"What kind of card is this? What's its use?" Ergou looked at the rubbing pattern on the paper and recognized it at a glance. It was the wooden sign related to Xu Feng. "A wooden plaque, although it is a bit old, is just a token. It has a very important symbolic meaning within Daoxuanzong, but it is of little use to outsiders. " Jiuxing Taoist explained it casually. "Oh, it turns out to be a sect token!" "It's a pity that I didn't see it. If I picked it up at some time, I would definitely return it to you." Ergou 떚 shook his head regretfully, saying that he had never seen it before. A few years earlier, he would have been nervous and blushing when telling a lie, and had to think carefully before speaking out. Now, after reading so many books, his use of lies is just opening his mouth, and reading the books of sages is in vain.
He guessed that Daoxuanzong asked Qingfeng to invite him a few days ago for the sake of this wooden sign. The invitation is successful, and now it's time to discuss the deal. This wooden sign should be simple. 놊会 is just a symbolic token. Since the other person tells the truth, he must also tell the truth. "I come here with sincerity this time. If Fellow Daoist Zhang picks it up, we are willing to exchange the treasure for it." "How about I exchange this wooden tablet with you for a technique that can be used to practice the golden stage?" When Jiuxing Taoist spoke, he stared at Ergou 떚 with burning eyes. Ergou looked calm. The back wall of this house is Shekou Mountain. With Chang Ling'er watching over him, if he was in danger, the big snake could reach over with his mouth. "Of course it's good. How could such an important token of Xi Guizong fall into my hands?" "Alas! Let me tell you the truth." Seeing whether 누 Ergou 떚 or 놊 admitted, Jiuxing Taoist sighed and said. "This is an important token of Daoxuanzong that has been circulated abroad. I just checked some information in the past two years." "It turns out that it fell into the hands of cult monks." "We were planning to make a deal with this cult monk, but he was swallowed by the big snake on the mountain because he was greedy for the Taoist monk's foundation." "I guess that the wooden plaque he carried with him should have fallen into the hands of fellow Taoists." "Ah? So that's it!" Ergou Da looked surprised when he heard this. "I really know that the big snake swallowed such an important thing."
"It's difficult now." "Even if this big snake swallows the magic weapon Flying Sword into its belly, it will be completely refined and even the dregs will be left." "If fellow Taoist believer, now I can feed him a flying sword, a magical weapon, and try to swallow it." Jiuxing Taoist heard this and was half convinced. After all, he had heard people say that the snake was so powerful that it could eat a handful of Foundation Establishment monks, just like eating carrots and cabbage. "Please also ask Fellow Daoist Zhang to pay more attention to me. The material of that wooden sign is extraordinary. It will definitely be refined by the snake demon." "Okay, when this snake poops in the future, I will have someone bring it over for you to check. See if you can find some wreckage from it and piece it together. " The two chatted for a long time. Anyway, Ergou admitted that he had a wooden sign in his hand, and he believed that he would go to the big snake to verify it. How could Jiuxing Taoist dare to get close to the big snake? How could he say goodbye and leave, leaving a way to contact them before leaving. Since Jiuxing Taoist left this time, Daoxuanzong has not come to see Ergou again. Ergou didn't pay attention to this matter anymore. He practiced on the mountain every day and occasionally went down to see the progress of the autumn harvest. With tens of thousands of acres of farmland in hand, we had our first big harvest. The golden food was piled as high as the mountain. A rough estimate is that this year's harvest in my fields, plus the rent collected, is at least more than 200,000 dan. He now has to pay taxes, and after excluding the food expenses of his men, he can still have at least tens of thousands of dan of food left. With so much grain, his warehouse is full, so he still needs to put it down. It can temporarily fill the room where everyone lives. At the same time, several granaries were built to store grain. Everyone has just emerged from hunger, and they all cherish food very much. Seeing the mountains of food, they all feel happy from the bottom of their hearts. After the autumn harvest, it enters the slack season. Having no worries about food and drink during the winter this year, Ergou asked his subordinates to focus their time and energy on cultivation. Now there are several people who have practiced Qi training, and there are several others who are on the threshold of breaking through Qi training. Among them, Huang Laocai's son, Huang Fugui, has been following Ergou Tie, and now he has successfully broken through the Qi training period. Huang Laocai also has a son, named Huang Mancang, who practices martial arts at Zhengwu Hall in the county town and successfully passed the examination as a martial arts scholar some time ago. Originally, being admitted as a martial arts scholar was a major event that honored one's ancestors. But when he returned to the village in glory, he found that he, a Wu scholar, was a little wet. He only passed Huang Fugui, who was lame.
Even Ergou's subordinates, the farmers who farm the land, and the little wives who wash clothes, make fires and cook, can defeat him, a martial scholar, with just one hand. A few days ago, he saw a child with a runny nose eating candy, and originally wanted to step forward to tease the child. Unexpectedly, this kid with a runny nose pushed him to the ground and gave him a good beating. After the child beat Huang Mancang, he wiped his nose with his new clothes. Huang Mancang looked at his messy hair, torn new clothes, and snot on his clothes... Wu Xiucai's face was completely gone. He once fell into self-doubt. Could it be that his reputation as Wu Xiucai was bought by his father behind his back... At the same time, Ergou also made some progress during this period. Not long after the autumn harvest, Ergou's cultivation level also broke through from the seventh level of Qi training to the first level. His strength has advanced a lot, and with two more levels, he can build a foundation. A few days ago, Yang Tie brought a letter. It turned out that he had been promoted and transferred, and asked him to take care of himself. The letter also reminded him to try not to provoke the Xia family. If he wanted to curry favor with the Xia family, he must not let any handle fall into the hands of the Xia family, and try to completely tear his face. Because the Xia family knew that Ergou was protected by the King of Qi. If both sides were to get along, the Xia family would not make it too difficult for Ergou, and there was no need to offend the King of Qi. At the same time, Yang Tie also warned Ergou that if he offended the Xia family, it would be best to leave Qingzhou as soon as possible. At least the Xia family should be caught in the open. Ergou put away Yang Tie's letter and fell into deep thought. He and Yang Tie had no friendship, but the other party could take care of him so much for Ji Cang's sake, which was considered to be the utmost loyalty. Moreover, during their frequent contacts, Yang Tie taught Ergou a lot of things. The content that Yang Tie taught was something he had never come into contact with before and had never read in books. It opened his eyes to the officialdom and the ways of the world. He is an official, and after Yang Tie leaves, the two of them will not have much contact in the future. If there is a chance in the future, I will still repay Yang Tie for this favor. A few months passed, and winter turned to spring again. Ergou grew another year older, and is now 21 years old.
He didn't go out much in the past few months, and he has been practicing in the mountains. Maybe he saw the power of the big snake, and no evil cult monks came to cause trouble in recent months. After all, if you can see a little hope of success, it is called adventure. If there is no hope of success, it is equivalent to sending yourself to death. There are many ways to die if you want to live, and there is no need to be buried in the belly of a snake. After the big snake revived, because it ate a lot of vegetables, its aura became much stronger. It's a bit regrettable that the big snake, like Chang Ling'er, can't leave Shekou Mountain. Forced to leave the mountain, it will become weaker and weaker. Last time, because of the autumn harvest, there was too much food, and he didn't even have a cow or a horse, so he asked the big snake to go out and carry some food back for him. I didn't expect that this guy would be so weak after leaving Shekou Mountain, and he was getting weaker and weaker. After just one day of work, he was exhausted, so he asked the big snake to go back to the mountain to recuperate. After recuperating for several days, the big snake recovered. But Ergou still felt that the big snake was very weak. After all, it was a snake demon, and it was not much stronger than cows and horses. When the spring plowing next year, I still have to let the big snake come out to do some work, so that it can always eat and live for free. "Because there is a formation on this mountain, if one day you can completely refine the magic weapon, you can let me and the snake go to a farther place to find food by ourselves."
