There are demons in the world, and there are also cultivators who can compete with demons.

There are many different practitioners, and they are mainly divided into five types: martial arts, Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and witchcraft.

Warriors, Taoists, Confucianists, Buddhists, Witches.

Martial artists boil the power of qi and blood, specializing in the ontological body, because they cannot communicate with the breath of heaven and earth, they are despised by several other cultivation systems, and they are regarded as the lowest cultivators in the world, often called martial arts, and will be preceded by negative affixes such as reckless, silly, stupid, stupid, etc.

The Taoist cultivates the Yuan Shen, perceives the heavenly machine, borrows the power of the five elements to cast spells and swords, flies with the sword, moves mountains and reclaims the sea, and the Mahayana stands on the ground and soars.

Buddhism cultivates the heart, perceives the Dharma, promotes the teachings, the stronger the Dharma, the stronger it is, and the cultivation to the peak can become a Buddha in the flesh, immortal and immortal.

Confucian scholars cultivate luck, raise a mouthful of righteousness, accumulate thick and thin hair and self-cultivation, and the great Confucians in the world walk the world, and they can change the fortune of the dynasty.

Witch Gu cultivates Gu Dao, raises Gu and feeds insects, casts spells, falls into dreams, calls for wind and rain, summons gods and ghosts, and takes people's lives thousands of miles away.

The five cultivation systems in the world all have a fixed grade division, from the ninth rank to the first grade.

Nine products are the lowest, and one product is the highest.

Corresponding to the human race, the demon race also has a fixed rank, from the ninth order to the first order.

The seventh-order demon clan is equivalent to a seventh-rank human race cultivator.

The gray-haired old man who was devoured by the three-eyed blood wolf in Qinghu Mountain before was an eight-rank Taoist monk with the cultivation of the Enlightened Light Realm.

And the seventh-order demon clan needs a seventh-rank valley realm monk to compete!

The corners of Mu Qingyao's mouth were filled with bitterness.

This expedition has been in constant crisis from the beginning, and when it came to Qinghu Mountain, all the troops were wiped out except for her.

Mu Qingyao had already noticed that the three-eyed blood wolf was coming towards her.

Encountering a tiger demon in Zangshi Town County today, she was even more sure that someone didn't want her to return to the Tianqi Imperial City alive.

Taking a deep breath, the little county lord looked at the black-clothed young man opposite.

"Yun is short, are you short of money."

Mu Qingyao's voice was very soft, and there was a thick hope in her eyes.

Hearing the word lack of money, Yun Que's lazy expression immediately became vigilant.

It doesn't matter who says this kind of thing, whether it's a naturally beautiful girl or an uncle with a lewd face.

The artistic conception contained in it is the same.

Is there a lack of money?

Would you like a lump of candy?

Is there a difference.

No.

"Lack! Of course, I am short of money, and if I am not short of money, I can afford to hunt demons all over the mountains, but I am a self-aware person and have the ability to earn a hundred taels of silver, and I will definitely not accept a job of a thousand taels of silver. "Yun Que Dao.

Mu Qingyao ignored Yun Que's words, pursed her lips lightly and said:

"I want to ask you to be a temporary escort and send me back to the Heavenly Prayer Imperial City with a reward of three thousand taels of silver."

Yun Que took a breath of cold air, and didn't even think about waving his hand to refuse.

Mu Qingyao expected that the other party would not agree, and added in a somewhat solemn voice: "Plus a place in the Heavenly Prayer Palace." ”

Yun Que's eyebrows suddenly moved.

The name of the Tianqi School Palace is known to everyone in the world.

Tianqi Xue Palace does not belong to the imperial dynasty, does not obey the emperor's dispatch, although it is located in the imperial city, but out of the world.

Since its establishment, Tianqi School Palace has a history of nearly 1,000 years, and has gone through several generations of dynasties.

There are 12 halls in the Tianqi School Palace, which are classified and complex, and each hall has a teacher who has cultivated to be profound.

If you can enter the Heavenly Prayer Palace to study, even if you don't learn any skills after you come out, if you have the identity of a disciple of the Academy, you will be respected by all forces, which is tantamount to a talisman for walking the world.

People who want to enter the Tianqi School Palace are like carp crossing the river, how can the number of places be limited, there are few students every year, either the talented people are the children of the wealthy families after the famous family, ordinary people want to enter the school palace, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

can give a place in the school palace, even many royal relatives can't do it.

Yun Que didn't know Mu Qingyao's identity.

The girl on the opposite side is not only worried about the seventh-order tiger demon, but also can give the place in the school palace, and her identity is definitely not simple.

"You don't have to reply to me now, you can think about it."

After Mu Qingyao finished speaking, she looked out the door.

Wu Dachuan and several officials were rushing to this side.

As soon as he entered the door, after seeing Yun Que, Wu Dachuan let out a sigh of relief and said:

"Brother Yun, why are you missing? The demon came out on his own, and it was actually the maid of the county lord's family, not Xiaocui at all! When I asked her how she had passed, she said that she had been in a daze and delirious, as if she had just woken up from a dream. ”

"Possessed by a ghost, it's okay to wake up." Cloud lacks a way.

"It turns out that Brother Yun already knew that it was a maid! What about the prefectural magistrate? Wu Dachuan felt that there was something under his feet, looked down and wondered: "Why is there a pile of broken stones?" ”

"What you stepped on is the county magistrate." Cloud lacks a way.

Wu Dachuan was so frightened that he jumped so high that he exclaimed: "How can the adults be broken, broken!" ”

"Fake, there are demons pretending to be county orders, you go find the real county order, I guess it's still in the yamen, it's here, I'll go back."

Yun Que said goodbye and Mu Qingyao left the county office.

Wu Dachuan, Niu Bucai and others were looking for a meal in the county office, and finally found the county magistrate Ma Yong in the latrine.

Fortunately, it came in time, and a little later, the county magistrate's little horse had to be drowned.

Although the twin cases are over, the county magistrate is no longer interested in all kinds of food, and he wants to vomit when he sees anything to eat.

Back in Buyi Lane, it was already getting dark.

didn't get a meal at the county government at noon, Yun Que was already hungry.

Get home and get busy.

Cut two catties of fresh pork belly into large slices, cut half a cabbage, green onions, ginger and garlic in a large fryer, add vermicelli and boil, not long after a while, the room was full of vegetable fragrance.

A whole small pot of pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli, steaming hot.

After a few more large white-flour steamed buns, Yun Que devoured them.

Mu Qingyao saw this kind of folk cuisine for the first time, tore off a small piece of steamed bread with two slender fingers, chewed it slowly, and paid attention to the dishes, only starting from the top, only enough for a small bite of the dishes at a time, eating gentle and elegant, faintly revealing a kind of nobility.

On the other hand, if you look at the lack of clouds, you will eat hard, and he will be what the wolves eat.

There was a small oil lamp lit in the room.

Two figures are reflected on the window paper.

In contrast, the sides of the small wooden table are simply beautiful and fierce beasts.

Two completely opposite views.

After eating five steamed buns in one go, Yun Que burped.

Mu Qingyao on the opposite side hadn't even finished half a steamed bun.

Seeing that Yun Que was full, Mu Qingyao put down the food in his hand.

"We poor people don't pay so much attention, you eat yours." Cloud lacks a way.

The rule in the high-ranking family is that once the owner of the family finishes eating, the others will not continue to eat.

"I'm full."

Mu Qingyao said with a shallow smile on her face: "The craftsmanship is good, it's delicious, I have never eaten this kind of dish in the palace." ”

"It turned out to be the county lord of the golden branches and jade leaves, no wonder he dared to bid three thousand taels."

Yun Que leaned on the couch, his voice was lazy, and he did not show due respect because of the other party's noble status.

"Money and other things, if you don't think it's enough, I can add more, but the quota of the Tianqi Academy Palace is difficult to buy with money, how do you think about it." Mu Qingyao said softly.

"Tomorrow morning, go from the south gate of the town, go to Zuowuji Town, and go to the right Baiyu City, both roads lead to heaven."

Yun Que said listlessly:

"If you are willing to pay two hundred taels of silver, I can send you to Wuji Town or Baiyu City, and then you can go by yourself, I personally recommend that you go to Baiyu City, because Baiyucheng is an important town for jade trading, there are many merchants coming and going, and there are many garrisons in the city.

Mu Qingyao was not disappointed, and said in a light voice:

"With your skills, staying in Zangshi Town will only bury talents, and gold will shine, but if you don't see the light of day, no matter how valuable the treasure is, it will not be able to show its brilliance."

"Scholars speak really well, but it's a pity that I'm not gold, let alone a treasure, I'm just an ordinary martial artist, I have nothing to do to hunt some demons, check corpses to make extra money, live in the world, eat and wait for death." Cloud lacks a way.

"You can compete with the seventh-order demons, you should be in the seventh-rank realm, if you serve the imperial court, you are at least at the level of a partial general and a guerrilla general, such a skill, how can you be an ordinary man." Mu Qing Yao said.

"The county lord's vision is not very good, where am I a seventh-grade martial artist, I'm just a little eight-rank martial artist." Cloud lacks a way.

Mu Qingyao's steady gaze flickered, and shock appeared in her heart.

She always thought that the seventh-order tiger demon disguised as a county order was in the same realm as Yun Que.

And in Mu Qingyao's opinion, Yun Que's strength should faintly suppress the tiger demon.

This can also be confirmed from the tone of the tiger demon Pingshanjun, Mu Qingyao can hear that the tiger demon has a very strong fear of Yun Que.

If it weren't for the lack of clouds, the Tiger Demon Pingshan Jun would have come to the body.

A seventh-order tiger demon, an eighth-rank martial artist will definitely not be able to stop her, and she, the county lord, will definitely die at that time.

But Pingshan-kun didn't come.

Only a puppet double was used.

An assassination attempt was unsuccessful, and he immediately fled.

Isn't that an obvious taboo, and what is it?

Mu Qingyao really couldn't figure out why Yun Que could shake the powerful tiger demon of the seventh order with the realm cultivation of an eighth-rank martial artist!

Suppressing the shock and doubts in her heart, Mu Qingyao said calmly:

"The first three realms of a martial artist are the acquired realm, the ninth grade refining body, the eighth grade refining bone, and the seventh grade refining god, these three acquired realms are the most expensive and require a lot of drugs to increase qi and blood to refine the body."

"Especially in the eight-grade bone refining realm, the resources required are extremely huge, you are in the county government for an autopsy, a body is only a hundred copper coins, and it is not enough to earn money for bone refining medicine in a few lifetimes, even if you can make money by hunting demons, if you want to rush into the seven-grade refining god, you don't know what year and month it will take."

"If you can escort me back to the Imperial City, I can provide you with all the medicinal materials in the Bone Refining Realm, I don't want to die, I want to live."

Mu Qingyao's voice was very soft, and she could hear it from the heart, in addition to the transaction, there was also her expectation of living.

Yun Que was silent for a moment.

"You don't recognize Pingshanjun's tiger demon, right?"

Mu Qingyao nodded lightly.

"The consumption of the Bone Refining Realm is indeed too great, the benefits you give are very tempting, to be honest, I am very tempted, but I will not accept this deal."

Yun Que smiled and said: "Pingshanjun's old demon is very lazy, it won't kill a county lord for no reason, someone must have instructed it, it's not a big problem to deal with Pingshanjun, I really can't do anything to deal with the forces behind it, I'm sorry, if I promise you, I won't send you back to the imperial city, but die with you." ”

Mu Qingyao sighed softly and said unwillingly:

"The twelve halls of the Tianqi School Palace, containing the essence of Confucianism, Taoism and martial arts, if you enter the School Palace, you have the opportunity to transfer to other systems, with your intelligence, cultivation and Confucianism are definitely more suitable, martial arts, it is too difficult."

"This doesn't need to be the county lord's concern."

Yun Que yawned and said, "I can't enter Confucianism, I can't enter Taoism, I can't worship Bodhisattva, I can only be a martial artist in this life." ”

"Why?" Mu Qingyao wondered.

"Because of my life, I would have been sold a long time ago." Cloud lacks a way.
