Chapter 191: The Tea Shed Listens to the Rain
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the two changed their outfits slightly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The whole body is tightly wrapped, and even the head is covered with a draping yarn hat.
Because the next stop is a small circle on the map, the border city of Bawangzhai of the Pig Beak Country, Tang Ao must be careful not to repeat Jiang Qiuhui's mistakes.
When they were still more than 100 miles away from Bawangzhai, Tang Ao and the others met other cultivators one after another.
The cultivators of the Pig's Beak Country are mainly the pig-mouthed human body, accounting for more than fifty percent, and the others are human cultivators and monster ghost plagues and so on.
Tang Ao looked at the monsters similar to giant mantis flying by beside him, and couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that the beaked country is mixed, and all kinds of forces are intertwined, and it can be seen that the rumors are true. ”
"The seniors are not right, as far as the younger generations know, the Mirror Flower World is just a bigger pig-beaked country, that is, because there is a behemoth in the Sea of Death Qingyun Sword Sect that strengthens itself under the guise of slaying demons and eliminating demons, and in other places, whether it is a human or a demon and a ghost plague, most of the well water does not interfere with the river water, and there is no vital interest in the conflict, and there is usually nothing to do."
Tang Ao didn't argue with Jiang Qiuhui, he had traveled to several countries, and he had heard Duo Jiugong tell many strange things in the world of mirror flowers.
What he saw and what he instincted told him was that the country of Pig Beak was definitely one of the most dangerous places.
With more than ten miles left, Tang Ao collected the flying car, and swept Jiang Qiuhui to the front of Bawang Village.
The city was built on a hill, and eight walled cities were built to the top of the hill in turn.
Others are not as cautious as Tang Ao, and they can see the ups and downs of the light from time to time, and its prosperity is still greater than that of Luyun Island.
There is no need to pay spirit stones to enter Bawangzhai, and Tang Ao saw that the walled city was completely made of huge stones.
The divine sense swept slightly, and the power of prohibition was hidden on the boulder, which showed that this place was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and there was nothing wrong with being careful.
Tang Ao's purpose was to get a closer look at the various things of the Pig Beak Kingdom, and spent dozens of spirit stones to rent a stone house for Jiang Qiuhui to continue to heal, while he slowly walked to the street of the first walled city.
His lips couldn't help but purse slightly, a few mortals were selling fresh spirit fruits on the side of the street, how could such a chaotic place still allow mortals to gain a foothold?
Dealing with mortals, Tang Ao couldn't ask for it, so he chose an older mortal and bought all the fruits in his bamboo basket with a bold shot.
The voice that came out of the hat was slightly low: "Uncle, I just arrived here, I am not familiar with the place, and I want to ask my uncle a question or two." ”
The old man was holding a spirit stone and was ecstatic, and when he heard this, he saw that there was a hidden corner of the spirit stone in Tang Ao's hand.
Immediately threw down the bamboo basket and said in a low voice: "The first time the guest official came to Bawangzhai? The old decay didn't dare to boast, but he had lived in this Bawangzhai for forty or fifty years, and he knew everything about local affairs. ”
Tang Ao shook the spirit stone in his palm in front of the old man, pointed to the pergola not far in front of him and said, "Let's go over and talk, if the old man answers to the satisfaction of the old man, the reward will definitely satisfy the old man." ”
In the pergola, there was an old lady selling tea, Tang Ao bought a pot of tea, didn't care that he was a cultivator, and poured a cup of tea for the old man.
"This place is the city of the Pigbeak Country, why are there still mortals living there? Aren't you afraid that those people from the beaked country or other monsters and ghosts will suddenly attack? ”
The old man took a big sip of tea, exhaled and said: "It seems that the guest officer has indeed come to the country of the beak for the first time, this country of the beak is indeed not a place for people to stay, I remember that when I was young, all kinds of demons and monsters emerged in an endless stream, and mortals rarely lived past the age of twenty-five, but the situation changed slightly forty years ago, and there was a guest secretary from the country of the pig's beak, this guest secretary was strong, and he was also a human cultivator, and he couldn't bear to see the mortals of the country of the beak suffering, so he made a statement in front of the king that the output of the tea mountain and fruit trees would be given to mortals to own, Let mortals sit and operate these two spiritual things for generations, mortals are good at operating this way, and for decades they have been quite recognized by the whole country, and mortals are free from the hard life of the day, and that guest is our Wanjia Buddha! ”
Tang Ao sensed that the spirit fruit he bought, the big bowl of tea in front of him contained a meager spiritual energy, and if it wasn't carefully served, I was afraid that the yield would be extremely low.
In order to obtain a stable supply of materials, the king of the beak country sold his face to the guest secretary, and this explanation is reasonable.
I didn't expect that there would be such a compassionate guest in the country of Pigbeak, the old man was right, he was really a Buddha of ten thousand families.
As he spoke, the wind and clouds outside changed abruptly, and it began to drizzle.
The mortals of the country of Pig Beak were solidified into fruit farmers and tea farmers, living a comfortable and prosperous life away from the struggle between right and wrong.
Tang Ao was relieved and said: "When I was in the field, I heard that the country of Pig Beak was chaotic, and demons and monsters were rampant, but what I saw in front of me did not match the rumors, and I hope that the old man will solve his doubts." ”
The old man's face changed, and he lowered his voice and said: "The rumors are actually true, it's just that it is difficult for mortals to reach them, some time ago there was a scuffle at the three forks, there were nearly a thousand cultivators involved, and there were heavy casualties on both sides. ”
The three-way crossing is located at the confluence of the mountains and the great river, not far from here.
The melee of nearly 1,000 people can be imagined.
The old man naturally didn't know why it caused the fighting, but it proved from the side that the chaos in the Pig Beak Country was not groundless.
"We mortals are at the bottom of the existence in the Pig Beak Country at best, just surviving for a long time, and the guest officer is a cultivator, right? Cultivators are like fish in water here, as long as they have powerful mana, or there are countless spirit stones, then what do they really want, the fairy grass is wonderful, the powerful magic weapon, there are countless precious resources and materials, and there are even places to sell female cultivators as slaves, but it is just a rumor, whether it is true or false is unknown. ”
"The Pig Beak Country does not prohibit the fighting between cultivators, but it can't happen in the city, otherwise it will be suppressed by the Pig Beak Country, every month there are cultivators with good self-sustaining strength who violate the ban and are killed on the street, whether it is a demon or a human cultivator in the Pig Beak Country, they are all collectively called cultivators, this point must be kept in mind, but no joke!"
"The guest secretary system of the Pig Beak Country has a long history, but the guest secretary is also divided into ranks, there is a difference between the white iron guest secretary, the bronze guest secretary and the pure gold guest secretary, and the good person who shelters mortals is one of the top ten pure gold guest secretaries of the pig beak country, and the only human cultivator among them."
“……”
Through the old man's dictation, Tang Ao had an intuitive understanding of the beak country.
The most prominent feature here is that there is no so-called righteous act of slaying demons and destroying demons elsewhere, and all kinds of cultivators are mixed to survive.
Some human cultivators have even formed Taoist couples with monsters and ghost plagues, and it is not uncommon for them to occur, and Tang Ao, who is familiar with the history of the scriptures, named this phenomenon the Great Fusion of Cultivators.
At the time of parting, the old man suddenly slapped his thigh.
"There is another important thing I forgot to tell the guest officer, the other cultivators are okay, the people of the pig-beaked country had better not be gullible, the pig-beaked countrymen of the pig-beaked country people are lying a lot, and the high-level pig-beaked countrymen are said to have a kind of technique, which is known as nodding with fake and real stubborn stones, the old decay is not a cultivator, in short, it is better to deal with other cultivators than to cooperate with the people of the pig-beaked country, this is the consensus of all cultivators."
Tang Ao put the two spirit stones in front of the old man, and after thanking him, he did not return to the rented stone house.
What the old man said was only the words of a family, and it was extremely inappropriate to listen to and believe it, and he did what he did according to the law to inquire from the mouths of a few other mortals.
In the end, the old man's words are at least eighty percent credible, and the country of Pig Beak is such a strange place with an unfathomable order in chaos.
When I returned to the stone house, it was already dark, and the sky above Bawangzhai was covered by a bright red streamer.
This is the city that activated the defensive formation, it is said that it is to deal with the flying spirit worm, which is a worm that is specifically harmful to cultivators, and the specific situation is known to people who are not cultivators.
Jiang Qiuhui had already finished his work, his injuries had recovered slightly, and when he saw Tang Ao turn around, he immediately got up and asked, "Senior, how is the situation in the Pig Beak Country?" Is it really as scary as the legend suggests? ”
"It depends on how you look at it......"
Tang Ao told Jiang Qiuhui about the information obtained from the investigation, and finally asked: "The country of the beak is by no means a good place, but along the Bawangzhai Mountain all the way to the west, there is another country about a hundred thousand miles, do you want to continue to stay in the country of the beak or go there?" ”
Jiang Qiuhui hesitated for a moment: "The seniors are determined to go to the capital of the Pig Beak Country, and the juniors dare to beg to stay by the seniors' side, one is to not be disturbed by others to recover from their injuries, and the other juniors only believe in the seniors alone, and then consider where to go after the juniors are healed, and hope that the seniors will be successful." ”
Jiang Qiuhui was undoubtedly a burden in Tang Ao's eyes, but he couldn't bear to let him fend for himself in the country of pigs, so he groaned: "Okay! But Tang Mou's ugly words are in the front, if you encounter a situation that is difficult to protect yourself, I am afraid that you will not be able to take care of you, you had better be mentally prepared. ”
"The seniors are serious, the juniors begging to follow have been reluctant to go, if they encounter that situation, the juniors will never become a burden to the seniors, and there will be no complaints."
Jiang Qiuhui was so sensible, Tang Ao stopped admonishing.
"I have some understanding of the situation in the Pig Beak Country, the Keqing token in your hand belongs to the Bronze Keqing, and it is somewhat useful, tomorrow we will go to Bawang Village to contact the person in charge of the Pig Beak Country, at least we must get a detailed map."
Tang Ao chose to face the owner of Bawangzhai directly, and obtaining the map was secondary, mainly to ask about the whereabouts of Ji Shenyu and others.
With Ji Shenyu's strength realm, as well as a unique temperament, as long as you come to the beak country, you can always find clues.
After a night of silence, Tang Ao and the others did not wear hats this time, but showed the bronze Keqing token and went straight to the walled city on the top of the mountain.
Halfway down the mountain, you can still see mortals and other cultivators, and when you come to the walled city at the top of the mountain, you can see all the people with pig's beaks and beaks, and they are very easy to distinguish between men and women.
It is a man who has fangs in a pig's mouth, and a woman who does not have tusks.
