Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 81 Anping County
Xiao Qi brought Jia Le to a dry grave. Judging from the smell, it should be the grave of the ghost.
Jiale didn't need to do anything. Xiaoqi just used his sharp claws to grab and in a few seconds a pile of treasure appeared in front of Jiale.
There are gold and silver jewelry, and dollar bills, with a total value of no less than thousands of dollars. I don’t know where this old man got all this money from. Can he use it?
I remembered what Xiaofang said before, that Xiaoli's family escaped but were killed by the ghosts. Some of this money should have belonged to Xiaoli's family. After all, they must take all their belongings with them when they escape. I don't know about the rest. Some of the jewelry are obviously old and can probably be considered antiques.
This ghost must have been a poor man when he was alive. He was so afraid of being poor that he wanted to accumulate wealth even after his death. Unfortunately, he could not use the wealth, so he could only give it to Jiale.
He put all the things into the leopard bag and patted Xiaoqi's head, feeling very satisfied.
"Well done, I'll give you a snack later."
Xiao Qi cheered and jumped for joy like a little kid who had been praised, which made Jiale happy as well. The other six crows also called around Jiale, saying that they wanted one too.
Jiale patted them helplessly, "Everyone has a share, everyone has a share."
After pacifying the seven crows, Jiale, under the guidance of Xiaosan, found Xiaofang.
Xiaofang was already outside the forest at this time, curled up beside a rock in fear. When she heard the sound, she quickly looked up at Jiale, who was about the same age as her. She then looked at Xiaosan on Jiale's shoulder, and her eyes suddenly brightened.
"Master, you saved me?"
Jia Le looked at the bride in front of him. She was indeed very beautiful. Although she was not as beautiful as Ren Tingting, she was not much different. No wonder she was targeted by that pervert.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I have already killed those ghosts. Come back with me."
After saying that, Jiale walked forward. Xiaofang was overjoyed when she heard that. She followed Jiale closely and even smiled foolishly unconsciously. Jiale frowned when he saw it, wondering if she was crazy.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Jiale did not move forward, but turned to look at Xiaofang, "Xiaosan will take you back, take care of yourself, as for how to tell your parents, that is your business."
Xiaofang was confused when she heard that. She looked at Jiale and wanted to say something, but the words were stuck at her lips.
"Mah-mah-mah!"
Xiao San hovered over Xiao Fang's head, urging her on. Finally, Xiao Fang had no choice but to walk towards the village with mixed feelings, looking back every step of the way.
Jiale didn't care about it anymore. Dealing with ghosts was simple, whoever had the bigger fist was right. But it was different with people. Jiale was not even sure whether the villagers would thank him for killing those ghosts and saving Xiaofang. So he simply didn't tell anyone. Jiale had done his best by saving Xiaofang. As for what would happen next, it all depended on her luck.
He jumped back to the inn. Although he had been away for quite some time, there was nothing unusual in the inn. Jiale's mind sank into an unknown space.
In the unknown space at this time, there were already three Qi Refining-level energy beads, twelve Qi Transformation-level energy beads, and hundreds of Essence Refining-level energy beads. Jiale did not absorb any more energy beads, but used the Maoshan Qi Transformation Technique to restore his magic power. The seventh essence was actually directly transformed into Qi. At this point, his cultivation had reached the late stage of Qi Transformation.
Looking at the energy beads in front of me, it’s a great harvest.
There was still some time before dawn, so Jiale fell asleep. When he woke up again, it was already dawn.
After Jiale washed up, he heard footsteps at the door.
"Jia Le, we should go downstairs for breakfast."
It was Ren Tingting's voice. Jiale opened the door and walked out. Others were there too, but no one knew that a horrific ghost wedding incident happened in the village last night, and Jiale killed more than a hundred ghosts with his own hands.
The dining area was on the first floor. There were quite a few idle guests in the inn. They didn't order anything, but just took their breakfast, drank cheap tea, and chatted there.
"Have you heard that the daughter of the old Fu family came back last night?"
"What? Could it be that he escaped back? What should we do then?"
"The girl said that a Taoist priest passed by and saved her, and that the ghosts were also killed by the Taoist priest. We don't have to worry about them anymore."
…
The idlers were chatting one after another, some were still worried, some were very happy, and some were still blaming.
"That Taoist priest is meddling in other people's business. The ghost married the daughter of the old Fu family. We don't have to worry about it anymore. Fortunately, the ghost was killed. If it wasn't killed, wouldn't all of us in the village be buried with it?"
Once this was said, many people agreed with it. Of course, there were also some objections. They kept arguing until the innkeeper came out to persuade them to stop.
Jiale listened to these words but didn't take them seriously. He didn't want to send Xiaofang back last night because of these considerations. Now it seems that it was the right thing to do. Doing business with someone who is eager to help you is different from someone asking you to do something for them. No wonder the Taoist scriptures say that the world is where one refines one's mind. If a young Taoist has been practicing in the mountains for a long time and encounters this kind of thing when he comes down the mountain for the first time,
Even though he killed the ghost, he was still blamed. I'm afraid his spiritual heart must be hurt.
Sometimes, people are scarier than ghosts.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. When Uncle Fu and the others heard these words, they just thought they were just chatting and couldn't make out the general meaning. However, Ren Tingting kept looking at Jia Le. She always had a feeling that the Taoist priest mentioned by these villagers might be Jia Le.
Jiale also noticed Ren Tingting's gaze and went straight to her, "Why do you keep looking at me?"
After all, Ren Tingting was a lady from a wealthy family. After hearing this, she quickly lowered her head and ate quietly. There was no "what are you looking at me for?" conversation.
After the group left the village, they didn't encounter any unexpected incidents in the following week. They were lucky and were able to find towns and villages to rest sooner or later. For safety reasons, they sometimes stopped in a village in the afternoon and did not move forward.
“Anping County!”
What appeared in front of the group was a county town. Jiale also knew Anping County. He had always passed by here when driving corpses in the past. However, he usually avoided it and did not enter the city. But now it was already evening. If he did not enter the city to rest, he would have to sleep in the wilderness.
"Uncle Fu, let's go into the city."
As she spoke, Ren Tingting also looked at Jiale. Jiale naturally had no objection. All the expenses along the way were borne by Ren Tingting. They could live in the city if they wanted. Speaking of which, since traveling here, Jiale had never been to the county town, so he wanted to see the world.
Seeing that Jiale had no objection, the group walked towards the city gate.
There are two big soldiers guarding the door with guns in their hands. I don't know which general occupies Anping County now. The so-called general does not mean that he is very powerful. In this world, anyone with only a few hundred soldiers dares to call himself a general and occupy the county to show off his power. However, these generals are the ones who change the fastest.
Today, Marshal Li occupies the county town, but tomorrow Marshal Zhang might come to attack us and Marshal Li would lose his head.
It just makes the people suffer.
"There are eleven people in total, and I'll give you two dollars."
You have to pay to enter and exit the city gate, two dollars for eleven people. They can obviously rob, but they still give it a name. Ren Tingting was a little indignant, but Uncle Fu was an old hand, so he just paid the money and entered the city.
