Chapter 156 Pulling the banner as a tiger skin

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. In a powerful society, the longer you are in office, the more greedy you become, and the more corruption skills you learn. In contrast, Liu Ziqing, who has been an official for eight years, is still a newcomer to the officialdom and a newcomer to the corruption feast, and his skills are still immature...... That's it!

Xuantianmen is nominally in charge of three cities located in the abandoned land, but now, the two cities have been abandoned, only Jieyin City is still in their hands, and the purpose of retaining Jieyin City is probably that the high-level leaders of Xuantianmen still want to find the Yuan Ying of Jin Xiang Zhenjun.

However, in order to find Jin Xiang Zhenjun's Yuan Baby, Xuantianmen invested the most in Jieyin City, and the Yuanshen Tower they built could sense the appearance of powerful Yuanshen in the surrounding three hundred miles, which allowed Xuantianmen to predict the intruder in advance and deploy defenses in advance. Presumably, Jieyin City was able to be preserved, thanks to the powerful sensing ability of the Yuan Shen Tower.

The position of county minister is equivalent to the county finance minister, and he is an official in charge of money and grain household registration in a county, and he has a lot of power in his hands. Liu Ziqing has climbed to the level of the county order, demoted to the first level, and just re-assumed the position of county official, but this appointment is equivalent to letting a rat guard the granary.

However, this is nothing, Taiyue Gate does not know for what purpose, even the secular officials on the front line have to be appointed. This cloud could not refuse, but ...... Is this the only way to do the clouds? Qi Shao underestimated him too much.

Guessing from Qi Shao's words, the new rules for participating in the war may be: each team relies on a city to carry out, and uses this city as a base point to develop into the demon beast forest. Only in this way would Qi Shao ask Yun Duo, the captain, to select the ordinary officials who would manage the city, otherwise, such a task should be in charge of the leader of the Xuantianmen Alliance team, Yuanying Zhenjun Jin Teng.

It is not known which city the clouds are assigned to, but it doesn't matter. The clouds have issued an order to retreat. Civilians are allowed to evacuate freely, so that the number of civilians left in the city is not large, and in the forsaken land, the power in the hands of the immortals is extraordinarily great, as long as the mortal is not pleasing to the eye. You can find a reason to erase it at any time, and you don't even need to go through a trial or look for Liu Ziqing's crimes.

Of course, Liu Ziqing, who came out of the abandoned land, also understands this very well. Coming out of the prison where he was imprisoned, he smiled flatteringly at the clouds, never mentioning his verses again, and only cautiously testing along the way, hoping to know in advance where the county seat where he might work.

Returning to the annex of Xuantianmen, Liu Ziqing was not qualified to enter the third courtyard of the annex. Cui Sheng arranged him in the first courtyard. Waiting for the clouds to leave, Liu Ziqing immediately turned his flattery to Cui Sheng, and his attitude was extremely humble: "Lord Cui, the villain is polite, you see, my lord, I am fortunate to be valued by the Master Qingfang, but the villain's family ...... Ahem.

My lord, can you arrange a few more rooms for me? so that the villain can bring out his wife, concubines, and children...... They also suffered with me, but fortunately now the villain has a good home? Look, you're more accommodating about this?"

Favored by the clouds?

This is pulling the flag and making a tiger skin!

Cui Sheng didn't know what Liu Ziqing's so-called being valued by the clouds meant, he cautiously tested: "Oh, Qingzhu...... What does the Venerable Master think of you, tell me?"

Liu Ziqing smiled like a flower. Answer: "My lord, in fact, I am an old acquaintance with the master, do you know, the villain originally had a little poetic talent, and he had made a poem in his early years. I was fortunate enough to be corrected by the Venerable Master.

Alas, speaking of which, I met the master in this Fenglingdu, and in a blink of an eye, nine years have passed. At that time, the Venerable Master was very young, and I remember that he was only so tall, and there was a fairy with him, ah, the same fairy who is now with the Venerable Master.

Although the Venerable Master was not very old at that time, his knowledge was extraordinary......"

Talking too much for fear of revealing the stuffing, Liu Ziqing stopped the topic unfinished, with a look that you understand.

Cui Sheng couldn't figure out the details, but Yunduo was introduced nine years ago, and he did return to the sect through Guò Fenglingdu, and he always followed the maid Su Zhi by his side. These details can be matched, so he didn't dare to test it again, so he hurriedly put on a smile and kindly reminded: "Liu Ziqing, you, since you are an old acquaintance with Uncle Qingzhu, then you should know that the Qingzi generation has a high status in my Xuantianmen, although Uncle Qingzhu is still building a foundation now, but you can't call him by the word 'Master', you should call him a real person." ”

Liu Ziqing agreed repeatedly, and explained in a low voice: "That, I looked at the clothes on the Qingzhu real person to show that he was building the foundation and cultivating it, and I forgot that the Qingzhu real person is still a master of the Qingzi generation." Lady Cui, about the dormitory I want......"

Cui Sheng nodded: "Now that we don't have all the manpower, and the house is still free, I can allocate two rooms for you." ”

Liu Ziqing's face was embarrassed, he stretched out his finger, quietly compared a number, and then said carefully: "Lord Cui, I'm afraid two rooms are not enough, I have twenty-one concubines and eleven children......"

Cui Sheng fell down angrily: "More than thirty houses! Who do you think you are, I may allocate you thirty houses? Three at most, do you want to, don't even have these three." ”

Liu Ziqing carefully stretched out his claws and pinched Cui Sheng's hand, Cui Sheng felt a hard object appear in his hand, he touched it with his hand, it turned out to be two lower grade spirit stones.

Cui Sheng's mouth twitched: Two low-grade spirit stones, this little money is also used to bribe?

But considering that the other party is a mortal, two lower-grade spirit stones are already unimaginably huge wealth for mortals, especially since the other party is still a criminal official who has been robbed of his house, and he can secretly keep two lower-grade spirit stones, this guy is already very shrewd.

"It's also ...... For the sake of Uncle Qingzhen's face, I remind you: you have to bear your own expenses in the other courtyard. The rooms in the annex are not cheap, two spirit stones are only enough for a day's room in a house, as for the food money...... Hehe, the fees here don't use worldly gold and silver, they are all paid with spirit stones. Do you have the money?"

Liu Ziqing's face suddenly darkened.

Cui Sheng's tone changed: "...... However, if you can follow Iris Valley, it is also your luck, Iris Valley is the richest man in the door, even for mortals, I heard that there are mortals working in their workshop, and the income is analogous to that of a qi practitioner. So as long as you can admit it, I can give more houses. ”

Liu Ziqing was immediately happy: "Master Cui." This time, I'm going with a real person...... In Pingyin City, after the villain served as the county leader, there must be a gift to dedicate. The great grace of Lord Cui, the villain is toothless and unforgettable. It's just that now, in such a situation, the villain has nothing to grow. I had to hide the kindness of the adults in my heart, and when I had the chance, I would definitely make up for it. Adults can rest assured, villains will never dare to forget this love. ”

Cui Sheng snorted: "Of course I will rest assured, I can stay in this Fenglingdu for another four years, and I will still be responsible for the transfer and liaison of you people." You know, in the past four years, all the sect information has been forwarded by me, how can I not worry about you?"

Your little life is in my hands. I'm in the center, as long as I do something casually, I'm afraid that you won't pay back the money you owe?

Of course, Liu Ziqing understood this hint, and he frequently begged for mercy with a flattering smile on his face.

Cui Sheng snorted and waved his hand: "Seeing that you are an official, I will allocate you ten rooms, it is impossible to have more." You alone occupy ten rooms, how can such a monk be embarrassed?"

Liu Ziqing could only give his hands again and again to express his gratitude. Then. With a flattering smile, he asked in a low voice, "Master Cui." It is said that to lead out the family members, you need to produce a certificate here, you can see if you can, can you ...... Huh?"

Cui Sheng snorted at Liu Ziqing with his nostrils, pointed at his entourage, and ordered, "You give him a certificate." Then accompany him to lead the family members...... That's it, I'll go and see what else the Master needs to arrange. ”

In the third courtyard, Yun Duo witnessed the negotiation process between Liu Ziqing and Cui Sheng with his powerful divine sense, he shook his head lightly, and said to Su Zhi, "We can't completely rely on the communication network within the sect. You're here to set up a covert communication relay.

In addition, the monks who came later will also be arranged by you, and the green bass will arrive here with the fifth wave of personnel, and when the green tree arrives, our logistics supply team members will be complete, and the personnel who will arrive sporadically in the future don't have to worry about them.

After Qingli arrives, you hand over the follow-up work to Qinglin, and then you rush to Shanggu City to make peace with me. This is an important matter, and I can only reassure you that you must select reliable personnel to ensure absolute secrecy. And I had to leave for a while to show my innocence.

Well, don't persuade it, it's a matter of life and death for us. In addition, I am also anxious now, I hope to see my family as soon as possible, you can stay here, by the way, inquire more about the situation on the front line, inquire about how the various teams divide the war zone, and strive to assign us a good position.

In short, you need to know more about the fighting on the front. Oh, it's said that information determines judgment, and the more comprehensive information you get, the easier it will be for us to survive on the battlefield......"

Su Zhi squirmed her lips, she wanted to say something persuasive, but she also knew that Yun Duo couldn't listen to any persuasion at this time. So after hesitating, Su Zhi flipped her hand, took out a pair of sound transmission devices from her own space, and quietly handed them to Yunduo.

"Childe, this thing is more powerful than the sound of thousands of miles, it is said that it can transmit messages to each other within a range of 150,000 miles, you take it quietly, and call me immediately if there is anything. ”

This device is disabled in Forsaken Lands. Because this kind of sound transmission device also has a positioning function, if it is captured by a demon beast, they can accurately locate the location of the other party according to this thing...... Of course, this is not the main reason for banning such devices.

It is forbidden to use any overly advanced auxiliary magic weapons in the Demon Beast Forest, especially such magic weapons that can be used for communication, in order to prevent the demon beasts from gaining relevant knowledge and using them against humans.

However, Yun Duo has always despised this kind of small calculation, and he believes that human wisdom is infinite, and human creativity is also constantly evolving. Even if the monster beast obtains this kind of relevant knowledge, then as long as the human race invents better equipment and surpasses the monster with a higher level of technology, it can always maintain the technological overpower.

And if the monster beast only wants to copy things with copycat humans, haha, a civilization that has no power to create can only walk into a dead end. Such a civilization is nothing to fear.

Accepting the Wanli microphone handed by Su Zhi, Yun Duo bowed his hand and said goodbye: "I won't say hello to others, the monks behind have arrived ......"

Su Zhi immediately added, "I will tell them: You are in retreat and cultivating. ”

Yun Duo nodded, waving goodbye to Su Zhi.

Leaving Fenglingdu, you still have to go through the inner city of Guò - there is only one way in and out of Fenglingdu. The clouds entered the inner city in their true form and did not cause any waves. Because the timing chosen by Yun Duo was just right, when he entered the inner city, it happened that the disciples of Lingxiao Gate who participated in the battle arrived in Fenglingdu, therefore. Most of the guards who recognized Yun Duo thought he was here to greet the disciples of Ling Xiao Sect.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Duo used the short-distance teleportation array to teleport to the other side of the embankment of Fenglingdu-the embankment leading to the Demon Beast Forest, he walked down the gentle slope of the embankment, and the guard standing on the embankment looked at the clouds very strangely, such a foundation building period monk. Dare to walk alone to the Demon Beast Forest, doesn't he know that the Demon Beast Forest is very dangerous now?

However, these guards did not come to inquire, because their mission was to prevent and inspect the monks who entered Fenglingdu from the Demon Beast Forest, and did not interfere with the monks who left.

Yun Duo walked into the demon beast forest at the usual speed unhurriedly, until it was about thirty miles away from Fenglingdu, feeling that it would not be noticed by the Yuanying monk of Fenglingdu here, Yunduo burrowed into the deep and dense place of the forest, and quietly changed his outfit.

When he came out again, he changed into the loose repair clothes in the Jincheng storage ring. took the Thousand Illusions mask that Jin Cheng gave him, and then copied his hands, summoned his little poodle, and called out the ghost Jin Cheng to accompany him.

A man, a woman, and a dog walked deeper into the forest.

About twenty miles forward, at this distance, even the Yuanying monk of Fenglingdu could not check the movement of the clouds, and Jin Cheng smiled and said, "Actually, you can ride a poodle." That's all this stupid dog is for, and you're not going to ride it?

Let's talk about it. Jin Cheng touched the poodle's head, the poodle didn't know what to do, he couldn't understand Jin Cheng's words, he just whined happily, stretched out his tongue and licked Jin Cheng's puppet palm, and then ran to the side of the cloud in a flattering manner. Whining around the legs of the clouds.

This little poodle is a first-order demon beast just born, and from the first order to the second-order demon beast, its advancement speed is very fast. When Yun Duo was still a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, there was no contract between him and the little poodle that could be suppressed. Therefore, when the little poodle became a second-order demon beast, Yun Duo could only hide it in the spirit beast ring and let it fall asleep for a long time.

Now, the cloud has completed the foundation building, and the cultivation can already suppress the little poodle, and the little poodle can also make a public appearance, but it can still be used as a mount?

The little poodle comes from the Demon Beast Forest, but it doesn't have the joy of returning to its hometown at the moment. Maybe in the dog's simple memory, there is no concept of hometown at all, it only knows that the legs around the clouds keep barking, and they are trying to please and do cute movements.

Yun Duo was amused by the little poodle's cute appearance, and he was in a good mood because of it. He took out the pill bottle from his bosom and threw a pill to the little poodle, he teased: "Okay, you haven't eaten for a few years, you must be hungry and disabled, eat a pill first, and then go hunting by yourself." ”

The pill was thrown out, and the little poodle jumped into the air, quickly swallowing the pill, and then, it rolled happily on the ground, shook its head and burrowed into the forest.

When the little poodle ran away, Yun Duo turned around and asked Jin Cheng: "What, the second-order demon beast can change its size and be used as a mount? But what is the use of a mount? It can be more powerful than the spell of shrinking the ground into inches?"

"You are stupid", Jin Cheng nodded as a matter of course: "There is wood everywhere here, you can't run, you can't walk, you can't walk fast." Snakes and insects hide under the leaves. But the demon beast is different, the second-order demon beast is already a foundation building cultivation, and the body size can become bigger and smaller, which is the basic ability of the demon beast. What's more, the coercion of the demon beast is emanated, and other demon beasts will treat it as their own kind, so they will naturally not attack you.

Ah, you didn't even know that demon beasts could be used as mounts? You haven't seen the flying cloud crane of the green tree?...... Well, you're dressed nicely. ”

The cloud is dressed as Jin Cheng.

At the beginning, in order to infiltrate the Yuesen Continent, Jin Cheng prepared a lot of things that could cover his identity, and the clothes were naturally included, and there were many sets in Jin Cheng's rings, and various identities were men's and women's clothing. The material of this costume is not from the Yuesen Continent, it is a product of the Eastern Yingzhou Continent, and its origin is completely unknown from the fabric and cut.

The Thousand Illusions Mask on the face of the cloud is also brought by Jin Cheng from his hometown, this Thousand Illusion Mask, it is said to be made of a kind of demon beast skin that can be illusioned, it has a specific memory function, and several appearance modes can be set according to the user's wishes, and then the type required is turned on when it is used, as long as the magic is urged, this appearance is fixed on the mask, and then there is no need to use the aura to maintain the mask.

In this way, the whole mask is like the second skin of the human body, there is no aura fluctuation at all, and others cannot sense the aura to see through the disguise. Even if the user uses it for a long time, he does not need to take off the mask, he can wash his face normally, and even draw eyebrows and makeup on the mask.

Cloud has memories of another world, and he knows that the best disguise is a popular face, so he developed a mask pattern of nine popular faces of different ages. This kind of face is not distinctive, and people feel that they may have seen this face somewhere, but when they look back, they will completely forget this face that is not known to the public.

Cloud was now taller and completely grown-up, and at this size he could disguise himself as a monk of any age. Now he had a dusty look on his face, and his complexion was very gray, like a tired traveler who had traveled a long way.

The route chosen by the cloud is not a formal forest trail, he almost walks through the forest...... Strangely, people say that the Demon Beast Forest is extremely dangerous now, but so far no Demon Beast has come out to attack the clouds.

Not far away, there was a milky roar of the little poodle, Yun Duo did not panic and ran over, he crossed the forest at a normal speed, and touched the little poodle shouting, and Jin Cheng still nagged along the way: "I said, your face, you can't remember it when you look at it, what are you worried about with this mask?

Alas, I said, this place is too close to Fenglingdu, and the valuable demon beasts have been cleaned up, and there are some worthless demon beasts back and forth, but they are still bold, you see, you see, even the caterpillars have come to bully me. I said, "What are you trying to do for the woods?" (to be continued......)
