Chapter 530 Yongning Village
This village should be Yongning Village.
Anyang stared for a moment, then walked towards the village.
Walking along a road by the river, gradually approaching the village, the faint aroma of food spreads into the nose.
"Looks like it's dinner time."
Anyang looked at the smoke from the sky, which was long and straight up because of the lack of wind. It was light blue and gray, which added a touch of color to the cloudless sky background, making it less monotonous and boring.
Even though it was time for dinner, there were still people working in the fields outside the village.
The hoe swung rhythmically, raised high, and the shovel made a slight sound in the soil, like the swing of a mechanical clock, which spread far and wide in this quiet place where only birds and dogs barked.
There are people coming and going in the village, and a lot of laughter can be heard when approaching.
A peaceful one.
But Anyang frowned involuntarily when he walked past a villager.
He felt that the villager had a strange aura. It was not the demonic energy of the Shenzhou world, nor did it seem to be an additional product of cultivating some strange power, but it was very different from humans, like another species.
Sure enough, there are no people in this village!
Except for the male protagonist Song Tianyin and his grandmother, everyone is pretending to be a demon!
It's just that these monsters don't eat people, and they don't harm people. They have lived in seclusion here for many years. Very few people from the outside come to disturb them, and no one will find out that they are monsters. .
Since humans started a war with demons in order to rule the earth many years ago, after the demons were defeated, they hid in the deep mountain demon world.
It's like a haven for them.
In this era, the demons in the world have almost disappeared, and many ordinary people have forgotten the existence of demons. Only the dignitaries will treat demons as delicacies and bring them to the table, but they have also forgotten the horror of demons.
Anyang shook his head and walked into the village without thinking much.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he found that the villagers here seemed to be doing their own thing, but they were all paying attention to him.
Obviously, not many strangers came to the village.
They are also afraid of being discovered and their identities exposed, which will lead to disasters, so they are secretly vigilant.
Anyang looked calm and walked in the village.
But this quiet calmness made the sensitive villagers even more vigilant, and some people even hid in the house.
Before long, a lame boy came up to him.
Anyang stopped.
This young man had a wooden frame tied to one leg, and was about 1.8 meters tall, which was considered very tall among the ancients. He was wearing a very simple burlap coat. He was thin but not upright. Stacked with bright smiles.
"This one, where did you come from?"
"Shuntian House."
"It's so far away, you must be tired from coming from a long distance."
"Yeah, I'm a little hungry and thirsty. I don't know if there is a place to eat here recently."
The young man's smile became brighter, revealing a set of white and neat teeth: "It's a coincidence, let me introduce myself, my name is Song Tianyin, and I'm the chief of security here. My family just opened a teahouse, right in front!"
Anyang nodded lightly and said, "That's a coincidence, lead the way, and I'll try your craftsmanship too."
"Okay, let me tell you, you have a good taste, people who have tasted my craft, really can't say anything bad! Don't think I'm a little lame, but cooking is my third ideal job , do you know what the second one is?"
"Let's lead the way."
"Uh... ok!"
Anyang followed him all the way.
Along the way, Song Tianyin collected a total of ten pieces of torn clothes, all of which he had to mend.
He seems to have no deterrent as a security guard.
The background of Monster Hunt is largely based on ancient Chinese uniforms. The most notable point is the capital Shuntianfu, and Baochang is also a means of social control that lasted for a long time in ancient Chinese feudal dynasties.
Called the Baojia system.
The most basic feature of the Baojia system is that the "household" is the basic unit of social organization, which is different from the Western system of ruling the commoners with individuals as the unit, and the system of each dynasty is also different.
In the Han Dynasty, five households were in the army, ten households were why, and a hundred households were in the li;
In the Tang Dynasty, four households were neighbors, five neighbors were security, and one hundred households were li;
In the Northern Song Dynasty, ten households were one guarantee, five guarantees were one big guarantee, and ten ten guarantees were one capital guarantee;
The Yuan Dynasty reappeared", taking twenty households as one Jia, and setting Jiasheng, similar to Baochang.
In the Qing Dynasty, a card armor system that was very similar to the ten-digit Baojia system in the Republic of China was formed. That is, with ten households as one card, ten cards as one armor, and ten armors as one security, the feudal dynasty's strict control over the whole country was established.
From the name of Shuntianfu, it can be seen that the background here should refer to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Therefore, the lame Song Tianyin is still the head of a thousand households, and even with reference to the Republic of China, he is also a head of a hundred households, but for this village with a small population, it is estimated that he is a village head, or a village head who is bullied.
How can there be Wang Baochang's majesty...
Cough, far away.
Lest Wang Baochang's TV series reveal the author's age.
Anyang walked all the way into the tea house opened by Song Tianyin's family.
It is said to be a teahouse, but it is actually very simple. There is only one house with very rough workmanship, and it has no solidity. If there is a battle, it is estimated that heavy cavalry can knock it down, and the window will be ventilated.
Anyang looked around and was surprised that the house could stand for so many years without falling down.
At least it was passed down from Grandpa Song Tianyin, right?
"Sit whatever you want, you're welcome!"
Song Tianyin's clean voice came from his ears.
Anyang found a place to sit down and asked, "Do you have a menu here?"
Song Tianyin's white smile suddenly stiffened, and he rubbed his head and said, "No, there are not many customers. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you, to ensure that it suits your appetite!"
Anyang thought for a while: "I heard that the duck blood cake here is pretty good, give me one, and then come with two side dishes. You can serve a little of the main food, and you don't have to pay attention to walking outside."
Song Tianyin nodded immediately and turned to leave.
Anyang then began to look at the surrounding environment.
Some of the walls are piled with earth and stones, and some of them are still covered with grass. They are tattered. Dirty rags block the holes. There are several empty jars piled on one shelf, and garlic, pumpkin, pepper, etc. are placed on the other wall. .
Through the opened windows lined with firewood, you can see the outside scenery, the low mushroom-like houses, a cobblestone-paved path across the village, the sunshine is warm, and there is a bit of Western fantasy.
It didn't take long for the dishes to arrive.
The duck blood cake is black and cut into a cube, and it is mounted with a piece of wood and is padded with a large leaf.
A green pepper meat slice, a cold cucumber strip.
The main dish is a bowl of noodles. The noodles are very thin, similar to those of vermicelli. It is served in a bowl that is buckled out of a tree root. The bowl mouth and walls of the bowl are very irregular and smooth, which is quite strange.
Anyang tasted it, and it actually tasted good.
This made him involuntarily think—
Is it because Huo Xiaolan, the demon catching master in the plot, praised it well...
Immediately, he picked up a piece of thin noodles and snorted it into his mouth to eat, sometimes eating a small dish, sometimes tasting two dark duck blood cakes, although he ate when he left, but Still ate it.
"Well, not bad!" Anyang put down the bowl in admiration, "Well, what do you use to settle the bill here?"
"Benefit twelve pennies."
"Is silver okay?"
Anyang turned his hand and took out a piece of broken silver.
Song Tianyin was immediately stunned: "This...this is too much!"
...
After eating, Anyang was tired and didn't want to hurry, so he rested here, and under the silver offensive, he unceremoniously occupied Song Tianyin's room and let the young man sleep on the wooden table.
It is said to be a bed, but it is actually a piece of wood.
People who walk in the rivers and lakes should not be particular about it, and Anyang also rested in peace.
The plot of Monster Hunt is mainly about the civil strife in the demon world, the old demon king was killed, the new demon king became emperor, and in order to consolidate his dominance, he began to massacre the former officials loyal to the old demon king.
It is probably no different from the change of dynasty in the world.
There is a rumor in the demon world that when the little demon king is born, it can subvert the status of humans and demons, but the new demon king obviously doesn't want to see the remnants of the old demon king still alive in the world, so he sends killer blood demons to hunt down the demon queen.
This is where the plot unfolds!
It's very domineering, but the picture of the movie is too cute.
The director used to do animation...
Under the escort of the escort, the demon queen successfully met the male protagonist and parasitized the demon egg in Song Tianyin's stomach. Song Tianyin also met Huo Xiaolan, a demon hunter who was similar to a bounty hunter. The two wanted to sell the little demon king. With a good price, Song Tianyin had to go to Shuntian Mansion with a big belly to "deliver" together under the protection of Huo Xiaolan.
On the way, the little demon king Huba was born successfully, and the two gradually developed a relationship, and also developed a relationship with Huba, but this relationship was not discovered until they sold Huba, and the two couldn't help regretting it.
In the process of rescuing Huba, they discovered the demon's shocking conspiracy.
That's about it, a light-hearted and funny fantasy journey that caters to children, with men, women and pets.
But in fact, this film is based on a story in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai" - "The House Demon", but the director turned the demon into a cute kawaii thing with high energy throughout the whole process. Fortunately, the system was saved a little.
Anyang was somewhat interested in the Celestial Master here.
The era when humans and monsters coexisted was not bad, but the monsters here were not animals and plants cultivated into spirits, but a kind of creature different from humans. They were born to live on this land and were born to be monsters.
These demons also have some "spells", but they are too primitive for spells.
They can also "change" into adults, but they just put on human skins and then change their body shape to disguise themselves as adults. At most, it can only be regarded as an extremely clever camouflage technique, which is too different from transformation.
The means are quite different from the world of monasticism.
Simply put, this demon is not another demon.
The demon here is another kind of intelligent creature, and it is not the same kind as the fairies who have been transformed into Tao.
