MTL - After the Fairy Disappeared-Chapter 419 Scourge
Master Shi Er patted him on the shoulder, "When you come to Tongluo County to play casually, I will reimburse you."
He has to repay the life-saving grace on Fengmo Mountain slowly.
Walking on the plain, He Lingchuan realized why this place is called "twilight", which turned out to be a beautifying term.
It’s already mid-May, from Yuanguo to Beijia, where is the grass growing and warblers flying, bees dancing and butterflies flying around? Even Fengmoyan, which is windy all the year round, has a place at the foot of the mountain reserved for blooming flowers.
But the Twilight Plain is really dull, the vegetation grows weak, half yellow and not green. There is obviously water here, but the reeds that can grow to a height of one foot elsewhere are at most four or five feet high here. The caravan traveled three miles, and the trees they encountered could be counted with two hands. It can't even compare to the high-altitude Blast Plain—the Blast Plain is also a beautiful flower meadow and meadow in this season.
The farmland beside the road is even more pitiful, and the crops seem to be beaten by autumn frost, and they are also half dead.
He Lingchuan did not see the laborer, nor did the rhubarb on the ridge and the smoke from the farmhouse.
「What’s the matter with this place, no crops grow?」
"This is the land condemned by God." Master Shi Er took a piece of chewing tobacco and put it in his mouth, "Didn't the war of destroying the country take place here almost two hundred years ago? It was that battle. It is said that the demon emperor issued an order to massacre the city, and not even a chicken survived in Qianxing City, the capital of Yuan Kingdom. Afterwards, it became a land abandoned by the gods, where no crops could be grown and livestock could not be raised. Some people said that because too many people died at that time, the whole plain was filled with resentment and the geomantic omen was broken. "
"What's the matter with the sky, I think this place should be called the land of God's condemnation. There are so many capable people in Bega, can't solve the grievances here?" There are four national teachers alone, not counting other great powers.
By the way, the prisoner he captured in Zhao Pan camp had torture dragon pillars on his body, claiming that the national teacher wanted to collect resentment and hatred on the battlefield to cross over, why didn't he succeed in crossing here?
"How would I know? It's just a legend. It's almost two hundred years ago, who is going to take it seriously?" Master Shi Er laughed dryly, "But this kind of situation seems to have happened elsewhere."
"where?"
"The Panlong Desert in the Yuan Kingdom. I heard that there used to be a city and people there, but later offended the gods and turned into a desert that is difficult for living people to enter. It's worse than here." Master Shi Er suddenly thought, "Hey, you Not from the Kite country. Do you know that?"
He Lingchuan nodded: "It couldn't be more clear."
But the main reason why the Panlong Wasteland is covered by wild sand is simple, that is, the three corpses released by the Dafang pot are raging; while He Lingchuan walks on this plain, the sun is shining brightly, but it does not give warmth to his body. If he walks on the ground, You can even feel a chill on the soles of your feet.
There is another name for this kind of place, God abandons ghosts.
"In the past five or six hundred years, many demon kings rebelled. Is this how their territories were treated in the future?"
Shi Erdao laughed: "How would I know?" "It's really strange that Tongluo County was built here."
"It's not surprising, the Twilight Plain is so big, there should be a place for the merchants to rest." Master Shi Er didn't care, after all, they were just passers-by no matter how often they came, "Besides, these untouchables can't leave the Twilight Plain, they Gotta build a place to live."
He Lingchuan frowned slightly.
Shier's family has the natural acumen of a businessman. Seeing He Lingchuan's expression, he quickly waved his hands: "I didn't insult them with the title of untouchables, but the official designation."
"Official designation?" He Lingchuan asked strangely, "Is this the place of exile?"
There are untouchables in the place where Young Master He lived. Heishui City is a frontier place, and the exiled criminals from Yuan Kingdom have always liked to send them to the frontier. Because they are criminals, they do not have household registration in the local area, but are only recorded in a register. They are the most inferior people in the local area and can only sell their labor or body for a living.
"Ah, you can also say that." Shi Er said, "These unlucky **** are all descendants of the people of Yuanguo. More than 190 years ago, Qianxing City was slaughtered, Yuanguo was destroyed, and the rest became slaves of the subjugated nation." Because King Yuan offended the gods, the Demon Emperor punished their descendants, requiring men to be slaves for generations and women to be prostitutes for generations. . "
He Lingchuan snapped his tongue: "It's been almost two hundred years, and the punishment hasn't been cancelled?"
"The longevity of the demon emperor is a dozen generations for us, but it is only half a lifetime for his elders." The last demon emperor reigned for the longest time, a total of 380 years. Can't break the record? "Perhaps the old man has not calmed down?"
"This punishment is too heavy. It seems to be an example to other people to watch and remember. The demon emperor let the demon kingdoms fight for the king by themselves, but forbid them to disobey the gods, otherwise they will be killed at will." Send out a big gift package that the descendants of the exterminated country will be slaves forever.
It can be seen that the gods have a strong control over this country.
Soon, the caravan entered the gold-selling cave that Master Shi Erdang said.
Tongluo County is built on the edge of a river bend, so it is convenient to get water. The scenery on the shore is mediocre, but the water is very clear, so there are many painting boats docked on the pier, the highest one has three floors, and it moves like a house in the water.
There are inns and restaurants in the county, Quyuan Casino, bathhouse, Red Pavilion Square, Ecstasy Array...the entertainment projects in other places are the same here, and they need to be bigger and stronger.
Because there is no other industry here at all.
Of course, enjoyment is divided into grades. Like the main street that He Lingchuan just walked through, the signboards on both sides of the road are bigger and bigger, and each is more magnificent.
The men and women in the shop were all laughing hard.
As long as you have money, you can eat the freshest fresh food, drink the most mellow wine, and of course you can find the wandering Xieyuhua, and talk about your ideals under the covers; if there are only two copper coins in your pocket, then It is only worthy of looking for secret doors outside small restaurants.
He Lingchuan saw a man standing on the side of the road, bargaining with the secret door.
The skin and meat business of Anmenzi is usually done directly at home. Their husbands are lowly slaves, and they are also responsible for serving tea, wine, and towels to guests.
As soon as the caravan settled down in the county town, the guys dispersed in a rush, and even the groom disappeared——He Lingchuan just wanted to tell him to feed more bean cakes and old wine to the rock sheep.
After Fanshan was in danger, Master Shi Er gave them a little surprise fee. Before it was hot, they were in a hurry to spend it.
Shi Erdao reminded He Lingchuan: "You can play casually on the main street, and you can also play on the two rows of streets behind. Don't go any further, it's dangerous."
「Is there any danger here?」
"These in front are the properties of the dignitaries and gentry of Lingxu City, and they are guarded by special personnel. As long as the price goes in and the money is spent, it is guaranteed to be safe." The two are on the second floor of the inn, and Shi Erdang pointed to him condescendingly, "Look at the black paint behind The place with no lights in Mahei is probably the residence of the untouchables. There are all kinds of religions and all kinds of things in it. Two years ago, a guy in my caravan walked in drunk, and I haven't found him until now. "
He saw He Lingchuan walking back: "Have you decided where to go?"
"No, you can go to the second head."
"Hey, you're only seventeen or eighteen years old. Why don't you say this when you're young?" Master Shi Er touched his chin, looked him up and down, and then realized that He Lingchuan didn't seem to find him on the way. over women.
Could it be that there is some hidden disease? Oh, what a pity, Bai Chang has such a handsome face.
Looking at his eyes, He Lingchuan knew that he was thinking wrong: "Family-inherited exercises, this is forbidden before the age of eighteen."
"Oh." Master Shi Er believed it himself, and didn't force it, "You can come down whenever you want. Also, the Jinquan Yayu opposite is a regular place, and you can take a bath or soak in hot springs. If you don’t nod, no girl will jump on you.”
Saying that, Shi Shiran went downstairs.
He Lingchuan shook his head. Looking at the feasting and feasting on the main street, he didn't want to go to the romantic place, but people are like iron and steel, so he can't stop eating.
He had spent two days in the wilderness, and now he saw the signboard of Jinquan Yayu, and his body suddenly started to itch.
So a quarter of an hour later, he soaked in the big wooden barrel of Jinquan.
Tongluo County has everything you need to eat, drink and play here, but there is no real hot spring. Guests want to soak in hot water with bubbles, at most, sprinkle some medicinal powder in it for a guest appearance
Prescribe medicinal soup.
But here except the hot springs are fake, everything else is real. The service is very considerate, you can get a haircut, shave, manicure, bone loosening, enough wine, tea and cigarettes, and the chef in the back kitchen is also on call for twelve hours. You can have a bowl of steaming raw pork liver porridge at any time, or two Three cages of fried buns.
This place is divided into two places, the elegant bath and the mixed bath. The elegant bath is a private single room with tables, chairs, beds, and wooden barrels;
Of course He Lingchuan wanted an elegant bath. But even the sound insulation effect of the private room is very average, not to mention that the big wooden barrel is placed by the window, and he can see the back hall of the Red Pavilion Square opposite.
The room opposite is lit with lights. If the window is closed, there will be a very intense shadow puppet show. If the window is not closed, there will be an action scene. There will also be a woman's exaggerated and deformed cry, which floats in through the dense water vapor, which seems very unreal.
Eating a full meal is not easy, and acting is also very hard.
After soaking for half an hour, He Lingchuan was also hungry. He changed his clothes and was about to go to the front hall to order something to eat, when the door of the private room was slammed open with a bang, and three men rushed in, asking him fiercely, "Where are you hiding?"
There is also an owl, which flew in and snorted, and landed on the beam to look around.
He Lingchuan looked blank: "Who?"
The three of them seemed to be running out of breath. They looked behind the screen, on the beams of the house, and under the bed.
One of them went to look out the window, but was hung up by the action scene on the opposite side, and couldn't take his eyes off it.
He Lingchuan leaned over to take a look, and it was really difficult.
The other two came over and slapped their companion on the head: "Look at the P, keep searching!"
