There are no years to practice, but there are thousands of years in this world.
When Fang Chang opened his silent eyes, time had already flown by silently.
Thirty-five years, half an ordinary person's life.
For him, it was just a relatively long retreat.
There was vicissitudes of life, indifference, and a hint of memory in his eyes.
After arriving in the Jinxiu Realm, he first slept in his body for three years in Xiama Village, Jingguo, a place of extraordinary spirituality. Finally, he adapted to the speed of time a hundred times in the Jinxiu Realm, merged with his physical body, and started a long road of spiritual practice.
In order to hide himself from the city, he hid in Qingguo Cailian Lake and worshiped it for more than 20 years. However, the dispute between Shifangjian Pavilion and Wanyao Palace broke the tranquility.
His restless heart and frustration with nowhere to vent made him drunk and dreamy in the Qingguo capital for half a year. Unintentionally, he got involved in the red thread and provoked the witch, and stayed there for five years.
Later, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Heavenly Witch, he traveled thousands of miles to the Jiuhuang Emperor and became a small county captain. He spent more than forty years safely under the protection of the Emperor.
It turned out that without realizing it, he had been in the Splendid World for nearly eighty years.
"Fortunately, it's all worth it."
"Appraisal."
With a silent recitation, the personal information panel that had not been seen for a long time was revealed.
——————
Name: Fang Chang
Race: Human race
Level:60(889e/890e)
Realm: Nascent Soul
Occupation: Overlord LV55, Puppet Master LV60...
Physique: Puppet-controlling spirit body - share the attributes of the puppet, enhance the puppet's compatibility, and give the puppet spirituality
The information on the panel disappeared in a flash, and Fang Chang did not pay special attention to it.
As his cultivation level improved, Fang Chang gradually began to understand everything, and the appraisal technique could only be a simple summary of his own progress.
If everything in the world could be expressed using numerical values, then the world would be too boring.
He no longer has a superstitious belief in authority, and now regards the identification technique more as an auxiliary thing and a reference.
It is better to have no books at all than to believe in them all.
After all, true strength can only be known after a battle.
Fang Chang closed his eyes again and sorted out the results of the retreat. The abyss-like magic power rose like the morning sun, and then quickly disappeared into the abyss.
…
Outside the hospital.
A little girl with braids that towered up to the sky, like a girl carved from pink and jade, stirred around in the pool unconsciously with her chubby bare feet, bringing up a bunch of water splashes.
There were groups of fat carps in the pond, swimming around the little girl's feet, scratching her soles from time to time.
At this time, the little girl would step on it unceremoniously, kick it far away, and snort angrily:
"I've known for a long time that only dead skinned feet will attract random kisses. You guys with no eyesight still dare to kiss my feet."
As she spoke, she looked expectantly at the dull-looking middle-aged man next to her and asked:
"Ah Da Ah Da, when will the eldest master be released from seclusion?"
She has been asking this question for many years, and even though she knows the answer, she still asks it every day.
Because she firmly believes that Ah Da will give a different answer one day.
Just like in the past, Ah Da could only remain silent.
But now he can speak like a normal person.
Then I saw Adam's dull face squeeze out a smile and said:
"Just today."
The power of time made the puppet Ada, who originally only had a weak spirituality, learn to laugh. This is the spirituality born from the dead things themselves.
There is a special word to describe this kind of creature - monster.
The little girl originally thought that the answer would be the same today, so she nodded and said:
"Oh, I know, I believe the eldest master will not abandon me."
Then her movements froze, and she recalled Ada's words in her mind.
"today?"
She stood up abruptly, then with a cry, leaped into the air, her body shape immediately changed, and a large golden carp with perfect proportions that looked like it was carved from gold and jade fell into the pond with a loud sound, causing large splashes of water.
"The eldest master must like the way I look now."
The big golden carp spit out a series of colorful bubbles from its mouth, floating in the sky above the pool, making the pool surface colorful, just like its mood at the moment.
This little girl is none other than the big carp bubble that has transformed into a human form.
The reason why it can transform into a human form in the golden elixir realm is not only because it is a natural heterogeneous species, but also because the storage ring left to it by Fang Chang contains an elixir called the Transformation Grass.
It's just that maybe it's because he didn't have enough realm or the elixir didn't have enough potency. After his transformation, Paopao was only eight or nine years old and had some baby fat.
Bubble didn't wait too long, and the door that had been sealed for decades finally opened again.
Fang Chang, whose face had hardly changed at all, walked out slowly, with a faint smile on his face, but also a sense of indifference that could repel people thousands of miles away.
It is almost Fang Chang’s habit to feed the fish first before leaving the customs.
He walked to the fish pond, looked at the colorful bubbles covering almost half of the pond, and saw the big golden carp with perfect size, happily spitting bubbles at him.
Even Fang Chang couldn't help but blink.
"No, where is my big fat fish?"
"Bold! What kind of evildoer dares to attack my fish!"
Fang Chang immediately threw out a burst of magic power.
But when the seemingly sharp magic power entered the water, it softened instantly, holding up the bubbles and coming to Fang Chang.
Fang Chang gently flicked Bubble's head and said softly:
"You little guy, why have you wronged yourself and become like this? It's very tiring, right?"
Only then did Bubble realize that the old man was joking with him.
It was originally cheering for the big master when he came out of seclusion, but now for some unknown reason, he suddenly felt extremely aggrieved.
Just like a wanderer who is alone outside, he is so strong, but suddenly bursts into tears after receiving greetings from his family.
"Wow wow wow..."
Light golden tears fell down one by one, and Bubbles cried loudly, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances, longings and pains he had experienced in the past thirty-five years.
"Master, Paopao misses you so much!"
Under Fang Chang's surprised eyes, Bubble suddenly turned into a pink little girl, like a facehugger, lying on Fang Chang's head, crying loudly, with saliva and snot all over Fang Chang's head.
Fang Chang, who was a little sad at first: "..."
People's joys and sorrows are not the same.
At this moment, he just wanted to put some bubbles on his head to reduce the runny nose.
It took quite a while.
Bubbles probably had enough crying, so he wiped his square hair sheepishly.
"I'm sorry, sir, the bubbles made you dirty."
Fang Changzhang said with a stiff smile: "It's okay, but after crying this time, you will be a big child, and you are not allowed to cry again in the future."
He held chubby Bubbles, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and wiped away the snot under her nose, like a loving father and a brother.
As soon as the magic power passed through his body, all the dirt on his body was swept away.
The child's troubles went away as quickly as they came. Seeing Fang Chang venting all his grievances, Paopao returned to her innocent and lively nature, clamoring for the eldest father to give her delicious food.
Although this is a very old child, as long as there is no external pressure, she can be a lifelong child.
After transforming into a human form, Paopao left the water and preferred to stay by Fang Chang's side.
Fang Chang didn't stop him, he just left her a good memory.
…
Thirty-five years of great changes.
Except for some special groups of people, many people in Fufeng City have forgotten that there is such a county captain in the yamen.
Ordinarily, this behavior of not going to work and not asking for leave for thirty-five years would have been enough to remove Fang Chang from his position, but who would let him have someone above him.
Therefore, the name of the county captain has never been changed, but the power of the county captain has been divided up by various parties in the county government.
Fufeng City, which was once silent, once again became a mixed bag after the county captain had not been seen for a long time.
After all, not every county magistrate has the confidence and strength of Fang Chang. Most can only imitate Magistrate Lu, join in the evil deeds, and reap their own benefits.
Fufeng City, which once brought a glorious resume to several county magistrates for a short time, has once again become its original appearance.
When Fang Chang walked out of the door, the spies who once guarded the door had already turned into various food stalls.
It's quite popular with Bubbles.
Her courage is actually very small. Even after transforming, she usually doesn't dare to go out. She has to ask the puppet Ada to buy whatever she wants.
However, a puppet was just a puppet, too rigid. Although it got better later, at that time, Paopao had already begun to enter the stage of striving for strength.
Now that Fang Chang is out of seclusion, Paopao becomes greedy again unconsciously.
She bought a bunch of them at almost every stall, and the stall owners also liked this pretty little girl. Of course, they also liked Fang Chang who paid the money at the back.
So in addition to buying them from Paopao, the stall owners would also give one or two items as gifts. I asked Fang Chang when they moved here and why I had never seen them before.
Fang Chang casually said that he had just moved here in the past two days, so he took Paopao for a walk and ate, and walked slowly to the gate of the county government office.
A person must have a beginning and an end. Fang Chang felt that since he was leaving, he naturally had to make a break with the former county captain, so as not to occupy the latrine.
He is also a very polite and well-behaved person.
As a result, as soon as I arrived at the gate of the county government office, someone stopped me.
"The county government is an important place, and idlers are not allowed to enter."
Fang Chang threw out a token and said: "I am the county captain of Fufeng City. Please ask the current county magistrate to come see me."
The concierge who received Fang Chang's token was stunned, inexplicably not daring to stop him.
When Fang Chang walked into the county government office, the concierge quickly shouted:
"Hey, the county magistrate is reviewing a case. Don't wander around."
After finishing speaking, he weighed the sign in his hand and muttered:
"Lord County Captain? I haven't seen him for twenty years since I came here. I don't know whether this brand is real or fake.
I need to find an old man to help me take a look."
…
Above the court.
The current county magistrate of Fufeng City is tall, strong, and short in stature. He has a pair of mung bean eyes, like a mouse, and is a famous county magistrate who confiscates homes.
Anyone who wants him to do something, whether human or ghost, must leave money behind.
And because of the square length, Fufeng City is on a special list above, and there are few people to take care of it no matter how hard it is.
Therefore, Gao Daqiang was cautious at first after he took office. Later, after discovering the specialness of Fufeng City, he became even more unscrupulous. Now his reputation in Fufeng City is even greater than that of Fang Chang who had been there for thirty-five years.
Then a gavel sounded.
Gao Daqiang shouted:
"Now the evidence is conclusive, the murderer is you, Li Erwen, because you coveted Wang Li, the wife of your classmate and friend Wang Qiangren, so you secretly killed her.
Thanks to Liu Yong, an enthusiastic member of the public, who reported the case, I was able to find out the real murderer.
Now that I have sentenced you to death in accordance with the law, what else do you have to say?"
In the hall, a young man who had been beaten into a human shape screamed when he heard his sentence. Upon closer inspection, he saw that his tongue had been cut off, his hands had also been cut off, and his Dantian magic power had been destroyed.
The mouth cannot speak, the hands cannot write, the magic power is gone, and even spiritual magic cannot be released.
Now there is no reason to speak.
The wolf-like government servants on the side brought the complaint, pressed the young man's hand, and put a bloody red mark on the verdict.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
A richly dressed and imposing young man bowed his hands in front of the hall, his eyes unscrupulously looking at a beautiful woman in dutiful clothes who was kneeling at the foot of the hall.
"Ha ha!!"
Gao Daqiang also laughed very happily when he thought that he had received those 10,000 spirit stones.
"Thanks to Mr. Liu for identifying the culprit, otherwise it would not be easy to solve this case."
"Woohoo!!!"
Only the young man struggled hard, and the resentment in his body almost condensed into substance.
"It's really noisy. Come here, take him to jail and behead him at the entrance to the vegetable market tomorrow."
The county magistrate slapped the gavel again and followed his words.
"I didn't expect that after I had been in seclusion for so many years, the government office would be in such a bad state again, that it would be worse than Magistrate Lu."
"Who is it? How dare you break into the court and no one comes to take it down!"
Gao Daqiang and Mung Bean looked outside the hall, where a young man in white was holding a cute little girl, and his eyes suddenly sparkled.
At this moment, the killing stick in the hand of an old yamen servant in the hall trembled and fell to the ground with a clang.
He fell to his knees directly, not daring to raise his head.
"I have met the county captain in my humble position!"
When Gao Daqiang heard this, he immediately remembered the rumors about this person. Every time a big family in the city was dissatisfied, he could use this person's reputation to convince everyone.
At this moment, his heart moved, and he quickly walked to the stage, cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"It turns out it's the county captain. I'm currently investigating a case. Why don't you go to the back office for a cup of tea? I'll be here later."
Fang Chang looked at the old Yamen servant and said:
"How many old people are there in the Yamen?"
The old yamen officer replied: "If I tell you, sir, there are about a dozen people left."
Fang Chang nodded and said: "That's enough. Let them go out and tell the news that I am back. Those who deserve to die but are not dead, let them bring their heads to the Yamen themselves."
Otherwise, none of them would have to live."
"Yes, yes."
The old government servant seemed to have seen the bloody storm of the past again, and hurriedly ran out.
County Magistrate Gao Daqiang looked displeased: "Fang County Lieutenant, right? I am the county magistrate. You overstepped your rank and issued the order. Do you think you are too disrespectful of me?"
Fang Chang smiled and pointed out.
Gao Daqiang's head exploded like a watermelon, and his foundation-building cultivation was no different from that of an ant at this moment.
"yes."
Without even looking at the headless corpses on the ground, Fang Chang casually nodded at two shivering government officials and said:
"Don't be idle any longer. There should be some retired old people left in the yamen. Call them all back together."
"Yes!"
The government officials seemed to be running away for their lives, but it was unclear whether they really went out to deliver orders.
But as the news breaks, people will naturally come back.
Fang Chang couldn't help but shook his head: "I didn't expect that something like this would happen when I came back to resign. I'm sorry."
