Chapter 49: Windfall
Heishui Town was originally a prosperous town, the people were simple and lived a rich life, but in just a few months, the entire Heishui Town had become a dead domain, full of wandering corpse demons, and the smell of rancid could be smelled ten miles away.
"Wangβ" The little fox smelled the rancid smell from afar, and cried out in disgust.
"Bear with me." Ling Chi took out a napkin and tied it to the little fox's mouth: "If you solve the Red Ghost King, leave." β
"Wow......" The little fox buried his napkin mouth in the crook of Ling Chi's arm, resisting the pervasive rancid smell.
Zhao Ling'er frowned slightly, and said, "The entire people in Blackwater Town are dead, this Red Ghost King is really damned." β
"So it's important to get rid of him sooner." Ling Chi said, "This is also a training for you. β
"Hmm." Zhao Ling'er nodded, and the two of them and a fox eliminated all the corpse demons along the way, and entered the general mound with heavy yin qi.
Compared with Blackwater Town, there are very few corpse demons in the general's mound, but they are more powerful, and every time they knock down one, there will be a lot of movement, of course, this is related to Zhao Linger's lack of combat experience, as the number of corpse demons increases, the more he goes to the back, the smaller the movement Zhao Ling'er makes, and when he comes to the depths of the general's mound, Zhao Ling'er is already very easy to kill the corpse demon.
Progress visible to the naked eye.
Seeing Zhao Ling'er's might, the little fox's eyes were shining, full of envy.
A big hand stroked its head, and Ling Chi said, "If you work hard to cultivate in the future, you will become as powerful as Ling'er." β
The little fox closed his eyes, feeling that Ling Chi's embrace was very warm, and it was very comfortable to touch, and he didn't want to work hard anymore.
At the end of the general's mound, a huge coffin appeared in front of the two of them and a fox, and Ling Chi said: "There is a heavy death gas in the coffin, Ling'er be careful." β
Zhao Ling'er nodded and threw a fireball towards the coffin.
With a bang, the coffin was submerged in flames.
"Roarβ"
With a loud roar, a huge ghoul wearing bronze armor appeared in front of Zhao Ling'er: "Who woke up General Ben!?" β
Zhao Ling'er saw this skeleton shelf, and without saying a word, he let out a wild thunder spell, and the ghoul screamed miserably.
Thunder and lightning are the nemesis of evil in the world, this ghoul is dead, and he is even more restrained by thunder and lightning, and now Zhao Ling'er is much stronger than himself in the same period in the game, this ghoul can't resist it at all, and after a few screams, it becomes a dry bone, and his soul is scattered.
The little fox's eyes brightened: "Wow......"
Zhao Ling'er grinned: "Mei'er doesn't need to be envious, you will be as powerful as me in the future." β
"Wang!" The little fox wagged its tail.
"Alright." Ling Chi said: "That Red Ghost King is down there, be careful, go down." β
"Below?" Zhao Ling'er looked at the ground under her feet and was about to ask: Where did you come from?
Seeing Ling Chi's feet stamped, the ground of the entire tomb collapsed instantly, Zhao Ling'er screamed, and her body fell downward.
At this critical moment, Zhao Ling'er showed a strong psychological quality, and a second before her body was about to land, her body was suspended in the air and slowly fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Ling Chi nodded with a smile: "Not bad." β
Zhao Ling'er pouted: "Master~~~~"
"What would you do if Master wasn't there?" Ling Chi asked.
Zhao Ling'er stopped talking.
Ling Chi looked at the scene in front of him, there was a huge pool of blood, full of fishy blood, this fishy smell made the little fox hide in the crook of Ling Chi's arm and couldn't escape, and shouted angrily: "Wangwang! β
Zhao Ling'er frowned slightly: "With so much blood, it can be seen that this demon doesn't know how many lives have been killed." β
"So do your best to eliminate him, don't let him run." Ling Chi said.
"Hmm." Zhao Ling'er nodded, and the two of them continued to go deeper.
Soon, at the end of the pool of blood, they saw the Red Ghost King emerging from the pool of blood.
The Red Ghost King's body shape and appearance are similar to ordinary people, but he is much larger than ordinary people, dressed like a businessman, with a hideous and vicious face, a red eye on his forehead, and his eyes are also red.
Xiao Shi spoke up: "Master, he is the Red Ghost King!" β
The Red Ghost King heard the sound of the small stone, saw Zhao Ling'er's wrist, and snorted coldly: "I was still wondering just now, how could mortals get here!?" It turns out that the Jade Buddha Bead is helping you, hum! Little bald donkey, you cultivate your Buddha, I refine my demons, we once said that the well water does not interfere with the river water. Today you have treacherously brought mortals to smash my territory!? β
Xiaoshi said: "You have done a lot of evil, and now my master has come to surrender you, and you are still not captured." β
"Joke!" The Red Ghost King was furious, and made the Blood Demon Divine Skill attack Zhao Ling'er.
"Wang-" the little fox shouted, as if to say, "Be careful! β
"Hey!" A rock wall appeared in front of Zhao Ling'er, blocking the Red Ghost King's Blood Demon Divine Skill.
The next moment, Zhao Ling'er recited a spell and summoned a huge phantom, this phantom was a giant man covered in runes and holding a long axe, the giant man was extremely powerful and domineering, seeing the Red Ghost King, he raised the long axe in his hand high and slashed towards the Red Ghost King!
Demons, monsters, slash!
"Ah~~~~!!" The Red Ghost King screamed miserably, was cut off by the Martial God, and struggled to the death for a few times, and then lost his luster in his eyes, and died.
The little fox was already stunned.
Zhao Ling'er exhaled, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said, "It's really a little reluctant to use the Martial God." β
"Not really." Ling Chi said: "You have consumed a lot of mana and physical strength before, so now you are only in a half-blooded state and fighting with the Red Ghost King, and being able to use the Martial God means that you are stronger than when you just left Fairy Spirit Island." β
"Really?" Zhao Linger was a little happy, but also a little incredulous.
"Of course." The big hand gently stroked her head: "You are the Nuwa bloodline, the most noble bloodline in this world." β
Zhao Ling'er enjoyed Ling Chi's touch, hummed softly, and said, "Master, Ling'er didn't embarrass you, right?" β
"Of course not." Ling Chi smiled, "I'm proud of you. β
"Hee-hee." Zhao Ling'er's face turned red, full of joy.
"Wow!" The little fox screamed twice, jumped out of Ling Chi's arms, ran to the Red Ghost King, and took out an earthy yellow bead from his neckline.
"Huh?" Zhao Ling'er was very surprised: "Earth Spirit Bead? β
The little fox jumped into Ling Chi's arms and spit out the Earth Spirit Bead to him.
Ling Chi looked at this Earth Spirit Bead, which was exactly the same as the Water Spirit Bead, but with a different color, and said, "The Earth Spirit Bead is full of spiritual energy, and it is indeed the Earth Spirit Bead." β
Before Han Lingsha and Yun Tianhe entered the Qionghua faction, they had obtained an earth spirit bead in Nuluoyan, and later Han Lingsha gave him the earth spirit bead as a gift for apprenticeship, but fifty years later, the earth spirit bead was exhausted and disintegrated by itself.
But it doesn't matter, even if the five spirit beads are destroyed, they will be regenerated in the places where their respective spiritual energy is most dense after a while, such as the water spirit bead of the town faction of the Qionghua faction back then, which was also obtained by Zixuan after disintegrating by itself, and later Zixuan froze Lin Qing'er with water spirit beads for sixty years, until Lin Qing'er began to grow up until he sacrificed to seal the Demon Lock Tower. Later, the water spirit bead was stolen by Li Sansi and used as a toy for Li Xiaoyao, and Ling Chi retrieved it and returned it to Lin Qing'er.
Now, that water spirit bead is kept by the Nanban King, and it will be returned to him when Zhao Ling'er returns to succeed him.
And this regenerated Earth Spirit Bead, going around and around, still returned to Ling Chi's hands.
"I didn't expect the Earth Spirit Bead to come back again, you and I are really fateful." Ling Chi smiled.
"Master, have you seen the Earth Spirit Bead before?" Zhao Ling'er asked.
"Of course." Ling Chi said: "More than two hundred years ago, your senior sister Han Lingsha obtained the Earth Spirit Bead and gave it to the teacher as a gift, but later the aura was exhausted and disintegrated on its own. And this one is a newly generated earth spirit bead. β
"I see." Zhao Ling'er nodded.
The little fox opened his eyes, looked at Ling Chi's appearance, and screamed.
"Do you think I'm young?" Ling Chi said with a smile.
"Wang!"
"That's right, I'm only eighteen years old, after all." Ling Chi said with a smile.
βοΌοΌοΌβ
"Master, let's go!" Zhao Ling'er said: "It stinks too much here. β
"Okay." Ling Chi nodded and said, "Wait for the master to recite the mantra of the past life, and the undead here will leave." β
Zhao Ling'er's eyes were full of reverence: "Master, Ling'er helps you." β
"Okay."
β¦β¦
The two recited the death spell for three days and three nights in the blood pool and the general's mound, before they overtook all the undead and sent them to the reincarnation of the underworld.
Looking at the general's mound with a much fresher air, the little fox ran around happily, this is the air it wants.
Ling Chi looked at Zhao Ling'er, whose face was much haggard, and took out two meat buns and handed them to her: "It's hard work." β
"It's not hard." Zhao Ling'er shook her head, gnawed on the meat bun, lifted her spirits, and said, "Master, Ling'er is very happy to have overlived the unjust souls here and let them enter the underworld for reincarnation." β
"Just be happy." Ling Chi threw a meat bun to the little fox who ran over to rub his trouser leg, and said, "The matter here is all settled, wait until you go back to Baihe Village next time to inform Han Yixian." β
"Hmm." Zhao Ling'er nodded.
"Do you want to go back to Suzhou for two days?" Ling Chi asked.
Zhao Ling'er thought for a while and shook her head: "Suzhou is almost gone, Ling'er wants to go somewhere else to play." β
"Okay." Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "This place is not far from Yangzhou, and when Han Yixian is notified, let's go to Yangzhou!" β
"Hmm."
β¦β¦
Baihe Village, because three days have passed, the news of the elimination of the corpse demon in Heishui Town has also reached here, seeing Ling Chi and Zhao Ling'er coming back, Han Yixian excitedly thanked the two of them again and again.
"Han Yixian doesn't have to be polite." Ling Chi said: "Punishing the traitor and eliminating the evil is originally a matter within my Qionghua faction, it is better to say that the corpse demons in Heishui Town have been in trouble for several months, but no one in my Qionghua faction has found out, which is the real dereliction of duty." When I go back, I'll definitely teach those rabbits a hard lesson. β
Han Yixian was dumbfounded.
Dare to call the disciple of the Qionghua faction 'rabbit cub', what is the identity of this Lingchi Sword Immortal in front of him!?
"The matter has been settled, and it is time for us to go." Ling Chi said: "Han Yi Xianduo take care. β
"Sword Immortal, are you leaving? Please stay, at least let the old decay exhaust the friendship of the landlord. Han Yixian hurriedly retained.
"No need." Ling Chi shook his head and said, "I still have to accompany my apprentice to Yangzhou, next time!" β
"This ......"
"Dad, are there any guests?" At this time, a gentle voice came from behind, Ling Chi turned around and looked, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
What a girl with Zhong Lingyu and a loving body.
"Mengci!" Han Yixian saw the girl and said, "Come and meet the two immortal elders." β
"Immortal?" The girl stepped forward and saluted Ling Chi and Zhao Ling'er: "Han Mengci pays a visit to the two immortal elders. β
"Ahh Sister doesn't have to be polite, I'm not an immortal, my master is. Zhao Ling'er hurriedly waved her hand.
"Oh?" Han Mengci glanced at Ling Chi with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Is the Immortal Elder the Ling Chi Sword Immortal that my father has been talking about for the past few days?" β
"If there is no one else named Ling Chi, it should be me." Ling Chi said.
Han Mengci pursed her lips and smiled, "Lingchi Sword Immortal is really funny. β
"Huh." Ling Chi looked at Han Mengci, the more she looked at her, the more she felt that she was a good seedling of cultivating immortals, and turned her head to ask Han Yixian: "This girl is Han Yixian's daughter?" β
"It's the little girl Mengci." Han Yixian said.
Ling Chi nodded and asked, "I don't know how old Miss Mengci is?" β
Han Yixian was stunned for a moment and said, "The little girl will be sixteen in another month." β
"Sixteen? Well. Ling Chi nodded, looked at Han Mengci a few more times, and suddenly asked, "Miss Mengci, do you want to cultivate immortals?" β
"Huh!?" Han Mengci and Han Yixian were both stunned.
"Miss Mengci is a rare immortal cultivator, if she is a good student, she will become a great tool within ten years." Ling Chi said.
"This ......" Han Yixian was stunned, and he never dreamed that his daughter was actually a seedling of cultivating immortals.
If it was someone else, he would definitely agree ecstatically, but Han Yixian hesitated, and Han Mengci himself was silent.
"How?" Ling Chi asked, "Does Han Yixian have any concerns?" β
"It's true." Han Yixian smiled bitterly: "The little girl and Jiang Shaoyun, the eldest son of the Jiang family, have a marriage contract, and originally waited until the little girl turned sixteen to be hired, if the little girl left, wouldn't Han have become a treacherous villain?" β
"I see." Ling Chi nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will let the son of the Jiang family give up the employment, I only ask Miss Mengci if she is willing to cultivate immortals like me Qionghua faction?" β
Han Mengci didn't return immediately, and turned her head to look at Han Yixian.
Han Yixian sighed lightly and said, "Mengci, if you want, go ahead!" If my Han family can produce a sword immortal, it will also be a good thing for the glory of the ancestors. β
Han Mengci hummed lightly and said, "I'm willing to go." β
"Okay." Ling Chi nodded with a smile and said, "I'll go and persuade the Jiang family, you should prepare well today, and you will go to the Qionghua faction with me early tomorrow morning." β
"Yes." Han Mengci nodded lightly: "There is Lao Lingchi Sword Immortal." β
"Not necessarily."
β¦β¦
Because of Han Mengci's incident, Ling Chi delayed for another half a day, and after sending Han Mengci to the Qionghua faction the next day and letting her worship under the elders of the Qionghua faction who were the best at alchemy, he took Zhao Ling'er to Yangzhou.
In front of the gate of Yangzhou City, there was a notice plate erected, on which several notices were pasted, Zhao Ling'er looked at the novelty and leaned over to take a look.
Notice: "According to the order of Yangzhou Taishou, the city has been rampant recently, in order to truly track down the suspects, all cadres and others are only allowed to enter the city and not go out of the city." β
Notice: "Recently, the female snitch group has been lawless, stealing and committing many evils in the city, and this order is hereby issued, and there is a secret report that the person who has confirmed it will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver." β
Seizure notice: The Gongsun family, corrupt the law, colluded with officials and businessmen, sentenced all property to be confiscated and the house was sealed, and the 14 members of the Gongsun family were exiled to the frontier.
Reward notice: Jiangyang thief You Tianba, murder and arson, sharp silver robbery, robbery and abduction, all kinds of evil, this order is hereby issued to severely arrest You Tianba, and assist the captor to reward 500 taels of silver.
Notice: According to the order of Yangzhou city and county, the curfew is strictly enforced, and all idle people are not allowed to go out at night, and those who violate the regulations are detained for three days and fined 30 taels of silver. Those who fail to report the knowledge of the criminal syndicate shall be fined 300 taels of silver. Those who spit and urinate will be fined 20 taels of silver. Anyone who obstructs official business shall be fined 100 taels of silver. It is strictly forbidden to gamble, and violators will be fined 300 taels of silver. If the dog hurts a person, he will be fined ten taels of silver.
After reading these notices, Zhao Ling'er was surprised: "Ah! It seems to be very severe. β
"It's really harsh." Ling Chi thought thoughtfully: "To put it nicely, this is too strict governance; To put it mildly, it is clear that it is to find an excuse to accumulate money, and there is a good chance that he is a corrupt official. β
"Will it?" Zhao Ling'er was stunned.
"Will it be, just go in and find out." Ling Chi smiled slightly, looked at the officials standing at the gate of the city guarding the door, and said, "Looking at their serious expressions and cautious looks, it seems that the female snitch in the city is indeed very fierce." β
"Just in time, we can go get those female snitches." Zhao Linger said.
"If those female snitches are bad, they will naturally be caught, and if they are just intercepting ill-gotten gains and relieving the poor, then it's a different matter." Ling Chi said: "Although the decree is like a mountain, it is understandable if the ruler is ignorant and corrupt, and uses some unconventional means. β
Zhao Ling'er was thoughtful.
"Wang!" The little fox squealed in agreement.
"It's still Mei'er smart." Ling Chi smiled and touched the little fox's head, the little fox squinted his eyes and wagged his tail.
Zhao Ling'er pouted and said, "Master~~~"
"Ling'er is also very smart." Ling Chi said with a smile: "It's just that Ling'er is too kind, you know, kindness also has to be divided into objects, and indiscriminate kindness will only harm others and yourself." β
Zhao Linger fell into deep thought again.
"Let's go to the city!" Ling Chi said: "It's not too late, go into the city to find an inn to live in, taste the food of Yangzhou by the way, and visit the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou." β
"Hmm." Zhao Ling'er nodded and walked towards the city with Ling Chi.
In front of the city gate, the official guarding the gate said: "I am the patrol of Yangzhou Mansion, in order to filter and check the suspects, you can go in, but you are not allowed to go out of the city." β
Ling Chi looked at him and said, "If we catch the female snitch, will we be able to leave?" β
"Not bad." The patrol said, "Not only can you leave, but you can also get a reward of a few hundred taels of silver." β
"Heh, a few hundred taels of silver, it's really a lot." Ling Chi smiled faintly and entered the city with Zhao Ling'er.
The patrol looked at Ling Chi's back and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: what a strong sense of oppression, this person is not simple.
β¦β¦
In Yangzhou City, Ling Chi took Zhao Ling'er to find an inn in the city and open a room.
The innkeeper said, "Guest officer, if you want to stay, there is only one room left on the far right of the upper floor." β
"......" Ling Chi was a little speechless, why did he get to Yangzhou or only one?
Zhao Ling'er's face also turned red, and she always felt that there was a providence in the dark.
"One is just one!" Ling Chi said: "I'm tired of giving us a table of good wine and good food, and we want a signature dish." β
The shopkeeper smiled: "Rest assured, the guest officer is guaranteed to be the most delicious signature dish in the whole Yangzhou." β
And then......
"It's unpalatable." Zhao Ling'er felt the pickiness of her taste buds and said, "This stir-fried rape with shiitake mushrooms has too many defects. β
"This crab roe lion's head is not home." Ling Chi looked helpless: "It seems that the chef of this inn is very poor. β
"What should I do?" Zhao Ling'er looked at the table full of dishes, and trimmed her eyebrows: "You can't pour it, right?" β
"Even the food on the plate is hard work." Ling Chi said: "If it's unpalatable, it's unpalatable!" It can't be wasted, otherwise it is the greatest disrespect to the chef, no matter how bad his level is. β
Ling Chi took out a plate of dumplings from the space and said, "You eat this, I will eat these dishes myself." β
"Nope." Zhao Ling'er shook her head: "Master can eat, Ling'er can eat too." β
Watching Zhao Ling'er eat these meals on the table hard, Ling Chi smiled slightly, put the dumplings under the table, and let the little fox eat them. Although it was just an ordinary sleep, it flashed with purple light, and after the little fox ate it, he instantly felt that his body was full of strength.
Five-Qi Dumplings: Five-series aura +5, valid three times.
β¦β¦
After eating the signature dish that was not delicious for the two of them, seeing that it was still early, Ling Chi took Zhao Ling'er and the little fox out for a spin.
Compared with Suzhou, the prosperity of Yangzhou is not inferior at all, but the streets and alleys are full of voices cursing the new Yangzhou Taishou, which makes Zhao Linger unconsciously look at Ling Chi.
"To put it nicely, this is too strict governance; To put it mildly, it is clear that it is to find an excuse to accumulate money, and there is a good chance that he is a corrupt official. β
Thinking of what the master said outside the city gate, Zhao Ling'er worshiped more and more: What the master said was indeed right.
Unconsciously, the two of them walked to the northernmost city wall of Yangzhou City and looked at the scenery in the distance.
"The view is so nice." Zhao Ling'er looked at the burning clouds in the sky, took a deep breath, and was very relaxed physically and mentally.
"The world is big, so if you have the opportunity, you must make it and walk around." Ling Chi said: "It can not only broaden your knowledge and broaden your horizons, but also cleanse your body and mind and temper your will, which is very beneficial to your governance of the Bai Miao people." β
"Hmm." Zhao Ling'er nodded and smiled sweetly: "Master, it's good to meet you." β
"Why did you suddenly stir up a relationship?" Ling Chi said with a smile: "It's useless to sensationalize, you have to cook at night." β
Zhao Ling'er pouted, with a coquettish face: "Master~~~~~"
"Hehe......" Ling Chi was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that a house was a little strange.
"Shh~~~" Ling Chi raised his fingers, made a silent gesture, and then pressed Zhao Ling'er's head, hiding behind the battlements to observe the situation.
Zhao Ling'er looked dazed, and said, "Master, what's wrong?" β
"Don't talk, look at the house." Lingchi Transmission.
Houses?
Zhao Ling'er turned her head to look at the house not far away, and saw that in the courtyard of this house, there was a brightly dressed woman standing, throwing a package into the well in the courtyard.
Zhao Ling'er frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it for a while.
