Ruins of the past

An abandoned inn more than thirty miles north of Longshe Mountain.

Grandma Sun's grandson, 'Sun Xian', who has turned into an immortal, opened his eyes and sighed: "It's a pity that neither the Baiyang Sect nor the Holy Fire Sect are willing to cooperate with us. My immortal body has not done all my work, otherwise This time, Dragon Snake Mountain will not just be closed for three months.”

At this moment, 'Sun Xian' looks full of vitality and energy, just like any healthy and lively child, with nothing strange at all.

This is the appearance of a truly undead person, who will gradually turn into a living corpse after countless deaths.

Next to 'Sun Xian', a girl with blond hair and blue eyes said: "Master, haven't you completed your immortal body yet?"

'Sun Xian' shook his head: "According to my divination skills, this body's fate was extremely poor, and it was also affected by the Feng Shui evil spirit of Qingyang County. It would suffer a brutal death this year, and then the resentment would skyrocket. It is a fine furnace.

But he fell into the water and died. Although he died suddenly, the resentment in his heart was far less than I expected. "

"What went wrong?"

…

September, the fifteenth year of Yong'an.

The imperial censor Li Xian was ordered to inspect Jiubian Military Town, clearing farmland, checking military pay, and reforming horse administration.

As a result, the soldiers mutinied. Not only did the governor Li Xian be seriously injured, but the censor even impeached Li Xian for killing the people, exploiting the gentry, and embezzling soldiers' pay in the name of clearing his father-in-law's farmland, forcing the soldiers to rebel.

In the end, Li Xian was exiled to the army, and the soldiers who led the mutiny were all executed afterwards. Only all policies remained the same, and the Jiubian Military Town seemed to be still the same as before.

…

Chu Qiguang, who has been building Yaoyin Village these days, listened to the information from Qiao Zhi and sighed: "Arrogant and arrogant, not knowing how to advance or retreat. Those heads in Jiubian Army Town are really used to being earth emperors, and they have no brains. Yes, they are dead."

Qiao Zhi glanced at Chu Qiguang in surprise: "You can also guess this? They have two great martial arts gods. Now people inside and outside the court are saying that Mr. Wu Ge made a bad move and forced Jiubian too much."

Chu Qiguang said: "The governor is a feudal official. Beating the governor and causing the soldiers to mutiny must have touched the bottom line of Emperor Yong'an. Even if we temporarily compromise to stabilize them now, we will never let them go in the future. You say Tell me, how did they die in the end?"

Qiao Zhi told what he knew, and Chu Qiguang's eyes became clear: "That's it. Wu Siqi knew that the Jiubian Army was unruly, so he deliberately sent Li Xian to hit his head and bleed him."

"This can make Emperor Yong'an completely give up on Jiubian and make up his mind to reform the military town. On the other hand, it can make Jiubian more arrogant. In the future, he will take advantage of each other in the mutual trade and make enemies on all sides."

Chu Qiguang pinched his chin and thought: "Wu Siqi knows that Jiubian is deeply rooted, and the wealthy families in the north are inextricably linked to them, so he has no intention of successfully reforming Jiubian now."

"What he thinks is that after a year or two of mutual trade, many wealthy families in the north will benefit from this trade and form new interest groups, so that they can turn against the Nine Sides for the benefit of trade, and he can use his strength to fight against them.

A year or two later, he himself had suppressed dissidents, promoted cronies, and completely controlled the court.

When the time comes, everyone from the emperor to the court to the local government will be involved in the Jiubian Military Town. He will follow the trend and do it in one fell swoop.

The money Jiubian earned in the next two years was equivalent to the money that the imperial court temporarily deposited with them. "

Qiao Zhi listened to Chu Qiguang's analysis and said blankly, "Ah? Is that so?"

"In a year or two, I should be able to participate." Chu Qiguang thought about the situation in the north, and his eyes swept over the Yaoyin Village in front of him.

It has been more than a month since he moved to Yaoyin Village with more than 60 monsters.

In the first ten days, Chu Qiguang spent time here almost every day.

At first, more than 60 monsters were quite hostile to the 15 old people from Nanjian Village. However, after Chu Qiguang inspired the old people to become monsters, the monsters regarded the old people as monsters and got along peacefully.

Although the old people had seen Chu Qiguang's appearance, they did not know Chu Qiguang's identity. After seeing Chu Qiguang's demonized appearance, they followed the other monsters in calling him Master Tongtian.

Under the leadership of Chu Qiguang, the old people led more than 60 monsters to officially start reclaiming wasteland.

The farmland area selected at the beginning was explored and selected by the old people and Jin Ji.

The old people were all veterans of farming, and Jin Ji’s farming skills he learned in Da Zhu were even better than theirs. He quickly selected a place in the basin as a target for land reclamation.

The physical strength of the monsters is already good. After the old people were enhanced by the Heavenly Demon Foundation Building Technique, they were even taught the Heavenly Spirit Body Building Fist by Chu Qiguang.

They are not required to have any fighting ability. They are only required to be able to display their martial arts in their work, which not only increases their efficiency but also has the effect of cultivation.

Qiao Zhi watched the old people go down with hoes to loosen the topsoil and remove weeds. Every move had the charm of martial arts luck. It not only exercised in the work, but also improved the efficiency of the work. He shook his head with emotion: "This is It’s martial arts... but it’s more pleasing to the eye to farm.”

But in fact, the monsters at the beginning were not interested in farming. This was a habit developed from generation to generation and for countless years. Except for Jinji from Dazhu, none of these monsters had the habit or tradition of farming.

So while Chu Qiguang was cooking meat and rice, he decreed that the thirty monsters who cut down the most trees every day could eat as much meat as they wanted, while the remaining monsters could only nibble on flour cakes and wild vegetables.

It was related to the excitement of whether they could eat meat, and the dog monsters such as the old-fashioned and the little soil took the lead, which immediately greatly increased the enthusiasm of the monsters.

Next, Chu Qiguang continued to use food to guide the monsters to cut down trees, weed, and loosen the soil, just like when training Baimi and the others, so that they would gradually become accustomed to obtaining food through their own labor.

Then Chu Qiguang began to teach the monsters to count, and divided them into five groups, with three old men in each group leading more than ten monsters.

The next step is to rank the five working groups according to their daily workload. The top three can eat enough meat, while the bottom two can only eat white flour and wild vegetables.

A few days later, Chu Qiguang let them choose their own group leaders. In order to be able to eat meat, each group selected the old man who could best improve their efficiency.

Next, Chu Qiguang began to set up assessments, performance, rewards and punishments... With the stimulation of food, the supervision of the Chongming Bird, and the guarantee of force, the efficiency of the monsters began to increase exponentially.

They began to divide their labor into different tasks such as logging, preparing land, building shacks, cooking, collecting excrement, etc.

According to Jinji’s subsequent plan, composting, collecting plant ash, and digging ditches for irrigation are still needed to prepare for the next sowing.

During this step-by-step guidance, the monsters became more and more accustomed to dividing labor, cooperating, and working and eating together.

While watching, Qiao Zhi cursed in his heart: 'The evil performance has finally arrived...'

Next, Chu Qiguang began to distribute the living corpses... Each work group was assigned a few living corpses. He watched the living corpses being put on the plow, and then the smaller harpies in the group led them to start plowing. Behind the ground, Chu Qiguang had already made up his mind about the thousands of living corpses in Meishan.

At the same time, he wanted more and more to catch an immortal demon and learn how to control living corpses.

Zheng Sanshui, the head of Nanjian Village who had taken the elixir, had also appeared among them, and the Heavenly Demon Foundation Establishment Technique could not prevent the elixir from changing him.

Qiao Zhi recalled in his mind the scene before the other party completely turned into a living corpse. It was obviously just a death that could be seen everywhere in this world, but Chu Qiguang took it seriously and asked all the monsters to gather.

…

"Zheng Lichang, your situation has reached its limit. I want to ask you now, do you want to be cremated or buried after death, or do you want to continue to exist as a living corpse and continue to contribute to the village?"

Of course, Zheng Sanshui had already made a choice about this. To him and the old people in Nanjian Village, living corpses were not scary, and even represented some kind of hope. He manipulated the consciousness that was gradually heading towards chaos, murmuring Said: "Let me continue to accompany the children..."

"Zheng Lichang's spirit will remain in his body and he will continue to fight for the construction of the village. Please respect his self-dedication! He will still burn himself to illuminate the village until he dies. This is The will to die in our Yaoyin Village!"

"Wherever death flies, corpses continue to grow. Corpses will continue to illuminate the village and allow new life to take root."
