"Old Xu, with you, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and I even dare to buy mutton!" A man in coarse linen clothes with a long knife on his waist shouted loudly and came from a distance down the mountain road.

In her hand she was carrying a little boy who had gone down the mountain to buy meat while laughing.

It's just that the little boy no longer has the smile on his face, but looks timid, as if he has done something wrong.

The stall owner who was greeting Wang Wen wiped his hands on the linen cloth, smiled apologetically and said, "The little village manager is joking, there is no business, it's just a convenience for the woodmen who are passing by."

"You still say it's not a business?" The man left the little boy behind and walked to the stall to look at Cassia Seed and Wang Wen. Then he looked at the chicken bones and scones on the table. He looked at the stall owner with a smile on his face and said, "I really don't understand you. A good farmer has to do such shameless things. Is your life so good that you want to double your fortune this year?"

"Don't, don't, don't!" The stall owner was shocked. He quickly turned around and grabbed a handful of copper coins from a hidden part of the wall. He put them into the man's hands to please him and said, "If you don't dare to turn over, you don't dare to turn over. The harvest has been poor in the past few years and I can't afford to pay anymore. I won't be able to survive if I turn over again."

The man known as the "little man" has a bad temper but good eyesight.

When the stall owner was taking money out of the wall, there was a faint flash of golden light and he was caught by the "Little Manager".

Weighing the copper in his hand, the little village head tilted his head and licked his teeth as he looked around at the people sitting at the stall.

Holding the long knife on his waist, he raised his legs and walked towards the corner behind the stall owner.

He opened the cover and started rummaging.

The stall owner's expression changed drastically, and he turned around hurriedly to stop him.

Wang Wen squinted his eyes and watched this scene.

The mental energy dissipated quietly.

The stall owner failed to stop the man after all.

He almost fell over after being pushed, and the money box was also turned out.

The young man opened the money box, and there were only a few copper coins in it. There was no silver light, let alone any golden light.

He frowned.

He casually took out all the coins from the box and stuffed them into his pocket.

The stall owner held the empty box that was thrown back and secretly looked inside and outside the box with a puzzled expression.

The little boy who was ordered to go down the mountain to buy mutton walked up to the stall owner with his mouth flat. He held back his tears without saying a word and held on to his trouser legs with empty hands.

Needless to say, the meat was definitely not available.

I don't know whose pocket the money went into.

The little lieutenant who found only a few copper coins was obviously not very satisfied.

He walked to the stall and asked Wang Wen: "How much does the roast chicken cost?"

Wang Wen hasn't spoken yet.

The stall owner responded quickly, "I don't have any money, just to fill my stomach."

"Oh, you don't have enough pancakes to fill your stomach, but you still need to roast chicken and buy mutton?" The man held his knife angrily and reprimanded loudly. "Old man, are you paying less and less attention to me? Are you talking nonsense in front of me? I'm stupid?"

The stall owner looked bitter.

He kept saying that he didn't dare.

Wang Wen glanced at the aircraft.

He frowned.

He said unhappily, "It's strange that an official these days cares about the world but also cares about people's eating, drinking and farting?"

Zhu Xingguo saw the master speak and immediately followed up and echoed, "That's right! Does the old man have any roast chicken? Another one whose stomach is not full!"

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then cautiously responded, "Hey, okay, I'll go cook it right away."

The young man holding the knife took a few steps away with a crooked eyebrow and a sideways look.

Look carefully at Wang Wen and others.

He didn't see any obvious weapons, so he smiled reassuringly, "It looks pretty strange, isn't it? Don't you be some rogue gangster who is causing harm to the village? Come with me and check your identity!"

Wang Wen raises his hand to crush the head.

It doesn't matter whether it's progress or not.

Cassia Seed, however, quickly pressed down on Wang Wen.

The other hand held down Zhu Xingguo, which was already ready to move.

Seeing that Ren Ruanruan on the other side was about to make a move, he quickly stood up and said to the man, "You're polite, I am Cassia Seed, a disciple of the Little Steed Cloud Sect on the mountain. These few are distinguished guests of our sect. I have specially invited you to go up the mountain to meet the master. I hope it will be convenient for you."

"Little Steed Cloud Sect?" The man looked at Cassia Seed suspiciously for a while.

In the end, he muttered the words "A bunch of pretenders, the Imperial Master will kill you sooner or later" and turned around to go down the mountain and leave.

Wang Wen looked at the opponent's back with a blank expression.

A flick of the finger.

A small ball of light as big as a soybean flew into the back of the opponent's head.

The man scratched his head unconsciously and continued walking down the mountain until his figure disappeared on the horizon.

Cassia Seed was next to Wang Wen and could see his little movements clearly.

Although he couldn't see the ball of light, he already regarded Wang Wen as a powerful master in his heart. At a glance, he knew that the man who came down the mountain would not live long.

He sighed helplessly, looked around carefully, and explained in a low voice, "The master is like a reclusive master who does not care about worldly affairs. The master has said that monsters are in power in the world now. We, the people, try to avoid conflicts with the officials so as not to give others the leverage to send out troops to exterminate them."

Wang Wen smiled and was too lazy to speak.

Zhu Xingguo was on such a high tower for the first time. He was somewhat interested in the large-scale level environment and asked curiously, "Monster? Is it that snake-like guy? Are you going to send troops to help it withstand it?"

Cassia Seed patiently explained the world situation to Zhu Xingguo.

Wang Wen was not interested in understanding the world view of the level. He turned around and waved to the little boy with pursed lips and red eyes, and said, "What's your name?"

The little boy asked questions when he saw the "distinguished guest".

First, he turned to look at the old man who was cooking food in the room.

Then he timidly replied, "I don't have a word yet. Grandpa likes to call me Dull Boy."

"Dull Boy.." Wang Wen looked at him speechlessly and asked hesitantly, "Do you know what is the most valuable?"

"The most valuable?" Dull Boy was stunned.

Wang Wen kindly reminded, "What is more valuable than gold? If you are right, I will give you gold, okay?"

Dull Boy said blankly, "Good land?"

Hear this answer.

Wang Wen knew that he would never get the answer he wanted.

The environment of this level is too bad.

It's better to hurry up and go to other tower floors to try your luck.

Think about it this way.

It was particularly urgent to see the brainwashing master.

After all, I heard Cassia Seed say that things like the snake at the beginning were all training given by Master.

To slay demons and demons, you must have a specific target, and you cannot kill them randomly.

So Wang Wen urged Cassia Seed to set off.

Before leaving, he took Zhu Xingguo and quietly "made" two gold coins. One was given to Dull Boy and told him to hide it and not expose it, and the other was put into the stall owner's money box.

The one made with mental power has dissipated.

This time these two are real.

It is real gold that will not dissipate into thin air.

The four of them were back on the road.

Climb all the way to the top of the mountain where clouds and mist pass through you.

In front of you are the stone steps and the majestic mountain gate made of lacquered wood at the end of the winding stone steps.

Cassia Seed came forward and knocked on the door.

A child in coarse cloth opened the door and when he saw Cassia Seed, he saluted and called "senior brother".

Cassia Seed rubbed the child's head and called Wang Wen and the three of them to go in. They walked all the way through the corridor, corridor and patio to a row of houses built around a wide flat land at the back. Pointing to the two-story building in the center, he said, "Master is inside. The three of you will be back soon after I inform you."

Wang Wen nodded to indicate that he was busy with his work.

Who knows.

this notification.

No one came out until the sun turned to the west.
