Chapter 671 Bintie City
The wheels covered with a layer of iron rolled slowly, leaving two deep wheel marks on the withered yellow grass.
Li Huowang, who was sitting on the carriage, looked at the grass in front of him and recalled in his mind the last time he came to this place.
Li Huowang actually didn't know much about Qingqiu. Apart from knowing that most of the people in this place were nomadic tribes and that the people here were lean and dark, he didn't know much about anything else.
By the way, he still remembered two very special sects in Qingqiu, the Bardo Temple that worshiped death, and the weird Lion Dance Palace.
"The grass in Qingqiu is really yellow. Does this mean something?" Li Huowang tilted his body slightly to the left and traced his fingers across the yellow grass.
Then he remembered the natural disaster not long ago. The natural disaster that caused the loss of taste and smell lasted only three days and then disappeared.
This is not something to be happy about. This natural disaster is insignificant, but what if the next natural disaster is a very serious natural disaster?
Li Huowang wanted to find out what was going on, but unless he went to Bai Yujing now, no one would know what happened in the outer world.
At this moment, with his excellent eyesight, he saw a small black dot appear on the yellow horizon in the distance.
As the carriage approached, the small black spot gradually grew larger, finally showing the outline of a city, and it also gradually grew larger as they approached.
"Is this Bintie City in Qingqiu?" Li Huowang muttered to himself as he looked over there.
He made some preparations before coming. This is the only city in Qingqiu, and it is also the capital of Qingqiu.
In a place like Qingqiu where there is no wood or stone, it is almost impossible to build a town, except for this Iron City, which was built abruptly in an empty place without any material.
The powerful Khan of Qingqiu lived there, and Qingqiu's Supervisor Tiansi was also located here.
Now that Hou Shu is fighting against Fa Jiao, I'm afraid it won't work if I rush into Hou Shu and kill Fa Jiao when I see him.
Not only is this ineffective, but it is also easy to alert others. In the end, except for some common people, not a single one of the core members of the Dharma teachings will die.
Rather than that, it would be better to contact Qingqiu's Supervisor Tiansi first to see if we can get more information from them.
Moreover, the Imperial Master also said before that Si Tianjian from Daliang and Si Tianjian from Siqi should both be here.
Just as Li Huowang was thinking about all this, the special smell of sheep and horse manure gradually entered his nose.
Perhaps because Qingqiu is a suitable place for farming, there is cow and horse dung everywhere around Bintie City. There are piles here and there in the loose turf that has been chewed. Among them were not only livestock, but also many people.
When he saw that the wheels of the cart rolled over a pile of fresh cow dung, and there was a lot of green and brown soft material stuck to the wheels, Bai Lingmiao couldn't help but frowned, "This place is so dirty, it's even as dirty as Anci'an." ”
"Let's deal with it. You can tell from a glance that there is no sewer in this place." Li Huowang said, shaking the reins slightly. The carriage quickened its pace and rushed toward the city.
After walking among various cattle, sheep and horses, Li Huowang and the others finally squeezed into the city. Compared with the outside of the city, the inside of the city was not much better.
There are all kinds of buildings inside, including tents, wooden houses, and stone houses, all arranged in a messy manner without any planning.
Moreover, under the constant pressure of human feet, cow dung and sheep dung turned into a dense black carpet of dung, just like the stone bricks in Daliang City, covering the entire road.
The street is very crowded, with people sitting next to each other. If you only count people, there aren't many people. But basically, as long as people in this city can move, they have at least one animal next to them, so it seems extremely crowded. .
As for how bad the smell is, you can completely imagine it when you look at the naked kid next to you squatting on the street to defecate.
"Let's go in! The inner city circle should be better!"
The carriage team slowly moved in, and everyone's expressions, which were extremely ugly just now, gradually became less ugly as time went by.
It's not that the environment is better, it's just that their noses have adapted.
"Dad, what is that?" Li Sui asked, pointing to the white ornately decorated building built against the city wall in the distance.
The building was huge, and could be said to be the largest in the entire Bintie City, but it was obvious that it did not look like a royal building.
From here, Li Huowang could tell that in Qingqiu, the so-called Great Khan was probably not the highest status person, and there were some people with higher status than him.
"That should be a temple, right?" Li Huowang guessed when he saw the tall spire that anything in Qingqiu could be called a temple, and he couldn't help but think of the Zhongyin Temple.
Li Huowang glanced around and saw some lamas in the crowd wearing black sheepskins and cock-combed monk hats.
Without exception, these lamas are all old people, and they all seem to be the kind of haggard old people who are on the verge of death, with dark age spots covering their bodies like psoriasis.
Looking at some bone pendants on their bodies, Li Huowang tightened his grip on the reins and shook them slightly to make them go faster.
Although the capital of a country is a bit dirty, its vigilance is not lax at all.
Before Li Huowang and others could get close to the imperial city, they were surrounded by light cavalry carrying bows on their backs, swords in their hands, and mastiffs on their shoulders.
Li Huowang didn't bother to talk nonsense to them, so as to avoid the language barrier, he directly threw his badge of Supervisor Tiansi over. "Is Xuan Ma here? Just say I'm coming!"
Li Huowang was not taken to see Xuan Mi, but was taken underground through a tunnel.
Although this Bintie City looks extremely dirty from the outside, who would have thought that there is actually a clean inner city underneath the filth. For some reason, all the Supervisors are underground.
The sheep oil lamp hanging on the wall burned slowly and made a crackling sound. Li Huowang looked at the strange woman in front of him and remained silent.
Li Huowang didn't see where the other party came from. He had seen many weird people, but his face was covered with white powder, and various weird patterns were drawn in red on the white powder. This was really his first time spying. .
What's even more special is that this Qingqiu woman is very revealingly dressed. Except for the necessary places, which are covered with cloth, other places are exposed, and various special patterns are used to draw complex and dense flower patterns.
Behind her, stood a row of people wearing large bamboo hats. Those bamboo hats were so big that they almost covered the person's body, leaving only two legs.
These people stood there silently, adding a touch of eerieness to the dim environment.
"Why are you looking for Daliang Si Tianjian?" The woman asked Li Huowang coldly,
"Let the qualified ones come over. You are not qualified." Li Huowang, who was too lazy to waste time, asked her bluntly.
However, what the other party said was beyond Li Huowang's expectations. "I am Qingqiu Si Tianjian, am I qualified now?"
