Mortal Immortal Gourd

It has been so long since Xia Mingyuan fell into Er Gouzi's trap last time.

He still feels that his mouth is smelly now, and there is always a faint stench. Every time he eats, he feels nauseous and vomits.

As a Yuanying strongman, he actually feels a little inferior every time he talks to people, and always feels that his breath is bad.

As time goes by, his hatred for Er Gouzi has never diminished, but has become stronger.

He wants to catch Er Gouzi, press him into the cesspool, feed him shit every day, and kill him after a year.

However, since he met Ji Song last time, he has not acted rashly, but waited for a better opportunity.

Because Ji Song came to Sanyang County secretly last time, he also left quietly when he left, without alarming anyone.

Xia Mingyuan waited for two years.

In these two years, he saw that the three counties in Er Gouzi's hands were getting better and better.

He watched as the Qi-cultivating cultivators under Er Gouzi completed their foundation building one by one, and there were dozens or even hundreds of foundation-building cultivators every year.

Even the geese raised in Sanyang County were building their foundations and becoming stronger.

He watched as the strength of Er Gouzi's men became stronger day by day, while his own territory was still half-dead.

The most important thing was that the population was still losing.

Those unruly people were too ungrateful. He had already reduced a lot of taxes, but these unruly people still wanted to run away.

It was not enough for the unruly people to run to Sanyang County, but a large number of unruly people actually ran to the territory of the monster.

This was already a slap in his face. The unruly people would rather surrender to the monster than chase him.

As one grew stronger, the other grew weaker.

If the Yuanying strongman was not counted, he was already the weakest among the three forces.

In the past two years, not only Qingzhou was changing, but the court also underwent tremendous changes.

The Holy Emperor Longxing reused Sima Yi and specifically investigated and punished officials in the court.

Moreover, Sima Yi has learned his lesson now. He no longer handles big cases involving many officials. He only kills one or two officials each time.

With this blunt knife method, the Longxing Emperor has eliminated many disobedient and useless officials.

The entire Zhou Dynasty is in an undercurrent.

Now many officials want to kill Sima Yi, the scourge. As long as he is eliminated, the Longxing Emperor will have no one to use and will not be able to cause any trouble.

In addition to court officials, the royal family has also been very uneasy recently.

The princes who were originally ranked high in the court were all popular candidates for the throne.

Among them, the two with the highest reputation are the Eighth Prince and the Sixth Prince.

These two are the most promising heirs to the throne, and many officials in the court have established relationships with them in advance.

But in the past two years, according to reliable information provided by some spies, the attitude of the Longxing Emperor towards the princes has changed.

In the past two years, although the Longxing Emperor has not met the King of Qi again, it seems that he has ignored the King of Qi.

In fact, people around the emperor often went to the Prince of Qi's mansion in the middle of the night, and secretly sent various cultivation resources to the Prince of Qi.

In addition, Sima Yi, the most popular now, was introduced by the Prince of Qi.

Combining these two pieces of information, it is easy to see that the Longxing Holy Emperor may intend to let the Prince of Qi inherit the throne.

At this time, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was very anxious inside and out.

Some people were anxious, and the blade was pointed at their own heart to solve the problem.

Some people were anxious, so they pointed the blade at the person who created the anxiety.

In short, whether this blade is facing internally or externally, as long as the knife goes down, the anxiety will be solved smoothly.

These officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all strong men with a strong heart. Strong men cannot stab themselves.

So, they prepared to point the blade outward to kill the person who created their anxiety.

Sima Yi encountered the strongest ambush 800 miles away from the capital.

But no one expected that the Longxing Holy Emperor was not stupid, and this was a trap.

Sima Yi was a bait thrown by the emperor, and at the same time, Ji Song was asked to follow Sima Yi quietly, just in time to catch all the masters who showed up.

Several officials were implicated, and it was another shock to the court and the public.

The news in the court reached Xia Mingyuan's ears. After hearing the news, he laughed and went out.

He had waited for so long, and now he finally confirmed that Ji Song was not in Sanyang County. A good opportunity has come.

Xia Mingyuan quietly entered the territory of Sanyang County and saw that the population here was dense, and even those unruly people had a lot of money and food in their homes.

What a sin!

It is well known that unruly people will become lazy if they eat too much.

"The saint said: If you want peace in the world, unruly people must always be three parts hungry and cold!"

It happened that he met a young man like Er Gouzi, who fed all the unruly people, and raised them like masters, and even gave them white rice.

Such good food was wasted by these unruly people!

Xia Mingyuan felt that Zhang Ergou's behavior was deliberately causing trouble for everyone. It was unfair competition, and bad money drove out good money.

I will chop off Zhang Ergou's dog head with a knife, and then collect taxes once a day and take away all the food from these unruly people's homes.

Xia Mingyuan finally rushed to the foot of Shekou Mountain with an indignant mentality.

People living around Shekou Mountain moved to another mountain.

Xia Mingyuan looked at the lonely Shekou Mountain and looked around with his spiritual sense.

He suffered a loss last time, so even if he faced this little cultivator in the foundation-building period, he was still careful enough.

Originally, he could fly directly from the sky to the top of the mountain, but he discovered through his spiritual sense that there were fluctuations of spiritual energy in the sky, and there should be a formation.

The cultivators of the Great Zhou Dynasty suffered here. Xia Mingyuan, a powerful Yuanying, could not make pills, set up formations, or draw talismans.

Xia Mingyuan now saw traces of formations in the sky, and was afraid of traps, so he did not fly rashly from the sky.

He planned to go up from the foot of the mountain along the cliff.

At the foot of Shekou Mountain, there were indeed several spirit gathering formations, covering most of the area.

There was only a small road left between these spirit gathering formations.

"Humph!"

Xia Mingyuan didn't take it seriously last time because he saw a relatively simple spirit gathering formation, and he just forced his way in.

Who knew that Er Gouzi actually hid a phantom formation under the spirit gathering formation, and a trap under the phantom formation.

The same trap was used for the second time. It seems that Zhang Ergou has run out of tricks.

Xia Mingyuan deliberately avoided the locations of those spirit gathering arrays and walked towards the narrow passage in the middle without arrays.

When Xia Mingyuan came, Er Gouzi, who lived on the top of the mountain, had already known about it.

At this moment, he and Zhu'er were lying on the rocks on the top of the mountain and looking down.

After the spiritual energy of Shekou Mountain was restored, Chang Ling'er's ability was greatly enhanced.

Xia Mingyuan had just approached Shekou Mountain when Chang Ling'er sensed it and woke up Er Gouzi.

At this moment, Xia Mingyuan was walking towards the trap in a self-righteous way.

Because he couldn't set up traps under the entire Shekou Mountain, he could only choose a few places.

But there were too few traps, and Xia Mingyuan might not be able to step on them.

So he set up many spirit gathering arrays, leaving passages only in places with traps.

He guessed that Xia Mingyuan had suffered a loss last time, and now seeing the spirit gathering array, he should not force his way in again, and would most likely take a detour.

Xia Mingyuan thought he was walking on a safe path, and suddenly there was another loud noise under his feet.

"Boom!"

Here it comes again!

He was just about to fly up to escape the trap, but unexpectedly, the entire Shekou Mountain moved and fell down on him.
