Volume 2 Shui Bo Chapter 39 County Lieutenant Luo Qi
Qiyun Tea House, quiet room.
The morning sun shines through the window lattice, giving a warm hue to the dreary tea room. Tea smoke floats in the air, giving people a sense of tranquility.
Du Lengqiu stirred the tea lid, but did not drink, just sniffed the faint fragrance of tea. Opposite him was a square-faced middle-aged man in an eight-rank cyan official uniform.
"Zi'an Xian's nephew, it's not that the old man doesn't help, but he has a weak heart. The middle-aged man was full of sadness
Du Lengqiu secretly scolded in his heart: Zheng Fu pays thousands of taels of silver every year, but now he only gets one who is powerless, which is really MMP.
He put down the tea bowl and said lightly: "I have my own way to deal with it at the Yamen, the governor of the grain road, and I asked Uncle Luo to come over today, mainly to ask you for a small favor." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and complained, and said: "Hey, Luo Mou, the county lieutenant, deserves to be aggrieved, this small Zhongsu County, there is a government official as the uncle, and the governor of the grain road, the yamen is the master, I can't afford to provoke all of them, it's not a human life." ”
Du Lengqiu only listened quietly, fiddling with the tea bowl.
Luo Qi was long-winded for a long time before turning to the topic, "What does the virtuous nephew want me to help with?"
"Hehe, Uncle Luo is here in Dongmu, and he has acquainted with the three sects and the nine streams, I don't know if I know anything about the Pai Sect?"
"Pai Jiao?" Luo Qi's brows furrowed, and then he spoke earnestly, "Virtuous nephew, Pai Jiao is not easy to mess with." Let's be busy all our lives, and we want to be a money beauty, what do we have to do with those outlaws? Listen to my uncle's advice, and stay away from those people. ”
"Uncle Luo misunderstood. I'm just getting some information for someone, it's all the orders of the big guest in my house, and my little nephew can't refuse. Du Lengqiu was sure that this Luo Qi couldn't speak in front of Fang Furu, and he was not afraid of being exposed.
"Oh. Luo Qi was still a little timid.
"As long as Uncle Luo finds out the person, the doorman of the Fang family will naturally come forward to do the matter. If something happens, let's pick it clean. Besides, who in this Dongmu Mansion would dare to go against the prime minister's son?"
"If Uncle Luo finds someone, I will pay 5,000 taels of silver to buy this news. Even if I am unlucky enough not to find it, I have five hundred taels of hard work here. ”
As soon as he heard the five thousand taels of silver, Luo Qi's eyes were a little red. He was short of breath and slammed the table, "Okay, I'll take this job." ”
There must be brave men under heavy rewards, this sentence is not said in vain. The salary of my low-level officials in the Tang Dynasty is really not high, especially this county lieutenant, who does dirty work and tiring work, and he is full of tears when he says it. If this Luo Qi doesn't get some extra money, how can he afford to raise a family with a few beautiful outer rooms.
"Uncle Luo is really refreshing, if there is news, go to Muyunzhuang to inform me in time, don't delay. ”
"Hey, how did the virtuous nephew move to Muyunzhuang. ”
"Hey" Du Lengqiu sighed helplessly, "The third son of this house came to Dongmu, the concubine brought more than 100 numbers, and the door guests and servants were nearly 100 people, although the courtyard of my house is large, it can't receive so many guests." I really can't afford to provoke it, so I can only hide in the countryside for the time being and let the yard out. ”
Luo Qi put down the tea bowl and laughed loudly, with a lot of envy in his laughter, "Haha, it turns out that the virtuous nephew was kicked out." Speaking of which, the life of this third room is enviable. The tigress in my family is not allowed to take concubines, and she has to hide and hide in two outer rooms, which is really not a human life. As he spoke, he shook his head again and again.
"On behalf of the majority of single dogs in the world, I condemn you, and I wish you never lift it for the rest of your life!" Du Lengqiu shook his head with a sneer
said goodbye to Luo Qi and went straight out of the city.
The reason why Du Lengqiu moved his family away from the county seat was, of course, not because of Fang Furu. That's just a seemingly legitimate reason for Luo Qi to hear.
There is only one reason to leave, to stay away from the city god.
Whether it is condensing the blood god or casting supernatural powers, Du Lengqiu has never thought about hiding from the city god, this is his main killing method, once the battle is bound to be exposed, there is no need to hide.
But he still felt that his strength was insufficient, and he needed to retreat and practice for a few days. This is precisely for this purpose.
Muyunzhuang is about 20 miles away from the capital city, close to Qinshui, and the scenery is beautiful.
As soon as Du Lengqiu stepped into the manor, he saw the bustling scene. Dozens of carriages lined up like a long line, and I don't know how many aunts were in command, and all kinds of maids and servants were taking boxes and packages of different sizes from the carriages and piling them up outside.
went to visit the comatose cheap father, but found that the grandmother and a few maids were also there. Du Lengqiu was a little puzzled, it was said that he had just been beaten with some sticks, why he hadn't woken up yet, this shouldn't be.
The white-haired grandmother was on crutches, hunched over, watching her son getting thinner and thinner, with a sad expression, "Our Zheng family has built bridges and paved roads, and has done countless good deeds, why should my son suffer such a crime?"
"Mother don't worry, the old man has his own nature, and he will wake up in a few days if he wants to come. The woman, though she looked haggard, tried to comfort her.
Du Lengqiu interjected on the side and said: "The famous doctors in Dongmu Mansion have poor diagnosis and treatment results, we can go to Xinbo Mansion and Shannan Mansion." If the mountain does not come, people will go to the mountain. We are not afraid of high mountains and long roads, as long as we can cure our father, what are we afraid of when the road is far?" paused, "Grandma, you are old, just ask a famous doctor to regulate your body, it is better to go on the road together, let a few aunts wait, and the road is not lonely." ”
"What does Grandma think?"
The old grandmother hadn't spoken yet, but the aunt next to her had her eyes lit up, and hurriedly said: "I heard that there is a divine doctor in Shannan Mansion who is called the Five Breath Hand, no matter how many illnesses there are, as long as the time of taking the pulse of the five pulses, the diagnosis will be clear and clear, and the magic is like a god." It's just that he lives in seclusion in the apricot forest and never travels far. If you want to see a doctor, you have to go to Shannan Mansion. ”
The old grandmother looked at her grandson and thoughtfully, "Qiu Guan'er, I haven't seen you for the past few days, and your hair has turned a lot darker." Gray hair turns black, this is a good omen!"
Du Lengqiu condensed the blood god, his blood was abundant, and his white hair naturally turned black, and now he was half black and not white, like old and young, and very weird.
"My grandson has not been idle these days, I have found some ways, and it is estimated that my Zheng family's disaster of transporting autumn grain this time can be avoided, but it will inevitably cost a lot of silver taels. ”
"Money and things outside the body, as long as your father and son are safe, are better than anything else. Qiu Guan'er, you just have to let it go. ”
"With grandma's words, our Zheng family can't be defeated. "Du Lengqiu didn't take the governor of the grain road in his eyes at all, the city god was the source of the trouble, but this kind of thing was in vain, and no one could help.
"Father's illness can't be delayed, take a day off today, and set off early tomorrow morning. ”
Grandma is old and fine, she seems to have noticed something, and nodded slowly, "It's okay, Hongliu, you go and inform the housekeeper to prepare the carriage and horses, there are just ready-made, let's go." ”
After sending all his family members away, Du Lengqiu has no worries, although he doesn't have too much affection for these family members, but meeting is fate, and it is better to help if he can help.
Locking himself in the study, Du Lengqiu instructed Li Meng to guard the door and not allow anyone to disturb him before starting to cultivate. But before everything began, Du Lengqiu still squandered some pen and ink, and after completely concentrating and calming down, he took out the secret book "Iron God Pile" and slowly flipped through it word by word.
This secret book from Gombro has been in the dust in his hands for a long time. At this time, after reading the entire cheats and Gombro's annotations, Du Lengqiu understood why Ji Shen was rampant in the world and invincible for a while.
This secret technique is practiced to the bone, but it is not the orthodox cultivation bone god "Hanyu", but a different way, refining the bones with hardware elites, making the bones extremely hard. At the same time, the hardware elite can release the body, which is much more clever than the golden bell jar and the thirteen Taibao horizontal exercises based on exercising skin and flesh.
The Iron God Pile has been cultivated to the Dacheng stage, which is enough to resist the attack of the supernatural power.
At the beginning of the battle of Chiyang Mountain, Du Lengqiu attacked with a sword talisman given by Tiandu, although he destroyed the defense of the Iron God Pile, but he did not kill Ji Shendu with one blow, which shows the power of this Iron God Pile. Although he is not taking the orthodox path, he is just finding another way, but Ji Shendu can still be called an unborn genius.
What matched the power of the Iron God Pile was the difficulty of its cultivation, which could be called the hell level. The first point is that the process of cultivation is extremely painful, and the second is that it requires extremely terrifying resources.
The Thirteen Taibao horizontal exercises are extremely widespread in the rivers and lakes, but the practice is very rare, and it is necessary to continuously beat the body with wooden sticks and iron rods, supplemented by secret ointment exercises, and some people may think that this is an extremely painful thing. But compared to cultivating the Iron God Stake, it can be called a piece of cake. Cultivating the Iron God Pile is not far behind Ling Chi's pain.
Well, for the sake of great strength, the pain while cultivating can also be endured.
But the amount of resources required to cultivate the Iron God Pile is also desperate. According to the secret book, if you want to refine Dacheng, hardware, that is, gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin, each needs ten tons.
Copper, iron, and tin are counted. But gold and silver, a precious metal, is definitely an astronomical amount in tons. This was especially true in ancient times, when precious metals were scarce.
Even in a modern society where civilization is thriving, ten tons of gold is still an unattainable number. According to the calculation of 200 yuan for one gram of gold, it takes 2 billion to buy ten tons of gold. Besides, even if you have enough coins, you can't buy enough gold, and there is no place where you will have so much gold except in the government coffers.
Why did Ji Shendu take refuge in the grassland barbarians, in addition to his own world-class achievements, asking for enough gold and silver to worship is also one of the important reasons.
Du Lengqiu closed the cheats and scratched his head, a little distressed. If he is allowed to cultivate the Iron God Pile, there will be no seven or eight years, don't think about achieving something.
Du Lengqiu pondered for a while, but still took a few silver ingots and put them in front of him, and according to the secret book, he turned his heart to the sky and began to cultivate. As soon as she began, Du Lengqiu felt the pain of a pinprick in her head.
For ordinary people, getting pricked by a needle is not a big deal. But being stabbed by a thousand, 10,000, 100,000 needles feels absolutely different, and if you are stabbed by 100,000 steel needles for hours in a row, it is absolutely a hellish feeling.
When Du Lengqiu was crossing, he had the pain of being crushed inch by inch, and the two were really similar. But the problem is that with continuous cultivation, the pain is also uninterrupted, and unlike the crossing, this pain is self-inflicted.
As long as you stop cultivating, you can be liberated from hell immediately, and this temptation is not something that anyone can refuse. This is why there are many foundations in the Iron God Palace, but only Ji Shendu and Gombro practice this divine skill.
Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and in this late autumn, he quickly became sweaty and heavy. About an hour later, Du Lengqiu couldn't hold the shelf anymore, and lay down with a puff.
At the moment of giving up, Du Lengqiu felt that he had ascended to heaven.
"Fuck it, no wonder Gombro is a gloomy pervert with a penchant for killing. If you practice this exercise for a long time, normal people will become perverts. Du Lengqiu wiped the sweat on his face, turned his heart to the sky, and started the next painful journey.
