I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Chapter 280: Evil spirit

Views:

"Bei Ran, you have passed the customs."

Covering the meeting hall of Yuezong, Tai Ying greeted Jiang Beiran warmly when he saw Jiang Beiran coming in.

"I've met the leader Yin, Prime Minister Tai Zuo, and Cang Huyin."

After Jiang Beiran finished his salute, Yin Jianghong said, "I didn't feel anything when you were here, but you suddenly disappeared for three months, which really makes me feel that the Sheng Kingdom cannot do without you."

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said, "Master Yin is joking. Fengzhou and even Shengguo are controlled by a few people here. I am just assisting from the side, but I can't afford such a compliment."

"You're stupid, come here quickly, there are a lot of things waiting for you to solve." Leader Yin waved at Jiang Beiran.

When he came to the table, Jiang Beiran first picked up a piece of hemp paper and looked at it, and then praised: "This paper is of good quality, who made it?"

Tai Yingzong glanced at it and replied: "Isn't it from your palace refining workshop, this paper is really easy to use, unlike the previous ones, which are difficult to write and difficult to preserve."

Looking at the hemp paper over and over for a while, Jiang Beiran thought to himself that this was just the beginning. From his point of view, rice paper was the most ideal white paper.

However, judging from the current progress of hemp paper, as long as the skilled craftsmen in the palace are given enough time and resources, it should only be a matter of time before Xuan paper can be made.

"Speaking of this paper." Yin Jianghong suddenly took out a banknote from his waist and patted it on the table, "The bank you planned has already been built, but imitations appeared as soon as the banknote entered the market. If things go on like this, I'm afraid It’s harder to deal with than minting private coins.”

Of course, Jiang Beiran had thought about "counterfeit banknotes". When making the banknotes, he ordered the words "Fake counterfeiters be executed" to be printed on the banknotes. industry, there are still countless people who take risks.

Now seeing that losing his head really can't threaten these desperadoes, Jiang Beiran picked up the bank note on the table and said, "Don't worry, Hierarch Yin. I've thought about the falsification a long time ago. To prevent the people from forging bank notes, first and foremost The important point is..." Jiang Beiran shook the banknote as he spoke.

"The paper on which bank notes are printed."

Taking a random piece of hemp paper from the table, Jiang Beiran compared the two pieces of paper together and said: "The most common hemp paper is used for bank notes nowadays, and it is difficult to distinguish them. Improve a kind of paper called mulberry paper, and when the mulberry paper is completely improved, the ink rhyme of the bank notes printed on this paper will be distinct, and the difference between it and ordinary hemp paper can be seen at a glance."

"Then what if this kind of paper is also imitated?" Tai Yingzong asked beside him.

"First of all, it is difficult to learn the craft of this kind of paper. At the same time, I will strictly monitor the raw materials needed and prohibit private procurement."

Nodding her head, Yin Jianghong said: "Ha! The deity said that once you come out, this problem will definitely be solved, but there is a contingency in everything. What if the mulberry paper you mentioned is finally faked?"

"That's okay. Bank notes are the foundation of the country. I have thought of a lot of anti-counterfeiting methods, such as micro-patterns. As the name suggests, print patterns that are completely invisible to the naked eye on bank notes. It is difficult for people to imitate. The next thing is to frequently change the pattern. version, which greatly increases the difficulty for those speculators to forge, as well as the original watermark... anti-counterfeit seal... anti-counterfeit notes and other methods, in short, it is enough to discourage those speculators."

Tai Yingzong shook his head when he heard that, and said with satisfaction: "In this way, forgery can indeed be eliminated to the greatest extent, okay, okay!"

Although these powerhouses trade with spirit stones most of the time, the daily operations of the sect, distribution of rewards to disciples, and various large-scale transactions between sects inevitably require money.

However, because the currency of Sheng Kingdom was very chaotic in the past, and the depreciation phenomenon was extremely serious, this caused most practitioners to exchange things for things, which was very inconvenient.

Nowadays, the emergence of bank notes can make the transactions between practitioners more flexible, which is definitely a good thing.

"As expected of our wise and mighty Majesty, the big problem will be solved once you leave the customs, this venerable..."

Halfway through Yin Jianghong's words, her eyes suddenly widened, and she and Tai Yingzong flew out of the window at the same time.

'This is... what it feels like! ? '

Although Jiang Beiran didn't fly out with Yin Jianghong and the others, he understood why the three of them reacted so strongly, because he just sensed an inexplicable evil spirit coming, and the reason why he said that the evil spirit was inexplicable was because he couldn't judge the emission at all. The one who emitted this evil spirit was either a human or a demon, regardless of his cultivation level, he only felt a bone-piercing coldness, the kind that reached the depths of his soul.

Jiang Beiran has seen many strong men this year, but none of them can give him this feeling, not even Yan Guangqing who is in Xuanzun Realm.

"Hoo..."

Taking two deep breaths, Jiang Beiran finally calmed down the depression in his heart, and at the same time six options appeared in front of him.

[Option 1: Find the Ksitigarbha True Crystal within three years. Completion Reward: Jade Fallen Immortal Scroll (Heaven-Level Low Grade)]

[Option 2: Find the Ksitigarbha True Crystal and Mahayana Secret Water within three years. Completion Reward: Mingxin Illusion (Earth-level Top Grade)]

[Option 6: Find Earth Store True Crystal, Mahayana Secret Water, Jingtianyan, Liangyi Secret Feather, Zhan Ri Liu within three years, and practice it into an Emperor Gu. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]

'…'

'? ? ? '

Looking at the six options that popped up suddenly, Jiang Bei was stunned. This was the first time he saw the options appear in such a strange way.

'Is this... issuing me a main mission? '

'The system has been upgraded? '

Shaking his head, let alone the weird appearance of the option, its content also made Jiang Beiran feel his scalp tingling.

After Ye Fan, this was Jiang Beiran's second time encountering a sky-level option. Naturally, the difficulty was so high that there was no need to explain it. In addition, the way the options were incremented was also a clear indication.

That is these treasures of heaven and earth, and every time he finds one more, it will make his situation safer.

'But you're such a fucking lion...'

The Ksitigarbha True Crystal, Mahayana Secret Water, and Jingtianyan listed in the options are all top 100 existences on the rare book, and they are a hundred times more valuable than the Bird of Paradise that Shi Fenglan stole from home at the beginning, because the rare book collects all the treasures of the whole continent. Materials and treasures, those who can rank in the top 100, almost every time they move forward, the effect is a qualitative leap.

And the latter Liangyi Miyu and Zhanri Liujiang Beiran have never heard of it. It is very likely that they are secret treasures that have not been discovered or are hidden by some powerful forces. Compared with the previous three It must be high but not low.

As for the last refining of an Emperor Gu, Jiang Beiran was also at a loss.

He thought that King Gu was already the strongest Gu. Even the green Gu that he had snatched from the mysterious arrayer in the miasma before, after careful inspection by Jiang Beiran, he found that it was also at the level of King Gu, but compared to what he had practiced. Those few came to be more powerful, but they definitely did not break through the class.

"It turns out that there are stronger existences above the King Gu..."

Facing this pile of scalp-numbing natural treasures, Jiang Beiran had a rare headache.

Because the options this time are a little different from before.

Among the previous options, as long as it rewards attribute points, it is really simple. Generally, it can be done by saying a word and doing one thing.

But this time the options are completely different. Option six means that he can easily collect these treasures and survive the catastrophe, but it can also be understood as long as he can collect these treasures , can easily and safely survive this catastrophe.

Therefore, the difficulty of collecting these treasures of heaven, material and earth is unknown, and it is a big question mark.

The attribute point option is no longer an absolute safe card option, which is also a complete first experience for Jiang Beiran.

'What the hell is going to happen in three years... an alien invasion! ? '

After sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran's mentality immediately calmed down again. Although these treasures of heaven and earth are still very far away for him now, after all, there are still three full years to prepare. With a clear goal, He still has the confidence to find all these treasures.

After a while, Yin Jianghong and Tai Yingzong flew back from the window, and the expressions of all three were ashen.

After adjusting his emotions, Jiang Beiran showed a curious expression and asked, "I don't know what the three found out?"

Yin Jianghong took a sip of the tea on the table, and then said: "I feel an indescribable evil spirit. Its ferocity is so great that I have never heard of it before."

Tai Yingzong who was on the side also nodded and said: "And I can feel that this evil spirit is coming from a very far away place. It's hard to imagine what the consequences will be if it is directly impacted by this evil spirit."

After listening to the analysis of the evil spirit by the two giants, Jiang Beiran panicked and said, "Is something big going to happen?"

"There must be a major event, but it should not affect the Kingdom of Cheng." After Yin Jianghong finished speaking, she shook her head suddenly: "No, I still have to go and confirm it. You can continue talking about the New Deal." After finishing speaking, she turned and opened the door out.

Tai Ying rubbed the bridge of her nose, debating whether to tell the suzerain about this, but remembering the danger of the evil spirit just now, it's just a decision, it's definitely not something they can interfere with.

After drinking tea to calm his mind, Tai Yingzong continued to chat with Jiang Beiran about the problems encountered during the implementation of the New Deal in the past few months, and Jiang Beiran also gave answers one by one.

But it was clear that both were a little absent-minded.

After sleeping in the Moon Sect for the whole night, Jiang Beiran sat in Xiangyun and returned to the palace early the next morning. The six options made him realize that he might be busy for a while again, and he had to explain more about the affairs of the palace in advance.

He knows very well that the more it is like this, the more calm he has to be, and he has to grasp with both hands and be firm with both hands, and he doesn't want to ruin either side of his hard work.

After falling into the imperial study, Jiang Beiran quickly found Mu Yao.

"See Your Majesty."

Seeing that Mu Yao didn't look abnormal, Jiang Beiran was basically sure that only high-quality strong people could feel the evil spirit from yesterday.

He took out a stack of books from the Qiankun Ring and put them in front of Mu Yao. Jiang Beiran said, "If you encounter any problems during the implementation of the New Deal, read more of these books. The answers are in them."

Mu Yao took the book in a daze, and asked, "Your Majesty... where are you going?"

What Mu Yao really wanted to ask was the emperor, do you really plan to become the shopkeeper completely, but she was afraid that she would lose the opportunity to be the acting emperor after she asked.

"Not going anywhere, just in case. After all, you have done a good job during this time, and I am willing to leave more things to you."

"But the emperor..."

"If you feel too embarrassed, I can also..."

"No embarrassment, no reason for that." Mu Yao waved her hand, "If I can help, I... I... I'm also very happy."

"That's good." Jiang Beiran nodded, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

'Thank you... thank you... thank you...'

These four words seemed to echo in Mu Yao's heart.

It was the first time she felt the warmth from the emperor, and because the warmth was so rare, the warmth made her a little hot.

"No no no..."

Mu Yao shook her head.

'He just tricked me into giving him a free job! Can't miss him! You should think he owes me! right! He owes me! '

After handing over the pre-stored follow-up content of the New Deal to Mu Yao, Jiang Beiran felt that it was not enough, so he sat on the dragon chair and picked up the pen to start writing.

It's just that he hadn't written much when he heard a knock on the study door.

"Enter."

With a sound of "squeak", the sandalwood door was pushed open, and Kong Qianqian came in to salute and said, "Your Majesty, Hong Yaxuan from Lanzhou is here again, and I still want to give you a congratulatory gift."

Although Jiang Bei didn't want to see that little girl at the moment, but thinking that she was representing Sifangzong and Lanzhou at the moment, he could only nod and said, "Take her to Linyue Palace and wait."

"Follow the order."

When Kong Qianqian withdrew, Mu Yao, who was reading a book, took a peek at Jiang Beiran and found that he was concentrating on something.

'There must be something wrong with these two! '

Before Jiang Beiran was away, Mu Yao also went to see Hong Yaxuan as the emperor's agent, and told her that she could accept the gift first, but Hong Yaxuan refused desperately, saying that it must be given to the emperor himself.

But it would be fine if it was shut down once or twice, but for three consecutive months, she came almost every day, which made Mu Yao have to suspect that Hong Yaxuan didn't come to give gifts at all, but to satisfy her in the name of giving gifts. Some of my own desires.

'I really don't know what's so good about him... How can he always attract girls to fall in love with him. '

"They're all blind!"
