Xu Zhenyun thought about it carefully and soon had a clue.

Because Quan Miaoyan didn't think deeply about it when he mentioned it, when Liang Hongbo proposed in person that his "Yulu" was eight hundred merits and three hundred taels of silver, he would subconsciously feel weird-

Associating a high-level cultivator with "silver"?

But after in-depth thinking and scrutiny, Xu Zhenyun immediately keenly captured the rationality -

He seemed to have grasped the difference between the way of "being with the world" in the current era and the "game red dust" of the cultivators in the "Red Dust Era".

Regardless of the evolution of the specific system building, as far as individuals are concerned, the most important thing in today's practice of "joining the WTO" is the word "truth."

The cultivator does not "play" the mortal game Red Dust; Instead, he is really enjoying the birth, old age, sickness and death, joys, sorrows and sorrows of "mortals".

What determines what is true and false is undoubtedly the "boundary of ability".

Just imagine, if a cultivator with great magical powers can casually turn stones into gold, create things in the void, and play the trick of turning stones into silver, then even if he soaks in the market every day, he will be scratching his boots after all, and he will not be a real "fellow dust"!

Once we join the WTO, the boundaries of our abilities and the order of our actions will truly be equivalent to those of the world!

So of course "wages" are needed, silver is needed!

Because during this time, Ji Xiaohua took Xu Zhenyun and others to visit the Shendu, and spending money was also lavish. So this gave Xu Zhenyun the illusion that "cultivators are not short of money", so that Xu Zhenyun was not too sensitive to this issue.

At this time, when I thought about it carefully, it seemed that Ji Xiaohua repeatedly mentioned the issue of "funding".

Obviously, during the period of "taking students", he had a "special allocation".

Although silver is despised as a "vulgar thing", as a "general equivalent", it is a basic element in the functioning of society.

The economic base determines the superstructure!

But it's a pity that these incisive words can't directly answer Mu Xiuxin's question.

Xu Zhenyun thought for a moment and replied calmly: "For 'mortals', money is the foundation of survival, and for cultivators who have entered the world, there is no difference. ”

Mu Xiuxin's eyes moved, and he said in a low voice: "It is indeed a good understanding." ”

Although Xu Zhenyun's answer was simple, he did understand the three flavors.

Mu Xiuxin slowly spread out her right hand, and a bronze mirror appeared in her palm.

This bronze mirror is not a "round mirror", but an extremely rare "square mirror", and the overall image is simple; Except for a very thin piece of metal attached to the edge as a decoration, there is no engraving or pattern.

Mu Xiuxin pointed out: "Hold your hands on the left and right, look squarely at the bronze mirror for twelve breaths, and the vacuum force will be drummed for thirty-six weeks, and this thing will be absorbed into your 'spirit acupoint'." ”

With Mu Xiuxin's words, the bronze mirror floated in front of Xu Zhenyun.

"Do it now."

Xu Zhenyun nodded slightly, and held the fixed bronze mirror in both hands.

After twelve breaths, Xu Zhenyun only felt a burst of warmth in his "Jade Rabbit Den", and the bronze mirror in his hand suddenly vanished.

In a trance in front of him, the bronze mirror had already appeared in the space of the "Jade Rabbit Cave" spiritual cave that was clearly perceived by the divine sense.

After the "Bronze Mirror" was blurred and hidden, the volume seemed to have expanded a lot, and it was one size larger than "Xu Xiaohei".

"Xu Xiaohei" curled up and struggled for a while, as if he felt a foreign object appear next to him.

He grabbed his hands for a while, and laid the "bronze mirror" flat, as if it was his own bed, sleeping on it beautifully!

Xu Zhenyun was slightly surprised when he perceived it.

At the same time, the divine consciousness looks inward, and it can be clearly seen that the "bronze mirror" seems to be gradually changing color; From the typical brass color, the color gradually deepens; It looks like it's going to turn golden.

And Xu Zhenyun had a vague premonition, as if gold was not the end; Its final form will be ethereal and colorless, like a real glass mirror.

Sure enough, Mu Xiuxin said again: "In perception, this mirror becomes colorless, so I take it out." When the time comes, you will naturally understand what to do. ”

Xu Zhenyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Is this a 'protective measure' for me?" ”

Looking at this number, it is the same as "Xu Xiaohei", which is hidden in the spirit of the Jade Rabbit Cave, which is very similar to a similar method.

But if it's a pile of defensive treasures, then you should let yourself complete the "secular cultivation" normally, why did you join the company early?

Mu Xiuxin said coldly: "Yes and no." ”

"It's me who really protects you!"

Xu Zhenyun raised his head suddenly, and his heart was inexplicably shocked.

Mu Xiuxin!?

The most outstanding person in the past fifty years of the Great Jin Dynasty can almost compete with Zhao Weiting's first court and be his bodyguard?

Mu Xiuxin's eyes closed slightly, and she said lightly: "I'm going to cultivate." Liang Hongbo, you are in charge here, and the means I have arranged are also on you. Specific trivial details, you and him. ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Xiu's mental and physical figure condensed, turned into a shallow phantom, and floated into the right wall.

Xu Zhenyun looked up, only to find that there was a painting hanging on the wall, which was a rather flavorful "Flying Stone Floating Map", which was obviously also a small realm of Lingtian.

However, this picture scroll is magnificently inlaid in a two-finger-thick yellow wood frame. It was completely different from the four extremely casual landscape paintings on the second floor, so Xu Zhenyun didn't realize that this was a spiritual heaven realm map.

Looking away, I saw that on the north wall of the "main hall" on the left, there was also a picture scroll of "Bright Moon Rising from the Sea" hidden on the picture frame.

This scroll looked like a "lobby background", but after coming back to his senses, Xu Zhenyun realized that this was most likely also a map of the small realm of Lingtian!

And also......

According to her own understanding of Mu Xiuxin, in fact, she is similar to cold on the outside and hot on the inside, she seems to be a sword spirit, and at the same time she is not pretentious, but she has a positive side in her heart; But when we meet today, how do you vaguely feel that you have an opinion about yourself?

Is it because his light is too dazzling, and he feels a sense of crisis that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves?

Liang Hongbo stepped forward quickly, patted Xu Zhenyun on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhenyun." I'll introduce you to the situation here. ”

Stretching out his hand, he pointed to the picture scroll that Mu Xiuxin had just escaped into, and said, "This is the place where Mu Xiuxin practiced. ”

Liang Hongbo is a human spirit among human spirits, seeing Xu Zhenyun's thoughtful expression, he actually guessed that Xu Zhenyun was thinking about Mu Xiuxin's suspected cold attitude just now, and explained with a smile:

"This temporary stronghold is nominally a 'temporary branch hall' personally controlled by Deputy Mu, but this is only a name to facilitate the protection of you, Brother Zhenyun. Only within a certain range, with the supreme supernatural power, through the pre-arrangement between me and another fellow Daoist, can he make a timely move at a safe opportunity. ”

"In terms of the specific responsibilities of this 'temporary branch hall', it is actually just equivalent to a 'golden town', and you must bow down to the deputy seat if you don't work hard."

The words are nice, but in fact, it is clear that Mu Xiuxin is only the nominal "leader", and he appears here just to facilitate the protection of Xu Zhenyun nearby; She usually cultivates within the Lingtian Small Realm, so she won't bother you anymore, and she doesn't have to worry about looking at her in the future.

Xu Zhenyun naturally understood, and also patted Liang Hongbo on the shoulder, and said, "I know." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Liang Hongbo pointed to the picture scroll of "Bright Moon on the Sea" hanging in the main hall on the left, and said: "This is the special small realm of our stronghold; But as you can see, in fact, the main hall and the cubicle outside are the places where we work, and this small realm is not often entered. ”

"This is probably very different from your recent cultivation, Brother Zhenyun Xian; Your most recent cultivation has probably been in the Small Realm; The exterior of the room is just an empty shell. ”

Xu Zhenyun blurted out: "Why? ”

Liang Hongbo smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple. Because this small realm is essentially equivalent to a prison. ”

Xu Zhenyun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and thought for a while before saying, "Where are the evil cultivators imprisoned?" ”

Liang Hongbo nodded slightly.

Immediately, he seemed to think of something, smiled and took out an object from his sleeve, and said, "So far, Brother Zhenyun Xian has not had a storage magic weapon?" I happen to have one extra piece here, you can use it first. Let's put away your official uniform first. ”

As he spoke, he handed over a silver ring with twelve facets like a diamond ring to Xu Zhenyun.

Xu Zhenyun was not hypocritical, nodded lightly and said, "Thank you." ”

Skillfully wearing the ring on the index finger of his right hand, the vacuum force was drumming, and the divine will was reflected, Xu Zhenyun immediately felt that this "storage ring" was in a state of no owner.

It only takes one's own divine consciousness to be projected for more than a certain period of time to have a similar effect to "refining".

When he came to the case, Xu Zhenyun mentioned his robe and couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that under the "square crown", there was a bulging silver bag; Pick it up, heavy.

When I opened the knot, I saw that it was white silver.

Fifty-two silver ingots, ten in all.

Seeing Xu Zhenyun's surprise, Liang Hongbo smiled and said: "This is your first month's 'Yulu'." As for the merit value, like refining a treasure, refining that jade wat can naturally be seen. ”

Xu Zhenyun hesitated for a moment and asked, "When will the mission be executed?" ”

It seems that there are a little fewer people......

Liang Hongbo was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't worry." At present, the manpower is not yet complete; This 'town house' still needs to be arranged again. ”

Pointing to the tables and chairs in the first compartment, Liang Hongbo said: "There are brief books related to the evil cultivation task on the table, you can go and take a look, you can familiarize yourself with one or two in advance." ”

"Also, don't forget to refine the jade wat in time."

"After a general understanding, I will take you out to make some 'special preparations' first, and from tomorrow, the official mission will be carried out."

After a pause, Liang Hongbo smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is no dangerous task." ”

Two steps forward, Liang Hongbo lowered his voice and said: "This town is nominally my main business; But in fact, Lao Liang knows it in my heart, but because of my five-grade cultivation, and I am familiar with you and Brother Zhenyun, I am the right person to entrust the secret method. ”

"Fundamentally, I'm just your henchman; It's up to you to decide everything here. ”

Xu Zhenyun smiled: "Where is it, Lao Liang, you are too polite." ”
