, but I don't know why Mr. Yang chose me, Heiwo Township?"
After saying that, he glanced at his daughter again.
Yang Zhen ignored his thoughts and answered honestly: "Our host chose this place as his first stop because of the recommendation of Mr. Liu. County Magistrate Liu said that Heiwo Township has a prosperous population and the people live in peace. It can be said to be the best district in the county.
”
"Haha!" Kurotsuchi Woming was overjoyed when he heard this, but he couldn't hide his disappointment.
Next, according to Yang Zhen's request, he laid out a map and pointed:
"Our Heiwo Township has a total of 100,000 residents, including 12,000 Heiwo Castle and 14 villages with populations ranging from 3,000 to 8,000. I wonder which village Master Yang would like to choose for inspection?" p>
Yang Zhen looked at it intently. This map almost gave a clear view of the mountains and rivers of Heiwo Township. Fourteen villages were scattered around with Heiwo Fort as the center, and the farthest distance was only two hundred miles.
Further outside, there is an inaccessible wasteland. Except for a few mountains and lakes that are marked, there is a large tract of blank space.
That is the world of monsters.
It's a pity that such a beautiful river and mountain, Yang Zhen sighed in her heart, thought about it for a moment, and chose the farthest village.
"Aishan Village, just go here!"
"Here..." Heitu Woming muttered: "This place is not far from the desert. Monsters appear from time to time. I will send a few more people to accompany you tomorrow."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"No need." Yang Zhen said, "Give me a letter of introduction and I will go there."
"How can that be done!" Kurotsuchi shook his head vigorously, disagreeing in any case.
There was another argument, and in the end both sides gave in. Only one person accompanied them, and it was Kurotsuchue.
That night, the Black Tu family held a grand banquet, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. Needless to say.
Yang Zhen stayed in the Wubao, and that night a maid came to stay with her. She was a female nun from the Black Tu family, but Yang Zhen politely declined.
……
On the morning of the next day, Yang Zhen drove her flying boat towards Aishan Village.
There were three people on the boat. In addition to Heituyue, there was also a man named Lu Xiaoshan.
Yang Zhen specially called this person here early in the morning, and his identity is the resident disciple of Heiwo Township.
Lu Xiaoshan is a commoner from a neighboring village. This is in line with the regulations of the Yunxiao Sect, that is, the disciples stationed in the village cannot be locals, so as to avoid the phenomenon of engaging in malpractice for personal gain or seeking to dominate one side.
However, although Lu Xiaoshan is not a local, he has already married into the Black Tu family, so this sect's rule is almost in name only.
The salary of the disciples stationed in the village is very low, usually two spiritual stones per month. Places with good conditions, such as Wushui County, will have an extra subsidy, which adds up to only three spiritual stones per month.
With just these few spiritual stones, I can barely maintain my cultivation level. It is almost impossible to take a step forward on the path to immortality. Therefore, the disciples stationed in the hometown and those with a little bit of brainpower will have other part-time jobs.
With just a few words, Yang Zhen found out that Lu Xiaoshan also had a shop in Heiwo Castle, selling the most famous talismans in this place.
Many of the talismans of the Black Earth Family are witchcraft unique to the witch clan, such as curses, blessings, etc., as well as weakness, slowness, sadness, sensitivity, etc., which are various auxiliary spells.
Yang Zhen has not tried it whether it is effective, but as a specialty, it is still sought after by many people.
With this shop, Lu Xiaoshan has a balance of at least ten or twenty spiritual stones every month, and his life is quite comfortable.
Half an hour later, the flying boat arrived at Aishan Village.
……
Although it is said to be a village, it is actually a fort. Although it is not as fortified, tall and solid as the black fort owned by Kurotsuchi, it still has the same number of defensive facilities.
Presumably because the news was received in advance, there was already a group of people waiting outside the village.
The flying boat landed in front of these people, and an old man with gray hair on his temples but still straight back and chest stepped forward to greet Yang Zhen.
This is the village chief of Aishan Village. There are several people behind him. Except for the two monks who are slightly thin, the others all look strong and powerful. They are the guards of the village.
Although the village chief was old, his hands were strong and strong. He held Yang Zhen's arm with a smile and walked forward. Yang Zhen had no choice but to let him hold her.
Soon they arrived at the village chief's home. After a few chats, Yang Zhen took out a pen and paper and began to ask about the number of people in the village, male to female ratio, age structure, main industries, food and clothing conditions, disasters and deaths, self-defense capabilities, external environment, etc. Many of them were terms from his previous life. He explained and asked questions at the same time.
I write and draw with the hard pen in my hand from time to time, recording key points.
Heituyue watched from the side and was very surprised. This was the first time she saw an immortal cultivator paying so much attention to the lives of ordinary people.
At first, when the village chief saw that Yang Zhen was young and was carrying the most beautiful flower in the clan, Heituyue, he thought he was a playboy looking for a name to travel around the mountains and rivers. Only then did he realize that this young man was actually
Seriously.
As a result, when I was talking and couldn't answer some questions, I was so nervous that I sweated on my forehead.
When Yang Zhen saw this, she stopped asking questions. The village chief took a long breath and saw that it was already noon, so he quickly ordered people to put on the banquet.
After the luncheon, Yang Zhen proposed to visit a few more homes.
"In broad daylight, you are either working in the fields or hunting in the mountains." The old village chief pondered for a moment and slapped his thigh: "Feng Caimei should be at home. You should go to her house and have a look."
