Chapter 36: Life in Xiancun
On the second day after returning to Juying Building in Shuangshi Immortal Village, an immortal came to look for him, saying that Wang Chong, the village owner, wanted to see him. It is estimated that the big fight with Song Ning and others in Xianxiang spread to Xiancun.
Song Ning and others bullied weak girls, the reason was on their side, Jin Ling was not afraid, and went quietly.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Chong saw Jin Ling, his face sank, "Boy, you are so bold!"
Jin Ling was silent.
Wang Chong still said in a deep voice: "The Song brothers of Xianxiang, you don't know them, their father is the deputy captain of the Xianxiang Guard, and he has a good relationship with the township master, so he is his son and nephew." You made a big fuss with him in the street, although you didn't do anything, but there were many onlookers, and the impact was very bad. β
"His father is the deputy captain of the Xianxiang Guard, and the onlookers will naturally settle this account in Xianxiang. This matter is a big blow to the dignity of Xianxiang. β
Jin Ling said proudly: "What does the village lord mean, am I doing something wrong? I shouldn't help, but let the Song brothers bully people?"
Wang Chong was stunned, waved his hand and said: "I didn't mean that, of course everyone knows the merits." It's just that when you actually do things, when you make trouble, you have to leave some dignity for the township lord's mansion. It is not a good thing that the village lord's mansion has no authority and prestige among the people. β
Jin Ling thought about it, isn't this similar to what the officials of later generations do, if something happens, you have to consider the impact and eliminate the impact. However, in later life, he has done many types of work and changed many bosses, at least he understands a truth, don't work with the person who pays him.
So he arched his hand and said: "Thank you Lord Township for reminding me, my subordinates will definitely pay attention to it in the future and maintain the prestige of Xianxiang and Xiancun." β
"Hmm. Wang Chong nodded, acknowledging his attitude. He also said: "Xianxiang, compared to the superior of our Xiancun, in terms of status, is a cut above us. The way of governing the country of immortals, especially the courtesy. No matter what the reason is, after all, it was you who collided with the superior immortals, and since this is the case, I will punish you. β
Song Ning's two stinky boys, high-level immortals, Jin Ling was a hundred dissatisfied in his heart.
"In this way, I am going to hand over the errand of your forage field to others, and you can also concentrate on entering the Immortal Village Juying Building to cultivate, or you can be well controlled. β
Jin Ling has no opinion on this. These days, although he nominally joined the Xiancun Juying Building, in fact, he is still in charge of the forage field, and he has no time to train in the Juying Building. However, this is what Wang Chong called the punishment? It's too light, isn't it?
Seeing that he was still stunned, Wang Chong said angrily: "Don't leave yet?"
"Oh. Jin Ling raised his leg to leave.
"Wait a minute, I have one more thing to say. Wang Chong's heroic face changed to a layer of melancholy.
Jin Ling stood up, "Please give me advice." β
"The world of immortals is a very cruel system. Wang Chong said, "Don't be fooled by the superficial balance and stability. When you're not strong and don't have the backing of a strong person, it's best to keep a low profile. If there was a slightly strong man in Song Ning's followers in Xianxiang at that time, and he killed you on the spot, I wouldn't be surprised. β
"Kill me?" Jin Ling laughed, "Township master, they all serve in the same immortal township, but because he cheated on the little girl of a few gold yuan, he will kill someone?"
"It's very common to kill people in a vindictive spirit. Is it rare for young people to fall behind and fight for their breath and do extreme things? Go back and think about it yourself. "Wang Chong sent off the guests.
Jin Ling pondered Wang Chong's words and went to the forage field. As soon as the front foot arrived, two junior immortals came on the back foot, fully armed, saying that they wanted to replace Jin Ling.
"The order of the village lord. It is said that there has been an abnormal movement of the demonic beasts near Lingshan recently, and dozens of people have been killed and injured. Previously, there were also Warcraft activities around this forage field, and you also participated. Now, you're alone in this hay field, and it's dangerous to have any more monsters break in. An immortal said.
Jin Ling hastily packed his luggage, came to the cellar again, and stored all the wine in it in the space of the black bracelet. This is a great plan he came up with to make a fortune, and it cannot be in vain. Moreover, he found that in the space of the black bracelet, it seemed that the effect of brewing was better, and the storage time was shorter to achieve the intended effect.
After staying at home for a day, he took the little earth dog Beanzi to the village lord's mansion of Shuangshixian Village to report. Wang Chong didn't see it, but saw the housekeeper of the village lord's mansion and asked him to go to the escort team to be trained and punished.
There are a total of six guards in the Village Lord's Mansion, plus Jin Ling, there are seven in total, except for Jin Ling, the others are not immortals.
The immortals felt that their status was higher than that of mortals, so where would they be willing to do these inferior jobs of staying up all night patrolling and guarding. If there were no wars, these things were generally done by mortals. Only when the situation is tense or there is fighting, will the immortals participate in the patrol.
Now due to the abnormal movements of the demonic beasts, the situation in the fairy village is tense, and the village lord's mansion has studied and prepared to let the immortals participate in the night patrol. Jin Ling is a trialist. With the Precursors participating in the Night Patrol, the opposition of the other immortals will be much smaller.
Jin Ling stayed in the escort team for the time being. only to find out that the guard Wang Dong, who had been robbing him of his wine, was also among them. When the two met, they stared at each other, and they both felt very embarrassed.
The main job of the guards is to guard the door and patrol, and they are relatively free at other times except for duty. I don't know if I forgot or what, several days have passed, and Wang Chong didn't summon Jin Ling to Juying Building. Even if there were a few face-to-face opportunities, they were all in a hurry and didn't mention it.
In addition to the guard patrol work, Jin Ling can still live in Juying Building and participate in training.
Juying Building is said to be a building, but it is actually a large courtyard in the village lord's mansion, which is divided into three parts: accommodation and living area, cultivation area and library building.
Jin Ling's favorite thing to go to the library to read books is that there are only two bookshelves open to ordinary visitors to the level of immortals, and there are about forty or fifty martial arts books, most of which are basic books, such as what immortal essentials, primary immortal grass identification, immortal cultivation mine, basic demonic beast identification, etc., as well as some specific weapon use methods, martial arts books, etc.
Jin Ling knew that his foundation was very poor. The books on these two shelves are basically very useful to yourself. I didn't pick it, so I started with the one in the upper left corner, and practiced while reading.
In the following month, in addition to eating and sleeping, Jin Ling came here to read books in the morning, went to the training ground in the cultivation area in the afternoon to practice and consolidate, and then read books in the evening. With the help of the Dao of Qi, he made rapid progress.
There are three or four masters in the building, who are high-level immortal cultivators, and they usually only care about their own cultivation. It is only when other immortals have questions and seek advice that they will be taught to explain their doubts. Most of the time, Jin Ling relied on his own comprehension, and there was no need not to find a master.
Soon he consolidated the knack of immortal power out of the body, and could easily use the immortal power in his body at will, condensing it into a sword shape, fist shape, and shield shape, and practicing attack and defense outside the body. The consumption of immortal power is extremely large, but the recovery is extremely slow, and the immortal power stored in the body is still too little. Every day, when the immortal power was almost consumed, Jin Ling had no choice but to practice ordinary martial arts.
He didn't have a decent weapon. In addition to the shotgun used for self-defense, when he went out, when he was in Juying Building, he only had the ordinary short sword made by Yang Dali, a blacksmith in Prairie Village. Originally, Jin Ling was very happy about it, but after Jin became an immortal with immortal power, he looked at one unpleasantly on the left and one on the right.
It's just that the pockets are empty, and they really can't afford to buy a fine iron weapon. Well, let's use it.
Go to Lingshan Immortal Township and spend all your savings. Paper can't hold fire. The news of spending all the family's money to buy a small earth dog quickly spread around, so that many people who came and went couldn't stop looking at Jin Ling with curious eyes. Some of the half-grown children in the village saw him and even had no scruples in calling him "stupid".
Brother is not a fool, brother picked up a big bargain. Several times Jin Ling faced strange eyes, he almost blurted out these words. Sheng Sheng held back, then shook his head, and walked away without excuse, quite a bit of "everyone is drunk and I am sober".
The little earth dog beans were originally tied by two slender purple and black iron chains, and Jin Ling untied them and threw them into the fairy bracelet. He didn't want to meet someone who knew the goods and run into any more trouble. Wang Chong, the village owner, is right, keep a low profile.
Douzi suddenly became lively, like an old man carrying a mountain on his back, turned back into a little naughty boy, following Jin Ling all day long, inseparable, not to mention how intimate he was.
From time to time, it was still breathing long breaths on Jin Ling's body, as if the breath on Jin Ling's body was a supreme delicacy.
The mutation of the Moon Howling Dog that the little girl Xian'er said did not appear in it at all.
The little earth dog Douzi finally has a good life here in Jinling, at least he eats better than by Xian'er's side. Jin Ling's family runs a wine shop, and from time to time he can go home and bring some appetizers that are not sold out in the shop, pig's head, pork ears or something. When Jin Ling was feasting on himself, he couldn't forget this difficult brother.
Douzi seems to have forgotten his former master, and he is just tired of being at Jin Ling's feet every day, accompanying him to relieve his boredom. The naΓ―ve and cute attitude of the little things always makes the teenager laugh. It is very clever and, more importantly, has a very sensitive sense of smell, and is always very impressed by the smells it has come into contact with.
However, what is strange is that on some moonlit nights, Beans will always sneak out on their own, only to come back in the middle of the night, and then seem exhausted.
"Did you go out to have a tryst with some little in the village?" Jin Ling didn't care much, and sometimes teased it earnestly, "You're still young, you can't fall in love." β
"Whew. "Beans have always been unabashedly disdainful of this new owner.
