Chapter 25: Entering the City

Huo Dao lowered his head, his eyes flickering.

Although he had a vague guess, he didn't say it.

Cheng Yuan saw that the Heavenly Imperial Division was about to deal with the mess here, and he was still concerned about cultivation, so he said to Yin Zhenshou: "Zhenshou, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." ”

"Wait!" Yin Zhenshou said: "Brother Cheng Yuan may not know that within the jurisdiction of the Imperial Division of Heaven this day, if there is a ghost rebellion, the warriors who assist in dealing with it will have a silver reward. ”

"Oh?" Cheng Yuan's eyes lit up.

Yin Zhenshou smiled and said: "This time the ghost thing, the strength has reached the first-class ghost thing, and it is Brother Cheng Yuan, you have made great efforts, according to the convention, there is a reward of 1,000 taels of silver." ”

Although the Heavenly Man kills a mountain ghost, the amount of spiritual power produced is worth a thousand taels, but it must have the true source of the Heavenly Man to do it.

Mortal warriors, even if they kill ghosts, they basically have no actual gains, even if mortals are extremely dangerous against ghosts.

This thousand taels is a huge fortune for ordinary mortal warriors.

Even if some martial arts masters become guest ministers in the big family of Youhe County, one thousand taels is a salary of two or three months or even longer.

"Okay, then you're welcome. Cheng Yuan did not refuse.

Even if he is already a celestial, he can go to kill ghosts and things to obtain the power of the underworld, but the trial of the celestial man is imminent, and his identity is quite special at this time, and it is really difficult to make money for a while.

This thousand taels is just enough to pay off the money that Huo Dao gave him Jingyuan Dan.

Yin Zhenshou instructed a Heavenly Imperial Priest to say a few words, and the soldier turned to leave, and after a while, he took a stack of silver tickets.

The paper of this silver ticket is slightly blue, and it is rumored that it is made of a special kind of tree, which is tough and difficult to decay.

A full ten silver tickets, each with a full amount of one hundred taels, were finely printed.

Speaking of which, although Cheng Yuan still had a true source stone worth 10,000 taels of silver hidden in his arms, it was the first time he had touched so many silver tickets.

It's like the feeling of being on the Blue Star in the previous life, holding a check for hundreds of thousands.

In this world, one tael of silver is probably equivalent to the value of hundreds of dollars in the previous life. However, due to the different social structures and developments, this purchasing power cannot be simply corresponded.

Just like this thousand taels, buying grain and meat is equivalent to hundreds of thousands in the previous life, but in the center of Youhe County, it is enough to buy a small exquisite courtyard.

"If Brother Cheng Yuan has anything to do, I will stay soon. Yin Zhen guarded.

"Thank you, I'll take my leave. Cheng Yuan replied.

Huo Dao didn't know when he had left, his status was extremely high, and the people of the Heavenly Imperial Division didn't dare to disturb him.

Cheng Yuan went back to the inn, but he didn't see Huo Dao, so he had to go back to his room with Cheng Yongye and Cheng Yunchuan to wait.

And Cheng Yongshi and other clansmen of the Chengjiazhuang hunting team have already returned to the village with the purchased materials and the silver from the sale.

Cheng Yuan has been cultivating the Hun Tian True Source Method for more than two hours, and he has reached today's limit, so he happened to go to the inn lobby with Cheng Yongye for lunch.

He eats a Jingyuan Pill every day, and he is full of Jingyuan, but he still eats something from time to time, otherwise he always feels unaccustomed.

However, during the meal, Cheng Yuan and Cheng Yongye heard almost all the guests around them talking about the ghost thing in Dali Lane in the morning.

It seems that the cause of the incident has been ascertained by the Heavenly Imperial Division and announced it, probably to appease the townspeople, and is not prepared to hide anything.

"I heard that the ghost on the other side of Dali Alley in the morning is that fool. At the table next to him, someone was talking in a matter-of-fact manner.

"Which?"

"It's that beggar. It is said that yesterday the boy begged for food, but in Xiaoyuwei Alley, he was beaten to death by several bastards who lost money in betting. Then the yin qi invaded the body, turned into a yin corpse and went to find those bastards for revenge. ”

"The result?" asked the man next to him curiously.

"Two were bitten to death by the yin corpse turned into Hanzi, and the first to be bitten to death were the three tigers. ”

"Tsk, the three tigers, it's really not a human business, even a begging boy still has to fight, he really deserves it. ”

"Yes, heavenly retribution...... the man sighed.

Suddenly, at the table on Cheng Yuan's left, a slightly hoarse voice sounded: "What is heavenly retribution?"

Cheng Yuan subconsciously looked over, there was only one guest sitting at the table, wearing a black shirt, drinking alone, and there were four or five dishes on the table, but there was no movement.

His voice was cold: "Where did you get any retribution? Even if you bite that bastard to death, that bastard will be able to come back to life, and you will be able to eat enough?"

"No matter how many people die, what does it matter to him? This is called retribution?"

The guests at the table looked at each other, seeing that the young guest had a faint temperament, and smiled and interrupted.

Cheng Yuan felt that what he said was very reasonable, and suddenly, the young guest turned his head to stare at him, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

Cheng Yuanhui smiled politely, didn't care, continued to eat the food, and by the way, picked up the fourteenth volume of "The Legend of Killing Ghosts" that he bought yesterday and flipped through it casually.

However, the young guest seemed to catch a glimpse of the title of "The Legend of Killing Ghosts", and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes when he looked at Cheng Yuan.

Suddenly, Huo Dao strode in from the door and looked at Cheng Yuan and Cheng Yongye: "What about the other one?"

Cheng Yuan knew that he was talking about Cheng Yunchuan, and replied, "Stay in the room." ”

"You pack up, set off in a while, and today we will go to Youhe County. Huo Dao sat down with a big grin, and also picked up a pair of chopsticks and ate casually.

After two bites, he felt someone watching him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a young guest and smiled at him.

Huo Dao was inexplicable and ignored it.

After a while, Cheng Yuan, Cheng Yongye and Cheng Yunchuan packed up, and Huo Dao took them out of the inn.

And the young guest, still sitting alone, drinking glass by glass, seemed unwilling to stop.

"It's a long way, but it's quite interesting. He looked after himself, but the guests around him seemed to turn a blind eye to him.

"A celestial man, like to watch "The Legend of the Ghost"?" he smiled self-deprecatingly, faintly recalling himself many years ago.

A hint of faint green flashed inadvertently in his pupils.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Youhe County, covering a radius of hundreds of miles.

And Youhe County is naturally the largest and most majestic city in a radius of hundreds of miles.

The first time Cheng Yuan saw the city wall of Youhe County was when he was sixteen years old.

In his previous life, as a Blue Star person, Cheng Yuan never imagined that a world somewhat similar to the background of ancient China, just a county town, would be so majestic.

The city wall alone is more than ten zhang high, and it is more than thirty meters in the previous life.

And those two gates, each of which is so thick that it feels hard to shake just by looking at it.

What controls the opening and closing of the city gate seems to be a set of sophisticated and solid mechanical structures, but Cheng Yuan can only see the thick cables and some mechanisms outside, and he can't see the precision in them.

The entrance to the gate is wide enough to accommodate dozens of people walking side by side, and the ground is a solid bluestone slab, almost so tight that there are no gaps, and it is cleaned like a mirror.

There was also a row of Heavenly Imperial Divisions at the gate of the city, that is, recruited from ordinary civilians.

Like the Heavenly Imperial Priest, every recruitment criterion is at least 800 catties of physical strength, nearly half of them are internal strength martial artists, and those are also considered elites, so it is naturally impossible to come to guard the city gate in large numbers.

However, there is still a small team of Heavenly Imperial Priests stationed at the city gate at all times, which can be regarded as supervising foreign servants, and also filling the faΓ§ade of Youhe County.

There was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city gates, and if they encountered pedestrians carrying a large amount of goods or acting in unusual ways, the foreign servants would still interrogate them in detail.

When Huo Dao, Cheng Yuan and others entered the city, two foreign servants also greeted them: "Wait, where did you come from, what did you do when you entered the city?"

Cheng Yuan, Cheng Yongye, Cheng Yunchuan and the other three are all internal martial artists full of qi and blood, and their momentum alone is very comparable. And the Huo Dao in front of them had a faint awe-inspiring aura.

According to the usual practice, foreign soldiers still have to ask about this kind of unfamiliar warrior.

"I guess it's also an internal martial artist who has come to participate in the Heavenly and Human Trials, right?" one of the foreign soldiers muttered to himself.

"Three at a time? Could it be the martial arts halls or clans in which towns?"

He looked at Cheng Yuan and the others with some envy and awe.

Each of the martial artists who can participate in the trials of heaven and man has reached the peak of their qi, blood and spirit, representing a period of peak and strength.

Even in Youhe County, these people can be regarded as characters, far from being comparable to their foreign service.
