One night, everything changed.

The cable bridge can now be accessed freely, the shacks under the city wall have been demolished in one fell swoop, and the abandoned land has been divided equally between households. After the neighbors come forward to testify, everyone can move back to where they originally lived.

Within a day, all the people moved back to their previous homes, and those who had no homes were resettled in new houses. The river city was in good order, and the good news spread throughout the small town.

The Zhou family left behind a huge wealth that far exceeded others' imagination. Huo Rendong didn't know what Qi Ci said. Early the next morning, a group of monks in white clothes landed in a flying boat. They all had excellent temperaments.

They claim to be the envoys of the Bai Yujing Alliance, and they are here to help collect and distribute the remaining belongings of the Zhou family.

The Baiyujing Alliance is an alliance composed of major sects in Baiyujing, similar to the Tianxia Gang. But ordinary people don't know it.

The common people were still worried when they saw these people, fearing that they would be the next Zhou Lin and enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman.

Little did they know that when these monks saw the white-haired immortal master, their attitudes became more cautious than those of others, with fake smiles on their faces and they couldn't even raise their heads.

"Xu Feng, the twenty-seventh generation disciple of Tianyan Sect, meets his great uncle..."

"Master-uncle is worthy of being a genius in swordsmanship. Thank you for your efforts to eradicate the evildoers."

"Junior Taiyi Zong Wu Ke, admire, admire..."

The young disciples all showered him with compliments when they came up. At that time, Qi Ci was sitting on a big rock by the river repairing the waterwheel.

The waterwheel is an important instrument for people's farming and irrigation. It was smashed by the Zhou family before. Qi Ci's sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and he was holding a hammer in one hand and a wooden board in the other.

He heard a group of people buzzing in his ears and turned around to glare impatiently. The young disciples of the Bai Yujing Alliance fell silent one by one and resigned.

They immersed themselves in the Zhou family's large and small warehouses as if they had been given blood, and began to liquidate and take inventory.

Not to mention taking advantage of the common people, these disciples just wanted to finish their work and leave as soon as possible, and did not want to face Qi Ci, the god of plague.

Who doesn’t know that True Lord Cihui of Tianyan Sect is moody!

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the property liquidation was completed in less than three hours.

"Uncle-Master, the Zhou family has cleared out a total of 203,000 taels of silver, 100,000 taels of copper coins, seven boxes of jewelry, ten loads of silk and satin, more than 300 pieces of precious porcelain, and three warehouses of ornaments."

"There are also 100,000 third-grade spiritual stones. The details of magic weapons, elixirs, and talismans are all here..."

Qi Ci raised his eyelids and took a look, as if he didn't care: "The cash will be distributed to the people on a household basis. Jewelry, silk and satin and other items will be left in the city lord's mansion as public funds, which will be handled by the next city lord."

"The cultivation materials are of no use to them. They are left here to attract covetous attention. All of them will be converted into the contribution of the Baiyujing Alliance. From now on, Hecheng will be directly responsible for you. I hope that scum like the Zhou family will never appear again."

Several disciples in white bowed their heads in unison and bowed their heads respectfully: "——Master, uncle, great righteousness."

Huo Lingdong and others didn't know what Bai Yujing's contribution was, but what they heard clearly was that Qi Ci didn't want any of the Zhou family's things.

In the afternoon, when Fu Chunhua and the others drove an ox cart with big boxes filled with money on the carts, handing out silver and copper coins from house to house according to the list, the people simply thought they were living in a dream.

"It's always been the officials who collected tax money from us and never distributed money to the lower levels." The old man sighed while holding the money in his palm.

If the harvest is bad, the family will tighten their belts and be unable to raise the tax money, so they often resort to selling the goods.

The middle-aged man on the side took a big bite and said happily: "This is silver, this is silver! I have never seen so much money in my life!"

Fu Chunhua sat on the back of the cow and laughed: "Of course it is true. The immortal master and the immortal aunt have made the decision for us. From now on, the people of Hecheng can live a good life!"

"Xiangu Xianshi is our great benefactor."

"God bless us and sent a fairy to save us."

"The two benefactors must be safe and sound——"

They shouted, with tears in their eyes.

There were also many people kneeling on the street, spontaneously bowing in the direction of the sun on the horizon, and praying secretly.

With money and food, a new order was quickly established, and the originally desolate streets in the city also changed.

Many closed shops opened one after another, selling vegetables, chickens, and pancakes. The noise of the vendors brought life to the city.

After the chain bridge was opened, there was a gradual flow of cars, horses and people outside the city.

Following the official route, many wealthy families who had fled returned one after another. There were also some rabble-rousers who were originally accomplices of the Zhou family. They hurried away when no one was paying attention, for fear that Qi Ci would settle the score with them.

Zhongshang City is in dire straits, and there is only one inconspicuous bookstore located on the outskirts of the city, which has quietly closed its door.

This bookstore is very small. There is only one shopkeeper in the store, and a sign reading "Yinhai Study - Hecheng Branch" hangs on the eaves.

At this moment, the shopkeeper was sweating profusely, and he was speeding up to clean up the secret accounts in the store.

He threw some account books with specific marks on them individually into a basin and set them on fire. In addition, there were still a pile of goods for sale left in the container, plus goods that had been ordered but not produced...

You will definitely lose a lot of money.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache!

The shopkeeper muttered to himself: The original local snake Zhou family, after all, also had ancestors from the Jindan period sitting in charge. They started doing business to provide some convenience and mutual benefit.

Unexpectedly, so many people in the Zhou family would be dead! Their bodies were all turned into ashes!

The man and the woman didn't know their origins, but they were so amazing. Especially the white-haired male cultivator, his strength was terrifying, and he would tremble just by looking at them from a distance.

If the secret accounts and goods in the study were discovered by the monk, he would not be able to eat them and carry them around!

The shopkeeper's mouth was full of bitterness and he couldn't even cry even if he wanted to.

Naturally, he didn't dare to hide such a big event. After reporting it to the owner using the expedited messenger talisman, he unexpectedly received a strange answer.

"Are you sure that the monk who destroyed the Zhou family is a young man with gray hair who wields a sword and is accompanied by a beautiful girl?"

"The owner of the restaurant has a clear vision, and the villain will not be mistaken."

"In that case, just wait there and I'll be there soon."

"yes……"

It could be heard from the communication talisman that the owner's mood was a little strange. Not only did he not care about the fact that the business line in Hecheng was cut off, but he was more concerned about the two people with unknown origins.

*

The people of Hecheng have been suffering for a long time. Most of them are exhausted and infected with diseases, and some serious limb injuries have been infected.

In addition, those girls who were used as supplements still had half their lives hanging on their belts and needed to be treated well.

Now all the available labor is used to plant winter wheat, and there is no more manpower left.

Huo Lingdong had no choice but to find a few people with some knowledge of medicine in the city, and set up a shed in the open space outside the city lord's palace, allowing people with serious injuries and illnesses to live in it, and it served as a temporary medical center.

Qi Ci saw how hard it was for her to organize people to collect medicines and prepare medicines every day, so he got some spiritual plants and pills from the Zhou family's private treasury that were supposed to be handed over, and gave them all to her.

Dan pills are all made from herbs with spiritual energy. They are not so much traditional Chinese medicine as they are a mixture of theology, traditional Chinese medicine and Taoism.

Huo Lingdong crushed a yellow-level rejuvenation pill, mixed it with water and gave it to five people to drink. Even so, he still underestimated the efficacy of the nectar after a long drought.

After drinking a bowl of medicinal soup, the waist is no longer sore, the legs are no longer painful, and a person who has been paralyzed for half a year can get up and walk twice immediately.

Within a few days, the people who were in good health were able to work in the fields. Huo Lingdong was also privately praised as a fairy by the people because of his tireless rescue work every day.

One day at noon, a family member of a patient who came to deliver food was shouting outside.

"Xiangu Huo, Immortal Cihui is waiting for you outside the hospital again."

Qi Ci had a cold face, and the people did not dare to call him by his name, so they only addressed him by his Taoist title.

Huo Lingdong, on the other hand, had no airs at all, and the people looked at her as if they were their own girl. Some called her Little Fairy Huo, and some called her Fairy Lonicera.

Huo Lingdong responded. She was helping to change the dressing for a man who had been flogged, and then hurried out to wipe his hands and change his clothes.

Her hair was wrapped in cotton, and she looked neat and tidy.

A patient looked at her and smiled: "The little fairy girl and the fairy master have such a good relationship, I have to come here every day to find them."

Huo Rendong was stunned and hurriedly said: "Aunt, you misunderstood, we are not..."

Several other women nearby were busy joking: "No, what? I see that the immortal treats you with sincerity. You really are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven."

"I just hope that I will have a son soon."

They didn't even consider that there was an older girl here, and they made Huo Lingdong blush.

So when she came out of the hospital tent, her face was still blushing when she saw Qi Ci.

The man was lazily leaning against the willow tree of the long river. His collar was slightly loose, and he had changed into a dark blue military uniform with narrow sleeves. The moment he saw Huo Lingdong, his eyebrows moved slightly.

She must have just finished cleaning her face, and even her eyelashes seemed to be wet. Her cheeks were powdered, her lips were like red clouds, and a few strands of untwisted black hair spread out from the edge of the scarf, which made her face even more bright-eyed and white-teeth.

.

Especially when she looked over, the skin from her cheeks to the side of her neck was flushed red, and her eyes were sparkling, making all the men passing by look at her.

It is really ice muscle and jade bone, cutting snow into a god.

Huo Rendong still remembered the joking words of his aunts just now. He walked up to Qi Ci and refused to look directly at him: "Master, what's wrong?"

Qi Ci only had eyes for her.

He gestured to the food box at hand, which contained a bowl of boiled medicine: "You work hard for the people every day, why don't you take care of your own body? Wasn't it hurt by the attack talisman at that time, and it stopped hurting so quickly?"

He helped her take out the bowl: "Even if you are a fairy, you still need to drink medicine when you are injured."

"How about it, drink the medicine, fairy?"

The man had handsome features and a faint smile on his face. Huo Lingdong felt a bang in his ears and hurriedly snatched the medicine bowl from his hand, raised his head and drank it all.
