Outside the east gate of Tianxuan City, a group of merchant ladies dressed in gorgeous brocades and silks looked at the sloppy men in coarse cloth on the bullock carts with disgust. Most of the people who were qualified to enter and leave Tianxuan City were immortal cultivators and rich people. , very few country people come in or out.
Even if you were lucky enough to get a tael of gold, you still wouldn't be able to afford the expensive expenses in the city. You'd be gone in a hurry in less than half a day, and you wouldn't even be able to see the threshold of Tianxuan Gate.
"Ah, one tael of gold?" Hearing this, the young man in coarse cloth said angrily, "Why don't you go and rob it? You can stay there for a month for ten cents elsewhere, but you want hundreds of millions of cents. You are simply a robber!"
The city guard officers and soldiers snorted coldly: "Are you really saying that all cats and dogs can enter Tianxuan City? This is the land of the Immortal Family, and naturally it is not comparable to a mortal city. Do you have these two gold coins? If not, get out of here right away. , don’t force me to use violence!”
As he spoke, he put a sharp spear in front of the man in coarse cloth.
"No, no, no, no, sir, I have something to say, I have something to say, why don't I leave!" With that said, the man in coarse cloth turned around and left.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" At this moment, an urgent cry suddenly came from the city.
Immediately afterwards, a handsome young man wearing brocade clothes appeared and ran rampant on the street, followed by several strong men who looked like domestic servants and a middle-aged housekeeper.
The middle-aged housekeeper shouted: "Whoever catches him will be rewarded with ten pieces of low-grade spiritual jade!"
"Ah, ten pieces of low-grade spiritual jade, is it real or fake?"
"It doesn't matter if it's real or fake, let's go!"
"That's right, I can't even save ten pieces of low-grade spiritual jade after two years of hard work in Zuixian Tower. These ten pieces of low-grade spiritual jade must be mine!"
…
Along with the voices of discussion coming from both sides of the street, some people in the crowd spontaneously rushed up and tried to catch the young man in brocade clothes.
The young man in golden clothes groaned, waved his hand, and fired dozens of fireballs, which exploded around him. The blocker dodged and was injured, and fell to the ground in an instant.
When the passersby watching saw this, they commented: "These people are desperate for their lives, and the young master of the Xiao family dares to stop them!"
"Ah, he is the young master of the Xiao family, but I heard that he is not a loser?"
"I don't know..."
While the crowd was talking, the young man in brocade had already rushed to the east gate. When he saw the officers and soldiers blocking the way, he immediately repulsed him with a palm and shouted to the man in coarse cloth who was driving a bullock cart slowly in front of him: "Get out of the way!"
Hearing this, the man in coarse cloth turned his head inexplicably.
The young man in golden clothes had already rushed forward and hit the scalper on the front of the car with his palm. The scalper made a "moo" sound, and the man and the cart were knocked away by a strong force. They hit the city wall and vomited blood. It looked like he would not survive.
"Ah, my cow, you give me the cow!"
The man in coarse cloth hurriedly jumped out of the car. When he saw that the ox pulling the cart was dying and could not be saved, he became furious. He flew forward and grabbed the hind legs of the young man in gilded clothes. He cried and made a fuss: "You have to pay for the ox, please pay for it." I’m awesome!”
"Let me go, let me go, do you hear me?"
The boy in brocade clothes felt as if his right leg was stuck in a quagmire and couldn't pull it out, so he raised his palm and struck the man in coarse cloth over the head.
When the middle-aged butler who was chasing behind him saw this, he immediately waved his right hand, and a rope of light instantly wrapped around the young man in brocade clothes. Four strong men pounced on him and knocked him to the ground.
"Young Master, you've made enough trouble. It's time to come back with me. Otherwise, how will my servants be able to bear the wrath of the master?" the middle-aged housekeeper said helplessly.
"Third uncle, have you forgotten how that evil girl humiliated me? It's okay if you don't help your nephew, but now you come to arrest me. What do you mean?" the young man in brocade clothes said angrily.
The middle-aged housekeeper sighed: "Of course Third Uncle knows, but now that the Xiao family is in decline, we can't afford to offend the Shangguan family. You can't just regret your engagement with Miss Shangguan. You have to put the overall situation first!"
"The overall situation?" The young man in brocade snorted, with a look of disdain on his face, and said, "Wake up, at first the Shangguan family wanted to break off the engagement and humiliate me when they saw that I was disabled. Now that I have recovered my cultivation and can inherit the position of the head of the family, they want to Get married and annex the Xiao family, dream!"
"Have you said enough?" At this time, the man in coarse cloth interrupted from the side, "Whether we are married or not is your family matter. I only want you to pay for my cow. Do you want to pay or not?"
"Compensation, compensation, of course. Your Excellency, please help us stop the young master. In addition to the promised ten pieces of low-grade spiritual jade, you will also give five yuan as compensation!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged housekeeper took out fifteen thumb-sized pieces of gray jade from the storage bag and gave them to the coarse-clothed boy.
"I remember you, just wait for me!" The boy in brocade glared at the boy in coarse cloth fiercely, and then he was carried away by four strong men. The man in coarse cloth didn't care at all.
"This kid is really lucky. He actually stopped the young master of the Xiao family."
"A broken cow was exchanged for five pieces of low-grade spiritual jade. Is there such a good thing in the world?"
"It's just that I couldn't save so much spiritual jade even after working as a handyman in Zuixian Tower for a year. Damn it!"
Just when everyone looked at the coarse cloth boy with strange eyes, the coarse cloth boy looked sad, pushed the ox away, and buried it in a forest outside the city.
Ding ding~ ding ding~
"A hundred years before dawn, and ten years afterward, the ghosts and ghosts can reach the sky, and troubles can be solved."
Half an hour later, an old man in green robes holding a white sail and an immortal spirit appeared on the official road outside the woods, shaking the bell in his hand and shouting loudly.
When he saw the man in coarse cloth in the woods, he immediately ran in and said, "Oh, little friend, I see your hall is dark and your face is full of evil spirits. I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster in the near future!"
The man in coarse cloth looked at the old man indifferently, and instead of the white sail with "Immortal Guiding the Way" written in his hand, he suddenly felt funny in his heart, and said stupidly: "Really, will I really be in a bloody disaster? What should I do? ?”
"Let me do the math." As he said that, the old man in green robe pretended to count, and said, "Looking at your extraordinary abilities, you must not be an ordinary person, but come from a family of immortal cultivators or a famous sect, right?"
The man in coarse cloth frowned slightly, nodded and said: "Yes, I can't hide anything from the immortal master. I have indeed learned some cultivation techniques, but I am not from a family of immortal cultivators or a famous sect. I am just a wandering cultivator."
"Oh?" The old man in green robe was a little surprised and said, "It's okay if you don't want to say it. I will ask you again, did you have any conflicts with others when you entered Tianxuan City?"
The man in coarse cloth said: "Yes, Master Xian is really good at predicting things. I did have a conflict with someone, and that person also beat the ox that was pulling my cart to death with one palm. It is really unreasonable."
The old man in green robe stroked his beard and said: "That's right. If my prediction is correct, the person who conflicts with you should be Xiao Shaocheng, the young master of the Xiao family. This man is talented and has a rare spiritual root in the world of immortality. He originally had the ability to refine Qi. He is at the eighth level of cultivation, but for some unknown reason, his practice in the past few years went so far that his Dantian was completely destroyed, and he became a cripple. Later, he failed to commit suicide, but his temperament changed drastically. If you offend him, he will not let you go."
The man in coarse cloth said in panic: "Then I dare to ask Master Xian, what should I do as a junior?"
"Well, there is no way to eliminate the bloody disaster, but..." As he said that, the old man in white robe shook the white sail of "Immortal Guiding the Way" in his hand, and rubbed his two fingers together, as if to imply something.
The man in coarse cloth was amused in his heart, and continued to pretend to be stupid and said blankly: "May I ask Master Xian how much it will cost to do a calculation for this junior?"
The old man in green robes shook his head and said: "Well, I have supernatural powers. I know astronomy from above and geography from below. I can understand people's wishes and understand the past and the present. If a mortal wants to count it once, he needs ten taels of gold. A cultivator needs five taels of gold according to different calamities. It ranges from a piece of low-grade spiritual jade to a piece of medium-grade spiritual jade. As for you, seeing that you and I are destined, I will accept ten pieces of low-grade spiritual jade from you to ensure that you can turn disaster into good luck!"
"I see, please ask Master Immortal to do the math for this junior!" As he said that, the man in coarse cloth took out the ten pieces of low-grade spiritual jade that the middle-aged housekeeper had just given from his arms, and handed them to the old man in green robe.
The old man in green robes looked happy and hurriedly put ten pieces of low-grade spiritual jade into his sleeves. He coughed dryly and said: "After you enter the city, you can go to Zuixian Tower. You will naturally get the answer you want there."
"Zui Xian Tower, where is that place?" the man in coarse cloth asked.
"It's a restaurant where you can drink and eat. Usually there are many people who are cultivating immortals. You can find out anything you want to know."
After saying that, the old man in green robe turned and left, ringing the bell and shouting: "One hundred years before dawn, ten years after that, the ghosts can reach the sky, and troubles can be solved..."
"Isn't that Liar Zhou? Why is he here again?"
"Yes, there are still people who have been deceived. This stupid boy is so stupid!"
"Damn it, I actually let the liar Zhou take the first step. If I had known earlier, I would have just taken action and snatched the spiritual jade!"
Some people walking on the road or hiding in the dark watching the scene, either laughed at or were angry, and left one after another.
The man in coarse cloth didn't take it seriously and happily walked towards the east gate of Tianxuan City.
At this time, the two officers and soldiers guarding the city saw this, stopped again, and pointed their eyes at the officer and soldier on the left who was responsible for registration.
The man in coarse cloth understood it, walked over, and placed a piece of low-grade spiritual jade on the table. The officer and soldier said: "Name."
"Qin Aniu."
"Hometown."
"A villager in Niujia Village, Xiaoqinshan Mountain, Wei State."
The registration officer looked at the man in coarse cloth in surprise and said, "Show me your customs clearance document."
The man in coarse cloth took out a tattered document from his arms, and it was indeed written with the name Qin Aniu from Niujia Village, Xiaoqinshan Mountain, Wei State, in ten large characters, and stamped with a seal.
"It does look like a cow."
The registration officer and soldier sneered, wrote Qin A Niu on the text in his hand, handed the customs clearance document back, and said: "You can enter the city, but remember, you must pay a piece of low-grade spiritual jade every month, otherwise you will be Expelled from the city.”
"Thank you, sir."
The man in coarse cloth put away the document and walked into the east gate. He came to a street in front of the east gate that was bustling with pedestrians and lined with pavilions. He wiped off the dirt on his face. Under the sunlight, he saw an extraordinary face. It was Cen Yun's face!
