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

Chapter 5 Ugly Girl
  After several officials, they were followed by two stewards inside and outside the Wang residence.

Manager Wang, the foreign affairs manager, was a pot-bellied man with a shiny face and a philistine appearance. As he walked, he got close to several officials.

On the contrary, Yu Yuan, the housekeeper who rarely appeared in public, had a calm expression, a sharp gaze, and bulging temples, which showed that he had good kung fu.

The two stewards of Wang's residence. Steward Wang is a third-generation domestic slave. He was originally a tenant in the outer courtyard. He gradually gained the attention of the master's family and is now responsible for the purchase, cashier, personnel increase and decrease of the palace, etc.

Yu Yuan, on the other hand, is a relative of the eldest young lady of Wang Zhai's family. She came here as a dowry with the young lady and has little involvement in the affairs of the palace.

Most of the time, he personally protects the young lady and several young relatives of the Wang family, and is also the instructor of the Wang family nursing home.

"Sir, these are the ones who left the mansion today. Take a look."

"Don't worry, adults! My royal residence is well guarded and no water can enter. How could I let that villain sneak into the residence?"

"Besides! If that villain had really sneaked into the house and killed people, his body would have been discovered long ago. How could he have waited until today?"

Butler Wang kept shouting haha.

The expressions of the officials did not change, but they looked at Yu Yuan behind them.

"What do you mean by everyone?"

A square-looking, upright man asked.

Several other officials also showed some enthusiasm.

Seeing the reaction of the Registrar, Steward Wang couldn't hold back his smile. He glanced at Yu Yuan hatefully, but said no more.

Yu Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "The guy from Luzhangke got that magic skill from nowhere, and his cultivation level has skyrocketed. I'm afraid he will soon enter the realm of enlightenment and insight.

If he is within a hundred feet of me, I will definitely notice him. Once he exceeds this distance, it will be difficult.

But Luzhangke just doesn't take action. Once he does, he will definitely take someone's life. If the magic power is contaminated, his evil spirit will remain to some extent. Whether it is true or not, you can tell at a glance. "

Several officials nodded in agreement.

"That's offending." The upright man said just now.

"Nephew Hou Xian, please help me." Yu Yuan nodded calmly.

The clerk, Yu Yuan and others were talking to themselves, leaving Li Qinglin and other tenant servants aside.

But everyone is used to it.

Why should the strong care about the dignity of the weak?

The rare kindness comes only from the willful restraint of the heart.

"Everyone, I'm offended."

The Dian Lisi named Hou walked up to Li Qinglin and others and held his hands slightly.

Before Li Qinglin could react, this person's temperament... suddenly changed drastically!
  His eyes were deep and sharp, and there was a torch-like divine will passing between his pupils.

The body, which was only eight feet tall, now seemed like a lonely figure rising from the ground!
  The huge sense of oppression made everyone feel like they were falling into the abyss, and their whole bodies were instantly wet with cold sweat.

The muscles and bones are wailing, the blood is frozen, and the vision is pale...

Li Qinglin was shocked.

Is this the warrior of this world?
  Master such otherworldly power!

Just one look can kill the world!
  And this is just a warrior, what about the legendary cultivator?

"Cuck!!"

The silent toad chirps suddenly sounded.

Li Qinglin's heart beat violently, and he faintly broke free from this terrifying mental pressure.

After a few breaths,
  "Alas!"

"Just now, what happened to me just now?"

"Okay, so scary... I seem to see that I'm too milky..."

In the blink of an eye, the huge oppression just now disappeared, like an illusion.

The cold air drifting from the tree-lined avenue brought everyone back to reality.

One by one, they collapsed on the ground like mud, gasping for air.

The guards on the side were also silent, keeping their eyes on the tip of their noses.

The Dian Lisi named Hou took a deep look at Li Qinglin, turned around and left.

"Not here. I would like to ask everyone to lead the way. I heard that the palace is known as the Ten Pavilions and Nine Courts, so I just took this opportunity to take a look inside the palace."

"Haha, please." Yu Yuan chuckled.

"Boss, have you discovered anything?"

A man with narrow eyes and a somewhat cold expression noticed something strange about the official named Hou.

The official surnamed Hou's eyes did not change, he shook his head and said: "Nothing, I just seem to have found something interesting. But it has nothing to do with the arrest, so don't add any extraneous details."

The man nodded silently, turned around and glanced at Li Qinglin and others. His eyes changed. He didn't know what he thought of, and he followed immediately.

……

Xiangfeng County has a vast area, and the whole area is in the shape of "Hui".

It is divided into inner city, outer city and shanty towns built on the outer city.

Relying on foot alone, ordinary people would have to walk for several days to get back to the shanty towns from the inner city.

On the carriage leaving the outer city, Donkey's face was a little restless, and his mind was filled with thoughts of the heroic appearance of the clerk just now.

He was also very ambitious, and after the initial panic, he fell into excitement and envy.

"That's a warrior, so awesome... Brother Lin, I've decided, I want to practice martial arts too!"

"Practicing martial arts requires hardship and money."

Li Qinglin was still thinking about the strange behavior of Xinchan just now, and now he replied smoothly. "Money...I will sell the house when I get back! Endure hardship? People like us are still afraid of hardship?!"

Donkey's face was full of ruthlessness.

Li Qinglin raised his head in surprise. He didn't expect Donkey Face to be so aware.

Donkey Face is an orphan. His mother died in childbirth and his father is an alcoholic.

Four years ago, his father sold him to the king's house as a slave, and all the money he earned was used to buy alcohol. As a result, he was targeted by underground gangs in the shanty town, and he ended up losing both his life and money.

But luckily, Donkey Face was left with a shabby room and a land deed.

"Cui Cui is not young anymore. If she really waits until she reaches old age, Wang Zhai will forcibly fire her!"

"I must practice martial arts and become a warrior in order to protect her!"

Donkey Face said firmly.

Time passes, and the carriages and horses roll by.

A few hours later, the carriage drove out of the inner city.

Clatter, like an ink painting suddenly falling into a frying pan.

Busy and lively, noisy as a cauldron.

There are wine shops on both sides of the street, crowded with people, and the cries of various vendors come and go.

"Chenghui, one penny." The groom tightened the reins.

It's not easy to live in a big house. As soon as you leave the royal residence, there are places to spend money everywhere.

After paying the fare, Li Qinglin said goodbye to Donkey Face and other tenants.

Although Li Qinglin and Donkey Face were on the same road, Donkey Face had made up his mind to sell the house, so he needed to hurry up.

According to Dajiang law, when buying or selling real estate, you need to find a guarantor to ensure the fairness of the transaction, pay deed taxes, transfer ownership, etc.

So Donkey Face takes the lead.

Li Qinglin touched the money bag he kept close to his body, bought some candies and pastries at the pastry shop, and bought a pair of diabolos, one large and one small, from a street vendor.

After thinking about it again, he walked into the store and carefully selected a pair of boots that were waterproof on the outside but lightly plush on the inside.

Black, stain-resistant.

In this way, almost half of the three months' monthly payment was spent.

Li Qinglin's expression seemed to have shrunk along with his wallet.

He walked hurriedly towards the shantytown.

……

The once wide and clean streets gradually became narrow and crowded.

The yamen patrolling the streets whipped the animals that defecated indiscriminately. Many old farmers smoked big cigarettes and gathered in the streets to wait for work.

In the dark alley, it was muddy and messy. It seemed like a wild dog was eating something, making a squeaking sound.

Faintly aware of some eyes, staying on himself.

Li Qinglin hugged the gifts he bought for his family tightly to his chest.

Cross the streets.

The street in front of me is much cleaner and livelier.

Vendors on the left and right sell colorful fabrics of various colors.

Many women shuttled among them.

The smell of dye hung in the air.

This is the famous "Flower Cloth Street" in the shanty town, which has always been famous for the production of satin, linen and coarse cloth.

Of course, brocade, damask, and silk, which require more rare materials and craftsmanship, are not produced in the Flower Cloth Street.

Even if they dare to give birth, no one dares to accept them.

"Commander, the satin silk dyed by Liu Qiaolian's family is missing a few steps, so the quality is a bit worse."

"Well... Then buy it at half price, put it into sacks, and send it to the Luqi Gang."

"The flow of people is not bad today, and all the stalls have been rented out. Thanks to the director, the market is booming!"

"Haha, Axi, Axi, among all the people from all over the country, you have the sweetest mouth! Go get a piece of satin later and make some new clothes for your sweethearts."

"Thank you, Commander! Thank you, Commander! By the way, Commander, Widow Li is so unlucky-looking. I'm worried that she might offend the guests and drive her to the corner.

Widow Li, I have said many times that it would be better to sell the cloth to us, but she refuses and insists on making a few more big bucks! I really fell into the eyes of money! "

"Widow Li... Oh, you mean the Widow Li whose husband died and her eldest son committed himself as a slave?

Haha, okay, just do it, just rush to the corner to sell cloth, lest anyone poke me in the back and say I bullied a widow! "

The tea is hot, and the steam is rising.

The director of Huabu Street and his subordinate Axi were sitting lazily in front of an Eight Immortals table, drinking tea and giving pointers.

The large and small streets in the shanty towns and the traffic are extremely complicated.

But snakes have snake ways, and rats have rat ways.

The government will set up a military patrol shop three hundred steps in every lane. In addition to the military patrol shop, local famous and reputable old men will also be appointed as 'collector leaders'.

As small as a few members of a specific family, as large as the livelihood of the entire neighborhood, they have considerable rights.

At this moment, they didn't notice that a young man with a lot of travels and a lot of bags was passing by them.

When the young man heard the words 'Widow Li', his steps slowed down a little, and then he blended into the crowd.
