"This is where you live now, if you improve your cultivation or contribute to your own sect, you can upgrade to a better residence. The young man spoke, and as he spoke, he handed a small cloth bag to Zhao An, and Zhao An swept his senses, and there was no more or no less in it, exactly twenty spirit stones.

"There's one thing I don't understand, and I want to ask Daoyou. Zhao An took the spirit stone and asked.

"Fellow Daoist, as long as I know something, I will definitely know everything. The young man looked willing to hear the details, and he looked quite easy to contact, which also made Zhao An have some good feelings.

"I've always heard someone say that the trick school is before, but I don't know what kind of trick school that trick is?"

Zhao An opened his mouth with a serious face, since he entered the Heavenly Mandate City, he had always heard someone say "trick school", but in Jiang San's introduction to him before, there were only swordsmanship, spells, formations, pharmacists, talismans, close methods and Tianluo dance methods, and there was no trick school, so he was very curious.

Along the way, because he was annoyed that Jiang was three years old, he endured it all the time and didn't ask, and at this time, seeing that this young man was still good at talking, he opened his mouth to ask.

After hearing Zhao An's question, the young man's face instantly darkened, and his expression was full of disdain when he looked at Zhao An, and he even glanced at Zhao An quite sarcastically.

Zhao An was stunned for a moment, secretly wondering in his heart whether he had said the wrong thing? Why did the other party's attitude change so quickly.

The young man sneered, looked at Zhao An with great disgust, and suddenly said without a beginning or an end, "You think you are a good person?"

After speaking, the young man turned around and left, as if he didn't want to stay with Zhao An for a moment, and the enthusiastic person just now was completely two people.

Such a huge contrast in attitude made Zhao An a little confused, but since the other party had already left, he didn't want to think about it, pushed open the door of his room, and walked in.

The room was not large, one could even say very simple, and there was a wooden couch with a very cheap futon on top, which was supposed to be used for meditation. Next to the wooden couch was an old table with a few rough sheets of straw paper and pen and ink, and a small wooden window next to the wall, but there was nothing else.

But the only consolation is that this place is relatively clean, and there are not so many people coming and going.

Zhao An flicked his sleeves slightly, and after the longitudinal wind technique was used to blow all the dust in the house, he took out the black array flags from the storage bag and carefully placed them in several places in the house according to what Zhou Ze had taught at the beginning.

When the formation was all opened, Zhao An sat on the futon on the wooden couch with confidence and sighed softly.

I really don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky, and I'm actually transported to this kind of place.

Just when Zhao An was thinking about how to survive in this Heavenly Destiny City in the future, and how to find the teleportation array and leave, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

"Could it be Jiang Sansui?" Zhao An stood up suspiciously, he knew Jiang Sansui in Heavenly Mandate City, but as soon as he pushed the door open, it was not Jiang Sansui standing outside the house, but a strange monk.

"Who are you, fellow Daoist?" asked Zhao An.

"New here, huh?" said the strange monk slowly.

Zhao An nodded and said, "I just entered the Heavenly Mandate City today, and I have just come to the Magic Sect, so I haven't had time to visit Daoist friends yet. ”

"Visit, who is visiting you?" the strange monk looked at Zhao An with some disdain and stretched out his hand, "Today, for the sake of you being new and not understanding the rules, I will tell you about the rules." If you want to live well here, you have to pay a protection fee every month, otherwise don't blame me for not telling you, you are careful that you are uncomfortable living here. ”

Zhao An understood now, the co-author was a newcomer and met a road rage.

"Then I don't know how much I should pay in a month?" Zhao An asked calmly.

"Eight spirit stones a month. The strange monk said impatiently, "Don't be sluggish, after paying this money, I will ensure that no one will trouble you." ”

Zhao An's face was bitter, and he discussed, "This fellow Daoist, I just came to the magic sect today, and I am not familiar with the place, and I really can't take out eight spirit stones a month." ”

"Don't grind with me here, you just received twenty spirit stones, hurry up and take out eight, you are better than me." "The strange monk is used to receiving money at a glance, and he is too lazy to deal with Zhao An, with the attitude that you pay the money and I will leave.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Zhao An knew that this spirit stone had to be handed over today, but he still asked in a low voice, "Is it okay to only pay eight spirit stones every month in the future?"

"Yes, we are collecting protection money, and we are not killing people, we must leave you enough spirit stones for you to survive. The strange monk spoke frankly, as if it were a glorious and great thing to collect protection money.

Zhao Anxin secretly smiled bitterly, each person only has twenty spirit stones a month, and the other party will go to eight at a time, which can be regarded as a lion's big mouth.

But after all, he is new to the city now, and he doesn't want to cause trouble, so naturally he is not bad for eight spirit stones per month. But despite this, Zhao An still made a poor appearance, negotiated with the other party for a long time, and then reluctantly handed over eight spirit stones.

"This brand is for you, hang it on your waist, by the way, my name is Wang Hu, I will come again next month." With that, Wang Hu leisurely took out an inconspicuous small token from the storage bag, handed it to Zhao An, and turned around to leave.

But as soon as he took two steps, Wang Hu turned around again and said, "By the way, seeing that you are a newcomer, the attitude of paying the money is okay, and let me tell you again, if you are hungry at night, you can take the spirit stone to the shop in the faction to exchange for food." ”

When Zhao An heard this, his eyes lit up, he was really a little hungry after tossing for so long, "Then dare to ask Senior Brother, where is the shop?"

"I can't tell you exactly where it is, but I have a map here, and if you want, I'll sell you three spirit stones." Wang Hu said, taking out a piece of straw paper from his bosom that looked rather inferior, through which he could even see the pen and ink that passed through.

"Three spirit stones??Senior Brother Wang, this is really too expensive. Zhao An glanced at the papyrus, and suddenly his face showed bitterness, just such a piece of broken papyrus, with some simple drawings on it, would sell three spirit stones, which was too dark.

"If the junior brother is too expensive, I have no choice, I just hope that the junior brother will not be hungry and can't find a place. Wang Hu smiled coldly, and did not persuade Zhao An to buy, so he turned his head and was about to leave.

Zhao An naturally wouldn't let Wang Hu leave, so he had to take out the storage bag again and hand over three spirit stones in exchange for the map.

Listening to Wang Hu humming a little tune leisurely, Zhao An closed the door and looked at the extremely simple map in his hand, which was really painful and depressed.

Although it is a map, it only marks the main places such as shops and markets, and all other areas are swept over without any value.

"Alas, this Heavenly Mandate City is much darker than the Yunhai Sect. Zhao An shook his head helplessly, pushed open the door, and walked in the direction of the shop.

Xu is when it was time to eat in the evening, many people walked out of their rooms and walked in the direction of the shop, which made him really depressed for a while, he knew this, he asked someone casually on the road, or simply followed these people, and he could find the location of the shop.

Along the way, under Zhao An's observation, he unexpectedly found that most of the people here had tokens hanging around their waists, obviously like him, they all paid protection money.

After walking for more than half an hour, Zhao An saw that many people had walked into a huge store, so he walked in with everyone.

As soon as he stepped in, Zhao An smelled a pungent fragrance, which instantly provoked his index finger to move, and even his stomach couldn't help but scream twice.

At the entrance, there is a large hall, which is made up of countless compartments, and in each compartment stands a cook-like figure, with the types and prices of the meals sold.

At this time, there were a lot of people lined up in front of each compartment, seemingly waiting in line to buy, while there were many fewer people upstairs, obviously selling some more expensive meals.

Zhao An's consciousness spread slightly, and then locked his gaze in front of the cubicle with the largest number of people in line.

Fifteen steamed buns, one spirit stone.

This can be said to be the cheapest price in the entire shop, as for the rest, but a plate of the most ordinary fried vegetables costs two spirit stones, and a plate of sauce beef is sold for a high price of ten spirit stones.

"This thing, isn't it too expensive...... the corners of Zhao An's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly remembered the three spirit stones that had just been spent in plain white, and he couldn't wait to give himself a big slap.

After looking around the hall and making sure that there was nothing cheaper than steamed buns, Zhao An still decisively lined up behind the steamed buns and waited patiently.

Behind him, one after another, people came to line up, only to hear two people talking behind him,

"Brother Zhang, why are you here so early today?"

"It's not early, I just got the news, a batch of new tasks have been refreshed on the Dragon and Tiger list, I'm here to buy some supplementary dry food, and then I'll pick up a few tasks, if it's late, the good task will definitely be robbed by others." ”

"What? Refresh the task, then without further ado, after we finish buying steamed buns, hurry over. ”

Zhao An listened to the words of the two in his ears, and thought that the young man who had brought him into the magic sect before had also said that he could do errands in exchange for spirit stones, so he secretly kept the two people behind him in mind, thinking that after buying steamed buns, follow these two people to find out.

The speed of shopping was fast, but it took a while to line up to Zhao An, "How much?" a female monk stood behind the cubicle and said expressionlessly.

"I want the amount of five spirit stones. "Zhao An is not interested in coming here every day to buy things, so he simply buys a few days' worth and keeps it just in case.

The nun took the spirit stone, glanced at the token hanging from Zhao An's waist, and then gave Zhao An a cloth bag.

After taking the cloth bag, Zhao An swept his senses, checked the number of steamed buns in the cloth bag, was slightly stunned, and said, "You gave five more." ”

"Because you have tokens, five more are given to you, the next one. The nun said coldly, then ignored Zhao An and asked the monk behind her.

Zhao An looked down at the token on his waist, and suddenly grinned, it seems that the protection fee of the eight spirit stones is still not unjust.
