However, because vampire vines are plants and cannot move, they are much easier to deal with than mandrills.

Regardless of whether it is a mandrill wood charm, its body has a part that can be used as a material for making elixirs or refining weapons.

These can be exchanged for merit at Jingyesi’s Merit Hall!

In addition, solving these mandrill wood charms also has merit in itself.

After killing so many mandrills in the past month, Zheng Tianyou can be considered to have gained more than two thousand meritorious services.

Of course, this meritorious service is not worth mentioning to the current Zheng Tianyou.

The biggest gain for him is of course that after many battles, Zheng Tianyou's split power has improved a lot, although it has not yet reached a great state.

But compared with the initial use of force, which could only leave a scar the size of a walnut on the bluestone, he can now shrink his force to the size of a peanut!

At this time, Zheng Tianyou had already arrived to the west of Wanling City.

It’s a complete circle around Wanling County.

Even one of the wooden charms, Zheng Tianyou, crossed the border and went to the mountainous area of ​​the next county to kill it.

Originally, Zheng Tianyou wanted to continue his efforts and cleanse all the demons in the entire Wanling territory.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zheng Tianyou received a summons from Huang Zhiyuan.

Huang Zhiyuan is leaving Xingyang much earlier than initially expected.

I originally thought that Huang Zhiyuan would stay in Xingyang Mansion for at least a few months, or half a year.

Who knew that after only three months, I would be in a hurry to leave Wanling.

Zheng Tianyou didn't care to continue to eliminate the demons in the mountains, and rushed all the way to Xingyang Mansion, only to find that Huang Zhiyuan had left first.

He just said that the mountain gate called him back too urgently. He could not wait to take Zheng Tianyou back to the Yuantu Zong Mountain Gate, and let Zheng Tianyou rush to the Yuantu Zong Mountain Gate by himself.

Zheng Tianyou secretly complained that it was bad luck, so he could only submit his resignation to Jingyesi and prepare to leave for the Yuantu Zongshan Gate.

With Huang Zhiyuan here, things like resigning from Jingyesi should be handled by him as the master.

Now that Huang Zhiyuan has left, if Zheng Tianyou wants to resign, he has to make a trip to the state capital.

After all, Zheng Tianyou, the Wanling inspector, was not appointed by Xingyang Prefecture, but by Liangzhou Jingyesi. Therefore, the only way to resign is to ask the state city to go through the formalities.

He went back to Wanling first and asked Du Xiong to take better care of Lu Yang and Zhang Daya in the future.

Du Xiong naturally patted his chest and agreed.

Zheng Tianyou is not afraid that Du Xiong's words won't count. First of all, Du Xiong's character is quite good.

Furthermore, for Zheng Tianyou, this is equivalent to being promoted, not being demoted and retired.

When people in the officialdom are tired of tea, it means you have been dismissed from office and retired. If you are promoted, ensure that the people below you will still treat you respectfully and claim to be your old subordinates everywhere!

Although Zheng Tianyou was not promoted, he became a disciple of the Yuantu Sect and became a disciple of Xuanmen Dongyuan. That really meant he had a bright future, leaping over the dragon gate.

Maybe next time I see Zheng Tianyou, I will call Zheng Tianyou a mage.

At that time, it was unknown that Zheng Tianyou would become the head of the Gongde Hall of Xingyang Mansion!

Under such circumstances, Du Xiong would never act recklessly unless his brain was kicked by a donkey!

Zheng Tianyou cleared up some trivial matters again.

Including some furniture and objects left behind in the past, all kinds of messy things were given to Lu Yang, Zhang Daya and others.

Because Zheng Tianyou estimates that he will have few chances to return to Wanling in the future.

In the end, under the farewell of Wanling County Jingyesi, even the magistrate of Wanling County personally sent him off.

Zheng Tianyou then left Wanling and headed all the way to Jiuning, the capital of Liangzhou.

It is pitiful to say that it has been almost four years since Zheng Tianyou came to this world through time travel. The farthest place he has been to is Xingyang Fucheng.

He has never traveled further afield, let alone to Jiuning.

This time I really gained a lot of experience.

In the classical era when trains did not exist, the most convenient and fastest way was of course water and land.

Zheng Tianyou went to Jiuning by boat this time, which was still a new experience for him.

After all, Wanling is in the mountains, and water transportation is not very convenient.

But Jiuning is different. Water transportation is very developed.

What surprised Zheng Tianyou even more was that Zheng Tianyou actually saw a steamship.

That’s right!

Right before his eyes, Zheng Tianyou, who was on the deck of a passenger ship, saw a steam paddle steamer going up the river.

This really surprised Zheng Tianyou!

Although he knew that there were muskets and banknotes were quite popular, Zheng Tianyou knew that the level of technology in this world should not be low, and it was probably close to modern times.

But Zheng Tianyou didn't expect that he would even build something like a steamboat.

By the way, the steamboat has come out, is it still far from the train?

In the next few days, Zheng Tianyou saw steamships several times.

He discovered that the steam ships in Daqi are now used by the military and are not popular for civilian use.

However, this thing spreads very quickly. As long as it is profitable, there will definitely be businesses who will find ways to imitate and build their own.

Moreover, maybe there are private steamships in other places now, but he just hasn't seen them!

The world of Daqi is full of monsters, both on land and in the water.

And compared to land, the appearance of monsters in water seems to be more common.

These military steamships patrol along the river and protect waterways.

After all, these waterways are so important.

Moreover, some of the steamships have martial arts masters from Jingyesi sitting on board.

In addition, Zheng Tianyou also saw the existence of many Jingyesi guards.

This kind of thing is not available in Wanling. It is placed along the river to protect the smooth flow of waterways.

However, even so, this does not completely prevent the appearance of monsters in the water and attacks on ships.

The passenger ship Zheng Tianyou took was a relatively high-end one. It was a night ship that continued sailing at night. This kind of ship was much more expensive than a ship that docked at night.

On the third day after he boarded the ship, it was late at night. Zheng Tianyou had fallen asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.

He quickly jumped up and rushed onto the deck. In the distance, he saw hundreds of meters away, making huge noises from a night sailing ship with lanterns hanging all over the deck.

That's the sound of musket fire!

All night sailing ships have crew members equipped with muskets. This is to guard against attacks by monsters in the river.

This is why the tickets for night sailing ships are more expensive than ordinary ships.

The night ship ahead must have been attacked by a demon!

Zheng Tianyou was still hesitating whether to go over and help.

They are several hundred meters apart, so it is not easy for Zheng Tianyou to get there.

But he won’t have to hesitate about such things soon!

Because the crew on that ship are experienced and vigilant.

Just as a demon climbed onto the ship in the middle of the night, he was discovered by the crew and beaten to death.

There is no need for Zheng Tianyou to go over and help!
Chapter completed!
