Mortal Immortal Gourd

"Xiaowu, that man died a long time ago. There are many men in the world. Why should you be obsessed with him?"

In the city where Ergouzi escaped, Zhu'er sat on a big rock with a dull expression and stared blankly.

"There are billions of men in this world, whether human or demon. As long as you nod, I can find you the one you like."

Zhu'er seemed not to hear it. She still sat there and stared blankly.

Last time, Caiyi Niangniang brought Zhu'er back to the cave and found many different types of men for him to choose from.

Human, demon, demon, sea tribe, ghost tribe, zombie, barbarian tribe...

All races have been found.

From one-legged to dozens of legs.

Zhu'er didn't like any of them and kept thinking about the little liar who was not a good person at first glance.

"Fool, I'm telling you, I'm very accurate in judging people. That man is just cheating on you."

"Why do you have to do this for a liar..."

The Lady Caiyi has been following Zhu'er and has been persuading her for a long time. She is now worried, helpless, and regretful...

"Among the men in the world, except for my Ergou, I think all the other men are hateful and boring, not even one ten-thousandth as good as Ergou."

Zhu'er, who had been silent for many days, suddenly spoke, as if she was talking to her elder sister.

It also seemed like she was talking to herself, maybe just what she was thinking at the moment.

"Only Ergou is the man I have been waiting for 1,000 years."

"Maybe he really cheated me, but I like being cheated by him. I am very happy to be with him. With him, the whole world is bright..."

When Zhu'er said this, a blush rose on her face, which had been dull all the time.

"Alas...Fool..."

The Lady Caiyi sighed, very helpless...

People in the world only know the poison of their clan, but not the foolishness of their clan.

If you don't love someone to the extreme, how can you bear to eat the one you love.

If you don't dare to be eaten by the one you love and become one with him, how can you prove that you are sincere...

………………

On Shekou Mountain, Er Gouzi took pills every day to practice. With the help of a large number of pills, he made rapid progress.

Although his cultivation level did not improve, his magic power increased day by day.

When he just built his foundation, his dantian was only five inches, and his magic power was pitifully small. It took five days to refine a Xuanyuan pill.

Now he can refine a Xuanyuan pill a day, and he still has some time to spare.

Even though the refining speed has increased so much, it still took him two full years to refine all the pills he picked up over the years and make them part of his strength.

He had taken that purple gold pill before, which expanded the sea of ​​dantian to seven feet and six inches.

After two years of practice and taking hundreds of Xuanyuan pills, his sea of ​​dantian has increased by another five inches.

Now it has reached eight feet and one inch wide.

After finishing all the pills, Er Gouzi temporarily left Shekou Mountain and walked around.

The border and the monsters were still in a stalemate as before.

The monsters pretended to attack every once in a while, and the shouts and screams were deafening.

After the war, the biggest casualties on both sides were just skin abrasions.

And the shouts and screams were too loud, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Fatty Chen had long been accustomed to the monsters' fighting style, and he just used the monsters to train his soldiers.

He had recruited more than a thousand good seedlings in the nursery in recent years.

In addition to teaching and practicing every day, they practiced military formations, and sometimes they were pulled to the battlefield to see real swords and guns.

In the past, where could he find such a good sparring partner?

Next, Er Gouzi showed up in the monster army as a donkey general, and everything was normal in the army.

And this time when he returned to the monster army, he got an unexpected surprise.

The three counties that the old ancestor Feng promised to reward him before have finally been settled and officially assigned to his name.

However, the location of these three counties is not connected to his Sanyang County.

Instead, it is at the border with Luoxi County.

Now there are several monster tribes living in his territory, which have moved from the rear.

And his territory is now in the midst of war.

General Chilin suffered a great humiliation and has been thinking about revenge.

Even if the Qingzhou Army took the initiative to admit defeat, he would fight with the Qingzhou Army every now and then.

For the time being, he could not govern the territory of these three counties.

After serving as a general in the monster army for a few days, he found an excuse to leave, and then contacted Ma Jing in the identity of Hu Lao Mo and received some intelligence from the undercover.

All of them were news from all over Qingzhou and the Xia family.

From the intelligence he had, he found that in recent years, the counties of Qingzhou had almost not paid taxes to the court on the grounds of war and disaster.

These counties paid some small things to the court symbolically, and then cried poor desperately, barely completing the tax payment task of the year.

Moreover, he learned from the intelligence that the taxes that these counties should have collected from the local people were not less than a grain of grain or a copper coin.

Then these counties divided a part of the money they received among themselves, and handed the rest to Qingzhou Prefecture.

This meant that Xia Mingyuan's Qingzhou Prefecture had embezzled all the taxes that should have been handed over to the court.

Not only did Xia Mingyuan embezzle the taxes that the court should have received, but he also cried poor to the court every once in a while.

He said that Qingzhou was in a dangerous situation due to war, and asked the court for various benefits.

Er Gouzi saw Xia Mingyuan's series of operations and realized that it was possible to do this.

He suddenly felt that he had really lost a lot over the years.

He didn't ask the court for a single spiritual stone, but instead paid so much tax.

He was still too honest and was prone to big losses.

The officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not friendly to honest people like him.

As soon as he returned to Sanyang County, he also wrote a memorial to the court to ask for benefits.

His Shanyang County was also in a dangerous situation, and he had to fight a big battle with the monsters every once in a while.

He had been working hard to recover Liusha County and Xiaoyi County, but the monsters were too strong and the team suffered heavy casualties.

He hoped that the court would grant him a bucket of foundation-building pills and some other benefits to help him recover the lost land.

In this way, he had more legitimate reasons to recover the lost land than Xia Mingyuan.

As for the taxes that Sanyang County should pay every year, Er Gouzi still paid them out of his own pocket.

After all, the emperor was very good to him. He had paid all the taxes he should pay, and he hoped that the benefits he should ask for would not be less.

After writing the memorial, he inspected Sanyang County again, and then returned to Shekou Mountain to practice again.

Although the Xuanyuan Pills were all eaten, there were still many Xuanyuan Grasses that he picked up, and he happened to be a wild alchemist.

He refined all these Xuanyuan Grasses into pills and got more than a thousand Xuanyuan Pills.

He continued to take pills and practice...

Day after day, year after year, and three years passed.

He had also eaten all the Xuanyuan Pills that he had refined.

In these three years, he took more pills and used them for a longer time, but the result was that the sea of ​​​​the dantian was only four inches wider.

Now his sea of ​​​​the dantian has expanded to eight feet and five inches.
