About me traveling to the world of immortality but finding ways to surf the Internet

So a group of nine people on the bright side left the general's mansion in a mighty manner. They even used two carriages. You Shuangjiang was extremely surprised that the noble women of Xia Kingdom could go out whenever they wanted. She knew that Tao Yulian and Yang Yu Wei is a monk, but she still can't help but ask if the same can happen to mortal women.

"If you are an unmarried girl, you need to explain to your parents where you are going and when you will be back. You can only go out after your parents agree. People like Li Yangguo should be rare." Tao Yulian answered You Shuangjiang's question With this question in mind, several of the women sat in a carriage and had a very pleasant chat.

In comparison, Yang Yuyao's carriage was relatively quiet. Yang Yuyao didn't speak, and the other three men didn't speak. After briefly getting to know each other, the carriage fell into silence.

"It's done." Yang Yuyao sent Tao Zhengxi via Xunlian the major events related to ghosts and demons that had happened in the world of immortality this year that he had compiled. Then he turned off the Xunlian light screen. Only then did he notice that He Qianqing and Li Fengzhi were looking at him silently. As for Teng Yu, as a servant, he naturally did not dare to look directly at Yang Yuyao. But his master was so good-looking that he couldn't help but raise his eyes and take a sneak peek from time to time.

This atmosphere made Yang Yuyao want to hide behind the curtain, but he was the master here and naturally couldn't hide. So he had no choice but to ask Teng Yu some questions that interested him in order to relieve the embarrassment. Therefore, he asked how the Xia court dealt with the problems of breaking the law and sitting together among these monk families.

"Whether you are a monk or not will only affect whether you will be punished. Whether the offender is a monk or a mortal, he will definitely be punished. In fact, in Xia Country, compared to other countries, it is not so easy to be punished... "Teng Yu sighed halfway through his answer. He didn't know whether he was sighing at his own fate or his grandfather's confusion, which ruined a good family into what it is now.

"Why is it so difficult to sit consecutively?" Li Fengzhi couldn't help but ask. He knew what Teng Yu meant, but he didn't know to what extent.

"Young Master Li is from the Kingdom of Wei Wu, right?" Teng Yu glanced at Yang Yuyao and responded with Yang Yuyao's permission, "Things like what my grandfather committed would have been punished under the criminal laws of the Kingdom of Wei Wu. From the nine tribes. In Xia Kingdom, we were just sent as slaves."

"Difference...the difference is that big?!" Li Fengzhi sighed in surprise.

"Well, but Wei Wuguo's criminal law has always been very strict. Don't you feel it, Mr. Li?" Teng Yu asked doubtfully.

"I am not a young master. I am a commoner who once lived in a small town in Wei Wu Kingdom. I was fortunate enough to be rescued and taught by Yu Yao before embarking on the path of spiritual practice." Li Fengzhi admitted sheepishly.

"You are a distinguished monk if you can successfully draw Qi into your body. It is not an exaggeration to call you Young Master, or do you want me to call you Master Li?" Teng Yu said, with some envy in his eyes.

"It's okay... When the official in our town was still there, he didn't take care of things very much. I only vaguely remember that at least Master Yu didn't dare to be so arrogant at that time. Later, the entire Yamen was killed by evil cultivators. I also Just... probably because I had been in Tongling Town before becoming a monk, I didn't feel anything special." Li Fengzhi replied.

"It is indeed not easy for civilians to commit crimes that are punished with heavy penalties, unless they are engaged in special professions." Teng Yu understood as soon as Li Fengzhi explained his previous identity, "I remember that Wei Wuguo had an article about ordinary blacksmiths without permission. If you report someone who makes an iron tool without permission, no matter what kind of thing you make, you will receive twenty canes. If you make a weapon, forty more will be added."

"Hiss!" Li Fengzhi gasped. For ordinary people, a twenty stick can kill a person half of his life. A forty stick is enough to kill a person. Twenty plus forty will be added if the water is not released. , then the proper thing is to beat the person to death! Yang Yuyao looked at Li Fengzhi's reaction and Teng Yu's expression with some confusion. Twenty plus forty equaled sixty. In his impression, those dramas he watched were all about fifty and one hundred. , sixty is not much. So he quietly asked He Qianqing about his doubts.

"Xiao Yao, if it's not that people in that world you mentioned are less energetic, it means that people in that world have stronger bodies and are more resistant to beatings. Generally speaking, mortal bodies can withstand the punishment of sticks and sticks, and the government officials are even Under normal practice, if each stick is applied with full force, thirty sticks can kill a person." He Qianqing responded.

"Thank you, Master, for clarifying my doubts." Yang Yuyao thanked him, and at the same time thought in his mind. He felt that the physiques of ordinary people in the two worlds did not seem to be much different, but he had no way to conduct a comparative experiment. Of course, he thought there was another possibility, that is, the film and television drama exaggerated to a certain extent for the sake of effect and smooth lines.

After all, twenty lashes sounds like a lot. The younger brother who used to live downstairs from Yang Yuyao was whipped more than 20 times by his family with a clothes hanger. Of course, the severity of injuries suffered by being whipped with a clothes hanger cannot be compared with the actual execution of the cane. In their world, for most countries, various tortures are no longer legal and compliant punishments as part of law enforcement because they are inhumane, so people gradually forget the horror of these punishments.

"Having said that, even if we don't mention the Wei Wu Kingdom, even if we are punished according to the criminal laws of the Bianliang Kingdom, based on what my grandfather committed, I still can't escape death. However, if I can introduce Qi into my body before being executed, , they will not be sent as slaves, but will only have their property confiscated." Teng Yu said.

"Teng Yu, do you know a lot about various criminal laws?" Yang Yuyao asked.

"Back to the eldest young master, I wanted to be an envoy in the past. I couldn't talk about research, but I did do some research." Teng Yu replied.

I thought that Teng Yu's ambition was to be in the Ministry of Justice, so Yang Yuyao knew these things so well. After Teng Yu said this, he remembered that envoys also need to understand the laws of various countries.

"Well, monks in the Xia Kingdom will be executed if they commit serious crimes, but if their relatives are monks, they will be exempted from the penalty. In other countries, the penalty for continuous imprisonment is very severe, but the court does not dare to interfere with the monks' affairs, and can only leave it to the sect to handle... ” Li Fengzhi tried to clarify these differences. "But how is the scope of punishment for crimes committed by monks in Xia Kingdom determined? Is it all monks in Xia Kingdom or just monks related to Xia Kingdom's court?"

The question Li Fengzhi asked was also curious to Yang Yuyao. After all, Xia State, as a country, is too special. Yang Yuyao knew that he definitely needed to understand the laws of Xia Kingdom in more detail, but before that, he could listen to Teng Yu's explanation.

"If the punishment can be carried out, it will be within the entire Xia Kingdom." Teng Yu replied, but Li Fengzhi was still confused.

"What does this mean?" Li Fengzhi asked.

"The meaning should be that the court will want to take care of the monks who have committed crimes in Xia Kingdom, but in practice it is extremely difficult. The monks are too mobile and the monks who committed the crime may have fled to other countries before the people are arrested. Yes, and whether you can beat him or not is also a big problem." Yang Yuyao explained according to his own understanding.

"Yes, the young master is right." Teng Yu nodded in agreement. Although the imperial court also had its own methods, for example, when their home was ransacked, his grandfather was directly controlled in Shangzhenyuan, and almost at the same time, all the monks in their family, including the guest ministers, were controlled. The monks were controlled, and they These family members are still mortals, so of course they can only surrender obediently.

But this requires the use of a large number of powerful monks. The Xia Kingdom is so large that it is difficult for even the monks to arrive in time to round up people far away from the Xia capital. No matter how many monks there are in Xia Kingdom, they won't be everywhere, not to mention that most of the monks are basically in the Qi training and foundation building stages. Therefore, the Xia Kingdom also needs to cooperate with the sect for management. But the problems of not being able to catch up and not being able to beat still exist.

"Although the Xia Kingdom controls monks more strictly than other countries, monks are still very noble here. The Xia Kingdom even has a special set of laws for monks, so that the monks in the Xia Kingdom can be no different from those in other countries." Teng Yu said , although he was reduced to slavery due to the laws of the Xia Kingdom, he did not resent this country because of this, because he knew that he might not have a good life in other countries.

Except for the Xia Kingdom, the monks who entered the imperial court from other countries were basically casual cultivators without families or even Taoist companions, so they could do whatever they wanted and leave if they didn't. The vast majority of monk families have very low tolerance for people in their families who cannot practice. People like Teng Yu who cannot draw Qi into their bodies at the age of fifteen or sixteen will 100% be expelled from the family.

If a few of the family members are monks and the majority are mortals, then these monks will not be willing to stay in the family. Although monks who are afraid of being burdened by these mortal relatives may be willing to come back to help when necessary, most of the time they will Just hide as far as you can.

Only in the Xia Kingdom's court, because the salary can include a lot of cultivation resources, these cultivation resources are even more than what most Nascent Soul monks earn every year, and the key payment is stable, so that those who are officials in the court can The monks have less worries and can be more tolerant towards their mortal relatives.

Teng Yu couldn't guess whether his life would have been better or worse if he had been born in another country, but he was sure that at least the first half of his life would not be as good as it was before their family was confiscated. The Teng family prospered because of his grandfather, and Destroyed by his grandfather. Without his grandfather, the Teng family might still be able to make a living on just two acres of land, and might even cease to exist before his generation. In other countries, the Teng family probably would not be able to develop to this extent. Therefore, he does not hate Xia Guo, but he will envy those who can become monks.

But in this world, how many mortals can not envy monks? Even if they find that the monks in the Qi training and foundation building stages may not have a much better life than them, but their longer life span and stronger body are enough to make mortals envious.

"I didn't expect Teng Yu to have this ability. I feel that I can at least develop into a legal consultant. Being a slave is really humiliating. When I can talk to the grandpa Huang and my grandchildren as equals instead of grandparents, please be kind to him. Teng Yu regains his status as a civilian. As for Huang Ya and Shen Ming... let's see." Yang Yuyao thought, leaning towards He Qianqing involuntarily, so He Qianqing stretched out his hand and hugged his waist. Last night, Yang Yuyao followed Tao Yulian's instructions and tried to take the initiative. He was enjoying himself as much as he could. He Qianqing was particularly happy, but for Yang Yuyao, taking the initiative was still too tiring.

When there was a hustle and bustle outside the carriage, Yang Yuyao knew it was time for them to get off. Yang Yuyao used his consciousness to check the car in front of the women and the surrounding environment. Tao Yulian and the others had already gotten out of the carriage one after another, and Yang Yuyao's consciousness told Yang Yuyao that there were many people around. He even noticed that these beautiful women were getting out of the carriage, and some people came closer to watch.

Yang Yuyao took out his half-face mask and was a little hesitant to put it on. The girls were all covering their faces. He always felt a bit hypocritical for a man to cover his face. However, in order not to cause a commotion because of himself, Yang Yuyao gritted his teeth and still I got off the carriage after putting on the mask.

"Brother!" Seeing Yang Yuyao's clothes emerging from the carriage, Yang Yuwei ran over, "Hey, brother, why are you wearing a mask?"

"Because it feels safer this way." Yang Yuyao replied, making way for He Qianqing and Li Fengzhi to get out of the car. Yang Yuwei was a little puzzled. After all, she had never seen her eldest brother being surrounded when he showed his face. She only felt that it was a pity that his face was covered. However, she thought that Tao Yulian told her that her eldest brother did not like to be watched, so She did not continue to ask further.

Yang Yuyao noticed that the location where they were now was similar to a large open-air parking lot, except that carriages and horses were parked here. The stables where the horses are placed are located on both sides of this place. Yang Yuyao even saw a crane being tied to the horse post unjustly, staying with other horses, and he didn't know which monk it was. 's mount.

Those who can ride horses and own private carriages are naturally relatively wealthy people. In this "parking lot", there are many powerful grooms staying with the carriages. Like the two carriages in the General's Mansion, these carriages will not leave after sending them here, but will wait here for the owner to return. If some masters have special requirements, they will also agree in advance to give a signal to the carriage to pick them up at the designated place. Either way, these coachmen will wait here for a while until the master wants to leave.

For this reason, there is also a tea shop here. If a coachman needs it, he only needs to make a gesture and a waiter will come to receive him. The waiter will also deliver the tea and food you want to the carriage. This tea stall also provides temporary escrow service. If the coachman needs to solve an internal emergency, someone will help look after the carriage.

"It happens to be noon now, how about we go to Su Chunlai for dinner? It is a very famous restaurant in Xiadu, and the food is very good." After everyone got out of the car, Tao Yulian suggested. Naturally, this opinion was unanimously approved immediately. After all, Yang Yuyao got up a quarter of a second after midnight. He agreed to ask the master to wander around on the carriage again, and the morning was over.

Especially the young people who were in the Qi training period. They got up early and didn't eat extra food like Yang Yuyao. At this moment, their stomachs were already growling with hunger.

Under the leadership of Tao Yulian, they walked to Su Chunlai Restaurant. This was already an outer city and monks were not restricted from flying. However, the girls unanimously believed that it was more interesting to go shopping on foot. Since they were going shopping, of course they had to do this. Look, let’s take a look. If it’s too purposeful, it’s not called shopping but should be called purchasing.

"Xicheng District is so lively. Is there a big market today?" The parking lot they just left was so lively, and it goes without saying that when they actually walked into the market, Yang Yuyao, who was walking next to Tao Yulian, stepped back unconsciously. He took two steps closer to He Qianqing to seek more security.

"Yes." Tao Yulian replied with a smile.

"Hey, isn't the inn Wan Ke Lai where we are staying in the same area as here?" Li Fengzhi looked around and found that this place was very unfamiliar.

"Wankelai is located in Dongcheng District, which is indeed not the same district as where we are now." Teng Yu replied.

"Is every city in Xia Capital so prosperous?" You Shuangjiang said in great surprise. In her impression, no matter it is Anyuan City or the capital of Liyang Kingdom, only a small area is particularly prosperous. They visited the East District of the Xia Capital the night they arrived. Even at night, everything was already crowded. It was much more lively than the most prosperous area in the capital of Liyang Kingdom, and the Xicheng District where they were at this time was equally prosperous, making her feel like a commoner from a remote village who came to the city, which was an eye-opener.

"That's not true. Dongcheng District and Xicheng District are the two busiest districts in Xia Capital. Nancheng District is relatively less prosperous, and Beicheng District is basically full of big houses of powerful people, so it is not prosperous." Teng Yu continued. said.

"But in addition to Beicheng District, it is very interesting to catch a large gathering in the three districts of East, South and West!" Yang Yuwei interjected, "Dongcheng District is the main residence of envoys from various countries, so there will be many Treasures from all over the world. The west area is the main trading place for the monks, while the south area mainly has all kinds of... well, food, clothing and other things."
