Dragon Cub's Bizarre Adventure

As for wheat rice, ordinary people don’t eat that thing, and rice is grown in the south, and northerners seldom have the habit of eating it. The stuff that rich and powerful families eat.

[Refined millet without chaff was very expensive in ancient times, about one catty can be worth about 5 to 8 catties normally]

"Human food is really delicious!" "It feels a little bit worse than the food on the mountain, but it's not bad. By the way, the head teacher asked me to find some cooks on the way back. I don't know if I can find them." .”

When Li Zao found out that he had come out, he was still under a lot of pressure. He thought it was just a matter of looking for a few people, buying some things, walking faster, and with the help of a magic weapon. That's not the case, there are people everywhere, and the bustling people don't know where to go or who to look for.

It would be much easier if two of the four juniors were called out together. They should know life in the city very well, right?In fact, it was even more difficult to find those few. They all went out in bullock carts, surrounded by dozens of maids and servants, and there was no need to go shopping or find people by themselves.

"It seems that I can only ask human officials for help, and I don't know if the little junior sister gave me something, whether she will recognize it or not, is she bragging?"

"Ah, I'm full, I'm full." Liu Niang, with a bulging belly, lay on the bed to digest. She thought that a plucked roast chicken sprinkled with coarse salt would be a delicacy in the world, and a fat mouse is even rarer. A few times, I didn't expect that there are so many delicacies on the human side.

In addition to food, beverages are also very interesting. One is goat milk, which costs about 5 yuan per liter, which is unaffordable for tenant farmers. If you eat it in one bite, the annual output of one mu of land will not include the imperial grain. The rest of the national tax is gone.

One is a milky white drink made from fermented corn. It tastes like sweet rice wine and is slightly sour. It can be used to clear away heat and relieve heat in summer. Although it is cheap, it is also drunk by dignitaries, especially female relatives who are not good at drinking.

In the eyes of the real powerful family, these foods are purely simple food on the journey. For the two foxes who have never eaten any good things, it is an unimaginable feast. The value of money has been profound

Understanding.

Chapter one hundred and eighty

Chapter One Hundred and Eleven

The East Market mainly trades horses, furs, mountain products, livestock and other goods, while the West Market sells silk, cloth, porcelain, gems and spices imported from the Western Regions, and drinks. Simply put, the West Market mainly focuses on luxury goods and bulk commodities. , Dongshi is dominated by daily necessities and raw materials.

In fact, there are two cities in the north and the south, which are used to sell other things. Among them, the north market mainly sells food and beverages. The famous snack street under the root of the imperial city is a typical example.

The reason why Beishi mainly sells snacks is because the officials of the Shang Dynasty usually wait at the gate of the imperial city at five or six o'clock in the morning. It is too late to cook and eat at home, so a new market was naturally born here. City, mainly snacks.

In this way, they can instruct their servants to buy something to cushion their stomachs during the waiting time before going to court, otherwise they will have to be hungry until one o'clock in the afternoon to have a working meal (corridor food)O

If there is demand, there will naturally be business, so the North City mainly sells food, and the South City mainly sells various dry food, ready-made clothes, shoes, etc., because this is near the main road where large caravans and troops come and go. It is very convenient to replenish the things to eat on the road and change clothes.

——Stepping into the East Market, a stench of cattle and horses comes to the face. The barbarian caravan from the north speaks unfamiliar Chinese and sells their cattle and sheep loudly. The leather goods shop next to it emits the smell of Huarou leather Acrid smell, various leather goods and saddles piled up in front of the counter, giving off a stench of new leather goods.

A little further away is a stall selling wild game. Hunters from outside the city tie up the rabbits and pheasants they have caught with a string of hemp ropes and hang them on their chests, waiting for buyers to ask for prices.

Most of the people do not pass the two pendants of the first road? But the golden drops of the first road in Zhongwen go along

For people to walk, it is a place for nobles' carriages and horses to pass. Although it is not like the avenue on the central axis, it is easy for ordinary people to walk up, but no one walks around at will.

After all, it wouldn't be worthwhile to be run over to death by those rich men. However, Li Zao didn't know this, and she wondered why these people didn't go in the middle.

"Little Twelve, this place is so scary!" The fox's keen sense of smell could smell the bloody smell of slaughter, as well as the stench of the high-quality fox fur and mink fur from Liaodong.

Liu Niang squatted on Li Zao's shoulders, her little paws were firmly grasping her clothes, if she didn't move her head from time to time, she would have thought it was a red fox shawl.

Li Zao looked left and right, and walked into a shop selling leather goods. The signboard at the door read the words “purchase furs”. When the clerk saw Li Zao’s appearance and the fox on his shoulder, his eyes lit up, “Guest officer, come to see the leather goods.” Yes, we have everything here, what would you like to order?"

"I, let me ask, do you accept live foxes here? Or fox fur 9"

■

"Hey, you've come to the right place. I'll call the shopkeeper right away." Most of the rich families these days pawn their heavy leather goods in summer and then redeem them in winter, which reduces the trouble and trouble of maintenance. Maintain a decent cost. [Jia Baoyu's family is so rich, that's what they do]

Soon the shopkeeper came out, and when she saw Liu Niang, she immediately showed a clear expression, "Guest officer, are you here to ask about the purchase of fur and living things?"

"Um"

"Then you fox, how do you plan to sell it?" Since you brought a live fox to the door to ask if the fox fur is accepted, you must be here to sell the fox. Let's see which noble lady in this dress is short of money. , If you are going to sell your pet fox, you will naturally ask the other party to bid.

I wanted to say that I didn’t come to sell foxes, but I don’t know why, maybe I wanted to ask how much public funds would be embezzled if the eldest sister and second sister were sold, or where I would get the money. He replied, "What is the general price?"

"This fox is not for sale!" Liu Niang uttered a sharp voice in her ear, "Little Twelve, you actually want to sell your sister!?"

"Um, I want to ask, has the shopkeeper received similar fox fur recently, or has a Taoist priest brought a live fox to sell or something."

"Guest officer, this is oooooo"

"There are two missing foxes in my family. It is said that they were caught by a Taoist priest."

"So that's how it is." The shopkeeper nodded. It seems that the pets raised by the noble family ran out and were caught. He was afraid that they would be skinned and sold. What I want to say, a few days ago, the Taoist priest of Shangqing Temple on Beimang Mountain came to ask about the price of processing, and our master was also invited. However, the Taoist priest of Shangqing Temple should not do this kind of theft. behavior?"

There are 99 Taoist temples in the name of Shangqing, but not all of them belong to the Shangqing sect. It can only be said that they are more or less related to the Shangqing sect, and many of them are so-called descendants temples, that is, father and son. The inherited kind.

The Shangqing Temple in Beiman Mountain is one of the direct lineages of the Shangqing School. It was originally established to suppress the lonely ghosts here. After a long time, it has become one of the more famous Taoist temples in the world.

"Understood." Li Zao nodded, and the next step is to go directly to the door to ask for it.

Leaving Luoyang and going up to Beimang, you can see desolate weeds and old tombs along the way. Although this is not the time when everything is withered and chilled, the mountains are lush with lush vegetation and birds and insects are constantly singing, but it still gives a strange and gloomy feeling.

— until near the resting pavilion for climbers not far from Shangqing Temple, this kind of

Feeling is the elimination part, as soon as she enters the door, a Taoist knower greets her, after all, Liu Niang's evil spirit is hard to stop.

"This fellow daoist invites you, this sect is the orthodox sect of Taoism, this fox..."

"This fox is not for sale!"

"Eh...Poverty Dao doesn't mean that. If fellow Daoists are interested in visiting Daoism, please keep the monsters away so as not to cause misunderstandings."

"I'm not here to visit, I'm here to ask, did you catch two such foxes a few days ago, they belong to my family, maybe return them to me?"

"This..." Zhike Daoist looked Li Zao up and down, he was not a disciple of the famous sect he knew, "Poverty Taoist went in and asked."

Catching other people's domesticated monsters is not something to put on the table. Naturally, you have to go in and ask the teacher if there is such a thing. If there is, then this matter is a bit tricky.

This kind of monster who stole other people's family and was found by someone, if it is confirmed, that senior brother must be punished with a torture rod.

As a decent man, there are many rules that cannot be violated casually. This kind of monster that steals other people’s family is one of them, because you don’t know what they are raising for it. For decades, if you go to someone to steal it, if you don’t give an explanation, then you have to do it.

Even if they were raised to harm others, since they dared to call at the door, they must have two brushes in their hands, so they had to go in and inform the teacher to prepare, right?

"Foxes?" The master of the temple looked confused, and then looked down, "Junior brother, what did you do?" These days, when the junior brother went out to perform deeds and came back, he brought back two foxes, saying that he wanted to pull them out. Made a robe from skin O

"Those two monsters? They were placed near Li's Village. I don't know what kind of bad idea I thought about!" How could anyone raise monsters near a human village? It's a decent thing to do, and being caught just destroys the right

Fang conspiracy.

"Forget it, since someone has come to your door, I have to go and see him." Regardless of whether the other party is righteous or evil, they can't just hang there like this. I don't know if they thought they were afraid of each other.If the other party is a real cultivator of the evil sect, he must have a strict understanding of justice, and then do it. If it is a decent cultivator, then if there is any misunderstanding, it can be dealt with in time.

"Twelve, will they really hand it over?"

"I don't know. If it doesn't work, I can only write down this Liangzi." After all, Li Zao is also a monster, and when he said this, his eyes showed a bit of fierceness, and the cause and effect of killing relatives and skinning her relatives, she will come to the door with success in learning arts in the future Revenge, no one can say one or two.

It’s enough face to come to the door today to ask for soft words. If you can’t reach an agreement, these stinky Taoist priests will ask for it in the future if you come to the door with a knife. What’s more, the family members of the disciples under the door were killed and skinned for no reason. In the beginning.

Soon, the temple master showed up at the door with a group of disciples. Out of basic caution, Li Zao didn't enter the temple. God knows what formation mechanism there are in these human sects. It's better to stand outside the door.

"It's him!" As soon as he came out, Liu Niang recognized the Taoist priest.

"Fellow Daoist passed through Lijia Village a few days ago and caught a nest of foxes, can you come back?

JJ

"" Those two monsters stole the villagers' livestock. The poor are just doing harm to the people, but what is the reason for your Excellency to indulge the monsters to wreak havoc in the village, and come here today to ask for an explanation?Pindao would like to ask what your Excellency said? "

"The crime of theft, according to the law, is nothing more than paying for the crime, and they didn't hurt anyone, so the crime is not worthy of death." Li Zao shook his head and said.

"It's just two little demons, and it's worthy of talking about the law? Monsters should live in seclusion in the mountains and dare to go out to do evil. Why not kill demons and eliminate demons?"

Younger brother?" Although this statement is reasonable, but it is a bit nonsense to put it here, "Be careful. "

"So, are you planning to come back?" Li Zao reconfirmed that she would definitely not be able to defeat these Taoist priests, but it didn't matter, as long as the other party recognized Liang Zi.

"Smelly Taoist priest, wait!" Liu Niang screamed, grinning her teeth, "If you dare to arrest our eldest sister and second sister, this matter will never end!"

"Hmph, it's another monster. Seeing that you are with this kind of monster all day, you must not be a good person. Now that you're here, don't leave."

"Junior brother, wait..." The thin-faced Taoist priest raised his hand and released a smear of earthy yellow light directly on Li Zao and Liu Niang, "Dang!" Like the sound of a golden bell, the cyan streamer surrounded Li Zao's head like a snake, and a stone The card fell to the ground, and there was a deep crack on it. It looked like it was broken even if it wasn't scrapped.

Most of the magic weapons are best not to collide with the Sword Immortal's sword, otherwise the consequences will generally be the same. Most of the fairy swords lack the ability to change magical powers, but they are first-class in terms of destructive power and strength.

"How dare you destroy my magic weapon, keep it!"

"Junior Brother! That's..." The temple master hurriedly grabbed the skinny Taoist priest backwards, and a strange force lifted the Taoist priest back into the mountain gate. The cyan streamer swirled and went straight to the Taoist priest's door. There is a taste of not giving up without beheading.

"Bang!" An earthen wall rose up, blocking the approach of the sword light. However, the wood is the most restrained and the earth is the best. The Qingli sword cast by the essence of Yimu is the best at wearing down this kind of solid defense. The earth wall whirled, only cutting off a little each time, but it was an inward breakthrough visible to the naked eye.

However, this kind of usage is a big burden on Li Zao's already superficial Taoism, and soon the Qingli Sword seems to have insufficient strength to return to Li Zao, and the latter also uses the flying sword to quickly turn his clutter into a spiritual light. The essence really shines.

"Thank you for your help, brother." Seeing that the earthen wall was almost pierced, the Taoist knew that if the brother hadn't grabbed him, he would have been killed by the flying sword in about a second if he hadn't grabbed him. A flying sword of the lowest grade, but unexpectedly turned out to be a disguise.

"Junior brother, this is not going to end well." At first sight, the Feijian thought it was a low-level item, but when the second sword was released, the temple master felt that something was wrong, even if it was the pure Yang sword energy of the Huashan School. It didn't give him such a great sense of threat, so it must be nothing.

It's okay for Feijian to say that the girl doesn't have enough mana to display any power at all. If she meets him in his hands, she will lose her head with his own junior's ability.

If it’s a long-established monk or an evil villain who came to the door, it’s okay to say, at worst, it’s a big deal, and there’s no way to add another treasure to the door. Psychology is even more bottomless.

This level of chopping firewood and burning fire in Guanyin is at best, and it is possible to have such treasures, either because of their own status and talent, or because of the master behind them, no matter which one it is, they must be handled with caution.

"Junior brother, you need to change your temper!" A person with a high EQ is jealous, and a person with a low EQ is a pure reckless man.

"Brother Xiuqian is just a flying sword..."

"Yeah, Ant Mosquito is just a flying sword. You know that someone with such a low level of knowledge can have such a flying sword. If the master behind him comes to you, are you going to use the life of Quan Guan's disciple to make your name?"

This matter can be said to be big or big, if you condone the monsters to run rampant in the village, as an orthodox monk, you will fight to the end; if you say it is small, it’s just that the monsters under the door are not strictly controlled and stole the chickens of the villagers. That's it.

Just like what this woman said, according to the law, it's nothing more than that, it's just human cultivation.

Scholars seldom talk about the law with monsters. They usually kill them once they catch them committing crimes.

If it was like this from the beginning, it would be easy to say, just treat it as a misunderstanding, hand over the two foxes, and then ask the other party to go back and strictly control them, and if they are caught doing evil again, they will be killed without mercy-everyone has this matter One step down and it's over.

But now, after fighting for a while before handing it over, it would give people a sense of superiority, but it is a bit tricky when it comes to the face of the sect after being hit by someone like this and honestly handing over the monster that was caught.

"That's all, that's all, please go back, Your Excellency, Shangqing Temple is not something that anyone can come to whenever they want, if you really want to do it, the poor will naturally accompany you."

"Smelly Taoist priest, didn't we want to leave, did you sneak attack? You are shameless!" Liu Niang, who was surrounded by flying swords and protected, was much more courageous.

"This..." Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is the case. He is about to leave, and his junior brother is going to take action to keep him behind.

"Ahem, is this the fault of Junior Brother Pindao? I still look at Haihan. This bottle of medicine is supposed to be an apology." The temple master threw a porcelain bottle into Li Zao's hand, "However, the matter of asking for monsters is still left to you." The elders of your family come to talk about it." It can be regarded as paving a new level for both parties.

It's impossible to tell the fox, but you must also give an account of the sneak attack. After all, you have to maintain the rules and appearance of the righteous way.

"Okay, I hope that when my family's head teacher Zun comes to the door, the Guanzhu junior can understand the rules, hum!"

"Headmaster... this is troublesome." The head of the temple started to hurt. Headmaster and headmaster are two different concepts. To be called headmaster means that the other party either comes from a certain sect or is the other party's master It is possible to establish a sect, create a law and spread it on your own,

Cheng Yijiao exists, not those sect masters who have separated.

Moreover, the head master explained that the other party was the head teacher himself. Simply put, if it was to explain the teaching, he would be at the level of the Twelve Golden Immortals. Even if it was Jiang Shang, he could call for a group of Jinxian brothers to beat people.

Even though the gate of heaven has been closed now, those ancient Qi practitioners have long since disappeared, but the headmaster who can establish a sect must at least be an earth immortal, golden elixir, Daoguo—don't think that I am only one step away from that realm now , but this step is the difference between heaven and earth.
