Under the light of the fire.
Zhang Feng realized that the spirit of the mountain god was gone, so he turned around and looked at the crowd, "The mountain god of Qiguang County is stubborn and incompetent. He deceives the people with his demonic words, and he has been punished for several crimes of harming the common people."
Zhang Feng took out a card in his hand and threw it into the flames, "Today, I have been sentenced to death by this county at the second quarter of Shenshi."
wow—
Everyone bowed down in unison, and no one said anything about the mountain god.
Because what they saw and heard today has already let them know who is in charge of Qiguang County and who is the god of Qiguang County.
To put it bluntly, even the gods were sentenced by magistrate Zhang, so what's the difference between them?
But in fact, they also knew that Magistrate Zhang was standing up for them.
Otherwise, when the mountain god scolded Zhang Feng angrily, they would not have risked their lives to beg for mercy for their county magistrate.
It's just that gods are gods after all. Although they are dissatisfied with the mountain god's inaction, they have been worshiping for a hundred years and for several generations, and they are always a little scared innately.
Dare to speak out.
"In the future, there is no need to come to the mountain temple for worship in the early spring." Zhang Feng passed by the worshiping people and walked down the mountain. "If there is no rain, I will ask for rain. If there is no food, I will ask the court for food. If there is Disaster, I, Zhang Feng, took the lead to stop the disaster for this county."
"Thank you sir!"
After hearing Zhang Feng's words, the common people knelt and bowed excitedly, which was also combined with the affairs of the God of Mountains and the treasurer of Chuxing, making them feel that County Magistrate Zhang must be a good official who keeps his word.
Whether it can be done or not is irrelevant.
Who could have predicted what God said.
But also after this incident.
Several old people in the county next to the temple saw Master Zhang leave, then looked at the burnt ashes of the temple, looked at each other, chatted a few words, reached a consensus, and explained to a young man beside him.
Also that afternoon.
The sawed trees were transported from the bottom of the mountain by the people together.
The people on the mountain are cleaning the ruins.
On the next morning, a statue very similar to Zhang Feng was placed in the newly built old temple.
The temple has also taken on a new look, and there is no sign of it being burned down by the fire yesterday.
It is also due to the excellent physique of the people in this world, coupled with the concerted efforts of everyone, it is enough to build a temple in one night.
At the same time, the people who come here and prepare to worship the mountain god are also curious when they see this statue. I don’t know where the old mountain god statue is?
The people who were waiting here all the time began to explain what happened yesterday.
These things are organized by themselves.
For Zhang Feng, the county magistrate of Qiguang County, a statue of meritorious deeds was erected.
Not only that, they are also planning to spread these things widely, so that outsiders will know that Zhang Feng, the magistrate of Qiguang County, is a master of the blue sky who makes decisions for the people!
at the same time.
Around nine o'clock this morning.
Zhang Feng, who was practicing in the mansion, also suddenly felt a lot of strange energy coming towards him from all directions in the county.
As the people spread the news about their deeds, many people in the county are grateful to themselves and pray sincerely.
The place with the strongest energy is on that mountain.
Looking around with Zhang Feng's divine sense, when he saw his statue in the newly built temple, he knew that this energy should be called 'Incense'.
Moreover, I have ghost capital fragments, which can completely remove and purify the impurities in the incense.
After the incense entered his body, it was completely absorbed by the Nascent Soul's breath, and turned into a "small cauldron" in the palm of his hand, also like a "small incense burner", which became a part of his visualization of the Nascent Soul, perfectly integrated without any barriers.
If this incense is converted into aura, it should be equivalent to one percent of the daily supply of Ghost Capital Shards.
Although the number is a bit small, far inferior to the spiritual energy provided by the ghosts, but the formation of the small cauldron has made his Nascent Soul more substantial.
Including the condensing speed of aura, it is also faster because of Xiao Ding.
This is because the small cauldron can not only 'refine' spiritual energy, but also use the power of incense to open up tiny meridians in one's body.
But before that, these meridians did not exist in the body.
Zhang Feng thought about it, and it could only be attributed to another system of cultivation methods.
The specific practice is to broaden the incense, and then nourish it with the spirit.
To put it simply, the formation of the small cauldron has improved one's aptitude again, and the upper limit of spiritual energy that can be absorbed per day has increased.
It can also be said that he has an extra aura to speed up his cultivation for no reason.
The premise is to guard the power of incense in this county and deal with the matter of the city lord and Wanlinmen.
Zhang Feng thought about it, calculated the time, and felt that the city lord and the others should get the news.
The next step is to see what they say.
Also over time.
With the news of the mountain temple spreading, and the verbal letter from the policeman was delivered to Huaihe City thousands of miles away.
At noon on the third day.
Huaihe City.
In the study in the city lord's mansion.
Wait for a servant to retreat.
The majestic middle-aged man sitting next to the desk, his eyes flickering slightly, was thinking about the affairs of Qiguang County.
And this person is the prefect of Huaihe City.
Moreover, his spirit, energy, and spirit have also been condensed to the peak, and he is only one step away from stepping into the realm of a great martial arts master.
The great master is also roughly analogous to the 'Yuanying'.
As for the specific division of martial arts, Zhang Feng's comparison is based on the levels in the Great Thousand World.
That is, "innate" in martial arts roughly corresponds to "foundation" in cultivation.
A master is like a golden elixir.
Great Master, Nascent Soul.
Heaven and man, transforming gods.
Vientiane, hole virtual.
Broken, over the catastrophe.
Crossing Tribulation and Shattering are also the upper limit of the seventh-order world.
Today, the city lord is the peak of the master.
"Lord Prefect"
While the city lord was thinking, an old voice came from outside the study.
"Go in." The city lord withdrew his thoughts and straightened his body.
With the sound of the door opening, a Jindan cultivator who looked around sixty walked in, and sat down opposite the city lord familiarly.
The city lord knew the old man, even an acquaintance, and knew that he was an elder of Wanlinmen.
At the same time, the elder sat down at the table, without any unnecessary nonsense, he cut straight to the point: "My Wanlinmen's ancient temple was demolished, did the magistrate hear about it?"
"The elder is invited to come over today to discuss this matter." The city lord pushed him a cup of tea, looking very polite.
Because the city lord has many contacts with Wan Linmen, and there is also a 'business' transaction.
This business is decided by the city lord, who 'sends' Qiguang County to let the masters of Wanlinmen heal their wounds.
On the contrary, Wanlinmen must ensure that they will not cause trouble in the Huaihe City boundary, and will give a batch of spirit stones to the city lord every year.
These batches of spirit stones are used to train soldiers, or for ministers to practice.
These are all things that the imperial court and the cultivation sect acquiesce to, but don't say clearly.
It has always been like this.
At least this is the case for the Huaihe city lord. Over the years, relying on the offerings of various sects to distribute salaries, he solved the pressure on the military pay of the [-] troops in Huaihe city for the court, and was praised by many ministers in the court.
Such a mutually beneficial matter, no one is going to investigate.
Unless the city lord is stupid and exposes Qiguang County's affairs in front of everyone and tells all his deeds.
No one can save him if he hits the gun like this.
At least the court can't let him go.
"This year's Lingshi, my sect will deliver it as promised."
The elder didn't think too much about it, instead he took the tea, looked at the city lord decisively, and asked, "But Qiguang County, which is under the prefect's lord, should I give my sect an explanation for this matter?"
The elder said, sipping tea with lowered eyebrows, "Otherwise, my sect will do it myself and get rid of this person."
Chapter 235 Contradictory!
"Magistrate Zhang was recommended by Mr. Lin of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Mr. Lin is a student of the current university."
The lord put down the teacup,
"And a year ago, I received a recommendation from Mr. Lin, asking me to arrange a position for Zhang Feng in this city.
I didn't want to keep Zhang Feng, but an outsider, and because of this, I dragged it out for a whole year.
It's just that some time ago, something like that happened to Magistrate Hong, and the post of magistrate of Qiguang County was vacated.
Master Lin sent another letter to persuade me that I was also busy with military drills that day and had no time to spare, so I casually responded and asked Zhang Feng to take over for the time being. "
The city lord shook his head, "Who would have thought, something happened. If I had known, I should have met this person first."
"The killing of the magistrate of Hong County by the big demon did indeed happen in our Wanlin Gate boundary." The elder suddenly smiled and slowed down his tone, "Don't blame me, Lord Zhifu, we are investigating.
It's just that the big monster has the ability to change shape, so it's hard to track down.Especially since it was active some time ago, it has attracted the attention of many sects.
If you want to find it now, I am afraid it will be difficult to find it in this city.”
"There are indeed countless such big monsters." The city lord closed his eyes slightly, "If you can't find it, you can't find it. It's just that it murdered a county magistrate this time, and our court must show some majesty. I heard , The prime minister dispatched the cabinet 'Master Zhou', and temporarily appointed Lord Zhou as the governor of the East to thoroughly investigate the matter."
Hearing this, the elder of the "Eastern Governor" thought for a while, and suddenly said: "This time, the old Taoist will not go to Qiguang County. The full power is left to the magistrate, and I hope the magistrate will not let me go. Lin Men is embarrassed."
The elder said that he was not afraid of Mr. Zhou, but the word 'governor'.
Because the 'Governor' in the imperial court of this world is equivalent to the imperial envoy, who checks the city lords in various places under his jurisdiction.
The governor of the east is to cover the imperial court to the east, twelve big cities.
Huaihe City is one of them.
This kind of power, this kind of official position and power is comparable to the highest prosecutor, who has the highest power to picket corruption, temporarily remove him, and can forcibly detain the city owner.
is also like this.
Wan Linmen didn't want to cause this trouble.
After all, as long as the governor is involved, plus the appointment by the prime minister's office, then this is a "family matter" of the imperial court.
According to the contract between the prime minister and the sects a few years ago, they cannot interfere.
Their Wanlin Sect was not a big sect either, so they really didn't dare to talk nonsense, let alone go find Zhang Feng again when Governor Dong arrived.
"That's how it should be." Hearing that the elder didn't go, the city lord thought it was right and replied, "I'll discuss the follow-up gains and losses with the elder when this matter comes to light."
"Then trouble the city master." The elder got up and smiled and took out a piece of mutton fat jade from his pocket, "My family head heard that the city master will step into the realm of a great master recently, so I have prepared a piece of jade for the old man to give it to me personally. Come."
"Elder, you're welcome." The city lord took it with a smile at this time, and suddenly talked about Zhang Feng's matter: "I didn't want to leave Zhang Feng as the county magistrate of Qiguang County. Now that the Eastern Governor is coming, I just want to Go meet Zhang Feng for a while, test his moral character, and then talk to Governor Dong about this matter."
"Trouble the city lord!" The elder clasped his fists in thanks.
The city lord clasped his fists in return, "I should thank the head for my kindness."
After the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the matter was settled like this
Time passed unconsciously.
