Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 75: Three Realms Sociology

Wait until General Yin wakes up again.

Tang Xuanci had already retrieved his bag and staff, and had carefully searched the three rooms and two halls. He was now sitting on a stone chair covered with deerskin.
Smoking the Yellow Crane Tower in Mr. Niu's room;
Drinking the daughter's red wine collected by Xiong Shanjun;
When Tang Xuanci found that General Yin, who was lying on the mat under his feet, had woken up, he took out a gun he had brought with him and handed it to him.

General Yin held the cigarette in his tiger's mouth, lit it with Tang Xuanci's cigarette butt, took a puff, bowed with difficulty and said:
"Thank you, holy monk, for the cigarette."

Tang Xuanci saw it taking the smoke into its lungs and then exhaling it with great skill, and he couldn't help but curse:
"Fuck, a monster is smoking~"

He picked up the cardboard-wrapped box of Yellow Crane Tower beside him and asked:

"Why haven't I heard of this cigarette?

"'The yellow crane has gone away, never to return; the white clouds drift in the sky for a thousand years.' They even printed Laozi's poems on it, and refused to pay the copyright fees.

"Where the hell did you steal that from?"

General Yin quickly explained:

"Holy monk, we didn't steal these. We collected them for trade, including the wine. They're all goods. We just kept a little for ourselves."

"Fuck, you monsters can do business? What kind of business?"

The reason why Tang Xuanci left a person alive was not only to preserve the food, but also to obtain "first-hand information" to lay a solid foundation for Shaobei to establish the new discipline of "Three Realms Sociology".

He began to interrogate while smoking a cigarette.

General Yin had a strong desire to survive and was willing to tell everything he knew. He quickly told them about their mundane monster life.

It turns out that the trade it refers to is to move the goods from the mortal world of the Tang Dynasty to Shuangchaling, or other areas further west where monsters gather, in order to make a profit from the difference.

This business reminded Tang Xuanci of his first career after fleeing from his homeland, which was working as a border water merchant in the Death Triangle area.

Simply put, it is to deliver food, drink, entertainment and supplies to criminals lurking in the deep mountains and forests, so that they can enjoy life without having to risk coming out.

The principle is the same. The reason for the price difference is that monsters can no longer brazenly come to the mortal world to enjoy themselves, especially in the prosperous cities of the Tang Dynasty where monsters are destroyed in seconds as soon as they appear.

And where there are huge profits, evil will inevitably breed.

The Heavenly Law prohibits demons and monks from messing around in the human world. Practitioners all want to get enough and good things, so naturally they will use any means.

You know, the things that monsters like are not limited to dead things like cigarettes and alcohol.

"So what do you spend your money on? I see you're pretty poor in this cave. You don't have anything you need."

Tang Xuanci quickly asked the question that Beaker wanted to know.

General Yin thought for a moment and replied:
"When we make money, we buy some elixirs that can make our cultivation more efficient, or we look for some wonderful methods of cultivation.

“Most of the rest was used to repay the monthly payment to the cave.

"We pooled our money to buy this cave, and only paid 30% of the price. The remaining 70% plus interest must be repaid monthly within 60 years.

“If we can’t pay it back, the cave will be taken back and we will be driven out of Shuangcha Ridge.

"Holy Monk, we are usually honest and upright. We offended you this time because we were forced to do so by life!"

Tang Xuanci was speechless and choked with emotion, feeling as if he had been in another world for a long time.

At this time, Beaker asked him to ask:

"Why do you want to stay in Double Fork Ridge so much? Can't you live somewhere else?"

General Yin was stunned for a moment, then replied:

“This is of course because Shuangcha Ridge has abundant spiritual energy.

"Practicing is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you will retreat." We are not very talented. Living in this cave where wind and energy are stored, we must concentrate on practicing for at least four or five hours every day to maintain our cultivation and longevity.

"If you are willing to practice diligently, your cultivation may improve day by day.

"But if we are driven to a place with thin spiritual energy, without the help of medicinal pills, I'm afraid even if we practice constantly, we will hardly make any progress."

Damn it?

Tang Xuanci thought so too.

Living is fighting against the law of increasing entropy. Cultivating immortality should be like training muscles:
If you get enough nutrition, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort and grow muscles quickly;
If you don’t get enough nutrition, you will get half the result with twice the effort and lose muscle.

However, it is obviously a billion times more difficult for this low-level monster to cultivate immortality than for him to use algorithms to train his muscles.

Practice for at least four or five hours every day, which is about nine hours, or sixty hours a week.

Wow, it’s almost time for work.

Moreover, this is on the premise that they can live in Shuangchaling, and they still have to make money for this.

Tang Xuanci couldn't help but ask:
“So, monsters like you who have no money or power must spend a lot of time practicing every day, otherwise you won’t be able to survive.

"Those monsters with strong backgrounds all live in treasured places with abundant spiritual energy and have access to all sorts of elixirs. They don't need to practice every day and have plenty of time to enjoy life.
"Right?"

General Yin was stunned again, as if he had never thought about this question carefully, and then... nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Fuck, this is so fucking realistic."

After complaining, Tang Xuanci asked a lot of questions.

Only when he saw Niu Chushi and Xiong Shanjun next to him completely transformed back into their original forms, a big grizzly bear and a big bison, did he end the conversation and stand up from the stone chair.

General Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he thought that his own value was completely gone. He immediately begged the holy monk to spare his life.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xuanci said, "Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, I will not kill you", and took off his trousers and chin.

Ah this?

General Yin's eyes trembled, and he thought, no way, what is he going to do?
I'm just a tiger, and I haven't even fully transformed.

Could it be that he is not a native Tang Dynasty holy monk, but a Tianzhu holy monk?
However, it soon discovered that it was a false alarm. Tang Xuanci ignored it and walked straight to the open kitchen.

But the next second, its pupils shrank again.

It was because Tang Xuanci pulled out a set of knives that were exquisitely packaged and gleaming with cold light from a load of luggage.

This set of knives is called "Seven Stars".

It is said that it was commissioned by a chef named Lei to be built by the master craftsman Luo Tian, ​​and has been kept in the Daxing Palace (the predecessor of the Taiji Palace) since the Sui Dynasty.

Later, Li Shimin ate the dishes made by Chen Xiaoke at a banquet and was amused by her. In addition, he was in a good mood because of his wealth from technology, so he gave her the Seven Star Sword.

Now it has fallen into the hands of Tang Xuanci.

That’s right, it is specially used to process food ingredients. It has seven handles in total, namely:
Large chopping knife, boning knife, boning knife, skinning knife, slicing knife, mulberry knife, carving knife.

I don't know what material it is made of, but it is extremely tough and sharp.

Tang Xuanci did not allow Chen Xiaoke to use it without supervision, for fear that she would accidentally amputate herself.

At the same time, I also feel that using the Seven-Star Knife to deal with ordinary birds and beasts is like using a machine gun to shoot rabbits - a waste of equipment.

And this set of swords is just right for dealing with monsters!
