Chapter 52 – giant locust (Red Votes + 10,000)

Yang Junshan stayed in the pomegranate forest for three days straight. After Hu Niu’s aura gradually became stronger and steadier, Yang Junshan knew that Hu Niu had passed througeriod of life-threatening danger. Although she had not yet awoken, she was actually immersed in her cultivation.

After killing a few wild hare chickens on the western mountain and throwing the prey in front of Hu Niu, which sealed the cave again, Yang Junshan was finally able to relax and go down the mountain.

Before Yang Junshan left the mountain, Seventh Aunt Yang Tian Yan and Uncle An Xia took Yang Junhao and left for Chenyu County. After Yang Junshan returned home, it was obvious that his father Yang Tiangang was not in a good mood.

“Your uncle reported the matter of the Rust Ore to the Heaven-Shaken Sect. Currently, the Heaven-Shaken Sect has already placed a ban on all cultivators from the Yuxian from participating in the stone gambling!” Han Xiumei secretly told Yang Junshan the reason.

“That can’t be true!” Yang Junshan was surprised: Why is Heaven-Shaken Sect so big, isn’t it fine to quietly collect them? If we continue to do this in such a large scale, what other secrets does the Rust Stone have?

“That’s right!” Han Xiumei also said: “I heard from your father that right now, all of the ores in the market are being confiscated, and now, no matter if it’s the Grass City or the county city’s market, even the merchants selling goods are rarely seen. Even the Li Laosan who used to sell all kinds of ores to your father in the Grass City was captured by him two days ago, and all the things he had on him were confiscated.

Yang Junshan’s expression turned cold, and said: “Is he here for my father?”

“Your dad said that he had that intention, but he didn’t have that courage. There’igh chance that he’s trying to show off to your dad!”

“He only has this little bit of ability, then why is my dad unhappy? Could it be that just because we forbid gambling, we are unable to collect the Rust Ore Stone?”

Han Xiumei sighed, and said: “Even though our family was separated, your father’s heart still cannot let Yang family go. This time, when I told your uncle about the Rusty Plains Stone, your father actually still wished to inform the Yang family through your uncle, but who knew that your uncle would report it to the Heaven-Shaken Sect without saying anything. Your father naturally did not feel good about it.”

But at this time, Yang Junshan’s thoughts were no longer on the Rust Ore, what was the reason why Heaven-Shaken Sect was so anxious to collect the Rust Ore? Logically speaking, he should be trying his best to hide the information at this time, and then secretly collecting the Ore Stone was the best way to maximize the benefits.

No matter how strong the Heaven-Shaken Sect was, it was only controlled by a Yuxian. If this matter was done secretly, the amount of ores collected could be expanded without anyone knowing about it, but with the way things were going, people would soon find out about the secret of the Rust Rocks. Although the Rust Rocks on the Yuxian’s surface could be cleared in a short period of time, in the long run, people would definitely not be able to access the Rust Rocks from outside the Yuxian.

Unless the Heaven-Shaken Sect urgently needed a huge number of Jade Coins to rescue them, and only that type of stable method that took a long time to finish would be abandoned, and this kind of method that could drain water from the pond would be used.

But just what was the reason behind Heaven-Shaken Sect’s craving for the Jade Coins to this extent? After all, the Heaven-Shaken Sect was not the only one who had dominated the Yuxian for so many years. Such a colossus should not be in need of money no matter what!

Although Yang Junshan did not understand the reason, he knew that the Heaven-Shaken Sect in his previous life was still an unattainable colossus in the hearts of the cultivators of Yuxian the moment it collapsed. No one would have thought that such a colossal existence would suddenly collapse!

Maybe the place no one could see was the Heaven-Shaken Sect already rotten, and this time’s incident with the Rust Stone had coincidentally touched upon Heaven-Shaken Sect’s wound, which was why the Heaven-Shaken Sect reacted so violently.

Yang Junshan hurriedly walked to the backyard, Su Baozhang was bringing Yang Junping and the others to train in Mang Niu Fist, upon seeing that Yang Junshan had returned, Su Baozhang laughed: “Brother Jun Shan, then how are Hu Niu’s injuries, why have you not brought her back?”

Yang Junshan had something on his mind, and was about to look for Yang Tiangang, but hearing that, he could only say: “It is still recuperating!”

After thinking about it, Yang Junshan stopped, waved his hand at Yang Junping, and said: “Second brother, I instructed you to capture grasshoppers in the fields these past few days. Have you gone?”

Hearing that, Yang Junping’s face showed an unwilling expression, and said: “Those are all children’s playthings, I’m almost 11 now, and I still want to go to the fields to catch grasshoppers?”

Seeing that Yang Junshan’s face had sunk, Yang Junping hurriedly said. “I have been catching grasshoppers for the past few days, especially when Thirteenth Brother was there two days ago.

Yang Junshan found his little sister again. In these few days, Yang Junhao, who was the same age as her, left while Hu Niu was heavily injured. In these few days, Yang Junping was affected by his big brother’s influence and thus found out about his diligent cultivation, causing Yang Junxin, who had lost his playmate, to be extremely unhappy.

Hearing her brother ask her about catching locusts, although Yang Junxin felt it was strange, he still said, “There are a lot of locusts in the field. The uncle who is farming said that today’s the best day, but there are a lot of grass grasshoppers in the field.”

“Then, little sister, how big are the locusts that you’ve caught these past few days?”

Yang Junxin thought for a moment, then gestured with her hand: “It’s that big!”

Yang Junshan saw that the locust size that he was drawing was almost the size of a cat. Scratching her nose, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Why didn’t such a big locust eat you?”

Su Baozhang saw that Yang Junshan was constantly asking him about the size and size of the locusts, so he asked with a smile: “Brother Jun Shan, why are you asking about these, could it be that there will be a locust plague this year?”

Yang Junshan thought for a while, then said: “Just in case, I have seen a lot of locusts flying around in the back mountains of the Western Mountain these few days. I just don’t know if they are really doing well in other places, or if there will blague of locusts.”

Seeing that Yang Junshan was serious, Su Baozhang’s expression became serious, and said: “Although our village already has four Martial Realm Cultivator s, so we can resist the invasion of the locusts if we join hands, but there will always be times where we won’t be able to take care of them, in the past, every time the locust swarm would always bring some losses, I think it’s better if you tell Master Village Head about it first. It’s better to prepare in advance.”

Yang Junshan acknowledged his presence and walked towards Yang Tiangang’s room. If it was really just an ordinary plague of locusts, Yang Junshan would not be bothered about it. When the locusts came attacking from all directions, most of them would be exterminated by the village cultivators’ techniques before they could even land in the fields. In the end, even if there were any losses, it was extremely limited.

However, the problem was that the plague in Yang Junshan’s memories in his previous life was not simple at all. The locusts that covered the sky were not ordinary locusts, their bodies were almost twice the size of normal locusts, and ordinary locusts were only about one to two inches larger than normal locusts.

Facing the combined attacks of so many Spiritual Farmers cultivators, the number of locusts that were killed was extremely limited. The remaining locusts took the opportunity to break through and charge into the Ling Tian s to devour them.

Even though at that time, the Village Head saw that the situation was bad and immediately ordered his men to capture the spiritual valley, when the entire village tried to control the locust swarm, only thirty percent of the spiritual valley managed to snatch it back, and the rest went into the stomachs of the locusts.

The plague of locusts did not only affect Wasteland Town, it affected almost all of the Mengyu County s. Other than Mengyu County, three other counties in the five counties and one county in the entire Yuxian had also been affected by the plague of giant locust. After that, the price of spiritual valley, which was controlled by the Heaven-Shaken Sect, had doubled.

As expected, when Yang Tiangang heard about the plague of locusts, he did not take it to heart at all. However, Yang Junshan could not say that the plague of locusts was very different from the usual locusts, so he could only say that he found a few giant locushat were twice the size of normal locusts. They did not seem like normal locusts, but rather like small sized fierce beasts.

However, when Yang Tiangang asked him where the corpses of the locusts were, he only told him everything according to the memories of his previous life, including where the corpses of the giant locust came from. The only thing he could say was that he had accompanied Hu Niu in the mountains for the past few days, and roasted him to eat the locusts after catching them.

No matter what, Yang Junshan’s nonsense had caught Yang Tiangang’s attention. Yang Tiangang thought for a moment, and said: “This way, looking at the current situation and climate, it seems like a year when a locust plague occurred. It’s just that, the giant locust worm you’re talking about still needs to find a few living creatures or corpses, if not, I would want to gather the entire village to defend against the locust plague.”

Yang Junshan knew that he could only warn him about this at most, thus he nodded his head, and suddenly laughed evilly: Then I will look for more, but, Father, shouldn’t you give me the Jade Coins s from the Rusty Plains?

Yang Tiangang’s expression stiffened, and said: “Why do you want to talk about Jade Coins like that?”

was elated when he heard it, but from his father’s tone, he could tell that this time, his gains were definitely not small, and he quickly shouted out: “Ever since the last time Banyan Mountain came back, I did not even have a stone coin on me, and now that I have broken through to the third stage, I have to learn how to make some talismans, carvings, etc. I also have to prepare some cultivation items for myself, and can’t let your son use the three stone bow to shoot at Martial Realm Cultivator’s buttocks!”

Yang Tiangang let out a “Wu” sound, and said: “Yes, that’s true. Here, take these Jade Coins!”

Yang Junshan impatiently grabbed the bag that Yang Tiangang threw to him and weighed it in his hands, his expression immediately changed, and said: “Father, that’s not right, why do we only have ten Jade Coins, we didn’t have to do that, we agreed that one tenth of the Jade Coins from the Rust Stone is mine, you wouldn’t be able to take out 100 Jade Coins, right?”

“Even if there are ten of them, it’s still not enough?” Yang Tiangang’s eyes suddenly stared wide, and scolded: “Which child has so many Jade Coins in their hands? This time, all the Jade Coins you unraveled are all being used by your mother to break through the martial arts realm realm? If you think it’s too little, ask your mother!”

Yang Junshan immediately lost his temper. Just as he was about to leave his father’s room dejectedly, he was called out to. He raised his head and saw a rock being thrown at him.

Yang Junshan hurriedly caught it in his hand. It was actually a red rusted ore that was the size of half a fist. He only heard Yang Tiangang say, “This is something your Seventh Uncle rewarded you with, being able to decipher a few Jade Coins would depend on your luck.”
