"Because the Xiong family is the most powerful family in Mengyu County, they are only one step away from becoming the new famous family in Yu County!"
Yang Tiangang said quietly: "As long as the Xiong family can become a famous family in Yu County, it will be one of the first-class forces in the entire Yu County below the Shaotian Sect! The life and death of Mengyu County has nothing to do with them!"
The tyrannical Xiong family was like a huge mountain, which made the four martial arts monks in the hall breathless. After another moment of silence, Zhang Tiejiang said: "What about the other two powerful people in this county, the Ning family and the Yu family?
What do people say?”
Yang Tiangang didn't need to answer this time, Xu Sanniang on the side guessed: "I'm afraid the Ning family and the Yu family won't embarrass the Xiong family at this time!"
Zhang Tiejiang was puzzled: "Why, aren't we afraid that the Xiong family will turn over them after becoming a famous family in Yu County? Besides, the county's Linggu production has been reduced, and what the Xiong family has done, aren't the Ning and Yu families not the same?"
loss?"
Xu Sanniang smiled bitterly and said: "It is precisely because the Xiong family is at the critical moment of being promoted to a famous family. If anyone wants to embarrass them at this time, the Xiong family will definitely risk their lives, so the other two families have resorted to rat-proof weapons. Besides, the Ning family and the other two families all have real-life monks.
We are a powerful county, and the losses caused by the giant locust plague are at best a 30% or 40% reduction in production. The Xiong family only reduced the grain tax by one-third, probably to take care of the emotions of these two families!"
Yang Junshan listened to the words of several warrior realm monks in the hall. What was different from what they thought was, why did the Shaking Sky Sect agree so easily to the Xiong family's approach?
Naturally, the Shaking Sky Sect would not fail to see the principle of taking advantage of the situation, but the Shaking Sky Sect still acquiesced in allowing the Xiong family to do this. At most, it only allowed the Xiong family to charge forward and take the blame for the Shaking Sky Sect. It can be seen that the fundamental reason is not greed for dreams.
This little spiritual valley in Yu County is because the Shaotian Sect really has an extremely urgent need for this little spiritual valley!
From the red rust rough stone incident to the current grain tax incident, Yang Junshan seemed to see a huge monster standing on the edge of the cliff trying to grab every straw to save his life. He would not even estimate whether the slender straw could survive.
bear its huge weight.
With Yang Tiangang's intervention, Tuqiu Village's grain tax collection was completed quickly, which was expected by everyone. However, this was not the case in other villages. The production had already been reduced by two-thirds due to the giant locust plague.
After the Shantian Sect's grain tax was promulgated, it can be said that the entire villages in Mengyu County were filled with complaints.
However, the Shaotian Sect had great prestige in the entire Yu County. Although Zhongling Farmers was reluctant, they did not have the courage to challenge the authority of the Shaotian Sect. In the end, they gritted their teeth and paid the full grain tax, not to mention collecting the grain tax.
During the process, upper-level monks from the Shaking Sky Sect kept coming down to urge the investigation. Especially the Xiong family, because this matter was related to the fate of the family, so they patrolled the villages and towns in Mengyu County under the banner of the Shaking Sky Sect. Anyone who resisted
Emotional spiritual farmers are often reprimanded, abused, threatened, and even beaten severely by these people!
In Huangtu Town, Tuyuan Village was the one who paid the full grain tax immediately after Tuqiu Village. The former mayor of Tuyuan Village was Qian Chunlai. After this man went to the town to serve, Tuyuan Village
The village leader fell on his clan brother Qian Yinglai.
Although Qian Chunlai had squeezed out his biggest competitor Yang Tianggang this time, he wanted to get recommendations from Liu Zhenshou from the outer disciples of the Shaking Sky Sect. This collection of grain taxes was undoubtedly his best opportunity to perform.
It is said that Qian Chunlai caused a lot of anger in Tuyuan Village. There are rumors that an old spiritual farmer in Tuyuan Village was forced to death by Qian Chunlai's brothers because he was unwilling to pay the grain tax. Even within the Qian family, there was a dispute over money.
There was a lot of criticism for Chun Lai's actions.
However, when it comes to whether he can become an outer disciple of Shaking Heaven Sect, Qian Chunlai obviously does not care about the negative impact of this food requisition on him. Under the suppression of the Qian brothers, the voices of criticism within the Qian family were finally suppressed.
On the second day after Tuqiu Village completed the grain tax collection, Tuyuan Village's grain tax was paid in full.
At this time, Qian Chunlai finally became a popular candidate for the outer disciples of the Shaotian Sect in Huangtu Town. It is said that he also received the support of a direct descendant of the Xiong family, and the Xiong family disciple was also an outer disciple of the Shaotian Sect.
.
The world of cultivation is generally in a state of shortage of cultivation resources, but cultivation itself is a process of failure to advance or retreat. Therefore, whether it is spiritual grain, spiritual wheat, or spiritual rice, which can produce large-scale and high-yield products with a short cycle,
Crops have become the most commonly used items used by most low-level monks to assist their cultivation and improve their cultivation.
After spiritual cultivators reach a certain level, they plant spiritual grains not for food and clothing, but to at least maintain their own cultivation from declining when cultivation resources are limited. Therefore, almost all spiritual cultivators will do this.
I am so persistent in having my own piece of spiritual land.
Take a stone of spiritual valley as an example, it is only worth a few jade coins. However, using a few jade coins to practice will exhaust the spiritual power contained in it in just a few days at most. In these few days, the monk's cultivation level will even
It may be improved because of this, but what happens after using jade coins? Because the monk cannot replenish enough spiritual power for a long time, the monk's cultivation level will begin to decline, and it may even decline all the way to the point where it is worse than the original cultivation level.
But if these jade coins are exchanged for a stone of spiritual grain, perhaps the monk's cultivation level will not be significantly improved by eating the spiritual grain, but at least within two or three months before the spiritual grain is consumed, the monk will
You can always maintain your own cultivation level without deterioration!
This is why ordinary monks often value Linggu more than jade coins!
As for the old spiritual farmer in Tuyuan Village who was forced to die, after passing the peak period of his prime, not only had he lost the possibility of further improvement in his cultivation, but also because his physical body began to decline, he wanted to
If you want to keep your cultivation level from declining, you may need to replenish more spiritual grains than an adult.
And brother Qian Chunlai forcibly took away the remaining spiritual grain in his hand, which would only speed up the aging of his body, make his cultivation decline faster, and the time before death would naturally be greatly shortened, so he finally found his way out.
Short-sighted.
A few days after the grain tax payment was completed, Yang Tiangang's mood still did not improve. He had a gloomy face all day long, which scared the two brothers Yang Junping and Yang Junxin to avoid seeing their father.
Yang Junshan found Han Xiumei and asked, "Mom, dad is still worried about the outer disciples of Shaotian Sect?"
In Yang Junshan's view, it was a good thing that Yang Tiangang did not become an outer disciple of the Shaking Sky Sect. Although the Shaking Sky Sect was powerful, it was nothing more than a giant ship that was about to sink in the sea.
Shaking the Sky Sect has cleared their relationship, and maybe they will be able to avoid disaster in the future.
Han Xiumei sighed and said: "Some words are just for outsiders to listen to. Your father's original merit does not need to be considered by collecting food taxes. What really prevents your father from becoming an inner disciple."
The reason is because of your uncle!"
"Your uncle was accepted as an inner disciple of Shaking Sky Sect because of his contribution to reporting the red rust rough stone. Since the Yang family has an inner disciple this time, whether it is Shaking Sky Sect itself or trying to become a disciple of Shaking Sky Sect,
All the big and small forces in Yu County do not want the Yang family to occupy another outer disciple spot, and I am afraid there are also voices of opposition within the Yang family!"
When Yang Junshan saw his father, Yang Tianggang was half-lying on a wicker chair, smoking and reading. Yang Junshan walked over and took a look, and found that what Yang Tiangang was reading was an atlas about low-level spiritual herbs.
Not only did he draw extremely realistic patterns, but he also wrote relatively detailed instructions next to them.
Yang Junshan thought for a while and said, "Dad, we haven't decided what to plant in our middle-grade spiritual field yet?"
Yang Tianggang said "Hmm" and said: "We have obtained the seeds of golden safflower, which is enough to plant a spiritual field; your uncle also agreed to help get a batch of red flame grass seeds, which can almost plant a spiritual field; now
I don’t know what to plant in the last bit of spiritual field left. It just so happens that you brought back the low-grade fairy elm heart from Baique Mountain, and the three low-grade fairy spirits you got this time when you went out to hunt the giant locust king.
I have a sum of jade coins, and I am thinking about using the jade coins to purchase a batch of spiritual grass seeds, but I haven’t decided what seeds to purchase yet.”
Yang Junshan flipped through the atlas of spiritual grass on the table, found a map, and said, "How about planting this?"
Yang Tianggang glanced down and said doubtfully: "Strange-flavored fruit? This kind of seed is not difficult to find, but what's the use of growing it? Although this thing can be regarded as a low-grade spiritual grass, the fruit it harvests is
Very few people use it, only some unsophisticated elixirs are used when refining them, and they can’t be sold for much money even if they are grown!”
Yang Junshan said with a "hehe" smile: "Maybe it will suddenly be useful in the future!"
Seeing Yang Tiangang's suspicious eyes, Yang Junshan lied casually and said: "I saw the monks of Tianlangmen collecting this kind of spiritual grass in Quwu Mountain before. It seemed that they were refining some new elixir.
We need a large amount of kiwi fruits, and I heard that Tianlang Sect has purchased them at a high price in Zhang County!"
Yang Tianggang waved his hand and said: "That won't work either. It's the Tianlang Sect that's buying this thing, and it's not the Shaking Sky Sect that wants it. Who should I grow it and sell it to?"
"Isn't there a secret passage in Quwu Mountain? Dad, you can go to Zhang County. It's not too far anyway. It's not easy to get in and out of Zhang County with your martial arts level!"
Yang Tianggang waved his hand impatiently and said, "We'll talk about it later, there's no rush now anyway!"
Yang Junshan seemed to have thought of something at this time and said: "By the way, dad, talking about the Quwu Mountain boy, I remembered something else. Do you remember the valley where I told you about the locust swarm?
?There seems to be a source of evil energy in the valley!"
"What?" Yang Tiangang suddenly jumped up from the wicker chair. The wicker chair couldn't bear his strength and fell apart. However, Yang Tiangang didn't even look at it. He stared at Yang Junshan and said, "What are you talking about?
Source? You know nothing about the source of evil spirits!"
Yang Junshan smiled "hehe" and described the scene where the locusts were fighting for food when the source of the evil energy appeared in the valley. At the same time, he also guessed that the source of the evil energy seemed to be intermittent. He didn't know that the Tianlang Sect was originally monitoring the evil energy.
Have the locust swarms in the valley discovered the source of the evil spirit?
Yang Tiangang was already beaming with joy. He could not sit still. As he walked, he said: "I am going to Quwu Mountain. If it is like what you said, I will be richly rewarded when I come back!"
Yang Junshan hurriedly followed and said: "Dad, there is actually something I haven't told you!"
Seven days after Yang Tiangang rushed to Quwu Mountain, the sky in the entire Huangtu Town became gloomy, and then heavy rain poured down. This time, it was another five or six days, and several small streams in the Western Mountains had turned into
The mountain torrent sloped through the channel, and the Qinshui River surged all the way, almost reaching the edge of the embankment.
Yang Junshan looked at the rain outside the house worriedly. If this continues, this huge locust plague will be followed by another flood!
