Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- The city was still in chaos. At this time, the government and the Hu soldiers were unable to control the situation. The situation in Yecheng was completely out of control. Many houses were set on fire. A large number of Hu people began to move in groups to the west city, trying to get rid of Mowen. Destroy the west gate and escape.
Mo Wen walked out of Pu Mansion from the south of the city to the east of the city. The east of the city was a piece of harvested farmland. From a long distance away, you could see Lao Wu sitting under a big tree in the farmland with his head bowed.
Seeing Mo Wen return, Lao Wu stood up straight and said, "Master, are you back?"
"You didn't participate in the war?" Mo Wen asked. There was no blood on Lao Wu's body and his filial stick was clean, which showed that he did not participate in the war in the city.
"I can't even tell who is the bad guy." Lao Wu took off his robe and transformed into the sky.
Mo Wen sighed and shook his head when he heard this. Lao Wu must have also seen some extraordinary actions of the Han people, so he had conflicts and entanglements in his heart.
After shaking his head, Mo Wen raised his energy and flew onto the bat's back. Lao Wu didn't stop at all this time, picked up Mo Wen and immediately fluttered his wings to the east.
After a while, Yecheng, which was full of carnage and blood, was left behind by the two of them hundreds of miles away.
What he saw and heard before made Lao Wu feel very depressed. After taking off, he just flapped his wings and flew eastward without saying a word.
After traveling for hundreds of miles, billowing smoke and dust appeared below. Mo Wen took a closer look and saw a large number of cavalry galloping on the official road below. Judging from their clothes and armor, they thought they were troops of the Hu people. It was obvious that they had received an emergency call from Yecheng. He sent a message and rushed to Yecheng for reinforcements.
"Master, who do you think can win?" Lao Wu looked at the cavalry team stretching for miles below.
"It's between two choices." Mo Wen shook his head and said. The main force of the Hu army was still there, and they had an absolute advantage in strength. The advantage of the Han people is that they have high morale, all the people are soldiers, and they have Liu Shaoqing to help them. With Liu Shaoqing's cultivation, it is not difficult to kill the monks who were escorting them.
When Lao Wu heard this, he didn¡¯t ask any more questions and changed his route to the southeast. Along the way, the villages in the city were still very peaceful. It can be seen that Yecheng was the starting point of the Han people's attack on the barbarians, and the incident was not spread.
"Master, do you really want to go to the East China Sea?" Lao Wu asked.
¡°I¡¯ll go and settle my worries first, and then I¡¯ll take revenge on you when I come back.¡± Mo Wen said.
"You destroyed those three guys, and I'm not angry anymore. It doesn't matter whether we take revenge or not. I thought it might be dangerous for us to go to the East China Sea. Don't forget, we let Na Ao go in the South China Sea. What's going on?" Lao Wu couldn't remember the name of Nanhai Dragon Girl.
"Ao Bang." Mo Wen said. What Lao Wu said was not unreasonable. He rescued Ao Bang from a dead island in the East China Sea and received a large number of spiritual seeds in return from Ao Bang. At the same time, he also offended After leaving the East China Sea Dragon Clan, if you encounter the East China Sea Dragon Clan by chance, you will definitely be retaliated against.
"Yes, Ao Bang, I'd better forget it. It's been several years. Maybe he has forgotten about it a long time ago. Let's go back to the Taoist Temple." Lao Wu said.
Mo Wen knew that Lao Wu was worried about the safety of Mu Qing and his daughter, so he said, "Even if the Hu people are driven westward, they will not pass by our Taoist temple. This Suanni inner elixir must always be returned to its owner. I promised you that it would be a good thing back then." How can the original owner break his promise?"
Seeing that Mo Wen had made up his mind, Lao Wu could only continue to fly eastward. In the evening, the two of them came to the sky above the seaside town where they had settled before going to sea.
¡°It¡¯s windy tonight, so it¡¯s not advisable to go out to sea. Stay overnight in the town below.¡± Mo Wen said to Lao Wu.
After Lao Wu nodded, he flew low and landed. After landing, he dressed properly and walked into the town with Mo Wen.
The town was very small, with only a hundred or so households, and only one inn, located in the southeast of the town. After entering the town, the two of them went straight to the inn where they had stayed.
"Master, has something happened here?" Lao Wu asked doubtfully. The passers-by they met while walking were all in shabby clothes and hungry faces. When they came here, the villagers here were Lived very richly.
"It must have been a flood." Mo Wen said casually. Before Lao Wu asked, he had already discovered the current situation here and guessed the cause of this situation. Zhang Dongzhi once said that there are several grain-producing counties on the southeast coast. It has been suffering from floods for many years, and this must have been caused by the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea. Although the area where the two are currently located is far north, they cannot escape the influence.
¡°People here don¡¯t farm much, so what happened to the flood?¡± Lao Wu asked in confusion.
"It's also possible that the Dragon Clan in the South China Sea has started a war with the Dragon Clan in the East China Sea. The sea is not peaceful and they can't go to sea." Mo Wen said. It was autumn, but there were no dried fish or seaweeds drying in the town.
While the two were talking, they came to the door of the inn. The owner's family of three were having dinner in the inn. When the owner saw the two arriving, he hurriedly stood up to greet them. Mo Wen glanced at the food on the table and found that the food was veryIt is very poor and there is no sea product, which makes me more convinced that the poverty here is caused by the inability to go to the sea.
Lao Wu had not eaten for a day and was very hungry. After sitting down, he immediately ordered wine and food. He never thought that the owner of the restaurant would look embarrassed when he heard this.
"Go quickly." When Lao Wu saw this, he took out some scraps of gold and threw it to the middle-aged shop owner.
The shopkeeper took the gold, hesitated for a moment and turned around. After a while, he brought a few dishes of dried vegetables and a jug of white wine, "Sir, please use it first. The dog meat will have to wait for a while."
"Where's the dog meat?" Mo Wen asked with a frown.
¡°I have a yellow dog at home, and it¡¯s time for its life to expire today.¡± After the shop owner said that, he turned and walked towards the back of the house.
"Forget it, forget it, my master doesn't eat dog meat, don't kill him." Lao Wu glanced at the shopkeeper's daughter who looked sad in front of him, and stopped the shopkeeper. After saying this, he stood up and raised his hand to the west, "Master , I¡¯ll go out.¡±
Mo Wen knew that Lao Wu was going to hunt in the mountains, so he nodded in agreement.
The shop owner accepted the gold from the two of them, but couldn't bring out a decent meal. He hesitated for a while, wondering whether he should refund the money for the meal.
"Shopkeeper, I came to your place a few years ago. Your place was very prosperous at that time. How could it be like this if I haven't been here for a few years?" Mo Wen picked up the wine glass and poured wine from the pot.
"Hey, the Taoist priest doesn't know something. Didn't the ancients say that people rely on mountains to eat and water to eat? Our Dengzhou is close to the East China Sea and produces sea salt. In the past few years, during the war in the northwest, the government increased the land tax and salt tax. You have to pay 80% for the rice, and you have to pay the salt tax in cash when you get it out of the sun. I'll wait for someone who can pay it." The shop owner lit the oil lamp on the counter and handed it over.
"As far as I know, there are a lot of fish and shrimps in the sea. Why don't you catch them to eat?" Mo Wen asked.
"It's a long story, and for some reason, the sea has been unstable in recent years. Fishermen who go out to sea often encounter big waves and heavy rains, and the strange fish, dragon, and snake often come out to cause trouble. We don't dare to go out to sea. We I can only pick up some sea vegetables and dead fish from the beach, which is not enough to satisfy my hunger, and I can¡¯t sell them for money.¡± The shop owner raised his hand and pointed to the east.
Mo Wen nodded when he heard this and didn't ask any more questions.
"How did the Taoist priest come to this remote place?" the middle-aged shop owner asked.
"There are some personal matters to take care of." Mo Wen frowned slightly. According to the rules, the store should not ask the customer's origin and itinerary.
"I wonder if Chang can succumb to demons?" The middle-aged shop owner came forward, holding a pot and pouring wine for Mo Wen.
"Is there a monster causing trouble here?" Mo Wen asked sideways.
"Yes, this demon has been doing evil for more than half a year. If the Taoist priest can subdue it, we will definitely reward him with generous gifts." The shop owner said in a low voice.
"You can't even eat, how can you get such generous gifts?" Lao Wu walked in from the door carrying a bunch of fluttering birds.
Hearing what Lao Wu said, the shopkeeper suddenly looked ashamed, "The ten taels of silver for the ceremony can still be enough."
"Hahaha, the price you are talking about is the price of an ordinary Taoist priest. Do you know who my master is? It depends on whether he is happy with ten taels or even ten thousand taels." Lao Wu smiled and walked closer and took the string of birds. He handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "Go and stew it quickly. The waiter is ready. I will intercede for you."
"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly when he heard this, then turned towards the kitchen with the bunch of struggling birds in his arms, leaving bird feathers all over the floor.
"Hey, how can you be so disheveled in your clothes? Come on, let me use this money to buy you some clothes." Lao Wu took out a piece of gold from his arms and gave it to the girl who was sweeping the feathers on the ground with a broom.
"Thank you, brother, thank you, sir." The girl took the gold and thanked them happily.
Mo Wen turned around and glanced at the girl. She was the shop owner's daughter. She was in her prime, with a round face, big eyes, and a graceful figure. She was very cute.
"I'm going to get the eldest brother and the master a drink." The girl held her golden hands in front of her chest and turned to leave.
"Oh, what a pity, what a goddamn world." Lao Wu sighed.
"An innocent woman is quite polite. If the marriage is not settled, you can take her as a side wife." Mo Wen said. The two grew up together, so Lao Wu couldn't hide his thoughts from him.
"Master, you wrongly blamed me, I just feel sorry for her." Lao Wu hurriedly defended.
"Looking around, there are poor people everywhere. Have you ever generously given them ten taels of gold?" Mo Wen rolled his eyes at Lao Wu.
"I'm a servant, so it's not good to take a concubine. Besides, I don't know if Mu Qingtong agrees with it." Lao Wu rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"When did you hear what Mu Qing said?" Mo Wen picked up the wine pot.
"I wonder if they are willing." Lao Wu hurriedly grabbed the jug and poured some wine into the conversation.
Mo Wen smiled and did not answer.
"Master, youWhy do people here grow so tall? "Lao Wu asked casually. The shop owner's daughter is slender and tall, half a head taller than him.
"In ancient times, there were two powerful ethnic groups, the barbarians. The barbarians are the southwest wilderness where Long Mian is located, and the barbarians are the Dongyi, which refers to the coastal area of ??Dengzhou. The people here have barbarian ancestry, and the barbarians are much taller than us Han people. "Mo Wen explained casually.
"So they're not Han Chinese." Lao Wu looked regretful.
"We in the north have been invaded by the Hu people for nearly thirty years, and the bloodlines have been mixed, and we can no longer distinguish ourselves. I am afraid that only the Minzhou, Shu, and Ezhou areas in the south still have pure Han people." Mo Wen said.
"Is our blood pure?" Lao Wu asked with a grin.
Mo Wen smiled and said, "Han people are not tall."
"Then I'm purer than you." Lao Wu joked.
While the two were chatting and joking, the girl brought wine to them. There was still yellow mud on the altar, which must have been newly dug old wine from the soil.
Lao Wu took the wine jar and winked secretly at Mo Wen. Mo Wen pretended not to see him. Lao Wu had no choice but to ask the girl with a shy face, "Little girl, how old are you this year?
