Chapter 171 Three Young Masters
Gao Jian flew up again. In this world without a horizon, the distant view was like the starry sky.

The stars are tens of light years or even hundreds of thousands of light years away, but you can still see the starlight, which is the scenery dozens of light years away.

And here, a small mountain you see may also be a towering mountain range thousands of miles away.

Although Gao Jian's vision cannot extend thousands of miles, it is still difficult for him to see about a hundred miles now because there are too many obstacles. Air, dust and other things will also block his vision.

A few minutes ago, Gao Jian was still admiring these beautiful and magnificent scenery.

But Gao Jian was not in the mood to watch it now.

He rode his horse straight into the county town.

In fact, this was his second time to come to the county town of Cangzhou.

The first time I went was when I first arrived, and I went with Bai Ping.

Of course, there wouldn't be a no-fly formation of the same level as the one in the inner city of Cangzhou in the county town, so Gao Jian was like a meteor, smashing directly into the local "society".

The so-called "country, mountains, and land", the "she" here refers to this place.

"The Different Meanings of the Five Classics" says: "She" is the master of the land. The land is vast and cannot be respected everywhere, so the five lands are designated as She.

This is an important place for worship, even more important than the so-called "City God Temple".

The City God Temple is just a temple of the City God, while the She is the core location of the entire sacrificial ceremony. The words She and Ji can even be used as a synonym for the entire divine dynasty.

It is also called "commune" in "Spring and Autumn Annals". The specific community is different in each place. In Cangzhou City, the office on the left bank is the "zhou community", there is a "county community" in the county, there is a "village community" in the village, and even in the capital Yangjing there is a "national community" or "big community", all of which are formed by the five fiefs within.

The five kinds of soil are: one is mountain and forest, two is river and marsh, three is hill, four is tomb and land, five is plain and marsh. Taking different colors of the five kinds of soil and sealing them as altar is the way to establish "she".

Even now, the emperor's grand shrine has to use five-colored soil as its altar, and all places need to worship and receive the emperor's shrine soil. Different soils are granted according to the different directions of the shrine.

The east has green soil, the south has red soil, the west has white soil, the north has black soil, and the center has yellow soil.

Others will follow the color of their local area, and then cover them with white grass, and give them the color of their fiefdoms. When they return to their country, they will establish a community. That's why it is called "receiving grass land."

You have to accept the 'five lands' from the divine capital Yangjing before you can establish a 'society', and then you can incorporate all the gods into the system of the divine dynasty, in order to show that "all under heaven is the king's land."

It can be said that all sacrificial centers are communities.

The Zuo family, as a wealthy and aristocratic family that controls almost all sacrifices in Cangzhou, their chief priest also controls all the "she".

Therefore, Gao Jian rushed into the county community without hesitation.

At this moment, a banquet was being held in the county community to welcome distinguished guests.

When a wealthy family entertains distinguished guests, there are naturally many etiquettes. They hang up lanterns and decorations, slaughter chickens and geese, cook fish and turtles, and play fine music. A dozen or so stewards in loose clothes and tall hats take turns pouring wine and serving dishes on the bow of the boat. It is needless to describe how exquisite the food and how fragrant the tea and wine are. There are also games such as playing football, chess, and gambling, all of which are exquisitely performed.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that after the banquet and singing, all the famous heroes, wealthy people in the county will be summoned to the party, so that the nobles can see them one by one and get familiar with them.

Almost all the wealthy families in the entire county, famous practitioners, landlords, priests, leaders of various sects, and gang leaders came.

Because today's noble person has a noble identity.

He was a distinguished person who came from the capital of Cangzhou and was going to the ancient battlefield to participate in the Imperial College selection!
Three young masters selected from the Zuo family’s direct lineage!
The three young masters chose to stay here on their way. The chief priest of the county revealed the news in advance, so the wealthy families specially set up a banquet to welcome the three young masters!

At this moment, the three young masters of the Zuo family were sitting at the head seats at the banquet. Many people below took turns toasting them. The three young masters of the Zuo family were also very friendly and did not keep people away. The atmosphere was very peaceful.

But one could still see the nervousness of the people below; even the county magistrate who was sitting in the accompanying seat seemed uneasy.

Today, three young masters came over and gave an incomprehensible order.

They inquired about a village and found out that there was a land god named Bai Lingqing in the village. Usually, no one cared about him. There were probably hundreds of such small land gods in the county with a population of nearly one million.

But this kind of person was named by the three young masters.

They should have killed him directly, but... at this time, the three young masters changed their minds. It seemed that a mouse came over and whispered to them.

The people below didn’t know what happened afterwards, but the three young masters all looked unhappy. However, they finally retracted their previous decision and only requested that that place… should never have normal weather forever.

That's right, forever.

Although this was not a direct killing, there was no doubt that the people in that place were being forced to death.

For one or two years, the god of land can be sustained by blood sacrifices or his own savings.

If more than three years pass, even if the land god commits suicide, he will not be able to maintain the weather, and the entire village will surely fall apart.

The whole village was in ruins. The old, weak, sick and disabled all died. The young and strong laborers either went to the county town, or to seek refuge with relatives in other villages, or fought a desperate battle and ran to the outer city of Cangzhou.

Naturally, the entire village fell apart.

Without the village, the incense of the land god could not be maintained. Eventually the incense went out, his cultivation disappeared, and he turned into a wild monster.

It is only a matter of time before you turn into a wild monster and die without a burial.

Although no one knows why there are so many detours, everyone just has to do as they are told. Therefore, we have only started to implement it in the past few days, and once we have caught some evidence against the fox, we have started to punish him under the pretext.

This is how the officialdom is. Everyone has something used against them, it just depends on whether they are willing to use it. Even if the emperor came, according to the laws of the Divine Dynasty, there is no problem in punishing this fox.

Everything is reasonable and legal, and there are no flaws.

To kill someone, you don't have to do it yourself.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the three young men stood up, thanked everyone, said they were not drunk, then turned and went into the side room, as if they wanted to be alone for a while.

Naturally, the others didn't dare to stop him, so they just continued drinking.

The three of them walked into the room, did not find a place to sit, but just closed the door and looked at each other coldly.

Of course they knew each other, but their relationship was not very good.

Although they are all direct descendants of the Zuo family and can be considered brothers, the direct descendants of the Zuo family are not divided by blood, so they are not familiar with each other.

Because the Zuo family does not have such a position as 'head of the family', instead it has the position of 'helmsman', and the emphasis is on the capable person being promoted.

Under normal circumstances, this system would inevitably lead to civil strife, but the Zuo family has an ancestor, and the position at the helm was personally designated by the ancestor, so it has been running stably.

But... at this time, the ancestor was in seclusion to break through to the second level of grandmaster.

This has led to problems between the former and current helmsmen, and the relationship between the three of them has naturally become delicate.

“At this point, punishing Gao Jian is just a way to vent our anger. It’s not a good idea to have a quarrel with Shushan over this.” A young master of the Zuo family said.

"Zuo Si, it's just a punishment for a small land in a territory, do you want to interfere?" another young master said dissatisfiedly.

The young master of the Zuo family, who was called 'Zuo Si', shook his head: "Then let's not talk about this. Zuo Xiu, Zuo Chi, how are you two going to deal with Shui Cangcang?"

After saying this, the three of them fell silent.

How to deal with Shui Cangcang?
It is estimated that the direct descendants of all the aristocratic families in Cangzhou do not have a perfect answer in their minds.

The vast water is a mountain pressing down on the heads of all the children from aristocratic families in Cangzhou.

Zuo Si is good at taking advantage of the power of heaven and earth, Zuo Xiu is good at hiding and possessing heroic spirits, and Zuo Chi is good at controlling the gods.

But these methods will be useless in front of Shui Cangcang.

If some ordinary children from aristocratic families heard Shui Cangcang's name, they might even feel nauseous. If they ran into Shui Cangcang head-on, they might even vomit on the spot.

Because to this generation of young people, Shui Cangcang is the 'other people's child', and everyone grew up hearing his name.

"It's still the same trick, right? Borrowing the power of heaven and earth, controlling the gods, using the power of the gods to mimic a 'star official', and then hiding the star official's spirit in the body, and transforming the hundreds of acupoints in the human body into the heaven. With the power of the heaven, perhaps you can fight Shui Cangcang head-on." Zuo Si continued.

This is actually the trump card of the three of them.

One person definitely can't do it, but if the three of them work together and fully utilize their advantages, they should be able to fight Shui Cangcang head-on.

But the prerequisite is...the three of them must work together.

Under the current circumstances, I'm afraid it's difficult to unite.

After all, it doesn’t mean that three people have to go to the Imperial College together…

Eliminating others is actually a good thing, especially now.

Zuo Si was a little anxious, so he continued: "Zuo Xiu, I know that your great uncle is the helmsman of Zuo An, Zuo Chi, and your father supports Zuo Qing to be the helmsman, but these are all later."

Yes, Zuo Xiu is from the Zuo'an School, and Zuo Chi is from the Zuoqing School.

Only Zuo Si himself was neutral and did not take sides, so he had always wanted to reconcile the two sides so that they could truly demonstrate the true strength of their combined efforts and stabilize the Imperial College selection.

It’s just that it’s a bit difficult.

"Alas, the land god is just a small matter, the Imperial College selection is a big deal. If we work together, both sides will benefit, but if we separate, both sides will suffer. You two -" Zuo Si just started to speak.

But, it was interrupted the next moment.

Because there was an explosion outside!
There was a strong impact explosion, accompanied by a horse neighing and the wailing of many people.

The three young masters immediately pushed the door open and walked out.

Then, I saw a tall horse standing and pacing in the original courtyard.

The banquet was naturally smashed to pieces, and the original guests were in a panic. They obviously did not expect a horse to fall from the sky and dare to hurt people!
As for the three young masters of the Zuo family, as soon as they pushed the door open, a knife as big as an iron rod was already at their foreheads.

Gao Jian has almost found out everything about the situation.

The doorman outside only needed two pots of wine to explain the whole story, and boasted a lot, saying that this was a nobleman from the Zuo family in the provincial capital, who was going to participate in the selection of the Imperial College.

Therefore, Gao Jian has figured out the situation.

He came prepared.

Now that I'm prepared, Gao Jian won't bother you any more!
We have to take action anyway, so let’s just do it first!

Three people pushed the door open and Gao Jian slashed them with a knife!

Zuo Xiu reacted the fastest. He saw that the body of a heroic spirit expanded in the crimson palace on his chest and covered his body, so that a golden mace appeared in his hand out of thin air, and a set of armor appeared on his body.

The golden mace was swung, and with a clang, it blocked Gao Jian's long sword.

Gao Jian felt his arm go numb and used the force to retreat.

What a great strength! He must be possessed by a heroic spirit!
By hiding the silver bell of the god in the Crimson Palace, the power of the heroic spirit can be covered on the body when needed, and the heroic spirit's martial arts, fighting instincts, body and weapons can be obtained.

Because there are more than one heroic spirits and gods that can be mobilized, the shamans themselves are stronger than the hidden heroic spirits.

At this moment, Zuo Xiu mobilized three heroic spirits. Two of them strengthened the body and martial arts, and one turned into armor and weapons. The power of the three heroic spirits combined into one, and Gao Jian was beaten back in just one blow.

The brute force of the god's golden body is even more exaggerated than that of a warrior.

"Who is it!?" Zuo Xiu defeated Gao Jian, holding the golden mace, and shouted angrily.

His golden body was actually slightly damaged, which meant that Gao Jian's hands were numb from the collision just now, and his hands were also feeling uncomfortable.

How dare someone attack the young master of the Zuo family? They are really asking for their life!
"Good idea?" At this moment, Zuo Si standing next to him immediately recognized the chess piece that had caused the Zuo family to fall into civil strife.

That’s right, a chess piece. In the eyes of the Zuo family, Gao Jian is just a person of a higher level, like a chess piece of the Shui family or the Gou family. Gao Jian himself is not a threat. It is the forces behind them that are messing up the situation.

Especially the Gou family, who are both generals and real dragons. They can hook up with the real dragon. As a Yuezhou family close to the sea, the Gou family may have made a lot of efforts.

“Good idea!” Zuo Chi was standing aside, his eyes wide open with anger. When he heard the name, he looked around and stamped his feet fiercely: “All the gods of the four directions, listen to my command! Hunt!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw gods descending from all directions.

There are eight in total, each representing the four realms!
There are four wonders: the flying dragon general, the tiger-wing general, the flying bird general, and the coiled snake general.

There are four generals: the God of Heaven, the God of Earth, the God of Wind and the God of Cloud.

The eight gods will combine to form a formation, and the odd and even will be born from each other, like a cycle without end, infinite and limitless. The odd is Yang, and the even is Yin; Yin and Yang are close, and the four seasons are in place! The odd is hard, and the even is soft; hard and soft complement each other, and all things are formed! With the use of the odd and even, all things are invincible. The so-called combination is to combine the odd and even eight formations into one!
The ancient princes and hunters eliminated pests in the fields, used them for sacrifices and practiced martial arts. It was exactly like this!
Seeing that his two brothers had already taken action, Zuo Si sighed. Since it was a brilliant idea, there was no way he could hold back. Maybe he could kill the other party here, which would be a good thing.

Zuo Si raised his hand, and a incense burner fell to the ground from the mustard seed bag. As the incense inside it burned, the surrounding ground veins and weather seemed to be affected.

"You dare to come to my house, what a great idea... You are really brave." Zuo Si said in a deep voice.

I thought he would shrink back and settle down in the Zuo family, but I never expected that he was so bold!
