After leaving Qingpingzhuang, Xiao Qian was still secretly sighing, sure enough, it was still the simplicity of this era when the people's wisdom had not yet opened, although this official was mediocre and greedy for money, it would not reach the point of not distinguishing between right and wrong.

As for those tricks of being officials, they have experienced the era of information explosion, although they have not been officials, but how to correctly guide public opinion to build momentum for themselves, these methods that have been used for thousands of years have long been analyzed clearly on the Internet, and Xiao Qianli is just using them to speculate and sell.

When he found the three apprentices, Li Chengyuan was playing with the two children with a bitter face, while Liu Suifeng and Chu Xun were sitting quietly on the side meditating and pranayama.

Seeing Xiao Qianli come back, Li Chengyuan ran to the master as if he had been pardoned, and cried: "Master, your old man can be regarded as coming back." ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Qianli nodded and said with a smile, "What's the matter?

Li Chengyuan nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said with a sad face: "Master, the disciples have asked clearly." Xiao Hou basically doesn't remember anything, Xiao Pi vaguely remembers Baiyang Village, Yushui River, and other than that, she can hardly remember anything......"

Xiao Qianli nodded and smiled: "Since you know the villages and rivers, that's enough." ”

Now that he had a strategic-level map in hand, he naturally didn't have to bother asking about it, and as soon as his mind moved, his mind was already sinking into the system.

"The host completed one of the prestige branch tasks ahead of schedule, and the reputation of the Pure Yang Palace in the Heyuan County area was increased to 60, reaching the 'Fame' stage. Assignment Assessment: Excellent. Reward the first layer of "Otogi Heart Method", and an additional reward of 500 exchange points. ”

"Ding!Prestige Branch Quest 2: The host needs to increase the reputation of the three adjacent regions of the faction to 50 for a period of one year. If the task is not completed, the host will be directly wiped out!"

"Ding! The host has been detected to have completed the first stage of the prestige mission, and the fourth main quest has been opened early. ”

"Ding! The fourth main task: the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, the funds required for the development of the sect are essential, and the protagonist needs to raise 500,000 taels of silver as soon as possible to prepare for the expansion of the sect, time limit: six months. This task can be extended once. ”

"The host successfully raised 1 million taels of silver and completed the fourth main quest ahead of schedule. Mission Rating: Perfect. Reward Special Building: Tai Chi Plaza, 1000 additional reward exchange points. ”

"Ding! Main Quest No. 5: The host needs to formulate a sect construction plan as soon as possible for expansion. Time limit: 7 days. This task can be extended once. Because the host has not completed the fourth main task, the task is temporarily unreachable. ”

Just glancing at the progress of the task, Xiao Qianli suddenly shouted in his heart, who would have thought that raising funds could also be regarded as a main task? If it weren't for Chu Xun getting the millions of dollars that Mei Xun and Yun Qingyang traded, this task alone would be enough for him to rack his brains.

As for the second prestige task, it was actually expected by Xiao Qianli, to build the Pure Yang Palace into the first sect, the prestige task was even more important than the construction task.

And the fifth main quest made Xiao Qianli feel a little curious.

"The task is not difficult, but this is the first time that there has been a state of 'temporarily unacceptable', and it stands to reason that the fifth task should appear directly after completing the fourth task. And my fourth quest started early, but the third quest was not completed for a long time, so I guess that's the reason why 'I can't take it for the time being'! In this way, the main quest to build the sect road is really too long......"

It's just that in this era, how difficult it is to build a winding mountain road? This is still Xiao Qianli's painstaking efforts, with the help of the vision of heaven and earth descended by the gods, which greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the people under the mountain, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete it in another year or two.

Starting with "Yimu Heart Method", Xiao Qianli moved his mind, and he had already learned this wood Xingxin method, and a simple book had quietly fallen into the treasure bag.

"There are now four copies of the Five Elements Mental Method, and there is still one book left. Although the Yang Gong "Tianyang Gong" is not as good as the above four courses, it is also a good introductory exercise, if you can get the Yin Xing Gong and make up the five elements of Yin and Yang, I don't know what special effects will appear. ”

This thought was just a flash in Xiao Qianli's mind and then tossed aside, although he now had 3,500 exchange points, he didn't plan to use these exchange points to obtain these mental methods.

"The exchange point is naturally used at the most critical time. ”

Last time, Heldong's "sword robbery" almost pushed him to a desperate situation, if it weren't for the fact that he used the exchange points he had worked so hard to save in the nirvana game to redeem the "Transformation Decision", now he was afraid that his bones would have been cold.

He thought about it, and found the location of Baiyang Village in the prestige system, so he withdrew from the system and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to Hongliu Village." ”

Li Chengyuan was like being amnestied, and said happily: "Since this is the case, then let's hurry up!"

The people went to the bazaar to fetch the horses they had deposited, and took the little skin and the two children on the road together, and walked southwest.

To the southwest is the mountains that stretch, everyone all the way to eat and sleep in the open, fortunately, Xiaopi and Xiao later are also through the medicine refining, the body is much stronger than ordinary children, walked for six or seven days, saw that the sky was about to darken, everyone came to a mountain col.

Rounding the foot of the mountain, a small, ruined village appeared in front of everyone. The village was small, with only fifty or sixty thatched huts, most of them dilapidated, with a few thatched sticks on broken beams, and the collapsed wooden doors were open, leaving the houses in shambles.

There are still some fields around the village, but they have been left untended for a long time, and the dry land shows large sections of cracks, as ugly as the cracks on a porcelain vase.

"This is Baiyang Village?" Li Chengyuan looked around curiously, "This doesn't look like a place where people live!"

Liu walked a few steps with the wind, nodded and said: "Look at these old poplar trees at the entrance of the village, presumably Poplar Village is also named after this, but I'm afraid it's here." ”

After coming to this village, Xiaopi and Xiaohou were silent a lot, and the two children tilted their heads and looked around, looking thoughtful.

"Xiaopi, do you remember anything?" Li Chengyuan reached out and picked up Xiaopi.

"Like...... I've seen ......," Pi scratched his withered yellow hair, and said with some embarrassment, "but it doesn't seem to be the same." ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Qianli nodded, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

After entering the small village and passing through a few dilapidated thatched houses, I saw a small stream not far away, which must be the source of water for people to drink. Xiao Qianli carefully checked the system map and confirmed that this stream, which was almost cut off, was the Yushui River in Xiaopikou.

After inspecting several rooms, they were covered with a thick layer of dust, all of which were obviously deserted for a long time, and judging from the traces, they had been uninhabited for at least two years.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Xun chose a thatched hut that was not too dilapidated, and as soon as he walked in, he retreated with a strange scream.

"What's wrong?" Li Chengyuan hurried over.

"It's nothing!" Chu Xun's face was a little hot, and he replied curtly, and walked into the room again. Everyone followed up to take a look, only to see that there were two white skeletons in the room, which seemed to have been dead for a long time.

Xiao Qianli stood at the door, walked out of the door with Xiao Pi in his hand, and asked, "Xiao Pi, do you remember where you lived before?"

Xiaopi hesitated for a long time before pointing to a hut not far away: "It seems to be ...... there"

"What about the little queen?"

Everyone looked at Xiao Hou, who was held by Liu Suifeng, she hesitated for a while, and shook her head a little shyly.

"It seems that when I was abducted, I was too young to ask anything. Liu Suifeng sighed lightly, "Forget it, let's go to Xiaopi's house first!"

The thatched hut that Pi pointed to had four small rooms, even more dilapidated than the previous ones, with walls almost reduced to a pile of rotten planks and holes everywhere. The roof was empty, the house was covered in mud and dust, and a few straws were caught in the wooden tenon, gently swaying in the breeze.

Xiao Qianli put down Xiaopi, but unexpectedly, the child hesitated for a while, and suddenly ran to the back room.

Seeing the two children running to the back room, the four of them also hurriedly followed, and saw Xiaopi groping on the dusty corner floor, and Xiaohou also followed to touch, I don't know what I touched, only to hear a soft sound of "creaking", and a wooden board was pulled out by Xiaohou. It's just that because of the excessive force, the little one sat on the ground with a "oops" and hugged the plank, and the little mouth was about to cry.

Li Chengyuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick up Xiao Hou for a while, and Xiao Pi smiled: "I know, my father and mother must be hiding inside, they often take me to hide inside-ah, by the way, I remember, at that time, Xiao Hou and I often played in it." ”

The wooden board was pulled out, and a dark cave inside was suddenly revealed, and Xiao Pi was just about to drill into it, but Xiao Qianli grabbed it and reached out to hug it.

"This hole has been left for too long, and the air inside is afraid that it is not very clean, so you can deal with it first. ”

Liu Suifeng nodded, and waved a few palms inside, the palm wind stirred, and suddenly a damp musty smell floated out.

Dispelling the poisonous gas inside, Chu Xun shook the fire fold, tried it at the entrance of the cave, and saw that the fire fold was crumbling, but it was not extinguished, so he took the lead in getting in.

The cellar is not large, it is about a place where food and miscellaneous items are usually stored, and everything can be seen at a glance. It's cold inside, and the long closure makes it smell stuffy and earthy.

In the light of the fire, a skeleton in the corner of the wall was revealed.

As if sensing something, there was no smile on Xiaopi's face, she struggled out of Xiao Qianli's embrace, and staggered towards the skeleton.
