Raising the Demon

Chapter 444
Many people have their own judgments in their own hearts, and they are quite disapproving of Hong Qinying's judgment, but one side is a Shangguan, and the other is a super idler who has just become a Shanshuilang. Which one should I listen to?
The officials were unanimously silent.

"I called my lords here just to let everyone get together and solve the biggest threat right now. I got the news that Ying Longzong had already activated the Great Spirit Gathering Formation in the morning. By tomorrow morning, I'm afraid that the spirit energy will be gone." It started to disappear." Hong Qinying said.

"It's not too late, you go to Zibuyu now and get back all the land you need," Hong Qinying said.

Dong Xintian nodded, got up and left without further delay.

Watching Dong Xintian leave, Hong Qinying said to Pu Yijun, "Go and help Xintian arrange the supplies that will arrive soon."

Pu Yijun also took orders to go.

They arrived first, and a large amount of supplies were being dispatched from behind. In a few hours, the first batch of supplies should arrive.

……

When Dong Xintian came to find Zi Baifeng, Zi Baifeng doubted his ears.

"Master Dong, what did you say?" Zi Baifeng was shocked, his unbelievable look made Dong Xintian feel offended, and felt that Zi Baifeng was just pretending to be crazy.

"Under the order of Master Hong, come to take back the land in the ring zone around Tianfu." Dong Xintian said coldly. In his opinion, Zi Baifeng is a typical example of making a fortune in a country. It is a speculative move to buy the land around Zaitianfu at a high price and collect the land.

"Master Dong, you are joking." Zi Baifeng finally confirmed that he heard correctly. He thought that Dong Xintian came to cooperate with him. After all, the entire Zaitian Mansion now depends on him to maintain its vitality, otherwise It's already dead.

But it turns out that he was too idealistic and naive, and he underestimated other people's paranoia and self-confidence.

"Ming people don't talk dark words. Your formations have never had any effect at all. Yinglongzong has opened the Great Spirit Gathering Formation, which will immediately affect Zaitianfu. It is of no use at all, why not give it to me." Dong Xintian said.

"Is Mr. Dong too whimsical?" Zi Baifeng was extremely upset when Dong Xintian said so. He worked so hard and almost died of exhaustion to frame the entire Zaitian Mansion. These people came to make trouble instead. He was really curious about these people Did you go out and see? With the power of Yinglongzong's huge spirit-gathering formation, it had already affected Zaitian Mansion as early as when it was restarted. The current Zaitian Mansion is completely still because of Zi Baifeng's actions. strength.

"First, all the land was jointly purchased by me and Jiqiaozong. With the land deed in hand, even Lord Dong and even Lord Hong have no right to take it back. Second, the reason why the entire Zaitian Mansion is not yet Chengdecheng, I dare not say that it is my credit, but it is not what Master Dong said, it is entirely because Yinglongzong stopped the spirit gathering formation." Zi Baifeng said.

"We can redeem the land deed at the original price in the name of Zai Tianfu. As for the formation..." Dong Xintian's disdain did not hide at all, "Dong is not blind, so what about the Jiqiao sect? The attainments of other people's formations are nothing more than ordinary, and Dong is confident that in Zaitian Mansion, there is no one who can create formations that Dong cannot understand."

The two parties broke up unhappy, although Dong Xintian was furious, but Zi Baifeng couldn't laugh or cry.

Elder Pingqi appeared behind Zi Baifeng, shook his head, and only said four words: "Shallow, arrogant."

Regarding Dong Xintian's arrogance, he was already unable to complain, and he couldn't even get angry.

"On paper." Zi Baifeng said, his comment was not on Dong Xintian, but on Hong Qinying.

Unexpectedly, Shangjing removed Gao Shan'an and sent such a new magistrate.

The people of Zai Tianzhou are so innocent.

"If he goes back like this, he will definitely not give up. What are you going to do?" Elder Pingqi is also a person with rich experience. He feels that a paranoid person like Hong Qinying will naturally not give up or give up easily. The wind exerts increasing pressure.

"I can only follow their wishes." Zi Baifeng smiled wryly. When he summoned the servants, he didn't expect the time to become so tense.

Although he has become a man of mountains and rivers, the entire Zaitian Prefecture is poor in aura, and he has no control over the place where the aura is poor.

Zi Baifeng's control over the land comes from two aspects, one aspect is aura, and only when aura is abundant can he be able to control it.

Another aspect is the human heart.

The current Zi Baifeng is not a parent official in the traditional sense, so people only need to care about the loyalty of his subordinates, Mr. Sun, Mr. Hua, and the 320 seven households.

And what are the ways to get people's hearts quickly?The most effective way, of course, is to spend money to buy.

Give them enough benefits, and people's hearts will naturally come.

Zi Baifeng gathered them together, intending to throw them an extremely lucrative price that is hard to refuse at the right time, and directly settle their loyalty. If there are troublesome people among them who cannot be beaten with money, he will think about other things. Method.

The wasteland is too big, and it is unrealistic to completely cover it with aura. Zi Baifeng plans to use his status as a landscaper to open up a new city in the wilderness, and then use this new city as a base to slowly expand outward.

The city lord of the new city is naturally himself.

Although the place that has become Xincheng is not under his Shanshuilang's jurisdiction, but the territories of Xincheng and Shanshuilang are seamlessly connected and there is no difference.

"I just feel sorry for these ordinary people in Zaitian Mansion." Zi Baifeng smiled wryly, they just had a good few days, and they are afraid that they will return to the days of lack of spiritual energy and suffering from hunger and cold.

Perhaps it was a mistake to choose Zaitianfu as the focus of development.

But if things don't develop to the end, who knows how it will develop?
But now Zi Baifeng is already unable to protect himself, so how can he manage so much?
"What a fuck." Zi Baifeng scolded fiercely, he and Lord Gao Shan Angao spent so much effort, everything they did, for what?Is it just to make people ruin it like this?
There are always so many unpleasant things in this world.

Elder Ping Shang didn't know what to say.

……

On the second day, Zi Baifeng came directly to Zaitian Mansion Yamen, and Hong Qinying was calling many ministers for a meeting.

When Zi Baifeng asked to see her, she thought about it and told Zi Baifeng to enter the venue.

In front of everyone, Zi Baifeng took out all the land deeds from his sleeve and held them in his hands.

"These land deeds are all the land deeds Mr. Dong asked for yesterday. In terms of business, most of these land deeds were purchased with funds from the Jiqiao Sect. Since your lord wants to redeem them at the original price, I will offer them with both hands." Zi Baifeng stood in the field , the voice is a little hoarse.

He didn't call him a subordinate but called him himself because of his emotions. In any case, he couldn't agree with such a stupid move, but the situation is stronger than others.

Seeing that Zi Baifeng was doing so well, Hong Qinying was also very satisfied in her heart, and she didn't pay much attention to some minor details. She immediately called the accountant and began to calculate the value of those land deeds.

After some calculations, the total reached 1000 taels of silver, a figure that made Hong Qinying speechless.

This kid is silent, maybe he is not a very good person, but he is really rich and powerful.

"Since your lords deny my efforts and think that I am just a person who is trying to gain fame, the lower officials are powerless to refute it." Zi Baifeng's voice became even hoarse, "It's just that I have something to say first."

Zi Baifeng glanced at everyone, and said: "Since I have handed over these land deeds, I will no longer be able to maintain the aura of Zai Tianfu. I will not be responsible for what will happen after handing over the land deeds, and I will not be responsible for what I did today. In order to take any responsibility, I ask Lord Hong and all the adults to forgive me for this."

"Hmph." Dong Xintian sneered, he didn't think what would happen after Zi Baifeng handed over the land deed.

"In addition, I have another request." Zi Baifeng looked at Hong Guniang and said, "The landscape map of the Shanshui Academy is outdated. I have served as an official for the benefit of one party. I want to re-map the landscape, so I beg Master Hong to allow me to leave. Zai Tianfu, go to the mountains and rivers to survey and map the mountains and rivers."

Zi Baifeng was really disheartened and didn't want to play with them anymore.

Hong Qinying glanced over the crowd, and found that there was some unbearable expression on their faces, thinking that this Zi Baifeng was not incompetent for being able to deceive so many people, but it was a pity that his mind was not on the right path.

"Sure." Hong Qinying nodded and said.

Zi Baifeng took a deep breath and said, "In this case, please take away these land deeds." Zi Baifeng took a deep breath and handed over those land deeds to Dong Xintian.

This is not the first time Zi Baifeng has given up the land he has already acquired. The last time he was in Xijing, he was deprived of his official position of Zhizheng and went to build a dam.

But no matter how many times it is, the feeling of being stripped of the territory is still as painful as cutting flesh with a knife.

Zi Baifeng's body was trembling, and after handing over the land deeds, he also seemed to have become depressed.

"My lords, take care, Zibuyu will take a step first." Zi Baifeng bowed in a circle, turned and left.

Watching Zi Baifeng's back, everyone felt sad when the rabbit died.

In the Gaoshan'an era, although Zi Baifeng had no official position, he did not need to be notified when he went in and out of the government office, and he chatted and laughed happily with the adults.

And once he lost power at this time, he immediately turned into such a miserable appearance.

How impermanent is this world.

Zi Baifeng pushed open the door and went out, feeling a dry and cold wind blowing.

When I came in, it was like a warm spring, but now it seemed to have suddenly turned into a cold winter.

But it's the season when osmanthus is fragrant in September, and when the cypress wind blows in, the leaves around are still green.

It was only a few minutes, and when he came out again, the yellow leaves had already started to fall.

It was as if someone had adjusted the calendar faster, and Zi Baifeng looked over at a glance, and the whole Zaitian Mansion felt more bleak.

Zi Baifeng raised his head, and the aura gathered in the sky above Zaitian Mansion collapsed like an avalanche, becoming less and less and thinner, sweeping away in all directions.

The government office is alright, there is a gathering of spirits to protect the periphery, but outside the government office, it is already lifeless.

The Yinglongzong's spirit-gathering formation is so fierce. The newly restored formation, under the careful maintenance of Yinglongzong's disciples, is frantically absorbing spiritual energy. It was previously said that Tianfu was lying on the main line of the earth. On the surface, there are already signs of recovery in the east, but at this time, the obstacles have been eliminated.

On the street, people from every household walked out of the door in surprise, staring at the sky with wide-eyed eyes.

Because of the rapid dissipation of spiritual energy, the clouds in the sky were stirred and torn by an invisible force, and they were torn into pieces of cloud filaments in a short time before disappearing.

The rosiness on the faces of the old people is also gradually disappearing, and their straight bodies are slowly hunching down.

The laughing children stopped in their tracks, and the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.

The adults frowned tightly, asking each other, not knowing what happened.

Zi Baifeng walked out of the government office, and a familiar official grabbed him and asked, "My lord, what happened? What happened? Why did the aura suddenly disappear?"

This person is none other than the household official who once accompanied Zi Baifeng to buy land.

If it was someone else, Zi Baifeng really didn't want to say anything, but when he saw him, Zi Baifeng had to say something.

"Master Hong took away all my land deeds and said that he wanted to build a spirit gathering formation." Zi Baifeng's voice had a strong nasal tone.

"How did this happen? How did this happen?" The household official fell back two steps and stood there blankly.

No matter how much he said, Zi Baifeng didn't want to say any more, so he took a deep breath and strode away.

"My lord, my lord, where are you going? You can't go, you can't go!" The household official came after him, but Zi Baifeng ran all the way without looking back.

To whom should he tell the unspeakable pain in his heart?

In this world, many things do not depend on individual will.

Zi Baifeng felt that things should develop like this, but it happened to develop in another direction, who can control it?Who can control fate?
Thinking of his self-confidence when Hong Qinying disembarked, and thinking that he could let Hong Qinying rely on him at that time, Zi Baifeng could only say that he was still too naive.

"Master Hua." Zi Baifeng strode to the opposite Shanshui courtyard. In the landscape courtyard, Master Sun and Master Hua were also looking at each other, not knowing what happened.

"Lord Liu, Master Hua." Zi Baifeng said, "The aura of Zaitian Mansion is about to disappear completely, and the whole Zaitian Mansion will have a hard time. I want to leave Zaitian Mansion. You go ask the servants, who is willing to be with me? Walk together."

"Master Zi, what happened?" The two grabbed Zi Baifeng and asked repeatedly.

Zi Baifeng just shook his head and said: "Go quickly, I only wait for them for an hour, within an hour, I will leave."

The two of them didn't know why, Zi Baifeng smiled wryly and said: "If there are those who don't want to leave, tell them that they can go to my Zifu to take refuge temporarily, but once Zaitianfu's spiritual energy is completely lost, I am afraid that my Zifu will not be able to protect many people .”

"My lord... My lord..." The household official finally caught up, grabbed Zi Baifeng, and said, "My lord, you can't return the land deed. If you do this, it will cost thousands of dollars." What should the people of Zai Tian Mansion do?"

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Mr. Sun and Mr. Hua have been staying in such a small place as Shanshuiyuan, and the news is not well-informed. It took a long time for them to silence this man and that rich man. get in touch.

"What's wrong?" The household official had already started to cry, "Zai Tian Mansion is over..."

He is a native of Zaitianfu, and all his clan lives here.Which of the local officials in Zaitian Mansion did not work hard for the refugees who fled back then, thinking that Zaitian Mansion would become a dead place like Changliu City and other cities, he felt sad from his heart.

……

In the government office, after Zi Baifeng strode away, Hong Qinying looked at Dong Xintian with a smile, and said, "Master Dong, Zibuyu has handed over the land deed, and the rest is up to you."

"It will definitely fulfill the mission." Dong Xintian said, "Some of the jade has already arrived in Zaitian Mansion just now, and the officials immediately summoned people to set up a big formation. It only takes three days to start the big formation..."

"Do you feel that something is wrong?" Before Dong Xintian could finish speaking, a deputy yelled.

When he called out like this, everyone became suspicious.

"It seems... the aura has become thinner." Another official said.

"Perhaps Yinglongzong's spirit-gathering formation has already affected my Zaitian Mansion." Hong Qinying said, "It's not too late, Mr. Dong, you should lead your people to set up the formation immediately."

Before he could finish his sentence, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Who? Get out!" Hong Qinying glared angrily at the follower who barged in.

The follower opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't dare to disobey Hong Qinying's order, and retreated cautiously.

"What's wrong..." More and more officials feel that something is wrong.

The light in the entire room seemed to have dimmed.

"This is..." Hong Qinying opened the door, looked up, her complexion suddenly changed.

Outside the window, it was bleak.

I don't know when, the sky has been covered with a layer of gray smog, and there is a dead air between the sky and the earth.

And among this dead energy, there are only a few places where there is enough spiritual energy.

The aura was so dazzling that it shot straight into the sky.Of course it is Zifu.

"This...what the hell is going on?" Hong Qinying's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Where is the spiritual energy? Where did the spiritual energy go? Why did it happen?" Dong Xintian opened his mouth in disbelief, "This is impossible, how could the Yinglongzong's spirit gathering formation have such a big influence? What about our spiritual energy? Will...how could..."

"My lord, where is my lord?" An official yelled loudly, he rushed out, grabbed the entourage outside the door, and asked, "Did you see where your lord went?"

"Your Excellency has been away for a long time." The entourage just answered in this way.

"This... What kind of trick did this Zi Buyu use?" Hong Qinying was furious, "Is he forcing the palace?"
