Chapter 318: Customs and Customs of the True Monarch Spiritual Appearance
"Distinguished guests, passing through a section of desolate wilderness is the city of Kachar. It belongs to Pasutiya. The emperor occupies the entire plateau and two major river basins, and is the richest here. Pasutiya and Yaksha
The people in the city like to live in the holes in the mounds. I heard that it extends in all directions and is very deep."
All the way to the west, we passed through a wilderness full of shallow grass. Occasionally, a goshawk flew across the sky, emitting a loud cry. Du Ma, riding on his pony, cheerfully made gestures and said to Chen Yuan and others on the parallel ox cart.
Learn about the customs and customs ahead.
"In the early days, no one dared to approach Yasha City. It was rumored that before they were conquered by the first emperor of Pasutia, they had the habit of cannibalism."
"Eating people? How can we make a dish?" As soon as the fat Taoist took a bite, he was slapped on the forehead by Chen Yuan next to him, and then he shut up and looked at the Taoist scripture in his hand again.
"What now?" Chen Yuan turned around and asked.
Duma raised his face with a smile, "Of course not, but I heard from friends in Kachar that some people in Yaksha City are still in the desert, and sometimes they still attack lone caravans, plundering property, and also catching people.
One or two people used it as food. Very few people have left there, and they are afraid that such rumors are true."
Along the way, with Duma as his guide, Chen Yuan had some impression of the country to the west. It was indeed very different from that of later generations, and the people became all kinds of strange. In Hu Shang's story, there was a small country, which was actually almost a tribe.
Through the combination of the two, the people in the tribe can decompose their own bodies, their heads can fly into the sky, and they can fly dozens of miles away, their hands and feet can also detach from their bodies and fly or escape to the ground to go anywhere, and their bodies can also fly away, and then return to the ground.
Regroup in other places, but if there is a strong wind or someone deliberately blocks it, your head, hands and feet will not be able to come back.
To the southwest of here, which seems to be the location of East Africa, there is the country of Babali. The people in the country only eat meat and drink blood instead of water. They often pierce the necks of domestic animals with needles, draw a bowl of blood and drink it all, without wearing a thing on their bodies.
The only clothing covered by the skirt is sheepskin at the waist. However, unlike the men in the country, the women in the country are all handsome and beautiful, with tall and white bodies, like white jade. They are often sold by people from their country to traders in other countries as slaves, or used as merchandise.
For places farther away, the price increases several times.
Different landforms, different races, and interesting myths and stories. The Taoist and the crazy old man listened with gusto. Even the Zhenhai monk stopped chanting and listened carefully.
"Although there are many barbarians in our land of China, they are not like a zoo here."
Chen Yuan listened all the way and felt something in his heart. He analyzed why the east and west sides were so different. But then he thought about it. Zu Yi and Yanren were in charge of the east and west sides. They had their own ideas. Zu Yi was the king of Shang, so he naturally wanted to
What is interesting is that the land of China has mostly similar people and mountains and landforms, which is why the world in the east is there; and because Henren knew little about the land in the west, and because it was originally deserted, she created it based on her imagination, and then created it based on her imagination.
With evolution and migration, many different countries and races were created.”
"The most expensive guest, where are you heading west?"
During the conversation, Duma rested for a while, took a sip of water, and asked Chen Yuan, who was silently looking ahead on the carriage. Chen Yuan smiled and pointed to the northwest.
"The end of the land facing the sea."
"Mediterranean Sea? Then it should be towards the west." Duma replied without thinking. As a businessman, his knowledge is much broader than that of ordinary people. Although he has never been there, he knows something about the situation there.
"If you go anywhere, you may see majestic buildings and square mausoleums standing in the desert, solemn and sacred."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Egyptian Pyramids?
When I heard this description, I never expected that after changing the country and race, these buildings still existed. Perhaps the regional customs, no matter which race lived there, might have nurtured the thinking of the ancient Egyptians in building the pyramids.
.
Thinking this, Chen Yuan shook his head.
"No, it's to the northwest."
Duma frowned, then laughed: "It's pretty good over there, but after this season, it will be very cold. Sometimes I also wonder how people over there survive, whether they wrap themselves in thick
In the clothes, I lie on the bed and cover myself with a quilt every day."
He paused for a moment before asking again in a low voice.
"Really go northwest?"
Chen Yuan laughed, nodded immediately, raised his whip, and urged Lao Niu to speed up. Duma also whipped him quickly, followed closely behind, and turned along this road.
The sun was slightly slanted, shining through the brown soil, and the grass clippings were swaying in the wind. In the setting halo, the old cow with its tail swung its head and rolled through the withered grass, swaying the brass bell on its neck, and gritted the sand in its mouth.
.
"It's strange that after walking for half a day, I still haven't seen the city of Kachar." Duma looked at the unfamiliar wilderness around him, and hesitantly took out the sheepskin map and looked at it. Chen Yuan said with a smile on the bullock cart coming from behind:
"Don't look, Kachar city is already more than seventy miles away."
In fact, Chen Yuan cast the magic of shrinking the ground into an inch, but the chubby Hu Shang didn't know it.
"ah?"
Duma stared blankly at the bullock cart that continued to move forward. The map in his hand fell to the ground without realizing it. He quickly dismounted and picked it up. The moment he raised his head, he suddenly saw several dark figures in his field of vision, wrapped in animal skins.
figure.
He had tall eyes, a sharp nose, a wide mouth and a long chin. He suddenly laughed so ferociously that Duma fell to the ground with an ouch.
"Yaksha!"
The bullock cart driving in front stopped with a sound of "oo". Chen Yuan, Zhenhai, and the fat Taoist got off the car one after another. The crazy old man in the carriage poked his head out and looked around. He saw that Duma didn't even want his mount, and was peeing this way.
Come running.
In the direction behind him, there were several dark figures in the wilderness, holding spears, bows and arrows in their hands. They were a little confused when they saw the clothes of Chen Yuan and others, but they did not launch an attack. One of the older people walked forward for two seconds.
Stepping forward, he opened his mouth and started chattering, as if he was asking Chen Yuan and others.
"Yaksha, they are residents of Yaksha City."
Duma pointed at the people over there and shouted. Seeing Chen Yuan going over, he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her: "Dear guests, don't go over there. They might be cannibals."
Chen Yuan nodded, and the moment he raised his sleeves, a wisp of breeze flew out from his fingertips, and the dark figures over there also made a defensive posture for a moment.
The breeze blew against their faces, making everyone tremble immediately.
Then they could hear a message they understood: "Who are you?"
Those people looked at me in surprise, and I looked at you. The old man who was the leader suppressed the panic in his heart, put the spear on the ground, folded his hands on his chest, and bowed his thin waist.
"Hello, travelers from far away, we residents from Yaksha City, I wonder what you are doing in the territory of Yaksha City?"
Several young-looking Yaksha tribesmen flashed stone spears, bows and arrows.
