Chapter 133 The Great Snake Resurrects

"Congratulations to Brother Zhang for successfully winning the election."

In the county government office, Yang Tie expressed his congratulations to Ergouzi.

"Thanks to Brother Yang for helping me take care of it."

From Wu Xiucai to Wuju, after experiencing these two exams.

Ergouzi knew that if it weren't for Yang Tie's help this time, let alone passing the martial arts exam, he might not be able to pass the registration level.

"This is your spiritual stone, please count it."

Yang Tie said, took out a wooden box and handed it to Ergouzi, which contained 15 spiritual stones.

It was he who gave up his fourth position and sold these 15 spiritual stones.

Because of these spiritual stones, he had to bear a lot of infamy, plus the nickname of a monk with kidney deficiency.

Ergouzi took the wooden box and took out three spiritual stones from the box. He hesitated and then picked up two more.

Although he felt a little distressed about the spirit stones, he still sent the five spirit stones in his hand to Yang Tie.

"Brother Yang, thanks to your help, please accept these spiritual stones."

Yang Tie nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to take the spirit stone, and put it into a small bag as big as a palm around his waist.

"Yes, you understood quickly."

Yang Tie put away the spirit stone and showed a teachable expression.

"I am not short of these five spiritual stones, so I will teach you a little more today.

In the future, no matter who asks you to do something, you can only receive more benefits, but never less. "

"Why?"

Ergouzi looked puzzled. He had more than 100,000 acres of farmland, Shekou Mountain, and a treasure gourd.

Except for his own share of money, he really doesn't want to break the bones and suck out the marrow of ordinary people. There is no need.

"I knew you didn't understand."

Yang Tie chuckled and continued.

"If you think the benefits are too small and you don't like it, even if you take it back and rot it and throw it away, you must take the benefits that are due and you can't break the rules.

Originally, everyone would get benefits together and eat well, but if you are the only one who does not receive any benefits, or receives less benefits. "

"hehe……"

"What do you think the result will be?"

When Yang Tie said this, he looked at Er Gouzi with a smile.

Before Ergouzi could answer, he continued.

"It seems that you are the only good person in the entire officialdom, and everyone else is bad. Do you think other officials can tolerate you?"

Ergouzi nodded and agreed with Yang Tie's statement. In fact, he didn't care. He had never thought about becoming an official.

And he never thought that he had to be a good person.

However, at this moment, he was thinking of Sima Yi who was far away in the capital.

This guy was never willing to practice martial arts and take the imperial examination before, probably for this reason.

Some time ago, Sima Yi asked someone to send him a letter.

He said that Xiao'ezi's injury had completely healed, and thanks to Jicang's relationship, he found a clerk in the capital's Yamen.

With Sima Yi's temperament, he really doesn't know how to survive?

Shouldn't he be regarded as a public enemy of the entire officialdom?

"When I was young, I also thought about serving the imperial court, seeking benefits for the people of the world, benefiting one country, and becoming a good official who will leave a lasting name in history..."

"Looking back now, I was still naive at that time. I had to survive first."

When Yang Tie said this, he looked up at the sky and sighed deeply, seemingly feeling infinite melancholy.

"In a few months, I will leave Sanyang County...

If you want to find a job in the government, think about it as soon as possible while I am still in this position. I can still help you. "

"Huh? Are you leaving?"

Ergouzi was a little surprised. He finally found a supporter. After feeling comfortable for a few days, he had to leave again.

"Well, I served well in suppressing the rebellion and was promoted!"

Yang Tie was still very happy when he said this.

“This time during the chaos in Qingzhou, most officials performed extremely well and made great contributions.

After a while, many people will be rewarded with promotions, money, skills, elixirs, treasures..."

"If it hadn't been for this turmoil, I would have had to struggle here for more than ten years, or even longer, and I might not have been promoted."

"So every crisis is an opportunity. If you seize the opportunity, you can rise to the top..."

…………

…

Outside the city of Sanyang County, Ergouzi was walking slowly among a group of ordinary pedestrians.

Over his leather armor he wore a robe of rough grass cloth.

Coupled with his dark skin, he blended in with ordinary people. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary farmer.

Ever since he was admitted to the Juren Examination, people who wanted to see him, treat him to dinner, give him gifts, and arrange matchmaking lined up for several streets every day.

The daughter of a wealthy family in the city looks really beautiful.

It's white, tender, and juicy, just like tender tofu. Water will come out when you press it lightly.

The others were easily rejected, but this matchmaker tickled Ergouzi unbearably.

Who doesn't like that kind of juicy big girl, holding it in the palm of your hand for fear of falling off, holding it in your mouth for fear of melting.

If you marry two or three people back home, they can help farm the land, wash clothes, cook, and have babies...

Just thinking about it makes me ecstatic with happiness.

As a veteran, Yang Tie even taught him a lot of experience.

According to Yang Tie, when it comes to marrying a daughter-in-law, don't marry one at all. If you want to marry one, marry a few at a time.

It's not easy to take care of just one wife, and she might even get into trouble with you.

If you marry three or five at a time, or one or twenty, they will be jealous of each other, so you don't have to worry.

Er Gouzi thought Yang Tie's words made sense. How could he know everything?

But after thinking it over, he still rejected these matchmakers.

It's still not convenient now.

In addition to those who openly want to win him over, the cult members are also looking for him.

Although the two sides have different lineups, their goals are similar, all wanting to get some benefits from him.

In the end, he could only slip out of the back door of the county government office, mixed in with a group of ordinary merchants, and left the city in a low-key manner.

Mixing with these ordinary people, the walking speed is very slow.

Walking and stopping, only walking a dozen miles, you have to sit down and rest your feet.

These people are traveling merchants who travel between cities, selling some small commodities, local specialties and the like.

Because they are worried about being robbed on the road, many strangers gather together to walk, hoping to have more people.

There are many people along the way, and they did not encounter the kind of murder and robbery gangs, but the tolls they should pay are still indispensable.

There are many checkpoints along the way, some of which are set up by the government. Passersby and vendors can pass safely by paying a sum of money.

But the road is too long, and the government can't collect it, so they will contract it to some bandits.

The bandits collect tolls, and then pay part of it to the government, and the rest belongs to the bandits themselves.

Er Gouzi followed the team and paid a lot of copper coins and silver along the way.

Finally, he hid the eyes and ears of those evil cults and returned to Shekou Mountain safely.

At the same time, there were many eyes and ears guarding outside the Sanyang County Government, waiting for Er Gouzi to go out.

"Master is back!"

Yushan was very happy to see Er Gouzi coming back.

Er Gouzi glanced and saw that the weeds in the field were all removed.

A snake demon was walking among the spiritual medicine bushes, loosening the soil, turning the soil and weeding, all very skillfully.

"Er Gouzi, did you sell any spiritual stones? Another baby snake is dying."

Chang Ling'er's voice sounded in Er Gouzi's mind.

Last time, when Er Gouzi asked Chang Ling'er for the snake corpses, he told him that he would take the snake corpses to the city to sell for spiritual stones.

"Yes, I sold three spiritual stones in total. How about I give you one?"

"Why is it so little? I remember that the corpse of the foundation-building snake demon is very valuable."

Chang Ling'er was a little confused. Although he couldn't leave Shekou Mountain, he had Chang Ling'er's memories before her death, so he knew the market.

"Your memories are all from more than 10,000 years ago. Now the world has changed a lot. Even this magic weapon has become an ordinary mortal object. The market has long been different."

Chang Ling'er listened to Er Gouzi's explanation and felt a little disappointed. It seemed to be the truth.

"However, if you want to save the snakes now, I can lend you some spiritual stones. Remember to return them to me later."

Er Gouzi felt that it was still necessary to save those big snakes, which would also be a great help.

However, those snakes only listened to Chang Ling'er and couldn't be commanded by themselves. He could only let Chang Ling'er owe some money first, so that he could talk to her later.

"Didn't you say that family members shouldn't be too distant?

Why do you lend me spiritual stones and have to pay them back later?"

Chang Ling'er's voice rang in Er Gouzi's mind.

Er Gouzi was silent for a long time.

"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Although we are relatives, some things should be settled clearly."

"Oh, so I see!"

Chang Ling'er's voice rang in Er Gouzi's mind.

"How many spiritual stones are needed to revive a foundation-building snake?"

Er Gouzi planned to concentrate his strength and revive a foundation-building snake first.

In fact, he had also taken a sleeping little snake and put it in the gourd.

For some reason, the spiritual energy in the little snake was indeed stronger, but it did not revive.

"At least 100 spiritual stones are needed."

Chang Ling'er roughly estimated and said.

"Okay! Then I will lend you 100 spiritual stones."

Er Gouzi said, and skillfully wrote an IOU, and asked Chang Ling'er to print a green leaf mark on the IOU.

Ji Cang's pile of IOUs had not been paid off yet, and now he had another IOU on him.

After writing the IOU, Er Gouzi did not hesitate to take out 10 spiritual stones and restore the big snake.

When the spiritual energy was almost sucked out, he put the spiritual stones into the gourd for nourishment.

This cycle repeated itself, and finally one day, the big snake slowly opened its eyes.

As soon as the big snake opened its eyes, it smelled a human scent, spit out its tongue, and wanted to swallow Er Gouzi in one bite.

Fortunately, Chang Ling'er stopped it in time, otherwise Er Gouzi, the creditor, would have been eaten.

"My snake baby said he was very hungry and wanted to eat food and people."

"There are so many people living at the foot of the mountain, can he eat a few people?"

Chang Ling'er's voice asked in Er Gouzi's mind.

"No, you can't touch anyone."

Er Gouzi immediately rejected Chang Ling'er's dangerous idea.

Monsters are monsters, and humans and livestock are just food in their eyes, without any difference.

Chang Ling'er was also a snake demon in his previous life, so he must have a similar way of thinking.

"My snake baby is very kind and docile. Now I'm very hungry and just want to eat a few people to fill my stomach."

"I saw that there seemed to be a flock of sheep at the foot of the mountain. Can you give me a few sheep?"

Chang Ling'er couldn't leave Shekou Mountain. The foot of the mountain was a bit far, otherwise he would have stolen a few people to feed the snake.

"No, I raise those sheep for breeding, and I can't bear to eat any of them myself."

Er Gouzi still didn't agree.

"Why don't you make your snake behave and I'll take it to find food somewhere else."

Er Gouzi thought that there should be a lot of fish and shrimp in the Anchang River, enough for the big snake to eat.

"It seems impossible. They are restricted by the formation on this mountain like me and cannot leave."

"Why don't you let Yushan be eaten by the big snake? He is clumsy and can't work as well as the big snake."

Chang Ling'er then set her sights on Yushan.

"I have a plan. You wait for me here."

Er Gouzi gave an order and flew out on the big goose.
