Chapter 337 Strict Laws and Observations
As a visitor who sneaked into this world, Shi Xuan was not a child. How could he just sit in the car of a stranger he didn't know? So he said politely: "Thank you for your kindness, friend, but I'll walk into the city."
Even if his consciousness couldn't leave his body, Shi Xuan could tell from his eyes that the young man's physical strength was at the stage of nourishing qi, and he had not been tempered by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In other words, Shi Xuan could definitely beat dozens or hundreds of him with his physical strength. The only thing he needed to worry about was that Xu Zhenjun mentioned that this world was popular with magic and Taoism, and the tools were advanced.
The young man was rejected, but he didn't get angry. He took out a piece of food and put it in his mouth to chew, then said with a smile: "Friend, let's not beat around the bush. Just by your dress and your literary tone, everyone knows where you come from. Outside our Linyuan City, the most common people are people like you who want to sneak into my Daluo Empire to enjoy the good life. Otherwise, I, Xiao, wouldn't be making a living here."
Abyss survivors? It seems that when that great man unified the world, he only unified those places that were valuable. He didn't bother to care about some overseas deserted islands, remote villages, and underground abysses. Those people yearned for the prosperity of the Daluo Empire, so they often sneaked into the empire, and thus the business that this young man was engaged in came into being.
The reason why Xu Zhenjun placed the teleportation destination here was naturally because this was the easiest place to sneak into the Daluo Empire.
Seeing that Shi Xuan didn't say anything, the young man thought he was right and said proudly: "And my friend, you want to sneak into the city without changing your clothes. I bet that even if you get to the city, you will be immediately sent to the labor camp by the sheriff and dig spiritual mines for the rest of your life."
After secretly thinking about the cause and effect and the strength comparison, Shi Xuan thought that he had a magic weapon in his hand, and even if he met a Jindan Grandmaster, he would have a chance to escape without exposing the magic weapon, so he said lightly: "Then my friend, what can you do for me? How much do you need me to pay?"
"This is not a place to talk, get in the car, we will talk while walking." The young man looked around and saw that those racing drivers came back. He didn't care about being surprised at Shi Xuan's calmness and asked him to get in the car. After all, he was doing illegal business. If he was caught, he would have to go to the labor camp to dig spiritual mines for the rest of his life.
Shi Xuan jumped onto the light belt nimbly and got into the wheelless car. The young man stretched out his hand: "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Xiao Yang. May I know your name, friend?"
The formation under the car lit up under the drive of the spirit stone, and the car started slowly. Shi Xuan shook hands with the intention of shocking him: "I am Shi Xuan."
Xiao Yang frowned at the great strength, and then recalled Shi Xuan's action of jumping onto the light belt just now: "Brother Shi, do you have the strength of the Qi Induction Stage?"
"Yes." Shi Xuan nodded.
Xiao Yang turned his head and looked at Shi Xuan carefully: "Originally, it would cost ten high-grade spirit stones to supplement your identity documents and imperial household number, but if you help us do something, you can waive the spirit stones. We will also arrange the "casting level test" for you and get the green casting license. In this way, except for some specific occasions, you can normally exert your strength in the Qi-inducing period."
Shi Xuan suddenly felt so unreal. There were various level tests in his previous life. In this world, there is still a "casting level test". Could it be that Xu Zhenjun hopes to use the world similar to his previous life to let him find his obsession from the dislocation between the past and the present?
"Forget it, I just want to live a stable life." Although he had to experience more things according to Xu Zhenjun's instructions, this kind of thing that came without knowing the cause and effect was 99% dangerous.
Xiao Yang persuaded Shi Xuan a few more times, and seeing that Shi Xuan insisted on not agreeing, he had to say: "With those ten high-grade spirit stones, I will give you an identity document and an imperial household number. Especially the imperial household number, you will need it in the future for storing things, borrowing money, taking exams, working, studying, etc. Haha, to be frank, in our Daluo Empire, food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, aging, illness and death are all related to it. It is also convenient to track your whereabouts after committing any crime."
Shi Xuan said that he understood, and then Xiao Yang said: "The deposit for that high-grade spirit stone, the remaining nine will be given when you get the document and household number."
Shi Xuan still had more than 20 high-grade spirit stones on him, and he was not worried, so he gave one directly to Xiao Yang.
After Xiao Yang took it, he looked at it carefully and bit it with his teeth: "Well, it is indeed a good high-grade spirit stone. You, the survivors of the abyss, are still kind. Take a look at these jade slips first. They are all laws and decrees issued by the Senate. You will live under their regulations in the future." Xiao Yang's tone was bitter, as if he was still frightened by so many laws and decrees.
"Flight Control Regulations", "Management Regulations for the Five Major Spelling Prohibited Areas", "Imperial Defense Law", "Sheriff's Manual", "Punishment Measures for Intruders"... There are thousands of laws and regulations, which made Shi Xuan stunned again and again.
While Shi Xuan was looking through these laws and regulations, Xiao Yang's car had already entered Linyuan City. The city has a variety of architectural styles. There are high-rise buildings like Shi Xuan's in his previous life, as well as small courtyards, gardens, mansions, and some strange-shaped small houses floating in the air, which look bizarre.
It was still late at night, and the whole city was quiet. Only a few wheelless cars were running on the light belt. At this time, a tall, black car with an eagle painted on it drove over from the other side of the city.
"That's the sheriff's patrol car. Remember to stay away when you see it." Xiao Yang solemnly warned Shi Xuan.
Before Shi Xuan could answer, he saw the car stopped and two men in black clothes got out of it, one in his thirties and the other in his twenties. They stepped on a protrusion on the edge of the light strip, and a staircase extended from the light strip to the ground.
On the street, there was a drunk man going crazy. The two sheriffs walked over and tried to stop him.
But the drunk man was very strong and kept swinging wildly, making it impossible for the two sheriffs to get close. A few punches almost hit the sheriff in his twenties, making the seemingly immature sheriff very nervous.
After the drunk man got rid of the two sheriffs, he was about to take something out of his storage bag, which made the already nervous sheriff even more nervous. Suddenly, a blue light flew out from his hand and directly split the drunk man in half, and blood flowed all over the floor.
"I, I don't want to." The young sheriff looked at the older one in fear.
The older one said with a heavy face: "Don't worry, he had the intention to attack first. What you did is completely in line with the "Sheriff's Manual". When the time comes, just call up the surveillance footage here and write a document."
The young sheriff looked at the broken bottle in the drunk's hand, took two deep breaths, and nodded silently.
"See? As long as there is any sign of attack, the sheriff can cast spells and use magic weapons to kill the target without restriction, so remember to stay away when you meet them next time." Xiao Yang said indifferently, "But it's not their fault. Who knows whether those guys will take out the bottle to drink or use magic weapons to attack. If you don't take the initiative, you will be in trouble."
Shi Xuan naturally didn't express his opinion. It was the right thing to do to read the law quickly.
After entering the city, Xiao Yang drove very slowly. After turning a few streets, when it was dawn, he arrived at a small courtyard in the middle of a busy city.
After getting off the car and pushing open the door, there was no one inside. Xiao Yang smiled and explained to Shi Xuan: "Those survivors who are waiting for their identity documents or the criminals who have committed major crimes have made an appointment to come here. No one wants to be seen here by others."
Shi Xuan saw that the courtyard was arranged very roughly and only basic warning formations could be seen. He followed Xiao Yang into an empty and quiet room.
"Brother Shi, I need to borrow your breath for a while." Xiao Yang said it first to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding.
Shi Xuan was very confident in the suppression of the Tai Chi diagram, and these guys didn't seem to have magic weapons, so he nodded and let Xiao Yang absorb a trace of breath.
Watching Xiao Yang seal the breath into a jade slip and then leave, Shi Xuan stood at the door of the quiet room waiting.
…………
In another part of the yard, Xiao Yang was discussing with a man with deep wrinkles on his face, but most of his face was covered by a tall hat.
"Is this the breath of the survivor? Should we kill him directly? Otherwise, it will be troublesome and costly to clear the joints and steal the account number." The man made a killing gesture.
Xiao Yang shook his head: "He is in the Qi-inducing stage. Even if he can't cast spells, he can kill you and me with his physical body. Besides, even if we gather experts, it will be quite troublesome to kill him. If it gets out of hand, it will be bad for the organization."
The man said with regret: "It's a pity that the experts in the organization are unwilling to come to our remote city, otherwise a master in the Soul-in-the-Heart stage can easily take him down. Alas, it's a pity to let go of such a fat sheep."
Xiao Yang laughed and said: "I exaggerated the price five times. The remaining four pieces will be divided equally between you and me, which is better than asking a master in the Soul-in-the-Heart stage to come and give him the bulk of the money."
"Ha, I can't tell. You actually raised the price of a top-grade spirit stone to five pieces. You are really cruel, but I like it." The man took the jade slip that sealed Shi Xuan's aura and a top-grade spirit stone and went out happily.
Xiao Yang returned to the quiet room and sat with Shi Xuan, and talked about some common sense of the Daluo Empire. For example, the power of the entire empire was in the hands of Emperor Honglie, but he had not heard of worldly affairs for a long time, and there was no heir still alive, so the power was divided into two parts, held by the Senate composed of aristocratic families and the left prince "Weiyu Venerable" Ao Tingtao.
"Speaking of which, Xiao went to the imperial capital for a few days last month, but he really had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the imperial capital. On the day he came back, there was a thunderstorm in the imperial capital, which was really something Xiao had never seen in his life." Seeing that Shi Xuan was listening with relish, Xiao Yang also talked about his experience in the imperial capital.
Shi Xuan was naturally willing to listen to these things, so he echoed Xiao Yang's words and got a clear understanding of some basic common sense.
After an hour, Xiao Yang suddenly smiled and said, "It's done. Xiao will go and get it for you, brother Shi."
