Chapter 2 The World of China
Today, there are a lot of caravans coming to Shiyangji, in addition to the original cousin Su brothers in the lobby, the proprietress Lin Qigu also went into battle in person, and even brought out the white cliff who was responsible for cutting vegetables in the back kitchen.
"Send it to that table. The seventh aunt buried her head in the account, and didn't look at the white cliff that had just come out of the back kitchen with a pig's head, and pointed to the corner of the wall with an orchid finger.
The corners of Bai Ya's mouth twitched, and after expressing his objection with the only movable muscle on his face, he reluctantly took the pig's head towards the corner of the wall.
Counting today, White Cliff has been in this world for a whole week.
According to his personal opinion, the hospitality of Gu Lin Inn is absolutely bad. How can there be a basket with a whole pig's head, and it will be served on the table like this!
It's a pity that this is the Gobi Desert in the north of the country, and the concept of white cliffs is out of place. Most of the drinkers here bring their own knives, and sometimes they don't even use chopsticks after a meal of wine and meat.
However, today is a little special, the two guests at this table in the corner should be out of the Saiwai for the first time, and they are not quite suitable for the hospitality of the Saiwai Inn.
One of these two people is a young man in his twenties, and the other is a middle-aged man in his forties.
They were dressed differently from the rest of the people in the inn, even in this windy and sandy Gobi Desert, they still wore blue-edged and white-bottomed Hanfu robes, crowned hats, and thick-soled cloth boots.
This is like a merchant in Saibei, but more like going out!
As soon as Bai Ya put down the basket containing the pig's head, a voice full of resentment came from his side.
"Xiao Er, there are so many flies in your store, how can people eat like this!" Sitting on the left side of the table, the fair-faced young man covered his mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, and at the same time used chopsticks to point a few green-headed flies flying on the pig's head.
Bai Ya turned his head to look at him blankly, and pulled out a chopstick from the chopstick holder on the table with his right hand.
After the chopsticks waved over the pig's head for a while, seven flies were like children whose heads had been knocked out, lying around the pig's head.
Looking at the few small things that were still twitching slightly, the fair-skinned young man turned pale and almost vomited, and it was estimated that he had lost his appetite at all.
His elder-like companion also stared at the flies on the table a little stunned.
White Cliff stopped at the table, did not speak, waiting for them to come back to their senses.
"Little Er, this pig's head...... Can you please take it back and cut everything?" The middle-aged man in his forties came back to his senses first and asked politely with a bitter face.
Bai Ya nodded, grabbed the pig's head with his left hand, threw it in the air, and pulled out the bone chopping knife he used to chop vegetables from his waist with his right hand like lightning. After a dazzling white light, the big pig's head silently divided into a dozen irregular pieces and fell back into the basket.
The two guests frowned slightly, but did not show any more surprise just now.
Bai Ya's heart moved, thinking that in the memory of the young man surnamed Bai, this kind of dressed Central Plains people rarely appeared in Shiyangji, and it might be a good opportunity to understand the world.
He immediately paid attention to these two people, and took advantage of the lobby to help, and from time to time he approached the table and eavesdropped on their conversation.
“...... Second uncle, with the strength of the caravan of our family, why do you need to take this desert trade route, all the way from Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang to the past? There are many horse thieves on this trade route, if there is a good one...... the young man asked with some doubts.
"What do you know at a young age, the head of the family once asked a great master to calculate...... The spatial boundary membrane of the Tengger Desert is the weakest point in the Liangzhou region......" the middle-aged man stroked his long hair and said softly.
"Second Uncle is talking about the Immortal Demon ......Position Mirror," the young man's eyes widened suddenly.
"Be careful!" the middle-aged man raised his hand to stop him, looked around at the white cliff with his back to them, and then replied softly, "That kind of place...... How can the family peep into it!"
The middle-aged man raised an index finger and pointed at it, "I'm just the eyes and ears of others, for those above...... Gather information!"
"Immortal Gate......" There was a hint of excitement in the young man's eyes.
"The child can be taught!" The middle-aged man nodded with a smile, closed his eyes, shook his head lightly and said, "Since the fission of heaven and earth, Shenzhou has opened up the world and turned one into ten thousand......
Bai Ya seemed to be running around in the lobby, unusually busy, but in fact, his attention was on the pair of uncles and nephews. The conversation between the two was not clear, but the little content made him more and more frightened the more he listened.
It turns out that this world has a lot to do with the world before him, but it is different.
Thousands of years ago, there was also the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in this world, but at the end of the Warring States Period, the year when the Qin State destroyed the Zhou Dynasty, history took a huge turn.
The Qin State did not unify the nations, the Han Dynasty did not appear, and there was a huge disaster in this world called the fission of heaven and earth, which is equivalent to the opening of the world only in mythology.
The fission of the land of Shenzhou is continuous, and the borders of the major countries are quietly and rapidly expanding. In a matter of years, the original landscape will become unrecognizable. Heaven and earth are filled with the aura of life, and all life begins to evolve gradually.
Today's China China is almost boundless, and ordinary people cannot cross the land of China in their lifetime. There are countless species of life, and in addition to humans, other intelligent races have been born, even barbarian beasts and demons.
The whole Shenzhou is divided into thirteen prefectures, including Hebei, And, Yan, Henan, Qing, Yang, Jing, You, Xu, Si, Yi, Liang, and Jiao.
The territory of each state is countless times larger than the original state, forming the original Warring States Seven Heroes, hundreds of vassal states as the second, and even including the east, south, west, and north, except for the major barbarian tribes in China.
Even so, human settlements and cities only occupy a small part of the territory of Shenzhou, and the cities are connected by air routes, numerous post roads and teleportation runes, and are dotted all over the land of Shenzhou like stars.
Beyond the human settlements and cities are the wilderness realms, the territories of all kinds of powerful wild beasts and demons.
Bai Ya's mind was in a mess, and he didn't even notice that the two uncles and nephews had left after settling the bill.
Many mysteries such as "Floating Mansion Ship, Teleportation Talisman Array, Space Boundary Membrane, Immortal Demon Position Mirror, Immortal Martial Sect" and many other mysteries lingered in his mind, making him have a strong interest in this world for the first time.
Bai Ya had already understood at this time that this was definitely not the imaginary ancient world, according to the meaning of the words of the two uncles and nephews, five or six thousand years had passed since the period of great fission between heaven and earth, counting the years before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the history was thousands of years longer than the world before him.
"Xiao Lengbang, what are you doing in a daze? Seventh Aunt is aiming at you again, hurry up and serve the food!" Just as Bai Ya was thinking wildly, Su Da quietly stabbed him, and his eyes gestured to the counter.
Bai Ya came back to his senses and walked towards the backyard with a blank expression.
Lin Qigu didn't find a chance to kill him, and glared at Su Da very unhappily, which made Su Er next to him snicker, and teasing Xiao Leng stick can be regarded as not much entertainment for everyone in the inn.
When he returned to the kitchen, he found that a lot of appetizers had been piled up on the stove, so he quickly pretended to be stupid and served the food to the lobby under the angry gaze of the lame three.
......
After staying for a week, Bai Ya had already discovered that the people in the inn who had been ignored by him seemed to be not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Because of the boning knife method, the first person who Gu Lin Inn noticed Bai Ya was the chef who taught the boning knife method to the fool in his memory.
In the limited memory of the young man surnamed Bai, it seems that the old man Mo who picked him up before had a good relationship with the lame three, and asked the lame three to take care of the fool one or two before he died, so the lame three taught him the boning knife method.
When the boning knife method was first practiced, the lame third was to let the fool use the boning knife to cut flies. Every day if he didn't cut off a fly, he would be severely whipped with a burning stick, and later the flies would be replaced with various cutlets. Under the supervision of the burning stick, the boning knife method has also completely become the physical instinct of a fool.
The second person in the inn who made Bai Ya remember deeply was the proprietress Lin Qigu.
Lin Qigu and Gu Lin Inn have been in Shiyangji for a long time, and her age and origin have always been a mystery.
When Bai Ya noticed that Lin Qigu was the fifth night he had traveled through.
He found that the proprietress did not sleep late at night, sitting on the roof of the inn with a melancholy face, holding the jar and drinking alone.
Bai Ya suddenly had a brain twitch at that time, and for no reason he had the romantic feelings of a literary and artistic youth, and he wanted to fly to the pretty proprietress like a thief, and talk about life with her.
As a result, he walked around the inside and outside of the inn, but found no bamboo ladder that could climb up to the roof. Just as he was paying attention, the proprietress came out from behind him like a ghost, and gave him a burst with a dark face.
After this headshot lesson, Bai Ya finally understood that the water in Gu Lin's Inn ~ was very deep, very deep......
The third master who is suspected of being a swordsman, and is suspected of being a light kung ...... It seems that there really is a very profound martial art in this world!
Even the Su brothers, he also found traces of martial arts. The familiarity of occasionally tiptoeing reminded Bai Ya of the lame third who was not lame.
Could it be that in addition to the knife technique, the third master also has advanced leg techniques?
The occasional inspiration made Bai Ya often involuntarily peek at the third master's right foot with strange eyes, and then he was firmly beaten with a burning stick several times. was beaten in the kitchen, and in the end he could only shrink behind Xiaoxin, the fire girl.
Whenever this happens, Xiaoxin will be very brave to look up to her little face and open her arms to become the shield of the white cliff, so that the third master can only helplessly put down the burning stick.
This girl is the most likable in the inn, and no one is willing to scold her and beat her.
Xiao Xin is the only one of the six people in the inn who has no martial arts, she is the youngest, and she only does things like boiling water and washing in the inn.
Because he faces the stove every day, his little face is jet black from morning to night, and only a pair of big black and white eyes reveal a sense of spirituality.
In the memory of the fool, he still saw the true face of the little girl during the New Year's holiday. Bai Ya has seen many celebrity models, but he also has to admit that the little girl who shows her true face is a beauty embryo, and she privately feels that this little girl has grown up, and she must be a pot of soup that will bring disaster to the country and the people.
In addition, Xiaoxin actually has something to do with the boy surnamed Bai, she was picked up from the Gobi Desert three years ago.
At that time, the little girl fainted on the Gobi Desert, and her body was still covered with other people's blood.
After the fool carried her back, Lin Qigu and Lame San warned him again and again that he was not allowed to mention the matter of the little girl in front of outsiders.
Bai Ya thinks about it now, those two may know a little bit about Xiaoxin's life experience. Maybe the little girl is in big trouble, so she is arranged in the kitchen all the year round, and she is covered with ashes, probably because she doesn't want others to see her appearance clearly.
