Dragon Cub's Bizarre Adventure

"I hope that the one who comes here is not some righteous person who protects his shortcomings." But when I think that the other party will raise foxes near the village, I guess even Zhengdao has a personality that is both good and evil with a three-point evil spirit. Most of these people have a personality Weird, even if their minds and minds of cultivating the Tao have eased and improved their nature, but think about how much their bad temper has improved oo...

——Thinking that a land god may come to find fault at any time, just because of two fur foxes, the temple owner feels wronged!

However, Liang Zi has already tied the knot, so we can't kill the junior brother on the spot, right?This is not a mortal gang, how can there be such a reason, then we can only bite the bullet and wait for someone to come to the door, as for the matter of skinning and making weapons, we can only postpone it.

Chapter 180 Two

Chapter 180 Two

"I said junior brother is idiot, you can give me something to eat!" As soon as he returned to the temple, Taoist Master Lingxu said with a toothache in his head, "How many times have I said that we are people who cultivate the Tao. We are not the arresters of the Demon Suppressing Division, what we cultivate is the Tao, not the name or the law, do you understand?"

Famous scholars refer to one of the hundreds of schools that study the definition of things. The famous "white horse is not a horse" comes from famous scholars.

"Brother, you can't just sit back and watch the monster make trouble in the village, right? Besides, putting this fox in the village, absorbing the energy of the ancient tree outside the village, and destroying the balance of the surrounding five photos, no matter how you look at it, it's not a decent thing to do."

"...We are a Taoist school, not a famous one. Why are you so obsessed with whether this is a decent thing?" Taoist Lingxu is not very good anymore, what he does is decent is just that the Jianghu people have strict rules and discipline, and the disciples of the school have integrity. It is only the generalization of the sect, and the famous ones try to cram everything into this kind of rules and regulations. Taoism never talks about this.

"Besides, we are not legalists. Taoist precepts are to restrain ourselves, and at most it is to alert fellows. It is not you who use this as the law to regulate the world!" The most troublesome thing is that this guy always feels that his own rules are the rules of the world. He was going to act for the sky, and Daoist Lingxu really wanted to say, "Who are you, you are not even an earth immortal, so you can act for the sky?"

"Forget it, those two foxes will just be kept in the back mountain for a period of time, and they will be returned to them when their parents come to the door." Daoist Lingxu is already very tired. Seeing through most of the monsters' illusions and disguises at a glance, it's just that people are a little too axis.

People in Jianghu divide sects into good and evil sects. In fact, these Taoist and Buddhist sects don’t talk about this at all. They practice precepts not because they are decent, but because they practice precepts to be classified as decent. For this " It is extremely unwise to lose one's "reality" because of one's name.

"Brother, how can you just return it like this? What if they let it out again to do evil?"

"Then what are you going to do?" Daoist Lingxu was also a little annoyed, why is this person so stupid?

"At the very least, you have to be punished with small punishments! No matter how restrained you are, you must not release monsters..."

"And then? What if they disagree?"

"That……"

"Senior brother, I have said it countless times. We are cultivating the Tao. As long as it does not affect our Tao or violate the heart of heaven, we should let go of things a little bit. Why don't you listen? God has the virtue of good life, What does it look like to fight and kill all day?" Daoist Lingxu rolled his eyes.

"And we are not the group of Legalists. Even the Legalists have a theory of power and Taoism. We don't occupy any of them. What's the matter?" "If this stupefied young man really wants to continue pestering, then it is impossible to ask for the torture rod.

"But if you just return it like this, wouldn't it be..."

"If you hadn't made a move before, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened!" Daoist Lingxu glared at this guy. What a fart you are.

However, that refers to "people who have achieved success in cultivating the Tao". For these people who have not yet attained the Tao, superficial and emotional disputes are still the main cause of disputes. Otherwise, what are the precepts of various sects used for?That's what it's for.

This is also the reason why the other party's teacher is required to come to the door, because reaching a certain

The realm, the natural state of mind and the pattern have also reached a certain level, at least easier to deal with than those disciples who are impulsive.

"I sent you out just to sharpen your temperament, but in the blink of an eye you made it out like this for me. For the next six months, you can retreat in a quiet room. When will you practice the Jingjing Sutra to the second level? What? Time to come out!"

The reason why he didn't return it directly to others before was because he had already made a move. To go back at this time is to admit that he is not as good as others. When the other party has not revealed his sect, it will damage the reputation of his sect.

Of course, cultivators don't care about those appearances, but the reputation of the sect is related to the difficulty of preaching, and it is also related to the acquisition of various resources for practice, so it is natural to be extra cautious—after all, those mortals who have not yet started care about appearances In order to find good preaching disciples, the sect also needs to have a certain reputation.

This door is not for monks, but for mortals. This can be regarded as a kind of helplessness and tempering that practitioners must experience. If you have never experienced these flies and dogs, the world of mortals, and you have never entered the world, how can you be born? ?

"Brother!"

"I've made up my mind, so let's do it." Daoist Lingxu sighed, "You look at that little lady, but she has blood in her body?"

"nothing"

"Then the fox on her shoulder, there are traces of blood eating on her body?"

"nothing"

"Okay, when the little lady released the fairy sword, how did you feel about the sword energy?"

"Qing Lie Vigorous" thought for a while and replied, "The tobacco leaves are verdant and dusty, and the frost skin peels off the purple dragon scales, like an ancient pine."

"Then how long do you think it will take you to practice this kind of real photo to achieve this taste? Also, can someone who has really gone wrong have this taste of hard work?"

"Since he is not cultivating evil methods, and his words and deeds are not domineering, then do you think the other party is from that kind of sect that thinks highly of itself and is extraordinary?" Daoist Lingxu certainly doesn't look at people from the superficial. Look, that's why, I wasted a little time and didn't have time to stop my junior from committing suicide.

"You, I asked you to go down the mountain and practice your ability to see people's spirits. In the end, you were lucky. You really thought you were going to slay demons and demons? To slay demons and slay demons, you must first practice a pair of tricks , you are born with heavenly eyes, this is a gift from heaven, but you should not rely too much on it."

"Senior brother taught you the lesson." Now that he has calmed down a bit, in retrospect, he was indeed impulsive, and he was indeed too dependent on the sky eye, and finding those disguised monsters was directly defined as conspiracy.

And once a definition is given to the other party first, then all subsequent behaviors of the other party will intensify this perception and cognition. It seems that in the future, it is indeed necessary to use this kind of natural supernatural power less.

"Go, go to seclusion honestly." Daoist Lingxu shook his head, and he didn't say a word. The relationship between the fox and the little lady is probably not the relationship between the owner and the pet. The junior experience can't tell, but He is different, obviously aware of the unusual relationship between these two, and then thinks that the little lady is probably in the form of a fox.

But this metamorphosis, even the younger brother's celestial eyes can't see it, and he discovered it by reasoning. This shows that there are indeed transfiguration and illusions in this world that the celestial eyes cannot penetrate. protecting him.

He relies too much on this innate supernatural power. Today is fine. He encountered an existence that the sky eye could not see at the door of his house. What if he was walking outside?I'm afraid it's not like I can't even save my life.

The exercises given by Xiaoxiao do have some tricks, but the essence is still the life, soul and body of the Great Zhou, and the way of combining the three treasures. In other words, the true

Although it is unavoidable that the photo will have the attributes and taste of a sword, it will also have the kind of aura that has been tempered like a cliff and an ancient pine, just like the real photo of a real Da Zhou Tian Qi refiner.

Although there is no substantial effect bonus, this mysterious and mysterious feeling is an invisible symbol of the orthodox identity of Xuanmen, which is why Taoist Master Lingxu is so polite.

Luoyang City

"Little Twelve, let's just forget about it?"

"I'm going back to the mountain to discuss. I still have a mission to go down the mountain this time." Li Zao sighed. As for the eldest sister and second sister, I hope it's still a live fox at this time, not a fox skin.

Among the purchasing tasks, those ingredients are the simplest. Luoyang is the ancient capital, and it is still the accompanying capital. The market is extremely prosperous, and all kinds of caravans trade here, especially the Grand Canal dug by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, which brought goods from the south. , here you can even find goods and teams from Forin (Rome).

There is no market for olive oil in the Central Plains. People don’t like to eat raw vegetables, and there are not so many seafoods. Therefore, the businessman from Folin finally hoped to come to Li Zao, a high-flyer who buys oil whenever he sees it. , not only poured out all the olive oil on hand, but also attached a beautifully crafted lead oil pot.

"Brocades from Shu, red silk from Guanfang, and...these crude wooden utensils." Li Zao removed the purchased items from the paper one by one, while Liu Niang happily gnawed on a sheep's hoof.

"Sixth sister, you really need to practice your illusion, even a Taoist priest can see through it."

"Why should I practice that?" The little fox was confused, "It's okay to use it to avoid trouble when you're staying in the hotel, but you can't fool those Taoist priests anyway, no matter how you practice it, it's the same, why don't you go back to the mountain and ask the teacher, Xiao Twelve, It would be better to give my sister a set of incarnations like you learned."

"For the rest, just find a few clever handymen. I asked someone before, it seems

You have to go to the human market. Speaking of which, can humans even buy and sell their own kind? "In the past, I only knew that human beings would catch those spirit beasts that didn't transform into skins or sell them directly, but I never thought that even humans could be bought and sold directly. It's amazing.jpg

"By the way, has Little Twelve found a disciple to accept?"

"No." Li Zao seemed to have misunderstood something. She really thought about going down the mountain to find a few reliable juniors and juniors, but the teacher didn't say what kind of disciples she wanted, but only said that they would be smarter and more understanding. , Literacy will do.

Therefore, based on the commonality of the current disciples on the mountain, she formulated the recruitment criteria. First of all, she must be able to read, at least be able to read classics. It takes a certain amount of knowledge.

Then you have to be honest and do your duty, at least you can work in the fields, those few waste materials are about to eat up all the rice on the mountain, and they complain all day long.

Finally, the age should not be too old. After all, it takes at least three or four years to get started with "The Way of Swordsmanship". It is estimated that people will be almost middle-aged before they get started.

On top of this, considering the average appearance in the sect, she also added that she should not look too dull and ugly. Under such a bunch of restrictions, it is naturally extremely difficult to find disciples.

However, it’s not like she herself is like this. In fact, other sects are the same. It’s easy to find outside disciples and handymen who learn a little superficial and foreign skills. However, disciples who can really teach the Dharma are usually recruited after several years Not come in one or two.

First of all, those who have this understanding and knowledge are mostly from wealthy families, and these families will not send their children to the mountains to learn Taoism for a bite of food, so many Taoist temples have enlightenment classes, just to start from a baby Otherwise, it is better to count on the disciples who directly find the finished product than to count on God to throw a banishment down.

And those families have devoted all their wealth to cultivating such a reading seed so that he can become an official in Yurou Township and protect the whole family, not to let him pursue the ethereal way of immortality

Even if he wants to pursue immortality, wouldn't it be good to send him to the town of demons?After all, he is also an official.” Ah, most mortals still seek secular fame and power, and the attraction of immortality is only greatest for those officials who have no choice but to seek longevity in high positions—unfortunately, these people really can only It can be described as repairing a fart.

Secondly, if you have to be honest and know how to farm, then you have to be born as a small landlord from a good family. That kind of person will choose to be a soldier even if his brain is not good enough. It is also a way to develop.

In the end, she also added the two barriers of appearance and age. It is already difficult for other sects to find disciples without picking age, let alone she picks not only age but also appearance. The reason why the disciples finally let the dynasty send them here by themselves.

Therefore, Li Zao’s correct approach is to recruit a large number of children aged 3 to 4 to go up the mountain to be Taoist boys, and then teach them characters, enlightenment, and select those seeds suitable for Taoism among these Taoist boys, come down one by one, and wait for them Ten years later, at the age of 13T4, they will be able to pick out one or two who are just barely there.

However, that kind of sect has been in business for a long time, and the surrounding mountain farmers are happy to send their children to the mountains. After all, although it is not as good as being an official, a Taoist priest with a degree is also a good way out, at least he can have a meal.

But Wanxiang Jianzong is surrounded by the sea, even if the farmers in Jimo County want to send their children to the sea, they can't get on the fairy boat through the blocking of those soldiers, can they?Of course, it's hard to say if there are any young heroes like Li Zao who go out on a boat to find immortals by themselves.

Moreover, Wanxiang Jianzong couldn't find a few teaching talents in the first place, and it was difficult to cultivate them from an early age. However, most of the sects that have just established their sects have come here. There are two or three cats, big and small, and the generations are diligent. Work hard, develop sects, wait until the second or third

After ten years, you can use this method.

In a few hundred years, the surrounding peasant households will be protected by him, and they will have enough vassals, so they can naturally choose carefully instead of looking for suitable disciples all over the world.

"Forget it, let's get rid of the handyman first, or rely on those few wastes to cultivate the land, and people will really starve to death on the mountain."

"Trash? Are Little Twelve's juniors and juniors really bad?"

"The qualifications are not bad, but..." But the attitude is too bad. The most important thing is that no one farms the land just waiting for the rice to fall from the sky?

"Well, then Liu Niang, I can probably get started, right? I can grow rice anyway!" Liu Niang said confidently. Li Zao took a look at her and felt that what she said made sense. Otherwise, don't limit yourself to How about human beings, monsters and spirit beasts?

Chapter 180 Three

Chapter 180 Three

The human market is the place that best reflects the difference between people and people. The people standing under the stage are people, while the ones on the stage are animals that look like humans. The buyers are like picking animals, each holding their chins. Look at the teeth, look at the muscles, and then pay to take these docile and tame figures away.

These are private slaves. Those bankrupt farmers are forced to sell themselves as slaves. They belong to the lower class. Usually they go to mines, workshops of noble families, Zhuangzi and other places.

In addition, there are official slaves, some are prisoners of war, and some of the family members of criminal officials are sold as slaves. Of course, there are some special ones, those caravans from the Western Regions will bring some beautiful female slaves and robust male slaves.

However, this kind of imported product is relatively expensive. For example, a strong black slave can be sold for more than 5 gold at this time, which is quite a high price.

In the human market, the most expensive little girls are girls with floating shells, because usually the buyers are those big families who buy them back and train them to be maids and maids, and also buy various brothels and Chu houses from here, followed by certain ones. Craftsmen, such as carpenters and the like.

The third is healthy young adults who are bought back and trained as servants, servants, and workshop workers. The lowest level is those bankrupt farmers and ordinary women and children, because not only cannot they be put into labor immediately after buying back, but they also have to lose money to support them. .

Half-sized boys eat more and do less work, so some of those half-aged and handsome girls are willing to pay for it. After all, let alone the oiran, if they cultivate a slightly famous lady, they can earn at least 200 gold. Income—compared to the amount of money invested) is a huge profit of more than 300%.

- Unspeakable in the city, - a kind of recorded and spoken impulse rushes to the face, so numb

Human figures are waiting for customers, while those who still have a little bit of hope and vitality crazily sell themselves to any possible buyers. This is a group of talking cows and horses, a group of human-shaped animals, and their cruelty is even worse than The cattle and horse market next door.

"Little Twelve, aren't they human too? Why did they become like this?

"I don't know, let's get out of here quickly, I'm very uncomfortable here." In fact, except for people who have completely lost their conscience or are completely numb, no one will enter the market, listening to the noisy bargaining and Can I remain indifferent to the pleadings that fill my ears

In a sense, this is also the reason why a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. He can't bear to hear it, but he can't give up cannibalism, so he can only turn a blind eye. I have a kind heart, and I don't want people to suffer, so I drive them away.

"Two noble ladies!" As soon as they came in, Li Zao and Liu Niang, who had copied her with illusion, were targeted. It seemed like they were here for the first time, and they looked like fools with a lot of money. Yazi, who was in the shop, would come over to say hello right away.

This kind of customers who seem to be timid and do not know where to start are their favorite customers. Usually, because of a little conscience, they will buy those "goods" that have not been sold for a long time, and sell them. a good price.

Otherwise, how did the rumor spread that the foot and teeth of the car and boat shop should be killed if they are innocent?

"I, I'm coming..." Li Zao didn't know how to speak, so he could only hand the written note to the other party. This kind of performance made those people overjoyed—quickly conveyed the information through gestures and eyes. One by one, another fat sheep with a lot of money and stupid people came, so he slaughtered her well.

After delivering the message, when I looked down, my expression became very weird, requiring honesty, literacy, and good looks—are you here to buy a servant, or to find a champion?

"You two, this price is not cheap." Although it is difficult to ask, you can always find some, for example, the family members of criminal officials are typical examples. To be honest, those official slaves are the most difficult to sell.

Not only because these people usually don't have much viability, but also because they still have a little bit of official relationship in the past, and they don't dare to beat them too much. At least ordinary landlord families dare not buy them, and those rich and powerful have their own families. Having a child is not worth buying these hidden dangers of living.

Therefore, most of their destinations are sold to places like kilns or Xianggongtangzi. In comparison, those frontier prisoners of war sold are relatively more popular.
