Taoist Master wants to live forever

Chapter 101 The sense of separation

Seeing that he could not walk normally at the city gate, he climbed the city wall that night and ran in secretly.

With his current skills, this matter is easy. As long as he seizes the opportunity, these soldiers on duty on the city wall will not notice it at all.

Although agility is not the mainstream for him, with 25 points of constitution here, he can't slow down even if he wants to.

But after coming in, Wen Lianggong was in a bit of a dilemma. It was really difficult for a heroic man to make a penny. He originally thought that he could purchase some copper coins from reality, or use industrial silver ingots to make some silver to make a living.

It's a pity that when he took it out, none of them could see what he had brought in from reality. When he took it out, he was almost called a scoundrel because he was eating the King's meal.

Then how did he start the fire when he burned Evergreen Temple? !

Wen Lianggong cursed in his heart. What embarrassed him the most was that he had climbed into the city before. When he came out of the alley at dawn, everyone stopped and looked at him, making him think that he was exposed. .

Or maybe this Beiye City is a ghost town like the Jingang Temple.

The last thing I didn't expect was that after seeing him, these people couldn't see the clothes in the real world, thinking that he had no clothes on and walked out naked.

Some shy little girls on the street screamed in fright, young women covered their faces in shock, and peeked at his lower body through the cracks with their fingers. All the men also exclaimed, obviously thinking that Wen Lianggong's swing was strong.

This scene really made him unable to hold his nerve. He even walked for a while on the street. It has been three days. I heard that the government was still looking for people who insulted gentlemen. If he hadn't specially adjusted his facial muscles A different look.

He decided to leave Beiye City and explore a new map again.

Carrying the long-handled Mo Dao, he walked around seven times and entered an alley. He opened a dilapidated door on the right and entered a small courtyard. This courtyard has three rooms, a main room, a side room, and a kitchen.

Does it smell like urine? !

Wen Lianggong frowned and sniffed, and shouted: "Little Dengzi, did you pee in the yard again? Didn't I tell you to get out and urinate? This place is not far from the river."

Although people in this world have a very high upper limit of power level, they are still in an ancient society with relatively low productivity, and the processing of those pickled things is extremely backward.

Although there are swill trucks at night, most of the time they are for middle-class households and above. People at the bottom like Xiao Dengzi have no money left to pay for the swill trucks.

Most of them were dumped into the river in the city the next day, or buried on the spot.

A rather thin man hurriedly ran out of the side room. He was about 1.6 meters tall, skinny, and his clothes were in tatters. He looked like a monkey. Outsiders indeed called this little Dengzi a monkey.

He's a street kid.

He responded quickly and said with a wry smile: "Master, there is a curfew at night. Every family has to stay indoors. If they go out, they will be hacked to death by patrols. I really can't hold it in. I have no choice but to stay in the yard." solved!"

"Why don't you call me monkey? Only the big shots in the palace are qualified to call me Little Dengzi!"

Little Dengzi didn't dare to smile playfully. The one who smiled playfully before was severely beaten by Wen Lianggong, so he didn't dare to make a mistake and stopped.

Wen Lianggong didn't take it seriously. He originally thought that although his living habits were not sloppy, he was not that clean-minded.

But when he got here, he felt that he was a true mysophobia.

He frowned and said coldly: "Take it away quickly. If I smell these things again when I come back, I will break your legs."

"Yeah!"

Little Dengzi responded with a mournful face. Two days ago, a strong man who didn't know where he came from broke into his house naked. He was so shocked that he thought that his chastity was not guaranteed, and he was afraid that he would be ravaged to death by this pervert. In the end, nothing shocking happened, and the strongman stayed at his house.

Putting the long-handled Mo Dao in the main room, Wen Lianggong went straight out and wandered around. Before leaving, he glanced at a talisman posted in front of the door of the courtyard room.

Every household in Beiye City has stickers hanging in front of their doors. The Taoist palace in Beiye City distributed them and made them mandatory to affix them to prevent evil spirits from sneaking up.

It seems that even this big city is not safe.

Beiye City was an important city on the northern border of the Wei Dynasty. It was also an important pass to resist the Qi Dynasty and bordered the Qi Dynasty.

When the two countries fought against each other, they never broke into Beiye and kept Daqi away from the border.

Seeing that it was impossible to break through this great pass, Da Qi took the initiative to make peace. With the exchange of needs, this great pass gradually turned into a trade channel where commerce gradually prospered.

“It’s still a business these days!”

Wen Lianggong, who was sitting at the edge of the tavern, was listening to the people talking in the tavern. The topic in front of him was obviously caused by a caravan on the street.

"Yes, bandits are rampant outside the city, and evil spirits are everywhere. Those small caravans who are greedy for cheap have not hired good experts, or they have formed large caravan groups. They have basically disappeared without a trace on the road. Such a small caravan has disappeared without a trace. When they enter the city, their ancestors will burn incense."

Wen Lianggong was also looking at the caravan carefully. There were many tall warriors in the caravan, and some of them unintentionally exuded active energy and blood, which made him look sideways.

These people are pretty strong.

During this period of time, Wen Lianggong did nothing. Every time he entered the mythical world, he just wandered through the streets and alleys of Beiye City. In reality, he could often encounter the proud physiques in Beiye City.

Although his strength is not as good as his, he is not weak either.

Wen Lianggong even thought that although the Wei Dynasty was ruled by a feudal dictatorship, its social productivity was still good.

But when I turned around, I saw the dull, slightly numb faces of the people, as well as their stiff postures like walking zombies. They were full of pessimism about life, completely separated from the talkative libertines in the tavern behind them.

The gap between the rich and the poor here should be very large, and he has also inquired about it. Beiye City is located in the northern border of the Wei Dynasty. Although the climate is not as good as the land of plenty in the Central Plains, the black soil is fertile. As long as it is cultivated, it will not be unable to support people.

However, those in the big landowner class used various means to acquire and accumulate land. The Wei Dynasty also imposed various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. It is said that the latest taxes were collected thirty years later.

Those big landowners are playing tricks by hiding their land, and there are so-called policies and countermeasures at the top, but in the end they still suffer the bottom of the people.

Although there are many evil spirits outside Beiye City, as long as you don't go into the woods or evil places, and only move around during the day, the environment is pretty good. Unfortunately, there are still large areas of fertile land vacant.

That is because the big landowners would rather leave the land vacant than let people cultivate it, in order to maintain and increase the price of food.

Wen Lianggong, who was conducting market research, shook his head.

The contradiction between the bottom class and the middle and upper class is sharp, and there is no way to rebel.

The low-level rioters were too weak in force and were killed by the powerful strongmen sent by the imperial court in just a few seconds. Even though the Wei Dynasty was rotten from the roots, it still maintained the status of the country for more than 600 years. years, and from the current point of view, it seems that it can still continue.
