"Senior brother, although Qianqiu Town is small, it has all internal organs!"

Chu Zheng was riding on a tall horse, and said to Huo Feiying beside him.

"That's right, although this Qianqiu Town has a small population, it's still an important place by land and water. There are also merchants coming and going. Naturally, it's much more prosperous than ordinary towns!" Huo Feiying also explained on the side.

Indeed, from Chu Zheng's point of view, although this small town only has a few streets, its prosperity is already comparable to some small counties on the earth. This is a world similar to ancient times!

There is a main road in Qianqiu Town, the street is not too long, one end is the gate of the town, and the other end is a water and land wharf. The town is built along the Qiushui River, surrounded by water on one side and protected by city walls on three sides.

Yes, such a small town is also protected by a city wall. Without this city wall, the scene here must not be so prosperous. The tall city wall is not only a real protection, but also a line of defense in the hearts of the people in the town!

This was the first time Chu Zheng walked out of the Blood Sword Gate after more than a month. He was also a little tired of staying in the Blood Sword Gate, and this time he was able to go out only after his senior brother Huo Feiying came out to collect the "security fee", and he got his father's permission.

"Brother, how do you collect this 'security fee'? Do you ask for it one by one?" Chu Zheng asked curiously.

"Of course not! How can I be so vulgar in my life. Of course I'm drinking tea and waiting for someone to bring it to me!" Huo Feiying said with a smile.

After talking, the two came to a restaurant on the street. Immediately, Xiao Er came out to lead the horse and say hello.

"Master Huo! You are here! Please come inside!" Xiao Er smiled obsequiously, and then said to Chu Zheng, "Young Master is here too! I haven't seen the Young Master for a while!"

Chu Zheng said with a smile: "How long is the time?"

It was just a joke at first, but unexpectedly, the little girl thought about it and said, "It's been forty-two days!"

Huo Xiong was taken aback, and said suspiciously: "Is it true?"

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Forty-two days ago, you and the young master of the Dong family were fighting crickets here. I remember this very clearly."

Chu Zheng thought about it suddenly, there is such a thing! "I didn't expect you, the little girl, to remember it so clearly! Check it out!" After speaking, Chu Zheng threw out a penny.

Xiao Er quickly took the money with his eyes and hands, and the smile on his face was even bigger. Shouting repeatedly: "The door is full of distinguished guests, take your seat and serve!"

Chu Zheng couldn't help smiling when he saw this, the Xiaoer here not only has good eyesight, but also is smart and sensible. Being able to tell how long I haven't been here in one gulp shows that I keep myself in my heart. This service makes the guests very comfortable!

The restaurant that Chu Zhenglai came to was called "Xiankelai". Although the name was very vulgar, it was a big restaurant! As mentioned earlier, although Qianqiu Town is small, it has all internal organs! This restaurant is doing business with guests, and the scale is not small.

Xiao Er welcomed the two of them to the private seat on the third floor, and then went down to make arrangements. After the people left, Huo Feiying spoke up: "Junior brother, don't think about those cricket playthings all day long! This world is difficult, ordinary people are suffering, and rich people are often drunk and dreamy. You should lose your fighting spirit, you should fight this world, and it would not be a waste of our martial arts!"

Huo Feiying grew up beside Chu Huo, the one who watched Chu Zheng grow up. For this junior brother, he treats him as his own brother.

If it was the former Chu Zheng, he would be dissatisfied with Huo Feiying's preaching. But Chu Zheng is different now. He nodded and said, "Senior brother taught me the lesson! I have the resources and the ability, so I shouldn't be addicted to playthings. I won't do it in the future!"

Seeing Chu Zheng's attitude, Huo Feiying also smiled in relief. Said: "Brother, it's good to think like this! If there is anything you don't understand in practice, you can come and ask me. Although the brother has not yet entered the stage, he has been immersed in the Xuanxue sword technique for many years."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng asked: "Brother, I don't have much influence on the martial arts in the sect, you can introduce it to me!"

Huo Feiying shook his head helplessly, this little junior didn't like to practice martial arts before, and he didn't care about such things, but now he's asking! But that's a good thing after all. So he said: "Our sect is called the Blood Sword Sect, and this housekeeping skill is one-handed Xuanxue swordsmanship! Even if this swordsmanship is in the Huang-level swordsmanship, it is also an upper-level swordsmanship! It is famous for its fierce attacks and its invincibility.

In addition to this sword technique, there are Thunderbolt sword technique and Wudang sword technique. You know the thunderbolt swordsmanship, it is the one you learned, and it is good at speed. And Wudang swordsmanship is known for its strength and momentum, and it is simple and quick to get started. Most disciples in the sect practice this method! "

"Is there any mental method in that door? It's the kind of exercise that can cultivate mana, internal strength and so on." Chu Zheng asked curiously.

"We warriors practice strength, and only warlocks practice mana! Of course we have this kind of exercise! The weeping heart method practiced by the master is a method for practicing strength!" Huo Feiying said.

Chu Zheng didn't understand these things at all, so he asked quickly: "Then can I practice? And what about the entry you just mentioned?"

Huo Feiying took a sip of tea and said, "Only a martial artist who has practiced vigorously can be said to be an advanced martial artist! A martial artist is from the ninth rank to the first rank from low to high. As for you, it is not impossible to practice the Crying Blood Heart Technique, as long as Just ask your father! Others have to study and contribute to the practice of mind, and you are the son of the sect master, so of course you have preferential treatment!"

The two chatted for a while, Chu Zheng asked some more questions, and finally figured out a general idea.

A martial artist must practice hard to be considered a master. This strength is a kind of energy, which is a bit similar to the anger of warriors in games. Some moves need strength to activate, and attacks with strength will be more fierce, and the most important thing is that only attacks with strength can be Deal damage to goblins and ghosts!

At this moment, a voice sounded at the door: "But Lord Huo is inside?"

Huo Feiying heard the voice, and responded: "It's me, come in!"

As soon as his voice fell, someone pushed the door open and entered. The man bowed to Huo Feiying and nodded, and said, "Hi, Master Huo! I'm here to pay this month's 'security fee'!"

Huo Feiying nodded, took out a notebook from his pocket, and said, "Where is it from?"

The man immediately said: "Three yuan, one hundred and seventy-two households, Dingkou six hundred and forty-two people, three thousand two hundred and ten copper coins. Please count them!"

He respectfully handed over a bag, which was full of copper coins.

Huo Feiying just weighed it in his hands, then ticked off the account book and said, "Okay, the account is settled in three yuan!"

Hearing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and bowed to the two of them, and retreated.

"Five copper coins per person per month? It's not expensive!" Chu Zheng said.

"You don't know that, we don't collect this security fee for these few coins!" Huo Feiying said with a smile.

"Oh! Why is that?" Chu Zheng asked a little strangely.

"You don't know, this copper coin is circulated among everyone, it will be contaminated with popularity! And if this popularity accumulates, it will become a human force! This is what it means to have a large number of people! This human force can cause ghosts We must collect damage!" Huo Feiying explained.

"There is such a thing?" Chu Zheng said.

"That's right! The copper coins are collected and transported to Tianguang County in a unified way, where there are warlocks who can extract the popularity of the copper coins. After the popularity is extracted, the copper coins will be returned and put into circulation again to accumulate popularity!" Huo Feiying said.

"If it's just for money, how much money can these ordinary people get?" Huo Feiying said.

The two were talking, and people kept coming to pay money. Chu Zheng secretly calculated that there are more than ten thousand people in this small Qianqiu Town. Received nearly 60,000 copper coins.

Sixty thousand copper coins was quite a big bag, so Huo Feiying packed them together and put them aside. Then he said to Chu Zheng: "Eat first, and after we finish eating, we will collect money from rich families. These people have the most money!"

After a while, the food and wine were served, and the two of them ate and munched. Most of the martial arts practitioners are big-bellied men, and the dishes on this table were eaten by two people. After a short rest, the two left the restaurant and walked towards the big family's house in the town.

In Qianqiu Town, the Blood Sword Gate is far away from the town and alone. And because of the developed business in the town, there are also several large households. One of them is the Dong family, and the young master of this family is Dong Fugui who often fights with Chu Zheng!

The courtyards of the Dong family and other big families were all built by the river, where the place is open and the river is lined with trees. Their yards are huge.

The two came to Dong's house, and the guards of the Dong's house knew both of them, and let them in without notifying them.

Huo Feiying said: "I'll go talk to Mr. Dong's family, you can go and play with Dong Fugui yourself!" His eyes swept to the side, obviously he saw Dong Fugui walking over!

Chu Zheng nodded and watched Huo Feiying leave. After Huo Feiying left, Dong Fugui leaned forward and shouted: "Isn't this Young Master Chu Zheng, who finally dared to go out today?!"

Chu Zheng didn't speak, but looked Dong Fugui up and down. He was a tall man in this life, but he was bloated, and his chin had three layers! Even walking needs the help of the people next to me!

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have lost weight! Without my company, you will have eaten a few bowls less!" Chu Zheng knew that this person was most jealous of others talking about his weight, but the relationship between the two was not very good. The so-called exposing others and exposing their shortcomings is cursing others and scolding mistakes. Chu Zheng naturally did not show mercy.

Unexpectedly, Dong Fugui was not angry this time, but said with a smile: "I don't have the same knowledge as you, when will there be another big battle! My general Xuanjia is very hungry!"

"No need! I quit!" Chu Zheng said immediately.

Dong Fugui was taken aback by this sentence, and he immediately smiled and said, "I'd rather believe that sows fly in the sky, than believe that Chu Zheng doesn't fight crickets!"

He laughed for a while, and found that no one laughed with him, so he closed his mouth a little bored. Then he said to Chu Zheng: "Brother Zheng! Come to my yard! I'll show you a treasure!"

Hearing this, Chu Zheng cast a contemptuous glance at his Xiasanlu, and said disdainfully, "Your treasure is hidden in the meat, and you can't even find it. What's so interesting about it!"

Dong Fugui was taken aback for a moment, but before he could react, the two servants supporting him couldn't help laughing. Then he also realized something, his face flushed for a while, and he said angrily: "Chu Zheng! You bastard!"
