Chapter 37: Dreams entrusted by gods, high-grade evil spirits
In her sleep, Xiong Ying dreamed of a string of fire.
A shadow three feet tall walked out of the flames.
A look through the firelight.
This person has black and white Dharma patterns, steps on a giant khaki python, and has blue eyes between his eyebrows that shine with divine light.
This is a simple illusion.
Xiong Ying was startled at first, then stood up and bowed down.
"Ying, pay homage to the Lord God!"
Xiong Ying saw ghosts and gods coming to see him, and thought it might be to see his business results, so he told the development of the territory over the years one by one.
There are more than 7,000 acres of cultivated land, of which 6,000 acres are divided among 300 households.
One thousand acres is public land, probably cultivated by the guards.
The remaining people make a living by fishing and hunting.
"In accordance with the instructions of the Shenhou, I will gradually cancel public fields and distribute the land to households with meritorious service. The income from land reclamation will first be public land, and then rewarded to those with meritorious service."
In this era, most of the land belonged to the nobility.
Slaves bear the labor servitude and hand over the income from the land. They can only get a meager income and have no power.
The Chinese have land and turn in part of their income every year. They can serve as soldiers and hold positions.
But all the glory belongs to the nobles.
It is natural for Chinese people to serve in the army. There is no such thing as rewards and promotions for meritorious service. After performing your duties, you should do whatever you want when you return home.
As for rewards, promotions, etc., they are given by the big nobles to the small nobles.
If I want it, I can only hope that the lord above will show mercy.
Xiong Ying's move is equivalent to canceling the concept of slaves.
We are all Chinese and have our own land. After paying taxes, it is ours. If we work hard, we can still have some savings.
If you perform meritorious service, you will have private land, which undoubtedly increases your enthusiasm.
Thinking of this, Xiong Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "The teacher's family is the same, but everyone seems to regard us as barbarians."
"Be careful."
Tang Ping was not too surprised.
Sacrifice is different from others, and the system is also different.
Being so different from the mainstream, it would be strange not to be regarded as a barbarian.
It's just a small fight now, but as time goes by, what you will face in the future will not be as simple as being despised.
If you want to find a new path, you can only rely on blood and fire.
Tang Ping just reminded that if an ethnic group wants to grow, it will inevitably have some twists and turns.
"I have a magical method, a method of cutting grass. You must remember it!"
Tang Ping talks about the method of taking bait and the ritual of cutting mountains and cutting grass.
The ritual of cutting mountains and cutting grass can only be used after at least one or two years.
You can take bait at any time.
"With this method, the tribe's strength will be greatly enhanced, and it can also develop in more remote places."
The method of cultivation in the world has always been in the hands of the nobles.
After today, the Xiong family and the Zhang family will step into the ranks of cultivating families, with the highest number of monks approaching the late stage of Evil Soul.
In the future, if you cooperate with your secret method of Taiyin Food Evil, it will not be surprising to see the wandering god appear.
"Thereafter, the sacrifices of Tinghou, Tree God and Sikong were divided into two sacrifices: the spring festival and the 15th day of the seventh month. These two sacrifices will be the rules from now on."
At the beginning of spring, the yin energy is stronger at night, so you can absorb the sacrifices by wearing feather clothes.
In this way, the territory can be increased by about two feet every year.
Now that the Zhang family and the Xiong family are separated, the family may even increase by four feet a year.
As for the more advanced Four Sacrifice of Heaven and Earth, they are not qualified yet.
The so-called two sacrifices are actually “family sacrifices”.
The more advanced Four Sacrifice of Heaven and Earth is the Official Sacrifice.
At least you have the title of baron and you have to have your own feudal country like the Zuo family (the country is surrounded by four walls, so in theory the Zuo family can also be called the Zuo country)
"As you command!"
In a flash of light, Tang Ping disappeared.
Wow!
Xiong Ying sat up in shock. There was no one around, and the clear information in his mind proved that this was not a dream.
"Come here, call the wizard!"
The Zhang family is a small family with over a hundred clansmen, three hundred countrymen, and thousands of slaves.
Mainly engaged in forestry and animal husbandry, and logging for the main family.
Zhang Qi also encountered the same situation.
"Marquis Shen, we have heard about the Tang family."
"Oh? Tell me."
Tang Ping has knowledge of this world in his mind, but the relevant memories of the underworld are very vague, or forgotten.
The Tang family is a family from Tang Pingyang, Zhang Qi does not know this relationship.
"The Kingdom of Jing is a viscounty country, with three ministers and six senior officials. The Tang family was a water officer of the ancient Jingjun. Later, he was granted a fief for his meritorious service and became one of the senior officials. Thirty years ago, the senior official of the Tang Dynasty was dismissed by the king because he opposed Yu Ren's interference in politics.
He ordered five horses to be quartered and his territory was deprived of him."
Some branches of the Tang family ran away, while others were beheaded during their escape.
One of the direct descendants was killed at the mouth of the river, and the person who did it was none other than Wu Jiayu.
Yu people believe in their nobility, so how can they not feel angry when they hear the Tang family's remarks about "wearing feathers and horns, and wetness gives birth to eggs"?
Tang Ping flew back to the banyan tree.
"I see, Yu Renqing, I will remember you..."
Tang Ping was also thinking about whether he could find the Yangjian family to help him.
Unexpectedly, the clan was exterminated.
The person who directly killed him was from Wu Jiayu, and indirectly it was naturally Jing Jun.
"I must avenge this revenge."
He doesn't have much affection for his predecessor's family. The key is to avenge the destruction of his body.
Ghosts have no meridians, no skin and flesh, and their souls are exposed. It takes a lot of effort to cultivate.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a ghost spirit to become a saint.
In many cases, it is not that Tang Ping is cowardly, but that ghosts are indeed inconvenient to take risks.
When Tang Shen fought with Yu Men, there were tens of thousands of ghosts and the momentum was huge.
As a result, someone blew it with the wind, and the soul was exposed to the wind and light, and died in a large area.
It is better to develop the yin soil and master the two realms of yin and yang as soon as possible.
Just as he was thinking about it, Tang Ping floated above the banyan tree.
The shade of a mile is like a dark green umbrella, located in a deep and dense forest.
Twenty-Zhang Yintu is quite small, but some places around it are pretty good.
Although it is not as good as the earth python on the other side of the twenty-foot yin soil, it has the nature of a blessed land.
If other places operate patiently, they can still achieve some output.
"No...why didn't I think of that?"
Tang Ping slapped his head and felt that he had gone astray.
Yin soil expands slowly, but you don’t have to wait.
The twenty-foot blessed land can be regarded as one's own homeland, and no one wants other places, so one can completely expand out with some points.
As for the five Yin soldiers, each of them can bring two paper figures and entrust them to manage the Yin land, just like the Yang world.
For example, the Zuo family, although they claim a territory of three hundred miles, is actually only about twenty or thirty miles away from the core area. This is a typical example of covering an area with points.
It's a pity that the paper man is a small person, and he can only control twelve paper men at the same time.
Let’s see if a few of the other ghost soldiers can learn to practice and learn the paper mantra.
Tang Ping flew high into the sky and opened his Dharma eyes.
"The ground three hundred feet away from here in the east has good shade. It's about two acres. If you cut down the trees, you can grow ghost rice. The banyan tree next to the stream a hundred feet to the west can grow ghost cotton. Hey, there's also an acre of shade nearby." A total of three plots of land were found nearby.
From now on, the three ghosts will be in charge.
I have the underground master's eye. Although I can't control the power of the earth, I can still go over and help regulate it.
"Ling, You, Teng! You three are in charge of this place."
"Yes!"
Maohou began to expand. One of the other two ghosts patrolled, and the other occasionally went out to find the ghosts of the Xiong family and Zhang family. It was easy to identify them because they had phoenix patterns on their clothes.
Tang Ping is very careful and does not accept anyone except his own ghost.
On the other side, the underwater palace is also constantly cultivating Taoist soldiers.
Time flies.
Before you know it, another year has passed.
Tang Ping has been looking for evil spirits.
During this period, I found a lot of evil spirits, but I never looked down on them.
On this day, Tang Ping woke up from practice.
The dark yin energy from the body slowly dissipated.
[Maotu Deed·Snake Mantra]: Mountain-opening and grass-cutting ceremony (705/1000).
Because there are few skills and enough supplies, you can gain two points a day.
"Go and have a look in the fields."
Next to the underwater palace, there is a small hall that belongs to Xiaoqing.
At this time, it was lying on the ground, eating fish, shrimp and crab with relish.
These were all refining failures, and they couldn’t be wasted, so we simply ate them as raw pickles. Tang Ping tasted them several times and the taste was okay.
"Quack."
Seeing Tang Ping wake up, Xiaoqing pushed the crab forward.
Get up and go under the banyan tree.
Walking out of the banyan tree area and walking through the dark woods, the brightness ahead is a little brighter.
There is a wooden house on the flat ground in front, with rice-like things planted there.
Two paper figures are attached to the railing and can be triggered at any time.
Tang Ping took one look and walked away.
Another banyan tree also grew a lot of ghost cotton.
There is an acre of shady soil not far away.
Seeing that nothing happened, Tang Ping came to rest under the banyan tree.
Lying in the shade of a tree, with the blood moon above your head, enjoying the breeze of the underworld.
Tang Ping let out a long sigh of relief.
Feel free!
At this time, wisps of black energy appeared in the void.
Suspended three feet above the head.
"Hmm? The art of worshiping ancestors in the underworld."
In the past year, the wizards in the mortal world have also successfully started practicing and learned the more basic method of ancestor worship. Through sacrifice, they can tell the people in the underworld about the things in the underworld.
Tang Ping stretched out his hand a little, and the information was transmitted into the sea of consciousness.
