"boom!!"
Flames shot up into the sky and then dissipated. Fang Zheng tightly grasped the pitch-black sword in his hand and looked around with murderous intent.
"Okay, what to burn next...where is this?"
What was beyond Fang Zheng's expectation was that the place they appeared this time was not a city like the previous two times, but on a mountain. There were lush trees everywhere, and it looked like a deserted wilderness. At least it looked that way... That was right.
"It seems that there is no one here, father."
Aige looked around curiously and then spoke.
"What should we do next?"
"Well... let's just walk around and take a look..."
This was the first time Fang Zheng had encountered such a situation. In the past, no matter what dungeon it was, he would at least have some clues once he came out. However, this world did not seem to be the case. At least this was just a barren mountain that looked uninhabited. In the lush forest, one could even hear the calls of animals.
Although it looks peaceful, Fang Zheng knows that this world is definitely not that simple. You know, this is a difficult level dog food book!
It’s definitely not as easy as before! I don’t know how difficult it will be!
In this way, the two of them walked down the hillside, but not long after, Ai Ge stretched out her hand in surprise and pointed forward.
"Father, look, there is a house over there!"
"house?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng looked curiously in the direction of Aige's finger, and then he was stunned. He saw a dilapidated building standing not far down the hillside. It was an ancient-looking house with wooden walls covered with tiles. It looked like it had been there for quite some time.
What's this?
Fang Zheng was curious and walked over with Ai Ge. The house in front of them had been in disrepair for a long time, and the door was open. So Fang Zheng and Ai Ge didn't care much and walked in. The empty room was full of broken bricks and tiles. There was a big iron stove in front, which was covered with dust. There was also a table inside, on which were tablets and statues of gods.
“Crack.”
Fang Zheng lowered his head, and then he saw a black plaque not far from his feet, with four big characters written on it: "All wishes will be granted."
“…”
Fang Zheng quietly stepped out, then raised his head and looked again, and then he walked in again.
The dilapidated lobby, the iron stove, the plaque, the statue...
"Father? What's wrong with you?"
Looking at Fang Zheng's strange behavior, Ai Ge blinked curiously, while Fang Zheng pressed his forehead.
“No, nothing, just leave me alone… um…it looks like there’s no one here, so let’s continue walking down.”
"Yeah, okay."
Although she didn't know what Fang Zheng had discovered, Ai Ge still nodded obediently, and then the two continued to walk down the hillside. After walking for more than ten minutes, a village finally appeared in front of them. It looked very old, with tiles and wooden bungalows everywhere. At first glance, it looked like an old village in the mountains that could be seen everywhere.
But what is puzzling is that the people on the street are all wearing strange clothes made of coarse cloth. How to put it... They look like the clothes worn by the villagers in martial arts TV dramas.
"Oh my god, what kind of a world is this..."
Seeing this, Fang Zheng's face had become much uglier. Are you kidding me? He had so much fun burning America in the first two worlds, but in the third world, Ben actually ran back to his hometown? Anyway? Where is this?
Ancient times... um... ancient times...
As he continued to walk forward, Fang Zheng began to think. Since the difficult dog food book must not be particularly weak, at least this means that this world should have a fighting power that exceeds that of the previous superheroes. So what world would it be? Investiture of the Gods? Journey to the West? It can't be Water Margin or Dream of the Red Chamber... Of course, if it's Jin O Mei, that's not bad either...
But I know it's impossible...
Could it be Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?
Of course, considering Shao Shao Shao, it could also be Shan Hai Jing?
While Fang Zheng was thinking, the two had already walked down the hillside and arrived at the entrance of the village. Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of the villagers. After all, the clothes worn by Fang Zheng and Sajo Aika were completely different from those of this era, not to mention that Sajo Aika was blonde and blue-eyed. Unless one was blind, it would be impossible to ignore these two people.
"that……"
At this moment, a girl in a blue robe and a ponytail came over. She glanced at Fang Zheng with a blushing face and asked in a low voice.
"May I ask why you two are here? What's the matter?"
I am Fang Zheng, a poor monk, who came from the Tang Dynasty in the East, and went to the West to worship Buddha and obtain Buddhist scriptures. I passed by here and asked this donor to give me a small amount of alms...
Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng almost slipped up and talked about Journey to the West.
“Well… um…”
How the hell did ancient people speak?
Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng had no idea what to say... No, strictly speaking, he didn't know how to say it!
Forget it, just say whatever you want about love.
"My name is Fang Zheng, this is Ai Ge..."
Fang Zheng decisively gave up on learning how the ancients spoke. He didn't even know how the ancients here spoke.
"Excuse me, where is this place? Is there an inn?"
“This is Sheng Fishing Village.”
Perhaps the other party didn't care about the way Fang Zheng spoke and gave an answer quickly.
"Auntie Li in the village runs an inn. You can rest there."
"Is that so? Thank you very much, young lady."
Hearing Fang Zheng's thanks, the girl blushed and lowered her head.
"You're welcome."
After saying this, the girl turned around and left in a hurry. Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Ai Ge beside him.
"Okay, Aige, let's go to the inn and rest for a while... uh..."
Speaking of this, Fang Zheng suddenly remembered something.
In the past, in other worlds, he would directly hack into the FBI’s account through the Internet to withdraw money. But in this era, let alone the FBI, there is no Internet at all!
Although Fang Zheng had US dollars, Japanese yen, and some gold and silver coins, but...
These things don’t apply here!
What should I do?
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also became depressed.
Robbing money... is impossible. I didn't even see any bandits along the way, so don't expect to encounter any mobile wallets.
So what can I use to pay off my debt? Or is there a pawnshop here? If there is a pawnshop, even if the gems and diamonds may not be of much use, at least I should be able to pawn some gold and silver treasures.
Although the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny. Fang Zheng took Ai Ge to the whole village, but couldn't find a pawn shop at all. On the contrary, Ai Ge's appearance and their outfits attracted a lot of people's attention. In desperation, Fang Zheng had to give up temporarily and go to the village inn to check the situation.
"Welcome, gentlemen! Please come in..."
As soon as the two of them walked into the inn, they saw a proprietress who looked to be in her 50s or 60s coming towards them with a smile. Looking at their attire, she seemed a little curious, but quickly suppressed her expression.
"Excuse me, are you two here for a quick stop or to stay at the hotel?"
“Both…”
Fang Zheng took Ai Ge to sit at a table nearby, then looked around.
"Boss, we don't have any cash on us, I don't know... can you help us?"
"help?"
"Yes."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng took out a golden cup and handed it over.
"These are our personal belongings. We want to exchange them for the currency here... Could you, boss, help us?"
This golden cup is certainly not the Grail of Heaven, nor is it the Holy Grail. In fact, it is just a cup that Fang Zheng took out from the King's Treasure. Anyway, Gilgamesh's treasure house is full of these nouveau riche's stuff. In Fang Zheng's opinion, exchanging it for some money will definitely not be a problem.
"this……"
Looking at the gold cup that Fang Zheng took out, the proprietress hesitated, but she thought for a moment, looked at Fang Zheng and Ai Ge carefully, and then nodded.
"Okay, leave it to me. You can rest assured, sir."
At this moment, suddenly, a lazy voice came from the second floor.
"Aunt, what's the matter? Are there guests?"
Hearing this voice, Fang Zheng saw the proprietress quickly put the gold cup into her pocket, then she stared upstairs and shouted.
"You bastard, get down here and greet the guests! It's already noon and you're still sleeping!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll be right down."
Along with this nonchalant-sounding voice, the next moment Fang Zheng and Ai Ge saw a young man jogging down from the second floor. When he saw Ai Ge, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Wow, Auntie, is there a fairy coming to our inn?"
"Stop talking nonsense in front of the guests!"
The proprietress slapped the young man on the head viciously.
"Go quickly, get some money and go outside to buy some good wine, fish and meat! The two guests are waiting!"
"I know. I'll go now."
As he spoke, the young man stared at Ai Ge for a long time, then ran out unwillingly amid the proprietress's roar.
"Why……"
The proprietress heaved a sigh of relief only after the young man left, and looked at Fang Zheng with an awkward smile.
"Really? That's my useless nephew Li Xiaoyao. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two guests..."
Fang Zheng: ...Meow meow meow? !
Li Xiaoyao? !
