Chapter 408: Entering the county seat
PS: (Chapter 2 arrives, please subscribe to ask for tickets~~~)
The county seat of Guobei County
It's still noon, and the scene in the underground county town of the big sun is lively and lively, and several streets in the county are crowded with people next to each other, and they look quite prosperous.
Of course, if you don't see a lot of hideous-looking guys on the streets, carrying swords and looking for wanted criminals from time to time to cause chaos, then it really has a bit of a prosperous taste
The guards at the gate of the county town were still very discerning, and when they saw Liu Qi and his entourage's more than 20 convoys that looked like they were either rich or expensive, and looked at the guards of the convoy one by one, riding tall horses, big men and bright armor and swords, he took a few taels of broken silver and let them go directly with a wave of his hand, without even asking.
Just kidding, right? This team is obviously a big family that is either rich or expensive, what else do you ask? When the other party is the kind of small people or traders who let themselves loot? The thing to do is to make a pair of tricks shine a little, don't offend people who shouldn't be offended!
Obviously, it was not only those city gate guards who had this idea, after seeing the momentum and posture of this group of people after Liu Qi entered the city, even those unreasonable and arrogant bounty hunters directly avoided this group.
In the final analysis, they are doing the work of playing with their lives, and of course they don't pay attention to those ordinary people and the like. But in front of those big people who can pinch them to death at any time, all the guys whose IQ is still passing and don't want to find their own death will not take the initiative to provoke.
Even the county magistrate of Guobei County was shocked by the arrival of Liu Qi and his party, but because he didn't know Liu Qi's origin and Liu Qi didn't take the initiative to hand over the name card to invite the party, of course, the dignified county lord didn't take the initiative to find Liu Qi and his party.
********************
In one of the best inns in Guobei County, the innkeeper knocked on the door one by one with a smile and then issued an eviction order to all the guests.
Of course, the guests were not convinced, but in the face of a silver ingot and a few big men who looked like they were staring at themselves with extraordinary backgrounds and sharp weapons, most of the guests of the inn obediently chose to take the money and leave to live in another inn, and a few people who were spurred or who couldn't see the current form were directly led and thrown out of the door of this inn like catching chickens.
"My lord, everyone has already cleaned up," the innkeeper did not get angry when he saw that his guests were all cleaned up, but instead flattered an old clone in a butler's costume with a flattering smile.
As the owner of this high-grade inn in the county seat of Guobei County, of course, his knowledge is definitely not comparable to ordinary people, and of course it can be seen that the people who directly threw out a stack of gold leaves and wrapped up the entire inn have a very big background, so they cleared the guests who lived without saying a word.
"Shopkeeper, those guys of yours are two for now, we have something to inquire about! In addition, the other guys left home directly to rest for two days, and they didn't need to serve them," the clone enhancer who looked like a butler looked at the innkeeper with a flattering look and commanded indifferently.
"Yes, yes! Little Liu, Ah Qi, you two stay and listen to the guests!" Of course, the innkeeper knew that a guy like him who could be regarded as a figure in Guobei County was nothing in the eyes of others, especially in the eyes of the housekeeper of this family, and he didn't have the slightest feeling of being despised, and shouted to the group of guys and cooks who were tied up in the hall with a flattering face.
The two of them, who knew that they were quite shrewd, were shouted by their bosses, and they could only come out of the pile of buddies and wait for their orders.
"Guest officer, these two guys who know the most news in the store are the most clever and usually have the most news," the innkeeper said with a smile on his face.
Of course, the person he chose is indeed the most suitable for the entire inn, after all, the person he is facing now is not the kind of wronged man, but a behemoth who may crush himself to death at any time, in this time when it is not called a war and chaos, but it is definitely not a peaceful world, he is not a fool to do something that should not be done.
"Good! The shopkeeper also waits a minute, wait a minute, my master also wants to ask the shopkeeper some small questions" The housekeeper looked at the two guys and nodded, and then squinted his eyes and said to the innkeeper.
"Yes, yes! The contemptible will definitely know everything and say everything!!" The innkeeper secretly complained in his heart, but after seeing the butler's playful eyes and several heavily armed guards watching from the side, he could only answer like this.
In the next half an hour, the innkeeper and the two men who stayed behind watched hundreds of guards and maids clean up the entire inn, and then respectfully greeted a young man with a group of beautiful wives and concubines into the inn, and then he and the three of them were called to inquire about the situation.
When the innkeeper and the two men left satisfied, with a reward of at least five taels of silver, they only remembered that they were asked a few irrelevant questions by the noble prince, such as the interesting places in Guobei County, or those special products.
**********************
One room in the inn
In the rearranged room, Liu Qi was closing his eyes and meditating, while Wang Yuyan and the others were quiet after entering the room, watching that Liu Qi did not disturb the thoughts that his husband or future husband was thinking.
"Huh-" After waiting for a while, Liu Qicai opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath.
"Husband, have you gained anything? The situation in this world" After glancing at each other, Wang Yuyan stepped forward and asked.
"There are no details about those fairies and demons, but some of the general situation and the situation of Lanruo Temple were obtained from the innkeeper and the two guys" Liu Qi nodded, and his face was a little strange to the women.
"What is it? Husband, say it quickly."
"Looking at the appearance of the husband, I guess the history is very strange, right? After all, there are demons and monsters and so on."
"Can it be more bizarre than the ninja-ruled world of Naruto?" After hearing Liu Qi's words, more than 20 women began to discuss this topic, and for a while, the sound of tens of thousands of ducks made Liu Qi's face full of helplessness, which is probably one of the disadvantages of too many women and bringing them all around.
After waiting for a while, and seeing that all the women stopped to look at him, Liu Qicai spoke: "Girls, ladies, please prick up your ears and listen, the general situation of this world is like this"
Next, Liu Qi gave Wang Yuyan and others an introduction to the history of the version of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
In fact, when I first watched "A Chinese Ghost Story", Liu Qi was a little confused about the story time and era of the movie, the plot in the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" happened in a dynasty with chaotic government and poor people's livelihood, but the specific dynasty has not been explained in the "A Chinese Ghost Story" movie trilogy, and can only be speculated through the tone and title of the characters, and many analysts say that it may be in the last years of the Song Dynasty or the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Now Liu Qi can sue those analysis emperors, they all guessed wrong!
From the innkeeper and the two guys, although they didn't have a specific impression of those immortal cultivation sects, they still had a clear understanding of the three people such as Guo Beixian and their own dynasty emperors.
There is no difference in the world history of "A Chinese Ghost Story" before the Qin and Han dynasties, at least Liu Qi found the Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin Dynasty that dominated the world in the memories of the three of them, but since the Qin and Han dynasties, it has been completely separated from the history in the real world.
After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, it was not Liu Bang, the Han Gaozu, who was victorious, but Xiang Yu, the founding emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty.
Then under the leadership of this 10,000-strong enemy, he directly defeated the Xiongnu at that time, and then the national fortune of the Great Chu Empire lasted for nearly a thousand years, and was finally replaced by the current founding emperor of the Wu Dynasty. This Great Wu Empire, which Liu Qi had never heard of at all, lasted for more than three hundred years, but looking at the current situation, it is unknown how long the Wu Dynasty could survive.
Liu Qi doesn't have much interest in the history of "A Chinese Ghost Story" or anything, and the main thing is that he pays attention to the situation in Guobei County in the original work, such as Yan Chixia, Lanruo Temple, Tree Demon Grandma and so on.
Yan Chixia's situation was not found in the memories of the innkeeper and the two guys, and it was estimated that this person was too good at hiding his whereabouts. However, the relevant information of Lanruo Temple and the tree demon grandmother was found by Liu Qi in the inn shopkeeper and the two guys.
The first is Lanruo Temple, which is said to have been established hundreds of years ago at the end of the Great Chu Dynasty, when the incense in the temple was extremely prosperous, and many monks practiced in Lanruo Temple. But who would have thought that after the collapse of the Great Chu Dynasty, this temple would fall into bad luck, and it would be looted and killed by a passing rebel army in the years of war and chaos.
As a result, the entire Lanruo Temple was directly abandoned, and although the world was peaceful after the establishment of the Great Wu Dynasty, the Lanruo Temple was not re-established.
Because in addition to the large amount of money required to rebuild this temple, the gradual rumors of ghosts and monsters in Lanruo Temple are also stopping, not to mention the Taoist who is also a competitor fanning the flames.
As a result, the reconstruction of Lanruo Temple has been delayed until now, and finally it has become a forbidden place among the population of Guobei County.
Because as long as you dare to stay overnight in Lanruo Temple, everyone is dead!
There are those brave people who enter during the day and only say that those unlucky people who dare to spend the night in the Lanruo Temple have turned into dried corpses, and now the Lanruo Temple has become a forbidden place for the local population. Except for those outsiders who really don't know the situation, even beggars and homeless people don't dare to go to live in Lanruo Temple.
As for why Guobei County was not attacked by the tree demon grandma? Even the surrounding villages look passable? Regarding this issue, we have to mention the City God Temple and the Land Temple, which were not mentioned in the original movie at all! (To be continued.)
