2849 Visitors from a foreign land _1
As the sound of hooves rang out, a large caravan slowly appeared.
The carriage was pulled by a kind of giant bull with many legs. It was nearly five meters long and had thick long hair on the surface of its body.
There were rows of bronze bells on its two curved horns. As it walked, it let out a series of crisp sounds.
The bell wasn’t just a decoration, it also had the effect of intimidating and calming the soul. The giant bull would become very docile after hearing the bell.
Otherwise, once it went crazy, no one would be able to suppress such a giant bull, and it was likely to cause irreparable losses.
The equipment on the giant bull was also made of bronze and had an ancient golden-red color.
The long carriages being dragged by the giant Bulls were about two meters tall. They were connected to each other and were filled with packaged goods.
The specially made wheels were arranged in a row and rolled forward at the same time, giving off a rhythmic friction sound.
This was the standard arrangement of a caravan. There were giant Bulls, long carriages, and members of the caravan who were walking.
They walked along the nine-foot official road to the city gate and entered the city at the last moment before night fell.
The heavy sound of the door closing was heard. The Golden runes began to shine because of the arrival of night, completely blocking the darkness and evil outside the door.
Faintly, one could hear a burst of cold laughter and indignant roars in the darkness.
The city was brightly lit, and it was another world.
If one were to look down from the sky, they would find that the city was like an isolated island in the sea, surrounded by endless darkness.
The auras of the people gathered together and were guided out by a special array, forming an energy barrier to protect the city.
Negative energy like evil spirits and ghosts could not pa.s.s through the protective shield condensed by Yang Qi. Otherwise, they would be like snowflakes falling into boiling water, turning into nothingness in an instant.
Ordinary people couldn’t see this scene, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to sleep and eat in peace. They were just running around to make a living, living simple and boring days, constantly consuming their short lives.
The caravans that entered the city stopped and hired workers to unload and count the goods. It was also time for the individual pa.s.sengers to leave.
Tang Zhen tidied his clothes, carried his bag on his back, and slowly advanced along the street that was tamped with yellow soil.
Most of the residents on the roadside closed their doors with heavy bolts. Only the light and voices behind the windows indicated that there were people in the house.
When they heard footsteps on the road, the people in the house would subconsciously lower their voices and then listen to the movements outside.
It gave people the feeling that they were like a nest of rabbits, living very carefully.
Tang Zhen’s current appearance was like a foreigner who was busy making a living. He did not have the slightest appearance of a cultivator.
This was the result he wanted. He wanted to return to his original state as much as possible and throw away anything related to G.o.ds.
This was the only way he could shield himself from the enemy’s detection and lock-on, buying him more time to recuperate.
As for the other benefit, it was that he could get rid of the divinity in his body, so that he would not become a cold and heartless stone.
Tang Zhen felt his entire body relax the moment he made his decision. It was as if he had experienced the feeling of being a human again after going through countless reincarnations.
Even though they were lowly, they had determination and faith in their hearts. They would use their entire lives and efforts to accomplish what a G.o.d could do with a single thought.
As expected, life was a cultivation.
After walking along the street for a while, they finally arrived at a lively place. This was a night market that was officially allowed to be opened.
He found a noodle stall by the roadside and ordered a bowl of noodles covered in chopped vegetables. His stomach was rumbling with hunger after filling up.
At this moment, Tang Zhen only had a mortal body and not the body of a G.o.d condensed from Origin Energy.
He would feel hungry, tired, injured, and bleed in pain.
After finishing a large bowl of noodles, Tang Zhen looked around and walked to a shop by the roadside.
There were four people in the shop, playing with wooden cards under the oil lamp. After seeing Tang Zhen come in, a man with a short beard stood up to welcome him.
I want to buy a house. I can rent it too. Is there any suitable place? ”
Tang Zhen explained his purpose for coming. The short-bearded man nodded his head. At the same time, he secretly judged Tang Zhen’s background.
“What price do you want, what special requirements do you have, and do you have the corresponding proof on you?”
The short-bearded man and Tang Zhen started to talk and quickly recommended a house that had been vacant for many years.
After obtaining Tang Zhen’s agreement, the short-bearded man led the way and headed straight for the house.
The three people in the room were whispering to each other, saying that the short-bearded man was cunning enough to sell his haunted house to a foreigner.
Tang Zhen was unaware of the discussions of those people. He merely looked at the house in front of him and nodded his head in satisfaction.
The house was big enough, the yard was s.p.a.cious enough, and there was a blacksmith shop in front.
Even though there was Yin Qi hidden within and it was disadvantageous to ordinary people, it would not affect Tang Zhen at all.
The short-bearded man tried to flatter Tang Zhen and wanted to complete the transaction. However, he didn’t know that Tang Zhen had already seen through his tricks.
This short-bearded man’s thoughts were not right. Perhaps it would not be long before he would be imprisoned.
Even if he didn’t die, he would at least be skinned.
It was definitely not a curse from Tang Zhen, but an accurate conclusion that was obtained by observing his expression.
setting up a fortune-telling stall on the street is not a bad idea. Maybe I can consider it? ”
Tang Zhen involuntarily laughed involuntarily when he thought of this. He kept feeling that he was a little too relaxed.
It felt like an immortal had descended to the world and was playing in the mortal world.
In fact, he was seriously injured and was hiding from the enemy’s pursuit. He did not dare to use his Origin Energy at all.
After confirming the purchase of the house and giving the deposit to the short-bearded man, Tang Zhen received a bronze plate and a key.
Weighing the official money in his hand, the short-bearded man didn’t know if it was because he found his conscience or because he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to receive the rest of the house payment tomorrow, so he specially reminded Tang Zhen.
“If you hear any noise at night, it’s best to ignore it. The city hasn’t been very peaceful recently.”
“I know.”
Tang Zhen casually said. He nimbly twisted the copper lock and pushed open the dust-covered Spider knot wooden door.
All he could see was darkness. The ground was covered in dust, and there seemed to be a shadow in the corner that disappeared in a flash.
Other than being a little dirty, everything was fine.
After closing the door, Tang Zhen found the oil lamp and found that there was still some lamp oil left inside.
He found the fire sickle in his pocket and gently slid it, reigniting the dry lamp wick.
A very small area was lit up, and something seemed to be carefully hiding in the dark corners.
“There’s too much dust. I think I should clean it up.”
As Tang Zhen spoke, he found a broom in the corner. Then, he took out a dagger and started to draw on the handle.
“I’ve prepared a broom for you. Remember to clean the house tonight and don’t make too much noise.
If you don’t, I’ll throw you into the furnace and burn you to ashes.”
After Tang Zhen said this, he slowly walked towards the bedroom with a look of wanting to rest.
After a long while, the room quieted down.
A tall figure appeared in the dark corner and walked to the broom.
After observing for a while, the black figure slowly reached out and placed his hand on the broom.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, it was impossible for it to come into contact with physical objects. It would only pa.s.s through.
However, it was different this time. It actually grabbed the broom and lifted it up easily.
The black shadow fell into silence. He turned to look at Tang Zhen in the bedroom and didn’t move for a long time.
Then, it picked up the broom and began to sweep the dust.
This was its home, and it couldn’t bear to see it become more and more dilapidated. Now that it had the conditions to clean, it naturally had to clean it well.
Another reason was that it had a feeling that this outsider was not to be trifled with.
If he didn’t listen, he would really be driven out of the house and might even lose his life.
