Chapter 43 The Way to Survive
Jiang Lang nodded, keeping Uncle Tiezhu's words in mind, and then changed the topic and said: "By the way, where are we going to sell so many goods in our fleet?"
Hearing this, Uncle Tiezhu became more energetic and replied: "There is a special market in the city to purchase various animal skins and bones from the wilderness.
There are all kinds of things sold there, and I heard that occasionally there are cultivation techniques and elixirs, but these things are all valuable, and you can learn more about them later."
"Fangshi, we're here."
After the motorcade walked on the street for a while, suddenly, Uncle Tiezhu, who was leading the team at the front, stopped and pointed to an open and lively place ahead.
Jiang Lang glanced around. At this moment, the entrance to Fang City was crowded with people. All the convoys coming here were queuing up to enter one by one.
Looking around, Jiang Lang suddenly noticed a towering pavilion in the distance, which was taller than all the houses. It stood there like an unsheathed sword, majestic and outstanding.
What is very strange is that at the top of the attic, there is a raised platform, which is in the shape of an unfolded lotus and is extremely huge.
This conspicuous and peculiar building immediately caught Jiang Lang's attention, and he asked: "What is that attic for?"
Uncle Tiezhu followed his line of sight and explained: "It's the sky dock where the flying boat is docked. That's also the area where the city lord lives. We ordinary people can't get close to it."
"Sky pier..."
Jiang Lang paused and said: "Is the flying boat a flying ship in the sky?"
Uncle Tiezhu introduced: "Yes, the flying boat is a kind of flying treasure controlled by practitioners. It is said that such a big thing can travel thousands of miles a day, so only this kind of flying treasure can cross the wilderness and go
Toward the Pure Land.
The trade between the Great Wilderness and the Pure Land relies on flying treasures such as flying boats.
However, flying boats are not only extremely difficult to refine, but also expensive. There are no flying boats here in the wilderness. The flying boats you can see all come from the pure land outside."
"Pure land?"
"The so-called pure land is the place where humans live outside the wilderness. It is a place that is not polluted by the black mist."
Speaking of the latter part, a trace of longing flashed in Uncle Tiezhu's eyes, and then he sighed and said: "The Pure Land is a holy land for practitioners, and it is also a place that people here in the wilderness dream of.
But ordinary people like us will not be able to go there in this life."
After hearing these words, Jiang Lang was shocked. He didn't expect that there was a pure land outside the wilderness.
Jiang Lang glanced past the aerial dock and looked at the sky in the distance, with a look of yearning in his eyes.
If he had not accepted the inheritance and accidentally embarked on the path of spiritual practice, he might not have thought too much about it, but now that he is also a practitioner, he naturally has the idea of going to a broader sky.
It's just a thought, he doesn't have the capital to go to the Pure Land now.
Suddenly, a burst of noise and scolding interrupted Jiang Lang's thoughts.
"Want to leave? Old man, did you know that you just met me in a carriage?
Tell me, how should I compensate?"
"Don't be so messy, it's obviously you who bumped into me."
"Okay, old man, if you hit someone and you dare to make such a quibble, I'll give you a beating.
See if I don’t teach you a lesson!”
A thunderous sound suddenly sounded, and then Jiang Lang saw an old man fly backwards and hit the ground hard, making no movement.
"Get up quickly, don't think you can escape this way."
A bald man in Chinese clothes rushed over immediately and glanced coldly at the old man on the ground.
At this time, the old man's clan members ran forward to investigate the situation. Suddenly their faces turned pale, and then their eyes turned red, and they said sadly and angrily: "You...you killed the third grandfather!"
"Don't blackmail me. This old man fell to the ground by himself and doesn't care about my business at all."
The bald man looked slightly flustered, but his words were very tough and he tried to push the matter away.
He didn't expect that the old man in front of him was so weak and so unbeatable that he killed him with just one punch.
Today is really unlucky!
Many people gathered and talked a lot.
"I beat someone to death."
"Someone actually broke the rules of the big city."
……
At this moment, before anyone arrived, a majestic voice came over.
"Whoever dares to take action in Black Rock City is so brave!!"
This movement also attracted the Flying Dragon Rider who was responsible for maintaining order.
The crowd dispersed on both sides, and a flying dragon rider walked slowly over, with sharp eyes and astonishing power.
"What's going on?"
The flying dragon rider casually swept the old man on the ground, without asking his clansmen, but looked at the well-dressed bald man.
The bald man looked respectful and said: "Sir, it's like this. I was just walking on the road, and this old man drove the carriage and bumped into me on purpose.
Then I argued with him. In desperation, I pushed him gently and he fell to the ground."
"He confuses right and wrong, and everyone can see it. The third grandfather did not collide with him, but he..."
The old man’s clan members were angry and retorted.
But before he finished speaking, the flying dragon rider interrupted impatiently: "Did I ask you?"
Immediately afterwards, he looked at the bald man and said: "It seems that the facts are clear. Both parties are at fault, but you hit too hard and must be punished.
Let's do this, you just lose some money and the matter ends here."
The old man's clan members said unwillingly: "How can this be so? Third Grandpa is not wrong!"
"What, do you have any objections to my penalty?"
The flying dragon rider's eyes shot out with a cold light, making the other party stay silent and dare not say anything.
The bald man's face showed joy, "Thank you for dealing with it fairly."
"This will never happen next time."
After giving a little warning, Fei Longqi walked away.
There were people whispering around, and Jiang Lang relied on his keen sense of consciousness to find out from these words that the bald man was a local snake in the city and knew all the flying dragon riders.
Only then did he know why the matter was handled so unfairly.
It seems that the big city is not as beautiful as he imagined, and there are too many dangers, which are the same dangers he faced when hunting in the mountains.
If there is any fundamental difference, it is just that the dangerous object is changed from a ferocious beast to a human.
Daniel was filled with righteous indignation and said: "They all killed people and were punished. They just paid compensation.
Uncle Tiezhu, didn’t you say that according to the rules of Black Rock City, if you kill someone, you must pay for it with your life?”
"Those rules are binding on us, they are not included here."
Uncle Tiezhu's mouth showed a hint of ridicule, and then he said helplessly: "The only way for us to survive here is to be careful and not to offend these distinguished people. In the eyes of these people, our lives from the mountains are worth nothing.
Not much money.
