red man

Chapter 407
Jinjiaodi has now formed a large-scale market. Of course, it is unavoidable. After the collapse of Dachao Prefecture, the people who saved themselves joined together to help each other, and ghosts appeared, gradually forming a rather special social structure.

If there is no divine apparition, the epidemic and turmoil after the catastrophe are inevitable.

Everyone wants to survive. Based on this bottom line requirement, people can quickly degenerate into beasts.

The existence of Wei Hao, through his violence, maintained the peace of the "Chaohu Era" after Dachaozhou.

Fish markets, grain stations, teahouses... also gradually formed.

And because of the differences of various "family protection demons", for example, there are many silkworm mothers in Zhinv's family, so the efficiency of weaving and reeling is also greatly improved, so the division of labor between local workers and peasants is more refined.

In addition, the Bai family's savings are extremely rich compared to ordinary people. Wei Hao guarantees that the Bai family will contribute. This is the confidence to rebuild the lakeside people in the "Chaohu Era".

Therefore, people who survived the catastrophe know that there are elves and ghosts in this world, and they recognize some of them as good.

At the same time, they also understood that without Wei Hao, it would be impossible for these "Family Protection Demon Immortals" to appear in front of people.

The heart of awe is not the heart of fear. Although the external performance is not bad, it is actually very different.

"My 'Luoshui Sword Sect' is an orthodox sword sect, not an ordinary evil cultivator. I came to Chaohu Lake just to buy a 'Wu Qingyu Stone'. Please forgive me."

There is a tea shop with the word "tea" hanging on it. The shop is not big, but it is clean and tidy. In addition to the ordinary tea soup, there are also many other fragrant teas. It adds a pavilion and elegant room, so I like the spring breeze of the lake. Yake went alone for entertainment.

Going down from the pavilion is the bluestone steps, leading all the way to the water of Chaohu Lake. The underwater steps can be clearly seen, with fish and shrimps playing and snails flocking on it. In late spring, a large number of ducks are also gathered together.

It's just that not everyone wants to appreciate the beautiful scenery on a good day. Not everywhere in the world is like Chaohu Lake, which can be rebuilt after a catastrophe, and even order can be restored, even without the support of the national fortune.

"It's not that my girl doesn't show affection, it's because you don't have any flying knives, two peach charms, and three letters or letters. How can you break the rules?"

Wearing a jasper hairpin on her head, wearing a green dress and holding a precious sword, she has a heroic aura, and she is completely unworthy of a woman.

Xiaoqing was neither humble nor overbearing, and well-founded: "Since you are the orthodox sect of Taoism, you should know that the world is in turmoil, and the peace of this Chaohu Lake is hard-won. Snakes can't do without a head, and people can't stand if they don't believe it. There are hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of elves around Chaohu Lake. , It all depends on unity and solidarity to have a place to stand, and it all depends on keeping promises and obeying the rules. Breaking an exception once is a small matter, breaking the rules is a big matter. I also ask you good people to be more tolerant."

Although the few sword cultivators were upset, they didn't make any mistakes, because when they arrived at the tea shop, there were many village warriors with guns and sticks on guard from afar.

Ordinary people who were afraid of monsters in the past are now full of blood and have high fighting spirit.

After all, only when you have lost it can you understand the hard-won today.

Relying on the sky and the earth, relying on the father and mother, it is better to rely on yourself.

Everywhere in Chaohu Lake is a village, and guarding Chaohu Lake is guarding home.

The village braves naturally understand these principles.

In the past, the swordsmen regarded the rural reckless people as worthless, but seeing the local atmosphere, they knew it was different from other places, so full of blood, ten people were like fire, a hundred people were like disasters, and thousands of people were not invaded by ghosts and gods.

Sword Immortal leapfrogging the enemy is like killing a chicken, but with this level of power, it seems to be trapped in the enemy's camp. He has a body of shocking supernatural powers, and being able to summon five or six points is already a fortitude and a profound cultivation.

That feeling, as if completely suppressed by the national destiny.

"Ugh……"

A sword cultivator of the Luoshui Sword Sect clasped his hands together, "It is true that I heard that the comrades of the 'Jingwei Sword League' went to the Chaohu Dragon Palace. Wife forgive me."

Seeing the other party's politeness, Xiaoqing returned the courtesy and said: "If you are not in a hurry, you can just stay in Chaohu Lake for a while. If the local elves approve, I will guarantee that it will not be difficult to go to the Dragon Palace."

"what?"

The sword cultivator was taken aback, "The local people, can't everyone go to the Dragon Palace?"

Xiaoqing shook her head: "What did the Taoist priest say? To mortals, the beautiful land of the Dragon Palace can be described as 'the void cannot be repaired', and the great repair is the injury. The mortal body without any cultivation is just a disaster. them."

"Uh... I'm confused."

Embarrassed and impatient, the sword cultivator forgot common sense.

However, after hearing Xiaoqing's words, Jianxiu admired him even more. Firstly, he admired the Dragon Lord of Chaohu Lake, and secondly, he admired the people of Chaohu Lake.

The former is big-minded and willing to be convenient for others; the latter is big-minded, knowing that he can't go there, but willing to help others go there.

Thinking about it, Jianxiu felt that with his own character, if he wanted to go to the Dragon Palace, he could only help others to go, but if he couldn't go by himself, he would only feel jealous, and in the end he would hurt others and not benefit himself.

"The feng shui here will definitely be 'Feng Heng Yu Da'!"

Xiao Qing was taken aback by Jianxiu's words, before Xiao Qing could speak, Bai Xing said from behind, "I dare not take such praise, it is a blessing to have peace for a while."

Others are humble, and most of them are also qualified for this.

But Bai Xing's elder brother is Chaohu Dragon Lord, and the fiancé-in-law in the eyes of the people at that time is "Red Hero Juren" Wei Hao. She said a few words of modesty on behalf of Chaohu people and gods, and there is nothing too much about it.

"We already know the laws of Chaohu, and we will abide by them."

The sword cultivator of the Luoshui Sword School saluted sincerely, and then said, "Bai Niangzi, if you bother me so much, I will take my leave."

Afterwards, these sword cultivators left the tea shop.

After walking far away, the few sword cultivators who were still a little bit upset said: "Brother, this lake god has not been granted the title of the king of heaven, and it is said that he worshiped evil gods..."

"shut up!"

The elder brother raised his eyebrows angrily, and shouted, "You guys are so arrogant in cultivating in the sect, you can even say such nonsense! No matter how great the bestowal of the heavenly king is, it is not as great as the will of the people, understand?"

The elder brother with a broad epee on his back looked back at the teahouse and the pavilion, and sighed, "All the way, the shore of Chaohu Lake is already the most peaceful boundary we have seen. Although there are many more demon spirits, this relationship between man and nature harmony, such as I have seen in my life."

"The monsters are enlightened, the good ones are kept, the bad ones are killed, and that's all."

"I used to think like you, but when I came here, I remembered the story of the Nanmang Sword Sect, and I became more enlightened. Ten years ago, I was protecting the city and the country everywhere. I was waiting for the rivers and lakes. It takes thirty miles to walk on the ground. Speaking of which, there are more days when you walk around the rivers and lakes with your sword."

"Eldest brother, now that the fortune of the country is declining, isn't it a good time for me to cultivate!"

"Oh?"

The senior brother looked at the fellow apprentices, "You guys never thought about it, why? Why is it that after we cultivated, we are obviously supernatural and far superior to ordinary people, but we are limited by the oppression of the national destiny. Not much difference."

"Heroes use martial arts to violate the rules, the rules set by King Dayu."

"So, you know it's the rule. Haven't you thought about breaking the rule? Or trying?"

"Who hasn't thought about it, who hasn't tried it, isn't it useless, if it is not recognized by Xia Ting, the fate of the country is like a mountain to suppress mana..."

"That is to say, it's because I'm not strong enough in cultivation, so I abide by the rules, isn't it?"

"Yes……"

The stubborn junior brother actually already understood what the senior brother meant, but he was still a little upset. After all, now that the national fortune is declining, it should be a good time for them to run rampant in the world.

"The rules of Chaohu Lake are there. As long as you have the confidence and ability to defeat Chaohu Dragon God and Wei Chixia, you can ignore the rules."

After that, the senior brother looked at these unconvinced juniors and juniors, "Think about the Nanmang Sword Sect, maybe they think it's a good time just like you, thinking that they can underestimate the world and treat ordinary people like nothing. But they met Wei Chixia, even if they are descendants of Ren Zu, Wei Chixia can still kill them."

"We are better than Nanmang Sword Sect..."

"How strong can it be?"

Shaking his head, the elder brother didn't explain any more. There are some reasons, as long as it makes sense, it's fine. If the other party understands or pretends not to understand, he has done his best.

The elder brother who walked forward with a sword in his hand ignored the sophistry of his juniors, and said as he walked: "Now Xiayi has issued a 'seeking talents' edict', and anyone with supernatural powers can be appointed as an official. If you don't want to waste time here in Chaohu Today, it’s okay to take a shortcut to Xiayi.”

"Eldest brother not going?"

"I want to accumulate meritorious deeds here, and after getting the approval of the neighbors, I will go to Chaohu Dragon Palace to find the 'Wu Qingyu Stone'."

"Why bother. Eldest brother, there is no reason to hang yourself from a tree. There are rivers and lakes in the world, and this Chaohu lake is newly formed, and they don't have much background. Why should you look at their faces?"

"My practice is like this."

After finishing speaking, the senior brother took out a few letters from his pocket, "The disciples of this school also have some friendship in the court. With this letter, seeing the letter is like face to face. It is not a big problem for you to be mages and generals."

Suddenly, a junior sister said: "Eldest brother, if the imperial court crusade against Chaohu in the future, what should the elder brother do?"

"That……"

The elder brother was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hand and patted the broad epee behind him, and said with a smile, "Then it depends on the skills of the younger brothers and sisters, whether they have neglected to practice on weekdays."

"Ah?! Eldest brother would rather kill each other?"

"This is also practice."

The elder brother smiled and said, "Don't ask about the future, take care of each other."

With a laugh, the senior brother stopped talking, but found a toothbrow in the "Golden Jiaodi" and stepped in.

This Yalang is called "Dragon Well Yahang". Yalang's dress is no different from that of the local people, and his accent is exactly the same, but the senior brother knows that these Yalang are not human, but dragons.

Before entering the door, I saw the "red man statues" on the left and right sides of the gate. The typical "eyes but no bead" Wei Chixia sounded like a curse, but no one dared to give them casual eye contact.

Entering, the busy Yalang all looked at the elder brother, and one who was free came over and cupped his hands and said, "Is the Taoist renting a house or what?"

"I'm a swordsman, and I want to find a job to slay demons. I don't know if there are monsters nearby? I can kill them."

"'Bajiao Nian' has a centipede spirit from outside. It is a big monster with a cultivation base of 700 years. Can the Taoist priest kill it?"

"This centipede is doing all kinds of evil?"

"It has been cannibalized for fifteen, sixty-seven, but it has hidden supernatural powers. It is not good for the aquatic people among the rocks and rubble."

"If so, I can take it."

After all, senior brother Dao Ming's identity is the contemporary senior senior brother of Luoshui Sword Sect, with a cultivation base of 20 years.

Hearing that this person has cultivated for 20 years, the Yalang in "Longjing Yaxing" all nodded their heads. This is how sword repairers are. It doesn't matter if the cultivation base is low, and the strength is quite in place.

It is not uncommon for a sword cultivator with a hundred and twenty years of cultivation to kill a demon king with a thousand years of cultivation.

"Here is the document, sign and mark."

Yalang prepared the contract, and then said, "This centipede spirit is a reward for land reclamation from the villagers of 'Octagonal Grinding', a total of 150 shi of rice."

"Less."

"We don't have much savings for post-disaster reconstruction. In the past, we wouldn't be so shabby."

"Isn't it true that there are not many cultivators who are willing to take pains?"

"It's a blessing to be able to go to Chaohu Dragon Palace to change things."

"So that's the case... I'm afraid it's not the convenience given by the Dragon Lord."

"It's not the idea of ​​the god, but the arrangement of the white lady. After all, there are only so many things that Chaohu can get out of. Now there are only 63 cultivators who are willing to act like this, including the Taoist chief."

"Ah? 62 fellow Taoists have already gone to Chaohu Dragon Palace?"

"There are peach charms and flying knives, of course it is also possible. But there are indeed only 62 of them like Taoist priests."

"This kind of fellow Taoist should get acquainted."

Suddenly, the senior brother of the Luoshui Sword Sect put the contract in place, and said with a smile, "This trip is worthwhile, and I have benefited a lot."

He was about to leave when he saw another young Yalang rushing over and shouting: "Taoist priest, stay here first, I haven't prepared the elixir for condensing Qi and nourishing blood."

"And the pill?"

"If you introduce the work of building bridges and paving roads, of course it is not necessary. Slaying demons and demons is unusual."

"Hahaha...Okay!"

Taking the small bottle from the young Yalang's hand, and opening it, the senior brother of the Luoshui Sword Sect immediately nodded, "Yes, it's a good thing. How much is it?"

"There is no charge for this. I will buy it when I need it on weekdays."

"..."

The elder brother was a little dazed, and then said, "It's really a bit more grand."

"The unjust people don't have this benefit."

Young Yalang pointed to the statue of Chixia in Zhongtang, "But evil thoughts and malice cannot escape the eyes of the 'Chixia Gong'."

The elder brother was stunned, silent for a while, then asked curiously: "You look at the young man, why are you also wandering around the market?"

"I was studying at the 'Shuijingfang' in front of me. In the past, my family was in the water business."

Hearing this, the elder brother immediately understood that the boy in front of him was the son of Jinglong King.

Recalling that this tooth shop is called "Longjing Ya shop", the elder brother guessed that most of the Yalang here are Jinglong King or the descendants of Jinglong King.

The senior brother didn't bother to ask about the story, but when he heard the little dragon studying in the market, he was shocked and admired.

It has been a long time since I left Luoshui that I have felt this kind of fireworks.

It used to be commonplace and commonplace, but I didn't expect it to be so rare.

Arching his hands, the elder brother left with his sword in his hands, put on a bamboo hat, asked where the "Bajiao Mill" was, and went alone.

At this time, Wei Hao walked out of Chaohu Lake, stepped on the steps, and walked into the tea shop.

"Sister Bai, I have recently realized a supernatural power, which is of great benefit to you. I will teach you."

Wei Hao entered the teahouse and said to Bai Xing with a smile.

However, Bai Xing and Xiao Qing stood there in a daze, not looking at Wei Hao at all, but at the second princess sitting on Wei Hao's shoulder.

"Brother Hao, which sister is this?"

"Daddy, is she the eldest lady?"

"..."

"..."
