Chapter 15: Odd

Zhong Heng and his entourage followed Yang Tielai into the city of Jinyang Kingdom.

Smooth but slightly "wrinkled" stone slabs paved a wide road, and on both sides of the road stood rows of weapon racks, on which were placed all kinds of weapons, all of which were sharp.

In addition to the gods of gold and autumn, he is also the god of war and weapons, and most of the kingdoms that believe in him will have similar things as a sign of reverence for the gods.

Walking on such a road made Zhong Heng feel that he might have to go to war at any time.

The martial arts atmosphere here is really strong.

Behind the rows of weapon racks, there are rings made of stone barriers, which are obviously used for street fighting, and the weapons on the weapon racks can be easily used.

And along the way, Zhong Heng has never seen an empty ring.

It is no exaggeration to say that the people of Jinyang Kingdom seem to be either fighting or preparing to fight.

Of course, this is not all of Jinyang Kingdom.

After walking through the first street after entering the city, Zhong Heng felt that he had come to a lively town, with stone-built houses built on both sides of the road, and pedestrians coming and going, in an endless stream.

They wore clothes made of animal skins, carried bamboo baskets in their hands, and put food or things they needed, talked and laughed, and children ran around and played non-stop.

This street is also a place to sell things, and you can smell the mellow aroma of sake, the tempting aroma of rice, and a variety of animal skins, spices, and ingredients.

Fireworks on earth.

Zhong Heng inexplicably thought of such a word, and looking at the various things in front of him, he couldn't help but feel some feelings in his heart.

How long has it been since I've seen a human scene like this?

In the past five hundred years, although he has divided his incarnation and gone down the mountain, and has done a lot of things, he has never walked leisurely in the human city as he does now.

I don't have the opportunity to experience the fireworks of this era in detail.

Peaceful, carefree.

"It's all really good. Zhong Heng looked at the scenes on both sides of the road, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

Da-da-da-da!

At this moment, a group of small children who looked to be only five or six years old ran over.

"Grandpa Tie, Grandpa Tie!"

They first threw themselves to the loam iron and begged for a hug, and when the loam iron had hugged them, the children took out the sweet and delicious fruit from the small pockets of their animal skin coats and handed them to the loam iron.

also gave Zhong Heng and Shi Suying and others one each.

Then bounce off and continue to hang around and play.

"Very touching?" Shi Suying looked at Zhong Heng beside him, whispered, and said with a smile: "It is indeed rare to see such fireworks in the mountains, and our human race still likes to live in groups after all." ”

"Definitely. Zhong Heng bowed slightly, looked at the peace in front of him, and said in a secret voice, "No matter how isolated the Qi Refiner is, he is still a human race. ”

"It's a pity that in this land, there are not many peaceful countries like Jinyang Kingdom......" Shi Suying said this, paused, and sighed:

"The Terrans are still too weak, too fragile. Three hundred years ago, when the gods were at war, I had seen a kingdom ten times larger than the Kingdom of Jinyang, destroyed in the aftermath of the battle between the two true gods. ”

"......" Zhong Heng also fell silent, which is an indisputable fact.

Even if someone is under the protection of the Fang Clan of the Imperial Palace, the human race as a whole is still too weak, with less than a hundred god-level witch gods and less than ten immortal-level qi refiners.

Mo said that compared with the gods, even compared with those fierce beasts with no intelligence, it is far inferior.

And judging from the news Zhong Heng got before, most of the Jin Yang Kingdom has been involved in the battle between Mu Shen Jumang and Jin Shen Bei Harvest.

The peace and tranquility in front of you are like a pile of bird's eggs, which may collapse and shatter at any time.

"Gods ......" Zhong Heng seemed to feel something, looked up at the sky, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he regained his calm.

......

A moment later, Zhong Heng and Shi Suying and their party came to the home of Yang Tie.

Under normal circumstances, as the surrogate of the gods in the human world, the status of the earthly gods is very high, and the place where they live is naturally not bad.

It is usually a more ornate palace or attic.

However, Yang Tie's home is not like that, but a very ordinary-looking grass hut and courtyard, and in the courtyard there are white melons and fruits in the shape of spears.

This is the special product of Jinyang Country, "White Spear Fruit", which was brought back to Yuchun Cliff by Mu Lingshu before, and Zhong Heng also ate it, it tastes more like eggplant, but it is much bigger, the smallest one is more than a foot long, and the big one is even about three feet.

"Su Ying senior, please inside. Yang Tie walked ahead, opened the door of the grass house, and bowed down to make an invitation, "The golden shortbread and the autumn god wine are ready. ”

"Thank you. Shi Suying responded politely, and then entered the grass house with Zhong Heng and a disciple of the Three Mountains Sect.

The grass house looks small on the outside, but after entering it, it is found that there is something different, although the layout inside is very simple, but it is the best use of things, and the utilization rate of space is also very high.

It can be seen that this high priest of soil and iron is still very attentive.

In the center of the hall are wooden tables and chairs, on which clay bowls and pots are already arranged, and inside are steaming golden shortbread and sealed autumn sake.

"Pottery?" Zhong Heng was slightly stunned when he saw this, as far as he knew, the countries and tribes that sacrificed to the golden god were accustomed to making various utensils out of metal.

Although pottery is also used, metal products are used in various formal occasions or scenes where attention is paid to it.

Yang Tie's previous performance was obviously very fond of Shi Suying, and he should attach great importance to this "reception banquet" that was mainly to entertain her.

How do you use pottery?

"The little path leader should be Zhong Heng, the mage of the Three Mountains Sect. Yang Tie looked at Zhong Heng and said with a smile: "Don't be confused, since the old king ascended the throne a hundred years and sixty years ago, the pottery products and metal products of our Jinyang Kingdom are at the same level.

"Now that the new king is boarding, in order to show respect, he has formulated the rules for using pottery as a utensil for important occasions for a hundred years, and Su Ying's predecessors should know it. ”

"Hmm. Shi Suying nodded and explained to Zhong Heng: "The queen of the old monarch of Jinyang Kingdom, that is, the mother of the new king, was once the holy daughter of Tai Sui Palace, one of the ten halls of Anyang Wumen.

"Tai Sui Hall is the ancestral inheritance of the earth-line bloodline, and it is customary to use pottery products made of soil burning, and the old monarch cherishes the queen very much, so he formulates this rule.

Now that the new king has ascended the throne, and Huang Laojun's earthly envoy has come from Anyang to bless the new king, which has improved the status of pottery, and the old monarch simply promulgated the law that pottery should be used on important occasions. ”

Huang Laojun and even the god of the center of the earth is the only innate divine among the five elements gods, and he is also the head of the five gods and emperors, and the younger brother of the earth emperor Yue Jian, who is extremely noble.

It is said that when Huang Laojun was born in the earth, Yue Jian's family was overjoyed, and watered it with his own divine blood to nourish his growth, and a few drops of divine blood were scattered, and twelve human ancestors were born.

In a sense, Huang Laojun can be regarded as one of the origins of the human race.

As this sacred earthly oracle, his status can be imagined.

Such a big man came to Jinyang Kingdom to bless the new king, and it is indeed normal to change the rules here to show respect.

"I see. Zhong Heng bowed his head, but he had some doubts in his heart, he always felt that something was wrong, why did such a big man come to bless the new king of Jinyang Kingdom?

Could it be just because the new king's mother used to be the holy daughter of the Tai Sui Temple? But if you really think about it, Huang Laojun's earthly divine envoy is more noble than the Tai Sui Temple itself.

"Do you want to create an accident and go back to the mountain now?" Zhong Heng thought about it, he always felt that something was not quite right in the situation of Jin Yangguo, and it was no good to go into the muddy water this time.

Bang bang!

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the cottage, interrupting Zhong Heng's thoughts, and his consciousness moved slightly, and he "saw" who the person outside was.

It was the yellow-robed middle-aged man who had been watching him on the city wall before, Huang Laojun's earthly divine envoy, and beside him stood a great witch as tall as a giant.
