Hanging up and cultivating immortality in the troubled times

Chapter 24 In troubled times, you can’t help yourself
"Yes, Immortal." Ghost Soldier Chen Jing prostrated on the ground, lowered his head and said in an extremely respectful tone, "The matter started 12 years ago..."

Chen Jing 12 years ago was basically the same as Pei Zhiqing described. He was full of passion and planned to travel around the world to help the poor, punish rape and eradicate evil, and wanted to bring peace to the poor in this troubled world.

This is his lifelong pursuit and the greatest ideal in this life.

He gave up a lot for this.

But all this was shattered at the Shangzhou martial arts gathering 12 years ago.

His pursuit, his ideal, and even his dignity were all trampled under the feet of one person, trampled on without restraint.

This person was Wang Yan, who was born in the Wang family of Jinzhou for a thousand years, and was the governor of Shangzhou who recommended Chen Jing to the court.

Originally, Chen Jing and Wang Yan were close friends and had a very good relationship.

But things changed after Chen Jing rejected Wang Yan's recommendation. Under Wang Yan's deliberate avoidance and alienation, the relationship between the two took a turn for the worse, and they became strangers in just two or three years.

It had been two and a half years since the last time the two of them met at that Shangzhou martial arts gathering.

After the party, Wang Yan took the initiative to invite Chen Jing to a banquet and drinks.

This made Chen Jing think that it was an old friend who came to ease the relationship with him, so he happily went there, but unexpectedly it was a Hongmen Banquet.

What was on the banquet was not wine and delicacies, but more than 30 bloody heads!
They are all people who Chen Jing helped during his travels in the world.

Some of them had their fields seized by landlords, some were defrauded of their property by merchants, and some had their wives and daughters raped and humiliated by playboys...

They were all poor people, and it was with the help of Chen Jing that they were able to take revenge and regain hope of living.

But now, all of them had their heads chopped off and placed in front of Chen Jing.

The reason is simple.

Because the landlord who usurped their land was a branch of the Jinzhou Wang family, the merchant who defrauded them of their property was a domestic slave of the eldest brother of the Jinzhou Wang family, and the person who raped their wives and daughters was Wang Yan's distant nephew...

One by one, one by one, they are all related to the Jinzhou Wang family.

So, Wang Yan ordered everyone related to this to be killed!
And at this banquet, he used the heads of these people to warn Chen Jing that he would not be allowed to do anything so-called helping the poor, punishing rape and eradicating evil.

Not even if it has nothing to do with the Jinzhou Wang family.

Finally, Wang Yan also lamented the past that the two had been friends for many years, and at the same time said that he would not kill him because he missed their old relationship.

I hope he can understand the current situation in the future and stop acting recklessly.

Chen Jing was deeply ashamed of this and disappeared from the world since then, secretly vowing to avenge his shame in the future.

He originally planned to remain anonymous and low-key to accumulate strength, and wait until one day to become a blockbuster.

But then, his relatives and friends were killed one after another. After tracing, it was found that they were all related to the Jinzhou Wang family.

This made Chen Jing almost collapse and vowed to eradicate the Wang family in Jinzhou.

However, as time passed, he became more and more desperate.

He found that it was impossible to seek revenge with his own strength alone.

Wang Yan is too strong, and the Jinzhou Wang family is too strong.

As a family that has been inherited for more than 2000 years, his heritage, his connections, and his power are no longer something that anyone can compete with on their own.

Even though Chen Jing later had an adventure and discovered a witchcraft stone chamber underground in Heyang County, and obtained part of the witchcraft secrets from it, and successfully broke through to the eighth level of ascending to heaven, but compared to Wang Yan and even the entire For the Jinzhou Wang family, they are still as small as ants.

You must become stronger and you must have your own team of forces!
Driven by long-term suppressed inner feelings and anger, Chen Jing began to covet the treasures left by the great master of the witchcraft religion in Heyang County.

As long as he can obtain those relics, he will have the opportunity to embark on the tenth level of ascending to heaven and become a grand master who can refine the "true meaning".

There is also an opportunity to secretly cultivate your own powerful team.

However, the opening method of sacrificing 1 people made it difficult for him to make a decision.

In the end he chose to compromise.

First, capture a group of people to sacrifice outside the left stone chamber and test whether the method of opening the witchcraft relic is correct.

After confirming that this method is indeed feasible, find someone with similar desires and tell them the true existence and method of opening the treasure left by the great master of the witchcraft religion.

Let others do it.

Chen Jing selected two people.

One is Feng Xiang, the seventh-level master of the Centipede Division of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect who wants to become stronger!

There is also the magistrate of Heyang County, Fang Qian, who comes from a local wealthy family and is eager to make progress!
Although neither of them knew that the other wanted to open the witchcraft relic, they complemented each other in order to take advantage of the other.

The former gradually increased the population of Heyang County to facilitate future sacrifices.

The latter did something that could anger the military governor of Zhaoyang and possibly lead to a massacre of the city.

Chen Jing, on the other hand, just needs to hide in the dark and pick peaches.

When he gets the witchcraft relic, he can channel the emotions of being massacred and gather a group of people who are resentful of today's world and want to kill all the people in the world, kill all the princes in the court, change the world, and rebuild the world.

This will be the foundation of his future team.

Of course, for the time being, he can only hide in the dark and grow stronger silently. At least he has to wait until he breaks through to the No. 11 level before he can really take any action.After all, today's Wang Yan is no longer the ninth-level martial arts and fourth-level Shangzhou governor.

Instead, he was Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, Minister of the Ministry of War, Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Shangzhuguo and Chengyuan County Founder.

Commonly known as the prime minister.

His martial arts has also reached the No. 11 level of ascending to heaven, which is the best in the world.

He is also the contemporary head of the Jinzhou Wang family.

In the court alone, Wang had more than 20 senior officials of fifth rank and above, and seven or eight served as governors of local states.

Normally, no one can touch a big shot like Wang Yan unless Da Qi is destroyed or the land gods take action.

Therefore, according to Chen Jing's plan, when he becomes stronger, he will not directly go to Wang Yan.

At the beginning, we first defeated the Zhaoyang army, captured Shangzhou and Yinzhou, gave the Wang family some eye drops, and at the same time separated one side.

Because Wang Tong, the current military governor of Zhaoyang and governor of Yinzhou, is Wang Yan's nephew.

If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Jing is confident that he can do this within five years.

At the same time hide yourself well.

However, the accident still happened.

The appearance of Lu Heng completely shattered all his plans and even cost him his life.

The complicated life of the former "Flying Eagle Hero" Chen Jing suddenly came to an end.

"..." After listening to Chen Jing's story, Lu Heng looked a little complicated, a little sad and a little sighing.

In the early days, Chen Jing was a typical idealist, full of love for everything, trying to get this troubled world back on track little by little with his own strength.

It can be said that he overestimates his capabilities, or that his blood is not cold yet.

Then he was severely beaten by reality, and finally embarked on a path that can be called a devil.

Is it just because he is not strong-willed enough?

I'm afraid not.

"These are troubled times, and you can't help yourself." Lu Heng sighed, looking at the ghost soldier Chen Jing whose eyes were gradually dimming and his consciousness began to fade, "You deserve it."

No matter what, Chen Jing was the culprit who may have caused the massacre in Heyang County.

Damn!

At the same time, Chen Jing's experience also made Lu Heng more deeply aware of the importance of strength in this troubled world.

If Chen Jing at that time had been a land immortal who had crossed the twelve levels of ascending to heaven, the result might have been different.

"We still need to reach the second or even third level of Qi Refining as soon as possible to increase our strength."

Lu Heng thought to himself, "Fortunately, after killing Chen Jing, I have completed the requirements of the White Tiger's Secret of Killing to break through the second level of Qi Refining, and my mana has also increased significantly.

"Now we are not far from being able to officially break through, but we still need to increase our mana."

At this moment, Pei Zhiqing hurried over, looking anxious and holding a letter in his hand.

"Senior, something bad has happened." She handed a letter to Lu Heng and said in a panic, "For some unknown purpose, Fang Qian actually sold all the grain reserves in Changpingcang to Kangzhou. , not even a grain of rice was left!”

The government's Changpingcang's grain reserves played a role in balancing prices.

Previously, when Fang Qian and Zheng Han sold grain to Kangzhou, they only sold the grain transported to Heyang County and did not use Changping warehouse to reserve grain.

In order to avoid being discovered too early and disrupting the original plan, Fang Qian even took the initiative to leave some food so that the people in the county could have a small meal every now and then.

Now that the grain reserves have been emptied, the wealthy families and merchants in the city will soon react, which will inevitably further drive up the price of grain, leading to the loss of a large number of ordinary people.

Unless the stored grain can be replenished, at least half, in just a few days, it is possible to avoid future tragedies.

But this is almost impossible. Who can conjure hundreds of thousands of stones of grain out of thin air?

That's why Pei Zhiqing was so flustered.

She could already predict how many people would suffer next.

Lu Heng took the letter and read it, and immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. He nodded gently and said, "Let's see who dares to drive up food prices."

One word.

kill!

I'm worried that I haven't accumulated enough mana to break through the second level of Qi Refining.

"As for the grain reserves in Changpingcang, it's not difficult. Anyone who raises the price will be killed and confiscated.

"If it's not enough in the end, I have another way."
