Taoist help me live forever

Chapter 256 Huang Xiaoliu's Second Adventure

The sunset is westward.

The afterglow shines on the quaint city wall of Wangshufu City.

On the neat and wide official road, there are caravans coming from afar.

A row of monster beasts that had been tamed and as tall as Zhang Xu pulled a huge truck and stepped on heavy and slow steps, their shadows stretched very long on the ground.

A van at the rear of the line.

Several caravan guards gathered together, talking briskly about their happy place after returning to the city.

"Captain Huang, brothers discussed going back to Chunfeng Building to clean up the dust, do you want to come together?"

Huang Xiaoliu, who was sitting at the back of the truck watching the sunset, froze for a moment before recovering.

"No need, a cup of tea in Chunfenglou costs three spirit stones, and ordering a girl costs ten spirit stones to start, I can't afford it.

With that spirit stone, I might as well practice for a while. "

"Hey, Captain Huang, you are living a tight life, and our group of subordinates are all worried about you.

The Datong Association didn't urge you to pay back the debt, and there are still people rushing to pay back the money these days. "

"That's right, I heard that the Datong Association is about to disappear. Captain Huang, the spirit stones you have paid back all these years are probably for nothing."

"That's right, I heard that almost all the real people who owed the Datong Association millions of spirit stones have reneged on their debts, and the Datong Association can't even hire people to collect debts."

A group of guards were chattering, talking about Team Yellow's pedantic and inflexible.

Huang Xiaoliu was noncommittal, just smiled and said:

"This is the last debt. After I pay it off, I won't owe anyone else. Even if they don't remind me, I wouldn't have had a chance to make a breakthrough if there was no Datong Association back then.

As a human being, I still want peace of mind. "

"Tsk tsk, the yellow team is still open."

"However, this is also what I admire the most about the yellow team. When I wanted to join the caravan, my uncle who was in charge of the caravan recommended the yellow team to me first.

Not only is his strength outstanding, but he is also a man. "

"Zhang Min! Can you please stop talking about your uncle, you can say it eight hundred times a day."

"If you are capable, you can also find an uncle who is in charge. I am happy to have an uncle."

"Ha ha……"

A few guards, who had gone through robbery and were regarded as close friends of life and death, were noisy and laughed very happily.

Huang Xiaoliu rested his head on the cargo, and a smile could not help but hang on the corner of his mouth.

According to the market price of about 17 spirit stones for a Foundation Establishment Pill back then, he repaid it for a full [-] years, with a total of about [-] spirit stones.

After joining Palace Master Chu's demon-eliminating army half-freely and half-forced back then, these foundation-builder cultivators can be said to have done the hardest and most tiring work, taking the least and lowest spirit stones.

In the past ten years of military career, nearly half of his comrades have been lost, and he himself has lived and died several times. There are three second-level monsters who have personally ended their lives, and he has faced the third-level monster king many times.

But he still didn't pay off a spirit stone of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

It was enough, but Palace Master Chu's in-laws who occupied high positions in the Demon Elimination Army intercepted their military merits and salaries.

There was a dispute about wages before, and I don't know how to solve it in the end. I heard that even Palace Master Chu came forward.

It's just that the monks who led the trouble never appeared again.

Afterwards, their salaries were slightly increased, and there were fewer troublemakers.

It's not that I don't want to make trouble, it's just that the price is too heavy.

After all, the arm can't twist the thigh.

Not to mention that they are not even arms, at most they are hair strands.

Later, the beast tide subsided, and the demon-eliminating army also disbanded.

He joined the current caravan as the captain of the guard by relying on his qualifications in the demon army, and it has been more than eight years.

His boss gives him two thousand spirit stones every year. He usually sits in the trading company, but he has to go on two escort missions a year.

However, he needs spiritual stones for his daily practice, and he also needs subsidies for the life and practice of his relatives in his family. In addition, he has to pay off his debts, so his life has been very tight.

Up to now, the whole family of the Huang family still lives in a rented house.

Huang Xiaoliu thought back on the turbulent ten years, and thought that the debt would be paid off soon, as if he had let go of a big stone in his heart, and he was full of confidence in the future.

In any case, he was more grateful than complaining to the Datong Association.

If there is no Datong Association, he is still far away from the day of foundation establishment, and he may have brought his family back to Huang's house to continue farming for the master and the young master.

After all, Fucheng is good, but life is not easy.

And he will be able to take root in Fucheng right now. If one of the descendants of the Huang family has a good qualification, he will be able to study in the Fucheng in the future and have the opportunity to worship Xuanyangzong.

Even if you can't join the Xuanyang Sect, you still have a great chance to join some Jindan Sects as disciples.

Those Jindan sects have gymnasiums in Fucheng that are specially used to recruit disciples. With his current strength and identity, he is already qualified to recommend children to join, and he doesn't need to go through the most common test channel.

To be able to do all of this is thanks to Datong for giving him a chance.

So when most monks chose to renege on their debts, he chose to be a fool in the eyes of others.

There are two main reasons for this.

He was born in a farmer, and he was most afraid of being in debt.

Because he has seen too many people owe their debts and owe their debts, and they owe a large family to other people's slaves, and they will never stand up again.

So after he owed Lingshi, even if no one reminded him, he always wanted to pay it back quickly.

The other is still afraid, afraid of retaliation for debt collection.

No matter how abject the Datong Association is, the people in charge are Jindan real people, and it is said that the president is a real person at the peak of Jindan.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he is already a great figure as a foundation-building cultivator, but in the eyes of such people, he is no different from ordinary people.

So even if the repayment of Lingshi is a little less every year, even if the Datong Association's interest calculation method is quite high, and a Foundation Establishment Pill has been multiplied several times, he never thought about not paying it back.

Now it's finally free.

Soon, Huang Xiaoliu entered the city with the caravan, and went to the trading company to collect the mission rewards for this trip. The other members of the escort team walked shoulder to shoulder and walked towards the Spring Breeze Tower happily.

And he went to the street to buy some gadgets and gifts before returning to the small yard rented by Huang's family.

It was already dark at the moment.

Sitting on the threshold was the little grandson of the second elder brother's family. He was four or five years old, playing with a small wooden sword and making a whistling sound.

The older brothers and sisters in the family all got married. Later, through his relationship, they all found a subsistence job, and moved out after earning income.

And he hasn't married yet, so he lives with his parents.

This child should have been brought here by the second brother and the others when they took turns to take care of him after he left for a mission because they were afraid that their parents' house would be too deserted.

"Grandpa Six!"

The little grandson remembers Huang Xiaoliu's appearance since he was a child.

Every time I come home, I am taught face to face by my parents, grandparents. No one in the family needs to know each other, but the youngest Sixth Grandpa must be known, and he must be respected more than his own parents. .

Huang Xiaoliu smiled and patted his little grandson's head, turned his palm over, took out a candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Why are you sitting at the door and playing? Have you eaten yet?"

The little grandson happily inhaled the sweetness of the candy, patted his stomach, and said with some pride:

"Yes, I ate a big chicken leg, which was given to me by my great-grandmother."

"Very good, eat a lot to grow up quickly."

Huang Xiaoliu pinched his little grandson's face with a smile, and led him by the hand into the door.

"Father, mother, I'm back."

Huang Xiaoliu's parents heard the news and came out to welcome him, along with his second elder brother and second sister-in-law who were nearly sixty years old, as well as their youngest son and youngest daughter-in-law.

"Little Six, just come back, just come back!"

Although the two elders have cultivation bases, they are not high in the end. In addition, they worked too much when they were young. Now that they are almost 90 years old, they walk a little tremblingly and need crutches to support them.

By the candlelight in the room, they grabbed Huang Xiaoliu's hand and looked it up and down, and they were relieved when they saw that he was completely intact, with no parts missing.

It is not easy to guard the caravan. Every time a mission is carried out, a few lives have to be lost.

The two elders were not less worried about their youngest son.

"Sixth brother (sixth uncle)."

After the second elder and his son finished chatting, the second elder brother and his family greeted each other softly, with a bit of caution and respect in their tone.

Huang Xiaoliuchao and the two nodded slightly.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, you have worked hard to take care of your parents."

Seeing that the second elder brother and second sister-in-law have gray hair, but he is still young and strong, even younger than their youngest son.

Huang Xiaoliu suddenly felt the ruthlessness of time.

One day, these relatives will all leave him.

"It should, it should, and it's not just us, other brothers and sisters often visit our parents."

The second brother's family gave warm smiles, as if hearing Huang Xiaoliu's acknowledgment was better than any reward.

Several other brothers and sisters who heard the news also came to the scene one after another.

Because of Huang Xiaoliu's return, the small courtyard was full of people, bursting with great energy for a while, laughter and laughter resounded through the middle of the night.

That night, Huang Xiaoliu slept soundly.

The last reason why he tried to pay back the money is these family members.

He didn't want to implicate this big family because of his selfishness back then.

……

the next day.

Huang Xiaoliu woke up early, took the reward for this mission, and arrived at the Datong Association headquarters early.

Just when he got to the door, Huang Xiaoliu noticed a huge difference from before.

When he came to return the Lingshi before, the door of the headquarters of the Datong Association was closed, and he had to knock on the door for a while before the director returned to open the door belatedly, and then welcomed him in, showed him the bill, and then made a payment , to calculate the next repayment balance.

Supervisor Gui is very meticulous in his work. Although he is the only one, the accounts are very clear, and he never keeps accounts indiscriminately.

He secretly wrote down the accounts, and asked others for advice in private to calculate, and every time it was accurate, he was completely relieved of Supervisor Gui.

But this time, he actually found that he had to wait in line!
When will I have to wait in line to pay back the money to the Datong Association? !
Huang Xiaoliu didn't understand, but was shocked.

He knew that the Datong Association must have undergone a major event during the time he was away, and the changes it has had today.

But he was used to silence.

Since there is a need to queue up, it is only a little later, anyway, it is the last debt owed.

He silently lined up at the back of the line, but the discussions in front of him still reached his ears like flies.

"What! 470 million Lingshi, when did I owe so much?! Obviously I paid back more than 100 million before, and only owe 100 million."

"Return to the supervisor, do you really think I'm easy to bully?!"

The suppressed momentum rose up, together with the huge number just now, Huang Xiaoliu was shocked.

Good guy, tens of thousands of spirit stones have been tossing him for more than ten years, and this guy actually owes more than 400 million. When will he be able to pay it off?
He looked up, and saw that the person in charge of collecting money was still the Gui supervisor.

Director Gui didn't look as sluggish as before, but was full of energy. Facing a fake alchemy monk who was about to erupt, he was still smiling.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, the Datong Association has always been honest and clear in its accounts. Since seven years ago, the 100 million spirit stones you owed have not been moved. Based on the accumulated interest of 470% that you signed before, you should pay back 370. Sixty-eight thousand, [-] pieces and a half of spirit stones.

But our president is magnanimous, and if you say a fraction, you don’t want it. You still owe 470 Lingshi. "

The crowd present: "..."

Made, what a fraction of half a Lingshi, you say Jill!
"How come there are so many? How come there are so many?"

The fake monk stared at the account that Guishou pointed out, and there were clearly calculated numbers on it. A storm appeared in his mind, and he calculated crazily.

In the end, he seemed to have suffered a greater blow than Lei Jie, and he felt a little delirious for a while.

"I!!!"

Seeing that the huge debt could not be repaid, the fake Dan monk started to do something irrational from his heart.

But seeing Guishou's smiling face, it was like pouring a basin of cold water on his head.

Director Gui in front of him is not scary, but Guild President Bai behind him is the scariest.

When a Nascent Soul True Monarch is willing to reason with you and obey the rules, you'd better reason honestly and obey the rules.

Otherwise, when True Monarch Yuanying doesn't follow the rules, no one can bear the consequences.

At least he couldn't bear it.

"...I'm sorry!"

The fake Dan monk's breath weakened, and he lowered his haughty head heavily.

When facing the third-tier demon king back then, he was still able to move forward with high spirits and slammed his spiritual skills on the demon king's head.

But in the face of such a huge debt, he can only bow his head and admit defeat.

"This is not a problem. Datong will have a special solution for customers like Daoyou who cannot repay the loan."

"The first one is still an installment payment. The amount is calculated according to the current arrears. It can be divided into one hundred installments, one installment per year, and the interest is still [-]%.

Daoist friends can choose to pay first before taking interest, or they can choose to take interest first and pay later.

The former has more repayments in the early stage, but the more repayments, the easier it is. The latter has less repayments in the early stage, but the pressure is heavier later. "

"The second is to sign a 100-year employment contract with our Datong Association. Within 100 years, we will be driven by the Datong Association. If you are still alive after 100 years, you and our Datong Association will be considered to have settled their debts."

"Seven years, just seven years..."

Fake Dan monk muttered unbelievably.

Guishou watched coldly, and even sneered in his heart.

If the debt is repaid honestly, according to the contract, a total of 250 million Lingshi will be repaid in ten years, which is the real [-]% interest.

Even if it is not cleared after ten years, the remaining spirit stones will be reaccumulated according to the new debt interest. This number will not be too scary, at most it will double.

In fact, doing so may not even recover the cost.

After all, on the road of practice, if you accidentally encounter disasters and die halfway, less than [-]% of the monks who can really pay off a debt cycle in full may be less than [-]%.

But these guys actually dared to stand on the sidelines at the most difficult time of the Datong Association, and even made up their minds to renege on their debts. Then they have to taste the pain of compound interest.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, there are two choices, please choose."

Guishou seemed to say unintentionally:
"Fellow Daoist Jin, don't think that it's all over once you die. Our president has explained that if the debtor dies on purpose because of defaulting on the debt, then the debt will be deferred to the sect's family."

The monk surnamed Jin fake Dan let out a miserable laugh.

"Back then, the Demon Eliminating Army was so dangerous, and I survived it. I don't believe that you Datong will be able to torture me to death in the past 100 years. I will choose the second one!"

Guishou stretched out his hand to the back hall, and said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Jin, since you have made the second choice, please go to the back and sign the contract with our president personally."

When the monk surnamed Jin heard that Yuanying Zhenjun was sitting in the rear, his last thought of resistance dissipated, and he staggered back.

Guishou looked away, knowing that this guy was about to suffer the same treatment as before, and was forced to hand over his soul, and life and death were controlled by his hands from now on.

As for the 100-year period, it is natural that someone can survive, but the chances are probably very small.

Huang Xiaoliu, who was standing at the back, just watched helplessly as a high-ranking fake Dan Daoist turned into a role like a servant.

He secretly swallowed his saliva, his heart beating wildly, extremely grateful.

Fortunately, he was timid and didn't dare to renege on his debt.

Otherwise, even the fake alchemy real person would not be able to renege on his debt, so what kind of onion would he be.

Next, almost all the fake pill monks chose the second option, and a few bit the bullet and chose to return the spirit stone.

But they will soon find out that heavy debt will bring them back to the right choice.

On the contrary, the foundation-building cultivators accumulated much less debts.

Most of them had the same worries as Huang Xiaoliu, thinking that no matter how poor Datong would be, it would not be easy to deal with a few Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Although these people are not as persistent as Huang Xiaoliu, they will pay back part of it every now and then, so the debt is not too much.

Slowly it was Huang Xiaoliu's turn.

Guishou recognized this honest guy at a glance, and the smile on his face was somewhat sincere.

"It's you."

Huang Xiaoliu showed a respectful smile, and put a storage bag in front of Guishou.

"Senior, this junior is named Huang Xiaoliu. This is the last spirit stone I owe."

"I know."

Gui Shou didn't even look at it, he casually put away the storage bag.

"Huang Xiaoliu, right?"

"Yes, senior."

"Where are you working now?"

"Chen Family Firm."

Huang Xiaoliu replied honestly.

"Are you interested in changing jobs? Our president heard that there is a fool who pays the loan regularly, and he is very interested in you."

Gui Shou laughed and said.

The hairs on Huang Xiaoliu's back immediately stood on end, and he felt that everyone behind him held their breath, and the air instantly became quiet, with pairs of fiery eyes staring at the back of his head.

"The firm treats juniors very well..."

Huang Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment, and politely declined:
"Please allow this junior to think about it."

"It's okay, come here after you think it over, Datong will need someone like you, the door is open to you at any time."

Gui Shou seemed to be easy to talk to.

"Thank you senior."

Huang Xiaoliu quit in a daze.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Datong Association, a group of people surrounded him.

"Where is Fellow Daoist Xianxiang? I just heard that Fellow Daoist's accent is somewhat familiar. We may be fellow villagers."

"It doesn't matter if you have ever been married. I have a younger sister who is twenty-eight years old. She is very beautiful. I want to get to know you."

"Little brother, I am Chen Baili, and I am the housekeeper of the owner of the Chen Family Commercial Bank. Why don't you talk about it in detail."

"Fuck, Fellow Daoist Huang! I am also surnamed Huang, and I hit it off with you immediately, and I wish to become brothers with the same surname as you!"

……

The voice was chaotic, making Huang Xiaoliu feel as if he had become the focus of the world.

He looked up in confusion, feeling that the world was crazy.
