Survival [End Times]

Yu Heng's business was indeed good, and so were several people who spoke Zhenwei language fluently.

At noon, the patrol team came to collect taxes, which was a head tax of five bone coins per person. Those who could not pay would have goods worth about the same as the five bone coins taken away.

Yu Heng's goods sold very well. While he was still sorting out the baskets, he secretly took new goods from his storage ring and put them in. By noon, he had earned twenty-seven bone coins and nineteen shell coins.

"I'll go buy lunch."

There were also many food stalls on the opposite side, and the fragrance kept drilling into his nose.

Yu Heng looked at them one by one and asked the price. In the end, he bought four bowls of mixed grain porridge, which cost two bone coins per bowl. It was a large bowl, and the aroma of mixed grains was fragrant.

Although they were not short of food, they had not had a good meal of porridge for a long time.

Seeing that his parents were eating happily, Yu Heng blamed himself for not letting his parents live a good life.

Cui Nan finished the porridge, took out the bone coin and bought four buns, giving one to each member of the Yu family.

There were many sounds of swallowing saliva and rumbling stomachs around. After eating the buns, Yu Heng wiped his hands and said to his parents: "Mom and Dad, I'm going to take a look around and will be back soon."

"Okay, don't get lost!"

Yu Heng found a study by asking for directions.

The study was quiet, and the clerk was sleeping on his stomach. He glanced at him and said: "You can look around, but you have to pay for the damage."

"Okay, I'll be careful."

The study was not very big, and it was filled with bookshelves and bookcases, all crowded with books.

He whispered to the clerk: "Excuse me, do you have any books on geography and history?"

The clerk reluctantly raised his head and pointed in a direction: "Over there, don't damage it."

Seeing Yu Heng walking towards the bookshelf over there, he muttered: "He is actually a scholar who wants to be an official... The imperial examination is no longer popular now."

Yu Heng also heard this sentence and wrote it down silently.

When he came to this bookshelf, there were indeed the books he wanted.

"History of Beiyun City", "Brief History of Zhenwei Continent", "Geographical Atlas of Zhenwei Continent", "Brief History of Xizhou", "Geographical Atlas of Beiyun City", "Study on Customs of Beiyun City", "Worldly World and Cultivation"...

Yu Heng immediately took out the heavy "Brief History of Zhenwei Continent" and carefully sat on the ground to read it.

Since he got the [Wisdom] attribute, he has almost a photographic memory. At this time, he quickly read the beginning and was deeply shocked!

Zhenwei Continent, developed from Zhenyuan Continent, later collapsed due to the ancient war, and was divided into Zhenwei Continent, Zhenxing Continent, Zhentao Continent and Zhenmiao Continent, separated by the endless sea, which could not be crossed by anyone other than Yuanying Zhenren.

Zhenwei Continent ranks third in area among the four continents, with vast land and abundant spiritual energy. Billions of creatures cultivate and rest, creating a grand scene of cultivation. The sound of crushing the void often resounds throughout the continent, attracting people's attention.

…

Seeing this, Yu Heng's heart beat very fast.

It seems that this is not an ordinary ancient environment, but a place where immortals can be cultivated and prove the truth!

He immediately combined the demon cultivators and inner elixir mentioned by the Tu family. It turned out that it was not that those who provided clues misheard and caused the translation to be biased, but that there really was such a thing as demon cultivators!

Could the Tu family also be a family of immortal cultivators? !

This thought made Yu Heng break out in a cold sweat.

He quickly thought about whether he had left any omissions - and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly read through the books he had chosen, and did not have time to read them carefully. He planned to review them carefully after returning.

The clerk yawned and came over to take a look, shaking his head disapprovingly: "What's the point of reading like this? The books in our store can be read slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Yu Heng smiled at him innocently.

"Whatever, whatever you want, remember not to damage them, it will be difficult to compensate."

"Thank you."

When Yu Heng walked out of the study, the scorching sun made him a little dazed. He cheered up and walked towards the stall. He happened to meet a caravan that had just entered the city. Everyone had a loud voice and chatted while leading the horse.

Hearing words like Tujia and Beicang City, Yu Heng unconsciously slowed down his pace and followed.

After listening to a few words, those people had changed the topic, but he still heard something useful.

But this matter seemed to have ended hastily. The merchants went back and forth from north to south, and all kinds of news were flying all over the sky. They said that the incident of the Tu family in Beicang City had been settled, and it was done by a group of outsiders.

Speaking of that group of outsiders, they were strong and sturdy, and they killed people without blinking an eye. Fortunately, the Tu family had a unique vision and took them down in one go. In the end, the group of people were taken away by the Tu family, saying that they would be made to work to atone for their sins.

"What a mercy..."

"Oh, I heard that the meat of the beasts produced by the Tu family tastes good! Although it is not as nourishing as the legendary spirit beasts, the taste is really unique. I don’t know how the Tu family raises such good meat beasts."

"They must have a unique secret recipe! Otherwise, how could they become the first family in Beicang City. I just don’t know where those outsiders got the courage to dare to touch the tiger’s head."

"Hey, let’s buy some meat from the Tu family next time. I’ll save money first..."

After listening to a few more gossips, Yu Heng walked back calmly.

When he got back there, he found that there were fewer people in their group. Looking at the expressions of his parents Cui Nan, they all felt something was wrong.

When Yu Heng was seen, Yu's mother's eyes lit up and she waved: "You're back!"

"Mom, what happened?"

"Just now someone posted a notice in front saying that the Beiyun City Lord's Mansion was recruiting people, and they all went to see it."

After saying that, it turned out that there were fewer people in their group, and there were also fewer people in other stalls.

"I'll go check out the notice."

The notice was just a hundred meters ahead, and Yu Heng squeezed in to take a look. It turned out that the City Lord's Mansion was recruiting people. Those who were interested could go to the training ground of the City Lord's Mansion to sign up now.

The benefits were very good, and if you were admitted, you could also obtain household registration.

"I'll go back home and tell my family before I apply for the job... My home is so far away, what if I can't make it in time? I also want my cousin to go with me."

"There are seven days, enough time!"

Yu Heng grabbed a young man who was talking and asked humbly: "Excuse me, what is household registration?"

"Oh, you must be from a remote mountain. Come, let me tell you, this household registration is very important. Not every city can issue household registration. First of all, the city must have a city lord. Secondly, you must have the ability. The city lord's mansion will issue you a household registration and recognize you as a resident of his jurisdiction. At that time, various living allowances will be enough for you to eat!"

This logic is a bit problematic. Yu Heng was confused when he heard it, but seeing this man looking at him reservedly, he had to thank him repeatedly: "You know a lot!"

"Of course, I still have to apply for the job, so I'll go first."

But at least Yu Heng knew that household registration was not necessary in this place, which satisfied him. Otherwise, they would all be illegal residents.

He looked at the notice again, which only said that the City Lord's Mansion was recruiting people, but did not say what position. Of course, as long as the seal of the City Lord's Mansion was stamped on it, no matter what job it was, everyone was very happy and active.

When returning to the stall, Yu Heng counted: "Nine people left, right?"

"Yes, they were all the ones who spoke better about Zhen Weiyu." Cui Nan said, "After hearing other people talk about the benefits of the City Lord's Mansion, they hurriedly followed the crowd."

He frowned: "I advised them a few words, but they didn't listen."

"Don't pay attention."

Someone also asked him: "Yu Heng, have you read the notice? What exactly is written on it?" This is because he couldn't read the words and didn't dare to follow and apply for the job easily.

Yu Heng didn't hide it and recited the notice again.

Sure enough, a few more people packed up and left, and only two came to say goodbye.

"Well, thank you for your care during this period. Let's go over there and see you. We'll see you again if we're lucky."

After lunch, the sun got even hotter. Yu Heng stopped setting up the stall. He was afraid of being sunburned, so he found a remote place with a tree shade and began to cool off.

"Bao'er, why are you so worried?"

Faced with Yu's mother's question, Yu Heng shook his head: "I'm thinking about what we should do in the future."

"Selling things is too tiring, and I can't make much money."

"It's better to eat royal food. Isn't the City Lord's Mansion the boss of this city? If you can work for them, you will definitely have no worries about food and clothing."

The people who spoke spoke in their native language. Yu Heng winked at them and whispered what he had seen and heard today.

"Although we are far away from Beicang City now, everyone should be careful in the future. After all, we have never seen the methods of the Tu family. Speaking the real Wei language is at least a layer of protection."

At least people won't think you are different because of your language and attract attention.

This is really a bolt from the blue!

"Cultivate immortals? Can you cultivate immortals here?"

"Oh my god, can you live forever?"

Everyone was very surprised. Those who didn't know what cultivating immortals was asked quickly, and those who knew helped to answer.

"That's what they say on TV and in novels...Oh my god, I didn't expect that one day I would be able to come to a place like this? Can I cultivate immortals? I also want to be a fairy!"

"Everyone calm down, we have been here for these days, and all the people we have seen are ordinary people." Yu Heng said, "Even if you can cultivate immortals, it is not a level we can touch."

His mentality is very peaceful.

He has read countless books in his study, all of which are engraved in his mind. At this time, he told everyone about the connection between the secular world and cultivating immortals.

"The place we are in now belongs to the seventeenth state among the nineteen states in the west of Zhenwei Continent, and the nineteen states in the west is the gathering place of mortals in Zhenwei Continent. Since ancient times, there has been a lack of spiritual energy here, and the residents are born without spiritual roots, and there is not even a sect of immortal cultivation.

Even if the sects of immortal cultivation in Dongzhou and Nanzhou select disciples from mortals, they will never come to Xizhou."

In short, Xizhou is trash among mortals, and it is still at the level of fighter jets. People don't look down on it at all.

This is another reason why Yu Heng is determined: since Xizhou is like this, no matter how powerful the Tu family in Beicang City is, they will not have many heaven-defying immortal means.

He doesn't have much desire for immortal cultivation, and he has never been an ambitious person.

But others are ambitious, and several people changed their faces in an instant.

"How do you know so clearly?!"

Yu Heng said lightly: "I saw it in the study, these are common sense, everyone can go and have a look when they have time, and it will be good for you to know more."

There will always be people who are content with what they have, and there will also be more motivated people.

"Maybe I also have spiritual roots?!"

Yu Heng didn't want to hide anything. He was learning Zhenwei language the fastest and could get all kinds of information faster. He told these common sense just for the sake of friendship with his fellow countrymen. Besides, it didn't affect him at all. It was just a piece of cake.

Then he would not interfere with other people's choices in the future.

He would only try his best to protect himself and his family.

Took my parents by the hand and found a simple food stall, ordered a pot of tea and a plate of snacks, and started a lunch break.

This food stall is a cheap business, with a tent and more than a dozen tables and chairs, specializing in the business of poor people.

The tea is bland, the snacks don't look good, and taste crumbly and dry.

But since you're here, don't despise such a stall.

Even in this food stall, people are talking about the recruitment of people in the City Lord's Mansion.
