Domineering

Chapter 200 They Miscalculated Xishan Hall
When Wei Yang woke up from the coma, it was raining outside the window.

Just in the evening, the light in the room was dim and gloomy, which made Wei Yang mistakenly think that he was already in a ghost.

Until a girl dressed as a servant girl walked in holding a copper basin.

Looking at Wei Yang who was awake, she blinked in surprise, then put down the copper basin and ran out in a hurry.

Not long after, Li Shenshan stepped in from the door.

He looked at Wei Yang with a smile: "Are you awake? Tsk, look at your expression, as if you have seen a ghost."

Wei Yang sat up from the bed.

He found that he was still a body of flesh and blood, but his vitality was weaker.

However, all the injuries on his body have been treated, the broken bones have been connected, and the severed tendons have been reattached.

It can be seen that this must have come from the hands of a famous doctor.

This person's technique of connecting bones and renewing veins was excellent, and did not leave any trouble for Wei Yang.

"You are Li Shenshan?" Wei Yang looked at Li Shenshan with a look of disbelief, and then he thought about it: "I remember that I was in Jinyiwei Prison before I fainted. It was Shenshan that you robbed me and rescued me? Thank you so much—" —”

"Thank you!" Li Shenshan sat down by the bed, shook his head, and interrupted Wei Yang's words: "The one who robbed the prison to save you is my family's head, not Li. I'm just a helper at most."

Wei Yang was taken aback when he heard the words: "Master?"

"Chu Xisheng, the master of Iron Banner Gang Xishan!" Li Shenshan nodded slightly, and at the same time pointed to the clothes embroidered with Iron Banner on his body: "You have been in Xiushui County for a long time, you should have heard of Iron Banner Gang, right? As you can see, I am now also a member of the Xishan Hall of the Iron Banner Gang."

Of course Wei Yang had heard of the Iron Banner Gang, but he had never heard of the Iron Banner Gang Xishantang.

Wasn't Xishan Town always controlled by the Haiqing Gang?
This time, it was Liu Dingtang, the head of the Xishan Hall of Haiqing Gang, who attacked the Liu family.

He had heard of Chu Xisheng, the most outstanding young man in Xiushui County in recent years, ranked 60th on the Dongzhou Qingyun List.

How did this person become a hall master?
And Li Shenshan, Captain Zhiguo, the majestic genius, how could he commit himself to a Jianghu gang?
But he immediately thought of the rumors he had heard before he was arrested.

It is said that Shence Capital has been wiped out in Luofeng Mountain.

Wei Yang was startled, and suddenly straightened up: "Li Shenshan, our magic strategy has indeed been destroyed? Also, where is my niece? Since you saved me, how do you know Liu Ruoxi?"

"Hey! It's true that our magic strategy killed nearly [-] brothers in Luofeng Mountain, but it's not annihilation. The [-] robes, the two lieutenants have escaped safely, and now they're just reduced to pieces. This blood debt, we will sooner or later Get it back. Neither Qin Sheng nor the emperor's old man will be happy."

Li Shenshan narrowed his eyes, with a stern look in his eyes, and then smiled: "As for Liu Ruoxi, she is fine. Our hall master killed Liu Dingtang more than [-] years ago and saved her, and now she is also in Xishan Hall , as the accountant in the hall.

Unfortunately, the Zhengyang Martial Art Museum in the city held the "Blood Burning Festival" today, and she was recommended by Jin Yiwei to contact the blood source map pillar and open the blood.The hall master brothers and sisters are also over there. "

Wei Yang couldn't help turning pale when he heard that Shen Ce had died nearly [-] people in Luofeng Mountain.

I only felt pain in my chest, and I was mad with anger and hatred.

Wei Yang was stunned again when he heard the next few sentences, wondering what the hell is this?

The master of Xishan Hall just robbed Jinyiwei prison and rescued him, but Liu Ruoxi was recommended by Jinyiwei to open his blood?
However, he was relieved to hear that the magical strategies were mostly intact and that Liu Ruoxi was also safe and sound.

At this time, Li Shenshan looked Wei Yang up and down again: "By the way, how is your situation now? Can you still hold a knife or a gun?"

"I'm fine." Wei Yang stared inside and sensed for a moment: "The external injury has almost recovered, but the vitality is very weak, but since I wake up, I can recover in a few days at most. Only the battle map on my body Six of them were washed away, but fortunately, Cao Xuan, the bastard, may have proved my identity, so the 'Night Wolf Swallowing the Sun' picture on my chest was not destroyed."

Li Shenshan nodded slightly.

Wei Yang was in a coma for nearly ten days before waking up, which shows the seriousness of his injuries.

However, Wu Xiu's resilience is completely different when he is awake and in a coma.

"You come with me."

He got up and went out, walking towards the main courtyard of the mansion.

Wei Yang looked puzzled, but still followed closely.

After a while, they entered a cellar with extra thick walls and extremely heavy iron doors.

"This is the basement dug by Liu Dingtang to store gold and silver."

Li Shenshan pushed the door open and walked in first.

What was displayed in front of the two of them at this time was some cash and silver piled up in the corner, and a weapon rack with many magical weapons.

"The hall master means that after you wake up, he will hire you as the altar master of the 'Yangzitan' to work for him. The monthly salary is 1000 taels of magic silver, and he can lend you an additional 5000 taels The magic silver is used to draw battle maps. You can also choose five pieces from the seventh-grade magic weapon here, which can be regarded as a loan. I don’t know what you want?"

There are quite a lot of magic tools here, there are seventeen pieces.

Most of them originated from the Battle of Jinyiwei Prison.

At that time, Chu Xisheng carried Wei Yang out of the prison, but after forging Wei Yang's body, he took the risk of packing up and bringing back all the magic weapons left by the Blood Wind Bandit.

These things are worth tens of thousands, and it is a pity to burn them in Beibao Prison.

Wei Yang's eyes froze.

In the south, 5000 taels of magic silver can already draw three very good secret move totems. Although the magic weapons in this house are second-hand, the quality is very good.

It is estimated that this can restore his strength by [-]% to [-]%.

"If it is true as you said, then this hall master can be said to be very loyal, and he will be kind to me and the Liu family niece. He wants to recruit me to work, how can I not know how to praise him?"

Wei Yang clasped his fists, but there was doubt in his eyes: "But Shenshan, you have always been proud and arrogant. Even if you leave Shence City now, there is no reason to work for a Jianghu gang. What's more, with your strength, Shenshan, Being a hall master is more than enough. Why are you willing to bow down here?"

"I also owe someone my life, and I have tens of thousands of taels of silver, and there are other reasons."

Li Shenshan smiled wryly, and unconsciously thought of Chu Yunyun.

When he saw Chu Yunyun for the first time at that time, he almost thought that the girl was his family's great general resurrected to the world, or a reincarnated body.

And the more we get along, the more Li Shenshan feels that Chu Yunyun's gestures and manner of speaking are very much like their family's Overlord.

But in the past few days, Li Shenshan felt that Chu Yunyun was a little different from the general.

He couldn't say exactly what was different, but it felt different anyway.

In fact, Li Shenshan felt that his thoughts were absurd.

His Royal Highness Ba Wu Wang is already 29 years old, but Chu Yunyun is not yet fourteen. How could they be the same person?

Then he put away his thoughts, and instead threw a copper mask and a bottle of pills to Wei Yang: "This is a mask made for you. Your current identity is still shady. Inside the pill bottle are two coins worth Qianliang's three-refinement resurrection pill can help you recover quickly. In the past few days, I will also take a trip to the ancient market and draw the battle map you want."

Li Shenshan focused his eyes, turned around and looked outside the door: "You woke up just in time! This Xishan Town has an undercurrent, and the storm is about to come. There may be a storm in a few days. At that time, we need to rely on you, Wei Yang." Power!"

At this moment, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, illuminating the entire Xishan Town to the last detail.

The cold spring rain also poured down at this moment.

※※※※

Chu Xisheng was wearing a bamboo hat and sitting cross-legged in the 'burning blood courtyard' of Zhengyang Martial Arts Academy under the heavy rain.

This small courtyard is about three mu in square, and it is full of nearly [-] people at this time, which is much more than the previous Shenbingyuan.

In the courtyard stands a huge stone pillar with a circumference of about five feet and a height of twelve feet.

Full of curiosity, Chu Xisheng looked at the many murals painted on the blood source column in front of him.

That is an ancient myth about Pangu.

He is an extremely powerful innate giant god, but he was born from a dragon egg and raised by the ancestor of Yinglong.

He grew up in the chaos, but with his axe, he split the chaos, the heavens and the earth, smashed countless monsters in the chaos, and killed countless innate giant gods.

In the end, Pan Gu died of exhaustion, his eyes, limbs and bones turned into Taihao, the God of Yang; Yue Xi, the God of Yin; Yan Rong, the God of Fire, Xuandi, the God of Ice, and Shi Yin, the God of Stone , 'Water God' Tiangong, 'Wood God' Lingwei, 'Golden God' Baizhu, 'Wind God' Disha and other twelve ancient giant gods.

Pangu's blood turned into the nine sons of the dragon—Jianniu, Yazi, Xiaofeng, Pulao, Suanni, Baxia, Biyan, Negative, and Chiki.

These are Pangu's bloodlines, and they are also the source of all human bloodlines.

The pictures of the twelve giant gods and the nine sons of the dragon are all drawn by experts, and they are all complete and lifelike. It makes people feel that these giant gods and beasts in the pictures are all alive.

They can leave the mural at any time and fly away.

The stone pillar itself is also extraordinary. It is said that it is forged from a large amount of blood essence and bone powder of the ancient giant, mixed with the innate sun god stone.

The Wuxiang Shenzong pours a large amount of "blood of the ancestors" on the legend every year to keep it alive.

Chu Xisheng looked at the mural, but felt an inexplicable feeling.

This mural seems to be missing a part?
A small part of the content has been artificially eliminated, making the whole pattern very discordant and flawed——

Just as Chu Xisheng was concentrating, a familiar female voice sounded behind him.

"The blood source column of the Wuxiang Shenzong has always been the best, and the blood of the ancestor gods has always been used sufficiently."

Lu Luanli came from behind, unceremoniously squeezed and sat down next to Chu Xisheng, and forcibly pushed aside a beautiful young woman sitting next to her.

Then she looked at the picture post in front of her with a slightly admiring gaze: "The gate of Wuxiang Shenzong is in the northern border of Youzhou, and it is adjacent to many giant god races. They fight with the northern alien races every year and kill many giant god races. Extracted from it countless 'blood of the first god'.

It is said that the former Overlord of Martial Arts, Qin Muge, first activated his bloodlines when he was 11 years old. He used this pillar to stimulate all his bloodlines to the fifth level, or even the sixth level.I can't do it anymore. When I was 12 years old, my cultivation had just reached the lower eighth rank.When the bloodline was stimulated for the first time, only three talents were promoted to the fifth level, she was too powerful. "

Lu Luanli clicked his tongue and was amazed by Qin Muge.

The lord, Chu Yunyun, whom she admired, sat cross-legged on the right side of Chu Xisheng.

She watched her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, and turned a deaf ear to Lu Luanli's words.

Chu Xisheng was also expressionless, thinking, Lu Luanli, this girl, is she attacking me at Versailles?
At the age of 12, I cultivated to the lower eighth rank, and some of my bloodlines awakened to the fifth rank—if this is not enough, then am I a scumbag?
But Chu Xisheng was quite happy to hear her talk.

He didn't expect that Lu Luanli would rush back to participate in the "Burning Blood Ceremony" at Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall.

There was nothing strange on Chu Xi's face, she only asked in a low voice with a little curiosity: "I thought you wouldn't come back. By the way, is your Uncle Dong okay? Where is the flag against God? Who will it fall to?" hand?"

Chu Xisheng was very concerned about the whereabouts of the Nishen Banner.

Lu Luanli crossed his arms and looked helpless, "The flagpole and Lie Wang's treasure are still there, how can I leave now? As for Uncle Dong—"

She glanced at the north side with some regret: "He is safe and sound, at least his mind is not confused, and he threw the flag out when the situation was wrong. Now the banner of God Rebellion has fallen into the hands of 'Ghosting'.

This result is not bad. Although Guiying is the 420th in the local list, his escapism can be ranked in the top 20 in the world. The key is that this person has a deep hatred with the imperial court.He debuted for [-] years, and killed [-] officials and generals above the fourth rank.With this person's temperament, even if it is death, he will not let this flag fall into the hands of the imperial court. "

Lu Luanli knew that this was the best result, but still regretted it inexplicably.

She felt that she had missed [-] million taels of magic silver.

Chu Yunyun didn't seem to care, but she kept listening intently.

When she heard the word 'ghost', her expression moved slightly, and her eyes calmed down again.

She had heard of this person, and Ghost Shadow's combat power was mediocre among the third-rank martial artists, but his evasion skills surpassed many first-rank martial arts.

Gui Ying really hated the imperial court, especially the masters.

His bounty has also remained high, and he has been ranked seventh on the black list.

What Chu Yunyun was most worried about before was that the imperial court would obtain the flag and flag, and use high-quality magicians to trace the source and deduce the whereabouts of the flagpole.

But since the flag fell into the hands of the 'Ghost Shadow', Chu Yunyun didn't have to worry about it in a short time.

Chu Xisheng also looked relieved, he had the same thoughts as the second daughter.

As long as the flag does not fall into the hands of the imperial court and demons, then no matter what the situation is acceptable.

"That's a pity."

Chu Xisheng changed his voice immediately, and said with a pleasant smile: "You came back just in time, there is a little trouble in Xishan Town, as the altar owner of the 'Chaotic Word Altar', you should also do something for the hall. Worthy of the salary I give you."

Lu Luanli couldn't help but sneer with a 'huh'.

She hasn't seen the shadow of the salary yet, Chu Xisheng told her to be worthy of the salary?
Lu Luanli had already escaped the excitement period of being promoted to 'Altar Master', and also saw through Chu Xisheng's tricks.

This guy used the false name of 'Altar Master' and a monthly salary of just 400 taels of magic silver to trap her, and let her, a master of the sixth rank, work for him for nothing.

However, Lu Luanli still raised his eyebrows in doubt: "Isn't there Tie Xiaosheng sitting in Xishan? Who dares to trouble you?"

"Tie Xiaosheng can't stay in Xishan all the time, not to mention he can't help with this matter."

Chu Xisheng shook his head, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Just six days ago, the county government had set an amount, and Xishan Town had to pay a land tax of 85 shi and a head tax of 47 people, within a time limit. Pay within the month, otherwise I will be held accountable, the Xishan township official."

In the past, Haiqing helped Xishantang to collect local taxes on behalf of the imperial court.

Now this errand also fell on him.

"47 head tax?" Lu Luanli couldn't help being stunned: "How did the government calculate it? There is also a land tax of 85 shi, which is also an exaggeration."

The poll tax in Daning is one tael per adult.

The population near Xishan Town is relatively dense, but there are not as many as 47 strong men.

There are also fields in Xishan Town, with a total of only 90 mu, of which only one-third is Shangtian.

Lu Luanli narrowed his eyes.

She realized that it must be heading for Chu Xisheng's canal.

In the past, Chu Xisheng was not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet, so he could just hang up his seal and leave, and he didn't bother to answer the county government's reminder.

But now that Chu Xisheng had a canal in his hands, he could no longer ignore the county government.

Once he ignored the taxes, the county government would have a reason to attack the canal.

Lu Luanli sneered, with a disdainful look on his face: "They have a good idea. You can mobilize local relations and reconcile accounts with the county. You can't let them say as much as you want. If the county government refuses, you can share it according to the rich families in the local area. That is, if they have any dissatisfaction, they can go to the county to talk about it."

This is the following forced on.

In previous years, the land tax was also apportioned by Liu Dingtang to the local people and powerful landlords.

The county government could not bear the turbulent sentiment.

"This is a good strategy." Chu Xisheng nodded slightly, with admiration on his face: "The problem is that the wealthy families in Xishan Town are also planning to take a share of my canal, and now they are connecting in private, preparing to resist taxes. The largest in Xishan Town The family of the wealthy family sent me a letter. Either I alone swallow the 85 shi land tax and 47 head tax, or transfer [-]% of the shares of the canal to them."

"Insufficient greed to swallow an elephant!"

Lu Luanli still didn't care: "What are you afraid of? Just kill them! We have five hundred gangs, and six thousand Xishan hunters to drive them away. The local rich people think that my Xishantang's blade is not good?"

But she immediately saw Chu Xisheng's expression was very strange.

Lu Luanli couldn't help but frowned: "Could it be the Orion from Xishan, and something went wrong?"

"There is indeed a problem."

Chu Xisheng nodded, and his expression was calm and calm: "One is a hunter from Xishan who doesn't want to pay any more peace money; If you dare to work for me, don’t even think about hunting in the Western Mountains.”

In fact, Chu Xisheng didn't really want to collect the peace money.

Unlike Liu Dingtang, he just beat Orion to death in the name of protection and safety money.

When Chu Xisheng received a share of the money, he had to take on an additional responsibility to protect the safety of these western mountain hunters.

However, this peace money cannot be directly exempted.

People are all the same, fearing authority but not being virtuous.

If he directly exempts this blood tax, Xishan Orion will not appreciate him, but will only think that he is not strong enough, weak and easy to bully.

Only by establishing enough prestige and exempting from the blood tax can these Xishan hunters truly be grateful to him and be used by him.

If Chu Xisheng wanted to subdue the Xishan Orion, he had to plan carefully and step by step, there was no rush.

"Then it will be troublesome." Lu Luanli's face was solemn: "The people behind this scene are vicious and have everything in their hands. What are you going to do now?"

"Go straight over and kill them until they are convinced."

Chu Xisheng laughed uncontrollably: "Their idea is very good, but they misjudged the current strength of Xishantang. With you here, I am not afraid of anyone. The so-called Pojia county magistrate, I am in the three-acre land of Xishan, and I am like The county magistrate is average. If we don’t destroy a few wealthy families this time, they will think that I, Chu Xisheng, are made of mud?”

The corners of Lu Luanli's lips raised slightly.

She thought that what she said was justified, with herself as a fifth-rank master in combat power, and a hidden master, how dare those jumping beam clowns in Xishan Town dare to be presumptuous?
Lu Luanli didn't notice that Chu Xisheng used the word "you".

At this moment, Ye Zhiqiu, together with the coaches of the other four courtyards, walked to the side of the blood source picture column.

They were on each side, looking solemn.

Lei Yuan stood on one side with his hands behind his back: "Silence! The time has come, and the Burning Blood Festival is about to begin. Are you still not clear-eyed and running your Yuan Gong?"

He was afraid that something like the Shenbing Academy would happen again today, so his eyes were extraordinarily sharp, scrutinizing and observing every suspicious person in the courtyard.

Outside the surrounding courtyard walls, there are still [-] fully armed martial artists waiting, who can enter the courtyard at any time to maintain order.

Chu Xisheng's expression froze, he stopped talking, and concentrated on running the Yangyuan Kungfu.

Liu Ruoxi sat not far behind Chu Xisheng, but kept silent.

But at this moment, a gleam appeared in her eyes, giving birth to strong expectations.

Are you about to start?
In my life, it was the first time I came into contact with the blood source column, and it was the first time I experienced the burning blood ceremony.

The younger sister of the Chu family has already acted as the hall master, and she has been taught the Chu family's secret blood selection technique of the Chu family. I wonder how much blood power can be unearthed this time?
Just when the last ray of light in the sky disappeared and the sky was pouring down with rain.Ye Zhiqiu and the others sacrificed three drops of the 'Blood of the Ancestor God' and hit the pillar of the blood source.

The pillar of the picture instantly ignited monstrous blood flames, emitting a radiance like a small sun, making the whole courtyard suddenly extremely hot, like a furnace.

At the same time, a large amount of blood mist spread out, covering the entire small courtyard.

And the moment the blood mist dissipated, both Chu Xisheng and Liu Ruoxi felt a sharp itching all over their bodies.

There was a crackling sound in their bones, which made them feel cold all over their bodies.

It seems that there are countless demons and ghosts crawling out of their bones, making them feel that their bodies are about to burst, and they are in pain.

The blood all over his body seemed to be on fire, turning into moxibustion hot magma and swimming in his body.

Chu Yunyun and Lu Luanli's reactions were mediocre, and this was not the first time they had come into contact with the Blood Origin Pillar.

However, both of them had excellent acting skills, and they also pretended to be unbearable at this time. Both of their little faces were pale and pale, and they looked extremely painful.

After Chu Xisheng endured the severe pain at the beginning, he followed Ye Zhiqiu's instructions.

He concentrates and concentrates, running the Yangyuan Gong with all his strength - it is said that this helps him stimulate more blood power.

It was not until an hour later that the blood mist gradually dissipated.

When the last drop of blood mist dissipated, Lu Luanli immediately opened his eyes.

The corners of Lu Luanli's lips were slightly raised, and he was in a good mood.

The "Burning Blood Sacrifice" of the Phaseless Sect is indeed the most solid among the six great Sects.

This time, she had a total of three bloodline talents that had been improved, and her strength had increased a bit.

——Although there are only three types, her bloodline talent is already high in rank, so the benefits this time are actually huge, enough to raise her strength by half a rank.

Then Lu Luanli turned his head to the side and looked at Chu Xisheng: "How are you? How many talents have reached the fifth level?"

At this time, Chu Xisheng was looking at his character panel with slightly happy eyes.
