Chapter 76 The Mirror Disappears(1/2)
People at that time regarded the Bottle of All Things as a sacred object and stored it on the island. Every year, leaders from all continents would gather on the island to commemorate the birth of the world.
However, thousands of years later, the descendants of the ancestors began to monopolize all things.
The first war broke out in this world, and the result was that the bottle of all things was broken in the fight.
No matter how hard it is to restore a broken bottle, humans still have the desire to compete for it. Even if it is fragmented, they still want to grab it.
But they didn't expect that the broken Bottle of All Things would automatically bond and change its shape, turning into the square mirror in my pocket.
People of that generation still regarded it as a renewable treasure, and it spent time in various continents.
Later, people discovered that wherever it went, disasters would occur, and none of the six continents would be spared.
So the leaders of the six parties discussed again and suppressed it in Yaoyue Fairy Mountain.
Without the chaos caused by the Sifangjing, the human struggle still continues. The continent named Pingqi also experienced divisions and reunifications, leading to the current situation in which the four countries each occupy one side.
There is an evil thing in my pocket right now. Regardless of whether the world is in chaos or not, I am worried that it will have a negative impact on the four of us.
But thinking about Boss Yue, he has been guarding Sifangjing for some time, and nothing bad seems to have happened. The business of his shop is bleak, and the reason why he can't open it is not because of the appearance of Sifangjing.
I decided to hide this matter from Mr. Zhang and take care of them. Fortunately, Yue Nanxiang was distracted by other things and didn't mention the thing she gave me again.
She discovered that there was a small garden outside the inn, with vegetables planted in it, surrounded by a fence, and beautiful flowers planted outside the fence.
She now has a completely childish mind, and she has forgotten all adult knowledge and common sense.
Manager Zhang patiently accompanied her and explained to her what the vegetables in the garden were called.
He found a bag of sweet potatoes in the kitchen, picked out a few and roasted them in the stove. When they came back from the small vegetable garden, the smell of roasted sweet potatoes came out.
The small inn has six bedrooms, one for the boss, one for the waiter, and the other four are guest rooms.
Manager Zhang asked me to stay in the boss's room, and he stayed in the waiter's room. Yunzhou habitually stayed with me. He wouldn't go into any extra rooms. He stayed in the room where my luggage was.
.
Manager Zhang didn't fully understand my relationship with Yunzhou, so seeing Yunzhou running into my room so naturally, he thought we were a real couple.
But he didn't know that Yunzhou ran into the house, so he lay down on the only bed, leaving no room for me.
Because he acquiesced that I would not sleep on the bed, and the bed belonged to him alone.
Traveling over mountains and ridges for many days was very tiring. As soon as we settled down, we did nothing else but rested early after eating to replenish our strength and sleep.
They couldn't sleep well in the mountains, especially Yue Nanxiang. She would wake up whenever an animal made a strange noise.
After finally finding a place to stay temporarily, catching up on sleep was the most important thing.
As soon as it got dark, they went to bed, and I still sat and practiced. The mountains and forests were quiet, and occasionally there were birds chirping and insects chirping, all the sounds of nature.
The three of us slept until midnight, and I went to the kitchen to cook at noon.
Yue Nanxiang's physical and mental strength recovered, and her curiosity revived. She dragged Manager Zhang and asked, what is the big inn like? Is Shuangye Lake fun? Can she go and see it?
Boss Yue told a lot about Shuangye Lake, which aroused her curiosity.
That place was originally a tourist attraction, and a large 'hotel' with a hundred rooms was built. In this era, it was a proper five-star high-end hotel.
It may not be seen in other countries, and Qunfang Pavilion does not have so many rooms.
Not only was she curious, but I was also curious. The route I chose was relatively biased. This official road from Yuancheng to Jiu Shuang Kingdom could only be considered a 'three-category' official road.
Assuming that the first type of official channel has hundreds of merchants coming and going every day, then the second type of official channel has only 80 people.
By analogy, the number of the three types of official merchants is only about sixty.
It is not possible to maintain this number every day. In addition, it is necessary to exclude those who do not stay in hotels or stay overnight.
At least it has to be halved. The road was not so good in the past, and the number of merchants needed to be halved again. Therefore, Boss Yue's small shop only has four guest rooms, which is just right based on the previous customer flow.
Even if new roads are built, the demand for pedestrian accommodation will not reach 100 people per day.
It is true that Shuangye Lake is a scenic spot on the nearby hills, but the people who visited it in the past were mostly locals from the town and village. They went there in the morning and returned in the evening, so there was no need to stay in a hotel.
Besides, the accommodation fee at Shuangye Inn is not cheap, and the locals are reluctant to spend that wasted money.
In order to satisfy Yue Nanxiang's curiosity, Manager Zhang decided to take her there to see the world.
I said it's okay to see the world, but don't reveal our identity.
Manager Zhang told me to rest assured that he and Yue Nanxiang would go out in disguise.
The last time he went to town, he had already purchased some disguise props.
The two of them spent a long time dressing up in the house, and I really didn't recognize them when they came out.
Manager Zhang dressed up as a gray-haired old lady, wearing a walking stick and crotching her waist. She powdered her face, traced her eyebrows, and applied lipstick.
There is also a bright red begonia flower in her ear.
Yue Nanxiang put on boy's clothes and wore pigtails, dressing up like a 'little naughty'.
She made sacrifices for this and cut her hair a lot shorter.
She didn't feel bad at all, and thought it was very interesting, so the old man and the young man walked out of the shop together.
Manager Zhang was also carrying a rag bag, and the two of them were pretending to be pedestrians on their way.
Yunzhou seemed to find their appearance interesting. He pointed at them and then himself, and said: Go, go!
"You can't go, your features are too obvious to be disguised." A normal person can pretend to be a fool, but a fool cannot pretend to be a normal person. If he goes, he will be recognized immediately if he encounters someone who is chasing us.
The best thing about Yunzhou is that he will not be disappointed if he is not allowed to do anything. If he can't do this thing, he will still be happy if he does something else.
I didn't let him go to Frost Leaf Lake, so he went to the small vegetable garden to observe butterflies. The flowers around the small vegetable garden were particularly attractive to butterflies, and there were always a few colorful butterflies flying around them.
Since they are travelers pretending to be staying overnight, Manager Zhang and the others will definitely not come back to stay tonight.
I prepared food and drink for Yunzhou and took the time to practice.
In the future, life will be difficult for the whole world. Gold and silver are all external possessions. Only martial arts and supernatural powers are the basis for survival.
I quickly practiced without being disturbed. After one round of practice, I adjusted my breath and took a rest. Looking out the window, I saw Yun Zhou sitting in front of the flowers, eating the rice krispie treats made for him by Manager Zhang.
The peace in front of me may not last long, so I looked at the distant mountains and began to organize my thoughts.
The original boss once predicted that the "four-point" situation in Pingqi Continent might change.
She was also happy with the change, so she arranged the layout to speed up the change.
How to make a temporarily stable situation become chaotic?
Naturally, she started a war, and there were her people in the four countries, placed in different positions.
She only does what her boss tells her to do, and doesn't care about anything else.
She didn't know how many secret agents the boss had or who they were.
But she knew where the chaos would start and where it would start.
This is why I want to find out the current situation so that I can know where her plan is going.
But too many things have happened recently, which were not part of her plan.
It's just that the results are similar, such as the destruction of Yuancheng.
If the Four Kingdoms are going to be in chaos, it will be impossible if Yuancheng is not in chaos.
Yuancheng is located in the center of the four countries, and it should not be inclined to any one country.
But the Lu family suddenly got married to the Jiu Shuang Kingdom. No matter how harmonious it seemed on the surface, how many people came to congratulate them, and how supportive they were from the other three countries.
There are definitely more opponents than supporters secretly, that's for sure.
Whether she supports the marriage between the Lu family and the Jiu Shuang Kingdom, or opposes it, it doesn't matter to her original boss. As long as she can mess up Yuancheng, she can join whichever side she wants.
So I'm not sure whether she was involved in the bloodbath of the Lu family and the catastrophe in Yuancheng.
Her goal must have been achieved, at least reaching Yuancheng was the situation she hoped to see.
Starting from Yuancheng, there was a melee between the four kingdoms, and the world fell into chaos again. The final winner will become the sole ruler of Pingqi Continent.
The most special thing about the original boss is that she doesn't want to be the final winner.
She doesn't care who has the last laugh, she just wants to see her plans come true one by one.
Like a chess player, controlling the entire game.
She had bet on many people, including Luo Xiuran.
The Tengxue Country in the north is the most difficult country to conquer due to its terrain.
As early as the era of Wanwu Bottle, no one lived in the north.
No matter how hard people fought at that time, they could not climb over the mountains to reach the snowy forest area in the north.
The arrival of a big ship changed everything.
Visitors from overseas came fleeing and brought deadly infectious diseases with them.
They crossed the ocean and arrived at Pingqi Continent. Of the 5,000 passengers on board, only 1,000 were left when they landed.
The residents along the coast did not dare to take them in, so they walked all the way inland.
To be continued...
