"I see."
Luo Ziying nodded, and her little brother next to her began to ask again:
"The suzerain, after we exorcise the ghosts in this land, will you punish the royal family of the Hong Zhou Kingdom?"
"What punishment?"
Jiang Li shook his head and said:
"What do you think we are? We are not high above the gods, but just a practitioner."
He looked at the little boy, and then said to him in a serious tone:
"Remember, why don't our cultivators in the Taoist court advocate intervening in the turmoil between mortal countries in the world? If you can see what kind of life people in the secular world really want, if you act rashly and wantonly interfere with their affairs according to your own preferences, it might make the situation worse, understand?"
After hearing Jiang Li's lesson, although the little boy didn't seem to understand the meaning of Jiang Li's words, he nodded seriously and replied:
"Disciple remember."
Jiang Li didn't care whether the disciple understood what he meant, anyway, after they dealt with the evil spirits in Hong Zhou Kingdom, they would see the effect naturally.
The reason why the citizens of the Red Zhou Kingdom have not yet become refugees and fled to other countries is that apart from the restrictions imposed by the Hong Zhou Kingdom's court itself, another important reason is that it is more dangerous in the wild.
Although the Red Zhou Kingdom is not big, it is still a country. It is unrealistic for a mortal to run directly out of the country from the city within a day. If a mortal wants to leave the Red Zhou Kingdom, he must sleep in the wild for several days. At night, according to the current situation in the Hongzhou country, sleeping in the wild is a dead end.
Not much to say, Jiang Li continued to lead his disciples to the nearest town of the Red Zhou Kingdom, which was still more than a hundred miles away. According to the logic, ordinary mortals could not get together in one day. It's such a long journey, let alone a mountain road, but Jiang Li and his group are the most talented people in the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if they don't use the sword to fly, but only use their legs to travel, they can travel much faster than ordinary people.
Along the way, the people of Mingyue Sect really felt the treachery of this country. The environment here is completely different from other countries. Even the forests and mountains that should be full of natural atmosphere, for some reason, make people feel strange during the day. spooky.
When they just came out of the mountain pass, everyone met a group of strange dart escorts. Although each of these people seemed normal, the dart they escorted looked like a coffin.
"It's really evil, this country."
Watching the group of guards who were not looking sideways away and disappearing on the mountain road, Luo Ziying couldn't help muttering.
"Ah, it's really good...cough, it's too evil."
When Luo Ziying looked over, Jiang Li put away his longing gaze, and said seriously:
"So for the sake of the people of the Red Zhou Kingdom, we need to get rid of these evil spirits, let's go, let's continue on our way, the town is nearby."
The group continued on the road, and finally at dusk, they saw the khaki-colored city walls of the town of Hongzhou.
Chapter 56 The Ghost Bride and Yizhuang
The small area of Hongzhou Kingdom, coupled with the peculiar environment in the wild, formed an extremely peculiar environment compared to other countries in the prosperous dynasty.
In this country, apart from the imperial city, there are only five towns, and none of them are very large, only equivalent to the size of a small or medium-sized city in the Great Court Empire.
And the citizens of Hong Zhou's country all live in these five towns.
There are Qi Refiners invited by the government to guard the city, but even so, the town is not absolutely safe, because there are fierce ghosts in the wild, even stronger than these Qi Refiners. Under their protection, these residents of the Red Zhou Kingdom would disappear every now and then, captured by ghosts and demons, and disappear into the town.
Generally speaking, the closer the residential area is to the government office in the center of the town, the safer it is, and the farther away from the government office, the more dangerous it is in the outer areas. Therefore, in order to seek a kind of psychological comfort, this group of Qi refiners The civilians under key protection also took action, and they spontaneously built high walls around them. Even though this kind of city wall that has not been blessed with magic has no effect on ghosts, under the protection of the high wall, this group of people People feel that their lives are more at ease.
The ecology caused by this distorted environment is also very strange to Jiang Li and the others. Outside the town of Hong Zhou Kingdom, it was still a deserted and dead scene, but when Jiang Li and others stepped over the dusty The rushing khaki city wall, after entering the interior of the town, what you see is a normal scene of a busy city in the world.
Although the number of people on the street is relatively small, it can be said that there are people coming and going, and the shops next to the street are also open as usual.
When Jiang Li and his group of people who looked like sect disciples walked into the gate of this town, they were noticed by the surrounding townspeople almost immediately, but Jiang Li didn't care about their gazes, it was natural He brought the disciples of Mingyue Sect into the town, replenished various resources, and then came to a restaurant in the town and had dinner.
When paying the bill, Jiang Li casually chatted with the shopkeeper of the restaurant to learn about the situation around the town.
"The treasurer."
When Jiang Li handed over the money, he asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant:
"Do you know the name of our city?"
The shopkeeper of this restaurant is a middle-aged man with a beard. Hearing this, he looked at Jiang Li with vacant eyes, and then asked hesitantly:
"Guest officer, are you from a foreign country?"
"Yes."
Jiang Li nodded.
"Then you have come to the wrong place."
The shopkeeper sighed, and continued:
"This place is called Zhou Town, and it used to be one of the best places in the Red Zhou Kingdom, but now it has become like this. Speaking of guest officers, you should have heard some rumors about our country when you come to us, right?"
"Well, I heard a little."
Jiang Li said with a smile:
"Actually, on the way here, we also met several groups of people who seemed unusual."
"Pit, spit."
Hearing Jiang Li's words, the shopkeeper spat a few times carefully, and then warned Jiang Li:
"That's all evil, evil, don't mention it again, guest officer."
"Sorry sorry."
Jiang Li apologized to the shopkeeper, and then continued to ask:
"But having said that, does the shopkeeper have any knowledge of some of the more evil things around this week's town? We are new here, and we don't want to bump into these evil spirits."
"This one……"
The shopkeeper seemed to be quite reserved, and he was not willing to mention those evil things, but after Jiang Li smiled and handed over a few heavy silver coins, the hesitation on his face still disappeared.
He held the silver, weighed it, put it in his sleeve, and hooked Jiang Li, motioning him to move closer.
Jiang Li leaned his ear closer, and then heard the shopkeeper whisper in his ear:
"If you want to say that the most evil thing in this week's town is the legendary ghost bride."
"Oh? Ghost bride?"
Jiang Li's eyes lit up and asked:
"What kind of ghost bride?"
"This ghost bride is not as simple as a single dirty thing. According to legend, she used to be the most beautiful girl in our town this week, but when she got married, she happened to be wandering from the battlefield between the two countries. A group of deserters came over, this group of deserters killed their entire team, robbed their dowry, and raped the bride to death. Likes to attack foreigners."
