Chapter 56: The Strange Soldier
"It can't be that the monsters here are all higher than me, I can't notice it......, right?" There are no youkai in this world?"
But when he looked at the beautiful mountains and rivers under his feet, a chill hit his heart......
"So it's there, thank you. Lu Qing politely thanked those who showed them the way.
She had just inquired about the way to the capital, and it was still uncertain where Yan'er would go, but if Ji Ao was in this time and space, she would definitely go to the largest, most prosperous, and most enjoyable capital. Lu Qing and Jin Hotaru agreed to do so, so they decided to go to the capital.
"Come on. Jin Hotaru used invisibility to make them invisible to the people around her, and then flew into the air together.
They don't have such a flamboyant personality as Ji Ao, of course, they won't fly higher and higher blindly like him, and they won't find such a thing as "the sky has a pot lid" here, but Lu Qing found another strange thing.
The two flew over another town, and Lu Qing couldn't help but say to herself: "There is no ......"
"What?"
"There is no temple here. ”
Jin Hotaru asked puzzled, "Temple?"
"According to the current dynasty, people should have religious beliefs. Why didn't you find temples, Taoist temples, nunnery, altars and churches along the way?"
"Yes!" Jin Hotaru didn't know much about human society and living habits, but she really hadn't seen anything like this on the road.
"Whether it's true or not, human beings will always find a god for themselves, find a kind of spiritual sustenance, and according to the state of society here, there should be ......" Lu Qing said her doubts to Jin Hotaru as she flew.
Whether it is a god, a monster, a storm and clouds, lightning, thunder and rain, aging, disease, death, these things that cannot be explained by human beings naturally form human religions. The roots of religion were formed before human society was formed.
No matter what dynasty it is, human beings will always offer their gods to the temples they built with manpower and money, and there are no such things here, and of course there are no demons without gods, no ......
Lu Qing couldn't help but shudder, what kind of world did they come to......
The capital of a country is always a prosperous place, it has a prosperous economy and strict management, and Ji Ao happens to be a person who only wants to enjoy and is unwilling to follow the rules, as long as he is here for no more than half an hour, it will become a hidden danger to the security of this society.
"Okay, I'll put him down. Ji Ao let go as soon as he spoke, and the short and fat man he was carrying in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
"I'll let it go, why are you so nervous?" he said, raising his hands to the soldiers who surrounded him with weapons.
"You are so bold that you dare to spread wild at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" shouted the soldier with his weapon raised.
Ji Ao spread his hands innocently: "Actually, I didn't do anything...... You're making too much fuss about finding so many people to ......."
Not far behind him, on the ruins of a razed restaurant, people shouted loudly to dig up the people buried underneath. People with burnt foreheads, swollen noses and eyes, and some even broken arms and legs were lying on the side of the road*, while doctors arrived in a hurry to treat the wounded.
The leading soldier waved his hand and shouted: "Such heinous Diao people, in broad daylight, dare to hurt people and destroy buildings, the crime is so heinous, and they dare to be cunning here! Brothers, take it down for me!"
As soon as the soldiers heard the order, they immediately rushed up, swords and fists, and beat Ji Ao indiscriminately.
Ji Ao calmly jumped up and down in the crowd, and said vigorously: "I said that I had no money, and they still had to chase me, it was originally their fault......"
"It's shameless!"
"Catch him!"
"Be careful!"
"This guy looks like a monkey!"
"Chop off his hands and feet first!"
"Ah......h
"I haven't eaten food, I haven't drunk wine, I'm so pitiful to come all the way here and get beaten......" he muttered, kicking one soldier in the head, and another soldier was kicked out of the way.
There were more than a dozen soldiers in this group, it turned out that there were five or six people around Ji Ao attacking, and the others were still watching and maintaining order among passers-by, and when they saw that their companions could not subdue Ji Ao, they rushed up together.
"I'm making trouble, I'm making trouble, I'm going to make trouble! I like to make trouble! How fun it is...... Long miles and a long ......"
Ji Ao sang a nonsense song, and while dancing left and right, he slapped the soldier with his bow left and right, kicked the soldier, and arched the soldier behind him with his buttocks, in fact, he deliberately made trouble here.
Even if this is a world without youkai, if there is a youkai here to cause trouble and disturb society, the administrators of this world will not sit idly by, right? Maybe they can lure the guy who dragged him here.
The fight lasted for almost half an hour, and it was actually Ji Ao who unilaterally teased the group of soldiers, but unexpectedly, what he hoped for did not happen.
"It's not as simple as you think, if you don't make a big fuss, he won't come out. Ji Ao secretly comforted himself.
"I'll have to find a place to eat and sleep first, and then go to the palace and make a big fuss, maybe 'he' will appear? There must be a lot of beautiful concubines and palace maids around the emperor, right? And the delicacies of the mountains and the sea! Yes, that's it......" he thought to himself.
He grabbed the collar of a soldier who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and asked, "Hey, where is the palace?"
"The Imperial Palace?" the soldier was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily, "Bold fanatics, the emperor's golden luan is also something that a citizen like you can ask?"
"If you ask, you won't die, forget it, I'll find it myself. Ji Ao muttered, "I guess it's the kind of big building that you can recognize at a glance, and you can find it without asking me." ”
With this in mind, he casually pushed the soldier aside and prepared to go to the palace for lunch.
At this time, another soldier came towards Ji Ao with a spear, and the soldier who was pushed away by Ji Ao happened to rush in that direction.
When Ji Ao found out, the soldier with the gun had no time to put away the gun, and it was too late.
"Be careful!" Ji Ao reached out to pull the fallen soldier back, trying to pull him back, but he was a step too slow, only to hear him scream, and the spear just pierced into his chest.
This sudden tragedy, the soldiers and the people on the street were shocked, even Ji Ao was startled, he didn't want to kill innocent people, he quickly hugged the soldier, cast a spell to help him heal, hoping to save his life.
Strangely, his spell didn't work, the soldier's breathing gradually weakened, and his complexion slowly darkened.
"Poison on the gun?" Ji Ao was thinking like this, and a familiar aura emanated from the soldier in his arms.
"Demonic!" Ji Ao exclaimed.
He immediately threw the soldier to the ground vigilantly and jumped up. By this time, the soldier had turned into a youkai with long legs. Although he was dying, before he died, he still grabbed Ji Ao's foot with a long claw.
"He's a monster? Why didn't I notice it when he was in human form? No, he must have no demon at all, and ...... If he was a youkai, how could he have been stabbed by that single shot and died?" Ji Ao thought puzzled, forgetting where he was for a moment.
"Bump!"
He was struck in the head with a sudden blow, and he lost consciousness.
"No way, how could I be knocked unconscious by human power......" was his last thought before he fell unconscious.
