Chapter 978 Moonlight Treasure Box?
Anyang casually found a place to sit, then found a roadside vendor for breakfast, and set off on the road.
He wants to go to Luoyang first.
Anyang is going to buy a carriage in Luoyang first, and then walk along the official road to Wuxingshan. During this time, he studied the four gems in the carriage during the day, and practiced the ancient nerves at night, so as to experience this journey and time.
In fact, he can fly directly to Wuxingshan, but it is far away from Wuxingshan, far from what the kindergarten-level map in the movie can summarize. And Xuanzang had to go all the way from Luoyang in the middle of the Tang Empire to the Liangjie Mountain on the border, and it would undoubtedly take a long time. If he had arrived at the Wuxing Mountain long ago, he would have to wait there for Xuanzang for a long time.
How has this time been? Could it be that he went to pull out the lotus early and chatted with Sun Wukong for a drink?
And Anyang intuition, this journey will not be boring, if he directly flies to Liangjie Mountain, the charm and excitement of this world may be missed.
Anyang opened his eyes to the map and pursed his lips.
More than two thousand miles away.
If it is to walk, even if a person with great perseverance keeps walking all day without carrying a bag, it will take a month or two for seventy or eighty miles a day. According to this calculation, Xuanzang in the plot should not be purely on foot, otherwise he would have been caught up by the pig demon.
After staying in the city for a day and experiencing the prosperity of Luoyang, Anyang got on the carriage and went out of the city.
He used the imperial spirit technique and the puppet technique, and let the puppet control the horse to travel along the official road, heading to the northwest, while he sat in the carriage and took out the space gems to study.
His research on space gems has been quite in-depth, and he can start to create spells with just one step!
On the road, you can see officers and soldiers holding grain from time to time, and the fully loaded grain carts are squeaky on the ground. Usually, when this happens, Anyang will consciously pull over and stop.
After walking only a hundred miles, they encountered famine.
This is a slightly barren mountain village. Unlike fishing villages that rely on water for food, almost all food in this village comes from the land. However, the weather is not good this year, and the autumn harvest season has passed, and the food received is pitiful. , and even some unlucky farmers failed to harvest!
Even though the taxation was not heavy in the early years of Zhenguan, there were still many people who could not have enough to eat and lived on government alms.
Fortunately, I met the Tang Dynasty.
Changed the dynasty, it is estimated that the whole world is tragic!
But this time it was not because of the chaotic world of demons, but because of a general drought, a natural disaster.
As a result, burning incense candles and burnt paper ashes can be seen everywhere on the roadside, hanging rain cloths and simple altars made of mud. The front of the temple is even full of tributes, most of which are to beg for rain or to make the harvest of their land better.
Of course, new graves are also indispensable.
However, from the facts, it seems that God did not care for them, and never took their begging to heart. The drought will still be drought, and the disease caused by the famine is not a lot.
Whenever you enter the city, you can see countless people who pray to God and worship Buddha.
Interestingly, in the folk cognition of this era, the most powerful god of Taoism is not the Jade Emperor, but the Great Arctic Ziwei Emperor, and the Four Sacred North Pole is one of the gods with the most incense and worship, especially the Four Sacred North Pole. First - the incense of Marshal Tianpeng is the most prosperous, and there are even temples of the Tianpeng Grand Marshal Zhenjun everywhere.
Anyang didn't know what was going on!
Or what the hell is the system doing!
According to the original novel of Journey to the West, Marshal Tianpeng has been demoted for a long time at this time, and the pig demon that caused the chaos in GaoLaozhuang is the reincarnation of Marshal Tianpeng. But as far as the plot of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is concerned, the pig demon was a mortal in his previous life, and he had nothing to do with Marshal Tianpeng, a Taoist god who was highly respected in the mortal world at this time.
When we approached the Shaanxi-Qin Dynasty, the disaster situation was obviously much better, and it was probably inseparable from the fact that the central government was close to where the disaster relief efforts of the imperial court were even greater.
At this time, Anyang met someone.
It was dusk and the sky was dark. He found a dilapidated compound to live in, tied the carriage to the door, and set up a pot to cook something hot. Just as he was taking out Merlin's luncheon meat, he saw a strong man from The gate of the compound came in.
Anyang could see the extraordinaryness of this man at a glance.
Because although he was wearing a very ordinary cloth, he was wearing leather armor and wrist guards at key positions. He also had an aura that ordinary people did not have, and also had energy fluctuations.
This is a practitioner!
The man saw the carriage as soon as he walked in, and said in a cheerful dialect, "Yeah! There are still people inside!"
He walked in carelessly, saw Anyang, grinned and said, "Yo, you got here before me, but I can't do anything about it, I've already walked dozens of miles, and there's only this one on the side of the official road. The hospital is broken! How about we squeeze in for one night?"
Having said that, he has already walked in, and said again: "You look like a pure and innocent scholar, but you dare to travel alone, and you are not afraid of encountering bandits or being eaten by tigers?"
Anyang smiled slightly: "It's in Anyang."
"My surname is Liu, Liu Zhuangshi!" The sturdy man bowed his hands to him, "Don't worry, I'm a good person!"
Anyang smiled: "Meeting is also fate."
"Yeah, fate, fate!" Liu Zhuangshi didn't enter his room, but consciously chose another room in the compound, unloaded his luggage, looked at the empty door and broken windows, and raised his head again Looking at it, I was a little worried.
"This place doesn't block the wind or rain. The sun is very strange. It's only about one night!"
Anyang piled up firewood on the other side, filled the casserole with water, put down the three fresh soup ingredients, and ignited the firewood with one finger, and with another finger, the soup in the pot was boiling!
Only then did he start putting down beef, fat cattle, mutton, and luncheon meat, and placed a pot of spirits.
Unsurprisingly, Liu Zhuangshi walked to his door in a short time. There was no door, so he could see Anyang and the steaming pot at a glance, and swallowed, "What are you cooking? It's so fragrant... "
Anyang immediately greeted him warmly over to eat.
Liu Zhuangshi didn't hesitate and said, "Wait until I go to the river to wash my hands, bring the horse in, and come back!"
Soon, the two sat down to eat.
The hanging casserole was still boiling, and the golden oil and fresh soup in the pot continued to boil, emitting a fragrant and attractive heat. The pot is full of meat, various wild mushrooms and vegetables, some of which were brought by Anyang, some rare ingredients such as venison were brought by Liu Zhuangshi, and most of the wild mushrooms were just picked by him. , I don't know where to get so much!
This way of cooking and eating in the same pot is undoubtedly very atmospheric. The two of them are not restrained and twisted.
When he learned that Liu Zhuangshi was the descendant of Wuxingquan and was one of the best exorcists in the whole central region, Anyang suddenly realized.
He is the exorcist who used tiger-shaped fists and mantis fists to run away the pig demon in the plot. Together with Young Master Kongkong and Tianzujie, he is the top exorcist in the central region. In the end, he was pushed to the ground by the latter for provoking Sun Wukong. Bite to death!
Unsurprisingly, his trip should be to go to Henan County to subdue the pig demon!
In the plot of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Gaolaozhuang seems to be a tavern, a place for travelers to rest and eat, and it is located in Luoyang. This is quite different from the original work of "Journey to the West". Gaolaozhuang in "Journey to the West" is a place name, and its location is far away in Wusi Zang, that is, Tibet.
Of course, the geographical names of places in Journey to the West cannot be completely compared with reality, after all, they are in the four continents.
Before waiting for Anyang to ask, Liu Zhuangshi admitted it himself: "Hey, you came from Luoyang, you have heard that there is a place called Gao Lao Zhuang, where a lot of people died, and there was a pig demon there. Pretty vicious."
"heard about it."
"Oh? You've really heard of it, then the movement of this pig monster is really big enough. You outsiders actually know it. No wonder the bounty is so high. It is estimated that the imperial court can't bear it!" Liu Zhuang Zhuang took a piece of meat and put it into his mouth, "What kind of meat is this meat, it's really fucking delicious, I've eaten all kinds of meat, but I've never eaten this kind of meat!"
"It's called a fat cow."
"Fat cow? What kind of cow is this?" Liu Zhuangshi was taken aback.
"It's not a cow, it's a beef."
"Where's the meat from?"
"this……"
Anyang is really at a loss for words.
The fat cows that ordinary people eat are all processed by machinery. The original purpose was to imitate snowflake beef or T-bone ribs, but Anyang eats completely natural snowflake beef produced from Matsusaka cattle in Japan, which is more fat than mechanically processed beef. Cattle are better, the disadvantage is that it is very expensive and difficult to produce, requiring high-cost breeding technology.
As for where the meat is, it should be the eye meat in the middle of the spine.
But if he told Liu Zhuangshi like this, I am afraid that Liu Zhuangshi could not find this piece of meat after killing a hundred cows, especially the cows in our country don't grow this kind of half-fat and half-lean meat at all.
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Liu Zhuangshi only smiled honestly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you are a scholar, it's normal to not know this, my family used to have a younger brother who studied, and even peanuts were born in the soil. ,Hahaha!"
"Can your brother get a reputation?"
"I have a fart, I'm in my thirties, and I don't have a daughter-in-law. I have to rely on my family to support it, like a waste!" Liu Zhuangshi realized that something was wrong after he finished speaking, and looked at Anyang embarrassedly, "You are as handsome and handsome as brother. A person with extraordinary bearing is not born in a wealthy family, but also is definitely a literary star, and he will definitely be admitted to the top spot in the next autumn."
"Qiu Wei is a township test, and I will try **."
"Cough, cough, cough."
"Brother Zhuangshi has a family?"
"It's done, and there is a child, four years old."
"Oh, there are children!" Anyang suddenly remembered the scene where Liu Zhuangshi was bitten to death by Sun Wukong in the movie, but it had little to do with him, so he smiled and said, "Brother Zhuangshi left his wife and ran all the way, it's not easy. what!"
"No way, life is compelled, and the world is threatening! The bounty of the pig demon is high, enough for my family to eat for three years, and if I win it, I will become the number one exorcist in the central region. The wife and children are on the kang head!" Liu Zhuangshi still spoke in an accent that Anyang couldn't even hear, "And it is said that there is a magical tool in Henan County, and I also want to see it and see if I can get it!"
"Artifact?"
"I told you that you don't understand!"
"Appreciate further details."
"It seems to be called... Moonlight Treasure Box, which can travel to the past and the future. I had a child before, who fell into the river while I was taking a nap and drowned..."
Afterwards, Liu Zhuangshi said that Anyang couldn't hear clearly, and just stared at him with a stunned expression, the words "Moonlight Treasure Box" echoed in his head, and he felt a pain in the ass.
Moonlight Treasure Box?
This thing also crossed?
And such an incredible thing, there are so many things that violate, how can the system allow it to exist?
Anyang subconsciously thought it was a rumor, but he couldn't help but want to find out.
Afterwards, he chatted with Liu Zhuangshi while eating meat. The two chatted a lot. The drunk Liu Zhuangshi told him everything, starting from the cultivators who supported the King Qin and the Prince in the Xuanwumen mutiny, to secretly giving him Gaozu used spiritual magic to force him to abdicate as soon as possible to the staff of the King Qin who was finally beheaded by the King of Qin, and then to the Ziyiwei, known as the deadly Yamen formed by Tang Taizong after he ascended the throne, the strange methods of the Turkic masters on the frontier battlefield...
There are also rumors on the rivers and lakes, the gods and gods Buddha who have not appeared for a long time, the master known as the first practitioner, the empty son of the first exorcist in the middle, the three-life stone, the yellow spring water...
In the evening, Liu Zhuangshi did not leave, but slept in his room with a fire against the wall and snored all night.
The next day, the two separated.
Liu Zhuangshi continued to Luoyang.
Anyang crossed the boundary and entered Shaanxi and Qin.
