The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 556 Steam Engine

In the quiet room, Fang Xun sat cross-legged on the ground with the Earth Evil Axe placed on his knees.

He had been carefully examining it for a while, but this divine weapon seemed to have automatically restrained all its magical powers. Apart from its hard texture, it did not respond no matter how he examined it.

Fang Xun looked towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains and sighed: "It seems that if we want to find out the secret of the Earthly Evil Axe, we still have to completely take down the Miaojiang King's Court."

At this moment, an ethereal and clear voice sounded in his ears.

"Fang Xun, are you injured?"

As the voice came closer and closer, when the last word fell, Bai Qingmeng's figure appeared in front of Fang Xun.

The girl saw Fang Xun’s pale face and her face was filled with worry.

"Yes, he was injured, but not as serious as it looks."

Fang Xun took the girl's hand and comforted her. As he spoke, his face turned from pale to red and then returned to its rosy color.

"My injury is not serious, it will heal in a day or two, but your injury is..."

At this moment, the celestial girl's clothes were also stained with blood and her face was pale. After Fang Xun grabbed her hand, her face turned slightly red, but she did not resist.

"My injury is not serious. I just need to rest for a few days."

Bai Qingmeng's injuries were caused by the previous fight with Changshengzi.

She had previously teamed up with Quezhou to kill Changshengzi. The whole process did not need to be elaborated on, except that Changshengzi made a desperate attack at the last moment, which caused some injuries to the two of them.

Then Bai Qingmeng's eyes flashed with doubt and asked, "And King Liang, do we really not need to continue chasing him?"

Fang Xun shook his head after hearing this: "No, although King Liang is not our opponent, he has a magical weapon in his hand.

Even if he is pushed to the extreme like Xing Shanlie, sacrificing all of himself to unleash the might of the Extreme Demon Blade, I am not completely sure I can handle it, let alone you, if something happens to you."

Suddenly, a slender jade finger pressed on Fang Xun's lips, interrupting him: "Stop talking, I'll help you heal."

The girl's tone was calm, but there was a hint of shyness in it, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

The two looked at each other, and an ambiguous atmosphere quietly emerged between them.

After a while, their clothes were taken off, their minds were connected, and when their passion reached its peak, the yin and yang complemented each other. Their injuries gradually improved, which proved that working together as a man and a woman is not tiring.

About a hundred miles away, Que Zhou, who was rushing towards Jiangzhou at full speed, suddenly stopped.

He was seen landing on a hilltop and sitting cross-legged, circulating the vital energy in his body.

This Quezhou was not the Quezhou in the martial arts hall, but the body of the rebel clan that Fang Xun obtained after defeating Quezhou.

After obtaining this body, Fang Xun referred to a secret method of clone in the Blood Demon Dao's supreme book "True Blood Divine Art" and injected his own essence and blood into this body.

After a period of time, Fang Xun's essence and blood grew stronger, and Quezhou's physical blood was completely replaced by his, becoming a clone.

Just like how Xue Linlang took over Wan Chensha's body, he used his own essence and blood to parasitize the target's flesh shell, achieving the goal of occupying the target's nest.

At this moment, Fang Xun and Bai Qingmeng were fully immersed in the "discussion of the Dao", which also affected Quezhou.

A trace of the aura of harmony of yin and yang was seen in the air, and Quezhou's injuries began to gradually improve.

At the same time, on the plain at the junction of Lingzhou and Jiangzhou.

"Ah che-"

Yu Jiaolong suddenly sneezed. Somehow, she suddenly thought of Bai Qingmeng and Fang Xunxian who were both in Hongfengkou, and a surge of anger rose in her heart.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, flames swept across the sky. In an instant, a colorful phoenix soared into the sky and flames covered the sky.

Below, there were shouts of killing that shook the sky, and the Chu army was defeated by the Yuewang army and fled away without weapons.

Flames swept across the sky, and one Chu army soldier after another was burned to ashes.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Prince of Yue's Palace were immediately energized and their attack became even more fierce.

Three days later, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up in Jianye City, and the scorching sun slowly climbed up the blue sky.

Outside the city, a group of birds were seen chirping and playing while looking for food.

From time to time, you can see voles crawling out of the freshly turned land, and then being swallowed by wild cats.

The earthworms wriggle and stir the moist soil, giving off a fresh smell after the rain.

Suddenly, a series of shrill roars sounded in the fields, causing the birds to fly away, the voles to return to their holes, the wild cats to quickly run into the grass, and even the earthworms, feeling the slight tremor in the earth, also desperately burrowed into the ground.

I saw lush sweet potatoes everywhere on the neat fields.

It turned out to be several steam tractors rumbling through the fields. The soil was turned over wherever they passed, branches were uprooted, the stems and leaves of the branches were cut off and thrown aside for the time being, and the plump sweet potatoes were picked up and loaded onto trucks.

Behind each tractor, there are dozens of farmers carrying baskets on their backs. They throw the sweet potatoes from the tractors into the baskets, their faces filled with the joy of harvest.

It is July, the hot summer month, but it is also the season when some potato crops ripen.

The people's faces were filled with joy, and their eyes were full of anticipation for the future.

Now the heavy rents and various exorbitant taxes are gone, the government has also reduced the grain tax, and their own children are studying and learning martial arts in public schools.

They didn't think their children would achieve anything great through studying, but it was a different story if they learned martial arts.

It is actually very simple to stand out in this world. If you practice martial arts and build up your strength, you can naturally achieve class transition easily.

In a small village, even acquired warriors are rare, but now their own children can easily cross this threshold, which is something they had never dared to think about before.

While enjoying the joy of harvest, hundreds of villagers in the fields also feel that their future lives are becoming more and more promising.

In the distance, on the official road a hundred feet away, a convoy of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages was moving slowly forward.

In one of the carriages, the driver half-closed his eyes and manipulated the reins lazily but skillfully.

On a scorching hot summer day, there were few pedestrians on the official road, so the coachmen slowed down and let the horses walk at a leisurely pace.

In one of the carriages, Zhen Yangzi stared deeply at the huge lumps of metal running across the fields outside the window.

Looking at these big, black and thick lumps of iron, Zhen Yangzi was amazed.

"The power of this device is so terrifying. Even a Yin Shen master who goes to the field himself may not be able to defeat this one."

Of course, Zhen Yangzi also knew that the idea of ​​asking Master Yin Shen to work in the fields himself was just a joke.

But what lies behind these steam tractors, which can do farm work as well as a Yin Shen master, is terrifying if you think about it carefully.

Machines replace human labor, bringing about a qualitative change in productivity and thus bringing about huge wealth.

Not only that, but you can also harvest rich population resources.

Combined with the public schools and examination system of the Prince of Yue's Palace, Zhen Yangzi's eyes changed when he looked at those steam tractors.

Farmers no longer have to work hard in the fields every day. In their spare time, they can chat with other farmers who have similar free time, find part-time jobs to earn more money, or read books and practice martial arts.

This will improve the overall quality of the population under the jurisdiction of the Prince of Yue's Palace.

Against this huge base, those geniuses who come from poor backgrounds and whose talents are buried due to the suffocating pressure of life will also stand out.

In a few years, the proportion of martial arts masters in Jiangnan will far exceed that of other places.

Soon, Zhen Yangzi realized this, and he knew that there must be more profound things here that he could not see.

Thinking of this, a gleam of complacency flashed in his eyes.

"Now that the King of Chu and the King of Miao have joined forces to attack, the Prince of Yue's Palace can be said to be surrounded by external enemies, but as long as we pass this level, the future will be smooth!"
