Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 55 I have a sister

The people of Qinghe County knelt down before Fan Shiyi and the escort team to thank them for saving their lives.

Captain Leng and his men seemed a little deserted.

"Damn it, this good thing should have been ours."

One of the yamen runners said angrily. The people in the yamen suffered the most serious losses, but they did not hold out to the end.

On the contrary, the escort agency, although losing one person, successfully transported the grain to Qinghe County.

The escort agency became a hero.

Captain Leng felt a little lonely. He didn't expect that Fan Shiyi was still alive.

"It must be Master Fan, it must be Master Fan, it must be Master Fan who drove away the rat demon."

The cold captain said.

"Yes, it must be Master Fan."

"If it weren't for Master Fan, how could these people still be alive? They would have been eaten by the rat demon long ago."

The yamen runners were talking to each other, and their words were full of jealousy.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, line up outside, we will start distributing porridge now."

Fan Shiyi said loudly.

After hearing this, the victims began to line up consciously.

County Magistrate Chen came to Fan Shiyi with some yamen runners and local gentry.

"Master Fan, this matter is somewhat against the rules. Logically speaking, it should be handled by our government."

County Magistrate Chen said.

"Yes, yes, Master Fan, this is a bit against the rules."

“Although you are the ones who protected the food, you are the ones who are protecting the food.”

"Since the grain has already arrived in Qingyuan County, Qingyuan County should be responsible for this matter."

Officials at all levels and wealthy gentry in Qingyuan County were talking to each other.

What they mean is simple.

No one else can and should do the disaster relief work; it must be done by people from Qingyuan County.

Fan Shiyi glanced at Zhou Ping and she knew that Zhou Ping was right.

Once these grains fall into the hands of these officials and gentry, they will definitely be exploited at every level.

It is still uncertain how much of the food will eventually reach the victims!
"Everyone, let me tell you something."

"This batch of grain has been secretly replaced by the county magistrate of Qinghe County. 70% of the grain is stones and 30% is grain."

Fan Shiyi said.

County Magistrate Chen and others were shocked when they heard this.

Captain Leng and several other officers were also very surprised when they heard the news.

"No wonder the rat demon was so persistent in pursuing us! It turns out he wanted to destroy the evidence."

Captain Leng sighed deeply. He finally understood why this mission was so difficult.

The enemy is within!

County Magistrate Chen, officials at all levels, and gentry did not believe Fan Shiyi's words and began to check the grain cart by cart.

At the same time, Fan Shiyi arranged for the people in the escort agency to start building a stove and cooking.

There was no iron pot, so Xiaoqing swam around in the lake and found a lot of iron pots.

There is no water, so we take water directly from the lake.

After a while, the smell of rice began to waft from the tunnel entrance.

Xiaoqing fished out a lot of bowls and chopsticks from the lake.

As the aroma of rice spread, Fan Shiyi began to distribute porridge.

However, before distributing the porridge, Fan Shiyi would tell the victims that there were stones in the food.

But this is not a problem at all for the victims.

These days, we have eaten everything from tree bark to Guanyin soil. Do we still care whether there are stones in the food?

Even if there are stones in the grain, it is still grain.

On the other side, County Magistrate Chen, along with local officials and gentry, had inspected the entire grain transport convoy.

Many sacks of grain contained stones.

As soon as these people came out, some wealthy gentry left immediately.

The enthusiasm of officials at all levels is also low.

Although these people also suffered from the disaster, overall they did not starve to death.

The landlord still has some surplus.

A few local gentry and petty officials did not believe it and took a sip of the porridge.

"Ouch, ouch, mine."

A fat and big-eared rich man drank a mouthful of rice soup with stones in it, and his mouth immediately started bleeding.

The stones wore away the rich man's teeth.

"Damn, what the hell."

The rich man threw the rice soup on the ground and left without looking back.

"County Magistrate Chen, we are exhausted after several battles. I will leave the rest to you."

Fan Shiyi clapped his hands and left.

The people from the escort agency also left tactfully.

County Magistrate Chen quickly took his men to start distributing porridge.

Fan Shiyi has already started it. If Qingyuan County does not continue to provide porridge, it will arouse public indignation.

This is also the reason why Fan Shiyi is distributing porridge here.

Once things start, it's hard to change them.

Fan Shiyi and the people from the escort agency withdrew, and the officials of Qingyuan County began to take over the porridge distribution.

Fan Shiyi felt very happy.

“Fuck! It feels so good!”

Originally, there were only 30% of the food left, and Fan Shiyi was worried that he could not help the victims.

But seeing the faces of those officials and gentry, Fan Shiyi knew that even if the food was all good and intact, probably no more than 30% would reach the hands of the victims.

"Zhou Ping, you are right."

Fan Shiyi said.

Zhou Ping didn't comment, just smiled.

On the other side, Captain Leng and his men were watching Fan Shiyi talking and laughing with the people from the escort agency, and they were filled with jealousy.

The yamen runners had similar thoughts. We should be the protagonists in this task of escorting grain.

How could this bunch of lousy escorts be loved by the victims? How could they be appreciated by Master Fan?

Zhou Ping looked at the panel in front of him.

[Lifespan: three years, six months and eight days]

[Telepathy: Zero]

[The End of the World: Zero]

[Go on a convoy to immortality, don’t ask about worldly affairs]

Zhou Ping did not hesitate to exchange his life for skills.

【Lifespan: one year, six months and eight days】

[Telepathy: One]

[The End of the World: 1]

[Go on a convoy to immortality, don’t ask about worldly affairs]

Seeing that both skills were lit up, Zhou Ping's uneasiness was relieved a lot.

This journey through the tunnel is truly dangerous.

If Zhou Ping had a skill that could put the world at his fingertips, he would choose to escape.

Unfortunately, the Demon Lord had used up all of Zhou Ping's skills.

On the right side of the split screen panel, there is no white dot, only two red dots.

The white dots represent tasks, and now the tasks have been completed.

The red dots represent places where it can be delivered.

One of the red dots is in Qinghe County, and the other is in the middle of the mountains between the two counties.

The red dot in the center of the mountain was left by Zhou Ping when he killed someone.

At the beginning, Zhou Ping left a mark on the mountain, then took Liu Ruyan back to Qinghe County, and returned to his original place.

He sacrificed two years of his life just to conceal his own strength.

Later, relying on the marking point between the two counties, Zhou Ping moved the mountains and saved the entire Qinghe County.

Zhou Ping left the escort team and came to the tunnel.

After seeing the lake, Xiaoqing left Zhou Ping's body and went to swim in the river.

Zhou Ping entered the tunnel and summoned the ghost baby.

It is daytime outside the tunnel, but inside the tunnel there is no distinction between black and white, so ghosts can also appear.

The ghost bride holds the ghost baby.

"Daddy, sissy, sissy."

The ghost baby still only knew how to say these two sentences. He regarded Zhou Ping as his father and the ghost bride as his mother.

Zhou Ping took out two Yin Ling flowers.

This is the spiritual flower that Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi encountered by chance.

If it weren’t for Fan Shiyi, Zhou Ping wouldn’t have known the effectiveness of this thing.

Yin Ling Flower can help ghosts and monsters improve their cultivation.

There were three Yin Ling flowers in total. Fan Shiyi took one, and Zhou Ping took many.

When Zhou Ping took out the Yin Ling Flower, the ghost baby was attracted to it. The ghost baby instinctively wanted the Yin Ling Flower.

"These two flowers are for you. The focus is on you! Only when you become stronger can you protect the child."

Zhou Ping gave two Yin Ling flowers to the ghost bride.

"Thank you sir."

The ghost bride squatted and bowed.

Zhou Ping felt a little surprised.

When the ghost bride appeared, she frightened the yamen runners who had ill intentions towards Zhou Ping.

The ghost bride destroyed her own reputation and said that Zhou Ping was the one she liked.

Zhou Ping felt grateful towards the ghost bride.

The relationship between the two began because Zhou Ping had compassion and he saved the ghost bride.

But later the ghost bride almost died while trying to save Zhou Ping.

The bond between the man and the ghost grows deeper and deeper.

Although Zhou Ping was a little surprised when he heard the word "husband", he didn't think too much about it.

The ghost bride disappeared with the ghost baby and the Yin Ling Flower.

The Ghost Bride's cultivation level was ninth rank, but after being seriously injured, she fell to the tenth rank.

Zhou Ping hopes that the ghost bride's cultivation can be restored so that she can help him.

After sending the ghost bride away, Zhou Ping began to meditate with his eyes closed.

This battle was not without gain.

Relying on Fan Shiyi's secret technique and borrowing the power of the relic, Zhou Ping was able to barely fight the rat demon to a draw.

The relic disappeared after its power was exhausted.

However, when Zhou Ping borrowed the power of the relic, part of the Buddhist spiritual power entered Zhou Ping's body.

Zhou Ping was originally the tenth level of Buddhism.

The power of the relic elevated Zhou Ping's realm.

Zhou Ping is now at the ninth level of Buddhism.

Zhou Ping lightly punched the stone wall.

A large crack suddenly appeared on the stone wall.

"Ninth Rank! Ninth Rank, this is the power of the Ninth Rank."

Zhou Ping's eyes were full of excitement.

The power of the ninth rank is more than twice that of the eighth rank.

Zhou Ping is now at the ninth rank in Buddhism, the tenth rank in Confucianism, the tenth rank in martial arts, and the tenth rank in Taoism.

After reaching the tenth level of Buddhism, Zhou Ping felt that his strength was twice as strong as before.

Zhou Ping now has no problem dealing with a ninth-grade warrior, and can barely hold his own against an eighth-grade warrior.

It can be said that Zhou Ping is the number one person below the ninth rank!
Not only that, the method of borrowing the sky spirit has also been upgraded.

The perception range of the Tianling Fa has reached fifty meters!

Within fifty feet, Zhou Ping could sense everything clearly.

As his cultivation level improved, the inner elixir in Zhou Ping's abdomen also became larger.

The inner elixir has become the size of a grain of rice.

The inner elixir the size of a grain of rice can charge Zhou Ping's spiritual power ten times.

"Sure enough, crisis, crisis."

"There are dangers but also opportunities!"

"This trip is profitable."

into the night.

After a day of distributing porridge, the disaster victims in Qingyuan County were stabilized.

The situation of the disaster victims in Qingyuan County is special.

This was originally a fertile land where crops could be grown.

Qingyuan County is richer than Qinghe County.

Qinghe County relies on the mountains for its livelihood and can only sell medicinal herbs.

You can farm in Qingyuan County.

However, this unexpected disaster turned the people of Qingyuan County into victims.

But this situation will not last.

Some people have started catching fish from the lake to survive.

As the saying goes, you can rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you can rely on water to eat water.

In some days, the disaster victims in Qingyuan County will be able to find a suitable way to survive.

But the initial process was a bit difficult.

Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi are boating on the lake.

The boat was painted by Fan Shiyi.

In the middle of the lake, the shadow of a giant snake was swimming freely.

The boat traveled a long way before bringing Zhou Ping to the center of the lake.

The lake was so big that Zhou Ping couldn't even imagine it.

Zhou Ping didn't even dare to think about it. This place was originally a plain. What force turned the plain into a lake?

"Zhou Ping, do you know the shape of this lake?"

Fan Shiyi suddenly asked.

Zhou Ping shook his head. How would I know the shape of this lake?

“The lake is in the shape of a palm.”

Fan Shiyi said.

palm?

Zhou Ping was a little shocked.

"You mean someone slapped the ground and that's why it became a lake?"

Zhou Ping expressed his guess.

"That's a top-level Taoist master."

Fan Shiyi is knowledgeable and knows a lot.

When Zhou Ping heard Fan Shiyi's words, he was shocked beyond words.

A lake this big was created with just one slap of the palm.

Is this really something a human can do?
Zhou Ping was filled with excitement. First rank, this is the power of first rank! Sooner or later, I can become a first rank too.

The existence of the panel allows Zhou Ping to accumulate slowly.

Especially in the four paths of Confucianism, martial arts, Buddhism and Taoism, Zhou Ping has already planted the seeds.

No matter how slow this seed grows, as long as Zhou Ping can live forever, Zhou Ping can survive.

The boat swayed gently, carrying Zhou Ping through the lake.

On a shore, on a fishing boat full of lanterns, bursts of women's laughter attracted the attention of Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi.

On the red boat, there was constant sound of stringed instruments and the laughter of women.

A man got drunk and ran out of the cabin and vomited.

"Ouch, my teeth! What a crap food! It knocked all my teeth out."

The man cursed and vomited, and then returned to the cabin.

Zhou Ping knew this man.

During the day, the man tasted the porridge with stones and knocked out a tooth.

Fan Shiyi also recognized the man.

Fan Shiyi looked at Zhou Ping again.

Just as Zhou Ping said, if there were no stones in the grain, the grain would be taken away by these rich families.

The real victims of the disaster have no food to eat at all.

Fan Shiyi was very curious about Zhou Ping. The man in front of him looked similar to himself. How did he know these things?
Fan Shiyi was just about to ask Zhou Ping a question when Zhou Ping suddenly recited a poem.

Zhou Ping was not a liberal arts student, so he didn't remember that many poems.

But there are always two lines of poetry that are engraved in my bones and will pop up at a certain moment.

For example, now, Zhou Ping thought of the refugees during the day and the flower boats at night, and two lines of poetry suddenly popped up in his mind.

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."

Zhou Ping said slowly.

Fan Shiyi widened his eyes and looked at Zhou Ping in disbelief.

This is what you call uncultured, but why are these poems one after another?

Fan Shiyi has heard three poems by Zhou Ping, and she feels these two lines are the most vivid.

There is no red gate here, only red flower boats.

There are no people freezing to death here, but there are people starving to death.

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."

Fan Shiyi frowned. She was amazed by these two lines of poetry, and at the same time, they aroused Fan Shiyi's desire to win.

Fan Shiyi thought again and again, racking his brains, but he could not think of a better poem than these two lines.

Fan Shiyi reviewed the historical poems again, but still could not find any that could compare to these two.

Fan Shiyi gave up, she knew she was not able to write with such artistic conception at her current stage.

"Zhou Ping, you want a wife or not, I have a sister."
