Qulao City, located in the southwest border of the Central Plains, from here to the west is the Kunxiling Mountains, Mangmang Mountains block traffic, but also block the influence of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In fact, the Central Plains Dynasty's control and influence on Qulao City was only nominal, although there were also a small number of officials from the Central Plains Dynasty in the city, but the actual control of Qulao City was in the hands of the Qulao people themselves.

The Qulao people have been active in the Kunxiling Mountains in the form of a tribe for a long time, and this tribe has a certain blend with the civilization of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the Central Plains Dynasty gave the chieftain of the Qulao tribe as a vassal and allowed it to build Qulao City in the border area, which is actually a political means to stabilize the southwest border.

By the standards of the Central Plains, the Qulao people are still barbarians who are not civilized enough.

Chu Qing is the first time to see this kind of southwest exotic city, and the Central Plains rammed earth, masonry, wood as the mixed structure of the city wall, the city wall of Qugao City is all made of blocks of hard stone, the city wall is not as tall as the Central Plains, but the degree of solidity can not be underestimated.

"This Qu Prison City doesn't seem to be affected by the surrounding monsters?" Chu Qing said strangely, unlike the desolation that he had seen all the way that was ravaged by monsters, the Qu Prison City was orderly, although it was not prosperous, it could be regarded as peaceful and calm.

Emperor Meng was silent, judging from the induction of the demon refining tripod, there were at least dozens of monsters near this city, but there was no obvious discovery in the city, could it be that the monsters were all in the reckless mountains and forests in the west of the city?

If that's the case, it will be very troublesome to catch the old demon to refine, and it will be much more dangerous, after all, most of the monsters are generated by birds, beasts, scales, insects, etc., and they will have a clear advantage in the mountains and forests.

"You guys come and see this. Jing Tang stopped in front of a statue that was being processed.

The statue was a half-human, half-snake monster.

Chu Qing looked at it and said, "Is this the god of Qu Jiaoren?"

Di Meng said coldly: "That's obviously a monster, these barbarians believe in monsters. ”

Chu Qing said with a smile: "It looks no different from the ancient gods believed in by the people of the Central Plains, and there are many half-human and half-beast gods in our legends." ”

Emperor Meng Zhengse said: "It depends on a civilization's understanding of this world, the ancient ancestors of the Central Plains did also believe in monsters as gods, but that was because of ignorance, and today's Qujiao people are still in a state of barbarism and ignorance!"

Jing Tang said: "I know this kind of belief, they worship the power of monsters, and in my hometown, there are many such things. ”

Emperor Mengwei said: "What about you, do you also worship a monster in your tribe and worship it as a god?"

Jing Tang bowed his head and was silent for a moment before he whispered: "The Barbarian Mountain Technique I learned is inherited from a powerful demon king, we call it the God of Barbarian Mountain, and our tribe is also called the Barbarian Mountain Clan. ”

Chu Qing was speechless, but Di Meng was speechless: "Demon King, that is equivalent to the strength of our Terran True Saint Realm Immortal Cultivators!

Jing Tang shook his head: "This is a very old legend, in the era of the god of the barbarian mountain, the human race and the demon race could still live in peace." ”

"Tell me some unreliable myths. Di Meng pouted and said, "Okay, since you have already arrived in Qujiao City, let's find a place to live first." ”

Chu Qing saw at a glance that there was a Central Plains-style inn nearby, and said busily: "Why don't you go to that one." ”

Di Meng nodded: "Okay, that's it." ”

Although the inn is in the style of the Central Plains, the guy is a strong young man, seeing Chu Qing and the other three dismounted at the door, the guy was stunned, took the reins, gestured, and motioned for the three to enter the store by themselves.

"Yo, rare guest, Central Plains people?" The innkeeper is an old man in his fifties, and he is also from the Central Plains when he hears the accent.

Chu Qing said with a smile: "Yes, it's time to take care of your old business, and I'm tired of preparing three clean guest rooms and some food." ”

"That's a good feeling!" The old man smiled: "The guest room is clean, but this food, here is not as good as the Central Plains, there are not so many exquisite tricks for eating and drinking." ”

Chu Qing took five taels of silver and put it on the counter, and said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as it's clean." ”

The old man got the silver, and smiled: "Okay, don't worry, the three distinguished guests will be fine immediately." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly instructed the kitchen to prepare food and drinks.

The wine and food were quickly prepared, and Chu Qing and the others sat down around a table and ate some food each.

The innkeeper saw that the business in the store was also deserted, so he brought two dishes and a pot of wine, came over with a smile, and said: "It's not often that I have the opportunity to talk to the villagers in the Central Plains.

Di Meng took off the hat on his head, nodded and said, "Okay, the old man just sit down, we just have something to ask your old man for advice." ”

When the old man saw Emperor Meng's beautiful appearance, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a Peugeot woman, the woman of the Central Plains is really not comparable to the mother-in-law in this remote world." ”

Jing Tang listened to the old man praise Emperor Meng, and nodded sincerely.

Chu Qing just laughed secretly, the old man's words were exaggerated, and there were very few women in the Central Plains who had the appearance of an emperor's dream.

Perhaps he was used to hearing such praise for a long time, Di Meng didn't care about the old man's praise of his appearance, but just asked with a smile: "I don't think there are many people from the Central Plains in this Qu Prison City, I don't know how many years the old man has lived here?"

"It's okay for the people of the Central Plains to come to this hellish place. The old man took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "Most of the Central Plains people who live here are prisoners who have been exiled here, and they can't help themselves. ”

"Exile, what's going on?" Jing Tang didn't understand.

"It is a way of punishing criminals by sending them to a place far from home and in a harsh environment, and without a pardon, they are not allowed to return for the rest of their lives. Chu Qing explained.

Jing Tang was a little surprised: "You Central Plains people can still do this? Doesn't that mean letting those people die?"

"It's better than death, some criminals with more serious crimes have to be killed directly. The old man laughed.

Jing Tang hurriedly asked the old man, "Were you also exiled here?"

The old man rolled up his sleeves, revealing a fire mark on his wrist, and said with a smile: "See for yourself." ”

Jing Tang seemed to understand, nodded, and said no more.

Chu Qing said: "It seems that the old man's experience is not simple. ”

The old man shook his head and laughed at himself: "It's all been a fool for many years, and the little old man was really not afraid of the sky and the earth when he was young." ”

Di Meng blinked: "The sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, that old man is a terrible monster?"

The old man glanced at Di Meng and said strangely: "Monsters? ”

Di Meng hurriedly asked, "Why don't I see the common monsters here?"

The old man's face was a little strange, he poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, and did not answer Di Meng, but asked instead: "It seems that you still don't know anything about this place, I don't know what the three of you want to make when you come to Qu Prison City, maybe the little old man can help a little?"

The three young men exchanged glances with each other, and Chu Qing smiled: "What kind of business is there to make a fortune in this place? ”

The old man said: "This place is indeed deserted and barren, but Kunxi Ridge in the west of the city is a treasure mountain, rare beasts, cherished medicinal materials, all of which are rich businesses!"

"Cherishing medicinal materials, it sounds like a business that can make a fortune, can the predecessors have a way?" As soon as he heard that there were cherished medicinal materials, Chu Qing came to the spirit.

Emperor Meng glanced at Chu Qing and said to himself, "I'm more interested in seeing the monsters here." ”

The old man slapped his face and said with a smile: "You two are talking about the same thing, if you want to cherish medicinal materials, don't you have to talk about business with the monsters here......

The three of them pricked up their ears to hear the old man speak clearly, but the old man didn't say any more, just poured himself a drink.

Chu Qing hurriedly took out ten taels of silver and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "It's not a respect, if you can make this rich deal, the younger generations will naturally have a lot of gratitude!"

The old man smiled and accepted the money, and said happily: "Listen to me......
