Chapter 487: Pond Street Rules
The water surface of the Lotus Pond is as calm as a mirror, without much wind, and the unmanned wooden boat floats back along the calm water surface.
It seemed that there was some magical force to push it forward, and the bow of the ship broke through the water surface, forming ripples like arrows.
Faced with such a strange scene, everyone on the shore began to retreat quickly, watching the floating wooden boat vigilantly.
In the history of Tangjie, there were once unmanned boats floating back for no reason, but many people died in Tangjie that time.
The wooden boat hit the bank of the lotus pond and never moved again.
For a moment, no one dared to go over easily, just standing in the distance and watching, and Zhou Fan was no exception.
After a while, when the merchants and the aristocratic family manager were willing to pay a reward, three bold warriors carefully leaned over to the wooden boat.
These three people were fully armed, and all kinds of anti-evil talismans, such as anti-evil talismans, were attached to their bodies or held in their hands.
When they approached, they found no abnormalities and then looked into the boat.
All three of them were stiffened for a while because of this.
"What's going on? What did you see? If you don't die, just answer." A family manager shouted at the three people.
The three warriors seemed to react. They turned around and shook their heads. The three of them looked a little low. One of them said, "There are five heads on the board."
Five people were covered in blood, their eyes wide open in fear, and seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying before their death.
Soon another warrior who had lived in Tang Street for a long time walked over and glanced. He shook his head with regret, "It's Gao Tian and the others."
The "Gaotian and the others" he mentioned were one of the two corpse-catching teams that had not returned since leaving the pond this morning.
Whispers rang out in the crowd.
Only then did Zhou Fan realize that the corpse-retrieval team led by Gao Tian was also considered to be extremely powerful among the corpse-retrieval team that came out of the pond today. Gao Tian alone had reached the marrow-retrieval stage.
But such an extraordinary corpse-catching team died in the lotus pond.
After confirming his identity, no one walked over to watch it. After all, no one knew whether the ship or the five heads would have curses or poison traps.
"Burn it." Someone in the crowd said.
This is the usual way to deal with Tangjie.
The four warriors looked at each other, and one of them threw out a talisman.
The talisman fell on the boat, and a sneered sound broke into a ball of fire. The flames filled the boat, and black smoke rose up.
The onlookers then slowly dispersed.
Although I feel it's a pity, the warriors who dare to come to Liantang originally lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, and it is common for death to be killed.
In history, people in Tang Street died overnight. It was not impossible for warriors to gather here like moths flying into flames for the rich benefits of Lotus Pond. Tang Street will eventually be built again.
The story of touching wealth is happening every moment.
Zhou Fan left the shore and the sky became dark.
The wooden poles on Tang Street lit up dark blue lanterns, and the entire Tang Street was shrouded in dark blue light.
The blue lanterns are engraved with runes, which can dispel the shadow monsters.
These lanterns were donated by merchants and families, and the reward they received was that they were qualified to purchase materials in Liantang, East Bank.
Similarly, if other merchants and family members want to come in, they must pay a portion of such money, of course, the premise is that those merchants in Tang Street, the managers of family members agree to accept it.
Zhou Fan and his brother spent some money to rent a small house.
There are not many big inns on Tang Street, and people live in some simple houses.
Even some poor people would gather together three or four people.
However, as long as the warrior is not too poor, he is unwilling to share a house with others.
After all, it is sometimes inconvenient to practice.
After Zhou Fan simply cleaned up the house, he sat cross-legged and ate.
The man was also lowering his head to eat the food that Zhou Fan bought.
Under the dim oil lamp, you can hear the noisy sounds coming from the street outside.
Zhou Fan finished eating silently and then started practicing. He used the secret method of blood-melting to absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth to stabilize his middle stage of blood exchange.
Late at night, the streets became quiet.
With a bang, the door was kicked open, and a strong man with a strong body and a fat face rushed in, "Boy, I heard you are new..."
A sword light lit up in the room, and before he could finish his words, his head broke.
The head and headless body were thrown out of the house. When the head and headless body fell on the ground, dozens of copper plates were thrown out of the house and spilled on the ground.
The door that was shaking and about to fall was closed again.
The eight warriors surrounding the house on the street looked at the separated corpse on the ground, blood flowing down from their heads and skull cavity, and their faces changed drastically.
Any warrior who comes to Tang Street alone will inevitably be targeted.
Especially when the owner of the room was just a teenager.
So late at night, they came over to rob and get a share of the pie. However, even if they seemed to be just a teenager, this kind of thing still had risks. Not everyone had the courage to come forward first, but there would always be someone who dared to be the first to eat the crab.
Now the people who were eating crabs are lying on the ground, their heads are being cut off.
"So... hurry..." a warrior stuttered, "Did you... see...?"
The other seven people shook their heads, and they didn't see anything happening. They just went in and their heads and bodies were thrown out.
"He seems to have exploded in a high position, right?" A warrior standing on the right side of the house asked in a low voice.
All eight people were silent. The people who rushed in seemed reckless, but those who dared to do such things would not be careless at all. In other words, Gao Duan could not even stop a move from breaking out, which made them look fearful.
Seven out of eight turned around and left without hesitation.
The remaining man hesitated for a moment. He lowered his head and leaned over to pick up the copper plates that fell on the ground. This is the rule of Tang Street. As long as the corpses on the ground are rich, some people are willing to restrain the corpses.
If you don’t collect the bodies and only take money, you will be expelled from Tang Street.
As for the talisman bag on the corpse, the money bag was taken away by the people in the house when it was thrown out, otherwise it would not be his turn to collect the corpse.
After picking up the copper plate on the ground, he found a sack and put the head and body on the ground into the sack and took a look at the house without movement. Then he swallowed and gently dragged the sack away from the place.
Generally, when dealing with such a corpse, you will try to hand it over to the other party’s friend first, provided that the other party has a friend... In this way, you can get some money from his friend.
If the other party has no friends or the friend is unwilling to accept it, then wait for dawn and throw it into the wilderness and it will be done.
For him, he can't make a fortune tonight, but it's not bad to make hard money.
He hummed a small song. He wanted to make a fortune but took great risks. Hard work requires only some effort.
