Without the sugar gourd, Ember Bing bought a few snacks on the street and ate them as he walked. Now he doesn't have to be as budget-conscious as he was when he came. Whether it was a dozen taels of silver exchanged for that tiger skin before going up the mountain, or a ten taels of official silver that Li Qingyun had stubbornly stuffed before he came out, it was enough for him to squander it for a long time. And as a Second Realm monk, it's too easy to earn some silver.

However, the silver Ember Ice given by Li Qingyun didn't want to use it. People who are in the age of the crown, when they go out, they still ask the master to give them silver flowers, what is this? It's good to use the ones you earned on the road, and if you don't have enough to spend, you can hunt some beasts and sell them.

The whole world is composed of Shu, Liang, and Sui, and there are scattered small countries. The Three Kingdoms have been friends for generations. And because the lord of the Liang Kingdom is a demon body, the three kingdoms are trying their best to dilute the contradictions between demons and humans. Cultivating a wise and harmless demon can enjoy the same treatment as civilians in Shu and Sui with a certificate issued by the government, and the same is true for the human race in Liang. It's just official wishful thinking, and the estrangement and hatred between the two races are still very deep. The demon clan will still be ostracized in Shu and Sui, just like the human race in Liang. It's just that it's much better than before, at least it won't be done as soon as we meet. And because the human race is good at farming and weaving, some people who have mastered life skills have a higher status in Liang than ordinary demon clans.

The little demon with the official certificate is sheltered, and he can write that the desolate beasts and the beasts of the first realm that have strong strength but cannot cultivate their spiritual wisdom are not recognized by the demon clan because they are only in the form of casual sub-forms, so hunting them will not cause the indignation of the demon clan.

Coupled with the kind of existence that is tyrannical by nature and often attacks villages, local governments are happy to see it hunted, and even take the initiative to put up a reward for those who commit crimes repeatedly. The flesh and blood of the demon beasts were moistened by the aura, and the edible and medicinal value was excellent, resulting in a high price, and low-level cultivators often went into the mountains to hunt in exchange for money.

The three elements of practice: Dharma, blessed land, and money. Some people say that there is a Taoist companion to be added, but with the decline of the ancient school of cultivation, the so-called double cultivation method has no trace to follow. So what do you need to do? Boredom? Although the security index of combat power will increase exponentially if there is one more combat power around you, the resources to be consumed will also be doubled. Looking for two opportunities in 500 years? It's desperate to think about. Therefore, the ancient "law and wealth land" has become the current "law and wealth land".

The method looks at the background, and the more terrifying the master, the better the exercises will be. The methods of some small sects and sects are extremely rough, and even more so, when they cultivate to the seventh realm, they will come to an end, and they will never be able to reach the star sphere realm for the rest of their lives. It's not that there is no existence that pushes the entire exercise with one's own strength, it's just that there are too few geniuses like that.

The blessed land is relatively much simpler, even if the master can't provide it, you can spend a lot of money to find a special organization to rent and buy. Although no one will take out the best blessed land to collect rent, there are always too many powerful blessed lands, and some small blessed lands can be used to make profits. For example, the three royal families.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is all because of lack of money. There's no way, it's okay, buy it! I can't buy the Star Master Method, and the Nine Realms and Ten Realms Method is not bad. There is no blessed land, it is easy to say, which top blessed land cave sky is fancied, even if people don't sell it, they can't grab it, I rent it, right? Is there a difference between renting for 500 years and buying?

No talent? Take the resources and smash it. Do you see which emperor is not above the Nine Realms? Can't beat someone else? Are there fewer examples of children of the family carrying a magic weapon to other people's families?

So, you can practice without a background, and you can have no money. But it can't be that it won't make money, won't? Then please don't enter this door. Save a lifetime.

Thinking that after spending a few taels of silver in his hand, Ember Bing, who hunted the beast for money, suddenly saw a figure appear in his mind.

The one who came up saw through his royal family; The one who carefully taught himself the precautions of mixing rivers and lakes, took himself to drink, and went up the mountain alone to crusade against the bandits, knowing that he did not lack the method, but still stubbornly gave him his own cultivation method and insisted that it was more suitable for him than the Three Kingdoms Imperial Family Inheritance Method.

The sworn elder brother who took him to hunt the Primal Realm Tiger to consolidate his cultivation after breaking through the Primal Realm, and afterwards only left him a tiger skin and called other trophies to offset the cost of exercises and teaching.

After studying with Li Qingyun for more than a year, Ember Bing is no longer the Leng Touqing who was blocked by his father from all channels for obtaining information in the cultivation world. When Brother Gui gave him the Fa at the beginning, he said that the Fa could eventually be cultivated to the Star Lord Realm, but he only had the first six realms in his hands. So it's not worth a few bucks.

So at that time, it seemed easy for Zhu Shu to give, and Ember Ice was received without any psychological pressure.

But in retrospect, the methods that go straight to the Star Master Realm, even if it only reaches the Star Yuan Realm, are more valuable than the entire set of methods of those small sects. After all, one is a direct road to heaven and earth, and the other is a dead-end road with no future at all.

Pingshui met, but Brother Gui treated him like a brother. I just don't know when I will see you again after saying goodbye to the town under Sword Pavilion Mountain?

However, now that his combat power has increased greatly, the next time they meet, he must take him to hunt the desolate beasts, and make a good weapon with precious and rare materials and give it to him.

Ember thought to herself, a smile on her face. If it weren't for the eldest brother, I'm afraid I wouldn't have to suffer a lot of losses along the way.

Raised his foot and stepped into the wooden door of the inn, and at that moment, a voice sounded.

"Xiao Er, and then put on a pot of osmanthus for five years, and cut two catties of roe deer meat. Damn, it's better to have your wine here, and the one on the street sells a piece of. It's as light as water. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, not only did he not show a happy look, but said to the handsome young man in white in front of him with a worried face: "Guest officer, since you can afford the characteristic osmanthus brew of the small shop, you should drink more, but don't compare it with other Rongzhan taverns." Our small family can't compare to other families. ”

"Tsk, I said why is this person so bad. I'm boasting about your family. The result? But I didn't hear a good word. Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Hurry up and serve the wine. The handsome young man was really a little annoyed, but he didn't bother with Xiao Er, just waved his hand and urged wine and meat.

"Well, come on, I'll bring it to you." Xiao Er hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly walked from the backyard wine kiln

"I haven't seen you for a year, but your mouth is a lot faster, my big brother." A loud voice came from outside the door.

Hearing this familiar voice, the handsome young man didn't care about the meaning of the joke, and looked out of the door in surprise. When he saw the other young man who was smiling outside the door, he immediately smiled.

"Xiaoice, have you gone down the mountain? Come on, come on, hurry up and sit down and drink with me, you said I was still thinking about when I could meet you again on this river and lake, do you say this is a coincidence? The young man stood up to greet the people outside the door, and his words were full of surprise and joy.

Ember Bing smiled and walked to the table where the young man was, and without making a sound, he grabbed half of the jar of wine on the table and drank it down, and then pushed the empty jar in front of the handsome young man he called the eldest brother. The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.

After taking a bite of the dish and suppressing the spicy taste in his mouth, Ember Bing said, "That's really a coincidence, I was also thinking about when I could meet my eldest brother just now."

After that, the two laughed again.

Suddenly, Qi Shu slapped the table and said loudly, "Xiao Er, the wine will be replaced by your last twenty-year-old brew." Add two more pounds of meat!" After a pause, he turned his head to Ember Ice and said, "Xiaoice, you want to taste their osmanthus brew here." That taste, especially your big brother for more than ten years, I haven't drunk a few restaurants better than here in so many years.

Thinking of his plan, Ember Bing hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "There's no hurry to drink." I still have some small things to do, and when I come back in the evening, I will invite my eldest brother, and our brothers and sons will not get drunk. ”

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dissuade him from knowing his brother's temperament, but just said, "Okay, let's drink later." This jar for twenty years will be put away first, and we will drink it when you come back. Little two, get me another altar for five years! ”

Seeing this, Ember Bing smiled and stopped staying. After paying fifty cents and receiving a room number plate, he went straight out of the inn.

It's time to take the next step.

Three years ago, Guilin had the strength of the Three Realms, and this Ember Ice knew it. But he still didn't tell the big brother his purpose. Because in his impression, the alien race, especially the alien race mixed in the crowd, is far more dangerous than the same level. If that third-order missionary was given enough time, he could even develop a cult group that was enough to kill the powerhouses of the Five Realms.

Moreover, in Ember Bing's opinion, compared to his own "Ukiyo-e", the method that Qi Qi had given himself before and that he practiced was too mediocre. Even if he had a lot of combat experience, he might face a third-order enemy and a second-order enemy who didn't know how many but would definitely not be less, and it would probably be difficult for him to retreat with his whole body. He had already troubled this big brother many times, and this time it was better for him to do it himself.

However, when Ember Bing thought so, he completely suffered from the lack of knowledge reserves. Since I was a child, I came into contact with either a strong person like Ember Qianzhen and Li Qingyun who was beyond the realm, or a pavilion elder or military general in the Nine Realms and the Ten Realms, or a civil servant or subordinate who had no cultivation. Even if you practice with your classmates in the mountains, they will leave after the fight, and there is no superfluous conversation at all.

Therefore, in his impression, it was very common for anyone with some talent to break through the fifth or sixth realm from the time of the lowest threshold of cultivation from the age of four to the age of twenty-three or four. Of course, the formation of this kind of thinking is not lacking in the deliberate guidance of some two unscrupulous middle-aged people.

As a result, Gui Shu, who was supposed to be a peerless genius, became a big brother who had no talent but was worthy of respect in the eyes of Ember Bing. But he didn't know that when he first obtained the Fa, he had broken through to the Primal Realm a month after he had obtained the Fa, and the speed at which he had broken through to the peak of the mid-Primal Realm in three months had almost shattered the confidence of his eldest brother, who claimed to be a genius.

Putting down thoughts that had nothing to do with action, and thinking about how to fix the flaws in the plan, Ember Ice quickened his pace and walked towards the slums in the city. It's a safe area in the city that few people visit, and it's a good way to use it.

The front hall of the inn. Watching Ember Bing go out, Gui Bing put down the wine glass in his hand, giving people a sense of fierceness, and his good-looking brows furrowed. Nowadays, Wuxian County is not peaceful. He had been staring at that thing for nearly a year, and now he finally couldn't help but show his feet, and his younger brother came to the small county town in the east of the country, and if there was nothing in it, I am afraid no one would believe it.

The task given by the sect? What nonsense! I don't know which mallet his teacher is. Letting a second realm kill something that has been dormant for an unknown amount of time is not a trial, it is killing him.

When Xiao Er sent a jar of wine, he opened the mud seal and poured a few sips into his mouth. The combination of the sweet aroma of osmanthus and the mellow of the wine swept away a little irritation in his heart.

Forget it, don't think about it. In the past few days, follow Xiaoice to protect him.

The reason why he was irritable was not that he wanted to get that energy core, but because he was not sure that he could protect Ember Ice while killing that thing unexpectedly. As for the loot, he asked himself, if Ember Ice wanted it, he would not hesitate to give it to him.

After all, maybe in Ember Bing's eyes, he was just a friend he could trust. But in his eyes, this little devil is not just a sworn brother.

Oh, no matter, no matter, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Drink, drink! Only one drunk relieves a thousand sorrows.

……

"Dad, you have to call the shots for your son. After all these years, my son has never reported your name outside. Don't dare to do evil. But to-day I only said a few words to a poor boy, and he pointed his sword at me to kill me. "Above the small main hall, the triangular-eyed young man who had been intimidated by Ember Ice during the day knelt and cried to his father who was seated.

To be honest, he really hasn't suffered such a big grievance. Born in a family of eunuchs, he has been tired of reading since he was a child, and he just wants to watch "idleness" all day long. And the county magistrate Qian Xinru, who is the father, is busy with affairs, and after several successive disciplines to no avail, he no longer bothered about his son.

But there are two points that Qian Xinru has solemnly warned his son: one is not to be contaminated with a word of prostitution, and the other is not to allow Qian Zhirong to use his name to run rampant among the people in the township. If one of them is committed, he will be expelled from the family tree and will not enter the ancestral hall after his death.

Therefore, although our county magistrate has been wandering around all these years with nothing to do, he has finally not exceeded the rules.

And when he heard his son talk about the rules he had set, and was often glad that his son was safe and would not cause trouble and endanger his own safety, he knew that his son was not lying this time.

However, Qian County's order was not fully believed, in his opinion, if the young man really drew his sword as soon as he came up, it must have been his son who made some extremely excessive remarks, so he completely angered the other party.

He had his worries.

Besides, with his efforts in the past few years, the security in the city is not bad. Not to mention drawing a sword, there have not even been a few fights in a year.

Of course, this time it was Lord Qian's misjudgment. His son-in-law really didn't say anything particularly excessive. It's just bad luck that I ran into the god of mourning when I went out.

Qian Xianling, who was just about to open his mouth to reprimand his son and tell the truth, suddenly flashed a figure in his mind, and the words that had reached his mouth were swallowed back, and he changed his words: "But a person in white clothes and a blue crown with jade around his waist injured you?"

Looking at the solemnity that suddenly appeared from his own eyes, Qian Zhirong, a young man with triangular eyes, was a little confused, but he still subconsciously replied: "No, it's a kid in a linen robe." His clothes were old, like those of a man fleeing from the famine in the west. But that sword is pretty good, and it should be worth a lot of money. “

Hearing his son's negative answer, the county commander breathed a sigh of relief - it seems that his son was not the one who provoked him. Then there is room for good offices. But when he heard his son say that the man's sword was worth a lot of money, and it didn't match the linen robe at all, his face became solemn again. got up immediately and walked out under Qian Songrong's unexplained gaze.

Qian Songrong didn't know the situation, so he knelt in place.

After about half a burnt incense incident, Qian Xianling walked back from the door. glanced at his kneeling son, sighed, shook his head, and said earnestly: "How many times have I told you, you should listen more and watch more outside, and open your mouth less." Frivolity is a big no-no. Do you know that our Qian family almost suffered a catastrophe because of your words?"

At first, the county commander, who was still a little unconvinced, heard his father's words and felt a little weak. But he still refused to give in, and said, "Is it so evil? Isn't that a poor boy who doesn't know what shit luck is?"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he thought about the results he had just obtained from the colleague in charge of supervising the cultivators in the city, and the county commander said, "I am still in the mood to blind you at this juncture?"

"There was indeed a powerful aura in the evening. The power is not great, but the quality of the true element is very high, and I think it is a trace of breath that the old monster inadvertently revealed. ”

"It is said that those strong people with amazing talents will be able to completely sublimate their physical functions and rejuvenate once they have cultivated to the Nine Realms. You also know that many strong people are perverse by nature and dress strangely. Swallowing his saliva, the prefectural commander continued: "You also said that the sword did not match his clothes. There are only two possibilities. The first is that the young man is indeed a fugitive as you say, and that sword is his ancestral treasure. The second is that the person is an old monster with extremely high cultivation, and he will punish him for your offense. ”

After thinking about it, he added: "The second possibility is a little more likely."

The triangle-eyed young man Qian Yirong was already covered in cold sweat at this time. According to his father, he had just walked outside the ghost gate.

He wanted to say something, but when he saw his father's Tie Qing's face, he still felt that it was better not to say it. As for the initial resentment and the idea of revenge by the hand of his father, it has long been completely overshadowed by fear.

If it is really as his father said, the young man is an old monster who does not know how many years he has lived, and if he dares to provoke again, it will definitely not be much more difficult for the other party to crush him than to crush an ant.

His father's small county order couldn't protect him at all, at most because he was not implicated as an official of the imperial court. In the years of being outside, although he hasn't learned anything else, he knows very well who to mess with and who not to mess with.

Now Qian Zhirong is only glad that the senior is kind-hearted and did not kill him with a sword.

After thinking about it for a while, Qian Xinru patted his thigh: "Tell your mother, let her bring the jade bracelet, and you take it with me to make amends."

The triangular-eyed young man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Dad, you have added a lot of your own money to government affairs over the years, and that is the last valuable thing in our family." And that's my mother's favorite. ”

"Nonsense! I don't know any of that? But if you settle down a little, why is this?!"

As if he had been touched by the scales, Qian County's order jumped like thunder.

But after yelling, he regretted it a little, sighed heavily, and said: "It is not good for me to be a father and a husband for not being able to let your mother and son live a life of fine clothes and food." All the surplus money of our family was also used by me for official business.

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't touch your mother's last dowry, but I'm afraid. I'm afraid that senior will stay in our county, in case I meet you when I'm in a bad mood one day.

Looking at his father, whose eyes were red as he spoke, the triangular-eyed young man fell to his knees with a "bang".

His heart itself is not bad, but he naturally does not like those things. But he was born in an official family, and his father was still a typical scholar from a poor family, and after becoming an official, he paid attention to everything himself. Less thought was put into his education. I didn't observe what he liked and what he was good at, and he was bent on forcing him to follow the path of officialdom.

And Qian Zhirong happens to be the kind of stubborn character to death.

All of these have directly or indirectly contributed to today's suffering.

"Dad, I don't need anything from home. I caused the incident, and I apologize myself. Since he didn't kill me at the time, he naturally wouldn't embarrass me much if I apologized for a few inappropriate remarks. Even if he asks for any compensation, I'll figure it out. The family has to ask for a few gongcao in the government from time to time to help them even make a living, and they can't stand it anymore. ”

Looking at his father's tears, the triangular-eyed youth's outward disguise was finally torn off by himself.

He was well aware of the situation at home. For the sake of the people of the county, my father soaked in the yamen day and night. All the money is used for public affairs.

Although her mother came from a large family, she never contacted the family after falling out with her father in order to marry her father, who was still a poor scholar. They also missed their grandmother and injured themselves excessively, and although they were fine, they could no longer work.

As a result, the family's foundation is declining day by day.

He knew that reading was the best and fastest way out. But just like practicing martial arts, some things depend on talent.

He's always wanted to do something to help the family. But if you can't write anything, you can't do it, and you don't have the skills. If you throw him out on the street in the years after dropping out of school, he won't even be able to support himself.

It wasn't until later that he set his sights on the current errand. Don't look down on others, but it's also a means of self-reliance. And the point is, make money.

Although sometimes you may not get a penny, but sometimes as long as the information provided is correct, a mouth will say a little, and the opening is a silver or two. One opening is enough for a family's expenses for a month.

Of course, he didn't dare to take the money back, so he either bought a pheasant or cut a wild boar leg several times, saying that he went into the mountains with his friends to play.

Every time he took the meat back, his father would snort coldly and scold him for not doing his job. But he could see that his father was actually a little happy.

And every time he had dinner, he and his mother would tacitly save a few pieces of meat for the old man who wanted to save face and refused to eat the fruits of his son's "undoing business", and then never asked where the leftovers went.

As for the old man who pretends to be idle and cynical, it is all for the sake of anger to force himself to study and often do it. Later, I got used to pretending to be dressed.

He only hated himself now for having to say that. He is not afraid of death, but he does not want his family to be implicated because of this.

As for the prefectural magistrate sitting on the upper seat, he usually doesn't smile, but now that the tears have opened the floodgates, he can't hold back anymore.

He kept telling himself, so be it, it's good. His Majesty is now generous to the people and very preferential to the officials. And he also took it upon himself to clean out most of the corpses of the vegetarian guys. Because there is a star lord sitting in a country, those strong people who have not defected to the imperial court will no longer dare to act recklessly in the city.

He Qian Tingru always thought that he had encountered a prosperous era. Compared with the precarious situation when he was a child, he now has a family and has become a magistrate in a county. Even if life is a little embarrassing, but satisfied.

Until he heard that someone on the street just now disagreed, he directly drew his sword and pointed it at his son. At that moment, Qian Xianling once again experienced the grievances and anger of being beaten and bullied by Haoqiang for no reason when he was a child, and his helplessness.

In the final analysis, in the final analysis, it is because this world does not belong to ordinary people like them who have no strength and no power.

If the man had killed him, it would have been easy. The imperial court would have considered its majesty to be provoked. He will send someone to destroy the man. But that man targeted his son, and he didn't kill him, but he still showed full murderous intent after his son reported to his home.

In this case, how can the person in the temple care? The person sitting in that position is not the same as a small prefectural order.

A murder is not a trivial matter for the county magistrate or even the county guard. In the eyes of a real magistrate, it means not only the bad influence of political performance, but also the monstrous sorrow of the first-class family within his management.

But in the eyes of that person and those high-ranking officials, the benefits brought by co-opting a powerhouse who may be a ninth-order can completely make up for the negative impact of a murder. As long as it is not too excessive, only kill one or two and stop, and the court will even apologize to the ingress.

The control of interests and balance will always be the responsibility of the superior.

As for whose interests are it exactly? Anyway, they don't know the bottom layer, and they don't dare to be clear.

Thinking about it, an emotion called resentment grew in Qian Xinru's heart. At the moment when his son went out, a golden light quietly flashed in the eyes of the county magistrate.

。。。。。。

Next to the mansion, the residence of the master of Wutan County.

"I've seen Master." A man in a robe saluted. Strangely, this person's eyes turned pale gold.

"I have seen Mr." The middle-aged man with a goatee sat on the Taishi's chair, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

This master's face was dark, and his already small eyes narrowed into a slit because of the smile that often hung on his mouth. Although he tries his best to show his kind side, he is actually not pleasant.

"Sir hasn't been to me for a while. I wonder if you have any advice for this time?"

Pretending to be careless after a few steps, the master spoke.

"I'll let you take the position of county magistrate for the time being. But I need you to screen people in the army with a certain foundation in qi refining as quickly as possible and send them to the school field, you might be able to do it?" is not noisy, the man in the robe directly cuts to the point.

didn't care about the other party's rudeness, the master smiled, and said: "According to the regulations, the county order should be temporarily replaced by Cao and Sima when there is something to do, so why can't it be my turn?"

You don't have to worry about this, I'll give you two days to do this, maybe do it?" The Daozu man directly ignored the master's words to inquire about the news and continued.

"Yes, but what do I get by doing that?" There was no useful information at all, and the master secretly cursed in his heart that he was not a man, but the smile on the surface did not diminish at all. At the same time, the words kept increasing, trying to pull the initiative back.

But that's just useless work.

"I can grant you a second-order cultivation on behalf of the Lord. The premise is that you get things done. You'll be notified by the government tonight. The man in the robe said to himself.

There are different ways to deal with different people. And it is even easier to deal with this selfish and greedy master. You just need to keep throwing out your interests. Of course, the premise is that he can't seize the opportunity to play on the topic.

It's much easier than dealing with the county magistrate who is dedicated to the people. But no matter how difficult it was, he finally got the opportunity.

If he succeeds this time, he can be promoted to the third level and become the backbone of the sect in one fell swoop.

No longer staying, the man in the robe turned around and walked out of the room, leaving the master with a look of ecstasy on his face to freeze in place
