There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 12 Encouraging
  Wang Ping originally planned to punish the thieves based on the situation, but now that someone else is doing it, he will naturally not force himself. After the two men knocked out the thieves, they tied them together, and then interrogated the thieves like an official.

These thieves were very tough-mouthed, but the woman was not a vegetarian. With the slightest hint, the crowd became excited and beat the thief unconscious. If not for the protection of two people, he would have been beaten to death.

The commotion in the camp continued until the city gate opened, and the two men had no time to look for Wang Ping. After dawn, Wang Ping also saw the appearance of the two people clearly. They were both wearing Taoist robes, with crowns on their heads, and the woman's Taoist robes were It was also embroidered with fiery red patterns. The other person was a fat man, wearing the same gray-blue Taoist robe as Wang Ping.

Wang Ping also knew why these two people dared to openly interrogate the thief. The Taoist priest's robe came from the Zhenyang Sect, and the Zhenyang Sect was the state religion of the Xia Kingdom and had the duty to monitor the world.

At this time, a burst of noise broke out in the camp. It was the female Taoist priest who wanted to take the thief to the county government office for questioning. She wanted to find a few people to testify, but most people were unwilling, which caused the female Taoist priest to curse loudly.

In the end, only three outsiders were willing to testify. The female Taoist dragged the thief toward the city gate while cursing all the way, while the other person said nice words beside her.

When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop the female Taoist priest when they saw her robe, so they had to send one person to the government office to report the news.

Wang Ping has been observing all this with a calm mind. Looking at the people in the camp, the city gate, and the caravan near the pavilion, he can't help but think of the Buddhist saying that the appearance of all living beings, together they form the so-called sea of ​​suffering.

Wang Ping's heart is now conflicted. His Taoist thoughts make him subconsciously want to save people in the sea of ​​suffering, but at the same time, he also wants to escape from this boundless sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible.

Yu Lian stuck out her little head, read Wang Ping's consciousness and emotions, followed Wang Ping's thoughts in the spiritual sea, and looked at the appearances of all living beings below.

"I'm hungry…"

"When the market opens, I'll buy you two live shrimps."

"Oh!"

With gentle force on his feet, Wang Ping jumped down from the tree and landed firmly on the official road next to him. He startled some vendors pushing goods on the road. He was relieved to see that it was a Taoist priest.

There are many people coming and going on this official road, and it is also the main official road leading to the south of Zhongzhou. Doing legitimate business here actually makes money very quickly, but unfortunately, desires are unlimited.

Wang Ping smiled self-deprecatingly, expelled all the messy thoughts from his mind, and walked calmly to the city gate. The guards at the city gate saw Wang Ping's dress, looked at him up and down, and let him go without even checking his identity card.

Within two steps of entering the city, Wang Ping saw a stall selling steamed buns. He walked over and bought two hot steamed buns, and then asked the shopkeeper to fill his kettle with water. When he was about to leave, Yu Lian said softly: "Yes. shrimp!"

Wang Ping turned his head and saw a barefoot fisherman in the middle of winter, carrying a bamboo basket and walking quickly towards the market. Wang Ping did not stop him because he looked very anxious. He must have been rushing to the market to grab something. Good location.

"Why do you like shrimp?"

"tender!"

The market in the county town was very small. Wang Ping felt a little nauseous after entering, because it was so smelly, and everything was sold. The meat was game from the nearby mountains and forests, and it was all slaughtered on site, leaving most of the market a bloody mess. Pigs, Livestock such as sheep, chickens, and ducks are sold whole.

Wang Ping bought the shrimps for Yu Lian and exited the market as quickly as possible. Yu Lian had a full stomach and fell asleep wrapped around Wang Ping's wrist.

Wang Ping did not plan to continue traveling today. He had to find an inn to stay for one night, take a shower and change into clean clothes.

When he found an inn, took a shower, washed his clothes, and was about to sit down and practice his Qi, waiting for his clothes to dry before he started on his way again, he was suddenly disturbed by a sudden laughter in the courtyard outside.

It's the female Taoist priest from the morning!

She seemed to have encountered something happy now, and she was chatting non-stop with her companions, laughing while talking.

Pushing the door open... Wang Ping saw the female Taoist priest and the fat Taoist priest sitting on both sides of the stone table in the middle of the courtyard. When they heard the movement, the two stopped talking, and then the three of them looked at each other for a few breaths.

"It's you!" The female Taoist priest recognized Wang Ping, "You are a heartless guy."

"Fellow Taoist... please come this way!"

The fat Taoist priest stood up politely and clasped his fists, pointing to the stone bench next to him and extending an invitation.

Wang Ping also wanted to get to know monks from other sects and learn some truths about the world. His master Yucheng Zhenren never explained this aspect to him.

"Fellow Daoist!"

Wang Ping returned the gift.

The female Taoist priest saw Wang Ping returning the gift, and at the gesture of the fat Taoist priest, she reluctantly returned the gift. Then the three of them sat around and started chatting. The female Taoist priest was indeed a monk from the Zhenyang Sect, and her Taoist name was 'Fengmiao'. He practiced Taoism at Baihe Mountain on Mozhou Road.

The fat monk turned out to be Wang Ping’s destination this time: a monk from the Shangdan Sect, with the Taoist name ‘Chengji’. He had been refining alchemy with his master in Baihe Mountain since he was a child, and had never been to the head teacher of Hushan Kingdom.

Wang Ping knew from the two people that they had arrived here five days ago after chasing a harmful tiger demon. When they met a beggar on the roadside and asked for directions, they learned that the camp owner had caused harm to people, so they went to seek explanation, and finally made a fuss. When they arrived at the government office, the county magistrate ignored him because there was insufficient evidence, so they squatted outside the city to catch the evidence.

"The beggars you saw last night were all passers-by. Not only did they have their money taken away, but also their customs clearance documents were taken away. They could only beg like savages around here, and some of them had fallen into the grass. Kou, they were also wiped out by the government some time ago."

Wang Ping frowned after hearing this, stared at Feng Miao and said, "Do you think the matter will be solved if those thieves are caught in the government?"

"I'm not that stupid!"

Feng Miao stared at Wang Ping unhappily, and then said proudly: "I found out that the person behind them was a garrison in the county. Now he has been taken down by the government. He hit fifty big boards on the spot, knocking everyone unconscious. It’s over.”

Among the books collected by Taoist Yucheng were the laws of the Xia Kingdom. Wang Ping found it interesting and studied it for a month. For ordinary theft cases, the Xia Kingdom usually tortured them on the spot and then sent them home to recuperate. The term imprisonment.

Wang Ping smiled after hearing this and said: "Let's make a bet. I bet that the garrison master was not injured at all. After you leave in two days, he will reappear on the city wall alive and kicking, and continue to do what he did before. business."

"What do you mean?"

"This matter cannot be accomplished by a small defense, and the problems in Yuanning County cannot be summarized by a small theft case."

Wang Ping encouraged: "If you don't believe it, sneak into the guard's house quietly at night and you will know what is going on."

Qianmu Temple has nothing to do with Mozhou Road. It will be difficult for Wang Ping to manage this matter, but Fengmiao is different. Zhenyang Sect is not only the state religion, but also has incense on Mozhou Road.

Xu time in the evening.

Wang Ping, who was meditating in his room, opened his eyes...

Feng Miao did as he thought and took Cheng Ji to the guard's house.
