Chapter 462: Tiger Lion City (I)
The lake is located at the southwest junction of Wuzhen. This area is also nicknamed Beizi by the locals.
In the various cities of Waimen Lingshan, there is no prison facility, and all those who have committed crimes will be sent to the deep mountain mining area to do hard labor for several months or years, and those who can survive cannot return to their hometowns, but are sent to the three Lingshan of Weiji Mountain and Fengshan to serve as medicine collectors. Most of these people will be absorbed by various families in the city and border towns. Become a family medicine collector who can reduce a lot of taxes, and some people are either not looked down upon or unwilling to be constrained, these people will be controlled in one place. The area around Nanhu in Wuzhen is the gathering place where all the people who are unwilling or unable to join the various families after serving in the military service in Weiji Mountain, among these people are both extinct people and mud that can't support the wall, in short, this area is a mixture of dragons and snakes. At sixes and sevens. It's just that this situation has improved a lot since Xiongliancheng established the Tiger Eye Hall, and many outlaws have been absorbed by the Tiger Ni Hall, and with a series of rules formulated by the Tiger Pillow Hall, the whole. The South Lake area is gradually becoming calmer, at least on the surface.
I don't know if Mother Li is intentional or not. The house he found for Xu Changqing is located at the very end of the South Lake, close to the source of the South Lake River, that is, the outlet of the South Lake. This is the edge of the fog town, close to the city wall, because of the Nanhu River sluice, every time there is a beast tide in the forest, this will be the first to be breached. Therefore, the various forces in the city have built another wall around this area, completely isolating this area from the rest of Fog Town, and this place has also become a vacuum of forces, and even the Tiger Pillow Hall does not want to take this mess under its command.
The house rented by Li's mother for Xu Changqing, near the city wall and next to the Nanhu River, is a little remote, with three crumbling houses and an overgrown garden. Although this place was very bad, it was a very good temporary residence for Xu Changqing, because the people who lived around were not only the mortals of Weiji Mountain, but also the mortals of other Spirit Mountains, which was of great benefit to Xu Changqing to understand the situation of the entire Kunlun mortal world.
After Xu Changqing moved here, he cleaned the inside and outside of some houses, strengthened the houses, replaced a few main beams that were about to break, and then cleaned up the small garden near the river, and used the elixir seeds collected in the forest before to ripen them with the Dafa of life and death, and built this into a medicine garden. It's just that Xu Changqing is shocking to the world, and he doesn't want to attract the attention of people with intentions because of the aura emitted by the maturity of the elixir. None of the top-grade elixirs such as dragon's blood wood and medium-grade elixirs such as the Soul Restoration Grass were planted, and all the herbs he planted were low-grade elixirs such as the Night Crying Fruit. These elixirs are listed as ordinary elixirs in the pharmacopoeia, and they are also very common in the forest, and most of the pharmacists who know how to plant in Fog Town will also plant some of these low-grade elixirs with high survival rate and short growth cycle and some ordinary herbs. So that in the event of an accident, the family can continue to pay the medicine rent without being kicked out of town.
After having a certain understanding of the mortal life here, Xu Changqing knew that if he wanted to integrate into the life here, he should first do something. It is to go to the Inner City Reward and Punishment Hall to get a natal jade plate that represents the identity. For ordinary mortals. This jade plaque is very important, whether it is to buy food items or to trade and sell. All need to use this jade and brand. The jade plaque cannot be used by others when the owner of the jade plaque dies. The jade and the card will also be broken, and the fairy spirit treasure originally owned in the jade card will also disappear, and the jade card can be lost to the reward and punishment hall to take a piece, and the fairy spirit treasure in the jade card will also be invalid. Therefore, the vast majority of mortals in Kunlun will have more than two jade plates, one jade plate that does not have many fairy spirit treasures on their bodies, and the rest of the jade cards will be hidden at home, or most of the fairy spirit treasure will be transferred to their family members, so as to avoid possible accidents.
The jade plaques of each city and border town are different. It can't be used with each other, if it's a foreigner who comes to Fog Town, you can take the reward and punishment hall to change your old jade card origin, or get a new jade card, Xu Changqing is to get a new jade card. Although Xu Changqing had seen Li Yongfeng's jade plate before, he didn't look at it carefully that time, let alone study it in depth. Therefore, after receiving the jade plate, Xu Changqing began to analyze the structure of the jade plate, and destroyed a total of thirteen jade plates in five days before he fully understood the composition of this natal jade plate. And his act of receiving thirteen jade medals in five days also caused some small commotion. Although the first jade plate does not cost money, but each jade card in the back needs to pay ten points, Immortal Soul Tongbao, Xu Changqing spent a total of twenty-three lower grade spirit grasses in five days. Although this is nothing in the eyes of most people, it is completely different in the eyes of people in the Nanhu area, after all, the annual medicine rent is only thirty lower grade spirit grasses.
Xu Changqing's actions were not unguessed. After all, he is not the first person who wants to crack the secret of jade and brand, and there have been people who have delusionally tried to crack the jade card in order to obtain the endless fairy spirit treasures, but unfortunately all of them have failed. Therefore, most of Xu Changqing's eyes look like they are stupid. But how could they know that Xu Changqing had completely cracked the secret of the jade card, and he had completely mastered the formation diagram in the jade card, and it was no exaggeration to say that he could also make such a jade card lightly. However, he had no clue about the most important fairy spirit treasure in the jade plate, because as long as he penetrated the jade plate with his divine thoughts, the fairy spirit treasure in the jade card would immediately dissipate, as if there had never been a zài. If he wanted to fully understand the Immortal Soul Treasure, unless he stole the Immortal Soul Treasure in the Reward and Punishment Hall to add the Immortal Soul Treasure to the jade plate, but this would go against his original intention of keeping a low profile, and in the end he had to give up this opportunistic method. honestly regarded himself as an ordinary Kunlun mortal.
Like most of the mortals in Fog Town who are not medicine pickers, Xu Changqing also made a living, he cleared the houses near the street, and then made a few medicine cabinets and opened a medical hall. Although Xu Changqing has the Fog Town Dharma Arm and can exempt him from the medicine rent for one year, he still has to pay a monthly commercial tax of five lower-grade elixirs or one hundred and sixty immortal spirit treasures to open a medical hall. The mortal city of Lingshan outside Kunlun is very strict about the price of some goods. For example, the doctor's consultation fee for the doctor's consultation, the carriage fare, etc., these prices are fixed, and the medicinal materials required for the diagnosis can only be purchased from the family's medicine store. ,
But opening a clinic in a slum like the South Lakes area is not a good idea. The vast majority of people here are pharmacists themselves, and although they don't know any exquisite medical skills, they also have one or two special prescriptions. For ordinary diseases, they don't need to go to the hospital at all, they only need to collect medicine according to the prescription, and sometimes they don't even need to go to collect medicine, and they can get enough medicinal materials directly by bartering on the Nanhu black market. Since the account was opened, more than ten days have passed, no one has come to Xu Changqing's medical hall to see a doctor, fortunately, Xu Changqing's opening of the medical center is just a cover, and the elixirs in the backyard are enough for him to live here safely and securely for a long time
Finish.
On the eleventh day after moving to Nanhu, Xu Changqing's mind felt that the guide charm left on Li Yongfeng's body appeared outside Fog Town, and it seemed that Li Yongfeng had returned to Fog Town from Identification City. Perhaps because he was stopped by Li's mother, Li Yongfeng, who returned to Wuzhen, stayed at home, but he seemed to have some connections, and in the past few days of being locked up at home, he found Xu Changqing's current residence through his connections. After that, he asked someone to send Xu Changqing the ten Immortal Muscle Jade Body Pills and the five high-grade elixir seeds collected by the medicine pickers under Tong Guò to Xu Changqing, and conveyed his apologies for Mother Li's rude behavior, and showed his determination not to give up, it seems that he will not give up the ambition in his heart.
The poor people in Nanhu are naturally xenophobic, and Xu Changqing is a fool who opens a medical center in the slums in their eyes, so that Xu Changqing still hasn't met one after living in Nanhu for more than a month. Locals. On the contrary, some gang members who often live in the streets of Nanhu often appear at the door of his medical hall from time to time, perhaps preparing for predatory money, and even sneaked into his medicine garden a few times, but the medicine garden protected by the formation only let them see the illusion of some ordinary herbs. After that, since he didn't wait for a guest to come to see a doctor, nor did he wait for those people in the gang to come to send the God of Wealth, he waited for an unexpected uninvited guest.
"You are Mr. Xu from Bird City, and I am also very familiar with Bird City, but I have never heard of such a person as you. With a breeze blowing into the medical hall, there was already an eight-foot-tall giant man with a beard opposite Xu Changqing, and I saw him sitting on a chair like the master here. His fingers tapped on the tabletop, his slightly brown eyes stared at Xu Changqing, and his body naturally exuded an oozing momentum, making him look like a general in charge of killing.
If it weren't for the completely different appearance, Xu Changqing almost thought that the person in front of him was dressed as Long Jinbao. Because the momentum on his body is extremely similar to Long Jinbao, the difference between the two is that Long Jinbao has more demonic energy, while the breath on the person in front of him has a trace that is extremely imperceptible.
"The owner of the Tiger Pillow Hall is Xiongliancheng?" Xu Changqing has already learned a lot of things about the streets and alleys of Nanhu from the chats between the surrounding residents, and the most heard is naturally the owner of the Huzhen Hall in the surrounding area of Nanhu, and he also knows about his appearance, and who can have such momentum in Nanhu, Xu Changqing is naturally not difficult to recognize the identity of the person.
"Feiyan said that you are from Louguan Dao, but this seat knows who is the person sent by the Louguan Dao Sword and the Second Sect of Law this time? The momentum on Xiongliancheng's body disappeared in vain, and even the immortal aura that was close to entering the Dao also dissipated, and he became an ordinary Fog Town Gang leader at this moment, but his eyes were still staring at Xu Changqing, and he said, "Who are you?" ”
