Seeing the tall mountain gate of Evil Tiger Village, Wu Dong felt as calm as water.
At this moment, he has left Linjiang Town and returned to his familiar village.
The time he left was not very long, just over a year, but in his heart it felt like a world away.
During this period, for unknown reasons, my soul traveled to the world of Zongying in the late Qing Dynasty and stayed there for almost a hundred years.
If his mental will were not strong enough, it would be difficult for him to adapt in a short time after coming back, and he would have to reveal his secret.
At present, he has basically digested and absorbed the benefits brought by soul penetration, and his strength has reached the level of Qi and Blood Pill Strength. He can definitely be considered a master no matter where he is.
At least, as far as he knew, the top martial arts in this world were almost the heavenly and human level in terms of internal strength, and the realm of Gangjin in terms of external strength.
Although he has only reached the level of qi and blood elixir strength, if he were to fight Yun Feiyang in a life-and-death fight, he would not be without his strength.
Of course, Qi and Blood Danjin focuses on controlling oneself, and the performance will not be as exaggerated as that of the Heavenly and Human Zhenqi warriors. It seems that the strength is not as good as it is.
Wu Dong naturally did not take this to heart. He united with the Chu royal family to kill the Luoshui League fleet and obtained thirty large merchant ships as trophies. He did not stay in Linjiang Town longer and said goodbye to a group of colleagues.
Then left quietly.
First return to the village, meet with the village's senior management to get familiar with it, and then go to a lower county to take up the position of sub-rudder.
These have all been discussed long ago.
The condition for the village to win over him, a master of external skills, depends on which county it is in.
If he didn't need the platform of Evil Tiger Village, and also needed the information collected by Evil Tiger Village, he could go anywhere with his current level of cultivation.
He always felt that the world here would not be so simple.
The mere celestial warriors are the ceiling, as if they are on the same level as the world of celestial beings.
But in fact, based on the strength of the warriors he has seen and the several battles he has participated in, he feels that this world is more like the world of Fengyun.
He can wield air swords and qi swords measured in feet at every turn, and the celestial warriors can even split mountains and cut rivers. Their strength is exaggerated to a certain extent.
Wu Dong didn't believe it. With such an active expression of the vitality of heaven and earth in this world, how could there be no higher-level powerful people?
But, for some unknown reason, it was not made known to the world.
Wu Dong asked himself, if he became a Sanren warrior, it would be unrealistic to know the answer by himself.
Only through big forces, forces that are involved in the deep secrets of this world, can we know more truth.
Otherwise, after a while, after breaking through the level of Gang Jin, wouldn't it be possible to completely lie down?
The so-called Gang Jin is actually not as magical as imagined. Wu Dong asked himself that he would be able to achieve it soon.
For no other reason than his mental strength is extremely strong.
Gang Jin, on the other hand, just releases the power that can only be condensed inside the body through certain conditions, forming a realm like an energy shield.
If you want to reach the level of Gangjin, or the stable release of strength, the control of the body, especially the control of the internal organs, must reach a certain level.
At the same time, the cultivation of the Spine Dragon must also reach a certain level.
Then, combined with the already tempered muscles, skin, and a certain level of bones, you can reach the level of strength.
To put it bluntly, it is the opposite of the method of condensing Qi and Blood Danjin.
Qi and Blood Dan Jin concentrates the energy of Qi and blood in the whole body to a certain point, while Gang Jin releases all the energy of Qi and blood to the outside.
As for whether this is the case, it will naturally become clear once his strength reaches this level and he tries it.
If he really reaches the level of Gang Jin, can he be said to be invincible?
This is not a joke. Wu Dong would never believe such a good thing.
The trip to this village gave Wu Dong a good feel for what strength equals status, and how much strength equals how much respect.
The leader personally entertained the guests, and the elders and the hall master at home spoke enthusiastically.
After close contact, Wu Dong clearly sensed the aura of the heavenly warrior on the leader of the Evil Tiger Village. As for the elders and hall masters of the village, none of them were below the peak of their innate strength.
Especially the leader of the battle hall, whose strength has reached the level of a heavenly being, is only half as weak as Longtou.
Suddenly sensing the auras of more than a dozen peak innate and celestial warriors, Wu Dong clearly realized how strong the high-end combat power of Evil Tiger Village was.
But that's it. Evil Tiger Village is just the weakest of the three major gangs in Jiangling County. So how exaggerated are the high-end strengths of the other two, the Big Sword League and the Hanjiang Gang?
The Song Dynasty where Jiangling County is located has seven counties.
Including the royal family, how many powerful gangs should there be? The number of strong men among them is absolutely astonishing.
Even heavenly and human warriors will never reach the point where they can dominate the world.
After a few days of getting to know each other and attending a few days of banquets, Wu Dong was officially appointed as the helmsman of Xiushui County under the jurisdiction of Evil Tiger Village, taking charge of all government and military affairs in the entire county.
The local gangs in the Song Dynasty were so awesome that they almost took all local governance rights under their control.
Of course, the only ones who can do this are the three major gangs in Jiangling County.
It's not that the three major gangs in Jiangling County are very good, but that Jiangling County is remote enough.
This place was not taken seriously by the Song Dynasty court at all. The gangs in other major counties may be stronger, but they could only share the power of local governance and finance and taxation with the local government.
Of course, if they are managed well, the development potential of the three major gangs in Jiangling County is also quite amazing.
Wu Dong knew all this, so there was no need to say it out loud.
However, when he saw the geographical location of Xiushui County from the village's secret power map, he almost couldn't help but reveal his thoughts.
Damn, Xiushui County is the closest county to Linjiang Town, separated by hundreds of miles of dense mountains and forests.
In other words, the closest section to the canal section excavated by Wu Dong was only fifty miles away from the county area.
If the Linjiang Town Canal is completely dug, the connecting inland river will be the Xiushui River.
After doing it again and again, we finally became neighbors in Linjiang Town.
As for the mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, it is called Yuexiu Mountain.
Due to the existence of Yuexiu Mountain, the economic situation of both Linjiang Town and Xiushui County is not very good.
Wu Dong didn't care much about this. Once the canal in Linjiang Town was dug, it would be difficult for Xiushui County to develop.
He didn't stay in the village for long. He felt that the relationship between the higher-ups was a bit delicate, and he didn't want to know about it or get involved.
During this period, I quietly went home and took a look.
The yard at home has not been inhabited for a long time and looks a bit dilapidated.
He declined the suggestion that the village send people to repair it or build a new compound, as he did not want to make any noise.
The village where his family lived was full of old, weak, women and children. When someone was in trouble, he would quietly help a group, but he was unwilling to give others any unrealistic illusions.
Human nature is something that you really shouldn’t test, otherwise you will only be the one who is depressed in the end.
As for the three younger brothers who were close to each other in the inner sect, he just glanced at them from afar and asked about their situation without any intention of disturbing them.
These three younger brothers, perhaps because they had a good foundation at the beginning, performed well in the inner sect. They are not amazingly talented, but they are still outstanding.
It is enough to know this. After they leave from the inner sect, we can take them under our control. There is really no need to show up now.
It was almost the same as when I left last time. There were a group of inner and outer disciples around me, as well as several handyman disciples.
They all followed Wu Dong to Xiushui Tuo to do work, and the village has gradually formed such a rule.
These guys are very happy to know that the new helmsman who follows Xiu Shuihui has taken office.
In particular, when they saw that Wu Dong was young and had a good temper, some of his peers who were outgoing and socially talented took the opportunity to actively build friendships.
Wu Dong didn't put on any airs, but he didn't mean to get too close either.
The main thing is to get to know each other, and to give some pointers on the martial arts cultivation of these young brothers.
With his experience in Linjiang Town, he knew that his younger brothers were too weak and would have to endure hardships when they arrived at the helm.
When the Linjiang Town Canal is opened, a large number of foreign warriors will naturally come there, which will put great pressure on any branch helm.
Wu Dong wanted to have less trouble, so he naturally hoped that his subordinates would be as capable as possible.
Traveling in the core area controlled by the cottage is quite easy and comfortable.
First we took a carriage, then we took a boat, and we arrived at Xiushui County in a smooth journey.
Unexpectedly, at the gate of the city there was a senior officer of the branch, waiting for a long time with a group of confidants.
Wu Dong just glanced at them lightly, and his heart immediately became clear.
Sure enough, the situation in the normal local branch is very different from that in our village and the newly established branch in Linjiang Town.
It gave him a strange feeling.
They meet each other, get to know each other with greetings, and then just have a non-nutritious small talk.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but anyway, the people coming from the branch and Wu Dong and his party stayed in the pavilion near the city gate for a long time, attracting many inquisitive and curious eyes.
Wu Dong didn't care about this, and followed the people from the branch into the city, and then walked along the noisy street towards the branch.
The street is quite bustling, and the flow of people is considerable.
Of course it can't be compared to the places I passed by in Shangxian and Zhongxian, but it's not too bad either.
However, on the main street entering the city, he actually saw several businesses that should not be there, and the business was quite busy, which was a bit abnormal.
At the end of the main street, there is a large government building, which is where the county government of Xiushui County is located. It is quite interesting to have the government officials guarding it.
It doesn't mean that the government of Jiangling County fell into the hands of the three major gangs, so the Song Dynasty court stopped sending officials. Even if it was a mascot, it still had to declare the imperial power.
However, life is not easy for puppets, and it is impossible for officials with connections and backgrounds to be sent to Xiushui.
As for the Xiushui County Magistrate, he still needs to have a good relationship with him in the future, but now is not the time...
