Chapter 716: Senses
"Zhou Botou, the only rule in the city is that there are no rules. Even if you kill people in the street, as long as you can afford enough fines, you can kill them.
You may meet face-to-face with evil monks and the like on the street. Don't look, don't talk too much, just keep your head down and look at the road. Don't run around at night, don't go shopping if you have nothing to do."
According to the introduction of the old man who has been in the city for many years, the city of the dead can no longer be described as chaos. Disorder is the norm here. No one cares about your good and evil, and there are no rules to follow. As long as you boast that you are strong enough, You can do anything here.
If anyone insists on who is in charge, it is an order issued by the "Three Kui Yuan" in the city in vain.
The Sankuiyuan is similar to the management yamen in the city of Wushi, but it is very loose, and when there is almost no joint effort, everything from the city defense to the maintenance of the city is very chaotic.
For example, after killing people in the street, you need to pay a high fine to the Sankuiyuan, usually in gold or spirit stones. If you can’t pay, you will be arrested and sent to the underground palace to explore or mine, and you will either die of exhaustion or die in various underground palaces. in danger. Anyway, it ended badly.
It is true to say that you can do whatever you want if you have money in the City of Death, but there is an essential difference between the "rich" here and the rich in other places. Let's take Hengshun Car and Horse Company as an example. It's a pretty big business, right? But in the city of death, he really didn't dare to mess around. As far as Liu Hengyi's family property is concerned, he can probably lose it three or five times. What's more, generally speaking, gold and spirit stones are recognized here, and banknotes and silver are not so easy to use here.
Apart from the chaos here, other aspects are not too difficult. For example, the caravan station is a relatively safe place, under the protection of the Sankuiyuan, outside monks are not allowed to come and make trouble, otherwise the Sankuiyuan will directly intervene .
And the so-called Sankuiyuan is just a collective name for the biggest forces in the three dead cities. Basically equal to the earth emperor here.
After entering the city, Tan Bin found that the streets inside and the houses on both sides were actually similar to those in Jingjiu Dynasty, except that occasionally there would be a few buildings with different styles that would be an eyesore, obviously built by foreigners.
And there are many shops on the street, from small pancake stalls, to magic weapon shops, to slave shops, there are everything here. Many things that were illegally prohibited or specially sold in Jingjiu Dynasty are sold here. As for the price, it depends on what you think.
Tan Bin noticed that even in the shop, many of the jobs were monks, because the dharma plate next to his body was always vibrating slightly, reminding him that there were almost all monks around him.
"Currently, all the former land transport convoys of Tianyi Company have changed their flags. There are a total of more than 300 people stationed in the city of Wushi. After the rotation increase, it is now more than 400. When you come, there will be a group of brothers who can take turns."
Tan Bin also listened carefully to normal affairs. As a leader, the first thing he had to smooth out was the work in his hand, so that he could look like a leader of the team without being caught by someone who cared.
Regarding the task, Tan Bin had already made arrangements on the way here. And according to some guidance from the Fourth Ministry, the people below will immediately start intelligence collection, starting with the aspects that can be reached by the car and horse dealers, and then slowly explore the depths.
It was not until the evening that Tan Bin finished handling the matter in hand, and then met with the little bosses of the spies under his command and had a brief chat.
At least from the news that came back, Tan Bin is very confident. It was a surprise for Tan Bin because the Tianyi Company had completely evacuated the land transportation personnel here. Because many of the vacant manpower were filled by Blackwater spies, it directly saved a lot of infiltration effort.
And Tan Bin also got an interesting feedback, that is, the convoy responsible for transporting supplies from Jingjiu Dynasty, such as Hengshun Chariots and Horses, is actually very popular in Wushi City, because even monks can't always eat pills Overeating? Food and wine are always to be enjoyed, and even the robes need to be transported by convoy. Whoever has a good relationship with the car and horse dealers can always get some benefits and convenience.
Therefore, Tan Bin feels that there is still a lot of room for action here, but the scale still needs to be explored slowly.
Looking up again, the huge tower that is faintly visible above the head is still so mysterious. Taking a deep breath, Tan Bin re-entered his role. He hoped to figure out his first mission here as soon as possible.
For the next few days, nothing happened. It wasn't until Tan Bin had personal contact with a big passenger of the motorcade that he had a breakthrough.
This big guest is a monk at the initial stage of Qi Refining Realm, and his cultivation level is not much different from that of ordinary people in the City of Death. But this person's identity is not ordinary, he is the handyman of the Bloody Clothes Sect in the Sankui Courtyard in the City of Death.
It is said to be a deacon, but it is actually an errand runner, but it is easier to handle external affairs with the status of a "deacon", and few people dare to neglect with the face of the Bloody Clothes Sect.
But who is Tan Bin? As a gold medal agent, that mouth is specially used to strike up a conversation with people. The first time I came into contact with a few words, I was able to coax the blood-clothed deacon who was glaring at people with his nostrils into laughter, and even patted Tan Bin on the shoulder and said that he would have a drink or a chat with him.
Tan Bin naturally agreed. He asked the other party to choose a restaurant he was used to, and asked for a room, and then Tan Bin sent three jars of Wuliangye brewed for one year from the motorcade.
"Wuliangye?! Zhou Botou, you've spent a lot of money!"
"Haha, Deacon Zhang, you're being polite. It's just wine. It's for drinking. If Deacon Zhang likes it, I'll ask someone to bring you some next time I go back."
"Ouch! Thanks a lot then!"
"Where, where."
Good wine opened the way, and then Tan Bin's words slowly progressed with the atmosphere of the banquet. After everyone had finished drinking a jar of wine, Tan Bin saw that the atmosphere was getting better, so he said, "Deacon Zhang, brother, I'm just here, and I heard that the alchemy masters in the city of death are the highest and can't be offended, as well as those array masters and talisman masters. Can you give me some advice?" Brother, two sentences so that brother will not get into trouble in the future and lose his life."
"Alchemy masters are popular everywhere, and it's the same in the city of vain death. But you can't see them with a sports car, so don't worry. The same is true for formation masters. You can't see the powerful ones, and you can't talk about provoking them if you see them. .Anyway, you can stay at your station, and no one else will come in."
After a pause, the deacon surnamed Zhang continued, "As for the talisman master, that's a big deal? Who can't draw talismans with a little practice now? Who can be called a talisman master?" There are very few. But where did you hear this messy news? It's unreliable!"
"Ah? Is that so? Hey, it seems that the gossip is hard to hear. I haven't heard of a talisman master before, and I thought it was very powerful, but after you said that, I realized that it wasn't the case."
After drinking a few more cups, the deacon surnamed Zhang smiled and said, "Actually, the talisman masters are not bad, and we really have two very powerful talisman masters in our Bloody Clothes Sect!"
