Volume 2: Sword Cultivation in the World Chapter 63 A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

Lin Xiao put it at home, brought a new refining-grade sword weapon and a white bird sword, and put a bag on his back, which contained some dry food such as dried meat and pancakes, as well as a change of underwear and robes, and the book "Divine Court Volume II" was also brought with him, not why, but he thought that the myths in it were quite interesting, and then brought a water bag full of clear water, carrying some broken silver and thousands of taels of silver tickets, with a denomination of one thousand or one hundred.

Money and food are not panicked in body and mind.

"Brother, when you're out alone, you have to take care of yourself. Zhou Zheng was reluctant, this was Lin Xiao's first trip in the true sense, this is a long way, not to mention thousands of miles, it will take a lot of time just to go back and forth, not to mention that the return date is undecided.

Maybe it's a month, maybe it's three months, maybe it's half a year, maybe it's longer.

"Without me spurring you all the time, you can't relax, you have to study hard before you can enter Dongzhou University in the future. Lin Xiao said earnestly.

It has to be said that the goal is getting bigger and bigger.

At the beginning, I just wanted Zhou Zheng to go to school in the school on Wuli Street in Qingtong Township, and in the future, he would not be able to be a teacher, with no worries about food and clothing, and also had a certain status, at least he could live a stable life, and then he slowly became rich, so he thought about going to the academy in the county, from the outer city to the inner city academy, at this time, he could not be limited to Mr. Teaching, he had to have greater ambitions, that is, to be an official.

It is not the official of the City Health Department, nor the official of the Town Martial Division, but other civilian officials, who are not as hard as the City Health Department and not as dangerous as the Town Martial Division.

Now, the goal is even higher, Dongzhou Academy, which can be regarded as one of the top universities in the dynasty, can enter it, the knowledge must be very rich, all of them are elites, and those who leave the school smoothly, any one can become the pillar of the country, no matter what industry it is.

How bold a person is, how productive the land is, and I am not afraid that I can't do it, but I am afraid that I can't think of it.

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely study hard and be admitted to Dongzhou University in the future. Zhou Zheng said impassionedly.

Remember in a second https://

Rubbed Zhou Zheng's head, because after a long time, there was no way to rub it anymore.

"Let's go, master nephew, Ah Zheng will be handed over to you. Lin Xiao smiled at Yuan Wu.

"Uncle Junior, you can go with confidence, with me, there is no problem with junior brother. Yuan Wu's chest slapped like a drum, thumping.

"Say something nice, what is the meaning of going with confidence. Lin Xiao said.

"Then let's go in peace. Yuan Wu was stunned for a moment and then changed his words, Lin Xiao suddenly waved his hand weakly, forget it, just say what you like.

Let's go.

There was no horseback riding, and this trip to Dongji County was not only to go to the Sword Gate to get back the Starstream Sword, but also to return the Sword to Wen Jingxi, but not only that, Lin Xiao remembered that sentence deeply.

If you are undecided, you can ask the sword, if you are undecided, you can ask the heart, and if you are undecided, you can ask the way.

If you need a reason to make a sword, then go out, walk all over the mountains and rivers, and find a truth for yourself to make a sword, so that the sword can truly break free from the shackles and be unrestrained.

"Hopefully, one day, I will draw my sword without hesitation. Lin Xiao said silently.

At that time, there will be nothing that will be able to bind one's sword, I wonder how fast it will be at that time, how strong it will be?

That kind of unrestrained is different from Yuan Wu's not wanting to be so much, it is Lin Xiao's detachment after thinking again and again, experiencing again and again, and finding the truth after precipitation.

As for now, it's still early.

Lin Xiao didn't drill the horns either, some things are useful if you don't think about them, you have to do them, and you have to combine doing and thinking to have results.

Measuring the earth with his feet, Lin Xiao left Lin'an County, walked to the Eastern District, and said goodbye to Feng Yuan and others by the way.

"I'm going to wish Brother Lin good luck and prosperity. Ma Guangyuan said solemnly.

"Inherit the good words of the Lord. Lin Xiao smiled, and immediately patted Feng Yuan on the shoulder: "Let's go, see you next time, I hope you have already practiced internally." ”

"Maybe I'll be a real martial artist by then. Feng Yuan said stinkily: "You still worry about yourself, don't be caught up by me." ”

"It's good to have that confidence, but it's also important to recognize the reality. Lin Xiao said earnestly, Feng Yuanlian rolled his eyes, and then Lin Xiao looked at the scorpion lady standing on the side, well, it was still spicy and full: "Big sister, let's go, see you next time." ”

The scorpion lady stretched out her hand and waved silently, but she thought that she should also leave.

"Blindly escaping is not a solution, it is always something to face. ”

...... There are seven county seats under Kunning County, Lin'an County is only one of them, some counties are closer to Kunning County, and some counties are far away from Kunning County, such as Lin Xiao crossed Qingtong Township to this name Xinshan County, and the distance between Kunning County is separated by a whole Lin'an County.

Therefore, it is even more difficult for ordinary people to go to the county town, and they often have to walk for five or six hours.

Xinshan County is more mountaineering than Lin'an County, and the overall living conditions are not as good as Lin'an County.

Lin Xiao didn't plan to stay in Xinshan County for more, but he didn't plan to leave directly and quickly, there had to be a process.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, asking the sword, asking the heart, asking the way, where is the road?

The road is at your feet.

If you are in a hurry, you will undoubtedly lose sight of the many scenery on the way, whether good or bad.

Xinshan County is also divided into two cities, Lin Xiao walked on the streets of the inner city, looked at the pedestrians, looked at the city guards patrolling the streets, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the shops and streets in Xinshan County seemed to be inferior to Lin'an County.

It's just a feeling, that's all.

Lin Xiao saw a tattered young man and a well-dressed man staggering and colliding together, bowing again and again in fear: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...... It wasn't meant to be......"

"Get out of here. The brightly dressed man looked at the young man with tattered clothes and stains, and immediately said in disgust, and kicked him over.

The young man rolled on the spot and quickly got up and glanced at the man angrily, but there was a surprise in his eyes that could not be hidden, and he ran wildly, as if he was afraid of being caught up and beaten violently.

The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth curled slightly, and his footsteps followed slightly, because Lin Xiao clearly saw that the young man deliberately bumped into the brightly dressed person, and he was very skillful in taking out the person's money bag and not being discovered by him.

Habitual thief!

A skilled habitual thief.

So what else did he do for stealing money?

Is it like what has been written in the previous ones, and there is still a group of homeless children?

Like a thief?

That's interesting.

But then Lin Xiao said that the content may not be true, and it will deceive people.

There was no such thing as a group of homeless children, not even one, the boy went back to his home first, washed up and changed into a clean and tidy shirt, and went with the stolen money bag to spend.

That's right, he went to consume, first went to the largest restaurant in Xinshan County to order the most expensive food, and after eating, he actually walked to the Qinglou.

It simply refreshed Lin Xiao's three views.

"The place you should go is the City Health Department. Lin Xiao appeared in front of the young man and said without hesitation.

"Who are you?I don't know you?Where am I going?," The young man was startled at first, and then looked at Lin Xiao with a fierce face and asked three times.

"Did you voluntarily turn yourself in to the City Health Department, or did I escort you away. Lin Xiao gave a choice of two choices.

"I'll go on my own. The young man's eyes rolled and he immediately responded, and then turned around, first slowly walked a few steps forward, suddenly turned into the alley with a dexterous body, and ran wildly, that speed, it is difficult for ordinary peers to catch up, and he was secretly proud while running wildly.

It's still early to deal with me.

When he rushed out of the alley, he suddenly stopped, his eyes zoomed, he immediately gritted his teeth, and immediately turned around, and the moment he turned around, he saw Lin Xiao appear in front of him again, looking like a ghost.

"What do you want...... the young man sat down and yelled with a crying voice: "I am a poor orphan with no father and no mother, why do you all bully me......

"Go to the City Health Department. Lin Xiao looked at it so calmly, and said without hurrying, unmoved, because Lin Xiao had seen all the actions of this young man before, and he may not know enough about his past experience, but just based on what he was doing, it was enough to go to the City Health Department to be punished.

Stealing is a crime, if it is a grand theft, and the person who is stolen has such a bad attitude without knowing it, Lin Xiao will not care so much, no one is perfect, not to mention others, even if it is himself, he has his own flaws and problems.

But there was no if.

"No, go to the City Guards, they'll kill me. The boy no longer faked crying, but yelled angrily.

"I'll go with you, and I'll judge you however you want. Lin Xiao's tone was very resolute and unquestionable.

No matter how the boy splashed and rolled and how he resisted, it was all useless, and in the end he was taken to the City Health Department by Lin Xiao, and when the people from the City Health Department heard that it was a theft, they directly slapped him, the young man was just an ordinary person, and the City Health Department was at least an external forging, and a slap came over for hundreds of catties, and he was directly blocked by Lin Xiao.

"Punish theft as you like, don't lynch. Lin Xiao said slowly, his sharp gaze made the city guards feel a great oppression.

"This is the City Health Department, what do you think is the place, can you scratch your fingers? The squad leader suddenly said angrily.

"Lin'an County Zhenwu Imperial Envoy Lin is dead. Lin Xiao directly took out the Zhenwu sticker, and said without hesitation: "Maybe you can say that the Zhenwu Division of Lin'an County has nothing to do with your Xinshan County, but since I want to intervene, then I have to think about the consequences, it's nothing more than me paying more time." ”

"Imperial Envoy Lin rest assured, how to punish the crime of theft, we will strictly follow the law. The commander of the city health department said.

According to the law, the remaining fifteen taels of silver will be handed over first, and the city health department will post a notice for the person who loses the twenty taels of silver to claim it himself, and then the punishment for the young man, one is that the young man will make up five taels of silver by himself, and be imprisoned for three days, that is, he will eat three days in prison, and the second is that he will not return the silver, but he will be sent to the teaching field to be reformed, that is, labor reform, and the duration will be five months, which is equal to one tael of silver for one month.

Lin Xiao has learned about the so-called labor reform, which is to do some rough and heavy work.

"I don't want to go to labor reform. The young man seemed to know something about it, his face changed greatly, and he immediately looked at Lin Xiao and knelt down and kowtowed directly: "My lord, please help me, lend me five taels of silver, I will write an IOU and sign it, and then I will pay you back ten taels." ”

"Are you sure?" Lin Xiao asked rhetorically: "I tell you clearly, once you owe me money, if you don't return it by then, the consequences will be very serious, even if you want to escape, you can't escape, because I can find you through the intelligence of Zhenwu Division, even if you escape from this county, unless you can escape from Dongzhou." ”

"I'll be ...... It must be ......," the boy begged again and again.

In the end, Lin Xiao lent five taels of silver to the young man, and stayed in Xinshan County for three days, until the young man came out of the cell without the slightest trace of being beaten.

Write down the IOU, sign and draw, the time limit is one year, within one year you pass through Xinshan County, you must return ten taels of silver to yourself, if you do not pass within a year, then send ten taels of silver to the inner city of Lin'an County Zhoufu.

"Maybe you won't listen, but I'll say it anyway. Lin Xiao folded the IOU and put it away, stared at the young man and said: "If you want to eat, drink and have fun, it's okay, but you have to rely on your own ability to make money." ”

"Stealing is also my ability......" The young man muttered in a low voice, and when he saw Lin Xiao's brows furrowed, he immediately shrunk his neck.

"I'm referring to legitimate and legitimate capacity, not to cheat and steal. ”

"Earn as much as you want, spend as much as you want, then work hard to make money, make a fortune, I'm not your parents, nor your relatives, I can't care about you so much, I can only give you such advice, as for whether to listen to it or not, that's your business, next time there is the same thing, you may not meet me like this, and you may be disabled, or even killed." ”

Lin Xiao is not alarmist, dealing with it like himself, in the eyes of many people, it is a waste of time and stupid, but so what, he can be at ease.

Lin Xiao's words also caused the young man to think.

yes, next time it's like this, I'm sure I'll be beaten to death.

"That's all there is to it. Lin Xiao's voice fell, and he walked past the young man, staying here for three days, it was time to leave.

"The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship. The young man turned around and was about to kneel down in an instant, but he was held up by Lin Xiao's scabbard and couldn't kneel.

"If I accept this thought, I will not take you as an apprentice, and I don't have the time and thought. Lin Xiao said without hesitation, no longer paying attention to the young man, his figure flashed, turning into a wisp of white shadow and flying away.

As for the fate of this young man in the future, he can't care so far, even if it is Zhou Zheng, Lin Xiao knows that he can't care about him for a lifetime, after all, he has to follow his own path, so after that, whether this young man is on the right path or going farther and farther on the crooked road, Lin Xiao doesn't know, it's gratifying to go on the right path, and it's a pity to go farther and farther on the crooked road.

"What a strange person. The young man looked at Lin Xiao's distant back, and couldn't help muttering secretly, and immediately thought about it, what should he do in the future, he was very distressed, it seemed that he had no other ability except for a skillful stealing skill.
