I just want to be stable, I was hung up and became a Valkyrie

Chapter 158 Dao Gao
The roof terrace of Jingcheng Building.

In the silence, only the sound of flipping through the papers kept ringing.

Shen Qian looked neither fast nor slow, and the surprise in his lowered eyes became more and more intense.

Yes, he was completely taken aback by himself.

42 scavengers.

There are 18 beginner martial artists from seventh to ninth dan, 11 intermediate martial artists from first to fifth dan, and the remaining 13 people are all above intermediate [-]th dan!
There are even two people who have reached the ninth rank of Zhongwuzhe.

As for the time of their death before and after, it is judged that the difference will not exceed half an hour.

But Shen Qian knew that the system actually only took 7 minutes.

Fortunately, unless the prince took action, it would be impossible to calculate such an accurate time, or it would be impossible to explain it.

At this moment, Shen Qian suddenly understood why Chai Haotian had to suspend his transcript, and even directly classified this file as top secret.

This is actually a form of protection.

Try to erase Shen Qian's traces in this matter as much as possible, and also cover up this appalling battle.

"Thank you."

Shen Qian closed the file and returned it to Chai Haotian, and at the same time thanked him sincerely.

"From my perspective, your aura is probably at the level of a warrior who has just broken through?" Chai Haotian put the file into the space spar, and asked at the same time as if he wanted to keep it personally.

Shen Qian was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.

He was almost deceived by his own inertial thinking.

He knows that he is a second-tier beginner warrior, but others don't know... Obviously in Chai Haotian's eyes, he has killed so many people at the level of a beginner warrior.

...But it still seems appalling.

"Mingjian, the city lord, just broke through not long ago." Shen Qian admitted.

Chai Haotian just stared at Shen Qian for a long time, then he let out a long sigh.

"At the beginning, I really wanted to adopt you as my adopted son, but unfortunately, I'm a bit deliberate now." Chai Haotian shook his head, expressing his thoughts very bluntly.

Shen looked sideways for a while.

I take you as the city lord, but you actually want to be my father?

"A person as amazingly talented as you, Chai has never seen in his life!"

Chai Haotian said with his hands behind his back, "I don't even ask you how you did it, just pretend that you haven't been out of town tonight."

"Thank you City Lord!"

Seeing that there was no need to bother to explain, Shen Qian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Chai Haotian was silent for a few seconds, then he suddenly raised his head as if he had made up his mind.

"Shen Qian, do you want to take up a post in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Take a job?" Shen Qian was startled.

"Well, it's just a casual job in the Secretariat, which won't delay your schooling, but you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to perform duties in your spare time. The Secretariat is a very special department, and you can get in touch with many affairs."

Chai Haotian explained.

"Why?" Shen Qian vaguely guessed something, but he was not too sure.

"In the blink of an eye, I have been in Jingcheng for almost ten years. According to the rules, my term of office is almost up. It is time to find my next successor."

Chai Haotian didn't hide anything, and said softly.

Train me to be the next Lord of Jingcheng?
Shen Qian raised his head in surprise, feeling that Chai Haotian was somewhat hasty.

"I know that you are worshiping under the prince's family, and you have a bright future, and it is the time when young people are high-spirited. You may not be able to see the position of the lord of a city, but there are many things you don't understand. You can listen to it before making plans."

"City Lord, please speak."

Shen Qian could only nod when he heard the words.

"The city lord must be a mountain and sea, but not every mountain and sea is qualified to be a city lord. In addition to the strength and character that must meet the standards, there is actually another very important reason, do you know?" Chai Haotian asked.

"Is it related to 'Tao'?" Shen Qian had heard Shi Dingyan and others say something before, and asked immediately.

"good."

Chai Haotian nodded, "There are tens of thousands of 'Taos' in this world, but there are actually not many avenues that reach the sky, and among these avenues, there is one that has existed since ancient times and can be seen or even touched by everyone." road'."

"The way of the emperor?" Shen Qian thought for a while, and then realized it.

"Or it can be called Wang Dao for short."

Chai Haotian nodded, and then continued, "The way of the lord of a city is actually the way of the people, and the way of the people can be regarded as a kind of kingly way. The kingly way is easy to develop, but it is difficult to go for a long time. The same is true for the people's way, but if you Become the lord of a city, and you will directly forge the Dao foundation and rise up!"

"Sorry, City Lord Chai, I don't quite understand, what is 'rise from the road'?" Shen Qian frowned.

"Mountains and seas are based on Dao, and Dao is the ultimate standard to measure the strength of mountains and seas, and Dao...has a height."

"high?"

It has to be said that Shen Qian was really immersed in this topic.

It just so happens that he has recently obtained Tantai Qin's Dao veins. If he knows more about this aspect, it will be beneficial and harmless.

Although...a novice martial artist discussing the Dao with mountains and seas always feels weird.

"Where is the end of Tao?" Chai Haotian seemed to be happy to talk more with Shen Qian.

"Tongtian."

These are Shi Dingyan's original words, and Shen Qian directly quoted them.

"Since you want to reach the sky, isn't it normal to have a height?" Chai Haotian said meaningfully.

"Is this height... the height I thought it was?"

Shen Qian's complexion became a little weird, and he subconsciously glanced at his feet.

"It's similar."

Chai Haotian smiled faintly, "Take Jingcheng as an example. On the day I took up my duties in Jingcheng, I became enlightened in one day, and my enlightenment was three feet high."

"Sanzhang... how strong is it?"

Shen Qian obviously had no idea.

"Well, ordinary mountains and seas are only two feet away."

"That's not bad."

When Shen Qian heard it, he probably had a feeling.

In other words, Dao Gao Sanzhang has exceeded the average level.

"Shen Qian, you may not understand what a special state mountains and seas are now. Asking, seeking, and clearing the way... Every step must be cautious. I have seen countless talented people, but after the mountains and seas, they disappear. Everyone."

"It's hard to ask, it's hard to find the way, and it's even more difficult to open the way!"

Chai Haotian stared at the starry night sky, his face was full of emotion.

"Some people make great strides in the beginning and seem to be thriving, but they just disappear like a meteor, and soon stop, and even struggle for decades without making any progress!"

"There are also people who can't even take the first step, and finally shrink back and have to go against their own heart and choose to follow the path of others, but that is almost tantamount to giving up the future, just to get the status of a strong mountain and sea. ..."

Shen Qian nodded slightly, thinking of Lao Liu for no reason.

Liu Changqing has probably been stuck on the first step for a long time, and has not been seen recently. He is probably holding back his energy to seek a breakthrough, and he doesn't know when he will succeed.

"But as the lord of a city, he can perfectly avoid most of these problems."

Chai Haotian turned his head to look at Shen Qian, his eyes were bright.

"You don't need to make your own way, but it doesn't follow the way of others. You still have a bright future. Most importantly, you can become a mountain and sea in the shortest possible time!"

"Just like me, it only takes one day, and you can even become a strong man in the mountains and seas in a very short period of time!"

"Aren't you Shanhai before you became the city lord of Jingcheng?" Shen Qian asked suspiciously, "As long as you are a high-level warrior, you can run for the city lord?"

"That's not true." Chai Haotian shook his head, "Although legally speaking, peak fighters are eligible, but the reality is that Shanhai has to queue up for election."

"But if you become a mountain and sea, doesn't it already have a way?" Shen Qian was even more puzzled.

"Who told you that there can only be one Tao?" Chai Haotian smiled.

How many roads can you go?

Shen Qian's pupils shrank.

At this moment, many puzzles were easily resolved in his mind.

For example, Shen Qian still can't see what path the big brother Gao is taking.

For example, Shi Dingyan, the way he walked probably has something to do with 'rituals', which was accidentally slipped by Lao Liu, although Shen Qian couldn't understand it either.

But thinking about it carefully, it fits well with some of Shi Dingyan's usual performances.

As for the boss Gao, Shen Qian felt that he was extremely mysterious, as if he knew everything.

Perhaps the teacher has not only gone one way.

"Of course, there are very few mountains and seas that can walk more than two paths, and even rarer ones have achieved something. Most people can't even understand one path, let alone two."

"And once there are more Taos, it is easy to confuse yourself, so most people don't do this."

After Chai Haotian finished his explanation, he stared at Shen Qian again, and said with a smile, "Although it is normal for Shanhai to run for the city lord, you are special, and I have enough confidence. Serve as city lord."

"You already bear part of Jingcheng's luck, plus your unprecedented and terrifying talent, nothing can stop you from ascending to the top!"

So far, Shen Qian has roughly understood Chai Haotian's thoughts.

The other party let him enter the city lord's mansion to perform his duties, just to pave the way for him.

If Shen Qian agrees, it means that he can be promoted to Shanhai at the fastest speed, greatly shortening the time for growth.

"City lord, what you said just now are all the benefits of becoming a city lord, so what about...the disadvantages?"

Shen Qian was unusually sober.

If the city lord is really that good, it would be difficult to explain why none of his eight senior brothers and sisters took this path.

"Your xinxing has improved a lot compared to when I first met you."

Chai Haotian praised without hesitation, and then said with his hands behind his back: "Of course there are disadvantages, that is, once you accept the public opinion of your city, you and this city will have a relationship of prosperity and loss."

"The way of the people is very special. If the city is thriving, your way will rise steadily under the direction of the people, but once the people's opinion collapses, you will be tortured, and you may even be backlashed by the way. The most serious result..."

"It's like the Lord of Lu City. Although he was not in Lu City at the time, when Lu City fell, he also fell at the same time."

Isn't this life and death together?
Shen Qian could understand.

In fact, he himself analyzed another possible drawback.

That's the future of promotion.

It is true that the civil road is a road that can be increased rapidly, but the development of the city will eventually encounter bottlenecks.

No matter how awesome you are, if you turn a third-tier city into a first-tier city, your Tao may be very high, but I'm afraid it's far from reaching the height of the sky.

The people of a city are only one city, and since the people's way is the same as the king's way, if it comes to an end, I'm afraid it will include all the people in the world.

This is almost impossible to do under the current social background.

"Master Chai, there is one more thing I don't understand. You...why do you help me like this?" Shen Qian didn't quite understand.

It stands to reason that Chai Haotian is about to step down as the city lord, but in fact he doesn't need to think so much anymore.

"Probably because I really hope that this city will get better and better. Of course, it may also be because I am also affected by the people's morals and will unconsciously think about the future of this city."

Chai Haotian's eyes flicked across the lights of the city, full of deepness.

"I... probably won't take this path."

Infected by Chai Haotian's words, Shen Qian did not hide anything.

It is enough to bind one system, but it would be too heavy to bind the lives of the whole city.

"Actually, I guessed it too." Chai Haotian's eyes were slightly sad, "A top genius like you, who doesn't go after a prince who can reach the sky, it doesn't matter."

"But please don't worry, the city lord. I, Shen Qian...although I don't want to be a city lord, but I am also from Jingcheng." Shen Qian said softly.

"That's right, I'm the one taking pictures."

Chai Haotian let out a long breath, and put away his slumber, "Student Shen, I hope you will not change your original intention, maybe Jingcheng... will really need you."

"It's my duty to do what I can." Seeing Chai Haotian's solemnity, Shen Qian also replied solemnly.

Chai Haotian seemed to be quite satisfied with Shen Qian's attitude, and casually chatted with Shen Qian for a few more words, and then ended the conversation.

"This restaurant is already closed, but when we visited late at night, the boss came here specially. It's not good to let people go for nothing. I still have important things to deal with. If the former student Shen is not in a hurry, he can stay. Try the specialties here, it's a must.”

Chai Haotian laughed, "In addition, although tonight's incident is not publicly recorded, there are still rewards that should be given. According to the normal reward standard, the total reward for these 42 scavengers is 39 million... ..."

"so much?"

Shen Qian was taken aback.

The scavenger bounty he received before seems to be only 5000 yuan each...

Oh, I forgot, the realm of those two scavengers is just below beginner warriors.

Thinking of this, Shen Qian was relieved again.

The average bounty of hundreds of thousands of warriors is considered normal.

After all, mid-level warriors are rare among social warriors.

"It's just that the money has to be paid from the municipal government, so I'll make a change on my own and only allocate 1000 million to you."

"a piece of cake."

Shen Qian, who was in a good mood instantly, readily agreed.

"By the way, does City Lord Chai know where these scavengers came from?"

Shen Qian remembered the previous question and couldn't help asking.

"It remains to be investigated."

Chai Haotian shook his head after hesitation.

Shen Qian vaguely felt that the other party had something to say, but it was not easy to ask.

……

Saying goodbye to Chai Haotian, Shen Qian looked at the boss who was waiting eagerly beside him, but he really stayed, planning to try the special dishes of this garden restaurant which is very famous in the whole city.

Facing a table of feasts, Shen Qian extravagantly opened a bottle of 77-year-old red wine.

"With good wine by your side, how can you drink it alone?"

Shen Qian had just sobered up and was about to pour the wine into the glass, but a chuckle had already sounded.

Shen Qian turned his head, and there was a long-haired young man with a wooden sword on his back on the edge of the roof, watching Shen Qian with a smile.

"Fifth senior brother?"

Shen Qian stood up in surprise.

The person who came was Ling Xiao who hadn't seen him for some time.

"The breath has grown considerably again, not bad."

Ling Xiao sized Shen Qian up, nodded in satisfaction, then sat down and poured a glass of wine on his own.

"Fifth senior brother, why did you go back to Jingcheng?" Shen Qian and Ling Xiao clinked glasses, wondering at the same time.

"Of course it's because of you." Ling Xiao smiled again.

"Me?" Shen Qian was stunned.

"Seizing the sky formation."

Ling Xiao simply spit out four words.

Shen Qian realized in an instant, because he took back the Dao stone, and the big brother Gao also set up a seizing formation that could benefit all people of cause and effect.

In terms of cause and effect, they, the direct disciples of Daxie Gao, naturally bear the brunt.

"Little brother, I really didn't expect that I haven't helped you with anything yet, but I'm going to take advantage of you first." Ling Xiao said with emotion.

"Damn, Fifth Senior Brother's words are too outlandish, didn't you help me before without Yagu?" Shen Qian waved his hand.

After finishing speaking, Shen Qian's heart skipped a beat, and he asked again, "Then will all the brothers and sisters come back this time?"

"Well, at least most of them, and there may be some who really can't get away." Ling Xiao nodded.

Shen Qian's curiosity suddenly arose again.

Of the eight senior brothers and sisters, he has dealt with four of them.

The third senior brother is elegant and reliable, the fifth senior brother is chic and reliable, the eighth senior sister is soft and reliable, and Lao Liu... don't even mention it.

But I don't know what kind of thighs the other four look like?
