Journey to the West: I want to be sanctified

Chapter 19 Tai'an County

Numerous causal lines spread rapidly from 33 days away to Bear's Claw Mountain, densely packed and endless.

As small as a flower and a grass, as large as a towering ancient tree, all creatures, people, birds, beasts, birds, insects, etc. are entangled with causal threads.

Under the full power of Taishang Daozu's deduction of the Taiji diagram, a mosquito's past and present lives have been dug out clearly.

The previous anomaly here was indeed caused by a coincidence, when the villagers offered incense to the emperor of Dongyue.

Now it seems that there is no mastermind behind the scenes, and everything is pure coincidence.

"This Zhou Yin has neither a past life nor a future life, but he is undoubtedly a human race."

"That's all, if the master shows up next time, let's worry about it."

Taishang Daozu said a few words to himself, shook his head, and sat on the cloud futon again, closing his eyes to practice.

~~~

At noon, at noon in late spring and early summer, the sun is already a bit scorching. Pedestrians appear on the official road from time to time, either riding horses or donkeys. Very few have carriages, and more pedestrians.

Zhou Yin and Li Zichun were sitting in the bullock cart, beside them were baskets of preliminarily treated herbs, which were filled with the fragrance of herbs, so they would not suffer from heat stroke.

The villager who drove the cart was Niu San, a smart man who bought herbs in several nearby villages, dried them in the sun, and then took them to the county to sell them to the drugstores in the county.

It can be regarded as a middleman of medicinal materials.

"Old Immortal, Tai'an County is ahead." Niu San said briskly.

After hearing this, Zhou Yin stood up hurriedly, looking at the approaching city wall ahead.

I saw that the city wall was about five meters high, and there were guards on it.

"This city wall looks very strong." Zhou Yin sighed, the city wall is so majestic in a small county!

"Little Daoist Zhou, you are still young, so you don't know. This city wall is also newly built. Since the new emperor took office, construction has been carried out everywhere. Although it looks majestic, many prisoners died of exhaustion during the construction."

Niu San waved his bullwhip and introduced it to Zhou Yin in a serious manner.

"Dare to ask Brother Niu, what is the year name of this year?"

Niu San froze his whip-waving hand, and said in a low voice, "Little Daoist Zhou, lower your voice, you mean the reign name? I don't know for sure. I only know that the new emperor is called Yang Guang, who just became emperor last year. Don’t talk about the emperor when you enter the city, you will be beheaded if you are caught.”

Yang Guang?

The one who built the Grand Canal?

Sui Dynasty?

It has not been a few years since the arrival of the Tang Dynasty.

Soon there will be chaos?
Zhou Yin wanted to improve his strength, and wanted to cultivate immortality quickly.

If I were still a mortal, my life would be worthless in ancient wars!

"Master, who was the emperor when you were in Chang'an?"

Zhou Yin asked curiously, who was the emperor in Chang'an 30 years ago?
Li Zichun stroked his beard and said proudly, "I am a cultivator, no matter who the emperor is, Taixuanzong has been passed down for thousands of years, no matter who is the emperor, he is still an emperor in the world, how can he compare to my generation of cultivators."

Zhou Yin felt relieved, it seems that although the history of Journey to the West and his original world is similar, they are quite different.

Zhou Yin set a goal for himself: to grow his body as soon as possible, and then practice Qijue!Strive to enter the foundation building period as soon as possible!

As the bullock cart entered, Niu San knew the faces of the soldiers guarding the gate of the county seat. The soldiers asked a few words as usual before letting them go.

There was no extortion of tolls.

Entering the city gate, the environment inside is quite different, and it looks a bit prosperous.

There is a lot of people, strolling in the extremely wide streets, with various shops and restaurants on both sides, and various flags fluttering in the wind.

There was a list at the gate of the city, and many people gathered around the front, shouting about catching monsters and the like. The bullock cart continued to drive, so Zhou Yin didn't pay attention any more. There would be opportunities to learn more about it in the future.

Niu San got out of the car, held the ox rope in his hand, and said in a voice half proud and half envious, "The county is prosperous and much better than the village. I don't know how many more carts of herbs can be sent to buy a house in the county."

Li Zichun and Zhou Yin also got off the bullock cart, "Niu San, how much does it cost to buy a house in Tai'an County?"

Niu San thought Li Zichun was following his own exclamation to ask, so he replied a little sadly, "If you want to buy a house in the south of the city, it will cost at least ten taels of silver. Other places are cheaper, but not much cheaper. Think about me. This trip can only earn five cents at most, and the demand for pharmacies is still high. If the business of pharmacies is not good and they don't accept medicinal materials, then drink northwest wind.

I want to save enough taels of silver without eating or drinking, how long will it take. "

Zhou Yin nodded after listening to Niu San's words.

It's not easy to buy a house in Journey to the West.

Fortunately, Lord Heifeng gave 1000 taels of silver, so it is not a problem to buy 100 houses in Tai'an County.

After sighing, Niu San cupped his hands at Li Zichun and Zhou Yin, "Old Immortal, Little Daoist Zhou, I will send the medicinal materials to the pharmacy first, and you two will go shopping first. After two hours, I will wait for you two at the gate of the city." , let’s go back to the village together.”

Zhou Yin smiled, "Brother Niu, there's no need. Master and I will temporarily live in the county. Today, thank you, Brother Niu, for giving us a ride."

Niu San was taken aback, "Aren't you going back? Then where do you live?"

Li Zichun said loudly, "Where can't I live as a cultivator?"

Niu San thought for a while, yes, there are temples in Tai'an County, not to mention that this old god has magical powers, some supernatural powers, food and clothing are naturally indispensable.

"Okay, old fairy, when you come to the county in the future, Niu San will bring you some special products."

After exchanging greetings, Niu San went to work with the ox cart.

Zhou Yin looked at Li Zichun, "Master, what are we going to do now?"

Li Zichun stroked his beard:

"Go to the inn first and find a place to stay."

Zhou Yin nodded.

Both master and apprentice are dressed in Taoist robes today.

Li Zichun is a fairy, with white hair and beard, and he looks like a bluff.

Zhou Yin is delicate and tender, looks cute and smart.

Walking on the street with such a pair, the rate of turning heads is very high!

Not long after, the master and the apprentice saw a tall building beside the road. On the plaque, the words "Tai'an Inn" were flying and flying. It looked very lively inside. It was named Tai'an, and it must be the best inn in Tai'an County. "

"This little Taoist chief said it well! Guotai Minan, Tai'an Inn is the number one inn in Tai'an County! The two Taoist priests, please come inside!"

A waiter was sending a few diners out, and just turned around to enter the door, just in time to hear Zhou Yin's words, and immediately greeted him.

Li Zichun nodded, and entered the door with Zhou Yin led by Xiaoer.

The Tai'an Inn has three floors. The first floor is a place for eating with more than a dozen tables, and the second and third floors are guest rooms.

"Old Taoist, a room?"

The shopkeeper looked at Li Zichun with a smile.

"Twin bed room." A faint voice came, which made the shopkeeper tremble with fright.
