I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 51 What happened in Taicang City

Taicang City, Changwu Street.

For ten miles, there are lanterns like fire.Those in brocade and jade fur coats are constantly buzzing about having fun.

Qingzhou is a land in southern Fujian, connecting Guangdi in the east and Yangzhou in the west.The north and south connect Xu and Wei, with intensive water and land transportation and prosperous commercial exchanges.As Taicang is one of the three major capitals in Qingzhou, its prosperity will naturally continue unabated.Compared with Jingyuan, which is the capital of a state, Taicang is a little more muddy about money.

So here, you can see rows of brothels, famous chambers of commerce, and brightly lit markets.

As long as you have money in your pocket, you can buy what you want in Taicang.

Along the way, Jiang Wen saw many fresh goods.Such as various mountain game, Daqian-style porcelain, and cheap jade and agate that make people jealous.He wanted to buy some and transport them back to sell, but when he looked at his storage bag, he found that he didn't have much money with him.

Asked Li Yunshang, the girl's ponytails jingled and she said she had no gold or silver.She doesn't need these gadgets on weekdays, and she doesn't like mundane things, so naturally she won't prepare gold and silver.

Knowing that Jiang Wen needed money, she even gave him a bag of spiritual stones.Jiang Wen took the spirit stone and didn't know where to spend it. In the end, he had to find a way to go to a pawn shop to get some money.

"Sir, where did you get this thing?!" The pawnshop owner clicked the lighter with a look of surprise in his eyes.Although it is not difficult to make fire, it is more difficult than making fire.This lighter is obviously much more advanced. It can start a fire with just one press, which is not very convenient.

"I got it from somewhere else. Let the shopkeeper see how much it's worth." Jiang Wen pointed at a box of lighters and asked with a smile.

"Yes." Li Yunshang, who was standing next to him, intentionally or unintentionally exposed a bronze medal and stared at the shopkeeper sternly.It seemed to be telling him that if you dare to extort their money, your little shop will be closed.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead, and finally accepted the box of lighters for 50 taels of gold.

Jiang Wen was naturally overjoyed. After all, how much did a box of lighters cost? It was 50 taels of gold.How many lighters can I buy in exchange? Sure enough, the second dealer made a huge profit.

Li Yunshang was relieved when she saw that Jiang Wen didn't look like he was being deceived.When he walked out of the pawn shop, he asked him, "Guanzhu Jiang, have you not been deceived? If he dares to short you money, I will have his shop demolished."

"No, no. The shopkeeper is a real person." Jiang Wen explained quickly, for fear that it would be too late and the girl was demolishing someone else's shop.Even if he earns more, he can still treat others like this.

"That's fine, but what do you want these mundane things for? The Immortal Sect Assembly doesn't accept gold or silver either." Li Yunshang asked with some confusion.

"I bought some things on this street and went back." Jiang Wen did not explain in too much detail. After all, the less people knew about his ability to travel through time, the better. "But what is your bronze medal for?"

"Bronze medal?" Li Yunshang took out a medal from his waist and handed it to Jiang Wen. "This is the Imperial Court's Embroidered Guard Hundred Household Token. It is convenient for the disciples of Taishen Palace to act in the world. You can use this to hide your identity when doing things on weekdays. It would be too ostentatious to reveal that you are a disciple of Taishen Palace."

"No wonder the shopkeeper is so afraid..." Jiang Wen thought to himself as he looked at the bronze medal.

With Li Yunshang's identity as a embroiderer, Jiang Wen raided the shops on Changwu Street at relatively affordable prices.

I bought a lot of amber, jade, delicacies and game, and threw them all into the storage bag.

In the end, I just walked around Shili Changwu Street and spent less than 20 taels of gold.This also made Jiang Wen lament that no matter which world he is in, the value of gold is high.

After the night became calmer, the two of them got up and headed to the Xianmen gathering.Li Yunshang took him to a four-story pavilion on Changwu Street.Looking at the exquisitely carved high pavilion, the sound of silk and bamboo in it is melodious, and there is endless laughter.There were guards guarding the door, watching the people coming and going vigilantly. When they saw the two of them going in, they stopped them.

"Inside Juxian Pavilion, no one can enter." The guard said coldly.

The two men were eight feet tall, with thick hands and broad shoulders.His temples were beating and his eyes were shining.There was a sharp aura in his every move, and he seemed to be no ordinary person.

Jiang Wen saw that they were quite evil and knew that these two people had definitely killed people before.His skills are definitely good, but there is no spiritual energy flowing, and he does not look like a monk.He turned his head and looked at Li Yunshang, wondering how she would deal with it.

But Li Yunshang didn't even look at the two of them, he just took out the bronze medal and flashed it at them.

The expressions of the two guards changed greatly, and they quickly and respectfully moved out of the way.

"It turns out to be Mr. Xiuyiwei. Please, please."

He was arrogant at first and respectful at the end, the change in his demeanor was too huge.Jiang Wen blinked and for the first time felt the benefits of having an identity.

"Let's go." Li Yunshang hummed, leading Jiang Wen into the bustling pavilion.

"The two people at the door are not simple." Jiang Wen thought of the two guards just now and felt that they were comparable to or even stronger than the elite special forces in the real world.

"They are just two people in the acquired realm, not even innate. Why do the masters think so highly of them?" Li Yunshang was surprised by Jiang Wen's words. She didn't quite understand why Jiang Wen felt that these two people were not good enough. Simple.

"Just kidding," Jiang Wen explained quickly.He now naturally knows what the acquired realm refers to. For those who practice martial arts, whether they are practicing Qi or body training, if they fail to develop the innate true Qi, they belong to acquired realm.

For monks, nature and nurture are all the same.It doesn’t even enter the gate of practice, but for ordinary people.Innate is already the pinnacle of mortals. With the innate Qi, one can cross rivers and travel hundreds of miles in a day.No disease or pain, life expectancy is [-] years old.If you join the army, you can become a general, and if you join the world, you can start a sect and become a guest of dignitaries.

According to Li Yunshang, most of the divine generals in charge of the capital are just lamp-lighting monks.There are only a few who can reach the life fire, and they protect important places.Monks rarely engage in worldly activities, and they will not meddle in court affairs at will.Li Yunshang didn't know the specific reasons for restricting them. He just said it was related to destiny and the great sages of Langhuan Academy.

Not talking about these distant past events, when Jiang Wen walked into this pavilion, he felt the sense of luxury coming from him.

Whether it was the decoration in the pavilion or the enjoyment of the guests, it was enough to open the eyes of Jiang Wen, a man who had seen a lot of luxury.It’s true that “the golden furnace adds fragrance to the beast, and the red brocade lichen wrinkles with every step. The beauty dances with her gold hairpin, and when she is drunk, she picks up the stamens and smells them.”

The handsome gentleman hugs him from left to right, and the jade-faced nobleman smiles and eats.The red carpet was seamless from floor to floor, and beauties sang and danced on it with their bare feet.The maids in the building were naked with their waists and legs exposed, and they were walking among the crowd carrying delicacies.

The four-sided incense burner burned incense, and gurgling wine flowed down the mouths of the lion heads on both sides of the pavilion, dripping into the circular pool in the center of the lobby, allowing people to reach out to grab the wine and drink.

"It all smells like wine and meat." Li Yunshang frowned in disgust.
