Saint Immortal Way

()013-12-19

On the banks of the Li River, a small village that has just migrated is quietly shrouded in the morning mist.There are currently only a hundred families in the small village, all of whom migrated from the North Flame Prison wasteland, and most of them are barbarians.

The village chief's family is from Kyushu. They were poor farmers who moved from the countryside of the barren state at first, but after settling down in the wilderness of Beiyan Prison, they were allocated a lot of land and their life gradually became richer.

In response to the call of Her Royal Highness to develop the south, many people who lived unsatisfactorily responded to the call and migrated to the south along the Li River.

As long as they are from Kyushu, if they take the lead in migrating, they will become the head of a village, and they can also get hundreds of taels of supporting silver. At the same time, no matter how much good land they open up after the migration, they will belong to them, and no one can take it away.

In other words, after government support, the relocated and opened up fields are family properties that can be passed down from generation to generation. This has moved the hearts of many poor farmers who have not had much land for generations.

On the edge of the small village, dozens of people are developing rice fields.

There are more than a dozen villagers who are yelling to raise a water truck high and transfer the water in the canal to the canal beside the field.

Turning over a small hillside, several barbarians are building a small temple under the leadership of the village chief. The temple is just an ordinary house with the door open, and a statue is enshrined inside. It can only be seen that it is a female god. Can't see Xuanhuang's appearance.

The village head did not need to work, he squatted on the threshold with a cigarette stick in his mouth, and directed the villagers to build it. After a while, the statue was placed, and the village head said: "Okay, this river temple will be like this first, the court said Yes, every village in the Li River Basin must build a river temple. After the river temple is built, it will be reported to the higher authorities, and 150 taels of silver will be obtained immediately. The village has dealt with all the cattle and farm tools!"

A barbarian villager immediately fawned over him, offered shredded tobacco to the village chief and said, "It's better for the imperial court. Now our family can eat meat every other day, and the children in the family are growing stronger than before!"

The village chief nodded and said with a smile: "Hehe, everyone works hard. Other village chiefs can't guarantee it, but this village chief can guarantee enough food and warm clothes. In the future, send your children to private schools. If you are lucky, whichever family can produce a scholar, then that family will be superior to others from now on, and let him sit in my position as the village chief!"

Several barbarian villagers rubbed their hands excitedly.

"Village chief, I heard that the higher-ups plan to organize our villages in the Li River area and plant something called tea in a unified way..."

The village chief nodded excitedly and said: "Yes, there is such a thing. This tea is something that people in Kyushu drink sooner or later. It is very valuable, especially some wild tea, which can be worth a lot of money in the future. Therefore, the village chief is thinking, In a few days, I will lead all the villagers to open up the nearby hillsides, not only to plant tea trees, but also to transplant the bitter tea from the wilderness back to cultivate, perhaps, the future prosperity of our village will depend on them!"

"It's a good feeling. I heard that many villages in Beiyan prison have become rich because of planting tea trees. If our village can do the same in the future, it will be worth our hard work to come here and take root!" A villager said with emotion.

The village head knocked on the threshold with a cigarette stick in displeasure, and shouted: "Why, why are you still reluctant to part with your poor place where birds don't shit? Isn't it good here? There are fields and land, houses and property, and farming at home. Niu, this kind of life, the village chief never experienced it when he was in Kyushu, hehe, within three years, I can guarantee that every household in our village has surplus food and meat. There will be any exorbitant taxes, what else do you want?"

A few barbarian villagers panicked immediately, and one of them laughed and said, "No... the village chief, what I mean is that we finally got here, so we must do a good job and give our mother-in-law and baby a good life! "

The village head showed a smile, patted the thick man, and said with a smile: "Haha, Zhu Shi had a good idea... You probably don't know that it's our luck to be able to land the village on the edge of the Li River, the imperial court Having said that, the Li River will be open to boats soon, and a small wharf will be built outside each village. In the future, the big ships will go from south to north, and our things will be sold to Kyushu, and the good things from Kyushu will also pass through With this river in our hands, in the days to come, we can get whatever we want, so we don’t have to worry about it at all!”

The eyes of several villagers brightened, and they asked: "If you pass the boat, you can really get anything? Then is there such a beautiful silk?"

The village chief glanced at him, and said disdainfully: "Silk? What's that worth... Let me tell you, even the panacea that those noble gentlemen take will have it. Of course, the premise is that you can afford it, but wait until someday." Your child is promising and able to enter, then you may be able to eat the panacea every day in the future, instead of eating those mortal foods!"

"Tsk tsk..." The savages were amazed.

Because of the southern expedition of the Southern Expedition Army, the Kyushu culture had an unprecedented impact on the barbarians. Many barbarians naturally yearned for the good things from Kyushu. In normal times, they knew more or less how beautiful the life of Kyushu people was.

In their eyes, Kyushu people are all upper-class people, and the food, clothing, and use, even the usual travel and ride, are different.

The life of Kyushu people is to live in a dream and enjoy the best things.

A savage said enviously: "Oh, we really didn't have the right birth. If we were born in Kyushu, we would have been overwhelmed every day!"

"Big fish and big meat are nothing!" The village head reprimanded bluntly: "That kid in your family is very smart, I think he is smarter, so hurry up and send him to a private school, maybe in a few years he can really enter the academy and become a student... Hehe, By that time, your family will be considered a landowner!"

"Like Uncle Yiyong's family?" Manzi asked in surprise.

"Well, even if you still have some knowledge, you can know about Uncle Yiyong, hehe, that's right, if your son is successful, he will be like Uncle Yiyong's father in the future. "The village head laughed.

"Who is Uncle Yiyong, how could we not have heard of it? Isn't it rumored all over the place now?" Manzi laughed.

The village head nodded, knocked on the cigarette stick, and recalled: "This Uncle Yiyong is indeed the pride of our people in Huangzhou. He has almost been promoted from a commoner to an earl at a young age. Speaking of which, the ancestor of the Lu family is amazing. Do you know the Yin Ruins Dynasty?"

"I know, I know, I heard that it is the former court!"

The village head nodded, and continued to recall: "The emperor of the Yinxu Dynasty belonged to the Lu family, and their Lu family is considered to be the royal family of the previous dynasty. After all these years, it is not surprising that they can make a fortune again!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that the people of Da Kuang are the most particular about inheritance. The ancestors are honorable, and the descendants are also honored. Now we are also considered members of the Da Kuang Dynasty?" Manzi said.

"Forget it, this land belongs to the imperial court from now on, and the people who live on it, no matter who they belonged to before, are all Da Kuang people now. I heard that in the future, the entire Flame Prison Great Wasteland will be Become the tenth state of the dynasty, called Yanzhou, I believe this day is not far away!"

The village chief is obviously a knowledgeable person. He looked at the adoring eyes of the Manzi villagers and felt unprecedented satisfaction in his heart. After a while, he said again: "Let me tell you one more news. I saw the goddess of the river in the temple." Well, it is said that this lady’s family name is Lu, and you can call her Lady Lu in the future. As long as you worship her during the festivals, she will bless you all. If the whole village worships her, she will bless our village with good weather. , Peace and peace!"

"Mistress Lu?" The villagers were taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Isn't this Empress of the River God in the same family as Uncle Yiyong?"

"Perhaps it was really a family 500 years ago!" The village head laughed.

"That's good, I have to pray, I heard that the reason why the Great Wasteland of Flame Prison is so prosperous is because of Uncle Yiyong's plan!"

"Well, Uncle Yiyong is indeed a very wise man. A scholar who cultivates himself and governs the country and the world, he has made some achievements!" The village head smoked a cigarette, his thoughts wandering far and wide.

At this moment, the village chief didn't know that above the sky above his head, a mighty piece of light flew from far to near, and finally circled around and stopped over the village.

It is none other than Lu Yang, Xuanhuang and his party who control this piece of light.

This time, it was Emperor Xuan who inspected Lihe.

Naturally, Emperor Xuan couldn't travel alone, and he had to have a certain style.

Behind Xuanhuang, there are more than a dozen officials and hundreds of guards. They are all well-cultivated and able to walk in the sky, but they don't need to consume mana. The mana condenses into cloud light, and people standing on it feel like walking on flat ground.

A group of people cruised mightily in the air, overlooking the Li River.

"Your Majesty, there is an auspicious aura in the village below, which has the meaning of rising. If you read it correctly, it should be a temple dedicated to His Majesty!" an official stepped forward and said.

"Well, I know!" Emperor Xuan had seen it a long time ago, so he came here.

Emperor Xuan glanced at Lu Yang, and said with satisfaction: "I didn't expect you to move so fast, I thought it would take three to five years to repair the Heshen Temple!"

"In the affairs of the world, as long as you have power and money, many things are not difficult to do. The superiors only need to say a word, and the inferiors will toil and work willingly, just like driving chariots and horses!"

Xuanhuang smiled and said: "This is the reason why people in the world are obsessed with power. Many people in this world are chasing after these things, but those of us who practice are chasing stronger power, longer life, and the infinite power. Endless unknown!"

Lu Yang nodded, looked down from the clouds at the River God Temple next to the village, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right, if we can absorb the power of all living beings in our practice, there will always be more benefits. Today is just the right time. Since we have come here, it can be regarded as a chance, will your majesty go down to manifest the spirit?"

Xuanhuang was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Alright, then manifest the spirit, let all living beings know the inspiration of God, so that they will be in awe and pious!"
