"A mere non-mainstream warden can get nearly 20,000 meritorious services in less than a year?"

Ma Chin rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he had seen it wrong.

Shi Xiaohan, as an eight-rank inspector, has more than 30,000 meritorious deeds, which Ma Qin can barely accept.

After all, the higher the rank of an official, the higher the level of tasks he can be exposed to—if he solves a major case, he may be able to obtain thousands of meritorious services at one time.

But Gu Xu is just a small official, and he can only receive some small tasks with low remuneration to solve some worthless "spirit" level ghosts; Or do chores for the officials and divide some leftovers from them.

It is already very exaggerated to have a few hundred meritorious deeds in the account every month.

Could it be that Gu Xu is this guy, who doesn't eat, sleep, or cultivate, and is on liver tasks anytime and anywhere?

But the question is, if he spends all day doing tasks, how does he make time to cultivate? And in less than a year, it will be the first realm to be perfect?

Ma Chin really couldn't figure it out.

He secretly decided that if there was a suitable opportunity, he must ask Gu Xu for time management skills.

…………

After a few moments, Machin strolled to the door of the storeroom.

The old man who was guarding the storeroom was teasing the crickets in the cage with his head down, and he didn't notice his arrival at all.

Ma Chin's eyes fell on the "price list" at the door of the warehouse-

"Returning to the Yuan", "Dog Stick Method", "Bone Crushing Hammer", "Gathering Spirit Pill"......

It's all ordinary things.

Compared with Qingzhou Mansion, both the grade and the price are too far behind.

The only thing that caught Machin's attention was the line at the bottom of the price list.

"The improved version of the Taishang Arctic Town Demon Slaying Talisman can be used to destroy 'Wandering' level ghosts, price: fifteen meritorious deeds."

"Improved Talisman...... That's something that only a rune master can do! Ma Qin was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that the small Yishui County could get such a rare thing, and the price was so cheap!" ”

At this moment, a short, dark-skinned boy came to the door of the storehouse and said to the hunchbacked man inside:

"Uncle, I want to change to a 'ghost killing talisman'."

The hunchbacked uncle reluctantly put down the cricket cage in his hand, took out a "ghost killing talisman" from the cabinet behind him, and handed it to the swarthy young man.

"If there's nothing else to do, just take it and leave. Don't interfere with my work. ”

The swarthy young man took the rune paper and said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

Then he turned his head and saw Machin standing nearby.

"Uncle, are you new here?" The swarthy young man greeted Ma Qin warmly, "Introduce yourself, my name is Wang Yang, please give me more advice in the future!" ”

Ma Qin touched his unshaven face, and muttered in his heart: I am less than thirty-five now, and this stinky boy actually calls me uncle? Do I look that old?

However, out of politeness, he still reluctantly squeezed out a smile and responded: "My name is Ma Qin, and I am from Qingzhou Mansion. Don't dare to give advice, just communicate with each other. ”

"Then I'll call you Brother Ma from now on!" The swarthy young man who called himself "Wang Yang" continued, "Brother Ma, are you planning to exchange things in the treasury? You're new to the city, so you might not be familiar with anything here, do you need me to introduce you to it? ”

"Little brother, you are so polite!" He shook his head and said, "I didn't plan to exchange anything, but I was a little curious about this improved version of the 'Ghost Slaying Talisman' you just exchanged." ”

"Ghost Killer?" Hearing this word, Wang Yang's face suddenly showed a proud smile, and he said in a show-off tone, "This talisman was drawn by our brother Gu himself, and it can kill low-level ghosts effortlessly, not only is it powerful, but the price is also very affordable!" Except for our Yishui County, the yamen in other places can't change it! ”

We...... Brother Gu......

Ma Qin quietly reflected on Wang Yang's words.

He never expected that in this shabby Yishui Yamen, there was really a hidden Fu Dao master!

It's incredible!

Unconsciously, Ma Qin's sense of superiority as a big city official has disappeared without a trace, and he no longer dares to underestimate this inconspicuous small county town.

In the Great Qi Dynasty, there were not many people with cultivation talents, and it could be said that they were "one in a hundred".

Among them, there are even fewer talismans - in the whole country, even counting those who have just started, the number is only a few dozen.

After all, the rune path is too difficult. In Ma Qin's eyes, this thing is not something that normal people can learn at all.

Ma Qin didn't believe in evil when he was young, and he once went to buy a copy of "Fu Dao Detailed Explanation: From Beginner to Mastery", wanting to learn something famous, and then pretending to be forced in front of his colleagues, Yun said lightly: "Fu Dao is just like that, you can understand it as soon as you learn it, it's not interesting." ”

But such a scene obviously only happens in dreams.

Three days later, with dark circles on his face, Ma Qin angrily threw the "Detailed Explanation of the Fu Dao" into the furnace, and scolded and scolded: "The garbage Fu Dao ruined my youth." Look at me again, I'm a dog! ”

However, in this world, the scarce number of runes has extraordinary strategic significance.

Not only do they have extraordinary powers, but they also bring powerful team buffs.

For example, a mediocre battle scumbag like Wang Yang, after having an improved version of the "Ghost Killing Talisman", his chances of winning against low-level ghosts have increased by at least fifty percent.

And a Fu Dao Grandmaster like the Great Qi National Master can even arm an army with his own strength.

Therefore, in the territory of Daqi, every talisman who has learned and succeeded is the object that the imperial court and the major sects are eager to woo.

In Ma Qin's opinion, the mysterious talisman master of Yishui County was able to improve the talisman on the original basis, and obviously had reached the realm of a master who drew inferences from one case and was at ease, and he was definitely a master who was not inconspicuous.

Although when he heard the title "Brother Gu", Ma Qin had doubted whether this talisman master would be Gu Xu......

But he quickly dismissed this outrageous speculation.

No matter how talented Gu Xu is, he is a first-realm cultivator after all, and it is impossible for him to have such profound runic attainments.

Besides, Gu Xu had to cultivate and have tasks to do, even if he didn't eat or sleep, it would never be possible to make time to learn the difficult and obscure knowledge of the runes.

"Gu" is not a particularly rare surname.

It is also normal for there to be two people surnamed Gu in a yamen.

The "Brother Gu" in Wang Yang's mouth is estimated to be a little-known hermit master, and now for some unknown reason, he is temporarily living in Yishui Yamen and being a guest.

If he could make friends with this mysterious talisman and get some talismans from him, Ma Qin felt that his combat power could be increased by at least two percent.

"Little Brother Wang Yang, if it's convenient, you must introduce that 'Brother Gu' to me," Ma Qin grabbed Wang Yang's hand and said eagerly, "I've read a few books on runes before, and I admire monks who are proficient in runes the most." ”

"Me too," Wang Yang also grabbed Ma Qin's hand tightly, as excited as if he had met a bosom friend, "The person I admire the most is Brother Gu." If you also worship Brother Gu, then we are the best brothers! ”

Just when the two shook hands and said goodbye, Wang Yang suddenly stood on tiptoe and pointed behind Ma Qin:

"Look, Brother Gu is here!"
