Chapter 646 The rich man
"By the way, why are you still staying in the county yamen?" Qi Bai suddenly asked when he thought of this.
"To be honest, we forgot to bring our money when we went out, and we had no place to stay." Li Xiao said awkwardly.
"So, go to my house, I'm the only one in my house." Qi Bai said.
Qi Bai brought the three of them to a courtyard. Although they were dilapidated, several houses were clean.
Su Tong and Xiao Yuan, who had not slept all night, fell asleep while touching the bed. Li Xiao sat in the yard and started chatting with Qi Bai.
"Shuiling Mountain really has the strength to oppose the entire Qingshui Kingdom?" Li Xiao asked.
"That's not. After all, there are so many mountains in Qingshui Country. The saints of Qingshui Country are so numerous that they can't count them with one hand. However, the mountains are high and far away. If Qingshui Country really wants to come to capture Shuling Mountain, it will definitely cost you. Shuling Mountain occupies the right time, place, and people. It is not easy to really conquer Shuling Mountain. The saints and masters on Shuling Mountain are not vegetarians."
"In fact, what Qingshui Kingdom really fears is not the saint of the Eighth Realm. There is also a seventh realm warrior on Shuiling Mountain, who is only forty years old. This person is said to be expected to become a martial saint." Qi Bai replied.
Li Xiao is now in the seventh realm. In addition to being able to sense the supreme divine power contained in the Qi-raising gourd, he feels that he is also powerful enough, but not strong enough to make a country scared.
"Seventh level warrior?" Li Xiao asked.
"A warrior can reach the seventh level before he is not confused, and is even expected to reach the tenth level of saint. A warrior at the seventh level is enough to defeat a cultivator in the Fuyao Realm. Of course, a cultivator who reaches the Fuyao Realm is no longer called a cultivator, but a saint. The seventh level of warrior at the Shuiling Mountain has a firm mind and is said to be about to break the mirror. If he reaches the eighth level, he may be the strongest man of the Nine-level Saint King will be suppressed and beaten by him." Qi Bai explained.
Li Xiao doesn't even understand now whether he is a warrior or a cultivator? However, when he reached the seventh level, the sand soldiers were indeed quite surprised.
"According to the words of the Lord, at least two saints need to conquer Shuiling Mountain?" Li Xiao asked.
"No, two are far from enough. Alas, it's useless to say this now. It is said that Shuiling Mountain has sent someone to Beijing, and that person seems to be hiking to Beijing. This time it will not take a short time to go back and forth." Qi Bai said.
"Then there was still a peaceful life." Li Xiao nodded and said.
"That's right, but this period has been enough to make arrangements for Qingshui Country. The more saints the Qingshui Country moves, the greater the range of battles will affect. Of course, I still hope that the fight will not start, and the gods and the people will suffer." Qi Bai said.
Qi Bai said this very reasonably. Moreover, through a brief conversation, Li Xiao discovered that this young county magistrate had a long-term vision.
However, Qi Bai's current ability can only pray that Shuiling Mountain and the court will be in good order and not cause chaos.
"You are in Baiyang County, remember to act low-key. Now not only the county magistrate has arrived, but also several forces have come. Now, someone is pulled out from the streets of Baiyang County, and he may be a strong man." Qi Bai said.
Qi Bai thought again, isn’t this man named Li Xiao also an inconspicuous strong man?
Li Xiao patted Qi Bai's shoulder and said, "The same thing is true. In the future, if a battle breaks out, I will do my best to protect Baiyang County."
This storm was caused by Li Xiao. If there was no such punch, Shuilingshan would not have been suspicious, nor would there be this unclear dispute.
The next day, after Su Tong and Xiao Yuan woke up, Li Xiao decided not to stay in Baiyang County and wait and continue moving forward.
The monks of Shuiling Mountain who were hiking to Shangjing would not arrive too soon. In the future, the dispute in Baiyang County will really break out, and the news will definitely spread throughout the country.
Qi Bai personally sent Li Xiao and the other two to the east gate of Baiyang County, and gave Li Xiao and the other three some fine silver as money.
"I wish you a good trip and goodbye to you." Qi Bai said with fists and bowed to Li Xiao and the other two.
"Sir, I will see you again in the future." Li Xiao hugged her fists and turned around and walked towards the suburbs.
...
Yin Zheng, who came down from Shuiling Mountain, did not stop in Baiyang County and went all the way east.
Outside a village called Zhangcun, Yin Zheng, dressed in plain clothes, met a short and dirty man.
"Master, I haven't eaten for several days. Please pity me." The dirty man grabbed Yin Zheng's clothes and asked Yin Zheng for help weakly.
Seeing the man's miserable appearance, Yin Zheng felt pity and took out his money bag and gave the dirty man a ingot of silver.
"It's a good meal, I can only help you get here. I have to travel thousands of miles for the rest." Yin Zheng said.
"Thank you, Master, I wish you good fortune and a hundred years of life!" The dirty man turned around happily with the silver.
After turning his head, a hint of greed appeared on the corner of the man's mouth.
He seems to be dressed so poorly, but he is still a rich man. He only takes a ingot of silver. If such a fat pig, who will you kill if you don’t?
The dirty man quickly ran back to the village and gathered with several men in the village.
"Look, what!"
"Damn it, you're rich! Where did you come from?"
"Hehe, a rich man is here. I think he must be passing through this village. I will hold him back later. You stole his purse, and there is probably a lot of money inside." The dirty man said.
As soon as the few people gathered, they waited in the village for Yin Zheng to appear at any time.
Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, Yin Zheng walked into the village without any speed.
Dirty Xixi said, the man rushed out from one side and hit Yin Zheng. Yin Zheng took the opportunity to support Dirty Xixi's man.
"Wow, it's you, Master! I'm sorry, I'm so reckless, I didn't hurt you, did you?" The dirty man laughed.
"It's okay, be careful when walking." Yin Zheng said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I must pay attention, I must pay attention! Master, you see it is getting late, and you can't walk out of Zhangcun for a whole night. Otherwise, I will provide you with a convenience. Master, you can rest here for a night?" The dirty man suggested.
Yin Zheng looked at the sky and it was indeed getting late. He came down from Shuiling Mountain and had never rested. For Yin Zheng, resting was just a matter of sitting cross-legged for a quarter or two. However, he had never used any spiritual energy, and was not tired in his body, and was also a little tired in his spirit.
"It's good, I'm disturbing it there." Yin Zheng nodded and said.
"Whether! The master is my benefactor. If you can let you stay, you will be shining!"
The dirty man took Yin Zheng to a village and walked into a ruined temple where the ceiling had been broken and the Buddha statue collapsed.
"Master, I have been without fathers and mothers since I was a child. I grew up in this dilapidated temple. Isn't it dislike me?" asked the dirty man.
Yin Zheng walked to the collapsed Buddha statue, reached out and grabbed the Buddha statue. He originally wanted to help it up, but when he thought of the master's advice when he went down the mountain, he had to give up.
"Hey, Master, don't worry about him, it will be here after it falls. Even if it is upright, he may not be sure to bless the villagers in this area." The dirty man said quickly.
Yin Zheng fell into deep thought. Shouldn’t the Buddha statue be erected? It seems that it has been a long time, but no one cares about it?
"Master, what are you thinking? Why don't you rest first and I'll buy some food for the master." The dirty man said.
Yin Zheng nodded, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes gently.
Not long after, several people sneaked in, holding stone sticks and so on.
The dirty man came to Yin Zheng lightly, reached out and quietly took away the money bag on Yin Zheng.
Then, the dirty man made a gesture, and the group of people immediately retreated.
Several people gathered in a pile, and the dirty man poured out all the money in his pocket.
"Good guy! This is such a local rich man! I guess he is more rich than Mr. Zhang!" One of them stared at the money on the ground, and his saliva was about to flow.
There are only two or three ingots of silver on the ground, and the rest are real gold! This is the money that they will never get in their lifetime!
