Chapter 174 Take the Initiative to Understand that Yongzhou Is Plagued by Both Human and Demonic Disasters

Wu Sheng took a sip of wine and said, "You don't know, the Yunlu County where we are located is not at peace. Looking around, there are either demons appearing or Huangtian Sect rebellion. Yongzhou, the county town, is the most stable."

Yunlu County?

Shen Qing also knew a thing or two about the administrative areas of Dazhou.

The world of the Great Zhou Dynasty was divided into nine counties, and each county had several cities under its rule.

Yunlu County is one of the nine counties. It has eight cities and a population of 20 million. It is a large county.

He did not expect that what happened in Taiping County was common in Yunlu County.

"Brother Shen, do you know what's most important in today's world? It's the word safety! People around here are flocking here to see the stability of Yongzhou. Now Yongzhou is overcrowded, and it's not easy to make a living."

"Many places in the shantytowns in the outer city have experienced food shortages, and people have begun to starve to death."

"If that's the case, that's it. The trouble is, there are too many people in Yongzhou, and the surrounding monsters have also smelled it, and have secretly reached Yongzhou. Some of them are very powerful. If they continue like this, I think Ah, I’m afraid Yongzhou will also be in chaos.”

"That's why I said it's not a good time for Brother Shen to come to Yongzhou at this time."

"..." Shen Qing was speechless. He didn't expect that Yongzhou, which had come all the way here, would be in such a situation.

He asked: "I heard that there are many powerful people in Yongzhou. Even if demons appear in Yongzhou, they may not be able to hide from their eyes. They can't make waves, right?"

Wu Sheng, who had already taken a few sips of wine, appeared slightly tipsy and started talking more.

Seeing that Shen Qing was attracted by what he revealed and unconsciously wanted to continue listening to him, he suddenly became interested.

Anyway, they are all well-known content.

"You are right." He took another sip of wine to moisten his throat and said: "The geographical location of the county is too important, and the court still attaches great importance to it. Just five or six innate martial arts masters were sent here. Not to mention, there are still many people in Yongzhou. There are thirteen high-ranking families, and experts gather here. If the situation becomes uncontrollable, big figures from the Lingxu Realm and Yuanshen Realm may be sent later.”

"But...what's the use?"

Shen Qing frowned.

It stands to reason that having someone with a high level of cultivation in charge will always be of some use. How could it be useless?

But when he thought about the way officials in the Zhou Dynasty did things, he suddenly felt a little unsure.

Wu Sheng continued: "No matter how powerful these big shots are, they are protecting the Ji family's country and the safety of the big shots. Those monsters that appear appear and disappear, and their whereabouts are unpredictable. How can these big shots have time to follow these monsters every day? Run away, it’s not the low-level officials who do the work in the end.”

"So, little brother Shen, tell me, how can we kill this monster? Can we not make trouble?"

Shen Qing deeply agreed, nodded and said: "This is indeed the truth."

"So, Yongzhou now is actually full of disasters, both human and monster. Judging from the current situation, it will indeed be a bit difficult for Brother Shen to go now."

"Thank you Brother Wu for your advice. Now that the matter has come to this point, we can only take one step at a time. There is no other way." Shen Qing said with his hands clasped in his fists.

"Guidelines don't count, they are all well-known things in Yongzhou." Wu Sheng picked up the wine bag and took a sip of wine and asked: "Brother Shen, I see that your whole body is full of energy and blood. Have you practiced?"

"I have practiced some boxing and kicking." Shen Qing replied calmly.

There is nothing to hide from what the other party has already seen.

The important thing about martial arts is its use, and it will not become ineffective just because it is exposed.

"Have you condensed the sea of ​​qi?"

Shen Qing frowned, feeling that Wu Sheng had asked too much: "No."

Wu Sheng patted Shen Qing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, don't be offended. I happen to have some methods that can help people break through the Qi Sea Realm. I usually make some money with this, so I didn't ask too much. Down."

"Do you have a way to break through the Qi Sea Realm?"

"Yes, but the fee will be very expensive." Wu Sheng continued: "Brother Shen knows that the Zhou Dynasty's military control, wishing power beads, and bead refining methods are all in the hands of the court, but there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. ”

"Many officials want three wives and four concubines, beautiful houses and mansions, but their salary is very limited, so we have this opportunity."

Shen Qing's heart moved, and he became interested in this path. He continued to ask, "I wonder what the explanation is?"

Wu Sheng came forward and lowered his voice and said: "Brother Shen, you know this is a matter of beheading, so the price will be a little high. Generally speaking, a wish is five hundred taels, and the bead refining method is One thousand five hundred taels at a time.”

"hiss……"

Shen Qing took a breath of cold air.

It was a bit more expensive than he imagined.

"I can't help it. It's hard to get the Wish Power Pearl. The average official only gets one per year. Officials with higher rankings can get more, but they all have good friends with their bosses, and the people below can't interfere."

After hearing this, Shen Qing remained silent.

If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have a wish power bead in his hand, which he took out from the Taiping County Magistrate.

He didn't expect it to be so valuable.

Five hundred taels is enough to buy a big house in Taiping County.

Shen Qing unconsciously wanted to touch the appointment document, and suddenly felt that the weight of this document was as heavy as a ton.

According to Wu Sheng's calculation, if he only wanted to join the court, he would at least save nearly two thousand taels of money.

"Brother Shen, how are you? Do you have any ideas?"

Shen Qing put aside her thoughts and said with a very frank expression: "I have no money."

"..." Wu Sheng's expression was startled.

After a moment, he came back to his senses and said: "Brother Shen is really...real. It doesn't matter, there will always be money in the future if you don't have money now. I think brother Shen is a capable person."

"Thank you for your good words from Brother Wu."

Wu Sheng sighed and said: "Now for some reason, this demon is killing more and more people. There are even rumors among the people that this is the current saint, and the Ji family did it intentionally. We don't care whether this rumor is true or false, one thing is certain, this new demon is The things that appear will coexist with us humans in the next period of time.”

"You know, demons like to eat people. If we don't want to become their food, we can only work hard to improve our cultivation strength."

Shen Qing's face suddenly became serious.

"Okay, I'll let you hear so much nonsense from me all at once, so I won't torture your ears. Anyway, there's still more than a day's journey ahead, so we'll talk then. I'm going to rest first."

Wu Sheng said as he straightened up with the wine bag and returned to his team.

He looked at Shen Qing who was thoughtful, with a satisfied expression on his face.

He could see that Shen Qing's body was full of energy and blood, and he had a faint sharp aura. He should be a martial artist in the Qi-nurturing realm.

It seems that what he said just now must have touched his soul.

This business should be successful in the future, if he has money.

Thinking of this, he felt somewhat satisfied, leaned against the hay, and lay down to rest.
