This goes to Wuzhou, thousands of miles away, the world is not very peaceful, there are many chaotic soldiers and bandits on the road, which can be called dangerous step by step. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
If it is an ordinary person, it is natural to have the intention of slacking off, and live in seclusion with jade and gold cakes.
However, Fang Mingguan Ning Ruochen is a member of the Dharma family, and he has always made promises, so this possibility is very small.
Then, it depends on his chance, and if he dies in the middle of the road, everything will naturally be suspended.
If he can still get to Wuzhou, it means that this Ning Ruochen is good in terms of character, destiny, or even luck, and he can be entrusted with important tasks.
Looking at this Ning Ruochen, he is also a talent of law, and there are many vacancies under Song Yu's command, and he has his own seat arrangement.
However, that's it, Fang Ming wouldn't secretly send someone to guard and spy on anything.
Give you a chance, see if you grasp it, grasp it, it is your fate! If you can't grasp it, it's also your fate! I can't complain about others!
Fang Ming has been a city god for more than ten years, and he has already seen all kinds of things in the world, and now his heart is becoming more and more indifferent, high up, looking down on the common people.
In the early morning of the second day, after bidding farewell to Ning Ruochen, Fang Ming rode a black donkey and set foot on the journey again.
"Hehe, sir, I ate the blood food last night, when will I come again?"
Below, the black guy stretched out his huge tongue and licked the donkey's mouth, as if he was still a little unsatisfied, and he couldn't wait for a few more blind people to let him feast.
"When the time comes, you are still good at taking pictures, if you let outsiders see it, you are ready to be a black donkey for a lifetime!"
"I understand. The black donkey said.
Licking his lips again: "Yesterday's supper was really good, after exercise, the meat was delicious." Very chewy!"
"Is there a difference between human flesh and human flesh?" Fang Ming asked casually.
This black donkey was lifted by Fang Ming yesterday and temporarily turned into a demon body. The deeds are profound, and they act in the flesh. Naturally, it is not affected by the evil spirit in the army, and the besieging armor soldiers will be killed with a single hand, which can be called a demonic power!
"That's natural, if it's delicious, it's the best for boys and girls, smooth and smooth, you want to eat the second one after you eat one!
As soon as the black donkey mentioned eating, his eyebrows fluttered.
"Bastard!" Fang Ming's palm glowed with golden light. slapped on the top of the black donkey's head, and it screamed in pain.
"How can your master kill innocent people indiscriminately, you are not only the mount of the deity, but also remember the deity, those who are riddled with sin and full of evil, just eat, but if it hurts the good, do not blame the deity for being ruthless. Let your soul fly away!"
When he said this, Fang Ming's voice was full of expression.
"Ah...... "The black donkey was half-kneeling on the ground, and tears actually appeared in the donkey's eyes.
"As the god of the city, the deity wants to bless the people. If you commit this taboo, heaven and earth will not tolerate it, remember to remember!" Fang Ming said leisurely.
Another whip was drawn. "Still kneeling, hurry up and get on the road!"
"Yes!" the black donkey stood up. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Master." This direction doesn't seem to be Chengdu?"
"Yes, we won't go to Chengdu today, let's go somewhere else!"
Since Shi Longjie is not in Chengdu, he learned a lot of Shi Wang's secrets through Xie Cheng yesterday, and it seems a little chicken to go to Chengdu again.
Fang Ming wanted to go to Chengdu, just to secretly observe Shi Longjie's qi and find out the news by the way.
And now that he heard that Shi Longjie led his troops to besiege the Nine Heavens Xuannu Sect, his heart suddenly moved, and he changed his purpose.
"Huh?" the black donkey was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask again, and then spread his hooves and galloped......
Yudu City, whose real name is Fengdu City, later came out of the ghost king, and the whole big city was connected within a radius of 100 miles, and it became a ghost domain, so it changed its title.
The ancient books contain: "'Fengdu' has beautiful scenery, gurgling streams, mountain flowers, scenery and mountains, birds and springs, which are intoxicating." ”
Since the ghost queen of Xudu, it has become a place where ghosts gather in Shu, the yin qi is everywhere, the perennial clouds are shrouded, the ghosts wander during the day, and the population is extinct.
On this day, from the distance on the road, a figure came from afar, and when I looked closer, it turned out to be a scholar in Tsing Yi, riding a black donkey.
"The rumors seem to be wrong!" Fang Ming looked at the scenery on both sides and said to himself.
In the rumors, ghosts are rampant near Xudu, not to mention human population, there are not even animals, and in Fang Ming's opinion, he has now entered the territory of Xudu, but he can occasionally find some traces of human existence, even in other places in Shu.
"It turns out that there are still people here!" Fang Ming looked at the ridges in the distance, and there was a different color in his eyes.
"Hou Shengzi, where did you come from?" As soon as they arrived at the side of the ridge and got off the black donkey, a shriveled old man came up and asked, with a smile on his face, but there was a thick coldness in his eyes.
Fang Ming looked around, there were a few farmers and farmers who were farming around, although their expressions were numb, their eyes were still moving, especially after seeing him, several people glanced at each other, as if they had thought of something, and a smile appeared on their faces, but with a hideous look.
This expression was well hidden, almost flashing, but it couldn't escape Fang Ming's eyes.
"I am from Liuzi County, I came out to study, I heard that Xudu is a ghost town, I am quite interested, I came to visit!"
Fang Ming tilted his head, made a newborn calf like he was not afraid of tigers, and said proudly.
"Hey...... The little brother is so bold! The city of Xudu is notorious in Shudi, and he dares to come and travel, it is really bold!"
The shriveled old man praised loudly.
Fang Ming scratched his head, his face was a little shy, and he interpreted the immaturity and youthfulness of young people very well.
"Won the prize, won the prize, but when I got here, I found that it seemed that the rumors were wrong, can the old man tell me the details?"
Fang Ming asked.
"Haha...... Although it is the territory of the capital here, there are also living people, it is not a paradise, the little brother came from afar, and invited into our village to rest, we people have escaped from the world for a long time, the outside world is difficult to understand, and there are many things to ask for!"
The old man stepped forward and took Fang Ming's arm and said very affectionately.
The surrounding farmers and peasant women also came up to help, and even had the intention of forcibly taking them away if they didn't comply.
Fang Ming's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "The elder is invited, don't dare to refuse!"
"Good! good!" The old man threw away the farm tools and led Fang Ming's black donkey directly, leading the way in front.
The other farmers and peasant women were the same, they couldn't even take care of the farm work, and surrounded Fang Ming, as if they were afraid that he would escape.
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!" Fang Ming sighed inwardly, but he didn't shirk, and followed the old man all the way for a few miles, coming to a small village.
This Zhuangzi is not big, up to 100 households, although the houses are a little dilapidated, but they can still live in people, the most eye-catching, is a ghost head token hanging at the head of the village, with green fangs, it is very eye-catching.
"This is handed down from the capital city, it can avoid evil ghosts, we can survive here, it all depends on this!" The old man saw that Fang Ming looked at it a few more times, and quickly explained.
"Come, come, come! My rice wine is a must, it has been stored for many years, and I have been reluctant to drink it, so I will go to Kaifeng today......"
The old man saw that Fang Ming seemed to be very interested in that ghost card, and he looked at him left and right.
He sent a half-old boy away: "Go and inform my mother-in-law, kill the hen, and entertain the guests!"
Fang Ming was forcibly dragged into the village by the old man, and from the cracks and windows of each house, there were a lot of eyes, which made people have goosebumps.
Through the window, Fang Ming could see numb and pale faces, thinking that because he had not seen sunlight all year round, he looked a little pale and bloodless.
The old man pulled Fang Ming into a courtyard by himself.
The mother-in-law in the courtyard got the news and was grabbing the hens to slaughter, and there were a few big girls and little daughters-in-law, cleaning up the tables, chairs and benches.
"Come, Hou Shengzi, let's go into the house to talk!" the shriveled old man greeted his mother-in-law and invited Fang Ming into the back room.
The creaking door was closed, and the sound outside was muted to silence.
The old man smiled and said: "The cold house is simple, there is not even tea, and I have neglected the distinguished guests!"
"It's okay...... Fang Ming shook his head and asked again: "In the next journey, I saw a lot of strange things, and I asked the old man to solve his doubts......
"Ask, ask......" said the old man.
"May I ask where the old man came from?"
"Most of us are from poor backgrounds, and most of us can't afford to pay taxes and have fled from our families, alas...... It's been a hard day!," the old man sighed.
Fang Ming couldn't help but sigh a little, this harsh government is still above the evil ghosts!
"In Xia, I have heard that ghosts are rampant, may I ask how the old man and the village protect themselves?
"This is all the mercy of the leader of the ghost king of Xudu, who only accepts some offerings from us every month, and then distributes ghost cards, with this, ordinary wandering spirits and fierce ghosts do not dare to come to disturb ......"
"Oh, I don't know what kind of sacrifice it is?" Fang Ming was a little confused.
"It's just chickens, dogs, pigs and sheep, and the whole village has a ......," the old man said here, obviously concealing it.
"Oh, I see!" Fang Ming said.
Next, Fang Ming asked some more questions, and the old man fooled the past, but there were also some real materials that Fang Ming set out.
This is indeed under the rule of the ghost city of Xudu, but there are also people who live, like this village, there are many nearby, under the strong constraints of the ghost king, basically not harassed by the ghosts, and even some people have swam in the city of Xudu, it is said that it is also densely populated, and it is impossible to distinguish between people and ghosts.
After another conversation, the wooden door opened, and the old man's mother-in-law came up with a large pot full of chicken soup.
The fragrance was overflowing, and even the old man himself swallowed his saliva fiercely.
"Come on, use it first!"
The mother-in-law set the dishes and chopsticks, and put on a small jar of rice wine, and poured the yellow wine into the bowl, stirring up the moving waves.
Seeing this, the old man's own eyes were straight.
"Here, do it!" The old man picked up the wine bowl, and without waiting for Fang Ming's response, he drank it all impatiently, sighing with satisfaction, looking extremely comfortable.
"Hehe......" Fang Ming shook his head with a smile, and also took a sip of rice wine, the taste was average, and it was even more astringent.
He drank all the wine, and naturally looked down on it. I sandwiched another piece of chicken and ate it slowly.
Seeing that he began to drink wine and eat meat, whether it was the old man or other idle people around him, they all looked relieved and relieved.
Some of them looked playful, and some of them had pity on their faces. (To be continued.) )
