Chapter Twenty-Five: The Path of the Divine Descent
In the year 3020 of the Ninth Holy Calendar, on the fourth day of the first month, it is advisable to sacrifice, crown, and foundation, and avoid marriage.
In the middle of the day, a gorgeous two-wheeled carriage was driving unhurriedly on the official road, and a fifty-year-old man in a messenger suit held a large cigarette pouch in one hand and leisurely controlled the reins of the carriage in the other. This is the official car that departed from the post station in Qingjiao Town, and it is also the most gorgeous carriage in the post station, and Bai Meiqi is sitting alone in the carriage. I don't know how many times more comfortable this carriage is than the donkey cart of the village chief's house, but Bai Meiqi's mood is a little depressed.
The dancing moon did not come!
Yes, Dancing Moon didn't show up at the post station until the carriage departed. This carriage went to the Heavenly Demon County, and the destination was the Heavenly Demon Divine Descent Academy in the county, which was the usual reward of Qingjiao Town for the new Divine Descent. The eighth day of the first lunar month is the day when the Heavenly Demon Divine Descent Academy opens, and Bai Meiqi, a new Progenite, wants to catch up with the registration, so he has to start from the town today, and the food and lodging along the way are also paid for by the town, and there will be no more such good benefits after missing this time!
"Is the Dancing Moon going to be someone who cares about this bit of money?" The answer to this idea Bai Meiqi knew very well in his heart, of course it was negative. He was depressed because he didn't see Wuyue, and feeling sorry for her missing this special trip was just an excuse for himself. He set off from home, thinking that he would be happy to see Wuyue immediately, but he didn't even see the shadow of Wuyue, and he would inevitably feel disappointed, but Wuyue is obviously a dominatrix!
Bai Meiqi raised his somewhat sore neck, he had only been in this carriage for half an hour, I don't know why this neck has always felt uncomfortable in recent days, and people still feel a little drowsy from time to time? Last night, he dreamed of the nightmare that had been entangled since he was a child, the plot was still the same, there was no new progress, and he was still at a loss and finally woke up from a cold sweat again.
He really wished he could see the face of the owner of that blue-gray paw one day, and see what the demon in this dream looked like, but deep down he was still afraid, and he hoped that he would never do this damn nightmare again!
Bai Meiqi remembered the situation of saying goodbye to her family this morning, and Aunt Liu smiled and cried in her mind, and her heart suddenly felt sour. At that time, although Uncle Liu blamed Aunt Liu for being unlucky for him to go out with tears, he also said with a smile: "Silly mother-in-law, this is our child's life, we should laugh happily." Haha, you stupid mother-in-law, won't Qi'er come back from summer vacation in half a year!"
But after Uncle Liu sent him to the town post station with a donkey cart, he looked through the curtain of this carriage, and only then did Uncle Liu turn around and drive away in a donkey cart until he couldn't see Uncle Liu waving goodbye.
"Dad, mother. Bai Meiqi shouted silently, maybe he can call out next time he comes back!
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, at dusk, the carriage entered Fenglei Town.
Wind and Thunder Town is in the middle, of course, relative to Heavenly Demon County. Fenglei Town is mountainous, unlike Qingjiao Town near the sea, which is mostly plain, she is also much larger than Qingjiao Town, even not much smaller than Tonggang County, the largest town in the entire Heavenly Demon (County), and also directly belongs to Heavenly Demon County.
Although Fenglei Town has many mountains and steep roads, the official road is still very wide and flat, of course, the ups and downs on the road are always inevitable, and it is impossible to have the official road of Qingjiao Town to be flat.
Heavenly Demon County, five counties, and seventy-eight towns, one county refers to the Heavenly Demon County, of course. The difference between the Heavenly Demon County and the Heavenly Demon is only in terms of title, and the Heavenly Demon County refers to the name of the entire county in the county-level area of the Heavenly Demon, and it also refers specifically to the county seat of the Heavenly Demon County.
Fenglei Town is worthy of being the largest town in Heavenly Demon County, and the town is really much more lively than Qingjiao Town, Bai Meiqi looked all the way in the carriage, and was already attracted by the noisy crowd, and his mood was also very good!
"Phewโ" The fifty-year-old coachman tightened his reins and parked the carriage at the door of the Heavenly Demon County Station. In the post station, the errand generally lived in simple rooms, and the relatively good rooms were reserved for officials who were in office or on a business trip and passed through, of course, these officials were some minor officials, and the big officials were greeted by the local officials who had heard the wind for a long time.
The coachman's surname is Sha, and his name is Debao. Although Sha Debao is a little hunchbacked, he is tall and sturdy, and he has been a messenger driver at the post station for more than 30 years, and he can't carry it without a good body. Shadbao took out the official paperwork from his bosom and handed it to the errand officer at the inn.
The people in the post station were obviously already familiar with each other, and one of them took the document and opened it, and glanced at it roughly, and then chatted with Sha Debao, probably not even seeing the seal of the document. These are rough people, they will not be hypocritical greetings when they meet, and the most popular thing to talk about is the girl in the hook column, which family is the most coquettish, where is the most watery, and which little lady is the most energetic in bed!
That night, there were three errand men at the station. Sha Debao talked casually with those people, and then introduced Bai Meiqi who entered with him. Although the three of them had seen Bai Meiqi at the beginning, they had guessed that it was a new god, but they didn't take him seriously.
Wind and Thunder Town is a must-go for at least half of the Heavenly Demon County, and more than one new god descendant stays here at this time of year.
"What? You're only nine years old......! It looks quite small indeed. One of the errand men said, although Bai Meiqi is ten years old after the New Year. Originally, the document was written clearly about Bai Meiqi being a nine-year-old god, and it was strange that Ma Zhi County didn't mention such a long-faced thing, and this official document was issued by the county. They didn't even read much of the paperwork, so how could they pay attention to a child?
"Oh, by the way, you are the nine-year-old god descendant from the small fishing village that Ma Sanmo said a few years ago, right?"
"Ma Sanmo, that guy said, then why did you kid never mention it?"
"I thought that guy was bragging!
Ma Sanmole is the messenger of Ma Zhi County who changed horses along the way to go to Heavenly Demon County in order to buy space balls for Bai Meiqi and Wuyue. He got this name because he had three big black moles on his face, although he was also surnamed Ma, but he had nothing to do with Ma Zhi County.
Ma Sanmole can be said to be a day and night journey at that time, and when changing horses at the post station here, the one who helped untie the horses in the stables was the messenger who had just spoken. As soon as the man asked casually, Ma San Mole said casually.
Shadbao drove the carriage to the stable in the courtyard of the post station, untied the carriage and unloaded it, and then tied the horses to the stables to graze and rest. After he finished cooking the horse, he returned to the post station, but he didn't expect that the post master was invited out by the post man.
Yicheng is the head of the post station, a sesame official, and there is no grade to speak of. It's nothing wrong for the post to come out, but it's just to hear the post man talk about the novelty and come out to see the excitement. Maybe he would never be able to see what an early godborn genius looked like in his life, let alone a fisherman's child.
Bai Meiqi was embarrassed to be treated as a living treasure, although this was a glorious thing. He was ashamed to be treated as a prodigy, he just woke up into a god in a daze, and made himself a legend.
Wuyue said that he suddenly became a god-like adult man, which was really puzzling to him, and he couldn't believe it, but he suddenly became a god.
Shadbao still lived in a simple room where the errand servant rested, and he ate the usual errand meal. Although Bai Meiqi has no power and no ability now, he is just a child who has not been awakened for a long time, but Yi Cheng personally arranged a good room for him at the post station, and the meals provided by the post station that night were also very good.
Yicheng didn't have any purpose, just a love for geniuses, and the new gods lived in a good room here.
There was nothing to do all night, and the next day the rooster crowed, Sha Debao set off on horseback and chariot, until the middle of the day, entered a steep official road, the road became obviously undulating, and there were high mountains with red rock boulders on both sides, which was called Red Snake Valley.
The name of the Red Snake Valley is not because there are many red snakes in the canyon, but because the canyon mountain road is winding, and the mountains on both sides are red rocks.
This place has already left Fenglei Town for more than half an hour, and after this Red Snake Valley, it is not far from the Heavenly Demon County, but it is still not a small distance away from the bustling and lively city, even if you can't catch up with the city today, it is nothing, find a small inn in the suburbs to rest for a night, and you will definitely be able to rush to the Heavenly Demon Divine Descent School to sign up tomorrow.
On the winding, bumpy and undulating official road of the Red Snake Valley, Sha Debao still controls the reins with one hand, holds a cigarette pouch in the other hand and takes a puff from time to time, and the carriage is still steady.
On the way, when he came to Shadbao to catch the car, he always kept the cigarette pouch in his hand, but only when he stopped on the side of the road and let the horse take a short rest, he would add tobacco to the big tobacco pot in his hand, so most of the time the big cigarette pouch he held was extinguished, but he would still take a puff from time to time, maybe this is his habit, right?
When Sha Debao stopped and dismounted, he put away the cigarette pouch in his hand, and only after he was full of wine and food would he take out the big cigarette pouch, light a pot full of tobacco, and then sit diagonally, step on the bench where he was sitting, and swallow the clouds and smoke with a comfortable face. When Bai Meiqi saw his enjoyment on his face, he understood what the saying "a puff of smoke after a meal, happy like a fairy" is.
