After arriving at the Yamen, the task announced by the county magistrate today was to continue to "track down" the murderer of Zhao Mengshan's assassination.
So Shen Lang followed Zhu Hu to the streets, wandering around the streets as usual, pretending to be visiting and investigating.
Zhu Hu said nonchalantly while eating the meat buns:
"Let's check, the murderer is a professional killer, very professional! He must have disappeared on the night of the crime! Maybe he has received the reward and is enjoying himself in the capital. Where can I find him?
"Right now, we are just making a casual gesture to show that we are still investigating, but there is really no need to take it too seriously. The person who died is not a thing anyway..."
Shen Lang agreed:
"Brother Zhu is right. Then, why didn't I see any reward notices when I was in the Yamen before? Don't we have any bounties on criminal thieves, bandits or bandits in our Changsheng County?"
"Why did the Jiangyang thieves come to Changsheng County? Yingzhou Fucheng is the place of heroes and wind and clouds! Any strong man who has some ability and a little confidence in himself will go to Fucheng to hang out. At worst, he will go to the more prosperous coastal counties.
Why bother to come to a small and broken place like ours in Changsheng County? As for the bandits who dominate the mountains...it is said that before the opening of the sea twenty-five years ago, there were a few groups in our Changsheng County, but after the opening of the sea, they disappeared."
"Were all wiped out?"
Zhu Hu explained with a smile:
"That's not true. It is said that at that time, the bandits in Changsheng County were instigated by someone, and they all went to sea in Nanyang. It is said that they all changed their jobs and became pirates, but some old people who went to Yingzhou Prefecture said that 80% of them were pirates.
He was deceived into working as a coolie in a plantation or mine in Nanyang.
"In the following years, in our Changsheng County, there were snitches working in single gangs, bandits on the run who got a lot of work, and evil gentry like the Wang family who were called gentry but were actually evil gentry, but they never appeared again.
The bandits and thieves who took over the mountains and became kings, robbing homes and homes.
"Today's reality does not allow them to exist. Although Changsheng County is located in the northwest mountainous area of Yingzhou Peninsula, with many barren mountains and wild ridges, it does not have a dangerous terrain where one man is in charge. Firearms have developed greatly in the past 20 years, and bandits and bandits dare to take the lead. We
You dare to send out troops with artillery to attack. How can a mere bandit stand firm in the stronghold in front of a volley of artillery?"
"..."
As a result, Shen Lang's way of earning money by arresting gangsters or attacking bandits and collecting bounties was cut off.
Zhu Hu got into a good mood and continued talking:
"On the other hand, in Yingzhou Fucheng, I heard that there are many gangsters, gangsters, foreign criminals, pirates ashore and other gangsters. I heard that the reward notice wall in front of the gate of the government office is never used all year round. It is posted every day.
It’s full…”
However, with my current strength, it would take a lot of effort to kill a seventh-level warrior, so I really don’t dare to go to Yingzhou Fucheng to eat like a bounty hunter.
Xiao Zhao once overheard Zhang Wenbin mention that the capital city of Yingzhou was a mixed bag of fish and dragons, with powerful dragons of all kinds, and it was like a chaotic dance of demons.
The road of offering rewards is not feasible, and if you want to rob the rich and give to the poor, this is not a good time to take action.
Could it be that as the majestic Lord of all demons, my path to cultivation will be blocked by a few pieces of silver?
Shen Lang was thinking with a frown on his face, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind:
"It seems that besides buying the plant medicinal materials needed for cultivation, I have other ways to get them!"
Among his pile of demonic holy magic, there is the "Qing Emperor's Secret of Immortality".
After practicing, fairies are not only good at finding elixirs, but they can also cultivate spiritual flowers and fairy grasses and refine elixirs and elixirs!
"Research it carefully after you go back... If the 'Qing Emperor's Secret of Immortality' has any success, you can save money and cultivate the little demon seed medicine at the same time!"
The reason why I still have to save money is because there are many animal medicinal materials in the medicated bath formula, ointments and oils.
The little demon who practices the "Qing Emperor's Secret of Immortality" specializes in finding and cultivating plant-based elixirs.
Therefore, even if you enlighten a little demon that can grow medicinal materials, animal medicinal materials still need to be bought with money, or you need to find and capture them yourself.
"It seems that the Dian Jing Pen space is not just a storage space. Although the floor of the space is now barren, it is actually covered with a layer of black soil. Now it seems that it should be a portable medicine garden specially prepared for the demon master!
"
Although the space of Dian Jingbi is only as big as a basketball gym and does not seem to be able to grow many elixirs, Shen Lang does not need to grow too many elixirs.
You only need to plant the most expensive and rarest main drugs in each realm's medicinal formulas. The rest of the main drugs and auxiliary drugs can be purchased with money.
This not only saves him a lot of money for purchasing, but he can even make money by selling some of the precious medicinal materials if necessary.
And as the little demon who practices the "Qing Emperor's Secret of Immortality" becomes more advanced, he will be able to refine elixirs and precious medicines in the future, which will not only help his practice, but also sell the unused ones to make money.
Thinking about it this way, Shen Lang felt that maybe he could make a fortune just by selling medicine, and he would no longer have to worry about financial pressure.
Zhu Hu: "What are you thinking about? Why are you laughing like this suddenly?"
Shen Lang wiped his face and suppressed his smile:
"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something happy."
Zhu Hu asked with great interest:
"What are you so happy about? Tell us and let's be happy together!"
Shen Lang: "Well, it's not a big deal. I just suddenly feel like I've reached the ninth level."
"..." Zhu Hu's eyes twitched slightly: "You have only been practicing martial arts for about ten days, right?"
"Well, today is the eleventh day." Shen Lang sighed with emotion: "It's not easy. In the hot summer, I practiced hard for eleven days, and finally reached the ninth level... I sweat every day, I'm afraid I don't weigh more than ten pounds. It's really too much
It’s not easy anymore.”
Zhu Hu suddenly didn't want to talk to Shen Lang - my brother practiced for ten months before he could get started at the ninth level, and he practiced hard for another two years before he could reach the ninth level. You, the boy, achieved the ninth level in eleven days, and you still have the face.
Isn’t it easy to say?
You can call it difficult, so what should I call it?
Zhu Hu felt heartbroken.
Pian Shenlang is still chattering:
"Although I have mastered the ninth level of training, I have not practiced any actual killing moves until today. I only have two arms of brute strength, and I can only bully ordinary people. Alas, the training time is too short and my martial arts accumulation is too much.
shallow.
"What bothers me the most is that what I practice is the sword technique of 'Ten Steps and One Kill'. As we all know, if you want to advance to actual combat, you have to practice basic sword techniques for one or two years first.
"Fortunately, I seem to have figured out the nine-level fighting moves of the 'Tiger Claw Hand' by myself. I feel like I can practice the Tiger Claw Hand first and learn some boxing and kicking skills. As for swordsmanship, just practice it slowly.
, practice for a year or two first to develop a solid foundation in basic skills..."
"..."
"Brother Zhu, why don't you speak?"
"...What do you think I should say?"
"Share money?"
"What kind of money?"
"Congratulations to me for becoming a member of the ninth rank!"
"..."
As usual, they chatted until noon. Shen Lang glanced at Zhu Hu. Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Hu raised his hand:
"No need to say it, leave is granted!"
"Thank you, Brother Zhu! I'm a little tight on money lately, so I won't treat Brother Zhu to a drink today. When I get paid, I will definitely treat Brother Zhu to the best restaurant for a drink!"
Well, although Shen Lang's current salary is two yuan a month, it is still more than enough to set up a table with good wine and food in a restaurant.
Anyway, Shen Lang didn't expect to live on this salary. Once the salary was paid, he would use it to unite his colleagues.
As usual, Shen Lang left early at noon and skipped work. He went straight to the Dongshi Flower and Bird Shop, intending to buy a small animal, turn it into a spirit, and teach him the "Qing Emperor's Secret of Immortality".
However, he was so excited that he didn't realize that the Emperor's Liquid accumulated by the Dianjing Pen was not enough at all - the Emperor's Liquid could accumulate about 7% every day on average, and it would take a little more than fourteen days to accumulate a full well.
And to enlighten a little demon, you need the Half-well Emperor's fluid fluid.
The night before yesterday, he enlightened the small bones and consumed all the accumulated Emperor's Liquid. Only one day and two nights had passed, and only 11% of the Emperor's Liquid had been saved in the five-color round well. It would take at least five more days to save enough.
50%.
However, it was impossible for Shen Lang to enter the Jingbi Space to check it out in public, so he rushed to the flower and bird shop and carefully selected a fist-sized, snow-white little rabbit.
"The Qing Emperor's Secret of Immortality" is limited to rabbit demon practice.
As for why the rabbit demon is restricted...
Maybe it’s because of the legend that rabbits taste hundreds of herbs and are familiar with the medicinal properties of various herbs?
Or maybe it is said that there is a Jade Rabbit in the Moon Palace who can only make medicine?
