Ugly Cultivation Notes

Chapter 130

Fearing that his answer would dissatisfy the immortal master, Li Zheng hurriedly added.

"But don't worry, Immortal Master. I will rebuild it tomorrow, and I will surely make this new Chasi even bigger and more majestic than before. If the Immortal Master doesn't dislike it, you can stay in the humble house for now."

No wonder I didn't find the inspector. It turns out that Yang County doesn't exist at all.

Xu Chunniang shook her head, "No need, I'll take care of the inspector's affairs."

After speaking, he turned and left directly.

Li Zheng hurriedly got up and gave chase, shouting as he ran, "Master Immortal, don't hurry away, Master Immortal..."

However, with a tonnage of nearly two hundred catties, he was out of breath and sweating profusely after running two steps, so how could he catch up.

Xu Chunniang left the county government office, thinking hard about where the procuratorate should be located.

The original intention of Xiaoyao Sect to send disciples to the ordinary world is to defend the order of the righteous way and eliminate evil and heretics;

However, as the spiritual energy in this world became thinner and thinner, it was difficult for monks to practice Taoism, and many things gradually deviated from their original intentions.

Thousands of years ago, those disciples who chose to send missions were all the best in the outer sect.

They have top-notch minds and take it as their duty to kill demons and defend the way. Even if they don't need foundation building pills, there are many people who can build foundations.

But with the continuous consumption of the spirit stone veins, the aura of heaven and earth began to decay, slowly turning into the current situation.

When the five major sects select their disciples, they also pay more and more attention to their innate spiritual roots, because cultivating a monk, the better the spiritual root aptitude, the less resources will be consumed.

Three Foundation Establishment Pills can give disciples with double spiritual roots a half chance to establish a foundation.

But if the three spirit root disciples were replaced, the probability would be less than [-]%.

If you change to a disciple with four spiritual roots, or even five spiritual roots, the probability of foundation establishment will drop again and again.

In this situation of increasingly scarce resources, the sect naturally paid more attention to the spiritual root talents of its disciples.

Xu Chunniang regained her senses, withdrew her wandering thoughts, and decided to set up the Chasi on a hill a few miles west of Yang County.

This position will not be too close to the county town, which will interfere with her practice, and if there are evil cultivators or monsters in the county town, she can rush there to deal with them in time.

After finding the location, Xu Chunniang went directly from the county to find some people to build the house.

Li Zheng rushed over after hearing the news, and looked at the place where construction had already started, beating his feet and chest.

"Since the immortal master is in need, why don't you find me, I will definitely make this place a beautiful place."

Xu Chunniang glanced at Li Zheng, "As the parent officer of Yang County, you are very free."

The fat on Li Zheng's body trembled slightly, and he finally felt that the immortal master didn't seem to like him.

He forced a smile on his face, "Where. As a county magistrate, I am diligent in governing and I am very busy. But the establishment of the procuratorate is about Guan Xianshi, so it's a big deal."

Seeing that Xu Chunniang didn't respond, Li Zheng was bored, afraid that he would make the immortal master even more disgusted if he stayed any longer, so he left in despair.

Xu Chunniang paid enough wages and hired a lot of people, but after ten days, the new procuratorate was finally built.

Not surprisingly, this is where she will stay for the next ten years.

Xu Chunniang lived in the Inspectorate and did not rush to practice. Instead, she spent some time visiting the entire Yang County.

During this visit, she really saw the poverty of Yang County.

The livelihood of the people living in the county is already difficult, but the villages under the jurisdiction of the county are even more difficult.

There is no other reason. Yang County is dry and hot all year round, crops are difficult to grow, and it cannot support so many people.

Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, and after patrolling around, although there were no monsters or evil cultivators in Yang County, the lives of the people were still in dire straits.

Looking at the dry wheat field in front of her, she casually cast a spirit rain technique.

The rain as thin as a hair condensed in the air, and then drifted down on the fields.It only lasted for a short while, and no new spiritual rain appeared.

The amount of rain was less than half of normal.

Xu Chunniang was thoughtful, and when she cast the spell just now, she felt that the surrounding aura was extremely thin, only one-tenth of that of the Xiaoyao Sect's outer sect.

Among them, the water aura is even thinner to a rare degree.

Relatively speaking, the number of only fire aura is slightly larger.It is about twice as much as the aura of gold, wood, and earth.

I don't know if these are related to the abnormal weather in Yang County.

In some cases, the amount of five-element aura is indeed different, and I don't know what happened in Yang County, which caused the current situation where the aura of water almost disappeared.

And this situation seems to have been going on for a long time now.

After returning, Xu Chunniang went straight to the ceremony room in the back hall of the county yamen, and found the county annals to read.

But after reading several county chronicles, I couldn't find the answer.It seems that Yang County has been like this for nearly a hundred years.

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Li Zheng hurried over and spoke with a smile.

"What the Immortal Master is looking for, you might as well ask the lower official. The lower official is a Jinshi. I dare not say that he has the talents of the world, but he knows a thing or two about the history of the county."

Xu Chunniang glanced at him in surprise when she heard this, but she couldn't tell that this tall and fat county magistrate was actually a scholar.

Li Zheng smiled a little embarrassedly, "When I was young, I was poor and often suffered from hunger, so I accidentally ate too much."

Xu Chunniang pondered for a while, but she did not refuse, "Let me ask you, do you know that Yang County is dry, hot and rainless, when did it start?"

Li Zheng thought about it, "It probably happened hundreds of years ago? At least 200 years ago. I remember reading a miscellaneous book when I was young. It said that Yang County was originally an extremely prosperous place, but I don’t know what happened later, it became what it is now.”

Xu Chunniang lowered her eyes and said nothing. If it really has a history of hundreds of years, then it's no wonder she couldn't find the reason in these county annals.

She looked up at Li Zheng, "Then do you know why Yang County changed?"

"I don't know that."

Li Zheng added with some embarrassment, "However, if you search the county chronicles, you may be able to find some clues."

Xu Chunniang scanned the five or six county chronicles on the table, frowning slightly.

"But I have read all these county chronicles, and there is no mention of them in a single sentence."

Li Zheng waved his hand, "That's not what I'm talking about. These are the county annals in recent years, so naturally there won't be relevant records. I'm talking about the earlier county annals."

Xu Chunniang's heart moved slightly, "Are those county chronicles still there?"

Li Zheng nodded, "Of course they are there, but they have been covered up in dust due to the age. If the immortal master wants to see them, I will ask someone to move them here."

Following Li Zheng's order, dozens of county annals were found.

These county chronicles are well preserved, but due to the age, the pages of these books have turned yellow and are covered with dust.

There are many cases of damage of varying degrees, such as moth-eaten, missing pages, and missing pages.

I don't know if there is anything she wants in it.
