Comprehension Is Heaven-Defying, I Created The Method Of Immortality In Da Qin

"Fire Qilin?"

Li Jing, who was eating and drinking in the restaurant, was suddenly attracted by the content of the exclamations in the restaurant.

In this world, there is a magical beast like fire Qilin?

"You don't know, right? It's all old news from decades ago."

Then the man started talking to everyone.

Not only was he talking, but the people around the restaurant occasionally knew something, and they also chimed in and told some old stories from the past.

It turns out that there was a high mountain cliff on the Dongjiang River in the Shen Song Dynasty, and there was a huge stone cave in it. It was said that when the Dongjiang River flooded, the cave would be submerged, so it was called a flooded cave.

This flooded cave is criss-crossed and complicated, and is the residence of Qilin, a fire. When the Dongjiang River floods the cave, the fire Qilin will be stimulated by the river water, and it will rush out of the cave and wreak havoc on the world.

"The Dongjiang River flooded the cave, and the Qilin fire beast emerged, so the local proverb "Zero Six Seven" goes..."

At this time, the man who first mentioned this matter spoke eloquently.

Seeing everyone marveling, the man felt extremely satisfied. He got the news and came here to show off, although the effect was excellent.

"The Dongjiang River is overflowing and fire Qilin is raging. The local people are miserable."

"It turns out that the last time Fire Qilin appeared was decades ago. No wonder we haven't heard of it before.

"I heard that this Qilin fire beast is extremely powerful and invulnerable. Many people in the world wanted to surround and kill him, but they all suffered numerous casualties.

The people in the entire restaurant were completely touched by the news, and they all started talking about it.

"The cave is flooded and destroyed..."

Li Jing felt that this situation was so familiar, and the sense of déjà vu was too strong.

Unfortunately, it is not a flooded Buddha's knees, but with a strange beast similar to the fire Qilin, it is conceivable that the power of the peak of mysterious power in this world should not be weak.

Li Jing sat in the restaurant for more than an hour, eating until her belly was round, running the Cultivation Technique to speed up digestion and strengthen her body. At the same time, she also heard a lot of news that her predecessor had never heard of.

The predecessor was firstly too young, and secondly, his family was poor and he was busy making a living. He followed his father out to the lake to fish all day long, so he didn't know much about things outside Zhenhu City.

Now when she hears people talking about the court, neighboring countries and the world in the restaurant, Li Jing silently remembers it in her heart.

Li Jing ate a lot, and spent several hundred coins on one meal, which was nearly half a month's income for ordinary fishermen. They would definitely not be willing to come here.

The average fisherman only earns dozens of yuan a day. Unless he is lucky enough to catch some precious fish, or it is the same treasure fish as before, otherwise the catch of dozens in a day is already enough.

In addition to supporting the family's food and drink expenses, they also have to pay taxes every year. If they can't afford the taxes, they will be sent to hard labor, which is not only difficult, but may even cost them their lives.

Therefore, most fishermen live a miserable life, and poverty is the norm.

"Except for Qilin, a flooded cave and a fire, there are indeed many paradoxical things in this world. Even some of the characteristics of masters in Jianghu are somewhat similar to the characters in Jianghu in movies or novels that I have watched in modern society.

Li Jing paid the bill and left the restaurant. After walking a few steps, she heard the vendors nearby discussing about the three rogues Xue Si and Li Jing.

"I heard that all the limbs were mutilated. Tsk, tsk, tsk, they must have provoked a ruthless person!"

"No, Bai Sensen's bones were pierced with stubble, and blood flowed all over the floor. Now I don't know if he can survive."

When the vendors around were discussing, there was a hint of schadenfreude and excitement on their faces.

These gangsters like Xue Si brought a lot of trouble to everyone on weekdays. They looked like they were being bullied, and they had no choice but to swallow their anger because their family was being bullied.

But now that I saw that they had suffered retribution, not only did I not feel any pity, I even felt a bit of pleasure.

Li Jing listened casually for a while and then left.

Not long after, Li Jing finally found a bookstore in a remote corner of the market.

The bookstore looked small, with not many books, and the books all looked old, but it was kept clean and run by a down-and-out middle-aged scholar wearing a washed white green shirt.

The main business of this bookstore is not selling books, but writing letters for others.

In ancient times, the illiteracy rate was extremely high, and only a very small number of people could read and write, so this business demand was born.

But obviously, the down-and-out middle-aged scholar who can help write letters is also a scholar who failed the imperial examination. Otherwise, the scholar would not have put aside his status to do this business.

In this era, as long as you are admitted as a scholar, you have already half-stepped into the ranks of scholars. Not only do you have the privilege of seeing an official without bowing, but you can also be exempted from corvee labor and taxes on dozens of acres of land.

At this time, some wealthy businessmen or ordinary people would put their property in the name of the scholar, and the scholar would get a considerable amount of wealth. Although it would not make him rich, it would be easy to support himself and continue to focus on the imperial examination.

Not to mention that if you are an outstanding scholar, the government will subsidize you with rice, noodles and money every year.

"If I take the imperial examination route, it won't be difficult, but there is no need to waste time on this road."

This thought flashed through Li Jing's mind.

As his thoughts flashed, Li Jing had already arrived in front of the down-and-out middle-aged scholar in the bookstore.

"I don't know what this is, little brother?"

The middle-aged scholar's face is a bit vicissitudes of life, but his manners are gentle and polite. After all, he is a person who studies and learns etiquette. His temperament is very different from other people at the bottom.

At this time, the middle-aged scholar was a little unsure of the purpose of Li Jing's visit, because although Li Jing was wearing coarse linen clothes, he had an outstanding demeanor and looked forward to Gu Shenghui.

If it weren't for his tanned skin due to years of fishing, and the problem with his clothing, this middle-aged scholar would have already concluded that the young man in front of him came from some aristocratic family.

"Read and learn to read!"

Li Jing stated the purpose of this trip.

Although the characters in this world also evolved from hieroglyphics, they are very different from what Li Jing knew, and his predecessor was even more illiterate. Therefore, besides having a good meal, Li Jing just wanted to practice writing when he got the money. .

Words are the carrier of ideas and information. Once you learn it, 0.4 will be much more convenient.

This middle-aged scholar almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. Firstly, Li Jing's temperament did not look like he was illiterate. Secondly, he was a bookshop here, not a private school. Why did this young man run away? Say these words?

But when Li Jing took out a few coins and put them in front of him, saying it was for half a day's tuition.

The middle-aged scholar was instantly convinced.

"If you want to learn, I will teach you! But as I said before, this money will not be withdrawn."

The middle-aged scholar put away a few coins on the table. This was an amount of money that took him several days to earn.

One penny of silver is equal to one hundred copper coins. When the market is good, he can earn eighty or ninety copper coins, and even less, it is only fifty or sixty copper coins.

Besides, it only takes half a day to teach, so this deal is not very cost-effective.

But then, very soon, he was stunned by Li Jing's performance. .
