The first thing that caught my eye was the dim sky, with a waning moon hanging in the sky, dotted with several cold stars. I slowly turned my head and saw a small house with black tiles and white walls. Oh, no, it should be a small temple.
The small temple is only one and a half meters high and covers an area of only two square meters. There is a statue of a god inside. There are some fruit and vegetable tributes placed in front of the statue. A pair of couplets on both sides read, "Human life is rooted in the earth, and life is based on the earth.", with a horizontal comment.
It is the land of Liuye Village in Hebian County.
It turns out that this is the Earth Temple of Liuye Village.
Sun Ran sat up and looked around, and saw a woman lying next to her. Her face and figure were 90% similar to Bai Tingxuan's. Her clothes were ragged, her hair was fluffy, her face was black, and she looked like a beggar.
The same is true when you look down at yourself.
Come on, both of them have become beggars.
After a while, Bai Tingxuan also woke up. Women love to be clean. As soon as she woke up, she noticed her own appearance. She frowned, then raised her hand and waved lightly, with a little more light on her fingertips, and pointed at herself and Sun Ran.
: "Purification Curse."
The clear light flew out from her fingertips and circled around each of them, taking away all the stains on their bodies. Their clothes were clean, and the odor, lice and fleas on their bodies disappeared.
One advantage of the Order is that once entering the virtual world, the mana in the body will be replenished in a very short time, reaching the upper limit that the Order can control.
Sun Ran also has magic power in his body. Because in the resume he forged for him by the Central Intelligence Brain, he was once a national master of Zhenguo. He practiced Taiqing Jue and his cultivation was extremely profound. In order for him to take advantage of Taoism and law, the Confucian company naturally did not
He will be stingy and replenish his mana.
This is beyond the reach of saboteurs. They must carefully replenish their mana to avoid being discovered by the game brain. This process is very slow and is common in the game for thousands of years. Because saboteurs often take the form of beasts.
Sneaking into the virtual world, the monks among ordinary players do not know this, so they have the saying that human beings are the spirits of all things, the body is naturally in harmony with the Tao, and the cultivation of human beings is far greater than that of monsters.
"Good magic." Sun Ran praised.
Bai Tingxuan was also happy in her heart and smiled: "You taught me well. The total amount of data that my magic power can mobilize is extremely high, even exceeding the limit of the second level authority."
Sun Ran smiled proudly and said without humility: "That's natural."
The Immortality Technique was created by his newly enlightened Taoist ancestor. This time, Sun Ran added years of experience to teach it, almost completely changing the appearance of the Immortality Technique. While increasing its power, he did not worry about being recognized at all. Bai Tingxuan is quite good.
As a direct disciple of Yu Daozu, how can you do it if you are not powerful?
At this time, a ray of light shot out from the Earth Temple, and then a figure walked out of the Earth God Statue. The figure quickly turned from virtual to real, turning into an old man with white hair and a hunchback.
He held a cane in his hand and bowed to Sun Ran and Bai Tingxuan: "I am the land of Liuye Village. This is polite."
His posture, which was so rich in ancient oriental culture, confused the two of them.
Bai Tingxuan asked: "Are you the game administrator?"
The old man from the land coughed lightly and said seriously: "To be precise, I am the game monitor. We have a complete monitoring network. Also, you must call me the land man from now on, so as not to be overheard by others.
Affects the gaming experience."
Sun Ran knew that in the Confucian world, villages must have earth temples and cities must have city god temples to monitor the entire game world and prevent the slightest change.
He laughed, raised his hands and said, "I've heard for a long time that Confucian Company pays attention to player experience. Now that I see it, it's true."
The Tudong was very satisfied with Sun Ran's attitude, and smiled and said: "Since you are here, I will explain the situation in Hebian County in detail."
Sun Ran and Bai Tingxuan looked serious.
Tu Tu Gong raised his three fingers and said: "There are demons and ghosts causing trouble in Hebian County. There are three dangers!"
After he finished speaking, he paused, and Sun Ran continued naturally: "I would like to hear the details."
The land governor smiled and said: "First, there is a water monster causing trouble in the Wenxu River that Hebian County relies on. The water monster is only level 2, and it often floods, overturning cargo ships on the river, submerging farmland, and causing many fields to lose their harvest.
, the people complained, and he was the most serious disaster. He was very powerful in the water, and he was good at taking advantage of the water's power. Most of the Order Defenders were defeated by him, and he was the biggest trouble.
The second is that there is a wild boar demon in Daqing Mountain in the county who has taken over the mountain and is king. The wild boar demon is also a second level. He seals off the mountains and forests. Very few people who go into the mountains to hunt survive. His men often go out of the mountains at night to steal chickens and ducks, and even
Stealing cattle or women will kill anyone who stands in the way. It is extremely cruel and is the second scourge.
Hearing this, Sun Ran said with some disgust: "This method is really awesome!"
The Earth God's face was solemn: "Because of this, we concluded that the saboteurs this time belong to the Poisonous Scorpion Mercenary Group."
Sun Ran nodded. He despised these rogues and unprincipled destroyers the most. Just like the Dragon King in the Age of Dragons, he never left a way for others to survive. Naturally, others would not leave a way for them to survive.
"Where's the third problem?" Bai Tingxuan asked.
"Thirdly, the family of squire Hu Guangyong died, and miserable cries were often heard from the house, making it a haunted house in Hebian County. The haunted house disturbed the people, and no one dared to live within a kilometer of it. However, a house appeared in Hebian County.
It’s no man’s land. County magistrate Yang Tingyong is very worried. If he doesn’t resolve these matters within the year, his performance evaluation will definitely be rated as inferior, and his job as an official will be over.”
It's the eighth month of the lunar calendar, there are still four months to go, and the situation is very serious.
Sun Ran asked: "The two of us are now in rags, hungry, and have nothing to live on. Can the Landlord help us?"
"Of course." Tu Tu Gong nodded, pointed to the fruits and vegetables enshrined in Tu Tu Temple and said, "Take this to satisfy your hunger."
There are real ghosts and gods in this world, so even if the two refugees Sun Ran took away were hungry and fainted, they would not dare to steal these offerings to eat.
Although the fruits and vegetables were cold, they were still fresh, so the two of them made do with it. It was important to fill their stomachs.
Tu Tu Gong turned to the Tu Tu Temple again and pointed at the corner of the Tu Tu Temple. There was a wooden stick with an emerald inlaid on it. It turned out to be a staff.
"This is a second-level staff, left behind by a previous mage from the Order. You are proficient in magic, so just use it."
Sun Ran was overjoyed. This saved him a lot of effort. He took the staff and gave it a try. He found that the staff was not simple. The emerald on the head of the staff had a stabilizing effect on the spell structure and could basically reduce the strength of the data structure.
Improved by half a level.
Although he can use Taoist magic, his real dimension order skills are still only three Western spells. This staff is good, so he naturally accepts it happily.
The Tutu Gong pointed to a mouse hole behind the Tutu God Statue and said: "There was a thief in the village who hid the money here, and you all took it. No one dared to say anything after using it."
It turned out to be stolen silver. Sun Ran walked over, reached into the hole and dug around for a while. He took out a handful of broken silver and hundreds of copper coins. He counted them and found that there were roughly ten taels. According to the price of goods in this world, it was enough for them to live in the river.
I have been living in Bian County for four months.
He hid the money, then took a white-flour steamed bun handed over by Bai Tingxuan and gnawed it.
Taking advantage of this moment, Sun Ran asked: "Does the Earth God have any other advice?"
"It's natural."
Tu Tu Gong pointed to the north and said: "The magistrate has posted a list on the city wall to recruit Taoist people who can eliminate demons. You can dress up as Taoist priests and answer the call."
Sun Ran nodded, this method is the best and can get the support of the world's official forces the fastest.
Tu Tu Gong said: "However, there are many Taoist priests and monks in the world who have false reputations. Even if there are some true teachings, they are absolutely no match for the saboteurs. So far, many people have revealed their names, but they have failed, and they have even included themselves. Magistrate Yang
Ting Yong no longer trusts the monks, so before taking off the inscription, it is best to show off your skills. It would be better if we can calm down one problem first."
The key to this is whether or not the county magistrate can fully cooperate. This is important for preservation tasks. Sun Ran nodded and accepted the instruction.
"There is one last point. Yang Tingyong is a man of great fortune. It is hard to predict whether he will join the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future. His official position must not be lost, and his family must not be harmed. This must be regarded as the top priority." Tu Gong.
His expression was very serious and he was not joking.
The so-called great luck means that this guy is a big VIP player who has paid a lot of credits to become a big official. This kind of player is the God of Wealth of the gaming company. As far as Sun Ran knows, he wants to be a unified and stable political power in a country.
In a black-iron-level world, it would cost at least one million credits to serve as prime minister for ten years.
These big VIPs are not just here to play. They are often the children of rich people in the real world who come to the game world to practice their emotional intelligence.
Naturally, the company must put its interests first.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention."
After finishing speaking, Tu Tu Gong bowed his hands to Sun Ran: "That's it for now. I'll wait for your good news."
"Thank you."
Tu Tu Gong is just an incorporeal data. In layman's terms, he is a spiritual body. He can only transmit information and cannot interfere with the real world. Now that the matter is settled, his body will become insubstantial again and disappear.
There was not much food in the offering, so the two of them ate it up quickly and their stomachs were full. Sun Ran looked at the sky and saw that it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. No, it should be the second watch, so he said: "Xuanxuan,
Hebian County is only a dozen miles away from here. Let's go to the haunted house tonight to check out the situation."
"Okay." Bai Tingxuan agreed. She knew that Sun Ran was a powerful person and could protect her. Her current magic power was also different from what it used to be, so she didn't feel any timidity in her heart.
