Red Leaf Town was a mortal town under the Jade Lake.
It got its name because the maple leaves in the town were like fire all year round.
At this moment, an ox cart was traveling on the official road a hundred miles away from Red Leaf Town.
On the haystack at the back, there was a group of fleeing couples.
She was young and skinny. Her face was sallow, as if she hadn't eaten for a long time.
However, her eyes were as clear as water, exuding a different kind of temperament.
The man beside her was holding the woman's hand. He was wearing a tattered silk robe.
It could be seen that these were once wealthy people who were now fleeing along the way.
These two people were Lu Changqing and the Jade Lake Saintess who had turned into mortals.
They left the Holy Land and headed towards Red Leaf Town, which was the closest to them.
During this period, Lu Changqing had asked the Holy Maiden Xu to seal her cultivation and use a spell to hide her beautiful appearance.
She also concealed her figure.
The two of them disguised themselves as a fleeing couple and rushed to Red Leaf Town.
On the way, he met a waiter driving an ox cart.
The coachman was only in his fifties, but he already looked old.
They waved their whips and chattered non-stop along the way.
Very talkative.
"Husband, are you going to Red Leaf Town to seek refuge with your friends and family after escaping from the north?”
The old coachman asked.
"Don't mention it. My hometown is in trouble, so how could I have any relatives or friends in Red Leaf Town?”
"I plan to repair myself in Red Leaf Town and start a small business.”
Lu Changqing answered casually.
As he held the Holy Maiden's hand, he realized that she was a little unnatural, so he pulled her into his arms.
"Don't be like a puppet."”
"We're husband and wife now. We're very close, understand?”
A trace of confusion flashed across the Saintess's eyes. When she heard the word intimate, she subconsciously wanted to move her mouth.
Lu Changqing immediately pressed her forehead.
"Intimacy is not kissing!”
"Do you understand?"
The Jade Lake Saintess nodded her head in a half-understanding manner.
His eyes curiously sized up everything along the way.
The ox cart was even more wobbly than the horse carriage. She had almost never left the mountain gate. Even though she had been flying in the sky all year round, this was her first time riding an ox cart.
The journey was slow and leisurely, shaking her until she wanted to sleep.
She leaned her head on Lu Changqing's shoulder and felt an inexplicable sense of security.
This feeling was extremely subtle, and it seemed to have disappeared in a flash.
The Jade Lake Saintess squeezed into his arms and was patted by Lu Changqing.
"If you want to sleep, then sleep. Don't move around!"
"Oh!"
The Holy Maiden was very obedient and tried her best to play the role of a little wife.
The ox-cart moved very slowly, and they only arrived at the entrance of Red Leaf Town in the evening.
Even at this time, there were still many people coming and going.
The prosperity of Red Leaf Town was due to its proximity to the legendary Jade Lake.
It was a traffic fortress.
Lu Changqing led the Saint out of the carriage and paid the old man dozens of copper coins.
The other party immediately beamed with joy and thanked him repeatedly.
It was worth mentioning that the Holy Virgin of the Jade Lake did not know about mortal money.
In the eyes of a proud girl like her, mortals probably ate two low-grade spirit stones for a meal?
Fortunately, the Saintess was not stupid.
With Lu Changqing's explanation, he had long understood that mortals used something called copper coins to trade.
Above that were silver and gold.
A low-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for a hundred taels of gold.
The Saintess didn't have much of an idea about this because she never used low-grade spirit stones when she cultivated.
Therefore, she had no idea how many things a hundred taels of gold could buy in the human world.
As it was an important town at the border, there were people guarding the entrance.
Lu Changqing was wearing tattered silk and had a woman with him.
He was stopped by the guards outside the town who had ulterior motives.
"Three taels of silver!"
The guard glanced at them from the corner of his eyes. He, who had been stationed here all year round, recognized these two foreigners at a glance.
Travel-worn, people who escaped from unknown places often had a lot of money on them.
If he didn't make a killing now, when would he?
The guard's words made everyone look over.
Seeing that it was a young couple from another city who was being made difficult for, they could not help but shake their heads.
In Red Leaf Town, the word of the guards was everything!
It was said that they belonged to the outer forces of the immortal sect, protecting and managing this town.
You have to give them as much as they want.
Otherwise, he could not enter!
The Jade Lake Saintess was a little angry.
What she cared about was not the silver, but the attitude of the other party towards her.
As the Holy Virgin of the Jade Lake, when had she ever been stopped outside the door?
You even have to pay a bribe?
Grand Holy Maiden Xu frowned and was about to scold him.
But the next moment, Lu Changqing grabbed her hand.
"You're so stupid. You're not a saintess now. You're a mortal, understand?”
"But…"
The Holy Maiden was a little angry. She didn't have any common sense, but that didn't mean she was stupid.
Just now, someone only needed to pay a few copper coins to enter the city. Why did they have to pay silver?
Lu Changqing shook his head and held the Saintess 'hand tightly again.
The purpose of their trip was to experience the feelings of mortals, not to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger and slap this small fry guarding the city gate.
It was not worth it to ruin his cultivation for such a small matter.
Moreover, it was just silver.
He had as many treasures as he wanted.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
He patted the Saintess 'shoulder.
His aura suddenly became steady as he slowly walked forward.
"Yo, you're not convinced?"
The guard smiled coldly.
He didn't believe that a foreigner could overturn the heavens in his own territory.
Lu Changqing stared at him calmly and said,"You want silver?"
"Alright, I'll give it to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his sleeve and threw out an ingot of gold!
"Is thirty taels of gold enough?”
His voice was icy cold.
The guard's heart trembled when he caught the gold.
It looked like a big fish!
However, before he could finish his thoughts, another gold ingot was thrown over. A complete gold brick almost broke the city guard's foot!
"I dare to give it to you, but do you dare to take it?" Lu Changqing said coldly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard immediately came to a realization, and a trace of cold sweat could not help but appear on his forehead.
Seeing Lu Changqing throw the gold on the ground one after another, his face began to turn ashen.
"Enough, enough!"
The gold bars on the ground were piled up like a small mountain.
The guard who had been extorting money knelt down with a thud.
He was just a small guard. He had never seen so much money!
Although this person was wearing tattered clothes, his bearing was extraordinary. Moreover, how could a person who could take out so much gold in front of him be an ordinary person?
It might be related to some big shot.
Red Leaf Town was adjacent to the north and was very complicated. It was common for people to die.
The guard was filled with regret. Why couldn't he control his mouth and hands?
He broke out in a cold sweat." Husband, I was wrong. I…I'll let you and Madam into the city now!"”
"Not a single cent, not a single cent!"
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Lu Changqing snorted coldly.
"It's good that you know. Pick up the gold.”
He watched as the guard packed the gold and handed it to him respectfully.
In the end, he casually threw a few taels of silver to a few guards. Those mortals were instantly grateful to him.
Only then did he lead the Holy Maiden into Red Leaf Town.
The Holy Maiden looked at him as if she had understood something.
