Chapter XXXVII
Due to the excesses of the ghostly creatures, the ghosts without a leader were quickly exterminated by the literati and warriors sent by the city lord.
Soon calm returned to the affected area, and the sun was shining again.
The Pure Court is a department under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Court, and it is not very high in terms of salary. In addition, most of the people who served in it were the children of princes and nobles, so they were greatly limited in terms of combat effectiveness and numbers.
In order to alleviate this pressure, the Imperial Court allowed local officials or extended families to set up disaster relief organizations, but these organizations had to file with the Imperial Court and pay a certain amount of management fees to the Imperial Court on a regular basis.
To say that it is a management fee is actually to allow these organizations to take on private work. As long as the fee is paid, the private work is also legal; If you don't pay it, you will be charged with a special crime and sanctioned by the royal court.
There is no sub-bureau set up by the Jingshiting in Jinling Castle, but there are self-recruited scholars and warriors under the command of the city lord. If the disaster area appears, the city lord's mansion will take on the responsibility of the pure world, and usually take on some tasks with bounties, after all, the salaries of these literati and warriors will have to be paid by the city lord himself.
"Look, there's a man sitting cross-legged."
"Huh? There is one, but how does it look like a beggar? ”
"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense, maybe it's a senior! Some old antiques just do things that we can't understand. ”
"You're talking about an antique, how old do you think he is? I think he's more of a bluff as a way to protect himself. This time, the ghosts in the disaster area are not low in IQ! ”
"That's right, let's go! Anyway, it's safe here, so let him continue to be his master here! ”
A group of scholars and warriors quickly returned to Jinling City with the glory of victory, and they seemed to have heard the cheers of the people in the city.
A sparrow fluttered its wings and landed on Miao Junfeng's shoulder.
Ordinary people may feel that it is not very unusual when they see it, but if they let the real masters see it, they will sigh at the unity of heaven and man in the wonderful handsome style.
Only by achieving the unity of heaven and man, and the harmony of one's own aura with heaven and earth, can spiritual animals not feel danger and strangeness, and take the initiative to fall on the body of the cultivator.
"Go ahead!" Miao Junfeng opened his eyes and said with a smile.
The sparrow flapped its wings, tilted its little head, and fluttered away.
Miao Junfeng slowly stood up and moved his body, after a "crackling" sound, Miao Junfeng felt refreshed.
"Solomon, it's very close to the six-star realm, only a layer of paper, as long as there is an opportunity, you can break through in one fell swoop."
"Well, I feel it. But it's hard to find such an opportunity! Before I do that, I have a suggestion that you might as well listen to first. ”
"Say it!"
"We practiced all the way, not entering every village or city, and immersed ourselves in the world of cultivation. I admit that we have gained a lot, but we must not be out of touch with the world and derailed from the times.
Do you know? You look really depressed now, even the beggars that this king saw back then are better than you are now. There is a big city in front of us, can we go into the city to buy a good set of clothes and clothes, and then have a good meal? ”
"Your suggestion is good, but you overlooked one point, which is that I don't have any money on me, not a single rune coin."
"Hehe, who made you have the great King Solomon as a counselor! You can earn no money! Don't you know how to refine weapons? As far as I know, in any big city, there will be a refiner guild, you go there to join a guild, and help people refine a few talismans, won't the money come? ”
"It makes sense, maybe I can take this opportunity to pierce this layer of window paper and let me enter the six-star realm in one fell swoop."
"I'm speechless, you're a complete cultivation maniac."
Miao Junfeng discerned the direction and walked towards the main road. If you follow the main road, you will eventually see the city.
The bustling flow of people and the traffic of cars made Miao Junfeng a little unacceptable for a while. Accustomed to the wilderness and being close to nature, he felt that it was really noisy.
"Jinling City" Miao Junfeng read softly.
Three large golden letters were carved three feet above the city gate. The majestic walls spread to the east and west, and there is no end in sight.
Miao Junfeng went out for the first time, and when he saw such a big city for the first time, he was amazed in his heart.
"It's right to come out and see, otherwise you will really become a frog at the bottom of the well. Judging from the size of the city in front of him, it is at least three times the size of Hecheng. ”
After settling down, Miao Junfeng walked into the city with the flow of people.
"Stop!"
Miao Junfeng heard the shout, but he wasn't sure if he was calling out to himself, and his footsteps didn't stop.
"I said you stop me, don't you hear! Don't look at it, it's you young beggar! ”
Miao Junfeng's footsteps stopped, and he turned to look behind him. I saw a fat man with a big belly and a small head, staring at him with wide eyes.
"Sir, are you looking for me?" Miao Junfeng didn't want to cause trouble, so he asked politely.
"It's okay, what's the matter with looking for you? There's not something you can get into, so hurry up and walk around the walls! The fat officer said impatiently.
"Why?"
"Why? Just because I'm the captain of the guard, I can let in whoever I want, and if I don't want you in, you won't be able to enter. ”
"Oh! But I don't remember that our dynasty has such a rule, could it be that you made this rule? ”
"It's me..., good boy, you dare to me! Come on, grab him and beat him up and beat him up and let him go. ”
"Why bother? I just want to go into the city, can I use such a big battle? "Miao Junfeng doesn't want to cause trouble, but it doesn't mean that he won't fight back when things come.
"Wait a minute, Chief Xu, for my sake, let him in! If something happens to him in the city, I won't need your city defense team to take action, and I'll capture him with my own hands! ”
"Yes, yes, with your old guarantee, don't say it's one him, even ten of him I'll let him in." Chief Xu's attitude suddenly changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and his face was flattering.
The old man nodded at him, and his eyes looked at Miao Junfeng again.
Facing the old man's gaze, Miao Junfeng arched his hand to him and expressed his gratitude. After that, he merged into the flow of people into the city and disappeared before the old man's eyes.
"I really don't know how to lift up, there is such a big man speaking for him, and he is so perfunctory, he deserves to be a beggar." Chief Xu took the opportunity to pat the old man's ass.
"I can't say that, I don't think he's simple. If I hadn't come forward just now, you would have to suffer. ”
"No, it won't! You must be joking. ”
"If you don't believe it, don't believe it! Say hello to your leaders for me, and welcome Chief Xu to sit with me when I have time. ”
"It's an honor, it's an honor, and I'll definitely visit you when I have time." Chief Xu still remembered his head, and he was already thinking about when he would be a guest at the old man's place.
