Qi Jingzhi's heart trembled, and he realized that what Liu Muzhi said next should be the key.
Whether it was the Holy King’s decree or the Great Qi ancestral system, it might have some effect, but it was definitely not the real reason why those high-profile sects were willing to transfer part of their opportunities and power to Mudlegs. This was because they always firmly held the most precious This can be seen from the practice method.
Just listen to Liu Muzhi continue to say: "The place where we are standing is the old land of Dongyi. It was once occupied by the wild evil gods and Dongyi barbarians! It is the same in the whole Daqi, and even far beyond Daqi. Beyond Daqi, beyond those barren mountains, bad waters, smoke In the Miasma Jedi Land, there are still many Xia tribes and saintly feudal kingdoms working hard to develop it!"
"We, Da Qi, have been in the country for more than two thousand years. The nine generations of ancestors have made clear roads and opened up the mountains and forests, and wiped out many powerful enemies entrenched here. Until now, we have only managed to gain a firm foothold."
Hearing this, even though Qi Jingzhi had a calm temperament, he couldn't help but be moved.
Although there are only a few words mentioned by the other party, they are very different from what he learned when he was a child.
The so-called hometown of Dongyi, wild evil gods, and even other tribes and feudal states were all unheard of by Qi Jingzhi. On the contrary, there were some specious traces in the childhood stories that Grandpa told.
Liu Muzhi saw the young man's surprise and smiled: "I don't know why the imperial court and Gao surname do not allow these ancient histories and surrounding geography to be circulated among the people. Even ordinary officials of lower origin and rank are not allowed to consult relevant classics. But you I am a cultivator and I have a national surname, so it is not a taboo for me to reveal a few details to you."
Seeing the young man who was still looking puzzled and nodding blankly, the young master chuckled and continued: "Understanding this premise, you know that if you look at the world, Daqi is only a corner, and the Xia people are not without enemies."
"Not to mention the remnants of all kinds of evil gods and the remnants of Dongyi, even the land under our feet is still wild and untamed. Otherwise, there would not be so many demons and monsters, and those river dragons would not be so domineering and unruly. !”
"Huh? So the root is actually here?" Qi Jingzhi's heart moved, and he immediately remembered Jiao Yulang's comments about the three gods of Da Qi.
"The little boy said that the title of Water God is the most expensive because there are many Water Gods who have cultivated themselves and are naturally powerful. They are not very interested in the title of God conferred by the king. And according to Liu Muzhi, the root is the area where Daqi is located. The land, mountains and rivers are wild and untamed, and it is easy to breed monsters. Among them, the aquatic tribe, especially the dragon species, benefit greatly."
"One of the two people's statements is superficial and the other is internal, but they are very consistent and can corroborate each other. From this point of view, the king of the country openly and secretly supported the city god to encroach on the mountain god's territory. In fact, it was also out of considerations of suppressing the mountain spirit's enlightenment and taming the wild nature of the mountain. ? Once the mountain gods are completely eliminated, it will probably be the turn of the unruly and noble gods of the Water Mansion..."
"This is indeed a way to get rid of the firewood. In the long run, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It only hurts the innocent people who have no protection from the mountain gods and are brutally tortured by demons! If it weren't for a coincidence, it would be impossible for me and my grandfather to be among those poor people!"
"Also, the Jiao family from Chaozhou, where Xiaowazi was born, was obviously well aware of the situation that the Mountain God lineage was being suppressed and was gradually declining, but he still did not hesitate to be friends with Jiang Junshui Mansion, and was not afraid of suffering if the situation changed. Liquidated? Are you reluctant to part with this prominent and cheap relative, or do you have other plans and reliance? "
Qi Jingzhi has had this problem since he was a child. He always likes to think deeply when seeing people and problems. His thoughts are endless and the expression on his face is a bit complicated.
Liu Muzhi was a little strange when he saw it: "What are brothers Qi thinking?"
Qi Jingzhi suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "I just find it unbelievable. I have also seen many ghosts and monsters, all of which are dead spirits turning into evil spirits or wild beasts turning into spirits. The most bizarre thing is just that dead things give birth to supernatural beings. I never thought that There will also be something wild about the ground beneath your feet.”
Liu Muzhi suddenly understood and smiled knowingly: "It's really unbelievable. Anyway, ever since I heard about this when I was a child, I never dared to pee anywhere again."
Seeing the uncontrollable look of astonishment on the young man's face, Liu Muzhi suddenly laughed loudly: "Brother Qi, don't worry too much. The mountains and rivers in Da Qi and even the entire Dongyi hometown are wild and untamed. I'm afraid this sentence has been spread for a long time." Two thousand years!"
"Brother Yu, I heard what the elders in the family said. The elders also heard what the ancestors said. They are just parrots. Who can tell whether it is true or false?"
Qi Jingzhi nodded, this is the heritage of the aristocratic family. What the children have seen and heard since they were young has far surpassed that of a poor family.
After all, Liu Muzhi was a young man. Perhaps he always put on airs in the captain's office and was too suppressed. At this time, he was obviously very interested in talking.
He said eloquently: "As long as you broaden your horizons, you will find that no matter whether you are a high-ranking family or a poor commoner, we are all descendants of Xia Miao whose blood is thicker than water. Until internal and external troubles are eliminated, we must not be separated from above and below. Brothers are jealous. When the nest is overturned, the eggs are not finished!"
"In the eyes of the imperial court, if a spiritual person like me is willing to go to counties and counties to benefit the people, no matter what his true intentions are, he will only be happy to see the results and will never be suspicious or jealous. If everything goes smoothly under my rule, the demons will disappear, and talents will emerge in large numbers , it is the great fortune of the Qi Dynasty and the blessing of the people."
"If I delay my practice because I worry about civil affairs, I don't need to worry about my family. The court will remind me and compensate me. Not to mention the benefits during my lifetime, a god after death cannot escape."
"It's just that this kind of ghost and god status, which is mostly based on imperial seals, is useless. Not only will the path in the future be extremely difficult, but it will also be almost impossible to change the path. If unfortunately, you are contaminated with too much karmic evil and fall deeper into the netherworld. Even the chance of reincarnation must be cut off, and the cultivation seeds of each family will never choose this path easily."
Qi Jingzhi became more and more speechless. After working hard for the old city god, he was able to become a god after his death as a third-rank official. Even though he was humble in words, he was very proud in his heart. However, in the eyes of a real family member, the so-called status of ghosts and gods is not worth mentioning. Nothing more.
The young man sighed secretly, quickly regained his composure, and nodded: "I understand, blood has its own power, and there are still internal and external enemies in the Xia. Even the people at the bottom who are as humble as grass are not lambs without the slightest resistance. , but the cornerstone that Daqi relies on to control this land and gradually tame its wild nature."
Liu Muzhi choked immediately, then nodded helplessly and said angrily: "Brother Yu has said so much, but Brother Qi is concise and to the point."
With a smile on his face, Qi Jingzhi cupped his fists and said thanks: "Without Brother Liu's explanation, how could Qi Jingzhi know how vast this world is! Brother, I am very grateful for your kindness!"
It was probably the first time that the young hero experienced the joy of being a teacher. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel happy and said happily: "Although Brother Fool and Brother Xian have only met once, they are very close to each other. We can get closer in the future!"
Qi Jingzhi knew that he was already a good fertilizer for the other party, so he immediately smiled and said: "That's natural! I have little knowledge, and I will have to ask my brother for advice on many things I don't understand in the future!"
The two were calling themselves brothers when suddenly two people entered the courtyard of the government office. They were both strong men in short attire and serious expressions. They went straight to the east duty room.
When Liu Muzhi saw it, he immediately put away his smile and asked seriously, "How is it?"
At first, a strong man came close and stopped. Hearing the words, he did not answer, but gave Qi Jingzhi a look.
The young meritorious officer immediately waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, the previous case of the Li family was handled by Qi Dutou."
After hearing this, the strong man nodded gently to Qi Jingzhi, and then answered with his hands raised: "It has been examined and all Li Huang's limbs have turned into pus, only one of his limbs is still alive, and his skull is empty. In addition, there is nothing in Li Huang's room." The smell of the snake is very strong, it must have been caused by a demon!"
The man who was half a step slower also followed up and reported: "My subordinates took a trip to the Lijiakong Garden in the western suburbs. Along the way, they did not find the so-called Yuan Mansion. The villagers also said that there is no such family in the local area."
"As for the garden, my subordinates also took a look at it. There is a silver cellar in the cave in the garden, which contains twenty-two boxes of gold and silver. In addition, they found a strange dead body that was mostly damaged, and two torches that had just burned out. , there are many signs of fighting.”
"There is no strange smell in the garden as claimed by the Li family when they reported the crime, and there is no smell of snake odor."
After reporting the case, the man hesitated slightly and added: "Considering that the silver cellar may be involved in demons, my subordinates have sealed it in accordance with the law. During this period, Ma Dian Shi Deli of the county was reporting the news and led several government officials to arrive. , seeing the seal in the silver cellar, there seemed to be a look of perseverance on his face..."
