Chapter 1158: Looking for Internal Help
Any ornament is taken to the world, and the money from sale is enough for a family of three to eat and drink for a few years. But here, it's just the decoration of a small roadside kiosk.
The higher you go, the more ornate and large the building becomes.
The Tianyao Palace of the Patriotic Kingdom is also a palace complex built on the mountain, but compared with the palace of the Lord of the White Night, it seems to be a little less luxurious.
Yan Saburo was also a little curious: "All the gold jewelry is used to decorate the roadside pavilions, what are the things in the treasure house of Ebony Han?"
"Gold, silver, and jewelry are all over the place in the Shura Road, and they are worthless. Chitose smiled, "Precious magic weapons, inherited ingenious things, and the remains of strong people are all valued." Oh yes, and certain slaves are worth a lot of money, too. ”
"Slave?" Yan Saburo frowned.
"Beautiful female ghosts, goblins, powerful evil golems, and even defeated asuras. Chitose snickered in his ear, "By the way, there are humans like you!"
"Rare things are expensive, you are good-looking, and you are fit, you will definitely be able to sell at a high price in the market. "So you have to be careful not to lose the bracelet." ”
The further you go, the more inhabitants there are, which can be called a monster atlas.
Still, humanoid creatures make up the majority.
Tsubame Saburo did not climb to the top of the mountain, because the lord's castle was built halfway up the leeward mountainside. The wind on the top of the mountain is strong and can blow the face crookedly, and normal people don't build houses there, and Asura is no exception.
Obviously, the territory of the Asura was not as heavily guarded as that of humans, and even the young man did not see the guards guarding the gate, and let them go straight in.
As Yan Saburo expected, the name Bai Gushan sounds lonely, but in fact, there are many residents in the city, all kinds of buildings are lined up, and the materials used to build are also strange.
Compared with Shengyi, and even compared with the small towns on the outskirts of the Weiguo Capital, the urban planning here is a bit unsophisticated, but it is full of messy beauty.
"Go ahead. Chitose hid in the wooden bell and pointed at him, "Further to the right, to the right, yes, this is the tavern." After so many years, even the face of the door has not changed much. ”
In front of Yan Saburo was an old house, a small two-story building that occupied a good spot on the street, and it looked older than the nearby buildings, and even the wood was shining like bronze. He stretched out his hand and patted it, and it actually had a metallic texture.
The tavern has a sign called "Heaven should not".
"This is copper wood, and the more ancient the wood, the more like copper, the texture and sound are loud. Chitose snorted, "Let's go inside." ”
Yan Saburo walked into the tavern with his legs raised.
It was still broad daylight, and there were few customers in the tavern.
The tables and chairs are made of the same materials as the tavern, and they are also made of copper and wood. I don't know how many people have sat down, and the surface is dull and shiny, more like bronze.
Yan Saburo saw a thin guest sitting at the table, holding an iron chain in his hand, and a woman was cuffed at the other end of the chain, not good-looking but full of black face.
She pressed the table, and it went dark.
Yan Saburo had good eyesight, and he could see that the bronze table had actually been corroded, and there were spots of green rust.
"Hey!" the tavern master quit, "watch your slave!"
The thin guest pulled the woman in front of him, slapped his face twice with a ruler, and then said sharply: "Sit down, otherwise I will refine you now!"
The woman was really silent and didn't dare to move.
Yan Saburo looked at the erosion on the table, but it was a little familiar. Chitose said softly, "That's a plague demon." ”
He was slightly moved. This woman is also a plague demon?
The plague demon he met spread the disease to the world, causing turmoil in many countries, and a series of accidents occurred in Chunming City. And the one in front of him was handcuffed and used as a slave.
The boy's eyes rolled slightly.
He used to think that Tianheng issued the task of eradicating the plague because it was too widely implicated and the lives were ruined. But as I got older and more experienced, I realized how shallow that idea was. Life and death are originally a part of the order of heaven and earth, and millions of living beings die every day in the world, so how can Heavenly Dao care about the death of human beings?
Now it seems that Tianheng will send that mission, perhaps because the plague demon did not belong to the human world in the first place. The plague demon that caused the turmoil in Chunming City may have slipped into the red dust from the Shura Road and the Hungry Ghost Road a long time ago, and was encountered by Yan Saburo, which triggered the Tianheng mission.
At this time, the owner of the tavern also came over: "What do you want to drink?"
This is a man with a full face and meat, with big shoulders and a round waist, and his thighs are about to catch up with Yan Saburo's waist.
The young man looked at him carefully before asking, "Is there any Meng Po soup?"
The tavern owner was stunned: "Are you joking?"
"If you have it, you will bring it. Yan Saburo held a red coin between his two fingers and pressed it lightly on the table.
It is a coin, but bright red in color, and a small skull engraved on the obverse. It wasn't a human skull, and Tsubazaburo clearly remembered that the top of the bone chain that Chitose commonly used was such a small skull, like some kind of snake.
The tavern owner picked up the red money and rubbed his fingers over the relief, as if to make sure it was not a forgery. Then he said in a rough voice, "Wait!"
He turned around and walked back behind the door.
The guests on the side all looked at Yan Saburo, who did not change his face and sat upright as usual.
Every word and deed, he did according to Chitose's requirements. It seems that the owner of this tavern is the person she is looking for.
Soon, the tavern owner came back, carrying a wine glass in his hand, and put it heavily in front of Yan Saburo, and the urn sounded: "Your wine." ”
This wide-mouthed wine glass is also made of copper wood, and it is large enough to hold at least three catties of wine.
However, the wine inside is dull yellow, and it is not liquid, but like a mist, it flows back and forth.
Yan Saburo was still looking at the drink, and the thin guest on the side had already opened his mouth: "Is Meng Po soup really sold here?"
The tavern owner snorted, "You want a drink, isn't it expensive?" ”
The thin guest stopped squeaking.
Chitose said to Yan Saburo: "Drink, it's okay." ”
The boy did not hesitate to raise his glass and poured half a cup down.
Half a cup is one and a half pounds.
The eyes of several guests suddenly focused on him, wanting to see how he reacted. The legendary Meng Po soup is the soup of forgetfulness, and the ghosts will forget the past after eating it.
As a result, the hungry ghost hiccuped, tasted it for a long time, and then asked the tavern owner: "It tastes good, and I will have another appetizer." ”
It seems to be a fake. Whatever, it's delicious. The other guests also said, "Bring me a drink." ”
Yan Saburo really thinks this wine is good, drinking it in the mouth like rain and mist, I can't tell what it tastes like, but it can make people feel slightly drunk.
But as soon as the appetizer was served, he regretted it:
There are more than a dozen eyeballs on the plate, and all of them can still turn!
