From martial arts apprentice to Dagan martial artist

Chapter 54

Li Yi sat in a cart full of goods and slowly drove out of the city.

The wheel pressed on the ground, leaving a shallow mark, and at a glance, it was clear that the things on this carriage were definitely not light.

There was a carriage behind him, and a little road boy was sitting on it, looking at the big horse pulling the carriage and seemed a little helpless.

Li Yi went to buy a lot of goods this morning, and took a few days off with the government, preparing to send these things to the Taiping Temple.

The most loaded thing on the carriage was meat. He contacted the butcher last night and killed two pigs and two sheep.

He even loaded two or three hundred eggs. As for other chickens and fish, there were countless meats. As for the cloth, he took another six or seven pieces of new cloth.

There is also a lot of flour, and it is even filled with a cart, which weighs one or two thousand catties.

Zhang Daochang is good to himself, he can't do anything by saying anything, and try his best to help Taipingguan as much as he can.

This time out of the city, he also wanted to see how to go from Sifang City to Taipingguan.

If you encounter problems at that time, you can also take your senior sister to leave, and temporarily go to the Taiping Temple to avoid disaster.

The carriage slowly passed through the city gate, and once outside the city, the crowd was sparse, and many of them were during the Chinese New Year.

Most people don't come out and run around, and even the streets are sparsely populated.

Now it's cold, and the cold wind blows on him like a knife.

Li Yi doesn't have to worry that he already has a cultivation base, let alone wearing a padded jacket is not cold.

Although the little Taoist priest behind him was not wearing particularly good clothes, it was still warm.

The weather is good now, although there is a strong wind, but there is no snow.

Out of the city, except for the occasional village manor, the rest are large tracts of rice fields and barren forests.

There are also several low mountains more than a hundred feet high, and wild beasts appear from time to time.

Sparsely populated and hard to see.

"Little Taoist priest, what should I do next?" Li Yi said.

Although he has been out of the city, he is in the city most of the time, and he has only been outside the city and is not familiar with it.

I don't know how to get to Taiping.

"Oh! Let Xiaodao drive the car." Xiaodaotong said, and hurriedly jumped from the carriage behind him to the front to drive the car.

Li Yi handed the reins to him, got off the carriage, and looked at the surroundings.

Although it is an official road, it can be a little deeper, and it is a dark and deep jungle, and there are two low mountains standing not far away.

The farther away from the city, the more desolate the surroundings.

However, Baili is still safe, there are no bandits and bandits that have become climates, and there are no ferocious beasts.

Kill someone here and no one will find out.Once the corpse is lost in the forest, it will be quickly eaten by wild animals.

Even if someone traces it, nothing can be traced, and it is completely impossible to spy.

The so-called order outside the city is only part of the order.

The government maintains order in the city, and within a hundred miles outside the city, it is the clan elders of the five major families who maintain order.

And a hundred miles away, it is a place completely out of order.

Everything is in a raw state of chaos.

As soon as Li Yi left the city, he could feel the power of the official seal in his arms constantly disappearing.

Only more than ten miles away from the city, he completely lost all power and became an ordinary official seal.

Li Yi looked at the dense forest not far away, and took out a map from his arms.

After more than thirty miles, it was fifty miles away from Sifang City.

A low mountain gradually appeared, and the low mountain was built with a mountain road. Now it is extremely old under the wind and rain, and even many places have broken and broken.

Halfway up the hillside, the terrain suddenly flattened, surrounded by countless terraced fields.

There is a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. After countless years, it looks as old and dilapidated as the mountain road.

Simply clean and tidy.

Li Yi stopped the carriage, and the little Daotong jumped down immediately, "I hope the layman will wait here, and the poor road will go up the mountain to inform the master."

After he finished speaking, he got up and ran up the mountain.

Li Yi saw that his expression changed when he was walking, and he finally understood the reason why he was struggling to live with these Taoist priests of Taiping.

Because of martial arts.

Zhang Mengling has a cultivation base, and the cultivation base of this little Taoist is quite good, so he must have been strong since childhood.

Martial arts training not only needs to ensure food, but more importantly, the consumption of medicinal herbs, which is the bulk.

On the contrary, the food is the best even if it is eaten openly, and it does not cost ten taels of silver a month.

If you buy well-raised pigs and sheep like farmers outside the city, or raise some of your own to kill, the cost will only be lower.

For a martial artist, one month's food expenses can be completely controlled within three taels of silver.

The pill is different, if you want to ensure the progress of your practice, even a martial artist in the realm of meat training, you need five or sixty taels a month.

With so many warriors practicing martial arts together, the amount of money consumed every month can only be imagined.

Taipingguan is not like the family in the city, there are countless ways to make money, so it seems that it is a lot poorer.

If there are not many warriors based on the value of the secret medicine alone, one or two copies are sold every year, which is enough for them to use Taipingguan for a year.

But with many warriors, no amount of money can afford this kind of expense.

Li Yi didn't wait long at the foot of the mountain, and soon many Taoists came down together.

"Jushi Li." Zhang Mengling bowed his hands slightly.

Li Yi also hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

"I have already received the medicine given by the Taoist priest. I will provide some white flour and meat for Guannei, and I hope to accept it."

Zhang Mengling didn't refuse, he greeted other Taoists, and quickly moved these things into the Taoist temple.

These people are all accomplished warriors, so their movements are extremely fast.

Li Yi also went to the Taiping Temple with Zhang Mengling, went to the main hall to worship Sanqing, and then wandered around the temple.

Although the Taiping View looks dilapidated from the outside, the interior is still intact and can keep out the wind and rain.

There are nearly a hundred Taoist priests in Guannei, and there are more than ten Kundao, who are also accomplished warriors.

Li Yi didn't stay too long in Taipingguan, just came to familiarize himself with the road last time.

If there is a problem in the future, when I face some crisis, I can ask Zhao Qian to come here first to avoid disaster.

Zhang Mengling is trustworthy, and there are many warriors in the Taiping Temple, which can be considered safe.

At least it's safer than staying in the city.

Li Yi went down the mountain and left, and Zhang Mengling sent him several miles away.

…………

…………

Because of the lack of cargo, the carriage was very fast.

Li Yi was not in a hurry to return to the city and quickly took a fork in the road, stopping in front of a low mountain and dense forest.

He came here to do one of the most important things, catch snakes, catch seven steps to death.

This is also the reason why he decided to leave the city. Taking advantage of the fact that many snakes are still hibernating, he grabbed them and cut off their heads and removed their fangs to make poison.

Li Yi took precautions, walked into the jungle wearing thick gloves, and immediately looked for it.

It is winter now, and many poisonous snakes are hidden and hard to find.

However, this jungle is rich in extremely poisonous snakes such as Qibuxian, and there is no antidote, at least no one has found it for the time being.

Because once bitten, it is a dead end.

It didn't take him long to search here, he found seven or eight, carefully took the fangs and put them in the porcelain bottle.

Soak in cold water that has been boiled and purified, even for a year or two.

After doing all this, he just returned to the city to resume his normal life.

In the first half of the day, he practiced and handled official documents, and in the second half of the day, he accompanies Zhao Qian at home.
