The methods of the Taoist sect include martial cultivation and Shintoism, both of which have natural restraint against evil things. That's why Zhang Yan determined that there were evil spirits in Xuanhua City on the mass grave and prepared to save them without even thinking.
In exchange for the merits from the Desolate Heaven Realm.
Zhang Yan is eating Li Gui as his meal.
However, if the rice is too hard, you will inevitably hurt yourself if you don’t have a good mouth.
There are many cases where the monsters are fine but kill themselves in the end. Zhang Yan is no exception and has to face the counterattack of evil spirits and even get injured.
Of course, Zhang Yan is still confident of saving his life. Even if he can't be beaten, he can run away, and he is confident that his life will not be killed by a mere ghost.
Now Zhang Yan's problem is not only how to prevent himself from being injured, but also trying not to let the other party escape. Otherwise, wouldn't all his efforts in Xuanhua City today be in vain?
Putting aside his thoughts, Zhang Yan continued to ask the one-armed man on the ground: "Where will Ma Datou and the others go during the day?"
"It's not very clear. He should be wandering around."
"Wandering? Are you going to the job recruitment office in the south of the city?" Zhang Yan added. The "job recruitment office" he mentioned was a place jointly established by the Refugee Hall and the North City Commercial Bank to facilitate the refugees to find work. The two people from the Refugee Hall told
Zhang Yan said that most refugees would gather there and look for suitable opportunities to make money.
However, the one-armed man obviously sneered at the "recruitment office" mentioned by Zhang Yan.
"The jobs offered by the recruitment office are either jobs like the one I do, which can only be done by shameless people. Or they are hard labor jobs that the bones of refugees can't bear. Or they are jobs with some skills, such as paper-making, tailoring, etc. You
What kind of work do you think Ma Datou and the others can find there?
In fact, many of the refugees are old and weak, they may not be able to do the work, they may not be good at physical work, and they may not know any crafts, so their life is difficult.”
"If you don't go to the recruitment office, where can you hang out?"
The one-armed man thought for a while and said uncertainly: "If I have to find a place, it would be over there on Yuhua Street where I can get some benefits."
"How to say?"
"There are a lot of fancy houses on Yuhua Street, and there are also stalls selling money. People who come and go are very interested in one thing. As long as you keep an eye on it, you can make a lot of loose money by saying "Uncle, you will be lucky today". Although this matter
There aren't many, and you can easily get beaten if you don't target them accurately, but the money comes quickly and effortlessly. I talked to Ma Datou and the others about this, and they also said they wanted to try their luck. Even Zhao Hou'er succeeded once
Come back. I think they would probably go there if they were wandering around, but they wouldn’t go there early, probably after noon.”
Having said so much, the one-armed man has told everything he knows. But unfortunately, he does not know the identities of Ma Datou and the other three, their past and other relatively private things. They are just some superficial impressions of being fellow refugees.
understanding.
Zhang Yan said goodbye to the one-armed man with a smile, and while following the path pointed by him, he decided to go to the recruitment office in the north of the city to see the job first. It was still too early to rush over to Yuhua Street anyway.
The journey from the east of the city to the south of the city allowed Zhang Yan to take a good look at the various features of Xuanhua City.
To be honest, Xuanhua City is full of surprises for Zhang Yan. It is completely different from the backward city he imagined when he was in Yubei Mountain.
There is not only a wide main street that can accommodate two large cars walking side by side and people passing by, but also a dazzling array of shops. The streets are bustling with people and look prosperous.
The largest shop he has seen on the road so far is a shop called "Yuan Pharmacy". It has eight doors and two floors. The people who come in and out are all warriors, and there are even some with advanced cultivation. The aura
It reminded Zhang Yan of a Tongqiao realm warrior like Lin Zedong.
Next is the shop that sells weapons, which is also very large. Although Zhang Yan did not go in, he looked from the door and saw that the weapons displayed inside were complete. In addition to ordinary long and short swords, there were also many strange weapons.
.However, there are no long-handled weapons such as spears, and there seems to be no crossbows.
In addition, Zhang Yan also passed by a special place, the "Xuanhua City Military Academy" where the gate was heavily guarded and even the guards were warriors.
Along the way, Zhang Yan had actually been to the south side of the city. He came in through the south gate for the first time before entering the city, so he had some impressions of this place.
It was relatively easy to find the recruitment office by following the one-armed man. It was in the middle of a place called "Tiaoshi Street" near the city gate in the north of the city.
However, no clues were found here that Zhang Yan was looking for.
Compared with the Refugee Hall, this recruitment office is obviously much busier. All the people coming and going are hurried figures of all kinds. Not only the refugees come here, but most of the people who come here are not refugees. After all, compared to Xuanhua
The refugees only account for a negligible part of the city's labor demand.
After staying at the recruitment office for about half an hour, Zhang Yan found nothing. But there was an episode. Several people who were said to be the managers of Hualou came to Zhang Yan and asked him if he wanted to go to Hualou to be a male advocate, specifically looking for money from those lonely rich women.
With his handsome appearance and strong figure, he is bound to be very popular. He will become famous in the southwest in the future, just like that...
After Zhang Yan fled the harassment in the recruitment office, he went to Yuhua Street in the north of the city. The prosperity here once again made his eyes widen a little. At the same time, he could feel the aroma of rouge and gouache spreading around him.
He couldn't help but feel shaken.
Not all Taoist sects are abstinent, but Longhushan is one that is not abstinent. When he was on earth, although Zhang Yan was not as handsome and strong as he is now, he still had good facial features, so he would naturally not be unable to find women.
.But he has always restrained his desires and rarely indulges them.
However, being in an environment like Yuhua Street and having two years of military career, he would also have thoughts about it.
But business was important, so Zhang Yan quickly gathered his energy and carefully observed the route, hoping to find new progress.
"It really does."
Not far from the street entrance, Zhang Yan saw a lot of people picking people to "send blessings" as the one-armed man said. Usually three or two would work together, either to be nice or to annoy people.
When they arrive, they will choose to spend a small amount of money to get rid of it. In fact, there don’t seem to be many homeless people among those who do this kind of business.
Should he find someone to ask if he knows the situation of Ma Datou and the three of them as he did before? Zhang Yan was thinking about this in his mind.
But suddenly he stopped when passing by an inconspicuous alley. An unusual yin energy overflowed from the alley, which caught his attention.
I turned around and looked into the alley. It was already dark, so I couldn't see clearly. I only saw that the alley was quite deep.
Looking around, Zhang Yan found a few beggars huddled together across the street. Judging from the way they looked at ease here, they must have been begging for more than a day or two. So he walked over.
