Chapter 100 [Change Your Mind Along the Way and Merge into Mortals]
The sun is fierce, and the sun is wilting.
Zhang Jingxuan was drowsy, leaning against the carriage and yawning, moving to the side from time to time, trying not to squeeze himself into others.
It's a horse-drawn carriage that travels long distances.
In ancient times, the foot teeth of the car and ship shop were five relatively low trades. Although the industry is low, it is closely related to life, the so-called existence is reasonable, and the carriage and horse trade are essential.
After all, it is a long-distance traveler who carries travelers through the county, not only to be careful of bandits and bandits along the way, but also to face the danger of night fog.
Therefore, if the coachman's personality is not strong enough, it is difficult to mix in the carriage and horse business.
The business is difficult, but there is not much to earn.
Because the low-end carriage can only attract civilian customers, and the slightly richer people will definitely not choose, just imagine, more than a dozen people are crowded in the carriage, not to mention the cramped space, the smell alone is unbearable.
If you add to this the seasonal problem, such as the scorching summer sun, the sun burns like a furnace, and the inside of the basking car is like a steamer.
Therefore, this sin is not something that ordinary people can suffer......
But then again, there is no unbearable sin in the world, especially the poor people in this era, they will never leave their hometown unless they have to, and once they leave their hometown for a long journey, they must have encountered a major event.
In ancient times, when a trip to a long distance, all kinds of accidents could happen, and the night of this world was dangerous, and ordinary people would never dare to go on the road alone.
The only option is to take a ride on a horse.
But once you ride a carriage or horse, the cost is inevitable, and for ordinary people, many people cannot afford the carriage and horses.
So in this case, the livelihood of the speller appeared.
The coachmen who make a living in this kind of business are all more similar.
Most of them are some strong men, with a fierce and fearless personality, because they are unwilling to shrink in the fields to plan, so they sell all their belongings, plus borrow from east to west, and scrape together money to buy two horses......
There are horses and cars, the cost of the car is greater, the new coachman has spent everything, there is definitely no spare money to build a carriage, so he can only go to the dart bureau to anchor, using the way of people to cooperate.
Although the coachman wants to go out of the horse, the cost of eating and chewing is very large, but the way to share the profit after making money is that the dart game of the car occupies the lion's share.
The game of darts will generally take 70% of the profits.
This seventy percent is pure profit.
Seemingly exploitative, but the coachman is happy.
After all, it is a long journey, and no matter how strong a man is, it is difficult to take care of the journey, and once there is any mistake, all his belongings will be compensated.
If you cooperate with the dart board, the two sides are complementary and mutually helpful, and the dart board saves the cost of buying horses and hiring a coachman to travel, and only needs to send a dart master to protect the safety of the car, and after making money, share the profits.
With the protection of the dart board, the coachman can rest assured that he can boldly solicit business, as long as he can fill a cart of customers, he will definitely make money after transporting it.
In fact, it is not much, it is just a hard-earned money, but it is better than digging in the soil, and you have to starve in a famine year.
Therefore, the drivers who make a living in this business are satisfied with their business.
The drivers are satisfied, and the guests are even more satisfied.
Although it is crowded and difficult to suffer along the way, carpooling saves money and has a dart master to protect it, which is simply the most suitable option in the world for poor people who have to travel long distances.
The car is not a car, because the long journey is too dangerous, even if there is a dart master to follow, it is also weak, so the passenger carriage is rarely on the road alone, at least five or six cars will be gathered before the journey.
Five or six carriages go together, forming a small convoy, and the most important one is a dart master for each carriage, which adds up to five or six dart masters.
This is already a very good combat force.
In addition, the coachmen have a strong physique, and they are basically men with strong personalities, and if they encounter bandits, the coachmen can help the dart master to fight together...... The way to huddle together for warmth is nothing more than to live.
And a small fleet of five or six cars, with at least sixty or seventy individual passengers, this is also not a small scale, and the gathering is vigorous.
The yang energy is vigorous, and the number of people is nearly 100, enough to camp in the wild at night, and there is no need to find an inn to stay every night.
After all, if you find an inn to stay, you have to spend another money, whether it is a coachman, a dart master or a passenger, it is basically the lowest level of bitterness haha, so if you can spend no money, you don't spend money.
……
Zhang Jingxu chose this team because he has been a little tired recently, not physically, but psychologically.
Or rather, a kind of mental fatigue brought on by a long period of solitude.
Walking through the fog at night and washing away the ghosts of salvation, although his merits are increasing rapidly, he will inevitably feel lonely......
Human beings are social species, and it is impossible to live alone forever, although cultivators often wander away from the mountains, silently enduring loneliness for the sake of longevity, and even those immortals in the legend sit alone for hundreds of years and thousands of years at every turn, which seems to be ordinary and does not feel boring.
But for Zhang Jingxu, his current mentality is not an immortal, he has just stepped on the immortal road, and his mentality is still a mortal.
The most important thing is that along the way, he walked through the fog at night, saw too many ghosts, and heard too much misery, he redeemed the ghosts beyond the time, and let those ghosts dissipate in relief, but his own heartstrings became more and more broken, faintly breeding a dark and obscure indifference.
Zhang Jingxu knew in his heart that this was because he had heard so many ghost and tragic things that his heart was affected too much and began to affect his kind thinking.
If it continues, it will even affect his personality and make him change from a broad-minded person to a person who is bound to repay him.
This is likely to be the first threshold on the road to cultivating immortals, and it is likely to be the evil thoughts referred to in the "Taoist Book of Human Realms......
The species between heaven and earth, as long as there is spirituality, there will be good and evil, and there is no absolute good and evil under the avenue, so every living being is good and evil with one mind, even if it is cultivated into an immortal, it cannot be changed.
Immortals also have good and evil hearts, and good immortals also have evil thoughts, unless they can transcend to the extreme, they can cut out their evil thoughts, otherwise they must face the existence of good and evil, and find a way to let good thoughts suppress evil thoughts.
For immortals, there are many laws that can be done.
But for cultivators who have not yet become immortals, the best thing to do is to blend in with the crowd.
Loneliness is easy to breed obscurity, and living in a group can resolve loneliness, so after Zhang Jingxu realized this, he changed his way of walking alone in time.
It just so happened that a team of cars and horses passed by, so Zhang Jingxu paid and boarded one of the cars.
Escorting the poor on a long journey is also a meritorious thing.
Even Zhang Jingxu faintly discovered that the harvest was better than killing the evil ghosts.
Most importantly, these mortals brought him a great opportunity.
