These players are more cunning than cunning

Chapter 101: The Law of Nine Rice (nd update)
The preparation time for distributing scripts, setting road signs, making picture cards, and researching turbid instruments passed quickly.

Three days later, the red moon arrived.

At this moment, all creatures between heaven and earth seemed to sense the abnormality of the earth's veins and began to slowly shrink.

It was as if a huge tree was twitching its roots, ready to suck away all the embers rooted in it.

A huge disaster of ashes began to appear, including not only the remains of various humans, but also various wild beasts and monsters that died in the mountains.

South of Pyeongchang.

There are three rooms with their own door and yard.

Zhang Huaping walked into the courtyard filled with gloomy energy, and a cold and gloomy breath hit her in the face.

She kicked the wooden door open and looked around in the dim light: "Do you know clover?"

The fairy doctor in her hand thought for a moment: "Three leaves mean luck, a flower with three leaves?"

Zhang Huaping looked heavy:
"If a mother uses her baby's blood to embroider a clover on her belly, it can increase the next child's comprehension and qualifications. This can make it easier for many poor families to produce a Confucian scholar."

"However, children raised with this method are inherently violent and extreme, and almost always embark on the path of becoming a demon cultivator. Many demon cultivators come from this way."

“After all, the three flowers bloom, knowing that I am me is me, but knowing that I am a bad person is also a kind of self-enlightenment.”

The air was filled with a rotten smell. Pinching her nose, Zhang Huaping and the Sword Fairy found a woman's body on the bed.

Four delicate blood-red tattoos come alive on the skin.

"Right now, this woman has a fourth clover embroidered on her belly. She has lost four children, but she has accumulated this much insight. Her goal is quite ambitious."

"I heard that after ten years of pregnancy, a demon seed with high comprehension will be born."

"pity."

"Her fourth child turned out to be a trick, so she died."

Upon hearing this, the Sword Fairy was silent for a while and sighed, "It's really disgusting, pitiful, and even more hateful."

Zhang Huaping looked solemn and said in a cold voice:
"It's a normal baby ghost, which is easy to deal with. But this evil spell is a little special. It happened to the fourth child. We have to be more careful this time."

Zhang Huaping eventually joined Hongri's commissioned work as a yamen runner, responsible for helping to deal with strange things in various places in the city.

The Red Moon erupted, and chaos broke out everywhere.

She took the Sword Fairy with her to deal with the matter.

The Sword Fairy has no concept of death. She does not find it scary even when seeing the most bloody and cruel scenes. She just feels that the world is not as peaceful as she imagined.

The tranquility, peace, laughter and liveliness at the villa are all displayed by themselves. They live in a dovecote that symbolizes peace and have never been exposed to the real outside world.

Many of the people here live in dilapidated alleys, worrying about their daily livelihood and exhausting every ounce of their energy to support their children's education.

Right now, institutions such as the yamen runners, palace guards, and the Demon Suppression Bureau are in full operation, working themselves to death and incurring heavy casualties.

"Tear!"

Zhang Huaping's face suddenly turned cold. She drew out her sword and chopped at the flying piece of rotten flesh.

It's sizzling!

The blood and flesh separated and turned into balls of flesh.

Zhang Huaping left without looking back, jumping on the eaves, "Let's go to the next place, Pingyuan Lane. There are more evil spirits over there, and there may be more terrifying things."

"Is it going to be like this every day?" asked the Sword Fairy.

"According to records, this happens every day during the Red Moon. Because of the rampage of monsters, they are attracted to flesh and blood. The city is filled with blood and energy, and they swarm in, creating a scene of monsters attacking the city. Monsters from all over the wild will appear, and the probability of them appearing locally will also increase, making it difficult to guard against."

Zhang Huaping looked heavy:
"But it's impossible for people to stay awake for a month. We will take turns to rest. It will be over after a little hardship and fatigue. This only comes once every 150 years, and many people will never encounter it in their lifetime."

Over the past few days, the Sword Fairy also knew Zhang Huaping's origins and life experience.

My husband and I met her childhood sweetheart when we were in school. Unfortunately, he was teased and beaten by a few bad boys simply because they thought her poetry was better than theirs and it hurt his face.

But Zhang Huaping had no resentment because the murderer had already been punished.

The imperial court used harsh laws to rule the country, and it was difficult to control the people outside the city. However, if someone broke the law inside the city, even a monk with high cultivation level would be punished the same as a commoner. A part of the "Nine Rice Laws" is as follows.

Petty thieves will be beheaded.

Anyone who maliciously injures another person severely or causes the death of another person shall be torn to pieces by a chariot.

Those who were corrupt and accepted bribes, causing large numbers of casualties among the people, would have their four internal organs dug out, or be skinned and stuffed with straw, and planted on the city walls as a warning to others.

Rebellion, attack on government premises, and dig out people's hearts.

Heart removal is basically a death sentence.

Five bodies, four organs, three origins, two aspects, one mind, transform me.

Even if one's five limbs and four organs have been cultivated to the ninth level of the physical body, but he still has not cultivated his mind, the heart is the only weakness of the immortal body. For most great cultivators, digging out the heart is a dead end.

Those who killed Zhang Huaping's husband were tortured to death by being torn apart by five horses.

None of them had cultivated the five bodies to perfection, but only cultivated three bodies, so two of their limbs could not be restored, their physical bodies were damaged, and their future was completely cut off.

Coming from a scholarly family, where generations have been studying, the cold stares and ridicule from others are more painful than killing them.

Of course, most of the children of immortal families are extremely well-educated and will not commit crimes, because that is a very low-class thing, and scholars hate uneducated hooligans.

They are almost all elegant and polite, or rather, arrogant is a more appropriate description.

"The punishment of this world" Sword Fairy didn't know what to say. The difficulty level of torture had undergone a major change.

Ordinary people who have not practiced cultivation and commit petty thefts are subject to death penalty by beheading.

If a monk who has practiced cultivation commits petty theft, being beheaded is an injury and he will be fine after recuperation.

The same sentencing produces different effects on different people.

Click!

Zhang Huaping killed a black, burrowing monster that was wriggling like an earthworm. "Let's go to the villa tomorrow. We need to get the 20 blind boxes that are delivered every three days."

"Well, I still have a letter to deliver." The Sword Fairy said.

"I'll take you back to the Red Mansion first." Zhang Huaping said with a smile.

They returned to the street, which was lined with pavilions and towers.

There are bluestone slabs underfoot, and shops are still open for business. The atmosphere is more tense than usual, but they are all posted with pictures of saints, couplets, and talismans to suppress evil spirits.

Zhang Huaping thought for a moment and said, "By the way, you, the apprentice courtesan, don't you have any customers to recite poems with you?"

"They are short-sighted!"

The Sword Fairy was extremely ashamed and angry: "After all, it is the Red Sun, and everyone is very busy. How can we have time to go shopping? But I get along well with several sisters who study medicine."

After all, there are always people in the Dream of the Red Chamber who have at least one skill, and there are many female doctors who are proficient in medicine.

The Red Mansion is essentially a place for communication.

This communication is not only for the guests, but also for the courtesans in each building.

Zhang Huaping smiled like a gentle big sister next door, "You, study hard, I believe you have the talent."

"Of course, I want to be famous all over the world and become the world's first mechanical swordsman." She said proudly, "Famous throughout the nine provinces! I will be number one on the Divine Weapon List, and I will also be number one on the Sword God List."

Zhang Huaping smiled and did not refute.

The peddlers on the roadside were once as scholarly as us, wearing white shirts and holding folding fans.

But in the end, he still became a shopkeeper, a street vendor, and a porter to support his children's education.

Early the next morning.

Zhang Huaping handed over the order to the old shopkeeper, then led the Sword Fairy into the teleportation array: "Let's go, let's go up the mountain!"
