Volume 4 Emerging Chapter 408 Zhonggu County
"You...... Body with spiritual root?" Zhou Ba's eyes were bloodshot and red, and his body trembled, squeezing out a few words from between his teeth.
"That's right, and this master once said that the little girl not only has a spiritual root, but also the qualifications of the spiritual root are superior, so I think I can enter the branch altar of Renjia Zhonggu County. Wei Ting tried her best to keep herself calm and spoke slowly.
Zhou Ba's face, which was already distorted by severe pain, suddenly heard this, and his cheek muscles twitched again, and his complexion was already difficult to see.
With the support of the people beside him, Zhou Ba reluctantly got up, his eyes swept over Wei Ting, and finally fell to Du Fan, and said bitterly: "Zhou has eyes today and doesn't know Mount Tai, he offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and he broke off his arm, it's pure retribution, don't dare to complain, thank you for your mercy!"
"Miss Wei is kind, she has no intention of receiving tribute from Tiexin Village, and Du has no interest in being a villain in vain, so you can do it yourself, and set off!" This time, Du Fan's words were still calm, but there was an undoubted taste.
"Yes. Feng Cheng agreed, glanced at the more than ten carriages in the team of Tiexin Village with some regret, and immediately sighed, beckoned Wei Ting to return to the team, and then led everyone in Sunset Village to continue on the road.
The cadres of Tiexin Village did not need to be ordered, so they consciously separated a road in trembling and let everyone in Sunset Village pass.
"Wei Ting, this girl, has such scheming and courage at a young age, it is not simple, if she can be lucky enough to become a disciple of the Ren family, she will definitely do something in the future, at least let Sunset Village rise from now on. ”
Du Fan glanced at Wei Ting's slender back, his eyes flickering. I can't help but sigh a little. Even he vaguely saw decades later. The tragic end of Iron Heart Village, then he shook his head, his mind sank, and continued to cultivate the Void Slash.
During this period, Zhou Ba's expression always maintained awe and trepidation, and it was not until the figures of the people in Sunset Village completely disappeared that his face gradually became gloomy, and he said to himself: "I want to become a disciple of the Ren family." Dreaming!"
Not long after, the Tiexin Village Brigade also escorted a large number of tributes in a tense atmosphere and embarked on the journey.
......
Two days later, Du Fan and the people of Sunset Village came to the main city of Zhonggu County.
The city is not small, it is equivalent to a medium-sized city, and its streets are wide, the cars and horses are endless, and there are all kinds of shops. Monks and mortals came in and out, in an endless stream. The city is a prosperous scene.
"Du Daoyou, we are going to the county government of Zhonggu County to deliver tribute, I don't know what your plans are next?" Feng Cheng came to Du Fan, arched his hand at him, and said tentatively.
"I'm not in a hurry, I'll go with you, and if you encounter trouble along the way, I can also solve it for you by the way. Du Fan seemed to have thought about this matter a long time ago, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled and spoke.
"Great, thank you Du Daoyou!" As soon as they heard the other party's words, Feng Cheng and the people in Sunset Village immediately showed great joy.
Du Fan waved his hand, signaling that everyone did not have to be polite.
Of course, he didn't really do this to escort the people of Sunset Village, but he had his own considerations.
Now that he lived in a foreign land, it was a trivial matter that he was not familiar with the place, and most importantly, he had a strong sense of strangeness here, and this feeling made him uneasy, and the reason why he had such strange emotions was mainly because of the division of power in this place.
For Du Fan, whether in his previous life or in this life, he lived in the mechanism of the state, although the country on the Kyushu continent was special because of the relationship between the cultivation realm, but in general, this was still a country.
There is no country in the Disha Islands, but in fact, any island in the Disha Islands can be called a big country, in essence, the power of the island owner is actually equivalent to the court of the country, and the island owner is the emperor.
But Du Fan's place at this time is extremely weird, if you have to treat this place as a country, then the Ren family is undoubtedly the court, that is, the royal family.
It's just that in Du Fan's opinion, the power and power of the Ren family are too great, and they even exceed the authority of the emperor.
If it is in a normal country, although the emperor can do whatever he wants, it will at least cause the dissatisfaction of his subjects, and if he is a faint monarch and does too much, there will be anti-court forces in the country and various uprisings.
The same is true of the owner of the Earth Shatter Islands, he must take into account the impact on all forces when he does anything that is beneficial to himself, and even use the technique of combining vertical and horizontal, otherwise there will be dissatisfaction and backlash from other forces, causing immeasurable consequences.
But this so-called Ren family doesn't seem to need to think about these anymore.
Du Fan has a feeling that if the Ren family wants to kill a person, destroy a force, and take all the property of a village and a county, it is completely a matter of one sentence, and it will not have any negative impact, everyone will feel that it is right, it is justified, no one will say a word, and they will not even feel dissatisfied in their hearts.
If they have to complain, they will not complain about the Ren family, but complain about the injustice of heaven and earth and the ill-fated fate......
This completely transcends the boundaries of imperial power, as if it has reached the height of divine power, in essence, the Ren family is not a country at all, but a religion that integrates politics, religion, military, and cultivation!
What's even more terrifying is that within the Ren family's sphere of influence, from ordinary mortals to cultivators, from Qi refining period cultivators to foundation building powerhouses, and perhaps there are higher existences, all the people here, no one is left behind, they are all Ren family disciples!
Du Fan clearly remembered that he had inadvertently said something that was slightly disrespectful to the Ren family, but because of this sentence, Wei Chenghuan, a second-layer monk in the Qi refining period, dared to sink his face towards him.
Although Wei Chenghuan tried his best to suppress it, and finally did not say anything too excessive, Du Fan understood that at least at that moment, Wei Chenghuan was very dissatisfied with him, and even looked at him with a touch of weirdness, as if he was looking at a heretic.
At that time, Du Fan had a creepy feeling, and in the following days, he had been deliberately observing, and finally determined a fact: in this strange land, the Ren family is the sky, the gods, inviolable, supreme!
It is precisely for this reason that Du Fan needs an identity, and then uses this identity to get to know the world well, or to understand the Ren family, so as not to commit any taboos and cause death to himself.
And the villagers of Sunset Village are undoubtedly a good identity.
......
Zhonggu County is located in the most central position of the main city, and after more than half an hour, a group of people from Sunset Village arrived there.
As soon as everyone in Sunset Village walked to the gate of the county government, a middle-aged man walked over.
"Brother Feng, you came to Zhonggu County this time to pay the tribute of Sunset Village. The middle-aged man glanced at everyone in Sunset Village, and finally his eyes fell on Feng Cheng, and after being slightly stunned, he immediately greeted with a smile.
"It turned out to be Steward Jiang, it's great to meet you here, that's right, our trip is to pay the tribute of Sunset Village. After Feng Cheng saw the person who came clearly, he immediately showed joy on his face and hurriedly stepped forward to reply.
"What is Jiang in charge, Brother Feng is too foreign, I used to be from Sunset Village, if it wasn't for Brother Feng who came to the rescue, I wouldn't be where I am today, and you and I will still be brothers in the future." The middle-aged man waved his hand, looking like he was in love with Feng.
"Alright, Brother Jiang, you can lead us to Nagong. Feng Cheng said with a smile.
"Haha, what else are you leading, I'm in charge of handing over the tribute now, and the final price of the tribute is not a matter of my words. The middle-aged man surnamed Jiang laughed, looking quite proud.
"Could it be...... Brother Jiang has become the chief manager of the county treasury?" Feng Cheng was surprised and delighted.
"Brother Feng guessed right, but not long after this incident happened, I didn't have time to send the news back.
Although my current position is not very high, but the power is very great, with me, the future days of Sunset Village will be better and better. The middle-aged surnamed Jiang was in a good mood, with a constant smile on his face.
"Haha, congratulations to Brother Jiang, only if Brother Jiang is here, the rise of my Sunset Village is hopeful!" Feng Cheng laughed, and the rest of the Sunset Village was also overjoyed when they heard this.
Then Feng Cheng invited Du Fan out again, got to know each other, and finally mentioned that Wei Ting was very likely to have a spiritual root, and also had to participate in the spiritual examination ceremony of the Zhonggu County branch altar, and the middle-aged surnamed Jiang was even more overjoyed, and the scene was full of laughter.
In the eyes of these people, the prosperity of Sunset Village is just around the corner.
"If there is anything to talk about later, let's hand over the tribute first, and Brother Feng will come to the treasury with me. After a while, the middle-aged man surnamed Jiang smiled slightly and said suddenly.
"Okay!" Naturally, everyone had no opinion and followed one after another.
......
At the same time, in a spacious and bright hall, two monks stood up and down.
The person below is an ugly man of about thirty years old, with pointed ears and monkey cheeks, and a hint of flattery on his face.
It was nothing, but it was strange that the ugly man's robe on the right side was swaying in the wind, fluttering lightly, and there was obviously nothing in it, and he had broken off an arm.
This person is the Zhou Ba of Tiexin Village, and the arm he broke was cut off by Du Fan not long ago when he used the Water Blade Technique, and with his Qi refining period cultivation, he obviously does not have the ability to continue to grow flesh and bones, that is to say, he will be disabled for life.
The person at the top was a round-faced man, his cultivation was not low, and he had already reached the fifth level of the Qi Refining Period, at this time, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was playing with a strange stone in his hand, revealing a look of satisfaction.
Zhou Ba has been observing the words and expressions on the side, and when he saw that the other party was in a good mood at the moment, he immediately perked up, and a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he said carefully: "Deputy Altar Master Wu, you see the incident in Sunset Village...... Can you deal with it a little bit?" (To be continued......)
