Chapter 12 Consumption
Cao Zhengchun suddenly turned around and saw Obai standing on the two door panels that had been smashed down in the village, with water drops on his face, staring at him with a playful expression.
The clothes found in a dilapidated mansion in Yingtian Mansion were now wet and clinging to his skin, imprinting the outline of his burly body and muscles.
Cao Zhengchun looked at him deeply and turned around without saying a word.
Obai snorted softly and scanned the surrounding area with a pair of tiger eyes.
In front of the door, two golden figures have put down their sedan chairs.
Cao Zhengchun walked to the sedan and bowed: "Your Majesty, there are seven sarcophagi in this abandoned manor, all of which contain corpses. The vajra body guards that my slaves have trained hard for fifty years are all for your safety.
Not as good as General Ao in fighting..."
Having said this, he turned his head towards Ao Bai with a sly expression and continued: "For your safety, why not let General Ao kill those seven corpse monsters?"
After hearing these words, Obai's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"What a neutered dog, so he's waiting for me here!"
Chu Hao had no time to pay attention to the secret fight between them. After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, he ordered the Jin man to lift the sedan curtain and prepare to take a look at the abandoned manor.
After the sedan curtain was lifted, seven dusty sarcophagi immediately came into view, and then, a strong smell of mold came into view.
"The poison in the corpse demon's body is very strong, let the Jin people deal with it. The two of you carry the sedan to the wooden platform and light a fire!"
After Chu Hao frowned and finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun and Ao Bai, who were slightly disappointed, immediately bowed to accept the order.
After replacing the two golden figures and carrying the sedan on the wooden platform, Cao Zhengchun went to find some discarded furniture and lit a fire under the wooden platform.
Oboi went to inspect the surroundings of this abandoned village.
During this period, the two golden figures became two feet tall and carried the seven sarcophagi out.
Then, one by one in the rain, they smashed the seven sarcophagi to pieces, and the corpse demon inside turned into a puddle of minced meat under their slaps.
Then, they stood in the rain, washing the corpse poison from their bodies in the rain.
Chu Hao was sitting in the sedan chair, looking at the swaying flames not far away, and began to recall in his mind what he had learned from the old man at the tea stall during the day.
The old man might not have talked to anyone for a long time. When Chu Hao asked about things in Lishui County, he started talking non-stop.
During his narration for nearly an hour, Chu Hao obtained three useful pieces of information.
First, the magistrate of Lishui County colluded with the businessmen in the county and appointed servants from wealthy businessmen's houses as patrol inspectors. He also made gangsters in the county serve as government servants. They robbed women, ransacked homes and killed people, and arrested people on the streets.<
/p>
Second, there is a Wuxiang Mountain outside Lishui County. There is a Wuxiang Temple on the mountain, and there is a Buddha sitting in the temple.
Although the Buddha protects Lishui County and protects the people in the county from demons and monsters, every three months, he requires the boys and girls in the county to go up the mountain to listen to the Dharma.
Although the boys and girls who entered the mountain never came down again, there were indeed no demons causing trouble in Lishui County.
Third, in the Tianchi behind Wuxiang Temple, there lives an evil dragon that loves to cause wind and rain, so that it rains every few days for several miles around Lishui County.
It can be seen that Lishui County is not peaceful either.
Yingtian Prefecture governs eight counties: Shangyuan, Jiangning, Jurong, Liyang, Lishui, Gaochun, Jiangpu, Liuhe, and Lishui County. Since this is the case, the situation in other counties will not be very good.
Chu Hao then looked at the boxes of gold and silver jewelry in the warehouse, deposited them all into his internal funds, and finally called up the country interface.
【Country: Daqian】
[Monarch: Chu Hao]
【National Luck: 5000】
[Internal funds: 5,700,350 taels of silver, 14,000 taels of gold (gold to silver exchange ratio: 1:12)]
[Treasury: 1,238 taels of silver]
[Jurisdiction: 40 prefectures, 68 counties]
[Officials: 148 people]
[Army: 36,481 people]
[Military morale: 15 (less than 30, rebellion will occur)]
【Population: 3.4 million 3957 people】
[Popular sentiment: 5 (less than 30, riots will occur)]
[Father: Golden Man*2]
【Wonder: None】
[Mall: To be expanded]
[Recruitment order: temporarily unavailable]
Countdown:145:40:20
(It can be refreshed with one hundred thousand taels of silver (ten thousand national fortunes), and the amount will be doubled the next time it is refreshed)
After seeing the money in the bankroll, the pressure in Chu Hao's heart became much lighter.
He roughly calculated that sixty-two boxes of silver, four boxes of jewelry, three boxes of jade Buddhist utensils, and three boxes of imperial jewels totaled 5.7 million taels. One box of gold bricks was worth thirteen thousand taels ( One hundred and fifty-six thousand taels of silver).
If you add the one thousand taels of gold he received at the beginning, the money he can use now totals 5,868,350 taels of silver.
Chu Hao began to think secretly.
"The most important thing right now is to capture Pudu Cihang alive. As long as I capture it, I can eliminate the monsters around Yingtian Mansion, thereby developing Yingtian Mansion and spreading it to the surrounding areas!"
"Cao Zhengchun, Ao Bai, Yan Chixia, and Zhiqiu Yiye work together to kill Pudu Cihang, but if it wants to escape, the four of them cannot stop it!"
"Moreover, we need to take into account the occurrence of unexpected situations!"
"If we recruit again, we will have to spend one hundred thousand taels... Let's put the recruitment aside for now and think about how to enhance their combat effectiveness!"
Thinking of this, Chu Hao opened the mall and searched for the martial arts manual in his mind.
[Sunflower Collection]: Worth five hundred thousand taels of silver.
【Nine Yin Manual】: Worth eight hundred thousand taels of silver.
[Evil Sword Manual]: Worth one hundred thousand taels of silver.
[Nine Yang Manual]: Worth 800,000 taels of silver.
[Innate Formless Magic Skill]: Worth 1.5 million taels.
[Beiming Magic Skill]: Worth one million taels.
[Beiming Magic Skill·Immortal]: Worth three and a half million taels.
There were many magical skills later, but Chu Hao didn’t look at them again.
The above are all magic skills for quick introduction, and you can build combat power in a short time.
But what makes Chu Hao strange is how come there are two kinds of Beiming Divine Art.
He clicked on it and looked at the details of [Beiming Magic Art: Immortal].
[Name: Beiming Shen Gong·Xian]
[Level: Immortal]
[Characteristics: The connection between yin and yang, both good and evil, invulnerable to all poisons, fierce and domineering, absorbing internal energy (Qi, demon Qi, Yin Qi), protecting the body with Qi, formless, wind control, rebirth.]
[Explanation: The primary purpose of this skill is to accumulate internal strength.
With strong internal strength, [all the martial arts in the world are at my disposal], just like the Northern Ming, I can carry all the big and small boats, big and small fish.
Take one point and store one point. It will not leak out endlessly. The more it accumulates, the thicker it becomes. It is like the giant dip in Beiming Tianchi, which can float thousands of miles. The great water in Beiming cannot arise by itself.
When the magical power is accomplished, the Yuan Shen is Kun, riding on the righteousness of heaven and earth, controlling the debate between the six qi, and swimming infinitely. The physical body is like the sea, and the Yuan Shen is like Kun. The two exist as one, reflecting Yin and Yang, and regaining vitality.]
After reading the explanation of this magical skill, Chu Hao's heart moved.
He has always been worried about his own life, so he will think of ways to strengthen the people around him. If he learns this magical skill, he can be reborn even if he dies.
Thinking of this, he bought this magical skill for a high price of 3.5 million taels of silver.
Later, when he opened the warehouse and clicked on this magical skill, the sound of waves and the roar of a strange creature suddenly came to his ears.
Immediately afterwards, countless information poured into my mind.
After a while, Chu Hao slowly opened his eyes, looking thoughtful.
After a few minutes of enlightenment, he opened the mall again and bought the evil-repelling sword manual, the Nine Yin Manual, and the Nine Yang Manual.
The internal funds shrank instantly, leaving only more than 500,000 yuan.
