chewing dragon

Chapter 69

Qi Jingzhi's heart trembled, and he realized that what Liu Muzhi said next should be the key.

Whether it is the testament of the Holy King or the Great Qi Ancestral System, it may have some effect, but it is by no means the real reason why those high-ranking sects are willing to transfer some opportunities and powers to the mud legs. It can be seen from the way of practice.

I heard Liu Muzhi continue to say: "The place where we are standing is the former land of Dongyi, which was once occupied by the evil gods of the wild and the savages of Dongyi! The whole Daqi is there, and it is even far beyond. Outside of Daqi, beyond those poor mountains and rivers, the smog Miasma Jedi, there are still many Zhuxia tribes and holy descendant kingdoms working hard to open up!"

"Our Great Qi has established the country for more than two thousand years. Nine generations of ancestors have made great efforts to open up mountains and forests, and wiped out many enemies who entrenched here one by one. Up to now, they have only managed to gain a firm foothold."

Hearing this, even though Qi Jingzhi had a calm temperament, he couldn't help being moved.

Although there are only a few words mentioned by the other party, it is very different from what he learned when he was young.

Qi Jingzhi had never heard of the so-called hometown of Dongyi, wild gods, other tribes, and feudal kingdoms. On the contrary, there were some specious traces in the childhood stories that Grandpa told.

Liu Muzhi saw the surprise of the young man, and said with a smile: "I don't know why the imperial court and the Gao surname do not allow these ancient histories and surrounding geography to be circulated among the people, and even ordinary officials with lower backgrounds and ranks are not allowed to consult relevant classics. But you You are a cultivator, and you are also a national surname, so it is not a taboo for me to reveal some fur to you."

Seeing the still puzzled young man nodding his head blankly, the young Gongcao chuckled lightly and continued, "If you know this premise, you will know that looking at the world, Daqi is only a corner, and the Zhuxia people are not without enemies."

"Not to mention the remnants of all kinds of evil gods and the remnants of Dongyi, even the land under our feet is still wild and untamed, otherwise there would not be so many demons and ghosts, and those river dragons would not be so domineering. !"

"Huh? So the roots are here?" Qi Jingzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately remembered Jiao Yulang's criticism of the three gods of Daqi.

"Xiaowazi said that the title of water god is the most expensive, because many water gods are cultivated by themselves, and they are naturally powerful. They don't care much about the title conferred by the lord. According to Liu Muzhi, the root is the land where Daqi is. The land, mountains and rivers are wild and untamed, and it is very easy to breed spirit monsters. Among them, the water tribe, especially the dragon species, benefited a lot."

"One of the two people's statements is appearance, and the other is internal cause, but they are closely linked and can be confirmed by each other. From this point of view, the king of the country supported the city god's encroachment on the territory of the mountain god, and it was actually out of the consideration of suppressing the mountain spirit to become enlightened and taming the wildness of the mountain. ? When the mountain gods are completely resolved, I'm afraid it will be the turn of the arrogant and noble gods of the water palace..."

"This is indeed a way to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot. In the long run, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It just suffers from those innocent people who are not protected by the mountain gods and are wantonly killed by demons! If it is not a coincidence, grandpa and I may be among those poor people!"

"There is also the Chaozhou Jiao family who was born as a child. Obviously, he knew well the situation that the Mountain God family was suppressed and gradually declined, but he still made good friends with Jiangjun Shuifu without hesitation, and he was not afraid that the situation would change. Liquidated? Are you reluctant to part with this prominent and cheap relative, or do you have other plans and reliance?"

Qi Jingzhi has had this problem since he was a child. He always likes to think deeply when he sees people and things happen.

Liu Muzhi felt a little strange when he saw it: "What is Brother Qi thinking?"

Qi Jingzhi suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "It's just that it's incredible. I've seen many ghosts, all of which are dead spirits becoming evil or wild beasts becoming spirits. The most bizarre thing is that dead things give birth to supernatural beings. I never thought about it." There is something wild about the ground beneath your feet."

Liu Muzhi was stunned, and smiled knowingly: "It's really unbelievable. Anyway, since I heard about it when I was young, I never dared to pee anywhere again."

Seeing the uncontrollable astonishment on the young man's face, Liu Muzhi burst out laughing: "Brother Qi, don't worry too much. Daqi and even the entire land and mountains in Dongyi's homeland are wild and untamed. I'm afraid this sentence has been spread for a long time." It's 2000!"

"Brother Yu heard what the elders in the family said, and the elders also listened to what the ancestors said. They are all just parrots. Who can tell whether it is true or not?"

Qi Jingzhi nodded, this is the foundation of the aristocratic family, what the children have seen and heard since childhood has far exceeded that of the poor family.

After all, Liu Muzhi was a young man, perhaps because he had always put on airs in the captain's office on weekdays and was too repressed, so he was clearly interested in talking at this time.

He eloquently said: "As long as you open your eyes, you will find that no matter whether they are high-ranking families or poor people, everyone is the descendant of Zhuxia whose blood is thicker than water. Internal and external troubles have not been eliminated. Brothers fight against the wall. Under the cover of the nest, there are no eggs!"

"In the eyes of the imperial court, a seed of cultivation like me is willing to go to counties and counties to seek the well-being of the people. No matter what our original intentions are, we will only be happy to see the results, and will never be suspicious. If the weather is smooth, the demons will disappear, and talents will emerge in large numbers , It is the luck of Daqi and the blessing of the common people."

"In case I delay my practice because I worry about civil affairs, I don't need to worry about my family. The court will remind and compensate me. Not to mention the benefits in life, a god after death cannot escape."

"It's just that the status of ghosts and gods, which is mostly obtained by imperial edict, is very weak. Not only will the road in the future be extremely difficult, but it is almost impossible to change the path. Even the chance of reincarnation has to be cut off, and the cultivation seeds of various families will never choose this path easily."

Qi Jingzhi became more and more speechless. Yu Laochenghuang worked hard all his life, and was able to become a god after death as a third-rank official. But that's all.

The young man sighed secretly, quickly cleared up his mood, nodded and said: "I understand, the blood has its own strength, Zhuxia still has internal troubles and foreign enemies, even the low-level people whose lives are as cheap as grass, are not lambs without the slightest power to resist , but the cornerstone on which Da Qi relied to control the land and gradually tame its wildness."

Liu Muzhi choked immediately, then nodded helplessly, and said bitterly: "Brother Yu has said so much, but Brother Qi is concise and to the point."

With a smile on the corner of Qi Jingzhi's mouth, he clasped his fists in thanks and said, "If Brother Liu didn't explain the confusion, how could Qi Jingzhi know the size of the world! Brother, I am so grateful for your kindness!"

Perhaps it was the first time for the young Gong Cao to experience the joy of being a teacher, and he couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and said happily: "Even though the foolish brother and the virtuous brother have only met twice, they have a tight bond, and we can get closer in the future!"

Qi Jingzhi knew that he was already a good fertilizer that the other party had registered in his heart, and immediately smiled: "It's natural! I have little knowledge, and I still have a lot of puzzles. I need to ask my brother for advice!"

The two were calling each other brothers, when suddenly two people entered the compound of the government office, both of them were strong men dressed in tight clothes and with serious expressions, and they came straight to the East Duty Room.

When Liu Muzhi saw it, he immediately suppressed his smile and asked seriously, "How is it?"

When a strong man came up to him and stopped, he didn't answer when he heard the words, but gave Qi Jing a look.

The young meritorious Cao waved his hand immediately: "It's okay, the Li family's case was handled by the head of Qi Dutou."

Hearing this, the strong man nodded his head to Qi Jingzhi, and then he cupped his hands and replied: "I have checked, all Li Huang's limbs have turned into pus, only one head remains, and the inside of the skull is empty. The snake smells very strong, it was indeed killed by a demon!"

The man who was half a step behind also followed up and reported: "This subordinate walked to Li's Kongyuan in the western suburbs, but did not find the so-called Yuan Mansion along the way, and the township officials also said that there is no such family in the area."

"As for the garden, my subordinates have also looked at it. There is a silver cellar in the cave in the garden, which contains 22 boxes of gold and silver. In addition, I found a strange corpse that was mostly destroyed, two torches that had just been burnt out, and a fight. There are many traces."

"There is no strange smell in the garden that the Li family claimed when they reported the crime, nor did they smell the smell of snakes."

After reporting the case, the man hesitated for a while, and added: "Considering that the silver cellar may be involved with demons, my subordinates have sealed it up according to the law. During this period, Ma Dian Shideli of the county was reporting the news, and he led several yamen servants to the , Seeing the seal in the silver cellar, there seems to be an unswerving color on his face..."
