Chapter 98 High Risk, High Return? (seeking subscription)

"Is it Yunzhou?"

In the early morning of the next day, when the old man heard Xu Yan's choice, he said calmly: "This place is really good. Although it is a low-grade Daozhou, it is also a relatively high-ranked Daozhou among the low-grade Daozhous."

"The land of Yunzhou is not only located in the prosperous south of the Yangtze River, but also within the territory of Daozhou, there is a natural treasure land comparable to the blessed land of cave heaven, Yunmeng Daze, and there are many treasures of heaven and earth in the lake."

"If you can take up the position of Thousand Households of the Demon Suppressing Division of Yunzhou, it will be a good thing for you as well as for the Hou family."

"It's just that it's not easy for you to become Qianhu, the town magician of Yunzhou."

"The real difficulty is not to complete the mission of revenge and kill that demon cultivator, but to deal with the affairs of the martial arts gang and the immortal sect in Yunzhou."

"Even, as far as I know, the reason why the position of Thousand Households of the Demon Suppressor in Yunzhou is vacant, and no one can complete the task of revenge is also the reason for the forces of various sects in Yunzhou. They all want to push their own people to the position."

"Our Hou Mansion wants to intervene in Yunzhou's affairs, especially if we want to get the position of Yunzhou Town Magic Division, I am afraid it will be very difficult."

Yunzhou is a good place, there is a treasure land, Yunmeng Daze.

But it is precisely because this place is so good that everyone competes for it.

In the same way, the position of Thousand Households in Yunzhou's Town Demon Division is vacant, not because no one can solve the magic cultivator.

Instead, the various sect forces in Yunzhou are pulling each other's legs back, trying to push their own people to the top.

Even if an outsider wants to intervene in Yunzhou's affairs, it will attract all the sects and immortal forces in Yunzhou to jointly target them. Apart from internal fighting, they will also maintain a consistent external attitude.

Therefore, if Xu Yan wants to take up the position of Thousand Households of the Town Magic Division in the Land of Yunzhou, it may be very difficult.

Undoubtedly, just after the trial documents were issued at the headquarters of the Zhenmagic Division, Yunzhou had already negotiated a result, and sent the head of the demon cultivator to the Thousand Households of the Zhenmagic Division on the same day, and later repaired the Yunzhou Town Magic Division Thousand Households completed.

When Xu Yan heard the old man's gentle reminder, he sighed in his heart, and didn't continue to insist, but asked, "Where's Jingzhou?"

Eleven town magic divisions are in the gap of thousands of households.

What he is really sure of is the two continents of Yunjing.

Now after Yunzhou was eliminated, what was left was Jingzhou.

The old man pondered for a while, and said: "Jingzhou's words, it's not impossible."

"It's just that compared to Yunzhou and other places, Jingzhou is a bit ordinary. In the ranking of 72 Daozhou, it is located in the lower reaches, and it is only better than the few Daozhou on the border."

"There is neither a blessed place nor a spiritual mine in Daozhou. There are even few unique products. The population is sparse, there are not many spiritual fields, the resources for cultivation are lacking, the people live in poverty, and the value is not very high."

"So, I don't recommend you to choose the land of Jingzhou, it will be very detrimental to your future development."

If we talk about the land of Yunzhou, it is because it is too good and too rich, which will attract the competition of the local sect forces, and eventually lead to the vacancy of the position of Qianhu of Zhenma Division.

Then the land of Jingzhou is because it is too poor.

In Daozhou, there are no caves and blessed places, no famous mountains and rivers, and even spiritual mines and spiritual fields, there are pitifully few resources for cultivation.

The poor don't even want to stay with the demons with a little bit of ambition.

Naturally, no high-level monk would be willing to go to Jingzhou to serve as the town magician Qianhu.

This is the same as the county magistrate.

The county magistrate of Fuyu County is naturally everyone scrambling for it.

The impoverished counties in the valleys have not been able to get two taels of oil for ten years, so no one is willing to go there.

Therefore, Jingzhou's post of Thousand Households in the Town of Magic Division was vacant. Even if the difficulty of the trial task was relatively low, no one was willing to go.

It is easy to go, but it is difficult to come out again.

"What did grandfather mean?"

Xu Yan is not stupid, the old man said so, he must have his own ideas, and helped him choose a suitable Daozhou.

Of course, this is appropriate, from the perspective of the old man or Dingyuanhoufu.

For Xu Yan himself, whether it is really suitable or not is not certain.

When the old man heard Xu Yan's question, he didn't answer directly. He just smiled and took out a document from the pile of papers and handed it to Xu Yan.

"Ning Zhou?"

The corner of Xu Yan's mouth twitched when he saw the documents handed over by the old man.

Good guy.

Really good guy.

Doesn't the old man in front of him want him to die?

Ningzhou, middle-rank Daozhou, does not need trials and can be transferred directly.

In Daozhou, there is a powerful demon who is cunning, good at hiding, and extremely hostile to Zhenmasi Qianhu. In the past 20 years, six Zhenmasi Qianhu have died in his hands, which can be called Zhenmasi Qianhu. household killer.

The most frightening thing is that even the headquarters of the Zhenmagic Department did not find out what kind of demon did it.

The demon seemed to have some means to kill the strong warriors with a curse from the air, and it could transfer the soul-chasing curse of the town magician to the ordinary people when the town magician's personnel died.

Without the Soul Chasing Curse, naturally it would be impossible to track down the monsters, hunt them down and kill them.

Therefore, the Zhenma Division has very little information about the monster in Ningzhou, and even the type and strength of the monster have not really been figured out.

This made the Ningzhou Town Magic Division a place where people were talking about it, and no one dared to take up the post.

"Is grandpa joking?"

"Ningzhou Zhenmai Qianhu Office, but six Zhenmai Qianhu have died one after another, including two martial saints and a celestial master, and the remaining three martial arts masters are also in the town of magic. In the battle between the headquarters and the demon, he was directly cursed to death."

"Grandfather asked me to apply for transfer to the post of Qianhu in the Ningzhou Zhenmagic Division. Could it be that he wanted me to be a tool for the Zhenmagic Division's headquarters to fight against that demon?"

"Don't go, don't go, whoever wants to go to this place, anyway, I can't go."

Xu Yan is not stupid, he can't do such a thing of death.

Don't talk about high risk, high return.

He doesn't need high income, he can be invincible in the world after decades of work, he can't do what he wants, is he worth taking his own life to take risks?
"Don't worry, since grandfather let you choose Ningzhou, he must be sure."

"This time, in order to solve Ningzhou's affairs, the Zhenmagic Division is going to ask the immortals to take action. No matter how strong the monsters in Ningzhou are, they cannot be opponents of the immortals."

"And Zhenmagic has promised that as long as we assist Zhenmagic to kill the evil monster, the position of Qianhu in Ningzhou Zhenmagic will not change in the next 20 years, even if you resign and transfer from Ningzhou, It will still be held by people from the Hou Mansion."

The old man said comfortingly, telling the reason why he hoped that Xu Yan would choose the position of Thousand Households in the Magic Division of Ningzhou Town.

to be honest.

It's because Zhenmensi gave too much, which made the old man's heart flutter.

In addition, according to Zhenmasi, this time the immortal will be invited to completely eliminate the monsters in Ningzhou, and Xu Yan is just acting as a bait. Although there is a danger, it is not high.

The benefits outweigh the risks.

Naturally worth the gamble.

Unfortunately, Xu Yan was unmoved, and said calmly: "I'm afraid I will disappoint my grandfather. My grandson is a person who is afraid of death. No matter how well the people from the Zhenmeng Division arrange it, my grandson doesn't want to leave his life and death in the hands of others." .”

"If grandfather doesn't want to give up this opportunity, then choose another person to be transferred to the post of Thousand Households of Magic Division of Ningzhou Town, as if grandson never made this request."

Are you kidding me?
The group of people from the headquarters of the Zhenmagic Division fought with the demon in Ningzhou for more than ten or twenty years, and killed six thousand households of the Zhenmagic Division in succession. In the end, they didn't even figure out the demon's heel.

Now it's just a sentence of "Please let the immortal do it", and I want to use him as a bait and a fighting tool to continue fighting with that mysterious monster in Ningzhou.

What an international joke.

Whoever believes in the words of the official is a fool.

Don't talk to him about feelings, dedication, dedication, etc.

He is just a selfish layman. He has only been in this world for half a year, and he is completely unfamiliar with his family in this world. How can he have so much affection and dedication.

So almost without thinking about it, Xu Yan rejected the old man's proposal.

He would rather not have this opportunity to be transferred to the Thousand Households of Zhenma Division, and it is impossible to hand over his wealth and life to others.

Xu Yan refused.

The old man's face darkened in an instant, obviously he did not expect Xu Yan to answer like this.

As a person who can sacrifice himself for the family, he is obviously very displeased with Xu Yan's greed for life and fear of death, and selfishness.

Even at this moment, he doubted whether his previous choice was right or wrong.

Can this selfish grandson who is greedy for life and afraid of death in front of him really become a helper for the family and lead the family to prosperity?

Unfortunately, he has no other choice.

In the short time remaining, he was not allowed to make other choices.

If you really want to go your own way, the biggest possibility is to beat the chicken and eggs, and nothing will be left.

Regardless of whether Xu Yan can secure the seat of Thousand Households in Zhenma Division in Ningzhou afterwards, he and Dingyuan Hou's Mansion will be separated from each other, and even turn against each other.

This is obviously what the old man doesn't want to see.

"That's it!"

"Since you don't want to, then let it go."

After a long time, the old man sighed and said helplessly, "Since Zhenmeng is just a suggestion, it doesn't mean that you must go to Ningzhou. Since you don't want to, then just decline."

"It's a pity that this opportunity is missed. Ningzhou is a middle-grade Daozhou. The resources of Daozhou are several times richer than that of Yunzhou, and they are more than a hundred times richer than Jingzhou."

"If you miss this opportunity, you will have to pay a huge price if you want to take up the position of Qianhu, the Zhenma Division in Zhongpin Daozhou. Even if you spend the entire Hou Mansion, you may not be able to afford it."

"So, I hope you can think about it carefully. Don't shrink back because of the momentary danger. This is very detrimental to the condensed practice of martial arts will."

The old man babbled, saying that he was giving up, but in fact he was unwilling to give up at all. He secretly hoped that Xu Yan could work hard, give it a go, and turn his bicycle into a motorcycle.

Xu Yan was speechless, and said lightly: "I'm afraid I will disappoint my grandfather. My grandson is a person with no ambitions, and he never thought of becoming a thousand households of the magic town of Zhongpin Daozhou in one step."

"That's why I chose the post of Thousand Households of Magic Division of Jingzhou Town!"
