The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 80, Return to Beijing

Because of the sudden appearance of the Green Bull Demon, Hua Changxi was too lazy to hide his identity as a cultivator in front of Aniu and Pu Cao. In order to hurry on his way, he did not take the official road, but walked on the mountain road with the Green Bull.

Along the way, Hua Changxi was flying in the sky on a cloud, and in the mountains and forests, the green ox was running on the ground dragging Aniu and Pucao.

"Xiaoqing, you don't know how to ride the clouds?"

"My dear fairy, I have inherited the great strength of the Ox Clan, but I don't know any magic."

Qingniu was also a very capable ox. He envied Hua Changxi riding the cloud and took the opportunity to ask, "Fairy, can you teach me the art of flying?"

Hua Changxi glanced at Qingniu and said, "There is no free lunch in the world. I will teach you magic. What can you do for me?"

Ah Niu cared about Qing Niu very much and immediately replied: "Chang Xi, as long as you can teach Xiao Qing the art of soaring clouds, we will do whatever you ask us to do."

Hua Changxi said calmly: "What can you do now? I just need you to do something, but you must have the corresponding ability."

Ah Niu changed his usual timid attitude and said: "As long as the fairy teaches Xiao Qing, I can give up my own life."

Hua Changxi glanced at him, and was speechless: "You don't dare to stand up for yourself, but you dare to risk your life for a cow."

Ah Niu seemed to want to say something, but Qing Niu shook him, signaling him to stop.

It could see that the fairy in front of it was different from the villagers they had met before. In the village, people who were willing to dedicate themselves and sacrifice themselves would be very welcome, but when it came to the fairy, she didn't seem to like it very much.

Ah Niu had just mustered up the courage to speak, but was interrupted by Qingniu, and he felt deflated. Thinking that Sister Pu Cao would always speak for him in the past, but was unusually silent today, he couldn't help but look at her.

What is Pu Cao doing now? She is still distracted and has not yet recovered from the collapse of her worldview.

The cow can talk!
Cows can actually talk!

And the new master can actually ride the clouds!

Is she a fairy?
Yes, Qingniu called her a fairy, so she must be a god.

She actually found a god as her master!
"Sister Pu Cao, are you okay?"

Hearing Aniu's concerned voice, Pu Cao came back to his senses and said dully: "It's okay, I'm fine, I just need some time to relax."

Hua Changxi also looked at Pu Cao. It was understandable that ordinary people would find it unbelievable for a moment when they were suddenly exposed to the mysterious side of this world. She did not shout or ask questions, so she had a good character.

Three hours later, as the sky began to darken, the gate of the capital city appeared in the sight of Hua Changxi and his party.

Before entering the city, Hua Changxi looked at the two men and the cow and said, "We are about to enter the city. Since you are following me temporarily, you must follow my rules. My first rule is to keep your mouth shut."

"Pucao, Aniu, you are the two guys I hired. I have a shop in Feng'anfang, and I am planning to open a medicine shop. What you need to do is to help me look after the shop."

"And the blue ox is the foot that pulls the goods in the shop."

"Remember the roles you play and don't do anything beyond the scope of your roles."

"If you can't meet my requirements, then you can't follow me."

Pu Cao had almost digested the emotion at this moment, and quickly expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, Changxi, we won't say anything nonsense. Aniu and I are both capable and will definitely take good care of the shop. As for the cow, Aniu will take good care of it and won't let it do anything wrong."

Ah Niu nodded hurriedly.

Qingniu's big head also nodded.

Hua Changxi: "I don't care what people say, I only care what they do. I hope you can do what you say." After saying that, he took two people and a cow into the city.

Hua Changxi did not return to the Hua family, nor did he go to the Medical Bureau. Instead, he took Pu Cao, Aniu and Qingniu to the shop in Feng'anfang.

I bought the shop at the beginning of the year, but I haven't had time to take care of it. The weeds in the backyard are half a meter high, and the house is covered with dust.

Aniu and Pu Cao looked at the three large shops and the well-equipped yard at the back. Their eyes sparkled and they felt that life had hope again.

Hua Changxi took out the 100 taels of silver he had earned from selling fish and looked at Pu Cao: "Do you know how to keep accounts?"

Pu Cao nodded: "Yes, I always keep accounts when I sell tofu with my mother-in-law."

Hua Changxi: "There are food and clothing for sale in the market. You and Ah Niu can buy the daily necessities you need and just write down the bill."

"Now that the shop hasn't opened yet, I'll pay you one tael of silver a month. When the shop opens in the future, I'll adjust your wages based on how the business is doing."

"Working in the shop, food and accommodation are provided, but you have to pay for other extra expenses yourself."

"You all know what a pharmacy looks like, right?"

"If you don't know, go walk around the street in the next few days and see how other pharmacies are arranged."

"I'll give you one month to find someone to clean and set up the pharmacy. Can you do it?"

Although it was his first time in the capital and he didn't know anything, Pu Cao still took the silver and said, "If you can do it, Ah Niu and I will definitely clean up the shop."

Hua Changxi looked at her and said, "If the silver is not enough, you can tell me. Oh, and I need to make a cart for Qingniu. If the store needs to pull something, it needs to do the work."

Qingniu suddenly asked, "Do I get paid?"

Hua Changxi paused for a moment and said, "Yes, just like them, one tael of silver a month."

Knowing that he would also be paid, Qingniu was satisfied and said that he would transport the goods well.

Hua Changxi: "I have to report to the Medical Department tomorrow, so I may not be here for long. If you have anything, you can go to the Medical Department to find me."

She didn't want her family to know that she had opened a shop outside, so she didn't tell them the address of the Hua family.

After explaining what was to be done, Hua Changxi let Pu Cao and Aniu handle it on their own, and she left Feng'anfang and returned to the Hua family.

When Hua Changxi returned to the Hua family, it was already completely dark. As she approached the Hua family's yard, her expression changed.

Spiritual energy fluctuates!

Why is there a fluctuation of spiritual energy in the Hua family's yard?

Hua Changxi leaped directly onto the courtyard wall. After sensing it, he found that the spiritual energy fluctuations were coming from the second and fourth rooms in the backyard.

"who?"

Hua Minghe came out with the foot washing water and immediately noticed a person on the courtyard wall. He shouted a warning and picked up the broom under the eaves to throw it over.

Hua Changxi quickly shouted, "Dad, it's me."

"Jiu Niang."

When Hua Minghe heard his daughter's voice, he was a little surprised at first, and then his face showed joy.

At this time, the other rooms in the front yard were also opened, and Hua Liulang rushed out in his shorts and holding a knife.

Hua Changxi jumped off the courtyard wall: "It's me, it's me."

Hua Liulang's face lit up with joy: "Jiu Niang, you're back."

Yao also ran out of the room. Seeing Hua Changxi, she quickly stepped forward and took her to look at her. After making sure that her daughter was fine, she complained, "You kid, why did you climb over the wall instead of going home through the front door?"

Hua Changxi smiled awkwardly and saw people from the second and fourth rooms walking quickly towards him from the backyard. His gaze focused on Hua Silang and Hua Shier Niang from the second room, and Hua Qi Niang from the fourth room, and he paused for a moment.

These three people have actually already drawn the energy into their bodies!
"I just want to give you a surprise."

Old Lady Hua's dissatisfied voice sounded: "I'm not surprised, but I'm really scared. After not going home for a few months, not only have you not made any progress, but you've even learned the ways of a bandit."

"mother."

Hua Minghe called out to Old Lady Hua and stopped her from preaching.

In the upper living room, Mr. Hua's cough was also heard: "Nine Lady is back, let's all go inside and talk."

Old Mrs. Hua then stopped saying anything else and turned to go into the house.

Hua Changxi had long been immune to Old Lady Hua. At this moment, she only wanted to know how Hua Qi Niang and the other two embarked on the path of cultivation. After being pulled into the living room by Yao and greeting the elders, her eyes were always on the three of them. Hua Shier Niang saw Hua Changxi staring at her and smiled a little proudly: "Nine Niang, why are you looking at me like that?"

Hua Changxi immediately asked: "Twelve, you and Seventh Sister have such beautiful skin, what maintenance methods do you use?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the elders in the Hua family changed.

Hua Minghe and Yao looked at each other, both surprised at their daughter's sharpness.

Hua Twelve Niang said happily: "It's not a maintenance method, it's Shi Niang. Shi Niang came back some time ago and brought a transparent crystal stone for the family to touch. Only Qi Niang and I made the stone shine."

"Shi Niang said that people who can make crystal stones shine can practice the Taoist techniques. She gave me a copy of the Five Elements Technique and gave Seventh Sister a copy of the Fire and Wood Technique."

"After practicing with Qi Niang, I really feel that my body and complexion have improved a lot."

When Hua Changxi heard that Hua Shi Niang was back, he was delighted and looked at Yao and Hua Minghe: "Father and mother, Shi Niang is back? Where is she?"

Speaking of her youngest daughter, Yao's face darkened: "She left. Something happened in Taisu Palace. Shi Niang came back and stayed for only one day, and she was called away again."

"Shi Niang originally wanted to go to Medicine Valley with your third and sixth brothers to see you. They said you were alone there and they were worried that something might happen to you, so they asked us to bring you back."

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "Shi Niang just loves to worry. By the way, mother, have you been living well in Taisu Palace these years?"

Before Yao spoke, Hua Twelve Niang spoke first: "Of course, Nine Niang, you didn't see that Ten Niang is now more ladylike than the ladies from wealthy families, and she is very impressive."

"Shi Niang also left some health-preserving elixirs for the elders in the family. Didn't you notice that grandparents and uncle are looking much better than before?"

"However, when it comes to maintaining health, we still have to practice Taoist exercises. Unfortunately, not everyone can practice Taoist self-cultivation exercises. Only my seventh sister and I can do it."

Hua Changxi looked at Hua Silang: "I see that Fourth Brother's complexion is similar to Seventh Sister and Twelve Sister's, and better than the others. What's going on?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Hua Twelve Niang, who had just been keen on showing off, suddenly stopped talking.

Old Madam Hua glanced at Hua Changxi and muttered, "You have such sharp eyes."

Hua Changxi looked at his silent family members, especially noticing that his father and mother lowered their heads with guilt on their faces. The others also looked a little uncomfortable: "What happened?"

Hua Liulang spoke in a muffled voice: "The Taoist practice is not only practiced by Qi Niang and Shi Er Niang. Qi Niang and Shi Er Niang have their own talents, but others can also practice by taking elixirs."

Hua Changxi's eyes flashed: "What kind of medicine?"

Hua Liulang looked at his sister and said, "Shi Niang left three sets of elixirs, one set has two pills, one is a rebirth pill and the other is a wood spirit pill. As long as you eat them, you can practice Taoist techniques."

Seeing that Hua Liulang seemed to want to continue, Old Master Hua spoke up: "It's getting late, and Jiu Niang must be tired. Let's stop here for today and go back to rest."

After saying that, he went back to the west room first. Old Mrs. Hua followed immediately. When they saw the old couple leave, the people from the second and fourth rooms all got up and went back to the backyard.

Hua Changxi watched the scene indifferently, and he had already guessed what was going on.

Given Shi Niang's personality, he would definitely leave the elixir for her, but given her grandfather's preference for boys over girls, her share of the elixir was probably eaten by other men in the family.

Hua Changxi followed Hua Minghe and Yao to the east room where they lived. Hua Sanlang and Hua Liulang looked at each other and followed them in.

"Father and mother, who did you give the three pills that Shi Niang gave you?"

Seeing that Hua Minghe didn't speak, Hua Liulang said, "Big brother, fourth brother, and eleventh brother."

Hua Changxi: "Assigned by grandfather?"

Hua Liulang: "Who else could it be except grandpa? Grandpa said that the first house has the eldest brother and the tenth mother, the second house has the fourth brother and the twelfth mother, and the fourth house has the seventh mother and the eleventh mother. In this way, the three houses can develop in a balanced way and no one will be left behind."

Hua Changxi looked at Hua Minghe and Yao: "Father, mother, the elixir belongs to Shi Niang. Even if you don't give it to me, it would be good to give it to my third brother or sixth brother. Why did you let grandfather make the decision?"

Hua Minghe looked at Hua Changxi: "Jiu Niang, your grandfather also did it for the entire Hua family."

Hua Changxi sneered, "Grandfather can make long-term plans for the Hua family, but the prerequisite is that he himself has the ability. What's the matter with taking other people's things and being generous to others?"

Hua Minghe was actually bothered by Grandpa Hua's distribution of the elixirs, but as a child, how could he say anything wrong about his parents? "Your grandfather said that in the future, the family will do its best to support your third and sixth brothers in martial arts training."

Hua Liulang snorted: "But, the Taoist skills are much more powerful than martial arts."

Hua Minghe looked at Hua Liulang unhappily: "You haven't practiced it before, so how do you know that Taoist techniques are more powerful?"

Hua Liulang: "I just know that even if you become a martial arts master, you can't fly, but Shi Niang can fly."

Seeing her son so angry, Yao couldn't help but comfort him, "Everything has its destiny. Not getting some things may not be a bad thing."

Hua Changxi looked at the four of them and said, "Father, mother, third brother, sixth brother, do you want to practice Taoist techniques?"

Hua Liulang muttered, "Who wouldn't want to?"

Seeing that the other three did not deny it, Hua Changxi asked again: "Did you copy the Taoist skills left by Shi Niang?"

Hua Liulang immediately said, "Third brother copied it."

Hua Changxi looked at Hua Sanlang: "Third brother, I want to see it."

Hua Sanlang looked at her and said, "It's useless to look at it. You can't practice without a spiritual vein."

Hua Changxi: "Bring it here for me to see first."

Hua Sanlang had no choice but to go back to his room and get the three copied books of martial arts.

Hua Changxi took it and flipped through it: "The Green Wood Art, the Five Elements Art, and the Fire Wood Art."

Hua Sanlang explained: "Qiniang practices the Fire Wood Art, Twelve Niang practices the Five Elements Art, and the three brothers who took Ten Niang's elixir practice the Green Wood Art."

Hua Changxi was reading the Five Elements Decision. "It says there are five best spiritual veins: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. If you were asked to choose, what would you choose?"

Hua Saburo shook his head and laughed: "Is this something we can choose?"

Hua Changxi looked at his parents and two brothers and said with a smile, "We have nothing to do anyway, so let's just treat it as a game. If it were me, I would choose the Fire Spiritual Vein."

Hua Liulang was the first to respond: "I choose the Fire Spiritual Vein, too."

Hua Changxi looked at Hua Sanlang: "Third brother, what about you?"

Deep down, Hua Sanlang wanted to practice Taoist techniques, but he also knew that he probably wouldn't have the chance, and he didn't want to mess around with his brothers and sisters, so he didn't say anything.

Hua Liulang helped him say, "Third brother likes to make medicine, so he will definitely choose the Wood Spiritual Vein."

Hua Changxi looked at Hua Minghe and Yao again: "Where are my father and mother?"

Yao sensed something strange about her daughter's questions: "I like fire, and your father likes wood, right?"

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "You all know that I am valued by the Grand Master of Medicine Valley, right?"

"Master You gave me a few pills some time ago. I took one and then I had a fire spirit vein. I have four pills left. You can each take one."

Hearing this, Hua Minghe and the other three were stunned. It was not until they saw Hua Changxi actually take out two red pills and two green pills and smelled the fragrance of the pills that they came to their senses.

Hua Liulang swallowed his saliva and said, "Nine Lady, what kind of medicine is this?"

Hua Changxi shook his head: "I'm not sure either, but after eating it, I can practice Taoist techniques."

Upon hearing this, Hua Liulang quickly took a Fire Spirit Pill and threw it directly into his mouth. Feeling the pill turning into a warm current flowing to all parts of his body, he closed his eyes comfortably.

Hua Changxi handed the pill to the other three people.

Hua Sanlang glanced at Hua Liulang, took the pill and threw it into his mouth.

Yao was a little worried: "Nine Mother, tell me, where did this elixir come from?"

Hua Changxi smiled and shook her head: "Mother, I don't want to lie to you, but there are some things I don't want to say."

Yao and Hua Minghe looked at each other, took the pill, and ate it without hesitation.

It takes some time to absorb the elixir. Hua Changxi helped the four people sit down, and seeing that nothing went wrong with them, he returned to his room.
