Chapter 20: Dao Barracks
As the largest city in Fuyao County, Qingyun City does not collect city fees.
But it is precisely because of the lack of city fees that the city has an unprecedented number of passengers coming and going.
Yang Xuan and his team of Taoist soldiers waited in line for half a stick of incense before it was his turn to check the identity disc.
"Taoist soldiers cannot enter the inner city and can only be stationed at the Taoist barracks in the outer city. Before entering the inner city, you'd better register at the Taoist barracks in the outer city."
After checking the identity disc, the Taoist soldiers guarding the city reminded Yang Xuan kindly.
"Thank you for reminding!"
Yang Xuan thanked him and then led the Taoist team in.
"Do you know where the Taoist barracks is?"
The original person rarely left Huangfeng Mountain, and had never been to Qingyun City, so he was not familiar with the terrain in the city.
Manniu was previously a commander in the Huangfeng Mountain Taoist team and had experience in escorting the Huangfeng Mountain caravan to and from Qingyun City. That's why Yang Xuancai chose to ask him instead of asking an acquaintance in the city.
"My subordinates know that the Taoist barracks are in Dongcheng!"
Man Niu replied.
"Okay, you lead the way and settle you down first, then I'll enter the inner city."
Yang Xuan motioned for him to lead the way.
After Manniu responded, he took the initiative to lead the way.
Qingyun City is a city where immortals and mortals live together. Most of the people in the outer city are mortals and warriors, while only monks can enter the inner city.
Therefore, most of the people on the streets of the outer city at this time were ordinary people. Even if there were monks, they were basically casual cultivators in the Qi training period.
As they marched along, the people on the street were frightened by the ferocious momentum of Yang Xuan's Taoist soldiers, and they stepped aside one after another to let the Taoist soldiers pass by.
In "Xiu Xian", although Tao soldiers are selected by warriors, the difference between Tao soldiers and ordinary warriors is still very big.
Each Taoist soldier will not only be handed down specialized Taoist skills by his master when he joins the Taoist team, but the armor and weapons they wear are also different from those of ordinary warriors.
For example, Yang Xuan's Taoist team practices the Yang family's inherited Taoist technique "Black Evil Taoist Art." Not only are their bodies generally stronger and can form Black Evil formations, but their armors are also engraved with special patterns.
formation pattern so that they can form a better formation.
It was also because of the training of "Heisha Tao Weapon Technique", coupled with the formation patterns on the armor, that even though almost half of Yang Xuan's Taoist team were new recruits.
But that ferocious aura has not diminished, making ordinary people unable to help but feel fear when facing these Tao soldiers.
Following the wide streets, Yang Xuan and his party soon arrived at a huge mansion.
Outside the mansion, one can clearly feel the evil spirit rising into the sky and the shouts of the Taoist soldiers training to kill.
When he arrived here, Yang Xuan knew without Manniu's reminder that this was the Taoist barracks where Qingyun City's Taoist troops were housed.
He took the initiative and entered a courtyard next to the mansion with a sign for the Taoist Soldiers Resettlement Place written on the door.
"But if you are here to place Taoist soldiers, there are rules for the placement of Taoist soldiers. Read it yourself. After reading it, come to me to fill in your identity information and pay according to the number of Taoist soldiers you have."
This courtyard looks small from the outside, but when you enter it, the space is very large. This is because of the space formation.
The entire Daobing Resettlement Office is a bit like a bank hall in a previous life. It is divided into several counters, and there is a clerk sitting behind each counter.
However, compared to the young ladies in the bank, the people here are basically men, all wearing Qingyun Sect uniforms and exuding the aura of monks.
Because no one came to resettle the Taoist soldiers, the monks at the resettlement office sat lazily on their chairs.
Especially the one in front of Yang Xuan, one of his feet was directly on the counter, and he was lying on his back on a chair, with a book written on his face called "The Ten Most Beautiful Girls in Qingyun" written on it.
The monks all have spiritual thoughts and are very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment. As soon as Yang Xuan approached the counter, the man woke up and pointed to the sign next to the counter.
Yang Xuan looked in the direction he pointed and saw the sign saying:
Every ten Tao soldiers have one spirit stone per day, and ten spirit stones are activated for the blood energy formation. Breakfast and dinner costs are extra. Meal standards are as follows:
Standard package for ten people, one spiritual stone for every ten people.
Deluxe package for ten people, five spiritual stones for each ten people.
…
After reading the content on the sign, Yang Xuan couldn't help but feel sorry for his spiritual stone.
Yang Huaiyun was right, Tao soldiers were indeed big money devourers, no wonder casual cultivators couldn't afford to support them.
But there was nothing he could do about it. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the overseas land reclamation war, the role of Dao soldiers could not be ignored. Even if it was more expensive, he could only reluctantly pay.
"One hundred Taoist soldiers will stay for one day and activate the blood energy array for one night. The meal package will be an ordinary standard, for one hundred people.
This is my identity token, and here are thirty spiritual stones!"
Yang Xuan handed over his identity token and thirty spirit stones.
The man took the identity talisman and the spirit stone, placed the talisman on a disc in front of him and pressed it one by one. An image suddenly appeared in the disc, with Yang Xuan's identity information and appearance on it.
After confirming the information, the man nodded, returned the identity token, and threw a token over.
Yang Xuan took the identity token and solemnly put it into the storage bag in his arms, and then left the office with the token.
Identity tokens are very important in the Xuanhuang Realm, as they determine whether one can enter or leave the major cities of the sect alliance.
Just like the ID card in the previous life, without it, you can't move forward.
And this is the world of cultivating immortals, and the fate of black households is often very miserable.
Whenever a black householder is found in any city, they are basically treated as alien spies and killed.
As for whether there was a mistake in the killing, no one has ever cared about this issue. Anyway, they would rather kill the mistake than let it go.
Therefore, any child born within the scope of the alliance of various sects, whether they are from a cultivating family or a mortal, will generally apply for an identity token first.
Of course, the talisman of a mortal is definitely different from that of a cultivator.
Their identity tokens will not be as strict as those of immortal cultivators, and they will also have images of their appearance. Their tokens are just ordinary tokens, with only their identity information written on them to prove that they are subjects of the alliance of various sects.
After leaving the office, Yang Xuan handed Manniu the token representing his entry into the Taoist barracks. After giving him some instructions, he walked straight towards the inner city without entering the Taoist barracks.
Seats for Qingyun City's distant city flying boats usually had to be purchased in advance, and he had to go to the inner city to buy tomorrow's flying boat tickets.
At the same time, his brother-in-law Chen Zhisheng and the Qiyunshan Yang family have qualified his talents and materials in the inner city, and he needs to hand them over in advance today.
In addition, there are many dangers in going overseas, so he is really worried that it is not safe enough to rely on these means at hand, so he plans to buy more means for himself.
Qingyun City was too big, and it was forbidden to fly. Yang Xuan walked along the main road for almost an hour before arriving at the inner city.
Compared with the inspection when entering the outer city, the inspection when entering the inner city is much more difficult.
Everyone must take out their identity cards for inspection. At the same time, the guards will also ask the people entering the city where they are coming from and the purpose of entering the city.
