In this world and this era, although people's lives are not so messy and difficult because of the use and popularization of Reiki.

However, the social structure is still deformed.

Slaves, serfs, refugees, beggars, vagrants...etc. are still everywhere in this world.

At least the Li family's domestic servants and maids have a higher status than common people, a higher standard of living, and they look good, but their status cannot be said to be free people.

If something happens to the Li family in the court one day and King Zhou wants to punish them, none of the servants will be able to escape. Even if they don't die, they will have to go to the mines and official kilns.

Therefore, Li Jing, as the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan, must be well aware of the fact that a place like [Night Market] is not only immoral, but also has black and white transactions.

But as a decent person like him, he can acquiesce in the existence of this place, which means that there is a reason why this place has to exist...

"Sir, does my father also have a share of the benefits of this night market?" Xing Ke asked while eating the fish meat on a bamboo plate.

"There must be some, but Li Jing doesn't care about the spiritual stones and gold shells of these small businessmen, hawkers, and madams. What he really cares about is the [fishing market]." Taiyi thought for a moment and replied.

While they were talking, they had already taken the road and arrived at the pier on the coast.

The first thing that catches the eye is a scene of lively and noisy——

A group of huge fishing boats entered the dock in the dark and began to unload their cargo. In the hoisted fishing nets, plump sea fish were dumped directly to the ground.

Then, there were many fish workers who obviously had night vision spells activated in their eyes, but they sorted, packed, bled, and then threw them directly onto the cold truck cabinets next to them.

Finally, the refrigerated trailers braving the cold gathered in a brightly lit market.

——This popularity is more than three times more lively than on the street just now.

“Chentangguan is located in a natural harbor, and fishing is the real pillar industry.

And because of their high cultivation, high spiritual energy content, fish with delicious meat are often like monsters, they come out at night, and the meat is also fresh and good. Therefore, the bulk fishing business naturally moves to the night." Taiyi said as he spoke.

, while pinching his nose.

The smell of fish and blood around here is really strong.

"So, [Night Market] is just a supporting industry of [Fishery Market]?" Xingke suddenly realized the reason.

There are more people working at night, which means that there are more people who need to eat, drink and have entertainment at night, so night markets are naturally born.

It does not mean that some small gray industry transactions can be banned directly.

"The fish market in Chentangguan provided nearly 30% of the seafood supply for the Shangtang Dynasty. Businessmen from various inland places and even Chaoge City came here to buy fish.

Is this the so-called [a mixed bag of fish and dragons]?”

Taiyi smiled after saying that, led Xingke to see the fish market and left directly.

They are not here specifically to buy fish, not to mention that Taiyi is not a local, he is just well-informed, and even Xingke is closer to the concept of locals than him.

He, a person from Jinguang Cave in Qianyuan Mountain, was introducing the specialties of Chentangguan to a person from Chentangguan. What was going on?

Chentangguan is located in a natural harbor, but that does not mean that all along the coast of Chentangguan is a natural harbor.

As long as you walk a little further along the coastline, the terrain will become steeper, the sea will be full of rocks, the waves will be very fast, and most importantly... there will be all kinds of monsters and ghosts.

"I'm just cultivating an immortal. Is it so troublesome? Is it possible that I have to run so far to the beach every night from now on?"

Xingke looked at Taiyi holding the fly whisk in his hand, and a path opened between the rocks and vines in front of him, and said depressedly.

Just now, he saw a huge sea scorpion that had been hiding somewhere and quickly fled away - it was dirty, messy, and full of bugs. He didn't want to stay in a place like this for a whole night.

"You, a pampered young man, don't even want to take two steps? But even I can't think of any inaccessible and precious cultivation land."

As a teacher, Taiyi suddenly felt that there were some problems with Xingke’s ideological construction:

"No one knows how much disaster you will bring to the surrounding areas once you let go of your practice, so before you can control yourself, it is better to stay away from human gathering places."

Xing was speechless. He no longer believed in some fairy tales about the protagonist going on an adventure in the wilderness when his cultivation level was not high.

Anyway, he doesn't want to travel far away from home until he has the ability to protect himself from dirt and dust, water and fire, and evil spirits.

Doing penance and so on are just looking for sin.

A star with no deep hatred or lofty ideals would be more disdainful of this.

"By the way, sir, are there any monsters around?" Xingke suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Monsters? There are a lot of them, but they are all little shrimps. Anyone with a slightly stronger sense of my existence would have run away long ago." Taiyi said in an air of anger.

"Can you catch one for me?"

"Why are you catching monsters?" Taiyi wondered, stretched out his hand to grab, and a palm-sized "little shrimp" that walked upright appeared tremblingly in his palm.

"Is it really a little shrimp?"

Xing Ke just thought that the shrimps Taiyi mentioned were a metaphorical figure of speech, but he didn't expect that it was actually shrimps, that is, krill.

Xingji didn't look too much, and directly stretched out a finger to point at the tentacles of the trembling Xiamijing. With Taiyi here, he was not afraid of Xiaoxiami's counterattack.

Then, Xing Ke secretly performed the exercises, and an unrivaled attraction spread from Xing Ke.

With just one breath, Xiao Xiami changed from struggling to escape in the beginning to a motionless state. Then his size began to shrink rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he changed from a palm-sized shrimp to one only as big as a mung bean, a real "little shrimp".

"Shrimp" form.

"...Be sure not to do this to human monks, unless you really want to become a public enemy of the world."

Taiyi was a little surprised.

At that moment, the shrimp in his hand that had accumulated more than fifty years of cultivation was gone.

The spiritual energy rooted in every corner of its demonic body was sucked dry without any resistance.

In an instant, he fell from a little fairy back to the mortal world.

Terrifying ability, what kind of existence am I teaching as a teacher? Taiyi couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

"I know, I know. I'm not a murderer."

To be honest, Xingke has never been the kind of person who likes to kill people with his own hands. Being able to eliminate people with his own hands is an honor like winning a lottery.

Of course, before cleaning up any humanoid garbage, Xingji always expels the other party from membership first.

"I hope you really know."

Taiyi suddenly felt that the fact that he took Xingke out of the confines of Li Mansion today and broadened his horizons seemed to open some kind of box full of disasters.
