Chapter 31: Back to the Mountain
Boom, boom, boom......
Bai Xiaojian guarded the gate, and used the thunderbolt charm to continuously release one thunderbolt after another, and it didn't take long to eliminate more than 30 ambush corpses.
However, at this time, there were still seven or eight corpses left, and they had already walked in front of Bai Xiaojian, and the cooldown time of the thunderbolt charm had not yet passed.
Bai Xiaojian directly casts the first form of the evil sword spectrum - flying birds into the forest.
Whoosh!
The sword light flickered, and the cold light was dotted, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, and more than 20 swords were stabbed out in an instant, hitting the hearts, eyebrows and other vital parts of the six corpses in front of them.
Puff pass! puff pass......
The six corpses immediately fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they quickly turned into white bones.
The remaining two corpses were about to pounce forward, but they were directly knocked to the ground with a thunderbolt from Bai Xiaojian, and the other was killed by the evil sword at will.
Bai Xiaojian sighed lightly, this time he killed a total of 38 corpses, but it was easy and there was no danger, but he only gained 38 merits.
Seeing a large pile of white bones on the ground, Bai Xiaojian did not enter the Jiang family's ancestral house, lest there be other strange things inside.
So he slowly retreated, and after confirming that there was no danger, he turned around and left the backyard to join Xie Xianling and the five disciples.
Xie Xian Ling saw Bai Xiaojian come out unscathed, and immediately showed admiration: "The real person's magic is superb, and he subdued the demons and monsters inside in a short period of time, and this official really admires it." ”
A group of disciples also stepped forward to compliment and praise him, and at the same time strengthened their determination to go up the mountain to practice and learn the Tao with Xiaojian.
Bai Xiaojian returned the sword into the sheath, and said with an indifferent smile: "There are only some remnant souls and corpses, and the poor road can be eliminated at will, Xie County Order, this time your government can rest assured to raid the Jiang Mansion." ”
Xie County's order immediately issued an order and ordered all the officials to seize all the property of Jiang Mansion!
A quarter of an hour later, more than a dozen boxes of belongings piled up in the front yard of Jiang's mansion.
A scholar dressed as a master walked up to Xie Xianling with an account book and opened the account book for him to see.
Xie Xian Ling said with a smile: "Yes, there is so much property, it seems that this Jiang family must have done a lot of illegal things secretly." ”
Bai Xiaojian glanced at the account book, and found that it was written on it, and the Jiang Mansion's property totaled one hundred and three thousand six hundred and fifty-two taels of silver!
So he coughed lightly twice.
Xie Xianling's eyes moved, and he suddenly stroked his beard and said: "This time, thanks to the real person's action, otherwise no matter how many officials we come, we won't be able to raid the Jiang Mansion, so this official decided to give the real person a reward of 10,000 taels of silver." ”
Although Bai Xiaojian had expected it, he didn't expect Xie Xianling to be so generous.
After this incident, the group immediately returned to the backyard of the county government, and after some greetings, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Bai Xiaojian called six disciples.
First of all, he instructed his disciple Wang Cong: "Apprentice, inform your father and other craftsmen to come to Juxianglou for dinner at noon." ”
Wang Cong said: "Okay, Master, the disciple will go home immediately." ”
Bai Xiaojian then said to the three brothers and sisters of the Xie family: "You prepare ten grain trucks to transport grain, the grain trucks should not be too wide, you must be able to walk the mountain road, and you must hire a corresponding number of coachmen, and finally purchase ten carts of high-quality rice, and the cost will be deducted from the 10,000 taels of silver awarded to the teacher by Xie County's order, be sure to do these well this morning." ”
Xie Lingli's three siblings immediately nodded and left.
After explaining this, Bai Xiaojian instructed Ning Cheng and Jing Wan again: "You two, purchase a batch of fresh vegetables, meat and cooking utensils, and you must purchase them before noon today." ”
Seeing the group of disciples leaving, Bai Xiaojian immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, clearing distracting thoughts, in order to consolidate the cultivation of the second layer of the Yuan Qi Period.
A few hours passed in a flash, and the disciples returned one after another, and the things they told them had been done.
So Bai Xiaojian led a group of disciples, and after inviting Xie Xianling, the group went to Juxianglou.
As soon as he entered the Juxiang Building, Bai Xiaojian immediately ordered the shopkeeper to set up ten tables of sumptuous banquets, and Wang Sen led a group of construction craftsmen to also arrive.
After a group of people staggered and ate the wine and feast, and after a short rest, they came to the city gate.
On the side of the city gate, a group of drivers waited quietly with ten grain trucks loaded with grain and a trolley loaded with fresh vegetables, meat, and cooking utensils.
After the disciples stepped forward to hand over, the mighty grain convoy immediately followed behind the craftsmen who worshiped Xiaojian's apprentices and Wang Sen, and bid farewell to Fuxian County in the send-off of Xie County's order, and embarked on the way back to the mountain.
However, thanks to Xiaojian's apprentices and the grain convoy, they didn't go far out of the city, and they saw groups of people with yellow faces and ragged clothes, dragging their families and sitting by some big trees.
Some of them dig up the bark, wash it briefly, and put it in an iron pot propped up next to it.
Since Bai Xiaojian had the cultivation of the second layer of the Yuan Qi Period, his eyesight was far beyond ordinary people, and he could see clearly at a glance that there was actually a pot of boiling water in the iron pot, and there were some bark, roots, weeds and other things floating on it.
Beside the iron pot, a pale-faced woman was breastfeeding a child while eating ripe bark and roots.
Seeing this scene, Bai Xiaojian immediately waved his hand and said to everyone behind him: "Stop!"
The whole convoy immediately stopped, and Bai Xiaojian instructed the disciples: "You immediately set up the cooking utensils, then wash the rice, cook it into rice porridge, and give alms to those people." ”
Bai Xiaojian saw that there was no river nearby, so he immediately entered the system item exchange interface and spent 100 points of merit to exchange for a clear water talisman.
This talisman can transform into clear water, and Bai Xiaojian immediately handed over the clear water talisman to Xie Lingli and told him how to use it.
A few minutes later, six disciples and a group of coachmen set up ten large cauldrons in the same place and cooked rice porridge.
Soon, the rice porridge has become sticky in the pot.
Some hungry people smelled the aroma of white rice porridge and gathered around.
Bai Xiaojian immediately said loudly: "Everyone line up and come to receive porridge one by one in order! If there is anyone who cuts the queue, once discovered, they will no longer be able to come to receive porridge!"
Some of the hungry people immediately thanked Dade for worshipping Xiaojian.
As groups of hungry people received rice porridge and devoured it into their stomachs, Bai Xiaojian's mind kept coming to the system's prompts:
"Relief for the hungry and get a little merit. ”
"Relief for the hungry and get a little merit. ”
......
It took more than two hours for the tips to subside.
Bai Xiaojian closed his eyes and contemplated, meditating on the fairy sword master system, and instantly entered the item exchange interface.
On the exchange interface, the current merit point is written: 8761.
Worship Xiaojian standing quietly in place, the body and mind are incomparably smooth, unconsciously, actually to the "Tao Te Ching" engraved in the heart, a trace of understanding: virtue is the food of cultivation, cultivation is not cultivated, such as an empty pot boiling water, in the end it is just an empty, virtue is not matched, then the road of cultivation is full of obstacles, and finally the cultivation is stagnant, or the practice gradually enters the devil's way, the more narrow-minded the mind becomes, becoming selfish, the cultivation is no longer immortal, but the devil.
At this time, Xie Lingli walked up to Bai Xiaojian and reported: "Master, there were originally ten carts of rice, but now there are only five carts of rice left. ”
Bai Xiaojian immediately took out three thousand taels of silver tickets, handed them to Xie Lingli and said, "You, Xie Feng, and Xie Ting escorted five grain carts, and immediately returned to the city to purchase five carts of rice." ”
"Go ahead and do it at once. Xie Lingli took the silver ticket and left in a hurry.
Thousands of hungry people gathered outside the convoy, and although they received rice porridge and postponed food and clothing, they refused to leave the convoy again.
