Chapter 190: Sin flourishes
Seeing Wu Dalie's evil smile on his face, Wu Zhongyuan vaguely guessed that the place where he observed sin and honed his concentration was Fireworks Willow Lane, but he didn't understand how there was such a place now, so he could only pretend to be stupid and ask, "What is this place?"
"You want to know?" Wu Dalie sold Guanzi.
Wu Zhongyuan couldn't say that he didn't want to, because if he really didn't want to know, he wouldn't ask, so he had to nod, "Come out and listen." ”
Wu Dalie was interested, coughed twice and cleared his throat, and then began to speak colorfully.
Through Wu Dalie's speech, Wu Zhongyuan had a general understanding of the place called Goat Valley, although it was called Goat Valley, in fact, that place was not a valley, but a town, which was not under the jurisdiction of any clan, but a place that did not matter.
Since it is a place where three don't care, chaos is certain, the three religions and nine streams converge, pornography, gambling and drugs are rampant, there are a total of five streets in Goat Valley, north-south direction, each street has more than 100 zhang, the easternmost one is easy to change, the goods are varied, what magic weapons, martial arts cheats, birds and beasts Neidan, tiger skin dragon tendons, beautiful snakes and mermaids,* Poison, good horses and BMWs, there are only what you can't think of, and there is nothing that is not there, but what exactly depends on luck, because the people who go there are very mobile, and they are here today, and they may not be there tomorrow.
As for what the other party wants to exchange, it is not necessarily, although there is no currency at this time, but there are several things that most people recognize, the first is the elixir of the cow clan, the second is the metal and salt of the bird clan, and the cloth and dye of the bear clan are also hard currency, these are relatively popular, about equal to currency.
The second street is full of gambling houses, there are more than a dozen, these dozen gambling houses are the same way of gambling, shake three dice with an iron cup, compare the size with the dealer, the iron block yin and yang, can not cheat, shake well, you can also give up your own iron cup, and ask the other party to shake the iron cup, absolutely fair.
Although the way of gambling is the same, the bets of these gambling houses are different, including all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, if you want to win the pill, go to the pill casino, and if you want to win the beauty, you will go to the beauty casino, and there is a lot of room for choice.
The third street is the food street, in today's words, it is a gathering of food from all over the world, there is everything delicious, not only food, but also good wine, as long as there are enough things that are easy to change, you can eat whatever you want.
The fourth street is that, whether you like the old or the small, whether you like the beautiful woman or the rabbit, and whether you like people or you don't like people, there are all there.
The westernmost street is the inn, where the inn is not an ordinary inn, in the current words belong to the hot spring resort, complete supporting facilities, customized decoration, the so-called custom means that the rooms there are decorated according to the different styles of various ethnic groups, to ensure that you feel at home.
There is no "management committee" in Goat Valley, it is not illegal to kill people, it is not illegal to rob things, and it is not illegal to bully a woman from a good family, if there are women from a good family here.
But there is an unwritten rule that as long as you do something to someone else, someone else can do something to you, and if you steal someone else's things, someone else can take your things. Kill someone else, and someone else can kill you.
There are no rules and no circle, there are two ways to form rules, one is the official formulation, the other is conventional, Goat Valley belongs to the latter, such an interesting place, in the current spiritual civilization and material civilization are very backward era is rare, we all know that there is dirt and dirt here, but I like the excitement and excitement here, no one will deliberately destroy it, if there are one or two people who do not have "social morality" to make trouble and destroy, it will be attacked by other people, in Goat Valley, attack is to kill.
"Can we get grain from there?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"I'm afraid not," Wu Dalie shook his head, "The fox clan rarely deals with outsiders, and besides, they are thousands of miles away, and they don't come here." ”
"Didn't you say there's everything. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Are you raising a bar with me?" Wu Dalie asked rhetorically.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "But no matter how good that place is, it has nothing to do with us, and we have nothing to exchange with them." ”
After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Wu Dalie looked at the sheep he was leading.
"What are you bringing sheep here for?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned, "Besides, a sheep can't be exchanged for anything, right?"
"You can have a game," Wu Dalie said with a smile, "If you win, you can buy some gifts and give them back to your friends, and if you lose, you can exchange the cage chicken for some wine to eat." ”
Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything more, everyone has a fluke mentality, the essence of gambling is to want to get something for nothing, everyone thinks about what to do if they win when they gamble, but few people will think about what to do if they lose.
Before sunset, Wu Zhongyuan finally saw the Goat Valley, which was similar to what Wu Dalie had introduced before, but it was not as prosperous as Wu Dalie said, there were people, but there were very few, sparse and bright, whether it was a stall or a shopping.
"Something is wrong. Wu Dalie frowned slightly.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't know why, tilted his head to look at him.
Wu Dalie said, "Something must have happened, otherwise it wouldn't be just these people." ”
Wu Zhongyuan's first thought was whether someone had set a trap here and wanted to use it against the two of them, but after thinking about it, it was not right, if there was really a person with such great energy, then there was no need to set up an ambush from here, and he would do it directly halfway through.
"Is it that the sun has set and everyone has gone back?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Wu Dalie shook his head, "No, the most lively time here is when the third watch is in the third watch, and this should be the time when there are the most people." ”
"What then?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"Let's go, go over and have a look. Wu Dalie led the horse first.
Wu Zhongyuan led the sheep and followed behind with a chicken coop.
Entering the town, a blind beggar heard the footsteps of the two, shook the broken bowl in his hand and begged.
Wu Dalie took a cake from his baggage and handed it to him.
At this time, the old beggar was so hungry that he took the cake and chewed it, and thanked Wu Dalie constantly while eating.
"Why are there so few people today? Is something wrong?" Wu Dalie took the opportunity to inquire.
"Yes, yes," the old beggar nodded, "something is wrong." ”
"What's wrong?" Wu Dalie asked.
"Have you ever heard of psychic soldiers?" asked the old beggar.
"Psychic Divine Soldiers have appeared from around here?" Wu Dalie asked rhetorically.
The old beggar nodded, "Exactly, earlier today, a phoenix-tailed strange bird appeared in the sky above the Badaoling in the south, coinciding with a thunderstorm, the strange bird was struck by lightning and lost its trace, Badaoling is only twenty or thirty miles away, the strange bird flies high, everyone here has seen it was struck by lightning, and there are knowledgeable people who know that the strange bird is a psychic magic weapon illusion, and when they saw it fall, they went to Badaoling to find it. ”
"Really?" Wu Dalie was suspicious.
"Someone has seen it with their own eyes, can there be a fake?" said the old beggar, "There are not a thousand people who go to look for it, but there are also eight hundred, and they have not returned at this time, presumably they have not been found, and the uncle is kind and blessed, if he goes, the psychic soldier will definitely jump out and return to the uncle." ”
Everyone is willing to listen to good words, and after hearing what the old beggar said, Wu Dalie took out a piece of dried meat from his baggage and handed it to him.
The old beggar was grateful, groped and took the dried meat and nodded.
"You wait for me here, I'll try my luck. Wu Dalie handed the reins to Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan took the reins, glanced at Wu Dalie, and signaled him to be careful.
Wu Dalie waved his hand, suggesting that he was overly concerned.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything more, this old beggar should be telling the truth, if someone really designed an ambush, he wouldn't lie that it was a phoenix-tailed monster bird, because this is a weapon used by women, and even if a man gets it, it's useless.
"You look for a place to stay, and I will look for you later. Wu Dalie said.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Wu Zhongyuan was not worried about Wu Dalie going alone.
"No," Wu Dalie waved his hand, "You go to that gambling house, don't go far." ”
Wu Zhongyuan still wanted to say that Wu Dalie had already cast the birth method and went to the southeast.
Wu Zhongyuan was not at ease, and led the horse to the east street, there were some old, weak, sick and disabled people on the street with various things waiting for change, Wu Zhongyuan inquired with them, and what they said was roughly the same as the old beggar.
There are only a dozen stalls on the street, but two of them are not human, one is a small red-haired fox, very small, a few points smaller than an ordinary fox, and there is a small Ganoderma lucidum grass in front of it. There was also a big bad wolf, with a wolf's head, wearing a shabby coat, with a long tail behind it, and a knife in front of him.
Wu Zhongyuan felt interesting, and stopped to look at the little fox, this little thing can't even transform into a human form, and he even knows that he can run here to change it, and he is not afraid of being caught and killed.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan stop, the little fox began to gesture, its claws can't be bent and stretched like human fingers, but Wu Zhongyuan still understood the meaning of this little thing, it wanted to exchange this Ganoderma lucidum grass for a red qi tonifying pill with the same color as his coat.
Since it knows how to change easily, it has a certain divine sense, but its divine sense is obviously not perfect, and the Ganoderma lucidum grass in front of it is a very common thing, not to mention changing the qi tonic pill, even if you change the cake, you can't change it.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan didn't react, the little fox began to learn to behave, and at the same time let out a whoo, ah, oh whoo.
Seeing that it was cute, Wu Zhongyuan took out a piece of dried meat from his baggage and put it in front of it.
The little fox sniffed the dried meat, and his expression was very disappointed, but in the end he picked up the dried meat and disappeared.
It didn't run away, it disappeared out of thin air.
Wu Zhongyuan was very surprised, and looked around in amazement, and a white-bearded old man not far away smiled, "You are not the first person to try to catch it. ”
"I didn't want to catch it, I just didn't understand why it suddenly disappeared?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"We were curious, too, but no one knew where it came from. The white-bearded old man said.
"Does it come here often?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"I've been coming every day for more than half a year. The old man said.
"Has it been changed to an elixir?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"The herb mushroom it brought is not rare, who will exchange it with it?" the old man beckoned to Wu Zhongyuan, "Come, look at these I brought, they are all spiritual objects that are more than a hundred years old, and they are best used for alchemy." ”
Wu Zhongyuan thanked him first, and then waved his hand, alchemy is a unique skill of the Niu clan, and he can't, it is useless to ask for spiritual objects.
Putting away the Ganoderma lucidum, Wu Zhongyuan walked south again, walked more than a dozen steps, and stopped in front of the big bad wolf, this gray wolf should be a little Taoist, the body is already a human body, but the head is still a wolf head.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan looking at it, the gray wolf raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.
Wu Zhongyuan looked down at the knife, it was a little better than an ordinary sword, but it was not a sharp weapon.
But he was far less interested in this knife than in this wolf, looking up and down, left and right, he was a highly educated person, and he was eager to figure out this strange phenomenon of half man and half wolf from a scientific point of view.
After looking at the front, he tilted his head to look at the tail of the gray wolf.
Seeing him tilt his head, the gray wolf hid his tail in his robe and didn't let him see it.
"Can you speak?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
The gray wolf drooped his eyelids and ignored him.
"You, can you speak, human words?" Wu Zhongyuan slowed down his speech and added movements.
"Roll ......"
