Chapter 1831 Ruins

After explaining some precautions, Zhang Yu went to report to the current leader Zhang He. After all, a few strangers suddenly appeared in the sect, and if the flowers were not notified clearly, it would easily cause misunderstandings.

“The accommodation here is pretty good, and we didn’t rush to stay in the inn outside.”

Although the courtyard where Liu Xing and others live is in a courtyard shape, it is divided into four single rooms of similar size, as well as a kitchen and a toilet. So Liu Xing can be said to be very satisfied with this, because it is definitely better to be able to sleep in a single room.

"Isn't that because I have face?"

Zhang Jingxu smiled and said, "If possible, I will stay at Zhangjiamen for the introductory test tomorrow. You will go around the city to see if there is anything worth noting. If so, we will go back and go again."

"No problem, I really want to go around such an ancient big city, but the walls of Boyang City are really outrageous. This height is at least the level of the capital in ancient China, and it has to be a relatively late dynasty. Because the construction level of early dynasties was relatively limited, it was quite difficult to build such a high city wall."

After looking around the yard, Ding Kun continued, "It seems that there should be many stone factories near Boyang City, because I noticed that the walls of Boyang City use a lot of large pieces of stone. On the way to Zhangjiamen, I also saw many houses with stones as the main body, and their number far exceeds those wooden houses!"

Compared to mining stones, it is definitely more convenient to log trees, so most ancient buildings in China were mainly made of wood, and combined with woodworking techniques such as mortise and tenon structures, wooden buildings are better than stone buildings in many aspects... Of course, it is more regrettable in dealing with fires, which has led to many ancient buildings being wiped out due to a fire.

"Is the stone factory? I have never heard of any stone factory near Boyang City, but this is normal. After all, our character cards are only active near Heshan County, so I only know that there is Boyang City, but it is normal that there is nothing near Boyang City."

Zhang Jingxu said seriously: "Even if it was me, when I was studying art in Tianfu Sect, I could not leave the gate and didn't get through the second gate, but this was related to my young age at that time; but I knew there was a Boyang Ruins north of Boyang City. If you have time, you can go there to take a look."

"Is Boyang Xu? Is Boyang City the former site of Boyang City? Just like the old Heshan County in the real world? Or is it a special place like Guixu? But this location is not marked on the previous map?" Ding Kun asked curiously.

Liu Xing smiled and explained to Zhang Jingxu: "In ancient times, this ruin is actually similar to the market. It can be said to be a market formed by spontaneous gatherings of people, but the scale of the ruins is generally a little larger than that of the city. Moreover, in ancient cities, some places did not have large-scale markets, that is, special commercial areas, and commercial activities in the city were basically carried out in stores. Street stalls are also the kind of place to buy food. Those who want to come to the city to sell their own vegetables and eggs, etc., can't find a suitable place to set up stalls, or the cost of setting up stalls is too high."

"So these people spontaneously formed a market outside the city, which is a bit like there are many people carrying loads to sell vegetables near the vegetable market. If it is some small towns, such markets usually set up stalls together, such as Monday, Wednesday and Friday every week, so that customers can make comprehensive purchases at this time, so as not to go so far after running out of the city, and they only buy a handful of onions, which is called rushing in the market in Rongcheng."

"In big cities, this kind of market will exist for a long time, just like the Heshan County where we are. Therefore, today's Heshan County should not be called Heshan City, but Heshan Ruins; of course, because the scale of this ruins is generally relatively large and the flow of people is very large, so most ruins can also be regarded as a black market, and there are many things that cannot be bought in the city. Of course, like fortune tellers, selling various Daliwan pills, etc., there are all kinds of people from all walks of life. After all, this ruins are not a serious market. They can be said to be soldiers who are fighting for iron markets."

"So the relationship between Boyang City and Boyang Xu is more subtle, because Boyang Xu exists only on Boyang City, but Boyang City is not easy to manage Boyang Xu. After all, the emergence of Boyang Xu was originally because many people were unwilling to enter Boyang City to set up stalls and sell goods, so they chose to build such a free market outside the city. However, the merchants in Boyang Xu, or most of the people selling goods, are nearby farmers and craftsmen. Although their shipments and sales are relatively low, they cannot resist the large number of people, so the daily turnover of Boyang Xu is not a small number."

"So no matter whether it is Boyang Ruins or the Jiujiang Sanxu and Six Markets that have appeared in the real world, nearby towns are willing to let it go, but the person in charge of this market still has to pay a certain amount of money to him; however, the money here is not normal taxes, because even the person in charge of the market cannot figure out what the daily transaction volume on his territory is, so he can only pay an approximate amount."

Speaking of this, Liu Xing touched his chin and smiled sinisterly, "So if we want to buy something, it's best to go to Boyang Ruins to take a look, because the things there will be cheaper, but we may also be deceived. After all, there are all kinds of people in Boyang Ruins; but in this martial arts module, there is a chance to buy a magic weapon at a low price, or a martial arts practice notes left by a hero, or even a martial arts secret book. Because there is a sect behind the hero, the equipment they exposed for various reasons cannot enter the market under normal circumstances."

Liu Xing's words made Zhang Jingxu and the other two lit up their eyes, because it was like finding a bargain in the antique market. If you could spend 100 yuan to buy an antique, the surprise was indescribable, not to mention that there would be a different sense of accomplishment. After all, you have found a treasure that others have misunderstood.

Of course, buying martial arts secrets and magic weapons in the market in this martial arts module will have a sense of excitement than buying antiques. Because according to the rules set by the New Dragon Empire and major sects, no matter what the reason the sects die, the person who gets the items they have left must hand them over to the martial arts platform in nearby towns. The martial arts platform will also return these items to the sects to which the sect belongs as soon as possible. Some of the private items will be returned to the relatives of the martial arts member, and the items involved in the sect will be handled by the sects themselves, but the relatives of the martial arts member will also be given some condolences as appropriate.

Of course, if you are the one who returns the items, then after you make sure that you have not kept the items privately, the martial arts station will also give you a bonus when receiving the receipt, and if you want to join certain sects, you can also get preferential treatment... However, if you simply start from the perspective of interests, then you can sell the things you picked up directly, which will definitely get more benefits, because even the last-minute gangsters, the weapons they have in their hands can be sold for a lot of money.

What's more, those martial arts secrets.

The martial arts secrets are often read. Many new moves are inspired by the existing moves. Therefore, when many people in the martial arts world travel around the world, they always hold a martial arts secret book at hand. They can take a look at it carefully when they have nothing to do, and then gesture.

In short, if this is another game, then if you solve a person in the martial arts world halfway, the equipment he will 100% reveal is a weapon plus a martial arts secret book, of course it can also be said to be a study notes! And if this weapon can be sold for ten taels of silver, then this martial arts secret book will have to be sold for at least twenty taels of silver, and the highest is directly to the three-digit number.

So for ordinary people, if you can pick up equipment that a person from the world on the road, then you just need to go to the nearby market and sell it and get the money you may not be able to make in 20 years under normal circumstances! If you are lucky, you can even return home in glory!

This is like you pick up a big gold bar on the roadside in the real world, a thousand-full gold.

Therefore, if you are an ordinary person who has not been able to join the sect but want to practice martial arts that are not a big road product, you can go to the ruins near your home or a larger market. Of course, this is best to go at night or on rainy days, because the black market will only appear at these times.

Of course, since there is a market, there will definitely be scammers, so some scammers will sell some weapons and martial arts secrets on the black market, so people will be caught every year. For example, in the memory of "Liu Peng", in Heshan County two years ago, a person bought a fake martial arts secret - an iron jacket, a martial art similar to an iron shirt, but it needs to be equipped with special potions to apply behind the body, and then cooperate with the mental method to make the skin as hard as the iron sheet.

As a result, the recipe for this potion was made up by a liar. In order not to let him spend a lot of money, the man knew about the secret recipe he bought for not spending a lot of money, and especially the pharmacy people knew about it, he went to several pharmacies to buy all the medicinal materials and make them into potions. As a result, he would have just dropped himself down on the first time he applied the potion. If his family hadn't heard the news and sent him to Liu Nan for medical treatment in time, the grave grass might have been more than one meter high now.

You should know that there are many toxic substances that do not need to be taken to take effect, but will cause problems as long as skin contact occurs, because the skin can directly absorb many ingredients.

"We have a lot of money on hand. We can indeed go to Boyang Ruins to see if there is any chance to pick up a bargain, but we still have to be careful, because places like this are really mixed, and we are the suckers that scammers want to meet the most."

Zhang Jingxu said, pointing to the kitchen and said, "So we have something tonight. Although we also ate some food in the carriage, I am still a little hungry now. And after we woke up in the middle of the night, we didn't have the best snacks."

"Then make some food."

Liu Xing rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's go, don't rest here, because a stove like this cannot be controlled by one person."

Liu Xing still remembers that when he was young, he used a pot of water to boil water with a few cousins ​​in his hometown to drink juice. As a result, this pot of water kept him busy for an hour because he had to get firewood and pull a bellows.

Fortunately, Zhangjiamen not only prepared the ingredients, but also prepared a lot of firewood, so Liu Xing and others only needed to light the stove to make a fire and cook... As a result, it took more than an hour to make a mess, and Liu Xing and others started eating on the table in the yard.

After all, the last time Liu Xing and others used this kind of earthen stove can be traced back to their age before they were in double dynasties, so it would be good to be able to make a decent meal.

While having supper, Liu Xing suddenly said, "That's right, I suddenly thought of one thing, that is, the farmers in this martial arts module have begun to improve the genes of various livestock and poultry, and the transformation of crops has begun to show results. So you said that if there are so many people who study agriculture among the players, will there be a chance to improve some better varieties? If this can be brought to the real world, then there will be a few prizes."

"It may not be enough time, because we can only stay in this martial arts module for about a year, and I remember that if you want to improve a crop variety, it will take more than a year. After all, many crops have relatively long planting cycles, even leeks are one crop a month, so several generations can be cultivated in this year."

Yoon shook his head and said, "And this benefit is nothing to us players, because we can really regard money as dirt. Even if this new variety of crops can bring us hundreds of millions of annual income, so what?"

Liu Xing smiled and said seriously: "Yun Eun, don't forget that after the martial arts module is over, we may have to participate in the modules that occur in the real world. This module is likely to be conducted in those Longteng hospitals, and the settings may also refer to the back room, which means we may appear in hospitals of different styles; then is there a possibility that there is not much food in the hospital? So we need to produce food on our own to maintain our normal diet."
