Chapter 343: It's all the fault of the black cauldron
There is another big thing, the black mother has been thinking in her heart and not saying it, he thinks that if this matter is really said, I am afraid that only Mengqi can resonate with him, as for the old master, it is not clear what he thinks for a while.
That thing is: Is that mysterious power a combination of the King of Cangluo and the Celestial Star, or is it completely unrelated? If the truth belongs to the latter, then the enemy facing the King Continent is more powerful than everyone here can imagine. But to inform them of this idea at this time is undoubtedly a bit confusing, and it is a little bit of a horror atmosphere.
"Hey~ Little Mengqi, where are you now, and are you all right?" I can't tell why, but the black mother misses that silly dream even more, and feels that she is the same traveler as him.
No one understands Hei Mu's thoughts, and because he is so annoying usually, it is difficult for ordinary people to regard him as the kind of far-sighted person who knows how to think about the world. Hey, poor black mother, not only is she burdened by her fat appearance, but that mouth has also caused him a lot of trouble.
The black mother slapped her for a long time and no one responded, so she had to stop with a dry smile. Sweeping around, good fellow, even the bare eyes of Dunshan, the girl who was waiting in the council hall and the sentry at the door, more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at him like thorns, the taste of thorns in his back was so uncomfortable that he wanted to use the excuse to go to the toilet and slip out.
It's a pity that you can't slip away, otherwise you will have to miss the opportunity to listen to the last bit of experience in Dunshan. With his popularity, even if he asks people about the missing parts, no one will necessarily want to tell him. The old master is sure to say it, but the old man is only afraid that he will have another tool to fix him, or he will suffer a crime, and he will not want to take the words out of the old master's mouth!
Seeing that the black mother was quiet, Zhong Kui took another sip of tea and said: "The reason why Dunshan fled to the deserted grave outside Chang'an City to be accompanied by ghosts is because of ......."
……
After seeing Zhong Kui, after leaving the Buddha Temple, the sky was already bright.
Dunshan decided to go to the bustling Chang'an City to see if he could use the lively atmosphere to completely drive away the demons and cheer himself up in the popular metropolis.
Chang'an City is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhong Kui is guarded by a magistrate, and the public security situation has always been good, and there will generally be no major crimes.
After all, Dunshan is young, and he has just stepped out of the barren forest surrounded by demons, so he is impatient to go to that prosperous place to explore. But he couldn't say exactly what he was looking for, so he could only take one step at a time. In short, now he has become a real loner, no matter where he goes, he no longer cares.
Chang'an in the era of kings is the cultural center of the whole king's continent, integrating the culture and customs of all parts of the continent, no matter which street you walk on, you can hear foreign languages, and you can also see people dressed in strange costumes and strange appearances. So even if a mecha warrior like Dunshan took to the streets, it wouldn't be too eye-catching.
The bad thing is that there is a big patch on the back of Dunshan, and the big patch looks like a pot or a black pot no matter what angle you look at.
"Big iron monster, back the black pot, the pot is filled with black dumplings! Black gluttony, lumps, iron monsters bring disasters and disasters! ”
This is a nursery rhyme that began to circulate on Suzaku Street not long after Dunshan came to Chang'an.
I don't know who wrote this nursery rhyme, but as soon as it was released, it was widely sung, so that people who didn't come to the city for three days knew that there was a plague god with a black cauldron here.
In the peaceful period, people lived too much of a comfortable life, and they were always worried that they could not find a small pebble in their lives that could stir up waves. The appearance of the shield mountain just played the role of a small pebble, and as far as his head is concerned, it is not only a pebble, it can be called an elephant, just imagine how interesting it is to throw an elephant into the calm lake......
In ancient times, the traces of human beings became dense after the Great Wall was repaired for many years, and Dunshan was accustomed to seeing the lonely mountains and rivers, and suddenly walked into the capital city that was full of excitement everywhere, and naturally felt very fresh.
He knew that he was too big to break things and cause damage to others if he went indoors, so he only roamed the streets, and did not stay at the inn at night curfew, but left before the gates were closed to find a place to spend the night.
But he didn't expect that after only walking on the street for a few days, his ears were full of strange words such as "iron monster" and "black cauldron", and at first he didn't even associate the nursery rhyme with himself, and smirked a few times with "hehe......
One day, he stood in front of a vendor selling rouge gouache and pointed to a box of rouge with peony flowers to see. He didn't have any silver in his pocket, and he couldn't afford anything, but wherever he went, he heard the seller say, "Look at it as you like, and buy it when you're satisfied," and he understood that as long as he didn't take it away, he didn't have to pay for it just by holding it in his hand.
The stall owner is an older lady in her thirties, wearing heavy makeup, presumably using the materials she sells herself, to attract customers.
Seeing that it was such an ugly mecha monster, the eldest sister was very angry, because Dunshan's physique was too huge, and she directly blocked the road in front of the stall.
"Hey, I said this guest, this is something to be sold to a little girl, are you going to buy it for the lady, or the lady of the house?" The eldest sister with heavy makeup squeezed out a stiff smile and asked.
Whether it was on the Origin Earth or the King Continent, Dunshan had no experience in buying things on the street, and when he heard the stall owner ask, he replied honestly: "I've never seen incense powder, I just want to figure out what these are." I don't have a wife, and I don't wipe it myself. ”
"Hey~ I said that you, the person, are here to make trouble, right?" When the eldest sister heard this, she was very angry, and she crossed her waist and scolded. The appearance of the shrew suddenly frightened Dunshan, and her heart was sour and wanted to cry.
The eldest sister spat and called: "All the neighbors have come to see what kind of thing this is?" This disaster star with a black pot doesn't go anywhere and goes to the old lady's road, is it because the old lady didn't look at the yellow calendar when she went out, and she was unlucky? I said that you, a monster, also went to find a well to take care of yourself first, carrying the black cauldron on your back is a disaster, and you ran out to annoy people, what are you doing? ”
"Black Cauldron...... Calamity?? Is that ballad sung by children everywhere referring to ...... I? ”
Dunshan was shocked, took a step back and bumped into an old man who picked eggs, hundreds of eggs fell on the hard bluestone street at once, yellow and white flowing all over the ground......
The scolding of the women selling fat powder was mixed with the desperate cries of the old people, and the streets were suddenly in chaos, and the children who sang nursery rhymes also rushed over, taking advantage of their small size to squeeze into the crowd to watch the excitement.
