Licheng, the largest city in the county.

It is located in the plain, with many fertile fields, and in a county, half of the people are within the jurisdiction of Licheng.

But the abundant resources did not make the life of the people in the city better, because three hundred miles west of the city leaned on the endless Black Cloud Mountain Range, in which there are not only fierce beasts and fierce birds, but also rare monsters in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

It is said that it is a snake demon!

Moreover, this snake demon practices Qimen Gongfa, and is good at concealing the breath, even if it is forbidden by the Great Zhou Law, it cannot be detected, let alone rain down thunder tribulations to eliminate harm for the people.

In order to take down the snake demon, the city lord's mansion will ask the people and the big families in the city to donate money many times a year.

The life of the people in the city in the past few years can be said to have been extremely difficult, and it is far less than the life in the barren land far away.

Castle Lord's Mansion.

Hu Lan, a disciple of the Holy Sect who was also the lord of Licheng, was greeting a guest in the high pavilion in the backyard.

"Tie Ku has seen Uncle Hu. ”

Tie Ku is a bald man, with a shiny scalp and a very strong figure, and his bulging muscles make the wide clothes tight.

"Haha...... , the teacher and nephew are polite, sit down, sit down!"

The city lord Hu Lan is dressed as a scribe today, and his original majestic momentum has been put away, like a middle-aged scholar who walks in the sea of books and reads scriptures.

I saw him take two steps forward to pick up the iron bitterness and speak enthusiastically.

"Today, I specially invited a chef who eats the world, and the ingredients are also local specialties Lingluo Beast, as well as wine and beauty, specially designed for my nephew to catch the wind and wash the dust!"

"Uncle Shi is polite!"

A smile appeared on Iron Bitter's dark face, and without much modesty, he came to the table and sat down.

They are all disciples of the Holy Father.

The Holy Sect pays attention to teaching without class, all laws are natural, and the sect master is proficient in Buddhism, Taoism, ghost cultivation and other methods, and his disciples are all over the Great Zhou, and there are many people, and sometimes the seniority is not so particular.

"If you want to talk about this spirit beast, the most delicious thing on its body is the thigh meat, the meat is delicate, melts in the mouth, and it is not fishy, even if it is eaten raw, it is also an excellent delicacy. ”

Hu Lan, the lord of Licheng, pays attention to food, even in the county town, he is also famous, and he is even more precious for all kinds of eating.

"Eating raw animal meat, isn't it like a monster, and the master and nephew are really not so hungry. ”

Tie Ku shook his head, disagreeing with Hu Lan's introduction.

"Uncle Shi is not busy eating and drinking, the things you want, Tie Ku has already brought, these things are too precious, I don't dare to put them on my body for a long time. ”

"Haha...... , with the skills of the master and nephew, and the reputation of our Holy Sect, is there anyone who dares to forcibly take your things?"

Hu Lan looked up and laughed, although these things were very important to him, he didn't seem to mind at all.

"It's okay to go somewhere else, but here, Uncle Shi, isn't there a haunted demon?"

Tie Ku blinked, but a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Don't be afraid, no matter how bold that demon is, he won't dare to provoke his uncle's guests!"

Hu Lanhui smiled knowingly, and the tacit understanding permeated between the two at the same time, and everything was unspoken.

"Uncle Shi, please look, soul washing water, condensing pill, soul fixing flower...... , colorful heart stone, glazed treasure, Buddhism three heart lamp...... , and these. ”

A piece of rare treasures glowing with spiritual light were taken out of the Qiankun bag one by one by Tie Ku, and filled the table, and in an instant the attic was already strange and colorful.

All kinds of strange treasures also made Hu Lan, who had always been steady, change his face slightly, and there was a touch of obsession in his eyes.

"Forbidden!"

In his heart, Hu grabbed the trick in his hand, and a vast force appeared out of thin air, wrapping this high pavilion tightly, and the spiritual light inside could no longer penetrate out.

"Borrowing the power of the Heaven and Earth Mixed Yuan Forbidden Law, Uncle Shi's methods are really enviable!"

Seeing this scene, Tie Ku couldn't help but show envy in his eyes.

"The nephew doesn't need to be envious, when you sit in the office, you can borrow it. But these are foreign objects after all, and they are far less powerful than the ontology!"

Hu Lan lowered his head and chuckled.

The reason why the rule of the Great Zhou was stable was that the imperial court had been mixed with the formation of this heaven and earth, and the city lords and generals from all over the country could directly borrow the power of the formation to deal with it.

The higher the official position, the greater the power that can be borrowed.

Like Hu Lan, raising his hands and feet will be blessed by the power of heaven and earth, and with full strength, even the Jindan Grandmaster of the lower three grades can be suppressed by him on the spot!

In addition, if you encounter an opponent who cannot cope with it, you can also temporarily apply for additional permissions.

Of course, the ability he can borrow is also limited, and once he exceeds a certain limit, he also needs to report to the court and explain the reason, otherwise what awaits him is a heavy punishment!

"It's hard to be an official!"

Tie Ku smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"That group of Confucian scholars control the government and say that being an official must assess their knowledge and temperament, and that's it! Isn't it unreasonable to even require good looks and majestic appearance?"

"Teachers and nephews can change their appearance. ”

"If someone finds out, it's a big sin! I have given up the idea of being an official, and I should honestly be my charlatan. ”

"People have their own aspirations, and if they live in the temple, they have to work hard for the government and the people's livelihood, and if they have less time to practice, it may not be beneficial to pursue the avenue. ”

Hu Lan comforted.

"Three years of county, a million gold! What do you want? Uncle Shi eats the elixir every day, isn't it a joke that my nephew is a poor sour?"

Tie Ku glanced at the things on the table, even if he didn't eat or drink all his life, he might not be able to exchange them.

And the other party, who has only been the lord of Licheng for a few years, can spend money to acquire it effortlessly.

The treasure of fixing the soul, attracting the soul, and concentrating the mind has always been priceless.

"Haha...... , by the way, 160,000 taels of gold, this is the money ticket of the Beijing Wantong Shop. ”

Hu Lan laughed, immediately took out a stack of silver tickets from his body, and handed them over.

"Uncle Hu, 100,000 taels is enough!"

Iron bitterly counted it, and then returned a part.

"Huh, why is that?"

Hu Lan's face was shocked, these things are treasures circulating within the Holy Sect, outsiders can't buy them if they want to, and it's impossible to discount them!

"Uncle Mingshu wants to ask Uncle Hu for some help, and the 60,000 taels of gold will be regarded as a reward, and Uncle Mingshu will pay it for you. ”

Iron bitter body probes.

"Oh, I don't know what's busy?"

Hu Lan's eyes moved slightly, and he asked quietly.

"Uncle Mingshu's two apprentices were killed not long ago. You also know Uncle Mingshu's temperament, he has always been protective of his shortcomings, and naturally he will not let go of the person who did it. According to reliable sources, the person who harmed the two juniors and disciples will come to Licheng to settle down in the near future. ”

"Is there any evidence?"

"Although there is no clear evidence, the situation has been spied by Uncle Shi at that time, and eight or nine are not far from ten!"

"There's no evidence. ”

Hu Lan had a gloomy face, and gently tapped the table in front of him with one hand.

"Uncle Hu, 60,000 taels of gold!"

Tie Ku smiled lightly and pushed the stack of silver tickets over.

Hu Lan's face immediately clouded and cloudy, and after a while, he suddenly spoke.

"Who's the one who did it?"

"An out-of-house brother of the Li family. ”

"Which Li family?"

"Naturally, it's the Li family. ”

"You want to hurt me!"

Hu Lan's face turned pale.

"Uncle Shi, don't worry!"

Tie Ku hurriedly shook his head and continued to speak.

"Uncle Shi, you also know that the Li family has a great business, and although some people have a name, they are actually an old peasant in the countryside! Although this family is good, he is just a rich family, and he is still a family concubine, so he is not treated at all. ”

"As far as I know, his family even wanted him to die. ”

"Moreover, the two disciples of Uncle Mingshu are from the Tian family. If you help with this, the Tian family will remember your kindness afterwards, and with the energy of the Tian family and the Holy Sect, it will be absolutely easy to help Uncle Shi go further. ”

The hard work also made Hu Lan's face gradually change.

After a long time, Hu Lan stretched out his hand and gently tapped the silver ticket in front of him.

"Half price!"

"Uncle Shi......"

Tie Ku's face was bitter, and after a while, he finally nodded.

"Deal!"

"Looks like I want less!"

"Uncle Shi, my nephew has already dug out his heart!"
