Inside the village.
Seeing the 'dog official' leave with his tail between his legs, the mountain people cheered.
"Brother Wang, it's all thanks to you."
"With Brother Wang here, we don't have to be afraid of that dog official."
…
Seeing the cheering crowd, Wang Shun's face did not show much joy. 'That's an official, not an official … But an official is even more despicable than an official. An official still needs a reputation, but an official doesn't … Moreover, power is passed down from generation to generation. When the father dies, the son takes over. It's complicated. They also have connections with the big families in the county. Even the county magistrate can't do anything to them. They even destroy the homes of the commoners and suck their marrow … What official forcing the people to rebel? It's simply an official forcing the people to rebel.'
'Now that Kong Cao has left, he will definitely hate me. I don't know what kind of sinister methods he will use to take revenge on me and the village …'
'Although Kong Cao is just a secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, the third class and the sixth branch will naturally work together when it comes to the commoners. As long as they tamper with the documents slightly, not only will they mess up the village's naturalization, but they will also really become a traitor!'
'Sigh … I originally wanted to offer an auspicious animal to seal Kong Cao's mouth and make the county magistrate overjoyed. That way, I can walk the path of the First Master … Now that it doesn't work, what should I do?'
Wang Shun's eyes were dark. For a moment, he actually had the thought of sneaking down the mountain and assassinating Kong Cao.
Once this thought was born, it quickly spread like a root. It could not be erased no matter what.
With a sharp blade in hand, the killing intent rose!
Wang Shun's personality naturally changed after obtaining the unparalleled swordsmanship in the world.
…
Fang Xian did not choose the road to Wang Shun's village.
Wang Shun's village, 'White Hair Village', was located in Dazheng County. Above Dazheng County was Zhengyang Manor. Above Zhengyang Manor was Dingzhou, one of the nine prefectures of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
White Liang Mountain was located in Zhengyang Manor, spanning from east to west. Fang Xian randomly chose a direction and walked out of the mountain range. Then, he sneaked into someone's house and stole a few clothes and a bamboo hat. After dressing himself up a little, he looked rather decent.
Occasionally, he would sneak into the town's market, but he was not discovered.
"Give me ten steamed buns and three catties of braised meat. Wrap them up and take them with you so you can eat them on the road."
In a small shop, the waiter saw a two-meter-tall figure wearing a conical bamboo hat walk in. He quickly went forward to welcome him. When he heard this, he could not help but smile and say, "Dear customer, please wait for a moment. It will be delivered immediately. Our shop's braised meat is very famous. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
He could tell from the way this person was dressed that he was not a good person, so he had to be extra careful.
But for some reason, he felt that there was something wrong with the arm and the shape of the body. But he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
When the food was served, the Man in Bamboo Hat took out the copper coins. The waiter noticed that he was wearing gloves, and nothing was exposed on his body. He couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"Is this man sick in the head? Or was he a bandit wanted by the government? But a great bandit doesn't have to wrap his hands up … "
While he was deep in thought, the man in the bamboo hat stopped and asked, "Are there any Taoist temples nearby? Or some other supernatural event? "
The waiter was used to greeting people, so he knew a little bit about all kinds of news. He smiled and said, "Dear customer, are you going to offer incense? I heard that the 'Philosophy Watch' outside Zhengyang Mansion is very efficacious. As for supernatural events? Most of them are rumors. The local area has always been peaceful … "
"'Philosophy Watch'?"
Fang Xian nodded and walked with the package.
At this moment, his body trembled, and a prompt appeared in front of him:
[Robbery Power + 5]
"Strange, I haven't done anything yet. How did I get the Robbery Power? There is no such thing as an advance payment … So I indirectly affected something and caused a calamity? Could it be that Mountain Gentleman or Yu Kong Zi has become a monster and eaten people? "
However, it was just a thought. Fang Xian continued to stride out.
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you do something? "
The shopkeeper with the abacus came over and slapped the waiter.
"Okay, okay …"
The waiter touched his head, feeling a little confused.
He seemed to have seen a white … tail under the clothes of the Man in Bamboo Hat?
"I must be possessed. How can a person have a tail? Could it be a belt? "
The waiter shook his head, forgot about that scene, and went back to his work.
…
Deep into the night.
Fang Xian was hurrying on his way.
He moved his legs, and with a single step, he crossed a distance of ten feet, faster than a galloping horse.
In his eyes, the lightness skills of the Jianghu heroes and martial arts masters in this world were all extremely shallow and shallow.
Even though he had met a few martial arts masters, he found that they probably couldn't even beat Wang Shun, who had learned his sword moves. It was really boring.
However, because it was a little shocking, he chose to hide during the day and go out at night.
This time, his goal was the 'Philosophy Watch'.
Since this Taoist temple was famous, it might have some inheritance.
After walking like this for half the night, Fang Xian looked at the starry sky and began to find a place to stay.
In the wilderness, there was only a broken temple. The plaque was missing, and it was unknown which god it was worshiped.
When Fang Xian entered the temple.
There was a crash.
There was a thunder in the sky, and a torrential rain suddenly fell.
The temple was not big, and there was a sleeping scholar inside. He seemed to have been woken up by the thunder. When he saw a tall black shadow enter, he was shocked. "Who are you?"
"A passerby …"
Fang Xian sat down cross-legged and lit up a flame. Without taking off his bamboo hat, he asked casually, "A scholar like you is sleeping alone in the wilderness. Aren't you afraid?"
"Now that the world is at peace, and I have a sword."
As if to boost his courage, the scholar took out his sword.
With one look, Fang Xian knew that the sword was not sharp yet. He couldn't help but smile. "I didn't expect you to be an Elementary Scholar."
The Zhou Dynasty had a system of government. Only Elementary Scholars and above could carry a sword and travel.
Otherwise, just the household registration alone would be enough to stop a commoner.
"I am Ning Boshang. May I know your name?"
The scholar bowed and asked.
Seeing that Fang Xian was hiding his identity, he was a little scared. He was secretly annoyed. "Why did I ask for his name? What if he really is a great thief? What should I do? "
"I never say my name when I travel the martial world …"
Fang Xian laughed mockingly. Suddenly, he looked at the door. "The temple is really lively tonight …"
Before he finished speaking, a group of people rushed in to hide from the rain. They were all dressed in black and had long knives at their waists. They had a fierce aura but did not have the temperament of a public servant. Instead, they looked more like a group of bandits.
"Why are there still people?"
The leader saw Fang Xian and Ning Boshang and was startled. He immediately said, "What we are doing is too important. We can't let anyone see us. Kill us."
"You dare? I am an Elementary Scholar. Once I die, it will be a huge case. The government will definitely investigate! "
Ning Boshang was not a fool. He immediately shouted.
"You are an Elementary Scholar? Unfortunately … we are Liang Mountain Bandits. Haha! "
The man in black was startled and immediately laughed.
"We are finished …"
Ning Boshang's face turned pale. Even he had heard of the infamous name of this group of people. Because they were used to hiding in Bai Liang Mountain, even the government could not find their lair. Hence, they were unable to exterminate them.
Not to mention killing an Elementary Scholar, even if they killed a High Scholar, they would only need to hide in the mountains for a few years.
