Lingwu: I am the only immortal

Chapter 177 Blocking the way
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Time has entered October (lunar calendar), and winter has officially entered.

This year's winter has shown signs of severe cold. It snowed on the second day of winter. Although it melted within a day, people with life experience know that melting snow makes it even colder.

But this cannot stop Zhao Guanren's enthusiasm for shopping.

Wearing a three-mountain hat, a flying fish suit, an embroidered spring knife on the waist, and soap boots on the feet... In this outfit, many of the royal guards around the emperor wore it as a formal dress. They usually wore casual clothes and straw sandals when going out for business. Some simply don't have this outfit.

And Zhao Guanren, on this basis, should wear foxes and minks in this season...

Two words: Bash!

Add two words: show off.

It's like a runway show, and everyone in Yu County knows it!
Even wealthy people couldn't help but be jealous and say sarcastic words: "What's so great! Isn't it just an uncle who has an eunuch! If a eunuch takes power, he will be stabbed sooner or later!"

Well, this curse does have a high probability of coming true, and when it comes to the forefront, it is indeed so powerful that it makes all officials pinch their tails.

Although in this era, it is inevitable for imperial decrees to be discounted at the local level, but it also depends on the situation and the place.

This Yu county is neither the chieftain of the Southern Man, nor the bitter cold frontier, but a county in the inland of the Central Plains. The local people and influence here are intricate, and there are no powerful families.

Zhou Yi also confirmed Zhao Er's relevant memories through his own actions. This is where he will live for a period of time in the future. He has gradually developed a lion heart, and he naturally patrols his territory to know everything well.

In addition, this is also to avoid Liu Yuan and his group.

After secret observation, he discovered that Liu Yuan's control over Zhao Mansion turned out to be more serious than he expected.It can be said that the current Zhao Mansion is just Liu Yuan and his gang coaxing Zhao Er to play.

Liu Yuan borrowed his wealth, tiger skins, big sticks and sweet dates to establish his prestige. To put it bluntly, Liu Yuan gave an order, and the gang of evil slaves might not dare to beat him to death with sticks.

This stupid and cruel guy doesn't want to have any consequences, and at worst he runs away for his life.

Of course, it is still because he is not strong enough now.

The main reason is that his current social status is still too low.

With the power of the eunuch uncle, this problem is not big in the fish and meat village, but if you want to seek enlightenment, sorry, you have no connections or channels, and you can't find the temple even with a pig's head.

Man said that it was him, it was Zhao Ji, it was not easy to see something serious, let alone Xianzhen.

Of course, even so, Zhou Yi's physique is still improving rapidly.

Money is magical.

He sold a lot of medicinal materials on the grounds that he needed nourishment after recovering from poisoning. The so-called secret recipe of herbal medicine was actually to absorb the essence of these carefully selected medicinal materials, plus the 'Zhou Tianfa + Banlan Wu', and there was a method The spirit is commanding and controlling from a high position. In the early stage of practice, the effect will naturally not be bad.

It's just that Zhao Er lacked food and drink when he was young, which not only delayed the growth of his body, but also affected his natural lifespan, and this negative impact was reflected from the outside.

According to the storytelling book: There is no flesh on the cheeks, the roots of the hair are rusty, the cheeks of the sharp-mouthed monkey, the appearance is wretched, and there are a little hunchback and bow-legged.

Such a majestic monkey, wearing brocade and mink, is also a living example of wearing a monkey and wearing a crown. No wonder people despise him.

This poisoning also had some unknown effects. The skin became gray and the hair turned gray from the roots.

When Zhou Yi stood in front of the mirror, he felt like he was reincarnated into a human being.

Of course, these don't matter. Body 2.0 has a chance to adjust the body, and with the help of talisman reshaping, it can at least adjust to the best effect of this skin.

The key is supernatural power.

He didn't count much on his spiritual power anymore. Through the practice of facing the sun and swallowing purple in the morning, he could accurately judge the amount of extraordinary beings floating in the environment, which was so thin that it could be ignored.

Under this background, even if you go to the so-called spiritual mountains and beautiful waters far away from the world of mortals, you may not get satisfactory results.

It is only possible to obtain extraordinary power normally in the isolated secret place of the organ Fuchuan Sanxian Island.

Rather than normal, apart from collecting heavenly materials and earthly treasures, there is only one way left.

Preferably something of the "Journey to the Center of the Earth" level to possibly get what he wants.

But the probability that he would encounter such a legendary deep passage was too low.

Then what's left is to combine reality and start with the 'Great Yin Land'.

This is also my experience with the Fuchuan dungeon.

Natural shady places like mangroves may be hard to find, but man-made mass graves and ancient battlefields are relatively easy, right?

Therefore, Zhouyi is currently collecting information in this area, including going to Quxiangyuan to listen to music and books.There may not be any useful information in the market rumors.

"Official Zhao is here, come on, take a seat!"

If you spend enough money, you will be able to enjoy the experience of being at home. The shopkeeper of Quxiangyuan looked at the money and treated Zhou Yi as his biological father.

The same goes for the storyteller, who has already figured out what Zhou Yi likes to hear recently, so he privately searched for relevant information and prepared with all his heart.

Zhou Yi sighed in his heart: "It is more honest to say that the ancients are more honest. Even if there is suspicion of falsification, there are at least some reasons..."

Watch and enjoy!Five taels of official silver with good quality is about equal to the purchasing power of the 5000 yuan Daxia coins of the green star where the deity is located.

With the productivity of this era, most wealthy people are not willing to spend such money.

However, some people were not happy. Even the person sitting next to Zhou Yi mocked the storyteller as a low-level person, and dared to use such low-grade unofficial anecdotes to defraud money.

The storyteller's kindness makes money, so naturally he pretended not to hear it.

Zhou Yi stood up and walked over. The three people in the cubicle next to him were blocked by him, and they suddenly looked uncomfortable.

One of them was a local, and Zhou Yi quickly found out his identity from his memory. He was the second son of the Xu family, a wealthy family in Yu County.

The Xu family has maintained the position of civil servants for at least three generations, two of which donated their sons to officials.

After three years of clearing the magistrate's office, he received a hundred thousand snowflakes and silver, talked and laughed with famous scholars, and had no white men in his dealings. The pattern of a scholarly family and a respectable family was maintained.

In the past, Zhao Er and others like him were not in the same circle at all and had no intersection.

It wasn't until he became prosperous in the first half of this year and held a banquet to celebrate that the Xu Mansion sent a congratulatory gift, which was regarded as an acknowledgment that Yu County had a person like him in the government.

At this time, looking at the seat of the second eldest son of the Xu family, it was obvious that he was keeping company.

The other two were all dressed up.

There is a big difference between the so-called fashionable costumes of this era and the fashionable costumes of ancient Hong Kong dramas.Mainly reflected in the sleeves and skirt.

In the eyes of modern people like Zhou Yi, this long skirt with wide sleeves cannot get rid of its bloated and unpleasant qualities no matter how you look at it.

But it is indeed different from ordinary straight jackets, linen jackets, dark jackets, and crew-neck shirts.

One difference is the tightness, the other is the style.

In terms of style, it looks a bit like a robe. The so-called robe is actually a half-sleeved shirt. However, in this era, any dressy garment must be accompanied by a skirt and robe, so it is more accurate to call this half-sleeved shirt a half-sleeved robe.

In fact, there is a more accurate description, that is, hood.

The hood is a common attire for servants and police officers. The lower body is above the knees, and the upper body is like a waistcoat. In modern terms, it is a half-coat without sleeves.

But ancient people naturally had to make some detailed changes in these aspects to suit different identities.

For example, the kind worn by the three brothers in {Embroidered Spring Knife}.

The upper body is actually a cowl, but the waist and below are not. In order to show the neatness, the creative clothing design has the general's robe belly (waist protector, waist protector) matched with it, while the lower body has chosen to disappear.

All in all, the most fashionable dress of this era is in the treatment of sleeves. The original middle sleeves are closed at the position of the forearm close to the wrist, creating an effect similar to buttoning the cuffs of a large shirt.

On the body, he wore cloth armor on top of the walking clothes or dark clothes.

Leather armor was taboo, and the smell of fighting was too strong, so cloth was chosen.

Moreover, there are many details to be paid attention to when using cloth, such as brocade, silk, woven embroidery... different patterns can not only cover up the strong smell of the armor, but also highlight the personality.

The clothes of these two people have done a lot of work in this aspect, they are like flying clouds and animals, with gold and silver threads, showing luxury.

An ordinary person in this era would probably be able to buy one sleeve of this robe if he worked for a year.

Respectable people, indeed, have something to rely on if they speak rudely.

However, Second Young Master Xu had no intention of introducing him.Instead, he stood up, saluted Zhou Yi, and said, "Wenzhi is very polite here. I don't know if Zhao officials are here, what can I teach you?"

"I don't want to take it seriously. I'm here to ask for advice. I just heard that the story told by the local storyteller here was far-fetched and not worthy of the stage. So I wanted to listen to the high-level talk and gain insights."

The cross-dressing woman in the duo rolled her eyes and said, "You want to hear it, but I don't want to tell it."

Zhou Yi knew from the voice that this was the person who had commented before.

When you go out, be careful with your words and deeds to avoid misfortune coming from your mouth and causing trouble.

Obviously, this girl has never been beaten in this way.

Zhou Yi took out a 1000 tael of silver notes from his sleeve, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "I bet that this heroine has no secrets. I don't know if I dare to make a bet. I am convinced that I lost."

The real host, who was accompanying Xu Wenzhi, stood up, bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely. I won't gamble."

Zhou Yi chuckled: "As the saying goes, there is no such thing as over and over again. There is a folk saying that face is given by others, and face is lost by oneself.

I've given you enough face today. If you don't know what's good and what's good, don't blame me, a local coward, for making it difficult for a dragon like you. "

Xu Wenzhi rushed to speak: "Guan Zhao, this is a hero of the Taoist lineage. Even the Tian family treats him with great courtesy..."

Zhou Yi responded: "That's why I don't know what is good and what is bad, and have developed such an arrogant and domineering attitude of looking at people with their noses.

Practice mystery and alchemy, practice longevity.Behind this lofty and fascinating building, are there so many demands on the world and the world?
Can a person from the Taoist line really live without eating the fireworks of the world?Or can I go without clothes or equipment?

You obviously want to seek the secular world, so why do you act like an outsider and look down on all living beings?
Instead, tell me, what benefit does the success or failure of a person of this lineage have to the common people? "

The Dao Pulse male cultivator snorted: "We can slay demons, protect the Dao, and kill evil spirits. How can it be understood and imagined by people like you?"

Zhou Yi bared his teeth and smiled: "I know you have to mention this. However, times have changed and the world has changed. As the saying goes, a good man does not mention his bravery in the past. What you said in today's era is not much different from saying that your ancestors were rich. .

The descendants of the Tian family have reproduced for several generations, and they have also become noble and common people.You young people who have been overshadowed by this, shouldn’t you also have some restraint?Do you have to learn from Buddhism and other temples and monks’ property to spread all over the country, causing public resentment and depleting the national power, and then having the mountains and temples destroyed? "

'boom! The heroine slapped the table and stood up, shouting: "You are a gangster and a thief, you are shameless and rebellious. I must teach you a lesson today."

Zhou Yi pulled up a chair and sat down.

"I advise you to be kind. This is a county under the rule of the Dayong Dynasty, a place with royal law. It is not a wilderness and a land outside the law. You and other foreigners come to the land of the dynasty, but you yell at the court officials. Kill, are you using Dayong Dynasty as a toilet?"

"Guan Zhao's sharp words are as sharp as those of a lawyer. I admire him! Farewell!" Xu Wenzhi gestured and invited the two monks to leave. Although the girl was not happy, she was dragged away by the male monk in the end.

Zhou Yi did not hold back, but after putting away the banknotes on the table, he looked at the three people's retreating figures and smiled playfully.

That Xu Wenzhi and Nanxiu let him mess around, hurting their ancestors and labeling them in various ways, but they didn't force anything dry.It's just that the girl's sentence "the gangster dog thief" somewhat exposed something.

"Is this coming at me? It shouldn't be so. People like Zhao Er are enough to be used as weapons against Zhao Ji.

What is that for?It was probably Zhao Er who blocked other people's way unknowingly.

The problem is, there is no land and no property, just grabbing some protection fees and so on. How can this block the way?Could it be because of channels? "

If necessary, information can be delivered to Gyeonggi in time.

Although it is a private channel, in this feudal era of family affairs, private channels can also be public channels.

Zhao Er unintentionally became the spy who the Royal Horse Superintendent and the eunuchs were willing to rely on. This was the point where Zhao Er stood in the way.

"Something is going to happen in Yu County! That's right, there is no big movement, I'm sorry for being a time traveler. The dungeon should look like a dungeon."...

At the same time, Xu Wenzhi and the other three were walking and chatting.

The male cultivator said: "This Zhao Er is even more annoying than the rumors say."

The girl interjected and added: "Yes, he has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and he is very irritating."

Xu Wenzhi laughed: "Those who grow up in the market are most indispensable for fallacies."

The male cultivator said: "I'm afraid that he will stab Zhao Ji at that time, some will say, some won't."

"Give him something to do. The two of you have also seen this person's temperament today. He is not willing to take any losses. This is related to his early life's fate of judging people's faces. If you want to get rid of this kind of people, you still have to be careful. There is a way."

"Don't take it lightly, even if it's a small benefit, deal with it as soon as possible."

"Okay, we'll get it done in just a few days."...

One day later, as soon as Zhou Yi finished breakfast, Liu Yuan came to report that Xu Wenzhi came to visit and he had been invited into the front hall.

After Zhao Er got rich, he was eager to make friends with the local dignitaries, as if in this way, he would soon become one of them.

But the local dignitaries looked down upon him at all.

First, he became rich from a poor man, not because of his own level, but because of shit luck.

Secondly, he was dissolute and did some things that were too explicit, and he was ashamed to be in his company.

Finally, and most importantly, the eunuch's smell is too strong, and he is bound to be a short-lived ghost.

The local dignitaries, either take the Confucianism, Taoism and officialdom, or raise their hopes and take the land and shop as a tycoon, no matter which one can be passed down from generation to generation, naturally they don't want to be with this rootless duckweed.

It was too late to even hide, for fear that the Dongchuang incident would happen the next day and he would be implicated.

Therefore, Zhao Er was basically bumping into soft nails. He seemed to be yelling and shouting, and everyone who saw him had to call him "Zhao Guanren".

And the more this happens, the more Zhao Er is eager to join the circle.

He ordered his servants: Whenever a squire, an old man, or the head of a large household comes to visit, and I am there, please invite me in first, serve me some tea, and then hurry up to attend.

Zhou Yi did not follow this family rule for the time being, so he tidied up properly and welcomed guests with a smile.

After greetings, it was natural to ask about the purpose of the visit.

Xu Wenzhi said that two monks from Daochai came to apologize.

"People from the mountains are used to being wild. When he came out to see the world, his teacher happened to have some old friendship with my family. When he passed by this place, my family naturally had no reason to let him stay for a night.

My family ordered me to entertain them, and our Quxiang Garden was considered a first-class place, so I took them with me.I didn’t expect that my unruly words and deeds would offend the officials..."

What Xu Wenzhi said was quite nice, and his posture was low.

Zhou Yi was also humble as usual, and then he got to the point, Yunwu Villa, Xu Wenzhi said that he was willing to use it as an apology, and asked Zhou Yi to accept it.

When the time comes to show off your acting skills, your words don’t match your heart, your heart is ecstatic, and your surface is humble.

In order to perform well, Zhou Yi used self-hypnosis.

To put it bluntly, it is a non-innate version of the nine-character maxim.

The innate version can be simply classified as a series of spells, one word for each spell, and finally a halo of spells.

The non-innate version is self-suggestion and self-hypnosis, thereby using the power of 'true faith' to tap the potential of the human body's treasure house and achieve some small goals that are inconceivable in the eyes of ordinary people, such as stopping bleeding, rapid healing, etc.

But now, Zhou Yi used it to act together, as if there was something evil in Yunwu Villa, and the joy from the heart was immediately shown through his eyes and micro-expressions.

Xu Wenzhi was also happy and said in his heart: "As long as you like it, the matter is half done."

The other half naturally lured Zhou Yi to stay at Yunwu Villa for some time.

In this regard, Xu Wenzhi is also confident.

He investigated Zhao Er's past and knew that he was bitten by a wild boar when he was a child, which left him with a psychological shadow. He even wished to become a butcher because of this.

However, the craftsmanship of this era is passed down from father to son, and being a butcher is by no means just a job that can be done with just one head. As the saying goes, 'Without Butcher Zhang, would we still be able to eat pigs with hair on them?' 'It also shows that butcher is a skilled trade.

Another important point is that productivity was low in ancient times, and the general public generally had little protein intake.To put it bluntly, when it comes to ingredients like 'meat', there must be a lot of capital behind it, and it is not something ordinary people can afford.

Therefore, Zhao Er's butcher dream is just a dream.

Now, isn't this the opportunity?
Yunwushan’s black pork is still very famous.Following the hunter into the mountains, leading the hunter to capture the green, summoning the slaves and summoning the crowd, and having a satisfying hunt, will it completely dispel the shadow of childhood?

Besides, which man hasn't dreamed of hunting with a bow and saber?
Xu Wenzhi spread his tongue and deceived everyone.

In fact, for Zhou Yi, Xu Wenzhi gave him a villa, which was like giving him a pillow when he was sleeping, which was exactly what he wanted.If it weren't for the need to take into account the character, I would have accepted it all at once.

In the end, naturally, he pretended to be persuaded and accepted the gift with joy - the exquisite wooden box contained the title deed of Yunwu Villa. He only needed to take it to the county government to transfer the ownership, and the Villa would completely belong to Zhou Yi, and even Including the mountainous area with a radius of fifteen miles outside the village.

Xu Wenzhi also enthusiastically provided handover services, saying that one of his stewards could accompany the team.This housekeeper has always been in charge of the Xu family's village, and is very familiar with the village head of Yunwu Villa. He happened to be at the house for the past two or three days, and then he will go out to check the estate.

So Zhou Yi decided on the spot that he would prepare for the whole day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, he would go to Yunwu Mountain and ask the steward of the Xu family to come look for him early in the morning.

Xu Wenzhi left satisfied.

Enthusiastic arrangements and guidance naturally have the purpose of supervision.

As for the investment in a Zhuangzi, in the words of an old man of the Xu family: "Although the Xu family has many properties, none of them is redundant."

However, this time, assisting Dao Mei to do a big thing and succeeding, the benefits are far beyond what a Zhuangzi can compare with.

If it doesn't work, then Zhao Er's line may be useful...

　The condition is recurring. A cold causes pharyngitis. A simple itchy throat and cough can make people unable to sleep. They cough when lying down. The cough makes the brain hurt. Personally, it is probably not COVID-[-], because similar lesions have been seen before. appeared.I feel dizzy, and there is no medicine in the pharmacy. I am afraid of getting infected when I go to the hospital, so I rely on the pharyngitis tablets I saved before, which makes me sad.
