Painting the way to becoming a saint: I command all the gods and demons Chapter Fifty-Five: Killing Monsters and Conferring Rewards, the Way of Wenxiu!
Chapter Fifty-Five: Killing Monsters and Conferring Rewards, the Way of Wenxiu!
In the human race, even a first-grade warrior only has a lifespan of three hundred years.
Normally, a third-level martial arts practitioner would have a lifespan of one or two hundred years, which is already pretty good.
The lifespan of Wenxiu is shorter, basically no different from that of ordinary people. At most, they can live over a hundred years without illness or disaster.
But demons are different.
A high-quality monster can easily live for more than three hundred years, if nothing else.
Of course, behind the long years are the attributes of demons and ghosts, which are extremely difficult to cultivate and the spiritual wisdom is very slow to open.
Often you don't have enough wisdom until you reach the third level.
"But Yao Yao is a special case!"
Embarrassment leads to adultery, embarrassment leads to adultery.
Once a demon becomes a spirit, once it reaches the highest level, its wisdom is no different from that of ordinary people, or even worse!
Moreover, demons are extremely vindictive!
Such a big loss.
Gu Changsheng didn't think they would let Baimayi off easily!
However, from what Ke Yuan'er said, Jiang Xue, the person in charge, should also know this.
On the contrary, Yang Dong and Wang Li became a little excited when they listened to Ke Yuan'er's story.
"It's a pity that we didn't catch up with that battle, otherwise we would have been able to make some achievements in battle!"
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, both soldiers and civilians, as long as they can kill high-quality monsters, can receive rewards.
A tenth grade demon will be rewarded with silver rewards ranging from 10 taels to 30 taels.
Ninth-grade demons range from thirty taels to three hundred taels.
And so on.
If you work as an official or a local official, you can gain meritorious service for promotion.
Like Yang Dong and Wang Li, they are just the captains of the Black Armor Cavalry.
But if you can kill one ninth-level demon or three tenth-level demons, and you don’t need a reward of silver.
Their meritorious service alone is enough for them to become a hundred generals directly.
Even Gu Changsheng was a little moved after hearing the news.
"Is the reward for killing monsters so high?"
But think about it, high-quality monsters are not easy to find.
The disaster caused by monsters like Nankang Mansion was so serious that a military strategist was called in to serve as the head of the mansion.
The total number of monsters causing trouble may only be in the hundreds.
Calculated this way, even if they are all killed.
The silver reward paid by the imperial court was probably only a few hundred thousand taels.
However, Nankang Prefecture's annual taxes, without mentioning commercial taxes, can easily exceed this figure.
The reason for Gu Changsheng's heartbeat was also very simple.
As a wise man who governs the country, the rewards from the imperial court are quite generous.
But before he resigned, he also resigned from the gold, silver and cultivation items awarded by the court.
Gu Changsheng didn't think so before.
But after actually setting foot on the road to Nankang Mansion, Gu Changsheng realized.
The words "poor money" are not so fun.
The Gu family didn't have much savings to begin with.
After the money he had saved was swindled by Shen Shaokang, so many things happened that Gu Changsheng didn't have time to pay attention to them.
He currently has only a dozen taels of money on hand.
"Fortunately, Sister Su Rou has direct access to Tianjing's Jisiwei headquarters, so she shouldn't have to worry about travel expenses."
Gu Changsheng felt much more at ease when he thought that there was no problem with Su Rou.
Attention has once again returned to the demonic disaster at Baimayi.
For Gu Changsheng, killing demons not only exchanges for silver rewards, but also has another advantage, that is, it can be used to strengthen his biggest trump card, the painting palace to worship the gods!
"Although the sacrifice in "Zhong Kui's Ghost Hunting Picture" has reached the upper limit, if you want to continue to sacrifice, you must find a third-level demon."
"But the sacrifice of the "Huaguo Mountain Spiritual Stone Scroll" has not yet reached this stage!"
And according to Ke Yuan'er.
Most of the wolf monsters that escaped were between the lower ninth level and the upper ninth level.
Although the leader of the beast is at a high level, it is only at the eighth level.
With Gu Changsheng's strength, he might not be able to solve it head-on.
But relying on the vitality left in "Zhong Kui's Ghost Hunting Picture", self-protection is always safe!
In addition to protecting yourself, if you kill a few wolf demons, you can easily earn two to three hundred taels of silver.
Even if I have to break up with Yang Dong Wangli.
With a hundred taels of silver in hand, after entering the Nankang Mansion, I will be able to have more money.
The only problem is that when Gu Changsheng used the God Sacrifice Painting Palace to offer sacrifices before, he always directly sealed up the external demons and brought them into the God Sacrifice Painting Palace.
However, when settling the reward for the demon, the imperial court did not require the demon's whole corpse, but the head was still required.
"I don't know if a whole body can be left behind after sacrificing to the demon."
Gu Changsheng thought so.
After all, strictly speaking, he has never fought against such a thing as a monster.
When he was in Anping County before, he only dealt with ghosts, tiger monsters and the like. The only exception was strange existences that were similar to monsters.
Shaking his head to temporarily dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind, Gu Changsheng thanked Ke Yuan'er for the information and sent the young Yi Cheng away.
Wang Li and Yang Dong also stood up to say goodbye and prepared to return to their rooms.
"Erlang rests peacefully and rests early. We will leave early tomorrow morning and try to send Erlang into the house as soon as possible!"
Yang Dong said, but he was worried that Gu Changsheng was overthinking it, so he quickly explained: "It's not that we are eager to leave, but that you, Erlang, are practicing painting. It's difficult to practice in this wilderness!"
Whether it’s literature or Confucianism.
The methods of cultivation are all about absorbing the energy of heaven and earth and evolving it into extraordinary power unique to the path.
Take the painting method practiced by Gu Changsheng as an example.
After entering the ninth level Yunling Realm, Gu Changsheng's practice was to hang his own natal paintings in a quiet room.
According to the grade of the natal painting, the vitality between heaven and earth is absorbed day and night and stored in the natal painting.
Take it off every once in a while and refine it to refine the vitality of heaven and earth into [Aura].
This process often takes days or even months.
As for the cultivation of Confucianism and Taoism, although it is not as troublesome as the cultivation of painting.
But we also need to study quietly and understand the way of saints and sages, so that we can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth and quietly transform it into the aura of civilization.
Martial arts cultivate qi and blood, open up the Dantian, and refine the true power.
Literary cultivation means observing the heaven and earth, observing the great road, cultivating the aura of greatness, and condensing the spiritual light of literature.
In the eyes of Yang Dong and Wang Li.
Gu Changsheng, as a sage who governs the country, is a pure literary practitioner, studying both Confucianism and painting.
The environmental requirements for cultivation are naturally extremely high.
But after hearing Yang Dong's words, Gu Changsheng burst into laughter.
Not to mention, he is not a pure literary talent.
Not to mention being in the inn now, even in the wilderness, he can still practice boxing, polish his blood, and practice martial arts.
Moreover, Gu Changsheng, who owns a painting palace dedicated to gods, is different from ordinary painters.
"Under normal circumstances, painting monks must carefully select a quiet room and hang their natal paintings wherever they go."
"The environment of the quiet room will also, to a certain extent, affect the speed at which the natal painting absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth."
The more energy of heaven and earth is absorbed, the more spiritual light may be condensed.
The faster your cultivation progresses, the faster it will naturally become.
But Gu Changsheng is a special case.
His natal paintings can be hung directly in the Palace of Sacrifice Paintings.
Moreover, although there is no comparison in the speed of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth.
But Gu Changsheng felt that it would be much faster than ordinary painting repair!
