The next day, after dawn, Zheng Tianyou saw the monster in the water who was killed last night.

After the thing was beaten to death, it was hung on the side of the ship. It was very conspicuous and could be seen by passing ships.

Zheng Tianyou only took one look and knew why this thing was taken away so easily.

That is a drowned corpse.

Basically, they are similar to zombies on land.

It's nothing more than a drowned corpse being invaded by evil spirits and then turning into a demon.

They are as weak as ordinary zombies!

This thing is also the most common demon in the river.

Zheng Tianyou was listening to people talking and chatting among the crowd on the deck. It is said that the most terrifying things in the river are the demons transformed by some aquatic tribes.

I don’t know if it’s an innate genetic problem or something else. Once the water tribe is invaded by evil spirits and turns into a monster, it will often grow into a huge creature in a short period of time.

These behemoths can pose a fatal threat to ships.

It is said that a few years ago, due to lax patrols by officers and soldiers, a water snake mutated and became demonized in the middle of the river without being noticed for half a year. As a result, the water snake grew into a behemoth of more than ten meters and directly knocked over a ship.

As a result, more than thirty passengers were killed!

In the end, the officer in charge of that section of the inspection was unlucky and was stripped of his official title and sent to jail to eat.

Zheng Tianyou nodded slightly when he heard this. It seems that the imperial court attaches great importance to Jiang Fang!

I just don’t know what will happen in the sea?

It is said that in rivers, it only takes half a year for a possessed water snake to grow to more than ten meters.

Aren’t there really huge things in the sea that are hundreds of meters or even hundreds of feet long?

Can there still be navigation in this world?

What kind of ship can sail in such waters?

Zheng Tianyou inquired about it, and it turned out that a well-informed merchant actually told Zheng Tianyou that Daqi really had a steam ironclad ship that could go to sea.

More than thirty years ago, Daqi sent a fleet to explore Hongzhou overseas, and it is said that many rare treasures were discovered.

In recent years, both the imperial court and the private sector have organized people to immigrate and develop overseas in Hongzhou.

But I heard it’s not that big!

And this also made Zheng Tianyou speechless.

Unexpectedly, the Da Qi court in this world would actually embark on the road of overseas colonization.

The ship traveled for more than a day and finally arrived at Jiuning, the city of Liangzhou.

This is really a prosperous city, built across the river, with a city wall as high as ten meters, which looks majestic.

There is also a water gate built, which allows ships to enter the city directly through the water gate.

It is said that the population of this city exceeds one million, and there is a vibrant scene everywhere.

Zheng Tianyou got off the boat, landed from the pier, and had to pay the city entry tax.

However, as soon as Zheng Tianyou revealed Jingyesi's belt, the tax soldiers immediately retreated.

Because this guy’s city tax income actually belongs to Jingyesi’s Jingye money!

Of course, even if it is not Jingye money.

Ordinary yamen would not blindly ask Zheng Tianyou, a seventh-rank Jingyesi inspector, to collect taxes.

Naturally, this little incident cannot affect Zheng Tianyou's mood.

Especially when he walked onto the streets of Jiuning City, he was immediately shocked.

A bustling and lively scene suddenly came to mind.

On the street paved with stone slabs, scholars wearing long robes and high crowns and errand boys wearing gray shorts walked among them.

There are also women with buns and temples on this road, and of course there are businessmen wearing headscarves.

However, there are also many among them. Although they all wear buns and Han costumes, they all have yellow-haired beards with their eyes closed.

Of course, since you have put on Han clothes and spoken Han language, you are naturally regarded as a subject of the Qi Empire.

Not far away, a flower stand was set up in front of the door of a wine shop, and two blue-eyed orchids in cool clothes with white waists exposed were dancing to the music to attract customers.

Suddenly, a shadow came over and the surrounding area went dark. It was a huge airship that was more than ten feet long and slowly floated through the sky. The huge colored silk fell down, and the words "30 years of honoring guests" of the Deng family's old store were clearly visible.<

/p>

Everything seems prosperous and lively, but there is a kind of violation that the traveler can't explain!

So much so that when Zheng Tianyou saw such a scene for the first time, he was stunned for a long time.

Many people nearby looked at Zheng Tianyou with disgust, treating this guy as a pure country bumpkin.

But speaking of it, he, Zheng Tianyou, has been staying in a rural place like Wanling since he time traveled and has never seen the world. What is he if he is not a country bumpkin?

Zheng Tianyou soon arrived in the center of the city, in front of the Chenghuang Temple, which covers an area of ​​dozens of acres.

In Daqi, there is such a City God Temple in the center of every city.

Generally speaking, this is also where Jingyesi resides!

Others don't know the reason, but because Zheng Tianyou worshiped Huang Zhiyuan as his teacher, he vaguely knows that it is related to the Mountain and River Cauldron and the Earthly Evil Realm.

As for more things, it’s unclear with his current level of cultivation!

Sure enough, Zheng Tianyou soon saw another gate outside the main gate of the City God's Temple, where there was a plaque of Jing Yesi.

There are people coming and going here, and it seems very lively. It seems that there are no fewer people than the people who go to the Chenghuang Temple to offer incense.

However, those who enter and leave the main gate of Jingyesi are all strong warriors with arms thicker than human thighs and carrying swords.

Zheng Tianyou strode in with the inspector's belt hanging on his waist, and immediately attracted many envious eyes.

Of course, there are also many people with strange looks and contempt.

Zheng Tianyou ignored it and went straight to Wuwei Hall in Jingyesi.

In Jingye Division, the Gongde Hall is in charge of merit redemption, and the Shifang Hall is responsible for issuing tasks. The Wuwei Hall is in charge of various personnel matters.

Zheng Tianyou wanted to resign, so he naturally had to come to Wuwei Hall for a visit.

I have to say that as long as it is a yamen, the bureaucratic habits are obvious. The same is true in Jingye Sizhong.

Only when Zheng Tianyou revealed his identity and showed that he had worshiped in Xuanmen Cave Abyss, did the steward of Wuwei Hall change his expression and his attitude became much better.

I just don’t know why, but when he found out that Zheng Tianyou’s master was Huang Zhiyuan and his uncle was Feng Yi, his expression suddenly became very strange.

Zheng Tianyou didn't think too much and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

His master Huang Zhiyuan is a good old man with no abilities, needless to say.

But he wondered if his uncle Feng Yi's weird temper had offended others?

Since the other party didn't mention it, he naturally didn't ask either, so as not to cause any extraneous things!

After successfully completing the procedures, Zheng Tianyou still retains the status and official title of Jing Yesi. However, he has resigned from the specific official position.

Next, Zheng Tianyou can go to the mountain gate of Yuantuzong.

Going to Jiuning City, which is four to five hundred miles away, is Zheng Tianyou’s first time visiting the courtyard gate.
Chapter completed!
