I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

The mountain path is secluded, the mountain forest is lush.

The Great Tang Xian Dynasty is now in chaos, like a pot of porridge. On the commercial road, however, there is an air of tranquility, especially on the rugged roads where few people tread.

This indicates that the circulation of goods in the Great Tang Xian Dynasty has been affected by the war, which is not a good thing for the ordinary people.

Chu Shen gently pats the donkey under his crotch, urging it to go faster, wanting to leave this hair-raising silence as soon as possible.

It's not that he can't afford horses or riding beasts, but in times of war, all kinds of large livestock have been requisitioned by various parties. Without connections, it's impossible to buy them on the market.

It's just that this donkey seems to know its own value now. It refuses to move forward, instead going backwards, dragging its feet and causing trouble along the way. It has become quite skilled at being a nuisance without any instruction. It has caused Chu Shen a lot of trouble on the journey.

"Little Bie San, oh Little Bie San, don't cause me any more trouble. Hurry up and take me to a safe place. If we make it in time, hehe, when they skin you and make donkey-hide gelatin, don't blame me for warning you in advance!"

An annoyed Chu Shen has given the donkey the nickname "Little Bie San," showing his deep affection for it.

However, he really can't do without it.

With the outbreak of war, the entire southern region of the Great Tang Xian Dynasty has entered a state of military control. It's not a big deal for others, but for practitioners, it's a headache that all the earth pulse instruments in each city have been activated.

Not only have techniques and spells involving spatial escape been banned, even the spiritual veins have become less stable. It has become difficult to quietly absorb spiritual energy to replenish consumption. They can only rely on spiritual stones, spiritual crystals, and spiritual jade, these condensed forms of spiritual energy.

Among the practitioners who are used to flying high and low, there are quite a few poor ones. How can they bear to use precious spiritual stones and the like in this way?

Suddenly, there are fewer practitioners flying around in the sky.

Furthermore, under military control, if one wants to fly around, they have to pass through the official channels of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty or the rebel forces. But Chu Shen's identity is sensitive, would he dare to show himself casually?

Isn't it the case that he can only rely on "Little Skinny" to disguise himself as a passerby on the road?

"Little Skinny" is taking advantage of the seller's market and becoming more and more arrogant, haggling with Chu Shen in a proud manner.

Chu Shen could only reluctantly take out a thick stem-like spiritual material that looked like ginseng and stuff it into this person's mouth.

It's not really an extraordinary expensive item, just a relatively common low-grade spiritual material. But compared to ordinary grass and the like, this is definitely a step up in terms of grade and quality.

Little Skinny happily ate it all up, licking his lips and burping after swallowing the whole stem, just like a drunkard who had had too much to drink, stumbling forward.

Unfortunately, this person seems to have some spiritual intelligence. Along the way, he ate quite a few spiritual materials from Chu Shen, which can be considered a stroke of luck. Although his steps are a bit unsteady, his stride is large. With each step, he walks more than ten meters. He has definitely become more refined and even gained some Divine Ability.

This is also the reason why Chu Shen is willing to feed it and also loves and hates it. A donkey with potential is no longer an ordinary donkey.

After running for a while, Little Skinny has already crossed mountains and brought Chu Shen out of the mountain path. After descending from this mountain, he sees ten wide and spacious main roads.

Those are official roads, the most important transportation lifelines of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty. However, upon closer inspection, one can see that this road is full of potholes and is not smooth at all. The hardening spell on the road surface has long lost its effect, and there is no one coming to repair it. It is just like the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty, gradually decaying.

"Fortunately, I'm riding a donkey and not sitting in a carriage."

Chu Shen sees Little Skinny walking on the official road, taking one step higher and one step lower, and gains a deeper understanding of the decadence of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty.

However, this is not the limit of the country's decline.

The small and skinny person was driven forward for a while, and from a distance, they could see a two-story small building with a thatched roof poking by the side of the official road.

It's not strange to have official post stations and inns by the side of the official road; every country has them. These shops, which provide temporary lodging for travelers on the official road, are all state-owned. Apart from being a bit expensive and having slightly worse service, they are still acceptable.

However, this location is not where those state-owned post stations and inns are set up. The one standing here can only be a privately-owned wild shop. To be able to build to this scale, it can be said that there is a local protective umbrella behind it, daring to dig into the imperial court's corner.

Seeing the subtle signs, the Great Tang Xian Dynasty has long been plagued by various diseases. Countless tentacles are desperately sucking blood in the open and in the dark, causing this behemoth to gradually become emaciated and chaotic everywhere. Without capable people who can make drastic changes to the current situation, the only difference is whether it dies early or late.

Just thinking about Emperor Chongling's current situation in the court of the Great Tang Xian Dynasty...

Chu Shen shook his head, feeling that it would be easier to establish a new dynasty. Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why the Taiping Sect, as one of the sects of the Great Yan Xian Dynasty, can cause such a stir in the Great Tang Xian Dynasty. It is because this country has already rotted to its core.

"A wild shop is just a wild shop. Let's stay for a night and continue tomorrow."

...Seeking flowers...

He looked up at the sun, which was gradually leaning westward. Although he was in a hurry to reach the area where the unopened Earth Pulse Instrument was, he was not in a rush.

However, as the small and skinny person approached, he noticed something wrong with this wild shop.

Although it looked simple but clean on the surface, even the signboard was polished and shiny. The wooden signboard had a layer of patina, making it look like this wild shop had been around for a long time, an old shop.

But in Chu Shen's spiritual perception, he could "smell" a strong and lingering smell of blood and corpse odor that couldn't dissipate. It was not a physical smell, but it made him feel more suffocating than a physical smell.

Especially, he seemed to see many faint resentful spirits entwined around this wild shop, their silent wailing and anger making one dizzy and nauseous, with a feeling of wanting to vomit.

This is a reaction caused by his special constitution, the Innate Exorcism Spirit Body. This constitution makes him extremely sensitive to such anomalies.

"Is it not just a wild shop, but also a shady one?"

Chu Shen suppressed the discomfort in his spiritual perception and dulled his ability to sense certain special situations in the outside world. Nevertheless, he still knocked on the door.

He didn't want to get involved, but when he saw a fresh and somewhat familiar ghost among the unjust souls, he couldn't help but enter.

"Guest, are you here to stay? Please come in quickly!"

Upon hearing his knocking, a waiter quickly ran over and opened the door. When he saw that Chu Shen was alone, his eyes lit up, and his face, which already had a cunning expression, became as foolish as a fox that had stolen a chicken.

Chu Shen sneered. It seemed that the other party saw him as an easy target.

Without saying a word, he nodded and led the waiter into the courtyard.

The waiter tried to pull the stubborn donkey inside, but it resisted and refused to enter.

Animal perception is more wild, and it is said that they can see and hear certain external information that humans cannot. Moreover, this donkey seemed to have become somewhat spiritual, so its perception was even higher. It sensed that this inn was not clean and resisted entering, which was not surprising.

However, Chu Shen didn't indulge it this time. He handed its reins to the waiter and said, "Take it to the livestock shed and feed it some high-quality feed to improve its spirits."

The waiter, who was exerting a lot of strength to pull the stubborn donkey, was pleasantly surprised. "Rest assured, we will take good care of it."

This donkey is definitely not an ordinary animal. This deal will make a big profit!

Chu Shen smiled and ignored the struggle between the stubborn donkey and the waiter. He walked into the lobby of the inn on his own.
