Chapter 60 The Rise and Fall of Dynasties
Cheng Shi's mother sat chatting with a few stout women on the benches by the dining hall, and looked anxiously at the road at the east end of the village from time to time, looking forward to the return of her husband who had gone hunting in the mountains.

It's almost time for dinner, and everyone is waiting for the meat to come to the pot.

Since Niujia Village began to practice martial arts for the whole village, the temple master stopped letting each family start a fire alone. Everyone took turns to help in the canteen.

Soon each family also discovered the benefits of doing this. It was really great for everyone to sit and eat together, not to mention the excitement, but also to listen to several disciples of the temple master explaining the exercises in turn.

Not taking advantage of the view, they moved their own rice grains to the dining hall one after another.

The farmers are grateful for Chen Jingyun's kindness in their hearts, and they all say that such a good thing is probably only found in our Niujia Village in the whole world, and only Nie Wanniang and others know that this is the compensation that their master felt uneasy after deceiving the villagers. .

After practicing Guanli's exercises for a while, everyone felt that their strength had increased and their bodies had become lighter, but their appetites had also increased, and everyone became greedy. All I think about is eating meat.

It’s okay to eat meat, but the pork, beef, and mutton that I bought always feel a bit bland after entering the mouth. There is no food from hunting in the mountains, so some people are sent to the mountains to hunt every day. No, today It was Cheng Shi's father who led people into the mountain.

After a while, the hunting men and horses came back, but they all had sad faces. They left some hares and pheasants in a pile, and began to squat on the ground and sigh.

There is no prey, everyone is now traversing mountains and ridges like walking on flat ground, and they have searched through hundreds of miles of mountains and forests in one day to get this much.

Also, the wild animals in the mountains are not endless, if they continue to hunt like this, they may become extinct.

At the moment when the farmers were worrying, they heard two muffled sounds of "bang, bang!" The villagers heard the sound and saw that it was two huge rhinoceros weighing no more than two to three thousand catties that had been thrown on the open ground, and there was a cyan streak in the smoke. The figure gradually faded away, and a sentence came from everyone's ears: "From now on, there will be meat to eat every day, and all of them will open their mouths. Those who eat less are cowards!"

The farmers cheered and started to get busy. The pheasants and hares were ignored, and they all stared at the rhinoceros like a mountain of meat.

Chen Jingyun proudly hummed a ditty while walking on the mossy stone path, and he was greatly benefited by the compliments from the villagers down the mountain. That's right, I had to travel tens of thousands of miles to find meat for them!

Back in the temple, I saw Peng Qiu, who had not returned for many days, was there with a red face, so I stared at Peng Qiu with a stern face, until Peng Qiu's calf trembled, and then changed into a smiling face, Jokingly said: "Deacon Peng is really rare these days! How are you getting along with Sister Xue?"

When Peng Qiu heard this, he immediately nodded and smiled apologetically, his bookish and heroic spirit was all thrown out of the blue.

At this time, in the Xianyun Temple, because several disciples were practicing behind closed doors, it was rare to be clean, so Peng Qiu accompanied the temple master to wander around.

Peng Qiu came back this time to report what the temple master asked him to inquire about a few days ago. The master and servant chatted as they walked.

But it is said that the dynasty in Tiannan has gone through dynasties and is now being ruled by the Ji family.The Ji family is a long-standing family that has lasted for thousands of years, and there are countless famous officials and veterans.

At that time, the generation of the Ji family, Jie Jifan, felt how difficult the people's livelihood was, so he raised his troops to rebel. ,love him.

It's a pity that the sky is jealous of Yingjie, and Ji Fanqing finally died of exhaustion on the throne because of working day and night on state affairs, a generation of heroes forty days.

Hearing that the Holy Emperor came to heaven, all the people in Tiannan fell to the ground and howled, and the whole country fell silent for three years.

All the major clans and aristocratic families in the world are touched by Ji Fanqing's benevolence. The heads of each family made a blood oath before the imperial mausoleum. Hit it together!

It's a pity that there are many mediocre descendants among Ji Fanqing's descendants, and the ups and downs are not difficult to predict.
Today's Tiannan Emperor, Ji An, is a foolish son of heaven. He spends his days doing nothing but going to the inner palace to drink and have fun, ignoring the government affairs at all.

The three grown-up princes woo the ministers and form their own forces, eyeing the throne covetously, so why do they care about the hardships of the common people?

On the contrary, there is a minor seventh prince, Ji Huan, who is intelligent and benevolent, and is also loved by the emperor. The Seventh Prince has been weak since he was a child, and he may not live to be an adult.

The royal family is ignorant, treacherous ministers are naturally in power, the Tiannan royal court is extravagant and decadent from top to bottom, military expenditures and national funds can be diverted for pleasure, so the military affairs will naturally decline.

As a last resort, the old generals could only deploy their elite troops in the key areas of Gyeonggi and a few wealthy state capitals, and had no spare power to suppress the warriors elsewhere. small forces.

Because of the death protection of several major clans and aristocratic families in the world, the major martial arts forces dare not make mistakes easily, but are happy to be happy on their own one-acre three-point land.

After listening to Peng Qiu's narration, Chen Jingyun became interested in the Ji family. The ancestors blessed all the people and were willing to die for the common people, but the descendants enjoyed the blessings of their ancestors with peace of mind, regardless of whether the people lived or died. Chen Guanzhu couldn't help feeling awkward, and sighed for Ji Fanqing.

After chatting for a few more words, Chen Jingyun took out a pill bottle in the storage bag and handed it to Peng Qiu, and told him to go to the rivers and lakes to release the news, saying that the master of Xianyunguan came back from his travels and was very happy to hear about the martial arts conference, so he practiced it himself. Made ten pills that can improve the skill, as the prize for the top ten in the competition.

Peng Qiu took the alchemy bottle with a look of surprise, and said in his heart: "I don't know when our temple master learned alchemy again? He is so generous! It's just that why didn't he distribute such good things to his disciples and himself first? After all, the temple master has never been stingy with his own people."

Chen Jingyun saw what Peng Qiu was thinking, took another bottle out of the storage bag and threw it to Peng Qiu, humming: "Eat enough! There are so many of these things, if you want to stop in this life You can take it at rank six, and your cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds!" Then he turned and went to the back mountain.

Peng Qiu was startled when he heard the words, there was a temple master with pearls and jade in front of him, who in Xianyun temple was not ambitious and wanted to climb to a high place, listen to the meaning of the temple master, although this thing is good, but the disadvantage is not his own If he could bear it, he cursed a few words in his heart that the viewer had a bad belly, and put the two bottles into the storage bag.
