Chapter 858: Selection of the Eastern Ghost Emperor

Jiang Huai appears.

It's very peaceful, like a random passerby, walking slowly from the end of the world.

At the same time, everyone present subconsciously stood up.

For the villagers of Liu Village, Jiang Huai, the Lord of Liu Village, has long become a symbol of faith. Naturally, they dare not neglect it. Everything they do is from the heart.

As for the outside kings, regardless of whether it comes from the heart or not, the Lord of Willow Village is now recognized as the number one in the world. His true strength is suspected to be even more powerful than the Quasi-Immortal Emperor. He covers thousands of worlds and is respected for his strength. The eternal truth,

A quasi-immortal emperor deserves to be bowed down by all the kings present, not to mention the Lord of Willow Village.

Jiang Huai walked step by step,

Under his feet, the golden lotus originally condensed from the avenue began to rotate slowly, each one releasing a brilliant light, intertwining with each other to form mysterious patterns.

These patterns seem to tell the secret of the birth of the universe, or guide the practitioners on the path to the supreme realm, transcending everything, and all the scenes are sublimated to the extreme, showing the true face of the avenue.

A group of old immortal kings were horrified. Judging from the inadvertent fluctuations shown by the Lord of Willow Village, the latter... seemed to be more powerful than they imagined!

"Gu Chen is my genius, I am very happy!"

The bloodthirsty magic gun let out a soft roar, as if an unprecedented ferocious beast was slowly reviving, and the oppression came. Even a group of veteran immortal kings looked at each other, and seemed to be responding to Jiang Huai's words, and they were also cheering.

The eyes of the Ten-Crown King and the Banished Immortal flickered, and they stared intently at the magic weapon in Gu Chen's hand. Their eyes widened. Their hearts were happy for Gu Chen, a good brother, but at the same time, they were inevitably full of sourness.

I wish I was the master of this weapon.

There is never anything ordinary that adults personally send to each other.

What's more, even before the bloodthirsty spear was fired, the two of them could already feel that it was extraordinary, definitely more extraordinary than they imagined.

The Ten-Crown King's eyes were firmly fixed on the bloodthirsty spear, with unconcealable desire and envy shining in his eyes.

He clenched his hands unconsciously, as if he was imagining that he could control such a powerful weapon and continue to write his own immortal legend on the path of cultivation. He secretly thought in his heart that if he had this gun in hand, his combat power would definitely rise to another level.

Moreover, due to its wide attack range and powerful power, the gun is truly the king of weapons.

The banished immortal came out of the dust, just like an immortal coming to the world. He was dressed in white clothes, his hair was blowing in the wind, and his eyes reflected the cold light of the bloodthirsty spear, but his heart was filled with waves.

Although the spear was not the weapon he had taken advantage of, he knew that these magical weapons not only had earth-shattering killing power, but also contained indescribable principles of heaven and earth. The carrier is of immeasurable help to the path of spiritual practice.

Banished Immortal secretly sighed in his heart. If he could get this gun, it might allow him to take another step forward in pursuing the great road. However, he was not discouraged. With the nature of the adults, it would be better to wait for him and others to enter the quasi-immortal emperor realm. Receive a nice award!

Although Tuwazi was envious, his reaction was far from that big. After all, his talent was here, and being able to become an Immortal King was already a matter of smoke on the ancestral grave. As for the Emperor, he actually didn't dare to imagine it.

Others, such as Shi Hao, also cast envious glances and moved slightly.

He knew very well what a good weapon meant to a warrior.

He can feel that that spear is probably a rare good thing for the quasi-immortal emperor. He doesn't even have one. He thinks that only the Lord of Willow Village can get such a good thing!

Gu Chen's face was filled with joy, and he tightened his grip on the spear in his hand. The tip of the spear glowed coldly, and it seemed that with just a little force, he could poke the entire square of the sky upside down. This was enough to show how sharp the spear was!

"Thank you, sir!" He thanked him again. He liked this weapon from the bottom of his heart. He was worried that he didn't have a weapon that he could take advantage of.

Jiang Huai nodded and did not stay here for long. After handing the bloodthirsty spear to Gu Chen, he left amid the greetings of everyone.

People in the square, as Jiang Huai left, the veteran immortal kings from all the major sects suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.

Although Jiang Huai did not show any coercion, they still felt unimaginably suffocated, and the surging energy and blood in his body seemed to be frozen.

"Serve!" Old Man Lin stood up at the right time.

Give an order.

Immediately, the people responsible for serving and delivering food filed in.

The aroma of the dishes lingers here, making people unable to resist eating.

Gu Chen walked towards the direction of the Ten-Crown King, Banished Immortal and other old acquaintances.

Some old immortal kings who wanted to get close were ready to make a move, but they did not approach directly. The emperor's power was inviolable. If the emperor did not take the initiative to look for them, they could not pass.

The Immortal Kings of the major sects secretly used their spiritual consciousness to communicate with the current person in charge of their own forces, and ordered them to choose gifts immediately. They must be sincere and sufficient, and send them to Liucun as quickly as possible.

…

Seeing Gu Chen walking over with a high-spirited expression and indescribable fluctuations all over his body, the Ten-Crown King and the Banished Immortal looked at each other and sighed inwardly.

Once upon a time, they were still standing on the same level, but now, they were left behind.

Have we agreed to advance together and retreat together? !

"Gu Chen, congratulations!" The Ten-Crown King spoke first, with heartfelt congratulations in his voice, but a hint of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

As a fellow prodigy and a friend, he was naturally happy for Gu Chen's breakthrough.

But besides being happy, a complex thought surged deep in his heart.

He was a ten-time champion, and had won the first place in the ancient ruins of the nine heavens and ten earths ten times. He had ambitions that others could not imagine, and even if he was an acquaintance with whom he had a decent relationship, he was unwilling to stay behind.

What's more, they were all ambitious prodigies, and everyone had a lofty ambition and wanted to be at the forefront.

However, at the moment, Gu Chen had already taken the lead, which undoubtedly brought them great pressure.

The exiled immortal seemed more profound and free and easy, and stood up and clasped his fists towards Gu Chen: "Brother Gu Chen, you are ahead of us in this step."

Gu Chen smiled and said: "We are all geniuses, and everyone has his own way to go. I just took a step ahead. With your talent, you will catch up soon."

The Ten Crown King and the Exiled Immortal couldn't help but feel excited. They didn't think that the King Realm could trap them, and they all believed that they could step into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm.

"Forget it, even if I can reach a certain level, I'm afraid I don't know when it will happen." Tuwazi shook his head.

"Hahaha, you have a good luck and a blessed face. I have a feeling that it won't be too long." The Ten Crown King couldn't help laughing.

The four looked at each other and laughed.

If you have to say, the ones who are most moved are the old supreme giants in the village, such as the one who sells fake medicine, the one who raises chickens, and the three butchers.

In the years when the emperor didn't come out, the strength of the three was definitely among the strongest, but now...

It can only be said that time makes people old!

The era that belonged to them has finally become a thing of the past.

However, after sighing, the three of them also had some hope. Joining Liu Village was probably an unprecedented opportunity for them. Maybe they could really try to dream boldly!

Especially those who sell fake medicines, they have already glimpsed a glimpse of the way forward, and the chance of success is greater.

At the same time.

The bedroom was filled with delicacies in front of them.

Old man Lin brought a portion alone.

When he was about to enjoy it, Jiang Huai's face condensed slightly, and the whole person suddenly froze.

At this moment, the voice of the golden finger came from his mind:

The Eastern Ghost Emperor was found to be suitable.

Eastern Ghost Emperor: The head of the Five Ghost Emperors, located above the Ten Kings of Hell.

Entering the right position of the Netherworld can activate a new ability of the underworld!

Eastern Ghost Emperor Candidate - Shen Zhinan,

Current location: Lower Realm, Great Wilderness, Jiangkou County, Daokou Prefecture, Dayu Dynasty, Identity, Porter...

…

…

Eight Regions of the Lower Realm.

The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast and wild.

Since the birth of the Lower Realm.

The spiritual energy and resources of the Heaven Realm are far richer than those of other realms, so from ancient times to the present, the Heaven Realm has always been the main one.

However, due to the Emperor Huang Tian, ​​after entering the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, the Dao Fruit Feedback, the Wilderness has replaced it and become the leader of the eight realms.

Looking around, the vast wilderness of millions of miles is lush and green, full of spring and vitality.

…

Jiangkou County is surrounded by mountains, vines and vines, and there are many forks, which makes it inconvenient to pass. However, because the main stream of the Han River passes around the city, in early spring, the mountains are full of green and the scenery is quite good.

As the sun rises, the sparkling river surface is full of large and small boats.

This section is the widest waterway of the entire Han River, with vast smoke and waves, gentle water, and few strong winds and waves.

Jiangkou County is famous for its abundant production of well salt, and the well salt output is extremely large and of high quality.

In addition to meeting the needs of the county, there are special boats every day to transport to Qingyuan Prefecture, the next level.

A corner of the dock.

The packaged well salt was delivered before dawn and piled up like small hills.

Next to it, there is a group of bare-chested, black-skinned, muscular porters who have been waiting here for half a day.

Because of years of physical labor, these porters look much older than their actual age, all with frost and wrinkles on their faces.

At this moment, all the porters look ready to go. Their salary is not calculated by day, but by how many pieces of goods you move.

If others earn a little more, it means that you have to earn a little less.

Bachelor men naturally don't care. If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. But if there are people waiting for food at home, they can only work hard.

However, among the porters, there is a figure that seems out of place.

It was a young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, who looked particularly strong, with a slender and strong upper body, clear muscles, and angular lines visible to the naked eye.

Although he was young, his body looked thicker than those around him, and he was half a head taller. I don’t know how he grew up in this era of hunger.

The biggest difference was his eyes, which were bright and kind, and very different from the indifferent eyes around him.

The boy’s name was Shen Zhinan. Shen Zhinan’s family was relatively well-off. He had been arranged to marry a good-looking child bride who was three years older than him.

A year ago, his parents were attacked by bandits when they went out to visit their relatives. Since then, his family has fallen into poverty and he has become a porter.

“The boat is here, move it quickly, move quickly, and if you do a good job, the owner will give you extra money.”

At this moment, someone shouted sharply.

Dozens of porters immediately moved in a crowd.

Shen Zhinan was tall and strong, and he quickly squeezed to the front. His hands were like iron tongs, and he grabbed two sacks in each hand and trotted towards the cargo ship in front.

A sack of well salt weighed about 40 to 50 kilograms.

Four sacks would weigh about 200 kilograms.

Among the common people, he is definitely considered a strong man.

The porters around him looked at him silently, and they were used to it.

They all called Shen Zhinan Shen Daniu in private, because he had a lot of strength.

Although they were angry that part of their salary was taken away, no one dared to say anything.

Because someone had provoked Shen Daniu before, wanting him to get out of here, but the latter beat him up without saying a word, and he didn't get out of bed for ten days or half a month.

From then on, everyone understood that this young man was a cruel person.

…

It was not until dusk that all the well salt was moved, and it was time to settle the accounts.

Shen Zhinan did the most work, one person for two people, and carried a total of 260 bags, each bag costing one cent, a total of 260 cents.

After calculating the accounts and holding the money in his hand, Shen Zhinan felt much more at ease.

The world is in turmoil right now, with many wars. Although the purchasing power of money has greatly decreased, without money, you will really starve to death.

Just as he was about to leave, an old man in brocade clothes suddenly came over and stopped Shen Zhinan.

"I said before that whoever does a good job will be rewarded with extra money. This is the reward for you."

The old man spoke with great approval, and at the same time, he took out ten coins separately.

"Thank you, Steward Ma!" Shen Zhinan knew the old man's identity, and hurriedly said respectfully, and immediately took the money.

Steward Ma nodded slightly, then turned around and left.

A porter is just a little stronger, not worth wasting too much time.

...

He took a look at the sky, put on the coarse cloth shorts on the side, and hurriedly walked towards the rice shop.

As for why he didn't wear it when working, one was that he sweated too much when working, and he had to wash it when he went back, and the other was that he was worried about wearing clothes.

The afterglow of the setting sun poured over the earth and enveloped the ancient city.

Rice shop,

After asking about the price, Shen Zhinan couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

It's expensive again.

In troubled times, the price of grain changes every day.

The price of the cheapest corn has risen to 20 wen per dou.

As for the price of rice, it's 50 wen.

The money earned in a day is only enough to buy a few dou of rice, not enough to fill the gaps between teeth.

Most of the poor people choose corn, and when they eat it, they add bran, so that they can eat it for a longer time.

Bran is the feed used to cultivate livestock in later generations. The bran of various grains is beaten together. It can barely be eaten, but it's very unpalatable.

In normal times, he would do the same. After all, who cares about what to eat when they are in danger of losing their lives, but today is a special day.

His cheap wife is pregnant.

One person, two mouths, can no longer make do as before, it is easy to not keep up with the nutrition, and premature death is a common thing.

I bought three dou of rice, and then five dou of corn. Finally, I went to the butcher shop on East Street to buy two kilograms of lard and one kilogram of lean meat.

Following the street, turning into an alley, a large area of ​​low and narrow black-tiled houses came into view.

It was already dark, and Shen Zhinan came to his door and pushed open the old wooden door. In the narrow yard, a woman in coarse linen clothes was washing clothes.

The woman was about 20 years old, with pretty features and beautiful eyebrows and eyes. It can be seen that she had a good foundation, but because of years of hard work, she looked more vicissitudes than her actual age. Seeing that the man bought a lot of things, the woman was about to blame him.

Shen Zhinan said first: "You are pregnant, you need to strengthen your nutrition, otherwise it will be bad for your health."
