Looking at the surprised appearance of the old horse, Shi Yuanji smiled helplessly and said: "No, I just think this place is not bad, this kind of old tomb has people to pay respects, it can be seen that I guessed correctly, the hand of the White Dragon Prince did not reach here, and the claw did not harm the party here." ”

Hei Ming habitually shook his horse's head and let out a long sigh of relief: "You scared me to death." ”

Shi Yuanji said helplessly: "You are a dragon, what are you afraid of? ”

A man and a horse were talking and laughing, and they were about to walk down the mountain, only to see a mortal man holding a small basket on the path ahead, and was walking down the mountain step by step.

Hei Ming closed his mouth, put on the appearance of an old horse again, and hurried up.

Shi Yuanji turned over and dismounted, bowed his hand, and asked with a smile: "This benevolent brother, dare to ask if this is Amcheng?"

The man's posture was soothing, dressed in a long robe, carrying a small basket, although the clothes were quite old, but they were very clean, which made people look very comfortable and friendly.

He turned his head, looked at Shi Yuanji, and replied kindly: "This is Amaki, I don't know if this benevolent brother is from Dongsheng Shenzhou?"

"Amaki is located on the border of the Great Wilderness, and there were not many outsiders who came before. Now that there is a shortage of soldiers in Xiniu Hezhou, there are even fewer people coming. ”

Shi Yuanji smiled and pretended to be helpless and said, "Isn't this a war that makes the war a disaster?" I am a student of Chengyun Pavilion, and I was originally interviewing folk customs in Jicheng. ”

"Who knew that the white dragon prince suddenly called, killed people when he saw them, and robbed them when he saw them. Not to mention that we mortals suffered, even the goblins of Naji City were also slaughtered by the White Dragon Prince. ”

"I couldn't help it, I hid in Xiniuhe Prefecture and Tibet, and I was finally forced here. ”

The man sighed, and his face showed sadness: "The White Dragon Prince of the Ghost Fang has done evil, and many goblins have been forced to flee here by him. What he and his army did, I have also heard, is indeed bloody and brutal. ”

"Don't be afraid, there are no goblins from the ghost side here, and there is no army of the White Dragon Prince, so let's avoid the military disaster here. ”

Shi Yuanji politely bowed his hand again: "Then thank you." ”

The man led the way, Shi Yuanji followed closely with the old horse, and he looked at the small basket in the man's hand, there were actually a few incense sticks in it, which were somewhat similar to those that had been burned in the tomb.

However, he didn't ask, it was too rude, he just walked quietly, intending to inquire about Shuozhen after entering the city.

"Mr. Ye, I'm back. ”

As soon as he walked to the gate of Amaki, the rough but beautiful plaque of Amaki City caught Shi Yuanji's eyes, and before he could take a closer look, the greetings of the soldiers defending the city attracted his attention.

The man smiled in response to the soldiers' greetings, explaining to them the origin that Shi Yuanji had just made up.

"That White Dragon Prince is simply a devil's child. The soldiers defending the city scolded angrily. "I think that if he is so cruel and unkind, sooner or later he will be damned. ”

After Shi Yuanji was surrounded by a group of goblins with pity in his eyes, under the leadership of the man, he smoothly entered the city.

"The younger generation took the liberty of borrowing the gold face of Mr., and I am really ashamed. Shi Yuanji said solemnly.

The man smiled slightly: "It's okay, I'm good at talking in Amaki, now that the war is raging, whether it's a mortal or a goblin, it's good to help each other." ”

"By the way, my surname is Ye, my name is Ye Changwen, what about you?"

Shi Yuanji reported his name and said his hometown, which caused Ye Changwen to sigh.

"Haitang Town, Hexi?" Ye Changwen said with emotion. "I'm also from Hexi, and I haven't been back for fifteen years. ”

"Amaki is a small place, there are no good inns, you can stay with me. ”

Shi Yuanji thanked him again and again, and then came to Ye Changwen's house.

It was a small yard, a few short fields were cultivated in front of the courtyard, vegetables were grown, and there were a few desks in the room, which looked like a school.

"Makes you laugh. Ye Changwen arranged a small room for Shi Yuanji, settled the old horse, and then began to chat.

"I'm the only teacher in Amaki, and this is both my place of residence and a place to teach my children. ”

Shi Yuanji walked into the room, inexplicably felt a strange mana fluctuation, and his heart was excited, and he looked around casually.

He saw that there were several calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room, and the words on them were somewhat similar to the plaques at the city gate, and in the center of the room hung a sword, simple in shape, obviously not of great value.

But the strange mana fluctuations came from that sword.

"The fluctuation is very slight, if you are not a natural disaster master, you can't feel it at all, but it is very stable...... I can't imagine that this gentle teaching could hide such a secret...... Could it be that he is a claw?" Shi Yuanji said quietly in his heart.

"No, without the breath of a celestial wolf, he should have used some other evil magic. ”

Thinking of this, Shi Yuanji smiled again on his face, and said in an admiring tone: "No wonder the soldiers guarding the city at the city gate are so polite to you, it turns out that you are the gentleman here." ”

Ye Changwen put the bowl on the table, invited Shi Yuanji to drink water, and said a little proudly: "I have only been here for more than ten years, and I make a living by teaching, so the local goblins respect me." ”

"They invited me to participate in any big things here, even the plaque at the city gate, which I wrote. ”

Shi Yuanji was not surprised, Ye Changwen had been here for more than ten years, and his first batch of students were probably adults, how could he not respect the enlightenment teacher.

This person is not a claw, otherwise the wolf has even activated the claw in Hanoi, how can he hold back and not let this person make a fuss, he thought to himself.

He asked curiously, "Do you want to participate in weddings, funerals, and sacrificial ceremonies?"

Ye Changwen said with a smile: "Don't look at me as a mortal, I can be regarded as a local, there are not many literate goblins in Amyoshi, and I have to go to support you when I encounter what you said." ”

Shi Yuanji thought about it, and asked along the water: "I don't know what gods are sacrificed in the local area?"

Ye Changwen's face became a little ugly, but he immediately eased up and smiled wordlessly.

Shi Yuanji saw his expression in his eyes, and suddenly became suspicious.

He remained silent and pretended to be nothing: "In the Chengyun Pavilion, I majored in mythology and history, and I have gained a lot in Jicheng. ”

"But now that I'm wandering, I haven't studied for a long time, and my hands are really itchy, I wonder if Mr. can give me a convenience?"

Ye Changwen said embarrassedly: "It's all temple fairs in small places, the sacrifices are fake, and the excitement is real, which is no different from the temple fairs in other places." ”

"The gods sacrificed here are no different from Dayu's side, they are all Xihe, Nuwa and the like, and of course, there are Fuxi and judges who are unique to the demon spirit, there is nothing to say. ”

"The children are coming to class in a while, and if you want to see for yourself, you can walk around the city, and although the city is small, the people are simple, and you don't have to worry about them bullying outsiders. ”

With that, Ye Changwen got up and left, leaving Shi Yuanji full of doubts.

In the small courtyard, several goblin children rushed in, and under the leadership of Ye Changwen, they started a day's studies with a smile. Shi Yuanji looked at the warm scene, couldn't bear to disturb, walked out of the courtyard gate, and continued to inquire about the news of Shuozhen.

In the past, Shi Yuanji always felt that the appearance of the goblins was much the same, nothing more than a human face, leopard ears, cat tail and cat legs. But now he realized that the appearance of the goblins was actually diverse.

Natama and Ryuge both had black fluff and black eyes, which he once thought most goblins were.

But in the small city of Amaki, the goblins on the streets are colorful, some are orange, some are gray-blue, and some are pure white with spots.

These goblins do all sorts of trades, either attentive or lazy. They have different expressions, the banshees are heroic, tall, thin, or fat, and the banshees are charming, pure, gentle, or spicy, which is really a good thing.

Shi Yuanji walked around the city and found that this place was no different from a mortal town, and he couldn't help but wonder.

Judging from the altar murals in Blackwater, Shuozhen is very fond of participating in mortal things. Now that Shuozhen is indeed alive, there is no reason why it should not affect the goblins here.

Could it be that Shuozhen's power is too weak to affect the world?

He couldn't help but think of Ye Changwen's strange performance just now, and decided to take a look around.

He walked all over the city, but found no temples, not even a simple ancestral hall, and his heart was even more puzzled.

Ye Changwen said that there are temple fairs and sacrificial ceremonies in Amcheng, but there is not even a temple, what should I do about the temple fair?

Just when he had no clue, a noise caught his attention.

Several goblins in the appearance of soldiers stood in front of the door of a house, looking nervous, and shouted loudly into the house. An elderly elf couple, full of tears, stood in front of a seven or eight-year-old leprechaun girl, seemingly pleading.

Behind those soldiers, the onlookers had the same expressions as the soldiers, and the object of the old elf couple's plea expanded from the soldiers to all the onlookers.

"Your Liu family can't go back, if you draw your family this year, you will have to have children. Everyone else is out, why can't your family get out?"

The old man had a bitter face and said in a choked voice: "It's not that our Liu family is untrustworthy, it's really a last resort." My wife and I are dependent on each other, and only this granddaughter is left to accompany us. ”

"If you take her away, how will we live?"

Among the onlookers, an old man said loudly: "Old brother, it's not us who forced you, your granddaughter was named by the divine envoy, and I don't dare not give it." ”

"Do you remember when the oracle first asked for a virgin? You were still young, you can't remember?"

"Don't you remember when the whole town was plagued? You can't joke with the life of the whole city. ”

Shi Yuanji relied on the powerful physique obtained from practicing the dragon machine technique, pricked up his ears, and heard the arguments of the goblins in the distance.

When he heard these two words, he couldn't help but slap a spirit, and it was done by his claws?

How did the claws here establish such an order and ask for boys and girls?

I really can't understand what is the use of virgins and girls to him? Spells have developed to this day, and they no longer need specific creatures and flesh to make materials, which is a very foolish and useless act.

Could it be the unique hobby of the claws here, Shi Yuanji sneered.

No wonder when he mentioned the festival, Ye Changwen's performance was so weird, such an ignorant and cruel thing, Ye Changwen, as a teacher, would definitely not want to mention it.

He decided to meet this dear claw for a moment.
