Chapter 384: Six Ears (I)
Five years later, at the end of summer, the sun was blazing.
Merchant ships loaded with crowds docked at the port of Nanliu.
This is the third trading port in Beiju Luzhou, and all kinds of people get off the merchant ship, looking ahead with happy faces.
"This is Beiju Luzhou. ”
The first stop in Beiju Luzhou was greeted by a port city they had never seen before.
The city was bustling with cars and freight, horse-drawn carts loaded with goods ran on the smooth streets, and not far away, in front of a huge statue, the crowd knelt on the ground like a pilgrimage.
"King, what are they doing?"
The girl who had just disembarked asked.
"Worship. ”
The six-eared macaque that had turned into a human body looked at the statue and replied.
It was a two-sided statue with a handsome human figure on one side and a majestic monkey king on the other.
It was a statue of the Emperor of Heaven.
After seeing this statue, the crowd who had just come to Beiju Luzhou walked over to worship.
The six-eared macaque couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although Sun Wukong had not yet touched other continents, but through Beiju Luzhou, his influence had spread.
Beiju Luzhou has undergone tremendous changes in the past five years.
After the sages and wise men came here, they all described this place as a fairy country on earth, and poets and courtesans also loved to use various poems, songs and dances to express the prosperity and beauty of Beiju Luzhou.
Such a dramatic change in just a few years is incredible for the six-eared macaque.
So he decided to come and have a look.
"Let's go. ”
The six-eared macaque looked at the statue for a while, and then pulled the girl to leave the port.
"This is the first time this adult has come to Beiju Luzhou?"
A coachman noticed them and took the initiative to run over: "Beiju Luzhou is vast and sparsely populated, why don't you rent a carriage to travel?"
The six-eared macaque didn't want to pay attention, but the coachman saw that he was dressed well and didn't give up.
"Your lord can't bear to make this young lady tired?"
The coachman said: "My carriage travels thousands of miles every day, and it is blessed by the spiritual runes of Huaguo Mountain, and I will not feel the vibration when I sit in it." ”
The six-eared macaque stopped: "How much?"
"It depends on where you go. ”
The driver smiled: "We can count by the journey, or we can ...... by the number of days"
"How much do you need to sell me the car. ”
The six-eared macaque interrupted him.
The coachman was stunned.
Ten minutes later, the six-eared macaque drove the carriage out of the harbor with the maiden.
Shortly after leaving the port, they saw large rice fields.
The girl lifted the curtain and poked her head out to look at both sides of the road, the vast rice fields rippling in the wind.
"King, this rice field is so big!"
The girl had never seen such a huge rice field, and couldn't help but say, "It's just like the sand clearing grassland in the Eastern God Prefecture." ”
The six-eared macaque drove the carriage, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
He can cast spells and travel all over the world in one day, but for some reason, the girl doesn't like that kind of life, and always pesters him to take him slowly to all kinds of places.
The six-eared macaque drove the carriage in the middle of the rice field, and ran for half an hour, but still did not see the end of the rice field.
"It's huge. ”
The six-eared macaque couldn't help but think.
At this moment, two people suddenly flew out from the side of the rice field and rushed towards the carriage without stopping.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The two screamed in panic.
The six-eared macaque's face changed slightly, and with a wave of his right hand, there were two soft waves of qi, which bounced the two of them away.
"Oops. ”
Two of them fell backwards to the ground, and they were two teenagers.
"Boss, second, what are you fooling around!"
A middle-aged couple hurried out of a rice paddy.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
While apologizing to the six-eared macaque, they scolded the two children: "Tell you not to practice here, look, you almost hurt people." ”
The six-eared macaque looked over: "That's the Heavenly Dao of Ten Thousand Souls?"
"Yes. ”
The husband and wife were a little nervous: "These two children have just learned to fly, and they are not proficient yet, and the immortal master does not remember the villain, so forgive them." ”
The six-eared macaque wore a Taoist uniform, which made the couple mistakenly think that he was a Taoist priest.
"It doesn't matter. ”
The six-eared macaque nodded, a little surprised.
He knew that Sun Wukong had spent a lot of effort to educate Beiju Luzhou, but only five years later, how could even this kind of civilian be able to cast a magic spell.
"How many souls have been awakened? ”
The six-eared macaque couldn't help but think.
In the past five years, he didn't care too much about the affairs of Huaguo Mountain, but he heard rumors that the Wanling people had awakened on a large scale and devoted themselves to Beiju Luzhou, educating mortals in various places.
The husband and wife of the rice field are warm-hearted, and when they see that the six-eared macaque does not blame their children, they want to keep them to eat.
Although the six-eared macaque was not interested, the girl in the carriage pestered him and stayed.
The couple lives in a nearby village, where their entire village, as well as people from the two surrounding towns, manage the rice fields.
"This is a grain-producing area in the Land of All Souls. ”
The husband and wife introduced their work to the girl at home.
During the whole lunch, the six-eared macaque remained silent, but the girl chatted happily with them.
"Every child in our village has to go to school. ”
The couple said: "In the past few years, it was compulsory literacy, and my two children learned quickly, so they were recommended to the town to learn spells with other children. ”
"If they study well, in four or five years, they will be able to send them to Jingluo Academy, do you know Jingluo Country?"
The girl nodded: "I've heard of it." ”
Jingluo Kingdom is the hometown of Emperor Zhenwu, and it is also the most prosperous city in Beiju Luzhou, after joining the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Spirits, Jingluo Kingdom developed into the first city with a population of one million.
"The best children in Beiju Luzhou will be taken to Jingluo Country, and if they perform well, they can go to Huaguo Mountain in the future. ”
The husband and wife said: "If our children can go to Huaguo Mountain, it will be the glory of the ancestors, and we will be willing to die." ”
When they talked about Huaguo Mountain, their faces were full of longing, and the six-eared macaque felt a little complicated when they heard it, but the girl was full of relish.
Seeing her like this, the six-eared macaque couldn't help but sigh.
"It's still not as good as that Monkey King. ”
He felt a little jealous in his heart for some reason.
"Goodbye. ”
After lunch, the girl stood in the carriage and waved goodbye to the couple.
The six-eared macaque drove the carriage on.
"It's so nice here, my lord. ”
The girl watched the figure of the husband and wife disappear from view, and then said to the six-eared macaque: "The Emperor of Heaven is really powerful, and the people here seem to be very happy. ”
The six-eared macaque glanced at her: "Then are you happy?"
"Hmmm......"
The girl looked at the face of the six-eared macaque, and then said slyly, "As long as the king is there, I am happy." ”
The six-eared macaque's mood suddenly brightened again.
