After listening to Xiao Rushi's speculation, the civet cat closed its eyes, stretched its entire body, and put its front paws on the ground. Xiao Rushi thought it had some great ideas at first, but it took him a while to understand that the cat was just stretching. .
"Although it is a spiritual beast raised by the ancestors, it has many tricks, but it is not a human being after all." Xiao Rushi thought in a dumbfounded way. What she said about the fight between mortals would not be believed even if others told her. He wanted to say: "How can there be such a stupid person in the world!" No wonder the civet responded with a long lazy waist. He thought for a long time and made up his mind. Since even the civet didn't understand, he went to warn the people here to be more serious. I won't be convinced, so I might as well keep this strange situation in mind and go to that city to see what the situation is like in the city.
Having made up his mind, he did not go back to the inn, but took another Bigu Pill and drank it. One pill of this elixir can be eaten for ten days. He used to take it regularly when he was practicing on Qiyun Peak. After he came out, in order to save elixirs, he relied on the treasures he carried with him to make food. However, he didn't know that after entering the city, What will happen to you, so take the elixir in advance to be prepared.
Whether you encounter an enemy or are... trapped, not eating or drinking for ten days can increase your chances of winning a little bit.
He had no idea about this on Qiyun Peak. On Qiyun Peak, all the mortal servants had a lot of tea and food, and they had roast geese and fine wine. Who knew the pros and cons of the word "famine", and taking Bigu Pill was also to save time. The only reason why I devote all my mind to cultivation is that when I went down the mountain, I saw ordinary government officials using hungry rice as a method to torture prisoners. This time on the way, I also saw merchants chewing dry hard pancakes in the car in order to rush on the road. I had an impression, so I used it this time.
Then, he avoided the main road and found a small river. He broke up the yellow buns he had hidden the day before and threw them into the river to worship the water god. A bunch of fresh fish came out of the water.
He put the fish in a basket, covered it with a lotus leaf, pretended to be a kid going to the city to sell fish, and entered the city gate with the crowd.
As soon as he entered the city gate, he gasped!
If the inns three miles outside the city are lined with white flags, which look like a mourning family performing rituals from a close distance, and like catkins floating in the willow forest from a distance, then this is the world of white flags - this is recorded on the jade slip given to him by the ancestor. You can no longer see the "most houses are decorated with three colors, and many are decorated with colorful silk fabrics in front of restaurants". All buildings, from top to bottom, are covered with layers of white flags, and the pupilless eyes on those white flags are also invisible. It was definitely not as big as the name of the store, but a pupil-less eye that completely occupied a white flag. Looking at a house on the roadside, what he could see was almost the same as the wall he saw in the inn hall before! Densely packed pupilless eyes! No, it’s even weirder than that!
Because no matter how the pupilless eyes painted on the wall look like they are flowing, they are still painted with ordinary charcoal gray on ordinary white walls. It is only when Xiao Rushi looks at it intently that she can faintly feel it. Sense of flow.
The white flags here are different, because they are covered layer by layer, so whenever the wind blows, those pupilless eyes fly up, revealing more pupilless eyes underneath, like...
Flies covered the corpse. When someone came, they flew up one layer, and there was another layer below. Only when they were all driven away could you see the carrion at the bottom.
Xiao Rushi quickly calmed down and turned her eyes elsewhere.
The situation elsewhere was the same. The difference was only in the size of the houses, but not in the number of white flags. Xiao Rushi could see that the corners of some houses had water seepage and moss growing on them. Compared with the large houses with water-polished blue bricks next to them, there were more white flags and higher heights. . Because almost every house is covered with white flags, those simple and narrow houses look taller than their originally imposing neighbors by erecting taller white flags.
Between these white flags, the city residents who came in and out all looked pale, walked slowly and slowly, and looked very lifeless. But it was no wonder that they were there. Even the sun in the city seemed to be paler than elsewhere due to the obstruction of these white flags. .
Xiao Rushi looked around. What he wanted to do was to go to the most prosperous and lively place in the city. There were not only government offices there, but also families most likely related to the local immortal family. If he wanted to visit the local immortal family, he obviously couldn't. Hope to bump into someone like Xiao Qianqiu in a remote hotel.
But when he walked to the street, he didn't see more people than in the alley. Even the green and white stone strips paved by the wheels had been crushed into deep ravines by the thoroughfare. On both sides, there were some taller buildings than elsewhere. Just looking at these houses, it is not difficult to imagine how lively they must have been in the past. Today, when I look at them, there are no children on the road. There are only two or three ghost-like people walking slowly, and they don’t know where they are. People who were shopping for goods were out of their minds and took to the streets when others were unprepared. When Xiao Rushi saw this, two words "epidemic area" that he had read a long time ago and had long forgotten popped up in his mind.
He turned to the alley behind the main street, hoping to see some ordinary people there, but there were also white flags everywhere. Except for a few people kneeling in front of the white flags and kowtowing from time to time, he didn't see any more words than on the street.
While he was in distress, someone suddenly stopped him and wanted to buy the fish in his basket.
Xiao Rushi just pretended to bring one out. He didn't know how to sell fish, so he simply pretended to be mute and kept talking, not intending to bargain.
But he just brought out a fish. The fish suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a blue-black finger.
Of course, those are human fingers.
