Chapter 8 The Little People in Troubled Times
Lu Heng took advantage of the night to run towards Sun Chang's house, while checking the introduction of "Dao Xing" in the game interface.
[Dao Xing: After the Dao Protector Method is introduced, you can consume the Dao Xing to improve the cultivation progress of the Dao Protector Law until you reach the highest level of the current cultivation realm. γ
After reading the introduction, he immediately understood.
Boy.
Isn't that just navy?
All of my strength is my own hard workβadd some to me!
However, there is a difference.
This practice can only improve the cultivation progress of the Dao Protection Method, and I am afraid that the realm cultivation will have to come by yourself.
ββAs the name suggests, the method of protecting the path is the method of supporting the path of cultivating immortals, including but not limited to: spells, Taoism, spells, swordsmanship, sword techniques, formations, Dan methods, runes, etc.
"Originally, I thought it was a bit of a loss to enter the city without a monster refresh, but now it seems to be pretty good." Lu Heng was in a good mood.
Tonight, he walked the road from the Huaishui River to Heyang County, and on the way he did an experiment to determine the monster spawn area of the "Xiuxian" game.
The official roads along the way, passing through post stations, villages, market towns, etc., do not have monsters to spawn, but if you leave such as a mile away from these places, there will be monsters that start to spawn again.
This made Lu Heng make a preliminary judgment.
That is, only in areas with a low degree of artificial modification will monsters spawn.
So when he left the Huaishui River under the leadership of Sun Chang and others, there was no monster refresh after he walked on the official road.
In the same way, it can be speculated that after coming to the county seat, most of the monsters will not refresh here.
And that's exactly what happened.
It's just that I didn't expect to be able to get the Tao, which is an unexpected joy.
"When I get the introduction to the Wind Spell, the Rain Spell, and the Killing Sword Technique, I can directly add points to them."
A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Heng's mouth, he had been worried about whether these spells would be too difficult and time-consuming to cultivate.
Now with Taoism, everything is not a problem.
"However, the top priority is to go to Sun Chang's house first and take away those spirits, and then find a place to hide, and leave here after breaking through to the first level of qi refining, so as not to be affected by the Zhaoyang Army after returning to the division......"
He thought so in his heart, but the pace under his feet stagnated slightly, and his eyes involuntarily looked at a small courtyard in front of him, and scenes flashed in his mind.
It seemed that a middle-aged woman was leading a little girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old to see him off.
"Brother, I can cook, you have to come back early, I'll make you something to eat!"
"Son, serving as a conscriptor is not as good as being at home, you have to work hard, don't talk back to others, be obedient, my mother will wait for you to come back. Alas......"
Lu Heng slowly approached, stood at the door of the small courtyard and was silent for a moment, and then was about to turn around and leave and continue to Sun Chang's house, but suddenly heard a voice coming from inside.
"Mother, I'm so hungry that I can't sleep."
"Ah Qin, tomorrow my mother will find a way to find you something to eat, and I won't let you starve."
"Mother, when will my brother come back, won't he have nothing to eat?"
"No, no, the government said that it would take care of the food. Ah Heng, he will definitely not starve, he will definitely ......"
"Great, my brother won't run out of food, it's really uncomfortable to have no food. By the way, mother, why hasn't my uncle come recently? β
"Your uncle, he's gone far away, and he'll be back in a while."
"I see, just like Daddy, when will Daddy come back?"
"Your father, he's definitely coming back, woo......"
"Mother, mother, why are you crying? Mother, I was wrong, I'm not hungry, don't cry, woo woo! β
All that could be heard in the courtyard was the cries of the mother and daughter.
ββ¦β¦ Mother, sister. Lu Heng muttered.
He thought of his wandering life as an orphan on Earth, starving and cold, and in precarious circumstances, but at that time no one cared about him, and no one was waiting for him to come home.
"But am I still the one they were waiting for?" Lu Heng closed his eyes lightly, and soon had an answer in his heart, "Yes and no." Everything will be planned after successfully cultivating immortals, how much ability can you do and how much you can do! β
With his mind in mind, he no longer hesitated, and planned to leave some fish and meat before continuing to Sun Chang's house.
But before Lu Heng could take the fish out of the game backpack, he heard a commotion in the distance, and it was actually a team of errands kicking the door door from house to house and rushing in, as if they were searching for someone.
Both the old man and the child, as well as the woman in her obscene clothes, were all pulled out of the house, and then watched as the servants rushed into the house and turned over the cabinets.
The cries of children and women, the sighs of old men, mingled.
Except for the shouting and scolding.
No one dared to do that.
Lu Heng stopped leaving, jumped onto the roof of a house, leaned down to hide himself, stared at the group of servants, and waited quietly.
If they dare to kick into their homes like that......
"Don't disturb the people! Pei Zhiqing is here! β
At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly came from a distance, which immediately attracted the attention of the officers, and they all looked over there.
"So they're really looking for someone?" Lu Heng glanced in the direction where the female voice came from, and was a little surprised.
I don't know who this Pei Zhiqing is, and why was he searched and arrested by the county officials?
In order not to be harassed by the people, she took the initiative to expose her position, judging her words and deeds, should she be a chivalrous person?
Pei Zhiqing took the initiative to reveal his position and tried to lure away these errand soldiers.
But they didn't chase after them immediately, but first set out to grab the belongings around them, stuffed some scattered copper coins, leftover rice bran and other things into their arms before they came out of the houses.
Then he reluctantly looked at the houses that had not yet been "searched", and left a little reluctantly.
On weekdays, they don't have such an opportunity to loot openly.
The officers were like locusts crossing the border, and disappeared in an instant. Only a group of embarrassed people were left to return to the house with their heads bowed, looking at their looted homes and crying without tears.
Lu Heng was relieved to see that his family was not harassed, but looking at the people who were suffering not far away, he couldn't help but secretly say, "What kind of world is this?" β
Then, shaking his head, he placed a few pieces of fish under the eaves of the house, knocked lightly on the door, and was about to leave.
But at this time, he suddenly found that the villain in the game "Cultivating Immortals" had come to a special small courtyard.
It is special because this courtyard is obviously different from other buildings, and it actually shines with golden light.
A new text prompt has also appeared next to it.
[Entering the initial home, the growth rate of the path line is 3 times.] γ
Lu Heng was stunned when he saw this, and hurriedly looked at the column of Daoxing, and found that the original "1 month Daoxing/day" had become "3 months Daoxing/day." β
It's really just tripled!
"The original home, the corresponding real location is my home?"
Lu Heng looked at some interfaces with some surprise, and then left the small courtyard in the game, and the little people in the game also left the home, and the speed of the growth of the road also changed from "3 months/day" to "1 month/day"
"That's true, it seems that I was right in my decision. As long as you have the ability, it is also a good choice to protect the county seat of Heyang, and as long as you operate it properly, you don't have to be the enemy of the Zhaoyang army. β
For a moment, many thoughts and plans appeared in his mind, but he still shook his head, looked into the distance, and continued to move quickly in the night.
Target Sun Changjia!
No matter what you think or plan, you can wait until you cultivate the immortals before making plans!
β¦β¦
The messengers who were chasing Pei Zhiqing were still running around the streets, but with their level, they couldn't find Lu Heng, who was already comparable to the fourth level martial artist.
Sun Chang is the county lieutenant, his house will not be searched at all, and those officials did not even get close to the past, and turned to other places directly at the intersection, for fear that Sun Chang's family would misunderstand.
This directly led Lu Heng to come to Sun Chang's house unimpeded, just like visiting his own backyard.
"Good guy, Wujin compound, this county lieutenant is too rich." Lu Heng looked at Sun Chang's mansion and couldn't help but sigh psychologically.
At the same time, he moved his nose, trying to catch the smell of wine.
After being reborn, his five senses and six senses have become extremely acute, and his sense of smell is very strong, as long as he concentrates, he can smell the smell from a distance of several hundred meters.
"Wow, what a strong smell of wine!"
As soon as Lu Heng concentrated, he smelled a burst of extremely rich aroma of wine, all coming from the courtyard at the back, he carefully avoided the servants who were dozing, and soon came to the backyard.
Then I saw a scene that made people feel like they had a cerebral hemorrhage.
Brewing machines are set up in this courtyard, surrounded by sacks of grain piled up and scattered rice grains everywhere.
Food, which is regarded as a treasure by ordinary people, is thrown on the ground like garbage here.
Not far from the wall, there is a jar of spirits stacked together, and the entire wall is full of wine jars, placed in three rows, I am afraid there are hundreds of jars.
"How much food will be consumed, how many people will starve to death? Where did Sun Chang, a county lieutenant, get so much food?! Lu Heng was furious.
Although he has only traveled for a day, he is no stranger to hunger.
As an orphan in his previous life, he starved for a long time, and the memories of serving in the river canal and starving in this life are also real.
Moreover, in recent years, food in Heyang County has been very scarce, and ordinary people often have to go hungry after eating the last meal.
This is also because Heyang County is in the south, and it is the intersection of waterways, the geographical location is superior, and no one is starving to death for the time being.
The north is said to have been reduced to purgatory on earth, and even the tragedy of cannibalism has occurred in the twelve states of Youqing.
Just when Lu Heng was cursing Sun Chang psychologically, there was another change in the game interface of "Cultivating Immortals", and a new text prompt appeared.
[Now in the dungeon area, you can get extra rewards by killing all boss monsters for the first time!] γ
What?
Copy?
And this mechanic?
Lu Heng was stunned when he saw this.
But before he could investigate closely, he heard a cold and vigilant female voice behind him.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
