Chapter 9: The Cultivator (II)
After the worship of the monarch and the minister, Wang Shoutian looked at it and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I saw that after the ceremony, a stream of white gas descended on Xue Yuan's body, and in a moment, half of the gray qi on Xue Yuan's body had been washed away, and the natal qi in the center was also active, and a trace of white qi lingered.
But almost at the same time, the white qi in Wang Shoutian's golden seal suddenly dropped significantly.
Wang Shoutian said: "Mr. Xue is an official, but he can invite a number of wardens and officials, etc., the scale of the military tun in Jishui County is not large, and the number of people cannot be many, but if Mr. Xue thinks that he is a talent, he can not ignore the number limit." ”
This means that if there is talent, please come.
As for whether it consumes more gas, but I can't take care of it, anyway, no matter how low it is, it can't be lower than the basic pattern of eight grades.
It's the same as business on earth, there is investment to pay off!
When Xue Yuan heard this, he immediately understood, and said: "No, don't worry, the lord is not worried, I am familiar with this county, and I will share the worries of the lord." ”
After saying for a while, Wang Shoutian also said goodbye, and when he saw Xue Yuan going out to salute, he raised his hand to return the salute, and the ox cart went all the way.
Wang Shoutian leaned against the back of the ox cart, slightly bumpy all the way, but his heart was tumbling.
Mr. Tian turned out to be a Qi Refiner, which was really unexpected.
Xue Yuan waited for Wang Shoutian to go away, and only walked in until he couldn't see it.
When they got inside, Xue's mother and his wife had already gathered together, and Xue Yuan was about to hand over the silver to Xue's mother to open it and look at it.
This envelope of silver, the outer bread is a paper seal, after tearing it, you can see the silver, although it is the sunset, but it has not yet fallen, the silver light is shining.
Five taels and one ingot, a total of ten.
Xue Yuan took out one and handed it to Xue's mother: "Mother, you have paid off all the original debts of my family." ”
Xue Mu looked at it and said, "My family only owes three thousand five hundred and forty Wen, so I don't need so much." ”
"There are still some things that should be lost, if they can be redeemed, just redeem them, if they can't, forget it, it's not worth entanglement, mother, you just take it!"
He gave another ingot to his wife: "Ku Niang, you have followed me for almost ten years, this ingot of silver, you buy me some clothes, buy some meat, and give the child some food!"
Then he said, "The lord asked me to recruit other subordinates, and I thought to myself, there are several candidates, but most of them are poor, and they all need silver, and I will use these three ingots, and I will use the rest." ”
Ku Niang whispered, but she looked at the silver reluctantly, this is also human nature, Xue Yuan himself is like this, let alone her?
Xue Yuan closed his eyes and was stunned for a moment.
The winter has arrived, the cold wind has changed, there is no winter clothes at home, and there is no food to wrap the abdomen, as a man, my heart is really like a knife, and the New Year is coming, and the debt collection is going to the door, it is really desperate.
I don't want to finally turn the corner now.
After being stunned for a while, Xue Yuan said in a low voice: "Since the lord has given him food, let's have a meal!"
The specially lit oil lamp emits a soft light, and the family kneels on the mat and eats these four dishes.
Although the Xue family is poor, they are very polite, but at this time, although they sit upright, chew slowly, and try not to make a sound, the family did not have much time to eat the meal.
Xue Mu looked at this scene and couldn't help but be stupid, how much time, there was no such day?
Wang Shoutian's ox cart had already arrived at the door of his house at this time, and when he was still some distance from the door of his house, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of his house.
Could it be this Zhang Lichang again?
Wang Shoutian didn't move much, he sat in the ox cart, and the ox cart came close in a few clicks, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Qing at a glance, and with him, there was a young man with whip marks on his face, it was Zhang Qingyun, the son of Zhang Qing, the chief of the town.
Behind them, there were several servants with some gifts in their hands, and in front of them was the Wang clan accompanied by He Gui.
"Master Zhang, why are you here?" As soon as the ox cart stopped, Wang Shoutian said coldly.
"Lord Wang, in front of you, I dare not call you an adult. Zhang Qing wore the official uniform of the lieutenant and bowed deeply: "The previous things are all the fault of the child, please raise your noble hand!"
"Also, I heard that you have been awarded the rank of Captain of the Eight Grades of Guoyi, as well as the Captain of the Eight Grades of Dian Nong, which can be described as both civil and military, which is gratifying! Zhang Qing said.
In public, the patriarch of the Zhang family, who controls the township, actually apologized to a junior, which made many people on the scene stunned.
Wang Shoutian frowned and looked at Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing, as the head of the village, seems to be out of the stream, but in fact he is the head of the township in later generations, controlling thousands of people in the township, and his authority is not small, but because the imperial court does not want the local tyrants to sit big, there is no grade.
In addition, this person built Zhangjiawu Fort, Wang Shoutian has seen, this Dock Fort is often surrounded by deep ditches and high walls, the internal houses are adjacent, and the four corners and the center are built with another tower and high-rise buildings, which is really very tight, and there are hundreds of private soldiers of the Zhang family.
This person actually bowed his head, which showed that this person's energy was not small, and he could actually know some news, although these news were not particularly covered up.
While he was pondering, Wang spoke.
She was not happy in her heart, but the other party did this, it was already very embarrassing, she didn't want to give the villagers a mean impression, Wang said lightly: "Tian'er!"
With just one title, Wang Shoutian understood his mother's thoughts, he glanced at Zhang Qing and changed his plan: "Lord Zhang specially came to congratulate, how can I not accept it, Lao Xu, accept it!"
"As for me and Ling Lang, it's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning, it's over in the past!"
Seeing this, Zhang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and asked his son to apologize to Wang Shoutian in public, and then pulled his son away.
"Father, why?" Zhang Qingyun roared a little away.
But before he could continue, he only stopped with a "snap", and a slap came up, only to hear Zhang Qing roaring: "Shut up, you rebel." ”
As he spoke, he lowered his voice again: "This is one of the three nephews selected by Dashuai, and he may be the envoy of the festival in the future!"
Although this news is circulating in the upper echelons, the actual lower echelons are not very clear, and this is also the news that I inquired about from my superiors.
"Ah!" Zhang Qingyun was shocked when he heard the news, and the next moment, a jealousy that could not be concealed almost rushed out of his chest: "...... However, it doesn't have to be!"
"Slap" was another slap, and below was Zhang Qing's hideous expression: "You listen to me, I understand your thoughts very well, don't cause trouble for the Zhang family - I'm not the only son of you!"
This cold and even murderous words were inserted into Zhang Qingyun's heart like a sword, making him almost thunder and unable to believe his ears.
"If he can't be it, you can do whatever you want in the future, but before, a third, we can't afford to gamble, do you understand?" Zhang Qing also felt that his words were too heavy, slowed down a little and said, and said to the left and right: "You all hear clearly, show me the young master during this time!"
"No!" These are the veterans who followed him, and they all know that the surname is serious, so they immediately agreed.
Mr. Tian's private school
At this time, all the students had dispersed, and Tian Ji was studying in the study upstairs.
The feudal towns were divided, the fighting was non-stop, and the scrolls on the upper floor of Tian Ji were only more than 1,000 volumes on the shelves.
Tian Ji is unfolding a volume, all of which are hand-copied, all of them are only the size of a thumb cover, the handwriting is extremely neat, and he is reading, and a middle-aged beautiful woman comes below, but it is Tian Ji's junior sister and his wife.
"Wang Shoutian is here today?" This woman looks to be about thirty, her skin is like snow, and she is faintly shining with crystalline light.
"Yes, according to the instructions of the real person, Wang Shoutian's luck, that is, it has risen in the past few years, and it is not uncommon to take advantage of the situation, but it is rare for him to find me and want to accept my two apprentices. ”
"You didn't give it to him, did you?"
"This is natural, this is all for the future of the hidden dragon, what kind of person is he, Wang Shoutian, at best, he is a pioneer who opens the way for the hidden dragon, how can he dare to ask me for these two sons?" Tian Ji shook his head and said.
"Well, you're almost a lawyer now, right?" This beautiful woman also knew that Tian Ji had not only been cultivating here for more than ten years, but also wanted to use Qi Shu to say: "Painstakingly cultivate the two, as long as you send them to the hidden dragon, you can break through, right?"
"yes, I've been waiting for more than ten years. ”
"If the hidden dragon gains power, I am afraid that it can go further, if the hidden dragon can become the son of heaven...... You can become a national teacher. The beautiful woman's eyes lit up and she said.
"The heavens are mysterious, the dragons and snakes are confused, no matter who it is, it is impossible to measure the belonging of the Son of Heaven, and it is already the work of real people to know the location of the hidden dragons on the earth...... I can only say one day, cultivate into a real person, die immortal, and be satisfied. Tian Ji shook his head and sighed and said.
In this world, qi refiners are divided into mages, high merits, precept lawyers, refiners, real people, and national teachers.
The mage, who has the Dharma as the teacher, among the qi refiners, has obtained a true dharma, and after laying the foundation, he is the mage, and he has been able to summon the gods and do small rituals.
High merit, after cultivating the true Dharma, gradually attains its true element, is full of morality, and is equipped with prestige, and is a person who can preside over large-scale Dharma affairs for high merit.
If the precept lawyer becomes a precept by himself, he can teach a person a teacher, that is to say, a person who can accept disciples and teach the precepts to determine the qualifications of a teacher
Refiner, proficient in the method of internal refining, from a human to an immortal
Real person: A person who has achieved internal refining, is immortal, and is ranked in the immortal class, but has not been blessed by the fortune of the dynasty
National Teacher: A real person who has been blessed by the fortune of the dynasty
Seeing that the beautiful woman was silent, Tian Ji even said: "The evolution of the hidden dragon of the heavenly machine has protection, and the refiner is not allowed to interfere at will, there are more than ten hidden dragons on the earth, and there is also a difference in severity...... In order to predict the heavenly opportunity, the real person of our door was punished by heaven, and he had cut off the immortal industry, and I waited for the master to prepare in advance, and moved in as an ordinary person, and only after three years did I start to cultivate the Fa, and I was barely able to start, and for more than ten years, I trembled like walking on thin ice, and I was able to arrange a few secret hands......
"Although the sky is uncertain, the hidden dragon in Shu has the hope of the world, but there are few, I only ask the hidden dragon in Shu to be the king, by its luck, can help the master of the door, then will be the rapid retreat, not greedy for the great cause!"
"Of course, before, destruction must not be allowed - of course Wang Shoutian can't either!" Speaking of this, Tian Ji's eyes turned gloomy, and the cold air gradually grew.
