Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 785

[Chapter 783 Li Zheng]

The night is deep.

Wisps of moonlight and starlight shine into the room through the windows.

Well, Fang La’s family didn’t have an oil lamp and couldn’t afford lamp oil.

At night, I usually take advantage of the moonlight or just sleep.

Aaron cooked some porridge with vegetables mixed with rice bran and ate it randomly, then lay on the bed and prepared to fall asleep.

After all, some minor injuries on the body also require a good rest in order to recover faster.

But suddenly, he sensed something, and he opened his eyes in the dark night, like two fine brown gems.

In front of Aaron, an illusory screen of light emerged:

[Get 2 Qi points and open the character template! ]

[Name: Fang La (Aaron)]

[Qi: 2]

[Skills: Divination (can be turned on), Alchemy (can be turned on), Beast Taming (not unlocked), Sword Control (not unlocked)… Throwing beans Chengbing (unlocked), Dragon and Elephant (unlocked), King Kong is indestructible (unlocked)… Connecting Two Worlds (unlocked)]

…

“Have you finally received my golden finger?”

Aaron asked at the corner of his mouth A hint of smile appeared: “Sure enough… Goldfinger may be late, but he will never be absent… Qi, what is it?”

His mind fell into the template, and he immediately got more information.

It turns out that the so-called Qi can also be seen as belief, luck, dragon energy, influence, incense, etc. By extension, it is power… To put it bluntly, it is the same thing, that is, how many people listen to you? many!

The more people who listen to you, the more resources and strength you will have, and the more courage you will have!

When everyone doesn’t listen to your orders, even if you hold the title of emperor, it’s just a joke!

“So, Qi number can also be regarded as a special influence!”

“When I can influence more people to listen to my orders, Qi number will also increase…”

Moreover, this influence also has different depths.

Shallow people may just listen to you and donate a little money to you.

And people who are deeply affected will be like fanatic believers, taking what you say as a golden rule, and they will even die for you!

The latter will obviously bring more Qi than the former!

“The so-called Qi points, if replaced by luck points, belief points, influence… there is not much difference.”

“And this kind of influence and belief will be very useful!”

“The main body has confirmed that this world is almost free of demons. The world has almost no demons, which means it can still tolerate the existence of extraordinary powers, but the laws are strict, and you need to find loopholes to sneak in power!”

“This loophole lies in the belief of intelligent creatures in this world!”

“The more people I can influence! , the more interference I can get…then the body can support me more, thereby unlocking more advanced skills in the template!”

“In other words, the more Qi points you get, the stronger skills you can get.”

“It’s time to unlock .

When I have the power of being indestructible like Vajra, the world will be at my mercy…”

“And the highest goal is to accumulate enough influence and energy to unlock the ‘Communication between Two Realms’, allowing the body to directly open a channel to descend, and completely control the world. ! “

It’s actually very simple to understand. With enough influence, you can get more spirituality.

And more spirituality can form more powerful spells in the template!

Yes…

although it looks like the spells are very Taoist.

But in fact…their essence is still simulated by spirituality.

It can be said that the ontology is tailor-made for this world!

…

With a little curiosity, Aaron first used the ‘Divination Technique’.

“Divining tomorrow’s fortune!”

After he silently made the decision, Aaron saw a little bit of Qi disappear quickly.

Then, a realization emerged in his mind – ‘Xiaoji’!

“Isn’t this just Yao’s divination? Or a shrunken version… There are only five types of fortune divination: big bad luck, small bad luck, medium peace, small good luck, and big good luck. It is not open to find people and things at the moment… It feels like a useless thing. “

Although he knew there would be good luck tomorrow, Aaron was still confused as to where the good luck would come from.

He thought for a while and looked at the alchemy technique again.

Alchemy requires a carrier, whether it is talisman paper, incense ash, steamed buns, porridge, fresh fruits, or wax-sealed pills.

Aaron rummaged through and found half a cold steamed bun.

“Alchemy!”

He muttered, spending a little more energy.

In an instant, he only felt a faint “red” spirit descending from the void, blending with Leng Mantou.

The steamed buns are still the same as before, not much different.

Aaron thought for a while, stuffed the steamed bun into his stomach, and suddenly felt a surge of heat.

Some injuries on the body that have not had time to be repaired today are getting better and healed quickly…

“So, the so-called ‘alchemy’ is some kind of application of the spirituality of ‘red’?… It is used to stop bleeding, build muscle, and recover from injuries. , which is excellent… In addition, if you use the spiritual power of ‘Tower’, it can make people’s ears and eyesight sharp, and their mind is extraordinary…”

Aaron thought about it and felt that ‘Chi’ has a brighter future.

After all, how did the demons in past lives make a fortune and deceive dignitaries and even emperors?

Then you have to get male gifts such as red pills, golden guns, and secret elixirs!

In this regard, the spirituality of ‘red’ is still very advantageous.

Purely natural, pollution-free, no toxic side effects… the effect is better than the little blue pill!

If you can refine it in large quantities, you will be able to make a lot of money and gain both fame and fortune!

“Wait a minute… I traveled through this world to be a charlatan selling aphrodisiacs?”

Aaron came to his senses and almost slapped himself.

No future!

Immediately, he began to seriously consider how to obtain Qi.

“The speed of preaching is too slow. At the beginning, I was the only one who failed… Then, take the imperial examination and mix into the civil service?”

As long as you mix into the Dasong system, you will definitely be able to influence more people, and you will have a lot of energy to harvest. !

But it’s still the same sentence, it’s better to wait and see!

If you want to pass the first-level examination for children, you have to wait for one or two years just to wait for the exam. It is too slow, and corvee and other things are already imminent!

“If you want to expand your influence… wouldn’t it be most convenient to pretend to be a ghost?”

Finally, looking at the plan he had drawn up, Aaron was speechless and fell into deep thought.

…

the next day.

It was just dawn.

Aaron walked out of his shabby house, found a willow branch, and bit out the fibers to clean his teeth.

Not long after, a figure flashed outside the door.

“Who?”

Aaron, who was regretting that there was no green salt to use, raised his head and saw someone, it turned out to be Tuesday Cow!

“Brother Fang La…”

Tuesday Niu raised the hare meat on a string in his hand: “My wife heard that you fell down yesterday, so they asked me to bring some rabbit meat to replenish your health…”

“Thank you.”

Aaron quickly thanked and saluted, and took the rabbit meat from Tuesday Niu’s hand.

At the same time, something moved in my heart: “Is this person given the two inexplicable Qi points yesterday, 80%?”

At this time, he called out the panel again, and he couldn’t help but feel happy again.

I saw that two points of Qi were replenished.

‘It turns out that… as long as they are still under my influence, they will continue to provide qi points every day…’

‘That’s good… otherwise the high-level skills that follow will easily require dozens or millions of qi points to unlock. I’m afraid it will Crazy… you may not be able to accumulate enough until you grow old and die. Aaron

accepted the hare meat and secretly said that today’s two meals were settled.

However, the plan he made yesterday was more than just that.

Aaron thought for a while and then smiled and said: “Brother Erniu, this is a rare gift. I also want to thank my sister-in-law. I should go to your house to say thank you together…”

Tuesday Niu touched his head and had only one thought in his mind: ‘This Brother La is indeed different from before…’

Fang La before was a taciturn, timid and fearful young man.

Where can I find such elegant and generous manners?

He suddenly became more convinced that Fang La had encountered ghosts and spirits in the mountains. I am afraid that he not only saved his life, he might also have been ‘enlightened’!

With a little thought, Niu brought Aaron to his home on Tuesday, which was a shack not much better than Fang La’s home, and greeted each other.

After thanking him for the rabbit meat, Aaron looked at Zhou’s face and let out a light sigh.

“Brother Fang La, what’s wrong?”

Tuesday Niu’s expression changed. After all, this was a figure inspired by ghosts and gods.

“My sister-in-law has been working hard these days, so she must not be feeling well, right?”

Aaron pondered for a while, and when he saw a few villagers who were doing good things around him, especially a talkative woman from the village, he immediately made up his mind and asked loudly road.

“Yeah, it’s all old problems.”

Zhou coughed and replied nonchalantly.

Isn’t that what poor people’s livelihood is like?

Every day before dawn, I have to get up and light a fire. The smoke is burning. If things go on like this, there will definitely be problems with the lungs.

Moreover, Aaron also knew that on Tuesday, not only the men of the Niu family were working on the farm, but the women were also weaving day and night. Even so, they could only barely make ends meet, and over time, lumbar muscle strain was inevitable.

It’s just that they are all poor people and can’t afford to see a doctor, so they can only suffer.

Whenever you can’t get through it, your life will pass…

“I have learned some medical skills. If my sister-in-law doesn’t mind, you can show me!” Aaron said deliberately.

After all, can Fang La learn incredible medical skills?

“Fang La, you kid, don’t talk nonsense. Do you know any shit about medical skills?” One person said with a smile.

Country women are the most gossipy, and everyone lives close to each other, so they know everything.

Only Tuesday Ox’s expression changed.

This Fang La…couldn’t it be?

He suddenly said loudly: “Brother Fang La, I believe in you, please show my wife… If it can be cured, no, if it can be slightly improved, I will be grateful!” As soon as he

said this, those who were watching The women were all surprised.

This Tuesday Ox, when did he change his temper?

But Aaron nodded and asked Zhou Zui Niu for the yellow paper. He pretended to recite a few spells, then lit it with a fire stick, sprinkled the paper ashes into a bowl of water, brought it to Mrs. Zhou, and said with a smile: “Sister-in-law If you believe me, just drink this…”

A tongue-tied woman around her widened her eyes: “This… this is not a herbal medicine, could this be… talisman water?”

After saying that, he felt that he had made a mistake and covered his mouth. , but his eyes were as big as copper bells.

Zhou looked at Fu Shui, hesitated for a moment, and then drank it.

Looking at Mrs. Zhou who was drinking water, Aaron sighed in his heart: ‘Sure enough, I am still not prepared. Next time I need to prepare white phosphorus powder to show you what spontaneous combustion of a talisman is… That is shocking! ‘

As early as when he was burning the ashes, he secretly used the ‘Alchemy Technique’ to transform a trace of ‘red’ spirituality into the talisman water.

This bowl of talisman water is a real supernatural power, the real thing!

‘Some body injuries must be cured by medicine… Of course, if it is a bacterial infection or the like, it cannot be cured, but it can stimulate excitement for a period of time, and the effect is immediate. ‘

These days, no medical clinic can guarantee a 100% cure for people.

Even if the poor are put to death, most of them can only accept their fate!

In comparison, Aaron felt that his ‘Fu Shui’ was simply a dimensionality reduction blow!

Sure enough, not long after Zhou drank the water, she suddenly felt that her lungs were much clearer, and the usual blockage in her throat disappeared. Her whole body felt rare and refreshing, and she couldn’t help but stretch out comfortably.

“Brother Fang La… No, Brother Fang, your medicine is really amazing!”

How is his wife’s condition? Not sure about the cow on Tuesday?

Seeing this scene, I was immediately overjoyed.

“Why does Ms. Zhou seem to be so much younger?”

A woman onlookers saw Ms. Zhou’s glorious face and touched her own yellow face. She couldn’t help but be filled with envy and jealousy.

‘How come this boy from the Fang family can do it all of a sudden? ’

‘I’ve never seen him have such medical skills before? ‘

‘That… just now was clearly not medicine, but talisman water, right? ‘

Onlookers, you look at me, I look at you, there seems to be an undercurrent.

“Dear fellow villagers, you have always helped me a lot. I, Fang La, luckily learned… medical skills from the mountains. If you are sick, you can come to me and I will try my best to treat you!”

Seeing that the performance was almost done, Aaron said to him The four groups gathered together and bowed, and then Shi Shiran left.

As soon as he left, several long-tongued women immediately grabbed Zhou Niu: “This Fang La… what’s going on?”

“I’m telling you… you can’t tell others about this…”

Zhou Niu talked about it with excitement. What I saw yesterday.

The reason why Aaron pretended to be confused and tried to hide it was because he knew that the fastest spreading thing in the world was rumors!

And the more he tried to cover it up, the more curious people became and even more convinced he became!

Soon, news spread in the small mountain village that Fang La fell off a cliff and survived, and was taught talismans by an immortal…

In a blue brick house. Fan

Tong, Li Zheng, was drinking a small drink when he suddenly saw his mother-in-law coming in with a look of fear on her face. He couldn’t help but wonder: “What happened?”

“There are rumors outside that… the boy from the Fang family went there.” I met an immortal in the mountains…” His mother-in-law said with a sad look on her face: “We deliberately put him on the corvee list before, wasn’t it bad?”

In fact, according to Dasong law, people like Fang La may not have to serve in corvée. .

But the word “official” has two different meanings. Although Li Zheng is not an official, he is also in charge of the taxation and corvee for a hundred households in a village, and he is considered a village chief.

In addition, the literacy rate at this time was so low that it was natural to apportion it casually.

The reason why Fan Tong asked Fang La to do corvee work was because he liked the few acres of land owned by the Fang family!

After all, Fang La is alone and has no relatives to help him. Although he is not completely homeless, he is still easier to bully!

Fan Tong’s face suddenly darkened and he put down his wine glass: “You believe this nonsense? What’s more…”

He lowered his voice and looked at his two sons playing in the courtyard: “Yunwen and Yunwu They are about to grow up. As a father, I am not allowed to buy a family property for them. And the girl’s dowry… Now an acre of good land is worth five taels of silver.”

As soon as she mentioned the land, Fan Tong’s mother-in-law immediately stopped talking. Speaking of which, this is the lifeblood of farmers.

Moreover, the Fan family has just started their business and does not have much land, so they need to work hard to save.

She hesitated for a moment: “What do you mean, do you want to be more relaxed? As long as Fangla sells his land, let’s show our kindness…”

“Why?” Fan Tongzi took a sip of wine and burped happily: ” He keeps the Tian Gen, we only want the skin of the field… In this way, he will still have to carry the government taxes and corvee services in the future, and the Fang family will have to be my tenant for generations to come…”

Tian Gen, that is, It is the ownership of land, while the skin is the right to use it.

If the ownership remains unchanged, then the government will naturally have no choice but to collect taxes from the owner. This is also a transaction method that can easily drive farmers into bankruptcy.

This is Fan Tong’s wishful thinking. He wants land income but does not want to take any responsibility…

This is the poison of petty officials.
