Chapter 178: A Long Journey
"Inspector, is it a small matter?"
Shen Luo was a little surprised in his heart, but his face was full of doubt, and he was puzzled:
"Dare to ask Uncle Shi if he doesn't know what kind of trivial matter it is, but he wants his disciple to do it as an inspector?"
"It's nothing, it's just for you to go to the secular world and shelter some mortals!"
Hearing this, Shen Luo was even more puzzled, just a few mortals, just let those Qi refining stage disciples go.
Why bother him as a foundation building monk, besides, what danger can mortals have, they need the protection of an immortal cultivator like him.
Senior Uncle Li looked at Shen Luo, knowing what the other party was thinking at the moment, so he said half-explained and half-narrated: "The mortals you are asking you to protect are my mortal family in the secular world, and since I succeeded in marrying Dan, I have been secretly supporting them, and have made them rich and noble to this day, stretching for generations. ”
Speaking of this, Senior Uncle Li paused for a moment, and a trace of reminiscence of the past flashed in his eyes, but then his expression froze, and he continued: "A few days ago, I received news that the Demon Sect people may send some low-level disciples to blend into the world, although I don't know what their intentions are for mortals, in short, I need someone who can be trusted to protect them. ”
Hearing this, Shen Luo also understood, daring to love that Uncle Li Li was using his identity as an immortal cultivator to open a small stove for his mortal family in the secular world.
"So I will write a letter to the contemporary head of the Li family, explaining your identity and origin, he is the only person who knows my true identity, in addition, I have said hello to the people of the Jade Void Palace, you can go over there to get the token of the supervision envoy, this jade slip has the details of the family, you take it back to see, if there is no problem, set off within seven days!" Uncle Li threw out a jade slip and said to him.
Shen Luo didn't dare to disobey Uncle Li's orders, so he quickly stood up and replied respectfully: "Obey!" ”
Seeing this, Senior Uncle Li nodded with great satisfaction, "And Uncle Li, I'm not the kind of person who makes you run for nothing, as long as you successfully complete this task, this elixir is yours." ”
Looking at the medicine that Uncle Li took out, Shen Luoding saw that the pill that the other party took out was actually a dust pill!
The Dust Reduction Pill is an amplification pill used by the Great Perfection Monk in the late stage of foundation building to break through the bottleneck of the Jie Dan, and he currently only has two pills.
These two pills were still scavenged from the storage bags of Zhou Yuan and Yunmeng Fairy.
As for the pill taken by the owner of the clothed mound, because the pill had been stored for too long, the medicinal power in it had already volatilized.
This Uncle Li is really willing to take out the Dust Reduction Pill, and it seems that he must also attach great importance to this task, he thought.
Shen Luo, who left Uncle Li's cave mansion, drove the flying boat back to his cave mansion, and then began to take out the materials he had purchased in the storage bag and began to paint.
……
On the seventh day, a few zhang in the air a hundred miles away from Taiqing Gate, Shen Luo on the flying boat was driving the flying boat and flying at full speed.
His target was Lingnan City, located in Pingzhou, Zhao State, which was the seat of Uncle Li's family in the secular world.
Lingnan City is the largest and most prosperous capital of Pingzhou, Zhao State, which extends in all directions and has another name second only to Little Kyoto.
It is such a city, and naturally there is already a lot of land in it, after all, the people who live in this "little Kyoto" are themselves a symbol of status and power.
The whole Lingnan City is artificially divided into four areas, east, west, north and south, and the Beicheng District lives here, and most of them are some princes and generals who live in their old age.
The corresponding Nancheng District is the residence of the city lord and the officials and nobles who live in the city.
In Lingnan City, in stark contrast to the north and south districts, there are the remaining east and west districts.
Dongcheng District is inhabited by some wealthy businessmen, although these people do not have half of the official positions and royal relatives and nobles, but the mansions they live in are not inferior to those, where are the royal relatives and nobles worse, it can be said that they are even worse than them!
The Li Mansion is such a wealthy family, and it alone occupies dozens of acres of residential land.
The people of this family are not only rich enough to rival the country, but even some important industries in the Zhao country have their existence.
And I heard that the head of his family is even more powerful, and there are even high-ranking officials in the temple, who specially speak for him.
As for the rest of the West District, compared with the opulent and high-rise mansions in the East District, the West District is full of uneven bungalows, in which most of the poor families who work at the lowest level are inhabited.
After a few days of flying, Shen Luo finally came to Lingnan City in Pingzhou and came to the secular world that he had not seen for a long time.
In order not to cause a commotion, he landed a few miles away from Lingnan City, and then walked leisurely in the direction of the city gate.
At this moment, people come and go at the city gate, and there is an endless stream of people coming in and out.
The clothes on Shen Luo's body have long been changed into mortal clothes, so it is not too conspicuous to walk among these people.
Li Youcai is a subordinate of the Li family, because of his status as the head of the family, so those who want to ask to see the head of the family.
No matter what the origin of the identity is, they all put on a polite look like a doorman like him.
Over time, let him be such a subordinate, and he also felt that he was a master.
Therefore, whenever someone sent a prayer post to ask to see the head of the family, it was naturally inevitable that he would ask for some money as filial piety.
Of course, he didn't exactly do this to everyone who came, if some people with great status came to the door.
He Li Youcai is still relatively regular, and he doesn't say a word about money and filial piety, and he works hard before and after the saddle.
It's just that today's Li Youcai doesn't know what's wrong, but he feels very troubled.
Therefore, he decided to take advantage of this time when no one went out to visit, and specially moved a bench under the big tree at the door to escape the heat and enjoy the coolness.
Just as he was sleeping in a daze and was comfortably blown by the breeze, suddenly a man's voice came from beside him: "Excuse me, is this the Li Mansion?" ”
Such a sudden sound made Li Youcai, who was sleeping soundly, be alarmed, and felt extremely uncomfortable, and scolded before he opened his eyes: "What are you yelling about!" Didn't you see Grandpa Li, I'm sleeping! ”
After saying this, Li Youcai reluctantly opened his eyes, with an angry look on his face.
He glared angrily at the person who spoke in front of him, it was a man about twenty-two or three years old, his appearance was white and pure, and he looked like a little white face, as for the clothes he was wearing, they were very ordinary, very inconspicuous.
Seeing this, Li Youcai was roughly clear, and he felt that most of the people in front of him were the kind of people who had no powerful background.
Thinking of this, he became more and more confident in his heart, such a person naturally wants to extort money and pay homage.
