More than ten days later,

"Ahem, what is Leyuan County... doing?"

On the mountain road opposite Leyuan County, a young official wearing a green round-neck long-sleeved gown with a horizontal ruffle on the lower train, a leather belt around his waist, a futou, and leather shoes couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.

It's not that he is squeamish, it's just that the smell of cooking in several large pots outside Leyuan County is too terrifying.

Can it not be scary? The raw materials come from pig pens, toilets, caves... The smell in the wind is acceptable to the villagers who are used to it. For the incoming county magistrate, that is the real meaning.

'Poison gas attack' on.

"this···"

Next to the county magistrate in Qingyi was a star official in black straight official uniform, wearing a white mask, hanging a jade pendant on his waist, and carrying a long sword. The scene in front of him also puzzled him, but at a glance, the villagers of Leyuan County came to him.

The comings and goings were sparse but orderly, so it seemed that there must be no accident.

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet the guarding warrior here first."

But it is only temporary. As for whether the other party can be permanently stationed in Leyuan County, that is a matter for the county magistrate next to him.

Behind Xingguan and Qingyi County Magistrate, there followed a book boy carrying a shrine and a porter carrying luggage. These two people were the entourage of the new county magistrate. It can be said that they were extremely simple.

The living conditions in a place like Qianzhong Road are only as miserable as those at Yumen Pass and Jiannan Road. Officials sent by the imperial court die of illness and are assassinated every year. It is really hard for people to be willing to take up their posts in a place like this.

many.

"Oh... some gentlemen!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly——"

When the villagers on the roadside saw the star officials in black clothes and white masks, as well as the young men in blue official uniforms, they stepped aside to give way. No need to ask, just the sonorous and powerful sound of blacksmithing pointed out the direction for them. ωωw.

"Brother Li Yu practices so diligently, which is really admirable."

Hearing the familiar voice coming from outside the blacksmith shop, Li Yu put down the hammer and walked out.

"It's you, who is this?"

"The student's surname is Li Mingping and his courtesy name is Jingzhai. He comes here to take over the post of county magistrate."

The young man in green official uniform stepped forward, crossed his hands and saluted Li Yu with a very low attitude.

This world is full of extraordinary things. Strange people and strangers who laugh proudly at princes are not uncommon in history books. Even those who do not give the emperor face are there. There is no need to make enemies just because of verbal disputes. Besides: Qingluo was standing beside me on the way here.

The star officer of the company has already hinted to him to find a way to let this 'Li Yu' guard this place.

In a place like Qianzhong Road with mountains and forests and very inconvenient transportation, officials would have died without the support of force.

Such as his ex!

"I don't know where Mr. is from. You and I both share the surname Li. It's still unclear whether we had the same origin a hundred years ago?"

"Ahem,"

Seeing the Qingyi County Magistrate preparing to tell his age, Li Yu coughed dryly. Although his surname was Li, he was not related to the Li family in this world...

"Magistrate Li, go and gather the village elders first and ask them to welcome the new 'City God' into the City God's Temple."

The atmosphere became awkward on the spot, and the masked star officer came out to smooth things over.

"But it was the student who was negligent. Please excuse me."

After bowing and saying goodbye, this young man, who was quite rigid in every move, left with two servants: in the shrine behind his book boy was the newly conferred ‘City God’ by the imperial court.

After he leads the residents here to welcome the new City God into the City God's Temple, ordinary mountain spirits, wild monsters, evil ghosts and evil cultivators will not dare or can no longer cause trouble in Leyuan County!

“Brother Li Yu, please don’t take offense, you are a scholar~~”

The masked star officer pointed in the direction of his temple, and Li Yu also smiled and shook his head.

“It’s okay,”

As long as the county magistrate does not hinder Li Yu's cultivation, he will naturally not take the initiative to make enemies with him.

"Speaking of which, Brother Li Yu's strength has improved a lot compared to before he left last time. It's true that a hero comes from a young age."

The star officer under the mask glanced at Li Yu and couldn't help but sigh.

"With your speed, you should be able to break through to the 'C-level median' soon, right?"

"Can you see my strength?"

Li Yu couldn't help but ask. He thought he was not a very wise person, he could hear all kinds of information from other people's words, and he could also guide the other person to tell them what he wanted to know. For Li Yu: No

If you understand, just ask!

···

"That's right, you have just become a warrior."

The masked star officer raised his hand to touch his forehead, but ended up tapping his mask.

"We, the Great Zhou people, all gain strength through cultivation."

"The major sects in the world have made a lot of divisions with different emphasis: for example, the 'Craftsman Way' that you follow mainly focuses on making magic weapons, and then there is the 'Armor Way' that has been spread to the military, and there are also cultivation

The 'Sword Immortal Way' of swordsmanship, the 'Ghost Controlling Way' of controlling ghosts, and even the 'Extraordinary Fire Way' of controlling fire, etc..."

After saying that, the Mask Star official changed his tone.

"But these are just appearances!"

"If a person has talent, hard work, and enough time, he can even master all the secrets of Tao. Of course, such people are rare throughout history."

As Li Yu listened carefully, the masked star official talked eloquently.

"So, how to evaluate a person's strength?"

Any civilization will produce such things as 'levels': even in Li Yu's previous life, there were various examinations, department levels, department levels... Because a mature civilization must quantify the individual abilities in society so that others can

Man clearly knows how capable he is: especially in this extraordinary world.

When the people of Qingluosi go to quell the ghost problem, the intelligence department cannot tell them in general terms that 'the thieves are very dangerous', 'there is nothing to fear from this beast', etc. You must know that once you encounter a powerful enemy that exceeds your strength, that is

The group is destroyed!

So grading is necessary.

"Whether it is a warrior, a monk, or a monster, there are six aspects that affect its strength."

Mask Star Officer gave Li Yu popular science:

"Physique, energy, skill, treasure, view, and luck."

"The so-called body naturally refers to physique: the difference between ordinary people and rabbits and tigers is the difference in physique. A strong physique can not only make people fight endlessly, but also resist the effects of various spells: except for some attacks on the soul.

Abilities, most of the spells are just an extension of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

Li Yu nodded, which is easy to understand.

"I won't talk about Qi: Xuan Zong of Heaven and Earth, the root of Wan Qi. I will practice it for hundreds of millions of kalpas and prove my magical power!"

"Whether they are warriors or monks, or even those evil sects, demons and ghosts, they all also have 'Qi', and Qi is the foundation for launching various spells."

Only when you have mastered 'Qi' can you take the first and most important step in spiritual practice.

"After having Qi, everyone will naturally study how to use Qi effectively: either strengthening the body, using Qi to leverage the power of heaven and earth, or using formations to communicate with ghosts and gods, these are all 'skills'. For example, your 'melting'

After you really get started with the Golden Iron Smelting Hands, you can ignite blazing flames on your palms and smelt weapons with your bare hands."

It is by passing on the fire from generation to generation, constantly innovating and developing a large number of skills that human beings can defeat the demons, expel hundreds of ghosts, and stand proudly in the Central Plains.

"A person's energy in life is limited. In many cases, you cannot do both, whether you are practicing physical training or cultivating skills. At the same time, many 'skills' have extremely harsh activation conditions, so we humans have invented various weapons, magic weapons, and even magic weapons.

These things have also become part of the strength, and in many cases can turn defeat into victory!"

Li Yu deeply believed in this: For example, during the black ghost wave some time ago, if he fought with bare hands: the 'corpse hyena' and 'painted skin' alone would be enough for him to drink a pot.

The damage caused by fists to ordinary people, even Li Yu and Winnie, is still far inferior to that of swords. If someone on the other side hadn't added a 'fire BUFF' to Li Yu, it would be difficult for him to kill the giant tiger: Light

If there is a ghost in the other party, it will be a big problem.

"Then there's viewing,"

The masked star officer pointed to his eyes...or rather, the mask.

"After training, we can see the intensity of other people's Qi. This is the skill called 'viewing'."

"Although there is nothing strange about this technique, it is independently regarded as one of the six elements to measure strength. The reason is that if you can't even figure out the enemy's details, you are not far from death."

Of course, since the skill of 'observation' is so important, there are naturally corresponding countermeasures: various ways of condensing the aura, disguising and transforming, arranging fog... etc. At that time, it depends on whether the two parties are good at observing or not.

Concealment is stronger.

"By combining these classifications, we can determine what level the target strength should be:"

"The imperial court divided all the warriors, monks, demons and monsters in the world into three major ranks: A, B, and C. At the same time, A and B were divided into upper and lower ranks, while C and so on were divided into upper, middle and lower ranks."

After a long explanation, Xingguan felt a little thirsty and handed a package to Li Yu, ready to drink some water and take a rest.

"Here is your bounty, as well as the 'Craftsman's Way' knowledge that I exchanged for you."
