After a moment, Zhang Buyi finally accepted the harvest of the breakthrough. All three template identities were transferred, and the characteristics were added to one person. He had just entered the first transfer, and he might be someone who could transfer to the fourth or fifth heaven in one go.

After a professional turns, he is no longer divided into nine realms and twelve realms like apprentices, but can only reach the ninth level.

After turning one to the Nine Heavenly Empress, she ascended to the second stage. After turning two to the Nine Heavenly Empress, she ascended to the third stage.

After the three templates completely broke through, Zhang Buyi integrated the remaining two into Zhou Tai's body.

······

After a long time, Zhang Buyi finished sorting out the harvest and looked around.

Because of his breakthrough, the aura of the cave was reduced a lot, but a faint strange rhythm was added. It was a good place for low-level disciples to practice.

It's a pity that it's too far away from Qingyu Temple, otherwise it could be used as a training place for Qingyu Temple disciples.

Shaking his head, Zhang Buyi took the little fox and left the cave and returned to the room.

······

Early the next morning, Zhang Buyi posted two talismans in a hidden corner of the house and prepared to leave early in the morning. When the old man got up to see Zhang Buyi off, he saw an extra white fox beside Zhang Buyi and said in surprise: "Xiao Bai.

?”

"Old man, do you recognize it?" Zhang Buyi asked.

The old man nodded and said: "My baby met an injured one before, and then he was released. After that, he often came to the village and said that he was very human. However, something happened in the village and my baby died, so I haven't seen him for a long time.

"

Zhang Buyi smiled and said: "It is indeed very humane. It suddenly broke into my room last night and acted like it was relying on it. I simply stopped it."

Hearing this, the old man looked at Zhang Buyi with his turbid eyes and said, "You are a lucky child."

"Then I'll lend you my good wishes, old man!"

As they spoke, Zhang Buyi had already arrived at the entrance of the village. After the two said goodbye, Zhang Buyi got on his horse and left.

The old man stood at the entrance of the village, lost in thought for a long time. This deserted village would really be deserted soon, but in today's Daxia, such a village is not an exception.

······

After returning to the road, Zhang Buyi got a fox pet, which made the road a little more fun. Because it was only half a foot long, like a ferret, it could fit in his arms, which was quite convenient.

After traveling for another two days, Zhang Buyi finally arrived at Nanzhou City, the largest port city on the edge of Bashu.

The land route from Bashu to the coast is too far. The water route can go from here to the vicinity of Jiangsu and Zhezhou Prefecture, which can speed up the journey a lot.

So after Zhang Buyi arrived in Nanzhou City, he first went straight to the dock.

On the dock, there are dirty dockworkers wearing sweatshirts, sweating and carrying goods;

There is a foreman who greets laborers, pulls people to work, and is recruiting people;

There are also various pedestrians dressed in western style, and you can even see a foreigner occasionally.

There are all kinds of things, and you can clearly see the intersection of the times. It is very lively and looks extremely prosperous. Just looking here, it is difficult to see any chaotic scenes, as if there is a prosperous Great Xia.

There are various ships docked in the huge port, including dilapidated awning boats and large wooden ships with a few sails. The most attractive one is a huge steel ship.

Its huge size, constant spewing steam, and billowing black smoke all mark its noble identity: a steamship!

In Daxia of this era, there were no more than twenty such ships, all of which were small freighters purchased by the imperial court from foreigners at a huge cost.

I heard that half of it was used as a navy vehicle, and the other half was used as an official transport, pulling people, transporting goods, etc.

Zhang Buyi came here to take the waterway instead of starting from the port of Liuxi Town because of it. In addition to wanting to see something new, the main reason is that it is big and fast.

But although this thing can also take people, ordinary people can't. He is in charge of transport lines. Fortunately, although Zhou Tai is from an ordinary person's background, Zhuang Zhengsong is not.

Zhang Buyi came to the ticket office, and there was almost no one there.

"Hi, I'll buy a steamboat ticket to Jiangshui Lane. Do you have any more?" Zhang Buyi said to the person who bought the ticket.

The dozing ticket seller was startled, looked up at Zhang Buyi, and said, "Are you qualified to buy tickets?"

Zhang Buyi took out a token and said, "Is this okay?"

"It turns out he's an adult from the Inspection Department. I'm blind, don't blame me." The ticket seller looked at the token. After recognizing his identity, he immediately changed his expression and said to Zhang Buyi: "There are still a lot of tickets.

Go to Jiangshui Lane for eight taels of silver and get a flight tomorrow morning!"

Zhang Buyi's face froze, and he almost said it was so expensive. A boat ticket made him feel the blow to his soul from the breeze in his sleeves!

He nodded without leaving any trace and said, "Leave one for me and I'll pick it up in the afternoon."

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely reserve one for you." The other party did not doubt anything else and immediately replied in a flattering manner.

Zhang Buyi nodded, turned and left.

"It was a miscalculation. I should have taken a risk and brought a few more taels of silver with me before I knew it." Zhang Buyi led the horse, touched the more than one tael of silver in his pocket, and said to the horse beside him:

"Ma, it seems that we are destined to miss each other. I originally wanted to keep you for a while, but now my master is short of money, so I can only find a new home for you."

"Pfft!"

The horse snorted and made no other movements, enjoying Zhang Buyi's touch.

"Chirp!"

In his arms, a snow-white little guy appeared and whispered twice. He looked at Zhang Buyi warily.

Zhang Buyi laughed and scolded: "Look at you like that, no matter how poor I am, I won't sell you! Besides, your two ounces of meat may not be worth the price!"

"Chirp!"

The little fox in his arms screamed in dissatisfaction, and then got in again with peace of mind.

Zhang Buyi shook his head and walked towards the city.

······

After walking around the city, I first found a horse dealer and quickly disposed of the horse for thirty-five taels.

In fact, the sale was a bit of a loss, but Zhang Buyi dealt with it quickly, and because of the occupational disease, he didn't want to have too much money. After all, he didn't know the power of the gadget, so he didn't pursue it too closely.

After getting the money, Zhang Buyi went directly to the pier and spent eight taels of silver to buy a boat ticket.

Looking at the time, it was already noon. Feeling a little hungry, Zhang Buyi looked for a restaurant. It was rare for him to have money, so he no longer asked for money.

I chose a table by the window on the second floor, ordered a large table of dishes, and ate slowly.

It was noon now, and Zhang Buyi chose a restaurant with a good business, so there were many diners.

Zhang Buyi deliberately chose a location where he could eat, listen to the chatter of the people around him, and get to know the situation in Nanzhou.

While eavesdropping, a table of diners sitting by the window not far away caught his attention.

There are three of them. Judging from their clothes, they should be scholars. Judging from their conversation, they should be students from some academy in Nanzhou City. Their identities are not simple.

"Hey, I heard recently that Mr. Li Hongzhang was ordered to negotiate with the Sun Never Sets Empire again. I don't know where he will be renting this time."

"Brother Wang, your news is out of date. Just the day before yesterday, parts of the south of Shenhe Prefecture and parts of Jiulong Prefecture have now become the new territories of the Empire on which the sun never sets!"

"Oh, these years, we have been cutting land every day and paying compensation every month. When will this end?"

"No, but many adults in the court also know that things can't go on like this. Isn't that how the Inspection Department came out?"

"I hope things will get better. I heard that the Holy One is planning a big move recently?"

"It can't be fake. Lord Kang Youwei came to our Nanzhou yesterday and will take the waterway to Beijing to visit the Holy Spirit tomorrow. I guess it's just for this matter?"

"I don't know. My family has also heard a lot of news, saying that they want to reform the system and abolish the imperial examination. This may not be the case!"

"It is impossible to abolish the imperial examination, but it is said that stereotyped writing needs to be changed. This should be true. My old man said it."

"real?"

"Well, Mr. Kang has been advocating for practicality and learning from foreigners over the years. Now that Mr. Kang has been summoned to Kyoto, the meaning above is obvious. He must lean towards the new sect!"

"Then what will be tested in the imperial examination next? It can't be foreign studies, right?"
