"It's all cleaned up?" Cheng Mingyuan looked at them with a smile, and Huo Dao picked up the teacup and drank it all on the side.

"Almost. Cheng Yongye nodded.

Cheng Mingyuan looked at Cheng Yuan and Cheng Yunchuan: "Yunchuan, Ah Yuan, you are all going to participate in the Heavenly and Human Trial for the first time, if there is anything you don't understand on the way, ask your Uncle Yongye more." ”

Cheng Yuan and Cheng Yunchuan responded in succession.

"You all have a lot of silver taels with you, right?" Cheng Mingyuan took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms: "You can exchange them for silver tickets with me, and leave some loose silver for pocket money, which is more convenient." ”

Cheng Yuan and the others immediately exchanged with Cheng Mingyuan, and Cheng Yuan exchanged a total of 170 taels of silver tickets, and left five or six taels of broken silver.

"Yun Chuan, this is Xiao Jing Yuan Dan, eating one a day is enough to maintain the peak of qi and blood, and you don't need to eat other meals, which can save a lot of time and energy. ”

Cheng Mingyuan took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Cheng Yunchuan: "During the trial of heaven and man, you must maintain the peak of your spirit and spirit. ”

"What about Uncle Yongye and Ah Yuan?" Cheng Yunchuan hesitantly took the porcelain vase.

"I've never been used to eating this, and it's always uncomfortable not to have a full stomach, so I don't need it. Cheng Yongye waved his hand and shook his head.

"Me too. Cheng Yuan grinned.

In fact, after he became a celestial, he had always eaten Jingyuan Dan, and the old patriarch also knew it.

"Just do your best, don't be nervous. After dealing with the chores, Cheng Mingyuan advised.

"Let's go!" Huo Dao, who had been silent next to him, finally stood up and said directly.

~~~~~~~~

Soon, Cheng Yuan, Cheng Yongye, and Cheng Yunchuan followed Huo Dao out of Zhuangzi, but there were more than a dozen clansmen from the Chengjiazhuang hunting team, including Cheng Yongshi.

They went to Heiyuan Town to transport the prey accumulated in the clan such as cured meat, furs and other prey to the town to sell, and would also buy some salt, crude iron, cloth and other goods that Zhuangzi needed.

Chengjiazhuang and his party went on the official road along the way.

The official road is wide, and the ground is solid. On both sides, there are large tracts of farmland reclaimed by Chengjiazhuang, where many crops are grown.

Not only Chengjiazhuang, but also many Zhuangzi reclaimed farmland on both sides of the official road near Zhuangzi.

First, after the crops are harvested, they can be transported directly from the official road, which is more convenient.

Second, near the official road, the terrain is open, the yin qi is weak, and the danger is relatively small.

Heiyuan Town is about 80 miles away from Chengjiazhuang, and the journey is about 100 miles with the detour.

However, this is just a morning's journey for the speed of the men of Chengjiazhuang.

Soon, they had traveled thirty or forty miles.

When passing by a deep valley next to the official road, Huo Dao, who had not said a word all the way, looked there and paused slightly.

"What's wrong?Brother Huo?" asked Cheng Yuan.

Huo Dao shook his head, as if talking to himself: "Qingzhou's yin qi is getting thicker and thicker. ”

Cheng Yuan frowned slightly, looking at the deep valley next to him, with the induction of heaven and man, he could indeed detect the trace of yin qi contained in it.

Although, with this faint yin qi, it is impossible to give birth to ghosts, let alone become a region like a yin forest.

However, in the past, in this deep valley, even an internal strength martial artist could feel that there was not the slightest yin qi.

Coupled with Huo Dao's words, a trace of bad feelings faintly rose in Cheng Yuan's heart.

"Is the world changing?"

......

Approaching noon, Chengjiazhuang's team rushed to Heiyuan Town.

Heiyuan Town is the largest town within a radius of dozens of miles, with seven or eight thousand households living there, which is much larger than Chengjiazhuang.

As soon as Huo Dao entered Heiyuan Town, he found a restaurant to sit and waited for the people of Chengjiazhuang to finish their own affairs.

"Tut, this Heiyuan Town is better than our Chengjiazhuang. Look at this street, they are all bricks paved with bluestone, and the tiles on the house are also green tiles, which are much better than the clay tiles burned by ourselves in our Zhuangzi. ”

Cheng Yunye, who came with the hunting team, sighed.

"Can that be the same?" A man from the hunting team squinted at Cheng Yunye: "There are people who have burned bricks and tiles for generations in Heiyuan Town, isn't it better than our Zhuangzi?"

"Okay, don't look at it, I'll go sell the goods first, and I'll take you to have a good look. Cheng Yongshi, the captain of the hunting team, urged with a smile.

Soon, they turned down the street into a courtyard, and they were immediately greeted by a smiling shopkeeper.

"The heroes of Chengjiazhuang! Come on, come on, this cart of goods is pulled inside. ”

"Shopkeeper Zhao, meet again. Cheng Yongshi said familiarly.

"Hey, I've been looking forward to you for days. Shopkeeper Zhao said as he began to check the leather goods, cured meat, animal bones, etc. on the car: "Wait a minute, I'll calculate it for you immediately." ”

"Uncle Yongshi, Uncle Yongye, I'll go to the town first. Cheng Yuan said on the side.

"Okay, let's go to the Shen Ji restaurant where Master Huo is staying later. Cheng Yongye nodded.

Cheng Yuan has been to Heiyuan Town many times, and he has always been calm, and they are not worried about Cheng Yuan.

On the streets of Heiyuan Town, there are all kinds of busy people who make a living, as well as some restaurants, wine shops, etc., as well as several ready-to-wear shops, grain and oil shops, gouache shops, and pedestrians.

Cheng Yuan turned a few streets all the way and came to a shop with a signboard that read "Three Feet of Incense".

This is a bookstore, the façade is not large, but after entering, it is quite tidy, there are several shelves, and there are many books.

"The guests are coming, take your time. The shopkeeper of the bookstore was a middle-aged man with a bit of Sven and wearing a long robe, and when he saw Cheng Yuan coming, he smiled familiarly, and looked at the books in his hand.

Cheng Yuan also nodded slightly and signaled in response.

Every time he came to Kurohara, he would come to this bookstore, which was one of only a few bookstores in Kurohara Town.

He walked into the bookstore, looked briefly at the shelves, and soon took down three or four books and placed them in front of the shopkeeper's cabinet.

"Oh, the guest bought a lot of books this time. The shopkeeper glanced at him in surprise and calculated: "The thirteenth volume of "The Legend of Killing Ghosts", the fourteenth volume of "The Legend of Killing Ghosts". "Miscellaneous Talks on the Netherworld" and "Ten Years of Strange Stories", a total of 960 articles. ”

Cheng Yuan took out a small ingot of silver, which was one or two.

In the past, he had to save some, but now that he has become a celestial, he can obtain the power of the underworld by slaying ghosts, and he can easily earn a lot of money, so he doesn't have to be too frugal.

The shopkeeper wore a small string of copper plates to him, a total of forty wen, and said with a smile: "Go slowly." ”

"I wish the shopkeeper a prosperous business. ”

Cheng Yuan also nodded and smiled, picked up the four books and copper coins and left, and walked towards Shen Ji's restaurant.

The legend of slaying ghosts and talking about the Netherworld are all similar to the chattering stories of the previous life, and the records are all about ghosts and gods, or the legends of some powerful warriors who kill ghosts.

True or false, some are made up, and some are true.

For example, Old Man Zhao in Youhe County is a powerful martial arts master who once killed ghosts and gods with a slashing sword fifteen years ago.

This deed was compiled into it by the legend of the ghost slayer, and it was widely spread near Youhe County, making Old Man Zhao a legend.

"Ah Yuan, come and sit. ”

As soon as Cheng Yuan entered Shen Ji's restaurant, Cheng Yongye sat at the table in the corner of the restaurant, beckoned to him, and turned his head to urge: "Old Shen, hurry up and serve the food, we are all hungry with our chests and backs!"

Huo Dao also sat on the table, seemingly closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Okay!" responded from the back kitchen of the restaurant, and soon, a simple old man came over with a few dishes.

"Good men, use it slowly!" the old man put down the dish and greeted, and smiled at Cheng Yuan: "Far from the future, it won't take two years, you can also participate in the heavenly trial, right?"

Shen Ji's restaurant was opened by this old man's family, and he generally called Cheng Yuan "Far Queen".
