Chapter 51 51 Love
Tan Yang.
On the endless Qiguang Plain, a huge city stands next to the Red Mountain.
The city wall more than 30 meters high surrounds the city, and there are two attached cities around it.
There are more than ten villages and towns guarding each of the eight sides.
A lot of goods and agricultural products come in and out here every day and every night.
This place is only slightly inferior to Pingyu Road Fucheng.
Every day, the light is the lamp oil candle burning in the city that never sleeps, which is an astronomical number for ordinary people.
After the Baijia caravan arrived in Tanyang, Zhang Rongfang followed Yang Hongyan and drove the ox cart, and quickly found Yang Hongyan's parents who had arrived here ahead of time.
Er Lao rented a house here in advance.
After settling down his sister-in-law, Zhang Rongfang did not stop, and went straight to the Daoist Church branch in Tan Yang, Mingjing Palace, according to the contents of his master's letter.
The sun sets.
Zhang Rongfang carried the wish wheel and walked quickly through the three areas of Tanyang. I asked around to explore, and finally found the Jingjing Palace before the sun went down.
"I'm sorry to inform you that Zhang Ying, a Taoist from the Qinghe Palace, has come to transfer his nationality."
The Mirror Palace is smaller than the Qinghe Palace. Zhang Rongfang handed over the letter prepared by the master in advance to the Taoist guard, and then checked it carefully on the periphery.
There are only five buildings in this Taoist palace. The buildings are closely spaced, surrounded by red walls, and there is a lot of greenery inside. Some of the walls even have large shades of trees and creepers growing out.
In front of the Taoist Palace is a section of 100-level stone steps. On the stone steps, you can see a lot of pilgrims coming in and out.
After a while, the Taoist guard came out and bowed his hands to Zhang Rongfang.
"Senior brother, please come in, you need to go to the dormitory to register first."
"There is a Taoist friend." Zhang Rongfang returned the salute, and then followed the Taoist all the way in.
Entering the gate, first there is a white stone square with a wide view.
The ground of the square is paved with a huge Tai Chi figure.
Two of the Taoists are navigating back and forth in the Tai Chi diagram.
Zhang Rongfang glanced around, the speed of these two people should be around the third rank.
uses the most basic Yue-shaped talisman.
A group of Daoist disciples watched, applauding from time to time.
Obviously this is not a formal competition, maybe it is a private competition.
When the guide saw this, he also explained with a smile.
"Brother, is this the first time you have come to Tanyang?"
"Why did you say this?" Zhang Rongfang asked.
"Because this place in Tanyang has a strong style of martial arts, no matter the wealthy and noble families, they all love to send their children to various households.
I, the Palace of Mirrors, is also one of the best schools here. "
Zhang Rongfang suddenly became curious. If you want to settle down here, you must first understand the situation here.
"Then you dare to ask brother, what does the Tanyang sect say?"
"Tanyang Wulin, this sect, apart from the messy gangs and martial arts gymnasiums, there are four largest portals.
They are Dayang Temple, Tianxuan Palace, My Mirror Palace, and Black Ten Sect. ' explained the guide.
"These four sects are the forces in charge of the four major districts of Tanyang. And the central area is maintained by the thousands of households in Tanyang.
Of course, the strength of Qianhu’s forces is unmatched, and the suppression of thousands of garrisoned troops is the foundation of the order of the entire Tanyang. Lord Qianhu is ranked ninth rank, and there is nothing to say about force.
And Dayang Temple naturally belongs to Buddhism, Tianxuan Palace belongs to Zhenyi Sect, I belong to Mingjing Palace Dao Sect, and Black Ten Sect is believed by those blond and blue-eyed Huxi people, and there are many masters. "
"So it is." Zhang Rongfang nodded in understanding.
"So, because I, Tan Yang, have a strong style of martial arts, I often set up bonuses in the competition arena and find someone to fight.
The winner can get a lot of money, sign a high-priced employment contract, or a family advisor, or a wealthy business guard, or a big family teacher. Treatment is not bad.
I think my brother is also a martial artist, right? "
The guide asked with a smile.
"Yes." Zhang Rongfang nodded with a smile.
"That's it. If you have the opportunity, you can also go out for a stroll, and there will be a stage from time to time in this city.
But be careful, the arena often has to sign a life and death certificate. Daling respects the customs and rules of various sects. Once the life and death certificate is signed in the arena, if you lose, the government will not care. "The guide road person kindly reminded.
"Thank you, brother for reminding me." Zhang Rongfang nodded and smiled.
Not long after, the two came to the dormitory one after the other.
Xu Tao, the deacon of the dormitory, is a chubby Huxi with white skin and a small yellow beard on his lips that is quite conspicuous.
When Zhang Rongfang entered the dormitory, this person was still holding the letter of introduction and scrutinizing it.
"Well, since it's from the Qinghe Palace, let's enter the martial arts first. Brother Zhang Xuan's introduction, how about going to the inspection room?"
He didn't even ask Zhang Rongfang's grade, he just smiled.
Zhang Rongfang took a look and knew that it was the master who made the arrangements ahead of time.
hurriedly clasped his fists.
"Disciple is willing. Thank you uncle for settling down. Dare to ask uncle what you call him?"
"My surname is Xu Mingtao, and my name is heavy. I owed Zhang Xuan a favor. Now that you are here, as an elder, I should settle down properly."
Xu Tao squeezed his beard and smiled.
"Then thank you uncle!" Zhang Rongfang wrote down the opponent's name. It seems that in the Palace of Mirrors, I am afraid that I will have to trouble the elder in front of me more.
"You're welcome." Xu Tao quickly arranged for Zhang Rongfang to transfer his Taoist status, and then sent someone to take him to settle down.
After Zhang Rongfang left, he picked up the letter again and stroked his beard.
The relationship between him and Zhang Xuan is actually normal, but as he said, he owed Zhang Xuan a favor at the beginning.
Now, help people to place Taoist status and arrange jobs. In this way, the favor will be repaid.
"Master, then this Senior Brother Zhang Ying, if you find him again in the future," Xiaoyun, a disciple on the side, asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry about it. Helping to transfer Taoist status and settling positions is enough to change the favor of the year. Hey, there are many people who want to come to Mingjing Palace to take a temporary post. How many can come in?
When the boy settles down, he will naturally understand how much I have paid back. "
This settling Taoist status and position, if you take it out to exchange benefits with others, if you don’t have a thousand taels, then don’t even think about it.
"Understood."
On the other side, Zhang Rongfang quickly settled in the disciple's room and put down his luggage.
began to visit the entire Palace of Mirrors.
As the Taoist guide said, this place is full of Taoists fighting with each other.
Occasionally, pilgrims and tourists can even be seen making hands with each other.
But on the whole, most of them have no rank, or the shooting speed of the second rank and the first rank is much stronger than that of Qing and Gong, but it is also limited.
After wandering around for a while, Zhang Rongfang did not hesitate and found the Lingguan Hall immediately.
The abnormality of the master and senior brother made him a little worried.
Now his talisman of Huichunjingshi has entered the second rank in talisman.
also happens to be able to go to the rank and temporary post.
Zhang Rongfang is very clear that although he has the speed of fifth rank now, if he is pulled away, a crossbow arrow may kill him.
But if you want to rely on martial arts to resist crossbow and firearms alone, without wearing a full set of protective heavy armor, you can't even think about it.
As for the full set of heavy armor, Lingting stipulates that only generals who are on temporary duty in the military are eligible to wear it.
Among the Taoist gates, there are also many monks and Taoists who are temporarily serving as military generals.
Therefore, it is the right way to join the military through Taoism, and then get the qualification to wear armor.
Moreover, only by ascending to a high position as much as possible and mastering more resources and power, can you gain the accumulation of attributes and come into contact with more superior martial arts.
Unlike low-grade martial arts, high-quality martial arts are not taught by hand, and a single mistake may be a thousand miles away.
This is not useful for collecting martial arts cheats.
without hesitation.
Zhang Rongfang pinpointed the Hall of Lingguan and stepped into it.
Compared with the Hall of Fortune and the Hall of Xuanxin, the Hall of Lingguan is less crowded, and a square arena is arranged between the gate and the statue.
The arena is one meter high, made of logs stacked one by one, surrounded by animal skins and iron-clad wooden pillars.
On the right side of the arena, Yi Lao Dao was sitting by the wall and dozing off. The two little Taoists were chatting in a low voice.
When one of them saw Zhang Rongfang entering the door, he quickly stood up.
"This Senior Brother, is something wrong?"
"Come down and grade." Zhang Rongfang said bluntly.
Up to now, his talisman has broken the limit, Yue-type talisman and vitality talisman, first set the first rank, and then wait for a while and then set the second rank no problem.
After the grading is completed, you can go to the Qianhu Office for temporary employment. Even if you have an official body, although it is only the lowest official body, this is the beginning.
"Grading." The trail nodded, turning around and running behind the statue as usual.
After a while, he walked out with a middle-aged Taoist with sleepy eyes.
The middle-aged Taoist jumped on the stage, and waved to Zhang Rongfang.
"How many items are ordered?"
"Yipin." Zhang Rongfang replied, stepped forward and jumped onto the ring.
"Twelve taels of grading fee, remember to pay it in later." The middle-aged Taoist reminded.
"Yes."
"how old are you?"
"Seventeen."
"How long have you been practicing martial arts?"
"A year and a half."
"Haha." The middle-aged Taoist smiled, too lazy to talk nonsense.
Take a look at the calluses on the hands of this guy on the opposite side. Without more than five years of hard work, he can't come out at all. That's it, I'm too embarrassed to say that it is a year and a half of the first rank, the cow is not so bragging.
There is no authenticity at all, and others will not believe it.
As for age, you can be as old as you want, as long as you are happy.
He didn't bother to ask any more. Yipin didn't have the foundation of ten years of hard training, so don't even think about it, not to mention the cost of various medicinal herbs to nourish qi and blood.
After a while, Zhang Rongfang walked out of the Hall of Lingguan, and he had a document in his hand that certified the first-grade product. It was covered with ink pad, and he pressed the fingerprint of the certifier.
and paid an extra 12 taels of silver.
At this point, he only had the last five taels of silver left.
With all kinds of expenses along the way, he didn't save any money.
But with the first grade of documents, he can directly go to the Qianhu Office to receive his salary.
If you can get the real shortage at that time, you will be able to get more money.
After all, now he is Zhang Ying from the north, not Zhang Rongfang, a savage scholar.

In the inspection room.
The owner of the house, Kaishan Daoist, leaned his legs on the table, a round cap was placed on his face, and he was dozing off.
dong dong dong.
Suddenly there was a knock on the table.
Daoist Kai took off his hat and squinted to look in front of him.
"Xu Tao? Anything?"
The person here is Xu Tao, the deacon of the dormitory.
"Help me stuff someone." Xu Tao handed over a document. "I remember that you are just short of two people here, right?"
"It's been made up." Kaishan yawned.
"Which two are you making up for?"
"Xu Chengjing and Liao Yong."
