Chapter 6: The Plague of Innocence

When passing by Sancha Mountain and Caomangling, Xu Ping noticed that the old village chief's expression was a little nervous.

When the old village chief asked people to erect the banner of the Xu family's Xiuxian family, the thieves in these two places showed their heads and looked at them, and then waved their hands and let people go directly.

Of course, the old village chief was not proud, and let people put down a dozen taels of silver at the intersection, which was the right to buy the road this time.

"Don't think that we are members of the Xu family, so we don't give tolls, several big masters in Sancha Mountain and Caomangling are immortal cultivators, a few years ago, there was a small family who didn't make offerings, and when he came back, he was cut off by someone......"

The old village chief introduced the rules on this road to everyone, and when he saw that everyone understood, he waved his hand to let people continue.

Xu Ping didn't understand, in the territory of the Xu family's Xiuxian family, there were bandits, what was this?

Even if there are immortal cultivators in Sancha Mountain and Caomangling, can this be compared to the immortal cultivators of the immortal cultivation family? Even if you don't send out a foundation building stage monk, one or two late-stage Qi cultivation monks may be able to wipe out these bandits.

Unless these bandits have the ability to compete with the Xu family's immortal cultivation family, or if there is any interest relationship between the two.

Otherwise, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?

After walking out of the Three Forks Mountain and Caomangling, the road behind was smooth, and everyone arrived at the county seat at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Qinan County, only two or three hundred years old, compared to other places, is still a new city, but the tall and majestic city wall can see the importance that the Xu family attaches to Qinan City.

Not to mention that there are mid-Qi refining period monks guarding the gate of the city, and according to the old village chief, there is a ninth-level Qi cultivation powerhouse of the Xu family's immortal cultivation family who is stationed in the city all year round.

No use of force is allowed in the city, nor against mortals, otherwise they will be caught by the law enforcers and will be ruthlessly suppressed.

Therefore, walking in the city, pedestrians can rest assured that they do not have to worry about personal safety.

Xu Ping listened but didn't think so, sometimes although the rules are set very well, it is difficult to enforce.

Imagine how the law enforcement team in the city enforces the law after an immortal cultivator makes a move on a mortal, it is impossible to kill the immortal cultivator on the spot, but to bring it back and ask if it will be released after that, it is estimated that the background and contribution of the perpetrator will also be considered.

If mortals are disrespectful to immortal cultivators, it is estimated that the law enforcement team will strictly enforce the law and kill the mortals who collide with immortal cultivators on the spot, without considering the later problems.

This is the difference between immortals and fans, and the treatment is different.

Although the old village chief said that there is no need to consider personal safety, Xu Ping is still cautious, and some things should be avoided, in order not to make trouble, and not to let trouble automatically get into trouble.

After entering the city, the old village chief and his eldest son Xu Dali were going to visit their grandchildren who were studying in the county seat, while the others went their separate ways, agreeing to meet at the city gate when it was almost dark.

After Xu Ping followed a few people to buy salt, he said goodbye and left, and went to the largest bookstore in Qinan County alone.

He wants to buy a literacy book, even if he doesn't know the words on the book, but he can pick them out one by one, ask the old village chief today, and ask Xu Xiucai tomorrow, there will always be a day when he finishes learning.

If he is literate, he will be able to do it in the future, and he does not need to understand the meaning of the book like other readers.

When he arrived at the largest bookstore in Qinan County, he was dumbfounded, and looked up, the people who came in and out of the door were all scholars in long robes, but he was a cropper wearing a sweatshirt and straw sandals, would the gatekeeper of the bookstore let him in? If he can't get in, where should he go to buy books?

Xu Ping stood outside the book club and watched for a long time, but finally chose not to go in, after all, this is not the place he should come.

Just as he was about to leave, there was a dispute at the door of the bookstore, a girl full of aura and a weak scholar collided together, I don't know who lowered his head and didn't look at the road, or the two of them were angry, anyway, no one was willing to give in.

Originally, this kind of thing, Xu Ping would be as far away as he would be after seeing it, for fear that blood would splash on him in the event of a dispute, but when he turned around, a book was thrown from a distance, smashed directly on his head, and then fell into the puddle next to him.

"Did the book touch me, or did I touch the book?"

Xu Ping suddenly didn't know how to deal with it, no matter which one it was, it was his fault, and before the owner of the book made a sound, he could only stand and wait for the end of this matter.

Things soon settled, and after the maid next to the girl reported to her home, the scholar finally chose to succumb.

It's not okay to be soft, the girl is the baby daughter of the county order, even if the scholar is also a famous and surnamed character, but he can't stand the power of the county order, and after the scholar apologizes, the baby daughter of the county order promised to let him go.

"That...... You pick up the book for me! ”

Seeing that both sides had died down, Xu Ping breathed a sigh of relief, but when the county magistrate's precious daughter called him loudly, Xu Ping's heart suddenly began to get nervous again.

Let him pick up the book, so he had to obey and jump into the puddle to pick up the book in full view.

Although it is a bit muddy on the paper, the whole book is intact and very new.

If you don't dispose of the mud and hand it over directly, it may cause the daughter of the county magistrate to be unhappy, so after picking up the book, Xu Ping wiped the mud off with his sleeve.

"Miss, your book!"

The county magistrate's baby daughter didn't pick it up, although Xu Ping's actions just now were very hidden, but she still saw it.

"It's so dirty, who let you wipe it with your clothes!"

"I ...... I ......" Xu Ping realized that he had done something wrong with good intentions, and he should not have wiped the book with his sleeve if he knew so.

After all, in the eyes of the precious daughter of the county magistrate, the mud on the ground was even cleaner than Xu Ping's sleeve.

"I don't want it!" The county magistrate's precious daughter raised her hand and flashed the book in Xu Ping's hand, and the book slapped heavily on Xu Ping's face, making Xu Ping's face almost red.

Originally, the daughter of the county magistrate wanted to give Xu Ping a slap, but now it seems that this slap can be saved.

"Hmph, it's your fate, Miss Ben let you go!"

The county magistrate's baby daughter snorted, turned around and left with the maid, leaving only an innocent Xu Ping in place.

If Xu Ping's previous temper was used, such an insult method, even if it was a girl, he would have to teach it a lesson.

But in this world, human life is like straw, and Xu Ping is still an immortal, so it is not worth exchanging his life for his life.

After the daughter of the county magistrate left, Xu Ping raised his head, ignoring the ridicule of the passers-by around him, picked up the book that fell at his feet, and carefully put it in his arms.

The daughter of the county magistrate said that this book was dirty and didn't want it, but Xu Ping wanted it, after all, it was a prostitute for nothing, and this book was related to him, and he was hit on the head twice.

"Are you literate? Can you read it? ”

"Is it a little bit of the fragrance of Miss Du's daughter, you love the house and Wu, take it home and prepare to offer?"

"Does this book sell? I'll give you twenty taels of silver! ”
