Seeking the Flying Sword Path Chapter 40: He who is in trouble
bsp;Outside Yougao County.
Hundreds of people including the county guard are at the tomb of the Jia family's ancestors. A new tomb has been built next to the tomb of Jia Huairen's father.
"Uncle Qian." Jia Huairen, wearing sackcloth and mourning, knelt in front of the grave with tears in his eyes.
"A monster has served two generations with great loyalty. After his death, he only wants to be buried next to his old master, a loyal monster, a loyal monster." The Lord Sheriff said with emotion.
Commander Fang nodded: "It is indeed rare."
Qin Yun looked at the tombstone silently.
"This Jia Huairen can be regarded as a kind of conscientious person for being able to show his filial piety for Mr. Qian." Yi Xiao sent a message to Qin Yun.
"After all, he was brought up by Mr. Qian." Qin Yun said in a message, "Mr. Qian not only nurtured him, but also helped him embark on the path of cultivation. With his kind of temperament, he can open the gate of immortality. What a price to pay for money.”
Yi Xiao nodded.
"Jia Huairen, although you escaped alone, this loyal servant of the monster has indeed made great achievements this time. I promise you that I will send someone to deliver the hundred poisonous blood to your house in a few days." The county guard said.
"Thank you, Lord Sheriff." Jia Huairen knelt in front of the grave and turned to thank the Lord Sheriff.
"Well, I'll forgive you and accept the change."
After the Lord Sheriff finished speaking, he turned around and led the people away.
Qin Yun and Yi Xiao also left together.
Soon only Jia Huairen was left around the cemetery. In summer, the wind was very hot, but Jia Huairen's face gradually darkened.
"Uncle Qian, you have served my Jia family for decades and allowed me to open the gate of immortality. You are indeed a great favor to me. I have also paid tribute to you, and I will not be short of money for incense, candles, and paper every year from now on. "Jia Huairen said in a low voice, "Just take a good rest here."
"Humph."
Jia Huairen stood up and glanced at the direction in which the Sheriff and the others were leaving. The team had already disappeared at the end of the official road, "If it weren't for the White Tiger Demon, my Uncle Qian would not have died! In that way, a hundred poisonous blood Not bad. Now that my uncle Qian is dead, the magistrate still only gives me one hundred poisonous blood. How can one hundred poisonous blood be as good as ten hundred poisonous bloods? "
"Uncle Qian is gone, I have to be more careful in the future." Jia Huairen's pupils shrank, "I acted a little domineering before, but I will be more low-key in the future."
“Today’s cultivators in Guangling County, in terms of strength, originally the two strongest ones were Commander Fang and Master Meixia who were in the Innate Void Dan Realm. Now there are three strongest ones, and the third one is Qin. Young Master, Mr. Qin’s strength is comparable to that of the Great White Tiger Demon. Commander Fang and Master Mei Xia are not necessarily his opponents.” Jia Huairen frowned, “If I have a good relationship with him, my life will be easier in the surrounding cultivation circles. ”
"But because of Miss Yi Xiao, I made Mr. Qin hate me. Later I discovered that Miss Yi Xiao was too lazy to see me and had no chance. Therefore, it was not worth it to hate Mr. Qin."
"No matter what, we have a friendship from going to Cangya Mountain together! And Mr. Qin has a bad feeling for me, and others don't know it. As long as Mr. Qin and I have a good relationship on the surface and it spreads, there must be something wrong with it. Deterrent." Jia Huairen thought, thoughts emerging in his mind.
Although he was greedy for money, lustful and arrogant before, he knew that he had a big tree 'Uncle Qian' to rely on.
Uncle Qian’s strength was unmatched in the original Guangling County. Uncle Qian was almost invincible! Of course he has the capital to be so wanton.
But actually...
He is thirty-six years old after all! He can also knock on the door of immortality, so he is certainly not stupid.
Although Uncle Qian didn't know much about teaching, he also hired private teachers and so on. After Jia Huairen joined the Xiuxian sect, he was also influenced by other cultivators of the Xiuxian sect, and he also looked at the mortal world with a certain demeanor of a cultivator. The thinking of a cultivator... values strength more! Just like Qin Yun, he doesn't care much about wealthy families. There are only a handful of forces in Guangling County that can catch Qin Yun's eyes.
Jia Huairen is also a practitioner, so he naturally views it this way, which is why he is willing to stay in Yougao County.
In Yougao County, he is the strongest one!
******
A group of hundreds of people rushed all the way towards Guangling County. There was another carriage in the team, but there was no one in this carriage. There was a big ax tied to the carriage! The axe, which weighs 1,800 kilograms, is too heavy and is now wrapped in cloth and tied to the carriage. The tiger claws are also tied to it.
The team walks on the official road.
Qin Yun suddenly frowned and looked into the distance. A chase was taking place in the distance. Twenty or thirty people were chasing a family of four.
A couple held their children respectively and ran wildly on the field ridge.
"Stop, second brother, you can't run away!"
"Second brother, don't run away."
Twenty or thirty people were chasing and shouting. After all, the couple was holding their children, especially the wife who ran slower. The twenty or thirty men chasing him got closer and closer.
"Xiao'e." The strong man turned to look at his wife behind him.
"I can't run away." My wife was also very unwilling.
Whoosh.
Among the twenty or thirty men chasing behind, a tall and thin man suddenly sped up, jumped up, and landed in front of the family of four, saying: "Second brother, you can't run away. ”
Other men quickly surrounded the family of four.
"Brothers, please let our family go." The strong man knelt down and kowtowed, "Please, please let our family go."
The wife also knelt down with the child in her arms: "Fellow folks, please let our family go."
"Second brother." The tall and thin man gritted his teeth and said, "We also want to let you go, but if your family escapes, your children will not have to be sacrificed to monsters. But there must be other families in our village who can give up. Your own child? Sacrifice boys and girls, this is the rule set by the water god! If you violate the rules, you will be slaughtered! Thousands of people in the village, old and young, will die."
The strong man said with tears on his face: "Children are the most beloved of parents. I know it is the rule of the water god, but if you want to eat my child, it will cost the lives of my husband and wife."
"Chang Er and I can't watch our children being eaten by monsters, we can't." My wife also begged, "Let us go."
"The whole village draws lots every year, and whoever is drawn is the winner! Life or death depends on fate!" The tall and thin man shouted, "The dolls drawn every year are not just yours, second brother, this is the life of your child!" Accept it! If you don’t go to your family, you have to go to other families! If you don’t accept the lottery, how can the other people in the village accept it?”
"You are forcing me, Chang Er." The strong man gritted his teeth and stood up.
"Second brother, don't be stupid. If you don't have a child, just have another child, and your family won't have to draw lots again within ten years." The tall and thin man shouted.
The strong man handed the child to his wife, pulled out the knife from his waist, and growled: "Whoever wants to come up, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"It's still a shame."
The tall and thin man shook his head and immediately stepped forward with his sword drawn.
Clang, clang, clang!
With just three strikes, the sword of the strong man Chang Er was knocked away, and he himself was kicked by the tall and thin man and fell to the field.
"Take them all back." The tall and thin man frowned.
"Yes, captain." The other men immediately swarmed up and **** the strong man Chang Er, then grabbed the wife and took the family of four back.
"No, no--" the wife was crying.
The two children were also crying.
The tall and thin man also felt uncomfortable because of the crying. Looking at the strong man Chang Er, whose eyes were red and bloodshot, he sighed: "Second brother, don't blame me. If you want to blame, blame fate."
"What a thief!!!" Chang Er was tied up, raising his head and shouting.
……
Hundreds of people passed by on the official road in the distance.
Qin Yun looked at this scene and remained silent.
"Boys and girls." Wen Chong, who was riding a horse at the side, whispered, with the same unsightly look on his face.
"The Water God is causing trouble. I heard that he forces many villages in the territory to sacrifice boys and girls?" Yi Xiao said, "A large number of boys and girls are sacrificed every month?"
Qin Yun nodded, with a cold look in his eyes: "Without the Water God, life would be easier if the inspection departments from all over the imperial court supported the villages! But with the Water God, he can make waves in the five-hundred-mile Lanyang River and command the territory. Most of the monsters outside the city cannot defeat the water god! For more than two hundred years, the sky has been dark for the villagers in countless villages!"
"The imperial court has been trying to find a way." Wen Chonglian said, "There are also Taoist and Buddhist innate golden elixir masters who have come here, but the water **** is cunning and hides in the river when the situation is bad. He has been unable to kill him."
"More than two hundred years ago." Qin Yun shook his head and said no more.
Unlike Yi Xiao and Wen Chong who only saw records in books and files, he lived in the village before he was eight years old.
……
When it got dark, the county guard and a group of several hundred people arrived at Guangling County.
The gates of the county city were closed early, but when the county guard arrived, they naturally opened them and let hundreds of people into the city.
"It's very late now." The Lord Sheriff got off the carriage and said to Qin Yun, "Mr. Qin, let's say goodbye here. You go back to the Qin Mansion first. I will entertain you at a banquet tomorrow. And... ”
The county guard approached Qin Yun and said in a low voice, "This time I am picking spiritual fruits. Mr. Qin, I owe you a big favor. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me and I will do my best to help you."
"Okay." Qin Yun smiled.
"Miss Yi, farewell." Qin Yun looked at Yi Xiao who was standing aside.
Yi Xiao smiled and said: "I will stay in Guangling County for a while longer. Brother Qin can come to the County Sheriff's Mansion to find me when you have time."
"Okay."
The two separated.
Qin Yun was riding a horse, and behind him were two guards from the county governor's mansion who were responsible for driving the carriage and escorting the ax and tiger claws on it to the Qin mansion.
