It’s too difficult to cultivate immortality, so I used a strange beast to clone myself into a Taoist

Chapter 4 Leaving the Mansion
  Freeze spring water into smoothies and prepare them in the hospital in advance.

Before he was free, Manager Wang said again that the sun was good today and a batch of rice noodles that had returned to the tide needed to be moved to the barn to dry.

Li Qinglin and his group of insect-raising tenants rushed to the barn without stopping.

threshing floor.

As the sacks were opened one by one, the musty smell gradually filled the air.

Everyone complained while carrying the sacks.

Busyness and physical fatigue are the easiest ways for people to lose their ability to think.

Donkey Lian only felt that Li Qinglin seemed to be much more energetic and energetic, but he didn't think much about it anymore.

Seeing the rice worms crawling out from the spread rice noodles, Li Qinglin's expression remained unchanged, and he slowly picked up the rice worms and put them into the small bamboo basket in his arms.

The small bamboo hat is shaped like a lunch box, flat and flat.

Fortunately, the paper fur is already loose, and it can't be seen even if it is hidden in a small bamboo mat.

Of course, there is no risk even if Li Qinglin is discovered.

As a laboring tenant, it makes sense for him to carry a lunch box with him, right?

After drying the rice and noodles, he waited for several hours and then carried them back to the warehouse.

Feed the horses, sweep the yard, and make fresh food for autumn insects.

After finishing all this work, the sky had already darkened and I couldn't see my fingers.

Li Qinglin and several other tenant farmers ate the leftovers from the kitchen in a few mouthfuls.

They were so tired that they didn’t even want to say anything, so they went back to the hospital to go to bed and rest.

The cold fog is gradually settling.

The sound of snoring could be heard from the neighboring yard.

Li Qinglin then opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

After a day's work, he didn't feel much tired, but he felt a little empty due to lack of oil and water in his stomach.

Push away the wellhead stone on the well.

There is already a bombe toad as big as the palm of an adult clinging quietly to the crevices of the rock wall.

The green skin on the front of the bombe toad is emerald and brightly colored, and the orange stripes on its abdomen are like burning stars.

The strong limbs are like suction cups that firmly hold the body, and are topped by a pair of emotionless protruding eyes.

But perhaps because he had been looking at it for a long time, Li Qinglin found the bombe toad more pleasing to the eye and more adorable.

The oozing and dense warts have a strange beauty.

[His avatar: Bombe Toad (2% transformation)]

I stuffed a few mouthfuls of smoothie into my mouth to temporarily suppress my hunger.

Li Qinglin opened the bamboo cover.

The rice elephant is eaten by the bombe toad like a tornado.

As the food is gradually digested, the progress bar of Bombe Toad suddenly changes to 3%
  This bombe toad is also slightly stronger.

"It's a pity that as the bombe toad grows and metamorphoses, the nutrients provided by ordinary rice weevils, maggots, and moths are becoming increasingly insufficient, unless they are larger insects such as crickets...

A small half box of rice elephants only provided 1% progress, and I also put a lot of knife into it. "

Li Qinglin sighed.

A faint stream of heat suddenly appeared from Li Qinglin's heart toad and surged into a blood sac.

"absorb!"

Li Qinglin gathered his thoughts and barely controlled the closure of the blood sac, forcing the stored blood essence and blood to flow to the limbs and bones.

"Hurry up and exercise!"

Li Qinglin began to jog in the yard. When his body became more flexible, he did bodyweight exercises and even did lunges while holding the stone at the head of the well.

The wellhead stone weighing more than a hundred pounds only made Li Qinglin feel slightly strenuous.

Half an hour later, the essence and blood were completely absorbed by the body, and Li Qinglin slowly stopped.

It was already winter, and the wind was biting in the courtyard, but Li Qinglin, wearing thin clothes, did not feel cold at all.

On the contrary, the limbs and trunk were warm, as if soaking in a hot spring, especially from the joints and bone seams, there was a faint numbness from time to time.

This gradually getting stronger feeling is really fascinating.

In just two days, Li Qinglin has gradually figured out the magical function of his heart toad, and can even control the closure of the heart sac superficially.

Needless to say, the Heart Toad itself has a blood-carrying capacity and heart muscle strength that far exceeds that of ordinary people.

The blood sac growing on it made Li Qinglin feel like he had opened the door to a new world.

Today's blood sacs, thirty-six in total, can be freely closed.

When closed, the essence and blood are stored and can be used as spare power in critical moments.

When opening and closing, it circulates throughout the body, which not only nourishes the body, but also relieves fatigue and improves endurance...

In the past two days, Li Qinglin fed the bombe toad many times and fed back a total of four strands of blood.

Li Qinglin was not stored in the blood sac, but was completely refined and absorbed.

The top priority is to grow rapidly with radical and courageous momentum, rather than blindly stacking armor.

In fact, Li Qinglin's muscle strength did not improve much, after all, two days were too short.

However, it has repaired the shortcomings over the years, made up for stability, and even eliminated some of the wear and tear that had hurt the joints.

In other words, before the Heart Toad was activated, Li Qinglin could only exert 56% of his strength, but at this time, he could exert nearly 90%.

The recruitment ability of nerves and muscles is greatly increased!
  "The efficiency of bodyweight exercise is too low. It takes half an hour to digest a ray of blood."

"There are large and small gyms, martial arts arenas in Wangfeng County, and even the royal residence has a nursing school. I don't know if the exercises and Qi nourishing methods practiced by those warriors can improve the efficiency of digesting Qi and blood."

"I remember... you can spend money to practice martial arts in the outer academy of Wang's residence. Although they only teach low-level skills, it still costs eighty taels of silver."

Eight taels of silver?

Dajiang Guang cast Tongbao copper coins, unified weights and measures, and promoted merchant trade.

One coin is one coin, ten coins is one tael, and ten coins is one tael!
  Li Qinglin's monthly salary was only ten yuan, and eight taels of silver required Li Qinglin to save for more than six years without eating or drinking!

"Kung Fu, Kung Fu..."

The law is not taught lightly, and the teacher is not sold cheaply.

It is not easy for poor people to learn the exercises.

Li Qinglin stood there and thought for a long time.

Obtaining the skills and fully utilizing the advantages of his clone is the top priority!
  Thinking of this, his eyes darkened.

"Tomorrow I will visit relatives and leave home. I, Li Qinglin, am going to grow old again?"

……

The next day.

In the middle courtyard of Wangzhai, there is a special insulated main room.

Li Qinglin, Donkey Lian and other tenant farmers stood quietly in the hall.

Several "big river jars" are placed in a dark place. The big river jars are a foot and a half tall, two feet in diameter, and have a three-piece earthen bottom.

On the outside, the dead tree bark is wrapped in sand and soil, moistened and then stacked up in layers.

These large river jars are the vessels in which these insect eggs hatch and even the larvae grow. Master Ma is an unsmiling middle-aged man with slightly frosted temples and a slight hunchback.

Li Qinglin heard that Master Ma also practiced martial arts in a gym in Fengfeng County in his early years. Unfortunately, his qualifications were mediocre and he did not make much achievements.

Then he turned to studying the method of raising insects, but instead he became a talent.

at this time,

Master Ma carefully inspected the jars one by one, and selected a few insect eggs. Finally, under the anxious eyes of Donkey Face and others, he nodded slowly,
  "The quality is pretty good, and the survival rate shouldn't be low. You guys have been paying attention to it these past few months. I will give Manager Wang truthful feedback."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present let out a long sigh of relief.

Master Ma is a bit rigid. Although he has never deliberately made things difficult for the tenants who raise insects, he will always hold his mistakes accountable, and there is no room for any sand in his eyes!

In addition to Xiao Liu who was still lying on the bed, there were several tenants who had eaten and fucked him before!

Donkey Face and the others were afraid of him!
  "We have finished raising autumn insects, but there are still winter insects! I heard that you are going home to visit relatives. It just so happens that when you come back, the winter insects will be transported to the city."

"Go out."

Master Ma waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave.

"Go home!"

"Go home!"

"Let's go, let's get the money first, then go back to the yard to get the things!"

As soon as Donkey Lian and others came out of the main room, they immediately became energetic and beaming.

Li Qinglin also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before a few people went to the accounting room, they saw an ordinary-looking, petite and exquisite maid, who seemed to be rushing over quickly and stopped everyone.

"No, how many of you are there?"

Li Qinglin's gaze rested on a money bag held in the maid's hand.

Bad thoughts suddenly appeared in my mind.

The maid nodded, counted the number of people, then raised her head slightly, and said somewhat condescendingly,
  "Manager Wang is considerate of you and spares you a trip to the accounting office. He specifically asked me to transfer the payment to you."

"Get it!"

After that, he turned around and left without waiting for anyone's reaction.

"He's such a bastard, why does he only have twenty-four dollars? And he got a 20% discount?! He still has six dollars?!"

Donkey Lian counted the coins in the purse. He was stunned for a moment, then turned red. He held the purse firmly with one hand and clenched his fist with the other.

The rest of the people were either angry or shocked.

However, no one dared to come forward and ask Butler Wang for an explanation.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

They were tenant farmers who were sold into slavery, and Manager Wang was a third-generation slave who was given the surname Wang!

There is a difference between closeness and distance, dignity and inferiority!
  If they dare to cause trouble, they should first make a big deal, regardless of whether they are right or wrong!
  Li Qinglin suppressed the anger in his heart and looked gloomy.

"This old bastard won't let us go to the accounting office because he just wants to line his own pockets, deduct money from it, and use the yin and yang account books!"

"If we don't know what's going on, we may not even be able to get out of the middle courtyard."

As his eyes moved around, he saw that everywhere he looked in the middle courtyard, there were strong servants and guards.

"Hmph, let's go!"

Everyone suddenly lost the joy of returning home. They returned to the courtyard, packed their bags and walked towards the back door of the royal residence.

Several nurses were guarding the back door.

Seeing Li Qinglin and others coming, the nurse took a step forward and began to verify the warrants for everyone to leave the house and check the items in their bags one by one.

Shake out the clothes and open every side bag.

Break the pastry apart and examine the filling carefully.

Open the letter and roughly browse the text...

After a while, a nurse nodded with an inexplicable smile on his face,
  "Okay, let's go to the darkroom next to us to clean up and check. Don't be afraid, as long as you don't bring anything you shouldn't bring, it will be done soon.

You may even like it..."

Li Qinglin and others looked at each other.

Walking into the darkroom, Li Qinglin saw a tall and thin man standing in front of the sink, washing his hands calmly.

"It really makes me unable to rest for a moment."

The tall and thin man was a little helpless and glanced at Li Qinglin and others.

He stretched out his extraordinarily slender fingers and took out a glove as thin as cicada wings and as white as a whole from his arms.

Put it on slowly...

A cold voice came: "Who comes first?"

Li Qinglin's eyes twitched.

After a while, some strange sounds came from the dark room.

……

After a cup of tea time.

Li Qinglin walked out of the darkroom with a complicated expression.

After waiting for a while, he saw his face was flushed and he had a vaguely reluctant donkey face, and he walked out of the dark room with his buttocks covered.

Li Qinglin opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But in the end he remained silent.

After the cleansing inspection was over, everyone fell into a strange silence.

Pick up your bags and cross the threshold.

Outside the house, there are wide tree-lined streets and quaint streets, passing through the dust of time.

The breeze brought the fragrance of flowers, and the faint sounds of vendors' cries and craftsmen's hammering came from a few streets away.

At this moment, the trembling and majestic Qiuchong, worried about the cleanup and inspection, gradually faded away.

Li Qinglin's whole body relaxed.

but,
  "stop!"

The next moment, like a roaring tiger in the forest, the sound of violent shouts exploded on the spot.

Everyone froze in place.

Behind Li Qinglin, a group of people came quickly.

The navy blue robe is delicate and capable, embroidered with different unique patterns, and every line is as smooth as flowing water.

The clothes were fluttering, and there was a rustling sound in the air.

The movements of these people were like dragonflies on the water, and their footsteps were extremely soft.

With his right hand, he pressed lightly on the scabbard at his waist.

A chilling and cold aura rushed towards my face!

"We are the officials of the Yamen, and we have been tracking the heart-stealing criminals here. You are not allowed to leave until your identity is found out!"
