Ride the wind and waves and have smooth sailing. More than a month later, the Ximen family's ship had entered the waters of Yamato.
??????????? This Yamato country is just a tiny place. To put it bluntly, it is an island country. The economy is relatively backward, and compared to the Tianhua Dynasty, the national power is even more declining. However, since it is a maritime country, it naturally has unique products that can be used as bargaining chips for trade.
The voyage is coming to an end and we can go down to land. Everyone is very excited.
When the Ye brothers and sisters came to the deck, they suddenly saw a group of people taking out their pens and inks, and facing each other, you helped me draw, and I helped you draw.
After a while, everyone turned into a big painted face, which was very ugly.
Ye Junmei was greatly surprised and quickly found someone to ask.
The man replied angrily: "It will be like this in Yamato."
The explanation is a bit general, even though Ye Junmei is smart, she doesn¡¯t know why. Fortunately, Second Young Master Ximen also came out soon. His originally handsome face was also outlined in pen and ink, making him look like a ghost. If you hadn't heard the voice, you would hardly have recognized it.
"Junsheng, you must be very strange."
Ye Junsheng nodded, he was indeed strange.
Second Young Master Ximen said with a wry smile: "Actually, we have no choice but to do so. This country of Yamato has some very special and strange national conditions."
"What a strange method?"
"Take ugliness as beauty."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the gate, the second young master Ximen didn't show off, and came to talk about it.
It turns out that there is a custom in Yamato country that emphasizes appearance rather than articles. The better the appearance, the higher the status. As for the standard of appearance evaluation, it is completely different from Tianhua Chao, almost the opposite. In a nutshell: If a person born with crooked melons and cracked dates comes to Yamato, he will be very popular and shocked
After listening, Ye Junsheng and Ye Junmei looked at each other in silence. Sure enough, the world is full of wonders.
Second Young Master Ximen smiled and said, "How about, how about I also ask someone to help you two draw?"
Ye Junmei raised his eyebrows and stuck out his tongue: "I don't want to draw."
Ye Junsheng asked: "If you keep the original appearance and go to the ground, nothing will happen, right?"
Second Young Master Ximen said with a smile: "That's okay It's okay now. In the past, when people from Yamato first saw us, they would be frightened and run away. We don't even expect to be able to discuss business with others."
In the past, when he came here for the first time, he also suffered a loss. When the other party saw him for the first time, he thought he was a man-eating monster and was so frightened that he ran away.
Ye Junsheng burst into laughter after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he was relieved: in the ancient times of the previous life, Chinese people had never seen black people and white people. When they suddenly saw someone with blond hair and blue eyes, they would think they were ghosts and be very scared.
About two hours later, Ximen¡¯s boat finally docked and anchored at a very busy pier. After finishing some matters, unloading began.
Ye Junsheng didn¡¯t have much interest in these procedures. He just told the second son Ximen and took his sister off the boat to go shopping around.
As expected, the Yamato citizens I saw were all as short as winter melons and had hideous and repulsive faces. Some of them had faces as black as coal, round and small ears, nostrils pointing upward, and nose hairs like brushes.
On one side, they saw that each other looked scary, but on the other side, when others saw them, they were also gibbering and looking horrified, as if they had seen a ghost, and they couldn't accept it.
The countries of Yamato have their own languages ??and cannot understand each other.
"His grandmother is such a bear, she actually dares to scold the master. Master, let me out, let the old pig out, and let these barbarians have a taste of our power!"
The indignant voice of the pig demon appeared in my mind.
Ye Junsheng's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that although this guy was lazy in cultivation, he was truly a language genius, proficient in many languages, including Yamato, Mongolian, etc. Carrying it with you is like bringing a translator with you.
"Tianhuo, please pay attention to your surroundings and see if there is anything unusual!"
¡°It¡¯s an order!¡±
The Xuanhuang Stone Seal of Heaven and Earth has been cracked with more than fifty restrictions, and many mysterious functions have been discovered and can be used freely. Now that the formation is in operation and opened, although the pig demon's body is inside, it can monitor the surrounding situation with its soul.
Leaving the pier and walking a few miles, there is a city in front of you called "Ryukyu".
This city is far inferior to Yangzhou and other places in Tianhua. Even compared to Jizhou, it is still inferior. But the streets inside were bustling with the same people coming and going.
Among them, we occasionally see Tianhua people and Mengyuan people with hooked noses and sunken eyes. But they basically all put on disguises, scribbling on their faces with pen and ink, like ghostly talismans, just like Yaksha.
In contrast, the Ye brothers and sisters without makeup are very eye-catching.
Ye Junmei saw a lot of new things for sale at the stalls on both sides of the street, which she had never heard of or seen before, so she wanted to take a look. When the strange-looking clinker stall owners saw her, they immediately waved their hands to tell her not to come near.
As a result, Ye Junmei was very depressed.
After walking for more than an hour, I met an official on a patrol. He was sitting on an open-topped sedan chair. He had a big belly, a face like a pig's head, a fat head and big ears, and his cheeks were so big that they almost fell off.
With such an appearance, it is even worse than the pig demon. But he is an official, and this is the appearance of an official. I don¡¯t know how many people eagerly hope to be like this.
Ye Junsheng looked at it with a smile. If it was a bit rare and strange at the beginning, now he is very calm.
Seeing a teahouse on the left, I took my sister up and found an empty seat to sit on. The waiter who greeted them had a crooked mouth and cracked teeth. Seeing their appearance, he really didn't want to come up and greet them. When other guests saw them, they also whispered.
Fortunately, at this stage, Yamato and Tianhua have frequent trade, exchange what they have, and have a good understanding of each other's appearance. If they were complete strangers and met suddenly, I don't know how much trouble would happen.
After a while, the waiter reluctantly came up to greet me.
Ye Junsheng learned from the gourd and painted the ladle, and he learned and applied it now. Through the on-the-spot guidance of the pig demon, he ordered some food in very poor Yamato dialect.
How can ordinary people understand this kind of mystery?
When Ye Junmei saw that her brother could actually speak the Yamato language, she never thought that it was the pig demon's credit. She thought that her brother learned it from books, and was greatly impressed: My brother is really right, there is everything in the book.
Reading thousands of books can help you travel thousands of miles.
Yamato¡¯s diet is also quite different from Tianhua¡¯s. Fortunately, the taste difference is not too big, so filling your stomach is not a problem.
At this time, Ye Junmei suddenly said: "Brother, have you noticed that you have never seen a woman during this whole journey?"
When Ye Junsheng heard this, he said: "Yes, they are all men."
The pig demon stayed in the world of Qiankun, his buttocks were itching, and he wished he could show up immediately. He chuckled and said: "I don't know something, this Yamato woman usually hides at home and cannot come out to show her face. Tsk tsk, I heard that Yamato The women are all as beautiful as flowers and as gentle as water. If there is a chance, I really want to get to know her."
Ye Junsheng curled his lips angrily: This bastard is lustful again! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
