Just as Gao Jingfei and others were approaching the building suspected to be the post station and the three people without shadows, they were suddenly surprised to find that the three figures with their original expressions were coming to the post station gate and were then
After the light of two dim lanterns shone on, they became fresh and vivid in an instant.
The pale skin just now also seemed to have changed from black and white photos to color photos. Although the skin looked dark and yellow, it was the kind of black and yellow with vitality.
The three of them also became like living people, and they even started talking to each other, and then walked into the gate of the station happily.
"What's going on?"
Shang Siyang widened his eyes and spoke everyone's common questions.
Gao Jingfei didn't understand why, but he did not see too high-end power or dangerous existence in the inn. It was just that the pair of lanterns at the inn were a bit magical, and the entire building was also shrouded in a faint spiritual brilliance.
It seems to be a clear difference from the surrounding environment.
So he was not afraid, but chose to remain vigilant but boldly do it, saying to other teammates:
"What the hell is going on? Let's see it with your own eyes?"
Others think so. If they want to understand the world and complete the task of dispelling the fog, they must have some contact with the local existence.
Whether it is a human, a ghost or other monsters.
As for the issue of leaving, everyone is not worried, because this world is not like the last fog incident that happened in the Magic City that Gao Jingfei and the others experienced. The fog disappeared in an instant when it entered the fog, but it still existed by the river, allowing them to
You can return there anytime.
Gao Jingfei himself doesn't understand the difference between this, but he just makes some guesses.
So when the third team members approached the gate of the station and walked into the area covered by the light of the lantern, everyone realized that they seemed to have come to another world. The whole environment was vivid, as if they had returned to reality.
Medium.
Of course this was just their illusion. Gao Jingfei immediately realized the difference between the environment here and the reality. Although the other old team members who entered the ranks of extraordinary people were not as obvious as Gao Jingfei felt, they also discovered some problems.
Just when everyone was surprised, two light coughs came from the door, and then an old man who looked forty or fifty years old walked out of the door.
That's right, it's an old man, because this person has a relatively old face and his life span is shorter than that of modern people. Usually, he can call himself "old man" after he is over forty.
However, in Gao Jingfei's opinion, this person's clothes are much brighter than those three "people" just now.
Although it is gray-black and has no patterns, it is a kind of ancient Chinese dress with wide robe and big sleeves. It also has a headscarf on its head and a pair of black cloth shoes on its feet. This was a rich man in ancient times.
Or a dress that only officials can have.
In addition to dressing up, this old man looked like a demeanor different from ordinary people. This was very familiar to the members of the third team and was a look that could only be seen in their leaders.
This kind of demeanor is what everyone calls "official power"?
This means that this old man should have been an official or had been an official.
Before everyone could speak, the old man smiled and bowed and spoke first.
"I've seen all the heroes!"
They clearly couldn't understand the accent of the old man, but they could understand the meaning. After everyone was surprised, they thought that this was not the real world, so they were not so surprised.
As the captain, Gao Jingkun also stood up and stepped forward and asked:
"I've asked you, my father-in-law, I'm sure I'll ask where this is?"
The old man replied with a smile:
"I am the head of Wujiang Pavilion, and here is the bank of Wujiang."
Then the old man didn't wait for Gao Jingkun to ask again, and immediately said:
"This is a dark world, and all the heroes are born. They must have entered this place by mistake. Please leave quickly!"
As soon as these words were said, although everyone had already guessed before, even though they knew that they had come to the legendary underworld, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Wujiang, pavilion chief?
After everyone was shocked, they noticed the keywords in the old man's words.
Most people should have heard of the term "Tail Chief". Even if you are not familiar with history, you can watch works in TV or novels that involve the Three Kingdoms or the dispute between Chu and Han, and other works, you will mention that Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han, was originally from the Tail Chief.
This is actually a kind of ancient local officials. Pavilions are similar to ancient military buildings such as post stations and posts. During the Warring States Period, in order to defend against the enemy, pavilions were set up on the border and pavilions were set up.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, the imperial court set up a pavilion every ten miles in the countryside, and there were pavilions. He was an administrative chief who was lower than the second level of the county. He was in charge of public security guards, also in charge of staying passengers, governing civil affairs, and most of them were those who had expired in military service.
Supplementary.
In addition, the ones set up in the city or the city wing are called "Du Pavilion", and the ones set up in the city gate are called "Men Pavilion". Both have pavilions, and their duties are the same as those of the country pavilions.
That is, the pavilion chief is similar to the modern security director. Although his status was not high in ancient times, his power was still not small. He not only managed public security, but also civil affairs and also had the responsibilities of post stations in later generations.
The power of the pavilion chief during the Qin and Han dynasties was roughly equivalent to the power of the inspector and the post chief in the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the post chief in a relatively poor manner, the inspector and the chief in charge were both civil and military.
He is a low-ranking official, especially the chief clerk is called the "Three Masters" in a county. Although he is only a ninth rank, he is also the third in a county. He can serve as the second when the magistrate and the county magistrate are not around.
The person presided over the county's political affairs.
The time travelers thought more about this person's identity. They had basically learned or read the historical stories of the Battle of Gaixia, and they had further guesses about the old man.
Gao Jingkun asked again on behalf of everyone:
"Is the headmaster of Wujiang who advised the overlord to return to the east?"
When the old man heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he also replied:
"I am a person who is not talented. I never thought that for many years, I still remember the old events in Gaixia in this world!"
This old man was the Wujiang Pavilion Chief who persuaded the King of Western Chu who had defeated and broke through to return to Jiangdong in order to rise again. Although he was a historical figure who didn't even have a name, he was also the kind of person who was recorded in the Records of the Grand Historian. One day he really appeared in everyone.
In front of you, everyone also has a sense of dreaminess.
Gao Jingkun asked again quickly:
"Then the river outside is the Wujiang River where the overlord committed suicide?"
The old man bowed to the east and said:
"Yes, all the heroes have arrived here. Don't you know that this radius of hundreds of miles is under the jurisdiction of Wujiang River Prefecture?"
The Wujiang Pavilion Chief was very respectful in his words. It was obvious that the owner of the Wujiang Water Mansion was either his immediate superior or a person he respected very much.
Gao Jingfei suddenly had a guess and stood up and learned from the old man and asked:
"You dare to ask my father-in-law, is the Lord of Wujiang Water Palace the prestigious King of Chu who was once famous?"
The old man looked at Gao Jingfei in surprise, as if he had seen some big man. He put on his clothes and bowed to Gao Jingfei and replied:
"What the feather said is that my lord, the overlord fell into the underworld from the battle of Gaixia, and wandered in the underworld Wujiang. The lord of Taishan Palace could not do anything, so he gave me a golden seal and let my lord open the mansion to crack the soil, and the underworld
I became king, and I died more than three years later. Fortunately, the king was invited to join me. I set up Wujiang Pavilion on the banks of the river to guide the scattered and deceased..."
