Chapter 134 Token

Er Gouzi rode a goose and flew out of Shekou Mountain. It was autumn now, and the crops everywhere had turned golden.

This year was the first bumper harvest year after the disaster, and many places had already started harvesting grain.

It was conceivable that the grain harvested this year would fill up all the granaries and they would not be able to hold any more.

He planned to use the grain to refine some marching pills for easy storage.

Last time in the county city, he found that the government was purchasing marching pills from the people to support the border.

And the price offered by the government was a magical medicine or elixir.

The marching pills were made from ordinary grains, and three buckets of grain could be made into one marching pill.

Eating one marching pill was equivalent to eating one bucket of rice.

The general market price was two taels of silver per pill.

On the surface, it was not as cost-effective as eating grain directly, and it was even a loss.

But the marching pills were small in size and easy to carry, which could completely cover the cost of refining.

Because if you use human or animal power to transport a stone of grain from the inland to the border.

The food consumed by people and animals along the way may reach as much as one or two stones.

Adding the labor cost, time cost, and storage cost, the cost is even higher.

Perhaps to facilitate the refining and purchase of march pills, the government made the refining method of march pills public.

As long as you have a little cultivation, you can use a hundred-refined iron pot to refine it.

After the autumn harvest, he plans to let those of his men who have practiced Qi to start refining march pills.

Er Gouzi rode on the back of the goose and flew back and forth along the periphery of his Shekou Mountain.

Recently, the evil cult monks have been targeting him and want to steal his foundation-building pills, which scared him to shrink his head every day.

Today, he flew out so ostentatiously just to attract a few evil cult monks to come out and fill the big snake's stomach.

After flying for most of the day, he still didn't see any evil cult monks approaching, so he could only expand the range.

Go to a farther place to show off.

So far, he has flown out of his territory.

Now the whole Anchang County has recovered very well after the turmoil.

Many immigrants from other places have traveled hundreds or even thousands of miles to settle in Anchang County.

Land can be rented at a low price here, and the officials here are very friendly to the people.

Anchang County has become the legendary paradise of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Originally, after the turmoil, only one in ten people survived, but now, less than a year later, it has recovered 20% to 30%.

And many people are migrating here continuously.

Anchang County will surely prosper in the future, even more than before the turmoil.

Er Gouzi went around Anchang County and still didn't meet any cult monks.

This made him have some self-doubt in his heart.

Is it that he is no longer popular in the cult?

It feels bad to be hunted, but it is also uncomfortable to be looked down upon and ignored.

Er Gouzi rode a big goose and simply flew out of Anchang County.

After leaving Anchang County, these neighboring counties seemed much poorer and more desolate.

It was almost the same as the turbulent period, with few living people.

The few living people migrated to Anchang County.

Er Gouzi rode on the goose's back, waiting to be hunted down, feeling bored.

Why hasn't anyone come to kill me yet?

This thought just came to his mind, and with a "bang", his back felt like being punched.

Looking back, he saw a foundation-building cultivator walking out from behind a tree below, looking up at him.

On the leather armor behind Er Gouzi, there was a black, hair-like needle nailed.

It turned out that this person was attacking him. If it weren't for the leather armor protection, he would have died here this time.

"A foundation-building cultivator actually hid in the dark and attacked me, a junior in the Qi training stage."

Er Gouzi cursed angrily, and pulled out a bamboo tube with his backhand, spraying pepper water below.

Anyone who dares to stand under him, he can spray pepper water, throw stones, throw arrows...

The evil cult monk naturally didn't want to stand on the ground and get beaten, so he immediately sacrificed a flying sword, flew into the air, and chased Er Gouzi.

"Boy, I've been eyeing you since you came out of Shekou Mountain."

"I don't know what you rely on, and you dare to come out to seduce me, wasting so much of my time."

It turned out that this man had seen through Gouzi's mind a long time ago, so he followed him carefully for a long time, and finally took the means of sneak attack.

It's just that I've observed that Er Gouzi has nothing special except a good leather armor.

"Maybe this leather armor is your reliance."

Since he was seen through, Er Gouzi didn't get angry. He drew out the door panel sword and slashed at the evil cultivator, but he dodged it in the air.

"Huh!"

"Where's my needle?"

The evil cultivator exclaimed in surprise.

The thin needle used to sneak attack Er Gouzi just now is also a magic weapon.

This thing can avoid the divine sense, is quenched with a deadly poison, and can kill people with a single blow. It is a sharp weapon for sneak attacks.

He originally hid in the dark and attacked with all his strength, but he didn't expect to be blocked by a piece of leather armor.

Now when he wanted to control the fine needle to fight, he found that the fine needle that was nailed on Er Gouzi's leather armor just now was gone.

Seeing such a good thing, how could Er Gouzi let it go? He had already pulled it out and put it in the gourd.

Originally, all magic weapons had the divine sense mark left by the cultivators. Even if they were barely snatched, they would be controlled by the opponent.

No one would steal someone's magic weapon in a battle, because they couldn't steal it and couldn't take it away.

But Er Gouzi was different. He put the fine needle into the gourd, and the evil cultivator on the opposite side could no longer sense his magic weapon.

Er Gouzi took advantage of this opportunity and slashed several times in a row, but unfortunately he couldn't hurt the opponent.

And now he was fighting while flying towards Shekou Mountain.

I don't know what the identity of this evil cultivator is. He stepped on a flying sword, and Er Gouzi took away a magic weapon flying needle.

He actually had a third magic weapon on him, and now he sacrificed another flying sword and chased Er Gouzi to cut.

Fortunately, Er Gouzi was also prepared and stuffed a pink pill into the big goose's mouth.

"Ga~ ga~"

The big goose flapped its wings, and its speed suddenly increased, taking Er Gouzi away in the direction of Shekou Mountain.

This evil cult cultivator was really good, and Er Gouzi was no match for him at all. He chased Er Gouzi all the way.

Several small holes were pierced on Er Gouzi's new leather jacket.

Fortunately, the quality of his leather armor was good enough, and only the outermost layer of skin was pierced.

Er Gouzi fought and fled, and finally escaped back to Shekou Mountain.

The hungry snake had been waiting here for a long time.

When it saw the foundation-building monk chasing after it, it immediately stuck its body out of the cave and swallowed the evil cult foundation-building monk in one bite.

Then the snake retracted its body into the cave and went back to digest the food.

The big snake was very fast. It only took a moment from appearing to swallowing people and then retracting.

There were many people working at the foot of Shekou Mountain. I saw Er Gouzi flying back just now, and it seemed that there was a person chasing him behind him.

I only felt that the sky darkened for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, the person chasing him suddenly disappeared.

"You guys, was there a person chasing after the boss just now?"

"I saw someone too, but he suddenly disappeared. I thought I was dazzled."

Er Gouzi brought the person back to the big snake to eat, and he returned to the stone house on the top of the mountain and took off his leather armor to check.

The new clothes that had just been made were pierced with several small holes by this guy.

Fortunately, the leather armor had several layers and was very strong, so the person was not injured.

However, he also had a good harvest.

The needle was very thin, black, and could not be seen by the divine sense.

He didn't feel anything at the time, and the needle was fixed on the leather armor. If it hadn't been blocked by the leather armor, he would have lost his life.

This thing is definitely a good thing for sneak attacks and harming people.

In addition to this needle, the evil cult monk also had two flying swords.

He picked up one, and the other was swallowed by the snake. I don't know if it would cut its stomach.

Anyway, these two magic weapons can make up for the loss of the leather armor.

Next time I go to the city, I will go to Baiduan Pavilion and ask the old man to help me repair it.

After swallowing a foundation-building monk, the big snake finally stopped crying out for hunger. It took several days to digest the whole person.

Even the magic weapon flying sword that was swallowed together was digested by the snake.

But in the end, there was still one thing that could not be digested and was vomited out by the snake.

"Er Gou, come quickly!"

"Come and see."

Chang Ling'er called in Er Gou's mind a little hurriedly.

"What's the matter that makes you so anxious?"

"It's Xu Feng. I sensed Xu Feng's breath."

"Come down and take a look in the snake cave."

Er Gou was called by Chang Ling'er and went to the snake cave.

There was a palm-sized token on the ground.

"This token is from that person."

"My snake baby couldn't digest it and vomited it out again."

"But I can sense Xu Feng's breath from this token."

"It must be related to him."

Er Gou squatted down and picked up the token.

This is a wooden token with many runes carved on it, but not a single word.
