Lord of the Earth

Chapter 205 He Shen’s accompanying wonder!
"This……"

When Lai Buyi heard this, his expression was somewhat moved.

For a Feng Shui master, being able to arrange Feng Shui for a powerful human territory is undoubtedly very attractive.

Especially as a golden man with the characteristic of "divine calculation", he can clearly feel the huge potential of this human territory by using what he has learned and what he has seen with his own eyes in the territory these days.

In the future, he may be able to become one of the leading forces in the entire human race!

The reason why he did not "become an official" at the beginning was because he was framed by Qin Hui and was quite repulsive to officialdom rules.

Secondly, there is already Huang Yaoshi, a master-level Feng Shui master in the Xia Tian Territory. If he joins again, there will inevitably be some conflicts. However, he did not expect that Huang Yaoshi would be so generous. He took the initiative to admit that he was inferior and asked himself to modify his arrangement. The "Feng Shui Formation"!
"This Feng Shui formation in your domain has been perfectly arranged by Island Master Huang. Once the 'Nine Dragons Gather', it will become a top-notch Feng Shui formation... Even I can't be better at this aspect at the moment."

After a slight pause, Lai Buyi also spoke in a modest tone.

"However, Island Master Huang's formation mainly focuses on stimulating the 'earth destiny' of the territory!"

"If you trust me, sir, I can start from the aspect of 'people's luck' and specially modify Feng Shui for some people, so that they can 'unify the earth and people', and practice more smoothly..."

Lai Buyi said.

"The luck of the earth, the luck of people..."

Xia Tian feels that this seems a bit familiar.

"In general, Feng Shui can be subdivided into three categories: heaven, earth, and people. Each of the three has its own emphasis, but there is no distinction between them!"

"If any aspect is perfected, it is considered a top-level formation. If two aspects can be completed, it can be called a 'Super Feng Shui Formation'. If all three can be completed, it will be a 'Peerless Feng Shui Formation'. This is beyond human power." Completed, it has the power to change the world..."

Reib explained.

"I see."

Xia Tian nodded.

This time, the Feng Shui layout in the secret realm of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum was even able to bring together the emperor's "obsession" with the elixir of immortality to create a real "elixir of immortality", and even make it conscious and even transform. , it can definitely be called a "peerless" level!

However, a Feng Shui array of this level has too many innate requirements, and even Lai Buyi cannot arrange it.

But according to his wishes, the territorial feng shui formation should be able to change from "top" to "super" level!
"Everything in the world has its own 'luck', which after dispersing, influences and blends with each other to form 'feng shui'. For Feng Shui masters, every person and thing is part of the Feng Shui bureau. Even mountains, rivers, The country, the people, and the common people can all become a part of the Feng Shui formation..."

"The old man's ability is limited, and not everyone can be nourished by Feng Shui. However, the modified formation can help specific people improve their 'cultivation, combat effectiveness,' and other aspects within the territory..."

"In addition, the old man and Huang Island Master yesterday went to see the 'Longzi Baxia Stone Statue' that suppresses the feng shui of the territory and condenses the dragon's veins, and found that it is connected with the other eight sculptures...perhaps, we can try to deduce it. Location!"

Then Lai Buyi's words made Xia Tian's face even more happy.

You must know that this "Nine Sons of the Dragon Stone Statue" is different from ordinary strange objects. It can improve its quality by transforming spiritual power and tempering itself. In theory, its upper limit will not be worse than the "Twelve Golden Figures" of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. .

Once the "nine sons are united into one", they will be able to give birth to the legendary "Feng Shui Dragon Vein" that can become an emperor!
If you can really gather all your territories, it will be enough to lay a solid foundation for the establishment of the "Qi Luck Dynasty" in the future!

"How sure is Mr. Lai of deducing its location?"

"Mysterious things are hidden! Originally, I was only three-point sure about the location of the other eight stone statues, but with this 'Tianji Tortoise Shell', my confidence can be increased by two points! If there can be another 'Longzi Stone Statue' ', relying on the two Longzi stone statues to deduce together, we are at least [-]% sure that we can find the rest..."

Lai Buyi said with confidence on his face.

"Okay! Please also ask Mr. Lai to stay in the territory for a few more days. The second 'Ryuko Statue' will arrive soon..."

Xia Tian's face showed joy.

"In the Langhuan Jade Mansion, there are many unique and ancient books obtained from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin. Among them are many classics of Yin and Yang and Taoist schools, as well as the lost books "Lianshan" and "Gui Zang". Mr. Lai can go and get it..."

Later, what he said made Lai Buyi look happy.

Although Feng Shui emerged after the Qin and Han dynasties, its source actually comes from hundreds of schools of thought, and the "Lianshan Yi" and "Gui Zang Yi" are extremely ancient and of astonishing value, which will definitely help to further his skills. , Breaking through the "grandmaster" level!
"If you are interested, sir, you can keep your skills in the 'Langhuan Jade Slips' and select some talents with relevant qualifications in the territory to pass them on and become your students and disciples."

Xia Tian added another sentence.

Due to the massive increase in population, many people have not yet found a way to obtain "merit points". Zhuge Liang suggested that only those with expert-level skills or above should do so.

Everyone can choose to make their own insights and experiences into "Inheritance Jade Slips" to gain "merits", making the collection of books in Langhuan Jade Mansion richer these days!
Xia Tian has a feeling that the inheritance and restoration of Chinese civilization that he has set out to achieve may not take long to be realized.

……

"Lord Lord!"

After discussing with Lai Buyi about the "Feng Shui Formation" and "Longzi Statue".

Xia Tian shook the jade bracelet with a happy face, put away and released a piece of pink "peach blossom cake" in Xiaoyaochi, and prepared to return to the lord's mansion!

At this time, a voice sounded.

"Can you please come and sit in He's room?"

The speaker was wearing a slightly old but meticulously washed violet satin top and a yellow mantle. His face was originally round and had small eyes, but now he has lost a lot of hair and his hair has been changed from the original braid to a Han style. Hairband and crown!

"Well, is it Mr. He?"

I almost forgot that among the golden platforms now there is not only Lai Buyi, but also He Shen, an outstanding figure who is also rated golden.

Under normal circumstances, golden heroes are of extraordinary value to a territory. After recruiting them, it is most cost-effective to let them "serve as officials" in the territory and give full play to their talents.

But how to arrange He Shen?

Xia Tian is indeed somewhat hesitant.

So much so that since he came back from the Taotie Island, he has been allowed to live in this "Golden Terrace", and he has treated him with courtesy, and even provided him with food, clothing, housing, and spiritual equipment according to his cultivation level like other outstanding people!
But there were no further arrangements for it.

"Since I invited you, sir, let's go in to Yaochi..."

After thinking about it, Xia Tian did not refuse.

Compared with the courtyard where Lai Buyi lived, Heshen's courtyard seemed much empty. Apart from a few books, there were some equipment used for martial arts training and muscle-strengthening.

On the golden wood table in the living room, there was even just a pot of water and a portion of jujube paste cake, which was somewhat incompatible with He Shen, who once had a fortune of hundreds of millions.

"Mr. He is a man of both civil and military skills. I wonder if you are still used to the taste of the food in the territory these days?"

Xia Tian said to it.

"Your Excellency, you are so kind to me that you let He live in the 'golden terrace' where King Yan Zhao bought his horse bones for thousands of gold, and even let Master Ding prepare 'meal' for me to suppress the 'gluttonous precious meat' in my body. He is extremely grateful!"

"It's a pity that I am short of money now, and I really can't find anything to repay you, so I remembered that I got a treasure when I came to this eternal place. I invite you now to dedicate a treasure to you... "

He Shen looked grateful.

Then, as if worried about Xia Tian's rejection, he quickly took out a golden box from the house, and after opening the lid, a pile of "silver ingots" the size of his fist was revealed!
Good guy, does Heshen want to bribe himself, the lord, with money in his own territory?
But even gold doesn’t mean much in the Land of Eternity, let alone silver!

Although He Shen is greedy for money, he has no problem with his head.

Perhaps even most people are smart and cannot simply take out a pile of silver ingots.

In fact, when Xia Tian picked up a "silver ingot", his eyes moved.

Just because he felt something pouring towards the "silver ingot" in his hand, causing it to gradually turn from silver to black.

But his consciousness has become clear, and his whole person seems to have got rid of some kind of shackles. If he practices in this state, his efficiency will definitely increase significantly, and it will not be worse than the additional blessing he obtained by relying on the "Practice Genius" characteristic!
[Silver (gold)] [Type] Strange object

[Characteristics] Negotiating Sins (holding silver, you can temporarily attach your own 'karma' and 'distracted thoughts' in your mind to the 'Silver of Negotiating Sins', thereby making your body and mind clear and your practice speed greatly increased) Turn it over (withstand it) A large amount of silver from sinful karma will be turned into black 'sinful silver' and returned to the 'treasury'. It can be purified and differentiated into new 'silver ingots' by consuming luck)
[Explanation] Heshen's "accompanied wonders" can grow along with themselves.

[Remarks] Hemou does not want your money, but uses your money to do your things!
"It seems that the attributes of these 'controversial' historical heroes are indeed somewhat different from those of ordinary heroes!"

Xia Tian thought curiously.

Just like Li Ru's "Wine Glass", the strange objects accompanying these controversial historical figures seem to have some "weird" attributes!
Xia Tian knew something about the "criminal silver".

An important reason why He Shen is regarded as a "capable minister" by many people is that although he is extremely greedy for money and absorbs the country's wealth like a moth, he is still able to manage the court's money bag so that the court is never short of money!

The most important and famous one is the "criminal silver system" invented by him, which stipulates that after officials commit crimes, they can send fines to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that they can be given lighter sentences based on the facts of the crime, and the money will be used by the emperor. expenditure.

Relying on this "criminal silver", a certain "Shiquan old man" went on six tours, built more than 30 palaces along the way, and even held a longevity ceremony, without even using a tael of silver from the treasury. There is still money left over from the "criminal silver" expenses.

It’s no wonder that even though he knew there was something wrong with Heshen, he was reluctant to kill him, but left it to his son as a “gift package for newbies”!
Of course, this "criminal silver" itself can be said to be extremely heinous.

After all, when officials know that they can reduce their guilt through fines, or even avoid punishment, they will obviously intensify their efforts and unscrupulously steal the people's wealth and wealth, which is enough to destroy the foundation of a country.

However, this "Crime Silver" has now become a rare item in the Eternal Land, and its attributes make Xia Tian even a little excited!
With this "criminal silver" and the "Feng Shui Formation" specially built for himself by Lai Buyi, his cultivation speed in the future will definitely not be worse than in the underground palace of the First Emperor.

"It seems that I have a lot of 'karma'. But I don't know how many silver ingots are needed to bear Mr. He's own 'distractions' and 'karma'?"

However, Xia Tian did not take away the silver ingot.

Instead, he put the silver ingot that was almost half blackened in his hand back on the table.

Looking at He Shen, his face was calm and unmoving!

"Sure enough, the Lord knows about He's past..."

After He Shen heard Xia Tian's words, his eyes couldn't help but change.

"As a person, He is indeed not aboveboard, but there is a reason for that."

Immediately, a somewhat wry smile appeared on his round face that had become much thinner.

"He was born into a poor family. His mother died of childbirth when he was three years old, and his father also died of illness when he was nine. Fortunately, an old servant and a housekeeper in the family protected He Shen and his younger brother from being kicked out of the house. In order to revitalize his family business, He Shen studied hard every day. He not only read the Four Books and Five Classics, became familiar with the art of war, riding and archery, but also became proficient in four languages: Manchu, Han, Mongolian and Tibetan. He hoped to stand out one day..."

"Later on, when I finally gained power and rose to the top, I thought I would get back all the hardships I had suffered...but I didn't expect that it would be out of control as soon as I started!"

He Shen's face was filled with sadness and a look of reminiscence.

"Yes! He Shen and I are a corrupt official. I am sorry for the teachings of the saints, and I am sorry for the people of Liming... But the money I am greedy for is at least not directly plundered from the people, but squeezed from those officials. Besides, He Shen Most of a person's own assets do not come from the filial piety of officials, but from opening his own shops, banks, mines, and pawnshops... To say that it is all 'sin money', He does not agree with it!"

Then, He Shen defended himself.

"But you exploit officials, and officials exploit the people, suppressing them at all levels. How is it different from exploiting yourself? Doesn't the capital you and Shen do business with still come from the bloody 'people's fat'?"

Xia Tian was unmoved, his expression remained calm.

"Adults should know that even if you don't take some money, others will still take it!"

"At least when I was on duty, there was no shortage of money in the national treasury. When disasters occurred, I did my best to treat and comfort the people... Because of his background, He Mou thinks he still has some compassion!"

He Shen said with a wry smile.

"That's why. Otherwise, I will not allow you to live in my territory!"

Xia Tian looked at He Shen, who had a bitter expression and didn't know whether it was true or not, and nodded.

"This 'Silver of Confession' is a rare item that comes with you. Are you sure you want to give it to me? You must think clearly that once this item is in my hands, I will never return it to you!"

Then he reached out and picked up the "criminal silver" again, and looked at the most corrupt official in history with some seriousness.

Most people would definitely not choose to put their accompanying rare items in the hands of others.

But who is He Shen?
As a famous traitor in history, He Shen's ability to rise from a poor background to a high position below one person was certainly not a fluke. He dared to seize opportunities and make big bets, which was why he climbed to the top step by step.

When he first entered the Xia Tian Territory, he realized that this human race territory had amazing potential.

The massive increase in population in just ten days has confirmed his judgment, but now the territory is indeed booming, and more and more talents are settling on the golden stage...

However, he has not reused it for a long time, which made him keenly feel the crisis, which is why he acted like "blocking the road to offer treasures".

The properties of this "criminal silver" are extremely rare, and its efficiency in improving people's cultivation is far higher than that of ordinary items.

He can indeed use the "Sin Yuan Bao" as capital and obtain a large amount of wealth by dividing the "Silver Yuan Bao" and trading with others, but the prerequisite for this is that he has enough ability to keep the treasure.

Otherwise, the "crime of cherishing a jade" is destined to be impossible to escape.

Moreover, the differentiation of "criminal silver" requires luck.For an individual, it is impossible to resist consumption, but it would be much easier to dedicate it to a lord and let him use the luck of the territory to "differentiate" it!

"Sir, He Shen is indeed offering the treasure sincerely... This thing is far less useful in my hands than in your hands!"

He Shen said.

This is indeed what he said.

Although the "Crime Silver" was handed over, it still accompanies strange objects and needs to grow with you. Once it can really play an important role in the territory, it also means that you have corresponding value in the territory, which is beneficial to you. harmless!

"In two days, there will be an 'auction' in the market, and there is a slight shortage of manpower. If Mr. He is free, why not go over and help Master Hongfu Pavilion with the details?"

He Shen has the characteristic of being "greedy for money", and his willingness to hand over the treasure under such circumstances should indeed come from his sincerity.

Xia Tian thought for a while and said.

"Thank you sir, He has enough time and is just trying to do something!"

There was joy in He Shen's eyes.

Although Xia Tian did not arrange a specific position for him, allowing himself to participate in the affairs of "Fangshi" already satisfied him.

You know, this "market" is the busiest place in the territory, and it is also the place he yearns for.

After all, his talent "Money can communicate with gods" determines his cultivation speed and upper limit based on the money and treasures he can control.

After resurrecting his life, he no longer expected to be able to reach a high position below one person and control the world's money like before.

The next best thing is to become a "businessman" and gain immortality through cultivation. It is undoubtedly a good choice!

"I hope He Shen can truly change his ways and cut off from his past self..."

Xia Tian is not sure whether He Shen can really change.

After all, the situation is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change, and it also has the characteristic of being greedy for money.

However, as a lord with the "insight" eye, it is difficult for the people in the territory to escape their own eyes if they have really different intentions.

Moreover, knowing He Shen's character, Shen Lian and others can pay more attention to him, and let the Sky Eagle Guards gradually play part of the "Jinyi Guards" responsibilities!
