It was three quarters past the hour of Mao and the sky was just beginning to brighten.
There was already a long queue outside Huaiyang City, and the city guards at the gate were alertly checking the passes into the city one by one.
Shuanzhu is a farmer from a small village outside Huaiyang City. He has an older brother who works as a kitchen helper at Zuixianglou in the city. He used his connections to ask his brother to be responsible for the fresh vegetables needed by the restaurant every day, which can be considered a relatively stable source of income.
Most of the people who come into the city at this time every day are people like Shuanzhu who make a living. Most of them are vendors driving ox carts or peddlers carrying a shoulder pole.
Among this group of people wearing short brown clothes, the young man in the middle of the team wearing a blue robe is particularly eye-catching.
This man has a handsome face and extremely fair and delicate skin. Although the details of the fabric of the clothes he wears cannot be seen, it is clear that they are not ordinary.
At first glance, he is obviously a young man from a wealthy family who lives a life of luxury.
Jiang Lin stood in the middle of the crowd, knowing that many people were looking at him.
He was also looking at the people around him and the city gate in front of him.
These people were undoubtedly the most common people of this era. Jiang Lin looked at them and saw that most of them were wearing linen short brown clothes, their skin was a little dark due to long-term labor, but most of them had smiles on their faces, and they were not weak and skinny due to hunger.
And there were quite a few peddlers and stall owners among the people queuing.
It is obvious that people in this era lived a good life and business was quite developed.
The city gate is built with bricks and stones, it is tall and majestic and very imposing.
According to the system, the world is now ruled by a dynasty called Dasheng. Currently, this dynasty is very prosperous, the world is peaceful, the economy is booming, and the people are living a very good life.
However, this Great Sheng Dynasty had never appeared in the historical knowledge known to Jiang Lin.
But if you think about it carefully, even various monsters and gods have appeared, what does it matter if a dynasty that has never been seen before appears
Soon the line reached Jiang Lin.
He used a sleight of hand to deceive the guards and walked in calmly.
But at the same moment, an invisible barrier blocked him.
Jiang Lin was stunned and subconsciously waved his hand to break the barrier.
"Who are you that comes without notice?" A thunderous roar sounded overhead.
Jiang Lin saw a flash of light before his eyes, and two warriors in golden armor appeared.
They were wearing golden armor, and their faces looked intimidating without even being angry. One of them held a battle axe, and the other held a spear, and there was a faint golden light flashing on their bodies.
He is the gate god of Huaiyang City.
Jiang Lin was stunned at first, then he reacted all of a sudden: No wonder there are so many monsters and demons in this world, but they all hide in the wilderness and have no intersection with the human world at all.
Even in Huaiyang City, a medium-sized city that is not even a provincial capital, the city gate alone is guarded by two golden-armored war gods.
With the power of the barrier at the city gate and the divine power of these two golden-armored gods of war, ordinary monsters would not dare to get close.
He was thinking in his mind, but he didn't know that the two golden-armored gods were also looking at him.
The more they looked at it, the more serious the two gods became.
This monster, whose true form is unknown, is emitting a strong evil aura and is extremely murderous. It is obvious that he is quite powerful.
Therefore, even though this strange monster did not have much blood and energy, and had no sins committed, the two city gate gods did not dare to let their guard down, but they were much more polite in their words.
"Who is this demon? Do you have an official document from the Supervisory Office when you enter Huaiyang City?"
The Inspectorate? What is that
Jiang Lin asked the system, and the system was also at a loss: "I only have some background information related to the plot. The Great Sheng Dynasty predates the plot by hundreds of years, and I don't know the specific details."
Jiang Lin: “…”
Forget it, I’d better rely on myself.
He smiled gently, looking at the pure and kind-hearted, "Hello, two generals. My name is Jiang Lin, and I come from Baihu Mountain. This is my first time in the human world, and I want to see the customs and practices of Huaiyang City. We have many specialties in Baihu Mountain, and perhaps we can do some business with them."
At this point, he pretended to hesitate and asked, "What kind of place is this Supervisory Office?"
When the two generals heard that he didn't even know the Inspectorate, they were sure that this was a monster that had just emerged from the deep mountains and forests.
After listening to Jiang Lin's subsequent words, I felt amused, but also a little complacent and contemptuous.
It’s not that they look down on monsters, but they have seen countless monsters coming out of outside over the past few hundred years. They are all country bumpkins who eat raw meat and drink blood and have never seen the world. And they still want to make deals. What good things can those monsters in the remote areas deep in the mountains and forests have
Jiang Lin noticed the disapproval in the eyes of the two golden-armored gods.
He sneered in his heart but said nothing.
The golden-armored war god holding a battle axe on the left said, "You don't know that this Dasheng Dynasty is a human dynasty. The emperor of mankind has purple energy to protect his body and is blessed by immortals. As early as when the dynasty was first established, the Supervisory Department was established to recruit talented people from all over the world in order to prevent gods and demons with special powers from causing trouble."
This was pretty much what Jiang Lin had expected.
He then asked, "I have no intention of causing trouble, but I just want to see a different world. How should I deal with my situation?"
He was dressed elegantly and spoke in a refined manner, completely different from the expected mountain monster.
The two golden armored gods looked at each other, both with doubts in their hearts, and said politely: "Your Excellency needs to go to our Huaiyang City Supervisory Department branch to register and get a short-term residence card. When you go out these days, there will be staff from the Supervisory Department accompanying you."
This was close surveillance, fearing that he would take the opportunity to cause trouble. Jiang Lin understood this.
He was not disgusted by this. Instead, he was very interested in the Supervisory Department and felt that this management model was extremely advanced.
Under the guidance of the Golden Armored God, Jiang Lin went to the city's Supervisory Office and applied for a wooden identity badge. After registration, he could travel and live in Huaiyang City for one month.
He was even assigned a small courtyard.
The Supervisory Office sent a young Taoist priest named Chen Yu to follow him.
Jiang Lin took a look and found that the other party had a good cultivation level, but his expression was very arrogant.
"Mr. Jiang, Chen will be your guide for the next month."
Jiang Lin nodded: "Thank you."
On the first day, he wandered around Huaiyang City.
During this tour he discovered that the people of the Great Sheng Dynasty were indeed very wealthy, business was very developed, and most of the residents in the city wore brightly colored clothes.
There were also quite a few food stalls, but Jiang Lin discovered that although there seemed to be many varieties, most of them were various cakes and steamed foods.
He wanted to taste it, but was embarrassed to find that he had no money.
After thinking for a while, he told Chen Yu truthfully: "Friend Chen, I am very interested in these foods, but I don't have any money. I wonder if I can use this to exchange?"
He stretched out his hand, and in his palm lay an old ginseng of excellent quality.
Chen Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
He coughed and pretended to say, "This ginseng is of good quality and is worth ten taels of silver."
Jiang Lin's eyes suddenly turned cold.
