chewing dragon

Chapter 234
In Qi Jingzhi's mind, although the relevant inside information was blocked, and the military records were also sealed in Linde Pavilion, there were heavy casualties during the northern expansion. 500 people died in the battle on the northern slope of Lengshan alone, plus the Jiuzhai outside the pass. , It can be said that the involvement is very wide, and there will always be some news circulating outside.

The old man Qi also served in the army many times to guard the border. Although he didn't get a job as an official, he accumulated some useful military connections. Over the past ten years, most of them have heard about the Beituo Battle and even the old things about Lengshan.

"No wonder Grandpa said in his letter that he was going to complete an unfinished business, and he would go home if he survived, otherwise he would be treated as dead... That unfinished business should be to find his father's bones .”

"Grandpa has a strong temperament. He neither allows his son to be buried in a foreign land and cannot return to his hometown, nor does he allow his grandson to be in danger together, so that I don't have to worry about looking for it. But if I, Qi Jingzhi, really sit back and watch, how can I be a son and a grandson?" ?”

"Fortunately, it is still the end of autumn. Even if grandpa wants to take the risk of crossing the forbidden water, he has to wait until November."

Qi Jingzhi felt a little relieved, but still felt unsure, so he asked Li Guangye: "Division Hun Tian monitors the world, and Li Lingtai is well-informed. Do you know if there are any changes in Yongchang Town and Jinshui recently?"

When Chihuo Fat Fish heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, which looked very funny with his chubby head and crowded facial features.

It thought for a moment before answering: "Since Lengshan's corpse aura ravaged the north bank of Forbidden Water, every November and December these years, it is inevitable that a little corpse aura penetrates the miasma poison and blows to Yongchang Town on the south bank with the wind, breeding Some undead monsters come out evilly, but the number is limited, and it has never caused any major disturbances."

"Because the matter has nothing to do with me, I didn't care much about it before. Now when I think about it, it seems that in the past three to five years, Yongchang Town and even Weizhou Dai County have often been used as internal documents of the Town Demon Academy. The disaster should be getting worse."

Hearing this, Master Meng quickly closed the military booklet in his hand, and interjected solemnly: "If it is true what Li Lingtai said, wouldn't it mean that the ban on water miasma poison has weakened in recent years?"

He looked at the old Chenghuang suddenly: "My lord, if the miasma poison on the forbidden water dissipates again, will the imperial court expand north again?"

Yu Zhongnan murmured for a moment, and then he chuckled: "As far as I know, there are many wild and uninhabited lands outside the territory of Daqi, and most of them are blocked by fierce mountains and rivers, miasma and poisonous insects. This is the wildness of the earth, mountains and rivers, which is really not unusual. Regarding this kind of situation, I have always had a good example..."

"The first thing is to grab a piece of land to gain a foothold, and then depending on the situation, we can gradually wipe out the local evil gods and ghosts. If necessary, we will seal the mountain lord Shuijun. Yin Division, relocate people from the country to cultivate, teach and transform the living, and turn the barbarians into summer."

"After decades of experience like this, after the local people have merged and multiplied for several generations, the principles of Shengjiang can really take root, and the demonic atmosphere of the place will naturally dissipate, turning it into a royal paradise with beautiful mountains and rivers."

He paused for a moment, and then added: "My Great Qi can have the vast territory it has today, thanks to the hard work of pioneering in the past 2000 years. This is the will of the Holy King and Jiang Qi's national policy."

The old city god's implication is that as long as it is possible, the imperial court will definitely send troops to Beituo again, and it may not even wait for the forbidden water miasma to dissipate completely, as long as it can barely send the soldiers over and snatch the forbidden water pass Just as a place to stand.

In fact, Qi Jingzhi was even more convinced of this point than Yu Zhongnan, after all, he had seen the sky patrol ship of Biluo Palace.

The sages of the Jiang family are high above the sky, sitting and watching the descendants of the sage Jiang Wuzhou to open up the wilderness and evolve the holy way. Isn't it obvious what kind of clan they will favor?
For Jiang Qi to be as prosperous as he is today, there is absolutely no shortage of sensible people.

When Master Mencius got the answer, his face became ponderous: "My great general is like a cloud, with countless powerful soldiers. As long as the court is fully prepared, the dragon corpse in Lengshan is certainly vicious, but it is no more than a dry bone in the mountain. It can be pacified overnight, but those The younger generation of Songling who was buried in the ice and snow of the Lengshan Mountain may not be remembered by many people."

"Meng didn't remember it before, but now he remembers it!"

Master Meng raised the military book in his hand, and his five fingers turned bloody from too much force: "Meng Hui was born in Songling and was older than Songling. There are 290 children of Songling in this military book, and there are many of my relatives and friends in it." It’s old. Just now I saw their names, and those voices and smiles that I hadn’t remembered for a long time suddenly became vivid, it’s unbearable to think about!”

"It's fine if I don't know about it. Now that I know it, if I just sit idly by and let the grandparents of the Qi family run around with all their strength, what will it be like to steal the position of ghosts and gods in the Songling Yin Division after death?"

Master Meng didn't even ask Qi Jingzhi's next plan, because he knew the boy's temperament and knew that he was bound to go to Lengshan.

Hearing this, Yu Zhongnan's expression became serious, and the law lines on his face became more and more profound: "Nearly three hundred Songling disciples...Although I have never read the military records, I have heard you talking for a long time, so what is there now? Don't understand?"

"Meng Hui, although you are not dead yet, you are already half a ghost. The Great Qi Yin Division has its own laws and regulations. The most important two are that you can't interfere in human affairs, and you can't leave your post without authorization. You have to think about it." Clear!"

Master Meng nodded resolutely when he heard the words: "The lower officials are valued by the elders, are you a person who disregards the law? I have always regarded myself as a man in my life, enlightening the young children in the county, and teaching them loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness..."

"Seeing righteousness and not doing it is injustice. To do it is to violate the regulations of the underworld, which is infidelity. Since ancient times, how has there ever been an unfaithful man in this world?"

"Since that's the case, Meng will give up the ghosts and gods' future!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

For the nearly three hundred fellow villagers who have passed away for more than ten years, even if there are a few relatives and friends among them, they have to give up the position of ghosts and gods and the blessings of life and death, but not everyone can make such a determination.

Qi Jingzhi was about to say something, but Master Meng stopped him with a wave of his hand.

I saw this master of the yang world and the god of the underworld smiled indifferently: "If my master can't be sincere and upright, wouldn't it be a big joke to name you in the first place?"

"Now that you are capable, and you have Gu Chenyuan as your backer, no matter how far you can go in this matter, after all, you are you and I am me. Since Meng has this ambition in his heart, then You can't deceive your heart, especially if I have an exquisite heart in my chest, it will be even more deceitful."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi suddenly remembered that when the city god faced the night trial, Master Meng wanted to cover his face with a ghost face, so as not to meet the dead souls of his acquaintances and cause twists and turns for no reason, but he was reprimanded by the old city god because the ghost face can deceive people , but you can't deceive your heart.

Yu Zhongnan obviously thought of this episode, and his expression softened a bit.

He was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "If you really want to contribute to this matter, you may not necessarily have to give up your future in the underworld. Although the way to achieve both is hard to find, there is still something after all... Then since there are many dead bodies in Yongchang Town The disaster of demons, of course, cannot do without the spirits of violent death and obsessed ghosts, the local underworld must be short of manpower."

"Furthermore, the first time in the past when the northern expansion was done hastily, I am afraid that the forbidden water pass has not had time to seal the city god. If the forbidden water is reopened, it may not be an opportunity. This kind of opportunity is certainly dangerous, but when it comes to the future, after all, it is strong. After a small county chief..."

Yu Zhongnan paused for a moment, with helplessness and regret in his smile, but also gratification: "You and I have forgotten the years and enjoyed each other so much, how can the old man bear that you give up all your previous efforts? Since you should write a letter to the City God's Yin Division, Let's see if I can move you somewhere."

"If you can be transferred there as you wish, you actually don't need to interfere in the human world. To put it bluntly, the nearly three hundred Songling disciples all died suddenly, and they waited for the desperate place on the snowy slope of the mountain, beside the dragon corpse. For more than ten years, there must be some obsessions and nostalgia among them. It is also a great merit for you to perform your duty and help them re-enter reincarnation, so it shouldn't be considered deceitful, right?"

"Well, it will take some time for the paperwork to be exchanged, but you are still in the sun after all, and it is really hard to try cases all night. Taking a few days off to cultivate your body and mind is not considered an AWOL..."

After being startled for a moment, Master Meng came to his senses, bowed to the ground, and thanked him with a big salute: "Thank you, my lord, for your fulfillment!"

"Oh! Uncle Xianyou really wakes up the dreamer with just a few words!"

Chi Huo Fat Yu suddenly opened his mouth to praise, but for some reason, his tone was a bit yin and yang.

It flew in front of Qi Jingzhi, with twinkling eyes, as if it had seen some treasure: "Brother, Gouchenyuan must have been created with a shortage of people? Gouchenyuan is the lord's army of destroying demons. At the critical juncture of Liwei's meritorious service, if the imperial court expands north again, Gouchen Yuan will definitely send people to Jinshuiguan and Lengshan, right?"

Qi Jingzhi raised his brows when he heard the words: "It's not like I, a little battalion captain, know. Li Lingtai may as well speak up if he has anything to say."

Chihuo Fatyu's smile was almost flattering: "Meeting is fate! Great Sima Shenlong sees the head but never ends, the younger brother wants to ask the elder brother to introduce me and introduce me as an errand in the Gouchen Court. If the younger brother can achieve something in the future, he will never forget it." Brother's kindness!"

Qi Jingzhi's brows suddenly became tighter: "How did I hear that the officials of the Huntian Division are all descendants of the descendants, and they are not allowed to be transferred to other officials unless they have a special order from the sovereign?"

"Huh? I didn't expect Shixiong to understand me, Hun Tiansi, so clearly!" Chihuo Fatyu was obviously surprised.

Naturally, it didn't know that Yu Zhongnan had just explained the situation of Hun Tiansi a moment ago, and Qi Jingzhi was just learning and selling now.

"I'd like to teach my brother to know that now, my disciples of the Li family just have a chance to break free from the Secretary of the Earth!"

When Li Guangye mentioned the four words "bright and upright", his tone was extraordinarily heavy, with the meaning of gnashing his teeth, and his resentment was beyond words: "Ji's surname Li was enshrined in the Huntian Division by Jiang Qi for 2000 years. It’s so expensive, it’s actually hard to move even if you want to.”

"However, the people in power in the clan still think that they don't have enough shackles, and now they want to force the clansmen to choose between the Jiang clan and the Ji clan!"
