Volume 1 Bewitching Qiankun Chapter 0005 Quanzhou
Tang Ji looked at the constantly rotating aura in front of him, hesitating whether to step over.
This is made up by Aunt Pei, saying that it is a space channel, and if you cross the halo, you can enter the game world of bewitchment.
Aunt Pei had already stepped over, Tang Ji gritted his teeth, and finally stepped in.
There was no whirlwind, and nothing special happened, Tang Ji only felt that it was dark in front of him, and when he lit up again, the world around him had changed.
On the opposite side of the valley, covered by clouds and mist, a traditional manor-style building complex, lying at the foot of the mountain, from the clouds and mist to reveal a little bit of true face, from a distance, this simple style of buildings stretches for ten miles, it seems unusually huge.
Tang Ji found her sitting next to a pine tree, staring intently at the extremely large building complex, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Is this already in the world of demagogy?" Tang Ji walked over and stood behind Aunt Pei.
"You see that complex, right?" Aunt Pei said faintly, pointing to the other side of the valley, "That's the world of demagogy." β
With that, she stood up and jumped slightly, and a skateboard-like thing appeared out of thin air under her feet, holding her suspended in the air.
The skateboard flew lightly in the air and made a spin and stopped at Tang Ji's side.
Aunt Pei stretched out her left hand to Tang Ji, beckoned gently, and said, "Come on, I'll take you with me." β
Tang Ji grabbed Aunt Pei's hand, then jumped on the skateboard and stood behind her. In an instant, Tang Ji felt that the skateboard under his feet seemed to have become a liquid-like existence.
With a surge, a warm feeling of comfort spread upwards from Tang Ji's feet, enveloping him entirely. At this time, Tang Ji had a feeling that he had become one with skateboarding.
"Let's go!"
Aunt Pei seemed to be in a very good mood, laughed softly, and suddenly accelerated her skateboard and rushed out towards the sky.
The acceleration of the skateboard is smooth, and there is no such flinch effect that comes with sudden acceleration. Fortunately, the skateboard is also very large, and it is very spacious for two people to stand on it.
Tang Ji adjusted his body posture, like playing skateboarding, and stood firmly behind Aunt Pei.
Gliding in the sky, the field of vision becomes extremely open, and the mountains and forests in the distance and the U-shaped canyon in the near distance feel like they are all under your feet, which is very refreshing.
When Aunt Pei was manipulating the skateboard, she was more like a young man.
She kept playing tricks in the air, laughing cheerfully from time to time, her hair blown by the wind, teasing Tang Ji's face from time to time, and the numb electric shock made Tang Ji a little uneasy.
"Aunt Pei, how did you do it?" Tang Ji quickly diverted his thoughts and chatted casually with Aunt Pei.
"What do you mean, flyboard?" Aunt Pei turned her head with an excited smile on her face.
"Is it called a flyboard? It's a fitting name! It's amazing. β
"You can too, it's the same thing you used to visualize the kingfisher with your source power. Aunt Pei controlled the flyboard and played another beautiful slalom.
The speed of gliding in the air was very fast, and it didn't take long for the ten-mile building complex to appear in front of the eyes of the two of them.
Tang Ji looked up, here is the same as looking down on the top of the mountain, and the weather is different.
Several ancient tower-style buildings stand tall, and various pavilions are scattered throughout the manor, and the splendor is astounding.
In his past experience, only the most top-notch mansions would be built in this pure ancient architectural form, and he never imagined that he could see such a thing here, which is very rare.
And the tall courtyard wall that stretched unconsciously extended straight out of the sight of the two, and the huge wall was full of eyes, making the scene in front of them look like another world.
Walk to the front, tie the horse pile, hold the drum stone are readily available, on the lintel, a piece of antique wooden plaque, a few dragons flying phoenix dance big characters "bewitching the world".
Next to the big character is a red seal, three small characters inlaid in it, unusually eye-catching "Xishan Ju".
The two of them walked one after the other, towards the gate.
Here, there is no so-called vicissitudes of time, at least in the architecture, there is no mark of time. Everything is new, unless it's intentional.
In front of you, the gate that spans five bays is a deliberately old style, and everywhere it shows the mottling of time.
In front of the door, the nine-step granite steps, as if just washed by the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River, are not stained with dust; on both sides, a pair of half-human tall unicorn lying pine holding drum stones, decorated with sunflowers and tattooed heads.
On the vermilion gate, the head of the beast is ring, the beast is the head of the mantle, and a copper ring is attached under the mouth; above the faΓ§ade, there are nine horizontal roads, nine vertical and horizontal copper door nails, take the meaning of ninety-nine to one.
All of this is full of deliberately aged visuals, full of traces left by the rubbing of time, in stark contrast to the modern buildings around it, but there is no sense of disobedience.
Tang Ji stood in front of the door, stretching out his hand to caress the dark-colored door.
"I never imagined that one day, I would stand in front of the bewitched world in such a way. β
After a long time, Tang Ji patted the knocker, remembered the purpose of this trip, and then said to Aunt Pei on the side: "Let's go." Let's get into the demagogy!"
"Tang Ji, don't!" Aunt Pei saw Tang Ji stretching out her hand to pat the door knocker, and hurriedly stopped her.
"Didn't we say ...... good"
But, it's too late.
Tang Ji didn't finish a word, and a milky white light emitted from the door knocker, enveloping him.
Subsequently, Tang Ji found himself appearing inside the gate, and his clothes also changed, wearing a moon-white Confucian shirt, and holding a folding fan in his hand.
What is the situation, Tang Ji was startled, his leg was touched by something, and when he looked down, he saw a long sword hanging from his waist.
Looking around, Tang Ji found himself standing in a small courtyard, there is a corridor in the courtyard, and there is a pond commonly known as "fireworks pond" on both sides, the water in the pond is rippling, and there are 100 koi fish stocked in it.
At the end of the road are three stone steps, and on the steps is a door.
Is this the world of demagogy?
It seems to be very real, but where is Aunt Pei? Doesn't she still have something to explain?
After waiting for a while, he didn't see Aunt Pei come in, Tang Ji was a little anxious, and he pushed open the heavy door.
However, it is clear that this is no longer the world in front of us.
Tang Ji clearly remembered that there was a group of ancient buildings stretching for ten miles just now, with a hollow drum between the two mountains, but now what caught his eye was the ancient Song Dynasty neighborhood.
Pedestrians, cars and horses on the road have their own way, and all kinds of shouting and selling are coming and going.
Looking back, there is a gate behind him with the big words "Bewitching Qiankun", which is clearly a clothing store.
This can be regarded as the beginning of a journey of demagogy?
Tang Ji suddenly felt a little dazed, until now, he only knew that the mission he had come here was to retrieve the sword of Yan to Chonghu. But the sword is in the hands of Wudang Li Yunliu, and not everyone has the ability to get it.
What should I do? Looking at the people coming and going on the street, Tang Ji was uncertain.
"This son, borrowed, borrowed. A rough voice sounded behind Tang Ji.
Tang Ji stood sideways to the side, but it was a big man with an open chest, pushing a trolley with several grain bales stacked on the cart.
It is estimated that Tang Ji is not dressed like an ordinary person, the man stopped the trolley and stood in place to talk to Tang Ji.
"This big brother, where is this place?" Tang Ji arched his hand and asked the big man, at least find out where he is before he can think of it.
"Quyuan Street. To the east is Taiping Bridge and Guanjie Pavilion, and to the north is Chang'an Lane and Chonghua Street. He replied casually, picked up the trolley, and walked straight forward.
"Quyuan Street, this is Quanzhou Mansion?"
Tang Ji watched the man push the cart farther and farther, and he became more and more confused. In the setting of the bewitching game, Quyuan Street is indeed in Quanzhou, which is the central commercial area of Quanzhou.
"How's that good?"
"Yan goes to Chonghu, I have to get my hands on it, I have already planned for this! But the power of the world to bewitch the world, the suppression of personal cultivation is too strong, if I go, the risk is too high!"
"But what about Tang Ji, can I ignore him? After a long wait, it was not easy for such a person to appear who might lead the Holy Clan back to the peak, so I will let it go?"
Aunt Pei was outside the gate of bewitchment, and her thoughts fluctuated, and the balance of her personal safety and the glory of the Holy Clan was more important, swaying left and right on the balance in her heart.
"Fight! For the glory of the Holy Family!"
In the end, she gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and reached out to touch the door knocker, a soft light covered Aunt Pei, and then she disappeared outside the bewitching gate.
Gyeongju, thousands of miles away from Quanzhou, the main altar of the Red Fire Sect is located in Gyeongju Mansion.
At this time, outside the main altar of the Red Fire Sect, Shi Shiran came to a stunning woman, who was naturally Aunt Pei.
Tang Ji, who was in Quanzhou, followed the flow of people and found that the houses on both sides of the street were lined up one after another, tea shops, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, etc., and shops dealing in silk and satin, jewelry and spices, incense paper horses, etc.
In addition, there are medical outpatient clinics, car repairs, fortune telling, face repair and plastic surgery, all walks of life, everything, the head of the big store is also tied with "Cailou Huanmen", hang the market banner, solicit business.
Tang Ji couldn't help but think of the Qingming Shanghe map he had seen before, and the background of this bewitching game was in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Quanzhou City is not very large, and soon, Tang Ji came to the gate of the city.
"Quanzhou Mansion Ya List, everyone come and take a look!" With a burst of gongs, a person who looked like a government official shouted loudly at the city gate.
Maybe it's really human nature to watch the excitement? The gong has not stopped, and there are already three layers inside and outside in front of the list, which is full of people, and those who are literate and hyphenation begin to read and explain the content of the list.
"Recently, there has been a stream of gangsters in Quanzhou Prefecture to harass passing business travelers......"
"Ouch, it's a rogue, how can it be ...... these days?"
"There are still rogues in Quanzhou Mansion, this world, is it going to be chaotic again?"
For a while, there was everything in the crowd, and everyone couldn't figure it out, how could a peaceful and prosperous world suddenly cause trouble?
"At present, the Quanzhou government has recruited 100 brave men to maintain law and order in the territory, with a monthly money of one or two silvers, and one year of exemption. If a chivalrous man captures a thief, he will be rewarded with a lot of money......"
On the side of the list, there is a government clerk who writes the case, and the people who are interested in applying for the job are registered one by one for inquiry.
"One or two dollars a month, it's really a lot......"
"Also exempted from military service for one year ......"
"Isn't there any danger......?"
"I've heard that this gangster is particularly fierce......
Tang Ji was stunned for a moment, as a hardcore veteran player of "Bewitching Qiankun", he thought that he was very familiar with the content of the game, if he was really in the world of Bewitching Qiankun, he had never seen this scene.
Which one is this singing? Is it still a bewitching thing that you are familiar with?
This is the entrance and exit of the city gate, and there are already a lot of pedestrians, and it is the peak time to enter and exit the city gate in the morning, and the flow of people is very large.
Merchants doing business, hawkers, family members in sedan chairs, monks with feet on their backs, tourists from other places who serve in the dust, beggars in the city on the edge of the city, all three religions and nine streams, all gather.
Most of the onlookers who stopped here were idle people, and when they heard about this beautiful difference, they went to sign up for the recruitment, hoping to earn the monthly money of one or two silvers.
There are also some Zhuang families who want to be exempted from military service for a year, and they are not willing to be left behind. There are also conceited and courageous sons of wealthy families and prodigal rangers, who want to prove their strength and join the enlistment team.
There was a long wall of people lined up in front of the bookcase, which was looked at by the head of the Quanzhou government office one by one, and the strong and powerful offspring were selected, and the old and infirm were not taken.
This is especially the case, and the quota of 100 people will be filled up quickly.
Tang Ji watched from the side and sighed.
Returning along the same road, smelling the aroma of various foods mixed together all the way, Tang Ji actually felt a little hungry.
Only then did I remember that since I arrived in the source world, I hadn't even eaten, but the strange thing was that I didn't feel it before, and it was only in this bewitching game world that I felt hungry.
It's too embarrassing to dig into your pocket! I don't have a penny in my pocket.
Tang Ji couldn't help but feel the urge to burst into tears. I knew this was the case, I should have signed up just now, so I could mix a tael of silver in my monthly money.
You must know that according to Tang Ji's research on the consumption level in "Water Margin", in the Song Dynasty, one tael of silver was completely equivalent to the purchasing power of 1,000 yuan of modern currency.
Therefore, Tang Ji has a feeling of missing 100 million red envelopes at this moment.
How is this good!
I don't know if the source formula of my awakening is good or not in this world.
Immediately, Tang Ji looked inwardly and found that the originally shining five-color source characters in Zhihai had become extremely dim, and he tried to mobilize the source power of the character storage, but fortunately he could still continue to use it.
It's still there. Tang Ji comforted himself.
Thinking that he still had a set of source formulas in his mind, and he could be regarded as a character with the halo of the protagonist, Tang Ji was not so panicked in his heart.
Continuing to walk along the street, Tang Ji followed the rich aroma of wine and food and rice to a restaurant.
This restaurant is five floors high, in front of the door is ten zhang high color door Huanlou, with Su embroidery tassel as the decoration, behind the gatehouse, when the head is a plaque, on the book "Changqing Building" three big characters of mud gold.
Tang Ji walked in.
I don't have a penny in my pocket, but I can't be weak.
The entrance is a hall, all of which are loose seats, which can seat 100 people, and the middle of the hall is empty, and the upper part is in a hollow shape.
"This son, are you staying in a hotel or are you sharp?" A shopkeeper approached Tang Ji with a smile on his face.
"Get out of here, get out of here!"
A commotion came from outside the store, and Tang Ji looked back and couldn't help but light up.
