I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 621: Benefits and Bounty
"The progress of the Water Official Talisman for Relieving Disasters is currently 75%."

It was just a simple reminder, but it disappeared after it flashed.

Wen Yan was not surprised. Since entering here, the prompt appeared twice. One was about an item, and the item already belonged to him.

One was about the progress of his own Taoist scriptures.

Even so, it disappeared immediately after it appeared.

As for anything else outside of the body or anyone else, there were no hints.

Wen Yan has experience in this regard. It must be here that any hint given to anything other than himself or the items belonging to him will be noticed.

It might cause unnecessary trouble, and based on past experience, it might even attract hatred.

The Wang Hong in front of him looked like just a figurine, and it was unknown how powerful he was. Wen Yan could only roughly feel that the other party should not be a fragile civil servant.

In the previous stepped conference hall, there were still many terracotta warriors kneeling on their seats, with their eyes closed and motionless, and they had not yet awakened. He could also feel the deterrent power of some of the terracotta warriors who had not yet awakened.

Wen Yan was already very satisfied with the title, position, and authority he had obtained.

The business was almost over, and Wang Hong was no longer so tense. Wen Yan then started to ask other questions.

"Are all those on that bookshelf wanted?"

"Captain Wen is truly brave and brave. He even wants to continue." Wang Hong laughed and praised him a few times before speaking.

"There are not only files and documents here, but also yellow books of taxes and labor service, maps and hydrology, summary of strategies, etc. The bounty order is just one of them.

Over the past two thousand years, many of the bounties that were once offered have become impossible to complete, and the targets have turned to dust.

Even if some things can leave traces, they are just shadows in a dream.

Speaking of rewards, there may be some that may span thousands of years.

But times have changed, and unless it is an evil being like the one just now, many bounties have been sealed."

When it came to this, Wang Hong did not go into detail, but Wen Yan was able to figure it out a little.

Immortals like Yan are classified as anti-human demons, so naturally the bounty will remain in effect and will not be sealed.

But there should be some, such as the rebels in the former Chu and Zhao lands, like the Earth Gods, who may be revived now. The original rewards have been sealed.

According to what Wang Hong said, although some regulations are strict, they are not completely inflexible. Wang Hong is obviously very familiar with the current situation in China, and many things have adapted to the current trend.

Wen Yan could only flatter him with a few words.

He actually wanted to test whether there was any reward related to the relief on his stone gate or someone in his family.

His sixth Skeleton Dog Stone Gate closed by itself and stopped converting soul power.

The reliefs became dim and lost their spirituality, just like ordinary reliefs.

In addition to the skeleton dog, there is also a Bourne who offers his loyalty on the relief.

It is definitely impossible for Bourne, a skeleton wizard, to be just an undead in the sea of ​​undead.

The skeleton dog shouldn't be targeted either. In fact, the skeleton dog was less than a year old when it was born. How could there be a bounty targeting it?

No matter how much we calculate, at most it could only be because species were affected.

The five stone gates in front are all in good condition. The sparrow cat, the little zombie, the little flame, the gray cloth, and the ghost horse can naturally be eliminated.

Considering that there are zombies and ghost horses ahead, the probability of the skeleton dog being affected by a bounty is not high.

Wen Yan didn't quite understand why.

If he doesn't figure it out, he's worried that this is a trap and there will definitely be hidden dangers in the future.

After counting the first five stone gates, Wen Yan felt that after the sixth skeleton dog stone gate was closed, the ones behind it were blocked.

If it has nothing to do with the skeleton dog, could it be the latter?
The Taoist priest of the seventh stone gate and the steward of the eighth stone gate, it is definitely impossible to be a steward, and Wen Yan’s profession as a cultivator is definitely not one either. This profession is now an open profession and it did not exist before.

It could only be Dao Ge, and Dao Ge is just a big rooster.

As he was thinking about it, Wen Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. For the bounty to still be effective, there must be a chance that it will appear now.

Wen Yan suddenly remembered something, something he would have almost forgotten if he hadn't checked it carefully this time.

At the beginning, Dao Ge's stone gate allowed him to choose one of four Taoist talismans. He chose the Xihe talisman, but the remaining three talismans were behind the seventh stone gate, leaving marks before disappearing.

Among them was one named Taiyi.

Taiyi's fame in Chu still remains today.

After Emperor Qin conquered the six kingdoms, the one that retained the most culture, beliefs, heritage, etc. was Chu, and many things can still be labeled as Chu.

When he set foot on the island country before, he was directly exiled into the old dream. The place where he fell and what happened were also closely related to Gu Chu.

He was reminded at the beginning. Fortunately, he ran fast. Otherwise, when the patrol team arrived behind him, it would be impossible to hide the fact that he was a remnant of the old Chu.

Wen Yan was secretly shocked.

Isn't it because of this?

So the beam of light that shot out from the beast's eyes just now stayed on him for a long time. Maybe it wasn't because of the pendant on the bracelet that was discovered first?
Thinking about it carefully, the Taiyi Talisman that he felt at that time was actually very compatible with him. It was explosive, fierce, and domineering.

Moreover, the spirit conveyed in it is much more extreme than his. It is either fighting or on the way to a fight.

If Shen Yun is correct, there is a good chance that the relevant items have fallen into the bounty and have not been sealed yet.

Wen Yan calmed down and stopped thinking about it.

No matter what, he now holds the official title of Duke and official, and holds the post of Commandant. Although he cannot obtain a fief, he has a blessed land in his hands and has the autonomy to recruit soldiers.

Who dares to say that he is a remnant of the old Chu State!
Even if there is a connection, it is useless. There were people from Chu who ran to Qin to serve, and some of them ended up in high positions.

Thinking of this, Wen Yan suddenly stood up. To be honest, it was Captain Wen of the Great Qin who took away some of the power of the ancient Chu.

You have to give him more money!
Wang Hong was very enthusiastic towards Wen Yan and sent her out while talking to her all the way.

When passing by a gate, Wang Hong asked Wen Yan.

"Is the weapon that Captain Wen carries with him the one he normally uses?"

"Yes."

Wang Hong looked at Wang Jiyong who was standing beside him.

"Is the military workshop here still usable?"

"Some of it can be used. Direct forging is not feasible, but it is still possible to add a little divine power to increase the strength."

"Captain Wen said before that he accidentally fell into my Qin Ancient Dream and almost clashed with the soldiers there. We strengthened his weapon and left a rubbing of the brand on it so that it can be easily identified."

Wang Hong found an excuse and reasonably sought some benefits for Wen Yan.

Wen Yan naturally would not refuse.

Wang Jiyong used the seal on his body to open the stone door. It didn't look like a blacksmith's workshop, but rather grooves filled with golden iron liquid that glowed red.

Wen Yan took off the Chunjun mace and handed it to Wang Jiyong. The gray cloth wrapped around the Chunjun mace seemed not to have received Wen Yan's instructions and continued to wrap the Chunjun mace, as if it was a part of the handle of the Chunjun mace.

Wen Yan didn't say anything and handed it out along with the gray cloth.

Anyway, the strongest resistance of gray cloth is fire resistance, and ordinary things cannot burn it.

Wang Jiyong put the Chunjun mace into the groove where the metal liquid was flowing. After waiting for a while, he took it out again. The Chunjun mace was golden and shining, as if it was made of gold. Even the polishing process was saved. It was bright and shiny like electroplating.

The gray cloth, which was originally as delicate as silk and had a hint of fire in it, also turned into a light golden color.

Wen Yan picked up the Chunjun Mace again. It was obviously heavier. Holding it in his hand, there was a hint of indescribable charm.

The gray cloth is also a little heavier, and its visual strength has been significantly improved, and its toughness has been enhanced again. This damn thing of gray cloth is really good, it doesn't learn, it's lazy and plays hide-and-seek, and it clings to it when there is a benefit.

Wen Yan estimated that Wang Jiyong and Wang Hong could see it, but they just pretended not to know and didn't care about the benefit of the gray cloth.

Wang Jiyong didn't say anything, and Wang Hong was also trying to make friends with him. Their contacts with the outside world had always been non-interfering with each other, but it was impossible for them to have no contact at all.

Wen Yan had captured the evil immortal with legitimate reasons, and there was a bounty order signed by the Emperor Qin himself.

Then Wen Yan is the perfect person to serve as their connection with the outside world.

Now that the progress of spiritual energy recovery is not enough, these are the only things that can be used here, and they have no demand for them, so it is reasonable to give them to their own captain.

Wen Yan continued to walk outside, and when they reached another room, Wang Hong led Wen Yan in.

"The Xianyang treasury is no longer there. The reward for Commandant Wen is here. I can decide. You can choose the corresponding reward yourself."

Wang Jiyong walked in and opened the boxes one by one. Some of the boxes contained gold, and some contained copper coins.

The "gold" in the bounty refers to many things.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

If Wang Hong hadn't mentioned it, Wen Yan would have overlooked the fact that the first item of the reward is actually the bounty, and then there is the annual salary.

This was real gold. Wen Yan had a vague impression of it. He had seen it before. One thousand taels converted into the current measurement unit would be at least 20 to 30 kilograms.

Since there is a reward, Wen Yan will not be polite.

He had spent a lot of gold before and needed to replenish it urgently.

One thousand taels of gold. Wen Yan asked for a portion of the gold, and then looked at the other box of golden coins.

"Is this Qin Banliang?"

"These are the coins issued by Your Majesty after he unified the country. After they were made, they were sealed here and have never been opened."

"The first batch of Qin Ban Liang minted?"

"Yes."

Wen Yan's heart skipped a beat. My goodness, how did this get sealed? After so many years, the bronze coin still maintained its golden appearance.

Previously, the chief of the Lieyang tribe personally ordered to help collect, but only collected a dozen or so pieces of the first batch of Qin Banliang.

And here, there is a box directly.

This thing is quite useful. With it in hand, you can use it as money to buy a way out. Literally, you can buy your way out.

Then what is there to hesitate about?

“This is all I have left.”

Wang Hong personally took charge and meticulously helped Wen Yan collect the required amount of 1,000 taels of gold.

Wen Yan was holding the heavy gold and copper coins, and was now very satisfied.

He originally wanted to visit other people, but Wang Hong said no, he gained the merit through legitimate efforts and it was not a reward, so he did not need to thank anyone.

The settlement was now complete, and Wang Hong personally escorted Wen Yan out.

While walking on the road, Wen Yan continued to talk about related topics on the grounds that he still wanted to collect the bounty and that he had a grudge with these evil immortals.

After chatting for a few sentences, Wen Yan got to the point.

"I heard from that fellow named Yan that at that time, an alchemist offered an evil object as an elixir of immortality to Your Majesty, but was stopped by an alchemist named Wei."

Wang Hong recalled and said.

"That's what happened. I remember that Taoist priest.

It is said that he learned from Bian Que, was good at diagnosis, and was proficient in inspection and pulse diagnosis. He also had a special familiarity with herbal prescriptions.

The people who tried the medicine at the beginning did not see any changes after taking it for many days, and the diagnosis was that it was non-toxic and harmless.

The doctor Wei was originally a very humble person and focused on studying medicine.

In order to see His Majesty that day, he had a conflict with the imperial guards. It was the Imperial Censor who came in person to lead him to see His Majesty.

After a few days, someone proposed to abolish the counties and restore the feudal system. Your Majesty was furious and issued an order.

After that, my Yiren Division was busy for quite some time and killed quite a few people.

Eight hundred cannibals were beheaded.

Six hundred demons were beheaded.

Burn three hundred monsters.

One hundred and eight alchemists were killed.

There are thirty-eight flat mountains.

Fourteen rivers were cut off.

Nine lakes were filled in.

As for those that cannot be recorded, they are not counted.

The palace attendant was originally an alien who stole an evil object and escaped.

A reward was offered, and His Majesty personally took charge of the matter."

Speaking of this, Wang Hong sighed.

“That Taoist priest Wei has a keen eye for medicine.

He was already writing a book at that time, and it was possible that he would leave behind a classic.

Unfortunately, it was later heard that when he went to look for medicine, he was killed by the followers of the eunuch Zhao Gao.

His unfinished medical book was also buried in the fire.

It’s a pity.”

As they walked, they arrived at the door. Wen Yan bowed and said thank you.

"Captain Wen, if you have time, you can come and sit with us. If you encounter the same evil spirit, you can also come here. We can temporarily mobilize some soldiers to help you capture that evil spirit."

"Thank you, Master Wang. Please stay."

Wang Hong didn't come out, so Wang Jiyong sent Wen Yan out.

After coming out, Wang Jiyong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was under a lot of pressure facing Wang Hong.

"Why are you so nervous, Brother Wang? I think Master Wang is quite kind."

"He is my father."

"..."

Wen Yan was stunned and cupped his hands with a smile.

Come on, no need to ask anything now.

"Can you drink?"

"You don't need to eat, but you can drink when you are not on duty."

"Okay, I'll bring you some good wine later for you to try."
