"It just looks a little bit weird."
An Le thought to himself, "Except for not being able to speak, he's perfect!"
"Whether as a substitute or in my next plan, this magic shadow will be very useful."
After a simple attempt at the recent gains, the number of deductions has almost been refreshed.
After finishing the deduction, Anle showed a playful smile on his face.
"This squire in Baoqi County is really bold and daring."
******
Only one day had passed.
The situation in Baoqi County has undergone a dramatic change.
Most of the people who were ready to watch the show did not expect that Hai Yuqing's counterattack would come so suddenly and so quickly.
After looking at the land register and inspecting the land, Hai Yuqing had a basic understanding of the land conditions in Baoqi County. He directly began to order the measurement of the land and the re-making of the land register. All land, regardless of official, civilian or military, was required to be paid in silver per mu. At the same time, he directly and vigorously punished the problematic officials under his command and replaced them with people he could trust relatively.
Hai Yuqing knew very well that in Baoqi County, there were almost no officials who had confiscated money.
He didn't care whether his officials were corrupt or not. As long as they could get things done and had the ability, Hai Yuqing would employ them.
In fact, some officials do not want to be corrupt, but in this environment, not being corrupt has become an anomaly.
With Hai Yuqing taking the lead, some people were able to regain their original intention of being officials.
At this stage, there is no need for Anle to take action. Hai Yuqing and Qing Zhengyang, two third-level warriors, can solve most of the problems.
After all, this is just a small county town, not a prefecture or a state.
The first to be affected by the liquidation of land were several landlords in Baoqi County.
Chapter 201: Immortal Wuxu, with boundless magical powers!
The landlords and gentry who were used to bullying in Baoqi County had never imagined that the new county magistrate would be so bold as to completely disregard the unspoken rules and directly stab them in the vitals.
Landlord, landlord, only those who own land can be considered landlords.
This land liquidation seems to be clearing the fields, but in fact it is about taking their lives!
But with the two third-level masters coming forward, the landlords could only obey temporarily on the surface. On the one hand, they entrusted Xushe with the task, letting the clerks and civilians slack off and slowing down the progress of clearing the land, while on the other hand, they did some tricks behind the scenes.
Just this night.
A black shadow suddenly rushed into the government office in the county town, emitting a fishy odor that suddenly rushed in all directions.
This breath carries an indescribable evil and filthiness, and any warrior with strong qi and blood will instinctively feel uncomfortable.
The officers and soldiers in the county government noticed the noise and immediately gathered towards the source of the fishy smell.
In the light of the torches, the true face of the black shadow was revealed to everyone, causing a burst of exclamations.
"monster!"
"Is it a demon beast? No, there is no demonic energy, only evil energy. It is an evil spirit! Be careful..."
"Cover your mouth and nose quickly, the smell is poisonous!"
Before the officers and soldiers could get ready, the strange evil creature let out a shrill scream and rushed into the crowd.
This evil spirit barely still had a human form, clad in tattered robes. The hands stretched out from under the robes were dark blue in color, emitting a rotten stench, and the nails on the fingertips were extremely sharp and as black as ink, and it was obvious at a glance that it was carrying deadly toxins.
It turned out to be a zombie!
It has immense strength and a solid body, and it can knock several warriors away with just one random charge.
The pair of poisonous claws were sharper than steel knives. With a powerful swing, they could cut off the weapons in the hands of officers and soldiers.
If it fell on a living person, the victim's face would instantly turn blue, foam would come out of the mouth, blood would flow from all seven orifices, and eventually the poison would cause death.
Even if they didn't touch the zombie's body, it was still emitting poisonous gas all the time. Many officers and soldiers had difficulty breathing, and their blood circulation was blocked, as if they were suffering from some disease.
This poisonous zombie is like a walking plague and is extremely lethal.
It rushed all the way to the backyard of the government office, causing heavy casualties wherever it went.
The officers and soldiers gradually began to hesitate and were unwilling to fight to the death.
They came to work in the county government for money, not to throw their lives away in vain!
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd.
"Death to the evildoer!"
Qing Zhengyang, who was dressed in white, was seen with his blood surging all over his body, forming a blood-qi battle suit. Veins bulged on his fair face, and his muscles expanded. He punched directly at the chest of the poisonous zombie.
boom!
The man and the corpse collided fiercely, and the surging force shattered the bluestone slabs under their feet into powder.
The qi, blood and fishy smell were entangled, like ice meeting fire, constantly blending with each other, making a "hissing" sound.
The two sides exchanged a few punches head-on.
Although they seemed to be evenly matched, Qing Zhengyang's face turned pale, his blood boiling, and he was surprised: "How could this poisonous zombie have such exaggerated brute force? I'm afraid it has already surpassed the strength of bronze skin and iron bones."
"And this poisonous gas..."
Qing Zhengyang looked down at the blood and qi battle suit on his body. In the blink of an eye, the blood and qi layer that was wrapped in fishy and evil spirits had several tiny damages and became obviously thinner.
If we wait until the suit collapses and then come into direct contact with the skin, the consequences will be disastrous.
Roar! ! !
During the fierce battle, Qing Zhengyang was distracted. The poisonous zombie found an opportunity, opened its mouth wide, and a mouthful of dark green poisonous gas gushed out, heading straight for his face. At the same time, its claws brought up gusts of fishy wind and scratched towards his chest.
The stench of poison gas was so close, and the deadly sense of crisis made Qing Zhengyang's brain go blank.
At this moment, he seemed to see...
A big sun!
The dark and eerie courtyard suddenly became bright.
The heat brought by the qi and blood turned into tangible light, like the sun, which was impossible to look directly at.
A white and slender index finger seemed to appear out of thin air in front of the poisonous zombie. It seemed to carry a strange magical power, causing everyone present to focus their eyes on it.
The bleak green poisonous gas completely dissolved in the exaggerated energy and blood before it even touched the index finger.
The poisonous zombie's claws continued to move forward at an extremely fast speed, trying to cut off the finger.
However, the closer the black poisonous claw got to the finger, the thicker the blood and energy it came into contact with.
Just like putting your hand into a furnace, black gas continued to emerge from the surface of the poisonous claw, and the already dark skin color gradually became charred and cracked under the high temperature, revealing the flesh and blood that had already become stiff and alienated.
Then, the poisonous claws suddenly caught fire.
A raging fire lit up.
The flames began to spread from the fingertips, climbing towards the zombie's wrists, forearms, upper arms, and chest... It licked without restraint, and in a blink of an eye, the blood and qi in those poisonous claws were completely ignited, exposing the pale bones, and even the bones could not escape the fate of being ignited.
"Uhhhhh!!!"
The poisonous zombie's roar soon turned into a shrill scream.
At this time, its entire body was covered in red flames, and the robe it had been wearing had long been burned to ashes, and it looked extremely miserable.
Thick black gas spread out, but was tightly wrapped by the blood and then swallowed up bit by bit.
There was an indescribable sense of weirdness in that posture, as if... the poisonous zombies and evil spirits were being chewed and eaten by the blood, qi and flames.
Soon, the poisonous zombie's body completely melted in the flames, leaving only scattered ashes.
The people around couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked at the scene in shock.
It only took this short moment, from the time the finger was extended to the time the poisonous zombie died, less than five breaths. The evil spirit that was so terrifying and ferocious just now and swept across the way was now left with not even a trace.
Qing Zhengyang was shocked even more. He couldn't help but look at the blue-clothed scholar in front of him and swallowed secretly.
He had personally fought against poisonous zombies and had reached a higher level in martial arts, so he was more aware of how powerful and difficult this evil spirit was, especially its toxicity, which was difficult for an ordinary third-level warrior to resist.
But such a terrifying evil spirit was easily crushed to death like a small ant.
Comparing the aura he sensed from Anle before, Qing Zhengyang's eyes were a little dull: "Senior Lu's blood and energy are stronger than before?"
"Or did he not actually use his full strength before?"
Anle looked around and saw many warriors were injured and lying on the ground, wailing softly.
The superficial injuries from being knocked away were minor matters; the most troublesome thing was the toxins and evil spirits that were like maggots in the tarsal bones.
These officers and soldiers, who are generally only at the first or second realm, have qi and blood that are far from sufficient to resist the evil spirit of zombies.
Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will inevitably suffer a serious illness afterwards, and their qi and blood will decline to a certain extent. For these officers and soldiers who rely on qi and blood for their livelihood, this is tantamount to crippling them.
Thinking of this, Anle waved his hand, and the vigorous energy and blood spread like sunshine, sprinkling on everyone.
As soon as they showed a look of fear, they suddenly felt their bodies were warm and comfortable.
Those cold and icy evil spirits disappeared like smoke in the blink of an eye, just like melting ice.
After refining the remaining evil spirit in everyone's body, Anle's aura increased slightly imperceptibly.
This secret method of [Swallowing Ghosts and Refining Blood] is still useful even when one reaches the Golden Core Stage.
Anle said casually: "Find someone to clean up this place, everyone leave."
After what happened just now, the warriors looked at Anle with awe and gratitude in their eyes, and naturally obeyed his orders.
Anle turned and walked towards the study, and Qing Zhengyang hurriedly followed.
There was an oil lamp lit in the study, and Hai Yuqing was sitting inside, flipping through a book slowly. He obviously trusted Anle very much and did not think that this little disturbance could pose any threat.
Anle asked, "Is there any family in Baoqi County that can drive away evil spirits?"
Qing Zhengyang looked thoughtful. "That old immortal Wuxu is the biggest suspect, but I heard that the Sun family also has a witch who is proficient in witchcraft. She doesn't seem to be a person who has gained her fame for nothing."
"The Sun family?"
Anle touched his chin and said, "Zhengyang, you stay by County Magistrate Hai's side. I'm going to go for a walk outside."
After saying that, he took a step forward and disappeared into the room.
Qing Zhengyang had a strange expression on his face when he heard the way Anle was addressed as a junior, but judging from Anle's facial features, he was much younger than him.
If it were before, Qing Zhengyang might have felt dissatisfied, but now... he actually felt somewhat honored?
"This is Senior Lu's trust in me!"
"Others want it but can't get it!"
However, at this time, Qing Zhengyang couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Hai Yuqing, "Brother Hai, who is Senior Lu?"
"This energy and blood is even more abundant and rich than that of my master."
Hai Yuqing just smiled without answering, with a mysterious expression, which made Qing Zhengyang more and more impatient.
******
"The poisonous zombie is dead?"
In an alley a few hundred meters away from the county government office, a wrinkled, gray-haired witch frowned and asked, "How could it be so fast?"
The clothes she wore seemed extremely strange to ordinary people, with intricate and bizarre patterns, bright colors, and incomprehensible designs.
There were several copper- and jade-like ornaments on her earlobes and neck, which emitted a strange spiritual power.
Different from those witches and sorcerers who could only deceive and cheat the ignorant people, this witch had real skills. She was good at controlling ghosts and casting spells, and was often invited by landlords and gentry to do some immoral things.
Later, the Sun family spent a large amount of money to entertain him as a guest official, but he rarely took action personally unless it was an important matter.
It was only after Hai Yuqing actually took action against the Sun family that he asked the witch to do some sinister things.
The witch immediately sent out the poisonous zombie that she had raised for a long time, but she didn't expect that its aura dissipated not long after it entered the county government office.
"Are there other strong men following County Magistrate Hai?"
"It takes at least five third-level warriors to subdue the poisonous zombie."
The witch's expression changed several times: "Never mind, the zombie's poison has erupted, even a third-level warrior will have to rest for half a month."
"Combined with this information, I have done my best for the Sun family."
