Chapter 18 A penny is hard to beat a hero
In the mountains, it is rugged and difficult to walk. It is still difficult for people to walk, but there is an old ox that jumps and jumps, as if walking on the ground.
Tuoba Pifu rode on the back of the old ox, squinting his eyes and wandering the world.
The old scalper was followed by a man and a woman, the man was tough and the woman was beautiful. The man is gentle, the woman is cold. It is Tuoba acacia and tea tea.
Tuoba Huai is as gentle and heavy as ever, at the age of twenty-three, his body is as tall as a pine, his face is as warm as jade, his eyes are as bright as stars, and his long black hair is tied back at will, adding a sense of elegance.
Cha Cha's face was covered with 10,000 years of ice, the revenge has been avenged, she no longer has to force a smile, and because of the experience of these years, she is full of hatred for this world, so that she has become cold as ice, and no one is allowed to enter. Only in front of Tuoba Pifu and Tuoba Huai, will occasionally show a flash of beauty.
The three of them went all the way to the west, out of Rongyu Mountain, through Chongwu Mountain, Taiqi Mountain, Leyou Mountain, all the way to stop and stop, with the encounter and peace, a year, has traveled thousands of miles away.
On this day, Cha Cha asked Tuoba Pifu, "Master, where are we going?"
Tuoba Huai replied: "Go to the Great Qin Empire." ”
Cha Cha had never heard of this name, so he asked, "Where is the Great Qin Empire?"
Tuoba Pifu replied: "In the vast land of China." ”
Cha Cha hadn't heard of it again, and asked again: "Where is the vast land of Shenzhou?"
Tuoba Pifu replied: "Go all the way to the west, out of the mountains, and you will be the vast land of China." There are mountains and water, but more often than not, plains. The land is fertile and supports countless living beings. There is a dense flow of people, gathered into a country, and its name is Daqin. ”
Cha Cha listened to it and asked, "Then why don't we just fly over? Why do we have to go so slowly?"
"Hey, yes, then let's fly over directly, I'm tired of staying in the mountains anyway. Tuoba Pifu's eyes lit up and readily agreed.
Chacha will fly, directly with the sword, and disappear in an instant.
Tuoba Huai smiled slightly, he can't fly, but he has no distance, no distance, shrinking the ground into inches, one step of a hundred miles but idle, at this moment with a slight smile, the figure disappeared instantly, and when it reappeared, it was already a hundred miles away, faster than Chacha.
Tuoba Pifu was dumbfounded, he could neither soar the clouds nor have no distance, but fortunately, he had an old scalper, and he kicked the old scalper in the ass, urging: "Hurry up and catch up." ”
Four purple clouds instantly appeared on the four hooves of the old scalper, and quickly spread to the whole body, only to see the huge cloud instantly vacate from the ground and chase forward with a galloping forward. It only took a moment to leave Cha Cha and Tuoba Huai far behind, and it was Tuoba Pifu who reminded it, so it slowed down and paid attention to the pair of senior brothers and sisters.
As for the big black dog, until everyone has long since disappeared, only to realize that the dissatisfied "Wang" sounded, the figure disappeared instantly, leaving a black lightning, in the sky and the earth, in a moment, it caught up with Tuoba Pifu, wanted to jump to the back of the old scalper, but was glared at by the old scalper, can only be unwilling to give up, want to go up to the flying sword of Chacha, but feel that the sword is too small, must be uncomfortable, so, it jumped directly into Tuoba Huai's arms, comfortable by Tuoba Huai to carry it forward.
After ancient times, heaven and earth were unkind, and all things were used as dogs. There are also monks who enslave the world with their strong magic power, making the people miserable and miserable. There is a man who can't bear the suffering of all sentient beings, and makes a great wish, vowing to return a bright future to all sentient beings.
Then he cultivated hard, gathered capable people and like-minded people, lasted for 10,000 years, and finally unified the vast land of Shenzhou, and drove all the monks who did not obey discipline into the 100,000 mountains.
The empire was newly established, and its name was Great Qin. Laws, roads, unification of writing, creation of weights and measures and money. With the imperial power as the center, the county system was established, and the world was divided into 36 counties. He also built eight cities in all directions in the vast land of Shenzhou to deter the monks who were driven out.
Directly east of the vast land of Shenzhou is Donglai City.
Looking at Donglai City from a distance, the whole body is black, like an ancient fierce beast, facing the 100,000 mountains alone and roaring in the sky, fierce confrontation.
This historic city covers an area of more than 300 miles, and there are countless mortals in it, and there are as many monks as the Qing who crossed the river. But in this city, there are very few cases of monks bullying mortals, because of the restrictions of the law, under the shadow of the powerful power of the state, the strength of the individual seems so insignificant.
Here, mortals admired the monks, but were not afraid, for they were protected by the laws of the land, and as long as they were in the city, they were treated with superficial fairness.
But if you go out of the city, then life and death will have to be your destiny. After all, the vast land of Shenzhou is too big, and there are countless wilderness places, and no matter how powerful the state apparatus is, it is impossible to cover everything.
At this time, at the east gate of Donglai City, there was a long queue, and everyone lined up to enter this historic city one after another.
In the team, however, there was a slightly strange combination. A man in his thirties rode an old ox, followed by two young men, and a big black bullshit followed.
It was Tuoba Pifu and his party. Tuoba Huai is the same as in the past, but Cha Cha is dressed up as a pretty boy at the request of Tuoba Pifu.
Tuoba Pifu did this, it was really for the sake of the world, otherwise with Chacha's appearance, he would inevitably attract bees and butterflies, and with Chacha's murderous nature, one would be destroyed. In order for the poor people who were ignorant of the world to live a little longer, Tuoba had to take some measures.
After three days of galloping, the three of them finally entered the vast land of Shenzhou and saw the first city.
When they saw this city, Tuoba Huai and Cha Cha were deeply shocked, in their cognition, they had never seen such a majestic city, nor had they seen such a dense crowd. You must know that in the mountains, although there are also places where people gather, but those are just small and large villages, how can they have such a scale.
Surprised and amazed at them, Tuoba Pifu laughed and scolded them for being turtles.
Cha Cha asked Tuoba Pifu, "Master, why do we line up like those mortals?
Tuoba Pifu said with a smile: "The Great Qin Empire has a rule that you cannot fly in the city, in order to show that everyone is equal. Since we are here, of course we have to follow the local customs. ”
As soon as the words fell, I felt something strange above my head, and when I looked up, I saw a monk jumping over the city wall more than three feet high, and his figure was very chic.
Tuoba Pifu's face turned red, and he said hesitantly: "This is just an example, it happened that we bumped into him, that person must not know the rules, and someone will naturally catch him and teach him the rules." ”
But looking at the strange look of the crowd around him, Tuoba Pifu himself doubted the accuracy of his words, but it was absolutely impossible for him to admit his mistake. Fortunately, his two disciples understood the principle of respecting the teacher, although they looked at him with a strange face, they didn't say anything, and quietly followed Tuoba Pifu in line.
Finally, it was their turn, and a few of them were eager to see the excitement of the city, so they quickened their pace and walked towards the city, but they were stopped by someone.
The guards who stopped them were the guards guarding the city gates, and when the guards saw that they were blind to themselves, they were about to enter the city, thinking that these people must be mountain village men who had come out of the mountains, and they were mountain village men who had no ability, so they stopped them, opened their mouths and shouted, "Stop, pay the city tax." ”
Tuoba Pifu was stunned, what is this city tax, how come he has never heard of it, is it because he has been away for too long, he remembers that there was no such thing before.
But if you don't know, you don't know, you have to ask, so Tuoba Pifu asked, "What is the city entry tax?"
As soon as the words fell, I heard the loud laughter from all around, as well as the interspersed word "turtle". Tuoba Pifu Rao is thick-skinned comparable to the city wall, and he blushed a little at the moment, feeling that he was embarrassed in front of the two disciples today, and he swore that he knew how well he knew the Great Qin Empire, but when it came to the end, he found that his eyes were also black.
Fortunately, the guard was accustomed to this kind of thing, and explained to them expressionlessly: "You have entered the city, you are protected by us, and you have to enjoy the facilities of the city, of course, you have to pay some price, one copper coin per person, three copper coins for the three of you." ”
For copper coins, Tuoba Pifu knew that when the Great Qin Empire was first established, it created a unified currency weights and measures. Based on copper coins, one hundred copper coins is one silver coin and one hundred silver coins is one gold coin. And one gold coin is enough for a family of three to live a prosperous life for more than three months.
There were a lot of gold coins in the past, but he didn't know where he had thrown them, and now he rummaged through his storage ring, but he couldn't find even a copper coin. He didn't, and Tuoba Huai and Chacha naturally couldn't have it. The three of them stared wide-eyed, and finally reluctantly stepped aside to discuss countermeasures under the urging of the pedestrians behind.
Cha Cha said: "Why bother, just break in, whoever dares to stop it, just kill it." I can hear that she is not joking, killing people is really easy for her, and in her heart, she has never taken human life seriously.
Fortunately, there is also Tuoba Huai, a gentle gentleman, who directly denied Chacha's method: "No, for this little thing, you must not make up and kill." ”
Tuoba Pifu came up with a solution: "Why don't we go over the wall and find a way in the city?"
But Tuoba Huai still disagreed: "No, if you don't tell you, it's considered theft, it's a villain." ”
Tuoba Pifu and Chacha glanced at each other, looked at Tuoba Huai and said, "Then what do you say?"
Tuoba Huai pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Why don't I go to the mountains to hunt some prey and exchange some money with these people?"
Tuoba Pifu was noncommittal, Cha Cha scoffed, but he also knew that he couldn't stop him, so he had to let it go.
