Chapter 36: Dignity for a Practitioner
In this world, cultivators are only a very small minority after all.
In the world of ordinary people, they eat and drink and sleep in the wind and pillow moon, and do not eat the fireworks in the world.
As for cultivators, the battle between them will not be easily known to ordinary people.
One is that the battle between cultivators is extremely destructive, and it is easy to accidentally injure innocents; The two are cultivators who don't want to let ordinary people know easily, and they will also be like gangsters, taking a watermelon knife and chopping and chopping.
Cultivators naturally disdain to do such an uncompelled thing!
Therefore, Zheng Xuancheng and Yu Youquan went to visit the Zhao family's manor, which was really like a visit.
As soon as he arrived at the boundary of the Zhao manor, he was welcomed in by the Zhao family's steward, and was entertained with delicious food and drink, without the slightest rudeness and neglect.
It is hard to believe that this old steward is receiving a "bad guest" who comes to the door.
Although these estates were newly purchased by the Zhao family after they moved south, the degree of wealth was really not the same as that of the areas where ordinary people lived.
The fields are almost all ripe fields, and even the fields are full of scenes after a bumper harvest.
For the common people, the agricultural time is the most important, and they dare not delay in the slightest, for fear that a little accident will cause the crops to rot in the ground.
After the harvest, the crops will be beaten out as soon as possible, and there is very little time for real farming.
Threshing mainly relies on flail, hulling and impurities with wind valley car.
But compared with the farmers in other places, the farmers belonging to the Zhao manor have a significantly better complexion.
The core is because these tenants are mainly tenants of the Zhao family's fields, and they only need to pay enough rent to escape the imperial court's taxes.
The burden is also very heavy, but compared with the various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the imperial court, the Zhao family is quite benevolent!
And this is the so-called "escape" and "population hiding".
For the imperial court, there will be endless troubles, after all, the taxes that can be received are less, and it is only a matter of time before the finances become unsustainable.
But the common people can at least survive!
As for the biggest winner, it is naturally a family like the Zhao family, and these methods are actually just entry-level means to dig into the corners of the imperial court.
Yu Youquan's face did not change color.
Recently, he has seen a lot of similar scenes, and he doesn't bother to think too much.
If there were no cultivators, he might still want to make a revolution and step on the bones of the princess or something, but in the world of cultivation, doing this is purely a brain show!
If you can't beat it, join in!
Yu Youquan has already decided that when his life stabilizes, he is ready to spend money to buy a few mountains, and then build a big manor himself.
There is no reason why this little nun and monk in the imperial court can't touch it!
As soon as I thought of it, I suddenly felt that the world was wide.
After completely arriving at the core area of the Zhao family's manor, the master and apprentice finally met the core clan of the Zhao family.
The older ones are okay, and the management of emotional expressions is quite in place, but those who are young and young, even if they pretend to be mature, the heat is still a little worse after all.
In a short period of time, Yu Youquan felt the hostility that almost gushed out!
If their eyes could kill, they didn't know how many times they had died now.
In this regard, Yu Youquan didn't react much, after all, he came to slap his face and smash the field, and he still expected the enemy to greet him with a smile?
To be able to do this is quite patient and educated!
As for Zheng Xuancheng, it is even more ...... Don't linger!
Not long after, the master and apprentice met the head of the Zhao family and the old lady.
Mrs. Zhao's hair is gray, drooping and old, even her back is a little rickety, and she can even see a little turbidity in her eyes.
But.
Yu Youquan's sixth sense has been warning him, the old man in front of him is extremely dangerous, extremely dangerous, maybe he will die just by looking at him!
This made Yu Youquan's heart wake up, and he became more and more low-key, not daring to have the slightest snooping.
And the head of the Zhao family gave Yu Youquan another feeling - very cold, very cold, and very sharp, it seemed that just looking at him, his spirit would be stung.
But.
The feeling he gave Yu Youquan was not as deadly as that of Old Lady Zhao!
Obviously, the old lady Zhao has cultivated the gun intent of the cloud gun to the point of sending and receiving freely, and the gun intent of the head of the Zhao family is sharp, but it is obviously still a little worse in terms of sending and receiving freely.
Old lady Zhao felt very keen, and after glancing at Yu Youquan, she said, "Who is this little Langjun?" ”
Zheng Xuancheng said sternly with a blank face, "Ju Li, why don't you hurry up and come over to meet the senior of the White Head Spear King!" ”
Old lady Zhao shook her head, "There is only one gun king in the world, and that is to leave the hated gun, what white-headed gun king is purely to put grease and powder on his face, Lao Suo just likes to play some tricks, and the future still belongs to you young people!" ”
This bad old man is very bad!
If you really believe him, you really think of him as a dying old man, and you don't know how he died!
Yu Youquan didn't take Mrs. Zhao's modesty seriously, but just saluted Mrs. Zhao obediently, shouting "Gun King Senior" one by one, and even gave the word "white head" in front of him.
This is like the word "deputy" in front of the leader, just like Schrödinger's cat, which can be or may not be used, and the magic of use is in one mind.
Old lady Zhao smiled and nodded, and praised, "If it is a famous teacher who produces a high apprentice, and the noble disciple has a strong perception ability, the few unsuccessful descendants and nephews of our clan are far inferior!" ”
This pulls hatred ......
Old lady Zhao said nothing, and many of the most outstanding young nephews of the Zhao family present looked at Yu Youquan with hostile expressions.
I have to say that "other people's children", no matter which world it is, is extremely hateful!
Zheng Xuancheng laughed and said modestly, "The predecessor of the Gun King has a good reputation, and everyone in the world doesn't know the name of the cloud gun?" However, the younger generation does not know the height of the sky, and commits the idea of greed and hatred, and asks the predecessors of the gun king to give advice! ”
Mrs. Zhao's arm on crutches shook slightly, like a bad old man who had suffered a stroke, and he fell down when he pushed it, but Yu Youquan still keenly sensed that Mrs. Zhao had become more dangerous.
As for his master Zheng Xuancheng, at this moment, the momentum on his body is becoming more and more condensed, and his fighting spirit is high.
Zhao Zhiyuan took the initiative to stand up and said, "My father is old, why don't you let me see Brother Pixian's tricks?" ”
Zheng Xuancheng smiled and nodded, "Brother Qingqu is willing to give advice, the younger brother naturally can't ask for it, please!" ”
Zhao Zhiyuan was just about to speak, but Old Lady Zhao stopped him, shook the crutches in his hand and scolded, "What? Do you think the old man can't move a gun? ”
Zhao Zhiyuan was taken aback, and quickly admitted his mistake, saying that he didn't dare.
As shrewd as he was, at the same time, keenly aware that the old father might really think that he was inferior to Zheng Xuancheng, and he had to take action himself!
Zhao Zhiyuan's heart sank, and his attitude immediately corrected a few points.
After the small episode, Zheng Xuancheng and Mrs. Zhao slowly walked into the Zhao family's Fufeng Hall.
The competition is a closed-door method, whether it is Yu Youquan or Zhao's children and nephews, they are not allowed to watch.
Of course, when it comes to a battle at the level of the Venerable, forcibly watching from the sidelines may not be a good thing for them!
The only thing Yu Youquan could feel was the magnanimity of Zhao's Fufeng Hall.
From the outside, the tiles are lined up one after another, like pieces of upside-down dragon scales.
As for the grooved waterlines, as well as all kinds of exquisitely carved eaves beasts, they all show the grandeur and profound heritage of the Yunzhou Zhao family.
Of course, what surprised Yu Youquan the most was the height and size of this Fufeng Hall.
It is still a wooden structure, but I don't know if it is because it is made of thousand-year-old wood, and the house is so tall that he once thought of the reinforced concrete buildings of his previous life.
Only then did Yu Youquan realize that the original wooden house palace could be built so tall and magnificent, provided that the wood was old enough!
Or the old lady Zhao has already left, and there is no one to restrain him, Yu Youquan can obviously feel that the hostility of the Zhao family and nephews around him has deepened a lot.
Rumble!
At this moment, Yu Youquan suddenly felt that two extremely powerful and sharp "intentions" rushed into the sky.
Obviously, he couldn't see anything, but Yu Youquan faintly felt that there were two more unattainable ..... in the Fufeng Hall in front of him Big mountain!
This is called ...... Meaning?
Sure enough!
