There's something wrong with this guy

Chapter 10 Fame and Profit

After getting this book, Xi Huanyan felt relieved that he had got what he wanted. He opened it and read it carefully. He saw that it was divided into six chapters: Feng Shui theory, living method, burial method, carpentry method, construction method, and mechanism method.

At best, her eyes touched the fur of carpentry.

Mrs. Ooyan rarely left without turning around. She pointed at the woodworking method with a small stick, and dropped a book. This time it was a picture book, which was full of various patterns and objects.

She ordered a cup, a basin, a bogu frame, a beauty couch, a boat, and a nine-story pagoda.

Xi Huanyan felt that the old lady wanted her to make these things, so she did not dare to refuse, and solemnly agreed.

The chapter on woodworking methods detailed the process skills used in the process of making wooden utensils. She slowly pondered and practiced slowly, working tirelessly day and night.

The next day, Xi Qiongdong returned to the village, but the news he brought was not very good, he said angrily to Xi Gao Shui, "Those guys in the Burning Sun Palace don't take me seriously at all, and said they want to invite Samsung The above-mentioned Origin Masters came out and got a big price."

"What?" Xi Gaoshui couldn't hide his surprise, "Why does the Burning Sun Mansion have to pay for it? Didn't they take the empire's salary to deal with this kind of thing?"

"I don't know. I feel that the empire will be finished sooner or later. I heard that the coalition forces of some countries in the Western Regions are very strong, and the entire Tianhuo Dao has fallen."

The administrative regions of the Ronghua Empire are divided into Dao, Zhou, and County from high to low. There are ten Dao, 72 states, and [-] counties in total. Among them, the Dao at the beginning of the five Tian characters is the fortress area, especially the Tianhuo Dao is the entire Eastern Region facing the Western Region. Once the gate is broken, the glory is at stake.

Hearing this news, Xi Gaoshui's thoughts of migrating out of the final mountain range to avoid disaster went out. The environment inside and outside is not safe, so it's better to stay here. Besides, the strange demons haven't come out for a few days, he said It may have gone elsewhere.

With this thought in mind, he still asked, "How much does the Burning Sun Mansion want?"

"They didn't explicitly say this, but I inquired about it. I have to send a message to the source master of the Burning Sun Palace in private to ask for a meeting, and then come up with a reward that this person is satisfied with. There are rumors in the market. Now I want to ask a three-star source master to take action, at least If you get [-] gold coins, how can a four-star source master start at [-]."

Xi Gaoshui was startled and waved his hands again and again, "I can't afford it, I can't afford it, the whole village can't make up a hundred gold coins."

Xi Qiongdong blurted out, "My wife might have it."

After that, he looked for a remedy and said, "If... if it is to eradicate strange demons, the mistress will definitely not be stingy."

Xi Gaoshui saw his careful thinking and asked seriously, "Tell me the truth, how much wealth Cang Gu has."

"Master spends a lot of money, and he also subsidizes the village a lot. According to his price as a craftsman, after so many years, there should be no savings left, but he sometimes accepts orders to eliminate demons. I don't know how much he charges at one time. Money, if it is based on the outside market, it will definitely be indispensable, and it will never be the little left by what the teacher said."

Xi Gaoshui glanced at this grandson, and his heart was inexplicably happy. He couldn't tell what he felt. It was as if he knew that he had raised a wolf in sheep's clothing. He was a little proud and a little sad.

"Qongdong, you are my grandson, tell me, are you willing to stay in the village to protect everyone?"

Why did the old man ask such a tricky question.

Xi Qiongdong snorted, and quickly slid his eyes at him, "I would like to, but I haven't even touched the edge of the one-star Origin Master, I always need to learn from the powerful, and the village is so small. Great, for the time being, you and a few martial artists in the village are enough."

"Also." He thought about it, "I see that the warlords outside are divided, and joining the army is a good way out. Maybe one day I can become a tyrant who owns one side of the land."

Xi Qiongdong gambled on Xi Gaoshui's feelings for himself, half begging and half temptation, "Grandpa, look, if I go out and make a bloody path, I can't completely shelter Xijia Village under my wings. Good for the village."

"You are young, but your ambition is not small. You have no power and no money, and you still want to learn from others and compete for the world!"

"No, Grandpa, troubled times are the opportunity for us to rise up as Origin Masters. Which high-ranking person didn't start from a humble beginning. For example, the Limen warlord in our Tianshui Road was a street gangster 15 years ago. Do you know what a warlord is? They are all private armed forces that do not obey the orders of the empire, and now the warlords are gathering together, which is a sign of the division of the empire. If we can seize this opportunity, we will not be able to become masters, but we will also have a chance to earn fame and fortune!"

"I think you ran wild with Xi Canggu outside!" Xi Gaoshui threw his arms angrily, but there was not much anger on his face.

Seeing that there was a drama, Xi Qiongdong dared to persuade him again and again, until Xi Gaoshui said to him, "If you have this skill, go back to the patrol team first and protect the village. You can't even protect the village, and the rest is all overthinking. "

Watching his grandson Yan stumble out of the door, Xi Gaoshui seemed to be sucked out of his body, collapsed on the reclining chair, took out a pocket watch from the inner pocket of his robe, and wiped it carefully.

His wife came out of the back room, dropped the rag, and said with a smile, "Your grandparents are the same people."

Xi Gaoshui rolled his eyes at her not very reservedly, "The most unwilling thing in my life is to stay in the village."

Xijia Village's dedication to Master Yuan is engraved in his bones and in the rules.

When he had just awakened to the origin of his soul, he and his clan were out shopping for daily necessities, and the special recruitment announcement of the Burning Sun Palace was posted on the notice board on the street.

As long as he took a few more steps, he could step into the gate of the Burning Sun Mansion.

But he was coaxed back home by the clan, and was left behind by his parents crying and yelling. The clan also used the temptation of interests to the extreme, smashing him into a daze with a bunch of benefits, and he promised not to leave.

Later I heard that in that special move, all the Spiritual Awakeners and Origin Masters who signed up were hired.

Do you regret it? Of course you regret it. Compared to the resources of the empire, the point given by the village is a petty profit.

His wife sneered at his unwillingness, "You have taken all the benefits of the village, what are you talking about, besides, the clan elders are all staring at it, you can't leave, Qiongdong can't leave, you will be stabbed in the spine if you leave. scolded."

It is the patriarch who speaks in the clan, but the most authoritative is the clan elder.

There are ten clan elders, all of whom are highly respected in the village. They are responsible for important matters such as joy, funeral, genealogy, family law, school, collective hunting and gathering, and other than that, those who can be qualified as clan elders are not Yuanshi. They have a common responsibility, that is, to represent the will of the village, retain the source master, and improve the survival probability of the village.

If you dare to leave, they can bring the whole village to kneel for you, including your parents, grandparents, and uncles. Who can stand it!
