As November enters, the weather starts to get colder even in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
But even so, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of people in the two provinces to open up wasteland.
The government provided cattle for farming and various agricultural tools for clearing wasteland, and provided two meals a day, and the people only needed to provide help.
Moreover, the land reclaimers can get half of the cultivated land, and the rest will be used as military land, and they will be exempted from any taxes for three years.
These policies completely inspired the people's enthusiasm for land reclamation.
In fact, at first, Song Xuan planned to confiscate the homes of some gentry and wealthy families and distribute their fields to the common people, but this proposal was rejected by both Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen.
According to them, human nature is insatiable, and things obtained for free are never cherished. Only when people cultivate the fields they have obtained through their own efforts will they feel at ease and safe!
Song Xuan understood that these two people were afraid that they would become addicted to confiscating homes and would go out to confiscate homes and exterminate clans when they were short of money. If this was completely allowed to happen, they would definitely stand in opposition to the entire gentry class in the world.
On this day, Song Xuan, escorted by Lao Liu and three hundred green-clad Guards, left the city and began his inspection.
The whole day, Lao Liu looked nervous. As a result, after waiting for a whole day, the expected assassin did not appear.
When the sky turned dark, a group of people came to a pier and prepared to take a boat back to Jinling City.
The Tsing Yi Guards began to set up defenses on the dock and inspected the surrounding ships. After a careful search, they found nothing amiss.
"Sir, are they too afraid to show up?"
Song Xuan shook his head, "No, they have already appeared!"
As he spoke, he looked toward a forest not far from the dock.
And at the moment when he finished speaking, a figure soared out of the forest like a dragon, and with a palm shot, cold light shot out, and the icy aura instantly filled the void and struck Song Xuan in the air.
At the same time, in the river, a figure jumped out from the water, bringing up a wave of water several feet high, carrying the power of the wave and falling from the sky. With a palm shot, there was the faint sound of a water dragon roaring, covering the sky and the earth.
All directions.
At this time, the bright moon was bright and the cold stars were shining on the riverside.
The two masters suddenly took action, their internal force as majestic as ocean waves, one after another, the wind of their palms roared and vibrated like thunder, and the boundless murderous aura swept in, causing the ground to buzz and tremble, and sand, stone, and dust to scatter everywhere!
Painful!
At the same time, Song Xuan drew his sword!
The divine sword was unsheathed, and the night sky was whitened by the cold light. The sharp and swift sword energy was as straight as the Milky Way pouring down, sweeping across the sky.
Click click click.
As the sword energy roared, there began to be a continuous tearing sound on the hard ground. The cracks extended like spider webs and cracked inch by inch!
Tsk!
The sword energy first collided with the water waves behind him, and the water flow was torn like cloth, forcing the assassin hidden in the water waves to retreat with one blow.
And at this moment, the assassin who attacked from the woods was approaching. The internal energy surged in the palm of his hand, turning into a whirlpool of ice, and slapped Song Xuan on the forehead.
If this palm hits hard, no matter how hard you are, you will be torn apart in an instant and die without a complete body!
Keng!
The sound of metal collision resounded through the night sky, but the sword in Song Xuan's hand was thrust straight out at some point, and collided head-on with the slapped palm.
The next moment, the sword energy overflowed, and the violent friction sound made people's ears itch. There was only a puff, and a touch of crimson seeped out from the tip of the sword. The assassin's palm, which was harder than gold and iron, was pierced by the sword!
The palm of his hand was pierced, and the attacker let out a groan of pain, tapped his toes lightly on the ground, and moved his body back, instantly widening the distance.
As he retreated, he shouted loudly, "This man has already mastered the art of swordsmanship. Let's quickly join forces and unleash Xuan Ming Qi!"
As he finished speaking, he saw that the two assassins began to approach each other. Then the two of them started to use their skills, and as their internal energy surged, they turned into a vortex in front of them that exuded an extremely cold aura.
"I really didn't expect that in this world, besides Zhang Sanfeng, there are people who need us, Xuan Ming, to join forces to deal with them!"
The visitors are the two elders Xuan Ming.
This side of the world is known as the two strongest people next to Zhang Sanfeng.
Fighting alone, the strength of the two may not be the best, but when the two join forces, their inner strength merges with each other and can be transformed into Xuanming Zhenqi. They once resisted Zhang Sanfeng's palm without dying, and they became famous all over the world!
Zhang Sanfeng has dominated the world for a long time, and there are only a handful of people in the world who can withstand a palm in his hand without dying!
At this moment, Song Xuan stood on the same spot, the tip of his sword pointing diagonally at the ground, his expression solemn as never before.
An extremely special force locked him, as if somehow, the whole world began to reject him.
"Is this the innate power?"
Song Xuan realized in his heart that the so-called innateness should not only be as simple as the transformation of internal force into true energy, but also a transformation of spiritual will.
After stepping into Xiantian, you can gather your martial arts will. Under the pressure of your will, you can bring extremely heavy oppression to the enemy, locking the enemy in, making him unable to escape!
The two elders of Xuan Ming have not stepped into the innate realm, at most they have just touched the threshold.
But even so, the two of them joined forces to evolve Xuanming Zhenqi and burst out the pressure of martial arts will, which still brought heavy pressure to Song Xuan.
If he hadn't practiced in the Sword Valley for two years and endured the impact of Dugu Qiufei's mental will for a long time, he would have been hard-pressed to even hold the sword in his hand at this moment.
At this moment, a long roar sounded from a distance, the sound was like spring thunder, breaking through all the evil atmosphere. Song Xuan suddenly felt his heart relax, and his body, which was originally a little heavy, began to become lighter.
"No, it's Zhang Sanfeng!"
The two Xuan Ming elders, who were still accumulating Xuan Ming's Qi and preparing to strike the strongest blow, suddenly changed their expressions after hearing the roaring sound. They could no longer care about anything else. They struck out with one palm at the same time.
Xuanming's true energy seemed to turn into a long dragon with cold light, locking Song Xuan and roaring out.
At this moment, visible to the naked eye, rubble was flying on the ground, and dense ravines appeared on the ground as if it had been devastated by a hurricane. The bodies of more than a dozen Tsing Yi guards were instantly thrown away and fell heavily to the ground, life or death unknown.
Song Xuan pushed Wudang Tiyunzong's body skills to the extreme, but no matter how he retreated, he could not escape the palm power of Xuanming's true energy.
"Qingshu, if you just retreat blindly, you will never have the possibility to step into the innate world again in this life!"
In his ears, the gentle voice of the Grand Master came. Song Xuan looked sideways, but saw that not far away, the Grand Master was wearing a Taoist robe, as if he was walking on air. Unexpectedly, he had blocked the Xuanming Zhenqi.
In front of the long dragon of melted ice.
But as he waved his sleeves and qi energy around his body, a black and white Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram appeared out of thin air. As soon as the Xuan Ming Qi came into contact, it dissipated and turned into particles of light that dispersed in the night sky.
