Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Clans That Exploit the Clansmen
What are the rules and regulations that restrict ordinary people?
For example, the younger generation should listen to the teachings of the elders, be born in a large family and obey the arrangements of the clan, become biological children when they grow up, and be quiet and gentle in girls, and be able to use needles and threads to enter the kitchen...... And so on, as if everyone in the world has to live by the rules, and can't be mavericks.
However, people are different, there can be rules, and it is not necessary to do things according to the rules.
In Yinggu's view, Pei Ruxi can build a foundation within ten years, and ten years later, he will be the pillar of the Pei clan and be able to lead the clan to prosperity.
Such an outstanding genius must be a treasure in the Lin clan, and he can get resources without any labor. Pei's only gave her spiritual food and a small amount of elixir spirit stones, and he couldn't wait to ask her to raise fish and hunt demon beasts, for fear that the little resources used on her would not be able to get it back, and she was really short-sighted.
Yinggu said: "Don't care too much about the clan, the arrangement of the clan is sometimes very stupid, and the patriarch is not wise, he is very confused, don't believe him." ”
Pei Ruxi agreed with Aunt Ying's words and replied solemnly: "I won't completely follow the clan's arrangement, auntie, please rest assured." ”
Ying Gu patted her shoulder with satisfaction and said, "You get the good of the clan, just repay the clan in your way, don't give up your path for the clan." ”
Pei Ruxi thought of Aunt Ying's past, and asked after considering the wording: "Auntie, can I ask you a question? The question is related to your cultivation. ”
Yinggu's attitude is very easy-going.
"Just ask, I won't necessarily give you the answer. ”
"Do you want to build a foundation?"
Building a foundation?
Ying Gu was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Of course I think, no monk would not want to build a foundation. ”
The two parted by the lake, Yinggu continued to enjoy the music, and Pei Ruxi continued to feed the fish.
Half an hour later, Pei Ruxi parked the boat and went ashore and prepared to go home.
There was a little zhi cutting melons in front of the stone house, and he raised his voice to greet: "Sister Ru in the past, this is the spirit melon that my grandfather planted, he asked someone else to send it to the ancestral house for me, do you want to taste it?" If you like it, I will give you two melons." ”
"Give me a slice of melon to taste. Pei Ruxi walked over, "Brother Xiaozhi, how many melons did your grandfather send to you?"
"Not much, only eight. Xiao Zhi said.
His grandfather's cultivation is very low, and he has been cultivating and farming in the countryside, planting crops with aura, mainly rice, followed by fruits, vegetables and trees.
Luoxia City is a small city between the mountains, and the Pei clan's channels for obtaining income are very miscellaneous, in addition to breeding spirit fish and spirit beasts, it is refining magic weapons, mining and planting crops.
Including Liang Jianan, the Pei clan has three refiners, who can refine first-order and second-order magic weapons, and third-order magic weapons cannot be refined.
There is only one alchemist, and the pills produced are only enough to meet daily needs, and there are almost no surplus pills to sell. For pills such as Xiaolu Dan and Cleansing Pill that warm the meridians, the clan does not have a pill prescription, and if you want to eat it, you have to spend money to buy it.
As for the talismans, the Pei clan did not have third-order talismans, and there were not many second-order talismans.
Every two to three years, the Pei clan will organize people to go into the mountains to hunt demon beasts, obtain the skin, flesh, muscles and bones of demon beasts, etc., and exchange them with other immortal cultivation families for third-order items such as Zhuji Dan. However, the number of demon beasts in the mountains is limited, and the Xiuxian family has hunted the ones that are easy to hunt, and the remaining ones either lack the value of hunting or cannot be provoked.
On the whole, the harvest of the monks of Luoxia City into the mountain showed a trend of decreasing every time, and the income of the Pei clan was also decreasing year by year.
Pei Ruxi didn't go out often, and he still knew a rough idea of what businesses the clan operated. She accepted the melon given by Xiao Zhi and gave him a piece of paper as a return gift.
Xiao Zhi read the content on the paper, it was a light body technique.
Ying Gu commented: "This light body technique is a little better than the clan. If you are willing to give it to you, you can hold it with peace of mind, and without the consent of the past, don't teach this light body technique to others. ”
Xiao Zhi: "I just want to give her melons to eat, I didn't think about accepting her things." ”
Yinggu: "She is good to you, you are also good to her, don't be too careful, and don't make 'Shengmien, fight Mi Qiu'." ”
Xiao Zhi said that he knew.
The night covered the earth, and more than a dozen fluffy glowing balls floated in the sky above the show garden, scattering a dim light. They sensed Pei Ruxi's return, and separated into three small dangling balls above her head, lighting the way for her.
Pei Ruxi was too short to reach these balls.
Seeing that the light of a small ball was not as bright as anything else, she threw out her mastery technique and pulled it down, injecting spiritual power into the runes engraved inside the ball. The ball quickly brightened, Pei Ruxi let go of his hand, and the ball flew into the sky to be accompanied by other balls.
This is the lamp refined by Liang Jianan, Pei Ruxi participated in it, and engraved the runes that store spiritual power, and the small ball can be used for three months when it is filled with spiritual power once.
She checked all the balls, and soon passed by the south yard and heard the cry of a baby coming from inside.
Zhizhi doesn't seem to be in it.
At noon the next day, Pei Ruxi and Liang Jiannan ate melons together, and Zhizhi slept in the east courtyard.
"She said she was very sleepy, and the children were noisy that she couldn't sleep well, and I was quiet here, suitable for resting. Liang Jiannan said.
"Hmm. Pei Ruxi didn't care where Zhizhi was last night, so he changed the subject, "The patriarch asked me to go over to see him this morning, I didn't go, he sent me a summons and asked me to persuade you to go to the vessel workshop to refine the weapon." ”
"The vessel shop didn't treat me as a refiner, and your thirteenth uncle and another refiner treated me like a miscellaneous man, and they didn't pay me. Liang Jiannan briefly explained the situation, "I learned to refine the instrument in the instrument workshop, and it is understandable that the instrument workshop requires me to do things, but I have to know how long I have to work for the instrument workshop before I can get out." ”
"Does A-Niang need my help?" asked Pei Ruxi.
"I don't want to trouble you. However, my surname is not Pei, and I lack strength, so it is difficult to obtain fair treatment from the instrument workshop. Liang Jiannan sincerely saluted Pei Ruxi, "If you can, please help me fight for the treatment I deserve, and if it is done, I will share 30% of the income from refining in ten years." ”
Pei Ruxi asked, "What should I do?"
Liang Jiannan had already thought about what to do, and said confidently: "Go to the instrument shop with me, I will use your identity to suppress your thirteenth uncle and your ninth uncle." ”
The thirteenth uncle and the ninth uncle are a father and son, although they were born in a side branch, but the status of the father and son in the clan is equivalent to the lineage. The patriarch and the sixth uncle did not get along, and the thirteenth uncle father and son sometimes stood on the side of the patriarch, sometimes on the side of the sixth uncle, and their position wavered.
Pei Ruxi and Liang Jiannan went to the instrument workshop, and the thirteenth uncle immediately asked Liang Jiannan to deal with a batch of ore.
Liang Jiannan didn't move, and said: "I work in the instrument workshop, and I haven't gotten a spirit coin from the instrument workshop so far; your grandson has not yet learned to refine the weapon, but he can get a hundred spirit stones in the instrument workshop every month." I would like to know when I will be paid. ”
