After leaving the compound, Yu Lie walked through the damp and cold shantytown, thinking about where he should go to find a suitable place to stay.

However, he glanced at the sky and quickly let go of this idea, because the sky was bleak, and in an hour or two, the yamen in the town, which was responsible for managing the Taoist children and handing over the tasks, was about to close.

Yu Lie has to hurry up, he can only get the talisman money from the yamen if he goes over to hand over his demon subjugation task first, so that he will not continue to be penniless, and he can also have the talisman money to rent a new residence.

Walking briskly, Yu Lie came to the street, and he found that the pedestrians on the street had not become scarce because of the darkness of the sky, but had become more numerous.

Yu Lie was unimpressed.

Different from the 9-to-5 hours of the Yamen, the Taoist children in Heishui Town prefer to come out in the evening and at night, and during the day, they all like to stay in their respective residences to rest and boil their bodies.

This habit has a lot to do with the Blackwater River, because the evening and night times are the most active times for the black snakefish in the Blackwater River.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water.

Black snake fish generally have demonic energy, and their flesh and blood are greatly replenished, but they are different in size.

The small black snakefish are nowhere near as strong as real beasts, and since they live in the water, once they come ashore, they pose a much less threat to people.

Therefore, even if he is a mortal Taoist child, as long as he is lucky, he can catch a black snake fish from the Black River and earn a valuable amount of money.

But the black snake fish is only a special product within a radius of 100 miles, the entire black water river flows for thousands of miles, there are many aquariums in the river, and there are also many monsters, occasionally there will be ferocious eight-grade fierce beasts, and even seven-grade spirits jump out of the river, and hunt for Dao Tong on the shore in turn.

Such fierce beasts and monsters can only be hunted by the powerful Dao Tong in the town and the Daoist Masters!

So fishing in the Blackwater River, even on the cliffs near the town, is not so easy and safe.

What's more, Yu Lie walks down the street.

He casually glanced at the passers-by, and clearly saw that all the Taoist boys who carried fishing tools must be carrying all kinds of murderous weapons in their hands, such as axes, hooks, guns, bows, crossbows, armor, and cold light!

There are also people who carry iron cages for fishing, but they do not carry other fishing tools, but carry the most weapons and other objects.

These people are often in groups of three or five, eagles and wolves, and their faces are vicious.

Once night falls, the Taoist disciples in the yamen are relieved of work, and the town's constraints on the majority of Taoist children will naturally be weakened.

It's fine to be on the street or in a residential area, but if you're somewhere else, even if it's still within the town, it's not safe.

And in Blackwater Town at night, the most dangerous thing is often not the fierce beasts and spirits, but people, living people!

Yu Lie walked all the way, looked at it a few times, and then withdrew his gaze from the pedestrians.

Heishui Town is not big, and he soon came to the office of the Yamen.

One after another, Taoist children drilled in and out of the wide opening of the yamen, their faces were either sad or happy.

The town's yamen is not a place to judge cases, and there will not be a single case in Heishui Town that will be judged in the yamen for a year, and its main use is to provide official rewards and places to receive tasks.

Together with the yamen, there are also the government-run Danfang, the government-run butcher's shop, the government-run bookstore, the Taoist courtyard and so on.

Yu Lie blended into the crowd, and it didn't take long for him to come out of the yamen hall again.

Yu Lie's luck was good, during the time he was in retreat and cultivation, someone had already visited several places where he had eliminated demons and verified his results one by one.

After walking out of the yamen, the rest of the column was enriched, and he had a large sum of money, enough for him to live comfortably for a while.

This surprised Yu Lie a little.

The reason why he received the task of slaying demons in the first place was just to get the traces of fierce beasts and hunt fierce beasts, but he didn't care too much about the rewards after completing the task.

Only now did I find out that although these bounties could not be compared with the capital he made when he eliminated the demon, they were still a sum or two.

Unexpected joy is a good celebration.

However, when Yu Lie stepped out of the yamen, he found that because of his fast steps, he did not have a long queue to receive the reward, and it was still early when he came out, and it was not dark, and several halls next to the yamen were also open.

So Yu Lie thought about it, thinking that two trips were better than one, so he turned his steps and walked towards the Dao Urn Courtyard next to him.

The Dao Courtyard is a place under the command of the Dao Court that is responsible for assessing Taoists, promoting ranks, teaching etiquette, etc., which is roughly similar to the household registration courtyard of the special management people, and also contains a lot of other duties.

For example, a remote and small town like Heishui Town is also responsible for arranging shelter, distributing food, and assigning jobs to the new Taoist children.

The building of the Dao Zong Courtyard is not large, but unlike the stone structure of the rest of the place, it is a pure wood structure, although it is all logs, not even the paint is painted, but the outermost part is coated with a layer of scarlet powder, which barely creates a temple appearance with red mud and powder walls.

But when Yu Lie walked in, he still felt like he had left the rough town of Blackwater and arrived at a real monastic place.

Approaching the end of work, there was only one old Taoist boy left in the main hall of the courtyard sitting on the platform, and there were several immature gray-robed Taoist children waiting, all of whom nodded and bowed, flattering the old Taoist on the stage.

Yu Lie was at the back of the line, and he could clearly see that the hands of the gray-robed Dao boys were more or less carrying fish and meat, large bags and small bags.

The old Taoist boy on the stage stared at the cloudy dead fish eyes, and without raising his eyelids, he sent the waiting Taoist children away one by one.

"Soul bass? It's a rarity in the town, but it's a pity it stinks. Do you want to go to the farm and grow a meat field? No, the fish is too smelly, either be a landless tenant farmer first, or take the fish back first. ”

"Do you want to come to the Dao Courtyard to work? No matter how much money you give, it's useless, and when I'm dying, I'll try again. ”

"Tiger meat? Since it's a gift, it's better to mention a tiger whip, there is no demonic aura, and it can also be a little commotion. Honestly, I'm missing this. Yes? Delivered tomorrow? Then you will come back tomorrow. ”

This dead fish-eyed old Taoist boy is the official staff responsible for assigning various positions to the Taoist boys who come to receive positions.

The Dao boys who have just come to Heishui Town will not only be able to stay for free for the first three years, but the town will also promise to provide an opportunity to learn the skills of cultivation, and the alchemy refining talisman array is available, which will ensure the survival of the Dao children for the first three years.

The big bags in the hands of the Taoist children in the Dao Urn Courtyard are used to bribe the dead fish-eyed old Dao, hoping to get a better position.

Because just like the miscellaneous courtyards arranged for free, the positions provided by the town are also countless pits, and if you are not careful, your life will be lost.

Yu Lie was patient, and finally it was his turn.

The dead fish-eyed old man on the stage asked, "Name?" ”

"Yu Li."

"Well, I found it, there is no position for the time being, and the qualifications are not used. Also here to get work? ”

"Recently, there is a position in the Danfang, so it's safe."

When the dead fish heard this, he still stared at it, and said without raising his eyelids: "Yes, medicine slaves, corpse slaves, medicine picking slaves...... Which one are you going to pick? ”

Yu Lie's brows furrowed subconsciously when he heard these choices.

The medicine slave is a test drug, and everyone knows that its end must be miserable; The corpse slave raises the corpse with his own yang energy; The medicine picker is responsible for going out of the town to collect medicine......

Every position that the old Tao said is a short-lived fire pit position! The first two are certain to die, and the third is not necessarily dead, but they often die the fastest, and the most dead have no bones left.
