Chapter 49: House Purchase Yellow Book
"What a trouble." Zhao Xing said secretly.
The Xuantian Sect is like psoriasis. It’s useless to remove a few strongholds. It won’t hurt at all.
Even though the Great Zhou later put down the chaos in Guangling Prefecture, the Xuantian Sect behind it was not seriously damaged at all, and it had not yet truly entered the world.
"The information on the almanac is not enough to report, and it is easy for the Xuantian Sect to sense something unusual. They might think I am a genius and keep an eye on me even more."
"I can't afford to offend, but can I avoid it?"
Zhao Xing put away the almanac for warding off evil and decided to stay away from it.
He had no idea when the Xuantian sect would take action. It might take a few years, or it might be next month. In any case, he had to be careful and not give them any chances. He would be able to avoid this storm and it would be over.
What if you really can't avoid it?
"Don't push me. If you push me too hard, I'll even dig up your mountain gate..."
The head of Sanwan Hall is looking at the intelligence.
Because the protector had raised the priority of capturing Zhao Xing, he also attached great importance to this goal and spent more energy observing and summarizing Zhao Xing's living habits, personality, travel patterns, etc.
But after half a month, there was very little effect.
No chance at all!
"This guy is so strange. Others only go to the three places: the Ministry of Agriculture, home, and the public land area. But he is different. He just walks around here and sits in that house every day. He never has the chance to be alone. Otherwise, he stays at home all day and never goes out."
"He is too idle. Doesn't he need to go out of town to work?"
The head of Sanwan Hall was very puzzled, because he could not find any pattern just by looking at the paper materials.
The woman who played the role of the wife of the Sanwan Hall Master came over and took a look at the note, then smiled and said, "His teacher is Xue Wenzhong, so it's not his turn to do the chores, so it's normal for him not to leave the city, so naturally he has less time than the other petty officials."
"He doesn't leave the city, so we can't learn more. It's quite inconvenient for our secret agents to operate in the city."
"Take your time, but at least we can see something in this half moon."
"Which point?"
"I like visiting people."
"..."
The head of Sanwan Hall was speechless. What kind of characteristic was this?
"At least it proves that he is someone who loves to join in the fun. Now that we can't find an opportunity, we can take our time. The guardian also said there's no need to rush." The woman comforted.
"That's true. The guardians will report the truth. Anyway, Autumn Festival is about to start, so we should stop watching him in the city and try to keep him in the suburbs. We should reduce the force to avoid being caught by the government."
Zhao Xing wanted to buy a house, and it should be outside the city.
"Why do you want to buy a house? Don't you want to live at home?" Zhao Ruide was puzzled. "Even if you want to move out, you should buy a house in the city. Why buy one outside the city?"
"Houses outside the city are not expensive, and I don't plan to renovate them. Just having a place to stay is enough." Zhao Xing said, "The duty of the agricultural official is to encourage farming. If you need to stay outside the city sometimes, it is always better to have your own house and plot of land."
“Then why buy so much?”
Seeing Zhao Xing silent, Zhao Ruide stopped asking questions. He knew that his adopted son always had his own ideas. "I'll take care of it for you."
"Foster father, make sure my name is on the official yellow book." Zhao Xing reminded.
"Don't worry." Zhao Ruide nodded.
The official almanac and the Yellow Book are known as the "double yellow treasures" of the dynasty.
While Emperor Taizu of Zhou passed on all kinds of Dharma, he also established all kinds of Dharma, such as "Only the people of our dynasty are allowed to practice cultivation."
If you don’t register as a resident, you are not a citizen of the Zhou Dynasty, and you can’t even practice cultivation.
For example: 'Do not enter the owner's land without permission.'
What does it mean? The yellow books (land deeds) of local governments will register the property rights of various types of houses.
As long as they are listed in the Yellow Book, practitioners who know magic cannot break into other people's homes without an invitation and will be protected by the power of law.
No matter how powerful your magic is, as long as the dynasty system has not declined, it is difficult to hurt a law-abiding citizen who stays at home.
The premise is law-abiding citizens.
There are several situations in which someone can bring in uninvited with a full set of magic spells.
First, the host invited you in.
Second, the authorities suspect that you have committed a crime and have a formal search and arrest warrant.
Third, if there is a property rights dispute over a house or plot of land, it will be in a "temporary invalid state" in the treasure's "yellow book".
Fourth, 'good magic', magic that is beneficial to the owner of the house can take effect inside.
Therefore, there are limits on what the followers of Xuantian Sect can do in the city, and it is impossible for them to kidnap people in the city.
"Reduce the number of times I go out of the city. If I have to go out of the city, I must find a place where I can stay with the property I own. This way, the possibility of being kidnapped will be reduced." Zhao Xing said to himself.
Dealing with Xuantian Sect? It was difficult for him to do so now, and he didn't want to cause trouble. But he had too many ways to hide.
Because he had briefly joined the Xuantian Sect in his previous life, he was familiar with the operations of the Xuantian Sect.
However, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Even if there is an almanac to ward off evil and a token to transmit messages over a thousand miles, and a lot of preparations have been made, it is not completely safe.
"We can't expect the government to kill all these people. We still have to become stronger ourselves."
A few days before the Bailu test, Zhao Xing reached the third level of Juyuan.
After that, take a Tianyuan pear every two days, and your vitality will increase rapidly.
The 10 Juyuan Pills given by Young Master Zong had a moderate and peaceful effect and could be used together with the Tianyuan Pears, so in less than half a month, Zhao Xing was already close to the fourth level of Juyuan.
In the eyes of the head of Sanwan Hall, Zhao Xing loves to be lively and visits people everywhere. In fact, he is following Chen Shijie's advice and seeking out colleagues to discuss and improve his digestion of Yuan Qi treasures and increase his speed of gathering Yuan Qi.
However, over the past few days, Zhao Xing discovered that most of the minor officials in the Sinongjian were unable to withstand the pressure.
In terms of Si Nong's magic, there are indeed few officials who can give Zhao Xing the strength he deserves.
He originally wanted to find the old Sinong to practice with, but considering that the old Sinong was old and had to instruct so many students and handle official business, he gave up the idea.
Finally, Chen Shijie gave a suggestion: "You want to promote the digestion of treasures through magic confrontation, you don't have to look for it from the Sinong Supervisor. How about this, I will go to the county government to see if there is any suitable person."
Warrior? That's a good idea.
There are three types of military agencies directly under the county government: the Wubanfang, the Xunjiansi, and the Sikouwei. People generally refer to these three as the Wusi.
The catchers and warriors in the Wubanfang were like the minor clerks in the Si Nong, all of whom were non-staff officials and not of official rank. Only a few Wusi were official officials of official rank.
The Inspection Office is staffed entirely by high-ranking warriors, and their number is small. Depending on the specifications of the county, the full staffing ranges from thirty to one hundred people.
The Sikouwei is in charge of prisons and also has considerable combat power, because after the catchers and martial artists in the Wubanfang are promoted, they can choose to join the Sikouwei or the Xunjiansi.
In addition, there are troops stationed in Donghu Lake. Although they are not under the jurisdiction of civil officials, the county magistrate can request assistance when necessary.
That afternoon, Chen Shijie found Wu Si Wang Long and borrowed someone from his command.
When they met, Zhao Xing discovered that he actually knew this person.
"Brother Shen?"
