polar demon

Chapter 49

Outside the manor, on the tea mountain, the tea pickers invited by Boss Cai are already busy.

But Boss Cai was frowning in the living room in the manor:
"Ma'am, you are a good housekeeper, and you gave me some advice. Then Jiang Butou is here, should I give this gift or not?"

Madam just got up and finished washing, she took a sip of tea, and then looked at Boss Cai in disbelief:

"Sanggong, have you been working outside for nothing all these years? How can we let him return empty-handed when a dignified arrester comes to our house? What if someone complains that you don't understand the rules, what will you do if you are embarrassed in the future?"

Boss Cai sighed and said:

"Madam is right, but two days ago, someone gave Jiang Butou a big gift. What happened? The next day, Jiang Butou came to his door and beat him to death!"

"Huh?" Madam was startled, "There are such people who turn their faces and deny people in this world?"

Boss Cai sighed:

"Isn't it? If I don't give it away, I will be missed; if I give it away, I might be beaten to death. What do you think I should do?"

Madam smiled:
"The county magistrate is still your cousin after all, and Jiang Butou works in the Yamen, so he will never make things difficult for his cousin who is an official."

The worry between Boss Cai’s brows still hasn’t resolved:

"Ma'am, do you know who the gift-giver who was beaten to death by Jiang Butou was?"

Madam raised the teacup to her lips and asked without thinking:
"Who is it?"

Boss Cai popped out:

"The head of the Dahe Gang, Di Xudong!"

"Bang!" Madam's teacup slipped from her hands and fell to pieces on the ground.

She looked at Boss Cai with astonishment and surprise, unable to believe what she just heard.

The Dahe Gang, that is half the sky of Yangcheng.Di Xudong is the most feared person in Yangcheng, even the county lieutenant Zhou Cunjian who holds real power dare not be rude to him.

As for the county magistrate who doesn't have much real power, compared with Di Xudong, his rank is even lower.

Such a powerful person was beaten to death because of this kind of thing?
Boss Cai became more and more sad:
"He even dared to beat Di Xudong to death. It's hard to say whether he will sell the county magistrate's face or not. Hey, why did that murderous Jiang Butou come to my house?"

The madam froze on her seat, and a cloud of sorrow climbed between her black eyebrows.

A little farther away from the living room is an exquisite tea house.

In the tea house, no matter the tables and chairs, the arrangement or the tea sets, they are all elegant and precious.

This place is used by Boss Cai to entertain distinguished guests and fight tea with various tea merchants.At the beginning of construction, a large amount of silver was invested, which is worth a lot.

But at this time, the tea house was occupied by Jiang Yuan and Lu Junsheng.

The fragrance of green tea is accompanied by curling steam, lingering in the beams of the room.

Lu Junsheng was sitting on the futon, pouring tea for Jiang Yuan:

"Brother Jiang, have you ever heard of 'Eternal Fog'?"

After rescuing the middle-aged man and reuniting their family, the two chatted in the tea house.

Jiang Yuan also decided to skip work all morning to communicate more with Lu Junsheng.

After all, Jiang Yuan has only met three people with the power of inheritance so far.

Yan Gudao is dead, and Fei Qingquan is a veteran in the officialdom, and only from Lu Junsheng can he get some information he wants to know.

Just listen to Lu Junsheng continue to say:
"'Eternal Fog' can be said to be the biggest secret in this world. Whenever it appears, it is in a place where living people gather, or in a village, or a town, or a city. After nightfall, a mysterious thick fog will cover the surroundings, The people inside can’t get out, and outsiders will be lost if they enter rashly. After one night, the living people inside will die, the houses will be destroyed, and it will be reduced to ruins and wasteland.”

Jiang Yuan is someone who has experienced it. He pretended not to know and asked:
"What the hell is it?"

Lu Junsheng shook his head and said:
"No one knows what it is, and no one knows when it began to appear. It has existed since historical records, and it will reappear in the world every few years. For the people in the place where it appeared, That's disaster."

Jiang Yuan took a sip of tea, he asked about the power of inheritance in this world, but he didn't expect Lu Junsheng to mention the eternal fog.

However, he also listened patiently. Lu Junsheng must have his reasons for saying this.

Just listen to Lu Junsheng continue to say:
"After several generations of research and the sacrifice of countless strong men, the predecessors have finally figured out some information about the Eternal Fog. Not only have they mastered the method of deducing the time and place of its occurrence, but they have also figured out its purpose—that is, to use Living people were sacrificed, so it is also called the 'sacrifice field'."

"Oh." Jiang Yuan nodded.

Lu Junsheng went on to say:

"The same unsolvable mystery as the sacrificial field is the 'artifact'. Who made the artifact and why it came from is also a mystery since ancient times. Because it has incredible power, it is called an artifact. At the beginning , although the world discovers the divine weapon, but not only cannot control it, but will be harmed by it. All this, until the first batch of strong men who understand the mystery of the sacrificial field."

Having said that, Lu Junsheng stood up and looked at the lush tea hills outside the tea house:
"Through the comprehension of the sacrificial field, those ancient strong men finally found a way to use the divine weapon. They built formations and buildings that functioned as the divine weapon, and gained power from them, which is the 'ancestral temple'. This The first batch of strong men also became the original princes.

In order to continue this power for the benefit of their descendants, the strong used secret methods to turn themselves into ghosts and seal them in the ancestral temple Zhongze quilt for their descendants when they were dying. This is the 'ancestor ghost'.

Later generations imitated the "sacrifice field" and performed living sacrifices every year, so that the power of inheritance in their own blood would not be exhausted.There has been a system since ancient times: five temples for the son of heaven, three temples for princes, and one temple for the emperor, and common people are not allowed to build temples.In fact, the number of temples is related to the number of artifacts obtained.

Afterwards, there were many ways to imitate the "sacrifice field" to gain power, but none of them could be compared with the aristocratic family with the artifacts of the ancestral temple.

Ordinary people and warriors will never be able to kill ghosts and noble families.Only the ghosts and the noble family can kill each other.So in this world, a society has been formed in which the noble families and ghosts are the upper class, and ordinary people and warriors are the lower class.

These are the essence of this world. "

After Jiang Yuan listened, he straightened up and looked directly at Lu Junsheng:

"I understand. But, I remember that you didn't have the power of inheritance before, so why do you have it now? And your power of inheritance is exactly the same as that of Nayan Gudao. Could it be that ordinary people can also become a noble family?"

Lu Junsheng returned to the coffee table and was sitting:

"All these matters are of great importance. Forgive me for not being able to discuss them in detail with Brother Jiang. I can only tell Brother Jiang that my situation is extremely special. I am afraid that there will be no second example in this world where the offspring of a family of the public family are born with The power of inheritance, and the descendants of ordinary people can only be ordinary people forever."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan sighed:
"Born noble and humble."

This world is far more cruel than I imagined.

Ordinary people will never have the opportunity to climb up, but nobles will always be nobles.

Lu Junsheng also sighed, and he continued:

"In addition, in order to repay Brother Jiang's life-saving grace at the Heshen Temple, Junsheng is also willing to save Brother Jiang's life."

Jiang Yuan originally wanted to say a big tone, but hesitated for a moment, he changed his words and said:
"All ears."

Lu Junsheng was silent for a while, then sighed:
"Yangcheng will destroy the only life in the night of three days, in the Xuanhe waterway."

Jiang Yuan didn't expect Lu Junsheng to say such a thing, he asked:

"How did you know it? Could it be, the sacrificial field?"

Lu Junsheng shook his head:
"It's not the sacrificial field, but for other reasons. Sorry, I can't say too many."

Jiang Yuan smiled, Lu Junsheng threw out a shocking news, but he was unwilling to explain it, which made Jiang Yuan believe it easily.

Immediately, Jiang Yuan didn't want to dwell on this topic, he asked:

"Brother Lu, is there a distinction between strong and weak realms between the noble family and the ghosts?"

Lu Junsheng nodded:
"Ghosts increase their strength by devouring the flesh and blood of living people. They can be divided into four realms: Sui, Chaos, Fierce, and Death. The family of the public clan increases their strength through sacrifices and cultivation, and can also be divided into: Mu, Zhao, Zhen, and Shi. Four corresponding realms. The way to improve strength is like doors that constantly open potential. Therefore, each realm of the two can be divided into nine levels, and every third level is a step, and there are three levels, The theory of the middle three towers and the lower three towers."

Jiang Yuan asked:
"Dare to be Brother Lu, what level have you reached now?"

Lu Junsheng smiled and said:
"It's ashamed to say that Junsheng is no more than the third son of Mu Jing."

Jiang Yuan secretly compared his strength in his heart. Although he didn't know if he could kill people with the power of inheritance, ghosts had killed a lot.

In this way, he should at least have the strength of San Que under Mu Jing.

The fragrance of the new tea overflowed, and soon another pot was brewed.

The two were drinking tea and chatting, and before they knew it, it was already noon.

What should be asked has been asked, and many things are still waiting for Jiang Yuan to do, so Jiang Yuan got up and said goodbye.

"Brother Jiang, I will send you off. Please remember Junsheng's words. Yangcheng will be destroyed in three days, and the life will be in Xuanhe."

Lu Junsheng got up and sent Jiang Yuan to the door.

When they came outside the manor, Jiang Yuan brought back the horses, and Lu Junsheng also started to turn back.

Looking at Lu Junsheng's leaving back, Jiang Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and murderous intent surged in his heart.

With a movement of his body, he came behind Lu Junsheng in an instant, followed by flames from his palm, and his five fingers were like hooks, quickly piercing into Lu Junsheng's back.

Lie Yan began to churn in Lu Junsheng's body, but Jiang Yuan soon felt another force suppressing the flame.

That power comes from Lu Junsheng's blood, if you guessed correctly, it is the power of inheritance.

Jiang Yuan's flame and Lu Junsheng's inheritance power competed with each other and disappeared.

"It really works!"

Jiang Yuan's eyes were overjoyed, his own flames could not only deal with ghosts, but also people with the power of inheritance.

Lu Junsheng was of no value to him at this time, and Jiang Yuan never minded doing things like demolishing bridges.

After being attacked, Lu Junsheng reacted quickly.

He rushed forward violently, even if Jiang Yuan pulled out his internal organs, he didn't stop.

After standing still, Lu Junsheng turned his head, and there was a shimmering crystal jade in his hand.
