"Twelve taels, five taels, three coins..."

Under the candlelight, Zhang Biao is counting money.

After a long time, even the copper plates in the corners were turned out, and then he rubbed his face and felt a little big.

"A total of three hundred and twenty taels..."

Three hundred and twenty taels is a lot, even if it is less.

Nowadays, the price of goods in Yujing City is that one tael of silver can buy a hundred dou of rice and eighty kilograms of beef.

The county official's annual salary is only thirty taels, which is an astronomical amount of money for ordinary people.

But it is far from enough for cultivation.

A serving of Bazhen Qi and Blood Soup, including tiger bones, costs almost ten taels.

Be careful, it can be used for three days.

The Zhang family's savings are not enough for a hundred days.

I dare not count any unexpected situations.

The cost is astonishing.

But if you can’t withstand a thousand miles of waves, how can you get thousands of catties of fish? As long as you succeed in cultivation, no matter how high the price is, it will be worth it.

It has only been less than a month since the Black Sun and Blood Moon appeared, and there are already many strange things, including Ghost Willow, Yi Chonghui, and the Killing Sect...

Each one is more difficult than the other.

Of course, it's not his turn to take the lead in these things.

The most beautiful place in the capital, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I don’t know how many masters are hiding.

With his skills, he is only above average in the Six Doors, and he is in a humble position and has little say.

Just find an opportunity, let the wind out, and let the strong-headed people resist.

But signs of chaos have emerged, and there are ghosts and spirits... These completely unknown existences, who knows whether he will encounter them.

We must strengthen our strength as soon as possible.

The "Three Yang Sutra" is only a method of refining Qi. If you want to practice the Three Yang True Fire, you don't know how long it will take.

The magic weapon, the Soul Mirror, is useful, but it has been damaged, its power is greatly reduced, and it only targets living creatures.

This object comes from the "Snake Temple", which is mostly related to monks, and Yi Chong will not hesitate to kill people to silence them.

I wonder if there are other magical weapons hidden there.

Tuwan Village on the outskirts of the city...

Zhang Biao suddenly remembered that Grandma Wu happened to live in Tuwan Village.

Xiao San's execution date has been set, and he will leave tomorrow to deliver a message...

…………

The next day, the sky was covered with lead clouds.

Yujing City is located on the ancient vast plains, with fertile land and four canals, Yongding, Qinglong, Sishui and Taihe.

The land is fertile and the natural population is large, forming villages of all sizes, like stars surrounding Kyoto.

Five miles outside the west gate of Yujing City, there is a large mule and horse market, where many caravans traveling from north to south gather to camp.

Firstly, it can save rent costs, and secondly, it can trade with each other and even hire escort teams.

"Boss, just this one..."

Zhang Biao wore a black military robe and a bamboo hat to cover his face, comforting a big maroon horse.

Tuwan Village is dozens of miles away from the capital, so walking takes a long time and carriages have to wait for a long time.

With his identity, he showed his six-door waist card, so he could naturally use the station army and horses.

But he was taking a break, didn't have any official errands, and didn't want to be known, so he came to rent a horse.

Renting a pommel horse only costs a hundred yuan.

After putting down a deposit of ten taels, Zhang Biao whipped up his horse and left the mule and horse market, heading southwest.

He followed his father in martial arts since he was a child. He is not a top-notch archer and horseman, but he is still proficient in it.

Holding the rein in his left hand and the whip in his right hand, his body rose and fell with the horse's back, and he was several miles away in the blink of an eye...

What Zhang Biao didn't notice was that as soon as he rode away, several people in the mule and horse market raised their heads.

"It's the one named Zhang from Liumen!"

"Big...brother, that is the direction of Tuwan Village, will he find out..."

"Why are you panicking? Everyone is on fire. As long as you don't talk too much, this matter will be unknown to the gods and ghosts."

"I've got an errand, and I'm going to get rich soon. Let's go back and hide for a while, and start working on it after the news passes. Then we can follow me and have a good time, and we won't be in vain for our brothers..."

"Thank you, brother!"

"Listen to big brother!"

…………

The cold wind blows through the dry grass, and the autumn mood is refreshing.

The sound of horse hoofbeats left a trail of smoke and dust on the loess official road, and they stopped before a fork in the road.

"Hulululu!"

The bay-red horse snorted, and even though Zhang Biao struggled to hold on to the reins, its hooves were restless and it slowly backed away.

Zhang Biao frowned and looked around cautiously.

After riding the horse for more than half an hour, we were almost at Tuwan Village, but the horse was suddenly frightened and stopped moving forward.

The horse has extraordinary spiritual awareness and must have sensed danger.

But this place is still above the official road. Looking around, we can see the luxuriant grass beside the road and the waves of wheat rolling in the distance. No thieves are found to rob the road.

What frightened the horse?

Zhang Biao bent down and stroked the horse's neck to comfort him. Then he used his spiritual vision and quickly got the information.

Prairie Horse(Fan)

1. A horse breed from the grassland, with reddish coat color, strong adaptability, and widespread distribution in various parts of the world.

2. A seven-year-old horse has passed its prime, its speed has slowed down, and its obedience is strong. It has served in the army and is an old horse that has gone through battles.

3. It was frightened...

What a waste!

Zhang Biao was speechless.

This was a privately sold military horse. Naturally, he could see that there were burnt marks of the "horse mark" on its buttocks.

But there was no hint of what frightened me.

This is also the reason why he doesn't often use his spiritual eye.

For ordinary things, we often get no useful information and consume energy in vain.

With his current ability, he still has to use it with caution.

Hiss...

Suddenly, a large spotted snake swam out from the grass, spitting out letters, and went very fast.

Clang!

The horizontal sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed.

The snake immediately broke into two parts, twisted crazily on the ground, and gradually stopped moving.

At the same time, the horse is no longer nervous.

"It turns out that the long worm frightened the horse."

Zhang Biao breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ride his horse through the fork in the road to the southwest.

A few hundred meters away from the branch road, there is a river, which is a branch of the Yongding Canal and is used to irrigate farmland.

The autumn wind is bleak and the river is rippling.

Shore,

The river overflows and then recedes,

A pair of footprints slowly appeared...

…………

Tuwan Village, just as its name suggests.
To be continued...
