Mysterious World Tour

Chapter 190: Not a getaway fee (2nd update)

The little princess turned her head and stared at Tan Mo with wide eyes.

Her curved eyelashes blinked, and her big black and white eyes had obvious meaning.

Tan Mo spread his hands and said, "It's useless to stare at me. King Teng really can't control Renjia Town."

He was telling the truth.

No one would take care of King Teng's orders once they left Ningjia County, and sometimes they didn't work in Ningjia County.

"Humph!"

The little princess snorted, then turned her head and threw the reins hard.

The horse immediately accelerated and ran.

Fortunately, Tan Mo had expected this to happen, and hugged her tightly, which prevented him from being thrown off the horse.

...

The buildings in Renjia Town are very grand, with large mansions and shops with flying eaves everywhere, and even the streets are paved with bluestone bricks, thanks to the big gold mine discovered near Renjia Town in the early years.

Those gentry and wealthy families became rich because of this.

Especially during the chaotic times, the Qing Dynasty collapsed, and all the gold dug out of the gold mines went into the pockets of the gentry.

Even the lives of the lower-class civilians in Renjia Town were still as hard as they should be, with no food to eat and no change.

As for beggars, they were everywhere in Renjia Town in the past. After all, there were many refugees in the chaotic times, and they could only beg on the streets because they had no way to make a living.

But as the gunshots of the security team in the town rang, a few bodies were thrown into the mass grave and eaten by a group of wild dogs, and all the beggars who were still alive fled Renjia Town.

The gentry in Renjia Town knew that the security team of a few hundred people alone could not resist the bandits who rebelled against the king. After discovering the gunpowder gun, they invested heavily, so the gunpowder guns in Renjia Town were much more advanced. Naturally, they were not threatening to demons and ghosts, but they were very threatening to living people.

Even if they were martial arts masters who had practiced martial arts for many years, they would not be able to escape death if the security team of more than a dozen people fired together.

This gave the gentry in Renjia Town a great deterrent.

Among them, Master Ren was the most powerful.

The Ren family was undoubtedly the largest gentry in Renjia Town, comparable to Li Yuanhe, a half-great scholar in Jinghe County. However, as the Ren family branched out and split into several households, they moved to other places, and there were gentry families with other surnames. There was a Huang Yuanwai who could compete with Master Ren in Renjia Town.

Tan Mo and the little princess were already in Renjia Town, but not in the town, but in the countryside near Renjia Town.

After going the wrong way twice and almost getting lost, the two finally found a charity cemetery.

The charity cemetery was originally a place for people who died in a foreign land to place their bodies, so that their families would have time to collect them and take the bodies back to bury them. However, now that the rebel kings are everywhere and the world is in chaos, this charity cemetery is naturally useless.

The charity cemetery in Renjia Town was originally like this. With the abandonment, many strange rumors were spread.

Someone went to investigate, and two people died.

This made the people of Renjiazhuang panic for a while.

However, later, before the gentry of Renjiazhuang discussed how much money to pay to hire someone to treat it, a very resourceful Taoist priest came, cleaned up the Yizhuang, and moved in.

The Taoist priest stayed there for several years, and he was fine, and those strange rumors gradually disappeared.

As for the inexplicable deaths, although there were still some, they had nothing to do with the Yizhuang, so the people in Renjiazhuang thought that the Taoist priest was a master, so they didn't invite anyone to come.

In fact, this Taoist priest is really a master.

His cultivation has reached the late stage of Liuyu.

It's a pity that if you want to break through the Three Talents realm, unless you have the top bloodline, it will be extremely difficult and require an opportunity that you can't ask for.

This Taoist priest was stuck, and he was stuck for many years and couldn't break through.

"Xiao Muyu, isn't the charity cemetery for collecting corpses? Do you think this one will be collected?" Standing at the entrance of the charity cemetery, the little princess suddenly asked Tan Mo.

What she was talking about was naturally the human skin of Meng Tingzhang sealed in the bowl.

Tan Mo glanced at her.

This is what your father asked me to come here. You shouldn't ask me this question, but your father! While complaining in her heart, Tan Mo said, "I think it is collected? Senior brother can't let me go for nothing."

"But my father said that Uncle Lianhua is not reliable." The little princess said hesitantly.

"We are here, are we going back?" Tan Mo wanted to roll his eyes. This Prince Teng and his senior brother were either insulting each other or on the way to insult each other.

The little princess thought about it, then nodded her head vigorously, "Hmm."

"What?" Tan Mo was confused.

"Go back!" The little princess turned around and seemed to be going back.

Tan Mo rolled his eyes, without hesitation, pulled this guy inside.

"Why are you pulling me?" The little princess asked with a strange look on her face.

"Are you really going back right away?" Tan Mo felt that he was not feeling well.

"We can go play nearby for a few days first, and then go back." The little princess suggested happily that this was her idea from the beginning.

"Did you bring money?" Tan Mo looked at her with a squint.

"You did, Uncle Lianhua gave you a lot, fifty taels of silver!"

"This is my errand fee, don't even think about it." Tan Mo said, and dragged this guy in without saying anything.

Then Tan Mo found that this charity house was not small, and it was not the common quadrangle-like appearance, but was divided into two courtyards, front and back, with two entrances and two exits, only a little weaker than the gentry's house.

Such a charity house occupies a large area.

Tan Mo looked inside and saw a lot of coffins in the front yard. Some were closed, some were without lids, some were half-open, and some were only half-open. However, they were not dirty. There were no cobwebs or dust on these coffins, which showed that they were cleaned regularly.

Further inside was a hall. In front of the hall was an incense burner with long incense sticks that had not yet burned out. Wisps of light purple smoke continued to rise.

"Junior Brother Ming Wuyan, why are you here?" Suddenly, a laugh sounded from the backyard, and then a Taoist came out.

"Hello, Brother Lin." Tan Mo put his hands together and saluted.

"Junior Brother Ming Wuyan, you are too polite. Thanks to you for helping me solve my doubts last time, otherwise I would still be trapped by the past." Taoist Lin came out with a slightly righteous square face and a bit of gratitude.

Tan Mo thought about it and couldn't remember what he said to Taoist Lin at that time, but he remembered that he made it up, so he quickly skipped the topic.

"I dare not take credit for it. It is Brother Lin who has extraordinary wisdom." Tan Mo said hurriedly.

"Haha, Junior Brother Ming Wuyan is too polite. I wonder what Junior Brother came to me for?" When Master Lin heard Tan Mo praising him like this, although his expression was normal, there was still a bit of joy between his eyebrows.

No one doesn't like to hear good words.

Tan Mo then took out the bowl and told the truth.

"It turned out that Senior Brother Lianhua subdued an alien. This is easy to handle. Junior Brother, follow me and put this bowl up. I will check the seal of this place every day to ensure that it is foolproof."

After Master Lin finished speaking, he added: "Oh, by the way, the fee for suppressing it is fifty taels, and the term is one year. When it expires, it must be renewed, otherwise I can only find someone to send it back. I think Junior Brother Ming Wuyan knows this rule, so I don't need to explain it in detail."

Tan Mo: "..."

No, I don't know!

Tan Mo finally understood why his senior brother was so generous this time and gave him fifty taels of silver. It turned out that this was not just a fee for running errands at all!
