Chapter 5(1/2)
Jiang Chaoge put on Meng Sheng's clothes and shoes, wrapped the knife in a rag, and carried it on his back. He carefully folded his custom-made suit and put it into his luggage, bringing things from his own world.
, he must keep it, it will always remind him where he came from and where he should go back.
The clothing of people in Tianling Kingdom is very distinctive. The styles of men's clothes are similar to ancient Chinese costumes. They are not sloppy at all. In Jiang Chaoge's opinion, they look a bit like the clothes in the Xianxia game. They look very energetic when worn. However, Meng Sheng took a look.
She is relatively poor, and the clothes are made of crude material, which is far inferior to what the third prince wears.
"Mr. Meng, buy me a set of clothes when you get to town. These clothes and boots are a bit too small."
Meng Sheng glared at him, "If you have the money, buy it yourself. Do you know how much those two black panthers cost me?"
Jiang Chao Ge curled his lips. This world also uses gold, silver and copper as currency. If he had known this, he would have brought a big gold chain as thick as his thumb.
"Let's go." Mr. Meng took out two horse-shaped bone sculptures and flicked them into the air, and the two horses appeared in front of them.
Jiang Chao Ge was quite envious. He could do this at any time and create an army of beasts with just a flick of his hand.
Meng Sheng saw through his mind, "This kind of trick is just the lowest level of soul power manipulation. When you get to a safe place, I will teach you how to cultivate soul power, but what I can teach you is entry-level. You have to practice at a high level."
The level of soul power requires a lot of effort, and I will tell you slowly."
Zhi Xuan snorted from his nose, "With your current level of cultivation, when you reach his age, you won't be able to be my soul weapon envoy."
Jiang Chaoge said slightly, "Is it that exaggerated? I learn things very quickly."
Meng Sheng said: "Xiao Jiang, it depends on your luck."
Zhi Xuan glared at him and said, "If you find me a suitable soul soldier, I will spare your life."
Meng Sheng said with a smile: "Master Zhixuan, if there is a soul soldier who can match your soul consciousness, we will definitely give way to him."
Jiang Chaoge picked up Zhi Xuan and put him on his horse, "Before we find him, you'd better feel aggrieved."
Zhi Xuan said angrily: "Don't touch me casually."
"Then you mount the horse yourself?"
Zhi Xuan gave him a vicious look.
Jiang Chaoge got on the horse and tugged his long hair that fell to the ground, "Would you like to tie up your hair? I'll be there soon."
"Fool, don't touch my hair." Zhi Xuan put his hair on his chest, the cheeks on his little face were bulging, and he looked very angry.
Jiang Chaoge thought he was quite funny, if he didn't care about a strange beast from the bottom of his heart.
They left the small village under the cover of night and rode towards the full moon.
Zhi Xuan grabbed the horse's mane and didn't want to get close to Jiang Chaoge, but it was jolted immediately, and his small body couldn't stand up after sitting for a while, so he couldn't help but lean back. As soon as he got close to Jiang Chaoge's arms, he grunted dissatisfiedly, and then
After sitting upright and repeating this three times, Jiang Chaoge became impatient and pushed him into his arms, "Master Zhixuan, you'd better sit down more honestly so that we can all be more comfortable."
Zhi Xuan raised his head and stared at him, "Who should I blame for looking like this? If it weren't for you..."
"Trash, yes, it's all my fault. I will work hard to cultivate my soul power so that you can appear in this world with great dignity as soon as possible."
Zhi Xuan snorted softly and found a comfortable position to lean against in Jiang Chao Ge's arms. His big round eyes could not help but look at the surrounding scenery. For him who had been sleeping for thousands of years, everything he saw now was new.
, if this form didn't make him depressed, being able to wake up from his slumber would have been what the soul beast was looking forward to the most.
After dawn, a small town appeared in front of them. Meng Sheng jumped off his horse and said, "The small town in front is the outer gate of Tian'ao City. Once you leave the city, you are out of the scope of the imperial capital. Come down, let's rest."
."
Jiang Chaoge hadn't ridden a horse for a long time. After riding so intensively for several hours, his legs were shaking when he got off the horse. He placed Zhixuan under the root of the tree and sat down after him.
Meng Sheng threw a piece of dark dough to Jiang Chao Ge, "Eat something, and be very alert when you pass the outer gate in a while. You will definitely be questioned."
Jiang Chaoge looked at the dough and frowned deeply, "Mr. Meng, are you too poor, or do people in this place eat these things?"
Meng Sheng rolled his eyes at him, "I'm poor, but the food in this world isn't very tasty."
Jiang Chaoge sighed, handed the dough to Zhi Xuan, and asked tentatively: "Do you want to eat it?"
Zhi Xuan turned his head and said disdainfully: "Dirty and smelly."
Meng Sheng explained: "Soul beasts don't need to eat."
Jiang Chaoge had no choice but to take a bite. Well, it tasted worse than the bowl of batter. "Mr. Meng, what do you do for a living?"
Meng Sheng cleared his throat, "If there are soul-conscious people on this continent who are not born into nobles, they must either work for the nobles or be self-reliant. Working for the nobles can lead to a decent life, and also have the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, and to obtain a high rank."
Soul weapons are not very free; if you are self-reliant, there are many ways to make a living. Some people make horcruxes, some resell horcruxes, some specialize in hunting raw materials for making horcruxes, and some are mercenaries and thugs. In short
As long as you have soul power, you can make a living no matter what. I've done everything, and I won't starve to death anyway."
Jiang Chaoge thought to himself that when he got to a safe place, he had to find a way to make some money. He was most annoyed by the hard life. He had suffered for too many years when he was a child. He was hungry, had no money, and was looked down upon. He never wanted to taste it again in his life.
.
"When you enter the city in a while, you will see a lot of new things. Remember not to make a fuss and don't let others know that you are from another world. Prince Shu must have wanted us at the outer gate. We have to leave separately. You
Just take Master Zhixuan and go straight to the city gate."
"Okay." Jiang Chaoge glanced at Zhixuan, "Your eyes..."
Zhi Xuan rolled his eyes at him, and his pupils gradually changed from bright gold to ordinary black, which made Jiang Chao Ge sigh in relief.
After resting, Meng Sheng put away his horse, Jiang Chaoge picked up Zhixuan and walked towards the outer gate.
Not many people entered the city at this time. The guard yawned profusely and came over with a wanted warrant.
Jiang Chaoge felt a little nervous, but he had a child with him, so he could provide some cover.
The soldier pointed the wanted notice at him twice, and Jiang Chaoge glanced at the portrait. It was so damn abstract. No wonder, he had been in the hall for less than ten minutes, and few people could remember his appearance.
, if someone can still recognize him in such an ugly painting, it would be an eye-opener.
Sure enough, he was calm and composed, and the guard just looked at him casually and let them in.
Although it was only a small town at the outer gate of the imperial capital, it was still much more prosperous than the towns they passed along the way. Early in the morning, people were coming and going in the market. This was Jiang Chaoge's first real contact with the lives of people in this world.
No wonder Meng Sheng had to remind him in advance that there were so many strange and weird things in the market, which really opened his eyes.
Someone in front was hawking Horcruxes, such as cows for plowing fields, evergreen eels, and dogs for guarding livestock. Jiang Chaoge went over to take a look. The hawker kept summoning these things, and he also trumpeted that these Horcruxes were from the East.
The apprentices of Que's family made it, it is of high quality and low price, and will last for a hundred years.
On the other side, someone was selling soul weapons and soul armor, and a customer was haggling with the boss over an earth-level soul weapon.
Further forward, there is a very large shop filled with all kinds of strange animal bones. The animal bones are of different sizes and are all complete. Some of the animal bones are installed in cages made of iron bars two fingers thick.
, looks quite valuable.
Jiang Chaoge and Zhixuan were like two country people who had just entered the city. They stretched their necks and looked at everything they saw.
When passing by a breakfast shop, white and tender steamed buns were placed on the tall basket, exuding a burst of fragrance. Jiang Chaoge swallowed, thinking that those were the things that people eat.
It's a pity that he didn't have any money, so he was about to take a quick look and leave, but Zhi Xuan had already picked up a bun unceremoniously and took a bite.
Jiang Chaoge blinked and looked at his boss blankly.
The boss was an aunt in her forties. She smiled and said, "Brother, two copper coins."
Zhi Xuan was being held in Jiang Chaoge's arms, eating so obliviously that Jiang Chaoge lowered his voice and said, "Don't you always stop eating?"
Zhi Xuan licked the corner of his mouth and said, "You can eat it or not."
Jiang Chaoge turned around to look for Meng Sheng, but Meng Sheng was nowhere to be seen in the vast market. He didn't have a single steel pen on him, so what should he pay for?
The landlady was still waiting with a smile.
Jiang Chaoge pushed the hair that was scattered in front of his forehead behind his ears, frowned slightly and looked at his aunt, his deep eyes filled with distressing embarrassment and embarrassment: "Sister, the kid has been hungry for two days, he is not sensible.
, I’m telling you a joke, I... we, father and son, finally made it to the imperial capital to join our relatives, and we are already penniless.”
Zhi Xuan's eyes widened and he was about to open his mouth to scold him when Jiang Chaoge stuffed the bun into his mouth and signaled him to shut up with his eyes.
The landlady frowned and said "Ah" in embarrassment.
Jiang Chaoge took off the ring on his hand, handed it over with red eyes, and deliberately said loudly: "But don't worry, I am not a deadbeat. This is my wife's relic, and it is also the most precious thing for our father and son. I keep it under
Here, when I earn two copper coins, I will definitely come back and redeem it!"
People around him sympathized with him and said, "Oh, such a small child must be starving. It's just a bun."
"That's right, this guy is so handsome, he doesn't look like a deadbeat. It's not a big deal for a kid to eat buns. It's just two copper coins. I paid them."
The landlady immediately felt embarrassed, "Oh, forget it, do I care about a bun? Brother, take back such an important thing. It won't be easy for you and your son..." She picked up a few buns and threw them into the bag.
Li said, "Come here, take it with you to eat on the road, people in the imperial capital are not stingy."
Jiang Chaoge said movedly: "Sister, are all the people in the imperial capital as beautiful and kind as you?"
The landlady laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth and stuffed two more boiled eggs into her mouth.
Jiang Chao Ge left the breakfast stall, and Zhi Xuan spat out the buns. He glared at Jiang Chao Ge with disdain, "You are so impatient, don't you? Dare you say that I am your son!"
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Do you want to eat boiled eggs?"
"How shameless, you actually lied."
"Would you like some hard-boiled eggs?"
"If you want, peel the eggshell for me."
