Taoist Fang Xian

Chapter 187 People of the Northern Territory
I saw this soldier in action.

Even if Fang Xin had already expected this place, he couldn't help being extremely surprised at the moment:

"This northern border is interesting."

Although it is said that these soldiers above all seem to have a bad temper.

But follow the rules.

Even the worst rules are better than disorder.

obviously.

The Patriarch Bliss has been able to rule here for many years, so he naturally has his own order.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly drove the carriage and walked towards the land in the northern border.

Leaving this small river.

When I really came to the land where the northern border is located, I felt the misty clouds in the sky all the time.

For a moment, he felt only a heavy pressure on his heart.

even.

The aura of his ancestral orifice also crazily warned him.

Will die, really will die.

Once the aura appears, it will definitely die!
Fang Xin, who had known for a long time that he would experience this kind of scene, was very calm, without any change on his face.

Isn't it just not using aura.

When he came, he was already in Laifu Town, and he had experienced a lot of interesting witchcraft.

Don't say it yet.

In Laifu Town, the things that inherit witchcraft are actually stone tablets one after another.

And all kinds of witchcraft are strange.

Although these witchcrafts did not tap the ancestral orifices to gain inspiration from heaven and earth.

But also extraordinary.

Even, among them, the more powerful spells, even masters at the meditation level, can curse to death.

Of course, there are gains and losses.

To be able to curse a person of this level to death, it is basically unknown how many lives were consumed.

But I have to say that like this kind of ancient witchcraft, it is all about praying for God's will or Qi.

To some extent, it can be said that it is borrowing the power of God.

This should be the reason why the Patriarch of Bliss did not take action, and killed the person who practiced this sorcery.

After all, this territory with a radius of tens of thousands of miles and hundreds of thousands of miles is boundless, and it always needs the assistance of a wizard.

Don't say it yet.

Leaving this small river, not too far away, he came to a small town that didn't seem too small.

The whole town is built along the river.

There are people coming and going inside, and it looks very lively.

What surprised Fang Xin the most was that.

In the small town in front of you, although each of them is not red and white, they all have a healthy rosy color.

At first glance, life is good.

This surprised Fang Xin a little.

After all, even in the East China Sea, like those nearby small towns, it is impossible for everyone to eat enough and eat well.

After all, someone has to give selflessly.

And seeing Fang Xin coming in a carriage, the villagers of other small towns, one by one, took a look and left as if they were used to it.

It looks exceptionally comfortable.

But if he was not mistaken, every person walking on the street seemed to have a faintly visible scar on the wrist of his left hand.

even.

Some young men looked younger, and some of their hands were wrapped in a layer of white cloth.

It looked bloody.

It seemed that he had scratched his arm.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xin somewhat understood that this should be a relatively special ritual in the Northern Demonic Land.

Find a grocery store.

Afterwards, Fang Xin drove the carriage aside:
"Boss, do you want special products from the East China Sea?"

"I not only have sea fish here, but also sea shrimp, and I even bring a lot of dried fruits."

“Definitely a great value for money.”

Hearing Fang Xin's greeting, the boxy square face who was sleeping inside came over with a serious face:

"Are you a merchant from the East China Sea?"

"If I'm here to sell something, then I have to check the quality!"

When he said this, he walked to Fang Xin's carriage, then opened a bag casually, and squeezed it with his hands:
"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out.

It was like the kind of dried fish that had been basked in the sun, but he crushed it into powder with a light pinch.

It seems to be a bit of a foundation.

Smelling the powder in his hand, the boss couldn't help but looked at Fang Xin in surprise:
"These are all good stuff!"

When he said this, he directly invited Fang Xin into the room, made him some tea, and then said:
"Boss, since they are from the East China Sea, they must come here for money."

"It's not easy to get so many good products. The boss really decided to sell us Kelaiju?"

When he said this, he seemed to specifically remind:
"Although I don't know what the boss has suffered along the way."

"But being alone is always difficult."

"Our small town of Yishui is located in the most marginal area of ​​our northern border, so we naturally have some understanding of the prices in the East China Sea."

"If the boss is really willing to sell, then we can only pay three times the price at most, and if we go further, we can earn at least five times the profit."

"Boss, do you really want to sell?"

Seeing the sincerity of the square-faced boss, Fang Xin couldn't help laughing:
"Boss, you are blocking your way of making money."

"Don't you want to make a lot of money?"

Along the way, it was the first time that Fang Xin met such an honest boss, and Fang Xin felt very interesting.

And heard Fang Xin's inquiry.

The boss couldn't help laughing softly and said:
"Our northern border is different from yours in the East China Sea. Even if there is no way out in the end, we will never die of hunger."

"Don't look at you rich businessmen, you can trade with us if you have nothing to do, and earn many times the benefits, but you are really not as stable as us."

When talking about this, the boss seemed to think of something, first smiled, and then said to Fang Xin:

"As the old saying goes, the poor make evil plans, the rich grow a conscience, and the granary and granaries know etiquette."

"Although I'm not very rich, I still have some spare cash, so naturally I don't want to cheat my boss for a while."

When he said this, he casually stroked the table next to him, as if he didn't care.

And heard this.

Even Fang Xin couldn't help but nodded in agreement for a moment:
"What the boss said is very true~"

Even the most basic survival cannot be guaranteed, so it is natural to fight for survival, and all kinds of things emerge in endlessly.

But if there is guarantee.

If you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, people can naturally pick up all kinds of etiquette.

Nature is virtuous enough.

Otherwise, why do the upper-level people always have more etiquette, while the lower-level people don't even know what etiquette is?

After the agreement was over, Fang Xin couldn't help but sighed helplessly, and then said:
"Although I know that the boss has good intentions, there is nothing I can do to tell the truth."

"After all, we are not like that kind of big chamber of commerce. We can only fight alone and come to the north to do some business."

"I came here for the first time, just to find out the way, and if I can open up the market, everything will be fine in the future."

"Maybe in the future, when I have capital, I can be a neighbor with my boss..."

When it came to the end, Fang Xin couldn't help laughing.

It seems that there is such an idea.

Hearing what Fang Xin said, the boss couldn't help being happy. Then, he smiled, and then introduced himself:
"My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Shan. I am the shopkeeper of the grocery store. Dare I ask the boss's name?"

I heard the boss ask so.

Fang Xin smiled at first, and then opened his mouth to respond:

"My surname is Zhu and my name is Zhu Xing. I am a businessman from the north. I am very honored to have met Boss Wang."

When it came to this, the two of them were polite for a while, after all, they will only establish a transaction from now on.

There is nothing wrong with what Fang Xin said.

After all, after opening the market for the first time, it will be easier in the future.

After the two of them introduced themselves, Boss Wang said:
"Since Boss Zhu is here for the first time, the quality of the goods in his hand is so good."

"I won't say much about anything else."

"The price is three times the market price, not only this time, but also the price when Boss Zhu comes in the future."

It is already quite terrifying to be able to get three times the profit at once.

Although it is said that Yishui Town is in the north.

But it is too close to the East China Sea, so three times the price is already the highest among the same price.

After all, Boss Wang also has to make money.

After the two parties finished the transaction and counted the goods, Fang Xin took Boss Wang and sat next to him again:

"Boss Wang, let's sit inside for a while."

"When I first arrived in Guibao Land, I have to ask the boss about the customs and customs in our northern border."

When he said this, he paused, and then he continued to speak:
"After all, I came here anyway."

"I guess I have to see the world."

Hearing what Fang Xin said, Boss Wang seemed to be interested.

Immediately afterwards, he directly pulled Fang Xin to sit at the table, and then began to talk endlessly:

"Boss Zhu, you are asking the right question."

"Although there are a total of eight grocery stores in our entire town, their background is too shallow."

"Every one of them is just developing from these small towns to the big towns in our northern border."

"But we are different. Our shop is specially set up from a big city, and we have really seen the big world."

When he said this, Boss Wang was very proud, and now he felt a little complacent.

Of course, as a family from a truly big city, they do have proud capital.

Hearing this, Fang Xin asked directly:

"I heard from Boss Wang earlier that we seem to be able to guarantee our basic diet in the northern border."

"It is said that there is no other way in the end, and you can survive. Why is this? Will the imperial court open a warehouse to release food?"

Hearing his question, Boss Wang nodded his head first, and then said with a smile:
"Have you seen a scratch on the left hand of every adult in this small town?"

Seeing Fang Xin nodded, Boss Wang continued to speak:
"In our northern lands."

"Every adult man and woman, on the day they become adults, will cut a hole in their left hand and flow out a bowl of offering blood."

"After taking out this bowl of offering blood and enshrining the holy object, then he is a member of our northern dynasty."

"From now on, even if your business fails or your family dies, the imperial court will guarantee your minimum needs."

"Even if you can make a comeback, you are qualified to offer a bowl of dedicated blood to the holy thing again."

"At that time, he will be a truly famous big shot."

When it came to the end, Boss Wang couldn't help showing a trace of yearning for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he said with some pride:
"The real shopkeeper of our shop is a big man who has donated his blood for the holy object three times."

"Even if they are in the big cities, they are famous big shots. Otherwise, how could they spread the stall so big?"

Hearing what he said, Fang Xin couldn't help being a little surprised.

When you are an adult, you have to offer a bowl of blood.

Only when they make a comeback can they be eligible to offer a second bowl of blood.

This rule is really interesting.

Thinking of this, Fang Xin couldn't help asking:

"Why do you want to offer a bowl of blood?"

"Don't the boss know that blood is the essence of the human body, and if you waste blood rashly, you will lose your lifespan?"

"This... this is a bit evil."

When it came to the end, Fang Xin's whole body trembled a few times, as if he was frightened.

however.

Hearing what Fang Xin said, Boss Wang stood up involuntarily:

"you……"

But after a while, he seemed to recover, and then sat down.

Although his face was a little unhappy, he seemed to understand:

"You were born in the East China Sea, and the rules of nature are different from those of our northern dynasty."

"When you become an adult, you have to donate a bowl of blood for worship. This is justified, and it is an obligation that everyone should fulfill."

"Even all the laws in the dynasty are clearly recorded."

"If you are from the northern border, and you say such offensive words, I will definitely take you to the government and chop off your head."

When it came to the end, Boss Wang couldn't help but ordered:

"Boss Zhu, from now on, I'm going to do as the Romans do."

"You have your customs, and we have ours."

"The custom that is unacceptable to you is a matter of course for us, and it is a truth passed down from generation to generation."

"Don't say that in the future."

When it came to the end, Boss Wang's voice was a little heavy.

Looked genuinely offended.

Seeing Boss Wang's behavior like this, Fang Xin nodded involuntarily, as if he understood.

But the whole person was extremely shocked.

Unexpectedly, this ancestor of bliss had domesticated the people of the northern border to such an extent.

This old devil is simply terrifying!
