Raising the Demon

Chapter 43
"Sir..." Zi Baifeng squatted in the corner, covering his head like a wronged little daughter-in-law, looking down at his toes and drawing circles. He was already scolded by the lord yesterday, and he doesn't want to be punished again today. Mr. cursed a meal.

"You, you, tell me what to say." The old pedant sat aside, looking at a small gurgling pot, which contained a pot of fragrant porridge. After a big drunk yesterday, today's son Bai Feng vomited whatever he ate, it was even more troublesome than being pregnant for three months.

After being scolded by the mansion lord, he was brought over again by the gentleman. Although he was not taught a lesson along the way, he was inevitably knocked on the forehead by the gentleman again: "Empty!"

The old pedant looked at Zi Baifeng and shook his head, really not knowing what to say.

I thought this student had changed his appearance, but who knew that he was still the same irritable temper, unwilling to suffer at all, and unwilling to compromise. Now that he has made a big mess, what should he do next?
However, seeing Zi Baifeng's dejected look, the master stepped forward again, stretched out his hand to touch Zi Baifeng's forehead, and said with a smile: "I didn't pack the bag."

Zi Baifeng laughed out loud.

Seeing Zi Baifeng laughed, the master laughed too, and said: "If you do anything in the future, think twice. Fortunately, this time, you haven't made too much trouble..."

"Well, I'm actually quite strong." Seeing that Mr. Wang didn't plan to talk about himself anymore, Zi Baifeng immediately began to act cute again, "It's still more pitiful for Luo Qianshan."

"You still have the nerve to say it!" Zi Baifeng was not punished, but was reprimanded—instead, Luo Qianshan was punished.

At this moment in the barracks, Luo Qianshan was sweating profusely while his little soldiers were counting loudly: "Five hundred, five hundred one, five hundred two... General, I really want to make a thousand... five One hundred and eight... six hundred..."

The little personal soldier was sympathetic to his general, and secretly counted a few.

Zi Baifeng took a sip of the gruel handed over by his husband, then pursed his lips, savoring the gruel in his mouth, the master's craftsmanship is awesome, even if he is not a gentleman, he might be able to support his family by opening a porridge shop make a living...

After finishing the porridge, Zi Baifeng's body was warm, and his heart was also warm.There are many things that he can't complain to his father, and he can't ask others for advice, but the husband is different. It seems that the husband just needs to listen silently.

The current teacher is not like the stern teacher in class at all, but like a reliable elder who listens to Zi Baifeng's complaints.

"This unreasonable son is simply making trouble for no reason, why should he accept our jade!" Zi Bai hummed authentically.

"If a cultivator needs jade, nine times out of ten it is to rest the spirit-gathering array on the mountain." The gentleman explained calmly.

"Sir, how do you know?" Zi Baifeng suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Mr.

"It's not a secret. It's just that the ascetics have gradually declined over the years. Most of them have closed their doors and devoted themselves to hard work. Few of them travel outside. The lives of the people are getting worse and worse. They are all desperately trying to make a living and have no time to talk about these things. It’s a strange talk, so most young people nowadays don’t know much about it.”

"Is the spirit-gathering formation the kind of formation that gathers spiritual energy?" Zi Baifeng asked with wide-eyed eyes. The name is indeed very familiar. It turns out that this thing was not invented by a novelist.

"It does play this role." The gentleman smiled and said: "However, the aura is so thin now that it is difficult for even the spirit gathering formation to gather the thick aura before, so the effect of the spirit gathering formation is worrying." , The cost is getting higher and higher. The people of the bird and mouse view are still struggling, and they still refuse to face the reality, give up the illusory road of cultivating immortals, enter the world and cultivate their minds, and go through the last journey, why bother."

"Wow, sir, are you an expert?" Zi Baifeng's eyes widened immediately.

"Expert?" The gentleman shook his head with a smile, turned around and took out a book and handed it to Zi Baifeng, saying: "Here, take it and read it and you will understand."

"Biography of Immortals?" Zi Baifeng immediately felt helpless when he saw this name, but when he opened the page and saw that the first chapter was not Guangchengzi, but a general outline, he immediately became interested and read it with gusto.

But the gentleman said: "Didn't you come here to drink porridge this time, and then listen to my storytelling?"

"Of course not." It was really unconvincing to drink porridge, but Zi Baifeng still asked: "Sir, let me inquire, how are the students in our village doing in the exam?"

"Ha, you kid, you really look like a villager." The gentleman shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, they all did well in the exam."

"How many did you pass?" Zi Baifeng asked with his eyes wide open.

"You will know this when the rankings are released." The husband shook his head and pretended to be mysterious.

"It's still a few days before the list is released, let me know first!" Zi Baifeng became much more energetic after drinking the porridge, and began to act cute, "They all waited anxiously."

"I can't tell you now. If I tell you, you will definitely not be able to help but tell others, and it would be unfair to others just to tell you." Mr. shook his head and said, "So you should stop asking, just be obedient after drinking the porridge." Let's go back."

"Alright then..." Zi Baifeng was unhappy.

Before leaving, the husband asked Zi Baifeng to take away the things he brought when he came. He said that he didn't need anything at all to live alone.But the "Legend of the White Snake" written by Zi Baifeng has left a set.

When Zi Baifeng returned to Xiayan Village on his little donkey, it was already sunset, and before he reached the village, he heard a burst of noise.

"If you dare to say one more word, believe it or not, I will kick you to death!" This was the voice of Sigou.

"Sigou, you're bullying people again!" Zi Baifeng suddenly became unhappy.

"Master Xiucai!" Seeing Zi Baifeng coming back, the four dogs immediately came up to help Zi Baifeng hold Taxue, bowed and said, "You are back!"

"What's going on?" Zi Baifeng looked at Sigou and another villager, who still had a few footprints on his body. It seemed that Sigou not only said it, but also did it.

"Master Xiucai, it's not my four dogs who bully people this time. I have sworn to my grandpa that I will never bully people again." Four dogs said quickly, "It's this kid who has a stinky mouth to beat me!"

Hey, isn't the M-shaking attribute of the stinking mouth trick unique to me?Anyone else?

Zi Baifeng looked intently, but he was an unfamiliar villager, who was not too good or too bad in the village, so he was a little transparent.

There were still a few people around watching, all looking at Zi Baifeng with strange expressions.

"This bastard said that Master Xiucai offended the immortal in the city, and you will soon...will..."

The man shrank back, but still said stubbornly: "You have offended the immortal, and disaster is imminent. I advise everyone to stay away from you, so as not to be in bad luck. Is this wrong?"

Zi Baifeng was a little surprised that his eloquent argument spread to Xiayan Village so quickly?

And it also caused a riot in the villagers. Looking at the eyes of the surrounding villagers, they were obviously quite afraid of him.

Zi Baifeng sighed softly in his heart, not knowing what to say.

These villagers, whether they say they are ignorant, say they are snobbish, or say they are timid, Zi Baifeng only thinks they are a little pathetic.No wonder the book says that peasants are a kind of backward class, do they only know how to suffer?
As for myself, there may be various reasons for being so reckless, but in the final analysis, isn't it because of their injustice?

"Forget it, Sigou, come back with me." Zi Baifeng said.

"Four Dogs, don't go!" There was a loud shout, and Yan Laowu was standing at the stone tablet at the entrance of the village, looking at this side.

"Old man." Zi Baifeng yelled weakly, and the old man sipped it full of anger, more powerful than Fei Jianzi.

"Sigou, you did nothing wrong today. You beat me well. Beat me hard. Beat me to death. If you beat me to death, I'll be the one!" Old Yan walked over with big strides, looking at the villager who was about to shrink back. , snorted coldly: "Kneel down!"

The man looked around, trying to win some sympathy, but the others shrank back. These former allies were so unreliable, he could only weakly kneel down.

"I don't know what's good or bad, you don't even think about ungrateful things. Why did Master Xiucai offend the immortals? Isn't it for the villagers of our Xiayan Village? You don't touch your heart, who helped us to collect taxes last time in Xiayan Village Tax-free, it’s not been half a year yet! A wolf-hearted thing!" Yan Lao Wu kicked the man on the body, kicked the man to the ground, turned and said to Si Gou: "Si Gou, Hit me, hit me hard!"

"Okay!" The four dogs chuckled, Bai Sensen's teeth were exposed, like a wild beast looking at its prey.

"Four dogs, forget it." Zi Baifeng stopped him and said, "I've been walking for a day and I'm already tired. Come back with me. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Master Xiucai?" Sigou was very puzzled, this man offended Master Xiucai, why did he stop beating him like this?What a great opportunity, Sigou's hands and feet were already itchy.

"Let's go." Zi Baifeng lost his interest.

"Bai Feng, come to my place to eat tonight. When I went up the mountain today, I caught a pheasant, and it happened to be a tooth-making sacrifice."

"No need, my father has to worry too." Zi Baifeng shook his head, waved his hand to the old man, and pointed to the direction of home, and Sigou took Texue and took him there.

Looking at the back of Zi Baifeng riding on the donkey, Yan Lao Wu felt mixed feelings in his heart, he suddenly took two steps forward, and said: "If you have free time at night, I will go to you and I have something to discuss with you." .”

"Then I'll wait for the old man at home." Zi Baifeng waved his hand, the dusk had already fallen, and his back was already blurred.

"You bastard, get the hell out of here and go home. If you talk nonsense again, I will slap you in the face!" Yan Lao Wu reprimanded the villager who was kneeling on the ground again, turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back.

The villagers on the ground saw that everyone around them had left, so they stood up and staggered away——Yan Laowu's kick was really heavy.

Even so, the news has already spread in the village. Along the way, Zi Baifeng vaguely returned to the time when he had just returned to his hometown after passing the exam. Under the twilight, the village was very quiet. From behind the door, he quietly watched Zi Baifeng ride a donkey through the alley.
