At the beginning, when Zhi Qiu Yiye first entered the realm of Yangzhou, he didn't even need to open his Dharma eyes to sense the bright gathering of demonic energy, which was as eye-catching as a fire in the dark night.
"You are so bold and evil, how dare you bring trouble to the world in broad daylight, look at me accepting you!"
Amidst the loud shouts, Zhiqiu Yiye pinched the magic formula with his hands, added the magical talisman to his legs, and his body moved as fast as the wind.
Then he started fighting with those monsters, which naturally alerted the [Taiping Army] defenders here.
After a lot of fighting, questioning, suppressing, explaining... Zhiqiu Yiye was half convinced and doubtful, but did not insist on catching the monster, because the attitude of the ordinary people here was really strange.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, just clarify it." The monster was quite reasonable.
"This brother..." the centurion said.
"Call me Master!" Zhiqiu Yiye interrupted, this title was a symbol of his identity.
"...Master, it seems that you are new to the local area and do not understand the local laws and customs. I suggest you buy a few recent issues of "Xinmin Digest" and you should have a brief impression after reading it."
""Xinmin Digest"? Are you talking about the "Xinmin Digest" with articles by Zhuge Wolong, the "Tongtian polymath"??"
Although Zhiqiu Yiye is busy slaying demons and ghosts, he can also read in his spare time. He is committed to becoming an educated mage! ~
After following the centurion's instructions and buying a few abstracts to read, Zhiqiu Yiye naturally became curious about Xuan Kingdom. His temperament was already a bit lively and restless. .
Regarding the change of dynasties in the human world, Zhiqiu Yiye has no feelings at all. After all, he is an outsider! ~
"However, the strength of this Xuan Kingdom... seems to be a bit powerful!?"
"...This abstract also talks about the establishment of a grand ceremony, dragons and phoenixes showing auspiciousness, goddesses scattering flowers, rainbows paving the way, gods and men blessing... This is too much!~"
After laughing twice, Zhiqiu Yiye put away his smile.
He thought of the monsters he had seen roaming the streets openly, and of the centurion who was just here, with the ferocious iron-blooded aura...
"Maybe it's true?"
"Otherwise, there's no reason for these monsters to be so honest?!"
"What kind of imperial conferment will be held on May 11th..."
Zhiqiu Yiye scratched his head.
"Why does Xuan Kingdom always like to hold grand ceremonies and conferences? It's only been a few months?! It's the imperial examination, it's the registration ceremony, and now it's the imperial conferment conference...!"
"...How about I go and have a look too?~"
Zhiqiu Yiye grinned, as if he thought of something interesting.
Just do it as soon as you think of it, put the magic talisman on your leg, move your magic power, and the figure suddenly gallops.
……………
"This is the capital of Xuan Kingdom! It's so big!~"
"There are so many things being bought and sold, many of which I have never seen before. It is worthy of being a capital city, but it is more prosperous than other places..."
At a certain restaurant.
I know that the autumn leaves are feasting.
"Why does this wine smell so good?! The taste is different... Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
"Ah~~It feels so good!~~"
"This roasted chicken is also delicious. It's much better than the one I roasted myself. It's crispy, tender, crispy, soft... ummmmmmmmm... bah, bah, bah..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
Zhiqiu Yiye had chicken nuggets in his left hand and soju in his right hand. He devoured the food with a mouth full of grease. He even chewed up the chicken bones and dregs and swallowed them, refusing to waste any of them.
This stuff is really delicious, but it’s also really expensive! ~
After three days of shopping in Jianye City, his money was about to be exhausted. You know, he was originally planning to spend the money for two months!
But... I just can't help it! ~
As for the cost of transportation... Well, let’s talk about it then!
The worst case scenario is sleeping in a ruined temple.
Now, no one can stop me from worshiping the five internal organs temple! !
……………
the other side.
"Shopkeeper, are you sure that Taoist priest has the money to pay the bill?"
The boy covered his mouth with his hand and asked softly.
"Those shabby and worn-out clothes smell too strong even if you put them on a fire."
He was reluctant to let the young Taoist priest go upstairs, but the shopkeeper agreed.
The shopkeeper who was fiddling with the abacus didn't even raise his head. The abacus clicked and he showed a proud smile.
"So, why did the big boss choose me to be my shopkeeper, and you are just a buddy?!"
"If you don't want to be a buddy for the rest of your life, you have to perfect your skills!~"
After finishing the calculation, the shopkeeper stopped fiddling and looked up slightly.
"If it weren't for the fact that we are from the same village, I would be too lazy to mention it, so you can figure it out yourself."
The boy smiled and wiped the counter with a rag, and then filled the shopkeeper's cup with tea.
"Hehehe... I know the shopkeeper treats me well, I will keep it in my heart!~"
"When the money is paid this month, I'll treat the shopkeeper to a drink! Just eat the "Jian Nanchun" from the south of the city."
Surprise flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes.
"You kid, you are so willing to give up! A jar of "Jian Nanchun" will cost you more than half a month's money..."
The young man heard the satisfaction and praise in the shopkeeper's words and said nothing, just laughing.
"For Taoist priests and monks, you must not judge people by their appearance."
The shopkeeper imparted his experience in looking at people.
"But we have to judge from clues whether the person has real ability..."
"Those who are really capable will not be short of money; even if we can't come up with money for a while, we don't need to be aggressive. We can even pay for it out of our own pockets. It's considered a good relationship."
The little guy crossed his arms across his chest, as if he had some realization.
Working in the restaurant, I met a lot of people of all kinds and heard a lot of news. The young man knew that there were many strange people and strange people in this world.
Young people naturally yearn for such powerful power. Unfortunately, he is only fifteen years old. In reality, it is a little less than the required age for recruitment into the Daxuan Army.
The shopkeeper continued:
"That young Taoist priest, don't look at his shabby clothes, but pay attention to the sword on his back."
"What's wrong with that sword? It looks ordinary to me!" the young man wondered.
"Don't you think they are as powerful as the swords of those soldiers? Those swords look very sharp."
"In the words of educated people, it's Hanzhao Iron Clothes!"
There was longing in the boy's eyes. He had seen the equipment of the patrol soldiers on the street, including fine steel spears, swords across their waists, and majestic armor. It was so majestic! ~
It makes him so greedy!
Not only him, but also many people who were drafted but failed to join the draft. After seeing the standard military equipment, they were all envious and angry. Why did they lose the selection? !
The shopkeeper glanced sideways and said calmly: "That Taoist priest's sword is not ordinary."
Boy: "Isn't it an ordinary sword? I don't think that sword is sharp at all..."
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Could it be that... this is a true Taoist priest?!"
The true Taoist priests he refers to naturally refer to masters who know magical Taoism.
The shopkeeper smiled proudly.
He had seen with his own eyes the magical weapons of some masters.
"This is a magic sword, specially used to kill demons and eliminate ghosts."
"So, for such a true Taoist priest, are you still afraid that he won't have money to settle the bill?!"
If you really have no money, give yourself a chance to sell favors.
"How did you recognize it?"
Zhiqiu Yiye's voice intervened at some point.
………………
Jiangnan has a lot of fun and customs, and you can pass by them everywhere. The Taoist carried his sword on his back, laughed and sang "Human World", ate wine in jars, ate meat in large chunks, and wanted to travel around the capital for hundreds of hours, but his pocket was half empty.
