Mysterious Tang Dynasty

With the idea of ​​buying property again, Li Lijun simply took a tour of the surrounding areas, even the county seat of Hu County.

After all, the old temple is not too far from the county seat. For a practitioner like her, it is very convenient to walk there.

However, the city walls of Huxian County are quite high, and the guards patrol quite conscientiously.Li Lijun found a small food stall on the street near the county government office and ate a bowl of wheat porridge, and found out that the county captain of this county was once a general under the command of General Wang Zhongsi. Come here to be a small county captain.He is talented in himself, and his ability to run the army is also very good. He has a few elites under his command, his in-laws are big families in the county, and he gets along well with the county magistrate.He has all kinds of connections, talents, and subordinates, and he has cleaned up the entire county's nightclubs, and the people in the county are very at ease.

So Li Lijun gave up the idea of ​​buying a house in the county.After all, if she lived in the county town, she would have to climb over the city wall if she went out at night.The soldiers under the county lieutenant patrol closely, what if they run into each other?Even if she was confident that she could get away, there was no need to take the risk.

She picked a few places with good surroundings on the outskirts of the county seat, wrote down the addresses, and started to turn back.

Zhongnan Mountain is actually not far from here.When she looked up, she could see the scenery of mountains and mountains.Even the traces left by Li Wenqi when he took Chen Shi to the underworld after being contaminated by her incense, and then returned to Zhongnan Mountain, were still clearly left in the air, only she, the incense maker, could see it. .

She looked at the mountain where the traces had disappeared, and secretly told herself that sooner or later, she would avenge that day!

Li Lijun turned around and returned to Sanyuan.Along the way, she only used the escape method to run quickly when there were no people around, and walked obediently on two legs when passing through areas with many pedestrians.The Guanzhong area is already densely populated, but she actually spends more time walking.But it doesn't matter, after walking this way, she can also see more intuitively what kind of impact this sudden drought has had on the people.

It is now late March, the middle of spring, although there is still some time before summer, the weather is already much warmer.Most people don't think that the sudden exposure to the sun is abnormal, at most they mutter a few words about why this year's summer came so early.Strictly speaking, it was less than seven days before the climate was really abnormal.The rain is gone, but the river is still flowing. At most, the water level has dropped slightly, but it will not cause any shortage of water.The farmers were busy canaling water to irrigate the land and save the crops, scolding God, but most people didn't think that this would be a protracted drought.

Li Lijun walked all the way, and saw women in the countryside taking their young daughters-in-law to the market or going to the temple to offer incense, talking about what to buy at home this year, and seeing scholars going to Chang'an in groups, arguing with each other about how many days the court had Is it a bit excessive to decide to suspend the closure of Huayue Temple due to the drought?The sage has actually rejected the courtiers' invitation to confer Huashan several times. This year, he finally decided to confer the conferment at the end of the year, but now he suddenly changed his mind. What happened?

Some of those scholars thought that if the sage turned his back on his words and disrespected Huayue, he was afraid that God would be even more angry; People; there are still people who think that it is impossible for a sage to do what he says and what he says, and that such a change must be caused by treacherous ministers who have slandered him!As for who is this traitor?Both Li Xiang and the upstart Yang Zhao were disliked, but relatively speaking, the latter was even more looked down upon by scholars because he was a foreign relative.

These few scholars were arguing endlessly, and they also talked about the topic of "what would happen if I became the prime minister". Li Lijun walked past silently and didn't listen any more.

It is good for scholars to have their own ideas, but are they not afraid of being heard when discussing state affairs loudly on the avenue?Neither Li Linfu nor Yang Zhao are tolerant and magnanimous gentlemen, let them know that some scholars have criticized them, how can they spare them?Why not discuss it in your own home or somewhere more private?

Li Lijun sighed and continued on his way.On the way, she didn't enter Xianyang City, and didn't go to Qiyouguan again, she went straight towards Sanyuan. When it was night, she could rest assured that she would let go of her big strides and go straight back to Saga Mountain Bieye with the escape method.

When we returned to Bieye, it was only the second watch.Erhong was still waiting in her bedroom, and there was also a "Li Lijun" turned into a paper doll lying on the bed, and there was an extra Mrs. Shao on duty outside.As soon as Li Lijun came back, both of them woke up immediately, and gathered around to greet each other.Li Lijun saw that it was getting late, so he sent them back to sleep. If there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow morning.

In the early morning of the next day, after Li Lijun finished her practice at sunrise, she returned to her room, and everyone had already prepared her breakfast.She went there for two days and three nights. Everyone was inexperienced and worried, and it was only then that they were relieved.

Mrs. Shao asked Li Lijun nervously: "Little lady, is this journey smooth? Why have you been here for so long..."

Li Lijun said: "The main reason is that it is not easy to escape during the day, otherwise I would have been able to come back during the day yesterday. But this time, I have gained a lot, and it was worthwhile to go."

After she had breakfast, she took out the spirit stones she earned from selling things this time, and gave Erhong and Qiuxiang's share to them: "Take it for yourself. If you need anything in the future, you can go to the market." to buy."

Erhong and Qiuxiang opened their eyes wide, looking at the pile of spirit stones in front of them, they couldn't believe it: "This... can we get so many spirit stones?!" They usually follow Li Lijun, knowing that she uses spirit stones Shi is quite frugal, Erhong's share of spirit stones is almost enough for her to use the small spirit gathering array for half a month.

Li Lijun said: "The main reason is that your cultivation base is relatively low now, and the technical content of the things you make is not high. At most, they are for qi refining beginners or ordinary people, so I sold them to a small shop that specializes in buying these things. The other party's bid is not high, but it is still honest, and I am willing to continue to accept similar goods. I think this is a long-term business. I just thought it was a way to make extra money for you, so I didn't look for another one. But in the market The spirit stones in circulation are relatively inferior, not as good as our own. You usually use the small spirit gathering array for your daily practice, and use these spirit stones first, and then use our own stock when you run out."

Erhong and Qiuxiang quickly agreed, each put away their share of spirit stones, and looked at each other with happiness on their faces.

Nanny Lu asked Li Lijun in a low voice: "The little lady just said that they can go to the market to buy things by themselves with the spirit stone?" Is this kind of welfare available to everyone?Will her nephew and grandson be able to do the same in the future?

Li Lijun doesn't mind her subordinates seeking some small benefits for herself, as long as it doesn't interfere with what she ordered, so she nodded: "To be honest, there are limited things that are useful to me in the market, and I have to run by myself every time." , It’s too troublesome. After Erhong and the others have practiced the escape method and their cultivation base has improved a bit, I plan to let them run errands for me. I will tell you the passwords to enter and exit the market and the situation of each store. Go, and I have a bottom in my heart."

To be honest, even if she didn't meet Li Wenqi and Xiao Yang in the market, she would feel very inconvenient just by the presence of Taoist Xuanying.In fact, she also made alchemy, even better than Taoist Xuanying, but she never revealed this to him.If she wanted to buy some ingredients for alchemy, just pay for the small portion. If the portion is too large, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will tell Taoist Xuanying.She didn't want to have a conflict with this person.Although he has his own little Jiujiu and is a disciple of Zhenxian Temple, his character is still passable.

She will use him to inquire about Zhenxian Temple in the future.
