Chapter 9: Into Qingyang
"Get out, if you can't get the 'festival' to prove your identity, get out of the way, don't come to obstruct official business!"
The shouting from the front couldn't help but attract the attention of Shi Ling, and I saw a city gate official dressed in a brown official uniform and wrapped in a brown turban, kicking the old man who was kneeling on the ground and pleading for accommodation, and kicked the old man out of a certain distance with a kick on the old man's shoulder, splashing a burst of yellow dust.
It is not so much the officials of the city gate as the subordinates of the head of the criminal department.
The political institutions of the Wind Nation are similar to those of other countries on the primeval planet, with three provinces and six ministries, and at the same time three divisions and nine secretaries to restrain it.
"I've told you everything, since there is no 'festival', then one person is twenty copper coins, and two people are forty, this is the rule, if you give it, you will enter, if you don't give it, you will get out of the way! Otherwise, you will be charged with obstructing official business and go to prison. I'm bah!" kicked the old man away again, and the brown-clothed subordinate did not forget to spit on him.
The old man couldn't help but feel pain, and his face was extremely ugly. But he didn't care about his embarrassment, he still crawled in front of the official, pulling the corner of the official's clothes and kept pleading. "My lord, you are okay, let's go in, my wife really needs to be treated in time, otherwise she will die." ”
Hearing this, Shi Ling not only looked at the two carts next to him, only to find that there was an old woman lying on it, but her current state was not good, her brows were tightly locked, her face was dark, and her expression was a little distorted.
The old man kept buttoning his head in front of the official and begging: "My lord, it's good, it's not that we don't give it, but it's life-saving money, I can't give it, I can't give it." ”
There was obviously a trace of impatience in the official's eyes, "You two, come here, drag him over there and beat him until he can't get up, I don't think he will come to interfere with official business." He pointed at the old man on the ground and said viciously to the other two guards.
"This ......" the two of them almost wore unwilling expressions on their faces.
"Why don't you come quickly, eat the waste of rice?" the brown-clothed subordinate couldn't help but roar, although he was in the rank of not entering the stream, he still had subordinates, and to put it bluntly, there were two subordinates.
"Offended ......"
......
The Ten Spirits were strange, and when such a thing happened, no two of them watched the excitement, so what should they do, as if this matter was no longer strange to them.
"Father-in-law. Shi Ling asked, he had already moved his heart of compassion, after all, he was still a teenager.
"Just watch quietly, just take care of yourself, it's best not to involve cause and effect if the rest has nothing to do with you, whether it's right or wrong, all fate has its own destiny. "Regarding the inquiry of the Ten Spirits, Long Yuanyan ignored it, and said lightly with the 'section' in his hand.
'Jie' is the rune, in order to prove that they are flat-headed people rely on this thing, this thing looks like a small bamboo block, but it is actually made of bronze, which records a lot of information about the knot-holder, and the basis for wanting to view this information is built on the sub-array inside.
One of the functions of the state is to check people's information, and the mother array is connected to the information stations in various places. It is said that the runes were originally made of bamboo blocks, and later generations used bronze to make them durable, and they were made of gold in order to be easy to distinguish and beautiful.
The wrong gold process is complicated, and even if there is a forgery, it is relatively easy to see through, not to mention that there is a sub-array in the rune. In this way, it is not difficult to explain why people use the wrong golden runes to record their identities.
And the three wrong gold runes in Long Yuanyan's hands were purchased from the government, this little thing is worth a lot of money, Shiling remembers that his father-in-law said that it took twenty-one stones of corn to get it, that is, because it is expensive, so that although this thing has been implemented for a long time, it has not been popularized in the real sense, and many people and farmers cannot afford to use it, so there is the current situation, but for slaves, the government obviously has preferential treatment, and a paper edict: "Exemption from the charm, use the deed to prove your identity." "It can be seen that the Ten Spirit Boy should not be doing badly.
"Dad, let's go help them. "Not only the ten spirits, but even the pothos is also moved by compassion, after all, it is a girl, and her heart is softer than that of a boy.
Long Yuanyan frowned slightly, and a trace of inexplicable meaning crossed his face, not knowing what he was thinking. But he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, as you two wished." Long Yuanyan continued to drive the firewood cart forward.
It seems that this time it is the right time, Xiaotian and Luo'er have not had much contact with people, their hearts are still soft, and they don't know when the cultivation is ruthless, when it is tender, and when it is tactful, which is not conducive to future cultivation, I hope that this growth experience in Qingyang City should help them.
Looking at the ten spirits and green pothos with a somewhat serious expression behind him, Long Yuanyan had a headache, the two little guys had soft and straight personalities, and it should not be easy to smooth the water chestnut.
Just when the two guards were about to kick down at the old man, Long Yuanyan's hand raised upward, and his voice sounded at the right time: "Slow down, adult." ”
"Oh. The official glanced lightly at Long Yuanyan, who was driving the firewood cart, waved his hand to the two subordinates and said, "Slow." Then he looked at Long Yuanyan and smiled: "What, do you want to make trouble?"
Looking at Long Yuanyan who was a little raw-faced in front of him, and then looking at the Ten Spirits and Green Pothos in the back, and then looking at this equipment, even if Zhao Liu couldn't remember who it was, he knew that the other party was not big, and it didn't look like a rich person, it should be the same kind of person as this old man, as for a more powerful cultivator, it was even more impossible, and no slightly more powerful cultivator would be mixed like this. When he spoke, he naturally had a sense of contempt, and his hunched back couldn't help but straighten up.
"The lord laughed, it is precisely because the court of the Wind Country is prosperous and strong that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and at the moment, who dares to make trouble. However, I see that these two old people are similar to my relatives, so I can't bear to see the old people like this, and I want to help, so I will stop it. Long Yuanyan smiled and stuffed two things into Zhao Liu's hand.
Among the two things, there is a bag of three runes, and a bag of things that Zhao Liu will never forget in his life. Zhao Liu couldn't help but look at Long Yuanyan again, and said secretly: Have you lost your eyes?
Zhao Liu checked the objects in his hand, listened to the voice in his hand, and then smiled with satisfaction, "Hahaha, brother said that he was joking, so be it, don't I still have to be busy with official business, so I won't chat with my brother, seeing that my brother is going to take his children to participate in the apprenticeship test of Qingyang City Academy? Zhao Liu said to himself, reaching out to touch the two of Shiling.
"Where, my lord, Liao praised, after all, it's just a little doll, whether it has cultivation talent and whether it can meet the conditions for admission is unknown?" Seeing Zhao Liu stretching out his hand, Long Yuanyan didn't know what this thing wanted to do, so he reached out and stretched out his hand and shook it with Zhao Liu.
Zhao Liu was obviously stunned for a moment, the trajectory of his shot was obviously not right with this person, and he shot fast enough, there was no reason for him to be able to pick it up... Long Yuanyan didn't give Zhao Liu time to think, and after watching Zhao Liu put the talisman on the letter table for inspection, he continued: "Then my lord, I'll go in first, you also have official business to do, see you later." ”
After putting away the runes and glancing at the bustling crowd behind him, Long Yuanyan didn't say anything to the two old men, nor did he continue to talk nonsense with the officials, and he was a whip at the old cow.
"Drive. With the whip in one hand, the old cow took steady steps and walked towards the city.
The official was a little annoyed, but after thinking about the bag of fine softness given by Long Yuanyan, he didn't say anything, so he scolded the old man who got up: "Look at it, if you don't drag your people in, I won't let you in." ”
"Oh, thank you, sir, thank you. The old man glanced at the people in the ox cart in front of him, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his clarity, and then dragged the cart towards the city.
The city is obviously more lively than the outside, and there are people everywhere, as soon as you enter the city, all kinds of shouting and selling voices instantly fill the ears of Shiling, and people can be seen setting up stalls everywhere in the market, crowded to the point that only narrow streets remain.
"Selling all kinds of alchemy medicinal materials, the quality is high, and the children are not bullied. ”
"Take a look at the treasure that our expedition team just dug up......"
......
Ten Spirits and Green Pothos looked around like two curious babies, and it was no wonder that these two little ones hadn't come out for a long time.
Parking the firewood cart aside, Long Yuanyan said to the Ten Spirits: "Xiao Tian, give, give the bloodstone, the yellow paper that was given to you before has the use of the bloodstone, and the person you are looking for." Now you go to find someone yourself, and your father-in-law and pothos will not be with you if there are still things. ”
"Qingyang Academy will be recruiting students in two days, you have to fight for your breath, don't let this girl laugh at you. Seeing Shi Tian take the brocade bag containing the bloodstone, Long Yuanyan's expression was slightly serious.
Green pothos has to take the cultivation route of alchemy, the cultivators of this profession are not suitable for fighting, but sometimes they can be called killing weapons, and alchemists need extremely high talents, alchemists on the continent are much rarer than pure martial arts cultivators, cultivators, and cultivators of some other professions, so even if the strength of the alchemist is not strong, it is still extremely popular in this world where the strong are respected and people eat people.
Pure martial arts cultivators are body cultivators, the group of people who pay attention to breaking through ten thousand methods with one force, this group of people rarely use magic skills, but the combat skills are used perfectly, the cultivator's set of level system and combat methods are not applicable to them, they have their own cultivation system and combat methods.
Cultivators are the group of people who rely on the use of combat techniques and magic techniques to eat, and some relatively rare cultivators such as musicians and alchemists rely on that kind of relatively unpopular talent very much, rather than people like cultivators who rely on cultivation talent very much to live a good life.
In different continents, the same cultivation method has become very different, and it can even be said that it is very different, and the proportion of cultivators in different sects has also been very different.
And a person like a person with the talent of an alchemist, a small academy like Qingyang Academy probably doesn't know how lucky it is to pick one up when recruiting students, and it is not a problem to enter the academy, but Shiling doesn't know if Luluo will choose Qingyang Academy, and he didn't come to ask before.
The Ten Spirits just didn't have time to ask, not because they didn't dare to ask some questions because they had a shadow over that runic riot. Yes, I just didn't have time.
"I will, father-in-law, I don't know if the pothos will go to Qingyang Academy?" When Shi Ling turned around after collecting the bloodstone, he agreed to Long Yuanyan's words, and by the way, he threw out the question in his heart, he wouldn't ask the girl some questions about the pothos, absolutely not.
"I won't go, I know a friend, I will take pothos to him to study, pothos will progress quickly, if you don't work hard, it will be pothos who will clean up your brother in the future." Long Yuanyan still couldn't help but quip.
Wasn't it before? Shi Ling was a little dumbfounded, although he was bullying the pothos no matter how he looked at it on weekdays, but who could see when the pothos beat him violently.
"I'm not going to let this girl touch a single hair of my hair again. In the face of the somewhat shy pothos and the exaggerated father-in-law, the young man simply dropped such a sentence in response, and he didn't know who he was talking to, and the young man's immature face crossed a touch of determination, and then turned to leave.
He didn't dare to look back at the green face of the green pothos.
......
Seeing the ten spirits leaving, Long Yuanyan turned his head to look at the green pothos with an iron face that had not retreated, and said with a wry smile: "Let's go, green pothos, it's time to go back, he will face more in the future, and the pressure will be even greater, if you are not strong, who can be strong with him?
