Chapter 34: Entering Liangzhou City, Test

After leaving the resting pavilion, Xu Chong took the tiger servant and walked along the avenue to the front.

Looking up at the sky, the sun had begun to set in the west, and it was estimated that it should be four o'clock in the afternoon.

I looked down at the Qiankun bag, which was already filled with mung beans.

Since it was less than five miles away from Liangzhou City, Xu Chong did not conjure up any more Tsing Yi soldiers to help carry things, mainly for fear of causing misunderstanding among the city defense troops in Liangzhou City.

Without the help of the mung bean soldiers, the next way, the tiger servant was covered with packages and followed closely behind Xu Chong.

The main thing is that the six heads of the six demons of Liangshan occupy the place, but for the tiger servants who have broken through to the elite monsters, it is nothing at all.

Fortunately, the temperature is relatively low now, and the heads are not rotten, but there is a slight peculiar smell, which is difficult to detect if you don't come closer.

If it were summer, it is estimated that these six human heads would have been extremely rancid and miserable.

As the master and servant strode forward.

Soon, on the horizon in the distance, a majestic city appeared.

The first Xiongcheng in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty: Liangzhou City, is already in sight!

From a great distance, people can clearly see a dark black strong city wall, standing on the plain, on the left and right, with almost no end in sight.

The city wall is as high as five zhang and extremely thick.

As Xu Chong followed the flow of people into the city, he continued to approach the city, and because he had swallowed Zhu Guo, his eyesight was now excellent.

From a distance of hundreds of meters, it can be clearly seen that on the strong and majestic city wall, there are many Tang soldiers in yellow clothes.

Especially through the battlements above the city, you can even faintly see groups of soldiers armed with spears, patrolling back and forth to change guards.

Under the southern city defense of Liangzhou City, the city gate is double-opened, the left gate goes out of the city, and the right gate enters the city.

Xu Chong followed the crowd entering the city and went directly to the city gate on the right.

Outside the city gate, there are routine inspections of officers and soldiers, as well as the office space of small officials.

The first time you enter the city, you must show things like household registration, degrees, and Taoist charms, which are contained in these Xu Chong packages.

In addition, outsiders who enter the city for the first time also have to pay taxes, register in the register, and then hand in important items such as their household registration degree, and then issue a temporary waist tag with identity information printed on it.

With this temporary waist card, you can enter and exit freely in Liangzhou City in the future, but only in Liangzhou.

Wait until one day, you don't want to stay here, or you want to go somewhere else, and then go to the relevant department in the city, hand in the temporary waist card, and get back to your household registration.

Anyway, when you enter Liangzhou City for the first time, there will be some cumbersome processes and procedures......

In a world like this Xianwu, the mobility of personnel is not very large.

Ordinary ordinary people, if they have no backstage and no money, the government does not allow them to run around.

Ordinary people can't go anywhere except for farming in their hometowns, and they go to the county seat to catch up with the assembly on weekdays, and they all go out of the way.

Except, of course, for the outcasts and bandits.

At present, in the territory of Datang, the most mobile and the most free are still the three categories of immortal masters, warriors, and literati.

There are also some caravans and dart boards...... However, they generally carry road signs and road flags, and under normal circumstances, officers and soldiers will directly let them go and will not deliberately check them.

It took Xu Chong some time before he successfully entered the city with the tiger servant.

Liangzhou City is worthy of being the first male city in the northwest.

The city is full of traffic, and it is extremely lively and prosperous.

Especially the green building, there are many, many ......

But the bean fairy was dismissive, because he had more important things to do, carrying the head to exchange money.

The tiger servant's forehead was covered with a fairy seal, and the content of the seal was very simple and rude: Demon!

There are many immortal masters in Datang, and they all have demon servants around them, so when they enter the city, they must be stamped with immortal seals.

After stamping the immortal seal, if the demon servant commits something in the city, it will definitely leave a special aura, as long as someone reports to the official, the government can quickly send someone to track down and arrest him.

After entering the city, Xu Chong went to the yamen as soon as possible, and he had to take the heads of the six evils of Liangshan to exchange for a reward, otherwise, if he waited for another day, it would really stink.

Sure enough, Xu Chong guessed correctly, the head of the six evils of Liangshan does have a reward, but it is not very many.

Except for the head of the alliance leader Zhou Tiefist, which is worth 1,000 taels of silver, the other five heads together are only 500 taels.

A total of 1,500 taels of silver were exchanged.

To be honest, this is much less than Xu Chong imagined.

"There must be more than so many heads in Liangshan Liusha, there are definitely cats in it......"

Now, Xu Chong's hands are almost close to eight thousand taels of silver.

Such a huge sum of money should be enough for a long time.

There was no place to live that night, Xu Chong had no choice, so he had to run to a more famous Qinglou in the city, stayed for a night, spent a little money, and a few curvy and flower-like girls coaxed the immortals very happy.

The next day, there was still no place to live, and there was no way, so Sadou Daxian went again, and he was still very happy.

On the third day, Xu Chong finally settled down.

After spending a few hundred taels of silver, he bought a fairly spacious courtyard in the city, and then hired a butler.

The housekeeper's name was Wang Fu, and he was an old man who seemed to be a little loyal, and since he was a local, he was familiar with everything in Liangzhou City, so he added furniture to the new house...... All the miscellaneous things were handed over to him to buy.

Steward Wang is very reliable and very hardworking.

In the afternoon, the whole house was clean and bright, and it looked brand new.

You only need to move in directly.

In the evening, after dinner, Xu Chong sat leisurely in the living room drinking tea, looking at his newly bought house, and was very happy.

It has been more than three months since I crossed over to this immortal martial world.

From today onwards, he finally has a house in this world that can shelter him from the wind and rain.

Steward Wang bent over, stood aside respectfully, and said: "The things that the immortals ordered to purchase have been purchased, and if there is anything that is not thoughtful, please ask the immortals to instruct." ”

Xu Chong took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile: "You have been a housekeeper for many immortal masters before, this matter should be more experienced than me, what is missing, what do you need, Steward Wang will look at it." ”

Hearing this, Wang Fu thought for a while and asked respectfully: "When the immortals enter the city this time, do they plan to live alone in Qingxiu, or do they want to go to the stage?" ”

Xu Chong said: "At present, I plan to go to the stage to sit on the immortal, after all, it is also the duty of my generation of monks to be able to subdue demons and eliminate demons and eliminate harm for the people." ”

"The philanthropic mind of the immortals is admirable!"

Wang Fu said again: "If the immortals want to go to Xianwufang to take the stage, then they have to hire two fairy children, and if they are at home, they have to hire a cook, a maid and two domestic servants. ”

Xu Chong nodded, "There is a housekeeper of King Lao in this matter." ”

"By the way, Steward Wang, I plan to go to Xianwufang tomorrow to take the stage, I don't know if there are any rules and etiquette there?"

Steward Wang thought for a while and said: "The Immortal Martial Workshop is under the jurisdiction of the City Patrol Division, and ordinary immortal warriors who want to enter the Immortal Martial Arts Workshop to stage must first pass the test of the City Patrol Division, and only after passing the test can they be qualified to enter it and take the stage......

Xu Chong learned from Wang Fu's mouth that Xianwufang was a special area officially planned by Liangzhou, which was specially given to those immortal masters and martial artists to work.

Within the territory of Liangzhou, there are a total of ten prefectures and ninety-three counties, which are larger than a province on the earth in the previous life.

In these prefectures and counties, within each jurisdiction, there will definitely be all kinds of murderers and criminals, or demons and monsters.

If you only rely on the Demon Suppression Division and the Six Gates, you will definitely be too busy, after all, the manpower is limited.

For example, the six gates, they usually only put their limited manpower on those big and important cases, and arrest some relatively powerful court felons.

It's the same with the Demon Suppression Division, which will only subdue the old demons and demons who are harming one side.

As for the remaining small shrimps, the City Patrol Division will choose some of them that are more powerful, or the largest ones, to take over.

And then there are some remaining caterpillars, and the City Patrol Division can't manage so much, after all, manpower is limited, and good steel must be used on the blade.

Therefore, we can only let the yamen of each prefecture and county find their own way to solve it.

However, some murderers and criminals, as well as demons and monsters, are somewhat tricky, and the yamen of various prefectures and counties have no way to take them, and they will report to the City Patrol Division, which will be recorded, and they will be considered incompetent by local officials.

Therefore, there are many times when the officials of those prefectures and counties, and even many of the victimized people, would rather pool money to go to Xianwufang to ask someone to solve the problem, rather than report it easily.

For this kind of thing, Datang officially supports it, so within each state city, a special area such as Xianwufang will be set up.

To put it bluntly, the immortal masters and warriors in the Immortal Martial Arts Workshop are all bounty hunters.

They not only take the work of ordinary people, but also take the work of various prefectures and counties, like some powerful immortal masters and martial artists, and even dare to go to the City Patrol Division to receive the reward task.

But to enter the Xianwufang stage, you must pass the test of the City Patrol Division.

Without a little real skill, it is impossible to let you in.

The so-called test is that the city patrol department asks you to catch a murderer, or to destroy a demon.

You can be a single person or a multi-person group.

After passing the test, you can enter the Xianwu Fang and get the spirit runes to participate in the Xianwu Conference.

This can be regarded as a screening before the Xianwu Conference.
