"I've heard that the people over there are very strange, they are different from us, even the burial of the dead is different from us, we are all buried here, right, they actually use rock burials there." Lei Zhenzi continued.

Ji Fa listened to Lei Zhenzi talk about this while riding a horse, and said: "Tell me, this point is quite interesting, what kind of song to sing on what mountain, let's learn more about the local customs, so that we won't conflict with the local people when we talk and do things." ”

"Well, I heard that they have a culture of hanging coffins, for example, near cliffs, or near earth mountains and rocks, they will build a house made of rocks there, if there is no such house, they will dig a cave in the nearby cliff, and when the person dies, they will put the person in the coffin, and then put it in the rock house, or in the cave that has been hewn, this kind of place must be very high from the place." Lei Zhenzi said.

"Why do you want to be like this? Is it because of the humid climate and abundant rainfall?" Ji Fa asked curiously.

"According to legend, after the old man died there, he entered the cave alone, and never came out again, which is why he never saw the tomb in the ancient Yongguo, and there is also a saying that after the death of the people there, it is popular to sing filial piety songs, and they also have to beat gongs and drums at night, generally speaking, there are two or three people, one person ties the drum, and one person carries the gong and dances around the coffin, singing while walking, one should be a pair, or one person will sing with it, but what is sung is not very clear." Lei Zhenzi said tactfully.

The two of them rode horses and kept hurrying, Ji Fa thought to himself: "I'm afraid you have to be more careful when you go here, Gu Yongguo is one of the birthplaces of my country's witch culture, don't meet a few masters of witchcraft, and then plant Gu on us, it will be bad, but this thing also needs to be looked at dialectically, it is precisely because of the prevalence of this witch culture, but also let the development of Chinese herbal medicine in the local area very rapid, because the ancient witch doctors are not separated, so witches generally have to treat diseases, and the most used in the treatment of diseases is Chinese herbal medicine, Because of this, the knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine has been greatly developed. ”

"Another one I looked through the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the famous ten witches in it, and after modern research, I found that all of them were people from the ancient mediocre country, and several witchcraft ministers of the Shang Dynasty were from this country."

The two of them traveled for a long time, and finally came to the border city of the ancient Yongguo, although it was a vassal state of the Yongguo, but after a long time, the managers here had actually completely obeyed the orders of the Yongguo.

After dismounting, the two people led the horse into the city, when they passed the city gate, they found that many people looked at them curiously, but they didn't say anything, they wanted to come to this country and were good at doing business, it seems that these outsiders, eighty percent of them were merchants, so they didn't feel unusual, but the dress here was slightly different from that in Xiqi, and the other differences were not big.

"Wow, big brother, look at a family over there, they just sang and danced, it seems that the rumors are good, what is that instrument?" Lei Zhenzi looked curiously.

Ji Fa looked over and found a man clapping a white musical instrument with both hands, making a regular rhythmic sound, he smiled and said: "It's called a drum, after beating or beating, there will be a vibration sound, very shocking, we Zhou also have it, it should be from here to pay tribute, and it is generally used in the palace and the army, so you may not pay attention to it." ”

Speaking of music, Ji Fa suddenly remembered something, it seems that according to historical records, one of the ministers among the mediocre people seems to be called something, and then it seems that he became my minister, and he can sing and dance, but he suddenly can't remember the name. Profound... I remembered that it was not this era, but the kings of later generations.

After the two people entered the city gate, they found that this part of the city was also a gathering place for vendors selling goods, Ji Fa took a general look, there were tea, lacquer, and then there were a few stalls, on which a few grain bags were erected, a piece of white flowers on it, he walked in to take a look, it turned out to be salt, and it was still that fine salt, which made him a little excited, you must know that Yongguo is one of the birthplaces of salt, although the history is mostly recorded after the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, the Shang Dynasty has produced salt at this time, but the amount is small, Or most of it is that kind of coarse salt, which is not conducive to eating.

"Take a look, take a look, the new fine salt produced by the local salt spring only needs 10 copper shells, the cloth coin only charges 5 square coins, and the metal coin only charges 1 knife coin." Salt dealers hawk on the side of the road.

"It's not easy for people in this era to do business, to remember so much currency, but at this time there is no concept of fake currency, and when you collect currency, you can rest assured, but the weight is not light, and it is not conducive to carrying."

Ji Fa and Lei Zhenzi looked east and west, and Lei Zhenzi suddenly said: "Bronze is not sold here, half of the bronze used by our Zhou Kingdom comes from, isn't the tribute of Yongguo very high?" Why can't you see anything for sale here? ”

Ji Fa smiled and said: "You are right, it is true that Yongguo produces bronze, but it is all for the royal family, and then it is tribute, in addition to the daily use, at other times, who has nothing to buy bronze, it is inconvenient to move if it is heavy." ”

"Oaoao, the eldest brother really reads a lot of books! Hey, hey, hey. Lei Zhenzi touched his head embarrassedly.

"There's a fight, there's a fight over there."

I don't know who shouted in the crowd, all the people gathered around, and the two people hurriedly stepped forward to see the excitement.

"Yongya, you have failed my sister, you originally made a marriage contract with my sister, but now you want to marry this woman, my sister is sad and threw herself into the river and died, all because of you, you have to pay for my sister's life today." A woman with a long whip in her hand angrily scolded a man in front of her.

"Cut, I've done that before, but I haven't married her before, isn't it a marriage contract, I've already torn it in half, or in front of your sister, just let her die of this heart, don't look for trouble if you're fine, it's nothing to do with you, I'm going home, don't get in the way." The man called the Vulgar said impatiently.

"How can such a hateful man be so treacherous, let me teach him a lesson." Lei Zhenzi couldn't help but rush forward.

"Wait, have you forgotten what I told you before? Let's take a look at what is going on and then make a plan. Ji Fa stopped him.

"Why don't you want to do it, hum, this son won't make a move, I'm an elegant person, come to raise you families, it's time for you to go, your hands and feet are sharp, let's go home." Yongya said coldly to the family next to him.

"Yes, son, hey, hey, hey, little lady, no one wants your sister, you might as well come and accompany our brothers, and then there will be a happy scene at night, if you don't save it, you will have to suffer from skin and flesh." A few of the housekeepers walked up to the side with a wicked smile.

"Hmph, it's too much of a deception, watch me beat you leper dogs well."

The woman threw out the long whip suddenly, and after a wild dance, she only heard the sound of breaking the air, and the people around saw that the fight started, and all of them dispersed, and they didn't even dare to watch, leaving only Ji Fa and Lei Zhenzi in place, leading the horse to watch.

"Huh? What's going on? It stands to reason that after the fight starts, shouldn't there be a bunch of people watching there? Why did all these people run away in fear? The world is getting worse and the people's hearts are not ancient, this is too exaggerated, Lei Zhenzi, you go to someone to ask. Ji Fa said to Lei Zhenzi beside him.

"Okay, big brother, I'll go now." Lei Zhenzi put the horse aside and ran quickly.

He didn't dare to fly, because this was not Zhou Guo, and he was afraid that he would be treated as an alien and be caught, and it would be bad if he was roasted as a birdman.

Ji Fa watched the woman fight with several family members, only to see that the family members had already picked up their weapons, and they had suffered a loss just now, and the family members had learned to be obedient, and they picked up the sticks and besieged the woman.

The woman threw out a long whip and knocked over one of the housekeepers, and the club's stick rolled to the side on the ground, at which time the other two housekeepers pounced, one left and one right, and hit the woman, the woman dodged left and right to avoid the attack of the two housekeepers, and then spun and whipped the two housekeepers, but what the woman didn't notice was that Yongya was next to the carriage, and looked at the name with a wicked smile.

Ji Fa was startled and shouted, "Be careful behind." As soon as the words fell, he rushed forward, and with the support of the aura in his body, he blocked behind the woman before the stick fell.

The woman heard Ji Fa's voice, and as soon as she turned around, she found that Ji Fa had been hit with a stick.

The "snap" stick was directly broken in half.

Ji Fa didn't feel anything, because of the protection of the aura in the body, he unconsciously ran to the back, just now, it seemed that the family had used all his strength, but it hit Ji Fa's body, like a mosquito bite.

The woman's eyes were red, she was very moved, she gently pulled Ji Fa aside, and then whipped the sneak attack with a whip, directly knocking the family to the ground, and then whipped a few times hatefully.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yongya quickly untied the rope that tied the carriage, hurriedly rode on the horse, and then was about to flee, the woman stepped forward in three or two steps, and a whip knocked Yongya off the horse, Yongya lay on the ground and screamed, and then the woman walked to Yongya, and whipped Yongya vigorously, and hit him crying wolf, flesh and blood blurred, Yongya's face was bloodstained, and there were whip marks.

Ji Fa looked at Yongya coldly, this kind of person should be beaten, and he deserved to be killed, he looked at the woman, he only needed the woman's arm to shake the whip, don't get tired.

"Big brother is not good, I know why the big guys scattered and ran away." Lei Zhenzi ran over panting.

"Why?"

"Boldly in broad daylight, I dared to fight in the street, and I won them all." A team of officials hurried over with knives.

“。。。 Here's why. Ji Fa looked at Lei Zhenzi speechlessly, only blaming him for being a step slower to speak.

Lei Zhenzi nodded with a wry smile, and then said, "Yes, big brother, I... Said a step too late. ”

According to the law of Yongguo, those who fight in the streets will be imprisoned for seven days and taken away."

Then Ji Faping put on shackles for the first time, and Lei Zhenzi and the woman were taken away by the yacha and put in prison.

"They all stay in there honestly, two meals a day, and someone will come to deliver the food after the time." The officials closed the cell door and left.

Ji Fa sighed helplessly: "Hey, I can only stay here for the time being." ”

"It's a matter of getting involved with the son, thank you for the rescue just now, and the little girl Yongyun thanked the son." Yongyun knelt down directly at Ji Fa.

Lei Zhenzi was in the corner, looking at the cell window in a daze.

"What is this for, please get up quickly, what is the effort of raising your hands, people should be like this, see righteousness and do nothing, what is a husband?" Ji Fa didn't know where the words came from, so he blurted out directly.

After listening to Yongyun, she felt that Ji Fa was more righteous, although she Yongyun hadn't read many books, she also knew the word loyalty, otherwise she would not have stepped forward and avenged her sister, seeing Ji Fa's behavior today, she felt that the word loyalty and righteousness were promising, and there were people who did better than herself.

"Childe is very right." Yongyun's eyes changed a little when he looked at Ji Fa.

"I don't know Childe's surname yet?" Yongyun said softly.

"Uh... In the lower Ji hair. ”

"My eldest brother is from Zhou Guo... Lei Zhenzi just wanted to blurt out and make his debut.

"Lei Zhenzi, aren't you thirsty? While introspecting, why was the prayer slow just now? Think about it well. Ji Fa blocked Lei Zhenzi's words.

"Uh... Be... Eldest brother. Lei Zhenzi looked at the wall aggrievedly and didn't move.

"Childe's brother just said, how many words is Zhou Guo? Did Childe come all the way from Xiqi? Yongyun became interested for a while.

"Well, yes, I was going to come to Yongguo to do some business, but I didn't expect to encounter what happened just now." Ji Fa didn't want to say his true identity.

After saying it at the moment, it is estimated that no one will believe that the king of Zhou will be in prison, and no matter how Yongyun is, he will not believe that the man who is locked up in front of him will be King Wu of Zhou, so what Ji Fa said can be regarded as half-true and half-false, and it is not completely deceiving Yongyun.

"Ao, I'm really sorry for my son, because my son can't do business now." Yongyun said apologetically.

"The amount of money, it doesn't matter, money is inconsequential, compared to this, just now when I saw the unevenness, it is the most important thing I should do, compared to this matter, everything else is a small thing." Ji Fa said what was in his heart.
