The villain helps me build infrastructure

The most talked about thing in Qingzhou recently, apart from their new Ziyu, is that someone in the qi refining class finally succeeded in refining qi.

Since last winter, the qi refining class has been held. It has been more than half a year, and there has been no movement. Ordinary people have gradually changed from having to ask every day to almost forgetting about this matter.

They just said, cultivating immortality is not so easy, even if you have spiritual roots, it is extremely difficult, and you can't refine qi if you want to.

As a result, when everyone in the qi refining class was about to lose confidence in themselves, Xiaoshi actually broke through.

He was still ignorant, if it wasn't for his breakthrough in class, he probably wouldn't even be aware that he had practiced Qi.

The news spread to the City Lord's Mansion immediately, and Su Qiuyan was also alarmed.

"Refining Qi at the age of four?" Su Qiuyan said, "It's really good."

Before letting children like Xiaoshitou go to school, we didn't actually expect them to be able to refine qi, because the dantian and meridians of young children have not yet matured, and generally they cannot refine qi.

Even if you refine qi, your progress will be very slow afterwards. This is due to the age limit and there is no way around it.

Therefore, many sects and families in the Central Xianlu let their children practice in their teens. Before that, they have been using various secret methods to recuperate the body and lay a solid foundation.

There is very little aura in Qingzhou City, so Su Qiuyan never thought that there would be a child who would succeed in refining qi.

It seems that it still has something to do with the spiritual root. The little stone is a double spiritual root. This is already a very good qualification in the current Xianlu. In addition, it has been nourished by the spirit beast meat for a few months, and it goes to the hot spring from time to time. When the aura is sufficient, it will break through.

But it's not a big problem. Refining Qi early can also nourish the body. When you are in your teens, the speed of cultivation will naturally increase.

Xie Ang didn't know the key to this, and sighed: "He has dual spiritual roots, and he has already refined Qi at such a young age, which is really rare!"

Su Qiuyan nodded: "Well, bring him to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow, and I will meet him."

On the other side of Qingyuan, Liu Cai has already sent away the fifth wave of guests.

Ever since Xiao Shitou succeeded in refining qi, people who came to their house to see strange things, congratulate them, and gossip one after another, and the curfew has not stopped.

As the main character, Xiao Shitou, of course, couldn't rest. He sat on a chair with his head nodding, and he was really sleepy. Seeing this, Liu Cai simply stopped opening the door and refused to welcome anyone who came.

She picked up the little stone, wiped his face with the hot water in the pot, and went to the closet to take out the clothes to be worn tomorrow.

"Little stone." She said softly.

Xiao Shitou was woken up by her, and rubbed his eyes: "Mother, what's the matter?"

Liu Cai originally had a lot to say, but seeing her son's sleepy little face, her lips moved, and she just said, "It's nothing, go to sleep, my mother will take you to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow."

Xiao Shitou knew that he was going to the City Lord's Mansion in the afternoon, and he was already excited, but now he was too sleepy and couldn't get excited anymore, so he nodded and rolled into the bed.

Liu Cai sat by the bed for a while, then sighed sadly and happily.

Before dawn the next day, Xiao Shitou got up, and as soon as he regained his energy, he couldn't help snickering on the bed when he thought of meeting the city lord today.

But he knew that Liu Cai was working hard, so he didn't dare to make a sound, only dared to hide in the bed and roll around.

Liu Cai didn't sleep well all night, and woke up when she heard the sound.

The two of them grinned as they looked at each other.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Su Qiuyan was telling Qin Yue: "Let the kitchen cook something that children love to eat."

Qin Yue smiled and said: "The city lord said yesterday that the kitchen has made several desserts today, all of which are sweet, and children should love them."

Su Qiuyan nodded: "I've seen that child's father, but it's just a step late."

Thinking about it now, I also feel extremely sad.

Qin Yue said: "I also remember Uncle Li, Xiaoshi and him are like printed from the same mold."

It's just that Xiao Shitou eats well and sleeps well now, and is fat and cute, but when Uncle Li passed away, he was skinny and boned.

Speaking of the deceased, Su Qiuyan thought about the cemetery again: "In the past, people in Qingzhou who died were buried in random places. In the future, we still have to build a cemetery."

After he came to Qingzhou, several people in Qingzhou also died, all of them were so weak that they couldn't make up for it, so they were buried with the help of people they knew nearby.

Including those who died in the mine before, they were all buried in one place, but the burial was sloppy, without even a tombstone.

Qin Yue wrote down this matter, and after the two of them had breakfast, Liu Cai came with Xiaoshi.

The first time Xiao Shitou entered the city lord's mansion, he felt that his eyes were not enough, but he also remembered that Liu Cai told him not to look around, so his whole tangled face wrinkled.

So what Su Qiuyan saw was a wrinkled bun face.

In the study, Liu Cai and Xiao Shitou immediately stood up when they saw Su Qiuyan coming in.

Liu Cai was nervous and cramped, and didn't know where to put his hands. Little Shitou was more courageous. He still remembered that Su Qiuyan had hugged him, so he said excitedly, "Little Shitou has seen the city lord!"

Su Qiuyan was still very patient with children, bent down and said, "Hi, little stone."

Xiao Shitou became even more excited, his entire face and ears were red from excitement.

Qin Yue also nodded to Liu Cai.

After the four of them sat down, Liu Cai stammered: "Thank you, the city lord, for your concern for Xiao Shitou, we, we..."

She had a lot of things she wanted to say in her mind, but when it was time to say them, she couldn't speak them clumsily.

She wanted to say, thank the city lord for saving her husband and allowing her husband's body to be buried, thank the city lord for allowing Xiao Shitou to go to kindergarten and qi refining class, thank the city lord for allowing them to live in the house they are today, and have enough food and clothing She wanted to say too much, but she didn't know what to say first.

Su Qiuyan broke the siege and said, "You're welcome, I invited you over today mainly to see how Xiao Shitou is doing."

When Xiao Shitou heard his name, his back straightened even more.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside, and Su Qiuyan said "come in", and Wan Jie came in with a few plates of dim sum.

Little Shitou couldn't help turning his head, and saw those snacks at a glance.

He had never eaten snacks, so he didn't know what it was, but what he smelled in his nose was a strong milky fragrance, which stimulated his mouth to start to secrete saliva.

Children can't hide any emotions, so Xiao Shitou's waist collapsed, his eyes wandered, and even those two short legs moved slightly.

Especially when the snacks were placed on the table on his right, he was almost about to rebel—he couldn't help but take his attention away from his favorite city lord!

Seeing this, Su Qiuyan also smiled: "Eat, this is originally prepared for you."

In addition to snacks, there is also a cup of tea to relieve tiredness.

Xiao Shitou's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but he still hesitated and said, "Can I eat it?"

The teacher had taught him to be polite when he was a guest. He didn't know if it was impolite to eat snacks.

Su Qiuyan smiled again: "Let's eat, we'll talk about other things after eating."

Liu Cai looked at Qin Yue hesitantly, Qin Yue nodded, so Liu Cai also said: "Then eat."

Little Shitou happily picked up a piece of snack immediately, and couldn't help but widen his eyes as soon as he ate it.

This thing was soft and sweet, with a milky aroma, he had never eaten such a delicious thing.

Su Qiuyan looked at the little stone with puffy cheeks like a little squirrel with a good temper, and his mood improved.

Qin Yue smiled when he saw this, he knew that the city lord liked children, otherwise he wouldn't have ordered the kitchen to make snacks yesterday, and he wouldn't have gone to help every child check their bodies on the opening day of the kindergarten.

It's just that the city lord, because of his special status, was afraid that getting too close to these children would cause them trouble, so he simply didn't get close. Today is a rare opportunity.

The little stone man has a small belly, so he was full after eating two pieces of snacks. He reluctantly swept away the remaining snacks. At such a young age, he actually felt a rare melancholy in his heart.

Seeing this, Su Qiuyan said, "Let's take the rest home and eat later."

Little Stone was happy again when he heard this.

After wrapping up the snacks, we finally got to the point.

Su Qiuyan stood up and said, "Let me see the situation of Xiaoshi first."

Xiaoshi also jumped out of the chair nervously.

Su Qiu extended his hand and grabbed Xiao Shishi's wrist.

The spiritual power gently penetrated into the body, but Xiaoshi was still shivering from the cold.

After Su Qiuyan found out what was going on in Xiao Shitou's body, he quickly withdrew his hand.

He said to Liu Cai: "The little stone has indeed refined Qi, and there is nothing serious about his body."

"It's just that he is still young, so he is not suitable for practicing too advanced exercises. He still focuses on body training. After his meridians grow, we will talk about Qi training."

Liu Cai became a little nervous when she heard the words: "Then, if he practices Qi now, will it be bad for his body?"

Su Qiuyan said: "This is not possible."

In fact, the time of refining Qi is not very important, what is important is the speed of cultivation after refining Qi, with Xiaoshi's qualifications, if he cultivates well, it is not difficult to step into the golden elixir.

Besides, the body training he mentioned, at this stage, is nothing more than physical exercise.

As soon as he explained, Liu Cai understood.

"In the future, if you have any problems with your cultivation, Xiao Shitou can come to the City Lord's Mansion." Su Qiuyan said, "It's just that you don't need to force the seedlings to grow, just let nature take its course."

Liu Cai nodded, and asked again: "Does Xiaoshi still need to go to the Qi training class now?"

Su Qiuyan said: "The qi refining class talks mostly about basic knowledge, and there is no harm in going to Xiao Shitou."

Afterwards, he told Liu Cai a lot of things, and finally said: "Little Shito refines Qi, you should also tell his father."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Cai was a little surprised. She didn't expect the city lord to remember her husband.

Shitou's father was buried carelessly on a slope in the outer city at that time.

She had planned to take Xiaoshi with her today.

It's just that so long has passed, and I don't know if Xiaoshitou still remembers where his father is buried.

Her mood was inevitably depressed.

Just as she was thinking about this, she heard Su Qiuyan say, "I was negligent before and didn't think about erecting a monument in the cemetery."

"In the past, people who passed away in Qingzhou were buried hastily. Except for those who buried them, no one else would know who was buried there."

"I think these people died for Qingzhou, and they should leave their names, so I plan to have the cemetery refurbished and tombstones be erected for all the dead."

The conditions in Qingzhou City are indeed not good. Even if the cemetery is repaired, it must be very simple, but at least there must be a tombstone, otherwise what is the difference from the exposed corpse wilderness?

Resting in the ground is safe, and fallen leaves return to their roots. After living a lifetime, there should be a place to sleep.

Liu Cai was taken aback for a moment, but a sour feeling rose in her throat when she realized it.

Everyone in Qingzhou is dead when they die, because death is too easy and too common, and it is a blessing to be buried in the ground, and many people don't even have complete bones.

She was lucky, as soon as the city lord came, he sent someone to send back her husband's body, and even asked for a proper burial.

But Qingzhou didn't have the habit of erecting monuments for the dead. How could the living still care about the dead?

Isn't she too?Busy going to the mine, busy taking care of Xiao Shitou, busy earning more contribution points, only occasionally think of her husband, and want to visit him again.

It's just that the soil slope has experienced winter snow and spring rain, and the wood she inserted there has long since rotted. If she hadn't searched carefully, she might not even be able to find the place where her husband was buried.

If there were tombstones...

Liu Cai's throat became more sour.

With that monument, when she gets old and can't remember things, she can also find out where her husband is.

Even after she dies, Little Shitou will not forget her.

When Xiao Shitou also passes away, their descendants will not forget it.

As long as someone still remembers this tombstone and can find this tombstone, they can occasionally remember that there was such a person who lived in Qingzhou.

When she died, she would be buried with her husband, tombstone by tombstone, as if they were always together in the past.

She choked slightly and said, "Thank you, City Lord!"

Su Qiuyan said: "Let's leave this matter to you. Those who have been buried before can erect monuments, and there is no need to move them."

Liu Cai's eyes were still red when she left, but her steps were fast.

She wanted to take the little stone to the dirt slope of the outer city to have a look and tell her husband the good news.

The matter in the cemetery has touched the hearts of some people, but most of them are still concerned about the matter of refining Qi with small stones.

Xiao Shitou is only a four-year-old child, he has successfully refined Qi, and so can others.

As a result, the people in the Qi refining class have recently gathered a lot of energy.

Lin Lu used to lie down to rest after work, but now he tries to practice in the study as soon as he gets home.

Seeing that the situation of practicing at home is not good, he extravagantly exchanged all the contribution points for the number of times he went to the hot spring.

Not only Lin Lu, but also the people in other qi refining classes.

In the past, they thought that everyone was not good enough, so it was normal for them to not be good, but now even the small stones have successfully induced Qi into the body. If they fail again, wouldn't they be ashamed and thrown to grandma's house?

The news of Xiao Shitou's success in refining qi not only stimulated the people in the qi refining class, but also the people in the hunting team.

Because Yan Cheng really couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

"You guys have been practicing light body art for more than a month, but only half of them have practiced it! Do you know how long it took for Qin Yue of the City Lord's Mansion?! Qin Yue follows the City Lord every day, unlike us, who are always there Fighting with monsters, just like that, he only spent a few days!"

"Nowadays, even a four-year-old child can draw Qi into the body. Take a look at yourself, how much spirit beast meat you have eaten, how many hot springs you have soaked in. If you do not succeed in practicing this light body art, I will report it tomorrow. City Lord, this month, everyone's contribution points will be cut in half!"

As soon as these words came out, all the monks in the hunting team were stunned.

Cutting the contribution points in half, that would be worse than killing them!

Immediately someone said: "Captain, isn't this appropriate?"

Yan Cheng said with a cold face: "There is nothing inappropriate, and I think the city lord will definitely not object."

He had made a cruel move and made up his mind. It was different from the cruel words in the past. He really went to find Su Qiuyan the next day.

Su Qiuyan did the math, and also felt that this light-hearted decision would not take so long.

As soon as he agreed, the monks of the hunting team didn't dare to neglect any more, and at twelve o'clock every day, except for sleeping, they were almost practicing.

They went to the hot springs to practice spiritual energy, and they ate spirit beast meat to cultivate spiritual power. Coupled with Yan Cheng's devil training, they finally managed to master light-body tactics within half a month.

Yan Cheng finally heaved a sigh of relief after making a decisive decision, and the next step was to catch the colorful sparrow.
