"Little brother, may I ask what is going on with this monster?"

Zhang Xian inquired cautiously and understood the power of this group of evil people, and he was afraid that he would encounter them again.

The shopkeeper said, "This spring ploughing is coming, and the Taoist chief of Nanxi Temple said that there is a drought demon, and he must collect a hundred family money, suppress the drought demon with a hundred merits, and pray for the rain of God, otherwise this year will be a big drought and there will be no harvest." ”

"Drought Demon ......"

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Xian reacted and couldn't help laughing, it turned out that it was a Taoist who was confusing the people and fooling the people's money.

The so-called 100 family money, that is, everyone pays together, and it belongs to the Shengji spell of the authentic immortal family, which condenses the Shengji spirit of everyone, and has many wonderful uses, such as the spell of Liu Yuanwai's family that I saw in Tan County.

However, according to the Taoist book, money belongs to gold, and it is necessary to collect hundreds of money when casting some heavy weapons to suppress luck, but what does this celestial change have to do with monsters, this Taoist of Nanxi Guan is clearly to make money and deliberately make up what drought demons, which is a common routine used by Fang Xian warlocks.

"Little brother, is this Nanxi Temple very famous? Why don't you find a Taoist priest who has been enshrined by the imperial court?" Zhang Xian asked.

"This Dao Master, you are practicing in the clouds, and you don't know the situation in our Nanyang City. The shopkeeper said, "This Nanxi Temple, just the living immortals who were enshrined by the imperial court, I heard what they call them Lingrune Dao, and it is very effective." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a fellow Daoist of the Spirit Rune Dao. ”

Zhang Xian suddenly realized, pretending to be very familiar with the Spirit Rune Dao, but he reacted in his heart, there are corrupt officials in the officialdom, businessmen and profiteers, and there are also bad birds in these factions of Fang Immortals.

But as long as it wasn't the group of evil people, he was relieved.

His tone changed, and he asked again: "By the way, the group of friends in the rivers and lakes just now, I don't know what kind of business they are doing, I think the guys they screw are all very heavy." ”

The shopkeeper said: "They are amazing, they are the iron gang in the city, specializing in helping the court transport iron work, I heard that their gang leader is the third son of the county guard." ”

"It turned out to be the Iron Gang!" Zhang Xian couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately understood, it turned out to be a private iron business.

Since ancient times, salt and iron are all official camps, and the three sons of this county guard are mixed in, and there is a problem at a glance for discerning people, and now all the magnates are recruiting troops and horses, and the sale of this iron is very profitable.

"Thank you, little brother, it's not early this day, and I should be on my way. ”

After finding out the situation, Zhang Xian also got up to say goodbye, put on his back and walked out of the post house.

He slowed down slightly, so as not to catch up with the Iron Gang, which would be troublesome in case he was misunderstood to be following.

In the evening, we arrived at Nanyang City.

After entering the city, he found a big inn, he asked for a separate courtyard to live in, arranged the daily medicinal food, spent more than a dozen taels of silver, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the money, this delicious food, good drink and good accommodation, the cost is really not small.

In the evening, he ate a fruit and began to meditate.

He has been successful in cultivating during this time, coupled with the fact that he killed Xie Yuanqing, his mind is normal, and his thoughts are strong, so he naturally entered the middle stage of practicing qi and transforming gods.

I meditated until late at night, fell asleep naturally, and practiced dragon transformation.

When he got up early the next day, the sky was hazy and bright, he woke up on time, ate a Bigu Dan, and started his daily compulsory classes, running in circles in the small courtyard, practicing boxing, practicing swords, and practicing strength.

At the end of the morning exercise, the shopkeeper sent breakfast, stewed a medicinal chicken, a stewed leg of mutton, vegetables and steamed buns, and a can of rice wine.

"Dao Chief, do you eat so much alone?" asked the shopkeeper curiously as he put the food on the table.

Zhang Xian's mind moved, he came to the county town to make money, this inn is full of people, why don't he take advantage of the situation to build momentum for himself, maybe there is still business to come to the door.

He casually said nonsense, and said: "What is this bit of wine and food, when I was cultivating on Kunlun Mountain, I roasted and ate a tiger every day, and the tiger meat was very firewood, if it weren't for my teeth, ordinary people wouldn't be able to chew it." ”

I have to say that his nonsense kung fu is getting more and more outrageous, anyway, ordinary people have never eaten tigers, and the devil knows whether the tiger meat is firewood or tender.

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard it, in this inn, he could be regarded as seeing a lot of bragging, but he had never seen such a brag, and said in disbelief: "Dao Chief, your Kunlun Mountain, fight a tiger every day, how many tigers do you have?"

"Hehe!" Zhang Xian smiled indifferently, pretending to be a master, and continued to talk nonsense: "You ordinary people don't know, Kunlun Mountain is the Immortal Mountain of Ten Thousand Ancestors, and there is a hundred beast garden on the mountain, and the hundred beast garden is to raise tigers and leopards or something, just like a countryman raising pigs." ”

"What? Raising tigers and leopards is the same as raising pigs?"

The shopkeeper was stunned, I didn't believe it with a look on his face, this young Taoist is too good at blowing.

"Let me tell you, there is still ...... in the Garden of Beasts Well, this chicken thigh stews well. ”

Zhang Xian said casually, while eating, he deliberately picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth with the bones, and the bones were chewed crisply.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but widen his eyes, right, this long tooth is so powerful?

"By the way, where did you just go?"

Zhang Xian pretended to forget, took another bite of the chicken thigh, ate it with the bones, chewed it, picked up the steamed buns, one bite at a time, and picked up the wine jar and drank it violently, which was more powerful than drinking cold water.

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and thought, this long is not bragging, it is really a god!

In fact, eating a bone is nothing, but being so nonsense by Zhang Xian seems to feel very mysterious.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Dao Chief, what else did you just mention in the Hundred Beast Garden?"

"Oh, in the Garden of Beasts. Zhang Xian pretended to remember it suddenly, and said: "There is a river in the garden, there is a kind of fish in the river, and the fish meat is better than tiger meat, but the fish is very smart, hiding at the bottom of the river, I remember once catching a fish, staying at the bottom of the river for three days and three nights, and almost shutting me up to death." ”

"Three days and three nights at the bottom of the river...... shopkeeper was stunned, this young Taoist is not a Taoist who knows how to spell!

Zhang Xian said as he ate the stewed chicken almost, and began to eat the leg of mutton, and even the mutton bones were missing in one bite, fortunately this is a tender lamb, and the mutton bones are not too hard, otherwise his cowhide will be blown out.

His tone changed, and he said seriously: "Master asked me to go down the mountain to practice, cure diseases and do good, subdue demons and eliminate demons, every good deed, every time I catch a ghost, it is considered a achievement, and I have to complete 12,096 achievements to be considered a complete merit, if there is a patient in this store, or I encounter a ghost or something, just come to me." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but be in awe, this Taoist chief came down the mountain to save the suffering, and hurriedly said: "I saw that among the residents yesterday, it seems that someone came to the county town to seek medical treatment, let's go talk about it later." ”

"Hehe, thank you. ”

Zhang Xian smiled, you really have to rely on a mouth to run the rivers and lakes, this casual nonsense, and the business will come.

Of course, his words are also very standard, he doesn't mention a word about money, he only talks about his cultivation performance, and when someone comes to the door, he says that he doesn't owe cause and effect, you can just give a little, but ordinary people encounter such living immortals, who dares to give less, not to mention that there are no poor people who can live in this big inn.

After talking for a while, he had already eaten half of it, and said: "Xiao Er, you wait a while, I'll eat quickly, you are too lazy to clean up the dishes and chopsticks again." ”

After speaking, he devoured and drank, deliberately showing his special ability - being able to eat.

The shopkeeper is really stupid on the side, this long fruit is really a strange person, not only can he eat and drink, he doesn't spit out bones, but his face is not red or panting, and his stomach is not propped up, the shopkeeper can't help but be curious, isn't it a spell?

Zhang Xian smiled secretly in his heart, where could he see what the shopkeeper was thinking, what he wanted was this effect, he didn't say that he knew spells, let others guess by themselves, so that he could have the demeanor of a master.

After a while, Zhang Xian finished eating, and the shopkeeper carefully cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, for fear of disrespecting the young Taoist.

Zhang Xian glanced at the sky, it was still early, and he was not in a hurry to set up a stall, rested for a while to eliminate food, and then practiced internal Tai Chi in the courtyard.

When using the corpse cloth technique, the moment of yin and yang transformation, he understood the true meaning of Lei Fa, and his internal cultivation Tai Chi was originally based on the Nine Reincarnations of Life and Death Transformation Dragon Technique, and now the internal cultivation and comprehension of Lei Fa and Tai Chi are mutually accommodating, extremely quiet and vivid, Wu Ji Shengtai Chi, his internal force explosion to a higher level, the speed is also faster, a moment of strength, as if there is the power of thunder, fast and fierce.

His foundation is still weak, and his internal cultivation should not be too much, otherwise the inner mansion will be fragile, and he will hurt himself, so he will stop after practicing three times, take out the sword of slashing the fan, and practice the Five Elements Xuanjian Technique.

The sword is too heavy, he holds the sword with both hands, and the sword movement is very slow, and it seems that he has also practiced the Five Elements Sword with the feeling of Taijiquan.

I practiced until the three poles of the sun, put away the sword of the sword, the sword is a treasure, and I never left my body, put the rest of the luggage in the courtyard, looked at the line of the sick talisman on my back, and went out of the courtyard with a banner in my hand.

Coming to the street, the weather of the county town is very prosperous, there are bright shops on both sides of the street, people come and go on the street, hawkers shouting and selling, and there are many street performers, beating gongs and drums, the atmosphere is not lively.

He walked in the crowd, hung the bell on the flag, and every step he took, the bell shook "ding ding", and also shouted: "Kunlun Shangxian, secret pill prescription, cure evil diseases, eliminate demons and ghosts." ”

After wandering around two streets, but there was no business, he found a vacant seat on the side of the street and stopped, put down the basket, planted the banner on the quilt upstairs, sat on the ground, and set up a stall here.

He's going to stay here for a while, and there's a fixed place to solicit business.

However, at this time, as soon as he set up his stall, there was a commotion on the street, only to see the pedestrians on the street get out of the way, and a team of Taoist priests came over, there were dozens of people, shaking bells, playing drums, holding Taoist flags, and more than a dozen official escorts.

In front of the team, there were several errand servants and Taoist priests, carrying a public virtue box, looking for shops and vendors on both sides of the street, collecting money one by one, shouting: "Drought demons descend from the sky, gather hundreds of family money, and suppress demons to pray for rain." ”

"Lying ......"

Zhang Xian couldn't help but scold, there is still this kind of operation, could it be that this is the Spirit Rune Dao, collecting money with the yamen, it is like collecting taxes, this is too arrogant.

At this time, the team collected the money and came over, and a leading young Taoist priest saw Zhang Xian, and immediately called the two people around him, stepped forward together, held the seal in his hand, and saluted, and asked: "This Taoist friend, may I ask which faction it is, but there is a Taoist?"
