Headmaster Shi Er patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you go to Tongluo County and have fun, I will reimburse you."
He must repay the life-saving grace of Feng Mo Mountain slowly.
Walking on the plain, He Lingchuan realized why this place was called "twilight". It turned out to be a beautifying term.
It's already mid-May, and everywhere from the Kite Kingdom to Bejia is there grass growing and warblers flying, and bees and butterflies dancing around. Even Feng Mo Rock, which is subject to strong winds all year round, has a place at the foot of the mountain where flowers bloom.
But the Twilight Plain is really bleak, and the grass and trees are all weak, half yellow and not green. There is obviously water here, but reeds that can grow up to ten feet high elsewhere can only grow up to four or five feet high here. The caravan traveled three miles,
You can count the number of trees you encounter on two hands. It can't even compare to the high-altitude Gale Wind Plains - the Gale Wind Plains are also beautiful flower meadows and meadows in this season.
There is even less farmland on the roadside, and the crops are half dead as if they have been beaten by autumn frost.
He Lingchuan saw no sign of labor, not even a shadow of rhubarb on the field ridges, nor the smoke from the farmhouse.
"What's the matter with this place? No crops grow?"
"This is the place of divine punishment." Master Shi Er took a piece of chewing tobacco and put it into his mouth, "Didn't a war to destroy the country happen here almost two hundred years ago? It was that battle. It is said that the Demon Emperor ordered the massacre of the city.
Not even a single chicken in Qianxing City, the capital of the Yuan Kingdom, survived. Afterwards, it became a place abandoned by the gods. It was impossible to grow crops and raise livestock. Some people also say that it was because too many people died at that time.
This caused the entire plain to become filled with resentment and ruined the feng shui atmosphere."
"What's the matter with Guan Tian? I think this place should be called the Land of God's Punishment. There are so many capable people in Bejia Kingdom, can't you resolve the resentment here?" There are four national masters alone, not counting other powerful ones.
By the way, the prisoners he captured in Zhao Pan's camp were placed on torture dragon pillars, and he claimed to be a national master who wanted to collect the grievances and hatred on the battlefield to transcend. Why didn't he successfully transform this place?
"How do I know? It's just a legend. It happened almost two hundred years ago, who can tell the truth?" Master Shi Er chuckled, "But this kind of situation seems to have happened elsewhere."
"where?"
"The Panlong Desert in Yuan Kingdom. I heard that there used to be a city there, but later it angered the gods and turned it into a desert that is difficult for living people to enter. It's even worse than this place." Master Shi Er suddenly remembered, "Hey, you
Aren’t they from the Yuan Kingdom? Do you know?”
He Lingchuan nodded: "It couldn't be clearer."
But the main reason why the Panlong Wasteland was shrouded in wild sand was very simple. It was the three corpse insects released from the large square pot that were raging. And when He Lingchuan walked on this plain, the sun was bright, but it didn't feel warm when it shone on his body. If he walked on the ground,
You can even feel a chill on the soles of your feet.
This kind of place also has another name, God abandons ghost.
"In the past five or six hundred years, many demon kings rebelled. Will their territories be treated this way later?"
Leader Shi Er chuckled: "How did I know?"
“It’s really strange that Tongluo County is built here.”
"It's not surprising. Twilight Plains is so big, there should be a place for business travelers to rest." Head Shi Er didn't take it seriously. After all, they were just passers-by no matter how often they came. "Besides, these untouchables can't leave Twilight Plains. They
You have to build a place to live."
He Lingchuan frowned slightly.
Head Shi Er has the natural acumen of a businessman. He quickly waved his hand as soon as he saw He Lingchuan's expression: "The title of untouchable is not an insult from me, but an official designation."
"Officially designated?" He Lingchuan asked curiously, "This is a place of exile and distribution?"
There were also untouchables in the place where Mr. He lived. Blackwater City is a border place, and the Yuan Kingdom has always liked to send criminals to the border areas. Because they are criminals, they are not registered locally and are only recorded in a register.
They are the lowest class of people in the local area and can only make a living by selling their labor or body.
"Ah, you can say that." Master Shi Er said, "These unlucky guys are all descendants of the people of the Yuan Kingdom. More than 190 years ago, Qianxing City was massacred, the Yuan Kingdom was destroyed, and the rest became slaves of the subjugated country.
Because King Yuan offended the gods, the Demon Emperor punished their descendants, requiring men to be slaves for generations and women to be prostitutes for generations. They could not stand up and were not allowed to repay their debts. Later, if there were any criminals in Lingxu City who wanted to be punished, they would be exiled here.
."
He Lingchuan sighed: "It's been almost two hundred years, and the crime and punishment haven't been offset yet?"
"The Demon Emperor's longevity, for us, is more than ten generations, but for the elderly, it is only half a lifetime." The previous Demon Emperor has been in power for the longest time, a full 380 years. I don't know what the current one can do.
Can’t break the record? “Perhaps it’s just that the old man has never calmed down?”
"This punishment is too severe. It seems to be to scare the monkeys, so that other people will watch and remember, and they will give up on this idea." The demon emperor allowed the demon kingdoms to fight for their own kings, but he did not allow them to disobey the gods, otherwise they would be killed.
Send a gift package that will make the descendants of the destroyed country slaves forever.
It can be seen that the gods have strong control over this country.
Soon, the caravan entered the gold-selling cave that Master Shi Er mentioned.
Tongluo County is built on the edge of a river bend, so it is easy to get water. The scenery on the shore is mediocre, but the water is very clear, so there are many boats docked on the pier, the highest one has three floors, and when rowed, it looks like a house in the water.
There are inns and restaurants in the county, Quyuan Casino, bathhouses, Hongguanfang, Ecstasy... The entertainment projects found in other places are not the same here, and they need to be bigger and stronger.
Because there are no other industries here at all.
Of course, enjoyment is divided into three levels. Like the main street that He Lingchuan just walked through, the signboards on both sides of the road are as big as the others and more impressive. They are all brightly lit until dawn, and there are people drinking and singing.
The men and women in the store were all laughing hard.
As long as you have money, you can eat the most vigorous fresh food, drink the most mellow wine, and of course you can also find the wandering jieyuhua and talk about your ideals in bed; if there are only two copper plates in your pocket, then
You can only find the secret door outside the small restaurant.
He Lingchuan saw a man standing on the side of the road, bargaining with the secret doorman.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The secret flesh business is usually conducted directly at home. Their husbands are slaves, and they are also responsible for serving tea, wine, and towels to the guests.
Pour phlegm.
As soon as the caravan settled down in the county town, the guys dispersed in a hurry, and even the groom disappeared - He Lingchuan was just about to tell him to feed the blue sheep more bean cakes and old wine.
After Feng Mo Mountain was in danger, Master Shi Er gave them a small amount of money to support their surprise. They were anxious to spend it before they could even get enough of it.
Master Shi Er reminded He Lingchuan: "You can play casually on the main street, and you can also play on the streets in the two rows behind. Don't go any further away, it's dangerous."
"Is there still danger here?"
"These are the properties of the high-ranking officials and gentry in Lingxu City, and they are guarded by special personnel. As long as you go in and spend money, you are guaranteed to be safe." The two of them were on the second floor of the inn, and Shi Erdang pointed out to him condescendingly, "Look at the black paint behind it.
The dark, lightless place is probably the residence of the untouchables, with all kinds of religions and all kinds of shit in there. Two years ago, a guy from my caravan got drunk and walked in, and I haven't been able to find him until now."
He saw He Lingchuan walking back: "Have you decided where to go?"
"No, second boss, you can just go on your own."
"Hey, you are only seventeen or eighteen years old. Why are you so young and full of energy?" Master Shi Er touched his chin and looked him up and down. Later, he remembered that He Lingchuan didn't seem to be looking for him along the way.
than women.
Is there some hidden disease? Oh, what a pity, I don’t have such a handsome face in vain.
He Lingchuan knew by looking at his eyes that he was thinking something wrong: "Family-inherited martial arts, this is forbidden before the age of eighteen."
"Oh, oh." Master Shi Er pretended that he believed it and did not force it. "Whenever you want to leave, you can come down. Also, the Jinquan Yayu opposite is a regular place. You can take a bath or a bath. You can
If you don't nod, no girl will jump on you."
After that, Shi Shiran went downstairs.
He Lingchuan shook his head. Looking at the bright lights of the main street, he didn't want to go to a romantic place, but people are like iron rice and steel, so they have to eat.
He had been in the wasteland for two days, and now he saw the sign of Jinquan Yayu, and his body suddenly felt itchy.
So a quarter of an hour later, he was soaking in the big wooden barrel of Jinquan.
Tongluo County has a one-stop shop for all things food, drink and entertainment, but there is no real hot spring. If guests want to take a bath, they can just soak in hot water. At most, they will sprinkle some medicinal powder for you to make a medicinal soup.
But except for the fake hot springs here, everything else is real. The service is very attentive, you can get haircuts, shaves, manicures, bone loosening, and there are enough wine, tea and tobacco pipes. The chef in the kitchen is also on call 12 hours a day, you can do it at any time
Have a steaming bowl of pork liver porridge, or two or three steamed pan-fried buns.
This place is divided into two areas: elegant bathing and mixed bathing. The elegant bathing is a private single room with tables, chairs, beds and wooden barrels. The mixed bathing is for everyone to enjoy themselves.
Of course, He Lingchuan wanted an elegant bath. But even the sound insulation effect of the private room was mediocre, not to mention that the big wooden barrel was placed by the window. He could see the backroom drama of Hongguanfang opposite.
The room opposite was lit with lights, and if the window was closed, there was an intense shadow puppet show. If the window was left open, it was an action show. There were also women's exaggerated and deformed screams, which floated in through the dense water vapor, making it seem very unreal.
It's not easy to have a full meal, and it's also very hard to act.
After soaking for half an hour, He Lingchuan was also hungry. He changed his clothes and was about to go to the front hall to order something to eat. Suddenly, the door of the private room was smashed open with a bang, and three men rushed in. They asked him fiercely: "People are hiding."
Where is it?"
There was also an owl, purring and flying in, landing on the beam and looking around.
He Lingchuan looked confused: "Who?"
The three people seemed to be out of breath from running. They looked behind the screen, on the roof beams, and under the bed. They even opened the toilet seat to take a look, for fear that someone might be hiding inside.
One of them looked out the window, but was caught by the action scene opposite and couldn't take his eyes away.
He Lingchuan came over to take a look and found that it was indeed very difficult.
The other two people came over and slapped their companion on the head: "Look at P, keep searching!"
