Chapter 6 Fuxian Town, the real villain
At dawn the next day, Aunt Mei's family of three all got up early, and the same was true of many men in the same village, and it seemed that no one in this mountain village could sleep lazy. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Pillar, going to town today?"
"Well, although that mountain boar is a demon beast, it is a dead thing after all, and I am afraid that the aura praised by those immortals will be lost, and this treasure will not be sold at a high price," Liu Erzhu said worriedly.
"In that case, let's go quickly, last year's tribute guard was already not very satisfied, don't go wrong this time"
Yang Xuan listened on the sidelines, his brows furrowed slightly, the more he listened to the situation, the more strange he felt, there was always a strange feeling, and he immediately said out, "Aunt Mei, Uncle Liu, I don't know if you can let me accompany you?"
Liu Erzhu hesitated for a moment and nodded, "It's okay, you can go with us when you travel in a while."
Yang Xuan smiled in return and stopped making a sound.
The men of more than a dozen families in the entire village all walked out of the wooden house, tied the first-order demon beast to the wooden pole, and resisted on their shoulders.
"Don't be verbose, you can't lose such a big thing," caused everyone to smile bitterly and shake their heads.
The group is full of Angzang men who have been standing for a long time, and there is only Yang Xuan, a seemingly elegant young man in the team, who is accompanied by him, plus a strange boar the size of two or three grinding discs, how weird it looks like this combination.
"Uncle Liu, tell me about Fuxian Town, I'm curious."
When Liu Erzhu heard Yang Xuan's words, he was slightly stunned, and then chuckled and said, "This Fuxian Town is the only town in the thousands of miles of mountains, with thousands of people, and it is directly governed by the town guards, heh, not to mention how majestic it is."
As soon as he said this, Liu Erzhu's eyes lit up, full of envy, as if the so-called power of the town guard made him yearn for it very much, Yang Xuan smiled and said nothing, but he secretly thought about it in his heart.
"We go into the mountains to hunt on weekdays, and the mother-in-law embroiders and sews at home, makes some handkerchiefs, cloth and something, and goes to Fuxian Town on September 1st every year to change some living objects, as well as grain and oil."
"The day of the annual tribute is also ...... on that day"
"This tribute is said...... For what?" Yang Xuan interrupted him with a puzzled face.
"Oh, you said to pay tribute" Liu Erzhu shrugged his shoulders, looking accustomed to it, "It's not peaceful in this mountain, little brother, you are lucky, you haven't met that group of bastards for a few months, oh, it's the bandits, horse bandits, etc."
"It is said that the town guard of Fuxian Town has some friendship with the immortals in this mountain, and he is also half an immortal, and the good people in the entire mountain are protected by him, of course, the people who paid tribute"
Yang Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this, "Then this tribute is some demon beasts...... and other rarities?"
"It's not all" Liu Erzhu shook his head, "Some medicinal materials that can be dug up in the mountains are also counted, after all, we are poor, and we don't have all kinds of magical spells like immortals, the kind of good jade ornaments that can only be found in the homes of rich people, and we can't get out of rare playthings."
"That's similar to the role of Saxo Hall in the world," Yang Xuan thought.
"The immortal behind the guard...... Has anyone ever seen one?"
Liu Erzhu thought for a moment when he heard this, "I haven't seen my true face, but every year on the first day of September, near the evening, I can see a light entering the mansion of the town guard, I think it should be an immortal."
"Monk of the Hidden Treasures?"
"Let's go this time, first go to Fuxian Town to find an appraiser appointed by the town guard himself, how can we exchange this demon beast for ten stone grain, and then sell the things embroidered by the mother-in-law and the things hunted in the fang market for a good price......"
Liu Erzhu said, unconsciously fell into a longing, the amount of ten stone grain is a lot, and it is estimated that it will take more than a dozen carts to pull by car, which is enough for the whole village to eat for a year and a half, plus the meat hunted on weekdays, three years may not be a long time.
It's no wonder that when this is mentioned, Aunt Mei and they are so excited, this kind of joy, although Yang Xuan can feel it, but he has never been able to understand it, not to mention that his cultivation in the Tibetan realm now has no concept of eating and eating, even if he didn't practice before, no matter how bad he was, he was a prince of the palace, when did he frown and worry about food and clothing?
"It's Fuxian Town ahead......" Liu Erzhu spoke softly, motioning for Yang Xuan to follow the position of his finger.
Sure enough, there was a small town in front of me, although it was not big, but it seemed to be quite lively inside, and you could hear the scene of people inside.
The town seems to be full of low-rise buildings, and the few two-story wooden buildings are more spectacular among them, but this is because Yang Xuan's eyesight is amazing, otherwise not to mention the general appearance of the buildings, whether they can be seen or not depends on two questions.
"Let's go, speed up the pace, let's go over quickly, and strive to return early tomorrow morning," Liu Erzhu said, replacing the person who was carrying the boar, and instructed in a deep voice.
The men didn't speak, but the hope in their eyes betrayed their inner emotions at the moment.
......
When I came to the entrance of the town, there were a few soldiers in iron armor who were on duty in front of the town gate, and judging by their demeanor and movements, they did not look like people from a well-trained army, but seemed to be just some ordinary people who had done this errand in this town.
The management is a lot lax, after all, there are so many people in the mountains of thousands of miles, except for the bandits and horse bandits who are more ferocious, the rest are mortals who do their duty, and it is a little impossible to make trouble, but even if it is a bandit, they will never dare to discount the attention of the immortal town, after all, the immortals are not some reckless men who only know how to kill people and oversell goods, and are greedy for pleasure dare to fight.
"Yo...... Isn't this Liu Erzhu? There is still a period of time before the day of tribute, why did you come so early?" one of them looked puzzled, but it seemed that he was an acquaintance of Uncle Liu.
"Hit the big luck, got a seriously injured and dying demon beast, isn't it afraid that the aura will be lost in a while, so I came in advance"
"Demon beast, let me take a look......" The man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to look at it carefully, "Tut-tut...... It's good luck, it looks like you're going to be the winner of this year's tribute."
Yang Xuan didn't say a word on the side, but he was still a little confused when he heard this, "Why did another winner emerge here?"
"Cough, what winner is not a winner, it is just to complete the task of guarding the town and write more food for the family to survive the winter" Shaking his head with a wry smile, Liu Erzhu spoke again, "I'll go in first, you're busy"
The man waved his hand when he heard this, and the envy in his eyes was even stronger, although in comparison, his errand was good, and he had enough supplies to live every month, but who didn't want this pie in the sky, let alone such a precious pie.
Entering the town, it is indeed a lively scene, the not very wide streets are lined with stalls and hawkers, but most of the things sold are similar, all of them are wild things from the mountains, and there are few other novelties.
"This is Fuxian Town," Yang Xuan sighed faintly, "It's a good place in this big mountain, so in this way, the town guard has some ability."
"Of course, what's the difference between being with the immortals? Let's go, let's go over there" Liu Erzhu pointed to the two-story wooden building not far away, and walked with everyone carrying the boar.
Such a huge beast naturally attracted a lot of attention, and everyone looked at it curiously, and when they saw the red horns on the boar's head, they all showed horror.
"This turned out to be a monster?"
"Looking stocky, I'm afraid I have to weigh a thousand pounds."
"How much grain is this?"
"Look at you, your eyes are lowered, isn't it? This is a demon beast, a demon beast that can only be fought by immortals, can it be measured by mundane things such as food?"
Hearing the gossip of the audience, Liu Erzhu and the other men had a light on their faces, and they smirked, even if it was luck, but luck is also part of the strength, which indirectly illustrates the ability of themselves and others, how can they not be happy?
Before marching to the wooden building, I knew when I got closer, this is the treasure hall of Fuxian Town, and the special person set up by the town guard to help identify the tribute, on the first day of the ninth month in the past, it was naturally overcrowded, and today because of the advance of time, it seems to be a lot more deserted, after all, if no one has a treasure, who will come here to idle around.
The main entrance is closed at the moment, it seems that it will not be opened in time, but at the door, there is a middle-aged man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, who looks like he has to be in his fifties, and his body is very thin, but at a glance at his face, he knows that this person must have a certain amount of caution, not like a good person.
"Master Zhang"
Liu Erzhu is called an adult, which is enough to see this man's transcendent status in Fuxian Town.
Hearing this, the man surnamed Zhang raised his head slightly, looked at the people in front of him, and then his eyes were immediately attracted by the huge mountain boar, and after a while, he settled down, "Liu Erzhu, this time I came here to ......"
"If you go back to Lord Zhang, it is to pay tribute, do you think the red horn of this level of demon beast Chijiao Mountain Boar can meet this qualification?"
"Oh, Shanggong, I'll take a look and talk about ......it," the man surnamed Zhang got up, took a figure-eight step, circled around the mountain boar a few times, nodded from time to time, and sat back on the chair after a long time.
"If you pay tribute, this red horn is enough to qualify......"
Liu Erzhu and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and they couldn't help but be happy in their hearts, as long as they were qualified, then it would be fine, otherwise the safety of their own village next year would not be guaranteed, "Then I don't know how much food the town guard will take away from the rest of the body?"
"You're going to sell this monster?"
"But it's like this, this kind of immortal thing, how can we mortals have this blessing, it's better to exchange it for some food, and it can be regarded as a thank you for the protection of the people in the village."
After hearing this, Master Zhang nodded slowly, wiped his mustache lightly, rolled his eyes, and his gaze fell on the huge boar corpse again, and he groaned slightly.
"Hmm...... Five Stone Grain"
"What?"
