Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Fucheng is shrouded in mist and rain, with flowers in full bloom, pink peach blossoms and green willows, just like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, or like a brilliant painting, full of poetry.

Early the next morning.

Wang Chao led Chen Biao to Fang's house and asked Fang Shizhong, the director of the Fucheng Salt Tax Bureau, to help support the government office with some money and support Lord Shi in doing some practical things for the people's livelihood. Fang Shizhong enthusiastically served tea and water in person, and was very polite, but he also declined tactfully, saying: "Lord Wang, I have just taken over the Salt Tax Bureau for a short time, and the predecessor did not leave much money. Now, the Salt Tax Bureau's treasury is empty. Please tell Lord Shi that when the Salt Tax Bureau has some money in a while, I will bring some silver to the government office to visit Lord Shi. Lord Shi is a good official who is dedicated to serving the people. I have always admired Lord Shi and hope to listen to Lord Shi's teachings and guidance every day. However, I have just taken office in the Salt Tax Bureau. As the saying goes, a new official has three fires to start with, and I have been busy with official duties. I have not been able to visit Lord Shi in the government office. Please forgive me."

Wang Chao was furious, but he was also like a little sheep. He was rejected by Fang Shizhong. His face was red and he was very embarrassed. He lowered his head to drink tea. He didn't know whether to sit or walk. In addition to being embarrassed, he sighed secretly and regretted coming to Fang's house.

I thought to myself: Oh, that’s difficult!
Fang Shizhong neither gave money nor offended Wang. He was full of polite words, very warm and polite, and flawless. What should I do? Hey! Where can I put my face today?

~~
Chen Biao was tough. He knew that Fang Shizhong had always been holding a grudge against Shi Tianyu and would never give him the silver easily. Seeing Wang Chao being so angry at Fang Shizhong, he just wanted to kick Fang Shizhong to death.

However, now that he had something to ask of Fang Shizhong, he had no choice but to be patient and say nice things.

So, Chen Biao stood up and bowed and said, "Master Fang, although the Salt Tax Bureau is under vertical management, if the money of the Salt Tax Bureau cannot be paid, the final responsibility will still be our Master Shi. Therefore, Master Fang and Master Shi are still one. Now, the government office is temporarily in trouble, so please support the government office and support Master Shi in doing some practical things for the people's livelihood."

Fang Shizhong was an old bureaucrat who knew how to seize opportunities. It was difficult for him to express his opinion, so he kept silent.

This made Chen Biao very embarrassed, and he was in a dilemma as to whether to stand or sit.

Fang Shizhong looked at Chen Biao, who was embarrassed, and felt very proud. He thought to himself: Just because you are a small pawn, you want to fight with me? Humph! You are so ignorant! You are such a piece of shit! Why don't you get out of here quickly?

~~
Wang Chao saw that even one of Chen Biao's soldiers had become tough, so he also cheered up, put aside his pride, clasped his hands, and said, "Master Fang, our Master Shi has proposed 'Shi San Zheng' after 'One Correction, Two Grasps, and Three Repairs' last year. I believe that the area under the jurisdiction of Fucheng will become more and more prosperous, and the taxes collected by the Salt Tax Bureau will also increase. Moreover, the Salt Tax Bureau has always been a lucrative government office. I sincerely ask Master Fang to allocate some money to support the government office."

Fang Shizhong laughed proudly and said, "Haha! You two are joking. Of course, I am one with Master Shi and I respect him very much. But now the treasury of the Salt Administration is empty. Didn't the ancients say that March is the poorest month of April? Maybe in June, the Salt Administration will have some silver left. By then, if there is some silver left in the treasury of the Salt Administration, it will be sent to the treasury of the government office."

He didn't offend Wang Chao and Chen Biao by laughing twice like this, but he just refused to take out the silver.

~~
Chen Biao suppressed his anger, put on a smile, and brought up Shi Tianyu again, saying softly but firmly: "Master Fang, Master Shi must take care of all the government offices at all levels under the jurisdiction of the government office. This was the case when Master Shi was the magistrate of Guxiang County.

This money is not for Lord Shi to spend, but is to be used for Shi Sanzheng and to handle people's livelihood issues. Lord Fang, please think twice!" These words were already threatening.

Fang Shizhong still smiled calmly and said, "Haha! Brother Chen, you are joking. Didn't Brother Chen just say that the Salt Tax Bureau is managed vertically? My official hat is in the hands of my superiors, so of course I have to raise enough money to hand it over to the Ministry of Revenue first."

He laughed dryly twice and spoke in a very friendly manner, but he still dealt with Chen Biao in a reasonable and polite manner and just refused to hand over the silver.

~~
Wang Chao saw this and cursed inwardly in embarrassment: Damn it, how could Shi Tianyu, that bastard, come up with such a crooked idea? Where can I put my face? I am a dignified Tongzhi of Fucheng Prefecture, and my official rank is higher than Fang Shizhong. I came to Fang Mansion in person to pay a visit to Fang Shizhong, but he didn't give me face, which made me very embarrassed! Shi Tianyu, you bastard, why don't you come to Fang Mansion to ask to see Fang Shizhong? Damn it, eh! Today, I really lost all my face.

Seeing that Fang Shizhong refused to give him the money, he felt very embarrassed and cursed Shi Tianyu in his heart for giving him bad advice.

~~
Seeing that neither soft nor hard tactics worked, Chen Biao also started to play dirty, saying, "Master Fang, I can't raise the money, and it's hard to report to Master Shi! Alas! It seems that I dare not go back to the government office to do my job, so I have to stay at Master Fang's house from now on and eat and drink for free."

What this means is that if Fang Shizhong doesn't give him money, Chen Biao will not leave.

~~
Fang Shizhong was not afraid, and laughed again: "Haha! Brother Chen, you are joking. Who doesn't know that Brother Chen is Lord Shi's close confidant? However, the Fang Mansion is quite spacious. Brother Chen, you can stay in my humble abode. I will definitely let the servants accompany Brother Chen to drink, eat and have fun. Oh, by the way, my waist has been hurting badly recently, so I have to go and rest first. Brother Chen, please do as you please."

He was still laughing and did not offend Chen Biao. He ordered his servants to serve Chen Biao and Wang Chao well.

After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.

~~
At this time, the servant of Fang Mansion came to report in a hurry, and said to Fang Shizhong: "Master, for some reason, Jia Weifu, the Supervisor of the Tea and Horse Department, is dancing naked in front of the gate of the Sichuan Inn. He smells of alcohol and seems to be crazy. It may be due to excessive drinking. Now thousands of people are gathered in front of the gate of the Sichuan Inn. Jia Weifu is now in a very ugly state. His family members came to carry him away, but they were scratched and bitten by him. Jia Weifu is now like a mad dog, biting whoever he catches. It is said that even if his illness can be cured, it is estimated that he will lose his position as Supervisor of the Tea and Horse Department."

~~
Fang Shizhong was feeling proud of himself, but he was shocked when he heard that. He trembled all over and the cup in his hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

He screamed again in a trembling voice: "What? What what?"

But I can no longer be proud of myself.

~~
Wang Chao trembled and almost screamed: Lord Shi is so cruel? Great!

No wonder Lord Shi was hiding behind us. That's why.

Wang Chao stood up, danced again, and almost clapped his hands: Lord Shi is still the awesome one!

Chen Biao was shocked when he heard the voice, and thought to himself: Jia Weifu is strong and healthy! Lord Shi disappeared as soon as he left the government office last night. Could it be that Lord Shi personally handled this matter?

~~
Upon hearing the noise, the maids and servants of the Fang residence came in and hurriedly cleaned up the broken pieces of cup on the ground.

Fang Shizhong's nephew, Fang Zhiqiang, who had his legs broken by Hong Liansu at Guxiang County, walked in with difficulty on crutches and asked Fang Shizhong with concern: "Uncle, you? Are you okay?"

He blinked at Fang Shizhong again and nodded, indicating that Fang Shizhong should agree to Wang Chao's request. Saving his life was the most important thing.

Jia Weifu suddenly went crazy. Fang Zhiqiang could figure out what was going on even with his butt.

~~
When Fang Shizhong saw Fang Zhiqiang leaning on a pair of crutches, he was shocked and thought: Before, on the day when Shi Tianyu took office as the prefect of Fucheng, Jia Weifu had contradicted Shi Tianyu in the government court, embarrassing Shi Tianyu on the spot.

There is no way Shi Tianyu would not avenge this grudge.

But how did Jia Wei-fu suddenly go crazy?
Oh, yes, being drunk and crazy must be due to drinking too much.

Getting up drunk early in the morning is definitely not voluntary.

Someone must have grabbed Jia Wei-fu's neck and poured wine into him from a jar.

Hey! I can't follow the footsteps of Wu Zhengdao, Cheng Xiuzhu, and Jia Weifu!

~~
Seeing that he couldn't get the money by using both soft and hard tactics, Chen Biao bowed and said goodbye to Fang Shizhong, thinking that he would go back to the government office to listen to Shi Tianyu's opinion first.

Fang Shizhong walked with heavy steps and stammered, "Brother Chen, wait a minute!"

He trembled and stepped forward to stop Chen Biao.

~~
Chen Biao looked at Fang Shizhong meaningfully, clasped his hands, bowed and said, "Master Fang, what do you want?"

Fang Shizhong unexpectedly suggested that Chen Biao and Wang Chao take some silver back to the government office. He smiled so ugly that it looked like he was crying, and said with a trembling voice: "Haha! Since the beginning of the year, I have received some salt tax silver, about 30,000 taels. After thinking about it, I decided to support the government office first. It is hard for Lord Shi to love the people. As for the Salt Transport Bureau, I will delay it again and again. Anyway, it is not time to pay the tax yet." He justified himself in this way, for fear that he would suddenly get drunk and dance naked in front of the gate of the Sichuan Inn.

~~
Wang Chao laughed twice, and cleverly praised Fang Shizhong, saying: "Haha! Lord Fang is really thoughtful. No wonder Lord Shi often praises you for supporting the government office and caring about the suffering of the villagers. Lord Fang is really an honest and good official, and a role model for the public servants in Fucheng! I will learn from Lord Fang in the future!"

Fang Shizhong no longer wanted to listen to this nonsense, so he raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and proposed another condition, saying, "Then please write a promissory note, Lord Wang." Wang Chao was suddenly embarrassed again, his old face looked very ugly, and he was at a loss what to do.

~~
Chen Biao suddenly had an idea and brought up Shi Tianyu again, saying, "Haha! Lord Shi has been writing IOUs to the tax bureaus in the government office this morning. Lord Fang and I will go back to the government office to get the IOUs later."

I haven't forgotten what Shi Tianyu said last night about the "tiger borrowing a pig".

Fang Shizhong wanted to ask the servants to follow him to the government office to get the IOU, but he didn't dare to do so. He thought for a moment and thought that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. At this time, Fang Zhiqiang stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pull Fang Shizhong's sleeve, and pointed at his legs.

Fang Shizhong looked sideways and lowered his head. Where was Fang Zhiqiang's legs? Wasn't he leaning on a pair of crutches?

Chen Biao and Wang Chao smiled at each other, and they finally let go of the burden and felt relieved.

~~
Fang Shizhong's psychological defenses finally collapsed completely, and he said with great difficulty: "This?! This! All right, come, go to the Salt Tax Bureau's treasury and withdraw 30,000 taels of silver for Lord Wang to take back to the government treasury."

He waved his hand angrily and asked the butler of the Fang Mansion to go to the Salt Tax Bureau to get the silver for Chen Biao and Wang Chao.

I also know in my heart that Wang Chao didn't even write a promissory note, which means he is "borrowing from a tiger a pig" and will never return the money.

Oh, what a headache!

That bastard Shi Tianyu is really meddling in too many matters, even the tax bureau is in charge.

Oh my god, how could there be such an ignorant prefect in the Ming Dynasty?

Fang has never heard of any county magistrate or prefect who dares to be in charge of the tax bureaus, but only this bastard Shi Tianyu dares to be in charge of the tax bureaus.

All right, I'll write a letter of complaint against you and make you, Shi Gouzai, pay the price for it, humph!
~~
The air is fresh after the rain and the earth is fragrant, giving people a refreshing and comfortable feeling.

The mountains are greener, the trees are greener, and Fucheng, which is like a forest park, is like a beautiful landscape painting with a profound artistic conception.

Wang Chao and Chen Biao took the silver back to the government office to deposit it in the warehouse, but they saw Liu Cong, Liu Lai Fu and others also coming back with the silver one after another.

"Master Shi's plan is really brilliant! I didn't expect that four of the five tax offices have already given money. Master Shi's words really work!"

"That's great! One hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver were deposited into our government office early in the morning. Our Lord Shi is really like Zhuge Liang! What he says is what he means, and his words are as good as gold!"

The constables, yamen runners, and jailers came to the court and saw Wang Chao, Liu Cong and other officials directing some people to carry in boxes of silver one after another. They all raised their fingers to praise Shi Tianyu who was sitting at the desk in the court.

~~
Shi Tianyu sat alone, without saying a word, looking at everyone with a smile.

It seemed as if he was unaware of the news that Jia Wei-fu had gone mad.

~~
Wang Chao walked into the court, bowed and said, "Master Shi, should the government office first deduct some of the money for you? Master Shi is a man of high moral character. He paid the government office 80,000 taels of silver last night."

Shi Tianyu nodded and said, "Okay! Lord Wang, you should distinguish between public and private. Please put the silver I paid in advance in the inner hall. Miss Hui'er will come to escort it later. In addition, Lord Wang, please allocate 10,000 taels of silver to Anzi County, Pingting County, Jiangchuan County, and Yantai County. Guxiang County is relatively wealthy, so no money will be allocated for the time being. If the chief official of Guxiang County asks about it, Lord Wang will say that the silver sent by the Tea and Horse Bureau to the government office has not arrived yet, and it will be allocated to the Guxiang County government office after the money arrives."

~~
"Yes!" Wang Chao bowed and left immediately.

Liu Cong smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed and bowed, saying, "Master Shi is truly a man of both wisdom and courage, and highly respected!"

Shi Tianyu smiled and picked up his pen to read and approve the official documents.

After everyone finished their work, Shi Tianyu put down the brush in his hand and said, "In view of the fact that Lord Jia Weifu, the Director of the Tea and Horse Bureau, suddenly went drunk and mad, the Tea and Horse Bureau is so important that it cannot be without a leader! Therefore, this official recommends Ling Feng, the magistrate of Guxiang County, to be the Director of the Tea and Horse Bureau. Since Shan Wushuang took office as the chief of the Qiansui Temple Guard Camp, he has performed his duties loyally and fought bloody battles with the invading enemies many times, and his contributions are indispensable. This official recommends Shan Wushuang to be promoted to the magistrate of Guxiang County. He Sihai will be promoted to the chief of the Qiansui Temple Guard Camp. What do you think? If there is no objection, Su Xing will draft the official document and report it to the Governor's Office, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel." Whenever there was a vacancy, he would send his confidants to take over, take charge of all affairs in Fucheng, and hold all the power in his hands.

"No objection!" Everyone raised their hands in approval.

He Sihai and Shan Wushuang were so excited that they burst into tears and immediately knelt down to thank Shi Tianyu.

~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "County Magistrate Shan, do your job well and be honest and upright. I have given you a lot of money, enough for you to support your family. Don't do anything wrong. It is hard to work in the area under my jurisdiction, but you will be promoted quickly, regardless of rank or years of service. Because I have a good relationship with the Ninth Prince, the official documents submitted to the Ministry of Personnel by the Fucheng government office have always been unimpeded. It is easy for me to promote you, and it is also easy to dismiss you. The dungeon of the government office has also been cleaned up. Anyone who is corrupt or has been investigated by me can come and stay here, and they can also bring their families with them. The whole family, young and old, can enjoy the taste of this special inn in the dungeon."

Shan Wushuang cried and said, "Yes!" and could not say any more. She was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes again. She helped Shi Tianyu to help He Sihai stand up. She hoped to follow Shi Tianyu and rise step by step from now on. How dare she be corrupt!

~~
In fact, Shi Tianyu did this to give a reminder to Qiu Feng, the county magistrate of Anzi County, meaning: Qiu Feng, Qiu Feng, you see, Shi has reused someone like Shan Wushuang who was so cruel to him in the past. I hope you will report Bai Youlong's illegal gold mining as soon as possible, make new contributions, and become the county magistrate as soon as possible.

As long as we get rid of this despicable and shameless person Bai Youlong, won't there be a lot of vacancies in the government office and the tax offices?
~~
Shi Tianyu waved at Shan Wushuang and said, "Well, Lord Wang will send Shan Wushuang to Guxiang County to serve as the county magistrate, and Lord Liu will send He Sihai to the Qiansui Temple Guard Camp to read out the government's decision and be promoted to the chief steward of Qiansui Temple.

Sir Liu, you are the Tongpan, and you are responsible for the public security of Fucheng and other counties. The detective team has been trained for you. You need to inspect the public security situation in various counties and villages to ensure peace.

In addition, you have a heavy responsibility, serving as the county magistrate of Pingting County and Anzi County. You have to visit these two counties frequently. A lot of money has been allocated to you! You have to make some achievements.

Oh, by the way, Lord Wang, after you send Shan Wushuang to Guxiang County as the magistrate, take Ling Feng to Fucheng and personally send him to the Tea and Horse Taxation Department to take up the post of Supervisor. The government office will pay some money, be generous, and host a banquet for all the colleagues in the Tea and Horse Department, asking them to support Ling Feng as the Supervisor of the Tea and Horse Department. If others have time, they should also go to the countryside to see if the village heads and baojia heads need any help? Remember to bring your own money, food, and travel expenses, and don't cause trouble for the lower levels. This official will not treat you unfairly.

The Tea and Horse Department still owes the government several tens of thousands of taels of silver, which Ling Feng will deliver after he takes office. Then, we will give everyone bonuses."

~~
"it is good!"

"Thank you Master Shi!"

"Clap!"

Suddenly, cheers and applause rang out like thunder in the court.

"Yes!" Wang Chao and Liu Cong bowed and left.

Then, the civil servants went out to perform their duties.

There were no cases in Fucheng under the rule of Shi Tianyu, and those who dared to cause trouble were basically killed by Shi Tianyu.

There are no difficult new government initiatives this year. The main ones are that Yantai County plans to build 100 stone arch bridges, and the county governments within the jurisdiction of Fucheng will buy grain seeds for the villagers. The third is to return land to the people.

Now, the construction of the stone arch bridge in Yantai County has been fully launched, and the grain seeds purchased for the villagers have all been distributed. The only thing left is the return of the land to the people, which has not made any progress for the time being. The major landlords are also quietly joining forces to prepare to rise up against Shi Tianyu.

However, Shi Tianyu did not rush to take action. He wanted to wait for those landlords to gather their forces and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

~~
After Shi Tianyu finished reviewing the official documents, he went into the inner hall and transferred the 80,000 taels of silver returned to him by the government office back to the big treasury in the system space garden. Then he walked out of the government office, put his hands behind his back and walked to the street. He walked around the city and frequently greeted the people on the street, letting everyone know that he was in Fucheng and reminding those martial artists not to think of causing trouble in Fucheng.

Otherwise, it will become a pile of ashes.

~~
When Shangguan Xiaoxi heard that Shi Tianyu was wandering around the streets, she ran out of the big iron house of the Fucheng branch of the Heheng Chain Bank to take a look. She followed Shi Tianyu for a while and really wanted to go up to Shi Tianyu and say, "Husband, I want to go home. I want to be with you forever. Please forgive my previous cruelty. I was forced to do so." However, just as she had this thought, she was dragged back to the bank by Shangguan Shu.

Shangguan Shu knew what his daughter was thinking.

However, he did not blame Shangguan Xiaoxi or scold her.

The father and daughter sat quietly in the tea room drinking tea.

However, Shangguan Xiaoxi was absent-minded and felt very sad.

~~
Shangguan Shu did not say anything. He lowered his head to look at Jing Ji who was lying on the ground like a dog. He was very confused. He thought that his gang had spent so much money and hired countless martial arts masters to deal with Shi Tianyu. However, Shi Tianyu seemed to be getting more and more powerful and more and more difficult to deal with. What was going on?

Is it so difficult for me to get the treasure map on Shi Tianyu's back? Jing Ji and Tang Ye had explored the nameless mountain on the outskirts of Kaifeng Prefecture before. There is indeed an underground river, but no underground palace was found in the underground river!

Where exactly is the underground palace in that cave?
Hey! I didn't get Shi Tianyu's money, but Shi Tianyu took away hundreds of millions of taels of silver, which was a heavy loss.

I really feel ashamed of my ancestors!
~~
At noon, Shi Tianyu returned to the system space, had lunch with the ladies, amused his sons, and then flew to locker No. 19, got into bed with Liu Rufei, and fought for six thousand rounds.

~~
The gentle spring breeze gives people a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Shi Tianyu and Liu Rufei woke up, took a bath, changed clothes, and had dinner. They talked about the idea of ​​rebuilding the Shenshui Palace in Tianshan Yaochi. Liu Rufei clapped her hands excitedly and wanted to set off immediately. She also talked about how she and Helan Minyue and Zhang Hui had acquired thousands of boys and girls from the northwest refugees a few days ago and could train them.

I also hope that Helan Minyue and Zhang Hui can accompany her to live in Tianshan Yaochi for a while. Now, thousands of boys and girls are temporarily living in the Yao Mansion in Fucheng. It is very crowded, but there is no other way. It can only be like this for the time being.

~~
Shi Tianyu said yes!
But in my heart, I was reluctant to see Zhang Hui and Helan Minyue leave.

Shi Tianyu would feel very uncomfortable without Zhang Hui and Helan Minyue serving him.

~~
Shi Tianyu and Liu Rufei then walked to the large garden of the system space. Shi Tianyu used "Heavenly Escape Sound Transmission" to inform Helan Minyue, Zhang Hui, Fanfan, Dingding, and Honghong to bring some clothes and prepare to go to Tianshan.

Then, holding Liu Rufei's hand, he came to the Yao Mansion, gathered more than a thousand boys and girls, had them line up in the backyard, and drifted them to the large garden in the system space. Then, holding Liu Rufei, he performed the "Imperial Step" and flew to Tiandu Peak of Tianshan Mountain.

We arrived in the early morning.

~~
Shi Tianyu let go of Liu Rufei, who had just woken up from a nap in his arms, and moved Helan Minyue, Zhang Hui, Fanfan, Dingding, Honghong and others down. He also tied the "Hongming Sword" to his back just in case. After all, Fanfan, Dingding, Honghong and others had very low martial arts skills, but he also wanted them to gain more experience and at the same time take care of Liu Rufei's daily life and diet.

This is a primeval forest, a place where no one lives.

The group of beauties cheered and shouted for Sister Jing'er and the others to come and see, showing their deep feelings for Wang Jing.

Because Wang Jing has always treated them well.

Shi Tianyu was helpless. After thinking about it, he felt that the suggestions of Fanfan and other concubines were very good, so he brought Fu Ying, An'er, Wang Jing, Tan Ruofeng, Hua Qianduo, Lu Ying, Zhu Lili, Xiangxiang, Yiyi, Xiaofeng and others to the ground.

After thinking it over again, he brought Shi Lin, Shi Bingbing, Shi Jiahan, Shi Ruiyang, Shi Ruitao, Shi Haichuan and other children, as well as the old groom Ma Shuan and a group of maids, servants, cooks and others to the ground level.

They also let "Dudu", "Shiyu", "Duoduo", "Wangfu", "Wangcai", "Wangyun" and "Wangwang" lead dozens of puppies to clear the way in front to prevent giant pythons and wild wolves from suddenly jumping out and hurting Shi Lin and other children.

Among this group of children, only Shi Haichuan was held by Xiaofeng, because the other children all ran away.

If the adults are not paying attention, the children will run away.

~~
When the ladies saw that Liu Rufei had a slender figure, beautiful face, and skin as white as snow, and heard that Liu Rufei was the Palace Master of Shenshui Palace and the daughter of Yeji Jellyfish, they dared not say a word.

Liu Rufei didn't mind how many wives and concubines Shi Tianyu had, because Liu Rufei would not live with Shi Tianyu for a long time. She was determined to cultivate to become an immortal, to rebuild the Shenshui Palace, and to become the second Yeji Jellyfish.

Liu Rufei is a little out of touch with worldly affairs now, but she still has a very good relationship with Zhang Hui and Helan Minyue.

~~
The group walked and stopped, admiring the picturesque scenery along the way. From time to time, they could see vultures circling and snow sheep walking.

These rare birds and animals are not afraid of people.

This made Shi Lin and the other children extremely excited and felt very fresh. They struggled to slide down from Shi Tianyu and the others' arms and ran away from time to time. Liu Rufei, Helan Minyue, Zhang Hui, Xiangxiang and the others hurriedly ran to chase the children and protect them. They were all tired and hot all over, and their heads were covered with sweat.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and Kui Xinlong came with a group of people riding on many horses.

~~
Wang Jing exclaimed: "White Dragon Horse? Haha, it's really my White Dragon Horse, great! The White Dragon Horse is still alive."

Suddenly he was so excited that tears came to his eyes and he ran forward again.

Kui Xinlong galloped on his horse, leading the way, ran to Shi Tianyu, jumped off his horse, clasped his hands, bowed and said: "I am Kui Xinlong, meeting Lord Shi." He turned sideways and said to Liu Rufei: "Meeting the Palace Master!"

Wang Jing hugged the white dragon horse's neck and was extremely affectionate.

From time to time, the white dragon horse tilted its head to look away from Wang Jing, raised its front hooves, neighed, and tears rolled down its eyes.

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "Uncle Kui, thank you for your hard work. In the future, I will have to trouble you to protect Rufei. We are going to rebuild the Shenshui Palace in Tianshan Yaochi." Kui Xinlong straightened up and laughed excitedly, "That's great! The old palace master said the same thing. In fact, the old palace master has already chosen Tianshan Yaochi, it's just a test of Mr. Shi's wisdom and whether he can keep his word."

Shi Tianyu burst into laughter, then came over, hugged the white dragon horse's neck, stroked the horse's mane, and burst into tears with excitement. Six years ago, he had endured so much suffering, so many misunderstandings, and so many assassinations and attacks by martial artists all over the world for this BMW.

Fortunately, Yeji Jellyfish injured Shi Tianyu and White Dragon Horse, forcing White Dragon Horse to leave Shi Tianyu for six years, allowing martial artists to gradually eliminate their misunderstandings about Shi Tianyu. Moreover, Yang Xiaohu, Nie Zhichun, You Zhi, Niu Zhenwu, Wuchi Master, and Tan Shifu, who were mobilized to assassinate Shi Tianyu, were all killed by those rumors and misunderstandings.

Shi Tianyu is living better and better, and the White Dragon Horse is becoming more majestic. It's really unpredictable.

Shi Tianyu hugged the white dragon horse for a while, then asked Wang Jing to lead the white dragon horse and lead everyone back to locker No. 03 in the system space. He also asked Zhu Lili to persuade Zhu Shuilong to lead soldiers and horses, and come out later to Tianshan Yaochi to help Liu Rufei build a new Shenshui Palace.

Zhu Lili agreed and didn't dare to refuse.

Then, Liu Rufei, Zhang Hui, Helan Minyue and Kui Xinlong hugged Shi Tianyu again.

Shi Tianyu then used the "Immortal Steps" to fly to the foot of the northern peak of Tianshan Mountain, and came to the black spring well.

~~
Shi Tianyu then put everyone aside and asked the system for support, and then drifted 200,000 barrels of black spring water into the system space for himself.

Then, Shi Tianyu sat cross-legged with everyone and explained to them the uses of the black spring water.

Liu Rufei said in surprise: "Then, the new Shenshui Palace can use this black spring water to boil water and cook. That's great! From now on, we don't have to chop wood or cut grass anymore." Zhang Hui smiled and said: "In the fairyland, we don't have to make fire to cook. We burn natural gas and combustible ice, which is more advanced. It's better to live in the fairyland! Sister-in-law, let's rebuild the Shenshui Palace in our home in the fairyland."

Liu Rufei said quietly: "But, in the fairy world, after all, it is our small family, and we cannot save all living beings."

Helan Minyue said coldly: "Can you save all living beings?"

Haha!

Everyone laughed.

~~
When the system's voice rang in Shi Tianyu's ears, two hundred thousand barrels of black spring water were moved to locker No. 02 in the system space. Shi Tianyu asked Kui Xinlong to lead the way and lead everyone to the top of the mountain. There was an ice cliff dozens of feet high on the mountainside, which was clear and bright.

Zhang Hui and Helan Minyue looked up at the ice cliff and marveled at the picturesque scenery.

Just as I was watching intently, I suddenly heard the sound of heavy footsteps coming from nearby.

Liu Rufei, Zhang Hui and Helan Minyue hurriedly drew their swords and looked around, but could not find any trace. After taking a few steps forward, the heavy footsteps sounded again.

~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "No need to look around. There are no enemies. There were originally many huge icebergs in the Tianshan Mountains. However, because the icebergs often melt, the rocks are gradually being lifted up. In the hollows of countless rocks, the turbulent glaciers sound very similar to the footsteps of giants."

Zhang Hui laughed and said, "So that's how it is. I was really scared. It turns out that there are ancient icebergs buried under the mountains."

Shi Tianyu laughed again and said, "Everyone have to be careful. There is a huge iceberg under our feet. Be careful of avalanches and also be careful of rocks falling after the iceberg melts." Liu Rufei smiled and said, "Man can conquer nature. I'm here to rebuild the Shenshui Palace. I'm not afraid. I'll go up there and take a look around first and lead the way for you." After that, she pointed her toes and flew away like an arrow from a bow.

However, Liu Rufei got into trouble.

After she floated dozens of feet high, she landed on the ground. Suddenly, a figure rose up from the bushes and punched her in the face.

~~
Liu Rufei shrank suddenly, her left shoulder had been hit hard by a punch.

However, that person was also repelled by Liu Rufei's body-protecting magic skill and fell to the side.

However, the man instantly drew his sword and jumped up.

At this time, another person flew down from the tree branch and stabbed Liu Rufei with a sword.

Liu Rufei was simple-minded, skilled and bold, but she was not afraid. She swung her long sleeves and deflected the enemy's fatal sword. She then put her sleeves around the enemy's neck, and when the attack missed, she put away her sleeves and performed her "Beauty Fist" with a move called "Diao Chan Worshiping the Moon". She flashed her body, reached behind the enemy, and attacked him with her palm.

The man was quite good at swordsmanship and his movements were also swift. He held the sword and used the move "Riding a Crane to Immortality", then went around to the side and stabbed Liu Rufei in the side.

~~
Liu Rufei's body shook, facing the enemy, she used a move called "Xi Shi Holding Her Heart", attacking the enemy's heart with her fist. Her moves were not yet out of date, and she used another move called "Zhaojun Going to the Frontier", tapping the enemy's wrist with her fingers in the posture of playing the pipa.

Her moves were not yet out of date, and she used another move called "Magu Offering Longevity". She raised her fists and hit the enemy's chin, then moved down to grab the enemy's wrist and deprived him of his sword. Only then did she realize that the enemy was a beautiful girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed like a herdsman, quite pretty, and tall, about the same height as Liu Rufei's chin, who was 1.77 meters tall.

~~
In the swaying shadows of the trees, the man who had just attacked Liu Rufei held a knife and shouted angrily: "Who are you? Let my sister go."

Liu Rufei took a closer look and found that the man was a burly man, about 23 or 24 years old, about 1.85 meters tall, and also dressed like a herdsman. However, he was probably not a herdsman, but a ranger from the frontier.

At this moment, Liu Rufei heard the sound of a golden blade cutting through the wind and was attacked from behind.

Liu Rufei moved extremely quickly, borrowing the beautiful girl's sword to change her position.

The attacker dodged slightly, but his waist was hit by Liu Rufei's long sleeves.

The man roared, and stabbed Liu Rufei's throat with the sword in his hand!

~~
Liu Rufei didn't expect that man to be able to use the superior skill of "Yi Xue Shifting". She didn't dare to be careless, so she used "Dharma Sword Technique" and swung the sword diagonally. The man drew his sword back to block and rushed to the right again.

Liu Rufei gathered all her inner strength, grasped the sword and performed the move "Traveling Around the World". The man immediately felt a chill, and the tip of the sword pointed at his ribs, forcing him to draw his sword back to defend himself. When the sword tips touched each other, there was another streak of sparks and clanging sounds.

The man flipped and rolled the sword, and also used the "Dharma Sword Technique", chasing and attacking closely like a violent storm.

~~
Liu Rufei then used the Qingcheng School's "Eight Immortals Sword Technique", which was elegant and graceful, with her sword moving in a chain, stabbing, chopping and slashing, as graceful as a startled wild goose and as agile as a swimming dragon. The man held the sword and relied on Bodhidharma's strange moves, weaving around in the sword light, and occasionally holding the sword to counterattack.

The two men's swords were flying in all directions, and the light was overflowing.

At the foot of the mountain, sword energy was everywhere and leaves were flying.

~~
Liu Rufei's martial arts were extremely diverse, and when she found it difficult to capture the enemy, she switched to swordsmanship, using the Wudang school's "Eight Immortals Sword Technique". Her body swayed, and she held the sword to strike, stab, cut, and block, like a drunk. However, her body was drunk but her steps were not, her steps were drunk but her mind was not, her mind was drunk but her spirit was not. She had both grace and spirit, and her strength was both hard and soft. She was like a dragon playing with a pearl, and her moves were varied.

The man only felt Liu Rufei's shadow everywhere, and it became difficult to cope with it.

After a while, Liu Rufei found a flaw and stabbed the man in the side with a sword.

The man fell to the ground, his sword fell to the ground, blood gushed out like a fountain, but he was still laughing wildly and said, "Haha, the fairy is good at swordsmanship. Lu was injured by the fairy's sword. Although I lost, it is still an honor."

~~
Helan Minyue and others had already floated up the mountain and stood in front of the two men and one woman.

Therefore, the other man and woman no longer dared to attack Liu Rufei. They both held their swords and pointed at Helan Minyue and others nervously.

Only then did Liu Rufei see clearly the appearance of the man who was stabbed by the sword. He was about fifty years old, with a rough look, about 1.79 meters tall, with bronze skin, and a weather-beaten look.

~~
Shi Tianyu clasped his hands and said, "Excuse me, are you the ranger Lu Tianming from the Great Wall?"

When the beautiful girl heard this and saw that Shi Tianyu was handsome and kind, she sheathed her sword and came over to help the man stop the bleeding and bandage his wounds.

The man clasped his hands together and asked, rather alertly, "Excuse me, young man, what is your name?"

~~
Zhang Hui pointed at Shi Tianyu horizontally and said with a smile: "This is my son Shi Tianyu, a second-rank official of the Ming Dynasty, the Dragon Court General, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the prefect of Fucheng, who was a famous general in the anti-Jin war against Liaoxi twice, and was also the prefect of Guangning who loved the people like his own children."

Then he pointed at Liu Rufei and said, "This is my wife Liu Rufei, the Palace Master of Shenshui Palace, and the daughter of Yeji Jellyfish."

Hearing this, the man hurriedly clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "I am Lu Tianming, a native of Liaodong. My hometown was occupied by Nurhaci, and I became homeless. Ten years ago, I brought my daughter to travel around the Tianshan Mountains to thank Lord Shi for repelling the Jin soldiers twice. Oh, this is my daughter Lu Yi, and this is my disciple Yang Xi."

After introducing his daughter and apprentice, he bowed to Liu Rufei and said, "I am sorry that I am not very good at learning martial arts, Palace Master Liu."

Liu Rufei did not return the greeting, but just nodded. She did not like red tape.

Lu Yi and Yang Xi hurried over, clasped their fists, and bowed to Shi Tianyu.

Misunderstanding that Liu Rufei was arrogant, he did not come over to greet her.

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "It is like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. I am very lucky to meet Senior Lu on the top of Tianshan Mountain. Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you! May I ask what brings you here?"

Lu Tianming bowed and said, "I came here because I heard that there are two red and white flowers as thick as a bowl on Tianshan Mountain. They bloom only once every sixty years. Anyone who eats them can prolong their life and have thick black hair until death. So, I want to pick these two flowers and give them to my daughter Lu Yi. In another month, it will be my daughter's sixteenth birthday, so I also want to pick these two flowers as a gift for my daughter's sixteenth birthday. Why did Lord Shi leave Fucheng and come to Tianshan? A while ago, I heard that you killed many people who went to the Ice Palace to make trouble for the Ice Palace, and sent out the "Taixuan Sutra", which caused more than 700 martial artists in the Western Regions to practice the "Taixuan Sutra" in the palace."

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "At that time, the owner of the Ice Palace, Princess Mural, was 120 years old. However, she was seriously ill and her life was in danger. It was difficult for her to survive the thousands of martial artists in the Western Regions. Therefore, in order to protect the safety of the Ice Palace, the old princess asked me to give the Taixuan Sutra to the martial artists in the Western Regions. I did as I was told and never looked through the Taixuan Sutra. At that time, the situation was dangerous and I had no choice but to give away the most sacred classic of the martial arts world. Well, I won't disturb you from looking for flowers and treasures. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."

After explaining, he took out a few large silver ingots and stuffed them into Lu Tianming's hands, and said, "I hope that in the future, I can go back to Liaodong with Mr. Lu to fight against the Jin soldiers, drive out the Tartars, and recover the country."

Lu Tianming was so excited that he burst into tears and said with a sob: "Thank you! I definitely will!"

However, when Lu Tianming and the others raised their tearful eyes and saw the Holy Fire Token tucked around Helan Minyue's slender waist, they were all shocked.

Lu Yi wanted to say something, but Lu Tianming was quick to cover his daughter's mouth with his hand and shook his head.

It means that it is not convenient to ask now and we can talk about it later.

~~
Shi Tianyu waved his hand and led the crowd up the mountain.

After a while, they arrived at the stone gate.

This is the natural mountain pass leading into Yaochi. It is about 100 meters wide on both sides and only more than ten meters at the narrowest point.

Shimen is sandwiched between two peaks with a narrow strip of land in between. It is a canyon formed by the natural cutting of a natural river.

Here, the stone walls are towering, tens of meters high and about a hundred meters long, and are extremely unique and ingenious, like two open door panels.

The stone is dark ochre in color, like cast iron.

Inside the stone gate, the water swirls, the river is rushing, the waves are splashing, the cliffs are high and the valleys are deep, and the sound shakes the secluded valley.

Liu Rufei exclaimed in amazement: "The Yaochi is so beautiful!" Then she jumped and ran towards the Yaochi.

Kui Xinlong hurriedly drew his sword and flew after her, fearing that Liu Rufei would be in danger again.

Zhang Hui and Helan Minyue accompanied Shi Tianyu on both sides and walked slowly to the bank of Yaochi Lake. They also sighed at the beauty of the world, which was so colorful. Wherever they went, there were surprises and beautiful scenery. If they could travel around the world, they would not be immortals.
