Chapter Ninety-Four: A Familiar Scene
When I looked at it from a distance, I thought it was just a small manor, but when I got closer, I found that it was not a small village, not to mention more than a dozen families.
As far as the eye can see, the bamboo fence is dense, the thatched huts are heavy, the towering wild trees welcome the door, and the Qushui Creek Bridge reflects the household. The willows and willows on the side of the road are still green, the flowers in the garden are fragrant and fragrant, and at this time it is the sunset sinking west, and the birds and birds are noisy in the mountains and forests everywhere. The smoke curls and I hear someone singing, it is really a paradise.
"What a beautiful place!" The soft girl said stunned. In the past few days, I have been shuttling through the dense forests and mountains, and all I see are evil shapes and evil images, and it is indeed a little dazzling to suddenly come to such an elegant and beautiful place.
"Yes, what a nice place. But does it always feel familiar? Tang Dou touched his chin, always feeling that this scene seemed to be seen somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Because there is such a demon beast as Bao, so I don't dare to go into the Zhuangzi at will, otherwise it will be trouble to cause misunderstanding, and if you can live in this mountain forest, who knows if there will be a hidden master nest, in case someone comes out and directly beheads them, then who to reason with?
Just as he was hesitating, he saw a big man hurriedly walking out of the village.
The big man was dressed in a blue coarse cloth robe, with a burly figure, a cotton scarf on his head, and a pair of three-eared straw sandals on his feet.
"This eldest brother, the poor monk is polite, may I ask what kind of place is this? Big brother is in a hurry, where are you going? Tang Dou turned on the flickering mode again, and titheed with both hands. In the previous life, anyone could know that this product was pretending to be a monk, but there was no such creature as a monk in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, so the man in blue looked at Tang Dou in a daze, and only felt that he had encountered a nervous disorder.
"Uh, that, what...... It's called Brie. A secluded village in the middle of the mountains and forests, Brie! The man in blue finally said.
Tang Dou learned through Helen that the Purple Gold Kingdom was somewhat similar to the European customs of his previous life, while the Tianwu Kingdom was similar to the East. The HRE is a mixture of the two. Like this kind of secluded lifestyle, it is more like the people of Tianwu Kingdom, Zijin people like a comfortable life, this way of hiding in the deep mountains and old forests is too different.
Seeing Tang Dou's puzzled face, the blue-clothed man smiled and explained, "Are you curious? We actually live here half of the Tianwu people and half the Zijin people. So the habits of some Tianwu people are also very normal! For example, I am a Tianwu person, my name is Gao Cai! The man in blue became enthusiastic, grinning, and showed a mouthful of white teeth.
Tang Dou suddenly realized, nodded and said, "It turned out to be Big Brother Gao." I don't know where Big Brother Gao plans to go in a hurry? ”
Gao Cai's face fell suddenly: "It's unlucky, I was originally the servant of the Gao family, the largest household in Buri, and the head of my family was added as the village chief of Buri, in charge of the affairs of the village. The head of the house asked me to go to the big city to invite some mercenaries to get rid of the demon beast, but I invited three times, at most more than 20 people came at one time, and we ate and drank in Burlilian, who thought that they were all liars, and the demon beast was not caught, but they themselves were beaten away by the demon beast! ”
"The head of the house was on fire, but he scolded me. That's when he gave me some money and asked me to hire a master. But he didn't want to think about it, just two or three silver coins, where would a master come? For a few silver coins to run a hundred miles of mountain roads, what kind of good road can it be? Gao Cai patted his head depressedly, shook his head and sighed.
Tang Dou was happy when he heard it: "I see." Then Brother Gao doesn't have to run. If it's against monsters, I'm still a little sure! ”
"You?" Gao Cai looked at Tang Dou in disbelief. I don't know if it's the reason why Tang Dou cultivated the Taiyi Mantra Alchemy, or if it's the relationship between the ancient mirrors. Anyway, after he was reborn, his breath did not disperse, and ordinary means could not find his level at all, in the eyes of that Gao Cai, he was just an ordinary bald head, not even a soul cultivator, if it weren't for the demon beast Ah Bao, Gao Cai would not have looked at him.
"Brother Gao, don't judge people by their appearance. If it's about dealing with bullies, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much. But if it's a demon beast, there is another secret method. Let me ask you, is that monster a platinum-level? Tang Dou asked with a smile.
Gao Cai rolled his eyes: "If it was platinum, we would have moved a place a long time ago, and we would still be grinding here?" I don't know what level that demon beast is, but I heard the mercenary who came last time say that the demon beast also has silver level 9, which is quite powerful! ”
Silver ninth-level demon beasts, and people at the same level as the idle gold level may not be able to fight, so this demon beast is also quite powerful. It's a pity that in front of Ah Bao's yin and yang symbiotic attributes, that is a scum, the gold level five has been beaten by Ah Bao all over the ground to find teeth, and he is still afraid of a silver level nine?
In fact, as long as it is not a platinum-level demon beast, the combination of Tang Dou and Ah Bao can be killed.
"Let me ask you again, how many monsters are there?" Tang Dou asked again.
"Of course there is only one, one is already terrible, isn't it even more terrible to have a few more?" Gao Cai is not angry.
"That's right. This demon ** is for us. Guaranteed to get it done for you! Tang Dou patted his chest and reassured.
Gao Cai looked Tang Dou up and down, he really couldn't see the clues, but Ah Bao's breath was not hidden, Gao Cai was not a master, ordinary level eight, but his vision was good, he could see that Ah Bao was silver-level, think about it carefully, even if Ah Bao was a silver level, it was a hope, wasn't it? So he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take you back, but if you are still liars, then don't blame me for being unkind!" I've been deceived a lot, and I just have nowhere to send it! ”
Tang Dou nodded in response, repeatedly promising that there would be no problem.
Gao Cai led everyone into the village, attracting countless people's attention along the way.
Soon, Gao Cai took Tang Dou to the front of the largest courtyard in the village: "You wait, I'll go and report to the head of the family!" ”
Tang Dou nodded in agreement and stood in front of the door waiting.
"Boss, what are you doing here? So zealous? What does that monster do with us? Po asked in a low voice. Normally, when there are outsiders, he pretends not to speak, after all, there are very few demon beasts that can speak, and it is too eye-catching.
"Hey, hey, that's interesting!" Tang Dou touched his chin and laughed. He finally remembered why he felt something familiar about this place.
Where have you seen it? Seen in the book.
"Journey to the West, the eighteenth chapter, Gao Lao Zhuang Xing subdued demons. 》
Isn't that what it looks like now?
After walking in the mountains for a few days, I saw a village again, suspected to be a paradise, just arrived at the door, saw a young man rushing out of the door, and under careful questioning, I learned that the monster was evil.
Coincidentally, the boy who went out happened to be called Gao Cai.
Tang Dou was so excited, he felt that he had finally encountered something that had something to do with his previous life: "It's a pity that it's not the pig demon who forcibly marries Miss Gao, otherwise I can also have a daughter-in-law with Zhu Bajie." Ha, but my Bajie is sitting behind me right now. Tsk, that's so much fun! ”
Seeing Tang Dou's inexplicable and weird smile, Ah Bao thought he had some ghost idea, so he didn't ask anymore and shut up obediently.
After waiting for a while, Gao Cai walked out with an old man, who was wearing a black silk scarf, a green onion white brocade robe, and cowhide soft boots on his feet.
When Tang Dou saw the old man, his heart twitched. is obviously a yellow-haired and blue-eyed Zijin countryman, but he is dressed as a Tianwu person, which is really too nondescript. However, it was inconvenient for him to laugh, so he could only hold it in his stomach.
The old man was stunned for a moment when he saw Tang Dou, and it was estimated that he also found that Tang Dou did not look like a soul cultivator, and then he saw Ah Bao's eyes lit up. Ah Bao's appearance is a little cute, but he is also very powerful, even if he is not enlarged to the battle body now, he is much bigger than a cow, and the silver-level strength gives the old man some confidence.
As for Zhu Yuehuo and Little Lori on Bao's back, they were directly ignored by the old man.
"Where is the gentleman from?" The old man said with a smile.
"The poor monk came from the Barbarian Yuan Continent and went to the Tianwu Kingdom! Passing by Guibaodi, it was getting late, and the cheeky face came to spend the night, and asked the village chief to give it a convenience! "It's impossible for Tang Dou to be honest with strangers.
"It turned out to be Mr. Poor. Barbarian Yuan Continent? Could it be that Mr. Poor is? The old man stared at Tang Dou, wanting to see what race Tang Dou was.
After all, the humans who usually go to the Barbarian Yuan Continent and return to the Jiuxiao Continent are all merchants. Therefore, if you are not a businessman and come from the Barbarian Yuan Continent, most people will consciously think that the other party is a demon clan.
Tang Dou wanted this effect, smiled slightly, and a pair of black eyes suddenly turned dark gold, and then turned black again.
"Golden Ape Clan? Alas, disrespectful, disrespectful! The old man was startled, and hurriedly saluted, looking terrified.
The eyes of the Golden Ape Clan are dark golden, but they can also turn black if necessary, but few Golden Ape Clans do this. Tang Dou did the opposite, deliberately using the transformation technique to turn his eyes into dark gold, coupled with the old man's misunderstanding at the beginning, he naturally recognized his identity as a golden ape.
This is actually to give the old man confidence, because the Golden Ape Clan is a well-known strong race among the demon clan, even if an adult is not a soul cultivator, he also has silver-level strength, and it is not easy to deal with a silver ninth-level demon beast?
Sure enough, the old man's enthusiasm rose all of a sudden, and he hurriedly invited Tang Dou and a few people into the courtyard, and called on the people below to bring water and food, and asked Gao Cai to prepare a banquet for good hospitality.
Tang Dou generously hugged the little Lori and pulled Zhu Yuehuo into the door. Ah Bao went to the monster stable with a grudge on his face, but fortunately, Tang Dou secretly promised to give him good food, which calmed the panda's resentment.
The old man didn't seem to care about Zhu Yuehuo, who couldn't tell the difference between men and women, but just greeted Tang Dou warmly, and first introduced himself: "I am Gao Shoucheng, and I am the village chief of this Buri." I think my ancestor of the Gao family was originally a Tianwu nobleman, and later took refuge and settled here, and took in some Zijin orphans, and finally slowly became like this. Mr. Poor, don't look at me as a purple gold person, but I have half Tianwu blood! ”
Tang Dou looked at a blonde and blue-eyed old man who spoke the Tianwu dialect to himself, the corners of his mouth twitched, he wanted to laugh but could only hold back, and he couldn't bear it hard.
"I wonder what the situation with the monster is? What is the breed and what is the source? Tang Dou had no choice but to divert the topic first, so as not to hold himself out of internal injuries.
