Chapter 1294, the punishment of evil is no more
Since the last border pass, Ming Jiutian has never returned to the Punishment Palace, and if you calculate it carefully, it will be a long time.
But what Ming Jiutian didn't expect was that there would be a town of considerable scale on the road to Yinfengyu.
Looking at the town that appeared in front of him at some point, Ming Jiutian was also surprised, and with doubts, Ming Jiutian drove the Void Shuttle towards the town below.
Ming Jiutian clearly remembers that when he left, this area was still a desolate Gobi, and it is really weathery today.
With doubts in his heart, Ming Jiutian walked towards the town in front of him.
It is a low-rise building made of loess, and none of the buildings exceed two floors, which should be to resist the wind and sand of Yinfengyu.
The outermost part of the town was built with a wall made of the same loess, although it was not as good as the city defense, but it was quite imposing.
It wasn't until he walked in that Ming Jiu realized that although the town in front of him looked quite large, there were not many pedestrians on the streets.
After walking for a while, I saw a tavern called Asuchiken in the center of the street.
In such a desolate place, the name of a tavern is so poetic, it would be a pity not to go in and have a look.
"This young master has been in the dust all the way, please come in and rest..."
Xu saw Ming Jiutian at the door, and the service staff in the tavern walked out enthusiastically.
The man who came out of the tavern was an old man who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, his gray-white hair was neatly tied together by hairpins, and he looked elegant in a plain robe.
"The old man is polite, just choose the best wine and food you have here to serve on the table..."Ming Jiutian was not polite when he heard this, and walked straight in.
At this time, the tavern was very deserted, and it was said that even if it was not full at noon, there should be at least a lot of people, but there was no one in front of them.
"I'm sorry, business has been a little cold lately, but it made the young master smile..."The old man cleaned up the tables and chairs very politely, and motioned for Ming Jiutian to sit down.
"It's nothing, I'm just curious when was this town founded?" Ming Jiutian shook his head.
"The city in front of me is called Tomorrow City, and it was founded about a year ago..."The old man smiled.
More than a year ago, it happened to be the time when Ming Jiutian left, so it was reasonable not to know the existence of this small city.
"This small city is located on the only road to Yinfengyu, although it is a little desolate, but there should be a lot of pedestrians coming and going from the south to the north, how can business be so sluggish?" Ming Jiutian turned his head and asked.
"Alas... Speaking of which, it's all about the punishment of the evil palace..."Speaking of the bitterness, the old man of the tavern was also worried.
At this time, the wine and dishes prepared by the back kitchen of the tavern were brought up by Xiao Er and placed in front of Ming Jiutian one by one.
Seeing the four plates of delicacies on the table, Ming Jiutian also frowned, where is this delicacies, it is clearly sweet potatoes.
Roasted sweet potatoes, steamed sweet potatoes, fried sweet potatoes and a bowl of sweet potato soup, a real sweet potato feast, is really shocking.
"Uh... Boss, are you sure this is your best drink? Ming Jiutian was also stunned when he saw this.
"Let the young master see it, in the past, although the Evil Palace was small, it also had everything, just let this punishment evil palace make trouble, these are indeed the best in front of me..."Hearing Ming Jiutian's question, a trace of embarrassment flashed on the old man's face.
Ming Jiutian shook his head helplessly, fortunately his mouth was never picky, and after staring at him widely, Ming Jiutian grabbed a steamed sweet potato and ate it.
There's no way, since it's all on it, it's a little unreasonable not to eat something, I looked at the wine jug next to me, and I hope the taste of the wine is okay.
"Poof..."
One bite down, not to mention the hot, there is also a rancid smell that makes people faint after smelling it.
For Ming Jiutian, who had tasted countless wines, it was extremely unbearable, and he immediately squirted out.
"Uncle, what is this?" asked Ming Jiutian in astonishment.
"Our best wine," the old man replied embarrassedly.
"Are you sure it's wine?" Ming Jiutian's eyes widened.
"Uh... To be exact, it should be sake lees mixed with water...", the old man said, and a hint of embarrassment flashed on his face again.
The dish is a sweet potato feast, the wine is sake lees mixed with water, and it is also called the best wine and food in the tavern, and Ming Jiutian almost fell to the ground.
"By the way, uncle, I just heard you keep saying that all this is to punish the evil palace, can you tell me what is going on at this time?" Ming Jiutian took a bite of steamed sweet potatoes and asked.
"To be honest, most of the people in this tomorrow city chose to come here because they had no way out, and I heard that there was a sect in Yinfengyu called to punish the evil palace, they don't bully the weak, they specialize in punishing the evil and promoting the good, so we came..."The old man explained when he heard this.
"Then why is it the way it is today?" Ming Jiutian asked while eating.
"When we first came, we did live very comfortably here, although the environment was a little worse, but we had never been bullied, but just a few months ago, this punishment evil palace didn't know what had happened, burning and looting everywhere, and even the name of Tomorrow City was not allowed to be used anymore..."
The Punishment Palace was founded by Ming Jiutian at the beginning, and the main purpose is to better protect the people he wants to protect.
But today, the punishment of evil palace fell into the hands of Shi Ji, but the taste has completely changed, not to mention whether the cause of punishment can continue, but burning, killing and looting has violated the original intention of the establishment of the punishment palace.
"What does this have to do with the name?" Ming Jiutian was a little puzzled.
"It's a big deal, when we came here to be blessed by the Punishment Palace, we had this city, and it was also to thank the palace master of the Punishment Palace, Ming Jiutian, that this city was named Tomorrow City..."The old man explained when he heard this.
Ming Jiutian didn't expect that he still had such a relationship with this small city built in Yinfengyu, and most of the people in this small city came to him.
Jingling...
Syllable...
Boom...
Just as Ming Jiutian was talking with the old man of the tavern, there was a commotion on the street outside, and it sounded like there were quite a few people from the sound.
"This is..."Hearing the agitation outside, Ming Jiutian asked the old man.
"Here we go again, I can't live this day..."The old man sighed bitterly when he heard this.
Click...
At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open by a great force, and due to the force, the small wooden door shattered into several pieces and scattered on the ground.
"Zhang Laohan, is it time to pay this month's management tax?" Immediately, a middle-aged man with a beard walked in.
Looking at the big punishment words on the man's chest and back, Ming Jiutian also knew that it was the person who punished the evil palace who came.
"Master Li, I'm really sorry, I really don't have much business this month, can you see if you can give a grace period for a few days..."Zhang Laohan, who is also the old man, begged with a bitter face.
"This can't be done, I have given you a grace period of five days last time, I have already taken a big risk, the palace master has already explained when I came, and if you don't pay it today, you will bear the consequences..."
From beginning to end, Ming Jiutian didn't speak, and he had been eating sweet potatoes while watching, intending to see what kind of things the Punishment Palace would do today.
"Master Li, but you have also seen that the small shop really has no business, even if you force the old man to death, you really can't take it..."Zhang Laohan pleaded with a little crying.
"If you don't pay the tax, you won't tear down the plaque of Tomorrow Xuan that you will tear down, you can only count the crimes and punish them..."The big man who punished the evil palace looked at the plaque on the main hall and said intimidatingly.
