Nine Pins Immortal Road

Chapter 665
There are nine counties under Xinhai County, and each county is a small island covering an area of ​​more than a hundred miles. Under each of these counties, there are several or a dozen townships, all of which are islands and reefs covering an area of ​​less than a hundred miles.

This time, the accident occurred on a township island reef in Yinlin County, one of the nine counties. The reason why this county island got its name is because a type of silver scale fish is abundant in the waters near the county island.

This kind of fish can be regarded as a kind of spiritual fish. Not only is it delicious, it can be used as spiritual food, and it has the effect of washing the body. Moreover, the silver scales of this fish are also a good material for refining weapons. can be used.

With such resources, this Yinlin County Island is naturally a treasure land that is highly regarded and competed for by various families.

The wealthy family in Yinlin County holds the county magistrate's position, it is 'Yunshui' Lu's family.

At the beginning, when the Liang family explored the East China Sea, whether it was building Xinhai County or participating in the battle to attack Bafang Island, they needed enough manpower.

However, the Liang family has risen too fast, and is the most deficient in terms of talents and manpower.

For this reason, Liang Zhaohuang asked the family's children to recruit people from his hometown Ludong County and surrounding counties. No matter casual cultivators, poor families, or even rich families in the county, as long as they are willing to be used by me, they can be recruited.

These recruited men made great contributions and suffered heavy casualties in the battle to build Xinhai County behind the Liang family and attack Bafang Island.

For this reason, after the war, when Yingzhou was established and Xinhai County and the counties under the county were established, the Liang family supported these loose cultivators, poor families, and county wealthy families who followed the family to gain a foothold in the counties under Xinhai County. develop.

This can not only reward the merits, but also help the Liang family control the counties under these counties.

Many connections and secret lines of the Liang family's secret guards were developed by relying on the rich and powerful families supported by the counties under these counties.

'Yunshui' Lu's family, originally in Ludong County, was one of the opponents of the Liang family, and had disputes over rights and interests.

However, after Liang Zhaohuang advanced to the Golden Core Realm and the Liang family was promoted to the prefect, this 'Yunshui' Lu family was no longer the opponent of the Liang family, and would no longer be against the Liang family.

On the contrary, when the Liang family was recruiting people in Ludong County and surrounding counties, the 'Yunshui' Lu family responded to the Liang family's move and organized people from the clan to follow the Liang family to the East China Sea to participate in the development of the East China Sea.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the several Jindan stage inheritances that the Liang family brought out at the beginning.

'Yunshui' Lu's family, 'Yaochen' Zhang's family, and several rich and powerful families in counties, the reason why they were willing to leave the mature and stable inland counties and counties to follow the Liang family to fight in the East China Sea.

It is because these rich and powerful families in the county still have the intention of going one step further and being promoted to the nobles of the prefecture.

After the East China Sea pioneering battle was over, Yingzhou was established, and Xinhai County and its counties were established, the 'Yunshui' Lu family did not return to Ludong County, but chose to establish a foothold in the East China Sea.

After all, the 'Yunshui' Lu family is also a veteran county rich family, with a lot of background and the support of the Liang family.

Therefore, easily occupying the treasure land of 'Yinlin County' and seizing the position of county magistrate, the development in the past 30 years has been quite good.

At least, according to Liang Zhaohuang's information, the 'Yunshui' Lu family has basically digested the inheritance of the golden elixir period of the water element obtained from the Liang family, and is preparing to raise a golden elixir monk with the strength of the family.

And once the 'Yunshui' Lu family cultivates golden core monks, the Lu family will also be able to be promoted to the prefect family in one fell swoop.

It's just that it's not easy for a wealthy family in the county to train Jindan monks.

Even if one has the inheritance of the Golden Core Stage, but does not have enough human luck and the fortune of the Immortal Dynasty, one can only rely on oneself, and it is even more difficult to advance to the Golden Core Stage.

But for the current 'Yunshui' Lu family, after all, there is hope, but it is much better than when it was in Ludong County.

Liang Zhaohuang set off from Jinyan Island on the ship 'Chilian', and arrived at Yinlin County Island within a few days of sailing.

Here, county magistrate Lu Jiyuan has been waiting for a long time.

This Lu Jiyuan is the nephew of Lu Shiming and others from the 'Yunshui' Lu family who fought with Liang Zhaohuang and the others. Now he is the head of the 'Yunshui' Lu family and the county magistrate of Yinlin County.

As for the old Lu Shiming and others who fought back then, most of them died in the East China Sea. Even if they didn't die, they were old and relegated to the second line.

Just like the 'Black Thorn' Lin family, after Lin Yuanfeng successfully advanced to the Jindan realm, Lin Changdao also directly retreated to the second line, pushing Lin Yuanfeng out, and Lin Yuanfeng even took over the position of Xinhai county master.

Those people who fought with Liang Zhaohuang for power and profit in Ludong County back then have gradually begun to end and are replaced by newcomers.

But this is normal. Liang Zhaohuang was only in his early 20s when he was in the foundation building stage. At that time, the patriarchs and officials in power in Ludong County were all the older generation of foundation building monks in each family, and they were basically in the middle stage of foundation building. , The cultivation base in the later period is basically over a hundred years old.

Up to now, after 70 years, Liang Zhaohuang has gradually approached a hundred years old, and the heads of various families and officials who fought with him for power and profit at the beginning are also gradually approaching two hundred years old.

The monks who established the foundation lived two hundred years, and the monks who built the golden core lived five hundred years.

Those veteran family owners and officials who fought with him for power and profit at the beginning failed to advance to the Golden Core Realm, and two hundred years old was already their limit.

Even, because of years of fighting and attrition, these people often do not live to the limit of two hundred years old.

Now even if he didn't fall halfway and die, he still had to retire for retirement.

Liang Zhaohuang looked at Lu Jiyuan who was coming towards him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart for a moment.

Time flies, and the old man is gradually unable to catch up with his footsteps.

"Your Majesty, the magistrate of Yinlin County, pay my respects to the Governor!"

Lu Jiyuan didn't know that Liang Zhaohuang was sighing here, and when he saw Liang Zhaohuang, he immediately came forward to greet him.

Liang Zhaohuang looked at the other party, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said: "You don't need to be too polite, your two families are old friends, and you are also the successor of the old friend."

Liang Zhaohuang said it politely, but Lu Jiyuan didn't dare to respond directly, he just said: "Don't dare."

As for the grievances and grievances between the Lu family and the Liang family, Lu Jiyuan is also a person who has personally experienced it, so he is naturally very clear.

At the beginning, the Lu family chose to follow the Liang family to fight in the East China Sea. Although they had plans to go further for the family, they did not mean to apologize to the Liang family.

Even in the subsequent battles, the 'Yunshui' Lu family suffered heavy casualties, and they were actively making amends to the Liang family.

Up to now, the Liang family has supported the 'Yunshui' Lu family to gain a foothold in this Yinlin County, and won the county magistrate's position.

However, Lu Jiyuan was still cautious and did not dare to overstep the rules.

Seeing this, Liang Zhaohuang shook his head slightly, and said no more, "Magistrate Lu, please arrange to lead us to see the blood pond."

"Yes, I would like to ask the governor to sail the boat and follow me to wait for the boat."

As Lu Jiyuan said, he arranged for a boat to lead the way, leading the ship 'Chilian' to leave Yinlin County Island and head west.

At the Zhoumu Mansion, Xie Zhoumu arranged for the counties to inspect hidden dangers such as the Commoner League and Moxiu, and checked and prepared the "Fish Scale Atlas". Arrange for postal supervision, check of the master book, sort out the "fish scale albums" of the counties in the county and below the county; Townships and villages under the county.

These decrees and government affairs are originally handed down and carried out layer by layer.

Therefore, it was the county lieutenant and inspector of Yinlin County who discovered the problem with the Hanmen islands and reefs in the county this time. They followed the order of the county magistrate to inspect the islands and reefs of Hanmen towns and villages in the county, and found an island. The impoverished family in Jiao Township was wiped out, leaving a pool of blood on the scene.

When they discovered this situation, they immediately reported it to the county, and the county immediately reported it to the county.

After Liang Zhaohuang got the news, he knew that the Blood Sea Demon Lord was involved, which was the focus of the state pastoral government.

Not daring to delay at the moment, he first sent an order to the county lieutenant and inspection team who were out on patrol, and he himself came from Xinhai County on a sea boat.

Under the guidance of Lu's boat, the ship 'Chilian' traveled westward for more than 600 miles and arrived at an island.

Here, the inspecting ships of the county lieutenant and inspector had already arrived first and blocked the place.

But at this time, Liang Zhaohuang's eyes were looking at the sky. Above the sky of this island reef, there was a flying boat. Lanzhi Yu' Xie's mark!

He didn't know that there was a team from Xie's family who came one step ahead.

When Liang Zhaohuang's "Chilian" ship arrived, Li Xunjian immediately led people out to greet him.

"Your Majesty!"

Inspector Li Liancheng was the first to greet him.

Liang Zhaohuang bowed back, then pointed to the flying boat in mid-air, and said, "Has someone from the Xie family come?"

Li Liancheng looked around, nodded slightly, and said, "It's the news from the county lieutenant."

"However, shortly after the news came out from Lord Lieutenant, Xie's flying boat rushed over. They seemed to be following the trail of these blood demon cultivators."

Liang Zhaohuang nodded slightly, and followed inspector Li to the island.

This is an island reef with a radius of [-] miles. Liang Zhaohuang has already learned about it from Lu Jiyuan. The town on this island reef is called Dingxie Township, because the humble Ding family who opened up a township on this island reef is good at breeding spirit crabs. , so it is named Dingxie Township.

And this impoverished family is located in the bay on the north side of the reef, close to the bay, and the family breeds spirit crabs in the bay.

When Liang Zhaohuang arrived at Ding's house with inspector Li, he didn't see anyone from Ding's family, but the most conspicuous thing he saw was a pool of blood in Ding's house, where the blood was rippling, and bones and skeletons were floating. in.

He already knew from the news and reports he had received that all members of this poor family had died.

The bones and skeletons floating in the blood pool are members of the Ding family, and their flesh and blood have melted into the blood pool, but the remaining bones and skeletons have sunk into it.
