Chapter 302: Dual Swords

Da Chu Yong'an four years.

Jinting Lake, Zaiwu Island.

Only because of virtue can it carry things!

Originally, the island was nameless, but after Xu Ting occupied it, he immediately named it after carrying objects, showing his strong ambitions.

At this time, on the pier, several large ships slowly docked.

A group of refugees moved down in an orderly manner with families as units, and the surrounding soldiers maintained a basic formation, obviously experienced.

The terrain of this island is flat. After walking for a while, a piece of flat land appeared. At this time, the fields and ridges had been roughly cultivated, and there were some farmhouses.

Regardless of the fields or farmhouses, they are all well-organized, horizontal and vertical, full of the beauty of a large-scale plan.

"grown ups!"

At this time, several people who looked like civil servants came forward to greet him.

"Hm... well done! How's the situation now?"

These are all outstanding children in the family who can read and count. They were there at the beginning of the family and immediately formed the backbone.

Xu Ting looked at the farmland and took a breath of satisfaction—this is the foundation!

"Follow your lord's order, set up a Baojia here, with five households and one family, elect the head of the family, clarify the responsibilities, and if there is any escape, they will sit together immediately... At this time, one hundred Jia has been established, 20,000 acres have been reclaimed, and each family has There must be one strong man, who will work as a farmer when he is busy, and participate in military training when he is free...Because the land is divided, and there is a large amount of material support, the people's mind is stable, and there are very few escapes..."

A civil official told him.

"very good!"

Xu Ting nodded: "This time I broke up the water bandits in the Thirteenth Lianhuanwu again, and transported 3,000 people, and they all have to be resettled, no problem?"

Because it is under military control and the planning and statistics are convenient, the clerk just thought about it for a while, and then he affirmed: "The houses and wooden houses are all built, and they can be moved in just waiting for people to come... And this island can reclaim 30,000 mu of flat land. In fact, there are still hillsides where terraced fields can be built, which is at least 5,000 mu, and when the rice is harvested, it can raise thousands of young adults!"

This official is also from the Xu family, and his eyes are burning with fire.

It is said that they are young and strong, but in fact, they are elite soldiers!

You can send a thousand troops at will! It can even attack various prefectures along the waterway, which is already a very remarkable force.

After hearing this, Xu Ting was also very satisfied.

In fact, this is a military settlement. Soldiers serve as farmers in leisure time and soldiers in wartime. Military control is implemented, which reduces the exploitation of many administrative units and wealthy gentry.

Not to mention, rice is still grown here, and the yield per mu is very high, so more can be raised.

In this way, the cost of the incident will be there.

"However, Thirteen Lianlianwu is the last alliance of water bandits to resist. After this battle is settled, there will be no large-scale water bandits in Jinting Lake in the future. At most, sporadic raids..."

Entering the meeting hall, Xu Ting said slowly: "You are all my confidantes, so I'll just say it straight, now that traitors are in power, the world is exhausted, and there are feudal towns all over the place. , I just want Gou’s life to be safe, but to do this, you must also have the strength in your hands.”

"This Zaiwu Island is the last foundation of my family. If the overall situation is unfavorable, retreating here, with hidden reefs and undercurrent natural dangers, can also guarantee temporary safety!"

"Nowadays, it is necessary to expand the strength of this island quickly. It doesn't matter if the water bandits are gone. You can go to the counties to recruit refugees. It doesn't even have to be the government!"

...

After suppressing bandits and taking control of the army, the entire island is under control, and Xu Ting does not shy away from revealing some secrets.

Of course, no one will tell the real core or even the ambition.

"Young master is wise!"

But these things also made the people below feel excited.

After all, the troubled times have come, and it is something that everyone can see. This Zaiwu Island has natural dangers and fertile land for reclamation. Once it can be self-sufficient, people's hearts will settle down at once.

'Nowadays... Wang Qiao's persecution is getting worse, and she has even started planning to confer the title of Marquis and King. She is rebellious... The whole world is about to be in chaos. With this rear and elite soldiers, my family has no further hope! '

Xu Ting looked into the distance, feeling secretly hot for a moment.

...

"The general trend of humanity is in full swing... Especially in all countries, there seem to be monsters..."

Fang Yuan was entrenched in the water, watching this scene silently, but thoughtfully.

"Among Qi and Liang, either the princes are competing for the throne, or there are powerful ministers, and the emperor's health is not good. Is it all a coincidence? Hehe... The monster clan is really easy to plan, but don't want to marry someone else!"

Seeing this situation, he already had a slight guess. I am afraid that among the high-level leaders of various countries, the figure of the monster race has been mixed in, which will make people's morale self-defeating.

But God tricks!

The three kingdoms were originally not favored by the destiny, and they should have declined. Dragons and snakes rose from the land, and each fought for the destiny.

The Yaozu rashly intervened, but it accelerated the process. Even the powers of the Yaozu, the saints, and the divination secrets were all confused, and the five aggregates were all in chaos.

"It seems that the will of God in this world is stronger than I imagined..."

Fang Yuan looked solemn, and stopped looking at Zaiwu Island, but came to a cave under the water.

With a flick of the horned dragon's tail, it immediately transformed into a human form, sitting cross-legged, with two swords floating in front of it, one blue and the other purple, both shining in brilliance and chilling, extraordinary.

"go!"

With a single point of his finger, the two streams of mana surged up, turned into flames, and began to frantically refine the pair of swords.

"This spirit sword is no small matter. It was only suppressed with merit before, and it is still one last point before it can be refined!"

At this time, in the flame of mana, the two swords were ups and downs, and their sword lights were hissing, as if they were still doing the last stubborn resistance.

"Hey... it's just a dying struggle!"

Fang Yuan smiled, and the powerful mana rushed forward. With the help of merit, he finally completely erased the last trace of the brand in the spirit sword.

Bark!

With the movement of the two swords, the brilliance was completely dissipated, revealing the simple body with various simple patterns on it.

"A good sword! It's really a good sword. It doesn't seem to be as simple as a spiritual treasure. There is a faint gathering of luck on it. I'm afraid it will take a lot of killing and calamity..."

No matter how good the treasure is, as long as it cannot be collected in real dreams, it is only useful in this world for Fang Yuan, and its value is not too great.

Of course, after Xuanzhen knew about it, he was afraid that he would jump.

"After such a long investigation, you should know my footsteps, right? And this spirit sword, it must be taken back..."

Fang Yuan sneered and made up his mind.

At this time, as soon as he waved his hand, the two swords fell on his hand, as he wished.

After the light is subdued, the inscriptions on the sword body are clearly visible. There are ancient seal characters, one is Zisuo, and the other is Qingqiu.

"Heaven and earth kill and calamity, people have them, so do their swords...Xuanzhen Dao refines this pair of swords, he must fight continuously, kill several people, and end his own calamity..."

Fang Yuan naturally guessed the ins and outs of these two swords without pinching his fingers. His heart suddenly moved, and the mana light in his hand flickered. Faintly, at first glance, it looks like a magic soldier who cuts iron like mud in the world.

"The Yaozu are rivals, and colleagues are enemies... Does Xuanzhendao still want to support the Xu family?"

With a thought in his heart, he immediately came to the side of Zaiwu Island, his crown robes retracted, and he turned into the appearance of an ordinary young man. Just a little bit, a layer of water mist emerged, and he immediately disappeared, passed the outer guards, and came to the depths of the island.

...

"Hey... bird, bird, eat more!"

In the dense forest, the Taoist priest who fought with Xu Ting before was feeding the white bird, and a look of loneliness flashed across his face.

Although he was dressed as a Taoist priest, he didn't have a formal Taoist certificate. He was born in Yeluzi, named Kong Luo.

It's just that his lineage is from a casual cultivator background, there is no serious inheritance, only a simple set of bait and convincing methods, and the thaumaturgy of feeding white birds.

This kind of casual cultivator often has few disciples, and after a few generations, the orthodox incense will be cut off.

But if you have an adventure, you can also rise up and be among the Taoists.

Kong Luo followed his master for half his life, and settled down in the Jinze Mansion. Before the old Taoist died, it was a coincidence that he saw through some secrets and ordered him to join the Xu family, use his strength to protect and practice, and then find a chance to brighten his family.

At this moment, Kong Luo was silently thinking in his heart:

"It's easy to practice in the Gongmen! With the support of the Xu family, I have advanced to the second level in the method of subduing qi, and it was only like this before my master... Now, Mr. Xu's fortune is flourishing, and he is training this elite soldier. Obviously, his ambition is not small. If I can help it, and if I take part of it, it will definitely increase my Dao Gong!"

"However, there are so many strange people in the world, and they have come to vote one after another. My skill is really nothing..."

He was originally valued by Xu Ting, but as Xuanzhen Dao continued to invest more, especially when the previous arrangements were played out, he was immediately excluded, to the point of being dispensable.

At this time, he deeply felt the status crisis, and naturally his face was full of sadness.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, the wind picked up, the bushes stirred, and a big black snake emerged, with fierce eyes, hissing, and biting towards Kongluo.

"What? Such a big snake, ghost?"

Kong Luo was taken aback. The island had been cleared long ago. There should be no beasts. Why was there such a big snake?

At this time, I didn't have time to think, I quickly jumped away, and a talisman was photographed: "Disease!"

puff!

When the fire flashed, the black snake was startled for a moment, and then its tail twitched, and Kong Luo immediately vomited blood and flew backwards.

"Go and call someone!"

The white bird on his shoulder flew up, flapped its wings, and headed for the village, screaming shrilly.

Kong Luo, on the other hand, ran desperately without looking back.

"Could it be that I am going to die here today? No! I want to revitalize the sect! Restore my orthodoxy!"

Thinking of Master's last wish, Kong Luo seemed to have the strength to climb down the mountain.

It was originally just a mound, not far from the village, and military control was implemented. Not long after, a group of soldiers came running.

"help me!"

Seeing the rescuers descending from the sky, Kong Luo immediately exhausted his last bit of strength and yelled out.
