…

In Daqian Country, deep in the southwest mountains, there is a small mountain village called Niujia Village located on a cow-shaped mountain range.

There are sixty or seventy households in Niujia Village. Most of the villagers are very poor. Zhang Sanniu’s family on the high ground in the north of the village is even more impoverished and cannot even eat enough to eat. When the situation of Zhang Sanniu’s family is mentioned, the villagers They all shook their heads and sighed, wanting to help but not having the ability.

Until one day, Zhang Ergou, the second eldest son of Zhang Sanniu's family, was born, and the concerned villagers began to discover that this originally poor family had undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few years.

First of all, the land planted by Zhang Sanniu's family is much better than before. Regardless of floods or droughts, they can guarantee a bumper harvest every year, as if they know the weather every year and never miss it.

Finally, the food eaten by Zhang Sanniu's family is much better than before. No matter whether it is running in the mountains, swimming in the water, or flying in the sky, there is no shortage of meat all year round. You can often smell the aroma of meat coming from his house.

Then, there are all the mysteries that happened to Zhang Sanniu’s son Zhang Ergou. As for things in the village, Zhang Ergou seems to always be able to predict in advance, whose house will catch fire this year and whose house will catch fire next year. A child would drown, and an adult would be in danger while hunting in the mountains the year after next. Almost every one of them hit the mark. After so many times, almost no one in the village doubted what Zhang's second dog said anymore.

There were even a few villagers who had tasted some sweetness after listening to Zhang Ergou's words, and they believed in Zhang Ergou. Every spring planting and summer sowing, it was the Zhang family who planted what they planted, and they followed suit.

Several hunters who listened to Zhang Ergou's reminder and rescued a life in times of crisis regarded Zhang Ergou as their lifesaver and were extremely grateful.

There are so many miraculous things happening to Zhang Ergou that Zhang Ergou's fame has gradually grown from all over the country. Some ignorant villagers even believed in some rumors: Zhang Ergou is the God of the Nine Heavens. Reincarnation, with boundless magical power, knowing five hundred years before and five hundred years afterward, knowing all blessings and misfortunes, and all evil spirits hiding... Then hang a portrait of the Nine Heavenly God in the form of Zhang Ergou at the door of the house to pray for the safety of the home.

"Hey~! What kind of monster dares to act so arrogantly here? Why don't you reveal your true form and let me, my mother-in-law, purify you monster with divine fire!"

That morning, an old woman with a hoarse voice, an ugly appearance, and skin like old tree bark, and a group of villagers with frightened faces and hoes in hand, gathered around the door of Zhang Ergou's house. The old woman was still holding a handful of drops in her hand. The peach wood sword stained with blood is fierce and fierce, and he wants to defeat the demon.

"Kill the demon?"

Seeing this kind of battle, Zhou Ming sneered, walked to the door, and said to the goddess in front of him: "I think the so-called demon is you, right? Sophora tree spirit?"

"What did you say..." The goddess was startled, her head twitching.

Sudden! Zhou Mingji pointed at the goddess and said in a stern voice: "Last year, Yang Jialing's 16-year-old child fell ill and was possessed by you as a water ghost. He was pushed into the fire and burned alive. After his death, his soul was swallowed by you. For this reason, your life span has been increased. Three years!”

"The year before last, an eight-year-old child in Dadong Village also fell ill. He was also possessed by you and turned into a water ghost and burned to death. His soul was swallowed by you and his life span was increased by two years..."

"The year before last, Xishui Village..."

"In the past ten years or so, you have been the cause of trouble. There have been more than a dozen children possessed by you and turned into water ghosts. Sophora tree spirit has sucked the souls of so many children. Your life span has been increased by more than a hundred years, right? "

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, the villagers became commotion.

"What, the old goddess is a locust tree spirit who specializes in swallowing the souls of children?"

"The old goddess looks older than seventy or eighty years old, with a lifespan of a hundred years, isn't it?"

"How is it possible that water ghosts are possessed every time?"

"Could it be that what Jiutian Divine Lord said is true?"

The villagers all took two steps back and looked at the goddess not far away with horror.

The goddess's face turned pale, and she became angry and said: "Shameless evil devil, you are talking nonsense, why don't you die quickly!" After saying that, the goddess raised her blood sword and ran straight towards Zhou Ming.

"Sophora tree spirit, you should be the one to die!"

Zhou Ming looked solemn, took out a spherical object from his sleeve, and threw it at the goddess's feet. There was a loud bang. Two or three seconds later, a burst of choking black smoke dissipated, and the goddess, covered in blood, fell to the ground. Moaning.

"Uncles and aunties, this harmful locust tree spirit has been knocked down by the divine thunder in my palm. I will seal the body of the locust tree spirit. You can throw this locust tree spirit into the fire to help me eradicate this harmful person. A monster on one side!”

After saying that, Zhou Ming took out a piece of ebony of unknown material from his sleeve, and then took out a knife and slashed it upward. Amidst a burst of exclamation, a dazzling blood mark suddenly appeared on the dark ebony wood.

"Sophora tree spirit, this old goddess is indeed a Sophora tree spirit!"

"You are so heartless. The souls of more than a dozen children have been swallowed by this locust tree spirit."

"Burn her, burn her!"

The angry villagers lifted up the wailing goddess and threw it into the blazing fire.

"Could it be that this second dog of the family is really the reincarnation of the god?" Among the crowd, Li Shouzheng, the pale-faced village chief, regretted inviting the old goddess to Niujia Village.

…

In the blink of an eye, sixteen years have passed. The name of the God of Nine Heavens, Zhang Ergou, has become more and more popular, and more and more "miracles" have happened to Zhang Ergou, such as the self-taught blacksmithing skills and the superb carpentry. He never came back empty-handed from hunting in the mountains, and the occasional inventions he made brought endless benefits to the village.

What's even more rare is that Jiutian Shenjun also has a heart like a Bodhisattva. If any family in the village has difficulties, he will always generously donate money and try his best to help. When there are difficulties, he almost becomes a villager. A word passed down by word of mouth.

When I heard that the Divine Lord, who had reached the age of starting a family and starting a business, wanted to marry his daughter Xiu Niang, Wang Xiucai from the east of the village agreed without much objection. The Nine Heavens Divine Lord has great supernatural powers, and if his daughter marries him, she will enjoy happiness for the rest of her life. .

At this moment, Li Shouzheng, the head of the village, is at home.

Li Shouzheng's second son, Li Wenhao, was crying, fussing, and hanging himself in his bedroom, causing a commotion in the house.

"No, I must take Wang Xiucai's daughter, Wang Xiuniang, as my concubine! She is mine, no one is allowed to take her from me!"

Li Wenhao said with red eyes. Hearing that Zhang Ergou also fell in love with his crush Wang Xiuniang, he immediately became furious and his anger could not be extinguished!

"Oh my darling, that Wang Xiuniang is the woman that Jiutian Shenjun likes. What are you fighting for with the Shenjun? You are not afraid of being punished by God. My good son, be good. There are many women in this world, so don't worry about Wang Xiuniang. Okay, can't do it." Mother Li persuaded her hard. Mother Li, who believed in gods and Buddhas, did not want to harm the true god who committed crimes in the world.

"What Nine Heavens God Lord, I think he is just a dog! A mangy dog! How dare he steal my woman, Li Wenhao, I will make him look good now!"

Li Wenhao was so angry that he immediately called a group of minions and went to Zhang Sanniu's house to make a big fuss. If he hadn't been blocked by the enthusiastic villagers around him, he would have smashed the entire Zhang family.

"Haha, Li Wenhao, I didn't expect you to jump out. Very good, very good..." A sneer flashed in his eyes, and Zhou Ming made a decision in his heart.

…

One night two days later, bad news suddenly came to the house of Li Shouzheng, the Li Shouzheng. The second son of the Li Wenhao, Li Wenhao, suddenly died of a stroke while having sex with his wife Zhou. The Li family was in chaos because it was impossible to find out. The strange part had to be hastily buried.

After hearing the news of Li Wenhao's death, Zhou Ming laughed very happily in private. Li Wenhao's heart was not good, and he was a lecherous person. As long as he drank a little of the [Golden Sword Grass] juice he prepared for him, once he made strenuous movements, his heartbeat would Accelerate and you are not far from death.

As for how he knew the efficacy of [Golden Sword Grass], after using the [Elementary Hunting Card], he knew hundreds of poisonous weeds similar to [Golden Sword Grass].

In this life, his philosophy of survival is: No matter who it is, as long as he goes against me, he will die!

…

Time flies, and more than thirty years have passed. During these years, in addition to his wife Wang Xiuniang, Zhou Ming also took in several concubines such as Li Erya, Sun Qianqian, and Zhang Xiaoya. Although jealousy in the backyard was common, these few The women gave birth to twenty or thirty children, sixteen men alone, and together with their grandchildren, there were hundreds of children, making the family a huge one.

As the family business grew, Zhou Ming also had his own way of arranging his sons, such as the blacksmith shop, carpenter shop, mill, oil pressing mill, textile factory, brick kiln factory and more than a dozen village-run enterprises he purchased in the village. The two sons are responsible for each other and help each other when encountering difficulties. There is no possibility of starvation for the descendants.

As for agriculture, Zhou Ming, who has accumulated hundreds of acres of land over the years, is preparing to start another big one.

"Dad, except for the Li family, the big family in the village, who is opposed to the 'collective farm cooperative' plan proposed by our Zhang family, other villagers are very supportive and want to follow our Zhang family!" Outside the door, the eldest son Zhang Sheng came in and reported There was a message.

"Haha!" Zhou Ming sneered, as if he had expected it, and said slowly: "Buy shares according to the amount of land, use cattle and tools intensively, and then collectively dig ditches to improve irrigation... How could the Li family think of these good things? , If you don’t force those weak-legged people to sell their sons and daughters to sell themselves, it’s better! Our collective farm cooperative plan is digging into the roots of the Li family! It’s strange that they don’t fight us!”

"Daddy, I have long disliked the Li family, but daddy, there are quite a few men in the Li family. If a fight breaks out, I'm afraid..." the eldest son said worriedly.

"Don't be afraid," Zhou Ming smiled and shook his head: "In order to deal with the Li family, I have been preparing for many years. Sheng'er, go and call the second and third sons over. I will show you something..."

…

A few days later.

In the north of Niujia Village, at the gate of Zhangjia Village, two groups of people, each with about a hundred people, were gathering. The group of people surrounding outside held sharply sharpened swords and axes in their hands, with cruel smiles on their faces.

The group of people in the Zhang Family Courtyard mostly held hoes and poles, but they were also polished.

The two crowded crowds were shouting and cursing at each other, and the situation was on the verge of breaking out.

"Old dog of the Zhang family, if you start another 'collective farm cooperative', our Li family will immediately massacre the entire Zhang family!"

"Yes, bloodbath the Zhang family! Bloodbath the entire Zhang family!"

"Go to Zhang's house and steal money and women!"

At this time, a group of black spots suddenly flew out of Zhang's courtyard, and a pungent smell of sulfur emitted in the air.

"What is this?" In the crowd, a man from the Li family took a black ball with his hand and took a closer look.

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Ah!" "Ah!" "My legs!" "My hands are missing!" "...!"

The screams kept coming and going, and they couldn't go away for a long time.
