Amidst the sound of hoofbeats, a large caravan slowly appeared.
The cart was pulled by a giant bull with many legs, nearly five meters long, and covered with thick long hair.
Two huge curved horns carry rows of bronze bells, which make crisp sounds as they move around.
The bells are not only decorative, but also have the function of frightening the soul. The giant cow will become very docile after hearing the bells.
Otherwise, once it goes crazy, no one can control this giant bull, which may cause irreparable losses.
The utensils on the giant bull are also made of bronze, showing a simple color of gold and red.
The long carts, about two meters high, pulled by giant oxen, were connected one to the other and were filled with packaged goods.
The special wheels are lined up in a row and roll forward at the same time, making a rhythmic friction sound.
This is the standard caravan configuration, with giant oxen, long carts, and caravan members moving forward on foot.
They walked directly to the city gate along the nine-foot official road, and entered the city at the last moment before nightfall.
The heavy door closed, and the golden runes began to shine as night came, completely blocking out the darkness and evil spirits.
Faintly, bursts of sneers and unwilling roars could be heard coming from the darkness.
The lights of thousands of houses in the city are another world.
If you look down from the sky, you will find that the city is like an island in the sea, surrounded by endless darkness.
The auras of the people gathered together and were guided out by special formations, forming an energy barrier to protect the city.
Negative energy such as evil spirits and ghosts cannot pass through the protective shield of Yang Qi condensation, otherwise they will be like snowflakes falling into boiling water and disappear into nothingness in an instant.
Ordinary people cannot see this scene, otherwise they will have trouble sleeping and eating. They are just running around for life, living a simple and boring life, constantly consuming their short lives.
The caravan entering the city stopped, and the hired hands began to unload and inventory the goods. It was also time for the individual travelers who were traveling with them to leave.
Tang Zhen tidied his clothes, carried his package on his back, and walked slowly along the loess-filled streets.
Most of the residents on the roadside closed their doors and left the heavy door bolts. Only the light and voices behind the window panels indicated the presence of people inside the house.
When they hear footsteps on the road, people in the house will subconsciously lower their voices and then listen to what's going on outside.
It feels like a nest of rabbits, living cautiously.
Tang Zhen is dressed like a foreigner running around for a living, and he doesn't look like a monk at all.
This is the result he wants, to return to his original nature as much as possible and throw away anything related to the gods.
Only by doing this can you block the enemy's detection lock on you and gain more time for cultivation and recovery.
As for another benefit, it is that you can remove the divinity from your body so that you will not turn into a cold and heartless stone.
The moment he made the decision, Tang Zhen felt relaxed, as if he had experienced the feeling of being a human being again after experiencing countless reincarnations.
Although he is extremely humble, he has perseverance and belief in his heart, and he spends his whole life and efforts to accomplish what the gods can do in a single thought.
Sure enough, life in this world is a practice.
After walking along the street for a while, we finally came to a lively place, which was an officially allowed night market.
I found a noodle stall on the roadside and ordered a bowl of noodles sprinkled with chopped vegetables to fill my already hungry stomach.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was just a mortal body, not a divine body condensed with original energy.
You will feel hungry, tired, injured, and in pain and bleeding.
After finishing a large bowl of noodles, Tang Zhen looked around and walked towards a shop on the roadside.
There were four people inside the shop, playing wooden cards under the oil lamp. When they saw Tang Zhen come in, a short-bearded man stood up to greet him.
"I want to buy a house. I can rent it. Is there any suitable place?"
Tang Zhen explained his purpose, and the short-bearded man nodded while secretly judging Tang Zhen's origins.
"What price do you want, what special requirements do you have, and do you have the corresponding certificates?"
The short-bearded man chatted with Tang Zhen and quickly recommended a house that had not been inhabited for many years.
After getting Tang Zhen's consent, the short-bearded man led the way and walked straight to the house.
The three people in the house were whispering at this moment, saying that the short-bearded man was cunning enough to sell the haunted house to outsiders...
Tang Zhen didn't know what those people were talking about. He just looked at the house in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
The house is big enough, the yard is spacious enough, and there is a blacksmith shop in front.
Although there is hidden Yin Qi, which is harmful to ordinary people, it will not have any impact on Tang Zhen.
The short-bearded man tried his best to flatter him and wanted to complete the deal, but he didn't know that Tang Zhen had already seen through his ploy.
This man with a short beard has a wrong mind and may end up in jail soon.
Even if you can't die, you still have to peel off a layer of skin.
It is definitely not a curse from Tang Zhen, but an accurate conclusion drawn by observing words and expressions.
"It's a good job to make a living by setting up a stall on the street to tell fortunes. Maybe you can consider it?"
Tang Zhen couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. He felt that he was a little too relaxed.
It feels like a fairy has come to the world and is playing in the world of mortals.
In fact, he was seriously injured and was avoiding the enemy's pursuit, not even daring to use any of his original power.
After confirming the purchase of the house and handing the deposit to the short-bearded man, Tang Zhen received a bronze medal and a key.
Weighing the official money in his hand, the short-bearded man didn't know whether it was because of his conscience or because he was worried that he would not be able to receive the remaining payment for the house tomorrow, so he reminded Tang Zhen specifically.
"If you hear any noise at night, it's best to ignore it. The city has not been very peaceful recently."
"knew."
Tang Zhen said casually, twisting the copper lock neatly and pushing open the dust-covered wooden door.
It was dark as far as the eye could see, the ground was covered with dust, and there seemed to be shadows flickering in the corners.
Apart from being a little dirty, everything was fine.
After closing the door, Tang Zhen found the oil lamp and found that there was still lamp oil left inside.
I found the fire sickle from my pocket, and with a gentle slide, the dry wick was relit.
A small area was illuminated, and in the dark corners, something seemed to be carefully hiding.
"There's too much dust. It seems like it should be cleaned."
While Tang Zhen was talking, he found a broom in the corner, then took out a dagger and wrote and drew on the wooden handle.
"I've prepared a broom for you. Remember to clean the house tonight and don't make too much noise.
If you don't obey, then I will throw you into the furnace and burn you directly to a pile of ashes."
After Tang Zhen said this, he slowly walked towards the bedroom, as if he was about to take a rest.
After a while, the room became quiet.
In the dark corner, a tall figure appeared and walked to the broom.
After observing for a while, the black shadow slowly stretched out his hand and put it on the broom.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for it to contact the real object and can only travel through the past.
But this time it was different. It actually grabbed the broom and lifted it easily.
The shadow fell into silence and turned to look at Tang Zhen in the bedroom. There was no movement for a long time.
Then it picked up the broom and started sweeping the dust.
This is its home, and it can't bear to see it getting dilapidated. Now that it has the conditions to clean it, it naturally needs to be cleaned up properly.
Another reason is that it has a feeling that this outsider is not easy to mess with.
If you disobey, you will really be kicked out of your house, and you may even lose your life.
