In the early morning, the mountains are shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and the air is filled with a moist atmosphere and the fragrance of the forest. The sun shines through the treetops and shines on the mountains and forests, reflecting a hazy light and shadow.
In this light and shadow, you can vaguely see the peaks and cliffs in the distance, as well as the nearby grasslands and streams.
The ghosts and ghosts wandering in the mountains and forests are looming in the early morning sunshine, adding a bit of mystery and terror to this eerie mountain. From time to time, some weird birds fly in the mountains and forests, making shrill calls, which makes it even more disturbing.
People feel palpitations.
At the bottom of the mountain, a group of people looked at the terrifying mountain of people eating people, but no one dared to step forward.
A few days ago, everyone suddenly received an order from the General Protector of the Country, saying that the monsters on this mountain had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and from then on they became part of the imperial court.
And this huge Lanruo Mountain Range will officially become the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, from now on, people at the bottom of the mountain will have to go up the mountain to be responsible for pruning the branches of the tree demons, catching insects and fertilizing them.
Of course, in return, people can also pick fruits and firewood from the mountains, and some areas are divided into fields and pastures.
Of course everyone didn't believe it when they heard this.
These dog officials most likely tricked them into going to the mountains and giving away their heads.
Then the order came directly, and hundreds of people came voluntarily as the first batch of collaborators. Early this morning, after the soldiers escorted these people, they stood aside and waited for them to enter the mountain and die.
Damn it, dog officer!
Now the question comes, who is the first to enter the mountain? Who dares to enter the mountain? Who is not afraid of death?
A group of people looked at each other and hesitated. None of them, who were living well, wanted to die. They wanted to farm. They all had fields at home, and they couldn't finish planting. If they went to plant in the mountains, even if they didn't feed the monsters, they wouldn't be able to go there.
Feed the beast?
"Wow~"
Suddenly, a man came down from the mountain. He was short and fat, his clothes were ragged, and his pants were still wet.
One of the people in the group was surprised and happy, and quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Master Su, Master Su is back!"
It turns out that he is the master of Guobei County, and he handles the affairs of the entire Guobei County on a daily basis. As a result, Mr. Su went to greet a nobleman and never returned, and was subsequently captured.
Others were also extremely surprised. In their mouths, this Master Su was the real Su Qingtian of Guobei County. Last year, they even worked together to make this Master a Ten Thousand People Umbrella forged in blood.
As for the letters written in blood, of course they were written by the tenants of the family. Each time they wrote, they were given a ladle of food, and the letters were filled in just one day.
When Su Ming saw these people, his mood immediately calmed down.
Everyone is an acquaintance and knows everything about him. At least he is in good health and can definitely run faster than these pampered people.
Safety!
"Sir, why have you been here for so long, and why are your pants wet?" the master asked curiously and concerned.
Su Ming was startled, silent for a while, and sighed deeply: "I heard that there are monsters in the mountains, so I wanted to find a way for the people. Serving as an official and benefiting the country is the lifelong purpose and dream of scholars of our generation.
As for why my pants are wet, of course it’s because there’s a lot of humidity in the mountains.”
The master gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Su is so upright and upright, my subordinates admire him! But you have to make the decision for us. General Zuo obviously said that he volunteered, but he sent people to drive all of us, the pillars of Guobei County, to die.
If we all die, what will happen to the people in the county? That's all because of General Zuo!
His heart can be killed!"
Mr. Su was thoughtful, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition after just escaping from death.
"Boom~"
General Zuo came galloping on horseback, with the little yellow cat on his shoulder jumping happily on top of each war horse. Sometimes when the jump went wrong, the war horse would actively tilt its head to catch it.
"Qiang~"
Pointing his sword at him, his momentum was overwhelming.
"Su Ming, you have committed a crime. You have taken bribes and perverted the law. You have oppressed good people. You have privately made weapons, crossbows and armors, and you have privately set up a torture chamber. This crime cannot be punished!
But God is kind and will give you a chance to reform, serve in the mountains, and undergo labor reform for twenty years!"
Su Ming was dumbfounded and looked back at the man-eating mountains.
He just came out, why is the connection so on time? Can you please slow down!
…
Twenty years later.
Ning Caichen retired to his hometown alone, took a carriage, and once again entered the land of Guobei County.
In the first ten years, under the leadership of Prince Zuo, the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, he conquered foreign races, small countries, and all kinds of monsters and monsters on the earth. He negotiated peace with those who could and could not, so that he could change his mind and start a new life.
After that, the new world planning began, and all the city walls were demolished. With the help of many alien monsters, humans multiplied more and more, and even humans could be traced all over the world.
Of course, there are more and more foreign races now. This brings about a big question, should people marry those of different races?
According to common sense, it definitely won’t work!
But those aliens really have too many advantages compared to humans. The first is appearance, such as the beast-eared girl loved by the guardian beast, such as Furui. There are even some weirdos who can become whatever they want, and marry one.
It's like marrying the most beautiful woman in the world.
If you think about it this way, it’s a huge profit!
There are also some foreign races, such as the children of the thousand-year-old locust tree in Guobei County. They have a gentle temperament and can be beaten or scolded. They can eat soil, drink water, and bask in the sun. If you marry one and bring it home, you can raise it at zero cost.
The key is that they can still work, and they can work all day long without getting tired. They can even work and serve people at the same time, and because of the many branches, they can do any service regardless of their posture.
Very comfortable!
Others don't know, but as life gets better and better, many women who study and practice strongly oppose it, and even go to the palace to ask the emperor to legislate to prohibit interracial marriage. Then, Prince Zuo sent people to directly capture them, one man and thirty troops.
He was beaten half to death with a stick.
As we all know, Prince Zuo likes the cat-eared girl!
"Boom~"
A huge tree branch, with dozens of people sitting on it, quickly passed by the official road and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This is the bus service recently launched by Grandma Dryad. It has a fixed time every day, a fixed location, and mobile roots. There are many seats built on the wide roots, and they are also tied with safety ropes to facilitate passers-by to quickly travel around Guobei County.
move.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When this service was launched, it immediately attracted many people from the county to visit. I even heard that some counties and cities are negotiating with nearby dryads to see if they can also provide this service.
.
As for why the tree demon grandma is so old, why she still goes through so much trouble? Of course it is because she is so fertile. Not long after she joined the Salvation Society, she got married to the thunder hand.
The Thunder Runner didn't know what kind of adventure he had. His physical cultivation was rapidly improving, and he suddenly became one of the few people who married different people and survived for a long time. Then he kept giving birth to dozens of children a year.
Although it is true that locust trees do not need much living space, the land alone is a large rental expense. In the Ming Dynasty, all the land in the world was the royal land, and all the land was only rented and not sold. In this way, for the tree demon,
For a grandma, not only herself but also raising children is a huge expense.
In the end, I had no choice but to go out and do things to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Now there is a banner hanging at the entrance of Lanruo Mountain: Have fewer children and plant more trees, raise fewer children and raise more pigs!
Shaking his head, Ning Caichen stroked his beard and sighed at the magic of life's encounters.
That year, he encountered many monsters and monsters, and even the emperor and officials in the dynasty were eaten by monsters. He thought that the Ming Dynasty and even the world would be over. But he did not expect that in just over twenty years, the world would end.
Completely changed beyond his comprehension.
A weird combination of humans and demons? Outrageous!
And now he has even heard that in addition to ordinary tourism, farmhouses, and trick houses in Lanruo Mountain, there are also some special services. As for what the special features are, everyone knows about them, and it is hard to say what they don't.
After all, female spies need some energy to survive in the world, and there are many men who are energetic but have bad personalities and have no partners. There may be problems if they have nowhere to release them.
Therefore, the officials turn a blind eye to these problems. To sum up, they do not admit, approve or accept them, and they do not pay attention to them unless they report them.
In this regard, as the Minister of Justice, he knows a lot.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt like he wanted to experience it in the mountains.
Back then, he was a weak scholar who didn't know anything, but he was chased by the tree demon grandma and turned into a lost dog. If it weren't for Yan Chixia, he might have been reincarnated now.
According to the provisions of the alliance law, if monsters such as Dryad Granny and great cultivators have done no great evil, such as massacring a city, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, they can do something to make amends for their sins.
For example: compensate the family, take care of the ghost of the victim, provide work, survival, and reincarnation. If the person has been reincarnated, he must also ensure that he grows up smoothly into adulthood.
Of course, there are also many people who have already lost their souls. According to the alliance regulations, it is a crime of serious murder of the alliance. The crime is very serious, ranging from being knocked down for a hundred years of cultivation to being required to serve in the underworld for a thousand years.
He didn't know exactly what he was going to do to serve in the underworld. He only knew that among the few practitioners he knew, except for Yan Chixia, everyone else's expressions changed when they talked about it.
Fortunately, this tree demon grandma is just a locust tree. She usually absorbs people's energy and nourishes her spies.
As one of the victims that year, he later received a letter of apology from the Lanruoshan service area. Grandma Dryad personally expressed her condolences and said that she was young and ignorant. As compensation for the shock, Ning Caichen could come and play for three years.
, no need to pay.
Haha, who is he? The son-in-law of a cabinet bachelor and a dignified Minister of Justice. Will he be frightened? Just kidding!
At that time, he threw the letter into his arms in front of his wife, preparing to throw it away when he found an opportunity. This is the integrity of a scholar: sitting in peace and calm, the wind and the moon shine brightly.
Thinking of this, Ning Caichen couldn't help but admire himself. For more than twenty years, he has always kept his true intentions, not greedy or possessive, adhered to integrity, and been a true gentleman. This is really not an easy task.
The foot of the mountain, the checkpoint.
There was a locust tree standing on both sides of the checkpoint, and its branches blocked the entrance and exit. When he saw Ning Caichen approaching, he bent down respectfully and said politely: "Dear guest, hello, are you here to visit the special service area of Lanruo Temple?
?Please show your tour ticket.
Friendly reminder: Relevant inspections will be carried out when clearing customs. It is prohibited to carry video recording instruments, virgin menstrual belts, glutinous rice dumplings, donkey hooves, black dog blood and other prohibited items in this service area. Beating and abuse of staff are prohibited."
Ning Caichen nodded and took out a letter from his arms: "Here, this is the letter your ancestor Lan Ruoshan wrote to me. It says that I can play for free for three years. Does it still count?"
The guard distinguished the mark of the locust tree and the scent on the envelope, and nodded quickly: "Of course it counts, distinguished guest, please!"
Ning Caichen nodded reservedly, put his hands behind his hands and slowly walked into this place where most people in Guobei County would never have a chance, or would not dare to come if they had no money.
At the exit, there are many people coming and going, busy repairing various places, including dams, branches, paths, flowers and plants, notice boards, etc.
Some of them are migrant workers from Guobei County, some are family members of Lanruoshan, and most of them are service personnel.
People's desires are endless. If they have enough food, clothing, and a place to live, they want more, bigger houses, better food, and beautiful women. If they can't get it through ordinary means, many people will take desperate risks.
But many people actually don't know that the underworld is now under the control of the Ming Dynasty, and is directly connected to the human world. In fact, there are many ghost cultivators who are greedy for the human world and become royal guards. After night, there are many ghost cultivators patrolling and monitoring.
God knows what you did!
Many people don't even know how they were discovered.
Alas, if you do too much injustice, you will surely die!
"Master, ahead is the monster service area. What service do you want?" A short young minotaur came to the door of a three-story building with a red light sign and greeted him respectfully.
Ning Caichen looked around and coughed: "Ahem, I heard that you have... some kind of more serious and formal services here, you know!"
The Minotaur suddenly realized and stretched out his hand: "Dear guest, please!"
Then he shouted to the inside: "There is a guest on the third floor!"
Ning Caichen nodded reservedly, entered the door, and under the arrangement of the Minotaur, put on his shoes, took a bath and massage, and was finally sent to a small courtyard, which was decorated to look like a classroom in the imperial compulsory education today.
Just after walking in and sitting for a while, Ning Caichen was still in awe despite his age.
Don't tell me, he never dared to think about this scene before.
After a while, a girl with rabbit ears came in. She was wearing a long robe, dressed like a teacher, and had a pointer in her hand.
Ning Caichen was startled and quickly sat upright.
"Okay, let's start class. Today we will have an advanced mathematics teaching. Students must listen carefully, otherwise I will punish you! Bang!" The teacher said sternly with a cold face, waving his long whip.
After a while, Ning Caichen sat on the chair, and the rabbit-eared girl was kneeling at his feet, her eyes watery.
"Classmate, step on me!"
After a moment of silence, the scholar said honestly: "I'm sorry, this is a new imperial court and there are no slaves anymore. You don't have to wrong yourself so much."
Sister Rabbit Ears' eyes lit up and she understood. You scholars are still good at playing. I didn't expect that I could get into the drama so deeply in just a short time, and I also wanted to play some more advanced special situation dialogue actions.
"Classmate, I need you to stand higher and save more confused me!"
