Yu Youyu, go and find out where it is ahead." Chen Jiu yawned and opened his eyes.
Yu Youyu tied the donkey up, and then looked at the passers-by. A bearded uncle came towards him. Yu Youyu smiled softly: "Uncle, I have something to ask you."
The uncle was carrying a bag, and he didn't know what the bulging bag contained: "It turns out that he is a scholar. I wonder what happened to him?"
"Uncle, where are you?"
The big man smiled softly: "This is the junction of Qingzhou Prefecture and Mingzhou Prefecture. This is a place where neither side cares, and it is very chaotic."
"I don't care?" Yu Youyu said doubtfully.
"It's just that Qingzhou Prefecture doesn't care, Mingzhou Prefecture doesn't care." The big man looked like you were an idiot.
Yu Youyu broke into sweat, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Looking at Chen Jiu sitting on the donkey and Yu Youyu leading the donkey, the big man deliberately reminded these two nerds: "You two gentlemen are from other places."
Yu Youyu stopped and said, "Uncle, you have good eyesight. We are going to Beijing to take the examination."
The big man was startled, and then showed admiration: "It turns out that they are scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam. It's amazing. They are all officials. Let me tell you something. In the area where the two don't care, that is, about four or five years ahead. There is a temple hundreds of miles away, but you must never go to that temple."
Chen Jiu was somewhat interested in the donkey: "Why can't I go?"
The big man simply put down the bag: "You don't know, that temple used to be called Lanruo Temple, but then all 460 people in Lanruo Temple, big and small, died overnight, and the government didn't find out the truth. It is said that those people When a monk dies, all his essence and blood are taken away, leaving only his skin and bones."
Chen Jiu frowned: "What does the government do for food? How about Lanruo Temple now?"
"Now, even now, no one dares to stay at Lanruo Temple, because there are rumors of being haunted there from time to time, and some people even died there inexplicably." The big man showed a scared look.
Chen Jiu nodded, then smiled: "I want to see how terrifying this Lanruo Temple is."
After finishing speaking, he drove the donkey and walked forward.
Yu Youyu hurriedly thanked the man. Chased towards Chen Jiu.
When hearing the name Lanruo Temple, Chen Jiu had a strange feeling in his heart. In his previous life, there was a Lanruo Temple, but that Lanruo Temple had an old demon named Black Mountain and a poor female ghost named Xiaoqian. I don¡¯t know what Lanruo Temple is like in this world.
Yu Youyu caught up with Chen Jiu and took the donkey's steel rope into his hand: "We really want to go to Lanruo Temple."
Chen Jiu nodded: "Since you are traveling, don't think about a smooth journey. How can you not take any risks? If the journey is smooth, what's the point?"
Yu Youyu touched his chin: "Yes, but the uncle said that Lanruo Temple is three hundred miles away. Whether we can meet is a matter of debate."
Chen Jiu nodded: "Let it go."
Seeing that he was about to walk out of Qingzhou Mansion, Chen Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Outside Qingzhou Mansion, going to Beijing, I don't know what the scenery is like."
Chen Jiu looked at Yu Youyu in front of him and said slightly curiously: "Yu Youyu, you said you are so old, how did you grow so tall? What did you eat when you were a child?"
Yu Youyu chuckled: "I started practicing martial arts when I was a child. I strengthened my physique, took various supplements, and just supplemented it."
Chen Jiu shook his head, it was really incomparable. This guy was younger than himself, but he grew so big. It was really unreasonable. Perhaps this is the life of a child from a large family.
Chen Jiu looked at Yu Youyu: "That uncle just said that Lanruo Temple is haunted, but have you ever seen what a ghost looks like?".
Yu Youyu rubbed his head: "I've never seen it before. It should be similar to those guys who practice Yin God, but because there is no flesh and blood. Without the nourishment of Yang God, it should be much worse than those monks."
Chen Jiu nodded, then touched his chin: "Yu Youyu, we have traveled seven or eight hundred miles, why don't you buy a horse?".
Yu Youyu didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry: ¡°Boss, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to buy a horse, it¡¯s because there is no horse seller nearby.¡±
"There should be a small town not far away. Let's stay there tonight. Then we will go to the horse market to buy you a horse."
Looking at the small town from a distance, Chen Jiuyi smiled: "Let's go in."
"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, that man on the donkey, what about you, stop here!" A soldier guarding the city shouted at the top of his lungs as he looked at Chen Jiu and Yu Youyu who were riding donkeys slowly entering.
Chen Jiu looked around and saw that he was the only one riding a donkey.
Yu Youyu restrained the donkey.
The soldier walked up carelessly: "Why are you still riding a donkey? Come down quickly."
Chen Jiu said expressionlessly: "Why, are there any rules here that don't allow people to ride donkeys into the city?".
The soldier guarding the city smiled at his companion: "It turns out that he is a young boy who doesn't even know any rules. Come and teach him what the rules are."
The soldier's companion's eyes lit up when he heard this. He finally had a chance to show off his skills. The soldier ran over and said, "Boy, get down now, or I'll ask someone to arrest you and charge you with disturbing the peace."
Chen Jiu smiled coldly: "The king of hell is easy to deal with, but the devil is difficult to deal with."
"I don't want to worry about this little thing. It's not worth it." Chen Jiu stepped off the donkey and got off the donkey.
The soldier stepped forward and looked at Chen Jiu, then at Yu Youyu, then pointed at the previous soldier who shouted for the first time and said, "Do you know who this man is?".
"I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing." Chen Jiu didn't even look at the other person, but just looked at the scenery of the small town.
This sentence made the other party very angry, especially this kind of ignoring attitude, which really made the soldier feel like he was eating shit.
"Boy, this is our captain. In this place where there is no control, we have the final say here," the soldier said arrogantly.
"Well, I understand now, can you let me in?" Chen Jiu said lightly.
The soldier was speechless for a moment and choked. There are still such people in the world who are not on the road. He said so without even a hint of expression.
"We have rules here. All donkeys are not allowed to enter the city." The soldier snorted coldly, "Boy, if you dare to ignore me, I will kill you."
To be honest, there are a lot of porters, traders and footmen coming and going. There is a basket at the gate of the city, and people passing by will put some copper coins into the basket on their own initiative.
"Look, there are so many donkeys entering the city, why can't my donkey enter the city?" Chen Jiu pointed at the donkeys passing by.
¡°This,,,this,,,¡± the soldier couldn¡¯t explain why.
The soldier captain came up and pulled the soldier behind him: "Boy, are you going to fight with us?"
As he said that, the soldier captain pointed to the big frame: "Did you see it? People have to pay a fee to enter the city."
Yu Youyu stood aside and said, "We don't pay to enter the state capital, why are you the only one who pays?"
The soldier captain laughed again, very proudly: "It goes without saying, because this is our territory, and of course we have the final say on the rules."
Chen Jiu nodded: "Okay then, how much is the entrance fee?".
The soldier captain snorted coldly: "Ten taels of silver."
Chen Jiu smiled coldly, the people passing by just paid a few pennies, and this soldier intended to blackmail them.
"Besides this donkey, what other expenses do the two of us have? Let's talk about it together," Chen Jiu said calmly.
The soldier captain continued: "The total taxes you two have on you are fifty taels of silver."
As soon as he said this, the crowd who had just gathered to watch the excitement couldn't help but take a breath: "This skin-picking king is getting more and more ruthless. He dares to ask for this price. This is blood-sucking. Even if he loses everything, he will give it away." I'm sorry."
"Are you sure there are none, are they just these?" Chen Jiu smiled coldly.
The soldier nodded: "No, that's all. You pay."
Chen Jiu took out a gold cake from his arms: "Here, here you go, give me change."
"This" After taking the gold cake, the two soldiers' eyes were red, like rabbits, but they couldn't find so much gold.
