Master, he raised other apprentices

Senior Brother Quan's expression changed for a moment, Junior Brother Chang at the side obviously also understood Qi Guan's identity, and his expression was also a little strange.

Qi Guan didn't pay attention, just watched He Lao shook his head, and said seriously: "I didn't see the treasure."

Mr. He glanced at the pair of senior brothers, and said with a chuckle: "You Daoist Qi has a wide range of knowledge, and you have seen countless magic weapons and spiritual weapons. My magic weapon is crudely made, and it is really difficult to get into the eyes of the magician. But although the power is not as good as everyone's handwriting, it is worth mentioning. And ingenuity, there are still some merits in my magic weapon, if you have nothing else to do, Qi Daoyou may wish to take a closer look, or maybe there are some useful ones that I don't know."

While he was talking, Senior Brother Quan led Junior Brother Chang and bowed silently before leaving.Qi Guan was not interested in those magic weapons, as soon as he saw that they were leaving, he asked, "Are you leaving?"

Senior brother Quan replied respectfully: "Don't dare to disturb the uncle's Yaxing, the younger generation will leave first."

Qi Guan shook his head, said: "No disturbance."

Senior brother Quan was taken aback when he heard the words, and unconsciously raised his head to look at Qi Guan, seeing that his eyes were clear and his face was serious, not joking, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing this, Mr. He was about to interrupt from the side, but Qi Guan spoke again.He didn't know how to read people's faces, so he just looked at Senior Brother Quan and asked, "Wouldn't you kill a monster to eat people?"

Senior brother Quan subconsciously glanced at Mr. He, but saw that he lowered his eyes slightly and didn't look at him, so he withdrew his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Slaying demons or subduing demons, this junior has shallow knowledge and dare not speak rashly. Senior Jun used the power of thunder to sweep away demons for the human race and protect the people of one side. Speaking of it, it is a great merit. However, the younger generation thought that if the monsters had never done evil, it would not take much effort to remove their bones. If they did evil Human monsters are another matter."

Qi Guan blinked.Senior brother Quan's words were a bit long and tedious, but he half-understood, and after a while, he slowly figured out what the other person meant.He thought about it again, and felt that what Senior Brother Quan said was reasonable, so he nodded, without arguing whether he was right or wrong, he just took out a spiritual fruit and handed it over, saying, "Here you are."

"..." Senior Brother Quan looked at the spiritual fruit handed to him with a dull expression.Junior Brother Chang on the side also opened his eyes wide, looked at Lingguo, and then at Qi Guan.He Lao's eyes moved slightly, and then quickly retracted, as if he hadn't seen it.

Seeing that Senior Brother Quan didn't pick it up, Qi Guan passed it forward again and stuffed it into the other party's hand.His eyes fell on Junior Brother Chang, he hesitated for a moment, he was a little tangled, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Mr. He, who had just touched Xumijiao's hand, and immediately changed from touching to covering.But in the end, he was a little guilty, so he looked away very quickly, and his lips were pursed. After a while, he seemed to be talking to himself, "...no more."

Senior brother Quan held the spiritual fruit for a while, and suddenly understood that Qi Guan was expressing his gratitude.

"Uncle, this..." He looked at the spirit fruit in his hand, a little dumbfounded, "It's just nonsense, uncle is magnanimous if he doesn't blame him, how can the younger generation deserve such a generous gift from uncle, please please Uncle, take it back."

Qi Guan took a step back and said, "It's for you."

He insisted on not accepting it, and the whole senior brother couldn't force it back. After a stalemate for a while, he finally put it away and thanked him solemnly.Qi Guan felt that the matter was over, so he waved his hand, ignored him, and went straight to Mr. He to ask about exchanging spirit stones for gold and silver.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Quan bowed again and led Senior Brother Chang out.After leaving the gate of Baohao, Junior Brother Chang said: "This Uncle Qi is quite different from what I thought..." He didn't know how to judge for a moment, so he pondered for a moment, "He is, indeed, a wonderful person."

Senior Brother Quan sighed: "Uncle Qi is pure in heart and clear in mind, with such a clear Dao heart, no wonder he has such advanced cultivation at such a young age, my generation is really inferior."

Junior brother Chang was silent about it.

Not to mention how Qi Guan was in Wangxian Tower, on the other side, Wang Changshi, who came from Jiang Cheng, also ordered someone to carry a heavy gift, and knocked on the doors of the palaces of the important ministers of the king's capital one by one, but this heavy gift was not good. send out.

Li Shangshu, who is in charge of the treasury's money and food, just talks to him in an official tone. The reason is that the treasury is tight, and the rivers have to be dredged, and the borders have to be sorted out. Money is used everywhere, and there is no turnover everywhere.

Li Shangshu sighed: "Master Jiang and His Majesty's mother and compatriots are respected by gold and jade. How dare I neglect this official? The treasury is really empty and there is no money and food. Even if you want to relieve Jiang Cheng's worries, you have no power. I also hope Wang Changshi After turning around, I will tell you the truth, and if you come to City Lord Jiang, you can also understand the difficulties of the court."

No matter how much Wang Changshi tried, he refused to agree.

Wang Changshi had no choice but to say at last: "I actually have one more important thing to do when I come to Beijing this time." He took out a document from his sleeve pocket and presented it to Li Shangshu with both hands.

Li Shangshu took it over and took a look, his expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Wang Changshi: "What does Changshi mean, Jiang Cheng mainly dedicated the magical arrows made by immortals to His Majesty?"

Wang Changshi nodded: "That's right." He sighed, "Nowadays, the plague of monsters is becoming more and more serious, and how many cities are suffering from the invasion of monsters like Jiangcheng. The city owner can't bear the recurrence of such tragedies, so he specially invites the immortal teacher I have created sharp weapons that can deal with monsters, but I dare not treasure them without authorization, and I intend to present these treasures to Your Majesty."

Li Shangshu held the document in his hand, with a half-smile on his face: "This thing is certainly very strong, but I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money?"

The bed crossbow has always been a military weapon to defeat the enemy, and with the addition of magic arrows, even an illiterate beggar will understand that it is a treasure. However, Li Shangshu is in charge of the treasury's money and grain allocation, and the first thing he thinks about is the cost.

The high cost means the expenditure of a large amount of money. If only a hundred or so magical arrows capable of shooting monsters are made, it is naturally affordable with the financial resources of the treasury. There are only one or two branches in a border town, which is really difficult to accomplish; if more are built, the border town soldiers will be happy, but the calculation will cost an astronomical figure, and Li Shangshu does not have a cash cow in his house, so where to move Come out with so many silver taels?

Furthermore, His Majesty today is somewhat ambitious. If he saw such a sharp weapon, he might have the idea of ​​conquering the world and resorting to military force, which would be detrimental to the country.

not to mention--

Li Shangshu said: "City Lord Jiang can't bear the people being invaded by monsters and beasts, and he has a heart of compassion and love for the people, which is really commendable. However," he changed his voice, "in my opinion, there are immortal masters guarding the various cities to protect them. The common people are healthy, so there is no need for such extravagance."

Wang Changshi wanted to defend himself: "Li Shangshu..." But he was interrupted just as he started.

"Wang Changshi!" Li Shangshu raised his voice and said sternly: "No matter how powerful this magic arrow is, can it surpass the magic of the fairy family? The fairy can kill dozens or even hundreds of monsters with one move and one throw." Beast, this magical arrow can kill two monsters?!"
