The wheels covered with a layer of iron rolled slowly, leaving two deep wheel marks on the withered yellow grass.
Li Huowang, who was sitting on the carriage, looked at the grass in front of him and recalled in his mind the last time he came to this place.
Li Huowang actually didn't know much about Qingqiu. Apart from knowing that most of the people in this place were nomadic tribes and that the people here were lean and dark, he didn't know much about anything else.
By the way, he still remembers two very special sects in Qingqiu, the Bardo Temple that worships death, and the weird Lion Dance Palace.
"The grass in Qingqiu is really yellow. Does this mean something?" Li Huowang tilted his body slightly to the left and ran his fingers through the yellow grass.
Then he remembered the natural disaster not long ago. The natural disaster that caused the loss of taste and smell lasted only three days and then disappeared.
This is not something to be happy about. This natural disaster is insignificant, but what if the next natural disaster is a very serious natural disaster?
Li Huowang wanted to find out what was going on, but unless he went to Bai Yujing now, no one would know what happened in the outer world.
At this moment, his excellent eyesight saw a small black dot appearing on the yellow horizon in the distance.
As the carriage approached, the small black spot gradually grew larger, eventually showing the outline of a city, and it also gradually grew larger as they approached.
"Is this Bintie City in Qingqiu?" Li Huowang muttered as he looked over there.
He made some preparations before coming. This is the only city in Qingqiu, and it is also the capital of Qingqiu.
In a place like Qingqiu where there is no wood or stone, it is almost impossible to build a town, except for this Iron City, which was built abruptly in an empty place without any material.
The powerful Khan of Qingqiu lives here, and Qingqiu's Supervisory Office is also located here.
Now that Later Shu is fighting against Fa Jiao, I'm afraid it won't work if I rush into Hou Shu and kill Fa Jiao when I see him.
Not only is this ineffective, but it is also easy to scare off the enemy. In the end, except for some common people, not a single backbone of the teachings will die.
Rather than that, it would be better to contact Qingqiu's Supervisor Tiansi first to see if we can get more information from them.
Moreover, the Imperial Master also said before that Si Tianjian from Daliang and Si Tianjian from Siqi should both be here.
Just as Li Huowang was thinking about these things, the special smell of sheep and horse manure gradually entered his nose.
Perhaps because Qingqiu is a suitable place for breeding, there are cow dung and horse dung everywhere around Bintie City. Among the gnawed loose turf, there are piles here and there. Among them are not only livestock, but also many people's.
.
When he saw that the wheel beneath him had rolled over a pile of fresh cow dung, and a lot of soft green and brown material was stuck to the wheel, Bai Lingmiao couldn't help but frowned, "This place is so dirty, it's even as dirty as Anci'an."
”
"Let's deal with it. You can tell at a glance that there are no sewers in this place." Li Huowang said, shaking the reins slightly. The carriage accelerated and rushed towards the city.
After walking among all kinds of cattle, sheep and horses, Li Huowang and the others finally squeezed into the city. Compared with the outside of the city, the inside of the city was not much better.
There are all kinds of buildings inside, including tents, wooden houses, and stone houses, all arranged in a messy manner without any planning.
Moreover, under the constant pressure of human feet, cow dung and sheep dung turned into a dense black dung carpet, just like the stone bricks in Daliang City, covering the entire road.
The street is very crowded, with people sitting next to each other. If you only count people, there aren't many people. But basically anyone in this city who can move has at least one animal next to them, so it seems extremely crowded.
.
As for how unpleasant the smell is, you can completely imagine it when you look at the naked kid next to you squatting on the street to defecate.
"Let's go inward! The inner city circle should be better!"
The carriage team slowly moved in, and everyone's expressions, which were extremely ugly just now, gradually became less ugly as time went by.
It’s not that the environment is better, it’s just that their noses have adapted.
"Dad, what is that?" Li Sui asked, pointing to the white ornately decorated building built against the city wall in the distance.
The building is huge, it can be said to be the largest in the entire Bintie City, but it is obvious that it does not look like a royal building.
From here, Li Huowang could tell that in Qingqiu, the so-called Great Khan was probably not the highest status person, and there were some people with higher status than him.
"That should be a temple, right?" Li Huowang saw the tall spire and guessed that anything in Qingqiu could be called a temple, and he couldn't help but think of the Zhongyin Temple.
Li Huowang glanced around. There were some lamas in the crowd wearing black sheepskins and cock-combed monk hats.
Without exception, these lamas are all old people, and they all seem to be the kind of haggard old people who are at the end of their lives, with dark age spots covering their bodies like psoriasis.
Looking at some of the bone pendants on their bodies, Li Huowang tightened his grip on the reins and shook them slightly to make the speed go faster.
Although the capital of a country is a bit dirty, its vigilance is not lax at all.
Before Li Huowang and others could get close to the imperial city, they were surrounded by light cavalry carrying bows, swords, and mastiffs on their shoulders.
Li Huowang didn't bother to talk nonsense to them, so as to avoid the language barrier, he directly threw his badge of Supervisor Tiansi over. "Is Xuan Ma here? Just say I'm here!"
Li Huowang was not taken to see Xuan Ni, but was taken underground through a tunnel.
Although this Bintie City looks extremely dirty from the outside, who would have thought that there is actually a clean inner city underneath the filth. For some reason, the Supervisors of all places are underground.
The sheep oil lamp hanging on the wall burned slowly and made a crackling sound. Li Huowang looked at the strange woman in front of him and remained silent.
Li Huowang didn't see where the other party came from. He had seen many weird people, but his face was covered with white powder, and various weird patterns were drawn in red on the white powder. This was really the first time he saw them.
.
What's even more special is that this Qingqiu woman is very revealingly dressed. Except for the necessary places that are covered with cloth, the rest of her clothes are exposed, and she also uses various special patterns to draw complex and dense flower patterns.
Behind her, stood a row of people wearing big bamboo hats. Those bamboo hats were so big that they almost covered the person's body, leaving only two legs.
These people stood there silently, adding a touch of eerieness to the dim environment.
"Why are you looking for Daliang Si Tianjian?" The woman asked Li Huowang coldly.
"Let the qualified ones come over. You are not qualified." Li Huowang, who was too lazy to waste time, asked her bluntly.
However, what the other party said was beyond Li Huowang's expectation. "I am Qingqiu Si Tianjian, am I qualified now?"
