The mind... is the sea of knowledge.It is the place where the primordial spirits gather. It is not innate and cannot communicate with the sea of consciousness at all, so it should be dark under normal circumstances, but now Xu Chuan sees that in his sea of consciousness, there are hazy, gray-white air currents, of which there are three The light spots floated, the leftmost of the three light spots was red, the middle was silver-white, and the right was gold.
Three-color light spots, like three-color stars.
Xu Chuan understood that this was one of the "benefits" brought by the trial package, which directly opened up his sea of knowledge.
Xu Chuan tried to sense the red light spot on the far left. Suddenly, the red light spot extended and became a red "silk thread". The thread was half a foot long and flickered, like a strand of hair.
The moment the thread stretched, a message naturally appeared in Xu Chuan's heart: "The root of public opinion, minus 176, can improve the quality of the root bone. If it cannot be upgraded to positive within three years, the root of public opinion will disappear forever."
Xu Chuan was both delighted and surprised. He was delighted that the four characters in the message were to improve the quality of the root bones. He had no chance to practice. What is the biggest problem? Now, obviously, this root of public opinion is helpful for one's own cultivation, but what is surprising is that the root of public opinion is actually negative, and if it is not improved to a positive value in three years, it will disappear forever.
He turned his mind and looked at the silver-white light spot in the middle. The silver-white light spot also unfolded suddenly, turning into a silver-white silk thread, the same half-foot long, flickering and dim, and a message also emerged in his mind: "The prestige root, minus 190, can improve the understanding of Taoism. If it cannot be improved to positive within three years, the prestige root will disappear forever."
Xu Chuan said in his heart that he was a good guy, and it was all negative. It seemed that the public opinion and reputation he had gained from breaking Li Daniu's case just now was nothing but a sprinkle of water.
There is only one last spot of light left, a golden light spot.
Xu Chuan's mind was placed on the last golden light spot, and the golden light spot unfolded. This time, after the golden light formed by the golden light spot was extended, it extended almost three feet long, and the golden lines shimmered without the slightest flickering. Flickering signs.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chuan felt extraordinary in his heart, and sure enough:
"The root of luck, 1263 points of luck, can increase the chance and good fortune. If the root of luck is negative, the trial package will be withdrawn."
"1263?" Xu Chuan's eyes lit up, his luck turned out to be four digits, over a thousand?Then, after thinking about it, I realized that this luck is of course not accumulated in the past three years, but brought by transmigration.It was because of his merit that he got the opportunity to transcend and be reborn, and his luck was naturally not low. The trial gift bag also fell to him because of his luck.
"Understood." There was excitement in Xu Chuan's eyes. This was a welfare gift package, and it was a great gift package that was helpful to practice.
The three dots of light represent public opinion, prestige, and luck.
Among them, public opinion affects the basic qualifications, prestige affects the understanding and Taoism, and luck affects the chance of luck. The trial package is bound to the luck.
"Public opinion, what I should do most now is to raise public opinion." Xu Chuan decided instantly.
Originally, he didn't take public opinion seriously, but at this moment he felt the importance of public opinion, which affected his fundamental aptitude.The first step in cultivation is to refine Qi, and the qualifications of the root bones are the most important.
Opening his eyes, Xu Chuan looked at the room in front of him.He is still him, nothing has changed, but his heart has changed at this moment, the hope of cultivation is in front of him, how can he not grasp it well.
He was thinking.
"master."
A voice came from outside the door.Xu Chuan looked up and saw a woman wearing a blue and white robe walking in.
"Aunt Su." Xu Chuan smiled.
A hint appeared in my mind: "Su Qing, favorability is 100."
Seeing this prompt, the smile on Xu Chuan's face became even more intense. Su Qing was six years older than him. She was originally a little maid next to Xu Chuan's mother. At the beginning, Xu's mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to Xu Chuan.Just a child, Su Qing has been taking care of him, like a sister, more like an elder.
Because Su Qing and Xu's mother were called sisters at that time, Xu Chuan naturally called her Aunt Su. After taking care of her for so many years, she naturally had a deep affection.
Su Qing walked into the room and looked at Xu Chuan with a smile on her face: "Chuan'er, I heard that you were in the courtroom today to observe things clearly and preside over justice. Now it's spread in the yamen. Everyone is praising you."
Su Qing watched Xu Chuan grow up and became an official in Ancheng County, Dingjiang Prefecture. She was also worried that Xu Chuan would go astray and take a wrong path, but Xu Chuan's performance today made her happy and proud from the bottom of her heart.
Xu Chuan said with a smile: "This is what my county magistrate should do, there is nothing to praise."
It is indeed what he should do. To raise public opinion, there are several ways to uphold justice and improve people's livelihood. These are all methods.
Raising public opinion is his first step.
Xu Chuan's smile was probably because he was too excited, and there was a dull pain in his heart for a while. He subconsciously stretched out his palm and pressed it on his chest, and the smile on his face seemed a little pale.
Su Qing suddenly looked worried, and came forward and quickly stroked Xu Chuan's heart: "Is it hurt again? I heard that Dr. Luo in the south of the city is very skilled in medicine, why don't we go and invite him to see?"
"Doctor Luo?"
Xu Chuan had heard of this doctor, and he was indeed the master of Xinglin, but the other party had a lot of rules.
At this moment, someone came from outside the door and reported: "Master, there is a villager outside the mansion, asking to see the master."
"Cun Han? Chuan'er, this county is not big, but there are a lot of things." Su Qing frowned, feeling a little distressed about Xu Chuan's body, but she couldn't say that Xu Chuan was not allowed to handle official business.
"I'll see you right now." Xu Chuan got up and said with a lot of energy.
He walked out of the room, just in time to see two graceful figures walking down the corridor not far away. Although they looked like servants, they were dressed brightly and had a bit of beauty.
These two are the two maids given to him by Master Wang.
"I have seen the master." The two young girls gave Xu Chuan a gift.
Xu Chuan nodded slightly. On weekdays, these two girls were also very enthusiastic towards him.But then a prompt popped up in his mind: "Miss Moon Dance, minus 50 favorability, girl Jieyu, minus 60 favorability."
Yue Wu, Jie Yu, were the names of these two girls.
Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded calmly and turned away.
Wait until Xu Chuan leaves.The smiles on the faces of the two girls disappeared instantly.
"Why isn't this sick seedling dead yet?"
"Master Wang gave us to him to be his wife. It would be better for him to treat us as a servant girl." Yue Wu bit her teeth lightly, and there was a trace of resentment in her eyes.
The two of them, originally women of the red dust, were bought by the master bookkeeper Wang and given to Xu Chuan. At first, they hoped to be the wife of the county magistrate, but later they found out that there was a Su Qing by the county magistrate's side. With a woman's keen intuition, Xu Chuan and Su Qing have too deep a relationship. They know that the position of the county magistrate's wife is not easy to compete, so they should be concubines, but they didn't expect that Xu Chuan didn't even give them a chance to be a concubine.I wish Xu Chuan died sooner, and they would be free then.
Xu Chuan walked down the corridor and looked back at the two women. When the two women saw Xu Chuan looking back, they both burst into sweet smiles, which were extremely sincere and charming.
If it wasn't for the favorability hinted in Xu Chuan's mind that it was impossible to deceive him, he wouldn't believe it.
"Know the person, know the face, but don't know the heart." Xu Chuan shook his head, not caring.
Just two little girls.
Xu Chuan walked to the front of the mansion and saw that Li Ming had changed his clothes and was standing at the door holding a sack.
"Sir." When Li Ming saw Xu Chuan coming out, he immediately shouted excitedly with a smile on his face, and at the same time he was about to kneel down.
Xu Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop it: "This is not a court, you don't need to be too polite, are you?"
Li Ming could only get up, put the sack on the ground, and smiled honestly: "Sir, you saved the villain's life, and the villain is innocent, and the villain has nothing in return. These are melons and fruits grown in their own fields. Adults try it."
Xu Chuan felt a little warm in his heart. It had been three years, and this was the first time he had received a gift of thanks from the people.
Although it was just a sack of melons and fruits, Xu Chuan felt an indescribable fulfillment in his heart.
He smiled and said: "This official just did his duty, you can take this fruit back."
"Sir, try it, this fruit is so sweet." Li Ming said hurriedly, and he quickly opened the sack.
Xu Chuan had to postpone, but suddenly a scent of fragrance floated to the tip of his nose, Xu Chuan actually felt a lot more relaxed throughout his body, and even the dullness in his heart was much relieved.
"Ok?"
Xu Chuan couldn't help but look down, the fragrance was wafting out of the sack, and he saw that the sack was filled with spherical fruits the size of purple baby heads.
"This is, Yang Guo?"
Chapter 5 ancestors
Although Xu Chuan has not been able to cultivate in the past three years, he has actually read a lot of books on cultivation. Among them, there is a miscellaneous note about the spiritual fruit in the world, and it is recorded that Yang Guo said.
The yang fruit, shaped like a ball, is purple throughout, and has a strange aroma. Eating it can breed yang energy, and it has the effect of strengthening the body.However, the Yang fruit will only be born in the Yang soil.Yangtu is a magical soil where many cultivators refine magic weapons and cultivate spiritual materials. It is hard to find in the world.
"Let's see..." Xu Chuan couldn't help reaching out and took out a fruit from the sack. The fruit was quite heavy to start with, the whole body was cold, there were subtle veins on the skin, the whole body was purple, and there was a peculiar aroma wafting out, which made people unable to resist. Want to take a bite.
"It's definitely Yang Guo. I didn't expect that I would still be able to see the real Yang Guo." Xu Chuan couldn't help being a little excited. It's one thing to see it in the book, but it's another thing to actually see it.
The spiritual objects between heaven and earth have long been searched by those cultivators, and the imperial court has even listed some spiritual stone veins as forbidden objects.And he was born with a lack of heart, and his root bones were not good. He needed this kind of spiritual thing to strengthen his body the most.
"Sir, just accept it. Although this fruit is ordinary, it is the only intention that the villain can take." Li Ming continued.
Xu Chuan couldn't help looking at him. Seeing Li Ming's appearance, he obviously didn't lie. The latter really didn't know that this was still a spiritual fruit that could strengthen his body.
He pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I'll accept it, but I have something to ask you, let's go, let's go in and talk."
Xu Chuan held a Yang Guo in one hand, and took Li Ming's arm in the other, and was about to walk towards the house. At the same time, he instructed the two servants in front of the house to carry the sack inside, but the two servants pouted their buttocks and carried it for a long time. Reluctantly moving the sack, Xu Chuan couldn't help blushing a little for his subordinates, while Li Ming grinned, turned around, grabbed the mouth of the sack with one arm, and picked it up directly.
"What a lot of strength." The two servants, who were also quite strong, were full of admiration.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chuan remembered that Li Ming had to rush up to five or six yamen in the hall to hold him down. When he grabbed the village chief of the Li family, he hurried so fast that he threw him from the door of the yamen back to the hall. Truly a natural power.
"This Li Ming...isn't he an ordinary person?"
Xu Chuan murmured in his heart, but when he saw Li Ming walking up to him with a sack with a simple and honest smile, he didn't look like a hidden master.He could only press the doubts in his heart and bring him into the mansion.
Passing by Jie Yu, the two girls from Yue Wu saw that Xu Chuan came back with a villager. Although they kept a smile on their faces, they didn't even look at Li Ming.Li Ming has dark skin and looks quite handsome. Unfortunately, his identity is too low. When he saw the two girls, he only felt that his eyes were bright, but he thought that this was the residence of the county magistrate. Dare to see more, carry the sack and follow Xu Chuan forward.
Sitting in the hall, Xu Chuan looked at Li Ming, who was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but smile, and asked him to put down the sack in his hand and sit aside.
Xu Chuan held the fruit in his hand and asked, "Brother Li, what is the name of this fruit?"
Li Ming grinned and said, "I call it a melon. It tastes so sweet, but I can't eat more. If I eat one, I'll be full for three or five days. If I eat too much, my stomach will be bloated."
"Oh? Tell me about it carefully." Xu Chuan continued.
Seeing that the county magistrate was interested in this fruit, Li Ming thought that the county magistrate had never seen such a novelty and was curious, so he said it enthusiastically.
It turned out that there was a vine growing in his field, and the yang fruit was born from this vine. It only ripened once in two months, and only one fruit was produced at a time.
Hearing this, Xu Chuan glanced at the sack without a trace, and there were at least [-] or [-] fruits in the sack... That was the harvest of the past ten years.
"This fruit tastes good and is very filling. The villain wanted to have more varieties, but whether it is a fruit or a vine, it will not survive in other places. Only the vine can bear fruit all year round, even in winter. , Speaking of which, the small family's land is also good, other people's wheat grows slowly, but mine grows very fast." Li Ming said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xu Chuan already knew where the vines grew.It must be Yangtu. Looking at Li Ming's simple and honest appearance, Xu Chuan's heart moved slightly. Although Yangguo is precious, the value of Yangtu is not at all inferior to Yangguo.If you can find a way to get this Yangtuo and Yangguovine...
Just as the idea came to him, two options suddenly popped up in his mind: "One, conceal the origins of Li Ming Yangguo and Yangtu, and take them as his own, with a luck of -100."
"Second, inform Li Ming of the origin of Yangguo and the importance of Yangtu, and help Li Ming to keep this secret, and his luck will be +20."
Xu Chuan was suffocated.
Did something go wrong? !
He just had an idea and let him choose?
No, it's more of a warning than an option!If he owns the Yangguo vines and Yangtuo, he will have the treasure, but he will have to pay a painful price of reducing his luck by 100.On the contrary, be a good person, you won't get any treasures, and your luck will be increased by 20.
Oh, thought he would be afraid?
But anyone who can do business will choose one.
With 100 points of luck, in exchange for Yang fruit vines and Yang soil, value.
Of course Xu Chuan wasn't afraid, but he wasn't a businessman either.
So he decisively chose the second one, and the 20 points of luck given by Bai was still fragrant.
So Xu Chuan said:
"Brother Li, I'm going to tell you some basics about this fruit. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Then he told Li Ming all the miracles about Yang Guo, boosting Yang Qi, strengthening his body, and being one of the spiritual fruits. Once a cultivator discovers this Yang Guo, it will definitely be a disaster rather than a blessing. Yang soil, it is even more that cultivators will take action to snatch it.
Li Ming still had a simple and honest smile on his face at first. He thought that the county magistrate was going to tell him how to grow fruit, but the more he listened, the paler his face became. He didn't have the slightest joy in knowing that Yangguo was a spiritual fruit. Coveted his family's fields and framed him, what good would those cultivators find once they found Yang Guo?The more Li Ming thought about it, the more afraid he became. Mortals are weak, and in their bones they are afraid of the strong.As soon as Xu Chuan finished speaking, Li Ming hurriedly got up and said:
"My lord, what should I do?"
Seeing that he understands the relationship so well, Xu Chuan secretly thought that Li Ming is not stupid, but his personality is simple and honest, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, go, I will go with you and see that Yang. Soil, we just need to transplant the yang soil and the yang fruit to the secret place."
Said he had stood up.Li Ming looked at Xu Chuan's back, and was already grateful in his heart, and hurriedly followed.
When he came, Li Ming was walking. He was strong and his pace was flying, but Xu Chuan didn't have the strength. He greeted Li Ming to get on the car of the county magistrate, and rushed towards Lijia Village with a dozen or so officers. go.
"Look, that corrupt official's carriage."
"Why did the dog officer go outside the county seat?"
"Mother, didn't you say yesterday that the county magistrate opened his eyes and finally got the case right? Why do you still call him a dog officer?"
"That's a blind cat hitting a dead mouse. Son, you study hard, and you can become an official in the future," the woman said.
When the child heard it, he shook his head flatly: "No, I'm not an official, I want to be a cultivator, flying around in the sky."
"Don't dream," the woman yelled.
……
The voices outside the carriage came and went, and Xu Chuan could hear it clearly. He had long been used to this group of troublemakers... But when he thought of the negative one-hundred-seventh value of his own public opinion, his head hurt.
Li Ming, who was in the same carriage, heard the discussions outside, but he didn't like it. He used to think that Xu Chuan was a corrupt official and an evil official.
But after this incident, it has completely changed.Hearing the discussion outside, a trace of anger rose in his heart, but when he turned around, he saw Xu Chuan closing his eyes and resting, with a plain look, and he couldn't help but admire him even more.Although the county magistrate is a few years younger than himself, his boldness is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.
They went all the way to Lijia Village.The costumes of a group of officers were too ostentatious, which directly caused a sensation in Lijia Village. The officer was ordered by Xu Chuan, and he just said that the county magistrate came to the country to inspect, and there was no need to make a fuss.
But how can you not make a fuss, when did the county magistrate go to the countryside?
