Chapter 451
What’s wrong is this world
"I have seen a fairy."
"My Lord God, if I have offended you in the past, please do not take it personally."
"It's really a god! This means we really don't have to live a hard life anymore."
The little old man holding the cane was already certain that it was the village chief Zhou Shitou who was trying to trick them into doing something extremely unethical.
But seeing that Hewan Village is getting worse day by day, if it continues like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before everyone will die out.
Just rebel, maybe you can still live a few days of good life, so I didn’t say anything.
It can be seen that he was also extremely shocked by this scene.
He knelt down tremblingly: "God, please accept my respects."
The reason why they can see such shocking things is actually not due to any extraordinary means.
It's just an illusion.
This kind of thing is of no use to powerful monks.
However, dealing with those in the Qi Refining Stage or even the Foundation Establishment Stage is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Zheng Yi's strength was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, and now he is only at the peak of Qi training, but his own realm is the Golden Core Stage after all.
It is so easy to use illusion to deal with these people.
Not to mention these ordinary people, even Zhou Kunshan and Feng Haitao were deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves.
When it comes to rebellion, if you cannot learn the true art of slaying a dragon, then feudal superstition is the best way to go.
In the world before Zheng Yi first traveled through time, every rebellion in ancient times was carried out in the name of gods.
Lao Liu killed the white snake and started an uprising, and various sects were created by various rebellious forces.
Any routine that can be widely used naturally has its reasons.
Because of this, Zheng Yi would certainly not let it go.
Moreover, in a world like the Cang Yan Realm, because there are already cultivators, there is also the Zhao family's ancestor Cang Yue Yan Huang who has shattered the void.
They would not have even the slightest doubt about the existence of immortals and gods.
"Everyone, get up."
Zheng Yi raised his hand slightly, and the light around him gradually dimmed, and the beautiful buildings gradually disappeared.
Everyone just felt their feet lighten, and they unexpectedly fell down at an extremely fast speed.
A few people who were about to get up fell down with a cry.
As they fell rapidly, they gradually saw the rapidly approaching earth.
The scene was like falling from a high altitude, and many people screamed.
Soon, they saw the familiar land of Hewan Village, followed by the location of the ancestral hall.
There was a dull boom.
It seemed like something huge had fallen to the ground.
They also felt a slight tremor in their bodies, and then there was no sound.
After a long time, everyone dared to open their eyes cautiously.
Only then did they realize that they had returned to the ancestral hall without knowing when.
Zheng Yi stood there as always, with a kind smile on his face.
I don’t know if it was their illusion, but looking at the smile on Zheng Yi’s face now, it gave people a kind of majesty that they dared not look directly at.
Zhou Kunshan was the first to recover from his shock.
The original anxiety in my heart has now completely disappeared.
Zhou Kunshan originally thought that Zheng Yi was a powerful cultivator, but he decided to take the risk because he couldn't make ends meet.
Other people in Hewan Village have not yet realized how bad the situation is.
Zhou Kunshan, who was in charge of the overall situation, knew very well that after the death of Chen Mu's two sons, Hewan Village was almost on the verge of collapse.
Despite his efforts, he managed to maintain the situation in the village.
But even if everyone was mining desperately, they could only barely deliver enough allocated ore.
Although it can still be maintained, the problem is that people have their limits.
In case any problems arise again, or someone gets sick and unable to work.
The entire Hewan Village might collapse completely.
Therefore, Zhou Kunshan decided to take the risk. He was going to die anyway, so instead of being a coward, he might as well fight to the death.
However, Zhou Kunshan never expected that he would actually encounter a golden thigh after he was just trying his best to save the situation.
After Zheng Yi showed off his skills, everyone in Hewan Village regarded him as a god.
But... there is one exception.
After everyone left, Feng Haitao bowed to Zheng Yi earnestly and said, "Mr. Zheng, I have a question, but I don't know whether I should ask it or not."
Zhou Kunshan said angrily: "Feng Haitao, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you doubt the identity of the lord?"
Feng Haitao ignored Zhou Kunshan and looked at Zheng Yi stubbornly, waiting for his answer.
Zheng Yi was not angry about his attitude.
From the moment he first met Feng Haitao, Zheng Yi knew that he was an educated man.
People like him are different from ordinary people who cannot read a single word and pragmatists like Zhou Kunshan.
Zheng Yi pointed to the sky and said, "I, indeed, came from that place."
"That is a world more powerful than the Cang Yan Realm. There are indeed many people there who have the ability to move mountains and fill the sea. For you, it is not an exaggeration to call such people immortals."
Feng Haitao's eyes sparkled: "So, the saying of shattering the void is actually true."
Zheng Yi was stunned.
He had not expected that in the Cang Yan Realm, there were actually people who doubted the truth of this matter.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem strange.
No one knows how many years have passed since Cang Yue Yan Huang crushed the void. Even if someone saw it with their own eyes back then, they are probably almost dead by now.
What’s more, even back then, there definitely wouldn’t be many people who had seen it with their own eyes.
It is normal for some people to have doubts.
"It is indeed true." Zheng Yi nodded slightly: "But shattering the void is not as wonderful as you imagine."
“Even if a strong person in this world breaks through to a stronger world, he or she will not be invincible. He or she must practice hard and climb up little by little.”
"And I..." Zheng Yi smiled slightly: "I am the enemy of Cang Yue Yan Huang."
Zheng Yi would not let ordinary people know too much, but he would reveal part of the truth to Zhou Kunshan and Feng Haitao.
This is telling them.
You and I are now tied to the same rope. I am the enemy of Cang Yue Yan Huang, so don't have any lucky thoughts.
Therefore, the only way left is to follow me honestly and completely overthrow the Zhao family.
As for the strength of Cang Yue Yan Huang, Zheng Yi deliberately did not mention it.
It's not lying, it's just selectively telling them part of the truth.
Otherwise, it would really shake their determination to resist.
After all, Zheng Yi couldn't tell them that a weakling like him in the Jindan stage couldn't even withstand a single blow from the Cang Yue Yan Huang in the Enlightenment stage, right?
The entire Hewan Village has been completely under Zheng Yi's control.
Now, except for the six miners, everyone has to practice with Zheng Yi.
Although these people’s qualifications are average, it doesn’t matter. If they don’t have the qualifications, you can just use resources to pile them up.
The igneous rock mines all over the ground are the best resources for cultivation.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Although it is not processed, the efficiency of utilization is slightly lower, but the quantity can make up for everything.
With Feng Haitao's previous experience, Zheng Yi created a universal practice based on the "Great Five Elements Birth and Death Sutra".
No matter what attribute you want to cultivate, you can directly use the fire rock as a cultivation resource.
Of course, practicing in this way will inevitably waste a lot of spiritual energy.
This is also a last resort. For them now, the first thing to solve is the problem of myrrh.
Being able to practice and improve strength is the top priority, and waste is not something they need to consider.
In order to avoid being discovered, the people of Hewan Village are now extremely domineering towards others.
The people from just one village directly occupied an entire mine.
Zhao Qing occasionally arranged for people from other villages to work in the same mine with them, but they were eventually driven away by them.
"My Lord, Qingpigou is getting more and more dissatisfied with us. Today he told me that if we dare to occupy the mine again and prevent people from other villages from mining, he will report us to the higher-ups."
Zheng Yi nodded slightly: "Do you think he discovered something?"
Zhou Kunshan shook his head disdainfully and said, "Of course not. He has never been into a mine."
"Besides, if Qingpigou had really discovered something wrong, this old dog would have definitely informed us. It would definitely not be just a simple warning."
"But my lord, I don't think this is a solution. Sooner or later, the patience of a young dog will run out."
"It doesn't matter." Zheng Yi said with a smile: "It's very easy to deal with him."
The next day, Zheng Yi sent a letter to Zhao Qing, inviting him to meet privately.
"Are you looking for me?" Zhao Qing looked at Zheng Yi sideways.
Although he didn't know what happened in Hewan Village, Zhao Qing had a hunch that this matter must be related to the young man in front of him.
It was because he saw that this kid was capable of doing things and would secretly send him a piece of lava ore every now and then that he turned a blind eye.
Zheng Yi smiled apologetically: "Manager Qing, I know you are very capable. I'm afraid you already know everything. You are just waiting for me to confess to you. Please stop teasing me."
I know nothing.
Who has time to care about what you peasants do every day? Zhao Qing kept a straight face, but he was actually confused by Zheng Yi.
"Not bad, you're quite clever. Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Zheng Yi was shocked and said, "Manager Qing, I was the one who figured out this method of improving mining efficiency. If we're lucky, it's not impossible to dig out one more piece of igneous rock every day."
"If you eat the meat, at least leave some soup for us."
After hearing this, Zhao Qing finally understood what was going on.
No wonder, during this period of time, Hewan Village insisted that only the people in the village could occupy the mine, and absolutely no one else was allowed to get involved.
Love is afraid of being surrounded by too many eyes and having others secretly learn their mining secrets.
Then a greedy look appeared on Zhao Qing's face. If he could snatch the secret recipe and hand it over, he would definitely be valued by his superiors.
At that time, Zhao Qingke would be the real manager, not just a runner who was ordered around by others.
Even though those people called him Manager Qing on the surface, Zhao Qing was very clear about his own identity and status.
Since Zheng Yi dared to make this statement, he naturally anticipated Zhao Qing's reaction.
Seeing this guy's eyes floating upwards with an expression as if he was imagining the future, Zheng Yi guessed his choice.
"As expected, he is just a little smart like a gangster."
Zheng Yi did not expose Zhao Qing's thoughts. He just looked at Zhao Qing with trepidation, as if he could only helplessly let Zhao Qing deal with him.
"How dare you!" After imagining the future, Zhao Qing pointed at Zheng Yi's nose and scolded him righteously: "Since you have this secret method, you don't want to hand it over to serve the master, but dare to keep it for yourself."
"If you hand over the secret now, I will pretend that this incident never happened. Otherwise, don't blame me for reporting it to the master. When the time comes, you can just wait for the master's punishment."
Zheng Yi smiled secretly, pretending to be open and frank, and whispered to Zhao Qing: "Manager Qing, if I were you, I would not tell the people above about this."
Zhao Qing snorted coldly: "I, Zhao Qing, am loyal to the Zhao family. I was even given the surname Zhao by my master. How can someone like you understand that?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the secret recipe to me right away. Or do you really want to suffer a little before you obey me?"
The words sounded righteous, but if Zhao Qing was really as loyal to the Zhao family as he said.
I wouldn't stay here and waste time talking to him. I would have reported the matter long ago.
This guy asked him to hand over the secret in a roundabout way, just to make himself take the credit.
"Manager Qing, you misunderstood. I just have a few words from the bottom of my heart that I want to tell you." Zheng Yi said in a gentle and persuasive manner.
"Manager Qing, please think about it. Although my secret can improve the efficiency of mining."
"But the improvement in efficiency is actually not that much."
"For the entire Zhao family, it is true that they can receive a lot more ore. But in a mine, this increase is actually not worth mentioning."
"If you hand over this secret method, the Zhao family will indeed give you some promotion. But after this, what will happen? Isn't it nothing?"
"If I remember correctly, you, Steward Qing, should have no connections with the higher-ups, right? Under such circumstances, even if you make further progress, what good will it do? I'm afraid you will stop here in your life."
Seeing Zhao Qing getting more and more impatient, Zheng Yi took the opportunity to suggest: "But if you can help us keep this secret. I dare not say more, we can give you five pieces of igneous rock every day."
As long as you are still alive, you will always be grateful for this honor.
"Think about it, whether you use these volcanic rocks for your own cultivation, or to exchange for something, or even to make connections, which one would not be more beneficial than the benefits you get from handing over the secrets now?"
Zhao Qing couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "That...it seems to make sense."
The other things were too far away, and Zhao Qing couldn’t estimate them for the time being.
But there was one account he did know how to calculate: five dollars a day, that was one hundred and fifty dollars a month, and ten months was one thousand five hundred dollars.
The most important thing is that all this is for nothing. He doesn't even need to do anything, just turn a blind eye. (End of this chapter)
