About me traveling to the world of immortality but finding ways to surf the Internet
Chapter 187 Qingrong City
Through He Qianqing's explanation, Yang Yuyao learned that the countries of Xia, Bianliang, and Wei Wu were also called "Shangguo" because the first immortal cultivators were born and began to practice in this area. Naturally, these earliest cultivators retained the characteristics of these countries in their clothing.
Later, as the methods of cultivation became more and more perfect and there were more and more cultivators, there would be some guys who couldn't stand loneliness and wandered around the world collecting resources. While their power shocked people in other places, they also spread their practice methods. In fact, in the beginning, there were people like monks all over the world who had their own practice methods. However, compared to monks, their practice methods were primitive and imperfect. Many of them could not even fly the most basic weapon. .
As a result, people in other places who had the spirit of immortality abandoned their original way of practice and turned to worship these monks as their teachers. Under the influence of this, the monks in other places also imitated these monks in terms of clothing and even living habits. Countries are getting closer, but because each other's clothing styles influence each other, it eventually leads to the phenomenon that the clothing styles of monks in this world are quite different from those of ordinary people. These countries where monks were first born are also regarded as holy places and are respectfully called superior countries.
Most people like to follow the example of others. The early monks earned a reputation for themselves and were regarded as immortals by the world. They must be superior to others. Therefore, even if ordinary people cannot practice, they still want to imitate their clothes. However, in countries such as Xia, Bianliang, and Weiwu, their own clothing is similar to the clothing of monks. In order to avoid people taking advantage of this to cheat, there are strict regulations to distinguish the clothing of mortals from the clothing of monks.
The monks wanted to wear mortal clothes casually, but at most it would be a little troublesome to verify their identity. However, if ordinary people dress themselves as monks, they will be regarded as having bad intentions and be punished. Therefore, ordinary people in these countries are strictly restricted in their clothing. Not only must they avoid imitating the clothing of monks, but they must also not exceed the levels set by the royal authority.
On the contrary, countries like Fanxi, because their own clothing style is very different from the clothing of these "upper countries", do not need to be so strict. They only need to stipulate that specific colors cannot be used, and they need to wear special decorations to distinguish them. . Because of this, Yang Yuyao felt that the clothes of these people looked so familiar at first glance, but at the next glance, he felt that something was wrong.
"What about Buddhism?" Yang Yuyao asked curiously. Yang Yuyao knew that the practice methods of monks like them were derived from Taoism and evolved into various Taoisms. But the existence of Buddhism in this world is a bit strange, and the records Yang Yuyao can find are very vague.
"Buddhism is indeed one of the more mainstream practice methods nowadays except for us. Its origin is unknown, and it is not included in the path of ascension given by the gods back then." He Qianqing frowned and thought for a while before replying. "It is said that it may have originated in the area of present-day Ruliao country, but since Buddhism has completely disappeared there, there is no sufficient evidence to prove this statement."
Yang Yuyao suddenly wondered if there had been a gap in the history of this world, or if something had forcibly tampered with the memories of people in this world. The origin of Buddhism was unknown, and the Huihuo Sect seemed to have appeared suddenly in front of the world. Not a small scale. Even if their founder is a time-traveler, or even a group of time-travelers, they should leave traces during the development process by recruiting people and collecting resources. This kind of unknown origin should not occur.
However, with insufficient information, he could only make baseless guesses. So Yang Yuyao put this idea aside and walked into an inn with He Qianqing.
"Guest sir, have you seen those people offering sacrifices outside the city? Ignore them. They believe in an unknown god called Du, and they often hold strange sacrificial activities."
Yang Yuyao and the others had just stepped into the inn when they heard the innkeeper, who had a standard Fanxi appearance, talking to several guests. Judging from their clothes and faces, those guests were real outsiders, but they didn't know where they were from. What country.
"Are there still people who believe in false gods today?" one of the guests asked. His accent sounded like someone from the Bianliang Kingdom.
"Who knows? But sir, please don't say this in front of those people. Those people will risk their lives if they go crazy!" the innkeeper kindly reminded.
The chat between these people made Yang Yuyao almost instantly identify that they were talking about the group of people he met outside Qingrong City who soaked themselves in the water and sang. Yang Yuyao thought it was a local custom, but he didn't expect it. To these locals, the behavior of those people was also abnormal.
Yang Yuyao had never heard of a god called "Du", and he didn't even know which word it was just by listening to the pronunciation. Perhaps as the guest with a Bianliang accent guessed, this "Du" is a false god.
In the fragmented records of this world, tens of thousands of years ago, humans, demons, demons, and ghosts were mixed together, and some minor gods came to earth more frequently to fulfill the wishes of believers, which made it difficult for ordinary mortals at that time to distinguish. , thus giving opportunities to those with evil intentions. They call themselves gods and dominate one area to commit evil, forcing the local people to a point where life is worse than death.
What's even more sad is that there are so many evildoers, and most of them are human monks.
After all, the demon clan has a demon world to live in, and the demon clan also has a demon world. Although the ghost clan wanders in the human world, most of them are unconscious and only know how to kill instinctively, and cannot make such movements. Only human monks will not go to the demon world or the demon world unless they need to seek resources, so they stay in the immortal world most of the time.
But no matter which race they are, they all belong to a very high level without exception. This means that if they want to continue to advance, they need to obtain more resources. In this era of competition for hegemony, the collection and plunder of resources is particularly dangerous. This makes some people want to find another way to shape themselves into gods, take advantage of people's fear of gods, enslave these people, and let them work and take risks for themselves.
Later, these guys became more cruel and greedy. They were no longer content with just servitude, and began to demand human tribute, and the amount they demanded increased year by year. Other monks who couldn't stand it began to unite to fight against these guys, rescue the girls and children who were used as sacrifices, and then accept the talented among them as disciples, and then expand their own power and gradually establish an early sect. .
And these guys who bluff and deceive in the name of gods, regardless of race, are all called false gods.
Up to now, the word false god almost only appears in various legends and stories. But in extremely remote places, it is said that there are still people using this ancient method to cheat and deceive. Some are not even monks, but just mortals who use magic weapons to take advantage of other people's ignorance. As for the specific "independence" worshiped by those people in the suburbs mentioned by the innkeeper, it is unknown.
But what is certain is that the believers of "independence" have not caused very bad consequences for the time being. Otherwise, how could the people in power in Fanxi country tolerate the blatant existence of such a force in their own country?
The few guests who were probably from Bianliang Kingdom left the inn after chatting with the innkeeper. Under the guidance of a waiter, they took Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing to their rooms.
Yang Yuyao noticed that compared to the inns at Dazi Guohui Fire Cult's residence that were full of Dazi characteristics both inside and outside, the inns in Qingrong City in Fanxi State looked similar to those high-end mortal inns that Yang Yuyao had seen before. They look very similar in appearance. If you hadn't seen the innkeeper who was obviously a local, you would have thought that people from Xia Kingdom or Wei Wu Kingdom and Bianliang Kingdom opened an inn here.
It wasn't until they entered the room that they saw an interior full of local characteristics, but it still felt mixed with elements from Xia Kingdom and other countries. In short, it looked a bit subtle.
"Why is this mirror placed like this? Is this a local characteristic?" Yang Yuyao looked at the round bronze mirror that seemed to be in a strange position. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't think of a reason.
After settling into the room, the bright moonlight shone silvery white through the window lattice. Yang Yuyao stood by the window and looked down. Many shops were lighting up lanterns one after another. Yang Yuyao, who estimated that these shops had not closed their stalls so quickly, decided to take He Qianqing to try the special delicacies of Qingrong City. Naturally, He Qianqing would not refuse Yang Yuyao's invitation and went with him decisively. They left Tushan in the room and went out.
However, Yang Yuyao did not expect that he was not very interested in the local food here. After trying several of them, he felt that they were not suitable for his taste. On the contrary, the restaurants opened by outsiders were more in line with his taste. Although this result was unexpected, they returned to the inn after eating and drinking.
In the room, Tushan actually didn't light the lamp. But the moonlight is so bright tonight, and with the moonlight shining into the room, the scene inside is clearly visible. Especially where the moonlight casts a square spot of light by the window, Tushan, who remained in her original state, squatted in this spot of light, letting the moonlight cover her body. She raised her head and stretched her narrow and long fox mouth towards the moon. , obviously practicing.
Yang Yuyao didn't intend to disturb her, but just a moment after they entered the door, Tu Shan suddenly howled, and then his breath began to surge. The moonlight poured in like flowing water and was absorbed by her, and then seemed to flow all the way to her tail. Immediately afterwards, a golden light emerged from the root of Tushan's tail. Just like the time she was given the name by Yang Yuyao, a new fox tail condensed from the root of Tushan's tail, and she was promoted again.
"Three tails! Master! I actually have three tails!" Tushan, who had been promoted, happily chased his own tail in circles, as if he wanted to confirm the authenticity of his new tail. Tushan could not even think about becoming a three-tailed fox demon in such a short time. She knew very well how poor her qualifications were before. If she had not met Yang Yuyao, if she had not recognized Yang Yuyao as her The master was able to give her the name Tushan, how could she be promoted to her current level? !
The three-tailed fox demon can be regarded as the clan leader in their small tribe of fox demons. Although it is far inferior to those big demons with six or even nine tails, Tu Shan is already very satisfied. She expressed her gratitude to Yang Yuyao excitedly and uncertainly, but because it was too noisy and the fox's unique laughter sounded a bit weird, He Qianqing drove him back to the servant room on the grounds that after being promoted, he should consolidate his realm. .
"This fox has gained a lot of benefits by following you." He Qianqing said to Yang Yuyao with a smile.
"Yeah, but she works really hard herself." Yang Yuyao nodded and agreed.
"Then next, is it my turn to ask for some benefits?" He Qianqing said with a smile, running his slender fingers through Yang Yuyao's temple hair, gently lifting the hair, and then holding him in his arms. cheek. The young man's beautiful spring-like eyes showed a trace of surprise and confusion, as if he was trying to understand what He Qianqing wanted to express by saying this. His cheeks were nostalgic for the warmth of his palm, but he rubbed them unconsciously.
The helplessness in He Qianqing's heart was dissipated by this small action. He suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing that Yang Yuyao was still so ignorant and slow about feelings. The darkness hidden in his heart was cheering for Yang Yuyao's imperfection. He is like a fierce ghost transformed from greed. Even if Yang Yuyao is really the god of Li Fan, his desires will turn into vines full of thorns, using these shortcomings as fulcrums to tightly entangle his young man and trap him in Never let go.
The flowing clouds moved with the wind, silently covering the bright moon. But the candlelight flickered in the room, and the flickering light illuminated every drop of sweat in an extremely ambiguous manner. Yang Yuyao's black hair fell down along the lines of his body, and even the tips of his hair were covered with glistening beads of sweat. He hugged the pillow with his arms, biting a corner, and used the fingers of his other hand to pull out flower-like folds from the sheets.
He Qianqing's breath, faster and hotter than usual, hit the back of Yang Yuyao's neck, turning the skin into a bright pink. The young man's affectionate eyes were like spring water, and his tears were shining brightly. His reason and soul seemed to be thrown higher and higher, like the clouds, above the nine heavens.
After a short rest, Yang Yuyao returned to the world. He blinked and tried to dispel the blurred tears in his eyes. A strange feeling like being watched by others made Yang Yuyao support his upper body with difficulty on his elbows, trying to find out the cause of this feeling. The bronze mirror placed in a special position reflected the candlelight, illuminating Yang Yuyao's blushing face, and he saw the scene in the mirror.
Although the mirror was not facing the bed, it could almost completely reflect the postures of Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing at this time. Yang Yuyao saw them sticking together closely, which he had never noticed before. scene. Yang Yuyao's face instantly turned red, and his remaining sense allowed him to use his spiritual power to roll up an unknown robe, covering the bronze mirror tightly.
He Qianqing didn't say anything about Yang Yuyao's move. With a smile on his lips, he lowered his head and kissed the back of the young man's neck.
"Xiao Yao, turn around, I want to see your face." He Qianqing's mellow voice sounded from behind Yang Yuyao's ears. As if he was bewitched, Yang Yuyao turned around obediently.
"Xiaoyao, slow down, don't hurt yourself." He Qianqing reminded, helping.
"Yeah." Yang Yuyao frowned and responded vaguely. Then he tried to use his arms to get closer to He Qianqing, so that their chests were almost touching each other. Yang Yuyao raised his chin and took the initiative to kiss He Qianqing's lips.
"Xiaoyao, do you want to kiss me?" He Qianqing asked with a smile, and Yang Yuyao hummed in confirmation.
"Okay, cooperate with me." He Qianqing said, and then he once again pulled his Xiaoyao into their exclusive Taoyuan Township.
