Chapter 143: Huzhuang Conflict
Taipan was not surprised at all in this regard.
Huzhuang is an existence similar to the national treasury. In the Han Empire, all coins were used by the Huzhuang, and the guards were naturally extremely strict. These two treasure-protecting golden toads contain the divine power of the God of Wealth. Within twenty feet of this Huzhuang, even if it is a half-immortal on earth, it is impossible for them to break through the defense of the two treasure-protecting golden toads.
Inside the village, it seems that it is only about a meter in size, but there is a unique world inside, and countless people come and go without feeling the slightest crowding.
After entering the Huzhuang, Taipan took out a golden and jade leaf from his arms. After checking the identity and palm lines, he successfully took out 30,000 Wuzhu coins and handed them to the Yaman to complete the contract. The Yaman also deposited the 30,000 yuan in the Huzhuang again and left with the deed.
Afterwards, Taipan took Hu Weiyi and walked along the stairs next to Huzhuang to the second floor - this Huzhuang is not only aimed at mortals, but also at practitioners. The second floor of this Huzhuang is specially set up for practitioners.
There are only three counters on the second floor. On each counter, there is a jade board. On the jade board, there are rows of documents. On the first jade board, there are some tasks issued by the imperial court that can only be completed by practitioners, such as hunting some evil cultivators, expelling locust plagues, detecting water eyes, quelling floods or suppressing evil gods. On the second jade board, there are some tasks issued by the righteous gods of the Han Empire, and on the third jade board, there are some tasks issued by other practitioners.
There are two ways to settle these tasks, one is spiritual medicine, magic weapons and other objects, and the second is to settle with Wuzhu coins. Every county and prefecture city in the Han Empire has a household village.
In addition, there are also some spiritual fairy buildings in each city, which serve as a place for practitioners to trade.
Huzhuang and Lingshi can be said to be the foundation for the survival of the scattered immortals in the Han Empire.
Taipan's eyes fell on the first jade board. The first task on the jade board was to protect Chao Cuo's safety.
As long as Chao Cuo lives for every day, the practitioners who take the task will be able to obtain ten five-zhu coins. If someone can defeat the assassin, he can use the assassin's head or the token of certificates on his body, and then obtain the corresponding reward based on the depth of his practice.
But below this task, the second task on the jade board, is completely opposite to the first task - the first task is to protect Chao Cuo, and the second task is to kill Chao Cuo.
Chao Cuo's head is worth 100,000 Wuzhu coins!
The 100,000 Wuzhu coins are a very expensive price. The Wuzhu coins that can be produced in this huge Han Empire each year are only 100,000.
As for the value of these 100,000 Wuzhu coins - in the previous mission, the head of a great cultivator who has achieved success in the divine realm is only worth 5,000 Wuzhu coins.
There are only these two tasks on the first jade board.
As for the third jade board, there are also two opposing tasks - respectively, a reward for the head of the practitioners of the Heavenly Master Dao and the head of the demon spirit.
As for the second jade board, although there was some information, the text on it was unclear and could not be seen in detail.
After taking on the task of protecting Chao Cuo with Hu Weiyi, Taipan took Hu Weiyi downstairs. However, he walked to the stairs and stopped Taipan by a seven or eight-year-old boy surrounded by everyone and his eyes were full of rebelliousness.
"Which sect are you from?"
"Who are your elders?"
"Have he never told you that the spiritual beasts that are tamed and subdued must be brought to the beast control circle?" Although the young man's voice was tender, it was gloomy and arrogant.
Listening to the boy's words, Taipan's eyes flashed with anger, but when Taipan looked at the boy's eyes, the anger in Taipan's eyes quickly hid again.
——The boy's eyes did not fall on Tai Pan at all, but stared at Hu Weiyi without moving. Obviously, he had already noticed the aura on Hu Weiyi.
"Could he never noticed my identity?" Looking at the place where the boy's eyes fell, Tai Pan was stunned at first, and then such an idea emerged in his mind.
"Why, don't you agree?" After a few breaths, the boy's eyes fell on Tai Pan again.
"Beasts are beasts!"
"The demon is a demon, loyalty, and it is meaningless to the demon."
"Don't you know how many people have trusted their spirit beasts like you now, but most of these people died at the hands of the spirit beasts he trusted." The young man looked at Tai Pan, his eyes full of unhappiness.
"Why do you need to say too much about my affairs?" Taipan also lowered his face, tentatively replied coldly.
Behind Tai Pan, Hu Weiyi also opened his mouth and roared at the young man in a low voice. Tai Pan also waved his hand on purpose, indicating that Hu Weiyi would restrain himself.
"Looking at your first appearance, may you not have a beast-controlling circle?"
"Well, I will give you a beast control circle today." The corner of the boy's mouth suddenly turned into a joke again. After a circle around Taipan, a bright silver circle flew towards Taipan's face.
At this time, the other practitioners in the Huzhuang also turned their gaze here.
Seeing the bright beast control circle flying towards his face, Taipan's heart sank, and the energy of heaven and earth flowed hard among the meridians around him.
"Can he noticed my identity?"
The shaky beast control circle turned over Taipan's head, and the strange power instantly swept Taipan's body through. After that, the beast control circle hovered in front of Taipan's eyes.
"I said, this is my business and it has nothing to do with you!" There was already obvious anger on Taipan's face. Then, Taipan stretched out his hand and took off the beast-controlling circle in front of him, threw it away, then squeezed away the boy and left the village. Hu Weiyi followed Taipan's back. When he was facing the boy, Hu Weiyi lowered his head again, grinning with his sharp teeth.
"Senior Brother Xiang, this person is really ungrateful. Should he teach him a lesson?" After the village quieted down again, someone lowered his head and said behind the boy.
"It's a little interesting!"
"Go and check where he comes from and where he lives." Until he couldn't see Tai Pan's back, the boy's eyes fell back to the beast-controlling circle on the ground. Then, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the beast-controlling circle fell back to the boy's sleeves.
