Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 467: Taking advantage of others

When two country bumpkin goblins entered the city for the first time, they were 'shocked' by seeing a senior monk like Zhang Miao.

This man kills people at every turn, and he even killed the divine law enforcer of Zhongzhou City. How dare he! Moreover, this man did not escape after killing someone, but continued towards the city!

What is this called? This is called a gangster!
Zhang Miao looked at the two of them and became silent with fear. He couldn't help but said: "You don't have to be nervous. I certainly won't go in like this." As he said that, he took out some materials and began to draw. These materials were the core materials in the two Wat boards he had just destroyed. Now it is directly used by Zhang Miao.

He changed the formation in the wat tablet and tampered with some runes. In a short time, a slightly crude block was ready.

"This is the Breath Concentrating Formation. Wearing this thing can hide your aura and appearance. Unless there are monks above the Hedao realm to observe you at close range, or have special magic weapons, your true appearance and aura will not be revealed. come out."

Zhang Miao handed this thing to the two goblins and continued: "With this thing, you don't have to worry about being discovered."

Lin Frog was still a little worried after getting this treasure. He asked cautiously: "What if...I mean what if, what if there is a Hedao realm monk observing us at close range?"

Zhang Miao looked at him speechlessly and said calmly: "If there is really a Hedao realm monk who observes you at close range, then you will have no choice but to wait for death. But, will there be a Hedao realm monk who observes you at close range?"

As soon as these words came out, Rana was choked and speechless. Yes, why do Hedao realm monks observe him at close range? This kind of worry is like Boss Ma suddenly saying to you, I am very optimistic about you, you should take over Alibaba. This kind of thing may happen, but the probability is too small...

Lin Frog and Chang'e put on the breathing formation, and their appearance changed. The originally short and ugly wood frog suddenly became tall and powerful, and Chang'e's abnormally long neck also became normal.

The two conjured up a water mirror and observed it. Rana looked at his other self in the mirror. He was quite satisfied. Chang'e curled her lips because the long neck she was proud of was gone. Without this thing, what difference would she make to an ordinary and vulgar beauty?
The two goblins finished their disguises, and Zhang Miao transformed himself. He used Yang Shen to slightly change his body and change the aura of Yang Shen. In this way, a strange Zhang Miao appeared in front of the two goblins. before.

Yang Shen can change, and it is not difficult to change his breath and appearance. After the three people had changed, Zhang Miao said: "It's a bit risky to enter the city now. There are many broken rules here, so you still need to find a guide."

There are hundreds of millions of people in Zhongzhou City. Without rules and regulations, it would be chaos. Therefore, there are many rules here, which are very different from the great freedom pursued by monks.

The next second, Zhang Miao looked at Lin Wa. Lin Wa was shocked. He immediately covered his storage bag and said, "Master, I have no money! I really have no money!"

Zhang Miao said angrily: "Looking at the way you are searching, who would like you like this? I don't want much. At worst, I will pay you double in the future."

Rana blushed when he heard this. What is the difference between Zhang Miao's words and those bosses who paint big cakes? At this time, Chang'e said: "Master, if he doesn't want to give it, then I'll give it to you. Although it's not much, it should be enough..."

Before she finished speaking, Rana immediately said: "How can I ask for your money? You should keep your money to buy rouge and gouache!" After saying that, he finally reluctantly opened the storage bag and poured out some more spirit. Stone comes.

Looking at his look, Zhang Miao couldn't help but say: "Okay, I lent you this money, and I will pay it back to you in the future. If it doesn't work, my Tongtian Temple will be paid to you in the future!"

Hearing this, Rana became even more melancholy. Tongtian Temple is indeed good, but it must also have a life purpose. Without Zhang Miao's care, he and Chang'e would be seeking death by living in Tongtian Temple! It's like people in the early days pointed to the vast ocean of nuclear pollution and said to their children and grandchildren: "This is the property left to you by your predecessors! You are blessed!"

With money, it would be easier for Zhang Miao to find someone. Although they are still outside Zhongzhou City, the entire Zhongzhou is very prosperous. If you go to any small village or town and ask around, there will be many people willing to be guides.

Zhang Miao and others were outsiders, and the guide quoted an inflated price. In Zhongzhou, discrimination against outsiders is common. Here, even the young monks in the foundation-building stage dare to discriminate against the great Yuanying demons from other places.

Zhang Miao hired a guide at a high price of one thousand spirit stones per day. Although the guide's price was high, his work was still reliable. He took Zhang Miao and three others into Zhongzhou City, and then told them a lot of rules.

First of all, random flying is not allowed in Zhongzhou City. If you want to fly, you must apply for a flight license. If you want to fly with a flying mount or magic weapon, you must also apply for a driving license. And even if you have two certificates, there are still many places that are no-fly zones, and sometimes there are no-fly periods, and there are also limited numbers.

It is impossible for outsiders to obtain flight licenses and driving licenses. These two types of certificates are exclusive to the natives of Zhongzhou City. Therefore, many outsiders come to Zhongzhou. Basically, they cannot fly, and most of them hire locals as horsemen.

In Zhongzhou City, various places are also planned, with dedicated commercial streets for businesses and dedicated accommodation streets for accommodation. There are also various workshop areas, spell areas, etc. Here, you are not allowed to cast spells and fight in the street at will, as you will be put in jail.

Moreover, most of the shops in Zhongzhou are for foreigners. It is best to use the local dialect here, otherwise your cost of living will be 50% higher.

Living in Zhongzhou City, you have to pay a head tax every year. If you don't pay the tax, you will be expelled. Under many rules, the whole city is prosperous and repressed, but with rules, this huge city is in order.

Zhang Miao and the other three entered the city and listened to the guide's chatter. Even Chang'e, who yearns for big cities, feels that this place is a bit too depressing.

The guide took them around the city for three days. After Zhang Miao and the others roughly understood the basic rules, he was dismissed. Then, Zhang Miao said: "It costs five hundred spirit stones to stay here every day. Let's finish the work quickly and then leave here."

The consumption here is really too high. An ordinary inn chosen by Zhang Miao and others costs five hundred spirit stones a day, let alone those high-end inns.

Chang'e knew that time was tight and the task was heavy, so she immediately took Rana out for shopping. The main reason why she came here was to buy rouge and gouache. Rana, as her follower, is probably going to bleed heavily this time. But Rana is happy, which is completely different from giving money to Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao himself went to find Heng Shiqi.

Heng Shiqi once said that if Zhang Miao is looking for him, he should go to the Ancient Objects Research Association in Zhongzhou City to find him. This association, called the Antiquities Association for short, has an independent building in the center of Zhongzhou City, where land is very valuable. It sells various ancient items. The people who come here are either antiquities enthusiasts or wealthy antiquities buyers.

Antiquities are similar to antiques. People who buy them don't care about their practicality, but they are used to show off. Antiques are expensive, no wonder they can support the housing prices here...

When they arrived at the Antiquities Association, Zhang Miao told the host female cultivator why she was here. The female cultivator said with a troubled face: "The Director Ye Jia you mentioned is not often in the association, and we have no right to contact him directly. We can only give it to you." message."

Zhang Miao was a little surprised when he heard this. Heng Shiqi (Ye Jia) was actually a director! But if he can't be contacted, he will have to spend more money waiting for him...

Money costs money everywhere here, and Zhang Miao's money doesn't come from strong winds, so he can't bear it. Zhang Miao had no choice but to say, "Okay, leave him a message for me and tell him that Zhang Miao is looking for him." After saying this, Zhang Miao shook his head and left.

While walking on the road, Zhang Miao decided to get some spiritual stones.

But how to get enough spiritual stones in a short time?
It is not difficult to obtain spiritual stones. With Zhang Miao's ability, he can earn a large amount of spiritual stones whether he is practicing medicine or making formations. But if you want to get spiritual stones in a short time, these two paths are not suitable. Because this all requires preparation in advance...

Zhang Miao was walking on the street when he suddenly saw the quiet accommodation street next to the bustling commercial street. He suddenly had an idea.

If you want to make quick money, the quickest way is to get off the hook! Zhongzhou City is so big, he doesn't believe that there is no side business. However, this kind of side business cannot be found in the bustling commercial streets. The only way to go is to visit those small streets and alleys.

As a foreigner who is not familiar with the place, I am a little nervous walking into the small streets and alleys. Because you never know what’s in the alleys.

However, Zhang Miao came with a purpose. He walked in the small streets and alleys, looking around constantly. It feels quite sneaky.

Soon, he was targeted. Of course, the people who are eyeing him are not those who want to take advantage of others, but serious residents. There is no commercial activity in the accommodation street, so the people living here are neighbors. If a sneaky person wanders around here, there must be something wrong.

Some residents stopped Zhang Miao and asked politely: "Who are you and why are you here? Are you visiting relatives or friends?"

Among the residents, the strongest one is a late-stage Jindan monk. It is estimated that the stronger person is still at work... The monk looked at Zhang Miao indifferently, wanting to know his answer.

So Zhang Miao smiled slightly and said, "I'm from out of town, and I want to come here to have some fun, you know..." After saying that, he showed an ambiguous smile.

Several residents looked at each other, and then they said angrily: "You bastard, you dare to come to our place! We are a serious neighborhood!"

After saying that, these people raised their fists and wanted to attack Zhang Miao.

Half a quarter of an hour later, these residents fell to the ground with bruises and swollen faces. Zhang Miao grabbed the collar of the late Jindan monk and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, are there any good places nearby, gambling houses, I don’t mind brothels or anything like that!”

This Jindan cultivator was caught by Zhang Miao at the moment, and all his magic power was restricted. How could he not know now that they had hit a wall!

The Jindan monk hesitated and said: "Sir, let me tell you... there is a spiritual tea shop in the third commercial district next door. It is actually a gambling house. When you go in, just say 'I want to buy Jingxiang tea'." , someone will take you there.”

This late Jindan cultivator is a local tyrant after all, and his strength and status allow him to be exposed to some dark sides, so he quickly revealed a place.

Zhang Miao nodded, then turned and left. When Zhang Miao left, the Jindan monk's expression changed. Logically speaking, he would report it to the Divine Law Enforcement Bureau, but thinking of Zhang Miao's bravery, he shuddered again.

Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing, just pretend you have never seen this person...

Zhang Miao followed the man's instructions and came to the commercial street he had passed by. He observed it and quickly identified a shop. This shop had a lot of traffic, and those people didn't look like they were buying tea.

So Zhang Miao tidied his clothes, walked into the tea shop, and said to the boy, "I want to buy Jingxiang tea."

The boy was stunned for a moment, then looked Zhang Miao up and down and said, "This tea is not cheap. Do you have money?"

If it were someone else, they would definitely ask: "How much does it cost?" In fact, this is a capital verification sentence! Zhang Miao patted the bulging spirit stone bag and said calmly: "It's not short of money."

When the boy saw Zhang Miao like this, he didn't ask any more questions. Then he took him to the back hall. In the back hall, there are about ten people playing money. There are soundproof formations and defensive formations here, and there are also several powerful Jindan monks guarding them. Although the place is not big, it seems to be quite formal...

To be honest, Zhang Miao was a little disappointed when he came in. The scale of this place is really too small. There are only five or six tables, how much money can there be. This place doesn't seem to be high-end, it can only be said to be a Caotai team.

Zhang Miao walked around the small gambling house twice. He was a master of formations. By observing the formations, he could determine many things.

There should be several small private rooms behind the lobby, probably for 'big clients'. In a corner of the lobby is a heavily guarded room, probably where chips are exchanged.

There is only one entrance to the entire gambling house. Although it is difficult to escape in the event of an accident, it also prevents some people from running away if they owe money.

While Zhang Miao was sizing and observing, a Jindan-level guard also frowned at him. This man had a strange face, and he didn't go straight to the gambling table or exchange chips after he came in. He just looked around. Could this man be trying to cause trouble...

This is a practicing civilization, and gamblers often come to cause trouble after losing their bets. These gamblers lost nothing but their lives. They had no choice but to cause trouble, just to extort money and then try to overturn the gambling table.

He had seen many people like this, so he naturally paid attention to Zhang Miao.

So he walked up, stopped Zhang Miao and said, "Aren't you here to play? What are you looking around for?"

When Zhang Miao saw someone stopping him, he didn't panic. Instead, he smiled and said, "Your place is too small. I guess there won't be much profit."

The Jindan guard was stunned for a moment, and then said with a sinister smile: "The place is not big, and it is enough for you to play. Are you still worried that we can't afford the compensation?"

Zhang Miao shook his head and said, "Fools only gamble. I'm not here to win your money, I'm here to rob!"
