Through this incident, Anle had some enlightenment in his mind.
He used to think of the Da Tai Divine Dynasty, Tai Xu Palace, the Wilderness... as several different worlds, but in fact, even though each area covers a vast area and is far apart, when it comes to the use of qi, blood, and spiritual power, they will probably always influence and learn from each other, and it is more likely that they have the same origin.
At the same time, Anle finally understood why the pill-condensing method could only be learned using a special engraved book.
He casually stimulated the Qi and blood in his body, and it began to circulate in a strange way.
But this time, a vague illusion of wildness still emerged before my eyes.
An Le thought to himself, "This method is a bit weird."
"Although it does seem to strengthen the Qi and blood, you still have to control the degree and not be impatient. It's a slow and steady process."
Realizing this, Anle did not feel anxious at all.
What he is best at is hard work and persistence. With a little help from the deduction panel, it is only a matter of time before he can successfully condense the pill.
"However, the blood pill formed by qi and blood is obviously different from the golden pill of immortal cultivation. I don't know what effect it will bring."
Anle couldn't help but feel a little excited.
******
Although spiritual practice is important, Anle did not forget to collect information related to the barren mountain.
After all, this may be related to the safety of Senior Sister Ye Ling'er.
In just half a day, Anle received good news and bad news.
The good news is that according to the rumors he found about the "barren mountain", they basically coincide with the previous statements.
It is said that the grass, trees and wild animals on the mountain mysteriously disappeared overnight, leaving only the desolate mountain.
There was even a hunter in the mountains who experienced this personally. In the middle of the night, he heard a gust of cold wind coming from outside the hut, followed by a creepy swallowing sound. This strange sound lasted for nearly half the night.
The hunter was so frightened that he trembled and dared not go out.
At dawn the next day, the hunter walked out of the room, only to see that his lonely hut was the only one left on the entire mountain.
The hunter was horrified and rushed to the city to tell others about his experience.
He suspected that this was a demon coming to the world, or an extremely terrifying evil spirit coming out of the mountains.
The mountain area where the hunters are located is on the border between Qingzhou and Lingzhou.
The distance to Baoqi County is not that close. Even with Anle's walking speed, it would take several days to get there.
The bad news is.
As the number and frequency of the appearances of the barren mountain wonders gradually increased, it caused considerable panic in the nearby areas. Its influence continued to expand, and naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Apart from the chivalrous men in the martial arts world who loved to join in the fun, the official power of the Da Tai Dynasty seemed to have also targeted the instigator of the barren mountain incident and offered a very high reward.
So for a while, there was a lot of turmoil.
Many famous warriors came out and claimed that they were determined to capture the monster.
It is said that there are indeed wandering disciples from hidden sects who are also waiting for an opportunity to act.
It seems that the owner behind this brothel is just the tip of the iceberg.
"It has come to this?"
After learning this information, Anle couldn't help but frown, realizing the urgency of the situation.
But in Baoqi County, according to the original plan, they cannot get away for the time being, and it will take at least some time to ensure stability.
Anle shook his head and didn't want to drag it on any longer. In his heart, his senior sister was more important than the entire county.
"It seems that we can only speed up."
******
That night.
Anle found Hai Yuqing and explained his plan to him in the identity of Lu Bin.
After listening to this, Hai Yuqing was excited, his eyes sparkling: "I've been waiting for Brother Lu to say this!"
"Actually, I wanted to do this before, but I was worried about hurting Brother Lu's hand, so I didn't mention it until now."
Qing Zhengyang next to him also had a flash of excitement in his eyes.
After Anle's several actions and after learning about the extremely accurate information he provided to Hai Yuqing, Anle's image in Qing Zhengyang's eyes has become almost omnipotent. He is not inferior to the old immortal Wuxu at all, and all his methods are divine.
But soon, Qing Zhengyang became worried again and said, "What if that old immortal Wuxu attacks again? What should we do?"
Anle smiled and said, "I have found a way to deal with Wuxu. At least he won't attack this time."
The two men did not have any doubts at all, but just admired Lu Bin's extraordinary methods, and then continued to discuss the details.
******
The next morning.
All the soldiers in the county government office were gathered together early in the morning. They were inevitably a little surprised, wondering what this Hai Qingtian was going to do.
During this period of time, Hai Yuqing's status in the hearts of these soldiers grew day by day.
At first, they thought that this official was no different from the previous county magistrate. He just said he wanted to be an honest official, but then he accepted the gifts from the landlords and even ate their soldiers' fat.
The previous county governors had basically no use for the soldiers in the county government, and cases of embezzlement of silver occurred frequently.
But no one expected that County Magistrate Hai not only did not make a fortune, but instead returned all the gifts from the gentry and wealthy people, and even spent real money to support the soldiers, helping them to cultivate their qi and blood and strengthen their bodies.
In addition, Hai Yuqing's friendly image has enabled him to become one with the soldiers.
The soldiers all respected and loved him, and secretly felt that the title "Hai Qingtian" was well deserved.
When Hai Yuqing came in front of everyone, he suddenly said something shocking: "The Li family of Baoqi County has sent people to assassinate the county chief many times recently. They are greedy and bold, and regard our Datai laws as correct."
"Today, please help me and follow me to the Li family to get someone!"
There was a brief silence around.
It has been a long time since Hai Yuqing was assassinated and murdered by landlords and gentry.
However, before this, Hai Yuqing never investigated the real culprit behind the incident, allowing Baoqi County to maintain superficial peace.
But today, why do you suddenly want to do this?
A smart official nearby quickly figured out Hai Yuqing's purpose, his face turned slightly pale, and he took a breath of cold air.
"County Governor, no!"
"The Li family has been rooted in Baoqi County for hundreds of years, and they have intermarried with other landlords and gentry. Their ties are complicated. If we mess with their family, there will be no way to end it peacefully."
Hearing this, Hai Yuqing looked at the man dimly: "Old Zhang, how much silver did the Li family give you?"
"At this point, you still can't see the situation clearly?"
The aura of a warrior at the third realm spread out, and it actually frightened the man so much that he fell to his knees, with cold sweat on his back, unable to speak.
Hai Yuqing no longer looked at him, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes that frightened everyone present.
"There's no way to end it peacefully? That's exactly what I want!"
"Knife in hand, follow me!"
After saying that, he led the soldiers out of the yamen.
The remaining officials looked at each other, thinking that something big might happen today.
Some people also looked worried, thinking that Hai Yuqing was still too reckless.
******
Li family manor.
The head of the Li family was still sipping tea leisurely in the courtyard, accompanied by several beautiful maids, looking very relaxed and contented.
At this time, a servant rushed in: "Master! Something happened!"
"Then County Magistrate Hai and his soldiers are coming towards our house!"
Patriarch Li's expression suddenly changed: "Is he crazy?"
"You really want to attack us?"
There is a reason why Hai Yuqing would target the Li family.
Compared with the Dong family and the Sun family, the Li family is more ruthless in their methods. They even maintain a group of outlaws outside Qingyang County. All caravans passing by have to pay a toll.
It can be said that the Li family made their fortune with the help of this group of outlaws.
Moreover, they have the most third-level warriors among the landlords, and there is even one who is half a step into the fourth level.
Therefore, the Li family members were much more brutal in their actions, and they did countless evil things in secret.
During this period, landlords such as the Dong family and the Sun family were very honest and did not dare to continue to attack Hai Yuqing. Only the Li family was still uneasy and still wanted to take Hai Yuqing's head.
They are the most unstable factor in Baoqi County.
If Hai Yuqing wants to continue clearing the land and implementing new policies, he will inevitably face off against the Li family.
His expression changed several times, and Patriarch Li quickly calmed down and sneered, "Then let him come!"
"This time, let him... never come back!"
There was a ruthless look in his eyes: "Go tell Boss Zheng, there's life!"
"And those guest officials at home, we usually spend a lot of money to support them, now is the time to use them!"
******
Outside the manor.
Hai Yuqing has already brought his soldiers to the Li family's fields.
There are vast farmlands here, and many tenants work hard on them.
However, the growth of crops in the fields was not optimistic. Under the scorching sun, the ground was cracked and looked very dry.
Just as Hai Yuqing expected, Baoqi County indeed experienced a severe drought. Even though he had tried hard to reduce farmers' taxes, many people were forced to sell their land and became tenants of landlords.
Beads of sweat flowed down the rough faces of the nearby tenants. They looked up at Hai Yuqing, but there was not much expression on their faces, only numbness.
Hai Yuqing was about to move forward when groups of farmers carrying hoes, sickles and other farm tools blocked the soldiers' way.
"Master Hai, this..."
Qing Zhengyang gave him a questioning look.
Hai Yuqing sighed deeply. He knew very well that these tenant farmers were actually instigated by the Li family to stop him.
The tenant farmers depended on the Li family for survival. As long as the Li family was alive, they could still have something to eat. If the Li family went bankrupt, they would have no land to farm and would have to pay higher taxes.
In the eyes of the tenants, the government is even more evil and terrifying than the Li family!
How can the efforts Hai Yuqing has made in Baoqi County in the past few days compare to the stereotypes of the officials of the Divine Dynasty in the minds of the common people over the years?
Haiyu Blue and White Porcelain may change this perception in a few years.
But now, no matter how much he explained, the farmers would not believe him.
"Brother Lu, thank you for your help."
"Please don't hurt them."
Hai Yuqing looked to his side and saw a scholar in green clothes walking out slowly.
Anle smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake."
He looked in the direction of the tenants and uttered only one word: "Retreat!"
The voice was not very loud, just like the sound of an ordinary sentence.
But in everyone's ears it was like a bolt of thunder, and the strong deterrent effect directly acted on many tenants.
Panic, uneasiness, fear...all kinds of negative emotions arise.
In their eyes, the blue-clothed scholar not far away seemed to have turned into an extremely terrifying monster that could pounce on them at any time and tear them to pieces and devour them.
This primitive fear instantly took hold of the tenants' hearts, and they screamed and fled in all directions.
After all, they are just ordinary farmers, not even warriors, how can they withstand Anle's [The Power of the Sky]?
Even this is the result of many times the suppression and restraint of comfort.
