The Eight Demon Beasts were taken away.

After Xu Heliang and Xu Hexiu finished collecting the demon beasts, they left directly by crane and did not go to the Xu ancestral hall to take a look.

The riverside onlookers gradually dispersed.

After a while, the river was empty, leaving Xu Ping alone.

"Awesome, awesome!"

Whether it was the flying sword in Xu Heliang's hand, or his master's bell magic weapon, or Xu Hexiu's charm, Xu Ping's eyes were all opened, which made him doubt whether a mortal martial arts master could defeat an immortal cultivator?

If you just look at the power of these magic weapons, it seems that the immortal cultivators are superior, but in fact, Xu Ping can see it in the process of Xu Heliang and Wang Ba Demon Beast fighting.

In fact, immortal cultivators have many shortcomings, one is that it takes a long time to recite spells, and if the martial arts master starts to storm and interrupts the spell cast by the immortal cultivator, the immortal cultivator will definitely be confused.

Secondly, the mana of the immortal cultivator is limited and cannot cast spells for a long time, when Xu Heliang uses the giant sword to kill the king and the eight demon beasts, he will always take a few breaths before re-sacrificing.

Also, when Xu Heliang sacrificed the bell magic weapon, he seemed to be relaxed, but in fact, he secretly swallowed two pills, otherwise he would not have enough mana to cast the bell magic weapon.

After recovering the bell magic weapon, Xu Heliang had already overdrawn all the mana in his body at this time, not that he didn't want to go back to the Xu ancestral hall, but that he didn't have the strength to go back, so it was better to go back to Xianxialing to retreat and recover his mana.

No matter what, Xu Ping was very envious of the immortal cultivators, no matter the storage bags, magic weapons and charms, he wanted everything.

But these magic weapons and charms are not what he can get at this stage, but Xu Ping can wait, a thousand years is not enough, he can wait for ten thousand years.

He's long enough anyway.

After dealing with the matter of the demon beast, it was soon the autumn harvest season, fortunately, the wind and rain were smooth in the past two months, Xu Ping harvested six and a half stones of grain, and after paying one and a half stones of grain, there were still four or five stones left, which was enough for him to spend this winter.

After the farming, Xu Ping began to play Xu Xiucai's idea, and used to secretly learn a few words from his mouth, but now Xu Xiucai has learned well, every time he sees Xu Ping, he is full of smiles, but he easily does not open his mouth to speak.

Xu Ping had to take the book he picked up in the county seat and visit Xu Xiucai's house in person.

Speaking of which, Xu Xiucai's family background is still good, otherwise he would not be able to support a scholar at home.

The tall courtyard wall, the double mahogany gates, and the two lion statues at the door all reveal to outsiders that the owner of this courtyard is extraordinary, either rich or expensive.

Xu Ping climbed the stairs and slapped three times at the door, and after a while, he heard someone coming out inside.

"Who? You are ......"

After seeing Xu Ping, the person who opened the door was a little stunned and a little familiar, but he didn't know what Xu Ping's name was.

"I'm Xu Ping, and I'm here to meet Xiucai Gong today."

"You want to see the second young master of my family, please come in quickly!"

Regardless of whether he is rich or poor, Xu Xiucai can speak, and he has never shirked everyone who visits him, which is also the main reason why Xu Ping is willing to visit Xu Xiucai.

If Xu Xiucai didn't welcome a farmer like Xu Ping, Xu Ping wouldn't come, and nothing would happen to visit.

"Rare guest, Uncle Tong pours tea for Xu Ping!"

Xu Xiucai came out of the inner room lazily, said hello to Xu Ping, and then asked him to sit down and drink tea.

"What did you come to me for?"

This is where Xu Xiucai is very curious, the two of them often meet in the village, what can be said in person, but Xu Ping actually came to him today in the name of visiting.

"I'd like to ask you to take a look, what kind of book is this?"

Xu Ping took out the book from his arms and respectfully handed it to Xu Xiucai, who took it and looked at it and asked, "Are you illiterate?" ”

"No, I know a few words, but I don't know much."

"What the hell do you want to do?"

"I want to be literate!"

"You want to use this book to be literate?" Xu Xiucai glanced at Xu Ping and couldn't help laughing.

Xu Ping was laughed inexplicably.

"This is a vernacular novel, and it's full of love, love, and stuff, do you understand when I say that?"

"Oh, it's a romance novel!"

Xu Ping was a little disappointed, with the character of the county commander's precious daughter, he should have known what kind of book this was.

"This book is not cheap, you have to buy it for ten taels of silver in the county seat!"

"This vernacular novel is worth so much money?"

"You don't understand the market of this vernacular novel, it is currently very popular in Zhao Kingdom, and ordinary people can't buy it, but Brother Xu took it out, which makes me very curious!"

Xu Ping didn't answer Xu Xiucai's question, thinking about another thing in his heart, vernacular novels are so valuable, if he writes a few copies casually, he won't worry about money in the future.

However, it is still a matter of literacy, if he is illiterate, how can he write vernacular novels?

"This book was thrown to me by someone else."

"Did you ask someone to ask questions, and someone threw you a vernacular novel in order to send you away?" Xu Xiucai seemed to understand what the other party meant, probably because he wanted to see Xu Ping's jokes, which had a hint of banter.

"Yes!" Xu Ping will not tell Xu Xiucai the true source of this vernacular novel, otherwise after Xu Xiucai knows about it, he will definitely laugh at him for wanting to eat swan meat.

"Haha, this book is not suitable for you to read, you can give it to me, I will give you three literacy books."

"Thank you Xiucaigong!"

Xu Ping was overjoyed when he heard this, a vernacular novel could be exchanged for three literate books, and the deal was too worthwhile.

Xu Xiucai smiled, did not discuss the issue of the price of books with him, and after drinking tea, he took Xu Ping to his study.

"So many books?"

After Xu Ping looked at Xu Xiucai's study, he couldn't help but be surprised, the study was already big enough, but it was full of books, and it was roughly estimated that there were not ten thousand, but there were more than seven or eight thousand.

"Of course, these are books that our family has collected from all over the country for five or six generations, and I can say that there is no one in Qinan County that has more books than our family."

Xu Xiucai boasted to himself, and took down three books from the bookshelf at random, "This is the book I used for literacy when I was a child, you can take it!" ”

"Thank you Xiucaigong!" Xu Ping happily took it and held the three books in his arms very solemnly.

"Come to me directly when you encounter a word you don't know in the future!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

Xu Ping was immediately overjoyed, his original intention of visiting Xu Xiucai was to follow Xu Xiucai to read and write. I didn't expect Xu Xiucai to speak so well, so he wasted his tongue.

It is better to choose a day than to hit the day, Xu Ping took the opportunity of Xu Xiucai's happiness today, hurriedly took out the book, and asked about the words on it.

An hour passed, Xu Ping came out of Xu Xiucai's house, and he was in a very comfortable mood, and in a short period of time, he knew hundreds of words.

And the content of the panel in front of me has also changed.
