The young man who blocked the road came and went suddenly. Those who had not paid any money were shouting for joy, while those who had paid them were beating their chests and feet.
Without him, the young man threw away the sign in his hand when he used the escape method to leave, but the money he took away was well collected and disappeared with him.
After Chen Luo's sense of crisis dissipated, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
It was related to the demonic energy from outside, which made him feel in danger, and he actually blocked the road and robbed someone.
And the price is clearly marked: twelve taels per person!
What's going on?
Is there a slight price drop?
Isn't this just the boss of a listed company setting up a street stall?
eccentric!
However, others are accustomed to roadblocks. Soon the official road became smooth again, and Chen Luo also sat back in the carriage, putting the matter in his heart for the time being.
He knew that he and the other party would still have the day to meet.
…
After experiencing the road blockage incident and a long day's journey, Chen Luo finally arrived at the capital of Sizhu Kingdom: the three main cities. Ever since the demon clan learned how to build cities from the humans, they have discovered that the posture of the human body is most suitable for living in such a city. Otherwise, a family of elephant demons would have to build a palace to live in it.
Can't afford it.
Moreover, under the tireless teachings of the great scholars of the human race, most demon clans also understand the word "shame", so they admire the rich and beautiful clothes of the human race even more, but those clothes are all designed with the human body as a model.
Therefore, in all major demon cities, demons exist in human form. Some of them directly transformed into human forms, which of course did not change some of the characteristics of the monsters, such as cat ears, rabbit tails, etc. Others simply transformed their bodies into human forms, but still maintained their animal heads.
After walking through the gates of the three main cities and watching two tauren walking past him carrying big axes, Chen Luo almost blurted out "for the tribe".
Just after passing through the city gate, the bustling city scene unfolded before Chen Luo's eyes, but Chen Luo's pupils shrank and his face was full of confusion: "What's going on?"
I saw all kinds of people and demons intermingling in the market, and the shouts of buying and selling were as loud as those in the big human cities. But if you look closely, you can see that there are many official uniforms among them.
The sixth-rank official was carrying a sedan, the fifth-rank official was selling fruit on the roadside, and the fourth-rank official in the restaurant was running the hall...
"Boy, this is your first time in the Southern Wilderness." Just when Chen Luo was stunned, a monster wearing a cassock, a mustache, and a tail trailing behind him glanced at Chen Luo contemptuously and said lightly.
"Exactly, how could the master tell?" Chen Luo nodded slightly, and his mustache snorted: "We are not a master. As soon as I saw your expression, I knew it was the first time I came to Southern Wilderness."
"Would you like me to give you some advice? Don't worry, it only costs ten taels of silver a day."
Jin Guagua squatted on Chen Luo's shoulder: "Qua! Gua! (It turns out to be a guide! Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf!)"
The "mustachio" frowned and said angrily: "You little frog, you are so unreasonable. Don't accuse the demon of innocence out of thin air. What do you mean by pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? I am a big-tailed wolf!"
As he spoke, he turned his head into a wolf beast.
Chen Luo laughed dumbly and didn't care. He threw out a silver ingot worth thirty taels and said, "Then tell me, how did you know that it was my first time to come to Southern Wilderness?"
The mustachioed big-tailed wolf reached out to take the silver ingot, shook it in his hand, immediately opened his mouth and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it with a gulp, then showed a bright smile, regained the appearance of a human face, and rubbed his hands back and forth. He rubbed his hands, twitching his mustache, and said in a flattering tone: "The magpie spirits in the sky are chirping, and the young master on the ground is laughing. The Tianzi guides in the three main cities are boasting and are happy to serve the young master."
Chen Luo was stunned. Is this a plan?
"Where did you put the money just now?" Chen Luo asked curiously.
"Sir, here's a little trick. We can't afford the storage magic weapon, so we just store things in our stomachs and spit them out when needed." Lang Kuakua explained quickly.
Chen Luo stepped inside and asked again: "Tell me, how do you know this is my first time coming to Southern Wilderness?"
"Because the young master looked confused when he saw them, that's what we guessed." Lang Kuakua quickly followed Chen Luo and pointed at a few monsters in official uniforms.
"Young master, I don't know. The demon tribe likes human clothes. Confucian shirts, Taoist robes, and cassocks. If you like it, you can wear it. There are so many taboos from the human race."
"The same goes for this official uniform. It looks majestic and is especially liked by the demon tribe. However, it is still somewhat different from the authentic official uniform of the human race, so the human race is too lazy to take care of it."
Chen Luo suddenly realized that he took a closer look at the official uniforms on those people. Sure enough, there were some differences. They were equivalent to the costumes on the stage.
"Interesting." Chen Luo said.
After understanding this layer of customs, Chen Luo added: "After two days of traveling, I'm a little hungry. Find a place to have a meal, and let's talk while eating."
Lang Kua Kua said quickly: "Okay. Don't worry, young master, I, Lang Kua Kua, will take people to dinner and will never rip off guests."
"Okay, okay, the price doesn't matter, as long as it tastes good." Chen Luo waved his hand, looking like he was rich. Lang Kua Kua was even more confident and led Chen Luo straight to a luxurious restaurant.
"Sir, it's not my boast. When we arrive in the Southern Wilderness, the most indispensable thing is delicacies from the mountains and wild game. Any restaurant here may have better food than the Emperor of the Human Race in Beijing."
"After all, it's all fresh."
With that said, Lang Kua Kua led Chen Luo in, and then ordered the waiter who came to receive him to open a private room by the window.
Chen Luo opened the menu and frowned slightly: "Stir-fried beef? Braised pig's trotters? Stir-fried raw rooster?"
He looked at Lang Kuaqua: "If you eat these in the Monster Clan, won't you get in trouble from your own clan?"
Lang Kua Kua smiled flatteringly: "Young master, whatever you say, these are all ingredients!"
"How can an unenlightened beast be considered a monster? To be honest, the owner of the largest pork farm in Sizhu Country is a fourth-grade wild boar spirit. However, members of the same species do not eat each other, and bird monsters do not eat eggs. These rules There are still some.”
After saying that, Lang Kua Kua lowered his voice and whispered: "If you want to eat the spirit beast, sir, as long as you can afford the price, we can help you contact him."
"Below level seven, as long as they are not of a special race, there will be no problem."
"If you, sir, want to be vegetarian, we also know a special vegetarian restaurant that specializes in growing spiritual herbs and spiritual plants. It will be a great supplement!"
"No, no, no." Chen Luo waved his hand and put down the menu, "Just call out a few dishes."
As soon as he finished speaking, a charming voice came into his ears——
"Sir, after you finish eating, do you want to come over and play?"
Chen Luo looked around and saw through the window of the elegant room that there was also an exquisite small building on the other side of the road. At this time, a window in the pavilion was opened, and two demon women were leaning on the window sill, smiling at him.
These two demon women, with half-undressed clothes and spring eyes, one is wearing red and the other is wearing a green skirt. The one in red has two pointed fox ears on her head, and the enchantress in green has choppy waves, pressing down and raising her snake tail from time to time.
Chen Luo instantly remembered the look between Lang Kua Kua and the waiter when he was about to leave. He glanced at Lang Kua Kua. Seeing that Lang Kua Kua was seen through by Chen Luo, he chuckled: "Young master, how can you come to the Southern Wasteland? Don’t play with the witch flavor of Southern Wilderness.”
"Don't worry, although Daxuan Lao has wild monsters that suck men's essence to practice instead of the sun essence and moonlight, this is absolutely not the case in our Southern Wilderness."
"You also know that the monster tribe is a little different from the human women, and they have more postures and tricks. Let's not exaggerate. Although the Fengya Building next door is not as famous as the fairyland in the dream of the monster tribe, it is definitely It also has its own characteristics.”
Before Chen Luo could say anything, the mute Mastiff Lingling, who had always been at ease as a housekeeper, suddenly snorted coldly: "How can you be worthy of serving my young master if you are a vulgar person?"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and instantly a gust of wind blew up, and he closed the window of the private room.
Lang Kua Kua's expression remained unchanged, and he quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, vulgarity, vulgarity, really can't catch the eyes of the young master. I also have a way to dream of the fairyland, do you want the young master..."
Chen Luo interrupted Lang Kua Kua and said, "I am here to participate in the Jingze Poetry Club this time. Please tell me about this."
Lang Kua Kua was stunned: "Master, are you going to participate in the Jingze Poetry Festival?"
Chen Luo nodded slightly.
Lang Kua Kua clapped his thigh quickly: "Oh, we thought the young master was just a playboy who went out to play, but it turns out he is a talented man from Wenhua Splendid."
"Tell the important point!"
"Okay!" Seeing that flattering was useless, Lang Kuagua quickly changed to the main topic, "It is said that the leaders of the Second Kingdom and the Lord of the Three Kingdoms have made breakthroughs this year, which is great joy for Si Zhu. Therefore, the rewards from the Jingze Poetry Society are unprecedentedly rich, attracting There are also many more demon clans participating than before. Therefore, a screening was added before the poetry meeting, called the Four Poems Pavilion."
"If you want to participate in the Jingze Poetry Festival, you must first pass the Four Poems Pavilion."
Chen Luo nodded: "Continue."
Lang Kua Kua continued: "Five miles south of the three main cities, there is Siting Mountain. The mountain is not high. It only takes about two hours for ordinary humans to climb up from the bottom to the top."
"As the name suggests, there are four pavilions in Siting Mountain from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Every time you reach a pavilion, you need to write a poem. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can finish it."
"There is a magic circle in the fourth pavilion. If the poem is finished and the poem is eminently elegant, the pearl on the fourth pavilion will flash, and the level will be cleared."
Jin Guagua's eyes blinked: "Gua? (What's the topic?)"
Lang Kua Kua explained: "This young master asked a good question. This question was randomly dropped at the first pavilion at the foot of the mountain. It is usually a famous saying of the human race through the ages."
"But..." Lang Kuagua glanced at Chen Luo and hesitated.
"But what?" Chen Luo said, putting another piece of silver on the table.
Lang Kua Kua's eyes lit up, and he swung his big tail unconsciously twice. He quickly stretched out his hand to grab the silver and swallowed it into his belly. Then he said: "Young Master, I don't know, there are so many people involved, so people who use small tricks can That’s a lot.”
"We heard that there are demons guarding the Four Poems Pavilion, interfering with other people's poetry writing, and trying to reduce competition. Especially..."
Speaking of this, Lang Kuagua paused, glanced at Chen Luo, and then continued: "Especially for a human race like Young Master."
"We heard that there were already more than a dozen human race students who were halfway through writing poems. Their vicious comments directly broke their literary thoughts and gave up participating."
"Young master, you can consider waiting a few days before going. We will organize a group for you then, and we will be more or less taken care of. Don't worry, young master, our family also has houses for rent, and we will definitely choose one that suits your needs."
Chen Luo smiled and waved his hand: "Let's eat first, then go to the Four Poems Pavilion after eating."
Lang Kua Kua frowned and wanted to persuade him again. The backpack on Jin Gua Gua's back shook and a golden bead flew out and landed in front of Lang Kua Kua.
"Quack! (Shut up!)"
