"More than one hundred and eighty children!?" Li Danqing almost spat out a mouthful of blood at this moment.
Even though this Crown Prince is such an ambitious person, the goal he has set for himself is only a hundred children. However, the skeleton in front of him, who does not know whether it is a human or a ghost, tells Crown Prince Li that he has more than 180 children.
child!
Li Shizi obviously couldn't accept this fact. He even forgot about the penetrating appearance of the guy in front of him. His eyes were looking at the other person's lower body intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was assessing whether the thing that did things existed under this skinny figure.
, even if it exists, does it have such ability?
"Why are your names so weird? It sounds like..." Fortunately, Luo An'an, who was on the side, did not have such a nasty temper as Prince Li. She frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Sigh... The days are getting more and more sad. Master Cheng is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and the children can't bear it. Sometimes, they were still in front of me yesterday, but when I wake up the next day, there is no one in the bed. At first, I still can't stand it.
I remember them. It has been so long that even I have forgotten their names. I don’t know if the sacrifice this time will go smoothly. It would be great if I could ask for some nectar, otherwise I might not be able to survive these few days.
"The guy who called himself Fangzhou County Magistrate said this and looked at his daughter. The green will-o'-the-wisps danced in his deep-set eyes. Even though the face was as skinny as a skeleton, Li Danqing still smelled sadness in it.
breath……
He felt more and more that there was something strange hidden here...
Just as Luo Anan speculated, everything in front of him was definitely not an illusion.
And similarly, these skeleton-like guys are not ghosts, at least they are very different from the ghosts Li Danqing imagined.
And although they are ugly and scary, both the vendors on the street and the drinkers discussing scriptures in the wine shop are no different from ordinary people. If there is any difference, it is the topics these people talk about. It seems
More advanced...
Along the way, whether it is pedestrians on the road or drinkers in the inn at this moment, there are few people discussing business affairs like ordinary people, such as chess, articles, piano music, or family and state affairs.
, and they are all very clear-headed. Compared with those arty kings, grandsons and nobles in Wuyang City, they at least have more real talent and learning.
No matter how smart Li Danqing was, he was really confused when faced with this scene he had never seen before. He thought for a while, since he couldn't figure it out, and the guy named Fangzhou Junzhi in front of him was surprisingly ungrateful, so he might as well sit down.
Have a good chat with him and see if you can get anything out of him.
With this thought in mind, Crown Prince Li simply sat down on a wooden bench nearby. During this process, Crown Prince Li kept smiling and pretending to reach out to flirt with him in order to slightly alleviate the bad feeling that his previous reckless behavior might have caused to the other party.
Lift up the hem of your gown, hoping to make such an action look chic and handsome enough.
But Li Danqing forgot that everything in this city was in tatters, including the bench he was about to sit on.
One leg of the bench was obviously shorter than the other three legs, and it could still be placed safely on weekdays. But as soon as Li Shizi sat down, the bench suddenly tilted, and Li Danqing, who was caught off guard, also slipped off the wooden table.
, fell down on all fours, very embarrassed.
Xing Shuangshuang and Luo Anan on the side couldn't help but pursed their lips and chuckled when they saw Li Danqing's deliberately staged appearance. Fortunately, Li Danqing had always been thick-skinned. He just coughed and stood up pretending to be nothing.
The three-legged stool was straightened, and then I carefully found a balance point and tried it several times before sitting down as if I was sitting on pins and needles.
"Brother Fang... uh, brother Fangzhou, I just said this is Chaoge City. May I ask which Chaoge City it is?" Li Danqing looked at Fangzhou County Chronicle and asked.
Although the Fangzhou County magistrate with the weird name has an attractive appearance, he has a warm-hearted temperament. He did not have any doubts about Li Danqing's inquiry and immediately responded: "Chaoge City is naturally Chaoge City... This
In the world of Dashang, is there a second Chaoge City?"
Although Li Danqing and the others had some expectations about the identities of these living dead at first, when they heard these words, their hearts still jumped. The three of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, and they all looked at each other's faces.
There was a glimpse of the same look in their eyes, and it was obvious that the things they were thinking about at the moment were probably similar.
Could these guys be the dead souls of the previous dynasty? They were trapped here because of their obsessions or other reasons. They thought they were alive and that the previous dynasty had not yet been destroyed.
Li Danqing clearly remembers that when he was a child, he heard similar ghost stories from an old eunuch, saying that dead people sometimes don’t know they are dead, and living people had better not point them out, otherwise they will get into trouble.
Upper body...
Gulu.
Li Danqing swallowed his saliva and muttered secretly in his heart: Damn it, there really are ghosts in this world! Then why didn't my old man tell me to give me a dream or something? Could it be that he met some beautiful female ghost in the underworld?
Are you so obsessed that you forget about my son? But my mother shouldn’t let him do this? Or is it because the old couple has been separated for a long time and they don’t want to talk to me anymore?
Li Shizi's thoughts jumped, but he quickly realized that it was inappropriate. He quickly shook his head, squeezed out a slightly stiff smile on his face, and continued: "Yes, yes, I was confused.
.By the way, what did Brother Fangzhou say about the Taoist? What is that? What is nectar? I see there are people selling food on the street, why do you say there is no nectar..."
As he spoke, Li Danqing paused and looked at the little skeleton in his arms. He hesitated for a moment and didn't know whether to call it a girl or a boy. But when he thought of the man calling him daughter, Li Danqing reacted and then said: "
What will happen to the little girl? Is there any hidden disease? Could it be that the nectar is some kind of magic elixir? "
Li Danqing's question attracted a strange look from the Fangzhou County Magistrate, who whispered: "I think my little brother just came here. I guess he lived quite well in the past. These foods can only extend his life.
But we can’t keep our energy. We people, if we lose our energy, won’t it just disappear into thin air..."
"Angry?" Li Danqing was confused when he heard that a living dead man dressed as a waiter came forward and handed Li Danqing a dirty-looking black wine glass.
Li Danqing motioned to the other party to put this thing on the table, but he didn't care and continued to ask: "What about the Taoist?"
Hearing this, the county magistrate of Fangzhou looked at Li Danqing more and more strangely. Feeling this, Li Danqing felt a chill in his heart and secretly thought that he had missed some loophole, but at this moment he heard the other party say: "Little brother, the days before
You are living so comfortably that you don’t even know what Taoist Cheng Cheng is?”
Li Danqing didn't dare to deny it, so he could only respond with a smile.
The Fangzhou County magistrate was surprisingly smart. He didn't even have the slightest doubt about Li Danqing, who was behaving so strangely. He also said: "Master Chengdao is the successor of Fengming Mountain. My little brother won't even do this."
You don’t know either?”
At this moment, the will-o'-the-wisps in the eyes of the skeleton head of Fangzhou County were beating. Although it was difficult to see any changes in expression on such a face, Li Danqing still smelled it - Brother, you can't even do this.
You know the taste.
Li Danqing smiled and said quickly: "Of course I know!"
It's not that Li Shizi meant to make a fool of himself by saying this. In fact, Li Danqing did know about Fengming Mountain.
After all, it is one of the twenty-eight sacred mountains in Wuyang. Although Li Danqing is a dandy, it is impossible not to know this common sense that everyone in the market knows.
However, since the founding of the Wuyang Dynasty, there are still seven sacred mountains hanging in the sky without a definite owner. Fengming Mountain is one of them. As for why these seven sacred mountains have been established for a hundred years since the founding of the dynasty, they are still not sure.
Master, there are always different opinions about this in the Wuyang Dynasty. Some people say that the court has not found a suitable candidate, while others say that the Ji family intends to cultivate confidants and leave them to trustworthy people. There are even more mysterious theories.
It is said that these seven holy mountains actually have owners, but their owners are evil sinners from the previous dynasty and are hiding now. The Wuyang court cannot arrest them and bring them to justice, so naturally there is no way to enfeoff these seven holy mountains.
Go down.
In the past, Li Danqing had always sneered at the last statement. After all, as the most popular prince in the Wuyang Dynasty, Li Danqing understood the power of the Three Prefectures and Nine Divisions better than anyone else. Let alone the Lord of the Holy Mountain, as long as he
If Sanfu Jiusi really wants to find out, even if he is an ant, as long as he is really unique, he can find it for you.
But after hearing the words of Fangzhou County Magistrate, Li Danqing's heart froze, but he couldn't help but think of the last rumor.
Could it be that the owner of Fengming Mountain is hiding here, holding these dead souls hostage, and intending to do earth-shattering evil deeds?
This thought also made Li Danqing feel ridiculous. The extent of his imagination was probably comparable to that of Xiao Yan's famous works.
However, although this matter was a bit ridiculous, Li Danqing also noticed that all the weirdness seemed to be related to the Taoist mentioned by Fangzhou County Chronicle. Maybe finding him could solve the problem between himself and Luo An'an.
Confused as to why it is here.
Thinking like this, Li Danqing looked at the other party and asked, "Where is the Taoist Master now?"
After hearing this, the Fangzhou County Chronicle suddenly sighed: "Brother,
I don’t know what happened. Since a hundred years ago, I don’t know what happened, the number of Taoist successors in Fengming Mountain has suddenly dropped sharply, and now there is only one left. We are looking forward to that Taoist successor day and night.
Give us some nectar to make a living, but the time that the Taoist inheritor comes here is getting less and less, and the nectar he can bring every time is getting less and less. Many people just can't wait for the nectar, and the inheritance is cut off.
Nowadays, in our Chaoge City, there are fewer and fewer people alive. If this continues, it won’t be long before there won’t be a single living person found in the entire Chaoge City.”
It seems like you were not alive originally, right?
Li Danqing cursed secretly in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
He thought for a moment and was about to ask something more, but Fangzhou County Magistrate seemed to be troubled by Li Danqing's words. At this time, he picked up the wine glass beside him, poured himself a glass, and filled it up for Li Danqing.
Bei Zhan said: "Let's not mention these troublesome things. I hope that today the Taoist can come as promised. Come, you and I can have a drink and get drunk and relieve all our worries!"
After saying that, the other party made a gesture of invitation towards Li Danqing, and then he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
When Li Danqing saw this, he didn't want to dampen the other party's interest. After all, he was still hoping to get more information out of him. With this in mind, he also picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink it, but that thing had just been delivered to him.
Near his mouth, he felt something was wrong. He lowered his head and saw that the thing in the cup was not some sake, but a ball of black juice. Li Danqing was stunned, and subconsciously put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed, but what he smelled was a
The scent of ink.
"This...is ink?"
Li Danqing said secretly in his heart, but he couldn't drink this unknown thing in his stomach, so he could only put it aside in silence.
"Why don't you like this little brother? This can be regarded as the best food in our Chaoge City now." Fangzhou County Magistrate noticed Li Danqing's strange behavior and asked a little strangely.
Li Danqing smiled and said: "I have never tasted this... this thing, and I really can't eat it..."
"Huh? How come my little brother has never eaten this thing?" Fangzhou County Magistrate said loudly in surprise.
His volume was raised a bit at this moment, which instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding drinkers.
Li Danqing had something on his mind. Being stared at by so many green eyes for a while, he felt his scalp numb and lowered his head subconsciously.
At this moment, Fangzhou County Magistrate seemed to have thought of something, and the will-o'-the-wisp in his eyes suddenly brightened a bit. He slapped the table, stood up, pointed at Li Danqing and said: "Isn't this little brother such an ancient existence?
How can we not eat this thing if it is cut with a knife and carved with an axe?"
As he said these words, the green eyes around him all showed a hint of surprise.
Li Danqing wondered what could be carved out by a knife and an axe? Is it your tombstone?
But seeing that everyone seemed to accept such speculation, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Haha, it is indeed true. I didn't expect you to see this."
As soon as these words came out, everyone around him immediately expressed his admiration and gathered around him, looking at Li Danqing with eyes full of reverence.
But at this time, the Fangzhou County Magistrate suddenly frowned and muttered: "That's wrong..."
"If little brother really exists like that, he should be at least six thousand years old now, right? He is still so healthy at six thousand years old, especially how did little brother get here in these hundred years?"
What the hell is six thousand years old!
Young Master, I am still a few months away from turning twenty. You ask me how I have spent these hundred years! How do I know?
Li Danqing roared in his heart, but on the surface he could only cater to it: "Just...just wake up and sleep casually, eat, drink, have fun, etc., just...just get over it..."
"Can you still travel to the outer world?" As soon as these words came out from the Fangzhou County Chronicle, there was another exclamation, and the eyes of everyone around him became even more intense.
"Is it possible...Is it possible that the little brother is also his successor! And this lineage is living very well, otherwise how could he look like this?"
Fangzhou County Magistrate said this and looked at Xing Shuangshuang and Luo An'an behind Li Danqing. His eyes only stayed on Xing Shuangshuang for a moment and then fell on Luo An'an.
At that moment, Fangzhou Junzhi's body trembled suddenly, and his teeth chattered at the corners of his cracked mouth. He pointed at Luo Anan and spoke loudly.
