058: Street Hunting
The three of them leaned towards the city gate, and after examination, examination, and identification, they were allowed to enter the city.
Gu Changsheng led the three fats, and Li Zhu crossed the road all the way and went out of the door. and the outer city, into the bustling.
What catches your eye is a wide street, small stalls, and rows of neat and dazzling shops.
The boiling voices, the shouts of selling.
Cars and horses, passers-by walking the streets.
All kinds of things are different, and people come and go who are not related to each other.
It's like a swimming fish that has been immersed in a sea tank since childhood. He was thrown into the sea by accident.
The colorful street scene fascinated the eyes of Sanpang and Li Zhu, making both of them stand in place, quite at a loss.
"This, there are so many people......"
"My old man really didn't lie to me, the girls in the city are really much more clever than the ones in our village......"
The two of them stood still and muttered, although Gu Changsheng behind them was also amazed. But he was somewhat resistant, and he didn't stand still, so he stepped forward at the moment, dragged the two silly boys one in one hand, and walked to the side of the street.
"Don't be stupid, block the side door, do you want to be scolded?"
"Three fat! Didn't you come to the city to visit your relatives this time? I've asked before, the port heads west, and when you can smell the sea breeze, you can catch a passer-by and ask. β
"Li Zhu, your mother wants you to go into the city to buy fine noodles, right? I also inquired about this, the shop goes to the east, you have to go through the street that sells dry goods first, and then you can go to the rice and noodle shop. β
Gu Changsheng brought the two of them into the city this time, and naturally they also had their purpose.
also took into account the stupidity of their own kids, and the parents of both parties specially asked Gu Changsheng to help him. Gu Changsheng only thought that others trusted him at first, but he knew it on the road......
It turned out that in the early years, his physical body had lived in the city with his biological father for a year and a half.
Although the specific reason is unclear, on the whole, Gu Changsheng can be regarded as a farmer who has entered the city, so he is naturally well-informed.
Seeing that even after hearing the request, the two of them were still confused on their faces. Gu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh, he stood still and spoke.
"I don't feel at ease with the way you two look like this...... Well, I'll settle you down first, and I'll take care of my own business. β
Unexpectedly, these words made the two of them embarrassed, and the three fats took the lead and leaned forward half a step. An embarrassed look appeared on his face and he said apologetically.
"Don't bother Brother Gu, we're not children anymore, can we still get lost? Li Zhu! Don't be stunned, let's arrange it ourselves, let's go. β
The three fat looked down, and the latter knew it. The two rural men dressed in coarse cloth reached a consensus, said hello to Gu Changsheng, and walked straight to the east - looking at this appearance, they should have planned to arrange Li Zhu's affairs first.
Gu Changsheng wanted to deal with the two of them first, but these two stunned people were smeared with oil on the soles of their feet. This was just a flash of effort, and it disappeared directly into the crowd.
It's fast.
Gu Changsheng's right hand hanging in the air paused for a moment, and finally fell helplessly, and then shook his head gently.
Forget it, since the two of them have their own plans, why should Gu Changsheng forcibly mix in? After all, it's not a three-year-old kid going out of the house......
Thinking of this, he also turned around and walked straight towards the north street.
East Side.
This is the main urban area that occupies a piece of the northwest of Orange Island, and according to the information collected by Gu Changsheng in the past few days, he can roughly deduce that this is a large town that integrates ports, exchanges, life, and various entertainments and justice.
The permanent population must be 300,000 miles away.
I have to say that through this vague number, Gu Changsheng has also been able to deduce some more subtle information.
For example......
This seemingly feudal social background has actually developed to a certain extent.
Gu Changsheng is quite interested in history, and he had learned some relevant information in the early years. And for now, these things happen to be universal.
And the most typical of them is the number of inhabitants that each dynasty can accommodate!
During the Han Dynasty, the capital Chang'an could accommodate 500,000 people. From then on, to the Tang Dynasty, the capital city that could accommodate millions of people also existed! This figure is quite indicative and can be based on reality......
You know, these are the total population of the capital.
And what is this East Side?
It was far from the corner of the capital of today's court.
It is a place away from culture, communication, and even a unique style of behavior.
According to the division under the rule of Zhenwu today, Orange Island is analogous to a province, the town is comparable to a city, and the following townships and towns are all similar to their names and scales.
The so-called leopard in the tube can be seen. Since this eastern city can have such a population, and so on, it involves other states, capitals, and even capital capitals......
The number of people must be only a little more!
Comparing each other like this, Gu Changsheng suddenly knew it.
"This dynasty under the rule of Zhenwu, since it can support so many people, it must have developed steadily for many years."
He was thinking like this as he walked into the city. Walk through the shopping street and enter the flow of people. After passing through the seventh alley, turning six mouths, it was not until three o'clock later that Gu Changsheng stood in a certain place.
I have to say that this boundary is really a bit down-since Gu Changsheng turned that hole, he can clearly feel that there are not many pedestrians coming and going in this area at all.
You can't see the small stalls and vendors that wander through the streets and alleys, and you can't see the high-rise storefronts with hot shops.
All that catches the eye are old, crooked, and even abandoned, low-rise bungalows.
is so good-looking, it can really be called the word 'sloppy'. And Gu Changsheng has come all the way, and the apprehension in his heart has also increased by three points.
This...... Is it in the wrong place?
The address given by the Kege guy refers to this place.
It's just that it is limited by the background of this era...... Gu Changsheng could only know where the street was, but he didn't know where the building was. In desperation, he could only go around the street twice.
But the more he walked, the more confused he became.
Because Gu Changsheng didn't see a good storefront at all.
But everything that can be seen and seen is an old storefront that has been upside down, demolished, and dilapidated.
In this hellish place, you tell me that the 'monks' live and work in this kind of realm?
Gu Changsheng stood on this broken street.
He frowned, reached into his arms, and groped for a while. He took the small token in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while.
Address...... That's right.
He just stood there dumbfounded, and a somewhat absurd thought not only came to mind.
Am I being tricked by that guy?
The thought just came to mind, but it was abrupt...... Gu Changsheng felt a strangeness.
His trouser leg suddenly moved.
Gu Changsheng subconsciously looked down, and without concentrating, he saw a translucent gray arm coming out of the floor and clenching his trouser leg.
As if sensing Gu Changsheng's gaze, it took advantage of the situation and pulled it twice, then let go, and actually gave him a direct thumbs up to Gu Changsheng.
A thumbs up to you.
ββ¦β¦β
Gu Changsheng felt that his brain was a little insufficient.
In broad daylight, this ......
Haunted?
Between his thoughts floating, before Gu Changsheng could react, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Brother Gu, you really came."
This movement is not unfamiliar, and at this time, Gu Changsheng is also slightly moved. He was about to look up, but he saw that the human hand below had suddenly vanished.
This hand is as strange as if it has been forcibly fixed by some means. Now that he is going back and forth abruptly, Gu Changsheng is also deeply impressed.
He looked up, turned around, and said to the visitor with some curiosity.
"This ...... Is it Brother Yan's means? β
Yes, the person who came was none other than the Vientiane Sect descendant who had had contact with Gu Changsheng before, Yan Ping!
His dress at this time was no different from the one he met that day, with a long robe and cloth shoes to tie his hair, which looked refreshing and had a subtle bookish temperament.
"Hehe, Brother Gu guessed well, this is exactly the means below."
"I set up the Yin Spirit here to wait for visitors to come to the door. After confirming the identity, I will introduce the visitor and lead the visitor to the real Vientiane Tower. β
"And my inheritance is good at some remote methods, and among them, I am also the most proficient in the method of controlling the spirit."
Explaining in this way, Gu Changsheng saw Yan Ping spread his hands at himβthe blue-white mist visible to the naked eye began to creep, condense, and finally closed into a ball at the palm of his hand.
Hedgehog head, small belly pocket. Five short bodies, fat faces...... At first glance, Gu Changsheng already saw it clearly.
It's a miniature male doll.
He looked to be in his early two years old, and at this time, he was sitting in the palm of Yan Ping's hand, opening his mouth to beat Hache.
"Brother Gu is just looking for a while?"
These words made Gu Changsheng suddenly come back to his senses.
"You just watched me dangling back and forth?"
The latter shook his head again and again, eagerly explaining.
"Of course not, how could I have that bad taste. It's just that the cabinet guy specifically mentioned it before, so I specially arranged such a screening process. β
"If you don't have a token in your hand, you won't be able to attract the Yin Spirit here."
"And when the Yin Spirit appears, I'll feel it too. When the time comes, when you go out to meet, it also saves the possibility of mortals stumbling into the Vientiane Building by mistake. β
Saying this, Yan Ping also showed an embarrassed expression.
He really didn't expect Gu Changsheng to be able to hold on, and without comparing the token with the address, he turned around several times so bluntly......
Honestly, there is some truth to this.
But Gu Changsheng still has a question.
"Did you take into account the possibility that if there was an accident, some pedestrians would wander in and out of it?"
Not to mention anything else, naughty kids don't care about these doorways. Half-grown boy, no one can hold it down when he makes a fuss.
Yan Ping smiled when he heard this.
"If you don't stay here for a long time, a yin spirit will appear at the right time, and you can give a little hint. For example, dragging the hair, blowing the back of the neck, and grabbing the little trouser legs. β
"How have ordinary people ever seen such a battle? It's really suffered, and it's a skill not to be scared of weak legs. β
When Gu Changsheng heard this, his face darkened......
Is this the case with the co-authoring of the like just now?
Forget it, I still don't think much about it. Oops!
"Alright, no more talking. Brother Yan led the way...... Shhh β
If the Yin Spirit had a reaction, Yan Ping would have sensed it. Doesn't it take time for him to realize that something is going on here, and then come back?
This kid appeared directly behind him in the blink of an eye.
Gu Changsheng suddenly had a bad premonition.
But before he could say anything, he saw Yan Ping go straight forward, walked to the corner, and raised his finger to the side.
"Brother Gu, the real Vientiane Building is on this street next door."
