When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 761 Life is as cheap as grass
After leaving the dental shop, Xu Zhi walked back to her small workshop surrounded by children.

They said they needed help, but in fact they were just helping Xu Zhi move things and pull some cloth.

The reason why Xu Zhi got close to these little guys was not only because it was a small favor, but more so to better conceal herself with the complex atmosphere of humanity.

Now that his cultivation has been fully restored, Xu Zhi has plans to leave this place and look for Zhou Ju somewhere else and reunite with them.

Although Shengjing is the center of this world, Zhou Ju and others were not reborn here. As disciples of the Three Immortal Islands, they naturally have secret methods of connecting with each other.

Moreover, there are too many great monks in Shengjing, so it is not suitable for causing trouble.

Although it is still unknown what it takes to be considered successful in this trial, Xu Zhi roughly judged that it is closely related to the change of dynasties.

The Dasheng Dynasty has been established for more than 100,000 years, but it is finally coming to an end. Today, the Dasheng is filled with smoke and chaos, and there is a trend of changing dynasties.

Therefore, Shengjing is likely to be the last stage of this trial. As for the early stage, you naturally have to go to the countryside in the lower states to have a chance to stir up the situation.

Just as Xu Zhi was thinking about her next plan, she suddenly found that the skinny little girl was staring at her motionlessly, with her eyes wide open without blinking.

Xu Zhi found it a little funny, so she asked, "Xiao Tianshui, what are you looking at? Do you want to learn my sister's craft?"

The little girl was startled at first, and then she stammered timidly, "Can...can I?"

Although Xu Zhi used magic to weave clothes, she still said confidently: "If you learn my craft, I guarantee you will have enough food every day."

Hearing this, the little girl repeated in disbelief: "Can we have a full meal every day?"

Xu Zhi smiled and nodded, holding up the little girl's dry hair and said, "Like your sister, you can eat white rice and white steamed buns every meal."

Thinking of the fragrant and soft big white steamed bun she had just eaten, the little girl couldn't help swallowing her saliva, her eyes full of desire.

But she rubbed her skinny fingers and pondered for a long time before she said, "I don't like eating fine grains. It's better to change to millet. My brother always changes the fine grains for millet."

Although Xu Zhi knew that this was not a dream made up by Huangliang Pillow, she still felt pity for the little girl's understanding.

"I wish my troublesome apprentice could be so sensible."

When Xu Zhi thought of Guo Sangsang who was disrespectful in front of her, she felt a headache. At the beginning, both Qingdai and Sangsang were placed in front of her for her to choose.

When Xu Zhi was taking in a disciple for the first time, she knew nothing, so she chose Guo Sangsang, who seemed to have a similar eccentric personality to her.

But now he is greedy and envies the calmness of Zhou Ju's two disciples.

Both Guo Yang and Qing Dai seem to be people who can keep calm and accomplish great things.

However, Xu Zhi never thought that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beams will be crooked too. It was because of a master like Zhou Ju that he produced disciples like Guo Yang and Qing Dai.

Guo Sangsang's personality and approach to things are naturally more similar to Xu Zhi's.

Of course, if someone brought this up, Xu Zhi would simply blame her master for the problem.

After all, it is "passed down from generation to generation".

After being "busy" for a long time, Xu Zhi sent the children out and gave them a small bag of food before leaving.

For these children, this is the most appropriate salary, and they don’t have to worry about their food rations being snatched away by others.

However, Xu Zhi did not expect that the fine grains she took out could actually be exchanged for coarse grains such as millet.

A Qi-refining monk can meet the needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation for tens of thousands of people with the most basic spiritual talismans such as rain-praying talismans, seedling-bedding talismans, horse-armor talismans, feather-weaving talismans, and house-building talismans.

Monks have never been just plunderers of the world, they are also great producers.

A civilization that only relies on plunder will never develop to the point where its principles are practiced throughout the universe.

For more than a month, Xu Zhi's weaving workshop remained in operation until the half-grown children earned enough fuel and food to support the family through the cold winter.

The little girl Tianshui learned how to weave clothes as she wished. Of course, this was inseparable from Xu Zhi's "magic loom". She planned to leave it to little Tianshui after leaving Shengjing.

This poor little girl would clean the house every day when she came to Xu Zhi's place. She is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Looking at the little ones coming in one after another, Xu Zhi frowned and asked, "Where's Xiao Tianshui? Why didn't she come today?" Maohou's expression suddenly froze, and he stammered, "It seems something happened at her home."

"What's the matter?" Xu Zhi asked.

Perhaps because they had never seen the usually kind Xu Zhi so stern, the children stood there in a daze, speechless.

Xu Zhi impatiently grabbed the skinny monkey, stroked his head with her right hand, and then read all his memories.

After a moment, Xu Zhi's face completely darkened.

……

Back to two days ago.

"Mom, don't worry about eating. Sister Xu Zhi said that I will be able to become an apprentice soon. In the future, I will be able to work as a weaver to support the family, and my brother won't have to work so hard."

Xiao Tianshui filled his mother and sister's bowls with noodles, and poured the remaining soup into his own bowl.

The woman lying on the bed had a pale face and was completely bloodless, but she was smiling very happily at this moment. She forced herself to stand up straight and pushed the bowl of extra water in front of Xiao Tianshui.

"Our little Tianshui is about to become the Weaver Girl, so of course she has to eat more." The woman stroked the little girl's head affectionately, her face full of pride.

There was also a little boy who just turned six years old, who looked at Xiao Tianshui with admiration.

"Sister is the best!"

But before Xiao Tianshui could enjoy this moment of happiness, there was a rough kick on the door and several burly men rushed in.

Before Xiao Tianshui could ask any questions, she saw the figure in the sturdy man's hand.

"elder brother!"

She rushed over suddenly, but was lifted up by a big hand.

The burly man in the lead said sternly, "Your son broke the boss's magic weapon. You should think carefully about how to compensate him."

Having said that, he threw the boy to the ground as if he were a dead dog.

The boy's condition was very bad at the moment. His legs were limp and he was obviously disabled. His whole body was covered in blood.

But even so, he still struggled and said, "No, it's not like that. There's something wrong with the magic weapon. My...my legs, my legs are..."

Before he could finish, the sturdy man kicked the boy hard in the stomach and said coldly: "It was obviously your improper operation that destroyed the magic weapon. A life like yours cannot be worth a hundred of the adults' magic weapon, let alone two legs."

He looked around, at the frightened woman and child and the struggling Xiao Tianshui, and suddenly an inexplicable gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"I see that you are a poor family, and it doesn't look like you can afford to pay back the master. How about this, I have a business to introduce to you, girl. If it works, it will not only pay off the master's debt, but also bring prosperity to your family."

The boy lying on the ground heard this and struggled and shouted, "No, no, I promise... I promise to raise money to pay back the boss, you can't touch my sister!"

The sturdy man glanced at him like he was trash, "How can you repay your boss's debt with your disability?"

He walked up to the woman, looked her down, and said slowly, word by word: "What do you think, madam?"

The frail woman seemed to be frozen in place. She didn't respond, but her face grew paler.

Xiao Tianshui bit the big man's hand while struggling, and broke free. She raised her little face, looked at the uninvited guests fearlessly, and said firmly: "I will go with you, let my brother and mother go!"

……

"Can such a skinny little guy really do the job?"

"The master's magic weapon has been in disrepair for a long time and is about to break. Now not only does he not have to pay for the unfortunate guy's legs, but he also got such a good product. Naturally, he will be satisfied."

"Master Guo from Xishanfang likes this the best. To us, she is just a little girl, but in the eyes of those people, she is a top-notch treasure!"

"Alas, I heard that no one has ever come out alive from Master Guo. It's a pity for this little kid."

"You idiot, you're still sympathizing with others. Remember, being born in Shenlinfang is the fate of mortals like you and me!"
