Chapter 41: Animal Husbandry
Cloud Edge City.
A huge city appeared in front of Chu Fan's eyes, and an old man who carried dung walked through the city gate, and was stopped by the city guards to collect dung tax.
"My lord, I'm just a dung picker, how can I have money, you can do it, there are still two acres of thin land waiting for me to plant."
The old man bent down and pleaded with a soldier in soft armor.
"No money? If you don't have money, don't pass! ”
"You pick a stinking dung out all day long, are we really comfortable as soldiers?"
The soldiers made it clear that they wanted to embarrass the old man, and the passers-by were very indifferent to this scene, as if they were no longer surprised.
"I'll pay for him, is that enough?"
Chu Fan's face was calm, and he took out some broken spirits, all of which were spirit stones that he had used in the main god space.
When the spirit stone aura is exhausted, it becomes a broken spirit, and the broken spirit in this world is also a way of trading.
"Enough, enough!"
Feeling the weight of the shattered spirit, the soldier immediately smiled.
"Get out! This lord paid for you! ”
Hearing the roar of the soldiers, the old man was relieved, bent down again and again to thank him, and immediately picked up the dung load and went into the city.
"Thank you, officer! Thank you, officer! ”
Chu Fan waved his hand and asked, while entering the city with the old man.
"To which country does this city belong? I'm from the Outlands, so I don't know much about this place. ”
"Also, what's going on in this country lately?"
"No wonder the official looks like a talent, it turns out that he is a distinguished guest from a foreign land." The old man already felt that Chu Fan's outfit was a little weird, so it made sense.
"Our city is Yunbian City, and it is actually a city in the Great Wilderness Frontier Region, and there are several cities next to it, which are similar to here.
Now that the new emperor of our Divine Sect has just taken office, I am afraid that the demon clan will come soon. ”
"Official, it's really not the right time for you to come, this demon clan slaughtered the city without blinking, I advise you, it's better to leave here and go to the land of the Divine Sect, where it is safer."
The old man shook his head and replied to Chu Fan while carrying the dung burden.
"Since you know that the demons will come soon, why don't you flee to another city?" Chu Fan asked, looking at the vendors selling on the side of the road and the passers-by coming and going, and continued to ask.
"How can you go, if you change cities, you don't even have a piece of land, and you don't have a household, so you can only be a homeless, a homeless person is not a person, and anyone can be oppressed.
And there are demon beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, and mortals are afraid that there are not even bones left. ”
"The surrounding villages are plagued by bandits, hey, it's not the same everywhere."
Many soldiers on the tall city wall stood loosely, not even bothering to take their weapons, and the faces of the vendors and pedestrians on the road were mostly numb.
Chu Fan listened to the old man's words and thought thoughtfully.
It's not the same everywhere, between this heaven and earth, ordinary mortals are sometimes inferior to ants.
"Official, my old man's house is in front, although it is not big, but there is also a clean courtyard, and tea is prepared for officials to drink."
Chu Fan nodded slightly and watched the old man leave.
Suddenly, Chu Fan was attracted by the lively scene in front of him, and it turned out to be a juggling performer performing a monkey show.
Several big men squatted beside the carriage, and several small monkeys were held in cages on the carriage, among which the monkey who was performing was wearing a broken red hexagram and a dirty red purse around his neck.
Syllable!
The monkey man whipped down, the monkey's skin opened, and the tears of the beaten were shining, but he didn't open his mouth to howl, but he saw that it kept kneeling and kowtowing, and everyone was rewarded with copper coins and broken spirits.
The kowtow movement is slow, and another whip passes.
The other monkeys were stubborn, but this monkey was able to kowtow like a human to please the guests, and everyone was amazed to see this very spiritual monkey, and the onlookers gathered more and more.
Some people felt bloody, and said that they should not fight anymore, put down some copper coins and left, and immediately another person squeezed in.
Some people were full of smiling faces, and they beat them harder.
The monkey trickster saw that everyone was rewarding, and he was even more energetic.
At this moment, a woman suddenly squeezed in from the crowd and pushed the monkey trickster away.
"Little one!"
"Is that you?"
The woman looked at the monkey's red purse in disbelief, and when she saw the monkey's tearful eyes clearly, she couldn't help crying anymore.
"It's my little one!"
"Kid! I've worked so hard to find you! O my child! ”
When the little monkey who kowtowed again and again saw the woman who was touching him, two lines of light red blood and tears flowed from his eyes.
"Where did the mad woman come from? Get out of here! ”
Seeing this scene, several big men hurriedly turned over and got off and scolded the woman.
"This is my child! This is still his red purse, I made it for him when he was three years old to ward off evil spirits! ”
The woman hurriedly picked up the monkey's red purse and showed it to the onlookers.
"Fuck off! Mad woman! ”
Several big men pulled the woman's hand and forcibly separated the little monkey.
"Let my child go! You brutes! ”
The woman struggled desperately, but after all, she couldn't match the strength of a few big men, and was thrown out of the crowd.
"Don't care, ladies and gentlemen, this is a crazy woman, this is clearly my family's monkey, how can a monkey be a human?"
The monkey man smiled apologetically at the crowd and calmed everyone.
"Yes, how can this monkey be a human, eighty percent of this woman lost her child and went crazy."
"That's not necessarily, it is said that there is animal husbandry in the Western Regions, and children are often lost because of ......"
"Shhhh Be quiet! ”
The crowd of spectators talked about it, and whether they believed it or not, more spectators with children pulled their children away.
Seeing this, the monkey trickster swept through the coldness and immediately regained his smile.
"Thank you for your support, our brothers still need to rush to the next city to perform, we are destined to meet you again!"
Several big men and monkey tricksters hurriedly pulled the monkeys into the carriage, and the onlookers were about to leave.
"The host wants to be this great good man?"
The voice of the Lord God suddenly sounded in his head.
Animal Creation Technique, a low-level Jianghu technique on the side of this world, the creator only needs a very low cultivation to be able to draw qi into the body.
Children between the ages of three and nine were skinned and put into live skins, and then reiki and decoction were infused to stimulate the growth of the two together, and the "monkeys" who knew human nature were created.
In this way, the "human monkey" is more spiritual, can read people's speech, and does not need to spend a lot of time training to act tricks and make money.
"If the road is uneven and I draw my sword, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to move an inch."
Chu Fan was also among the visitors, and with his cultivation in the Jindan period, he knew what was going on as soon as his eyes fell on the monkey.
It is precisely because I can see it clearly that I shudder even more.
Close your eyes and let go of your divine sense to investigate, there is also a beast performance team in the westernmost part of the city, which is made of living people who wrap their limbs in animal skins.
There are many drinkers who are eating monkey brains alive in the restaurant on the side of the road, fixing the demon monkey in the middle of the table, knocking open the skull, pouring boiling oil and eating with a spoon.
The monkey was still screaming and rolling its eyes in pain.
There was a casino in the south of the city, and as soon as the gambler who had won the money walked into the alley, his throat was cut and his money and belongings were taken away.
There is an old temple of the city god at the end of the east of the city, there are a lot of abandoned babies left next to the old temple, the cry is weak, there are many pilgrims who come and go in the old temple to kneel and worship, ask for wealth, ask for peace.
Half of the Xiucai in Yunbian City Prison were detained and burned by officials who had already been bought.
Chu Fan opened his eyes slightly, shook the spirit sword on his waist, and was about to pull it out.
But finally let go and prepared to leave.
