Those who eat qi, live long life

Chapter 13
On the selection field, gongs and drums were loud.

Guarding Huang Gang, he was also extremely concerned about Huang Tianhua's selection of soldiers, and mobilized manpower and material resources to issue a notice throughout Jinxi Town.

On this day, not only the qualified teenagers belonging to the town guard's mansion, but also all over Jinxi Town, some qualified gentry, country gentry, and poor parents who hoped for their children to become a success, also brought their nephews to participate in the selection.

On the selection field, there was a sea of ​​people, and outside the selection field, there were also crowds of people rubbing shoulders.

Ding Niu looked calm, followed the flow of people, and passed through the test levels: family background, strength, physique, true energy...

Family background investigation: The farm servant of the town guard mansion has an innocent family background.

Easy pass.

Strength test: open bow, katana, and throwing stones.

The open bow is divided into three items: 48 kg, 60 kg and 72 kg.

The knife weighs 80 jin, 100 jin, and 120 jin, and it must be attached to the chest and back to make flowers.

Lifting the stone is to move the stone, there are 200 catties, 250 catties and 300 catties. During the test, the stone is lifted from the ground, at least at knee height, and it can be as high as the chest.

It seems to be a test of strength, but it is actually a test of true energy level.

If there is a young man who is born with infinite strength and extraordinary talent, even if his true energy is slightly inferior, he can still pass the test.

Strength is the first item, which is the foundation, and the next item is the extra points for outstanding bow and horse proficiency.

Shoot the target with a 60-kilogram bow at a distance of 72 steps, and then shoot arrows on horseback to hit the target.

A series of selection criteria were carried out in accordance with Zhao Guo's selection criteria for martial arts candidates. Huang Tianhua's goals and standards for the selection of soldiers can be seen.

The national election is to select scholars for the country, but Huang Tianhua's move is to select servants for himself.

This kind of wild and rebellious behavior is a huge arrogance. If it reaches the ears of Zhao Guoguo, it may be another storm, but Huang Tianhua doesn't care.

And Huang Gang is not worried, in Jinxi Town, he covers the sky with one hand, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, he is the king!
Ding Niu's series of tests were all about hiding his strength. Several tests were mediocre. Judging by his age, he was only at the middle or lower level. It is expected that Huang Tianhua has high eyesight, so he will never look down on him, nor will he notice him. .

Today, all the relatives and talents from all over the world in Jinxi Town came to participate in the selection. The whole Jinxi Town was busier than usual, and the scene was chaotic. It was the best time to fish in troubled waters and escape from here.

Usually, you have to work in an area, and there are small stewards to patrol. There is no such a good opportunity as today, and it is very difficult to escape the daily chores, order, and respond to supervision.

If you run away, you will be discovered within an hour or three quarters.

But today there is a lot of time, and Ding Niu will take advantage of this day to escape the golden cicada from its shell.

He left halfway, and the other teenagers were very nervous about their performance, preparing and worrying, and no one noticed that Ding Niu slipped away halfway.

Ding Niu changed out of the clothes of the town guard and put on a set of prepared linen clothes. With this attire, he became a simple and unpretentious peasant boy.

Covering his face and wiping his tears, with a painful look, he tricked the soldiers guarding the martial arts field in the town guard mansion into thinking that he was a frustrated young man who had failed the election, and let him go without any suspicion.

When it comes out, it's like the sea and the sky.

In normal times, when entering and exiting Jinxi Town and various checkpoints in Zhao State, and leaving the territory for a hundred miles, you still need to check the roads. If there are no gangsters, refugees, or spies, the guards in the checkpoints can arrest him on the spot and imprison him.

Soldiers are charged with desertion, and civilians are charged with smuggling. The lightest of smuggling is eighty battles.

Without an identity, Lu Yin, even if he escaped from Jinxi Town, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to walk an inch.

Ding Niu is also a Qi trainer at any rate, so he doesn't have such worries, besides, he can walk by water.

Ding Niu ran to the outskirts of Jinxi Town, plunged headlong into the Zhao Hanjiang River, put on a fish scale armor, pinned water thorns, found the cave where the pearl rice was hidden before, and rolled all the pearl rice inside into the Huangliang picture.

That's not all, he went upstream and sneaked into Liangjiaao through Zhao Hanhe.

At this time, Liangjiaao has been completely sealed off, and the people who stay here are the people who manage the barn.

After this year's harvest, the pearl rice will be put into the warehouse after being demixed and screened, and then distributed, deployed, and shipped to the rich and powerful mansions and fairy mountains that need to be managed.

At this time, Huang Tianhua's selection office was bustling with activity, most of the guard's attention was there, guarding Huang Gang was also defending his eldest son, and it was Huang Gang's confidant who managed the Liangjiaao. Mr. Mei, the chief steward of the tutelary mansion.

Mr. Mei has an overview of the overall situation, and is calculating the specific output of pearl rice this year based on the reports from the following parties.

After a while, I became happy.

The daily operation of the guard mansion, the salaries and rewards of the guards, the consumption of daily training, the maintenance of contacts, the opening up of relationships...all kinds of things require money everywhere. worry.

His cultivation base is advanced, he is at the second rank of true qi, and he is in his prime, but his hair has gradually turned gray, and he really consumes too much energy.

Of course, he is also in control of the power, which makes him fascinated, and all the hard work will be rewarded.

This year's pearl rice harvest is bumper, 8000 shi more than the previous estimate of 500 shi, and the extra 500 shi is a big deal. At least he has a lot more money to spend this year.

Both public and private are beneficial.

While Mr. Mei breathed a sigh of relief, he also exhausted his brains for the allocation of pearl rice for the rest of this year.

The eldest son asked for 4000 shi, and the guardian has already agreed, so the next distribution cannot follow last year's rules. If you don't want many relationships to be bad, then you have to use the inventory from previous years.

But Mr. Mei can only do his best to maintain the situation.

However, if the Eldest Young Master becomes a true heir in Xieyue Mountain and becomes a powerful backer, all of this will be worth it.

He rubbed his head, casually picked up a piece of pastry made of pearl rice and put it in his mouth, it melted in his mouth, his mouth was full of fragrance, and he was immediately refreshed.

With his position in the tutelary mansion, he can eat pearl rice at will, and thanks to the pearl rice tonic, he can always maintain his energy in the endless tedious work, and he will always appear energetic.

Mr. Mei's heart moved, and he found his confidant:

"Go, this batch of pearl rice, transport 10 shi to Tao's house in Shicun."

The confidant understands that the Tao family in Shicun is Mr. Mei's concubine, who gave birth to a precious son many years ago, who was also fed with pearl rice.

After Mr. Mei finished his private work, he got busy with his business. Putting pearl rice into the warehouse is the biggest thing at present.

But don't worry, this is not the first time this has been done. In previous years, Mr. Mei presided over it. He is very experienced, and he issued every order and released it. He has his own subordinates to manage everything in an orderly manner.

The servants and government soldiers who are busy here are busy in various places in Liangjiaao. The selected pearl rice is dried in the sun, divided into special grades, first grades, and various grades, and then loaded into cars and transported to the barn one by one. , Stored in separate warehouses.

The flow of people in the valley is like a river rushing to the barn, returning and continuing, mixed and orderly.

Ding Niu emerged from the Zhao Han River and found a chance to go ashore.

Two days ago, he came here to investigate.

Ding Niu was already very familiar with this place. He was a bold man with high skills. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he mixed into the crowd to help, and then took advantage of the chaos to sneak into a grain truck like a fish. After that, pearl rice kept falling down, killing him. Press down tightly.

"Hi yo! Hi yo!"

This grain truck was fully loaded, and several soldiers with strong zhenqi pumped their zhenqi together, and pulled the huge thing to the barn.

After going through a series of inspections, the body was verified, and then the grain truck was inspected.

Ding Niu hid at the bottom, using the Iron Corpse Qi, silently, without any signs of life, and was able to escape the detection of vitality by the guards who swept several times of true energy.

After passing through safely, a group of people entered the barn.

Then, like opening the gate to release water, open the gate under the grain transport vehicle, the government soldiers pull the lever device of the grain transport vehicle, forcefully pull up a corner of the grain container, and pour all the pearl rice in the grain transport vehicle into the grain sea. .

Ding Niu used his swimming skills and fell together with the flowing pearl rice, like a loach drilling a hole, quietly burrowing into the grain sea and hiding.

Ding Niu waited for several days until all the pearl rice was in storage.

On a dark and windy night, he tore open the map of Huangliang, and sucked in the sea of ​​grain.

One stone, two stones, three stones...

One warehouse, two warehouses...

Ding Niu's cultivation is not deep, if he reaches a high place, he can pick up the yellow beam map and roll it with his hand, and even a mountain will be swept away, and it is easy to empty the rice warehouse with a wave of his hand.

But now, a little bit more.

In the Huangliang map, at the foot of Xieyue Peak and at the edge of the Juling Array, it rained heavily, pearl rice slanted down like rain, and piled up into a mountain of rice in the blink of an eye.

One pile, two piles, gathered into mountains of rice, one, two...

The aura is pervasive, and the first to be discovered are birds and beasts with keen senses.

Birds and beasts found out, heard the abnormal situation, and came quickly. They looked at the heavy rain of pearl rice and the mountains of rice, salivating and eager to see through.

Ding Niu was very generous: "Come in spring and take me a grain of grain, and come in autumn and give me two grains of grain."

Those birds and beasts screamed for joy, came forward to devour, carry, and brought these pearl rice to various places in Huangliangtu to sow and cultivate.

Lao Niu came to help first, and then came with his Taoist boys. Everyone ate the cow and chewed, so happy, they jumped for joy:
"Aura! Spirit food!"

Eat some, carry some, and use them as rice seeds.

Lao Niu took the Taoist boys away.

After hearing the news, more creatures in Huangliangtu came to ask for rice seeds.

All comers are welcome.

The rules are set: take one pill, pay back two pills, low-interest loan.

Huangliang rice is the foundation of the Huangliang Immortal Sect's true cultivation method, and it cannot be passed on to outsiders, but pearl rice has no such concerns. If this wave of rice seeds is divided, the entire world in Huangliangtu will benefit a lot.

8000 shi, it’s not too much, it’s not too much, although Ding Niu’s sucking is not slow, but the rice warehouse is divided into areas, he dare not make too much noise, he acts timidly, and it is difficult to remove all of them overnight.

Seeing that each barn was sucked up in different ways, and the time was about the same, Ding Niu stopped, took out the prepared kindling material and Huangliang wine, put some in various places in the barn, and sprinkled Huangliang wine.

The aroma of the wine is overflowing, and the aura is tangy. Huangliang wine is not easy to brew, and it is very precious.

The spirit of this wine is profound, and it burns fiercely and quickly, stronger than fire oil, and it is difficult to extinguish.

Ding Niu found a good position and lit a fire.

In just a moment, the entire barn was on fire, and the fire was fast and violent.

Almost immediately, the guards on duty in the barn discovered the anomaly and rushed into the barn to put out the fire.

However, after a while, he ran out in disgrace.

The fire was too strange and fierce, and within a short period of time, it became a sweeping trend.

"... It's flooded! Hurry up and put out the fire!"

The whole Liangjiawa was in chaos.
