Licheng, the largest city in the county.

Located on the plains, there are many fertile lands. In a county, half of the people are within the jurisdiction of Licheng.

However, the rich resources did not make the people in the city live a better life, because the three hundred miles west of the city were leaning against the endless Black Cloud Mountains, and there were not only ferocious beasts and ferocious birds in the mountains, but also rare monsters in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

It is said that it is a snake demon!

Moreover, this snake demon practices Qimen's martial arts and is good at concealing his breath. Even if it is prohibited by the Great Zhou Dharma, it cannot be noticed, and it cannot subdue thunder disasters and eliminate harm to the people.

In order to win the snake demon, the City Lord's Mansion asks the people and the city's wealthy families to pay donations many times every year.

The lives of the people in the city over the past few years have been extremely difficult, and they are even far from the days in the barren lands far away.

City Lord's Mansion.

Hu Lan, a disciple of the Holy Sect, was also the lord of Licheng City, and was greeting a guest in the high shed of the backyard.

"Tie Ku has met Mr. Hu."

Tieku is a bald man with a shiny scalp and a very strong figure. His swelling muscles make his wide clothes tightly tight.

"Haha..., I'm welcome to be polite, sit down quickly, sit down!"

The city lord Hu Lan is dressed in a literati today, and his original majestic momentum has also been closed, like a middle-aged scholar walking in the sea of ​​books and reading scriptures.

He took two steps forward and spoke enthusiastically.

"Today I specially hired a chef from the world to eat the world. The ingredients are also local specialty spirit beasts, as well as beautiful wine and beautiful women, which are specially used to welcome the junior and nephew!"

"Uncle Master, please be polite!"

Tieku's dark face made a smile, and he didn't feel too humble, so he came to the table to sit down.

They are all disciples of the Holy Sect.

The Holy Sect emphasizes that there are teachings but no distinctions, and all things are natural. The sect leader is even more proficient in various methods such as Buddhism, Taoism, ghost cultivation, etc., and his disciples are all over the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once there are many people, their seniority is sometimes not so particular.

"If you want to talk about this spiritual beast, the most delicious thing on it is the thigh meat. The meat is tender and melts in the mouth, and it is not fishy or odorful. Even if eaten raw, it is an excellent delicacy."

The city lord Hu Lan of Licheng is very particular about food even in the county town, and he is well-known for eating various ways of eating.

"Isn't eating raw beast meat like a monster? My nephew really doesn't have that belly."

Tieku shook his head, disagreed with Hu Lan's introduction.

"Uncle Master won't be busy eating and drinking. The things you want have already brought about iron bitterness. These things are too precious, so I dare not leave them alone for too long."

"Haha... With the skills of my nephew and the reputation of our Holy Sect, is there anyone who dares to take your things?"

Hu Lan raised his head and laughed. Although these things are very important to him, he seemed to have no mind at all.

"It's okay to have other places, but isn't there a monster here with elusive spirits?"

Tieku blinked, but a strange smile appeared on Hanhan's face.

"Don't be afraid of my uncle! No matter how brave that monster is, he will not dare to provoke my uncle's guests!"

Hu Lanhui smiled with a knowing smile and tacit understanding spread between the two at the same time, and everything was indifferent.

"Uncle Master, please see, Soul-washing water, Soul-condensing pill, Soul-determining flower..., Colorful Heart Stone, Glazed Treasure, Buddhist Third-grade Heart Lamp..., and these."

One by one, the rare treasures shining with inspiration were taken out from the Qiankun bag one by one by one by the iron bitter, and the tabletops were filled. In an instant, the attic was already full of strange lights and colorful.

All kinds of treasures also made Hu Lan's face change slightly, and a hint of obsession was seen in his eyes.

"ban!"

He was sure in his heart. Hu Lan made a gesture in his hand, and a vast force appeared out of thin air, wrapping the shelf tightly, and the inspiration inside could no longer penetrate.

"Borrowing the power of the Hunyuan ban on Heaven and Earth, the master's methods are really enviable!"

Seeing this scene, Tieku couldn't help but look envious.

"You don't have to be envious of your junior nephew. You can borrow it even after you become an official. But these are external objects after all, and they are far less powerful than the original body!"

Hu Lan lowered his head and chuckled.

The reason why the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty was stable is that the court had already confused with the formations of this world. The city lords and generals in various places could directly borrow the power of the formations to counter this.

The higher the official position, the greater the power you can borrow.

Like Hu Lan, if you raise your hands and feet, you will be blessed by the power of heaven and earth. With all your strength, even the lower third-grade Jindan master can be suppressed by him on the spot!

Moreover, if you encounter an opponent you cannot cope with, you can temporarily apply for additional permissions.

Of course, the ability he can borrow is limited, and once he exceeds a certain limit, he needs to report to the court to explain the reason, otherwise what is waiting for him will be a heavy punishment!

"It's hard to be an official!"

Tie Kuo smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Those Confucian scholars control the government and speak and do official positions must assess knowledge and character, and that's all! They even require a good appearance and majesty appearance. Isn't this unreasonable?"

"My nephew can change his appearance."

"If someone discovers it, it will be another serious sin! I have lost my intention to be an official, so I should be honest in being a dealer in the world."

"Everyone has ambition and lives in the temple, so he has to work hard on government affairs and people's livelihood. Without time to practice, it may not be beneficial for pursuing the great way."

Hu Lan comforted him.

"Three years of county town, millions of gold! Do you want anything? Uncle Master takes magic medicine every day. Could it be that he joked about me as poor as a nephew?"

Tieku glanced at the things on the table. Even if he worked hard for the rest of his life, he might not be able to exchange them.

However, the other party, who had been the lord of Licheng for only a few years, could buy it effortlessly.

The treasure that calms the soul, attracts the soul, and concentrates the mind, has always been priceless.

"Haha... By the way, 160,000 taels of gold, this is the money ticket for the ten thousand ticket shop in Beijing."

Hu Lan laughed and immediately took out a stack of silver notes from his body and handed them over.

"Uncle Hu, only 100,000 taels!"

Iron bittersweet counted and returned part of it.

"Hmm? Why is this?"

Hu Lan was surprised. These things are treasures circulated within the Holy Sect. They can’t be bought even if outsiders want to buy them, and it is impossible to discount them!

"Uncle Mingshu wants to ask Uncle Hu to help. The 60,000 taels of gold is regarded as a reward, and Uncle Mingshu will pay for you."

Iron bitter body explored.

"Oh! I wonder what the busyness is?"

Hu Lan's eyes moved slightly and asked calmly.

"My uncle Mingshu's two disciples were killed not long ago. You also know that Mr. Mingshu's character is that he has always protected his shortcomings, so he will naturally not let go of the person who attacked him. According to reliable information, those who harmed the two junior brothers will come to Licheng soon."

"Can there be evidence?"

"Although there is no clear evidence, the situation was already seen by the uncle at that time, and it is almost certain to be separated!"

"That's no evidence."

Hu Lan had a gloomy face and gently tapped the table in front of him with one hand.

"Uncle Hu, sixty thousand taels of gold!"

Tieku smiled gently and pushed the stack of silver notes over.

Hu Lan's face immediately became shady and suddenly spoke after a moment.

"Who is the one who started?"

"A child from the Li family's house."

"Which Li family?"

"Of course it's the Li family."

"You want to harm me!"

Hu Lan's face turned pale.

"Don't worry, uncle!"

Tieku hurriedly shook his head and continued to speak.

"Uncle Master, you also know that the Li family is a big business. Although some people have a name, they are actually an old farmer in the countryside! Although this family is well off, he is just a rich family. He is also a concubine of the family and is not welcome at all."

"As far as I know, his family even wished he could die."

"Also, the two disciples of Master Mingshu are from the Tian family. If you help this, the Tian family will remember your kindness in the future. With the energy of the Tian family and the Holy Sect, it will be absolutely easy to help Master Master go further."

Tieku's straightforward and kindness also caused Hu Lan's expression to gradually change.

After a long time, Hu Lan reached out and gently tapped the silver note in front of him.

"Half-price!"

"Uncle Master..."

Tie Ku's face turned bitter, and after a moment, he nodded.

"make a deal!"

"It seems that I still want less!"
