I Can’t Be a Sword God

Qi Tiancheng.

One of the seven prefectures of Tiannan Prefecture, the most eastern prefecture city.

Some people say that this "Qi Tian" means "the Qi family is the sky", that is, the Qi family controls everything in this city.

Equal to Heaven City is huge and has a large population. But compared to the prosperity and prosperity of the cities in Jiangnan Prefecture, although this city built on the hillside is majestic, it lacks some bright colors and looks a little gray.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Tiannan Qijia. Tiannan Prefecture is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is rugged, so it is difficult to communicate with the outside world. No matter who is in power, it is certainly not comparable to Jiangnan, the land of fireworks and the land of fish and rice.

Boss Zhen's house is also here.

The wide main street of Qitian City was full of people, and the dust raised by the horses and horses was everywhere. Not far after entering the city, the first big house along the street was Boss Zhen's house.

"My lady...my lady! I'm back!"

Boss Zhen yelled as soon as he entered the door, and the doctor had already been arranged to live at home. As soon as Minghe Xincao was brought back, he hurriedly sent it to boil medicine.

Dulanke and Li Chu sat in the front hall, and the servants brought melon and fruit tea early. Tiannan's buildings don't pay attention to exquisite craftsmanship, but they are mainly big, especially Boss Zhen's house.

Looking at the countless large courtyards inside and out, Lao Du sighed sincerely: "Because there are only seven prefectural cities in Tiannan Prefecture that are considered big cities, so the housing prices here are not at all cheaper than those big cities in the Central Plains. Boss Zhen is here There's a mansion like this on Main Street, and it's really rich."

Li Chu also nodded: "My role model."

The master and the apprentice were looking around as if they had never seen the world. Boss Zhen watched the Minghexincao boil the medicine and gave it to his wife, and hurried out to say hello.

Hearing what the two said, he smiled and said, "Actually, we are all ordinary families, nothing special, at most the house is bigger."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand again and greeted the servants: "Go to the cashier and get a bank note of 30,000 taels, and ask for the ticket number of Jiangnan Prefecture."

"Hehe." Lao Du also smiled, thinking that your style of pie is too "ordinary".

He casually took out tens of thousands of taels of banknotes, he was simply ordinary and confident...

After chatting for a few words, a woman in plain clothes came out when she heard rings jingling behind her.

"Miss?" Boss Zhen looked back, and immediately got up to greet her, "You just woke up, why dare you move around rashly, go back and lie down."

"It's okay." The woman was dressed plainly and her illness was not cured, but her complexion had improved.

She said softly: "I just drank the medicine, and I feel no pain in my heart, and my strength has recovered. After lying on the bed for so many days, I should get down and walk."

Seeing that the two of them were deeply in love with each other, Li Chu and Du Lanke got up and said goodbye wisely.

"This cooperation is very pleasant. Next time something like this happens in your home, Boss Zhen can come to me directly. If you come more, you can get a discount." Li Chu promised.

"Congratulations, Boss Zhen, now that your wife is in good health, you don't have to think about hiring a few 28-year-old women who look like gods to replace her. I wish you two grow old together soon." Duranke also said.

Over there, Mrs. Zhen's eyes changed instantly.

Boss Zhen wanted to cry but had no choice but to bid farewell, saying: "You master and apprentice are really better at talking than the other."

...

After going out on the main street, Li Chu noticed something strange.

The true energy in this city is so strong!

It seems that thousands of cultivators are releasing their true energy and performing supernatural powers at the same time. Looking up, there are indeed many shadows passing by in midair, like a flock of migratory birds migrating south.

The children on the street raised their heads one after another, pointing to the cultivators who were either Yufeng or Yujian, cheering and envious.

"What happened?" Duranke also found out that Yufeng was going out of the city with many cultivators, a little strange.

However, Li Chu was never very curious about other people's affairs. Although he didn't know why it was so lively, he didn't plan to go and have a look.

As he continued to walk along the street, he suddenly heard a pleasantly surprised voice from the side.

"Oh, Daoist Li and Daoist Du, I see you again so soon!"

In the blink of an eye, it turned out to be Chen Huaji again.

The three of them met and said happy New Year to each other a few times, Dulanke also asked: "Young Master Chen, haven't you returned to Hangzhou Mansion for the New Year?"

"Don't mention it." Chen Huaji waved his hands with a look of displeasure, "We killed the devil last time in Shilun Mountain. After you went back, I stayed and helped the villagers dredge the river. I was busy for a long time. I wanted to go back and have a good time. In 2019, when I returned to the station, I realized that my three colleagues had taken two months of annual leave, and I was the only one staying here. So this year, I can only celebrate the New Year here."

Duranke said angrily: "Isn't this bullying honest people?"

"Who says it's not." Chen Huaji could only smile wryly.

"It's good to celebrate the New Year on the spot, so as not to trouble the family." Lao Du had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Well, in this way, my transfer order will take at least two months. If something happens in these two months, it will be completely indefinitely..." Chen Huaji mourned.

"Eh? I was curious just now..." Duranke just asked: "What happened in Qitian City? Why are all the cultivators in the city rushing to one place?"

"This..." Chen Huaji looked at Li Chu, "It might have something to do with Daoist Li."

"Is it related to me?" Now Li Chu was a little curious.

"Didn't you mention before that you saw the legendary Fuhuang Demon Body in the Valley of Terror, and then he shattered into nothingness and left."

Chen Huaji narrated: "A few days ago, a giant appeared out of thin air in front of Wanren Mountain in the southern border, and smashed Wanren Mountain with one punch, opened an extremely wide black crack, and got in."

"Wanren Mountain is located between Qitian City and Chushan City. The Qi and Chu families were the first to know about this matter, and then sealed the news tightly. It was not until yesterday that the reason for the matter was announced."

"Now that I think about it, that giant must be the revived Fuhuang demon body. The secret realm he created was probably the secret realm of the great demon Chen Fuhuang himself five hundred years ago. He fell in the southern border, and the tomb was unknown. No one has discovered the secret realm. The Qi and Chu families were greedy for the treasures that might be left in the secret realm, so they didn't make it public."

"It's not uncommon."

Duranke nodded. The big family of immortal sects is well-informed. Once they find a certain secret place or treasure, they will definitely make great efforts to block the news, so as not to attract others to compete with themselves.

"But..." Lao Du asked again: "Since they have blocked the news, why are they releasing it now?"

Chen Huaji said: "It's because the secret realm is extremely vast and has special rules. Even the two great families need help. There is a legend that Chen Fuhuang transformed the secret realm of the ancient Huaxu Kingdom. , as my own secret realm. Therefore, not only the treasures of Chen Fuhuang may be discovered there, but also the secret treasures of the ancient Huaxu Kingdom."

"Right now, the Qi family recruits all the cultivators in the Qi Tiancheng to help in the secret realm. Those who go don't need to contribute at all. As long as they are there, they will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, and everyone will naturally flock to it."

"Is there such a good thing as long as you don't need to work hard?" Li Chu blinked.

"Of course it's not that I don't need to do anything at all. It is said that I still need to help with small things." Chen Huaji said.

"What's the matter?" Li Chu asked.

"I don't know the details, but I've heard people say what it is..." Chen Huaji scratched his head and said, "Cut it with a knife."

"Chop a knife?"

"What exactly is the hacking method, I will know when I get there." Chen Huaji said with a smile: "I am going to participate in it."

"Are you going to join in the fun?" Old Du asked.

"Hey, as a member of Chaotianque's sect, such a big incident happened in the place where I was stationed. For the safety of the people here, and for the majesty of the court, I naturally have the obligation to go and investigate."

Chen Huaji said righteously.

"Don't make it up, you are just greedy for the little wages..." Old Du squinted at him, "Why are you talking about those useless things..."

"Actually..." Li Chu looked at Dulanke, "It's not like our Deyunguan sect has such obligations, for the court...for the common people...I think the two of us should go and have a look."

"Master is right!"

Lao Du immediately nodded solemnly, expressing his strong agreement.

Chen Huaji looked at Lao Du with flustered eyes, smelling a sense of crisis. It's only been a few days since I haven't seen him, and this guy's realm has improved again. If he is allowed to develop like this, I'm afraid that within a few days, his position as the number one dog licker will be lost...
