Wu Jie and his party stayed in the county mansion for three days.
The inn they stayed in was specially arranged by Baiyulou. The three adjacent small courtyards were elegantly decorated, and the various daily services were also very clean and gorgeous.
Of course, the cost of living here is also very high. Doctor Wu couldn't help but ask about the accommodation fee once, and he was so frightened that he almost dislocated his jaw.
If the money had not been paid by Bai Yulou, he would probably run back immediately and ask everyone to move out immediately...
They have been living in a bit of a muddle these past few days. What they do every day is to visit and shop in the county mansion accompanied by the waiters sent by Baiyulou.
The Eastern Chu Kingdom has been relatively stable in recent years, and prices are not high. A shop located in the most prosperous area of a county capital can be purchased for only 5,000 taels. If you add another 1,000 taels, you can also get a mansion attached to it——
Of course, they are not in the same area. The most prosperous area in Zhaoyang City only has shops and no homes.
According to Dr. Wu's idea, since he has money now, it is better for the three families to move here and make a living in Zhaoyang City. As long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, with a capital of one hundred thousand taels, it will be enough for a few people.
Let the next generation enjoy wealth and honor in peace. If your descendants are more lucky and more ambitious, they may be able to carry forward the family and become a famous family in future generations...
But after everyone discussed it, they still gave up this tempting plan.
The city of Zhaoyang is too deep, and there are too many capable people. The wealth of one hundred thousand taels cannot be transformed into the family's heritage in a short time. In the face of those wealthy families who have been here for who knows how many years, it is still not enough.
If they want to settle down in Zhaoyang City, I'm afraid that even Bai Yulou may not be able to protect them all - Bai Yulou's power must be very strong, but their friendship with each other is definitely not enough for them to use their real power to protect everyone.
In this case, we might as well settle for the next best thing and go back to the county town to become rich men.
With a net worth of one hundred thousand taels, he is definitely the richest man in Anfeng City, the county town. In addition, he has some relationship with the world-famous Baiyu Tower. He can use the banner as a backer, and he will definitely be able to live a very comfortable life.
"You might be called a 'rich country man' or something like that..." Lin Xiucai said with a smile, "A rich man from the countryside is a rich man from the soil. What's so shameful about farming, studying and inheriting the family?"
Everyone laughed, and the matter was settled.
Since they planned to return to their hometown in glory, of course they had to buy some souvenirs from the county. Everyone went out separately and made a big purchase. The things they bought piled up in a hill - for this reason, they had to buy several large, finely crafted cars.
The pure steel frame is strong and solid, the fine cotton car cover is fluffy and soft, the strong horse pulling the cart is tall and majestic, the driver is shrewd and capable, and then look at the various high-quality appliances and property inside the cart... It is really enviable.
After the purchase was completed, everyone returned home. Bai Yulou found the highly reputable Nanhua Escort Bureau for them. The chief escort, "Nanhua Water Sword" Shen Yi, also sent two bodyguards, Guan Xiong and Xu Hai, to accompany them.
This group of escorts has outstanding strength, and each of them is extraordinary. Du Tuanlian alone knows four or five of them by name. Even the escorts who drive cars and do chores are strong and brave, which is really admirable.
"Dad, don't you always say that you are very powerful? How do you compare with Mr. Shen, the escort chief?" Du Ruo asked with a smile.
Old Du Tuanlian blushed and thought for a long time before he finally came up with an answer: "Although Chief Shen is much stronger than me, if there are ten or eight people like me surrounding him, he will also be in a tough fight..." …”
"Then you have to be able to surround me." Doctor Wu said lightly, "The biggest feature of the Nanhua Water Sword is that it is light and fast. You, a guy as reckless as an ox, can't be surrounded even if you have eighty hundred children. Stay with Mr. Shen, the head escort."
Du Tuanlian was speechless and everyone in the car laughed together.
The convoy moved forward on the wide official road from Zhaoyang City to Anfeng City.
Perhaps it was because the country of Eastern Chu was truly at peace now, or perhaps because the Nanhua Escort Bureau was indeed prestigious. In short, they walked for five days and it was always peaceful and peaceful, without any bandits.
Such a smooth situation made everyone happy, but Wu Jie was always a little uneasy.
"I always feel that it won't be so smooth... Wealth is so touching. We, as a group of people, have barely written 'I am rich' on our faces. Could it be that all the bandits and robbers have changed their careers and don't care about money?"
"That's right. I guess they must have captured all the men, women, and children in the town as hostages, and then asked you to redeem them with money, one thousand taels each." Jasmine nodded repeatedly, "It probably won't be long before the robbers' messengers arrive. A gift will be brought up - do you think it will be a pair of eyes? Or a pair of ears?"
"Don't talk nonsense" scolded Jasmine's crow's mouth angrily, but Wu Jie's heart became more and more uneasy...
Facts have proved that his worries were justified.
On the night of the sixth day, the robbers came as expected
That night, the vigilante's deafening gong woke everyone up from their sleep. Wu Jie rushed out of the carriage that was used as a tent and saw many lights on his face.
The moonlight is good tonight, and you can see very far under the moonlight. Wu Jie clearly saw that many dots of firelight were approaching from a distance. He secretly estimated that there were at least dozens of them; among these firelights Behind, there are some slower-moving fires. The number is unclear, but they are quite dense.
From a distance, it looks like there are many fireflies flying in the night, flying in a loose formation along Daguan Road.
There was a very rhythmic sound in the night wind, and he could tell that it was the sound of horse hooves, but because the distance was too far and the sound of hooves was too chaotic, he could not judge how many people and horses were coming.
"... How long will it take for the Fourth Brother to overcome the inner demon tribulation?" Du Ruo walked impatiently around Wu Jie, his face full of worry, "It's like this outside."
"Don't be impatient, the war hasn't really started yet." Du Xin sat on the bamboo chair next to her, calm and calm, and there was no trace of impatience or worry on her face - or in other words, her face had always been like this, it seemed. There is never any expression.
Seeing her like this, Du Ruo became more and more irritable and nervous: "You also need to give me a sure idea of when he will survive the tribulation."
"The Nine Transformations Golden Pill is the most wonderful thing in the world. I have never achieved it, and I have never seen anyone else achieve it with my own eyes... What's the use of asking me? You might as well ask Han De." Du Xin said lightly, "He is also a Nine-turn Golden Pill. Maybe he knows about Wu Jie's situation."
"Should I ask him? I can't get out, how can I ask?"
"To get out...it's not that there is no way..." Du Xin said leisurely, "The river of blood outside looks huge, but in fact it is mainly due to the formation of the infinite ghosts inside that it has such power. In my opinion, With my ability, it is not difficult to temporarily break the formation and send you out."
"Then send me out quickly so I can go find Hande and ask."
Du Ruo's words were so bizarre that even Du Xin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses. She blinked her eyes and asked calmly: "You went out, found Hande, and asked for the answer, how did you come in?"
Woolen cloth?"
Du Ruo was stunned. She knew very well that she had absolutely no ability to break through. As Du Xin said, even if she got the answer, she couldn't come back.
"...Then, let's go together?" Sister Du thought and immediately came up with an idea, "Let's go together, and we'll take care of you on the way..."
"No," Du Xin said categorically, "I want to protect him here. I won't go anywhere until he achieves the golden elixir."
"But when will he achieve the golden elixir?"
"You have to ask Hande about that."
"...Why does the topic come back again?" Du Ruo scratched his head irritably, walking around like a tiger trapped in a cage, his long hair messed up like a chicken coop.
Du Xin remained silent and stared at Wu Jie.
No matter how long it takes, she will protect her
At this moment, a dazzling light illuminated the entire sky, but it was the Danhuan monks from Bailiantang who gathered at Anqiong Temple. With Master Du'e as the core, they were forming the supreme Buddhist formation for subduing demons, the Three Realms Vajra
mandala
The golden light was soft at first, but soon became bright and fierce, like a sun descending on the world. But before it could be fully formed, the light suddenly burst out and turned into countless fragments.
The Three Realms Vajra Mandala Formation is difficult and profound. It requires the perfect cooperation of all the holy monks to form the supreme magical method of subduing demons. The holy monks have never practiced it before, and now is the first time to practice. How can it be so easy to succeed?
"It's really a rush to meet a slow doctor." Master Dutong, who was tall and majestic, clenched his fists angrily, "The side of Qingyang Temple is surrounded by a river of blood and is in danger, but our side is still practicing the formation... It's really shameful
Annoyed"
"It's useless to be anxious. If we couldn't form the Three Realms Vajra Mandala Formation, we would have died in vain." Master Mingkong said gently, "If Qingyang Temple really can't hold on and we rush to rescue, then maybe it's fate.
…”
"Bah, what kind of hell is this destiny?" Zhang Yunhe, the only contemporary Buddhist lay master who is older than Master Mingkong, played with the fishing rod in his hand and said gloomily, "What we cultivators pay attention to is this
Man can conquer nature, even if God really doesn't give Qingyang a way out, we will still save them with our own strength."
"That's right..." Master Mingkong was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "My thoughts are indeed too negative.
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the western sky, sighing secretly in his heart.
Buddhism can try to rescue Qingyang Temple from the disaster. But over at Baidi Pavilion... not even a bit of news can be spread...
The situation in Qingyang Temple at this time was definitely not good. The evil mirror demon was very powerful and controlled the blood river to rotate around the mountain-protecting formation. Gradually, he figured out the operation rules of the entire formation. It came from the upper world, and on the
His lifespan may be longer than that of all the disciples of Qingyang Mountain combined, and his knowledge is naturally unusual. Even though he has a different path to Taoism and Demonism, Qingyang Temple's mountain-protecting formation really cannot defeat it.
It patiently observed for a while, and after making sure that it had seen clearly, it laughed loudly, controlled the blood river to turn into countless blades, and stabbed at the mountain guarding formation from all directions.
These blades are extremely thin and seem to have no power at first glance, but they penetrate easily into the green light of the mountain guarding formation.
No matter how perfect the formation is, there will still be gaps after all, but the blade has almost no thickness. With no thickness, there is a gap. No matter how strong the power of the mountain-protecting formation is, it cannot withstand it.
The next moment, scarlet blood exploded in the formation. At least a dozen disciples of the Refining Gang were stained by the blood. They couldn't even scream, and their whole bodies turned into blood.
