Chapter 15 The Teenager's Task
The Jin family that dominated the area disappeared.
When the earliest Jin family came to Baile Town, it took more than 50 years to establish a family, but it took less than half an hour to be wiped out.
What makes Tang Jie sigh is that they actually died not because of doing evil, but because they offended the cultivator, not even offending the cultivator, but just offended a servant of the cultivator.
Therefore, sin is not the root cause of their demise, it is those who offend those who should not be offended.
"So in this world, lack of strength is the original sin." Standing in front of the gate of the Jin Mansion, Tang Jie couldn't help but muttered to himself. Although he had this kind of comprehension a long time ago, it has never penetrated into his bone marrow like it is now.
Xi Canhen didn't understand Tang Jie's meaning, and his current mood was also on his younger sister. He was obviously relieved when he asked that the youngest of the Jin family would not have time to win over his younger sister.
The demise of the Jin family must have attracted people from the government, but after seeing that it was the work of the cultivators, especially the cultivators of the Xiyue Sect, they swiped a pen and came up with a "Verified, Jubao" The Zhenjin family colluded with horse thieves, plundered trade routes, and slaughtered innocent people. It was confirmed that it was correct, and it was the Lord Xiyue Shangxian Tang Jie who acted.
This is also a common method used by the government. After ignoring the obvious truth and looking at its essence, at least it can be pointed out when and by whom the Jin family was destroyed. It is also convenient for anyone who wants to investigate this case in the future to find clues.
The cultivators also know this, but they don't have to be arrested, and they can't even remember it.
Tang Jie was not very satisfied with this - it had nothing to do with the records, he felt that the government's work efficiency was too fast. It didn't take half a day in total from exterminating the door to recording it.
Finally, the pavilion manager in charge of the town knew something, and asked Tang Jie after finishing the records: "The Jin family still has a lot of property in the town. Look at the masters of these properties..."
Tang Jie said coldly: "Leave all the records to me."
This means that he will receive it all.
"I understand." The pavilion chief hurriedly replied flatteringly.
Tang Jie said again: "Remember to check all accounts clearly one by one."
The head of the pavilion had a bitter face when he heard this: "The members of the Jin family are all dead. Without them, it may not be easy to sort out all the accounts, and it will take a lot of time."
"Then take a little longer and take your time,
I will wait for you. "Tang Jie said leisurely.
The head of the pavilion had no choice but to agree, thinking that this kid must be an abacus, lest others cheat his money, so he has to pay close attention to the account after receiving other people's property, probably even the usury put by the Jin family will come to the door and take it back himself. Such a person can also cultivate immortality, and even if he succeeds in cultivation in the future, he will most likely become an iron rooster immortal. Thinking of a big iron rooster flying in the sky, the head of the pavilion laughed secretly in his heart, and suddenly remembered the legend that the immortal has the ability to read the mind, if he is so slanderous, if the immortal finds out, it must be bad, secretly Read it a few times to be reckless, and don't dare to have extra thoughts, so go and do things well.
After dealing with the affairs of the Jin family, Tang Jie called Xi Canhen brother and sister. Under the guidance of her elder brother, the little girl saluted Tang Jie: "Xi Shangyue met Mr. Tang, thank you Mr. Tang for saving your life."
The voice is delicate, and it is very pleasant to hear.
"Remnant, Shangyue, the names of your brothers and sisters are quite interesting. Your parents should also be scholars." Hearing this name, Tang Jie laughed.
The little girl blushed, she lowered her head and stopped talking, but she had a calm personality.
Tang Jie had already asked Xi Canhen: "Your sister has been rescued, what are you going to do in the future?"
Xi Canhen replied: "The young master saved my sister, and from now on Canhen will swear to follow the young master to the death, and he will never change his will!"
As he said that, he pulled his sister and knelt down together.
Tang Jie didn't persuade him to get up, but just looked at the sky and said leisurely: "Swear to follow, never change? Some things are always easy to say, but hard to do."
Xi Remnant was stunned, and said: "Remnant's heart can be learned from the sky, and I will never dare to deceive the slightest!"
"Is that so..." Tang Jie lowered his head to think for a moment, and finally said: "Then I want to ask you to do something, you can do it well? Let me remind you first, the risk of this matter is not small, and it may be life-threatening! "
Xi Canhen said without hesitation: "Young master, if you have anything to do, just tell me, Xi Canhen will die without regret, just beg...just beg..."
He looked at Xi Shangyue beside him, gritted his teeth and said, "I just hope that if I die, the young master can help me take good care of my sister."
"Brother!" Xi Shangyue nervously grabbed her brother's hand.
Xi Remnant smiled at his sister and said, "Shangyue, the lives of you and my brother and sister were saved by the young master. Don't say that the young master has a task for me to do, even if I directly take my life, I can't do it." Two words. My father said before he was alive that in life, you should trust and promise, and you will be a real hero and a good man. Although I, Xi Cunhen, am not a man, I am still a man, and I will not be an ungrateful person."
As he spoke, he pushed his sister away from grabbing his hand, and looked at Tang Jie firmly.
Tang Jie nodded in agreement and said: "Don't worry about this, if you really die unfortunately, I will definitely take good care of your sister for you, teach her the magic method, and keep her safe for life."
Xi Remnant heaved a sigh of relief: "Young Master, please give me instructions!"
Only then did Tang Jie say a few words to Xi Remnant.
Hearing Tang Jie's order, the expression on Xi Canhen's face was obviously dull: "It's that simple?"
"Yes, after finishing this matter, you can go directly to the Canglong Mansion. As long as you can get there alive, you can officially become a member of the Wei family. By the way, there is also your sister. I will ask my wife to give each of you brothers and sisters a The number of places in the Moonwashing Academy."
Xi Canhen looked solemn, and said loudly: "Canhen will definitely live up to his expectations and fulfill the young master's entrustment!"
Tang Jie waved his hand, and Xiaohu, who was dozing not far away, was called over by him, and then Tang Jie stuffed a beast card into Xi Canhen's hand: "I will let Xiaohu protect you, although this little guy is not wise, he is wise." It’s not low, and can understand a lot of words. It doesn’t like to be locked in a beast card, so as long as it’s not in front of people or when fighting, you should try to release it to get some air. Before you release it, you must prepare for it. A big pot of fresh meat. Oh, speaking of which..."
Tang Jie grabbed another handful of spiritual money and handed it to Xi Canhen: "These are considered expenses on the road."
Xi Remnant took them one by one, seeing the big tiger that could swallow two of him in one gulp, he was already pleasantly surprised.
This tiger just followed him like this?
Would you eat yourself if you saw something unpleasant in the middle of the road?
Xiaohu was also looking curiously at Xi Remnant, and the sign in his hand - it understood the meaning of the sign very well, and he would listen to whoever had the sign.
Tang Jie and Yi Yi used to call it in turn like this before, and it was used to it, but why did it change to such a brat today? It doesn't look like much. Thinking to himself, he yawned lazily.
Tang Jie instructed: "Try not to let others discover the existence of Xiaohu, which will make you much safer. In addition, Xiaohu can fly, but to go to Canglong Mansion, you have to go by yourself. Remember, although I can let it protect you , but because it is not familiar with you, with this guy's lazy temperament, he probably won't do his best for you. As for how much he can fight for you, it depends on how well you get along with him these days If you have the chance, get along with it more. But the time is short, no matter how you get along, I believe it will not die for you. Personally, I don’t want to lose Xiaohu because of you. So if you meet If you see an existence that it can't deal with, you must be mentally prepared to be abandoned."
Xi Remnant said solemnly: "Don't worry, young master, I understand."
After thinking about it, Tang Jie took out a few more bottles of medicine and two talisman papers and handed them to Xi Canhen, and then pointed at the center of Xi Canhen's eyebrows. It is one more memory.
Tang Jie said: "The medicine is for healing. Actually, it's not for you, but for Xiaohu. The talisman paper is a few pieces I used to practice and draw when I was free. My ability to draw talismans is very bad. One hundred pieces of talisman paper ended up being five pieces, what a pity. The two pieces given to you are the vitality needle and the purple electricity jumping method, which are rarely used by your current physique, and the other ones are too powerful. If you use it, you will only drain yourself. In addition, I have taught you the twelve vertical sword moves. This is the only thing you can learn now. Go to the town and buy a sword for self-defense. In the end, it is me We will try our best to lighten your burden here. Although I let you go to danger, I don’t want you to go to death after all. This matter is half a task and half a test. With your intelligence, I believe you can succeed. waiting for your good news."
Xi Remnant took the things, bowed to Tang Jie and said, "Please rest assured, young master, Remnant will definitely arrive at Canglong Mansion alive!"
"En." Only then did Tang Jie get up satisfied: "Since that's the case, you brothers and sisters can go."
"Yes." The brothers and sisters bid farewell to Tang Jie together.
—————————
The massacre of the Jin family caused a disturbance in the local area. Everyone knew that the Jin family had offended someone they shouldn't have offended, and the whole family was wiped out. However, although the storm was strong, it did not affect Tang Jie in the slightest.
What's so rare about sending a large envoy to slaughter a small family? Don't say that Jin's family is an evil town, even if they have done a thousand miles of good deeds, if they are really going to be slaughtered, they will be slaughtered.
This is class, it is privilege!
As long as Tang Jie didn't get so mad that he wiped out one family after another, no one would bother him.
The only surprise is that Tang Jie, who has completed the prospecting task, stayed because of this, and began to take over the Jin family's property in a grand manner.
This was relatively rare in the past. Usually, if a cultivator wiped out a certain household in a certain village, he usually only took gold, silver and goods, and had no interest in land, property, shops and the like. Unexpectedly, Tang Jie was so greedy that he even wanted land shops.
Since he wants to take it, it is not easy for others to grab it from him, so they can only let him torment.
With the excuse of calculating accounts, Tang Jie stayed in the area of Yongsui Mountain, and every day he either practiced behind closed doors or traveled around the mountains and rivers. He comes from a decent background, and he is usually modest and easy to attract people's favor. Therefore, in just a few days, most of the people from all walks of life on Shimen Peak have become his friends, and they get along very happily.
Tang Jie himself even took the opportunity to observe the Yumen Tiansuo Formation of the Shimen School wantonly.
This Yumen Tiansuo Formation is also a well-known large formation, even in Xu Muyang's True Explanation of Formation, there are only records, but there is no specific method of forming the formation, so Tang Jie wanted to take the opportunity to steal his master.
In fact, no matter what kind of knowledge, after all, you have to travel all over the world to learn more. Even the disciples from famous schools must travel all over the world to increase their knowledge.
Time slipped away like this, the turmoil caused by the Jin family incident gradually subsided, and the peace and tranquility of the past were restored in the Yongsui Mountain area.
In Jubao Town today, people were still doing their own things as usual.
People who are exposed to the sun at noon are lazy and do not want to move more easily. In the Jianbaozhai in the east of the town, a shop assistant is listlessly guarding the shop, his eyes are fixed on the outside, and his mind is early. I don't know where to fly.
A man dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat, who didn't meet, appeared at the door of Jianbaozhai, and said, "Man, can we accept treasures here?"
Hearing the voice, he was clearly still a teenager.
The guy raised his head and glanced at the young man, and said with a sneer, "Didn't you see the words on the plaque? Jianbaozhai doesn't accept treasures, where can they accept them? Piano, chess, calligraphy, paintings, antiques, treasures of immortals, magical instruments, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as long as it is you Yes, they can be learned from here, and they can be collected. But don’t take out those scraps of copper and iron to fool people, so as not to waste time.”
Although these words are loud, they are not bragging at all, because Jianbaozhai is the property of Shimen sect.
All sects of cultivating immortals basically have their own treasure appraising shops in their respective regions. The existence of these appraising shops is mainly to find those treasures that may be missed from the people. There are often fights among the immortal families. They are allowed to fly to the sky and escape from the earth when they are alive, and they are omnipotent. Once they die, they will return to the earth. They can return to heaven and earth, but those treasures they once owned cannot.
Although most of these treasures may be taken away, there are always some treasures that cannot be recovered due to various reasons or accidents, especially those treasures that have been smashed, which have lost their value in the various sects, at least not worth the trouble Look for it, but for some small sects, even the magic weapon fragments are made of rare materials, worth collecting and refining.
That's what treasure-appreciating shops all over the world do. They may not receive a good item in ten years, but as long as they receive one, it's worth all the effort.
Of course, in addition to this, the Jianbao shop itself also operates some businesses such as antiques and famous paintings, which can add some money and not keep the people in the shop too idle. If you really only keep the magic weapon of the fairy family, the guys may not receive a single sale in ten years.
Because of this, shops like Jianbaozhai are also a direct representative of the strength of the sect. Most of the local sects can only open Jianbao shops on their own one-third of an acre of land. Only the Xiyue Zhai of the Xiyue Sect can bloom everywhere in Wenxin, and it can be opened wherever it wants, even the other five countries. Can open a few.
This Jubao Town doesn't have a Yuezhai, but it's not because the Xiyue Zhai cannot be opened, but because people don't like this place at all.
Even so, as a shopkeeper for the Xian family, this shop assistant is already an extremely arrogant existence in the town.
So looking at the black-clothed boy at this moment, he was talking with his nostrils upturned.
If it were someone else, he wouldn’t care if he heard what the clerk said, but the boy in black was a little annoyed by the clerk’s words, and shouted: “You are so rude, you have never even seen it. My baby, why are you calling it broken copper? I am a real baby, and I'm afraid you won't be able to take it away. "
The store clerk sneered: "It's a joke, my Jianbaozhai will still have treasures that I can't afford?"
The young man turned his head and said: "That's hard to say, who doesn't know what kind of people you are in this shop, the price of the baby is up to you, and if you really come across something that is valuable, you will often say it is worthless, and lower the price There is no way to force it.”
The store clerk was furious when he heard this: "You are so rude, you even made a false accusation out of thin air, and you still don't get out."
Seeing this, the young man shouted: "I'm here for business, why do you let me go? It's not up to you to make the decision here, I ask you to come here!"
The business didn't start, and the two had a big quarrel.
This quarrel attracted countless onlookers, pointing around the shop, the young man seemed to gain momentum, and his shouts became louder, even Ding Chaofeng from the shop was drawn out, dissatisfied: "What's the matter? noisily?"
This Ding Chaofeng was specially invited by the Shimen sect to hold eyes for the shop. Although he is a mortal, he has stayed in the shops of some great sects and seen many magic tools and treasures, so he has a good eye. No matter how strange treasures are, it is difficult to hide them from his eyes. Over the years, he has received several treasures for the Shimen sect, which are quite valued by the sect.
Seeing that it was Ding Chaofeng, the store clerk hurriedly said: "Mr. Ding, why did you come out? It's because this kid is rude and disturbed your cleaning."
The black-clothed boy dissatisfied: "It's obvious that you have no tongue, I came here to sell the treasure, but you said that what I took was rotten copper."
The store clerk felt aggrieved, I didn't say that you took out scraps of copper and iron, I just said that those scraps of copper and iron should not be used to waste everyone's time.
Fortunately, Na Ding Chaofeng didn't care about it, he just smiled and said: "Is it a treasure, you always have to take it out to see."
The black-clothed boy straightened his neck and replied, "I won't sell it anymore. Remember, this is a big deal, and it was screwed up by your guys just like that."
When the crowd heard that the teenagers had been arguing for a long time, they couldn't sell it, and they couldn't help booing together.
Even Ding Chaofeng frowned, and said: "It's up to you whether you sell it or not, but since you've come here, there's no reason to leave without revealing the treasure."
"That's right, if you want to leave, you have to light up the baby before you go." A group of onlookers booed.
Seeing so many people forcing him to take out the treasure, the boy couldn't help but shrink back.
Ding Chaofeng said coldly: "Young man, I repeat again, the baby is yours, you don't have to sell it. But since this trouble has happened, you have to show the baby, otherwise you are deliberately playing with me, Jian Baozhai. "
This crime is serious, just based on Ding Chaofeng's words, the government servants can come and arrest him immediately.
The young man had no choice but to say: "Since that's the case, I'll just show you, but I'll say it again, I won't sell it to you, I'm going to the Canglong Mansion to sell this crystallized clamworm!"
"What?" Hearing this, Ding Chaofeng was startled.
Seeing that the boy had taken out a black stone from his body, it was the crystallized clamworm.
