Chapter 404 Countless barren hills in Beimang!(2/2)

From that day on, Li Mo seemed to have lost any interest and directly switched to Kui Gang to pull the cart. In just seven days, he had reached the border of Liangzhou.

"This Liangzhou is more remote than I thought."

Li Mo couldn't help but sigh, compared to where Luofu Mountain is, there are poor mountains and poor waters everywhere. In terms of prosperity and wealth, let alone the capital, even Longyuan Mansion is far behind.

"The terrain of Liangzhou is undulating, with many mountains and rivers blocking roads, so it is not considered a place where things are abundant and the people are prosperous." Chen Wangdu explained.

If it wasn't a bitter cold place, why would Li Mo be sent to such a place?

"Master, the further north you go, the more deserted it becomes."

At this moment, Wang Jiu spoke.

"How do you know?"

"Master forgot, I stayed in Liangzhou for a while."

At the beginning, not long after Wang Jiu awakened to the "Longevity Wuji Kung", he left Luofu Mountain and traveled around the world, looking for ways to live longer and increase his life.

He once traveled to Liangzhou and stayed here for a long time.

When they met again in the capital, Li Mo also heard him talk about the strange experiences he had experienced along the way.

Back when Wang Jiu was in Liangzhou, he met a special little demon who liked to chase the sun and absorb the light. Unfortunately, his method was too rough and his cultivation was too weak.

At that time, Wang Jiu thought that this little demon was so special. Although he practiced different methods, he had a firm mind and had swallowed up so much sunshine. Perhaps the essence was deep inside his body, and eating it must be a great tonic.

However, this little demon is alert by nature and will hide whenever there is any disturbance.

"I found it in a swamp. It was very difficult to catch due to the terrain, but later I discovered that it has a characteristic..."

This little monster likes to listen to the sound of bells. As long as the bell rings, he will definitely appear if he is nearby.

Wang Jiu tried several times and almost caught it, but unfortunately the little demon was too lucky and finally let him run away.

"When you said that, I remembered it." Li Mo patted his forehead and finally had some impression.

"By the way... speaking of monsters, I seem to have forgotten something."

Li Mo turned around, looked at the group of people behind him, and nodded subconsciously... Little Fox, Zhu Ganghui, Kui Gang, Little Black Cat, Wang Jiu, Ji Tianwei, Red Lotus Boy...

"Not one less."

Li Mo nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, now I'm back again. If I meet that little demon again next time, I must catch him." Wang Jiu grinned lightly.

Compared with what he was back then, he is completely different.

If he really encounters the little demon again, there are countless bells lurking, and he will be able to get them with his fingers.



Li Mo and others headed north.

Five days later, we finally arrived at Qingchan City.

The outside of the city was in tatters and looked in disrepair. The city walls had obvious signs of being eroded by wind and sand. However, the inside of the city was much livelier. Although it could not be compared with Longyuan Mansion, it was much more prosperous than Li Mo had imagined.

"The more remote and chaotic the place... the more people come and go..."

As soon as Li Mo entered the city, he found that there were quite a few merchants coming and going here.

Originally, he thought it would be quite deserted here.

"Sir, to the north of Qingchan City are the 100,000 Barren Tombs... This is a big deal. Every year, countless people come and bury their bones in the Barren Tombs, and some people make a fortune from it."

Chen Wangdu always appeared in time when Li Moansheng had doubts.

"One Hundred Thousand Barren Hills..."

Li Mo was thoughtful.

"Sir, let's find a restaurant to rest first."

"Okay, you make arrangements." Li Mo nodded.

After a while, Chen Wangdu found a place.

Yun Feilai Inn is one of the larger inns in Qingchan City.

Prices here are much lower than those in the capital and even Longyuan Prefecture. A plate of pork head meat only costs 30 taels. If it were in Longyuan Prefecture, a better restaurant would cost at least 2 taels of silver...

If it were placed in the capital, this plate of pork head meat would probably cost one tael of silver.

"Wine and food are really cheap. You can go to any restaurant anywhere." Li Mo grinned. A bottle of old wine only costs fifty bucks.

Cheap, too cheap.

"Huh? What kind of dish is this abalone stewed with loach? Why does it cost five taels of silver?"

Li Mo looked at the menu with doubts.

This abalone and loach stew can be said to be the most expensive dish here. It is much more expensive than all other dishes combined, which makes it seem a bit out of place.

"Man, what kind of dish is this abalone stewed with loach? Why is it so expensive?" Li Mo couldn't help but ask when he called the waiter.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey, sir, if you want to eat this dish, you have to go to the private room upstairs." The waiter showed a meaningful smile.

"Poor sir, the conscience of heaven and earth, we are open for serious business."

At this moment, a rush of sound came from upstairs.

Immediately afterwards, a charming landlady came down followed by a government servant, followed by a man with a fat belly, a bruised nose and a swollen face.

"Serious business? What's going on with him?" The Yamen sneered and looked at the man with a bruised nose and swollen face, full of grievances.

"Lord, this bastard ordered a dish of abalone and loach stewed. As you know, this signature dish in our store requires the most effort. It only cost five taels of silver, but it's all genuine..."

"Before this stew that kills a thousand people, I applied medicine to the loach and stewed it for our aunt... The cook took two hours and the abalone was stewed... Is it too much for me to charge him five taels more?"

While talking, the landlady took the clerk's hand and secretly stuffed him with a piece of silver.

"You too, isn't this immoral?"

The officer turned around and glared at the man with a bruised nose and swollen face.

"Take it back."

As soon as he finished speaking, two men who had been waiting nearby for a long time came up and locked up the man with a bruised nose and face.

"Are they from Xuantian Pavilion?"

Li Mo was stunned. Looking at the clothes, there was no doubt that he was from Xuantian Pavilion.

"Do you even care about this kind of thing?"

"Sir, in a remote place, the division of power and responsibilities is not very clear... I heard that in some places, the Xuantian Pavilion's servants are also responsible for picking up excrement." Chen Wangdu lowered his voice and said.

"It's really outrageous." Li Mo was stunned when he heard this.

Although he was a dignified official in the state religion, he didn't expect that after leaving the capital and arriving in such a remote place, the treatment would be so different.

"Boss Boss, you should be more restrained recently. A new adult will come to work here in a few days, so don't leave a bad impression on him."

The officer did not forget to warn him.

"The new adult? What's your background?"

"Hey, you're not much of a grown-up. You're just a bad official. He was sent to us after he committed a crime. I guess he won't be here for long..."

The cadre grinned and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
