Immortality is above

Chapter 133 Chapter 132: Entering the city

The waves were like hemp, entangled the ferry, making it impossible to move forward. There seemed to be some mysterious and strange power in the water, full of unknowns.

This turn of events made Team Leader Tan and others look at each other with ugly expressions.

Before the caravan boarded the boat, they were obviously very polite, but they didn't expect that the river god of the Takata River would fall out with him at any time.

But there was no way. Since the other party was dissatisfied, the caravan had no choice but to offer new sacrifices.

Chen Liubai looked very interested in this. He came to the deck and leaned close to the side of the ship to look down.

Seeing this, Team Leader Tan quickly stepped forward and shouted urgently: "Brother Chen, come back quickly."

He stretched out his hand to grab it, but found nothing.

Chen Liubai avoided it calmly and asked, "What's the matter?"

"What's wrong? You don't want your life!"

Chen Liubai asked: "Aren't ghosts and gods regulated by the Taoist court?"

Team leader Tan replied: "That's not true. If it happens often, wouldn't it be a mess? But in recent years, it's really a bit weird..."

Chen Liubai was unmoved and wanted to take a closer look, but the other party sank into the water and disappeared as if he was frightened.

Team Leader Tan didn't want to say any more: "Brother Chen, you'd better return to the cabin quickly and rest for a while. You'll be able to dock soon."

Team leader Tan shook his head: "That's not okay. If it does, it will destroy the business's sign and spread the word, and customers will not dare to come."

"it is good."

In fact, just now, he glanced into the river and saw a green eye hidden in the waves.

Team leader Tan looked anxious: "The appearance of the river god is indescribable. If you look at it rashly, you may be deceived by accident, and then you may lose your footing and fall into the water, and you will die in vain."

"Oh, you are a foreigner and don't understand the power of it. In this Gaohua City, there are many taboos on various doorways. What I told you before is only part of it. In short, see less, touch less, and have less contact. Otherwise, you will not be able to do anything in a row. I don’t know how he died.”

"Thank you, Brother Tan, for your guidance."

At this point, I realized I had said too much and stopped quickly.

Chen Liubai responded and walked away.

Chen Liubai raised his eyebrows: "Is it so scary?"

Chen Liubai asked again: "Does this kind of price increase happen often?"

Team leader Tan sighed: "After receiving your money, we will escort you into the city safely. If there is an accident on the road, we can't explain it."

However, Chen Liubai gave him a good impression. Although he looked young, he was calm and the most important thing was that he could listen to advice with an open mind.

"I heard that there are new edicts coming to take office, but in my opinion, we can't have too high expectations. If the soup is changed without changing the medicine, it will be the same no matter who comes."

He is a fastidious person.

"That's not necessarily the case."

After watching Chen Liubai return to the cabin, Team Leader Tan breathed a sigh of relief. He has rich experience in leading teams, and he is most worried about bringing a young man who is new to the world. He thinks he has some skills, but he doesn't know how high the world is. He is strong-willed and motivated, and is the most likely to cause trouble.

Chen Liubai smiled: "I'm alone. If something happens, it's bad luck. You don't need to explain to anyone."

Just as he was about to make arrangements for the tribute, there was a "buzz" sound and the ferry actually moved and continued moving forward.

Leader Tan was startled and quickly went to ask his subordinates.

But his men didn't know what was going on. They only saw that the waves surrounding the ship's hull had all dissipated and were no longer an obstacle.

"Is it possible that the River God appeared not to ask for new tributes, but just to tease me on a whim?"

Leader Tan thought.

No matter what, not having to pay tribute is a good thing for the caravan, which saves a lot of money.

The rest of the voyage went smoothly, and we arrived at the other side smoothly. Everyone got off the boat in an orderly manner.

Chen Liubai turned over and rode on the rouge horse, and said to Team Leader Tan: "I can go into the city myself on the way back."

"Well, then be careful yourself."

"it is good."

If you get it, you don't need to raise your whip, the rouge horse has spread its hooves and galloped away. "What a weirdo..."

Leader Tan muttered something.

……

Chen Liubai rode on horseback and came to the foot of Gaohua City. He looked up and saw that this city could not be called "majestic" and looked older than Nanling City.

And on the city walls and gates, you can feel the breath of the formation.

In the Daqian Immortal Dynasty, various formation restrictions were widely used, defensive, offensive, or auxiliary, with various forms and different functions.

As a result, formation masters have become quite popular.

Formation, making weapons, drawing talismans, refining alchemy...

With the rise of the new trend, the road to immortality has begun to "refined division of labor."

I don’t know if it’s due to the development of the Immortal Way, or it’s forced by the general environment.

If there is a formation in the city, it will suppress the monks' Yin Shen magic to a certain extent, and they cannot do whatever they want.

Of course, based on a detailed analysis of the specific situation, it is debatable how effective an ordinary small formation or one that has been in disrepair would be.

For example, in the Gaohua City defense formation in front of him, Chen Liubai keenly noticed at least three flaws after feeling it, and it was not working so smoothly.

It can be seen from this that the Immortal Dynasty and the Taoist Court did not pay much attention to these border towns.

When entering the city, Chen Liubai got off his horse and entered on foot holding Rouge.

In the Xian Dynasty, foreigners entering the city also need to submit road documents.

Mo Xuanyi had already arranged these things for Chen Liubai, and there was no need to show his identity seal.

After entering the city, Chen Liubai did not rush to the yamen, but wandered on the streets first.

It's not a "private visit", it's just to see the local customs and get a general impression of Gaohua City.

First impression is that this place is very mountainous.

Those mountains are not tall, but they are layered on top of each other. From a distance, they look like sweeping waves.

The second impression is that the local dialect is quite obscure and the accent is weird.

Since returning to the Immortal Dynasty, Chen Liubai has been learning Mandarin, as well as various different things, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

This was not a difficult task for him and he learned it quickly.

Another point to add is that the currency issued and circulated in the Xian Dynasty is different from that in the Zhao Kingdom, but among the people, gold and silver are still hard currencies.

As for the interior of the Taoist court, a special currency called "incense and fire spirit money" is used.

The money has uniform specifications and contains a certain amount of incense power and pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The owner can directly absorb it and use it as a cultivation resource, which is very convenient.

Because of this, this incense and fire money is very popular.

In Chen Liubai's Hutian bag, there were a hundred neatly stacked, all of which were gifts from the seventh senior brother.

Mo Xuanyi said that to work as an evangelist in Gaohua City, in addition to skills and means, money is also indispensable. There are many places where money is needed.

If you don't have money, do you have to rely on fighting for everything?

How can you fight this?

Besides, in a place with thin spiritual energy, if you want to improve your efficiency in daily practice, you cannot do without the assistance of spiritual money.

Chen Liubai came here to teach, which was equivalent to a job. Of course, he would be paid a salary, but he had just arrived and had just taken office, so he could not receive any money yet.

He accepted the gift from his senior brother, but so far, he has not actually used it.

It was getting late, so Chen Liubai came back and came to the Daoting Yamen in the city.

Because of the institutional situation of the Xian Dynasty, there were two sets of yamen teams, which were not established together, but separated.

In fact, it is not called "Yamen", but "Jiaoyu Department".

After taking a look at the inconspicuous door, Chen Liubai stepped forward and patted the door.
