Please follow the script of cultivating immortals

Chapter 74

There were a lot of things to purchase, and Jiang Li's storage space was quickly filled up.

She began to wonder what the storage space looked like, because if the things she bought were just piled up, they would never fit into one cubic meter of space.Only when pressed neatly can it be one cubic meter.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't put living things in, Jiang Li would definitely find someone to try.

Naturally they also bought the living animals.Before Jiang Li came back, they had eaten all the chickens raised in the village, and they should make up for it now.

After buying all the things, the Third Master said to those people.

"You guys, go back by yourselves, are you okay?"

"Of course it's okay. Is there anything else the third master has to do?"

"I plan to go shopping again. I haven't gone down the mountain for a while."

After hearing this, the minion looked at Jiang Li again, thinking that the third master was planning to develop a relationship with Jiang Li.

The meaning of Qingming Festival is not only to worship ancestors, but also to go on an outing.

"Yes, now is the right time for an outing."

"... If you have nothing else to do, go back. Hurry up, the brothers on the mountain are starving to death."

"okay."

The Third Master sent them away. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Li looking at him.

Jiang Li asked the third master.

"What's wrong with you? Shouldn't you usually be worried about what might happen on the road so you have to follow along?"

"The city lord has collected black money, so he can't make things difficult for us. Besides, you haven't been back for so many days. It's the Qingming Festival, so I think it's good to take you around."

"...Are you sure it's appropriate to take girls to visit Qingming Festival?"

"Inappropriate?"

The third master's answer surprised Jiang Li.

Jiang Li's concept of Tomb-Sweeping Day is very simple: sweeping graves and taking a holiday.It is said that there is a grave sweeping activity, but it rains every Qingming Festival, so the school has to cancel it.Folding white flowers is one of the few crafts that Jiang Li is good at.

As for holidays, there are basically no holidays in Jiang Li's life.

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't seem to understand, the Third Master continued.

"I don't know if you have a Qingming Festival in the immortal world, but the Qingming Festival in the mortal world is not just for worshiping ancestors. This season is suitable for an outing outside the city."

"Isn't the scenery on our mountain better than outside the city?"

"It's a different scenery. You've been tired lately, so you should take some time to relax."

"alright."

Jiang Li nodded, and the Third Master took her around the city first.

Looking again at this time, Jiang Lizhen found that in addition to some sacrificial supplies, there were also many cakes and kites. j
Jiang Li looked at the kite on a stall.There are not so many types of kites here, they usually look like animals, such as swallows and dragonflies.The colorful colors on it are very complicated, but very beautiful.

The Third Master also noticed this.

"Have you never played with a kite?"

"No."

Jiang Li shook his head.

She had seen it in books and saw other children letting it go, but she didn't.Such entertainment was not hers.

The Third Master patted her on the shoulder.

"Then buy one. Boss, do you have one with a whistle?"

"Yes. These are all available."

The boss brought out several models. Jiang Li looked at them and finally chose a Yanzi one.

After buying it, Jiang Li asked Sanjiang to take charge.

"What was that whistle you just asked about? A code word?"

"No, it's just a real whistle. This way, you can hear the sound when the kite flies."

"That's right. Why do I feel that flying kites on Qingming Festival is not appropriate?"

"If it's not suitable, they won't be able to sell it. Flying a kite can be understood as playing, or it can be understood as praying for blessings."

"Pray?"

After listening to Jiang Li's question, the Third Master nodded, and then talked to Jiang Li in detail.

"Don't all the gods live in the sky? Write words on the kite and fly it, and the gods can see it. It's the same as the Kongming Lantern. Or you can write your own troubles and pain on it, and after flying it, cut it short, and it has nothing to do with you. "

"Then if it falls and hits someone, can the prisoner be found through the handwriting?"

"I have heard of a man who was struck to death by a kite that fell on his own."

"...What's written on his kite?"

"I hope I won't die of illness."

"It can be considered as a wish."

Jiang Li's storage space could no longer hold anything, so the kites and cakes they bought were all in his hands.

As they walked, they came to a relatively strict building, with a few soldiers guarding the door.Jiang Li raised his head and took a look. The plaque read
"City Lord's Mansion"

Jiang Li has been to Sifang City several times and passed by here twice, but he has never had the chance to go in.This time I heard that the city lord had wrapped up all the money in the village, so I stopped and took a look.

The Third Master immediately noticed this.

"Auntie, don't even think about taking revenge."

"Do I seem to be such a reckless person?"

"...You don't know yourself at all?"

Jiang Li didn't believe what he said, so he didn't refute anything.She just turned back and said to the Third Master.

"I'm just a little curious about what kind of person the city lord is. I haven't seen him for so long."

"There will be opportunities in the future. Don't be curious now. Your curiosity can easily lead to your life."

"Okay, let's go outside the city and tell me about the city lord."

"This line."

The third master breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Li was the first to generate income from copycats, but he was also the first to get into trouble.The Third Master feels that the life in the village in the past three years has not been as lively as the last three months.

On the way, the third master told Jiang Li what he knew about the city lord.The city lord's name is Mei Liusi. He was born in the military. He has made several achievements on the battlefield and has suffered some injuries as a result.After being rewarded as the city lord of Sifang City, he no longer likes to move, and he especially likes to eat. The tendon meat on his body is now buried under the fat.

Sifang City is a small place, not taken seriously, and it is far away from the county governor's house.Therefore, Lord Mei can be said to be the most powerful person in Sifang City.He has dozens of soldiers under his command, responsible for all public security and solving cases in the city.

City Lord Mei is not an upright official, but he is not a bad official either. He just doesn't like to take care of things.But even so, the city is still prosperous and people are living and working in peace and contentment.He may not be as good as someone who has done a lot of practical things, but he has never bullied civilians based on his status.In the eyes of civilians, he makes sense.

But in the eyes of gangs, it's completely different.

Lord Mei will collect money from gangs, provide convenience to gangs, and also personally deal with gangs that want to cause trouble when something major happens.

If you say that City Lord Mei is someone who collects protection money in the eyes of gangs, that's not false at all.But he is not a stupid person, but a very smart person.

City Lord Mei doesn't like to take care of things, so he is most afraid of getting into trouble.It can be said that all his energy is devoted to preventing trouble.

It's normal for gangs to have some friction, and whether or not it gets serious depends on your mood.It is not impossible for these people to suddenly attack another gang to relieve their boredom that day.

Therefore, checks and balances are very important.Which gang should be supported, which gang needs to be suppressed, and which gang can dominate.

Mayor Mei has done a good job in this regard. Gangs in other cities often cause trouble, but it rarely happens in Sifang City.His only regret was that he could not find a single powerful gang that could lead the underground business in Sifang City.

If there was such a person, he felt that he could lie down and rest completely, without having to worry about anything.Niutoushan Village is the one he is more optimistic about. The boss knows the rules very well and knows what can be done and what cannot be done.

But first of all, they are bandits, and their status is worse than that of beggars.Secondly, there are too few people in Niutoushan, so they may not be able to suppress other gangs.Therefore, Lord Mei gave up this idea.

As for private matters, City Lord Mei did not have three wives or four concubines.Before he went to join the army, Lord Mei was just an ordinary person who had an engagement with his childhood sweetheart.They agreed that when the city lord came back from serving as a soldier, the two of them would get married.

"Then he actually survived? It's unreasonable."

Jiang Li interrupted the third master.She had to complain about this.

The Third Master didn't quite understand and looked at Jiang Li with his head tilted.Jiang Li waved his hand.

"Go on."

Lord Mei's worry is also very simple. If he dies on the battlefield, he cannot let his childhood sweetheart become a widow. It will be difficult for a widow to get married again.

On the battlefield, Lord Mei was indeed very hardworking, and both friendly and enemy forces agreed on this.It was just the stab wound on his waist that forced him to retire early, otherwise the current Lord of Mei City might still become Commander Mei.

After returning, they got married soon.Lord Mei loves his wife very much and is a bit strict about his wife.All the usual salary must be handed over, and a large part of the money extorted from the gang must be handed over, so that a small part can be deducted as private money.The gangs also know it, so they will deliberately keep this share.

"So does he have any weaknesses?"

"I knew you, bitch, had no good intentions! You really started asking about other people's weaknesses that you could exploit!"

"You scared me!"

Jiang Li was a little frightened by the sudden appearance of the Third Master.After giving the third master a blank look, Jiang Li said again.

"That's all I asked. I'm just curious."

"...Many people say that he is greedy for money. For example, this time, he took all the money from the copycat, so he did not attack the copycat. But I discussed it with my eldest brother and Cyclops, and it doesn't look like it. It's more like a transaction, getting the How much money you have, you can do whatever you want. The money that exceeds this amount has not been confiscated by City Lord Mei. Moreover, most of his money is spent on food, and he doesn’t have much to enjoy at home. He will use the remaining money. He built roads, built bridges and built schools. Overall, he was a good man with good intentions."

Jiang Li nodded, feeling that the third master had a high opinion of the city lord.

The third master continued.

"He may think that being an official requires having flaws. This is something in the officialdom. If you are a corrupt official, the only ones you can trust are corrupt officials. You both have the other party's handle, so you can check and balance, and you can do things with peace of mind. . Moreover, in this way, when the gang encounters a problem, they can go to him as soon as possible and go to him with confidence, instead of coming up with ideas to solve it by themselves. If you come up with your own ideas, the trouble may not stop. "

"...He is a great person. He thinks of too many things."

Jiang Li couldn't help but admire.Before this, she felt that the city lord was just a transparent person with no sense of existence.

How shady is a person who can give someone a handle on the design?

This inspired Jiang Li.The city lord became her teacher in this regard.

Seeing Jiang Li meditating there, the Third Master really couldn't imagine what kind of handle Jiang Li was thinking about designing for himself.

So, the third master continued to talk.

"Actually, these are very common things in the officialdom. If you haven't been exposed to them before, you won't understand them."

By this time, they had arrived outside the city.

The city lord has a piece of wasteland, and when he gets close to Niutoushan, there are bandits.Secondly, the soil here is not suitable for sowing.The river is also nearby, flowing through the back mountain of Niutoushan.Over time, it has become a good place for outings and flying kites.

At this time, there were already many men and women here, and their clothes ranged from brocade silk and satin to coarse linen.Some were teaching others how to fly kites, and some were just lying on the grass.

It's just that the poor have to be more selective in their positions. After all, they don't want to have much contact with the rich.

Flying a kite can be said to be easy or difficult.One person holds the string and the other person holds the kite. After running, they wait for the kite to have enough lift to lift it into the sky.

If a gust of wind comes at this time, it will be the most wonderful help.The spring wind is a little cold, but it is very fresh and comfortable.The apricot blossom rain makes your clothes wet, and the willow wind blows on your face without chilling it.And in such wind, it is easier to fly the kite.

But the Third Master discovered that Jiang Li could always break his own lower limit.

"If I tell others that the kite hasn't taken off after flying for half an hour and it's not broken yet, someone will definitely say that I'm out of my mind."

The Third Master looked at Jiang Li who was holding the kite and said.

No matter whether it was the third master holding the kite or Jiang Li holding the kite, this thing just couldn't fly.

Jiang Li looked at the kite.

"Could it be that this kite is for us to practice running?"

"Letting a cripple run can do such an immoral thing."

The third master took the kite.

"Let me try it myself. Our movements are really out of sync."

Jiang Li also found it strange that the two of them had a good understanding of each other in terms of speaking styles.Because of this, their relationship has always been good.But when it comes to action, they just don't understand each other well enough.

"Maybe the demon cultivator is doing something to us secretly."

Jiang Li thought of such a possibility.

The Third Master looked at Jiang Li and said nothing. He just took the kite and tried it by himself.

Just once, the kite successfully flew.

The Third Master slowly lowered the string, letting the kite rise smoothly to the sky, and then handed the kite string to Jiang Li with confidence.

Jiang Li took the kite string and still refused to give up.

"It means that the demon cultivator knew about it this time and let you go on purpose."

"You just don't want to admit your problems, do you?"

Jiang Li shrugged.

On the other side, the Demon Lord of Donglin Mountain looked at the black circle in front of him, where Jiang Li and the Third Master were flying kites.He waved his hand and turned off the screen.

Then I started to feel depressed.

I was tired of seeing Jiang Li's appearance in the photo, so I decided to take action myself.Why was Jiang Li discovered?
Has she practiced anything?
