Chapter 71 Yushan (1/2)

Since Er Gouzi was arrested, the county government sent Wang the head of the police, with several yamen runners, to Shekou Mountain to raid Er Gouzi's house.

Wang the head of the police rushed to Shekou Mountain.

Raiding the house of a Qigong cultivator, the benefits are huge, you can imagine.

Especially last time, the jujube tea he drank at Er Gouzi's house was very strong in spiritual energy. I wonder if Er Gouzi's house still has it.

Taking the opportunity of raiding the house, we must look for it carefully, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find some.

When these wolf-like officials rushed to the foot of Shekou Mountain, they were stopped by a group of ragged villagers.

"You unruly people, don't get out of the way!"

Wang the head of the police shouted at the group of unruly people.

In the past, as long as they showed up, they could stop the children from crying, and everyone would be trembling and retreat.

Unexpectedly, there are still people who dare to block their way today.

"The boss has ordered that no one can go up the mountain."

Qiuyue, as the leader designated by Ergouzi, could only stand in front and speak.

However, from her slightly trembling trouser legs, it can be seen that she was not calm at the moment, and she couldn't stop trembling because of nervousness and fear.

"Get out of my way!"

Captain Wang drew his sword and was about to rush forward.

"You unruly people, do you still have the law?"

But Qiuyue and her people still stood in front of them, not retreating a step.

"We are all bought by the boss. Women don't understand the law, they only know that there is a boss."

Qiuyue's words were quickly echoed by the crowd.

"Yes, we are the boss's people, and we only listen to the boss."

"What law? When we were starving to death, why didn't the law take care of us!"

"It was the boss who gave us a bite to eat and gave us a chance to live."

"My life was given by the boss..."

The moment these people were forced to sell themselves in the market, they had already made up their minds to die or live a life worse than death.

Unexpectedly, after being bought back by the boss, they didn't have to be made into human flesh, nor were they sold to brothels. They were even better than being sold to wealthy families as servants.

For these people, Er Gouzi was the sky above their heads.

Facing the indignation of thousands of people, Captain Wang and the few officials he brought with him were really a little scalp-numbing.

But how could the officials, who had always been arrogant, give in to the unruly people?

Captain Wang raised his waist knife and chopped Qiuyue with one knife, knocking Qiuyue to the ground.

The people under Er Gouzi were already in a state of indignation, and now seeing blood was like adding fuel to the fire.

"Kill them!"

I don't know who took the lead and shouted, and then everyone used the sticks in their hands to hit the officials.

There were too many people, and those who were far away threw stones inside.

Huang Fugui also held a fire stick and was about to squeeze in to beat the officials.

Huang Laocai couldn't stop him behind him.

"Son, you are different from them. Killing an official is like rebelling. The whole family will be killed."

But Huang Fugui had suffered enough from the officials in prison. His legs were broken. The seeds of hatred had been planted in his heart.

Now he was so angry that he could not listen.

Although Captain Wang had some cultivation, it was not high. He was not much stronger than ordinary people. Two fists could not beat four hands, let alone thousands of people.

He chopped down several unruly people with his waist knife in succession, but unexpectedly, a fire stick suddenly hit him from behind.

Huang Fugui still listened to his father's words. If the government investigated, the whole family would be killed.

So he squeezed into the crowd with a fire stick and did not come out. He was sneaky and hit from behind.

He had been working as a blacksmith for a long time and had taken a few bottles of Peiyuan Guben Pills, so he had a lot of brute force.

After this blow, Captain Wang fainted at that time…………

…………

Er Gouzi had been locked up in the dungeon for three days.

It was dark and damp inside, and there was a foul smell everywhere.

The most unethical thing was that the cell he was in was only four feet high, and he could never stand up straight inside, and could only squat or lie down.

The surrounding walls were made into slopes, so he couldn't lean against the wall.

During these three days, the jailer didn't give him a bite of food or a drop of water.

Fortunately, Er Gouzi had a gourd hidden on him, and when no one was watching, he would secretly eat some powerful pills.

"Bang..."

The door opened, and Er Gouzi squatted in the cell and saw two pairs of feet coming in.

One pair was naturally the jailer.

The other pair of feet wore soft-soled boots. Er Gouzi looked up from the feet and saw a head of long gray hair.

"Sima Yi!"

The person who came was Sima Yi. When he saw this low cell, he turned his head and glared at the jailer.

"Open the door quickly, do you want me to treat you?"

"Master Sima, calm down, I'll open the door right away."

The jailer was glared at by Sima Yi, and his hand holding the key was shaking a little.

The prison door opened, Er Gouzi crouched down and crawled out, trying to stretch his limbs.

He never thought that standing up straight would be so comfortable.

"Let's go, it's too smelly in here."

The two walked out of the dungeon one after the other. The sunlight outside was a little dazzling. Er Gouzi covered his eyes for a long time before gradually adapting.

"I almost died this time, thank you very much!"

"It's okay, it's just a little help."

Sima Yi said nonchalantly.

"One of your two geese died, and the other one is temporarily locked up in the backyard of Huichun Hall."

Er Gouzi felt a little sad about the death of a big goose, but he almost died.

It seemed that in the eyes of the county magistrate and the registrar, the two geese were more valuable than Er Gouzi. From beginning to end, he was just an accessory.

In the backyard of Huichun Hall, after suffering humiliation, the big goose saw its master again and walked to Er Gouzi to rub against him.

Then it raised its head and looked heroic and proud, as if to tell its master how brave and unyielding he was.

"I have asked my uncle to transfer you to his subordinates. You are now a sergeant in the county army. You have no soldiers under you at present, and it is just an empty position."

"If you want to go to the army, you can follow my uncle to suppress bandits and make some military achievements. If you don't want to go to the army, it's okay to go home."

Sima Yi pulled Er Gouzi out of the dungeon this time and arranged his retreat.

"As long as my uncle is still the county lieutenant of Anchang, no one else can order you around."

"Thank you!"

Er Gouzi didn't know how to repay Sima Yi for saving his life.

"I plan to go home first."

After saying goodbye to Sima Yi, he took the only remaining goose and returned to Shekou Mountain.

Er Gouzi is now disheartened. He will stay as far away from government affairs as possible in the future.

He doesn't have the kindness of Sima Yi. He doesn't have enough personal ability. He can't even protect himself, let alone save the victims.

It's better to go back and farm and practice honestly.

No matter how discouraged you are, practice is necessary.

If he has the strength of the late stage of Qi training, he may be able to escape from the county magistrate and the registrar.

Because of the locusts and bandits, there are few normal villages on the way back.

In the entire Anchang County, Dingjiazhuang may be the only one that can maintain peace.

No wonder the tenants in Dingjiazhuang didn't want to be landlords, they just wanted to be tenants of the Ding family for generations.

There weren't many people left in Shexi Village. I heard that many people went out to become bandits.

When he returned to the foot of Shekou Mountain, he realized that his men were really brave. They beat up the officials and locked them all up.

More than 20 of his men were chopped and injured, and two died.

Qiuyue had a long cut on her face and chest, but she was lucky enough not to die.

He went to see the five officials again. They were still alive, but their noses and faces were swollen and looked a little miserable.

Er Gouzi was a little worried. It was not easy to deal with the people in the government.

"Master Zhang, let me say a few more good words and let them go."

Huang Laocai saw Er Gouzi coming back, fearing that he would act impulsively, so he hurried over to persuade him.

"People from the government cannot be killed. If they are accused of treason, the whole family will be executed and the nine clans will be killed."

Er Gouzi thought for a long time and could only deal with it this way.

If the county government continues to investigate this matter and accuses him of treason, he can only lead his people to become a bandit.

After letting Wang the captain go, when he rode a goose to the top of the mountain, he found that the geese were also fighting around something.

He walked over to take a look and was so scared that he took several steps back.

How did he invite this monster here?

The one who was surrounded and beaten by the geese at this moment was the birdman who was injured and escaped that day.

At that time, the county magistrate and the registrar detained Er Gouzi on the pretext that he did not ride a goose to chase the birdman.

It's really a narrow road for enemies. This guy didn't go anywhere and ran to his Shekou Mountain.

Looking at his appearance, he should be seriously injured. Now he can't even beat his goose.

This guy can fly. If he meets other monks, he can still escape, but if he meets a flock of geese that can also fly, he can't escape.

"Get out of the way, let me do it!"

Er Gouzi was just holding back a lot of anger, roared, squeezed into the flock of geese, and kicked and kicked the birdman.

"Hehe! You also have a time when you are in trouble."

After saying that, he found that the wording was not right, and then thought that he was Er Gouzi, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

Then he kicked the birdman wildly for a while. All his men died, and he suffered so much, which was more or less related to this birdman.

The emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for several days were all vented on the birdman at this time.

"Don't fight..."

"I surrender..."

"I confess..."

"I confess everything..."

In the intermittent, the birdman occasionally begged for mercy.

But the big goose was too noisy, and Er Gouzi was so angry at the moment that he didn't hear it.

After a while of rubbing and torturing, the birdman's two wings were broken, and the feathers on his body were scattered.

The birdman's originally thin body was beaten to a large size.

At this time, he had multiple fractures all over his body and collapsed on the ground, unable to stand up.

"Don't... stop beating me..."

"I'll tell you everything..."

Er Gouzi didn't ask anything, but heard the birdman talking to himself.

It seems that the birdman's will is not firm at all.

"What's your name? Where are you from?"

"My name is Yushan, male, from Wan Yao Country, Feiyu Tribe, 45 years old this year..."

This birdman named Yushan was really scared by the beating.

Er Gouzi asked a question, and he said everything he could remember in his memory like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"I also know that there is a spiritual spring at the foot of the northern mountain of Wan Yao Country, and drinking it can give birth to quadruplets..."

"Stop! Let's confess here temporarily today."

Er Gouzi listened for an afternoon, and even heard a lot of secret gossip between men and women in Wan Yao Country.

As for the purpose of Yushan's visit this time, he also understood it almost.

In summary, the evil cult on the side of the Great Zhou Dynasty sent envoys to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters.

They took the initiative to tell the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters that the Great Zhou Dynasty was now weak internally and had suffered disasters for years. It was a good opportunity to send a large army to attack Qingzhou.

In order to persuade the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters to send troops, the evil cult promised to create unrest internally and fully cooperate.

Yushan went to Chengxi Town to steal the elixir this time because he was bewitched by the evil cult members.

It turns out that the thief in the house is the most difficult to guard against.

At this time, Er Gouzi raised the door panel sword, and frightened Yushan to shrink into a ball.

"Don't kill me, I still have a lot of information!"

"I still have a 200-year-old mother to support, and I'm still a child."

"I can work, I can do any work."

Er Gouzi picked up the heavy sword, gestured to Yushan, and then slashed it with a sword.

"Puff!"

"Ah..."

One of Yushan's wings was cut off at the root.

Then another sword cut off the other wing.

According to Yushan's confession, the ability of their tribe lies in their wings.

So he temporarily believed him, cut off his two wings, and stayed on the mountain to work.

After losing his wings, he would not be able to fly anyway, and under the watch of a group of geese, he could not escape from his Shekou Mountain.

The mountain really needed someone to work, digging soil, loosening the land, weeding, watering, harvesting, feeding geese, grinding, sweeping, burning fire, washing clothes...

Er Gouzi looked at Yushan's three-foot-tall body and wondered if he could do this heavy work.

"Go push the stone mill, if you can push it, I'll keep you."

Yushan didn't care about the wound on his body that was still bleeding, struggled to stand up, and walked to the side of the stone mill.

He was not as tall as the stone mill, so he could only stand on tiptoe desperately to barely reach the handle of the millstone.

Yushan knew that this was the time to decide his fate. He endured the pain on his body, gritted his teeth, and finally pushed the millstone to turn slowly.

"Okay, I'll spare your life for now."

"If you want to escape or don't work hard, you'll be like this stone."

Er Gouzi said, and with one sword, a stone weighing 100 jin was split into two.

After threatening Yushan, he walked over and picked up the pair of wings that had been cut off.

In the feathers at the root of the wings, he found a fiery red medicinal herb.

It was the spiritual medicine that Yushan stole from the county magistrate's spiritual field, called Huo Lingcao.

In addition to Huo Lingcao, he also got a pepper tree, a small white tree, and the body of the insect king this time.

The pepper tree was planted in a corner, and then watered, and there should be no problem.

According to Yushan, there are many white trees in their world of monsters, and the fruit is called Hua Yao Guo.

It can promote monsters to break through, and it has a great attraction to monsters, but it seems to be useless to humans.

Er Gouzi wants to plant this thing, but he doesn't want to attract monsters.

Even if he doesn't attract monsters, he can't stand attracting a large number of locusts all day long.

After thinking for a while, he found a large ceramic jar, put some soil in it, and then planted the demon-transforming fruit tree in it.

Then, with a thought, he put it in the gourd.

This way, it would not attract demons.

Since fish can grow in the gourd, it should be possible to put spiritual plants in it.

Let's try it first.

Finally, there is the fire spirit grass that Yushan stole.

According to Yushan, this spiritual medicine is one of the five spiritual herbs of wood, fire, earth, gold and water.

Collecting these five spiritual herbs can refine the foundation-building pill. Taking a foundation-building pill can increase the success rate of foundation-building by 20%.

Fire spirit grass must be planted in a place with rich fire spirit energy, and the absorption and consumption of spiritual energy is extremely large.

The best one-acre spiritual field in Chengxi Town can only plant two fire spirit grasses.

These two spiritual herbs absorb all the spiritual energy and nutrients, and no grass grows around them.

It is said that no matter how fertile the spiritual field is, the spiritual power will be exhausted after planting a round of five spiritual herbs.

It has to be abandoned for 100 years before other spiritual objects can be planted.

There are only these two Fire Spirit Grasses in the whole Anchang County, and the county magistrate is still counting on using the Fire Spirit Grasses to exchange for Foundation Building Pills in the county city.

But he didn't expect that one of them was stolen by Yushan.

In order to plant this Fire Spirit Grass, Er Gouzi deliberately stayed away from the medicinal field, reclaimed a small piece of land, planted the Fire Spirit Grass, and then watered it.

Fire Spirit Grass can only grow in places with rich fire spirit energy, and there is no spirit energy on his Shekou Mountain.

Now he can only hope that the water in the yellow gourd will create a miracle.

After another three days, the Fire Spirit Grass was planted and survived.

At the same time, with the Fire Spirit Grass as the center, the surrounding weeds and trees began to die in large numbers, and even if he poured the water in the gourd, it could not be saved.
