fairy cage

Chapter 13
After Yu Lie left the courtyard, he walked in the damp and cold shanty town, thinking about where he should go to find a suitable shelter.

However, he took a look at the sky, and quickly let go of this idea, because the sky was gloomy, and in one or two hours, the yamen responsible for managing Taoist boys and handing over tasks in the town was about to close.

Hurry up, Yu Lie, he can only get the amulet money from the yamen if he goes over to hand over his task of subjugating the demon first, so that he won't continue to be penniless, and he can have the amulet money to rent a new residence.

Walking quickly all the way, Yu Lie came to the street, and he found that the pedestrians on the street did not become less because of the dark sky, but more.

Yu Lie didn't care.

Different from the [-] to [-] o'clock and off work hours of the Yamen, the Taoist boys in Heishui Town prefer to come out for activities in the evening and night. During the day, they all like to stay in their respective residences to rest and exercise .

This living habit has a lot to do with the Heishui River, because the black snakefish in the Heishui River are most active in the evening and night.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water.

Black snakefish generally possess a demonic aura and are rich in flesh and blood, but they vary in size.

Small black snakefish are far less powerful than real beasts, and they live in the water, so once they land on the shore, the threat to people will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, even a Taoist boy with a mortal body, as long as he is lucky, he can catch the black snake fish from the Heihe River and earn a valuable fortune.

But the black snake fish is only a special product with a radius of hundreds of miles. The whole black water river flows through thousands of miles. There are many aquatic species in the river, and there are also many monsters. Occasionally, there will be ferocious eighth-rank beasts, and even seventh-rank monsters jump out of the river. On the shore, it preys on Daotong in turn.

Such ferocious beasts and monsters can only be hunted and killed by the powerful Taoist boys and master Taoists in the town!

So fishing in the Blackwater River, even on the cliffs near the town, is not so easy and safe.

More importantly, Yu Lie walked on the street.

He inadvertently glanced at the passers-by, and clearly saw that all Taoist boys carrying fishing tools must be carrying all kinds of murder weapons in their hands, such as axes, hooks, bows, crossbows and armor, and the cold light splashed everywhere!

Some people carried iron cages for fish in their hands, but did not carry other fishing tools. Instead, they carried the most weapons and other things.

These people are often in groups of three or four, looking at hawks and wolves, with fierce faces.

Once night falls and the Taoist priests in the yamen get off work, the town's restraint on the majority of Taoist pupils will naturally weaken.

It's okay to be in the streets and residential areas, but if you are in other places, even if you are still within the scope of the town, it is not safe.

And in Heishui Town at night, the most dangerous people are often not monsters, but people, living people!

Yu Lie walked all the way, took a few glances, and then looked away from the pedestrians.

Heishui town is not big, and he soon arrived at the office of the Yamen.

One after another, Taoist boys crawled in and out of the large door openings of the yamen, their faces either worried or happy.

The town's yamen is not a place for judging cases. In Heishui Town, not a single case will be brought to the yamen for judgment in a year. Its main purpose is to provide a place for the government to offer rewards and accept tasks.

Together with the yamen, there are also government-run alchemy rooms, government-run butcher shops, government-run bookstores, Taoist courtyards, and so on.

Yu Lie mixed into the crowd, and not long after, he walked out of the yamen lobby again.

Yu Lie was lucky. During the time he was practicing in seclusion, someone had already been to several places where he eliminated demons, and verified his results one by one.

After walking out of the yamen, the rest of the ranks filled his pocket, and he had a considerable amount of money, which was enough for him to live comfortably for a period of time.

This surprised Yu Lie a little.

The reason why he received the task of eliminating demons at the beginning was only to obtain the traces of fierce beasts and hunt them down. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the rewards after completing the task.

It is only now that I realize that although these bounties cannot be compared with the money he put in when he got rid of the demons, they are at least one or two dollars back.

It was a surprise, and it was time to celebrate.

However, when Yu Lie stepped out of the yamen, he found that because of his fast pace, he didn't have a long line to receive the reward. When he came out, it was still early and not dark, and several halls next to the yamen were open.

So Yu Lie thought about it, thinking that two trips would be better than one trip, so he turned around and walked to the Daoluyuan next to him.

The Taoist Court is a place under the command of the Taoist Court that is responsible for assessing Taoists, promoting them, and teaching etiquette.

For example, remote and small towns like Heishui Town are also responsible for arranging accommodation, distributing food, assigning positions, etc. to the new Taoist boys.

The building of Daoluyuan is not big, but it is different from the whole body of stone in other places. It is a pure wood structure. Although it is all logs, it has not even been painted. It looks like a temple with red mud and powder walls.

But when Yu Lie walked in, he still felt as if he had left the rough Heishui Town and came to a real monastery place.

Close to work, there is only one old Taoist boy sitting on the stage in the main hall of the yard, and there are several immature gray-robed Taoist boys waiting, all of them nodding and bowing, flattering the old Taoist on the stage.

Yu Lie was at the back of the line, and he could clearly see the hands of the gray-robed Taoist boys, more or less carrying fish and meat, large and small bags.

The old Taoist boy on the stage stared at the cloudy dead fish eyes, without raising his eyelids, he dismissed the waiting Taoist boys one by one.

"Qingling perch? It's rare in the town, but it's a pity it smells bad. Do you want to go to the farm to grow meat fields? No, the fish smells too bad. Either become a tenant farmer or take the fish back first."

"Do you want to work in Daolu Academy? No matter how much money you give, it's useless. I'll try again when the old Daoist is about to die."

"Tiger meat? Since it's a gift, I'd better carry a tiger penis. It doesn't have any demonic aura, but it can still be a little coquettish. I'm just lacking this. Do you have it? Will it be delivered tomorrow? Then come back tomorrow."

This dead fish-eyed old Taoist boy is the official staff who is responsible for assigning various positions to the Taoist boys who come to claim their positions.

The Taoist boys who have just arrived in Heishui Town not only have free accommodation for the first three years, but the town also promises to provide an opportunity to learn the skills of self-cultivation. There are alchemy and alchemy talismans, which will ensure the survival of the Taoist boys for the first three years.

The big bags and small bags in the hands of the Taoist boys in the Daolu Academy are used to bribe the old Taoist Si Yuyan, hoping to get a better position.

Because just like the courtyards arranged for free, the jobs provided by the town are also countless hidden pits. If you are not careful, your life will be lost.

Yu Lie was patient, and finally it was his turn.

The dead fish eye old man on the stage asked: "Name?"

"Yu Lie."

"Well, I found it. There is no position yet, and the qualification has not been used. Are you also here to receive work?"

"Is there a position for Danfang recently, please be safe."

Dead Fish Eyes heard this, and still stared, without raising his eyelids, he said, "Yes, medicine slave, corpse slave, medicine slave... Which one do you want to choose?"

Yu Lie frowned subconsciously when he heard these choices.

Medicine slaves test medicine, and everyone knows that its end will be miserable; corpse slaves use their own yang energy to raise corpses; medicine slaves are in charge of going out of the town to collect medicine...

Every position that the old Taoist said is a fire pit position that will not last long! The first two will undoubtedly die, and the third may not necessarily die, but they often die the fastest, and the dead are the most dead.
