Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 514 [Liar Simon Crane]

  Fang Chang naturally nodded in agreement, but Ke Chenghuang is a local **** and cannot leave his jurisdiction at will, so he can only bid farewell to Fang Chang and the two, and wish them all the best in their next trip.

  After bidding farewell to Ke Chenghuang, Mr. Miao locked the door, and then she told the neighbors in the yard that she wanted to go far away, and walked out with Fang Chang. The people in the courtyard had always known that Uncle Ke and Aunt Miao were on good terms, but now seeing Aunt Miao and the young people brought by Uncle Ke leave together, they were not worried or curious.

  The two did not speak. Mr. Miao led the way. Although she was old, she walked quickly on crutches, and Fang Chang followed silently. They went straight out of the city and headed west. Only then did Fang Chang ask:

   "Mr. Miao, where are we going? In what direction is it, and how far is it from here?"

"It's not very far away, it's just one hundred and twenty miles away in Nangang City." Mr. Miao said, walking quickly with the crutches still under his feet and in his hands, "At our current speed, it only takes five hours to walk. arrive."

  Fang Chang thought for a while, and felt that it was a little inappropriate for such an elderly person to walk like this after all, so he suggested: "Why don't I drive the clouds over, it will be faster and it won't be tiring."

"oh?"

   It seems that he didn't expect that Mr. Fang looked so young, but he had such abilities. Mr. Miao stopped, turned his head and looked at Fang Chang for a moment, and said with a smile:

   "That would be wonderful."

So Fang Chang cast two simple spells of "Why should we meet each other before?" so that the two people would not be noticed by the pedestrians around, and then he stood up on the cloud and said to Miao Zhenyun: "Please go to the cloud, Mr. Miao. "

  Fang Chang’s cloud head is already very fast now. Although he has not reached the realm of the legendary “Twilight Tour in the North Sea”, it took only half an hour for Mr. Miao to travel five hours at the speed of Mr. Miao.

  Pressing the cloud head outside Nangang City, Fang Chang looked around for a while.

  The strange scene is more obvious here, and he can even see some cracks here. Slightly different breaths gushed out from the cracks, in clusters, like ink stains smudged on rice paper. Similarly, there is also the breath of the world rushing into it, and I don't know what will happen on the other side.

The only good thing is that this complex environment seems to be an inaccessible dangerous place for the creatures on the other side, so nothing can come through the cracks, and this kind of cracks is difficult for ordinary people and even those with insufficient cultivation. Say, not visible at all.

  For example, Mr. Miao next to him turned a blind eye to this terrifying scene.

   "Let's go into the city." Mr. Miao said, "But it's a bit early, so find a place to stay for a while and wait for someone by the way."

  Chang Fang is very experienced in this matter. He took Mr. Miao, found a teahouse, ordered a pot of scented tea, and chatted with Mr. Miao about gossip. Fang Chang in the middle also asked: "Mr. Miao came to Nangang City, what kind of person is he looking for?"

"Well, he's just an ordinary person. He works as an official in the yamen." Mr. Miao said, sipping his tea lightly. The depression moved the City God, so I showed up to see it."

   "This little official used to be a prodigal son. Later, because of family affairs, he suddenly changed his mind and began to live an honest life. Because he can write and count, he also inherited a clerical job in the yamen."

"In this kind of position, you can always see too much injustice and too much darkness. Originally, according to his dissolute temperament, he would not pay attention to these things, but after he changed his mind, his heart became softer, and he couldn't stand it. , and unable to change, so I came to Chenghuang to complain."

"We are also friends who have forgotten the years. We often exchange letters. Someone has entered the New Territories. I just heard what he said in the letter. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it. Until today, I heard you mention this matter, Mr. Fang , I realized I should look into this.”

  Outside the window, there are many pedestrians on the street, and the dense areas are constantly changing with the sun and wind. From the teahouse, you can see the county government office. Now the sun has set to the west, and there is very little overtime work these years, so the county government also sounded the gongs and drums to get off work.

   "It's time." Mr. Miao said, and then he took Fang Chang and walked towards the gate of the county government office.

   "Hey, Aunt Miao, why are you here?" Fang Chang and Mr. Miao stood more conspicuously, and from the side door of the county government office, from time to time officials came out with luggage. One of the tall and high-spirited little officials, after seeing the people here, was very surprised and said to the other elders.

   "I came here specially for you." Mr. Miao said to the little official, "There are some things that need your assistance."

There was a look of embarrassment on his face, and he didn't know if he was worried that Mr. Miao's request would be too embarrassing, but thinking of Mr. Miao's character, the little official calmed down, bowed and replied: "But I have an entrustment, I will never dare resign."

   "It's not a big deal." Mr. Miao said with a smile, "Didn't you mention a liar in your letter before? Mr. Fang next to me and I have something to ask him, please help introduce him."

   "Oh, him, that's no problem, just leave it to me." Hearing Miao Zhenyun's request, the little official felt relieved immediately, so he agreed wholeheartedly. After all, for him, a little liar is just a job target, and taking them to find them is neither against the law nor against public order and good customs.

  Walking on the road, Mr. Miao smiled at the little official:

   "Now it seems that your spirit is much stronger than before. It seems that business affairs have been going well recently?"

   "That's not true." Speaking of this, the clerk immediately opened his mouth, "The new dynasty and new atmosphere, plus the change of the immediate boss, everything is much better than before."

   "At the beginning, I really couldn't see the past, but I couldn't do anything. At that time, I thought every day, if I didn't inherit this position, I would go through the market with my brothers like before and fight against injustice. Although the idea is simple, it would be so satisfying."

   "Now I finally don't have to think about those things anymore. Although I am busy every day, I can feel at ease and enjoy my work. It's a good day."

   While speaking, several people had come to a residence.

  There is not even a yard here, just a row of one-story houses of different styles, with some bamboo poles erected outside, which seem to be used to tie ropes to dry clothes. The little official went to a door, raised his hand to pat it, and shouted: "Ximen Crane, Ximen Crane, come out quickly."

  The door creaked open, but it was a woman who came out. Seeing the yamen uniform on the petty official, he felt a little uneasy: "The official is not here, he... went out."
