After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 416 Land of Scourge
Master Shi Er patted him on the shoulder, "If you come to Tongluo County to play casually, I will reimburse you."

He had to repay the life-saving grace on Fengmo Mountain slowly.

Walking on the plain, He Lingchuan finally understood why this place is called "twilight", which turned out to be a beautifying term.

Already in the middle of May, from Yuanguo to Beijia, where is the grass growing and warblers flying, bees dancing and butterflies flying around?Even Fengmoyan, which is windy all the year round, has a place at the foot of the mountain reserved for blooming flowers.

But the Twilight Plain is really dull, and the vegetation grows weak, half yellow and not green.There is obviously water here, but the reeds that can grow to a height of one foot elsewhere are at most four or five feet high here.The caravan traveled three miles, and the trees they encountered could be counted with two hands.It can't even compare to the high-altitude Blast Plain - Blast Plain is also a beautiful flower meadow and meadow in this season.

The farmland beside the road is even more pitiful, and the crops seem to be beaten by autumn frost, and they are also half dead.

He Lingchuan didn't see the figure of labor, nor the rhubarb on the ridge of the field, nor the smoke from the farmhouse.

"What's the matter with this place, no crops?"

"This is the land condemned by God." Master Shi Er took a piece of chewing tobacco and put it in his mouth, "Didn't the war of destroying the country take place here almost 200 years ago? It was fought in that battle. It is said that the demon emperor issued an order to massacre the city." , Qianxing City, the capital of Yuan Kingdom, did not survive even a single chicken. Afterwards, it became a place abandoned by the gods, where no crops could be grown and livestock could not be raised; The entire plain is full of resentment, which has ruined the geomantic omen."

"What's the matter with God, I think this place should be called the Land of God's Scourge. There are so many capable people in the Beja Kingdom, can't they solve the grievances here?" There are four national teachers alone, not counting other powerful people.

By the way, the prisoner he captured in the Zhao Pan camp had torture dragon pillars on his body, claiming that the national teacher wanted to collect the resentment and hatred on the battlefield to cross over, why didn't he succeed in crossing here?

"How would I know? It's just a legend. It's almost 200 years ago, so who's going to tell the truth?" Master Shi Er laughed dryly, "But this kind of situation seems to have happened elsewhere."

"where?"

"The Panlong Desert in the Yuan Kingdom. I heard that there used to be a city and people there, but later offended the gods and turned it into a desert that is hard for living people to enter. It is worse than here." Shi Erdao suddenly remembered, "Hey, you They are from Yuan Country. Do you know that?"

He Lingchuan nodded: "It couldn't be more clear."

But the main reason why the Panlong Wasteland was covered by wild sand is very simple, that is, the three corpses released by the Dafang pot are raging; and He Lingchuan is walking on this plain, the sun is shining brightly, but it does not give warmth to the body. If you walk on the ground, You can even feel a chill on the soles of your feet.

There is another name for this kind of place, God abandons ghosts.

"In the past five or six hundred years, many demon kings have rebelled. Is this how their territories were treated in the future?"

Master Shi Er laughed: "How would I know?"

"It's really strange that Tongluo County was built here."

"It's not surprising, the Twilight Plain is so big, there should be a place for business travelers to rest." Shi Erdao didn't care, after all, they were just passing by no matter how often they came, "Besides, these untouchables can't leave the Twilight Plain, they Gotta build a place to live."

He Lingchuan frowned slightly.

Shier's family has the natural acumen of a businessman, and when he saw He Lingchuan's expression, he quickly waved his hands: "I didn't call these untouchables insulting them, but the official designation."

"Official designation?" He Lingchuan wondered, "Is this the place of exile?"

There are also untouchables in the place where Young Master He lived.Heishui City is a frontier place, and the exiled criminals from the Yuan Kingdom have always liked to send them to the frontier.Because they are criminals, they do not have household registration in the local area, but are only recorded in a register. They are the most inferior people in the local area and can only sell their labor or body for a living.

"Ah, you can also say that." Master Shi Er said, "These unlucky bastards are all descendants of Yuan people. More than 190 years ago, Qianxing City was slaughtered, Yuan country was destroyed, and the rest became slaves of the subjugated country. If you offend the gods, the demon emperor will punish their descendants, requiring men to be slaves for generations and women to be prostitutes for generations.

He Lingchuan snapped his tongue: "It's been almost 200 years, and the punishment hasn't been cancelled?"

"The longevity of the demon emperor is for us more than a dozen generations, but for the old man, it is only half a lifetime." The last demon emperor has been in power for a full 380 years. I don't know if the current one can break the record. ? "Maybe the old man has not calmed down?"

"This punishment is too heavy. It seems to be an example to others, so that other people will watch and remember it. They will die." The demon emperor let the demon kingdoms fight for the king on their own, but forbade them to disobey the gods, otherwise they would be killed at will. Send out a big gift package of destroying the country + descendants will be slaves forever.

It can be seen that the gods have a strong control over this country.

Soon, the caravan entered what Master Shi Erdang called the gold-selling cave.

Tongluo County is built on the edge of a river bend, so it is convenient to get water.The scenery on the shore is mediocre, but the water is very clear, so there are many painting boats docked on the pier, the highest one has three floors, and it moves like a house in the water.

There are inns and restaurants in the county, Quyuan Casino, Bathhouse, Red Pavilion Square, Ecstasy Array... the entertainment projects in other places are the same here, and they need to be bigger and stronger.

Because there is no other industry here at all.

Of course, enjoyment is divided into grades.Like the main street that He Lingchuan just walked through, the signboards on both sides of the road are bigger and bigger, and each is more magnificent.

The men and women in the store were all laughing hard.

As long as you have money, you can eat the freshest fresh food, drink the most mellow wine, and of course you can find the wandering Xieyuhua, and talk about your ideals under the covers; It is only worthy of looking for secret doors outside small restaurants.

He Lingchuan saw a man standing by the side of the road, bargaining with the secret door.

The skin and meat business of the secret door is usually done directly at home. Their husbands are lowly slaves, and they are also responsible for serving tea, wine, and towels to guests.

As soon as the caravan settled down in the county town, the guys dispersed in a rush, and even the grooms disappeared—He Lingchuan just wanted to tell him to feed more bean cakes and old wine to the rock sheep.

After Fengmo Mountain was in danger, Shi Erdang's family gave them a little surprise fee.Before it was hot, they were in a hurry to spend it.

Master Shi Er reminded He Lingchuan: "You can play casually on the main street, and you can also play on the two rows of streets behind. Don't go any further, it's dangerous."

"Is there any danger here?"

"These are the properties of the dignitaries 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 were on the second floor of the inn, and Shi Erdang pointed at him condescendingly, "Look at the black paint behind The place with no lights in Mahei is probably the residence of the untouchables, and there are all kinds of religions and all kinds of things in it. Two years ago, a guy in my caravan walked in drunk, and I haven’t found him until now.”

He watched He Lingchuan walking back: "Have you decided where to go?"

"No, you can go to the second master by yourself."

"Hey, you're only seventeen or eighteen years old. Why don't you like this at your young age?" Master Shi Er touched his chin, looked him up and down, and then realized that He Lingchuan didn't seem to find him all the way. over women.

Could it be that there is some hidden disease?Oh, what a pity, Bai Chang has such a handsome face.

He Lingchuan could tell by looking at his eyes that he was thinking wrongly: "Family-inherited exercises, this was banned before."

"Oh." Master Shi Er believed it himself, and didn't force it, "You can come down whenever you want. Also, the Jinquan Yayu opposite is a regular place, and you can take a bath or soak in hot springs. If you don't nod, no girl will jump on you."

After all, Shi Shiran went downstairs.

He Lingchuan shook his head.Looking at the feasting and feasting on the main street, he didn't want to go to the romantic place, but people are like iron and steel, so he can't stop eating.

He ate the wind and dust in the wasteland for two days, and now he saw the signboard of Jinquan Yayu, and his body suddenly started to itch.

So after a quarter of an hour, he soaked in the big wooden barrel of Jinquan.

Tongluo County has everything you need to eat, drink and play here, but there are no real hot springs.Guests want to soak in hot water, at most, sprinkle some medicinal powder in it to make a cameo soup.

But here except the hot springs are fake, everything else is real.The service is very considerate, you can get a haircut, shave, manicure, bone loosening, enough wine, tea and cigarettes, and the chef in the back kitchen is also on call for twelve hours. You can have a bowl of steaming raw pork liver porridge at any time, or two Three cages of fried buns.

This place is divided into two places, the elegant bath and the mixed bath. The elegant bath is a private single room with tables, chairs, beds, and wooden barrels;

Of course He Lingchuan wanted an elegant bath.But even the sound insulation effect of the private room is very average, not to mention that the big wooden barrel is placed by the window, and he can see the back hall of the Red Pavilion Square opposite.

The opposite room was lit, and when the windows were closed, there was a very intense shadow puppet show, and when the windows were not closed, there was an action show, and there were women's exaggerated and deformed screams, which floated in through the dense water vapor, which seemed very unreal.

It is not easy to have a full meal, and acting is also very hard.

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, when the door of the private room was slammed open with a bang, and three men rushed in, asking him viciously, "Where are you hiding?"

There was also an owl, which flew in and snorted, and landed on the beam to look around.

He Lingchuan looked blank: "Who?"

The three of them seemed to be running out of breath. They looked behind the screen, on the beams of the roof, and under the bed. They even lifted the lid of the toilet to take a look, for fear that there might be people hiding inside.

One of them went to look out the window, but was hung up by the action scene on the opposite side, and couldn't take his eyes off it.

He Lingchuan leaned over to take a look, and it was really difficult.

The other two came over and slapped their companions hard on the head: "Look at P, keep searching!"
