Legend of the Great Sage

Zhou Wenbin explained that Li Qingshan knew that what he did as a magistrate was not easy. In order to gain enough "approval rate" and let the people of Jiaping City appreciate him as a master of the sky, he had to be light-hearted. He built water conservancy projects, carried out large-scale public welfare facilities, and had to pay high wages to maintain his integrity. He kept a group of aides to handle government affairs for him, so he often couldn't make ends meet.

Zhou Wenbin spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Pity me for what this official does, not only do I have no money, but I have to find ways to raise money."

Li Qingshan is also a little funny. In this era, although the "gap between the rich and the poor" has been widened, it is not a bad thing for ordinary people.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, from top to bottom, officials of any rank did not have any stipends, but they did not have to pay taxes. Even when gold, silver and iron ore was discovered, it was controlled by local officials.

This is impossible in any dynasty known to Li Qingshan, but it is a fact. The focus of practitioners is different from that of ordinary people from the very beginning. If Zhou Wenbin is willing, he will be squeezed in Jiaping for a year. It can be done for tens of millions of taels, but it is meaningless.

And there is only one kind of mineral vein that belongs to the state, and that is the spirit stone mineral vein. Officials like Zhou Wenbin and Zhuo Zhibo all received spiritual stones.

Li Qingshan took out the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver he got from the prostitute and gave it to Zhou Wenbin.

Zhou Wenbin said: "If you don't ask me, how many condensing pills can be exchanged."

Li Qingshan said: "I have never been stingy. Of course, I also hope that others will be more generous to me."

Zhou Wenbin handed a small porcelain bottle, a total of twelve qi pills, to Li Qingshan, and said, "This is the first time, a preferential price, and you can come to me if you have money, but there are 100,000 taels of it. ."

Li Qingshan said: "It's fair." Thinking that a small Qi condensing pill is worth ten thousand gold, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed. But if you put it on the rivers and lakes, there are many people who are willing to spend 100,000 taels to buy this Qi condensing pill.

Li Qingshan gave Zhou Wenbin the account book he got from the old bustard: "I don't know if there is any evidence of the crime on the floor."

Li Qingshan didn't want to make his behavior suspicious, so he didn't take it out immediately. However, he thought that there were still many women locked up in the underground palace of the ** building. He had to find a way to let Zhou Wenbin check the ** building and rescue those women in an upright manner. in.

Zhou Wenbin didn't even look at it, clapped his hands, and immediately a servant came up and took the account book to the county office to show the staff who were proficient in this way.

After a while,

A person who looked like a master came over and firstly glanced at Li Qingshan in amazement. Although the Eagle Wolf Guard was good, the ordinary Xuanlang Guard was not qualified to sit on an equal footing with his own adults. He then bowed slightly and bowed to Li Qingshan before he greeted Zhou Wenbin. Report: "Sir, there are quite a few problems above..."

Li Qingshan looked at the pond, thinking about how to open this mouth, and waited until Zhou Wenbin and the master had finished talking, and then said, "Sir, can this thing be used as evidence that the building was moved?"

Zhou Wenbin said: "Do you really think that you can move to the ** building with just one account book? You underestimate the strength of the ** door. The people I sent to Yu'ergou have returned, and Qingxiu's family, They're all dead, and they've handled it very cleanly."

Li Qingshan said angrily: "These beasts! Are you still afraid of these sects when you are an official?"

Zhou Wenbin said: "It's not fear, but helpless. These cultivators have their own foundation and inheritance. Some giant sects have existed for longer than the Daxia Dynasty. When Emperor Taizu was alive, he could only Appease, promise not to harm their interests, coexist peacefully with each other, and then develop a hundred scholastic academies and cultivate talents to compete with them.

In short, they will not come to provoke Zhou Wenbin, and Zhou Wenbin does not want to provoke them. He is here to practice and practice, not really want to be an honest official and ask for orders for the people, but no one can accuse him more.

Li Qingshan thought to himself, fortunately, I killed Zhao Liangqing, otherwise if I wanted to go through legal channels, I really couldn't do it!

"So you also have to be on guard against the plots of the sect. Sometimes, they may be more terrifying than Zhuo Zhibo. Zhuo Zhibo is a member of the Eagle and Wolf Guards, so he has some scruples about your backstage, but they are not so Be careful, most of the losses of the Eagle and Wolf Guards are due to disputes with these sects, and then they are quietly eliminated. Even an eagle leader like Zhuo Zhibo, or a magistrate like me, also died inexplicably. ."

Li Qingshan was not too surprised. He had seen such an instance with his own eyes. Gu Yanying, despite her identity, still failed to kill the White Lotus Virgin. Although she was forced to hide, she also lost a lot of subordinates.

And the White Wolf Guards under her are all powerful cultivators who have survived at least one catastrophe and reached the realm of foundation building. In this Jiaping City and even Qinghe Mansion, they are all people walking sideways. The elder Feilong of the Hidden Sword Palace had no fear of the authority of the Eagle and Wolf Guards at all. He dared to kill Concubine You's pet in front of her, and even fought against her. This was the Eagle God standing behind Gu Yanying. The strength of these cultivators is evident.

He couldn't help sighing: "No matter what era, it's all about strength. There's no such thing as a reputation. It's never easy to use strength."

Zhou Wenbin said: "You have a map of Qingzhou, you might as well take a look at it."

Li Qingshan took out the square-inch map of Qingzhou to expand.

Zhou Wenbin stroked the map lightly: "Sure enough, it's a good thing." Countless lights lit up on it, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

"The bright spot on this place has the status of the imperial court. Even a fifth-level qi refiner would not dare to kill you, a first-level qi-refining mysterious wolf guard, in front of everyone's eyes. However, beyond this light spot. , there is no name, only strength, you have to remember this. As long as you have absolute certainty, someone will dare to take action against you for the things in your treasure bag. This wolf skin sometimes not only can't protect you, On the contrary, it is more likely to attract murder.”

Li Qingshan looked at the square-inch map of Qingzhou, which he had read many times, and gained a new understanding. Although the stars are bright and dense, they are far from the vastness and darkness of the night sky. In those deep mountains and swamps, in the mountains and mountains, it is a lawless place, a stage for demons to dance, and a battlefield for practitioners to fight.

This kind of revelation was more helpful than giving him a few more qi pills, and it gave him a new understanding of his identity and position. But instead of feeling any fear, he felt suddenly enlightened.

Originally, he was still worried that if Zhuo Zhibo was in trouble, how to kill him in order to reduce his suspicion. But now, the dark place beyond the light has provided him with convenience. He can kill as much as he can, and then push this matter to an unknown powerful cultivator, or a passing terrifying demon.

Zhou Wenbin saw that Li Qingshan didn't have a hint of fear on his face, that is every orthodox practitioner, and the first time he heard this kind of remarks, it was inevitable that he would be overwhelmed. Even Zhou Wenbin himself is no exception, so he is determined to stay in the light for life, protect himself wisely, and keep a distance from the world in the dark.

He has to admit that this young man is indeed different from ordinary people. He seems to have a strong interest in fighting and killing, chaos and disorder, but he is not a brainless fighting madman, but bold and careful.

Perhaps it is more suitable for him to join a certain sect, rather than follow the path of the Eagle and Wolf Guard or the Hundred Schools of Scholastics. Almost all sects will like such a disciple, whether it is to eliminate demons and guard the way, or to eliminate Dao and guard demons, All need good warriors.

In the eyes of ordinary people, practitioners seem to be out of the world and forget the vulgarity. They don't need to be contaminated with worldly fireworks or blood. Just meditating, reciting scriptures, eating and drinking every day can prolong life and even live forever.

Who is willing to risk fighting with people if they are on their own? Who doesn't want to walk the way of longevity with peace of mind, and spend all the time in making spiritual tools and charms for alchemy and bait. All the time spent studying magic was spent on comprehension and questioning. But this road is really too difficult and too crowded.

Everyone needs a panacea, but the spirit grass is limited. Everyone needs a paradise, but a good cave is limited. Either avoid it and watch others enjoy the panacea, the heaven and the earth, and practice at an extremely fast speed, while oneself can only gradually age and eventually become a dead bone in the mound, or go to the winner and loser, and compete for the high and the low.

Not only to fight for fate with heaven, but also to fight with people.

Even if the world is harmonious, everyone is harmonious. Those demons and ghosts hidden in the dark, don't they want to re-occupy the upper reaches and rule Kyushu. In that unordered wilderness, I don't know how many sects were created and died out, only following the most primitive rules, survival of the fittest, and the strong respected.

Hidden Sword Palace and Xuanyin Sect, one sword-wielding, one ghost-controlling, they may not be the best sects in cultivating Taoism, but they have continued to survive with their own advantages and this rule.

Li Qingshan put away the square-inch map of Qingzhou and said, "Since you have already offended people, you might as well be offended a little bit harder. Since you have this status, it would be a pity not to use it."

Zhou Wenbin knew in his heart that Li Qingshan had killed people from the sect in public, and there would be no chance of compromise and reconciliation. Thinking of his youthful heart, the lingering resentment did not disappear, so he said: "Okay, I will order more than a dozen yamen for you, Although this account book can't overturn it, pressing it down and letting them spit out some money is still enough."

At this time, the steward came to report: "Sir, a fat man asked for a meeting in the yamen, saying that he was the county captain of Jiaping City, and this was his document."

Zhou Wenbin smiled and said, "It seems that your old boss has arrived."

Li Qingshan also smiled and said: "The security of the city is the county commander's job, and it is more suitable for Lord Ye to lead people there than me."

Zhou Wenbin waved his hand and said, "Go and tell him, I'm going to start my practice, and let him see me again tomorrow." Obviously, he didn't take Ye Dachuan in his eyes at all, so he should show respect to the prefect. , it is enough to pay him more money.

Li Qingshan came to the front yamen, and saw Ye Dachuan with his master, pointing and pointing: "Look, this is the big city, it's different, although it is worse than the Qinghe mansion, but it is better than the place where birds don't shit in Qingyang. , powerful." The master was on the side with a look of joy, and following this fat man, he finally felt a little bit out of the way.

"Master Ye, I haven't seen you for a long time, stay safe?"

Ye Dachuan turned his head and saw Li Qingshan in a mysterious wolf suit. Although he knew that he was here to do this, he couldn't help being surprised: "You...you really..."

Li Qingshan smiled slightly: "I have a great wealth to give you! If you don't want it?"
