"I'm doing it for your own good. This road is too difficult for you!"
"I'd rather take this route than to be in constant fear!"
With the help of ropes, he climbed down the mountain and traveled through several dense forest trails. In just one day, Zhang Xuezhou had already seen the lights in the distance.
This is a rare sight for Zhang Xuezhou.
In Zhangjiazhuang, people sleep as soon as it gets close to night, and during special hunting seasons, a bunch of bonfires are lit for sacrificial activities. There has never been such a sight of lights hanging high.
"Is this Rongcheng?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
As he continued to get closer, Zhang Xuezhou saw the city tower under the lights.
The city wall of Rongcheng is more than 20 meters high, but Zhang Zhong mentioned that the city wall of Rongcheng is not very strong. The walls far away from the border gates are at least fifty meters high, and those are the majestic gates.
On the city tower, dozens of red-armored soldiers were constantly patrolling with extreme vigilance, and there were sergeants below the city tower who kept urging them.
It was almost dusk at this time, but still within the rules for entering the city.
The lights hanging on the top of the city tower are meant to urge and warn. Once the hanging lanterns are taken down, it means that the city gate must be closed, and no one will be allowed to pass except under special circumstances.
Zhang Xuezhou and others arrived at Chengdu very late, but they could barely make it in time for the final entry into the city.
People coming in and out of the city gate are very frequent, and they probably like to get stuck. Many vendors selling agricultural products come out from time to time.
"This is Rongcheng." Zhang Zhong nodded and said: "The housing prices in this city are extremely high, and many things in life can only be purchased with money. Without a steady stream of money, it will be difficult for us to live in the city."
Zhang Zhong pointed at the many vendors.
These hawkers who are constantly on the go are a group that cannot live in the city.
Not only because of the city’s housing prices, but also because living in the city requires constant effort.
There are no wild boars that can be hunted in Chengdu, and there is no fertile land for farming. Everything is supported by the continuous purchase and sale of major grain merchants.
If you want to live in the city, you need a lot more than just a house...
This was a place where it was difficult for Zhang Zhong to adapt and survive. When he saw the familiar city again, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. When responding to Zhang Xuezhou's question, he couldn't help but mention the life in the city.
“It’s so hard to make money!”
Zhang Xuezhou nodded with concern.
Not to mention Zhang Zhong's encounter with a penny stumping a heroic man, Zhang Xuezhou also suffered from it, Zhang Weimeng, Song Fengying, Zhang Manqian and others were all no exception, and all suffered from financial problems.
No matter how talented you are in cultivation, or what martial arts, painting or other talents you are good at, if you don’t have the ability to convert your talents into money, you will still have no money when you should be short of money.
At this point, there is no difference between reality and the dream world.
Zhang Xuezhou had to lament that he was thinking about things every day and dreaming about them at night. Through Zhang Zhong's words, Zhang Zhong said all the things he had been thinking about in his heart every day.
Seeing the dejected look on Zhang Zhong's face, and his lack of energy to control the situation at Jiuchi Taoist Temple, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but sigh a little.
"Taoist Master Jiu Chi said that the Body Fragrance Pill is very valuable, how about we sell one to get some money?" Zhang Xuezhou suggested in a low voice.
He entered the city against the direction of the crowd, and kept pushing away various baskets of objects that bumped into him.
Thinking about the relationship, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but use his brain to think of ways to make money.
The price of life in Chengdu was high. Even if he sought refuge with his aunt, he would not be able to earn a living there. He would have to pay to live a stable life.
Reckless intrusion will definitely disrupt the other person's life. A short stay is okay, but a long stay will definitely cause conflicts.
Zhang Xuezhou also needs to consider finding a place to teach to supplement relevant knowledge and fill in the shortcomings of Zhangjiazhuang's studies.
Funding sources are indispensable for everything.
After Zhang Zhong and Yourong settled Zhang Xuezhou, they would most likely leave, either to seek elixirs for entry, or to track down the whereabouts of everyone in Zhangjiazhuang. It would be difficult to provide long-term assistance to him, let alone provide a source of funds.
Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel that the dream world was following the footsteps of real life, and he even lacked the possibility of remote payment to supplement his living expenses.
"Who are you selling to? How to explain the source? How to ensure the properties of the medicine?"
Zhang Zhong asked a few questions casually, and Zhang Xuezhou realized that even if he had the gold mountain in hand, he still had to be able to sell it.
If strength and status do not match, everything will be impossible.
Even if they possess a rare elixir, they cannot sell it, and pawnshops will not accept such elixirs from unknown sources.
"Your aunt's family is well-off, so raising you for a year or two shouldn't be a problem." Yourong smiled forcefully and said, "We'll just pick you up when we come back!"
"We will go back as soon as possible." Zhang Zhong nodded and said: "Maybe it won't take long, we may find relevant clues in ten and a half months!"
"Don't cause any trouble in Rongcheng," Mrs. Yourong warned.
"I'm at peace!"
Zhang Xuezhou patted his chest in assurance.
His words are still very credible. After all, Zhang Xuezhou's schedule has been very regular for more than ten years. He rarely causes trouble and cannot go out during trouble-prone times. He can't cause trouble even if he wants to.
Mrs. Yourong nodded repeatedly after hearing the promise.
Except for Zhang Xuezhou being a bit weak, there is nothing wrong with him in other aspects.
During this period, Zhang Xuezhou's weaknesses were fully supplemented.
Zhang Xuezhou is now physically strong, no different from many sons of Orion, and his strength is likely to surpass that of many delicate and aristocratic young people in the city.
Even Zhang Xuezhou is a monk who has entered the country.
Although Zhang Xuezhou is of no use in entering the country, with such a title, Zhang Xuezhou can be regarded as a rare genius among young people.
You Rong only regrets that Zhang Xuezhou was not born into a wealthy family, otherwise his achievements would never end there.
She was thinking about various connections, and countless thoughts kept floating through her mind.
As she got closer to where her sister was, her heart became more complicated and her steps seemed slower.
She never regretted marrying Zhang Zhong, but compared with her sister's city life and thinking about Zhang Xuezhou living under someone else's roof, she had too many thoughts in her heart.
"Zhou'er is so outstanding, what is there that you can't hold your head up to?"
Zhang Xuezhou stared at various places in Chengdu with wide eyes, contemplating various plans to make money. When Zhang Zhong was worried, he also found the Yourong family who was also worried.
He thought for a few seconds and understood all the details.
This made Zhang Zhong speak up.
He pointed at Zhang Xuezhou who was walking in front of him.
"You should be proud, and you should hold your chest high. We are not weaker than others, and we are going to give it a try to see if we can find a way to reach the sky!"
Zhang Zhong's voice was very low, which undoubtedly had a huge reverberation in Mr. Yourong's ears.
The old man has great ambitions. Zhang Zhong is getting older, but his dream in his youth has not changed.
In the past, Zhang Zhong lacked a lot, but now, Zhang Zhong only lacked the Qi and Blood Pills that a warrior could forcefully enter.
As long as what he said is true, Zhang Zhong's lifelong efforts will never stop at entry.
Only when they go far can their sons follow suit and even go further.
Zhang Zhong kept the excess deodorant pills and would not exchange them for money. Instead, he would look for black market means to digest them until he could get the Qi and Blood Pills he needed.
This is the correct way to use deodorant.
As for the aura of the Ten Yin Holy Sons in his body, Zhang Zhong can no longer control that much.
For him, there is not much difference between covering up his skin with deodorant for half a year and covering it up for a year.
If he and the Yourong family forcefully enter the country, there is a high probability that they will be able to eliminate the aura of the Shiyin Holy Son, and there is a high probability that they will be able to cut off the related follow-up.
And this will also allow them to truly have the original capital to step into another class. This chapter has been completed!
