Chapter II: National Elections
The most important thing is to go out and have two taels of silver, Qiu Xiaotian is also the son of the mayor, and there are only a few taels of silver in his pocket, and he can't be cold anymore.
The silver sent by the imperial court is in his family's treasure house, and Qiu Xiaotian's father should not find out if he takes a little bit of silver.
Yu Simin used to be a thief, and it was easy to enter the treasure house without knowing it.
The treasure house of the Qiu family is relatively small, but there are many weapons in the collection, and the walls are full of dazzling weapons, hanging all kinds of weapons. After searching around, she couldn't find a place to store the silver, but a dagger caught her attention.
Yu Simin has been stealing for many years, and he has long been trained to be a pair of discerning eyes. You can tell at a glance what something is worth and what price it is. The dagger hanging in the corner is extraordinary at first glance. The dagger is printed with the other side flower pattern, the overall color is pitch black, there is a place on the blade of the dagger is concave, it seems to have been smashed by a heavy weapon, although it is not perfect, but after all, it is made of rare quicksand and stone, even if it is broken, the price is expensive.
Yu Simin didn't even think about putting the dagger directly into his baggage.
"It's strange that I saw with my own eyes that the money for disaster relief was brought in, but there was no money. Yu Simin searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Knocking on the floor and walls, there is no dark room. Not only did he feel that the old man really knew how to hide.
"Forget it, I can go all over the world without silver, who told us to have craftsmanship" Yu Simin gave up after searching for no results, and it was a big deal to go back to his old job.
When I came out of the treasure house, I heard that the master had returned. Yes, the old man came back without finding the silver, and he couldn't leave for a while.
Qiu Xiaotian's father, Qiu Renli, Yu Simin, really didn't want to be contacted, and a big man chattered endlessly as soon as he saw her.
When Qiu Renli went out to deal with the floods, he also gave her a task, and she must reach the five-body realm before Qiu Renli returns.
Everything is composed of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The realm of the five bodies is to enter the source of things, and to be able to perceive the five elements and absorb the five elements that exist between heaven and earth. Now Yu Simin is still wandering around the ninth order of Ning Yuan. The realm of condensing yuan is the basis for entering the base source of the spirit, as long as you can condense the yuan, you can comprehend the aura of heaven and earth. Yu Simin's previous body can be called a waste wood among waste wood, and cultivation is the slowest in everything, but she is not a brainless person, and cultivation is not suitable for herself, so go another way.
She chose witchcraft. Witchcraft is considered evil by the decent and is spurned by the Gogaku. Leng Chengye and Gu Suxuan asked her not to take this path, she didn't want to listen to them, and insisted on taking the path she chose. It turns out that she is right, without her cute bugs, she would not have been able to control the demon beast herd to rival Wuyue.
It's a pity that Yu Simin was suddenly dragged to Phoenix Town in the south of the Yangtze River to be resurrected, her Gu King Bibao is still in the Mountain of No Return, and she has to go to the Mountain of No Return first to bring Bibao with her when she goes out this time.
Qiu Xiaotian's physical qualifications are obviously much better than Yu Simin's, but Yu Simin is too lazy and doesn't want to cultivate. Qiu Renli also noticed the changes in his son, so he had the task given to her before going out.
Qiu Renli is a man with five big and three coarse, because he has been running around for a long time and dealing with floods, so he is very old, and it is difficult to connect him with the lord of a town when he walks outside.
As soon as he entered the house, he shouted Qiu Xiaotian in a loud voice, and Yu Simin could hear the old man shouting about himself in the side courtyard. Follow the chopping platform and cry to see the old man.
The old man took a sip of tea and saw Qiu Xiaotian swaying left and right like a puppet, swimming in extremely slowly. Looking at the slow autumn smile, Tian burst into tears: "You won't hurry." It's so slow, the ants are going to be trampled to death by you, and a little sympathy can't be done. ”
Yu Simin was still thinking about how to shake her whole body because of the old man's shouting when she was facing Old Man Qiu. Yu Simin is definitely not afraid of the old man, but he just doesn't want to listen to the old man's ramblings.
"Have you completed the task I gave you?"
"It's still a little bit done, or you have a few more days," Yu Simin tried to bargain.
"It's been more than half a month, and you haven't broken through yet, you ......" Old Man Qiu pointed at Qiu Xiaotian and stopped talking, and finally sighed.
Yu Simin, who was standing on the side, thought to himself that it was over, and it was time to start.
"Laugh my God, you see that you are not too young, can you make people save some snacks. At the beginning, your mother put her life on the line in order to give birth to you, and it was not easy for me to take you, why don't you know how to do your filial piety. I don't expect you to have much ability, now that the world is chaotic, I want you to cultivate well, so that you have the ability to protect yourself. What about you? What's wrong with you lately, it's getting more and more unpleasant. ......”
Yu Simin honestly stood next to him to listen to the training, and a few times he almost couldn't stand the old man and turned away, because the old man was Qiu Xiaotian's father, and he occupied other people's bodies.
Old Man Qiu has been talking from Shen Shi to Xu Shi, saying that the sun has been setting for a long time and there is no sign of stopping. In the end, the old man stopped when he was hungry and asked his subordinates to prepare the meal.
Yu Simin thought that the old man had said that it was time to rest his mouth for so long, but he didn't expect to change the topic and continue to talk about it during the meal.
"Laughing at my God, there have been some people from the court in the town recently, who have come for the country's election, and it would be terrible if they were favored. Those who can be selected by the imperial envoy are all extremely talented talents, and all those who are selected will be brought to Liangzhou for a competition. One first-class, second-class ten, and third-class hundred, a total of one hundred and eleven will be directly included in the Heavenly Spirit Academy, and they will also focus on training, and at least one will be a governor when the time comes. If you kid can't get the second grade, you can get the top three, and if you can't get the top three, you can show your face and have a long insight. During the national election, the elders and heads of the four mountains will also go, in case you are favored by those leaders, you can worship the four mountains. ”
The biggest beneficiary of the Demon Burning War is the Yankang royal family, Siyue is controlled to death, the so-called national election is also when Siyue recruits disciples, the first hundred or so will be directly included in the Heavenly Spirit Academy, and Siyue can only choose from the rest of the people who recruit disciples.
Tianling Academy is the first state-run school, and Yankang relies on his great power to forcibly require Siyue to contribute Fa Secrets, and Siyue's outstanding disciples can also study in Tianling Academy.
Old Man Qiu obviously looked down on Yu Simin, and directly skipped the first class and started from the second class. Thinking about how majestic Yu Simin was back then, he was a one-man rival to Wuyue.
Yu Simin has not avenged his revenge, and the person who framed him has not yet been found, so he doesn't want to join in the fun, so he shook his head and said, "I'm not interested, don't go." Besides, if you want to be favored by the imperial envoy, you have to reach the five bodies, and the imperial envoy will not be able to get by, let alone Dabi."
Old man Qiu was rarely silent, watching Yu Simin eat the black chicken soup in front of him.
Yu Simin thought that this old man had nothing to do with her, and he had nothing to say.
She didn't eat much before she felt full, she couldn't help but burp, and the aura around her suddenly surged, Yu Simin only felt that the strength in her body continued to climb upward, and her whole body was refreshed.
Yu Simin couldn't cry or laugh, and let her break through with a full burp. looked at the black chicken soup she ate, what kind of black chicken soup is there, the stewed chicken is not black chicken but phoenix spirit chicken, seeing that the quality of the spirit level is not low, the old man really paid for her.
"Now that you are a cultivator of the Five-Body Realm, you can be selected by the imperial envoy to go to Liangzhou" Old Man Qiu smiled secretly in his heart, and he still wanted to fight more.
"Even so, I don't want to go, didn't you say before that you didn't want me to have any big profits, as long as I can protect myself, I can completely protect myself in Phoenix Town now"
"What are you talking about, that parent doesn't want their child to become a dragon and a phoenix, and you have to go if you don't go. I will let the loyal butler follow you and escort you all the way to Liangzhou. Loyal stewardship is the power of infancy, and you can't run away if you want to."
Yes, if you don't go, you'll have to go. In fact, it is not necessarily a bad thing to go, and news from places with many people also circulates to go to Liangzhou to inquire about Leng Chengye's whereabouts, and it may be faster. The outstanding disciples of Siyue are all in the Heavenly Spirit Academy, and Yu Simin can collect some interest there.
"It's not impossible to go to the national election, I want to take a detour to the Mountain of No Return. ”
"It's a place of great murder now, what are you going to do there?"
"You just say it's okay or not"
"All right, but the loyal steward will follow. ”
