Chapter 332 [Treasure]
Facing the diner’s continuous questions, Fang Chang smiled and said:
"My surname is Fang. I'm just a scattered person in Yunzhong Mountain in the west. I just happened to pass by here today."
As for how he found out that the other party was not an ordinary person, Fang Chang didn't say, and the other party didn't ask.
The one opposite Fang Chang is a monster.
Although the other party concealed it very well, there were still many traces left behind, and there was a faint evil spirit, which did not escape Fang Chang's gaze. The most important thing is that ordinary people don't know how to eat salt like this. After all, no matter how heavy their mouth is, they can't eat refined salt as a dish.
Arranging a soundproof barrier beside him, Fang Chang continued to smile and asked:
"Did you come from the water? The East China Sea?"
"Yes." The other party gradually relaxed a little bit. Seeing that Fang Chang didn't have much extra meaning, he replied honestly: "I was born in the East China Sea. I have lived on land for many years and changed four or five places. .It’s just that nature is hard to change. If you eat less salt, you will feel uncomfortable, so you often make up for it during meals.”
Then he confessed his background, but he was a hairtail spirit who had been a demon for many years. After taking shape, I heard that the world is prosperous, so I came to have a look. "Everything is good on land, but the water is too fresh, which makes people uncomfortable." Hairtail said.
The other party's surname is Dai, and his first name is deep, and he got the name at will. The two parties meet again, which is regarded as acquaintance.
During the conversation, Fang Chang learned that Dai Shen didn't have much contact with the monsters on land, let alone participated in their organizations and activities. But it is because the goblins on the road and in the sea lack a common language, whether it is habits or conversation, they can't get together.
"I am preparing to go to the East China Sea." Fang Chang said.
"Donghai..." Dai Shenfu ate a few more mouthfuls of dishes with enough salt, and sighed, "During the time I just transformed, I visited the islands in the East China Sea for a long time, and I was still living in a few small islands. Pass."
"How does it feel?"
"It's as far away as the Central Plains." Hairtail said, "When you come to the Central Plains, you will know that there is such a prosperous place in the world. In comparison, the island's products are single and barren, and there are often wind and rain disasters. The transportation and information in various places are even worse. inconvenient."
Fang Chang nodded, only to hear Dai Shen continue:
"If it is really compared, the humans on the island are not even as comfortable as the big forces of the underwater aquarium."
"Oh?" Fang Chang asked in surprise, "There are still demon forces in the water?"
"That's natural, and it's been quite a while." Dai Shen mentioned this point with a little pride, "there are many creatures in the sea, far more than the land. Although it is difficult for the scales to transform into spirits, the base is sufficient, and the number of creatures will grow over the years. There are many monsters."
"I don't know how many years ago, there were a few big monsters with high levels of cultivation, helped each other, built several water palaces, and then recruited people and recruited heroes, and they became several forces. Later, the big monsters who created the power, After all, the lifespan was exhausted and passed away, but these forces did not dissipate after all, and the leaders slowly rotated, but they became more and more prosperous."
"Monsters are not like human beings. Wisdom is not born with wisdom, but depends on luck to open up the spirit, so inheritance is difficult and unstable. There are many monsters with various forces in these places, and they are very precious places. For the monsters in the sea, if there is a problem with their practice, they must choose one side to join in order to have a chance to follow the path. It’s just that the sea is vast, and we have little contact with the monsters on land, so little is known about it.”
Fang Chang nodded again and again, he removed the soundproof barrier, called the shop assistant, added a few more dishes to this hairtail essence, and paid for it. After more dishes were served, Fang Chang added the soundproof restriction again.
"Thank you." Hairtail thanked Fang Chang and asked, "Are you worried about encountering danger in the sea? Don't worry, you can do this."
"Please bring this thing with you. This is the symbol of the power I belong to. Although this identity token is not uncommon, it will be very convenient when walking in the sea."
"That's disrespectful, it really comes in handy."
Fang Chang smiled, then took the shell and put it on his body.
The two chatted for a long time, until the food on the table was empty and the snow stopped falling outside the window.
Before leaving, Fang Chang suddenly said to the hairtail spirit: "I think your cultivation seems to be a bit of a bottleneck? When you have time, why don't you go back to the East China Sea to have a look, there may be opportunities there."
Bai Yujing had some eyesight. He had seen that Fang Chang was quite extraordinary before. Hearing this, he was immediately terrified, and quickly remembered it in his heart.
The warm sun outside the door hangs in the sky again, and the wind also listens.
It wasn’t cold when it snowed, and people who hid at home before gradually appeared on the street. The most joyful ones are the children, they call each other and play in the snow. Just frightened by the deterrent power of bamboo boards and slaps from parents, I dare not play too crazy, for fear of staining my clothes and going back to suffer.
He went straight out of town, all the way east.
The snow that covered the earth and mountains and rivers, after being irradiated by the sun, reflected the sky and the earth very white, even more pure than the white clothes on Fang Chang's body.
...
From Quang Binh to the east, there is still a long distance to Chaoyun Port.
Fang Chang had walked this road before, but he never went to sea in Chaoyun Port.
Although the weather was a bit cold, after tens of miles away from Quang Binh, there was no trace of snowflakes on the ground, only dry land and fields without any life left.
The catastrophe of heaven and earth has affected this place, and there are obvious traces of military disasters in many places.
Fortunately, the people lived tenaciously. After the disaster, those who escaped returned to their hometowns and continued to live. It's just that the prosperity is no longer there, it is devastated, and the population is much smaller. There is a food shortage problem in many places, and even the seeds for the second year are not available.
Fortunately, there was a crop called sweet potato, which was popularized by people. It grows fast, has a good yield, does not choose soil fertility and seasons, and the most important thing is that the stems and leaves that climb the wrist can also satisfy hunger, so that the people can survive. After this period of post-disaster slump, many people were saved.
Fang Chang did not encounter bandits or warlords during his journey, but encountered a rebel army heading north more than a hundred miles away from Chaoyun Port.
This is also the first time he saw the appearance of the rebel army. Before that, he only had a glimpse between the lines on the paper airplane when he was communicating with the two protagonists of the great catastrophe.
The surrounding people heard that they were going to go to the army, and most of them had already fled without a trace. After all, the old adage that bandits are like combing soldiers is like a grate has always been heard, and the damage caused by those people carrying knives to the surrounding area is still vivid, so escape is the main theme.
On the contrary, those few people who did not have time to run away, and those old people who were too old and would rather live with their families than run away, were surprised to find that this army did not disturb the people, but just marched in silence. Ask for more saliva to drink and go away again.
Fang Chang stood on the side of the road, watching this team with high morale and neat pace, carrying sabers, sticks and guns, forming a long line from a distance, rumbling past.
Although there are currently no crops in the field, they still march along the ridges habitually.
