Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 17 Siming County
"In fact, the idea that my ancestor proposed was very simple. In order to strengthen the connection between our two families, he hoped that after your elder passed away, his body could be kept in our Huxing Sect Taoist temple for three years. However, the great-grandfather of the Xiao family did not agree to it at that time. Otherwise, the relationship between our two families would be closer now."
"Family temple?" Xiao Qingsong knew what Hu Xingzong was planning as soon as he heard it.
They are making a big bet.
If it was just an ordinary merit of following the dragon, when the Xiao family took over Dongfeng Town and became the Marquis of Dongfeng, all they could give to the Huxing Sect would be a few mountain god positions.
But if the Xiao family is willing to keep the body in the Huxing Sect, it means that the Huxing Sect will be designated as the Xiao family's ancestral temple. When the Xiao family becomes the Marquis of Dongfeng, the Huxing Sect can get a lot of things.
It is no wonder that the ancestor of the Xiao family was unwilling to agree to it at the beginning.
But now he had to agree to it, just as Shi Daoren said, time waits for no one.
So Xiao Qingsong said decisively: "Okay, I agree to this, but I also have a request."
Having said that, Xiao Qingsong looked towards the way out.
"Don't worry about this. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If they want to steal our Tiger Sect's business, don't blame us for taking action."
Listening to Taoist Shi's words, Xiao Qingsong also slowly nodded.
The next things will be much easier. The Xiao family's team will start to move forward and will later leave the territory of Siming County. At that time, most people will disperse, and only Xiao Zhengtan will carry the coffin to the main body of the Huxing Sect.
This process will take about three days. After this matter is dealt with, the Xiao family and the Huxing Sect will turn around to deal with Wang Liang's affairs.
The Xiao family has been rooted in Siming County for nearly sixty years. They are familiar with every piece of land outside Siming County. They have never heard that there would be such a family hidden in the mountain roads nearby.
It was obvious that he was trying to jump out and grab food at the last minute.
Some experts can accomplish the trick of becoming a housewife overnight. Their previous concessions were only because they were closer and would be at a disadvantage in a fight.
After things here are settled, the Xiao family will send troops out and they will definitely be able to take down Wang Liang’s main residence.
Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Qingsong's eyes.
However, Wang Liang didn't know all this at the time. He had already arrived at the gate of Siming County.
Because the entire Xiao family had gone out to attend the funeral, Siming County was left unattended at this time.
Wang Liang put away the bronze warhorse and easily entered Siming County with his umbrella on his back.
The entire urban area of Siming County is actually not very large, and most of the population lives in rural areas.
In particular, in order to ensure that their ambitions would not be discovered, the Xiao family placed some unimportant branches the countryside. After all, hiding three to five hundred people in a village would not be discovered at all.
This county town was mainly built for the Duke of Dongfeng to see. Although Siming County looks quite prosperous, there is actually nothing valuable there.
After entering Siming County, Wang Liang couldn't help but exclaimed.
Now he is no longer a newbie at level 0, but already at level 24. Even if he does not add points to his mental strength, the golden elixir of three thousand purple qi can allow him to sense many things.
As soon as he entered Siming County, he felt the dense legal net in the sky. Looking up at the sky, he saw a layer of light golden grid in a place that normal people could not see.
This grid covers the entire Siming County, preventing the invasion of foreign evil creatures.
It can be seen that no matter whether it is Qi and blood or evil spirits, as long as they do not go through the main gate and want to climb over the city wall, they will all be watched by this grid.
As soon as they make any reaction, a large number of troops will arrive to stop them in the next instant.
These are probably some of the characteristics of this world.
However, Wang Liang also noticed that under the law, every house in the county town has at least three to five nodes.
Wang Liang took a careful look and although he couldn't see it in other people's homes, he saw that the door gods pasted on some people's doors were one of the nodes.
Thinking about it this way, Wang Liang understood that in this world, gods and people's lives are closely related.
Walking along the main road of the county town, Wang Liang slowly came to a relatively lively square. The square was not very big, generally speaking, it was about the size of a football field.
There were a few people who didn't have to work wandering around the square. A few old men and women who looked quite old were spontaneously sweeping the steps of the temple gate on the east side of the square with brooms.
The temple, which does not cover a large area, is the City God Temple of Siming County.
This is a temple that existed in every city during the Qin Dynasty.
According to the regulations of the Qin Empire, a county town must have a city god, a village must have a piece of land, a forest over 15 miles long must have a mountain god, and a stream over 20 miles long must have a water god. The power of these gods all came from the central government of the Qin Empire.
Of course, the authority to confer titles on them did not lie in the hands of the Qin Empire, but rather in the hands of some sects of cultivation and the great dukes and princes.
There will also be some aristocratic families. Generally speaking, a family will often have one land god, one mountain god and one water god in their hands to be considered a formal aristocratic family.
Only the authority to confer titles on the City God is not in their hands, but in the hands of the central government of the Qin Empire. A corresponding yellow book is sent down every year. This is the only means of control that the Qin Empire can now achieve.
It is precisely because the City God and the County Magistrate are not of the same kind, so the County Magistrate will often be wary of the existence of the City God. Apart from the legal net against ghosts and evil spirits, they will not let the City God see anything else .
After standing in front of the City God Temple for a while, Wang Liang noticed some arrangements in front of the temple.
The eyes of the stone lion in front of the temple were painted red, and some .
Those are some methods to prevent the Yin Spirit from traveling.
In this kind of world, this is clearly an attempt to confine the City God in the City God Temple and not let him go out.
After thinking for a while, Wang Liang finally went towards the City God Temple.
When he came to this game world, he always had to find someone to inquire about the situation in this world.
At least he needs to know what kind of methods this world has.
The battle formations that Wang Liang had seen in the sky before were so powerful that he was a little scared.
The 500 soldiers brought by the Xiao family just now did not show that kind of performance, but this does not mean that Wang Liang would ignore such a force.
Wang Liang needs to figure out what is in this world so that he can decide what to do next.
After standing in front of the City God Temple and thinking for a while, Wang Liang strode towards the City God Temple. The moment he stepped into the gate of the City God Temple, he heard a strange bell sound in his ears.
