Chapter 298 Set foot in the eight realms of Shu
Shu Eight Boundaries. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The northern border of Shu State, in order to prevent Yuan Meng, build a large city wall, from east to north continuously, during which there are a total of eight passes, so the northern side, collectively known as the eight boundaries of Shu.
Qing Yuan and Gu Cang sat in the inn, listening carefully to everyone's discussion.
There are passers-by here, as well as a few locals.
This place has belonged to the eight realms of Shu, the local people are fierce, most of the men are tall, but also short-tempered, fierce, often fight and even kill, the law is also difficult to restrict, but similar to the place where Qingyuan settled at this moment, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke, or your own reason, but you are still not afraid.
The people here can be reasonable, but they will not harm people for no reason, and they are not really thieves.
The real chilling place in the eight realms of Shu originates from Shuanggui Mountain.
And what the inn is talking about is also happening to be on the side of Shuanggui Mountain.
......
Regarding Shuanggui Mountain, Qingyuan did not ask Hua Mei, but summoned Bai Jiye.
Although Bai Jiye's own Taoism is shallow, he has extremely high wisdom and knows that it is difficult to achieve cultivation, so he left countless means in the world, from the court to the market, which can be said to be the eyes and ears all over the world, and he knows the news from all sides.
Regarding the matter of this Shuanggui Mountain, although Bai Jiye did not know the hidden things of the immortal family level such as the Great Demon of the Demon Domain, he also told the local terrain, customs, as well as some major events in ancient times, and some recent big and small things.
No one in the inn talked about the matter on the other side of Shuanggui Mountain, but Qing Yuanruo inadvertently opened his mouth and gave guidance, so that the people in the inn talked about it accordingly, so as to make a slight comparison with Bai Jiye's news.
"Shuanggui Mountain is really terrifying, not only are there countless fierce birds and beasts, but even people are not good. ”
"Bazi County, Shuanggui Mountain, where the day is for farming, night for bandits, chatting with passing tourists during the day, and at night is to use kitchen knives, hoes and other things, killing people and seizing money. An old man in the armor sighed, about sixty years old, and said: "Although I have a bold temperament, act magnificently, and do not obey discipline, I am not evil, and I will not harm people for no reason...... But the local behavior of Nabazi County is really terrifying, and after the notoriety was spread, even the people from the Shu Eight Realms such as me did not dare to report their homes when they went out. ”
The old man took a sip of wine and said: "If it weren't for this, why would the old man be out of the way back then, and in the end nothing would have been accomplished?" Just because people heard about the people of the Shu Eight Realms, they didn't dare to use me, and if they used a fake identity, they would have to find out the origin before they dared to reuse it, otherwise it would just be a chore." ”
As he spoke, he seemed to remember the old things and sighed.
"A rat poop spoils a pot of porridge. ”
A middle-aged man next to him said: "When I first arrived in the Shuba realm, I was frightened and scared, and after walking a few times, I learned the truth......
This was obviously an out-of-towner, and he was followed by a dozen or so people, sitting at three tables, apparently transporting goods.
Kiyohara gave a little guidance from the beginning, but he just listened carefully and never spoke again.
Everyone talked about it for a long time, and they couldn't help but talk about the recent changes.
"The people over there, they used to be fine, but now they ......" Wu Lao shook his head slightly and said, "It's just that they can't even count people anymore." ”
"What does Elder Wu mean by this?" said the middle-aged man in surprise.
"This year, the grain and grass harvest of the eight regions of Shu is not much, in previous years, at such a time, there was a disaster grain in the imperial court, and this time, the border of Nanliang has been at war with Shu, and the general Jiang Baijian was defeated, and all the grain and grass were burned. In order to maintain the grain and grass of the army, Shu has no empty grain now, so this year's situation is relatively serious, and it can already be called a famine......"
The old man surnamed Wu sighed: "Fortunately, it has passed now, but when there was a famine in the first few months, alas, ......"
He shook his head slightly, and said: "We are here on the periphery of the Shu Eight Realm, relatively far south, the harvest is not bad, the old man took some grain, went to some relatives, and distributed it, and heard some rumors about it." ”
"What rumors?"
Someone next to him was surprised and couldn't help asking.
"In previous years, it was often murderous over there, but this year's ......" Wu Lao paused, and then said in a low voice: "It's cannibalism." ”
"Cannibalism?" everyone was horrified.
"Since the grain harvest is not much, and the court has no disaster grain relief, there will inevitably be a famine, and people will die of starvation, but now...... If you kill someone, you can eat meat. Wu Lao sighed and said: "I heard that it has become a trend to rob and kill passing tourists over there and eat meat, and our government here can't manage it, and it doesn't want to manage it, let alone dare to manage it, and as for the government over there, they don't want to manage it at all...... There are a lot of such things. ”
The middle-aged man said, "But there are very few people over there who are willing to go over, right?"
Wu Lao said: "So, if you can't kill the passing passengers, you will eat it again." ”
......
When Gu Cang heard this, he asked, "What is Yi Zi and Eat?"
Qingyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Trade children with each other, kill them and eat them." ”
Gu Cang was stunned, it was a demon, and it didn't have any deep feelings about eating people. It's just cannibalism, which is really rare......
And the people who were talking to Wu Lao over there were already in an uproar.
"How can this be ......?"
"Today's world is not so chaotic, our northern side has not had a war for many years, how can there be such a thing?"
"Others still have a conscience, but the people over there really don't have any conscience. ”
"Tiger poison does not eat children, they do not eat their own children, but give them to others in exchange for other people's children. Things like that......" someone sneered.
"Well, don't mention these things. ”
That Wu Lao waved his hand and said, "Drink." ”
At this moment, a subordinate hurriedly came from outside the door, and it seemed that he had come to invite Wu Lao to return to his house.
Wu Lao listened to it and snorted: "It's really boring, and you can't drink it." ”
With that, he got up and walked away.
Everyone sent it off.
......
Qing Yuan retracted his gaze and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that this old man, in this vicinity, can be regarded as having a high status, not just a rich man." ”
Ordinary people work hard every day, just for a bite to eat.
And this old man, although his clothes are not luxurious, he is only ordinary, but he can drink and have fun here, talk with others, and there are people in the family, which shows that the family is not bad.
It is no wonder that in these famine years, there was still a surplus to distribute to relatives and friends.
As for what the old man said, it also left a bit of gloom in Qingyuan's heart.
It seems that the people of Bazi County, Shuanggui Mountain, are more fierce and ruthless than they imagined, although they have a human body, they are afraid that there will be no hearts.
"Famine?"
Kiyohara pondered for a moment.
In fact, the Demon Domain is in the Shuanggui Mountain, or in other words, the Shuanggui Mountain is within the scope of the Demon Domain.
Famine for months?
Originally, robbing and killing passing tourists was already a place where the mountains and rivers were poor, but in the past few months, the people of Bazi County, Shuanggui Mountain, abandoned their last conscience and killed people and eaten?
It is said that the big demon runs the demon domain, and it is also a few months?
Kiyohara seemed to understand something. (To be continued.) )
