The mighty procession stopped at the door of Xu's house.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure and a dark official uniform walked down.

The middle-aged man wore an official uniform embroidered on his chest similar to the word "Jin" in the ancient Lishu, but he wore a deerskin scarf on his head, held a folding fan in his left hand, and pan jade in his right palm, but he showed his popularity.

After getting out of the car, a scribe with two beards and a jade pendant pattern embroidered on his chest followed by the car, walked forward quickly and stood beside him.

The scribe was about to speak, but the middle-aged man shook the folding fan.

He personally stood in front of the gate of the Xu Mansion and said in a loud voice: "Is it the Xu Zhenyun family of Yuhuafang?" ”

The tone was very polite, but the middle air was agitated, resounding in the Xu family courtyard.

After a while, the eldest uncle Xu Wenguang, together with the third uncle Xu Changling, the fourth uncle Xu Xingguo and others, went out to greet him.

The scribe immediately introduced, "This is the Lord of the Prefecture." ”

Xu Wenguang and the others looked upright, bowed down, and said, "The county lord is polite." ”

In today's system, all the people see the officials, although there are two differences between the Tao and the people, but they only worship and make two prostrations.

Of course, the system is one thing, and the reality is another. With the dual authority of the cultivators and the official positions of the Great Jin, all the people see the officials, and in the vast majority of cases, they are still trembling and walking on thin ice.

In particular, the Shendu has twenty-four counties under its jurisdiction, and although the name is a county, in fact, the weight of authority is equivalent to that of a county in other places.

However, everyone in the Xu family has already seen such a big person as the Shendu Inspector, and they are completely aware of the purpose of the arrival of the county honor, so they naturally deal with it calmly.

The middle-aged man took in everything, looked at it again, and smiled: "My surname is Li, just call me Li County Order." ”

Xu Wenguang didn't dare to say anything.

Li Xianling waved his hand, looked into the door, and said, "Yesterday's meritorious hero, where is Xu Zhenyun, the nephew?" ”

Xu Zhenyun walked out of the door at the right time and raised his hand to bow: "The county lord is polite." ”

glanced at the car and confirmed that Liang Hongbo was not among them.

Li Xianling and Xu Zhenyun looked at each other, their slightly strange expressions flashed, and they said with a smile: "What a talent." ”

Li Xian Ling took out a notebook from his sleeve and handed it to the scribe beside him.

After the scribe opened it, he read aloud: "Zhenyun, a strong man of Xumen, uses the eight-stage cultivation of physical arts, and kills the demon cultivator alone. Brilliant talent, commendable courage, for the Great Jin God Capital has not been a feat for decades...... According to the usual special reward of 5,000 taels of silver, three yellow leaf notes, and a plaque of "courage and perseverance". ”

After reading out, Li County Order took a cyan bamboo tube from behind him and handed it to Xu Zhenyun in person.

The bamboo tube is naturally five thousand taels of silver tickets, as well as three yellow leaf notes.

Xu Zhenyun took it with both hands, and it was naturally in his sleeve.

In fact, he wanted to open the bamboo tube directly and appreciate what the large silver ticket looked like; But thinking that it was really rude, he forcibly pressed his restless heart.

Li Xianling smiled, and gently slapped his right palm with a folding fan.

The four powerful men in the back immediately stepped forward with the plaque.

The red curtain was lifted, revealing the four powerful purple-backed gold characters of "Courage and Perseverance".

In the lower right corner of the big word, there are five small characters - "Nanyang County Department Gift".

Later, there were people with bamboo ladders, divided into left and right teams. It turned out that Nanyang County not only sent the plaque to the door, but also did the installation work.

At the moment when the plaque was placed in front of the main entrance, there was a sudden applause and applause from the crowd gathered outside the door.

"Good good ......"

"Awesome, awesome......"

"You can slay demons in the eighth stage of physical arts, it's really amazing......"

"There is only one one in the four squares in Fangyuan who has embarked on the road of 'Taoism', I have already said that Xu Zhenyun will have a great future......"

At first, it was sparse, but soon it was like a tidal wave, and it became more and more enthusiastic.

Xu Zhenyun looked up sharply, and it turned out to be the spontaneous action of the neighbors.

More than ten zhang away, there was a woman in her thirties who looked at herself with a smile.

There was a girl of twelve or thirteen years old beside her, with three or four patches on her plain shirt, her little hands clapped red, and her eyes seemed to have stars twinkling.

To the west, an old man with an empty sleeve on his left arm, who could not applaud, tapped the brick wall with his right hand without asking for help.

On the periphery of the line, a middle-aged man dressed in short sleeves and looking like a cropper man grinned and gave a thumbs up at the same time.

Xu Changling took two steps forward and whispered in Xu Zhenyun's ear: "Aunt Li of Fangnan, in the bloody moon five years ago, her husband and six-year-old son died at the hands of the demon clan, and the one next to her is her daughter, and now the two depend on each other. ”

"Zhang Qi across the street, was attacked by the demon clan in the Scarlet Moon eight years ago, and escaped with his life, but lost an arm."

"Ma Laosi, don't look at his old face, he is actually only thirty-eight years old. Two years ago, in the bloody moon, his wife died in the invasion of the demon clan, and she grew old for twenty years overnight. ”

……

Xu Zhenyun looked around and suddenly lost his mind.

He is not a hypocritical person, and he will accept the glory and praise that he deserves.

In the past, Wu Erlang fought tigers, and now Xu Erlang slays demons, and it sounds like he is a little more powerful...... But this time, the demon cultivator was originally aimed at him, and he was completely passive, so he couldn't talk about "eliminating harm for the people".

Getting an official reward is a system, and Xu Zhenyun is at ease; But the enthusiasm of the neighborhood, he felt a little ashamed.

But this seems to be a substantial emotional projection, which still makes Xu Zhenyun feel a kind of drunken pleasure-

In just half a day, from the "Three Evils of the Xu Family", to the sister Xu Qingshuang, and then to the neighbors in front of him; and Ran Chuchu, who has not really met each other and has been lingering in his memory......

These eager and sincere emotions are pouring in, all of which are like "anchors" one by one, strengthening the connection between Xu Zhenyun and the world at a very fast speed.

The dream in the bathroom just now seemed to turn the scales back a little, which aroused his thoughts about his past life, his parents, and the desire to go back; But the vast sound in front of him once again firmly locked Xu Zhenyun and this world.

Deep down, there was a grand voice echoing:

There's no going back.

I am Xu Zhenyun, Xu Zhenyun of Xinyuan Continent!

……

After the ceremony was completed, Li Xianling unsurprisingly chose to visit the door and talked to Xu Zhenyun alone.

In the inner room, the guests and hosts sat down, Xu Zhenyun took out the white porcelain cup for the guests, and personally presented the new Qibao almond tea to Li County.

Li Xianling took a sip of the teacup, bowed his head slightly, and then smiled and said, "Xu Zhenyun, do you still recognize me?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Xianling's appearance obviously did not change at all, but his temperament changed very strangely; All of a sudden, it formed a contrast - there was no face change, it was better than a face change!

In a trance, Xu Zhenyun almost subconsciously thought that Li Xianling was going to become a monster!?

But looking at the person in front of him, Xu Zhenyun was stunned and said, "Li ......"

In the White Stone Martial Arts Pavilion, there was a physical arts cultivator who was the same year as Xu Zhenyun, named Li Changshou.

The progress of this person's rank promotion is comparable to Xu Zhenyun's, but his combat power is inferior.

Li Changshou's father, who was born as a craftsman, was extremely concerned about his son, and went to the martial arts academy every once in a while to watch the battle, and looked around at the shouts and cheers of no one, and his mouth foamed so much that everyone looked sideways.

But every time Li Changshou competed in actual combat, he was reduced to a sandbag, and was beaten into a pig's head by Xu Zhenyun, which made Father Li regret it.

In Xu Zhenyun's sight, Li Xianling and Father Li, two people with very different temperaments, subtly coincided.

Li Xianling sighed: "Good boy, beat my son so badly." ”

Xu Zhenyun no longer had any doubts, and said with a smile: "That makes Gongzi need to work harder and strive for revenge in the future." ”

Li Xianling shook his head and said, "There's no chance...... Eight stages of demon slaying cultivation, specially recommended to enter the Tao...... You kid has a lot of chance. Your combat power from a month ago will definitely not reach this level. ”

In just two sentences, the sense of distance between the two sides quickly dissipated.

Li County's treatment of people is not much inferior to Liang Hongbo.

Just because the Divine Dragon Envoy personally passed on the order, asking him to award a reward to Xu Zhenyun, and at the same time being a "specially selected" assessment and a caretaker, it is not difficult to see that Xu Zhenyun has a good future, and it is completely worthy of him to hand it over.

However, Li County's handling is soft and ingenious, although it is borrowed from old knowledge, but it is skillful and not deliberate.

In a few words, it not only closes the relationship, but also does not lose identity.

Xu Zhenyun was very interested in Li County's dual identity, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Li County's order also has the elegance of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger." ”

Li Xianling shook his head and said, "It's not elegant. This is the true meaning of 'being with the world'. A cultivator's life is originally divided into two, one is the 'Tao karma' and the other is the 'world'. The two identities do not interfere with each other, as if they are divided into two halves. ”

"For example, your father, Xu Fengzhi, is also a cultivator. But what kind of position he held in the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, his relatives and relatives did not know at all. ”

"All these mysteries, as well as the so-called 'fully hidden' and 'semi-hidden' truths, it won't take long for you to understand them when you become a cultivator."

Xu Zhenyun thought about it and kept it in mind.

Li Xian Ling said again: "I think you know in your heart, Li was entrusted by the Lord of the Divine Dragon Envoy to come." Wait patiently, the dragon envoy will be there soon. ”

"At that time, he will personally remind you about participating in the assessment."

As soon as his voice fell, a majestic voice followed, and he was full of anger: "It's not 'right away', Liang is already here!" ”

A gust of wind blew in from the door, and suddenly there was a three-color light and shadow condensation in the room, and a figure flickered slightly, and after a few seconds, it condensed into an entity, which was Liang Hongbo.

Li Xian Ling hurriedly got up to pay respects.

Xu Zhenyun also arched his hand and said: "The Divine Dragon makes the Lord ......"

Liang Hongbo waved his hand casually, and smiled enthusiastically: "Can't wait, right?" You can rest assured that you will be able to participate in the additional assessment. After passing the additional examination right away, you will be a monk. ”

"Hah, aren't you happy?"

Xu Zhenyun was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Immediately?" I'm going to pack up and go with the dragon envoy right now? ”

I remember that in the conversation between Liang Hongbo and the girl inspector last night, his additional assessment was an existence called "Star Ruins Secret Realm".

Liang Hongbo shook his head slowly, with both smugness and cunning in his smile: "No." Your additional assessment is right here and now! ”

"This is also the welfare that Liang specially strives for for you, firstly, it can fight for you for half an hour to an hour's margin, so as not to be tired of traveling, and you can prepare for the war with peace of mind; Second, it also saves some unnecessary trouble. ”
