Looking at the monk who suddenly attacked, not only the Jackal King was a little confused, even Jiale was a little confused.
The Jackal King obviously regarded the monk as one of his accomplices, but at this point, it was no longer important. The monk's attack was ruthless, and he had no intention of letting the Jackal King repent and become a Buddha on the spot. It was obvious that he wanted to send him directly to the West. The most important thing was that the monk seemed to be stronger than the Jackal King.
The monk acted too hastily, so the jackal king had no choice but to abandon his family and welcome the monk, turning his gun around and killing the monk.
The wolf claws waved, and a giant wolf in the void appeared behind the Jackal King, opening its bloody mouth, ready to swallow the monk in one gulp. It was obvious that the Jackal King felt the threat from the monk and went all out.
However, the monk was no pushover. He let out a loud shout, twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand lightly, and slapped his palm down. The demon-subduing seal was in his hand. With another slap, the shadow of a heavenly dragon Buddha appeared behind him, and his power was even greater than that of the jackal king.
"The mighty heavenly dragon, the Buddha Ksitigarbha, the prajnaparamita buddhas, the prajnaparamita prajnaparamita."
Boom! After the attack, the jackal king was defeated again and again. After the monk landed, he only took a few steps back and stood still.
However, the battle continued. The monk was also at the Return to Void Realm. In terms of realm, if you look closely, he was even stronger than the Jackal King. He also had the ability to subdue demons, so the Jackal King could not gain any advantage at all.
Jiale looked at the monk in front of him in a daze.
The Great Dragon, the Buddha Ksitigarbha, the Prajnaparamita Buddhas, the Prajnaparamita Bhagavan! How could it be so familiar? It was no wonder that Jiale thought too much. This Prajnaparamita had already brainwashed him in his previous life. He couldn't help but be impressed. Anyway, Jiale knew that he didn't need to ask for help this time, so he inexplicably came to help.
After taking a look at the foxes below, Jiale slowly descended.
"Go now. You have done a good job in attracting the wolves this time, so I will allow you to make up for your mistake. But if you dare to continue to do evil in the future, even if it is to absorb the yang energy of living people, I will kill you in my hands after I find out. Don't say I didn't warn you."
The foxes couldn't help but shudder when they heard that. They knew Jiale wasn't joking, and the murderous intent revealed in his words couldn't be faked.
Especially after seeing how powerful Jiale was today, they no longer dared to have any small thoughts. Although the world is big, for these strong people, as long as they want to know something, it is rare that they can hide it from them. It just depends on the length of time. If they are really discovered doing evil again, they have no doubt that Jiale will kill them.
After all, Jiale had already left a deep impression on them when they first met him. At that time, they had already experienced the feeling of walking on the edge of life and death. How could they not remember it?
"Don't worry, Immortal Master. We will remember your teachings. If these daughters of mine dare to commit crimes again, I will kill them without your concern. This time, you have saved my family and avenged us. In the future, if you have any orders, we will go through fire and water without hesitation. After leaving here, I will go to Yizhou. If I don't have the strength to avenge you, I will never return."
The old fox swore and vowed, but Jiale just took it as his words. In this world, the last thing you can trust is words, what matters is actions.
The reason why Jiale didn't kill them was that he agreed to it, on the one hand, and on the other hand, he really saw that Xin Shisiniang had some merits and luck, so he was willing to give them a chance. Although Xin Shisiniang's sisters had absorbed the yang energy, fortunately they had not killed anyone. He would let them go this time, but if they committed the crime again next time, he would kill them. Since he had made an agreement today, there would be nothing to say.
He waved his hand to let the foxes leave. If the monk was really as he guessed, if they didn't leave now, these foxes might not be able to leave.
His gaze returned to the battlefield.
Zen staff, golden bowl, demon-subduing pestle and demon-subduing seal, this monk is really rich. Any one of these four instruments is above the level of spiritual instruments, especially the golden bowl, which is a treasure of magic weapon level. Jia Le is a little envious when he sees it. It is obvious that there is a powerful person behind it. I don’t know how many lifetimes it took to accumulate such wealth. It is really enviable.
Not only that, the robes worn by the monks and the Buddhist beads in their hands are all of spiritual weapon level.
The Jackal King was in a miserable situation. He was no match for the monk in the first place, and after seeing the monk's gorgeous equipment, he was even more defeated.
"Fahai, you are going too far. My clan of jackals has no grudge against your Jinshan Temple. Why did you attack me?"
Unable to win, the Jackal King looked angry, but he actually wanted to reason.
But the monk’s Buddhist name really shocked Jiale’s heart. It was really Fahai!
Isn't this the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio? How could the White Snake come in?
His heart was in a state of confusion. The thing he was most worried about had happened. Just like in Uncle Jiu's world, with the intrusion of other worlds, the strength of this world suddenly increased a lot. Moreover, many monsters that he could not even imagine appeared, and the danger factor rose sharply.
"Humph, demons are rampant in this world, and anyone can kill them. If you stick to Xiangshan, that's fine. I don't care about the fights between demons, but you are so bold that you dare to come to the city of the human world. How can I let you go?"
As expected, he had a face that hated evil. Jiale looked at Fahai and couldn't help but give him a low compliment.
There are two ways to become a Buddha, one is to kill, the other is to save the world. Killing is for the purpose of saving the world, but saving the world strictly prohibits killing.
Fahai chose the method of killing to become a Buddha. There are many considerations in killing. Fahai believes that demons are evil and have no goodness, and they only kill.
Many people regard this practice as evil, and think that Fahai killed only to become a Buddha, which has lost the meaning of killing. He killed indiscriminately without distinguishing between good and evil, and harmed the innocent. However, there is no one law in this world that is the same. Fahai was wrong in that he did not continue killing. Once his murderous intention was lost, he lost the chance to become a Buddha.
There are thousands of Buddhas in the West, and many of them have mastered the Dharma of the Sea of ​​Dharma. How can they all be said to be wrong?
Guanyin Bodhisattva did not agree with Fahai's approach, it was just that Fahai's approach was not in line with Guanyin Bodhisattva's teachings. However, if Guanyin did not save him, other Buddhas would come to save him. After all, Fahai was not firm enough.
"Fahai, if you don't stop, I will lead my jackal tribe to destroy Jinshan Temple one day."
"Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"
"You lunatic, your Jinshan Temple is not like those big temples, how dare you bully me like this."
"The mighty Heavenly Dragon."
"you."
"Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"
…
"Just wait for me."
The Jackal King's injuries were getting worse and worse. He knew that if he continued to fight, he might lose his life. Moreover, facing the unyielding Fahai, he did not dare to delay any longer. He left a harsh word and was about to escape.
How could Fahai tolerate him? The Jackal King was right in saying that the Jinshan Temple where Fahai was located was not a top-notch temple, and the strongest person now was only Fahai, a monk in the Return to Void Realm. The strength of other monks in the temple was not top-notch, so even if Fahai knew where the wolf's den was, he could not take the initiative to go and kill them.
Although he hates evil, he is not a fool. He can clearly distinguish between seeking death and killing. Now that he has finally encountered the Jackal King, how can Fahai let him go?
Seeing the Jackal King and Fahai running away one after the other, Jiale was a little confused. He had said that he wanted to talk to Fahai, but now there is no chance.
At this moment, he, who should have been the protagonist, has completely become a spectator.
Turning back to look at Tianxin Temple, Jiale cleared the aura from it and left. It was no longer safe here. Someone might be on the way. The previous strange phenomenon had caused quite a stir.
Jiale doesn't want to be exposed to others so early.
Without hesitation, he took Wansheng and returned directly to Jinhua County.
Not long after Jiale left, a figure landed. It was the master of Mount Maoshan . Although he had to come in person, he was responsible for the whole mountain and could not just leave. After arranging the matters at the mountain gate, the master of Mount Maoshan rushed to Tianxin Temple, but he was still a step late.
He calculated with his hands, but just like before, he got nothing. The place where the Shangqing Fairy Light was was like a fog, immeasurable. It was obvious that there was a rare treasure covering it, or the fate was different and the luck was strong, which could not be predicted.
After thinking for a while, the master of Maoshan Mountain did not return, but went towards Jinhua County.
After the Lord of Mount Maoshan left, several figures descended one after another, but they also gained nothing.
Jia Le naturally didn't know that his actions had attracted so many important people. At this time, he had already returned to the county town.
The county town is quite lively now.
When the Chu family fell, one family was worried and thousands of families were happy. Except for the Chu family, no one felt that the Chu family was wronged. It was like everyone pushing down the wall when it fell. Although the county magistrate Ye Zirong confiscated the family's property and exterminated the clan, don't think that the Chu family's property was really used to fill the treasury. Most of the assets of the aristocratic families are invisible assets and are not displayed on the surface at all.
What can be displayed on the surface is just for show, for ordinary people to see, and is less than one-tenth or one-twelfth of the actual value.
After Ye Zirong raided the Chu family, he put one or two tenths of the money into the government treasury, but it was different for the remaining seven or eight tenths, which he put directly into his pocket. However, in fact, it was not that simple. Jinhua County was not just Ye Zirong's Jinhua County. The four big families had considerable strength in Jinhua County. To be honest, if Ye Zirong had not occupied the position of county magistrate, he would be inferior to the four big families.
Now that the Chu family has fallen, how could the remaining three major families let go of such a big piece of fat meat?
In addition to the Sun family and the Chu family, the other four major families include the Li family and the Wang family. The head of the Wang family is the county lieutenant of Jinhua County, and the head of the Li family is the county magistrate of Jinhua County. If you calculate carefully, the Chu family can only rank fourth among the four major families. Moreover, the grandfather of the Chu family who serves as the chief clerk in Jinhua County has reached the age. In order to let a newcomer take over, the Chu family took the initiative to marry their daughter to Ye Zirong in order to facilitate this matter.
Ye Zirong also took this opportunity to invite the Chu family and wanted to plot against the Sun family, but he didn't expect that everything has been messed up now. Instead, it was the Chu family who made trouble and got himself involved.
The Chu family had so many assets, how could the three families let Ye Zirong take them all? Let's forget about the floating wealth, as for the Chu family's businesses and real estate, the moment the Chu family got into trouble, the three families started to take action, some to swallow up, some to use tricks. By the time Ye Zirong wanted to intervene, 80% of the assets had already been taken away. Ye Zirong was naturally angry, but he had to hold back his anger, because if he wanted to secure his position as county magistrate, he needed the support of the three major families.
As for the last 20%, it was not that the three major families were unable to take it, but they left a way out and took the initiative to keep it for Ye Zirong.
Ye Zirong could only quit while she was ahead.
In fact, he was the one who gained the most this time. He not only got the Chu family's floating wealth, but also 20% of the real estate. He also earned a reputation as a selfless and impartial person who put justice above his own.
In the past two days, the one-tenth or twenty-thirds of the money returned to the Chu family's treasury were used to compensate the families of the murdered children and girls, and porridge stalls were opened to provide disaster relief. The number of disaster victims that the county could accommodate increased. Generally speaking, his reputation as an official is getting higher and higher. When the annual review comes again, he will definitely get an A grade after some activities, and there is hope for him to move up to the next level.
At the Sun Mansion, Jiale listened to the report from Steward Lin and realized that they had reaped a lot of benefits this time. Not only did they avoid an external disaster, but they also took over 20% of the Chu family's business, increasing the Sun family's strength in Jinhua County by another 10%.
Seeing Lin Ting's happy face, Jiale also smiled. Lin Ting was happy about the harvest in the county, while Jiale was happy about the harvest of energy beads in the Kunlun Mirror.
One Yuanshen level energy bead, nine Huashen level energy beads, and thousands of other energy beads, maybe he can break through to the Yuanshen level in one go.
"Oh, by the way, Master, two days ago, two people came to the mansion, saying they were from the Second Master's side and came to live with their relatives. I checked their credentials and they don't seem to be fake, but I can't make a final decision on this matter, so I let them stay first. Master, do you want to meet them?"
Lin Ting looked at Jiale carefully. At this time, he no longer dared to treat Jiale as a child. Before, Lin Ting only thought that Sun Yan was young and inexperienced and it would be difficult for him to support the Sun family, so he carefully guided him and managed the Sun family well. However, after this incident, Lin Ting also found that Sun Yan did not seem to be who he thought. He was young and inexperienced, and most of his actions were just because he did not take it seriously.
Now that the crisis has really come, Sun Yan actually behaves a bit like his father. This makes Lin Ting happy, but he also dares not to do everything on his own as he did before.
Yes! I came to visit my relatives!
Second Master!
Jia Le looked through Sun Yan's memories and found this Second Master. The so-called Second Master was Sun Yan's second uncle. When he was young, he disobeyed the then head of the family, who was Sun Yan's grandfather, and insisted on marrying an ordinary woman. At that time, Sun Yan's grandfather had already found a marriage partner for him, which would be of great benefit to the Sun family. Sun Yan's grandfather naturally could not agree to let Sun Yan's second uncle ruin such a good thing, so he secretly resorted to means to send the woman away.
However, Sun Yan's second uncle knew about this in advance and eloped with the woman. Sun Yan's grandfather was so angry that he fell ill and passed away soon after.
For so many years, there has been no news from Uncle Sun Yan, but today his descendants have come to visit.
"Then bring him here to meet me."
Side courtyard.
At this time, there was a man and a woman who were feeling uneasy. They were the two people who came to seek refuge with their relatives. They were the children of Sun Yan's second uncle, which meant they were Sun Yan's younger brother and sister.
After leaving the Sun family, Sun Yan's second uncle went to Jiaozhou. Because of his good talent, he soon became a famous scholar and accumulated a family fortune. His life was originally very happy. However, not long ago, the White Lotus Sect suddenly targeted the Sun family. After a series of accidents, the Sun family suffered a disaster and Sun Yan's second uncle died unexpectedly, leaving behind only a son and a daughter. He did not dare to stay and fled Jiaozhou. According to Sun Yan's second uncle's instructions, he came to Yangzhou to live with his relatives.
They only found out when they arrived that their uncle had passed away and that their cousin was now in charge. They felt uneasy and wondered whether he would be accepted.
"The young master invites you, both of you please follow me."
After hearing what Steward Lin said, the two became even more uneasy. After all, they were only boys and girls of fifteen or sixteen years old. How could they remain calm in the face of such a fate-determining event?
backyard.
Jiale looked at the man and woman in front of him. They were actually about the same age as him. Jiale was sixteen years old, and the boy was also, but he was born a little younger than him. The girl was one year younger, just about fifteen years old.
They all look good, the man is handsome and the woman is pretty.
"Sun Zichu (Sun Qing) has met my brother."
Sun Zichu actually already has a courtesy name.
Jiale originally didn't want to pay attention to it. After meeting him and confirming that he was a member of the Sun family, as long as he had no ulterior motives, he would just arrange to take care of him. It wasn't a big deal.
But this pair of siblings really gave Jiale a surprise.
Especially this grandson Chu, he actually has extraordinary luck. The theory of luck, from low to high, the first level is black luck, which is bad luck, basically it means a sudden death. The second level is white luck, this luck is ordinary, usually one can struggle all his life and become an ordinary person. Some people have white with black, if they have less, they will be poor and die young, and if they have more, they will suffer many disasters and will not go far.
The third level is good luck. This kind of destiny is already good. If you work as a businessman, you will have a small fortune and can make a county rich. If you work as an official, you will have a little luck and can become a county magistrate.
The fourth level is Qingyun, which means a very good fate. One will be very rich and powerful, and can become a county official.
The fifth level is the luck of gold. This kind of destiny is too good. Basically, only the royal family can be born with it. If ordinary people can have this luck, they can become generals by practicing martial arts, and prime ministers by learning literature . Some people with green and gold are considered to be the fourth and a half level, and they can become state officials.
The sixth level is purple luck, which is an even better fate, basically an imperial destiny. Only the royal family in prosperous times and the true dragon in troubled times can have this purple luck.
Although Sun Zichu does not have purple luck, his luck is blue gold, and gold luck accounts for as much as 30%. If he has some help, it is not impossible to completely transform it into gold luck.
The six levels that Jiale mentioned are all innate fortunes, but fortune is not static. Acquired influences can also cause fortune to change.
In other words, even if this Sun Zichu has no luck, he is still a potential state official. If he is given a hand, he will at least become the prime minister of one of the six ministries.
Thinking of this, Jiale also smiled.
Although Jiale is a cultivator, this does not mean that Jiale looks down on the court. Many cultivation forces are hidden in the mountains and rivers. The structure has long been determined and the resources have long been divided up. It is not easy for Jiale to get a piece of the pie from these old forces. However, in addition to these mountains and rivers, the court actually controls a lot of hidden resources. If used well, it can be a great help.
Thinking of this, Jiale also had an idea. People whose innate luck is blue gold don’t have to invest too much to get big returns. It is worth it to just treat it as a casual move.
Not only Sun Zichu, but Sun Qing also has Qingyun. The most important thing is that Sun Qing is not like Sun Zichu. She has the talent for cultivation, and it is a top-level talent for cultivation. Coupled with this Qingyun, after practicing, I am afraid that even if the speed of cultivation is slower than Kunlun, it will not be much slower.
Jia Le had no plan to accept disciples, but he could still teach him some skills and recruit him as a subordinate. If that didn't work, he could send him to a top sect to practice, which would be considered a thorn in his side.
It is impossible for Jiale to join those top forces. Top forces like Longhushan and Laoshan all emphasize orderly inheritance and will not accept outsiders. All disciples are trained since childhood, and there is no such thing as guest officials. Even for Maoshan, Jiale cannot join. The reason is that he cannot explain his origins clearly and his identity as an illegal household cannot be resolved.
Since I can't join, I can only cultivate a force and do things for myself.
Jiale's training requires energy beads, and to subdue demons and monsters, whether it is obtaining information about demons and monsters or taking action, it would be more convenient if he had a force.
This world has the underworld and the heaven. The top level of cultivation in the human world alone is to become a celestial being, which is the realm of returning to the void and merging with the Tao. Jia Le estimates that he will be staying in this world for a very long time, so he has to make some plans.
Although there seems to be something wrong with the heaven and underworld in this world, and although the underworld is not as chaotic as in Uncle Jiu's world, there is obviously a problem. These city gods have too weak control over their own territories.
The reason why Jiale said there was something wrong with the Heavenly Court was that he had been in this world for quite some time, but he felt that he had rarely heard of any divine manifestations from the Heavenly Court in this world, and he had not seen many mountain gods or land gods either. This was very abnormal.
The weakening of Shinto is itself a manifestation of the loss of authority of heaven and hell. In short, something is very wrong. Building up a force is also a layer of armor at a critical moment.
Thinking of this, Jiale also made a decision.
"Sun Zichu, your uncle has given you a courtesy name?"
Hearing Jiale's question, Sun Zichu and Sun Qing couldn't help but get excited. Since Jiale called their father uncle, it meant that he acknowledged them, which meant that Jiale was going to accept them. This was the best news they had heard in a while. God knew how they came to Yangzhou from Jiaozhou.
There were all kinds of wars, disasters, demons and monsters. Even they themselves felt that it was a miracle that they could reach Jinhua County alive.
"Yes, brother. My family was suddenly in trouble. My father gave me a courtesy name in advance and told us about my family affairs. He asked us to come to Yangzhou to live with our relatives. Fortunately, my brother took us in. Otherwise, we don't know what we would do in the future."
Jiale nodded. He guessed that Second Uncle really had no other choice, otherwise, he would never let them come to Yangzhou. Although the two states were adjacent, this world was much larger than Uncle Nine's world, and the distance between them was really not close. Even with water conservancy, it was not easy, not to mention this chaotic world where demons and monsters were rampant.
These two siblings are just lucky in their youth. It would be a miracle for anyone else to be able to leave Jiaozhou.
"Don't think too much. Now that you are here, you are at home. Zichu, I heard from Steward Lin that you have already been admitted as a student. The latest news is that the emperor will hold another examination this year. I will arrange for you to attend school later. You just need to study and take the exam. If you can pass the exam, it will comfort your uncle's spirit in heaven.
As for Xiaoqing, just treat it as your own home. I will ask Butler Lin to arrange it for you later. If you want to learn something or go out for a walk, it’s all fine.”
Seeing Jiale's careful arrangements, Sun Zichu and Sun Qing couldn't help but feel more grateful. Before they came, they had actually imagined various scenarios, either being treated coldly or being driven out. Even if they were accepted, they were determined to just provide some financial support. However, they never expected that Jiale would be so generous in making arrangements for them.
Thinking of the recent hardships, the brother and sister couldn't help but wipe away their tears.
"Thank you for not abandoning us, brother. We will definitely be obedient and repay you double in the future."
Jiale also smiled. These two kids were simple-minded, but Jiale really didn't have any bad intentions. After all, he had never planned to kick them out from the beginning. He just saw that they were more valuable, so he gave them better treatment.
Let Butler Lin take the two of them downstairs to make arrangements.
Jiale continued to practice behind closed doors. He gained quite a lot of energy beads this time, and he wanted to see if he could break through to the Yuanshen realm.
In the Yin God realm, one attracts the earth soul and absorbs the spirit; in the Yang God realm, one attracts the sky soul and passes through sixty-nine heavenly tribulations. When one reaches the Yuan God realm, one completely merges the three souls and seven spirits, without distinguishing between yin and yang, and becomes one. From then on, the body and soul are separated, and there is no priority.
Before reaching the Yuanshen realm, cultivators focus on the body, with the spirit as a supplement. If the body is damaged, the person will die. Even in the Yin Shen and Yang Shen realms, where the Yin Shen and Yang Shen can leave the body, they can only take over another body to cultivate again, or become ghosts. It is impossible to cultivate the fundamental law again and become an immortal, which is actually no different from being dead.
But it is different in the realm of Yuanshen. At the realm of Yuanshen, there is no distinction between body and soul. Even if the soul is separated from the physical body, it can continue to survive, and there is no restriction on having to return to the physical body after a certain period of time. Of course, the longer the separation time, the more the physical body will rot. In the practice of dual cultivation of sex and life, sex is the soul, and life is the physical body, with sex coming first. When the soul leaves the body, the body will lose its activity and become unusable after a long time.
However, when a cultivator reaches the realm of Primordial Spirit, his Primordial Spirit can cultivate independently.
For example, after Jia Le breaks through the realm of the primordial spirit, he can discard his physical body and continue to practice the Shangqing Dadong Sutra with his primordial spirit. He can even become an immortal without any problem. Moreover, when he achieves true immortality, he can also condense an immortal body.
In the cultivation world, there is even a faction that supports the cultivation of the soul alone. That is, when breaking through the soul realm, they will voluntarily abandon the physical body and cultivate the soul alone. This is commonly known as the lineage of the wandering immortals.
However, the Yuanshen realm is different from the Yinshen and Yangshen realms in that it requires the most accumulation. Cultivators will often stay in the Yangshen realm for hundreds of years before breaking through, because the fusion of the three souls and seven spirits is too difficult and requires too much accumulation.
The first step in integration is the seven souls.
Now that Jiale had the energy, he did not delay and began to practice directly, starting with the fusion of the seven souls. When he broke through the Yin God realm before, the seven souls had already been absorbed into the Earth Soul by Jiale. However, that state was like ping-pong balls in a jar. What Jiale had to do now was to merge these small balls into one, and then let it combine with the jar into one, and finally the three souls would become one.
Although it sounds simple, it is really difficult to do.
After all, that is a soul, not dough. You can mold it however you want, but there is no way to repair it if it is damaged.
Jia Le needs to use energy to stimulate the vibration of the soul, so that the two souls can resonate with each other, find the common point, and then complete it bit by bit. If there is not enough energy in the middle, he will give up halfway and have to start all over again. This is why it is difficult to achieve the Yuanshen realm.
In the Kunlun Mirror, energy beads began to break open, and powerful energy was released towards Jiale.
Jing Soul and Ying Soul, Jia Le still starts with these two souls. They have been introduced in Maoshan classics. After thousands of tests by predecessors, the combination of Jing Soul and Ying Soul is the easiest.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
The Sun Mansion was as peaceful as before. Jiale let the paper man appear outside every day, while he practiced in seclusion.
Under Lin Ting's arrangement, Sun Zichu entered the academy in Jinhua County to study and prepare for the college entrance examination next month. This world implements the imperial examination system, which is similar to what Jia Le had seen in his previous life. It is also divided into county examination, provincial examination, college examination, and palace examination.
Those who passed the county examination were called tongsheng, those who passed the provincial examination were called xiucai, those who passed the academy examination were called juren, and those who passed the palace examination were called jinshi. The top three jinshi were the zhuangyuan, bangyan, and tanhua.
When Sun Zichu was in Jiaozhou, he had already passed the county examination, also known as the boy's examination. Now it is the special examination period, and next month will be the provincial and autumn examinations. The provincial examinations are all held in the county government, and Sun Zichu will go to Jinling County to take the examination. It must be said that Sun Zichu has really inherited the excellent genes of the Sun family in terms of studying. Although entering the county academy is an activity of the Sun family, after entering, Sun Zichu really worked hard, which made the teachers like him very much and believe that he will definitely be on the list.
Sun Qing stayed at the Sun family for a month and gradually got used to it and was no longer so reserved.
News spread quickly in the county. Two people, a young master and a young lady, moved into the Sun family, so naturally everyone in the county knew about it. Sun Qing went out several times and was recognized by many young ladies from wealthy families, intentionally or unintentionally. Gradually, she formed her own circle.
As the number of refugees in the city increased, the county magistrate Ye Zirong asked each family to share the pressure, and the Sun family was no exception.
After Lin Ting consulted Jiale, he accepted a lot of refugees. The Sun family had a lot of business, and it was just a matter of having a few more people to feed. Jiale also asked Wansheng to find a hundred people in good health among the refugees to serve as servants, and let Wansheng train them. This made Wansheng very excited. The Sun family was good, but they were too idle. Now they finally had some work to do.
As time passed, the blood moon in the sky over Jinhua County that day and the strange phenomenon of the moon being eclipsed by a heavenly dog ​​gradually became less and less popular.
In the room.
Jiale exhaled a breath and finally ended the one-month training.
However, he had to stop. More than a thousand energy beads were used up by Jiale. The Yingpo, Jingpo and Zhongchupo had already merged. Tianchong, Linghui, Qipo and Lipo had already merged. More than a thousand energy beads were just to allow the three Yang souls and the four Yin souls to merge separately. The next step required the fusion of the three Yang souls and the four Yin souls, and then the three souls.
Looking at the speed of energy consumption, Jia Le finally understood why the classics said that this realm consumes a huge amount of energy.
Even though Jiale has extraordinary comprehension, it is still difficult to master the rhythm when vibrating. Sometimes all you need is a flash of inspiration, which means you have enough energy. Otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve such results. In other words, it is only because of the energy beads. Otherwise, it would really take decades or even hundreds of years to waste.
"Mah-mah-mah!"
When Jiale was practicing, he did not let the seven fire crows sit idle. They took the form of ravens, hiding during the day and coming out at night, hunting and killing the Five-Power Gods in Jinling County. After a month, all the Five-Power Gods in Jinling County were gone, and Jiale also gained a lot of energy beads.
Get up and leave the house, it's time to continue obtaining energy beads.
After putting away the paper figurines, Jiale called Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and Wan Sheng, and prepared to go take a look at the street.
The Tower of Immortals.
This is the Sun family's restaurant, and also the largest restaurant in Jinhua County. It is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Dongcheng.
This was also the first time that Jiale came here. Not only was the name of this Qunxianlou loud, but the decoration inside was also luxurious. It was a seven-story attic with a membership system. After entering the Qunxianlou, the guests were allowed to dine on which floor based on their status, whether they were new or old customers, and how much they had accumulated.
The building not only has the best chefs and delicious food in Jinhua County, but also many artists and storytellers. It can be said to be the place where high-end people in Jinhua County are most willing to come.
"Master!"
The shopkeeper of Qunxianlou is also an elder of the Sun family, so he is naturally very familiar with Jiale.
"Master, the seventh floor is still vacant. I'll have someone arrange it for you right away."
Jia Le shook his head upon hearing this, "No need to go to the seventh floor, just find me a quiet box by the window on the third floor."
The seventh floor was too high. He wanted to find a place to look around Jinhua County to see if there was any idea of ​​how to obtain energy beads. He was not here to eat and drink. There were quite a few energy beads waiting for him in Xiangshan, but the jackal king was probably not killed by Fahai. There were tens of thousands of wolf cubs in his den, and there was also a female wolf in the Yuanshen realm. It would be a bit risky for him to rush over alone.
It’s better to wait a little longer. After he breaks through the Yuanshen realm, you can give it a try.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Although I don't know why Jiale didn't sit on the seventh floor and insisted on sitting on the third floor, but I just listened to what the young master said.
"Master, should we let Qingkui come over and sing?"
Sun Yan used to come to the Qunxian Tower often. After he sat down, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu started to make arrangements.
Jiale searched for Qingkui's information. It seemed that she was the best-looking artist in the Qunxianlou. She was very good at dancing and singing. Sun Yan had always ordered Qingkui when he came to the Qunxianlou before.
His eyes were already looking outside and he nodded casually. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu had received the order, so Jia Le didn't need to worry about it anymore.
As the most prosperous street in Jinhua County, there are many people coming and going in front of the Qunxian Tower.
"Pears for sale, pears for sale!"
Jiale looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man pushing a two-wheeled cart and hawking pineapples on the cart, which looked extremely delicious.
However, what attracted Jiale was not the pear vendor, but a Taoist priest who was walking towards the pear vendor.
The Taoist priest was wearing tattered clothes. When he walked, people on the street unconsciously walked around him. However, the Taoist priest had a clear goal. He went straight to the pear vendor, staring at the pears on the cart and even drooling.
"Brother, can you please give me a pear?"
When the peddler saw the Taoist priest in tattered clothes coming over, he immediately showed a look of disdain, and intuitively felt that he was unlucky. You know, the reason why he came to the East City, the most prosperous street, to sell pears was because the people here are the richest people in Jinhua County. They are not short of money and are generous. His pears are more expensive than those sold in other places. He couldn't even bear to eat them himself, so he gave one to the Taoist priest. What was he thinking?
"Go away, go away! If you want to eat pears, buy them with money!"
Even at the bottom of society, there are class distinctions. It is obvious that this peddler feels that he is one level higher than the stinky Taoist priest in front of him.
The Taoist priest, however, persisted.
"Just give me a pear, please!"
Seeing that he refused to leave, the vendor flew into a rage and started to curse: "Where did you come from, you stinky Taoist beggar? Get out of here now, or I'll make you pay!"
The Taoist priest was not angry when he was scolded. He just grumbled, with a smile on his face, "Isn't it just a pear? There is a whole cart of pears. It won't be a big loss for you to eat one. Why are you so stingy? People as stingy as you will never have a good ending!"
The hawker was too lazy to pay attention to the Taoist priest. He couldn't even afford to eat, so why would he care about someone cursing at him?
He snorted and ignored the Taoist priest.
At this time, one of the bystanders couldn't bear to watch it anymore and said, "He looks so pitiful, you can just pick a smaller one for him."
It's best to do this kind of favor verbally. After all, you don't have to spend any money, and there are many people who are willing to speak up for you.
But this vendor has been selling things for a long time, so he won’t fall for it. If he were thin-skinned, he would not be able to do business and would starve to death.
"Humph, since you feel sorry for him, just buy him one, otherwise don't say anything."
After saying this, the vendor was even more angry. Needless to say, after such a commotion, his business would definitely be bad. His popularity was ruined. It was all caused by the Taoist priest. So he cursed at the Taoist priest again: "Get out of here! Be careful or I'll beat you up!"
As he spoke, he raised his fist.
Jiale also laughed when he saw this scene. It was indeed the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. He could encounter stories from the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio wherever he went.
That Taoist priest was no ordinary Taoist priest. His aura was very similar to the Taoist priest of Mount Laoshan that Jiale had seen in Uncle Jiu's world. His strength was also not weak, and he had already reached the Yuanshen realm. It seemed that he was about to break through to the Return to Void realm, so he walked out of the mountain gate and traveled around the mortal world.
In fact, there are many such cultivators in the world of cultivation. What the cultivators accumulate to break through is not only magic power, but also the cultivation of their state of mind.
If we compare cultivation to building a building, then the cultivation of the mind is the foundation, and magic power is the building material; neither of them can be missing.
Especially when breaking through to a higher realm.
The shopkeeper of the Qunxian Building heard the noisy noise outside and looked over to see what was going on. After knowing what had happened, he sent his shop assistant to buy a pear for the Taoist priest with money.
This pear vendor was right in front of the Qunxian Building, and was attracting more and more people, almost blocking the entrance to the building. This was affecting business greatly. At this time, his young master was still watching from above, and the shopkeeper was also afraid that Jiale would have a bad impression of him.
