Chapter 25 Entering the City
Huo Dao lowered his head, his eyes flashing.
Although he had some vague guess, he did not say it.
Seeing that Tianyusi was about to deal with the mess here and was still concerned about cultivation, Cheng Yuan said to Yin Zhenshou: "Shou, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"Wait!" Yin Zhenshoulian said: "Brother Cheng Yuan may not know that if ghosts cause chaos occur within the jurisdiction of Tianyu Department, the warriors who assist in the handling will be rewarded with silver."
"Oh?" Cheng Yuan's eyes lit up.
Yin Zhenshou smiled and said, "This time the ghost is as strong as the lower-class ghost. Moreover, Brother Cheng Yuan, you have made great efforts. According to the convention, there is a reward of 1,000 taels of silver."
Although the divine power generated by the heavenly being killed by a mountain ghost is worth 1,000 taels, it must be done with the true source of the heavenly being.
Even if a mortal warrior kills ghosts, he will basically have no actual gains, even if mortals are extremely dangerous to fight ghosts.
This thousand tael is a huge fortune for ordinary mortal warriors.
Even some martial arts masters became guests in the big family in Youhe County, and one thousand taels would have a salary of two or three months or even longer.
"Okay, then I'm not polite." Cheng Yuan did not refuse.
Even if he is already a celestial being and can kill ghosts to obtain the power of the underworld, the trial of the celestial being is imminent, and his identity is quite special at this time, so it is really difficult to make money for a while.
This thousand taels can just pay off the money Huo Dao gave him the Jingyuan Pill.
Yin Zhenshou asked a soldier from Tianyu Division a few words, and the soldier turned around and left. After a while, he received a stack of silver notes.
The silver note is slightly blue in paper, and it is rumored to be made of a special tree, which is tough and difficult to decay.
A total of ten silver notes, each with a full amount of one hundred taels, and the printed one is finely printed.
Speaking of which, although Cheng Yuan still had a true source stone worth tens of thousands of taels of silver hidden in his arms, it was the first time he had touched so many silver notes.
Just like in the past life on Blue Star, I felt like I was holding a check worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in my hand.
In this world, one tael of silver is probably equivalent to the value of several hundred yuan in the previous life. However, due to different social structures and developments, this purchasing power cannot be simply corresponding.
Just like this thousand taels, buying grain and meat is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of dollars in previous lives, but in the center of Youhe County, it is enough to buy a considerable exquisite courtyard.
"If Brother Cheng Yuan has something to do, I will stay soon." Yin Zhenshou said.
"Thank you, guard, I will say goodbye first." Cheng Yuan replied.
Huo Dao had left at some point. He had a very high status and the people from Tianyusi did not dare to disturb him.
Cheng Yuan returned to the inn, but did not see Huo Dao, so he had to go back to his room and wait with Cheng Yongye and Cheng Yunchuan.
Cheng Yongshi and other tribe members of the Chengjiazhuang hunting team have already returned to the house with the purchased materials and the silver they sell.
Cheng Yuan had been practicing the Huntian True Source Method for more than two hours, and had reached his limit today. He happened to go to the inn lobby with Cheng Yongye for lunch.
He ate an Jingyuan Pill every day. He was originally full of energy, but he still ate something from time to time, otherwise he would always feel uncomfortable.
However, while eating, Cheng Yuan and Cheng Yongye heard almost all the guests around him talking about the ghost in Dali Lane in the morning.
It seems that the cause of the matter has been found out and announced it, probably because it is the intention of appeaseing the town people and is not going to hide anything.
"I heard that the ghost in the Dali Lane in the morning was that stupid boy." Someone was talking seriously on the table next to him.
"Which stupid guy?"
"It's that naive beggar. It is said that the naive beggar yesterday asked for food, but in Xiaoyuwei Lane, he was beaten to death by Sanhu and a few bastards who lost money. Then the yin energy invaded the body and turned into an yin corpse to find the bastards to take revenge."
"What's the result?" asked curiously.
"Two Yin corpses turned into Hanzi were bitten to death, and the first one to be bitten to death was Sanhu."
"Tsk, Sanhu's doing nothing, it's really hard to deal with. Even a beggar's fool still has to fight. It's really worth it."
"Yes, the law of heaven is retribution..." the man sighed.
Suddenly, at a table on the left, a slightly hoarse voice sounded: "What is retribution for heaven?"
Cheng Yuan subconsciously looked over and saw only one guest sitting at the table. He was wearing a black shirt and drinking alone. There were four or five dishes on the table, but there was no movement.
His voice was cold: "Where did the retribution come from? Even if the bastard is killed, will the silly boy survive? Will he be able to eat enough?"
"No matter how many people die, what does it have to do with him? Is this called retribution?"
The guests at the table looked at each other, and saw the young guest with a slight temperament, interrupting with a smile.
Cheng Yuan thought what he said made sense. Suddenly, the young guest turned his head and stared at him, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
Cheng Yuan smiled politely, didn't care, and continued to eat the dishes. He picked up the 14th volume of "The Legend of Killing the Ghosts" I bought yesterday and read it casually.
However, the young guest seemed to have caught a glimpse of the title of the book "The Legend of Demons", and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes when he looked at Cheng Yuan.
Suddenly, Huo Dao strode in from the door and looked at Cheng Yuan and Cheng Yongye: "What about one more?"
Cheng Yuan knew that he was talking about Cheng Yunchuan and replied, "Stay in the room."
"You guys clean up and set off later. Today we will go to Youhe County." Huo Dao sat down casually, picked up a pair of chopsticks and started to stutter.
After taking a few bites, he felt someone was looking at him, but looked up and found that it was a young guest, and smiled at him.
Huo Dao was puzzled and ignored it.
After a while, Cheng Yuan, Cheng Yongye and Cheng Yunchuan packed up, and Huo Dao took them out of the inn.
And the young guest was still sitting alone, drinking one cup after another, and seemed unwilling to stop.
"This is quite interesting, it's a long journey." He said to himself, but the guests around him seemed to turn a blind eye to him and turn a blind eye to him.
"A god likes to watch "The Legend of Killing Ghosts"?" He smiled self-deprecatingly, vaguely recalling himself many years ago.
A trace of green flashed inadvertently in his eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Youhe County covers a radius of hundreds of miles.
And Youhe County is naturally the largest and most beautiful city in a radius of hundreds of miles.
Cheng Yuan first saw the city walls of Youhe County when he was sixteen years old.
As a Blue Star Man in his previous life, Cheng Yuan never thought that a world similar to the ancient Chinese background would be so majestic just a county town.
The city wall alone is more than ten feet high, but it was more than thirty meters in the previous life.
And each of the two city gates was extremely thick and it felt unshakable just to look at them.
The one that controls the city gate switch seems to be a set of precise and solid mechanical structures, but Cheng Yuan can only see the thick cables and some mechanisms outside, but the precision in them cannot be seen.
The entrance to the city gate is wide and can accommodate dozens of people walking side by side. The ground is solid bluestone slabs, almost tight and without gaps, and is cleaned like a mirror.
There was also a row of foreign servants from Tianyusi, who were recruited from ordinary civilians at the gate of the city.
Like the soldiers of Tianyusi, each recruited a standard of at least 800 kilograms of physical strength, nearly half of them were internal martial artists, and those were considered elites, so it was naturally impossible for a large number of people to guard the city gates.
However, there is still a small team of Tianyu soldiers stationed at the city gate, which is considered to be a supervision of foreign soldiers and also fills the storefront of Youhe County.
There are endless people entering and leaving the city gate. If they meet pedestrians carrying a large amount of goods or abnormal behavior, foreign servants will still interrogate in detail.
When Huo Dao, Cheng Yuan and others entered the city, two foreign soldiers also came forward: "Wait, where are you from? What's the matter when you enter the city?"
Cheng Yuan, Cheng Yongye, Cheng Yunchuan and other three were all internal martial artists filled with qi and blood. The momentum alone was very comparable. The Huo Dao in front of them had a faint awesome aura.
According to convention, foreign soldiers still need to ask about such strange warriors.
"I guess it's also an internal martial artist who came to participate in the trial of the gods?" One of the foreign soldiers muttered to himself.
"Come three at a time? Could it be which martial arts halls or big clans in the towns?"
He looked at Cheng Yuan and others with a little envious and awe.
Each of the warriors who can participate in the trial of heaven and man has reached its peak in their qi, blood and spirit, representing a period of peak strength.
